Scholars are Inheritors of Prophets

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 Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad. Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

The Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says:

The ‘Ulama, scholars or near scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets. And,

“The scholars of my Ummah are like the Prophets of Banī Israīl.” This is a big value for the scholar who is on the way of the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam. They are very precious and very important people.

I just heard now that Sheikh Mahmud Efendi rahmatu Llahi ‘alayhi passed away today. He was very strong and he has thousands maybe a million of followers. He was near ‘Ulama, and he defends and makes people follow the Sunnah of the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, and teaches them knowledge. And he was also Naqshbandi. What will we do? The Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says that when some ‘Alim passes away, all what he left will continue until Qiyamah.

May Allah ﷻ make his rank higher and higher. And insha’Allah we also be in Jannah together. May Allah ﷻ help us because this is a big loss. And insha’Allah he left after him thousands, five hundred thousand people. Insha’Allah they will continue this good way, and may Allah ﷻ reward him for what every one of them does. May Allah ﷻ help Islam and Muslims.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
