The Month of Safar

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqani

Istanbul, September 1988

We are in the month of Safar. It is the heaviest month. In the month of Safar many troubles come. It is said that 700,000 troubles will come. May Allah give them to those who intend harm towards believers, and may He not give them to us.

Say 3 times Shahada: ashhadu la ilaha ill 'Llah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasoolullah and 300 times istaghfirullah and every day give charity. If you can't find someone to give it to, put it somewhere first thing in the morning. Then when you find, give, because a lot of accidents happen in this month. You can only stop accidents and troubles by means of charity. One charity closes 70 doors of troubles. Therefore how much you can afford or much you want, give from your heart. Give a charity to counter the day's troubles. Take care about that.

May Janab-a haqq (Allah) show us bright days. And may all the world be guided and brought to this brightness.

The enemies of mankind are in the form of humans but in reality they are wild animals. May we be protected from their evil. There is a verse in the Holy Qur'an: asta`idh billah:

وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ

wa idhaa 'l-wuhooshu hushirat.

And when the wild beasts are gathered. (Surat at-Takwir, 81:5)

It is a sign for Doomsday that wuhoosh, wild animals, will gather. It is an indication that the brutality of today is from people who look like they are from mankind but really are wild animals. The world is full of wolves, full of jackals, full of hyenas, full of foxes, full of bears. There are a lot of bears. Because neither grass nor meat is safe from bears. This kind of animal also eats nuts. Therefore there are so many wild bears now. Halal or haram, they don't ask. They eat everything. There are a lot of different kinds of bears. Together with wolves, hyenas, jackals and lions there are a lot of all these kinds of predators. They are like tigers, like vipers, like snakes, like centipedes, like scorpions and like vermin. The vermin are countless now.

وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ

wa idhaa 'l-wuhooshu hushirat.

And when the wild beasts are gathered. (Surat at-Takwir, 81:5)

The meaning of this verse was given to my heart yesterday. I keep on reading that the gathering of the wuhoosh, their coming together and coming out is a sign of Doomsday. They are showing today mankind's wildness attributes. Every day buying newspapers to see what kind of murder man is doing: man the oppressor. Is he man or of the kind I am talking about?

What the newspapers write about every day is like a drop in the ocean. If they would write everything that is happening it would be uncountable. There is so much brutality now in this world because mercy has left the hearts and the people have turned brutal. That is why the world is filled up with human-looking, animal-acting wild animals of that kind, meaning:

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ

And when the wild beasts are gathered. (Surat at-Takwir, 81:5)

وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ

And when the pages are made public. (Surat at-Takwir, 81:10)

Suhuf in Arabic means newspaper. [In past times] there weren't any newspapers. Rather everybody was reading the Holy Qur'an. Now whoever opens his eyes, even before cleaning them, looks at the newspaper. "What is happening?" "Oh! Has the gold rate lowered?" He gives the light of his eyes away for it: newspapers.

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ

wa idhaa 's-suhuf nushirat.

And when the pages are made public (Surat at-Takwir, 81:10)

When newspapers came out that was also a sign of Doomsday. Newspapers came out and the Holy Qur'an is not read anymore. Everybody reads newspapers, reads magazines, reads novels, reads comics.

So, yes. You don't understand what I am saying [in Turkish], Ooooh, if I were to say it in English there would be an earthquake in Europe.

In other words, whoever lives like man, how happy his life will be if he takes care of his humanity. Instead, they come as a man and leave as an animal. They came useful. You came as a man, so live like man and leave like a man. To be a man means to be courageous and brave. Allah sent you as a human. [Allah is saying,] "Look at my servant. How does he come? Does he come as a man or as an animal?"

May Allah forgive us. Ya Rabbee ya Allah!

Yes, believe in Allah and live like man. Believe in Allah and pass away clean from this world. Believe in Allah and be together with clean ones on Judgment Day.

One person said to the sultan Yavuz Sultan Selim: "It is Time to be with Allah." Yavuz Sultan Selim, may his abode be Paradise, replied to him, "With whom did you think we were with until now?" With Allah! Who is with Allah his sword will be sharp. That is why you can't stand in front of him. Who is not with Allah, will be despicable.

May Allah give us faith.
