black hole disappears and no one knows where they went to, finished. People are observing only black holes in space, but in this world you can find different sizes of black holes everywhere, attracting people to them although they are never apparent. Therefore, we are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem (Mawlana Shaykh sits).

Ad-deenu naseeha, "Islam is advice." Islam is teaching people good ways and calling them to a good future here and Hereafter. Also, Islam is warning, "O People! Around you are countless black tunnels." They may see black holes in space, but here in this world they are not talking of black holes, although we may say "black tunnels", nafaq. They are making so many ornaments at the entrance of those black tunnels and Shaytan is calling, "O People! It is free, free, free!" People see so many ornaments there, and when they approach the magnetic power sends them inside and they are finished. All prophets came to wake people up and make everything around them clear. We are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. We must always say, a`oodhu billahi min ash- Shaytani 'r-rajeem, because Shaytan and those shaytanic groups are carrying people to such terrible ends that they are never seen in existence again. It is a chance that has been granted once; keep it well. If you lose it, there is no second chance for people to come to this life. They will ask, "O Rabbee, send us once again and we will be Your obedient servants, keeping Your orders!" But no, the answer comes, "You will be there for Eternity!" Allah Almighty creates and what He created is coming into existence and then leaving. Some of them are running into shining tunnels, and they will not be advertisers at the entrance of shaytanic or dark tunnels. There will be very few people coming there, according to prophets' advice. If one thousand, one million, one billion, or one trillion people are entering it, the outlook is so dark. But prophets' advice is to accept heavenly orders and they are defending the prophets' invitation. It appears so difficult, so people are running to the tunnel with the shining entrance, but after passing through they reach a dark tunnel such that no one knows where it will end. But at that second tunnel no one is looking or interested, because it appears to be so difficult. Believers are running into it, passing through a passage, and then an opening to Eternity comes. And people in this life are going to be tested, but mostly people are not using their mentalities or good will, and they are following their egoistic pleasures and running in it and falling in endless dark tunnels. O People! We must think on it because no one is living here forever. Billions of people are just coming on this planet, dunya, and disappearing. May Allah Almighty protect us! Don't think that everyday the same people

are running in the streets, no! Try to follow heavenly ones' advice. Holy ones are those who belong to the Lord of Heavens' servanthood. Try also to be servants of the Lord of Creation. Servanthood is the highest rank Man may reach. Follow the way of prophets. Try to follow their followers also; you will always find them in every time. O Wahabi people and Salafi `ulamas! Allah Almighty is saying: (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Koonu ma` as-saadiqeen, Be with those who are true (in word and deed). (9:119) (Mawlana Shaykh sits) I am asking them to follow that heavenly advice, Koonu ma` as-saadiqeen. It is not only for the time of Sahaabah (r), it is for all Mankind! Follow true ones, because mostly people have been cheated by shaytanic agents and are thinking they are on the true way, but they are on the wrong way. Humanity can't be saved in this century if they do not ask for true ones to follow. If Mankind does not follow true ones, their final station is going to be those black tunnels. Don't be cheated by Shaytan and it's countless representatives. We are asking forgiveness from Allah Almighty!We are in the holy night of Sha`baan Mu`azzam and next week it will be Holy Ramadan. Try to take shaytanic dressing away from your body; try to dress in heavenly dress and put on the belt of service. Waiters and servants used this when they were in service. We must try to put servant's belts on for Allah! Leave that month for Allah Almighty's service. It is one month, and we gave our oath for our whole life! If we are not doing that, then we must try to keep that service for a limited number of days in Ramadan and He will accept it. But people are saying, "No we can't be saabireen, among the patient ones, that we are not eating or drinking in our houses!" And they are not trying to train their rides for heavenly service. That is from our egos' nafsuka matiyatuk. O Salafiyoon and Wahhabiyoon! How are you dealing with your ego, nafs? You must deal with your ego as a person deals with his donkey, carrying a stick in his hand, so if that animal deviates he will hit it, making it go straight again. And so many strikes are warning, "O People! Come and do your best service for your Lord!" But people do not understand, saying, "We are trying to give our best service to our rides." Therefore, the whole world is under a heavy and terrible burden; no one knows what is coming to all people, all nations, and all tyrants from Heavens. Allah Almighty is not sleeping, haasha! He is saying, "We are not leaving them as

they think, with no one controlling. They think they are uncontrolled creatures. Uncontrolled creatures are animals, but you are controlled! We are looking at what you are doing and intending.” And people are saying, "O Shaykh! We are in a very bad economical crisis." Ptuuh (spit) on you and your "economical crisis"! It is a crisis of servanthood, because they left it and therefore cursing is coming on them! There are countless kinds of cursing coming on people and only one of those is the economical crisis! It is not a money problem, it is something else. What they are eating is going to be like poison for them. Everything is poisoning them, because they are running away from their Creator and leaving their oaths! They are acting against their oaths and so many kinds of troubles are coming on them and poisoning them. Every forbidden work or action is a kind of curse, and cursing is the beginning or main reason not to be keeping their oath with their Lord. So many people's companies are now bankrupt, with no goodness, and they are running after Shaytan and then crying, "We are in such a bad condition!" You ran into it! When you forget your oath to Allah Almighty, punishment is coming. Everything is reaching those who are not keeping their promises, even that virus. O our Lord, yaa Rabbana! (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Yaa Sayyidi 'l-awwaleen wa ’l-akhireen. (Mawlana Shaykh sits) Ishfa` lana yamlikoon thumma zaahiroon. We are expecting that You are giving good tidings about the last khalifah, Sayyidina Mahdi (a), ajaabana'Llah. Bi jaahihi `indak bi sirr Surat al-Fatihah. (40 minutes) Fatihah Lefke, 30.07.2010

l
CRITICISM OF THE TRUE ONES and the ENVY FOR ISLAM Everyday I ask my Lord to protect us from deviating from the Path of Truth, to keep us from tumbling into a deep abyss. We must constantly ask for such protection as we are living in a time which the Holy Prophet Muhammed (sal) has described: “…when good people will be thought of as bad people, and bad people as good: honest people as liars and liars as honest people; deceivers as trustworthy people and trustworthy people as deceivers.” These are the conditions prevalent in our time; every moral value is turned upside- down so that people can no longer distinguish between good and evil. We are asking our Lord Almighty to steady us on the Path of Truth and to help us adhere to it even if many people attack us and insist that we are misguided. And because we have been informed by the Holy Prophet Muhammed (sal) that true people will come under such heavy criticism in the last times we are heartened by such criticism and take it as verification of our being on a true way. Whoever is asking about us must be told that we are following a Sufi Way, the Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Tariqah. This information alone is enough to touch off a torrent of heavy criticism from many people, especially Muslims. Upon hearing the word “Tariqah” they will automatically object and deny the validity of the Sufi Way. They will rant and rave on about how misguided we are, without even having inquired about us personally or about our practices. The bad assumptions about anything called “Sufi” will lead them to slander people they know nothing about. Should they not be ashamed to judge people they have never met on the basis of bigoted opinions? Of course they should be ashamed, but they are not: that is a sure sign that we are on the right way, in

2054 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: CriticismOfTheTrueOnes
accordance with that saying of our Holy Prophet Muhammed (sal). The animosity that most Muslims show towards the followers of the Sufi Path is indeed a sign of the last times. Up until fifty years ago the Sufi Orders, and especially the Naqshbandiyya, were universally accepted by the scholars and Imams of most Muslim countries. No one of any rank or importance would show such antagonism towards Sufis: indeed, the Sufis were held in great esteem by religious scholars, many of whom submitted themselves to Sufi Sheikhs as their humble followers. Truth and purity were recognized as such, for those were times when some perspective still remained with people. But nowadays we can observe so many “religious scholars” sprouting up like mushrooms – without roots – who object to the Sufi Way. Yes, in our time the Holy Prophet Muhammed’s (sal) prophecy is being fulfilled, and the viewpoints of a formerly isolated and condemned sects are being universally propagated through the power of unearned money. Quickly the beliefs that Sunni Muslims have held for fourteen hundred years, which recognized the necessity of the inner work of the Sufis, have been replaced by a dry externalist doctrine. So many of today’s Muslims are embracing the beliefs and outlook of that externalist sect. Usually the ones who espouse those doctrines most ardently are people from a certain socio-economic class in the Muslim World. They are the rich, high-life people the highly “educated”, well-to-do, who have attained a luxurious standard of living. Why do such people deny Tariqas? As much as such people may try to reason out their opposition to the Sufi Way, the real reason for their opposition to Tariqas is that Tariqas stress the importance of preparation for eternal life, ranking it where it belongs – in first place; all concerns of this life are held secondary to that. The opponents of Sufism try to justify their extreme love of this world and its pleasures by twisting Islamic teaching and ignoring the thousands of Qur’anic Verses and Prophetic Traditions which warn them: “The worldly life is but a game for you to play
http://www.sufismus-online.de/CriticismOfTheTrueOnes (2 von 5)04.07.2013 23:13:24
2055 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: CriticismOfTheTrueOnes
among yourselves, seeing who can accumulate more riches and offspring, taking pleasure in it like the farmer who sees his crops flourishing, then suffering disappointment when it all turns yellow and dries up”, and: “The love of the world is the origin of every sin”, and: “The world is a cadaver and those who seek to devour it are dogs.” It enrages those people when they hear that we are practicing “Dhikr Allah”, Remembrance of Allah, and repeating His Holy Name: “Allah, Allah, Allah…” They accuse us of making harmful innovations in the religion, when, in reality, there are over one-thousand Qur’anic Verses alone, not to mention Prophetic Traditions, in which our Lord Almighty orders us to “Remember Him”, “Glorify Him”, “Praise Him” and “Call upon Him”. He has ordered this that we may approach His Divine Presence, as every repetition of our Lord’s Name increases the love of Him in our hearts. But the people who object to Tariqahs are in love with this life only, and demand that it be praised at least as much as Allah is praised. In reality they worship this world’s pleasures as a partner to Allah, and no such association is ever acceptable to Him Almighty, as He has said: “We have not created two hearts in the breast of men.” But in our Way we are taught to recognize that our love for this world is preventing us from attaining the true reality of worship, is keeping us from true monotheism, and therefore we are trying to downgrade worldliness from its present supreme position and are seeking to enthrone the love of God in our hearts. We love our Lord, and we are asking Him to love us. Therefore, we try to occupy our whole hearts with the love of our Lord and are going to do our best to encourage others to occupy their hearts with that Divine Love as well. This we seek to accomplish through Dhikr, the remembrance of our Lord, despite the insistent efforts of Satan and his armies to dissuade us from following this way by making us drunk with this life’s pleasures. There is further proof that we are on a right way, apart from the criticism by Muslims of
http://www.sufismus-online.de/CriticismOfTheTrueOnes (3 von 5)04.07.2013 23:13:24
2056 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: CriticismOfTheTrueOnes
other Muslims who follow Tariqahs. Nowadays more and more non Muslims are leveling criticism at Islam, and unbelievers are more and more vocally criticizing religion in general. Even to believe in God in our time means exposing oneself to ridicule; unbelief has become the dominant fashion, and, in large portions of the world, state policy. Islam in particular is a target for such people: even people who call themselves Christians and Jews and profess belief in God are attacking Islam. Usually they center their attacks on “Islam’s stringent moral code”, although the original and authentic moral codes of their religions were once very similar to ours. But in our time the moral authority once exercised by those religions over their adherents has been eroded to such an extent that nothing remains of most people’s Christianity or Judaism except, perhaps, to say: “I am Christian” or “I am Jewish.” Therefore, some adherents of those religions envy Islam for having preserved such pervasive influence over all aspects of people’s lives in the Islamic World. They envy Islam for its success in bringing spiritual dimensions into the everyday life and actions of the Muslim. The result of this envy is that they loudly criticize Islam for “not allowing enough personal freedom” and “being too severe.” They would, of course, like to see Muslims leave their religion altogether, but short of attaining that ultimate goal they would be satisfied to see Islam relegated to being a marginal force in the lives of Muslims just as Christianity has become in the lives of Christians; yes, they would have us suffer that same miserable fate. The main reason for which all of these groups (materialistic Muslims, “reformed Christians and Jews”, as well as the outright unbelievers) criticize our Way is that we are seeking to purify ourselves by controlling our ego’s whims; that we are brave enough to stand up against the lower self and its desires. We recognize that the only way to approach God is to strengthen our souls sufficiently that they may gain control over our egos. By this the egos of those people feel threatened, as “the truth hurts.”

The Crossroads Between Two Ways
We are reaching the end of this life, not our lives, but the period of our world is going to end. And now people have mostly changed; before they gave high respect to Allah Almighty, but now they run after Shaytan. O My Followers! I am asking from you to keep the Right Way, not the wrong way. There are only two ways: the Right Way, which takes you to the Divinely Presence in Paradise, leading you to endless, Eternal Life, and the wrong way! I fear to step on the wrong way. Who steps on the wrong way are followers of Shaytan, who will be in hells along with his followers for Eternity! There is an Eternity for good ones and another for bad ones. Try to make your names written on the tablet of believers and good ones, and beware that your names are not written on the tablets of Shaytan and his followers. Keep yourself! Try to keep holy orders of Allah Almighty or you will regret it! May Allah Almighty make you on the Right Way and thankful to Him. Don't follow the ways of Shaytan! Thank you. (Bay`a) O our Lord! Keep Your weak servants on the Right Way, which is Your biggest grant for weak servants, and we are trying to be even very weak servants for You, O our Lord! We never like to be shaytans, enemy of

Keep the Right Way you believe in, and if anyone says you are on wrong way, tell him, “We are on the way of the Seal of Prophets (s)!"

(Mawlana Shaykh Nazim sits.) Madad, yaa Sultan al-Anbiya! O People! As-salaamu `alaykum! Greetings to the believers from heavenly peoplem for the honor of the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh Nazim stands and sits.) Allah Almighty is greeting him (s) and his nation, particularly in this holy month of Ramadan. Heavenly ones are also greeting the nation of the Seal of Prophets (s), and if they hadn’t accepted Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa ’l-akhireen as the Seal of Prophets, Allah Almighty would have never granted them to be prophets in the first place. Every honored one in Creation is taking honor solely for the honor of Prophet (s). Those who have been honored by their Lord, including prophets, could not have attained those stations if not for the honor of Prophet (s). All of Creation, including Mankind, jinn and angels, are asking to be granted honor for the sake of that honored one (s). Allah (swt) gives honor to those who honor His Prophet (s), so we must be happy that Allah Almighty has granted us to be from his nation. May Allah grant us to follow on the same steps, to honor that one (s)

who has been granted honor from pre-Eternal up to Eternity. O People! O Mankind! You must try to learn something for your life. Why are we in Creation, in existence? The Lord of Heavens never creates something without a reason; anything that is granted must be for a reason. The Children of Adam were not created except that the Lord Almighty first created His most beloved one (s) and appointed him as muwassil, His representative and intermediary. When the Lord of Heavens created the Seal of Prophets (s) it was for a reason, and he was first created in the Divine Presence. Allah Almighty does not even create an atom without a reason, which is to give honor for His most beloved servant and honored representative (s). The Seal of Prophets (s) was created to be the representative of The One Who created him and His Creation. No one knows when Creation came into existence. His representative has been dressed with such honor for Eternity with what no one else was granted before. For the Prophet’s honor, the Lord of Heavens is giving honor to Mankind. Therefore, Mankind was created for his honor! All honor has been granted to the Seal of Prophets (s) the Lord's representative, or the “crown prince,” if we may say that. Every king has a crown prince and Sayyidina Muhammad (s) is that one, as there can only be one crown prince! A king may have twenty princes, but the honor of being a crown prince is only for one, not others. The Lord of Heavens! The Lord of Everything! No one knows Allah Almighty's position, as it is impossible to know. Allah Almighty was asking to be known, so He created the Seal of Prophets (s) and his nation, and no doubt all nations belong to him! So we have been honored to be the Lord's “representatives,” who are in need to know their crown prince. People know Allah Almighty is Malik ul-Mulook, the King of Kings, but no one knows the beginning or the ending of His Kingdom. He asked to be known, so He brought the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s) in Creation. (Mawlana Shaykh Nazim stands and sits.) He created everything, and He wanted to be known and seen, so He made the Seal of Prophets (s). He brought him from His Divine Presence as a sign that he should be on behalf of his Creator for all Creation when they asked, "Where is our Lord?" It is impossible to see Allah Almighty, as He is Malik ul-Mulook, Sultan of Sultans! However, He has a crown prince, who must have his Lord's attributes or otherwise He cannot be known. So from pre-Eternity to Eternity, Allah Almighty granted the Seal of Prophets (s) to be for all creatures who were asking about their
http://www.sufismus-online.de/CrownPrinceOfCreation (2 von 4)04.07.2013 23:13:25
2062 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: CrownPrinceOfCreation
Lord’s Existence. Regarding everything in Creation, people may ask, "To Whom does this existence belong?" and they may reach through that one whom the Lord of Heavens made Crown Prince (s) for all Creation! Allah Almighty is not in need of a crown prince, but creatures are in need, as they cannot reach the real existence of their Lord. Therefore, He brought one from His unknown Majestic Oceans to be His Crown Prince. This is a subject no one can enter into, finished! We have been honored to be from his nation and to know something, and that knowledge is giving people honor, as without knowledge there is no honor! He Almighty is asking to give honor for His Creation, ma`arifatullah, to know about their Lord. Therefore, Allah Almighty sent 124,000 prophets representing the Seal of Prophets (s), the Crown Prince, throughout their nations. The more you know, the more you will reach glory and majesty from heavenly ones! O People! We think we have been created by chance, but no! Everyone was created in a particular form and understanding. Man is the most important creature among all Creation, from pre-Eternity to Eternity. Try to learn this, that all prophets came to open a door for their nations to be honored with such heavenly honors! But people have no minds; they never use their understanding to know something about this life. I am sorry to say that peoples’ understanding is only to kill each other and to sit on a seat that has no value. That is their main purpose or target, to sit on a chair that has no value, and they are leaving behind the real treasures, running to be donkeys for their egos or for Shaytan, and running after their donkeys' desires. This is the reason why people in our days are preparing themselves to kill and destroy; that is their target. Now everyone is putting the power of technology in their hands, using nuclear missiles and atomic bombs as they like, but this is not the real identity for Mankind! People have now reached a level under that of animals, who are not trying to make such terrible weapons against each other. Through technology, Mankind is trying to reach a position in order to kill everyone and therefore, their levels are coming down, down, down. Mankind is approaching darkness and positions of the dark world, and the Lord of Heavens is showing them black holes, saying, “O People! If you are not accepting the honor I have granted you, you will be thrown in those black holes and there will be no more chance for you return to existence and reach honor!” May Allah forgive us. O People! We are approaching the last days of Ramadan. Leave behind dunya, material aspects, and come to

reach heavenly aspects that you have been honored through him (s). O People! Keep your honor and ask for much more honor. May Allah forgive us. I am weak; all of us are weak, and our weakness is taking us to unknown worlds and dominions. If you bring a key, it is going to open for you unknown treasures and territories. If not, you are going to be zero, zero, zero, and may lose your chance to be in existence, and that will be a pity. May Allah forgive us for the honor of the Seal of Prophets (s), whom Allah Almighty created, from pre- Eternal to Eternal. Try to be Eternal ones; don't be cheated by Shaytan and your egos. May Allah forgive us. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee! Tawbah, yaa Rabbee! Tawbah, astaghfirullah. Forgive us, O our Lord!

Ad-deenu naseeha, "Islam is advice." Islam is teaching people good ways and calling them to a good future here and Hereafter. Also, Islam is warning, "O People! Around you are countless black tunnels." They may see black holes in space, but here in this world they are not talking of black holes, although we may say "black tunnels", nafaq.

We are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. We must always say, a`oodhu billahi min ash- Shaytani 'r-rajeem, because Shaytan and those shaytanic groups are carrying people to such terrible ends that they are never seen in existence again. It is a chance that has been granted once; keep it well. If you lose it, there is no second chance for people to come to this life. They will ask, "O Rabbee, send us once again and we will be Your obedient servants, keeping Your orders!" But no, the answer comes, "You will be there for Eternity!" Allah Almighty creates and what He created is coming into existence and then leaving. Some of them are running into shining tunnels, and they will not be advertisers at the entrance of shaytanic or dark tunnels. There will be very few people coming there, according to prophets' advice. If one thousand, one million, one billion, or one trillion people are entering it, the outlook is so dark. But prophets' advice is to accept heavenly orders and they are defending the prophets' invitation. It appears so difficult, so people are running to the tunnel with the shining entrance, but after passing through they reach a dark tunnel such that no one knows where it will end. But at that second tunnel no one is looking or interested, because it appears to be so difficult. Believers are running into it, passing through a passage, and then an opening to Eternity comes. And people in this life are going to be tested, but mostly people are not using their mentalities or good will, and they are following their egoistic pleasures and running in it and falling in endless dark tunnels.

are running in the streets, no! Try to follow heavenly ones' advice. Holy ones are those who belong to the Lord of Heavens' servanthood. Try also to be servants of the Lord of Creation. Servanthood is the highest rank Man may reach. Follow the way of prophets. Try to follow their followers also; you will always find them in every time. O Wahabi people and Salafi `ulamas!

(9:119) (Mawlana Shaykh sits) I am asking them to follow that heavenly advice, Koonu ma` as-saadiqeen. It is not only for the time of Sahaabah (r), it is for all Mankind! Follow true ones, because mostly people have been cheated by shaytanic agents and are thinking they are on the true way, but they are on the wrong way. Humanity can't be saved in this century if they do not ask for true ones to follow. If Mankind does not follow true ones, their final station is going to be those black tunnels. Don't be cheated by Shaytan and it's countless representatives. We are asking forgiveness from Allah Almighty!We are in the holy night of Sha`baan Mu`azzam and next week it will be Holy Ramadan. Try to take shaytanic dressing away from your body; try to dress in heavenly dress and put on the belt of service. Waiters and servants used this when they were in service. We must try to put servant's belts on for Allah! Leave that month for Allah Almighty's service. It is one month, and we gave our oath for our whole life! If we are not doing that, then we must try to keep that service for a limited number of days in Ramadan and He will accept it. But people are saying, "No we can't be saabireen, among the patient ones, that we are not eating or drinking in our houses!" And they are not trying to train their rides for heavenly service. That is from our egos' nafsuka matiyatuk. O Salafiyoon and Wahhabiyoon! How are you dealing with your ego, nafs? You must deal with your ego as a person deals with his donkey, carrying a stick in his hand, so if that animal deviates he will hit it, making it go straight again. And so many strikes are warning, "O People! Come and do your best service for your Lord!" But people do not understand, saying, "We are trying to give our best service to our rides." Therefore, the whole world is under a heavy and terrible burden; no one knows what is coming to all people, all nations, and all tyrants from Heavens. Allah Almighty is not sleeping, haasha! He is saying, "We are not leaving them as

they think, with no one controlling. They think they are uncontrolled creatures. Uncontrolled creatures are animals, but you are controlled! We are looking at what you are doing and intending.” And people are saying, "O Shaykh! We are in a very bad economical crisis." Ptuuh (spit) on you and your "economical crisis"! It is a crisis of servanthood, because they left it and therefore cursing is coming on them! There are countless kinds of cursing coming on people and only one of those is the economical crisis! It is not a money problem, it is something else. What they are eating is going to be like poison for them. Everything is poisoning them, because they are running away from their Creator and leaving their oaths! They are acting against their oaths and so many kinds of troubles are coming on them and poisoning them. Every forbidden work or action is a kind of curse, and cursing is the beginning or main reason not to be keeping their oath with their Lord. So many people's companies are now bankrupt, with no goodness, and they are running after Shaytan and then crying, "We are in such a bad condition!" You ran into it! When you forget your oath to Allah Almighty, punishment is coming. Everything is reaching those who are not keeping their promises, even that virus. O our Lord, yaa Rabbana! (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Yaa Sayyidi 'l-awwaleen wa ’l-akhireen. (Mawlana Shaykh sits) Ishfa` lana yamlikoon thumma zaahiroon.

CRITICISM OF THE TRUE ONES and the ENVY FOR ISLAM Everyday I ask my Lord to protect us from deviating from the Path of Truth, to keep us from tumbling into a deep abyss. We must constantly ask for such protection as we are living in a time which the Holy Prophet Muhammed (sal) has described: “…when good people will be thought of as bad people, and bad people as good: honest people as liars and liars as honest people; deceivers as trustworthy people and trustworthy people as deceivers.” These are the conditions prevalent in our time; every moral value is turned upside- down so that people can no longer distinguish between good and evil. We are asking our Lord Almighty to steady us on the Path of Truth and to help us adhere to it even if many people attack us and insist that we are misguided. And because we have been informed by the Holy Prophet Muhammed (sal) that true people will come under such heavy criticism in the last times we are heartened by such criticism and take it as verification of our being on a true way. Whoever is asking about us must be told that we are following a Sufi Way, the Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Tariqah. This information alone is enough to touch off a torrent of heavy criticism from many people, especially Muslims. Upon hearing the word “Tariqah” they will automatically object and deny the validity of the Sufi Way. They will rant and rave on about how misguided we are, without even having inquired about us personally or about our practices. The bad assumptions about anything called “Sufi” will lead them to slander people they know nothing about. Should they not be ashamed to judge people they have never met on the basis of bigoted opinions? Of course they should be ashamed, but they are not: that is a sure sign that we are on the right way, in

accordance with that saying of our Holy Prophet Muhammed (sal). The animosity that most Muslims show towards the followers of the Sufi Path is indeed a sign of the last times. Up until fifty years ago the Sufi Orders, and especially the Naqshbandiyya, were universally accepted by the scholars and Imams of most Muslim countries. No one of any rank or importance would show such antagonism towards Sufis: indeed, the Sufis were held in great esteem by religious scholars, many of whom submitted themselves to Sufi Sheikhs as their humble followers. Truth and purity were recognized as such, for those were times when some perspective still remained with people. But nowadays we can observe so many “religious scholars” sprouting up like mushrooms – without roots – who object to the Sufi Way. Yes, in our time the Holy Prophet Muhammed’s (sal) prophecy is being fulfilled, and the viewpoints of a formerly isolated and condemned sects are being universally propagated through the power of unearned money. Quickly the beliefs that Sunni Muslims have held for fourteen hundred years, which recognized the necessity of the inner work of the Sufis, have been replaced by a dry externalist doctrine. So many of today’s Muslims are embracing the beliefs and outlook of that externalist sect. Usually the ones who espouse those doctrines most ardently are people from a certain socio-economic class in the Muslim World. They are the rich, high-life people the highly “educated”, well-to-do, who have attained a luxurious standard of living. Why do such people deny Tariqas? As much as such people may try to reason out their opposition to the Sufi Way, the real reason for their opposition to Tariqas is that Tariqas stress the importance of preparation for eternal life, ranking it where it belongs – in first place; all concerns of this life are held secondary to that. The opponents of Sufism try to justify their extreme love of this world and its pleasures by twisting Islamic teaching and ignoring the thousands of Qur’anic Verses and Prophetic Traditions which warn them: “The worldly life is but a game for you to play

among yourselves, seeing who can accumulate more riches and offspring, taking pleasure in it like the farmer who sees his crops flourishing, then suffering disappointment when it all turns yellow and dries up”, and: “The love of the world is the origin of every sin”, and: “The world is a cadaver and those who seek to devour it are dogs.” It enrages those people when they hear that we are practicing “Dhikr Allah”, Remembrance of Allah, and repeating His Holy Name: “Allah, Allah, Allah…” They accuse us of making harmful innovations in the religion, when, in reality, there are over one-thousand Qur’anic Verses alone, not to mention Prophetic Traditions, in which our Lord Almighty orders us to “Remember Him”, “Glorify Him”, “Praise Him” and “Call upon Him”. He has ordered this that we may approach His Divine Presence, as every repetition of our Lord’s Name increases the love of Him in our hearts. But the people who object to Tariqahs are in love with this life only, and demand that it be praised at least as much as Allah is praised. In reality they worship this world’s pleasures as a partner to Allah, and no such association is ever acceptable to Him Almighty, as He has said: “We have not created two hearts in the breast of men.” But in our Way we are taught to recognize that our love for this world is preventing us from attaining the true reality of worship, is keeping us from true monotheism, and therefore we are trying to downgrade worldliness from its present supreme position and are seeking to enthrone the love of God in our hearts. We love our Lord, and we are asking Him to love us. Therefore, we try to occupy our whole hearts with the love of our Lord and are going to do our best to encourage others to occupy their hearts with that Divine Love as well. This we seek to accomplish through Dhikr, the remembrance of our Lord, despite the insistent efforts of Satan and his armies to dissuade us from following this way by making us drunk with this life’s pleasures. There is further proof that we are on a right way, apart from the criticism by Muslims of
http://www.sufismus-online.de/CriticismOfTheTrueOnes (3 von 5)04.07.2013 23:13:24
2056 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: CriticismOfTheTrueOnes
other Muslims who follow Tariqahs. Nowadays more and more non Muslims are leveling criticism at Islam, and unbelievers are more and more vocally criticizing religion in general. Even to believe in God in our time means exposing oneself to ridicule; unbelief has become the dominant fashion, and, in large portions of the world, state policy. Islam in particular is a target for such people: even people who call themselves Christians and Jews and profess belief in God are attacking Islam. Usually they center their attacks on “Islam’s stringent moral code”, although the original and authentic moral codes of their religions were once very similar to ours. But in our time the moral authority once exercised by those religions over their adherents has been eroded to such an extent that nothing remains of most people’s Christianity or Judaism except, perhaps, to say: “I am Christian” or “I am Jewish.” Therefore, some adherents of those religions envy Islam for having preserved such pervasive influence over all aspects of people’s lives in the Islamic World. They envy Islam for its success in bringing spiritual dimensions into the everyday life and actions of the Muslim. The result of this envy is that they loudly criticize Islam for “not allowing enough personal freedom” and “being too severe.” They would, of course, like to see Muslims leave their religion altogether, but short of attaining that ultimate goal they would be satisfied to see Islam relegated to being a marginal force in the lives of Muslims just as Christianity has become in the lives of Christians; yes, they would have us suffer that same miserable fate. The main reason for which all of these groups (materialistic Muslims, “reformed Christians and Jews”, as well as the outright unbelievers) criticize our Way is that we are seeking to purify ourselves by controlling our ego’s whims; that we are brave enough to stand up against the lower self and its desires. We recognize that the only way to approach God is to strengthen our souls sufficiently that they may gain control over our egos. By this the egos of those people feel threatened, as “the truth hurts.”

The Crossroads Between Two Ways
We are reaching the end of this life, not our lives, but the period of our world is going to end. And now people have mostly changed; before they gave high respect to Allah Almighty, but now they run after Shaytan. O My Followers! I am asking from you to keep the Right Way, not the wrong way. There are only two ways: the Right Way, which takes you to the Divinely Presence in Paradise, leading you to endless, Eternal Life, and the wrong way! I fear to step on the wrong way. Who steps on the wrong way are followers of Shaytan, who will be in hells along with his followers for Eternity! There is an Eternity for good ones and another for bad ones. Try to make your names written on the tablet of believers and good ones, and beware that your names are not written on the tablets of Shaytan and his followers. Keep yourself! Try to keep holy orders of Allah Almighty or you will regret it! May Allah Almighty make you on the Right Way and thankful to Him. Don't follow the ways of Shaytan! Thank you. (Bay`a) O our Lord! Keep Your weak servants on the Right Way, which is Your biggest grant for weak servants, and we are trying to be even very weak servants for You, O our Lord! We never like to be shaytans, enemy of

Keep the Right Way you believe in, and if anyone says you are on wrong way, tell him, “We are on the way of the Seal of Prophets (s)!" May Allah Almighty forgive us for the honor of the Seal of Prophets (s) (Moawlana stands and sits) May Allah keep you and protect you! (...) Yaa Qareeban ghayra ba`eed. Yaa Ghaaliban ghayra maghloob!

As-salaamu `alaykum (Mawlana Shaykh Nazim stands.) Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, laa ilaaha illa-Llah. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahi 'l-hamd! As-salaatu wa ’s-salaam `alaa Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa ’l- akhireen, Sayyidina Muhammadin wa `alaa aalihi wa sahbihi ajma`een wa `alaa sa’ir al-anbiyaa wa ’l- mursaleen wa man tabi`ahum bi ihsaan ila Yawm ad-Deen. (Mawlana Shaykh Nazim sits.) Madad, yaa Sultan al-Anbiya! O People! As-salaamu `alaykum! Greetings to the believers from heavenly peoplem for the honor of the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh Nazim stands and sits.) Allah Almighty is greeting him (s) and his nation, particularly in this holy month of Ramadan. Heavenly ones are also greeting the nation of the Seal of Prophets (s), and if they hadn’t accepted Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa ’l-akhireen as the Seal of Prophets, Allah Almighty would have never granted them to be prophets in the first place. Every honored one in Creation is taking honor solely for the honor of Prophet (s). Those who have been honored by their Lord, including prophets, could not have attained those stations if not for the honor of Prophet (s). All of Creation, including Mankind, jinn and angels, are asking to be granted honor for the sake of that honored one (s). Allah (swt) gives honor to those who honor His Prophet (s), so we must be happy that Allah Almighty has granted us to be from his nation. May Allah grant us to follow on the same steps, to honor that one (s)

who has been granted honor from pre-Eternal up to Eternity. O People! O Mankind! You must try to learn something for your life. Why are we in Creation, in existence? The Lord of Heavens never creates something without a reason; anything that is granted must be for a reason. The Children of Adam were not created except that the Lord Almighty first created His most beloved one (s) and appointed him as muwassil, His representative and intermediary. When the Lord of Heavens created the Seal of Prophets (s) it was for a reason, and he was first created in the Divine Presence. Allah Almighty does not even create an atom without a reason, which is to give honor for His most beloved servant and honored representative (s). The Seal of Prophets (s) was created to be the representative of The One Who created him and His Creation. No one knows when Creation came into existence. His representative has been dressed with such honor for Eternity with what no one else was granted before. For the Prophet’s honor, the Lord of Heavens is giving honor to Mankind. Therefore, Mankind was created for his honor! All honor has been granted to the Seal of Prophets (s) the Lord's representative, or the “crown prince,” if we may say that. Every king has a crown prince and Sayyidina Muhammad (s) is that one, as there can only be one crown prince! A king may have twenty princes, but the honor of being a crown prince is only for one, not others. The Lord of Heavens! The Lord of Everything! No one knows Allah Almighty's position, as it is impossible to know. Allah Almighty was asking to be known, so He created the Seal of Prophets (s) and his nation, and no doubt all nations belong to him! So we have been honored to be the Lord's “representatives,” who are in need to know their crown prince. People know Allah Almighty is Malik ul-Mulook, the King of Kings, but no one knows the beginning or the ending of His Kingdom. He asked to be known, so He brought the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s) in Creation. (Mawlana Shaykh Nazim stands and sits.) He created everything, and He wanted to be known and seen, so He made the Seal of Prophets (s). He brought him from His Divine Presence as a sign that he should be on behalf of his Creator for all Creation when they asked, "Where is our Lord?" It is impossible to see Allah Almighty, as He is Malik ul-Mulook, Sultan of Sultans! However, He has a crown prince, who must have his Lord's attributes or otherwise He cannot be known. So from pre-Eternity to Eternity, Allah Almighty granted the Seal of Prophets (s) to be for all creatures who were asking about their
http://www.sufismus-online.de/CrownPrinceOfCreation (2 von 4)04.07.2013 23:13:25
2062 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: CrownPrinceOfCreation
Lord’s Existence. Regarding everything in Creation, people may ask, "To Whom does this existence belong?" and they may reach through that one whom the Lord of Heavens made Crown Prince (s) for all Creation! Allah Almighty is not in need of a crown prince, but creatures are in need, as they cannot reach the real existence of their Lord. Therefore, He brought one from His unknown Majestic Oceans to be His Crown Prince. This is a subject no one can enter into, finished! We have been honored to be from his nation and to know something, and that knowledge is giving people honor, as without knowledge there is no honor! He Almighty is asking to give honor for His Creation, ma`arifatullah, to know about their Lord. Therefore, Allah Almighty sent 124,000 prophets representing the Seal of Prophets (s), the Crown Prince, throughout their nations. The more you know, the more you will reach glory and majesty from heavenly ones! O People! We think we have been created by chance, but no! Everyone was created in a particular form and understanding. Man is the most important creature among all Creation, from pre-Eternity to Eternity. Try to learn this, that all prophets came to open a door for their nations to be honored with such heavenly honors! But people have no minds; they never use their understanding to know something about this life. I am sorry to say that peoples’ understanding is only to kill each other and to sit on a seat that has no value. That is their main purpose or target, to sit on a chair that has no value, and they are leaving behind the real treasures, running to be donkeys for their egos or for Shaytan, and running after their donkeys' desires. This is the reason why people in our days are preparing themselves to kill and destroy; that is their target. Now everyone is putting the power of technology in their hands, using nuclear missiles and atomic bombs as they like, but this is not the real identity for Mankind! People have now reached a level under that of animals, who are not trying to make such terrible weapons against each other. Through technology, Mankind is trying to reach a position in order to kill everyone and therefore, their levels are coming down, down, down. Mankind is approaching darkness and positions of the dark world, and the Lord of Heavens is showing them black holes, saying, “O People! If you are not accepting the honor I have granted you, you will be thrown in those black holes and there will be no more chance for you return to existence and reach honor!” May Allah forgive us. O People! We are approaching the last days of Ramadan. Leave behind dunya, material aspects, and come to

reach heavenly aspects that you have been honored through him (s). O People! Keep your honor and ask for much more honor. May Allah forgive us. I am weak; all of us are weak, and our weakness is taking us to unknown worlds and dominions. If you bring a key, it is going to open for you unknown treasures and territories. If not, you are going to be zero, zero, zero, and may lose your chance to be in existence, and that will be a pity. May Allah forgive us for the honor of the Seal of Prophets (s), whom Allah Almighty created, from pre- Eternal to Eternal. Try to be Eternal ones; don't be cheated by Shaytan and your egos. May Allah forgive us. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee! Tawbah, yaa Rabbee! Tawbah, astaghfirullah. Forgive us, O our Lord!
