(Mawlana Shaykh stands) Dastoor yaa rijaalAllah, madad, madad. Laa ilaaha illa-Llah. Laa ilaaha illa-Llah. Laa ilaaha illa-Llah Muhammadun Rasoolullah. Laa ilaaha illa Anta, Ant Allah, subhaanak, sultaanak. Laka‘l-hamdu, hamdan daaiman ma` khuloodik. We are asking for Your blessings and for Your forgiveness, O our Lord! (Mawlana Shaykh sits) And we are saying our most high praisings that no one else can reach, only for the honor of Creation, the most honored one in the Divinely Presence, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits)
لولاك لولاك ما خلقت الأفلاك
Law laak law laak maa khalaqtu 'l-aflaak.
Were it not for you (O Muhammad!), I would not have created the heavenly bodies."
Where are you, Salafi `ulamas? You are going to say about this, "It is never mentioned in books." From where are those books came in which it is written? From a flea market? You must go to the flea market!!! No one can reach his manzila, his level. Raghman `ala anfusihim! That is Haqq, when the Lord of Heavens is saying, "O my most praised one! O my most honored one, for whom I created everything!" But people are thinking this Creation is created for nothing, no! It is created for someone's honor, for someone's glory, and for someone's majesty!
O Salafi `ulama! You must learn and you must say, or you will be under the feet of jinns and shaytans, here and there! And we are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. We are running away from Shaytan and Shaytan's representatives. Shaytan is created as one, but its representatives are among everyone. You can't find anyone from Mankind saved from being Shaytan's representatives. Who is that one? Say!
O Salafi `ulamas! Say first, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem! I am also shouting to doctors of Shari`ah. Shari`ah is ill or just born handicapped? Do you think that Shari`ah was brought from Heavens as handicapped? How are you saying this? If handicapped, are you doctors for treating Shari`ah? O doctors of Shari`ah, you are like Salafi `ulamas or worse! Do you think that Shari`ah is ill or handicapped? Hisham Effendi, what do you think, are you a doctor also? (laughter)
All those who say, “We are doctors of Shari`ah” are not in need of a doctor, but all of them need a mental house! (laughter) If the power comes to this weakest servant, I am collecting all of you in a mental house! Yes, mental house is for all who claim so many things that are not true and will never be true!
You are like such a person, it is a funny story... Once a new majnun, idiot, was brought to a mental house and the doctor welcomed him, saying, "Welcome to our famous mental house."
"Yes sir, just I am coming to correct every wrong thing with some people claiming things that are not true. I am coming from Heavens as a new prophet and beginning from this place to correct everyone's ideas, to make them on the Right Way."
"Please tell me your identity."
"Yes, this is my identity. ‘To whom it may concern: Who is carrying this identity card is claiming that he has been sent as a new prophet for correcting everyone's wrong ideas.’”
The doctor says, "You are very welcome, sir! Please follow me."
He followed the doctor and came to a big hole with so many people inside, and one of them was sitting in the window, up high. His beard and his hair were like one running away from a jungle or coming from ta`ifat ul-jinn, jinns’ people, and he was sitting. When they were entering inside, that person said, "Welcome, O my servant, welcome! Who is that one coming with you?"
The doctor said, "He is a visitor."
"Thank you, our new visitor, yes. What is your profession?"
The doctor said, "O our lord (because that person was claiming lordship), this person is coming here as a prophet sent to the world's people to correct their steps and make them elegant and good ones for the Day of Resurrection."
"What is your name?"
He answered "Why are you asking my name?"
The doctor said, "O our master, I have not yet learned his name. He is hiding his real identity, saying that he is the last one sent from Heavens to correct their wrong steps. And what is your name?"
“My name is mount of Shaytan.”
“One moment, doctor.”
(Mawlana Shaykh puts on eyeglasses.) He is putting on his eyeglasses, and opening a big book, saying, "O Doctor! Say he is a liar! I never sent such a foolish messenger! He is a liar! Yes, go away! Don't make fitna for people, don’t make trouble for people! Take this ride of Shaytan to another hole, not to make our people to lose their good beliefs about me! Take him quickly! Look doctor, he is such an ugly looking one, from where? Take him quickly to another place!"
For what are we saying this? Because everyone now claims they are something or someone! They are thinking in such a way and quarrelling with each other, and that person is letting his ego to be a prophet. His ego was saying, “He is a wrong one, I never sent such a prophet. He is a foolish one. Take him away! I am the lord. Take this liar away!" And now all people are with their egos, thinking they are owner, commander and arranger for everything. They are getting up and there is a handful of people who are not accepting to be prophets, or messengers, but from up, up. Now from east to west, those Shaytani people who have been given power are thinking that under the Heavens they are the only ones for arranging everything on Earth. And now people are saying what is happening now never happened before, because everywhere there is blood, killing, and destruction. “If humanity is in such a way, we must run away to jungles; jungle people are better than those people!"
That is Shaytan making people think that about themselves, and they are never accepting to be the lowest people but they are asking to be the highest people of Heavens! And I am saying, if heavenly beings are like you, what is the meaning of being a heavenly one? In the Heavens there are no shaytanic trips or traps; all trips and traps are on Earth! How are you saying, "Our levels are over the levels of Heavens." And their levels are downstairs in dark universes, where there is no light! They are blind dragons, saying to people, "We are bringing to you from Heavens to make you happy, enjoyful, and in pleasure."
That is their promise for people, but now in this world you can't find any place without killing, burning, crisis, and every kind of shaytanic trips and traps! But people say, "We are doctors of Shari`ah." If you are such doctors, or like that person who was claiming, "I am a prophet," what is the benefit? Do you like what is happening in Egypt, doctors of Shari`ah, or `ulamas of Azhar Shareef? That is Allah Almighty's command? Do you like, O Salafi `ulamas, what is happening in Haramayni ’sh-Shareefayn? Is it suitable for Shari`ah?
Rasoolullah (s) and Shari`ah are blaming them! After two stories (in building construction) angels are saying, "What are you doing? You are going more up and up, and fighting with the Lord of Heavens! Why are you building? Is dunya a narrow place? You are making towers like Nimrod." Don't fear from governments, but you must fear from the Lord of Heavens, that He will ask you, "Why were you keeping Truth from your sultans, mulook and governments?!”
Why are you not giving a fatwa that building in such a way is not true? Allah will ask! Even true treatment for Haramain Shareefayn is good manners, as Allah Almighty said to Sayyidina Musa (a):
إِنِّي أَنَا رَبُّكَ فَاخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
Innee ana Rabbuka fakhl`a n`alayk innaka bi 'l-waadi 'l-muqaddasi Toowa.
Verily, I am your Lord! So take off your shoes; you are in the sacred valley, Toowa. (TaHa, 20:12)
Where is it, O Salafi `ulamas, and Azhari `ulamas? Qur'an Kareem is Eternal. That is hukm `ilahi, Allah Almighty's order to Sayyidina Musa (a), fakhl`a n`alayk. Why can the shoes carry some dirtiness? Where are you now, in a clean place? Don't step on it with your shoes, throw them away! This is a meaning that everyone may understand according to their levels. Why did Allah Almighty say this and mention it in the Holy Qur'an? Is there no hikmah, wisdom, for why Allah Almighty was saying this? What does He mean? Who is Musa (a)? “And Musa is representing Me." Who are representatives? Musa is one representative, and that means for every nation that had a prophet sent to them, the prophet was calling them to be clean ones. Fakhl`a n`alayk! You must take away every dirtiness that Shaytan is always throwing on you, also throwing in your heart, and throwing in your mentalities, to change them from Truth to wrong ones.
Beware and keep yourself clean in front of the Lord of Heavens, in the Divinely Presence of your Lord! Don't come in front of your Lord with dirty thoughts or thinking, or don't come with wrong ideas. Everything wrong that Mankind is doing is dirtiness in front of the Lord of Heavens, your Creator! Leave this and come clean! Therefore, Allah Almighty is ordering to His servants, “If you are asking to come to Me, be clean. Fakhl`a n`alayk!"
And mu`mins, believers, are keeping their shoes outside and coming in with clean shoes. Really the shoes that we are walking on belong to our hearts. Therefore, it is wrong for Christianity or Judaism that they are not taking off their shoes in prayer places, going in and not taking a bath and not taking new clothes, not cleaning themselves as much as possible for coming in the Divinely Presence! Why? Why are you walking in that place that is holy? If your prayer places are holy, you must take away your shoes! You must come in it clean; everything must be clean, inside and outside. Leave your mentalities that you are learning or teaching. Come and listen, come and hear what your Lord is saying. Take your real knowledge, and you must direct your faces to true directions.
Don't think so many things to try to make heavenly orders according to your understandings, no! The meanings are just reaching up to today through prophets. Come to your prophets, and as Moses (a) was taking his shoes off, you must take your shoes off. Jesus Christ (a) was not putting shoes on his feet, and he was coming to his Lord on his knees. Where are those people, and also Muslims? We are saying to Salafi `ulamas, why? The holy command is, "Take away your shoes." Only they are writing a sign at the entrance, "Take away your shoes." Why? Because shoes are carrying dirtiness. Come clean, inside and out.
May Allah forgive us and give us something for understanding. We are shouting. For what are we shouting? Because people are following Shaytan's deputies; therefore, we are shouting. We are not shouting to their outlookings (external appreances), but at what they are doing. Same for Muslims as well as Christians, and in Judaism; you must take off your shoes because, bi 'l-waadi 'l-muqaddasi Toowa, “You are in the sacred valley, Toowa.” If there is a heavenly appearance on Earth, that is spreading throughout east and west. But people are leaving an enlightened direction, using a dark direction to hide themselves.
Therefore, people like darkness and they have a chance only in the New Year for one minute to be in darkness. That is their idea, and they are saying, "If only that darkness may continue for years and years , throughout our whole lives." Shaytan makes them run in dark areas, to leave enlightened areas that never accept dirtiness.
May Allah forgive us for the honor of the most honored one in the Divine Presence, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits)
