Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

‘Āyyāmin Ma’đūdāt’, ‘[Specific] numbered days.’ (Qur’ān 02:203). Allāh Azza wa Jalla is saying about this life: it is days, counted days. This is going quickly. Al- ḥamdu liLlāh were was here with you. And these nearly 20 days passed quickly. Al- ḥamdu liLlāh we are, with the barakah of Mawlānā, in shā'a Llāh we made a good thing. Our intention, as Mawlānā Shaykh was saying, to destroy kufr, to bring īmān to our hearts. In shā'a Llāh we destroy kufr and bring īmān in shā'a Llāh to our heart. The most difficult thing is to win over your ego. In shā'a Llāh we try a little bit.

Allāh ﷻ gives - Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying, “Niyyatu l-mar’i khayrun min ʿamalih.” The intention of a person is better than his deed. Because the intention can be ‘everything’ you say, and Allāh ﷻ accepts this. But if you try you to do it, of course it is not easy. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, Allāh ﷻ is Generous, giving us from endless treasures.

We are thanking Mawlānā Shaykh also. With his barakah, he gave this place which is a very important spiritual, strong spiritual place here in the middle of Europe, giving in shā'a Llāh light, nur for people to bring them to happiness, to save them from madness, to save them from all what’s not good. This is his intention, al-ḥamdu liLlāh. For this, who come here are feeling this feeling. This strong feeling is giving power, spiritual power. Because it is their maqām and after him also the same going, not cutting. Allāh Azza wa Jalla doesn’t cut it, because the intention was good, it will be until Qiyāmah like this in shā’a Llāh.

We are asking from Allāh ﷻ next year to be better and better in shā'a Llāh. Because we don't know what will happen. But as Mawlānā Shaykh says, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam also says, everything is good for us, good for the believer. Those who believe in Allāh ﷻ, everything will be good for them. Don't think that anything happens is bad. No. Allāh ﷻ is saying, for the believer, for Mu’min, everything is good.

For this, in shā'a Llāh, maybe next year with Sayyidinā al-Mahdī in shā'a Llāh. But we don't know, Allāhu ʿĀa’lam (Allah ﷻ knows best). But in shā'a Llāh, if we have nasīb and we can come again, we will meet again in shā'a Llāh, with more barakah, more happiness in shā'a Llāh.

May Allāh ﷻ keep us in His ﷻ way with strong īmān in shā'a Llāh. May He ﷻ save us from this dunyā troubles, fitnah, every badness, especially from fitnah of shayṭān and his followers. We are in a very strong attacking from shayṭān and his followers, but our shelter is in shā'a Llāh strong. Our shelter is our belief, our īmān. Other shelter is not enough to protect you. The most strong shelter is your belief in shā'a Llāh.

May Allāh ﷻ give us more and more and keep us safe from all badness, in shā'a Llāh. In shā'a Llāh we meet again with more strong īmān in shā'a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ keep you safe and in shā’a Llāh send us Sayyidinā Al-Mahdī to be safe and for all humanity in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
