Love for the Sake of Allah ﷻ

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. Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

AlhamduliLlah after 2 years or more, we come again, we meet our brothers in Tariqa and Islam. AlhamduliLlah our hearts are always together. For this, when we meet again it is just like we have always been very near. But physically, of course we miss our brothers, Murids, Mashayikh and Imams masha’Allah. AlhamduliLlah, may Allah ﷻ make it happen again.

In Dunya - it is not forever here. So sometimes we cannot find people once again. But for Akhirah - if we don’t find them here, in Akhirah we will be together forever insha’Allah.

Because when Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created our souls, they were together. The Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam says, . When Allah ﷻ created the souls they were coming together - some of them loved each other and some of them did not love each other and became enemies. This was before Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created our bodies; He ﷻ created our souls.

So on that day, before the creation of our bodies, the souls that were loving each other, when they come to this world they also love each other. The souls that do not love each other and that hated each other, they become enemies in this world. For this, we are alhamduliLlah happy that our souls love good people, and are not loving bad people. This is a big Ni’mah/favor from Allah ﷻ to us.

Because you cannot buy love with money. Many people even give anything to make people love them. And maybe people pretend to love them but really when there is no benefit, no money, and not any goodness for their

l Adil ego, they quickly move away from each other. For this, love for [the sake of] Allah ﷻ is very important. Our Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam said and Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla even said in the Qur’an that if you give anything to people, you cannot collect them; this is from Allah ﷻ. They put their love.

The Sahabah even sacrificed themselves for the love of Allah ﷻ and for the love of the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. This is what the Mushriks/polytheists and others couldn’t do. The Sahabah were few, [there were] small and not big gatherings. And they would all the time win against the Mushriks. Because the Mushriks are going [to battle] for benefit, for Dunya, for money, for gold, but the Mu’mins/believers were going for the love of Allah ﷻ. They cannot leave and run away because they know that Allah ﷻ will ask them: “You ran away from battle for your ego?” So they would quickly come back to themselves, and they sacrificed themselves for the sake of Allah ﷻ.

This is very important. The clever one does this. If he isn’t a clever one, he is just like an animal thinking [only] for Dunya and for the benefit of Dunya. Real benefit is for Akhirah. For this, we must teach this to our families and our children.

We are here, Allah ﷻ put our Rizq/provision here. But Ar-Razzaq, who gives Rizq, is Allah ﷻ. So you can be anywhere in the world, and you will get benefit for Dunya and [get] your Rizq. Maybe Allah ﷻ wrote your Rizq in the end of the world, you will be there. But don’t think that you can get this Rizq by yourself. No. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla wrote where you will take your provision, where you will drink, where you will eat, what you will eat, in which place; all of this is by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. So you must not forget this.

You must remember Allah ﷻ in every minute and every second. Remembering Allah ﷻ is Dhikru Llah. This is very important. And when you remember Allah ﷻ you will be 24 hours in the Dhikr of Allah ﷻ, remembering Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

This is what Tariqa is teaching us for our life. Just remember Allah ﷻ and you will pray, give Zakat, not make Haram/forbidden and not oppress people. This is our life, Muslim and Tariqa life. When you remember Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, Allah ﷻ rewards you for everything and every movement. Allah ﷻ makes you higher and makes your life better and gives you light/Nur. May Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla make us do this insha’Allah.

l Adil AlhamduliLlah with the Barakah of the Mashayikh and the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam, we are safe insha’Allah. But after everything that happened, now they also said that there is too much illness, virus, and bacteria. But we must also know that all of this is also from Allah ﷻ. Because who will die because of this also is not outside the knowledge of Allah ﷻ; Ḥāshā (far from it). Allah ﷻ knows. Sometimes, He ﷻ is sending this illness or whatnot - who will die/pass away will get it then, and who still has some time will be safe. So don’t worry.

May Allah ﷻ save us, and the most important thing is to save our Iman, our belief. This is our life, nobody will be forever here. May Allah ﷻ give you a long life with Iman and Islam, you and your families insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
