The

Favoured Few
Shaykh Mehmet Adil Al-Haqqani, Sohbet of the 3rd of May, 2017..

Adhu biLlhi mina sh-shayni r-rajm. Bismi Llhi r-Ramni r-Ram. A-altu wa s-
salmu al Raslin Muammadin Sayyidi l-awwalna wa l-khirn. Madad y Rasla Llh,
madad y Sdti Abi Rasli Llh, madad y Mashyikhin, dastr y Shaykh Abdu Llh
al-Fiz ad-Dghistn, Shaykh Muammad Nim al-aqqn. Madad. arqatun -
ubah wa l-khayru fi l-jamiyyah.

We thank and praise Allh that He put us together in this beautiful community. We
thank and praise Him . It is something not meant for everyone. These people are a
minority. People on the way of truth are in the minority. "Wa qallun minibdiya sh-shakr."
(34:13) says Allh Azza wa Jalla. Who are thankful are in the minority.

arat Umar was making awf one day. One man was praying to Allh asking to make
him from the minority. He was asking this from Allh Azza wa Jalla. It seemed strange to
arat Umar. Why did he want it? Because the minority is acceptable; it is said in Qurn
Karm "Wa qallun minibdiya sh-shakr". Wa qallun (and few are) the people who make
shukr to Allh , who worship and obey the truth, they are in the minority. Therefore, there
is a saying now: the favoured few. They mean the people of duny, properties, possessions,
cars, money, women, someone who has everything, not an ordinary rich man, but those who
are very rich, they say they are happy. All people look at them not with admiration but with
envy. They say how happy these people are, they have everything. Whereas, they don't know
they are not happy. They have everything but no one can say they are happy. Everyone
knows that but they still call them the favoured few.

The real favoured few are the people of Allh . It is hard to do it by ourselves. People are
gathering here by the will of Allh , those who are on this right way - they are the really
happy ones. They are happy in duny too, as they know everything has a reason and a cause.
To accept the cause and comply with it is the biggest reason of happiness. You know
everything comes from Allh Azza wa Jalla. If He tests or favours you every day, you
should know everything is from Allh . You should thank Allh . Then there can't be
anyone happier than you. Because a man has no worry from duny then but inner peace.
Otherwise, even if the whole world belongs to him, he cannot make time for himself out of
greed. All his time... There were water wells in the old times. They put a donkey there and it
would run around from morning till evening. It would remain in its place, not able to go
anywhere. People who run after duny are like this. That animal is at least of use to people. It
brings up the water. It is useful for people. But people are for themselves.

Who are for Allh , no one will envy this happy minority. No one will say "You prayed too
much, you are on the right way" and envy them, shukr to Allh . Therefore, may everyone

be able to to accept this beautiful community. Whoever asks, Allh's door is always open.
Whoever wants may enter. Allh won't block anyone. Shayn is the one who blocks. If
someone wants to join this beautiful community, not just one but thousand shayns will
oppose him to stop him. Even if everyone takes from Allh Azza wa Jalla's treasures, they
won't become less. Moreover, Allh Azza wa Jalla will give even more to people. This is
important.

Shukr to Allh , we met again with barakah of Mawln. It is through him that so many
people are coming. All his life, Mawln worked without getting tired and without laziness in
order to bring more people to this way. Shukr to Allh , much more people joined this
beautiful community. In sha Llh with his barakah more people will join. The doors are
open. Allh Azza wa Jalla, we are thanking Him for making us in this gathering. This is
nice gathering. This is the most perfect and most happy because this gathering for sake of
Allh .

Allh He is happy with thankful people. But they are a few people. "Wa qallun
minibdiya sh-shakr" (34:13) Allh He said in Qurn the thankful people they are very
few, very little. They are not majority. They are minority. Al-amdu li-Llh we are happy to
be minority. Minority everywhere in this world, they are people they try to finish them.
Especially in countries there is minority, they don't like them. Al-amdu li-Llh we are
minority among human being.

Once Sayyidina Umar ibn Al-Khattb (ra) Amru l-muminn, second khalfah after Prophet
all Llhu alayhi wa sallam was making awf in Kabah. And one man was praying,
making du - "O Allh , make me from these people, few people, minority people with...
not with many people." And he was astonishing. Sayyidina Umar ibn Al-Khattb asking
"What are you doing? What are you saying this?" He said "In Qurn everywhere for people
who are very few people thankful, very few people accepting truth, very few people loving
Allh , loving Prophet . This in Qurn everywhere - only few people following right
way. For this, I am asking to be like them." So al-amdu li-Llh we are also minority.

Many people they are not happy. Even to see they are not happy. There is in material world,
I don't know... In Turkish there is one saying: "happy minority". I don't know if in English
any term like this. This is what meaning? Meaning for the very rich people, very rich people
in the countries they are very little people. So everybody looking for them. They say this is
happy minority and they have everything. Elite. But there is few, not so much. The favoured
few. Yes. In Turkish mutlu aznlk they say - Favoured few. So people they are looking for
them and more water coming from their mouth. They like to be like them. And looking,
looking like with envy. Everybody who looking for them with envy because they have car,
they have women, they have land, they have factory, they have shops, they have houses,
everything they have. The people they are thinking these people favoured few.

No, this is not favoured few. They are not happy even. The favoured few al-amdu li-Llh we
are. We are in sha Llh. Because people they are not thinking for this. Because we are,

when some people they are real following way of Prophet all Llhu alayhi wa sallam and
way of Awliyu Llh, they are happy because they know what is reason and who make this
reason. The most important for us to know there is one who is doing all this for us. We say we
are accepting this. And we are saying this is not going for empty. It is everything Allh
reward us. And we are happy He put us in this gathering, small gathering. Because even
Muslim people they are not thinking at all for Creator. No. They are Muslim. Some of them
praying. Most of them not praying even. But who are following right way, they are happy. So
in sha Llh we are... Nobody envious for them. They are ok. "You can do what you like to
do", they say. "We are nothing to take from you or to be envious for you." For this, they are
not making envy for these people. But they are not clever.

And Allh Azza wa Jalla He is happy to be all human being like this. But human being
not accepting. Allh not prevent anybody from coming to Him . Who prevent? Shayn.
If you will go one step to good place or good people, not one shayn, thousand shayn
coming prevent you to go to there, to meet the right way or to be with good people. So we
are also like, like Mawln Shaykh he was whole life trying to bring people to this happy way
who very few people. But al-amdu li-Llh he bring thousand, hundred thousand people.
And he was still at the end in this way. In sha Llh with his barakah this way also bring
many people to this happy gathering, real happiness.

Wa min Allhi t-tawfq, al-Ftiah.
