(Mawlana Shaykh stands) Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, laa ilaaha illa-Llah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahi 'l-hamd! Allahuma salli wa salim wa baarik `ala Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa ’l-Akhireen, habeeb Rabbi 'l-`Alameen, noor `Arshillah, habeebillah, Sayyidina wa Sayyid al-`Alameen, Sayyidina Muhammadin (s). As-salaatu wa salaam `ala Sahib al-Anbiya wal-mursaleen wa khudama`i shara`i’ahim. Yaa Rabb! W `afuw `ana w ’aghfir lana w ’arhamna wa tub `alayna wa anta khayru ’r-rahimeen wa tub `alayna w ’ahdina w ’askina w ’aslih shaanana wa shaana ‘l-Muslimeen. A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. (Mawlana Shaykh sits)
As-salaamu `alaykum, our attenders from east to west, from north to south, and everywhere, those who believe in their Lord, the Creator, from Azaal ila ‘l-Abaadi, from pre-Eternal to Eternal.
O People! Congratulations to you and to everyone who believes in their Creator and His deputy! From which time is it? It has no time! There is no time up to the end also. That means it is from pre-Eternal up to Eternal. And we are saying, as informed from prophets to prophets, and the last one, Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa ’l-Akhireen (s), it is Eternity: it has no beginning and no end.
We are asking our Lord to forgive us for what we are doing in this world, which is nothing. Mankind on this planet is doing so many unimportant things with no value, and they are finishing the power that is granted to them from Heavens to their souls. May Allah forgive us.
We are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. Shaytan is the worst one and he is the most dangerous enemy for Mankind. He represents hasad, envy, as his being is just built to be envious. The worst characteristic for Mankind is envy and it is from Shaytan, the worst one in Creation because he was envious. He is trying to make Mankind fall down, to leave their honorable Creation and to fall to Shaytan's level. May Allah forgive us and protect you.
Today is a more honored Friday, the first Friday of the holy birth month of the Seal of Prophets (s). We are saying, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem, asking from our Lord, Almighty Allah, to grant us to follow the Seal of Prophets (s). But the worst creature, Shaytan, cheats most of Mankind. They are followers of Shaytan and not followers of the Seal of Prophets. That is the biggest ignorance, shame and blame for Mankind! How? There is the Best One who was created with honor, and he is calling them to be most precious ones on Earth and to be rewarded with eternal life, and second, there is the worst one who is calling people to fall into the worst position, here and Hereafter. He is calling people to fall into troubles here and to be punished after their death with the worst punishment. Where is the mentality of Mankind now? They are running after Shaytan, but not following the Seal of Prophets (s) who has been sent by divine order to call people:
وَاللّهُ يَدْعُو إِلَى دَارِ السَّلاَمِ
Wallahu yad`u ila Dar as-Salaam
But Allah calls to the Abode of Peace. (Surah Yunus, 10:25)
Allah Almighty is saying, Huuuuu, "O Mankind! I am inviting you to be in My Divinely Presence, Dar ul-Jalal, which signals the highest, most honored station that Mankind may reach." Allah Almighty is inviting them to Dar as-Salaam and Mankind is leaving that and following Shaytan.
Now we are reaching the end of life on this planet. Day-by-day we are coming closer to Akhirah, Judgment Day, and yet people are not taking any care for their future. You may live to 90, 100, or 200 years, but where are you reaching? If you are reaching the age of Nuh (a), which was 1000 years, what is it going to be in the end? It is going to be said, "Come, yaa Noah! Your life just reached the last breath, and it is finished! Come for the real, unchangeable, and Eternal life in infinity," and he will pass away. Now our ages are coming down. Before people were living up to 80, 90, 104 and above this, but now mostly people are passing away at age 50 or 60 years, more or less. All prophets came to invite people, "O People! Don't be cheated in this life, because it is so short. Come to Eternal life!" But people are never thinking on it, and they are running for a very short life full of troubles, sufferings, and bad conditions. Shaytan is calling people to the worst and tasteless life, and prophets are calling people to a sweet life. We are here for a short time, and the Seal of Prophets (s) is calling people to a sweet live, but Shaytan is calling them, saying, "Don’t believe in that! Come and believe in me and I shall show you the way to a sweet life," and he is the biggest liar!
Finally, O our attenders, as the Seal of Prophets (s) was saying, when the Last Day, Judgment Day is coming closer, people are going to be enemies to each other. They are going to forget their honor and pride and begin to kill each other. Some of them are saying, "We are in your community and you must obey our orders. If you do not obey, we are going to kill you and take you away."
Now throughout the east and west, every nation is fighting the other, killing, giving every trouble for others, and you are looking that everywhere in this world people are asking for something but they do not know what they are asking for! All holy books are teaching us what is good and what is bad. Everywhere there are troubles, sufferings, and killings by the order of Shaytan and Allah Almighty is ordering, "O People! Don't make oppression, zhulm. Don't be oppressors, don't be killers, and don't give trouble to people. All of you are in the same category. I, the Lord of Heavens, am ordering you to do your best for yourself and for everyone. All of you are from Adam and Eve, and all of you belong to Mankind's big human family, so don't give trouble to each other,” but people are following shaytanic orders and killing, burning, and giving trouble as much as possible, yes.
We are sorry that now in the Islamic world there are so many troubles. It means the chiefs are not keeping the rights of people but they are bad leaders, never making people to be happy, but giving trouble to them. Why are Egyptian people, for example, running in the streets? Who is their commander in chief, that one or this one? What did you do for common people for forty years, more or less? If you were giving common people their rights and dealing with them justly, they would not run in the streets and say, "We don't like this one, we must change this one," and you are saying, "No we are insisting to be on this chair, we are not listening to you, we may kill all of you but we must sit on this chair."
That is their defense for themselves! You are just like other people. What great value do you have over other people? And they are saying, "No, we must be here, we may kill the whole nation but we must sit on this chair because it is an honorable chair. We are never happy with you if you are not leaving us to sit on this honored chair up to the end of our lives," and that is false, baatil! May Allah change everything from bad to good! But they are trying to change goodness into badness and it is impossible to change badness into goodness. Half of the people who are not saying, "You should not sit there" may die, but no, you must go also! Yes, it is from the signs of the Last Day, Judgment Day. Allah Almighty is the Judge for all nations and servants.
O People! If people are saying, "We don't like you, go away," you must go away, as Allah Almighty is teaching us:
فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا فِيهَا أَحَدا ً فَلاَ تَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّى يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ قِيلَ لَكُمْ ارْجِعُوا فَارْجِعُوا ۖ هُوَ أَزْكَى لَكُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيم
Fa’in lam tajidu fiha ahadaan falaa tadkhuluhaa hatta yu’udhana lakum. Wa in qila lakum arji`oo farji`oo. Huwa azka lakum w ’Allahu bimaa ta`maloona `Aleem
If you find no one in the house, enter not until permission is given to you. (Then) if you are asked to go back, go back. That makes for greater purity for yourselves and God knows well all that you do. (An-Nour, 24:28)
If you are going to a place and you are asking to be there or to enter that house, but the keepers of that house are saying, "Go away, we are not opening the door for you." Egyptian people are Arabs, and their commander is Arab, why are they not understanding? Wa in qeela lakum arji`oo farji`oo. It is not Turkish or English, no, it is Arabic. If you are going to a place and asking to enter and they are saying, "No, go away, we don't like you,” you must go away. That is an order from Heavens. If you are not going, the worst punishment may come on you. If you are not going away while you are alive, they may kill you, and then carry you away from your feet! What are you going to do? You are only one person. Don't say, "We have such and such a powerful army." No, Who is changing hearts may change the hearts of your army to be against you and take you away, putting you in sewage channels, or in Alexandria’s harbor, or throw you in the Nile where there are so many crocodiles to eat you. Take your lesson from such things! That is something that we must say to people; therefore, I am saying this. If they are accepting, accepting, if not, they are not sending me money, no.
They changed everything, even their flags, and the maliks are bringing other people, and another imitated flag that has no value. Whoever makes himself big by himself has no value also! There was a malik, and there was the flag of Islam that Egyptian people were using for hundreds of years. They also had seven treasures, one treasure was the same for seven territories, and now people cannot find something to eat and they are running in the streets asking for something! What are their chiefs doing for so many years? What did they do? They made a high dam that wasn't necessary and that finished the treasure of Egypt. People are coming from up, down to the lowest level. Where are their `ulamas to say such things?
Also, the first tyrant in Egypt took billions of dollars from Russia to build something that was not necessary. We know that Nile mubarak has such barakah, and no one knows from where it is coming, but our awliya are saying that it is one of the rivers that are coming from Paradise to Earth! There is so much barakah in it, and yet they are still repaying Russia. The first tyrant did this, and the second one is now saying, "We may do our best for you. " You haven’t done anything for so many years, what are you going to do now? The people are standing up and rushing on you. Time has passed now and it is too late! People will never believe in them or trust them, saying, "You must go!" But people are also ignorant, saying, “You must go, bi idhnillah. We are weak ones with no power, but we are asking protection from our Lord protection and defense on behalf of ourselves because we are such weak and poor people to take you away, you must go, and once again you can't come here. We must bring our malik as before, we must bring the real flag of Islam to Egypt, not an imitated flag by yourself, take it away and you go away!” They are saying this now. May Allah forgive us.
O People! Everywhere there is danger now. The holy order to Prophet (s) is, `ati kulli dhi haqqin haqqahu, “Give everyone his rights.” Give the rights to those people from whom you are taking them away and putting in your pockets. Give them back their rights! There will never again come the time of tyrants. Hundreds and thousands may die but they will never be permitted to come back, and the Lord of Heavens will guard and defend those who are not receiving their rights everywhere, finished! Mahdi (a) must come to clean every tyrant and their followers! May Allah forgive us. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee.
Safar ul-Khayr just passed away with so many heavy events. Now we hope that it will change in this month, for the honor of the Seal of Prophets (s). (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits) Allah, Allah. Be with right ones, not with wrong ones, or you will be taken away! May Allah forgive us.
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, `Azeez Allah.
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Kareem Allah.
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Subhaan Allah.
It is written in all books that in Egypt there will come after jabaabira, tyrants, one whose name is going to be Ahmed, and he will carry the sword of Islam. It is written, so must be, but people are forgetting such things. Democracy has no value, finished! It is impossible to come back.
O People everywhere! Give back your kings or sultans that you are taking away by force and cheating people! If not, you and your supporters are going to go away! Astaghfirullah.
O our Attenders! Keep such things and know that this world is going to be changed from tyrants to respected sultans who have honor, respect, rahmah, and mercy in their hearts! May Allah forgive us.
Fatihah.
