THE IMPORTANCE OF ALIGNING OUR WILL WITH THE WILL OF THE LORD
My Grandsheikh was speaking on a very important point concerning Satan: For what reason was he thrown out of the Divine Presence? Grandsheikh said that Satan was a complete servant of his Lord, worshiping and respecting Him without any disobedience for over two thousand years; but one time, only one time, he used his will against the Will of his Lord. Putting his will above his Lord's was not and could never be a correct action and was the sole reason for his banishment. When Allah created Adam, His Will was that everyone prostrate themselves in front of him as a sign of respect, and thus, He commanded all to do so. Everyone obeyed except Satan, who said, "No." The meaning of this was, "My will is above your will, I am not obeying your order." That refusal to submit made him fall into the darkness of banishment, and that is the beginning and the fountain of sins. Anyone of the Sons of Adam, says our Grandsheikh, who puts his will above the Will of Allah or that of the Prophet is secretly ascribing partners unto Allah (Shirk Khafy); it is not open, but hidden and thus very dangerous and a cause of deep trouble. Particularly in our time, everyone is catching and holding firmly to his own will, demanding that it prevail over all else. You may find only a very few people who will be in agreement with your will - the majority are holding firmly to their own. So how shall they agree with the Lord's Will or the Prophet's will if they cannot even bend to accept each other's? This is the fountain of sins;

this is why all Tariqats are teaching people how they may abandon their wills in front of a person: you may say, "This is my Sheikh - I left my will for his will so that it may be a first step towards my learning to be an obedient servant of Allah and of His Prophet, otherwise I can't even begin." . Now Satan and his armies are fighting against Sheikhs and Tariqats because Tariqats are teaching. People how to leave their wills in front of Allah and His Prophet. Tariqats are educators - when I am saying that he is my Sheikh in love of Allah Almighty and His Prophet, then I love him not for this world, but truly for Allah and His Prophet. We are speaking on the will of servants - an extremely important matter affecting our lives and our improvement in the Divine Presence. To use our willpower as we should means to make it accord with our Lord's desires - if we can bring ourselves to do that, we will be acceptable in the Divine Presence; if not, it means unhappiness for us, defeat and darkness - all of which descended upon Satan because he could not bring himself to do what his Lord desired of him - to bow down to Adam. Because of this, all the devotions and acts of worship he performed for two thousand years were rendered useless, and he was banished. Grandsheikh was stressing the importance of this point, as everything in every religion and faith is based upon it. If you can do your Lord's 'Will you may improve to the ranks of Prophets and Saints; you may approach the Divine Presence and find acceptance there; otherwise, you are secretly ascribing partners unto Allah, and you become stuck on this Earth like a plane that is tied down and can't take off. Whoever pays no attention to these subtle points is in danger of going the way of Saitan. This is the common base of all religions, because Allah Almighty has said through all of His Holy Prophets: "Oh My people, if you claim that you are servants, then put your desires in line with Mine, otherwise you are not servants." Allah Almighty said to the Children of Israel through the Prophet Jesus: "Testify that Jesus Christ is My Prophet unto you." They didn't like that, and so they fell. Allah said to them: "I am not in need of your worshiping, all I want from you is that you accord with My desires." Similarly. Allah said through His Prophet Muhammad: "Oh Christians, come and agree with Muhammad." They answered "No, we only like Jesus Christ, that is enough for us." He Almighty replied: "Your worshiping is unacceptable until your desires are alike unto Mine." Everyone wishes that his own desires be fulfilled - true or not? We must either serve as we like or as He likes. We must accept our Lord's Word about Jesus Christ, and the same is true for Moses and the other Prophets. Now Muslims are also running after so many desires and fleeing from the way of Muhammad, saying, "We

4429 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: ImportanceOfAligningOurWillWithTheLord
like this and that." As a result, their worship comes to naught. If you can understand this point, it will suffice you, as it is the first and most important lesson we can learn from the actions of Satan - are you not afraid that you will be like him? The Prophet's companions learned to obey the Lord through obeying His Prophet. They said: "Oh our Prophet, we have ransomed our mothers and fathers for you." They said this to him sincerely and with love; in this way they came to obey Allah through obeying Muhammad. Therefore, Allah ordered people to follow the inheritors of the Prophet and to hold to them as the companions (Sahaba) held to the Prophet, so that through them we may learn to obey the Lord. If this discipline of following those who are truly on the Prophet's way was not in Islam, there would be no more Islam. Islam is coming with discipline, strong discipline: no more are the people to go like this or like that, but to follow in the way of the Prophet. This is the meaning of the discipline of Islam. We must accept this or else we are cheating ourselves; we must keep discipline, as Allah Almighty orders in the Holy Qur'an: "And don't follow your vain desires as they will cause you to deviate from the way of Allah." Our Grandsheikh was saying about Adam that when Allah Almighty put him in Paradise and said to him: "Everything has been granted, enjoy every abundance except this fruit tree which you must not approach," Adam's ego was saying: "Oh my Lord, You don't want me to eat from it, but I want to eat." Because of his ego's desire being out of line with his Lord's desire, he was vulnerable to the suggestion of Satan; therefore, he had to go to Earth to learn manners and discipline, the sum of which is to say inside of ourselves, "As You like my Lord." If we can't say this in our innermost selves, it means that we are making our desire lord over our Guardian Lord Almighty. When Adam ate from that tree in Opposition to his Lord's Will, Allah took from him his paradise clothes and left him naked and ashamed in order to make him feel shame at what he had done. We must be very careful of attributing partners to Allah Almighty through our actions. If we can be careful of these fine points, then it is easy for us to receive Divine Lights in our hearts. The Prophet, Peace be upon Him, was saying about Abu Bakr, May Allah be pleased with Him, that he was one who 'died before he died.' From all the companions, why was it Abu Bakr who accomplished this? - Because he had absolutely left all his desires behind, so that there was nothing left of them in the face of his

Lord and his Prophet. He was as a dead person with no desire for this life. When he had arrived at this state, he was like a shadow for the Prophet, and you can't find a shadow that doesn't entirely agree with its original; to this absolute extent Abu Bakr never left the Prophet's way. Because of this attribute, Abu Bakr became trustworthy in all respects, and thus the Prophet was able to plant many knowledges in his heart. The Prophet knew that Abu Bakr would not do anything contrary to his wish or his liking. Therefore in spiritual rank, Abu Bakr was at the top of all the companions of the Prophet. Sayyidina Ali was also one of the Prophet's companions who never used his will or desires against the will of the Prophet or contrary to the Prophet's desires. He was one of two among all the Sahaba who had put his desires totally in line with the Prophet's desires. Therefore, Ali has been described by the Prophet as follows: "I am the City of Knowledge and Ali is the Gate to that City." My Grandsheikh was saying that because the Prophet was so pleased with Ali's following him like a shadow, one day he ordered Ali to look at him; when Ali looked at the Prophet, the Prophet showed him his real prophethood personality in the Divine Presence. No one may look at that personality until he reaches the station of Sayyidina Ali; what is that station? - It is the station of being a shadow in every action. Once the Son of Omar was going to Hijaz, traveling by camel. When he arrived at a certain point in the road he made a detour to the right, rode around in a circle and then returned to the road, continuing on his way. People asked him, "Oh Son of Omar, the road was going straight, so why did you go around in a circle?" He replied, "Oh people, I was once accompanying the Prophet on this road and when he came to that point he made a circle to the right, then he continued on straight; therefore I wanted to do as the Prophet had done." Look at how the companions were desiring and doing what the Prophet desired and did. If anyone can attain to that station, then the Prophet may show him his real prophet hood personality in the Divine Presence, for even now the Prophet is alive, but not in the same way that we are alive - he has real life in the Divine Presence. Both Abu Bakr and Ali reached their diving positions and took their holy trusts from the Prophet during this life. Others from among the Sahaba took their trusts only upon reaching the hereafter. Grandsheikh told me that one day Sayyidina Ali said to Sayyidina Omar, regarding the secret knowledge that had been opened up to him: "Oh Omar, if I would speak to you from the secret knowledges which have been opened up to us, you would instantly cut my head off with your sword; you wouldn't be able to let me get up

from my seat if I told you from the secrets of the Way, the creation, the religion, prophet hood and the secrets of Allah Almighty - you can't even listen." When the Prophet was taken to the Heavens on the Night Journey or Ascension (Miraj), the news of this miraculous journey spread among the Muslims. Omar, on hearing this - to him - incomprehensible news, ran to see the Prophet to find out for himself what this was all about. On the way to see the Prophet he ran into Abu Bakr and asked him: "What is your companion (Muhammad) saying, are you believing such a thing?" Abu Bakr, who had as of yet not met with the Prophet since the Miraj, said: "Oh Omar, what are you saying? If all of creation has been created for his sake, is it too much for him to ascend to the heavens or perform other miracles? Oh Omar, I believe he is capable of even greater miracles than this; he is so great, so respected in the Divine Presence that no one can know his real personality but his Lord." 01.03.1980

Importance Of Enduring Troubles
Our Grandshaykh was saying about trials: everyday they are coming afresh and the seeker must be ready and careful each time for that trying, that his faith may become real faith. Everyone may improve his station. For one still under his ego's rule, he will be tested by that which his ego will never like, from everything, family, friends, work and neighbours, may come to you what you don't like. The way of development is the way of patience. There is no quick development. One must be agreeable to all happenings to and around himself. That is the sign of development, to endure peoples' troubling you. It is not important to fly in the sky or to walk on the sea or to be seen in several places at once or to dream good dreams. lmportant in our way is to be patient, resisting every wave of evil like a mountain in a storm, not beiilg pushed back. That is development. Or like the ocean, not becoming dirty from the rivers pouring into it. People with extraordinary powers may fly, but may in the end lose their faith when Satan rushes to attack them. We must be able to endure every harm from everyone. Our Grandshaykh says, we must be awakened for everything coming contrary to our liking and be ready to tolerate it. This is the real station of faith. Three times a day at shaykh looks to his seekers, but not with a looking to give them pleasure, instead they are looking to send something to the seeker that he will never like. Are you patient, or giving up? When you are patient, your heart is given satisfaction, and a light comes on

your real eyes and more faith comes to you. At each opportunity you may advance or regress. This time is particularly filled up with unliked things, the world is full of evils and devils. The Prophet said, "to keep religion in this time is more difficult than to keep fire in one's hand." We must be patient. Allah gives to those enduring unliked things endless reward. It is the way of real faith, like the way of Prophets and of Saints, to endure the badness of people. 01.10.1979

Important is the reality, not an imitated figure like a statue
It is honour for me to address so many mental-house people. Important is the reality, not an imitated figure like a statue. It gives nothing to you. Man can make a figure, he can paint a rock and give it the figure of a man, of an animal, of a tree. That gives something to our sight, we may look to it and we may say: 'O such a beautiful painting.' But no more than that it gives to you. You may reach to that one only through your five senses. If you sit with your figures, they can't speak to you, they can't be able to give anthing to you. They don't give a satisfaction to you like a living man, a living animal, a living tree and fruits. Now we are asking protection from Allah Almighty and we say first: 'Audhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim' and 'Bismillahi-r-Rahmani-Rahim', to be under heavenly protection. Heavenly protection is like a shield that protects soldiers and fighters from swords, spears and bullets. And arrows come on a person everywhere, if he is getting out of his or her home; even in the home you can't find any place that arrows (will not) come on you, because of Shaitan.

Always the enemy of Allah and mankind, Shaitan, is asking to take believers to himself, that means especially Muslims, who surrendered to Allah. He is always trying to make them to be with him, from his way, and from his party. Everywhere such people are surrounded now. If it is a man, when he is appearing from his home, seven Shaitans are looking and following him, surrounding him from every direction, each one asking to put a hook on him and to take him. For women, there are seventy Shaitans, surrounding them. Therefore we are in need of that protection from Allah Almighty and we say: 'Audhu bi-llahi mins shaitani rajim'. It is Sunnah to say this when getting out of the home: 'Allahumma inni audhu bika mina Iblis wa junudih', O Allah, I am running to You from Iblis, Shaitan, and his soldiers', because Iblis is using soldiers from men and from jinn, to make belivers fall into his traps, and he is using countless tricks and agents, to carry him or her and to be with himself. This is what we are in need to know: Everywhere you can find Shaitan or his representatives, his soldiers and workers, the satanic agents. You must be awakened; if not, quickly they carry you. Now we are sitting here, a handful and unknown people, asking divine protection from Allah Almighty, and also, after that, a way how we can reach to His Divine Presence, how we can be able to give our most high respect to Him and His holy commands, and how we can be able to be much more obedient servants to Allah Almighty. We are asking here from Allah only to make us prepared for His holy commands, very high commands, that we may keep it, because man naturally and normally and people commonly run for their physical being's service. Everyone is servant for his ego, nafs, or even slave, not servant, because a servant has high honour, but slaves have no honour, and our ego makes us to be its slaves and to work for it, to do for it and t try to make it pleased.

If you ask youngsters what they are thinking, what is their idea for their future, all of them should say: 'I am studying or working and trying to reach a good life full with pleasure. That is my target through this life: to reach a happy life, to make for me a good life. To have everything and to make myself and my children to be in a happy, peaceful life, full with pleasure. I am trying for my pleasure.' Because if someone is working or studying, asking high school, high study- what is the benefit? First of all they are asking nonsense titles. Our time now is full with empty titles, nonsense titles, but people make big advertisement for those titles. Open the newspapers and magazines and you can find so much advertisement for universities, high schools, and academies, urging youngsters to go and to learn and to graduate, to reach one of those nonsense titles. Therefore they print a visit-card with the name and the title: doctor, professor, doctor professor, and some people put what never happened, to make themselves very important people. They put so many letters, even from different alphabets and no one knows. Empty titles! For what this? Only to make their egos to be happy, in contentment and satisfaction. That means, only for egoistic visions, egoistic aspects; people run to fulfil their egoistic wishes. No one is thinking about that we have been created to be servants of Allah. The people in all the universities and schools in East and West, non-Muslim and Muslim countries, are trying to reach something that makes themselves happy, or that makes their egos happy, they run to be proud, to make a show for their ego to say that he is such a VIP. People run to be proud with anything. With any means do people now ask to reach something. Even workers, who are not educated people, are fulfilling that secret wish, therefore they make syndicates, unions, asking through that union to reach from the lowest level to the highest and to be on power. Labour party. I am asking: 'How are

they coming to the parliament? With ax and shovel? Better; they must show that they are labours. Some must carry on their shoulder a bag, some must bring a saw or a hammer.' O Sheikh, they are MP's, you think this is a labour market? We must show that we are also able to rule countries. Now we are majority, you are minority, we are coming on power.' Two centuries ago Shaitan made everything upset, after the French revolution. From that time on it is a worst opening, which destroyed the balance through the community that was built on the old classification. Allah Almighty didn't create everyone with the same capacity. When you enter a field or a garden here, there are orange-trees and the walnut trees, which are growing taller. Should we say: 'No, there must be equality, we are not accepting walnuts to grow more; cut them down to be on same level with the lemon-trees'? That is mentality? It is satanic mentality, like socialism, communism- everything that has -ism. Such nonsense ideas giving to people, cheating them, and it is, as we are saying, demagogy, destroying, beginning with the 19th century and up today never ending. People yet run after and insist on such foolish ideas that people must be all the same, monotype, and they ask to make people monotype. This is in every country through their political ideas and ideologies; they urge and force people to accept it, never accepting anyone to get out. That is very dangerous. But man cannot be as they are asking him to be. How can their ideology of monotype be realized, how it could be a reality? It could be okay, if people were born from the beginning as Mongol-type- because Mongol-type people are all the same. Any difference between Arab, Turkish, or English Mongol-type children? Their official or political ideology only may work, if people going to be Mongol-type. But as long as we are created different in out looking, capacity, and ability of mind and

body, how can you force people to be like Mongol-type? We are not Mongol-type, but they are forcing people, saying: 'You must be like this.' Therefore they are first-class enemies of Islam, because Islam is saying: 'Don't force the servants of Allah Almighty, and give them their right according to their creation and capacity.' That is the balance which can't be changed. Every system now is trying to make man into a different model, asking to grind people and to make them same. Allah Almighty didn't create man like a factory is producing- so many of the same or similar things. No, each one in his existence is only one. You can't find two people similar in out looking or in their inner senses, inner buildings. The Prophet had informed: 'Should come so foolish people who should force people, and who are not looking to the holy Books, who refuse the Schariat, and use something to make people their servants, under their feet. They should be on power like Nimrods or Pharaos.' This is that time. They make people only to think about and run after empty titles. Last week the Ex-President of Turkey came to Cyprus for half a day, and he went to Famagusta to meet new students. He said: 'Is there anything you like to ask, and we can help you?' And all students made their hands up: 'Yes, we are asking only one question. We are coming into university, but after, when we graduate, there is no work for us. We are asking work. Only this is important for our life.' Governments are never interested in what is happening after university; they urge people to run and to learn and study in the universities, but after they say: 'We gave a diploma to you, finished. You look after yourself, for yourself.' And students say: 'First you urge us to study, and now you say there is no work? What we should do?' 'You begin, you must try to bring credits from out of Cyprus, from Turkey or Europe, to bring capital and make big companies to come here and build

factories to make employment for you. That is what we are thinking on to do, and you must look after it also, to make people to bring money and to build factories, so that the employment problem is going to be solved.' That is the cheating answer. Nasrudin Hoca took credit from a Jew and he used the money. That person was coming and going, asking his money. Sometimes Nasrudin Hoca was hiding, sometimes he was telling his wife to say to that man that Hoca went to look after his money, that if someone was paying his debts, he could give that money to him. And it is impossible to stand a state up on debts; it is not honour for a state to stand on debts; that never supports a state to be in existence. It must fall down. Once Nasrudin Hoca saw that person coming again. He told his wife: 'Leave him to come to me; I am prepared to make him happy.' And he said: 'Welcome to you!' But the man said: 'It is an unhappy day for me, because like so many times I am coming, asking my money.' 'Don't worry my brother, I prepared for you, so many days I am working at the main entrance of the field, putting a kind of plate with thorns. All the flocks that come that way scratch themselves on it, and I am collecting so much wool, and my wife is making the thread. I am making it quickly, because you are asking your

THE IMPORTANCE OF ALIGNING OUR WILL WITH THE WILL OF THE LORD
My Grandsheikh was speaking on a very important point concerning Satan: For what reason was he thrown out of the Divine Presence? Grandsheikh said that Satan was a complete servant of his Lord, worshiping and respecting Him without any disobedience for over two thousand years; but one time, only one time, he used his will against the Will of his Lord. Putting his will above his Lord's was not and could never be a correct action and was the sole reason for his banishment. When Allah created Adam, His Will was that everyone prostrate themselves in front of him as a sign of respect, and thus, He commanded all to do so. Everyone obeyed except Satan, who said, "No." The meaning of this was, "My will is above your will, I am not obeying your order." That refusal to submit made him fall into the darkness of banishment, and that is the beginning and the fountain of sins. Anyone of the Sons of Adam, says our Grandsheikh, who puts his will above the Will of Allah or that of the Prophet is secretly ascribing partners unto Allah (Shirk Khafy); it is not open, but hidden and thus very dangerous and a cause of deep trouble. Particularly in our time, everyone is catching and holding firmly to his own will, demanding that it prevail over all else. You may find only a very few people who will be in agreement with your will - the majority are holding firmly to their own. So how shall they agree with the Lord's Will or the Prophet's will if they cannot even bend to accept each other's? This is the fountain of sins;

this is why all Tariqats are teaching people how they may abandon their wills in front of a person: you may say, "This is my Sheikh - I left my will for his will so that it may be a first step towards my learning to be an obedient servant of Allah and of His Prophet, otherwise I can't even begin." . Now Satan and his armies are fighting against Sheikhs and Tariqats because Tariqats are teaching. People how to leave their wills in front of Allah and His Prophet. Tariqats are educators - when I am saying that he is my Sheikh in love of Allah Almighty and His Prophet, then I love him not for this world, but truly for Allah and His Prophet. We are speaking on the will of servants - an extremely important matter affecting our lives and our improvement in the Divine Presence. To use our willpower as we should means to make it accord with our Lord's desires - if we can bring ourselves to do that, we will be acceptable in the Divine Presence; if not, it means unhappiness for us, defeat and darkness - all of which descended upon Satan because he could not bring himself to do what his Lord desired of him - to bow down to Adam. Because of this, all the devotions and acts of worship he performed for two thousand years were rendered useless, and he was banished. Grandsheikh was stressing the importance of this point, as everything in every religion and faith is based upon it. If you can do your Lord's 'Will you may improve to the ranks of Prophets and Saints; you may approach the Divine Presence and find acceptance there; otherwise, you are secretly ascribing partners unto Allah, and you become stuck on this Earth like a plane that is tied down and can't take off. Whoever pays no attention to these subtle points is in danger of going the way of Saitan. This is the common base of all religions, because Allah Almighty has said through all of His Holy Prophets: "Oh My people, if you claim that you are servants, then put your desires in line with Mine, otherwise you are not servants." Allah Almighty said to the Children of Israel through the Prophet Jesus: "Testify that Jesus Christ is My Prophet unto you." They didn't like that, and so they fell. Allah said to them: "I am not in need of your worshiping, all I want from you is that you accord with My desires." Similarly. Allah said through His Prophet Muhammad: "Oh Christians, come and agree with Muhammad." They answered "No, we only like Jesus Christ, that is enough for us." He Almighty replied: "Your worshiping is unacceptable until your desires are alike unto Mine." Everyone wishes that his own desires be fulfilled - true or not? We must either serve as we like or as He likes. We must accept our Lord's Word about Jesus Christ, and the same is true for Moses and the other Prophets. Now Muslims are also running after so many desires and fleeing from the way of Muhammad, saying, "We

like this and that." As a result, their worship comes to naught. If you can understand this point, it will suffice you, as it is the first and most important lesson we can learn from the actions of Satan - are you not afraid that you will be like him? The Prophet's companions learned to obey the Lord through obeying His Prophet. They said: "Oh our Prophet, we have ransomed our mothers and fathers for you." They said this to him sincerely and with love; in this way they came to obey Allah through obeying Muhammad. Therefore, Allah ordered people to follow the inheritors of the Prophet and to hold to them as the companions (Sahaba) held to the Prophet, so that through them we may learn to obey the Lord. If this discipline of following those who are truly on the Prophet's way was not in Islam, there would be no more Islam. Islam is coming with discipline, strong discipline: no more are the people to go like this or like that, but to follow in the way of the Prophet. This is the meaning of the discipline of Islam. We must accept this or else we are cheating ourselves; we must keep discipline, as Allah Almighty orders in the Holy Qur'an: "And don't follow your vain desires as they will cause you to deviate from the way of Allah." Our Grandsheikh was saying about Adam that when Allah Almighty put him in Paradise and said to him: "Everything has been granted, enjoy every abundance except this fruit tree which you must not approach," Adam's ego was saying: "Oh my Lord, You don't want me to eat from it, but I want to eat." Because of his ego's desire being out of line with his Lord's desire, he was vulnerable to the suggestion of Satan; therefore, he had to go to Earth to learn manners and discipline, the sum of which is to say inside of ourselves, "As You like my Lord." If we can't say this in our innermost selves, it means that we are making our desire lord over our Guardian Lord Almighty. When Adam ate from that tree in Opposition to his Lord's Will, Allah took from him his paradise clothes and left him naked and ashamed in order to make him feel shame at what he had done. We must be very careful of attributing partners to Allah Almighty through our actions. If we can be careful of these fine points, then it is easy for us to receive Divine Lights in our hearts. The Prophet, Peace be upon Him, was saying about Abu Bakr, May Allah be pleased with Him, that he was one who 'died before he died.' From all the companions, why was it Abu Bakr who accomplished this? - Because he had absolutely left all his desires behind, so that there was nothing left of them in the face of his

Lord and his Prophet. He was as a dead person with no desire for this life. When he had arrived at this state, he was like a shadow for the Prophet, and you can't find a shadow that doesn't entirely agree with its original; to this absolute extent Abu Bakr never left the Prophet's way. Because of this attribute, Abu Bakr became trustworthy in all respects, and thus the Prophet was able to plant many knowledges in his heart. The Prophet knew that Abu Bakr would not do anything contrary to his wish or his liking. Therefore in spiritual rank, Abu Bakr was at the top of all the companions of the Prophet. Sayyidina Ali was also one of the Prophet's companions who never used his will or desires against the will of the Prophet or contrary to the Prophet's desires. He was one of two among all the Sahaba who had put his desires totally in line with the Prophet's desires. Therefore, Ali has been described by the Prophet as follows: "I am the City of Knowledge and Ali is the Gate to that City." My Grandsheikh was saying that because the Prophet was so pleased with Ali's following him like a shadow, one day he ordered Ali to look at him; when Ali looked at the Prophet, the Prophet showed him his real prophethood personality in the Divine Presence. No one may look at that personality until he reaches the station of Sayyidina Ali; what is that station? - It is the station of being a shadow in every action. Once the Son of Omar was going to Hijaz, traveling by camel. When he arrived at a certain point in the road he made a detour to the right, rode around in a circle and then returned to the road, continuing on his way. People asked him, "Oh Son of Omar, the road was going straight, so why did you go around in a circle?" He replied, "Oh people, I was once accompanying the Prophet on this road and when he came to that point he made a circle to the right, then he continued on straight; therefore I wanted to do as the Prophet had done." Look at how the companions were desiring and doing what the Prophet desired and did. If anyone can attain to that station, then the Prophet may show him his real prophet hood personality in the Divine Presence, for even now the Prophet is alive, but not in the same way that we are alive - he has real life in the Divine Presence. Both Abu Bakr and Ali reached their diving positions and took their holy trusts from the Prophet during this life. Others from among the Sahaba took their trusts only upon reaching the hereafter. Grandsheikh told me that one day Sayyidina Ali said to Sayyidina Omar, regarding the secret knowledge that had been opened up to him: "Oh Omar, if I would speak to you from the secret knowledges which have been opened up to us, you would instantly cut my head off with your sword; you wouldn't be able to let me get up

from my seat if I told you from the secrets of the Way, the creation, the religion, prophet hood and the secrets of Allah Almighty - you can't even listen." When the Prophet was taken to the Heavens on the Night Journey or Ascension (Miraj), the news of this miraculous journey spread among the Muslims. Omar, on hearing this - to him - incomprehensible news, ran to see the Prophet to find out for himself what this was all about. On the way to see the Prophet he ran into Abu Bakr and asked him: "What is your companion (Muhammad) saying, are you believing such a thing?" Abu Bakr, who had as of yet not met with the Prophet since the Miraj, said: "Oh Omar, what are you saying? If all of creation has been created for his sake, is it too much for him to ascend to the heavens or perform other miracles? Oh Omar, I believe he is capable of even greater miracles than this; he is so great, so respected in the Divine Presence that no one can know his real personality but his Lord." 01.03.1980

Importance Of Enduring Troubles
Our Grandshaykh was saying about trials: everyday they are coming afresh and the seeker must be ready and careful each time for that trying, that his faith may become real faith. Everyone may improve his station. For one still under his ego's rule, he will be tested by that which his ego will never like, from everything, family, friends, work and neighbours, may come to you what you don't like. The way of development is the way of patience. There is no quick development. One must be agreeable to all happenings to and around himself. That is the sign of development, to endure peoples' troubling you. It is not important to fly in the sky or to walk on the sea or to be seen in several places at once or to dream good dreams. lmportant in our way is to be patient, resisting every wave of evil like a mountain in a storm, not beiilg pushed back. That is development. Or like the ocean, not becoming dirty from the rivers pouring into it. People with extraordinary powers may fly, but may in the end lose their faith when Satan rushes to attack them. We must be able to endure every harm from everyone. Our Grandshaykh says, we must be awakened for everything coming contrary to our liking and be ready to tolerate it. This is the real station of faith. Three times a day at shaykh looks to his seekers, but not with a looking to give them pleasure, instead they are looking to send something to the seeker that he will never like. Are you patient, or giving up? When you are patient, your heart is given satisfaction, and a light comes on

your real eyes and more faith comes to you. At each opportunity you may advance or regress. This time is particularly filled up with unliked things, the world is full of evils and devils. The Prophet said, "to keep religion in this time is more difficult than to keep fire in one's hand." We must be patient. Allah gives to those enduring unliked things endless reward. It is the way of real faith, like the way of Prophets and of Saints, to endure the badness of people. 01.10.1979

Important is the reality, not an imitated figure like a statue
It is honour for me to address so many mental-house people. Important is the reality, not an imitated figure like a statue. It gives nothing to you. Man can make a figure, he can paint a rock and give it the figure of a man, of an animal, of a tree. That gives something to our sight, we may look to it and we may say: 'O such a beautiful painting.' But no more than that it gives to you. You may reach to that one only through your five senses. If you sit with your figures, they can't speak to you, they can't be able to give anthing to you. They don't give a satisfaction to you like a living man, a living animal, a living tree and fruits. Now we are asking protection from Allah Almighty and we say first: 'Audhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim' and 'Bismillahi-r-Rahmani-Rahim', to be under heavenly protection. Heavenly protection is like a shield that protects soldiers and fighters from swords, spears and bullets. And arrows come on a person everywhere, if he is getting out of his or her home; even in the home you can't find any place that arrows (will not) come on you, because of Shaitan.

Always the enemy of Allah and mankind, Shaitan, is asking to take believers to himself, that means especially Muslims, who surrendered to Allah. He is always trying to make them to be with him, from his way, and from his party. Everywhere such people are surrounded now. If it is a man, when he is appearing from his home, seven Shaitans are looking and following him, surrounding him from every direction, each one asking to put a hook on him and to take him. For women, there are seventy Shaitans, surrounding them. Therefore we are in need of that protection from Allah Almighty and we say: 'Audhu bi-llahi mins shaitani rajim'. It is Sunnah to say this when getting out of the home: 'Allahumma inni audhu bika mina Iblis wa junudih', O Allah, I am running to You from Iblis, Shaitan, and his soldiers', because Iblis is using soldiers from men and from jinn, to make belivers fall into his traps, and he is using countless tricks and agents, to carry him or her and to be with himself. This is what we are in need to know: Everywhere you can find Shaitan or his representatives, his soldiers and workers, the satanic agents. You must be awakened; if not, quickly they carry you. Now we are sitting here, a handful and unknown people, asking divine protection from Allah Almighty, and also, after that, a way how we can reach to His Divine Presence, how we can be able to give our most high respect to Him and His holy commands, and how we can be able to be much more obedient servants to Allah Almighty. We are asking here from Allah only to make us prepared for His holy commands, very high commands, that we may keep it, because man naturally and normally and people commonly run for their physical being's service. Everyone is servant for his ego, nafs, or even slave, not servant, because a servant has high honour, but slaves have no honour, and our ego makes us to be its slaves and to work for it, to do for it and t try to make it pleased.

4436 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: ImportantIsTheReality
If you ask youngsters what they are thinking, what is their idea for their future, all of them should say: 'I am studying or working and trying to reach a good life full with pleasure. That is my target through this life: to reach a happy life, to make for me a good life. To have everything and to make myself and my children to be in a happy, peaceful life, full with pleasure. I am trying for my pleasure.' Because if someone is working or studying, asking high school, high study- what is the benefit? First of all they are asking nonsense titles. Our time now is full with empty titles, nonsense titles, but people make big advertisement for those titles. Open the newspapers and magazines and you can find so much advertisement for universities, high schools, and academies, urging youngsters to go and to learn and to graduate, to reach one of those nonsense titles. Therefore they print a visit-card with the name and the title: doctor, professor, doctor professor, and some people put what never happened, to make themselves very important people. They put so many letters, even from different alphabets and no one knows. Empty titles! For what this? Only to make their egos to be happy, in contentment and satisfaction. That means, only for egoistic visions, egoistic aspects; people run to fulfil their egoistic wishes. No one is thinking about that we have been created to be servants of Allah. The people in all the universities and schools in East and West, non-Muslim and Muslim countries, are trying to reach something that makes themselves happy, or that makes their egos happy, they run to be proud, to make a show for their ego to say that he is such a VIP. People run to be proud with anything. With any means do people now ask to reach something. Even workers, who are not educated people, are fulfilling that secret wish, therefore they make syndicates, unions, asking through that union to reach from the lowest level to the highest and to be on power. Labour party. I am asking: 'How are

they coming to the parliament? With ax and shovel? Better; they must show that they are labours. Some must carry on their shoulder a bag, some must bring a saw or a hammer.' O Sheikh, they are MP's, you think this is a labour market? We must show that we are also able to rule countries. Now we are majority, you are minority, we are coming on power.' Two centuries ago Shaitan made everything upset, after the French revolution. From that time on it is a worst opening, which destroyed the balance through the community that was built on the old classification. Allah Almighty didn't create everyone with the same capacity. When you enter a field or a garden here, there are orange-trees and the walnut trees, which are growing taller. Should we say: 'No, there must be equality, we are not accepting walnuts to grow more; cut them down to be on same level with the lemon-trees'? That is mentality? It is satanic mentality, like socialism, communism- everything that has -ism. Such nonsense ideas giving to people, cheating them, and it is, as we are saying, demagogy, destroying, beginning with the 19th century and up today never ending. People yet run after and insist on such foolish ideas that people must be all the same, monotype, and they ask to make people monotype. This is in every country through their political ideas and ideologies; they urge and force people to accept it, never accepting anyone to get out. That is very dangerous. But man cannot be as they are asking him to be. How can their ideology of monotype be realized, how it could be a reality? It could be okay, if people were born from the beginning as Mongol-type- because Mongol-type people are all the same. Any difference between Arab, Turkish, or English Mongol-type children? Their official or political ideology only may work, if people going to be Mongol-type. But as long as we are created different in out looking, capacity, and ability of mind and

body, how can you force people to be like Mongol-type? We are not Mongol-type, but they are forcing people, saying: 'You must be like this.' Therefore they are first-class enemies of Islam, because Islam is saying: 'Don't force the servants of Allah Almighty, and give them their right according to their creation and capacity.' That is the balance which can't be changed. Every system now is trying to make man into a different model, asking to grind people and to make them same. Allah Almighty didn't create man like a factory is producing- so many of the same or similar things. No, each one in his existence is only one. You can't find two people similar in out looking or in their inner senses, inner buildings. The Prophet had informed: 'Should come so foolish people who should force people, and who are not looking to the holy Books, who refuse the Schariat, and use something to make people their servants, under their feet. They should be on power like Nimrods or Pharaos.' This is that time. They make people only to think about and run after empty titles. Last week the Ex-President of Turkey came to Cyprus for half a day, and he went to Famagusta to meet new students. He said: 'Is there anything you like to ask, and we can help you?' And all students made their hands up: 'Yes, we are asking only one question. We are coming into university, but after, when we graduate, there is no work for us. We are asking work. Only this is important for our life.' Governments are never interested in what is happening after university; they urge people to run and to learn and study in the universities, but after they say: 'We gave a diploma to you, finished. You look after yourself, for yourself.' And students say: 'First you urge us to study, and now you say there is no work? What we should do?' 'You begin, you must try to bring credits from out of Cyprus, from Turkey or Europe, to bring capital and make big companies to come here and build

factories to make employment for you. That is what we are thinking on to do, and you must look after it also, to make people to bring money and to build factories, so that the employment problem is going to be solved.' That is the cheating answer. Nasrudin Hoca took credit from a Jew and he used the money. That person was coming and going, asking his money. Sometimes Nasrudin Hoca was hiding, sometimes he was telling his wife to say to that man that Hoca went to look after his money, that if someone was paying his debts, he could give that money to him. And it is impossible to stand a state up on debts; it is not honour for a state to stand on debts; that never supports a state to be in existence. It must fall down. Once Nasrudin Hoca saw that person coming again. He told his wife: 'Leave him to come to me; I am prepared to make him happy.' And he said: 'Welcome to you!' But the man said: 'It is an unhappy day for me, because like so many times I am coming, asking my money.' 'Don't worry my brother, I prepared for you, so many days I am working at the main entrance of the field, putting a kind of plate with thorns. All the flocks that come that way scratch themselves on it, and I am collecting so much wool, and my wife is making the thread. I am making it quickly, because you are asking your
