Bismillahi Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim
Tariqatuna as-sohba wal khayru fil jam’iyya
Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Rasul Allah ﷺ, wa Mashayikhina Sheikh Nazim Adil Al-Haqqaniق, Sheikh Muhammad Ar-Rabbaniق

Prophet ﷺ had a day for each wife. Once it was the day of Hazreti Aisha and she was the most loved one for him ﷺ. He ﷺ prayed 2 raka’a at night and said:

“Ya Aisha, shall I tell you something that gives you so much thawab/reward like making one Umrah, and like making your parents and all the Muslims happy, and also like making one Khatm al-Qur’an before you sleep?”

She was waiting and thinking, as he ﷺ started to pray again:

“How can I make my parents and all the Muslims around happy? And make them pray for me? And how can I read the whole Qur’an in one night before I sleep? How can I take the thawab of Umrah?”

She was thinking like this, when the Prophet ﷺ finished his 2 rakats. So she asked:

“Ya Rasulullah ﷺ, how can I do this?”

He ﷺ answered:

Firstly, before you sleep read 3 Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad (Surah Al-Ikhlas). The reward of reading 3 Ikhlas is like reading khatm al-Qur’an, reading the whole Qur’an from beginning till end.

Secondly, before you sleep, you say 3 times:

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ

Rabbi-ghfirli waliwaalidayya wa lil-mu’mineena yawma yaqumul-hisab

That Allah forgive me, my parents, and all mu’mins (believers) on Judgment Day. Then your parents are happy with you, and all Muslims and mu’mins are also happy with you, and you are rewarded with thawab from your parents and Muslims.

Thirdly, before you sleep, read 3 times:

لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ۖ لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ يُحْيِى وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

La ilaha illa Allah, wahdahu la shareekalah, lahu l-mulku wa lahu l-hamd, yuhyi wa yumeet wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer

It gives you the thawab of Umrah.

This is a little bit long but insha’Allah you learn it.

Subhanallah, Prophet ﷺ was teaching us the small, small things that make us rewarded very big, very highly. He ﷺ was giving us small jewels, simple small rules that we can easily make and get used to doing every night or every day, and yet get highly rewarded for.

The surahs of Al-Falaq and An-Nas are also very important.

Subhanallah, so many people come and say:

“We have magic, nazr/bad eye, we have people doing things to us.”

The cure is very simple. It is in these two surahs, a cure for every badness.

One day they made magic on Prophet ﷺ, and for one or two days he ﷺ was going like in a dream. Prophet ﷺ is protected, nothing is really affecting him ﷺ, but this is from Allah ﷻ. Prophet ﷺ experienced it and was teaching us how to face such things.

Jibril (AS) came and told him ﷺ that unbelievers made magic on him ﷺ. They made 11 knots from the hair of his ﷺ holy beard and threw it in the well. The Prophet ﷺ sent Hazreti Ali Karramallahu Wajhahu and he fixed it.

In that time Allah ﷻ sent these two surahs, Al-Falaq and An-Nas, to read. Both of them together are 11 ayahs: 5 in Falaq and 6 in Nas. Every ayah they read opened one knot.

Also, Prophet ﷺ was doing this before going to sleep. He used to read Surah Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Nas together, blow on his hands and pass it all over his body. He would do this 3 times.

So for each thing that is disturbing you, if you are not well or you have bad energy around you, read these 2 surahs in the morning and in the evening and blow over yourself like Prophet ﷺ was doing.

Subhanallah, today this came to me and it is very simple, and the surahs are very easy to learn by heart.

In Tariqah, when we are praying nafl, our Shaykhs advise people to read in the first raka’at after Fatiha two Al-Ikhlas, and in the second raka’a after Fatiha one Al- Ikhlas. So it is 3 Ikhlas in the prayer. It is also rewarded like khatmu l-Qur’an, like reading the Qur’an from beginning to end.

May Allah ﷻ protect you from every badness. Keep this small thing as a Sunnah of Prophet ﷺ and as a protection for you from every badness.

Also, give sadaqah for every intention or need. If you feel you are not well or something is happening to you, just give sadaqa. Keep one box in your house and put sadaqa every day. At least one lira, one euro, one pound, whichever your currency, as the sadaqa for that day. This also keeps you and protects you insha’Allah.

Al-Fatiha.
