Lose Your Identity To Be With The One

Sultan al-Awliyaa

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani

26 May 2010 Lefke, Cyprus


Madad yaa RasoolAllah. (Mawlana Shaykh stands.)
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, `Azeez Allah
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Kareem Allah
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Subhaan Allah
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Sultaan Allah
Ya Rabb Zid Habeebika Sayyidina Muhammad, Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa’l-Akhireen,`izzan wa sharafan, nooran wa surooran, ridwaana wa sultaanan. taqabal ma'adhiratanaa yaa Rabbana. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)
 
Thumma as-salaamu `alaykum yaa `ibaadAllahi 's-saaliheen, that you have been granted holiness from the Lord of Heavens. We are in need of your support. And as-salaamu `alaykum yaa al-Qutbu 'z-Zamaan, Yaa RijaalAllah, whom they are giving everything for the sake of the Lord of Heavens. With their good will, they are saying, `an `abdun wa maa yamlikuhu li sayyidihi. A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem, bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Yaa Rabba 'l-`ibaad irham da`fanaa, irham da`fanaa (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) We are Your weak servants, O our Lord, the weakest ones. If the whole of Creation is going to be in one atom. Can be. What is your opinion? Common people are asking those that claim, "We know Allah." That is a question for all holy ones or for those who claim that they are learned people, or that they know everything. Madad yaa Saahibu 'l-Imdaad, to make clear something that our Creator likes to be known. 


Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. We are saying, O Salafi `ulamas! O Doctors of Shari`ah! O so many with such `ajaaib, bright titles about something that belongs to Islam. Islam is universal. When you say, "Islam," it is a universal reality. Islam reaches everything, it reaches every atom in existence. It may be of material aspects, the smallest part of the material world, they call, atoms. They say that atoms are such incredible things fawq al-`adaa, khaaliqu 'l-`adaah, SubhaanAllah! Incredible! Every atom represents its Creator! When an atom represents the knowledge that belongs to it, Man's understanding can't reach it. Each atom must give a complete representation according to its understanding level, about their Creator. For everything, this must be.

 
O `ulamas! O learned people, and book-given people ("People of the Book," Christians and Jews), you also must listen and you must try to understand. No arguing! What we are saying is not for argument, it is only to say, "Yes, this is true." There is no argument about divinity! This huge appearance of the world, if you may divide it into smaller and smaller and smaller, juzun laa yatajazzaa, until you reach a point where it is impossible to divide it, then what is remaining? If there is something, then it can be divided. This means that all Creation comes to the point of zero, finished, when this huge space, this universe, can't be further divided. That means all Creation comes to zero! Laa mawjooda ill-Allah. Are you understanding, Salafi `ulamas? They are making me speak on this because you claim that you know something. There is a brilliant ifaadah, a saying or expression in Arabic verse. You must understand what has been said, isma`! Listen, O `ulamas, listen! Fa-fee kulli shayin lahu ayaah, in everything there is a Sign of God. This is an ocean. Kulli shay, even the last point where it is impossible to be divided. Fa-fee kulli shayyin lahu ayaah, tadullu annahu Waahidun, "In everything there is a Sign of God that signifies He is One." (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Subhaanah wa t`aala. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)


That is an ocean! Everything is witnessing that it has been ordered to do what is its mission. Everyone must do his mission. What is their mission? To say, "Only He is in existence, (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Only Allah Almighty and nothing else!” (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) That is the meaning of laa mawjooda illa-Llah. Everything witnesses and disappears. Laa mawjoodah illa-Llah. There can't be in existence ghayr-Allah, where it is impossible to be divided. Everything in existence reaches the last point and giving the declaration that only He is in existence and nothing else and then finishes. 


Where are they going and who is making that declaration? Whoever makes that declaration, just enters Wahdaaniyat, Unity Oceans and disappears, as a drop that comes from the clouds when reaching the ocean, its identity just disappears; identity is only for the ocean. You must try to know something they are saying, O `ulamas, Azhari `ulamas, and Christian learned people, and Jewish holy people, what are you saying? There is no comment on it. Finished. Finished. And we are coming from Unity Oceans, appearing and giving our declaration, "Annahu huwa waahidun," and running into oceans of Divinity. Divinity Oceans. Therefore, this knowledge gives honor to servants. They are not in need to come for a second time, to be tried or to be asked for the declaration, "Annahu huwa waahidun!" Enough, finished. This is a simple explanation. 


Therefore, the Seal of Prophets (s), Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa’l-Akhireen, Sayyidina Muhammad, (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) when he was asked about afdalu 'l-`aamaal. Do you understand Arabic or not? Leave being Wahabi or Salafi! No, come and try to be muwahhid. Muwahhid is one who says laa ilaaha illa-Llah Huu. Come to that point, and accept this. When the Seal of Prophets (s) had been asked what is from the best work or best action of a person? What is afdalu 'l-`aamaal? What is that `aamaal, the best effort, the highest point of effort? The Seal of Prophets said, "Al-`ilmu bil-Llah," the knowledge of Allah. 


People were surprised. Why were they surprised? Because they were asking for something that a servant may do, something that belongs to our physical being's efforts. But his answer was that it never belongs to the effort of our physical being, but it is beyond that, beyond! The answer of the Seal of Prophets (s) was very high, because what we are doing physically of `ibaadat, worshiping, is so majaal. As when a horse runs in it's track, an area that is it's majaal. Everything that belongs to our physical being and its efforts has a majaal, an area that we are in. But this station that the Seal of Prophets (s) was expressing is beyond our efforts. The 'drop' comes and it has a majaal, it has a being through its creation and when moving from its appointed point and then leaving it's majaal, it reaches an ocean, and its identity simply disappears. There only remains the Identity of the Lord of Creation. You understand American (to Dr. Munir, sitting next to him)?


That hadith an-nabawi ash-shareef is such an ocean, such an ocean. Afdalu 'l-`aamaal, what can you do that is the most valuable action in your whole life? Say, Salafi `ulamas, Azhari `ulamas, say whole learned people! Is it to ride a horse your whole life? Or is it to use that horse to reach the Divine Presence? It is not important whether you are on a horse or a donkey, or walking or running, but why are you doing that? For what are you praying, for what are you fasting, for what are you doing so much maajaabihin Nabi? Is that what Prophet (s) brought and taught people? Is that our real target? No. 


On the Night Journey of Seal of Prophets (s), he rode from Meccat al-Mukarramah to Quds ash-Shareef. What do you think was the real target? To ride the Buraq? And then Jibreel (a) brought him to the stairs, one after one, one after one, until they reached the real target, the Divine Presence and Jibreel (a) said, "I cannot move even one hair from here, to there, I will be finished. But you O Muhammad! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) You can pass! You are matloob, the only one invited to that Divine Presence, no one else. That ocean is only for you, no one else." 


Therefore, what we are doing, is not a target for ourselves, the real target is to reach through that Infinity Ocean up to the Divine Presence. There you are going to say la ilaaha illa-Llah, laa ilaaha illa-Llah, laa mawjooda illa-Llah, laa mawjooda illa Ant! "There is none in existence except You." You must learn, it is not a simple thing that we have been granted. We have been granted such a big grant, that only He Who granted it knows. Therefore, وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ wa laqad karamnaa Bani `Adam. "Surely We have honored the Children of Adam." (17:70) What is the real takreem, real honor that has been granted Man? (Of that) we know nothing.

O Allah, forgive us. We are running after earthly pleasures and we are running to reach some material aspects. Forgive us and make an opening that we may understand something. When we understand something, we will be in Divine Oceans of Unity. Welcome listeners. We are amusing ourselves as animals are amused, and we are so proud! We are saying, "We are Mankind!" (How are we Mankind?) For what? Because we are amusing ourselves with material aspects? In the animal world, they are amused by that. And it is a blame for all Mankind if they are not understanding. May Allah forgive us.
 
Fatihah.

(Shaykh Hisham:  Anta Qutb al-Aqtaab, Ghawth az-Zamaan, al-Waarith al-Muhammadi!)


(Mawlana Shaykh laughs.)


Shaykh Hisham has an appointment with the White House.


(Shaykh Hisham: Azhar ash-Shareef has come against the Wahabis. Make du`a for me, Mawlana.)
