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.

Abu Ayyub Al Ansari Madad. BismiLlahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim:

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَكُونُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

(Qur’ān 09:119). 

‘’Yā ‘Ayyuhā l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū t-Taqū l-Llaha Wa Kūnū Ma’a s-Sādiqīn’’

 ‘’O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful’’. 

It is the order of Allah Azza wa Jalla. Those who believe must be with people who are truthful. Truthful means: A person who is on the right way, who is going straight. He جل جلاله says to be with them. Allah Azza wa Jalla says to be with people who do not lie to you, who do not cheat you, and who do not want to harm you. Allah Azza wa Jalla says this because of His جل جلاله Mercy towards us.

Allah Azza wa Jalla says not to be with bad people. Of course, human beings get along with all kinds of people. But they try to be with the good ones. If he is to make friends or companions, he will do so with the good ones. If they are not like that, to give advice, he can be with everyone. But people who benefit the most, people who want to benefit the most must be together with the friends of Allah جل جلاله, those who love Allah جل جلاله, those who love the Awliya and those who love the Companions and Ahlu l-Bayt, so that they become a beloved servant of Allah  ,جل جلاله  and to stay away from the evil and shaytan, they must be with these people. It brings them closer to Allah جل جلاله. Allah Azza wa Jalla will be happy.

The repentance of Allah Azza wa Jalla’s servant makes Him جل جلاله very happy, says our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam explains this with an example: While a man was on his way through the desert with his camel, he arrived at a place. Of course, he stops to rest. He sets his camel aside and sits next to it. He sleeps, while the camel rests. 

Then this man wakes up and looks: there is no camel, his camel has escaped. In the desert there is neither a way nor a trail [to find the camel]. It’s not like you can walk anyway. A person will perish in a day. There’s neither water, nor food nor anything else.

Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “As much as this person will be happy when he finds his camel, this is how much Allah Azza wa Jalla rejoices when His جل جلاله servant repents.” Allah Azza wa Jalla is the Most Merciful. Because of His جل جلاله Mercy for people, He جل جلاله wants them to be on the right way. Of course, this is achieved by being with good people. When a person is not with good people, everything becomes bad and terrible, and his life goes to waste.

Years are passing. Heedless people are happy that the year is over. People are happy that life is passing. Whereas that life is your most precious treasure. If you were to give millions for every passing minute of your life, you still wouldn't be able to bring it back. 

They waste it in vain. They get bored whereas there is nothing as being bored. When a person is with Allah جل جلاله, he cannot get bored. Likewise when he prays. Worship, make Tasbihat, read the Qur’an and learn good knowledge. They will all benefit you and you will gain rewards. You will also rise in rank, and you will have peace on the inside and be comfortable.

Otherwise, people do things that are of no benefit instead, and they think they are having fun. The next day, they wake up with darkness. They wake up with sickness and lack of Barakah. That’s because they are not on the way of Allah Azza wa Jalla and they are living in rebellion against Allah جل جلاله. If Allah Azza wa Jalla grants repentance to those people, their repentance will still be accepted. As long as a person is breathing, Allah Azza wa Jalla has given this opportunity.

The Door of Repentance is open for people who ask forgiveness from Allah جل جلاله. When does the Door of Repentance close? In the end of times, when the Qiyamah is near, the sun will rise from the west. Some people now say, “It is like this. It is like that. No, what is intended here is different.” They say that the sun does not rise directly from the West. No, this is what will happen. This is what our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said. It is one of the great signs and great indications of Qiyamah. After it happens, repentance will not be accepted. Or, after the last breath, the repentance of people who say, “I repent in the grave, I repent on the resurrection day, I repent in Hell,” their repentance will not be accepted. Whatever you have done and how many sins you have committed while in this world, Allah Azza wa Jalla forgives them. The forgiveness of Allah Azza wa Jalla is great.

That is why, the people of Tasawwuf/Sufism and the people of truth are sad about the sins of people and ask Allah جل جلاله to guide them, because guidance is from Allah جل جلاله. They always make this Dua: “May Allah جل جلاله have mercy on mankind, grant them Iman in their hearts, make them repent and ask forgiveness for their sins, make them regret it, and may Allah جل جلاله forgive them too.” Others curse them and swear at them. 

Cursing and swearing is not good. What is good is goodness. If the Dua that comes out of your mouth is accepted, they will be guided as well. It would be of more goodness and of more Barakah for everyone to live with good people. We live in a bad time. The more bad people increase, the more darkness descends.

Therefore, what we want and what we ask for from Allah جل جلاله is to guide people and protect the youth and children. Because we live in a time when they are attacking youngsters and children the most. They want to take them to their own way. Their own way is the way of shaytan, and it is not a good way. May Allah  جل جلاله protect all the children and youth of the Ummah of Muhammad  ,صلى الله عليه وسلم

Because we live in the end of times, we live in a difficult time in every respect. Sin can now be committed easily everywhere. Doing goodness is more difficult for people.

Therefore, may Allah Azza wa Jalla protect us and forgive our mistakes. We should not shame others. It is our duty to always control our ego and not to make it bigger. If you say things like, “I am good. I have reached this rank. I have reached that rank” may Allah جل جلاله protect us, but if Allah جل جلاله turns your hearts in a minute, your foot will slip then! That’s why, always ask for Madad from the Awliya and the holy ones. With Madad, their spiritual strength will reach you. It reaches you wherever you are with Allah’s جل جلاله permission.

Alhamdulillah, today we visited the holy one Sayyidina Abu Ayyub Al Ansari. Masha’Allah it takes five minutes till you enter through one door and five minutes till you exit through the other door. It is so crowded and Masha’Allah so many people are coming to visit. They are the Sultans of this place. With their Himmah and Barakah, this city is Islam’s capital. Istanbul is the place of the caliphate. With their Barakah, the Islamic world stands. 

Because they want to end it from all sides. But Allah جل جلاله does not give them an opportunity and preserves it insha’Allah. These holy ones are a great treasure. These holy ones are a strength for Istanbul, Turkey and the entire Islamic world.

Shukr to Allah جل جلاله, those who come to visit do not return empty-handed. Those who come to them and recite 1 Fatiha and 3 Ikhlas, surely they will be given a spiritual gift. Their names will be preserved insha’Allah. Their Iman will also be preserved insha’Allah. 

May Allah جل جلاله be pleased with all of you.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
