Being in Ṭarīqah with the Truthful

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

[…] Be with the sādikīn, truthful people. Truthful people have become very rare in this time. Truthful means those who don’t lie and don’t deceive people. Be with them so that Allāh ﷻ loves you, and Allāh ﷻ bestows barakah upon you.

People have been given mind and reason by Allāh ﷻ, but most people don’t use their mind. They do everything for the sake of dunyā; they act like clowns, they do this and that, thinking they will “gain something.” But they gain nothing. The gain is with the truthful people. You gain both here and hereafter. Those who are with Allāh ﷻ never lose. That’s what we want to say.

May Allāh ﷻ be pleased with you. This is the way of our mashāyikh. This way, by the permission of Allāh ﷻ, is the way of the truthful, all the way to our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Therefore, being in this ṭarīqah is the way to happiness. The way to happiness is through ṭarīqah, through the mashāyikh. Because this goes all the way to our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

The Jamā’ah is not like that. The Jamā’ah goes only so far. What’s after that is unclear. Therefore, what’s firm is the ṭarīqah. There are forty-one ṭarīqahs. Forty of them come from Sayyidinā Ali. Ours comes from Sayyidinā Abu Bakr, but it still reaches Sayyidinā Ali. They are all perfect ṭarīqahs, but the one that no one can even utter a word against is the Naqshbandī Ṭarīqah.

Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, it is a great favor. Whoever attains it gains the love of Allāh ﷻ, and the pleasure and love of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This is our demand here and hereafter. “إِلَهِي أَنْتَ مَقْصُوْدِي وَرِضَاكَ مَطْلُوْبِي”, “Ilahi Anta maqsudi wa Ridaka matlubi”, “O, my Lord! You are my objective and Your Pleasure is my request.” You are our purpose, and Your pleasure is our desire.

May Allāh ﷻ grant us all steadfastness on this way. May He ﷻ also guide others, in shā’a Llāh. May they also taste this beauty, in shā’a Llāh. May they not chase after dunyā and do unnecessary things. As we said, the righteous will win. There is no need to do anything else. Those who think they will win by chasing after shayṭān will never win. May Allāh ﷻ protect us.

May Allāh ﷻ keep us all steadfast. May Allāh ﷻ be pleased with you. Mashā’Allah, Murad Efendi is also here. May this be perpetual, in shā’a Llāh. He constantly offers hospitality and serves those who come and go. May Allāh ﷻ be pleased with him. Mashā’Allah, all the murīds and grandchildren of Mawlānā Shaykh Sharafuddīn love us very much. We love them too. May Allāh ﷻ grant them long lives, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Al-Fatiha.
