The Condition of True Īmān
Our Prophet ﷺ tells us the condition of true īmān. There are Muslims but believers are few. Who are those showing the right way?
Eating Ḥarām Is Like Eating Najāsah
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.
Live for Goodness
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.
Take Spiritual Nourishment
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?
New Year’s Is Shayṭān’s Deceit
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.
Dunyā Will Not Improve Without Mahdī
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.
Ask in The Night of Raghā’ib
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.
Remember: Dunyā Is Temporary!
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.
Mankind Is in Either Light or Darkness
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?
Make Shukr for the Most Important Favor
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.
Take Abundantly in These Months
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.
Change Your Ego Not Your Face
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.
Goodness Is in Islām Not the New Year’s
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.
Ṭarīqah People Benefit from These Months
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.
Fight Your Ego Against Smoking
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.
Fearful Is the Traitor Not the Betrayed
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.
Stuck in a Vicious Circle Regarding Rizq
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.
Ṭarīqah People Love Him ﷺ the Most
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.
Reality of Death and Eternity
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.
Repentance Erases Sins
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 or Umrah?
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.
Forgetting Him ﷺ Is Heedlessness
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?
Whoever Is Grateful, Is Grateful for Himself
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.
Investigate Before You Act
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.
Drunkards Are Who Leave His ﷻ Way
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.
Ask for Barakah, Not More Money
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.
The Best of Those Who Err
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.
The Greatest Proof of Faith
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.
Raise Your Children Well from the Beginning
We are living in the end of times. Rain falls down as severe, and what’s even worse than that is children become immoral. They torment their parents. The biggest disease in people today is to educate their children. Raise your children right from the beginning not to come complaining later.
The Purpose of Pope’s Visit and the Truth
In this wisdom-full Sohbah, Mawlānā tells about the purpose of the pope’s visit and the story of what happened at the council of Nicaea. The truth is apparent and falsehood will perish; no need to be afraid.
Shayṭān Is Your Enemy
Allāh ﷻ says, shayṭān is your enemy. He will never be your friend. His plots are weak. Repent and ask forgiveness everyday so that his works will be in vain.
The Secret of Soul and Destiny
These two matters are secrets in the knowledge of Allāh ﷻ only: soul and destiny. No one knows them but Allāh ﷻ. You must submit and be content knowing it’s from Allāh ﷻ, and not blame others.
Our Rizq Is Guaranteed
Allāh ﷻ is ar-Razzāq. People wonder how will mankind survive in the coming years with AI taking over. Ṭarīqah people don’t think of that. Our rizq is guaranteed by Allāh ﷻ. Even if there isn’t even a drop of water, your rizq will still come.
Nothing Replaces the Fard
Don’t think that anything you do can replace the Fard that Allāh ﷻ has commanded especially prayer. After performing the Fard, you can do whatever you’d like. Performing Riyādah without a Murshid’s guidance is dangerous.
Flee from the Mirage of Dunyā
Dying from the real mirage in the desert is nothing. But running to the mirage of dunyā that ruins your ākhirah is very bad. One won’t be able to save himself. Run to Allāh ﷻ; the door of mercy and forgiveness is open for all.
Do Good Sincerely for Allāh ﷻ
When one does anything purely for the sake of Allāh ﷻ, he doesn’t care about anything else and doesn’t get sad worrying about the return. Sadness means it’s not sincerely done. Do good and throw it into the sea, Allāh ﷻ knows it.
Settle Disputes Among You
Allāh ﷻ says, shayṭān wants to cause enmity, evil, and hatred among people. This is shayṭān’s duty. Allāh ﷻ dislikes enmity, so leave no disputes among you and excuse them.
Never Wish for Death
Know the value of this life and never wish for death. As Mawlānā says, saying La ilaha illa Allāh is better than lying under earth for a thousand years. Nothing for the believers goes in vain. Hardship for him is a test and reward.
You’re Not Lower than Unbelievers
Allāh ﷻ created us all the same. You are not higher than some nor lower than others. Seeing yourself lower than unbelievers is rebellion against Allāh ﷻ. Stop striving to be like Europe. What matters is what you are in the sight of Allāh ﷻ.
Mind Your Own State First
Our Prophet ﷺ says, don’t interfere in what doesn’t concern you. People are now the opposite. They meddle in everything and everyone. Mind your own state and improve yourself first. Only help when they ask for your opinion.
The Barakah of Visiting the Graves of the Holy Ones
Visiting the graves of firstly the light of our eyes our Holy Prophet ﷺ, the Prophets, Ṣaḥābah, Ahlu l-Bayt, and the righteous makes the believer attain from their barakah and mercy that descends continuously upon them until qiyāmah. Some people claim Muslims worship graves, but worship is only for Allāh ﷻ.
The Trust the Mountains Would Not Carry
Allāh ﷻ says in the Holy Qur’ān that the heavens, the earth, and the mountains did not carry the heavy Trust, but the human being accepted it. Most people follow their comfort and make excuses instead of keeping this promise to Allāh ﷻ. The biggest favour from Allāh ﷻ is to stay on His ﷻ way, and the greatest miracle is to continue without looking for any higher place or fame. To continue on this way until the last breath is the greatest reward. May Allāh ﷻ keep us steadfast and protect us from the ego.
If They Are Straight, Allāh ﷻ Gives Plenty
Allāh ﷻ says that if people are on istiqāmah, there is enough for all, even more than enough. Istiqāmah is truthfulness, without deceiving or harming anyone, but people follow the ego,desire, shayṭān, and dunyā and cannot remain on it. When they leave this way,life becomes without barakah. Allāhﷻ created human beings to be straight,merciful, and helpful, yet many are outside the way. May Allāh ﷻ protect us from the evil of our ego and shayṭān.
Keep Your Heart Void of Deceit
The Prophet ﷺ told Sayyidunā Anas not to cheat anyone, even in the heart, and said this is his ﷺ sunnah. Whoever follows his ﷺ sunnah loves him ﷺ, and whoever loves him ﷺ will be with him ﷺ in Paradise. A believer must not harm or deceive anyone, near or far, but think good for all people. The way of ṭarīqah is good character, following the path of the Prophet ﷺ with respect and love. Those who leave his ﷺ way lose benefit in this world and the next. May Allāh ﷻ keep us safe on his ﷺ way.
When Allāh ﷻ Sends His ﷻ Mercy, No One Can Stop It
Allāh ﷻ says in the Holy Qur’ān that when He ﷻ sends His ﷻ mercy, no one can stop it, and when He ﷻ withholds it, no one can send it. Rain is mercy from Allāh ﷻ, yet people forget that it comes only by His ﷻ command. No technology or knowledge can bring it without His ﷻ will. Be thankful for His ﷻ blessings, make du‘ā’ with ṣalawāt upon the Prophet ﷺ, and repent so that His ﷻ mercy may continue to reach us.
We Created You a Man or Woman
Allāh ﷻ created you of two types: man or woman. People today don’t accept that. It is one of the fitnahs of the end of times. Allāh ﷻ didn’t create you to become a man or woman but to worship Him ﷻ.
Disagreement Mustn’t Be Among Believers
Everything material is temporary; spirituality is what’s eternal. It is not permissible for believers to be in dispute for more than three days, he ﷺ says. Conflict occurs but reconcile them.
Don’t Listen to the Barking of the Ignorant
This is the time our Prophet ﷺ told about: the ignorant will talk instead of the scholars. Īmān is a precious jewel. Beware of those ignorant ones who weaken your īmān; this is the greatest danger. They insult those on the right way. Don’t listen to their barking or else you’ll start barking too.
Reconcile Is Better
Allāh ﷻ knows what’s good for us best. He ﷻ says, making peace is better. Otherwise, fighting and being stubborn is tiring spiritually, psychologically, and physically. No one wins in courts except the lawyers.
No Foreignness in Our Dergahs
Upon returning from the other end of the world, a brother asked us, “How do you manage on these journeys?” Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, wherever we go, our dergahs have no feeling of foreignness. They are all the same whether far, near, rich or poor. Everyone is a traveler; be with Allāh ﷻ, our journey will be easy.
Those Striving to Be a Means for Guidance
After a long journey to South America, alhamduliLlah we’ve returned safely. These people strived to bring their relatives and friends to ṭarīqah, to Islām. They strived with all their capacity to be means for guidance. When a believer experiences goodness, he wants the same to others.
Our Traveling Is Only for Allāh’s ﷻ Sake
Allāh ﷻ says travel to look at His ﷻ creation, take lesson. Dunyā is the same everywhere. We are going on a far journey not for touring but only for the sake of Allāh ﷻ. Our murids rejoice and by that we rejoice.
The Greatest Jihād Until the Last Breath
Our Prophet ﷺ called the fight against the ego and shayṭān the greatest jihād because it is until the last breath. But who is with Allāh ﷻ, Allāh ﷻ helps him and makes him victorious. This is His ﷻ promise.
Oppressors Suffer Here and Hereafter
The Muslim is merciful but the disbeliever is the opposite. Those who are oppressive and not merciful will surely suffer their punishment. The oppressor suffers here and hereafter.
Don’t Kill Your Conscience
Allāh ﷻ created mankind and put inside them the ego and conscience. Conscience is what makes us human. But one must overcome his ego first. Don’t kill your conscience.
The First Lesson in Ṭarīqah
Mawlānā Sheikh ‘Abdu Llāh used to tell Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim to write down his Sohbahs. What was the first lesson? They ask, What is ṭarīqah like? Ṭarīqah disciplines. Ṭarīqah is to have adab. Otherwise, you are like an ordinary person from the street.
Allāh ﷻ Raises the Humble
Our Prophet ﷺ says, Allāh ﷻ raises the humble and degrades the arrogant. There’s no need for the arrogant to enter ṭarīqah. Humility is very important for ṭarīqah people.
Never Respond to the Ignorant
Never forget this: if you respond to the ignorant, shayṭāns will multiply there. This is not the way or principle of our Prophet ﷺ. This is what he ﷺ showed us in the famous incident with Sayyidina Abu Bakr.
Beware of Going to Extremes
Allāh ﷻ says be a nation in a middle state. Beware of going to extremes; those in the middle way are saved. Who are those in the middle way? Who has no murshid, his murshid is shayṭān.
People Are Deceived by Youth and Health
Our Prophet ﷺ says, people are deceived by two: youth and health. Beware of spending them in vain. Follow what Allāh ﷻ and our Prophet ﷺ said to not fall into regret.
Allāh ﷻ Is with Who Fear Him ﷻ
If you want Allāh ﷻ to be with you, be on His ﷻ way and fear Him ﷻ. Be careful not to be cheated with those who deviate you from the way.
Keep Prayer Brief in Congregation
Our Prophet ﷺ says, when praying in congregation or delivering Khutbah, keep it brief and don’t prolong it. Our Prophet ﷺ knows our states best. It is better in order not to distress the congregation.
Not Once Do Concede to Your Ego
The commands Allāh ﷻ has given us are easy to do. He ﷻ doesn’t burden us with what we can’t do. Don’t make any concessions to your ego; not even the slightest one.
All About Dreams
In this Sohbah, Mawlānā explains thoroughly everything concerning dreams. What are dreams, their kinds and what to do regarding them.
Modesty Is the Honor of Mankind
Modesty is the honor of mankind. It is what makes a person human. Our Prophet ﷺ says if you’re not shy, then do whatever you want. Unlike Allāh’s ﷻ laws, mankind’s laws are made to suit their ego and shayṭān.
Don’t Deny the Sin but Repent
Religion is advice. People must be careful about this matter. A sin is a sin. If you commit a sin you mustn’t deny it being a sin but you must repent and ask forgiveness.
The Meaning of Asking Madad
Mankind are helpless. They must ask for Madad from Allāh ﷻ and mashāyikh. A group claiming to be Ahlu s-Sunnah claim this to be shirk. Neither mind nor logic can comprehend this.
Never Believe a Fāsiq’s Words
Allāh ﷻ warns us of believing a fāsiq. Who is the fāsiq? With this machine in their hands this matter has become much worse. Beware, don’t believe and don’t harm.
How to Stay Steadfast on the Right Way
The most important attribute of our Prophet ﷺ was his ﷺ mercy. Now people are not only not merciful but also oppressive. One must follow a murshid to stay steadfast on the right way in the time of fitnah.
Thank Our Ottoman Ancestors
Who doesn’t thank people doesn’t thank Allāh ﷻ. In our four-day trip to the Balkans, we saw what our Ottoman ancestors have done of goodness for Islām. We must thank them for with their barakah Islām stood firm and is still standing.
Few Are Who Ask Forgiveness
The ego commands evil. It’s normal for mankind to sin but they must ask forgiveness. Allāh ﷻ created us as such and has shown us the way. But people follow their egos; few are who ask forgiveness.
Who Laughs Last Wins
In every time, those astray laugh at the righteous ones. They try their best to lead you astray. Be careful. Allāh ﷻ says, in the hereafter they will laugh at them. Who laughs last wins.
Marriage Is by Allāh’s ﷻ Wisdom
It is by Allāh’s ﷻ wisdom that people get married. When Allāh ﷻ decrees it, He ﷻ brings them together in unexpected places. What matters is that they are on His ﷻ way. Marriage becomes beautiful only if it pleases Allāh ﷻ.
Discipline Your Children’s Egos Early
Allāh ﷻ has shown us everything clearly but people are not following. Ego orders evil. We must control it especially with our children starting from a young age. If you don’t control their egos, affliction will befall you.
Know When to Speak and When to Remain Silent
For every sitting a speech. People today think not speaking is rude whereas speaking in some places shows their ignorance. Know when to speak and when to remain silent for this is from adab.
Accept the Truth from Whoever
Allāh ﷻ says, those who hear a word and follow its best have won. First comes the Qur’an and Ḥadīth then advices from others. If it’s the truth, you must accept it even if it doesn’t suit your ego.
Don’t Trust Your Ego
Allāh ﷻ is making us say in this ayah, “We do not trust our egos.” You can defeat your ego but don’t trust it. After defeating it, don’t rejoice in your victory; you must continue fighting it.
Virtue Is Only for Who Love Him ﷺ
Allāh ﷻ has granted virtue only for those who love him. The others are cheated by shayṭān and have fell into his trap. Only who accept his ﷺ intercession will attain it.
Speak the Truth Without Fear
Allāh ﷻ commands in the Holy Qur’ān to speak the truth that comes from Him ﷻ. Do not fear anyone. Whoever wishes may believe, and whoever does not may disbelieve. The greatest oppression is disbelief in Allāh ﷻ, and its punishment is the fire and boiling water of Hell. Whoever accepts the truth and comes back to the right way will have their sins transformed into rewards. May Allāh ﷻ grant people understanding so that they accept the truth.
Stay Away from the Bad Friend
Our Prophet ﷺ said that good friends are like a perfume shop. You enjoy the beautiful scents and leave refreshed. A good friend doesn’t hurt or harm you, but orders towards goodness and shows the way of Allāh ﷻ. Bad friends are like a blacksmith’s shop, where smoke and sparks cause harm. A bad friend is worse than shayṭān. May Allāh ﷻ save us from their evil.
Not Each with Turban Is Awliyā’
The Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever cheats us is not from us.” Losing possessions in this world is not important. The worst danger is cheating in religion and ṭarīqah. Some people appear outwardly holy with turban, jubbah, and long beard, but they do not follow the Shaykh and deceive people. This is the worst cheating, as it destroys īmān like cancer.
Your Mind Must Be Under His ﷻ Command
Allāh ﷻ created mankind into different nations, tribes, colours, and languages. None of that is something to take pride in, as all return to the same earth. The most honoured are those with taqwá, who fear Allāh ﷻ and obey His ﷻ commands. Intellect was given as a blessing so people may know their Creator ﷻ and follow His ﷻ orders. If used for worldly matters and the ego, it brings no benefit. Intellect is an adornment that must be used rightly. May Allāh ﷻ not deprive any of us of intellect.
Ummatī, Ummatī
Reviving the Prophet’s ﷺ Sunnah in times of corruption brings the reward of one hundred martyrs. Sunnah strengthens īmān, and without it faith remains only on the tongue. Even the smallest sunnah, from wearing a ring to using a miswāk, is very precious, bringing the Prophet’s ﷺ happiness and Allāh’s ﷻ reward. Allāh’s ﷻ treasures never end, and He ﷻ gives without fear. May we attain the shafā‘ah of our Prophet ﷺ in these blessed days.
He ﷺ Is Always with Us
Allāh ﷻ says in the Holy Qur’ān, “The Prophet ﷺ is among you.” Our Prophet ﷺ is always with his ﷺ ummah, with the believers, with the ones who love him ﷺ. He ﷺ said, “A person is with whom he loves.” When we remember him ﷺ, he ﷺ is present. Making rābiṭah is to connect your heart to your Shaykh, and through him to the Prophet ﷺ. It is easy. Just think of your Shaykh and ask for support. Through this, your belief and spirituality will increase, in shā’a Llāh.
Make Du’ā’ for His ﷺ Sake
Through the honour of our Prophet ﷺ, rain, healing, barakah, and every goodness comes. Even as a child, through his ﷺ blessed presence Allāh ﷻ sent rain in times of drought. Ask Allāh ﷻ for health, wealth, strong īmān, and good children for the honour of the blessed face of our Prophet ﷺ. Those who forbid Mawlid and remembrance deprive Muslims of reward, virtues, and intercession. The night of the Prophet’s ﷺ birth was blessed with great miracles and was a sign for people.
Nothing Outside His ﷻ Will
This time is the time of fitnah. Because Allāh ﷻ willed it so, we cannot interfere in His ﷻ work or question His ﷻ wisdom. Everything happens by His ﷻ will, and nothing happens outside it. Believers must give shukr and not object. The final outcome is for the believers who are patient, and they will receive the highest gift from Allāh ﷻ.
Love for the Prophet ﷺ Is the Greatest Gain
Love for the Prophet ﷺ is the greatest gain and the most precious thing for Muslims. His ﷺ love is farḍ and brings the pleasure of Allāh ﷻ. Mawlid is a beautiful occasion that brings light to humanity. Shayṭān and his followers try in every way to deprive Muslims of the Prophet’s ﷺ shafā‘ah, of his ﷺ returning salām to their ṣalāt wa-salām, and of the tenfold reward from Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ keep us in his ﷺ unlimited love.
Loving Him ﷺ Is Farḍ
Today, we are going to Cyprus to celebrate the Mawlid. It will bring great benefits, in shā’a Llāh. Loving our Prophet ﷺ is farḍ. His ﷺ love is what saves us from hell.
Woe to Who Deal in Fraud
There are those who cheat others in business and scales, and there are those cheated because of not writing down. People must be careful. Write it down! It is Allāh’s ﷻ order not my saying.
Good Tidings for His 1500th ﷺ Mawlid
Shukr to Allāh ﷻ for granting us these barakahs of the blessed Rabih Al-Awwal. The 1500th Mawlid of our Holy Prophet ﷺ is a beautiful sign and good tidings for the coming of Sayyidina Mahdi (as), in shā’a Llāh.
Allāh ﷻ and our Prophet ﷺ See All Your Deeds
All our deeds are presented upon Allāh ﷻ and our Prophet ﷺ so do good. What’s necessary is their pleasure and love. It is inestimable according to the worldly values.
Those Astray Can’t Harm You
If you’re guided, those astray cannot harm you; even if the whole world is against you. Be on the right way and don’t care. Stubbornness is the biggest attribute of kufr.
Two Types of Running After Dunyā
This dunyā, the universe were created for the honor of our Prophet ﷺ. Dunyā is both a sacred place and a place of test. There are two types of running after dunyā and Allāh ﷻ has made both ways easy.
Make Shukr that You Love Him ﷺ
Make shukr to Allāh ﷻ that you were destined to love him ﷺ. People must know that this is a grace and kindness of Allāh ﷻ. It is not destined for everyone. Benefit is in loving him ﷺ and not in memorizing the Qur’ān without loving him ﷺ.
Mercy to the Worlds
The blessed month of Rabih Al-Awwal has started. It is a month of relief and happiness after the heaviness of Safar. Allāh ﷻ sent our Prophet ﷺ as a Mercy to the worlds. Following him ﷺ is obligatory for us; it brings us happiness here and hereafter.
Each Bears His Own Sins
Not one person bears the sin of another. Only if a person forces or teaches others to commit a sin, he will bear the sin of each one who does it. Don’t question Allāh ﷻ! Repent and ask forgiveness.
As Precious as Laylatu l-Qadr
This year’s Safar ul-Khayr was a bit heavier. Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, it ended safely and we are entering the blessed Rabih Al-Awwal. The blessed day of his ﷺ birth is as precious as Laylatu l-Qadr. Salvation is only with Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām, not through any worldly system.
Show Ease Not Difficulty to Others
Our Prophet ﷺ says, make it easy, don’t make it difficult. Give good tidings. People have waswasa about their worships, ablution, rābita and so – as long as it’s for Allāh ﷻ, He ﷻ accepts it. Mashāyikh show ease.
The Great Virtue of Night Prayers
Allāh ﷻ commanded the night Qiyām upon our Prophet ﷺ even before descending the Qur’ān. The night prayers have great rewards and virtues. It is one to a thousand.
