(Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Laa ilaaha illa-Llah, laa ilaaha illa-Llah, laa ilaaha illa-Llah, Muhammadan Rasoolullah. Muhammadan Habeebullah. Muhammad nooru `arshillah. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)
Dastoor yaa Sayyidee, yaa Sultanu 'l-Awliya. We are asking support from heavenly power stations; it may be less than an atom, because if that support is coming it is like a molecule that may take away everything from Earth, such is the power from heavenly stations! We are humbly asking for a heavenly support even less than an atom.
And we are saying now As-salaamu `alaykum, our attenders, and welcome to you, welcome to you, welcome to you! This is a heavenly good tiding for whoever is going to be an attender for a humble assembly that is coming. It is a very short, but sharp, address to all people. And we are asking forgiveness and saying, Astaghfirullah. And we are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani ‘r-rajeem. You must remember to say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani ‘r-rajeem. If you are doing something without saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani ‘r-rajeem, Shaytan is breaking what you are asking to do. You may build it and Shaytan is coming and destroying it. Shayyun thaabit! Something that you are asking to be fixed (firm), you must say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem. That is the base which is reaching to Earth. If not, they are saying, it is like such a building without a foundation, which is quickly going to be destroyed.
If you are asking to do something for your Lord's pleasure, you must say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani ‘r-rajeem, "O my Lord, I am asking to bring to you something." For example, if you are cooking a meal and asking to take it to a person, and around you (are people who are) rushing on you, trying to dust or dirtiness in it, or to throw poison in it (from evil intentions), ask to be in your Lord's Heavenly Presence. Shaytan is ordering to his children, "Throw in it something not to go up with cleanliness," but when you say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani ‘r-rajeem, then angels are preventing that badness and making them go away, and your pleasure is going to reach to heavenly stations. Then, what you are asking to be granted in the Heavenly Presence of the Lord of Heavens is clean. Therefore, if you are asking for a clean life, say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani ‘r-rajeem.
O our Salafi `ulamas! Marhaban! You are saying such a thing? Is it not from Shari`ah or I am speaking out of Shari`atullah, what do you think? Yes, that is a very important point, because our worship of every kind is going to get up to the heavenly Presence of the Lord of Heavens. You must teach people to say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani ‘r-rajeem. But Shaytan, فَأَنسَاهُ الشَّيْطَانُ fa ansaahu 'sh-Shaaytan, “Shaytan made him forget.” (12:42) This ayatu 'l-kareemah, what do you think of it, Salafi `ulamas? fa ansaahu 'sh-Shaaytan. That means this is an ocean to be awakened. fa ansaahu 'sh-Shaaytan. Two words, but it is such an ocean. Beware! Don't be heedless, because Shaytan may cheat you and be make you to forget. fa ansaahu 'sh-Shaaytan. From whom? Every night Salafi `ulamas are taking their shares from naseeha, advising. Now we are making this declaration from east to west for all `ulamas. fa ansaahu 'sh-Shaaytan. What is Shaytan making people to forget, that is an very important point, like an ocean! Fa ansaahu. Who is coming? What is that? Now we understand, Shaytan is coming to all Mankind trying to make believers forget.
What is that forgotten matter? First of all, Shaytan is trying to make people not remember that Allah Almighty is with them and looking at them, controlling them and ordering to be written about that person his position. First thing that Shaytan is trying to make people forget is to their Lord, their Creator so that they are thinking, "We are free ones and no one is controlling us." Never remembering their Creator! If remembering, what is it going to be? If remembering that Allah Almighty is with him and that Allah Almighty is going to give His judgment for him, for every effort, every acting, every doing, then that one is forgetting. Then Shaytan just taking reins and putting reins on that person, riding like this, like that, then all people giving their reins to hands of Shaytan. Even imitated, highest-level people are forgetting Allah (swt). Every level of people are also forgetting and they are coming, down, down, down, to be fa ansaahu ash-Shaytan. First of all, he makes people not to remember that Allah Almighty is looking at them and knows they are going to do. And when a person is remembering that Allah (swt) he knows, "My Lord is with me." And he will be careful not to do something that his Lord is going to be unhappy with.
O Salafi `ulamas and other `ulamas also, you may bring commentary on this. fa ansaahu ash-Shaytan maa yaatee, “Shaytan made him forget about what is coming.” You must be reminders for the nation of the Seal of Prophets (s), Ummati Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) that Shaytan is making people not to remember that Allah Almighty is with them.
O People! What do you think, is there another god for you except Allah Almighty? (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) You are Allah Almighty! You are rabbuna! You are illahoon! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) Ta`aalallahu `ama yushrikoon? Allahu Akbar! Where are the Salafi `ulamas? Are you reminding people in such a way, or you are only saying, kufr, shirk,bida`, haraam? Why are you saying kufr, shirk, bida`, haraam on such subjects? Therefore, you are going to be muttaham, accused that you are following your egos, because your egos never like to open such a meaning to people!
We are like, fa ansaahu ash-Shaytan maa yaatee, “Shaytan made him forget about what is coming.” Shaytan may come to those people who are not thinking, they are heedless that Allah Almighty is with them. Then Shaytan is trying to make people forget about their mission on Earth. For what we have been sent on this planet and born, day after day, billions of people? For what are they coming? Say, Salafi `ulamas and other `ulamas!! Why are you not saying? For what are billions of people coming from Unseen Worlds to this planet? For what? Why you are not opening those meanings? That is Holy Qur'an. You must say! You must say! For what coming children of Adam (a)? For what have they been sent to be on this planet, eighty years, seventy years? What is their mission? Why are you not guiding them on that meaning? Are you not knowing, Salafi `ulamas, as well as all `ulamas? For what purpose have we been sent here? What is the divinely purpose? Say!
I am perhaps one-hundred-years now and I never heard from anyone, from `ulamas or khutabahs, learned people or scholars, to say what is the mission of people to come from Unseen Worlds to this world. Why you are not saying? Also, fa ansaahu 'sh-Shaytan. That means Shaytan wants you to forget. Say! "O People!! Daily people coming from Unseen World to this life. For what is their missions?" Say!! (Mawlana Shaykh stands.)
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
famaa khalaqtu 'l-jinna wa 'l-insa illa liya`abudoon,
I have created jinn and humans except that they become My servants. (51:56)
(Mawlana Shaykh sits.) That is our Lord's purpose!
You are `ulamas. I never heard any scholar or preacher to say this! Every Jumu`ah, every Friday you must remind, because that is a most important point: for people to know for what purpose they have been created and for what they have been sent here. For kings, shahs, presidents--mostly their titles are only for dunya, not for ahkirah--they are not knowing. And `alims, scholars must say it, say it again, say it again, say it again, another ayatul kareemah:
أَطِيعُواْ اللّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ الرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِي الأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ
ati` Allah wa at`i ar-Rasula wa uli ‘l-amri minkum.
Obey Allah, obey the Prophet, and obey those in authority among you. (4:59)
To be obedient servants for Allah Almighty, to be an obedient ummah for the Seal of Prophets (s), and to be good citizens of your government that has power on you to order or to prevent something, you must follow them!
First is to obey Allah Almighty, so first, Shaytan is trying to get Mankind to forget their Lord. Secondly, trying to forget the Seal of Prophets (s). Third, to forget, not to take any care for their obediency to their ruling governments! That (is directed to) sultans first, then coming down, down, down, having no honor, others having no honor, then even if imitating they can't reach. Fa ansaahu ash Shaytan. Shaytan just making people not to remember what Allah Almighty is saying, what His beloved, most glorified servant bringing from his Lord and saying, making them to forget, forget it. That is fa ansaahu ash Shaytan. If a person is going to forget something, he must fall in endless troubles. In one second he may do something and he will repent for what he did.
O People!! Particularly `ulamas, wholly including Ahlu’l-Sunnah wa’l-Jama`ah and Salafi `ulamas, you must try to teach people of such subjects. If you are doing this then you are doing your best, or you will have a great responsibility. Don't be angry. If anything is wrong, say to jalaalatul maalik, His Excellency, the king, "This is wrong," or mufti, you may ask them if this is true or wrong. Alhamdulillah, I use my mind for understanding what is haqq and what is baatil. That is also a grant from heavens; quickly my conscience is showing if a person is on the true way, or cheating people, or if they are going on shaytanic ways. May Allah (swt) forgives us.
Dome dome dome dome, Dome dome dome dome

O People! Ask for forgiveness. O People! Try to find a guide. Without guide, you can't go to hijaaz. How are you asking to go to Allah without a guide? You must have. Therefore, Sultan al-Bayazid (q) was saying, Man laa yakunu lahu shaykhun fashaykhuhu 'sh-shaytan , “Who has no guide to the true path has the devil as his guide.” It means who he is with his Lord, Almighty Allah, is always reminding because he is saying, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah....
O Salafi `ulamas! You are saying that is bida`." What is bida`, to say "Allah"? Say, loudly or silently! Say! Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah. Haqq! You can't say that is bida`; you are wrong ones! Allah Almighty is throwing you away from holy lands! Time is over, now haqq (truth) must be clear and baatil (falsehood) must also be clear so that people know which way is safety and which way is dangerous.
Shukr yaa Rabbee, shukr yaa Rabbee, shukr yaa Rabbee.
Fatihah.
Okay? Shukr! Alhamdulillah.
