Be Ready Every Night
Shaykh Mehmet Adil al-Ḥaqqānī
(14 April 2023/ 23 Ramadan 1444)
As-Salāmu ‘alaykum wa-raḥmatu Llāhi wa-barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Aṣ-ṣalātu wa-s- Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-awwalīna wa-l-ākhirīn. Madad yā Rasūla Llāh, madad yā Sādātī Aṣḥābi Rasūli Llāh, madad yā Mashāyikhanā, dastūr Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistānī, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatuna ṣ-ṣuḥbah, wa-l-khayru fi l-jam’iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Innā anzalnāhu fī laylati l-qadr." (97:1) Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla sent down Sūratu l-Qadr so that people know the value of Laylatu l-Qadr, the Night of Power, how virtuous and how precious it is.
On that night Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n was sent down to our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. When it was sent down, it was the 27th of Ramaḍān. But since then, Laylatu l-Qadr changes every year. Laylatu l-Qadr is better than a thousand nights. A thousand nights make nearly 80 years. And that is a lifetime for people. So the virtue of this one night is equal to a lifetime.
It has so many virtues. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has hidden this Night so that people keep looking for its virtue. They say, consider every night of the year as Laylatu l-Qadr, and consider everyone as Khiḍr (as). When Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim went to his first Shaykh Süleyman Erzurumî Hazretleri and became affiliated with his dergah, dergahs were forbidden in that time. He went to his Shaykh secretly. He was a student then. He went to his dergah while a student. And he [the Shaykh] didn't leave that dergah as it was forbidden to wear turbans. In order not to interfere with signs of kufr, in order not to see or interact with things of kufr, he never went out of the dergah. People used to go there. Dhikr and ṣuḥbah were made.
The night when Shaykh Efendi came, the Shaykh said these blessed words. He said, "Consider every night as Qadr and everyone as Khiḍr." Shaykh Efendi pointed to two things in these words. So the night when Mawlānā came there, it was Laylatu l-Qadr. The holy one saw the rank of our Mawlānā and pointed to the rank of Khiḍr in order to show his value. That holy being said these words at that time but certainly it is a lesson for everyone.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said the Night is sometimes on the 27th, sometimes on the 23rd, sometimes on the 24th, sometimes today. Sometimes it is on a rainy night, sometimes on a clear night. Certainly, what our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says is true. To ṣaḥābah who asked him صلى الله عليه وسلم, he صلى الله عليه وسلم showed how it would be in that year. He صلى الله عليه وسلم indicated when it would happen. It is not necessarily today. You must look for it. You should have such intention all year round and every night when you pray. And Allāh جل جلاله will certainly let you reach it. It is a big gift for the ummah of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It shows the barakah of the month of Ramaḍān when Qur’ān was sent down. Qur’ān was sent over 23 years. But actually, Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n was sent into the heart of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم on Laylatu l-Qadr. It was given to him صلى الله عليه وسلم and sent to this world. Afterwards, coming bit by bit, our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم completed it and changed his جل جلاله world.
Therefore, this night, Laylatu l-Qadr must be revived. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says reviving is... Some people stay awake the whole night. But that is difficult. Shukr to Allāh جل جلاله, our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم showed us the easy way. When you pray two raka‘āt and go to bed with ablution and then get up for tahajjud, that night is counted as revived in the presence of Allāh جل جلاله. You revive that night based on a blessed word from our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. And you attain its virtue. On this night...
Certainly, we must know every night as Laylatu l-Qadr in our du‘ā’. But who reaches Laylatu l-Qadr in the way told by our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم attains great barakah. He will reach his goals, in shā’a Llāh. Not to be confused, our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم tells this du‘ā’: Allāhumma innaka ‘afūwwun tuḥibbu l-ʻafwa fā-‘fu ‘annī. Allāh جل جلاله, You جل جلاله love forgiving. You جل جلاله love granting. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla loves forgiving people's sins. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says He جل جلاله loves it as much as a man, with a camel, who had fallen asleep in a desert. When he woke up, there were neither his camel, nor a drop of water.
Nothing. Everything was gone with the camel. He was left in the desert with nothing. While searching, his camel appeared all of a sudden. As much as that man felt happy, even more does Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. "When My جل جلاله servants ask for forgiveness, I جل جلاله feel so happy."
Therefore, "Allāhumma innaka ‘afūwwun tuḥibbu l-ʻafwa fā-‘fu ‘annī" – "You جل جلاله are forgiving. You جل جلاله forgive sins. You جل جلاله love forgiving. Forgive me." You should make such du‘ā’. May Allāh جل جلاله forgive us. May Allāh جل جلاله protect us. May Allāh جل جلاله let us reach this Night, in shā’a Llāh.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla He جل جلاله send this sūrah. Sūratu l-Qadr, "Innā anzalnāhu fī laylati l-qadr" (97:1) – until the end, for honour of this Night. the holy blessed Night, Night of Power. It is a very strong, it is equal to thousand months. From, meaning – a thousand months it is like eighty years, something like this. It is equal to life of most of human beings. They're around this age or less or more. But it is equal for one night equal for whole life. Why? Because Allāh Azza wa-Jalla give this for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And on this Night, He جل جلاله sent whole Qur’ān from heaven to earth to human beings, to Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam. And it was that time, when receive this, it was twenty-seven of Ramaḍān.
For this, people every time they celebrate Night of Power in twenty-seven of Ramaḍān. But normally, it is only this when Qur’ān sent. Of course, Qur’ān sent in the twenty-three years He جل جلاله complete, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying Qur’ān. But normally, in whole Qur’ān sent to Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم heart for this earth from this Night. And all this barakah bless coming from that time. But normally, for Night of Power...
What is Night of Power? Night of Power, if somebody can reach it and there is sometime in this, you can, Allāh جل جلاله give you what, everything you want. So it is, many people they are looking after this, and many of ṣaḥābah was asking for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam which night this. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam this is he صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "It is secret because if I say to you which night, so you will not do anything, until only this night you can do and you can reach everything you want from dunyā and from ākhirah also, from this life and that life also." For this, to not make people too lazy, Allāh جل جلاله make it secret between days.
Whole year you can find, but most of you find in Ramaḍān. In Ramaḍān you can find and Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam every time he صلى الله عليه وسلم was saying it is twenty or twenty-one or twenty... Sometimes twenty-four, twenty-seven, twenty-six, twenty-nine. Every time he was saying this, because it was changing. Sometimes he صلى الله عليه وسلم said it is a clear night. Sometimes saying raining night. So he صلى الله عليه وسلم is most true saying – every year it changing, showing us it is changing. Don't think it is in one night you can reach it. You must for this make it secret. The wisdom with this – to look each night, to pray and to be in ready for this Night.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, who reach this Night and he reach it, he find, he must say: "Allāhumma innaka ‘afūwwun tuḥibbu l-ʻafwa fā-‘fu ‘annī." "O our Lord, You are, forgive me. You جل جلاله love to forgive," and Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla really He جل جلاله like to forgive, the most thing He جل جلاله like, He جل جلاله love. When He جل جلاله, from ḥadīth of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, giving example for this as one of man he is travelling in desert with camel and everything he has in his camel – his water, food, shadow [shade]. And even he ride and going camel no need for anything in desert. And he fell asleep, he slept. When he wake up, camel was running away, nothing at all, even one drop of water. And this man running this side, running that side. After he tired and he stop, come put his head down. And what he will do? He just waiting for to die. And suddenly his camel coming in front of him. How he will be happy?
He said, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, "O my Lord, I am your Lord, You جل جلاله are my servant." From his happiness, he mixed how he's to say "O my Lord, Allāh جل جلاله, You جل جلاله are my Lord. I am your servant." He make it opposite from his happiness. So Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla said to Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, He جل جلاله is more happy with who ask for forgiveness from Him جل جلاله. For this is Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم du‘ā’. You must make this du‘ā’ every night because maybe some, one of them, it will be Night of Power: "Allāhumma innaka ‘afūwwun tuḥibbu l-ʻafwa fā-‘fu ‘annī." "Forgive me. You جل جلاله love to forgive. You جل جلاله happy to forgive. Forgive me O Allāh جل جلاله." This is what Allāh جل جلاله give for Ummat Muḥammad ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
And all time, every time, one saying, Mawlānā was saying, his shaykh was saying: "You must know, you must think every night, Power Night. You must think everyone as Khiḍr ‘alayhi s- salām, Green Man." This is every time he was saying, when first time he met his Shaykh in Istanbul. He was young, maybe nineteen or eighteen years old. And that time it was the worst time for Turkey, which it was forbidden to even to teach Qur’ān, to they was hanging ‘ulamā’ who wearing turban. They was hanging and for Mawlānā Shaykh he was, but with his love to and he... Some of people, knowing this shaykh and they take permission and bring Mawlānā to his house. And this shaykh he wasn't go out of this house to not put this hat of kufr on his head – only his turban.
And he is in house making dhikr, making ṣuḥbah. And that night was bringing Mawlānā to his. First when he come, he say to, was he making ṣuḥbah, in ṣuḥbah saying: "You must know, you must think every night is Power Night and everyone, everyone you meet him, he is as Khiḍr ‘alayhi s-salām." And it was, this sign I think, that night it was real Qadr, Night of Power and he showing value of Mawlānā in that time, al-ḥamdu liLlāh.
This is very blessed days, Allāh جل جلاله make us to find this and to ask for good thing for Islām, for Muslims, in shā’a Llāh, for hidāyah for whole world, in shā’a Llāh.

كن مستعداً كل ليلة (14-4-2023)
.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ
أنزل الله عز وجل سورة القدر ليعرف الناس قيمة ليلة القدر، كم لها فضائل وكم هي ثمينة. في تلك الليلة اُنزِل القرآن عظيم الشأن على نبينا الكريم صلى الله عليه وسلم. عندما اُنزِل، كان اليوم السابع والعشرون من شهر رمضان. لكن منذ ذلك الوقت، تتغيّر ليلة القدر كل عام.
.
ليلة القدر خيرٌ من ألف شهر. ألف شهر يكون قرابة ثمانين سنة. وهذا هو عمر الناس. لذلك فإن فضل هذه الليلة يساوي العمر. إنها عظيمة جدا. اخفى الله عز وجل تلك الليلة ليبحث الناس دائما عن فضلها.
.
يقولون إعلم بأن كل ليلة من العام كليلة القدر، وإعلم أن كل شخص على أنه الخضر. عندما ذهب مولانا الشيخ ناظم إلى شيخه الأول سليمان أرضرومي وأصبح منتسبًا إلى زاويته، كانت الزوايا ممنوعة في ذلك الوقت. ذهب إلى الشيخ سرا. كان طالبا حينها. ذهب إلى الزاوية وهو طالب. والشيخ لم يترك تلك الزاوية حيث مُنِعَ من لبس العمامة. ولكي لا يتدخل في مظاهر الكفر، حتى لا يرى ويتفاعل مع أمور الكفر، لم يخرج من الزاوية ابداً. اعتاد الناس الذهاب إلى هناك. كان يقوم بالذكر والصحبة. في الليلة التي جاء فيها مولانا، قال هذا الكلام المبارك. قال "إعلم بأن كل ليلة هي ليلة القدر وكل شخص هو الخضر". أشار الشيخ المبارك هناك على شيئين. كانت الليلة التي جاء فيها مولانا، هي ليلة القدر. رأى الولي مرتبة مولانا وأشار الى مرتبة الخضر لإظهار قيمته.
.
لقد قال هذا الولي هذا الكلام هناك. لكنه بالتأكيد درس للجميع. قال نبينا الكريم صلى الله عليه وسلم إنه أحيانًا تكون يوم السابع والعشرين، وأحيانًا يوم الثالث والعشرين، وأحيانًا يوم الرابع والعشرين، وأحيانًا اليوم. أحيانًا تكون في ليلة ممطرة، وأحيانًا في ليلة صافية. طبعا ما يقوله نبينا الكريم حق. وقد بيّن ﷺ للصحابة الذين سألوه كيف ستكون هذه السنة. لقد أظهر ﷺ متى سيحدث ذلك. ليس بالضرورة اليوم. يجب أن تبحث عنها. يجب أن يكون لديك هذه النية على مدار السنة وكل ليلة عندما تُصلّي. وسيجعلك الله ﷻ بالتأكيد تصل إليها.
.
إنها هدية كبيرة من الله عز وجل لأمة نبينا الكريم ﷺ. إنها تُظهر بركة شهر رمضان عندما نزل القرآن. اُنزِل القرآن في ثلاثة وعشرين سنة. لكن في الحقيقة، اُنزِل القرآن عظيم الشأن على قلب نبينا الكريم ﷺ في ليلة القدر. أُعطي له ﷺ واُرسِلَ إلى هذه الدنيا. بعد ذلك، شيئا فشيئا، أكمله ﷺ نبينا الكريم وغيّر العوالم.
.
لذلك، هذه الليلة: يجب إحياء ليلة القدر. يقول نبينا الكريم صلى الله عليه وسلم أن الإحياء - بعض الناس يظلّون مستيقظين طوال
الليل، لكن هذا صعب. الحمد لله، نبينا الكريم ﷺ أظهر لنا الطريق السهل. عندما تُصلّي ركعتين وتنام على وضوء ثم تنهض لصلاة التهجّد، تُحسب تلك الليلة على أنك أحييتها في حضرة الله ﷻ. إنك تُحيي تلك الليلة بناء على كلام نبينا الكريم المبارك ﷺ. وتنال فضلها.
.
في هذه الليلة - بالتأكيد، يجب أن نعرف أن كل ليلة هي ليلة القدر في دعائنا. ولكن من وجد ليلة القدر بالطريقة التي أخبرها نبينا الكريم ﷺ نال بركة عظيمة. سيصل إلى كل ما يريده إن شاء الله. لا تتشوّش، يقول نبينا الكريم هذا الدعاء "اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي".
.
يحب الله عز وجل أن يغفر ذنوب الناس. يقول الله عز وجل أنه يحب ذلك كثيراً. تماما مثل رجل معه جمل نام في الصحراء. فلما أفاق، لم يجد لا جمله ولا قطرة ماء، لا شيء. ذهب كل شيء مع الجمل. تُرِكَ في الصحراء عارياً. أثناء البحث، ظهر جمله فجأة. بقدر ما شعر هذا الرجل بالسعادة، يسعد الله عز وجل أكثر. "عندما يطلب عبادي المغفرة، أشعر بالسعادة".
.
لذلك "اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي". يجب أن تدعوا بهذا الدعاء. الله ﷻ يغفر لنا جميعا. الله ﷻ يحفظنا. الله ﷻ يبلّغنا هذه الليلة إن شاء الله. ومن الله التوفيق . الفاتحة .

Be Ready Every Night
Shaykh Mehmet Adil al-Ḥaqqānī
(14 April 2023/ 23 Ramadan 1444)
As-Salāmu ‘alaykum wa-raḥmatu Llāhi wa-barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Aṣ-ṣalātu wa-s- Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-awwalīna wa-l-ākhirīn. Madad yā Rasūla Llāh, madad yā Sādātī Aṣḥābi Rasūli Llāh, madad yā Mashāyikhanā, dastūr Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistānī, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatuna ṣ-ṣuḥbah, wa-l-khayru fi l-jam’iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. "Innā anzalnāhu fī laylati l-qadr." (97:1) Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla sent down Sūratu l-Qadr so that people know the value of Laylatu l-Qadr, the Night of Power, how virtuous and how precious it is.
On that night Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n was sent down to our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. When it was sent down, it was the 27th of Ramaḍān. But since then, Laylatu l-Qadr changes every year. Laylatu l-Qadr is better than a thousand nights. A thousand nights make nearly 80 years. And that is a lifetime for people. So the virtue of this one night is equal to a lifetime.
It has so many virtues. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has hidden this Night so that people keep looking for its virtue. They say, consider every night of the year as Laylatu l-Qadr, and consider everyone as Khiḍr (as). When Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim went to his first Shaykh Süleyman Erzurumî Hazretleri and became affiliated with his dergah, dergahs were forbidden in that time. He went to his Shaykh secretly. He was a student then. He went to his dergah while a student. And he [the Shaykh] didn't leave that dergah as it was forbidden to wear turbans. In order not to interfere with signs of kufr, in order not to see or interact with things of kufr, he never went out of the dergah. People used to go there. Dhikr and ṣuḥbah were made.
The night when Shaykh Efendi came, the Shaykh said these blessed words. He said, "Consider every night as Qadr and everyone as Khiḍr." Shaykh Efendi pointed to two things in these words. So the night when Mawlānā came there, it was Laylatu l-Qadr. The holy one saw the rank of our Mawlānā and pointed to the rank of Khiḍr in order to show his value. That holy being said these words at that time but certainly it is a lesson for everyone.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said the Night is sometimes on the 27th, sometimes on the 23rd, sometimes on the 24th, sometimes today. Sometimes it is on a rainy night, sometimes on a clear night. Certainly, what our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says is true. To ṣaḥābah who asked him صلى الله عليه وسلم, he صلى الله عليه وسلم showed how it would be in that year. He صلى الله عليه وسلم indicated when it would happen. It is not necessarily today. You must look for it. You should have such intention all year round and every night when you pray. And Allāh جل جلاله will certainly let you reach it. It is a big gift for the ummah of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It shows the barakah of the month of Ramaḍān when Qur’ān was sent down. Qur’ān was sent over 23 years. But actually, Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n was sent into the heart of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم on Laylatu l-Qadr. It was given to him صلى الله عليه وسلم and sent to this world. Afterwards, coming bit by bit, our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم completed it and changed his جل جلاله world.
Therefore, this night, Laylatu l-Qadr must be revived. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says reviving is... Some people stay awake the whole night. But that is difficult. Shukr to Allāh جل جلاله, our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم showed us the easy way. When you pray two raka‘āt and go to bed with ablution and then get up for tahajjud, that night is counted as revived in the presence of Allāh جل جلاله. You revive that night based on a blessed word from our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. And you attain its virtue. On this night...
Certainly, we must know every night as Laylatu l-Qadr in our du‘ā’. But who reaches Laylatu l-Qadr in the way told by our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم attains great barakah. He will reach his goals, in shā’a Llāh. Not to be confused, our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم tells this du‘ā’: Allāhumma innaka ‘afūwwun tuḥibbu l-ʻafwa fā-‘fu ‘annī. Allāh جل جلاله, You جل جلاله love forgiving. You جل جلاله love granting. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla loves forgiving people's sins. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says He جل جلاله loves it as much as a man, with a camel, who had fallen asleep in a desert. When he woke up, there were neither his camel, nor a drop of water.
Nothing. Everything was gone with the camel. He was left in the desert with nothing. While searching, his camel appeared all of a sudden. As much as that man felt happy, even more does Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. "When My جل جلاله servants ask for forgiveness, I جل جلاله feel so happy."
Therefore, "Allāhumma innaka ‘afūwwun tuḥibbu l-ʻafwa fā-‘fu ‘annī" – "You جل جلاله are forgiving. You جل جلاله forgive sins. You جل جلاله love forgiving. Forgive me." You should make such du‘ā’. May Allāh جل جلاله forgive us. May Allāh جل جلاله protect us. May Allāh جل جلاله let us reach this Night, in shā’a Llāh.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla He جل جلاله send this sūrah. Sūratu l-Qadr, "Innā anzalnāhu fī laylati l-qadr" (97:1) – until the end, for honour of this Night. the holy blessed Night, Night of Power. It is a very strong, it is equal to thousand months. From, meaning – a thousand months it is like eighty years, something like this. It is equal to life of most of human beings. They're around this age or less or more. But it is equal for one night equal for whole life. Why? Because Allāh Azza wa-Jalla give this for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And on this Night, He جل جلاله sent whole Qur’ān from heaven to earth to human beings, to Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam. And it was that time, when receive this, it was twenty-seven of Ramaḍān.
For this, people every time they celebrate Night of Power in twenty-seven of Ramaḍān. But normally, it is only this when Qur’ān sent. Of course, Qur’ān sent in the twenty-three years He جل جلاله complete, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying Qur’ān. But normally, in whole Qur’ān sent to Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم heart for this earth from this Night. And all this barakah bless coming from that time. But normally, for Night of Power...
What is Night of Power? Night of Power, if somebody can reach it and there is sometime in this, you can, Allāh جل جلاله give you what, everything you want. So it is, many people they are looking after this, and many of ṣaḥābah was asking for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam which night this. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam this is he صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "It is secret because if I say to you which night, so you will not do anything, until only this night you can do and you can reach everything you want from dunyā and from ākhirah also, from this life and that life also." For this, to not make people too lazy, Allāh جل جلاله make it secret between days.
Whole year you can find, but most of you find in Ramaḍān. In Ramaḍān you can find and Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam every time he صلى الله عليه وسلم was saying it is twenty or twenty-one or twenty... Sometimes twenty-four, twenty-seven, twenty-six, twenty-nine. Every time he was saying this, because it was changing. Sometimes he صلى الله عليه وسلم said it is a clear night. Sometimes saying raining night. So he صلى الله عليه وسلم is most true saying – every year it changing, showing us it is changing. Don't think it is in one night you can reach it. You must for this make it secret. The wisdom with this – to look each night, to pray and to be in ready for this Night.
Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam saying, who reach this Night and he reach it, he find, he must say: "Allāhumma innaka ‘afūwwun tuḥibbu l-ʻafwa fā-‘fu ‘annī." "O our Lord, You are, forgive me. You جل جلاله love to forgive," and Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla really He جل جلاله like to forgive, the most thing He جل جلاله like, He جل جلاله love. When He جل جلاله, from ḥadīth of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, giving example for this as one of man he is travelling in desert with camel and everything he has in his camel – his water, food, shadow [shade]. And even he ride and going camel no need for anything in desert. And he fell asleep, he slept. When he wake up, camel was running away, nothing at all, even one drop of water. And this man running this side, running that side. After he tired and he stop, come put his head down. And what he will do? He just waiting for to die. And suddenly his camel coming in front of him. How he will be happy?
He said, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, "O my Lord, I am your Lord, You جل جلاله are my servant." From his happiness, he mixed how he's to say "O my Lord, Allāh جل جلاله, You جل جلاله are my Lord. I am your servant." He make it opposite from his happiness. So Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla said to Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, He جل جلاله is more happy with who ask for forgiveness from Him جل جلاله. For this is Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم du‘ā’. You must make this du‘ā’ every night because maybe some, one of them, it will be Night of Power: "Allāhumma innaka ‘afūwwun tuḥibbu l-ʻafwa fā-‘fu ‘annī." "Forgive me. You جل جلاله love to forgive. You جل جلاله happy to forgive. Forgive me O Allāh جل جلاله." This is what Allāh جل جلاله give for Ummat Muḥammad ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
And all time, every time, one saying, Mawlānā was saying, his shaykh was saying: "You must know, you must think every night, Power Night. You must think everyone as Khiḍr ‘alayhi s- salām, Green Man." This is every time he was saying, when first time he met his Shaykh in Istanbul. He was young, maybe nineteen or eighteen years old. And that time it was the worst time for Turkey, which it was forbidden to even to teach Qur’ān, to they was hanging ‘ulamā’ who wearing turban. They was hanging and for Mawlānā Shaykh he was, but with his love to and he... Some of people, knowing this shaykh and they take permission and bring Mawlānā to his house. And this shaykh he wasn't go out of this house to not put this hat of kufr on his head – only his turban.
And he is in house making dhikr, making ṣuḥbah. And that night was bringing Mawlānā to his. First when he come, he say to, was he making ṣuḥbah, in ṣuḥbah saying: "You must know, you must think every night is Power Night and everyone, everyone you meet him, he is as Khiḍr ‘alayhi s-salām." And it was, this sign I think, that night it was real Qadr, Night of Power and he showing value of Mawlānā in that time, al-ḥamdu liLlāh.
This is very blessed days, Allāh جل جلاله make us to find this and to ask for good thing for Islām, for Muslims, in shā’a Llāh, for hidāyah for whole world, in shā’a Llāh.

أنزل الله عز وجل سورة القدر ليعرف الناس قيمة ليلة القدر، كم لها فضائل وكم هي ثمينة. في تلك الليلة اُنزِل القرآن عظيم الشأن على نبينا الكريم صلى الله عليه وسلم. عندما اُنزِل، كان اليوم السابع والعشرون من شهر رمضان. لكن منذ ذلك الوقت، تتغيّر ليلة القدر كل عام.
.
ليلة القدر خيرٌ من ألف شهر. ألف شهر يكون قرابة ثمانين سنة. وهذا هو عمر الناس. لذلك فإن فضل هذه الليلة يساوي العمر. إنها عظيمة جدا. اخفى الله عز وجل تلك الليلة ليبحث الناس دائما عن فضلها.
.
يقولون إعلم بأن كل ليلة من العام كليلة القدر، وإعلم أن كل شخص على أنه الخضر. عندما ذهب مولانا الشيخ ناظم إلى شيخه الأول سليمان أرضرومي وأصبح منتسبًا إلى زاويته، كانت الزوايا ممنوعة في ذلك الوقت. ذهب إلى الشيخ سرا. كان طالبا حينها. ذهب إلى الزاوية وهو طالب. والشيخ لم يترك تلك الزاوية حيث مُنِعَ من لبس العمامة. ولكي لا يتدخل في مظاهر الكفر، حتى لا يرى ويتفاعل مع أمور الكفر، لم يخرج من الزاوية ابداً. اعتاد الناس الذهاب إلى هناك. كان يقوم بالذكر والصحبة. في الليلة التي جاء فيها مولانا، قال هذا الكلام المبارك. قال "إعلم بأن كل ليلة هي ليلة القدر وكل شخص هو الخضر". أشار الشيخ المبارك هناك على شيئين. كانت الليلة التي جاء فيها مولانا، هي ليلة القدر. رأى الولي مرتبة مولانا وأشار الى مرتبة الخضر لإظهار قيمته.
.
لقد قال هذا الولي هذا الكلام هناك. لكنه بالتأكيد درس للجميع. قال نبينا الكريم صلى الله عليه وسلم إنه أحيانًا تكون يوم السابع والعشرين، وأحيانًا يوم الثالث والعشرين، وأحيانًا يوم الرابع والعشرين، وأحيانًا اليوم. أحيانًا تكون في ليلة ممطرة، وأحيانًا في ليلة صافية. طبعا ما يقوله نبينا الكريم حق. وقد بيّن ﷺ للصحابة الذين سألوه كيف ستكون هذه السنة. لقد أظهر ﷺ متى سيحدث ذلك. ليس بالضرورة اليوم. يجب أن تبحث عنها. يجب أن يكون لديك هذه النية على مدار السنة وكل ليلة عندما تُصلّي. وسيجعلك الله ﷻ بالتأكيد تصل إليها.
.
إنها هدية كبيرة من الله عز وجل لأمة نبينا الكريم ﷺ. إنها تُظهر بركة شهر رمضان عندما نزل القرآن. اُنزِل القرآن في ثلاثة وعشرين سنة. لكن في الحقيقة، اُنزِل القرآن عظيم الشأن على قلب نبينا الكريم ﷺ في ليلة القدر. أُعطي له ﷺ واُرسِلَ إلى هذه الدنيا. بعد ذلك، شيئا فشيئا، أكمله ﷺ نبينا الكريم وغيّر العوالم.
.
لذلك، هذه الليلة: يجب إحياء ليلة القدر. يقول نبينا الكريم صلى الله عليه وسلم أن الإحياء - بعض الناس يظلّون مستيقظين طوال
الليل، لكن هذا صعب. الحمد لله، نبينا الكريم ﷺ أظهر لنا الطريق السهل. عندما تُصلّي ركعتين وتنام على وضوء ثم تنهض لصلاة التهجّد، تُحسب تلك الليلة على أنك أحييتها في حضرة الله ﷻ. إنك تُحيي تلك الليلة بناء على كلام نبينا الكريم المبارك ﷺ. وتنال فضلها.
.
في هذه الليلة - بالتأكيد، يجب أن نعرف أن كل ليلة هي ليلة القدر في دعائنا. ولكن من وجد ليلة القدر بالطريقة التي أخبرها نبينا الكريم ﷺ نال بركة عظيمة. سيصل إلى كل ما يريده إن شاء الله. لا تتشوّش، يقول نبينا الكريم هذا الدعاء "اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي".
.
يحب الله عز وجل أن يغفر ذنوب الناس. يقول الله عز وجل أنه يحب ذلك كثيراً. تماما مثل رجل معه جمل نام في الصحراء. فلما أفاق، لم يجد لا جمله ولا قطرة ماء، لا شيء. ذهب كل شيء مع الجمل. تُرِكَ في الصحراء عارياً. أثناء البحث، ظهر جمله فجأة. بقدر ما شعر هذا الرجل بالسعادة، يسعد الله عز وجل أكثر. "عندما يطلب عبادي المغفرة، أشعر بالسعادة".
.
لذلك "اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي". يجب أن تدعوا بهذا الدعاء. الله ﷻ يغفر لنا جميعا. الله ﷻ يحفظنا. الله ﷻ يبلّغنا هذه الليلة إن شاء الله. ومن الله التوفيق . الفاتحة .
