Favors Increase with Shukr

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 Allah ﷻ, our way is the right way. Allah ﷻ has granted it to us. We have to make Shukr for this, because everything is by the will of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. If He ﷻ put you on this way, you must make Shukr, for He ﷻ has given you a great favor. Favors last with Shukr. We must always make Shukr so that Allah ﷻ increases His ﷻ favors and increases the favor of Iman.

Every good thing is a favor. Who makes Shukr for the favors will be in profit. Who doesn’t make Shukr will be at loss, may Allah ﷻ protect us. A person who doesn’t appreciate something by saying, “What is that?” doesn’t make Shukr to Allah ﷻ. Making Shukr is also a necessary favor itself for increasing the favors.

People are not grateful for anything in the time we are living in. They don’t make Shukr and don’t appreciate anything. All they say is, “Is there more? This is not enough. This is not good. This is not nice. It is useless”. And while others try to give them something better, just like shaytan cheats people, human shaytans cheat them too. They take what they have. And then they won’t be able to retrieve it. May Allah ﷻ protect us.

We must show respect to our ancestors. Because of the badness done to them, people had suffered for years. Yet, people have not come to their senses. They see the good as bad and the bad as good. May Allah ﷻ protect us.

May Allah ﷻ not separate us from the right way. How do we stay on the way? With Shukr. Because all good things increase with Shukr. If you don’t make Shukr, you will have nothing. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May He ﷻ make our Shukr everlasting insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
