245 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: AllahIsGrantingWillpowerToMan
We were saying that people (are) saying: “I like this, I like that.” Allah granted to His servants from His divinely Attribute to ask something according to their wills, but they must put their wills under His Will and (they) may say: “If my Lord (is) asking (this), I like it. If my Lord (is) not asking (this), if my Lord is not happy with my will, I am taking my will back and I am looking His Will!” We are speaking on that: “Ya man kulli assin alayka yassir.” We are speaking on the illnesses, on the bad characteristics of egos. We have been authorized to speak on it, as well as to make a cure on (these illnesses). That work, when I am coming to me, when I am sitting here to say to Allah, that is His divinely Attribute: “Oh my Lord, oh that One, every difficulty that we are going to be faced with, every kind of difficulty, it is for ourselves difficult, but the only One who is making that difficulties to disappear, to go away and to finish, to be easy, that is only You! You may do that. Every difficulty that Your servants from mankind are going to be faced with, they must not run there, here, leaving You and asking an easy way, some ways to reach to their freedom, to save themselves from difficulties. Only by Your Will it is going to be, not with our wills. If all people’s wills were coming together, it is impossible to make (the) difficulties that (are) growing through people to be solved or to come an easy way. That is very important! Don’t try yourself, by yourself, that you can save yourself from difficulties. No! Your wills, all mankind’s wills, if (they were) coming together, they can’t find a way to get out from this closed area. Because you are inside; (it is) just closed on you and the key- (He) that (is) making you through that closed area, (He) who imprisoned you, only He may be giving to you a way to get out! As the Children of Israel. Allah Almighty was giving His Judgment, His divinely Judgment: “You are now in prison. 4o years I am imprisoning you in that area, Sinai. 4o years. Finished, you are inside, I am closing on you, I am keeping the key. I may open, but I am not going to open for you, because I am giving my just Judgement that you should be punished (to be) 4o years through that prison!” And it was a free land, but they can’t escape. And just they were all buried in that area and they died… Now (for) all mankind (it is) closed on them and the key is in my pocket! I am the weakest servant to be porter on them. I closed, keeping the key with me. All of them inside, till they are coming and asking from Allah Almighty freedom; then He may order to me to open, (and) I may open. Or (else) the whole world…

may die all of them, they can’t get out… May Allah forgive us and bless you. For the honour of the most honoured one in His divinely Presence… I am nothing, but their order (is) passing through (me) as that electric wire. If (you are) giving power (through it), you can’t touch it, if not, it is an ordinary wire… I am nothing; when I am saying this, I am saying the true. But when it is ordered (for them) to be free (and) the Lord of Heavens is giving Permission, when (they are) coming and saying: “Oh our Lord, save us, save our souls, S.O.S., S.O.S., S.O.S., oh our Lord!” then (He is) opening…If (they are) not asking this- let them to come under oceans, finishing… May Allah forgive us for the honour of the most honoured one, bu hurmati-l Fatiha…Ya Rabbi, yessir, ya man kulli asiin yassir… As long as they are running away, they are falling down… Lefke, 24.06.2004, transcribed by Khairiyah Siegel

He knows. He knows what is happening for a servant when he is saying Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. No one can imagine, and don't think that every time when you are saying bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem heavenly grants are going to be same, no.

is new. New appearances, new unexpected Blessing Oceans, unexpected Power Oceans, unexpected Glory Oceans. O our Lord! Laa shareeka la, there can never be any partner for You! La ilaaha illa Anta Subhaanak! O Salafi `ulamas! How many times are you saying la ilaaha illa Anta Subhaanak, innee kuntu min adh- zhaalimeen, “There is no god except You! Glory be to You! truly I was one of the oppressors?" Are you accepting la ilaaha illa Anta Subhaanak, innee kuntu min azh-zhaalimeen? You are saying no, you are not zhaalim, but when we are following our ego’s desires they are going to be written on the table of zhaalimeen. Yes! Is it Holy Qur'an? Are you thinking it is a story book or history book? Everything in Holy Qur'an from beginning up to end is for teaching, and when He Almighty is teaching, He is asking, "What did you learn?" Who is the teacher for the ummah, Ummati 'l-Habeeb? (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! Do you know that his name is mu`allimu 'n-naas ul-khayr, “The teacher of goodness to Mankind!” (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) Yes, and he is saying that he is teaching all Mankind, including prophets, including their followers! Sayyidi 'l- awwaleen wa’l-akhireen, the Seal of Prophets (s) is a teacher; he is teaching. What did you learn today from his teachings, if anyone is asking you, and you are reciting so many pages and chapters from Holy Qur'an? Yes, you may reach some mukaafaat, grants, when you are reciting, but as much as you are trying to learn, understand, and follow holy orders in holy verses, you are taking something that no one was granted before. O Salafi `ulamas! You know that Allah Almighty is saying, (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) wa li kullin darajaat, "To each there are levels." (6:132) (Mawlana Shaykh sits). What do you think about that Holy Qur'an's verse? Are you ever finding in Holy Qur'an that it is said, wa li kullin darajaat? There are some downly stations in darkness. I never read such a verse, but just I am looking, as you are looking and reciting, wa li kullin darajaat. When Allah Almighty is saying wa li kullin--you are Arabic, afsaa minal a'jim you understand--when He is saying, kulli, “With no exception, all Creation.” So is anyone remaining outside, or (is that) collecting everything? Wa li kullin darajaat, means "everyone". Allah Almighty is addressing those who offered to be followers of heavenly orders. He is asking from everyone to follow heavenly orders and it is also according Holy Qur'an giving meanings, one verse with another verse. Allah Almighty is saying (Mawlana Shaykh stands.)

laa yukallifullahu nafsa illa wusa`ha, Allah does not burden any soul more than it can bear. (2:286) (Mawlana Shaykh sits). Saying or not? Yes. When Allah Almighty offering to whole Mankind His heavenly orders, that heavenly orders going to be according to our weakness, our capacity. Allah Almighty never offering his heavenly orders, for example, loading on an elephant on an ant also. No. Therefore, Mankind, also their levels different. You can't find two of them to be on same scale or to be on same level. According to our ability and capacity, putting, ordering. O Salafi 'ulamas! amaa sami’tum, “Haven’t you heard?” that Allah Almighty, laa yukallifullahu nafsan illah wusa'ha, “Allah does not burden any soul more than it can bear.”? According to a special level, that one must keep his scale, he must do that. According to an ant's obediency, just granted to that ant according its capacity. An elephant is carrying much more, much more, much more heavenly responsibility and he is going to be asked according to his capacity. And to Mankind also, each one has a special appearance, a special being, a special personality, a special identity. Therefore, everyone is working, doing something. And the Lord of Heavens granting to them a heavenly prize. Because we are on this planet, dunya, and everyone is carrying a heavy burden. No one here is going to be without a responsibility. There are some exceptions; we are not speaking on it. But everyone has been offered something, and they are carrying that heavy burden in their lives, and the Lord of Heaven is accepting from everyone what they are doing. But there is a level up. Some creatures are under that level. But the Lord of Heavens is granting to His honored people that they are by birth, through their creation, their levels are over this planet. And He Almighty, according to what we are carrying of responsibility in this life, is granting from His endless Mercy Oceans, some levels over others. O Salafi `ulamas! Are you understanding what does it mean, wa li kullin darajaat, “There are different levels to each and every Creation.” Because they are working something, it is a heavy burden on them and because they are carrying, Allah Almighty is going to reward them according to their works or efforts on this planet. And the Lord of Heavens is giving honor on those who are making their best for their Creator. And that is reason we are saying:

laa ilaha illa Anta Subhaanak! Innee kuntu min azh-zhaalimeen, "There is no god save You, Exalted and Glorified! I am of the oppressors!" (21:87) No one on the Day of Resurrection can be without saying, laa ilaha illa Anta Subhaanak, innee kuntu min azh- zhaalimeen, that he is on the level of zhaalimeen, oppressors, because everything you are doing, something from our egos is coming in it and making it unclean. Only prophets and their real representatives are clean ones. One wali from this ummati 'l-Habeeb was saying to his mureeds, "O my sons, O my followers! I am saying to you something that you may take a lesson, you may learn how you should be obedient to the Lord of Heavens. O my students, O my followers! I am looking from 37 years up to today, and I am not remembering if I am putting my foot on a dirtiness or jumping on it." That means he is never leaving in his heart something that is not acceptable in the Divinely Presence. Everything that is not acceptable, is dirtiness and he is saying, "I am not jumping on it or stepping on it. I am trying in such a way to be clean, because I am going to His Divinely Presence." You must be always with your Lord. Don't be alone. Don't think that you are alone or that you are left alone, no! You must know that your Creator is with you and you must remember that, "My Lord is with me. Am I going to put my step on a dirtiness? That is not honor for me!" Therefore, those people who reached cleanliness through the Seal of Prophet's teachings (are aware that) Allahu nadhiree, Allahu ma'ee, “Allah is watching over me, Allah is with me.” That is the way of cleanliness; they are saying, Allahu Rabbee, Allahu nadhiree, Allahu ma`ee. He is with me, or I am with Him. Allahu nadhiree. You must remember that He is looking to you. What are you doing? Where you are putting your foot, on dirtiness or on cleanliness? Allahu nadhiree, He is looking, I am not alone because I can't be in existence if He is not going to be with me. I am with Him in existence. Allahu ma'ee, He is Present with me. He is looking to me. And what about Allah Almighty looking to you? Why you are not keeping yourself from forbidden things? Look where your eyes look, look where your tongues speak, look where your heart is occupied and He is looking to your heart! Yes, Islam is bringing heavenly addressings to Mankind, to take them up from the dirtiness of this dirty life. But people are not knowing. If they are not knowing, O Salafi `ulamas, why you are not going to be teachers? The Seal of Prophets (s) was mu’allimu annasa al-khayr. The real mission of Prophet, peace be upon him, is
http://www.sufismus-online.de/AllahIsMyLord (4 von 6)04.07.2013 23:02:47
251 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: AllahIsMyLord
to teach people what is good, what is better, what is best, and what is most beloved in the Divinely Presence. O Salafi `ulamas! Why you are always accusing? Take people and teach them how it must be. Is it not true? Teach them to say, Allahu hadhiri (Allah is Present), Allahu nasiree (Allah is looking), Allahu ma`ee (Allah is with me). You must teach people! O People! When you are looking, He is looking with you: ya'lamu khaainatu' l-'uyun, wa maa tukhfi s-sudur, He (Allah) knows what eyes are looking at and what breasts are hiding. (40:19) O Salafi `ulamas! Why you are not cleaning your eyes and your hearts? Why you are not trying to teach people such an important points? You must try to do this, to make people clean, to go to their appointment on the Day of Resurrection so they can say, "I was with my Lord, and I was keeping high respect, and I was making my actions not to be in a bad position." Why are you not teaching people not to make arguments? No, you must teach people to become insaan kaamil, a perfect human being. You must teach people for excellent dressings. May Allah forgive us. Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, `Azeez Allah Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah Yawma tublaa assaraa’ir. On the Day of Resurrection, everything we are trying to hide is going to be open and we will try not to be ashamed in the Divinely Presence. May Allah forgive me and you also, for the honor of the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) Fatihah.

As-salamu Aleykum, Ey Yaran Shah-i Mardan! wa Aleykum as-salam, wa Aleyna s-salam. O Shah-i Mardan, do come to us. Your Lovers are expecting you, they are awaiting you. So that our hearts may be filled with joy and our minds be strengthened, and our love and longing be increased. Let us walk upon the path of Allah. Come, O Shah-i Mardan. The field is yours. O Lion of Allah, O Shah-i Mardan, those who love you offer you greetings of peace. They observe your way. Madad, O Shah-i Mardan, may we be refreshed and grow stronger, and be filled with love and longing. O Lord, You are Subhan, You are Sultan. Listen to Shah-i Mardan, to what he says. O our Lord, You are Subhan, You are Sultan. For the sake of Your Beloved, Supply us with faith, O Shah-i Mardan! Supply us with love and ardour, O Shah-i Mardan! A person without love and passion, is not human, he is rubbish. Don't be rubbish, says Shah-i Mardan. Let us begin. "innahu min Sulaymana wa innahu Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim." (27:30) When the Queen of Sheba read: "innahu min Sulaymana wa innahu Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim", (27:30) when she read these words, her throne trembled and she fell down in sajda. She bowed down in awe, "innahu min Sulaymana", the prophet Sulayman, "wa innahu Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim." (27:30) Allahu Akbar. Come, O Shah-i Mardan. What lovely words, let us say: Bismillahi r- Rahmani r-Rahim - the force through which people may reach from the earth to the heavens. It is Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. This takes us from the World of Creation to the Kingdom of Heaven: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. O man, say: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Please come, o Shah-i Mardan, your Friends are ready to listen to you. Let us listen, so we may be enlightened, so our bodies find strength, and our minds and ideas might expand, and our hearts fill with joy. Let us find refreshment and relief.

Everyone who wants to find relief should say: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Every worry will go away. Come to us, O Shah-i Mardan, O Lion of Allah! We are in need of your sohba, we need your counsel. O Lord, for the sake of those You love, may we be furnished with faith. To ask Allah Almighty to give us faith, would be a breach of manners. Say: O ant, furnish me with faith. That ant will furnish you with faith. No need to seek anything above that. An ant will furnish you with faith. It will give you faith. Come, O Shah-i Mardan, your word is the truth. O Lovers of Shah-i Mardan, O you who you are in love with Shah-i Mardan! who love Shah-i Mardan! From an ant to the Lord of Might and Glory, but without going that far, just an ant, a tiny ant will provide those with faith who keep their good manners. An ant will turn into an elephant. A cat will become a lion. A horse will become a full-blooded Arabian steed. A human being will become one of those brought near [muqarrabun]. The gates of heaven will open for him if he says Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Leave this earth, the gates of heaven will open for one who says Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Allahu akbar. Come, O Shah-i Mardan, how lovely! For one who says Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim, the gates of heaven will open. "innahu min Sulaymana wa innahu Bismillahi r-Rahmani r- Rahim."(27:30) The heart of Bilqis, the Queen of Sheba opened, as the wind of faith stormed into her heart, and it filled with love like a whirlwind. Upon these words she fell from her throne and performed sajda. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. O our Lord, for the sake of the sacred Basmala, give us also love and ardent yearning, and give us strength, O Shah-i Mardan, because your supplication is accepted. O Lovers of Shah-i Mardan! If you wish for the Presence of Your Lord Most High, the guardian of that Presence is the Holy Messenger (sas); The Lord of Creation and the Kingdom of Heaven opens the way of His Beloved. Say: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Ey Yaran Shah-i Mardan, O you who love Shah-i Mardan! So many, many things will open for you, every kind of beauty, Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r- Rahim will open the gate to every paradise garden. Without Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim the gates of Paradise will not open. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim opens the gates of the eight gardens of Paradise. Do not forget this, O heedless one, says Shah-i Mardan. O man, pull yourself together. You are a human being. On this earth you are the representative of the Lord. Know your station. Know your honour, and guard it. There is no greater honour than this. Allah Almighty has made you His deputy on earth. He says, His deputy. What a fine,
http://www.sufismus-online.de/AllahIsPleasedWithThem (2 von 15)04.07.2013 23:02:48
254 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: AllahIsPleasedWithThem
great, and sublime distinction that is! I will make a deputy on earth, He said. Allah, Allah. The key to the station of deputyship - Iblis wanted to take this key, but he was not given it. Iblis did not say Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. It was the prophet Adam (as) who did. The key was given to the prophet Adam, the key of Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. The Lord of heaven and earth, the absolute Lord over all Creation and the Kingdom of Heaven, the Lord of Power and Glory gave this honour to man. Who is man? Insan-i kamil, the perfected man is Habibullah (sas). Come to us, O Shah-i Mardan. Who is he who has authority over heaven and earth, whose honour is unrivalled, who is this great servant? He is Sayyidna Muhammad Mustafa (sas). That key was given to him - Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Therefore, if a person speaks the Basmala, yet claims that his plans failed, he is a kafir. If he spoke the Basmala and claims he was unsuccessful, he is a renegade, an unbeliever. To say Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim and not to see a good outcome is impossible. Come, O Shah-i Mardan, Friends of Shah-i Mardan, we are listening to you. Let us begin, let us say: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r- Rahim, you must say this at least 7 times each day. If you like, say it 70 times, or more, as much as you like. Every time man pronounces the Basmala he is robed with a different honour. How lovely, O Shah-i Mardan. How did he step out onto the battlefield? By saying Bismillahi r- Rahmani r-Rahim and drawing his sword Dhu l-fiqar. Shah-i Mardan. O Shah-i Mardan, please teach us so we may learn from you. The miracle of the Basmala - you will never exhaust it in speech or writing. O our Lord, what a great gift we are given, the greatest of Divine Names, Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. The greatest Divine Name. Allahu Akbar. Only very few people know this. They search for the greatest Divine Name. Where are you looking for this greatest of Divine Names? The greatest of Divine Names is Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. His word will come to pass, "kun fa-yakun", you must believe this. Listen to Shah-i Mardan. O Lovers of Shahi Mardan, Do not forget the Basmala. It will give you rank, light, and honour. Oh... oh...The treasures of this world are nothing, but the key to the treasures of the Heavenly Kingdom is Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa li-llahi l-Hamd. O Shah-i Mardan, come teach us. Teach us the honour of our humanity. The honour of man and the honour of the nation of Muhammad (sas) lies in Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Do not forget this. O people, do not forget your humanity. O Shah-i Mardan, your Lovers, your Friends are listening to you. Provide them with strength, both inner and outer force, with love and
http://www.sufismus-online.de/AllahIsPleasedWithThem (3 von 15)04.07.2013 23:02:48
255 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: AllahIsPleasedWithThem
fervour. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim provides this love and ardour. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r- Rahim provides us with faith. With Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim we may attain Allah's Presence. To attain to the Presence of Allah, is the greatest state of peace. With Bismillahi r- Rahmani r-Rahim we may enter there. O mankind, you do not know yourselves. You are running after rubbish, like a crow after carrion. You are running after a carcass, and have forgotten your humanity. That is what Shah-i Mardan says. Set out, O man, to increase your rank, to gain honour. This world, this dunya, is not worth even the smallest coin. Basmala is not to be said for this world. Is Basmala spoken over a carcass? God forbid. "ad-dunya jifa" - this world is a carcass, he says. How could you say Basmala over it? You cannot. Basmala - the Basmala is pronounced so that the gates of heaven might open. The Basmala is not to be spoken for this world, do not forget that. Do not pronounce the Basmala over this world! O our Lord, Your greatest Name is contained in Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Nobody must pronounce it over this carcass. "Mulk wa malakut", mulk is not this lower world, dunya. Mulk is one thing, and this worldly rubbish is another. The world is carrion. Mulk is the Creation, which has been made sacred by Allah Almighty. It is our business, O man, to increase our spiritual powers. Our spiritual power, why should it be increased? Why do we wish to develop it? Because without spiritual power, we cannot enter into the Divine Presence. For to enter into spiritual tranquility, we need a key. This is: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Every day seven to forty times and more than forty times. Recite it as often as you wish. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Come, O Shah-i Mardan, let us set out to find true happiness. Those who are content with the world are far from faith. Love not the world. Love your Lord. Woe to the people of this time who turn away from their Lord who created them and run after the carcass of this lower world. Woe to them! Come, O Shah-i Mardan, what you speak is the Truth. It is Allah Almighty who created the world. However, He does not place the love for it in your heart. The love in your heart is reserved for the Lord of Might and Glory, for His Beloved and those whom He loves. Not one bit of the world you must hold in your heart. You will be thrown out! This person is dressed in filthy rags; bar him from the assembly! Who is clean? He who stays far away from dunya. One who stays far from the world, he is close to Allah. Closeness to Allah is attained through closeness to

256 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: AllahIsPleasedWithThem
His Beloved. That is the key. O, ya Habiballah. Ey Yaran Shah-i Mardan! Let us speak, let us speak from the oceans of love and longing. Let us plunge into the oceans of love. Don't fall into the filth of this world, stay pure! Purification is from faith, cleanliness is from faith. Whoever is not clean has no faith. Clean from what? Not by washing your hands and feet, but by cleansing your heart of worldly impurity, to purify your heart from love of the world. The love of the world is impure, filthy. Do not let it into your heart. Your heart must be kept pure. This world is impurity. Don't let it take hold of your heart. Be pure. The first command. "wa thiyabaka fa-tahhir" (74:4) Keep your dress clean. Here when "dress" is mentioned, it can mean the clothes we wear, but actually it means we should look to our roots, to the dignity of being human! Keep clean! The world is impurity; do not get mixed up in it. "thiyabaka fa-tahhir" (74:4) This 'dress' is our body. Don't abandon it to worldly impurity, keep yourself clean. Purification, in Islam purification is obligatory. Those who do not clean themselves, "innama lmushrikuna najasun." (9:28) He who wants to reach the world of Divine mysteries must be clean. "wa thiyabaka fa-tahhir."(74:4) A person seeking to reach to the world of the Divine must be pure. Pure from what? From the filth of the lower world. He must keep far away from the carrion of this dunya. O sons of Adam, "wa thiyabaka fa-tahhir."(74:4) Keep yourselves clean! Don't get involved in worldly filth; even a hill of gold, turn it down & pass. Our Holy Prophet, on whom be blessings and peace, his noble companions, those who were trained by our Holy Prophet (sas), were people who had passed all kinds of trials, the companions of the Prophet. Allah Almighty raised them in such a way that they might be the companions of His Beloved, the Noble Companions. "radiya-llahu ‘anhum wa radu ‘anhu." (98:8) "radiya-llahu ‘anhum wa radu ‘anhu."(98:8) Allah was contented with them, he says, and they were content with their Lord. How were they content? They said: "ill- Allah" [only Allah]. Nowadays people say "illa dunya" [only dunya]. They have fallen into the toilet hole of dunya. They keep struggling. That filth, let me get some more of it, you must get some more of it. O foolish people, you were not sent into the world in order to gather the dung of this dunya. Divine Love and Affection are found on the way of His Beloved. You must love the Beloved (sas), love him so that you will also be: "radiya-llahu ‘anhum wa radu ‘anhu." (98:8) Allah was satisfied with them and they were satisfied with their Lord.

245 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: AllahIsGrantingWillpowerToMan
We were saying that people (are) saying: “I like this, I like that.” Allah granted to His servants from His divinely Attribute to ask something according to their wills, but they must put their wills under His Will and (they) may say: “If my Lord (is) asking (this), I like it. If my Lord (is) not asking (this), if my Lord is not happy with my will, I am taking my will back and I am looking His Will!” We are speaking on that: “Ya man kulli assin alayka yassir.” We are speaking on the illnesses, on the bad characteristics of egos. We have been authorized to speak on it, as well as to make a cure on (these illnesses). That work, when I am coming to me, when I am sitting here to say to Allah, that is His divinely Attribute: “Oh my Lord, oh that One, every difficulty that we are going to be faced with, every kind of difficulty, it is for ourselves difficult, but the only One who is making that difficulties to disappear, to go away and to finish, to be easy, that is only You! You may do that. Every difficulty that Your servants from mankind are going to be faced with, they must not run there, here, leaving You and asking an easy way, some ways to reach to their freedom, to save themselves from difficulties. Only by Your Will it is going to be, not with our wills. If all people’s wills were coming together, it is impossible to make (the) difficulties that (are) growing through people to be solved or to come an easy way. That is very important! Don’t try yourself, by yourself, that you can save yourself from difficulties. No! Your wills, all mankind’s wills, if (they were) coming together, they can’t find a way to get out from this closed area. Because you are inside; (it is) just closed on you and the key- (He) that (is) making you through that closed area, (He) who imprisoned you, only He may be giving to you a way to get out! As the Children of Israel. Allah Almighty was giving His Judgment, His divinely Judgment: “You are now in prison. 4o years I am imprisoning you in that area, Sinai. 4o years. Finished, you are inside, I am closing on you, I am keeping the key. I may open, but I am not going to open for you, because I am giving my just Judgement that you should be punished (to be) 4o years through that prison!” And it was a free land, but they can’t escape. And just they were all buried in that area and they died… Now (for) all mankind (it is) closed on them and the key is in my pocket! I am the weakest servant to be porter on them. I closed, keeping the key with me. All of them inside, till they are coming and asking from Allah Almighty freedom; then He may order to me to open, (and) I may open. Or (else) the whole world…

may die all of them, they can’t get out… May Allah forgive us and bless you. For the honour of the most honoured one in His divinely Presence… I am nothing, but their order (is) passing through (me) as that electric wire. If (you are) giving power (through it), you can’t touch it, if not, it is an ordinary wire… I am nothing; when I am saying this, I am saying the true. But when it is ordered (for them) to be free (and) the Lord of Heavens is giving Permission, when (they are) coming and saying: “Oh our Lord, save us, save our souls, S.O.S., S.O.S., S.O.S., oh our Lord!” then (He is) opening…If (they are) not asking this- let them to come under oceans, finishing… May Allah forgive us for the honour of the most honoured one, bu hurmati-l Fatiha…Ya Rabbi, yessir, ya man kulli asiin yassir… As long as they are running away, they are falling down… Lefke, 24.06.2004, transcribed by Khairiyah Siegel

is new. New appearances, new unexpected Blessing Oceans, unexpected Power Oceans, unexpected Glory Oceans. O our Lord! Laa shareeka la, there can never be any partner for You! La ilaaha illa Anta Subhaanak! O Salafi `ulamas! How many times are you saying la ilaaha illa Anta Subhaanak, innee kuntu min adh- zhaalimeen, “There is no god except You! Glory be to You! truly I was one of the oppressors?" Are you accepting la ilaaha illa Anta Subhaanak, innee kuntu min azh-zhaalimeen? You are saying no, you are not zhaalim, but when we are following our ego’s desires they are going to be written on the table of zhaalimeen. Yes! Is it Holy Qur'an? Are you thinking it is a story book or history book? Everything in Holy Qur'an from beginning up to end is for teaching, and when He Almighty is teaching, He is asking, "What did you learn?" Who is the teacher for the ummah, Ummati 'l-Habeeb? (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! Do you know that his name is mu`allimu 'n-naas ul-khayr, “The teacher of goodness to Mankind!” (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) Yes, and he is saying that he is teaching all Mankind, including prophets, including their followers! Sayyidi 'l- awwaleen wa’l-akhireen, the Seal of Prophets (s) is a teacher; he is teaching. What did you learn today from his teachings, if anyone is asking you, and you are reciting so many pages and chapters from Holy Qur'an? Yes, you may reach some mukaafaat, grants, when you are reciting, but as much as you are trying to learn, understand, and follow holy orders in holy verses, you are taking something that no one was granted before. O Salafi `ulamas! You know that Allah Almighty is saying, (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) wa li kullin darajaat, "To each there are levels." (6:132) (Mawlana Shaykh sits). What do you think about that Holy Qur'an's verse? Are you ever finding in Holy Qur'an that it is said, wa li kullin darajaat? There are some downly stations in darkness. I never read such a verse, but just I am looking, as you are looking and reciting, wa li kullin darajaat. When Allah Almighty is saying wa li kullin--you are Arabic, afsaa minal a'jim you understand--when He is saying, kulli, “With no exception, all Creation.” So is anyone remaining outside, or (is that) collecting everything? Wa li kullin darajaat, means "everyone". Allah Almighty is addressing those who offered to be followers of heavenly orders. He is asking from everyone to follow heavenly orders and it is also according Holy Qur'an giving meanings, one verse with another verse. Allah Almighty is saying (Mawlana Shaykh stands.)

laa yukallifullahu nafsa illa wusa`ha, Allah does not burden any soul more than it can bear. (2:286) (Mawlana Shaykh sits). Saying or not? Yes. When Allah Almighty offering to whole Mankind His heavenly orders, that heavenly orders going to be according to our weakness, our capacity. Allah Almighty never offering his heavenly orders, for example, loading on an elephant on an ant also. No. Therefore, Mankind, also their levels different. You can't find two of them to be on same scale or to be on same level. According to our ability and capacity, putting, ordering. O Salafi 'ulamas! amaa sami’tum, “Haven’t you heard?” that Allah Almighty, laa yukallifullahu nafsan illah wusa'ha, “Allah does not burden any soul more than it can bear.”? According to a special level, that one must keep his scale, he must do that. According to an ant's obediency, just granted to that ant according its capacity. An elephant is carrying much more, much more, much more heavenly responsibility and he is going to be asked according to his capacity. And to Mankind also, each one has a special appearance, a special being, a special personality, a special identity. Therefore, everyone is working, doing something. And the Lord of Heavens granting to them a heavenly prize. Because we are on this planet, dunya, and everyone is carrying a heavy burden. No one here is going to be without a responsibility. There are some exceptions; we are not speaking on it. But everyone has been offered something, and they are carrying that heavy burden in their lives, and the Lord of Heaven is accepting from everyone what they are doing. But there is a level up. Some creatures are under that level. But the Lord of Heavens is granting to His honored people that they are by birth, through their creation, their levels are over this planet. And He Almighty, according to what we are carrying of responsibility in this life, is granting from His endless Mercy Oceans, some levels over others. O Salafi `ulamas! Are you understanding what does it mean, wa li kullin darajaat, “There are different levels to each and every Creation.” Because they are working something, it is a heavy burden on them and because they are carrying, Allah Almighty is going to reward them according to their works or efforts on this planet. And the Lord of Heavens is giving honor on those who are making their best for their Creator. And that is reason we are saying:

laa ilaha illa Anta Subhaanak! Innee kuntu min azh-zhaalimeen, "There is no god save You, Exalted and Glorified! I am of the oppressors!" (21:87) No one on the Day of Resurrection can be without saying, laa ilaha illa Anta Subhaanak, innee kuntu min azh- zhaalimeen, that he is on the level of zhaalimeen, oppressors, because everything you are doing, something from our egos is coming in it and making it unclean. Only prophets and their real representatives are clean ones. One wali from this ummati 'l-Habeeb was saying to his mureeds, "O my sons, O my followers! I am saying to you something that you may take a lesson, you may learn how you should be obedient to the Lord of Heavens. O my students, O my followers! I am looking from 37 years up to today, and I am not remembering if I am putting my foot on a dirtiness or jumping on it." That means he is never leaving in his heart something that is not acceptable in the Divinely Presence. Everything that is not acceptable, is dirtiness and he is saying, "I am not jumping on it or stepping on it. I am trying in such a way to be clean, because I am going to His Divinely Presence." You must be always with your Lord. Don't be alone. Don't think that you are alone or that you are left alone, no! You must know that your Creator is with you and you must remember that, "My Lord is with me. Am I going to put my step on a dirtiness? That is not honor for me!" Therefore, those people who reached cleanliness through the Seal of Prophet's teachings (are aware that) Allahu nadhiree, Allahu ma'ee, “Allah is watching over me, Allah is with me.” That is the way of cleanliness; they are saying, Allahu Rabbee, Allahu nadhiree, Allahu ma`ee. He is with me, or I am with Him. Allahu nadhiree. You must remember that He is looking to you. What are you doing? Where you are putting your foot, on dirtiness or on cleanliness? Allahu nadhiree, He is looking, I am not alone because I can't be in existence if He is not going to be with me. I am with Him in existence. Allahu ma'ee, He is Present with me. He is looking to me. And what about Allah Almighty looking to you? Why you are not keeping yourself from forbidden things? Look where your eyes look, look where your tongues speak, look where your heart is occupied and He is looking to your heart! Yes, Islam is bringing heavenly addressings to Mankind, to take them up from the dirtiness of this dirty life. But people are not knowing. If they are not knowing, O Salafi `ulamas, why you are not going to be teachers? The Seal of Prophets (s) was mu’allimu annasa al-khayr. The real mission of Prophet, peace be upon him, is
http://www.sufismus-online.de/AllahIsMyLord (4 von 6)04.07.2013 23:02:47
251 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: AllahIsMyLord
to teach people what is good, what is better, what is best, and what is most beloved in the Divinely Presence. O Salafi `ulamas! Why you are always accusing? Take people and teach them how it must be. Is it not true? Teach them to say, Allahu hadhiri (Allah is Present), Allahu nasiree (Allah is looking), Allahu ma`ee (Allah is with me). You must teach people! O People! When you are looking, He is looking with you: ya'lamu khaainatu' l-'uyun, wa maa tukhfi s-sudur, He (Allah) knows what eyes are looking at and what breasts are hiding. (40:19) O Salafi `ulamas! Why you are not cleaning your eyes and your hearts? Why you are not trying to teach people such an important points? You must try to do this, to make people clean, to go to their appointment on the Day of Resurrection so they can say, "I was with my Lord, and I was keeping high respect, and I was making my actions not to be in a bad position." Why are you not teaching people not to make arguments? No, you must teach people to become insaan kaamil, a perfect human being. You must teach people for excellent dressings. May Allah forgive us. Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, `Azeez Allah Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah Yawma tublaa assaraa’ir. On the Day of Resurrection, everything we are trying to hide is going to be open and we will try not to be ashamed in the Divinely Presence. May Allah forgive me and you also, for the honor of the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) Fatihah.

As-salamu Aleykum, Ey Yaran Shah-i Mardan! wa Aleykum as-salam, wa Aleyna s-salam. O Shah-i Mardan, do come to us. Your Lovers are expecting you, they are awaiting you. So that our hearts may be filled with joy and our minds be strengthened, and our love and longing be increased. Let us walk upon the path of Allah. Come, O Shah-i Mardan. The field is yours. O Lion of Allah, O Shah-i Mardan, those who love you offer you greetings of peace. They observe your way. Madad, O Shah-i Mardan, may we be refreshed and grow stronger, and be filled with love and longing. O Lord, You are Subhan, You are Sultan. Listen to Shah-i Mardan, to what he says. O our Lord, You are Subhan, You are Sultan. For the sake of Your Beloved, Supply us with faith, O Shah-i Mardan! Supply us with love and ardour, O Shah-i Mardan! A person without love and passion, is not human, he is rubbish. Don't be rubbish, says Shah-i Mardan. Let us begin. "innahu min Sulaymana wa innahu Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim." (27:30) When the Queen of Sheba read: "innahu min Sulaymana wa innahu Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim", (27:30) when she read these words, her throne trembled and she fell down in sajda. She bowed down in awe, "innahu min Sulaymana", the prophet Sulayman, "wa innahu Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim." (27:30) Allahu Akbar. Come, O Shah-i Mardan. What lovely words, let us say: Bismillahi r- Rahmani r-Rahim - the force through which people may reach from the earth to the heavens. It is Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. This takes us from the World of Creation to the Kingdom of Heaven: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. O man, say: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Please come, o Shah-i Mardan, your Friends are ready to listen to you. Let us listen, so we may be enlightened, so our bodies find strength, and our minds and ideas might expand, and our hearts fill with joy. Let us find refreshment and relief.

Everyone who wants to find relief should say: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Every worry will go away. Come to us, O Shah-i Mardan, O Lion of Allah! We are in need of your sohba, we need your counsel. O Lord, for the sake of those You love, may we be furnished with faith. To ask Allah Almighty to give us faith, would be a breach of manners. Say: O ant, furnish me with faith. That ant will furnish you with faith. No need to seek anything above that. An ant will furnish you with faith. It will give you faith. Come, O Shah-i Mardan, your word is the truth. O Lovers of Shah-i Mardan, O you who you are in love with Shah-i Mardan! who love Shah-i Mardan! From an ant to the Lord of Might and Glory, but without going that far, just an ant, a tiny ant will provide those with faith who keep their good manners. An ant will turn into an elephant. A cat will become a lion. A horse will become a full-blooded Arabian steed. A human being will become one of those brought near [muqarrabun]. The gates of heaven will open for him if he says Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Leave this earth, the gates of heaven will open for one who says Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Allahu akbar. Come, O Shah-i Mardan, how lovely! For one who says Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim, the gates of heaven will open. "innahu min Sulaymana wa innahu Bismillahi r-Rahmani r- Rahim."(27:30) The heart of Bilqis, the Queen of Sheba opened, as the wind of faith stormed into her heart, and it filled with love like a whirlwind. Upon these words she fell from her throne and performed sajda. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. O our Lord, for the sake of the sacred Basmala, give us also love and ardent yearning, and give us strength, O Shah-i Mardan, because your supplication is accepted. O Lovers of Shah-i Mardan! If you wish for the Presence of Your Lord Most High, the guardian of that Presence is the Holy Messenger (sas); The Lord of Creation and the Kingdom of Heaven opens the way of His Beloved. Say: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Ey Yaran Shah-i Mardan, O you who love Shah-i Mardan! So many, many things will open for you, every kind of beauty, Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r- Rahim will open the gate to every paradise garden. Without Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim the gates of Paradise will not open. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim opens the gates of the eight gardens of Paradise. Do not forget this, O heedless one, says Shah-i Mardan. O man, pull yourself together. You are a human being. On this earth you are the representative of the Lord. Know your station. Know your honour, and guard it. There is no greater honour than this. Allah Almighty has made you His deputy on earth. He says, His deputy. What a fine,

great, and sublime distinction that is! I will make a deputy on earth, He said. Allah, Allah. The key to the station of deputyship - Iblis wanted to take this key, but he was not given it. Iblis did not say Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. It was the prophet Adam (as) who did. The key was given to the prophet Adam, the key of Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. The Lord of heaven and earth, the absolute Lord over all Creation and the Kingdom of Heaven, the Lord of Power and Glory gave this honour to man. Who is man? Insan-i kamil, the perfected man is Habibullah (sas). Come to us, O Shah-i Mardan. Who is he who has authority over heaven and earth, whose honour is unrivalled, who is this great servant? He is Sayyidna Muhammad Mustafa (sas). That key was given to him - Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Therefore, if a person speaks the Basmala, yet claims that his plans failed, he is a kafir. If he spoke the Basmala and claims he was unsuccessful, he is a renegade, an unbeliever. To say Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim and not to see a good outcome is impossible. Come, O Shah-i Mardan, Friends of Shah-i Mardan, we are listening to you. Let us begin, let us say: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r- Rahim, you must say this at least 7 times each day. If you like, say it 70 times, or more, as much as you like. Every time man pronounces the Basmala he is robed with a different honour. How lovely, O Shah-i Mardan. How did he step out onto the battlefield? By saying Bismillahi r- Rahmani r-Rahim and drawing his sword Dhu l-fiqar. Shah-i Mardan. O Shah-i Mardan, please teach us so we may learn from you. The miracle of the Basmala - you will never exhaust it in speech or writing. O our Lord, what a great gift we are given, the greatest of Divine Names, Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. The greatest Divine Name. Allahu Akbar. Only very few people know this. They search for the greatest Divine Name. Where are you looking for this greatest of Divine Names? The greatest of Divine Names is Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. His word will come to pass, "kun fa-yakun", you must believe this. Listen to Shah-i Mardan. O Lovers of Shahi Mardan, Do not forget the Basmala. It will give you rank, light, and honour. Oh... oh...The treasures of this world are nothing, but the key to the treasures of the Heavenly Kingdom is Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa li-llahi l-Hamd. O Shah-i Mardan, come teach us. Teach us the honour of our humanity. The honour of man and the honour of the nation of Muhammad (sas) lies in Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Do not forget this. O people, do not forget your humanity. O Shah-i Mardan, your Lovers, your Friends are listening to you. Provide them with strength, both inner and outer force, with love and

fervour. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim provides this love and ardour. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r- Rahim provides us with faith. With Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim we may attain Allah's Presence. To attain to the Presence of Allah, is the greatest state of peace. With Bismillahi r- Rahmani r-Rahim we may enter there. O mankind, you do not know yourselves. You are running after rubbish, like a crow after carrion. You are running after a carcass, and have forgotten your humanity. That is what Shah-i Mardan says. Set out, O man, to increase your rank, to gain honour. This world, this dunya, is not worth even the smallest coin. Basmala is not to be said for this world. Is Basmala spoken over a carcass? God forbid. "ad-dunya jifa" - this world is a carcass, he says. How could you say Basmala over it? You cannot. Basmala - the Basmala is pronounced so that the gates of heaven might open. The Basmala is not to be spoken for this world, do not forget that. Do not pronounce the Basmala over this world! O our Lord, Your greatest Name is contained in Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Nobody must pronounce it over this carcass. "Mulk wa malakut", mulk is not this lower world, dunya. Mulk is one thing, and this worldly rubbish is another. The world is carrion. Mulk is the Creation, which has been made sacred by Allah Almighty. It is our business, O man, to increase our spiritual powers. Our spiritual power, why should it be increased? Why do we wish to develop it? Because without spiritual power, we cannot enter into the Divine Presence. For to enter into spiritual tranquility, we need a key. This is: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Every day seven to forty times and more than forty times. Recite it as often as you wish. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Come, O Shah-i Mardan, let us set out to find true happiness. Those who are content with the world are far from faith. Love not the world. Love your Lord. Woe to the people of this time who turn away from their Lord who created them and run after the carcass of this lower world. Woe to them! Come, O Shah-i Mardan, what you speak is the Truth. It is Allah Almighty who created the world. However, He does not place the love for it in your heart. The love in your heart is reserved for the Lord of Might and Glory, for His Beloved and those whom He loves. Not one bit of the world you must hold in your heart. You will be thrown out! This person is dressed in filthy rags; bar him from the assembly! Who is clean? He who stays far away from dunya. One who stays far from the world, he is close to Allah. Closeness to Allah is attained through closeness to

His Beloved. That is the key. O, ya Habiballah. Ey Yaran Shah-i Mardan! Let us speak, let us speak from the oceans of love and longing. Let us plunge into the oceans of love. Don't fall into the filth of this world, stay pure! Purification is from faith, cleanliness is from faith. Whoever is not clean has no faith. Clean from what? Not by washing your hands and feet, but by cleansing your heart of worldly impurity, to purify your heart from love of the world. The love of the world is impure, filthy. Do not let it into your heart. Your heart must be kept pure. This world is impurity. Don't let it take hold of your heart. Be pure. The first command. "wa thiyabaka fa-tahhir" (74:4) Keep your dress clean. Here when "dress" is mentioned, it can mean the clothes we wear, but actually it means we should look to our roots, to the dignity of being human! Keep clean! The world is impurity; do not get mixed up in it. "thiyabaka fa-tahhir" (74:4) This 'dress' is our body. Don't abandon it to worldly impurity, keep yourself clean. Purification, in Islam purification is obligatory. Those who do not clean themselves, "innama lmushrikuna najasun." (9:28) He who wants to reach the world of Divine mysteries must be clean. "wa thiyabaka fa-tahhir."(74:4) A person seeking to reach to the world of the Divine must be pure. Pure from what? From the filth of the lower world. He must keep far away from the carrion of this dunya. O sons of Adam, "wa thiyabaka fa-tahhir."(74:4) Keep yourselves clean! Don't get involved in worldly filth; even a hill of gold, turn it down & pass. Our Holy Prophet, on whom be blessings and peace, his noble companions, those who were trained by our Holy Prophet (sas), were people who had passed all kinds of trials, the companions of the Prophet. Allah Almighty raised them in such a way that they might be the companions of His Beloved, the Noble Companions. "radiya-llahu ‘anhum wa radu ‘anhu." (98:8) "radiya-llahu ‘anhum wa radu ‘anhu."(98:8) Allah was contented with them, he says, and they were content with their Lord. How were they content? They said: "ill- Allah" [only Allah]. Nowadays people say "illa dunya" [only dunya]. They have fallen into the toilet hole of dunya. They keep struggling. That filth, let me get some more of it, you must get some more of it. O foolish people, you were not sent into the world in order to gather the dung of this dunya. Divine Love and Affection are found on the way of His Beloved. You must love the Beloved (sas), love him so that you will also be: "radiya-llahu ‘anhum wa radu ‘anhu." (98:8) Allah was satisfied with them and they were satisfied with their Lord. Be content, O man, be content with your Lord,
