Clean Yourself for the Divine Invitation

Sultan al-Awliya

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani

29 June 2010 Lefke, Cyprus

(Mawlana Shaykh stands) Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, laa ilaaha illa-Llah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahi 'l-hamd! Zidhu yaa Rabbee `izzan wa sharafan nooran wa surooran, sultaanan wa ridwaana. Alfu salaat, alfu salaam `alayka wa ashaabika wa taabi`een, yaa Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa’l-Akhireen. (Mawlana Shaykh sits)

Alhamdulillah wa ’sh-shukrulillah, and also, as-salaamu `alaykum yaa `ibaadallahi ‘s-Saaliheen ma bayn al-maqshariq wa ’l-magharib. antum lana muqadameen wa nahnu tabi`eena lakum insha-Allah. As-salaamu `alaykum, yaa Qutb az-Zamaan. As-salaamu 'alaykum, yaa Saahib az-Zamaan. man yunkirkum. Whom they are refusing you or your being on Earth, they are asharr, worse than other shayaateen! They have such a hasad, they are so jealous. Waaritheen also inherit jealousy from Shaytan, but shayaateen can't do anything because al-haqqu ya`alu, “Truth is always up and kizhb (falsehood), everything against Truth is under our feet!”

We are claiming to be followers of true ones. Raghman `ala anfihim “Despite their will.” If shayaateen, diabolo, Shaytan's devils and their tails (Mawlana Shaykh gestures towards his back) going to be unhappy with us, there is coming on their heads cursing! O our Lord! We are running to You from every wrong thing and everyone who is asking to call people to baatil, falsehood, yes. We are running to representatives of the Seal of Prophets (s), running to them!

O People! SubhaanAllahi 'l-`Aliyyu 'l-`Azheem, Allah is Glorified and Great! How nothing? I am asking to learn; not only to learn, but to live what I learn.

And our attenders, as-salaamu `alaykum.

"How are you today? How many euros you are dealing today?"

"O my brother, for the economic crisis I have only reached today five million. I was hoping it to be ten million, but I reached to five million.”

“And how are you, o our brother, oh sir? You are chairman?”

“Yes.”

“Who is putting you to be chairman on us? You know that our president is making you to be chairman. And our president, you know him very well, because there are people saying that it has three eyes, living one."

"What are you asking, what living one?"

"If it is not a living one, how can it be our chairman?"

"Yes, I know and we are trying to collect everything from east to west, and to collect heaps of gold. That is our aim because our king is saying so, and he is taking our oath that we must try to collect as much as possible from earthly treasures. And I am trying to do that. Then people, they are in miseries but we can collect from them and we can make them our slaves, to work for us, or to do as we like.”

“And you know that, our chairman - ”

“Don't say, 'O, my brother chairman.' Say, 'O, my king.’ He has made it to make people our servants.'”

“O my friend, you know there are some who are refusing to be our servants.”

“Yes, they are calling people to Someone in Whom they are believing, to be His servants. But our king is saying to us, 'Make people to not believe in anything except material aspects and make them to be occupied 24 hours working for us, to be our slaves and to never accept that there is Someone in heavens. Don't leave them to believe in Him. Make them bow in front of us, because we are keeping treasures for this world's treasures. You must try to make people our aseer, our president's, slaves. And try to do everything so that people don’t believe in a Creator. And make them say, ‘That is nature.’ Make a big company through all countries, and you must be the director of such nonsense ideas. Bring people who are asking, 'How is this planet coming in existence?' You must try to teach them, ‘That is nature, nature, nature.’ They are coming up to that level and don't leave them to ask, 'What is nature? What is nature?' They can't ask. You must make a limit for their understanding because they are drunk with this life's pleasures and they are not asking beyond nature. That is our advantage.’

“And then, O our brothers, we must try to reach everything from this world's treasures and we should be boss on this planet. Yes. And masterhood on this planet must be for us! And it must be that being masters, through us they must have countless treasures so that we may use people on the wrong way. And they are going to be out-faced ones, and they are going to follow our commands. And we are here."

That is Shaytan's teachings and it is everywhere in universities now, through east and west, and I am sorry to say that the Islamic world also is on the same way. They are never accepting holy books to be sources of reality because they know that if reality is going to appear, their sultanate is going to fall down. Therefore, they are trying to do everything in the name of nature. Beyond nature, there is no other way to control everything on this planet. And to be for their boss or to be for their kings, their sultanate, they stand up through east and west. And now, everyone is giving a support for shaytanic existence and shaytanic teachings, to make Shaytan to be obeyed and to refuse beyond it. I am sorry to say that all Islamic countries have universities, academies, high schools and colleges and they are never taking from holy books anything to be mentioned through their teaching systems. No! No! And Shaytan just established his sultanate. I am sorry that Islamic territories are on the same way.

O Salafi people! Marhaban! I am not saying marhaban to Wahabi people because they are ignorant ones. I haven't any time to make them mukhatab, addressed ones, because their minds are never understanding anything. A donkey’s head, what it can carry, a Wahabi’s head can’t carry, no more. And Shaytan is making them its ride, to ride on their backs. And for what? They are a handful of people trying to control the big mass (majority) in Islam, saying, "We are on the right way, and the big crowding (majority) of Islam are on the wrong way." Oh, what is that? With which scale are you saying this? How are we using this?

قُلْ هَاتُواْ بُرْهَانَكُمْ

Qul haattoo burhaanukum.

"Say: Bring your proof!" (Surat al-Baqara, 2:111)

Give your proof for what you are saying. If you are not paying some people, no one opens their eyes or their mouths to speak! But they are not fearing from Allah (swt); no fear for them.

O Attenders! As-salaamu `alaykum. Keep yourselves from being dirty.

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ

Wa thiyaabaka fatahhir.

And your garments keep free from stain. (Surat al-Muddaththir, 74:4)

Allah Almighty is ordering, “O My servants, be careful not to let dirtiness reach you on your clothes, on your physical beings, on your mentalities also. Don’t let that dirtiness reach you.” Therefore, Allah Almighty is saying: (Mawlana Shaykh stands)

إِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ

innama ‘l-mushrikoona najasun.

Truly, the polytheists are impure. (Surat at-Tawbah, 9:28)

(Mawlana Shaykh sits) Mushrikoon (polytheists) are najas, dirty! They are a handful of people attacking and accusing the biggest crowd [majority] of Islam, saying, “They are not on the right way of Islam, they are on the wrong way.” They are accusing the big mass [majority] that they are in shirk [polytheism]. And they are making shirk and becoming mushrik. And the Lord of Heavens is saying, innama ‘l-mushrikoona najasun. Clean yourselves ! Tahhir thiyaabak. Taharah. Say!

O Salafi People! How many kinds of cleanliness are there in Islam? zhaahiran wa baatinan, out-looking (external apprearance) should be clean, and inside is the real personality; clean it. Allahumma tahir quloobana, “O our Lord! Purify our hearts.” That is Prophet’s (s) and all prophets’ prayer, “O our Lord! When our out-looking is dirty, it is easy to make it clean, but wa thiyaabaka fatahhir.” It is only Allah Almighty Who is sending aayaatun bayyinaat, heavenly inspirations about speaking on maa laa yaanee`, “that which does not concern you.”

Everyone knows that if your clothes are unclean, wash them. Allah Almighty is saying in Holy Qur’an, wa thiyaabaka fatahhir. Thiyaabak, thawb, your clothes dressed on your soul. It is not this clothes' washing you are understanding? You are Arabs, so you are understanding but not keeping that order, thiyaab, “purify.” It is not important in front of Allah Almighty (swt); He is not interested in washing our clothes. Wa dhakkir, “and mention to them.” Think on it. You know hal mim-muddakkirin, “Admonish them.”

O People! No one from you is looking and thinking on such a thing, wa thiyaabaka fatahhir. In Holy Qur’an, there is nothing to say as naseeha, advice that says, "O People, wash your clothes." What is the divine purpose Allah Almighty is asking us to keep that order? It is a big and heavy order, "You are coming to Me and you should be clean, not just washing your clothes and dressing and coming to Me, no.” (Mawlana Shaykh stands)

O Salafi `ulamas! Allah Almighty is saying:

وَاللّهُ يَدْعُو إِلَى دَارِ السَّلاَمِ

wallahu yad`u ila dar as-salaam.

But Allah does call to the Abode of Peace. (Suratu’l-Anbiya, 10:25)

Eh? We are washing our clothes and going to Dar as-Salaam? Mashaa-Allah! Are you understanding this, O Salafi `ulamas? We are doing to go to Dar as-Salaam? Yes? (Mawlana Shaykh touches his clothes) Washing and going to Dar as-Salaam? Allahu Akbar! (Mawlana Shaykh sits)

هَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ

Hal mim-muddakkir.

Is there any that will receive admonition? (al-Qamar: 54:40)

Is no one understanding or thinking on Holy Qur’an verses? wa thiyaabaka fatahhir! We are cleaning this, we are dressing and we are going to Dar as-Salaam with washed clothes? Not even saying they are jadidoo thiyaabak, jadeed, new clothes. “Come to Me clean with new appearances on yourself. I am going to dress you when I am calling you to Dar as-Salaam; I am that One Who is dressing you. But first you must clean yourself, then I am dressing you!" Allahu Akbar! Holy Qur’an! Oceans! Oceans! Oceans!

Therefore, it is always addressed ones who claim, “We are Salafi ‘ulamas.” Do you think that any of you ever heard from Salafi `ulamas such a commentary? It is written under it when they are speaking, "No commentary." If there is no commentary, what are you understanding? Allah Almighty is asking from His servants to be clean because He is Quddoos, “The Holy One.” What does it mean, “Quddoos”? That is an ocean. “Quddoos” means muqaddas, more than holy--sacred, and a meaning without limits. We are asking, “Yaa Quddoos!” Christians are using taqdees, “to be purified,” and every nation is asking taqdees, to be clean, as our Lord is asking us to be. Huwa ’l-Quddoos! SubhaanAllahi 'l-`Aliyyu 'l-`Azheem! SubhaanAllahi 'l-`Aliyyu 'l-`Azheem! They are understanding only about these clothes.

Sahaabah `alayhim ar-ridwaan. Prophet's (s) Companions did not have soap at that time to clean their clothes, so they used something else, but they were not doing that every time and we would never be happy to use such clothes. But awliyaa and Sahaabah were saying also that their clothes had a good perfume, so lovely that you can't find like that beautiful smell.

That is because they were understanding what it means, wa thiyaabaka fatahhir. What they were dressing in, if we had such clothes, every day we would be washing; it is not that meaning. The meaning is that Allah Almighty is dressing your spiritual being! This is our body; make it clean. 360 organs must be cleaned. Sahaabah (r) reached that cleanliness. Therefore, when they were leaving this life they were buried, and after 1,000 years, when opening it, it is as the day they had been buried. You must understand this, Salafi `ulamas and doctors of Shari`ah (Islamic law), and Azhari ’sh-Shareef `ulamas.

I am not addressing to Wahabi people; they are not understanding anything. Donkeys are understanding more than them. And we are trying to understand how to be clean because no one can enter a mosque if he is not clean. How can that person be invited to Dar al-Jalaal, Allah Almighty’s divine feast? How are they coming when they are dirty? That is important. You must find someone to make you clean. The Seal of Prophets (s) came from Arab tribes and they were not clean, and he cleaned them, so all of them were prepared for that divine invitation. They were using as their teacher or their trainer only one: the Seal of Prophets (s)!

Now also, we must try to have someone who can clean us. And those Wahabi people are attacking us, saying, "Why are you following shaykhs, tariqats and`ulamas? You must be free!" The free way and free system is for Shaytan and its followers, not in Islam. Ittabi’. And Allah Almighty is saying, (Mawlana Shaykh stands)

وَاتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَيَّ ثُمَّ إِلَيَّ

ittabi` sabeela man anaaba ilayy

Follow the path of he who turned to Me with love. (Surah Luqman, 31:15)

Sadaqallahu‘l-`Azheem (Mawlana sits)

May Allah forgive us for the honor of His most honored one, Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa’l-Akhireen, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits)

Fatihah.

(Sultan prays two raka`at Salaat ash-Shukr.)

Fatihah.
