Think for Your Akhirah

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 we came again and met our people. They love Allah ﷻ, we love Allah ﷻ, and we meet on this love together. Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam says, “You must love each other - You must love Allah ﷻ and Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam and after, you must love each other.”

AlhamduliLlah we are here for this – for the sake of Allah ﷻ, for the love of Allah ﷻ. We are in this place which is a blessed place. Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam called this Majlis, this place/gathering “Paradise”. He ﷺ said, “Take from this fruit of Paradise as much as you can take.”

Wherever we are living, in any place, AlhamduliLlah you can find Paradise everywhere in this world. Where? In casino, or here, there? No, there is not Paradise, it is hell. Paradise is this place, which Allah ﷻ loves. The place which Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla is not happy with and He ﷻ hates is hell. People are even running and going [there]. They thought that they are maybe enjoying themselves, but there’s no benefit. Even for the body, it’s not good. It’s not good for anything, only good for shaytan.

But AlhamduliLlah we are in this place. People who are clever must be in such places. They must listen for Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, for the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam, for the Sahabah, for the Awliya. They are the most clever people Allah ﷻ created. Clever people are not those who make cars or make guns or make other things – this is for Dunya. To be clever, you must make for the next life.

People of old times, they offered someone to be Wazīr. Wazīr means the Prime minister of the President in old times. It is a very high position, but he refused. People said, “What! How did you refuse this? We thought you were clever”. He said, “I refused this because after this, it will maybe take me down. If it takes me down, it is worse. Here I’m happy; not going up or coming down.”

For this, in Dunya a person can be a President for his whole life, maybe a billionaire for his whole life, but there’s an end for this life. For this, you must think for the other life. Clever people are those who think for their Akhirah. And this, AlhamduliLlah they opened here for the sake of Allah ﷻ. May Allah ﷻ help them and make it more and more insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ accept this Khidmah/service, and may Allah ﷻ make it Wasila/means for Hidayah/guidance for people. Thank you very much.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
