Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 05:67). ‘Yā-ayyuhā r-rasūlu balligh mā unzila ilayka min rabbika’, ‘O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord.’ Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla commanded our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam to convey what He ﷻ sent to humanity, to inform them of His ﷻ message. And he ﷺ conveyed it to the people. Many were guided. People emerged from darkness and gloom into the light. The whole world was illuminated by Islām, by the light of Islām, shukr to Allāh ﷻ. The world was illuminated everywhere by the light of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, the light of Islām. The greatest light of his ﷺ is the light that comes from the light of Allāh ﷻ, that is, the light of Islām. Therefore, it is a means of guidance, it is goodness for people. If people followed this way, there would be no wars, no quarrels, no problems. But because it is dunyā, shayṭān turns people against each other and leads them astray.

What is important is to be on the right way. Others ask these questions, “How will we do so?What shall we do?" and so on. This is the way shown by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Come, follow that way. Let’s all go to Paradise. Allāh ﷻ invites us. ‘ C ’, ‘Wa-Llāhu yad‘ū ilá dāri s-salām’, ‘And Allāh invites to the Home of Peace (i.e. Paradise).’ (Qur’ān 10:25). Allāh ﷻ invites everyone. The place where we are invited is a beautiful place. There are two places. Either you will go without an invitation, may Allāh ﷻ protect us, to the bad place, to Hell. Or there is Paradise where everyone is invited. They say, “We don’t want this. We want to go where there is no invitation. It’s easier there, less hardship, we enjoy laziness. We prefer that.” They know for themselves. But it’s good to show the right way to those who desire it, because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and our Prophet ﷺ say, “If a person is guided by your means, it is better than the whole world.”

Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, our brothers are everywhere, people are coming and seeing. May it be a good invitation and a good example for them, in shā’a Llāh. They are doing

everything they can to include others in this good way. Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we are going on a journey. There’s Shāmil Efendi from South Africa, his father, and the brothers. They, shukr to Allāh ﷻ, have been the means for hundreds of thousands of people to embrace Islām. It was granted to them. They became the means of their guidance. People who go out of the way, those who have gone astray, all of them, by the will of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and by Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim’s barakah are entering Islām. Hundreds of thousands are entering the very beautiful way. Because for years they were not treated like human beings by these infidels. They were oppressed, they were subjected to various things. When they see this beautiful way, the way of Allāh ‘Azza waJalla, they are pleased, their souls are satisfied. So, they go on that way.

Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, this is a great service. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla does not look at a person’s color, language, or race; whoever enters that way attains happiness. They become a beloved servant of Allāh ﷻ, a servant as Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla desires. Therefore, race, language, and religion are not important at all. What is important is closeness to Allāh ﷻ, fear of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and walking on the way of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It is about loving our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. That is very important. On this way, they both come to Islām and learn true Islām. The Islām that comes from the way of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is pure Islām. Others do things according to their own minds. They do things that are not in the religion, in Islām and present this as Islām. Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, may Allāh ﷻ be pleased with them, because they both become Muslims and follow the true way of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, the way of Islām. Ṭarīqah is the essence of sharī’ah. Those who enter it will not go astray, with the permission of Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ be pleased with all of you, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allāhi t-Tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥa.
