Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

أَلَا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

(Qur’ān 10:62). ‘Alā inna awliyā’a Llāhi lā khawfun a’layhim wa-lā hum yaḥzanūn’, ‘Verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve.’ May Allah ﷻ let us attain their secrets insha’Allah. Today is the 10th Urs of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim according to the Hjiri calendar. Today on the 8th of Rajab and on the 7th of May; Dua go to him on both dates and every day Shukr to Allah ﷻ. His name is remembered everywhere, with people saying “May Allah ﷻ be pleased with him”, as people are reaching guidance insha’Allah.

Whoever is destined reaches guidance. Who are not destined, that is different. May Allah ﷻ give guidance to them, because Allah ﷻ doesn’t like those who detest Awliya of Allah ﷻ. “They are My beloved people. Whoever becomes an enemy to My Awliya, I will declare war on him,” says Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla in Hadith Qudsi. There are many people who love them, and many people who are ignorant. Therefore, may Allah ﷻ be pleased with those who love. And may Allah ﷻ give guidance to the ignorant ones.

Many people regret their actions in this world. Who regret in this world attain the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. Those who persist and don’t regret in this world will regret it in Akhirah. But the regret will be useless then. It is beneficial to feel regret in this world. It can be compensated. In Akhirah, there is no compensation. Therefore, may Allah ﷻ give mind and understanding to people. Many people say things out loud without thinking them over in their heads. That is why they suffer a loss, they suffer a big loss. As we said, we have a chance as long as we live in this world. There is an opportunity to reach the forgiveness of Allah ﷻ as long as we breathe. But if you go to Akhirah with it when you are out of breath, may Allah ﷻ protect you then.

May Allah ﷻ be pleased with our Shaykh. He served the Ummah for 92 years. He showed the beautiful way to people day and night for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. May Allah ﷻ increase his Maqam. As our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said, people are with those whom they love. They will be together in Akhirah, in paradise. This world is short-timed anyway. Ten years have passed, ten more years or even twenty years will pass easily. And we will get together in a blink of an eye in paradise insha’Allah.

We love them. We love Awliya’uLlah. We love our Holy Prophet ﷺ, his ﷺ Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah. We love all of them. And we don’t love those who are enemies to them. We don’t love those whom Allah ﷻ doesn’t love. Nothing can be done by force. Therefore, the matter of the heart, the matter of Islam and the matter of Iman is this. You must love whom Allah ﷻ loves. And you mustn’t love whom He ﷻ doesn’t love. It is not important if someone did this and that. Dunya is meaningless, Akhirah is important. May Allah ﷻ increase their Maqams insha’Allah.

We recited last night, and insha’Allah now as a gift to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim – We recited Qur’an Khatms, Yasin, Surahs, Tasbihat, Tahlilat, Salawat, Mawlid, Khatms of Dala’il al-Khayrat. We gift all of them firstly to the soul of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, souls of all Anbiya, Awliya, Asfiya and Mashayikh, especially our Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, the souls of Hajjah Anne and Hala Sultan, the souls of all our late relatives. May good goals of the reciters be reached. May we have strong Iman, abundance and Barakah. May we have guidance with firm Iman without the need for anyone insha’Allah. Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatiha.
