Shaykh Mehmet Adil Al-Haqqani, Sohbet of the 10th of June, 2016. <\/strong><\/p>\n

As-sal\u0101mu alaykum wa ra\u1e25matu Ll\u0101hi wa barak\u0101tuh.<\/p>\n

A\u2018\u016bdhu biLl\u0101hi mina sh-shay\u1e6d\u0101ni rraj\u012bm. Bismi Ll\u0101hi r-Ra\u1e25m\u0101ni r-Ra\u1e25\u012bm. A\u1e63-\u1e63al\u0101tu wa s-sal\u0101mu \u2018al\u00e1 Ras\u016blina Mu\u1e25ammadin Sayyidi l-awwalina wa l-\u0101khir\u012bn. Madad y\u0101 Ras\u016bl All\u0101h, madad y\u0101 S\u0101d\u0101ti A\u1e63\u1e25\u0101bi Ras\u016bli Ll\u0101h, dast\u016br y\u0101 Mash\u0101yikhin\u0101 fi \u1e6d-\u1e6dar\u012bqati n-Naqshbandiyyi madad Shaykh \u2018Abdu Ll\u0101h adD\u0101ghist\u0101ni, Shaykh Mu\u1e25ammad N\u0101\u1e93im al-Haqq\u0101ni. \u1e6car\u012bqatun\u0101 \u1e63-\u1e63u\u1e25bah wa l-khayru fi ljam\u2018iyyah. Rama\u1e0d\u0101n mub\u0101rak, in sh\u0101\u2019 All\u0101h. <\/p>\n

Our Prophet (sas) says in holy hadith and in khu\u1e6dbah (Friday sermon) “When the month of Rama\u1e0d\u0101n comes, All\u0101h \u2018Azza wa Jalla looks at your good deeds. He (jj) shows them to the angels and gets proud. “Look how My servants are happy because Rama\u1e0d\u0101n came. How they are doing good deeds. They dedicate themselves to worshipping”. That’s why our Prophet (sas) says; “Do good in Rama\u1e0d\u0101n. Let there be goodness, good things.” <\/p>\n

Shukur to All\u0101h, Rama\u1e0d\u0101n has a manifestation. All\u0101h gave it a special manifestation from Himself (JJ). It is different, you can’t find it in other months. After Rama\u1e0d\u0101n ends, suddenly it feels as if it is closed. When holy 3 months are coming, it comes slowly but when Rama\u1e0d\u0101n ends, it stops suddenly. People get used to that manifestation, to that good taste. They feel sad as if a friend had left. All\u0101h shows people goodness, good things. He says; “Do good things, search for good things”. The ego on the contrary, says the opposite. They follow that.<\/p>\n

This is a matter of belief. When belief gets stronger, you don’t care about the world. Even if you do care, you want to use the world for \u0101khirah. He (jj) says; “Don’t earn in this world and leave it in the world. If you leave behind good children, if you leave good things for them, it is ok. Because people collect money, wealth and fortune in this world, as if they’ll never die. This is lack of belief. Believers say; “may All\u0101h give us, so we can help people, so that we have good deeds”. Our Prophet (sas) says in a holy \u1e25ad\u012bth; “If someone helps a Muslim brother it is better than doing i\u2018tik\u0101f (seclusion) for 2 months in Masjid an-Nabaw\u012b. That isn’t like a normal masjid. When somebody helps people it is better than doing 2 months i\u2018tik\u0101f in our Prophet’s (sas) masjid. For every i\u2018tik\u0101f, even if they aren’t there, but are elsewhere, the virtue of every day of i\u2018tik\u0101f is such that He (jj) gives such a paradise that between East and West, three water channels each as wide as the distance between East and West – that much space in paradise All\u0101h \u2018Azza wa Jalla gives to these people. Doing i\u2018tik\u0101f is a big virtue but what is even better is helping believing brothers and sisters to resolve their problems. This is better, as our Prophet (sas), the honest and the right said. <\/p>\n

So, this world should be for \u0101khirah, not for this world. The purpose is not this world. It is \u0101khirah. If All\u0101h \u2018Azza wa Jalla gives you the world, it will be at your service. If you run for the world, you’ll be serving this world, you’ll be its slave. May All\u0101h make this Rama\u1e0d\u0101n mub\u0101rak (blessed). In sh\u0101\u2019 All\u0101h, all these blessings will be opened for us. <\/p>\n

May they have blessings, both physically and spiritually. For the locals here, there are as many students coming from abroad as the people, who live here. In sh\u0101\u2019 All\u0101h, it will be a blessing for them also. When you look for sprituality there seems to be little outside among the people. Like Mawl\u0101n\u0101 used to say; “ordinary people” they aren’t aware of Rama\u1e0d\u0101n. They know nothing about religion either. With All\u0101h’s wisdom, there is a big spirituality on this island, \u1e24al\u0101 Sul\u1e6d\u0101n being in the first place. There are more than 1000 \u1e63a\u1e25\u0101bah. Their places are known. There are martyrs and awliy\u0101\u2019 coming after them. There are believers. Finally, Mawl\u0101n\u0101 and Hajja Anne are here. They are the spiritual caretakers of this place. There is spiritual power. Not only for here, they reach everywhere in the world. With All\u0101h’s permission. the power of awliy\u0101\u2019 doesn’t decrease, rather it increases after going to \u0101khirah. We see this everywhere. Anybody, who comes, even if they don’t know Mawl\u0101n\u0101, they are telling of the kar\u0101m\u0101t (miracles) and help of Mawl\u0101n\u0101 after he passed away. <\/p>\n

In sh\u0101\u2019 All\u0101h, here it is beautiful. One of the good servants of All\u0101h is here, one of the good things. These are things we need to search for. Happy are those, who know. It is good for people, who appreciate. To those, who don’t appreciate, a bead and an emerald are the same. It doesn’t matter. Many times people have found valuable diamonds, glass diamonds, emeralds. They sold it for nothing, for the price of a bead. Those, who knew the value they sold it for a million times that price. It is important to appreciate. May All\u0101h make us from those, who appreciate. <\/p>\n

Keep your belief strong. Whatever All\u0101h says will be. For this reason, don’t have any doubt. These devils want you to doubt. They can’t do harm to people, who are connected. They can only do it to people, who are outside. They don’t have value. Valuable people in All\u0101h’s sight are the believers. “I’m the president, I’m rich, I’m this, that, I’m beautiful” – these have no value. It wasn\u2019t given by All\u0101h. People gave honour to themselves. May All\u0101h give all of us persistence in this way. May All\u0101h give sense to non-believers. In sh\u0101\u2019 All\u0101h, they find the right path. Mawl\u0101n\u0101 was saying; “May all these people be Muslims, come to the right path”. He didn’t want badness. If we say “may these people, not come to the right path”, then we will want for them bad things. We want goodness so that they come to such nice places, to beauty. In sh\u0101\u2019 All\u0101h, they will come to the right path. When they do, we won’t lose anything, On the contrary we will gain. Blessings will increase. Light will increase, in sh\u0101\u2019 All\u0101h. <\/p>\n

Al-\u1e25amdu liLl\u0101h we have reached the month of Rama\u1e0d\u0101n, which All\u0101h \u2018Azza wa Jalla He make a special thing for this month. And He is looking for people, human beings, and for believers and when they are doing good things in this month, He is happy and He is proud to say for [to] angels “Look for [at] these people, how they are respecting this month, and they are happy with this month, worshipping, doing every good thing.” The Prophet (sas) said – at\u0101kum shahru r-Rama\u1e0d\u0101n – this is in khu\u1e6dbah we said. It’s like giving good tidings. Rama\u1e0d\u0101n it is a special month and it has something you cannot find in another month. Especially when it is finished, you feel it. You are like suddenly go [to an] empty place. But before Rama\u1e0d\u0101n, there is Rajab, Sha\u2018b\u0101n beginning slowly, slowly to make these months to prepare for Rama\u1e0d\u0101n. But when finished, you feel a sadness because it is – maybe people they are happy they finished fasting, no more fasting, no more long praying, but, even this, they are feeling sadness.<\/p>\n

Because this is giving your spiritual feeding. Your spirituality taking from this month and be happy. Because when you don’t have any spirituality you feel miserable, you feel sad. But in this month, for believers especially, it is giving [a] special gift from All\u0101h. <\/p>\n

All\u0101h He likes people to obey. And even suffering from hunger they are catching another thing. When you are hungry, you feel, you cannot think bad things. Only you think “I am hungry” or if not, tired. But it is giving this for your body, bodily being. But for spiritual [being], it is important to not be full with food. When you are full with food, becoming like horse – you like to run this way, that way. But when you are hungry, everything you can, tied your ego, shay\u1e6d\u0101n cannot affect for you. And All\u0101h \u2018Azza wa Jalla saying for people to do good things in this month, especially zak\u0101t. And it is once a year but most of the people they are doing in Rama\u1e0d\u0101n. To not forget. and to help people, it is also very important. You are doing this for All\u0101h. <\/p>\n

And All\u0101h \u2018Azza wa Jalla give this world to live – it is not for, only for living for this duny\u0101. No, for… You can make money, you can make everything in this duny\u0101. You can be strong, you can be high, you can be rich. It is not bad. But not for main aim to [be] this. The main aim [is] to use this for way of All\u0101h. If you do this, you are in right way. But if only running after duny\u0101, not giving anything for people, bringing everything for you, this it is wrong. But for, to help people, it is free. You can be rich as much you like, after you give your charity. You give for poor people, [to] help people, it is very good. Because Prophet (sas) saying, there is \u1e25ad\u012bth also: “To help one believer to his brother for everything, [it] may be with money or physically or by tongue. To help him, All\u0101h rewards him more than two months i\u2018tik\u0101f (seclusion) in his holy mosque [of] Prophet (sas). And i\u2018tik\u0101f it is this month also, after 20th of Rama\u1e0d\u0101n. Each day, All\u0101h gives three …, like this world from East to West, three times bigger than this. For one day, for i\u2018tik\u0101f who doing not [only] in Medina, everywhere. But in Medina, Prophet (sas) especially saying and it is more reward. 60 days it is nothing comparing to this what he, believer helping his brother. <\/p>\n

For this, we can look for business, for work, for everything. It is not forbidden. Not for duny\u0101 [are] we doing this. Only for be strong, for help people, for help Isl\u0101m, for help \u1e6dar\u012bqah. When you do this, even it is as Prophet (sas) [said] like worshipping. We mustn’t forget this. We are, everything we do we do for sake of All\u0101h and, in sh\u0101\u2019 All\u0101h, we hope, we are in this island. [On] this island [it] looks like the people they are forgetting religion. They are not remembering. Even if you go out of the derg\u00e2h you cannot see, maybe 95% of people they don’t know we are in Rama\u1e0d\u0101n. But OK, it’s not important. What [is] important – this island has a special spiritual power by people, holy people, they lived here and they [are] buried here. Especially like \u1e24al\u0101 Sul\u1e6d\u0101n, and there are more than 1000 of \u1e63a\u1e25\u0101bah of Prophet (sas). There is awliy\u0101\u2019 there is \u1e63\u0101li\u1e25\u012bn there is shuhad\u0101\u2019 martyrs. Especially, we have Mawl\u0101n\u0101 Shaykh. He is in his holy place, and Hajji Anne. They are giving power not only for this island, for everywhere of [in the]world. Because Awliy\u0101\u2019u Ll\u0101h, Beloved people for All\u0101h, they are becoming more stronger when they pass away. When they changing their world, they are becoming more active. <\/p>\n

So, al-\u1e25amdu liLl\u0101h, we are not ya\u2019s (hopeless) we are not hopeless for these people. And we are, Mawl\u0101n\u0101 was every time making du\u2018\u0101\u2019 to make these people also to be, come to right way. We are not cursing people. We want good for people. Mawl\u0101n\u0101 also wanted good things for people, and the best thing for people, for human beings, [is] to come for right way, to know their Creator and believe in Him, and respect Him. This is the best thing for them, [that] we can make du\u2018\u0101\u2019 for them. We are not cursing them, because curse not good. Better to make du\u2018\u0101\u2019, pray for them, for human beings to come to right way. In sh\u0101\u2019 All\u0101h. For this, sake of Prophet (sas), mash\u0101yikh, Mawl\u0101n\u0101 Shaykh, and for the sake of Rama\u1e0d\u0101n. In sh\u0101\u2019 All\u0101h <\/p>\n
