“LOVE’ THE NAQSHBANDI WAY

By Sheikh Muhammad Nazim Adil al Haqqani an Naqshbandi

Reference: Pg24, pg25

…Yes we are saying that muhabbat, love made Islam enter the hearts of all these nations. The Sahaba went all over the world from the Far East to far west. Perhaps to more than 70 nations, and preached to people who spoke more than one hundred languages. The Sahaba only knew to speak Arabic. How did they address them? How they make daawah, and Islam go into their hearts? You speak, only with the tongue and not from the heart and therefore no one listens to you. But your hearts must say “minalal kalbi minal dalwish a lilaa”. We are trying to bring that method back to the ummah today through the tariqats. We want to bring love back to the ummah because without love you won’t be able to make them into one people, in one land.

If you are unable to give muhabba, love to the hearts, you won’t be able to connect up one world with another. Our aim is to make the ummah to love each other. It is impossible for the ummah to love each other without meeting on the love of Allah. Only the one who meets on the same lines can come together. There shall be no jealousy, no hatred and no enmity and envy. It is impossible. Yes it is impossible.

That was the foundation of Islam and the Prophet (S) trained his sahaba in this fashion. They only say “illahi antha maksoodi”. (Oh our Lord Allah, we are asking only for your pleasure so that you may be pleased with us, that is our aim, nothing else). In dawah, we are not asking for anything from You, neither for us, nor for the people of our country. My aim is to make that divine love that is in my heart to be able to reach to the hearts of the believers. Do you think that this love contained in our hearts is not enough for all nations. Don’t be in doubt. Even if one heart reaches to divine love, the love from that heart is enough to reach to the hearts of the people of all nations.

Rasoolullah (S) informed us that there will come a time, during which people should understand Islam wrongly. They would look at halal (permitted), as haram (forbidden) and haram as halal. The right things should be wrong for them, and the wrong things should be right for them. We must ask forgiveness from Allah Almighty and also ask Him to confirm our feet on the right path. The path that the Prophet (S) was stepping on, to reach to Ridwanullah, the divine presence of Allah Almighty.

Pg 21/Pg22

Oh people, Muhammad (S), is the greatest forever. This celebration is only a humble one and I hope that it is accepted by Allah Almighty. We ask Allah Almighty for forgiveness as we are not doing our best for his beloved servant Muhammed (S). May Allah grant you his endless favours and peace. May he make in your hearts, love respect for his beloved ones, and may he make you real followers on the way of Muhammed (S). May Allah Almighty also make a way for the whole of mankind to understand him and to follow in his steps, so that it will bring happiness, peace and everlasting real life, both here and in the hereafter, to mankind. “Allahuma innee ashaluka hubbaka wa hubba man yuhibbuka wa amal allazee yubaligunee hubbaka”. Oh Allah Almighty, give me your love, and the love of those whom you love, and the good actions that will lead me to your love.”
