Two Types Of Travel

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

قُلْ سِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُو

(Qur’ān 27:69). 

‘’Qul si‘irū fī l-’arḍ fāndhurū”

“Say to them “Travel in the land and see”. 

Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm. 

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Travel and see the sovereignty of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla in the world.” Take lessons and benefit from them. And bring benefit to people.

There are two types of traveling.There is traveling for Dunya and your ego,and there is traveling for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. Insha’Allah we are going for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. This time we are going to far places [Far East]. There are Muslims and non-Muslims in these places. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim has gathered the hearts of those people on this way. And they are going on this way. Beautiful seeds he had planted are growing and spreading. They are bringing benefit to people.

This way is the way of Allah ﷻ.It is a blessing from Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. As we said, there are definitely Muslims as well. But mankind sometimes goes astray. Sometimes some things don’t fit them. Shukr to Allah ﷻ, Tariqah and Shari’ah are one and together. And our trip is to show this way. Insha’Allah there will be benefit to us and to them.

As we said, mankind lives for Akhirah. This world is the farm of Akhirah. Whatever you plant here, you will reap it there. Shukr to Allah ﷻ. People had dove into Dunya. They don’t think about anything but Dunya. But they have woken up with the means of this way and kept on the way of Allah ﷻ. They kept on the way of Allah ﷻand did not care about Dunya. They used Dunya for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. That is necessary

too. 

Not for Dunya, but to remind about Him ﷻ

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

“Wa Dhakkir Fa’inna Adh-Dhikrá Tanfa`u Al-Mu’uminīn”, 

“And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.” 

(Qur’ān 51:55). 

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla tells to remind. Reminding brings benefit to people.

Therefore, insha’Allah may Allah ﷻmake us successful. May it be the means for new people to come to guidance and to join Islam. We are going to remind people about Akhirah, and may we help to bring the light into their hearts insha’Allah. We don’t have anything. It is the way of the Mashayikh. And through them, through their gaze, this beautiful way is reaching the hearts of people as light, as light of Islam all over the world insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ be pleased with all of you. May more people come to this right way.Because the way of shaytan seems easier for the ego. But its easiness is not good. 

Who follows his ego will be together with his ego. But people who go on the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will win. Insha’Allah may Allah ﷻ make us all from them.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
