Cheating and Dishonesty Will Destroy You

Sultan al-Awliya

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani

7 April 2010 Lefke, Cyprus

Prelude to holy suhbah:

So many people are occupying our time, occupying these cameras also, but most important is that people must imagine only who is speaking when other things are making them to lose something else, because their attention is going for other things also. Therefore, when finishing Fatihah (at the end of the live broadcast) close all things; that is coming to me tonight; it is official for people to hear. It is not good with whom you are speaking, no need, even as-salaat w 'as-salaam is taking perhaps ten minutes. Some people are busy and they are shy to leave and go; therefore, after the broadcast you may do as-salaat w 'as-salaam and any people also if they are giving salaam and going, no need. We are official. We must do this and it is not true to force people to wait for as-salaat w 'as-salaam. It may be they are in a hurry to go. Inshaa-Allah, inshaa-Allah.

Amaan yaa Rabbee, bismillah. Dastoor yaa Rabbee. (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Dastoor yaa Sayyidee. Madad yaa rijaalAllah.

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah,`Azeez Allah

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Subhaan Allah

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Sultaan Allah

Wa nashahadu, we are testifying that the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s) is the most glorified, most honored one in Divine Presence. Allahumma salli wa sallim wa baarik`alayh. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) Astaghfirullah. Madad.

As-salaamu `alaykum attenders! Happiness to you and honor to you, for attending a heavenly meeting that now is very rare to find heavenly meetings for the sake of Allah Almighty. Yes, you may find official centers where official people may do some meetings or discussions. We don't like discussions, or using arguments because Shaytan is ordering to them to be arguing ones. You speak, your understanding is correct, yes. And we are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. As Islamic adab, good manners, we must address first to Allah Almighty with His Holy Name, then this addressing runs to whole Creation, particularly on our planet, and everyone is going to be ready for defeating Shaytan and its works!

To say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem is Allah Almighty’s order and we must use it. But when we are asking that, it is quickly running for guardians of Mankind in the east and west who are hearing from where it comes, and in which meeting people are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem, then they are running there and defeating Shaytan and its soldiers away! Yes! Therefore, it is important to say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem as a special protection comes on that meeting. Now there are so many meetings, but they are not using, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. They are thinking they are enough to protect themselves but it is wrong, because Man is created weak and we are always needy for a connection with Unseen Territories that may reach us. Without that, we are going to be on Earth like an animals' world. No, you must do a tameez, differentiate, you must do that. We are belonging to Mankind, the Children of Adam that has been honored to be deputies for the Lord of Heavens! SubhaanAllah!

And we are saying, bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem. Now we are taking heavenly sword in our hands. Who is forgetting to take his sword may be easily falling into tricks of Shaytan, or may be easily caught in shaytanic traps. Therefore, people in our days are so strange; to find such a meeting it is so rare, rare, rare! And people mostly are official ones and rasmiyaat, officiality is taking away familiarity from people. Officials are not opening to each other in their hearts, but they are using their official identities and leaving their real beings (as Muslims) and taking an imitated personality that has no value. Do you think (a synthetic) diamond is the same as a real diamond? But from far away you may say both of them are diamonds, but no, never!

So that officiality is making people leave their real beings and dress in imitated identities, and that is a shaytanic order. Therefore, one of the biggest awliya in the Islamic world, Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi (q), was saying, "O People! Be as you are showing yourself to people; don't cheat them, don’t use two personalities. Use one personality and your real person is going to be in your spirituality. But you are not using; you are hiding your real being and showing yourself (opposite to) that. That is haraam. Be as you are!" Don't use two personalities you may cheat people but you can’t cheat the Lord of Heavens, you can’t cheat heavenly beings, no! About those who cheat people, the Seal of Prophets (s) is saying, "That one is not from my nation." That is a very heavy warning from Prophet (s)!

O Our Salafi `ulamas! You must know this hadeeth shareef, the holy words of the Seal of Prophets (s)! This is a very important warning and caution also for whole Nation of Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Zidhu yaa Rabb, nooran wa suroora wa ridwaanan wa sultanan. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)

This is giving full fear, because (in that state) you can’t change your direction to righteousness and leave that way because you are using something for your egoistic wishings. That is a very important warning. Where can we find such people now? Old people now are trying to show themselves not as their real personality, but they are asking to cheat people using two personalities: one keeping for themselves (private behavior), and one when they are dealing with people. They are using their second personality for the sake of Shaytan. That person may show, "I am so trustworthy. I am like good," but when reaching his target he removes his mask and shows who he really is, taking power from people and cheating them. That is the worst shaytanic characteristic that all prophets warned against, saying, "Beware of Shaytan, because he is trying to make people use two faces!" Cheating people caused the whole world to fall into such a crisis. It is not really an economical crisis; it is a crisis of our characteristic, (that changed good character to bad). ِas-sukoot min dhahab, “Silence is gold.”

Our characteristics have now been taken under a shaytanic hegemony in the east and west, in the Muslim world and non-Muslim world. All of them are following shaytanic ways and leaving heavenly advices for them, and the Seal of Prophets (s) taught people the highest good manners. من غشنا فليس منا Man ghashanaa falaysa minna, “Those who are not on the Right Path are not from us.” (This warning may address) Christians to Christians, Jewish to Jews, Muslims to Muslims: when they were glorified with honor, why was that taken from them? And now they are ugly, as heavenly lights were taken from their faces and they are finished!

Therefore, it is an important point that we must now follow heavenly advices for `islah, correction! If we are not correcting our characteristics, even seventy kings' treasures and the (massive) treasures of Qaroon will never save people from an economical crisis, no! Allahu akbar! Therefore, we are saying now, we are a handful of people who the Lord of Heavens sends from His servants to wake up people.

O People! Leave ghaafil, heedlessness and think on it. Now this is declared in the east and west. I am not thinking, but I am knowing what we are saying, it has reached from all prophets to their nations. That was the declaration of Sayyidina Ibrahim (a), Sayyidina Nuh (a), Sayyidina Adam (a), Sayyidina Yaqub (a) and twelve tribes of the Children of Israel, up to Sayyidina Moses (a), after to Sayyidina Dawud (a), after Sayyidina Sulayman (a)! All of them were warning what we are saying now. No one may say that anyone from the Seal of Prophets is not speaking the truth, no one! And reaching to Sayyidina Zakariya (a), Sayyidina Yahya (a), reaching to Sayyidina `Isa (a). Sayyidina `Isa, a prophet and ruhullah, "the spirit of Allah (swt)," is mumayyaz, distinguished. No one can say that one, from the nation of the Seal of Prophets, is lying, no!

Therefore, I am addressing to His Holiness, the pope, is my declaration to all nations true or not? And I am asking the chief rabbi, is it true or not? They can’t say it is not true! Who are cheating their prophet have been thrown away, and their (false) books are also thrown away! And up to today, anyone in the Muslim world who is not using written and inspired heavenly values can’t truthfully say, "That servant (Shaykh Nazim) is not speaking the truth!" No one can find a way to save the whole world from a crisis if they are not doing what we are saying now:

الأمانة تجلب الرزق والخيانة تجلب الفقر

al-amaanatu tajlibu ar-rizq, wal khiyaanatu tajlibu 'l-faqr.

Honesty brings good tidings, just as dishonesty/betrayal brings (all aspects of) poverty.

O Salafi `ulamas! Don't you know that hadith? Speak and warn all nations what heavenly inspirations are ordering. Is it not true what the Seal of Prophets (s) said? Be honest, as honesty brings heavenly treasures! But if you are khiyaanah, betraying, that carries faqr, poverty. That weakness scares people to be dishonored ones.

O People! Everything is so clear! If we may use one of Prophet's (s) holy words, it is enough to save all nations, but Shaytan is saying, "Don’t hear, don’t listen. Do as I say, use your mentality!" Why are you cheating? Why are you not a righteous one? Why are you not running to be an honored one? Perhaps some people are giving you honor, but their intention is to take some manaf`iya, benefits for their lives. They are not real ones. Why are you not running to reach heavenly honor? If you are running for people on Earth, they will be like your servants and giving you their high respect; if not, they are swearing on you because you are changing the way to be deputies of Allah.

O People! Come and listen to reach honor here and Hereafter. Don’t think imitated honor is giving to you something; it is giving to you nothing. But real honor you will find in your Eternal Life! Prefer one of them. One is only for your short lifetime on this planet, and when you are leaving you will be taken to another world, to Allah Almighty's territory. You will be nadmaan, regretful, but it will be too late. Before coming our last breathing you make your tadaarik, preparation. You may prepare yourself for that day when you are leaving this unofficial being and coming to your official beings for heavens, and your regrets will not be useful for you then!

May Allah forgive us for the honor of His most beloved one, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) Therefore, we are asking Allah Almighty to send someone to change our characteristics, to change our bad habits to good habits, from good to better.

O People! Just dunya after a while is reaching its last station, and its daftar, registration book, will finish and the heavenly seal comes on it, and it will be sent to the Day of Resurrection. O our Lord, forgive us! O our Lord, we are weak ones! Send to us from Your special servants to teach us and lead us, Your weak servants, from wrong ways to right ways.

O Salafi `ulamas! Try to be one of them. We must call people to truth, and we must teach them what is truth. Holy Qur’an is full with truth and leads people to truth, and guides people to the right ways (that will benefit them) on Day of Resurrection. O our Lord, forgive us!
