Shaykh Mehemt Adil Al-Haqqani, Sohbet of the 2nd of July, 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-awwal\u012bna 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, madad y\u0101 Mash\u0101yikhin\u0101, dast\u016br y\u0101 Shaykh \u2018Abdu Ll\u0101h ad-D\u0101ghist\u0101ni, Shaykh Mu\u1e25ammad N\u0101\u1e93im al-\u1e24aqq\u0101ni madad. \u1e6car\u012bqatun\u0101 \u1e63-\u1e63u\u1e25bah wa l-khayru fi l-jam\u2018iyyah.<\/p>\n

The most important thing in the human body is the heart. Our Prophet (saw) said: “If that is good, the whole body becomes good if that is bad, the whole body becomes bad”. It is like this both physically and spiritually. If you have a heart disease they treat you. They do physical treatment but actually they need to do the spiritual treatment. A Muslim’s heart is clean. It is full of love of All\u0101h and fear of All\u0101h. It should be filled with goodness for people. It should be merciful. There should be mercy. When it is so then you are a true believer – you want goodness for everyone. You never want badness for anyone.<\/p>\n

Once upon a time Sirr\u012b Saqa\u1e6d\u012b Hz. Ma\u2018r\u016bf Karkh\u012b Hz. he was in Baghdad. The river Tigris runs through Baghdad. The river Tigris is a big river. Because it was big they used to travel on it by boat, they went around. One day when they were sitting a boat passed them by. There were young people in it. They were singing and playing, making jokes, and also drinking alcohol. His friends said to him – “These are sinners. Curse on them.” He said “O All\u0101h make these people happy hereafter, just like they are happy here”. They asked him – “These people are sinners. We asked you to curse on them but you prayed for their \u0101khirah”. He answered them – “People, who will be happy in \u0101khirah should have gained All\u0101h’s pleasure, be granted All\u0101h’s forgiveness.” They heard later that those youngsters really repented and came to the right path. <\/p>\n

The heart of a true Muslim, awliy\u0101\u2019, always wants goodness. They don’t respond to bad people with bad manners, they respond with the manners of awliy\u0101\u2019. If they are mistreated, they still do good. Finally, with All\u0101h’s permission they find goodness. A non-believer’s heart is just the opposite. There is no mercy in that heart, no goodness, just misery. They don’t want goodness for anyone. They only want goodness for themselves. They don’t want goodness for anyone else. A believer’s heart isn’t like that, his heart is pure and good just as our Prophet (sas) described. This is a good heart – a heart that doesn’t want badness for others.<\/p>\n

A very important thing in life of human being, anybody – the heart. It is most important piece in our body. Prophet (saw) he was saying in his holy talk, \u1e25ad\u012bth – there is one piece of meat in your body, if it is good, all your body good. If it is spoilt and not good, all your body finished, not good. And this is for spiritual and material also. Material – now many hospitals, many doctors, they are experts and good doctors. They can make surgery, make bypass, other many things they do now for heart. They survive people. But this is not so important like spiritual one. <\/p>\n

In spiritual one must be for good believing, good Awliy\u0101\u2019u Ll\u0101h, or normal believers. It must be full of love for All\u0101h and Prophet (saw) and for people also to need, to want, ask for good things for people, giving light, giving mercy for people. This is right one. Even they saw bad thing, they like to make it changing to better. <\/p>\n

There is once in Baghdad Ma\u2018r\u016bf al-Karkhi, he is big awliy\u0101\u2019. He was, mother and father they were Christian and they give him to one teacher to teach him. And of course, teacher he was a Christian. He was saying three in one, one in three something like this. He said “No, only One. Only one God, no three Gods. Cannot be.” He was small boy. And teacher was beating him. At the end he run away from teacher. And mother and father they were asking. They regret, they said “If he comes, we ask him which religion he will be and we follow him.” After a while, he come. He said only one God. They accept, mother and father also become Muslim. And he was from childhood like holy one. Many kar\u0101m\u0101t for him. Even to visit his grave was famous to accept du\u2018\u0101\u2019 for him, for who are visiting his grave. <\/p>\n

Once he was sitting with his companions near river called Dijla (Tigris) passing through Turkey, coming through Baghdad. And this is big river. People can go by boat, even by ship. So there were many people going, coming. Once they were sitting and there was boat full of youngsters. They were singing, laughing, drinking. And these people they saw – “O Shaykh, look, these people, they are doing \u1e25ar\u0101m, wrong thing middle of the day, middle of people. Curse them, pray for them to be cursed.” And he said “O All\u0101h, they are happy here. Make them happy in \u0101khirah also.” Companions were very astonished. “What? O Shaykh, what are you saying? These people, we tell you to curse them. You are making du\u2018\u0101\u2019 for them.” He said if they are happy in \u0101khirah, it is real happiness. Bad people cannot be happy in \u0101khirah. So All\u0101h make them acceptable people. And really after a while, they hear all these youngsters from du\u2018\u0101\u2019 of Ma\u2018r\u016bf al-Karkhi, they become good people and left this bad life. <\/p>\n

This is what Awliy\u0101\u2019u Ll\u0101h, they like for people. They like only good thing for people, they don’t like any bad thing. They want to be everybody to be good. Even Mawl\u0101n\u0101 many times we hear this in his \u1e63u\u1e25bah. He said “I am wishing to be all this island to be real Muslim.” This for believers – clean heart, nice heart, soft heart – our aim, order. And who are not believer or not respecting Prophet (saw), their heart darkness and they don’t want anything good for people. Only they want bad thing for people. And they are miserable, here miserable and in next life also miserable. To be good heart, it is nice and it is good for you, for all human being. We try, in sh\u0101\u2019 All\u0101h, to take this bad thing from our heart, in sh\u0101\u2019 All\u0101h. <\/p>\n
