Suhbah after Jumu`ah Khutbah
(Mawlana Shaykh stands.)
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, `Azeez Allah.
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Subhaan Allah.
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Sultaan Allah.
Salli `ala Sultan al-Anbiya. Zidhu yaa Rabbee `izzan wa sharafan nooran wa surooran, sultaanan wa ridwaana. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)
Dastoor yaa RijaalAllah, madad. As-salaamu `alaykum! As-salaamu `alayna wa `ala 'l-muslimeen wa 'l-mu'mineen wa `ala Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa’l-Akhireen. We are saying dastoor, yaa RijaalAllah, wa minka yaa Saahibu 'l-Imdaad!
As-salaamu `alaykum yaa haadiroon, those who are attending, who are the Children of Adam, in the east and west, in the north and south. `Ismaa wa asiya, holy order from the Seal of Prophets (s), most beloved, most glorified, most honored, Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa ’l-Akhireen, Sayyidina Muhammad (s), (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits) wa sahaabatihi ajma`een.
O People! It is a humble meeting and we have been ordered to be here. Who is keeping Allah's responsibility, He is ordering. Their order is not by writing or by phoning, but it is from their holy stations which is reaching and making a line to anyone's heart. It is a grant from Allah Almighty. He may say, "This one, quickly, that one is prepared to take and to give, to receive and then to grant." Therefore, everyone from Mankind is under holy khitaab, addressing; more than addressing, they are under holy power that is reaching from heavens to our world. And that power may reach to anyone, and he may speak.
We must believe, that is most important thing! And we are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem. If you are asking protection from Shaytan you must say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem. Then if anyone forgets to say, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem, that means he forgot our Lord, the Lord of Creation, then finished! It may be such a balloon, but if a needle pokes it, poof! Anyone who forgets Who created him, her, or it, finished! "It" means nature; their level is under the level of Mankind. All Mankind is mumayyaz, a distinguished existence in Creation. Mankind is the exception of all creatures, accepted and honored.
The Lord of Heavens is saying, (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Bismillahi'r-Rahmaani'r-Raheem, wa laqad karamna Bani Adam. "We have honored the Children of Adam." (al-Isra, 17:70) (Mawlana Shaykh sits.). That is a holy verse that Allah Almighty is sending through His prophets, but the most powerful addressing or inspiration are coming to the Seal of Prophets (s), yes, Shaykh Adnan Effendi. All prophets were knowing that Allah Almighty accepted and honored the Children of Adam. That is just mentioned through every revelation coming from heavens to prophets, just reaching to Sayyidina Adam (a), and coming to Sayyidina Nuh (a) and to Sayyidina Ibrahim (a), peace be upon them, and to Sayyidina Yaqub (a) and the twelve tribes. One of them belongs to prophets only, and the second one belongs to Sayyidina Isma`il (a). All prophets, from the Old Testament to the New Testament, are knowing the honor of Mankind. But absolute power about Mankind and their positions is only granted to the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.)
I am ashamed on behalf of all Mankind and their learned people, `ulamas of Ahlu’l-Sunnah wa’l-Jama`ah. Also I am ashamed on behalf of those who are saying, "We are Shi`a `ulamas." I am ashamed on behalf of Shi`a and other sects in the Islamic world. And then I am ashamed on behalf of Christians, and I am ashamed also on behalf of Jewish people from their `ulamas, and I am ashamed for those who are saying, "We are Salafi `ulamas." For what? Because up to today, I am not hearing from anyone of those people who are claiming they are `ulamas, learned people, muftis, or doctors, or pope and cardinals, and also from rabbis. Why are they not saying this holy verse which mentioned in the Old Testament and New Testament? Also, that is showing the highest honor granted to all creatures in Creation, only for Mankind. Why are they not saying? Why?
I am just nothing; I am on the lowest level. I was trying to learn something from someone who was from those people that Allah Almighty ordered to be with them:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اتَّقُواْ اللّهَ وَكُونُواْ مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ
Yaa ayyuha'l-ladheena amanu kunu ma’a s-saadiqeen.
O believers, fear Allah and be with the trustworthy people (in word and deed). (9:119)
And 40 years I was with him to learn, and in 40 years he was giving to me 7000 associations! Every association was also about Mankind and the honors of Mankind. And in the whole Holy Qur'an, that verse is showing and pointing also to the honor of Mankind! Asta`eedhu billah:
وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ وَحَمَلْنَاهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ
wa laqad karamna Bani Adam.
We have honored human beings. (al-Isra, 17:70)
For forty years I was hearing that point from him, and he tried to do that. He was such a planter, planting in my heart the honor and their levels through all of Creation.
The Lord of Heavens is saying, but people are not taking any care about themselves because they are not guided by true ones! Those who are claiming they are guiders are not understanding from where they must begin. If you are not knowing about yourself, about your value, you are not taking any care for yourself and for others also. Everyone in the Divinely Presence is respectable and honored! Don't look at the appearance of Man, no!
إن الله تبارك وتعالى لا ينظر إلى صوركم ولا إلى أجسامكم ولكن ينظر إلى قلوبكم وإلى أعمالكم. مسلم
Inna Allaha laa yandhuru ila suwarikum, wa laa ila ajsaamikum wa laakin yanzhuru ila quloobikum wa ila a`malikum.
Allah gives no concern to your appearances nor your bodies, but He only looks to what is in your heart and to your actions.
Hadith nabawi shareef, that Allah Almighty is not looking at your appearance or what you are dressing, no! But Allah Almighty is looking at your hearts. Where is it? With which thing your heart is occupied?
O `ulamas from Ahlu ’s-Sunnah, Shi'a and other sects and Salafi `ulamas and then Christians, and before Christianity, Judaism. Are you knowing what Sayyidina Musa (a) said about the honor of Mankind? Open the Old Testament and say to me. Allah Almighty is never creating anything without giving a description of them. And He created Man and sent for them His holy books. For what? To teach people about their identities, their personalities. Say, chief rabbi! Where is that verse? O Christians, say. Chief rabbi and His Holiness, the Pope, say what is written in the New Testament about Man and their honor?
And Ahlu’l-Sunnah wa’l-Jama`ah and Ahl Shi`a `ulama. Ahl Shi`a `ulama if they are knowing the value of one Man, they would not curse Sayyidina Abu Bakr (q), Sayyidina `Umar (r) or Sayyidina `Uthman (r). You must say something through your heart or:
إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ
inna batsha rabbika la-shadeed,
Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord. (85:12)
Keep your tongue from the Seal of Prophets (s) companions (r)! Keep your tongue or a time may come now to be cut down! Making Islam for swearing at Sahaaba (r), that is not in Islam! Look at what is written about all Mankind in the Holy Qur'an! If you are reciting Holy Qur'an, Shi`a `ulama, Christian `ulama, Salaf us-Saalih `ulama, `ulama Bani Israel, say the value of human beings! I am the weakest one but I can make this world shake! Therefore, we must learn about ourselves; don't look at what we are dressing, don't look at your color, don't look at your outer appearance, no!
Tawbah yaa Rabbee, tawbah yaa Rabbee, tawbah astaghfirullah. May Allah (swt) forgive us. Therefore, I am asking, O our Lord, forgive me and forgive all of us. People think that I am swearing at them, no. Essence is something and our actions are something else. Essence is under heavenly protection. Don't touch the essence, don't touch it. But some are speaking and not looking at the essence of Mankind, and mixing goodness with badness. We have a real being that Allah Almighty granted us and He ordered people, "You must give your respect to each other, you must give honor to everyone," because their essence is so sacred. Keep yourself and try to learn this! When you are learning this, then peace is coming. If you are not knowing this, you are killing each other and no peace will be on this world!
May Allah (swt) forgive me and forgive you.
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.
O People! All of us must try to learn and to know what they are making me to speak to you about. It is such an ocean which is never ending, from the beginning of this dunya up to the end. But we must try to reach it for that is an ocean! Therefore, don't think that what I am saying here is something. Look for you and for your brothers and sisters in Islam. Keep their honor and values, and that makes the Creator happy with you, and happy with us, yes. But to whom am I swearing? I am swearing to Shaytan and those who are running after Shaytan!
May Allah (swt) grant us from His Heavenly Presence a sultan of Islam! The Islamic world is now in chaos; no one is knowing its limits and no one is knowing its deepness. And they are trying to bring a solution for the Muslim world, which is impossible because they are on the wrong way! Allah Almighty orders one sultan to be in the Islamic world, who should be obeyed and requires baya`, initiation to him. (then there will be) no Palestinians, no Iraqian, no Iranian, no Turkish one, no Saudi, no Masri, no Libyi, no Jazaairi, no Yemeni, no Afghani, no Pakistani, everywhere, and middle continent of Asia, Uzbekistan, no. One sultan! Until they are coming, that is a heavenly order.
I am saying to all `ulamas, that is true or not? Holy Qur'an is saying that if two come and quarrel to be the sultan, take away one and keep one. Now they are bringing democracy and countless parties. From where? How are they understanding the Holy Qur'an? Therefore, until they have learned, a whip on them and they will be going down, never going to stand up one of them! Astaghfirullah.
Fatihah.
