Shaykh Mehmet Adil Al-Haqqani, Sohbet of the 21st of July, 2016. <\/strong><\/p>\n

As-sal\u0101mu \u2018alaykum 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\u016blin\u0101 Mu\u1e25ammadin Sayyidi l-awwal\u012bna wa l-\u0101khir\u012bn. Madad y\u0101 Ras\u016bla Ll\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 al-F\u0101\u2019iz 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

Our Prophet (saw) said: “people get old but by two things stay young.” You aren’t aware you are old. What are these two things? One is the love of the world, loving whatever there is in the world. You think you are young, you don’t think you are old. Whatever is in the world, possessions – that love won’t end just because people got old. There is no such thing. It doesn’t end. You can control that love of the world only by training the ego. “Now I’m young, I love the world, I want to have everything. I won’t do anything, when I get old.” Sometimes as you get older, it comes out more; there may be more love of the world.<\/p>\n

The second one is hope, it means “\u1e6d\u016blu l-amal”. People think they will live more. They don’t say: “we got old, we have to pray more, remember All\u0101h more”. So, “\u1e6d\u016blu l-amal” – hope – they think they’ll never die. But you are old. That you are approaching the place where everybody is going, is clear. So pull yourself together. Be for All\u0101h. Go in the way of All\u0101h and the Prophet (saw). “We aren’t that old now, we’ll live more, we’ll pray later. If they are praying, I’ll do \u1e25ajj later. We are 60 years old, we can do \u1e25ajj when we are 70, 80. If we make \u1e25ajj, we won’t have any sins.” That is also hope. But All\u0101h gave us a life, hope won’t make it longer. Do everything as if it will end soon. When you have no hope, you say I do them all at once, so I gain my \u0101khirah. Like that it has to be continuous. <\/p>\n

You have to do good, thinking “We can go evening or morning, how will I face All\u0101h in the \u0101khirah?” This is what the Prophet (saw) says and he (saw) is truthful, trustworthy. Every word he (saw) says is the truest. Everybody has this. They have, but the Prophet (saw) says it to train it. Be careful to use these qualities in a way that it serves All\u0101h. Do everything for All\u0101h’s sake. <\/p>\n

Prophet (saws) he is saying, and he is the most perfect saying. What he said: there is two things in human beings, even when human being is getting old, very old even, these two things still, people… in people it is like young.” As much as he is old, he thinks he is still young. What are these two things? First love of this life, enjoyment of this life – property, car, land, money, everything. Old people they are…don’t think they are saying: “we are old, we don’t want anymore.” Maybe sometimes they want more than young. Why? Because the secret of this, Prophet (saws) is saying, they still think young in their mind. “We are still, we can live many (years) and we need this, we must collect, we must take more, and more, and more.” And it is not good because we are not created only for love of collecting money, collecting land, collecting property or what. We will leave this and we [go] for \u0101khirah.<\/p>\n

And it is seeing also old – they will be not thinking for this. Why? Prophet (saws) saying, this feeling still not changing in human being, feeling young. For this they want more and more. <\/p>\n

Second one, what feeling is still young, is hope, long hope. Hope – not feeling even they are old, they say “we still we will live. We will not die.” Even they are not thinking about dying. Only thinking for life. Even, Mawl\u0101n\u0101 was saying, there is a saying in Turkish “One leg in hole, hole meaning grave, and still they are not feeling this, not doing good thing, not obeying All\u0101h, not making charity or to do anything. No they not thinking at all. In our \u1e6dar\u012bqah, everyday you must think seven times for death. It is when you waking up – maybe we cannot reach evening we say. When in nighttime you sleep, maybe we cannot wake up. All life, All\u0101h He give us our life and He [appoint] a certain time for us. So, to be long hope we will live many years, it is not from teaching of Isl\u0101m, or teaching of \u1e6dar\u012bqah. <\/p>\n

Every time we must say “we be ready to be in front of Divine Presence of All\u0101h and we must be in good condition, not to be ashamed of what we do in our life.” Who are saying, “Oh we will live too much, maybe I’m now 70 years, after 10 years I can go to \u1e25ajj and all my sin it will go.” All\u0101h knows you will be maybe one hour later you will die. You don’t know. You don’t have guarantee for this. So, we must be ready. Prophet (saws) saying these two things for desire of human being, for everybody this. But we must make it, trim it, to make it good for our way, way of Prophet (saws). When we, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h, meet him, to be not ashamed in front of him, to be happy, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h. All\u0101h help us, all of us. <\/p>\n

Wa min All\u0101hi t-tawf\u012bq, al-F\u0101ti\u1e25ah. <\/p>\n
