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.
Insha’Allah we will first make Sohbah. And after that, we will make Khatm ul-Khwajagan insha’Allah. Tonight is Laylatul Ragha’ib. We will insha’Allah pray Sunnat at-Tasabih: 4 Rak’aat after Dhikr.
A’ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. شه ُْر أُ همتي َ شه ِْري َو َر َمضَان َ ش ْعبَان َ َّللا َو َ رجب:سله َم َ َُّللا َ َّللا َ علَ ْي ِه َو ِ شه ُْر ه صلهى ه ِ سو ُل ه ُ قَا َل َر. Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “Rajab ShahruLlah, Sha’ban Shahri wa Ramadan Shahru Ummati.” Which means, this month, Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying, is the Month of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla: Rajab. Sha’ban is the month of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and Ramadan is the month of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam’s nation.
Now, those who don’t have belief. Those who have belief/Iman only by tongue, not coming to their hearts. They are denying everything that’s good for the Ummah. And are preventing people from doing things that are good for their Akhirah; anything they do from praying, fasting, celebrating the night of Jum’ah or other holy nights. They are saying that this is Bid’ah, this is not good. Unfortunately, people are already not doing and are running away from any kind of worship to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And these people don’t even have a mind or they have a not good intention, a bad intention: to make people run away from Islam and from Iman, to just accept them and not accept what Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying.
They said that Shahru Rajab is not a holy month. They are denying the Qur’an, because Rajab is one of the Ash’hur al-Hurum which Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla made for there to be no fighting in these months. Just like Dhu l-Qa’dah, Dhu lHijjah and Muharram. These 3 months are Ash’hur al-Hurum, and Rajab is the 4th by itself and is also protected. People are protected from war. There is no war in this month.
And the first Friday Night [of Rajab], like this night, is a blessed night. Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam mentioned in Hadith, there are 5 or 6 months in the year that are blessed and holy, and what you can do will be more accepted. Allah ﷻaccepts Dua and accepts your prayers.
They already don’t like to pray. They only pray Fard, not praying the Sunnah also. When seeing somebody [from them]; it is so weird to see these people. They are claiming they are Muslim and are giving advice/Nasiha to people. And their advice is exactly like nonbelievers’ advice. “Don’t pray”, they say. “This is Haram. If you pray in this month, it is Haram. Don’t pray more than [you do] anytime else.” If you fast, they say: “Don’t fast, it is also Haram, not acceptable.” As if they are agents for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and they can give Fatwa saying, “Pray. Don’t pray. This is too much.” Many people, our people, when they are praying in the mosque, many people come to them and ask them, “Why are you praying too much?” We are living for Akhirah. This is our way, way of Sahabah. The Sahabah were going to war to fight, and they were praying the whole time. They weren’t giving any minute for Dunya, for eating or drinking. They were just thinking, “We are going to war. Maybe this will be the last thing for us.” So they were praying and not looking for anything else.
AlhamduliLlah the Mashayikh and Ahlu s-Sunnah wal Jama’ah like to make every minute precious. To take these precious things, and not to leave jewels and gold, throwing them on the way, not taking them to put in your pocket and not benefiting from them.
Our life is short. We see thousands of years before us, there were people like us. They lived. They became baby first, after that a child, after that a man, after that an old man, and after that died and went. This is life. So we are not listening to who are following themselves. Because they are jealous they cannot do this, they are attacking people who are doing this. You must be happy. If another one is doing what you cannot do, say to Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla: “O AlhamduliLlah. There are people worshiping You.” Praying for the Ummah, not jealous from the Ummah.
Ahlu s-Sunnah wal Jama’ah are all the time asking for Khayr; good things for themselves and for others. ‘اب النه ِار َ سنَةً َو ِقنَا َ سنَةً َو ِفي ْاْل ِخ َر ِة َح َ ’ربهنَا آتِنَا ِفي ال ُّدنْيَا َح, َ َ عذ َ ‘Rabbana ‘Atina fi d-Dunya Hasanah wa fi l-Akhirati Hasanah wa Qina A’dhaba nNar’, ‘Our Lord! Grant us the good of this world and the Hereafter, and protect us from the torment of the Fire.’ (Qur’ān 02:201). Not saying, ‘ ًسنَة َ َربَّي آتِنِي فِي الدُّ ْنيَا َح ً ْ َ َّ اب النا ِر َ عذ َ سنَة َو ِقنِي َ ’ َوفِي اْل ِخ َرةِ َح, ‘Rabbi ‘Atini fi d-Dunya Hasanah wa fi l-Akhirati Hasanah wa Qini A’dhaba n-Nar’, ‘My Lord! Grant me the good of this world and the Hereafter, and protect me from the torment of the Fire.’ “Qina” means for all of us. Not saying, “O Allah! Keep me” but “Keep us away from fire.” “O Allah! Give us the best.” Not, “Give me the best.” We even saw in some Qur’an [editions], in the last Dua [Khatmul Qur’an (completion)] - AlhamduliLlah in the Ottoman Qur’an, all the time, you never see: “Rabbi Taqabbal Minni wa ‘Aa’fu A’nni”, meaning “O Allah, accept from me and forgive me” No. They all the time write, “Rabbana Taqqabbal Minna”, “O Allah, accept from all of us.” “Atina” not “Atini” - “Grant us” not “Grant me.” “Atini” means for myself only. They say for the whole Ummah. This is the Adab of Ahlu s-Sunnah wal Jama’ah. In everything, they put something to poison people. Even in the Qur’an, they put this in the last Dua. “Rabbi Rziqni” - “Rziqna!” Which means “Give us Rizq” for all of us; not only for me, for all of us. When coming for all of us, it comes [more] better for you. When people around you are poor, and you only have everything, it is also - if he is from sincere people, he won’t be happy, he won’t be relaxed for this. He wants everybody to be good. AlhamuliLlah the way of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, our way is like this. Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was first asking, “Ummati, Ummati”, “My Nation, May Allah ﷻforgive them. I want them to be safe from hell, from a bad end.” But these people are not accepting anyone. They are jealous from everyone. Even if they are jealous from us, it is okay. But until now, they are jealous from Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Even when you make a celebration for Isra’ and Mi’raj, they also get very angry, “This is not Sunnah, not acceptable. Don’t do this. This is Bid’ah, Haram.” Allah, Allah! This is a season for people to remember Allah ﷻ, to pray for Allah ﷻ, to fast. When we fast on the 27th of Rajab, are we fasting for another thing? No. We are fasting for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, for His ﷻpleasure. We believe that He ﷻwill reward us. But they are saying, “No.” They are really like shaytan: ‘اس ْ ’ا ْل َو, ‘Al-waswāsi l-kḥannās’, ‘The retreating ِ اس ا ْل َخن ه ِ س َو whisperer.’ (Qur’ān 114:04). They put this doubt in everyone and this doubt destroys Iman. And for this, they don’t have Iman. Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam says, that their [reading of] Qur’an is only in mouth, cannot go down from the throat to the heart. Their reading of the Qur’an is only in the mouth, and there’s no benefit for them.
This is a big Fitnah. We are living in the end of times. The biggest Fitnah is these people. They were before; but at that time, belief was [more] stronger, there were more ‘Ulama (scholars). But now there are these: many shaytan machine. Everywhere they are going wearing this funny thing on their heads. And after that, they say, “We are Muslim.” If you are Muslim, did Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam wear this! He ﷺwore Amamah. Where is your Amamah? No. And after that, you say, “You make Bid’ah. You make this. You make that.”
May Allah ﷻsave people, our Muslims. Because many Muslims, when they are seeing these two black ropes on the scarf on one’s head they say, “This is the Khalifah of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.” And they accept everything they say. No. There are Masha’Allah of those who don’t wear this from India, from Pakistan, from Africa, from Central Asia, from Malaysia, from Indonesia, people who know a hundred times more than this ‘Ilim (knowledge). They can stop them for what they are saying, and they cannot open their mouths. َ “No ْ َ”َل ف, So we say many times, don’t think - “عج َِم ٍّي ِإ هَل ِبالت ه ْق َوى َ علَى َ ض َل ِلعَ َر ِب ٍّي Arab is superior to a non-Arab except by piety”, this is what Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says. If we are Arab, they are not better than you if you are more afraid from Allah ;ﷻexcept RasulaLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Respect RasulaLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. If they don’t respect him ﷺ, we don’t respect them.
We say this because this night is a holy night. All people now in the whole world have begun to say from the beginning of Rajab that Rajab is not a holy month, it is Bid’ah and it is that. They only put what they want, not putting the real thing. But Allah ﷻis with us. Don’t be afraid. Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is happy with us, and we are happy with Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam; not with those who don’t respect Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. May Allah ﷻ keep us safe and give us the Barakah of this night: Laylatul Ragha’ib, and the night of Jum’ah also, the first Jum’ah of Rajab. May Allah ﷻmake it Mubarak (blessed).

Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “Rajab ShahruLlah, Sha’ban Shahri wa Ramadan Shahru Ummati.” Which means, this month, Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying, is the Month of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla: Rajab. Sha’ban is the month of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and Ramadan is the month of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam’s nation.
Now, those who don’t have belief. Those who have belief/Iman only by tongue, not coming to their hearts. They are denying everything that’s good for the Ummah.

Not saying, ‘ ًسنَة َ َربَّي آتِنِي فِي الدُّ ْنيَا َح ً ْ َ َّ اب النا ِر َ عذ َ سنَة َو ِقنِي َ ’ َوفِي اْل ِخ َرةِ َح, ‘Rabbi ‘Atini fi d-Dunya Hasanah wa fi l-Akhirati Hasanah wa Qini A’dhaba n-Nar’, ‘My Lord!
