Dastoor yaa Rabbee, madad! (Mawlana Shaykh stands) La ilaaha illa-Llah, La ilaaha illa-Llah, La ilaaha illa-Llah Muhammadun Rasoolullah, alayhi 's-salaatu wa 's-salaam. Madad yaa Saahib al-Imdaad, madad yaa RijaalAllah, fee mithliha haadha ash-shahru shareef, shahru Shaban al-Mu`azzam zidhu yaa Rabbee. Ta`zeeman wa takreeman, zid habeebika fee haadha ash-shahru mubarak. Shaban al-Mua’zzam belongs to the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). (Mawlana Shaykh sits)
Thumma 's-salaamu ‘alayk yaa Saahib al-Imdaad, yaa Qutb al-Mutasarrif, yaa Saahib az-Zamaan. Amiddanaa yaa rijaali 'l-imdaad. Abidoona bi madadi malakoot fee mithla haadha shahru shareef Shaban al-Mua’zzam. And we are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. We are running from the worst creature that is trying to make Mankind disobedient to their Lord, their Creator. And we are saying, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem.” (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) May the heavenly sword be on the neck of Shaytan and its followers! (Mawlana Shaykh sits)
O our Attenders! As-salaamu `alaykum.It would be a great pleasure for Mankind to be attenders for such a heavenly declaration that all heavenly ones have been sent to make people in pleasure, by countless good tidings from Heavens. I am sorry that people are never interested in their ruhaaniyya, spiritual pleasure. Now in our days, people are followers of the worst one in Creation, running like rivers after the worst creature, Shaytan. Allah! We will be happy if all of us become followers of pleasures, giving good tidings to all nations, but everyone is occupied by that worst one.
O our Attenders! Try to attend daily, even for one quarter-hour or half-an-hour, to take good tidings from heavenly ones; you should be happy and in pleasure. Try to be attenders for holy declarations coming through Heavens, reaching to you. O people! We are here today, but we don't know if tomorrow we are going to be on earth or under earth. What if there is no hope for you, or that you are not given a grant to live for 90 years or more, or perhaps you should be ma'zur, handicapped. But no one knows if their being is going to be for tomorrow. Why are you running after the material world? Why are you running to be in pleasure with material aspects? Why is Mankind not thinking about it? This is an important question. We do not know if we will be living on this planet tomorrow. Perhaps you will say, "Up to tomorrow, I shall enjoy myself," but no one can give you a guarantee for your life from material aspects. Don't be cheated by insurance companies saying, “We are guarantors for your life, for everything that may come.” What is that foolishness? But people are drunk, beginning from kings, down to every level of Mankind. They are not acknowledging they have been given that heavenly grant!
O our Salaaf as-Salih `ulamas! When I am saying, “Once upon a time, in the time of Bani Isra`eel, the time of Jesus Christ (a)...” Now new-fashion doctors, new-fashion Salafi `ulamas, and no-mind Wahhabi wolves, if a person may speak of a story from the past, they say, "Don't speak of it! That is Isra`eeliyaat (stories of prophets related by Jewish scholars).” What is Isra`eeliyaat? Do you know anything about Isra`eeliyaat? O those drunk ones! Don't you ever recite Holy Qur'an? You never understand that from the beginning up to the end, Holy Qur'an gives ahkbaarul qawm halmin madoo (news of the past nations). Don't you know that Holy Qur'an gives stories about past nations, particularly about Bani Isra`eel? Anyone who denies something that belongs to Bani Isra`eel, it is as if they are shooting on the holy verses of Holy Qur'an. But new-fashion doctors of Shari'ah, new fashion Salaaf us-Salih ‘ulama, and new-fashion, no-mind Wahhabi wolves and their founders and headmasters, are always objecting. If anyone is asking to say something from the time of Bani Isra`eel, they say, “Don’t! Leave that Banu Isra`eel.” How can it be? They are saying, “Qur'an al-Kareem is only for high-level people to understand. We are not accepting the stories of Children of Isra`eel.” Astaghfirullah. Why? Whoever is saying that is going to be kaafir (unbeliever)!
Why are you not saying, Salaafu s-Salih `ulamas? Every time you address people, why are you not bringing a historic story from the time of Children of Isra`eel? You are so proud ones, saying, “We are not a class of story-telling people, we are all `ulamas.” And what you are saying no one is understanding. If I am saying one story, people are understanding and they may take the right way. But you are mixed with shaytanic ideas, not to accept anything from the time of Bani Isra`eel. Why? You must say! You cannot make Holy Qur'an into two parts, that in one part you can address people, teaching, and from the second part say, “No, that is no good.” Holy Qur'an is full with stories of past nations! Say, O Salafi `ulamas! How many prophets have been sent? Say! “Twenty-eight prophets, beginning from Adam (a), and ending with the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)." (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits) Yes, it is okay. But do you think that no other prophets have been sent? Say to me! I am examining you, your knowledge and your limits. The names of twenty-eight prophets have been mentioned, but as Allah Almighty (swt) says: (Mawlana Shaykh stands)
مِنْهُم مَّن قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُم مَّن لَّمْ نَقْصُصْ عَلَيْكَ
minhum man qasasna `alayk wa minhum man lam naqsus `alayk.
Of them are those whom We told their stories to you, and among them are those whom We did not relate their stories to you. (40:78)
What do you think? Minhum man qasasna `alaykum. Why are you not saying to people qassasnahum, their life stories? Another question to Salafi ‘ulamas, what about the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)? (Mawlana Shaykh stands) What do you think, that the Seal of Prophets (s) was knowing or not knowing? (Mawlana Shaykh sits) And heavenly addressing is coming directly to the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidi 'r-Rasool kiraam. Yes, minhum man qasasna `alayk is an ocean. Allah Almighty is saying, minhum man qasasna `alayk, “No one knows their numbers, but We sent prophets and messengers, some of them with their nations. We said about Musa (a), qasasna. We mentioned and We are teaching you about those stories for how many prophets and how many nations, how many ummahs passed away."
Do you know? You are reciting Qur'an only like this (motions running finger under words while reading), like small boys. No!
وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُوْلُوا الْأَلْبَابِ
wa li yatadhakkar ulu'l al-baab.
And that men of understanding may reflect. (38:29)
Allah (swt) is saying, “We are sending the Holy Qur'an for reflecting on it.” What is your opinion on those prophets whom their news had been sent to the Seal of Prophets (s)? Some shaytanic people are saying, “We are not accepting except Holy Qur'an and hadeeth.” A`oodhu billah, a`oodhu billah! They are going to be fully graduated by Shaytan! Now there are so many shaytanic agencies for destroying the beliefs of Ahlu’l-Sunnah wa’l-Jama`ah. Yes, say, as you are ‘ulamas! Allah Almighty is saying to the Seal of Prophets (s), His most beloved one, Khaatam an-Nabiyyeen, Minhum man qasasna `alayk. This khitaab is not for you. It is for Allah Almighty's most beloved one in His Divine Presence and His eternal deputy, from pre-Eternal up to Eternal, Sayyid ar-Rasool, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Allah Almighty is not speaking to anyone. No! Even Jibril (a) can't take directly from Allah Almighty; there must be a mediator. (Mawlana Shaykh sits) SubhaanAllah, SubhaanAllah. You are never happy to be said about ummatu 's-saalifah,, past nations. Allah Almighty only granted to Sayyid ar-Rasool Kiraam (s), from prophets, to know their numbers. And He said to His most beloved one that Creation is created for his honor. "O My beloved one, glorified one in My Divinely Presence, I am giving you knowledge about the past time of anbiyas (prophets)." Wa minhum man lam naqsus `alayk, "From them are those whose stories we didn’t relate to you.”
O Salafi ‘ulamas! What is that? Why is Allah Almighty saying, wa minhum man lam naqsus `alayk? What is the maqsaadun aslee, main purpose? Why is Allah Almighty saying to the Seal of Prophets (s), wa minhum man lam naqsus `alayk? What is your opinion? You are not thinking about it. You cannot open these treasures because you are very proud ones, and for proud ones a heavenly opening never comes. Min hum man qasasna `alayk, “O My Beloved one, We granted you the news of past-time prophets and their knowledge, their happenings, their lives.You may say, minhum man qasasna `alayk." Why? Because Allah Almighty khassas, specialized those prophets to be only for Him, and all of those prophets whose names have not been mentioned belong to the Seal of Prophets (s) only, because his prophecy or messengerhood has no limits.
“Some of them,” the Lord of Heavens is saying to him, “are only for this planet and for these people. They are just a handful of people. There is no need to mention others. We are keeping that for you also because you are in charge of this whole Creation. You may also give what it is not for your ummah on this planet; but your ummah belongs to you. And for your honor We created countless and countless! Therefore, wa minhum man lam naqsus `alayk, 'Among them are those whom We did not relate their stories to you,' because there is no need for them on this planet. But the universe I created is for your honor, and no one knows their numbers, their situations, their lives, except Me. That is for this ummah on this planet. But there are countless other Creations through My dominions and you are also teaching them.”
People think that it is such a simple thing to be a prophet, or to be in charge of prophecy on this planet. And they think that it is so easy to live on it for a thousand years and then finishing. Therefore, now the time is over because the Day of Resurrection is just on our doors. And some realities also must be granted to the Seal of Prophets (s) and will be sent to all people now from east to west, from north to south, that they have never heard or thought about, to open their abilities and capacity to understand something for their Lord when Judgment Day is coming.
O People! My Arabic language is so bad, but if you are hearing, you may understand something. Our point, maqsad, is to give every greatness, every glory, every majesty to our Lord, to make you understand something. I was looking yesterday on an encyclopedia written about the galaxy of Andromeda. 200 years ago or more, people were seeing that Andromeda galaxy has a very small light and they were thinking it belongs to our galaxy at a far distance, and that it is one star. But after a while, Allah Almighty gave someone an authority on a telescope invented 150 years ago, to make them understand about His Creation. The astronomer looked at that star through the Milky Way, so small, thinking it belongs to the Milky Way. Sometimes it may close, sometimes it may open, because it was terrible for that light to reach directly to our eyes. They thought it was near our galaxy. That astronomer discovered that it was not belonging to our galaxy, but it was so far away, as they were saying, 12 million light years away. And it is so gigantic! They never expected it, but that opening came to teach people Who created them. And daily they are doing something with their knowledge about our galaxy and getting around it in such a way that you can't imagine.
Now, here we are, saying something about our Lord's endless, endless Creation, not the Milky Way only, but endless realities to teach people that our Lord has endless Power Oceans. You must understand that it is a preparation before the Day of Judgment comes. This is a small opening. Therefore, our attenders, professors or astronomers, or Salaaf us-Salih, or mashaykh Azhar ash-Shareef, don't be angry with me. But you must try to take something from the adhaamati Rabbil `Alameen, Allah (swt)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands) He is Sultan! He is Creator! The Last Day is approaching and therefore, we are here to say something. (Mawlana Shaykh sits) May Allah forgive us.
O People! Try to learn something. May our Lord forgive us. O our Lord! For the honor of Your most beloved, most honored, most glorified one’s honor, forgive us and give us a new understanding of religions. They are saying "interfaith", but they are not speaking such things; they are speaking something that even ants are not understanding! Even small ants are never interested in interfaith speeches or their bayaan, declarations. Therefore, you must not be angry with me. You must say, "There must be something special for this age that only the Creator knows and who He is asking to know about such things." Come and say, (Mawlana Shaykh stands) "La ilaaha illa-Llah Muhammadun Rasoolullah ahyina mu'mineen, amitna mu'mina wahshur mu'mineen, yaa Rabb!" (Mawlana Shaykh sits)
Wa bayyid wujoohuna yaa Rabb, yaa Rabb. Bi-jaahi man anzalta `alayhi Surat al-Fatihah. "Revive us as believers and make us die as believers and resurrect us as believers, for the sake of the one on whom you revealed Surat al-Fatihah."
