planation. Leave that to us. Say to me, are the angels eating and drinking? Christian brothers are knowing that angels not eating or drinking. And Jesus Christ and his mother, you are saying, “He is God or son of God.” If angels have no need to eat, how are you saying, ‘Eating and drinking?’ Jesus Christ was eating and drinking with his disciples. How can he be eating and drinking and be Lord of Heavens? And angels’ lives going on as we understand, if eating and drinking, where they are running to find WC? WC on the heads of those people who are denying the existence of the Lord of Heavens! No one is knowing about Him Almighty, only He (swt)! And He was saying, “I was a hidden treasure, I created Man to know something about My existence and its way is passing through My most glorified and most honored and praised servant, Sayyidina Muhammad (s).” (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) O Allah, they are knowing nothing!! Anyone can refuse this? Can’t be. If any one is refusing, they may write and defend on behalf of Jesus Christ. Come to me if any one can refuse. May write to me a defense that Jesus Christ was eating and drinking with his disciples and not going to WC? How you are making him God? Do you think that God’s divine attribute gives Him to eat and drink? What then, should be whole Creation? Creation must be what is through WC, they must be drowned in it! O People, use your minds! We are approaching to Last Day. The Day of Resurrection is coming and don’t think that Allah Almighty calling you to discuss with you, No, because to be in Divine Presence is giving to one such an endless honor. But those people who are denying the existence of the Lord of Heavens are in such a bad position, as a person falling through a sewage channel. Do you think that that person can be taken in front of a king or sultan, to speak with him or ask him something? No, never. Don’t think that. Calling unbelievers to be in His Divinely Presence for such a speaking, no. In that honor we may say one story. It is traditional knowledge about Sultan al-`Arifeen, Abayazid al-Bistami (q), saying, “O `ulama, O Muslims. Everyone is fearing to be questioned on the Day of Resurrection, but I am so eager for being in Divinely Presence, and He (swt) says only, ‘O Abayazid, come for your questioning.’ I am eager to hear from the beginning of my creation up to that day, this holy addressing, “Ya Abayazid,’ only to speak my name.” Shiddatu ‘l-farah, making for last point, enjoyment. “It was enough that my Lord says my name, ‘Ya Aba Yazid,’ even if He is sending me to Fire, I am never feeling anything!

honor that dressed me is enough to extinguish the Fire!” O People, so many things. Don’t think that I know something; I know nothing. But sometimes they are making a weak servant to address, like an ant by Allah’s ordering, addressing whole ants and saying: yaa ayyuhal namlu ‘dkhuloo masaakinakum la-yahtimannakum sulaymaanu wa junooduhoo wa hum laa yash`uroon. One of the ants said, “O ants! Get into your habitations lest Soloman and his hosts crush you without knowing it.” ( 27:18) That ant was hearing the holy command and became powerful and his sound was reaching through a huge valley where billions, trillions and quadrillion ants hearing it. Allah Almighty is Qaadirun Mutlaq; He can do everything or anything as He likes. O People! Try to learn about your Lord and give His highest glorifying. Allah forgives us for the honor and praising of His most beloved and praised one, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) Dome Dome Dome Dome 4x Haqq! Forgive us, O our Lord. Fatihah.

If He wanted to make every person the same, He could. Like in a factory: all the same form, colour and size, and everyone speaking the same language. But Allah the Almighty didn't. You cannot find two identical people. Everyone is unique in their creation. Allah does not need to make copies of people. Everyone is different, but all belong to the same mankind. Everything is created in a different way. Even a grain of corn is not identical to another, or a grain of wheat. You must try to get to know His greatness and power! Everything which is part of Him is without limit. His existence is unlimited from pre-eternity until eternity. He is the First and He is the Last. Do you think He was starting to feel old and therefore needed a son? He exists from pre-eternity to eternity. That does not mean that He was young during pre-eternity and then became old during eternity so that He felt a need to create a crown prince as a successor! It is impossible. The people of the 20th century are not using their mentality and their mind, so they attack Islam. Even though Islam brought the perfect description of the Lord, Almighty Allah. I am angry. Why? Last week I was in the cathedral built in the grand mosque of Cordoba. It is full of imagination. They picture an old man sitting. To his right hand there is a young person, at the other a lady. That is a creation of their imagination. They want us to believe that the old one is the Lord, who has taken the young one from earth to sit next to

him. I feel so ashamed. The Christians are to blame for this. They have created it and they believe in it. We are living in the 20th century. Within this huge universe we are like an atom. When we look amongst ourselves we see different kinds of people, of all sizes but never bigger than 3 meters. Do you think that even a huge person like that would be able to create such a huge universe, and then be able to die? How could Christianity develop in this way? Are these the teachings of Jesus Christ*? All prophets, including Jesus Christ*, brought real descriptions of the Creator. But there are people who have changed the originality of Christianity. They exchanged every truth with plastic. This is why Christianity does not give satisfaction to the souls of people. It is impossible when you eat plastic food to be full. That is the real problem in this world at the moment. People are spiritually hungry, they want to be content and satisfied, but they cannot find it. If anyone asks for real food while they are being offered all this plastic, the sellers become very angry and will tell them, "Islam is not good!" Have these people really tasted Islam before giving such a judgement? How can you judge something without knowing it or having tasted it? That is being prejudiced, which is a sin. It is a great lie to accuse someone of something without having proof. We look at the Old Testament and the New Testament, we are not afraid of doing that, but Christians are not allowed to read the Holy Quran in their churches. Why are they prevented from doing that? Read and comment! If you haven't read it, don't say anything. If you read and you don't understand, then ask those who do. A new millennium is approaching and still Christians believe that the 21st century will be Christian. They say that Islam is out of time and not suitable for this age. They should prove that Christianity is suitable! Mankind has lost every value of being human. It has no value anymore, and Christians and Jews are inventing such terrible weapons which will destroy everything civilisation has built in thousands of years. Islam comes for peace, but the learned people within Christianity know very well that Islam is the last message which has come from Heavens to guide all nations. 01.01.1997

EDUCATION
For schools, for students also, Islam first offered to teach students a strong belief to make them believe in their Lord, their Creator, Almighty Allah. After that, to teach them any craft that they may need to help them to establish their life. Man is in need of training. Without training, mankind would be wild, more wild than any other wild creature and man needs education - training is education. Therefore, we must educate mankind. Education must be based on something, some foundation, so that it may be built upon. Without a strong foundation, a strong building cannot be constructed. Therefore, education must be established on a strong foundation if it is to be successful. From the beginning until today, systematical education in Christian countries was established on Christianity and in Oriental countries, on Islam and every other community established their systems of education based on their beliefs. If education were not based on beliefs, in the present day, it would mostly be based on atheism. No care is taken of religion and of religion's rules; only atheist philosophy is used for education. That is the main aim of education these days. No one pays attention to the life of the Hereafter because religious beliefs are not the first thing to be taught to students.
http://www.sufismus-online.de/Education (1 von 3)04.07.2013 23:15:36
2625 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: Education
Therefore, these days, there is a large chasm between the young generation and the old generation because the young generation are educated with 'free' ideas, without any idea of beliefs. They are educated without any religious beliefs or rules. When they are educated without religious beliefs or rules they grow up not realising that they should be responsible for their lives. People who have been educated without religion do not recognise their responsibility. Only those whose education is based on religious rules and beliefs recognise their responsibilities and those of others. If not, they cannot be forced to carry responsibility because they may ask, "Why should I carry that responsibility?" If you answer, "For the last day" they will laugh at you. They will ask, "What is the last day? What is the second life? What is the Hereafter life? What is Paradise? What is Hell?" They will ask this because their education was not built on belief or on religious knowledge. The most dangerous and terrible generation is the one which does not take any care of its responsibilities in this life and no one can take care of responsibility if they do not hold religious beliefs. You cannot expect good manners from the new generation, who were not educated religiously. You cannot expect to find good characteristics like honour for himself and the community; they cannot be forced to carry any responsibility. They may say, "I am only going to live a short while in this life" and their philosophy is that they were born into this life accidentally or coincidentally because this is what atheist philosophy teaches them - brain washing them. So they believe their existence in this life came about by accident and that that they must enjoy themselves by any possible means. That is their philosophy of life. Therefore, you cannot say "Take this, keep it please", they will say, "Why? You keep it. I don't need to do that. I am only looking after myself." The new generation is growing up to be egoistic, envious, full of enmity, without expecting to be responsible for anyone. Not for their parents, their families, for their children, their neighbours, their nations or for humanity. They shave the sides of their heads and grow their hair like "Mohicans" and colour it, blue, red and green. What do you expect from this kind of person? How can you tell this kind of person what to do? He will kick you! The responsibility for the religious education of children lies with the government. Why are they in power? To enjoy holding the positions of Prime Minister or Minister? Why are they in power if not to look after their people? Are they not Christians? Are they not believers? If they are not believers, they should not be in power. If they are Christians, believers, they should look after the growing generation. It is the government's

responsibility to prevent everything that is against belief. The majority of people believe in the Creator and the last day but some groups fight the Church, fight every religion. It is important, particularly in European countries, we must have help from Muslim ladies, teachers from Muslim women and girls, teaching our students, even to teach every student about Islam. But people are not very interested in becoming a teacher. Nowadays, people are asking to have more income, perhaps teaching not bringing too much money, therefore people are not interested and that is the weakness of faith. Faith ordering sacrifice. Muslims must think sacrifice for teaching, even monthly salaries may be less than others, but for the sake of Allah teaching students good manners, faith, good beliefs, preparing them for humanity, to gain them for humanity, to save them from the hands of devils - it is a very sacred job, lovely job, for the Lord Almighty Allah, for His prophets (peace be upon them). To be a doctor as well, lady doctors. Muslims are not sending their daughters to higher schools for they are mixed and sometimes they do not like some jobs. As much as possible, if they have more teachers and more doctors to help Muslim ladies and children, it should be lovely to Allah Almighty and to His Prophet (peace be upon him).

Audhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, la haula wa la quwatta illa bi-llahi-l ‘Aliyu-l ‘Azim… Meded ya Sultanu-l Awliya, Meded ya Rijalallah…(We are) asking forgiveness from Allah Almighty… It is an association. Always our ego is asking from everything a share for himself. He is saying that: “I must have some share from every activity that you are doing. I like you to be for me only. Everything that you are doing must be for me. I don’t like (any) partner!” Everyone’s ego (is) saying this and therefore it is (the) most difficult struggle or fighting to make our egos to surrender. And when you are going to be a real Muslim? When you are going to be able to make your ego aside and to do everything (only) for your Lord, for your Creator! Why our ego is asking to be everything for him? Our ego, which thing (it is) giving (to) ourselves and asking (you) to work for him? Why? The ego created us? No. He is our provider? You think our ego is providing for us? (So) why (our ego is always) asking (a share)? Allah Almighty (is) asking from you, oh mankind, to be only for His divinely Service! He has 1oo% Rights to ask this, yes, (because) He is our Creator and His Favours (are) covering ourselves. He has Rights to ask thanks and praising and glorifying from you, because He has Rights on you! You were nothing and (He is)

bringing you to be something; He created you, bringing you in existence and honouring you to be from mankind, not making you from animals! And He has Rights (on you), 1oo%, to surrender to Him and to glorify Him and to praise Him Almighty. He has Rights, but what about our ego? Why (it is) asking (a share)? Our ego is (only) running from one dirty place to another dirty place. It likes to be always through (the) channels of sewage, asking to be there and (it is) asking from you: “You just follow me, you must make for me more and more channels of sewage. You must try to make through your home more than (only) 1, (but) 2, 3, 4 channels of sewage, because I am making my morning pleasure in one sewage and lunchtime I am running to another channel of sewage, (then), (in the) afternoon- as English people have tea-time- tea-time you must prepare for me another channel of sewage, (so that) I may enjoy…(swimming in it:) lab, lub… I am practising myself… and Maghreb, sunset time, (there is) another channel of sewage… .” (Your ego is) making you to prepare (this), oh man, your ego (is) asking to make you (a slave) for its pleasure through (the) dirty channels of sewage and (it is) saying: “I am not leaving you to look (after) anything else. You must prepare always for me new channels of sewage!” That is wholly (our) ego’s main target and pleasure; (it is) making you to be his servant through sewage channels, to keep (the) towel (for it), to follow his orders, to prepare everything through channels for it. Therefore (it is) saying: “I am not leaving you to do anything else except (to work) for me”, and foolish people (are) running to that sewage channels to prepare for their egos breakfast, lunch, tea-time (in the) afternoon, dinner and supper nighttime also… And you are a perfect creation- Allah Almighty created you on a perfection (which is) not granted to any other creature. Your Lord, who created you on a perfect form (in your) outlooking and (in your) inner life, He is asking (from) you: “Come and fulfil your oath with Me (from the Day of Promises) that you should be only for My Divinely Service”, (but our) ego (is) saying: “No, I am not giving a chance to you, except (to be) for me!” Look now through whole mankind- what they are doing? They are running after sewage channels, they (are) never thinking for their Lord’s divinely Service. He Almighty is calling (them saying): “You are My servants, because I granted to you everything, every goodness here and Hereafter- come and fulfil your oath with Me!”, (but our) nafs, (the) ego (is) saying: “No, I am never giving a chance to you (to do that). Even (there are) 24 hours, (but) I am not happy to give you (free for even) 24 minutes!” “What about 1o minutes?” “1o minutes

also I am never giving to you (to be) free for anyone else!” What (a) bad position or situation for mankind without thinking on that point! 24 hours (you are) running to prepare new sewage channels and leaving our Lord who created us to be in existence and giving us (the) crown of being (the) most honoured creatures and also putting on our shoulders (a) most glorified dress from His divinely Presence. You are leaving that and you run to fulfil Shaitan’s, nafs, our egos’ desires that are all dirty desires. How we can find a way to be clean? All Prophets are coming to show the ways of cleanliness from our egoistic desires that are all dirty things, and (they were) coming to teach us how our relationship with our Lord should be, how we can find a way to His divinely Presence. They were coming to teach that. Therefore it is not true even one moment to make (the) ego the partner for our Lords Divinely Service! (The) ego, nafs, can’t enter to Divinely Presence, because it is dirty. What is the dirtiness of egos? Allah Almighty (is) saying: “Everyone who (is) leaving Me and leaving to be My servants, they are dirty ones!” Even (if) you are giving (only) one moment for your ego, (this is) making you to fall into dirtiness and therefore we are ordered to clean ourselves by saying: “La ilaha ill-Allah, Sayyidina Muhammadun Rasulullah sws.” This holy Word brings cleanliness for man, to be able to be Allah Almighty’s servants, to be in their Lord’s praising area and (to do) glorifying. But (our) nafs, (our) ego (is) saying: “You must work for me. Everything you must do for me, not (for) anyone else!” All Prophets (were) coming to teach people (their) real situation, so that they may prefer and choose the right path, (the) honoured path and (to reach to be an) honoured creation, (in an) honoured situation, (with an) honoured dressing in (the) divinely Presence. As long as they are running away, they are (remaining) dirty ones. Man (is) coming clean from his mother’s womb, but after their maturity age they are becoming to be dirty ones for (the reason of) their dirty desires that belong to our egos. Our egos (are) asking to enter through dirty channels, through sewage channels, and (especially the) new generation (is) thinking that to run through dirty channels of sewage is their target, and they are running on it, thinking nothing beyond that (aim) and their pleasure and pleasement is always to be through (these dirty) channels. Prophets (are) coming and (also) Awliya, Saints, to take them out (of these dirty channels) and to clean them, (and)

cleanliness (comes) with Divinely Service. Everything that you are doing, through your intention (it) may be for Allah, only for Allah, or (it may) be only for (your) ego, or (it may) be for Allah and (also) for (your) ego- but (those) who (are) working only for Allah- they are (the) most near and most honoured ones in divinely Presence- they are Prophets and their inheritors. Then people, according to their efforts, (they are) coming slowly to be in a good position; slowly they are cleaning themselves to be ready for entering divinely Service. (But) some of them (are) never taking any care (to clean themselves) and (they are) happy to be through sewage channels… Therefore we are asking forgiveness! You are praying- we are translating (now) from our headquarters, (saying) that: even you can pray, (but) your ego (is) asking a share for itself, (so that) if your are praying, (it is) saying that: “I am so important one for praying, no one can be like me.” And really (our ego is) asking to be said for him that: “You are someone that you are going to be glorified”- asking glorification for itself, ego, never asking glorifying for its Creator, for Allah Almighty. (The ego is) never declaring that every glorifying and praising and thanks (is due) only for Him Almighty, (but it is always) asking a share from that (glorifying) to say (about itself): “I am this one… (I am) that one… I am someone that no one can reach to my level for praying… No one can be like me an Imam… No one can be a perfect one for advising people… I am such a one!” And through that way (the ego is) asking through glorifying to be for him a share. It makes him happy to look to himself and to say (that): “I am someone! No one can reach to me as I am praying, as I am making Dhikr, as I am knowing, as I am doing…” This (ego is) taking everything (and using it) to be for himself. That is Kufr, that is partnership that Allah Almighty never likes! Therefore He is ordering to His servants, whom they are asking to come to His divinely Presence, to say: “La ilaha ill-Allah”, and your ego (is) saying, “No, you must not say this! You must say: La ilaha illa ana (Arabic, meaning: me), illa ana, illa ana…”. Instead to say: “La ilaha ill-Allah, ill-Allah, ill-Allah…”, asking to say: “La ilaha illa ana, illa ana, illa ana”, asking a share from everything, from every movement (it is) asking to take a share. When you are giving a share to it, (you are) making that one a partner for your Lord Allah Almighty, because every glory and praising, ever- ending glorifying, praising and thanks (is) only for Him, Allah Almighty!

Some people they are accepting their servanthood, but most people they are not thinking on it. They are thinking that they are something. The Lord of Servanthood going to be a heaviness on their shoulders and it is opposite to be our Lord's servants. (There is) no any other high honor or glory for Mankind. But people now they are drunk. When a person going to be drunk, that level going to be under the level of animals. Animals are knowing they have been created for Mankind by the Lord of Heavens-- they know it! But mostly now on Earth they are never thinking, or they are thinking but not accepting to be servants of the Lord of Heavens.

Whoever is accepting they have been given honor, and whom they are not accepting, no honor for them; they are losing servanthood. Over everything, Lordship is only for Allah, for the Creator. Everything that is in existence, He is creating and giving them some work or something to do. Nothing is created without a meaning, without a responsibility, or without a wisdom. Nothing created. Every creature they are knowing this, only Man that they are drunk now, they are so proud and not accepting. Accepting or not, if they are accepting they are reaching an honor, if not accepting they are losing their honors and no value for them in the Divinely Presence.

If He wanted to make every person the same, He could. Like in a factory: all the same form, colour and size, and everyone speaking the same language. But Allah the Almighty didn't. You cannot find two identical people. Everyone is unique in their creation. Allah does not need to make copies of people. Everyone is different, but all belong to the same mankind. Everything is created in a different way. Even a grain of corn is not identical to another, or a grain of wheat. You must try to get to know His greatness and power! Everything which is part of Him is without limit. His existence is unlimited from pre-eternity until eternity. He is the First and He is the Last. Do you think He was starting to feel old and therefore needed a son? He exists from pre-eternity to eternity. That does not mean that He was young during pre-eternity and then became old during eternity so that He felt a need to create a crown prince as a successor! It is impossible. The people of the 20th century are not using their mentality and their mind, so they attack Islam. Even though Islam brought the perfect description of the Lord, Almighty Allah. I am angry. Why? Last week I was in the cathedral built in the grand mosque of Cordoba. It is full of imagination. They picture an old man sitting. To his right hand there is a young person, at the other a lady. That is a creation of their imagination. They want us to believe that the old one is the Lord, who has taken the young one from earth to sit next to

him. I feel so ashamed. The Christians are to blame for this. They have created it and they believe in it. We are living in the 20th century. Within this huge universe we are like an atom. When we look amongst ourselves we see different kinds of people, of all sizes but never bigger than 3 meters. Do you think that even a huge person like that would be able to create such a huge universe, and then be able to die? How could Christianity develop in this way? Are these the teachings of Jesus Christ*? All prophets, including Jesus Christ*, brought real descriptions of the Creator. But there are people who have changed the originality of Christianity. They exchanged every truth with plastic. This is why Christianity does not give satisfaction to the souls of people. It is impossible when you eat plastic food to be full. That is the real problem in this world at the moment. People are spiritually hungry, they want to be content and satisfied, but they cannot find it. If anyone asks for real food while they are being offered all this plastic, the sellers become very angry and will tell them, "Islam is not good!" Have these people really tasted Islam before giving such a judgement? How can you judge something without knowing it or having tasted it? That is being prejudiced, which is a sin. It is a great lie to accuse someone of something without having proof. We look at the Old Testament and the New Testament, we are not afraid of doing that, but Christians are not allowed to read the Holy Quran in their churches. Why are they prevented from doing that? Read and comment! If you haven't read it, don't say anything. If you read and you don't understand, then ask those who do. A new millennium is approaching and still Christians believe that the 21st century will be Christian. They say that Islam is out of time and not suitable for this age. They should prove that Christianity is suitable! Mankind has lost every value of being human. It has no value anymore, and Christians and Jews are inventing such terrible weapons which will destroy everything civilisation has built in thousands of years. Islam comes for peace, but the learned people within Christianity know very well that Islam is the last message which has come from Heavens to guide all nations. 01.01.1997

EDUCATION
For schools, for students also, Islam first offered to teach students a strong belief to make them believe in their Lord, their Creator, Almighty Allah. After that, to teach them any craft that they may need to help them to establish their life. Man is in need of training. Without training, mankind would be wild, more wild than any other wild creature and man needs education - training is education. Therefore, we must educate mankind. Education must be based on something, some foundation, so that it may be built upon. Without a strong foundation, a strong building cannot be constructed. Therefore, education must be established on a strong foundation if it is to be successful. From the beginning until today, systematical education in Christian countries was established on Christianity and in Oriental countries, on Islam and every other community established their systems of education based on their beliefs. If education were not based on beliefs, in the present day, it would mostly be based on atheism. No care is taken of religion and of religion's rules; only atheist philosophy is used for education. That is the main aim of education these days. No one pays attention to the life of the Hereafter because religious beliefs are not the first thing to be taught to students.

2625 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: Education
Therefore, these days, there is a large chasm between the young generation and the old generation because the young generation are educated with 'free' ideas, without any idea of beliefs. They are educated without any religious beliefs or rules. When they are educated without religious beliefs or rules they grow up not realising that they should be responsible for their lives. People who have been educated without religion do not recognise their responsibility. Only those whose education is based on religious rules and beliefs recognise their responsibilities and those of others. If not, they cannot be forced to carry responsibility because they may ask, "Why should I carry that responsibility?" If you answer, "For the last day" they will laugh at you. They will ask, "What is the last day? What is the second life? What is the Hereafter life? What is Paradise? What is Hell?" They will ask this because their education was not built on belief or on religious knowledge. The most dangerous and terrible generation is the one which does not take any care of its responsibilities in this life and no one can take care of responsibility if they do not hold religious beliefs. You cannot expect good manners from the new generation, who were not educated religiously. You cannot expect to find good characteristics like honour for himself and the community; they cannot be forced to carry any responsibility. They may say, "I am only going to live a short while in this life" and their philosophy is that they were born into this life accidentally or coincidentally because this is what atheist philosophy teaches them - brain washing them. So they believe their existence in this life came about by accident and that that they must enjoy themselves by any possible means. That is their philosophy of life. Therefore, you cannot say "Take this, keep it please", they will say, "Why? You keep it. I don't need to do that. I am only looking after myself." The new generation is growing up to be egoistic, envious, full of enmity, without expecting to be responsible for anyone. Not for their parents, their families, for their children, their neighbours, their nations or for humanity. They shave the sides of their heads and grow their hair like "Mohicans" and colour it, blue, red and green. What do you expect from this kind of person? How can you tell this kind of person what to do? He will kick you! The responsibility for the religious education of children lies with the government. Why are they in power? To enjoy holding the positions of Prime Minister or Minister? Why are they in power if not to look after their people? Are they not Christians? Are they not believers? If they are not believers, they should not be in power. If they are Christians, believers, they should look after the growing generation. It is the government's

responsibility to prevent everything that is against belief. The majority of people believe in the Creator and the last day but some groups fight the Church, fight every religion. It is important, particularly in European countries, we must have help from Muslim ladies, teachers from Muslim women and girls, teaching our students, even to teach every student about Islam. But people are not very interested in becoming a teacher. Nowadays, people are asking to have more income, perhaps teaching not bringing too much money, therefore people are not interested and that is the weakness of faith. Faith ordering sacrifice. Muslims must think sacrifice for teaching, even monthly salaries may be less than others, but for the sake of Allah teaching students good manners, faith, good beliefs, preparing them for humanity, to gain them for humanity, to save them from the hands of devils - it is a very sacred job, lovely job, for the Lord Almighty Allah, for His prophets (peace be upon them). To be a doctor as well, lady doctors. Muslims are not sending their daughters to higher schools for they are mixed and sometimes they do not like some jobs. As much as possible, if they have more teachers and more doctors to help Muslim ladies and children, it should be lovely to Allah Almighty and to His Prophet (peace be upon him).

The ego is asking from everything a share for himself

Always our ego is asking from everything a share for himself. He is saying that: “I must have some share from every activity that you are doing. I like you to be for me only. Everything that you are doing must be for me. I don’t like (any) partner!” Everyone’s ego (is) saying this and therefore it is (the) most difficult struggle or fighting to make our egos to surrender. And when you are going to be a real Muslim? When you are going to be able to make your ego aside and to do everything (only) for your Lord, for your Creator! Why our ego is asking to be everything for him? Our ego, which thing (it is) giving (to) ourselves and asking (you) to work for him? Why? The ego created us? No. He is our provider? You think our ego is providing for us? (So) why (our ego is always) asking (a share)? Allah Almighty (is) asking from you, oh mankind, to be only for His divinely Service! He has 1oo% Rights to ask this, yes, (because) He is our Creator and His Favours (are) covering ourselves. He has Rights to ask thanks and praising and glorifying from you, because He has Rights on you! You were nothing and (He is)

bringing you to be something; He created you, bringing you in existence and honouring you to be from mankind, not making you from animals! And He has Rights (on you), 1oo%, to surrender to Him and to glorify Him and to praise Him Almighty. He has Rights, but what about our ego? Why (it is) asking (a share)? Our ego is (only) running from one dirty place to another dirty place. It likes to be always through (the) channels of sewage, asking to be there and (it is) asking from you: “You just follow me, you must make for me more and more channels of sewage. You must try to make through your home more than (only) 1, (but) 2, 3, 4 channels of sewage, because I am making my morning pleasure in one sewage and lunchtime I am running to another channel of sewage, (then), (in the) afternoon- as English people have tea-time- tea-time you must prepare for me another channel of sewage, (so that) I may enjoy…(swimming in it:) lab, lub… I am practising myself… and Maghreb, sunset time, (there is) another channel of sewage… .” (Your ego is) making you to prepare (this), oh man, your ego (is) asking to make you (a slave) for its pleasure through (the) dirty channels of sewage and (it is) saying: “I am not leaving you to look (after) anything else. You must prepare always for me new channels of sewage!” That is wholly (our) ego’s main target and pleasure; (it is) making you to be his servant through sewage channels, to keep (the) towel (for it), to follow his orders, to prepare everything through channels for it. Therefore (it is) saying: “I am not leaving you to do anything else except (to work) for me”, and foolish people (are) running to that sewage channels to prepare for their egos breakfast, lunch, tea-time (in the) afternoon, dinner and supper nighttime also… And you are a perfect creation- Allah Almighty created you on a perfection (which is) not granted to any other creature. Your Lord, who created you on a perfect form (in your) outlooking and (in your) inner life, He is asking (from) you: “Come and fulfil your oath with Me (from the Day of Promises) that you should be only for My Divinely Service”, (but our) ego (is) saying: “No, I am not giving a chance to you, except (to be) for me!” Look now through whole mankind- what they are doing? They are running after sewage channels, they (are) never thinking for their Lord’s divinely Service. He Almighty is calling (them saying): “You are My servants, because I granted to you everything, every goodness here and Hereafter- come and fulfil your oath with Me!”, (but our) nafs, (the) ego (is) saying: “No, I am never giving a chance to you (to do that). Even (there are) 24 hours, (but) I am not happy to give you (free for even) 24 minutes!” “What about 1o minutes?” “1o minutes

also I am never giving to you (to be) free for anyone else!” What (a) bad position or situation for mankind without thinking on that point! 24 hours (you are) running to prepare new sewage channels and leaving our Lord who created us to be in existence and giving us (the) crown of being (the) most honoured creatures and also putting on our shoulders (a) most glorified dress from His divinely Presence. You are leaving that and you run to fulfil Shaitan’s, nafs, our egos’ desires that are all dirty desires. How we can find a way to be clean? All Prophets are coming to show the ways of cleanliness from our egoistic desires that are all dirty things, and (they were) coming to teach us how our relationship with our Lord should be, how we can find a way to His divinely Presence. They were coming to teach that. Therefore it is not true even one moment to make (the) ego the partner for our Lords Divinely Service! (The) ego, nafs, can’t enter to Divinely Presence, because it is dirty. What is the dirtiness of egos? Allah Almighty (is) saying: “Everyone who (is) leaving Me and leaving to be My servants, they are dirty ones!” Even (if) you are giving (only) one moment for your ego, (this is) making you to fall into dirtiness and therefore we are ordered to clean ourselves by saying: “La ilaha ill-Allah, Sayyidina Muhammadun Rasulullah sws.” This holy Word brings cleanliness for man, to be able to be Allah Almighty’s servants, to be in their Lord’s praising area and (to do) glorifying. But (our) nafs, (our) ego (is) saying: “You must work for me. Everything you must do for me, not (for) anyone else!” All Prophets (were) coming to teach people (their) real situation, so that they may prefer and choose the right path, (the) honoured path and (to reach to be an) honoured creation, (in an) honoured situation, (with an) honoured dressing in (the) divinely Presence. As long as they are running away, they are (remaining) dirty ones. Man (is) coming clean from his mother’s womb, but after their maturity age they are becoming to be dirty ones for (the reason of) their dirty desires that belong to our egos. Our egos (are) asking to enter through dirty channels, through sewage channels, and (especially the) new generation (is) thinking that to run through dirty channels of sewage is their target, and they are running on it, thinking nothing beyond that (aim) and their pleasure and pleasement is always to be through (these dirty) channels. Prophets (are) coming and (also) Awliya, Saints, to take them out (of these dirty channels) and to clean them, (and)

cleanliness (comes) with Divinely Service. Everything that you are doing, through your intention (it) may be for Allah, only for Allah, or (it may) be only for (your) ego, or (it may) be for Allah and (also) for (your) ego- but (those) who (are) working only for Allah- they are (the) most near and most honoured ones in divinely Presence- they are Prophets and their inheritors. Then people, according to their efforts, (they are) coming slowly to be in a good position; slowly they are cleaning themselves to be ready for entering divinely Service. (But) some of them (are) never taking any care (to clean themselves) and (they are) happy to be through sewage channels… Therefore we are asking forgiveness! You are praying- we are translating (now) from our headquarters, (saying) that: even you can pray, (but) your ego (is) asking a share for itself, (so that) if your are praying, (it is) saying that: “I am so important one for praying, no one can be like me.” And really (our ego is) asking to be said for him that: “You are someone that you are going to be glorified”- asking glorification for itself, ego, never asking glorifying for its Creator, for Allah Almighty. (The ego is) never declaring that every glorifying and praising and thanks (is due) only for Him Almighty, (but it is always) asking a share from that (glorifying) to say (about itself): “I am this one… (I am) that one… I am someone that no one can reach to my level for praying… No one can be like me an Imam… No one can be a perfect one for advising people… I am such a one!” And through that way (the ego is) asking through glorifying to be for him a share. It makes him happy to look to himself and to say (that): “I am someone! No one can reach to me as I am praying, as I am making Dhikr, as I am knowing, as I am doing…” This (ego is) taking everything (and using it) to be for himself. That is Kufr, that is partnership that Allah Almighty never likes! Therefore He is ordering to His servants, whom they are asking to come to His divinely Presence, to say: “La ilaha ill-Allah”, and your ego (is) saying, “No, you must not say this! You must say: La ilaha illa ana (Arabic, meaning: me), illa ana, illa ana…”. Instead to say: “La ilaha ill-Allah, ill-Allah, ill-Allah…”, asking to say: “La ilaha illa ana, illa ana, illa ana”, asking a share from everything, from every movement (it is) asking to take a share. When you are giving a share to it, (you are) making that one a partner for your Lord Allah Almighty, because every glory and praising, ever- ending glorifying, praising and thanks (is) only for Him, Allah Almighty!

Some people they are accepting their servanthood, but most people they are not thinking on it. They are thinking that they are something. The Lord of Servanthood going to be a heaviness on their shoulders and it is opposite to be our Lord's servants. (There is) no any other high honor or glory for Mankind. But people now they are drunk. When a person going to be drunk, that level going to be under the level of animals. Animals are knowing they have been created for Mankind by the Lord of Heavens-- they know it! But mostly now on Earth they are never thinking, or they are thinking but not accepting to be servants of the Lord of Heavens.

Whoever is accepting they have been given honor, and whom they are not accepting, no honor for them; they are losing servanthood. Over everything, Lordship is only for Allah, for the Creator. Everything that is in existence, He is creating and giving them some work or something to do. Nothing is created without a meaning, without a responsibility, or without a wisdom. Nothing created. Every creature they are knowing this, only Man that they are drunk now, they are so proud and not accepting. Accepting or not, if they are accepting they are reaching an honor, if not accepting they are losing their honors and no value for them in the Divinely Presence.
