After Kings Will Come Tyrants
Sultan al-Awliya

Let the people look, that the Lord Almighty never left them and never forgot what they did to His servants. The holy verse says three words, ista`eedhu billah:

لَقَدْ أَحْصَاهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا

Laqad ahsahum wa `addahum 'addaan.

He does take an account of them (all) and has numbered them (all) exactly. (Surah Maryam, 19:94)

Who is "He" Who counted? He never forgets! It is written in the Heavens, how they oppressed and abused Allah's servants, one after the other; it is written on them and Allah (swt) will punish them. Let them fear! Let them fear! All of them are jabaabira, tyrants, from east to west. How many tyrants there are! What they have done has been counted; by the order of the Lord Almighty the angels have counted them. What is "counted"? It means, "one by one."

So there is a warning for the tyrants, because their end is going to be worse than the punishment of the pharoah in the time of Sayyidina Musa (a), Prophet Moses. Allahu Akbar! May Allah (swt) protect us from their evilness! The greatest fault is not on the people, but on the `ulama, the scholars that did not declare what Allah (swt) ordered to be declared! Rasoolullah (s) foretold the news about the future and gave warnings about the most important things to come. In a noble hadith, he (s) said:

_{سيكون من بعدى خلفاء ثم من بعد الخلفاء امراء ثم من بعد الامراء ملوك ثم من بعد الملوك جبابرة ثم يخرج رجل من اهل بيتى يملأ الارض عدلا كما ملئت جورا ثم يؤمر القحطانى فو الذى بعثنى بالحق ما هو دونه}

_{Sayaatee min ba`dee khulafaun wa min ba`d al-khulafaun umarraun wa min b`ad al-umarau mulookan wa min ba`d al-mulook jabaabira.}

_{There will come after me caliphs, and after caliphs will come princes, and after princes, kings, and after kings will come tyrants.}

Why didn't the scholars declare it? Why didn't they stand against Abdul Nasser when he incited a revolution against King Farouk of Egypt? They threw away the king! Then, why didn't the scholars say, "After the kings there will be tyrants." This is their fault, (and from it) they are carrying all the faults of the ummah; it's on them. From them comes the corruption and to them it will return.

Astaghfirullah! Aman, yaa Rabbee! Fatihah. May Allah Almighty free the nation from tyrants. Yaa Rahmaan! (Mawlana Shaykh makes du`a.)
