mmadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
The names and attributes of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla are always in manifestation. Every name has its manifestation. And the manifestation of this time, as it is close to Qiyamah, is of the last name: as-Sabur. It means the Most Patient.
There is the manifestation of patience against the rebellion people are making, the oppression and evil people are making, for there has never been such evil as there is in this time. The worst time, as we are living in the end of times, is this time. Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla is delaying His جل جلاله punishment with the manifestation of the name of as-Sabur. Otherwise in other times, He جل جلاله destroyed people who did much less rebellion, or something happened to them.
Therefore, this time we are living in – It is [mentioned] as such in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan as well. When a Prophet came to people and told them something, they kept saying, “Let Allah جل جلاله send us His جل جلاله punishment.” It would be tolerated then. But when the time came, they were punished. Various types of punishment came to those people and they were destroyed. An order came to where the Prophet was, “Go out. These people will be destroyed”, and they were destroyed. But in this time, it has come upon the manifestation of as-Sabur. And because everything must come to an end, they will be punished.
Therefore, be together with Allah جل جلاله. Don’t go against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, because shaytan is attacking everyone. Also, humanity hasn’t had such a comfortable life as in this time. Everything is done by tools and machines. People don’t know what to do because of free time. They are rebelling against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla by saying this and that. They are rebelling against the religion by saying, “I believe. I don’t believe. Let something happen if He جل جلاله exists”. If you say so, there are many examples. Old nations used to say the same. And when it happened to them, they couldn’t be saved.
Therefore, people shouldn’t misuse the manifestation of as-Sabur. Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla is showing patience as a favor so that people, youngsters and elders repent and come to the right way. There is nothing as, “Whatever you do stays with you.” Certainly, you will be questioned and punished.
May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May Allah جل جلاله protect us all and give strength to our Iman insha’Allah.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

ON THE DAY OF ‘ASHURA
08 August 2022/ 10 Muharram 1444
Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah
As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Today is the 10th of Muharram, the holy day of ‘Ashura. It is a blessed day. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla made this day and night one of the holiest. Its day is more virtuous. Therefore, may it be blessed.
Many Prophets, righteous people and saints reached their high ranks on this day. It was the day of salvation for them. Starting with ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam, ending with ‘Isa ‘alayhi s-salam and our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, this day is special for all of them.
Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla made the day of ‘Ashura special for them.
The repentance of ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam was accepted. Idris ‘alayhi s-salam ascended to heavens. Nuh ‘alayhi s-salam was saved from the flood and his ark reached the shore. Musa ‘alayhi s-salam was freed of Pharaoh. Yunus ‘alayhi s-salam got out of the whale’s belly. The birth of ‘Isa ‘alayhi s-salam and his ascension to heavens. All of these had happened on this day. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla appointed this day for other Prophets as well, as it is a holy day full of Barakah.
Therefore, taking a shower today prevents from a serious disease for a year, says our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Applying Kohl in the eyes, giving Sadaqa, and taking care of your family will bring Barakah until next year. Many people know this. Nevertheless, it is useful to repeat. By doing these, insha’Allah the year will be full of Barakah.
Today is the day of the martyrdom of Sayyidina Hussein. That is very virtuous too. To become a Shaheed is one of the highest ranks in the presence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says that when a person goes to Akhirah, he doesn’t want to return to this world. But when someone becomes a Shaheed, he wants to return to this world in order to become Shaheed once again, and again, he wants to return to this world to become Shaheed. It has such a high rank.
Because when he becomes Shaheed, our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam says that with the first drop of blood, all his sins are forgiven. This is the first feature of a Shaheed’s high rank. The second is he sees his place in paradise. The third is he gets married to seventy-two Houris. He can intercede for seventy of the people of hell to go to paradise. He will be put a crown; a jewel on it is more precious than this world. A Shaheed doesn’t have punishment and questioning in the grave. And he will not be questioned in Akhirah. The Shaheed has no suffering; it is like a mosquito bite for him.
The martyrdom of Sayyidina Hussein and those with him is an example for the Ummah. When Ahlu l-Bayt become Shaheed, their rank becomes even higher. Allah جل جلاله gives them more intercession. If an ordinary Shaheed intercedes for seventy people, they intercede for thousands and millions of people. May Allah جل جلاله let us attain their intercession. May their ranks and levels increase.
Shouting and beating yourself is useless. Instead, we should recite for them. We will have benefit from it. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given them their benefit. They won’t have anything with our reciting. Nevertheless, we will attain from their virtues, because their ranks are high. To recite and to make charity for them is something that Muslims should do. No need to do other useless things.
It is an advice. We must tell the Haqq/truth. No need to be afraid of anyone. Ahlu l-Bayt never shouted and beat themselves. All of them were dignified people. And when they became Shaheed, they were happy for it. Because it is the highest of ranks. Sayyidina Hamza is the Sayyid of Shaheeds. He has the highest rank. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was sad for him. He صلى الله عليه وسلم had cried out loudly. But later, he صلى الله عليه وسلم didn’t cry or beat himself every year or every time.
Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is our example. Anyone else is not our example. We should do what our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did. That is Sunnah. That is what Allah جل جلاله loves. May Allah جل جلاله not separate us from the right way. May He جل جلاله let us attain their intercession insha’Allah.
May we be together with them, and may we be on the right way insha’Allah.

EVERYTHING IS CREATED IN RANKS
06 August 2022/ 08 Muharram 1444
Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah
As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
In the presence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla everything has a level and a rank. He جل جلاله created all of them equal but with ranks of some higher than that of others.
وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَـٰتٍ
“Wa-rafa‘nā ba‘ḍahum fawqa ba‘ḍin darajāt’’
‘‘And We have raised some of them above others in ranks.’’ (Qur’ān 43:32).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created some of you with higher ranks and some with lower ranks. Everything Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created is as such, not only people. Nights and days, stars, the moon and the sun, time and space; all of them are created by Allah جل جلاله. And He جل جلاله gave different ranks to each of them. Our appreciation of the things that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave high ranks to is carrying out His جل جلاله order. To honor and respect them is to carry out the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
We are in the month of Muharram. The fasting in the month of Muharram is very virtuous, says our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. But how is its rank? Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says the most virtuous fasting after Ramadan is in the month of Muharram. The honor of the month of Ramadan is much higher. As it is Fard, its honor and worth is much higher. But the second in worth after Ramadan is fasting in Muharram.
Therefore, it is not according to our own minds. It is the way told by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and shown by our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. The way of Islam. The way of Shari’ah and Tariqah. Whoever goes out of it and does things according to his own mind won’t have any benefit. He will be deprived of a great virtue.
The highest in rank among people in the presence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla are Prophets. No one can reach the rank of Prophets in the presence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And the best of people after Prophets is Sayyidina Abu Bakr. The highest rank is of Sayyidina Abu Bakr, but his rank comes after the Prophets.
Some people judge according to their minds. There is nothing like someone can be greater than a Prophet. There is a principle for everything and a wisdom of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Who goes out of the word of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla won’t have any profit. He will be at loss.
The fasting of Muharram is the most virtuous after Ramadan. But it cannot reach the fasting of Ramadan. Even if you fast all of Muharram, it won’t be equal to a day of the fasting in Ramadan. But we are in the month of Muharram, it is very virtuous to fast in it. Tomorrow is the 9th. The most blessed days are the 9th and the 10th.
The 10th is the most blessed, but we should pay attention to a point here. You cannot fast just for a day by saying it is the most blessed. You must fast for two days; either on the 9th and the 10th, or on the 10th and the 11th. If you fast only for a day, you will go against the holy word of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. And you will have committed a sin, because to obey the word of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is Fard for us, Wajib and Sunnah.
Therefore, if you want to fast, you can fast tomorrow and the day after, or later on Monday and Tuesday. But you cannot fast for one day. May Allah جل جلاله bless it.
We are living in very blessed days. It is not good to skip them by saying they are less virtuous than Ramadan. We should certainly show respect to them as much as we can and fast insha’Allah.

OUR PROPHET صلى الله عليه وسلم IS OUR SOURCE
05 August 2022/ 07 Muharram 1444
Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah
As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
It is the beginning of the month of Muharram and its most blessed days. It will be the end of the Haram/Sacred months around the 10th-11th. There were many events in this month, both good and bad. All of them happened by the will and wish of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They are tests for mankind.
Mankind cannot tell what is Halal and Haram, good and bad according to their own minds. Whatever Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla ordered, it is so. We have to follow it. Do not commit a sin by interfering in things you don’t know and you don’t need. Do not do so while trying to do good. Do not show things that are not a worship as a worship. And accept what is a worship. Do it, because Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla showed the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to Muslims, to mankind. He جل جلاله showed him صلى الله عليه وسلم as an example and a teacher. Whatever he صلى الله عليه وسلم taught, do that.
Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says, “Follow what I taught and those who come after me, the Khulafah Rashideen. Follow them and do what they teach”. Do not do things according to your own minds that are not in the religion. All the things that are in the religion are clear. The worship, prayers, Tasbihat, fasting; everything is known in our religion through Madhhabs. Everyone should follow a Madhhab. The four Madhhabs are Haqq/true Madhhabs. Those who follow them will be saved.
Tariqahs are based on Madhhabs and follow them too. The Imams of Madhhabs had taken virtue from Tariqah. They accepted it and had their Shaykhs. They showed the beautiful way. Those who are outside Tariqah, those who are not in Tariqah are certainly wrong. They don’t want to do goodness to people, because who are not in Tariqah have arrogance. Shaytan can cheat them in every way.
Who are in Tariqah are not so. Who are in Tariqah - All the Sahabah were following our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. They were next to him صلى الله عليه وسلم. And the main source is there. Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, our source is our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. We follow him صلى الله عليه وسلم and the way
he صلى الله عليه وسلم shows us. Those outside that, certainly have a bad intention, and do not want to do goodness. Because those who don’t accept the truth strive to make up a way according to
their own minds. And they show it to people as a worship, whereas it is has no relation at all.
May Allah جل جلاله give guidance to people and show them the right way insha’Allah. May He جل جلاله show them the Haqq/truth. May they accept the Haqq/truth insha’Allah.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
There are recited Our’an Khatms, Surahs and Ayat, Tasbihat, Salawat and Duas. May Allah جل جلاله accept them all.
We gift them firstly to the great soul of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, the souls of his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, especially to our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, Hajjah Anne Sultan, Hala Sultan, the souls of all of our late relatives.
For goodness to come and evil to be gone, for protection from the conditions and Fitnahs of this world, in order not to be separated from the right way. May those who are not on the right way join the right way. May they live in abundance, Barakah and safety insha’Allah. Bi-Hurmati l-Fatihah.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦٓ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ ۖ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءُ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ وَنُورُهُ
(Qur’ān 57:19).
‘’Wa l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū Bi-Llāhi Wa Rusulihi, ‘Ūlā’ika Humu s- Siddīqūna Wa sh-Shuhadā’u ‘Inda Rabbihim Lahum ‘Ajruhum Wa Nūruhum’’
‘’And those who have believed in Allah and His messengers - those are (in the ranks of) the supporters of truth and the martyrs, with their Lord. For them is their reward and their light.’’
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla praises the people who believe. They are truthful people who believe in the orders and words of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They belong to paradise, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says that He جل جلاله created people to worship Him جل جلاله. Whoever does that is a beloved person for Allah جل جلاله. Who doesn’t do so, Allah جل جلاله doesn’t like him. BismiLlahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim:
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
‘‘Inna Allāha lā yuhibbu l-kāfirīn”
“Indeed, Allah does not like the disbelievers.’‘ (Qur’ān 03:32).
Allah جل جلاله doesn’t like the Kafirs and those who don’t believe.
Those who believe are truthful. It means they affirm and believe in Allah جل جلاله. Sadiq means they affirm and believe in Allah جل جلاله. They deserve paradise. They have earned paradise. When they earn it, that is the goal. Our goal is not – Allah جل جلاله didn’t send us to this world for eating and drinking, for having fun, or for getting fat. The purpose of mankind’s creation is for Akhirah.
What is not mankind was created for this world. They were created as decoration and ornament for this world. But everything has an account in Akhirah. They will be raised for questioning, and then they will return to soil and be gone. Mankind is who will live forever in Akhirah. Therefore, we should pay attention to this.
People of this time claim that they are clever and they know everything. But they don’t know this. When they don’t know this, they are completely ignorant. The opposite of knowing is ignorance. They fall into a worse ignorance. They don’t use their minds but run after their egos. They belong to hell then.
May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May Allah جل جلاله not separate us from the right way.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

DO THE OBLIGATORY THEN SUPEREROGATORY WORSHIP

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
This holy month of Muharram is the last of the Hurum / Sacred months. It is one of the great months. Fasting in it is a righteous deed with great Thawab. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam says that whoever fasts from the 1st until the 10th reaches the highest rank in Firdaws paradise. These are Nafl / supererogatory fastings, not Fard / obligatory.
Before the Fard of Ramadan in old times, the Fard fasting was done in the month of Muharram. By the will of Allah جل جلاله, Ramadan became Fard after that. The month of Ramadan is Fard for everyone. Its fasting is one of the pillars of Islam.
This month (Muharram)is virtuous. Its a Nafl fasting, a Sunnah fasting. It cannot reach Fard, but has a great Thawab. Some people don’t fast in Ramadan but fast during this month. It is a great loss when people do so, because they leave the Fard and do the Nafl. If you leave the Fard and do the Nafl throughout your life, it won’t replace a Fard.
The Fard is more precious, because if you don’t do the Nafl, there won’t be questioning in Akhirah. You won’t be asked why you didn’t do the Nafl. But if you don’t do the Fard, there is a punishment for it in Akhirah. They will make you do it in such a way that it will be equal to millions of worldly years.
Therefore, we shouldn’t mix up Nafl and Fard. The highest worship is Fard. To perform Fard is the highest worship. As long as you do it, performing Nafl worship alongside it will make you closer to Allah جل جلاله. It is said in Hadith Qudsi, “My servant comes nearer to Me with Nafl worship. With the Nafl worship he performs, I will be his arms and legs, and eyes with which he sees”. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says that.
Nafl prayers are very important. But as we said, if you don’t do the Fard, the Nafl prayers don’t have any value. Therefore, we should be careful. We should not miss the holy days and holy months. But more importantly, we should do the main Fard all year round. Since reaching maturity until death, prayer is Fard. You should do it without skipping. And you should fast every year in Ramadan. And do Nafl as much as you can the rest of the time. May Allah جل جلاله bless this holy month.
May Allah جل جلاله make us all successful in doing good deeds and charity.

TARIQAH IS THE WAY TO REMEMBER ALLAH

Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
قَالُوا۟ يَـٰحَسْرَتَنَا عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِيهَا وَهُمْ يَحْمِلُونَ أَوْزَارَهُمْ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِمْ ۚ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ
(Qur’ān 06:31).
‘’Qālū Yā Hasratanā a’la Mā Farratnā Fīhā Wa Hum Yaĥmilūna ‘Awzārahum a’la Zuhūrihim’’
‘’They will say, “Oh, [how great is] our regret over what we neglected concerning it,” while they bear their burdens on their backs.’’
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says that people who don’t remember Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla in this world and who don’t carry out His جل جلاله orders will regret their conditions in Akhirah and will question themselves how they did so. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says that they will regret their actions and reaching that day with sins. But their regret will be useless. Regret is useless in Akhirah. If you are to regret, when you regret the committed sins in this world, you will save yourself by repenting and asking forgiveness, and Allah جل جلاله will forgive you. But if it is left for Akhirah, regret will be useless. While breathing in this world, regret can be helpful. You cannot breathe in Akhirah. Your breath will be gone. Therefore, it will be useless. You will be punished there.
People forget everything in this world. Most of all, they forget Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says, “Don’t forget Me. فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ
‘’Fā-dhkurūnī’,’
‘‘So remember Me.’ (Qur’ān 02:152).
Remember Me. Do not forget Me.” But mankind forgets. Therefore, in order not to forget, it should be on the door so that you are always reminded.
Tariqahs are for this purpose. They are something necessary for that. Some stupid people say that there is no need for Tariqah. While trying to save our Iman which is the most important, people are losing Iman. They say that Tariqah is like dessert after a meal. Tariqah is not like that. Without Tariqah, they won’t remember anything and won’t connect to anything. Because the end of Tariqah, what we are connected with is our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. And through him صلى الله عليه وسلم people are connected to Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla.
They will remember Allah جل جلاله all the time then. They will say, “We have a Ders / lesson today, we have Dhikr today, we have Khatm today” and will always be together with Allah جل جلاله. They won’t be wasting their time. Those who waste their time are people who are not on this way. They say “I will do it later”, and mostly skip it by forgetting.
So it is important to connect at some point during life in this world. Thi

mmadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
The names and attributes of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla are always in manifestation. Every name has its manifestation. And the manifestation of this time, as it is close to Qiyamah, is of the last name: as-Sabur. It means the Most Patient.
There is the manifestation of patience against the rebellion people are making, the oppression and evil people are making, for there has never been such evil as there is in this time. The worst time, as we are living in the end of times, is this time. Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla is delaying His جل جلاله punishment with the manifestation of the name of as-Sabur. Otherwise in other times, He جل جلاله destroyed people who did much less rebellion, or something happened to them.
Therefore, this time we are living in – It is [mentioned] as such in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan as well. When a Prophet came to people and told them something, they kept saying, “Let Allah جل جلاله send us His جل جلاله punishment.” It would be tolerated then. But when the time came, they were punished. Various types of punishment came to those people and they were destroyed. An order came to where the Prophet was, “Go out. These people will be destroyed”, and they were destroyed. But in this time, it has come upon the manifestation of as-Sabur. And because everything must come to an end, they will be punished.
Therefore, be together with Allah جل جلاله. Don’t go against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, because shaytan is attacking everyone. Also, humanity hasn’t had such a comfortable life as in this time. Everything is done by tools and machines. People don’t know what to do because of free time. They are rebelling against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla by saying this and that. They are rebelling against the religion by saying, “I believe. I don’t believe. Let something happen if He جل جلاله exists”. If you say so, there are many examples. Old nations used to say the same. And when it happened to them, they couldn’t be saved.
Therefore, people shouldn’t misuse the manifestation of as-Sabur. Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla is showing patience as a favor so that people, youngsters and elders repent and come to the right way. There is nothing as, “Whatever you do stays with you.” Certainly, you will be questioned and punished.
May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May Allah جل جلاله protect us all and give strength to our Iman insha’Allah.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

ON THE DAY OF ‘ASHURA
08 August 2022/ 10 Muharram 1444
Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah
As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Today is the 10th of Muharram, the holy day of ‘Ashura. It is a blessed day. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla made this day and night one of the holiest. Its day is more virtuous. Therefore, may it be blessed.
Many Prophets, righteous people and saints reached their high ranks on this day. It was the day of salvation for them. Starting with ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam, ending with ‘Isa ‘alayhi s-salam and our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, this day is special for all of them.
Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla made the day of ‘Ashura special for them.
The repentance of ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salam was accepted. Idris ‘alayhi s-salam ascended to heavens. Nuh ‘alayhi s-salam was saved from the flood and his ark reached the shore. Musa ‘alayhi s-salam was freed of Pharaoh. Yunus ‘alayhi s-salam got out of the whale’s belly. The birth of ‘Isa ‘alayhi s-salam and his ascension to heavens. All of these had happened on this day. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla appointed this day for other Prophets as well, as it is a holy day full of Barakah.
Therefore, taking a shower today prevents from a serious disease for a year, says our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Applying Kohl in the eyes, giving Sadaqa, and taking care of your family will bring Barakah until next year. Many people know this. Nevertheless, it is useful to repeat. By doing these, insha’Allah the year will be full of Barakah.
Today is the day of the martyrdom of Sayyidina Hussein. That is very virtuous too. To become a Shaheed is one of the highest ranks in the presence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says that when a person goes to Akhirah, he doesn’t want to return to this world. But when someone becomes a Shaheed, he wants to return to this world in order to become Shaheed once again, and again, he wants to return to this world to become Shaheed. It has such a high rank.
Because when he becomes Shaheed, our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam says that with the first drop of blood, all his sins are forgiven. This is the first feature of a Shaheed’s high rank. The second is he sees his place in paradise. The third is he gets married to seventy-two Houris. He can intercede for seventy of the people of hell to go to paradise. He will be put a crown; a jewel on it is more precious than this world. A Shaheed doesn’t have punishment and questioning in the grave. And he will not be questioned in Akhirah. The Shaheed has no suffering; it is like a mosquito bite for him.
The martyrdom of Sayyidina Hussein and those with him is an example for the Ummah. When Ahlu l-Bayt become Shaheed, their rank becomes even higher. Allah جل جلاله gives them more intercession. If an ordinary Shaheed intercedes for seventy people, they intercede for thousands and millions of people. May Allah جل جلاله let us attain their intercession. May their ranks and levels increase.
Shouting and beating yourself is useless. Instead, we should recite for them. We will have benefit from it. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given them their benefit. They won’t have anything with our reciting. Nevertheless, we will attain from their virtues, because their ranks are high. To recite and to make charity for them is something that Muslims should do. No need to do other useless things.
It is an advice. We must tell the Haqq/truth. No need to be afraid of anyone. Ahlu l-Bayt never shouted and beat themselves. All of them were dignified people. And when they became Shaheed, they were happy for it. Because it is the highest of ranks. Sayyidina Hamza is the Sayyid of Shaheeds. He has the highest rank. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was sad for him. He صلى الله عليه وسلم had cried out loudly. But later, he صلى الله عليه وسلم didn’t cry or beat himself every year or every time.
Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is our example. Anyone else is not our example. We should do what our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did. That is Sunnah. That is what Allah جل جلاله loves. May Allah جل جلاله not separate us from the right way. May He جل جلاله let us attain their intercession insha’Allah.
May we be together with them, and may we be on the right way insha’Allah.

EVERYTHING IS CREATED IN RANKS

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
In the presence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla everything has a level and a rank. He جل جلاله created all of them equal but with ranks of some higher than that of others.
وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَـٰتٍ
“Wa-rafa‘nā ba‘ḍahum fawqa ba‘ḍin darajāt’’
‘‘And We have raised some of them above others in ranks.’’ (Qur’ān 43:32).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created some of you with higher ranks and some with lower ranks. Everything Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created is as such, not only people. Nights and days, stars, the moon and the sun, time and space; all of them are created by Allah جل جلاله. And He جل جلاله gave different ranks to each of them. Our appreciation of the things that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave high ranks to is carrying out His جل جلاله order. To honor and respect them is to carry out the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
We are in the month of Muharram. The fasting in the month of Muharram is very virtuous, says our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. But how is its rank? Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says the most virtuous fasting after Ramadan is in the month of Muharram. The honor of the month of Ramadan is much higher. As it is Fard, its honor and worth is much higher. But the second in worth after Ramadan is fasting in Muharram.
Therefore, it is not according to our own minds. It is the way told by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and shown by our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. The way of Islam. The way of Shari’ah and Tariqah. Whoever goes out of it and does things according to his own mind won’t have any benefit. He will be deprived of a great virtue.
The highest in rank among people in the presence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla are Prophets. No one can reach the rank of Prophets in the presence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And the best of people after Prophets is Sayyidina Abu Bakr. The highest rank is of Sayyidina Abu Bakr, but his rank comes after the Prophets.
Some people judge according to their minds. There is nothing like someone can be greater than a Prophet. There is a principle for everything and a wisdom of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Who goes out of the word of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla won’t have any profit. He will be at loss.
The fasting of Muharram is the most virtuous after Ramadan. But it cannot reach the fasting of Ramadan. Even if you fast all of Muharram, it won’t be equal to a day of the fasting in Ramadan. But we are in the month of Muharram, it is very virtuous to fast in it. Tomorrow is the 9th. The most blessed days are the 9th and the 10th.
The 10th is the most blessed, but we should pay attention to a point here. You cannot fast just for a day by saying it is the most blessed. You must fast for two days; either on the 9th and the 10th, or on the 10th and the 11th. If you fast only for a day, you will go against the holy word of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. And you will have committed a sin, because to obey the word of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is Fard for us, Wajib and Sunnah.
Therefore, if you want to fast, you can fast tomorrow and the day after, or later on Monday and Tuesday. But you cannot fast for one day. May Allah جل جلاله bless it.
We are living in very blessed days. It is not good to skip them by saying they are less virtuous than Ramadan. We should certainly show respect to them as much as we can and fast insha’Allah.

OUR PROPHET صلى الله عليه وسلم IS OUR SOURCE
05 August 2022/ 07 Muharram 1444
Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah
As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
It is the beginning of the month of Muharram and its most blessed days. It will be the end of the Haram/Sacred months around the 10th-11th. There were many events in this month, both good and bad. All of them happened by the will and wish of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They are tests for mankind.
Mankind cannot tell what is Halal and Haram, good and bad according to their own minds. Whatever Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla ordered, it is so. We have to follow it. Do not commit a sin by interfering in things you don’t know and you don’t need. Do not do so while trying to do good. Do not show things that are not a worship as a worship. And accept what is a worship. Do it, because Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla showed the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to Muslims, to mankind. He جل جلاله showed him صلى الله عليه وسلم as an example and a teacher. Whatever he صلى الله عليه وسلم taught, do that.
Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says, “Follow what I taught and those who come after me, the Khulafah Rashideen. Follow them and do what they teach”. Do not do things according to your own minds that are not in the religion. All the things that are in the religion are clear. The worship, prayers, Tasbihat, fasting; everything is known in our religion through Madhhabs. Everyone should follow a Madhhab. The four Madhhabs are Haqq/true Madhhabs. Those who follow them will be saved.
Tariqahs are based on Madhhabs and follow them too. The Imams of Madhhabs had taken virtue from Tariqah. They accepted it and had their Shaykhs. They showed the beautiful way. Those who are outside Tariqah, those who are not in Tariqah are certainly wrong. They don’t want to do goodness to people, because who are not in Tariqah have arrogance. Shaytan can cheat them in every way.
Who are in Tariqah are not so. Who are in Tariqah - All the Sahabah were following our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. They were next to him صلى الله عليه وسلم. And the main source is there. Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, our source is our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. We follow him صلى الله عليه وسلم and the way
he صلى الله عليه وسلم shows us. Those outside that, certainly have a bad intention, and do not want to do goodness. Because those who don’t accept the truth strive to make up a way according to
their own minds. And they show it to people as a worship, whereas it is has no relation at all.
May Allah جل جلاله give guidance to people and show them the right way insha’Allah. May He جل جلاله show them the Haqq/truth. May they accept the Haqq/truth insha’Allah.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
There are recited Our’an Khatms, Surahs and Ayat, Tasbihat, Salawat and Duas. May Allah جل جلاله accept them all.
We gift them firstly to the great soul of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, the souls of his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, especially to our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, Hajjah Anne Sultan, Hala Sultan, the souls of all of our late relatives.
For goodness to come and evil to be gone, for protection from the conditions and Fitnahs of this world, in order not to be separated from the right way. May those who are not on the right way join the right way. May they live in abundance, Barakah and safety insha’Allah. Bi-Hurmati l-Fatihah.

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦٓ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ ۖ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءُ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ وَنُورُهُ
(Qur’ān 57:19).
‘’Wa l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū Bi-Llāhi Wa Rusulihi, ‘Ūlā’ika Humu s- Siddīqūna Wa sh-Shuhadā’u ‘Inda Rabbihim Lahum ‘Ajruhum Wa Nūruhum’’
‘’And those who have believed in Allah and His messengers - those are (in the ranks of) the supporters of truth and the martyrs, with their Lord. For them is their reward and their light.’’
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla praises the people who believe. They are truthful people who believe in the orders and words of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They belong to paradise, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says that He جل جلاله created people to worship Him جل جلاله. Whoever does that is a beloved person for Allah جل جلاله. Who doesn’t do so, Allah جل جلاله doesn’t like him. BismiLlahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim:
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
‘‘Inna Allāha lā yuhibbu l-kāfirīn”
“Indeed, Allah does not like the disbelievers.’‘ (Qur’ān 03:32).
Allah جل جلاله doesn’t like the Kafirs and those who don’t believe.
Those who believe are truthful. It means they affirm and believe in Allah جل جلاله. Sadiq means they affirm and believe in Allah جل جلاله. They deserve paradise. They have earned paradise. When they earn it, that is the goal. Our goal is not – Allah جل جلاله didn’t send us to this world for eating and drinking, for having fun, or for getting fat. The purpose of mankind’s creation is for Akhirah.
What is not mankind was created for this world. They were created as decoration and ornament for this world. But everything has an account in Akhirah. They will be raised for questioning, and then they will return to soil and be gone. Mankind is who will live forever in Akhirah. Therefore, we should pay attention to this.
People of this time claim that they are clever and they know everything. But they don’t know this. When they don’t know this, they are completely ignorant. The opposite of knowing is ignorance. They fall into a worse ignorance. They don’t use their minds but run after their egos. They belong to hell then.
May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May Allah جل جلاله not separate us from the right way.

DO THE OBLIGATORY THEN SUPEREROGATORY WORSHIP

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
This holy month of Muharram is the last of the Hurum / Sacred months. It is one of the great months. Fasting in it is a righteous deed with great Thawab. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam says that whoever fasts from the 1st until the 10th reaches the highest rank in Firdaws paradise. These are Nafl / supererogatory fastings, not Fard / obligatory.
Before the Fard of Ramadan in old times, the Fard fasting was done in the month of Muharram. By the will of Allah جل جلاله, Ramadan became Fard after that. The month of Ramadan is Fard for everyone. Its fasting is one of the pillars of Islam.
This month (Muharram)is virtuous. Its a Nafl fasting, a Sunnah fasting. It cannot reach Fard, but has a great Thawab. Some people don’t fast in Ramadan but fast during this month. It is a great loss when people do so, because they leave the Fard and do the Nafl. If you leave the Fard and do the Nafl throughout your life, it won’t replace a Fard.
The Fard is more precious, because if you don’t do the Nafl, there won’t be questioning in Akhirah. You won’t be asked why you didn’t do the Nafl. But if you don’t do the Fard, there is a punishment for it in Akhirah. They will make you do it in such a way that it will be equal to millions of worldly years.
Therefore, we shouldn’t mix up Nafl and Fard. The highest worship is Fard. To perform Fard is the highest worship. As long as you do it, performing Nafl worship alongside it will make you closer to Allah جل جلاله. It is said in Hadith Qudsi, “My servant comes nearer to Me with Nafl worship. With the Nafl worship he performs, I will be his arms and legs, and eyes with which he sees”. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says that.
Nafl prayers are very important. But as we said, if you don’t do the Fard, the Nafl prayers don’t have any value. Therefore, we should be careful. We should not miss the holy days and holy months. But more importantly, we should do the main Fard all year round. Since reaching maturity until death, prayer is Fard. You should do it without skipping. And you should fast every year in Ramadan. And do Nafl as much as you can the rest of the time. May Allah جل جلاله bless this holy month.
May Allah جل جلاله make us all successful in doing good deeds and charity.

TARIQAH IS THE WAY TO REMEMBER ALLAH

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
قَالُوا۟ يَـٰحَسْرَتَنَا عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِيهَا وَهُمْ يَحْمِلُونَ أَوْزَارَهُمْ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِمْ ۚ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ
(Qur’ān 06:31).
‘’Qālū Yā Hasratanā a’la Mā Farratnā Fīhā Wa Hum Yaĥmilūna ‘Awzārahum a’la Zuhūrihim’’
‘’They will say, “Oh, [how great is] our regret over what we neglected concerning it,” while they bear their burdens on their backs.’’
Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says that people who don’t remember Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla in this world and who don’t carry out His جل جلاله orders will regret their conditions in Akhirah and will question themselves how they did so. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says that they will regret their actions and reaching that day with sins. But their regret will be useless. Regret is useless in Akhirah. If you are to regret, when you regret the committed sins in this world, you will save yourself by repenting and asking forgiveness, and Allah جل جلاله will forgive you. But if it is left for Akhirah, regret will be useless. While breathing in this world, regret can be helpful. You cannot breathe in Akhirah. Your breath will be gone. Therefore, it will be useless. You will be punished there.
People forget everything in this world. Most of all, they forget Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says, “Don’t forget Me. فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ
‘’Fā-dhkurūnī’,’
‘‘So remember Me.’ (Qur’ān 02:152).
Remember Me. Do not forget Me.” But mankind forgets. Therefore, in order not to forget, it should be on the door so that you are always reminded.
Tariqahs are for this purpose. They are something necessary for that. Some stupid people say that there is no need for Tariqah. While trying to save our Iman which is the most important, people are losing Iman. They say that Tariqah is like dessert after a meal. Tariqah is not like that. Without Tariqah, they won’t remember anything and won’t connect to anything. Because the end of Tariqah, what we are connected with is our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. And through him صلى الله عليه وسلم people are connected to Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla.
They will remember Allah جل جلاله all the time then. They will say, “We have a Ders / lesson today, we have Dhikr today, we have Khatm today” and will always be together with Allah جل جلاله. They won’t be wasting their time. Those who waste their time are people who are not on this way. They say “I will do it later”, and mostly skip it by forgetting.
So it is important to connect at some point during life in this world. Thi
