The holy command of The Lord of Heavens is, “Leave Shaytan and come to Me!” And we are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem. That means we are leaving Shaytan and saying, "O our Lord! Keep Shaytan away." And we are saying (Mawlana Shaykh stands), Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem. (Mawlana Shaykh sits).
O our Attenders! Welcome to you! If you are attending you are gaining, and if you are not attending you are losing. Whoever wants to reach heavenly treasures, come and ask! If you are not interested in heavenly treasures, it may be that you are going to die and become fertilizer. Not just one, but there must be billions who must hear, must listen, and must obey! If you are saying you are servants, then you must hear the heavenly news, and you must listen and try to take a share from that heavenly address. Come and obey! We must obey and we must try to be obedient servants. You can't find any better honor for yourself than to be an obedient servant. When the Lord of Heavens is happy with you, He is dressing that honored dressing upon you. Expensive dresses are for dunya people, whose aim is only dunya. When you pass away they take these dresses, put a white cloth and say, "Enough, more than enough!"
O our Attenders! Are you understanding? If you are not understanding, something from heavenly warnings may reach you. You may wake up with pains in your stomach, your head, in your lower or upper sides, if you are not understanding. They are coming to you, and you wake up and shout, "Where are the tablets to stop this pain?" Useless! If there is no order from heavenly ones to give you a benefit, then even if you are taking a handful of tablets it is impossible to stop that pain!
O People! Use your minds. They are not making me to sit here to make a theater (performance) for you, no! We are sitting here for understanding, and to follow what we are understanding. So many times they are making such a weak servant to wake you up. Wake up!
O Salafi `ulamas! You are giving yourselves a special title that is not true. You must try to wake people up; that is your mission, nothing else! This is a holy order from the Lord of Heavens, "O My prophets! Make My servants wake up. Give them such advice that they will wake up before pains come to them, waking them!" There are two kinds of waking up. One kind of waking up is for your heavenly servanthood and the second kind of waking up comes to people when they are waking up with heavy pains, with such bad conditions for themselves or their families, their children, and they are not going to taste any good taste. When they are sleeping, they are awakened, as some reason is giving trouble to you.
O People, try to wake up for your servanthood; nothing is more important, without exception! If you do what is obligatory for you, then you may put your head down to sleep, and the angels will say, "Sleep well." Angels are waiting for you, keeping Shaytan away from touching you. they say, "Sleep happily, sleep with enjoyment, sleep with pleasure." Up to the time of heavenly service, to midnight and after it, leaving you to sleep so smoothly, as small babies are sleeping, but only if you hear and obey!
O Salafi `ulamas! Teach people how they must sleep. They answer, "We are `ulamas, so important! W do not occupy ourselves with how Mankind sleeps!" How? (Mawlana Shaykh stands) The Seal of Prophets (s) said, Ad-deenu naseeha, "Religion is advice." (Mawlana Shaykh sits) Naseeha, advice, is for the benefit of Mankind. O Salafi `ulamas! You must say how they should sleep: silently, happily, and in satisfaction? Why are you not saying? "No, we are saying ahadeeth ash-shareefah, so many of them coming from books, one after the other. But we are not doing this everyday." No! Wa dhakkir, and remind them! This means you must at every moment try to wake servants up, to keep them from falling into wells of troubles.
O People! As-salaamu 'alaykum. Don't be angry; what is being said is first for me and then for you! Say, Salafi `ulamas, how was the life of the Seal of Prophets (s) and what is Allah Almighty saying? (Mawlana Shaykh stands)
لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَة ٌ لِمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرا ً
laqad kaana lakum fee rasoolullahi uswatun hasanatun liman kaana yarjoo allaha wa 'l-yawma 'l-'akhira wa dhakara allaha katheera.
Indeed in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example, for who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often. (al-Ahzab, 33:21)
(Mawlana Shaykh sits) Is that an ayatu 'l-kareemah, a holy verse or not? Why aren't you calling people to follow Rasoolullah (s), making him a best symbol for the life of people? Why was Allah Almighty saying this, wa lakum fee rasoolullahi uswatun hasanat? Who are those for whom the Lord of Heavens was saying, lakum, “for you”? O People, "for you!" As long as Mankind is living on this planet, they should be addressed through that holy verse, as that gives a model for all Mankind. Don't say, "We are high life people who follow western models and 21st century fashions for everything." Leave that and follow this!
O Salafi `ulamas! Why are you not saying to your mulook, who are giving money to you? Why are you not waking them up? Where was the Seal of Prophets (s) living? What was he sleeping on? He was sleeping on a hasir, straw mat, taking such a peaceful, enjoyful sleep. You are sleeping on first-class fashion beds with beautiful ladies, but you can't reach what the Seal of Prophets (s) reached. Why is Allah Almighty saying, wa lakum fee rasoolullahi uswatun hasanat? To what does this apply? Say, for everything! You must follow him, you must use him as the model for your lives! When you say, "The life of the Seal of Prophets (s) is the model and we are following him," then you may reach satisfaction; nothing will touch you or give you trouble! Then we may sleep with full pleasement, in peace. Angels will say to you, "As-salaamu `alaykum, O followers of the Seal of Prophets (s)! Peace be upon you and sleep well, and wake up with full satisfaction and full pleasure." Your physical body will take its rights and become so happy, and will make sajdah for Allah Almighty and say, "Allahu Akbar!"
That is Allah's grant to us. Why are you not following? Ad-deenu naseeha, religion is good advice! Why are you not giving that advice to Muslims? This holy verse is enough for you to be in pleasure for your entire life, in honor and peace! Why are you not teaching this to people? Allah Almighty is going to ask `ulamas, Hal balaghat, "Did you convey the message?" The Lord of Heavens will ask of anbiyaa, prophets. Allah Almighty will say to Sayyidina 'Isa (a), (Mawlana Shaykh stands)
وَإِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ أَأَنتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِي وَأُمِّيَ إِلَهَيْنِ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِحَقّ ٍ إِنْ كُنتُ قُلْتُه ُُ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَه ُُ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِي وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ
wa 'idh qaala allaahu yaa `eesá 'bna maryama a'anta qulta li '-naasi attakhidhoonee wa ummiya ilahayni min doonillahi qaala subĥaanaka maa yakoonu lee an aqoola maa laysa lee biĥaqqin in kuntu qultuhu faqad `alimtahu ta`lamu maa fee nafsee wa laa a`lamu maa fee nafsika innaka anta `allaamu al-ghuyoob.
And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection), "O 'Isa, son of Maryam! Did you say to men, 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?'" He will say,"Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right. Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner self, though I do not know what is in Yours! Truly only You are the Knower of all that is Hidden and Unseen. (Al-Ma'idah 5:116)
A'anta qulta li 'n-naasi attakhidhoonee wa ummiya ilahayni min doonillah, "Did you say to people to take yourself and your mother as gods other than Allah?" (Mawlana Shaykh sits) 'a'anta qulta, from the weight of `azhamat, the glory of this address, Jesus Christ (a) is going to disappear, (Mawlana Shaykh bows his head) and say, "O my Lord! You know what I said to them!" If the anbiyaa are going to be asked in such a way, then what about you, who say, "We are Salafi `ulamas." Angels are asking why are you not waking the servants of Allah Almighty for His heavenly servanthood? Allah Almighty will ask, "Why are you not teaching how they should live, and which one should be a model for the life of Mankind? Why are you not making it clear?"
I am asking the al-Azhar `ulamas also. Some of them are such no-mind people, there is a fitnah, corruption, in Farengistan, France. It is Shaytan's place, where they are making a qanoon, law, that a Muslim woman must not cover her face. What is that? And some al-Azhar `ulamas are saying that is correct! How are they going to answer on the Day of Resurrection, saying that law and order of the French government is true! How are they saying that this shaytanic fatwah is true? (...) Therefore, that one who claims he is a big `alim is making a big mistake and he is jaahil, ignorant. Allah Almighty will punish him, as He is closing the baab al-fitnah, the door of corruption. Shame on who is supporting the French government; they are not Muslim people. Non-Muslim people may not put their law against Muslim law. I am sorry to say that, because I am very angry. If he does not apologize, heavenly law will throw a heavenly lightning on his head and he will not live longer. May Allah forgive us.
O People! No one can change Shari`atullah, holy laws and orders of Allah Almighty! Yaa Rabb, O our Lord, forgive us! Send us one who can teach real Islam to Your servants. Where are you (what is your position), Salafi `ulamas, and why are you not refusing and objecting on what that ‘alim, that doctor is saying? If you are not refusing his fatwah, then you are going to be shareeki-jurum, partners in this crime, and you will share the penalty for it.
Tawbah yaa Rabbee, tawbah yaa Rabbee, tawbah astaghfirullah. Allah, Allah! Forgive us, yaa Rabbee! Send us someone to correct everything. The people who have destroyed your Shari`ah may be taken away, and those who keep the Shari`atullah may come for the honor of the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammed (s)!(Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits)
Fatihah.
