(Mawlana Shaykh stands.) La ilaaha illa-Llah, la ilaaha illa-Llah, la ilaaha illa-Llah, al-Waahidu 'l-Qahhaar, Sayyidina wa Nabiyyuna Muhammad Rasoolullah (s). (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)
Dastoor, yaa Sultanu 'l-Awliyaa. We are asking support of Qutb al-Mutasarrif, who is controlling everything on this world, dunya.
Hayy, hayy, hayy, hayy, hayy, hayy, hayy, haaayyy, haayyy, hayyy, haayyyyy.
Huuu, Huuu, Huuu, Huuu, Huuu, Huuu, Allah, Huuu.
We are asking heavenly support from holy ones. Billions of people on earth, but holy ones, handful ones. Tooba, good tidings for those people who are asking to be supported through holy ones. For what we are asking support? A`oodhu billahi min ash- Shaytani 'r-rajeem. We are saying, O our Lord, we are asking protection from devils and evil. That is heavenly protocol: first, to address our Lord, then we are asking from that one who is controlling everything on dunya. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem is coming from heavens, on behalf of the Lord of Heavens. "If you are asking for heavenly support, I just grant it to you, every time you need support it is so easy, just say, bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem."
Believe in the power of the Holy Names! What do you want? The heavenly support that we are asking and that is just reaching us, you may ask through bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. To recite, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem is like knocking, and no one can come to that Power Ocean without saying, bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. When you are saying bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem you are just in touch and they must answer. They are looking, "Who is that one? How is he coming and for what is he asking support?" If they are coming to ask for something of no value, leaving them. But with Holy Names of Allah Almighty and bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem, that servant is coming and saying Holy Names of Allah Almighty and asking a support. Asking a support for what? What is their request, talab? If they are asking for anything, doon Allahi wa Rasooli, "besides Allah and the Messenger," something of no value in the Divine Presence and the heavenly presence of His most beloved one, they answer, "Leave that one, but give something." That is one heedless servant, not knowing what he must ask!
There is red sugar and beside it, a red coin. If you are saying to a small child to take one, he will run to the red sugar and leave the red, golden coin. They know what we are asking for. Asking this and that, and if we ask for red sugar, (they answer) "Give to him and let him go." That is one of the heedless people, not knowing what he is asking.
O People! There is a scale for your honor and everyone's value is going to be weighed with a balance. The value of people is also going to be with their requests, what they are asking. That is going to be seen from those people who are not knowing what they are asking, at least heedless ones, or at least ignorant ones, or at least no-mind ones, or at least mental-house-members. (Holy ones) are looking at what people are asking. Why should we say, bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem? Because bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem is opening everything!
What he is asking from dunya or akhirah, asking from this life or Next Life, if he is asking something from this temporary life, they are saying, "Give to him and leave him. That is a heedless one." If he is coming and asking something belonging to heavens, he should be granted. Some of them are coming and asking for Paradise, and have been given. But someone coming and saying, la maqsooda illa-Llah, "O our Lord, we are asking for You only, we are asking nothing else." The value of a man is going to be clear with his demands, what he is asking. Now all people, no value for them because they are not even asking for Paradise, asking instead for dunya, what is lowest and no-value for it.
O Salafi `ulamas! Are you understanding? You are giving too much care for this life, I think so. You are asking for a high life, you are asking perhaps for palaces or castles. Perhaps you are dreaming of a princess car. (Mawlana Shaykh says jokingly) You are saying, "It's name is also so sweet. So sweet princesses to ride on it, so hilou (sweet like halwa)! Yes, if I am going to have a princess car, it is going to be so enjoyful for me, and I am dreaming I am with a beautiful princess!" (laughter)
People are in such a way now. They are asking for the best one, highest one from dunya, "high life people," the level of top-scale (materialist) people. That is their last aim, to have the best one from dunya. What is the benefit to have a palace? If the palace is for showing the sultanate of Islam, power of Islam, it is okay, but if you are asking a palace for your ego, that has no value. Everything you are asking from, Allah Jalla Jalaaluhu jallat `azhamatahu (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) Sultan sensin, Subhaan sensin.
تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَن تَشَاء وَتَنزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّن تَشَاء
tu'tee 'l-mulka man tashaa'u wa tanzi`u 'l-mulka mimman tasha'
Thou givest power to whom Thou pleasest, and Thou strippest off power from whom Thou pleasest. (3:26)
O our Lord, You are that One. If You like to give, You may give, no one is preventing You. If you are preventing someone from something, no one can take it from You and give to that one.
A`oodhu billahi min ash- Shaytani 'r-rajeem, bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. Knock at the door and angels asking, "What are you asking, knocking at the door and saying, bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem? What do you want, what is your aim?"
"I need a palace," another, "A car, most famous brand." All of them asking this and that for dunya.
Saying, "Take it and go away! You are one of the heedless ones, you are reaching up to here, the presence of holy heavens, coming and asking for a car, a palace, a ship? What is that? Take it and go away, heedless one, no-mind one, Shaytan's servant, Shaytan's slave, take and go away!"
That is one of most important things that Man must know. Now all nations, all populations in this world, are not knowing to ask from the Lord of Heavens, they are only asking something of no-value. Allah Almighty is saying:
لو كانت الدنيا تزن عند الله جناح بعوضة ما سقى كافراً منها شربة ماء
law kaana 'd-dunya t`aadilu inda-Llahi janaaha ba` oodatan maa saqaa min kaafiru shurbatu maa.
If this earthly life had the value with Allah the weight of the wing of a mosquito, never would a rejecter of faith been granted a drop of water.
Yes, it is true Salafi `ulamas, or not? But `indakum, I don't know, is dunya so valuable or not? Allah knows, but I am looking in Arabian Peninsula, that perhaps hundreds and thousands of people have treasures and keeping them so firmly that if anyone asks something, they say, "Just I gave zakaat for this year, now I am finishing.Come next year and I shall pay you something." What are you are giving? Say to me, how you are making calculations of zakaat? According to holy commands, for forty coins one we must give, and thirty-nine we may keep.
I saw one person and I was saying, "O you are a rich person, give more, try to make much more charities."
"O Shaykh, I am giving all my zakaat."
"How much you are giving?"
He calculated, "I have forty dinars, I am giving one of them for zakaat, leaving thirty-nine for me."
I am saying, "Blame on you! You are giving yourself thirty-nine and giving for Allah, one?!"
What is that foolishness? Make for yourself one and give for Allah Almighty thirty-nine!!
وَالَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلاَ يُنفِقُونَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Alladheena yaknazoon adh-dhahab wa 'l-fiddah, wa laa yunfiqoonaha fee sabeelillahi fa-bashshirhum bi `adhaabin aleem.
And there are those who bury gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah. announce unto them a most grievous penalty. (9:34)
"Those hoarding gold and silver," why they are not giving? Giving only one from forty and thirty-nine for themselves, for what? Give for your ego one and give for Allah thirty-nine! That is real servanthood! Al-`abd wa maa yamliku li sayyiduh, (a slave of God and whatever he owns belongs to his Master.)
O Salafi `ulamas! Are you speaking such things to your people? And you are saying you are followers of Salafi `ulamas? Salafi `ulamas were on my fatwah or on your fatwah? On my fatwah, not on your fatwah! Give!
أنفق بلالا ولا تخاف من ذي العرش إقلالا
anfiq bilaa laa wa laa takhaaf man dha 'l-`arshi iqlaalan
Give without (saying) 'no' and do not fear from the Possessor of the Throne to be in loss
Don't say laa mawjood, "There is none." When you have been asked, give, don't say maa fee, "There is nothing." and you must not fear that the Owner of the Holy Throne is taking from you, and making you faqeer! But now peoples' vision is upside-down. If they are doing this, no one is going to be hungry or thirsty or homeless also. But they are keeping, keeping, keeping billions, 10 billions, 100 billions! What is the benefit?
On Yawm al-Qiyamah, the Day of Resurrection, Allah Almighty is asking, "What you did with I gave to you?"
"O my Lord, I left it."
"Is what I am granting for you to leave in dunya or to bring here?? why you left it?!"
Laa hawla wa laa quwatta illa billahi 'l-`Aliyyi 'l-`Azheem (there is no might and now power except with Allah, the Most High, the All-Powerful). The value of Mankind is now based on the dollar, euro, pound sterling, or riyal? Take your lesson through Holy Qur'an. Allah Almighty showing what happened to Qaroon because he was never giving, only storing. What happened up to today, he is coming down, everyday one man measure, coming down about two meters daily, and everywhere angels saying to you, "Ptuuh (spit)! Shame to you! Your Lord granting you so much and you are not giving and now coming down. Heavenly anger is reaching to you. What is that foolishness on you? How you did this? Not using your mind, how you were believing in Moses, and Moses was from the five Great Prophets, oolu 'l-aazam.
O Hadari `ulamas! Why you are not saying? Say! How many nights they are ordering me to speak on it that topic, that you are not giving enough naseeha, advice for people's real position in dunya and akhirah, and leaving mulook, kings or sultans keeping treasures and going!
SubhaanAllah! When a child is born, their hands are like this (clenched fists), but when passing away, their hands are like this (open hands), no one is keeping their hands like this (clenched fists)! Look at dead people. Who is coming is asking to save everything through their hands, but finally he is understanding what is happening, looking to his hands, with nothing in them. (They will say,) "O People! I tried to keep treasures, but look at my dead body, my hands are now open. I am not taking anything from dunya!"
There is a history about Iskandar Kabir, Alexander the Great. When his death approached, he knew death was coming and made a will, saying, "When I am passing away and they are putting me in my coffin, let my hands remain outside."
They asked, "O our emperor! Why you are saying this and refusing to put your hands near your body?"
"I am asking to show everyone who is perhaps thinking that Sikandar, Alexander the Great, is taking whole treasures with him that he is carrying nothing in his hands!"
O People! That is a big lesson! Say bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem and go on, Allah Almighty grants to you khazaaini 'l-`ard wa 'l-akhirah, treasures of this world and endless treasures of akhira, Paradise.
May Allah forgives us. O our Lord, we are always going to be heedless, therefore send us someone who makes Your servants to know reality. We are saying bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem brings to you khazaaini al-ard wa 's-samawaat, (the concealed treasureshouses of earth and heavens). If you are saying bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem you can reach treasures hidden under the first level of dunya, and also making people to know that no one is carrying anything from this life to that life! They must understand, but people now are followers of Shaytan, not followers of prophets. Therefore, cursing comes on them!
Allah, Allah! please save us and give Your Divine protection on us not to fall into wrong steps or wrong situation. O Allah! Save us and send us who may lead all Mankind on Your Right Path, to make You happy with them, to make You in pleasure with them, to make You, O our Lord, pleased with us, for the honor of the most honored one, Sayyidina Muhammad (s).
