Whatever the purpose these Khatms were recited for, may Allah accept itInsha Allah. May their wishes come true. If they have any troubles, may these troubles be gone. May the truth be apparent. May there be Barakah. May Allahsend down the Barakah which is in the sky. We are repenting. May Allah accept our repentance. It has fallen behind all over the world this year.
There is no rain also here. May Allah give a lot of rain. May it be good and full of Barakah. May it be harmless and without loss. And may people who have recited reach their goals. May the truth be apparent. May oppression come to end.
May Allah accept this. Li-LlahiTa’ala l-Fatihah.

WASWASA HARMS YOUR IMAN Saturday, 7 January 2023 / 14 Jumada al-Akhir 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ‘’Min sharri l-waswāsi l-kḥannās’’ “From the evil of the retreating whisperer.’‘ SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “The shaytan makes Waswasa. May Allah protect us from the evil of shaytan.” (Qur’ān 114:04).
Shaytan makes Waswasa to everyone. As long as that Waswasa doesn’t go out, it has no ruling. Some people think only they have Waswasa. As long as there is shaytan, he will give it out everywhere. But we should not pay attention to it. No need to go out and tell others, “This happened and that happened.” People who do so do it in order to weaken or remove people’s Iman.
Some people who claim to be Muslims and who have no mind or who are controlled by shaytan say, “You did this. It is right.” Or “It is wrong” and cause many people to have Waswasa. Waswasa harms people. May Allahprotect us. It harms your Iman.
Therefore, Allah accepts things we dowith “the shortcomings”. We shouldn’t doubt it. Because as long as you carry out the order of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, Allah excepts everything. Allah is forgiving. He
Page41
lovesforgiving. “Innaka afuwwun tuhibbu l-afu”, “You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness.”
Therefore, no need to have Waswasa in the things we do. However you do it, make your intention for Wudu/ablution and perform it. Perform your Wudu immediately at that moment, and Allah will accept it. If you do it for three hours, shaytan causes Waswasa then. You won’t be able to do it for three hours every time. And then you will quit it completely. You will quit Wudu and praying.
It is the same while praying as well. “Was it right? Or was it not?” It is right. Allah will accept it. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t need your praying. Just in order for you to carry out His order, Allah gave this order. When you carry out His order, Allah ‘Azza waJalla accepts it. Therefore, you shouldn’t make Waswasa. In everything they do, people can have unimaginable Waswasa. We shouldn’t pay attention to it. If it doesn’t go out, you should say, “I am doing this. Allah will accept it”. Don’t think if it was right or not. It is right with the permission of Allah.
This has increased lately. Various things occurred 2-3 years ago. “You spread it [virus]. No, I spread it” Waswasa was put in people. “If you go out and spread it, you will be held responsible for it too”. People with low Iman made it worse for people by saying so in Khutbahs/sermons in the mosques.
Therefore, no need for Waswasa. Whoever has whatever lifespan, whether you were a means or not it is the will of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. You cannot interfere in the work of Allah, Ḥāshā/far from it! Whoever is meant to die will die. Whoever is not meant to die will stay.
Therefore, there is nothing like “You did it. I did it.” Rely on Allah and keep on your way. Don’t let the Waswasa inside you go out. Because as we said, there is Waswasa. But don’t exaggerate it and don’t ruin your life. Make Shukr to Allah, keep on the way of Allah. Allahwill do what He wants. It is not in your or my hands. Therefore, carry out His orders.
Page42
That’s it.
May Allah protect all of us from Waswasa and the shaytan. Because Waswasa is from shaytan. He has captured the whole world and made it worse.
Therefore, it is important that people who are Muslims and Mu’mins rely on Allah and don’t listen to Waswasa that they don’t let their Waswasa out; to be more accurate.
May Allah protect all of us from the evil of shaytan and the evil of Waswasa.

LOVING HIM IS THE HIGHEST VIRTUE Sunday, 8 January 2023 / 15 Jumada al-Akhir 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
The love of our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is the highest virtue. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says whoever shows respect and honors our Holy Prophet attains goodness. People who don’t respect himand don’t love him as much as Allah does are either faithless or have weak Iman.
The most beloved servant of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And the most disliked person of the shaytan is our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Therefore, the more you honor our Holy Prophet, the better your work goes. You will be successful both here and hereafter. And you will attain the pleasure of Allah. The worship we perform and the Dua we make are accepted only for the honor of our Holy Prophet. A person who says regarding his own worship, “I prayed so much. I will enter paradise. I don’t need the intercession of our Holy Prophet” is mistaken. He is making a huge mistake. And shaytan strives to keep these people, those who are Muslim away from this way, away from the mercy of Allah.
As we live in the end of times, there is a lot of Fitnah, there are many groups. And the most dangerous is the one who doesn’t respect our Holy Prophet. Because who doesn’t respect him cannot succeed in anything. And he can go to Akhirah without Iman or with weak Iman.
Islam is the religion ordered by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to people. In Islam, Muslims strengthen their Iman by honouring our Holy Prophet. He is
Page44
the mercy for us. Allah send himas mercy to universes. And Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla mentioned him in Qur’an. But now they are saying “We look at Qur’an. We accept only Qur’an. We don’t need the Hadiths.”
There are Salafis and many others who are misleading people. They are removing the respect, honor and reverence to our Holy Prophet. They say he is just a person like us. He is a person like you, but he is the most beloved servant of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He was sent as mercy to you and the universes. If you dare reject him,you be at a loss. Allah made you from the Ummah of Muhammad and gave you so much virtue. If you don’t accept him, the blame and fault are yours. You will suffer from its result. May Allah protect us.
It is unclear if all of the worship performed will be accepted without him. Without showing respect to our Holy Prophet sometimes it is accepted and sometimes it is not. But for the honor of our Holy Prophet Allah accepts everything. With shortcomings or perfectly, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla accepts everything then. Therefore, the more we show respect to our Holy Prophet, the better it is.
There is Qasidah Burda that says “Honor our Holy Prophet as much as Christians honored ‘Isa ‘alayhi s-salam.”
Honor him as much except turning him into a God. Allah is One. And our Holy Prophet is the most beloved servant.
May Allah let all of us have the intercession of our Holy Prophet. May Allah let us go on his way. Don’t listen to these stupid people and obey shaytan. They make Waswasa and are worse than shaytan. Qur’an, Sunnah and Hadith are the base of the religion. Whoever separates them from each other is shaytan and will be together with shaytan.
May Allah protect us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

LEAD PEOPLE TO THE WAY Monday, 9 January 2023 / 16 Jumada al-Akhir 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet says if you become the means of guidance for someone, if Allah makes you the means, it is better for you than the whole world. This is what our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says. A person who becomes the means of guidance for people receives a reward more precious than this world for each person.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave so many rewards and Thawab in order for people to have goodness, for people to reach guidance. This world has no value. In the sight of Allah people are valuable. And a person who brings people to the good way, a person who is the means of guidance attains so much virtue and saves others. He brings great rewards and Thawab for them as well.
The time we are living in is a strange time. People are not clear. This matter is not meant for everyone. There are some people; we wish that they show the right way to people, whom they are the means of guidance for, and they do so without involving their personal interests and only for the pleasure of Allah. Because if they turn from the way just a little, they will leave the way later. Therefore, the intention must be pure. The intention must be good so that the result is also good. Your actions should not turn to be bad.Even if little, lead people to the right way and say, “This is the way. Keep on this way. It is the way of Allah
Page46
and our Holy Prophet. Keep on this way. Even if little, do not leave this way. This way is your salvation”. You should encourage them as much as you can without putting pressure and without forcing. When they come to the way, they will advance slowly with the permission of Allah.
Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was ordered to make people say “La ilahaillaLlahMuhammadunRasuluLlah”. When they say this word, the rest will follow slowly with the good intention. And the result will be good. They will be saved. You will have saved people from hell. Insha Allah may Allah make us and everyone successful in this beautiful work. May people attain this great virtueInsha Allah.
Even if only one person, it is ok. If you decide to put everyone on the right way, you won’t be able to bring anyone. But one by one, you can do it Insha Allah. May Allah give true Iman to all of us.
May our ends be good Insha Allah.

HIS WILL CANNOT BE QUESTIONED Tuesday, 10 January 2023 / 17 Jumada al-Akhir 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “LāYus’alu ‘Ammā Yaf’alu Wa Hum Yus’alūn’’ “He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.’’ (Qur’ān 21:23). SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says that you cannot question the actions of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and say, “Why did You do so? Why did this happen? What kind of thing is that? It is bad all over the world. Why is it so?” You cannot ask this.
The will of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla belongs only to Him. No one can intervene with Him. It is not from Adab to object the actions of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. However, people will be asked, “Why did you do this? Why are doing so? You did so many things. You did so much goodness and you did so much badness. Why did you do it?” People will be asked.
Therefore, people should mind themselves. They should mind their own condition and correct it. And for the things to be questioned, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla’s Door of Repentance is open. If you don’t want to be questioned for that, when you repent, all of it will be forgiven. If you don’t repent, you will be asked then, “Why did you do this and that?” The Mercy of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is endless. He is inviting people to His Mercy and Benevolence. But people are running away and saying
Page48
“We don’t want it”. They are opposing and going against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Not only reaching the knowledge of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, but people shouldn’t not even think of thinking about it. The knowledge of our whole universe is not even as a drop from the knowledge of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He gave us very little from His knowledge and formed this whole universe. Thinking about Him and going against Him are wrong. People with mind should think about this. You must accept and be pleased with everything He does.
There is a type of Awliya, as we said, who don’t interfere in anything. They don’t even make Dua asking for this or that to happen. They wish everything to be as it is, for Allahwanted it this way. They wish it to remain that way. But there are some Awliya who make Dua so that Allah helps, so that He reaches out to help people.
As we said, some Awliya don’t even make the smallest Dua. Their state is different. Some Awliya don’t show any movement in order not to be as if they are interfering in the business of Allah. They say, “We came like this. Shukr to Allah, we are in this condition.” They honour Allah and stand by the will of Allah. They honor Allah.
Some Awliya make Dua for people’s business, health and such. But as we said, people nowadays sometimes go against Allah by saying “Why did you do so?” If they repent, Allah will forgive. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t deprive anyone from His Mercy. Whoever seeks refuge in Him will be saved. But whoever goes against Him will never be in profit. May Allah protect all of us from the evil of our egos. May we be good servants of Allah.
May we be beloved servants of Allah Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

WORK IN WHAT YOU’RE SKILLFUL Wednesday, 11 January 2023 / 18 Jumada al-Akhir 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Each person is facilitated for what he has been created.” [Hadith] Allah ‘Azza waJalla gave each person a quality, a skill. They live based on their skills in this world. If they are happy and content with it, they will live in comfort. People nowadays have left it and are leading their lives only from the perspective of earning more and having more money.
People of old times used to hold the most suitable profession for them. One would be an apprentice first and then become a master. They lived on like this. They had their occupations for life. They used to teach well also. One would testify that his master is a master and do better work every time in the field they knew. They didn’t preoccupy themselves with other things.
But people nowadays say, “There is no money in this job. We should look for another job” and take professions which are not for them at all. And then they complain they can’t make ends meet, or they go bankrupt. You should continue with the work you are competent in. Don’t preoccupy yourself with the work you don’t know and don’t understand. Allah didn’t create you for this.
In order to provide for yourself and to worship Allah, Allah ‘Azza wa-
Page50
Jalla has shown you the direction and gave you a skill. A person who follows it and is competent in his work takes a load off his mind and feels at ease.
Therefore, whatever skill you have, keep on it. Go on with it and strive to make it even better by improving it. It will bring Barakah and peace. You will be pleased and content for what is given by Allah. So you will attain the pleasure of Allah. This is it.
You look at people nowadays, totally irrelevant people want to work as builders or contractors. They collect money from people and go bankrupt. And they make those people go bankrupt with them. Others want to make trade and do this and that. No! Allah will certainly give you as much as you live.
Therefore, this is not important. What’s important is to attain the pleasure of Allah,and to perform worship. What’s important is to make Him happy. We must make Shukr to Allah. May Allah give contentment to all of us.
May we be pleased with whatever He,gives Insha Allah.
May we all have Barakah

LIFE IS A DELUSIONAL ENJOYMENT Thursday, 12 January 2023 / 19 Jumada al-Akhir 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Wa Mā Al-Ĥayāatu Ad-Dunyā ‘Illā Matā’u Al-Ghurūr’’ “And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion.’’ SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm. (Qur’ān 57:20).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says that the life of this world is something from imagination. “Matā’u Al-Ghurūr”, “A deceiving enjoyment”(Qur’ān 57:20). It is a delusional temporary life. But people assume their lives to be something. Yet nothing will remain for them.
A person who travels around and lives for Dunya doesn’t feel the enjoyment of yesterday today. It is gone. But a person who performs worship lives by doing justice to his life. Otherwise, [he does so] not to his life but to something forgotten to the past. The past has no use. If you do something useless, you will not attain anything. You will have wasted your time. You will have wasted your life. If there is a memory, that has no benefit too. What is beneficial is to do good things.
You have to live in this world. Allah has given you favors. You may use those favors here and there. But wherever you go, you must go without forgetting Allah ‘Azza waJalla. You will have a good life and will live it with benefit then. Otherwise, people will have lived for nothing.What distinguishes people from other creatures is that people have Akhirah.
Page52
They have Akhirah; after they die and resurrect, they will live forever. Animals are different creatures. Everything in this world and universe has a lifetime. When it is over, they will not have something over again. But mankind and Jinns have Akhirah. They have an account; in terms of paradise or hell.
People may accept it or not accept it. Whoever accepts it will be in profit. Whoever doesn’t accept it will be at loss. And he won’t have a second chance. He won’t be able to say “I want to correct it”. You bossed around in this world, showed pride and arrogance. “They are crazy. They believe in something that doesn’t exist. I don’t believe. I am clever”. People who live by saying so will regret it a lot in Akhirah, but their regret will be useless.
Eat and drink well in this world. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says: “Kulūwashrabū”, “Eat and drink”(Qur’ān 07:31). But don’t waste and don’t forget Allah. Don’t forget the orders of Allah. Then you will have lived well in Dunya and will live well in AkihrahInsha Allah. May Allah give Iman to all of us. May He give mind and understanding. People who understand accept this. People who are mindless won’t accept it.
May Allah protect us.

WASWASA HARMS YOUR IMAN Saturday, 7 January 2023 / 14 Jumada al-Akhir 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.

Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: ‘’Min sharri l-waswāsi l-kḥannās’’ “From the evil of the retreating whisperer.’‘ SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, “The shaytan makes Waswasa. May Allah protect us from the evil of shaytan.” (Qur’ān 114:04).

LOVING HIM IS THE HIGHEST VIRTUE Sunday, 8 January 2023 / 15 Jumada al-Akhir 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem.

Allah made you from the Ummah of Muhammad and gave you so much virtue. If you don’t accept him, the blame and fault are yours. You will suffer from its result. May Allah protect us.
It is unclear if all of the worship performed will be accepted without him. Without showing respect to our Holy Prophet sometimes it is accepted and sometimes it is not. But for the honor of our Holy Prophet Allah accepts everything. With shortcomings or perfectly, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla accepts everything then. Therefore, the more we show respect to our Holy Prophet, the better it is.
There is Qasidah Burda that says “Honor our Holy Prophet as much as Christians honored ‘Isa ‘alayhi s-salam.”
Honor him as much except turning him into a God. Allah is One. And our Holy Prophet is the most beloved servant.
May Allah let all of us have the intercession of our Holy Prophet. May Allah let us go on his way. Don’t listen to these stupid people and obey shaytan. They make Waswasa and are worse than shaytan. Qur’an, Sunnah and Hadith are the base of the religion. Whoever separates them from each other is shaytan and will be together with shaytan.
May Allah protect us.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

LEAD PEOPLE TO THE WAY Monday, 9 January 2023 / 16 Jumada al-Akhir 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Our Holy Prophet says if you become the means of guidance for someone, if Allah makes you the means, it is better for you than the whole world. This is what our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says. A person who becomes the means of guidance for people receives a reward more precious than this world for each person.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave so many rewards and Thawab in order for people to have goodness, for people to reach guidance. This world has no value. In the sight of Allah people are valuable. And a person who brings people to the good way, a person who is the means of guidance attains so much virtue and saves others. He brings great rewards and Thawab for them as well.
The time we are living in is a strange time. People are not clear. This matter is not meant for everyone. There are some people; we wish that they show the right way to people, whom they are the means of guidance for, and they do so without involving their personal interests and only for the pleasure of Allah. Because if they turn from the way just a little, they will leave the way later. Therefore, the intention must be pure. The intention must be good so that the result is also good. Your actions should not turn to be bad.Even if little, lead people to the right way and say, “This is the way. Keep on this way. It is the way of Allah
Page46
and our Holy Prophet. Keep on this way. Even if little, do not leave this way. This way is your salvation”. You should encourage them as much as you can without putting pressure and without forcing. When they come to the way, they will advance slowly with the permission of Allah.
Our Holy Prophet sallaLlāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was ordered to make people say “La ilahaillaLlahMuhammadunRasuluLlah”. When they say this word, the rest will follow slowly with the good intention. And the result will be good. They will be saved. You will have saved people from hell. Insha Allah may Allah make us and everyone successful in this beautiful work. May people attain this great virtueInsha Allah.
Even if only one person, it is ok. If you decide to put everyone on the right way, you won’t be able to bring anyone. But one by one, you can do it Insha Allah. May Allah give true Iman to all of us.
May our ends be good Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

HIS WILL CANNOT BE QUESTIONED Tuesday, 10 January 2023 / 17 Jumada al-Akhir 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “LāYus’alu ‘Ammā Yaf’alu Wa Hum Yus’alūn’’ “He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.’’ (Qur’ān 21:23). SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm.
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says that you cannot question the actions of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and say, “Why did You do so? Why did this happen? What kind of thing is that? It is bad all over the world. Why is it so?” You cannot ask this.
The will of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla belongs only to Him. No one can intervene with Him. It is not from Adab to object the actions of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. However, people will be asked, “Why did you do this? Why are doing so? You did so many things. You did so much goodness and you did so much badness. Why did you do it?” People will be asked.
Therefore, people should mind themselves. They should mind their own condition and correct it. And for the things to be questioned, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla’s Door of Repentance is open. If you don’t want to be questioned for that, when you repent, all of it will be forgiven. If you don’t repent, you will be asked then, “Why did you do this and that?” The Mercy of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is endless. He is inviting people to His Mercy and Benevolence. But people are running away and saying
Page48
“We don’t want it”. They are opposing and going against Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.
Not only reaching the knowledge of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, but people shouldn’t not even think of thinking about it. The knowledge of our whole universe is not even as a drop from the knowledge of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He gave us very little from His knowledge and formed this whole universe. Thinking about Him and going against Him are wrong. People with mind should think about this. You must accept and be pleased with everything He does.
There is a type of Awliya, as we said, who don’t interfere in anything. They don’t even make Dua asking for this or that to happen. They wish everything to be as it is, for Allahwanted it this way. They wish it to remain that way. But there are some Awliya who make Dua so that Allah helps, so that He reaches out to help people.
As we said, some Awliya don’t even make the smallest Dua. Their state is different. Some Awliya don’t show any movement in order not to be as if they are interfering in the business of Allah. They say, “We came like this. Shukr to Allah, we are in this condition.” They honour Allah and stand by the will of Allah. They honor Allah.
Some Awliya make Dua for people’s business, health and such. But as we said, people nowadays sometimes go against Allah by saying “Why did you do so?” If they repent, Allah will forgive. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t deprive anyone from His Mercy. Whoever seeks refuge in Him will be saved. But whoever goes against Him will never be in profit. May Allah protect all of us from the evil of our egos. May we be good servants of Allah.
May we be beloved servants of Allah Insha Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq, Al-Fatiha.

WORK IN WHAT YOU’RE SKILLFUL Wednesday, 11 January 2023 / 18 Jumada al-Akhir 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Each person is facilitated for what he has been created.” [Hadith] Allah ‘Azza waJalla gave each person a quality, a skill. They live based on their skills in this world. If they are happy and content with it, they will live in comfort. People nowadays have left it and are leading their lives only from the perspective of earning more and having more money.
People of old times used to hold the most suitable profession for them. One would be an apprentice first and then become a master. They lived on like this. They had their occupations for life. They used to teach well also. One would testify that his master is a master and do better work every time in the field they knew. They didn’t preoccupy themselves with other things.
But people nowadays say, “There is no money in this job. We should look for another job” and take professions which are not for them at all. And then they complain they can’t make ends meet, or they go bankrupt. You should continue with the work you are competent in. Don’t preoccupy yourself with the work you don’t know and don’t understand. Allah didn’t create you for this.
In order to provide for yourself and to worship Allah, Allah ‘Azza wa-
Page50
Jalla has shown you the direction and gave you a skill. A person who follows it and is competent in his work takes a load off his mind and feels at ease.
Therefore, whatever skill you have, keep on it. Go on with it and strive to make it even better by improving it. It will bring Barakah and peace. You will be pleased and content for what is given by Allah. So you will attain the pleasure of Allah. This is it.
You look at people nowadays, totally irrelevant people want to work as builders or contractors. They collect money from people and go bankrupt. And they make those people go bankrupt with them. Others want to make trade and do this and that. No! Allah will certainly give you as much as you live.
Therefore, this is not important. What’s important is to attain the pleasure of Allah,and to perform worship. What’s important is to make Him happy. We must make Shukr to Allah. May Allah give contentment to all of us.
May we be pleased with whatever He,gives Insha Allah.
May we all have Barakah

LIFE IS A DELUSIONAL ENJOYMENT Thursday, 12 January 2023 / 19 Jumada al-Akhir 1444 Fajr Prayer, Akbaba Dergah.
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidal Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya RasulAllah, Madad Ya As’habi RasulAllah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani, Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Dastur. Tariqatunassohba, wa khayru fil jamiyya.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem: “Wa Mā Al-Ĥayāatu Ad-Dunyā ‘Illā Matā’u Al-Ghurūr’’ “And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion.’’ SadaqaLlāhu l-‘Aẓīm. (Qur’ān 57:20).
Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says that the life of this world is something from imagination. “Matā’u Al-Ghurūr”, “A deceiving enjoyment”(Qur’ān 57:20). It is a delusional temporary life. But people assume their lives to be something. Yet nothing will remain for them.
A person who travels around and lives for Dunya doesn’t feel the enjoyment of yesterday today. It is gone. But a person who performs worship lives by doing justice to his life. Otherwise, [he does so] not to his life but to something forgotten to the past. The past has no use. If you do something useless, you will not attain anything. You will have wasted your time. You will have wasted your life. If there is a memory, that has no benefit too. What is beneficial is to do good things.
You have to live in this world. Allah has given you favors. You may use those favors here and there. But wherever you go, you must go without forgetting Allah ‘Azza waJalla. You will have a good life and will live it with benefit then. Otherwise, people will have lived for nothing.What distinguishes people from other creatures is that people have Akhirah.
Page52
They have Akhirah; after they die and resurrect, they will live forever. Animals are different creatures. Everything in this world and universe has a lifetime. When it is over, they will not have something over again. But mankind and Jinns have Akhirah. They have an account; in terms of paradise or hell.
People may accept it or not accept it. Whoever accepts it will be in profit. Whoever doesn’t accept it will be at loss. And he won’t have a second chance. He won’t be able to say “I want to correct it”. You bossed around in this world, showed pride and arrogance. “They are crazy. They believe in something that doesn’t exist. I don’t believe. I am clever”. People who live by saying so will regret it a lot in Akhirah, but their regret will be useless.
Eat and drink well in this world. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says: “Kulūwashrabū”, “Eat and drink”(Qur’ān 07:31). But don’t waste and don’t forget Allah. Don’t forget the orders of Allah. Then you will have lived well in Dunya and will live well in AkihrahInsha Allah. May Allah give Iman to all of us. May He give mind and understanding. People who understand accept this. People who are mindless won’t accept it.
May Allah protect us.
