Zawiyah in Sri Lanka

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.

Insha’Allah by the order of Mawlānā Shaykh, after Fajr, he said that Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says: to say a few words as [the time of] milking one goat will be barakah. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying this.

AlhamduliLlah, when you understand or not understand, barakah will happen. May Allāh ﷻ give us good understanding. AlhamduliLlah we are happy that we meet again. AlhamduliLlah this is Allāh’s ﷻ will. The Mu’min must every time surrender to Allāh’s ﷻ will. Wherever He ﷻ take us, wherever He ﷻ bring us, we must accept and we must be thankful, thanking Him ﷻ for everything in His ﷻ will for us.

So the Mu’min must be happy because Allāh ﷻ made him Mu’min. This is the biggest favor. Other things can be. Everything, anything can be. So when you

have good things like this meeting, to be in the straight way all your life: this is the

biggest ni’mah. So we must be thankful, the most thankful for Allāh ﷻ for this ni’mah.

AlhamduliLlah we saw you again, and it was happiness for us. This happiness is from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Because one Mu’min going to meet a Mu’min, Allāh ﷻ is happy, He ﷻ rewards him for each step, He ﷻ forgives him for each step and makes his degree higher one more for each step. This is from Allāh ﷻ

For this, you feel happiness when you meet with a friend or Mu’min for the sake of Allāh ﷻ. Intention, al-ḥamdu liLlāh, all this intention to come at night time and wait for us, Allāh ﷻ rewards for this, for every minute. Our life is precious. And it is precious with being in the way of Allāh ﷻ and your intention. If your intention is good, every minute, every second Allāh ﷻ rewards you for this.

May Allāh ﷻ bless you. May Allāh ﷻ make us to be happy with Him ﷻ insha’Allah.To make us happy, and to be happy with us insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

PLEASURE HERE AND HEREAFTER

Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani 31 October 2024/ 28 Rabih Al-Akhir 1446 Isha Prayer – Sri Lanka

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 says,

 “كلُّ آتٍ قريب”

“Kullu ‘atin qareeb”,

“Everything coming is near.”

Meaning everything coming is near. You say, “After twenty years or after fifty years, I will write this, I will do this, I will do that.” This is not so far. Because it is coming, and quickly coming and passing. Life is very fast.

For this, don’t have any laziness. Don’t be lazy. Quickly do what you must do. Don’t say, “It is so long, it is too long. He can wait. We can do this later.” This makes you lose a very precious thing which is life, time. Allāh جل جلاله gave you this life for winning the next life. Don’t say, “I will be doing this later.”

 Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says,  

 ”ھلك المسوفون“

 “Halaka l-musawwifoon.”

 Musawwifoon means those who say “ سوف”

  “ Sawfa”, “I will. I will do.” They are losers, he صلى الله عليه وسلم say , Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. They destroy themselves. Because every time you say “Sawfa”, “I will do, I will do this”, it shows that you haven’t done this.

For this, the mu’min must not be lazy. Do not leave any second, any moment without winning anything. How can you do this? With remembering Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, remembering Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This makes your whole time precious with reward. Your time will be full of reward. This is what human beings must do.

Today, alhamduliLlah, we are going and coming here. We meet in many villages many believers coming especially for the sake of Allāh جل جلاله, for the sake of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. For this, they are alhamduliLlah winners. But also, we see human beings, many human beings just running after dunya, after their own pleasure. Not thinking at all about akhirah, not believing in akhirah, not believing at all. Just as if Allāh جل جلاله created them for eating and enjoying themselves. Not at all any respect for Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

They are unlucky people. Maybe they are rich. Maybe they have everything, but it’s not enough for human beings. Allāh جل جلاله created human beings to be the highest, the highest one between creatures. But when they are not following Allāh’s order, they lose this and they become the lowest one. Don’t be sorry because you cannot do like them: some of them you can do, some of them not. It is not important at all because you can’t remember. After two days, this pleasure finishes. You want another. But the pleasure of akhirah is forever. Every moment becoming more better, (more) happier, more beneficial for akhirah. Allāh جل جلاله promised believers this.

And alhamduliLlah for the believer it is easy to take all this pleasure, this happiness for akhirah. This is only by following the order of Allāh جل جلاله, to be good with themselves, with their family, with their neighbor. All of this makes you get this reward and win this pleasure, if it is not the pleasure of dunyā. In dunyā also – the believer, mu’min can enjoy himself with dunyā things. As much as he is praying, and doing what Allāh جل جلاله orders him, there isn’t any prohibition. The mu’min can swim, eat, walk, go to a good place. All of this, when there is belief, īmān in his heart and does not forget Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, no problem with doing what’s halal; not eating dirty things, not drinking dirty things. This is the real pleasure and Allāh  جل جلاله rewards you in akhirah.

But for who are not believers, there’s no pleasure at all. They are only looking after ḥarām: eating ḥarām, drinking ḥarām, going ḥarām, coming ḥarām; everything. And there is no ḥarām after Kufr, Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says. When they are not believers, there isn’t any more ḥarām for them. Because the biggest ḥarām, sin is to be non-believer. When you are non-believer, this is the worst thing for human beings.

And the best thing for human beings is to be a believer, and to practice also. To be Mu’min or to be Muslim is ok also, but when you want more, you must follow a little bit more and not forget Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. This is the most important. And to have your heart filled with the love of Allāh جل جلاله, mentioning Allāh  جل جلاله mentioning Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam ,fill our heart from this light and nur insha’Allah. May Allāh جل جلاله bless you. AlhamduliLlah there are many believers here but insha’Allah Allāh  جل جلاله keep you safe from shayṭān and waswas. This is very bad for believers. They destroy their rewards. They can be Muslim,but when they are not asking from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam shafa’ah, not asking help from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, it will be very difficult for him in the next life. May Allāh  جل جلاله give them hidayah.

May Allāh جل جلاله keep us in their way insha’Allah, way of Awliyā’u Llāh insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

THE HOUR WHEN PRAYERS ARE ACCEPTED

Shaykh Mehmet Adil Ar-Rabbani Al-Haqqani Sohbet 1.11.2024, Sri Lanka

Today is Friday, Juma. Today is a blessed day for the Ummah, it is special for the Prophet, peace be upon him, and his Ummah. There are many blessings that Allah granted on this day to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and his Ummah until the Day of Judgment. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said there is a special hour on this day when prayers are accepted. When you find this hour, Allah accepts your prayers. For this reason, many people make prayers today, on Juma. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said they should remember to ask Allah throughout the entire 24 hours. On Juma… Allah’s gaze is in this hour. When people remember this throughout the day, they remember Allah, the Exalted. Therefore, it is good for all of us to pray and make dua throughout this entire day.

May Allah accept our prayers, give us strong faith, and grant us health so that we can perform our prayers and worship. May He give us health and wealth to give charity and help more people.Wa min Allāhi t-tawfīq, al-Fātiḥa.

DU’Ā’ ON FRIDAY* Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbani 01 November 2024/ 29 Rabih Al-Akhir 1446 Zawiyah in Sri Lanka 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. Today is Friday, Jum’ah. This day is a blessed day for the ummah. Jum’ah is special for Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. So there are many things that Allāh ﷻ granted Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam in this day and his ﷺ ummah until qiyāmah. Especially, there is one hour, Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying, in this day that du’ā’, prayer is accepted. If you find this hour, Allāh ﷻ accepts your du’ā’. Du’ā’ is accepted. For this many people are asking for du’ā’. Today, Jum’ah, in shā’a Llāh, they must remember to ask for Allāh ﷻ, every time for 24 hours, said Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. On Jum’ah, Allāh ﷻ has hidden this hour for people to remember all day. When they remember their thing, they remember Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. For this, it is good for all of us to make prayer, to make du’ā’ all the time in this day insha’Allah. May Allāh ﷻ accept your du’ā’ and accept our du’ā’, give us strong īmān and health, to be healthy, to be able to do our praying, our worshipping, give us health and wealth also to make sadaqah and help all people insha’Allah. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

SRI LANKA THE BLESSED ISLAND
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.

Insha’Allah this is the last night [in Sri Lanka]. May Allāh جل جلاله bless you. All of
you, mā shā’a Llāh, are very interested and very happy with Allāh جل جلاله. And He جل جلاله gave you this love for good people, for religious people who are light for us. For this, we
are, in shā’a Llāh, safe.
From your barakah also, and barakah of awliyā’ we are in this island. From the beginning, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent the first man, our father, Ādam ‘alayhi ssalam. He is the first man and the first Prophet. But of course, our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, Sayyidinā Muḥammad ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam says, “I was a Prophet when Ādam was between earth and water.” Meaning he still hasn’t even taken the shape of a human being. Our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was his prophet. But in this life, Allāh جل جلاله made it through Ādam ‘alayhi s-salam. Ādam ‘alayhi s-salam was here in this land. The first land in which he stayed 300 years crying, asking for forgiveness. For this, as you know, many jewels come from his tears. And of course, after asking forgiveness for 300 years, Allāh جل جلاله forgave him and gave this island blessings and barakah. It is mentioned. Everybody
knows this. And the most important thing is that Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wasallam mentioned this island, good island, blessed island: Ceylan, Sri Lanka.
The whole time, many awliyā’u Llāh have been here. Very few of them are known. There are thousands of them who lived here and are buried in this island also. This also gives more barakah because of this land. For this, Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim, our father, may Allāh جل جلاله bless him, may Allāh جل جلاله make his maqam higher and higher, and make him look after us. By his karāmah, we are continuing his way. Of course, he didn’t come here without reason. He came here because it is also a blessed place and he must continue this way, the good way for humanity; not only for this island, for the whole world also. Because sometimes he must be somewhere to get more blessings, more light and more nur.

Al-ḥamdu liLlāh he was here. In shā’a Llāh, this blessing comes for us and for you. You take spiritual power from all these saints, awliyā’u Llāh. They are, as we said, hidden. We know only very few of them: Shaykh Usman Ceylan and thers. It is very important to ask Allāh ʿAzza wa Jalla to accept our du’ā’ for the sake of these people. Every time you ask – if you can visit them, it will be (more) better. Because they will be happy you visited them. Even if from afar, no problem.
You can say. Sometimes from here, you ask blessings from Mawlana Shaykh, from
Shaykh Baha’uddin Naqshbandi, Abdul-Qādir Jīlānī, Shaykh Ahmad Badawī, Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh ad-Dāghestānī. All of them, because they are far from us – but for them, not far at all. They are coming, hearing and blessing you. Many of these awliyā’u Llāh are very strong. When you ask from them, through them you will get what you want.
The most important thing is to have protection from shayṭān and his followers, and whisperings, waswās, waswāsu sh-shayṭān. Because now there are two kinds, the normal shayṭān and the other shayṭān. They are claiming they are doing good, but they put in your heart doubt. They put something: “What you do is wrong. It is not acceptable, not right.”
Don’t listen to these people. Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is saying, َ ِّس ُروا”
َ ِّس ُروا ولا تُع ی“,” Yassirū wa-lā Tu‘assiru”, “Make things easy and do not make them difficult”. [Hadith]. Make it easy, not difficult. Don’t look for small things. You are praying, fasting; don’t say this is good, this is not good. Only make wudu’ (ablution), pray; especially on time. The best time to pray is the beginning of the prayer’s time; or a little bit more, but don’t leave it for later when the time of prayer goes and so you pray Qaḍā’ at night time. This is a very, very big loss. You lose many things. You lose very much. You cannot reach the same reward even if you are doing more and more. This finishes; you cannot take it anymore. For this, awliyā’u Llāh – Who are Awliyā’u Llāh? They are the beloved ones for Allāh جل جلاله. If you do this, you are also from the beloved ones for Allāh جل جلاله and you are also awliyā’u Llāh. Awliyā’u Llāh are not those who make karāmah all the time. There are many of them who don’t even know that they themselves are beloved ones, awliyā’u Llāh, but they are awliyā’u Llāh. Why? Because they are sincere and are doing what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying, and not asking things they cannot do.
Making du’a’ for themselves and for others, helping others. This is also considered Awliyā’u Llāh, wāliyu Llāh, beloved one. Wāliyu Llāh means a beloved one. Allāh جل جلاله ُ ِح ُّب ال ’ .people these loves ُ ی ِی َن ُ ْحس ْم َو َّ. نِ‘ ,’ Wa Llāhu yuḥibbu l-muḥsinīn’, ‘And Allah
loves the doers of good.’ (Qur’ān 03:134). ‘ ف ُ ِح ُّب ال َّ . ِإن َ Allaha inna-Fa ’ ‘َ ِین َّق ُت ْم ََّ ی
Yuh’ibbu l-Muttaqee َ ی .َّ و“. Allāh جل جلاله loves the believers. Allāh جل جلاله loves those who make good deeds, Allāh جل جلاله loves those who are aware from Allāh Azza wa Jalla.
This must be easy for people to do. Some people come asking, “How can we be awliyā’u Llāh? What must we do?” Some try to worship without sleeping, doing this, doing that, but they cannot continue. Maybe they can do so for one month, two months. After that, they are finished. They leave them. They leave everything. This is not acceptable. What’s acceptable is to do the same thing, only what Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla orders, and continue. Don’t tire yourself and after that you cannot do. You must slowly, slowly continue this for your whole life. Some people are also asking, “How am I?” If you are continuing, you are good. If you left. You are lazy to pray, lazy to pray on time, then you are not good. You must know this. Everybody must know this. No need to ask, “How am I? How my situation is, up, down?” If you are doing the same: praying five times, fasting Ramaḍān, giving zakāt, ṣadaqāh, this is it. Ṭarīqah or shari’ah are not putting on your back 50 kg of stone. No, it’s easy. When somebody is doing this and something happens that he cannot do them, he will be very unhappy, sad. Many of them sometimes cannot fast because they have some illness or something, they are very unhappy, most of them are crying, “We cannot fast.” Who is doing this is winner, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh جل جلاله bless you. May Allāh جل جلاله keep you safe, and make you hidāyah for others also, for these people who are not knowing anything about īmān, about Islam. They are creating for themselves a new way which is not the way of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. May Allāh جل جلاله give them hidāyah also, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh جل جلاله keep us safe. In shā’a Llāh, Allāh جل جلاله make us to meet again and again. In shā’a Llāh with Sayyidinā Al-Mahdī, we hope. This time is very difficult for the
whole world; not easy. So, in shā’a Llāh, maybe we come with Sayyidina Al-Mahdi
also, in shā’a Llāh.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
