Safe in Dunya and Akhirah

AlhamduliLlah Allah ﷻ made this happen, to meet again in England. We visited many cities and gave Sohbets. And this is the last Sohbet [we will give] for outside the Dergah in St. Anne’s. We are thanking Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, insha’Allah we meet again with the Barakah of Allah ﷻ and Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam.

Time is passing quickly, running quickly. 35 years ago, we were here with Mawlana for the burial of my wife, she was very young. Mawlana was here and he attended her Janazah. And since that time, insha’Allah everytime we come, we visit here. It is the end of the tour.

These people, Al Saliheen wal Salihat/The Righteous Men and Women, are Barakah for [the place] where they are. This is a blessing from Allah ﷻ. Because they said, “Maybe we take her to Damascus, to Sham to burry her” but Mawlana did not accept. He said, “Where a person passes away, it is better to hurry to burry him in that place.” Because there are angels/Malaika who have a job to carry Al Saliheen wal Salihat to Makkah, Madinah, or to Damascus. No need to take them by plane or by car to burry them where you’d like. You can burry them where they die, and these angels will take them to where is best for them.

And the other imporant subject also is that who’s burried in Makkah, Madinah, Damascus or in a holy place, if they do not deserve this, they also take them from there and put them in another place. Don’t think that those who do not respect the Prophet ﷺ, and do not respect the Sahabah and Ahlu l-Bayt can be there. That those who are making Fitnah, if they die there and are buried there, that they will be there – it is not acceptable for Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. They quickly take them and throw them in another place.

This has happened many times. One of them was in the Ottoman time. She was a Christian princess but she became Muslim. She loved one Muslim man. And with his love, she loved Islam and became Muslim. Her father was angry with her and didn’t let her to marry him or to go out. From this love for him and for Islam, day after day, she became very ill and she passed away. They burried here in a place. This Muslim guy found a way, he said: “She is Muslim, we must take her to a Muslim graveyard and not let her burried under Christian or non-Muslim graveyard. This is not suitable for her. We must at least do that for her.” He found a way and opened her grave, and he was very surprised. He was looking and she was not there. What was there? One Munafik/hypocrite from his village, Allah ﷻ put him there. And when he came back to the village, he asked “Who died here?” They said “This man” [the hypocrite]. They quickly opened the grave, and they saw her in this grave, alhamduliLlah. This has happened many times. This is one example from the history of the Ottomans. There are many of them like this.

So a Mu’min/believer whom Allah ﷻ loves, Allah ﷻ will not leave him in this Dunya or Akhirah to be away from Him ﷻ. All the time, he will be with Him ﷻ. For this, we are thanking Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla for the Ni’mah of Islam and the Ni’mah to be following our Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam, and connecting to him ﷺ. If you are not in Tariqah, you cannot connect to the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. All the Imam of Madhahib were connecting with the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam; this is Tariqah. Tariqah means – first [coming] from Sahabah, from Sayyidina Abu Bakr or Sayyidina Ali, after the Sahabah comes Tabi’in then Tabi al-Tabi’in. All of this, one by one. They gave the Khilafah from the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam, counting one after one, until today I take this Ijazah and from this Ijazah, I give you this Ijazah. From one to one, so there is nothing wrong between this.

But those who are saying, “We are doing good, no need for Tariqah.” They are going on maybe a little bit, and after that it will be cut and they are beginning a new thing. New thing – this is what’s as they say “Bid’ah”. Bid’ah is not what Wahhabi [people] are saying that Tariqah is Bid’ah. Real Bid’ah are those who are not following Tariqah.

Tariqah is like a chain from the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam to the end of times, to Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. When Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām comes, that time there will be no Madhhab, no Tariqah. Because all must be One: Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. This was what Mawlana Sheikh was saying to people and many people were misunderstanding, thinking that from

now Tariqah is finished. No, Tariqah is from the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam until Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām, connected together with a strong chain.

And when reaching the end of times, everybody must follow Mahdi ‘alayhi ssalām. He is, “Absolute Mujtahid”. What he is saying, it is Tariqah, it is Shari’ah, it is Madhhab; all in One: Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. Why this? Because in that time, as there will be no religion except Islam in the whole world, also not anything, or a second thing will be over what Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi ssalām orders. He orders something, “We can do this like the other Madhhab, or like another thing” No. Who is following the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam must understand. This is his ﷺ successor and whom the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam gave good tidings about, saying: “There will come from my lineage one whose name is Muhammad. His father’s name is like my father’s name, and his mother’s name is also like my mother’s name.” This is a Hadith of the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. So it will be in this time, time of Mahdi ‘alayhi ssalām. We will also make Bay’ah with him and insha’Allah we will be with him. This will be:, “The Second Century of Happiness”, The Century of every good thing.

As we said, after this you cannot say we are Muslim but we are following a different way, no; no different, only one at that time. Now it is okay because we don’t have enough power to collect all of them. So everybody must follow Tariqah, and with Tariqah also Madhhab. Don’t forget this and don’t misunderstand. And with this also you must respect the Sahabah, especially the three Sahabah, Khulafa’i RasuluLlah ﷺ - who many shaytan people don’t accept - Sayyidina Abu Bakr, Sayyidina Omar and Sayyidina Othman radiya Llahu ‘anhum. Because many people claim that they are from Tariqah, and they are not respecting them and they even say bad words about them. This is not Tariqah, this is outside Tariqah and outside Islam also; no respect for the Prophet ﷺ, no fear from Allah ﷻ.

Our way is like this until Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. Those who accept this will all be safe with Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām. Those who don’t accept this will be finished, like others. In that time, how will they be finished? Allah ﷻ knows. He ﷻ will finish them, [so] you cannot find any one of them. Not any one of those who deny Sahabah, Ahlu l-Bayt and Awliya’uLlah; you will not find all of these at that time.

We are alhamduliLlah teaching from the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam’s sayings. Who accepts this, he is a winner. Who is stubborn – the first stubborn was shaytan – he will look like shaytan and will be with him, he will be

finished. AlhamduliLlah many people here know a little bit and see how those who are not on the way of the Prophet ﷺ are making problems. The first and biggest enemy for Islam is them; those who do not respect and do not accept this. Because they want to destroy Islam and they are cheated by shaytan and his followers. You cannot speak to them, they do not accept. They only shout, making people do things without any benefit; like what Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says to the people of hell, ‘ ’, ‘Then be patient or impatient - it is all the same for you. You are only being recompensed [for] what you used to do.’ (Qur’ān 52:16)

Be patient or not be patient, you will only be punished, you cannot be rewarded. Be with Allah ﷻ, with Mashayikh insha’Allah, with Awliya’uLlah and with Mu’minin, you will be safe here and hereafter. As we said, even if you are in the grave in the middle of Kuffar or nonbelievers, they will take you from there and put you on the other side. We also have one Christian man from Lebanon. His whole family are very strong Christians [in belief], and he became Muslim. He said, “If I died, because they are strong Christians, they will put me in a Christian graveyard. How can we manage that?” AlhamduliLlah no problem. The angels will take him. Insha’Allah he will reach Sayyidina Al Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām also because he is not so old. That time he will be free insha’Allah. Thank you very much.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
