Yaa RijaalAllah! O Men of Allah, save us with Divine Help! May Allah bestow His blessing on us and help us with His Help.
Most people are idiots! Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem. The first sign of idiocy is to not say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.” Everything that didn’t start with “Bismillah” is cut from Divine Support! Nowadays there are troubles and fighting between people and governments, and yet I did not hear a single president of any Muslim country, when he addresses his people, say, “A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem.”
O People! Seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan, and say, “A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem!” because without saying, “Bismillah,” nothing works, not a religious or a worldly deed! Now people have become deeply heedless! If they drink liquor, after a few hours they return to their senses, but the heedlessness that people are in nowadays is astonishing; their minds are not in their heads and they persist in trying to benefit from situations without mentioning Allah's Name.
Allah's Name is enough! We advise the world from the east to west and north to south, Allahu Akbar, to say “Bismillah” is enough! Everything that doesn’t start with “Bismillah” will be cut from divine blessing and will not succeed! To say “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem” is a gift to us from Allah (swt) because He honors His servant when he mentions Allah's Name. Whoever says, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem,” Allah (swt) will not leave him without help and He will answer, “O My servant! Ask and you will be given whatever you asked! Whatever you want, say it and I will give it to you! Ask and you will be given!”
And I never heard, from the kings or presidents of today, when addressing their people, that they ever said, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem.” I wonder, are they ashamed, or do they neglect it because their address is very quick, or from their ignorance? Do they do that deliberately, intentionally? Because that is great heedlessness on their part! With “Bismillah” all Creation stands up on its feet, throughout all Earths and Heavens! To say, “Bismillah!” is astonishingly powerful! We don't need any technology: it is that powerful!
Where are the Muslims? Where are their presidents and scholars? Upon what is their belief based? SubhaanAllah. Hasan al-Basri (r) was a famous scholar, in whose time there was also a wali named Habib al-`Ajami (“the non-Arab”), who was one of the followers of Sahaabah (r) and an honorable scholar who also had spiritual states. If any person prayed with him, even if he had seven mistakes in his Qur’an recitation and if anyone said, “O Imam, how are you praying?” he replied, “O Servants of Allah! An imaam is not he who perfects his recitation, but rather he who perfects his heart as Allah looks at your hearts!”
One day Hasan al-Basri (r) sat where the Euphrates and Tigris rivers met, and suddenly Habib al-`Ajami (r) came there. They waited for the ferry to cross the river. Habib al-`Ajami said, “As salaamu `alaykum, O imaam. What are you waiting for?”
Hasan al-Basri said, “O Habib al-`Ajami! I am waiting for the ferry and will board it to cross to the other side of the river.”
Habib al-`Ajami said, “You are an imaam and you say this? Don't you have the power to say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem” and cross?” Then he walked on the water!
When “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem” is recited, there comes an incredible, miraculous power. It is among the greatest grants from the Lord! Who has this secret may say to something, “Be, and it is!” What do we need technology for, there is no need? Let the westerners be busy, tire themselves and give their all for their inventions; we do not need this because we have a grant from Allah (swt) to say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.” We may say to something, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem,” and it happens with Kun fayakoon, “Be, and it is.” (YaSin, 36:82) People have forgotten all the power to organize the world, for the majority of the Muslim world, the Sword of Allah (swt), “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.”
O Believers! You have knowledge, but you do not possess certainty. Hasan al-Basri (r) had `ilm, knowledge, but yaqeen, certainty, was with Habib al-`Ajami (r), who said, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem,” and walked on the river as if it was an asphalt road. And now the ummah has forgotten to say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.” The support is always there for, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem,” with which all matters will be in order and we do not need anything else.
O our Lord! You know best, teach us, but we are not fit to learn, we are like dry wood. Let them run after democracy. I spit on democracy! Shame on them, shame on them, seventy times shame! They leave the power of Islam, the magnificence of “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem,” and run after democracy or a constitution to regulate their matters, things that have no value! “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem” is the Constitution of Islam: say it and walk! Wa min Allahi 't-tawfeeq.
O my Lord! Teach us. One saint can teach, but people don’t listen! Astaghfirullah. This is an important point. My Arabic is very little but inshaa-Allah, the people will understand. Amaan yaa Rabbee! Amaan yaa Rabbee! Tawbah yaa Rabbee, tawbah yaa Rabbee, tawbah astaghfirullah. Tawbah yaa Rabbee, tawbah yaa Rabbee, tawbah astaghfirullah. Tawbah for everyone! Yaa Rabbee, tawbah yaa Rabbee! O Lord! Send one who can teach us the reality of Islam, the true method of Islam, the steps of Islam, the honor of Islam, the power of Islam and the glory of Islam!
Fatihah.
