Suhbah after Jumu`ah
(Mawlana Shaykh stands.) A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem. Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem. (...Tranmission cuts, one minute...) ...to live peacefully. Shaytan always asking people to live by quarreling, fighting, killing, suffering, through miseries.
Madad yaa Sultaan al-Awliya. madad yaa rijaalallah. Alfu alfu salaat, alfu alfu salaam yaa Sayyidina al-awaleen wa'l-akhireen, Sayyidina Muhammad, zidhu ya rabbee `izzan wa sharafan wa nooran wa salaaman, azhar shaanahu. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)
That is the level of the birthday of the Seal of Prophets (s), tanzil rahmah coming. (Someone says, “Mercy,”) Mercy? I said birthday! (laughter) Coming blessings from heavens, coming mercy from heavens.
O People! Ask for your Lord to grant us from His Mercy Oceans and to forgive us and send us His divinely blessings. Be happy! Be happy that we are handsome people coming here. Now through East and West, raining from Mercy Oceans and we hope that we may reach even one drop on ourselves.
O People! Say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem. Allah (swt) makes Shaytan go far away from ourselves. Allah Almighty leaving Shaytan and saying to him, “Go, do as you like, whatever you can do, do!" One angel answering to Shaytan, saying, “O you, who is thrown away from the Divine Presence, it can be millions, billions, quadrillions of shaytans, can’t do anything!!” Because Mankind is under divine protection, that Allah Almighty granted that protection to Sayyidina Muhammad (s). (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) Yes, Allah, Allah, Allah.
O People! Don't be heedless! Shaytan makes people heedless and trying to make people disobedient ones to their Lord, their Creator. But now people are not thinking. They love to think on such a very fine point but not thinking, how we are in existence, or how we came on this planet, or how Children of Adam are born and created? Then they are growing and coming back, getting older and older, weaker and weaker, and then falling on the Earth, then they are put under the Earth.
Twenty-first century people are drunks. Drunks! Everyone is drunk. They are never thinking about their realities. What is the reality of Mankind? No one is asking about their identity. “Who am I? Why am I here? To whom am I going to be taken?” No, running up and down from morning to evening. It is not for a person to think about himself, “Who am I, that I am speaking and thinking? How you came? Who are you? I must look in a mirror. I came here. I am not saying this is myself, I am saying this mirror is a liar, showing such an ugly one. That mirror is lying!" People are never thinking, never saying or asking about their identities. “How I was once upon a time a young one, now who made me an old one? Once upon a time I was a small baby, now I am ten-years-old, then older, and if I may put behind 100 one zero, and you are going to be 1000 years old like Prophet Noah (a). What is that? I am that one? Who is making me to be changed?"
O People! Don't think that you are a statue; statues are always looking, from the time of pharaohs they are sitting like this (Mawlana sits very still), never changing. How many years? Ten years? They are sitting like this, never saying, “I am tired.” If they are tired, must make them to stand up or must sit down, but never changing! But Man is not like statues, everyday changing, in past time, present time, future time. I know English, mashaa-Allah. (laughter) I forget this, but they are giving me powers. Past time, present time, future time. How am I going to be in ten years, and who is changing me, "nature"? They may go to Hell with nature! Whoever believes in nature (as a creator) does not believe in the Lord of Creation. They are saying, “We are living on the top point of civilization,” and saying, “Nature making me.” What is that, civilization? Nothing, finished. Ninety-nine percent of people believe in nature and not believing in the Creator of this universe! Forgetting who put them on this planet and how this planet is turning or how it is running (flawlessly), never making a mistake through its turning and running. From where is it coming? To where is it going? People are never asking.
O People! Wake up, leave your drinks and come to yourself. Drinks are taking you from yourself and taking from your real being. O People! Come to your real being! Therefore, everything that prophets were saying, we must think on it. Thousands of prophets coming and, as we are informed by the Seal of Prophets (s), (they brought heavenly) instructions. 124,000 prophets saying to people, “Come to our Creator, come and listen and obey and be His servants.” Servanthood is the most high dress; servanthood dressing is the best dressing and the most honored dressing. You can not find any dressing better than servanthood. Be happy! Be proud by being servants to the Lord of Heavens, to be servants in Creation, from pre-Eternal to Eternal!
O People! Who created you and put you on this planet is asking to dress you in honored dressing of servanthood. Don't run away. People like to run away from servanthood, they like to be slaves to Shaytan. Slavery is something and servanthood is something else; slavery is making people on the lowest level, but servanthood is taking them up, up, up endlessly. That grant is from our Creator dressing us, from servanthood dressing, neverending. You are always going to be dressing in new lightening and new beauty comes on you. You are always going to be dressed in new beauty and receive new knowledge about the Lord's creatures. And always going to be granting new (dressing) to His creatures and granting to His servants, granting endlessly: “O My servant, ask and take, I am putting to your heart to ask. Ask, I am granting, neverending grants I have.”
O People! So quickly our lives are running, running, running, going to finish. We are like sticks, just fire on it and coming less, coming less, coming less and finishing. In the Divine Presence the first the light is going up, going up, going up endlessly. If a man can learn such wisdoms, it is reaching to ourselves through the heavenly levels coming to prophets and they are giving good tidings about our brightened future. No future there; there is eternity, eternity, eternity. They are wasting our chances, they are not going to be granted another chance. If asking to be on the lowest level, you will always be on that level, even if you have been granted. But to get up, Allah Almighty is saying, ”O Ummati Muhammad (s)!" (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) "I am granting to you endlessly, endlessly, always, always. That is My pleasure.'”
We have a saying, kullu jadeedun ladheedh, “Every new thing is much more tasteful.” You are never asking to reach your first level after you reach your second level. When you are reaching your third level, you are never asking for your second level. That is very high astonishing for people. Because the first level that you have been granted and then the second coming to you, and you are not losing the first. When you reach the third level, you are not losing the second level, because what Allah Almighty gives He is never taking back.
O People! That is a celebration of the Seal of Prophets (s), that everything is created for his honor, inspite of their will!
O hadrati `ulamas, Salafi `ulamas, they are not accepting and they are going to be fixed, no more going up.
O People! Keep the way of Ahlu ’s-Sunnah wa 'l-Jama`ah and the Seal of Prophets (s). His level no one knows, no one can keep the divine lights, that is impossible. Only one, the Seal of Prophets (s) can carry, and giving more from divine lights. If not reaching to heavenly lights, heavenly lights are going to be black, nothing on it.
Allah (swt) gives us a good understanding. We are asking forgiveness of Allah Almighty and we are asking for celebration of Seal of Prophets (s), we are asking sixty years of celebration from East to West, that Allah (swt) gives us more lights!
Fatihah.
As-salaamu `alaykum.
