Guests in This Life

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.

We thank Allah Azza wa Jalla that He ﷻ made us with good people who love Allah ﷻ, love Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, love Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah. They are Ahlu s-Sunnah wal Jama’ah. We are happy to be together. This is an important Nasiha/advice for Talib Al Ilim/Seeker of Knowledge. Allah ﷻ makes the angels put their wings under the feet of Talib Al Ilim. All of them here are Talib Al Ilim. They are coming to learn something. Allah ﷻ rewards them.

AlhamduliLlah we are coming to this Island also. This is from Allah’s ﷻ favor. Because for everything, for the Rizq of human beings – where his Rizq is, he must go and take it, says Allah Azza wa Jalla. So we had Rizq in this Island. Alhamdulillah we took it and met with good people, clean people, good Muslim people. This is Barakah for our body and our soul.

For Rizq/provision, the Mu’min must believe that Allah ﷻ is Ar-Razzaq. Allah Azza wa Jalla gives him his provision, Rizq. While he is still in this life, He ﷻ will give him Rizq. But when it finishes, he cannot take. This is from Iman, to believe in Allah Azza wa Jalla. Everything, every food you will eat in this life, even if you are the poorest one, what Allah ﷻ wrote for you, nobody can take it. You must take it and have it.

We were with Mawlana Sheikh Nazim in Istanbul. They said that one lady is ill, and is asking for a visit because she has an illness and she cannot move. They invited Mawlana to read for her, for this lady. We went to her house with Mawlana. Her house is a very expensive house on the Bosphorus. She was the daughter of - she knows - the most richest one in Turkey. This family are also now billionaires. We saw her in a bed, but not a normal bed because she had an illness, a muscle illness. She cannot eat and she cannot drink by herself. She cannot move by herself, she cannot do anything. But by the tube, they give her water and other

things to survive. The doctors don’t have any solution. They have money. They can give millions to doctors, but the doctors don’t have a cure for this.

This is a big example for human beings how when Allah ﷻ wants something to happen, [even] with money you cannot do. Maybe you are the richest one, if Allah ﷻ is not giving, you cannot do anything. Mawlana Sheikh said that this woman can give all her fortune to be the poorest one but to have health.

So people must be thankful for Allah ﷻ, and not to be greedy [saying], “I want this. I want that.” For what you have, be thankful for Allah ﷻ and Allah ﷻ will be happy with you. When Allah ﷻ is happy with you, everything will be nice, easy, good, Barakah and all good things. You become a beloved one for Allah ﷻ, from Awliyau’Llah, WaliyuLlah.

WaliyuLlah means – Of course, we have many Awliyau’Llah in life and in the grave many also. But what we said as Awliyau’Llah, doesn’t mean who make a miracle, do this and do that; no. Whom Allah ﷻ loves means Awliyau’Llah. This is very important. Your people are humble people. Do not be cheated by the television and other things. They make people not happy with their lives and with their situation. They make people to be angry all the time. For this, we are saying this. In this life, we are guests. There’s no need to make trouble for yourself and for others.

This life is not important. Once Sayyidina Isa ‘alayhi s-salam was traveling, he met one Aabid/worshiper. He was under no roof. When sun is coming or rain is coming, it was coming on him. He asked him, “Why don’t you put a roof over you to protect you?” The Aabid said, “Why? We will not live too much. Life is not so long, so there’s no need for this. I must not make myself busy. I must continue Ibadah/worship here.” Sayyidina Isa asked him, “How many years have you been here?” He said, “I’ve been here for 300 years.” 300 years making Ibadah. And he said, “There’s no need to make a roof or anything here. I’m not here long. 300 years will come and there’s no need. After this also there’s no need.” Sayyidina Isa said, “SubhanAllah, in the end of times there will be people who will live between 60 or 70 years and they will make very big houses, palaces, castles.” Who is doing this? These people now, they are doing that. This man said, “If I have a short life like these people, I will put my head in Sajdah and not get up until my soul is taken.”

A Mu’min, Muslim must have this very important belief: How Allah ﷻ creates us, He ﷻ creates our Rizq also; what we will eat, what we will drink, how many Nafas/breaths we will take. All of this is counted, and when it finishes you will go.

May Allah ﷻ give us this strong Iman and give us from His ﷻ endless blessings and endless Barakah insha’Allah, and strong Iman. Today is the last night of the Month of Mawlid of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. May Allah ﷻ give us His ﷻ and love of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This is very important. AlhamduliLlah you are in big Barakah, and Awliyau’Llah they teach you love. May Allah ﷻ give you from this Barakah and for us.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
