Ask for Ease

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.

Shukr to Allāh ﷻ for these favours. We have reunited in the Maqām of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim, in the dergah with the brothers. These are great favours. May Allāh ﷻ not decrease His ﷻ favours from us.

We ask that He ﷻ treats us with beneficence both here and hereafter. With beneficence. Some people ask for tests and patience. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says not to ask for them. Don't ask for patience and tests. What you can carry is the beneficence of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Beneficence means He ﷻ will give you favours without suffering. He ﷻ will give you beauties. Ask for that, says our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. It is for the honor of our Holy Prophet’s ﷺ face that Allāh ﷻ sent him ﷺ as mercy to universes. We make Shukr to Allāh ﷻ for being from his ﷺ Ummah. These favours are the biggest favours of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Because this favour is a favour that doesn't finish. It is the favour of ākhirah. Even if the favours of dunyā don't finish, you will be gone. If they finish, it is the same. When those favours are not on the way of Allāh ﷻ, they have no benefit. There is more harm than benefit.

Therefore, everything is from the beneficence of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And the greatest beneficence is īmān. Of course, īmān is higher than Islām. Īmān is the first thing for those who are Muslim. Who has īmān reaches the highest level, says our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. His qualities are always - Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says, “Lā yum’inu aḥadukum ḥattá akūna aḥabbu ilayhi min nafsi." Your īmān cannot be perfect

unless you love your brother. Īmān of someone who doesn't love our Holy Prophet ﷺ more than everything cannot be perfect. Therefore, īmān is higher in level than Islām. Islām is the most normal thing for people. And then comes īmān which is to accept everything that our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam brought, not to go against him ﷺ and to love him ﷺ.

There is this new kind of Muslims. If you tell them something, they say “You make a partner to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. You make shirk.” They want to deprive people from the love and intercession of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And that is the greatest of favours. Why would you be deprived of those favours? You listen to a couple of these stupid people and don't honor our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

Therefore, this month is the month of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. The more we honor him ﷺ, the more Allāh ﷻ will love us. Allāh ﷻ loves those who love our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Because Prophets are chosen people of Allāh ﷻ among people. He ﷻ sent them as an example, as people who spread His ﷻ religion. All Prophets are the ones who show us the way and take us to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

To love them, to honor them is our duty. You can either honor other people, or not. Everyone makes mistakes. But Prophets don't make mistakes. And the greatest, the highest among Prophets is our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Honoring him ﷺ cannot lead to any badness. Not honoring him ﷺ takes people's īmān away. They lose their īmān. When they lose īmān, they then lose the religion. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. This is what shayṭān wants. He wants to cause suffering to people and make them go to hell together with him.

Therefore, this month is the holy month for you to honor our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Honoring him ﷺ will bring you benefit. Make charity as much as you can, make salawāt, read Qur‘ān. They will be

accepted for the honor of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Your du‘ā’ will be accepted with the permission of Allāh ﷻ

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
