Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ

(Qur’ān 39:07)

“Wa Lā Taziru Wāziratun Wizra ‘Ukhra”

“And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, one cannot bear someone else’s sin. A person will be punished for his own sin, if he commits a sin and doesn’t repent. If he repents, his sin will be removed. But if he doesn’t repent, no one will bear his sin or be punished instead of him.

But a person who shows the bad way to others and makes them do evil is punished again for every person who makes that badness [imitating him]. But as we said, if a person sins himself and repents, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla forgives him. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is forgiving.

But if he does it and forces it upon others, and even if he doesn’t force it, “I did this, it’s good. You should do it too. Let me teach you how this evil is done, how this sin is committed.” If he teaches him, he will also bear his punishment. Because it harms someone else. Surely, whoever harms others will be punished.

They say they are doing so much evil in the world. There are people who think they are smart. Even Muslims say so, “Why is Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla not punishing them?” How do you know that He ﷻ isn’t? Every evil has a punishment. As we said, if one doesn’t repent, he will bear that punishment. People mustn’t have doubt about that.

But Allāh ﷻ is forgiving. That forgiveness for everyone. We can’t say, “His ﷻ forgiveness is for this but not for that.” In order not to be punished, one must repent and ask forgiveness. He must repent. We must repent from the sins we make, from the evil we do. If someone has violated someone else’s right, he has to ask him for forgiveness. That’s what it is.

“This man did so and so. He perished that many people. He did so much evil. He oppressed so much. He’s wandering like a pig and doing evil.” Don’t be afraid at all. Also, Ḥāshā (far from it); questioning is harm to you also. It is Terk Adab, forsaking adab. It is lack of adab towards Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

Are you going to teach Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla His ﷻ work? Allāh ﷻ is Al-Qādir, Al-Muktadir. He ﷻ does whatever He ﷻ wants. You cannot question Him ﷻ! It is absolutely impermissible! Even if such a thought passes inside you, you must repent and ask forgiveness. If He ﷻ wants, the whole world dies.

You can’t say “Why?” Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the owner of everything. He ﷻ does whatever He ﷻ wants. And He ﷻ doesn’t do what He ﷻ doesn’t want.

May Allāh ﷻ give us and people mind and understanding. May Allāh ﷻ help us to not oppress, not commit sins and ask forgiveness for the sins we’ve made, in shā’a Llāh.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

Our Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says,

يَسِّرُوا ولا تُعَسِّرُوا، بَشِّرُوا ولا تُنَفِّرُوا

“Yassirū wa-lā tu‘assirū, Bashshirū wa-lā tunaffirū”

“Make things easy and do not make them difficult; give people good tidings and do not make them run away.”

Make it easy, he ﷺ says. ‎Don’t make it difficult. Don’t cause difficulty to people.

As much worship a person does, Allāh ﷻ accepts it. If you tell someone, “Your worship is not accepted”, that man on woman will not do it a second time saying, “It’s already not accepted, I won’t do it again.” However, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla accepts a person’s worship as long as it is for Allāh’s ﷻ pleasure. There is no obstacle for it not to be accepted.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says through the blessed tongue of our ‎Prophet ﷺ, let it be easy. Make it easy. Don’t make it difficult for people. If you say, “You must do this. You must do that. You will do this. You will do that,” it will become difficult upon a person. He will say, “I can’t do it” and will give up on everything then.

However, even if it’s a little [deed], it lights the heart of man. It makes his works go well. When one doesn’t forget Allāh ﷻ – of course, when he stands to pray, a person remembers Allāh ﷻ. The same goes for when he makes ablution.

Therefore, the easier it is, even if it is a little, you mustn’t make it difficult upon a person saying, “You must do this much. You must do that much.” Of course, as long as a person has not forgotten Allāh ﷻ, Allāh ﷻ will be pleased with the servant.

“Bashshiru”, “بَشِّرُوا”, “Give good tidings,” he ﷺ says. “You did this, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is pleased with you, our ‎Prophet ﷺ is pleased with you.” Most people already have waswasa that their worship is not accepted, “I wonder if it is accepted or not?”

He takes ablution for hours and when he stands to pray he says, “I wonder if made an intention?” When he wants to make dhikr or take a lesson, “I wonder if I made the rābita properly?” There is no difficulty in rābita. Remember your Shaykh, your Murshid; and that’s enough.

There are many people who strive, “I’ve been trying to make rābita for an hour.” They are making it difficult. He will never do it after that. When you make rābita, the Shaykh will connect you. After you remember him, by his means, you remember our ‎Prophet ﷺ, you remember Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. This is all an ease for you.

They don’t want difficulty for you. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and the murshids who go on his ﷺ way always show ease. The biggest example is our Shaykh, Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim.

He was very difficult upon himself, upon his ego. He would do everything, every Sunnah. But he would show ease for others. Because of him, thousands, tens of thousands of people started from zero and reached the most beautiful conditions.

May Allāh ﷻ raise his maqām. May Allāh ﷻ grant beauty and guidance to people, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

When Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla first descended the Qur’ān upon our ‎Prophet ﷺ, there was no prayer then. He ﷻ said, make Qiyām at night. Get up at night and make dhikr of Allāh ﷻ, Allāh ﷻ sees you. The virtue at night is greater than daytime because it is more difficult. This is what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla commanded.

Therefore, waking up at night to pray tahajjud and praying two rak’āt Qiyamu l-Layl before going to bed is considered as if you’ve worshipped the whole night. Praying two rak’āt before going to bed at night, and praying even two rak’āt tahajjud when you wake up, will be as if you have revived the whole night.

There are some people who desire to stand in prayer all night long. If they do so, it would be a bit difficult. There are people who work at night. There are people who work at daytime.

Therefore, the night state is more intense, heavier. And its reward is greater. It is greater in every regard. It is one to a thousand. Two rak’āt of night prayers are more virtuous than a thousand rak’ah of daytime prayers.

People these days don’t know virtues. They don’t know thawāb. If you didn’t perform night prayers, at least pray during the daytime, perform your prayer, perform your worship. May Allāh ﷻ forgive us all, in shā’a Llāh.

Today, in shā’a Llāh, is the last Wednesday of the month of Safar. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ make it a means to goodness. May this heaviness have gone away at night, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ

(Qur’ān 30:41)

“Žahara l-Fasādu Fī l-Barri Wa l-Baĥri Bimā Kasabat ‘Aydī n-Nāsi”

“Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned.” Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, fasād (corruption) has appeared everywhere. Fasād means deviating from the right way. At sea and on land, He ﷻ says. Everywhere, evil and fasād has multiplied and came out. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says that the balance of everything is broken.

How can these things happen? It is because of the doings of mankind. How can mankind do so much and pollute that much? He has polluted everywhere. Even huge oceans are in a polluted condition. Every place whether earth, stone, soil, mountains, everywhere is the same because of what people have done. There is both apparent filth and spiritual filth.

The spiritual filth has become even worse. Have they had enough? No, they never stop. They continue. And when they continue, harm is upon them.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave us earth as clean. He ﷻ gave it in a good state. He ﷻ said, use it well. No matter how much […] there is, you’re doing the opposite of what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says. After that, they complain. This is done with their own hands. The punishment and evil of the evils made with their own hands is again faced by mankind.

The religion of Islām is the religion of beauty, cleanliness and goodness. Do the best of everything, He ﷻ says. Eat and drink the best food. Don’t waste, He ﷻ says. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has not forbade it.

The things He ﷻ forbid are the dirty and impure things. He ﷻ says, don’t do them. Don’t drink alcohol. Alcohol is not clean, it is najasah, it is filth. Don’t eat pork. It is also filth. No matter how much forbidden things there are, they are harmful to people to eat and drink.

We mentioned a few things, but most of the forbidden things have been forbidden for the benefit of people, not for their harm. But mankind thinks going against Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is a great skill. He will be punished while in this world. And in ākhirah – may Allāh ﷻ protect them.

May Allāh ﷻ reform people. People think themselves more civilized. The more they say they are civilized, the more they’ve gone towards ignorance. They are running after ignorance. They strive to experience badness as much as they can not leaving anything behind.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us all. The harm they’ve done will not touch us, in shā’a Llāh. Because everywhere, the air, water, sea and soil, as we said, have become filthy and dirty. But those with Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, from His ﷻ mercy towards believers, they will not be touched by this harm.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us all. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الصِّدِّيقُونَ ۖ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ

(Qur’an 57:19)

“Wa Al-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū Billāhi Wa Rusulihi~ ‘Ūlā’ika HumuAş-Şiddīqūna ۖ Wa Ash-Shuhadā’u”

“And those who have believed in Allah and His messengers – those are [in the ranks of] the supporters of truth and the martyrs.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Those who believe in Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, their maqams and ranks are high in the sight of Allāh ﷻ. Those who do not believe in Allāh ﷻ are miserable. Their end is bad. While living in dunyā, people know the right way or things they think are right.

There is the right way, and there is another way according to their own minds. Whoever follows them will go to either happiness or wretchedness. Which means he will go to either heaven or hell.

Therefore, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla showed people two ways. And He ﷻ says, “Come to the right way. Come to My paradise. Come to the House of Peace. Come to beauty. Do not follow shayṭān and go on that way. Don’t go on the way of wretchedness, the way of hell.”

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla doesn’t oppress people. And certainly, His ﷻ words are the truth.

Who comes to this way will find beauty which is forever, for eternity. They say “forever” in dunyā. Eternity means eternal. But what they call “forever” in dunyā is until death. The main life is after death. Therefore, those who go on that way, it is not only until death. The main life is after death.

Therefore, Allāh ﷻ has certainly given mankind mind and understanding. If he thinks and listens on the right way, he won’t get out of the way. He will follow that way so that he will be in salvation both here and hereafter. His dunyā will be peaceful. And he will be happy in ākhirah.

May Allāh ﷻ not separate us all from the right way. May He ﷻ guide people. Because people now say “democracy” and I don’t know what. “I think like this. This is my opinion.” Let your opinion remain for you, and go on the way of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

May Allāh ﷻ help us, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

‘وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا’

(Qur’ān 20:124)

“Wa Man ‘A’rada an Dhikrī Fa inna Lahu Ma’īshatan Dankāan”

“And whoever turns away from My remembrance – indeed, he will have a depressed life.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Those who forget Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and immerse into dunyā, their life will be difficult, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. A person who forgets Allāh ﷻ will never be happy. Because people should remember Allāh ﷻ once a day, if not every minute.

But people don’t even remember Him ﷻ once a day; not even once a week or once a month. There are many people who never even remember Allāh ﷻ throughout their whole lives. That’s why, mankind is always in distress.

And that’s the trouble of people. Because everything is in the Hand of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He ﷻ is the one who gives you beauty. He ﷻ is the one who gives you goodness. He ﷻ is the one who gives you blessings. But it never even occurs to you to thank Allāh ﷻ. Instead, you think about your own troubles, “This is expensive, this is cheap. This is beautiful, this is bad.”

You pass your life like that, but it passes in distress. There’s no comfort. There’s no beauty. There’s always trouble, fights, hardship, not getting along with people, swearing at people and them swearing at you, no goodness among the husband and wife or among the family. That’s all because they do not remember Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

If they remember Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and make Dhikr of Him ﷻ – to make Dhikr means to remember Allāh ﷻ, to remember Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. When that comes to one’s mind, he says, “Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla sees me. He ﷻ hears me.”

“الله حاضري، الله ناظري، الله معي”. “Allāh ﷻ hādiri, Allāh ﷻ nādhiri, Allāh ﷻ ma’ī”, “Allāh ﷻ is present with me, Allāh ﷻ sees me, Allāh ﷻ is with me.” If a person knew this and truly believed, “Allāh ﷻ is with me,” everything would be easy and beautiful. Otherwise, it would be neither easy nor beautiful.

This trouble, the biggest trouble is not remembering Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and not mentioning Him ﷻ. That is why, this world nowadays is getting worse day by day. Because before, people used to remember Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and mention Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

Now, they are busy with a lot of “ما لا يعني”, “Ma la yani” meaningless things. Mankind forgets Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and gets caught up in other things. And while he is saying, “Let me do this. Let me do that,” he gets into trouble himself and strives to figure out how to get out of it. The more he strives, the more he sinks.

May Allāh ﷻ protect people. May He ﷻ grant them guidance so that they can be happy, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

It is obligatory for all of us to honor our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Honoring our ‎Prophet ﷺ means that the mercy and forgiveness of Allāh ﷻ will be upon us. Those who do not know have lost. Because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created all these worlds for his ﷺ sake.

Therefore, to honor the people of dunyā is either for material benefit or because of shayṭān’s deception. If mankind is to honor someone, then he should honor what is for the sake of Allāh ﷻ. We should honor the people who worship Allāh ﷻ, those who show the way, who save people from disbelief. Because īmān is the most precious thing.

Those who help people bringing them to īmān, those who teach those who do not know are those who came after our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, the Companions, the Caliphs, Ahlu l-Bayt. It is good to honor them.

Whom is it not good to honor? Honoring who does what Allāh ﷻ does not want is a useless, not beneficial and harmful act. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ show the right way to people. Pursuing what’s not right, the useless things that are in vain, honoring, respecting and valuing people who are of no benefit, as we said, most of the time doesn’t benefit you. Most of the time, it is harm.

Nowadays people honor people who are famous; any kind of fame, no matter whom they are. They strive to be like them. They make people honor and respect them. But as we said, to honor those who are not on the way of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is of no benefit at all. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. They are things that people’s egos honor. If you leave the ego free, it will make you perish, may Allāh ﷻ protect us.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us from the evil of our egos. And may He ﷻ give people mind and understanding so that they may know what is good and what is bad, and give value accordingly. There are many people who value valueless things, tinplate, rocks and soil but do not value jewelry and gold.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ make us from those who value them, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, in which the ayah means, whoever does evil and commits a sin then blames that sin on an innocent person has committed a great sin. This sin will become twofold because he both committed a sin and slandered someone else. He has accused someone. He caused trouble to someone else and harmed him.

This is what most people are doing today. That is, to harm people. People commit a crime or commit a sin in order to harm a person or do evil to a person. That person either goes to jail because of them or another bad thing happens to him. That is evil and a great sin. That sin also falls under violating other people’s rights.

If you committed a sin, Allāh ﷻ forgives you. But if you burden someone else with a sin and cause them harm, then you will surely be punished in hell in the hereafter. Whatever your purpose may be, don’t think that you will go unaccounted for condemning an innocent person to be guilty, making his life miserable. You will surely give an account for that. And you will regret it very much.

But that regret will be of no use. Because, as we said, the right of Allāh ﷻ is easy. Allāh ﷻ is Forgiving. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla does not interfere with His ﷻ servants’ rights. A servant should forgive what’s done to himself. Of course, mankind can forgive for small things. But if someone ruins or destroys another person’s life, I do not think that he may forgive him.

So, there are many people who do this in this time. Those who do this should think, “How will we get out of this later?” Especially those who are believers or Muslim. Now he says he is a Muslim, yet commit acts for a certain purpose.

The principle that says everything is permissible to reach the goal is a communist principle. He harms everything and everyone, he kills, he breaks, he does all kinds of filth and evil to reach his goal. This is a known fact. Unfortunately, some who claim are Muslims have also adopted this. They are imitating it.

May Allāh ﷻ give them mind and understanding. May Allāh ﷻ correct them. May Allāh ﷻ improve them so that they may turn back from their mistakes and save themselves. May Allāh ﷻ protect us.

Turks say, “May Allāh ﷻ protect us from the false slanders of the servants.” May Allāh ﷻ protect us from slander and evil. May He ﷻ protect us also from doing this evil to anyone, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allahi tawfeeq, al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Dalail al-Khayrāt, Ayāt, Surahs, Yasin Sharif, Tasbihāt, Tahlilāt, Salawat. Our brothers have recited them all. We gift them now here firstly to our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, his ﷺ Ahlu l-Bayt and ṣaḥābah, souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya.

To the souls of our Mashayikh. To the souls of all our passed ones. For goodness to come and evil to be gone. May those who have recited reach whatever good goals they have. For happiness here and hereafter. Li-Llahi Ta’āla.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ

(Qur’ān 09:119)

“Yā ‘Ayyuhā l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū t-Taqū l-Llaha Wa Kūnū Ma’a s-Sādiqīn”

“O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

It is Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla’s order to be with the truthful and good ones, O believers. Because they are the beloved servants of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They do not harm people. Goodness comes from them. They stay away from harm.

Even if it’s heavy upon their egos, they still want goodness for everyone. They do not want evil. No matter what hardship there is, they never torment people. They do not do evil because they know that the rights of others are bigger than the rights of Allāh ﷻ.

How can that be? Allāh ﷻ forgives. Allāh ﷻ forgives everything, but a servant doesn’t forgive. If you don’t go to him and ask forgiveness for his right, that right remains with him. But with Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, even if a person does anything, after repenting and seeking forgiveness, he is forgiven.

On the other hand, the unforgiven right, as we said, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla does not interfere with the rights of the servant. You must only give that right to the servant. You will give his right so that he forgives you, then Allāh ﷻ will forgive you.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla forgives everything, He ﷻ says in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n. He ﷻ forgives everything after not associating partners with Him ﷻ, after not making Sharīk with Him ﷻ. Even if he associates partners with Him ﷻ, then asks for forgiveness and repents, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will forgive him too. He didn’t insist.

When one asks forgiveness, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla certainly forgives all his major and minor sins. Except for a person’s rights, a servant’s right or if he harmed an animal and did something to it unjustly.

There is a justified one and an unjustified one. The justified is when a mischievous animal does something wrong, it is permissible to punish it. But if you torture an animal for no reason, then you have a right burdened upon you.

Of course, rights are important. The most important thing is justice. Giving everyone their rights, giving everything its due is obligatory for a person. It is what one must do. When everyone respects others’ rights, everything becomes good.

When they violate them, the world is as we see it. There are no rights, there’s no justice, there’s nothing. And then people wonder why this is happening. No need to be surprised. There is a price for everything.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May we not violate anyone’s rights, neither a servant’s, nor an animal’s, nor anything, not even a water’s. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam cursed the one who urinates into water. That’s a right too. Contaminating that clean water has a punishment too.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ protect us all from badness. May Allāh ﷻ protect us from evil. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

إِن تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ

(Qur’ān 04:31)

“In tajtanibu kabāir”

“If you avoid the major sins.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, “Beware of the major sins.” There are the major sins and minor sins. Of course, Allāh ﷻ forgives them all. But He ﷻ says, “Don’t approach the major sins.” And don’t approach things that will open the door to them.

He ﷻ says, “Guard your eyes from ḥarām.” And be careful about what you eat and drink; make sure it’s from ḥalāl. Don’t violate anyone’s rights. Pay attention to that. Because a person who violates rights can also be subject to other sins.

Violating rights is a sin. It’s one of the major sins: to usurp someone else’s rights. It’s very much found in this time. And it can be material and spiritual. Materially, it is by fraud, deceiving people and taking their money.

Spiritually, it is by coming up with various paths; paths that are not in Islām. Anyone who enters through that door will be destroyed. He will commit sin without even knowing it.

That’s why, this time is the greatest danger. Since the world was created, there has never been a time like this. Of course, things have always happened. Some said, “Worship me, worship this, worship that.” They forced them to do it, or people were ignorant.

Now, people think they themselves know everything. They look at this machine in their hands and say, “We know everything.” However, we live in “Jahiliyyah ath-Thaniyah”, “The Second Age of Ignorance” says our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. We must be careful about that.

Sin is a burden. It is an evil for mankind. One must repent, seek forgiveness and return to the right way. Because, as we said, in this time, committing sins has become very easy. Doing good has become difficult. Obeying Allāh ﷻ has become difficult.

Therefore, we must be careful about that. One should not persist in committing sins. If you persist, the sin remains. If you repent and seek forgiveness, Allāh ﷻ will forgive you.

May Allāh ﷻ forgive us all. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ protect us all from sins and evil. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

“Laysa Kamithlihi Shayʾun Wa Huwa as-Samīʿu al-Baṣīr”

“There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

There isn’t anything like Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. His ﷻ Essence doesn’t fit within the limits of imagination. Therefore, our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, don’t investigate or ask about Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla’s Essence. Look at His ﷻ power, what He ﷻ has done and His ﷻ creations. Even they challenge your mind. It’s not such an easy thing.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is transcendent to space and time. There is neither space nor time for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They are creations. They have been created too. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla Himself created time and place. He ﷻ cannot enter into what He ﷻ has created. That’s impossible. Therefore, it is necessary to know this.

There is a group of people who call themselves and others polytheists, infidels. They make Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla a place and body. May Allāh ﷻ protect us, they have fallen into kufr. A person who assigns a body for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and gives Him ﷻ weight, place and time will lose his īmān.

Therefore, nothing resembles Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. This is what you must know. And as we said, time and space are things He ﷻ created. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created the entire universe. His ﷻ creating is eternal.

Therefore, mankind, a believer should know his manners towards Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He must know everything our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said and explained. Those who follow his ﷺ way will be saved, shukr to Allāh ﷻ. Those who do not follow his ﷺ way will lose their īmān. After that, may Allāh ﷻ protect us, they may leave this world without īmān.

That’s why, a person must be on a way. Now, most people say about every man who appears, “He is like this and like that,” and those ignorant people believe what he says without understanding.

The way of ṭarīqah is the way of truth, the way of adab, the way of knowledge, the way of spiritual awareness. And with the barakah and īmān found in ṭarīqah, a person lives in īmān until his last breath, and leaves dunyā upon īmān. Because this way is the way of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. The way he ﷺ showed is the way of salvation.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us from evil, from fitnah and from being deceived. Ameen. May we not see the good as bad and the bad as good, in shā’a Llāh. May we see the bad as bad and the good as good, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ not separate us from the right way.

Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says in the Ḥadīth Qudsi, a ḥadīth said by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, “كُلُّ ابْنِ آدَمَ خَطَّاءٌ”. Every son of Adam is a being who sins. All mankind make mistakes, faults and sins the most. Because, except for prophets, all humans make mistakes and have flaws. There is no person without flaws. Everyone has mistakes, flaws and sins.

Prophets are rare – because they had already been sent for a certain time. But in general, people sin and make mistakes. And Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “I am The Forgiver. Let them ask forgiveness and I will forgive them. No matter how many sins they have, let them seek forgiveness from Me, and I will forgive them.”

There is no human without sin. That’s why, people sometimes think, “I’ve committed many sins, no matter what happens, from now on even if I do good, it won’t work.” There’s no such thing. The blessed word of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is open to everyone as a mercy for humanity. The door of mercy, the door of forgiveness is open. Until the end of time, until the sun rises from the west and sets in the east, that door of forgiveness remains open.

Therefore, no matter how many sins you’ve committed, Allāh ﷻ forgives you. We must ask Allāh ﷻ for forgiveness every day. Because when one asks for forgiveness, sins are changed into good deeds. Because you asked forgiveness, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla erases them and puts rewards and thawāb in their place.

The grace and generosity of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is infinite. Mankind does not appreciate this. He doesn’t value it. Yet, the true value lies there.

May Allāh ﷻ forgive us all, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

(Qur’ān 49:10)

“Innama l-mu’minūna ikhwa fa-‘aslihu bayna akhawaykum wa t-Taqu Allaha La’allakum Turhamoon”

“The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, believers are brothers. Brotherhood of īmān is more important than actual brotherhood.

In the time of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, there were many Muslim ṣaḥābah who had kāfir brothers. The brotherhood of old times is not like nowadays. Now it doesn’t hold the same importance. It was very important back then.

Fatherhood and brotherhood were the most important thing in life. But when you embrace Islām, they are not important. What’s important is brotherhood on the way of Allāh ﷻ. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives it great importance.

Believers, Muslims are brothers. They should help each other. They should love each other. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says in ḥadīth sharif, “Do not be jealous of one another. Do not be hostile to one another. Do not harm one another.”

A Muslim should help his Muslim brother in any way he can, as much as he can. Of course, he can’t do everything, but it would still be good to at least support him, as much as he can. To help him and defend him is also very important, says our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

A believer who defends his believer brother in his absence, has a great thawāb and reward. Now, people accuse others of things that are not true. Those who defend them will attain great thawāb and reward. Because people constantly form su’ zann (bad assumptions) about others.

When they form these bad assumptions, enmity, resentment and hurt sometimes arises among them. Therefore, so that this enmity between them is removed, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says this, Muslims are brothers. Even if your Mu’min brother is not your actual brother, he is more important than a blood brother who is not on the right way.

So to reconcile them brings Allāh’s ﷻ mercy upon people. Mercy is the most important thing. People await material benefit. But the mercy and compassion of Allāh ﷻ is the most important thing for people. People don’t appreciate or value it. They don’t give it importance.

May Allāh ﷻ grant love. May Allāh ﷻ help us all. May shayṭān not enter among us. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَن يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

(Qur’ān 03:135)

“Wa Al-Ladhīna ‘Idhā Faalū Fāĥishatan ‘Aw Žalamū’Anfusahum Dhakarū Allaha Fāstaghfarū Lidhunūbihim Wa ManYaghfiru Adh-Dhunūba ‘Illā Al-Lahu Wa Lam YuşirrūAlá Mā Faalū Wa Hum Yalamūna”

“And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves [by transgression], remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins – and who can forgive sins except Allah? – and [who] do not persist in what they have done while they know.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, if a person committed a sin, if he doesn’t insist on it, Allāh ﷻ will forgive him. Allāh ﷻ is The Most Forgiving. A person who repents for his sins attains the forgiveness of Allāh ﷻ. If a person commits a sin knowingly and insists on it, then they bring their own punishment upon themselves.

There are some people who followed others, and they made a mistake. There is no need to continue on doing that mistake. Let them return to the way of Allāh ﷻ, so that Allāh ﷻ may forgive them. A person who follows doubtful people and sees them as right, surely, if the way is not right, there is a punishment for that.

Therefore, He ﷻ says, “Turn to Allah.” “فَفِرُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ”, ‘Fafirrū ilāLlāh’, ‘So flee to Allah.’ (Qur’ān 51:50). Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Seek refuge in Allah.” Do not insist. Allāh ﷻ has given everyone mind. He ﷻ has given them free will. He ﷻ has given them what must be done. One should not think that by causing harm to another, they will benefit or earn reward. There is no such thing in Islām.

No matter how much it’s difficult for you, you mustn’t follow your ego. The ego commands everything bad anyways. But some things are even worse. If you go on the right way, your ego will strive a thousand times more to lead you astray from the way, “Is this guy telling the truth? Is he good? Is he bad?” But if you follow a bad guy, it will support you, it will make you believe those people.

That is why, the right way, the way of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, shukr to Allāh ﷻ, the way of ṭarīqah orders that. Those outside of ṭarīqah follow their egos; whoever they are. “He’s a very learned scholar,” people can follow him, but essentially, he has nothing, he has no support. In the end, he who has no Murshid, his Murshid is shayṭān. The Murshid (guide) is only in ṭarīqah. It cannot be any other way. We must be careful about that.

Those who stray from the way should repent and seek refuge in Allāh ﷻ. Allāh ﷻ forgives. Allāh ﷻ is The Most Forgiving. Don’t insist. Insistence, stubbornness is a sign of disbelief. Disbelief comes by stubbornness.

During the time of our Prophet, ṣallá Llāhu alayhi wa sallam, even though the Quraysh kāfirs and so knew what the truth is, they didn’t believe out of arrogance and stubbornness. Even until their last breath, they didn’t believe. When they were about to kill Abu Jahl in the Battle of Badr, he even said this while he was dying, “I know this is the truth, but I don’t accept it.” He perished like that of arrogance.

Therefore, people should not be like him. May they return to the right way, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ forgive us all. May they not lead us astray from the right way. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Ayāt, Surahs, Yasin, Tasbihāt, Tahlilāt, Salawat, Dalā’il al-Khayrāt.

We gift them firstly to our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, his ﷺ Ahlu l-Bayt and ṣaḥābah, souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya.

وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا

(Qur’ān 72:06)

“Wa ‘Annahu Kāna Rijālun MinaAl-‘Insi Ya`ūdhūna Birijālin MinaAl-Jinni Fazādūhum Rahaqāan”

“And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.” Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

We are talking about the relation between jinn and mankind. Somethings happen. There are certain group of people living in this time that when they see someone, they confuse him saying, “You have jinn. You have black magic upon you.” Not everyone can see them; they can’t be known. This rarely happens.

Of course, it’s very rare for jinn to interfere with people and enter them. But it can happen to be struck by them. Because, may Allāh ﷻ protect us, it can happen if one doesn’t ask permission saying “Dastur” while pouring water, performing ablution, going somewhere at night, or entering somewhere, throwing water or having ablution. It can happen sometimes in these cases.

But telling everyone you see, “You have black magic done to you, you have jinn”, will confuse people. And those who say so for personal benefit will have lied and it would be a sin upon them too. And because they confused the other person’s mind, they would also have another sin upon them.

What we are experiencing in the time we live in is worse than jinn. The people and situations around us cause people to leave the way, cause discord inside families, cause children to disobey and go against their families. These are not from jinn and not from black magic. It’s happening because of everything around us. May Allāh ﷻ protect us.

In the time we live in, there are thousands of jinns in the devices children hold in their hands. They are the real corrupters. The majority has been driven mad because of that thing. Because of this thing called technology. It causes evil worse than jinn and shayṭān. We must be careful of that.

Allāh ﷻ gave humans a brain and mind. And they too have a capacity. Everything must be done in moderation. Everything must be done according to the proper principles and procedures to attain salvation. If you put pressure on everything at once, that will also have an effect.

It’s easy to blame everything on black magic and jinn. You’ll be removing the blame from yourself. “What shall I do? Go let the hoca read for you.” Reading is of course good. But before the hoca, you must read on yourself at home. You must do what’s necessary. You must give sadaqah. Recite Ayatul Kursi and ikhlās. You can read them upon yourself.

For protection against all evil, envy, evil eye, jinn, black magic and whatever there is, a person should recite 7 times Ayatul Kursi every day and blow around himself. Before leaving the house, recite 3 times Ikhlās, and Al-Falaq and An-Nas. Recite them when entering the house.

Give salām when entering the house. Give salām when leaving the house. They will be a protection for you. They will also be a means of guidance for the others at home. There will be peace in the family, in shā’a Llāh.

This time, as we said, is a very difficult time. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. People, children and all have become different. They’ve all changed. There’s no adab left. There’s no respect left. No one listens to advice. Advice enters from one ear and leaves from the other. And when something bad happens to them, they don’t understand why it happened.

As we said, people will be protected from these matters through worship and du’ā’s, with Allāh’s ﷻ permission. People must do this. Everyone should surely give sadaqah, say salām and recite the ayāt as they leave and enter the house. A person will be protected by them, and it will be a protection for the other family members, in shā’a Llāh.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us all. May He ﷻ protect children. May He ﷻ protect us from the evil of shayṭān. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

When you visit ‘awliyā’, the himmah of the holy ones is present. Shukr to Allāh ﷻ for visiting them. We’ve been outside Istanbul for three or four days for visiting ‘awliyā’ and holy ones, and it’s been a bit like khalwah (seclusion), far from the brothers. But sometimes khalwah is necessary for a person, for contemplation.

Most ‘awliyā’ are on the mountaintops; their tombs and maqams. Mountains also have their wisdom. Mountains are important. Both for dunyā and for īmān. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, before the message descended, before the revelation, was in Hira Cave.

It is the mountain overlooking Mecca, Jabal an-Nur. He would worship in the cave. Sometimes he would stay for days or even for a month at the top of those mountains. So mountains have a secret, a wisdom. There comes manifestations and emanations.

Therefore, in shā’a Llāh, we too made our visit imitating them. May Allāh ﷻ accept it. May it be a means for goodness, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ accept our du’ā’s. May Allāh ﷻ strengthen our īmān.

May He ﷻ grant us all kinds of things that will strengthen our īmān, in shā’a Llāh. Because always with shukr and du’ā’, goodness increases, barakah increases and īmān increases. Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we went and came back safely.

Thanks be to Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ grant us and our brothers barakah, safety and shifa’, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

There is a blessed saying, “همة الرجال تقلع الجبال”. When people are with Himmah, they can even move mountains from their place. Nothing can stand against them. When a person wants to, he can do this with Allāh’s ﷻ permission.

But they must do goodness. People find it easier to do evil and harder to do good. Why? Because if one tries to do good, shayṭāns will prevent him, his ego will prevent him, the people around him will prevent him.

This is the state of the world now. They forbid goodness; they consider it bad. They show the bad as good. You can’t say anything about the bad. You can’t say “It’s badness” about the badness. This is immediately – because most people are with the badness. They introduced evil as good, and believed in it. When they could live like a clean and good person, they do the exact opposite. They also show it as good.

Let alone that, if you say, “We did this. You do so,” that’s not enough. If a minority of three or five people are doing good, they don’t want them either. They say, “You must be like us.” In old times, people were like that. When a prophet came, he called them for guidance there. No one accepted.

Then, they attacked him too, “How dare you! They enjoin goodness. They enjoin beauty. We don’t want them.” May Allāh ﷻ protect us, this time has become the same. Doing good has become difficult. When it’s difficult, the more difficult it is, the greater the reward and thawāb.

Therefore, a person on the way of Allāh ﷻ should not care about anything others show, or anything they do. The order of Allāh ﷻ is important. You must follow it. Even if all people are against you, let them not like you, let them not love you, but you must do that. They have no value. The value lies in the good deeds. As we said, the harder it is, the more reward it has. May Allāh ﷻ grant us ease. May Allāh ﷻ guide people.

People are already doing so much that most people they think what they do is good. They think all the evil and sins they’ve done are normal and good. They think, “That’s how life is.” Whereas, there is mind and logic. Allāh’s ﷻ order is clear and we must follow it. Those who don’t follow it will have no benefit but a lot of harm.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ guide people. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

“O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner (45) And one who invites to Allah, by His permission, and an illuminating lamp.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla glorifies and honors our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. He ﷻ says, “We sent you.” Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam as mercy to people. He ﷻ sent him ‎ﷺ as light, as goodness to people. All kinds of barakah and goodness, the most beautiful happens for his ﷺ honor and sake. His ﷺ way is the way of light.

He who does not go on his ﷺ way will be in misery. He who does not honor him ﷺ is in error. He ﷻ says, “No matter how much you honor him ﷺ, do so.” Imam Al-Busayri says in Qasidat Al-Burdah, “As long as you do not claim what the Christians say about their prophet, praise him ﷺ and commend him ﷺ as much as you like.”

There is no limit to praising our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Love what shayṭān dislikes. What shayṭān dislikes is praising, honoring and loving our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This is what he dislikes. He deceives people saying, “You are making a mistake. No one but Allāh ﷻ may be glorified and praised.”

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has honored our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. He ﷻ has commanded us to do so, “Honor him ﷺ. Love him ﷺ. Respect him ﷺ.” Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “I created everything for his ﷺ sake.” If people do not honor him ﷺ, they are ungrateful. If a Muslim does not honor him ﷺ, they will suffer a great loss. It would be dangerous. It would be a danger to his īmān.

Those who didn’t honor him ﷺ never had good endings. Their ways ended and were finished. Shayṭān makes up other ways. But their main ways have never continued. Of course, shayṭān never stops. But also, the believer never stops from honoring our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

Therefore, this blessed day was given for the sake of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This is the greatest day for his ﷺ Ummah, the day of Friday. The day with the most rewards. The day beloved by Allāh ﷻ is Friday. And it was given to our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and it was given to his ﷺ nation. Shukr to Allāh ﷻ.

We must be grateful for the blessings so that they may increase. The greatest blessing Allāh ﷻ has given is īmān, the love of our ‎Prophet ﷺ. This is the greatest blessing for us, shukr to Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ always make it perpetual. May Allāh ﷻ not separate us from the way in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allahi tawfeeq, al-Fatiha.

Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says in ḥadīth sharīf,

“لاَ ضَرَرَ وَلاَ ضِرَارَ”

“There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.”

A Muslim, does not harm. He does not cause harm. He doesn’t harm, meaning he doesn’t hurt. He neither hurts people, nor animals nor anything else. He doesn’t harm. He also prevents harm. He prevents others from causing harm. It is the attribute of a Muslim that does good to those around him, does good to humanity and does not harm the place where he lives.

Now, may Allāh ﷻ protect us, when people are angry about anything, they harm others, they harm themselves. All of this is forbidden. It’s unacceptable for a Muslim to do this. A mu’min can’t harm anyone like that. He’d only harm himself. Therefore, the people we live with now don’t care at all. Even if you throw trash on the road, that’s still harm, it’s badness.

That’s why, the believer, the Muslim must pay attention even to the smallest details. There are fires and I don’t what else and so on. Some say, “Some people fabricated it.” Whoever does this commits a major sin. Because if he did it knowingly – or it could also be done unknowingly where people throw things – he must be careful with that. He smokes, he throws the cigarette, he causes fire.

Another one, I don’t know why he’s angry with the government, he causes fire. There are lives burning there. There are innocent lives, animals and insects. If he harms them, their curses will surely fall upon him. What he does, doesn’t harm others. The greatest harm he inflicts is on himself. He’d be doing it to his family, he’d be doing it to his ancestors. His harm will befall them all.

That’s why, we must be careful. One must be careful about what he does. The ḥadīth sharīf consists of two words, but it is sufficient for all of mankind. If they did this, the world would be filled with smiles every day. May Allāh ﷻ grant them mind and understanding. May He ﷻ reform people.

People now are, “وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ”, “Wa idha l-wuhūshu hushirat”, “And when the wild beasts are gathered.” (Qur’ān 81:05). Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, when beasts come out. People have become like wild beasts, animals.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ improve them. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي

(Qur’ān 89:24)

‘Yaqūlu Yā Laytanī Qaddamtu Liĥayātī’

‘He will say, “Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life.”’ Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Mankind says in ākhirah after taking his last breath, “What happened! My whole life passed before my eyes.” They say it flashes before your eyes, like a wick. That’s how it is.

A person looks and yearns, wishing he had done some things in this life. When they die, in their last breaths, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla opens their basīrah (insight). They see everything. They see those next to them and in front of them and what they have done. They say, “If only I had done something.” “If only” just doesn’t work anymore.

Now, while people are still alive, they say, “If only I had done this job, I would have earned this much money,” “If only I had bought this place, I would have had this much property,” “If only I had married this one, it would have been like this,” “If only I had done business with this one, it would have been like this.”

While alive, one feels regret for these things. They then get upset, distressed and their morale is broken, “We didn’t do so. Look, there were so many things.”

If everyone could do what they wanted, it would be possible. But what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will give them, what He ﷻ will open for them is what’s good. If someone wants to worship, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will not prevent them. So, “Allāh ﷻ didn’t let these people do so.” That’s right, Allāh ﷻ didn’t let them do it, but there’s a secret to that.

When you say Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla didn’t let them do it, you’re putting the blame on Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. You’re pure, you can do anything, you’re even oppressed, Ḥāshā! (far from it). That’s wrong. The Secret of Destiny is one of Azza wa-Jalla’s secrets.

And if a person wants to do worship, only He ﷻ can make it happen. But if a person wants so, that means Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will make them do it. There is Partial Willpower and Complete Willpower. Mankind must not throw their faults upon Him ﷻ and blame Him ﷻ.

A person must do it. He must do his worship. Performing worship is not hard. People do much harder things all day than worship. They make for dunyā a hundred things that are harder than worship. They don’t get tired of it, they don’t complain about it. But when it comes to worship, they make excuses, saying, “I can’t do it.”

As we said, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will show him that in his last breath. That time, it won’t help. “I wish I had done, I wish I had, I wish I had prayed, I wish I had fasted, I wish I had given sadaqah, I wish I had given zakat, I wish I had gone to ḥajj. I had money, I was in good health. But as I’ve been saying, “I’ll do it later”, my breath was gone.”

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ grant us to do them. May Allāh ﷻ remove this laziness and wretchedness from us, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ

(Qur’ān 35:37)

“Rabbanā ‘Akhrijnā Namal Şāliĥāan Ghayra Al-Ladhī Kunnā Namalu”

“Our Lord, remove us; we will do righteousness – other than what we were doing!” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, in qiyāmah, those in hell will wish, “If only He ﷻ would send us back to this world, and we would not do these evil deeds but other righteous deeds.” But after we get there, a person can’t go back.

Therefore, while living in this world, a person must know its value, the value of his life. He will find its value by worship, by being on the way of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. What is the worthless, useless life? The one far from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, far from worship, far from obedience, far from goodness. That life is worthless. It would have passed in vain anyways.

So if this life is going to be full, if it is going to be beneficial, it is in always being on the way of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Otherwise, there is no such thing as benefit; it is nothing but harm. Harm and evil, both for oneself and others.

A believer is always in benefit. No matter what happens to a believer, because he is on the way of Allāh ﷻ, Allāh ﷻ will record everything, his deeds, even his intentions, as reward. For example, if he made an intention to do something but he couldn’t do it. One reward is recorded for it. If he does it, ten rewards are recorded; one hundred rewards, one thousand. As much as Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla wants, He ﷻ writes.

But if he couldn’t do it, as we said, he will also be rewarded. If he intended to do something bad and he couldn’t do it, nothing will be written. If his intention is to do something bad, but he doesn’t do it, no sin will be recorded for him. Because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla does not oppress anyone, and He ﷻ honors those who do them.

If he commits a sin, one sin is recorded; not ten sins are recorded. But the reward is the opposite. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has bestowed this gift upon believers, mankind. And mankind doesn’t appreciate it. They live a worthless life. May Allāh ﷻ not separate us from the right way. May Allāh ﷻ grant us according to our intentions, in shā’a Llāh.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla enjoins upon us goodness, He ﷻ enjoins justice, He ﷻ enjoins beauty. He ﷻ sent Prophets to fulfill those commands. He ﷻ said, “Follow their way. They are the ones who show the way. We gave them both prophethood and a book.” Every messenger was sent a book.

He ﷻ sent books like Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n. Of course, none is left from those books. There is only Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n. “We also gave them wisdom.” Wisdom is important. Because knowledge without wisdom is useless. “Follow them. Follow His ﷻ guidance,” says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

How will we fulfill this command? Surely, by following their way, the way they had shown. Of course, as we said, the last book, Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, was sent with our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. We must follow that way, the way he ﷺ showed.

He ﷻ says, “Follow them.” Don’t act according to your own minds. Follow what he ﷺ showed, follow what he ﷺ said. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “After me, follow my Sunnah and the Khulafa’ Rāshidīn who will come after me. Be upon the Sunnah of my caliphs.”

That Sunnah is important. Following that way is important. Those who do not follow the Sunnah gain nothing; they lose a lot. Most importantly, they lose their īmān. May Allāh ﷻ protect us.

That way of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is by Allāh’s ﷻ order. Now some people who don’t even know themselves have appeared. They say, “No, we don’t recognize the Sunnah. We don’t recognize ḥadīth.” But they are wrong from the start. They’re striving in vain.

What they’re doing, may Allāh ﷻ protect us, makes them unbelievers. That’s what it will ultimately lead to. Following the Sunnah of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and what he ﷺ said, will elevate our rank in the sight of Allāh ﷻ and your end will be good.

May Allāh ﷻ not separate us from that way, in shā’a Llāh. May we go on their way, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, after the believers enter Paradise, when they drink from the pool of Kawthar of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, all the egoistic things in this world will disappear from a person.

When you enter Paradise, there will be no anger, no arrogance and no hostility. A person will enter Paradise pure and completely clean. Nothing of the sorrows of this world will remain after drinking from pool of Kawthar of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

But when they enter Paradise, some of the believers get sad. There is no sorrow in Paradise. In fact, no matter what happens, they don’t get sad. But they only get upset about one thing. Believers say that if there was one hour in dunyā when they haven’t remembered Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, they get upset about it.

“If only this hadn’t happened, we would have always remembered Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and made Dhikr of Allāh ﷻ.” They would get upset about that one thing. The more they see those gifts, the more they see The Paradise promised by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, its beauty and those beauties, they will say, “We have done little. Sometimes we didn’t remember Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.” And they will feel sad about it.

Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, making Dhikr means remembering Allāh ﷻ. So, going about your work and remembering Allāh ﷻ is your greatest benefit. You can remember dunyā and mind your own business. You can remember work and worldly states. But if you remember Allāh ﷻ, Allāh ﷻ will make things easy for you. He ﷻ provides ease for you in dunyā and He ﷻ also elevates your rank in ākhirah.

In dunyā, when a person is sad, the only refuge is Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Those who do not know Him ﷻ are always in distress. And they have spread their distress throughout the whole world. So, Muslims, non-Muslims and whoever there is are all the same. The only thing they are sad about is this dunyā. And what they don’t remember is Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

To make Dhikr of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla means to remember Him ﷻ, thinking about Him ﷻ. Everything that reminds one of Allāh ﷻ is necessary for a believer. ‘Awliyā’, Prophets, Believers, Companions: remembering them, mentioning them is beneficial. They are the greatest benefit.

Shayṭān knows, and he prevents people from doing that. He says to Muslims, “You have committed shirk.” Whereas everything that reminds of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is beneficial for the believer. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “People who remind you of Allāh ﷻ are beautiful. Honor and respect them.”

To remember Allāh ﷻ – You won’t remember Him ﷻ when you see every person. You won’t remember Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla when you hear about every single thing. But when you hear about the ‘awliyā’, the companions, the believers you remember Him ﷻ.

Therefore, honoring and respecting them is among the adab of our ṭarīqah. Observing the adab of ṭarīqah will guide people to the beautiful way. May Allāh ﷻ not lead you astray from the right way, in shā’a Llāh. May He ﷻ guide people.

مَا أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ

(Qur’ān 64:11)

“Mā ‘Asāba Min Musībatin ‘Illā Bi’idhni Allāhi”

“No disaster strikes except by permission of Allah.” Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

When a disaster happens, it happens with the permission of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Therefore, we must beg Allāh ﷻ. We must beg Allāh ﷻ if something happened or even if nothing happened.

Now, by Allāh’s ﷻ wisdom, there has been fires everywhere these last few years. Fires have been breaking out everywhere. They can’t control it. That’s because it’s by the command of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Everything is by His ﷻ command, and by His ﷻ grace.

Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam showed the way on how to extinguish the fire. When there is a fire, make Takbir. Takbir extinguishes fire. What is Takbir? It shows Allāh’s ﷻ Greatness. It shows the help of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Takbir extinguishes the fire of kufr. Therefore, the fire of dunyā is very little compared to it.

So, Takbir is not something to belittle. People can say all they want and mock, but this is a fact. By the power and grace of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, this disaster goes away. People must definitely believe in this.

Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we’ve witnessed this many times. It happened in Cyprus, around Lefke with Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim there. Of course, in Cyprus they don’t know much about religion or īmān. But they still called Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim. It was the last call. Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we went together.

It was close to evening. If it lasted all night, there was no way it could be extinguished. We went up to that hill with Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim and started making Takbir from there. Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, that fire ended before the adhan of ‘Isha. When he recited Takbir, it slowly slowly ended by doing so, shukr to Allāh ﷻ.

Therefore, they must say Takbir in places where there is fire. Takbir is important. It shows the greatness of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Takbir means saying Allāhu Akbar. Allāhu Akbar means Allāh is the Greatest. No one is like Him ﷻ. There are many foolish people who say, “This one is great. That one is great.” No one is great.

No one has even a single atom [of greatness] in front of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Those who claim so in from of Him ﷻ have always been in loss. Look at history from the time of ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salām until now. No one who claims to be great has ever achieved anything. If you are great, then where are you?

Therefore, by repenting to Allāh ﷻ, by seeking forgiveness and by reciting Takbir, these calamities will also pass away, with Allāh’s ﷻ permission. May Allāh ﷻ have grace and mercy upon us, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Ayāt, Surahs, Yasin, Tasbihāt, Tahlilāt, Salawat, Dalā’il al-Khayrāt. They have entrusted all these beautiful and things beloved to Allāh ﷻ, the word of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, salawāt of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. We gift them firstly to our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, his ﷺ Ahlu l-Bayt and ṣaḥābah, souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya.

To the souls of our Mashayikh. To the souls of all our passed ones. To the souls of all Muslims and Mu’mins. May they receive them, in shā’a Llāh. May whatever goals those who recited have be reached. For the strength of our īmān. For happiness here and hereafter. Li-Llahi Ta’āla.

“فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ”

(Qur’ān 11:112)

“Fa-staqim kamā umirta wa-man tāba ma‘aka”

“So remain on a right course as you have been commanded, [you] and those who have turned back with you [to Allah ].” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

This ayah in Sūrat Hūd, our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said, “It turned my beard white.”

It seems like a small ayah, but it is the most important thing for all of mankind. Istiqāmah means being upon the truth. Being right in everything. Being right in what you do. Being right in treating people.

Now, when mankind does the right things, shayṭān tells him, “You are losing a lot. Leave that. Do crooked things, you will win more.” He deceived all people. This is the game of shayṭān. That’s why, the person who does so, who deviates from Istiqāmah, won’t benefit from anything.

When you are upon Istiqāmah, the ināyah (protection) of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will be upon you. His ﷻ barakah will be upon you. You will gain a thousand times more than what you would gain from the evil, cheating and lying. And you will gain His ﷻ barakah.

What you earn by crooked means will be of no benefit to you; you will earn nothing but harm. Because you are doing fake and false things, and you are harming both people and yourself.

Everyone sees the others, “This is vigilance. This is smart work. When you do this, you win. Don’t do what’s right like the other fool ones. There’s no use of them. This treatment, being right does not bring any benefit.”

Whereas Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla commands it. Be upon what’s right. Do not stray from the right way. Do not separate from what’s right. Do that so that all of humanity can benefit.

If people don’t do so: our worldly state is right before us. There are very few people upon Istiqāmah. But it doesn’t matter. If all people go astray from the way, if they separate from Istiqāmah, it is not a must for you to follow them, it is not obligatory. You do not have to be like them.

Follow the command of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and do not look at others. Everyone is responsible for themselves. In ākhirah, both his rewards and his sins will be upon him. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ not separate us all from Istiqāmah.

“Love of Allāh ﷻ, Love of the Messenger of Allāh ﷻ, Love of believers.”

The love of Allāh ﷻ, love of our ‎Prophet ﷺ and love of believers is the duty of the believer. Without this love and compassion, everything is dry. Everything is without life. Love gives life to everything. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is HabibuLlah, Allāh’s ﷻ Beloved. His ﷺ way is the way of love, Allāh’s ﷻ way.

Believers must love one another. The believer doesn’t look for faults. He covers up faults. Hypocrites look for faults. They look for shortcomings in people to make themselves and their egos seem higher. They are pretentious, self-important, selfish and egoistic.

These are the attributes of shayṭān, not the attributes of a believer. The ego must be disciplined and freed from them. Those who do not do this will not make progress. They will not advance in their īmān, instead there will be regression.

As we see, the whole world is full of people who are enemies to each other and strive to do evil. That’s why, the state of dunyā is not good. Surely, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will sends one of His ﷻ servants to fix that. That servant, shukr to Allāh ﷻ, the servant whom we were given good tidings about is Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām.

In shā’a Llāh, waiting for Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām is an act of worship. Believing in him and waiting for him is also an act of worship. Now, some people who claim they are scholars say, “It’s not true.” They are not scholars. Their way is to confuse people, to make people fall into doubt and decrease their īmān.

The believer, as we said, believes and Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will open his heart. He ﷻ shows his heart the truth. That too, is a blessing from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. May Allāh ﷻ not deprive us of it, in shā’a Llāh. May He ﷻ increase it. The more, the better. It’s beneficial. The abundance of evil is not beneficial but harmful. The abundance of goodness and īmān is beneficial.

May Allāh ﷻ always grant us those benefits, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ اللَّيْلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطْئًا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا

(Qur’ān 73:06)

“Inna Nāshi’ata Al-Layli Hiya ‘Ashaddu Waţ’āan Wa ‘Aqwamu Qīlāan”

“Verily, the rising by night (for Tahajjud prayer) is very hard and most potent and good for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (understanding) the Word (of Allah).” Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, the prayer performed at night is more difficult. At night, it is more difficult for a person to perform worship. Therefore, a person who performs worship at night attains much more rewards than during the day. One ra’kah at night is more virtuous than the daytime prayer, says Sayyidina Ahmad al-Badawi.

Sayyidina Ahmad al-Badawi is buried in Egypt. Those who love him and follow him are many everywhere. We go to his Dergah here as guests. His manifestation is great. He is among the awliyā’. He had many people who loved him and followed him. Of course, the manifestation changes in every time. Even if it’s little here, we will be under his protection and barakah, in shā’a Llāh.

He has a beautiful saying, “One rakat of worship at night is worth a thousand rakats of worship during the day.” How is the night prayer performed? A person who performs ablution before going to bed and prays two rakats of prayer is considered to have performed Qiyāmu l-Layl. Then, waking up a little before the Fajr prayer, praying tahajjud prayer and if he can pray other nāfilah prayers also, each one of them – a person would have revived the night.

Its virtue is preserved in the sight of Allāh ﷻ. Allāh ﷻ knows how much He ﷻ will give for that. The account is with Him ﷻ. Also, du’ā’ performed at night while people are sleeping, during the time of tahajjud, is also among the du’ā’s that are accepted. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives him his thawāb and reward in both dunyā and ākhirah.

The most important thing for a person to find peace is to do these things. They are not fard, they are nāfilah. But nāfilah increases a person’s spiritual strength. And that is more important than material, physical strength. Spiritual strength is the means for a person to discipline his ego. If there isn’t spiritual strength, do whatever the body desires, eat and drink, it’s of no benefit. Because animals eat and drink and fatten in the same way; that’s all. There’s no spiritual benefit.

Therefore, for spiritual benefit, pray at least two rak’at Qiyāmu l-Layl at night before going to bed. And before Fajr prayer, two rak’at, four rak’at, eight rak’at, as many as one can pray. But he must at least pray two rak’at. It will be as if he has revived the night (had been awake all night). Its benefits are endless. May Allāh ﷻ grant it to everyone.

May He ﷻ give easiness. Because most people say, “We can’t get up.” Sometimes, a person can’t get up because of the overpowering of the ego. Therefore, make jihād with (overcome) your ego. Wake up at least 15 to 20 minutes before Fajr prayer; that’s good. Before praying Fajr, even if the time of Fajr has entered, it is still possible if one intends for tahajjud, in shā’a Llāh.

May Allāh ﷻ help us. May Allāh ﷻ give us strength, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, a believer does not lie. He might do other things, he might commit other sins, but a believer does not lie. Lying is for what purpose? The purpose is always evil. Lying for personal benefit.

Therefore, it is not a characteristic of a believer. Of course, a believer can commit other sins. But he must always tell the truth. He must tell what’s right. Telling the truth is virtuous. It increases a person’s honor.

His rank rises in the sight of Allāh ﷻ. His rank among people also becomes high. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was known as Muhammad Al-Amīn ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Amīn which means the most trustworthy, the one who doesn’t lie.

That’s why, in Islām, lying in testimony is one of the major sins. It is one of the greatest sins. People think lying a minor sin. Whereas it’s one of the major sins. It’s even more […] than adultery.

For example, giving a false witness is a major sin. Because it either ruins a person’s life, or serves the right to someone else and misleads justice. And when justice is falsely served, it becomes oppression. And oppression does not last. These things done for worldly benefit are of no benefit. That person will have fire inside him.

Therefore, any kind of lie is a sin. We mustn’t lie. They say, “النجاة في الصدق”, “An-nacātu fi s-sidq.” Salvation lies in telling the truth. Someone might lie and think he’ll be saved, and he might seem like he’s saved in front of people, but he has no salvation in ākhirah.

May Allāh ﷻ forgive us. We must repent and seek forgiveness. If one makes a false testimony, a person must ask forgiveness from whomever he harmed. Otherwise, he will bear a great punishment and affliction in ākhirah.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ not separate us from the right way. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

“إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ”

(Qur’ān 49:10)

“Innama l-mu’minūna ikhwa fa-‘aslihu bayna akhawaykum wa t-Taqu Allaha La’allakum Turhamoon”

“The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says believers are brothers. Make peace between brothers. If there is disagreement between brothers, resolve it and reconcile them. Whoever does this will have the mercy of Allāh ﷻ upon him.

Believers, as we said, are more of the people of ṭarīqah. Others are just – everyone is a Muslim, but those with īmān, are of a higher degree. Īmān is a great blessing. It is not given by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla to everyone. By disciplining the ego, īmān grows in a person, and they attain the attributes of a believer.

The attribute of a believer is the attribute that our ‎Prophet ﷺ loves and Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla loves. Everyone, of course, especially people of ṭarīqah, must overcome their ego and rise in the level of īmān. During that, there are many things, if a person does them gradually, then he will reach that level. Then, Allāh’s ﷻ mercy and protection will be upon them. And that is the best thing in dunyā.

The best thing in dunyā is īmān, not money. Everyone can have money. Pharaoh had it. Nimrod had it. The world’s most oppressive, most unbelieving people may also have the most money. But they are of no benefit to themselves, nor to others. As we said, the benefit is īmān. If you have īmān – even if the whole world is yours, without faith, it has no value.

Therefore, a believer must overcome his ego, and if there is something between him and his believing brother, let them reconcile. People who go on the same way must have love.

Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said a believer must love his believing brother. He is a believer. A Muslim: he can either love him or not; he is a Muslim. Who says “La ilāha illa Allah” is a Muslim. But to elevate one’s īmān, a person must break his ego, he must discipline his ego.

May Allāh ﷻ grant us all success in that. May He ﷻ not make us conform to our egos. Some things are sometimes difficult for a person, but when he does it, his rank will rise and he will become a beloved person in the presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and in the presence of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

The difficulties that a person faces will bring him happiness. He will be happy in dunyā, and he will attain rewards and thawāb in ākhirah. May Allāh ﷻ not let any disagreement between mu’min brothers. May there be love and compassion among them, in shā’a Llāh.

Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says,

“المُؤمِنُ يألَفُ ويُؤلَفُ”

“The believer is friendly and can be befriended.” [Hadith]

A believer is someone who is forbearing, peaceful and gets along well with people. He gets along with people and people get along with him too. People’s temperaments are different, so tolerating them is the attribute of a believer, the attribute of the people of ṭarīqah. And that is also the attribute of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, and something he ﷺ loves.

Therefore, a believer must get along well with people. He must tolerate them. Of course, everyone has their own temperaments, and different habits. If he doesn’t tolerate them, he decreases in rank. There is īmān and there is Islām. There is the believer and there is the Muslim. A believer is a more sincere Muslim. Everyone who is a Muslim is a Muslim.

Someone who gets along well, someone who gets along badly, someone who commits sins, someone who does evil can be a Muslim. But a believer is not like that. A believer is indeed one who: gets along well with people, performs his worship, is on the way of Allāh ﷻ, fears the ḥarām and avoids it and strives to do good.

Therefore, most of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam’s words and ḥadīth sharīf are short, but complete. They are like that so mankind don’t forget them. If a person does them, he earns great rewards and is relieved. All of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam’s words, advices, instructions are for our benefit, for the benefit of humanity.

May Allāh ﷻ make it easy for us to do them. May Allāh ﷻ make us successful in doing so, in shā’a Llāh.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, read the Qur’ān. For every letter you read of the Qur’ān, Allāh ﷻ writes ten good deeds, erases ten sins and raises you by ten ranks, says our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

Each letter – when you say, Alif, Lām, Mīm. Alif is separate, Lām is a separate letter, and Mīm is a separate letter. That is three letters. Thirty good deeds are written, thirty sins are erased, and you rise by thirty ranks.

So how many are in each line? How many are there on each page? The rewards given by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and the sins forgiven become in thousands.

That’s why, reading the Qur’ān is a great gain for a Muslim. Now, some people say instead of the Qur’ān, “Let’s read something else instead of reading the Qur’ān. We don’t understand anything from the Qur’ān. It’s in Arabic. Read from a man who’s written many books. Don’t read the Qur’ān. Read the Qur’ān interpretation. It interprets the Qur’ān. That is more important. What you understand is important. This isn’t important at all.”

What’s important is the blessed, holy Qur’ān of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. You read it as it is, as His ﷻ word. Whether you understand it or not. It doesn’t matter. The important thing is that you read it, that it comes out of your mouth, that you pronounce it.

Even if you read collections of interpretations; read it. Read it from morning to evening. You can’t earn the reward of a single letter of the Qur’ān. That’s what it’s like.

That’s why, people are often deceived. “I’ll read the interpretation. I’ll read this, I’ll read that.” Read it. But before that, read the Qur’ān. Certainly, in Arabic. It can be written in other letters, but as for the pronunciation, once it’s read in Arabic, that [other letters] is not important.

Otherwise, instead of saying, “AlhamduliLlahi Rabbi l-‘Ālamīn”, to say “Thank Allāh ﷻ”, reading it as an interpretation or translation is of benefit but as we said, you can never attain the reward of a single letter of the Qur’ān even if you read that [translation] all day.

That’s why, shayṭān does everything he can to deceive people and deprive them of these rewards. Those who are deceived by him or those who follow shayṭān tell people, “You don’t understand it. You should read what you understand.”

No one understands it. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla makes whomever He ﷻ wants understand, and makes whomever He ﷻ wants not to understand. One can know nothing, but he’ll still understand. And one can know everything, but he still won’t understand if Allāh ﷻ doesn’t want him to.

Therefore, this is important. People mostly now say, “Why should we read it in Arabic. Let’s pray in Turkish. Let’s read in English. Let’s read it in French. Let’s read it in a language we understand.” It can’t be as you want. Anyways, people who say those things are those who have nothing to do with prayer, religion, or īmān.

Many who say these things say them just to corrupt religion and īmān. On the other hand, there is a type of Muslims who have nothing to do with ṭarīqah and have been deceived by shayṭān. They say, “Don’t read the Qur’ān. Read other things. That’s more important.”

People need to wake up now. They need to know they’ve strayed from the way. If they say they don’t read the Qur’ān, but read something else instead, that’s a big deal. May Allāh ﷻ protect us, a person might lose his īmān.

May Allāh ﷻ make us from the people of the Qur’ān. The Qur’ān is the greatest benefit. And then there are those who say, “Only read the Qur’ān.” They are another shayṭān. They don’t know anything. They are either ignorant or directly with shayṭān.

Because Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n was revealed through the holy mouth of our Holy ‎Prophet ﷺ. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam explained it through his ﷺ ḥadīths, states and actions. Those who say they should ignore the ḥadīths, have not accepted our Holy ‎Prophet ﷺ either.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. There are many fitnahs in the end of times. One must be vigilant. Be vigilant and follow the murshid understanding his actions. Ṭarīqah is indeed necessary for Muslims to go on the right way leading to our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

May Allāh ﷻ not lead us astray from the right way, in shā’a Llāh.

“وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ”

(Qur’ān 39:54)

“Wa ‘Anībū ‘Ilá Rabbikum Wa ‘Aslimū Lahu”

“And return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Return to Allāh ﷻ, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Submit to Him ﷻ. If you make a mistake, return [in repentance] from your mistake, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

The way of Allāh ﷻ is clear. The way of Allāh ﷻ is obvious and open. Go on that way. If you have strayed to other ways, if you have been deceived, return to Allāh ﷻ, repent to Allāh ﷻ and He ﷻ forgives. If you have strayed to the bad way, do not persist in that way. This persistence and stubbornness is a sign of disbelief.

The unbeliever is stubborn. The Muslim accepts the truth. He is on the side of ḥaqq. He is together with ḥaqq. No matter what you show an unbeliever, and no matter what you say, it’s useless. You can say “This is true, and this is false” as much as you want, they still accept the falsehood and say nothing else.

Therefore, there are many people who have been deceived. They chased after some people because they claim they’re Muslims. He who has strayed from the way should return to that way. He should return to the way of ḥaqq, the way shown by our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. That way leads to salvation. It leads to salvation in dunyā, and it leads to salvation in ākhirah. That’s what’s important.

Because there are all kinds of people who have been deceived. We’re back to the issue of Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. There are many people who say they are Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. We see it every day. There are many majdhūbs or crazy ones who say, “I am the Mahdi. I am ‘Isa. I am this, I am that.” Not everyone accepts them.

But there are some, they form large communities. “Mahdi appeared. Mahdi appeared a hundred years ago,” I don’t know how many years ago they say he appeared. After Mahdi appears, qiyāmah will happen. How do you think a hundred or fifty or ten years have passed? If Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām appeared, all these signs must come one after the other. This is what must happen.

People are being deceived. However, it’s not by implication (insinuation); there are great clear signs. The appearance of Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām is one of the great signs of qiyāmah. But there are signs after that too. There is Dābbatu l-Ard (The Beast of the Earth). After that, the sun will rise from the west. The emergence of Yajūj and Majūj.

These are from the major signs of qiyāmah. Dunyā will not last forever. It also has its time. Therefore, deceiving people by saying, “I am the Mahdi,” and then Muslims believing in one person, and following him, is going out from the way.

Therefore, return to the way. Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām hasn’t appeared yet. When he appears, everyone will know; not three or five people, not a thousand people, not ten thousand people. Millions will all know. The whole world will know. Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām will appear. The antichrist will appear. There are groups who are waiting for the antichrist. They will follow the antichrist. So even they are smarter than these deceived people.

That’s why, to people who are in error: “أَنِيبُوا”, “Anību”, He ﷻ says. (Qur’ān 39:54). Return, return, return to Allāh ﷻ. It’s not about one person. The way is clear. Everything is clearly stated.

Therefore, for those who are in error: do not insist. Persistence and stubbornness are signs of disbelief. Do not approach them. Do not do so. May Allāh ﷻ grant you mind and understanding. May you return to the way. That’s what we will say, in shā’a Llāh.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, everyone must do what they know, their own work. Allāh ﷻ has created everyone differently. He ﷻ elevates whomever He ﷻ wants. And He ﷻ lowers whomever He ﷻ wants. This is an attribute of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. No one ascends by their own efforts. Surely, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will cause a cause to elevate him. And there will be a cause for him to descend.

A person who is on the way of Allāh ﷻ, a person who is truly sincere always ascends. How does one ascend? He ascends spiritually. And when he ascends spiritually, materiality is not important. Allāh ﷻ will send that person wherever he has to serve, towards whatever he will do. If he has a service, He ﷻ raises him. If he doesn’t want that service rejecting it, if he goes against Allāh ﷻ, he will be disgraced and ruined. He will have harmed people also.

Therefore, people must be with Allāh ﷻ. Don’t get involved with dunyā. One should perform his service for the sake of Allāh ﷻ. He should be beneficial to people for the sake of Allāh ﷻ. A person who is beneficial to people is the most beloved person in the presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. The most acceptable person is the one who benefits people, says our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. “The best among you is the one who is good to people.”

Therefore, in dunyā, a believer, a Muslim must know what he is doing. Don’t be ruined and perish by blindly following a person just because he said something. Something happened years ago today. And that’s the biggest example. Destroying people, not for the sake of Allāh ﷻ, but for personal benefit. They appear to be good but destroy people. They bring not goodness but badness to people.

Those who serve for the pleasure of Allāh ﷻ are accepted in the sight of Allāh ﷻ. Because it’s not just here, there’s ākhirah also. You’ve led so many people astray in the name of Islām. You took people out of the way in the name of Islām. You ruined their dunyā. And their ākhirah: they will give their account there then. And Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will hold you accountable.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May we not follow our egos. The mashāyikh say, Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim says, man’s ego, Pharaoh’s ego always exists. Pharaoh said, “I am your greatest god,” and put himself forward. He then perished and was gone. And those who followed him were also destroyed.

Therefore, fitnah for those going on the way is a great affliction. Once it comes out, it doesn’t leave people. It deceives people. It leads astray those who are on the right way. Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, people of ṭarīqah don’t care about dunyā. They care about service. People in ṭarīqah don’t do badness to anyone. Those with shayṭān are the ones who do badness. They are those who magnify their ego, those who consider their ego to be something.

As we said, there has always been a Pharaoh. He saw his ego as great. He considered himself great. Many people followed him and were destroyed. Therefore, if there is any doubt in the heart of anyone, may Allāh ﷻ protect him, and remove doubt from their hearts.

The right way is obvious. What is right is clear. The way of Allāh ﷻ, the way of ṭarīqah. Ṭarīqah means way; the way leading to Allāh ﷻ. The others, those who don’t follow ṭarīqah will surely end up with shayṭān. They say the one without a Shaykh has shayṭān as his shaykh. It’s exactly like that.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. Because, as we said, shayṭān never sits idle. The shayṭān is always there. Since the time of ‘Ādam ‘alayhi s-salām, shayṭān has been plotting all sorts of tricks and traps to lead people astray. Therefore, may Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ protect us from his evil. The shayṭān does not retire, as Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim says. Only when he retires do people become [safe]. And that’s not possible either.

So you must be careful. There are many pharaohs. Don’t say that one is gone and there are no more. There are many. They appear before you in various disguises every time. That’s why, you should be careful. Every day, a complaint comes from somewhere, “This man did this and that.” Well, ask about this man from the beginning; investigate about him. Is he good? Is he not good? Who is he? Then, act accordingly.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ protect us all from being deceived. May He ﷻ not separate us from the right way.

“إِنَّ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ يَهْدِي لِلَّتِي هِيَ أَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ”

(Qur’an 17:9)

“Inna hādhā l-qur’āna yahdī lillatī hiya aqwam wa yubash-shiru l-mu’minin”

“Indeed, this Qur’an guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says in this ayah karīmah that Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n is the book that is showing the most beautiful, showing the best, showing the most right. This book was sent down by Allāh ﷻ. And it is one in dunyā. It is the addressing of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla to mankind, His ﷻ blessed words, without any alteration.

It is for the benefit of all humanity; and for everything, whatever is in dunyā, for humans, for the inanimate, for the animals. The information of whatever there is, all kinds of things is in it. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “It shows the best.”

Now, since the Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n is like this, there’s a part of people who say, “How can we benefit from it? How can we benefit from everything?” And a part of people don’t appreciate it.

Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n was conveyed to people through our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. It descended upon our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, he ﷺ endured it, and then he ﷺ showed it and transmitted it to people. That continues until now and will continue until forever.

Of course, our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam explained its meaning to us. What our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam explained – Of course, people couldn’t grasp anything; like a drop from the sea from our Prophet’s ﷺ knowledge, from his ﷺ interpretation.

Now some people are saying, “Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n shows everything. We follow it. We will take from it.” Such a group of people have appeared. And they were wrong from the very beginning.

Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n has been conveyed to us from the blessed mouth of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. The ḥadīths shārif are similarly conveyed from him ﷺ. So the explanation of the Qur’ān has been and continues to be by the means of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. It is as he ﷺ showed.

Everyone opens the Qur’ān according to their own mind and say, “Qur’ān means so and so.” They can’t do so. Its knowledge is different. The place it shows is different. People are definitely ignorant. If he opens it and says, “I will do what the Qur’ān says,” he would already be making a mistake from the start. He would be committing a sin from the start.

Interpreting the Qur’ān isn’t easy, and not everyone can do it. Because people, due to incorrect interpretations, are harming both themselves and Muslims. They cannot harm Islām. Nothing harms Islām. But they can harm Muslims. Because they can show the opposite of the truth.

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for us to read it as our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam showed, and follow the scholars who follow that way. We cannot do it according to our own minds. If we did, we would be committing a sin. There’s that too.

There’s a ḥadīth sharīf of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam in which he‎ ﷺ says, everyone mustn’t interpret according to their own mind. Whoever does that commits a sin. May Allāh ﷻ protect us.

These fitnahs, the fitnahs of the end of times are many. Every day, you hear about something new. Foolishness has reached its final stage. In the end of times, people have reached the final stage of insanity. There is no logic or mind left. They’ve mixed everything up. And they want to mix up this one too.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ not separate us all from the right way.

“فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ”

(Qur’ān 11:112)

“Fa-staqim kamā umirta wa-man tāba ma‘aka”

“So remain on a right course as you have been commanded, [you] and those who have turned back with you [to Allah ].” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

When this ayah descended, our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said, “شَيَّبَتنِي هُودٌ”, “Shayyabatni Hūd.” This Ayah is in Surat Hūd about which our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “It turned my hair gray.”

This is a powerful ayah that Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla orders to be straight upon Istiqāmah (straight on the way). He ﷻ orders our Holy ‎Prophet ﷺ. And the same order applies to those with our Holy ‎Prophet ﷺ.

Even though our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was very powerful, he ﷺ said, “It made my hair gray.” Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam only had a few gray hairs. Because even though our ‎Prophet’s ﷺ blessed body that Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created resembled ours, his ﷺ strength was very great. It was more than all people. So, even with that strength, it turned gray a few hairs, says our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

Because istiqāmah is important. Istiqāmah is the essence of Islām. Those who do not practice it mustn’t think they are something. The way of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is the way of istiqāmah. There is no curvature. It is straight. It’s beautiful. There’s no deviation.

Whoever leaves the way, the way of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, puts himself in danger and is destroyed. Therefore, may the barakah of this blessed ayah be upon us, in shā’a Llāh. May we be upon istiqāmah, in shā’a Llāh.

As we said, our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam has many qualities. Hadrat Al-Busayri says: “محمد بشرٌ وليس كالبشر، محمدٌ ياقوتٌ والناس كالحجر”, “Muhammad is a human, but not like other humans. Muhammad is a ruby, but people are like stone.” Muhammad ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is a human being, but he is not like humans.

Rubies are also stones. Ruby jewel is a stone. But one of its stones is worth all the stones in the world. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is very precious. No one can reach his ﷺ power or his ﷺ state, neither physically nor spiritually; that is not possible anyways.

May Allāh ﷻ grant us his ﷺ intercession. May Allāh ﷻ grant us his ﷺ love, in shā’a Llāh. That is the most important thing.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created people and sent them to be tested. Dunyā is a place of tests. He who does good finds good. He finds goodness in dunyā. And he earns his ākhirah in ākhirah anyways. Whoever says, “I know how it goes here. I will act [upon my thinking],” will lose. He will find no peace and no goodness.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has described the way of goodness and beauty. He who follows it will find comfort. He who abandons it will be restless. It will never benefit him. It is said in the Holy Qur’ān, “Allāh ﷻ shows the right way.”

He ﷻ promises you goodness. He ﷻ promises you beauty. He ﷻ promises you peace, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Allāh ﷻ wants goodness. He ﷻ wants goodness for people. Shayṭān wants badness. He wants harm for people. He makes them restless. He wants them to do evil. And people incline towards him. They incline towards him and then they wonder why this happened.

There’s nothing to be surprised about. You yourself have abandoned goodness and have pursued evil. What more do you want? If mankind follows the way Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has told about and shown, he will never be uneasy. A person who says, “I am uneasy,” is lying. He has not followed that way correctly. He didn’t go on that way truly.

What is the right way? Accepting everything Allāh ﷻ has given, believing that it comes from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and accepting it. When you accept it, everything becomes easy. A person who says, “I’m a Muslim. I pray five times a day. I do this, I do that. My work is like this. My house is like this. My life is like this,” doesn’t have complete īmān already. A person with complete īmān is never bothered by the affairs of dunyā or his life.

May Allāh ﷻ grant us all true īmān. That is the most beautiful, the greatest blessing. If you have it, you’re the best person in dunyā even if you had nothing in dunyā. Otherwise, even if you had everything, it wouldn’t benefit you. You’d still be the most restless person.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ grant us all iman, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

وَقُلِ اعْمَلُوا فَسَيَرَى اللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ

(Qur’ān 09:105)

“Wa-quli ʿmalū fa-sa-yarā llāhu ʿamalakum”

“And say, Do, for Allah will see your deeds.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Do good deeds. He ﷻ will see what you do.” Whether you do good or bad, everything will be presented before Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. You will be held accountable accordingly.

Of course, mankind in the time we live in don’t know what they’re doing. They do whatever their ego wants. Now, they also do acts of worship according to their own minds. Or they don’t perform them at all. They say, “Nothing will happen. There’s no such thing.” But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Do everything well.”

As we said, people of old times had patience. They had thought. They would pay attention to everything, wondering which would be more acceptable, which would be more beautiful. In what they eat, what they drink, what they wear, what they talk. Even where they reside, if they’re going to build a house: how to do it and what to do. They would do everything according to its principles. They would strive to do just as our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam did, according to the Sunnah. What they did is the best for both dunyā and ākhirah.

People today have been getting worse and worse for almost a hundred years; not better but worse. Why is that happening? Why are they becoming worse? Because mankind has followed his ego. He says, “I will do whatever my ego wants. It would be better and more beautiful.” Whereas it’s worse, and more terrible.

Therefore, a person who is on the way of Allāh ﷻ, who turns to Allāh ﷻ and follows the way of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, will certainly gain in both dunyā and ākhirah. He will attain both material and spiritual gain. There’s no need to look for other ways. There’s no need to look at other things. The way is in front of us. We are in the beautiful way, the way of light, the way of happiness.

There’s no need for what others show and what they say. We must stay away from them so that they may not harm us. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ protect people from the evil of their own egos and the evil of what they do. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, on these blessed days, we made beautiful visits to the maqām of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim, Hala Sultān and the rest of the many ‘awliyā’ and ṣaḥābah in Cyprus. Earth belongs to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He ﷻ brings and takes; it happens by His ﷻ command.

Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, it was the land of Islām there. As it is the land of Islām, we’re saying this again, it doesn’t matter who lives on it. Allāh ﷻ brings the good ones, and changes the bad ones, in shā’a Llāh.

This is the state of dunyā. People are immersed in dunyā. They don’t know what they are doing. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the All-Knowing. He ﷻ is the All-Seeing. Therefore, there is no despair in Islām.

“لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ”

(Qur’ān 39:53)

“Lā Taqnatū Min Raĥmati Allāhi”

“Do not despair of the mercy of Allah.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

There is no despair. Don’t lose hope in the mercy of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Hearts are in the Hand of Power of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, says our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. He ﷻ changes it the moment He ﷻ wants. He ﷻ changes it from bad to good. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla can also change it from good to bad; may Allāh ﷻ protect us.

A person must be careful for Allāh ﷻ gives according to a person’s intention, according to his heart. We must always draw closer to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla with worship. If a person does so, Allāh ﷻ willing, Allāh ﷻ will protect him. He ﷻ will not lead him astray.

But even the one who goes astray, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla can change him. He ﷻ definitely changes whomever changes, and doesn’t change whomever does not change. But there is no despair.

May Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla reform all people. And may Allāh ﷻ protect us from the evil of our egos. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

Every word our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said is beautiful. Every time, we hear some of them or read some of them. Some of them even come to our minds. One of those beautiful words is, Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

“إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ”

(Qur’ān 09:18)

“Innamā Ya`muru Masājida Allāhi Man ‘Āmana Billāhi Wa Al-Yawmi Al-‘Ākhiri”

“The mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

The people who build the houses of Allāh ﷻ, the mosques, are people who believe in Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, our ‎Prophet ﷺ and the ākhirah. Those who are granted that are very lucky people. They are lucky because that goodness continues. It’s ongoing while you’re alive, and it stays the same until the Day of Judgment.

There are many people who built mosques and such. Then, a hundred years, fifty years, sometimes two hundred years after they passed away, something happened and they removed it. Something else was built instead. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives him the same reward just as when it is built.

That’s why, building a mosque or masjid is a great chance for the one who does it. Of course, not everyone can do it. When it is done, that one is a lucky servant of Allāh ﷻ. Our Ottoman ancestors and those who came after them built mosques everywhere. They built many mosques and masjids.

Our island is a blessed island. On the island – as our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam called it: Jazīratu l-Khadra’, the green island. It is a blessed island. Over millions of men have come and gone. The good ones have come, the bad ones have come, and all were gone.

What has not gone is the good deeds. This is what’s left for those who did them. The value of the island, what our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam pointed to, is Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla’s built mosques, dergahs, the houses where there’s the remembrance of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. By their barakah, barakah comes to those who come.

No matter how many people here now say they believe, and even if they say they don’t believe – whether you believe or not, when your time comes, you will be swept away. Someone else will come. Allāh ﷻ puts whomever He ﷻ wants, and takes whomever He ﷻ wants. That chance doesn’t happen to everyone. That’s why, we must appreciate it.

Our people have been deprived of it. They think dunyā is something important. Dunyā is nothing. As we said, millions of people have come and gone from here. What’s remaining is the charity and good deeds. It is not lost in the sight of Allāh ﷻ; it is not wasted.

In shā’a Llāh tomorrow, a blessed old mosque from the Ottoman time will be opened again in Larnaca, on the Hala Sultān side, in shā’a Llāh. Even on the days when it was not open, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave that reward to those who built it. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given them the reward of the good deed they have done. May Allāh ﷻ grant us all to do such good things as mosques. May it benefit people, in shā’a Llāh.

May Allah ﷻ make its barakah upon us all. Because the revival of what our ancestors have done is beneficial to us all. When that archaeological [religious] site, that mosque is ruined, the rewards definitely reach its owner, but when prayer, dhikr, tasbihāt and all kinds of worship are performed again, it becomes barakah for that town and that place. It becomes a means for attaining guidance and light.

May Allāh ﷻ multiply it. May Allāh ﷻ make them reopen everything that’s ruined soon. Because of course, there might be some financial obstacles. There might be some controllable obstacles, and there might be some obstacles beyond one’s control.

May Allāh ﷻ remove these obstacles, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Al-Fatiha.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

“إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْخَلَّاقُ الْعَلِيمُ”

(Qur’an 15:86)

“Inna Rabbaka Huwa Al-KhallāquAl-`Alīmu”

“Verily, your Lord is the All-Knowing Creator.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is The Creator. Minds are amazed at His ﷻ dominion. The mind cannot reach these limits anyway. Even if the entire universe unite, they cannot reach not even a point of His ﷻ wisdom. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is our Majestic Lord. Mankind learns two things and thinks he is something. And he tries to be superior over people.

He ﷻ has written everything in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n. There is one beautiful Ayah – all are beautiful but one Ayah says, Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm, “مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ”, “Minhā Khalaqnākum Wa Fīhā Nu`īdukum Wa Minhā Nukhrijukum Tāratan ‘Ukhrá”, “From the earth We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.” (Qur’an 20:55).

Allāh ﷻ has created human from here, from earth, from the globe. The soil of Adam ‘alayhi s-salām was taken from here and created in paradise. After that, he returned here again. Then, people will be buried in the ground. After mankind is buried, he will be created a second time. We were all created from earth, from the globe. “We will extract them from it”, He ﷻ says. After that, we will be earth again; we will be soil.

Just as Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created us first, He ﷻ will create us a second time in the same way, from earth with our flesh and bones. Then the duty on earth will be over. Then mankind will either go to heaven or hell. The earth is no longer necessary for the sons of ‘Ādam. The creation of Allāh ﷻ continues. Allāh ﷻ is the Creator. There is no rule that He ﷻ will only create us and not create anything else. He ﷻ is Al-Khallāq, which means The Creator. That creation will continue.

Our place is here. We were created from here. Mankind will go from here to ākhirah. Now there are foolish people who are cheating others. I don’t know why they are doing this. “No, we will go there. We will go to the moon.” They forgot about the moon; the moon is very close. “We will go to other planets. We will go to Mars. We will go to that planet. We will settle there.”

People don’t even want to go to a slightly difficult place on earth. You don’t have to spend that much money. It’s not a smart thing to do, but people are cheated. People are so cheated that they are confused about what will happen. What will happen? That’s what will happen. We were created from here. We will return here again to earth. Then, the second time is different.

There is no space shuttle. There is no space rocket. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will bring them all to their places in the most beautiful way. Those who belong to paradise will go to paradise. Those who belong to hell will go to hell. Those left in the middle will stand for a while then Allāh ﷻ will hold them accountable as He ﷻ wants.

So this is not something that people say, “We know” about. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives people something, He ﷻ gives them knowledge so that they see their helplessness. Some don’t see their helplessness, they go among people as if they know more. As much precious mines there are in dunyā, as much jewels there are, there are a million, a billion more in the sky. That’s what a person can’t get.

They say, “How are we going to get it? What are we going to do?” This is where it stops. Come and get it, let me see if you can get it. That means Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives us this as an example so that you may know your helplessness, so that you may return to Allāh ﷻ, so that you may return to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, so that you seek mercy and compassion from Allāh ﷻ.

He ﷻ is showing you this so that you seek forgiveness from Allāh ﷻ. But mankind is cheated very easily by shayṭān. There are some people who say they are smart. Those who claim they are smart are the ones deceived the most.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ not separate us from the right way. Because Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created man in a way that the person who strives to make you better makes you worse. He turns you into a useless creature in every way. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created us in the most beautiful form. And the other, the shayṭān is striving to turn us into the worst possible form.

May Allāh ﷻ protect us. May Allāh ﷻ not take our minds, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Al-Fatiha.
