There is no shame in religious matters. We have to say this for people to understand: eating ḥarām is exactly like eating najāsah, excrements. Pay attention to that.
Like all the prophets, ṣaḥābah and believers; live for goodness. Goodness brings goodness and evil brings evil. Whatever you do from evil, repent and you’ll finish with it in dunyā not leaving it for ākhirah.
When you sit in a gathering of knowledge, your spirituality becomes stronger and spiritual nourishment enters your heart even if you don’t realize it. Intake and don’t reject it. What is our purpose here in dunyā?
We remind every year about the deceit of New Year’s celebrations. We are in holy days and on the other hand there is ḥarām. It is something that Allāh ﷻ dislikes. Don’t participate in what He ﷻ detests. Shayṭān makes up days cheating people and they follow like sheep.
In shā’a Llāh, everyone had attained the spiritual nourishment of last night, the Night of Raghā’ib. We must say it and it is no despair: dunyā will only improve with Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām. So make du’ā’ for his arrival soon.
Allāh ﷻ is the Most Generous. He ﷻ makes these occasions as a chance to give us more. One of which is tonight; The Night of Raghā’ib. “Ask, be persistent in asking,” Allāh ﷻ says.
People now are in complete heedlessness immersed in dunyā. We are living in the end of time. The end has approached for dunyā; and even for mankind, his death is his qiyāmah, he ﷺ says. Remember Allāh ﷻ and what’s eternal.
Allāh ﷻ wants light and every goodness for us. Mankind is between these two: in either light or darkness; no third. Shayṭān wants to take people from light to darkness. What is this light?
After Mawlānā visit to Iznik yesterday, Mawlānā reminds us of the importance of constantly making shukr to Allāh ﷻ on the most important favor, mentioning the event that happened there that shows that Allāh ﷻ guides mankind as He ﷻ wills.
Allāh ﷻ has opened the doors of goodness in these great beautiful months. They are days of gain and mercy. Take abundantly and don’t listen to the people of shayṭān. Shayṭān is stingy. Īmān is necessary in this dangerous time; strengthen it.
Allāh ﷻ created us most beautifully. Be thankful and content. Instead of striving to change your face and outer form, change your ego, make surgery for it and reform it. That’s the real benefit you’ll see.
What’s important and necessary are these three holy months, not the New Year’s. Open your eyes on which is the necessary. Beauty is in Islām; do not seek peace, beauty, or goodness elsewhere.
We are approaching the three sacred months. Ṭarīqah people know their value and benefit from them. Mawlānā tells about the worship done in these months.
A person must make jihād against his ego and oppose it in everything. One of which is against tobacco which Mawlana Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh described as coming from the excrements of shayṭān. A plant harmful from all aspects.
We are living in a strange world. People are doing anything for benefit; even slandering others. Who is the actual coward? The traitor. If you are pure, don’t be afriad, seek refuge in Allāh ﷻ. He ﷻ will protect you.
Our Prophet ﷺ says, rely on Allāh ﷻ truly and you will receive your rizq. No one relies upon Allāh ﷻ now, so they are now stuck in a vicious circle regarding rizq. The same goes for inflation. Rely upon Him ﷻ and you will see barakah.
There are those who are his ﷺ enemies: which are the disbelievers – and those who are deceived Muslim: which are those don’t have a Murshid. Without ṭarīqah, one cannot know the true worth and value of our Prophet ﷺ. Ṭarīqah people are the ones who love him ﷺ the most.
Death is what everyone will taste. Ākhirah is eternal. People now wonder what they will do in eternity whereas they are living here in the transient world thinking they will never die. People must strive for the Hereafter so they won’t be ruined forever.
Our Prophet ﷺ says, “Who repents from sin is like one who did not sin.” Allāh ﷻ created humans to make mistakes. The Door of Repentance is open so repent and ask forgiveness every day.
Ḥajj is obligatory and a pillar of Islām. Umrah is not obligatory. Allāh ﷻ has given us mind to use it. People ask “Ḥajj or Umrah?” Prepare for the obligation then go to Umrah.
Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is the greatest. He always thought of his ﷺ ummah and desired their salvation. Forgetting him ﷺ and being engrossed in dunyā is heedlessness. What is heedlessness like?
Allāh ﷻ says, whoever is grateful is grateful for [the benefit of] himself. Whoever denies His ﷻ grace will suffer for it. He ﷻ is not in need of anything. Beware about this.
If you were told news, don’t act upon it. Don’t jump into conclusions. You can’t judge based on what you hear or see. Or else you’ll regret it, says Allāh ﷻ. Investigate well.
Allāh ﷻ says those who leave His ﷻ way are like drunkards in dunyā and in ākhirah it will be more severe. The right way is in front of them but they don’t see.
Allāh ﷻ says, whoever turns away from My remembrance will have a difficult life. This time demonstrates this. Ask Allāh ﷻ, not people. And ask Him ﷻ for barakah not more money for whatever you have will go in a moment.
Our Prophet ﷺ says that all humans make mistakes and err but who are the best of them? There is no perfect human. Repent and ask forgiveness every day.
Īmān, that which people don’t believe in and consider unnecessary, its greatest proof is right within their grasp: The Soul. Not believing is only due to deficiency in their minds.
In this visit to youngsters of As’habu l-Kahf in Tarsus, Mawlānā mentions their story and how they left all the wealth and everything believing that Allāh ﷻ is Ar-Razzaq. Who gives without return? No one, only Allāh ﷻ. Rely upon Allāh ﷻ and don’t be cheated to sell your possessions.
People now say, “We are the smartest, the most intelligent.” You are intelligent but do you have inner peace and comfort? No. It can only be in one way. Just as the Creator created us, He ﷻ gave us the way to follow.
An advice that everyone, religious or non-religious, must listen to. Be content and intend everything for the sake of Allāh ﷻ. Dunyā flees from those chasing it. Opportunity comes once from Allāh ﷻ, beware not to lose it.
