الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىَ جُنُوبِهِمْ وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هَذا بَاطِلاً سُبْحَانَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Alladheena yadhkuroonullah qiyaaman wa qu`oodaan wa`ala junoobihim wa yattafakkaroona fee khalqi 's-samawaati wa 'l-ard,rabbanaa maa khalaqta haadhaa baatilan subhanaka fa qinaa `adhaba 'n-naar.
Those who remember Allah (always, and in prayers) standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the Earth, (saying): "
Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without purpose, glory to You! (Exalted be You above all that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from the torment
of the Fire. (`Ali Imraan, 3:191)
O Attenders from among Mankind, as well as from jinn taa`ifa, jinns also! Beware of forgetting the wisdom of your existence. Nothing is coming into existence without a wisdom or with baatil, falsehood. And originally nothing is coming into existence by itself, his or herself; it can't be. We are creatures and for every creature there must be a Creator, even the smallest stone for the building of our universe. This universe is a huge existence that no one knows its beginning or ending and no one knows its limits. That is a sign of Allah's Greatness, al-`azhaamatu li-Llah. No one knows the beginning or end of this universe. What is the universe? It is only a sign of the Creator, that He Almighty, if He asks to bring something in existence, says, Kun! fayakoon. "'Be!' and it will be," as He likes, the universe is coming in existence.
For example, about the placement of atoms in hydrogen, I am asking scientists why each hydrogen atom is in its special position? Why are they not coming to be one? And every element, reaching a hundred and more according to Mendeleev's Periodic Table, dhaalika mablaghahum min al-`ilm, is the limit of your understanding or according to the capacity of your knowledge, O learned people. You are knowing this. The Lord of Heavens is saying, dhaalika mablaghahum, "that you have reached," but you can't say this is the last point and beyond it is nothing. Mendeleev is saying there are 90 elements, more or less. Who can say that hydrogen is the first and nothing is before it? No one can say. You may say that that is the first element and there are 95 remaining elements. Who gave you authority to say, “As I am finding this table, there is nothing before or after this. Hydrogen is the first element." Why is hydrogen in its position and always single? Who is giving to hydrogen that singleness? And who may say that before it is nothing, and after it is also limited? No.
One hour of reflection is better than seventy years of worship.
(Mawlana Shaykh sits.) Do you think on such a point? And no one knows the beginning and the ending of the rivers of knowledge granted to Mankind. Tafakkur, to think on how to find new keys to reach heavenly treasures of wisdoms. Tafakkur, think on it (contemplate)! Then you may say, "O our Lord, we are nothing, we know nothing and we are asking to be nothing, because we can't carry this!” Allah Almighty asked Mankind about His heavenly oath, “From all Creation, who can carry My trust, amaanati?” No one except Mankind accepted to carry it. The whole universe could not carry it, but Man accepted it. That means it opened unlimited distances for Man. Therefore, first you may reflect about yourself and consider the authority of Man, where it may reach; from where it began and where it is going to end, is it in limits or up to unlimited distances?
So many Arabic `ibaarah, expressions, coming as some of those people whom they are understanding, reaching, to heavens. And they are saying:
تحسب أنك جرم صغير وفيك انطوى العالم الأكبر
tahsabu annaka jirmun sagheer wa feeka antawa al-`alam al-akbar,
You believe that you are a tiny particle and within you Truth is unfolding from beginning to end.
Are you understanding, Salafi `ulamas? tahsabu annaka jirmun sagheer wa feeka antawa al-`alam al-akbar,
"Do you think you are a speck when the whole universe is contained in you?"
To reach from beginning up to end, because distances for the Lord of Creation are unlimited, but for Mankind everything even if it appears unlimited it is not, it is in limits. That is something they are giving me to speak, because you must know more, much more, much more about your Creator! (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Allahu Akbar, Allah Subhaanahu wa t`Aala! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)
Look to yourself; you may understand. You are the key you need for understanding everything around you or everything that you are in. You must know the key for that treasure and you may find in yourself countless universes, and in every universe you will find an opening for you, a new understanding, bringing nooraniyah, a new lightening to yourself!Therefore, think about everything! We are speaking in such a way that is very simple. We are looking at ourselves as an atom, but a big universe is coming and we may be in it. Is it possible? According to our capacity of understanding, it is impossible, but for the Lord of Heavens, the Creator of Creation, it is so easy. He may put in you a big universe and then it is not necessary for you to look through big telescopes, to see what is happening, what is this or that, no. You may look inside yourself and you may find everything outside is within you!
Therefore, the Lord of Heavens is giving such an authority for Mankind, and also to every atom, a special being, to be an example of the Lord's Greatness, because everyone is making a special singing. You may see a person only making... (Mawlana hums). This is very simple. Another, Dum! Dum! Dum! Dum! The more kinds of instruments, the more the glory that is going to appear. Therefore, all of them glorify in such a way, at their own levels. Therefore, to keep the most praised and glorified heavenly kingdom of Allah Almighty through yourself is impossible. How many countless levels it has?
May Allah forgive us. Astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah.
Dome, dome, dome, dome
Dome, dome, dome, dome
(Mawlana Shaykh prays two raka`ats Salaat ash-Shukr.)
