SPEAK GOOD OR KEEP QUIET
4 October 2022/ 8 Rabih Al awwal 1444 Lefke , Cyprus
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 Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that whoever is to say something, let him say good things. If he won't say good things, he must be quiet. It is better to keep quiet. Speak about good things. To speak good things is carrying out the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And mu’mins, Muslims, those who love our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, people of ṭarīqah, people of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l- Jama’ah and people on the right way carry out this order, shukr to Allāh جل جلاله
It is always carried out. But these days, it is the month of Rabī‘ ul-Awwal, the month of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. We always remember the birth and arrival of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in this month and take this beautiful manifestation upon us. We take our share of the mercy, gaze and reward of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla to ourselves.
This is a good thing to say. It is not good to keep quiet about it. You must not. You must say it because you are saying good things. Who are those who don't say good things? They are the ones who object to it. They say when you read Mawlid, you don't do the good thing, you commit a sin. And they are people who think they are Muslim. How come then?
Which one is saying good and which one is saying bad? People who say the good thing are those who honor our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, who remember his صلى الله عليه وسلم birth, life and biography. Our duty is to remember all the actions of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.They are things that are wājib and farḍ. It is good that we do them .
As our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, we must speak. But when we speak, we must speak well. If you are going to say bad things, keep quiet. Those who object to it should keep quiet. They must keep quiet. What they speak is badness, it is not good.
Therefore, they should know this themselves. It is just a short advice. We don't make it long for them to think well about it. May Allāh جل جلاله give mind and understanding to all.
May people not be confused about Mawlid being bid’ah, Mawlid not being good. On the contrary, we are not celebrating the birthday of a singer for it to be bad. Hāshā min al-huḍrr, la tashbih. It tells us about our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم who is an example for us and tells us about the power and miracles of Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla, about all of that and the miracles. What can it be apart from goodness?
May Allāh جل جلاله let us all attain his صلى الله عليه وسلم intercession insha’Allah.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

REAL HAPPINESS IS TO LOVE THE PROPHET صلى الله عليه وسلم
3 October 2022/ 7 Rabih Al awwal 1444 Lefke , Cyprus
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.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
(Qur’ān 21:107).
“Wa-mā arsalnāka illā raḥmatan li-l-‘ālamīn,
‘‘And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.’’
Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla sent our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم as mercy to all universes. In this month, on the 12th of Rabī’ ul-Awwal his صلى الله عليه وسلم arrival to this world honored this world and brought light to this world.
The arrival of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to this world is a great favour. He جل جلاله was announced as good tidings. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is the being announced as good tidings to other Prophets. With his صلى الله عليه وسلم arrival, universes became honored and found light. Prophets, all universes and everything rejoiced and felt relief when our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم arrived.
This must be the biggest goal of mu’mins. Honoring our Holy Prophet .صلى الله عليه وسلم respecting and loving our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is our greatest duty. It is Fard for every Muslim. It is not a game. Honoring him صلى الله عليه وسلم means honoring Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, not making a partner to Him جل جلاله . On the contrary, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla honors him .صلى الله عليه وسلم
Therefore, the more you honor him .صلى الله عليه وسلم the more you approach Allah جل جلاله You will come closer to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Your station will increase. It is the summary of all knowledge; love to our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, respect to our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, to follow him صلى الله عليه وسلم, to walk on his صلى الله عليه وسلم way. Because the happiness of people, happiness in their bodies comes with this, nothing else.
Some people think non-Muslims are lucky. They leave their home countries and go to other countries to live, as they think it is better there worldly wise. Whereas many people put themselves in danger because of this attempt to find peace, to be happier. They leave their home countries and live there. That is not a smart thing. But as long as it is meant for them, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla creates a reason and people go there.
But people who actually want to be happy should increase their love towards our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. They should love him so that they don't need anything else. Nothing else will be necessary then. When there is true love and real respect to our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam, everything will be easy for them. And everything will be under their order.
May Allāh جل جلاله give all of us this love, for it is the most valuable thing as we said. May He جل جلالهmake us among the ones who know its value. It is a great favour for people who are Muslim and on this way. Those who are Muslim but don't know this way are unlucky. They are unhappy. Because to honor our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam - some people who say they are Muslim but who don't honor him صلى الله عليه وسلم have zero ’īmān; nothing else.
Because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla said Lā ilāha illā Llāh Muḥammadun RasūluLlāh, not just Lā ilāha illā Llāh. We see now that in some places they write only Lā ilāha illā Llāh. Write Muḥammadun RasūluLlāh or don’t write it, Allāh has written it. He جل جلاله wrote it on the Throne. Whatever you do, you only harm yourself when you don't respect him صلى الله عليه وسلم. When you respect him صلى الله عليه وسلم, you are respected and in profit.
May Allāh جل جلاله let that love, the love towards him صلى الله عليه وسلم increase the most in all of our hearts inshā’Allāh. Because it is his جل جلاله order. It is the order of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
May Allāh جل جلاله bless this holy month to all of us. May it be the means of goodness insha’Allah.

Old Time People More Knowledgeable
Ṣuḥbah of the 2nd of October, 2022.
As-Salāmu ‘alaykum wa-raḥmatu Llāhi wa-barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Aṣ-ṣalātu wa-s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-awwalīna wa-l-ākhirīn. Madad yā Rasūla Llāh, madad yā Sādātī Aṣḥābi Rasūli Llāh, madad yā Mashāyikhanā, dastūr Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistānī, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatuna ṣ-ṣuḥbah, wa-l-khayru fi l-jam’iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. “Wa-Llāhu ‘alá kulli shay’in qadīr” (3:189). Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is powerful over everything. Everything is in His جل جلاله power. Nothing is difficult for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh جل جلاله does everything. Allāh جل جلاله created everything. Our grandfathers say the mind cannot comprehend the work of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Out of their adab (good manners), they say they cannot comprehend what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla does. And they would never even approach His جل جلاله essence. Not out of of adab, but because of danger. Old time people...
People of the present time think people of old times were stupid and mindless. There was nothing then, no universities, no schools. They think those people didn’t know anything. And they claim they know now. There are universities. They say, “I graduated from three to five universities.” And it is obligatory to send children to school. It wasn’t so in old times. Who could, studied. Who couldn’t, it was okay. But now it is mandatory. Some people say, in some countries, you can go to jail for it. In others, you must pay a fine. And are they learning anything? No. What they teach is ignorance. Nothing else. People of old times were a thousand times cleverer than them, a thousand times more knowledgeable.
Knowledge is to obey the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla; to know your limits. If everyone knows their limits, there will not be any problems. But everyone has exceeded their limits. They have crossed a line with other people. They have meddled in the affairs of others. Whereas people of old times questioned themselves. They thought about the good and the bad, and lived with respect and honour. They lived with love towards each other. But people of the present time don’t have this at all. The more they claim to learn something, the more they fall into ingnorance and unawareness. Learning is not knowledge. Living is knowledge. Knowledge is to live like a human. People of times past lived like humans. What people of the present time have is enmity, jealousy and competition between each other. This is what they are taught.
Therefore, as we said, they don’t look at the power of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They look to see what is and what is not. Whereas if they look into the universe created by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla – insects, animals, people and jinn – they cannot comprehend how these work. How can you understand things planned by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla? Therefore, we can learn only a part of it through the prophets. And they teach as much as Allāh جل جلاله allows them to.
Therefore, old time people, and people who walk on their ways, know something. They believe in something. It is qiyāmah, ākhirah, the end of times. Shukr to Allāh جل جلاله, we are living in the end of times. It is near. There will be salvation for humanity after this. People have no other solution. They have tried everything. But none of it has been useful to them. They must turn to Allah ,جل جلاله in order to see any benefit. They must obey the will of Allāh جل جلاله
You may deny it as much as you want. Truth won’t change by your reluctance to accept it. Therefore, who is clever obeys Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Many people don’t obey Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They obey shayṭān. And they are devastated, in a devastating situation. May Allāh ,جل جلاله protect all of us.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. “Wa-huwa ‘alá kulli shay’in qadīr” (5:120). This is āyah from Qur’ān verses. Saying, everything... meaning Allāh جل جلاله able to do everything. This is, I don’t know, it’s maybe not perfect translation. But Allāh جل جلاله, He جل جلاله make everything. Everything. So, no, nothing difficult for Allāh جل جلاله. Nothing. You cannot say this. [It] is from His جل جلاله attribute to be Qudrat, Qadīr. From His جل جلاله attribute, He جل جلاله can do everything. Nothing impossible for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
So, we are living in a time, this people, they thought they are clever, they are more clever than before generation, or fifty year generation or hundred year generation before. They thought they are more clever, more intelligent, more knowledgeable because they have school, they have high school, university... Even, if you don’t send your children to school, they punish you. Even, they put in jail or give penalty. And they thought they are better than this old time people; they are ignorant, they are not clever. Now, thousands of years people living in this earth, and when only since maybe fifty or sixty years, people know to learn to live. How they was without school, without university, without anything? They was living and they was happy, and they was doing every good thing. And they have good knowledge, everything. But you said, “No they don’t, they are not clever people. Now, we make better. We have everything free for people. These people, they were living in ignorance. They were miserable, they were unhappy.” No, they were better than us. They were living better life because they have knowledge.
Because these people, who were not happy with old people, [the] more they open university, [the] more they open school, make people to study, to force people to do this – they become more ignorant. Not become more clever, more intelligent. They become more ignorant. What is this ignorance? Ignorance: to deny the Creator جل جلاله, and not do what He جل جلاله create human being, with their character, whether for men how to be, for woman how to be. Everything, He جل جلاله create attribute. And everything with body, He جل جلاله create also soul, and what can, must do. But, this people, they are ignorant, they are not accept this and they destroy human being. As they destroy with nature, they destroy everything in this world. Now also, they try to destroy human being. To bring another kind of thing.
For this we saying, old people they was more knowledgeable. Because, they have, they know everything from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He جل جلاله create everything and He جل جلاله able to do everything. But this people, they not accept this. But, no problem. They cannot – If they accept, not accept, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla not changing. Not... He جل جلاله is still as He جل جلاله was. For this, old people, they was not thinking about Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, His جل جلاله exact. But, only thinking about His جل جلاله attribute, and what He جل جلاله create, what He جل جلاله done. From whole this universe, He جل جلاله created. Not coming to this: “Who is? What is? How this?” This is – They know, because they are clever, this is very important: don’t come to this area, you will be finished. Very dangerous area, this. These people, they know this. They was quickly, if anything coming to themself, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, “Say, lā ilāha illā Llāh Muḥammadur Rasūla Llāh, ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.” So, this people, they was doing this. And they was safe, their belief, their īmān.
But now, this shayṭān people – All this teaching about to deny, not to accept. Allāh جل جلاله destroy them, this shayṭān army, dajjāl army. Antichrist army, these people. In shā’a Llāh, we believe with everything. Allāh جل جلاله He جل جلاله know what He جل جلاله done, and we are only astonishing for what will happen. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He جل جلاله give news for people through his messengers, the prophets. And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying about this time. And after this time, it will be time of happiness. Whole world it will be believer. Not one non-believer it will be. After this also, the Day of Resurrection, and, in shā’a Llāh, jannah. For paradise, or for hell.
In shā’a Llāh, Allāh جل جلاله make us from paradise people. Allāh جل جلاله keep us, keep whole human being to be accept this and to save themselves, in shā’a Llāh.

Come to Be Honoured
Ṣuḥbah of the 1st of October, 2022.
As-Salāmu ‘alaykum wa-raḥmatu Llāhi wa-barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Aṣ-ṣalātu wa-s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-awwalīna wa-l-ākhirīn. Madad yā Rasūla Llāh, madad yā Sādātī Aṣḥābi Rasūli Llāh, madad yā Mashāyikhanā, dastūr Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistānī, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatuna ṣ-ṣuḥbah, wa-l-khayru fi l-jam’iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
“Inna l-‘izzata liLlāhi jamī‘an” (10:65), says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Dignity and honour are for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Those who are with Allāh جل جلاله attain dignity and honour. Every day during fajr prayer, in the du‘ā’ of qunūt, we recite: “Innahu lā yadhillu man wālayt wa-lā ya‘izzu man ‘ādayt.” Whoever is with You جل جلاله will not be disgraced. And whoever is with Your جل جلاله enemy will not achieve greatness. Greatness is for believers, for mu’minīn, for people who are on the way of Allāh جل جلاله. Dignity and honour are for them.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. “Wa-lā tahinū wa-lā taḥzanū wa-antumu l-a‘lawna in kuntum mu’minīn” (3:139). Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Do not be upset. Do not be sad. You are on the highest level. You are on top.” Those who are the enemies of Allāh جل جلاله, who don’t accept the way of Allāh جل جلاله, are disgraced. Their worldly rank is nothing. They have no value. To show respect to them attracts the anger of Allāh جل جلاله. Wanting to respect someone for his worldly rank is wrong. It is not suitable for you. It is not acceptable for believers. To show respect to them and feel honoured by them, however high their worldly rank or however much they possess in this world, is not acceptable for Muslims. You can treat them like normal people. But they cannot be given the same honour as Muslims have. That dignity and honour can only be given to those who obey the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, who accept Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and His جل جلاله prophets. But even if the rest are seen as great in this world, as long as they are not on this way, as long as they are not on the way ordered by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, there is no greatness for them.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave greatness only to our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and then to the other prophets. They are the most exalted ones. Their dignity and honour are permanent and everlasting. But as for the people who strive for this world, there is no dignity for them if they are not on the way of Allāh جل جلاله. They are not meant to have it. Those people are only great in the eyes of people who follow their egos and worldly desires. They see themselves as high ranking and important. But it is not so in the presence of Allāh جل جلاله and in the presence of the believers. They have no greatness in the presence of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the other prophets. They make themselves busy for a couple of days and feel important. But then they will understand their uselessness. So, Muslims and mu’minīn living in this world must not be cheated by the ranks and titles of the world. That is not greatness. The further people go away from Allāh جل جلاله, the lower they fall. They will become worthless and honourless. Therefore, Allāh جل جلاله is the greatest. For Him جل جلاله, this world is not how people claim it is.
We see some people have so much money, some people have so much wealth, and so on. And there are people who are very famous in their own countries and around the world. Sometimes people envy them, thinking they are great. They are not great. People who don't know what will happen to them tomorrow, or even the next minute, cannot be great. Those who are with Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla become great. You can admire them and show respect to them. There is no need to respect the rest. No need to respect those who are not on the way of Allāh جل جلاله. You will be misled if you respect them. You will commit a sin in some cases – in most cases.
Because such people, such types, have taken away people’s minds. These people they are respecting are not to be respected at all. They are famous. Let them be famous. Do you have to respect them? It is fine if they are on the way of Allāh جل جلاله. But people who do all kinds of shameful things and all kinds of evil cannot be respected. They are already showing what they are. No need to unmask them. Because this world has come to such a state... In the old days, they used to feel ashamed of their actions. But now they are doing their best to do more wrong, and to show it off to people. And people are even showing respect to them. Why? Because it appeals to their egos. The more it suits their egos, the more they love it. That love is wrong. It is bad love. You must love those whom Allāh جل جلاله loves and whom our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم loves, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh جل جلاله give understanding to people.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. “Inna l-‘izzata liLlāhi jamī‘an” (10:65). Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘aẓīm. In Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, Allāh جل جلاله saying, the most – the honour and glory and every high respect for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla; and for His جل جلاله Messenger, for His جل جلاله prophets; and for believers. This is what Allāh جل جلاله makes honour – for believer. Believers – they are honoured people, and not other. Who not believer, you cannot be... he cannot be honoured. Only believer, who believe and following prophets, all prophets. Most honourable one, Prophet Sayyidunā Muḥammad ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, and all prophets. The most honoured ones in crea[tion] – in this earth, and Allāh جل جلاله give them honour. And with this honour, they are honoured forever. Not like these people who we are living in this time. They giving people – cheated by people. They thought this is honourable people. No. Who not believe, he never, cannot be honourable one.
To be honourable one, there is [some]thing you must obey, you must do to be honoured one. If not, you are not honoured one. And everyday we read, for du‘ā’, for qunūt: “Innahu lā yadhillu man wālayt wa-lā ya‘izzu man ‘ādayt.” Meaning, who Allāh جل جلاله he is enemy for Allāh جل جلاله , he will never be honoured one. Not be at all honoured one. And who with Allāh ,جل جلاله honoured one every time. This is – everyday we read this and we believe in this. So, believer, they are honoured one.
If they are not believer, they are not honoured – but we can be with them, we can deal with them, we can do everything with them. But we are not respect[ing] them, and we are not seeing ourself not honoured. We see ourself honoured one. This honour given by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, not by ourself. This is His جل جلاله word. He جل جلاله said also in Qur’ān, “Wa-lā tahinū wa-lā taḥzanū wa-antumu l-a‘lawna in kuntum mu’minīn” (3:139). Don't be sad. Don't be miserable, don't be afraid. If you are believer, you are higher, He جل جلاله said. In this world, to be higher than others [is] to be a believer. Only with īmān (faith). No different between colour, no different between nations, nor between tongues or language. All this, not important. Like these crazy people, they doing racist: “I am from this race and this from that race...” This is not – no meaning, not honour for people. Honour only to be more near for Allāh جل جلاله, more accepting His جل جلاله order, doing more good thing. To be more believer. This is for human being. Only with this. You can say... say or not say – but you must be sure, if you are believer, you are highest. This is order of Allāh جل جلاله
Other one, if not believer... [if] becoming believer, okay – he is also highest. We are not like this time people, making racist: “You are white, you are brown, you are black, you are yellow,” to make difference. No. This is not justice. Because everybody, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla create them, cannot change. But this, you can change. If you a

everything, He جل جلاله said, "Don't be hopeless." In shā’a Llāh, Allāh جل جلاله help us, in shā’a Llāh.

SPEAK GOOD OR KEEP QUIET
4 October 2022/ 8 Rabih Al awwal 1444 Lefke , Cyprus
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 Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that whoever is to say something, let him say good things. If he won't say good things, he must be quiet. It is better to keep quiet. Speak about good things. To speak good things is carrying out the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And mu’mins, Muslims, those who love our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, people of ṭarīqah, people of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l- Jama’ah and people on the right way carry out this order, shukr to Allāh جل جلاله
It is always carried out. But these days, it is the month of Rabī‘ ul-Awwal, the month of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. We always remember the birth and arrival of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in this month and take this beautiful manifestation upon us. We take our share of the mercy, gaze and reward of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla to ourselves.
This is a good thing to say. It is not good to keep quiet about it. You must not. You must say it because you are saying good things. Who are those who don't say good things? They are the ones who object to it. They say when you read Mawlid, you don't do the good thing, you commit a sin. And they are people who think they are Muslim. How come then?
Which one is saying good and which one is saying bad? People who say the good thing are those who honor our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, who remember his صلى الله عليه وسلم birth, life and biography. Our duty is to remember all the actions of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.They are things that are wājib and farḍ. It is good that we do them .
As our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, we must speak. But when we speak, we must speak well. If you are going to say bad things, keep quiet. Those who object to it should keep quiet. They must keep quiet. What they speak is badness, it is not good.
Therefore, they should know this themselves. It is just a short advice. We don't make it long for them to think well about it. May Allāh جل جلاله give mind and understanding to all.
May people not be confused about Mawlid being bid’ah, Mawlid not being good. On the contrary, we are not celebrating the birthday of a singer for it to be bad. Hāshā min al-huḍrr, la tashbih. It tells us about our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم who is an example for us and tells us about the power and miracles of Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla, about all of that and the miracles. What can it be apart from goodness?
May Allāh جل جلاله let us all attain his صلى الله عليه وسلم intercession insha’Allah.

REAL HAPPINESS IS TO LOVE THE PROPHET صلى الله عليه وسلم
3 October 2022/ 7 Rabih Al awwal 1444 Lefke , Cyprus
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.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
(Qur’ān 21:107).
“Wa-mā arsalnāka illā raḥmatan li-l-‘ālamīn,
‘‘And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.’’
Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla sent our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم as mercy to all universes. In this month, on the 12th of Rabī’ ul-Awwal his صلى الله عليه وسلم arrival to this world honored this world and brought light to this world.
The arrival of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to this world is a great favour. He جل جلاله was announced as good tidings. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is the being announced as good tidings to other Prophets. With his صلى الله عليه وسلم arrival, universes became honored and found light. Prophets, all universes and everything rejoiced and felt relief when our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم arrived.
This must be the biggest goal of mu’mins. Honoring our Holy Prophet .صلى الله عليه وسلم respecting and loving our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is our greatest duty. It is Fard for every Muslim. It is not a game. Honoring him صلى الله عليه وسلم means honoring Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, not making a partner to Him جل جلاله . On the contrary, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla honors him .صلى الله عليه وسلم
Therefore, the more you honor him .صلى الله عليه وسلم the more you approach Allah جل جلاله You will come closer to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Your station will increase. It is the summary of all knowledge; love to our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, respect to our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, to follow him صلى الله عليه وسلم, to walk on his صلى الله عليه وسلم way. Because the happiness of people, happiness in their bodies comes with this, nothing else.
Some people think non-Muslims are lucky. They leave their home countries and go to other countries to live, as they think it is better there worldly wise. Whereas many people put themselves in danger because of this attempt to find peace, to be happier. They leave their home countries and live there. That is not a smart thing. But as long as it is meant for them, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla creates a reason and people go there.
But people who actually want to be happy should increase their love towards our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. They should love him so that they don't need anything else. Nothing else will be necessary then. When there is true love and real respect to our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam, everything will be easy for them. And everything will be under their order.
May Allāh جل جلاله give all of us this love, for it is the most valuable thing as we said. May He جل جلالهmake us among the ones who know its value. It is a great favour for people who are Muslim and on this way. Those who are Muslim but don't know this way are unlucky. They are unhappy. Because to honor our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam - some people who say they are Muslim but who don't honor him صلى الله عليه وسلم have zero ’īmān; nothing else.
Because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla said Lā ilāha illā Llāh Muḥammadun RasūluLlāh, not just Lā ilāha illā Llāh. We see now that in some places they write only Lā ilāha illā Llāh. Write Muḥammadun RasūluLlāh or don’t write it, Allāh has written it. He جل جلاله wrote it on the Throne. Whatever you do, you only harm yourself when you don't respect him صلى الله عليه وسلم. When you respect him صلى الله عليه وسلم, you are respected and in profit.
May Allāh جل جلاله let that love, the love towards him صلى الله عليه وسلم increase the most in all of our hearts inshā’Allāh. Because it is his جل جلاله order. It is the order of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
May Allāh جل جلاله bless this holy month to all of us. May it be the means of goodness insha’Allah.

Old Time People More Knowledgeable
Ṣuḥbah of the 2nd of October, 2022.
As-Salāmu ‘alaykum wa-raḥmatu Llāhi wa-barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Aṣ-ṣalātu wa-s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-awwalīna wa-l-ākhirīn. Madad yā Rasūla Llāh, madad yā Sādātī Aṣḥābi Rasūli Llāh, madad yā Mashāyikhanā, dastūr Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistānī, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatuna ṣ-ṣuḥbah, wa-l-khayru fi l-jam’iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. “Wa-Llāhu ‘alá kulli shay’in qadīr” (3:189). Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is powerful over everything. Everything is in His جل جلاله power. Nothing is difficult for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh جل جلاله does everything. Allāh جل جلاله created everything. Our grandfathers say the mind cannot comprehend the work of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Out of their adab (good manners), they say they cannot comprehend what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla does. And they would never even approach His جل جلاله essence. Not out of of adab, but because of danger. Old time people...
People of the present time think people of old times were stupid and mindless. There was nothing then, no universities, no schools. They think those people didn’t know anything. And they claim they know now. There are universities. They say, “I graduated from three to five universities.” And it is obligatory to send children to school. It wasn’t so in old times. Who could, studied. Who couldn’t, it was okay. But now it is mandatory. Some people say, in some countries, you can go to jail for it. In others, you must pay a fine. And are they learning anything? No. What they teach is ignorance. Nothing else. People of old times were a thousand times cleverer than them, a thousand times more knowledgeable.
Knowledge is to obey the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla; to know your limits. If everyone knows their limits, there will not be any problems. But everyone has exceeded their limits. They have crossed a line with other people. They have meddled in the affairs of others. Whereas people of old times questioned themselves. They thought about the good and the bad, and lived with respect and honour. They lived with love towards each other. But people of the present time don’t have this at all. The more they claim to learn something, the more they fall into ingnorance and unawareness. Learning is not knowledge. Living is knowledge. Knowledge is to live like a human. People of times past lived like humans. What people of the present time have is enmity, jealousy and competition between each other. This is what they are taught.
Therefore, as we said, they don’t look at the power of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They look to see what is and what is not. Whereas if they look into the universe created by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla – insects, animals, people and jinn – they cannot comprehend how these work. How can you understand things planned by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla? Therefore, we can learn only a part of it through the prophets. And they teach as much as Allāh جل جلاله allows them to.
Therefore, old time people, and people who walk on their ways, know something. They believe in something. It is qiyāmah, ākhirah, the end of times. Shukr to Allāh جل جلاله, we are living in the end of times. It is near. There will be salvation for humanity after this. People have no other solution. They have tried everything. But none of it has been useful to them. They must turn to Allah ,جل جلاله in order to see any benefit. They must obey the will of Allāh جل جلاله
You may deny it as much as you want. Truth won’t change by your reluctance to accept it. Therefore, who is clever obeys Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Many people don’t obey Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They obey shayṭān. And they are devastated, in a devastating situation. May Allāh ,جل جلاله protect all of us.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. “Wa-huwa ‘alá kulli shay’in qadīr” (5:120). This is āyah from Qur’ān verses. Saying, everything... meaning Allāh جل جلاله able to do everything. This is, I don’t know, it’s maybe not perfect translation. But Allāh جل جلاله, He جل جلاله make everything. Everything. So, no, nothing difficult for Allāh جل جلاله. Nothing. You cannot say this. [It] is from His جل جلاله attribute to be Qudrat, Qadīr. From His جل جلاله attribute, He جل جلاله can do everything. Nothing impossible for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
So, we are living in a time, this people, they thought they are clever, they are more clever than before generation, or fifty year generation or hundred year generation before. They thought they are more clever, more intelligent, more knowledgeable because they have school, they have high school, university... Even, if you don’t send your children to school, they punish you. Even, they put in jail or give penalty. And they thought they are better than this old time people; they are ignorant, they are not clever. Now, thousands of years people living in this earth, and when only since maybe fifty or sixty years, people know to learn to live. How they was without school, without university, without anything? They was living and they was happy, and they was doing every good thing. And they have good knowledge, everything. But you said, “No they don’t, they are not clever people. Now, we make better. We have everything free for people. These people, they were living in ignorance. They were miserable, they were unhappy.” No, they were better than us. They were living better life because they have knowledge.
Because these people, who were not happy with old people, [the] more they open university, [the] more they open school, make people to study, to force people to do this – they become more ignorant. Not become more clever, more intelligent. They become more ignorant. What is this ignorance? Ignorance: to deny the Creator جل جلاله, and not do what He جل جلاله create human being, with their character, whether for men how to be, for woman how to be. Everything, He جل جلاله create attribute. And everything with body, He جل جلاله create also soul, and what can, must do. But, this people, they are ignorant, they are not accept this and they destroy human being. As they destroy with nature, they destroy everything in this world. Now also, they try to destroy human being. To bring another kind of thing.
For this we saying, old people they was more knowledgeable. Because, they have, they know everything from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He جل جلاله create everything and He جل جلاله able to do everything. But this people, they not accept this. But, no problem. They cannot – If they accept, not accept, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla not changing. Not... He جل جلاله is still as He جل جلاله was. For this, old people, they was not thinking about Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, His جل جلاله exact. But, only thinking about His جل جلاله attribute, and what He جل جلاله create, what He جل جلاله done. From whole this universe, He جل جلاله created. Not coming to this: “Who is? What is? How this?” This is – They know, because they are clever, this is very important: don’t come to this area, you will be finished. Very dangerous area, this. These people, they know this. They was quickly, if anything coming to themself, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, “Say, lā ilāha illā Llāh Muḥammadur Rasūla Llāh, ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.” So, this people, they was doing this. And they was safe, their belief, their īmān.
But now, this shayṭān people – All this teaching about to deny, not to accept. Allāh جل جلاله destroy them, this shayṭān army, dajjāl army. Antichrist army, these people. In shā’a Llāh, we believe with everything. Allāh جل جلاله He جل جلاله know what He جل جلاله done, and we are only astonishing for what will happen. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, He جل جلاله give news for people through his messengers, the prophets. And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying about this time. And after this time, it will be time of happiness. Whole world it will be believer. Not one non-believer it will be. After this also, the Day of Resurrection, and, in shā’a Llāh, jannah. For paradise, or for hell.
In shā’a Llāh, Allāh جل جلاله make us from paradise people. Allāh جل جلاله keep us, keep whole human being to be accept this and to save themselves, in shā’a Llāh.

Come to Be Honoured
Ṣuḥbah of the 1st of October, 2022.
As-Salāmu ‘alaykum wa-raḥmatu Llāhi wa-barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Aṣ-ṣalātu wa-s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-awwalīna wa-l-ākhirīn. Madad yā Rasūla Llāh, madad yā Sādātī Aṣḥābi Rasūli Llāh, madad yā Mashāyikhanā, dastūr Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistānī, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatuna ṣ-ṣuḥbah, wa-l-khayru fi l-jam’iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
“Inna l-‘izzata liLlāhi jamī‘an” (10:65), says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Dignity and honour are for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Those who are with Allāh جل جلاله attain dignity and honour. Every day during fajr prayer, in the du‘ā’ of qunūt, we recite: “Innahu lā yadhillu man wālayt wa-lā ya‘izzu man ‘ādayt.” Whoever is with You جل جلاله will not be disgraced. And whoever is with Your جل جلاله enemy will not achieve greatness. Greatness is for believers, for mu’minīn, for people who are on the way of Allāh جل جلاله. Dignity and honour are for them.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. “Wa-lā tahinū wa-lā taḥzanū wa-antumu l-a‘lawna in kuntum mu’minīn” (3:139). Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Do not be upset. Do not be sad. You are on the highest level. You are on top.” Those who are the enemies of Allāh جل جلاله, who don’t accept the way of Allāh جل جلاله, are disgraced. Their worldly rank is nothing. They have no value. To show respect to them attracts the anger of Allāh جل جلاله. Wanting to respect someone for his worldly rank is wrong. It is not suitable for you. It is not acceptable for believers. To show respect to them and feel honoured by them, however high their worldly rank or however much they possess in this world, is not acceptable for Muslims. You can treat them like normal people. But they cannot be given the same honour as Muslims have. That dignity and honour can only be given to those who obey the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, who accept Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and His جل جلاله prophets. But even if the rest are seen as great in this world, as long as they are not on this way, as long as they are not on the way ordered by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, there is no greatness for them.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave greatness only to our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and then to the other prophets. They are the most exalted ones. Their dignity and honour are permanent and everlasting. But as for the people who strive for this world, there is no dignity for them if they are not on the way of Allāh جل جلاله. They are not meant to have it. Those people are only great in the eyes of people who follow their egos and worldly desires. They see themselves as high ranking and important. But it is not so in the presence of Allāh جل جلاله and in the presence of the believers. They have no greatness in the presence of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the other prophets. They make themselves busy for a couple of days and feel important. But then they will understand their uselessness. So, Muslims and mu’minīn living in this world must not be cheated by the ranks and titles of the world. That is not greatness. The further people go away from Allāh جل جلاله, the lower they fall. They will become worthless and honourless. Therefore, Allāh جل جلاله is the greatest. For Him جل جلاله, this world is not how people claim it is.
We see some people have so much money, some people have so much wealth, and so on. And there are people who are very famous in their own countries and around the world. Sometimes people envy them, thinking they are great. They are not great. People who don't know what will happen to them tomorrow, or even the next minute, cannot be great. Those who are with Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla become great. You can admire them and show respect to them. There is no need to respect the rest. No need to respect those who are not on the way of Allāh جل جلاله. You will be misled if you respect them. You will commit a sin in some cases – in most cases.
Because such people, such types, have taken away people’s minds. These people they are respecting are not to be respected at all. They are famous. Let them be famous. Do you have to respect them? It is fine if they are on the way of Allāh جل جلاله. But people who do all kinds of shameful things and all kinds of evil cannot be respected. They are already showing what they are. No need to unmask them. Because this world has come to such a state... In the old days, they used to feel ashamed of their actions. But now they are doing their best to do more wrong, and to show it off to people. And people are even showing respect to them. Why? Because it appeals to their egos. The more it suits their egos, the more they love it. That love is wrong. It is bad love. You must love those whom Allāh جل جلاله loves and whom our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم loves, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh جل جلاله give understanding to people.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. “Inna l-‘izzata liLlāhi jamī‘an” (10:65). Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘aẓīm. In Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, Allāh جل جلاله saying, the most – the honour and glory and every high respect for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla; and for His جل جلاله Messenger, for His جل جلاله prophets; and for believers. This is what Allāh جل جلاله makes honour – for believer. Believers – they are honoured people, and not other. Who not believer, you cannot be... he cannot be honoured. Only believer, who believe and following prophets, all prophets. Most honourable one, Prophet Sayyidunā Muḥammad ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, and all prophets. The most honoured ones in crea[tion] – in this earth, and Allāh جل جلاله give them honour. And with this honour, they are honoured forever. Not like these people who we are living in this time. They giving people – cheated by people. They thought this is honourable people. No. Who not believe, he never, cannot be honourable one.
To be honourable one, there is [some]thing you must obey, you must do to be honoured one. If not, you are not honoured one. And everyday we read, for du‘ā’, for qunūt: “Innahu lā yadhillu man wālayt wa-lā ya‘izzu man ‘ādayt.” Meaning, who Allāh جل جلاله he is enemy for Allāh جل جلاله , he will never be honoured one. Not be at all honoured one. And who with Allāh ,جل جلاله honoured one every time. This is – everyday we read this and we believe in this. So, believer, they are honoured one.
If they are not believer, they are not honoured – but we can be with them, we can deal with them, we can do everything with them. But we are not respect[ing] them, and we are not seeing ourself not honoured. We see ourself honoured one. This honour given by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, not by ourself. This is His جل جلاله word. He جل جلاله said also in Qur’ān, “Wa-lā tahinū wa-lā taḥzanū wa-antumu l-a‘lawna in kuntum mu’minīn” (3:139). Don't be sad. Don't be miserable, don't be afraid. If you are believer, you are higher, He جل جلاله said. In this world, to be higher than others [is] to be a believer. Only with īmān (faith). No different between colour, no different between nations, nor between tongues or language. All this, not important. Like these crazy people, they doing racist: “I am from this race and this from that race...” This is not – no meaning, not honour for people. Honour only to be more near for Allāh جل جلاله, more accepting His جل جلاله order, doing more good thing. To be more believer. This is for human being. Only with this. You can say... say or not say – but you must be sure, if you are believer, you are highest. This is order of Allāh جل جلاله
Other one, if not believer... [if] becoming believer, okay – he is also highest. We are not like this time people, making racist: “You are white, you are brown, you are black, you are yellow,” to make difference. No. This is not justice. Because everybody, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla create them, cannot change. But this, you can change. If you a
