The Greatest Respect

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya Sadat As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Dastur Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghestani, Sheikh Nazim al-Haqqani. Madad. Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.

In the manners of Islam and the way shown by our Holy Prophet ﷺ, Adab (good manners) comes first. They come from Adab; to respect, to honor and to glorify. Firstly, to glorify Allah Azza wa Jalla, then our Holy Prophet ﷺ. The greatest respect among people should be made to our Holy Prophet ﷺ. After that, it is Wajib to respect all the other prophets, companions, and Awliya. And it is Fard especially towards our Holy Prophet ﷺ.

This Adab was in our nation, but now this new group came out deceiving them all. They say that it’s not acceptable and that it’s Shirk (polytheism), whereas they are the ones who are committing Shirk. Those who do not honor our Holy Prophet ﷺ will suffer all kinds of bad ends. Even if they are saved in this world, they cannot be saved in the hereafter. Because without the intercession of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, it is difficult.

Therefore, it is our duty to respect, honor and glorify him. It is an order. It is Allah’s ﷻ order, and it must be fulfilled. The one who does it will be comfortable both in this world and in the hereafter. He will become a beloved servant of Allah ﷻ, and he will become from the beloved Ummah of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. If you do it, it is beneficial for you. If you do not do it, it is harmful. The shaytan is deceiving the people. The shaytan does not want goodness for you. He wants badness for you, he wants harm for you. And so are those who are with him. That’s why we are with Allah ﷻ, and we are with our Holy Prophet ﷺ insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ keep us all steadfast insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
