Mawlana Sheikh Mehmed Adil. Translations.

Based on the wisdom of Allah, the human ego is ungrateful and does not appreciate value. The ego does not want to acknowledge its Creator, claims that everything happens by itself, and shows neither gratitude nor a sense of responsibility. This is the nature of humans. At the beginning, man is in a raw state. But if Allah nurtures this person, bestows good qualities upon him, and guides him to the right path, he will benefit greatly both in this world and in the hereafter. This benefit is for the person himself. Allah is the one who gives. The Giver needs no one. Allah is the Giver. He gives without expecting anything in return. وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍۢ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ (51:56-57) Allah says that He created humans and jinn so that they may serve Him and do good. He does not ask for provision or food from them. Allah has no needs. Allah needs nothing. One of His attributes is that He has no needs. Humans should be grateful. To recognize the value of His bounties, Allah shows many examples in the Holy Quran. There is a place called Saba in Yemen. There was an abundance of everything. Food, drinks, fruits, vegetables—everything was plentiful. But they turned against Allah. They denied Him. They became unbelievers. Consequently, Allah was angry with them. Allah was displeased with them. He turned their prosperity into fear, hunger, and misery. Because they did not appreciate the value of the bounties. They did not honor the bounties. They took everything for granted and thought it would last forever. But if you do not appreciate the bounties, they will be taken away from you, says the honorable Prophet, peace be upon him. It is narrated in a Hadith that the Prophet, peace be upon him, saw a small bread crumb in the house of the honorable Aisha. The Prophet, peace be upon him, took the crumb, blew off the dust, and ate it with his blessed mouth. This Hadith teaches us a valuable lesson. Our Prophet, peace be upon him, showed us how we should act. He also explained the wisdom behind it: Be mindful to recognize the value of the bounties, he said. Once a bounty is lost, it is difficult to get it back. A bounty, wealth, or other values are rare and precious. If they are taken away, it is difficult to regain them. Therefore, if you recognize the value of the bounty, it will stay with you. If you do not, you will be chasing after it your whole life. There are countless rich people. They squandered their wealth, believing it would last forever. They did not know the value of the bounty. They did not honor it. They did not treat it properly. They lost it. This person was once rich. Once rich, and now? What are you doing now? I am chasing after a business matter. If this matter works out, I will make a lot of money again. Well, good luck with that! But you will not succeed. Allah once gave to you. You did not recognize the value. You lost it, and it will be difficult to get it back. This is the great secret of success in life that our Prophet, peace be upon him, has shared with us. Value the bounty, do not lose it. Our ancestors said: "Do not wait until the well dries up." Draw as much as you can from the well. Do not delay. Do not say, I will draw later. The more you draw, the more it flows. If you do not draw, it dries up. Therefore, it is important to recognize the value of the bounty. We see how the world is. There was so much abundance, but because no one recognized its value, now everyone is struggling to survive and facing many problems. Why is this happening? As our Prophet, peace be upon him, said: It happens because we do not recognize the value of the bounty and we lose it. May Allah make us among those who recognize the value. Whoever recognizes the value of the bounty, recognizes the value of the Giver. The bounty is valuable. The Creator of the bounty is valuable, the most valuable. Therefore, we must show appreciation. May Allah make us among those who recognize the value.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِۦ صدق الله العظيم We ask Allah, the Exalted, to protect us from excessive burdens. May Allah assist us and not impose upon us burdens that we cannot bear. This wonderful revelation was given to the honorable Prophet, peace be upon him, during the Night of Ascension (Miraj) by Allah, the Exalted. In this verse, Allah, the Exalted, explains that He imposes on humans only the burdens that they can bear. The obligations that Allah imposes on humans are acts of worship and charitable deeds. A human should perform these throughout their life. A human did not come into the world without purpose. The duties that Allah, the Exalted, imposes on humans are made bearable by His wise foresight. He has imposed acts of worship and charitable deeds as obligations on humans. A human must carry these out. It is not necessary to do anything beyond this. If a person can do something additional, that is good and right, but it is not an obligatory duty from Allah. Whoever does something beyond Allah's commands acts on their own initiative. Even if it is an additional voluntary good deed, one should be mindful to do only as much as they can. A person is not obligated to do something they cannot accomplish. Allah, the Exalted, does not burden humans with unbearable loads. What a person is to endure is imposed only in a bearable measure. If they are patient, they will be rewarded. But if they are impatient, they will still receive a reward if they are faithful, but not to the same extent as the patient. Then their reward will be less. If they do not believe in Allah, the Exalted, they will receive nothing at all. In vain! They suffer both in this world and in the hereafter. One must follow the commands of Allah, the Exalted. As far as we can, may Allah help us. And for what we cannot accomplish, may Allah forgive us. When we ask for forgiveness and plead for Allah's mercy, we should know that Allah's mercy is a boundless ocean. This immeasurable mercy does not distinguish between small or large. After a person shows repentance, Allah, the Exalted, forgives. Some people complain that they cannot bear much. Yet we often see that the world is not as a person wishes. There are often many difficulties. Since Adam, peace be upon him, there have been difficulties. You find no peace or rest in the matters of this world. Outwardly, there are constant difficulties. But spiritually, a person gains great benefit in the face of these difficulties. Things in this world are difficult. But if you are content with what Allah, the Exalted, has given you, it will benefit you. We pray to Allah not to expose us to unbearable burdens. Allah, the Exalted, is merciful. With this prayer, you live without problems in this world and also attain well-being in the hereafter. This prayer is answered. There is no doubt about this. It is good and meritorious to know that everything has a reason and to always ask Allah for relief. May Allah protect us all. May He not impose upon us unbearable burdens. May Allah preserve us. There are many difficult things. May Allah protect us.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم مِّنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌۭ صَدَقُوا۟ مَا عَـٰهَدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ (33:23) صدق الله العظيم Allah praises the believers who keep their word. Keeping promises is a virtue of the believers. When one gives a promise to someone, they should keep it; this is a characteristic of true believers. Keeping promises is a virtue of the believers. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said about the believers: When he speaks, he speaks the truth. When he makes a promise, he keeps his word. When something is entrusted to him, he treats it with care. These are the characteristics of a believer. Believers should possess these virtues. Of course, all Muslims should act this way, but believers should be particularly careful. Who are the believers? Those who follow the path of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and seek to come closer to him; those who follow the Tariqa should especially cultivate these qualities. One should not break their word under any circumstances. Keeping promises is the fundamental quality of the believers. Whoever claims to follow the Tariqa but lies, does not keep promises, and is unfaithful, is not truly following the Tariqa. This person does not belong to the Tariqa but shows the characteristics of a hypocrite. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said that a hypocrite has three characteristics: When he speaks, he lies. When he makes a promise, he does not keep it. When something is entrusted to him, he does not return it. There are two types of people. Either you are a hypocrite or a believer. There are only these two. Therefore, it is important to keep your promises. In every aspect. People trust you and help you. If you are unfaithful, you also put people in a position where they appear as liars. You embarrass them. Because they considered you a respectable person and they helped you, they made efforts to do good to you. If you then do not keep your promises, lie, and commit every kind of betrayal, then you are not only not a believer but also directly exhibit the characteristics of a hypocrite. Later, may Allah protect us, you will become a complete hypocrite. The hypocrites are in the lowest level of Hell. فِى ٱلدَّرْكِ ٱلْأَسْفَلِ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ (4:145) The deepest level of Hell. Hell also has levels. The lower you fall, the worse it gets. It gets worse. Therefore, do not lie. Do not make false promises. Do not commit betrayal. Keep what is entrusted to you. The followers of the Tariqa should be especially careful about this. People trust the followers of the Tariqa. “This person is a good Muslim, a follower of the Tariqa, they can be trusted.” This is what people think about the followers of the Tariqa. If you do not keep your promises and do not respect what is entrusted to you, then you have betrayed both the Tariqa and the Messenger and Allah, and you have deceived people. May Allah protect us. May Allah protect us from the evil of our egos and such situations. Nowadays, there are many people who think they are clever by deceiving others. This is not cleverness but foolishness. They will bear more harm than benefit. The things acquired in this way are not blessed. This wrongful gain will be a burden for you in the Hereafter, for which you will be accountable and punished. May Allah protect us.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ (17:70) صدق الله العظيم Allah created humans as the noblest creatures and granted them His grace. To enable them to do all kinds of good, He sent them prophets. That is, He showed them what they should do. When Allah created humans, the soul of the human initially existed. Only Allah knows the nature of the soul. What is the soul? Only Allah knows that. قُلِ ٱلرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّى (17:85) Allah says: I alone know the soul. Do not listen to anyone who claims to know what the soul is. Do not get close to such people. They will only confuse you. They will weaken your faith. Therefore, stay away from people who talk about such topics. Avoid the company of people who talk about such topics. There are some topics that one can talk about. One can talk about various things. But the soul is a topic that surpasses human understanding. Stay away from it! Avoid this topic. Allah has also created an ego within humans. Allah has countered the ego with conscience and the trait of mercy. A person with a conscience does not follow their ego. The ego can take any path. It can choose both good and bad paths. But the conscience is the good part of the human. It shows good things and leads humans to do good things. Conscience is stronger in people who believe in Allah. True conscience and mercy are found in believers. Even though other people might have a conscience, it is stronger in those who have fear of God. If you want to be a conscientious person, you must know that a person with a conscience fears Allah. Is what I am doing good or bad? Does what I am doing to this person fit my conscience? Am I at peace with my conscience? The conscience asks: “If I cause harm to this person, what will happen?” and prevents the person from doing evil. It says: Do not do injustice, do not be cruel. Do not deceive this person, do not harm them. Do not slander this person. Do not do injustice to any human or animal, help them. If you cannot help, at least do not harm them. The conscience keeps the human away from evil deeds. The conscience makes the ego gradually get used to doing good. The conscience leads the ego to be merciful and choose the right path. The conscience is within people who follow the commands of Islam. People without faith, who do not heed Allah's commands, rarely have a strong conscience. Allah has created everyone with a conscience. Whoever listens to and follows their conscience will eventually find the right guidance. People with a conscience usually see the truth, believe in the truth, and eventually find the right guidance and follow Allah's path. Being a person with a conscience is a great blessing for a human. It is a great virtue. A person with a conscience is also well-liked by other people. They are honored. On the other hand, people avoid someone who is known to be cruel, conscienceless, and immoral. They flee from those who follow their ego and the devil. Traits like conscience and mercy elevate a human. They increase the person's prestige. They make the person loved by Allah. When Allah loves someone, everyone honors and loves them. On the other hand, no one loves someone whom Allah does not love. Even if it seems like they are loved, it happens only for selfish reasons. Otherwise, no one truly respects them. Nowadays, there are many such people in the world. Many people believe they are loved. They have possessions and wealth, they are affluent. But in truth, people do not respect them, they respect their possessions. They have no respect for the person themselves. If they had no money, no one would respect them. No one would pay attention to them. May Allah protect us. May Allah make us among the good, among those who are on the right path, among those who are beloved by Allah, inshallah.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. And He created everything, and then determined it precisely. (25:2) Allah, the Almighty, speaks the truth. Allah is the Creator of everything. Allah has created everything with wisdom. There is nothing without wisdom. Among the creations, there is good, bad, pure, and impure. There is all sorts of things. Allah has created everything with wisdom. His wisdom lies with Him. Allah has also created the night and the day. He has created summer and winter. He has created warmth and cold. The Creator is Allah. In everything, there is wisdom and benefit for man. Whoever seeks this wisdom finds both wisdom and benefit. Now it is the hot summer time. Heat in summer is normal. Allah has determined that some countries are constantly in summer. In other places, there are different seasons. According to Allah's wisdom, He has provided sustenance to people in countries with few seasons accordingly. He has given them food and drink. According to the seasons, it is hot in summer and cold in winter. Man complains without understanding the wisdom. It’s too hot! It’s too cold! Man is never satisfied. However, what happens at the right time is good. What happens at the wrong time is not good. Cold in summer is not good. In summer, it must be warm. Even if man feels uncomfortable or even pressured by the heat, this heat in summer is exactly right. Allah has determined heat for the summer accordingly. It is necessary to be patient. Complaining won't help against the heat. One should be patient and thank Allah. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, referred to this verse in the Quran regarding heat: Say, "The fire of Hell is far hotter." (9:81) The heat of Hell is much more burning. Whoever is patient in this world will be saved from Hell in the hereafter. These are things that are beneficial to man. The human body sometimes also needs heat. Likewise, it also needs cold. Allah has created everything with wisdom and in the best way. We must thank Allah for what He has given. For what is inappropriate, we must be patient. Last winter, it was not cold. When it is not cold, everything is a bit different. We also call this Allah's wisdom. We cannot intervene in this. The whole world is at a high technological level and advanced in many respects. Can they do anything against it? No, they cannot. They cannot oppose Allah's will and His divine system. All these things happen as Allah wills. When they happen at the right time, they are good. When they happen at the right time, they are good. The things that man should do in his youth are specific. And the things that he should do later in his life are also specific. In all matters, one must act according to the time and the requirements of the time. May Allah help us. May Allah make everything good. May everything lead to something good. And may Allah reward us for our patience.

In the eyes of Allah, the faith of Islam is valid. All prophets were sent to humanity with this religion. The fundamental principle at all times is: Worship Allah, be on Allah's path, enjoin what is good, and forbid what is evil. This is the foundation and principle of religion. But there are details. The Sharia basically remained the same with every prophet but showed differences in the details. Sharia means law. Islamic Sharia encompasses laws both in religious and societal aspects. Sharia means law. The Sharia differed in details from one prophetic community to another until our beloved Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came. In his last sermon, his farewell sermon at Arafat, our Prophet said: "Today, your religion is perfected for you." The Sharia, the religion of humanity, is now complete, with no more changes. Our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is here. After him, no one else will come. People will follow this faith, this Sharia, until the Day of Judgment. In earlier communities, there were some differences in the details of Sharia and faith. Recently, on our trip to Europe, we visited a place. There was a monastery for monks there. Speaking was prohibited there. There was one hour a day when they were allowed to speak to each other. We went to another place. There was another monastery for other monks there. Our brothers and sisters, children, everyone was talking all at once. A priest came, but said nothing. Then we later learned that it was a time when, according to their rules, they were forbidden to speak. That's why they remained silent for two hours. Our people made a lot of noise. The man was polite and said nothing, explaining it later. Such things sometimes exist in their Sharia. Prophet Zechariah, peace be upon him, said to his people on Allah’s command: "I will not speak now, I will remain silent." On Allah's command, engage in prayer and do not speak. These things were all, of course, abrogated. Abrogated means that this kind of prayer no longer exists in Islam. There is nothing that prescribes complete silence. Of course, you can be in retreat and devote yourself to the remembrance of Allah. If necessary, you can withdraw, refrain from worldly conversations, and pray. But that is something that rarely happens. Such an ordinance no longer exists. For Muslims, there is no such commandment anymore. Our task is to follow the path of our Prophet. During the time of our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, three people came. One said: "I will never sleep. I will pray all the time and never sleep." The other said: "I will fast continuously and never break my fast." The third said: "I will never marry." When our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, learned of this, he said to them: "I sleep and wake up. I fast and I also have days when I do not fast. As for marriage, I marry. Those who follow my Sunnah belong to me. Those who do not follow this Sunnah are not accepted." Our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, illustrates this to the Ummah as a lesson so that people do not act according to their own discretion. Believing to do good, one may not be doing anything good, but merely satisfying one's ego. "I did this; not even the Prophet did that," one might stray onto false paths. One could fall into the greatest sin and guilt. May Allah protect us from that. Our religion is simple. The religion is for all of humanity. The Sharia will endure until the Day of Judgment. Of course, there are interpretations and schools of thought in detail. A person cannot determine the religion according to their own discretion. Today, some people even reject the hadiths. They say: "You have to look at the Quran. Do what the Quran says." Even if you read and study it, you do not truly understand. How can you presume to understand the Holy Quran? That is a trick of the Devil. May Allah protect us from that. Follow the schools of thought and the path of Tariqa, and do as much as you can. But Sharia remains Sharia. You cannot deny it. If you cannot practice it, that is another matter. But to deny the Sharia, that is not acceptable. May Allah protect us from that! In that moment, you will fall into great sin and guilt. May Allah keep us all on the right path.

Our Prophet, peace be upon him, was created by Allah in the best manner, both externally and in his behavior. Our Prophet, peace be upon him, teaches us the most beautiful things. What he teaches us makes us true human beings. He guides us on the path of perfect humanity. Those who do not follow him gradually abandon this path. They lose their humanity. One of the beautiful things our Prophet, peace be upon him, taught us is to visit the friends of our father who are good people, maintain contact with them, and show them respect. This is also among the advices of Islam and our Prophet. Good people are rare. The good people whom your father and ancestors knew will share similar good character traits and dispositions. These traits will also be passed on to you and your descendants. Therefore, good people should not separate from each other. They should stay in contact and be together as often as possible. They should not forget each other. This is very important. People today do not value anything anymore. The things and people they value are useless. People have become evil. When you associate with them, you also adopt their traits. Even if you have good traits yourself, you lose them because you imitate harmful people and adopt a state you later regret. It will harm you both spiritually and materially. For being with bad people also harms you. No one benefits from being with bad people. Those who are with the devil never win. The devil says this quite openly: I will harm you. Allah informs the people. I will mislead them and habituate them to evil, says the devil. I will make them enemies to each other. Allah wants good people to be together. Be together, do not separate, commands Allah. Therefore, one of the most important things is to maintain the relationship with the good friends of the parents and relatives, show them respect, and stay in contact. May Allah protect us. When the traits of bad people pass on to someone, people lose a lot in this process. The lost things cannot be regained. May Allah bring us together with the good people. May Allah always let us be with the good people. When you are with the good people, you will be with the good not only in this world but also in the hereafter.

Allah, praised and exalted be He, sent our Prophet as the last prophet. One of the signs and characteristics of prophethood is to predict the future. The Prophets were given knowledge from Allah, praised and exalted be He, to report on the future. Prophethood means Nubuwwah – prophecy. It means to look into the future and report about it. In the Holy Quran, there are many verses that report on the future and show it. Some people understand them, while others do not. But this verse, which we read during the khutbah, clearly shows where we will go. Allah, praised and exalted be He, says that we should take precautions. Man says: I control the world. Everything is in my hand, I control everything. Nothing can affect us. Man has stopped believing in his Creator. People say, we control everything. But one night or day We will make everything they are proud of level with the ground and make it appear as if nothing existed yesterday, says Allah, praised and exalted be He. Our command has manifested. Allah's command will manifest! Do not be deceived by the state of this world, do not believe that you control everything and do not forget Allah, praised and exalted be He. Everything is in the hands of Allah, praised and exalted be He. Everything can disappear in a moment. When everything disappears, do not disappear yourself. At least have good deeds with you when you return to Allah. Ensure that you save them. Otherwise, you will perish with those who are against Allah. Nothing in this world will remain. Do not make your hereafter a disaster as well. These days are the last days of the world. Everywhere we see strange things happening. Previously unthinkable things are happening. People are being deceived by them and follow the misguided. Those who believe and follow people who are not on Allah's path will perish. A rational person would not do such a thing. Those you follow are also just humans like you. You follow him; but in the end, neither you nor he will remain. Therefore, be with Allah, praised and exalted be He, who is eternal. Do not be with those who end, die, and disappear. Those who will disappear are those who are against Allah, praised and exalted be He. Do not be with them and do not disappear with them, says Allah, praised and exalted be He. Allah gives you this advice and this warning. But who listens to advice and warnings? No one. As the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Every day will be worse than the previous one. Every coming day will be worse and not better. Worse both in faith and in every other aspect. People were better before, now they are getting worse. And yet people do not learn from it. They continue. Although if they realized and sought refuge with Allah, they would win. If they do not seek refuge with Allah, they lose on both sides. It brings them no benefit. The right path is the path of Allah, praised and exalted be He. This is the path of salvation. The world is coming to an end. Even if the world lasts longer, your life will certainly end. Some say, the Day of Judgment is not yet near. There is still much time. You say, there is still much time left, but do you think you will live until the Day of Judgment? If these people used their mind, they would have won. Allah has given them a mind. But only those who believe in Allah use their mind. Those who do not believe in Allah unfortunately do not use their mind. May Allah give people understanding.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Knower of the unseen and the seen. (59:22) Allah the Almighty has spoken the truth. Allah knows both the hidden and the visible, the obvious. Even what is hidden from us is part of Allah's knowledge. What we know is nothing. Compared to Allah's knowledge, our knowledge isn't even nothing; it is the nothing of nothing. Allah knows and understands everything. He has created everything in the best way. Some people say: "I have studied this, I have learned that, I know secrets." There are many who claim: "These secrets are unknown to anyone, only I know them." True scholars and true saints would never make such claims. True scholars and true saints share the knowledge Allah has granted them with people for their benefit; but compared to Allah's knowledge, this knowledge too is nothing. Even this knowledge is nothing compared to Allah's knowledge. Allah has created everything with His wisdom. The secrets rest with Him only. Some of these secrets He will reveal to people on the Day of Judgment. But even these secrets are not even a drop compared to the oceans of Allah's knowledge. Actually, we can't even make a comparison with oceans because Allah's knowledge is infinite. We cannot set any limits, for Allah's knowledge is infinite. There are secrets destined for us but still incomprehensible to us. These will be revealed by Allah on the Day of Judgment. There are also things concealed by people themselves and kept as secrets. These too will become apparent on the Day of Judgment. You can't hide anything. All secrets will be disclosed. What you have done, whom you have harmed or benefited, everything will come to light. In the times we live in, no one understands what is really going on. Everything is chaotic: the devil plays with people as he pleases. People rejoice and believe that their secrets remain undiscovered. These secrets will all come to light on the Day of Judgment. Then everyone will have to give an account. Allah will also reveal other beautiful secrets on the Day of Judgment. People will then understand. Of course, even these secrets are not even a grain of dust compared to Allah's knowledge. Some people get very excited when they hear the word 'secret'. They are curious and wonder what this secret might be. Many people are led astray by following those who claim to know secrets. We were not commanded to pursue these secrets. Some people lead others astray by talking about secrets and justifying their misguidance by saying it's a secret. There are many groups that mislead people from their rightful path by saying: 'You must follow this person. He knows the secrets.' Secrets are not our concern. If there are such secrets, Allah will reveal them on the Day of Judgment. We will see it then. Our task is to continue on the path the Prophet, peace be upon him, has ordered us to. Our duty is to pray, to fast, to perform the pilgrimage, to give alms, to do good and to avoid evil. We should stay away from sinful things. All of this, as the Prophet, peace be upon him, has ordered us, we should carry out. There are many people who say, 'We have a secret. We follow a very special, different path than the obvious one of the Prophet. Those who listen to these people will join them in ruination along with these so-called secrets. On the Day of Judgment, these secrets too will be revealed. Then they will realize that what they did brought no benefit. May Allah protect us. Humans are curious to learn such hidden things. Allah has given us this curiosity. It is in the nature of man. We should be cautious with such curiosities. It does no good to plunge into ruin for unnecessary things. May Allah protect us. May Allah protect us from mischief-makers and their evil.
