Our Tariqah is Love

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.

Tariqah is for the goodness and benefit of people with the permission of Allah ﷻ. Tariqah is the way of Islam, the way of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. It is to be connected to him ﷺ, to love him ﷺ, to respect him ﷺ, to love those whom he ﷺ loves and to not love those whom he ﷺ doesn’t love.

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says it is the highest level of Iman., “Al-ḥubbu fī Llāh wa l-bughdu fī Llāh”, “Love for Allah ﷻ and hate for Allah ﷻ.” [Hadith]. How do you attain it? You must love those whom our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam loves and not love those whom he ﷺ doesn’t love. You must dislike them. When you don’t dislike them, you will love them then. Therefore, love must be for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. It must be for Allah ﷻ. You must love those whom Allah ﷻ loves and not love those whom He ﷻ doesn’t love.

What is disliked by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and our Holy Prophet ﷺ? The things disliked are bad things, useless things, harmful things, shaytan and his followers. We don’t have to love them. There is no obligation when people don’t feel it inside. No one can force them.

Therefore, our Tariqah is love. It is love of Allah Jalla Jalaluhu and our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam to all Mu’minin and Mu’minat. It is to support them and to make Dua for them insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ raise those who are on His ﷻ way. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ make the way of Haqq everlasting. We live in the time of Fitnah. May Allah ﷻ invert the Fitnah on the heads of those who make this Fitnah insha’Allah.

We are living in a very dangerous time. May Allah ﷻ protect us. As we said, this advice is from our Holy Prophet ﷺ. It is not actually difficult. It is not difficult to love goodness and not to love badness. It is in the nature of people, but shaytan and ego are changing it. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May we follow the Haqq/truth. May there be strength to our Iman insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
