Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Adil ق

Shaykh Mehmet Adil Al-Haqqani, Sohbet of the 22nd January 2026, Fajr, St Ann’s Dergah, London, UK.

Ṭarīqatunā ṣṣuḥbah wa l-khayru fi l-jam‘iyyah

Every time for Allah ﷻ we say Alhamdulillah Wa Shukrulillah – Allah ﷻ helps us with everything; every breath, every second, every minute.

Allah ﷻ is with us and we must know this and we thank him for this.  Many people, these ignorant people, are not knowing what’s good and what is bad. Normally those who do not know this are of no mind and have no responsibility; these people are in a mental house.

But there are some who are not in a mental house; they are responsible as they go to school they teach, they make work and business but when they come to thank Him they do not and this is not good for those who are doing this.

Eveything Allah ﷻ says is mentioned by Allah ﷻ and you should know Him and be thanking Him. These people who are not knowing this are worse than these creatures and Allah ﷻ created all creatures, even stone, even trees and they are all praising Allah ﷻ.

Allah ﷻ gave them knowledge to know their creator; if they don’t know their creator then they think they are better than you.

Be careful with everything you must be happy. Allah ﷻ gave all for you including the knowledge to know Him; many people are doing something not looking for what will happen.

Allah ﷻ make us to be knowledgeable people to know him, to accept him and thank him.

Wa min Allāhi tawfīq, al-Fātiḥah.

*COOPERATE IN GOODNESS*
Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani

Fajr Prayer – Sheikh Nazim Dergah; London, UK

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.

Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
‎وَتَعَاوَنُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلْبِرِّ وَٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ
“Wa ta‘āwanū ‘ala l-birri wa t-taqwā wa la ta‘āwanū ‘ala l-lithmī wa l-‘udwān”
‘‘And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.”(Qur’ān 05:02). Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

This is the best thing for all humanity, for Muslims also. This must be for Muslims. This order is a must for believers. To help each other in the good thing; charity or helping people with anything. It can be by hand, by tongue, by anything you can help. There are many, thousands of ways for helping people. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Help.” Be together. “Ta’āwanu” means cooperate and help each other. And don’t cooperate in doing bad things, in doing not good things. Don’t do this. This is for humans. Whoever says, “I am a human”, must be like this. A Muslim must be even more like this. They must help each other. Give naṣīḥah, advice. Give help.

Because many people think they are doing good, but they are doing very wrong things. For this, they must ask for help, “Am I doing good or am I doing bad things? I thought it is good for me to do this; it is good according to my thinking,” but when you ask, you find out that it’s not good, it’s a bad thing. And this becomes a big help for you. Because it wakes you up from doing sin, doing bad things without knowing. Sometimes you do something you thought it is good, but in reality, it is bad.

May Allāh جل جلاله grant us to be happy with helping and people helping us, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh جل جلاله bless you.

BATON, NYLON, HORMONE
Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani
25 January 2026/ 06 Sha’ban 1447
Fajr Prayer – Sheikh Nazim Dergah; London, UK

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.

Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying,

“The earth has been made for me a place of worship and a means of purification.”
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created earth and it is clean for us. For Ummat Sayyidina Muhammad ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, the whole earth is clean. You can pray anywhere that’s clean. Normally it is clean but if human beings made some place dirty, you cannot pray wherever is dirty. When in a clean place, you can pray. It is allowed to pray anywhere; in the Mosque or outside the mosque.

Because before [Islām], it must be in a place like a mosque or so for them to pray. Why? Because it [earth] was not made clean for others. Before Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, prayer was in a certain place. But for the sake of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, Allāh جل جلاله made the whole world clean and we can pray anywhere.

But now we are seeing, they’ve made everywhere dirty. Allāh جل جلاله is saying,
‎ ظَهَرَ ٱلْفَسَادُ فِى ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِى ٱلنَّاسِ
Žahara l-Fasādu Fī l-Barri Wa l-Baĥri Bimā Kasabat ‘Aydī nNāsi”“Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned.” (Qur’ān 30:41).
Now earth, land, water and sea are spoiled. They’ve become not good. How? From human beings. Human beings made it like this because of their envy. Thay are only thinking of themselves, not thinking of others so they made it not good anymore.

Mawlānā Shaykh was every time saying,
‎ “باطون، نایلون، ھرمون”,
“Baton, Nylon, Hormone.”
Baton means concrete. Nylon is plastic. Hormone, you know hormone. It looks like mankind cannot do without all this now. Why? Because they are used to doing this. Before, they were not doing this. There were many things instead of it. But now, of course, you cannot do anything about baton. For our personal life, you cannot find anything without baton. Maybe a very few, maybe it’s five percent or two percent where you can find something like this. But most of them, of course, with concrete; using concrete.

Of course, in some places you can use [non-concrete]; it is obligatory to use it. But not where you are living, where you are going. Baton in summer gives heat and in winter gives cold, going through your body. We cannot do anything anymore. Unfortunately, we cannot do anything. With hormone also, they put hormone in everything. You cannot see what they’ve put. To avoid this is impossible now. The third thing is nylon, plastic. This, we can avoid. Even if we can avoid only the third, it is also a big thing for us.

Allāh جل جلاله made these materials to be used again. Muslim are bringing them and throwing them everywhere. AlhamduliLlah, for Allāh جل جلاله
to make us more healthy, He جل جلاله gave inspiration to these people to put everywhere a place to throw this dirty thing. It is more dirty than – sorry to say – what you do in the toilet. It is plastic; it is more dirty.

So when you have something like this, it is obligatory for you not to throw this, in order not to make the world more dirty and not make isrāf (extravagance) also. You must collect it and put in this designated place, so it will be sadaqah for you because you are cleaning.

In everything, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, if you take dirt from street, it is sadaqah for you. Because many of the ṣaḥābah, when Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said that we must give sadaqah for each part of our body which is 360 parts, the ṣaḥābah didn’t have anything. Most of them were hungry; not finding anything.

They said, “O our Prophet, we don’t have anything. How can we do this?” He صلى الله عليه وسلم said, everything you do from good deeds is sadaqah; to take dirt off the streets is sadaqah, to take a stone off the street is sadaqah, to smile to your brother is sadaqah. And also there’s“Salātu d-Duhā”, which is enough for all of them.

What’s important here is to make more sadaqah as much as you can. Especially, for the mosque. When you take care of the mosque making it clean, for each small thing, Allāh جل جلاله rewards you in Jannah like a brick of gold.

So this is very important. Cleanliness is a main thing in Islām. “الن َّ َظافَةُ ِم ْن ا ْلإیمان”,
“An- َِِnadhāfatu mina l-īmān”, “Cleanliness is from īmān.” [Hadith]. Īmān is higher than Islām. So there becomes an opening for your heart and for yourself. So, in shā’a Llāh, this is for the whole world. Now we hear that people are not looking at all after this. You see the Islamic countries are dirtier than other countries. They don’t have this. May Allāh جل جلاله help us.

It is important. As we said, you at least save a third of your health with this, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh جل جلاله keep us safe and to be clean, and to be beloved ones for Allāh جل جلاله and Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

*WHY ARE WE IN ṬARĪQAH?*
Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani
26 January 2026/ 07 Sha’ban 1447
Loddon Hall – Reading, UK

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.

Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
‎مِّنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا۟ مَا عَـٰهَدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ ۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَىٰ نَحْبَهُۥ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُ
“Mina l-mu’minīna rijālun ṣadaqū mā ‘āhadū Llāha ‘alayhi fa-minhum man qaḍá naḥbahu wa-minhum man yantaẓir”
“Among the believers are men true to what they pledged to Allah . Among them is he who has fulfilled his vow [to the death], and among them is he who awaits [his chance].” (Qur’an 33:23) Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘aẓīm.

Allāh جل جلاله praises these men who stand behind their promise; what they promised Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And they don’t break this promise. They keep this promise their whole life until death. Their word is like men’s word; not changing. Sorry for the ladies, but we can say this. Now everyone has become not men. Many of them say something after that say no. When it doesn’t suit them, they say, “No. No. I just said that. I don’t care about the promise anymore.”

Why are we saying this? AlhamduliLlah most of you here are from this area – maybe half of the Jamā’ah are from here and others are coming to listen from London or from the other side.

Every time we come to this city, before coming here, we used to go to Shaykh Walīd. He is Palestinian. He was here in this area, spreading ṭarīqah among English, Pakistani, Arab and so. I’ve known him since 1985. At that time, he was small coming to Peckham to meet Mawlānā Shaykh. From that time, he never changed his way. He can be a Shaykh by himself. He can say “Ṭarīqah Walidiyyah.” It can be. Because nobody asked him to take him to Shaykh Nāẓim. He had knowledge, he had everything. And people were all the time with him. But he didn’t follow his ego and say, “I am Shaykh. I am like this. I am like that.” He was strongly after his promise. And when Mawlānā Shaykh changed worlds, he also didn’t change. Mawlānā ordered me. I am also not happy to be Shaykh. But Mawlānā ordered, “This man will be Shaykh for you.” So, he also didn’t say, “No, I don’t accept. I am Shaykh. I am like this, like that. No need to follow whom Mawlānā ordered to be Shaykh. I am also Shaykh. I am older in ṭarīqah than this Shaykh. I know better than him.” No, he just accepted. And he gave the same love because he was very clever, very wise. He had wisdom. And he knows: this way is not for the Shaykh, this way is for the way.

The Shaykh is coming and going. But the way stays the same. The love for this way mustn’t change. The Shaykh who comes, you follow the order. Especially those who say, “I love the Shaykh. I am a Murīd for 50-60 years.” And after that when the Shaykh orders something they say, “No, I don’t accept this. I must be Shaykh.” So this man was a good man.
For this, Allāh جل جلاله praises these people. Allāh جل جلاله says, this is a Man. Even women are Men if they are standing firm behind their promise. They are stronger than men who don’t stand behind their promise. This is very important in ṭarīqah.

Because you cannot find a real Shaykh, a real ṭarīqah. And if you are fifty years in ṭarīqah and you don’t know about this, you are nothing. By accident, you found yourself in ṭarīqah. After that, your whole life you’re saying, “What am I doing here? Who am I? What am I doing here?” You are here because you must – everybody must know this also for the barakah of Shaykh Walīd: you are in the ship of salvation. Mawlānā Shaykh was saying many times, as Sayyidina Nūh.

When you are in his ship, you will be safe in this world and in the other world also. So you must know. Don’t be unsure. Be sure you are in safety, don’t object and don’t say something Allāh جل جلاله is not happy with. Just follow.

AlhamduliLlah our way is clear. Many times they say, you have agents in your place. AlhamduliLlah we are very open for everybody. Our door is open. Not like others; when going inside they close the door. Our door is open. Who comes, welcome! Who’s not happy, bye bye. We are not catching people. But our way is to make people safe and to know; not to be wondering, “Why am I here? Why am I in this dunyā?” Many people become crazy shouting at their mother and father, “Why did you bring me to this world, to dunyā!” The father and mother didn’t bring you, Allāh جل جلاله did. Allāh جل جلاله created you and He جل جلاله sent you here.

So when you know this, you be satisfied and happy. No way to run away. Just wait, wait, wait, wait. When your time comes, you will meet your Lord, in shā’a Llāh. Don’t be anxious or worried, “How will I leave!” When your provision finishes, you will die. Even if you have billions, you won’t be able to put one more food in your mouth, or one drop of water. You cannot take this.

So don’t worry. Be happy. Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla promised everybody’s rizq, everybody’s life. It will be for a certain quantity or a certain time. When the time comes, you will go.

So, many people are making their lives like hell. Before going to ākhirah, the are making their lives hell. Every day worrying. Every day worrying. When you are not happy, quickly make wudu’ and pray that day’s prayer.

And it is important for all human beings to pray. Because praying is the time when we are the nearest to our Lord Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says. Allāh جل جلاله is everywhere, of course. But when you pray, He جل جلاله will be in your heart. Because He جل جلاله said,
“ما وَسِعَني أرضي ولا سَمائي، ولكنْ وَسِعَني قَلبُ عبدي المُؤمِنِ”,
“Indeed my earth and my heavens could not contain Me but the heart of my believing servant can.” It is a small heart but Allāh جل جلاله said when you pray He جل جلاله will be in your heart, and all your problems will go, in shā’a Llāh.

This is very important. And to not follow anybody who claims they will teach you better than this way. Because our way, from Mawlana Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh ad-Dāghestānī, Mawlānā Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī, all Mashāyikh are the same as from our Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم time. What Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying, they are following his صلى الله عليه وسلم Sunnah and showing people every goodness.

The best thing, the most good teaching from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam: is to be humble. All Mashāyikh were humble. Nobody was making himself better than others. They say, we are only serving. We are in khidmah. We are servants for the Ummah of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam.

When you see somebody, a ālim or other saying, “I am like this. I am like that”, don’t follow.

AlhamduliLlah, may Allāh جل جلاله bless Walīd Efendi. He was such a humble one, such a good one. And alhamduliLlah his seeds are also all continuing.

This is an important thing. To see something continuing is very important. Even if you’re doing a small thing, don’t leave it. Don’t leave this way. Don’t be cheated by others. It is very rare in this time to find good people to follow. You follow some of them who make you go out of the way. They say, “There’s no need for praying,” and they are misunderstanding big Mashāyikh, big Awliyā’u Llāh. As the Efendi was saying, Mawlānā Jalaluddīn Rumi says, to be with a saint or Shaykh is better than a hundred years of ‘ibādah.

Somebody maybe understands to not pray, to not do anything; No. When you are with the saint, he will show you how important it is to worship, how important it is to follow the right way, way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

All Awliyā’u Llāh are upon the Sharī’ah of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Ṭarīqah and sharī’ah are together. Without sharī’ah no ṭarīqah. Because that time, everybody will do what his ego likes. They will say, “Why shall we pray. We’ll sit and make tasbih and dhikr. There’s no need for praying.” Others will say about hajj, “Why are we going when it’s so crowded. We can go another time.” Others will say, “Why are you fasting in summer, it’s too long and hot. Fast like in these days, it’s very short and very easy.” So, this is what will happen. So, without sharī’ah, there cannot be ṭarīqah.

This is very important. You find every Awliyā’u Llāh very strict for ṭarīqah. And all these Awliyā’u Llāh, not one of them is outside of sharī’ah. Not one. You cannot find anyone of those outside of sharī’ah and madhāhib who has a mazār, a maqām. Only for those who follow sharī’ah and ṭarīqah. You can see this around the world; in Türkiye, Arab countries, Syria, Pakistan, Iraq. There are maqāms everywhere for those following sharī’ah. Those who don’t follow sharī’ah don’t have any place for people to come to take blessings from them. To go and ask Allāh جل جلاله for the sake of these people is important also. Because you take barakah. Allāh جل جلاله is all the time sending, showering the place of those beloved to Allāh جل جلاله, and you can take from this. You are not going to ask from this person. For their sake, you ask from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla to give you want you want.

Allāh جل جلاله gives everything. Many people are mixing this up and after that, it becomes a problem for them. May Allāh جل جلاله save us from our ego. May He جل جلاله make us follow the right way, and not be cheated by people who are claiming this and that and not listening to Awliyā’u Llāh, not listening to the will of Awliyā’u Llāh. The will of Awliyā’u Llāh is to be together, not to be away from the way of Mashāyikh, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh جل جلاله bless you.

*IT’S DANGEROUS WITHOUT A MURSHID*
Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani

Fajr Prayer – Sheikh Nazim Dergah; London, UK

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.

Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
‎وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦٓ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ ۖ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءُ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ وَنُورُهُمْ

“Wa Al -Ladhīna ‘Āmanū Billāhi Wa Rusulihi~’Ūlā’ika Humu Aş-Şiddīqūna◌ۖ Wa Ash-Shuhadā’u `Inda Rabbihim Lahum ‘Ajruhum Wa Nūruhum”
“And those who have believed in Allah and His messengers – those are [in the ranks of] the supporters of truth and the martyrs, with their Lord. For them is their reward and their light.” (Qur’an 57:19) Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is praising the believers. They have the best, highest rank in the Divine Presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. It’s important for everybody to be like this, a praised one in the Divine Presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

How can we be like this? By following Awliyā’u Llāh. They take you to this high maqām. Because without them, anybody cannot reach this high maqām; it’s very rare. But they also have a teacher for them. They have a Murshid, which we call Uwaysī. Sayyidina Al-Khidr ‘alayhi s-salām is teaching them. Without a Murshid, without a teacher, you cannot follow somebody. Who doesn’t follow this, his Murshid is shayṭān. He maybe thought he’s doing very well, doing everything, but at one point, all this will go away and he will be in the end without īmān, without belief. This is a very dangerous thing. To go by yourself to a dangerous place, any time your feet can slip and you will fall down. For this,don’t be without a Murshid.

You only hang your hand on them and this is
enough to save you. But if you want your ego to be big, don’t follow these people, go do whatever you like. In the end, you will be down. Nobody will save you. You will only be with shayṭān. Because it’s very easy for shayṭān to take you away from the right way to w hat he wants.
‎إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمُ
“Inna d-Dīna inda Allāhil – Islām.”
“Indeed , the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.”(Qur’ān 03:19). The religion for Allāh جل جلاله is Islām. 

Who is going out of this way of Islām,
“لا یُقبل منھ”
Allāh جل جلاله doesn’t accept from him. Allāh جل جلاله says in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n, what you do outside of this way, you will be following your ego and it is dangerous. In the end, it will be very bad for who follows his ego.

So, may Allāh جل جلاله keep us in His جل جلاله way, way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, way of Awliyā’, the way of nūr,of Light. May Allāh جل جلاله fill of our hearts with this love, in shā’a Llāh, with nūr, with this nūr, in shā’a Llāh.

*HOW TO BE SAFE FROM SHAYṬĀN?*
Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani
29 January 2026/ 10 Sha’ban 1447
Fajr Prayer – Sheikh Nazim Dergah; London, UK

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.

Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Rajab has ended. Now it’s Sha’bān. We are nearly reaching the middle of Sha’bān. It is the blessed month of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. AlhamduliLlah this is a big ni’mah to be making what Allāh جل جلاله likes. He جل جلاله gave us all this ni’mah, to be gathering for His جل جلاله love, for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam’s love, for the love of Awliyā’u Llāh.

It is very important to give love and happiness to the hearts of people; not give badness, hate or any bad thought. It is a big favor from Allāh جل جلاله, ni’mah. The biggest thing is to be under His جل جلاله order, not out of His جل جلاله order. When you are under His جل جلاله order you are safe. If you are not under His جل جلاله order, you are rebellious, you are all the time in problems, in troubles; nothing will be good for you.

Maybe you thought you’ll follow some people, they say, “Come. We will give you everything. Leave this.” Many people go after dunyā, and leave what they were doing. But this doesn’t give them anything but misery, and the opposite of what they were thinking. Some – may Allāh جل جلاله save us and make us to be safe – come back if they go. But if they do not come back, it’s a really bad thing for them. We are all the time saying,
‎“اللھم ثبتنا على الحق”
“Allahumma Thabbitna ‘Ala l-Haqq,”
“O Allāh جل جلاله make us steadfast in this way, not to go out of this way.”

This is very important. We must be careful because shayṭān is after everyone who is doing good. He is never tired; he’s never fed up. And he can be like that until end of one’s life.

For this, to be in a gathering like this or to be wherever you are in any place together with Murīds, even if once every week or every two weeks or every three weeks; you must be gathering with good people for Allāh جل جلاله to bless you, in shā’a Llāh, to keep you safe from being out of this way.

May Allāh جل جلاله save us.

Wa min Allāhi t-Tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥa.

*THE NIGHT DESTINY IS WRITTEN*
Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani
29 January 2026/ 10 Sha’ban 1447
Peckham Mosque – Peckham, UK

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.

Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

We are in Sha’bān, Mu’azzam Mukarram. In shā’a Llāh, after four days we celebrate the fifteenth of Sha’bān, the night of fifteen Sha’bān. It is a very blessed night. Especially that for each person – Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying in Qur’ān,
‎فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ
“Fīhā Yufraqu Kullu ‘Amrin Ĥakīm”,
“On that night is made distinct every precise matter.” (Qur’an 44:04).

In this night, everything that will be in the next year: what will happen, who will be born, who will die, who will become sick, ill, rich, get married, not married – all of this will be written in this night.

For this, it is very important. It is one of important nights of the Islamic religion, Islamic calendar. It is very important.

We, Mawlānā, all Mashāyikh were giving important attention to this night. It begins from Maghrib. We pray Maghrib then after prayer, we read three times Surat Yāsin; for Rizq, for a long life in Islām and health. Each time, you make an intention, and after that we make du’ā’ also. After that, at night time, one can pray Salātu t-Tasābīh after ‘Isha. After that, until Fajr prayer, you can pray a hundred rak’ah nāfilah prayer. Normally one must read a thousand ikhlās (Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad) in this prayer. But Mawlana Shaykh made it easy for us; in the first rak’ah, two ikhlās; second rak’ah, one ikhlās. Maybe some people can finish it in one hour. Some people in one and a half hour. Some people in two hours. They can pray it slowly, slowly. Now it’s not short like the summer nights. The night is long here. You can pray and stop, pray and stop. It will be good for you, attain the reward of this year, and ask Allāh جل جلاله to give you what you want.

The most important thing to ask is to be in Islām; for your family, everyone, to be in Islām, in the way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. To be away from bad habits, bad friends, bad people. To be away from them is also very important. It is more important than money, more important than gold, more important than anything: to be safe and clean. Because this dirtiness is found everywhere now. Wherever you go, you find this. So it affects you in everything: your health, your family, your friends.

In everything, you’ll be affected. For this, it is very important to ask from Allāh ‘Azza wa- Jalla protection from shayṭān and his army. Now they have a huge army. He has billions now. The shayṭān’s army are billions now. Not one, two, not one million, two million. They are in billions. If we have one billion, it is good. But it is not like this. Everybody is following shayṭān and what he is saying. They’re even saying, “We’re not following it”, but in reality, they quickly appear that they’re after shayṭān and his way.

For this, the most important du’ā’ in this night is to give us strong īmān, strong belief for us, for the family, for children, for brothers, for sisters, for everyone. It is really the best present you give them. Because Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, the most acceptable du’ā’, prayer is the one you make for your friend or brother without them knowing. To pray for them, to ask Allāh جل جلاله goodness, the best for them, to be together in Jannah. This is a big reward from Allāh جل جلاله. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam loves this also. Without them knowing, if your friend is in trouble or has any health issue or has a problem with the government, with people, with anything, ask Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla to solve this problem, to finish it. Problem brings problem; goodness brings goodness, in shā’a Llāh.

This is very important in this night. And also, to fast the day of the 15th of Sha’bān also. Every month, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was fasting three days, which are when there’s a full moon. They call it light nights because the moon lits up everywhere. Three days of every month; Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was fasting the middle of the month, the Arabic month. We are not fasting every time, but when there’s some occasion like this, we must fast and Allāh جل جلاله rewards us.

There are many ḥadīths about this night and this day: about fasting them, how Allāh جل جلاله gives barakah, gives reward without count. He جل جلاله gives with His جل جلاله generosity.
AlhamduliLlah people who are following ṭarīqah are blessed, lucky ones. Because they are catching everything, every good thing and putting it in their treasury. Who’s not following, okay.

There are many types of those not following ṭarīqah. There are normal Muslims; maybe most of them don’t pray and don’t fast. But still, they are Muslims. And there are Muslims who are praying, fasting, but don’t know about these nights or the blessed days and blessed nights. It’s just like any normal day for them. They are praying five times. And when Ramaḍān comes, they are fasting Ramaḍān. After that, nothing. They don’t have anything. These also don’t do much problems.

But the problem is with those preventing people to do good things. If they see you praying, “Why are you praying like this? You are praying too much. This is not acceptable.” Sometimes most of these idiots and ignorant ones even say, “This is shirk, this is bid’ah, this is like that, like this.” They’re preventing people. Their people, many people, unlucky people are following them and they are not making Sunnah, not making nafil, not fasting after Ramaḍān or before Ramaḍān. For them, there’s no holy anything; no night, no day, no man, no woman, no ṣaḥābah, no tabi’īn. Many of them are also saying about Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam some things that we cannot say here. It is not good to repeat what they are saying. These are unlucky people.

But AlhamduliLlah, we are lucky. From Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam until now, we are following and doing as much as we can do. We ask Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, “We can only do this.
There are many things Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam had done. We cannot do all what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam did, but our intention is to follow what he صلى الله عليه وسلم had done.” For this our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says,
‎” إنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ”
  “Innama l-‘aa’malu bin-niyyat”,
“Actions are but by intentions”. Intention is very important, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says. So with our intention alhamduliLlah, in shā’a Llāh, we all get this reward as we are following all the Sunnahs of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

Allāh جل جلاله has given other people also this luck, to be lucky, to follow this. Our doors – we are every time saying – our doors are open for everybody. Come-
‎وَٱللَّهُ يَدْعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ دَارِ ٱلسَّلَـٰمِ
“Wa-Llāhu yad‘ū ilá dāri s-salām”
“And Allah invites to the Home of Peace (i.e. Paradise).” (Qur’ān 10:25).
Allāh جل جلاله is calling people to Jannah, to the land of peace, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying. For happiness, for every good thing, Allāh  جل جلاله is calling. So Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is calling, and we are following this. We are also calling people who are away from this way: Come to Allāh جل جلاله, come to Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Come to Paradise. You will be in Paradise: in Jannah and in dunyā, in shā’a Llāh. This paradise is in your heart. Even if you were like Sayyidina ‘Ibrāhim. He was in the middle of fire and it was paradise for him. It’s the same for all of us. So we are calling people: don’t be away from this door. The door is open. Don’t be idiots not coming inside.

When Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is giving something, don’t be late, don’t be away from this. When the tap is open, fill your pots with water. Don’t wait, “I will fill it later”, because not every time will it be running. When it’s running, quickly go, ask, take. When you find the tap open, fill everywhere. Don’t be lazy. Don’t say, “Later I can take.” You can’t know if later you will be or not be, and if this tap will be or not be.

So this is also in everything, in dunyā even. We must be saying this also because people are sometimes asking about rizq. I saw this written by one of our brothers. He is goldsmith, selling gold. He put a small notice there. It said, “No credit. I cannot give loan or credit.” The second one said, “When the tap is open, fill your pot, don’t close it. Leave it open. Don’t say I will close it and later I will open it. Continue.”

Every day, I’ve been hearing since years, many people say, “My work was good. After that, I was fed up and I wanted to rest. I closed it. After that, when I tried to open, never.”

So when it is open, continue. In everything, in Rizq, in Ilim (knowledge), in life. Everything must be. When it is good, don’t say “Maybe this, maybe that. I must rest. I must not be working too much.” No, when Allāh جل جلاله opens for you, don’t close the door of His جل جلاله provision. You might regret it later. Continue.

Everything is good by continuing. The good thing is in continuity. Don’t stop, don’t wait. Mawlānā Shaykh was also saying, our way is for hard workers. Who’s tired, who stops is not from us, Mawlānā Shaykh said. Don’t tire, don’t stop, don’t be fed up. May Allāh جل جلاله give us himmah, in shā’a Llāh to be like him, in shā’a Llāh. He was, masha’Allah, until the last day, he was with himmah; not stopping. Even now, masha’Allah, he is sending his barakah to people, sending people to ṭarīqah also. By dream or by inspiration, he is still giving us AlhamduliLlah. All of this is with his barakah.

May Allāh جل جلاله bless you and bless this month, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh جل جلاله make us continue, without being fed up, in shā’a Llāh.

*Snow is a favour…*

Here in the UK we are experiencing snow alhamdullilah,
Our teacher, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad reminds us in the following sohbet that this kind of change in creation carryies a divine purpose, i.e. descent in the form of rain and snow is an *opportunity for showing gratitude to Allah* and what appears to us as hardship is in fact a mercy…Through gratitude, Mawlana is helping us to recognise the barakah that is descending on us from the heavens… insha’Allah

“Rain and snow are given to us as presents by the Power of Allah. They are a great favour. Snow is baraqah. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ said an Angel descends with every snowflake. When Allah sends favours they don’t fall all at once but come down with Angels one by one. With rain, every drop comes with an Angel and goes back but with snow it is not like this. Every Angel comes down as baraqah and stays on the earth. Therefore *snow is a big baraqah and a big favour.* insha’Allah *may we appreciate this favour and make Shukr to Allah.* People should make Shukr, they shouldn’t look at snow as trouble. It is a big favour. If you make Shukr to Allah you will see its benefit but if you don’t make Shukr for a favour you will be deprived of it. *Baraqah is for the ones who make Shukr.*

Assalamu alaikum wr wb,

*🌹Laylatul Israʾ Miʿraj, the Night of Ascension🌹*

InsyaAllah, following Mawlanaق’s calendar, *tomorrow, 15th January 2026, after Maghrib,* marks the blessed Night of Ascension, Israʾ Miʿraj.

On this night, Allah (swt) honoured His Beloved Prophet ﷺ with a journey in which he was shown the realities of creation: *the Hereafter, Paradise and Hell, the seven Heavens, al-ʿArsh, and the Divine signs of his Lord, in a manner known only to Allah Almighty.*

No other creation was granted what was granted to the Prophet ﷺ on this night. It was a pure act of Divine honour and generosity, a Divine gift bestowed upon the Sultan of all Prophets ﷺ.

For this reason, *Laylatul Israʾ Miʿraj is a night of miracles, mercy, and immense opening.*

_“The events that took place on this night, perhaps it would take thousands of years for them to happen, but they happened in only two hours of this world’s time._

*_Allah opened up time and place for our Holy Prophet ﷺ, and he saw it all and returned with ikram (gifts). And those who love our Holy Prophet ﷺ are also given from those gifts on this night.*”_

*— Mawlana Shaykh Muhammadق🌹*

Ṭarīqatunā ṣṣuḥbah wa l-khayru fi l-jam‘iyyah

‎سُبۡحٰنَ الَّذِىۡۤ اَسۡرٰى بِعَبۡدِهٖ لَيۡلًا مِّنَ الۡمَسۡجِدِ الۡحَـرَامِ اِلَى الۡمَسۡجِدِ الۡاَقۡصَا الَّذِىۡ بٰرَكۡنَا حَوۡلَهٗ لِنُرِيَهٗ مِنۡ اٰيٰتِنَا ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيۡعُ الۡبَصِيۡرُ‏
“Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al- Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.”
[Quran 17:1]

Allah ‎ﷻ orders on this Holy Night to praise Himself ﷻ and to praise the Prophet ﷺ. It is a very important night, it is an extremely [special] thing that happened for the Prophet ﷺ. To show honour of Prophethood, the whole universe received him (the Prophet ﷺ).

Allah ‎ﷻ has no place, nothing, the mind cannot comprehend this, we must not think about how Allah ‎ﷻ did this. He is the Creator.

So this night is a very blessed night, InshaAllah we ask and pray to Allah ‎ﷻ that He ‎ﷻ makes us understand the Prophet ﷺ and what he ﷺ is saying, what he ﷺ is ordering, what he ﷺ is showing people. This is to not follow their ego, people think they are something themselves, but you must follow what Prophet ﷺ showed, follow this, not think that you are something and do as you like. If you do something that the Prophet ﷺ is not happy with, it is not of benefit to you or others.

We ask Allah ‎ﷻ to keep us on His ﷻ way, the way of Prophet ﷺ, we are nothing compared to him ﷺ, we must show respect to him ﷺ, we should be aware that we are not able to do something without him ﷺ. What he ﷺ ordered, and what he ﷺ showed us, is the way.

InshaAllah Allah ‎ﷻ  keeps us on the Prophet ﷺ way, and keeps our minds strong, our belief strong, and our bodies strong.

Masha’Allah this is a blessed day, Juma, and yesterday night was a blessed day, Al-Isra’ wal-Mi’raj, the night was coming on the same day. Alhamdullilah this is double barakah, Mercy and pleasure for Mu’mins.

The pleasure of the souls is important, because the pleasure of the soul, it comes from the obeying of Allah ‎ﷻ and obeying the Prophet ﷺ. Doing good deeds, especially to pray, to fast, to make charity, this makes our soul happy. When it is a special occasion, do it more and more, because this pleasure is coming from Allah ‎ﷻ  for His ﷻ servant.

Mawlana Shaykh ق, many times he was saying,  “Allah ‎ﷻ sent this pleasure and happiness for the whole of humanity.” Today, maybe 5 billion, 7 billion people on this Earth, for everyone Allah ‎ﷻ has sent this. But, Mawlana Shaykh ق, he said “that people, nobody cares, it is not going to the brain, only to those who accept this and believe this.”

Whoever is with Allah ‎ﷻ and happy with what Allah ‎ﷻ gave, he will take this all, from this pleasure, he will take this. When Allah ‎ﷻ gives, Heﷻ is the Generous One, and once He ﷻ gives, He ﷻ does not take back.

Sometimes unhappiness happens, in all times people mostly are not happy because they are running after the wrong way. The happiness is this way and they are going the opposite way. They are running after nothing, the real thing is on the other side.

May Allah ‎ﷻ make this what we said, a pleasure for our soul, real pleasure. Everything else, it is rubbish. What we eat in the morning, you forget, some people even after 1 hour, but normally you need 5-6 hours to be hungry again. So you forget what you eat, but for the soul, for the whole life, it will remember it forever.

For this, may Allah ‎ﷻ give us more, we are thanking Allah ‎ﷻ for His ﷻ gift.

May Allah ‎ﷻ keep us on His ﷻ way, not to go out of His ﷻ Way, make us Ashab e Qadam, steadfast.

‎وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ

“For every people is a guide” [13:7]

Allah ‎ﷻ says that for each nation He ﷻ sends someone to show them the right way. Hidayah means showing the way. One of His ﷻ names, Al- Hadi, means The Guide, showing the way.

This means that Allah ‎ﷻ sent to all humanity, prophets. There was until the Prophet ﷺ in total 124,000. And all of them were not in the Middle East, everywhere you can find. Even Europe, here, America, Australia, everywhere in the world, Allah ﷻ sent His ﷻ messengers to show people who they are, what they must do and what is the purpose of their life. So nobody can say we didn’t have a prophet, everybody had  a prophet. But of course it was not like it is today, everybody can see or know.

Allah ﷻ sent to places where there was large populations and people were in need of this. There were 124,000 until the Prophet ﷺ in total. Of course the most known ones were in the Middle East area, Makkah, Madinah, Hejaz, Yemen, Palestine, Syria, Turkiye. That area of Middle East which we said, most of the known prophets, they were from there. Others, they were from other places across the whole world.

Everywhere in the world, they show this. One or two months we were in South America, there was one old place. They said they were worshipping many things but there was one who said, “This is not our Lord, our Lord is only One.” This is the message that is coming to this day so at that time he must have been a prophet, who taught them everything and they only remembered this.

So Alhamdulillah we are on the way of the Seal of the Prophets, which Prophet ﷺ said, ‘I am the Seal of all Prophets, there is no other messenger after me.’ I am finishing this message, prophecy finishes with me, this is what Prophet ﷺ said in a Hadith.

Alhamdulillah, now the whole world knows about about the Prophet ﷺ and about Islam. May Allah ﷻ give them hidayah, to those that are coming, and to those that are not, they are  going away from this Mercy of Allah ‎ﷻ.

May Allah ‎ﷻ keep us on this path and give hidayah to others.

‎وَخُلِقَ الْإِنسَانُ ضَعِيفًا
‘And man was created weak’
[4:28]

Allah ‎ﷻ says in the Holy Qur’an ‘We created human being weak’ Everybody is the weakest creature, Allah ‎ﷻ created us, the human being as the weakest because others, the smallest thing you see, an ant, it can carry three times its own weight.

Other animals also, they are very strong, stronger than human beings, even the weakest one Allah ‎ﷻ has given them special things, human beings cannot do it. So the weakest creature is the human being.

But when you see that Allah ‎ﷻ has given them a mind, to control another creature, Allah ‎ﷻ has made them for the human being. But human beings, they thought that when they get something, they thought they are the most powerful. They are forgetting what they are, their weakness and they become like tyrants for other people, for themselves, for family or for anyone. Anyone who is weaker than themselves, they are proud that they are better than them. This is not good.

Allah ‎ﷻ, you must be strong with Allah ‎ﷻ because what Allah ‎ﷻ has given you, you must appreciate and be thankful to Him ‎ﷻ.

Sayyiduna Umar said, “The weakest ones who get oppressed are the strongest ones in front of me. And the strongest ones who oppress, they are the weakest ones in front of me.”

Justice and Haq, they are the most important thing in Islam. Now today, they are saying justice, but there is no justice. Without justice, there is no peace, no good things. Whoever is with justice, this is the most strong thing for human beings, who is with justice, and with Haq, he is the strongest one. If he leaves this, he is the weakest one. He is not even in control, for a human being, then, there is no value for him because afterwards, as life is coming, he cannot do anything.

May Allah ‎ﷻ keep us in His ‎ﷻ way, to know our place, our situation, InshaAllah. We are strong with Allah ‎ﷻ. This is most important, may Allah ‎ﷻ keep us in this way at all times, inshaAllah.

*SHA’BĀN IS OUR PROPHET’S صلى الله عليه وسلم MONTH*
Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani
19 January 2026/ 30 Rajab 1447
Fajr Prayer – Noor ul Islam Mosque; Bury, UK

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.

Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

AlhamduliLlah today is the last day of Rajab; the first of Ash’huru l-Harām, (the sacred months). Tomorrow is the first in ours. In some calendars, tomorrow is the first of Sha’bān, some of them maybe later. But alhamduliLlah in these 30 days of Rajab, Allāh جل جلاله blessed us. We are happy with Allāh جل جلاله, in what He جل جلاله gave us, to be in His جل جلاله way. If this life, months, years are passing and you are with Allāh جل جلاله, you win, you gain these months, this life.

AlhamduliLlah this is a blessed month going, and a blessed month is coming: month of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam,
“رجب شهر الله، وشعبان شهري، ورمضان شهر أمتي”
“Rajab ShahruLlah, Sha’bān Shahri, Ramaḍān Shahru Ummati,” says Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Rajab is the month of Allāh جل جلاله. Of course, everything is for Allāh جل جلاله, but Allāh جل جلاله made this more blessed for the Ummah. And for the honor of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam: Shahru Sha’bān. Sha’bān is the month of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And Ramaḍān is for the Ummah. This is the most blessed. Allāh جل جلاله made this month for the Ummah. Many things happen in it.

But now we are, in shā’a Llāh, in Sha’bān in which Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam gave more intention for worshiping. Some new people say there is no value for such months. No, they do not know. In this month, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was fasting the most in Sha’bān that the ṣaḥābah thought it will become Fard. He صلى الله عليه وسلم was fasting nearly the whole month. And in Ramaḍān also, he صلى الله عليه وسلم was very happy with Ramaḍān. All this, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was showing us.

AlhamduliLlah ṭarīqah people respect everything, not asking what is and what is not. AlhamduliLlah in our ṭarīqah, naqshbandī especially, we try in our wird, our daily wazifah, we try to make every Sunnah. Nothing out of the Sunnah of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

May Allāh جل جلاله make us to be in his صلى الله عليه وسلم way, to make us praise what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam praised. Even if praising any little thing, it’s okay, but not to be against it. If you go against it, nothing will be less for Allāh جل جلاله, but it will be less for you. They give you jewels and you don’t want, “I don’t want this” you say. You are free. May Allāh جل جلاله make us know the value, what’s precious. We must know this.

AlhamduliLlah, may Allāh جل جلاله let us know the value of this all the time, in shā’a Llāh.

Shaykh Mehmet Adil Al-Haqqani,
Sohbet of the 19th January 2026, Rotherham, UK.

Ṭarīqatunā ṣ-ṣuḥbah wa l-khayru fī l-jam‘iyyah

‎إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌۭ فَأَصْلِحُوا۟ بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ ۚ

“The believers are but one brotherhood, so make peace between your brothers.” – Surah Al Ḥujurāt.

Allāh ﷻ describes mu’min, believers, as brothers. Many Hadith also say, Prophet ﷺ said“Imaan is not complete until a believer loves for his brother that which he loves for himself.

This is very important, it is of very good benefit for Muslims, for all human beings. Because when it comes to your brother or your brother for Islam, and when you want something for him like you do for yourself. And then he also wants something good for you, so good things are then spreading, goodness is spreading, barakah is spreading.

This is what the Prophet ﷺ explained. And Allāh ﷻ in Quran is saying, that Muslims, they are brothers.

So in the Prophet’s ﷺ time, we call it ‘Lahadhat Sa’ida,’ time of happiness. What is happiness? They didn’t even have something to eat, sometimes going hungry for 2 or 3 days, not finding anything to eat, but all the people knew this was the happiest of times for all of humanity, throughout history. The happiest time was the time of Prophet ﷺ.

Of course it was 23 years, these years were the most happiest ones, soon after the people who were there, some of them became enemies, some fell into fitna, slowly, slowly they are getting worse and worse. For this the Prophet ﷺ in Hadith also said, “My time is the best time, then next after me will be time of the Khulafa e Rashideen, 4 Khalifas, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar, Sayyiduna Uthman and Sayyiduna Ali.

This time also and then after one century, the second century also good. After this people will move further away from the way of Prophet ﷺ, they are not loving each other. There are many things coming between them. Some of them are right and some are not right. But this time is not so happy,  like it was in Prophet ﷺ time.

Years by years, century by century, the Prophet ﷺ  is saying, will be worse than another. And we are in the worst century but Alhamdulillah Allāh ﷻ has created us in this time. But there is still the same order from Prophet ﷺ, this order is not finished.

Believers are brothers, a believer must love his brother, Muslims, his community, and not to make any fitna between, not make enemies of each other. As much as you be happy with your Muslim brother, Prophet ﷺ, he will be happy with you, Awliya Allāh will be happy with you and Allāh ﷻ is happy with you, when you are happy with your brothers. Shaytaan will not be not happy.

Shaytaan is happy when Muslim brothers are fighting one another, then he will be happy but happiness of Shaytaan is not happiness for us. He is envious and full of bad. He will never be happy. As long as we are suffering he will be okay and seem happy but Allāh ﷻ will not give him true happiness, Allāh ﷻ only gives true happiness to the believers, to mu’mins.

There are many people who make fitna, they make difficulties for Muslims, you will see them all the time in misery, full of bad talk, their hearts are full of darkness, full of satanic thought. They cannot be happy, even if they finish the whole world, they will still not be happy. But with believers if anything comes from Allāh ﷻ they are happy, full of happiness.

When they are with family and those who love them they will be happy. For example, when they are going for Hajj or Umrah, happiness is coming but if they go to a casino or to any bad place they will never be happy, when you come out of bad place you feel more misery, not better, and feel worse and worse.

But Alhamdulillah Tariqah is helping people to be happy. Some people, they are claiming they are Muslim but they are doing something to make other Muslims not happy with them. From the beginning, to teaching themselves or teach their children, they are teaching them to be not happy, to swear at good people and to swear at the Prophet’s ﷺ Companions, and they’re crying, crying and crying, and this is not our way so we are laughing because Allāh ﷻ order us “Fa bidhalika Falyafrahu” (Surah Yunus), you must be happy says Allāh ﷻ, when you are on way of Allāh ﷻ and you are Muslim. This is an order, you must be happy and not to cry, beating yourself up. You say we are Muslim, loving this but are making fitna everywhere!

People of Tariqah are opening hearts. Shaykh Ahmed Yasawi ق, the sultan of Turkistan. His mazaar sharif (shrine) is in Kazakhstan, we visited him. He had 100,000 murids, followers, and he taught them and sent them everywhere to non Muslim countries and they were going around, not fighting but just teaching people. An after this when the army of Islam came, these people were happy to receive them, because they taught them happiness and good things like justice and all good things, things that they didn’t have. These people were going round and teaching them, 100,000 dervish and ulema.

Dervishes meaning people who knew how to pray, what is sunnah and what is fardh and knowing Tariqah also. And they were opening hearts, like opening castles and forts. For this, Tariqah loves giving love to people, giving happiness to people and for humanity.

Now we see, also many non Muslim, they are coming through Tariqah to Islam. They are familiar with Sufism but when they hear “Islam” then they are running away because they think Islam is people killing people and making people miserable and no mercy… nothing good for them.

But still you mention Sufism, they are coming for examples, like in Konya, Mawlana Rumi ق. They, the non Muslims are fond of him, they don’t know if he’s Muslim or not but they know he is a master in Sufism. Hundreds of thousands are following him and his books are top sellers. People must know this and appreciate this. This is what Prophet ﷺ said, Sufis and people of Tariqah, people are doing this.

Thousands and maybe millions of people are coming to Islam, and another thing is when people act against of teachings of Prophet ﷺ, it makes many people run away from Islam. They are saying we are not wanting this and this is not good. But they do not know the real Islam, real Islam is brotherhood and to love each other and to not oppress anybody and to not force anybody into Islam.

Islam comes via the heart, Prophet ﷺ never forced anyone to be Muslim and in the Holy Qur’an in Surah Tawbah, when anybody wants to come to Kaaba, then he must be Muslim, but if not Muslim they cannot come. But you don’t fight them to make them be Muslim. If they don’t want to be Muslim, they can be any religion.

In Surah Tawbah, all had to obey the governor or sultan and give tax but it was not so much. Now tax in Europe is now maybe 90 percent or 80 percent. For jizya, like Zakat is 2.5 percent, in comparison it is nothing. And also VAT you pay 20 percent or 30 percent. This plus the tax you pay so when you do something you are giving all the benefits to government and they are still making Islam out to be bad. No, Islam is Alhamdullilah the best. Because it is the religion of Allāh ﷻ everything is balanced, nothing is hard, nothing is difficult, everything is good. Even Prophet ﷺ said regarding miswaak, “if it wasn’t for making it difficult for the Ummah, then I would have ordered for the miswaak to be used before every prayer.”

Miswaak has hundreds of benefits, it is not only fulfilling Sunnah but also for your health, for your teeth and for everything, there are countless benefits. Even for this, the Prophet ﷺ, to not make it difficult, did not order this.

But everything in Islam is in balance, and this balance…where do you find it? You can find it in Tariqah Alhamdulillah. Our Tariqah and Shariah are the same. Heart of Shariah is Tariqah. Maybe some people say why do we want Tariqah? You don’t want to, you can follow Shariah but somebody can come and take you away from Shariah. Cheating you and making you swear even at Ahlul Bayt or Sahaba.

If you are out of Tariqah, or if you are neither here nor there, just in the middle, then quickly most of them can be affected by certain people and they are made to do haram and swear at such blessed people (Ahlul Bayt or Sahaba).

So even for this, people must follow Tariqah or listen to people in Tariqah, this is very important for our life, for our children’s lives. It is very important to teach them love for Prophet ﷺ, love for Sahaba and love for Ahlul Bayt. Alhamdulillah.

We are now in this month, the month of the Prophet ﷺ. In our calendar it begins tonight but maybe in some calendars it’s tomorrow but it’s okay. Important is to respect and accept this month, the Prophet’s ﷺ month. And he gave value to this month. And from the Seerah, we know that the month in which he fasted the most after the month of Ramadhan was the month of Sha’ban, the honoured, the great.

We must respect Prophet ﷺ, respect for what he was doing, we respect his month, days, blessed nights. All this from the Prophet ﷺ are teachings. And when you follow teachings of Prophet ﷺ, Allāh ﷻ rewards you from 10–700 times more.

Alhamdulillah this is a blessed day and blessed place. This is the first time we are here, Allāh ﷻ bless you all. Allāh ﷻ keep us all in His way and not get cheated by Shaytaan and the  followers of Shaytaan. Allāh ﷻ make us happy, we are not crying and not make fitna about something happened before us and Allāh ﷻ will ask what happened, and then there is no reward for swearing at good people, or saying bad things about them; because this makes your heart more dark and more unhappy. Fitna is coming on you.

May Allāh ﷻ keep us away from this, may Allāh ﷻ bless them and Allāh ﷻ give us from their barakah,  we ask for sa‘ādah, like the time of happiness of Prophet ﷺ. We are living in bad times but may Allāh ﷻ put in our hearts, from this happiness Inshā’Allāh. This time is not good but Allāh ﷻ is able to do everything and we believe it can be easy to be happy in our heart and have happiness in our hearts, Inshā’Allāh.

Wa min Allāh ﷻ at-Tawfiq.

*NEIGHBORS TO EYÜP SULTAN*

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
‎قُلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ مَـٰلِكَ ٱلْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِى ٱلْمُلْكَ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتَنزِعُ ٱلْمُلْكَ مِمَّن تَشَآءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَآءُ ۖ بِيَدِكَ ٱلْخَيْرُ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
(Qur’ān 03:26).
Quli Allāhumma Mālika Al-Mulki Tu’utī Al-Mulka Man Tashā’u Wa Tanzi`u Al-Mulka MimmanTashā’u Wa Tu`izzu Man Tashā’u Wa Tudhillu Man Tashā’u ◌ۖBiyadikaAl-Khayru◌ۖ ‘Innaka`AláKulliShay’inQadīrun”

Say,”O Allah,Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.”Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, the dominion belongs to Him جل جلاله. Everything is His .جل جلاله.He جل جلاله raises whom He جل جلاله wills and lowers whom He جل جلاله wills, says Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Why are we saying this?

Shukr to Allāh جل جلاله years ago, with the intention of being neighbors of Eyüp Sultan, as Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim said, we moved into several places to be there, to be neighbors and serve there. Ten years ago, there were some people who wanted to do conduct a deal. In return for that deal, we were supposed to receive a finished building. The agreement was that they take the job without having to pay anything out of their own pockets. We were supposed to move into a finished building. But with them stalling saying “today, tomorrow” they didn’t do it. When they didn’t do it, we did it elsewhere. Finally, shukr to Allāh جل جلاله, we now have this land and building from yesterday. It’s  progressing step by step, shukr to Allāh جل جلاله

Why am I saying this? So, if the property belonged to those people – it means Allāh جل جلاله must have not destined it for them. At first, we were angry and upset about that. They didn’t keep their promises. We went back and forth. They kept stalling, “We could do it, we couldn’t do it.” So years passed.

Yesterday, shukr to Allāh جل جلاله, the building was almost finished, Masha’Allah. We said, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla did not want this goodness for them. He جل جلاله did not want it. It means that property does not belong to them. Property belongs to Allāh جل جلاله. Through the small contributions of the brothers, murīds, the lovers, shukr to Allāh جل جلاله, this service will be completed and finished without needing them, in shā’a Llāh. That service will remain until the Day of Judgment, with Allāh’s جل جلاله permission. It is a waqf (endowment). It has been endowed for the sake of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla until the Day of Judgment. The one who makes the waqf wins, he becomes Azīz (honored). And the one who doesn’t, that is, the one who makes a promise and doesn’t keep it, becomes Dhalīl (worthless). No matter how much he does, even if he owns the whole world, he is Dhalīl. Dhalīl means worthless, has no significance.

Therefore, one shouldn’t be angry. It is Allāh’s جل جلاله will. Whoever He جل جلاله wills becomes honored, close to Allāh جل جلاله, and in a high rank. Azīz means having a high rank, dignified, honorable and exalted. Dhalīl means lowness, insignificance, being worthless.

Therefore, there’s no need to be angry or annoyed about it. Everything should be left to Allāh’s  جل جلاله. May Allāh جل جلاله make us among the honored (Azīz), among those who keep their promises. May He جل جلاله make us true owners of dominion. This dominion is the dominion of the Hereafter, not worldly dominion. Waqf that is for the pleasure of Allāh جل جلاله  is His جل جلاله dominion. What matters is who He جل جلاله grants His جل جلاله dominion to.

May He جل جلاله grant us from His جل جلاله dominion that brings us honor, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh جل جلاله be pleased with us. May Allāh جل جلاله grant us all the opportunity to establish many more such endowments and charitable works, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh جل جلاله be pleased with us.  May Allāh جل جلاله make us all among His جل جلاله accepted servants. May He جل جلاله make us among those who give without fear, in shā’a Llāh.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim 🌹

Dear Camp Family,
We are excited to finally announce the winter camp dates for this year! We look forward to a beautiful time spent in good companionship as we aim to strengthen our īmān and deepen our love for our beloved Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ throughout that week together. ✨

How does Sheikh Nazim use the dry leaf image in his talks

Sheikh Nazim uses the “dry leaf” image to teach complete surrender of the seeker to Allah’s will through the guidance of the Prophet and the spiritual master.

## Image of surrender

He describes the ideal murid as “a dry leaf in the wind,” moved entirely by the “wind” of divine inspiration coming through the guide, with no inner resistance or objection.  Even if that leaf is blown into fire, it does not complain, symbolizing a heart that accepts every divine decree while saying inwardly, “My Lord is right, I am wrong.”

## Inner and outer obedience

In his talks he explains that this surrender must be both inward and outward: not only outward obedience in actions, but also the absence of hidden complaints, spiritual objections, or ego-based criticism toward Allah, the Prophet, or the shaykh.  He presents this state as the peak of good manners on the path and as a condition for rapid spiritual progress, contrasting it with the scattered state of those who still follow their ego.

A

“Then whoever wills, let him believe, and whoever wills, let him disbelieve.” (18:29) Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, says: “Whoever wishes, let him believe, and whoever wishes, let him remain in disbelief.” This is a matter of the heart. One cannot force anyone to become a Muslim. Even during the conquests, no one was forced to change their religion; no coercion was applied. Whoever wanted to become a Muslim did so. Whoever did not, remained in their faith, paid the tax, and was treated like a citizen. Why do we mention this? These days, the Pope, the head of the Catholic world, is here on a visit. The background of his visit is connected to the alteration of the religion by the priests who gathered in Nicaea 1700 years ago. For the pagan Romans called the followers of Jesus “Nasrani”. They persecuted and killed them, giving them no peace anywhere. Finally, they mixed paganism with Christianity as they saw fit. 1700 years ago, that is, 325 years after Jesus, they said, “We are now Christians too,” and came to an agreement. But they falsified the religion—Allah forbid—by claiming: “There cannot be only a single God; He must have a family, He must have a child.” When the true followers of the Scripture who followed Jesus rejected this, they were all rounded up to be silenced. At the gathering in Nicaea, it was stated: “These are the true Christians; we do not accept others.” They tolerated no one outside of their doctrine and eliminated them. Whoever could flee, fled; whoever remained either had to accept the new religion or was killed. That is the crux of the matter. That is the event that took place 1700 years ago. There were many groups that stood outside the state religion they proclaimed. One of them was the group called the “Nestorians.” Salman al-Farisi also followed this path before Islam. The monks passed on the true religion; when one died, he referred [the follower] to the next. Finally, they sent him to Medina with the words: “The Prophet (peace be upon him) will appear there.” And so he found our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Medina. He came from this group, from this chain. That means most of them professed the Oneness of Allah and worshipped Him. Then, when this Roman group appeared, they composed fake Gospels and forced the entire Christian world off the right path into polytheism through coercion and killings. This is exactly what happened. But insha’Allah, this meeting will be an occasion for people to recognize the true path. Our people are afraid and ask: “Is black magic being practiced? Will something happen?” No, there is no reason to worry. This is the home of the saints, the martyrs, and the Companions of the Prophet. Therefore, no one, no matter who comes, can achieve anything; nothing will happen. One must show hospitality to the guest. Let us treat them well. Perhaps Allah will place the light of faith in their hearts so that they recognize the truth, insha’Allah. The penultimate Pope suddenly met with Sheikh Baba and resigned from the papacy shortly thereafter. This is something that has never happened before in history. We asked Sheikh Efendi: “Why did he do that?” Sheikh Baba said: “He saw the truth.” When he saw the truth, he stopped. They gave the people a pretext; they said: “He does not want to continue for health reasons.” Actually, no Pope is replaced before he dies. There was no one who had resigned before. Even if he was ill, he remained in office until death. If Allah wills, this visit will be an occasion for the guidance of the people. And even if not: Many priests and monks in his circle have recognized the truth and have secretly become Muslims, even if they continue their duties. There are thousands, hundreds of thousands of them, and there always have been. Therefore, there is no reason for fear or worry. “And say, ‘The truth has come, and falsehood has vanished.'” (17:81) “The truth has come, the false has passed away.” When the truth comes, the false no longer has value or standing. Therefore, our people need not be afraid: “What will happen? What is going on?” Do not be afraid. Allah is with us; the truth is Allah, the Mighty and Exalted. The truth will reveal itself. Even if not now: Just as the Pope has come, Jesus will also come. With Allah’s permission, he will eliminate all this falsehood. May Allah turn it to good. Insha’Allah, may it be an occasion for guidance. We have many brothers who have returned from the wrong path to the true religion; thanks be to Allah, they are the majority. Insha’Allah, may Allah grant the Muslims vigilance through this occasion, so that they hold fast to the truth.

*HISTORY OF ISLĀM IN SOUTH AMERICA*
Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani
03 November 2025/ 12 Jumada al-Awwal 1447 Santiago, Chile

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

AlhamduliLlah we are thanking Allāh جل جلاله for meeting these people who live very far from our country. Our way is the way of light, way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam. All prophets were traveling to go through people telling them about reality, to take them to heaven. Our meeting is only for the sake of Allāh جل جلاله. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla likes these meetings and blesses them.

There are many ḥadīths of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, and many sayings of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla about such a gathering, such a meeting with the intention being only for the pleasure of Allāh جل جلاله.

Our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says in ḥadīth, Allāh جل جلاله will order His جل جلاله angels to put their wings under the feet of these people gathering for Him جل جلاله. He جل جلاله sends them His جل جلاله mercy. And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was saying, when two Muslim brothers come to meet each other for the sake of Allāh جل جلاله, Allāh جل جلاله rewards them. For each step, Allāh جل جلاله forgives them, rewards them and raises them one level higher.

AlhamduliLlah we are also coming from a far place, in shā’a Llāh this will be a reward for all of us. This is a real win. We are real winners. Because this will be saved in the Divine Presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and we will find this in the next life. Like when they win [money] and put it in the bank; in many places, in our country and other countries. They save their money in banks. And many times, the banks don’t give them back. But in the Divine Presence of Allāh جل جلاله, it is saved for you; not only for a short time but forever. This is from His جل جلاله generosity for human beings.

Allāh جل جلاله is the Creator. Everything is in His جل جلاله Hand. Everything is for Him جل جلاله. The universe and all is for Him  جل جلاله  He جل جلاله is not in need of our worshipping or what we are doing. He جل جلا is happy for  you if you do this. He جل جلاله is happy you will win. People don’t like others to win. Even if they have millions, they are not happy to give anything. Even if their wealth is enough for them for a thousand years, they are also not giving. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is giving with out counting,
بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
“Bighayri Ĥisāb”
“Will be given their reward without account.”(Qur’ān 39:10).

If you do some good deed, Allāh جل جلاله rewards you ten times for it until seven hundred times; after this, only He جل جلاله knows how He جل جلاله rewards you. This is for the lucky people. Many people know the reality, know this good way and are not following it. For this, Allāh  جل جلاله is happy with people like you who are gathering for His جل جلاله love, for the sake of Allāh  جل جلاله

People have been living in this continent, this area for thousands of years, of course. They are saying it’s a new continent. No, all this has been since ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salām. ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salām is the father of humankind. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla made all mankind to come through ‘Adam ‘alayhi s-salām. And by His جل جلاله wisdom, Allāh جل جلاله has written down what everyone will eat, when they will eat, where they will eat, where they will die. Allāh جل جلاله has already determined this for everybody. So these people are not unknown for Allāh جل جلاله. Allāh جل جلاله created them. Five thousand years, ten thousand years, Allāh جل جلاله knows when these people reached this place on earth.

So, AlhamduliLlah we visited many places in this continent. In the end, we know,
َAllāhَ ‘Azza wa-Jalla mentioned in the Qur’ān, Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm
‎وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ
(Quran 13:07 )
“Wa li-Kulli Qawmin Haad”
“And for every people is a guide.”
For each nation, there’s one who will guide them to the truth. So in every place people gathered, Allāh جل جلاله sent a prophet. Here also, there was a prophet in this area. Everywhere, there was a prophet. But of course, people were quickly changing. Maybe after being five years with them, they changed.

Changing slowly, slowly. After that, they thought there was no prophet in this area. In every place in this world, there was a prophet. Of course, these prophets were before ‘Isa ‘alayhi s-salām. Thousands of years passed and people changed. But they are still a little bit respectful. Or there’s something they must follow so they go on worshipping something that’s not useful for them. After this, they were living like this for many years. I don’t know what they were doing. But in the end, they said they found a new place. So they came and settled here. So that Allāh  جل جلاله completes the time of human beings, He جل جلاله slowly, slowly made them go around the whole world.

As we said before, Allāh جل جلاله made them come here. They made goodness – of course, not too good; they made bad and worse more than good. But they came here because their rizq was here so they must eat it in this country. But unfortunately, these people were oppressors not letting anybody think about Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla or religion or anything else. And of course, they changed the religion into another religion which normally must be good but with their ideas they only used it to oppress people. For this, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla – SubhanAllah who came to this continent were trying to live as Muslims, as Allāh جل جلاله ordered, but they didn’t give a chance to these people. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave them everything. All these countries masha’Allah, thousands of miles, we went by plane, by car, by walking. It was amazing; very rich. Allāh جل جلاله gave them everything.

SubhanAllah every time we hear that there are problems here. People are not happy. People are making problems not like other countries; that it’s not safe. There is a wisdom here. What’s the wisdom? Because there was oppression and many bad things done to human beings. For this, this is coming as inheritance to people. What the ancestors had done is coming through centuries until now. For this, you can find millions coming from Muslim countries to this continent but not any sign of Islām; maybe only since 24 or 30 years ago.

What is the solution for this? The solution is to repent and ask forgiveness from Allāh جل جلالهand to come to Islām.“أسِلمتَ ْسلَم”
“Aslim Taslam.”Be Muslim and you will see be safe. Surrender and you will be safe. Islām is the religion of peace. It doesn’t accept any oppression. The first thing is justice. It is very important in Islām. All these people say “Democracy” and other things; every time they bring something new but they have no justice. Not any country in this world has justice. Whoever says “There is justice in this country or that country” are liars. It looks like justice but they are hypocrites. There is a saying,
‎“العَ ْد ُل أسا ُس ال ُم ْلك”
Justice is the base of ruling, of a good life. And those who look at the history since Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam until the last Ottoman Sultān, you can’t find any injustice. In these countries, there were not only Muslims but Jewish, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus living there. There were 70 different religions.

But of course, who’s the first enemy of human beings? Shayṭān. Shayṭān doesn’t like giving good things to human beings. They destroyed the last Islamic Rule, the Ottomans. The shayṭān destroyed it. And after this began the worst century, the 20th century. A hundred years now, all the world is suffering. They promised them, “We will give you this, we will give you that,” but what have they done? They didn’t give but they took everything.

In history [as we see], nobody rules forever. Allāh جل جلاله promised us, He جل جلاله will send one from the lineage of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, one of his صلى الله عليه وسلم grandsons who will save, in shā’a Llāh. In shā’a Llāh, we are waiting for him because the world is everyday becoming worse and worse.

In shā’a Llāh when Sayyidina Al-Mahdi ‘alayhi s- salām comes, all of this that they’re making now from bad situations for each and every thing and having no solution, all these problems will be finished. There will be justice. It will be barakah for the whole world. Nobody will oppress anybody. There are many secrets and many things that people don’t know.

You see what happened before “What is this? What is that?” People are wondering. So, everything will be clear. What happened since Sayyidina Adam ‘alayhi s-salām until now. Who was living on this earth, who was living there, this mountain, this sea: all what was unknown will appear. What we know about the history of human beings is maybe not even five percent. That time, everything will be known and who reach that time – in shā’a Llāh it’s near – it is easy for him to understand and know what happened.

That time is a very blessed time. After all these bad things, it will be a very good time. But of course, this is only for forty years. After forty years, that time Sayyidina Al- Mahdi is coming and Sayyidina ‘Isa ‘alayhi s-salām will be with him. Sayyidina Al-Mahdi will rule for seven years and Sayyidina Isa will rule for forty years.

Many people are cheated about Sayyidina ‘Isa. Sayyidina ‘Isa is a miracle of Allāh جل جلاله. He is a miracle. Allāh جل جلاله made Sayyidatina Mariam ‘alayha s-salām pregnant without marriage, without being touched by a man. What they said “He is the son of god” is ridiculous. How can that be? Ḥāshā (far from it), it is an example – but it is as if they are saying an ant married an elephant. How can this be! How can you say Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has a son! Nobody can imagine how Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is, where He جل جلاله is, what He جل جلاله is! This is impossible for our mind to know about.

Sayyidina ‘Isa will come in that time. He is now in the second heaven. They couldn’t kill him. Allāh جل جلاله saved him and he is waiting for the time to come again. That time, he will be, in shā’a Llāh, with Sayyidina Al-Mahdi and he will rule. He will break the cross. He will not accept giving people pork to eat. He will rule upon the Sharī’ah of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. And after forty years, he will pass away. His place is near Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, in Madina.

It is known that Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says about the prophets brothers, and he صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “My صلى الله عليه وسلم brother ‘Isa ‘alayhi s-salām.” So after forty years, when ‘Isa ‘alayhi s-salām passes away, it is the big sign of Qiyāmah. So Qiyāmah becomes near and people again leave religion, leave goodness and again follow their egos. This is the nature of people, because they have shayṭān, they have ego. When they find something, they quickly follow it. That time it’s finished.

So, there must be something like this. Allāh جل جلاله sends a smoke. And when believers smell this smoke, they pass away and only non-believers will be there. Then, Allāh جل جلاله will send to finish all these people and this will be the end of life. So nobody will be alive that time. All will be waiting for Qiyāmah. Qiyāmah will, in shā’a Llāh, come later and everybody will take what he had done in this life. And what we were telling in the beginning of the Sohbah: what you get from rewards and what Allāh جل جلاله gave you, that time it will be for you.

In shā’a Llāh, also with the barakah of sincere people, Allāh جل جلاله makes people come to the way of Allāh جل جلاله, way of mercy.

*THOSE STRIVING TO BE A MEANS FOR GUIDANCE*
Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani
07 November 2025/ 16 Jumada al-Awwal 1447
Fajr Prayer – Akbaba Dergah, Istanbul

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we went and returned safely. It was a long journey, but Allāh ﷻ helped us. in shā’a Llāh, it happened for the sake of Allāh ﷻ; may Allāh ﷻ accept it.

Of course, because it was a long journey—we had made this journey before—we wondered if it would happen a second time, and Allāh ﷻ made it happen. We went. Masha’Allah, when Allāh ﷻ guides the people there, they are granted it. And with the barakah and himmah (support) of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim, thousands of people there have embraced Islām, joined ṭarīqah, and are striving with their own capabilities to spread this religion, to spread Islām, and to benefit the people there. May Allāh ﷻ be pleased with them; they treated us with hospitality and respect.

They also reached out with their whomever relatives they have to meet us so that they too could embrace Islām. They helped them, and asked for du’ā’ so that they could be the means for their guidance. When a believer, Muslim experiences something good, he wishes the same for others. What they wish for is –
“الأَقْرَبونَ أَوْلى بالمَعْروفِ”
“The closest are worthier of goodness,” says our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. If you are going to do something good, you should do it to your relatives first. Therefore, they also constantly called upon their relatives, friends, and so on, to convey the message to them and show them. And many of them came, shukr to Allāh ﷻ. In shā’a Llāh, it will be a means for guidance.

Because it’s such a far place, many Muslims have gone there before, in the past. But of course, their biggest challenge was that they went there as Muslims but there were no Jamā’ah (community), no ṭarīqah, nothing. Unfortunately, they were lost. But in shā’a Llāh, now there is ṭarīqah—that’s why ṭarīqah is what shayṭān dislikes most: ṭarīqah, haqīqah. Shayṭān detests them. He doesn’t like sharī’ah either. He doesn’t like sharī’ah or madhhabs. He doesn’t like the mashāyikh. He doesn’t like the Ahlu l-Bayt. When people don’t love them too, they’ll have no branch to cling to; they wither away.

With Allāh’s ﷻ permission, many people will reach guidance through them, in shā’a Llāh. Because with ṭarīqah: Ṭarīqah means īmān. Islām: everyone is Muslim; there are many Muslims. As we said, many Muslims went there and became lost.
Their grandfathers were Muslim, their sons were Muslim, they prayed, but their grandchildren are now people who have no relation to Islām. They either have no knowledge of religion or have become like Christians.

In shā’a Llāh, this time – Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām will come anyways. But until then, may Allāh ﷻ guide them and make them happy. May those people, their friends, and their relatives embrace Islām. In shā’a Llāh, may they join ṭarīqah. At first, those there were unaware of the ṭarīqah, of Islām. They joined ṭarīqah, as Sufism. Then, they attained guidance and recited the Shahada. They perform the five daily prayers and all other acts of worship, setting an example for those there.

May Allāh ﷻ be pleased with them; they have honored us. We have been together for twenty-five days. May Allāh ﷻ honor them. May Allāh ﷻ make them happy, and us too, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Quran Khatm, ayāt, surahs, Yasin, Salawat, tahlilat, and also recited Dala’il al-Khayrat, takbirs, tahlilats.

May Allāh ﷻ accept all the good deeds and charity done. First of all, for the holy soul of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, his family and companions, all the prophets, awliya, asfiya, Mashāyikh, for the souls of all our ancestors.

Especially for the soul of our Shaykh, Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim. For the souls of our mothers, fathers, relatives, Muslims, and believers. For goodness to come and evil to be warded off.

May the good wishes of those who read it come true. For happiness here and hereafter.

Li-Llah Ta’ala, Al-Fatiha.

*OPEN YOUR EYES TO ATTAIN HAPPINESS*

Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani 

17 October 2025/ 25 Rabih Al-Akhir 1447 Buenos Aires Dergah, Argentina

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

We are thanking Allāh ﷻ again, every minute, every second for His ﷻ favor to be with believers, mu’min, mu’mināt, in shā’a Llāh. We are in this day of Jum’ah, a special day for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and his ﷺ nation. Because Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave the best thing for Prophet ﷺ, so the best day of the week, Friday. Everything happened on this day: ‘Adam alayhi s-salām was created on this day and also Qiyamah will be on this day. There is also one hour in this day, if you ask for du’ā’ and pray, if it coincides with this hour, Allāh ﷻ accepts it and gives you what ask. There are many favors of this day. Making salawāt, prayers and gives charity on this day is more acceptable and more rewarded.

And, of course, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla has appointed a time for Jum’ah prayer. Jum’ah prayer must be, of course, with Jama’ah (congregation). The believer, mu’min, Muslim must perform this prayer. Of course, there is some condition for Shafi’i: they must be 40 people. For Hanafi: 3 people with one imām. Three jama’ah and one imām will be enough. Whoever can find this, he must pray it. If he cannot, there is an excuse for him. He prays Fard of Dhuhr. So if he has this condition, if he couldn’t find the Jama’ah to pray Jumu’ah, he must pray Dhuhr. In this country, it is difficult. But in Muslim country, he must go. If he has an excuse of illness or can’t go physically it happens. But if he is there and not going, it will be not good for him. In Jum’ah also, there is praying Jum’ah, Khutbah (sermon) and two rak’āt with imām. This becomes like praying Dhuhr. And during Khutbah people must be listening to the imām, not to speaking to each other also. Allāh ﷻ will be happy with you. And when Allāh ﷻ is happy with you, everything becomes easy.

Everything you do from worshipping, from charity, from good things is for you. This only is what you will take with you. There were people asking one big ‘awliyā’, a famous ‘awliyā’ in India, Mu’in al-Din Chishti, raḥmatu Llāhi ʿalayh (Allāh ﷻ have mercy upon him), ‘a’la Allāhu darajātuh (Allāh ﷻ raise his rank). He brought millions of people to Islām. So, a person asked him, “What is success?” He answered, “Success is to win the akhirah, the next life.” Not to be president, doctor, lawyer, a millionaire, an actress; that everybody knows you, everybody wishes to be like you. If you do not win your next life, it is not success. Success in these material things is only for this life, not forever. Even in life, even not going on for the end of life. Many people lose their success. And very few of them may succeed for the end of their lives.

For this, we, ṭarīqah and Awliyā’u Llāh are encouraging people to get as much as they can reward from Allāh ﷻ, the happiness of Allāh ﷻ. For this, we were saying about Jum’ah prayer and we explained how important it is. Why it is important for people to pray Jumu’ah. In Muslim countries also, they are not giving importance to Jum’ah. Many of them are not going. Many people think in Muslim countries they are a hundred percent going to Jum’ah or praying or doing this worship. Very, very few are those who go; maybe five percent or ten percent. So it is not given importance in Muslim countries. In other countries also, if Allāh ﷻ opens for you His ﷻ way to succeed in ākhirah, it will be for you, in shā’a Llāh.

And we must pray for this. In this Khutbah of Jum’ah, we read this ayah, ‘‘ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ”

“Id’ūnī ‘Astajib lakum’’

“Call upon Me; I will respond to you.”(Qur’ān 40:60). Which means, pray for Me, I will accept it for you. We must pray all the time to stay on this way. Because life – they think life is long but it is not long, it is short. But even if short, people can ask, and pray for Allāh ﷻ to keep us strong on the right way, for you, for your children, for all people. You can pray. Allāh ﷻ is saying, “I will accept”, in shā’a Llāh. And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says in ḥadīth, we also read it in khuṭbah; Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, “سِلاحُ المُؤْمِنُ الدُّعَاء”

 “The weapon of the believer is du’ā.”

Praying is the weapon for mu’min, for the believer. This is our weapon. We don’t have gun, we don’t have pistol. Our weapon is more effective: Du’ā’. It is du’ā’, praying. And Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla with this, our Prophet ﷺ said, opens for you, gives you rizq, health and everything. Giving you protection, giving you a good life and happiness; happiness and satisfaction which is very important these days. Because people don’t have happiness or satisfaction. They are looking for something. They can easily get this, but they are not seeing what is in front of their eyes. Looking at it. It is a huge thing in front of their eyes, but they are still searching where it is; looking for happiness, for satisfaction. Shayṭān is making people blind, not seeing. And still, your happiness is in front of your eyes, accept this, open your eyes, you will be happy. In shā’a Llāh.

May Allāh ﷻ accept our du’ā’. We are praying for you, for your country, for Allāh ﷻ to give hidāyah for all of them, to be happy with Islām, īmān, justice, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ send us Sayyidinā Al-Mahdī alayhi s-salām. He will make the whole world to be Muslim, in shā’a Llāh.

*QUR’ĀN IS THE PROOF*

Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani 

18 October 2025/ 26 Rabih Al-Akhir 1447 Glew Dergah – Buenos Aires, Argentina

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Our ṭarīqah is to be together, to give good advice and listen to advice. The Naqshbandi ṭarīqah is one of forty one ṭarīqah, way, which is coming from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam. One from Sayyidinā Abū Bakr as-Siddiq and the other from Sayyidinā ʿAlī. The ṣaḥābah of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam are the highest people among the ummah. The highest ones are the companions of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, the ṣaḥābah. 

Among human beings, the highest are Prophets. There are 124,000 prophets. And the highest one, who completed the religion, has the highest rank is our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, Sayyidinā Muḥammad ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Because his ﷺ name is mentioned with the name of Allāh ﷻ – 

Lā ilāha illā Llāh Muḥammadun Rasūlu Llāh ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. 

So he ﷺ is the highest and we are lucky to be in his ﷺ nation. All Prophets are on the same way; no difference. You cannot differentiate, “This is one brought a different order from Allāh ﷻ.” No, maybe the order came, but still it didn’t finish; it was finished with Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

For this, all people following believers, following Islām, of course. And in Christianity or Judaism they are not saying that after Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam came any Prophet. Every Prophet that came was saying “After me is coming a Prophet” And the last Prophet before Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was Sayyidinā Īsá alayhi s-salām. He, of course, was believing in ṭurāh and was saying, “Allāh ﷻ will send after me the last Prophet and his name Ahmad.” So, it is clear. People must know that the religion is one and must believe in this. Each prophet came accepted what Allāh ﷻ was giving and taught people the order of religion. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla was giving them one by one [order], until Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. In the last year of his ﷺ life, he ﷺ said in ḥajj, “Today I completed your religion.”

And many things our ‎Prophet ﷺ said in the prophecy have happened. And now there are still many prophecies that did not happen. They will happen, in shā’a Llāh. Especially about Sayyidinā Īsá, alayhi s-salām. Allāh Azza wa Jalla mentioned in the Qur’ān his miracle.

The Qur’ān which is the real word of Allāh Azza wa Jalla. The only one left in religions. They have in other religions but they have changed them. Only the Qur’an Azimu sh-Sha’n is preserved as it is from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. And it is some likeness, like you give an example about something but the example is very far from it; just according to what we can say. Just as some crime happens and people look at it. Many times, you see in movie or so, a crime happens but people don’t know what happened or who did this, what exactly happened. So maybe many times, innocent people are put in jail or given death penalty. After that, nobody knows what happened. But Allāh Azza wa Jalla, no. He ﷻ said, “Everything Allāh ﷻ says is true.” And in the Qur’ān He ﷻ told us many things about this. 

One of these things – before we continue – is in the time of Sayyidinā Mūsá alayhi s-salām. They killed one man and threw him in some place. He was suspecting that maybe these people killed him. They came asking Sayyidinā Mūsá alayhi s-salām, “Who killed this man? We must take revenge.” Because in Judaism, there is kisās, like revenge. If you kill one, you must kill one. If you cut his head or hand, you must cut the same. If you cut his ear, they must cut an ear. Teeth by teeth, they say. So, they came to him and Musa ‘alayhi s-salām spoke with Allāh ﷻ – he is Kalimu Llāh – they said, “Ask Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla what shall we do to know who killed this man.” Sayyidinā Musa asked and an order came, “Kill one cow and hit this man with something from the cow.” They asked, “O Musa alayhi s-salam, which cow?” He said, “A cow that mustn’t be so old.” After that, they were asking again, “Yes, we know, but which color must it be?” He said, “Its color must be yellow, a very nice yellow color.” Still asking, still asking. “It is mixed up for us how this cow must be.” And after that, the answer was coming, “It must be young. It must have a very nice, yellow color. It mustn’t have worked at all. It must be like this, like that.” And then they said, “Ok, ok, we understand. We will do this.” They went looking for this cow all around the whole country, only to find one. They asked for the price to kill it. Its owner was one poor, good man, a believer. Allāh ﷻ gave him an inspiration, “You must fill this cow’s leather with gold.” Of course, they have too much money, but they are stingy. But still, they paid it in full; maybe one ton or more than one ton of gold. They cut the cow, took its tongue and hit that man who was killed with its tongue. He woke up and said, “It is my nephew. He killed me for my money.”

Allāh ﷻ is saying, “Allāh ﷻ gives examples in the Qur’ān for people to believe.”And about Sayyidina Isa – Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying [in the Qur’an], Sayyidatina Maryam was all the time worshipping, praying. Allāh ﷻ sent her an angel and she became pregnant without marriage, without anyone touching her. Allāh ﷻ is the one who creates everything. He ﷻ gave an example for the creation of Sayyidinā Īsá. He is like Sayyidinā Ādam ʿalayhi s-salām. He ﷻ created him from earth, mud, and said “Be” and he was. After this, what happened? The end of the story of Sayyidina Īsá, some traitor – everybody knows the traitor – Allāh ﷻ says in the Qur’ān, we made this one in the appearance of Sayyidinā Isa. They caught him and killed him putting him on this cross to death. In the Qur’an, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla tells us,

 “وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَٰكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ”

 “Wa Mā Qatalūhu Wa Mā Şalabūhu Wa Lakin Shubbiha Lahum”

“But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of ‘Isa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man)”. (Qur’ān 04:157). 

They didn’t kill him; they didn’t crucify him or put him on a cross. It only looked like that. They thought they’ve done this. And Allāh ﷻ said

  “بَل رَّفَعَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ”

“Bal Rafa`ahu Allāhu ‘Ilayhi’’

“But Allāh raised him [Isa (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens)”. (Qur’ān 04:158). 

Allāh ﷻ took him, raised him from dunyā to Heaven, the second Heaven. There are 7 Heavens. He is in the second heaven and he will come back to show all human beings who were cheated by these people and to let them know that he is the real Isa ‘alayhi s-salām. Not as they said: son of god. He who has very little bit of thinking cannot believe in this. Allāh Azza wa Jalla doesn’t have shape. He ﷻ doesn’t have place. All this place, universe, light, sound, day, centuries, history, all of this is created by Allāh Azza wa Jalla. 

So, you cannot say somebody is His ﷻ son; it is impossible for anyone who has good thinking to believe in this. And everybody in every religion – because most of them are destroyed by those who claim are religious people. They are destroyed by these people for money, for benefit. And they make millions and billions of people to be out of the way of Allāh ﷻ.

For this, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will – Maybe somebody is saying, “How can a priest or rabbi or other do this!” There are many examples for this. You know this one rabbi, he was in time of Sayyidina Yusha ‘alayhi s-salām. He knows Ismu Llāh al-A’ẓam, the Great Name of Allāh ﷻ. And if this one who knows it spells it, he can do anything. Even this one was cheated, “We will give you a beautiful woman to marry.” And he betrayed Sayyidina Yusha ‘alayhi s-salām. So no, they are not innocent. They are with shayṭān. They changed many things, maybe 95 or 99 percent of the holy books.

Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, the biggest miracle of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is Qur’ān Aẓīmu sh-Shā’n. It is in our hand, coming from heaven; not changing at all. Every good thing, every knowledge is inside it. For this, when Sayyidina Isa comes – in shā’a Llāh we are waiting. Everybody is waiting for the one to come; believers, non-believers, everybody. So, it is from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla to put in the hearts of people that somebody will come and give happiness, justice for this world after all this corruption or after all this oppression. In shā’a Llāh, we are waiting. The Time is not so far, I think. In shā’a Llāh, Sayyidinā Mahdī alayhi s-salām will come. Then Sayyidinā Īsá ‘alayhi ṣ-ṣalām will come from heaven, and clean and take all this dirt from the world, in shā’a Llāh. 

May Allāh ﷻ make him come soon and we will be with him, in shā’a Llāh. In shā’a Llāh, he will follow the religion of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. His wish is to be one of the ummah of Sayyidinā Muḥammad ﷺ. It is a very big honor. We are, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, from his ﷺ ummah. We must be thankful for Allāh ﷻ for this. 

May Allāh ﷻ bless you.

ADVICE FOR HAPPINESS IN BOTH LIVES*

Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani 

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad. 

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm: 

‘‘إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ’’

‘’Innamā Ya`muru Masājida Allāhi Man ‘Āmana Billāhi Wa Al-Yawmi Al-‘Ākhiri”

“The mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day.”(Qur’ān 09:18). Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says in the Qur’an, those who believe in Allāh ﷻ and the last day, the next life, make this house for Allāh ﷻ, it means Baytu Llah. The Jami, Masjid is the house of Allāh ﷻ. What does it mean? It means everybody can come, enter, do ‘ibadah and take reward, in shā’a Llāh. AlhamduliLlah we are traveling from place to place. Masha’Allah, they make nice places for Masjid and Dergah.

In shā’a Llāh, all of you will be surprised on the Day of Resurrection, how Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is giving you reward for what you had done in this life. Some people make big things; some people make small things. Even if they do good things without knowing it, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla knows. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says in the Qur’an,

 “فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ”

 (7)

 وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ” (8)”

“So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it (7)”

“And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.”(8).(Qur’ān 99:07-08). 

Which means who does a very small good thing, as small as dust, Allāh ﷻ will reward him for that. And who does a bad thing, Allāh ﷻ will forgive him if he asks for forgiveness. There is a good thing in this also. Who does a bad thing, if he repents and asks for forgiveness, Allāh ﷻ forgives him. And He ﷻ turns this sin into reward for him.

For this, some people will be surprised, “We didn’t know of all these good things. From where is this reward coming? Like a mountain coming to us. From where is this? We weren’t good people all the time. We were doing bad things, from where is this coming!” You were doing bad things, but when you asked for forgiveness, Allāh ﷻ changed it to reward. Allāh ﷻ is Generous. He ﷻ is not afraid for it finish. Creatures don’t give too much. Some are generous but they can also be afraid that maybe they will finish. But Allāh’s ﷻ treasures are endless; no limit. He ﷻ is always giving people. One cannot imagine how much He ﷻ will give on that day.

What must you do with this? You must believe in Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and His ﷻ generosity. We are poor people and we are doing as much as we can but we ask Allāh ﷻ to help us in the life here and the other life also. So we must be grateful to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He ﷻ likes people who thank Him ﷻ not those who complain. Now people of this time are all the time complaining about everything. Not happy with anything. It is difficult to make them happy. Who made this? Shayṭān. He made people unhappy and not satisfied. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “If you are thankful, I will multiply what you have.” If you thank Allāh ﷻ, Allāh ﷻ will make all what you have from goodness to continue. If you have a good village, if you have a good land, anything; you must be thankful for it. And He ﷻ will make it continue for you. If not, if you are not thankful only complaining, it will be cut.

This is our advice for people who want happiness in both lives; here and hereafter. Here it is important. But the most important is the next life. The other one is forever but what’s important is to prepare here for that life. Some people, people of old times, thought they are clever. The ancient people in Egypt or other places knew there was another life and they prepared for it. But they weren’t so clever because they didn’t prepare good deeds for ākhirah. They just put gold or instruments in their graves thinking, “When we go to the next life we can use it.” And this in the other life is like garbage; it’s nothing. Life in paradise: there are houses from gold, from jewels. For this, you can only take this with good deeds not by taking with you money and gold, putting it in the grave.

May Allāh ﷻ give people good understanding. Those who understand this will be happy and not worried about anything. And people will be very happy with them, in shā’a Llāh. 

May Allāh ﷻ give good understanding to this country, other countries, and everywhere. They are harming people for something that will be a punishment for them in the next life. Everybody must know that Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla will ask about our deeds. Allāh ﷻ is happy with people who help each other, not harm each other. 

May Allāh ﷻ make us from those who help each other.

*WITH ENVY, HAPPINESS DISAPPEARED*

Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani 

21 October 2025/ 29 Rabih Al-Akhir 1447

Dergah Mallin Ahogado, Patagonia, Argentina

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad. 

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

In shā’a Llāh, may Allāh ﷻ give us to be all the time in good gatherings like this, in shā’a Llāh. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, the best thing for the mu’min is to be helpful to other people. In everything; helpful in teaching people, or in any kind of help.

This is a ḥadīth, the best one is who is best for his family, his country and human beings. Of course, most people think if they do this, they will lose something from their benefit. If you help one and he becomes better than you, you think you will lose. This is the thought of people, but not the thought of believers. The believer is not like this. The believer helps everyone. Also who has good thinking must know this. If you are in a good position, your neighbor is in a good position, the other one is good and other is also good, all people will be happy and there won’t be a problem. 

But shayṭān is envious. He is teaching people to be envious. He doesn’t help them to be helpful to each other; no. He wants nobody to help the other, nobody to be happy.

This is AlhamduliLlah what Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is teaching human beings. This teaching was Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam’s teaching. When Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was teaching and telling people about Islām, the people of his ﷺ tribe and those around him ﷺ when he ﷺ was living in Makkah Mukarramah, were envious, not accepting. Because they don’t want. 

They have proudness and they don’t want anybody to be like them. They wanted everyone to be below them. And many of them know and Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam showed them miracles. He ﷺ told them what’s important. 

They even knew Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam before he ﷺ became a Prophet. They know he ﷺ is honest, not lying, not doing any bad thing. But the biggest thing that destroyed them is envy and proudness. As it is mentioned in Qur’ān also,

 ‘‘وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنَ الْقَرْيَتَيْنِ عَظِيمٍ”

‘’Wa Qālū Lawlā Nuzzila Hādhā Al-Qur’ānu `Alá Rajulin Mina Al-Qaryatayni `Ažīm”

 ‘’And they say: 

“Why is not this Qur’ān sent down to some great man of the two towns (Makkah and Tā’if)?”(Qur’ān 43:31). 

They say, why is it coming to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ – they call him ﷺ “Muhammad” only – and not coming to this one. They have one wise man who was living in Arabia. He was a wise man and everybody knew his position is higher than theirs. From their proudness, they were saying some things that the mind doesn’t accept. 

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla chose Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and is not asking for peoples’ opinion, “Whom shall I choose? Do you want to make elections?” Even this man who they said is wise became Muslim later. And they were calling him saying, “Prophecy must be yours. You must be the Prophet.” He told them, “No. Now, I accepted Islām and he ﷺ is the Prophet. The highest one is Sayyidina Muhammad ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.” Even with this, they didn’t accept. This is a very bad character to be proud and envious. This is the character of shayṭān.

Al-ḥamdu liLlāh, if you see somebody, al-ḥamdu liLlāh who has a good business, has enough to live, has a good family, is teaching good adab, good manners, we are happy with them the most. This is the happiness for us and for believers; all believers also. Who are not believers are not happy. Everything they see, even if not for Muslims or for believers, they get envious from anybody. For this, they are fighting the whole time and not happy.

Ṭarīqah people, alhamduliLlah, have good adab, good teaching. It’s been like this the whole time, since the time of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam until now. Who are in the way of Prophet ﷺ, way meaning ṭarīqah, are helpful for each other and for other people also. If they see somebody who’s in need for help, they help him as much as they can. And of course, after the Ottoman time ended, many things changed in the world; especially in Muslim countries. And when Muslim countries lost good manners, other people also, the whole world lost it.

Slowly, slowly this good manner became less and less. And it nearly finished. If you find some people helping or are trying to help, people misunderstand them or don’t believe them.

In the time of Ottomans, there was like ṭarīqah, all ṭarīqah people – there were teachers for the traders and for each occupation. For each what he wants to become. What will this boy be? Maybe he wants to become a butcher. They put him in a butchery to learn how to become butcher with an owner or master. The other wants to become a carpenter. Also the same, they put him in a place with a master of carpentry.

 Any profession he must learn like goldsmith or blacksmith or other, they were going through this process. And when they were beginning it, they were beginning with du’ā’, taking him to the shop and beginning with Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm, praying for him. 

There are of course many professions, not one, maybe a hundred, two hundred, as much there is. Each must be with the master of the profession he is happy with until many years. And when he finishes – of course there are many degrees. Each degree is called a different name: after 2 years like this, after 4 years, after 6 years. And when he finishes, they test him, ask him some things and give him a certificate. 

And of course, during all this time they are teaching him adab, good behavior, respect for the old and young and everyone. After that, they also make a ceremony, du’ā’ and give him this certificate.

These people were helping each other. If there is a customer coming to him, if he sold something and his neighbor near him didn’t sell anything yet, he sends him this customer. He says, “Today I made enough. So the other one must also be happy.” What happens then? This is happy, the other is happy, the other is happy, the whole country becomes happy. 

If he said, “No, every customer must be for me. I must take them all,” he also will not be happy because he will think, “O look, these people are looking at me that I have too much business yet they don’t have. They are envying me. I am doing all this, but they cannot do anything.” Also the country becomes an unhappy country. And it was like this for hundreds of years, until these shayṭān people came and taught them to be envious and to kill each other, to be not happy with anyone.

 Because in the Ottoman time, they were living with 70 different people, ethnicities. And what we were saying applied to all. It’s not that if he was Muslim, he will not send his customer to the Christian or Jewish or other people. No, if he had a customer, he will send him to the others also. To make everybody happy.

But these shayṭān people make fitnah and make people be against each other. And when this happened, happiness went and fitnah came. And after this, what happened? Maybe millions of them left the country. And they came this place. From that good country, they came to a place for dunyā. But when coming for dunya, there is no benefit for most of them. Yes, from envy they destroyed everything and made people miserable.

Allāh ﷻ gives provision, rizq for everybody. And you must believe in this. Don’t be envious, in shā’a Llāh.

As we said, millions of people came here. In shā’a Llāh, maybe half of them were Muslim. But when they came here, they lost this also. In shā’a Llāh, may Allāh ﷻ give hidayah for others also, in shā’a Llāh. Because we cannot say this for children or grand grandchildren – ok also for this – but Allāh ﷻ is able to give hidayah for new people also; no problem. A place like this is, in shā’a Llāh, throwing light in the hearts of people, in shā’a Llāh. Just like the butterflies come to light, may He ﷻ make these people come to Islām through places like this. 

May Allāh ﷻ give us good understanding, in shā’a Llāh, and keep us safe from every badness, in shā’a Llāh. 

Wa min Allah at-tawfiq, Al Fatiha.

*LIKE THE HEART OF SAYYIDINA IBRĀHĪM*

Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani 

24 October 2025/ 03 Jumada al-Awwal 1447 

San Esteban Dergah – Córdoba, Argentina

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad. 

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

[…] We read the ḥadīth of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam [in Khutbah], 

“لا يزال أربعون رجلا من أمتي قلوبهم على قلب إبراهيم يدفع الله بهم عن أهل الأرض ، يقال لهم الأبدال”

“There will always be forty men from my nation whose hearts are like the heart of Ibrāhim, Allāh ﷻ removes affliction from the people of earth through them. They are called al-Abdal.”

 Forty people, sincere people, their hearts incline to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, their hearts are like the heart of Sayyidina Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. Sayyidina Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām is one of the great prophets. There are seven prophets who are Uli l-‘Azm, the mighty prophets.

Many things happened to him, many things since he was a youngster. And Allāh ﷻ showed him. Without any guidance, Allāh ﷻ guided him to be a prophet. He grew up in a place where there was Nimrod. Nimrod was a tyrant. He was controlling all this area, the area of the Mediterranean, the middle east; a very big area. He was controlling this area and making people worship him. He ordered people to make a statue of him. So to have a statue or something like this is not good. He had one. Not the father of Sayyidina Ibrāhīm but his stepfather, Azar, was building his statue and getting benefit from this one, Nimrod. 

But when Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām was a boy, he was wondering why were they doing this. And after that, he saw that people were worshipping this statue, and not taking anything from them. When he became older than a teenager, he was thinking, “These people are worshipping this; this is not my god. It cannot be god, they have no benefit for them. Only some people benefit from this thing but the others are paying them.” And Allāh ﷻ gave him an inspiration to look for God. It is also mentioned in Qur’ān, at night-time he saw one star, he was happy with it. He said, “This is my god. It is very high, very shiny; it’s nice. This must be god.” This star was maybe a planet or something. After a little bit it disappeared. He said, “I don’t like god to disappear. Once coming, once not coming. This is not for me.” After that, he saw a moon. He said, “This moon is shining more than this planet, this star. It must be god.” But after a little bit, also the moon disappeared. He said, “Oh, this is also not god. I don’t like that. Maybe I will be lost. I must look for another thing.” 

After that was coming the daytime, the sun was shining. Every thing appeared and it was big, so he said, “This is bigger. It must be god.” After this, of course, the sun also set. He is said, “It’s also not.” He said, “I cannot accept this. I am not from those who put [associate] something with God. I only have one God.” Allāh ﷻ opened for him and he started telling people, “What are you doing! This is not good. Don’t do this.”

Some people were happy but some of them not. There were some complaining. But nothing happened until one day came that was specially for celebrating something. And in this day, they were all out of the city so he went into the temple where they were worshipping these idols. He took an axe and broke them all. Then, he put the axe in the hand of the biggest one. 

When these people came back, they were looking at this temple; they were surprised at what happened there. Nimrod also heard about this. He said, “Who did this?!” They said, “We heard that one boy was saying, “What you’re doing is not good. There is no benefit from this.” Maybe he did this. We are sure he did this.” They brought Sayyidina Ibrāhīm and asked him, “Who did this?” He said, “You see the axe is in his hand [the biggest idol], he did this.” Nimrod said, “Are you crazy! How can he do this? He can’t do anything. He just stands there. He is from stone.” That time, he gave a proof that this is not a god, only a stone; nothing else. All people agreed with him.

And because all people won’t be worshipping this Nimrod idol anymore, Nimrod became very angry. So he caught him and made a big fire. Maybe for 40 days, or maybe for months, he collected wood that it became like a mountain of wood. He burnt this wood causing a huge fire. But they couldn’t go near the fire because it was burning everything maybe from a kilometer far away. They wondered how they can reach there. So they made a catapult. 

In old times they used to throw stones using a catapult. So they made Sayyidina Ibrāhīm sit there and threw him into the fire. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, everything is in the Hand of Allāh ﷻ. He ﷻ said to the fire, “O fire,” ‘يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ’, 

‘Yā Nāru Kūnī Bardāan Wa Salāmāan `Alá ‘Ibrāhīm”

 “O fire, be coolness and safety upon Ibrahim.” (Qur’ān 21:69).

“Be cool, and let there be greenery and water for Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām.”

Because it was a very strong fire, they couldn’t make anything to Sayyidina Ibrāhīm. Allāh ﷻ made this a miracle for people to follow Sayyidina Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām.

Still, because of Nimrod’s proudness he didn’t accept what happened. He didn’t accept to follow Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. He was preparing a big army to go against Sayyidina Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. 

Allāh ﷻ also made a miracle with a very small, very weak insect. He sent them a mosquito. The mosquitoes were coming like clouds upon them. There was an army, an army wearing iron. This mosquito entered through them. Allāh ﷻ gave these mosquitoes a power different from the ones in our time. They attacked them leaving skeletons. They ate everything. Some of them were running away. And Nimrod also ran away and locked himself up in his castle. But Allāh ﷻ sent him the weakest of mosquitoes. It was even disabled. It entered from his nose reaching his brain, and began to eat. Every time it ate, he was aching so much that he was hitting his head and it stopped for a little bit. Slowly slowing this mosquito – this was also a miracle of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla – it was becoming bigger and bigger. So they must hit his head even stronger. This is that Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla wants to torture him in dunyā before ākhirah, for him to accept but he didn’t. This is the characteristic of human beings. 

Some people when they have something, they don’t [accept] – the worst attribute of human beings is proudness. To see some people lower than them. For this, he was seeing everyone lower than him. So, he didn’t accept at all. They were still doing this for a long time. In the end, he was shouting from ache. They heard him and hit his head very strongly, it broke. He died because his head opened but this mosquito was still alive and became as the size of a bird; that big.

Of course, there are many miracles of prophet Sayyidina Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām. He is also the father of prophets, many, hundreds of prophets. His lineage was divided into two, one descending from Sayyidina Is’hāk and one from Sayyidina Ismail. From Sayyidina Is’hāk was coming Sayyidina Musa and others, banī Isrāil. All these were descendants of Sayyidina Is’hāk ‘alayhi s-salām. And Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam descended from Sayyidina Ismail. So he is the grand father of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. 

For this, he ﷺ was also saying in ḥadīth, his heart was full of belief, īmān. For this, every time in salah, prayer, we say, “wa ‘ala āli Sayyidina Ibrāhīm.” We mention Sayyidina Ibrāhīm also in every prayer.

Of course, Sayyidina Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām had also done many things. One of them, the biggest one – one of the pillars of Islām; which we must perform: Ḥajj. He built the Ka’bah. He and Sayyidina Ismail built the Ka’bah. And it is of course big, maybe 10 to 12 meters long. They were taking and building. And this is also one miracle and it’s still there. It’s a miracle how he’s built the Ka’bah. In front of the Ka’bah is maqām Ibrāhīm. Some people destroyed Ka’bah many times but they couldn’t destroy this. Because this was as [ladder] to build Ka’bah. He was standing on this stone and the stone was going up, coming down, like this. When he wanted to put a one up, he would stand on this stone and fly. Because it was only he and his son Ismail ‘alayhi s-salām. There wasn’t anybody to help them.

AlhamduliLlah when he finished, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla told him, “Call people to come to ḥajj to make pilgrimage.” But there was nobody around this area; only both of them. But he didn’t say anything. He was just calling people to come for pilgrimage; like the adhan. But there wasn’t anybody there. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says, this adhan means that anyone who’s been or will be to ḥajj has heard this adhan. 

So millions and billions of people had heard this, and after centuries, after thousands of years, they came to this invitation. This is the invitation of Allāh ﷻ through Sayyidina Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām.

May Allāh ﷻ make our heart like his, as Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said. “الصَّابِرِينَ وَالصَّادِقِينَ وَالْقَانِتِينَ وَالْمُنفِقِينَ وَالْمُسْتَغْفِرِينَ بِالْأَسْحَارِ”

 “Aş-Şābirīna Wa Aş-Şādiqīna WaAl-Qānitīna Wa Al-Munfiqīna WaAl-Mustaghfirīna Bil-‘Asĥāri”

“The patient, the truthful, the obedient, those who spend [in the way of Allah ], and those who seek forgiveness before dawn.” (Qur’ān 03:17), says Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. To be asking for forgiveness, to pray in night and day and to ask for forgiveness from Allāh ﷻ. 

May Allāh ﷻ bless you all, in shā’a Llāh, in this way, to have like the heart of Sayyidina Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi s-salām.

 May Allāh ﷻ bless you.

There are countless mosques located on the territory of Istanbul, Turkey. Some of them were built hundreds of years ago, while others appeared only recently. We would like to tell you about one modern construction, the Marmara University Faculty of Theology Mosque. Despite the young age of the building, sure it will be of interest to all connoisseurs of unusual architecture.

The iconic structure was built on the site of an earlier mosque that had been present here for thirty years. The reason for the radical rebuilding of the previous building was its non-compliance with seismic resistance requirements.

Construction of the modern mosque was carried out from 2012-2015, and the complex was inaugurated by President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The architect behind the mosque project was Hilmi Şenalp, who had worked on other religious buildings before.

Despite its modest size, the building can accommodate 4300 people. The complex includes not only the visible parts above ground, but also lecture halls, exhibition rooms, a library, and a cafe located beneath the mosque. Drawings of the building can be found online, revealing that the underground section dwarfs the size of the main prayer hall.

The mosque minarets soar over 50 meters high, and the dome rises above the ground by nearly 35 meters. The structure is made of steel, with approximately 500 tons of alloy used in the construction phase.

The building looks modern and remarkable from both the outside and inside. The walls of the main prayer hall are composed of glass archways with intricate lattice work. This design allows natural light to illuminate the building even on cloudy days. Sunrays penetrate the structure through the apex of the dome, which is itself a work of art and looks simply fantastic.

The Hassa Architects designed this mosque with a sense of tradition and used a lot of fractured geometry which is crucial to Islamic art. Modern construction techniques let us build the most intricate designs with ease. The motifs that are inspired by natural forms were transferred to steel, glass and glass fiber reinforced concrete in 3D.

The mosque is on the university’s Bağlarbaşı campus on the Asian side of İstanbul and sits on 30.000 square meters of area. It can house 5.000 people. It was planned as a social attraction center with classrooms, conference rooms, exhibition areas, theatre rooms and cafes.

This mosque is the first steel mosque in the country. Its steel structure sits on a decahedral cement base.

“The motifs that are inspired by natural forms were transferred to steel, glass and glassfiber reinforced concrete in 3D.”

One of the most attractive elements is the 1000 year old traditional wooden bridge wing which was constructed with steel, glass and GRC / GFRC this time. The central dome has a diameter of 35 meters and this 35 meter high central dome rests on twelve steel carriers.

There were also used for the Turkish triangle forms that tied the columns to the dome. The stepped helix structure was placed on the steel ridge ribs sat on the main steel beam. Each one of the materials used to dress the helix formed dome was prepared with specially constructed moulds. The geometry that was constructed by 22 different planes that were placed on top of each other comprises panels the sizes of which are between 7.84 and 3.81 meters.

The side windows of the mosque are reminiscent of Anatolian Seljuk architecture and the sunlight screens brought the inner and outer spaces together. The sunlight screens were carried over a special system of 7.39×7.57 meters of distance and were connected to the main steel construction. The same system was repeated at the mosque porticos. The carrier steel frames were hidden behind the sunlight screen panels and created the impression that the structure was hanging in the air.
