The Land of the Righteous

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu Billāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismillāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 16:128). ‘Inna Llāha ma‘a lladhīna it-taqaw wa lladhīna hum muḥsinūn’, ‘Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.’ Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

In this Ayah, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says that Allāh ﷻ is with us, with those who believe and fear their Lord and those who do good. AlhamduliLlah. O Allāh ﷻ make us among them. This is the way of prosperity, the way of success, the way to win paradise. Two days ago, Saif said: “This man is Masha’Allah sincere, trustworthy.” I told him, “This is a smart man.” He who is sincere and trustworthy will be a winner in this world and in the hereafter. Who is not trustworthy, traitor, cheater, liar, he is the stupidest among the stupid. He thinks he is smart, that he is “Falhawi”, as the Egyptians say. He has no mind; his mind is as small as a bird.

Because whoever wins him - he is always in fear, always in anxiety, there is no Barakah with him always. He is not satisfied, although Allāh ﷻ showed him the straight path, the path of happiness, the path of victory in this world and in the hereafter. Who has also done something wrong in this world is afraid. In the smallest matter, even when he walks in the streets, he is afraid. “If the police arrest me, or if this one whom I’ve cheated sees me then insults me or beats me.” He is always worried. Whoever does a mistake in this world, if he asks forgiveness from Allāh ﷻ, Allāh ﷻ will of course forgive him. But if he harms people or takes their rights unjustly, he must ask Allāh ﷻ for forgiveness and ask for forgiveness from those whom he have harmed. There’s no shame in that. Allāh ﷻ forgives him

insha’Allah. And for those whom he harmed or wronged, if he asks them for forgiveness they most of the time forgive him.

AlhamduliLlah I've reached this age. I’ve got hundreds of stories from this example. Whoever does something wrong, if he harmed people, he cannot have benefit in this world. The benefit is little. And these, so that Allāh ﷻ will hold them accountable in the hereafter, He ﷻ will give them in this world. He gives them so that their punishment is bigger. For most of those who cheat or think they are winning, there is never a profit. Loss, always a loss. Allāh ﷻ punishes them in this world before the hereafter. This is the system of Allāh ﷻ. The saying of Allāh ﷻ, and Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the Most Truthful among those who speak. This is depicted by Allāh ﷻ in the Qur'an and in the Hadith Qudsi, and on the tongue of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. All this is said by our Holy Prophet Muhammad ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

Who doesn’t accept this, says “Europe does this.” He says, “This is civilization, this is advancement. If you want to be at the level of our civilization you have to go down, down, below, go down.” Today we passed by a canal, smells terrible. The civilization of Europe is not to go upwards but to go down, downwards, down with rats, with mosquitoes, with microbes, with insects. “This is civilization. If you want to descend into our civilization you must be like us.” This is the civilization of shaytan and his helpers. They think they are doing good for themselves. They are harming the world and the world is being harmed by them. They know the truth but don’t like to follow it. This is from their egos. Their ego doesn’t want this. The shaytan doesn't want this. Now, even the citizens of their countries say: “What they teach us is against human values, against humanity even.” If the situation remains like this, humanity will not remain. This is over on the apparent and inside. It is over. As we say, it went down to the lowest of the low, the most despicable. It became the dirtiest thing. It is a mask. Whoever looks with the truth, even with the naked eye sees their situation. But there are many people who are cheated by them. They wish to be like them. That’s something that doesn’t benefit; it harms and doesn’t benefit.

AlhamduliLlah in this trip we were in southern Egypt. We passed through villages with no water, mountains without trees, no grass. Poor villages. Poor but rich: poor apparently, rich spiritually. They are among the accepted ones for Allāh ﷻ. In their villages, in their homes you see that there is poverty, but alhamduliLlah you see joy on their faces or in their actions that you do not find in Europe or America. Especially America, may Allāh ﷻ improve Muslims, improve people. They

think America is paradise. If a person strives as much as he does to go to America, he will enter paradise a hundred times. SubhanAllah people. May Allāh ﷻ protect us and you, and open our hearts and your hearts insha’Allah, and our eyes until we see the truths.

AlhamduliLlah in Egypt, this is also the land of scholars, the land of companions, the righteous Awliya and Aqtab in this country, a very blessed country. I think yesterday we visited about 20-30 mausoleums, all of which are Masha’Allah Ahlu l-Bayt, the grandchildren of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, Caliphs, those who were in authority, scholars, Awliya in Cairo, and also everywhere. I sometimes read the scholars and Awliya present. We read over a thousand and there are more too. Every time it is written in the newspaper, it is written every time that there was in Cairo, in Damietta, here and there. Your country was Masha’Allah a center for scholars, Awliya and Aqtab (poles). With their Barakah this country will be AlhamduliLlah on the straight path. They tried to ruin it a lot. The ancient scholars and those who came after them stood against those who wanted to change, to change Islam according to his opinion. AlhamduliLlah because they were truthful, they were protected. These cheaters have been punished by Allāh ﷻ in this world before the hereafter. Because these wanted to subvert Islam. A lot of groups are cheated by them. Many groups think they are the ones who defend Islam. The defenders of Islam are the Awliya, the righteous ones and Aqtab present in this country. Because they tried to do so, the Awliya did not accept that, they imposed upon them the oppressors who took them and saved people from them.

AlhamduliLlah nine days have passed. Insha’Allah tomorrow we will travel from here. It was a blessed trip insha’Allah. May Allāh ﷻ protect this country and its rulers insha’Allah. Insha’Allah all of them are people of piety. I heard they have counselors. They consult them in the work they do if they are correct according to the religion or against it. AlhamduliLlah that is enough. This is a blessing. The greatest blessing is that the ruler is obedient, a believer in his prayers, in his works. Allāh ﷻ blesses him and the people of the country. In a Hadith, Sayyidina Muhammad ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “Do not swear at the Sultans.” When you swear at them, and you do the opposite of their order, there is no benefit; there is harm. Make Dua in prayer, make Dua for Barakah insha’Allah.

May Allāh ﷻ bless you. May Allāh ﷻ protect this country and give Rizq to the poor and for the children to be righteous children. AlhamduliLlah we saw Masha’Allah goodness in many, in the south and in the north, but in the south

more. There are righteous people, children who are learning religion, they are teaching them religion. This made us happy. Our heart is very happy with these scenes. May Allāh ﷻ grant this to our country. Our country is done. Our country, what can we say? May Allāh ﷻ improve them. Mawlana Sheikh Nazim, our father says: “I brought to Islam thousands of Europeans, atheists, infidels, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, but in Cyprus not one. May Allāh ﷻ improve them.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
