Dastoor yaa Sayyidee, madad! (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, Sultan Allah
O our Lord, give highest honor and glorifying for Your representative from pre-Eternal up to Eternal, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). Sayyidi 'l-awwaleen wa’l-akhireen, Sayyidina Muhammad (s), zidhu `izzan wa sharafan, nooran wa surooran, "Give him more dignity, honor, light, nobility and happiness." We are asking forgiveness, O our Lord, for his honor. We are asking much more power, much more chance to be for Your service. You know that we are weak servants. Forgive us and give us much more chance to run for Your heavenly service.(Mawlana Shaykh sits.)
As-salaamu `alaykum yaa Sayyidee, Qutb al-Mutasarrif for this dunya. We are asking divinely support for kicking Shaytan, kicking that one from ourselves. And also we are asking much more power defending ourselves from our dirty egos and its demands or requests. That is important. If not coming that divinely help and support, we can't do anything. And we are humble servants coming together in such a place for reminding people for what they have been created and also what is going to be their positions after this muwaqqat, temporary life. Life, it is so nice and such pleasure for everyone to be in existence.
That is so big grant from our Creator and we are here, we know that we are on this planet. We are for a short time and after tasting the enjoyment and sweetness for being in existence, to lose that it is so, so sorrowful position. After tasting taste of life, then suddenly to lose it, it is so heavy, endless sorrow for everyone. Therefore, we are trying to be in existence. In existence. We don't like, commonly, no one asking to lose his life. Everyone likes to be always a living one. But it is impossible because their creation just organized for a short life. We are a physical being, inner organs and outer, their body can't carry even one century, coming down, coming down, coming down!
Therefore, it is impossible for this life to be eternal, can't be. But Allah Almighty is not someone to show His servants something and making them to taste something and then cut off that pleasure from them; that is not from Allah Almighty's Divinely Attributes. This is a good mentality and good understanding for everyone who may think on it. Therefore we are saying now, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem. Every time Shaytan is coming and saying, “You are going to die, then you are going to be through your grave and your bones going to be dust. That is your final position. Don't believe that you should reach a permanent life, no!" And that is making people to be sad and more sad and more sad, and some people will not be able to carry this, killing themselves. May Allah protects us.
O People! Therefore we are saying, bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem. We are believers. Who is going to ask to save himself from a darkness in life, through that darkness we must know something. Madad, yaa RijaalAllah. What is making people to leave? That is the question we are asking.
O Salafi `ulamas! I am asking what is your opinion about our lives? What you are thinking? Which thing giving us to be happy and to be always in pleasure through this life? You know it? You must know, everyone must know one attribute that we have been granted that is going to be a real reason for Mankind to be happy and not to be sorrowful when his age going up, going up, going up, because sorrow cutting a person and killing a person from inside, not outside. Outside, for a while he may continue his life, perhaps enjoying, but after 50 and 60 years, sorrow is beginning to grind him. Which thing is going to save people?
O Salafi `ulamas, marhaban! Say! Say if the Lord of Heavens (swt) was not sending prophets, He Almighty may grant to His servants one attribute that makes that person to be standing up like this, not to come down like that. Which thing is giving people energy of standing up? One word, say! Hope! Hope! What is Arabic? Amal. Therefore, never cutting away from Man, and people always they have tool al-amal, long hope. Like a 90-years-old person will say, "I may live more!" But why, for what you are asking to live more, for what? What is his aim asking for a long life? If he is asking a long life for dunya, he is going to die one day, but their hope makes them to stand up on this world and to complete their aims or for what they have been created. They are finding a power through themselves that they may live longer for something. Therefore, people are going to be on two different lines, one of them asking to reach Eternal life, but to reach fully. The second group of people, they like their hopes carrying them to dunya, to this temporary life for enjoying more and more. Both of them, they have hopes. One hope for believers, one for non-believers.
O People! Pope, Chief Rabbi, Dala'i Lama, hear and listen! Everyone must have a hope, but theirs is a good and true hope for true things. Another hope is not a good aim to reach. Like you are looking in a mirror, khayaal, imagining. One hope is running after a real being, another is carrying people to an imitated imagining. Therefore, hope is going to carry people to two parts, because that engine giving them power to move, same thing, but one of them carrying them to real hope and the other is not. They are putting one stone on another stone, looking in laboratories, looking what seeing, and they are finishing. But others with good hope, good tidings for them: when their souls smelling good smelling, real essence, they should be taken to direction of that aim. But second ones are not smelling that and their hopes are going to be cut, because they are saying when you die everything is finishing. When a person is thinking such a way, he is never going to be happy in this life.
The calendar is taking, one day passed away, one week passed away, one month passed away, one year passed away, ten years passed away and he is saying, “My hope for living is coming to zero point.” But believers have such a sensibility, moving with a real aim, with their hope, every day they say, “Now we are approaching to our real aim,” and day-by-day they are going to be happy. And saying all prophets that mu'mineen, believers, their last day is best day because imitated body going to be taken away and real being comes.
O People! This is giving to you real happiness and enjoyment and pleasure. We are addressing to whole Mankind because Mankind going to be into two parts: one real-hope people, second people with imitated aims. They are asking a long life, but one group of people have aims carrying them to their real aims. Therefore, mu'mineen, whom they are believing to reach to their Creator's Mercy Oceans, they are beginning when they are reaching, going to be elder, elder, they are beginning to smell real good smell coming from real worlds. They are not dreaming, they are running on a true one and others are dreaming imitated dreamings, and unbelievers are sleeping, because they lost to reach to a level, what going to be clear for them why they are here and what they are going to be. One's hope is real and the other's hope is nonsense.
O People! Don't waste your efforts for imitated aims; it is not for you. O Pope, Your Holiness, listen! Whole Christian world may listen! Once Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) was passing through lands and he met a person plowing his field, giving salute and asking him, “Who are you?'”
"I am a farmer and I am plowing this land of mine.”
“This land is yours?"
"Yes, sir, it is mine."
Jesus Christ said, "O my Lord, You know best for whom is this land. Show us." And instantly that field was filled with so many people and everyone saying, “What? Why we are coming here?"
The farmer said, "This is my field."
"No, my field!" and the farmer is astonishing; he was very makhjool, ashaming.
"Look, everyone saying this field for him, how you are saying for you?"
"Who are you?"
"I am a servant of my Lord and I like to teach my nation. Everyone is quarreling, saying, 'This land is for me, not for you,' and you must know it is only for the Lord of Heavens." (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.)
King, maluks, how many passed away sitting on their sultanate throne, saying, “This country belongs to me.” And so many hundreds of kings, sultans saying, “This land is for me.”
O People! Don't be cheated. Therefore, I am saying to Salafi `ulamas to say such a naseeha, advice, for kings, for rich people and for common people, "O People! Don't worry, and don't run after this land because it is not for you. Finally it is going:
لِّمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ
limani 'l-mulku 'l-yawma lillahi 'l-Waahidi 'l-Qahhaar
Whose will be the dominion that Day? That of God, the One, the Irresistible! (40:17)
Finally, you are going to be buried, but it will last. Allah (swt) will ask, 'Who is belonging to whole continents and this land?' No one answers! Why not saying to your kings, to your mulooks, to your rich ones, 'That is not for you, malook, kings or rich ones or his relatives, no. That belongs to the Creator and you are only a renter for a while. Then we are leaving and another one coming and renting.'"
Don't be cheated. But what is the importance of `ulamas, what is their mission? Allah Almighty is saying! “O My beloved one, remind My servants about themselves through this life and after this life!" Why you are not saying, O Salafi `ulamas, for kings, for amirs, for shaykhs, for rich ones? Why you are not making? You are Arabs. Remind them. Why you are not saying, “O our malik, O our shaykh, O our rich ones, don't think that what you are carrying belongs to you. Why you are not reminding to them, “Allah granted to you millions and billions. Why you are putting in banks in caches? Why you are putting there? Do you think Allah granted to you to make treasures? Why not giving (to help the needy)? Now millions of people sleeping, shivering under the cold weather, no place to get in it; why you are keeping treasures, why you are not reminding? No, you are only saying, “Don't stand like this in Prophet's (s) honored presence, don't do that!” It is nothing! It is nothing, you should say to prevent it. Why you are not advising?
And millions, billions, quadrillions that Allah giving to you, oil to you and Allah giving gold. Why you are not going to do ma`roof, charities? Fill your whole world with your charities. Do you think you are going to die on hunger? No, but on wrong way. So many doctors of Shari`ah and so many Salafi `ulamas never open their mouth to say, “You must give, as coming through our holy books our Prophet’s advising to one Sahaabah (r), "Don't question who is asking you for you charity. Give and don't fear that the Lord of Heavens, the Lord of the Holy Throne, makes your money or your power down."
Now sometimes I know something. I am not an `alim like you. You have so many weapons but you are not knowing what weapon to be used for what purpose. We are poor ones, but we are fighting like the example of Sayyidina Dawud (a); one stone he sent on Jaloot (Goliath) and killed him. We have only one stone and you have so many weapons, but you are not knowing how to use it against Shaytan. Come and accept truth! Who is accepting truth is mu'min. I am not knowing something but when I am speaking it has value because coming from Prophet (s). (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Sayyidi 'l-awwaleen wa 'l-akhireen, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). Respect him! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)
O our Lord, forgive us and give us good understanding not to follow shaytanic ideas, because Shaytan just covered from east to west, just changing people. They are finally going to be hopeless, and hopeless people going to fire, to hells, and hopeful people just thinking that Allah Almighty will forgive and send to Mercy Oceans. Forgive me, from that one that granted from pre-Eternal to Eternal. (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.)
Fatihah.
