(Translated from Turkish)
O Servants of Allah! As-salaamu `alaykum. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. May He (swt) dress us
from the power of the Bismillah. There are Holy Ones that Allah Almighty appointed for this, alhamdulillah. You can be a king or you can be a sultan, but you are still a servant.
As-salaamu `alaykum. May the heavenly safety of Allah (swt) descend upon us. Dastoor, yaa RijaalAllah!
O holy servants of Allah! You are loaded with blessings. O you whom Allah loves! You are loaded with noor! Who is the Master (s) whom Allah loves? He is the Sultan of the Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! He came loaded with noor from the Malakoot. Allah, Allah! What an honor.
This is a suhbah. What is the order to us? When two believers meet they should have a suhbah, even if it is for the amount of time it takes to milk two sheep. Suhbah saves people from being wild and untamed. It saves them from being ridiculed by Shaytan. For this reason it is ordered, “Greet with salaam, ‘As-salaamu `alaykum,’ ‘wa `alaykum as-salaam.’” May Allah's Salaam descend upon us, may noor from the Great Prophet (s) fall on us and may the blessings of those who are on his way descend upon us. Whoever keeps the way has kept the way of Paradise. Whoever leaves that way is on the way of Hellfire!
Dastoor, yaa RijaalAllah! Don't do anything without dastoor, permission. Ask for dastoor. Dastoor is the grant of those who possess spiritual power, it is Allah Almighty's grant to them through our Prophet (s). When we say “dastoor,” there is noor that we will receive from him.
فَالْتَمِسُوا نُورً
Faltamisoo nuraan.
Seek light. (Surat al-Hadeed, 57:13)
This is the Holy Qur’an. Did we say, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem? We did. The Bismillah is the Mercy Oceans which have no boundaries nor end. It has Ismullah al-`Azham (Allah's Greatest Name) in it. They ask, “Where should we look for the Ismullah al-`Azham?” Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem. The Ismullah al-`Azham is in this: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. How beautiful, what an honor! He (swt) informed Mankind about it. The Bismillah is loaded with noor; it is Noor Oceans, Shaykh Mehmet Effendi.
O Attending Ones! O People, believers who are attending and who are listening! These suhbahs were spoken, or maybe they were not spoken, maybe they haven't reached us, but the awliyaullah who say words of Haqq have never been absent. Whoever cannot submit to Haqq cannot be a waliullah. Whoever submits to the Truth is the servant that Allah accepts. Whoever doesn't submit to the Truth is Shaytan's dog or he is Shaytan's donkey. We are seeking because Allah Almighty says (...) since we said the Bismillah, then it opens. Even if we spoke until Judgement Day, it wouldn’t finish. How can it?
مَا عِندَكُمْ يَنفَدُ وَمَا عِندَ اللّهِ بَاقٍ
Maa `indakum yanfadu wa maa `indallaahi baaq.
What is with you must vanish, what is with Allah will endure. (Surat an-Nahl, 16:96)
Is it not so? “What is with you will finish and what is with Allah will be Everlasting.” Open your eyes, O you who are two-legged ones but run after what the four-legged ones do and try to be like them! Open your eyes and look to what is with Allah. Wa maa `indallaahi baaq, what is with Allah is Eternal. Al-Baqaa is the Attribute of Allah (swt). Therefore, ask from the One Who is al-Baaqi, The Everlasting! Al-Baaqi Hu Allah. Ask from Allah Dhu ‘l-Jalaal.
What does Allah Almighty say? He (swt) said to the Holy Pen, “Write, ‘Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.’” He (swt) said, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem.” I want to stand up each time I say it but may Allah Almighty forgive me because of my weakness. Always stand up when you remember the Holy Name of Allah Almighty. The old sultans would stand up on their thrones when the Holy Name of Allah Almighty was mentioned, saying, “Amaan, yaa Rabbee! Who dresses on me this sultanate, I glorify You!” Is there anyone who thinks of this? Which king now says this? O Lord! Such sultans who would stand up on their thrones when the Holy Name of Allah Almighty was remembered, came and passed. They would stand up. The ones now sit without moving at all. What are you? What are you that you sit when the Holy Name of Allah Almighty is remembered?
“Why don't you stand up when you say the Bismillah?”
“Well, I am a ruler, I am a king, I am....”
“No! You are a servant. You are a servant. You are a servant. Whose servant are you? You are a servant of the Lord Almighty so then you should stand up in high respect for your Lord.”
When a sultan sits on his throne, and if a person comes and enters into his presence, does that person just greet him and find a place to sit or does he remain standing in full respect until the sultan says, “Sit,” until he gives him the sign to sit? Adab. Adab. What elevates a person is adab, O son!
Awliya said this about adab, I think it was Yunus Emre, may Allah sanctify his secret, who said, “I sought and asked in the assembly of the wise ones.” They said, “Knowledge comes last, only adab (first), only adab.” A person comes near to the great ones with adab, not with knowledge. They say about such a man, “He is a learned man, but didn't learn adab; he is a brutish one.” Don't be brutish, be effendi (well mannered). Know about good manners. What do the good manners of a person consist of? It is not with his wealth or the throne or chair he sits on. The value and honor of Man is with his adab. Be a person with good manners! Say! Say that knowledge comes last. He came with adab. For this the Prophet (s) (...) I may stand up. O Glorious Prophet! We should stand up for you even if it is thousands of times!
O Kings! When the name of that glorious Prophet is mentioned, stand up on your throne! Don't be proud! Maybe angels will take your soul as you sit on the throne and you will fall over and collapse. People will rush, saying, “What happened? His soul is gone and his body remains.” Think, O Kings! Don't be arrogant! The wrath of Heavens is coming on this Earth because they call it, “The 21st century.” How many thousands of years have passed, only Allah (swt) and the Sultan of the Prophets whom He informed know. The awliya whom he (s) taught know. The awliya who keep his adab know. Say! Say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem,” and Allah Almighty will call you, “My servant who has adab.” Say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem,” and say it openly! Also above the throne on which you sit, put a sign of “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.” This was his title.
Which country did Queen Balqis reign over? (Saba.) The Queen of Sheba. She was magnificent. There was no other person who had the magnificent sultanate that she had. To put her in her place, Prophet Sulayman (a) sent his holy letter to her. What was his title? O Kings! O Scholars! O those who think of themselves highly and became arrogant! Be careful, what did he say in his holy letter?
إِنَّهُ مِن سُلَيْمَانَ وَإِنَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Innahu min Sulaymaan wa innahu Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem.
Verily it is from Sulaymaan and verily it begins with the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful.
(Surat an-Naml, 27:30)
Is the verse not like this? A severe punishment is coming! Allah Almighty will discipline. The people of the 21st century have become mannerless, the learned ones as well as the uneducated ones. He (swt) will discipline them. They will be disciplined. I don't want, I have the authority, no king should sit on his throne without the Bismillah! He should stand in front of his throne and say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.” Innahu min Sulaymaan wa innahu Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem.
Everyone in his presence should stand on their feet. He should establish such adab and have no fear. He should not fear! It is not that we don't have power! There is a wali who rules over the jinn. If he wants, he can hold him by his ears like this and throw him into the sea! Don't be proud! “I sell lamp oil.” A person cannot be great by selling lamp oil. Even if he has loads of gold worth millions or billions, he may not be considered a man. The value and honor of Man is with adab and the beginning of adab is “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.” If you don't teach it, you go to Hellfire as well as those whom you teach.
Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem. Say, “I am at Your Service, O our Lord,” and stand up on your feet. Allah Almighty says, “Faltamisoo nooran” (57:13) in the holy verse, the order. It says, “Then seek a light (noor)!” Astonishing, astonishing. Where are our scholars? Where are our rulers? Where are the kings? Where are those who think highly of themselves? Where is what you seek? Allah Almighty told you, "Seek noor!" These people seek naar, fire! The people of this time are seeking fire, they are not seeking light. Their goal is to burn the world. What is the goal of all these huge, great nations? Their goal is that they want to rule over the whole world and they want to burn the whole world. Really? Who gave you this authority? They will be the first to go with the first cannon fired!
“Take shelter.”
“Where should we take shelter?”
Allah Almighty said, “Seek noor.”
Say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem,” so that you can take every noor from it. Allah Almighty said to the people, to the kings and to the servants, “O People! Laa ilaaha illa-Llah husnee! Wa man dakhala husnee, amin min adhaabee."
کلمه لا اله الا الله حسني فمن دخله حسني آمن من عذابي
Laa ilaaha illa-Llah husnee, wa man dakhala husnee, amin min adhaabee.
The Kalimat, “Laa ilaaha illa-Llah” is My Fortress. Whoever entered into My Fortress is safe from My Punishment. (Holy Hadith)
O Kings! Are you reciting this? If three or five people gather in Haram al-Shareef and say, “Laa ilaaha illallah,” harmful ones come and say, “What are you doing? This is bid`a!” What is the business of those who can't distinguish between bid`a and fard? May they be taken away! May those who don't revoke this order be taken away in forty days!
Laa ilaaha illa-Llah hasnee, “Laa ilaaha illa-Llah is My castle,” wa man dakhala husnee, amin min `adhaabee. Start marching! They can fire cannons if they like. Say, “Laa ilaaha illa-Llah! Laa ilaaha illa-Llah! Laa ilaaha illa-Llah!” Don't even take a rifle in your hand. Say, “We are Muslims. May the cannons and planes that unbelievers invented explode on their own heads! Our power is spiritual.” Say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem,” then say, “Laa ilaaha illa-Llah! Laa ilaaha illa-Llah! Laa ilaaha illa-Llah Muhammadun Rasoolullah!”
You should change, O Kings, O Rulers! You should know your place! He (swt) says, “Laa ilaaha illa-Llah husnee, it is My castle,” wa man dakhala husnee, amin min `adhaabee “They will be safe from My wrath. If I pull My wrath back, what is the value of the cannons others fire, or the weapons they may use?”
Say, O Muslims, “Laa ilaaha illa-Llah. Laa ilaaha illa-Llah,” before you sit on your throne! O Kings! If you want an honorable life, if you want acceptance on the part of Allah, if you want noor, it is not up to your wish but it is Allah's Order: faltamisoo nooran. Allah says, “Seek Light!” The people of this time seek Hellfire. Shame on our humanity! May Allah forgive us. We may say, “Faltamisoo nooran.” It is Allah's order to seek Light. The people have become of two kinds, Shaykh Mehmet Effendi: the People of Light and the People of Fire! The People of Light are brilliant and shiny in dunya also, and in Akhirah they will be dressed with noor in the Divine Presence. The People of Fire is the condition of those who don't accept Allah Almighty, who don't show Him due respect, and they are in fire and fear in dunya. At the least they have the fear of, “What will come on my head?” They threw a shoe at one man's head somewhere but he thought he was a great man! Greatness belongs to Allah Almighty, not to the servant. Allah dresses greatness on His servant. Don't ever fear if He (swt) dresses you, others fear from him, others are scared of him.
Now there are seven kingdoms in the land of Arabia. This is a warning. Allah did not send you to search for petrol, or to search for uranium. Mankind is on the wrong way, especially those who claim to be Muslims! Allah Almighty informs us about what we should ask, “Faltamisoo nooran,” seek it and search for it. This is what you should ask for in dunya.
On the Day of Judgement people will be in two categories: one is the People of Light and one is the People of Fire. The People of Light will go to Paradise and the People of Fire will go to Hellfire. Put yourself into one of these! Who doesn't learn this in forty days (...)
Whoever doesn't take precautions about these instructions in forty days, whether a king or a sultan, he will hit all of their chests, saying, “Return to me the Trust! You couldn't protect the Trust.” Allah Almighty entrusted you so that you might seek light but you sought fire. You didn't say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem. O our Lord! We are Your servants.”
You should stand like this even if you are the sultan of seven nations! In the old times, sultans, our Ottoman ancestors who raised the flags of Islam for a thousand years, when they went to the tomb of Abu Ayyub Sultan (r), and they were magnificent ones, they would dismount their horses and kiss his doorstep. They had such respect, because they knew that there is noor in the Sahaabah (r). From whom do you seek noor? From the Sahaabah.
Some people who came out recently destroyed the maqaams of those who have noor. May their dunya collapse on their heads! The jinn will be inflicted on them. There is the power now. Those who do these shameless things say, “We are Muslims,” and destroy the maqaams of the holy ones. They may not survive this Ramadan; they should either remove their hands or not even one of them will remain until Rajab, the month of Allah. This is also a warning. They should say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.” They have the jealousy of Shaytan! Those who insult the awliya of Allah are shaytans.
Allah Almighty says:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اتَّقُواْ اللّهَ وَكُونُواْ مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ
Yaa ayyuhalladheena aamanoo ittaqoollaaha wa koonoo ma` as-saadiqeen.
O you who believe! Fear Allah and be with those who are pious (in word and deed).
(Surat at-Tawbah, 9:119)
How do you read the Qur’an? What kind of Muslims are these? He (swt) says, “Be with the true ones,” and who are they?
وَلاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاء
Wa laa tahsabanna ‘Lladheena qutiloo fee sabeelillaahi amwaatan bal ahyaaun
And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive.
(Surat Aali `Imraan, 3-169)
Don't say “dead” for the people whom Allah loved. These shameless men go and destroy their maqaams. Jinn will attack them. They will make them into pieces and throw them into the sea. O Kings! I have respect for you. I have full respect but our declaration is different.
ووَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَى تَنفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Wa dhakkir fa inna ‘dh-dhikra tanfa`u ‘l-mu’mineen.
And remind (people), for reminding benefits the Believers. (Surat adh-Dhariyat, 51:55)
They make us say this and since they make us say it, then we say it. I am saying it to save them. We don't want sultanate or anything. What we want is the order of Subhaan, the order of al-Baari: faltamisoo nooran, “Seek noor!”
Where are you, O Muslims? You destroy the maqaams of those who have noor? May they be destroyed by themselves! They are Muslims by name. They destroyed the maqaams of those holy ones, and they burned their books. May they get burned! They will be caught by jinn, and all of them will go crazy! They won't even be able to be controlled with chains.
This is also a warning. Don't be deceived by him sitting quietly like this. There are so many of them, they sit quietly in front of the Ka`bah, but if one of them points like this with his finger, he can throw the West to the East and the East to the West! They have the power, they are the khalifatullah, they are the deputies on Earth. The Master of the Creation (s) is the Deputy of Allah Almighty. The others are those who received a secret from our Prophet (s) and all the other prophets (a). There are such holy ones. There are so many of them on Earth. If those people are not scared yet, when they sleep at night they should be careful in their beds. If a black or red scorpion stings them, they will scream the place down from pain. This is also possible for the kings, so they should be careful. If they find such a thing in their beds, they should repent! Faltamisoo nooran, they should seek light. With what will you seek it? Say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem,” so that you can seek and you can find.
There is wrath to come! The sultanate of Shaytan will be destroyed regardless, so don't look to your weapons and cannons, look to the word that is being spoken. Allah Almighty does not tell us to prepare weapons and cannons. Faltamisoo nooran. He (swt) says, “Seek noor.”
وَأَعِدُّواْ لَهُم مَّا اسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن قُوَّةٍِ
Wa a`idda lahum mastata`tum min quwattin.
Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power. (Surat al-Anfaal, 8:60)
Quwwatin, power is not with weapons or cannons. What will scare the unbelievers is not weapons. They have the best of those, but the power for us will come from this noor. Who represents the noor is our Prophet (s). We show the highest respect for His order, faltamisoo nooran, and wa a`idda lahum mastata`tum min quwattin; you take the power from the Prophet (s) and from the People of Allah. If the People of Allah want, even the simplest one who stands in Allah's service, can throw the East of the world to the West and the West to the East. You should believe it! You should believe it! Your faith is not enough, because you forgot the “Bismillah.” Say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem,” and you'll be like a lion roaring on Earth. Innahu min Sulaymaan wa innahu Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem.
O our Lord! For the honor of Your Beloved, may You send us from Your holy ones to guide us. O Lord! May the ones who throw people in filth and destroy the Nation of Muhammad (s) disappear! May not even one of them remain! May not even one of those oppressors remain. Amaan, yaa Rabbee! Don't make us from the oppressors.
Allah says, “I won't. Whenever you remember My Name, I won't make you from the oppressors. Whenever you say, ‘Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem,’ I won't make you from the oppressors. And for whoever are your enemies, I will send on them armies that will finish them.” Maa laa tarawn, “The armies you don't see belong to Me.” (8:48)
وَلِلَّهِ جُنُودُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
Wa lillaahi junoodu ’s-samawaati wa ‘l-`ard.
For to Allah belong the Forces of the Heavens and the Earth (Surat al-Fath, 48:7)
Who does it belong to? To Allah Dhu ‘l-Jalaal. I am a person who is zero. I have nothing, but it is coming. Since it is coming, there is permission to say it. We should say it. If there is anyone who comes against it, not even one of them will remain until Rajab. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee! Tawbah, yaa Rabbee! Our kings also should teach us Your Ways and Your Beloved's good manners. May Allah give these kings more power and more life and may Allah give them more blessings and more majesty. I pray for them. If not, I don't interfere.
Allah! Allah! Allah! Allah Hu Allah, Allah Hu Allah, Allah Hu Allah, Allah Hu Allah! You are Subhaan, our Lord! You are Subhaan, our Lord! May You forgive us. May You send us who will teach us these ways. This is also under the command of Your Beloved, Rasoolullah (s). What is under his command is different. Hu Rabbee laa yazal! Rabbuna lam yazal wa laa yazal. We should say, “Allah, Allah, Allah!
Which cannon can fall on them? The cannon will fall on the heads of the traitors. Azh-zhulmu laa yadoom, the oppression cannot last; if it does, it destroys. The oppressors life time will be short. Oppression cuts off their lifetime, they will be taken away. Leave the servants of Allah at rest, don't be a harmful creature. There are ones behind you who are watching you. There are thousands of waliullah who can hit you with the Bismillah. No need for a thousand, one of them is enough. One of them can overcome them.
O Lord! Forgive us. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee! Tawbah, astaghfirullah. We may say, “Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem.” O our Lord! May You accept our weakness. What can we do?
Fatihah.
My anger is strong now. The jalaali, majestic manifestation is descending. Amaan, yaa Rabbee! Tawbah, yaa Rabbee! May Allah protect you, may He (swt) protect your children and all the children, people of Islam, yaa Rabbee!
Fatihah.
