(Mawlana Shaykh stands) Laa ilaaha illa-Llah. Laa ilaaha illa-Llah. Laa ilaaha illa-Llah Sayyidina wa Nabiyyina wa Mawlana Muhammadun Rasoolullah. Alfu alfu salaat, alfu alfu salaam `alaa Khaatim al-Anbiyaa'i wa 'l-Mursaleen, yaa Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa ’l-`Akhireen. A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. (Mawlana Shaykh sits)
Thumma salaam `alaa Saahib az-Zamaan. Thumma salaam `alaa Qutb az-Zamaan. Thumma salaamu `alaykum Qutb al-Mutasarrif. Thumma salaamu `alaykum Qutb al-Aqtaab. Salaamullahi `alaykum wa rahmatahu wa ridwaanuh. Allah, Allah.
O our Attenders! As-salaamu `alaykum. How are you today? Happy? Happy! When you are happy, you are mu`ayyideen, happy, and `Eid is the most happy day for Mankind!
Thumma salaam `ala Salafi `ulamas! Say, "Wa `alaykum as-salaam." If you are not replying, something may reach you that makes you unhappy. The holy command from Heavens is, "Who is saying to you 'As-salamu `alaykum,' you must say, 'Wa `alaykum as-salaam,'" that if you are greeted, then greet like it or better.
(Mawlana Shaykh stands) Asta'eedhu billah.
وَإِذَا حُيِّيْتُم بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّواْ بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا أَوْ رُدُّوهَا
Wa idhaa huyyeetum bi-tahiyyatin fa-haayyoo bi-ahsana minhaa aw ruddoohaa
When a (courteous) greeting is offered you, meet it with a greeting still more courteous, or (at least) of equal courtesy.(4:86)
You are `ulamas, and you know ayatul-kareemah. Must be salaam from one to the second one. (Mawlana Shaykh sits) fa-haayyoo bi ahsana minhaa. Yes it is a holy command, because tahiyyah is from the Heavens and if anyone gives you a heavenly greeting, saying, "As-salamu `alaykum," he is giving you a heavenly honor, and you must say, "Same to you also, wa `alaykum as-salaam." More than this, it is much more lovely if you are saying, "As-salaamu `alaykum," and the second one must say, "Wa `alaykum as-salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh." Deen al-Islam, Islamic religion, Islamic honor is the highest level for Mankind and Allah Almighty is asking to grant to His servants more and more and more! You must understand what is Islam and which honor is brought to Mankind! If you do not know about that, your level is the level of animals who are not understanding. Islam is the highest level for servants! Therefore, you must know what you have been granted from heavenly beings, in what they are dressing you of honor from the Heavenly Presence.
Everyone now is asking to dress in a good dressing. That is the desire of everyone, to be granted the best things. The Lord of Heavens is asking to grant to you what is the best for you. Why are you escaping? What is the reason? Because you are saying, "We are following Moses, Jesus Christ, Abraham, Noah, Zakariyya, Sulayman, `alayhimu 's-salaam." They are also just granted heavenly grants to dress people. You are asking every day for new fashions, new pleasures, because you are running to be in much more pleasure. Therefore, prophets, beginning with Adam (a), were granted something and then coming after Adam, peace be upon him and all prophets, he brought people, accepting from him or not. Who was accepting what Adam (a) brought of heavenly dressing and called people, "O People! Come and dress in a heavenly fashion dress." Some people are saying, "Yes, we are very happy to dressing in a heavenly dressing because that dress is giving us a heavenly honor." Some of them are saying, "We are not in need to dress in heavenly dressing."
What is your dress? Ask, Salafi `ulamas, ask those people! They are saying, "We are not interested in what you are bringing; our dressing is okay." Say what was their dressing, make it clear! Their dressing was the dressing of animals. Why are you not saying? Those who are not accepting Islamic dressing and running away, what is their dressing? Say that their dressing is the dressing of animals! Now on this planet there are perhaps more than seven billion people, and how many of them are accepting that honorable dressing that prophets were bringing? You may say 100%, or you may say 99% are preferring the dressing of animals. Don't look for their dressing from cashmere or silk clothes, no; that may be most fashionable clothes, but their dressing is still the dressing of animals!
Dressing honored from the Heavens is only that which is brought by prophets, who were saying, "O People! Come and dress in heavenly dressings honored in the Heavens."
O Salafi `ulamas! Say what the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s) brought! (Mawlana Shaykh stands) What kind was he bringing, cashmere, or dressing from heavenly dressing? (Mawlana Shaykh sits) Why are you not making that clear? Make it clear to your sultans, kings, umaraas (princes), which dressing is giving honor! Ask them to make it clear for their people. They are running after the dressing of animals.
A handful of the Children of Adam accepted what he brought from heavenly dressing, but mostly they were running away, saying, "Our dressing is okay!" Salafi `ulamas! Say what is their dressing, say to your kings, sultans, shaykhs, and umaraas, if what they are dressing is honored or not? Honored dressing is from who is bringing to Mankind, say it! The Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits)
O Salafi `ulamas, O Azhar ash-Shareef `ulamas and doctors of Shari`ah! That is such an important point that you must make clear for people: which clothes are honored clothes that the Seal of Prophets brought to people? (Mawlana Shaykh stands) What Sayyidina Muhammad (s) brought is the most honored clothes, yes. (Mawlana Shaykh sits) If it was so valuable or if it was much more honored clothes, the Seal of Prophets would say, "O People! use the form that you like." But no, the honored uniform for Mankind that prophets brought is the best, coming from the Heavens.
O Muslims! O you who are claiming you are mu`mins! Why are you not using it what the Seal of Prophets (s) brought to Mankind? Animals are very happy with their forms, saying, "We are not in need of another uniform, it is very good." The Seal of Prophets (s) brought a uniform for Mankind, but how many people from one-hundred are keeping that honored form or how many millions or billions of people are accepting the heavenly uniform brought by the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)? (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits) Ask them!
They are only claiming they are "Salafi `ulamas"! You are doctors and not knowing about Islamic uniforms. Everywhere, every state has honored uniforms and people are running to reach such uniforms because they give honor over others. What is the best uniform for Mankind? Say! You are always very angry, because Shaytan is attacking you. Why are you going to be angry on a person, because he is speaking truth? Say what is the heavenly uniform of Mankind and who is bringing that! Our dressing is heavenly and we are not running after new fashion clothes that Shaytan makes. How many from one-hundred people can you find using a heavenly uniform or real Islamic uniforms? Say! You are looking and saying, "This fashion is much more suitable for my rank, my position." You are looking for tailors and fashion designers.
"Please create a new design for me, for our national show. That day I must wear a very rare, new design, and look at myself to see how I will be with that new design."
People are running after designers! All designers and who are accepting them are also Shaytan's "labor party"!
"Don't bring that labor party's dressings, our position is just 100% different. Therefore, if you are making this button, it must be different from common people's fashion; our fashion must be one only for our level people."
O People! Don't waste your valuable time with such foolishness! Our most precious uniform from the Heavens just reached; take it and dress in it! Why are you using trousers, jackets and shirts, for what? That is an Islamic uniform? One day when your eyes and mouth are forced shut, you will know the truth about your useless fashion, and you will cry, "Why were we not using Islamic fashions, Islamic models that came from the Heavens? Why were we not using Islamic uniforms for men and women?"
And ladies are also much more fashionable. "Yes sir, your wife is much more fashionable than you. You are a little bit fashionable, but she is following new fashion clothes, modern clothes, very carefully following new fashions coming in so many magazines." They follow fashion magazines and instruct, "It must be like this, not like that."
"Make it much more like this, to be shown also."
"Yes sir, that is very good fashion, yes."
That is Islamic fashion or uniform? I am asking women and men, Muslims. What did the Seal of Prophets bring of heavenly uniform for Muslims? Look, I am asking Salafi `ulamas to make a kind of awakening for you and for all people. There is a hadeeth of Rasoolullah (s). (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem.
العمائم تيجان العرب، فإذا وضعوا العمائم وضعوا عزهم.
bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem al-ama'im tijaan al-`arab. man wada`ooha wada`Allahu `izzahum.
Turbans are the crowns of the Arabs (i.e. Muslims). Whoever took them off, Allah lowered their honor. (ad-Daylami in Musnad al-Firdaws)
And:
Al-amaa'imu tijaanu 'l-`Arab, man a`azzahu a`azzahullah wa man ahaanahu ahaahanhullah.
The turbans are crowns of Muslims, of Arabs. Whoever honors it Allah honors, and whoever dishonors it Allah will dishonor.
Yes, if you are not knowing, look at hadith books. This is from Islamic fashion and the Seal of Prophets distinguished Arabs, "O Arabs! Allah Almighty is making turbans as crowns for you from heavenly fashions. If you are leaving it and putting it down, then Allah Almighty is taking glory from you."
I am sorry to see in Meccatu 'l-Mukarrama and Madinatu 'l-Munawwara those soldiers put hats on their heads. Why? It is not heavenly fashion, but they are putting it and Allah Almighty is making their honor down, down, down.
O People! Use Islamic uniforms for men, women, and children, young and old ones, so that you will be supported by heavenly powers that no one may assault on you from nuclear weapons, nothing will touch you.
O People! Come and listen! That is an important speech to make people understand Islam and the Islamic uniform. That is new, perhaps all Muslims never heard about it, that there is an Islamic uniform. If you do not know about Islamic uniforms, what do you know about Islam? Don't follow non-Muslims' steps, but use qadami sidq and follow the steps of the Seal of Prophets (s) and you will be happy and honored here and Hereafter.
May Allah forgive us, for the honor of the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits)
Fatihah.

As-salaamu `alaykum! Allah, Allah, Subhaan Allah.
