Mawlana Sheikh Mehmed Adil. Translations.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم فَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَهْدِيَهُۥ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَـٰمِ ۖ وَمَن يُرِدْ أَن يُضِلَّهُۥ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُۥ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًۭا (6:125) صدق الله العظيم When Allah Almighty wishes to guide a person and it is His will, He opens the person's heart to Islam. That person's heart opens up, becomes happy and light-hearted when it hears Islam. When Allah Almighty does not wish to guide a person, that person's heart and chest become constricted. That person's heart becomes tight and he is adverse. These people are misguided. This is the wisdom of Allah Almighty. His wisdom is beyond human understanding. He does as He pleases, and leaves what He does not want to do. You can object or let it be. His decision is paramount and effective. The decision belongs to Him. One does not interfere in His matters. Sometimes some people see others and say, 'Why are these people so obstinate, hostile towards Allah?' Their hearts are sealed. It means that Allah has sealed their hearts from Islam. Their hearts are in difficulty. They never feel relief. The person whose heart is full of joy and lightness, is the believer with an open heart. The believer's heart is relieved. The disbeliever, the enemy of Allah, is always in distress and sorrow. The person loved by Allah is the believer. Allah Almighty meant good for him. No one can oppose His will. No matter how much you torment or oppress the believer, the believer does not give up. Because Allah loves him. He has given him that grace. He has given him the grace of guidance. It's the greatest grace. The pleasures of the world are useless and worthless if they are not in the way of Allah. All that those who are in His way do, is good and blessed. It also earns them merit and reward. May Allah make us among them. May He determine this beautiful way for us.

Praise be to Allah, we thank Allah that through Mawlana Sheikh Nazim's blessings, Islam is spreading. Muslims are finding their way back to Islam. And he is helping new people to find Islam. Through his spiritual power and blessings, many people are finding new guidance, thanks to Allah. Without his spiritual strength and his blessings this path would be taken. This path is the path of Allah. Allah guides his beloved servants onto this path. Those whom Allah guides are Allah's chosen people. He makes his beloved servants the cause for others to find guidance. There have been many beautiful experiences on this journey. Many people do not have the means to travel to us here. Allah rewards us for visiting them. They will also be rewarded for it. We have met with them. Meeting with them gives both us and them spiritual strength. Without spiritual strength, things are meaningless. Our journey was not a tourist trip, it was aimed at attaining Allah's pleasure. To earn Allah's pleasure; that should be the aim of everything. As this is for the pleasure of Allah, the reward will be beautiful and magnificent. All should have the goal of attaining Allah's pleasure. It's all about being on the path that Allah desires of us. Today we have returned. Allah has blessed us to make the journey safely and to return safely. We thank our brothers, sisters and friends, the beloved people there. May Allah be pleased with them. May they continue to contribute strongly to helping other people find guidance. Because of their community, their circle of friends also find guidance through them. They are a light of guidance there. They help the people there to find the right path. May our beautiful path always exist by Allah. May Allah give us strength. May Allah protect us from the evil of Satan. We live in the end times. There are many temptations and misguidances. The evil of the Devil has grown. There are also human devils. They are even worse. May Allah protect us from them. May Allah send us Mahdi Alayhissalam. May all people find guidance.

Prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, said: إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ وَإِنَّمَا لاِمْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى In everything you do, it's your intention that matters. Allah will reward you according to your intention. If his intention is truly for doing things for Allah and the Prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, then his intention will be accepted. If your intention is for worldly gains, such as getting married or benefiting from something else, it will be considered as such, not for Allah, Azza wa Jalla. The first hadith from the Prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, which they teach, is this. Intention is very important. For this reason, we must ensure that our intentions are pure for Allah, Azza wa Jalla, in everything we do. The Prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, said, نية الإنسان خير من عملك meaning the intention is better than the deed itself. The intention to do something very good, something very special. But we are human; we cannot always achieve what we intend. Allah rewards you for your intention. Even if you do one percent, He will reward you for your intention. We must, in sha'a Allah, always keep our intentions pure for the sake of Allah and for the pleasure of the Prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam,. In sha'a Allah, everything we do, we hope our intentions are accepted as we strive to follow the orders of Allah and the Prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, as much as we can. May Allah accept this and reward us, in sha'a Allah.

وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ (32:9) صدق الله العظيم Allah Azza wa Jalla mentions in Surah Sajdah that He created you from mud, from earth, and gave you everything, especially the abilities to hear and see; however, very few people are thankful to Allah. Very few people are thankful to their Lord, the Creator, Allah Azza wa Jalla. Being thankful is a big blessing for those who are thankful to Allah. Allah is happy with him; Allah loves him. The Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, is also happy. The Mashaykh are happy with him too. Our aim in this life is the happiness and pleasure of Allah, the Prophet, and the Mashaykh, Awliyaullah. And this comes from being thankful to Allah; it is a big thing to be thankful to Allah. Maybe people think it is not such a big matter, but it indeed is a very big thing. We are thanking Him for every hour, every minute, every second. And Alhamdulillah, may He make us meet again in this blessed place. May Allah give you more and more, Insha'Allah. When you are thankful, He gives more. May He give Hidayah to all of Spain, Insha'Allah, and to all of Europe.

The Prophet said, "Barakah in early morning Fajr, pray Fajr, you get barakah for the whole day, in sha'a Llah." It is the first prayer to begin the day by worshipping Allah , giving barakah. If you sleep through it, you won't have this barakah in your day. And 'barakah' means everything good; everything goes well. In olden times, people had no television, nothing. They slept early, woke up early, and their lives were easier, with more happiness in those days. Many people say, "I cannot wake up for Fajr." Why can you not wake up for Fajr? You say you slept late, didn't you? Yes. If you sleep late, how can you wake up early? It's better to sleep earlier; it's good for your health and your body, and you can wake up for Fajr. If you cannot wake up for Fajr, at least make sure to pray Fajr when you do wake up. This is a gift from Allah to you. May Allah help us to follow His command so that we may be happy, healthy, and receive mercy, in sha'a Llah.

We must know and love the Companions of the Prophet, Sahabat ar-Rasulullah. The Prophet said, "They are my companions." If you follow any one of them, you will be on the right path. They were sacrificing themselves for the Prophet, for Islam. Their love for the Prophet was so immense that it was not altered even though nothing was easy for them. I wanted to say this because we are here, al-hamdu liLlah, in a good place. We are sitting outside, and everyone is feeling a little bit cold. What we are saying now is in honor of the Sahaba and the hardship they had to endure during the Battle of the Trench. They were surrounded by non-believers, mushrikun, and kafirs, waiting until nightfall to prevent the enemy from entering. And the desert cold is terrible. And they didn't have what we have here, which keeps us very warm, al-hamdu liLlah. And their clothes were very thin and very poor. They had only one set of clothes, nothing else. They also had no food. When you are hungry, you feel even colder. They endured this for one month. This is just one example of how, out of their love for the Prophet and for Allah, they sacrificed themselves. Nowadays, some people say this Sahabah is good, this one is not. And they sit in luxury, having everything they need. While enjoying this comfort, they speak against the Sahabah. Anyone who speaks against the Sahabah should not be listened to, as it is dangerous. The Prophet cursed those who say anything against the Sahabah. May Allah bless them and bestow their barakah upon us, in sha'Allah.

وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٖ (68:4) صدق الله العظيم Allah Azza wa Jalla praises the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, as the best-behaved one. Being well-behaved is an order from the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam. And all Sahaba and Mashayikh exhibit this good attribute of behavior. Making life better for everyone. They help Mu'mins come closer to their Lord, Allah Azza wa Jalla. They are gentle with their family, neighbors, relatives, friends, and all people. All prophets and saints possess this character. Just good behavior—every good thing like justice, mercy, and everything you know about good character and behavior. Someone with good character is a person who does not harm anyone; no harm comes from them. They bring you happiness. May Allah help us to maintain good character.

قُلْ بِفَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِۦ فَبِذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا۟ هُوَ خَيْرٌۭ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ (10:58) صدق الله العظيم Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, wants us to be joyous in the blessings and generosity He has given us. What He gave us, Alhamdulillah, is to be here together in His way, to follow His order, to do what is the best for us. There are millions of people who do not have this favor. He gave us, we don't know how, what is the wisdom, but Alhamdulillah for this we must be happy. This is better than what they collect. You can collect millions, billions. It is not beneficial, not good. The best thing is if Allah bestows you this favor, it is better than all of the world combined. We are grateful for what Allah has bestowed upon us, we thank him for this favor, Alhamdulillah.

Today is the seventh day of the blessed month of Shawwal. Praise be to Allah. Today is the last day of Shawwal fasting. Our Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: Whoever fasts six days after Ramadan, it is as if he fasted the entire year. This is a voluntary fast. It is not obligatory, so one can choose freely when to fast. One can fast on any day during the month of Shawwal. You can fast for one day or five days. There is no obligation to fast for six days, as it is voluntary. Voluntary acts are not worthless. They have great value. Fasting is considered a tenfold reward, so that fasting for 30 days in Ramadan is considered fasting for 300 days. In addition, if one fasts for another six days in the month of Shawwal, this is counted as sixty days of fasting and is rewarded in total for 360 days of fasting. It is as if one had fasted all year round, so says our Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. This is a great blessing and a great advantage for us. The best thing is to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet and start Shawwal fasting on the second day of Eid. Fasting is not performed on the Eid day. Yes, fasting is not permissible on the first day of Eid al-Fitr, because the actual feast is the first day. On the Feast of Sacrifice, no fasting takes place for four days. So there are five days in the year when fasting is forbidden. It is permissible on all other days. If one starts fasting on the second day, today is the last day. Today is another holiday. It is called Eid al-Abrar. Today is regarded as a second holiday. There are some things that have been written. That which follows the Sharia is acceptable. Sometimes a man writes certain things in a certain state. We should not give too much importance to this written stuff. It does not bind us. What binds us is the Sharia and Tariqa. There is nothing outside of Sharia in Tariqa. Things that are outside of Sharia are inventions by later generations who do not follow the path. All Tariqas follow Sharia. There is no disagreement. Tariqa and Sharia are one. They are like a metal that is fused together, without any differences. Those who claim a difference are committing a sin. May Allah protect us. May this day be blessed and good for us. Welcome to all who have come! Some have just returned from Umrah. May Allah accept it. O Allah, may those who have not yet gone on Hajj get the opportunity to go.

The greatest and best miracle is to consistently follow the right path. Praise be to Allah. The days are passing. Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr. The days are going by. What blessings and wisdom do these days bring? If you are on the right path, it's about continuing to follow it. You are thinking of what else you could do? So know: To persistently do as much as you can is the best thing. Consistency is truly a miracle. People seek miracles in being saints. People are looking for ways to perform miracles. If you follow the right path unwaveringly, that is the greatest miracle. There is nothing more beautiful than consistency. He who perseveres and continues on his path will eventually experience good. Blessing will arise. You will succeed. But if you choose other paths and strike out on them, you will get lost. It is important to stay firm on the path. In the High Quran, Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, proclaims that he who leaves his position in battle and flees, causing unrest, belongs to Hell. Standing firm is the most important thing. That is a great miracle. Don't let the world deceive you. The world is deceptive. It can lead you astray. That's why it's important to stay on this path and follow it to the end. The end of this path is Paradise. That is the greatest reward. There is no greater reward. People take different paths. These paths they are taking come to an end. Then they start looking for new paths. The path is, however, clear and obvious. Allah, the Exalted and Mighty, has shown the right path. To follow this path is good for all people. Tormenting oneself and taking useless paths is of no benefit. It brings harm. May Allah protect the people. O Allah, grant them and all of us guidance.
