O Muslims, Stop Killing!

Sultan al-Awliya

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim

23 October 2009 Lefke, Cyprus

As-salaamu `alaykum!

A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani ‘r-rajeem. Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem. Wa laa hawla wa la quwatta illa billahi ‘l-`Aliyya ‘l-`Adheem.

O Mu’mins and Mu’minas! It is first Jumu’ah for Dhul-Q`ada; it is from ashhuru 'l-hurum (prohibited months). As Allah Almighty granting to the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) (Mawlana stands)...zidhu ya Rabbee, `izzan wa sharafan wa nooran wa surooran w ‘aghfirlana ya rabbana bi jaahi ‘n-nabiyyina ‘l-mukhtaar dunya wa ukhra. “O our Lord, increase him in dignity and honor and lights and happiness, and forgive us, O our Lord, for the sake (honor) of our Prophet (s), the Chosen one, in this life and the Next.”

O our brothers and sisters here and there, we are repeating something that you know but you are forgetting. I am expecting our Lord’s blessings, and first His forgiveness. May it be acceptable, because if this is going to be a gathering from Ummati Muhammad (s), (Mawlana stands) forty people may have the power of one holy one from awliyaas. I think we have more people here and we are asking humbly for forgiveness. We hope it is going to be accepted and our Lord’s blessings will run on ourselves also from east to west, north to south, everywhere. وَمَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ - "Wa maa dhaalika `ala-Allai bi `azeez - It is not something difficult for Allah.” (Surah Faatir, 35:17) For the need of one, He may give His forgiveness and blessings to all, yes!

As for the honor of that one (s), we hope that the Day of Resurrection and the Day of Judgment is for the honor of that most honored and glorified one, that it is his to declare the holy name he was granted from his Lord, from pre-Eternal up to Eternal! We should reach blessings here and Hereafter. Try to give His most glorified one and honored one. For his honor ask for rains, come and ask. People are saying that there is no raining, we are saying in Africa there is dry weather, no raining. Come and ask for the honor of that one, Sayyidina Muhammad (s), and it should rain. For the honor of that most honored one, ask for his honor.

O our Lord! Send us Your rains to come out green grasses and to fall, and to be full bloom plants. Yes, we are saying a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem. Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem. We are creatures, and through creatures we are the most honored ones. Try to know your value and honor in His Heavenly Presence. You have been granted such an honor, O Mankind, that no other creature has been honored. Leave to be drunk, enough! Come and ask forgiveness and ask His blessings and mercy.

Now the Master of this world is saying to me, “If living people are not giving their pity and mercy to each other, how you are asking from the Lord of Heavens to send them His mercy?” I am sorry to say that Islamic world now, is in such a position that people are killing and destroying and burning. It is not for the Muslim ummah to do that, because Sayyidina Rasulullah (s), the honor of Creation, as he brought us from endless Mercy Oceans a drop. And he was dealing with the whole Creation gently and asking for that Mercy Oceans to run on them. But now in the Muslim world they are fighting with each other, and killing, and burning, and destroying. It is difficult. They are running away from holy orders from Heavens. Hear and listen and obey heavenly orders! But it is a pity for the nation of the Seal of Prophets (s) to forget that they are from Ummatu ‘l-Habeeb, Sayyidina Rasulullah (s). And he was always advising to his nations to be full of pity for all creatures. And the most high honor that Almighty Allah granted is to the nation of the Seal of Prophets (s). Who is saying to them to fight on the streets with each other, killing innocent people? They should be punished!

O People! First of all, you should listen to holy orders of heavens. Don’t get out on a demonstration, that is haraam in Islam! Everywhere, who are getting out and doing demonstrations are doing such a dirty thing that angels are cursing them. Do you think the Seal of Prophets (s) was making demonstrations? No, never!!! Or after him, leaving people to do demonstration? No. Demonstration in Islam is forbidden! Ask the highest degree learned-ones whom they are thinking they have an authority in Islamic knowledge. I am asking if it is true to make demonstrations through streets, killing, burning, shooting? What is that? Say (your proof)! Bring fatwa from the highest authority for Islam here and now. How they are not issuing a fatwa that demonstrations are just haraam, forbidden?

And the Seal of Prophets (s) said, Laa darara fi ‘l-islam wa laa diraar -You can’t give trouble to anyone and even if he did something that injured you, don’t do as he did!” Now Ummatu ‘l-Habeeb is so far from Islamic principles that are well known. They must write a fatwa, Shaykh al-Azhar, that it is forbidden by holy command of Allah (swt), Who says, Isti`adhu billah: وَلاَ تَقْتُلُواْ أَنفُسَكُمْ - "wa laa taqtuloo anfusakum - Do not kill yourselves" ( Suratu 'n-Nisa, 4:29) - and anyone else; it is forbidden.” How they are killing themselves? Putting bombs on their bodies and making an explosion, killing themselves and killing others. Is it halaal? Where are the `ulama? They are dressing in the dress of honor of Islam, but they are not speaking truth bravely. Say, high `ulama, that Allah (swt) has forbidden to kill yourselves or others! Where are the mullahs in Iran, in Turkey, in Hijaz, in Damascus, where are `ulama in African countries?

Today they are living and tomorrow they are going to stand up in Divinely Presence, and Allah is taking revenge for the innocent people. Everything they are doing, I am sorry to say that--Pakistani people, Afghanistan people--they are killing, killing (and) with whose fatwa they are doing this? Are they fearing from fighting to Allah (swt)? They are not fighting to others. وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ - "Wa ufawidu amree ila-Allah - I am leaving my wish or will to my Lord, Almighty Allah." (Surah Ghaafir, 40:44)

If they are continuing, Allah Almighty should send on them tajalli qahar, the appearance of His Revenge. He is going to take, must be! A new year is coming with new appearances and all of them will be changed. Whole world now is against heavenly orders and they will be taken away. Only innocent ones will remain. Pakistan people killing, Afghan people killing, everywhere killing, for what? Allah Almighty likes to make people to live, to be alive, to take their naseeb, what it is written for them through this dunya. That is not killing each other! Without any reason it is forbidden, and to kill only those people whom are against Shari`at-Allah.

Allah (swt) sending to them someone to take revenge or through their graveyards waiting (for them) zabaaniya, angels of punishment from fire are coming to give to them punishment for what they were doing. Their graves are full of scorpions and snakes and this black uruncak, spiders, every kind they should give them punishment. Just as it is mentioned through holy books, if one person killed himself, it is not finishing. You saw that person killed himself with a bomb, where he is going, that one who killed so many servants of the Lord? Why? Every moment going to punished with a new explosion through their graveyard, never ending up to Yawm al-Qiyamah! Hundreds of times boom, boom, boom up to the Day of Resurrection. Fear from Allah (swt), O people! Don’t do that! Don’t do that! And `ulama who are not informing those people will be punished!

O People! Be gentle, be merciful, be full of pity. Take care of yourselves, take care of every creation on earth. Don’t say, “This person is English, that is Russian, that is American, that is Persian.” No. All of us are under the title Asta`id billah: wa laqad karamna bani Adam, As Allah said in Holy Qur’an, وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ - “We have honored the Children of Adam.” (Suratu 'l-Isra, 17:70)

O Allah (swt), forgive us, send us a shepherd to collect our hearts towards You, for the honor of the most beloved one, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). If not, I don’t know what is coming up to next week or next month or next year, but our ways are on the wrong way. I am sorry, I don’t like to step on their steps, tawb ila-Allah, “Ask forgiveness from Allah (swt).”

Today I am a little bit from this grip (illness), I am tired or I may speak on it so much. I am so angry and my anger is from heavenly anger, not earthly anger! If they are not listening, something may touch to them. I am finished, people, but our power is going on, never ending. Allah Allah, Allah Allah.

O our Lord, forgive us! Send us someone that may arrange our lives according to Your holy rules, to be acceptable servants through Your Divine Presence for the honor of the most honored one, Habeebullah, Sayyidina Muhammad. (Mawlana stands.)

Fatihah.

May Allah (swt) forgive us! Allahumma ‘ghfir lana w ‘arhamna wa tub `alayna.
