THE BEAUTY OF FOLLOWING HIS جل جلاله ORDERS

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.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created mankind in the most perfect way. Therefore, He جل جلاله gave them the attributes He جل جلاله wanted. Mankind is the highest creature among all creatures when they go according to the way and order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. If they don’t go according to it, they are the lowest of creatures.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave mankind various things that other creatures do not have. The most important, He جل جلاله gave mind and thought. But when mankind doesn’t go on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, there is no benefit. Because this world remains in this world. When you don’t do anything for Akhirah, whatever you do for Dunya will remain in Dunya, and nothing will follow you from here. But when you do for Akhirah, you will have it in Akhirah. You can strive and work as much as you want here, unless you think about Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, you do it for your ego.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent all Prophets and told them all the orders. And Prophets are saying, “We are not asking for a wage from you. We are not asking for anything.
Remember Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and carry out the orders of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla”. Do this while dealing with your worldly work so that it doesn’t go for nothing and more importantly, before committing a sin. If you committed a sin, repent. When you repent, Allah جل جلاله will turn your sins into Thawab. His جل جلاله forgiveness and mercy are great.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is not asking for any benefit from you in return. Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla doesn’t need us. We need Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. But because of His جل جلاله mercy, do goodness, perform worship, be good people and you will reap its rewards. Who does this in this world, Allah جل جلاله will put beauty in his heart. He جل جلاله will give him beauty inside him and light on his face. And they will earn their Akhirah. Others who don’t go on this way feel distress on the inside. Their work doesn’t go well. They don’t enjoy anything. But their main disappointment and loss will be in Akhirah.
May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May we be the way Allah جل جلاله orders us to be insha’Allah. May Allah جل جلاله forgive us and show mercy to us insha’Allah. Because everything is in His جل جلاله hands.
May Allah جل جلاله make us steadfast on this way.

THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF IMAN
14 November 2022/ 20 Rabih al-Thani 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.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَآ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَنَا
(Qur’ān 09:51).
‘‘Qul lan yuṣībanā illa mā kataba Llāhu lana’’
Say: “Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us.’’
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying that to our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan. Whatever is going to happen to us is written in the presence of Allah جل جلاله. Nothing else will happen to us. Therefore, if Allah جل جلاله has destined something, that will happen.
The highest level of Iman is submission. Everything comes from Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla. Accepting that and submitting yourself to His جل جلاله will is the highest level of Iman. To believe in that is Iman. Therefore, many people are faithless. They don’t have Iman. Because they think, “If only we did it another way, that would happen and we would be saved. We would be in profit. It would bring us great benefit” and keep struggling. Their struggle is also by the will of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. But we must know that whatever Allah .جل جلاله says happens, nothing else. A person who believes in that and knows that is a relaxed person. He doesn’t say “if only” for everything. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says that if people said “if only”, they will be perished. Who says “If only this or that happened” for things that are not good just speaks in vain, says our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
What believers must do for their hearts to be in peace is to say: “Everything comes from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla”. An accident happened, something bad or good happened; all of them are by the will of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Nothing happens outside His جل جلاله will. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has written that, so it will happen.
Therefore, believers don’t get upset for this world. They may ask more for their Akhirah and work more for it. It is ok to say, “If only I didn’t waste so much time”. But it is unnecessary to say, “If only I did this job instead of that”. But when they say otherwise, “If only I did more goodness. If only I worshipped more”, Allah جل جلاله certainly gives reward and Thawab for that. He جل جلاله doesn’t leave it in vain. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives according to the intentions of people. And if they repent for sins they committed, that is changed into Thawab.
It is said in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan:
يُبَدِّلُ ٱللَّهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ حَسَنَـٰتٍ
“Yubaddilu Llāhu sayyiātihim ḥasanāt”,
“For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good.” (Qur’an 25:70).
This is the word and saying of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. If people regret and repent, there is benefit in it. But if they say, “If only I did more badness”, there is no benefit in it then.
May Allah جل جلاله give all of us this knowledge and belief. May He جل جلاله give Iman to all of us. If He جل جلاله gives us Iman, we will be at rest. We won’t be worried about this world.
People of old times used to cry and whine when they couldn’t worship or do something good. But our people now don’t have such a worry, they only have Dunya. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.

THE ISLAMIC WORLD’S FIRST POWER
13 November 2022/ 19 Rabih al-Thani 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.
The matter of Tariqah is the first power in the Islamic world, Shukr to Allah جل جلاله. The Barakah of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is upon Muslims even though hundreds of years have passed. This way is his صلى الله عليه وسلم way, the way that leads to him صلى الله عليه وسلم. When in Tariqah, a person is connected to our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. He attains the pleasure of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
It is because we need spiritual power. It doesn’t come only through books or Jama’ah. All Awliya, Sultans and people who serve Islam have followed this way and were connected to it. None of them have ever been the means for tricks. And who were outside it strived against Islam, they didn’t help it. Because when you are not connected to it, you are connected to somewhere else.
It is so now and in every time. Therefore, the enemy of shaytan is Tariqah.
Tariqah is the guard of Islam. Tariqah and Shari’ah are together, not separate. They say, “We are following Shari’ah. There is no Tariqah. It is useless”. Of course, because they want to destroy the first castle and then the rest. With the permission of Allah جل جلاله, it won’t be destroyed. Until Qiyamah, until Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam and after him, it will be there with the permission of Allah جل جلاله. When Qiyamah is near, the souls of Mu’mins will be captured, and it will burst on the heads of Kafirs. Qiyamah will take place. Therefore, they won’t be able to remove Tariqah before that time Allah جل جلاله willing. They will be gone and Tariqah will stay. Their true faces will be revealed.
Tariqah is always on the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم , with the permission of Allah .جل جلاله . Whoever follows it will be saved. Who doesn’t follow it has doubt in his Iman. Because there are many Hadiths of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم which start by saying :
لاَ يُو مِنُ اَحَدُكُمْ
“None of you believes”. Iman is important. Without Iman, there is Islam. But when Iman is not perfect, it is weak.
Therefore, Tariqah is an absolutely necessary thing for people, for Muslims. Shaytan knows that. Shaytan and his followers say, “We are Muslim. We look up in Qur’an. We read from Qur’an”. And they don’t accept Hadiths anymore. They are out of the way completely. May Allah جل جلاله give guidance to all of them.
We wish goodness to people and Muslims, nothing else. May Allah جل جلاله give them guidance. May they see the right way. At least, may they not harm Muslims and not speak badly to Muslims. If you don’t like it, at least stay quiet. Allah Azza wa Jalla will forgive you insha’Allah. But if you speak badly, it will return to you with the permission of Allah جل جلاله. Those who are with Allah جل جلاله will be saved. Nothing will happen to them.
May Allah جل جلاله give steadfastness to all of us on this way. And may He جل جلاله give guidance to them.

DON’T ARGUE WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND

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.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
وَلَا تَسُبُّوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَسُبُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَدْوًۢا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ
(Qur’ān 06:108).
‘‘Wa lā tasubbū l-ladhīna yad’ūna min dūni Llāhi fa’yasubbū Llaha ‘adwan bighayri ‘ilm’’
‘‘And do not insult those they invoke other than Allah, lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge.’’
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying not to swear at those who worship and honor other than Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and their beloved ones because they will start swearing at Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla then. Therefore, there is no need to argue and fight with them. He جل جلاله says: بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ “ bighayri‘ilm”, “without knowledge”(Qur’ān06:108).
They will swear at Allah Azza wa-Jalla without knowing and will commit more sin.
People may be doing useless things sometimes thinking that they are doing something good. But they do wrong instead of the right, and they lead people to committing sins. Allah جل جلاله knows what happens to them afterwards. Because of their actions, they will regret it. That is why from the Adab of Islam – Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to people to teach Adab and to teach good behavior. Therefore, no need to fight with people all the time.
There are some subjects. You must look if a person knows it. If he doesn’t know, do not go into important issues. No need to argue on the issues of religion and politics with such people. Turn the argument towards useless worldly matters like football and so on. Turn it immediately to that. Because many people think they are knowledgeable. They start criticizing “Why this happened so? Why that happened so?” And they start interfering in the business of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Therefore, in order for them not to be involved in a sin, close that subject immediately. Directly shift to football, the most important issue for people nowadays.
Football is the number one issue in the world. Shift to that. Talk about the matters of football. That is the important topic for them. According to the thinking of those people, that is the most important topic. They will directly forget about the matter of faith and religion. They will forget about interfering in business of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and they will start talking about that.
Therefore, in order for people not to make a sin – as we said, you can talk to people who understand. If you talk to people who don’t understand, you will have not understood yourself. Your mind is as much as theirs then. A person who respects and loves Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is clever. Who is not clever, who doesn’t respect them interferes in other things and judges, “If this was like this, and that was like that.”
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everything. Everything has its wisdom. And He جل جلاله knows His جل جلاله own wisdom. Mu’mins and Muslims don’t interfere in the business of Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla. Shaytan interferes. Shaytan drops it to people “Why are so many people dying? Why is there so much famine?” This is Dunya. It must be so. This is the business of Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla. There is wisdom in everything. May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May He جل جلاله not let us think about and interfere in the business of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla insha’Allah. May we not think of that.
As we said, it is not good even to think of it, but these people start immediately. Mostly, non-Muslims and people without Iman interfere in these issues. And this has become a trend. Our people who think they are clever want to interfere in it too.
Therefore, when these topics are open, directly close them down. And the best way to shut it, as we said, is to talk about football.
Everything has its wisdom. We’ve been thinking that football is a useless thing for years. Whereas it is an important thing. It directly turns people to Dunya and prevents them from sinning. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
We don’t understand anything in football. Something we understand is that all people love football. We understand only that and nothing else in football. This one hit, that one kicked; we don’t understand that, Shukr to Allah جل جلاله.
May Allah جل جلاله give mind and understanding to people.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
There are recited Qur’an Khatms from all over the world. Shukr to Allah جل جلاله our brothers are sending them. There are Qur’an Khatms, Yasins, Surahs and Ayat, Tasbihat, Tahlilat and Salawat.
We dedicate all of them firstly to our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, to the souls of all Anbiya, Asfiya, Awliya and Mashayikh, to the souls of all our late relatives, all Mu’mins and Muslims.
With the intention of goodness to come and evil to be gone. With the intention of there being strength to our Iman.

BROTHERHOOD IN ISLAM

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا۟ بَيْنَ
(Qur’ān 49:10)
‘‘Innama l-mu’minūna ikhwa fa-‘aslihu bayna akhawaykum’’
‘’The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers.’’
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says believers are brothers. Make settlement between brothers and reconcile them.
Brotherhood by Islam is stronger than brotherhood by blood. Because they are people who were made brothers by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They can become brothers later. And blood brotherhood is there anyway. But when he is not on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla, a brother on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is closer to you than him. The one who is closer to Allah جل جلاله must be closer to you. If he is away from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, you should be away from him too. Certainly, giving them advice and treating them well is also necessary for them to find the way.
As we live in the end of times, many people lose themselves in Dunya. The world in this time is such that ego can do everything it wants. In order to control your ego, we should listen to advice and we should accept the advice. There were no such opportunities in old times to commit sins. Now, it is very available and very easy to sin.
Therefore, brothers should support each other. When they see something wrong, they should do whatever they can in order to prevent it. And the biggest thing is, people come here sometimes and say, “Our brother is taking bad things and going on the bad way. What shall we do?” What you must do is prevent him. And preventing is by not giving him money if that’s in your hands. It is done without money as well, but with money, some people do it more often. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
A brother must protect a brother from both evil and Haram. May Allah جل جلاله help all of us. Our time, as we said, is difficult for doing goodness. And we are in time when it is easy to do evil. Allah جل جلاله is giving rewards accordingly. A man who controls his ego and prevents it from Haram and evil attains great Thawab, virtues and stations.
Therefore, we must always listen to advice. Because if the ego doesn’t listen to advice, it will get out of control completely. Advice ties people up a little. May Allah جل جلاله protect all of us from the evil and Fitnah of the end of times. May He جل جلاله grant us its virtues.
Whoever captures his ego; as we said, there are great virtues. But there are great dangers as well. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.

THE CAUSE OF ALL HARDSHIP

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِى فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ أَعْمَىٰ
(Qur’ān 20:124).
‘’Wa Man ‘A’rada an Dhikrī Fa inna Lahu Ma’īshatan Dankāan wa Nahshuruhu Yawma l-Qiyāmati ‘A’ma’’
‘’And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind’’, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
He جل جلاله is describing the state we have nowadays. Whoever forgets Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and turns away from Allah جل جلاله, Allah جل جلاله will give him all kinds of hardship, and his life will turn into a prison. His life will become terrible, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He will be raised as blind on the Day of Judgment. Because he didn’t see blessings here, he will be raised as blind on Qiyamah. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given him so many blessings here but he didn’t see them. He turned away from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and became His جل جلاله enemy.
Not only here but everywhere we have been to, the whole world is in hardship. In old times, prices would go up double or triple here. But it is the same everywhere all over the world. In Europe, Asia, everywhere we go, people talk about costliness, hardship and difficult life. Where did it come from? Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t give anything for nothing. When mankind rises against Allah جل جلاله, they will never be victorious. The Victor is Allah .جل جلاله
They want to rule the whole world according to their own minds. They make their own laws against the law of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, laws against the human nature. They want to force them upon the whole world. And they are forcing them.
Therefore, these things don’t come without a reason. These things that happen to people, costliness and hardship occur because of people who fight against Allah جل جلاله. And Allah جل جلاله is punishing them with their weakest point that they worship.
There is a physical punishment. And the spiritual one is even worse, but they don’t understand from the spiritual. They think they will take a pill and it will be gone, they will drink heavily and it will be gone. But it is the spiritual one that is the bigger punishment for them.
Therefore, for this costliness and this and that - People must repent to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. People must beg Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to show mercy to them. They should say, “We are not from them.” We must all do this, as His جل جلاله punishment is reaching all of us. The punishment of one sinister person reaches whole country. Someone’s scabies can make the whole country get scabies.
May Allah جل جلاله protect us from their evil. We don’t accept anything of these Kafir people who go against Islam and Allah جل جلاله. They are going against humanity. They are doing things that are not in human nature.
May Allah جل جلاله protect all of us.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
May Allah جل جلاله protect all of us from the evil of our egos. Because even if you do goodness, the ego strives to destroy your goodness. Who doesn’t control his ego oftentimes does bad things while trying to do goodness.
Therefore, it is good for the people of Tariqah and everyone to train their egos. But it is more necessary for the people of Tariqah. People of Tariqah should not be like other people. They have joined a way for the training of their egos and to be better. They have joined this way to be closer to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They should pay attention to it.
If normal people control their egos too, they will be more relaxed. It will be better for them. Because the ego doesn’t know anything other than badness. It is easy to do badness. That is why the ego leans towards badness. Doing goodness is difficult; it is difficult for the ego.
Shaytan, Nafs/ego, Dunya, Hawa/desires. Grandsheikh Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah al-Faiz ad-Daghestani used to say that there are four enemies: Nafs/ego, Hawa/desires, Dunya, Shaytan. They show

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created mankind in the most perfect way. Therefore, He جل جلاله gave them the attributes He جل جلاله wanted. Mankind is the highest creature among all creatures when they go according to the way and order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. If they don’t go according to it, they are the lowest of creatures.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave mankind various things that other creatures do not have. The most important, He جل جلاله gave mind and thought. But when mankind doesn’t go on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, there is no benefit. Because this world remains in this world. When you don’t do anything for Akhirah, whatever you do for Dunya will remain in Dunya, and nothing will follow you from here. But when you do for Akhirah, you will have it in Akhirah. You can strive and work as much as you want here, unless you think about Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, you do it for your ego.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent all Prophets and told them all the orders. And Prophets are saying, “We are not asking for a wage from you. We are not asking for anything.
Remember Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and carry out the orders of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla”. Do this while dealing with your worldly work so that it doesn’t go for nothing and more importantly, before committing a sin. If you committed a sin, repent. When you repent, Allah جل جلاله will turn your sins into Thawab. His جل جلاله forgiveness and mercy are great.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is not asking for any benefit from you in return. Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla doesn’t need us. We need Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. But because of His جل جلاله mercy, do goodness, perform worship, be good people and you will reap its rewards. Who does this in this world, Allah جل جلاله will put beauty in his heart. He جل جلاله will give him beauty inside him and light on his face. And they will earn their Akhirah. Others who don’t go on this way feel distress on the inside. Their work doesn’t go well. They don’t enjoy anything. But their main disappointment and loss will be in Akhirah.
May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May we be the way Allah جل جلاله orders us to be insha’Allah. May Allah جل جلاله forgive us and show mercy to us insha’Allah. Because everything is in His جل جلاله hands.
May Allah جل جلاله make us steadfast on this way.

THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF IMAN
14 November 2022/ 20 Rabih al-Thani 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَآ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَنَا
(Qur’ān 09:51).
‘‘Qul lan yuṣībanā illa mā kataba Llāhu lana’’
Say: “Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us.’’
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying that to our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan. Whatever is going to happen to us is written in the presence of Allah جل جلاله. Nothing else will happen to us. Therefore, if Allah جل جلاله has destined something, that will happen.
The highest level of Iman is submission. Everything comes from Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla. Accepting that and submitting yourself to His جل جلاله will is the highest level of Iman. To believe in that is Iman. Therefore, many people are faithless. They don’t have Iman. Because they think, “If only we did it another way, that would happen and we would be saved. We would be in profit. It would bring us great benefit” and keep struggling. Their struggle is also by the will of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. But we must know that whatever Allah .جل جلاله says happens, nothing else. A person who believes in that and knows that is a relaxed person. He doesn’t say “if only” for everything. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says that if people said “if only”, they will be perished. Who says “If only this or that happened” for things that are not good just speaks in vain, says our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
What believers must do for their hearts to be in peace is to say: “Everything comes from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla”. An accident happened, something bad or good happened; all of them are by the will of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Nothing happens outside His جل جلاله will. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has written that, so it will happen.
Therefore, believers don’t get upset for this world. They may ask more for their Akhirah and work more for it. It is ok to say, “If only I didn’t waste so much time”. But it is unnecessary to say, “If only I did this job instead of that”. But when they say otherwise, “If only I did more goodness. If only I worshipped more”, Allah جل جلاله certainly gives reward and Thawab for that. He جل جلاله doesn’t leave it in vain. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives according to the intentions of people. And if they repent for sins they committed, that is changed into Thawab.
It is said in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan:
يُبَدِّلُ ٱللَّهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ حَسَنَـٰتٍ
“Yubaddilu Llāhu sayyiātihim ḥasanāt”,
“For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good.” (Qur’an 25:70).
This is the word and saying of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. If people regret and repent, there is benefit in it. But if they say, “If only I did more badness”, there is no benefit in it then.
May Allah جل جلاله give all of us this knowledge and belief. May He جل جلاله give Iman to all of us. If He جل جلاله gives us Iman, we will be at rest. We won’t be worried about this world.
People of old times used to cry and whine when they couldn’t worship or do something good. But our people now don’t have such a worry, they only have Dunya. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.

THE ISLAMIC WORLD’S FIRST POWER
13 November 2022/ 19 Rabih al-Thani 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.
The matter of Tariqah is the first power in the Islamic world, Shukr to Allah جل جلاله. The Barakah of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is upon Muslims even though hundreds of years have passed. This way is his صلى الله عليه وسلم way, the way that leads to him صلى الله عليه وسلم. When in Tariqah, a person is connected to our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. He attains the pleasure of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
It is because we need spiritual power. It doesn’t come only through books or Jama’ah. All Awliya, Sultans and people who serve Islam have followed this way and were connected to it. None of them have ever been the means for tricks. And who were outside it strived against Islam, they didn’t help it. Because when you are not connected to it, you are connected to somewhere else.
It is so now and in every time. Therefore, the enemy of shaytan is Tariqah.
Tariqah is the guard of Islam. Tariqah and Shari’ah are together, not separate. They say, “We are following Shari’ah. There is no Tariqah. It is useless”. Of course, because they want to destroy the first castle and then the rest. With the permission of Allah جل جلاله, it won’t be destroyed. Until Qiyamah, until Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam and after him, it will be there with the permission of Allah جل جلاله. When Qiyamah is near, the souls of Mu’mins will be captured, and it will burst on the heads of Kafirs. Qiyamah will take place. Therefore, they won’t be able to remove Tariqah before that time Allah جل جلاله willing. They will be gone and Tariqah will stay. Their true faces will be revealed.
Tariqah is always on the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم , with the permission of Allah .جل جلاله . Whoever follows it will be saved. Who doesn’t follow it has doubt in his Iman. Because there are many Hadiths of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم which start by saying :
لاَ يُو مِنُ اَحَدُكُمْ
“None of you believes”. Iman is important. Without Iman, there is Islam. But when Iman is not perfect, it is weak.
Therefore, Tariqah is an absolutely necessary thing for people, for Muslims. Shaytan knows that. Shaytan and his followers say, “We are Muslim. We look up in Qur’an. We read from Qur’an”. And they don’t accept Hadiths anymore. They are out of the way completely. May Allah جل جلاله give guidance to all of them.
We wish goodness to people and Muslims, nothing else. May Allah جل جلاله give them guidance. May they see the right way. At least, may they not harm Muslims and not speak badly to Muslims. If you don’t like it, at least stay quiet. Allah Azza wa Jalla will forgive you insha’Allah. But if you speak badly, it will return to you with the permission of Allah جل جلاله. Those who are with Allah جل جلاله will be saved. Nothing will happen to them.
May Allah جل جلاله give steadfastness to all of us on this way. And may He جل جلاله give guidance to them.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
وَلَا تَسُبُّوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَسُبُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَدْوًۢا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ
(Qur’ān 06:108).
‘‘Wa lā tasubbū l-ladhīna yad’ūna min dūni Llāhi fa’yasubbū Llaha ‘adwan bighayri ‘ilm’’
‘‘And do not insult those they invoke other than Allah, lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge.’’
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying not to swear at those who worship and honor other than Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and their beloved ones because they will start swearing at Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla then. Therefore, there is no need to argue and fight with them. He جل جلاله says: بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ “ bighayri‘ilm”, “without knowledge”(Qur’ān06:108).
They will swear at Allah Azza wa-Jalla without knowing and will commit more sin.
People may be doing useless things sometimes thinking that they are doing something good. But they do wrong instead of the right, and they lead people to committing sins. Allah جل جلاله knows what happens to them afterwards. Because of their actions, they will regret it. That is why from the Adab of Islam – Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to people to teach Adab and to teach good behavior. Therefore, no need to fight with people all the time.
There are some subjects. You must look if a person knows it. If he doesn’t know, do not go into important issues. No need to argue on the issues of religion and politics with such people. Turn the argument towards useless worldly matters like football and so on. Turn it immediately to that. Because many people think they are knowledgeable. They start criticizing “Why this happened so? Why that happened so?” And they start interfering in the business of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Therefore, in order for them not to be involved in a sin, close that subject immediately. Directly shift to football, the most important issue for people nowadays.
Football is the number one issue in the world. Shift to that. Talk about the matters of football. That is the important topic for them. According to the thinking of those people, that is the most important topic. They will directly forget about the matter of faith and religion. They will forget about interfering in business of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and they will start talking about that.
Therefore, in order for people not to make a sin – as we said, you can talk to people who understand. If you talk to people who don’t understand, you will have not understood yourself. Your mind is as much as theirs then. A person who respects and loves Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is clever. Who is not clever, who doesn’t respect them interferes in other things and judges, “If this was like this, and that was like that.”
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everything. Everything has its wisdom. And He جل جلاله knows His جل جلاله own wisdom. Mu’mins and Muslims don’t interfere in the business of Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla. Shaytan interferes. Shaytan drops it to people “Why are so many people dying? Why is there so much famine?” This is Dunya. It must be so. This is the business of Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla. There is wisdom in everything. May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May He جل جلاله not let us think about and interfere in the business of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla insha’Allah. May we not think of that.
As we said, it is not good even to think of it, but these people start immediately. Mostly, non-Muslims and people without Iman interfere in these issues. And this has become a trend. Our people who think they are clever want to interfere in it too.
Therefore, when these topics are open, directly close them down. And the best way to shut it, as we said, is to talk about football.
Everything has its wisdom. We’ve been thinking that football is a useless thing for years. Whereas it is an important thing. It directly turns people to Dunya and prevents them from sinning. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
We don’t understand anything in football. Something we understand is that all people love football. We understand only that and nothing else in football. This one hit, that one kicked; we don’t understand that, Shukr to Allah جل جلاله.
May Allah جل جلاله give mind and understanding to people.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
There are recited Qur’an Khatms from all over the world. Shukr to Allah جل جلاله our brothers are sending them. There are Qur’an Khatms, Yasins, Surahs and Ayat, Tasbihat, Tahlilat and Salawat.
We dedicate all of them firstly to our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, to the souls of all Anbiya, Asfiya, Awliya and Mashayikh, to the souls of all our late relatives, all Mu’mins and Muslims.
With the intention of goodness to come and evil to be gone. With the intention of there being strength to our Iman.

BROTHERHOOD IN ISLAM

إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا۟ بَيْنَ
(Qur’ān 49:10)
‘‘Innama l-mu’minūna ikhwa fa-‘aslihu bayna akhawaykum’’
‘’The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers.’’
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says believers are brothers. Make settlement between brothers and reconcile them.
Brotherhood by Islam is stronger than brotherhood by blood. Because they are people who were made brothers by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They can become brothers later. And blood brotherhood is there anyway. But when he is not on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa- Jalla, a brother on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is closer to you than him. The one who is closer to Allah جل جلاله must be closer to you. If he is away from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, you should be away from him too. Certainly, giving them advice and treating them well is also necessary for them to find the way.
As we live in the end of times, many people lose themselves in Dunya. The world in this time is such that ego can do everything it wants. In order to control your ego, we should listen to advice and we should accept the advice. There were no such opportunities in old times to commit sins. Now, it is very available and very easy to sin.
Therefore, brothers should support each other. When they see something wrong, they should do whatever they can in order to prevent it. And the biggest thing is, people come here sometimes and say, “Our brother is taking bad things and going on the bad way. What shall we do?” What you must do is prevent him. And preventing is by not giving him money if that’s in your hands. It is done without money as well, but with money, some people do it more often. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.
A brother must protect a brother from both evil and Haram. May Allah جل جلاله help all of us. Our time, as we said, is difficult for doing goodness. And we are in time when it is easy to do evil. Allah جل جلاله is giving rewards accordingly. A man who controls his ego and prevents it from Haram and evil attains great Thawab, virtues and stations.
Therefore, we must always listen to advice. Because if the ego doesn’t listen to advice, it will get out of control completely. Advice ties people up a little. May Allah جل جلاله protect all of us from the evil and Fitnah of the end of times. May He جل جلاله grant us its virtues.
Whoever captures his ego; as we said, there are great virtues. But there are great dangers as well. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.

وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِى فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ أَعْمَىٰ
(Qur’ān 20:124).
‘’Wa Man ‘A’rada an Dhikrī Fa inna Lahu Ma’īshatan Dankāan wa Nahshuruhu Yawma l-Qiyāmati ‘A’ma’’
‘’And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind’’, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
He جل جلاله is describing the state we have nowadays. Whoever forgets Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and turns away from Allah جل جلاله, Allah جل جلاله will give him all kinds of hardship, and his life will turn into a prison. His life will become terrible, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He will be raised as blind on the Day of Judgment. Because he didn’t see blessings here, he will be raised as blind on Qiyamah. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given him so many blessings here but he didn’t see them. He turned away from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and became His جل جلاله enemy.
Not only here but everywhere we have been to, the whole world is in hardship. In old times, prices would go up double or triple here. But it is the same everywhere all over the world. In Europe, Asia, everywhere we go, people talk about costliness, hardship and difficult life. Where did it come from? Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t give anything for nothing. When mankind rises against Allah جل جلاله, they will never be victorious. The Victor is Allah .جل جلاله
They want to rule the whole world according to their own minds. They make their own laws against the law of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, laws against the human nature. They want to force them upon the whole world. And they are forcing them.
Therefore, these things don’t come without a reason. These things that happen to people, costliness and hardship occur because of people who fight against Allah جل جلاله. And Allah جل جلاله is punishing them with their weakest point that they worship.
There is a physical punishment. And the spiritual one is even worse, but they don’t understand from the spiritual. They think they will take a pill and it will be gone, they will drink heavily and it will be gone. But it is the spiritual one that is the bigger punishment for them.
Therefore, for this costliness and this and that - People must repent to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. People must beg Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to show mercy to them. They should say, “We are not from them.” We must all do this, as His جل جلاله punishment is reaching all of us. The punishment of one sinister person reaches whole country. Someone’s scabies can make the whole country get scabies.
May Allah جل جلاله protect us from their evil. We don’t accept anything of these Kafir people who go against Islam and Allah جل جلاله. They are going against humanity. They are doing things that are not in human nature.
May Allah جل جلاله protect all of us.

May Allah جل جلاله protect all of us from the evil of our egos. Because even if you do goodness, the ego strives to destroy your goodness. Who doesn’t control his ego oftentimes does bad things while trying to do goodness.
Therefore, it is good for the people of Tariqah and everyone to train their egos. But it is more necessary for the people of Tariqah. People of Tariqah should not be like other people. They have joined a way for the training of their egos and to be better. They have joined this way to be closer to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They should pay attention to it.
If normal people control their egos too, they will be more relaxed. It will be better for them. Because the ego doesn’t know anything other than badness. It is easy to do badness. That is why the ego leans towards badness. Doing goodness is difficult; it is difficult for the ego.
