Importance of Connecting to Awliyā’

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.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm, “8 ”, “Allahumma kun ma’ana wala takun ‘alayna, Ya Allāh ﷻ”, “O My God, be with us and not against us, O Allāh ﷻ.” AlhamduliLlah. Today is our last day here. In shā’a Llāh, we travel for the sake of Allāh ﷻ, for the love of our Prophet ﷺ, love of Awliyā’u Llāh. AlhamduliLlah we met many people, many Murīds. In shā’a Llāh, we made this connection which is a strong connection with Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, with Awliyā’u Llāh, from them to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. There must be a connection. Without a connection, it’s not easy to reach and to stay in īmān, in Islām. There must be a connection. For this, ṭarīqah connects people to Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, and from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

Those who don’t have good thinking say, “This is not good. This is shirk. There’s no need for that. Don’t put anybody between you and Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.” If it’s like this, why did Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla send Prophets, 124,000 Prophet? Why did he send them? If it is as they say, then there’s no need for that, no need for all of them. Everybody can do what he likes, and ask from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. No, without them, you cannot do anything.

This is an important point for Muslims. Muslim people who are nowadays fighting each other, not fighting bad things. We are fighting bad thoughts, not fighting people. This is the religion and belief of Muslims since Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This is what we must continue. We must hold onto this strongly. Without this, they can play with us. They make theaters, they make movies, and you think it is real; then, you run away from what’s right towards lies and unacceptable things.

You must be, in shā’a Llāh, in this way teaching people, children, everyone to respect Prophets, especially Sayyidina Muhammad ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. All prophets are the same; there’s no difference between any Prophet in what they are teaching and from where. They are all one. You cannot say otherwise. Some people say, “This one is good, this one is bad. This one made a fault, and we are suffering from his

fault.” No, this is a ridiculous thing. Those who object against Prophets or Awliyā’u Llāh or ṣaḥābah, all their thoughts are ridiculous, not important and do not have any value; they only have harm and badness.

So the most important thing in ṭarīqah is to respect, respect everybody, especially Prophets, ṣaḥābah, Ahlu l-Bayt, Awliyā’u Llāh, ‘Ulama; all of them. We must respect those who are in the way of Allāh ﷻ. Who is saying something against this, there’s no respect for him. Allāh ﷻ doesn’t respect him, and we also do not respect these people. May Allāh ﷻ keep us with good people and save us from bad people and bad intentions. May Allāh ﷻ make us meet again and again, in shā’a Llāh. We hope - every time we say this: we hope to be with Sayyidina Al-Mahdi soon, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allāhi t-Tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥa.
