Allah’s ﷻ Orders Can be Done Easily

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.

“I’budu Allah wa-staqeemu Ilayh”, Worship Allah ﷻ and take a straight way to Him. It is an order. This order is for everyone; it is an order that can be done. It is not difficult, but the ego shows it as difficult. The orders and things we should do are clear. Everyone can do them easily.

Our Tariqah is not difficult too, Shukr to Allah ﷻ. Some people think Tariqah is difficult. No. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave the religion and worship according to the souls of people. Just like He ﷻ created our bodies, He ﷻ gave worship as food for our souls. Doing it has a great benefit for people here and even more hereafter.

But you must be on the right way. The way shown is Tariqah and Shari’ah - both of them together. When one is weak, the other becomes weak too. But when both of them are together, you go on the real way of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. And that way is the way of beauty, the way of happiness.

The things done outside our religion, outside Shari’ah and Tariqah are unnecessary. We don’t need them. Some people say they want to do this and that. Once, three men came to our Holy Prophet salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. When they said, “We pray whole night. We fast all the time. We don’t get married”, our Holy Prophet salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “I do everything; I sleep. I don’t always fast. And I get married”. When people do too much for some time and then quit, it is not ordered to do so. It is unnecessary. Or, there are other knowledge; knowledge of Jinns, knowledge of the hidden. They are also unnecessary things. We are not ordered to deal with them.

Many people while trying to do something good, they do the wrong thing instead of the good. They do things that serve their egos. The pleasure of Allah ﷻ is in our way, in our Shari’ah. And it is not necessary to do more.

The Mashayikh did the same. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim did the same. If you saw what he did in his life, it was everything people could do. Of course, their duties are different. But what they taught us was what our Holy Prophet salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam teaches.

Therefore, do not do badness while willing to do goodness. Do not commit a sin while willing to attain Thawab. There are some things that are not in the religion at all, but many people show them as if they are in religion. That is even worse. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May He ﷻ let us see the truth and follow the truth insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
