A Long Life with Good Deeds

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.

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ states:

“The best of you is he whose life is long and his deeds are good.” The best people among us are those who live a long life with pious deeds. Thank Allah ﷻ, Mawlana Sheikh Nazim lived a long life but according to us, it was short. We thought that he would live longer than a 100 years but the will of Allah ﷻ was different, thank Allah ﷻ. All his life passed in goodness and charity. It was all by the witness of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. He was a favorable person. Who is favorable? A person who has earned the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. The person who earns the pleasure of Allah ﷻ is the perfect person. That is the highest rank people can reach. Ranks given by Allah ﷻ are true ranks and high ones. Ranks given by people are useless. They can claim that they are so and so, but as long as it is without Allah’s ﷻ pleasure, they have no value. May Allah ﷻ be pleased with us.

Millions of people have reached guidance through him. With his blessings and favors, this goodness will last forever for Mawlana Sheikh Nazim and at the same time for his followers. It is a great honor to follow him and to deserve the beautiful things he did. Those who leave his way knowingly and show other things as true will not earn anything. Those who want to educate their ego and obey their Sheikh will be in profit Allah ﷻ willing. Allah ﷻ will help them. Allah ﷻ will give them according to their intentions. “How will we do it? How will we train our ego?” Some people go too far in educating their egos. It is not so difficult. Be honest, don’t be unfair to anyone and your worship will be enough for you. There is no burden that you cannot carry. Our Tariqa is the Naqshbandi Tariqa, the core of Islam, Islam itself. It is to do 100% what our Holy Prophet ﷺ used to do insha’Allah. And that is not difficult insha’Allah. Sometimes it is hard for the ego but when you educate your ego, it will also be easy Allah ﷻ willing. May Allah ﷻ be pleased with our Sheikh. May his station be high. Insha’Allah we love him and we will be together in Ākhirah insha’Allah. We will be together forever then, without separating insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
