Our Prophet ﷺ is Our Source

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.

It is the beginning of the month of Muharram and its most blessed days. It will be the end of the Haram/Sacred months around the 10th-11th. There were many events in this month, both good and bad. All of them happened by the will and wish of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. They are tests for mankind.

Mankind cannot tell what is Halal and Haram, good and bad according to their own minds. Whatever Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla ordered, it is so. We have to follow it. Do not commit a sin by interfering in things you don’t know and you don’t need. Do not do so while trying to do good. Do not show things that are not a worship as a worship. And accept what is a worship. Do it, because Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla showed the way of our Holy Prophet ﷺ to Muslims, to mankind. He ﷻ showed him ﷺ as an example and a teacher. Whatever he ﷺ taught, do that.

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says, “Follow what I taught and those who come after me, the Khulafah Rashideen. Follow them and do what they teach”. Do not do things according to your own minds that are not in the religion. All the things that are in the religion are clear. The worship, prayers, Tasbihat, fasting; everything is known in our religion through Madhhabs. Everyone should follow a Madhhab. The four Madhhabs are Haqq/true Madhhabs. Those who follow them will be saved.

Tariqahs are based on Madhhabs and follow them too. The Imams of Madhhabs had taken virtue from Tariqah. They accepted it and had their Shaykhs. They showed the beautiful way. Those who are outside Tariqah, those who are not in Tariqah are certainly wrong. They don’t want to do goodness to people, because who are not in Tariqah have arrogance. Shaytan can cheat them in every way.

Who are in Tariqah are not so. Who are in Tariqah - All the Sahabah were following our Holy Prophet ﷺ. They were next to him ﷺ. And the main source is there. Shukr to Allah ﷻ, our source is our Holy Prophet ﷺ. We follow him ﷺ and the way he ﷺ shows us. Those outside that, certainly have a bad intention, and do not want to do goodness. Because those who don’t accept the truth strive to make up a way according to their own minds. And they show it to people as a worship, whereas it is has no relation at all. May Allah ﷻ give guidance to people and show them the right way insha’Allah. May He ﷻ show them the Haqq/truth. May they accept the Haqq/truth insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Our’an Khatms, Surahs and Ayat, Tasbihat, Salawat and Duas. May Allah ﷻ accept them all. We gift them firstly to the great soul of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, the souls of his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, especially to our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, Hajjah Anne Sultan, Hala Sultan, the souls of all of our late relatives. For goodness to come and evil to be gone, for protection from the conditions and Fitnahs of this world, in order not to be separated from the right way. May those who are not on the right way join the right way. May they live in abundance, Barakah and safety insha’Allah.

Bi-Hurmati l-Fatihah.
