We Do Not Oppress; We Crush the Oppressors!

Sultan al-Awliya

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani

15 April 2011 Lefke, Cyprus

(Translated from Turkish)

Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem. What can we do? Everyday a new veil gets lifted, revealing a new panorama. Within that panorama are all kinds of zhuhoorat, appearances for that day. However, almost everyday people are forgetting about their Creator, acting in ways that bring enmity and hostility amongst themselves, as they continue to crush, kill, and destroy, merely for the sake of this vain world. Today we are here, tomorrow we are gone; this will be the end result. Since we will not be here tomorrow, then why are we striving against one another? What is the benefit? Allah Allah!

Our Master, `alayhi ‘s-salaatu wa ‘s-salaam, informed us of something, and he has informed us of everything! But now the 21st century people have left our Master Muhammad (s) and are following Shaytan. Prophet (s) has declared everything. “To declare” means to openly inform what will happen. In one of his hadiths, Prophet (s) said, “If Allah Almighty wants to send an affliction upon someone--and He sends only because he deserved it--the first thing He will do is to make him lose his mind.” Those people will no longer use their brains. When that happens, they will be like a car without a steering wheel. Or for example, when a ship loses radar contact, it doesn’t know to which direction it must go. The ship will either go and crash into a large rock or get caught in a current.

We have a saying that goes, “This man has lost his bearings!” This is a saying used by people in the past. Why has he lost his bearings? Because what he does is not something the mind can accept. That which the mind rejects can be likened to a captain who has lost his way of direction. Now the whole world is in a state of confusion, not knowing where to go. Even a big nation as America doesn’t know what to do. They go in order to save people, then others come against them saying, “Why are you saving us? Why are you interfering in our business?” Look at the work of Shaytan: he starts a fire somewhere, then when someone comes to put out the fire, he says, “Why are you interfering? Leave it; let them burn!”

Human beings are honorable and precious. One human being is more valuable than the entire world. How dare you set Man against Man when Allah Almighty (swt) has said:

وَلاَ تَقْتُلُواْ أَنفُسَكُمْ

wa laa taqtuloo 'anfusakum,

And do not kill yourselves (or others). (an-Nisa, 4:29)

It is Allah who gives life and takes life away. Why are you interfering? It is forbidden! It is haraam! The greatest sin is to associate partners to Allah, second, to kill someone. What is it to you? Are you the one who gave life that now you are taking away the lives of all these people? The consequence will be tremendous! The punishment of every (oppressive) leader will be at least seventy-thousand times greater than all others who will undergo punishment in hellfire. If they (the latter) will be made to pull one chain of fire, these oppressive leaders will be made to pull seventy-thousand! What for?

Mankind is precious in the sight of Allah. They are very precious! Asta'eedhu billah.

وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ

wa laqad karramna bani Adam.

And We have honored human beings. (al-Isra’, 17:70)

By the right of Our Glory, we have honored the Sons of Adam. Their value is high! Their honor is exalted! Among all creations, We have dressed them with the crown of khilafah so that they govern on Earth on Our behalf. We are not oppressors; we crush the oppressors!”

Now He is making the oppressors to suffer. When they had the power in their hands to raise and exalt human beings, they oppressed, and this will not go unpunished. He will surely punish them. Allah Almighty is saying, “Do not be an oppressor!” He is addressing His servants:

يا عبادي إني حرمت الظلم على نفسي وجعلته بينكم محرما فلا تظالموا

Yaa `ibaadee, innee haramtu azh-zhulma `alaa nafsi, falaa tuzhaalamoo.

O My servants! Truly I have forbidden oppression for Myself, so do not oppress (one another). (Hadith Qudsi)

What does this mean? It means that oppression is the highest point of sinning. Someone who is an oppressor is disobedient to Allah and his Prophet (s). In all four Holy Books, their is curse upon such people, and therefore, no goodness is found with them. He is saying, “I made oppression haraam for My own Nafs; I never oppress! I am not an oppressor, and that is My order to you: falaa tuzhaalamoo, ‘Do not oppress (one another).’”

Where are you, O Arabs? Where are you, O those who unblinkingly kill people with all sorts of weapons? Who gave you such fatwa to make this oppression? Did Islam give you this fatwa? No. Was it Christianity? True Christianity never gives such ruling! Was it Judaism? Regarding true Judaism, Sayyidina Musa (a) never said, “Make oppression!” Sayyidina `Isa (a) never said, “Make oppression!” (On the contrary,) Sayyidina `Isa (a) said, “If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other side for him to slap.” Since this is the case, then O Christians, what is this that you are doing? You’ve invented all these weapons. For what? Is this how your prophet or he whom you regard higher than a prophet taught you discipline? Is this how Sayyidina `Isa taught imaan, faith? Shame on you! Pttuu on all of you!

The Prophet of the End Times (s) said, “Oppressors are under my feet.” He does not consent to oppression. Therefore, if you do not consent to this oppression the world will become a Paradise. But since we have given way for oppression, now the whole world has become Hell for everyone. May Allah forgive us. Tawbah yaa Rabbee, tawbah yaa Rabbee, astaghfirullah!

Fatihah.

Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem. Now all awliya are under alert. All of them, from top to bottom, are under alert. They received this order today. This is very important. All of them are in full alert, standing and looking to divine orders coming from above. It’s astonishing! The tajalli came today on a Friday. Therefore, we will see what will happen in the coming days. All of whom are dressed with the attribute of oppression will be swept away, starting with their chief ones. Tawbah yaa Rabbee, tawbah astaghfirullah! Amaan yaa Rabbee! Amruka bayn al-kaf wa an-noon, “His order is between ‘kaf’ and ‘noon.’” It is Allah’s divine order: Kun faya koon, “Be, and it is!” Kun faya koon, “Be, and it is!” (Yaa Seen, 36:82)

Shiddah, severe hardship came today because they touched Sham. Sham is nothing like Egypt. Sham is under an amazing tajalli, manifestation. From today onwards, Budala, Nujaba, Nuqaba, Awtaad, and Akhyaar are all under alert. Amaan yaa Rabbee! Min ajlis sham, yaa Rabbee, yaa Allah! Fatihah. O Allah Almighty! Keep us in Your safety and security. Who are we? Yaa Rabbee, you know best!

Fatihah.

We will see what news will come tomorrow, as now they are attacking Jordan. This means, they are trying to provoke the King of Jordan to stand up with his majesty and power and act in accordance to his job and mission. His real task is to protect the land of Sham; this is his job on the zhaahir (external). Spiritual protection is apart from the outwardly protection, which is (reserved) for him. The appearance is for the King of Jordan to protect the land of Sham. If he stands up, the whole Arab world will stand with him. (Guest: So you mean that these people have provoked him?)

Yes, these Alawiyeen in Sham have provoked him. They did what they did, and as a result, provoked the King of Jordan against the people of Sham. Sham is not like the rest of the Arab world, no. “Sham is My protected land. If you mean harm to Sham, 70 folds of punishment will come on your heads, wa sawfa taraa, and you will see!”

Fatihah.
