....the right to follow (Y)our way as You like. You are only One. No a second one. You have dominions, endless dominions. You have endless oceans, (n)ever-ending oceans. And Your creation continuously ever ending. Because You are so Kareem. Your generosity (n)ever-ending and You like to create and to give Your creation.
O our Lord! We are saying, A `udhubillahi mina 'sh-Shaytani 'r-Rajeem, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. We are running from worst creature Shaytan, we are running away from that one to You because whole lightenings, endless lights for You and Your grants (n)ever-ending. Shaytan that most ignorant one, most proud one because because eh.. proud bringing ignorance and ignorance bringing proud and we are running away to our Lord to save us from pride, to claim that we are proud ones and we are running away from Shaytan and its ignorance. Worst, worst what we are saying hm..not quality, sifaat, characteristic. Worst characteristic is to be proud or to claim that, that one is a proud one. To be proud.. Absolute Proudness only for Allah Almighty not to anyone else. Only for One and Shaytan was fighting with his Creator and he was saying, "because You gave me so many eh.. high qualities I am getting proud, because what You granted to me with that Heavenly Grants giving me a right to be proud." But that ignorant one never understanding that what Allah Almighty granted to him from Heavenly Knowledges not to make him to be proud. Not to know that to be proud only for the Creator.
Now we are living in a time that everyone asking to be proud ones and they are inheriting that worst tarbiyah worst quality from Shaytan. That means whole world people now they are claiming that we are a proud one, proud ones. Therefore they are calling to be a proud one and no pride to anyone else. That is what people claiming, that they are something, to be something giving to them a right to be proud. Very wrong idea that just had been taught to people. People they are making competition among themselves which one may be much more proud and they are inheriting that worst quality from Shaytan.
O people! Hear and listen and obey! Hear and learn! and keep what you are learning. What you are learning? O people! Don't think that your dressings giving to you a right to be a proud one or kings or queens or that first class people of nations. They are thinking that what they are dressing giving them a right to be proud or they are thinking that their imitated titles giving them a right to be proud, No!!
Everything on this planet imitated. No reality, only an appearance from heavens falling on this planet and people thinking that it is a real being. No. Every appearance on earth that coming on people it is only a eh.. vision. Vision no reality. If you are asking Reality you may ask through Heavens. Heavens being is not same as being of this planet. No. Heavens, it has countless planets or systems or galaxies without an end. No one can add it, that for the level of Heavens. The creation of Heavens is something else because they are creation from lights. Lights never accepting a darkness of our egoistic eh.. egoistic talab, request.. no, tamanee, desire, no answering heavens to people living on earth. That earth it is on the line of darkness through darkness.
Someone was asking, "O Shaykh! Why daytime color of skies is blue and nighttime it is black?" It is a question I am saying, "Go and ask to those people whom they granted holy books. What holy books saying. Holy Quran saying everything.. for everything there is answer." And we may say daytime the lights giving skies a color, blue color, that is a color of... that is color, that in it billions of stars or like our earth swimming in it and running in it. But nighttime is, it is another appearance.. appearance of nighttime just different from daytime appearance. That is day's color is different from the color of night. Black color also it is a color of eh.. lightening, lights, because nighttimes nur, nighttime's lights its color changing. It is also a color that it is suitable for the creation - of our level of creation. Our creation level just different. It has a day color, dressed, and then night color different and night color it has a greatness.
Greatness means .. haybah, the color of night, color of mightiness it giving something for understanding of mankind that azamah, greatness and the mightiness of the Creator that created that. And anytime the Lord of nights, the Lord of black lightening eh..
Black lightening dominions giving such a fear to show people to give to them the feeling of greatness and mighty endless greatness - endless Mightiness of the Creator. It is so majestic appearance of the endless, mighty appearance of the Lord of creation. And that black color contains countless dominions of creation. No one can be able to think on it or to realize something through that black color. (It is) not only black but dark black, dark that therefore now people they are looking space and they are saying there is black holes. Black holes and no one knowing about black holes only they are feeling some feeling of reaching through their mathematics, about astronomy. They are feeling that there is such a powerful stations that may swallow whole creation and leaving everything disappeared and black holes no one knowing what it is, what it did. Therefore `azhamah, the Divinely eh.. Greatness, majestic ? Divinely mighty oceans, only one appearance may be less than an atom beside the oceans of mighty.
O people! Come and listen! Come and think on it. We are knowing nothing, we are only knowing and learning to be proud ones. It is not for you to be proud. Only for That One who has such a power, endless power, endless mightiness, endless .. power oceans.
O people, that is nothing what we are saying. It is only like an atom or less for giving eh.. for explaining, a least explanation about the endless mighty oceans of Allah that person was asking for. What dark? The eh.. renk, color, of night is black and day it is blue. Blue that may appear what Allah Almighty asking to come in existence showing but darkness dominions, endless dominions of darkness or endless dominions of power oceans, endless dominions of mighty oceans. When we are saying mighty it is going to be like...Mighty, showing at least point of greatness of Allah Almighty.
O people! Come and understand to whom may be a right to be proud. Not for you to be proud. Only for One, not a second one. And you must be happy that That One granted to you to appear in existence. Look.. what is your space in existence. How you are saying, "I am this one," "I am that one?" What is your title, that is title? For what you are saying getting to be "`azhamah proud and power with us"? Why you are saying this, particularly First Lady? For what everyone First Ladies' husband... It (he) has not right to say "I am First Gentleman"? (or) "I am first most powerful one?" No! It is not for you, O people. The worst illness or worst characteristic for man to think that he is something and if I am something I must be proud one and to be proud eating the personality of people that dressed on him from Heavens and appearing through that as a person dressed (with a) body, that dressed on skeleton.. skeleton. When outlooking on man going away remaining, that very, very eh.. hateful or fearful figure from you.
O man, think on it. One day should, going to be taken from you that out-looking dress and only your skeleton remains that anyone looking may escape from it, escape. Think on it and don't try to be proud through your clothes or your imitated titles. Running after you - death - to take from your out-dressing and you should be through a grave and there your skeleton going to be eh.. protected? Just kept in it your inner clothes. Out-looking clothes just finished and inner dress of you going to be through that graveyard. If opening and people looking to that skeleton, may run away.
O people! Absolute Greatness, Absolute Mightiness, Everything Absolute.. that belongs to the Lord of Creation. Belongs to Him only. You are nothing. O people! Try to learn something about yourself and about your mission, for what you have been created and for what the Lord of Mankind ordering or advising His servants to do. Pride, prideness, preventing a person to be good person and eh.. pride making a way that not to be a good person preventing (to be a good person) and one day angels should take that person to his graveyard and he is going. They are going to show him "look here, who is there?" And he should say "skeleton." To whom they ask angels may say, "That is your skeleton, inner clothes that dressed on it flesh and you were proud with your flesh through life of dunya."
Think on it and come and try to be a good one, good servant for your Lord (in order that) to be granted to you from light oceans, from Heavens. Heavenly dress to be dressed on you. Ask That One. Don't run to tailors to make for you eh.. good suit. That is nothing. But try that angels may do for you a good dress that it should be so majestic full with lights; full with eh.. majestic, magnificent. That is important.
O people! Time is over. Come and understand or you are going to be through graveyard a skeleton (that) if you can look (at) it you may run away. May Allah forgive us. For the honor of this month holy Ramadan and blessed night of holy Ramadan night of Friday, Jum 'a. We are asking forgiveness and asking something to try to be a good servant not to be a bad servant. Pray and ask from your Lord forgiveness and blessings. O people, as-salam `alaykum.
