Honor Is a Heavenly Dress

Sultan al-Awliya

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani

19 February 2010   Lefke, Cyprus

Suhbah after Jumu`ah Salat

 

 

(Mawlana Shaykh stands.) A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem. Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem. Madad al-Haqq, yaa Rabb. Dastoor, yaa RijaalAllah. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

As-salaamu `alaykum. Mubarak, blessings upon you on this holy day through this holy month. Perhaps it is the holiest month Rabi` ul-Awwal that the Seal of Prophets (s) came from heavens to this world to give blessings from Allah Almighty to his nation. We must be thankful to Allah Almighty that He created us and chose us to be part of the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) That is the biggest chance for us. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

As-salaamu `alaykum! We are saying a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem. Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem. That is a title of Muslims through their speech and through their writing. It is the sign of Islam. If you are seeing that a person is saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem. Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem, for him there will be a shahid (witness) that he is a mu’min. And for writing also, if you see in his writing he is beginning with Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem, you must say that this is a Muslim and a believer, and he is a follower of the Seal of Prophets (s), and he has been protected from Shaytan’s tricks, and you may practice what he is going to teach you.

 

Yes, and we are saying that people must know that they are Muslims. I’m saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem. When you are saying a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem, my belief is, if anyone is saying a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem and asking to work or to speak, I don’t believe that person will not be protected. He is protected from the tricks of Shaytan. Shaytan is coming from everywhere to make fasad (corruption), and main reason for corruptions on Earth now is that people are not believing that there is a Shaytan. They ask, “What is Shaytan?” and I am saying, we want to see who is Shaytan! Yes, and (for it to be) impossible (for Shaytan) to come closer to you or to put a trick for you to make you in its trap. When you are feeling yourself in a difficult position, say a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem. (You must think,) “Something wrong came here, because I am not running to my Lord from the tricks of the most dangerous enemy of Mankind:

إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّا

inna ash-Shaytana lakum `adoowan fattakhidh-hu `adoowa.

Verily Satan is an enemy to you: so treat him as an enemy. (35:6)

 

O Salafi `ulama! What do you say? You are understanding the Holy Qur’an and Allah Almighty is warning in the Holy Qur’an, inna ash-Shaytana lakum `adoowun mubeen, it means that Shaytan is the biggest enemy, and most dangerous one for Mankind. All troubles are from Shaytan. He opened the door of troubles on the day that Allah Almighty ordered him to bow to Adam (a).

O Salafi `ulamas! What are you saying? You are denying that sajdah. It is forbidden, we know it. But what you say is that, Allah (swt) is saying that sajdah is only for Allah (swt). And if a person is making sajdah to someone, you say that that person is a kafir (unbeliever), and you can’t say this. (You must judge) according to conditions, because there is sajdah for obedience in servanthood of our Lord, Allah Almighty, but there is also sajdah for tazeem, for honor or high respect. Therefore, if a son does sajdah to his mother or father, it is okay. 

إنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ،

Innamal `amaalu bin-niyaat

Actions are according to intentions.

If you are making that, it is for takreem (human dignity), and high respect from children to their parents is okay. Before the time of Sayyidu ‘l-Haqq (s), children were giving their high respect for their parents. But now that respect is just taken away; they are never giving their respect to their parents.

 

It is an order from the Lord of Heavens (swt) that you must respect your parents. Even if you do sajdah for them, that sajdah is for taqdeer (appreciation), and it is okay. Allah Almighty is not going to ask, “Why did  you make sajdah to your parents?” No. He may ask, “O My servant! Why did you make that bowing to your parents?” And we may say, “O our Lord! You ordered that we must give our high respect to our parents.” And we did not make that sajdah for `uboodiyyah (true worship of Allah [swt]). No, ta`zheem (respect) is one thing, and worship is something else.

 

Now people have lost respect. Democracy, peace and this dirty system is making people to think, (Turkish) sen sen, ben ben, “You you, me me.”  SubhaanAllah. Allah Almighty created the ego and said to the ego, “Come,” and (the ego) was going back and when He said, “Go back,” (the ego) was coming forward. Every order that Allah Almighty was giving, the ego did the opposite. Therefore people are now sen sen, ben ben, “I am belonging to me and you are belonging to you, no difference.” And Allah Almighty is ordering to keep respect for ahlu ‘l-qabr (people of the grave), that is in an ayatu ‘l-kareemah (noble verse of Holy Qur’an). You must give honor to honored people, these honored people are honoring their Lord. Those are honored ones, not like those honored ones with imitated titles who cannot give you any honor from Allah Almighty. Who is honored, you must give honor to them. If they are not taking honor from the Lord of Heavens, they are not honored people. 

 

Honor is a heavenly dressing. And Allah Almighty is dressing his servants as He likes, with the dress of honor. That is real honor. What people give to you, such and such medals and rewards, don’t think it is honor. No! Their honor reaches up to the gravestone placed over their dead body, over the coffin, and finishes after that. We are asking for a dress of honor forever for us, but Shaytan is cheating people and especially the system people are using through east and west. They are running after imitated titles and they are never asking for the dress of honor from heavens. That is their ignorance. Try to have heavenly honor, and when that dresses you, it will never be taken away; it is honor for you. But people, from the morning they are running like other creatures, running after their provisions, they are thinking of nothing else except this. The common people are running to find their daily provisions, nothing else.

 

And the second level of people who are saying, “We are your bosses,” are running quickly to open their computers, saying, “How much have we reached today? Yesterday it was $300 billion, but today we must reach at least $500 billion to be number one in this world. Then we can be honored by governments, particularly His Excellency, President Obama, who may call me for a meeting with him, asking my support, because the US is in an economic crisis, and how to save the US from this dangerous position. Yes, I must be from this type!”

 

From early morning until late night there is nothing else on their minds. They are making so many instruments and those instruments bringing to people countless news to make them happy. But those people only care about which number they reached today. Yes, write “1” and put after it a zero. Second day, we must add another zero so it can become 100. Third day, we can add two zeros so it can become 10,000. Right in front of you, they say, “In the Bank of England, I have cases filled with gold and all of them belong to me, but I can’t carry them. Therefore, I am putting them under the protection of the Bank of England or the National German’s Bank.” (All those people) are bankrupt, they are finished! Arabs never take any care, there are countless riyals with us and we are giving them to people. Before they were giving silver coins.

O Salafi `ulamas! You are so young that you don’t know that fifty or sixty years ago, silver and gold was used in Saudi Arabia and now they changed it, and now they use paper money. They write on it, ‘This is five riyals’ or ‘fifty riyals’ or ‘five-hundred riyals’. Make a new one and write on it ‘one-thousand riyals’ (looks at paper).

O Salafi `ulamas! What is your opinion? Why are you not saying that it is haraam and of no value? You are saying, “We are so careful not to take any interest.” If you are, then how you are printing money on paper and saying, “This is one-thousand riyals”? Why are you cheating people? Are you not fearing from Allah Almighty, Who granted to you such a richness? You are keeping gold in your cases and giving to people a paper written on it ‘one-thousand riyals’. That is haraam! All you know is only to attack on tariqah, to say this is haraam, that is haraam, that is bidaa`. That is not bidaa`, but what they are saying is haraam! Why are you saying this?!

 

Heavy bombarding is coming on them! I am nothing, but their names have been written up, and the sahmun intikaam (arrows of revenge), are turned towards them. That is what we are saying. They only give importance to not saying, as-salaatu was-salamu `alayk, not to stand in front of Muwaajahaa-i'sh-Shareefah. Such things are not munkar (denounced) and you can’t say that sending salawaat on Prophet (s) is munkar! Allah Almighty is saying:

وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ فِيكُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

W `alamoo anna feekum Rasoolullah,

Know that Prophet (s) is within you. (35:6)

You must know that Allah is saying, “My most glorified one, whom I am glorifying from pre-Eternal up to Eternal.”

 

I am asking the Salafi `ulama, what was written on `Arshullah, the Holy Throne. They may say to me, “There is only written on the Holy Throne ‘la ilaaha illa-Llah, not Muhammadun Rasoolullah’.” (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Allah (swt) will give them punishment! They are leaving the most important thing, which is so clear. It is haraam; there is no paper money in Islam! Where is your amr bi 'l-ma`roof wa an-nahiyy `ani 'l-munkar (enjoining good and forbidding evil)? Why no one is speaking on this point? Astaghfirullah!

 

May Allah (swt) forgive us. You must understand that whoever is appointed to be our kings or presidents on power, they will be punished. They will be ibrah (an example) for everyone. You must know this!

 

O Muslims! This machine (Internet) is carrying this speech through East and West. So many Wahabi people are fighting against us tariqah people. Why are they not objecting on paper money, as it is not in Islam; it is haraam, bida`, shirk! Why aren’t the Wahabi people saying this? Say it or Allah’s curse will come on you! Therefore, I am not carrying paper money. (Mawlana takes coins from his pocket.) If we put this in water it doesn’t disappear and if we put it in fire it doesn’t burn. You can’t even cut it!

O Wahabi People! Who are against tariqah people, especially Naqshbandis, I AM NAQSHBANDI! MY TEACHINGS WILL REACH THROUGH EAST AND WEST, AND WE ARE GOING TO BE VICTORIOUS!!!

 

(Mawlana Shaykh stands, recites salawaat and sits.)

Fatihah.

 

What am I looking at? I am looking at a safeer (ambassador) of heavens, saying, “Come with me.” I must say what is true and may Allah (swt) forgive me if I am wrong one.  If I am true one, following true ones, may my Lord reward me, for the honor of the most honored one, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) 

Fatihah.

Come to Your Real Being

Sultan al-Awliya

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani

26 February 2010      Lefke, Cyprus

Suhbah after Jumu`ah

 

(Mawlana Shaykh stands.) A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem. Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem. (...Tranmission cuts, one minute...)  ...to live peacefully. Shaytan always asking people to live by quarreling, fighting, killing, suffering, through miseries.

Madad yaa Sultaan al-Awliya. madad yaa rijaalallah. Alfu alfu salaat, alfu alfu salaam yaa Sayyidina al-awaleen wa'l-akhireen, Sayyidina Muhammad, zidhu ya rabbee `izzan wa sharafan wa nooran wa salaaman, azhar shaanahu. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

 

That is the level of the birthday of the Seal of Prophets (s), tanzil rahmah coming. (Someone says, “Mercy,”) Mercy? I said birthday! (laughter) Coming blessings from heavens, coming mercy from heavens.

 

O People! Ask for your Lord to grant us from His Mercy Oceans and to forgive us and send us His divinely blessings. Be happy! Be happy that we are handsome people coming here. Now through East and West, raining from Mercy Oceans and we hope that we may reach even one drop on ourselves.

 

O People! Say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem. Allah (swt) makes Shaytan go far away from ourselves. Allah Almighty leaving Shaytan and saying to him, “Go, do as you like, whatever you can do, do!" One angel answering to Shaytan, saying, “O you, who is thrown away from the Divine Presence, it can be millions, billions, quadrillions of shaytans, can’t do anything!!” Because Mankind is under divine protection, that Allah Almighty granted that protection to Sayyidina Muhammad (s). (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) Yes, Allah, Allah, Allah.

 

O People! Don't be heedless! Shaytan makes people heedless and trying to make people disobedient ones to their Lord, their Creator. But now people are not thinking. They love to think on such a very fine point but not thinking, how we are in existence, or how we came on this planet, or how Children of Adam are born and created? Then they are growing and coming back, getting older and older, weaker and weaker, and then falling on the Earth, then they are put under the Earth.

Twenty-first century people are drunks. Drunks! Everyone is drunk. They are never thinking about their realities. What is the reality of Mankind? No one is asking about their identity. “Who am I? Why am I here? To whom am I going to be taken?” No, running up and down from morning to evening. It is not for a person to think about himself, “Who am I, that I am speaking and thinking? How you came? Who are you? I must look in a mirror. I came here. I am not saying this is myself, I am saying this mirror is a liar, showing such an ugly one. That mirror is lying!" People are never thinking, never saying or asking about their identities. “How I was once upon a time a young one, now who made me an old one? Once upon a time I was a small baby, now I am ten-years-old, then older, and if I may put behind 100 one zero, and you are going to be 1000 years old like Prophet Noah (a). What is that? I am that one? Who is making me to be changed?"

 

O People! Don't think that you are a statue; statues are always looking, from the time of pharaohs they are sitting like this (Mawlana sits very still), never changing. How many years? Ten years? They are sitting like this, never saying, “I am tired.” If they are tired, must make them to stand up or must sit down, but never changing! But Man is not like statues, everyday changing, in past time, present time, future time. I know English, mashaa-Allah. (laughter) I forget this, but they are giving me powers. Past time, present time, future time. How am I going to be in ten years, and who is changing me, "nature"? They may go to Hell with nature! Whoever believes in nature (as a creator) does not believe in the Lord of Creation. They are saying, “We are living on the top point of civilization,” and saying, “Nature making me.” What is that, civilization? Nothing, finished. Ninety-nine percent of people believe in nature and not believing in the Creator of this universe! Forgetting who put them on this planet and how this planet is turning or how it is running (flawlessly), never making a mistake through its turning and running. From where is it coming? To where is it going? People are never asking.

 

O People! Wake up, leave your drinks and come to yourself. Drinks are taking you from yourself and taking from your real being. O People! Come to your real being! Therefore, everything that prophets were saying, we must think on it. Thousands of prophets coming and, as we are informed by the Seal of Prophets (s), (they brought heavenly) instructions. 124,000 prophets saying to people, “Come to our Creator, come and listen and obey and be His servants.” Servanthood is the most high dress; servanthood dressing is the best dressing and the most honored dressing. You can not find any dressing better than servanthood. Be happy! Be proud by being servants to the Lord of Heavens, to be servants in Creation, from pre-Eternal to Eternal!

 

O People! Who created you and put you on this planet is asking to dress you in honored dressing of servanthood. Don't run away. People like to run away from servanthood, they like to be slaves to Shaytan. Slavery is something and servanthood is something else; slavery is making people on the lowest level, but servanthood is taking them up, up, up endlessly. That grant is from our Creator dressing us, from servanthood dressing, neverending. You are always going to be dressing in new lightening and new beauty comes on you. You are always going to be dressed in new beauty and receive new knowledge about the Lord's creatures. And always going to be granting new (dressing) to His creatures and granting to His servants, granting endlessly: “O My servant, ask and take, I am putting to your heart to ask. Ask, I am granting, neverending grants I have.”

 

O People! So quickly our lives are running, running, running, going to finish. We are like sticks, just fire on it and coming less, coming less, coming less and finishing. In the Divine Presence the first the light is going up, going up, going up endlessly. If a man can learn such wisdoms, it is reaching to ourselves through the heavenly levels coming to prophets and they are giving good tidings about our brightened future. No future there; there is eternity, eternity, eternity. They are wasting our chances, they are not going to be granted another chance. If asking to be on the lowest level, you will always be on that level, even if you have been granted. But to get up, Allah Almighty is saying, ”O Ummati Muhammad (s)!" (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) "I am granting to you endlessly, endlessly, always, always. That is My pleasure.'”

We have a saying, kullu jadeedun ladheedh, “Every new thing is much more tasteful.” You are never asking to reach your first level after you reach your second level. When you are reaching your third level, you are never asking for your second level. That is very high astonishing for people. Because the first level that you have been granted and then the second coming to you, and you are not losing the first. When you reach the third level, you are not losing the second level, because what Allah Almighty gives He is never taking back.

 

O People! That is a celebration of the Seal of Prophets (s), that everything is created for his honor, inspite of their will!

O hadrati `ulamas, Salafi `ulamas, they are not accepting and they are going to be fixed, no more going up. 

O People! Keep the way of Ahlu ’s-Sunnah wa 'l-Jama`ah and the Seal of Prophets (s). His level no one knows, no one can keep the divine lights, that is impossible. Only one, the Seal of Prophets (s) can carry, and giving more from divine lights. If not reaching to heavenly lights, heavenly lights are going to be black, nothing on it.

 

Allah (swt) gives us a good understanding. We are asking forgiveness of Allah Almighty and we are asking for celebration of Seal of Prophets (s), we are asking sixty years of celebration from East to West, that Allah (swt) gives us more lights!

 

Fatihah.

 

As-salaamu `alaykum.

 The Importance of Mawlid

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani

24 February 2010     Abidjan, Ivory Coast

Mawlid an-Nabi (s)

 

Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah nahmadhu wa nasta`eenu wa nastaghfiruhu wa nastaydihi bihi wa nashadu an laa ilaaha illa-Llah wahdahu la shareeka lahu wa nashahadu anna Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammadan `abduhu wa habeebuhu wa Rasooluh. Arsalahu 'Llaha ta`ala rahmatan li 'l-`ibaad, arsalahu Sayyidi 'l-Bashar, Khaatamu 'r-Rusul, `alayhi afdal as-salaatu wa 's-salaam.

 

I would like to say that in some countries around the world, tonight is the night of the Prophet's (s) birthday. It is the 12^th of Rabi` al-Awwal. In other countries like Cote’ d’Ivoire, the celebration of Mawlid An-Nabi (s) is tomorrow evening. So that is why I said in some countries it is tonight, and in other countries it is tomorrow. Whatever night it is, we hope Allah (swt) will dress us with the barakah and blessings of Sayyidina Muhammad (s). Whatever day it is, we hope that Allah (swt) will dress us with the blessings of Sayyidina Muhammad (s).

 

Today, I was in the car and on the radio they were speaking about the birthday of our Prophet (s). The speaker and the one who was asking the questions were discussing if the birthday of the Prophet (s) is an obligation (to celebrate) or is it something that people can or cannot do, is it up to them? The discussion went through and they came to an answer that some people considered that they have to do it and some people, they say "you cannot celebrate it." Then the discussion went into those who celebrate, may Allah (swt) bless them, and those who don’t like to celebrate, may Allah (swt) make them one day to celebrate it. They concluded on a very fine point, which I am questioning! They said, “It is not the night and the birth which is important. It is important what Prophet (s) brought with him, the Message.”

I say, you are wrong! Most important is the moment that Sayyidina Aminah (r) gave birth to the Prophet (s), because it is the beginning of Islam, so the birth of Muhammad (s) is the birth of Islam! It is important to know the date when Prophet Muhammad (s) was born and what we have to do on that night. It was not only he was born and finished, no! They were quoting Ibn Kathir (r) a big historian and eminent scholar, but they didn’t quote what happened in the mawlid when Prophet (s) was being born. What happened that the fire of Persia with its palaces where shutting down and went into an earthquake! The fire of Iran (Persia) stopped. Heavens were decorated by angels, happy for the birth of Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! That’s why the moment of the birth of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) is so important and we never accept anything other than that!

 

You Muslims! Husbands and wives! When your wives are not pregnant, you go crying day and night, running from one doctor to another doctor for your wife to have a child. When you have a child, you have a big celebration. People are sending you flowers to the hospital or to your home. People are coming and congratulating you and giving you gifts.

So what do you think about the birth of Sayyidina Muhammad (s)? (Mawlana stands.) The Messenger of Islam! The Messenger of Islam! The Messenger of Islam, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)!!! Alfu salaat, alfu salaam `alayka yaa Rasoolullah, yaa Rahmatuli 'l`Alameen, yaa Shafee`u 'l-mudhnibeen! (Mawlana sits.) It is the celebration of heavens, the celebration of the night of Sayyidina Muhammad's birth; it is not a simple celebration! All the angels were celebrating, because Allah (swt) created every creature for the sake of Sayyidina Muhammad (s.)

لولاك لولاك ما خلقت الأفلاك

Law laaka law laaka maa khalaqtal aflaak.

If not for you (O Muhammad!) I would not have created Creation. (Hadith of Law Laak)

 

Allah (swt) gave him that honor, He put His Name with the name, "Muhammad"; you cannot say, La ilaaha illa-Llah, without saying, Muhammadun Rasoolullah. If we say, La ilaaha illa-Llah alone, we are not Muslim! Allah (swt) raised Sayyidina Muhammad (s) to:

كان قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى

kaana qaaba qawsayni aw adna,

two bows' length or nearer, (53:9)

...where He did not raise anyone else, only His beloved, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)!

 

O Muslims! Do you not hear these (radio shows)? What they say to you, they are trying to poison you! Be careful in this country and try not to be poisoned. Celebration of Prophet’s (s) birthday has to be on the right day, and every night if you can. If you do not say in your prayer, As-salaamu `alayka ayyuha 'n-Nabiyy, your prayer is not accepted. Even if you read al-Fatihah, or the surah, or you read anything in the at-Tahiyaat, if you do not say, ayyuha 'n-Nabiyy your prayer is not perfect!

 

O Muslims! Open your minds, open your ears, open your hearts. Islam is not a toy to play with it, Islam is a religion of the heavens!

إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ اللّهِ الإِسْلاَمُ

Inna 'd-deen al-Islam.

The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will): (3:19).

The religion to Allah is Islam; there is no other religion, Christianity, Judaism, all came into Islam. Prophet (s) wrapped them completely in the religion of Islam. That is why we accept Sayyidina `Isa (a) and Sayyidina Musa (a), and we accept all holy books.

 

O Muslims! I am so surprised to hear today that story/conversation on the radio, and how they said the night of the birth of Prophet (s) is not important! No, it is important!! Allah (swt) said in Holy Qur'an, that Sayyidina Yahya (a) was saying:

وَسَلَامٌ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوْمَ يَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ يُبْعَثُ حَيًّا

wa salaamun `alayhi yawma wulida wayawma yamootu wayawma yub`athu haayyaa

"May peace and blessings be upon Sayyidina Yayha the day he was born..." (Surah Maryam 19:15)

Allah (swt) emphasized the birth of Sayyidina Yahya (a), so won't Allah (swt) celebrate and emphasize the birth of Sayyidina Muhammad (s)?

 

وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوْمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ أُبْعَثُ حَيًّا

Wa as-salaamu `alayya yawma wulidtu wa yawma `amootu wa yawma ub`athu hayyaa.

Peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day when I will be (again) raised up to life! (19:33)

 

Allah (swt) said in the Holy Qur’an that Sayyidina Isa (a) was saying, “I was so pleased and so blessed on the day of my birth.” (Surah Maryam) This is Holy Qur’an mentioning in two different ayats. One blessing was on the day Sayyidina Yahya was born, and one blessing the day of Sayyidina Isa was born. What about Sayyidina Muhammad (s)? Allah (swt) created `Isa and Musa and Nuh and Ibrahim (a) for Sayyidina Muhammad (s). Celebrate his birthday!!! Don’t feel afraid, don’t let them poison you! Sorry that I am so angry, but this is the situation I am hearing today. May Allah (swt) forgive us!

 

(Mawlana passes the mic to Shaykh Quddus, who returns it to Mawlana).

 ولد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في يوم الاثنين؛ لقوله صلى الله عليه وسلم حين سئل عن صوم يوم الاثنين: ذلك يوم ولدت فيه

As I said before about the celebration of the Prophet's birth, when he was asked about fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, he said to Sahabah (r), “Yes, fast on Mondays as it is the day of my birth.” He emphasized on the day of his birth.

When the maid-servant of Abu Lahab gave him good tidings of a nephew just born, and his name is Muhammad, he was so happy when Prophet (s) was born, and that is Abu Lahab, whom Allah (swt) mentioned  in the Holy Qur’an as one to be thrown in the Hellfire! Andyet when he heard that good news, he immediately freed his maid-servant. What about when, after Abu Lahab died, one Sahaabi (r) saw him in a dream, telling him to say to people, “Every Monday Allah (swt) stops my punishment, because I freed my servant on the day Prophet Muhammad was born.”

 

Wa min Allahi 't-tawfeeq. May Allah (swt) forgive us all. bi hurmati 'l-habeeb, bi hurmati 'l-Fatihah.

We Are Honored to Celebrate Mawlid an-Nabi (s)!

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani

19 February 2010     Burton, Michigan

Jumu`ah Khutbah at As-Siddiq Mosque

 

 

O Muslims, we are in the month when Allah (swt) gave birth to Islam. In this month, Islam was appearing by the birth of Sayyidina Muhammad (s). We are in the month of Rabi` ul-Awwal, the month that Prophet (s) was born. And in that month we have to know that Allah (swt) has sent His Messenger not from the day he became 40 years-old but when Adam was between clay and water.

كنت نبي و ادم بين الماء و الطين

Kuntu Nabiyyin wa adamu bayna 'l-ma'i wa 't-teen,

I was a prophet when Adam was between water and clay.

So Sayyidina Muhammad has said, "Without pride, I am the master, I am the khalifah and I am the deputy for all Children of Adam. Allah gave me that power, that leadership, and I am the leader." So Prophet never said, laa, "no'; he always says, sami`na wa 'ata`naa, “We hear and we obey.” If you look at the history of prophets you see many of them asked Allah (swt), "Why?" even angels. When Allah (swt) said, "I am going to make a deputy on Earth," the angels said, "Will you appoint those who are going to be hypocrites and shedding blood?" He said, "I know what you do not know!"

 وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلاَئِكَةِ إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً قَالُواْ أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاء وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ قَالَ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Wa 'idh qala Rabbuka lil mala`ikati 'inni jaa`ilun fee al-'ardi khaleefata. Qaaloo 'ataj`alu feehaa man yufsidu feehaa wa yasfiku ad-dimaa` wa nahnu nusabbihu bihamdika wa nuqaddisu laka. Qaala innee `alamu maa laa ta`lamoon.

Behold, your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a vicegerent on Earth." They said, "Will You place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood, while we celebrate Your praises and glorify Your Holy (Name)?" He said, "I know what you know not!" (2:30)

وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوْمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ أُبْعَثُ حَيًّا

Wa as-salaamu `alayya yawma wulidtu wa yawma `amootu wa yawma ub`athu hayyaan.

Peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day when I will be (again) raised up to life! (19:33)

 

Allah gave the most important message to Sayyidina Muhammad (s), who never complained or said "no," laa.

 وَقَالُواْ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ

wa qaalloo sam`inaa wa at`anaa ghufraanaka rabbana wa `ilayka 'l-maseer. 

And they say, 'We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys. (2:285)

 

Those who were around him said the Prophet (s) said and taught them, sami`na wa 'ata`naa, "We hear and we obey." Are we listening? We don’t want to say that, of course, we are not listening, because they said whatever they listened to they obeyed, and whom did they obey?

طِيعُواْ اللّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ الرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِي الأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ

Ati`oollaha wa ati`oo 'r-Rasoola wa ooli 'l-amri minkum.

Obey Allah, obey the Prophet, and obey those in authority among you. (4:59)

That is why you have to obey. Prophet (s) showed us Sahaaba (r) can do their best, and they became his companions. But Tabi`een or Tabi`oon, the next generations who followed the Sahaaba (r), followed in the footsteps of Prophet's `ittibah. It is important to have guidance. Allah sent Sayyidina Muhammad (s) as a guide. So ask yourself, "Am I following guidance correctly or am I doing some and then leaving some?" Sometimes if we follow then we reach.

أصحابي كالنجوم بأيهم اقتديتم اهتديتم

Prophet (s) said, ashaabee ka 'n-nujoom bi ayyihim iqtadaytum ihtadaytum, "My companions are like stars in a dark night, whichever of them you follow, you will be guided."

Ashaab is not only men, they are women also. Anyone of them from you take knowledge, you will be guided. Sahaaba (r) used to take knowledge from Hadrat `Ayesha (r) or Hadrat Fatimah (a); there are many ahadeeth (that support this).

So what is Prophet (s) showing us? Not to have a question mark. You have to obey, no questions!

وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَى إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَى

Wa maa yantiqoo `anil-hawaa, in huwa illa wahyayn yooha.
Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire. It is no less than revelation sent down to him. (53:3-4)
"He doesn’t open his mouth without it being revealed to him."

I was hearing that they reject the ahadeeth of Prophet, saying, "We don’t want to read hadith, we only want to read Qur'an." You are wrong, and Allah (swt) said about them, wa maa yantiqoo `anil hawa, in huwa `illa wahyayn yooha. His hadith is also a revelation, meaning any word or anything he said is a revelation.

 

O Muslims! Allah (swt) gave us through Prophet (s) many ways to save ourselves and I will quote two or three from many hadith, and especially we are in the month of his birth, which is coming on the 12th Rabi`ul-Awwal, either 24th or 25th February. They asked Prophet (s) about fasting on Monday and this is the answer for those who are not accepting the Mawlid and to celebrate the Prophet's (s) birthday. Read the Sahih of Muslim (book of hadith).

Hadhaa yawmu wulidu feehi, "This is a day I was born; in it fast." No problem. It means Prophet (s) has shown the importance of fasting on Monday.

 

If Sayyidina Yahya (a) and Sayyidina `Isa (a) are celebrating their birthday, Sayyidina Muhammad (s) does not have higher honor than that, to celebrate his birthday?

وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوْمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ أُبْعَثُ حَيًّا

Wa as-salaamu `alayya yawma wulidtu wa yawma `amūtu wa yawma ub`athu hayyaa.

So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)! (19:33)

 

O Muslims! Open your minds! Don’t stand on the Day of Judgment with enmity to Prophet (s). He is saying, "Who is under Adam on the Day of Judgment will be under my flag." There will be a problem that you did not give Prophet (s) respect during your life! Sayyidina Yahya (s) said, "Peace be on me the day I was born." Prophet Muhammad (s) does not have that right?

ذَلِكَ الَّذِي يُبَشِّرُ اللَّهُ عِبَادَهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ قُل لَّا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى وَمَن يَقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَّزِدْ لَهُ فِيهَا حُسْنًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ

Dhaalika al-ladhee yubashshiru allahu`ibaadahu 'l-ladheena amanoo wa `amiloo 's-saalihaat. Qul laa as'alukum `alayhi ajraan illa al-mawaddata fi 'l-qurba. Wa man yaqtarif hasanatan nazid lahu feehaa husnaa. Inna Allaha ghafoorun shakoor.

Allah gives glad tidings to His servants who believe and do righteous deeds. Say, "No reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near relatives." And if anyone earns any good We will increase it's benefit, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Thankful. (42:23)

 

So on that day, we have to pay our respect to Sayyidina Muhammad, `alayhi afdala 's-salaatu wa 's-salaam!  O Muslims! That day is coming! Around the world there are many demonstrations and marches on the street, people are showing their love to Prophet (s). Food will be distributed, millions are celebrating, giving charity, to pay back. Allah (swt) is saying, "I don’t want you to pay anything except in honor!" Allah (swt) honored Prophet (s) with something no one else ever achieved: he was raised to qaaba qawsayni aw adna, two-bows' length or nearer to his Divine Creator! When someone famous achieves something great, they say, "This is the most respected one in dunya." What do you think about the Prophet (s), who has been raised to be the closest in the Divine Presence?

 

O Muslims! That day is coming and Allah is watching who is going to give respect to His Prophet or not. They will be under intercession. They are not shy, because they paid their respect to him in dunya, but those who did not will also get his shafa`ah, because Prophet (s) is Rahmatan lil-`Alameen (Mercy to All the Worlds)! But we don’t want to regret (when we stand before Allah). Allah (swt) will forgive when He has the power to punish you, and Prophet (s) will also forgive on that Day because he is not like us; he will forgive when he has the power to punish!

O Muslims! Keep his love in your heart. Come through that door, to the love of your Prophet (s)!

Arabic du`a.

 The Muhammadan Ticket

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani
21 February 2010 Fenton Zawiya, Michigan

A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.

Nawaytu 'l-arba`een, nawaytu 'l-`itikaaf, nawaytu 'l-khalwah, nawaytu 'l-`uzlah,

nawaytu 'r-riyaadah, nawaytu 's-sulook, lillahi ta`ala fee haadha 'l-masjid.

Ati`ullaha wa ati`u 'r-Rasoola wa ooli 'l-amri minkum.

Obey Allah, obey the Prophet, and obey those in authority among you. (4:59)

No one can reach to be a sultan except one, Sultan al-Anbiyaa, `alayhi afdal as-salaat w 'as-salaam. (Mawlana stands, recites salawaat.) When Allah (swt) said, I am going to make a khalifah, deputy on Earth, He didn't say 'khulafah' (plural), He said, I am going to appoint on Earth one khalifah. It means He is going to give salaahiyyah, control and responsibility to that one. Allah (swt) gave that authority to Prophet (s), who can have many deputies, but he is the main khalifah of Allah, the divine deputy on Earth.

وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلاَئِكَةِ إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً قَالُواْ أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاء وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ قَالَ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Wa idh qaala innee ja`ilun fil-`ardi khalifah, qaaloo ataj`alu feeha man yufsidu feeha wa yasfiku ad-dimaa wa nahnu nusabbihu bi-hamdika wa nuqaddisu laka qaala innee a`lamu maa laa ta`lamoon.

Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said: "Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood?- whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not." (2:30)

That is why: When Allah (swt) said to the angels: "I am going to make a khalifah on Earth," they said, "Are you going to make a khalifah on Earth that will make bloodshed and corruption?" Because they didn't look at Prophet (s), but they looked at human beings in general. Had they looked at Prophet (s) they would never say that, but they didn't. So Allah (swt) said, "I know who I am putting, You don't know." Because they complained, He made them make sajdah to Adam (a) to show them that sajdah is really going back to Sayyidina Muhammad (s). Because they complained, He gave them more difficulty through their sajdah to Adam, where they know sajdah is to Allah (swt) only. So that is teaching for us, don't complain; if you complain you get bigger test. That was their biggest test, to make sajdah to Adam. Only Allah (swt) knows when angels were created, and they are still being created. Even after the Day of Resurrection and this Earth is finished, Allah’s creating is non-stop, and angels are in sajdah since they were created.
 

So Allah (swt) said, innee ja`ilun fil-`ardi khalifah, "I am going to make a khalifah on Earth." Here "Earth" doesn't represent this small planet, because every planet is an earth, you can step on it; anything that has mass is an earth. And this universe is full of planets, one we live on, but there are earths that never end. All these stars are earths, even the sun has mass so it is an earth for some kind of Creation, Allah (swt) knows. So when Allah (swt) said, “I am making a khalifah on Earth,” that means one who is responsible for maa siwa-Allah, anything that is other than Allah, because it is created. Allah (swt) is Creator, anything other than Him is created by Him, and Prophet (s) is His khalifah, responsible to Allah (swt) for His Creation.

When angels make sajdah, it means they are not of the level of the khalifah whom Allah (swt) is appointing, as when you bow it is to someone higher than you. When angels make sajdah to Adam (a), Allah (swt) telling them Adam is higher. So what about the one that is higher, the khalifah, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)? By that Allah (swt) is showing angels that, "Sayyidina Muhammad (s) is the one responsible for you and for everyone in dunya and akhirah. I am asking him and not asking you."

So Allah (swt) gave importance for His Prophet a level that people cannot understand. Angels could not understand, how can Salafis understand? Who can understand?! Even normal Ahl as-Sunnah scholars cannot understand!

Angels complained, “How are we going to make sajdah to those who are corrupt and going to make bloodshed?”

Allah answered, "O! You didn't see Prophet among them, that he is higher than all human beings and he is Seal of Messengers? He is higher than you, O angels."

That is why they bowed. When you bow it means that one is higher. So the real khalifah is given to Prophet (s) and can only be one, not two. But there are inheritors of  Prophet and that is why he said:

أصحابي كالنجوم بأيهم اقتديتم اهتديتم 

ashaabee ka 'n-nujoom bi-ayyihim aqtadaytum ahtadaytum,

"My Sahaaba are like stars; whichever one you follow, you will be guided."

However, Allah (swt) has only one, the others are deputies of Prophet (s). They are helpers for Prophet and they are in his presence, helping and presenting their followers. Also Sultan al-Awliya is only one, who is responsible for all awliyaa, and responsible to present his followers. When he asks, Prophet will ask that one, who in turn will ask directly from the wali responsible for that particular issue.

So it is impossible to understand the greatness of Prophet (s). That is what Mawlana is teaching in these last seven-to-eight months (of live broadcasts on Sufilive.com). He wants to fill the hearts of his followers and those who are not followers with the tremendous love of Prophet (s). There is no other way to Paradise except with the 'Muhammadan Ticket' which you cannot acquire except by expressing that love in your heart; that means to follow his way. When you love someone you follow whatever he asks you to do. If he says go left, go left, go right, go right, can you say no? No. Help this one, help that one, he tells to you obey, and do this prayer, you pray. And yet we are not following and fully showing our love to Prophet (s)! But under his rahmah, his shafa`ah, he will save us. We are like ants going so slowly and like with a tweezer, he will pick up that ant and put it in front. We will be blessed if his fingers are the tweezers that take us as the ant and put us on the back of the elephant.

What is the biggest creature? The elephant on Earth, and the whale in the ocean. So one time we are on the back of an elephant, one time on the back of a whale. They each represent greatness because they are great creatures. That means one time our teacher, Sultan al-Awliya, tried to teach us through assigning a specific awrad or a certain subhah to hear, and one time he puts you on his shoulders on Earth and one time on the ocean, which is part of Earth, but 'ocean' indicates ma`arifat, knowledge of Allah (swt). So from Earth to ocean they carry you. That is why Allah (swt) said, wa laqad karamna bani adam wa hamalnaahum fi 'l-barri wa 'l-bahr, wa razaqahum min at-tayyibaat. One time they carry you this way and one time that way, in order to take you to the presence of Prophet (s). Then we will be very happy if they take us like tweezers and with his holy hands, with his beautiful, holy fingers, Prophet (s) takes us to his presence and then from his presence to Allah's Presence.

That last step is only for awliyaullah; they are honored to reach that reality of the Presence of Allah Almighty. To reach there you have to follow what Prophet (s) said in one hadith related by al-Haakim in al-Mustadrak: "Who wants to be akram an-naas, the closest to Allah (swt) among people, must have taqwa." When you have makaarim al-akhlaaq, (akram means, "to be honored") fa 'l-yataqillah, "you must have taqwa," which means fear and love. You fear disobeying Him, you have that fear in your heart. You are always worried trying to do better and that is showing love to Allah (swt). If you want to be honored and to be in presence of Prophet (s), you must have taqwa in your heart or you will not be those who are sincere and pious.

Allah (swt) said in Holy Qur'an:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اتَّقُواْ اللّهَ وَكُونُواْ مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ

yaa ayyuhalladheena aamanoo ittaqullah wa koonoo ma` as-saadiqeen.

Believers! Don't say 'we believe,' but rather say, "we entered Islam.'" So we are not yet believers and we must run after believers. So the first step is to establish taqwa, by following in the footsteps of Prophet (s), then be with those who are trustworthy. “O you who believe! Have taqwa and then you have to be with those who are trustworthy." So if you love to be most honored ones, have taqwa, then you are mu'min, then you can have company with trustworthy ones.

When you have taqwa and you have belief, you are mu'min, then for sure Allah (swt) will send guidance. If you don't find a physical shaykh to guide you, Allah (swt) will send you inspirations to guide you through your heart, and that is the promise of Allah (swt), Who ordered, koonoo ma` as-saadiqeen. So if must have taqwa to be honored, you have to fear and love Allah (swt). And who wants to be the strongest of people in belief, to be among the nearest to Prophet, fa 'l-yatawakkal `alayh, let him depend on Allah (swt) in all matters. That means don't complain! If you want to know if you have tawakkul, it means you accept whatever comes to you.

That is why Sayyidina `Isa (a) said, if someone slaps you, turn your other cheek. That is tawakkul; it means, "I am accepting what came and giving my other cheek."
That was the manifestation of Sayyidina `Isa's teaching, and the teaching Prophet (s) showed was higher. Because when you turn your cheek that is still showing ego, saying, "You hit me and here is my other cheek; I am better than you (as accept your abuse)." Prophet (s) taught to not show anything, just keep going on your way. Don’t show anger, as in the story of the wrestler that we narrated many times.

If you want to be honored by Allah (swt) what is the second step? It is to depend on Allah (swt) in anything. So anyone who complains, either wife or husband or children, it means they are not on that high level. They are trying their best, but we have to eliminate complaining from our hearts. It is very rare to see Mawlana Shaykh complain. You come to him saying, "eat this, drink this." Okay, no choice for him. They come with all problems, he never refused. If someone hurt him, he doesn't say it; instead he will help that person in any way to show that, "You criticized me and I am offering you something better in return." That means don't complain, then at that time you will see Allah (swt) loves you. wa man yuhib an yakoonu aththiq an-naas. The one who wants to be the richest person in dunya or in akhira must keep depending on Allah (swt) and not attributing his wealth to himself, but showing gratitude to Allah (swt) for the wealth He bestowed.

Our duty is to follow the hadeeth of Prophet and to be more near by understanding the greatness of Prophet (s) in our life. Allah (swt) said:

وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ وَحَمَلْنَاهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ

wa laqad karamna Bani Adam wa razaqnaahum mina at-tayyibaat

We have honored Bani Adam provided them with transport on land and sea; (17:70)

We have to understand we have been honored by the holy presence of Prophet (s), not that Allah (swt) only honored them to be human beings, but He honored them by putting Prophet (s) among them. He gave to Ummat an-Nabi, which means all Creation, as He gave to them the one who is His khalifah. So may Allah (swt) make us happy with the khalifah of Allah (swt), Sayyidina Muhammad (s), and make us happy to be with the khalifah of Prophet, Sayyidee Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani (q)!

Heavens and Earth Rejoice for Mawlid an-Nabi (s)!

Sultan al-Awliya

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani

22 February 2010    Lefke, Cyprus

Bismillah Sayyidee, madad. (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) La ilaaha illa-Llah, la ilaaha illa-Llah, la ilaaha illa-Llah, Sayyidina Muhammad-ur Rasoolullah. Sayyidi 'l-awwaleen wa’l-akhireen, Sayyidina Muhammad (s), zidhu `izzan wa sharafan, nooran wa surooran. Shafa`atak, asking your intercession, opposite of those foolish people denying your shafa`a. shafa`ata 'l-uzhma is for you! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

 

Sultan al-Awliya, asking your heavenly support, O our master who is controlling everything on this planet. Allah Allah, Allahu akbar al-akbar. And we are saying dastoor, asking for your support. We are weak ones, knowing nothing. Teach us everything necessary to be good servants for the Lord of Heavens. Beginning of good adab is to to say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem, declaring that we are not with shaytanic groups. So many groups are under the umbrella of Islam. The Prophet is saying they are going to be 73 sects; one of them going to be safe here and successful here and Hereafter, and much more honored through Creation, only one of them.

 

Sahaaba (r), companions of the Holy Prophet (s) are asking, "Who are they, O our beloved one?”
Prophet (s) is answering, “Those who will be with me and following you, because you are following me. And they will try to follow you because they are knowing your ways are just straight, Siraatu 'l-Mustaqeem. There is one, there can’t be two Siraatu 'l-Mustaqeem. You and who following you will be burkateen najiyyah, a saved group of people. They will be in Paradise, because their way is just the true way."
"What about the other 72 groups?"
"They are going to claim that, ‘We are with the Seal of Prophets,’ but they are liars. They are not following me, they are following Shaytan. Each of the 72 parties are with Shaytan. If Shaytan wasn't with them, first of all they are going to respect me. They are not respecting me because Shaytan is saying to them, ‘You are on the right way,' but they are not on right way.”

That is important because of their teachers and leaders, Shaytan, who is putting something in those 72 groups. If you are asking who are they, it is so easy. Tomorrow night is the birthday of the Prophet (s), Milad un-Nabi. Those who are refusing a celebration for the Seal of Prophet's birthday, you know they are with Shaytan. This is because Shaytan is so hasood, envious of the Seal of Prophets (s), and is making people not celebrate a happy birthday or the first night of the Seal of Prophets (s). All those people are celebrating a small one's birthday, ptuuh (spits), and if you are having a birthday for Seal of Prophets they say it is forbidden, shirk, (polytheism), bida` (innovation), kufr (disbelief).

 

There is going to be on their heads raghabAllah, cursing for them! They are so envious of the one who is to be respected, the most glorified one for Creation! What is that? Shaytan is unhappy; he is envious of the Seal of Prophets (s), of the most beloved, the most glorified, the most honored one. Shaytan is the most envious one against the Seal of Prophets, against Allah's beloved one, the most beloved one in the Divine Presence! I am asking to you, O Salafi `ulama and Wahhabi people, who is most beloved one in the Divine Presence? Say!! (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) If Muhammad is not that one then who is going to be in the Divine Presence?!! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

 

You are Arab and you are understanding Arabic. Allah (swt) said to His Beloved:

لولاك لولاك ما خلقت الأفلاك
Law laak law laak maa khalaqtu 'l-aflaak.
Were it not for you (O Muhammad!), I would not have created the heavenly bodies."

That is Arabic, yes, and you are saying it is not true, but we are saying haatoo burhaanukum, bring your proof! That is from hadith qudsee, that Allah is addressing His Beloved One (s), saying, “When and where, no time and space,” and addressing that conversation among Allah Almighty and His Seal of Prophets (s). Yes. Allah Almighty is saying that no one was knowing if the Seal of Prophets not saying this, no one was knowing, no one was bringing from his pocket a writing book and writing this, no. It is before time and before space, "no time and no space," when Allah Almighty is addressing to His most beloved one. One! To one!

 

O ignorant ones, O envious ones who are an enemy, who are followers of Shaytan, and who are khalifs of Shaytan! Someone is asking me, “O Shaykh, you are saying the Prophet’s khalifs are up to Day of Resurrection. What about Shaytan, does he also have khalifs?” Yes, Shaytan has khalifs who are against the Seal of Prophets (s), who are envious. They are khalifs of Shaytan. Khalifs are deputies or successors or real followers of Shaytan. Yes, it is so clear. Say anything different, you defend your ideas. From where are you bringing such a thing and saying such a thing is not true? Say! Law laak law laak maa khalaqtu 'l-aflaak, "Were it not for you, We would not have created the galaxies." For 1400 years this is well known, it is written for every `ulama up to today, that are following the way of the Prophet (s). Hatoo burhanakum, bring your proofs that it is not a real Hadeeth al-Qudsi. Say, from where are you bringing? Do you think that Islam is beginning with Muhammad `Abdu 'l-Wahhab, and the nation of Muslims following the wrong way and that all of them are going to be mushriqs (polytheists) and kasfir (unbelievers)? From where is he coming, `Abdu 'l-Wahhab? Suddenly something is appearing that is going against the Prophet (s)?

 

No, you are against Shari`atullah, against Allah's order. Islam is not beginning with `Abdu 'l-Wahhab, Islam began with the Seal of Prophets! They are asking, “Why are you saying we are 'Wahhabi'?” They are saying they are Wahhabi! I am asking a question to Salafi `ulama, one question. Are they reciting the Holy Qur'an? Who are saying, `ala dalaalah (misguided people)? How are you changing your name? Why are you not saying, “We are Muslims!” Allah Almighty is giving you the names of Muslims, why are you saying, “We are Wahhabi!" Why are you not saying, “We are Muslims!” You are breaking Islam and making the biggest sin, a crime in Islam. How are you not saying sammaakum (called/named you). How are you not saying, “We are becoming Muslim.” You are refusing for yourselves and saying, “We are Wahhabi!"

 

O People! Who are following Wahhabi  people, cursing is coming on them. I don't think he knows, tafriqa (division) is coming, in half-a-century not one of them is living on Earth. The whole world will be only for Muslims, and we are not saying, “We are Wahhabi,” we are saying, “We are Muslims.” I am saying to whole Muslim nations, why are you following those people? They are changing their names, saying, “We follow `Abdu 'l-Wahhab.” Why are you not saying, “We are Muslims.” Is `Abdu 'l-Wahhab a prophet? Giving you names that you are saying, “We are Wahhabi.” Which one of you is giving that authority to them? Followers of Shaytan, khaaf Allah, fear Allah, qudratuh (His Power), or no one is going to be on Earth.

 

I don’t think that anyone is reaching to Sayyidina `Isa (s) from those people who are saying, “We are Wahhabis.” This is a big claiming. We are getting this special declaration now, tonight, that they are on the wrong way because they are saying, “We are followers of `Abdu 'l-Wahhab,” and, “We are Wahhabis,” and giving their name that they are "Wahhabi."

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ

inna batsha rabbuka la shadeed.
Your Lord's punishment is severe. (Al-Buruj, 85:12)

Allahu Akbar `alayhim, Allahu Akbar `alayhim, Allahu Akbar `alayhim and upon his followers!

 

A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem.Where is real Islam and where are the (positions of) people now following wrong ways? They are so hasood, envious; they are never happy to be respecting the Seal of Prophets (s). Allah Almighty respected him! Allah Almighty is glorifying him the most! That means you are quarreling and fighting with Allah (swt)! You are fighting with Allah and saying, “Why are you with this one?”

 

 

Ohh, ohh, yaa Rabbee, subhaanallah! As-salaamu `alaykum our listeners,

  وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدَى

wa 's-salaamu `alaa mani 'ttaba`a 'l-huda.
Peace upon those who follow guidance. (20:47)

Peace upon those who follow the guidance of Prophet. Yes, we are trying to follow the ways of the Seal of Prophets (s), Sayyidi 'l-awwaleen wa 'l-akhireen. We are sinners, we know that we are sinners but I think that we are not assaulting the honor of the Seal of Prophets. We are sinners, but the most respected one is the Seal of Prophets (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) and we are hoping that he is going to give his intercession for his weak followers!

 

O our Lord! We don't like wrong people, and that fitna (corruption) will be the end of this period. So many fitnas just appeared, as the Seal of Prophets is informing, that so many imitated things will appear against real Islam from followers of Shaytan. They will come against the mansoor (Divinely-supported) position that they will say, “This is wrong, that is true.” Akhbathu 'n-naas, most dirty people, who are followers of their egos, heh? Egos are following Shaytan.

 

O our Lord! Keep us from not falling into Shaytan's traps. Shaytan is trying from the time of the Seal of Prophets (s) up to the end, saying, “I am not leaving your ummah to follow you, but I am making your ummah to follow me, particularly at the end of your period.” Shaytan did his worst in making people change their real beliefs into an unreality with no meaning. One person making such a big fitna through Islam, why? As the Seal of Prophets said, “There will be 73 sects.” He was warning his people, “O People! Look to the right way because so many ways are going to appear and everyone is going to say, ‘Come to our way, come to our way, come to our way,’ carrying you into their traps. All of them are falling from the bridge of Siraat, down." May Allah forgive us.

 

O People! It is not easy what we are saying, because Thursday (Wednesday night) is the birthday of the Seal of Prophets (s), a celebration against their wrong ideas going to be on Earth as well as on heavens. All of the heavens are going to be decorated with such a decoration that has never appeared before this year, for glorifying the "Happy Birth Night" of the Seal of Prophets (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Yaa Muhammad!! Yaa Allah!! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) 

 

Whole angels, whole real Muslims, their souls are singing, their real beings are singing, yaa Muhammad, Dost Muhammad canım pek sever seni. Thousands and thousands of such a beautiful singing through the heavens; billions and billions that night will be in celebration in the heavens, for real mu'mins whose hearts are full with the love of Sayyidina Muhammad!! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) Therefore, whole Muslims through the centuries, are singing and reciting:

 

Huuuuu Huuuu Huuuuu Huuuuu Huuuuuu Huuuuuu

Huuuuu Huuuu Huuuuu Huuuuu Huuuuuu Huuuuuu Huuuu yaa Muhammad

Huu Huuu Huuuu Huuu Huuuuu Hu Huuu Hu Huuu Hu Huuuu Huuuu Hu Huuuuuu.

Fatihah.

 

From Never-ending Oceans, what are we saying is for tazeem, glorification of the Seal of Prophets (s), and it is less than an atom!

Huu Huuuu Huuuu Huuuuu Huuuu Huuuu. 

O angels, take them away, those who are envious, who are hating the Seal of Prophets (s), the most beloved one in the Divine Presence! Take them away or take them on his way.

Fatihah.
