Sabah Namaz, Akbaba Dargah
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh,
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem,
Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin,
Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina,

Tariqatunas sohba, wal khayru fil jamiyya.
Today is the first of Muharram. May it be blessed In sha’Allah. May Allah (JJ) make the New Hijri Year blessed for the world of Islam. In sha’Allah may this year be the year of victory for Islam. We hope so because the harder it gets the nearer victory is Allah willing.
When people are hopeless with this much toil, when they are in such a difficult situation Allah comes to the rescue. Allah Azza wa Jalla is surely with Mumins, with those who believe in Him. Therefore we are never hopeless.
Hopelessness means faithlessness. You need to believe in Allah (JJ) and not lose hope from Allah. You need to call for help from Allah in every opportunity, and you need to ask for help from Allah so He may help us In sha’Allah. Allah is capable of everything. The things He gave us are great blessings. Most of us do not know the value of the blessings, but still Allah is Arhamur Rahimin and He forgives them. “Do not lose hope from My mercy,” says Allah Azza wa Jalla.
Therefore, we are saying In sha’Allah may this year be the year of victory for Islam. 1438 years have passed since our Holy Prophet (ﷺ) got up and made hegira from Mecca to Medina. This is a big lesson for us. When, “Nothing can happen anymore. We can finish him alone,” was said, our Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said to Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) in the middle of so much difficulty:
لاَ تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ ا ه للَّ مَعَنَا
“La tahzan, innallaha ma’ana.” (Sura Tawba:40) “Do not grieve; we are not alone, indeed Allah is with us.” This is a big lesson for the world of Islam. These are beautiful words. Nothing would sadden people who believe the truth of this, and nothing would affect them. Allah is great, Allah is with us, and Allah is sufficient for us.
May these years be good. May they be good and blessed for the world of Islam. May Allah correct those who treat Islam as an enemy, and may Allah subdue with misery those who are beyond redemption. May they not harm Islam and Muslims In sha’Allah. May this year be a good and blessed one In sha’Allah. May our iman increase, and may we never be in need of anybody In sha’Allah.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
