Dastoor yaa Sultanu 'l-Awliyaa.

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, `Azeez Allah!

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Kareem Allah!

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Subhaan Allah!

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Sultaan Allah!

 

Zidh habeebika yaa Rabbi 'l-`izzati wa 'l-azhaamati wal-jabaroot, `izzan wa sharafa, nooran wa suroora, ridwaanan wa sultaana. Zidh yaa Rabbana ibaadika 's-saliheen nooran wa suroora. Yaa Rabbana ighfirlana maa mada yaa waasiya 'l-karami. Anzil `alayna 'l-ghaith, suqyaa rahmatin, wa la taj `alna min al-qaaniteen. Ghaythan, mugheethan, hanee'am, maree'am, muree'aa, sah'an, ghamman, tabaqan, daa'ima! Yadhhab bihi zhulmatu 'l-kufr wa khid`aah kullu Shaytan, `alayhim maa yastahiqoon. Alfu salaat, alfu salaam `alayka yaa Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa’l-Akhireen. Aaman tabee`aka bi ihsaan ila yawmu 'd-deen! (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Yaa Sayyidee, yaa RasoolAllah, yaa Habeebullah. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

 

As-salaamu `alaykum, attenders who are attending! May Rabbu 'l-`izzah, Allah Almighty grant the attenders to be His weak servants. Kun taaliban, “Be a student.” The Seal of Prophets (s) is saying, "You must ask." And we are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-Rajeem, because we are asking for goodness, but Shaytan is quickly running to change our good intentions and efforts. Therefore, we must say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-Rajeem.

 

O our Lord! It is from our good adab, good manners to first address Allah Almighty. (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Subhaana wa t`aala. O Allah! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) When you are addressing Allah Almighty, everything is fee ghaayatu 'l-ist`adaad (alert, prepared), at the last point of being ready. When servants say, a`oodhu billah, quickly the muwakkaloon, angels appointed on this planet, take a state of taa'hub, alertness, because the servant is calling the Lord of Heavens! They immediately become prepared and alert because they are ashamed that a servant is calling Rabbu 'l-`izzah, Allah Almighty, and he may be in a very difficult and frightful position. Therefore, they are quickly asking, a`oodhu billah; that is the adab from a servant to his Creator, Allah Almighty. And angels become alert quickly, as much as possible, to meet his needs. They see the shaytans are trying to put the servant in their trap, so they quickly run and take them away. Therefore, anyone afraid of falling in a bad condition must say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-Rajeem and the angels become alert even before Allah Almighty may order, "Why are you not looking after my servant?"

 

O our Attenders! As-salaamu `alaykum. We are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-Rajeem. Shaytan is seeing so many attenders and saying, "Enough, everyday you hear that one repeating, repeating, repeating. No need, you heard it once already, it is enough!! Look at what is important for you today; how is this important?!" We know, what can be more important than such an association or meeting? But Shaytan is trying to make this assembly to be of no value. Every day you are here; yes, you must attend because sometimes you can find some jewels. For example, if there is an auction where everything is going to be sold and a customer goes to that auction all the time, he will not say, "It doesn't matter today, I am tired, I won't go," because his ego will say, "No, you must go!" Because Shaytan comes and says, "No, even if you are busy or tired, you must go because there may be a precious diamond or jewel there today which you may lose," and so that one runs there.

 

And there is no doubt that I am not sitting here on my order; I am a slave, a servant to my master, and my master is making me to sit here and say, "We are sending to you something from heavenly jewels. Call people and offer it." Therefore, Shaytan may say to so many people, "Everyday why you are going and sitting?" And every day for dunya, for auctions, not everyday, every morning and evening, you are going to auctions, running for a stone. What is bringing to you that stone, putting it in a safe and ignoring the value of this meeting on Earth? They are heedless people and slaves of Shaytan with no naseeb, and they are losing their chance! If every hour is going to be such an auction, people will run to take something from this dunya. What about this gathering, is it not for dunya? This is something asking to teach people how they should be dealing with heavenly ones, how they should deal with the Seal of Prophets (s), and then this is a humble assembly, a humble meeting whose main target is to find such a precious diamond that makes our Lord happy with us. What is that precious jewel that we must try to reach? What is that?

O `ulamas! Say, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem! Say and believe that Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem is opening every locked entrance or every store, or every treasure, here and Hereafter! Anything wrong? Who among Salafi `ulamas is saying this? You are not saying this; you are just claiming to be "Salafi `ulamas." Why are you not saying what the Salafi `ulamas were advising and saying to people? You should be saying, "O People! For treasures on Earth and in the heavens, use heavenly keys. O Muslims! O Believers! If you wish to know the key for every locked treasure here and in the Hereafter, it just opens with the key of Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem." (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) Anything wrong? No one can say what we are saying is wrong; that is the reality! Therefore, the Lord of Heavens is putting Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem at the beginning of 114 surahs, except one. 

 

I never heard our doctors, or Salafi `ulamas or other `ulamas, or learned ones call people, saying, "O People! I am reminding you that the most important thing for your lives, guaranteed here and Hereafter, is to call 'yaa Fattaah, yaa Fattaah, yaa Fattaah.'" And Fattaah, He is Almighty, Allahu akbar. (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Yaa Fattaah iftaah `alayna, (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) to make kufr down and to open countless treasures for here and Hereafter. Why are you not writing books and why are you not saying this every Jumu`ah? Every Jumu`ah you only know to say, kullu mu'tasin bid`atun, kullu bid`atun fin-naar. You have learned only this? Not to say, Bismillahi 'r- Rahmaani 'r -Raheem?

O People! That opens all treasures through this life and all treasures appointed by the Lord of Heavens to His servants. Why are you not saying? Instead every Jumu`ah you are saying on the minbar of the Holy Prophet (s), "O People! kullu mu'tasin bid`atun, kullu bid`atun dalalah, kullu dalalatun fin-naar. “Every innovation is heresy and every heresy is misguidance and every misguidance leads to Hellfire.” Why don't you say how we can protect ourselves from falling into that bid`a? Why are you not saying that to forget to say Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem, is amrun muhdath and he who is forgetting Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem, is going to be ahlu 'l-dalalah, ahlu 'l-bid`a and ahlu 'l-bid`atun fin'naar? You Wahabis are learning some things only! But those that are responsible for protecting Islam are now beginning to move against everyone whose words and claims and beliefs are wrong. The first ones are those that are trying to change aqeedatu 'l Islam, and are saying, "Accept Wahabi beliefs. All other people are on the wrong way and they are going to the Fire!” 

O Wahabis and Wahabi `ulamas! Who is giving you the authority to say this and accuse billions of Muslims of bid`a and to go to the Fire and the remaining handful of Wahabis are going to Jannah, and others of the ummah to the Fire? MashaAllah, who gave you this authority?

 

And Allah Almighty (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) is saying, alays-Allahu bi ahkami 'l- hakimeen."Is Allah not the wisest of Judges?" (95:8) (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) And if a person places his hands on the screen of the Prophet's tomb you say, "Shirk! Bid`a! Kufr! Go away!" You are making the biggest wrong! The Seal of Prophets (s) said, Al-halaalu bayyin wal haraamu bayyin. "Halaal (what is permitted) is clear and haraam (what is forbidden) is clear." With which verse of the Qur'an, or which hadeeth are you saying, "This is haraam and he who does this will be a kafir or a mushrik." By saying this you are being the haakim, judge in Islam. The Wahabis are doing this and are not fearing or ashamed of accusing Muslims, saying they are mushrik or kafir or people of bid`a. Who is giving you the authority?

Allah Almighty says, Alays-Allahu bi ahkami 'l-hakimeen. That is ayat kareema, do you not understand it? How you are giving that hukum? How are you going to be the judge of the Muslim Ummah? And the Prophet (s) is saying, "He, who says La ilaaha illa-Llah is Muslim." And even Allah (swt) is saying in His Holy Qur'an, (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Wa la taqooloo liman alqaa ilaykumu 's-salaama lasta mu'minan, "Say not to any one who offers you a salutation, 'You are not a believer.'" (4:94) And Wahabi people, you are Arabs! Allah Almighty is never happy that you accuse a person who is saying as-salaamu alaykum of being a kafir! Wa la taqooloo liman alqaa ilaykumu 's-salaama lasta mu'minan. What is that?! Are you not ashamed and not fearing Allah and His Rasool?!! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

 

May Allah forgive me. We must be Defenders of Truth! Not Wahabis, but Ahl as-Sunnah wal Jam`aat are Defenders of Truth! But our `ulamas are shirdhimatun qaleelaa khawwafahum, are fearing from a handful of people. Because our `ulamas are also running after dunya; they are not real `ulamas. Why are they not saying what is haqq? Al haqqu yaalu wa la yu' laa `alayh. Why are they not speaking to them? We are Ajam. Nabi (s) Arabioon, wa mab`ooth li 'l-Arab wal-Ajam. Ours is our tribal language, but you know Arabic and are studying, yet you are accusing Muslims, lasta mu'minan!?!! Allah Almighty is never happy if a person is saying, As-salaamu `alaykum, and it is said to them, "You are not Muslim."  And Allah Almighty is never happy with that one who is killing a person who says to him, As-salaamu `alaykum. Where is Islam? You are thinking Islam is coming under your inhisaar (confinement), that Islam is only what you know!

 

You are blocking whole knowledge, and only the knowledge that you know to be Islam and your understanding from the beginning up to the end is wrong. Where are Al-Azhar `ulamas to defend Islam against Wahabi wolves? There are shirdhimatun qaleelaa. There are a handful of people who are Wahabi. We are defenders of truth. We are not Salafi, but we are defenders of truth and the first defender of truth is Sayyidina Muhammad (s) from pre-Eternal up to Eternal (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) And you must know that Islam and Muslim communities are never going to be saved unless they are bringing the real understanding of Islam, taken from them the haybat glory. The glory is taken away because they are following and fearing from a handful of people. Why? Are they two-billion Muslims? Wahabi groups are trying to change their beliefs, trying to change their most high respects to the most respected one in Creation, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands.)  Ragham man `ala anhoom rawman `ala anhoom! We are standing up against their beliefs! We are giving our high respects to Sayyidina Muhammad (s)!!! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) May Allah forgive us.

O `ulamas! You have a heavy responsibility. I am addressing, and I am the weakest servant. I have a right to call to you and to say to you, or to accuse you, Azhari ‘ulamas. First of all, why are they not defending the truth about Islam against those Wahabi people? Allah Almighty and His beloved one are going to ask you on the Day of Resurrection, Judgment Day. O shirdhimatun qaleelaa, a handful of people, that are trying to change beliefs of Ahlu’l-Sunnah wa’l-Jama`ah coming here. Who was commanding you, teaching you such baatil, false beliefs? Who was making you attack the big mass of Muslims, saying, “You are all in haraam, you are all in shirk!” Who gives you that authority?

 

May Allah forgive us. Qul Allah wa la tubaali, “Say 'Allah' and do not care.” If we are wrong, I may call them to a place, and what the Seal of Prophets (s) did with nasaara ul najraan mubahala, I am ready. If I am wrong, fire from the heavens will come on me and burn me. If they are wrong, it will come on them. Mubahala, I am ready! Anywhere, in front of Ka`aba mu`aazam, in front of the Seal of Prophets (s), I am ready. If they have such a thing in their heart, shaja'a, courage, I am ready. SubhaanAllah, rijaalAllah, rijaalAllah aghee thoona bi-fadhlillah. They are not believing in rijaalAllah, they are believing in the rijaal of Shaytan! May Allah forgive us.

 

Fatihah.
