with the most beautiful name of Allah جل جلاله who is extremely merciful and extremely beneficent. We cannot have any greater good tidings than that.
Therefore believe in Allah جل جلاله and walk on the way of Allah جل جلاله , worship Allah ,جل جلاله . Mankind will win from this. They won’t win from other things. Those who say they are Muslim tell people who don’t believe in this, “Allah جل جلاله will punish you like this and like that.” Allah جل جلاله does not punish Muslims. We must believe in it. Muslims, people who believe in Allah جل جلاله are always winning here and hereafter with the permission of Allah جل جلاله
May Allah جل جلاله treat us with His جل جلاله Mercy insha’Allah.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave us this beautiful day. Be together in these beautiful times. It is a great blessing, a great favor. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave this Day of Jum’ah to our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. It is the most blessed day of the week. It is the most precious day. This day was given for the honor of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to Islam and Muslims.
There is also an hour of response in this day. When people make Dua in the hour of response, it is accepted and good things happen. But it is not specified when this hour is. So people should remember Allah جل جلاله all the time and make Dua to Allah جل جلاله. The Dua will be accepted insha’Allah, because everything is with Dua. Dua is the weapon.
The weapon of Muslims is Dua. And Friday is the day when Dua is accepted the most. There is an hour in it. When this hour of response comes, the Dua is accepted.
As we said, the Dua is the weapon of Muslims for goodness to come such as Rizq, marriage, children, offsprings and Iman. Include all of them in Dua. Also to be protected from the evil, black magic, Waswasa of the evil shaytan, apparent and hidden accidents. With Dua you can be protected from them.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave us tests. In order to be protected from those tests, the Dua will protect people. Insha’Allah we will catch this holy day and holy hour of response so that our Duas are accepted. Whatever troubles, illnesses and hardship there are, they can be overcome with Dua with the permission of Allah جل جلاله
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla knows our weakness, so He جل جلاله gave us a beautiful thing to be protected. That is the Dua.
May Allah جل جلاله protect us all with Dua. May He جل جلاله give strength to our Iman insha’Allah.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Yasin, Surat and Ayat. They have sent them from all over the world. There are hundreds and thousands of recited Tahlilat, Takbirat, Salawat.
We gift all of them firstly to the great soul of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, to the souls of all Prophets, to the souls of our Mashayikh, to the souls of all of our late relatives.
For our spirituality, with the intention of goodness to come and evil to be gone.

TARIQAH IS NOT FOR PERSONAL INTEREST
01 December 2022/ 07 Jumada al-Awwal 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 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:
إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِى مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ
‘‘Innaka la tahdi man ‘ahbabta wa lakinna Allaha yahdi man yasha’u’’
‘’Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills.’’ (Qur’ān )28:56
He جل جلاله tells our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, “You cannot make those whom you love or want reach guidance”. Allah جل جلاله lets whomever He جل جلاله wants reach guidance. Guidance is from Allah جل جلاله. A person who is given it should make Shukr. He should praise Allah جل جلاله and make Shukr that He جل جلاله gave him this beautiful thing. It is a beautiful gift. It is from Allah جل جلاله
Tariqah is a part of it. Shari’ah and Tariqah – all of them are from Allah جل جلاله to some people. Not for all people. Most people are away from it. They are not in it. Some people say, “I’ve been in Tariqah for so much time. I did so and so.” It means you are not in Tariqah then. If you see it as personal interest, you have not joined it since the beginning. You have not devoted yourself to this way, as you don’t know it. Allah جل جلاله gave it. But you think it is from yourself. And you want something in return.
You can only expect the reward from Allah جل جلاله in return for it. When you do so, your heart, your work, everything will be good. Otherwise, it is for personal interest. When you say, “I’ve been here for so many years. I’ve been there for so many years”, then you have joined it for your personal interest. When there is such an interest, you do it not for Allah جل جلاله but for your own ego. And that has no benefit to you at all. You will have wasted your time in vain. It must be for Allah جل جلاله. You must be sincere. He جل جلاله can give or not give; He does whatever He جل جلاله wants.
When you think, “I am here for so many years”, it means nothing of what you did was right. It was hypocrisy. It was for your personal interest. Because people of Dunya, people of the present time are worse than those of other times. Everything is for their personal interest. They join a party for benefit. They go here for benefit; they go there for benefit. And they think the matters of religion and Tariqah are similarly for personal benefit. There is great benefit. But it is not the worldly benefit, it is the benefit of Akhirah. People must know this and act accordingly. If they come here for personal benefit, for Dunya – there is also worldly benefit in Tariqah, Shukr to Allah جل جلاله. But it is mainly for Akhirah.
Therefore, we don’t keep anyone by force. We don’t take anyone by force. It is the matter of the heart. If Allah جل جلاله put it in one’s heart, he will come. If not, they shouldn’t wait at all. This door is not the door of worldly benefit. It is the door of the benefit of Akhirah with the permission of Allah جل جلاله.
May Allah جل جلاله give us all strong Iman.
May He جل جلاله help us all.
Al-Fatiha.

BE HAPPY FOR OTHERS’ GOODNESS
30 November 2022/ 06 Jumada al-Awwal 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 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:
اَلْمُؤْمِنُ أَخُو اَلْمُؤْمِنِ
“Al-Mu’minu Akhu l-Mu’min.” [Hadith].
Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam says that a believer is a believer’s brother. He should ask for goodness for them. Just like he wishes goodness for himself, he should wish goodness for them as well. He should be happy when good things happen to them. Him being happy brings him Thawab and makes him earn the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله
Because when goodness comes to others, it comes to you as well when you are happy for them. If goodness comes to others, it’s not a bad thing. When good things happen to people, to your brothers, your Muslim brothers, their goodness will touch you too.
But if you are jealous, you will be deprived of that Thawab. And you will have committed a sin because you obeyed your ego. When goodness comes, it comes to all. Its benefit is for everyone. But when there is envy and jealousy, the Barakah goes away and the goodness doesn’t stay. There will be enmity and badness.
Therefore, when something happens to others, to your neighbors, to your Muslim brothers; when goodness and Barakah come to them, you should be happy. This is the order and advice of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to us. Do not obey your ego. An untrained ego always wants badness. It doesn’t want goodness. It doesn’t think about anyone but itself. But if you train it, there will be benefit for both you and everyone. May Allah جل جلاله not let us obey our egos.
May He جل جلاله let us all obey the advice and orders of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam insha’Allah.

REPENT AFTER MAKING MISTAKES
29 November 2022/ 05 Jumada al-Awwal 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 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 salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says:
كُلُّ ابْنِ آدَمَ خَطَّاءٌ وَخَيْرُ الْخَطَّائِينَ التَّوَّابُونَ
“Every son of Adam sins, and the best of the sinners are the repentant.” [Hadith]
Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that the sons of ‘Adam always make mistakes. The infallible ones are Prophets. Only Prophets are infallible. The rest make mistakes and do wrong. But those who repent and ask forgiveness after making a mistake are the best people.
What we mean by mistakes is sins and wrongdoings. We must know this. The way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is the way of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jama’ah. We accept this. The infallible ones are just Prophets. They are infallible and free from mistakes. The rest can make mistakes. All of us make mistakes. Sahabahs make them. Awliyas make them. Shaykh and Mashayikh also make them. It is possible. We all know this. Therefore, we don’t say we are infallible. Those who say so are not counted as Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jama’ah then.
When a mistake is made, one must repent and ask forgiveness. And that mistake will turn into Thawab. If it a sin, when you repent, Allah جل جلاله says :
يُبَدِّلُ ٱللَّهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ حَسَنَـٰتٍ
“Yubaddilu Llāhu sayyiātihim ḥasanāt”,
“For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good.” (Qur’an 25:70).
He جل جلاله will change sins into Hasanat. There is wisdom and virtue in this for mankind. In order for mankind not to favor themselves, in order for them not to feel superior around people by saying, “I am Shaykh. I am Awliya. I am this and that”, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla especially made this.
Those who are outside Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jama’ah consider themselves as infallible. They show their words as the order of Allah جل جلاله. Whereas what they do is neither in Qur’an, nor Sunnah, nor Hadith. They have gone astray. They are out of the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. They are people who are out of the way of Prophets, the way of Sahabah and Ahlu l-Bayt.
All of Ahlu l-Bayt follow the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. They can also make mistakes. Anyone after our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم can make mistakes. But they are the people who accept their mistakes. If there is some fault, they immediately quit it and say, “We did wrong. People on the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم gave us advice and we returned to the right way”.
After our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, Sayyidina Abu Bakr made Khutbah and said, “Correct me when I make a mistake.” Look at the greatness of the Sahabah. They say so for people not to make mistakes later. And people who show their words as the word of Allah جل جلاله are mistaken. Following them harms people. May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May we all be steadfast on this right way insha’Allah.
May Allah جل جلاله not let people be confused. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.

IF ANGRY, BE SILENT
28 November 2022/ 04 Jumada al-Awwal 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 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 salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is the best person with the most beautiful manners. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is an example for us. The life of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and his every action are the way that shows goodness to humanity. It is the way that describes goodness. Because it was not only by speaking, but also by doing. He صلى الله عليه وسلم was the like that. He صلى الله عليه وسلم was not like people nowadays who talk and preach but do not take a share from that preaching themselves.
Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam paid more attention to himself, as he صلى الله عليه وسلم was the example for people. He صلى الله عليه وسلم is the best example for us. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla praised him صلى الله عليه وسلم in the Qur’an:
لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ
‘’Laqad kāna lakum fī RasụliLlāhi uswatun ḥasanah’’
‘’There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example.”(Qur’ān 33:21).
“The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is a good example for you. Follow him صلى الله عليه وسلم, imitate him صلى الله عليه وسلم and do what he صلى الله عليه وسلم does”, He جل جلاله says. All his صلى الله عليه وسلم words are gold and diamonds. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is a jewel.
He صلى الله عليه وسلم has a Hadith that we told the other day:
“إذا غَضِبَ أحدُكم فلْيسكتْ”
“Idha ghadiba ahadukum fal-yaskut.”
When a person is angry, when someone among you gets angry, be silent.
This is a great advice, because when someone is angry, he doesn’t know what he says. He doesn’t know what kind of bad words he says. Therefore, he should capture his ego. He should control his ego and be silent, says our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. When angry, he shouldn’t swear and curse. He shouldn’t even say a bad word.
This is actually something important for all humanity. Because when someone is angry, others get angry too. They get into a fight and it ends badly. It is the most important thing for people of Tariqah as well: to control the ego, to capture the ego.
It is a great and a very beautiful saying. It is a short Hadith, but this holy saying of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has great benefits to people. May Allah جل جلاله let us follow him صلى الله عليه وسلم.
May He جل جلاله make all of us successful in imitating him صلى الله عليه وسلم, in performing his صلى الله عليه وسلم Sunnah and doing what he صلى الله عليه وسلم did insha’Allah.

BE STEADFAST IN ALL MATTERS
27 November 2022/ 03 Jumada al-Awwal 1444
Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
يُثَبِّتُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱلْقَوْلِ ٱلثَّابِتِ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَفِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ
(Qur’ān 14:27).
‘’Yuthabbitu Allāhu l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū Bil Qawli th-Thābiti Fī l- Hayāati d-Dunyā wa fī l-'Ākhirati’’
‘’Allah keeps firm those who believe, with the firm word, in worldly life and in the Hereafter.’‘ Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘aẓīm.
Allah جل جلاله makes those who believe steadfast both here and hereafter. The biggest key to success and achievement is steadfastness, being persistent. When you follow a way, if you don’t separate from that way and keep steadfast on it, Allah جل جلاله will make you steadfast in Akhirah too.
This is applicable for everything, for worldly matters and matters of Akhirah. But matters of Akhirah are more important. In order to separate people from the right way, in order for people not to be steadfast, shaytan makes Waswasa and various things to them. He says, “I will show you a better way” and puts people in doubt and suspicion. When they fall in doubt, they get harm from it.
Therefore, when you follow a way, do what is required on that way. Even if little, that is not important. Some people say, “I couldn’t make a progress.” Your duty - Whether you make a progress or not, when Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave you orders, He جل جلاله did not say that . What He جل جلاله ordered to you is to worship, obey Him جل جلاله and to carry out His جل جلاله orders . The rest doesn’t concern you. The rest is for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Even if you know or don’t know, it is written in the presence of Allah جل جلاله
If you are steadfast, make Shukr to Allah جل جلاله and praise Allah جل جلاله. They say, “No, I want to do more”. Don’t ask for things you cannot handle. Do what you can handle. That is enough. There is no complication.”
“ يَسِّرُوا ولا تُعَسِّرُوا ”
“Make things easy and do not make them difficult”. [Hadith]
Therefore, this way must be just like you eat, drink and sleep every day. It must be like that for people. You don’t think, “Will I be better or worse if I eat today?” People must take their spiritual food every day just like they take physical food. People who do this are in profit. They will be steadfast both here and hereafter. And it is more important to be steadfast in Akhirah.
In worldly matters also, when people ask about which job to take, they say there is a better job while they already have one. They go for it without knowing, and then they realize that their old job was better.
Therefore, if you have your Rizq, if your Rizq is fine, no need to desire for more. If Allah جل جلاله opens it for you, you can go for it.
But what’s important is to be steadfast in your worship, on your way and for your Akhirah. That has a lot of profit. When you are not steadfast in the matters of Akhirah and worship, that is difficult. As we said, don’t ask for things that you cannot do. How much you do, that is acceptable as long as you are steadfast.
May Allah جل جلاله give us all steadfastness and strong Iman insha’Allah.

OUR TARIQAH IS LOVE
26 November 2022/ 02 Jumada al-Awwal 1444
Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah

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.
Tariqah is for the goodness and benefit of people with the permission of Allah .جل جلاله
Tariqah is the way of Islam, the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. It is to be connected to him صلى الله عليه وسلم to love him صلى الله عليه وسلم and to respect him صلى الله عليه وسلم to love those whom he صلى الله عليه وسلم loves and not to love those whom he صلى الله عليه وسلم doesn’t love.
Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says it is the highest level of Iman.
“الْحُبُّ فِي اللَّهِ وَالْبُغْضُ فِي اللَّهِ”
“Al-ḥubbu fī Llāh wa l-bughdu fī Llāh”,
“Love for Allah جل جلاله and hate for Allah جل جلاله“ [Hadith].
How do you attain it? You must love those whom our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam loves and not love those whom he صلى الله عليه وسلم doesn’t love. You must dislike them. When you don’t dislike them, you will love them then. Therefore, love must be for the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله. It must be for Allah جل جلاله. You must love those whom Allah جل جلاله loves and not love those whom He جل جلاله doesn’t love.
What is disliked by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم? The things disliked are bad things, useless things, harmful things, shaytan and his followers. We don’t have to love them. There is no obligation when people don’t feel it inside. No one can force them.
Therefore, our Tariqah is love. It is love of Allah Jalla Jalaluhu and our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam to all Mu’minin and Mu’minat. It is to support them and to make Dua for them insha’Allah. May Allah جل جلاله raise those who are on His جل جلاله way. May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May Allah جل جلاله make the way of Haqq everlasting. We live in the time of Fitnah. May Allah جل جلاله invert the Fitnah on the heads of those who make this Fitnah insha’Allah.
We are living in a very dangerous time. May Allah جل جلاله protect us. As we said, this advice is from our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. It is not actually difficult. It is not difficult to love goodness and not to love badness. It is in the nature of people, but shaytan and ego are changing it. May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May we follow the Haqq/truth.
May there be strength to our Iman insha’Allah.

FOLLOWED ALLAH’S جل جلاله WAY THEN GONE ASTRAY

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created mankind and placed them on earth. But mankind has mostly followed the way of Allah جل جلاله and then gone astray. So they were destroyed when they did so.
Three days ago we were in the southern part of Turkey, in Anatolia. Many nations had lived there because Allah ‘Azza had given them everything; soil, water, sun and beautiful lands. People flowed and resided there. Millions and billions of people had lived there. As we said, they were sent Prophets. They were shown the right way too. But mankind is as such that they follow the right way in the beginning, but later shaytan and ego mislead them. Such people had lived here, and then they were destroyed. Other people than other people came in their place. It has been so until today. And now Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, people live by the religion of Islam. But shaytan is not leaving them alone. He is disturbing them.
Peace and comfort are in Islam, in the belief in Allah ‘A

with the most beautiful name of Allah جل جلاله who is extremely merciful and extremely beneficent. We cannot have any greater good tidings than that.
Therefore believe in Allah جل جلاله and walk on the way of Allah جل جلاله , worship Allah ,جل جلاله . Mankind will win from this. They won’t win from other things. Those who say they are Muslim tell people who don’t believe in this, “Allah جل جلاله will punish you like this and like that.” Allah جل جلاله does not punish Muslims. We must believe in it. Muslims, people who believe in Allah جل جلاله are always winning here and hereafter with the permission of Allah جل جلاله
May Allah جل جلاله treat us with His جل جلاله Mercy insha’Allah.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave us this beautiful day. Be together in these beautiful times. It is a great blessing, a great favor. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave this Day of Jum’ah to our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. It is the most blessed day of the week. It is the most precious day. This day was given for the honor of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to Islam and Muslims.
There is also an hour of response in this day. When people make Dua in the hour of response, it is accepted and good things happen. But it is not specified when this hour is. So people should remember Allah جل جلاله all the time and make Dua to Allah جل جلاله. The Dua will be accepted insha’Allah, because everything is with Dua. Dua is the weapon.
The weapon of Muslims is Dua. And Friday is the day when Dua is accepted the most. There is an hour in it. When this hour of response comes, the Dua is accepted.
As we said, the Dua is the weapon of Muslims for goodness to come such as Rizq, marriage, children, offsprings and Iman. Include all of them in Dua. Also to be protected from the evil, black magic, Waswasa of the evil shaytan, apparent and hidden accidents. With Dua you can be protected from them.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave us tests. In order to be protected from those tests, the Dua will protect people. Insha’Allah we will catch this holy day and holy hour of response so that our Duas are accepted. Whatever troubles, illnesses and hardship there are, they can be overcome with Dua with the permission of Allah جل جلاله
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla knows our weakness, so He جل جلاله gave us a beautiful thing to be protected. That is the Dua.
May Allah جل جلاله protect us all with Dua. May He جل جلاله give strength to our Iman insha’Allah.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Yasin, Surat and Ayat. They have sent them from all over the world. There are hundreds and thousands of recited Tahlilat, Takbirat, Salawat.
We gift all of them firstly to the great soul of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, to the souls of all Prophets, to the souls of our Mashayikh, to the souls of all of our late relatives.
For our spirituality, with the intention of goodness to come and evil to be gone.

TARIQAH IS NOT FOR PERSONAL INTEREST

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِى مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ
‘‘Innaka la tahdi man ‘ahbabta wa lakinna Allaha yahdi man yasha’u’’
‘’Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills.’’ (Qur’ān )28:56
He جل جلاله tells our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, “You cannot make those whom you love or want reach guidance”. Allah جل جلاله lets whomever He جل جلاله wants reach guidance. Guidance is from Allah جل جلاله. A person who is given it should make Shukr. He should praise Allah جل جلاله and make Shukr that He جل جلاله gave him this beautiful thing. It is a beautiful gift. It is from Allah جل جلاله
Tariqah is a part of it. Shari’ah and Tariqah – all of them are from Allah جل جلاله to some people. Not for all people. Most people are away from it. They are not in it. Some people say, “I’ve been in Tariqah for so much time. I did so and so.” It means you are not in Tariqah then. If you see it as personal interest, you have not joined it since the beginning. You have not devoted yourself to this way, as you don’t know it. Allah جل جلاله gave it. But you think it is from yourself. And you want something in return.
You can only expect the reward from Allah جل جلاله in return for it. When you do so, your heart, your work, everything will be good. Otherwise, it is for personal interest. When you say, “I’ve been here for so many years. I’ve been there for so many years”, then you have joined it for your personal interest. When there is such an interest, you do it not for Allah جل جلاله but for your own ego. And that has no benefit to you at all. You will have wasted your time in vain. It must be for Allah جل جلاله. You must be sincere. He جل جلاله can give or not give; He does whatever He جل جلاله wants.
When you think, “I am here for so many years”, it means nothing of what you did was right. It was hypocrisy. It was for your personal interest. Because people of Dunya, people of the present time are worse than those of other times. Everything is for their personal interest. They join a party for benefit. They go here for benefit; they go there for benefit. And they think the matters of religion and Tariqah are similarly for personal benefit. There is great benefit. But it is not the worldly benefit, it is the benefit of Akhirah. People must know this and act accordingly. If they come here for personal benefit, for Dunya – there is also worldly benefit in Tariqah, Shukr to Allah جل جلاله. But it is mainly for Akhirah.
Therefore, we don’t keep anyone by force. We don’t take anyone by force. It is the matter of the heart. If Allah جل جلاله put it in one’s heart, he will come. If not, they shouldn’t wait at all. This door is not the door of worldly benefit. It is the door of the benefit of Akhirah with the permission of Allah جل جلاله.
May Allah جل جلاله give us all strong Iman.
May He جل جلاله help us all.

BE HAPPY FOR OTHERS’ GOODNESS

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
اَلْمُؤْمِنُ أَخُو اَلْمُؤْمِنِ
“Al-Mu’minu Akhu l-Mu’min.” [Hadith].
Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam says that a believer is a believer’s brother. He should ask for goodness for them. Just like he wishes goodness for himself, he should wish goodness for them as well. He should be happy when good things happen to them. Him being happy brings him Thawab and makes him earn the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله
Because when goodness comes to others, it comes to you as well when you are happy for them. If goodness comes to others, it’s not a bad thing. When good things happen to people, to your brothers, your Muslim brothers, their goodness will touch you too.
But if you are jealous, you will be deprived of that Thawab. And you will have committed a sin because you obeyed your ego. When goodness comes, it comes to all. Its benefit is for everyone. But when there is envy and jealousy, the Barakah goes away and the goodness doesn’t stay. There will be enmity and badness.
Therefore, when something happens to others, to your neighbors, to your Muslim brothers; when goodness and Barakah come to them, you should be happy. This is the order and advice of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to us. Do not obey your ego. An untrained ego always wants badness. It doesn’t want goodness. It doesn’t think about anyone but itself. But if you train it, there will be benefit for both you and everyone. May Allah جل جلاله not let us obey our egos.
May He جل جلاله let us all obey the advice and orders of our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam insha’Allah.

REPENT AFTER MAKING MISTAKES
29 November 2022/ 05 Jumada al-Awwal 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 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 salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says:
كُلُّ ابْنِ آدَمَ خَطَّاءٌ وَخَيْرُ الْخَطَّائِينَ التَّوَّابُونَ
“Every son of Adam sins, and the best of the sinners are the repentant.” [Hadith]
Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that the sons of ‘Adam always make mistakes. The infallible ones are Prophets. Only Prophets are infallible. The rest make mistakes and do wrong. But those who repent and ask forgiveness after making a mistake are the best people.
What we mean by mistakes is sins and wrongdoings. We must know this. The way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is the way of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jama’ah. We accept this. The infallible ones are just Prophets. They are infallible and free from mistakes. The rest can make mistakes. All of us make mistakes. Sahabahs make them. Awliyas make them. Shaykh and Mashayikh also make them. It is possible. We all know this. Therefore, we don’t say we are infallible. Those who say so are not counted as Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jama’ah then.
When a mistake is made, one must repent and ask forgiveness. And that mistake will turn into Thawab. If it a sin, when you repent, Allah جل جلاله says :
يُبَدِّلُ ٱللَّهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ حَسَنَـٰتٍ
“Yubaddilu Llāhu sayyiātihim ḥasanāt”,
“For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good.” (Qur’an 25:70).
He جل جلاله will change sins into Hasanat. There is wisdom and virtue in this for mankind. In order for mankind not to favor themselves, in order for them not to feel superior around people by saying, “I am Shaykh. I am Awliya. I am this and that”, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla especially made this.
Those who are outside Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jama’ah consider themselves as infallible. They show their words as the order of Allah جل جلاله. Whereas what they do is neither in Qur’an, nor Sunnah, nor Hadith. They have gone astray. They are out of the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. They are people who are out of the way of Prophets, the way of Sahabah and Ahlu l-Bayt.
All of Ahlu l-Bayt follow the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. They can also make mistakes. Anyone after our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم can make mistakes. But they are the people who accept their mistakes. If there is some fault, they immediately quit it and say, “We did wrong. People on the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم gave us advice and we returned to the right way”.
After our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, Sayyidina Abu Bakr made Khutbah and said, “Correct me when I make a mistake.” Look at the greatness of the Sahabah. They say so for people not to make mistakes later. And people who show their words as the word of Allah جل جلاله are mistaken. Following them harms people. May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May we all be steadfast on this right way insha’Allah.
May Allah جل جلاله not let people be confused. May Allah جل جلاله protect us.

IF ANGRY, BE SILENT

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is the best person with the most beautiful manners. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is an example for us. The life of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and his every action are the way that shows goodness to humanity. It is the way that describes goodness. Because it was not only by speaking, but also by doing. He صلى الله عليه وسلم was the like that. He صلى الله عليه وسلم was not like people nowadays who talk and preach but do not take a share from that preaching themselves.
Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam paid more attention to himself, as he صلى الله عليه وسلم was the example for people. He صلى الله عليه وسلم is the best example for us. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla praised him صلى الله عليه وسلم in the Qur’an:
لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ
‘’Laqad kāna lakum fī RasụliLlāhi uswatun ḥasanah’’
‘’There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example.”(Qur’ān 33:21).
“The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is a good example for you. Follow him صلى الله عليه وسلم, imitate him صلى الله عليه وسلم and do what he صلى الله عليه وسلم does”, He جل جلاله says. All his صلى الله عليه وسلم words are gold and diamonds. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is a jewel.
He صلى الله عليه وسلم has a Hadith that we told the other day:
“إذا غَضِبَ أحدُكم فلْيسكتْ”
“Idha ghadiba ahadukum fal-yaskut.”
When a person is angry, when someone among you gets angry, be silent.
This is a great advice, because when someone is angry, he doesn’t know what he says. He doesn’t know what kind of bad words he says. Therefore, he should capture his ego. He should control his ego and be silent, says our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. When angry, he shouldn’t swear and curse. He shouldn’t even say a bad word.
This is actually something important for all humanity. Because when someone is angry, others get angry too. They get into a fight and it ends badly. It is the most important thing for people of Tariqah as well: to control the ego, to capture the ego.
It is a great and a very beautiful saying. It is a short Hadith, but this holy saying of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has great benefits to people. May Allah جل جلاله let us follow him صلى الله عليه وسلم.
May He جل جلاله make all of us successful in imitating him صلى الله عليه وسلم, in performing his صلى الله عليه وسلم Sunnah and doing what he صلى الله عليه وسلم did insha’Allah.

BE STEADFAST IN ALL MATTERS

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
يُثَبِّتُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱلْقَوْلِ ٱلثَّابِتِ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَفِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ
(Qur’ān 14:27).
‘’Yuthabbitu Allāhu l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū Bil Qawli th-Thābiti Fī l- Hayāati d-Dunyā wa fī l-'Ākhirati’’
‘’Allah keeps firm those who believe, with the firm word, in worldly life and in the Hereafter.’‘ Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘aẓīm.
Allah جل جلاله makes those who believe steadfast both here and hereafter. The biggest key to success and achievement is steadfastness, being persistent. When you follow a way, if you don’t separate from that way and keep steadfast on it, Allah جل جلاله will make you steadfast in Akhirah too.
This is applicable for everything, for worldly matters and matters of Akhirah. But matters of Akhirah are more important. In order to separate people from the right way, in order for people not to be steadfast, shaytan makes Waswasa and various things to them. He says, “I will show you a better way” and puts people in doubt and suspicion. When they fall in doubt, they get harm from it.
Therefore, when you follow a way, do what is required on that way. Even if little, that is not important. Some people say, “I couldn’t make a progress.” Your duty - Whether you make a progress or not, when Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave you orders, He جل جلاله did not say that . What He جل جلاله ordered to you is to worship, obey Him جل جلاله and to carry out His جل جلاله orders . The rest doesn’t concern you. The rest is for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Even if you know or don’t know, it is written in the presence of Allah جل جلاله
If you are steadfast, make Shukr to Allah جل جلاله and praise Allah جل جلاله. They say, “No, I want to do more”. Don’t ask for things you cannot handle. Do what you can handle. That is enough. There is no complication.”
“ يَسِّرُوا ولا تُعَسِّرُوا ”
“Make things easy and do not make them difficult”. [Hadith]
Therefore, this way must be just like you eat, drink and sleep every day. It must be like that for people. You don’t think, “Will I be better or worse if I eat today?” People must take their spiritual food every day just like they take physical food. People who do this are in profit. They will be steadfast both here and hereafter. And it is more important to be steadfast in Akhirah.
In worldly matters also, when people ask about which job to take, they say there is a better job while they already have one. They go for it without knowing, and then they realize that their old job was better.
Therefore, if you have your Rizq, if your Rizq is fine, no need to desire for more. If Allah جل جلاله opens it for you, you can go for it.
But what’s important is to be steadfast in your worship, on your way and for your Akhirah. That has a lot of profit. When you are not steadfast in the matters of Akhirah and worship, that is difficult. As we said, don’t ask for things that you cannot do. How much you do, that is acceptable as long as you are steadfast.
May Allah جل جلاله give us all steadfastness and strong Iman insha’Allah.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Tariqah is for the goodness and benefit of people with the permission of Allah .جل جلاله
Tariqah is the way of Islam, the way of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. It is to be connected to him صلى الله عليه وسلم to love him صلى الله عليه وسلم and to respect him صلى الله عليه وسلم to love those whom he صلى الله عليه وسلم loves and not to love those whom he صلى الله عليه وسلم doesn’t love.
Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says it is the highest level of Iman.
“الْحُبُّ فِي اللَّهِ وَالْبُغْضُ فِي اللَّهِ”
“Al-ḥubbu fī Llāh wa l-bughdu fī Llāh”,
“Love for Allah جل جلاله and hate for Allah جل جلاله“ [Hadith].
How do you attain it? You must love those whom our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam loves and not love those whom he صلى الله عليه وسلم doesn’t love. You must dislike them. When you don’t dislike them, you will love them then. Therefore, love must be for the pleasure of Allah جل جلاله. It must be for Allah جل جلاله. You must love those whom Allah جل جلاله loves and not love those whom He جل جلاله doesn’t love.
What is disliked by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم? The things disliked are bad things, useless things, harmful things, shaytan and his followers. We don’t have to love them. There is no obligation when people don’t feel it inside. No one can force them.
Therefore, our Tariqah is love. It is love of Allah Jalla Jalaluhu and our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam to all Mu’minin and Mu’minat. It is to support them and to make Dua for them insha’Allah. May Allah جل جلاله raise those who are on His جل جلاله way. May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May Allah جل جلاله make the way of Haqq everlasting. We live in the time of Fitnah. May Allah جل جلاله invert the Fitnah on the heads of those who make this Fitnah insha’Allah.
We are living in a very dangerous time. May Allah جل جلاله protect us. As we said, this advice is from our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. It is not actually difficult. It is not difficult to love goodness and not to love badness. It is in the nature of people, but shaytan and ego are changing it. May Allah جل جلاله protect us. May we follow the Haqq/truth.
May there be strength to our Iman insha’Allah.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created mankind and placed them on earth. But mankind has mostly followed the way of Allah جل جلاله and then gone astray. So they were destroyed when they did so.
Three days ago we were in the southern part of Turkey, in Anatolia. Many nations had lived there because Allah ‘Azza had given them everything; soil, water, sun and beautiful lands. People flowed and resided there. Millions and billions of people had lived there. As we said, they were sent Prophets. They were shown the right way too. But mankind is as such that they follow the right way in the beginning, but later shaytan and ego mislead them. Such people had lived here, and then they were destroyed. Other people than other people came in their place. It has been so until today. And now Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, people live by the religion of Islam. But shaytan is not leaving them alone. He is disturbing them.
Peace and comfort are in Islam, in the belief in Allah ‘A
