Blessed

Gatherings
Shaykh Mehmet Adil Al-Haqqani, Sohbet of the 12th of April, 2018.

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

rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Aṣ-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. Ṭarīqatunā ṣ-ṣuḥbah wa l-khayru fi l-jam‘iyyah.

Our ṭarīqah exists with ṣuḥbah and goodness is in assembly. The goodness of this assembly
extends to those who come. Certainly a person who comes to these gatherings finds benefit in
them. There are many gatherings. If you go to the markets, there are all kinds of gatherings
but all of them are gatherings for this world. The world is remembered there, Allāh ‫ ﷻ‬is
forgotten.

Our gatherings are to remind about Allāh ‫ﷻ‬, gatherings to be with Allāh ‫ﷻ‬. These are the
best of gatherings. And these gatherings are few. When compared to other gatherings, they
are very few. Therefore, no matter how people come to these gatherings, they certainly get
benefit out of them. It will be useful for them. There will be guidance for their egos. Slowly,
slowly Allāh ‫ ﷻ‬will help them stay away from wrong things. Therefore, whoever comes from
far or near, when their goal is the pleasure of Allāh ‫ ﷻ‬and meeting people there, Allāh ‫ﷻ‬
writes thawāb (reward) for their every step; forgives their sins and raises their station.

And we are in holy months now. The month of Rajab is the holy month of Allāh ‫ﷻ‬. During
this month thawāb is given ten fold, hundred fold, even thousand fold more. Coming and
being present in these gatherings is a rare treasure. People look for treasure. Nowadays it
became fashionable. The main treasure they should look for, which will bring eternal benefit,
is these gatherings. And we should hold to these gatherings. Shayṭān doesn't like these
gatherings. When someone wants to attend, he puts a hundred burdens on him. He tries to
put a hundred obstacles in order for the man not to come. But when the man comes, he gets
blessings from this gathering. He reaches Allāh's ‫ ﷻ‬favours. Burdens are lifted off his
shoulders. When he returns home from the gathering, he is lighter and blessed, full of light.
People who attend other gatherings come light and running, but after they sit there, heaviness
and darkness falls on them. When they leave it, they leave troubled. They enter their homes
with a problem.

This is an important matter because all people now are thinking, "We are in trouble and
stress." Of course, it is because of these bad gatherings. This bad gathering influences other
people too. And good gatherings give light and benefit to the cities and countries around. No
matter how much evil there is, people who come to that gathering find peace. And pleasure is
felt by the people around, as the favour of Allāh ‫ ﷻ‬comes to that city or country. May Allāh

‫ ﷻ‬increase these gatherings. Mawlānā used to say, "I will make forty thousand dergahs. That
is my intention." Shukr to Allāh ‫ﷻ‬, there are many dergahs. May they become even more.
They are the gatherings of Allāh ‫ﷻ‬.

Our ṭarīqah we said it is ṣuḥbah and to be gathering with good people and to meet with good
people and to mention Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla and Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬and holy people, good people.
This is our gathering, main aim for ṭarīqah to gather with people and to teach them. This
majlis, gathering it is blessed one. Each people coming here for any purpose, Allāh ‫ ﷻ‬will
reward them. Even Grand Shaykh was saying, if somebody coming to call one from majlis
and he just going this majlis – even this man Allāh ‫ ﷻ‬will reward him and give him reward.
Because this is many gathering in every country, every place, every city, but to find gathering
for sake of Allāh ‫ ﷻ‬very rare. Very few but it is the most precious, the what have value.
Because giving people bless from Allāh ‫ ﷻ‬and Allāh ‫ ﷻ‬kindness on them and every good
thing for this people who are attending this gathering.

They are coming for this gathering, people, many people shayṭān make them to many excuse
to not come. Difficult for them to come but if they come, they are will be happy. They will be
light. When finish gathering and going to their house, Allāh ‫ ﷻ‬give them also present to take
this sadness from them and give them happiness, give them mercy. When they going to house
they will be happy with family also. But other gathering – they are coming quickly running
for bad gathering and after becoming heavy, becoming stress, becoming more sad when they
are going out to their house. But they are not knowing from what this happen. This country
or other country, every city, thousands of gathering but most of them for bad thing, only for
to enjoy their ego. Themself speaking with people to they are thinking we are doing good but
when they are not remembering Allāh ‫ ﷻ‬they are not doing good. They thought everything
from themself and after this when Allāh ‫ ﷻ‬give them heaviness and darkness they don't know
what to do.

To do to remember Allāh ‫ﷻ‬, to attend good gathering and remembering, mentioning holy
name of Allāh ‫ﷻ‬, mentioning Prophet ‫ﷺ‬, and holy people and to ask bless from and
forgiveness from Allāh ‫ﷻ‬. When you do this you are, in shā’a Llāh, happy and we are
especially in this very holy months, first month Rajab – month of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. And it
is nearly finish.

Tomorrow, in shā’a Llāh, tomorrow night we will make, in shā’a Llāh, Isrā’, Mi‘rāj. We will
make, in shā’a Llāh, gathering also for this. It is very holy night, in shā’a Llāh, and after that
next day there is fasting. Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬was encouraging us to fast this and to make tomorrow
night holy night. Ask what you want from Allāh ‫ﷻ‬. In shā’a Llāh, Allāh ‫ ﷻ‬give us this what
we are wanting. All good, all for ummah, for hidāyah for all of people, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allāhi t-tawfīq, al-Fātiḥah.
