A Maqam Until Qiyamah

Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says,

(Qur’ān 10:62). ‘Alā inna Awliyā’ Llahi lā kḥawfun ‘alayhim wa lā hum yaḥzanūn’, ‘Verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve.’ Awliya’uLlah are the beloved of Allah ﷻ. Allah ﷻ loves them. And they don’t have any anxiousness or any sadness or any unhappiness because they are with Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla.

AlhamduliLlah Mawlana Sheikh lived many years here in this place (Sheikh Nazim Dergah in St. Anne’s, London). Also in Peckham Mosque. Many Ramadans, for three months, he was here and there. The place where Awliya’uLlah stay for 40 days becomes a Maqam. When you visit, he is present there and you take Barakah. This is for Awliya’uLlah. Allah ﷻ gave them this thing to help people. Because the only Reality is Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, we are all like a dream. But the place where a Maqam is, where it is for worshipping, for calling for Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, for Hidayah/guidance, for the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam, to teach the love of Prophet ﷺ, the love of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, it must be a Maqam for them until Qiyamah insha’Allah.

For this, Mawlana Sheikh says that when somebody has some issue, he can visit a Maqam, pray two Rak’aahs and ask Allah ﷻ for what he wants. For this, people who are near here or other place, sometimes you can go and remember Mashayikh. Especially, many of our people have missed those days. Ramadan with Mawlana was like a feast; in Peckham for Tarawih and here for Sohbet and meeting. They were very nice days. So you can take this Barakah when you go visit and go

for the sake of Allah, for Allah to help you or for the sake of the Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam also, to continue this.

AlhamduliLlah Mawlana was very happy with this Mosque and Peckham Mosque and other Mosques. They become full masha’Allah every time. Every time, more and more people are coming, people who love them. From the love of Awliya, they love Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam and love Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. This is their teaching, and they are happy when more people are coming.

AlhamduliLlah we are thankful for them because with their Barakah, Allah ﷻ gives us. We cannot take this place with us when we pass away. With their Barakah, [there is] this Khidmah in this city in the middle of Europe, we are saying “Allah”, mentioning Allah and Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. This is a big favor that they have done for us. We are thankful for them. We are thankful for Allah ﷻ that He ﷻ gave us such a good thing. This is what we are in need for, not other things. The most important thing in our life is this insha’Allah – Iman and love of Allah ﷻ, love of Islam and love of Prophet salla Llahu aa’layhi wa sallam. This is Iman. Before, in Central Mosque [they asked], “What is Iman? What is Islam?” We are in Islam and more, with Iman. Not only Islam, we are in Islam and Iman. Iman is different. May Allah ﷻ bless them insha’Allah.

Normally, alhamduliLlah Mawlana was coming here from Rajab until after Eid. We cannot do this. They have masha’Allah spiritual power to collect all hearts and to bring people together for the love of Allah ﷻ. We continue with their Barakah insha’Allah. With their Barakah, all these new people are coming. We thank them. And now Ramadan is coming, may Allah ﷻ make it Mubarak/blessed for all of you. May Allah ﷻ keep you safe. Now we are in the end of times, there is Fitnah everywhere, there is war everywhere. But don’t worry. If you have Iman, everything is good for us. May Allah ﷻ keep us safe and may Allah ﷻ keep our Iman safe insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ make us beloved for Him ﷻ insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
