From Mawlana Shaykh Nazim's Personal Notes
A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem. Bismillaahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.
Laa hawla wa laa quwatta illa billahi 'l-`Aliyyu 'l-`Azheem.
Allah, Allah. Allah, Allah. Allah, Allah. `Azeez Allah.
Allah, Allah. Allah, Allah. Allah, Allah. Kareem Allah.
Allah, Allah. Allah, Allah. Allah, Allah. SubhaanAllah.
Allah, Allah. Allah, Allah. Allah, Allah. Sultan Allah.
Dastoor, yaa Sayyidi, Qutbu ‘l-Mutassarif. Madad, yaa Sultan al-Awliya. Dastoor, yaa Sayyidi wa Mawlay. Yaa Sayyidi, Shayhkh Nazim.Madad, yaa RijaalAllah.
As-salaamu `alaykum wa rahmatullaahi ta`ala wa barakaatuh.
Mashaa-Allah. May Allah always keep us at the door of Awliyaullah. When you come to the door of Awliyaullah, you become happy. That’s why Adam always laughs. He’s always here. He’s always happy. May Allah (swt) keep us with our shuyookh. May Allah (swt) keep us with good ones.
We have visitors from California. We have a group of people up here. May Allah (swt) accept their visit. May Allah (swt) take away all their difficulties with the barakah of this place, with the barakah of our shuyookh. May Allah (swt) grant you all your wishes. Inshaa-Allah the ones saying “ameen” are also included in that.
Alhamdulillah, our trip to Canada was very nice. Our brothers and sisters in Toronto opened a Sufi center. They got a property and part of it was converted to a Sufi center. Alhamdulillah, we visited. May Allah (swt) make that Sufi center a place of blessings for the community. Inshaa-Allah, Allah (swt) keep them on the way of Awliyaullah.
We have no `ilm. You have to know that we are not claiming we are knowledgeable. We are not claiming that we have diplomas. We are not claiming that we have become big `alims or scholars. No, we are taalibu `ilm. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (q) always taught us not to say, “I am scholar.” Say, “I am a seeker of knowledge.” Don’t say, “I am a knower.” When Allah (swt) asked malaa’ikah kiram, even they said, “Glorified are you, O our Lord. We don’t know anything except what You have taught us.”
قَالُوا۟ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَآ إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمْتَنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
They said: "Glory to Thee, of knowledge We have none, save what Thou Hast taught us: In truth it is Thou Who art perfect in knowledge and wisdom." (Surah al-Baqarah, 2:32)
Same here, we’re not claiming that we know except what Allah (swt) teaches us. We are asking for more. This kind of majalis, these places are places where Allah (swt) loves the people that are coming, gathering for His remembrance, gathering for the love of Rasoolullah (s), gathering for the love of Awliyaullah and to take a benefit for their mind and a benefit for their hearts.
We have somebody who is not a realtor but somebody who invests in properties. Allah (swt) said to Sayyidina Dawud (a), “Empty for Me your heart.” [Audio cut] Your heart will be polished by the Noor of Allah (swt) and His Love. [Audio cut] That tells you what is going to happen after him all the way to our period. This is the mu`jiza of Rasoolullah (s). [Audio cut]...he uses an iPhone and goes to the bank and banks there, no. Is it majestic, that people look at him in awe, and I gave him my support, my power. [Audio cut]. The landing of Allah (swt)’s Noor in your heart.
Sayyidina Mahdi (a), Awliyaullah, khalifatullah have to be as such. Allah (swt) will strengthen their rule. He will give them external knowledge and internal knowledge. [Audio cut]...knowledge of tariqah and the secrets of Haqiqah. What is really going to happen, nobody knows yet. Only Allah (swt) can reveal it. He will give him faslu ‘l-khitaab, to explain what Allah (swt) has given to him from knowledge in very simple, beautiful words and examples.
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (q) spoke with the simplest words, but he delivered the greatest meanings and he took his time. I listen to him in Turkish. I don’t listen to him in English too much because his English is broken. Still in English you can get some wisdom but in English it’s too high. The way he used to say it, definitely faslu ‘l-khitaab, sound speech, sound judgment. You cannot debate it, it comes very clear and nice. That was khalifatullah. Sometimes I think that was Imam Mahdi (a), but we cannot say that. Imam Mahdi (a) has to appear physically but our shuyookh are deputies, sahib Sahibu ‘z-Zaman as he explained. Wait for that khalifatullah to come.
The other day I was watching a clip about the Qadiyanis. It just popped up, four minutes. They claim to be Mahdi (a) and `Isa (a) and everybody all together in one. Where is your Divine Power and your hidden and spoken wisdom that are Shari`ah, Tariqah and Haqiqah? The khalifatullah is not anybody that you think can sit on a kursi or pulpit and speak. They must have extraordinary powers.
Sayyidina Dawud (a) was as such. Allah (swt) is telling us, “If you want to be like Dawud (a), empty your heart from the worries of the future.” There’s nothing to worry about. Whatever is happening is happening. There are tyrants. We are in the period of tyrants nowadays. Wherever you look, right or left, north or south, you will find tyrants. When you see them, what do you say? Rabbana la taj`alna ma`a ’l-qawmi ‘zh-zhaalimeen, “Don’t make us with the unjust people. Don’t make us with the cruel people. Don’t make us with them.
That’s how your du`a should be. Ask guidance for them. Have mercy in your heart because they don’t know but ask also not to be part of them. Empty your heart. How do you empty your heart? I read this today and I was a little bit shocked but it’s beautiful. It’s two sentences from the books of Awliyaullah. Allah (swt) revealed to Sayyidina Musa (a), “Yaa Musa! Do you like that I move in with you?” Do you want Allah (swt) to move in with you? Mashaa-Allah, you have a house here, a house there. Do you want Allah (swt) to move in with you? Sayyidina Musa (a) went into sajdah and said, “Yaa Rabbee! Of course but how can You move in with me?” He said, “Yaa Musa! Don’t you know that I am the guest of the person who mentions me? Don’t you know I sit with the person who remembers Me?”
If you remember Him in your room, Allah (swt) has moved into your room with you. If you remember Him in your living room, Allah (swt) has moved into your living room with you. “Wherever My servant looks for Me, he will find Me there.” It’s not only in Medinah and Makkah, Quds Sharif, Uzbekistan or here and there. Wherever you look for Allah (swt), He’s there. He can be in your closet if you’re giving podcasts from your closet. He can be in there with you. If you remember Him, he is there with you, supporting you, if you’re working for Him. If you’re working for dunya or yourself, He leaves you alone.
Allah (swt) can move in with you anywhere you go. He can be with you in the car, in the plane, in the interrogation room, in the testing, in the universities, in the prisons, in the hospital. Allah (swt) can move in with you anywhere you remember Him. It’s as simple as that. If you want Allah (swt) to be in your heart, remember Him. If you want to be away from all worries and anxieties, empty your heart of dunya and turn to Him. That is what Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (q) is telling us.
According to the Hadith, Sayyidina Mahdi (a) is coming. After tyrants, it will be his time. That is what we are waiting for. That’s why we don’t run after this one or that one, because the earth is full of tyrants. We don’t criticize this one or that one. What do tyrants do? Injustice. That’s their work. Tyrants will kill, burn, maim and hurt. That’s their work. They’re unjust people. That’s why we are waiting.
Empty your heart and you will have no more worries. Know your future. The Prophet (s) has said:
سيكون من بعدى خلفاء ثم من بعد الخلفاء امراء ثم من بعد الامراء ملوك ثم من بعد الملوك جبابرة ثم يخرج رجل من اهل بيتى يملأ الارض عدلا كما ملئت جورا
Sayakoonu min ba`dee khulafaun wa min ba`d al-khulafaaun umarras’un wa min b`ad al-umaras’u mulookan wa min ba`d al-mulook jabaabira thumma yakhruju rajulun min ahli baytee yamla'u al-ard `adlan kamaa muli'at joora.
There will come after me caliphs, and after caliphs will come princes, and after princes, kings, and after kings will come tyrants. Then a man comes out of my family who will fill the Earth with justice, just as it was filled with oppression. (al-Jami` al-Saghir)
Yakhruju rajulun min Ahli ‘l-Bayti yamla’u ’l-arda. “A man from my family will fill this world with justice again.” Empty your heart. Be in the majalis of Dhikrullah and Allah (swt) will be with you here and also keep you with him Hereafter as well. May Allah (swt) allow us to be with Him always in His Presence, never, ever away from His remembrance. Ameen.
What Allah (swt) has in store on the Day of Judgment is tremendous, so much Mercy. It is mentioned that even Shaytan will stretch his neck to reach some of that Mercy. That’s how much Mercy Allah (swt) will open on the Day of Judgment. As I read, there are a hundred mercies. One mercy was given to the people of earth and the inhabitants of earth as Rasoolullah (s) said and ninety-nine mercies are kept for Yawmu ‘l-Qiyamah. Allah (swt)’s Mercy is vast. Allah (swt) will give us from the best here and Hereafter. Keep Him with you. He will always keep you safe and sound.
May Allah (swt) keep us on the way of Awliyaullah, on the way of Rasoolullah (s).
Wa min Allahi 't-tawfeeq, bi hurmati 'l-habeeb, wa bi hurmati ‘l-Fatihah.
