The Task of Sufi Centres
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqani QS
“You should not waste your time by fighting with other Naqshbandis. That is one of the tricks Satan uses to make you weak, I want you to direct your strength outwardly toward other people. You should not accuse each other of things and cause unrest. That is foolishness. People want to be led to the right path by you, to truth and reality – they are thirsty for that. You should not be sitting together telling each other what others should do – or not do. That is not what we want. I am happy when my followers gather crowds who feel attracted to them, also when they do it in their own home. You can tie on after the next – collect them. Look at Burhanadin – he is catching so many with his hook, that is what is important. It is not important if five people are sitting somewhere and making dhikr (remembrance) there, just to spend their time. Go and hunt! That is what is important, to be a hunter. I want everyone to be a hunter, not to fight between yourselves. No, go and hunt. Gather more and more people. Save the souls of people! Help and support each other for this purpose. Make tea parties or meals. Picnics, lectures, seminars from time to time. Direct your energies to the outside world, not against each other, wasting them. Don’t make a ‘religious’ centre, make a social centre for social functions of every kind. Make everything which is not haram and what people like to do. Keep horses, many people like to ride. Set up libraries so that people can come and look. Don’t charge any entrance fee, set up tea gardens where people can come and listen. Organise exhibitions for people to come and look. Give a free meal every week or every month to make people used to coming regularly. Organise car boot sales to attract people. Make exhibitions about different subjects to attract people, you have to use your mind a bit. You have enough of it to be able to attract people.
You could set up a kindergarten where working mothers could leave their children. Organise a meeting place for old people where thy can come together during the day time and relax. The state would even pay you for that. There are so many activities like that. Make a collection of beautiful birds. Make a collection of flowers, plants for sale or like a park or garden in which people can sit to look after them. There are so many possibilities, hundreds of things. Make evening classes for sewing. make oriental exhibitions, Indian, Turkish, Christian… These are the things you should be doing, not sit (in Berlin) and quarrel with each other. Organise a sale every week where people can buy things from warehouses. Advertise, put signs on the streets, so that people who are driving by will stop and buy something. It can be a very beautiful place. Make stamp collections, photo exhibitions, book collections. Bring all kinds of skins, wooden and handmade objects. Tell people that you have a temple, synagogue and a mosque. Who wants, can come. They will come. People need so little to be pleased nowadays. If it is free, so many will be interested. Keep sheep in their enclosures and bring donkeys on which the young ones can ride.
You must work out these things I am telling you in detail and you must look who is an expert for what. Don’t look if people are Muslims or not. Just see if they are interested, then they are welcome. It should be a place for the good of mankind without making a difference of religious beliefs or race, but it should be mainly for people from this country. Use the good old customs of the English; their costumes, their houses. With everything you do – try to make young people interested in their history, their old customs and good traditions so that these don’t get lost in bad times. Make a peaceful centre for young and old, for every kind of people. And whichever means you need, Allah will send to you. He will send you so many helpers. If you start looking more and more, doors will open….Here the complete sohbat
