As-salaamu `alaykum! Yaa Rabbana.. A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Allahu Allah, Allahu Allah, Allahu Allah, `Azeez Allah! Allahu Allah, Allahu Allah,Allahu Allah, la ilaaha illa-Llah! Allahu Allah, Allahu Allah, Allahu Allah, laa ilaaha illa-Llah Sayyidina Muhammadun Rasoolullah `alayhi salaatullah wa `alaa aalihi wa saahibihi wa man tabi`ahum bi ihsaan ila yawmi 'd-deen wa `ala jamee`i 'l-anbiya wal-awliya. (Mawlana Shaykh sits)

As-salaamu `alaykum! We are sending our salutes on Saahib az-Zaman and on Qutb az-Zaman, Mutasarrifa wa`alaa ahlu 'l-nawbati fee mashaariq al-arda wa magharibiha. Allahuma qawiy da`fanaa yaa Rabbana `ala taatika, yaa Rabb, yaa Rabb!

O People! O our Attenders! O Believers! O Mu`mins! As-salaamu `alaykum. Say, A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. Anta Rabb, Anta Rabbuna, Anta Hasbuna, Anta Waliyyuna, Anta Mawlana. Subhaanak allahuma wa bihamdi wa tabaaraka ismuk wa laa ilaaha ghayruk! Allahuma 'ghfir lanaa w 'arhmana yaa Rabbi 'l-`Alameen. ... Huuuu!

O our Attenders! All of us are on the same level in this life and the Lord of Heavens sent us prophets from His heavenly level. They are Chosen Ones, sent to teach all people, to make them remember their oath on the Day when Allah Almighty asked, "Am I your Lord?" and all of us said, "Yes, You are our Creator and our Lord!" That divinely dressing is going on (continuously), never cutting, but we are listening to so many useless things that cause us not to listen, hear, or obey. We think we are only created for a short time on this planet and disappearing. Where are we going? We are going to an Unknown Territory. Daily, millions of people came to an Unknown Territory called "graveyard" or "cemetery," and beyond it, what is there? You are going to the graveyard, covering that dead body, and then coming back. One day that must reach to everyone.

Sometimes people are calling for a person that passed away and people are saying, "Who is that dead person?"
And they reply, "That is the body of a person that was well known as "Mehmet," "Ahmed," "`Ali," "`Uthman," or by so many other names.
And someone is saying, "I am asking about him and you are saying that is his dead body, but where is he?" and there is no answer.
They reply, "We are finding his dead body but we are not finding him! His real being just disappeared, his dead body was taken to the graveyard and buried."
"But where is the person? Did you bury him also?"
They answer, "No, we only buried the body."

They do not know where he is! We are not learning; if you are thinking, you will learn. Yesterday he was running in the streets or his home, now where is he? Which thing is making him stand up, to go, to come, to speak, able to do so many things? Most people are saying, "We don't know." If you don't know, you must ask. And they are saying, "We never tried to ask where he or she went, or why he left his body because there is no time, as we are so busy with our lives." One day will come to everyone when they will leave this body and go away, but to where? To somewhere that we are trying never to think about! But when you are not asking to learn, you are idiot ones, no-mind people! Why are you not asking what is the reality of life and death, in living bodies and dead bodies? Why are you not asking to learn about the reality of life? Now people are drunk, thinking this life is such a play center, that everyone only plays and then disappears, and another group is coming, playing, working, and enjoying, coming from one entrance and going out another exit, in and out. Everywhere people are looking in and then out. No one is coming here, living and not leaving, everyone must come out!

May Allah forgive us! We are ignorant people now, and Allah Almighty just sent us heavenly ones who said, "O People! We have now been sent by the Heavenly One to make you wake up and listen." And people are saying, "What is he saying? Listen to that one speaking? We have only learned fairy tales, and so many tales of people. We think that one is doing the same thing!" That is their only understanding about prophets. They are saying, "This one looks just like us and what they are saying is something we have heard before, in fairy tales and such things!" That is their mentality at the beginning of the world, in the middle centuries, and now also. All people are saying for prophets, "Prophets teachings are only 'sayings' (not real guidance, but fables), and about those also passed away they are telling the same old tales."

That is the value now in the 21st century! That is peoples' mentality for prophecy and about prophets who came from the Heavens. They are saying, "O! Those people are just like other people, so don't listen to them, but look after your enjoyment in this life. Try to reach a long life for enjoying yourself." That is 21st-century people's mentality, never taking any care for heavenly attending. Their mentality in front of holy books is, "This just passed away. So many people came and spoke of it (in fables)." With such wrong thinking, their mentality is going to be killed and they are losing their very precious chance that was granted to them to be in life, to be in reality, because the number of Mankind is just in limits! No one is thinking to say thanks to Allah Almighty! He created us to look, see, hear, understand, speak, and to listen. No one is interested to ask from where we came or what will happen to us beyond this life!

O People! That is the main reason that whole nations fell into darkness situations or darkness valleys. And yet, they are not coming to say, laa ilaaha illa-Llah Sayyidina Muhammadun Rasoolullah! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits) Come and say this, O Mankind! You will be happy, in pleasure and in heavenly shelters, and you will have no fear in this life or beyond this life! You will reach divinely grants and that will begin in this life. Those people who are following prophets now have a satisfaction in their hearts, and they have hope! Hope is a huge grant from the Lord of Heavens to His servants! Hope! If a person becomes hopeless, the biggest cursing will come on him! If he says, "There are no more days here to taste life's pleasures," that one's hope will finish, because they are not believing what is going to happen after death. Their punishment is going to begin in this life because they are losing hope, and they become dead people.

Mu'mins, believers, are not only full of hope, but their beliefs give them such power and pleasure that when they are going to be old, old, old, their hope and their pleasure increases. They believe when they leave this life, angels will welcome them with good tidings, and they know if the beauty of one angel is given to all of Mankind, it will make them radiant like full moons, so beautiful! When a mu'min leaves this life, Allah Almighty sends angels to greet them, "Welcome to the Lord's humble servant! Be pleased and be in pleasure, and don't worry about dunya, it is finished." So billions of people have passed away and you may find them either in Lightening Dominions or in Darkness Dominions.

O People! Listen and obey, and try to be an obedient servant. Your hope should be an act that, when you are using your last breath, you will reach what you believed. If not, we pray, Allahuma yaa Rabb, ij`alana fee harzik wa hifzhik wa kanafik min `adhab al-qabar wa min `adhab Yawm al-Qiyamah wa min `adhab al-jaheem, "O our Lord! Make us in Your fortress and protection and save us from punishment of the grave and from punishment of Judgment Day and from punishment of Hell."

May Allah forgive us. O our Lord! Send us one from Your beloved servants; that is enough to collect Your weak servants and bring them to Your Heavenly Presence. wa ma dhalika `ala Allahi bi-`azeez, "It is not difficult for Allah, the Great!" It is not difficult for the Lord of Heavens! No need for Himself, but one wali may give to those believers their good tidings and they will be so happy!

May Allah forgive us. And this is Shawwal, the month after holy Ramadan, and after two months are coming the days of Hajj, pilgrimage. We are asking that our names be written on the day of `Arafat as clean ones, not to reach to our Lord with heavy dirtiness. Ameen.

Fatihah.
