Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 29:57). ‘Kullu Nafsin Dhā'iqatu Al-Mawti Thumma 'Ilaynā Turja`ūn’, ‘Every soul will taste death. Then to Us will you be returned.’ Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says death will certainly come to everyone. There is not a person who will not die. However, it should be a good death so that people have good ending. This is what is important.

Also, our way, our Tariqah has reached till now since our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Insha’Allah we will also reach Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam. Every way goes on. But as we said, there is death for everyone. When someone is gone, another person comes in his place. And the way goes on Shukr to Allah ﷻ. This is what’s important. It is important that our way goes on. Why are we saying this? May Allah ﷻ have mercy upon him, our Wakeel (representative) in Singapore passed away. He was a very good man. He was sick when we were there. But it is the will of Allah ﷻ. We had told him to look after himself and to go to a doctor. But his death was coming, and he lingered for a while. He was in hospital for 15-20 days and passed away last night. He did good service. As he was on the way of truth, people were attacking him. But he defended us and kept on his way, Shukr to Allah ﷻ. While others said “No, it is you, it is me”, he kept on his way. Shukr to Allah ﷻ, his way continues.

Last year after we went there, the Dergah was rented and the landlord wanted it back. But Shukr to Allah ﷻ, another place was found in the same place and the same size. He put it in order. The brothers were helping him. He left a beautiful place and it will go on in the same way insha’Allah. What’s important is that people do something good and their service goes on. It is the success and grace from Allah ﷻ, and it is good that it goes on for people.

He did such a thing that he used to pay for it himself, but since last year the brothers have collected it. They made a Dergah for themselves and used it in charity as well. There are good people there. They are going on with the same arrangement. The rewards of his good deeds will be written down in his book. May Allah ﷻ increase such people. May his Maqam be high. So this much was his lifetime. He was surely loved by Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. They must have reunited. He welcomed him. The Mashayikh greet them when someone comes. People of Akhirah look and say, “Who has come today?” They say welcome and take them in. Their love goes on there insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ grant mercy to all of us.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
