Be Proud of Your Prophet and Your Religion!
Sultan al-Awliya

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim
23 March 2010 Lefke, Cyprus

(Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Dastoor yaa RijaalAllah. Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. La ilaaha illa-Llah, La ilaaha illa-Llah, La ilaaha illa-Llah, La ilaaha illa-Llah Sayyidina wa Nabiyyina wa Mawlana Muhammadan `abduhu wa Habeebuhu wa Rasooluhu. Zidhu yaa Rabbee `izzan wa sharafan noorun wa surooran. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

As-salaamu `alaykum, O our precious attenders! Hear, listen and obey, and you must remember always that we are servants of the Lord of Heavens, that is the first lesson to be taught for everyone, from childhood up to the end of their lives. Countless thanks to our most beloved Prophet (s), and we are asking humbly from the Divinely Presence to be granted for our most beloved one that we are proud to be from his nation, the last of nations! Be proud of Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Daily, countless times, for his honor trumpets are sounding and angels are giving their high respects, and from Allah Almighty divinely grants are coming for Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! Be proud! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

O People! We must say a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem. Without that balance we are not coming on a perfect position. Sometimes heavenly powers (are coming in such a way that) I can't control myself until I am saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem. I never drove a car, but I see that when a person is driving, they are controlling the car with the steering wheel and, if not, the car goes (out of control). Therefore, it is a heavenly order, istaidhubillah min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. Saying this brings people on their real positions, because always our egos are asking to show themselves as bigger; as much as possible they are trying to be proud ones and they are so small, one-and-a-half meters to two meters.

But our egos are listening to Shaytan, who is saying, "As much as possible you must show yourself as bigger. You may sit on the seat of sultans or ministers, or you may be chairman of a huge company, but sometimes you look in the mirror and a small one is saying, 'Bring that one, bring this one.' (You must know,) 'Yes, I am a very huge, a very important one, ha!'"
Shaytan is always putting his magic mirror in front of people. "Look you are such a big one, from up and down also. Hmmmm."
"Really? I am that one?"
"You are in doubt, O my so big friend, but you are never looking in a magic mirror? I am carrying a magic mirror, showing that you are filling from east to west!"
"I must use this time-by-time."
"No sir! You must use it always, because you are such a majestic one."

That is Shaytan's most important mission: to make people believe that they are gigantic ones with their clothes, their seats (titles), or their palaces. As much as possible you may build palaces, but you are only like a finger. Once I was taken to the top of the Eiffel Tower and when I was looking down, I saw people were like a finger. But that finger-sized man downstairs was looking up at the Eiffel Tower, saying, "I am higher than this one," because Shaytan is making them drunk! Therefore, it is an order that every time we must use, fas ista`eedhu billah min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem.

Tonight you are not ready, our Salafi `ulamas? Marhaban! You can't find a limit for `ilm, Earthly knowledge and knowledge for heavenly stages and levels. On which stage are our Salafi `ulamas, or on which station on Earth are you going to be? "O Shaykh, we have doctors from Sorbonne, Cambridge, Boston..." Or from WC (bathroom); not WC, Washington, D.C.! Because I am an old one, sometimes I am forgetting and saying, "WC." Don't ask; in my language I am swearing, don't worry, you are `alims, when you are getting angry you are swearing also. I am hearing; if He makes me to hear, I may hear.

O Salafi `ulamas! You must know for whom Man has been created. For what have they been granted such an honor? Are you knowing this? Say, for all people to know! I am not only asking Salafi `ulamas, I am asking His Holiness the Pope, His Holiness the Chief Rabbi, I am asking also Dalai Lama. (...) Once I was in London and the chief of Buddhist people sent me one person, saying, "O Shaykh Nazim, I am coming on behalf of the Dalai Lama to make an interview with you." I said, "No, I am not speaking to you; I liked the first one and he may come here. Tell him, 'Don't send to me someone from his people to make an interview, that is not my level. The level of Islam is the highest level.'"

O People, O Muslims! You must be proud! Salafi `ulamas, why are you not saying to people morning and evening that Allah (swt) granted the highest honor to Muslims? Others have no honor in the Divinely Presence. Why are you not saying? Say! Don't swear on some people, saying they are making wrong things on Islam, always attacking them, saying, "Don't do this, it is kufr; don't do this, it is bidaa`; don't do this, it is haraam!!" Leave this!! Stand up and say who is the most honored servant on Earth! Why are you not saying? You have so much money to make broadcasting; you can easily do it, you are a famous kingdom now on Earth and you have every ability for making broadcasting, so why are you not doing that?

O Salafu 's-Salih! Why are you not saying to all people that the most honored ones from west to east in the Divinely Presence are Muslims? If there is no money with His Majesty, the King, I may pay you money to make broadcasting! (laughter) Say! Why are you not doing? You are saying, "We are doing `amr bi 'l-ma`roof, ordering the good." This is amr bi 'l-ma`roof from me to you! And you may do an-nahiy `ani 'l-munkar, forbid wrongdoing, because all nations are on munkar and you must try to correct them.

Yes, I know I am nothing, but you are saying, ''We are Salafi `ulamas." I am not accepting such Salafi `ulamas if you are not doing what we are saying! They are not my words, they are words of Holy Qur'an. Bashir `ala an-nas, an-nadhir `ala an-nas. Why are you not warning Europeans? Why are you not giving good tidings for the Muslim nation? What is the reason? I know nothing. I am not preparing something for shouting to you, but I am shouting to your egos, your nafs. You are saying, "We are Salafi." Haatoo burhanakum, "Bring your proofs." Salafu 's-Saliheen were destroying kufr and building imaan for Mankind!

I am sorry I am asking to begin with, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem, but no time. If they are making me to speak, up to end of the world I may shout to you for not first saying, bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem is a heavenly sword coming on unbelievers! (...) Inna ad-deen `indallahi 'l-Islam, "Verily, the religion with Allah is Islam." Why are you not broadcasting this message? I think if they are asking Jalaalatu `l-Malik, is he ready to support for that purpose, or is he fearing from kaffaratu 'l-fajara? Time is over! (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Allah jala jalalahu is saying, bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.

اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ

Iqtarabati 's-sa`atu w 'anshaqqa 'l-qamar.
The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder. (54:1)

Is this haqq or baatil? Fifteen centuries before, in Holy Qur'an Allah Almighty is ordering Muslims to know, Iqtarabati alssa`atu wainshaqqa al-qamaru. Why are you not saying this and opening your mouths, Salafi `ulamas? Where is your knowledge?

O our Lord, we are sinners! O our Lord, we are heedless! O our Lord, we are poisoned people through shaytanic ways! We are never accepting what they are saying for Muslims. They are working to change the understanding of Muslims from haqq to batil. They have so many universities through Mamlaka and other Muslim territories, but what are they teaching? Are they teaching Holy Qur'an? Why not? Why are you not saying this? Why are you not awakening responsible people that, "We must not follow Christians or Jews, because the Seal of Prophets, (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Sayyidina Muhammad (s) is saying, man tashabbah bi qawmin fahuwa minhum, "Who imitates a people is from them."

O Salafi `ulamas! You are such young people, like my grandsons, so hear me. Imaan is noor, heavenly light. Use that heavenly light and look at all events going through east and west, and look at which way you are following. Look and try to understand. Don't make yourselves imprisoned through four boundaries; (come out from that) and look through east and west, look at what the Holy Qur'an is saying, what it is bringing. I am not claiming I am knowing something, but they are opening as a hole of a needle something to see, and that is making whole world up and down.

O Salafi `ulamas! As you are claiming, "We are `ulamas, followers of Salaf," the horizon of knowledge is not going to be one horizon; behind the horizon are countless horizons. You are saying, "We are following Salafu 's-Salih," Salafu 's-Salih's horizons were so simple, now they are so complex. Therefore, you must try to use your capacity and ability through lights of Holy Qur'an, for looking and seeing. At the time of Salafu 's-Salih that you are saying, before 200 years ago, is something. There was no microscope, but there is now a microscope. Therefore, you must try to change your understanding methods. If, in earlier times, they were good or bad, they have been carried away, but now you are living in very difficult times for Mankind. People lost which way they can move. Why are you not bringing a light from the Holy Qur'an for people to follow it? Don't say, "We are Salafu 's-Salih;" you may be better, because you are going much wider and your horizon is much more far away.

I am sorry. I am asking forgiveness from Allah Almighty. Innamal `amaalu bin-niyaat, "Actions are according to intentions." Arabic? Ah ha! My intention is to take away batil, falsehood, and to show people what is haqq, truth! Look at your understanding from that point, and say to people. Don't wait for jalalatu 'l-malik's commands or orders to you, "Do this, do that." No, you must know your way because Allah Almighty is looking to you. Wallahu baseerun bi 'l -`ibaad wa huwa 's-Samee`u 'l-`Aleem, seeing, hearing and knowing with His Divinely Attributes, He knows everything and He looks. As you are looking at where an ant is going and moving, He Almighty is looking where our moving is going. Be a taalib (student). Try to know more and more and more. As much as you are asking more, the Lord of Heavens Who created you and everything, me and you, is sending from His divinely lights to make clear everything He sent through the Holy Qur'an!

May Allah forgive me.

Fatihah.

I am singing for jalaalat ul-malik.
