Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says:

Paradise lies beneath the feet of mothers. What our Holy Prophet ﷺ advised the most to people is to take care of their mothers. A Sahabah asked him ﷺ once and our Holy Prophet ﷺ replied, “Serve your mother and take care of her”. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ always said that. A mother comes before the father. Because the mother is the person who brings up children well and serves them in every way. She is very valuable. Therefore, our Holy Prophet ﷺ advised, “Take care of your mother and take her blessing”.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave enormous mercy into the heart of a mother. They say the curse of a mother doesn’t work. Why? Because there is mercy in her heart. Even if she curses, it is just on her tongue. She will forget it afterwards. She never wants it. But the Dua of a mother for her children is accepted. Therefore, it is wrong when she curses. Instead, she should make good Dua for her children asking Allah ﷻ to bring them up as good people, asking Allah ﷻ to protect them from the evil of shaytan.

Because this time we are living in is really a tough time. Children show respect to their parents in the beginning. But later… They claim there must be education, not discipline. There must be discipline. And as there is no discipline, children nowadays grow as they are educated. There is no respect in the families. They go against the mother the most.

Therefore, what mothers should do is make Dua for Allah ﷻ to protect them, to make them good children so that they get goodness after them. May they bring up good people. As for all the good deeds of their children, rewards will go to them and to mothers and fathers.

But as we said, as fathers are not always by their side, all duty belongs to mothers. And their rewards are great. May Allah ﷻ give strength to all of them. May their good Dua be accepted insha’Allah. Otherwise, it is not accepted, as we said. And they don’t want it to be accepted when they curse anyway out of mercy. May Allah ﷻ give good health to all of them insha’Allah.

Today is the Urs of Hajjah Anne, the day she left this world. It has been nineteen years since she is gone. She is the mother of all of us, not only ours. She was the person who treated all Murids with mercy and compassion. She did a great service. And her biggest service was taking care of Mawlana Sheikh Nazim and serving him. Hajjah Anne was the means and one of the reasons for Mawlana’s reaching to such stations. Grandsheikh Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah ad-Daghestani had said that. Because of her service, Mawlana Sheikh Nazim reached high stations. She was a great Awliya herself and one with Karamat/miracles. She was one of the forty greatest Awliya. Seven of them are ladies. The rest are men. And one of those seven lady Awliya out of forty was Hajjah Anne. May Allah ﷻ increase her station.

When someone from those forty Awliya pass away, another person comes in their place, because they should be alive in this world. Another lady has come in her place. May Allah ﷻ increase her station, may Allah ﷻ make it high. May we be kept under their sight and Barakah insha’Allah. May they forgive us. We made many mistakes and fault towards them. May Allah ﷻ forgive us.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Shukr to Allah ﷻ. There are Khatms recited by our brothers. They have recited from all over the world, and our brothers here read as well. There are hundreds of Khatms, Yasin, Salawat, Tasbihat, Takbirat and Tahlilat. We gift all of them firstly to the great soul of our Holy Prophet ﷺ and to our most beloved Hajjah Anne. She used to always make Dhikr, never leaving it.

There are Tahlilat, Surahs and Yasin, Tabarakah and Salawat, Ikhlas and Fatihah. May Allah ﷻ accept all of them. For the soul of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, especially to the souls of the Mashayikh of our Tariqah, Abdul Khaliq al Ghujduwani, Sayyidina Baha’uddin Naqshbandi, Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah ad-Daghestani, Mawlana Sheikh Nazim, Hajjah Anne, Hala Sultan, Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, to the souls of all Sahabah, Awliya and Mu’mins. Also one of our Murids, Abdushakur Efendi passed away yesterday from an accident. For his soul and souls of all our late relatives.

Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatihah.
