Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, `Azeez Allah
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Kareem Allah
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Subhaan Allah
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Sultaan Allah
Yaa Rabbanaa ighfir lana. Yaa Rabbana salli `ala habeebika 'l Mustafa (s). Istafaytahu min al-azali ila 'l-`abadi an yakoon khalifatullah. Subhaan Allah. Subhaan Allah. Sultaan Allah. O yaa Rabbana zidhu `izzan wa sharafan, nooran wa surooran, ridwaana wa sultaana. Haadhihi 'l-laylati 'l-mubarakah, laylatu 'l-Jumu`ah.
Yaa Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa’l-Akhireen ishfa` lana `inda 'l-Rabb `azza wa jall, nahnu naltamis min hadrati 'l-haqq an yaslih ahwaalana bi jaahika `indahu, ameen. Wa 's-salaatu wa 's-salaam `alayka sall-Allahu `alayhi wa `ala aalihi wa sahbihi wa sallim tasleeman katheera. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)
Madad, yaa RijaalAllah. Yaa Sahibu’l-Imdaad, madad. Madad, yaa Qutb ul-Mutasarrif. Asking your heavenly support for addressing all nations in the east and west. Dastoor, yaa RijaalAllah. O holy ones, whom they are asking always to be closer to the heavenly presence of the Lord of Heavens!
Yes, and we are saying to our attenders now, just cut off everything that belongs to myself, and just rabitaatu 'sh-shareefah (connect your heart to heavens.) This is also making Salafi `ulamas very angry. They are saying this is shirk, and shouting at me ... he must come back and continue!
O our attenders! Give half-an-hour or more (to listen); you are giving all day for dunya and Shaytan, also give half-an-hour or less or more for hearing something that belongs to heavens! And we are saying, as-salaamu `alaykum our attenders, who are attending that declaration, asking to know, asking to understand, and asking to fulfill some orders that have been said on the Day of Promises. We are doing Your orders.
OAhlu’l-Sunnah wa’l-Jama`ah `ulamas! O Salafi `ulamas or teachers of Wahabi sect! Marhaban! What are you saying about this point that they are making me to address to you in particular? Leave Christianity and Judaism; if they are giving me an order, I'm discussing with them. Now it is important to discuss the beliefs of Muslims under the heavenly lights of the Holy Qur'an, because blind people are never seeing when they're opening the Holy Qur'an that each letter is giving light. You are looking and seeing or not? L`anatullahi kaadhibeen, l`anatullahi kaadhibeen (Allah's curse on those who lie [cf 3:61])! Say the truth! If you are not seeing don't say, “We are seeing.” It is the worst characteristic of Shaytan, and also the worst characteristic of egos. Therefore, liars are thrown away, and thrown away the second one, our egos. Our egos and Shaytan have the worst characteristics on both sides: to speak lies, always speaking lies. Shaytan is never speaking truth, never being a shahid, witness for truth, never accepting true ones. If we are making our egos follow Shaytan, our worst egoistic characteristic is to say lies. Prophet (s) was saying, laa yajtami`aan al-imaan wa 'l-kadhib (two characteristics cannot come together: faith and lying). Impossible. Where there is true imaan, if there are lies there, can’t be truth there.
O our `ulamas, I'm asking a question. All my life I ran after one true one, jadl min Allah (intertwined with Allah.) That is a favor from Allah Almighty. What about our `ulamas, were they following one? Say his name, because Allah Almighty is saying:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اتَّقُواْ اللّهَ وَكُونُواْ مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ
Yaa ayyuha'l-ladheena amanu kunu ma`a as-saadiqeen.
O believers, fear Allah and be with the trustworthy people (in word and deed). (9:119)
It is enough to follow that command of Allah Almighty; not just enough, it is more that enough! Who is carrying something in their jumjumah, skull, say the truth and try to be a true one: that is Islam, that is the real religion acceptable in the Divinely Presence! The pope must be a true one, and chief rabbi must be a true one, because they made me ask some questions. But heavy bombarding is coming on Christianity and heavier on Judaism! Now normal bombarding, what they are making me to bombard on Ahlu’l-Sunnah, and heavier on Shi`a, and coming after that other sects. Everyone is claiming, “We are on the true way.” I hope that bombarding comes through the weakest servant, and (shakes up people) in the east and west.
Allah Almighty’s first command is to be true ones, yes, istaqeemu, that is be true ones, holy command coming from heavens to prophets. Ahlu ’s-Sunnah `ulamas, Salafi `ulamas and Wahabi teachers who are claiming to know everything. Do you remember hadith shareef an-nabawi? Ja'a yawman `arabiyun, to hadratu 'r-risala, holy hudoor, presence. And saying, “Yaa Rasoolullah, I am rajul, I am such a simple man, I'm not knowing how to read, or to write. I heard that you were sent as the Last Prophet to all nations. I'm believing in you and what you say! O beloved one, O most-honored one, I heard that you are speaking to people, giving so many orders and advices making people, "do this, don't do that." I’m a simple one, I don't think that a person is more simple than me. I accept you! You are Rasoolullah! Amantu bihaa, amantu wa bimaa b`athaka rasoolan bi 'l-haqq! But I like to learn something that may guide me to the end of my life, saving me here and Hereafter. O Prophet, our real rasool, ansah lee wa awjuz (advise me and summarize it for me.)
O Ahlu’l-Sunnah wa’l-Jama`ah `ulamas, Shi`a `ulamas and other sects! What was Rasool’s (s) jawab, answer? Rasool (s) said, salawaatullahi `alayk, “O Arabi, qul amantu bi-Llah thumma 'staqim.” Haqq or baatil? Say! Where is your Islam? Hadha 'lladhee yal`ab bikum ad-dunya (this is how dunya is playing with you), how you can tad`oona innakum `ala 'l-istiqaamah (how can you pretend you are on righteousnous?) How do you claim to be on istiqaamah?
Therefore, I’m swearing because laa`na 't-Allah `ala 'l-kaadhibeen, "Allah's curse is on the liars!" I'm asking `ulama Ahlu ’s-Sunnah, `ulama Shi`a, `ulama of different sects, are you understanding what Prophet (s) said? You must understand. Are you keeping his advice? What do you think, `ulamas, enough or not enough or more than enough? To summarize, the Seal of Prophet (s) said, “O brother, Arabi, say, ‘I’m believing in the Lord of Heavens, Allah.' Say, say, say! And then say, qul Rabbee Allah, 'Who created me, Who brought me from Unknown Territories to this world, I’m believing in You, my Creator, my Lord, Allah!' And the second command, say this, 'thumma 'staqim.'"
What does it mean? Say! What was the tafseer of Muhmmad ibn `Abdul-Wahhab about this hadith? He spoke on it or not? Say to me, and bring a proof that he said this. Why not saying? We are so simple ones. You may say, like that Bedouin. We are also going to be addressed through Prophet’s (s) answer, thumma 'staqim. What does it mean? “Say, ‘My Lord, You, O Allah,’ say this first, then try to believe that command, thumma 'staqim, O Bedouin, believe in your Lord and try to be a true one, a right one.’”
Why is the `alam al-Islam, Islamic world coming down? Because they lost keeping that advice of the Seal of Prophets (s). I am addressing to whole jalaalatu 'l-mulooku 'l-`arab wa `ulamakum mashaykh, addressing to all of them, why are they are not writing that hadith, kalaamu 'n-Nabi, holy words of Prophet (s) that he was never speaking an-nafsu, on behalf of himself? He was, 'wa maa yantiqu `ani 'l-hawa,' you know he was never speaking on behalf of his ego, he is always speaking what his Lord was speaking by words and by understanding! And why Arab kings are not writing that hadith shareef with golden letters everywhere, to say, "O Muslims! That is Prophet’s (s) advice to you! If you are asking to save yourself from fitna, crisis, and to save yourself from hells, look, 'Qul amantu bi-Llah thumma 'staqim.'" Put everywhere with golden letters, silver letters, diamond letters! If not, with musahhah, ink, why not writing this in our calligraphy?
O People! Why are you not ordering the calligraphers to write this on hundreds and thousands of tablets and why are people not asking this? Because you are not reminding them!
O `ulamas Ahlu ’s-Sunnah, `ulamas Ahlu ’s-Salaf us-Saalih, `ulamas Shi`a! Why are you not following what Allah Almighty is making His most beloved, most honored, most glorified on to say, thumma 'staqim?
O People! If I am going to speak on it up to next year it will be never ending! I am asking who understands, and I am asking who is going to practice that?
May Allah forgive us for the honor of this holy night. Yaa Allah! Send us someone to wake up all of us who are sleeping, or all of us who are drunk! Tawbah yaa Rabbee. Tawbah yaa Rabbee. Tawbah yaa Rabbee, Tawbah Astaghfirullah. O our Lord! Forgive us. And we are looking for Your blessings for the honor of the most honored one, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)!
