A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. (Mawlana Shaykh stands)
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah `Azeez Allah
Subhaan Allah, Sultaan Allah. Subhaan Allah, Sultan Allah. As-salaamu `alaykum yaa ayyuha 'l-mu`minoon.

O Believers! As-salaamu `alaykum! Isma`u wa`izhan! Listen! Every word may give to you heavenly support and in our days Man is most in need of heavenly support. Say, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem! That is our sword. It is not a plastic sword, it is a heavenly sword! If one wali were to use it, it will be strong throughout east to west and no one may raise up their head. Believe in Islam! Believe in our Lord, Almighty Allah! (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa lillahi 'l-hamd. Alfu salaam `alaa Sayyid 'l-awwaleen wa 'l-akhireen, Sayyidina Muhammad `AbdAllah. (Mawlana Shaykh sits) Allah, Allah.

O People! We are sitting here trying to be like all of prophets' listeners. All prophets were calling people, "Come and listen! Come and hear! Always obey your Creator." They did not say anything except what had been ordered to all prophets. In Arabic words we are going to say something for all of our attenders now, throughout east and west, particularly for Arabs who are saying, "Nahnu `Arab." Leave saying that you are Arab or Kurds: all of them are wrong! It is much better to say, "We are servants of our Lord!" Don't say you are Italian, English, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Iranian, Syrian, or Egyptian; leave that! The most honored title that we have been granted is, "Servant of our Lord." Say, "I am a weak servant."

Who is a real servant? Real servants are those ones who refuse to be servants of their egos. When you claim, "I am a servant," that may be accepted. If your ego is riding on you and you say, "I am a servant," how can it be? Then you are a donkey of your ego, and even a donkey is not accepting you! Say, "I am a servant of Allah!" (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, laa ilaaha illa-Llahu wa-Llahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa li-Llah `l-hamd! (Mawlana Shaykh sits) Take new refreshment! When you are saying takbeer, refreshment is coming to you, illnesses leave you, viruses run away from you, to those people who are not saying, "We are servants," and they are trembling.

O our Attenders! I am an attender. What is coming to me, I must say. I am not a lecturer, writing and then speaking or reading what I wrote. What is necessary comes to me, because prophets were speaking on the lowest level to make people understand. If you can't make people understand something from you, you are a useless one in too-high positions and common people on Earth are asking for someone to sit and advise them, to be with them on Earth, sitting on rocks, on trees, anywhere! They are not asking for chairs (of chairmen). I am not asking for a chair and no one even gives five pennies to come to me, but this chair is to make me a little bit restful. Therefore, I am sitting here, but if anyone is asking, "Come down Shaykh," we may come down and sit. Prophets came down to their people, and we may give an example. A helicopter may land everywhere but for a Concord it is impossible to land just anywhere.

Now our learned or religious people are sitting on very heavily ornamented chairs. No, it is the wrong way! How was Sayyidina `Isa, Jesus Christ, with people? Was he sitting on golden chairs or putting on his head a golden ornament, a crown? No! Why are they leaving the way of Jesus Christ? And I don't know how the Children of Israel are dressing in those round black hats. I am asking the chief rabbi, who is bringing that? Did Sayyidina Musa, Moses, peace be upon, dress as you are dressing? What is that? (Mawlana Shaykh laughs) Don't be angry! Is it better to say, "What shall we do, it is our custom."  Custom is one thing, religious orders and the religious appearance of prophets is something else! Christians and Jewish chief rabbis must change their dress!

O our Salafi `ulamas! You must also change your dress because the Seal of Prophets (s) wasn't dressing as you are now. Mercy will rain on anyone using the Prophet's model! They are never going to get headaches, which are always for people who are not keeping the model of prophets. Like this, (head uncovered), how am I looking, good? This (my head) should only be uncovered on the Day of Arafat. This is a middle-sized model (head covered with a kufi), but this amama, turban, is a crown!!! Why are you not putting crowns on your head? Why are you following your dirty egos' orders? 

O Salafi `ulamas! What is Allah Almighty saying? Are you not knowing? (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Asta'eedhu billah.

لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ

Wa lakum fee Rasoolullahi uswatan hasana.
There is for you in the Prophet of Allah an excellent example. (33:21)

(Mawlana Shaykh sits) The best model for Mankind in eating, drinking, sitting, dressing, and action is Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! You can take him as the best model for a happy, sweet life that you may find if you are following him! But people are not taking any care and cursing is coming on their heads. To avoid the problems coming now on so many people, follow that best model! If you like a happy, sweet life, follow the steps of the Seal of Prophets (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits) If not, there is no value and cursing will come on their heads, on their families, and on their works. Now everywhere, east to west, north to south, there is no heavenly mercy, only cursing reaches so many nations that have refused their prophets' advice and their models of service, "Follow prophets," and now follow the Seal of Prophets (s). If not, everything will lose no more happiness, with no more pleasure or sweet life for nations; finished, it will be locked down.

Are you understanding or not? I am trying to understand. That is the biggest problem for Man's life troubles in our days. The troublemakers are agents of Shaytan, the biggest troublemaker! All Mankind must know that Shaytan is the most terrible troublemaker. Therefore, some people are eating and others are starving, everywhere is killing, burning, everyone is full of troubles. No place is in peace, and I am sorry to say that Muslim territories are also full of Shaytan's agents and their main target that Shaytan is teaching its agents in Islam's Muslim territories (...) (Aside to someone in audience) Leave this paper and look at me, it is not important! When you are going like this, then the heavenly connection is cut off, and they are looking at a kinderbook! Tawbah, astaghfirullah 'l-`Azheem. Shaytan never stops, he has thousands and thousands of tricks, trips and traps.

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, `Azeez Allah,
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Kareem Allah.

Why are Turks eating Turks? Why are Kurdish people eating each other? Why are Iranians doing this? Why are Baghdad people doing this? Why is Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Islamic territories, the Europeans--and now I am hearing South American people--eating each other? What are they asking? They are not learning from whom they may ask, because they are on the zero point of belief and they do not believe in Islam, Christianity, or Judaism! No beliefs for them, as they are accepting Shaytan, and Shaytan is raining curses on them!

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

Fatihah.
