Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Subhaan Allah

Eyyyy, hayyyyyy, eyyyyy, hayyyyyy
Eyyyy, hayyyyyy, eyyyyy, hayyyyyy
A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem. Yaa RijaalAllah!
O Heavenly Ones! O Holy Ones! O Clean Ones! Send us from your heavenly support. We are weak ones, asking in this holy month more heavenly support for winning over our egos. We are trying to take away our egos’ dirtiness. Our egos are working in dirtiness. Our egos are never asking to be clean ones, but always asking for dirtiness. May Allah send His heavenly cleanliness to His weak servants. Really, O our attenders, we are not weak ones because who is granted to say, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem, is never going to be a weak one! That is such a big grant that no one can reach the limits of that grant. Astaghfirullah. Allah Almighty is saying, asta'eedhu billah (Mawlana Shaykh stands)
وَخُلِقَ الإِنسَانُ ضَعِيفًا
Wa khuliq al-insaanu da’eefa.
Man is created weak. (4:28)
(Mawlana Shaykh sits) SadaqAllahu 'l-`Adheem.
O our Attenders! Don't be heedless ones. Wake up, particularly Salafi `ulamas who are giving such a title for themselves that it shows they think they are not weak ones! Yes, they say, "We are `ulamas," and yet you are weak ones. Don't forget that you are a weak Creation. You may use a title, but mostly titles are giving people an idea that they are important, and they say, "We are something, we are important ones! How can we accept that we are weak ones?"
Shaytan is saying to them, "Use a title that removes your weak status."
And Allah Almighty is saying, wa khuliq al-insaanu da`eefa. SubhaanAllah! He is not saying, khalaqtu al-insaan da`eefa, but He is saying wa khuliq al-insaanu da`eefa. Because Allah Almighty is saying, (Mawlana Shaykh stands)
إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً
innee ja`ilun fi 'l-ardi khaleefah.
I am appointing a deputy on Earth. (2:30)
Khalifah is chief, so how is he going to be weak? (Mawlana Shaykh sits) Feehee nazar. They are asking me to ask Salafi `ulamas their opinion. Do you say that insaan is created da`eef? And ayatul-kareemah is saying, innee ja`ilun fi 'l-ardi khaleefah. khaleefah is never, never, never showing any sign of weakness. SubhaanAllahi 'l-`Aliyyu 'l-`Adheem. Feehee nazar. We must ponder it. Insaan, Man, is created khuliq al-insaanu da`eefa.One meaning is coming now, that insaan was born so weak, as a newborn child is so weak, then his physical being is getting powerful, more powerful, more powerful, and he is standing up. Ajaa`ib. Wa khuliq al-insaanu da`eefa. First, Creation is from sperms of its dad, and this very weak thing makes a human being? When its creation is going to be perfect and complete, then dressing on him a dress, innee ja`ilun fi 'l-ardi khaleefah, to be Allah Almighty's deputy on Earth. That small one that is so weak can't be a khaleefah. Then, "We are making and giving to him what he needs from power." He is physically getting powerful and with his spirituality he is taking an honor to be deputy. Our physical being can't carry that honor, but our spiritual being can carry that great, grand honor, yes!
We are saying "weak servants." Do our `ulamas know what Shari`atullah is ordering? Say what the holy Shari`ah is ordering to you, O `ulamas! And say to kings or sultans what is holy Shari`ah's order. Say! Don't you know that Allah Almighty is ordering, "Help weak ones!" That is an order! When Allah Almighty is saying, khuliq al-insaanu da`eefa, first of all, that command is coming to that child's father and mother to look after that weak one with high care. I am sorry to say that now, in the 21st century, people are bringing that baby at three days or one week, they are bringing that weak one to the door of churches, or orphanage doors, or city councils’ doors, saying, “We reached the high point of civilization,” but they are liars! The holy command of Allah Almighty is, “Help weak ones!”
That is why Allah Almighty is saying, wa khuliq al-insaanu da`eefa. It means, "Take the most care of the new Creation." It is the first heavenly command to kings, queens, umaraa, princes, shaykhs, rich ones, presidents, governments, and to all who have been granted power. Look after that helpless creature, that weak newborn that is thrown away! Take care of weak ones because they have been created weak and can't do anything. Take the highest care of those small ones!
Where is civilization? Doctors are cutting women (with Caesarian deliveries) and taking that new child `ajiz, weak ones, from the wombs of women and throwing them away. Thousands of such things are happening daily. And therefore, the Lord of Heavens is angry with people on Earth. Therefore, He is sending floods, fires, volcanoes, earthquakes, and unknown diseases as a punishment to make them weak, to taste the bitterness of weakness!
O People! Who are living from east to west, Islam is coming and living with rahmah, mercy! If there is no mercy, there is no Islam!
O Mankind! Take care of weak ones everywhere, that you are living and so proud that you reached the top point of civilization in the 21st century!
O Salafi `ulamas! Don't you know the holy hadith of the Seal of Prophets (s): (Mawlana Shaykh stands)
إرحموا من في الأرض يرحمكم من في السماء
Irham man fi 'l-ard yarhamakum man fi 's-sama.
Have mercy to those on Earth and the One in Heavens will have mercy on you.
Is this not a hadeeth; don't you know it? Where is your rahmah and your pity for people? You are looking only for your egoistic pleasures. (Mawlana Shaykh sits) And people from east to west, from north to south, billions of people are in the worst condition and no one is giving their pity for those poor people, for those weak creatures! Where we are living now, every day they are making me shout at those people who are saying, "We are Salafi `ulamas. We are Wahhabi `ulamas. We are doctors. We are Muslim authorities." That hadeeth must be written everywhere in golden letters: Irham man fi'l-ard yarhamakum man fi's-sama, "Give your pity to weak ones and needy ones and poor ones." Help them, then the Lord of Heavens will give you from His endless Mercy Oceans! If not, then ghadabullah, anger of the Lord of Heavens, will approach you, just as heavenly anger reached to the armies of Nimrod, taking them away! (Mawlana Shaykh stands)
وَمَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ
Wa maa dhaalika `ala 'Llahi bi-`azeez.
That is not at all difficult for Allah, Who has no equal. (14:20, 35:17)
Is this true, or not?! What do you think, O `ulamas? Maa dhaalika `ala 'Llahi bi-`azeez. Allah Almighty, Who has qaadiran mutlaq, Absolute Power, "I can do anything, and if you do not change your way, I will reach you with My heavenly anger!" (Mawlana Shaykh sits)
O People! This is a holy month and Allah Almighty ordered you to give to poor people. Don’t wait for poor people to come to you begging. No, you must reach out to them. That is real honor for you. Someone was saying about a person who was asking for charity from him, "Daily they are coming to ask, and we are giving our zakaat and sadaqah, but people are coming without end!”
That person was asking, “What are you giving from zakaat? You don’t know? I would like to hear from you.”
“We are calculating our gold and our riches; from 40, we are taking one and giving for the sake of Allah to poor people (i.e., one-fortieth of their wealth)."
The one who asked was very angry, saying, "You are not ashamed to give for Allah one from 40 and keeping 39 for yourself? Ptuu! Spit on you and your dishonored position!"
People now are in such a way. one person said, “Yaa Shaykh, leave them! If they are giving one from 40, it is enough. Don't quarrel with them.” But they are not giving even one from 40. And we are saying to those people, you are giving to the poor one from 40 and keeping 39 for yourself? One for Allah? How are you understanding Shari`atullah or Allah's Mercy for His creatures? You must say, "O my Lord! For You, all is for giving." How can you find people like this, in such a way? Shame on them! Shame! Where are those people who say, "O my Lord! I am taking one for myself and giving 39 for You." How can you find those people?
O Salafi `ulamas, you are rich people! Give for the sake of your Lord! May Allah forgive us.
O People! Allah Almighty is saying, "I must test My servants, how they are with Me, and how they are with dunya. What are they preparing for their dunya and what for Mawla? I must test and try My servants." And all holy ones, awliyaullah, are saying, “All those people are never passing from their lowest level up, not even one level.”
O Allah Almighty! Give us to taste the sweetness of Shari'ah! Send us someone from Your good people, from Your good servants, to teach us to live as You like. And may Allah forgive us for the honor of Your most beloved one (Mawlana Shaykh stands), and change us from bad ones to good ones, for the honor of the Seal of Prophets (s). (Mawlana Shaykh sits).
Fatihah.

Shaytan and his followers are never happy with such an addressing. They are very angry, and I am asking that their anger kills them!
