The Return of the Ḥajjīs

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.

Today is a beautiful day Shukr to Allāh ﷻ. With the Barakāh and Himmāh of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim, the Hajjis came today Shukr to Allāh ﷻ. Those who go to Hajj will have Barakāh, and whoever is around them will also have from that Barakāh.

Now, of course, the old customs are gone; the good old customs. When the Hajji came from Hajj, they would make him a great welcome. They would come to visit him. They would drink from Zamzam and eat from the dates he brought. They would kiss his hand. These are beautiful customs. Those customs no longer remain. But those customs are Barakāh. Which means they will also be granted from the Barakāh that comes to him.

That’s why, Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim paid great attention to these matters. He even went to the airport to bid us farewell several times when we were going to Hajj. And when coming back, he would come to welcome us many times. So it is Barakāh for both them and those who make Hajj.

Hajj is a great virtue. It is a great favor of Allāh ﷻ to mankind. If one was destined and favored to go, it is a great grace. It is grace from Allāh ‘Azza waJalla. Every sin of the Hajji is forgiven. His Duas are also accepted. The Duas of the Hajjis are accepted until forty days after their arrival. So you must ask them for good Dua. In shā’a Llāh it will be good for him, the Hajjis and us in shā’a Llāh. May it be a conquest for Islam. May Allāh ﷻ protect us from the evil of evil people in shā’a Llāh.

This is a beautiful thing, Shukr to Allāh ﷻ. Our brother Shaykh Bahauddin Efendi had a very nice Hajj with his sons mā shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ give such good children to everyone in shā’a Llāh.

These Duas, the most important Dua, the most important Dua now for Muslims is for their children to be good. To be protected from these shaytans. Wherever we go, the shaytan is mostly attacking - he is attacking the elders but the youngsters even more. Because they didn’t.. Therefore, our Dua must always be to have good children. To be good children so that they will benefit you in both this world and the hereafter in shā’a Llāh. To not be in need of anyone. May they all live with Barakāh in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
