Mawlana’s Light is Everlasting

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.

May we all be neighbors to our Holy Prophet ﷺ insha’Allah. This was all Mawlana Shaykh Nazim ever wanted. He used to say that this world is garbage and garbage is useless. What’s important is Ākhirah. This is what he used to tell people. He spent all his life on this way in order to show the right way. He was the light and he showed the light and beauty. He did it by both telling and doing. Rarely do people do what they say; they are very few. Lucky are those who follow him and try to be like him. Of course, we cannot be 100% like him, not even 50%. Only 5% would be great, but we cannot even do that. Therefore, may Allah ﷻ forgive us and treat us with mercy. Our intention is to be like him and to do what he used to do. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says that the intention of people is better than their actions because doing is hard. And when we make intention, it is better. Allah ﷻ accepts according to our intentions.

The holy way of Mawlana is the way of Allah ﷻ, the way of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Good people are on this way. Certainly, those who follow this way reach goodness at last. They ask how it happens. It happens because even thieves who go up to ‘Arafat become Hajjis. There is a Hadith like this. A person who is present there on that exact time receives his share from that manifestation. The one who enters this way has his benefit too. It becomes a means for his salvation. Certainly, light enters his heart. Even if he visits once in life, something enters him. And finally, it will be a means for goodness to him.

Therefore, the Karāmāt (miracles) and light of Mawlana are everlasting. His followers have been increasing all over the world since his passing away. People we have never met before come and benefit from his light. How lucky are those who benefit from it. Lucky are not wealthy people but those who are bound to and love such holy people. People who love such people are lucky. It is eternal luck. You can be lucky and successful in this world but poor in Ākhirah; that is short luck. But thank Allah ﷻ our luck is forever.

Mawlana passed away seven years ago. We say that he passed away but, thank Allah ﷻ, he is always with us. His Karāmāt and support are always with us. Therefore, there is no separation. No separation in Dunyā and in Ākhirah insha’Allah. We dedicate all our good deeds to him because he showed us this way. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says that when you dedicate your deeds, they are not deducted from you but reach them as well. Whoever you dedicate them to, your mothers, fathers, relatives, Allah ﷻ gives equally to you and to them. Therefore, our dedication to him is to our own benefit. Because when our imperfect deeds reach him, Allah ﷻ gives Thawab according to his Maqam and we receive from that Thawab too. When there are ten Thawab for us, they get a thousand Thawab. We will receive from those thousand rewards too insha’Allah.

May Allah ﷻ bless this day. It is Jumah and we are in the last days of Ramadan. Laylatu l-Qadr is close, may it be blessed too. Insha’Allah our Laylatu l-Qadr is every night, thank Allah ﷻ. With their blessings, it is always every night. May Allah ﷻ accept it. May Allah ﷻ not harm this country and may it serve Islam. There are many enemies. There are many shaytans. However, Allah ﷻ is with us. Insha’Allah we will reach Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam soon. We wait that he comes and brings the world to Islam. May he defeat Kufr and bring victory to Islam insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
