Mawlana Sheikh Mehmed Adil. Translations.

The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "In your prayers, always ask Allah for forgiveness and well-being." These are the most important things for a Muslim. Asking Allah for forgiveness, seeking pardon, is the primary and most important thing a Muslim should ask for. Allah is forgiving. If you repent and seek forgiveness from Allah, Allah will forgive you, will forgive everything you have done. So that door is always open. The door of repentance is open. The forgiveness of Allah is always open. All the prayers and repentances made to Allah are not rejected, inshallah. But humans neglect even this easy thing, the devil makes people do this. Such things are important things. It looks like a small prayer, but these are the prayers that will save a person. Their significance is great. The words of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, are light, faith, and beneficial in every way. The second thing that should be asked for in prayers is well-being, which means health. Health is also essential for a Muslim. Being healthy is important. A Muslim should take care of their health. Paying attention to what you eat and drink is important. If you harm your own body and become ill, both your worship and livelihood will suffer. The body that Allah the Almighty entrusted to you will be harmed. However, Allah the Almighty created everyone healthy. He commanded everyone to take care of their health. Taking care of one's health is not a bad thing. To say "I have become a dervish" or "I am a Muslim, I do not need to take care of my body anymore" is wrong. You need to take care of your body, it is a command. What you eat and drink. Now, in the end times, many of the things that people make us eat and drink are useless, things that harm the body. Pay attention to them so that your body supports you until the end of your life without having to depend on anyone. Then you will be always well, inshallah. May Allah help us all. In these days, in the end times, we are careful about what we eat and drink. Even though we are careful, they add various things even to vegetables and fruits. But there are also unnatural, abnormal drinks. If you have to drink them, drink little. Too much of them is harmful. Some people drink liters of them. This is not water; it is sugar. Pure sugar. The human body can handle only a certain amount of sugar. There is also an amount it cannot handle. Too much of anything is harmful. Even if it is beneficial, too much is harmful. We must pay attention to that. May Allah grant us all health and well-being. May He keep us independent and not in need of doctors.

Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, says that believers do not oppress. Oppression comes from disbelief. A person who believes in Allah oppresses no one, causes no pain to anyone. For Allah is merciful. People want to resemble Allah, the Exalted and Majestic. But oppression is not one of His attributes. Justice and mercy are attributes of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic. A believer should adopt these attributes and be just and merciful. No one is like Allah, but His attributes are virtues to be aspired to by humans. It is beautiful to resemble Allah in His attributes. Oppression is by no means an attribute of Allah. Justice is one of His attributes. Allah's attributes are beautiful. The path that the Prophet, peace be upon him, showed and taught us represents these attributes. Whoever follows this path attains Allah's pleasure. Whoever does not and oppresses, draws Allah's wrath upon himself. There will definitely be a punishment for that. Unless he repents. If he continues to oppress, this oppression will rebound upon him. Oppression brings no benefit to a person, but only causes harm. Oppression is any kind of injustice, rudeness, malice. Any wrongdoing, any malice towards people, and even towards the path you walk on with your feet, is considered oppression. Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, has given everyone a beautiful life. Whoever misuses his life oppresses himself and others. Therefore, one must be careful. The path of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, which the Prophet, peace be upon him, showed us, is a path full of light and justice, on which no oppression exists. Whoever follows this path enjoys a beautiful life both in this world and in the hereafter. May Allah grant us all this path. Let us not oppress anyone. And if we have oppressed, knowingly or unknowingly, may Allah forgive us all.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم أَتَأْمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلْبِرِّ وَتَنسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَتْلُونَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ (2:44) صدق الله العظيم You order people to do good but forget yourself. You think that you only give the orders and others must follow them. You tell others to do good and to fulfill everything that Allah wants, but you do not do it yourself? 'Can that be?' says Allah. No. When a person gives advice or an idea, he must do it himself as he tells others. Otherwise, only others benefit. He himself has no benefit and carries a burden upon himself because he does not do what he knows. Most people think what they do themselves is right. No matter what they do, it is good. There is no mistake. Only others have to do good things. Others must follow the advice and execute what is discussed. They themselves think they are better than everyone else. This is raising oneself and elevating one's ego. One must always let one's ego do good so that it does not think it is perfect. We must strive to make it better. We must strive to do better things. The advice one gives should first apply to oneself. It should first apply to oneself before it applies to others so that one accepts the truth. One should not do the false. One should not do the bad. One should do good. One should not do the bad. One must know this. Today, most scholars of the end times give people advice, but they do not follow it themselves. Even if one is not a scholar, one must know that the ego does not lead one to do good. We should first give advice to our own ego. We should listen to and give advice. We should follow it. We should act through advice. Let us not speak unnecessarily. May Allah help us all.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ٱدْعُونِىٓ أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ (40:60) Allah the Almighty says: Make supplications. So that I may respond to you and accept, says Allah. When you make supplications, first send blessings and peace upon our Prophet, peace be upon him, and at the end as well, so that these supplications are accepted. Some supplications are fulfilled, some are not, but when blessings and peace are sent upon our Prophet, peace be upon him, and when these supplications are made in honor of the Prophet, peace be upon him, they are accepted. Supplication is our weapon. The weapon of the believers is supplication. The effect of supplication cannot be imitated by any weapon. Therefore, it is always necessary to make supplications. It is a necessity. It should not be underestimated. When one wakes up in the morning, they can make various supplications throughout the day until the evening. Our Prophet, peace be upon him, has many supplications. There are the supplications of the Companions and those of the Mashaykhs. One can do all of them. One should do what comes to mind. For protection. Since we live in this world, people can cast evil glances upon us. People can cast envious glances upon us. People have envy. There are all kinds of evil from which one must protect themselves.

Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, speaks in the noble Quran. وَيْلٌۭ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ (83:1) Woe to those who give less [than due], who cheat in trade and tamper with the scales. In our time, such cheating is widespread everywhere. Cheating does not only occur in weighing; weighing is given as an example. People cheat, not just by a few grams but by three or five times as much. They oppress the people, the poor, and the needy. Their goal is, of course, to carry out the commands of the Dajjal (the deceiver or Antichrist). Such cheaters exist everywhere, here and elsewhere, but Allah will hold them accountable. Do they not believe that they will have to give an account on the Great Day? Do they not know this? Whether they know it or not: Those who commit such evil will have great difficulties in the Hereafter. Just as they caused difficulties for people in this world, they will experience difficulties in the Hereafter. The suffering and evil caused in the present time will not go unpunished. Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, will bring them to account. With what intention was it done? For making money? To cause difficulties for people? Their evil will not go unpunished. They will regret what they have done. The condition of the people is unprecedented. These conditions are not good. It is a punishment from Allah because people have forgotten Allah. It is a punishment for everyone. Those who trust in Allah and do not forget Him will come out unscathed from these difficulties. But those who forget Allah, follow their ego, follow Satan, will definitely regret it. They will regret it on a day when their regret will be of no use. May Allah protect us. May Allah protect us from our egos. What can be done, we are living in the end times. Conscience has disappeared. Compassion has disappeared. May Allah not take compassion out of our hearts. May Allah protect us. May the community of Muslims be guided to the right path. May everyone be blessed with the abundance of blessings.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وَلَا تَسُبُّوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَسُبُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَدْوًۢا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍۢ (6:108) صدق الله العظيم If there are people you don't like or who worship idols besides Allah, then do not insult their idols. For they are ignorant. And they will then also insult Allah, the Exalted. Insulting Allah is a great and severe sin. They are ignorant, therefore do not be the reason for their misconduct and that they insult Allah. For it is possible that they may later recognize the truth. If you try to fight against them and believe you are doing something good, you might be doing exactly the opposite. By inciting others to sin, you commit a sin. Do not spy on the misconduct of other people. It is better to keep away. Do not interfere in the misconduct. Do not provoke anyone against Allah, the Exalted. Act with wisdom, speak with wisdom. Possibly, by adopting an aggressive manner in trying to teach Islam or defend Muslims, you achieve exactly the opposite. People act according to their age and situation. Do not incite people to unknowingly rebel against Allah. When they come to their senses, they will regret their actions. Then they will ask Allah for forgiveness and mercy. Allah forgives. Allah is the Forgiving. Saying useless words brings no benefit. Speaking without wisdom brings no benefit. Speaking ignorantly also brings no benefit. Allah the Exalted tests people in many ways. Be vigilant, so you do not fail your test. Beware of being a reason that others do not pass their test. May Allah protect us. O Allah, guide us all.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ حِجُّ ٱلْبَيْتِ مَنِ ٱسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًۭا (3:97) صدق الله العظيم The commands of Allah, the Exalted and the Mighty, can be fulfilled by everyone as far as their capabilities allow. What are the commands of Allah? They are prayer, the pilgrimage Hajj, and the almsgiving Zakat. Everything that is obligatory and commanded must be done within one's capabilities. For the pilgrimage, one needs health and money. The same applies to the payment of alms. Fasting can be observed by those who are healthy. If someone lacks health, they can compensate for their fasting with donations. There is no excuse for not praying. Performing the prayer is a duty. Neglecting to pray is a sin. It is a sin. If one does not make up for it and delays it until the Hereafter, they will have a difficult time making amends there. But in this world, as mentioned, one must do what they can. Sometimes one is prevented from doing so. The one who stops you from fulfilling your duty commits a sin. Despite obstacles, a person must fulfill Allah's duties as much as possible. If someone does not fulfill their duty because they were prevented, the sin and guilt lie with those who prevented them. If someone cannot fulfill their duty because they are blocked, the guilt lies with those who do not clear the way. However, prayer should be fulfilled under all circumstances. Even if one can only lie down, they should pray symbolically with their eyes. No one can prevent prayer. No one can stop it. If you could not pray during the day, you can still make it up at night. If you are sick and cannot perform the ritual cleansing, then perform Tayammum and pray nonetheless. However, the pilgrimage depends on capabilities. The ways might be closed, which is why Allah, the Exalted and Mighty, said: مَنِ ٱسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًۭا That means it is obligatory for those who are able to do so. The pilgrimage has always been challenging and difficult, The difficulty of this time lies in the fact that permission is not granted. The fact that only a small number of people can enter for Hajj is an obstacle. This is a legal obstacle. If you cannot fulfill your duty due to such an obstacle that you cannot influence, it is not your fault but the fault of those who do not allow it. There is still one month until Hajj. Pilgrims will soon start traveling. May Allah bless those who can make the pilgrimage. May Allah enable all of us to perform this beautiful act of worship. The pilgrimage is not just a journey to perform the circumambulation around the Kaaba. It is also about having all committed sins forgiven. The person who goes on pilgrimage should, as the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, ask for forgiveness from his fellow humans before departing. If one has wronged someone or taken something without returning it, one must ask for forgiveness. One who begins and performs their pilgrimage in this manner will return in a pure state, like on the day of their birth. May Allah make it successful. May Allah open the way for those who have not yet performed Hajj. May Allah enable them to become Hajji.

This month is one of the sacred months, known as "Ashhurul Hurum". Dhul-Qi'dah, Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram. These months are the pilgrimage months, during which it is not allowed to wage wars. The month of Rajab also has a special status and belongs to these months. If attacked, one can of course defend oneself. This is something one must take into account from a worldly perspective. Spiritually speaking, valuable deeds performed in these months and days bring great rewards. These months are honored months: "Ashhurul Hurum". "Hurum" means venerable. In these months, bloodshed and warfare are forbidden. However, if enemies come, defense is allowed. Nowadays, however, no one has any humanity left. No one looks at religion. Nothing is taken into consideration. Oppression has reached its peak. Everything has its time of maturity. The world has also matured. After that, the Hereafter, the Day of Judgment, approaches. ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ (54:1) (54:1) Almost 1500 years ago, Allah announced in the Glorious Quran that the Day of Judgment is near. The Day of Judgment is near. It comes closer every day. One should take advantage of these blessed days. In these sacred months, it will bring great benefit to practice any kind of goodness, prayer, and worship and to avoid sins. Coming closer to Allah is the greatest benefit for humans. The greatest harm is being distant from Allah. May Allah protect us. May Allah keep us on the right path. O Allah, may these days be blessed for Muslims, for people in general, and for those who respect these months.

Thanks and praise be to Allah! The anniversary of Mawlana Sheikh Nazim was beautiful with Allah’s grace and help. It has now been ten years since Mawlana Sheikh Nazim physically left this world and transitioned to the hereafter. Now the eleventh year begins. Spiritually, he is always with us; with those who want to be with him. Spiritual connectedness is more beautiful because it lasts forever. People are with those they love. Forever does not mean the same as what people nowadays understand by "always". To say someone would live forever in this world is nonsense. The only thing eternal is the life in the hereafter, the eternal life. No matter how long someone lives in this world, whether a thousand years or two thousand years, no one remains in this world. The people of the past have all transitioned to the hereafter. They have entered the true life in the hereafter. Those who follow Allah's path have won. Those who leave Allah's path have lost. Pharaoh has come and Nimrod has come. Every kind of person has come. Good people have come, and bad. The good people have won. Those who follow them have won. Those who follow this path are wise people with understanding. Those who leave the path are in heedlessness. Their understanding is not complete. No matter who it is, no matter how educated someone may be, if they are not on Allah's path, their path is not a true path. Following them means eternal loss for the people. May Allah protect us from that. May Allah make the spiritual support of our sheikhs everlasting. Their actions and how they still guide people to the right path is evident. People from all over the world came to the memorial of Mawlana Sheikh Nazim. They received his blessings. May his blessings remain with us permanently. May he also bring guidance to other people. His path is a beautiful path, a path of mercy. He wanted people to follow this path of mercy. May everyone find this path. This is our prayer. O Allah, guide the people! O Allah, may those who are not on the path find the right path!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا لَعِبٌۭ وَلَهْوٌۭ ۖ وَلَلدَّارُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ (6:32) صدق الله العظيم Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, says that the life of this world is a play and a pleasure.   People think they are doing something.   But if their deeds are not on the path of Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, they have no value.   The good is the Hereafter.   A person can indeed live well, live joyfully, and also have fun, but within the limits that Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, has set.   If a person adheres to these, they will be much calmer and more content.   Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, has provided everyone with their income and destiny.   As long as they live, it will gradually reach them, and they will experience it.   Then the person will pass on to the Hereafter.   Allah says about the world and the people:   مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْغُرُورِ (3:185) The world deceives people.   The person says they will do something.   For that, they deviate from their path and turn to other paths to gain more benefit.   While wanting to earn more, regardless of whether they succeed or not, life does not stand still but continues.   Perhaps life doesn't end today, nor tomorrow, nor the day after tomorrow, yet surely one day it does! And behold, the person's life has passed without having done anything, but much worse, they have incurred harm to themselves.   This life is a set period for the people.   Life is something that Allah has created.   Both life and death are created by Allah; they too are creatures.   For everything, there is life and death.   Therefore, one must be cautious in life.   One must be with good people.   We are now living in the end times; the people of this time are greedy.   Many deceive people by saying: "This one became rich, that one became rich, so you can too!"   One out of a hundred thousand becomes rich from something, then everyone says: "This one made it, I can make it too." Then they all follow that path.   There are winners on this path.   The winners, however, are the fraudsters.   What they gain is no gain, but nothing but harm.   They do not know this.   The deceived person loses not only their livelihood but also harms their family.   Therefore, one must be cautious in their life.   Be content with what Allah has provided you and try to live with it; it will bring you blessings.   If you say, "I want to give one and earn a hundred for it," even that one will be taken from you.   There is an old proverb: "If you go to Dumyat to fetch rice, you lose even the millet you have."   Dumyat is in Egypt, and the rice in Egypt is famous.   You have millet in your hand and say, I do not want this, and throw it away.   Now, I will go to Egypt to fetch Dumyat rice.   But they do not give you rice there.   Then you stand empty-handed.   It was always so, but now it is even worse.   Fraudsters and swindlers are at a much higher level in our time.   Especially when they meet naive people, they suck their blood without mercy.   Even if it is a brother in a Tariqa, a Murid, a friend, or a Muslim, it does not matter; one must always be vigilant.   They can appear as Murids, as Alims, as Hodjas, or in any disguise to deceive.   They have become very advanced.   Therefore, it is not good to trust them.   Actually, one would immediately realize that they are fraudsters if they just asked around a bit.   Accept the advice.   Listen to the advice.   Some ask for advice: "How is this person?"   "This person is a fraudster, do not do business with him."   "You are saying this because you are envious of me, I will do it anyway!"   They do it, then they regret it.   May Allah grant us understanding and wisdom.   May Allah not give us our provision through these people.   If you allow yourself to be deceived by them, you not only lose your income but also cause them to sin.   Twofold harm befalls you.   The person you call a fraud is also a Muslim.   Be careful, so that they do not sin.   Do not give them an opportunity! Do not give yourself or them a chance to commit a sin.   May Allah help us.   May Allah protect us from committing sins.
