Praise Belongs to Allāh ﷻ

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.

All praise and gratitude belong to Allāh ﷻ. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the only one to whom all praise is due. That’s why, at the beginning of the Qur’ān, it says, “AlhamduliLlah Rabbil ‘Ālamīn” (Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds). All praise is due to Allāh ﷻ. Praise is due to Allāh ﷻ, but thanks can be to everyone. You can thank everyone. But praise is only due to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It says, “AlhamduliLlah Rabbil ‘Ālamīn.” Therefore, praise is due to Allāh ﷻ, to Allāh ﷻ the Creator. Praise is due to Allāh ﷻ, the Lord of everything. We must give thanks. We must thank everyone. But there are some things that are exclusively due to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla: praise is due to Him ﷻ.

Therefore, among the names of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, are names like Muhammad, Ahmad, Hāmid, and Mahmūd which are used to praise him ﷺ as his rank is high. The name of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is also put alongside His ﷻ, praising him ﷺ and glorifying him ﷺ: La ilāha illa Allah Muhammadun RasuluLlah.

Therefore, thanks be to Allāh ﷻ for bestowing these blessings upon us. And you should praise Him ﷻ in everything; for goodness and badness. When one gives thanks, one shows gratitude to Allāh ﷻ. One shows obedience to Allāh ﷻ. Through this, blessings multiply, and one is rewarded even more abundantly. That is why one must praise Him ﷻ for everything. “ * ”, “Praise be to God, who is the only One praised (even) in adversity.” It is said: You should praise Allāh ﷻ for whatever He ﷻ has given you, for goodness and even for what you perceive as bad. Whatever befalls you, whether good, or bad according to your perception, to praise Allāh ﷻ will benefit you. If it is good, it is good. If you endure even what you perceive as bad and praise Allāh ﷻ, Allāh ﷻ will raise your rank and give you your reward. That hardship will disappear, in shā’a Llāh.

May Allāh ﷻ make us among those who praise and give thanks. May He ﷻ not make us among those who complain and do not accept Him ﷻ. This must absolutely be considered. It must come to mankind’s mind. People should praise Allāh ﷻ whatever happens. May Allāh ﷻ make us among those who praise Him ﷻ, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allāhi t-Tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥa.

There are complete recitations of the Qur’ān, tasbihs, tahlilāt, salawāt, and all kinds of good deeds, our brothers have sent them from all over the world. Firstly, for the sake of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, for the souls of his Ahlu l-Bayt and ṣaḥābah. For the souls of all prophets, Awliyā’, asfiya, mashāyikh. For the souls of our ancestors. For the souls of believing men and women, Muslim men and women. For goodness to come and evil to be gone. For the strength of our īmān. For happiness here and hereafter.
