Dastoor yaa Sayyiddee. (Mawlana Shaykh stands.)

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Azeez Allah

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, SubhaanAllah.

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Sultaan Allah.

Salli wa sallim wa baarik `ala Habeebika Sayyidi 'l-awwaleen wa 'l-akhireen. Yaa Rabbee, yaa rabbighfi 'r w 'arham anta khayru 'r-rahimeen. Bibarakata Habeebika 'l-Mustafa irham d`aafana irham dhulluna, yaa Rabb!  (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

 

As-salaamu `alaykum, al-haadireen, wa raaghibeen, wa 'l-`ashiqeen, wa 'l-mushtaaqeen! Bi barakatihim irham d`aafana irham dhulluna yaa Rabbi 'l-`izzati wa 'l-`azhaamati wa 'l-Jabaroot. A `oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem. Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa billahi 'l-Aliyyu 'l-Azheem. 

O People! Ayyuha 'n-naas, everyone that is living on this planet! Give your attention, because your attention is going to be like a ladder; when you are giving much more attending, then more and more heavenly presence has been sent to our very poor, our very weak meeting. It likes to be all Mankind to give their attentions. And we are saying, O our one responsible for this world and everything happening on it, we are asking from your heavenly power to make us to be ready for understanding what is necessary to be understood.

O Salafi `ulamas, marhaban! What we shall do? We must say; what is sent to me I must say. Balligh maa unzila ilayk. Is it aayatu 'l-kareemah; what do you think, Salafi `ulamas? Balligh. "Say what We are sending to you, O Our most beloved one, what We are ordering to you, commanding to you, showing to you, making you to love it, to keep it, say to people!" 

O Salafi `ulamas, marhaban! What do you understand from this? What is the little bit of meaning, or what is Allah Almighty meaning with that ayatu 'l-kareemah:

بَلِّغْ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ

Balligh maa unzila ilayk?

Proclaim the (message) which hath been sent to thee. (5:67)

What are we going to balligh? To reach to people; first, their real beings, because we have a being that is not so important, our physical being is not so important! If it was important then this important being could not be changed into earth! Therefore, khitaabu 'l-haqq, Allah Almighty is addressing, to whom? To you or to me? No, He is addressing only one. Understanding or not? Use your minds! And that order balligh, translate it, reach to people. With which thing? It is strange and so glorious addressing! "O My Habeeb, O My beloved one, reach to people what I am sending to you!"

Tanzeel, what had been sent through Holy Qur'an, balligh, "Reach to My servants." How he is reaching? There is a screwdriver, use and open. O our claiming ones that are followers of Salaf us-Saalih, what are you understanding from that heavenly addressing, balligh? What is he going to reach people with it? With which thing he had been ordered to reach people? And you have two standards of being: one physical being and one spiritual being, one heavenly and one earthly. And you have through heavens, seven names. I am asking have you heard about that, O Salaf us-Saalih? It is a simple question. When Allah Almighty was addressing to people on the Day of Promises:

وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِن بَنِي آدَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قَالُواْ بَلَى شَهِدْنَا أَن تَقُولُواْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَذَا غَافِلِينَ

Wa idh aakhadha rabbuka min banee adama min dhuhoorihim dhurriyyatahum wa ashhadahum `ala anfusihim alastu bi rabbikum, qaaloo balaa shahidnaa an taqooloo yawma al-qiyaamati inna kunna `an haadha ghaafileen.

When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves (regarding), "Am I not your Lord?" they said, "Yes, we do testify!" (This reminder), unless you will say on the Day of Judgment, "Of this we were never mindful." (7:172)       

You know about Allah Almighty's first divinely meeting to our real beings through heavens, when the Lord of Heavens was asking from everyone, Alastu bi Rabbikum. Wa ashadahum Rabbuna wa j`ala. Allah Almighty brought everyone that will come on this planet up to the end of this planet. That is addressing, so what is your knowledge about that view? What is your understanding? Where were they, do you know? Why do you not know? That is a question and you are claiming, “We are Salafi `ulamas.” You know, but what were the teachers you are saying you are related to, Salaf us-Saalih, saying about that great meeting?

Adam (a) and all of his descendants, wa ashadahum `ala anfusihim alastu bi Rabbikum. It is important to know, was Allah Almighty saying only commonly for future, one after one? No one is able to say anything about that through their elementary knowledge; can't be able to say! That level is only for those people whose knowledge is reaching that level and their eyes are opened! That means they reached haalatu 'l-kashf , where veils are opened. Another, if they are coming, I may come next there, Allah Almighty when opening this mashhadi yawmin `azheem, a very glorious panorama. How was Allah Almighty's addressing to people commonly or one after one? What is your answer, you know it? You are claiming you know everything, so say!

 

Allah Almighty's glorious addressing is to our souls, not to our physical being. Mukhaatib, Allah Almighty addressing our souls! One after one, or commonly? You know about this? If you don't know you must say, "We don't know." Yes, if Allah Almighty speaking His glorious addressing for all, it is only to say, “yaa `ibaadi,” commonly, “O My servants, are you accepting that I created you and you are My servants?" Qaalu bala. The important thing is that that is from secret knowledge that the Lord of Heavens, Allah Almighty, just addressed to some specialized ones! You can think that His addressing is for all people, but through that there was a divine happening that you can't understand, that Allah Almighty, bi nafsu 'l-waqt, no time there and no space! If no time, no space! If no space, what are positions of souls?

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, `Azeez Allah!

O Salafi `ulamas! Don't worry, just say, "We don't know, but someone must know." If you do not know, ask Salafi `ulamas what they are saying! Mashhadun adheem, (a great scene)! It was one opening from great Glory Oceans. And another question: how many Adams did Allah Almighty created, only one Adam? What do you think? Perhaps you are denying when Muhyiddin ibn `Arabi (q) was saying that there were 124, 000 Adams, and our Adam was the last one. Mostly you are saying but not understanding; only someone with a heavenly connection can understand. Those in a relationship with heavenly ones may understand. But yet you are not opening your wings, they are only a size; if growing, those wings may take you up, look and see. Muhyiddin ibn `Arabi, may Allah bless his soul, qaddas Allahu sirruh, was not lying or cheating or asking any benefit from people, as his importance was only with his Lord.

 

O Salafi `ulamas, marhaban! Don't claim, “We know something.” No, someone comes and makes your knowledge into Unseen corners. You know also that divine attributes are mustamir, continuous, yeah? Never-ending! Do you think that divine addressing just finished? Is Allah (swt), with His endless glory, only addressing a handful of people and finishing, or addressing continuously?

Another question: mustamirrun, what does it mean? You know mustammir means "continuously", but in Arabic you are understanding mustammir. T`ateel, any divinely attribute, you can't stop it or take it away, because our Lord's heavenly attributes are azaliyun wa abadiyun, from pre-Eternity up to Eternity.

 

O Salafi `ulamas! I know nothing, but you also know nothing! We are speaking on something that Allah Almighty was addressing commonly. So for example, when we are saying there is an instrument, a satellite, it is one, but it is reaching everywhere there is a connection. How Allah Almighty knows His Creation? Do they not have any connection with their Creator? Must be, because if there is no relationship through Creation, they not coming into creation and can't appear! And Allah Almighty is not waiting, `Azaali, Abaadi, no one knows its real meaning or understanding.

O Salafi `ulamas, marhaban! Don't think what Allah Almighty sent to His most beloved Servant (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Sayyidina Muhammad (s), the Holy Qur’an is like a reading book in schools! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) Allah Allah, Allah Allah. And the Lord of Heavens, the Lord of Mankind's addressing, is mustamirrun, continuous!

O our Salafi `ulamas! What do you think about Allah Almighty; do you think He is not recognizing His servants? Can you, among hundreds of children, know your child? Allah Almighty created dhurriyata Adam, descendants of Adam (a). Is He not knowing who is that one or that one? And you also know, (Mawlana Shaykh coughs.) ptuu (spit) on Shaytan! Shaytan is making people... on Shaytan, I am ptuu; on Shaytan and his followers also! Once again ptuu on Shaytan and its followers! You also say, ptuu!!! Tawbah, astaghfirullah! And you, among hundreds of children, do you know which ones are your children? You also know their names? How? That is important also, our Salafi `ulamas, marhaban! Marhaban yaa marhaban! You know your children? "Yes." You know their names? "Yes." Allah Almighty created our dharra, real beings of Mankind through that big mashhad, panorama. Ptuuh on Shaytan once again! Shaytan is also angry with me. Perhaps whoever is angry with me, Shaytan is very happy with him. Therefore, uhadh-dhirrukum, I am warning Salafis, la taghdab ` alayya, don't be angry with me. Shaytan is very angry with me, who is, man tashshabbah bi qawmin fa huwa minhum (who imitates a people is one of them). Shaytan is swearing and I am swearing and making ptuuh on Shaytan! Therefore, Salaf us-Saalih, beware, ahdhar, don't be angry with me, be angry with Shaytan. That is true.

 

Now another question is coming. You have children, do you know their numbers? "Yes." If your children are among hundreds of children, you may find them and call them by their names. Okay? Okay. That day when Allah Almighty was saying, alastu bi rabbikum dhurriyata Adam, common khitaab aw khaas, or private? Awliyaas reaching to that level know that Allah Almighty addressed everyone through that mashhad, that panorama, with seven names. You never heard such a thing, I know. And they are running, running, mustammirum, that Adam, new Adams, new generations, and knowing their names and seven names, saying the first one that addressing for people from seven, was "`AbdAllah."

 

Wa min Allahi 't-tawfeeq. We may stop here, closing down, because if we are opening, we are never knowing to get out. Don't claim, “We are ` ulamas,” but, kun taaliban, be students, so you may know more, and more, and more.

May Allah forgive us for the honor of the Seal of Prophets, (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

 

Fatihah.

Hear and listen, Your Holiness, Pope! Hear and listen and try to understand, Chief Rabbi! Try to hear and listen to heavenly addressing to people from every kind of nations through their beliefs! They are making me to speak on top level; no one can pass over it.

 

May Allah forgive me and you also.

 

Fatihah.

After Salat al-`Isha at As-Siddiq Mosque

 

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)

As-salaamu `alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.

Kalimatan khafeefatan ala al-lisan thaqeelatan ala al-mizan: SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi subhanAllahu al-'azheem.

Two words light on the tongue heavy on the scales: SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi subhanAllahu al-'azheem.

 

As we said earlier this afternoon, discussing what our Lord Allah (swt) has given to whom He likes; a level that no one can reach except one (s). Whatever they try, it is not possible for anyone as it has been given only for one, whom Allah (swt) created to dress him with that characteristic. So that one has to carry all different manifestations that Allah (swt) is giving to humanity, first has to go through that one (s) and from him it spreads to everyone else.

 

That is why we said that a child always runs toward his father. Like Mersad here; his son is attached to him, and if his son says right now, “I want to go out,” can he say to him, “No?” He cannot; he has to take him out because of love. Allah (swt) made Sayyidina `Isa “Ruhullah” (Spirit of Allah), Sayyidina Musa “Kaleemullah” (Speaks with Allah), and Sayyidina `Ibraheem “Khaleelullah” (Friend of Allah). You can say `Isa Ruhullah but you cannot say Allah Ruhu `Isa! You can say Musa Kaleemullah, but you cannot say Allah Kaleem Musa. You can say `Ibraheem Khaleelullah, but you cannot say Allah Khaleelu `Ibraheem. But you can say Muhammad Habeebullah and you can say Allah Habeebu Muhammad. Sayyidina Muhammad is the beloved of Allah, and the beloved of Muhammad is Allah (swt). The one who is beloved to Allah (swt) has to be given everything.

 

What happened to Mersad? He left! His son told him, "Come out," and he went out. Allah (swt) will not leave anything that He wants to give to humanity without it passing through His lover. First it has to go through the door, it has to first go through Sayyidina Muhammad (stands, salawat). It first has to go through Rasoolullah (s) and then from Prophet (s) it has to be divided or reflected to humanity. It is like rays from the center of a circle: one might receive thin rays, another will receive thick rays, but everyone will receive something. From the center to the circumference, how many radius' can you have? If a circle is 10 inches or yards in diameter, or has a length of 10 feet, how many radius' can there be from the center to the circumference? Does anyone know? Or five feet in diameter. From the center of the circle of five feet in diameter, how many radius' from center to the circumference? Infinite.

 

So whether you go smaller or bigger it is still infinite because radius' can be thinner than a hair and can be thicker than the universe. This universe is a huge universe; it is a circle and the circle has to have a center. Can there be a circle without a center? So in the universe, this galaxy that we are seeing, where is the center? There must be a center, a focal point that you say is the center and from there infinite numbers of radius' go everywhere. Where is the center of this universe? The most important point in the universe must be the one whom Allah (swt) gave the universe. He is the focal point! He is the one whom the poet Imam al-Busairi said, huwa 'l-habeeb alladhee turja shafa`atahu. Li-kulli hawlin mina 'l-ahwali muqtahami. "Beloved by Allah is he, upon whose pleading we depend. From the terrors of the Day of Judgment, which on us descend." He is the lover and everyone is seeking his shafa`, intercession against every difficulty. Is that shafa` given to you or this one or that one? No, it is given to only one and he is the center of the universe.

 

You cannot say laa ilaaha illa-Llah without saying Muhammadun Rasoolullah (s) or else your imaan is not complete. La ilaaha illa-Llah hasbee wa Muhammadun Rasoolullah hubbee. The reality of the love that Allah (swt) gave to His beloved one, He did not give it to anyone. (Mawlana stands, salawat) So that means he is the center of the universe. When Allah (swt) wants to look at His universe, He looks at Sayyidina Muhammad (s). If you are a king, where do you look first? You first look at the ministers or cabinet of minsters who are around you. This is in worldly life and is well-known. In heavenly life, when the Creator, Rabb al-`Alameen, Lord of the Worlds, wants to look, He looks in every moment and first His Look manifests on His beloved; the secrets of all His Beautiful Names and Attributes. He is the beloved one and everyone is in need of his shafa`, his intercession.

 

That is why when the blind man came to the Prophet (s) and said, "Yaa Rasoolullah (s), O Messenger of Allah (swt) I would like to come and pray with you at Fajr time but I am blind and it is very difficult to come. I have no one to help take me to be with you. Can you teach me a du`a that can make me see?" Who can make a blind person see? When someone loses his eyesight, how can you bring his vision back? There is no more light in the eyes, it is gone. The Prophet (s) said to him, "Can you be patient?" He said, "I cannot be patient. I can be patient but out of love to you I want to come and pray with you and at least to hear your voice but it is difficult for me. I want a prayer that will cause me to see." And wasn´t the Prophet (s) able to put his finger on his eyes and make him see again? Yes, he can say, "Be" and it is. Through that blind man he wants to teach us something we can use in the future, to use that du`a to solve our problems. And he said, "Go to the wudu place, make ablution and pray two raka`ats, and then say this prayer." It means a du`a will not be effective if you don´t make wudu and perform two raka`ats.

 

People pray but they don´t get benefit because they don´t make ablution. They don´t pray two raka`ats. They don´t take the benefit of the du`a. They are not cleaning themselves. So wash up, wash your hands, face, arms, feet, and hair and then pray two raka`ats and the following prayer: Allahumma innee asaluka atawajahu ilayk bi nabiyyika Muhammad (s), Nabiyyu 'r-rahma. "O Allah! I am asking You and directing myself to You through Your Prophet, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). I cannot come to You without him. I am coming to You through Your Prophet (s)." Then you say, "Yaa Muhammad!" O Muhammad. He is teaching him to say, "Yaa Muhammad! (stands and recites, yaa Muhammad, yaa Muhammad, yaa Muhammad!) He is calling upon the Prophet (s). He told him, "You have to come to Allah (swt) through me." And he said, "Yaa Muhammad! Innee atawajahu bika ila Rabbee. "I am seeking Allah (swt) through you, with your company. Without your company I cannot." You cannot enter a king's area without permission of the royal son or someone who is responsible. Allah (swt) gave Sayyidina Muhammad (s) the responsibility of bringing anyone he likes; he is the means.

 

When people have problems they should read that du`a and their problem will be solved. Yaa Muhammad! Innee atawajjahu bika ila Rabbee fee haajati haadhihi li-tuqda lee. Allahumma shaffi`hu fiyya. "O Muhammad! I am turning to My Lord, taking you as a means for my request to be granted. O Allah, grant me his intercession. O Allah (swt) give him authority to intercede for Your honor in Your Presence."

 

So that blind old man read that du`a. If you have a problem recite that prayer. If you don't have it, Taher can print it for you, it is on the computer already. You can read it seven times a day and inshaa-Allah that will solve your problem. So that blind man went and read it and immediately his sight came back. He ran to the Prophet (s) the next day during Fajr and was able to see Sayyidina Muhammad (s). That means when your shaykh opens the sight of your heart, you can see the Prophet (s). When the Prophet (s) opens the sight of your heart it is in the Divine Presence and you can see what people cannot see, you can hear what people cannot hear, and you can say what people cannot say of knowledge.

 

Why did Allah (swt) dress His Prophet (s) with all of this? Because He created His Prophet (s) humble. The reality of humbleness attracts the love of your Lord. If there is no humbleness, you will be full of darkness, and negative energy, when you are arrogant and proud of yourself. No one is proud of himself or herself except devils. They think they are everything. Also suicide bombers think they are doing something for the benefit of others, but they are are doing the worst because they are brainwashed and they are filled with anger. May Allah (swt) protect us from anger; it is the worst characteristic.

 

About Sayyidina Muhammad (s) al-Busayri said, Huwa al-Habeeb, "he is the lover." That means there is no one else. He is the one and only lover. Like Qul hu Allahu ahad. Say: He is the Unique One, Allah (swt). When you say, Habeebuh, it confirms that he is the lover and you need his intercession (s).

 

So we continue the story of this afternoon. Sayyidina `Ubaydullah al-Ahraar was going with his students on a journey. Saints like to take their followers on a journey so that they live, eat, sleep and learn together. Like Husayn who came from Chicago bringing 15-20 students. Where is he? He is hiding. How many did you bring? Sixteen, and with yourself is seventeen. So one plus seven equals eight, it is a good number. So on the journey they learn more. People learn more. They will face obstacles and difficulties together and thus they polish their ego. It is not like the ones on television, they have this show called "Amazing Race". You see they are so angry, so jealous, and they are teaching them arrogance instead of humbleness; fighting, and running. Awliyaa, saints take their followers and their only teaching is good knowledge, showing them the way and eating as I said in the afternoon. What do they eat? Dry bread. They dip it in water and eat it.

 

So `Ubaydullah al-Ahraar took 700 of his students, not 16. All of them were dressed in white because white is a sign of purity and they were walking by the Nile River against the stream. The river was streaming down and they were going up. And they were praying all day, eating, and listening to the suhbahs of their shaykh all day. For every prayer there was one lecture, and learning the journey of gnostics. When evening comes, by nine or ten o'clock they pray `Isha and go to sleep. No, television. What do they do today? They bring the television, and they also bring a big pot of chips and snacks to make them fatter and fatter, and they don't eat one box, they eat 10 boxes. They are wasting the time of people. There, at that time, there was nothing. I remember in our time when we were young, there was nothing so what did we used to do at night? We used to read books. Do you read books? No. Don't lie to me, don't worry about it. Anyone here who reads books at night? And the rest watch television. Yeah. So nowadays they have taken away people's ability of learning by giving an alternative which is worth nothing. They show them the news to make everyone worried and depressed. So after sunset by two or three hours, they have to sleep and wake up early in the morning.

 

So as he was taking them one night all of them slept as usual. But you know in Islam you cannot pray if you are not clean. So that night all of them needed to take a shower. All of them had a pleasurable dream, they had an accident. So all of them needed to take shower because they cannot pray without a shower. They woke up before their teacher, and they found this one, that one, they all needed a shower. Why did they need to shower? They didn't see anything but we know if an angel touches you, you will immediately feel that pleasure and an accident happens. All of them had been touched by an angel that night as they slept in a pure way. Their teacher purified them. They needed to take a shower. They went to the river to take a shower and the river was boiling like Yellowstone. Can you take a shower in Yellowstone? No, it's burning. They couldn't take a shower, so they don't know what to do.

 

The shaykh woke up and asked, "What happened?" They said, "Yaa Sayyidee, the water is boiling." He said, "Make tayyamum with sand." They made tayyamum and prayed, and the sun rose. Then the shaykh said, "Let us go see why the Nile River is boiling." You need a whole system to make the water boil because that water is moving hundreds of million of gallons of water in one second. How could it be boiling? It cannot be boiled by a stove or ordinary means. Maybe there was a volcano. You are not writing. (To someone in the audience) Why did he open his book? Never mind, it is okay. So let us see the secret. Why is it boiling? They began to move up further and they found an old man sitting on a rock and his feet were in the river. They approached and approached, as they approached, the river was boiling more and more at a very high temperature. Not 100 degrees centigrade, but more. They arrived and found Muhammad al-Busairi, the author of this poem sitting there. He was reciting, mawlaya salli wassalim da-iman abadan, but he was not able to get the continuation of that verse so he kept repeating it while putting his feet in the Nile and his heart connected to his lover, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). He was stuck on that verse, mawlaya salli wassalim da-iman abadan. (Mawlana stands.)

 

Then at that point the ruhaniyyah of the Prophet (s) appeared to him spiritually and continued the verse for him. "Say! Ala habeebike khayril-khalqi kullihimi." So from that very strong love, his body became so hot that the water of Nile was boiling. And for that wisdom Sayyidina Ubaydullah said, "We came to see Muhammad al-Busairi and to witness him seeing the Prophet's (s) ruhaniyyah, spiritual presence that appeared in his vision to continue the verse."

 

So with all of that love from Allah (swt) to His Prophet, Allah (swt) said:

 أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَى

alam yajidka yateeman fa-aawa.

Did We not find you, yaa Muhammad, as an orphan, and He gave you shelter? (93:6)

 

He was an orphan from his mother and father. First his father died when the Prophet was four months in the womb of his mother Sayyida Aminah, and then his mother died when he was 7 years old and then he was left in the care of his grandfather Abdul Mutallib and his uncle. So that is why Allah (swt) said:

 فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

fa amma 'l-yateema falaa taqhar.

Therefore do not oppress the orphan." (93:9)

 

Don't be tough on orphans. Help orphans. Be good to orphans and look after them. Because if you look after orphans, we are all orphans, our real father is Sayyidina Muhammad (s). (stands) He is the Messenger of Allah and because of that he is responsible for the ummah. The symbol of the father is the symbol of responsibility to the family. We are all in need of his (s) shafa`. Still he was orphaned and orphans need help. There are so many without a father and mother. How many did we see in Indonesia on our last trip? Everywhere we went, to schools, they have 400-500 orphans with no father and no mother. You have a father and a mother, you have to be happy. We met many of them on different occasions and their clothes were patched, their shoes were plastic, and their food was rice, they have nothing. So what do they need? They need help. Alam yajidka yateeman fa-aawa. "He found you as an orphan and sheltered you and He gave you what you need." It means that Allah (swt) will give if you help. It means to help each other, and help the orphans around the world. That is why I am bringing this auction tonight, to raise funds for orphans.

 

Dhikr now. Wa min Allah at-tawfeeq bi hurmati 'l-Fatihah.

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,

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)

We are in a gathering that is only for Allah and His Prophet (s). We are not coming here for dunya, we are coming to remind ourselves of something very important. Why do people come to such gatherings? Allah wants to remind them that, “O My servant, you are not living forever. You are going leave, as others left before you.” That is why when you go to a cemetery and you pass by the graves, Prophet (s) used to say, “You are the ones that passed before us and inshaa-Allah we are going to follow you.” He never passed graves without remembering that one day the ummah is going to leave this dunya. And Allah (swt) wants us here and brought us here tonight. Don’t think you came because you have a car; don’t think you came because you had a ride. Who inspired you in your heart to come?

إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَن يَشَاء وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ

Innaka laa tahdee man ahbabta wa laakinn-allaha yahdee man yashau wa Huwa a’lamu bil-muhtadeen.

Verily you will not be able to guide every one whom you love, but Allah guides those whom He will and He knows best those who receives guidance. (28:56)

Allah (swt) is guiding us to come here. Allah (swt) said:

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا

fa-alhamahaa fujoorahaa wa taqwaahaa,

And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right. (91:8)

He inspired the good self and the bad self. So Allah (swt) is bringing us together under the one whom He chose, under the name of that one. When you send an invitation to someone you say, for example, “Sayyid Muhammad ‘Ilyas has the honor to invite you to dinner.” This gathering is an invitation from Sayyidina Muhammad (s). He is inviting you by Allah’s order to come and remember the Lord. (Mawlana stands.) As-salaatu wa 's-salaam `alayka yaa Sayyidee, yaa Rasoolullah. As-salaatu was-salaam `alayka yaa Sayyidee, yaa Habeebullah. As-salaatu wa 's-salaam `alayka yaa Shafi`ee al-Mudhnibeen! (Mawlana sits.)

So that gathering is not because the owner of the house has invited us, but the owner of every house, the owner to whom Allah (swt) gave ownership has invited us. Why aren’t others coming? Only those whose names have been written are attending. That is why it is a good tiding that we are here by permission of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) and by permission of Sayyidee Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani (q), or else even if millions of invitations came you would not be here.

Allah said, la ilaaha illa-Llah Muhammadun Rasoolullah. Without saying Muhammadun Rasoolullah, Kalimah Tawheed is not complete, and without saying laa ilaaha illa-Llah it is not going to be complete. Yes, you are expressing, saying, “Yaa Rabbee, there is no Creator except You,” but without “Muhammad Rasoolullah (s)” it is like a tree without roots. So Allah made that entity that is carrying that essence. It is like a walnut shell; it has a walnut inside but without a shell the walnut will go bad. That shell is carrying the fruit inside, and Sayyidina Muhammad (s) is the reality Allah (swt) put within that entity, and Allah (swt) put within that entity the whole Creation. Without that reality there is no Creation! That is why he said, “What Allah created first is my light, my reality, my essence.” If you bring some perfumes and make them very concentrated, you say it is the essence, and from one small, concentrated bottle you can make thousands of small bottles with different fragrances. That entity, Muhammad Rasoolullah (s), is full of realities that have been scented with the fragrance of Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana stands, praising.) Yaa Sayyidee, yaa Rasoolullah. Ya Rahmatan li ‘l-`alameen, yaa Shafi`ee al-Mudhnibeen. Even if we stand 1000 times we are not giving the real rights to Sayyidina Muhammad, afdal as-salaatu wa 's-salaam! (Mawlana sits.)  

The reality we are in gives us a fragrance, and that is why every believer has a fragrance, a flavor. If you go to a perfumery store every bottle has its own name, millions of bottles everywhere have brand names with designer signatures that fill all the stores, but all are coming from the reality of perfumes. And from every rose or every flower, even from the whale you get amber, the most expensive fragrance of perfume; from deer you get musk, from trees, from everything you get the reality of that pleasant smell. They have different names, they have different flavors or fragrances, but in reality all are coming from what Allah (swt) has created.

In Holy Qur’an, Allah says"

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ

wa ma arsalnaka rahmatali ‘l-`alameen

And We did not send you (Muhammad) except as a Mercy to the worlds. (21:107)

What is mercy? Someone who is depressed and senses a nice smell and that depression leaves, that is a mercy. Someone is thirsty and drinks water, it is mercy. This means that everything Allah has given you has entered into the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad (s), the mercy that Allah dressed Sayyidina Muhammad (s) with. So mercy is not only shafa`ah, as many people think.  Do you think that sins are going to be a problem for Prophet (s), when Allah raised him higher and gave him the ummah? Is it going to be difficult for Prophet (s) to take the sins away? The sins are easy for Prophet (s); he is the one that sucks the sins as if they did not exist. He (Allah [swt]) says, “We have sent you as Mercy.” It means anything that has mercy is coming from the reality of Prophet (s) that Allah dressed him with.

For example, scientists say when an asteroid is coming to Earth, it is destined to destroy the Earth. Although scientists are worried, it does not hit the Earth. That is a mercy also. It means that any planet in this universe, Seen and Unseen, whatever happens on it, whatever Creation is on it, is a mercy that Allah has put in the secret of Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! In his reality are all these secrets that today awliyaaullah are so astonished to hear about, the reality of Prophet (s).

I heard today from Mawlana (may Allah give him long life) who said Grandshaykh (may Allah bless his soul) said, “No way, not in dunya and not even in akhirah, no one will know the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad (s)!” They will be unable to know everything. They might know something but not the whole reality, and based on their levels, awliyaaullah know something about that reality. For example, not all Sahaaba (r) knew all the ahadith; each one got different knowledge. Prophet gave every one something different.

Awliyaaullah are taking from the heart of Prophet (s) and everyone is different from the other. If Prophet (s) gives everyone the same it means you are limiting the greatness of Prophet (s) that Allah gave to him.. The greatness is that he is giving every wali something different from the other. That is why Sayyidina Abu Hurayra (r) said, “I have retained from Prophet (s) two vessels of knowledge. I have disseminated one vessel of knowledge among people. But if I were to give the other vessel of knowledge, they would cut my throat.” Why would they cut his neck? It means that what Prophet (s) gave him, he didn’t give to others. What Prophet (s) gave to Sayyidina ‘Ali (r) he did not give to others and what he gave to Abu Bakr (r) he did not give to others.

Look at how merciful Prophet (s) was to the smallest detail. When Sayyidina Hassan (r) and Sayyidina Hussayn (r) were young, they climbed on him during sajdah and he did not move as long as they were on his back. Even if they stayed on him for one hour he would stay in sajdah for one hour, out of mercy. He said in a hadith, Laa yarhamu ‘Llahu man laa yarhamu ‘n-nas, “God will show no mercy to those who show no mercy to humankind.”

O Muslims! O Believers! We have to show mercy to each other or else Allah will not show us mercy. Today, unfortunately, brothers don’t show mercy to their brother, or sister to sister, or father to mother, or mother to father, or wife to husband and husband to wife, or children to parents. There is no more, “Yes, my mother,” or “Yes, my father.” No one says that. If the mother says something, you answer rudely; if the father says something, you answer as if he is from the Stone Age coming to teach you. Correct or not? That is a problem. No one is listening, there is no more mercy in the hearts because Shaytan is running in the heart and too much dunya is in the hearts. In previous times they threw dunya out of their hearts. If you throw dunya from your heart, dunya will run to you! Now we are slaves to dunya. Dunya makes you run and run, until you are exhausted and you die.

One time Prophet (s) took the Sahaaba (r) to the Mt. Uhud in the early morning when the sun was coming up and told them, “Stand towards the sun with your back to me, facing the mountain. What are you seeing?” They saw their shadows. He said, “Run to catch your shadow and I will give you a reward.” They kept running but they could not reach their shadows, and they reached the mountain. Then Prophet (s) said, “Look at me and turn your back towards the mountain,” and their shadow was behind them, and he said, “Run towards me!” They ran towards him and their shadows ran behind them. When they arrived to Prophet (s) he said, “If you run away from me you will never catch dunya (like your shadow), but if you run towards me, dunya will run behind you to give you whatever.”

Today, unfortunately, dunya is in our hearts. We are unable to throw it away. That doesn’t mean that you leave your daily work, no, you must work. But don’t use the rizq (provision) Allah gave you in the way of Shaytan; use it in the Way of Allah (swt)! If you use it in the way of Shaytan, you are disobeying what Allah asked you to do. Allah (swt) said, “Obey me and obey My Prophet (s).” We remind ourselves always to obey Allah and to obey Prophet (s) and to obey those who are guiding us, because they are more wise than us!

And we are asking awliyaaullah ; they are looking for collectible items and they will find antiques and they collect them, but they don’t like to collect something that there is too much of it. They look for something that is worth a lot, that is expensive, that people are not using anymore and that only those in the past were taking care of it and using it a lot. So they collect it in order to one day present them, and give them as a present to the wali that is higher than them, until they reach to the Sultan al-Awliya, who delivers it to Prophet (s). There is a hierarchy; don’t believe when they say there is no hierarchy in Islam. Look at prophets; who is higher than Sayyidina Muhammad (s)? They are inheritors and also they are in a hierarchy. Sayyidina Abdul Qadir Jilani (q) said, “My foot is on the neck of every wali.” Today they say about someone in Qatar that he is the biggest scholar and everyone watches him on TV. This is a hierarchy.

So awliyaaullah keep these antique ones and in the end they have to deliver them to the owner. Who are they? You and you (points to the gathering). People today don’t like us. They say, “These people are coming from the Stone Age. Look at the way they dress with their turbans, their beards, their dress.” We are antiques, collector’s items! (laughter) Look at his turban! Look at everyone here, look at this one sitting here since the beginning. So they bring them from different backgrounds, put them together and after they clean them with such associations, they present them clean to Prophet (s). That is the importance of such meetings! Prophet (s) said, “If a group of people sit together remembering Allah, the angels will circle them, mercy will shroud them, peace will descend o­nto them, and Allah will remember them among those with Him.” (Muslim)

Then we must try to be better. You have to make sure when you come to such associations to clean your hearts and minds; throw away everything in your heart and mind. It means your focus, and your meditation and contemplation is only on the remembrance of Allah (swt) and His Prophet (s), and awliyaullah, nothing else. Don’t think about what is outside. If you think of what is outside, it is like praying on a carpet that has dirt on it: you have to clean it to pray on it. How can you come to Allah’s Presence with dirtiness in the heart? Husband is thinking about wife and wife about husband, children are thinking about parents, parents are thinking about children, and everyone has something that Shaytan brings to break his or her focus. That is why Allah (swt) said, 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)

May Allah (swt) forgive us, and bless us, and bless this meeting, and bless everyone’s family, and make all of you here, by the barakah of Sayyidina Muhammad (s), the best of the ummah, and to always be with Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana stands and makes salawaat and du’a.)

Who Truly Is Salaf as-Saalih?

Sultan al-Awliya

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani

22 March 2010    Lefke, Cyprus

 

(Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Dastoor yaa Rabbee, dastoor yaa Sayyidee. Madad yaa Rijaal Allah. Laa ilaaha illa-Llah, laa ilaaha illa-Llah, laa ilaaha illa-Llah, Sayyidina Muhammadan wa nabiyyina, zidhu yaa Rabbee,`izzan wa sharafan, nooran wa surooran ridwaana wa sultana. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

 

As-salaamu `alaykum, our listeners! We are looking, humble people, for who is attending to hear some heavenly news, or heavenly declarations, what Allah Almighty is sending to His prophets (a),humble ones, humble ones. Absolute Greatness is for our Creator, for Allah Almighty. (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Yaa Rabb, O Lord, You are akbar! Yaa Rabbana, O my Lord, You are akbaru 'l-akbar! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) We are the weakest servants asking for Your forgiveness. O our Lord, grant us much more understanding, O the Lord of Creation! There only One Lord. No one can be the Lord; all are His servants, His creatures. How are they asking for lordship? Lordship only is for One, who is creating and granting endlessly from His endless Grant Oceans. From those oceans, if the Lord of Creation is asking from an atom to give for everything in existence what they need, His order is only, "Do this!" and that smallest one in Creation may do.

 

Allahu 'l-Qaadiru 'l-Muqtadir, "Allah, the Most Powerful, the Most Competent." Allahu akbar! Allah, Allah! O our Lord, grant us an understanding. If He Almighty is ordering to be granted for everything, everything is just coming in existence. O our Lord! Forgive us and give us much more from Your Divinity, divinely glory for Your most accepted, most precious one, Sayyidina Muhammad (s), that an atom from Divinely Oceans, covering whole Creation. (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) SubhaanAllah wa SultaanAllah!

 

O People! Don't be heedless! The Lord of Creation, He never likes heedless ones who are losing their ways, or they are losing hikmatu 'l-hijaat, real wisdom for Creation. No one can know it from beginning up to end. Now, O People! I am a weak servant and I think you are also weak ones. Whoever is claiming, "I am a powerful one," that is not true. Yes? SubhaanAllah! Absolute Glory is for our Lord, Allah Almighty.

 

We are saying, as-salaamu `alaykum, attenders. Give your, dikkat, attention. You must give your attention for understanding something from Divinity. Divinity is for the Lord of Creation, for the Lord of Creatures. No one can be there; that belongs to the Lord of Creation!. From the beginning up to the end, there is one Lord! And we are saying to you, O attenders, heavenly protection may be on you. Anyone that is escaping, not attending, and making some udhur, excuse, that one is losing, cannot be much more valuable for a person than he is sitting and looking at what heavenly breathing is coming on Earth from the heavens. (For that) he will find a refreshment in himself, making a person in Happiness Oceans, in Enjoyment Oceans, to be in Pleasure Oceans. To be! To be! To be, that our words can't reach what is coming from heavenly beings on us! Mankind is to blame for losing that chance they were granted, for an understanding from heavenly beings that no one knows where they begin and where they are ending! Yes. As-salaamu `alaykum to those who are coming and sitting and hearing and trying to understand and trying to give much more respect, the most high respect even for one word that belongs to the Lord of Heavens. Tooba lahum, endless good tidings!

 

O People! We may say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem. Only Shaytan is making people not to attend, not to listen, not to understand! inna 'sh-shaytaan lakum `aduwun mubeen.

O our Salafi `ulamas! Marhaban, marhaban, marhaban. Why are you not giving a daily declaration when you have so many muhattah, stations for addressing people? You are saying, "We are Salafi `ulamas." Yes, okay, that you may be, but what are you bringing to us from Salafi `ulamas? Which message are you bringing? Were Salafi `ulamas saying, asta`eedh billah inna 'sh-shaytaan lakum `aduwun, or not? Why are you not giving a daily warning to all nations and the Muslim world? Why are you not saying to them, "O People! O Muslim world! The Lord of Heavens is saying:

وَاعْتَصِمُواْ بِحَبْلِ اللّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلاَ تَفَرَّقُواْ

wa`tasimoo bi hablil-Lahi jami`a,

And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together. (3:103)

Yes?

Where are your representatives here in Cyprus, Turkey, Persia, or in the east or west, to declare, "O People!

إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ

inna 'sh-shaytaan lakum `aduwun.

No doubt, Shaytan is the most terrible and the most dangerous enemy for Mankind. (35:6)

For 24 hours you must put a station in the east and the west, to address all nations. Not only addressing to me, “That person is going to be matoo, idiot.” I am an idiot? That person is an idiot who is not declaring; I am not an idiot, matoo. If a person is older, he will begin to lose his mind, coming from up to down, but that is only for those who are following Shaytan!

(Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Whoever is following the Lord of Heavens, Allah Almighty, stand up! Even maaliks, kings, even emperors must stand up when I am saying the Sacred Name, "Allah"!!! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) If we never sit in our whole lives and we stand for our Creator, for our Lord's Holiest Name, it is nothing! Don’t say, "Why is that person standing up?" That is nothing! To Whom am I going to stand up? To Whom? A khalifah from Sham, Damascus, was sending; that is perhaps what you are reading in books, but ath-thuboot fi 't-takarrur, “If you are repeating something, it makes it firm.” For everything that we are speaking, our heavenly connection is filling my heart and making me speak; otherwise I don't know, but some signs are coming.

 

I am asking Salafi `ulamas, is something coming to you from the heavens? Look up, look up, are you seeing? Why are you not seeing? So many unexpected news with unexpected angels like rain, raining on people! But they are closing their understanding, they are never giving even one moment to think, "Who am I? And for what am I or for Whom am I? Who is bringing me into existence, and Who is taking me from existence to non-existence?"

O Salafi `ulamas, what are you saying? Say! You have so many stations, you have so many satellites! Why are you not sending these waves to whole people (broadcasting)?

 

O People! Ask yourselves, "Who am I?" or "Who is bringing me to this planet? Who is making me?" Why are we not trying to wake up whole nations? This is something, a question, that the Lord of Creation is just granting to all prophets (a) and finally to the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Everytime we are standing up, we are taking much more power. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) Allah, Allah .What are you saying about that question, the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)? (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) What is he saying? Ask him, ask him. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

O Salafi `ulamas! Ask whom? Don't ask me, ask your Prophet (s), who is my Prophet (s) and all nations' Prophet (s). Ask him, because he is hearing, seeing and speaking. Salafi `ulamas, if your understanding is from the Holy Qur’an and Allah Almighty is saying for shuhadah, martyrs:

وَلاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاء عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ

wa laa tahsaban alladheena qutiloo fee sabeelillahi amwaatan bal ahyaaun inda rabbihim, `

And never think of those who have been killed in the Way of Allah as dead; rather, they are alive with their Lord. (3:169)

If Allah Almighty is saying that for shuhadah then they are really alive, they are in real life. This life is an imitated life; real life there has no beginning and no ending. Holy Qur'an is saying that those who are martyred in battles, to raise the flag of tawheed.

 

Another question is coming to our Salafi `ulamas brothers. They are not accepting me as a brother, but I am saying you are my brothers. Only you are taking money from the government, but I am not taking. Allah Almighty is sending to me sadaqah, I am eating from sadaqah and you are eating from the government's money. It does not matter, you are happy! My clothes, I am not changing (buying new) every day, but every year once or twice. But you are every day (wearing new clothes), dressing very good, abrah. You are putting everyday this hata? (Mawlana Shaykh gestures, as for a head covering.) What is this? Allahu Akbar. Every day I am looking to find my eyeglasses, but I can't find, there is only this. (Mawlana Shaykh holds a magnifying glass.) I am looking at Salafi `ulamas from a far distance.

Do you believe that a person can look from west to east or from east to west? Are you believing or not, what are you saying? Do you believe that the Salaf as-Saalih could look from east to west, from west to east? If you are saying no, then it is not true for you. Salaf as-Saalih's hearts are pure...there is something here you can't see. You must clean it, polish it. (magnifying glass). Yes, do you think, O Salafi `ulamas, tiraami, with my respect to you, that you can look from east and see up to west, or from west up to east? What do you say? Is it baatil (falsehood) or haqq (truth)? You can't say baatil because Salaf as-Saalih, Sayyidina `Umar (r) was on minbar and calling, Yaa saariatu 'l-jaban, yaa saariatu 'l-jaban, al jaban! "O cowards!" He was seeing and the sound was reaching was him.

Do you have such a power? Why not? You must have that power if you are claiming, "We are followers of Salaf as-Saalih." Qul hattoo burhaanakum, "Bring your proofs!" I am not claiming that I am something; I am saying I am nothing, but you are saying you are something. If you are something, say it! Ohhh, if there is a chance to speak on it, I don't know but they know, and my soul is connected with their souls. Therefore, (the knowledge that) is coming from them (for me) to say is endless. Don’t think I know something, no! But there is a way which is making my heart to wake up and is ordering my tongue to address you, because but you are making yourself in front of the Muslim world and in front of the non-Muslim world (as experts).

O Salafi `ulamas! Qul hattoo burhaanakum, "Bring your proofs," otherwise you must try to correct your understandings to learn, as you are saying, "We are followers of Salaf as-Saalih.” Now, who is Salaf as-Saalih? Are you going to their tombs? No! You are not accepting to go to their tombs and speak to them. How are you getting a connection with them? Do you have such a power in your hearts? man min al-qalbi min qalbi sabeela, "From heart-to-heart there are some invisible ways, that is a valuable way." Why are you not reaching from Salaf as-Saalih in your hearts, Salafi `ulamas? Hearts have written on them, “Made by the Lord of Heavens.”

 

O People! They are always making me to speak, to address Salafi `ulamas, because they are claiming, so I have a right to ask from them to make their claims clear. That is why I am saying, "O People! Leave this." Khalifatu 'l-Muslimeen, kal mum abi mu'min dimishq wa-sham. SubhaanAllah! Who is always making this making never-ending troubles from the time of Babylonia, ashooriyin kaldaniyin, always troubles. Laa hawla wa laa quwatta illa billahi 'l-`Aliyyu 'l-`Adheem. And Ameeru 'l-Mu'mineen, leader of the Believers, sent them their orders to, Hajaaj azh-zhaalim, Hajjaaj ibn Yusuf, the Tyrant. He went there alone, saying, “Ameeru 'l-Mu'mineen nasab is appointing me waali (governor) on Iraq. I am here and I like to address the people of Basra.”  And he is standing on the minbar of Rasoolullah (s) and using a veil (Mawlana Shaykh covers his face), sitting and saying, Yaa ghulaam, qum wa 'tlu kalaam Ameeru 'l-Mu'mineen, "O servant! Listen to the words of the Chief of the Believers. Get up and read that Ameeiru 'l-Mu'mineen sent me here to be governor." And that ghulaam, the khaateeb, stood up and said, salaamun `ala ahlil-basra min Ameeru 'l-Mu'mineen. yusallim `alaykum. salaamee li ahlu 'l-Iraq. Wa laa waahid yurrad `alayhi 's-salaam." Peace be on the people of Basra from the leader of the Believers, peace be upon the people of Iraq." And Hajaaj was on the minbar, saying qif yaa ghulaam, "Stop your reading to people, Amiru 'l-Mu'mineen's order.

 

O People of Iraq!! You have such bad adab, worst manners with you!! Amiru 'l-Mu'mineen is saying as-salaamu `alaykum to you, and no one is standing to answer, wa `alaykum salaam. I am coming to teach you the best manners. Amiru 'l-Mu'mineen put in front of himself the best of his arrows and he is looking, “Which one is better? Looking, finding and sending to you. I am training you with the best adab. Repeat it!!” Yaa Ghulaam". Then the second time. Then he was saying, the solution is not to lie. Everyone is not sitting there, everyone is standing up like this. (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) I am asking Salaf as-Saalih `ulamas. Do you think that was a bad adab when the governor and people were standing up? Do you think it was wrong, munkir? You are saying no one is giving ta`zheem for another one.

Allah (swt) is saying, asta`eedhu billah:

وَلاَ تَنسَوُاْ الْفَضْلَ بَيْنَكُمْ

wa laa tansaw al-fadl baynakum!

Do not forget the favor, priority and respect between yourselves. (2:237)

(Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

 

Al-fadl, the preferred! That is granted from Allah Almighty and some others must respect that one who was granted from their Lord in a good manner. As Jalaalatu 'l-Maalik, yadhhar al-ijaaza, "The Majesty of the Owner is to show reservation." When entering, are you sitting down or standing up? He was standing up because Allah Almighty just dressed him with that honor. You are not honoring "al-Maalik, (The King, Allah)," but you (claim you) are honoring maaliku 'l-mulk, "king of kings!"

Yes sir, understand. I am nothing, I am the last one, the deepest one. Don't listen and don't say, "this person is speaking.” Who is making this weak and old person to address all people from east to west, from north to south? May Allah forgive us!

 

O People! Always I am addressing, because they are making me to address to those who are always claiming, to be so proud ones, la yu`jibahumu 'l-`ajab. `Arabiyya, sometimes I know Arabic, and it doesn't matter. Man tashabaha bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum, “Who imitates a people is one of them.” I know Arabic, don't worry.

May Allah (swt) forgive me and forgive you, and you, taqdeer al-maalik, must appreciate the station of maalik, that the Lord of Heavens is giving that honor to him (...) and make it free for all Muslims. I don’t like also that they put that ta`sheer, visa (to enter the kingdom). No!!

May Allah forgive us. Wa min Allahi 't-tawfeeq.

 

Fatihah.

 

Dome dome dome dome, Dome dome dome dome

Dome dome dome dome, Dome dome dome dome

Dome dome dome dome, Dome dome dome dome

Dome dome dome dome, Dome dome dome dome

 

There is also Salaf as-Saalih who were saying there are heavenly trumpets, heavenly singing for glorifying the Lord of Heavens. Therefore:

من تشبه بقوم فهو منهم

man tashabaha bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum.

Who imitates a people is one of them.

I am with my ugly sound, singing:

Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh, Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh, Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh

Huuuu Huuu Huuu, Huuuu Huuu Huuu, Huuuu Huuu Huuu

 

That is divinely ceremony, not only in the morning and evening but in every second, with another coming with tasbeeh, tahmeed, tamjeed, haqq jalla jalaalahu.

 

Fatihah.

 

(50 minutes.)

 

(Mawlana Shaykh speaks to Shaykh Hisham and Hajjah Naziha on the phone.)

Mawlana Shaykh: “How are you, Your Holiness, Shaykh Hisham Effendi? ...”

Shaykh Hisham: “You are shaking them Mawlana!”

Mawlana Shaykh: “Your barakah, O Shaykh Hisham. Verily truth has come and falsehood has vanished.”

Shaykh Hisham: “Sunni `ulama in Saudi are very happy with you, saying, 'Long life for Shaykh Nazim.' Salafi `ulama are very angry saying, 'Shaykh Nazim is posing a question that we cannot answer.'"

Mawlana Shaykh: "This is not a toy. I'm going to destroy the sultanate of Shaytan. If the questions come from Above, they'll have no answers (Salafi `ulamas)."
