The Greatest Wisdom

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu Billāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismillāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi Rasūlillāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

The Mashayikh strive to show the way to people. They strive to teach about the truth, goodness and the wisdom of why we were created. The true Mashayikh and true Murshids want to teach about this wisdom, and not anything else.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, BismiLlahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim, ‘ ’, ‘Yu’til-hikmata man yashā’u, waman yu’tal-hikmata faqad ūtiya khayran kathīrā’, ‘He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given much good.’ (Qur’ān 02:269). Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave wisdom to some people. A person who attains this wisdom attains great goodness. This goodness doesn’t belong only to him. He transmits this goodness, this beauty to others. Certainly, our Holy Prophet ﷺ comes first in this. He has the greatest wisdom. No one has as much wisdom as he does. All the rest who have wisdom are not even a drop in the ocean.

The greatest wisdom is Iman, to believe in Allah ﷻ. A person who attains and owns it doesn’t care about anything. People who care are without wisdom. They are people without Iman. They are people whose lives are empty, and their Akhirah is bad. They don’t do goodness to people; instead they do badness and teach badness. They think that they are doing something great and strive to become famous. They are people without wisdom. But those who are on the way of Allah ﷻ, those who bring goodness and benefit to people have not spent their lives in vain, and their Akhirah will be prosperous.

We see the condition of the world. No need to be afraid and worried about it. It is the law of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Since the world was created, it hasn’t been at rest. Those who are at rest are the ones who are with Allah ﷻ. Those who are not with Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla are never at rest and are without peace. Therefore, as Mawlana Shaykh Nazim used to say, those who stay at home are in safety. They shouldn’t be scared. Whatever is going to happen is by the will of Allah ﷻ. We won’t stay in this world forever. There will be Qiyamah. There will be the Day of Judgment. And we will return to our actual homeland. They call it the eternal rest. There is no eternal rest here. The eternal rest is in Akhirah. May Allah ﷻ give a good life to all of us. And may our Akhirah be prosperous insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
