dressed, Nimrod said, "He might be burned by a match, but his affair is not done with by a match." That is how great he was. According to the greatness he saw in the prophet Ibrahim (a.s), Nimrod gave his order. Whatever trees were to be found on the mountains, he had them cut down. He piled up a huge mount of wood. The blaze was the size of a mountain. The light of the flames could be seen from as far as Damascus. What was to be burnt? Something like a matchstick can burn a man. But that was not Nimrod's only aim. He wanted to burn that blessed person together with the religion and the true faith he had brought. Out of rage, because Ibrahim (a.s) had demolished and destroyed the idols, Nimrod said, "I will burn him in the fire." Yes, a match would suffice to burn a man. But he did not use a match, he lit a fire the size of a mountain instead . Why? Because prophet Ibrahim (a.s) was dressed in an awe-inspiring appearance. A man is not much more than a finger, one match would be enough to burn him. But Nimrod's aim was not only, to burn prophet Ibrahim's (a.s) physical body. It was Ibrahim's mission (upon him and our prophet be blessings and peace) he wanted to get rid of. Ala Nabiyyi Alayhi Salatu wassalam. It was the powerful call to believe in the divine unity of Allah, the Exalted, and the fact that he had destroyed the idols, they had been worshipping, thereby ruining the claim of their divinity for which Nimrod wanted to take revenge, so that he said: "I will burn him." Some reports say they collected wood for six months, then the fire was lit. Its blaze could be seen as far as Damascus, in a traveling distance of forty days. Truly, man is only the size of a finger, an ox is about ten times his size. An elephant may have

the weight of a hundred men. But he doesn't have the same value. The real goal was not to burn the prophet Ibrahim (a.s), prophet Ibrahim (a.s) could have been burnt by a match. What Nimrod wanted, was to destroy the religion of divine Unity, which Ibrahim (upon him and our prophet be blessings and peace) had brought by the order of the Owner of heavens and earth, the Lord of the mighty throne the Exalted, the absolute Real One. Which had ruined his own claim to power. He did all this, to burn the Divine order Ibrahim (a.s) had brought. What determines a person’s greatness or low position, is that some people are like gold, others are like dirt. Because of the gold Ibrahim (a.s) had brought his dirt had lost all its appeal together with the idols. This was the reason for his revenge, for his anger: "Why did he bring my dirt into that state? I will burn him, I will burn him", but in reality there was nothing to burn, because wood burns, but gold doesn't burn. O Shah Mardan, our distinguished master Sayyidina Ali (r.a). O glorious sultan Shah Mardan, Ma sha' Allah. Yah, yah, why are people rushing to gather behind him? People are trying to take some benefit. Every day all these newspapers write "this person is such and such, that person is somebody, this one solves the problems, that one ruins things", foolishly spreading all these things. All of it has no value. The greatness awarded by newspapers has no value, my son. In the old days there was no such thing called newspaper. It's a new invention, as they say. In the old days these papers didn't exist. What do we need them for now? Look what wisdom Shah Mardan teaches! Why did they invent newspapers? To present false greatness to people. Goodness! you are all fake. Hey, your core is dung and your body is nothing but dirt. Your personality is only manure. Your greatness is all over the papers, printed by newspapers. The papers' greatness is not even worth ten cents. It expires today, tomorrow it's torn up and thrown away. Real greatness is sent down for true servants from heavens. But fake greatness, is found in the papers. With plenty of pictures, titles and pompous display. When you look closely, they don't resemble anything. Pardon me, but he looks like nothing,

that French president and I don't want to talk about ours, they might get offended. Ours has lost all greatness, what greatness is there left? One can say that Sultan Abd al-Hamid possessed greatness, but the greatness of those who are awarded greatness by newspapers... Mehmet, my son, do you understand this point? The greatness of the 21st century, from where do its great personalities receive their greatness? The newspapers award them their greatness. Big fat pictures in the papers, "Well, he went there. Oh, he came here, and he did this, he did that. But in reality the one called great in the papers isn't great at all. As far as the greatness found in newspapers is concerned, - and I am speaking off the records - if you can't find anything to wipe your backside, you may use that paper. Whose photograph is on it? Whosoever's picture it may be. That is their position. Shame on you. This is a mankind which has lost its humaneness. They are beyond any description, beyond words, outside of humanity. O Shah Mardan, may blessings and peace be upon you, coming from your beloved Muhammad al-Mustafa (may peace & blessings be upon him). How beautiful, how beautiful! They can't distinguish any more between beauty and ugliness, those people given greatness by the papers have become full of conceit. Every day the papers print those big fat pictures: "This is so and so." "Let's see, how does he look?" "Just like us." "Maybe he's got two heads?" "No." "Does he have four feet?" "No, man!" "So what? How many arms? Maybe forty legs?" "No my dear, he's got two legs." "Then what about his mouth?" "The mouth looks just like ours. "Whatever he finds, he eats, without distinction. They are people who don't know halal or haram." "So how can he be great?" "The people have cheered him and said, 'This is our leader.' The papers have made him great, printed his picture. So he became a great man." "How many meters tall is he?" "It is well known that the people of this nation are quite tall, so he's probably about two meters." Well, if he is two meters tall, who is very tall La yakhlu min al-habali (he doesn't lack foolishness) is affected by stupidity. He is very stupid. Some people who are short wear especially high heeled shoes to appear taller than they are. In our days all those who are considered great by the newspapers belong to this kind

of people putting high heels under their shoes. These are the people who rule the world - absolutely blind! They're unable to control themselves, how can they reign over the world? That's how it is over there. This is the French one. Well, we are Turks. We run around barefoot anyway, our shoes are falling apart, we possess nothing, that's why we receive no attention. All greatness belongs to Allah, and honor belongs to Allah's Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace!). Our master, did he have his picture printed in the newspapers? He ordered: "Don't portray me! I don't want greatness by being depicted." O glorious Messenger! None of the sultans ordered to be portrayed so that people should see it,, they were not interested. It was the Europeans, who had their pictures taken, those men awarded greatness by newspapers. One of them was called Napoleon. What happened to Napoleon? He was a great man, they say. The man ending the Middle Ages, bringing a new age. How tall was he? He was about a meter and a half. He was a source of great affliction. What did he do? He murdered the king. But cutting someone's head doesn't make a man great. A lion in the forest may kill three or five animals, or how many he can find cut their heads, tear off their limbs and devour them, but he's still the same animal. An animal, that eats a lot, becomes bigger, but an animal has no honour, while the human being possesses honour. You are a human being! Don't look at those who are given greatness by the papers! Now there is another punishment, another calamity, that thing they call television, it’s another calamity immersing people by displaying countless programs and shows. So this man is this or that. Does it really matter? Well, he is two meters tall, man, isn't that enough already? Another one, he is at a wedding, playing some string instrument. Allah Allah. He plays the strings. His father plays the drum, his mother is also playing around. Allah! How did he become great? The papers made him great. Now he'll give a speech at the local assembly. At the end he can't remember what he said at the beginning. they are passing him notes, "say this or that!" "Excuse me", he says, "yesterday’s fashion was different. Today we have to

play according today’s rules." It is just weird. Shaitan has prepared all these things for them these are his teachings. They are like a hollow container without a bottom, nothing stays in it. Real greatness comes from heavens. Our master, the Sultan of Prophets (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "Don't portray me, because you are incapable to depict the dress "of greatness my Lord has dressed me with. It will burn you." That's why there is no picture. Our master is not one of these people, who receive greatness from newspapers. Have they got no shame, that they don't mention the name of such a great sultan? Only someone, whose picture is in the newspapers, is a great man. What greatness ist that? If greatness is measured by weight, an ox has more greatness than they do. Measured by length, by tallness, they couldn't match a giraffe. This is the general comprehension now. O Shah Mardan, we are gratefully obliged to you, for inspiring us, for your explanations. Who holds the rank of greatness? Greatness is not determined by pictures in the newspapers, nor by false titles. Yesterday he was the top deputy. Today they threw him out. Well, what happened to greatness? If he was gold, they would have held on to him til the end, so it means, the guy wasn't all gold, rather something like grass, which those animals feeding on it turn into dung. He belonged to that kind. What value does it have? For three days the papers print big fat pictures, "He is the leader of such-and-such country, he's this and he's that." O muslims, you're also shown in huge pictures, o princes, o kings. Ha, let's say, your uncles son, Shah Mardan is, warning you, is waking you up! If greatness, was measured by weight, an ox is heavier than you. Otherwise, if it was measured by tallness, by length, there are giraffes. Giraffes are maybe three, maybe even five meters tall and while the ox may be heavier, the rhinoceros surpasses it, but the hippopotamus is even bigger. When you look into their faces, they are really strange. Their creator has made them in that way. They don't claim any greatness, they don't say "But I am much heavier", or "My looks are more charming." They don't claim anything.Their heads are drawn in, they never raise them, in the forests they eat either plants or other animals. What is their

standing? None. Greatness, O Shah Mardan, how wonderfully you expressed it. how eloquently you described it, the greatness of today, of what they call 21st century. Their great ones are in the newspapers, which make them great. Today they make them great. Tomorrow they throw them out. Well, what's that? If he was gold yesterday, he is still gold today. That means, he is not gold. If you were gold, the people would have kept you. But you are not gold. Because you are not gold, because you have no value, they tear you up, maybe even wipe their backside with it. Their posters, hung up on the wall yesterday, today they are taken down torn up and thrown away. That is not greatness! Don't claim to be great. O people, the calamity which has befallen mankind is caused by their claims of greatness. Shaitan deceives the people of the 21st century, saying "I will make you great. Come with me. "Let's find a party and elect one from amongst us." This man, this great man, well, where did he come from? "He came from thingy, man, from Pasinler village", or "from such-and-such a city, from Persia" or, "he came from the tribe of a blessed one." "Does that make him great?" "He became great. He's a great one." But how did this greatness come about? "Well, an elephant is weightier than you?" "Heavier, but, "Let’s choose him then. It won’t hurt." Tell the newspaper to print it. Tell them, that today greatness belongs to elephants. This is a new revelation. O Shah Mardan print it, don't be afraid. God forbid! Does Shah Mardan fear? When he lion-heartedly draws his sword Dhu l-Fiqar, he could cut with a single blow the heads of posteron- the-wall-heroes like you. The one, whose head is being cut, what about him? He told the other one to write in the newspapers, so he will be greater, to show in that box of Shaitan's, look, in this place he did that, look, in that place he cut the ribbon, look, in this place he held a speech, look, in that place he chatted some nonsense, look, here he told some stories to appease the public. What did he do? His deeds are all in the toilet. There is nothing one could grasp. I'm ashamed in front of Allah to say it, but I shall arrange for a demon to haunt

those who claim greatness so it will run down their pants, they can't hold their filth any longer. and it will run out from the bottom of their trousers, when they go to their session of parliament. They are being sold as really great, but just like for Nimrod before he was brought to fall, to teach them a lesson regarding their ways there are thousands of subservient spirits. These spirits, they are like fire, no one can interfere with them. They will be taught a lesson: Is Islam the truth? Or is it false? The way they stick to, is it the truth? Or is it false? Those made great by hanging their posters on the walls are considered great because of these posters, But posters on the walls don't make great men! We have to look at the works, they have done. If you are gold, gold doesn't need advertising. But if you're fake, made from plastic, they have to hang you up on every wall, informing people he is like this, he is like that. Well, gold, does it need any advertising? Gold is gold. Be it a ring, be it a bracelet, or a necklace, gold is gold. It's value doesn't diminish. But who are those, who mix with people and are full of self-imortance those great ones according to the papers, great ones of the 21st century? Those, whose newspaper pictures are stuck up on the walls those, whose names appear with their photographs in the headlines, they are not great. For greatness you have to search. Gold is not presented to you by the newspapers. Be gold, become gold! Our master (blessings and peace be upon him) came, - Ma sha' Allah, O Shah Mardan - our master, upon whom the noble Quran, was sent down, coming from the throne of the All-Merciful. That's why our master (upon him be blessings and peace) said, "Don't make pictures of me! You'll not be able to portray me "adequately. There can be no picture of me. "I am not someone, whose picture can be taken." He forbade it. Our master forbade making someone great through pictures. People of our times are today made great with newspapers, to be thrown into the toilet tomorrow. "Become a human being" says Shah Mardan. O blessed Shah Mardan, may Allah open for you the ground, to clean away the liars. "Soon it will be", he told me. "The days are near, when none of the liars we be left. we will clean up East and

West and spread news of those to whom Allah, the Exalted, has granted greatness, we'll announce them, let them be known: 'Look, O people, who is really great!' Those, who have their statues erected, their posters made, people making false statements, they cannot be great!" Get your heads straight. In which place are you going to end up? It'll be the place, where all people eating food have to go, the toilet. It will be the toilet. O Allah! Look, this theme evolved a nice way. It is an untouched subject, teaching good manners, "Adab Ya Hu", "Watch your manners!" Keep good manners, so you don't come running later, having ended up in the toilet, because you claimed "I am this, I am that." So don't claim greatness, don't claim greatness! May Allah forgive us. Our distinguished Sheikh told a story of one of the friends of Allah, which Shah Mardan also relates, according to which a blessed one came into one of these places they call coffee shops, to have some coffee or tea. Looking around he noticed someone sitting there, with his headgear tucked over his eyes like this, one foot over the other, without paying any attention, who came or went. The way the man was sitting, his dagger had slipped up and down below his private parts were showing, while he had his legs stretched out one over the other. The person entering the coffee shop was one of the Sheikhs. Sheikh Efendi told me this. He saw the man, sitting there with his felt hat pulled halfway over his face, not greeting anyone coming in or going out. So he sat down next to him. "My son", he said, "why do you make such a show of your greatness here?, as if to say, 'I am great, I have a lot to show, I am this or I am that'. This dagger of yours also reaches down to your thing. My son", he said, "don't you ever have to use the toilet?" This is what he had to say. The man immediately kissed his feet and hands. "No one has taught us anything" he said "They have deceived us with fake pictures on the walls, with fake titles", he said. "O blessed servant of Allah, you have woken me up. From you I learn good manners. Come, let me kiss your hand!" "I have no hand for you to kiss, my son", he replied "Just look after yourself. You'll find someone to set you straight."

Adab! In the assembly of the wise searching and practising is demanded, knowledge comes at the end, first you need good manners, first comes Adab! Adab Ya Hu! Let it be written in handwriting, not in print. Yes. Let it be written in handwriting and put it up on your front door! Hang it up at your workplace, let them learn good manners, so they may enter the realm of human beings. O Shah Mardan, forgive us. O beloved brethren of Shah Mardan, close companions of Shah Mardan, Salamu- Llah alaykum, may the peace of Allah be upon all of us! May we flourish here and hereafter. Only a human being who knows humaneness is really human. Who doesn't know humaneness is an animal. Those people who are made great by pictures on the walls or in the papers are not really great. today they are considered great, tomorrow, people use their picture to wipe their backsides. O Shah Mardan, here you are. Such valuable advice you gave to us. So let us say, "Bismi-Llahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim My Lord, make it easy, don't make it hard, my Lord, complete it with goodness!" We have set out on our way for the sake of Allah, our destination is the presence of our Gracious Protector. Let us go in a clean state. Let us go well mannered. Let us not go as barbarians or liars. Let us go into His presence as gold, not as manure! Manure is not allowed into the palace. Gold gets in, but manure mustn't enter the palace. The palaces of our Ottoman forefathers were spotlessly clean, no dirt there whatsoever. But their treasury was full of gold. They would give without counting Take a shovel full, take a shovel full from these treasures. Masses of gold. Take as much as you can! Get out and go! But if they (today's rulers) have to give five liras, they sent you running around for five days. Pushing, shoving here and there, until you finally get five liras, which are not enough for anything. You'll get your lesson! Be it Turks or Persians, they'll get their lesson, Arabs or Abyssinians, they'll get their lesson. If at all, you'll be put into the lowest category of human beings, the next category after you are animals. All success is from Allah Most High. O Shah Mardan, what wonderful advice you've given to us, may your rank be elevated. Let your gaze rest upon us. Pray for us to hold on to what you've let us hear. O

Es ist nicht wirklich eindeutig, wer was ist. Adab ya Hu! Bewahrt gutes Benehmen. Das ist genau das, was nötig ist. Die Menschen haben kein Benehmen. Die Jugendlichen besonders. Ihnen werden keine Manieren beigebracht. Und die Älteren haben ihre Manieren auch vergessen. Sie haben den Respekt verloren. Marhaba! Wir bitten um Erlaubnis. O Menschen Allahs, wir bitten um Unterstützung. O Sultan der Heiligen, wir bitten um Unterstützung. O Meister des geistigen Bereichs, Shah Mardan, wir bitten um Erlaubnis. Deine leidenschaftliche Liebe und Begeisterung sind ein Ozean, eine tiefe See. Wer ein Tropfen von dieser See nimmt, wird in dieser Welt blühen und die ewige Seligkeit des Paradieses im Jenseits finden. Willkommen in der Versammlung Shah Mardans. Ahh.. Ahh.. Ahh.. As-Salamu `alaykum. Entbieten wir Frie- densgrüße. Es ist das Zeichen der Gläubigen. Tiere haben keine Sprache. Sie sagen ihn nicht. Aber dem Menschen hat Allah der Höchste Sprache gegeben. Er machte ihn zu Seinem Vertreter auf Erden. Er gab ihm Sprache. As-Salamu `alaykum! Anwesende, an Shah Mardans reich gedecktem Tisch zu sitzen, Shah Mardans Tapferkeit zu beobachten, davon zu erfahren, einen Anteil von seinem Licht zu erbitten.. Wer einen Anteil von seinem Licht hat, nimmt kein Licht von anderen Wegen. Ein Mensch ohne Licht ist wie ein pechschwarzes Stück Kohle. Das einzige, wozu es gut ist, ist im Feuer zu verbrennen. Ursprünglich ist Kohle Holz. Unsere Schränke und Kommoden sind auch aus Holz. Aber Holz, das zu Kohle geworden ist, ist nur gut für's Feuer, während anderes Holz jedwedem Gebrauch dient. Das bedeutet, es gibt zwei Arten von Menschen. Hören wir Shah Mardan zu. O geliebte Brüder Shah Mardans, tretet ein in die Versammlung der geistigen Sultane. Willkommen. Sagen wir As-Salamu `alaykum! O geliebte Brüder Shah Mardans. Der Sultan des Bereichs der wahren Menschen ist Shah Mardan. Wie köstlich es ist, in

seiner Versammlung zu sitzen, teilzuhaben an seinen Heldentaten, seinen herrlichen Werken und redlichen Eigenschaften. Er ist erschienen, Shah Mardan. Ma sha' Allah. Bringt ihn her in unsere Versammlung! Bringt ihn her! Kommt, hören wir, was ihm zu sagen aufgetragen wird, was ihm zu erklären befohlen wird. Bei der Erwähnung des Eigners der Stadt des Wissens, des Oberhauptes der ganzen Schöpfung, des Stolzes des Universums, des Geliebten des Herrn aller Welten -Hu- stehe ich aus Respekt gerne auf. Ich würde es gern jedes Mal machen, wäre es nicht wegen meiner Schwäche.. Er bietet Schulung, lehrt die Wege des Guten an seinem Hof, Shah Mardan. Er wartet auf dem Übungsgelände. Nach den Morgengebeten, wenn ihr irgendwo bis zum Sonnenaufgang sitzen könnt, oder wenn ihr nicht so viel Zeit habt, sei es in einem Kaffeehaus, bei einem Heiligengrab, in einer Tekke oder Karawanserei, seid bereit! Schlaft nicht! Betrachtet die majestätische Größe eueres Herrn! Sie sollen euch die majestätische Größe des Erhabenen, des Höchsten lehren. Sagen wir Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Dank sei unserem barmherzigen Schutzherrn dafür, daß Er uns Seinen Erhabenen Namen nennen läßt. Es ist eine Ehre, die der Nation Muhammads (saws) gewährt wurde. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Es wurde einigen Propheten für eine redliche Tat gewährt, dann wurde es weggenommen. Der Prophet Ibrahim (as) sprach die Basmala und das Feuer ging aus. Der Prophet Sulayman (as) sprach die Basmala und der Thron der Bilkis, der Königin von Saba, erschien. Ihnen wurde der Gebrauch einmal gewährt in Momenten der Not. Aber unserem königlichen Gesandten, dem Geliebten Allahs des Höchsten, unserem glorreichen Führer Muhammad al-Mustafa (saws) -wir gehören zu seiner Nation- wurde die Basmala herabgesandt für uns und nicht wieder weggenommen danach. Sie wurde für den Propheten Nuh (as) gesandt, und er wurde gerettet. Sie wurde für den Propheten Sulayman (as) herabgesandt, und er brachte den Thron der Bilkis, der Königin von Saba. Sie wurde für den Propheten Ibrahim (as) herabgesandt, und er wurde vom Feuer Nimrods errettet. Sagt die Basmala, o Ignoranten, sagt "Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim". Um den Propheten Ibrahim (as) zu verbrennen, mobilisierte Nimrod die ganze Bevölkerung. Nicht ein Baum wurde in den Bergen belassen. 'Ich verbrennen ihn, koste es, was es wolle', sagte er bezüglich Ibrahims (as). Nach einem Bericht konnten die Flammen, die Nimrod in Ninive, seiner Residenz, entzündete, bis nach Damaskus gesehen werden. So ein gewaltiges Feuer war es. Wozu? Um den Propheten Ibrahim (as) zu verbrennen, jemanden, genannt Prophet Ibrahim

(as). Mit einem Zündholz hätte er ihn verbrennen können, mit einem Zeichen seines Herrn hätte ein einziges Zündholz gereicht, um einen Mann zu Asche zu verbrennen. Aber wegen der Größe von Ibrahims (as) Auftrag, wegen seines ehrfurchtgebietenden Charismas, mit dem er bekleidet war, sagte Nimrod: 'Er kann mit einem Zündholz verbrannt werden, aber seine Sache ist nicht mit einem Zündholz erledigt.' So groß war er. Wegen der Größe, die er in dem Propheten Ibrahim (as) sah, gab Nimrod seinen Befehl. Welche Bäume auch in den Bergen zu finden waren, ließ er abholzen. Er stapelte sie zu einem gewaltigen Berg von Holz auf. Die Flamme war von der Größe eines Berges. Das Licht der Flammen konnte bis nach Damaskus gesehen werden. Was sollte verbrannt werden? So viel wie ein Streichholz kann einen Menschen verbrennen. Aber das war nicht Nimrods einziges Ziel. Er wollte diesen gesegneten Menschen zusammen mit der Religion und dem wahren Glauben, den er gebracht hatte, verbrennen. Außer sich vor Wut, weil Ibrahim (as) die Götzen beschädigt und zerstört hatte, sagte Nimrod: 'Ich werde ihn im Feuer verbrennen.' Ja, ein Zündholz würde reichen, um einen Menschen zu verbrennen. Aber er nahm keins, er entzündete ein Feuer so groß wie ein Berg. Warum? Weil der Prophet Ibrahim (as) von ehrfurchtgebietender Erscheinung war. Ein Mensch ist nicht viel mehr als ein Finger, ein Zündholz wäre genug, ihn zu verbrennen, aber Nimrods Ziel war nicht nur, den physischen Körper des Propheten Ibrahim (as) zu verbrennen. Es war Ibrahims (as) Sendung, die er loswerden wollte. `Ala Nabiyyi `alayhi Salatu wa s-Salam. Es war der mächtige Ruf, an die Göttliche Einheit Allahs des Erhabenen zu glauben, und die Tatsache, daß er die Götzen zerstört hatte, die sie angebetet hatten, und damit den Anspruch ihrer Göttlichkeit ruiniert hatte, wofür Nimrod sich rächen wollte, so daß er sagte: 'Ich werde ihn verbrennen'. Manche Berichte sagen, sie sammeltn 6 Monate lang Holz, dann wurde das Feuer entzündet. Seine Flammen konnten bis nach Damaskus gesehen werden, in einer Reiseentfernung von 40 Tagen. Wahrlich, ein Mensch hat nur die Größe eines Fingers. Ein Ochse ist ungefähr 10x so groß. Ein Elefant kann das Gewicht von 100 Männern haben, aber er hat nicht denselben Wert. Das wahre Ziel war nicht, den Propheten Ibrahim (as) zu verbrennen. Der Prophet Ibrahim (as) hätte mit

dressed, Nimrod said, "He might be burned by a match, but his affair is not done with by a match." That is how great he was. According to the greatness he saw in the prophet Ibrahim (a.s), Nimrod gave his order. Whatever trees were to be found on the mountains, he had them cut down. He piled up a huge mount of wood. The blaze was the size of a mountain. The light of the flames could be seen from as far as Damascus. What was to be burnt? Something like a matchstick can burn a man. But that was not Nimrod's only aim. He wanted to burn that blessed person together with the religion and the true faith he had brought. Out of rage, because Ibrahim (a.s) had demolished and destroyed the idols, Nimrod said, "I will burn him in the fire." Yes, a match would suffice to burn a man. But he did not use a match, he lit a fire the size of a mountain instead . Why? Because prophet Ibrahim (a.s) was dressed in an awe-inspiring appearance. A man is not much more than a finger, one match would be enough to burn him. But Nimrod's aim was not only, to burn prophet Ibrahim's (a.s) physical body. It was Ibrahim's mission (upon him and our prophet be blessings and peace) he wanted to get rid of. Ala Nabiyyi Alayhi Salatu wassalam. It was the powerful call to believe in the divine unity of Allah, the Exalted, and the fact that he had destroyed the idols, they had been worshipping, thereby ruining the claim of their divinity for which Nimrod wanted to take revenge, so that he said: "I will burn him." Some reports say they collected wood for six months, then the fire was lit. Its blaze could be seen as far as Damascus, in a traveling distance of forty days. Truly, man is only the size of a finger, an ox is about ten times his size. An elephant may have

the weight of a hundred men. But he doesn't have the same value. The real goal was not to burn the prophet Ibrahim (a.s), prophet Ibrahim (a.s) could have been burnt by a match. What Nimrod wanted, was to destroy the religion of divine Unity, which Ibrahim (upon him and our prophet be blessings and peace) had brought by the order of the Owner of heavens and earth, the Lord of the mighty throne the Exalted, the absolute Real One. Which had ruined his own claim to power. He did all this, to burn the Divine order Ibrahim (a.s) had brought. What determines a person’s greatness or low position, is that some people are like gold, others are like dirt. Because of the gold Ibrahim (a.s) had brought his dirt had lost all its appeal together with the idols. This was the reason for his revenge, for his anger: "Why did he bring my dirt into that state? I will burn him, I will burn him", but in reality there was nothing to burn, because wood burns, but gold doesn't burn. O Shah Mardan, our distinguished master Sayyidina Ali (r.a). O glorious sultan Shah Mardan, Ma sha' Allah. Yah, yah, why are people rushing to gather behind him? People are trying to take some benefit. Every day all these newspapers write "this person is such and such, that person is somebody, this one solves the problems, that one ruins things", foolishly spreading all these things. All of it has no value. The greatness awarded by newspapers has no value, my son. In the old days there was no such thing called newspaper. It's a new invention, as they say. In the old days these papers didn't exist. What do we need them for now? Look what wisdom Shah Mardan teaches! Why did they invent newspapers? To present false greatness to people. Goodness! you are all fake. Hey, your core is dung and your body is nothing but dirt. Your personality is only manure. Your greatness is all over the papers, printed by newspapers. The papers' greatness is not even worth ten cents. It expires today, tomorrow it's torn up and thrown away. Real greatness is sent down for true servants from heavens. But fake greatness, is found in the papers. With plenty of pictures, titles and pompous display. When you look closely, they don't resemble anything. Pardon me, but he looks like nothing,

that French president and I don't want to talk about ours, they might get offended. Ours has lost all greatness, what greatness is there left? One can say that Sultan Abd al-Hamid possessed greatness, but the greatness of those who are awarded greatness by newspapers... Mehmet, my son, do you understand this point? The greatness of the 21st century, from where do its great personalities receive their greatness? The newspapers award them their greatness. Big fat pictures in the papers, "Well, he went there. Oh, he came here, and he did this, he did that. But in reality the one called great in the papers isn't great at all. As far as the greatness found in newspapers is concerned, - and I am speaking off the records - if you can't find anything to wipe your backside, you may use that paper. Whose photograph is on it? Whosoever's picture it may be. That is their position. Shame on you. This is a mankind which has lost its humaneness. They are beyond any description, beyond words, outside of humanity. O Shah Mardan, may blessings and peace be upon you, coming from your beloved Muhammad al-Mustafa (may peace & blessings be upon him). How beautiful, how beautiful! They can't distinguish any more between beauty and ugliness, those people given greatness by the papers have become full of conceit. Every day the papers print those big fat pictures: "This is so and so." "Let's see, how does he look?" "Just like us." "Maybe he's got two heads?" "No." "Does he have four feet?" "No, man!" "So what? How many arms? Maybe forty legs?" "No my dear, he's got two legs." "Then what about his mouth?" "The mouth looks just like ours. "Whatever he finds, he eats, without distinction. They are people who don't know halal or haram." "So how can he be great?" "The people have cheered him and said, 'This is our leader.' The papers have made him great, printed his picture. So he became a great man." "How many meters tall is he?" "It is well known that the people of this nation are quite tall, so he's probably about two meters." Well, if he is two meters tall, who is very tall La yakhlu min al-habali (he doesn't lack foolishness) is affected by stupidity. He is very stupid. Some people who are short wear especially high heeled shoes to appear taller than they are. In our days all those who are considered great by the newspapers belong to this kind

of people putting high heels under their shoes. These are the people who rule the world - absolutely blind! They're unable to control themselves, how can they reign over the world? That's how it is over there. This is the French one. Well, we are Turks. We run around barefoot anyway, our shoes are falling apart, we possess nothing, that's why we receive no attention. All greatness belongs to Allah, and honor belongs to Allah's Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace!). Our master, did he have his picture printed in the newspapers? He ordered: "Don't portray me! I don't want greatness by being depicted." O glorious Messenger! None of the sultans ordered to be portrayed so that people should see it,, they were not interested. It was the Europeans, who had their pictures taken, those men awarded greatness by newspapers. One of them was called Napoleon. What happened to Napoleon? He was a great man, they say. The man ending the Middle Ages, bringing a new age. How tall was he? He was about a meter and a half. He was a source of great affliction. What did he do? He murdered the king. But cutting someone's head doesn't make a man great. A lion in the forest may kill three or five animals, or how many he can find cut their heads, tear off their limbs and devour them, but he's still the same animal. An animal, that eats a lot, becomes bigger, but an animal has no honour, while the human being possesses honour. You are a human being! Don't look at those who are given greatness by the papers! Now there is another punishment, another calamity, that thing they call television, it’s another calamity immersing people by displaying countless programs and shows. So this man is this or that. Does it really matter? Well, he is two meters tall, man, isn't that enough already? Another one, he is at a wedding, playing some string instrument. Allah Allah. He plays the strings. His father plays the drum, his mother is also playing around. Allah! How did he become great? The papers made him great. Now he'll give a speech at the local assembly. At the end he can't remember what he said at the beginning. they are passing him notes, "say this or that!" "Excuse me", he says, "yesterday’s fashion was different. Today we have to

play according today’s rules." It is just weird. Shaitan has prepared all these things for them these are his teachings. They are like a hollow container without a bottom, nothing stays in it. Real greatness comes from heavens. Our master, the Sultan of Prophets (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "Don't portray me, because you are incapable to depict the dress "of greatness my Lord has dressed me with. It will burn you." That's why there is no picture. Our master is not one of these people, who receive greatness from newspapers. Have they got no shame, that they don't mention the name of such a great sultan? Only someone, whose picture is in the newspapers, is a great man. What greatness ist that? If greatness is measured by weight, an ox has more greatness than they do. Measured by length, by tallness, they couldn't match a giraffe. This is the general comprehension now. O Shah Mardan, we are gratefully obliged to you, for inspiring us, for your explanations. Who holds the rank of greatness? Greatness is not determined by pictures in the newspapers, nor by false titles. Yesterday he was the top deputy. Today they threw him out. Well, what happened to greatness? If he was gold, they would have held on to him til the end, so it means, the guy wasn't all gold, rather something like grass, which those animals feeding on it turn into dung. He belonged to that kind. What value does it have? For three days the papers print big fat pictures, "He is the leader of such-and-such country, he's this and he's that." O muslims, you're also shown in huge pictures, o princes, o kings. Ha, let's say, your uncles son, Shah Mardan is, warning you, is waking you up! If greatness, was measured by weight, an ox is heavier than you. Otherwise, if it was measured by tallness, by length, there are giraffes. Giraffes are maybe three, maybe even five meters tall and while the ox may be heavier, the rhinoceros surpasses it, but the hippopotamus is even bigger. When you look into their faces, they are really strange. Their creator has made them in that way. They don't claim any greatness, they don't say "But I am much heavier", or "My looks are more charming." They don't claim anything.Their heads are drawn in, they never raise them, in the forests they eat either plants or other animals. What is their

standing? None. Greatness, O Shah Mardan, how wonderfully you expressed it. how eloquently you described it, the greatness of today, of what they call 21st century. Their great ones are in the newspapers, which make them great. Today they make them great. Tomorrow they throw them out. Well, what's that? If he was gold yesterday, he is still gold today. That means, he is not gold. If you were gold, the people would have kept you. But you are not gold. Because you are not gold, because you have no value, they tear you up, maybe even wipe their backside with it. Their posters, hung up on the wall yesterday, today they are taken down torn up and thrown away. That is not greatness! Don't claim to be great. O people, the calamity which has befallen mankind is caused by their claims of greatness. Shaitan deceives the people of the 21st century, saying "I will make you great. Come with me. "Let's find a party and elect one from amongst us." This man, this great man, well, where did he come from? "He came from thingy, man, from Pasinler village", or "from such-and-such a city, from Persia" or, "he came from the tribe of a blessed one." "Does that make him great?" "He became great. He's a great one." But how did this greatness come about? "Well, an elephant is weightier than you?" "Heavier, but, "Let’s choose him then. It won’t hurt." Tell the newspaper to print it. Tell them, that today greatness belongs to elephants. This is a new revelation. O Shah Mardan print it, don't be afraid. God forbid! Does Shah Mardan fear? When he lion-heartedly draws his sword Dhu l-Fiqar, he could cut with a single blow the heads of posteron- the-wall-heroes like you. The one, whose head is being cut, what about him? He told the other one to write in the newspapers, so he will be greater, to show in that box of Shaitan's, look, in this place he did that, look, in that place he cut the ribbon, look, in this place he held a speech, look, in that place he chatted some nonsense, look, here he told some stories to appease the public. What did he do? His deeds are all in the toilet. There is nothing one could grasp. I'm ashamed in front of Allah to say it, but I shall arrange for a demon to haunt

those who claim greatness so it will run down their pants, they can't hold their filth any longer. and it will run out from the bottom of their trousers, when they go to their session of parliament. They are being sold as really great, but just like for Nimrod before he was brought to fall, to teach them a lesson regarding their ways there are thousands of subservient spirits. These spirits, they are like fire, no one can interfere with them. They will be taught a lesson: Is Islam the truth? Or is it false? The way they stick to, is it the truth? Or is it false? Those made great by hanging their posters on the walls are considered great because of these posters, But posters on the walls don't make great men! We have to look at the works, they have done. If you are gold, gold doesn't need advertising. But if you're fake, made from plastic, they have to hang you up on every wall, informing people he is like this, he is like that. Well, gold, does it need any advertising? Gold is gold. Be it a ring, be it a bracelet, or a necklace, gold is gold. It's value doesn't diminish. But who are those, who mix with people and are full of self-imortance those great ones according to the papers, great ones of the 21st century? Those, whose newspaper pictures are stuck up on the walls those, whose names appear with their photographs in the headlines, they are not great. For greatness you have to search. Gold is not presented to you by the newspapers. Be gold, become gold! Our master (blessings and peace be upon him) came, - Ma sha' Allah, O Shah Mardan - our master, upon whom the noble Quran, was sent down, coming from the throne of the All-Merciful. That's why our master (upon him be blessings and peace) said, "Don't make pictures of me! You'll not be able to portray me "adequately. There can be no picture of me. "I am not someone, whose picture can be taken." He forbade it. Our master forbade making someone great through pictures. People of our times are today made great with newspapers, to be thrown into the toilet tomorrow. "Become a human being" says Shah Mardan. O blessed Shah Mardan, may Allah open for you the ground, to clean away the liars. "Soon it will be", he told me. "The days are near, when none of the liars we be left. we will clean up East and

West and spread news of those to whom Allah, the Exalted, has granted greatness, we'll announce them, let them be known: 'Look, O people, who is really great!' Those, who have their statues erected, their posters made, people making false statements, they cannot be great!" Get your heads straight. In which place are you going to end up? It'll be the place, where all people eating food have to go, the toilet. It will be the toilet. O Allah! Look, this theme evolved a nice way. It is an untouched subject, teaching good manners, "Adab Ya Hu", "Watch your manners!" Keep good manners, so you don't come running later, having ended up in the toilet, because you claimed "I am this, I am that." So don't claim greatness, don't claim greatness! May Allah forgive us. Our distinguished Sheikh told a story of one of the friends of Allah, which Shah Mardan also relates, according to which a blessed one came into one of these places they call coffee shops, to have some coffee or tea. Looking around he noticed someone sitting there, with his headgear tucked over his eyes like this, one foot over the other, without paying any attention, who came or went. The way the man was sitting, his dagger had slipped up and down below his private parts were showing, while he had his legs stretched out one over the other. The person entering the coffee shop was one of the Sheikhs. Sheikh Efendi told me this. He saw the man, sitting there with his felt hat pulled halfway over his face, not greeting anyone coming in or going out. So he sat down next to him. "My son", he said, "why do you make such a show of your greatness here?, as if to say, 'I am great, I have a lot to show, I am this or I am that'. This dagger of yours also reaches down to your thing. My son", he said, "don't you ever have to use the toilet?" This is what he had to say. The man immediately kissed his feet and hands. "No one has taught us anything" he said "They have deceived us with fake pictures on the walls, with fake titles", he said. "O blessed servant of Allah, you have woken me up. From you I learn good manners. Come, let me kiss your hand!" "I have no hand for you to kiss, my son", he replied "Just look after yourself. You'll find someone to set you straight."

Adab! In the assembly of the wise searching and practising is demanded, knowledge comes at the end, first you need good manners, first comes Adab! Adab Ya Hu! Let it be written in handwriting, not in print. Yes. Let it be written in handwriting and put it up on your front door! Hang it up at your workplace, let them learn good manners, so they may enter the realm of human beings. O Shah Mardan, forgive us. O beloved brethren of Shah Mardan, close companions of Shah Mardan, Salamu- Llah alaykum, may the peace of Allah be upon all of us! May we flourish here and hereafter. Only a human being who knows humaneness is really human. Who doesn't know humaneness is an animal. Those people who are made great by pictures on the walls or in the papers are not really great. today they are considered great, tomorrow, people use their picture to wipe their backsides. O Shah Mardan, here you are. Such valuable advice you gave to us. So let us say, "Bismi-Llahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim My Lord, make it easy, don't make it hard, my Lord, complete it with goodness!" We have set out on our way for the sake of Allah, our destination is the presence of our Gracious Protector. Let us go in a clean state. Let us go well mannered. Let us not go as barbarians or liars. Let us go into His presence as gold, not as manure! Manure is not allowed into the palace. Gold gets in, but manure mustn't enter the palace. The palaces of our Ottoman forefathers were spotlessly clean, no dirt there whatsoever. But their treasury was full of gold. They would give without counting Take a shovel full, take a shovel full from these treasures. Masses of gold. Take as much as you can! Get out and go! But if they (today's rulers) have to give five liras, they sent you running around for five days. Pushing, shoving here and there, until you finally get five liras, which are not enough for anything. You'll get your lesson! Be it Turks or Persians, they'll get their lesson, Arabs or Abyssinians, they'll get their lesson. If at all, you'll be put into the lowest category of human beings, the next category after you are animals. All success is from Allah Most High. O Shah Mardan, what wonderful advice you've given to us, may your rank be elevated. Let your gaze rest upon us. Pray for us to hold on to what you've let us hear. O

Es ist nicht wirklich eindeutig, wer was ist. Adab ya Hu! Bewahrt gutes Benehmen. Das ist genau das, was nötig ist. Die Menschen haben kein Benehmen. Die Jugendlichen besonders. Ihnen werden keine Manieren beigebracht. Und die Älteren haben ihre Manieren auch vergessen. Sie haben den Respekt verloren. Marhaba! Wir bitten um Erlaubnis. O Menschen Allahs, wir bitten um Unterstützung. O Sultan der Heiligen, wir bitten um Unterstützung. O Meister des geistigen Bereichs, Shah Mardan, wir bitten um Erlaubnis. Deine leidenschaftliche Liebe und Begeisterung sind ein Ozean, eine tiefe See. Wer ein Tropfen von dieser See nimmt, wird in dieser Welt blühen und die ewige Seligkeit des Paradieses im Jenseits finden. Willkommen in der Versammlung Shah Mardans. Ahh.. Ahh.. Ahh.. As-Salamu `alaykum. Entbieten wir Frie- densgrüße. Es ist das Zeichen der Gläubigen. Tiere haben keine Sprache. Sie sagen ihn nicht. Aber dem Menschen hat Allah der Höchste Sprache gegeben. Er machte ihn zu Seinem Vertreter auf Erden. Er gab ihm Sprache. As-Salamu `alaykum! Anwesende, an Shah Mardans reich gedecktem Tisch zu sitzen, Shah Mardans Tapferkeit zu beobachten, davon zu erfahren, einen Anteil von seinem Licht zu erbitten.. Wer einen Anteil von seinem Licht hat, nimmt kein Licht von anderen Wegen. Ein Mensch ohne Licht ist wie ein pechschwarzes Stück Kohle. Das einzige, wozu es gut ist, ist im Feuer zu verbrennen. Ursprünglich ist Kohle Holz. Unsere Schränke und Kommoden sind auch aus Holz. Aber Holz, das zu Kohle geworden ist, ist nur gut für's Feuer, während anderes Holz jedwedem Gebrauch dient. Das bedeutet, es gibt zwei Arten von Menschen. Hören wir Shah Mardan zu. O geliebte Brüder Shah Mardans, tretet ein in die Versammlung der geistigen Sultane. Willkommen. Sagen wir As-Salamu `alaykum! O geliebte Brüder Shah Mardans. Der Sultan des Bereichs der wahren Menschen ist Shah Mardan. Wie köstlich es ist, in

seiner Versammlung zu sitzen, teilzuhaben an seinen Heldentaten, seinen herrlichen Werken und redlichen Eigenschaften. Er ist erschienen, Shah Mardan. Ma sha' Allah. Bringt ihn her in unsere Versammlung! Bringt ihn her! Kommt, hören wir, was ihm zu sagen aufgetragen wird, was ihm zu erklären befohlen wird. Bei der Erwähnung des Eigners der Stadt des Wissens, des Oberhauptes der ganzen Schöpfung, des Stolzes des Universums, des Geliebten des Herrn aller Welten -Hu- stehe ich aus Respekt gerne auf. Ich würde es gern jedes Mal machen, wäre es nicht wegen meiner Schwäche.. Er bietet Schulung, lehrt die Wege des Guten an seinem Hof, Shah Mardan. Er wartet auf dem Übungsgelände. Nach den Morgengebeten, wenn ihr irgendwo bis zum Sonnenaufgang sitzen könnt, oder wenn ihr nicht so viel Zeit habt, sei es in einem Kaffeehaus, bei einem Heiligengrab, in einer Tekke oder Karawanserei, seid bereit! Schlaft nicht! Betrachtet die majestätische Größe eueres Herrn! Sie sollen euch die majestätische Größe des Erhabenen, des Höchsten lehren. Sagen wir Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Dank sei unserem barmherzigen Schutzherrn dafür, daß Er uns Seinen Erhabenen Namen nennen läßt. Es ist eine Ehre, die der Nation Muhammads (saws) gewährt wurde. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Es wurde einigen Propheten für eine redliche Tat gewährt, dann wurde es weggenommen. Der Prophet Ibrahim (as) sprach die Basmala und das Feuer ging aus. Der Prophet Sulayman (as) sprach die Basmala und der Thron der Bilkis, der Königin von Saba, erschien. Ihnen wurde der Gebrauch einmal gewährt in Momenten der Not. Aber unserem königlichen Gesandten, dem Geliebten Allahs des Höchsten, unserem glorreichen Führer Muhammad al-Mustafa (saws) -wir gehören zu seiner Nation- wurde die Basmala herabgesandt für uns und nicht wieder weggenommen danach. Sie wurde für den Propheten Nuh (as) gesandt, und er wurde gerettet. Sie wurde für den Propheten Sulayman (as) herabgesandt, und er brachte den Thron der Bilkis, der Königin von Saba. Sie wurde für den Propheten Ibrahim (as) herabgesandt, und er wurde vom Feuer Nimrods errettet. Sagt die Basmala, o Ignoranten, sagt "Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim". Um den Propheten Ibrahim (as) zu verbrennen, mobilisierte Nimrod die ganze Bevölkerung. Nicht ein Baum wurde in den Bergen belassen. 'Ich verbrennen ihn, koste es, was es wolle', sagte er bezüglich Ibrahims (as). Nach einem Bericht konnten die Flammen, die Nimrod in Ninive, seiner Residenz, entzündete, bis nach Damaskus gesehen werden. So ein gewaltiges Feuer war es. Wozu? Um den Propheten Ibrahim (as) zu verbrennen, jemanden, genannt Prophet Ibrahim

(as). Mit einem Zündholz hätte er ihn verbrennen können, mit einem Zeichen seines Herrn hätte ein einziges Zündholz gereicht, um einen Mann zu Asche zu verbrennen. Aber wegen der Größe von Ibrahims (as) Auftrag, wegen seines ehrfurchtgebietenden Charismas, mit dem er bekleidet war, sagte Nimrod: 'Er kann mit einem Zündholz verbrannt werden, aber seine Sache ist nicht mit einem Zündholz erledigt.' So groß war er. Wegen der Größe, die er in dem Propheten Ibrahim (as) sah, gab Nimrod seinen Befehl. Welche Bäume auch in den Bergen zu finden waren, ließ er abholzen. Er stapelte sie zu einem gewaltigen Berg von Holz auf. Die Flamme war von der Größe eines Berges. Das Licht der Flammen konnte bis nach Damaskus gesehen werden. Was sollte verbrannt werden? So viel wie ein Streichholz kann einen Menschen verbrennen. Aber das war nicht Nimrods einziges Ziel. Er wollte diesen gesegneten Menschen zusammen mit der Religion und dem wahren Glauben, den er gebracht hatte, verbrennen. Außer sich vor Wut, weil Ibrahim (as) die Götzen beschädigt und zerstört hatte, sagte Nimrod: 'Ich werde ihn im Feuer verbrennen.' Ja, ein Zündholz würde reichen, um einen Menschen zu verbrennen. Aber er nahm keins, er entzündete ein Feuer so groß wie ein Berg. Warum? Weil der Prophet Ibrahim (as) von ehrfurchtgebietender Erscheinung war. Ein Mensch ist nicht viel mehr als ein Finger, ein Zündholz wäre genug, ihn zu verbrennen, aber Nimrods Ziel war nicht nur, den physischen Körper des Propheten Ibrahim (as) zu verbrennen. Es war Ibrahims (as) Sendung, die er loswerden wollte. `Ala Nabiyyi `alayhi Salatu wa s-Salam. Es war der mächtige Ruf, an die Göttliche Einheit Allahs des Erhabenen zu glauben, und die Tatsache, daß er die Götzen zerstört hatte, die sie angebetet hatten, und damit den Anspruch ihrer Göttlichkeit ruiniert hatte, wofür Nimrod sich rächen wollte, so daß er sagte: 'Ich werde ihn verbrennen'. Manche Berichte sagen, sie sammeltn 6 Monate lang Holz, dann wurde das Feuer entzündet. Seine Flammen konnten bis nach Damaskus gesehen werden, in einer Reiseentfernung von 40 Tagen. Wahrlich, ein Mensch hat nur die Größe eines Fingers. Ein Ochse ist ungefähr 10x so groß. Ein Elefant kann das Gewicht von 100 Männern haben, aber er hat nicht denselben Wert. Das wahre Ziel war nicht, den Propheten Ibrahim (as) zu verbrennen. Der Prophet Ibrahim (as) hätte mit
