The Holy Night Laylat al-Ragha’ib

Sultan al-Awliya

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani

3 June 2011 Lefke, Cyprus

(Mawlana Shaykh stands, all sing) Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, laa ilaaha illa-Llah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahi 'l-hamd! Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, laa ilaaha illa-Llah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahi 'l-hamd!

Yaa Rabbee, yaa Allah salli `ala habeebika Sayyid al-Awaleen wa ’l-Akhireen fee mithli hadha ‘l-yawmu ’sh-shareef, sharifnaa yaa Rabbee bi sharafi ’l-Mustafa, sharaf Ummatahu fi ’d-‘darayni yaa Allah, yaa Mu`een al-`ajizeen ayyidnaa yaa Rabbanaa, Allah `adaa’ika zaahiran wa baatinan fa wa ‘l-mawatanaa yaa Rabbanaa, yaa Rabbee ista`milnaa bi-ta`atika, yaa Akram al-akrameen, yaa Arhamaa ‘r-rahimeen. Fatihah. (Mawlana Shaykh sits)

As-salaamu `alaykum. Awwal al-`amal as-salaatu wa ’s-salaam `ala Sayyidi’l-Akhireen wa ’l-Awaleen, fee yawmin sharafahullah jalla wa `alaa fee laylati ‘l-awwal min Rajab al-murajjab, wa samahoo Rajab: Rajabun shahruLlah. The first of deeds is to send salaat was-salaam upon the Lord of the First and Last, on this noble day of Allah, on the first night of Rajab al-murajjab, and He named it Rajab, where Rajab is the month of Allah.

O People! O Attenders! Isma`oo, give your ears for listening and understanding. Dastoor, yaa Rijaalullah. Madad yaa awliyaaullah, madad yaa Rijaali ‘l-Malakoot,amidoona bi madadikum nahnoo `ibaad d`u`afa `ibaadullah. Huwa al-Qawiyy wa nahnoo da`eef. Huwa Rabbunaa! He is our Creator, Allah! (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Subhaan sen, Sultaan sen, yaa Rabb! You are our Creator, from pre-Eternal up to Eternal. (Mawlana Shaykh sits)

It is a holy day and we must give high respect for this holy month, Rajab. Try to give as much as possible your highest respect. We are just reaching the first night of Rajab, the first Friday night, and it is narrated that the holy light from Malakoot, Heavens, just reached from his father (r) to his holy mum, Aminah (r). (In this holy night) Heavens and Earth are covered with heavenly lights and everyone is dressed in a grand uniform in which angels were never dressed before as Allah Almighty never makes a copy, no! Last year was different and this year is according to the heavenly appearance. Everyone in Heavens is dressed in a holy dressing of Heavens. When I say “holy” it is nothing compared to the holiness of Heavens! They are just dressed, Huuu. “Oh, what is happening?” they ask.

It is the night of the holy soul of the Seal of all Creation (s), when the mother of the Seal of Prophets (r) took his holy trust. That is too much, the biggest grant from Heavens! It reached his mother and all Heavens were decorated with a dressing of honor. Every year it repeats, and every year comes another dressing from Heavens for heavenly people. The souls of those from the Children of Adam on Earth who reach that holy night are also dressed.

Therefore, all heavenly people and all beloved ones, through the Beloved One (s), have each been granted something different, each is different. Not all the same like soldiers dressed in uniforms. No, it is not a uniform; that heavenly dress is for every year, for celebration of the Seal of Prophet's (s) holy spirit. That which reaches the Earth is like an atom. Can't carry, all of Creation can't carry it. No one knows the real being of the Seal of Prophets (s) except his Lord, Allah Almighty. It is so big, azaamatli, a glorified light! But now people are asleep; they are drunk ones.

O our Lord! Save our real beings from being drunk (involved) with this nonsense, as really we have been created for some glorified being that has not yet reached us. Had it reached, this world could not carry it!

That celebration is in Heavens. One spot comes on Earth, where they are dressed also with that dharrah, an atom. Everyone that night will run to perform sajda, because they can’t carry that Heavenly Lights Ocean; not even one atom can they carry of that glorified ocean! One spot they can’t carry in this world; it disappears. One spot may take that entire world, even billions of them, and swallow them, taking their heavenly honors.

O our Lord! O our Lord! They never understand. They call on You, asking from You to know about that heavenly one who represents You for all Eternity (s), because no one can carry the Real Being of Allah Almighty, it is impossible, just as you can't look at the sun with the naked eye (as it will burn). Subhaan man dawaraka, subhaan man sawwarik, subhaana man nawwarik thumma idha shaa kawwarak, Yaa Allah! Glory be to the One who brought you around in your turn; Glory be to He who gave you resplendent light; Glory be to He who when He willed, made you a sphere, O Allah!

That is nothing in front of what Allah Almighty is dressing His servants on Earth and in Heavens, and through unknown oceans of His Divine Dominions!

O People! We are wasting our short lives with nonsense. Whatever you are collecting you are living. We may collect like Qaroon (Croesus), but when he died this Earth swallowed his imitated being endlessly! May Allah forgive us.

O People! Don't run after this dunya as it and its treasures are kicked down (worthless) by the holy ones appointed on this planet to arrange everything for the Children of Adam. People are running to schools, high schools, universities, and academies, and then (their education is) finished; they only reach the levels of preliminary, secondary, college, university, and academy teaching. After five levels what is there? It stops after five or six levels of knowledge.

No one knows; numbers are finishing from one up to six. (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Allah (swt) is saying... they did not give Allah His due Power and Greatness! (Mawlana Shaykh sits) It is impossible, impossible, impossible to know, as we are on the lowest level of Allah Almighty's Glory and Being! Why are you wasting time on this dunya? We think we are created for dunya, and night and day we run after it, but for what?

O Human Beings! What are heaps of gold or jewels giving you? O drunken Mankind! All of us are running after dunya, but for what? Day by day we are approaching the door by which we are getting out (death). No one is staying (here on Earth); they leave, and the angels say, "Prepare yourselves for when you will get out." That last station approaches and will take you from this life to unknown worlds, unknown continents, unknown territories. What are you doing (to prepare)? Why are you fighting? You are fighting for titles that you give each other, but there is no value in that. Why are you fighting, killing, and giving trouble to each other?

O People! (Follow) Shari`atullah, the holy divine rules, as His judgment will collect all of you no-mind people will be put in a mental house! All of you are living for your imaginations, because no one knows what will happen after one hour, one week, or one year. They live in their imaginations, dreaming. We are dreaming, and not like this (with eyes closed), but we are wide-eyed! And they are asking to run on (what they imagine).

O People! Through East and West, use your minds and your powers for something that is going to be forever, not for imaginings. Leave your imaginations. Don't quarrel, don't fight, but try to be servants. Try to keep your oath to your Creator, the Lord of Heavens. Try as much as possible to keep it, and to give your highest efforts to understand from what you have been created. Why are you using (violence)? For what crisis? Ardullaahi wasi`a, “Allah's Earth is spacious.” The whole world is so big for all of you; for what are you quarreling and fighting? Even animals are not fighting; they do not say, "This is only for me, not for you." Also, the Children of Adam have been granted an understanding, a heavenly grant that has not been given to anyone else.

O People! Come to an understanding within yourself or you may be taken from this world, which will be so empty, and no one will be left to say, "I have this, I have that." No! Everyone can live from your Creator, Who never created Man in a narrow place! (But instead you amass) a supply, but you will never become happy to collect everything on Earth! I may give to him the authority to collect (amass) all WCs. I give that power to them; go and collect that! Do you understand? Say to Qadafi (in Libya), to Mubarak (in Egypt), to Bashar (in Syria), say to Iran, to Turks, “If you are not happy with the toilets you collect, I give them to you for free, so go and collect them!”

That is kalimat al-haqq, the true word. No one can reject it, not from east to west, from all `ulama, not even Christian or Jewish `ulama! No one can object! From east to west I am giving to them free, clean.

O People! Use your minds; we must think on it. They are making me speak in a most simple way, although they are able to make me to speak on the highest level of every language, but it is not necessary. If people are asking to be collectors of WCs, why should we speak at the highest level of Arabic, English, or Turkish?

Some say, "I am going without license and I may go everywhere. My donkey is for me. My donkey is happy everywhere and he is never claiming, 'This is for me.' The donkey eats and defecates on itself, it will even defecate on its rider. If kings ride it, the donkey says, "I am more than you. This is for me. Everywhere I may go and no one ask me about my title!" For donkeys there are no titles. He is very happy, as everywhere he goes he eats freely, with no responsibility!

Now people will be at the level of animals, saying, "We haven't any responsibility." Must you put a tail to learn you have a responsibility for your brothers? May Allah forgive us! Yaa Rabbee, yaa Rabbee, yaa Allah! Forgive us and send us someone who may direct us and send us to our targets, to make our Lord happy with us. When our Lord is happy with us all of you will be happy, and when you are not making your Lord happy, nothing will give you happiness. Then eating, drinking, dancing, everything will come from your ego, but you will not be happy because our Lord Almighty gives us enjoyment; nothing else can give it to us. You must understand, because people are running from east to west but no one is happy. Make your Lord happy with you, then He will grant you a sweet, happy life. Otherwise, your life is going to be poisoned.

People are taking medicines to cut off their troubles, because their lives are dirty. (This address) is an ocean, from which you may benefit from this week to next year, but you must understand. You may write commentary on it to fill a hundred or a thousand books, and still it won't matter. I know nothing. May the Lord give us happy lives, for the sake of the Seal of Prophets (s). (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits)

Fatihah.

Is a person who goes to the WC forty times daily a happy one or a clean one? Use your minds, O People!

(Baya`)

Fatihah.
