The Real Happiness

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, Allāh ﷻ has given us this chance to be here again. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, they were blessed days, especially Shā’bān, a blessed month. And we are gathering for the sake of Allāh ﷻ, Allāh ﷻ is happy with us. This is the most important thing for the life of Muslims. This is the meaning of life; not to travel to see that and or travel for the pleasure of your ego. No.

Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, for the sake of Allāh ﷻ, many people, many believers, Muslims, Mu’min, Mu’minah were here only for the sake of Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ bless them. May Allāh ﷻ give them more īmān, in shā’a Llāh. May He ﷻ give them happiness. The real happiness is to be with Allāh ﷻ, with Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam, with awliyā’u Llāh, with mashāyikh. This is the real happiness. In shā’a Llāh, Allāh ﷻ accepts your ibadah, your efforts. All what you’ve done for Allāh ﷻ, your intention, Allāh ﷻ accepts all.

We are nothing. We are here for only in the shape of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim. Once, he was coming to London from Cyprus, I was there that time, maybe 40 years ago or something like this. He said, qā’im maqām, which means instead of me. So, for this, we are nothing. Mawlānā Shaykh, Mashāyikh, are putting us to make you happy, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ bless them all the time. May their himmah, their presence be with us. This is very important.

Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, we are happy with you because Mashāyikh are happy with you. And, in shā’a Llāh, if Allāh ﷻ wills, we come again and again. But we are also hoping that Sayyidinā Al-Mahdī comes this year. That time, it will be (more) happier, more blessed for us. This is our intention, all our hope, in shā’a Llāh. Because this year is also Ḥajjul Akbar I think. Mawlānā Shaykh was saying about Ḥajjul Akbar that Sayyidunā Al-Mahdī will most possibly appear in the year of Ḥajjul Akbar. It can be in any year, but this is more possible for Sayyidinā Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām. So, we are hoping, in shā’a Llāh, next year to come with him; not with plane or so.

In shā’a Llāh, because the whole world is hopeless. No hope in technology, in power, in this, in that. This is not giving happiness for people, but giving miseries, giving sadness, giving bad things. The best thing that will give happiness for the whole world is Sayyidunā Al-Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām.

In shā’a Llāh, we ask Allāh ﷻ, we pray for Allāh ﷻ, we make du’ā’ for Allāh ﷻ to send him, in shā’a Llāh. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, may Allāh ﷻ make you hidāyah for people, all people, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Al-Fatiha.
