The Luckiest and Unluckiest People

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu Billāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismillāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi Rasūlillāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad. Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

AlhamduliLlah, we are a little bit late but everything is by the will of Allāh ﷻ. You waited here in the dergah, mosque. May Allāh ﷻ reward you for waiting to meet and listen to nasīḥah. You are ṭālibu l-ʾilm (Seeker of Knowledge). Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, the angels put their wings under the feet of ṭālibu l-ʾilm. All of you coming for [seeking knowledge].

For this, everything for the Mu’min, for the believer, our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, is good in this life. As long as you are mu’min, believer, you are okay; don’t worry. As our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam says, ‘ ( 162 ) ’, ‘Qul ‘Inna Şalātī Wa Nusukī Wa Maĥyāya Wa Mamātī Lillāh Rabbi Al-`Ālamīna (162) Lā Sharīka Lahu wa bi-dhalika Umirt wa ana awwalu lMuslimin’, ‘Say, “Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds. (162) No partner has He. And this I have been commanded, and I am the first [among you] of the Muslims.’ (Qur’an 06:162-163). Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is teaching us, “What I do from work, from praying, from the order of Allāh ﷻ and every good thing: all of this, I am doing for the sake of Allāh ﷻ. And I am the first of Muslims,” said our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

AlhamduliLlah we are lucky with this life. Especially people of this time, they are the luckiest people and the unluckiest people in the history of human beings. Because they are chosen from Allāh ﷻ to be the nation of our Prophet ﷺ, Sayyidina Muhammad ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, the Seal of Prophets ﷺ, the beloved one, the most beloved one for Allāh ﷻ among human beings. Allāh ﷻ gave him ﷺ every good thing and accepted his ﷺ duā for his ﷺ nation. Who follows him ﷺ is the luckiest one. Because even in this time, human beings have everything: they have plenty of food, easy way to go, come, stay, do work. Everything is (more) easier

than other times. So you can enjoy your life: what Allāh ﷻ has given you from ḥalāl – marry, eat, drink, get everything. But thank Allāh ﷻ for what He ﷻ gave you and follow him ﷺ, you will be the luckiest one.

And as we said also, the unluckiest people are those who are living in this time and are not following Allāh’s ﷻ order but following shayṭān’s order. Because they also have everything which you cannot find in old times, you cannot afford; from drinking, eating, going with women, going to other: not women also, doing every bad thing, drinking, smoking, taking injections, taking tablets. They are doing every bad thing. They are the (most) unluckiest people because they are throwing themselves in fire. Because they have a big luck. They are lucky to be in the nation of Prophet ﷺ, but they refuse this. They want to be in the nation of shayṭān. And most of them are like this. So they are unlucky because they lost their chance. And this chance is only once coming for the human being. When they are closing their eyes, finish; there isn’t any more chance for them. Directly to fire.

The wife says, “Take my husband. It’s too expensive to bury him. Burn him.” When you say hell, they get angry. But by yourself, you are putting yourself in hell in this life. You can’t imagine how much they don’t have any respect, mercy or anything. When they say humanitarian, you think it’s real but in reality it is hypocrisy. And Allāh ﷻ is saying, ‘ ’, ‘Wa Laqad Karramnā Banī ‘Ādam, ‘And We have certainly honored the children of Adam.’ (Qur’ān 17:70). “We honoured human beings.” In life and after life, you cannot do anything to the human being’s body: to burn, or to cut, or to throw this body. This is respect for human beings. Because Allāh Azza wa Jalla created us and He ﷻ wants you to respect even the dead body of the non-believer. But non-believers only say that for those who are in the country: you must respect this, you must do this, you must do that. But for Ākhirah, they don’t want anything.

For this we are saying, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, Allāh ﷻ made us in this way, way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Every good thing is in this way, way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam. If humanity want to finish this crisis, this bad thing in this world, they must follow the way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam. But they have their master: shayṭān. He doesn’t allow them. It’s better to have fire, war, blood, crimes, every bad thing everywhere. He says, “I’m happy with this. So continue this. Don’t go the other way. The other way it is not so exciting.”

And they are accusing – as Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam says [about the end of times]. Good people, they accuse them: these are bad people. Bad people: these are good people. Bad thing: this is a good thing. Ugly: it is beautiful. Beautiful: ugly. They made everything upside down. If you are good, they say you are bad. If you are bad, they are praising you.

This is the only solution for humanity: to leave the way of shayṭān and follow the way of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And this cannot be, with these people. They must be [as such]. It is the will of Allāh ﷻ. Look at us for we are fed up. Pray for Allāh ﷻ: O Allāh ﷻ send us someone to save us, to save humanity. Humanity is sinking in mud, in sewage. Sinking, not thinking. Sinking. There was an Egyptian sea guard. One ship was sinking and they were calling them, “Alo, we are sinking.” “About what?” they said.

So humanity is going in the sewage. Inshā’Allāh, we need somebody to take them; a strong one. Because we are going down all together. Inshā’Allāh, may Allāh ﷻ send Sayyidinā Al-Mahdī ʿalayhi s-salam. Because we are hearing something then becoming very: to become angry, to become something else – we don’t even know what to say. What is happening is very bad. Every day coming (more) worse things.

In our knowledge, from what ūlamā and Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam say about Sayyidinā Al-Mahdī nearly everything is okay [fulfilled of the signs]. If not a hundred percent maybe ninety-nine percent has happened. But we don’t know when Allāh ﷻ will send him. Because when Sayyidinā Mūsa was with Pharaoh. Sayyidinā Mūsa was asking Allāh ﷻ, “When will You help us?” Allāh ﷻ said, ‘ ’, ‘Alaysa s-Subhu bi-qarīb’, ‘Is not the morning near?’ (Qur’ān 11:81). Meaning subuḥ is not so far. Of course, inshā’Allāh qareeb (near). We are inshā’Allāh, not far.

Because before, it was upon elderly people, now all people are under [oppression]. Not only in Europe, everywhere in the world, there is danger for the believer, for the belief of people from these shayṭānic people. I was small, forty years ago, I heard about this. Our mother Hājjah Amīnah Sulṭān was saying before Al-Mahdī, the dajjāl, antichrist will appear. And he will go through countries with his army. His army, she said, are dirty, bad people. At that time, I was thinking, “There’s nobody like these people. From where will all this [army] be?” Now there are million, billions – not billions, maybe a hundred million from these dirty people.

So now no need for – he has an army, he has everything. He controls everything in this world. And he will go through east and west calling people to believe in him. He will show one side saying, “This is Paradise, the left side. And the other side is Hell. If you believe me, you can be in Paradise.” But the reality: what he said is Paradise is Hell, and what he showed as Hell is Paradise. For this, those who believe in him will be finished. And after that, Sayyidinā Al-Mahdī ʿalayhi s-salam will come and Sayyidinā Īsa will kill him. Because before he kills him, he will melt like salt in water. And his army will be finished. And there will be no one of them left and the whole world, inshā’Allāh, will be in peace with Islām inshā’Allāh. May Allāh ﷻ make it come quickly inshā’Allāh. May Allāh ﷻ make us see these good days with Sayyidinā Al-Mahdī ʿalayhi s-salam inshā’Allāh.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
