In this ṣuḥbah Mawlānā answers all inquiries about the duties of a Murīd in ṭarīqah: Khatmu l-Khwajagan and Dhikr, Daily Awrād, Dalāil Al-Khayrāt, Rabita and service. This is our way; in serving people, we serve Allāh ﷻ.
Don’t be hopeless! Even if a hundred times, ask forgiveness and Allāh ﷻ forgives. This is a grant to the nation of our Prophet ﷺ. This is the ocean of mercy of Allāh ﷻ.

There’s richness forever and richness for a short time. A message to those claiming we worship graves: we do not ask from them, we ask through them. Many crazy mindless people ask “Why me?” They are Muslim but not Mu’min.
Awliyā’u Llāh are oceans. They have knowledge but also a specialty from Allāh ﷻ: it is Madad from our Holy Prophet ﷺ. It is a specialty to open the hearts of people. Mawlānā tells a very important story of Shaykh Abdul Qādir Al-Gaylāni’s son.
You must put a limit for everything. People ask du’ā’ from us to wake up for Fajr. How will you wake up if you sleep at 3 a.m.! When you limit your ego, your body and soul will be happy.
We are Ahlu s-Sunnah, people of ṭarīqah. We imitate our mashāyikh and our mashāyikh imitate our Prophet ﷺ. Our gatherings are a garden of paradise. We gather to know what’s good and what’s bad. Thank Allāh ﷻ but don’t accept what unbelievers are doing.
Everything is for Allāh ﷻ. Everything’s the same with Allāh’s ﷻ Mulk; nothing changes. To be a victorious one, you should begin your day with one saying.
Allāh ﷻ has chosen people to be His ﷻ beloved ones. Who are they? And how can one become WaliyuLlah? It is definitely not by buying a three-month course for a thousand dollars! Ṭarīqah aims to make you a beloved one for Allāh ﷻ. Don’t worry, Islām is safe through Awliyā’ and ṭarīqah people.
Nothing with Allāh ﷻ is impossible. But people must take heed and give thanks to Allāh ﷻ. No matter the circumstances, one must never lose hope in Allāh ﷻ knowing that help from Allāh ﷻ will arrive.
When asked of an advice to hold onto, our Prophet ﷺ answered thrice “Don’t Get Angry.” Our Prophet ﷺ even gave us the way on how to achieve that. Anger harms the person himself before others.

It is Allāh’s ﷻ decree that He ﷻ gives illness to a believer: to either raise his station or cleanse his sins. Cure is also solely from Allāh ﷻ. So seek treatment with intention being from Allāh ﷻ and with Basmala.

“Al-Minnatu li-Llāh.” The prerogative of conferring favor belongs to Allāh ﷻ. It is not fitting for anyone other than Allāh ﷻ to claim that. Do not hold the good deeds you have done over people’s heads.
People nowadays regard Sunnah as unnecessary. Although neglecting it is not punished, a person definitely faces consequences! There’s no making up for Sunnah prayers so beware not to miss it.
Islām is all about order in every manner of life. Whoever follows this way wins. Our Prophet ﷺ says, the consulted one is entrusted. He mustn’t betray the trust.
The head of wisdom and the essence of everything for mankind is the fear of Allāh ﷻ. What does fearing Allāh ﷻ mean? That’s how one becomes a wali; not by a course.
Allāh ﷻ warns us, Don’t believe everyone – especially the fāsiq; unfortunately most people today are fāsiq. We have told the brothers of this before: don’t bring us such news of gossip. The best course of action is simply not to listen to the news.
Protection from Disgrace Here and Punishment Hereafter
There’s a du’ā’ of our Prophet ﷺ asking that Allāh ﷻ protects us from disgrace here and punishment hereafter. People now do the most disgraceful acts openly. Be ashamed and repent so that Allāh ﷻ conceals and forgives you.
Allāh ﷻ says, don’t be upset. The believer is superior. Dunyā is fleeting and worthless; not even as the wing of a mosquito. True worth lies in īmān. Don’t grieve! Allāh ﷻ is the provider of sustenance.
People today are always looking after their egos. The cause of the state of the world now is that people are harming one another. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says, don’t harm, nor cause harm to be inflicted upon anyone.
