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.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created different kinds of people. Each person has a different state. Allah‘Azzawa-Jallais:“َ

عالَُّماْلغُيُوب ”,“A’llamul-Ghuyub”

“TheAll- Knower of the unseen.” (Qur’ān 09:78). 

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the One who knows their hearts and states. Nothing is hidden from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allah’s .جل جلاله Power and Majesty is endless. The mind cannot realize nor reach its limit. It has no limit anyways. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla’s Power and Majesty is unlimited.

Therefore, mankind must obey Allah جل جلاله and trust in Allah جل جلاله. He must be pleased with what Allah جل جلاله gives him. And he must make Shukr so that everything becomes better, so that He جل جلاله gives us more favors. The greatest favor is the favor of Iman, which is little in this time.

What has become the sultan of this time, the sultan of people is shaytan. They do what he says. And they don’t do what Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says. Then, they want goodness. They strive to act according to their own minds saying, “I will do this. I will do that.” But what they do is useless and of no good ending. Do whatever you want; let the whole world be yours. When your time comes, when your ‘Ajal (appointed time of death) comes, no one will save you. Therefore, obey Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and all Prophets were sent to people for this reason. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent them for people not to be cheated and not to obey shaytan. This is the duty of the Prophets, then the Sahabah, believers and the Mashayikh. This duty is for the benefit of humanity and mankind.

 

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Allah wants goodness and beauty for you. The shaytan promises you evil and all kinds of badness.” Also what’s most important here is that he also promises you poorness. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “I will give you Barakah, he will give you poorness.”

People still go after him. They are following him. Mankind think it is easy: “To follow him is easier.” This is what comes to their minds, but it is essentially more difficult. Their fate, their end will be difficult. It is an intolerably difficult path. The path of shaytan is the worst of the worst. May Allah جل جلاله not make you follow it. His path is filthy. His path is evil. All kinds of troubles and harms are in his path. Even if his path may seem beautiful, it is only a deception. His path is badness to people. It is badness in Dunya and even worse badness in Akhirah.

Do not follow your ego in this world. Allah جل جلاله has given you Halal things. If you do them, you won’t need to do the Haram! They are sufficient for you. They are cheating people by saying, “I will give you this much. I will give you that much.” This is the shaytan. “If you do this, you will earn this much. If you do that, you will earn this much.” Earn as much as you want, there will be no benefit and no Barakah.

There are many examples. There are many examples that we saw. Once when we were in Cyprus, years ago, about 35 years ago, we went with Mawlana Sheikh Nazim to a mosque in Lefkoşa/Nicosia. On the way back from there, there was a stall. The man knew and loved Mawlana. The man had all kinds of things on his stall and was selling them. Something caught Mawlana’s eye. I don’t know whether it is a drink of the Cypriots or something else. The man put alcohol or something in it to sell it. Mawlana said, “Don’t do this. Even if you earn from it, there is no Barakah in it. Don’t sell this. Remove this from here. Even if you will earn a few pennies, all of its Barakah will go away. There will be no Barakah.” The man came up with excuses and didn’t accept. After 1-2 years, we saw that the whole building, where his shop was and all his things were, completely burned. That’s how he suddenly lost it. And he had no Barakah in what he earned anyways. He brought misfortune to his and others’ propeties. All was gone at once.

Stay away from people who earn from haram, or eat and drink haram and think that they have done something. People should not trust them. Do not approach them. Their lack of Barakah will get to a person’s family. This is the worst: to have one’s children turn out as bad people. Then Allah جل جلاله sends something [illness] upon his health. Even if he spends all what he earned [on his health] he still wouldn’t be able to regain his health. 

Bad money and bad habits have no limit for people. A person must not follow his ego.

May Allah جل جلاله protect our children. Now these traitors are letting youngsters eat poison. They have spread drugs everywhere now. Those who do this are people who are enemies of Islam and enemies of Allah جل جلاله anyways. What they have earned will first revert on their bodies and themselves, this poison. They will regret what they did, but their regret will be useless. Therefore, one must not be happy saying, “I will put. I will get. I will earn.” It has no benefit at all.

 May Allah جل جلاله save those who do so. May Allah جل جلاله protect those who do not do so.

Now there are special soldiers of shaytan everywhere. Even all over the Islamic world, wherever you look, there are complaints, “That is a drug addict, this ‘I don’t know what’ addict.” Therefore, people should control their ego. Muslim families, parents and children should stay away from them.

The friend who gives that is more shaytan than the shaytan, he is worse than him. Don’t follow him. He’s not doing you good, he’s doing you bad. Children start with a cigarette first. The cigarette is the biggest affliction. May Allah .جل جلاله protect them. They start with cigarettes first and then get worse.

 Therefore  don’t be negligent saying, “It [cigarette] is a small thing.” Don’t say “It is a small thing.” Who does that: it will grow bigger and bigger, it will crush you and you’ll be gone.

Therefore, be on the way of Allah جل جلاله. The way of Allah جل جلاله is beautiful. The way of Allah .جل جلاله is goodness in both Dunya and Akhirah.  Be on the way of Allah جل جلاله .Be with the friends of Allah جل جلاله. Let your friends be people who love the friends of Allah جل جلاله. The others are not friends; they are actually not even human.

 People in this world have become monsters. They are striving to eat each other. So be careful not to be eaten. Or else they will eat you and spit you then. May Allah .جل جلاله protect us.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

وصايا للناس

أطِع الله ﷻ وكن في طريقهﷻ . طريق الشيطان خادع وقذر ومع ذلك لا يزال الناس يتبعونه. لا تتبع نفسك. البركة في الحلال فقط. إبتعد عن الذين يكسبون من الحرام والذين يُعطون السم.
