Believe the Truth Not Nice Words

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 10:62). ‘Alā inna awliyā’a Llāhi lā khawfun a’layhim wa-lā hum yaḥzanūn’, ‘Verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve.’ Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Awliya and beloved ones of Allah ﷻ have no fear and no sorrow, says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Today, in the beginning of Ramadan, on the 3rd of Ramadan, 51 years ago according to the Gregorian calendar and 53 years ago according to the Hijri calendar, Grandshaykh AbduLlah ad-Daghestani changed worlds. He passed away to Akhirah. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim became the Shaykh in his place then. He got it from him.

Grandshaykh AbduLlah ad-Daghestani is Qutub, he is Sultan ul-Awliya. But only two people understood that. He had said, “I have two students: Mawlana Shaykh Nazim from Cyprus and Shaykh Hussein Efendi from Afrin”. May his Maqam be high. They understood his Sohbahs and words. Others didn’t understand. As a test, even though they didn’t understand, he told some things, but people ran away. It means there is wisdom in it. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim is the one who gathered people. Hundred thousands and millions of people came to this way, the way of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. The way of truth goes on. What is not true falls apart.

Therefore, we must be careful about things like this. We must not go astray by obeying our egos. Whoever speaks, no need to pay attention to him. As we said, there were two persons to pay attention to. Their ways were right. They didn’t leave the way, because Tariqah and Shari’ah are adherent. They are not separate, they are one. Don’t say, “I obey Tariqah. I don’t care about Shari’ah.” That is wrong. When I, may Allah ﷻ protect us from saying “I”. Every time we went to Grandshaykh AbduLlah ad-Daghestani, we were little, of course. We were little and studied in Madrasah. He used to always say to keep on. He’d say “Attain knowledge, study Shari’ah”. This was his advice to us.

Others say different things, they don’t understand. There is no benefit from such people. As we said, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Shaykh Hussein Efendi were the spring. And that spring is going on. That beautiful way is going on. With the permission of Allah ﷻ, what is true will go on until Qiyamah. What is not true will be cut off and gone. May Allah ﷻ increase their Maqams. May their Himmah (support) be present. This way goes on with their Himmah with the permission of Allah ﷻ. Otherwise, it cannot go on. What is right goes on.

May Allah ﷻ not separate us from the right way. May He ﷻ not let us obey our egos. May we not be cheated by nice words. We must believe in true things. Even though it is difficult, even though you don’t like it, not you but your ego doesn’t like it, don’t pay attention to that. Be on the right way. Because, may Allah ﷻ protect us, shaytan may always get inside people and mislead you from the right way with the right. He is capable of misleading people with nice words and nice things. Therefore, we must be careful so that we don’t go out of the way of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Many people went out, and those who had gone out perished. May Allah ﷻ protect us.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
