Ṭarīqah Teaches Adab

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.

Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam says,

“Allāh ﷻ gave me good behavior and He perfected it.” Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam is the best one in existence. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam, Sayyidinā Muḥammad ﷺ is an example for us. He ﷺ is saying, Allāh ﷻ taught me ﷺ good behavior, the best good behavior. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam was his ﷺ whole life respecting people, small or big or old, he ﷺ was polite with them all, giving them the best example.

Because in the time of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam, there was not much good behavior, I think. So he ﷺ made all these people to be the best people: the Saḥābah and after the ṣaḥābah also. But in this time - because there was one miracle, mu’jizah of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam to make these people to be like this: to change them from very bad and very ignorant to very good people and very beneficial for the Ummah. Their respect and good behavior, you cannot imagine it! They said, when Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam was sitting with the ṣaḥābah, they were like they had a bird on their heads; not moving, not saying anything, not any small action. They were very silent, very respectful; just looking at Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam, what he ﷺ teaches them, what he ﷺ orders them. They were like this. And they were respecting each other.

People now, Muslims forgot the most important thing: respect, adab. So ṭarīqah is teaching adab. May Allāh ﷻ make us with adab with Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam. Everybody, try to be like him ﷺ. Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, ṭarīqah people are like this. But there is a kind of people who are claiming Islām, they are teaching Islām, but they don’t have any respect or they don’t have any adab. May Allāh ﷻ

teach them adab, in shā’a Llāh. And give us adab, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ give Muslims good understanding to see what is good and what is bad, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
