now 10, 12, 15, 20... years old. 30 years ago you were nothing. Look at where you are now. You were in the wombs of your mothers, but you did not know anything. While you were growing you started to know things. Who was it who brought you from unknown to known areas?" Ask them this and teach them! That is important for the lives of everyone, especially for the new generation. Life of man is a building. Everyone who comes into this life has been offered to build his life. That building must be strong enough to shelter people to continue safely and honourably throughout their life. It must be based on a foundation. The stronger it is, the stronger the building will be able to stand on it. If it is weak, even the wind can pull it down, or if a strong person hits on it, it will fall. It cannot be safe. This is why we need a strong foundation on which we can build a strong building of life. Foundations are not visible, they are

secret, like the roots of trees. If a tree has no roots it cannot live, like we cannot live a strong and honourable life without a foundation. Our beliefs are our strong foundation. Try to give the young people the message of Heavens which hasn't changed throughout thousands of years. It has been brought to us by messengers and holy books. This is the first information we must give young ones: we are created by the Creator of the universe. If they ask where He is, you may say, "He is beyond this universe. If you can go beyond this universe, you may see him!" It is impossible for us to even reach the limits of this universe. Every greatness beside the greatness of the Creator will always be nothing. The universe is in limits. Beyond the universe are endless unlimited existences; darkness. He is so big that it is impossible to give a vision of Him to you. Don't think that if you bring a postcard with His image, it could represent Him. That would be foolish! His greatness is endless and unlimited. What ever He has created will be less and in limits. It will be nothing. This is why you must say that the whole creation, all creatures need a Creator. We do not need to ask where He is and how He is. If that is what you want to know, you are asking for the impossible. It is like someone saying, "I must look at the sun and see what it is and how it is. It is impossible to enter there and to look. You would vanish. If you wanted to enter an atom and to look it would be just as impossible! We have been offered to believe. When you come to the limit of the impossible you can ask for everything which is possible. But when you ask the limits of the impossible don't ask, because your mentality will not be able to enter. In our days atheists are the people of satan. They create so much to cause people not to believe in anything. They invent these stupid questions to destroy beliefs. All religious people are complaining of those devils; the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims, because we all know that their aim is to destroy beliefs. Without beliefs man cannot live. Not everything your eyes show you is true. So many times your eyes will cheat you. It will call the spot of light in the sky a spot of light, even though it is a huge galaxy with billions of stars. What is true? What your eyes see, or what your mind is telling you? The message which you must give to children is to believe. You can find so many examples to make them

believe. Give them a strong belief as a foundation. The strongest belief is to believe in the Creator. When they believe in His existence, don't worry. We hope that youngsters now will come closer to spiritual aspects, that they will start to ask about unseen and unknown worlds. It is a grant of the Creator to them to make them believe in Him. When they believe in Him they will start asking about themselves. "Why did He create us? What is our mission? What have we been created for?" The answers to these questions will come when the building starts to evolve. 01.01.1997

The Life of the Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) was calling people to pray to that one and the key of Paradise is to accept and to say LA ILLAHA ALLALLAH, as well as MUHAMMADUR RASULALLAH (saws). Every prophet declared as a key of Paradise, because it is written in Paradise LA ILLAHA ILLALLAH MUHAMMADAR RASULALLAH (saws). If people accept or not, it doesn't change. It is a divine stamp in heaven, in Paradise. That is the key, to proclaim the Seal of Prophets, because he was the first to be created from all the prophets and he was the last to come, as Her Majesty the Queen, arrives last to a function - not coming first to wait for the others, but everyone waiting for the last, the biggest one. Therefore, Muhammad's message arrived last, because he was the greatest. Muhammad is the greatest. All heavenly books are stamped with that divine stamp - LA ILLAHA ILLALLAH MUHAMMADUR RASULALLAH (saws). That is our declaration. If anyone wants to ask more, to learn more, to take more evidence, he may look for it. Explanation of the use of the word 'devils' - those people (I am not intending to say unseen devils - seen devils) they are from mankind, but their activities are like devils, so bad, so cruel, so dirty, so dangerous, so harmful, so scorpions, so dragons. They are deputies of devils living with mankind - from mankind, but they are deputies for SHAITAN, deputies for devils. The story of the Seal of Prophets - always from prophets beautiful stories, every day they have beautiful
http://www.sufismus-online.de/LifeOfTheProphet (1 von 7)04.07.2013 23:23:52
5253 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: LifeOfTheProphet
stories, because they have been sent as examples for mankind, so that their actions are beautiful stories to be follows. Thousands of stories you will find for the Seal of Prophets, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Till now his story is the best known of all Prophets, The Life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). If you ask why, traditional heavenly knowledge makes it clear that he was the first of creation and the last to be sent. So that he had been expected from the beginning, from the first prophet, first man and first prophet, Adam. He gave an order to his children to believe in him and to respect him and to ask his intercession as he asked for the sake of Allah Almighty forgiveness when he broke the divinely command not to eat from prohibited tree forbidden fruit. He asked for the honour of the Seal of Prophets, beloved Muhammad (pbuh), that it is mentioned through all Holy Books, including the Old Testament, including the New Testament. It is most clear in the Gospels, except the Gospel of Luke, Mark, John and Matthew, because they do not mention it. Those books will be acceptable to the church, but there are other hundreds of gospels, prohibited books, as Holy Qur'an prohibited in churches. Now they may look for what I am saying through St. Barnabas gospel, that was found in the tomb of St. Barnabas, a Cypriot also. He was the most important disciple of Jesus Christ, he was with him from the beginning up to the end. He was like Sayiddina Abu Bakr and beloved Muhammad (pbuh), nearest one to Jesus Christ. Not St. Mark, St. Matthew, St. Luke or St. John with Jesus Christ, but St. Barnabas was with him. These saints whose books Christians accept lived so many years after Jesus Christ (pbuh). At that time Cyprus was under Jewish rule and the Jews made trouble for him and killed and he died a martyr. After so many centuries he came into the dream of a bishop of Cyprus, orthodox bishop, patriarch. He said to him, "I am buried here under that olive tree, dig and take my body out." He did and he found the gospel belonging to St. Barnabas on his chest. He took it to the Byzantine emperor who was very happy with the bishop and dressed him in emperor's clothes and give the Church of Cyprus independence. Also, allowed him to sign with red ink that was used only by the emperor. Up to today in Cyprus the patriarch is independent and signs with red ink. Christians are thinking that they have only four gospels. No-one made any more gospels? Why only these four gospels? One gospel, or four? What are the differences among them. Why are they not coming altogether? That gives doubt. So the first intercession of Adam when he asked for the honour of that beloved one - O my Lord, please forgive me, forgive us - Adam asked forgiveness and Allah Almighty answered him saying - O Adam, if I had not created Muhammad, I would not have created you, I have not created heavens or universe except for the sake of that beloved one. I created you and everything in existence and if you are

5254 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: LifeOfTheProphet
asking for his honour I give you. Every prophet who come spoke about beloved Muhammad (pbuh). Jesus Christ said clearly that night, before going up to heaven, he was sitting at the last meeting with his disciples and he was declared everything which would happen. He said, I am going, I must go, if I do not go, the one who will phrophecy everything from beginning to end will not come. And what you don't understand about me, he will explain. And he said and he left: I must go; if I do not go that other one will not come. And he went. No-one could touch Jesus Christ, it is impossible. Do you think that a rocket when it is ready to take off that anyone could come near by? It is forbidden. From far away they are looking, no-one can approach, because it is ready to take off. Do you think Jesus Christ, one of the greatest ones, the word of the Lord, that they could touch him at that time when he was ordered to rise up? How many billion volts we have now on earth, more power that that was protecting him. If the whole Roman army came, they would be like charcoal, burning and becoming like charcoal - so much power around him. Is it easy to come to Jesus Christ, to touch him? All the Roman soldiers would leave, all the soldiers in the world who tried to touch him, would be burnt. No-one understands this, no-one gives that honour to Jesus Christ. They are saying that Roman soldiers catching him, putting a cross on his shoulder and making him carry it. What is that foolishness? Lord Allah Almighty is very angry that their beliefs are so misguided. He said I am going, my plane is ready now, I am taking off. Then Jesus Christ informed them, I am going and he is coming. He is going but at the end on the last day come, I am coming back to be with you once again, O Christians! And I shall tell you as he Muhammad told about me, making everything clear, but you do not accept what he said. I am coming to make everything clear about doubts about the beloved Muhammad (pbuh). Then I am looking after him, I am that one, perhaps first one whom they are looking after him to come on earth. I should be first one following him, to be with him. When Jesus Christ comes on earth once again, he is not coming with a stick as he was carried in his time. A stick is not enough for our times, he will carry a sword, a sharp sword which may reach from East to West, from West to East. Sometimes mankind may be cleaned by sword. All the prophets spoke about beloved Muhammad (pbuh). He was physically perfect and the most handsome person, physically, and most perfect one in his attributes, because he was the presentation of divine attributes. He never harmed anyone in his life, but he fought against devils. If you are blaming a person for fighting against devils, you also must be from devils. I don't think that a good person would be against a
http://www.sufismus-online.de/LifeOfTheProphet (3 von 7)04.07.2013 23:23:52
5255 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: LifeOfTheProphet
person who fights devils. If you are accusing him for using a sword and fighting, you are wrong, it is a defence against for devils. Every good one must be against devils. How could a prophet be with devils, not against devils who are against truth, against humanity, harming mankind, criminal people, bad people, tyrants. He was against tyrants. He was a protector of weak people and all slaves were following him and sacrificing for him. One of those slaves, famous Bilal, coloured person from Abyssinia. He saved him and made him free. He was punished by his owner before Prophet saved him. So many slaves, so many weak people were with him. That shows the Prophet was a protector for weak people and the shelter for weak people, as he is going to be shelter on the Day of Resurrection for sinners and through his intercession sinners should be saved from divine punishment and forgiven and blessed. That is an introduction for the life of the greatest one. His life history needs volumes, hundreds of volumes, but we shall try to give according to conditions, according to the understanding of small ones and according to the understanding of common standard people. I am asking about Islam and about the Prophet (pbuh). Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim He is the most clear person before birth, through his birth, through his childhood, through his adulthood and through his whole life. His life gave thousands of stories. Day by day the events of his life were reported. Islamic libraries are full of his majestic life stories. He was not yet born and his father went first to the divinely presence. He was born as an orphan from his father. Then, he was only about four years when, with his respected mother, in the desert while she was dying. She was speaking to him and he was with his mother. His mother was so young and she was saying that my son is going to be praised on earth and in heavens and angels will surround him with their wings. He should be praised for ever on earth and in heavens, here and hereafter; O my beloved son, I am going to your Lord and I am leaving you, I believe in you and I believe in your greatness, I am leaving you in the hands of the Lord of Heavens, He, Almighty Allah alone, is going to look after and protect you; O my beloved son, your light is reaching from earth to heavens; O my beloved son, the greatest one of creatures, every new thing will be old, every new thing must decay, every living thing will die, every expected thing will happen. She was saying and he was listening. And she died. The Holy Prophet's small heart (in size), but in reality the biggest heart, was full with pity and mercy for his mother and he carried on. The most pitiful and merciful person for creation at his young age - he was carrying such a heavy burden in unknown deserts, the sky above him and all around desert, he was remaining without father and

5256 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: LifeOfTheProphet
mother. Their servant took him (pbuh) to his grandfather. That happened to the Seal of Prophets, that Allah Almighty prepared His beloved prophet, beloved Muhammad (pbuh), to be full of mercy for the whole of nature. He was the greatest one and he carries the responsibility of the whole of mankind in the divine presence so he must be full of mercy. He never hurt even an ant in his whole life and his life was full of these scenes of mercy. He was Allah Almighty's Mercy Oceans representative. From him, from his majestic heart, poured mercy through the hearts of prophets and saints and mankind and for everyone who is in existence and for creation. He was Mercy Oceans. It was enough to show his mercy to people how he was dealing on the day of capture of his homeland, Mecca. His tribe in Mecca just gave him (much more than any other nation gave) trouble. When he captured his homeland, Mecca, he went on a high place and leaned on his sword, he asked: "O people, what do you think how I am going to deal with you?" And all his tribe who gave him so many troubles, who hurt him and made him suffer, kept their heads down. They were saying only: "the best one, the best brother for us, the best son for us, the best grandson for us, the best relative for us, for our tribe and we only hope you will do for us your best." And he said: "O people, O my tribe, I am leaving all of you, I am giving you all your freedom; you were slaves under my sword, but I am dealing with you with my best for the sake of the Lord; I am leaving all of you free for the sake of my Lord, Almighty Allah." No-one reported such a dealing from conquerors in historical events, through history of the world. He is the only one who did this. Everyone may run to take revenge from them, but he was a mercy for mankind - he wasn't coming to kill, but he was coming to make alive. Fanatic people do not understand him and try to blame him that he used the sword against his enemies. Why are they now using weapons against their enemies - Christians and Jews? Why? If we do not use swords and weapons against enemies, would we use them against our friends? What is that nonsense? Why are they blaming the prophet that he is used a sword against his enemies? Who is going to deal with enemies if enemies are attacking with their swords and weapons - to sit down and say come and cut my head, come and kill me? What is that nonsense opinions of Christians and Jews? When he was conqueror and all those people were under his sword. If he had ordered, in a moment all their heads could be cut, but he said no. "You are asking from me, you are not using weapons now, it is finished, your swords are beneath my feet. And you are asking mercy from me and I am giving you mercy. If anyone asks mercy from me, I am giving mercy. If anyone coming as an enemy, I am giving my sword to him." That is the most
http://www.sufismus-online.de/LifeOfTheProphet (5 von 7)04.07.2013 23:23:52
5257 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: LifeOfTheProphet
excellent prophet, excellent in dealing with people. Everyone must accept this. This is the most perfect dealing. If they came and asked for mercy, he gave it. If sometimes he was killing, it was because they did not accepting from him mercy. He was not declaring that he was that prophet coming with mercy. They were denying and he was saying: go now, you are under my sword. When Sayiddina Muhammad was born (pbuh), that night the idols fell down in the Ka'aba - as a miracle for his coming all idols fell down around the Ka'aba and inside the Ka'aba. People were wondering what happened the idols fell on their faces like a person making sajda. Through that night there was lightening over the whole place, the whole of Mecca. At the time of his birth lights were coming - not daylight, but a light never seen before. Such lights covered Mecca and came from the Prophet's birthplace, in such colours that no- one can expect to see, to know or to be seen before. That night all the animals in the deserts and in Mecca were giving congratulations for the birth of the mercy of creation, for the mercy of all creatures. That same night one of the big Jewish scholars living in Medina looked at the skies and shouted in a loud voice: "O the star of Ahmad just appeared! O Jewish people, O people, look, the star of Ahmad just appeared! He must be born tonight!" The same night the fire burned in Persia for more than one thousand years without extinguishing just extinguished, suddenly. All the servants of the fire were very, very worried and said: "What happened? We kept that fire for a thousand years and suddenly it is extinguished. What happened? There must be some important happening just now?" From the palace of Ceasar fourteen turrets suddenly tumbled down and Ceasar was shaken on his throne from the greatness, of the tremor. Angels appeared at his birthplace putting wings on wings and he was born making sajda to his Lord and signing with his finger and saying shahada, signing the unity of his Lord Almighty Allah and declaring his prophethood. He was saying: "O my Lord!" His lips were speaking at that time. Christians know that Jesus Christ spoke after he was born at three days old, but the Seal of Prophets, beloved Muhammad (pbuh), was falling on his knees and putting his forehead on the earth, making sajda, the moment he was born and then saying shahada and then saying: "O my Lord, I am asking mercy for my nations, I am asking from your endless mercy oceans for my nation, because they are sinners; for the sinners I am asking for endless forgiveness and mercy."

He was perfect at birth, spiritually, and his name was given before his birth (pbuh). His mother (may Allah bless her), his holy mother, respected mother, dreamt and in her dream she had been told that: "O lucky one, you are most lucky one, carrying the beloved one of the Lord Almighty Allah, happiest one, luckiest one. When you are giving birth to him (pbuh), give his name to be Muhammad (saws) - that means "praised one", praised and respected through heavens and on earth." And she gave her son his name. When he was born, after a while, they put him on his back, and all the angels were flocking. After a while he was taken from there and his mother looked and wondered where her lovely, respected child went to - angels took him to heavens, all the heavens, and every angel gave respects and salutes, and put him in the divine presence and Allah Almighty saluting him, making salam on him, and after a while angels brought him and put him back. That is the Seal of Prophets. No other prophet before him (pbuh) reached that respect in the divine presence. Everyone was respected, but the most respected and beloved one was our prophet, the prophet for mankind (pbuh), beloved Muhammad (saws). His mother said, I never felt any burden while I was pregnant with him and I was heard that he was glorifying his Lord my womb. I never felt any pains when I was giving birth to him - angels and maidens from paradise were bringing a sort of drink so cold, so sweet, so white and so tasteful I never tasted; when I drank, the angels stroking my back with their wings and he was in the hands of the midwife (peace be upon him).

My Arabic is little. Once upon a time, Bismillah Al Rahman Al Rahim, maybe Bahauddin was not born yet, Shaykh Bahauddin, I was traveling with the Cypriot pilgrims. Subhana Allah in those days we used to get a ride from Nicosia, Lefkosia, to Beirut, then from Beirut with the busses to Sham. From Sham we used to walk to Hijaz (Saudi Arabia) or we take the...what the Arabs say Pullman.... Hisham Effendi used to tell me pullman/bullman... if you like this if you like bullman... In those day there was tension between the people of Sham and the people of Jordan. And we were going by road we were riding or with the busses I don't remember. End of story we reached the border and there was tension between the people of Sham and the Jordanians. Especially among the scholars, the scholars with no mind, they used to insult the Jordanian Government. Their government is a Kingdom, The Hashemite Kingdom. Some of the scholars had no mind, those who had no manners used to insult the King. And therefore for those traveling from the Jordanian way on the border the police intelligence was there especially for some heedless ones from the people of Sham. They used to question them and they would send them back from the border. I reached the border & I was arranging some things, to prepare ourselves for the trip, from the border. While on the way to the border one man came, masha'Allah, he was as tall as Nabil 1 1/2 times maybe. He said to me "O Shaykh!" "Yes," "What do you think of this & that?" I understood from him that if a person.. the ones that travel to his country, (from Sham) are against the Ahl Al Bayt it is because of the Palestinians that were living in the West of Sham. So he tried to make me speak, to see if I was against the King then he would send me straight away. He spoke, he spoke, he spoke & said "what do you think?" So I said "O brother, I do not

understand Arabic, I am Turkish!" S.B.: He spoke for two hours! M: "Why didn't you tell me from the beginning & he became angry, "Why are you angry, I did not understand. My Arabic is little!" "Little, but you do not understand!" "I understood that much, I am Turkish. We are going from Sham to Hijaz." This way we managed the situation. "My Arabic is little, therefore this was the way to safety. "Therefore my Arabic is little." This set us free. Emir Hussein, not the King who established the Kingdom, Sharif Hussein, they chained him & exiled him to Cyprus. My father used to visit him & serve him. I will tell you a story. There was Shaykh Mehmet Effendi, he is really very peculiar, very funny he used to be the Imam for Sharif Hussein. They used to come to him, he had a small shop he can.... He was selling soap. Not only did he sell it, but he produced soap as well. And he was an Imam for Sharif Hussein. May Allah (swt) have mercy on his soul. And he used to come visit him from outside the walls of his house in Nicosia. They used to come & sit, the servants of Sharif Hussein. And one day, I also was walking and I saw them sitting, some of his servants wore the traditional headdress the 'Iqal. I was 8 or 10 years old then. I saw & there were other kids behind me. Then the kids said "the servants of S. Hussein are sitting with black snakes on their heads." I saw that and I started running away. I ran away because there was a snake on their heads. And like this.... Subhana Allahi l 'Aliyi l 'Azim. We were aquainted. May Allah forgive us, and forgive our sins, insha'Allah. There will come a time "for everyone to receive their due rights" (Hadith). More honour & sovereignty to the children of the Prophet (saws), it must be. Things must return to their origin. The Arabs have no respect left for the children of the Prophet (saws). What gives them the right (not to respect them)? Lefke, 16.02.2013

This Life's Desires are Surrounded by Disliked Things
To be one of the best servants you should try to learn more. All prophets advised this to their nations. And we, who are following their path, are trying to do as they did. We want people to learn to practise serving their Lord. That is our aim. Sayyidina Muhammad* used to say that if one day is like the next, you have lost. It means, you must try to improve a little bit every day. Don't stay on the same level. Push yourself further and further and further. When we are trying to move in the direction of Allah, He will also come closer to you. If a servant comes closer to his Creator, his Creator will come even closer to him. Allah is watching whether His servant is trying to come closer, or not. Are people nowadays trying to come closer to their Lord? No, they are trying to come closer to dunya and its pleasures. The more people ask for more pleasures in this life, more problems will run after them and surround them. This life's pleasures are surrounded by disliked things, so by the time you reach these pleasures you will be exhausted. Still people are running after their physical body's desires and enjoyments! There is probably only one person within 100 000 who wants spiritual pleasure within the Divine Presence instead. Most people are only running after this life. But the more you run after it, the more you will be surrounded by disliked things. Beware of physical desires! Be careful! They will occupy you uselessly and waste you. Finally they are like a mirage. It is like when you see water on the horizon of the

desert and you run there to end up finding nothing. In the same way we are running after this life's pleasure and will find nothing in the end. We will have wasted it. There will be no chance to come back and start from the beginning again. You will only have one chance. That is why we must have a control on ourselves. Beware of your ego. It just asks for more and more and then runs away. In the end you will have wasted yourself. Ask yourself whether you were created for eating and drinking only. No! We have been created for something else. Our eating and drinking is only meant to strengthen our physical body, so that we can use it for serving the Lord. Nowadays in the west the presumption is, that we have only been created to eat and drink and have our sexual enjoyments. We would

While you were growing you started to know things. Who was it who brought you from unknown to known areas?" Ask them this and teach them! That is important for the lives of everyone, especially for the new generation. Life of man is a building. Everyone who comes into this life has been offered to build his life. That building must be strong enough to shelter people to continue safely and honourably throughout their life. It must be based on a foundation. The stronger it is, the stronger the building will be able to stand on it. If it is weak, even the wind can pull it down, or if a strong person hits on it, it will fall. It cannot be safe. This is why we need a strong foundation on which we can build a strong building of life. Foundations are not visible, they are

secret, like the roots of trees. If a tree has no roots it cannot live, like we cannot live a strong and honourable life without a foundation. Our beliefs are our strong foundation. Try to give the young people the message of Heavens which hasn't changed throughout thousands of years. It has been brought to us by messengers and holy books. This is the first information we must give young ones: we are created by the Creator of the universe. If they ask where He is, you may say, "He is beyond this universe. If you can go beyond this universe, you may see him!" It is impossible for us to even reach the limits of this universe. Every greatness beside the greatness of the Creator will always be nothing. The universe is in limits. Beyond the universe are endless unlimited existences; darkness. He is so big that it is impossible to give a vision of Him to you. Don't think that if you bring a postcard with His image, it could represent Him. That would be foolish! His greatness is endless and unlimited. What ever He has created will be less and in limits. It will be nothing. This is why you must say that the whole creation, all creatures need a Creator. We do not need to ask where He is and how He is. If that is what you want to know, you are asking for the impossible. It is like someone saying, "I must look at the sun and see what it is and how it is. It is impossible to enter there and to look. You would vanish. If you wanted to enter an atom and to look it would be just as impossible! We have been offered to believe. When you come to the limit of the impossible you can ask for everything which is possible. But when you ask the limits of the impossible don't ask, because your mentality will not be able to enter. In our days atheists are the people of satan. They create so much to cause people not to believe in anything. They invent these stupid questions to destroy beliefs. All religious people are complaining of those devils; the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims, because we all know that their aim is to destroy beliefs. Without beliefs man cannot live. Not everything your eyes show you is true. So many times your eyes will cheat you. It will call the spot of light in the sky a spot of light, even though it is a huge galaxy with billions of stars. What is true? What your eyes see, or what your mind is telling you? The message which you must give to children is to believe. You can find so many examples to make them

believe. Give them a strong belief as a foundation. The strongest belief is to believe in the Creator. When they believe in His existence, don't worry. We hope that youngsters now will come closer to spiritual aspects, that they will start to ask about unseen and unknown worlds. It is a grant of the Creator to them to make them believe in Him. When they believe in Him they will start asking about themselves. "Why did He create us? What is our mission? What have we been created for?" The answers to these questions will come when the building starts to evolve. 01.01.1997

The Life of the Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) was calling people to pray to that one and the key of Paradise is to accept and to say LA ILLAHA ALLALLAH, as well as MUHAMMADUR RASULALLAH (saws). Every prophet declared as a key of Paradise, because it is written in Paradise LA ILLAHA ILLALLAH MUHAMMADAR RASULALLAH (saws). If people accept or not, it doesn't change. It is a divine stamp in heaven, in Paradise. That is the key, to proclaim the Seal of Prophets, because he was the first to be created from all the prophets and he was the last to come, as Her Majesty the Queen, arrives last to a function - not coming first to wait for the others, but everyone waiting for the last, the biggest one. Therefore, Muhammad's message arrived last, because he was the greatest. Muhammad is the greatest. All heavenly books are stamped with that divine stamp - LA ILLAHA ILLALLAH MUHAMMADUR RASULALLAH (saws). That is our declaration. If anyone wants to ask more, to learn more, to take more evidence, he may look for it. Explanation of the use of the word 'devils' - those people (I am not intending to say unseen devils - seen devils) they are from mankind, but their activities are like devils, so bad, so cruel, so dirty, so dangerous, so harmful, so scorpions, so dragons. They are deputies of devils living with mankind - from mankind, but they are deputies for SHAITAN, deputies for devils. The story of the Seal of Prophets - always from prophets beautiful stories, every day they have beautiful

5253 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: LifeOfTheProphet
stories, because they have been sent as examples for mankind, so that their actions are beautiful stories to be follows. Thousands of stories you will find for the Seal of Prophets, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Till now his story is the best known of all Prophets, The Life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). If you ask why, traditional heavenly knowledge makes it clear that he was the first of creation and the last to be sent. So that he had been expected from the beginning, from the first prophet, first man and first prophet, Adam. He gave an order to his children to believe in him and to respect him and to ask his intercession as he asked for the sake of Allah Almighty forgiveness when he broke the divinely command not to eat from prohibited tree forbidden fruit. He asked for the honour of the Seal of Prophets, beloved Muhammad (pbuh), that it is mentioned through all Holy Books, including the Old Testament, including the New Testament. It is most clear in the Gospels, except the Gospel of Luke, Mark, John and Matthew, because they do not mention it. Those books will be acceptable to the church, but there are other hundreds of gospels, prohibited books, as Holy Qur'an prohibited in churches. Now they may look for what I am saying through St. Barnabas gospel, that was found in the tomb of St. Barnabas, a Cypriot also. He was the most important disciple of Jesus Christ, he was with him from the beginning up to the end. He was like Sayiddina Abu Bakr and beloved Muhammad (pbuh), nearest one to Jesus Christ. Not St. Mark, St. Matthew, St. Luke or St. John with Jesus Christ, but St. Barnabas was with him. These saints whose books Christians accept lived so many years after Jesus Christ (pbuh). At that time Cyprus was under Jewish rule and the Jews made trouble for him and killed and he died a martyr. After so many centuries he came into the dream of a bishop of Cyprus, orthodox bishop, patriarch. He said to him, "I am buried here under that olive tree, dig and take my body out." He did and he found the gospel belonging to St. Barnabas on his chest. He took it to the Byzantine emperor who was very happy with the bishop and dressed him in emperor's clothes and give the Church of Cyprus independence. Also, allowed him to sign with red ink that was used only by the emperor. Up to today in Cyprus the patriarch is independent and signs with red ink. Christians are thinking that they have only four gospels. No-one made any more gospels? Why only these four gospels? One gospel, or four? What are the differences among them. Why are they not coming altogether? That gives doubt. So the first intercession of Adam when he asked for the honour of that beloved one - O my Lord, please forgive me, forgive us - Adam asked forgiveness and Allah Almighty answered him saying - O Adam, if I had not created Muhammad, I would not have created you, I have not created heavens or universe except for the sake of that beloved one. I created you and everything in existence and if you are

asking for his honour I give you. Every prophet who come spoke about beloved Muhammad (pbuh). Jesus Christ said clearly that night, before going up to heaven, he was sitting at the last meeting with his disciples and he was declared everything which would happen. He said, I am going, I must go, if I do not go, the one who will phrophecy everything from beginning to end will not come. And what you don't understand about me, he will explain. And he said and he left: I must go; if I do not go that other one will not come. And he went. No-one could touch Jesus Christ, it is impossible. Do you think that a rocket when it is ready to take off that anyone could come near by? It is forbidden. From far away they are looking, no-one can approach, because it is ready to take off. Do you think Jesus Christ, one of the greatest ones, the word of the Lord, that they could touch him at that time when he was ordered to rise up? How many billion volts we have now on earth, more power that that was protecting him. If the whole Roman army came, they would be like charcoal, burning and becoming like charcoal - so much power around him. Is it easy to come to Jesus Christ, to touch him? All the Roman soldiers would leave, all the soldiers in the world who tried to touch him, would be burnt. No-one understands this, no-one gives that honour to Jesus Christ. They are saying that Roman soldiers catching him, putting a cross on his shoulder and making him carry it. What is that foolishness? Lord Allah Almighty is very angry that their beliefs are so misguided. He said I am going, my plane is ready now, I am taking off. Then Jesus Christ informed them, I am going and he is coming. He is going but at the end on the last day come, I am coming back to be with you once again, O Christians! And I shall tell you as he Muhammad told about me, making everything clear, but you do not accept what he said. I am coming to make everything clear about doubts about the beloved Muhammad (pbuh). Then I am looking after him, I am that one, perhaps first one whom they are looking after him to come on earth. I should be first one following him, to be with him. When Jesus Christ comes on earth once again, he is not coming with a stick as he was carried in his time. A stick is not enough for our times, he will carry a sword, a sharp sword which may reach from East to West, from West to East. Sometimes mankind may be cleaned by sword. All the prophets spoke about beloved Muhammad (pbuh). He was physically perfect and the most handsome person, physically, and most perfect one in his attributes, because he was the presentation of divine attributes. He never harmed anyone in his life, but he fought against devils. If you are blaming a person for fighting against devils, you also must be from devils. I don't think that a good person would be against a
http://www.sufismus-online.de/LifeOfTheProphet (3 von 7)04.07.2013 23:23:52
5255 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: LifeOfTheProphet
person who fights devils. If you are accusing him for using a sword and fighting, you are wrong, it is a defence against for devils. Every good one must be against devils. How could a prophet be with devils, not against devils who are against truth, against humanity, harming mankind, criminal people, bad people, tyrants. He was against tyrants. He was a protector of weak people and all slaves were following him and sacrificing for him. One of those slaves, famous Bilal, coloured person from Abyssinia. He saved him and made him free. He was punished by his owner before Prophet saved him. So many slaves, so many weak people were with him. That shows the Prophet was a protector for weak people and the shelter for weak people, as he is going to be shelter on the Day of Resurrection for sinners and through his intercession sinners should be saved from divine punishment and forgiven and blessed. That is an introduction for the life of the greatest one. His life history needs volumes, hundreds of volumes, but we shall try to give according to conditions, according to the understanding of small ones and according to the understanding of common standard people. I am asking about Islam and about the Prophet (pbuh). Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim He is the most clear person before birth, through his birth, through his childhood, through his adulthood and through his whole life. His life gave thousands of stories. Day by day the events of his life were reported. Islamic libraries are full of his majestic life stories. He was not yet born and his father went first to the divinely presence. He was born as an orphan from his father. Then, he was only about four years when, with his respected mother, in the desert while she was dying. She was speaking to him and he was with his mother. His mother was so young and she was saying that my son is going to be praised on earth and in heavens and angels will surround him with their wings. He should be praised for ever on earth and in heavens, here and hereafter; O my beloved son, I am going to your Lord and I am leaving you, I believe in you and I believe in your greatness, I am leaving you in the hands of the Lord of Heavens, He, Almighty Allah alone, is going to look after and protect you; O my beloved son, your light is reaching from earth to heavens; O my beloved son, the greatest one of creatures, every new thing will be old, every new thing must decay, every living thing will die, every expected thing will happen. She was saying and he was listening. And she died. The Holy Prophet's small heart (in size), but in reality the biggest heart, was full with pity and mercy for his mother and he carried on. The most pitiful and merciful person for creation at his young age - he was carrying such a heavy burden in unknown deserts, the sky above him and all around desert, he was remaining without father and

5256 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: LifeOfTheProphet
mother. Their servant took him (pbuh) to his grandfather. That happened to the Seal of Prophets, that Allah Almighty prepared His beloved prophet, beloved Muhammad (pbuh), to be full of mercy for the whole of nature. He was the greatest one and he carries the responsibility of the whole of mankind in the divine presence so he must be full of mercy. He never hurt even an ant in his whole life and his life was full of these scenes of mercy. He was Allah Almighty's Mercy Oceans representative. From him, from his majestic heart, poured mercy through the hearts of prophets and saints and mankind and for everyone who is in existence and for creation. He was Mercy Oceans. It was enough to show his mercy to people how he was dealing on the day of capture of his homeland, Mecca. His tribe in Mecca just gave him (much more than any other nation gave) trouble. When he captured his homeland, Mecca, he went on a high place and leaned on his sword, he asked: "O people, what do you think how I am going to deal with you?" And all his tribe who gave him so many troubles, who hurt him and made him suffer, kept their heads down. They were saying only: "the best one, the best brother for us, the best son for us, the best grandson for us, the best relative for us, for our tribe and we only hope you will do for us your best." And he said: "O people, O my tribe, I am leaving all of you, I am giving you all your freedom; you were slaves under my sword, but I am dealing with you with my best for the sake of the Lord; I am leaving all of you free for the sake of my Lord, Almighty Allah." No-one reported such a dealing from conquerors in historical events, through history of the world. He is the only one who did this. Everyone may run to take revenge from them, but he was a mercy for mankind - he wasn't coming to kill, but he was coming to make alive. Fanatic people do not understand him and try to blame him that he used the sword against his enemies. Why are they now using weapons against their enemies - Christians and Jews? Why? If we do not use swords and weapons against enemies, would we use them against our friends? What is that nonsense? Why are they blaming the prophet that he is used a sword against his enemies? Who is going to deal with enemies if enemies are attacking with their swords and weapons - to sit down and say come and cut my head, come and kill me? What is that nonsense opinions of Christians and Jews? When he was conqueror and all those people were under his sword. If he had ordered, in a moment all their heads could be cut, but he said no. "You are asking from me, you are not using weapons now, it is finished, your swords are beneath my feet. And you are asking mercy from me and I am giving you mercy. If anyone asks mercy from me, I am giving mercy. If anyone coming as an enemy, I am giving my sword to him." That is the most
http://www.sufismus-online.de/LifeOfTheProphet (5 von 7)04.07.2013 23:23:52
5257 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: LifeOfTheProphet
excellent prophet, excellent in dealing with people. Everyone must accept this. This is the most perfect dealing. If they came and asked for mercy, he gave it. If sometimes he was killing, it was because they did not accepting from him mercy. He was not declaring that he was that prophet coming with mercy. They were denying and he was saying: go now, you are under my sword. When Sayiddina Muhammad was born (pbuh), that night the idols fell down in the Ka'aba - as a miracle for his coming all idols fell down around the Ka'aba and inside the Ka'aba. People were wondering what happened the idols fell on their faces like a person making sajda. Through that night there was lightening over the whole place, the whole of Mecca. At the time of his birth lights were coming - not daylight, but a light never seen before. Such lights covered Mecca and came from the Prophet's birthplace, in such colours that no- one can expect to see, to know or to be seen before. That night all the animals in the deserts and in Mecca were giving congratulations for the birth of the mercy of creation, for the mercy of all creatures. That same night one of the big Jewish scholars living in Medina looked at the skies and shouted in a loud voice: "O the star of Ahmad just appeared! O Jewish people, O people, look, the star of Ahmad just appeared! He must be born tonight!" The same night the fire burned in Persia for more than one thousand years without extinguishing just extinguished, suddenly. All the servants of the fire were very, very worried and said: "What happened? We kept that fire for a thousand years and suddenly it is extinguished. What happened? There must be some important happening just now?" From the palace of Ceasar fourteen turrets suddenly tumbled down and Ceasar was shaken on his throne from the greatness, of the tremor. Angels appeared at his birthplace putting wings on wings and he was born making sajda to his Lord and signing with his finger and saying shahada, signing the unity of his Lord Almighty Allah and declaring his prophethood. He was saying: "O my Lord!" His lips were speaking at that time. Christians know that Jesus Christ spoke after he was born at three days old, but the Seal of Prophets, beloved Muhammad (pbuh), was falling on his knees and putting his forehead on the earth, making sajda, the moment he was born and then saying shahada and then saying: "O my Lord, I am asking mercy for my nations, I am asking from your endless mercy oceans for my nation, because they are sinners; for the sinners I am asking for endless forgiveness and mercy."

He was perfect at birth, spiritually, and his name was given before his birth (pbuh). His mother (may Allah bless her), his holy mother, respected mother, dreamt and in her dream she had been told that: "O lucky one, you are most lucky one, carrying the beloved one of the Lord Almighty Allah, happiest one, luckiest one. When you are giving birth to him (pbuh), give his name to be Muhammad (saws) - that means "praised one", praised and respected through heavens and on earth." And she gave her son his name. When he was born, after a while, they put him on his back, and all the angels were flocking. After a while he was taken from there and his mother looked and wondered where her lovely, respected child went to - angels took him to heavens, all the heavens, and every angel gave respects and salutes, and put him in the divine presence and Allah Almighty saluting him, making salam on him, and after a while angels brought him and put him back. That is the Seal of Prophets. No other prophet before him (pbuh) reached that respect in the divine presence. Everyone was respected, but the most respected and beloved one was our prophet, the prophet for mankind (pbuh), beloved Muhammad (saws). His mother said, I never felt any burden while I was pregnant with him and I was heard that he was glorifying his Lord my womb. I never felt any pains when I was giving birth to him - angels and maidens from paradise were bringing a sort of drink so cold, so sweet, so white and so tasteful I never tasted; when I drank, the angels stroking my back with their wings and he was in the hands of the midwife (peace be upon him).

My Arabic is little. Once upon a time, Bismillah Al Rahman Al Rahim, maybe Bahauddin was not born yet, Shaykh Bahauddin, I was traveling with the Cypriot pilgrims. Subhana Allah in those days we used to get a ride from Nicosia, Lefkosia, to Beirut, then from Beirut with the busses to Sham. From Sham we used to walk to Hijaz (Saudi Arabia) or we take the...what the Arabs say Pullman.... Hisham Effendi used to tell me pullman/bullman... if you like this if you like bullman... In those day there was tension between the people of Sham and the people of Jordan. And we were going by road we were riding or with the busses I don't remember. End of story we reached the border and there was tension between the people of Sham and the Jordanians. Especially among the scholars, the scholars with no mind, they used to insult the Jordanian Government. Their government is a Kingdom, The Hashemite Kingdom. Some of the scholars had no mind, those who had no manners used to insult the King. And therefore for those traveling from the Jordanian way on the border the police intelligence was there especially for some heedless ones from the people of Sham. They used to question them and they would send them back from the border. I reached the border & I was arranging some things, to prepare ourselves for the trip, from the border. While on the way to the border one man came, masha'Allah, he was as tall as Nabil 1 1/2 times maybe. He said to me "O Shaykh!" "Yes," "What do you think of this & that?" I understood from him that if a person.. the ones that travel to his country, (from Sham) are against the Ahl Al Bayt it is because of the Palestinians that were living in the West of Sham. So he tried to make me speak, to see if I was against the King then he would send me straight away. He spoke, he spoke, he spoke & said "what do you think?" So I said "O brother, I do not

understand Arabic, I am Turkish!" S.B.: He spoke for two hours! M: "Why didn't you tell me from the beginning & he became angry, "Why are you angry, I did not understand. My Arabic is little!" "Little, but you do not understand!" "I understood that much, I am Turkish. We are going from Sham to Hijaz." This way we managed the situation. "My Arabic is little, therefore this was the way to safety. "Therefore my Arabic is little." This set us free. Emir Hussein, not the King who established the Kingdom, Sharif Hussein, they chained him & exiled him to Cyprus. My father used to visit him & serve him. I will tell you a story. There was Shaykh Mehmet Effendi, he is really very peculiar, very funny he used to be the Imam for Sharif Hussein. They used to come to him, he had a small shop he can.... He was selling soap. Not only did he sell it, but he produced soap as well. And he was an Imam for Sharif Hussein. May Allah (swt) have mercy on his soul. And he used to come visit him from outside the walls of his house in Nicosia. They used to come & sit, the servants of Sharif Hussein. And one day, I also was walking and I saw them sitting, some of his servants wore the traditional headdress the 'Iqal. I was 8 or 10 years old then. I saw & there were other kids behind me. Then the kids said "the servants of S. Hussein are sitting with black snakes on their heads." I saw that and I started running away. I ran away because there was a snake on their heads. And like this.... Subhana Allahi l 'Aliyi l 'Azim. We were aquainted. May Allah forgive us, and forgive our sins, insha'Allah. There will come a time "for everyone to receive their due rights" (Hadith). More honour & sovereignty to the children of the Prophet (saws), it must be. Things must return to their origin. The Arabs have no respect left for the children of the Prophet (saws). What gives them the right (not to respect them)? Lefke, 16.02.2013

This Life's Desires are Surrounded by Disliked Things
To be one of the best servants you should try to learn more. All prophets advised this to their nations. And we, who are following their path, are trying to do as they did. We want people to learn to practise serving their Lord. That is our aim. Sayyidina Muhammad* used to say that if one day is like the next, you have lost. It means, you must try to improve a little bit every day. Don't stay on the same level. Push yourself further and further and further. When we are trying to move in the direction of Allah, He will also come closer to you. If a servant comes closer to his Creator, his Creator will come even closer to him. Allah is watching whether His servant is trying to come closer, or not. Are people nowadays trying to come closer to their Lord? No, they are trying to come closer to dunya and its pleasures. The more people ask for more pleasures in this life, more problems will run after them and surround them. This life's pleasures are surrounded by disliked things, so by the time you reach these pleasures you will be exhausted. Still people are running after their physical body's desires and enjoyments! There is probably only one person within 100 000 who wants spiritual pleasure within the Divine Presence instead. Most people are only running after this life. But the more you run after it, the more you will be surrounded by disliked things. Beware of physical desires! Be careful! They will occupy you uselessly and waste you. Finally they are like a mirage. It is like when you see water on the horizon of the

desert and you run there to end up finding nothing. In the same way we are running after this life's pleasure and will find nothing in the end. We will have wasted it. There will be no chance to come back and start from the beginning again. You will only have one chance. That is why we must have a control on ourselves. Beware of your ego. It just asks for more and more and then runs away. In the end you will have wasted yourself. Ask yourself whether you were created for eating and drinking only. No! We have been created for something else. Our eating and drinking is only meant to strengthen our physical body, so that we can use it for serving the Lord. Nowadays in the west the presumption is, that we have only been created to eat and drink and have our sexual enjoyments. We would
