Blessings of Dhul-Qa'dah

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani

5 November 2009    Lefke, Cyprus

 

(Mawlana Shaykh stands)

Dastoor ya Sayyidee. Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, La ilaaha illa-Llah, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar wa lillahi ‘l-hamd. You are our Lord! You are our Creator! O our Lord, we are beginning by giving the most honor and glory that we can give to Your real deputy through all of Creation, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). O our Lord, You are One and You have One real deputy. He is Sayyidina Muhammad (s). You have mentioned on the Holy Throne la ilaaha illa-Llah Muhammadun Rasoolullah (s). When la ilaaha illa-Llah is written or wherever it is written, in front of it must be written also that holy name of the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s.) We have said we are witnesses and are giving our oath to You that we are accepting You as our Lord, and Your representative, Sayyidina Muhammad (s).

Shukr, shukr, shukr, O our Lord, endless shukr for You. Please forgive us for the honor of the most honored one in the Divine Presence, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). F’aktub shahaadatak indak, write our names, as we are witnesses that You are only our Lord and Your representative is Sayyidina Muhammad (s). We are saying la ilaaha illa-Llah Muhammadun Rasoolullah (s)! That is our oath! Inshaa-Allah we are not going to change. O our master, master of our dunya; the authorized one for looking after everything on this globe, on this planet. He is responsible.

(Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

 

You must believe that every creature has a responsibility. Without responsibility nothing is coming into existence, because Allah Almighty is never making something useless. Everything was created with its responsibility; even an atom cannot be by itself. It is going to be incomplete, to stand up by itself is impossible. Who is in existence by himself? Only Allah (swt). Therefore, you can’t say an atom is in existence by itself: impossible. It must be created and must be controlled and must know what it has been created for. Nothing is created without a wisdom or a necessity; you can’t say that as it means you are making shirk.

The Lord of Heavens, the Creator, is only One.  La yashbahoo shay - nothing can be like our Lord. Real existence is for Him Almighty and everyone’s existence is through His order to say, “Be,” and it is coming, appearing in existence, created.

O People! It is a Friday night, a more honored night through the week. Therefore, something is coming now which is not going to be like other addressings. The spirituality that is granted for Friday night is something else from the other days of the week. Laylatul Jumu`ah, He created and honored this night. Therefore, O People, take care of Friday night and don’t make it similar to other nights. Tajalli `azham (majestic appearance/manifestation)! When Heavenly appearance coming on Earth, the night of Jumu`ah is something else, covering honors and lights of seven days, and coming tonight. We are now in the holy month Dhul Qa`dah, which has been honored amongst others. Also, the Friday nights of this holy month are loaded with spiritual powers and heavenly treasures.

Therefore, O people, listen! Listen! I am trying to listen also. We must try to know where we are, where is our existence and what is our position through such a holy month, holy night of Friday of Dhul Qa`dah , night of Jumu’ah, Laylat ul-Jumu’ah. Allahu akbar! Everyone is created with responsibility. Everything has a different responsibility; one can’t be the same as the second one. You may say hydrogen atoms are all the same; that is your understanding. but "fawqa kulli dhi-`ilmin `aleem - Above every level of knowledge is another level of knowledge,” much wider, much more brightened and enlightened, much more granted of responsibility and particularity. This night of Dhul Qa`dah. Allahu akbar!

The important thing is that our master is asking everyone to understand something, giving real knowledge from endless Dominion Oceans of the Lord of Divine Levels, the Divine Presence. Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. It is impossible to give, to understand and to say something for His greatness. We can only say Allahu akbar!

O People! Tonight’s main point is for everyone to know that they have a responsibility. That responsibility is not from one to another one, given something for dunya. A prime minister is responsible, a president has a responsibility, but this is something that people are giving to each other on this planet. You must know, O Man, that you have been appointed to be your Lord’s deputy and are the most honored one through creation. That is not the responsibility of prime ministers, kings, queens, presidents, generals or field marshals. Every responsibility that one person gives to another one is rubbish, because when that person is passing away he is going to be more than rubbish! Rubbish you may throw away. But the rubbish of Mankind who are not understanding their responsibilities, living without taking care, they are going to be more than rubbish, a carcass. Soon a bad smell coming from them and they are putting that bad-smelling body quickly in a coffin and burying it.

O our listeners, as-salaamu ` alaykum! You must give something for understanding. When you are listening to such words that are supported by heavenly ones, you must try to listen much more carefully. Once upon a time I was zero kilometers when I was coming from the womb of my mother, but days, weeks, months, years ran by, then I was not zero kilometers and I was getting old like an old car. O People! Take care to know something. Enough that you are fighting for a carcass. Everyone is running to reach more carcasses from dunya. No meaning! You must try to understand your mission in this world and in this life. That is high speed flying to holy Heavens. Think on it. Those thinking only about carcasses in this world are coming down.

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah.

 

Sayyidina `Ibrahim (a) was calling Nimrod, “Come and believe you have a Creator; don’t say ‘I am your lord.’ You are a creature and no more! The whole world is laying down under the mighty Power Oceans of the Lord of Heavens. Come and say laa ilaaha illa-Llah Muhammadun Rasoolullah (s). If any prophet is not saying laa ilaaha illa-Llah Muhammadun Rasoolullah, he can never be granted to be a prophet.

 

Sayyidina `Ibrahim (a) was saying to Nimrod, “Come and say laa ilaaha illa-Llah, Rabbul arshi’l-adheem, Sayyidina Muhammad (s) is His deputy. Believe in him!”

And Nimrod was surprised, saying, “I never heard such a thing, only from you. Our idols making me god of this planet and you are speaking to me of a God that His sultanate, His kingdom is in the heavens. I shall try!”  

 

According to the science of that time, his grand wazir Haman said to him, “I may make an instrument so that you can try to reach the Lord of Heavens. Look if anyone is there or not.” He made a simple chair and bound to its four corners the biggest falcons. One, two, three, four. Those four big birds were left hungry for many days then Haman made four pillars and bound the carcasses, here and there. Then he said, “I am coming with you also and we shall try to get up.” Nimrod and Haman sat in the chair and put the carcass up to lure the four hungry eagles who, smelling the carcass, began to go up higher and higher.

 

Nimrod said, “What you are looking at, Haman?” The world is going to be like a small city. They reached there. “We reached now, our territory below and His territory up. Cast your arrow,” and the arrow went up and struck a fish which the angels brought from Dominions Oceans.

 

Blood fell into the chair and Haman said, “Now we have reached and finished, we are winners. Our arrow reached that One and came back with blood on it and now we may go down. They directed the birds down using the carcass, and came down. This is a story mentioned through holy books and the holy ones are knowing this. Nimrod and Haman were thinking, “We have just finished Ibrahim’s God, now heavens and below is all our territory.” Therefore, Allah Almighty did not give fish blood and never cut its head because it volunteered for cheating Nimrod to come there. Subhanallah!

 

People are of two kinds, some asking to reach up, up, up, but mostly people are asking to come down, down, down. All of the world running for what?  To take the carcass of the Earth. Only a few asking to get up. They are like those half-eagles (buzzards) asking to eat carcass. Dunya is full with carcasses and everyone is running to take something from it. As much as they are taking, they are going to be unhappy because they can’t finish it. But people are running and they are not asking to go up. Whoever has strong imaan their faith making them up, and those who lost their beliefs in front of the Lord of Heavens are coming down to eat the carcass.

O People! You are looking at what is happening in our times. People are killing themselves and asking to reach more carcasses. You are not finishing carcasses. Mankind is living on this planet for 7,000 years and we are reaching the seventh step. We are Believers.

 

Each morning after Fajr prayers, the Seal of Prophets, the most honored one, Sayyidina Muhammad (s) was asking, “Anyone has a good dream? Say it to make my nation happy.” One day he asked the Sahaaba (r), his holy companions, “Anyone has a dream to make me and also my companions happy?”

One saying, “Yes, O Seal of Prophets, your Lord’s most beloved one.”

“What is your dream? Say it so all your friends, my beloved companions, may hear.”

 

When the Prophet was saying, “my beloved companions,” do you think Sayyidina Abu Bakr (q) was there? Sayyidina `Umar (r) was there or absent? Say! Whoever is not happy with Sayyidina Abu Bakr (q) and Sayyidina `Umar (r), what is the reason? The Prophet (s) was asking, “Say, to make my companions happy.” The Prophet (s) was accepting them to be his companions or not? How are some people attacking on them and swearing at them? It is no good. I may say only this and I am sending what they are doing to the divine presence of Sayyidina Mahdi (a). I may do that; it is easy for me! I am sending and asking what should be their punishments, and Sayyidina Mahdi (a) making like this (Mawlana gestures admonishment with his forefinger) and he (a) answers, “When I am coming, I am making judgment. We know; don’t be worried,” they are saying. 

 

The Sahabi (r) said, “I dreamt that I am in a green field and I looked and saw that a minbar was brought and put in the middle of that green field. Then, yaa Rasulullah, I saw that you came and climbed on the stairs of the minbar. You stepped on the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh; you tried up to seven steps.”

 

I shall ask Wahabi imaams and scholars and Salafi people, where they are getting this from and why they are not climbing more than three steps (on the minbar). It is wrong; they are wrong! As many steps as they were putting, the Prophet (s) was climbing them to make people look at him and to hear from him. That was wisdom. But those people, no wisdom with them! Why three steps for the Prophet (s), but 300 steps for your people making skyscapers? High buildings, how many stairs? How you are getting up? If the Prophet (s) was not getting more than three, how you are getting up to be more than Ka`aba Mu`azzam? Say to me! I shall ask you in the Divine Presence also!

The Sahabi (r) said, “Then you, O most beloved one, were getting up to the seventh step and you were sitting.”

The Prophet (s) said, “Yes, your dream was real. That means umooru‘d-dunya, life on this world is 7,000 years and I am the Seal of Prophets, the Last One. I am coming at the beginning of the seventh thousand. Now we are in it and are looking to just pass 7,000 and beginning. After we are going through 7,000 and that means I am the Last One and the life on this planet going to finish on my time.”

O People! We are believing in holy knowledge of the holy ones. They are reaching to the Seal of Prophets (s) and taking real knowledge from him. O People! We are reaching the end of dunya. Don’t think that by destroying old buildings and making towers around Ka‘aba, you are building a new world. No, can’t be!

O People! Listen! This is something for this holy night and the honor of Shaykh Adnan Effendi. No one is knowing his level. We are knowing but we can’t say, therefore, for his honor we are reaching something from his heart. I am nothing. I am asking forgiveness from my Lord, asking something from my Lord, Allah Almighty and His most beloved one’s intercession.

Allah Allah, Allah Allah.

Allah Allah, Allah Allah.

SubhaanAllah

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, SubhaanAllah jalla jalaaluhu

(55 minutes) For the honor of Shaykh Adnan Effendi I am not passing more than 45 minutes, (but added) ten minutes for his honor!

Allah, Allah.

The Power of Bismillah and the Glory of `Arafat

Sultan al-Awliya

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani

25 November 2009     Lefke, Cyprus

(Mawlana Shaykh stands.)

Dastoor ya RijaalAllah, madad! Dastoor ya RijaalAllah, madad! If He is not taking us up, we can’t stand up! As-salaamu `alaykum, O our listeners! First of all we are asking forgiveness through this holy night from our Lord, Allah Almighty. One of holiest nights, tonight that pilgrims going to reach Arafat, holy place in Hijaz, to be there. And we are standing up for the honor of this holy night, for glorifying our Lord with endless glorifying, according to possibility. And we are saying as whole pilgrims saying, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaaha illa-Llah! Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahi ‘l-hamd!

Endless takbir for the Lord of Heavens and also we are giving our most high respects to our Lord’s most beloved, most honored one in His Divine Presence, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). We are asking forgiveness through this holy night and we are saying A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem! O our master, please give your protection that you have been granted. Through the most honored ones we have been granted such a power, to keep and to protect and to shelter everyone living on this planet. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

 

And we are asking, Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem! O Mankind, you must try to learn to say Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem and that giving a real relationship from your physical being to your heavenly spirit being. Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem when you are asking this here, we can’t say this, till our relationship being through heavens saying Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem and the Lord of Creation is ordering to most honored one in His Divine Presence to hear and listen and grant what weak servants asking! Therefore, when we are saying Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem, that is like an imitated words running through our tongues, and that Holy Names of Allah Almighty can’t be reaching common people’s levels. That must be from heavenly stations coming on master on this planet, and he is receiving according to his level through heavenly levels, because heavenly levels countless also. That reaching to everyone that just created before and also reaching to every new ones that going to come in existence. 

 

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem, that is our real power springs or sources that making Mankind to stand up on this planet. Also our planet taking such a power that we are saying Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem. Whole planet also singing and surrounded with beautiful singings of angels, they are saying Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem, Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem, Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem that through smallest time period, this seven times going to be surrounding our planet. If not, our planet can’t move or going to be a dead one, as scientists they are running to understand something about Mars and looking only at rocks nothing else, because planets saying Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem just finished! When finishing, it is going to be like a dead planet running through space.

 

Now our planet is a living planet and which thing making our planet to be alive? Allah Almighty’s holy Name that living people saying, Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem! That power also coming it and making to walk, making our planet to be a living one. Are planets dying? Yes, planets dying also. When? When they are stopping and finishing to say Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem. The master of that planet when finishing, that planet going to be dead one. But they are pushed or pulled with some others, some living ones in our solar system. Biggest power centre is Sun, (which has) not only one master, but perhaps 70,000 masters, that one of them on this planet. Seventy-thousand masters must be in charge for Sun; if not, Sun can’t move, can’t give energy, can’t give lights, can’t give colors, can’t give life, finishing! They are in charge.

 

That is something from heavenly knowledge that coming lowest level and up, and up, and up! There are countless masters surrounding this solar system from outside also, and making that to move in perfect condition; no any nuqsaan, wrong movement, just under such a heavy protection that no one can imagine! Our astronomers looking but not understanding this; the solar system, how moving by itself? Can’t be only for this planet. Seventy-thousand powerful ones from heavenly beings carrying on for solar system. We can’t say any number. And they are running according to holy command of Arsh, the holy command of Allah Almighty, and they never going to be mistaken. To where (running)? Going to unlimited oceans, that you can’t find for that Unlimited Oceans any measure or any direction, to say east and west, north or south, front or back, no, no.

Giving their most high glorifying for their Lord, and running. You can’t hear a heavy sound through your ears; if you can hear, your ears are not listening, and no more your physical being can carry. That is something beyond our knowledge, and our beings can’t reach to first step of them. You can’t ask how because if you are asking how, that should be coming to you, another addressing for that holy ones. Keep your understanding! Don’t ask something beyond your understanding. Only we can say that as a child inside womb of mums, that baby never knowing anything, only he knows what is around himself, but never understanding anything before coming out and looking.

 

Therefore, Man also first surrounded as a first level surrounded on this planet, and beyond that surrounding there is another surrounding from one to the second one. You must be born in a different conditions. Every time you are asking to move up, you must be born with another appearance and preparing, another and passing up, coming and this that he passed away. They are going to be through Unseen Unknown Dominions and finishing, coming a new one. Then when you are reaching to everywhere and time is over, and you are asking, your being going up to higher station, and he must be born from that to the second one, third one, and more and more and more; every time you must be born with a new being that never going to be same as your hour of first being!

Allah! Giving way, giving way. Therefore, we are asking, O our master, please grant us something for understanding. And He (Allah) is saying, “O Mankind, beings on this planet! When you are finishing your period to be here, and you are leaving skeleton here, your suitable being on this planet taken up, and through that level you are going to be seen in another personality.”

 

That it is impossible to be known till you are reaching there, now as much as you can say, it is impossible. Therefore, Allah Almighty giving to His most beloved and honored on night journey, to show him some secret beings that Mankind going to get up, showing to him till he was reaching most high level that beyond that no one knowing, the most high station for our beings is the station of Archangel Gabriel (a). When you are reaching there, you must stop there; if you are passing, you are going to be burned in one of black holes or white holes also, and finishing. Therefore, Archangel Gabriel (a) was saying to the most honoured one (s) that one asking Gabriel (a), “Come with me,” and Gabriel was saying, “I can’t, because my personality or my manifestation reaching up to here. After this, my manifestation stopping and burning and finishing.” Because the lights that the Seal of Prophets (s) getting in, no anyone through Creation able to put one step on it. That is only for one, you can’t find there a second one, no, no.

 

When reaching the Seal of Prophets (s), other levels finishing and in the Lord’s Divine Presence only One reached, and the Lord of endless Divine Oceans belongs to him. (Asking,) “Who are you?” and only one can speak face-to-face to his Lord, to his Creator. (Asking,) “WHO ARE YOU?” and answer was from that one (s) above this level. Therefore, he (s) is saying, no one there except one, not two! Therefore, when the Seal of Prophets (s) was asked, “Who are you?” his answer was, “You can’t be there two; must be only One!”

May Allah forgive us and give us some understanding that is just surface of Unknown Territories, Unknown Oceans, Unknown Dominions; dominion that just going disappeared. That is Maqamu ‘t-Tawheed, to accept that only one, not a second one, whole for him (s), but he is not that ones, no. May Allah give us a good understanding. O Mankind, you are very important Creation, that you have been created and granted an understanding that even angels can’t reach that understanding! Therefore, O Mankind, keep your honor! Don’t loose your honor. Be deputies of the Lord of Heavens. When you are reaching that point, you should find yourself in Unknown Territories, Unknown Dominion, Unknown Oceans.

Oh, Oh, Ohhhh! We are not going to be a small fish; that it is only in one place through ocean but when real being servant, he knows about himself that he is everywhere with his Lord. May Allah forgive us, and we are asking from Allah Almighty to grant us for the honor of His most honored one’s intercession, through such a holy night to be dressed a good understanding that taking ourselves from Asfala saafileen, most down place, taking us to most high station! And this chance only just granted once to Mankind; don’t think that we are going into be granted once again to be passing through that levels, no, finished! Can’t be able to come back and to step forward; no, it is only once. Therefore, who reaching to his real being through heavenly levels, finished. Whom they are not reaching, they are going to disappear, disappearing and finishing. May Allah grants you through this holy night something for understanding about Allah Almighty’s Generosity and His Power and His Capacity and His Ability and endless oceans that stand ourselves, to give us an understanding on this planet, and such countless planets through this space!

[36 minutes] Because our heavenly powers occupied on Muqaddas, holy place in Hijaz or `Arafat, and they are busy for hujjaj, pilgrims, welcoming them because people can’t be able to reach a level that they may hear from their Lord, “Welcome!” Angels welcoming and also holy ones welcoming whole pilgrims, and they are busy for everyone from pilgrims to be protected, not to lose their chances through this holy night (`Arafah). And we are asking also that the Lord of Heavens grant us for everyone one angel to be on that holy mountain and holy place, to do something that it is an honor for Muslims and believers, and to say, Labbayk Allahumma, labbayk! Labbayka la shareeka laka labbayk! Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaaha illa-Llah! Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahi ‘l-hamd!

Fatihah.

[40 minutes] Enough, it is a Heavy Ocean now that we are entering in it through this holy night. Therefore, it is a real Power Oceans through this night opening, and coming through our hearts also, to wake up people or to make them if they are dead ones to be alive. Knowledge that belongs to heavens giving to you to be alive. Nothing giving to Man to be alive except heavenly powers running to believers, that they are awakened ones and they are getting to be alive and reaching real life through their Lord’s Divine Presence!

No photocopy; they passed away and always coming new ones for the honor for the Seal of Whole Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). Allah knows.

The Heart of a Believer Is Allah's Throne

Mawlana Sultanu 'l-Awliya Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani

12 November 2009   Lefke, Cyprus

   

(Mawlana Shaykh stands.)

Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaaha illa-Llah, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahi ‘l-hamd! La ilaha illa-Llah, Sayyidina Muhammad Rasulullah (s). Allahu akbar kabeera w'alhamdulillahi katheera wa subhaanallahi bukratan wa aseela. La ilaaha illa-Llah Sayyidina Muhammadan Rasulullah (s) f 'aktub shahaadatina `indaka ya Sayyidi ‘l-awwaleen wa ‘l-akhireen. 

 

We are humbly asking from most the honored one in the Divine Presence that to be written our kalimatu ‘s-shahaada in his holy presence. We are asking forgiveness for every wrong action, wrong speaking, wrong thinking and wrong doing. We are asking forgiveness and blessings from the Lord of Heavens. As-salaamu `alaykum yaa Sayyidina, yaa Qutb uz-Zamaan that this world is under his command and his command coming from heavens and heavens’ commands coming from divine levels. Ooh, give us O our Master, through your spirituality, a good understanding. If you are not granting us that understanding, we are never going to understand anything. Huuu..., Huuu..., Huuu..., Huuu. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

 

No one knows who He is. It is impossible; no possibility to know about our Creator. Only Allah Almighty granting something to His most beloved and honored, glorified servant, according to His most beloved servant’s understanding level. The Seal of Prophet’s level impossible to reach for any prophet or any angel. And we are asking something that had been granted to the master of this planet, Qutb, to grant us something for understanding. That is our Lord’s Generosity, and our Lord’s Generosity is His Divine Attribute that belongs to the Lord’s Divine Being. 

 

O People, as-salaamu `alaykum. We must try day by day to learn, if learning for understanding. If understanding, to use our efforts for reaching that open for Mankind from heavenly oceans. SubhaanAllah. Whole glory and majesty for the Lord of whole creation. This is a holy night. When Allah Almighty granting, a holiness for anything going to that holy one. And this month is a holy month and also tonight is last Friday night of Dhul Qa`dah, that just honored by their Lord Almighty Allah. Therefore, O People, when our Lord giving honor to something, you must give honor. That is very important point, that mostly people are heedless or ignorant or on the level of animals. That attribute from the Lord of Heavens coming and He is granting anyone any honor and any glory and any highness-level with heavenly attributes. Now this world can’t carry a person who is granted from the Lord of Heavens something that belongs to heavenly stations. May Allah forgive us.

 

As-salaamu `alaykum our listeners. Don’t say, “We are listening to such a person.” No. If you are saying this, you never going to get up from your physical being to arise towards heavens. Don’t say, “Shaykh is speaking.” No, no, that is an attribute that granted to people of heavens whom they are on heavenly levels. As attribute, they may do this; they may send from their spiritual power, may reach in just a moment or smaller, smaller, smaller, their speed on heavens, never going to be like speed of Mankind. But Allah Almighty granting to His chosen creatures that they are Children of Adam such an ability or capacity that from heavenly stations they may reach to people whom they have been appointed to be deputies of the Lord of Heavens.

 

Allah Allah, SubhanAllah, maa` azhama shaanak, O our Lord. And we are saying now a`oodhu billaahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem. Say and seriously give your hearing, so that holy addressings may come to your clean hearing and entering through your mind, and then running into your heart. When you are reaching that point, then what coming from heavens to our minds, then to heart, then coming to heart and getting over your mind. When heart is opening for accepting holy things about heavens and heavenly levels, going to be your heart sultan. Commonly people, they are born, their hearts locked but their minds open, according to their capacities also. When growing up and your mind getting such a power from heavens, going not to be able to carry that secret powers, then knocking on the heart.

Heart from inside, asking, “Who is that one?” 

“I am nothing.” 

“If you are nothing, come in. ‘I’ finished, come in!”

Therefore, whom they have such a being following their egos, their heart never getting to be opened. Therefore, when that heavenly power reaching and our minds not going to be able to carry, then coming to our heart and heart opening. Heart, as it is mentioned through whole holy books, is the throne of Sultan; the throne of Sultan, your heart is opening. When opening, sultan getting in. I am not saying Sultan, that Divine Attribute. Never! Only as a name, sultan of our hearts. If you are asking, “Where is Allah?” don’t say "He is on `Arsh" or "He is in heavens" or "He is everywhere." Don’t say, don’t give ishaarat, any sign. You may say, "The Lord of Heavens is through the hearts of His deputies." Therefore, whole body has no meaning if we haven’t a heart; no meaning for our beings because you are deputy for what? Because the Lord of Heavens saying "Qalbu ‘l-mu’min `arshullah - Heart of My servant, My Divine Throne is there.”

 

No one knows real heart, what it is. It is not what we have, a piece of meat, no. Who is commanding you? That command coming from heavens, and going to be representative from holy throne of the Lord of Heavens and Allah Almighty’s thrones, one or a thousand or millions, billions; He knows! But don’t think that His real throne, whole creation can carry that one. No, no! That belongs to Allah, only for Him. Why we are saying qalbu ‘l-mu’min arshullah? A ray from the Holy Throne of the Lord of Heavens reaching there and giving a lightening in it, according to the power of that servant.

 

Don’t think that Allah Almighty’s Throne like the throne of Bilqees. You know Bilqees, the Queen of Sheba? In just a moment, just carried from her palace and was in front of Sayyidina Sulayman (a). If that throne was really of Queen of Sheba, no one can carry it, but not really for her. It was a grant from the Lord of Heavens. Bilqees, Queen of Sheba’s throne, was only was a symbol. Therefore, taking and quickly putting there. When I am reciting the story of Bilqees Queen of Sheba, about her throne, I am surprising huwa `an `azheematu ‘sh-shaan, Holy Qur’an, the Lord’s speech to people. When Sulayman (a) asking, “Who may bring to me that throne?” one jinn saying, “O our Lord, before you are standing up from your holy throne and sitting, I am bringing it here to you!”

 

Arab and other nations, you are so proud, saying, “We know something.” You are so proud to be written at the beginning of your names, “Dr.” Where is your knowledge? You are not reciting, Salafi people! Salafi and Wahabi people, leave that bida`a, bida`a, b’ud`a, ta`allamoo min al qurani ‘l-kareem - (learn from the Glorious Quran). Don’t say, that is bida`, that is mushrik, that is kaafir, that is haraam! I am asking from you. I am not claiming that I know, no. I am only lowest standard person. I am not saying, “I am something.” But you are saying, “We know everything. Holy Qur’an knowledge we know, Ahl as-Sunnah not knowing. Wahabi people knowing.” Or Salafi people saying, “We know Qur’an.” Haah, you know? Open that chapter and read, recite Holy Qur’an what Allah Almighty saying about `alim.

 

The time of Sayyidina Sulayman (a), wa qaala ‘lladhi indahu `ilmun min al-kitaab. I am speakng kalaam faadi (empty words)? You bring another word and say to people. (Mawlana very angry.)YOU ARE ANGRY WITH ME, ANGELS ANGRY WITH YOU! I AM SPEAKING HAQQ!

 

قَالَ الَّذِي عِندَهُ عِلْمٌ
مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَن يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ

Qaal alladhee `indahu `ilmun mina ‘l-kitaabi ana aateeka bihi  qabla an yartadda ilayk tarfuka  - Said one who had knowledge of the book, ‘I will bring it to you in the twinkling of an eye!’” (27:40)

 

(Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Qur’an or not? Where is your `ilm?! Where is your knowledge?! Do you think that what just granted to Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)? (Mawlana shaykh sits, looks fiercely into camera, pointing his finger.) Don’t say, “We are knowing something,” or I am making my shikwah; I am COMPLAINING (ABOUT) YOU IN THE DIVINE PRESENCE! Keep your tongues to say, “This halaal, that haraam.” You can’t say that! Prophet (s) was saying al halaalu bayyinu wa ‘l-haraamu bayyin. Qul haatoo burhanakum (halaal, the permitted, is clear and haraam, the forbidden, is clear. Bring your proof [if indeed you are truthful]). Which thing preventing, not to say salaat `ala an-nabiyy, salawaatu sharifa or dhikr or tariqah?! And Allah Almighty saying:

وَأَلَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى
الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُم مَّاء غَدَقًا

wa law istiqaamu `ala at-tareeqati la asqaynaahum ma’an ghadaqa - "If they (the Pagans) had (only) remained on the (right) Way, We should
certainly have bestowed on them Rain in abundance. (72:16)

You are saying no tariqat in Islam; look in Holy Qur’an what saying. Astaghfirullah, tawbah ya Rabbee, tawbah astaghfirullah!

 

That is true, that is like an ocean. Don’t think that I am looking (in) books and addressing people. O People, you also take your care! If not giving value to what you are hearing, heavenly anger may touch you. May Allah forgive us. Astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah.

What about the throne of the Lord of Heavens? Allah Allah, Allahu akbar `ala man takabbar wa tajabbar (Allah is greater than the one who is arrogant; and who is oppressive) Ism`a wa `atee - Hear and obey! You are looking yourself so high and that I am so small one. But I am such an atom that you may be like a continent but you are nothing in front of an atom's power.

 

(Mawlana Shaykh sings.)

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

Dome dome dome dome

(Mawlana Shaykh stands.) O our Lord, grant us some lights for understanding for the honor of the Seal of Prophets, Muhammad (s). (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

 

May Allah forgive us. Don’t think that everyone (is) like you and you are looking yourself over (above) whole people. Some people may be like an atom; when it explodes, taking all of you away.

Tawbah ya Rabbee, tawbah ya Rabbee, tawbah astaghfirullah, tawbah ya Rabbee, tawbah ya Rabbee, tawbah astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah.

They may grant to me to bring a commentary about that wazeer of Sayyidina Sulayman (a), that he said to him: “Oh King Sulayman, I can bring it,” wa qaala ‘lladhee `indahu `ilmu mina ‘l -kitaab, kitaab ur-rusula, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). What do you think, (is) King Sulayman’s (a) book more important or Holy Qur’an more important? That person taking such a power through King Sulayman’s holy book. Where are our `ulama to take something from Holy Qur’an to make this world zilzaal, shaking. Always through my heart coming this. Keep your adab with heavenly ones, you should reach such a secret powers. As long as you are so proud, you never reaching anything.

 

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

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Subhaan Allah

Ya `Afuw, forgive us Yaa Rabbana, for the honor of this honored night and the honor of your most glorified and most honored one in Your Divine Presence. Fatihah.

Q & A Session

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani

6 November 2009       Jakarta, Indonesia

A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.
Nawaytu 'l-arba`een, nawaytu 'l-`itikaaf, nawaytu 'l-khalwah, nawaytu 'l-`uzlah,
nawaytu 'r-riyaadah, nawaytu 's-sulook, lillahi ta`ala fee haadha 'l-masjid.

Ati`ullaha wa ati`u 'r-Rasoola wa ooli 'l-amri minkum.
Obey Allah, obey the Prophet, and obey those in authority among you. (4:59)

 

 
Q: What is the language of Ahlu 'l-Jannah (People of Paradise) and what is the fastest way to learn Islam?
MSH: The language of Ahlu 'l-Jannah is Arabic. When Allah taught Adam (a) the names in Paradise, many scholars say, it was in Arabic. And Allah revealed His words to the heart of Adam (a). Adam (a) understood, he (a) didn’t need to talk. But when he (a) came on earth, the language of Sayyidina Adam (a) was different, but the language in Paradise was Arabic. So on earth, we don’t know because it is not mentioned, but we know in Paradise it is Arabic.
The fastest way to learn Islam is to say Ashhadu an Laa ilaaha illa-Llaah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadun Rasoolullah. "من قال لا اله الا الله دخل الجنة - Man qaalla Laa ilaaha illa-Llaah dakhala' l-jannah - Whoever says La ilaaha illa-Llaah enters Paradise" with the Prophet (s). This means keep saying Muhammadun Rasoolullah (s), Allah will open to your heart the way of Islam, Insha-Allah.

Q: What can you say about Sayyidina Imam Mahdi (a)?
MSH: Prophet (s) said, “One of my grandchildren will come with a heavenly support that will fill this Earth with justice, as it is filled with oppression." So that is our belief, the belief of Ahlu 's-Sunnah wa 'l-Jama`ah. You can read the ahadeeth about Mahdi (a); many are authentic and have been authenticized in different collections.

Q: What is the difference between true guidance and as people are saying today, the "mind/body/spirit" connection?
MSH: It is so easy. What Allah said in Holy Qur’an about hidayah (guidance). Do you love Allah in your heart or not? Do you love Him or not? Do you love Allah (swt)? How much? (Person answers “So much”). Allah said in Holy Qur’an, “قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ
اللّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللّهُ - in kuntum tuhibboonallah fattabi`oonee yuhbibkumullaah - If you love Allah, follow Muhammad, Allah will love you.” Follow the Prophet (s), Allah will love you. So the importance is to follow what Prophet (s) has indicated for us: the Shari`ah. We don’t like to do anything against Shari`ah. Anything done against Shari`ah is unacceptable. So that is how to really get hidaayah, because Allah said in Holy Qur’an to Sayyidina Muhammad (s), لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَن يَشَاء la tahdee man ahbabt inn'Allaaha yahdee man yashaa - Don’t guide whom you love, Allah will guide whom He likes.” (28:56) So guidance comes from Allah (swt), through ittib`a an-Nabi (s) - by following Sayyidina Muhammad (s). Then you get hidayah Insha'Allah, and it will be the fastest way.

Q: Some people say the end of the world will be in 2012. Is that true?
MSH: Standing to Prophet (s) is standing to Allah, man `atta ar rasool faqad `attallah. And in reference to the first question about the end of 2012 why not 2010? Laa y`alamu' l-ghayba Ill-Llah, “Allah knows the unseen.” Might be 2009, end of this year, who knows? And why we have to take everything in the Western way? Why we don’t believe in what the Prophet (s) said about it? (Mawlana stands.) Now we are standing for Prophet (s), which means we are standing for Allah (swt).

 

And the last question about soul, mind, and body, for that you need to come to America to stay one month with me. I recommend you read my book, The Sufi Science of Self-Realization, science for the body and mind. All these things have been mentioned in the book. Now I don’t see the time here, but we know that even an atom has a mass, and electrons, which are the energy of the atom. The energy in these electrons is circumbulating around the mass always in the speed of light. Also, the soul is circumbulating around the mass of the body. There is a relationship between mass and soul. You cannot have mass alone without soul and vice versa, just like you cannot have an atom without an electron, proton, or a neutron. All these combinations have to be balanced. That’s why in the Islamic balancing where Prophet (s) really explained very eloquently about how the atom works, He (s) combined Maqam ul-Islam together with faith. Islam plus faith plus Ihsan (moral excellence) is the combination of the obligations. When you accept Islam, you accept to pray. So with this movement of the body there has to be movement of the faith. You cannot be moving the body without faith. That faith that is within you is acting like the energy in the atom, like the electrons in the atom. Everything is in a balanced situation. Speaking about the mind, yes the mind has control, big control over our system. But I don’t agree with you that the mind can love the real love, because if someone is in a coma his heart is still beating, he is still alive. The mind is completely gone but still he is alive. That life is not affected by the mind.

When you submit to Allah (swt) you will be in full position, the heart submitting to the Creator and that’s why people will go into a coma of dunya and come to a vision of akhira. So that combination of many different issues; I don’t think is going to be understood in one session. There have to be certain procedures to understand that. Since you are reading a lot of literature, you can read my book on that issue and insha'Allah you will get an answer, or you come to America for one month; we will send you an invitation and you come there insha'Allah.

I think people are happy. Any more questions or finished? The last one now can ask ten questions in one question.

Q: Is it advisable to do dhikr and awraad all day, and not work?
MSH: That is the worst thing you can do. Because Allah said, رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً Rabbana aatina fi 'd-dunya hasanatan fi 'l-akhirati hasanah, “Give us in dunya hasanah and give us in akhira hasanah.” You cannot leave dunya and say, “I’m waiting,” and sit in the corner, then everything will shut down. No, you keep working until the last moment. Prophet (s) ordered Sahaabah (r) to plant, he didn’t say to them to stop. When they asked him (s) about grafting the tree and sowing the palm, he (s) said to work. So we cannot sit and wait, but this is not for everyone. There are some people that Allah made them concerned only about akhirah, for them that is okay. They are in a process of daw`ah, that’s okay for them. But the rest have to work. If you are sick, where do you go? Do you sit in the basement and say Allah, Allah, laa ilaaha illa-Llah or do you go to a hospital? If there is no hospital what happens? You die. So I think when somebody is sick, immediately you leave your prayer and run to the hospital. This means we have to work until the last moment of our life, but balancing between the work of dunya and the work of akhirah. As we work for dunya, we need to work for akhirah.

May Allah (swt) forgive us. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem, du`a from Shaykh Abdur Rahman.

The Trick of “Positive Knowledge”

Sultan al-Awliya 

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqani

2 November 2009    Lefke, Cyprus

 

 

Dastur ya RijalAllah, madad, astaghfirullah. Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha illa-Llah w'Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahi ‘l-hamd. Ya Rabbana, Anta Rabbuna, Anta hasbuna, Anta waliyyuna, Anta maulana wa nahnu abiduka duafa muhtaajin... fagh firlana mamada ya wasi` al-karaami sabirna! Ya Rabbana, `ibaad bi jaahi habeebika Mustafa nahnu `abiduka du`afa fuqaraa muhtaajin! alfu salaat, alfu salaam ala'd-dawaam ala habeebu 'r-rahmaan, sayyidee 'l-awaleen wal-akhireen Sayyidina Muhammad, ishfa-` lana ya sayyidee 'r rusool-kiraam ishfa-`lana li annu shafa`tak matlooban, marghoobun wa makoolun shafa`tak la turaad, Ya Rasulullah!

As-salamu alaykum, our listeners, wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Allahumma al-himna rushdana bi jaahi nabiyyika Mustafa (s).

O our protector through life on this planet, master of this planet, qutb-uz-zamaan! We are running to you for heavenly support. Now we are so weak, so hopeless. We are in need of your support, O our master, qutb-uz-zamaan. To be a qutub is an appointment from the Lord of Heavens: He may grant that. We are saying, a`udhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. We are fearing from our ego's dirtiness, because dirtiness is not for Divine Presence as we have been ordered to make ablution for prayers. Also, we are in need of reaching heavenly presence of the Lord of Heavens' cleanliness, وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ  wa theeyaabaka fa't-tahir - And thy garments keep free from stain! (74:4)

O our Muslim Arabs or Arab Muslims! Are you understanding, fa thiyaabaka fa't-tahir? Do you think that one who is cleaning and changing his underwear three times a day, changing their clothes outside, that is cleanliness? Allah Almighty ordering when He is saying,  وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ - wa fatheeyaabaka fa't-tahir وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا  wa yutahirakum tatheeran - make you pure and spotless. (33:33) It means that it is tatheer not like taharah (purity), but it is tatheer. Allah Almighty asking that his servants be so clean, ghaya, the last point that you can make yourself to be clean. The Lord of Heavens asking for the last point of cleanliness. Don’t leave on yourself or on your clothes particularly, don’t leave any dirtiness on your real personality that is thrown on you by Shaytan and devils. Shaytan and devils are so haris, eager, to make Mankind dirty. That is their last aim against Mankind, who are clean and honored in the Divine Presence as His deputies. The deputy must try to be full or complete, perfect, clean ones. That is holy command from Heavens to Mankind, wa fatheeyaabaka fa't-tahir.

 

O Man! You are living on this planet for some time. Through your life on this planet so many occasions are given to everyone, as well as to Shaytan and its armies, to make the servants of the Lord to not be clean, (but to be) dirty! Heavenly order, “Be clean!” and Shaytan calling people, “Don’t listen. Come after me and enjoy yourself. Don’t believe what they are saying about cleaning. I am calling you to enjoy yourself as much as you can. And when you are going back to your home, take a shower. Finished.” Cheating people. “Don’t worry if you are falling into sewage channels. Don’t worry! Get in those sewage channels. Get in and drink and eat, and swim in it. Don’t say, 'We are going to be dirty,' no, get out and take a shower, finished.” That is Shaytan's teachings on this planet for Mankind.

 

There are two teaching centers, one belongs to Heavens and the second to Hells, to darkness territories, more darkness. One is enlightened ways for reaching more and coming close, much closer to the Oceans of Lightening through Allah Almighty’s endless Heaven Oceans. Through Heaven Oceans endless dominions of the Lord of Heavens looking after you to come there. And second one is dark, black holes calling, Shaytan asking to cheat people, “Come after me, come and enter in it. You should be very happy and joyful.”

 

Therefore, O people, I am saying something through my master to you. Did you ever see a scenery lighted on stage while play is going on? They are making it dark, shutting down the lights and people sitting through dark place for looking at something. Shaytan saying, “O people, I am taking you now through these darkest territories to enlightened territories. You should find so many things through that darkness. You are going to see so many things. If we are not using that darkness, you can’t see anything on screen. No. Therefore, I am putting you into darkness and, after darkness, you should see so many things.” But really you are just in darkness of black hole, putting you in it, then you will see there. If you are not coming to sit into darkness, it is not going to appear. That is Shaytanic teaching.

 

Shaytan is using thousands of tricks and traps. When you are entering through darkness, you are not seeing anything. What you are doing, you are not understanding. It means you are just caught by darkness waiters from Shaytan carrying you and making a stage, saying, “Look, look, look.” “Yes, I am looking, but I am not there; I am not living in that stage, I am here.” If anyone is using his mentality there, Shaytan is quickly taking that one outside. “We are not seeing anything. We are not there.” Shaytan is kicking him outside not to cheat other people and to tell. Therefore, Shaytan is using countless traps and tricks on people for cheating them, to not listen to prophets, the heavenly messengers; to what they are saying and teaching, saying, “This is nothing. I am coming to cheat you.”

 

Therefore, in our days Shaytan making people, particularly learned people, to say, “We have a mentality, enough zaka and `aqil (intelligence, cleverness) and we must try to make our cleverness an unchangeable balance; there is a balance for everything. We must use our cleverness as our lord. We must bow in front of our cleverness and positive knowledge.” They are doing that as (if) they are gods. They are saying, “(There is) no god, (there is) only what we are looking and seeing from our minds and positive knowledge, that’s it. We are bowing in front of that.” That is biggest sin for humanity making their faces to be changed and to be taken from them heavenly lights that were granted when they were coming to this life from the wombs of their mothers. When you are looking at a baby when coming it is so innocent, but when he is growing up, Shaytan is playing with his understanding, playing through his cleverness. He is trying to make them not to believe in the Lord of Heavens.

 

They are saying, “Nothing is up. Everything is in front of you.” Positivism. They are saying, “We must approach something, then we are believing positive knowledge.” That is their understanding and it is false, one hundred percent. Not one hundred percent, a thousand percent. Now whole world is believing in such nonsense ideas that Shaytan teaching them, saying, “Don’t believe in such a one that you are not seeing or approving him. But you must have, if you are asking a lord for yourself, positive knowledge. Enough for you.” Therefore, there is a very famous branch of ideas in our days, Positivism, refusing everything about spirituality. Saying, “We are not accepting. Only we are accepting positive knowledge, and we are positive people.” That is Shaytanic teachings.

 

All prophets came with heavenly powers granted to them. If you are looking at their faces, you should enjoy them and be full with a pleasure. For what reason? (Mawlana has a coughing bout.) Shaytan never likes that I may speak, making coughing for me! Curse on you, l`aanatullah `alayh on that one! Sayyidina Yusuf (a) had been granted to be so handsome. All prophets, their faces like moon so handsome, that was a grant from heavens to human nature. The Egyptian people were in a drought and coming and standing in front of palace of Sayyidina Yusuf (a). Sayyidina Yusuf (a) coming, standing and giving salaam to them. When they looked at his face, they forgot their hunger. They kept on looking, looking, looking. When Sayyidina Yusuf (a) going into his palace, people were still standing there for three days like this. Three days that noor of his beauty until closing, they are looking and for forty days they are not feeling hunger!

 

The Lord of Heavens giving such beauty and lights to his divine servants. Therefore, Sayyidina Yusuf (a) was the most beautiful among prophets, (Mawlana stands) but beauty of the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s) even more. If Yusuf (a) was a crescent, Sayyidina Muhammad (s) like a full moon! Or Sayyidina Yusuf (a) was like a moon then Sayyidina Muhammad (s) like sun shining despite (what) Wahabi and Salafi people (say). I am giving nothing for the honor of the Seal of Prophets (s), (only) Allah (swt) is giving to him and dressing that beauty on His most beloved servant!

 

As-saalamu `alaykum, O our listeners! Don’t say that knowledge is only for those people who are learning something through colleges, high schools, academies or universities. Don’t believe that all knowledge and its lightening for them. No, they have been given only a very small spot like an atom. Hear and believe! I am a translator for the honored ones in heavenly levels for the presence of Allah Almighty. They are granted something appearing from the smallest light. If appearing from one that granted a heavenly light, this world going to disappear through that light. Don’t say, “O Shaykh, you are exaggerating.” It is not mubalagha. It is the smallest thing I can say only, because their minds can’t carry. If we are going to speak something on that point, their minds going to be solid like stone. No understanding and no feeling. Don’t say that we are doing too much, no; it is not too much, but too small!

 

That is about prophecy. They are granting a little tonight for people on how they have been granted heavenly beauty and handsomeness; you can’t imagine! Therefore, those who have been granted such a knowledge from heavens are awliyaa, saints. If you are looking at one of them, you can’t carry. Even to look to their eyes, you may fall. Therefore, they are mostly closing and not showing. If anyone asking to look through their eyes, they are tiring and becoming ashamed and retreating.

 

But those people who are followers of positive knowledge as Shaytan teaching to them, you can’t look to their faces, so ugly, so ugly! If you are looking for three days you can’t eat something, such ugly ones. Those claiming against holy knowledge are saying, “We are representative of positive knowledge.” Look at their faces. You can’t even look at their faces for ten seconds, so ugly. Bring their photos here and look at them. What you should see? O my Lord! O Rabbuna, O Rabbuna wa Rabbu 'l-`alameen.

 

That is from tonight’s association. A little bit changing coming tonight, as He likes about His deputies on Earth; prophets, messengers from heavens. People who are not accepting heavenly lights, their faces through darkness and they have also a bad breathing. You can’t approach them because of that dirty breathing. Also, from their body coming such a dirty smelling. Doesn’t matter whether they use soaps and perfumes, their bodies smell dirty. But those people who are taking from heavens, their bodies giving perfume to people. O people, try to cling to the ways of imaan and Holy Qur'an. Prophet (s) saying, “Try to do this.” You can’t reach to that point till you are following one of heavens representatives. Look after that.

 

Fatihah. May Allah forgive us, O People.

Q & A Session

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani

31 October 2009  Jakarta, Indonesia

Fundraiser for Orphan Children at University Paramadina Jakarta

 

Qur'an recitation by Ustaz Jumhuri

 

As-salaam `alaykum wa rahmatullahi ta`ala wa barakatuh



Salama alayykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakutuh



Mawlana Shaykh Hisham responds to questions from the audience.

Q: I want to know about the most pressing topic in us. Since you are the chairman of ISCA, what is biggest concern of Muslims in the US and what is your opinion about it?

A: Thank you for this important question. We are looking into this subject. In reality, Muslims are not united. If the Muslims were united it would be easy to have a better understanding with the others. You know that the US is a very open, democratic and open-minded country. The pressing subject is, how to show and share the values of Islam with our our American brothers and sisters. The values the Prophet (s) brought of moral excellence, which many Muslims don't know about. They focus on the first 5 pillars; that is the shahada, prayers, fasting in Ramadan, giving donations and doing the Hajj. However, they don't  give attention to the other two aspects of religion. Namely, Iman (faith) and Ihsan, moral excellence. You cannot cheat as a Muslim. In general, it is important for a Muslim  to be taught these principles in Muslim schools. To learn the discipline of Islam which teaches how to behave with [for example] Americans. For instance, if you say to my daughter you are not American she will refuse. She says she is American and she laughs. With my grandchildren it is the same. We want to show that we want integration not segregation. Muslims have to step forward as the US government likes integration. We are trying to work very closely with the administration to implement Islamic teachings. To show Islam to be a moderate religion as it is a heavenly religion. This is very important within the US and outside it as well. What you are asking is to have an understanding of Islam with all its interpretations and technicalities.

Q: Why do some Naqshbandis ignore the government's ruling of the breaking of fast at the end of Ramadan?

A: This question is very easy. The question is why some of the Naqshbandis broke fast 2 days earlier than the others. That was a stupid mistake by them. We don't accept it and they are on their own. That is their responsibility. As I told them, if they want to repent to Allah (swt) they must fast 60 days for each. You must break fast with the rest of the country. Religion is not a joke. You live in a certain country, you fast with them and you break fast with them according to the government. Once the Saudi government mistakenly announced the breaking of fast after 28 days, having realized this they announced a further fast of 2 days. Our people did this without authority. They are not the judge or the authority in the country. In Saudi there was mistake in sighting the moon. Here, these Naqshbandi knew that we were fasting, our Shaykh was fasting and even if he broke fast with Cyprus, we in America must follow our country. All Muslim countries broke fast on Sunday, so we broke fast on Sunday. That is an easy answer. They are responsible for what they have done; they asked repentance in public and are fasting 120 days. I didn't make the Shariah, that is what Allah (swt) and Prophet (s) did. They must fast and if they can't they must feed a poor person. This is their punishment. Some are following it, some are not. It is up to them.

A: The first question is why were there two celebrations of Laylat al-Qadr. I am not going into the technicality of it in Shariah. The Prophet (s) said, soomoo li ruiyatih wa aftiroo li ruiyatih, fast when you see the moon and break fast when you see the moon. In some countries they might not see the moon as it is cloudy but today there is technology and they can know the first and the last days of the moon by calculations. Some Islamic scholars approve using technology to calculate the days and some say you have to see the moon. These are the differences and 90 percent of people here might not understand this discussion. Mawlana fasted with Turkey, ahead of Indonesia by one day. It was a Thursday and here, Friday, as in some Arab countries also. So if it is Thursday then Laylat al-Qadr is ahead of Indonesia by one day. It was not that it was two days, but there they follow their country and here you follow your country and this is what the Prophet (s) mentioned. You follow the country you are in, so Indonesia cannot follow Turkey and vice versa. That is an answer to the first question and that is enough for the questions the lady asked.

You see? No questions, they are very good students,thank you.

 

Q: I would like to know your view of Islam in Indonesia, as sometimes it is very encouraging to be democratic and how do you view Islam in the Western countries?

A: A`udhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem, bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem. Religion to Allah (swt) is Islam. Since Islam is the religion that Allah revealed to Sayyidina Muhammad (s) I am seeing that it is not going to be now, qad ja al-haq wa zahaq al-batil. Haqq came with Sayyidina Muhammad (s.) Muslims can be down but not Islam. Islam is perfect. Today I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favor upon you and chosen for you Islam as your religion.(5:3) We cannot say except that Islam will be known around the world. For those who want to be Muslim, alhamdulillah. For those who don't, it is up to them. We cannot say Islam will take over. Islam is a religion of the heavens. The Torah was revealed to Musa (as) and it was a religion of heaven. The Bible came with Isa (as), it was a religion of heaven and when Islam came, it is now a religion of heaven. We cannot say people must accept Islam. That is up to them. If they like it they may accept. What is important is to make Islam seen to be moderate not terrorizing. We are stubborn with our ideas. Islam is shown as a religion of suicide bombing which is not accepted by

Allah (swt) Who wants people to live happily and feel happy. That is why He sent the prophets with their religions and He sent a perfect man, Sayyidina Muhammad (s) to the Muslims. It is a message of perfection and a message of heaven. You can go anywhere around the world now and Islam is on the tongue of every human being, which is good for us.

We have to show that Islam is a religion that respects everyone. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of divisions in Islam; though they say there are four schools of thought, add on Jafari and Zaidi... in reality not just 7 schools, an Egyptian scholar found 467 schools. Which school to follow? It is confusing with everyone taking sides. They don't meet in the middle. Each one goes from one way to another. The Prophet (s) indicated that a day would come when the earth would be filled with ignorance. Today we see too much ignorance, not in science but in relations. We have become cruel like animals in a jungle. We ask Allah (swt) to keep this country very peaceful, in the east, west, north or south.

 

Mawlana was very touched by a beautiful poem, recited by a young, orphan girl.

I would like to comment on this. I got the translation of the young, beautiful, girl's reciting and she said:

O Holy Prophet you have been born
from the womb of a woman named Amina
You are the perfect man,
you are God's messenger 

Every man has to commemorate your birth
on 12th rabi ul-awwal, peace and peace and peace

Allah said in Qur'an, alam yajidka yateeman fa awaa

Allah is saying to Muhammad: Ya Muhammad!
I know you were orphan,
your father and mother died but I gave you shelter
I gave you a place to live,
I gave you heaven,
I gave you earth,

I gave you knowledge.
Allah gave the best orphan
the best knowledge
He gave him the night of ascension,
and He gave him,
"Read in the Name of your Lord
Who created mankind from a clot."
Allah gave Sayyidina Muhammad (s) everything.
Ya Muhammad! Your face is like sunshine on earth;
You are the example
of commendable character
You have the jewelled heart.

And she said about herself, listen to what she said to those who don't know Bahasa.

I found myself in the womb
of my mother - alone,
between screams
as I was to be born 

But Divine destiny came quickly
and took my mother away
and took her to heaven

Then my father struggled
against temptation and his illness was so great,
struggling for his life
But daddy and mommy passed away,
now I was born into the world as an orphan,
without a father or mother
I miss my mother's carress
and I miss her face
as she died when I was in her womb
I miss my father's care,
I pray for my father and mother
who died shaheeds
Make people to care for an orphan
as it should be,
make people to care for us and help us
Patience and trust are my clothes.

May Allah (swt) forgive us. It struck my heart when I read this. May Allah (swt) bless and forgive us and give us from His endless mercy oceans.
The Prophet (s) said, "yanqati`u `amaal abnu adam illa min thalaath -- the deeds of Bani Adam are cut except from three elements.: It means that whatever you did in dunya, is finished when you die. You cannot do any `amal in the grave, you cannot pray or fast anymore. If you lost you lost and if you gained you gained. You cannot do any `aamal in the grave. There are only three `aamaal that can assist you, even in the grave. What are they? The Prophet (s) said, sadaqatun jaariya, a flowing donation; if you are a generous person and gave away money or even a brick or block in a masjid or school, orphanage or university. That is something that benefits all people. The benefit that you gave people will be rewarded and reach you in the grave because of the sadaqa you did (earlier) in dunya. The second is, `ilmun yuntafi`u bih, knowledge that you left behind and people benefited from it. You are a writer and wrote about Islam, or chemistry or psychology or physics. Anything of benefit you left behind, the reward of it reaches you in the grave as people benefit from knowledge. Third, waladun saalihun yadu` bihi, a child you raise well and he always reads the Qur'an or gives sadaqa on behalf of the father and mother. The well raised child, gifting rewards to his parents who receive the reward for as much as he is doing in his life.

What I am seeing in this university, mashaa-Allah, is a place of education, and for those who built it brick by brick Allah (swt) is sending a reward to them in their graves and for those who benefit from the knowledge being taught here and then those who are learning the love of Sayyidina Muhammad (s,) these orphans. They are learning it well and are here to remind us. The Prophet (s) didn't have a father and mother and how lucky we are who have fathers and mothers. May Allah (swt) reward Mrs. Hendor, I heard she has 28 schools. May Allah (swt) grant her happiness and us and all here and that is not easy, to run 28 schools

Mawlana addresses problems related to unauthorized publishing in Indonesia:

Last, we have problems, and all have problems. People must be very careful what you put on the name of your shaykh. You might make a mistake and it will harm you a lot and make big problems. These are unforgiven mistakes. You might be sincere, but you are still doing something that is incorrect.

(Mrs. Hendor)
So, you have to be very careful about using the pictures of the Shaykh, the name of the Shaykh or using name of an organization without permission, without knowing what you are doing. Then you jeopardize your Shaykh and your brothers and sisters in tariqah. So no one is authorized to translate books of Malwana Shaykh or myself or my brother as it might create a misunderstanding in translating these very high issues in Islam. They might make a mistake in translating. They can use their own name, then we have no responsibility. They have no right to use our name. I never saw these books and and I authorize someone to collect them and burn them all in order to be sure they are not distributed. The only book that I have authorized is the Encyclopedia of Islamic Doctrine and  Approach of Armageddon, that has been translated. these 5 books we accept and they are checked to be sure they keep the original meanings. Those who did other translations are not accepted. They must learn from this issue, they should take course in Islamic studies to better understand such issues and they can write books in their own names with their own pictures. I would like to end by saying, those who made these books might have good intentions, but unfortunately they don't have deep knowledge of tasawwuf and that is why they made these mistakes.
