Be with Those Allāh ﷻ Loves

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.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. “ / ”, ‘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.” (Qur’ān 10:62). Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘aẓīm. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says the awliyā’ of Allāh ﷻ, beloved servants of Allāh ﷻ have no fear, no sadness. They are with Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Who are with Allāh ﷻ don't worry about anything.

We must know Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. How can we know Him ﷻ? After creating us and making us be from nothing, as Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla showed this beneficence to us, He ﷻ letting us know Him ﷻ and letting us be on His ﷻ way is the best thing. It is the best thing. There is nothing more precious than this. This is the most precious thing. A person on His ﷺ way, who is with Him ﷻ, who is together with His ﷻ beloved ones attains all kinds of goodness. Because thousands, millions and billions of people have come and gone. You come and will be gone too. And who must you be with? People must be with His ﷻ awliyā’, with His ﷻ beloved people. There is no sadness and fear for them, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

You come to visit Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim and go. You can make ziyārah from afar as well. When you recite for all awliyā’, Prophets and ṣaḥābah, you are together with them. It is as if you visit them in their maqāms. The maqāms of some of them are known. And there are many awliyā’u Llāh and beloved servants of Allāh whose maqāms are not known. Their himmah will be upon you.

Therefore, this is the best thing for people. Wealth and properties, houses, parks and wordly things have no benefit for people if they are useless for ākhirah. But if they are for ākhirah, all kinds of goodness will be attained. All kinds of

beautiful things will be attained. We must know their value. We must make shukr to Allāh ﷻ so that He ﷻ gives more. For knowing awliyā’, for being together with awliyā’, Allāh ﷻ respects those who respect them. Those who possess this goodness, who possess this beauty are lucky people.

Because, they have many enemies. When you go to a good servant or person, thousand shayṭāns come to you and say "What are you doing? Why are you doing it?" This is regarding Muslims. And there is no limit regarding nonMuslims. You must be protected. Don't listen to anyone. Don't let anyone take you out of the way. This way is the beautiful way. This way is the right way. As we said, there are not just thousand but a hundred thousand shayṭāns in this world. They may trip you, and even if you won't go to hell with them, you will be too far then. You will be too far from awliyā’ and beloved servants of Allāh ﷻ. Being with them is crucial. Being with them is salvation and goodness. Being with them in ākhirah is the biggest wish for mankind and believers. May Allāh ﷻ not separate us from them. May we always attain their himmah in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
