Ya RijalaLlah Madad.

We are happy AlhamduliLlah. Thank you. Allah ﷻ gave us this place. Masha’Allah many people are coming from all over the world. Thank you for you and for those who have done this Khidmah (service). May Allah ﷻ bless them and bless the owner who was here making Dhikr before. AlhamduliLlah this was for people of this place. They are Mu’min, believer, Muslims and they are following Madhhab and following Tariqah also.

Because there must be two: Shari’ah and Tariqah; together. Only Shari’ah: it does not make the Iman strong. With Tariqah, Iman becomes strong. Without Tariqah, it is dry; like eating something dry. You can maybe survive, but you will be neither happy nor healthy. AlhamduliLlah the real teaching of Islam is in Tariqah. Qur’an is also showing this: you must be following Tariqah. To be more believer, to be more in Islam, you must follow Tariqah. For this, Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni rRaḥīm: ‘ ’, ‘Qālati l-

‘A’rābu 'Āmannā, Qul Lam Tu’uminū Wa Lakin Qūlū ‘Aslamnā Wa Lammā Yadkhuli l-‘Īmānu Fī Qulūbikum’, ‘The bedouins say, “We have believed.” Say, “You have not [yet] believed; but say [instead], ‘We have submitted,’ for faith has not yet entered your hearts.’ (Qur’ān 49:14). Which means, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan, O bedouin people, don’t say, “We became believers, Mu’mins”, say only, “We became Muslim”, but Iman is still not in your heart. Becoming Mu’min is not like becoming Muslim. A Mu’min’s Iman is strong. Iman didn’t come to their hearts. They only became Muslim by tongue. For Iman to come to the heart, you must be with Murshid connecting you to Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. That’s how Iman comes to your heart.

Without this, just - many people are not in Tariqah, if they stay like this it’s okay. But when they are like this, there’s now a kind of people that are making people to be enemies to Tariqah people. As if Tariqah is making people to be out of Islam and to be Mushrik. Everything you do, they say, “He is Mushrik.” But in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan, saying to Sayyidina Isa, when Bani Israil asked for this, Allah ﷻ said: ‘ ’, ‘Wa Idh Takhluqu Mina Aţ-Ţīni Kahay'ati Aţ-Ţayri bi-Idhni Fa'tanfukhu Fīha Fatakūnu Ţayrāan Bi'idhni’, ‘How you moulded a bird from clay—by My Will—and breathed into it and it became a real bird—by My Will.’ (Qur’ān 05:110). He ﷻ is saying in Qur’an, you create a bird from earth, from mud and blow on it, it becomes a real bird by My ﷻ permission. Al-Khallaq, The Creator is Allah ﷻ. When Allah ﷻ said to Sayyidina Isa, “You Create”, he is not Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, so there’s no Shirk there. And you make people get cured from illness and you make dead people to become alive, ‘ ’, ‘Wa Idh Tukhriju l-Mawta bi-Idhni’, ‘How you brought the dead to life—by My Will.’ (Qur’ān 05:110). So in what they are saying - they are against the Qur’an, against the word of Allah ﷻ, when they say Mushrik for Mu’mins who are not doing [Shirk]. Even, we are not saying, “[We are] creator, I create, I make people become alive.” So they are against the Qur’an a 100%. This can only be from who follow shaytan, following their ego. Because they are jealous. The (most) worst attribute of people is jealousy because it came from shaytan.

Unfortunately, Tariqah people are peaceful people, they are not saying anything. But others are going from place to place to take - cheat people and to make them in doubt. When there’s no Tariqah, there’s only Islam and nothing holds it. Another thing can come in Muslim’s place which is harm for Muslims. When there is no Tariqah, another gathering comes, another thing which is completely not in Islam, not at all, that assumes it is Islam. So when it is empty from Tariqah, bad things come, bad actions, bad gatherings, Jama’ah.

Insha’Allah Tariqah people must be patient and must be in the way of Allah ﷻ. With Dua and with praying, Allah ﷻ is with them. And we are not only with what we are dressed, but AlhamduliLlah Allah ﷻ is with us, Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is with us. Our support is strong. Our support is strong. Haqq will be the whole time up. Haqq, what is right, will be all the time high. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm: ‘ ’, ‘Wa Qul Jā'a Al-Ĥaqqu Wa Zahaqa Al-Bāţilu’, ‘And say, Truth has come, and falsehood has perished.’ (Qur’ān 17:81). Haqq is coming, the right thing is coming. Batil (falsehood) is demolished and thrown away.

Insha’Allah these people who are cheating people will be demolished. Because we know they are not many but with their voices, with money, with everything, they are controlling a few places. It looks like all people are following them but it is not like this. These people are not so many. They are making troubles for people. Their voices are too much and people are afraid from them. And as Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying: to be with the majority. The majority of Muslims are in the way of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Even if they are not in Tariqah, but they are in the way of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam which are Ahlu s-Sunnah wal Jama’ah. Muslim people are quite people, not aggressive. So these people thought that all people are coming to their way, but the reality is that AlhamduliLlah they are in the way of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam. Because they are following what Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, , “Al-muslimu man salima l-muslimuna min lisānihī wa yadihī”, “A Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hands the Muslims are safe.” [Hadith] The Mu’min is whom people are safe from his hand, to not make anything wrong, and from his tongue. For this, they think all Muslims are becoming like them, but no. The reality is that they are all - not all of course, but the majority of Muslims are in the way of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, Ahlu s-Sunnah wal Jama’ah, in this I’tiqad (creed), they are following Madhhab and following I’tiqad also. It is very important. From the beginning of the Far East, from Indonesia until Morocco, all of this area, the majority are Ahlu s-Sunnah wal Jama’ah AlhamduliLlah.

Of course, there are many places where they are not with that, they are making Fitnah. But this Fitnah has been since after Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam. Even in the time of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, this Fitnah began with liar prophets and is continuing until now. And AlhamduliLlah they were all finished, demolished, thrown in garbage. Thousands of Fitnahs like this happened, and they were all thrown in garbage, demolished and thrown. But AlhamduliLlah the way of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, Ahlu s-Sunnah wal Jama’ah continues.

The worst thing in this, as Sayyidina Ali Karrama Allahu Wajhahu wa Radiya ‘Anhu says, “A word of truth by which falsehood is intended.” It looks as Haqq but it is Batil. They are saying some word, it looks like right, you feel it is right but they mean Batil (falsehood) with it, lies and not the truth. This is what happened with Mua’wiyah. People made something and they wanted to make a judgement. And this one who judged was a clever one, he said something and Sayyidina Ali said ok. The others didn’t say anything. So they said Mua’wiyah is Khalifah. This is what this word means. By their voice they are saying something but it means another. What’s important is that they show you they are very Muslim and they are very sensitive for what they are doing and people are cheated by them. But in reality, they are destroying belief. This is not Wahhabi and Salafi. It is another group. They are claiming they are Ahlu s-Sunnah wal Jama’ah but in reality they are Al-Waswas AlKhannas - The Retreating Whisperers. They are putting in the heads of people something you can never imagine. You would never think about this thing they are putting in the heads of people: “Islam is like this, you must be very sensitive like this.”

Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying, “Yassirū wa-lā tu‘assirū, Bashshirū wa-lā tunaffirū”, “Make things easy and do not make them difficult; give people good tidings and do not make them run away.” Make it easy, don’t make it hard. Give good tidings, don’t make people run away. These people’s only mission is to destroy families, destroy gatherings everywhere for Muslim people. In the house, the wife is not accepting the husband; the children are not accepting the mother. They say something, “This means Kufr. You are Kafir,” the son says for the mother or father. These people are forbidden in Jordan, and in Egypt they also forbid these people. But here, I sometimes hear that they’re coming here also. They are everywhere. Shaytan gave them to make Waswas for all people in the whole world. Everywhere, you hear about them.

So be careful. Our way is the way of Allah ﷻ. Allah ﷻ is not in need of our ‘Ibadah, He ﷻ is just happy with us. Pray how you can, where you can, what you do: no problem. So don’t make it a problem. Don’t listen to these people. We are advising our people. Because these people make people very tired; washing hands, making Wudu’ (ablution) etc… They are making everything hard for the Muslim. Because when we are in some place or a Mosque here - they are already very anxious whether they are doing right or not. The Imam here makes [raises his hands starting prayer and says hesitantly] “Allahu Akbar”, “Allaahu”, “Allaahu.” The Imam in the whole world [directly raises his hands and] says, “Allahu Akbar.”

So insha’Allah be - AlhamduliLlah if you are in the way of Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, in this way, way of Ahlu s-Sunnah wal Jama’ah, no need to listen to those who are out of this way. May Allah ﷻ save us from these people. May Allah ﷻ save us from Fitnah of this Zaman, Akhir Zaman (the end of times) insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
