Mawlana Sheikh Mehmed Adil. Translations.

Praise be to Allah, that we were able to return to this blessed place, to our Dergah, to our Sheikh, and to the servants loved by Allah. We were granted to be here on the occasion of the blessed Mawlid month. Everything happens through divine ordination. Those who are destined to be here, come to such places. Those who cannot come, Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, withholds for a certain reason. Thanks be to Allah that it has been granted to us to come here again to receive blessings. May the blessings of this special month, in which our Prophet - Peace and Blessings be upon him - was born, rest upon all of us. For those who have come and for those whose hearts are here even though they could not come, Allah will give according to their intentions. Allah will fill their hearts with these gifts as well. He will grant them reward, wage, and all blessings. This month is naturally the birth month of our Prophet - Peace and Blessings be upon him. His birthday falls in this month. This day was of great significance for humanity. Just as the time before and after Jesus - Peace be upon him - represented a turning point, the appearance of our Prophet - Peace and Blessings be upon him - in the world was such a turning point as well. This was an act of great mercy of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, for humanity. "We have sent you as a mercy to all the worlds," says Allah, the Exalted and Majestic. Therefore, this blessed day is so important and significant for us. It is said that the Mawlid day in its significance almost equals Laylat al-Qadr. That means it is equivalent to it. Why? Because Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, at the arrival of our Prophet - Peace and Blessings be upon him - shook and destroyed all falsehood of disbelief as if by an earthquake, to announce his arrival and to teach the people a lesson. This symbolizes the collapse of disbelief. The fire that the Zoroastrians had worshipped for millennia extinguished on that night. Astonished, they asked: "What has happened, O Allah, the Exalted and Majestic?" Afterwards, the palace of Khosrow collapsed. Many other extraordinary events happened that night. They speak of three or five things, but thousands of miracles occurred on that night. On the night our Prophet - Peace and Blessings be upon him - was born. By the power of this event, the power of Islam, and the greatness of our Prophet, disbelief was shaken everywhere, its foundations trembled. It began to collapse. Even if it still seems to stand upright, its foundations are rotten. Before the greatness of our Prophet - Peace and Blessings be upon him - they will collapse. In the end, there will be no disbelief left in this world. Therefore, on this Mawlid day, there are some confused people. They say: "That wouldn't be, this wouldn't be." They commit all kinds of mistakes. About that, they say nothing. You should celebrate Mawlid, recite the Quran, honor our Prophet. This angers them. Satan has deceived them. He has deprived them of the reward. Thanks to Allah, our highest form of worship and obedience is to honor our Prophet - Peace and Blessings be upon him - to show him respect and to follow his path. This is for us a wajib, no, even farḍ. It is farḍ! This is recognized by all followers of the Sunna and the community, the scholars, the ulema, and the saints. Those who do not accept this have already gone astray, deceived by Satan and yielded to his whisperings. We will not pity those who do not believe in this veneration. They have been deceived, after all, what can be done about it. May Allah guide them. May Allah grant them wisdom and insight. Thanks be to God, these misguided people often return to the right path. As soon as they return, they bring other misguided ones onto the right path as well. They say: "We did not know about this treasure for so many years." "We held it in our hands, but thought we were carrying stones. Only now do we realize what treasures were hidden within." Thus, through Allah's wisdom, some are led to guidance. They then guide others as well. May many people be guided through the blessing of this Mawlid. For there are many who practice Islam without due veneration for our Prophet. May Allah grant them guidance. The more Satan has deceived them, the more he rejoices over it. May Allah free them from his clutches. May they also find the right path for the honor of our Prophet. May Allah bless these days for all of us. May Allah shower his blessings upon us. May He increase the love for Him in our hearts. Peace be upon our Prophet.

Today, on the occasion of the blessed Mawlid in the month of Rabīʿ al-awwal, we will travel to the Maqam of Mawlana Sheikh Nazim. This Mawlid celebration, which Mawlana Sheikh Nazim also honored throughout his life, has a special place in our hearts and in the hearts of all Muslims. We must not forget that. On that day, the Divine Light entered the world, into the universe. Although there was light before, the world was especially honored by the birth of our Prophet. It was blessed. Without him, it would be worthless. Our Prophet teaches us that the value of the world lies in the valuable ones. It is said, "The honor of a place lies in the one who inhabits it." This means the dignity of a place depends on the one who resides there. This is a wise statement. Therefore, this gathering is a gift from Mawlana Sheikh Nazim to the community and all Muslims. For gathering there, remembering Almighty Allah, and honoring our Prophet, is done for the sake of Allah. Allah will reward it. Some unreasonable people call this Bid'a. They themselves commit all sorts of mistakes. They commit all sorts of sins. That is not a problem then. As soon as Allah is mentioned, they say Bid'a. When blessings are sent to the Prophet, they call it Bid'a. These people are unfortunately abandoned by luck. Whoever listens to them or pays them heed will also be unfortunate. May Allah protect us from that. Never doubt this. Doubt comes from the devil. The devil whispers suggestions. He corrupts the hearts of people. Our religion, Islam, means reverence for our Prophet. It is admiration for our Prophet. It is nothing else but that. Whoever does not practice this puts themselves in danger. Such a person has no true faith. They are Muslim only by name. The Prophet, peace be upon him, says: There are people who have recited the Quran a thousand times. They know everything, but what they read does not go beyond their throat. It does not reach their heart. It remains only on their lips. We should not be like that. How can we be different? If you honor and revere the Prophet, you are more acceptable than those, even if you have less knowledge. True faith will be in your heart. May Allah grant us all this faith. May He also grant it to other people. For a Muslim wishes good for others as well. A Muslim wishes good and guidance for others. Good means believing in Allah and venerating the Prophet with blessings and greetings. May Allah bless this month for us. Next year, we will celebrate it even more joyfully, with the victory of Islam and the arrival of Mahdi, peace be upon him. May Allah grant it to us.

Today is the blessed Friday, the first Friday in the month of Rabi' al-awwal. Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, has given our Prophet the best of everything because he is the most beloved servant of all worlds. Our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was given the best of everything. Friday is considered the Sultan of the week. It is the most excellent of all days. This blessed day was also given to our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as a gift. On this day, there are many blessings, benevolence, and gifts from Allah, the Exalted and Almighty. There is an hour of acceptance. Our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, says that it is not known exactly when this hour is on Friday. Therefore, it is important to pray. On this day, the prayers are surely accepted during this hour and are accepted both in this world and the hereafter. Even if the prayer of a praying person is not accepted in this world, he will experience the benefit of it in the hereafter. On Friday, one should especially pray for all good purposes in this world. May everything turn to good. May evil and bad things turn to good so that we can attain Allah's grace. The world is a place of trial. May Allah not impose upon us any trial that we cannot bear. Most people are not grateful for their state, although they have the blessings before their eyes. They are dissatisfied with their situation. Human condition is truly strange. Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, has created humans to correspond to His will. This too is a test. There are many tests. Compared to the torments our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, endured, ours are insignificant. If we take him as a role model, the trials of this world become easier to endure. The trial is not only for you but for all people. However, the best thing is to have been created as part of the community of our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, during this time. This is the greatest blessing and grace. Unfortunately, people are not aware of this grace. Even those who know it cannot fully do it justice, but Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, judges by the intentions. This intention is to attain the intercession of our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Through him, we will hopefully be saved. We cannot be saved by our deeds alone. Thank Allah, we are part of his community; this is a great grace. Because what our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked Allah for is the intercession for his community; To save his community from Hell. Therefore, we are blessed with great grace. Our trials are insignificant compared to that. These are the greatest gifts our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, has given us. It is the greatest gift that Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, has granted us. The world passes anyway with trials, but our hereafter is secure. For those who follow our Prophet and love him, the hereafter is certain. There is no doubt about that. Thanks and praise be to Allah. For creating us as part of the community of Muhammad.

Once again, thanks be to Allah, that the blessings of this holy month are revealed. In the month of Rabi' al-awwal, these blessings and mercies pour forth in honor of our Prophet. Those who revere and love him benefit from it. Whoever loves the Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him - is victorious. Who is the true lover? The one who loves Allah, the Almighty and Exalted. And who does not love the Prophet? It is Satan. Once, the companions captured Satan and brought him before our Prophet. Our Prophet asked him many questions, including: "Whom do you hate the most?" Satan replied: "You." For he could not lie there. Therefore, those who do not love our Prophet are in the company of Satan. And Satan is destined for Hell. There is no salvation for him. The only way to escape Hell is to love our Prophet. Whoever does not love him is inevitably destined for Hell. For we cannot save ourselves through our deeds alone. Our Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him - said: "No one will be saved by their deeds alone." The companions asked: "Not even you, oh Messenger of Allah?" He replied: "Not even me." This shows how significant this issue is. Yet many people are unaware of this. Not just a few, most people do not know this. They even show hostility. They speak ill of our Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him. Yet Allah himself has elevated his renown. People may speak as they wish. Whoever speaks against him only harms themselves. Whoever follows him lives the most fulfilling life. Both in this world and in the hereafter, where with Allah's permission, they will attain Paradise. Therefore, the love for our Prophet is of utmost importance. We must revere and respect him. He, our Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him - shows us the way. He taught and exemplified this for us. Loving is not a hard task. Loving is something beautiful. Our love benefits us. It benefits everyone. May Allah increase the love in our hearts. Through His love, all evils cease. Through His love, blessings and mercy come. With Allah's permission, every kind of beauty unfolds. May Allah be pleased with us. Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet.

Blessed be the holy birth month Rabīʿ al-awwal of our Prophet, how beautiful is his name as well. It is considered like spring, as the first spring month. It is the blessed birth month of our Prophet. Everything about him is blessed. The blessings come into the world through our Prophet, through his light. The love for the Prophet depends on the people's faith. The Prophet says: "Who does not love me more than himself, his mother, his father, the world, and everything else, has no true faith." One can be a Muslim, but it is more important to be faithful. Faith comes through the love for the Prophet. People without love and respect for him have no faith. Those who embrace Islam say, "La ilaha illallah Muhammadun Rasulullah," but they have not yet attained faith. Their faith comes only through the Prophet, peace be upon him. Through love for him, respect, and reverence for him, our faith becomes stronger. Otherwise, our faith remains at the lowest level. There is, therefore, no faith. A person then has no faith without the love for the Prophet, peace be upon him. ...لا يؤمن أحدكم Thus speaks the Prophet, peace be upon him. That means, whoever does not love me more than himself, his family, his parents, his children, and the world, has no faith. One can be a Muslim, but as said, the level of faith is important. The stronger the faith is, the better everything will be for the person. Everything will be easy for him. Everything becomes perfect through love for Allah and the Prophet. May Allah not take this faith and love from our hearts. Show the Prophet, peace be upon him, respect and reverence. May this love grow day by day. Let us not follow those unreasonable people. They say, "He is just a human like us." He is a human like you, yes, but as Imam al-Busayri said, the Prophet is like a ruby. A ruby is also a stone. But all other stones in the world are not as valuable as a single ruby. Yes, he is also a human. He is like us, but his worth surpasses all worlds. May Allah grant us his intercession. May our love for him grow.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ (21:107) Our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was sent by Allah as a mercy for all the worlds. Today is the last day of the month of Safar. With the evening, the birth month of our Prophet begins. May the blessing of this holy month lift the heavy burden of Safar from us. May this month bring about good. This year was quite difficult. Last year, there was not so much oppression. With each passing time, the oppression increases. But to compensate for that, Allah has made the birth month of our Prophet a month of mercy, just as he himself represents mercy. It is a month of mercy. It is a month of blessings. The more blessings we invoke during this month, the more we receive the greetings of our Prophet. Because every time we invoke blessings, our Prophet says: "I return your greeting with Allah's blessings and peace." "Wa alaykum salam, I have received your greeting," thus our Prophet will respond to our invocations of blessings upon him. Whether ten, five, a hundred, or billions of people invoke blessings, Allah has given our Prophet the ability to respond to all. Therefore, it is good to invoke many blessings, but in this month, it is even better to do so more frequently. It is always good, but especially in this month in honor of our Prophet, from the Maghrib prayer today, this month begins according to the Arabic calendar. Thanks be to Allah for these gifts; we must be grateful. Our Prophet turns towards you. Many people wish to see the Prophet, to behold him in a dream. Meanwhile, the Prophet turns towards you at every moment you invoke blessings upon him. Knowing and believing this is obligatory for us. It is not a Sunnah or voluntary action, but an obligation: To love and honor the Prophet. Because we live in a time where people have become slaves to the devil. They say something and believe they have become the greatest in this world. They become so arrogant that they feel even greater the more disrespectful and impertinent they are. Meanwhile, they become smaller and lower. Whoever honors the Prophet, Allah also elevates them. Whoever does not honor the Prophet has no value. Not the slightest value. May Allah protect us from that. May Allah make this blessed month full of blessings. May this month lead to good. May Allah save all the people who are suffering from oppression.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ یُحِبُّونَ أَن تَشِیعَ ٱلۡفَـٰحِشَةُ فِی ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِیمࣱ (24:19) صَدَقَ الله العظيم Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, says: Those who wish for the spread of evil among people will face a painful torment. There are people who go astray from the right path. Not only do they go astray themselves, but they also want to drag others into the abyss. They believe the more souls they lead to ruin, the greater their gain. But that is a delusion. Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, will punish them separately for each soul they misled. There are many harmful and unnecessary people. How should one deal with them? Do not engage with them. Do not take them seriously. Do not respond to them. Nowadays, everyone expresses their opinion on everything and spreads it. Some try to pick up and refute the words of unknown people. By doing so, you only plant their poison in the minds of the people. Afterwards, you try in vain to limit the damage. Do not get involved with it at all. Do not respond to such people. Do not pay attention to them and steer others away from them as well. This is of great importance. If you say, "This person speaks ill of Islam, of Tariqa, of our Prophet or the Sahaba," you are unknowingly making a big mistake. You do not even know the person you are talking about. May Allah protect us from this. By doing so, you might even lead others astray because you spread their vile words. Therefore: Do not engage with such people under any circumstances. Do not respond to them. Ignore them completely. Whatever they may say, simply reply: "I do not know this person." I do not know most people. Why are you telling me about unknown individuals? Who could that be? I do not know him anyway. How do you come up with this? Why are you telling me about people I do not know? Alhamdulillah, we have neither time nor interest to react to that. Do not feel the urge to respond to them. Because people are naturally curious. Those with weak faith could lose their faith through their vile words. May Allah protect us from that. Therefore, do not make bad people known. Do not give them any attention. Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, and His angels will respond to them. It is not your task to react to it. Leave it hidden, do not uncover it. Do not bring evil to light. Do not spread evils among people. May Allah protect us. May He protect us from the harm of such people.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا (94:5-6) Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, proclaims that with every difficulty, there is also relief. After hardship comes ease for those who trust in Allah. This world is burdensome; the hereafter will be easy, God willing. This is the case with everything. This is the case with everything. The month we are currently in, Safar, is a difficult month. In three days, God willing, the Mawlid month, Rabi' al-awwal, will begin, in which our Prophet was born. This is one of the most beautiful months. Through its blessings, people, the Muslims, will find relief after these trials. Those who love our Prophet and believe in him. Among the 124,000 Prophets, our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is the only one whose birth date is actually known. Our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is the only Prophet whose birthday is actually conveyed. The Christians, however, accept December 24th as the birthday of Jesus, peace be upon him. Even this date, they have falsely established. It was the emperors who declared Jesus - God forbid - as the son of God, who determined this day. They conformed to this decision and declared this day as Jesus's birthday. From the very beginning, they have built their religion on lies. The true religion is that of our Prophet. Everything about it is evident. Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, has revealed everything to mankind in the finest detail. So that they may follow Him. However, Satan has led most people astray. May Allah protect us from this. Being part of the community of Prophet Muhammad is the greatest honor. All Prophets yearned to attain this honor. Jesus also prayed to Allah to be part of the community of Prophet Muhammad. This prayer was answered, and he will return as such. They claimed they killed him, but they did not kill him. Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, raised him to the heavens. In the end times, he will return, eliminate all disbelief, and all will reside on earth as the community of Prophet Muhammad. May Allah grant us all these blessed days. This is the path to the imminent salvation of humanity. Nothing else. May Allah bless this month and the coming month. May this month end in goodness.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إِنَّ شَرَّ ٱلدَّوَآبِّ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلۡبُكۡمُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعۡقِلُونَ (8:22) صَدَقَ الله العظيم Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, reveals to us who the worst creatures are: those without understanding or those who do not utilize their intellect. The disbelievers, who deny Allah, are the most reprehensible creatures. For everything in the universe praises Allah, glorifies Him, and acknowledges Him. Those who reject Allah are considered the most wicked creatures. Because they are the worst creatures in the eyes of Allah, they spread only corruption among mankind. Even if they claim to do good, evil lurks within their supposedly good deeds; there is no goodness in them. A creature that turns away from Allah is far from all that is good. They are estranged from humanity, goodness, and any form of beauty. Therefore, the righteous people who are close to Allah become His beloved servants. The servants whom Allah does not love find no affection among people either. For when Allah declares, "I love this servant," people also love him. Conversely, if He says, "I do not love this creature," people also turn away from them. No matter how much they claim to love, their love is merely self-love. The love for Allah is of a completely different nature. The love of the ego is worthless. It has neither permanence nor benefit; it is utterly meaningless. Nothing remains but evil. Allah has endowed us with intellect. Intellect is an ornament. The true adornment of a person is their intellect. Allah gave us intellect to recognize what is right and true. Those who understand this, their actions will be righteous. Their path is leveled and blessed. Whoever misuses their intellect for selfish purposes misses its true essence. It is pure waste. May Allah protect us from this. Therefore we pray: "May Allah grant us intellect and wisdom." With intellect and wisdom, wonderful things happen. A person without intellect cannot be a good person. Someone who has lost their intellect is taken to an institution or other arrangements are made. May Allah protect us from this. May Allah grant us all strong faith.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وَقُلۡ جَآءَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ ٱلۡبَٰطِلُۚ إِنَّ ٱلۡبَٰطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقٗا (17:81) صَدَقَ الله العظيم Allah, the Exalted, proclaims: "The truth has come." "Falsehood has perished." This is Allah's holy word. It is the truth. Therefore, the truth will prevail. No matter how much they fight against it, how much they try to deceive people - those who are meant to be deceived will be deceived. Those who don't fall for it will stand on the side of truth. Falsehood will perish. It will end up in the trash. It will end up in the waste. It will be worthless. That's just how it is. Since Adam, peace be upon him, the truth has been evident and will remain so until the Day of Judgment. Those who follow their ego and act as they please will perish along with falsehood. The followers of truth will triumph and continue on this path. Sometimes people ally themselves with falsehood and Satan. They put everything into it. One might think they have gained the upper hand. But far from it. Whatever they do, they cannot prevail against Allah. If they were wise, they would stand on Allah's side. They would be on the side of truth. For humans learn from what they see. From Adam until today, truth has always prevailed. Truth has triumphed. Falsehood was defeated. Falsehood has never endured. Truth will last forever. Hold on to the truth. Do not turn away from the truth. Do not follow your whims and say: "This is our way, this pleases us," and run after falsehood. It will perish with falsehood. May Allah protect us from that. May Allah grant people the wisdom to use their minds, for those who use their minds stand on the side of truth. Those who do not use their minds are foolish, even if they think themselves clever. May Allah protect us from that. May Allah protect us from our ego.
