Shaykh Mehmet Adil Al-Haqqani, Sohbet of the 7th 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

Shukur to All\u0101h, we finished Rama\u1e0d\u0101n, reached the month of Shaww\u0101l. Shaww\u0101l is a heavy month but it also has virtue. There are six days of fasting in Shaww\u0101l. It is the sunnah of the Prophet (saw). If you fast these six days, plus the thirty days of Rama\u1e0d\u0101n \u2013 every day is counted as ten days, it adds up to 360 days. You’ll be rewarded as if you fasted the whole year. Whoever fasts on these days, his sins will be taken away, he’ll be as clean and without sin as if he was just born. . It is an expiation for all sins. Because of this he’ll be as if he fasted the whole year, his whole life. It is a very virtuous fasting. <\/p>\n

Normally if you want you can start on the second say of \u2018\u012ad and complete six days like our Prophet (saw). You can do the Shaww\u0101l fasting until the end of the month – you can either fast one by one or all at once. You can but whatever the Prophet (saw) did, following him (saw), keeping his way is more virtuous, rewarding. Still All\u0101h Azza wa Jalla showed mercy to people – they can do it slowly. But it is easier, more comfortable to fast it all together. Otherwise it is quite difficult. We also did it many times, one by one day is quite difficult to fast in Shaww\u0101l. But when you do it all at once it is easier. <\/p>\n

This is also a big gift from All\u0101h after Rama\u1e0d\u0101n, it is the mercy of our Prophet (saw). Here people only look at material things. However they should be more careful about spiritual things and follow them. We have to look what we can take. Materialism comes from disbelief. The stronger the belief the more you want to look at spirituality. Whatever will be done, for example six days of Shaww\u0101l, from the first day of Dh\u016b l-\u1e24ijjah until ninth day, if he wants he can fast on first, eighth, ninth, fasting on Mu\u1e25arram etc. These are nice things. A person, with strong spirituality and belief waits for those days to fast. May All\u0101h accept it in sh\u0101\u2019 All\u0101h. <\/p>\n

This al\u1e25amdu liLl\u0101h we are in last day of \u02bf\u012ad, Shaww\u0101l. This is month of Shaww\u0101l. Moon calendar, every month has special things for them. Shaww\u0101l, it is little bit heavy month. After three holy months Shaww\u0101l coming. We must be more careful, more doing good things, to be protected. And there is in Shaww\u0101l six days to fast. In six days – each day, with Rama\u1e0d\u0101n, equal to ten days. So it’s 360 days, equal one year for moon calendar. Because moon calendar not like sun calendar, it’s less. And when you do this, Prophet (saw) said your sins it will go out from you as you are newborn baby – no sin for them at all. When you do this with Rama\u1e0d\u0101n, all your sins will be gone al-\u1e25amdu liLl\u0101h. . And All\u0101h reward you as you are fasting whole year. <\/p>\n

“\u1e62\u0101\u2019imu d-dahr” meaning – there is a few people, they are doing this. Rare people. They are fasting whole life. Only breaking fast in first of \u2018\u012adu l-Fi\u1e6dr and four days for \u2018\u012adu l-A\u1e0d\u1e25\u00e1. Five days a year they are not fasting. But all year fasting. And we are fasting maybe two months altogether with n\u0101filah. But these people, they are fasting all their life. They were calling them “\u1e62\u0101\u2019imu d-dahr”. First time I was seeing in… I was child, Mawl\u0101n\u0101 show me one man. He said this is “\u1e62\u0101\u2019imu d-dahr”. I was little bit astonished how he is whole life fasting. How? It is very difficult thing. <\/p>\n

But Prophet (saw) who said fasting six days, with Rama\u1e0d\u0101n, of Shaww\u0101l, he is like whole life fasting. And to beginning from second day of \u2018\u012ad, second of Shaww\u0101l sunnah of Prophet (saw). He was doing, finishing six days altogether. And when finish, they said \u2018\u012adu l-Abr\u0101r, “feast of pure people”. But for people, they can do like this or they can do one day by one day, whole month of Shaww\u0101l. One day they like to do, they can do. But the best to do it altogether because more easy. Because this month, it’s really heavy to fast in it. Especially, one day by one day, it is so difficult. Many people they beginning and they cannot finish. But intention to finish with fasting two days after, looking – oh Shaww\u0101l finish. <\/p>\n

Al-\u1e25amdu liLl\u0101h this is also gift from All\u0101h and this is spiritual gift. And people who are getting more belief, they are looking for this thing. Not looking for material thing, looking especially for spiritual thing also like Shaww\u0101l fasting, Dh\u016b l-\u1e24ijjah fasting, Mu\u1e25arram fasting, like Rajab, Sha\u2018b\u0101n . All these we are, they are people looking for this. When belief becomes stronger, looking for this. But if not, no belief, they are even Rama\u1e0d\u0101n they’re not feeling. All\u0101h make us to feel this taste, to enjoy this spiritual gift from All\u0101h, to be happy. All\u0101h make our belief more stronger and stronger, in sh\u0101\u2019 All\u0101h. <\/p>\n
