Mawlana Sheikh Mehmed Adil. Translations.

We thank Allah, the Almighty, that He has made this meeting possible for us and has granted us this time together. Today is, Allah willing, the last day—for everything has an end. But this end does not apply to the believer; it continues on a spiritual level. Even if we are not physically here, we remain spiritually connected with our souls. Allah, the Almighty, has created mankind, but as for the soul... Only He alone knows about that. No one knows the true nature of the soul. This is one of His secrets that remains hidden from us. When you connect spiritually, you are—thanks to Allah—not only connected with us but also with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and all the saints who are with you. You must know this. Follow the commandments of Allah. Hold firmly to the way of Allah. Do not abandon it. Then you will be happy. Secure and content. Sometimes there are... Separations because one cannot always be together. One cannot be with other people all the time. But you do not feel this separation when hearts and souls remain connected. This connection leads you to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and to Allah, the Almighty. Allah willing, this was a blessed meeting. May Allah bless you. Be cautious of the turmoil of these times. Do not argue with people who have no understanding and show no respect for the Prophet (peace be upon him). When you hear such people speak, do not stay with them. Wherever you are, keep away from these people, for Allah, the Almighty, does not love such people. Allah loves those who show respect and good manners and who love the Prophet (peace be upon him). Allah mentions the love for the Prophet in the Quran. You should not associate with people who do not accept this. For if you stay with them, more discord and doubt will arise within you. Perhaps you might even follow them; one never knows. If your intention is pure and you keep away from these people out of love for the Prophet, Allah will increase this love and bless you. Do not be sad but rejoice that Allah has guided you to the path of His beloved, Allah willing. May Allah protect us from this discord. These turmoils of the End Times are normal, not abnormal. It is completely normal. Happy is he who does not follow this discord. May Allah grant guidance to all. That is what we ask for. May Allah protect us from Satan and his followers. May Allah grant us a reunion, if He wills. May Allah give us health and prosperity, make us dependent on no one, and grant us all happiness in this world and in the Hereafter, Allah willing.

There is a famous quote by Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi: "Hamdım, piştim, yandım." - "I was raw, I was cooked, and now I am burned." The meaning behind this is: "Initially, I was inexperienced. Then I matured. I am no longer immature, but matured." "I burned" ultimately means that I have been completely purified. This actually describes the life journey of believers. In the beginning, they are inexperienced and naive. They know nothing yet. Over time, they mature. The phase of ignorance ends, and they have learned. Everyone should take this path; one should not remain immature. From youth, they learn step by step and eventually become mature people. For followers of the Tariqa, this process has a deeper meaning. For them, it means taming the ego, freeing oneself from bad qualities, and living purely for the pleasure of Allah. Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi expressed this with these words: "I was raw, I was cooked, and now I am burned." That is, he completely overcame his ego. He became someone who was sincerely pure and solely for Allah. No trace of his ego remained. That is what the Tariqa teaches people. Not to say: "I am this, I am that." The most important thing is to tame the ego while still in this world, before going to the hereafter.

Allah, the Exalted, loves the generous. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in essence: Allah the Almighty loves a sinful person who is generous more than a servant of God who prays a lot but is stingy. Allah, the Exalted, is generous, and He loves generosity. Generosity is one of the sublime attributes of Allah the Almighty. Whoever wishes to attain the pleasure of Allah, the Exalted, should take His beautiful attributes as a model. However, we must know that there are attributes such as exaltedness that are reserved exclusively for Allah the Almighty. These attributes belong to Him alone. There are also attributes that can never be ascribed to Allah, the Exalted. Such attributes are not even befitting for humans; they are of satanic nature and cannot possibly be ascribed to Allah the Almighty. In contrast, noble attributes such as generosity and mercy are also appropriate for the servants of Allah. We should take these attributes, which are suitable for us, as an example. The special attributes of Allah, the Exalted, remain reserved for Him alone. We must understand this distinction well. For some people mistakenly think that it is right to imitate all the attributes of Allah the Almighty. In this regard, ambiguous expressions should not be used, as is the case in some languages. Take, for example, the word "Creator". The Creator is only Allah, the Exalted. Some say: "Humans can also create something." Yet the attribute Al-Khaliq (the Creator) is reserved for Allah the Almighty alone. There are many such examples, but the most important thing for us is to be generous. May Allah, the Exalted, forgive us our sins, grant us His mercy, and be pleased with us. May Allah the Almighty make us among those whom He loves, insha'Allah.

The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: أدبني ربي فأحسن تأديبي The Prophet, peace be upon him, is the best person to ever exist. Sayyidina Muhammad, the Prophet, peace be upon him, is our role model. He's saying, "Allah taught me the best manners and behavior." Throughout his life, the Prophet, peace be upon him, respected everyone, regardless of age. He was always polite, setting the best example. During the Prophet's time, people weren't generally well-behaved. So he transformed all these people into the best versions of themselves. Of course, we're talking about the Companions, the Sahabas, but this transformation was one of the Prophet's miracles. He changed them from being ignorant and ill-mannered to becoming exemplary individuals who were beneficial to the community, obedient, respectful, and well-behaved. It is narrated that, when our Prophet, peace be upon him, was sitting with his companions, they would be as silent and still as if there were birds on their heads. They would not talk, stir, or make the smallest gesture. They remained completely silent and motionless, focusing solely on the Prophet (peace be upon him), eager to learn from him and follow his instructions. This is how they behaved, and they respected one another. Many Muslims today forget the most crucial aspect: respect, good manners - adab - or the tariqah that teaches proper conduct. May Allah help us develop manners like the Prophet (peace be upon him). We should all strive to be like him. Alhamdulillah, followers of the tariqah behave this way, but some people who claim to be Muslim and teach Islam lack respect and good manners. May Allah teach them proper conduct, insha'Allah. May Allah grant Muslims the understanding to distinguish between right and wrong, insha'Allah.

فَاسۡتَـبۡشِرُوۡا بِبَيۡعِكُمُ الَّذِىۡ بَايَعۡتُمۡ بِهٖ Allah the Exalted gives glad tidings about the pledge of allegiance (Bay'ah). The Bay'ah is very important for the connection of the believers with the Prophet, peace be upon him. Anyone can be a Muslim, but being connected is more important. Thus, the Tariqa is a chain that leads to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and to Allah the Exalted. We promise to be on the path of Allah the Exalted and His Prophet, peace be upon him; Just as Allah the Exalted has commanded. For this, Allah the Exalted gives us glad tidings: ‎بِشَارَة "Bishara" means glad tidings for the believers. Millions, billions of people do not care about attaining the pleasure of Allah the Exalted and being on His path. Nobody. Only very few people seek this path. Being on the path of Allah the Exalted is a grace from Him. Therefore, whoever is on the path of Allah the Exalted is blessed. People are not interested in the path of Allah the Exalted. They chase after worldly things, novelties, and other occupations. They pursue various strange occupations. These things are not important. They will gain no benefit from these occupations. The most important thing is the spiritual connection to the Prophet, peace be upon him. The connection to the Prophet, peace be upon him, is a great grace from Allah the Exalted for you; that is your Nasib, your destiny. What does Nasib mean? Nasib is what Allah the Exalted has decreed for His servants. Praise be to Allah! We are on the path of Allah the Exalted and follow Him to the best of our ability. We try to follow the Prophet, peace be upon him. May Allah the Exalted bless you. May Allah the Exalted protect you, your families, your neighbors, your descendants, your land, and all Muslims on this path.

إِنَّمَآ أَمۡوَٰلُكُمۡ وَأَوۡلَٰدُكُمۡ فِتۡنَةٞۚ (64:15) Allah the Almighty says in the Holy Quran that your children and your wealth are a reason for testing. This test can be both good and bad for you. If you follow the commandments of Allah the Almighty, it will be good for you and not bad. For the gifts that Allah the Almighty gives are intended for your benefit in this life and the hereafter. You must pay attention to everything—without neglecting anything—for the welfare of people, Muslims, and believers. Everything must be sincere for Allah the Almighty. If you do that, don't worry. Allah the Almighty will put everything in order and make it easier for you and your family. Because nowadays families don't know how they should behave. The family should be as Allah the Almighty has prescribed: One should respect the parents, help them, and serve them. But nowadays the parents serve the children. Although the children are grown up, the parents serve and help them. As a result, the children no longer have responsibility and nothing for which they have to be grateful. You have to raise them properly. But today's system makes the children like this: No work for children, don't send them to work. In school and everywhere, you can't tell them anything. You can't say, "Do this, do that." You are only supposed to serve them. You have to take care of them. In the past, a child was mature as a man or woman at fifteen years old. They stood on their own feet. But now there is first elementary school, then middle school, high school, university. Everyone has to complete all that. And what do they learn in the end? They learn nothing at all. Then they complain: "Our children are not good; they don't care about us. They are not satisfied with us." Of course, if you give everything ready-made, what is left to make them happy? This is a state of the End Times. In the past, there was only one school: Whoever could study, studied. For those who couldn't study, there are many other jobs in life. Now a 30-year-old is still like a baby. And that is not good. You should not give everything ready-made. Now they even give unintentionally. When we give, we should wait a bit so that they appreciate the value when they get it. Now we give, and they say: "What is that! That is not a good brand. That is a cheap brand. Why did you buy that?" They even get angry with you. Allah the Almighty has shown us examples from our ancestors. They all taught how to live life. Now there is nothing left. They just give everyone a phone and say: "Here, play with it so that you don't get bored." Let them be bored sometimes. Boredom is also useful, not bad. Now there is not even time for boredom. Maybe you will pray when you are bored, read the Holy Quran or a useful book. But now there are only games and entertainment. This entertainment will not last forever. One cannot live in constant entertainment. Of course, you are happy when you are entertained. But constant entertainment is like an animal that eats only straw every day. May Allah the Almighty protect our children, protect us, and give us guidance so that we become as Allah wants.

Our Prophet (peace be upon him) wishes for us to enter Paradise. The first thing he said after his birth was: "My community, my community. Oh, my community." "Oh Lord, protect and save my community." He cared for his community. The Prophet (peace be upon him) receives and returns the greetings of those who send blessings upon him. When you offer blessings upon him, he returns them to you. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever sends a blessing upon me, Allah blesses them tenfold for it." Therefore, sending blessings is a very meritorious act for the believers. The more blessings you send upon the Prophet (peace be upon him), the more reward you receive and the more your light increases. Light is very important because Allah the Exalted created everything that exists through the light of our Prophet. If you have no light, your value diminishes in the presence of Allah the Exalted. And our goal is to have value in the presence of Allah the Exalted. That is very important. May Allah the Exalted make us steadfast on this path. Sending blessings is very important for the believer—it is the cornerstone of all blessings.

The way of our Prophet (peace be upon him) is our way. Perhaps some do not know it, but in fact, the Tariqa and the Sharia are two parts of a whole. They cannot be considered separately. If you want to strengthen your faith, you should try to follow both the Tariqa and the Sharia as best as possible. These two complement each other. When you join a Tariqa, neither Allah, the Prophet, nor the sheikhs will impose heavy tasks on you like carrying stones on your back. Essentially, the Tariqa consists of following a spiritual guide connected to the Prophet (peace be upon him). Since the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him), all companions were devoted to him from the heart. The generations that followed the companions were likewise connected to the Prophet (peace be upon him). But over time, even back then, some began to claim that a spiritual guide or a Tariqa was not necessary. Ultimately, these people either realized the truth and joined a sheikh, or they went astray and distanced themselves from the Sharia. Perhaps these people were only respected and esteemed during their lifetime. But after their death, no one paid attention to them anymore; their ideas were forgotten. Unfortunately, centuries later, some of their ideas were picked up and spread by malicious people. These ideas caused discord among Muslims. Our unity and togetherness were damaged. Especially after the end of the Islamic Caliphate, the situation worsened. Some did not want the Caliphate because under the Caliphate there had to be justice. Without the Caliphate, it is very difficult to ensure true justice. Therefore, the situation deteriorated even more after the abolition of the Caliphate. In the last times of the Caliphate, about one hundred fifty or two hundred years ago, some began to claim that their communities served Islam. These people had no real spiritual connection. Even if they had good intentions, their efforts were mostly unsuccessful. In the end, many went astray and unfortunately also led other people astray. Especially in the last thirty to forty years, the situation has increasingly deteriorated. Muslims have doubts about the followers of the Tariqa. People no longer know whom they can trust. These people try to portray good people, true followers of the Tariqa, in a bad light. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) predicted that in the last times of the community, the Dajjal would come. The Dajjal will move with his army from east to west and call people to believe in him. He will say: "For those who believe in me, this is paradise, this is hell," and thus deceive people. For those who believe in him, the place that is actually hell will appear like paradise. For the unbelievers, the place he calls paradise will actually be hell. Today, some people try, just like the Dajjal, to portray good as bad and bad as good. They deceive people by presenting bad as good. Therefore, many people are deceived by them and move away from the right path, from the Tariqa. They say they only want the Sharia, but in reality, they even sow doubts about the Sharia. They say: "We do not want any schools of jurisprudence." Yet the schools of jurisprudence are an important part of Islam. They say: "We read only from the Quran; we know that." They say: "We can issue fatwas." They say: "Every fatwa we give according to our own opinion is correct." This is very dangerous because issuing fatwas is not as simple as one might think. It requires great responsibility. Do not think that issuing fatwas is easy. When you issue a fatwa, you take on a great responsibility. In history, even great scholars hesitated to issue fatwas or become judges. But today, some people see no problem in issuing fatwas on every topic without sufficient knowledge and without consulting anyone. This situation creates more discord and disunity among Muslims. When discord arises among Muslims, Satan rejoices. For Satan wants people to go to hell. That is his goal. What makes Satan happiest is to lead people astray from the right path and drive them into hell. Sometimes people whom you consider good believers, good Muslims, can suddenly stray from the path. The reason for this is that these people have no real spiritual connection. Furthermore, it may be because they do not truly have good intentions. Those who follow these people are exposed to the same danger. No matter whom you follow, you must be sure that this person really has good intentions. What should our intention be? To be true servants of Allah and the Prophet, to help Muslims, to show them the right path, to give them love and every kind of support they need. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) even said that a smile for a Muslim counts as alms. Alms mean reward from Allah. For Muslims, there is no good deed without reward. Why do some people not like the Tariqa? Because the Tariqa clearly shows the beauty of Islam, its goodness, and the right path for humanity. Some do not like that. The Islamic Tariqa is the best example of how people should behave humanely. It teaches us true humanity. In the Tariqa, values like justice, mercy, and helpfulness are at the forefront. It teaches us to be good not only to people but also to nature, animals, water, stones—in short, to everything. Islam and the Tariqa offer comprehensive guidance on how to live from birth to death. They guide us in all areas of life. Islam not only teaches all these beautiful qualities but also encourages their application. This is not something that remains only in theory, as some hypocrites and humanists claim. Islam wants you to put into practice what is taught. While some remain only with words, true followers of Islam and the Tariqa implement what they say. One of the teachings of Islam and the Tariqa is: "lā darara wa lā dirāra," which means, there should be neither harm inflicted nor harm tolerated. This principle teaches us: Do not harm anyone, and do not allow anyone to harm others. Inflicting harm is absolutely unacceptable in Islam, in the Tariqa, and in the Sharia. One of the most fundamental principles in Islam is justice. The most important thing in Islam is justice. Unfortunately, justice is a very important value that we have lost nowadays. Not only the Islamic world but the whole world has largely lost justice. Large and small communities, individuals, everyone... Because injustice is so widespread that people have begun to consider it normal. It is hard to imagine how widespread justice was at the time of our Prophet (peace be upon him) and especially during the time of Sayyidina Omar. In those times, justice was the foundation of society. Sayyidina Omar was famous for his justice. His understanding of justice was a model for all Muslims. Not only Sayyidina Omar but all caliphs were known for this justice. This understanding of justice continued until the end of the Ottoman Empire. Unfortunately, the first thing the enemies did when the Ottoman Empire fell was to abolish the Islamic legal system. For a thousand years, the Turks rendered great services to Islam. During this long time, they contributed to the spread and protection of Islam. During these thousand years, the Turks practiced Islamic justice carefully. Throughout the world, the Turks were known for their just rule. Even those who did not like the Turks admired this justice. Especially the justice of Süleyman the Magnificent, one of the most powerful Ottoman sultans, was legendary. The justice of Süleyman the Magnificent was famous not only in the Islamic world but also in Europe. Everyone spoke of his just rule. They call him "the Lawgiver," meaning one who follows the law, who respects the laws. This epithet reflects his understanding of justice very well. This understanding of justice lasted until the day they were forced to abolish the Caliphate. In this new era that began after the abolition of the Caliphate, many things changed... After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, perhaps forty new states emerged on its territory. These states were told: "You must abolish the Caliphate and, more importantly, you must end this Islamic legal system." Because the Islamic legal system was the most just legal system humanity had until then. And when they ended this system, not only the Islamic world but the whole world lost true justice. This situation leads to many problems, misery, and all kinds of evil. Because when Allah is not pleased with people, He does not give them blessings and mercy. That is, for over a hundred years, the situation has been getting worse every day. This is a long-lasting process of decline. Once someone asked Sheikh Nazim: "Will the situation perhaps improve tomorrow or later?" Sheikh Nazim replied: "No, it will not improve." The situation will get a little worse every day until Sayyidina Mahdi comes and restores justice. Only then will there be a real improvement. Insha'Allah, all these difficulties will end when Sayyidina Mahdi comes. May Allah be pleased with us and not lead us astray from the right path. May Allah send Sayyidina Mahdi soon, for there is no more hope in the world from anyone. Now they are talking about the elections in the biggest and most powerful country in the world. But when you look at the candidates in these elections, there is no one you can really trust. Most candidates either behave like clowns or are in a pitiable state. There is no one anymore whom you can trust or about whom you could say: "That could be a good head of state." Previously, you might have been able to say, "This candidate could be good" or "That one would be rather bad." But now this applies not only in this country but all over the world. Insha'Allah, this time will end and a new era of conquest will begin. May Allah send Sayyidina Mahdi soon, Insha'Allah.

Our gathering is for the pleasure of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted. Our intention is to meet with you so that Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, is pleased with us. We gather in this blessed assembly for the sake of Allah's pleasure, the Almighty and Exalted. Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), we are happy to be here again. Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, has given us the opportunity to come here again. We meet with you for the pleasure of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted. We are happy about that. Our goal in life is to please Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, the Prophet (peace be upon him), the Sheikhs, and the friends of Allah. If you can achieve that, it is a great grace from Allah, the Almighty and Exalted—the highest grace. For we live in a time in which we, as humans, cannot distinguish between right and wrong. Many people think they are on the right path, but then they realize that this path is not the right one. Alhamdulillah, the Awliya (saints) show us the way of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and enable us to follow the way of the Prophet. The way of the Tariqa means the way of the Prophet. That is very important because the way the Awliya show us is the way of the Prophet—it is his Sunnah. As followers of the Tariqa, it is very important that we give importance to the Sunnah of the Prophet. Those who follow the way of the Prophet and implement his Sunnah will not deviate from the right path. We must pay special attention to this command of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "You must follow me, my Sunnah, and the rightly guided Caliphs after me, namely Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali. Following them means fulfilling my Sunnah." They lived the way of the Prophet and acted according to his Sunnah. Whoever follows the Sunnah will not deviate from the right path. Now, in this end time, you see: For many years, many people have appeared who claim to be the true Muslims and draw people behind them by convincing them. Those who do not follow the Sunnah will neither attain blessings nor the pleasure of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted. Why? Because they do not follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Sunnah is very important; it is no joke. We should follow the Prophet (peace be upon him) as best as we can. There are many Sunnahs that one can practice. In every life situation, down to the smallest detail, there are Sunnahs to follow. You may not be able to fulfill all of them. But you should pay special attention to the Sunnahs of prayer: The Sunnah of Fajr, the Sunnah before and after Dhuhr, the Sunnah of Asr, the Sunnahs of Maghrib and Isha. Many people do not pray the Sunnah prayers or do not pay attention to the Sunnah at all. "It's just a Sunnah. It is not a sin not to practice it. It is not important," they say. But yes! The Sunnah is important. Following the Sunnah is more valuable than all the gold and diamonds in the world. For every Sunnah that you follow here, you will be rewarded in Paradise; your rank will be elevated, and you will find more blessings and happiness in Paradise. What happens if you abandon the Sunnah? Your faith, your Iman, decreases. Satan calls: "Come, follow me." People follow him, abandon the Sunnah, forget Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, and leave their religion. Thus, Satan deceives the people. "Do not follow the Tariqa. Do not follow the Sharia. Follow me," he says. What does Satan command? "Two Rak'ahs of Fard prayer are enough. The Sunnah is not necessary." Reward is not necessary. Everything that is not Fard is not necessary. "Just do what is Fard, and it's enough," they say. No, it is not enough. It is not enough for Muslims. The more one can take, the more beneficial it is. In this life, everyone is chasing after profit. Everyone loves profit. Everyone loves gain. We, as Muslims, also love benefit and know the true benefit: It is the Hereafter, the true life. If the profit of this life does not help the Hereafter, it is not a benefit but harm, loss; Not gain, but loss. Imagine you have a billion in this world but cannot use it. That is a great loss. But on the other hand, you have nothing in this world. Yet your intention in life is: "I live and work for Allah. I take care of my family and children to attain the pleasure of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted." If you live with this intention, it will benefit you both in this world and in the Hereafter. But if you do not pay attention to living for Allah, it will be a loss for you. This gathering is a blessing and gain for all of us because we have gathered for Allah. Alhamdulillah, we come from far away. When we see you happy here, it makes us happy too. When a believer makes another believer happy, Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, is pleased with him; the Prophet (peace be upon him) is pleased with him; the friends of Allah are pleased with him. That is the beauty of the Tariqa: Making people happy and being sincere for Allah, the Almighty and Exalted. Everything should be for Allah. The Almighty and Exalted says in the Holy Quran: قُلۡ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحۡيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ (6:162) لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُۥ ۖ وَبِذَٰلِكَ أُمِرْتُ (6:163) "Say, 'Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds. He has no partner. And thus I have been commanded.'" (Surah Al-An'am 6:162-163) Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, says this in the Holy Quran as a description of the life attitude of the Prophet, peace be upon him. Our way, the way of the Tariqa, is the way the Prophet has shown—namely, to surrender to Allah with everything. That is the way. But now people confuse many things, as I said, and only seek something that satisfies their ego and follow that. It is now a difficult time in the world, both for Muslims and non-Muslims. Many things are happening, but we cannot do anything about it. What can we do? Focus on yourselves and make yourselves better people. That is a command of the Prophet (peace be upon him). And pray that Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, helps the Muslims and protects us from all evil. Do not follow people whom you do not know. You follow them, thinking you are on the right path, but they cause you pain. Allah is not pleased with them. Muslims follow such people without knowing the truth. That is the ignorance of the Muslims. But whoever follows a Murshid, a true teacher, a true scholar, will know. There are thousands of true scholars, but people do not listen to their teachings or sermons. Unfortunately, they only listen to the words of some misguided persons, youths, and children who are against the Tariqa, the Ahl al-Bayt, and the Sahabah. No respect, no manners, no good behavior. That is what they teach. On the other hand, there are thousands of scholars who teach the truth, but unfortunately, no one listens to them. The truly happy ones are those who follow the way of the Prophet and are with them—not with those who try to turn people away from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the friends of Allah. May Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, protect us.

فَسِيۡرُوۡا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ (3:137) Allah the Exalted commands: "Travel through the land." See the dominion of Allah the Exalted on earth. Draw lessons from it and benefit from it. He says, be of benefit to the people. There are different types of travel. There are travels for worldly purposes and travels for the ego. There are travels for the sake of Allah's pleasure. God willing, this time we will travel to distant lands for Allah's pleasure. In these countries, there are both Muslims and non-Muslims. The Sheikh has guided the hearts of the people on this path. They continue on this path. The beautiful seeds he has sown are growing and multiplying. It benefits humanity. This path is the path of Allah. It is a grace from Allah the Exalted for the people. Of course, there are also Muslims, but sometimes people deviate from the path or do not follow certain things. Praise be to Allah, the Tariqah is in harmony with the Sharia. Our journey serves to demonstrate this path together. It will benefit us and them. Man lives for the hereafter. The world is the field of the hereafter. What you sow here, you will reap there. Praise be to Allah, people who are too immersed in the world and think of nothing but the world are awakened through this opportunity. They continue on Allah's path. They do not place too much importance on the world. They use the world for the sake of Allah's pleasure. That is also necessary. We should use the world not only for worldly purposes but to remember the hereafter. وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (51:55) Allah the Exalted says: "Remind." This reminder will benefit and be advantageous to the people. May Allah grant us success in this. May it be a means for new people to be guided and to find Islam. May we benefit the people by reminding them of the hereafter and enlightening their hearts. As for the benefit, we have nothing. We are only a means. It is the way of the Sheikhs. Through them and their influence, this beautiful path reaches the hearts of people all over the world as light, as the light of Islam. May Allah be pleased with you all. May more people come to this right path. For the path of the devil appears easier. It appears easier for your ego. But its ease is not good. Whoever follows his ego will be with his ego. Whoever follows the path of Allah the Exalted will win. May Allah make us all among the winners.
