As-Salāmu ‘alaykum wa-raḥmatu Llāhi wa-barakātuh.
A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm.
Aṣ-ṣalātu wa-s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-awwalīna
wa-l-ākhirīn. Madad yā Rasūla Llāh, madad yā Sādātī Aṣḥābi Rasūli Llāh,
madad yā Mashāyikhanā, dastūr Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh
al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistānī, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.
Ṭarīqatuna ṣ-ṣuḥbah, wa-l-khayru fi l-jam’iyyah.
By the will of Allāh ﷻ everyone
will depart from this world one day.
We ask that Allāh ﷻ gives us health
and does not separate us from īmān.
One of our brothers,
a representative in Switzerland,
had an accident and passed away today.
And we should be
happy that he left with īmān
and found Islām
in a place like Switzerland.
And he found Ṭarīqah.
His belief was firm.
Over 30 years ago
he met Mawlānā, they say by chance.
It is not by chance. Allāh ﷻ appointed
that time for him to meet Mawlānā
and be honoured with Islām.
He was meant to meet Mawlānā
on that day, in that place,
to choose to become Muslim.
And he joined the Ṭarīqah. For 30 years,
maybe more than 30 years,
he has been doing service. He would come
a couple of times throughout the year.
We are sad that he passed away
in an accident.
However, in shā’a Llāh our sadness...
Allāh ﷻ is Arḥamu r-Rāḥimīn.
There is wisdom in his passing away like that.
He left with the rank of shahīd. He was unique anyway.
Despite everything,
he was trying to teach Islām
on his own.
He would wear Islamic clothing,
and get along with everyone. He was a good example.
Always smiling,
he was never seen fighting with anyone.
Therefore, may he have a high station.
He is gone to the eternal world,
the true abode.
This world is an illusion. It will pass
in some way. Important is
to pass away with īmān.
People of Ṭarīqah
leave with īmān
within ṭarīqah and reach
Mawlānā's presence,
Muslims, and
people of Ṭarīqah.
A person who leaves Muslim, meaning with īmān,
his soul hangs in Paradise like a bird.
Who goes to Hell remains in Hell.
They say they call spirits. Spirits don't come.
What comes is a silly thing.
As we said, important is
his service
and creed.
These are the things that will reach him
following after. He will be
with his loved ones,
with his Shaykh and our Prophet ﷺ,
with Allāh's ﷻ permission.
May Allāh ﷻ increase his station.
Of course, they have their own
ceremonies to be done. We will pray
ṣalātu l-ghā’ib after he is washed, in shā’a Llāh.
They don't bury immediately in Europe.
They make a lot of things.
In shā’a Llāh it will be good if brothers living
closer to his area go to his janāzah. Allāh ﷻ will
reward them for their every step.
Our life of course some day it will be end.
We are not living in this world forever.
Eternal life – after death.
So, today, last night, yesterday we hear
one news, sad, about
our brother ‘Abdu sh-Shakūr
from Switzerland, he has accident and he pass away.
Pass away when he has accident with īmān in hand, is you
counted as shahīd, martyr.
Martyr.
He was real very sincere,
very nice murīd, all time laughing.
Since first time I meet him in Basel,
he was laughing and I was, "Why this man laughing too much."
So he was like this.
And he invite us for to one and half year to Switzerland.
He was really very good,
make his best to
bring people to Islām, to bring
murīd together, to help
people, to show them right way. And this,
since maybe 30 years or more we know him.
And he said, was telling us how he become Muslim.
You say accidently, but nothing accidently. It was
Allāh ﷻ prepare this time and place
for him to meet Mawlānā.
And when he meet Mawlānā he become Muslim.
You say where it was? He said, "I was in petrol station, selling, help for
working in petrol station and saw Mawlānā Shaykh there,"
and immediately he become Muslim,
and he become real sincere one.
Since more than, I think
more than 30 years. So I know him since '85.
He was before maybe two years – maybe 35 years he is Muslim.
And he with accident,
Allāh ﷻ also want this.
We are sad for him, but maybe he is happy with this
because become martyr and his,
he is higher and higher, in shā’a Llāh, in Divine Presence.
And he will be, in shā’a Llāh, with who love –
he loved Mawlānā, he loved Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
We are sure he is not going to bad place.
Even we are sad for his – we will not see him in this world –
but, in shā’a Llāh, also we will meet again, not forever this separat[ion].
It is short time. Life it is so fast.
So, in shā’a Llāh, for Jannah we meet him, in shā’a Llāh, there.
And in Europe they make too much time to
make preparation for janāzah but when he will be prepared, we will pray for him
ghā’ib janāzah namāz. But who as near this area
from our murīd, we ask them who can go
to attend his funeral, he must go there, in shā’a Llāh.
Allāh ﷻ reward these people who is going also there.
Allāh ﷻ raise his maqām and give
hidāyah for his family to be,
he will be more happy with this, in shā’a Llāh.
Allāh ﷻ save you,
Allāh ﷻ give hidāyah for other people, because
there is many good people in
Europe and, but they are all cheated. They are very...
they have
like...
pollution of knowledge –
showing Islām as bad.
But if they know, all they will be, most of them will be Muslim.
But there is real attacking for Islām,
and they are making many thing,
many theatre, but
bloody theatre they make, and they are saying, "This is Islām, this is...
Don't go there." Because before,
in time of Mawlānā, when he first going to England,
there was many English, German,
coming by hundred, by thousand people to Islām.
And they make this theatre – first one to
Iranian revolution. They say, "Look, Islām this is."
Second they make with...
Afghanistan and other. All this,
this all not from Islām. This is theatre,
bloody theatre from
enemy of Islām,
to not let people to come to Islām.
Even they kill their own people, they are not,
no harm for them to do this.
So, real one like Shaykh ‘Abdu sh-Shakūr, there is
million like him, but they are cheated to not be come to Islām.
Allāh ﷻ give hidāyah for all of them, in shā’a Llāh.
Wa-min Allāhi t-tawfīq, al-Fātiḥah.
