PLEASING ALLAH

As-Salāmu ‘alaykum wa raḥmatu Llāhi. A‘ūdhu biLlāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm.

Waṣ-ṣalātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-awwalīn wa l-ākhirīn. Madad yā Rasūla Llāh, madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi Rasūli Llāh, madad yā Mashāyikhinā, dastūr yā

Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistānī, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad. Ṭarīqatunāṣ-ṣuḥbahwal-khayrufil-jam’iyyah.

Let all our affairs done for Allah, so that what we do is done to please Allah, then

Allah is pleased with us. If you make your intention for each affair to be in the name of pleasing Allah, then Allah gives according to your intention, and he is pleased with you. Let us make the intention that from morning until night all of our affairs, including worldly business, is done for the sake of Allah, to earn His pleasure—that we earn halal, we dress from halal, and so forth. Wherever we go, let each our doings be for the pleasure of Allah.

Today, insha’Allah, there is a journey. (The Sheikh is travelling to Indonasia.) We are not going for the world; our intention is made for those who are going to enter the tariqa first time and for our followers. We are travelling for the sake of Allah. May our journey be full of Allah’s bounty! May it be a cause for people’s guidance! Most Muslims have forgotten the next world either because of their worldly business or for some other reasons. They are running after the world; they have no knowledge of the beauty of Islam and the tariqa. Tariqa already belongs to Islam; it is the same as sharia. There is no difference, but they do not know this. Some say, “You are not on the right path,” though they have no knowledge of what tariqa is. Because of these rigid people, many people move away from Islam, [and] let their religion go away completely.

We are going on a journey to correct their state at least a little bit, to show them the path of the prophet, and for them to find the right path. May Allah make our journey easy. May He cause our journey to be guidance, inshaAllah. Our Prophet (SAW) says, “If it becomes a guidance even for only one person, this would be better than the entire world.” InshaAllah, many people are to come and receive guidance.

We, insha’Allah, wish for more to receive guidance and to come to the right path, those who do not have any knowledge, rather than those who already are Muslims and practicing their daily prayers, because we observe that they do not know their value, that

they run after Europe, after this world. In fact, Allah has given so much provision! May Allah have us to be amongst those who appreciate its value.

Wa min Allāhi t-tawfīq, al-Fātiḥah
