BARAAT NIGHT

Ṣuḥbah of Shaykh Muḥammad Mehmet ‘Adil
Dated 06 April 2020 / 13 Sha‘bān 1441 Akbaba Dergah, Morning Prayer

As-Salāmu ‘alaykum wa raḥmatu Llāh.

Aū‘dhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-Shayṭāni r-rajīm.

Waṣ-ṣalātu wa s-salāmu ‘alā Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Ākhirīn. Madad yā Rasūla Llāh, madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi Rasūli Llāh, madad yā Mashāyikhinā, dastūr yā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh al-F’āiz ad-Dāghistānī, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

Ṭarīqatunā ṣ-ṣuḥbah wa l-khayru fi l-jam‘iyyah.

Insha’Allah not tonight, but tomorrow night, is the 15th of Shaban, the Night of Baraat. It is a blessed night. All that was written for the past year until this night is all going to be completed, and all that is going to happen throughout the next year will be written down. These are the truthful things that the Holy Prophet ﷺ (SAW) informed us about.

With His ﷻ wisdom, Allah ‘azza wa jalla writes these things down a year in advance, every year, all that is going to occur. So this is His ﷻ wisdom. People may ask for things, and insha’Allah Allah ‘azza wa jalla will accept their requests, wants. May it all be means for goodness.

There are three recitations of Yasin Sherif. The first is for a long life with faith, the second is for provision, and the third is for protection. Then following these, there are some specific prayers, and then [one should] spend the night in worship, as much as one is capable of, doing prayers such as the tasbih prayer and the shukur prayer, and there is [also] a prayer which is 100 rakat, and those who are capable should perform this prayer.

Sheikh Mawlana used to perform it every year for sure, even in the years when he had to sit and pray. He performed this prayer [every Baraat] until the end of his time.

During this blessed night, of course, the door of prayers [is open], and He ﷻ asks his angels,“ Are there any who repent? Any who ask for forgiveness, provision, health— whatever they want—for the door of prayer is open until morning?” That’s why for this blessed night, insha’Allah, the occurrence of this disease will be lightened [starting] from now.

There are certain men who could ask Allah ﷻ to lift this calamity, and at once it would have been lifted off like a sharp knife cut. But [since] Allah’s ﷻ wisdom is in this event, these men do not go against Allah’s ﷻ order that has come from his wisdom. This man just observes the order that comes from Allah ﷻ . Within a minute it would have been like cut [i.e., stopped, as if cut off] with a knife. But there is a wisdom for this to happen, so these men do not ask [for it to be stopped]. So let’s see what will happen. We hope that after the 15th there shall be ease, insha’Allah. Let this be a lesson to people as well. May they come to the right path.

May Allah ﷻ bless it. May we reach to many more years with faith and Islam, insha’Allah.

Wa min Allāhi t-tawfīq, al-Fātiḥah
