(Qur’an 06:82).
‘’Al-Ladhina ‘Amanu Wa Lam Yalbisu ‘Imanahum Bizulmin ‘Ula’ika Lahumu Al-‘Amnu Wa Hum Muhtadun’’
’’They who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice - those will have security, and they are [rightly] guided.”
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says that those who believe and do not oppress are guided ones. They are beneficial for people. Those who oppress are neither under guidance, nor with perfect Iman. They make up things according to their own minds, and talk about the religion and Islam in order to oppress people. Their main goal is to oppress people.
There is no oppression in Islam. There is justice in Islam. And when there is justice, there is no oppression. When there is no justice, certainly there is oppression.
The biggest thing shaytan is striving for all the time now in order to remove Islam is to lead Muslims astray and make them oppress others. Those who oppress think they are doing something important. They say, “Muslims are not Muslims. They don’t know Islam, we will teach them Islam. Who won’t learn, we will kill them and remove them. There’s no mercy for them”.
There is not such a thing in Islam. Islam is the religion of mercy, the religion of justice and beauty . Shukr to Allah ?? ????? , so are the people who follow our Holy Prophet ??? ???? ???? ???? and take him ??? ???? ???? ???? as an example. They cannot stand alone. They must certainly follow Tariqah and Madhhab so that they know what they do.
Those who act according to their own minds, saying “I don’t accept any Madhhab” follow shaytan, their desires and egos. They do all kinds of evil unknowingly. They harm people and their families. They harm everyone and themselves on top of all. May Allah ?? ????? protect us from such people.
?They are like a contagious disease. They put doubt and suspicion in people’s hearts. They darken the hearts in every way. And they think they are doing something important through all kinds of evil. Whereas if they think, if they show humbleness and follow someone, if they follow someone who knows, they will be saved. And people will be saved from their evil; but unfortunately.
We ask that Allah ?? ????? extinguishes them. To extinguish them meaning they either reach guidance, or Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will extinguish them otherwise. Oppression doesn’t last. No oppressors will be left. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given them their judgement. He says," ????????? ?? ?????“
“Oppression doesn’t last.” With the permission of Allah ?? ?????, it is good tidings for us.
The owner of justice will come and put everyone on the right way insha’Allah.

THE LAST WEDNESDAY OF SAFAR
21 September 2022/ 25 Safar 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 last Wednesday of Safar ul-Khayr. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says there is heaviness on this day. Everything has a wisdom in it. It comes down like this, says our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. It will be good for Mu’mins, and the rest who deserve it will get what they deserve.
Therefore, as soon as the month of Safar starts, we recite 300 times AstaghfiruLlah every day and ask Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to accept our repentance, to forgive us and not to give us punishment, not to give us hardship. Because we are sinners. We know our sins. We are mistaken. And we know our mistakes. Therefore, we repent and ask forgiveness every day so that He جل جلاله doesn’t punish us and forgives us. But those who go against Him جل جلاله will certainly get their punishment
There hasn’t been such a time of rebellion against Allah جل جلاله since the world was created. They had gone against Him جل جلاله sometimes, but not as much as now. They are ordering not the best but the worst of everything now. There is no goodness at all. When it seems like goodness, there are lies, hypocrisy and tricks. Otherwise, shaytan has many tricks, but these people have become worse than shaytan.
Therefore, everything has a wisdom. The heaviness of this Wednesday once a year is disciplinary. It is punishment for them.
Therefore, believers and those who repent and ask forgiveness should not be afraid with the permission of Allah جل جلاله. Allah جل جلاله will protect them. Allah جل جلاله loves those who repent and ask forgiveness.
If those who commit sins repent and ask forgiveness too, He جل جلاله will accept it. There is an Ayah in the Qur’an that says: If they return and repent, Allah جل جلاله will accept it. But they are stubborn and arrogant. They think they are important.
They’ve learnt a couple of words and keep repeating it by heart. Those who follow them are very mindless. We cannot say anything else about them. Clever people won’t go after these tricks. They won’t leave the right way. The way is clear. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has shown everything to people. Those who leave it and follow other people will perish. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
The punishment in this world is a warning. We should not see it as bad. We should see it as good so that people return to the right way. Just like the animals are whipped, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla does these things so that people return to the right way. When there is hardship, people start calling “Allah”. When there is no hardship, they think that they are the greatest. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
Insha’Allah today will pass lightly with the permission of Allah جل جلاله. May the oppressors have its heaviness, badness and disasters so that they fall off the backs of believers. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.

THE IMPORTANCE OF JAMA’AH

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.
AlhamduliLlah, we travelled for the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله and met with our brothers, and came back. As people are on the way of Allah جل جلاله, Allah جل جلاله protects them. Insha’Allah may they become a means of guidance for others. This is our goal. The goal must be for the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله. When it is so, everything has benefit.
Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says, “May Allah جل جلاله protect us from useless knowledge”. Useless knowledge is not knowledge but harm. Because when it has no benefit to yourself, it can’t bring benefit to others. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam mentions this in many Hadiths.
Those who have knowledge but do the opposite get more punishment; double or five folds the punishment. It is because they are aware of what they are doing. But those who don’t know don’t get that much punishment until they know. Those who know and tell people to do this and that but don’t do it themselves, that is useless knowledge.
May Allah جل جلاله be pleased. Insha’Allah our deeds and the deeds of our brothers over there will bring benefit to them and to others. There is Fitnah all over the world, but it is more over there. And it is more difficult for them. May Allah جل جلاله protect them. Insha’Allah they will gather, support each other and make Jama’ah.“,
“يَدُ اللَّهِ مَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ”
“Allah’s جل جلاله Hand of Power is upon the the community.” [Hadith]. Allah جل جلاله is with those who come together. They will save both themselves and others insha’Allah. May Allah جل جلاله be pleased with them.
May Allah جل جلاله protect all of us and them insha’Allah from the evil of shaytan and the evil of Dunya, especially today.
Tomorrow is last Wednesday of Safar ul-Khayr insha’Allah. It is a bit heavy, but to those who give Sadaqah and make Dua to Allah جل جلاله, everything is easy. Nothing is difficult. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla makes the difficult easy. No matter how difficult it is, with His جل جلاله Power it will be easy. Otherwise, the difficult cannot be easy.
May Allah جل جلاله protect all of us from the evil of Dunya and Fitnah. May Allah جل جلاله protect us from the visible and invisible accidents. May He جل جلاله give strength to our Iman.

THE MONTH OF MAWLID
19 September 2022/ 23 Safar 1444
Fajr Prayer – Berlin, Germany
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 Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, our Ziyarah has ended with goodness insha’Allah. We came on this trip with goodness and it ended with goodness insha’Allah. May Allah جل جلاله accept it. Insha’Allah may it be means for guidance for us and for the people here.
This month is the month of Safar, and it is
insha’Allah ending. The last Wednesday comes heavy but insha’Allah it passes with safety. Give Sadaqah more and insha’Allah it will pass with Barakah.
The next month is the month of Mawlid, the blessed month that our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم came to this world in. To honor it is to honor our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Everything of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is a Barakah for us. Because it is a beloved thing for Allah جل جلاله, to honor and respect it is good for us and has rewards in the presence of Allah ,جل جلاله
Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was born on a Monday. He said, “It is my birth day. Honor it.” We honor it for the honor of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم We honor it for the love of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Don’t listen to people who are cheated by shaytan, who say, “You are making Bid’ah. You are making sin.” Don’t listen to those who say this because Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says that the more you make Salawat on our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, the better your works will go. Even to start and end your Dua with Salawat, it’ll be a means for the Dua to be certainly answered.
Therefore, Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, from now on, may the month of Month of Mawlid be of Barakah and goodness upon the Ummah insha’Allah. We live in days of calamities and difficulties. With its Barakah, all difficulties will be gone and there will be happiness insha’Allah.
May Allah جل جلاله give us a strong Iman for his صلى الله عليه وسلم sake, and give us happiness here and hereafter.

ISLAM IS TOLERANCE
17 September 2022/ 21 Safar 1444
Berlin, Germany
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 Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Our way is with gathering with people, with anyone. It’s not important from where they’re coming or from which color. Our way is the way of prophets, since Adam ‘alayhi s-salam until our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, and until now we are in this way. The way of good things, way of beauty, as Feride Hanim said.
Not many ways only this way continues from the first human being, our father Adam ‘alayhi s- salam. There are many ways that people try. It’s okay, but most of them are following this way because all the messengers and prophets are on the same way, not different. It’s said in the Qur’an:
لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ
‘’Lā Nufarriqu Bayna ‘Ahadin Min Rusulih’’
‘‘We make no distinction between any of His messengers.’’ (Qur’ān 02:285).
We make no differentiation between prophets. All of them are on one way. This continues until when? Until Qiyāmah, forever. Other ways are also for people to search for reality, for what is good for us, they give a good thing to think. For this, so many people join this main one.
Who joins this way is lucky. Because as we said, prophets are infallible. Allah جل جلاله created human beings and the highest in His جل جلاله Divine Presence are prophets and messengers; because many of the prophets don’t have a message, they continue other prophets’ message from Allah جل جلاله.
There are 313 prophets that are messengers. They bring teaching from heaven, from the Divine Presence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. So the highest in the Divine Presence of Allah جل جلاله are these people. And to not make people have doubt about this, they are infallible. They do not do any wrong; no sin, no wrong thing. Sometimes maybe to teach people, Allah جل جلاله makes it special for them to do [wrong]. But normally, they don’t have this thing, to make sins. Maybe they can make wrong for teaching [people] and then they know this, they repent and teach people, “Look, what we did is wrong, we made a wrong because we are also human beings.” But for us, we must follow them.
So there are 124,000 Prophets. All on the same line. Around them there are maybe millions of people who claim that they are right, that they’re good. But most of them you cannot find any that reaches. Even if reaching until now, it will not reach forever, only until the Day of Resurrection, after it will finish. But our way, way of prophets, is going forever because we are believers and they taught us that real life is after our life now.
Our life is only to make us [to see] which way we will go, where we will go. So Islam has this – all prophets have this, but people forget. To not ask “Why this happened? What is this?” No.
Who says about himself a believer must have good behavior. Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said:
إنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ لِأُتَمِّمَ مَكَارِمَ الأََخلاقِ
“Innama bu’ithtu li- utammima makaarima l-akhlaq”
“I was sent to perfect good character” [Hadith]. “Allah جل جلاله sent me to teach people good behavior.”
And that is to be good with people, to have respect for people, for creatures, for nature, for everything. That’s the good behavior that Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is teaching us. And to have respect for everyone’s belief.
What they’re teaching about Islam is the opposite of this. And people who don’t belong to any rule of Islam, they claim to be Muslim and they show Islam as violence to people, no civilization, they don’t have anything. This is what they’re showing. They say, “Islam was spread with the sword.” But in that time, the whole world was coming from side to side and oppressing people. Other countries also, like Rome or like Persia. All of them were ruling people with oppression.
So for Muslims to go and invite people to Islam, this was normal for them. And when they take [over] countries, they don’t kill civil people. They were only fighting armies and when they win they take the country. Also most of the countries they were going to such as Rome, they were not from that area, so they fought and won, and took this area for themselves. And because they don’t touch any civil people, all the people who were living there don’t kick them out from houses or cities. All of them stay there, they are safe with their religion, with their money, with their everything. They don’t say anything to people, only this country was under the rule of Islam.
This is the same from 1,400 years, all religions can be in a Muslim country without any harming. Or even if anybody harms them, they punish him more than if a Muslim harms a Muslim. This is the beauty of Islam, the tolerance of Islam. Everyone can be there, nobody forces you to be Muslim or anything else, or send you out from your place.
Even Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was taking loans from Jewish people and after he can give them. They were sometimes even coming and asking in a tough way, “Give me my money”. The Sahabah were angry with them. He صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Don’t do anything. He’s right. Tell him to be patient, we will pay him.”
Islam is the religion of mercy. Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “Be merciful with people, Allah جل جلاله will be Merciful with you.” This is the way of the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and the way of Sufi people, Tariqah people; they are following this.
We have an order; we can fight who makes trouble for people. But what about those who claim that Islam is violence and all this reality is in front of them! But the other side: Isa ‘alayhi s-salam, who’s our prophet also, said to people of his time, “If someone hits you on the right side of your face, turn your left side so that he hits you on that side also.” We see his holy – AstaghfiruLlah not his – [but] those who are claiming that they are following him in his holy word, when they conquered Jerusalem – and they are [mentioned] in history, in your book also – they cut 70,000 from old, young, baby, from Muslims and Jewish; they cut them there. This is reality.
And we visited Spain also, Andalusia where these Monks were reading the bible and they were saying to people, “You will die and we will change your religion.” They killed many people, many millions, I don’t know how much. Not only Muslims but from Jewish also. They were telling them, “If you don’t change [your religion], we will kill you also.”
So the Ottoman Sultan saved many of them and brought them to a safe place in a Muslim country. The Ottoman Empire saved them and until now they are in this area. Tolerance is supposed to be with these people but the real tolerance is with prophets, Isa ‘alayhi s-salam. Who is following him must be tolerant. But we are following him, we have this tolerance and especially Sufi people, they respect all the creatures of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
And the biggest enemy for these people who are making violence in the name of Islam are the Sufi and Muslims. We do not accept this. They are not real Muslims. They are not real followers of the way of prophets. We are trying to keep this way. This way will not finish. Other will finish. What’s not good will be removed, and reality will appear for all people.
There are many things that maybe Western people don’t understand well. We are in this world not the second world; we are not in paradise. Allah جل جلاله created everything for testing us. He is testing us: who will be in the right way, and who will follow himself and run away from the right way. Because we hear from many people, because they don’t have this culture of good behavior. They don’t know what good behavior means. They have this system; they say this word for what they like to do but when they don’t like it they ignore it: “Democracy”. They put it in people’s minds from a young age and it cannot be changed. This civilized world is using this and they think it’s a perfect thing, but I don’t think so. We see this in our world.
With democracy, millions of people die, tens of millions of people run from their houses to Europe, to everywhere in the world. And Masha’Allah democracy was very nice.
But this is not our subject, only [mentioned it] through, we will continue with this. It is also a test from Allah جل جلاله for people. “In democracy we can say anything for everyone”, this is what they say. They began from our father, the first man, Adam ‘alayhi s-salam. They became angry at him, “You did this and we are carrying your sin. All human beings are carrying your sin”, they are saying. This happened by a wisdom from Allah جل جلاله. We came to this world until a [certain] time, and after that some people will go back to paradise and some people will go to another place.
The subject and point here is that when you say something about a prophet, and he’s the first man, he’s our father, you don’t have a good behavior towards him, accuse him and say bad things to him, this is the beginning, opening the door of bad behavior. For this, when people open this door, they make a bad behavior towards our Creator Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Many of them say, “Why are these people suffering from hunger, people suffering from illness, people suffering from this, from that? Why is Allah making this?” This is bad behavior, because you cannot come against Him جل جلاله. You cannot ask Him جل جلاله why.
This is the first good behavior in Islam: to accept everything that comes from your Lord Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Don’t say this is good and this is bad at all. Especially for Tariqah people, this is very important. Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “How wonderful is it for the Mu’min! Everything is good for him.” If he’s happy, he’s rich, and he’s thankful for Allah جل جلاله, Allah جل جلاله gives him more and rewards him. And if he’s suffering from badness, from illness, from poorness or from anything else, and he’s patient and Allah جل جلاله will reward him for his patience. This is the teaching of Islam, teaching of Tariqah, Sufi. This is the main teaching: to accept everything, don’t object, don’t say your opinion especially for things that are the orders of religion or spiritual things.
The summary of this is to explain about Islam, about Sufi, about Tariqah. We made it a little bit long, but the summary is Tolerance, Mercy and love for your Creator, and the respectable people. The most respectable people are the prophets. You must respect them. We accept all of them.
This is the summary of this lecture insha’Allah. May Allah جل جلاله make it of benefit for people, for who are listening, to be happiness for you here and hereafter.

’’They who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice - those will have security, and they are [rightly] guided.”
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says that those who believe and do not oppress are guided ones. They are beneficial for people. Those who oppress are neither under guidance, nor with perfect Iman. They make up things according to their own minds, and talk about the religion and Islam in order to oppress people. Their main goal is to oppress people.
There is no oppression in Islam. There is justice in Islam. And when there is justice, there is no oppression. When there is no justice, certainly there is oppression.
The biggest thing shaytan is striving for all the time now in order to remove Islam is to lead Muslims astray and make them oppress others. Those who oppress think they are doing something important. They say, “Muslims are not Muslims. They don’t know Islam, we will teach them Islam. Who won’t learn, we will kill them and remove them. There’s no mercy for them”.
There is not such a thing in Islam. Islam is the religion of mercy, the religion of justice and beauty . Shukr to Allah ?? ????? , so are the people who follow our Holy Prophet ??? ???? ???? ???? and take him ??? ???? ???? ???? as an example. They cannot stand alone. They must certainly follow Tariqah and Madhhab so that they know what they do.

Today is the last Wednesday of Safar ul-Khayr. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says there is heaviness on this day. Everything has a wisdom in it. It comes down like this, says our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. It will be good for Mu’mins, and the rest who deserve it will get what they deserve.
Therefore, as soon as the month of Safar starts, we recite 300 times AstaghfiruLlah every day and ask Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to accept our repentance, to forgive us and not to give us punishment, not to give us hardship. Because we are sinners. We know our sins. We are mistaken. And we know our mistakes. Therefore, we repent and ask forgiveness every day so that He جل جلاله doesn’t punish us and forgives us. But those who go against Him جل جلاله will certainly get their punishment
There hasn’t been such a time of rebellion against Allah جل جلاله since the world was created. They had gone against Him جل جلاله sometimes, but not as much as now. They are ordering not the best but the worst of everything now. There is no goodness at all. When it seems like goodness, there are lies, hypocrisy and tricks. Otherwise, shaytan has many tricks, but these people have become worse than shaytan.
Therefore, everything has a wisdom. The heaviness of this Wednesday once a year is disciplinary. It is punishment for them.
Therefore, believers and those who repent and ask forgiveness should not be afraid with the permission of Allah جل جلاله. Allah جل جلاله will protect them. Allah جل جلاله loves those who repent and ask forgiveness.
If those who commit sins repent and ask forgiveness too, He جل جلاله will accept it. There is an Ayah in the Qur’an that says: If they return and repent, Allah جل جلاله will accept it. But they are stubborn and arrogant. They think they are important.
They’ve learnt a couple of words and keep repeating it by heart. Those who follow them are very mindless. We cannot say anything else about them. Clever people won’t go after these tricks. They won’t leave the right way. The way is clear. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has shown everything to people. Those who leave it and follow other people will perish. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
The punishment in this world is a warning. We should not see it as bad. We should see it as good so that people return to the right way. Just like the animals are whipped, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla does these things so that people return to the right way. When there is hardship, people start calling “Allah”. When there is no hardship, they think that they are the greatest. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
Insha’Allah today will pass lightly with the permission of Allah جل جلاله. May the oppressors have its heaviness, badness and disasters so that they fall off the backs of believers. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.

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.

AlhamduliLlah, we travelled for the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله and met with our brothers, and came back. As people are on the way of Allah جل جلاله, Allah جل جلاله protects them. Insha’Allah may they become a means of guidance for others. This is our goal. The goal must be for the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله. When it is so, everything has benefit.
Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says, “May Allah جل جلاله protect us from useless knowledge”. Useless knowledge is not knowledge but harm. Because when it has no benefit to yourself, it can’t bring benefit to others. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam mentions this in many Hadiths.
Those who have knowledge but do the opposite get more punishment; double or five folds the punishment. It is because they are aware of what they are doing. But those who don’t know don’t get that much punishment until they know. Those who know and tell people to do this and that but don’t do it themselves, that is useless knowledge.
May Allah جل جلاله be pleased. Insha’Allah our deeds and the deeds of our brothers over there will bring benefit to them and to others. There is Fitnah all over the world, but it is more over there. And it is more difficult for them. May Allah جل جلاله protect them. Insha’Allah they will gather, support each other and make Jama’ah.“,
“يَدُ اللَّهِ مَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ”
“Allah’s جل جلاله Hand of Power is upon the the community.” [Hadith]. Allah جل جلاله is with those who come together. They will save both themselves and others insha’Allah. May Allah جل جلاله be pleased with them.
May Allah جل جلاله protect all of us and them insha’Allah from the evil of shaytan and the evil of Dunya, especially today.
Tomorrow is last Wednesday of Safar ul-Khayr insha’Allah. It is a bit heavy, but to those who give Sadaqah and make Dua to Allah جل جلاله, everything is easy. Nothing is difficult. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla makes the difficult easy. No matter how difficult it is, with His جل جلاله Power it will be easy. Otherwise, the difficult cannot be easy.
May Allah جل جلاله protect all of us from the evil of Dunya and Fitnah. May Allah جل جلاله protect us from the visible and invisible accidents. May He جل جلاله give strength to our Iman.

THE MONTH OF MAWLID
19 September 2022/ 23 Safar 1444
Fajr Prayer – Berlin, Germany
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 Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, our Ziyarah has ended with goodness insha’Allah. We came on this trip with goodness and it ended with goodness insha’Allah. May Allah جل جلاله accept it. Insha’Allah may it be means for guidance for us and for the people here.
This month is the month of Safar, and it is
insha’Allah ending. The last Wednesday comes heavy but insha’Allah it passes with safety. Give Sadaqah more and insha’Allah it will pass with Barakah.
The next month is the month of Mawlid, the blessed month that our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم came to this world in. To honor it is to honor our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Everything of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is a Barakah for us. Because it is a beloved thing for Allah جل جلاله, to honor and respect it is good for us and has rewards in the presence of Allah ,جل جلاله
Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was born on a Monday. He said, “It is my birth day. Honor it.” We honor it for the honor of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم We honor it for the love of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Don’t listen to people who are cheated by shaytan, who say, “You are making Bid’ah. You are making sin.” Don’t listen to those who say this because Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says that the more you make Salawat on our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, the better your works will go. Even to start and end your Dua with Salawat, it’ll be a means for the Dua to be certainly answered.
Therefore, Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, from now on, may the month of Month of Mawlid be of Barakah and goodness upon the Ummah insha’Allah. We live in days of calamities and difficulties. With its Barakah, all difficulties will be gone and there will be happiness insha’Allah.
May Allah جل جلاله give us a strong Iman for his صلى الله عليه وسلم sake, and give us happiness here and hereafter.

ISLAM IS TOLERANCE
17 September 2022/ 21 Safar 1444
Berlin, Germany
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 Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Our way is with gathering with people, with anyone. It’s not important from where they’re coming or from which color. Our way is the way of prophets, since Adam ‘alayhi s-salam until our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, and until now we are in this way. The way of good things, way of beauty, as Feride Hanim said.
Not many ways only this way continues from the first human being, our father Adam ‘alayhi s- salam. There are many ways that people try. It’s okay, but most of them are following this way because all the messengers and prophets are on the same way, not different. It’s said in the Qur’an:
لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ
‘’Lā Nufarriqu Bayna ‘Ahadin Min Rusulih’’
‘‘We make no distinction between any of His messengers.’’ (Qur’ān 02:285).
We make no differentiation between prophets. All of them are on one way. This continues until when? Until Qiyāmah, forever. Other ways are also for people to search for reality, for what is good for us, they give a good thing to think. For this, so many people join this main one.
Who joins this way is lucky. Because as we said, prophets are infallible. Allah جل جلاله created human beings and the highest in His جل جلاله Divine Presence are prophets and messengers; because many of the prophets don’t have a message, they continue other prophets’ message from Allah جل جلاله.
There are 313 prophets that are messengers. They bring teaching from heaven, from the Divine Presence of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. So the highest in the Divine Presence of Allah جل جلاله are these people. And to not make people have doubt about this, they are infallible. They do not do any wrong; no sin, no wrong thing. Sometimes maybe to teach people, Allah جل جلاله makes it special for them to do [wrong]. But normally, they don’t have this thing, to make sins. Maybe they can make wrong for teaching [people] and then they know this, they repent and teach people, “Look, what we did is wrong, we made a wrong because we are also human beings.” But for us, we must follow them.
So there are 124,000 Prophets. All on the same line. Around them there are maybe millions of people who claim that they are right, that they’re good. But most of them you cannot find any that reaches. Even if reaching until now, it will not reach forever, only until the Day of Resurrection, after it will finish. But our way, way of prophets, is going forever because we are believers and they taught us that real life is after our life now.
Our life is only to make us [to see] which way we will go, where we will go. So Islam has this – all prophets have this, but people forget. To not ask “Why this happened? What is this?” No.
Who says about himself a believer must have good behavior. Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said:
إنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ لِأُتَمِّمَ مَكَارِمَ الأََخلاقِ
“Innama bu’ithtu li- utammima makaarima l-akhlaq”
“I was sent to perfect good character” [Hadith]. “Allah جل جلاله sent me to teach people good behavior.”
And that is to be good with people, to have respect for people, for creatures, for nature, for everything. That’s the good behavior that Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is teaching us. And to have respect for everyone’s belief.
What they’re teaching about Islam is the opposite of this. And people who don’t belong to any rule of Islam, they claim to be Muslim and they show Islam as violence to people, no civilization, they don’t have anything. This is what they’re showing. They say, “Islam was spread with the sword.” But in that time, the whole world was coming from side to side and oppressing people. Other countries also, like Rome or like Persia. All of them were ruling people with oppression.
So for Muslims to go and invite people to Islam, this was normal for them. And when they take [over] countries, they don’t kill civil people. They were only fighting armies and when they win they take the country. Also most of the countries they were going to such as Rome, they were not from that area, so they fought and won, and took this area for themselves. And because they don’t touch any civil people, all the people who were living there don’t kick them out from houses or cities. All of them stay there, they are safe with their religion, with their money, with their everything. They don’t say anything to people, only this country was under the rule of Islam.
This is the same from 1,400 years, all religions can be in a Muslim country without any harming. Or even if anybody harms them, they punish him more than if a Muslim harms a Muslim. This is the beauty of Islam, the tolerance of Islam. Everyone can be there, nobody forces you to be Muslim or anything else, or send you out from your place.
Even Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was taking loans from Jewish people and after he can give them. They were sometimes even coming and asking in a tough way, “Give me my money”. The Sahabah were angry with them. He صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Don’t do anything. He’s right. Tell him to be patient, we will pay him.”
Islam is the religion of mercy. Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “Be merciful with people, Allah جل جلاله will be Merciful with you.” This is the way of the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and the way of Sufi people, Tariqah people; they are following this.
We have an order; we can fight who makes trouble for people. But what about those who claim that Islam is violence and all this reality is in front of them! But the other side: Isa ‘alayhi s-salam, who’s our prophet also, said to people of his time, “If someone hits you on the right side of your face, turn your left side so that he hits you on that side also.” We see his holy – AstaghfiruLlah not his – [but] those who are claiming that they are following him in his holy word, when they conquered Jerusalem – and they are [mentioned] in history, in your book also – they cut 70,000 from old, young, baby, from Muslims and Jewish; they cut them there. This is reality.
And we visited Spain also, Andalusia where these Monks were reading the bible and they were saying to people, “You will die and we will change your religion.” They killed many people, many millions, I don’t know how much. Not only Muslims but from Jewish also. They were telling them, “If you don’t change [your religion], we will kill you also.”
So the Ottoman Sultan saved many of them and brought them to a safe place in a Muslim country. The Ottoman Empire saved them and until now they are in this area. Tolerance is supposed to be with these people but the real tolerance is with prophets, Isa ‘alayhi s-salam. Who is following him must be tolerant. But we are following him, we have this tolerance and especially Sufi people, they respect all the creatures of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
And the biggest enemy for these people who are making violence in the name of Islam are the Sufi and Muslims. We do not accept this. They are not real Muslims. They are not real followers of the way of prophets. We are trying to keep this way. This way will not finish. Other will finish. What’s not good will be removed, and reality will appear for all people.
There are many things that maybe Western people don’t understand well. We are in this world not the second world; we are not in paradise. Allah جل جلاله created everything for testing us. He is testing us: who will be in the right way, and who will follow himself and run away from the right way. Because we hear from many people, because they don’t have this culture of good behavior. They don’t know what good behavior means. They have this system; they say this word for what they like to do but when they don’t like it they ignore it: “Democracy”. They put it in people’s minds from a young age and it cannot be changed. This civilized world is using this and they think it’s a perfect thing, but I don’t think so. We see this in our world.
With democracy, millions of people die, tens of millions of people run from their houses to Europe, to everywhere in the world. And Masha’Allah democracy was very nice.
But this is not our subject, only [mentioned it] through, we will continue with this. It is also a test from Allah جل جلاله for people. “In democracy we can say anything for everyone”, this is what they say. They began from our father, the first man, Adam ‘alayhi s-salam. They became angry at him, “You did this and we are carrying your sin. All human beings are carrying your sin”, they are saying. This happened by a wisdom from Allah جل جلاله. We came to this world until a [certain] time, and after that some people will go back to paradise and some people will go to another place.
The subject and point here is that when you say something about a prophet, and he’s the first man, he’s our father, you don’t have a good behavior towards him, accuse him and say bad things to him, this is the beginning, opening the door of bad behavior. For this, when people open this door, they make a bad behavior towards our Creator Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Many of them say, “Why are these people suffering from hunger, people suffering from illness, people suffering from this, from that? Why is Allah making this?” This is bad behavior, because you cannot come against Him جل جلاله. You cannot ask Him جل جلاله why.
This is the first good behavior in Islam: to accept everything that comes from your Lord Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Don’t say this is good and this is bad at all. Especially for Tariqah people, this is very important. Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “How wonderful is it for the Mu’min! Everything is good for him.” If he’s happy, he’s rich, and he’s thankful for Allah جل جلاله, Allah جل جلاله gives him more and rewards him. And if he’s suffering from badness, from illness, from poorness or from anything else, and he’s patient and Allah جل جلاله will reward him for his patience. This is the teaching of Islam, teaching of Tariqah, Sufi. This is the main teaching: to accept everything, don’t object, don’t say your opinion especially for things that are the orders of religion or spiritual things.
The summary of this is to explain about Islam, about Sufi, about Tariqah. We made it a little bit long, but the summary is Tolerance, Mercy and love for your Creator, and the respectable people. The most respectable people are the prophets. You must respect them. We accept all of them.
This is the summary of this lecture insha’Allah. May Allah جل جلاله make it of benefit for people, for who are listening, to be happiness for you here and hereafter.
