Madad yaa Sayyidee, madad. Dastoor yaa Sayyidee, madad. (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Laa ilaaha illa-Llah, laa ilaaha illa-Llah, laa ilaaha illa-Llah, Sayyidina wa nabiyina Muhammadun Rasoolullah. Yaa Nooru 'l-`Arshillah. Zidhu yaa Rabbee `izzan wa sharafan nooran wa surooran, sultaanan wa ridwaana. Alfu salaat, alfu salaam `ala Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa’l-Akhireen. Yaa Sayyidina Muhammad (s) wa `ala `aalihi wa ashaabihi wa anta... bika ihsaan yawma 'd-deen, ishf `aa lana. (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)
We are asking for heavenly support, for addressing all people from east to west, from north to south who have been honored to be deputies for this world. As-salaamu `alaykum our attenders! Attend and give much more care to learn something. I am trying to learn something. And we are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem, bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem! Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem! Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem! Allahu Akbar! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)
O Our Attenders! Welcome to you. How are you today? One day more we are approaching to the graveyard. (laughter) Yes, be happy, be happy! For what are we going to be happy? Because we have been loaded with something for this life from khayrihi wa sharrihi min Allah, from good things and from bad things. And we are trying to carry that heavy burden.When our last moment is coming, and those heavy burdens are taken away from us, our souls are going to be free, because every heaviness that makes people unhappy here, and Hereafter also, are a heavy burden on our shoulders.
Therefore, I am saying to you, O people, one day more passing and a new day coming and our days on this planet are getting less and less until going to be zero. You know that there is a word that people are now saying, adding from 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, counting down, yes, we are on that point. (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Allah (swt) says:
وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِندَهُ بِمِقْدَارٍ
Wa kullu shay'in 'indahu bi miqdaarin.
Everything with Him is in (perfect) proportion (devoid of chaos). (ar-Ra'd 13:8)
(Mawlana Shaykh sits.) Yes, no chaos on this planet. Everything is just in its most perfect condition. We are making chaos, using our will power in a wrong way.
O Salafi `ulamas, O Azhari `ulamas, Doctors! (Mawlana laughs) O Shi`a `ulamas! This is for Muslim societies and also asking His Holiness the Pope, and I am asking also to the chief rabbi, who is never accepting Christianity or Islam. If everything remains to your accepting or not accepting, a long time ago this world would have finished. Thanks to the Lord of Heavens that He is not leaving it up to you to accept Jesus Christ or refuse Islam! Islam is like the sun in the sky! Why are you closing your eyes to Islam? Was our Prophet, Sayyidina Muhammad, peace be upon him, (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) down and Moses (a) up? (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)
قُلْ هَاتُواْ بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
Qul hatoo burhaanakum in kuntum saadiqeen,
Bring your proof! Say: "Produce your proof if ye are truthful (21:24)
O Rabbis! Bring your evidence. Declare the signs of the prophecy of the Seal of Prophet (s) as written in the Torah. What was the sign of prophecy of Moses (a)? Say! Which one was nuqsaan? Which qualities were not in the Seal of Prophets (s)? Which signs of prophecy are you not finding in Sayyidina Muhammad (s)? (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) Why you are insisting, for what? Are you claiming that the pole star may be understood more than the moon? Are you saying Venus is much more clear than the moon? If you are using distance, the nearest prophecy to Mankind is for whom? The last one. For (the one) who is claiming, "I am the last, as well as the first." Moon is the nearest one, Venus is the farthest. You are accepting that what you are seeing in Venus is more clear, but not accepting the moon? "We are not accepting!" Yes? What is your evidence? Say! Say! You must say why you are claiming that Venus is more clear than what is appearing on the moon. No mentality may accept this claiming from you.
O `ulamas Azhar, `ulamas Shi`a, `ulamas Salafi, and `ulamas Hind (India), `ulamas Maghrib (west)! I am authorized to address all nations about what is wrong and what is true. Whoever is listening to what is spoken here must measure it, must put it on a scale, and then they must look at its weight. I am asking, for what was the Seal of Prophets (s) coming? Say! For what was the Seal of Prophets (s) granted to be the "seal"? That means if he has the seal, if he is not putting his seal on anyone's (designation as prophet), they are not going to be prophets. He is the representative of the Lord of Heavens! And the Lord of Heavens, subhaanAllah, Who is making him to be His representative? He is in him, in his real being. No one knows what He is doing. It is impossible. But sending sometimes some sparkles, making such a universe, billions of them! Yes? Anyone saying no? You can't say! You can't say! Allahu akbar al-Akbar! O our Lord!
O chief rabbis! O chief of Christianity! And also I am asking Islamic scholars and I am asking first Salafun Saalih, what does "seal" mean? (Mawlana Shaykh laughs.) The "Seal" of Prophets, yes. I am looking for answers from His Holiness the Pope, from His Holiness the Chief Rabbi, and from Salafi `ulamas and Azhari `ulamas, all those people claiming, "We are doctors! We are authorized ones to speak on this and on that." Say what is the meaning to be the "seal" of prophets? As they are saying to me, I am saying to you. "Seal" is mohor, a stamp; it means to be "sealed" as a prophet, from beginning up to the end. If that one, the Seal of Prophets (s), is not putting his seal on their name, never is Adam (a) going to be prophet, or Nuh (a) going to be a prophet, or Jesus Christ (a), or any of the124,000 prophets can't be prophets. Say! Why are you hiding such a reality? That is reality that they are making me to speak from east to west! You must learn. If you are not knowing, you must know (Mawlana Shaykh stands) that if the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s) did not put his seal on them, they cannot be prophets! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) That is real. Real Truth. Allah Almighty is not looking at such a things. He is saying, “I was a Hidden Treasure,” yet He is a Hidden Treasure, and for them He created the first Creation, who were saying, “We are `ulamas.” `Ulamas are book-given people, Jews and Christians (People of the Book).
Who was the first creature that our Lord’s Divinely Will made to appear in existence? Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) And Who made Sayyidina Muhammad (s) (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sit.) to look after all Creation on behalf of His Creator? Such things you must learn! Don’t say, “I am a doctor.” Don’t say, “I am a rabbi.” Don’t say, “I am a pope.” No, this is their honor (given to them) and therefore, if you are giving glory for the Seal of Prophets (s), it is on behalf of our Lord.
Yes, we are approaching the Last Day and Mankind is not knowing everything. The treasures of knowledge are going to be opened a little bit, and those people will know who is their Creator, their Lord, and for whom He created all of Creation. You know Arabic Qur'an, `ulama Azhari, Salafun Salih, `ulamas Shia` and learned people who claim, "We are learned people." What have you learned if you are not knowing such a thing? What are you learning? You are leaving wheat and taking straw! And you are saying, “We reached what we are asking; that straw is for animals, but grains are for us.” Leave sifaat ul-haywaan, animals’ attributes! Come to reach Man's attributes!
O People! You must know, because now time is over! The time granted to this world to be in existence is finishing. Therefore, the Lord of Heavens is asking to open something from the heavenly lights to reach to peoples’ understanding. Leave saying, “I am a doctor," or, “I am holiness.” Leave to be said, "We are learned ones." Look to new ones. You are knowing Arabic. What is Allah Almighty saying? What is your Lord saying?
كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ
Kulla yawmin huwa fee sha'an.
Every day in (new) splendor He does (shine.) (ar-Rahman, 55:29)
You must know this. What is your sha'an, position? New daily appearances are coming, according to Allah Almighty’s holy words, kullu yawmin Huwa fee shaan. "Every day His manifestations multiply." You know what is Allah Almighty's shaan, everyday and today? No. Therefore, kun taaliboon, be learners, students. Don’t say, “It is enough that we have graduated from Sorbonne, from Cambridge, from Harvard,” leave that! Allah (swt) said, kullu yawmin Huwa fee shaan. Why Allah Almighty is saying that everyday comes a new page from the program He created in His Divine Presence, on the Preserved Tablet? What is going on? You must know and you must teach people to say the truth! Teach them what is true, and you must learn to be true ones, and you must ask from Eternal Truth!
O `ulamas Azhar Sharif, Salafun Saalih, and Shi`as! Look and understand! Come and ask! If you are not knowing, you may ask. You are saying, “We are `ulamas of Islam.” Are you reciting Holy Qur’an? In Holy Qur’an in Surah al-Kahf what was Moses (a) asking? He was from uloo'l-`adham, among the distinguished five prophets granted extra from divine treasures. Then Moses asked, "I heard someone is knowing more than me, I must run to find him and learn from him." Why you are not going that way? Do you think Qur'an Kareem is a book of histories? Keep your adab with the Seal of Prophets (s), with the Holy Qur'an, with all prophets!
That is an ocean! We must stop here or all of you will drown! Allah Allah, Allah Allah. These are divine realities from real truth and real true ones, but our egos prevent us from asking and we say, "I am not in need to ask this one or that one." Keep your adab, O learned people in Islam, in Christianity, and in Judaism!
May Allah forgive us, for the honor of Sayyidina Muhammad (s). (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.)
Fatihah.
(40 minutes.) They know; we are closing.
Dome, dome, dome, dome.
Dome, dome, dome, dome.
Shaykh Adnan is also singing,
Dome, dome, dome, dome.
(Shaykh Hisham Effendi phones, with live transmission from majlis dhikr in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.)
Shaykh Hisham: As-salaamu `alaykum Sayyidee! We are here with 300 mureeds and the cameraman will show you our gathering.
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim: Wa `alaykum as-salaam. I am looking, mashaa-Allah.
Shaykh Hisham: If you give them a few words they will be happy!
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim: May Allah increase them!
Shaykh Hisham: Please say a word for them.
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim: O our attenders, as-salaamu `alaykum! I am asking from our Lord His blessings here and Hereafter, and for us to be Paradise people. May Allah Almighty give to you saadah (happiness) and to be accepted servants here and Hereafter. Hisham Effendi, give my respect to him. As-salaamu `alaykum! Hadha min fadali Rabbee, this is a grant from our Lord.
Shaykh Hisham: We love you, Sayyidee! (300 Kuala Lumpur mureeds sing, “We love you!”)
