The Time is Near

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.

Our Tariqa is with Sohbah with Irshad insha’Allah and Khayr/goodness is in the Jama’ah/gathering. Insha’Allah those who are coming here, their intention is for the sake of Allah ﷻ. We are not giving money, we are not giving anything. We only give, insha’Allah for you and for us also, the important thing is to get this Barakah insha’Allah. Happiness of Allah ﷻ – Allah ﷻ to be happy with us. This is all our intention.

We have a pure intention and Allah ﷻ gives [rewards] for it. Even if you say an intention but you cannot do it, Allah ﷻ rewards you., “Actions are but by intentions”. This was the first Hadith of the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam that they taught us in Madrasah. This is a big favor for Ummati Muhammad salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. You make intention and for this intention, Allah ﷻ rewards you.

Mawlana Sheikh Nazim al-Haqqani used to say every day, “My intention is to destroy Kufr”. This is a big intention - to finish Kufr/unbelief. Allah ﷻ is giving. When Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam says something, it is Haqq and true. We must believe this. Mawlana Sheikh’s intention to destroy Kufr, Allah ﷻ will reward him for it.

But it will be insha’Allah. This day also will come, which Allah ﷻ promised the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. Before Qiyamah, the whole world will become Muslim, Islam, Peace. These hypocrite people say “peace”. They show themselves as angels, as very merciful, and they show Islam as violence. But in reality, Islam by its name means Peace. So no peace in this world until the whole world becomes Muslim. This is the promise of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and it will be.

They even said that this is the second, “Century of Happiness”. The first one was in the time of Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. And this will be in the end of times, time of Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām and Isa ‘alayhi s-salām. This is the belief of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jama’ah. Maybe some people mix up. They say that this is not from belief. No, it is from our belief. We studied this 50 years ago when we were in Madrasah in Damascus. The most strong Madrasah in the knowledge of Islam was this Madrasah, and anything taught there cannot be out of Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jama’ah and Shari’ah. It was [following] Hanafi Madhhab.

So don’t be looking at and listening to these new people coming [out] to destroy the belief of Islam. The belief of Islam is this, what the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam is saying. In the end of times, the promise of Allah ﷻ is that the whole world will be in Islam, will be Muslim. Without Islam, you see people everywhere eating each other, killing each other, destroying without any mercy, not looking for black, white, Christian, Muslim; whatever they find they destroy, they kill. This is because they are, Batil/falsehood, not right. The right is only what Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla [says], mercy and every good thing in Islam.

Of course, shaytan and his followers are not happy with this. But we are happy and we are waiting. Allah’s ﷻ promise will be. No need for you to go outside and to make any trouble or anything. When the time comes, insha’Allah it will be.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni rRaḥīm: ‘ ’, ‘Alaysa s-Subhu biqarīb’, ‘Is not the morning near?’ (Qur’ān 11:81). Sayyidina Musa ‘alayhi s-salām was waiting for Allah ﷻ to finish Pharoah. And Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla said, ‘ ’, ‘Alaysa s-Subhu bi-qarīb’. Subh means Fajr/day time - from night, it is near, not so far. Sayyidina Musa was waiting for 40 years. When he heard that “Morning/day time is near” and he is in night time, he thought that it will be the next morning. But he waited 40 years after this for Allah ﷻ to destroy Pharoah. So we need Sabr/patience.

When the time comes, it cannot be delayed any minute. Insha’Allah everything happening in the world shows that oppression is coming to its top [peak]. So when something comes to its peak, it will go down. So this Kufr and every bad action, every bad thing is coming to its top in this world. Even when you are in your house, they are running after you to destroy you, destroy your family and destroy your happiness; so it must be near insha’Allah. For this, we are waiting to reach this good time when there are no borders, no killing, and everybody is in peace and happiness and Barakah. In that time there will be Barakah also, and nobody will be looking for gold or for money. Because the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam is saying also that in the end of times when Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām comes, all the treasures, all the gold will appear. So nobody will even want this, Sadaqa RasuluLlah salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam/RasuluLlah salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam has spoken the truth.

He ﷺ said that somebody will go out to give Zakat, looking to find one poor man to give him, but he cannot find anybody, nobody wants; everybody has and nobody wants. The Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam says that after this they will come to, Baytu l-mal/House of Wealth of Muslims. It was like collecting money for Zakat to give to poor people, and they will give it for Baytu l-mal to take it. Because you must give Zakat to clean your money, to clean yourself. If you leave Zakat in your money, it is of course dirty. When you give, it will become a Zakat for you and a reward for you. But if you don’t give, it will be dirty. All your money will be dirty if you leave it there. So for this, they must give and when they cannot find anybody [in need], they put it in Baytu l-mal.

AlhamduliLlah this is insha’Allah very near. We hope to reach this time insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ give you a long life to see this insha’Allah. Here Dunya, this is it. But for Akhirah, it is more important. Insha’Allah in Akhirah we will also be together in Jannah, [just] as we meet here. We are happy, for more than 2 years we didn’t see our brothers, our Ikhwan and Murids. Insha’Allah in Jannah we can see them every time. This is also good tidings from the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
