Shaykh Mehmet Adil Al-Haqqani, Sohbet of the 17th of July, 2016.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Q: As-sal\u0101m \u2018alaykum Shaykh Mehmet<\/strong><\/p>\n

S: Wa \u2018alaykum as-sal\u0101m wa ra\u1e25amatu Ll\u0101hi wa barak\u0101tuhu. <\/p>\n

Q: I\u2019d like to ask you a few questions with your permission.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: Ja, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h. <\/p>\n

Q: Shaykh Mehmet, you have been chosen as the deputy of Im\u0101m Mahd\u012b, what does that mean for you?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: We are chosen … Mawl\u0101n\u0101 he appoint us to, for his place. So it is the place, when Mahd\u012b (as) coming, he is also one of deputy of Mahd\u012b (as). We are following order only. We are not saying I am this, I am that. Only when something happen, we can be, if we are not, another one. But, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h, we hope it is near, Sayyidin\u0101 al-Mahd\u012b. We are waiting long time ago, all people waiting, but it is now end of time, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h. We hope to be his deputy, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h. <\/p>\n

Q: Im\u0101m Mahd\u012b was supposed to reveal himself in 2011 at the \u1e24ajj but instead there was a spiritual meeting between you, Shaykh N\u0101\u1e93im and the Mahd\u012b. What did the Mahd\u012b reveal to you at that time?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: This date it is heavenly and it is appeared for Awliy\u0101\u2019u Ll\u0101h. Time it is not important because sometimes they give a date, but this date when you see in Heaven date, maybe it is near, maybe it is far. From love of All\u0101h, you cannot realise. It is just order of All\u0101h and it is like this. So we waiting. <\/p>\n

Q: There has been some opposition to your leadership within the \u1e6dar\u012bqah itself. Has it been resolved to your satisfaction now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

S: Al-\u1e25amdu liLl\u0101h we are only following order of Mawl\u0101n\u0101 and it is order for everybody. Somebody, if they are not happy you cannot force them. It is way of heart. You cannot force people to follow you. What only like to do, is to have good people with us. Maybe because after Mawl\u0101n\u0101 he select people, he choose people, who must be follow us, to not make it more hard. Because it is too hard to this situation, this position for us. If you have difficult people it will be more difficult. So he select them and he take them out. And al-\u1e25amdu liLl\u0101h we are going now with very good people, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h and good – asking All\u0101h to send people who will be good for \u1e6dar\u012bqah, for ummah, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h. <\/p>\n

Q: Im\u0101m Mahd\u012b is supposed to be part of the Naqshband\u012b \u1e6dar\u012bqah, how do you feel about being a guide for the Mahd\u012b?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: This is maybe a little bit misunderstood. Mawl\u0101n\u0101 was saying for Im\u0101m Mahd\u012b, when he comes, he is Mujtahid Mu\u1e6dlaq. What meaning this? Ijtih\u0101d meaning to put rule for shar\u012b\u2018ah. So Prophet (saws) he was first ruler. After him there were many madhhab, \u1e6dar\u012bqah. Also all, most of them, finish – only to four madhhab: Hanaf\u012b, Sh\u0101fi\u2018\u012b, M\u0101lik\u012b, \u1e24anbal\u012b. And \u1e6dar\u012bqah, there is 41 \u1e6dar\u012bqah. All this mujtahid meaning – everyone they have a different opinion. But when Mahd\u012b (as) coming, Mawl\u0101n\u0101 was saying last time he.. it will be only one madhhab, one \u1e6dar\u012bqah. So no \u1e6dar\u012bqah in his time, only his, because he is real khal\u012bfah and we, all people following him by \u1e6dar\u012bqah and by shar\u012b\u2018ah also. So no Naqshband\u012b \u1e6dar\u012bqah at that time, only his, no any \u1e6dar\u012bqah. <\/p>\n

Q: Why has the Mahd\u012b needed to remain hidden for so long?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: For some wisdom from All\u0101h (awj). But it need this I think. If he appear, people, no time for…when he appears he will be for his time, but now he didn’t because time not yet. Order not coming yet to appear. It must be cooked – this world. Still need I think. I don’t know if it still needs, but it looks like it’s very cooked, burned now. But, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h we wait, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h. Time All\u0101h He know the best, All\u0101h (awj) He knows. <\/p>\n

Q: For such a huge spiritual being why would he only have 313 followers?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: 313, I didn’t understand the question.<\/p>\n

Q: They said that Im\u0101m Mahd\u012b will have 313 followers, supporters.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: Commanders, this. Commanders. The others are down of them, many they have – all, in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h, will be his follower. <\/p>\n

Q: But he will also face a lot of opposition, who are the forces that will be opposing the Mahd\u012b?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: Of course the people who are following making this mess in this world, Islamic world especially, and other forces also who are against Isl\u0101m also. All will be shay\u1e6d\u0101n’s army, all will be facing him. <\/p>\n

Q: I would like to talk a little bit about B\u012bb\u012b F\u0101\u1e6dimah. You know our Prophet gave her so much respect and regard, but unfortunately she died quite sad and disappointed. And she faced opposition. Why is this?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: There is many thing for this. She is, because she was the most beloved for Prophet (saws), she was very sad, very sensitive and she couldn’t more than six months live after Prophet (saws). Because he (saws) told her when he was ill, “I will pass away.” And she was very sad.<\/p>\n

He told her good tiding for her “you will be with me after, the first one, you will be with me.” So she was like this, very sensitive and small thing happened at that time, she was…because \u1e63a\u1e25\u0101bah (ra) they are good, but to make…it was test, it was really difficult, because the order of the Prophet and this sensitivity of Sayyidatin\u0101 F\u0101\u1e6dimah… So it was very difficult for them, but for order of Prophet (saws) they preferred to do it and she was disappointed for this. But All\u0101h reward her and she will be in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h happy, very happy because she’s the first one who went to Prophet (saws). It is little bit thing in duny\u0101 we cannot… She was whole life suffering from duny\u0101, so after Prophet (saws) also this happened for her just to make her higher in her degree. So, no need to make it something big for to curse any \u1e63a\u1e25\u0101bah or to say wrong thing for \u1e63a\u1e25\u0101bah. <\/p>\n

Q: What has been her role and the role of B\u012bb\u012b Zaynab in keeping the religion pure? What has been their contribution?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: She is the mother of all Ahlu l-Bayt, the generation (descendants) of Prophet (saws). This is enough, and she was like mother for Prophet, even she’s daughter but she was like mother, yes. She had big, very big role. She’s named after \u1e63a\u1e25\u0101bah she’s coming, \u1e24asan, \u1e24usayn, Sayyidatin\u0101 F\u0101\u1e6dimah. She is very huge <\/p>\n

Q: And also B\u012bb\u012b Zaynab?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: B\u012bb\u012b Zaynab, but she’s … F\u0101\u1e6dimah the best. <\/p>\n

Q: But even B\u012bb\u012b Zaynab she went against and took on the authorities and challenged them, being a woman and, you know. How important was that, for us as Muslims, her example – that she stood up and spoke out against what she thought was wrong at the time?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: After Karbal\u0101\u2019, this is another subject. Sayyidatin\u0101 F\u0101\u1e6dimah’s role another subject. Sayyidatin\u0101 Zaynab also big thing, but at that time what happened it was wrong. And it was against – the fitnah beginning from there…from not from… It is long story but it is really sad thing happened, very wrong thing happened at that time. For Isl\u0101m especially, because this not accepting the highness of Prophet (saws). We said they’re making as they are the highest position in Quraysh. So it was really difficult. It is long thing to explain here. But al-\u1e25amdu liLl\u0101h, All\u0101h He honour them and now everywhere millions of people visiting her, but who make wrong for them, nobody visit them, nobody asking about them. <\/p>\n

Q: Shaykh N\u0101\u1e93im had told me that Hz Ab\u016b Bakr said that he was keeping the am\u0101nah of B\u012bb\u012b F\u0101\u1e6dimah to give to Im\u0101m Mahd\u012b. What is this am\u0101nah?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: Spiritual am\u0101nah, spiritual thing, because she has big because Sayyidin\u0101 al-Mahd\u012b also is from her grandsons. So from Prophet (saws), to grand, his grand-mother B\u012bb\u012b F\u0101\u1e6dimah, he will take it when he appears in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h. <\/p>\n

Q: Shaykh N\u0101\u1e93im always praised his wife, your mother, Hj Anne, saying that she is a great spiritual power and spiritual support for him. What is this.. what is the kind of spiritual support that she was giving him?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: Because she is also one of 40 big Awliy\u0101\u2019- arba\u2018\u012bn we call it, because there is seven of them ladies. This 40 awliy\u0101\u2019 every time they have. When somebody pass away another coming. Seven of them women, one of them Hj Anne. From this she was supporting. And supporting also in life. Because when he was married to her, going everywhere and she was not, she encouraging to go for give people blessing and to guide them to right way. She is not complaining at all and she was looking for the house and children. So he was also support by to be not worried for his house. And especially for spiritual support also. <\/p>\n

Q: The power of the feminine, spiritual feminine, seems to be kind of hidden and not really so much talked about or understood. Is this understanding going to be part of the spiritual awakening in the future – the power of the female spirituality? <\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: If you like if you see when you go anywhere, the ladies they are more than men. For ziy\u0101rah (visiting maq\u0101ms), for praying, it is more but they’re, All\u0101h gave them role to make good people. For her family or for another, their role it is big. They are the first teacher for men – big thing, like B\u012bb\u012b F\u0101\u1e6dimah, like other. So it is not what, feminine [feminists] they are saying “we don’t have anything.” No they have the biggest thing. They bring all this big people, Prophet (sas). Sayidatin\u0101 \u0100minah, her son Prophet (sas) – it is not enough? All these Awliy\u0101\u2019u Ll\u0101h they have mothers, all they must be pure people, good people. <\/p>\n

Q: Shaykh N\u0101\u1e93im used to say that the current flows with the two points, so the man and the woman, the male energy the female energy has to come together to become the real power. Is this the secret that they have to sort of work together to become more powerful?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: Sometimes like this. Many times they cannot – they must suffer from this also. <\/p>\n

Q: Not everybody is so lucky.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: Yes, yes. <\/p>\n

Q: Shaykh N\u0101\u1e93im called Hal\u0101 Sul\u1e6d\u0101n, his Sul\u1e6d\u0101na. Is it possible for a woman to be a Sul\u1e6d\u0101n of men?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: Of course these \u1e63a\u1e25\u0101bah all, we call them Sul\u1e6d\u0101n – Ay\u016bb Sul\u1e6d\u0101n. We call them in our tradition we call all \u1e63a\u1e25\u0101bah – Sul\u1e6d\u0101n. So she is Sul\u1e6d\u0101na m\u0101 sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h. <\/p>\n

Q: Im\u0101m Mahd\u012b and Jesus are supposed to come together. Could this also be something like this coming together of male female balance? Somehow is this part of bringing harmony to the world? <\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: At that time it is only by miracle coming, not by normal thing, male or female. Only miracle time at that time. No need for this, because it is only short period. After it will be Judgement or Qiy\u0101mah. Because no time to make harmony to make this, only very short time. <\/p>\n

Q: This will be instantly, everything will just shift overnight or very quickly. That they will appear and everything will just fall into place?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Q: Because the time will finish then the time for people to make amends or to say sorry it will be over.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: Yes, maybe one months, five months, eight months one year – normally it must be one year, but if time no time, Prophet (saws) he said in one day, also it can all be all this. <\/p>\n

Q: Thank you Shaykh Mehmet.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

S: In sha All\u0101h, All\u0101h makes it very near to meet him in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h, all people meet him in sh\u0101\u2019a Ll\u0101h. All\u0101h. Sh\u0101hidu l-\u1e24aqq. As-sal\u0101mu \u2018alaykum, Wa min All\u0101hi t-tawf\u012bq, al-F\u0101ti\u1e25ah <\/p>\n
