The Way of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim

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.

Today is both the holy day of Jumah and the Urs of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. Many days have passed. As they pass, our meeting of these holy beings becomes closer. Nobody is going to stay in this world. It is important that a person’s goodness stays and people get benefit from him. Allah ﷻ sent all Prophets ‘alayhimu s-salam as a benefit to people. Then He sent their Sahabah and Awliya’uLlah who believe in them. All of them are for the benefit of mankind. They wanted benefit and goodness to mankind; they did not wish badness to them. However, despite that, people showed oppression and badness to them. As it is the order of Allah ﷻ, the way of Allah ﷻ, they treated badness with goodness. Goodness is always useful. Badness is always harmful; no benefit comes out of badness.

People claim that they are smart and do completely the opposite. Why do they do so? Because shaytan is cheating people and then the ego is cheating them. They don’t accept goodness. Ego doesn’t want goodness but you have to educate it. The Prophets, Sahabah and Awliya are teaching this duty to people so that people educate their egos and become good. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim lived all his life based on this. And after his passing away, many people who have never met him are reaching guidance through him as a Karāmāh (miracle) by seeing him in a dream. People who are out of Islam are becoming Muslim and the so-called Muslims who don’t know about Islam are reaching guidance. May Allah ﷻ increase his Maqam. May we all walk on his beautiful way. Tariqa is the way. The way is going to our Holy Prophet ﷺ and from our Holy Prophet ﷺ to Allah ﷻ. It is the straight way without crookedness. May Allah ﷻ give strength to us and to our Iman. May we gain their pleasure insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
