mirror! If not, you can’t recognize yourself. You may think that you (have been) are in a place never finding there any mirror. And someone is making a photograph from you and bringing it to you, showing (and saying): “You know this one?” “No…” If no mirror, you can’t see yourself and this mirror can catch only your outlooking, but your inner spiritual being can’t be seen through these mirrors. It needs mirror that have been granted divinely lights through themselves and they may show you. Or for example if you are here in a dark room, you can’t see yourself nor anything (else). If a person is coming with his lights, he may show you everything around yourself, then he may show to you: Look, you recognize who is this one?” You say: ”Who is that one? I don’t know…” Long way… 7.Can the love between a man and a woman help achieve the divine Love? Must be. Look, Allah Almighty making two kinds from man: Man and woman; just created to complete each other. Men represent the perfection, divinely perfection and power of Allah Almighty, Kemal Tajalli. Women have been granted from Jamalu-llah, from His endless Beauty Oceans. Kemal and Jamal, perfection and beauty, if not coming together, (they are) not in perfection. When coming and joining each other, coming perfection. But people are not understanding and think that men on their ways, another kind of creature?????? And women, so many no mind women say: “Why we are created women?” Perfection and power for men, they are representing (that). Beauty and latafat, gentleness for women. If not coming together, not coming a perfect creature. Women through men going to be Fana, finishing. How beauty coming and entering in reality????of perfection of man, and then reality????of perfection of man coming and entering through the beauty and gentleness of women. When coming, a new appearance that each of them

going to reach top of pleasure. Man without woman… S.Adam a.s. was created first and he was in Paradise, running around, but no satisfaction or contentment for him, as if asking something. Whole Paradise and its beauty was not giving to him a contentment and pleasure. He was asking something else. Then the unit of time of the blinking of his eye was enough- so short time, no one can know except Allah Almighty- and he was looking in front of him a beauty sitting, that representing beauty from beauty oceans of the Lord Allah Almighty. And he was saying: ”Come!” “No”, she was saying. S.Adam calling her… ”No, you come…” she was saying. And finally he went… Therefore it is not true for women to go after men, but men- it is their structure, they must go to ask women to reach to them. But not women! Nowadays everything is mixed up… Your value is so high! S.Adam was looking and calling… refusing…. then he was going… These are all heavy subjects, but they make them so light for your understanding level… If going up a little bit, no one can understand… countless levels… 8. Advice for women. Advice for women? Don’t run after men! Enough that they give to you your real value. Don’t make your value down, under the feet of these foolish men. You are precious more than rubies and emeralds, pearls and diamonds… But now these shaitan’s representatives in all countries use women as a black stone under their feet. I am not accepting! Keep your honour! Difference? You can’t ask how. If you need cleanliness, Allah Almighty is preparing the ways of cleanliness for men and women… If man was higher it was going to be seen when S.Adam was saying: “Come here” and she was saying: “No, you come!” Means: their level up, higher. Prophets from men, enough. But women may learn and improve and develop themselves over common level of mankind. Prophecy is something else. Beauty needs protection and perfection protecting beauty. Therefore you can’t (be prophets). Pearl through shell, not outside. If outside, finished, no value. You are like diamonds, pearls. If putting outside to clean roads, to come ????? to be ?????? or judge, no value for you, no! What Allah Almighty granted to you from high value, you are making it under your feet when you are working outside. You are pearls through homes, not outside. Divorce - darkness of this life ???? Kelam, holy command of Islam, Allah Almighty saying: ”When you marry, it is for all life here and Hereafter.” But after a while making against, saying: Divorce. They are liars, shaitans,

Interview with Chilean Miners
(Spanish translation to English is by Shaykh Abdul Metin of Argentina, who is accompanying the miners. He was ordered to deliver Mawlana Shaykh's package to them when they were trapped in the mine.) Buon bonito (good, nice ones), sit down buon bonito! SubhaanAllah alhamdulillah wa la ilaaha illa-Llah w'Allahu Akbar wa la hawla wa la quwatta illa billahi 'l-`Aliyyu 'l-`Azheem. Omar and Dario (two Chilean miners), I hope those people who were imprisoned 700 feet underground--and it is a miraculous happening to make people think about spirituality and miracles--as an ordinary position, if all technology came together, it could never save them! One night I was informed about their terrible situation, and that night I prayed for those people to be saved. Throughout the east and west there are 313 miraculous people. I called on one of them to look after them, and he ordered me to send items to them. (Mawlana Shaykh turns to the translator.) Perhaps you took my message, for them to recite, "laa ilaaha illa-Llah," and also if it was possible, to take to them our "triangle" (taweez.), and all blessings are from our Lord, Almighty Allah. (Mawlana Shaykh stands) All glory and majesty is for Allah Almighty, and also for His most honored and glorified deputy, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) Help came from an unknown direction and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven people just entered that place, and they did not see them, but they saw the trapped miners, who were taken

up on the date that was written on the Preserved Tablets, and it all transpired in such a way. Those miners observed a very, very weak miracle, an ordinary miracle, that the mountain was taken away in a moment but others could not carry it, even the whole world's people could not carry it! Therefore, slowly, slowly, they were given what they were in need of until that period was complete. SubhaanAllah, two miners have come here and we are looking at them, and those people I was following here also got out. If it was not a holy one who used that (drilling.) machine, it would have come on their heads! It is so difficult, but one holy one was in that area and took it up, or else the rescue would have been impossible! The Lord of Heavens makes the impossible become possible through the weakest holy one. Now I am happy to see them here, that it is their good chance to come here, also to look at them and to see them. Behind our guests there is coming an opening for spirituality in that area. As much as North America becomes materialistic, those people are going to be more spiritual and power will be given to them. Yes, it is now good. I hope that they will reach to Mahdi (a) and also Jesus Christ (a), and mostly those people are coming to Islam! (Mawlana Shaykh gives money to the miners.) It is a little amount but I hope to reach to them every month. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. Inshaa-Allah, you may reach me through my son, and you may ask him and what is coming to me of more charity, I am sending; I am not leaving them. I don't like you to work once again on that (in the mine), no. He may stand in a fleamarket by himself and it is enough, but monthly inshaa- Allah what is coming to me, I am sending inshaa-Allah. Translator: (Translator gives Mawlana Shaykh a Chilean flag signed by the 33 miners.) They signed it inside the mine and it is a gift from all of them to you. (The miners gave coal and mineral as a gift as well as an embroidered cloth and a rosary from one of the miner's family.) They are saying this is nothing, in return for all the prayers and all you did for them. Mawlana Shaykh: Our reward is coming from Heavens. We are weak workers, weak servants. (Mawlana Shaykh gives several tasbihs for the children of the miners.) (The daughter of one miner sits at Mawlana Shaykh's feet, weeping. Last summer she took shahadah with Naqshbandi mureeds in Santiago, Chile, and she was able to get Mawlana Shaykh's package to the miners.)

Translator: In May, she lost her son in the sea. Mawlana Shaykh: Inshaa-Allah, he will come when Jesus comes down. Don't worry, we may bring inshaa- Allah. Fatihah. (Chileans take baya`.) Mawlana Shaykh: Happy days to you, here and Hereafter. Pray, pray, pray for me. Shukr, yaa Rabbee. Translator: May Allah bless you. (Mawlana Shaykh hugs the miners.) Mashaa-Allah. Mashaa-Allah. (They are) lions! Send my salaams! Inshaa-Allah thousands and thousands, ten thousand, one-hundred thousand will be coming to Damascus on the sea! Translator: He is saying they are very grateful for this invitation. They are honored and they will tell all the other miners about their experience here. Mawlana Shaykh: Send my regards and salaams to all the other miners, and (tell them) if possible, I don't like them to work under the Earth. A small amount of work is better on the Earth. Yes, and they are like my children. Inshaa-Allah, I hope that I can reach them monthly. Don't go down (in the mines), there is no need. Translator: They are honored for what you are saying. Mawlana Shaykh: Allah is enough for us. Work outside, don't go down. The second time, we are not carrying the responsibility! (laughter) As-salaamu `alaykum. I shall send to them money to make a dergah and they may have goats. Goats and planting crops is enough for them. I shall send to you money to buy one-thousand goats, and in the second year there will be ten thousand! Translator: He was a shepherd of seven hundred goats when he was a child. Mawlana Shaykh: Ah! Therefore, I am saying this. He was looking after seven hundred? Translator: With his grandfather.

An Interview with the German Magazine 'Focus': Atheism is a Cover-Up of Reality
Sheik Nazim, you often speak of the return of the Caliphs. Which governing system are you referring to? The Sharia refers to a government according to the system offered to us in the Holy Quran. The Ottoman Empire ruled for 700 years with those rules. The new Turkey abolished them and are now governing in the worst fashion. It was the biggest mistake to remove the Caliph. Do you think that the system of Caliphs will come back? I hope it will come back at the beginning of the 21st century. That is necessary. Within the system of the Sharia what is the difference of a 'shura' and of the democratic system which we have here in Germany for example? In Islam the sultan appoints people to be part of the shura. These are specialists, not just simple people from the market who appear to take over the government, the way happens in democracies. The shura of Islam is a system from up to down, not from down to up, like in democracies. In which way do westerners have to change their life when they join a tariqat?

4574 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: InterviewWithFocus
Before becoming a Muslim most people lead an uncontrolled life. They now find that discipline is part of their life. It gives them more peace and more honour. They prefer to be able to follow an order to be able to control their desires. They see the advantage and that is why they stay. Otherwise they would leave one by one. There are many westerners who are interested in other cultures... Any culture which does not give us a control of our ego is useless. But wouldn't it be better to keep the heritage of your own tradition? When it comes to buying fruit you also go and get the best fruits in the market, no matter where they come from. Why shouldn't you want the best quality for your spiritual life as well? Do you think that life in a pub is the best choice? The Naqshbandis are famous for their silent Zikr, but last night I heard you making quite a loud one in the Gastei? Sometimes we sing because it is easier heard. When the singing stops and every movement stops you will be with your Lord. Silence is the basic rule of the whole creation. Just like darkness is the original base. Light can take it away for a while, but finally it will be dark. Just like peace is the foundation, but enmity can cover it up temporarily. In the same way religion is the base, atheism a cover-up of this reality. 01.01.1996

QUESTIONS BY JOURNALISTS
Q: Is it true that Islam is a religion of fundamentalism and that Muslims do not like to have a dialogue with other religions? I am sorry to say that since 1500 years people do not understand Islam. Because they do not look to the real sources of Islam. People are not looking at the original Islam, they are only looking at the living Muslims and judging from there. Do you think that Christians are living real Christianity? In the same way, very few people today are living the real Islam. People do not follow the real Islam, they follow politicians who with their whole being contradict Islam. No religion came to fight in this world. They came to make peace amongst people. Q: So why is this wrong way of religion so widespread nowadays? Because of the Europeans! They made us to follow them. When we started to follow Western countries, we became like them. They are our teachers. Go to Turkey or to Egypt or to Morocco and look! We cannot prevent this current. It is like winter covering the whole world. All nations are on the same road. Christians, Muslims, Jews ... most of them are leading the same kind of lives, because you can very rarely find real Christians. I attended the meeting with the Pope on Thursday (Nov 3rd, 1994 at the opening of the 6th WCRP

at Vatican) and I saw that in front of the Pope the Christian ladies were sitting with uncovered heads and their dresses are also not traditional Christian dresses. Why? Where is the real Christianity today? They should be ashamed to come like that in front of the Holy Pope as if they were attending a fashion show. I never saw women like that in the Holy Bible, the women surrounding Jesus looked more like nuns. That is the real Christian dressing. In our countries it is the same, our Muslim women prefer to follow the new fashion. Our fashion is created by the Jews, so where is the real Judaism, real Christianity or real Islam? Q: So do you think that the outside appearance is more important than the condition of the heart? We are not Prophets, so we cannot look at what is going on inside, but we see the outside and it does not make me happy. I thought that at least people would try to dress decently in the Vatican, so that Christianity would be respected. But no! Q: Why can men and women not pray together in the mosque? Why should they? The mosque is not a discotheque, so you cannot do such things there. Religious matters are serious, you cannot mix it. In real Christianity there is also no such thing as men and women praying together. They know that the monasteries are for monks and the convents for nuns. So why are they not mixed? For the same reason we, in Islam do not mix men and women in prayer. When we do that, we follow Heavenly Orders, because the Lord knows more than we do. In the discotheques you may do it!

INTERVIEW with THE INDEPENDENT TV CHICAGO
What are your beliefs? We believe in one God, just like all other Heavenly Religions. We also believe in the Holy Books, in all of them. We do not add or subtract anything, but whatever Message the Lord sent we accept. So we accept the Old Testament, the Thora, the New Testament, the Bible, and the Psalms which were sent to David. But we also believe in the Last Prophet, Sayyidina Muhammad and his Holy Book, the Sacred Quran. We also believe in all Prophets without making any exceptions, starting from Adam until Muhammad, may peace be with all of them. This includes Sayyidina Musa and Sayyidina Isa, Jesus Christ. Then we believe in the Last Day, the Day of Resurrection, which means that we believe that mankind has responsibility. We believe that people will be asked and will be responsible for every action during their life. That is what we believe in. I think that the pillars of Christianity and Judaism are the same, because all of them are Heavenly Religions. There are just a few points which the Lord of Heavens has changed according to the different understanding of people in their time. These are only a few changes of practices. Worshipping in general means that we give our high respect to our Lord, that we are thankful to Him and that we praise Him. Those are our beliefs and practises. We also believe that the way of whoever comes to this life will turn back to Heavens. Because of our traditional knowledge we believe, just like the Christians believe

4578 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: InterviewWithTheIndependetTVChicago
and the Jews believe, that our souls are Heavenly Beings. That is why our souls always long for their homeland. Some are so occupied with the enjoyments and pleasures of this world that they forget their target to get back to Heavens. Our mission, like the mission of all Prophets and all Saints, is to direct the desires of the people towards Heavens. This is also the mission which I have within these mystic ways, the most distinguished Naqshbandi Order. Which is the form of meditation that you teach? Meditation you find within all religions, but it is not a method for common people, because common people are like children in the kindergarden. They cannot concentrate on anything. But when they reach university or academy level they start to think. That is why we don't offer meditation to everyone. Meditation is the top level. Whoever reaches such a level can sit without even breathing. They can look, see, hear, understand, taste and know. That is then real meditation. It is not something where everyone can sit here and pretend to meditation. That would then be imitation. Do you think that meditation and prayer can play a role in bringing world peace? The message of meditation is to get people to look towards Heavens. As long as people are stuck to this world, they will fight. If I sit at night and look towards the sky and tell someone that all the stars there belong to me, no-one will oppose. But if I just claim that one tree here belongs to me, then at least 100 people will come and fight against it. In the same way, as long as people are only concentrating on this life, they will quarrel endlessly. But if their eyes start to turn towards Heavenly Stations, they will feel the peace within themselves. That peace will come through the heart and then there will be peace. Even if a meeting is organised by governments or Kings and very big, if there is no peace in the hearts of the participants, it will never bring peace. Peace must first come to our hearts. I do not discuss with the participants of this conference here, because that would go against human rights. But human rights can also not be fulfilled if people do not have peace in their hearts. How can we achieve this? I always advise everyone to follow a good-one. They are in peace because they are with their Lord. If someone is with their Lord, they will be in confidence, peace and satisfaction. If he isn't, then don't follow him. People

are fed up with wars and fights. Religious peple have more responsibility than others to establish peace on earth. But most of them are using a fruitless method. They should try to bring peace in the hearts of people. If they do not do this then conferences, meetings and commissions will result in nothing. That is why I advise holy people too not to waste time with such conferences, but to try to bring peace to people. But you cannot bring peace to people if you don't have any yourself. And as far as I can see, no-one here has peace within themselves, so how do they want to pass it on? Italy - 01.11.1994

May we glorify our Creator. Assalamu Alaikum O beloved friends of Shah Mardan. The friends of the lion of Allah(jj) Marhaba. Marhaba. Marhaba. How beautiful! Oh Our Lord may You dress us in the robe of beauty! You dressed us with nobility and beauty and the robe of honor. May we keep and preserve the honor with which we have been dressed. Please Shah Mardan go on - the arena is yours. Let's say Bismillahir rahmanir rahim. The robe of Honor, Basmala Shariff, gives honor to humanity, and dresses them with spiritual beauty - Bismillahir rahmanir rahim. May we say it! He Who can give strength to weak ones, honor to low ones, who can make poor ones wealthy, Rabbul Izzah. May we praise our Lord, Janabul Haqq. Say: Bismillahir rahmanir rahim. Oh Shah Mardan! Your station is beyond the limitations of our imagination. Allah DhulJalal distinguished Shah Mardan, with special features. He was created with majesty. He has been dressed with majesty, honor and Adab. Beyond this, he has been granted Divine Knowledge. Please go on Shah Mardan. May you gaze on us and give us strength. We are weak and we ask for strength. In order to perform servanthood to our Lord, we want strength. We want Shah Mardan to teach us servanthood. We want his friends too. The friends of Shah Mardan can teach us the ways that lead to our Lord. The beginning of this path starts with our Holy Prophet(sws) who is the Pride of the universe. Without following our Prophet(sws), you cannot reach your goal - remain below when the level of the human being is meant to ascend. Humans are not created for this world. Animals are created for this world. Animals are looking at ground. No animal is looking up like this, but humans do. Humans look upwards.

Those ignorant ones who are looking downwards, they are unconscious. They are like animals. Those who are staring upwards, they are spiritual ones. The glory of angels are close to them. They receive the honor coming from the heavens, by looking up. Who is looking down like this - category of animals. Those who are staring at the sky are distinguished, honorable humans who are endowed with grace by the Lord. Humans look upwards. Animals look downwards. O people, so then, O Shah Mardan the realm is yours. As we say Bismillahir rahmanir rahim Our gaze turns to the heavens immediately. The moment we say Bismillahir rahmanir rahim, we turn our gaze towards the skies/heavens. We exit the animal's category. The robe of honor meant for human beings is for the skies and heavens. You can't ascend without being dressed with it. Without being dressed with the robe of honor, no one can be elevated towards heavens. Please go on Shah Mardan! Animals can't ascend to the heavens. Animals are looking downwards. They think about food. Their worries are either bones or hay. No other worries. However, human beings are not created to eat bones or hay. Tell them oh Shah Mardan. These facts/realities are being taught in Islam. Islam. All prophets, "Wa kana Ibrahima musliman". "Prophet Abraham was a muslim", it says. Muslim! Allah Allah! Prophet Abraham was Muslim. All prophets from his lineage were Muslims. Noah(as) was Muslim. Hud(as) was Muslim. The lineage of Prophet Abraham(as), since the Prophet Adam(as), are all Muslims

Interview with Chilean Miners
(Spanish translation to English is by Shaykh Abdul Metin of Argentina, who is accompanying the miners. He was ordered to deliver Mawlana Shaykh's package to them when they were trapped in the mine.) Buon bonito (good, nice ones), sit down buon bonito! SubhaanAllah alhamdulillah wa la ilaaha illa-Llah w'Allahu Akbar wa la hawla wa la quwatta illa billahi 'l-`Aliyyu 'l-`Azheem. Omar and Dario (two Chilean miners), I hope those people who were imprisoned 700 feet underground--and it is a miraculous happening to make people think about spirituality and miracles--as an ordinary position, if all technology came together, it could never save them! One night I was informed about their terrible situation, and that night I prayed for those people to be saved. Throughout the east and west there are 313 miraculous people. I called on one of them to look after them, and he ordered me to send items to them. (Mawlana Shaykh turns to the translator.) Perhaps you took my message, for them to recite, "laa ilaaha illa-Llah," and also if it was possible, to take to them our "triangle" (taweez.), and all blessings are from our Lord, Almighty Allah. (Mawlana Shaykh stands) All glory and majesty is for Allah Almighty, and also for His most honored and glorified deputy, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh sits.) Help came from an unknown direction and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven people just entered that place, and they did not see them, but they saw the trapped miners, who were taken

up on the date that was written on the Preserved Tablets, and it all transpired in such a way. Those miners observed a very, very weak miracle, an ordinary miracle, that the mountain was taken away in a moment but others could not carry it, even the whole world's people could not carry it! Therefore, slowly, slowly, they were given what they were in need of until that period was complete. SubhaanAllah, two miners have come here and we are looking at them, and those people I was following here also got out. If it was not a holy one who used that (drilling.) machine, it would have come on their heads! It is so difficult, but one holy one was in that area and took it up, or else the rescue would have been impossible! The Lord of Heavens makes the impossible become possible through the weakest holy one. Now I am happy to see them here, that it is their good chance to come here, also to look at them and to see them. Behind our guests there is coming an opening for spirituality in that area. As much as North America becomes materialistic, those people are going to be more spiritual and power will be given to them. Yes, it is now good. I hope that they will reach to Mahdi (a) and also Jesus Christ (a), and mostly those people are coming to Islam! (Mawlana Shaykh gives money to the miners.) It is a little amount but I hope to reach to them every month. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. Inshaa-Allah, you may reach me through my son, and you may ask him and what is coming to me of more charity, I am sending; I am not leaving them. I don't like you to work once again on that (in the mine), no. He may stand in a fleamarket by himself and it is enough, but monthly inshaa- Allah what is coming to me, I am sending inshaa-Allah. Translator: (Translator gives Mawlana Shaykh a Chilean flag signed by the 33 miners.) They signed it inside the mine and it is a gift from all of them to you. (The miners gave coal and mineral as a gift as well as an embroidered cloth and a rosary from one of the miner's family.) They are saying this is nothing, in return for all the prayers and all you did for them. Mawlana Shaykh: Our reward is coming from Heavens. We are weak workers, weak servants. (Mawlana Shaykh gives several tasbihs for the children of the miners.) (The daughter of one miner sits at Mawlana Shaykh's feet, weeping. Last summer she took shahadah with Naqshbandi mureeds in Santiago, Chile, and she was able to get Mawlana Shaykh's package to the miners.)

Translator: In May, she lost her son in the sea. Mawlana Shaykh: Inshaa-Allah, he will come when Jesus comes down. Don't worry, we may bring inshaa- Allah. Fatihah. (Chileans take baya`.) Mawlana Shaykh: Happy days to you, here and Hereafter. Pray, pray, pray for me. Shukr, yaa Rabbee. Translator: May Allah bless you. (Mawlana Shaykh hugs the miners.) Mashaa-Allah. Mashaa-Allah. (They are) lions! Send my salaams! Inshaa-Allah thousands and thousands, ten thousand, one-hundred thousand will be coming to Damascus on the sea! Translator: He is saying they are very grateful for this invitation. They are honored and they will tell all the other miners about their experience here. Mawlana Shaykh: Send my regards and salaams to all the other miners, and (tell them) if possible, I don't like them to work under the Earth. A small amount of work is better on the Earth. Yes, and they are like my children. Inshaa-Allah, I hope that I can reach them monthly. Don't go down (in the mines), there is no need. Translator: They are honored for what you are saying. Mawlana Shaykh: Allah is enough for us. Work outside, don't go down. The second time, we are not carrying the responsibility! (laughter) As-salaamu `alaykum. I shall send to them money to make a dergah and they may have goats. Goats and planting crops is enough for them. I shall send to you money to buy one-thousand goats, and in the second year there will be ten thousand! Translator: He was a shepherd of seven hundred goats when he was a child. Mawlana Shaykh: Ah! Therefore, I am saying this. He was looking after seven hundred? Translator: With his grandfather.

An Interview with the German Magazine 'Focus': Atheism is a Cover-Up of Reality
Sheik Nazim, you often speak of the return of the Caliphs. Which governing system are you referring to? The Sharia refers to a government according to the system offered to us in the Holy Quran. The Ottoman Empire ruled for 700 years with those rules. The new Turkey abolished them and are now governing in the worst fashion. It was the biggest mistake to remove the Caliph. Do you think that the system of Caliphs will come back? I hope it will come back at the beginning of the 21st century. That is necessary. Within the system of the Sharia what is the difference of a 'shura' and of the democratic system which we have here in Germany for example? In Islam the sultan appoints people to be part of the shura. These are specialists, not just simple people from the market who appear to take over the government, the way happens in democracies. The shura of Islam is a system from up to down, not from down to up, like in democracies. In which way do westerners have to change their life when they join a tariqat?

4574 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: InterviewWithFocus
Before becoming a Muslim most people lead an uncontrolled life. They now find that discipline is part of their life. It gives them more peace and more honour. They prefer to be able to follow an order to be able to control their desires. They see the advantage and that is why they stay. Otherwise they would leave one by one. There are many westerners who are interested in other cultures... Any culture which does not give us a control of our ego is useless. But wouldn't it be better to keep the heritage of your own tradition? When it comes to buying fruit you also go and get the best fruits in the market, no matter where they come from. Why shouldn't you want the best quality for your spiritual life as well? Do you think that life in a pub is the best choice? The Naqshbandis are famous for their silent Zikr, but last night I heard you making quite a loud one in the Gastei? Sometimes we sing because it is easier heard. When the singing stops and every movement stops you will be with your Lord. Silence is the basic rule of the whole creation. Just like darkness is the original base. Light can take it away for a while, but finally it will be dark. Just like peace is the foundation, but enmity can cover it up temporarily. In the same way religion is the base, atheism a cover-up of this reality. 01.01.1996

QUESTIONS BY JOURNALISTS
Q: Is it true that Islam is a religion of fundamentalism and that Muslims do not like to have a dialogue with other religions? I am sorry to say that since 1500 years people do not understand Islam. Because they do not look to the real sources of Islam. People are not looking at the original Islam, they are only looking at the living Muslims and judging from there. Do you think that Christians are living real Christianity? In the same way, very few people today are living the real Islam. People do not follow the real Islam, they follow politicians who with their whole being contradict Islam. No religion came to fight in this world. They came to make peace amongst people. Q: So why is this wrong way of religion so widespread nowadays? Because of the Europeans! They made us to follow them. When we started to follow Western countries, we became like them. They are our teachers. Go to Turkey or to Egypt or to Morocco and look! We cannot prevent this current. It is like winter covering the whole world. All nations are on the same road. Christians, Muslims, Jews ... most of them are leading the same kind of lives, because you can very rarely find real Christians. I attended the meeting with the Pope on Thursday (Nov 3rd, 1994 at the opening of the 6th WCRP

at Vatican) and I saw that in front of the Pope the Christian ladies were sitting with uncovered heads and their dresses are also not traditional Christian dresses. Why? Where is the real Christianity today? They should be ashamed to come like that in front of the Holy Pope as if they were attending a fashion show. I never saw women like that in the Holy Bible, the women surrounding Jesus looked more like nuns. That is the real Christian dressing. In our countries it is the same, our Muslim women prefer to follow the new fashion. Our fashion is created by the Jews, so where is the real Judaism, real Christianity or real Islam? Q: So do you think that the outside appearance is more important than the condition of the heart? We are not Prophets, so we cannot look at what is going on inside, but we see the outside and it does not make me happy. I thought that at least people would try to dress decently in the Vatican, so that Christianity would be respected. But no! Q: Why can men and women not pray together in the mosque? Why should they? The mosque is not a discotheque, so you cannot do such things there. Religious matters are serious, you cannot mix it. In real Christianity there is also no such thing as men and women praying together. They know that the monasteries are for monks and the convents for nuns. So why are they not mixed? For the same reason we, in Islam do not mix men and women in prayer. When we do that, we follow Heavenly Orders, because the Lord knows more than we do. In the discotheques you may do it!

INTERVIEW with THE INDEPENDENT TV CHICAGO
What are your beliefs? We believe in one God, just like all other Heavenly Religions. We also believe in the Holy Books, in all of them. We do not add or subtract anything, but whatever Message the Lord sent we accept. So we accept the Old Testament, the Thora, the New Testament, the Bible, and the Psalms which were sent to David. But we also believe in the Last Prophet, Sayyidina Muhammad and his Holy Book, the Sacred Quran. We also believe in all Prophets without making any exceptions, starting from Adam until Muhammad, may peace be with all of them. This includes Sayyidina Musa and Sayyidina Isa, Jesus Christ. Then we believe in the Last Day, the Day of Resurrection, which means that we believe that mankind has responsibility. We believe that people will be asked and will be responsible for every action during their life. That is what we believe in. I think that the pillars of Christianity and Judaism are the same, because all of them are Heavenly Religions. There are just a few points which the Lord of Heavens has changed according to the different understanding of people in their time. These are only a few changes of practices. Worshipping in general means that we give our high respect to our Lord, that we are thankful to Him and that we praise Him. Those are our beliefs and practises. We also believe that the way of whoever comes to this life will turn back to Heavens. Because of our traditional knowledge we believe, just like the Christians believe

4578 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: InterviewWithTheIndependetTVChicago
and the Jews believe, that our souls are Heavenly Beings. That is why our souls always long for their homeland. Some are so occupied with the enjoyments and pleasures of this world that they forget their target to get back to Heavens. Our mission, like the mission of all Prophets and all Saints, is to direct the desires of the people towards Heavens. This is also the mission which I have within these mystic ways, the most distinguished Naqshbandi Order. Which is the form of meditation that you teach? Meditation you find within all religions, but it is not a method for common people, because common people are like children in the kindergarden. They cannot concentrate on anything. But when they reach university or academy level they start to think. That is why we don't offer meditation to everyone. Meditation is the top level. Whoever reaches such a level can sit without even breathing. They can look, see, hear, understand, taste and know. That is then real meditation. It is not something where everyone can sit here and pretend to meditation. That would then be imitation. Do you think that meditation and prayer can play a role in bringing world peace? The message of meditation is to get people to look towards Heavens. As long as people are stuck to this world, they will fight. If I sit at night and look towards the sky and tell someone that all the stars there belong to me, no-one will oppose. But if I just claim that one tree here belongs to me, then at least 100 people will come and fight against it. In the same way, as long as people are only concentrating on this life, they will quarrel endlessly. But if their eyes start to turn towards Heavenly Stations, they will feel the peace within themselves. That peace will come through the heart and then there will be peace. Even if a meeting is organised by governments or Kings and very big, if there is no peace in the hearts of the participants, it will never bring peace. Peace must first come to our hearts. I do not discuss with the participants of this conference here, because that would go against human rights. But human rights can also not be fulfilled if people do not have peace in their hearts. How can we achieve this? I always advise everyone to follow a good-one. They are in peace because they are with their Lord. If someone is with their Lord, they will be in confidence, peace and satisfaction. If he isn't, then don't follow him. People

are fed up with wars and fights. Religious peple have more responsibility than others to establish peace on earth. But most of them are using a fruitless method. They should try to bring peace in the hearts of people. If they do not do this then conferences, meetings and commissions will result in nothing. That is why I advise holy people too not to waste time with such conferences, but to try to bring peace to people. But you cannot bring peace to people if you don't have any yourself. And as far as I can see, no-one here has peace within themselves, so how do they want to pass it on? Italy - 01.11.1994

Amin Ya Rabbi,Ya Allah! With the permission of Allah(jj), we pray 2 rakat. May we receive support. Dastur. Ya madad. Let's say Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar wa liLlahil Hamd. May we glorify our Creator. Assalamu Alaikum O beloved friends of Shah Mardan. The friends of the lion of Allah(jj) Marhaba. Marhaba. Marhaba. How beautiful! Oh Our Lord may You dress us in the robe of beauty! You dressed us with nobility and beauty and the robe of honor. May we keep and preserve the honor with which we have been dressed. Please Shah Mardan go on - the arena is yours. Let's say Bismillahir rahmanir rahim. The robe of Honor, Basmala Shariff, gives honor to humanity, and dresses them with spiritual beauty - Bismillahir rahmanir rahim. May we say it! He Who can give strength to weak ones, honor to low ones, who can make poor ones wealthy, Rabbul Izzah. May we praise our Lord, Janabul Haqq. Say: Bismillahir rahmanir rahim. Oh Shah Mardan! Your station is beyond the limitations of our imagination. Allah DhulJalal distinguished Shah Mardan, with special features. He was created with majesty. He has been dressed with majesty, honor and Adab. Beyond this, he has been granted Divine Knowledge. Please go on Shah Mardan. May you gaze on us and give us strength. We are weak and we ask for strength. In order to perform servanthood to our Lord, we want strength. We want Shah Mardan to teach us servanthood. We want his friends too. The friends of Shah Mardan can teach us the ways that lead to our Lord. The beginning of this path starts with our Holy Prophet(sws) who is the Pride of the universe. Without following our Prophet(sws), you cannot reach your goal - remain below when the level of the human being is meant to ascend. Humans are not created for this world. Animals are created for this world. Animals are looking at ground. No animal is looking up like this, but humans do. Humans look upwards.

Those ignorant ones who are looking downwards, they are unconscious. They are like animals. Those who are staring upwards, they are spiritual ones. The glory of angels are close to them. They receive the honor coming from the heavens, by looking up. Who is looking down like this - category of animals. Those who are staring at the sky are distinguished, honorable humans who are endowed with grace by the Lord. Humans look upwards. Animals look downwards. O people, so then, O Shah Mardan the realm is yours. As we say Bismillahir rahmanir rahim Our gaze turns to the heavens immediately. The moment we say Bismillahir rahmanir rahim, we turn our gaze towards the skies/heavens. We exit the animal's category. The robe of honor meant for human beings is for the skies and heavens. You can't ascend without being dressed with it. Without being dressed with the robe of honor, no one can be elevated towards heavens. Please go on Shah Mardan! Animals can't ascend to the heavens. Animals are looking downwards. They think about food. Their worries are either bones or hay. No other worries. However, human beings are not created to eat bones or hay. Tell them oh Shah Mardan. These facts/realities are being taught in Islam. Islam. All prophets, "Wa kana Ibrahima musliman". "Prophet Abraham was a muslim", it says. Muslim! Allah Allah! Prophet Abraham was Muslim. All prophets from his lineage were Muslims. Noah(as) was Muslim. Hud(as) was Muslim. The lineage of Prophet Abraham(as), since the Prophet Adam(as), are all Muslims
