Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 03:26). ‘Wa Tuizzu Man Tashā'u Wa Tudhillu Man Tashā'u, Biyadika AlKhayru, 'Innaka Alá Kulli Shay'in Qadīr’, ‘You honor whom You will and You humiliate whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.’

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla makes honorable whomever He ﷻ wants and disgraceful whomever He ﷻ wants. Everything is in the Hand of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. May He ﷻ make us together with those whom He ﷻ made honorable insha’Allah. Everything is in His ﷻ Hand of Power. The greatest happiness is to be with Him ﷻ.

To be honorable means to have dignity, to be honorable in Akhirah, to have dignity and honor in the presence of Allah ﷻ. There is no dignity in this world. The dignity of this world is temporary. Dignity given by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is everlasting. It is eternal, Shukr to Allah ﷻ. We are saying this again. Those who are forever with Allah ﷻ win. Whatever Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says happens. Everything is in His ﷻ Hand. May we be with His ﷻ beloved servants. No need to be with servants who are not loved.

When our hearts are with good ones, we win. This is the matter of the heart. And Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla puts it in your heart. No one can interfere with whatever is put in your heart. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla puts it. He ﷻ put the love of holy ones, the beautiful beloved servants of Allah ﷻ into the hearts of some people. He ﷻ have put their love into our hearts insha’Allah. To some, He ﷻ put the love and affection of useless people in their hearts. They must be happy. They must be happy both here and hereafter. Who win are those who are with Allah ﷻ.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Have fun and get entertained in this world”. The things in this world are for Akhirah. Therefore, people who are together with the good ones, with the beloved servants of Allah ﷻ will be happy. Their hearts are in comfort. People who live for Dunya and run after Dunya have darkness, sorrow and all kinds of hardship in their hearts. Therefore, be together with the good ones. May we follow their way insha’Allah.

Today is the Mawlid of our beautiful Pir Sayyidina Shah Naqshband. May it be blessed. How lucky are we to be on his way, on the way of such beautiful people. Shukr to Allah ﷻ. We must make Shukr so that his love in our hearts grows more. May his Maqam be high. May his Himmah (support) be with us. Millions and hundred millions of people are going on his way Shukr to Allah ﷻ. They are going on the way of these beautiful people. How lucky are they! How lucky are we insha’Allah! May Allah ﷻ make it perpetual forever insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha. May his Maqam be high. Al-Fatiha.
