Alfu, alfu salaat, alfu, alfu salaam `ala Sayyidi 'l-awwaleen wa’l-aakhireen wa`ala aalihi wa saahbihi ajama`een. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)
O our Attenders! As-salaamu `alaykum, to who are asking to hear some heavenly khitaab, addressing cleaning our ears, cleaning our minds, cleaning our hearts, cleaning our material being, our bodies. Therefore, O attenders, try to reach a happy life, a restful life, full with pleasures life, full with pleasement. Come and listen as you like, as you like! And we are asking for heavenly support from our responsible one. Everyone’s lives on this planet, under the seas and oceans or over oceans or across continents or flying ones, everything, it is under that one's responsibility.
Therefore, we must keep adab with our representative, he who is our representative in heavenly levels, and he is sending from heavenly imdaad, support, heavenly powers that makes us to exist. If heavenly support is not reaching to anything, it is going to finish and vanish. Therefore, he has responsibility for everything in existence in this dunya: on this planet, in oceans and through continents. Therefore, we are asking for that one's support for our weak personality. If he is not giving a support from heavens to our personality, (sound cut) then we are imitated ones going around this world. If a heavenly support is not coming to feed our real identity that belongs to heavens, then we are nothing!
Marhaban, welcome for everyone who asking to hear something, yes. Man has such a personality and they are asking to know, to learn, but Shaytan is trying to make all Mankind on this planet not to learn or to understand. And now as the Holy Qur'an is mentioning, we are in `ahdu 'l-jahiliyyah, an age of ignorance. Now we are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajeem not to make our understanding in a wrong way. Shaytan and its followers, that dangerous enemy tries to make everyone’s speech that belongs to heavenly levels a misunderstanding! That is Shaytan's mission, yes!
The Holy Qur’an, the Old Testament and New Testament all have reached people. Those holy books are well known, making clear the truths sent from heavens to earth, yes. But Shaytan is coming in so many people's understanding, saying, “What do you think about that verse?" He may say, “That verse is a clear command,” because Allah Almighty is never sending something that cannot be understood. Only Allah Almighty is saying,
لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ la`allakum tadhakaroon , "That perhaps you might remember, that you might be admonished."
You must think on it, that every holy verse is bringing a gigantic ocean from its meanings, but you must not say that this is an ocean: in the ocean there are countless creatures, countless fishes, countless living units. That is a reality, but Shaytan is saying, “Don’t believe what they are saying, that this ocean contains countless creatures, and that Who created this ocean is also giving life to countless kinds of creation that you can’t imagine."
Even your imagination can’t reach the last point of what has been created in that ocean! But Shaytan is saying, “Look, but don’t believe that there are so many kinds of fish and other units!” When heavenly revelation reached prophets, and particularly the Seal of Prophets (s) and the Holy Qur’an was granted, Allah Almighty was saying so many things that if an ordinary one was looking, he will say, "We have not seen such a meaning before!" Your telescope is showing you a distance, and there is another more powerful telescope reaching deeper in space, revealing this and that, but with a naked eye you are looking (and cannot see it).
I remember when I was seven or eight years old, I was seeing small spots of stars, and we had at that time an oochak, a stick for cooking. We have such small things that we are putting in it fire and putting on it, an oven and it was like this (gestures). I was thinking it must be one of them, it was a small oven, that was my opinion according to my imagination. Then people were asking to look deep into space and invented telescopes. I am remember also the first telescope; it was like this, 1m and 50cm. In old books, particularly in encyclopedias, they are showing from beginning up to our days, and we humans are seeing it is such a gigantic, a`waalim, universe, so big. One of those astronomers was working and he has his value, he is a famous one working in the telescope center. Once he was looking around and looking at that gigantic one, but it is written on it a warning, "Please don’t look with (naked) eyes at this." He knows. He said, "Now no one is here, even if they are warning it doesn’t matter. I must try for myself." As soon as he was put his eyes and looked, he fainted. And people ran to him, asking what happened, and learned he was looking secretly through the telescope and he fell down!
Through such a telescope we also are looking and seeing so many things. Mankind has such a khusoosiyya, specialty, a thirst for knowledge.Then they launched satellites, putting telescopes on them and sending them up. Then they are astonished, ta`ajjab, when the photographs are coming, and saying what we are seeing and looking at it is nothing (compared to the vastness of the universe). In reality, it is only one foot in distance that they are looking and turning and so on. Man is asking to learn more and more. Holy books are coming and everyone may look in it and may understand something. But that is not the last limit for understanding, in holy books. But Shaytan is urging people to look at only the letters, what it is written: letters, ayaat, verses. Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem. Alhamdulillahi rabbi 'l-`alameen. What are you understanding? All glory is endlessly for His Majesty, for the Lord of Creation. Nothing else is in it? Endless kalaamullah, Allah Almighty’s heavenly words! And is it not coming from the highest position?
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ
Wa laqad yassarnaa 'l-Qur'an li 'dh-dhikr,
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember. (54:15, 17, 22, 32, 40, 51)
"We are sending the Holy Qur'an to think on it." It is not just to look with the naked eye, no!
Don't be such a person who is yushaajir, arguing, saying "We do not believe what people are saying, that there are so many creatures in that ocean, because we are not seeing." They are saying that shaytanic principle, to make people not believe anything if they don't see it hear it, or touch it! Therefore, they are saying, “That is only a huge water in this place, we are not accepting that there are so many things in it.” Shaytan is coming in front of holy books, saying to people , “Don’t believe what your prophet is saying! It has been taken from holy books. Don’t listen! Believe only in verses one-after-one; beyond that don’t say, 'yes, we believe.'”
La hawla wa la quwatta illa billahi 'l-`Aliyyu 'l-`Azheem. That is our attenders' big fault! Mankind will be questioned, "What have you learned from Holy Qur’an? Which holy command were you keeping? What is your understanding, come and say!" Therefore, Allah Almighty sent prophets and sent holy books to them, because only that prophet has authority to open that ocean to show people. But sometimes people are a'amaa, blind ones, not accepting, saying, “We are not seeing anything.” That is what our attenders do!
Tonight our teachers are making me to speak in such a way. I left Salafi `ulamas tonight, because they are responsible really to look over the kingdom, in schools, in colleges, in high schools, in universities, in academies, to see what the group is teaching their students about the Holy Qur'an. Why are they putting Holy Qur'an to a place that young ones cannot see, reach, open, read and understand? Therefore, Salafi `ulamas, they are first responsible in the Divinely Presence, because they are not taking care in programs or lessons. Is what they are teaching more important than Holy Qur'an's teachings? Why are they not looking? Maybe this, or His Majesty, the king, and his ministers or umarahs, all of them will be responsible because they are not teaching the Holy Qur'an! And everything they are teaching in universities and high colleges is nothing next to the oceans of the Holy Qur'an! It is nothing! I am sorry to say this. If a power is through my hand, I am going to close all of them, destroy them and bring (a curricula based on) Holy Qur'an for understanding. I am going to bring Holy Qur’an into teaching!
It may be that person is munaafiq, a hypocrite, or jaahil, ignorant, or Shaytan! I am sorry to say, in Islamic territories all of them are not putting Holy Qur'an as the first line of teaching. Therefore, not coming on them heavenly blessings, no blessings, never! I am shouting to Shaykh ul-Azhar, Shaykh ul-Islam in Damascus, Iran, Yemen, Pakistan, Turkistan, Libya, in Africa; in all countries I am asking, why are you not putting Holy Qur’an for teaching in first line (priority)? Why is that `ikhtiyaari, optional? It must be ijbaari, mandatory! I am asking all authorities over people and they are tawjeeh, directing their nations to anything other than what Holy Qur'an is directing them. Therefore, on Islamic world also is coming cursing. If one curse comes to non-Muslims, then two are coming to Muslims!! And on Islamic territories coming to people one curse and ten on their leaders!! May Allah forgive us.
O People! We must try to teach people. We are saying Holy Qur'an only at al-Haramayni Ashrafayni (haram shareef at Mecca and Madinah), the two most sacred places for Muslims to read Holy Qur'an. No one is opening Holy Qur'an and saying, “That is oceans!" and to show them what is written. Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem, what does it mean? Alhamdulillahi Rabbi 'l-`Alameen, what does it mean? Ar-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem, what does it mean? Maaliki yawmi 'd-deen, what does it mean? Iyyaka na`abudu wa iyyaka nasta`een, what does it mean? Who is that One? It is an important question that I may ask Salafi `ulamas, that kaaf, liman huwa, (the Kaf, from whom is it?). Why is it not saying iyyahu na`budu wa iyyahu nasta`een (to Him)? So many meanings are coming that if it has been said iyyahu you must bring about, Who is Hu? Iyyaka, "to Allah Almighty" iyyahu na`abudu badal iyyahu nasta`een. If it has been said, iyyahu, you must bring meaning. Who is that Hu if it is saying kaaf, who is that mukhaatab, to whom are we addressing, iyyakaa, kaaf? You must look to that one, why are you not saying iyyahu na`budu wa iyyahu nasta`een. You have such a knowledge, then say! Say what the Salaf us-Saliheen said!
Such a person, perhaps you may say kharfaan. But I am asking why are you not saying iyyaka na`budu badal iyyahu na`budu nasta`een? Because first there is, Alhamdulillahi Rabbi 'l-`Alameen Ar-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem, Maaliki yawm id-deen. For Who is this? Then coming, Iyyaka na`abudu wa iyyaka nasta`een. Bring a tafseer for understanding, like such an old and jaahil one is making my heart to be in satisfaction. I am asking don’t swear at me, no! It is free for understanding. If I am saying what has been permitted, you cannot say, "That is going out of Islam." What is bringing you to Islam, say to me! May Allah forgive us.
O People! Every training in schools are empty, faadee, useless. We are not asking for tiban, straw We are asking for hanta, wheat. We are asking for seeds, but you are trying to give people straw. People are not animals! They are asking for seeds to eat because we are humans, not animals! Tawbah yaa Rabbee, yaa Rabbee, yaa Rabbee, tawbah astaghfirullah! Give us a good understanding to work only for You, to achieve Your servanthood. Forgive us! Send us one who will teach us what we promised to our Lord on the Day of Promises.
May Allah (swt) forgive us for the honor of the most honored one, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.)
Fatihah.
They are making me sad. Therefore, I am not able to say to you:
Dome, dome, dome, dome.
Dome, dome, dome, dome.
Dome, dome, dome, dome.
Dome, dome, dome, dome.
Through Mamlaka (Kingdom) people are occupying themselves with shaytanic music and they are not asking to hear heavenly music!
(Mawlana continues to sing.)
Antallah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah,
Antallah, anta Rabee, Anta hasbee, yaa Allah!
Anta Rabbee, Anta hasbee, yaa Allah!
Fatihah.
(44 minutes) Alhamdulillah, yaa Rabbee.
