Man Is a Hidden Treasure

Sultan al-Awliya

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani

22 November 2009 Lefke, Cyprus

(Mawlana Shaykh stands.)

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem. La hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi ‘l-`Aliyyu ‘l-`Azheem! Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha illa-Llah w’Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar wa lillahi ‘l-hamd!

O our Lord, forgive us and for the honor of your most honored one through your Divine Presence, give us from Your endless Mercy Oceans. May be smaller than an atom from Your Mercy Oceans, changing everything! O our Lord, Your generosity no one can give any description on it; it is impossible! Forgive us and bless us for the honor of most honored one through your Divine Presence, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! Allahumma zidhu `izzan wa sharafan wa nooran wa masrooran wa ridwaanan wa sultaana, Allah increase him in respect and honor and light and happiness and divine blessing and majesty. Give to him more, Sultan, to be his sultanate from pre-Eternal up to Eternal on whole Creation! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

Yaa Rabbee, Yaa Rabbee, Yaa Rabbee... we are weak servants! We are saying Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah wa shukrulillah endlessly. Thanks for our Lord who created us and granted us endless favors. It is impossible to know the numbers of His Favor Oceans and where they are beginning and ending, because everything that belongs to our Lord, Almighty Allah, must also be endless. Allah Almighty’s grants are supporting endlessly. O our master on this planet, we are asking your support humbly; we are asking only the smallest thing from an ocean. It may be an atom or electrons or neutrons, it may be that we are knowing that they are the smallest ones in creation.

We are asking only such a small, heavenly support to be able to sit and to listen to such knowledge that belongs to heavens. That support is only coming through the master of this planet. If no master, this planet can't be moving and can't know its direction and can't know what is it's mission. Just as a car, if no driver... car knows your intention or your direction? No, there must be a driver sending that car on its real direction. This world is also directed by it's Master; that is important. Therefore, believers who are believing everything in existence, must try to understand the real position of the Master. I am only saying really real position to make an understanding for people, because no one knows the real direction, it is impossible. How can we know, but the Master knows. As much as he has been ordered to move in any direction, right or left, front, not back, not down, but up.

O my listeners, they are saying such things; we may say on it in a hundred or a thousand lectures or speeches and it will not be enough to give a real position of the Master of this world. He is commanding and directing it. Nothing in existence is left without a coordinator. Yes? Sometimes I know English! How it happened? (laughter) Yes. Tonight we are also asking from our Master what is necessary for the Children of Adam. They must know from the beginning, then they may improve, improve, improve. They are going to begin marching from Earth towards skies! Who is moving up from the Earth is going to forget its beginning because he is always looking up. Looking and asking about that creation that is touching them and passing up, rising up. That is important.

We are not created to be on this planet for a short time and then to be buried through the graveyard. No, it is not real wisdom or the real will of our Lord for ourselves. No one knows His Will about you, about that. No one is knowing his Creator's Will about himself or herself. Even that planet that we have been settled on is not knowing, no. Who is commanding this? He is also not knowing until a higher-position one, another master, is showing or giving him a signal. People are thinking that this world and the life of Mankind on it are so simple: born, living, dying, passing and finishing. That is the mentality that a no-mind person... you may say, "O Doctors, if you can ask an ant... Do you think that you can address an ant and speak to an ant? If you are saying, 'No,' your level is yet under the level of ants!"

The Holy Qur'an is making everything clear. Everything! Look, there is holy surah in the Holy Qur'an, Suratu 'n-Naml, the Chapter of the Ants. Look and try to understand. How are you understanding? If you are living in a dark place, you can't see anything. You can't read, you can't look and you can't understand. Therefore, you are in need of an opening, a heavenly opening through your eyes and your eyes belong to your heart. If the heart is not opening, your eyes are seeing nothing. Looking and seeing (nothing). Even ants are seeing; they are looking according to their possibility or according to their capacity. Yes, there is a surah, holy verse, Suratu 'n-Naml. We are saying that everything has an understanding; it must understand something. May be that something according its capacity, that is an opening according to its ability and according to a possibility that that creature is just granted. One ant was shouting through the valley. If ant is shouting, how you are understanding what he is saying?

حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَوْا عَلَى وَادِي النَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّمْلُ ادْخُلُوا مَسَاكِنَكُمْ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمَانُ وَجُنُودُهُ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Hatta idha ataw `ala wadi annamli qaalat namlatun yaa ayyuha an-naml udkhulu masaakinakum laa yahtimannakum sulaymaanu wa junooduhu wa hum laa yash`uroon.

Till, when they reached the Valley of the Ants, an ant exclaimed: O ants! Enter your dwellings lest Solomon and his armies crush you, unperceiving. (27:18)

"Oh Ants! Quickly run to your holes, try to shelter yourselves from Solomons armies' feet not touching to you and harming you!" This is an ant! It knows something. It must know something. If that ant is knowing such a thing, what about it's Creator? Do you think that that ant is not knowing Who created it? O our `ulama, Salafi `ulama, they are very jealous people, yes.Why jealous? Allah grants anyone and everyone as He likes.

Other ants are not understanding from that secret addressing. That ant's announcement reaching from the beginning of this valley up to end. And you, our technologist people, are so proud with their talkie-walkie. Talkie-walkie, they are saying. When I was small one, I was hearing that there is some kind of wireless talkie-walkie, walking and talking or talking and walking. Eh, professors of Wahabi people, you know such things? No, you never learning such things. You are learning only to say, salaat wa 's-salaam, bid`a or haraam. Or, if you are stepping on left leg it is kufr; if you are stepping right hand, saying this is bid`a; if you are asking to go forwards, saying that is kufr. If you are standing and coming back you are saying haraam. Their knowledge, such a thing.

Look at the Holy Qu'ran for understanding. Who on Earth may now speak such a secret knowledge from east to west? I am nothing but they are making me to speak. And this mentality just not accepting any objection because who can do an objection, must be his knowledge over my knowledge and I am no-level one. I am no-level one through knowledge; know nothing. I am knowing nothing. But countless people have been granted so many secrets that no one can approach them. If approaching and coming nearer, they are not understanding, just like a small boy. English, American, Turkish or any other nation; when they are looking through books, they are not understanding. Among billions of people there are some whose knowledge is secret knowledge. Secret for common people but not for them. Who may step up, they have been granted on every step another vision. Another appearance is coming to them.

O People, Man through holy hadith. Perhaps if I am saying so many people, so many Wahabi or Salafi may say this is kufr, but it is mentioned through holy books that Allah Almighty created Adam (a). Not any similarity, but like himself. That means as He likes to grant from Divine Attributes to Man, but shatta maa baynahuma, (how different they are). So, so, so long a distance; no beginning and no ending to be a man as his Creator! But Allah almighty granted to them from his Divine attributes to see, speak, hear, smell, know and to move. Something was granted as grants from the Lord of Heavens; from his heavenly attributes. Something means, in front of whole thing something means nothing. But this is a very deep subject. Allah Almighty only asked to bring a description for his deputy and the deputy must have something from Divine or Heavenly attributes. If they are not granted they can't be deputies. We may say, if you are doing and a donkey your deputy, is there any relationship? How it can be? This is a donkey and you are a man. It can't be. If Allah Almighty making khalifah, deputy must have or must be granted from heavenly attributes. To be deputies and deputies only through words, through letters, nothing else. No one can know real reality. Man is going to be a deputy, but imitated.

We have such a chance from the Lord of Heavens. If we are following a way and asking to come more close to the Lord of Heavens, we are going to be granted something. That something, if it is going to be such an ocean, is always going to be something. It can't be everything; unlimited being. Unlimited Dhaat (essence) Existence is only for Him and not for anyone else. It can't be! But Allah Almighty is asking to bring a new Creation. New for creatures that have been created before; but their creation when Allah Almighty asking; His Divinely will saying, "I am going to create a new creature that he may be My deputy," and maraatibu 'l-khilaafah, the levels of being a deputy are countless! You can't know it's beginning, you can't know it's ending.

O People, sharpen your understanding. Renew your knowledge and also try to make your understanding a high level of understanding for such a secret, secret beings or secret positions. Therefore it has been said, Hadrati insaan. Hadrat, what does it mean? Hadrati Allah, Hadrati Rasool, Hadrati insaan. That is an honor that is granted from heavens; you can't say for anyone "you are hadrat." That honor is only coming from the heavens, to be said Hadrat. Our level of deputy and real respect is from our real being. Real being can't be known from pre-Eternal up to Eternal. This is an ocean; not only one ocean, but countless oceans.

O People! Whoever may give his hearing to hear such things and accepting, has been rewarded. Every step that you are stepping you are going to be granted from that endless ocean that belongs to deputies. Insaan, Man is a closed treasure. The Lord of Heavens is saying:

كنت كنزا مخفيا فأردت أن أعرف فخلقت الخلق فبه عرفوني

kuntu kanzan makhfiyyan fa aradtu an aa`uraf fa-khalaqta 'l-khalq fa bihi `arafoonee

I was a hidden treasure (I wanted to be known, so I created creation, and by it they knew Me.)

No one can open it. Man as a deputy is also kanz, a treasure. His key is only through the hands of the Lord of whole-creating. If He is not opening, no understanding. Who is man and what is his mission? What is his reality? What is he carrying? Because Allah Almighty granted to him from His heavenly attributes. Others are not given that, only Man, because he is a deputy and every deputy is a hidden treasure. If Allah Almighty is opening, it may open and may be known.

But Allah Almighty is saying, "I am, ana kanzan makhfiyan, a Hidden Treasure." No one knows, it is impossible. He is One, but he granted to Mankind as they are deputies; also making his deputies, everyone, an unknown treasure only known by their Lord. They can't even be able to know themselves; their beings from beginning up to end.

May Allah forgive us.

Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahi 'l-hamd!

When deputies are rising up closer to their real being, coming closer to their treasures just granted to them. That is `Eid al-Akbar, the biggest happiness and the biggest honor! Just a parade for that person of heavenly honor! Then they are moving one step up, honoring, honoring, honoring. Man, unknown one, accepts his Creator, Allah Almighty (swt). Shukran laka, Allah Allah.

You should hear that singing of angels, that glorifying. When he is arising from one level to another:

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

latarkabunna tabaqan `an tabaq,

You shall surely travel from stage to stage. (84:19)

Only the Qur'an saying. O Salafi `ulama, try to learn the meaning of that. It is an addressing to the Prophet (s) and another qura`a reciting, saying, tarkabunna tabaqan `an tabaq. "All of you! O My beloved one, you are going from one level to another, as well as your nation, from one level to another and through af `al, words singing, dawaam. Continuously."

Fatihah.
