heart was full with those bad attributes that made him to look and to see, “That is Adam, whom You created, and now You are saying to all of us to make sajdah, to bow to him! I was just filling whole heavenly levels with worshipping and I would like instead of Adam, for me to be on that point." He was looking, not looking to Adam (a) to differentiate between himself and Adam (a). Therefore saying, “You created Adam from earth and You created me from fire.” And he was saying, “I was best or special of creatures to be in that divinely honor, I was thinking it was to be for me, and You are giving to Adam? I am not accepting!” When this happened, Iblees, Shaytan saying, “I am declaring war against Adam and his generation!” Then Allah Almighty ordering, "Get out! Get out!" and he was out from Paradise and Adam (a) remained in Paradise. Allah Almighty just saying, “That was My grant to you, O Adam, that there should be for you here everything except one point: I do not want you to ask anything from that tree.” And I would like to speak on it; perhaps they will give for another association.

And we are saying, a` oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem. We must run away from Shaytan. Allah, Allah. All tragedies from beginning up to end are for the reason of Shaytan, khaza`ahullah. May Allah Almighty make that one under Hell, a prison for that one, so we may be in safety! But we are now in this life, and Allah Almighty is asking to show value and honor of Mankind in His Divine Presence. And every time that Allah Almighty is sending to Mankind, humanity, human nature, from His endless Honor Oceans, Shaytan is exploding and `adhaab (punishment) is coming on him, punishment of fire! O our Salafi `ulamas! Marhaban! What is your opinion, if fire is giving punishment to fire? Is that a question? Yes, Shaytan is created from fire. How fire is giving punishment to fire, `adhaab? I know punishment, but fire burns man, and he is getting in endless pain because that fire is from Earth, a fiery burning. But what about Shaytan? I am asking Salafi `ulamas, you are all heedless people and are not understanding! Only Salafi `ulamas are saying, "We are `ulamas." I am asking you, if fire is giving punishment to fire? What is your answer? No, it is not something you can answer by thinking, it is a grant from Allah Almighty. Where is my stick? I don't know, but they are giving an answer to me. May fire give a trouble to fire? A question we are asking: if Shaytan's punishment going to be in Hells, Hell is fire and Shaytan is fire, so do you think fire gives punishment to fire? Suffering. Yes, that is a question so many people are not knowing an answer to. Once a philosopher who was proud with his philosophy was asking a wali or any ordinary believer from Muslimeen, all of whom are believing but levels of their beliefs are different. His beliefs are on a level that you are not on, and the level that you are on, he is never knowing about, and his level of faith you can never understand.          Wa li-kullin daraajaat mimma `amiloo wa maa rabbuka bi-ghaafilin `amaa ya`maloon, To all are degrees (or ranks) according to their deeds: for thy Lord is not unmindful of anything that they do. (6:132) Are you understanding Arabic or not? What does it mean wa li-kullin daraajaat? Allah Almighty is saying, for everyone there will be a level. Wa li-kullin, it is an ocean! We may ask daraajaat that belongs to Believers. One level, another level, another level. Therefore, for the people of Paradise, their Paradise is granted from Allah Almighty to them and you can't find the same. No, just 100% different. There may be billions of people,

trillions of people, quadrillion, pentillions; you can't find the Paradise of one to be the same for another. That is from the Greatness of the Lord of Heavens, Allah (swt)! Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) Because Allah Almighty is never using a photocopy machine. No, no, no. If you are looking in this world, so many homes, one never going to be similar from the inside to a second one. And Paradise is for Eternity. Darajaat. You can't find two people on the same level. Allahu akbar! (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits.) Daraajat, plural of darajah. Darajaat means "level," countless, countless, countless levels. Everything is kun fayakoon, "(Allah Almighty gives the holy command) 'Be!' and it is." Allah Almighty is only saying, kun fayakoon:           innamaa amruhoo idhaa araada shayan an yaqoola lahu kun fayakoon, But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that he saith unto it: Be! and it is. (36:82) O People! Try to learn about your Creator's Divine Attributes. Yes, darajaat. And the Holy Qur'an is an ocean, but not one ocean. Not only you, even prophets can't reach the limits, the fine points of the Holy Qur'an. O People! Appreciate the Holy Qur'an! You can learn everything without using technology. Technology is the dirtiness of Shaytan, making you to first appreciate that technology (above other things), yes. For example, this instrument (Internet) from technology is sending our humble meeting through east and west. It is such a surprising thing, but Allah Almighty is granting to His deputies; they are like Light Oceans. That is nothing! That is only sukhkhir, what Allah (swt) is giving to believers and unbelievers, to use this instrument of no value. But what Allah Almighty is granting to His valuable, honored, honorable, and glorified servants is such a power; that he may be able to command "Be!" for something and it will come into existence! O Salafi `ulamas! There is one hadith, you must know about that Hadith Qudsi. Don't say this is da`eef (weak) hadith. Allah `azza wa jall yaqool, yaa `abdee. (Allah, the Exalted and Magnificent says: "O My servant!") Rabbuna subhanahu wa t`aala, He is saying, "O all people! Yaa `abdee, a`atiyanee, O My servant! Obey me!" a`atiyanee ija`laka rabbaaniyyan. (Obey Me! I will make you "lordly"). What is the meaning of rabbaaniyyan? Taqoolu li-shayin kun, fayakoon (you say to a thing "Be!" and it will be). When Allah Almighty is giving such an honor and authority to that one, ij`aaluka rabbaniyyun taqoolu li-shay kun fayakoon! (I will make you "lordly", you say to a thing "Be!" and it will be). Sah (correct)? Wayhaq (Woe to you)! Wayhaq `ala

kulli bashiriyyah (woe to all humanity). First of all, including the Muslim world, and I am saying I am nothing, but they are making me to say to Salafi `ulamas, what is your opinion about that hadeeth qudsi? If you say it is not true, you may get out from Islam (murtaad, apostate)! I am nothing, but they are making me, such a useless one, to speak. Shoo `azhaamat, so glory on this hadith! "Yaa `abdee," are those who are not running after the pleasure of their physical beings! Himmatuhum, they are on highest level of effort, and thinking only to make their Lord happy with them. When are you going to be happy with your Lord? When you are going to be under His command? When your obediency's darajaat, so many levels, when you are reaching that level that you will be ahlun, suitable for that khitaab. Allah (swt) is saying to you, "Yaa `abdee!" Who is that one? Who is only for his Lord's `uboodiyyah, servanthood, only for his Lord, no obediency for their egos, Shaytan, dunya or hawa. O Salafi `ulamas! You are understanding? Say! And you are making a declaration that, "Shaykh is kharfaan, what he is saying is not true!" Can anyone say this? If so, in the morning you may find his dead body. Keep your tongues from (targeting) someone whose anger is coming from heavenly anger! When you are reaching to that level you can say for everything without using technology. Shame on muslimeen, wa `ala `ulamai 'l- muslimeen, particularly Salafi `ulamas! Why you are not speaking on the power of Islam, the power of imaan? You only know, "This is bida`, that is shirk!" No! Leave this; come and learn something else. Enough for your tuhmat, accusing people of shirk, kufr, bida`, haraam! Take them up. Can you carry them up? If you are under the seven levels of Earth, how are you going to carry people up to Seven Heavens? This day the fight is beginning, because the time is up for the Last Day, Yawm al-Qiyaamah (is near). O People! Think on it! Only pearls will be protected and their shells thrown away. Why you are not using your chance to be a pearl; (instead) you are being an empty shell. Ask yourselves, for what? O People! Not every egg bring chicks. This is an egg and that is an egg, but this one brings a chick. By itself, it cannot. A person can't reach the levels of heavens by himself; there must be muraafaqah (accompaniment), as a hen making muraafaqah with a rooster and bringing chicks. Why did the Lord of Heavens send 124,000 prophets? To put that pearl in your shell! Therefore, if hearts are locked there can't be anything in them. If hearts are open, the Seal of Prophets (s) can put in them the atom of a pearl (a treasure)! This is enough; it is an endless ocean! (Mawlana Shaykh stands.) May Allah (swt) forgive me and you, for the

Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. (Mawlana Shaykh stands) The heavenly sword for Muslims is Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem.

And marhaban bi Salafa 's-Saaliheen that you are giving that title to yourselves as Persian people are giving their learned people such heavy titles as "ayatullah" or "hujjatullah." They are such heavy titles that even huge mountains they can't carry such titles, to be said ayatullah, "Sign of God," or to be said hujjatullah, "Proof of God," all of that. But it is easy for Persian people to say this. Allah knows! Allah gives His judgment

for them and, wa li kulli imrim maa nawaa, "to every man is what he intended." Salafi `ulamas are also giving such an honor for themselves, saying, "We are Salafi `ulamas," but Salafi `ulamas just passed away, saying, "We are the only way of good people, better." When you are saying "Salafi `ulamas," it is not for everyone, you can't force them to say that you are Salafi `alim, no, but say, "We are followers of good ones," as Allah Almighty is saying: (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Asta`eedhu billah.          Yaa ayyuha 'Lladheena aamanoo ittaqullah wa koonu ma` as-saadiqeen. O you who believe! Fear Allah and be with those who are trustworthy (in word and deed). (at-Tawbah, 9:119) It is okay. No one is going to reject or object on it, no. (Mawlana Shaykh sits) Yes, it is easy and it is an order of Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty is not saying, "O People! Follow Salafi `ulamas," no! He is not saying this but you are saying, "We are Salafi `ulamas and people must follow us." I am asking, you may be Salafi `ulamas, but are you claiming that you are from saadiqeen, sincere and saadiq? Do you think that you can claim that, "We are of those people that Allah is saying, 'koonoo ma` as-saadiqeen.'" Are you understanding or not? What is the meaning of the Holy Qur'an where it says, koonoo seeghatu 'l-amr. It is heavenly order that you must be with true ones, and when the Lord of Heavens is saying "true ones" you must give (an explanation). What does it mean, to be true ones? How are they going to be true ones? What are their signs that they are true ones? True ones! Allah Allah. Koonoo ma` as-saadiqeen. And is there a holy hadith to make clear who are those true ones. Say! Who is your chief one? Say! Who are true ones? Yes. There is a holy hadeeth that belongs to Allah, Hadeeth Qudsi making it clear. If you don't know they are making me to speak that (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Allah Almighty jalla wa `alaa, Allah (swt) is saying:          Yaa `abdee ati`anee aj`aluka rabbaaniyyan taqoolu li shayyin kun fayakoon. O My servant! Obey Me and I will make you lordly; (if) you say to a thing "Be! And it will be." Allahu Akbar! (Mawlana Shaykh sits) Those are the true ones! You must ask to follow such people.

look after this. Don't think there are thousands or hundreds of thousands even now the ummah, the nation of the Seal of Prophets may be two billion. Alhamdulillah, that is the honor of Islam. But no-mind people, the non-Muslim world, are not understanding, and they are not thinking on it. If Islam is not a heavenly religion, how was one man, an orphan in the deserts of Arabia standing up and calling his people when he was 40-years-old, "Come hear and listen, Christian and Jewish people, and other nations must hear!" He was an orphan. His name was Muhammad (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Sayyidi 'l- Awwaleen wa ’l-`Akhireen, habeebu Rabbi 'l-`alameen wa khalifat ul-Haqq! (Mawlana Shaykh sits) In unknown deserts one boy was born. When his mother was pregnant, his father passed away. He was an orphan in the womb of his holy mother and after a while he was just born. And he was only 5 or 6-years-old when his mother passed away, and he was in such a position, with no father and no mother. But Allah Almighty made some people to look after him--his uncle Abu Talib, huwa Sayyid kaman (Abu Talib) is a chief, a master. He is Sayyid. And all awliya were witnesses when he said, "Laa ilaaha illa-Llah Muhammadun (s). You are RasoolAllah, heavenly one over all prophets. You are Habeebullah, Rasoolullah, Noor `Arshillah." And he breathed his last. There are so many discussions among `ulamas, and we are not listening. There is so much qeel wa qaal, "This one said this and this one said that." We are not making qeel wa qaal discussions. We have been granted something else for Abu Talib, for his imaan, his last breathing and finished. And that boy was well known in his tribe, he never spoke any lie. He was well known and the title Muhammad al-Ameen was given to him. He was so Ameen, the trustworthy one. Then, listen all religions' headquarters: he was with his nation for 40 years then the Lord of Heavens sent to him as the Divinely Attribute is to send a holy command through Archangel Gabriel (a), ruh al-ameen, sending to him a holy spirit, saying, "You are the chosen one here and Hereafter in the Divine Presence. You are granted such an honor that no one can reach, you are Muhammadun RasoolAllah." (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Raghman `alaa anf `alaa Wahaabiyyin wa Salafiyyin! (Mawlana Shaykh sits) Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah. O People! O our Attenders! Listen! Listen to be a perfect one. A perfect one is who is keeping their oath from the Day of Promises. To whom was the Lord of Heavens just addressing on the Day of Promises? It is impossible to hear the Lord's majestic, most majestic, most mighty, most glorified addressing. If they are

hearing, they are going to be on fire, burned, no one there. But who is carrying that power from the Lord of Heavens? No one, only one. (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Sayyidina Muhammad (s), `izzan wa sharafan nooran wa surooran, sultaanan wa ridwaana. Raghman `alaa anf Wahhabi, in spite of the noses of Wahhabis, and Salafiyeen and other non-Muslims. (Mawlana Shaykh sits) Hayyy, Hayyy, Hayyy, Hayyy, Hayyy, Hayyy, Hayyy, Hayyy, Hayyy, Hayyy, Hayyy. Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu. Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu, Huuuu. O People! Come and accept Truth! Who is not accepting Truth, their levels are the levels of animals. Follow the Seal of Prophets (s), and you will be honored by heavenly honors. You are calling people to be with you, Salafi `ulamas, but who are you with? Make it clear, who are you with? The holy command of Allah Almighty is saying wa koonoo ma` as-sadiqeen, who is sadiq, who are true ones? They are those ones that are mufti, sacrificing their souls for the honor of the Seal of Prophets (s). Allahumma arda an hum, Allah gives them much more honor. Where are we living? Where are `ulamas to make this for their nations, for Muslims, Muslims for other nations, Muslims to their nations? Yes that one, now it is 15 centuries or more, 16 centuries, and his order is going on! With whose command are you praying, Salafi `ulamas? Say! With whose honorable orders are you fasting, going on pilgrimage, going and making charities, for whom? For the honor of whom? Allah Almighty is Azaalan, Abaadan, from pre-Eternal to Eternal! He is not in need of our honor, no. All honor was just granted to His most honored one, khalifah, real deputy.      innee ja`ilun fi 'l-ardi kahleefah! "I will create a vicegerent on earth. (al-Baqara, 2:30) Haqq! At-tanween li 't-ta`zheem, This is a linguistic form for emphasizing the greatness, khalifatan. T`azheem, he is only one. Allah Almighty is not saying, innee ja`ilun fi 'l-ardi kulaafah. What do you think, for a king there are going to be several crown princes? Only one, so that from Creation, the crown prince must only be one, there can't be two and more, no, no only one. And that one is saying to his nation to come and to obey heavenly orders and heavenly orders they are reciting, giving to me to understand koonoo ma` as-saadiqeen, be with true ones.

I am saying, Salafi `ulamas, who is sadiq? What is their character and positions that they are going to be true ones? What are their signs? Allah Almighty is saying jalla wa `alaa, Yaa `abdee ati`yanee ija`alak rabbaaniyyan. "O My servant! Obey Me: I (will) make you lordly." Say! Don't worry! It is written in holy hadith books. If you are looking and not seeing, then research if it is true or someone is making it sanaee, false? Hashaa aqlan, yaanee our mentality is just saying it is 100% a true Hadeeth Qudsee that belongs to the Heavens. Allah Almighty is saying: (Mawlana Shaykh stands) "Yaa Abdee! O My servant! Ati`anee uhib, I like that you should be an obedient servant for everything, for Me! You must observe everything I ordered, 100% fully. Yaa abdee fee kulli umoor, for everything!" What is the honor going to be granted from the Lord of Heavens to that one? Allah Almighty is saying: ajaluka rabaniyan to be rabaniyeen, Lordly people. Try to be Rabbaaniyeen. It is better than to be Salafiyeen. Why are you not saying, "We are Rabbaaniyeen," it is better. Why are you not saying? I am asking all Salafi `ulamas, do you think that you are rabnaniyeen? Did Allah Almighty dress you to be Rabbaaniyeen? Hadha `abdee Ja`alatahu rabbaani nisbatun `alayy (this servant I made Lordly, relating him to Me). Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar `alaa man takabbar wa tajabbar. Where are `ulamas of Azhar, to make it clear, `ulamas of Sham, `ulamas of Baghdad, and `ulamas of Hind? Why are they not saying? They are running in some awdiyya, valleys that have no taste. Come to the main line. Why are you not making it clear for Mankind that what is the highest honor for Mankind? To be rabbaani. (Mawlana Shaykh sings) Rabbaani, Rabbaani, Rabbaani, Rabbaani, Rabbaani, Rabbaani. Rabbee Qaadir haydali? Where is your `ilm? Don't say marratan ukhraa, abadan, one more time never again that, "We are Salafiyeen." Say, "We are Rabbaaniyeen." What is the sign of being Rabbaani? What does Rabbu 'l-`Izza say, "O My servant! Obey Me and I will make you lordly. You say to a thing, 'Be,' and it will be." Books can be written on that. Those people whom Allah Almightyis ordering, be with them. Sadiqeen hum 'l-Rabbaaniyoon, the truthful are the Lordly people. Allah yaa Rabbee `alimna. Astaghfirullah. Send us someone from Your chosen ones to

OFFICIAL AND FORMAL ORGANIZATIONS are NOT REAL SUFI PATHS

Among the signs that a branch of a Sufi Tariqah has lost its connections to the roots, that it has been severed from the Source of Divine Wisdom is that the Tariqah begins to occupy its followers in various outward activities. These generally serve to distract from the realization that no one is receiving any real spiritual guidance; no one is progressing towards his destination of inner peace and spiritual stations. People who are seeking to fulfill some social, psychological or economic need may feel satisfied with membership in such organizations, as they are often highly coordinated and provide the appearance of material and emotional stability and security. But the true spiritual seeker will never feel satisfied with membership in such a group, as all Tariqahs that become official and formalized are no longer real Sufi Paths: the spiritual has been sacrificed for the temporal. Sometimes the followers of our Way express the wish that things should be more organized; but our organization is a higher organization, not like man-made ways. The difference is like that of a forest existing naturally on the mountainside with its trees growing at irregular intervals, and of a forest planted by men, with all the trees standing

uniformly spaced in neat and straight rows. Although to man’s eye the natural forest may seem chaotic, the ecological balance and subtle organization is real-perhaps much more so than in the planted forest. Which forest is lovelier and has a more calming effect on the soul? I think most people would find the natural one more pleasing. One will always find such “Sufi Organizations” engaged in organizing and trying to draw people into their circles so as to strengthen their communities by expanding their ranks. They usually manifest this tendency by establishing communities in one place and drawing people into it; again, often through the attractiveness of social, economic and psychological advantages provided by such a community. Our followers, particularly the American followers, have often asked me whether they too should not all gather in one place in the United States to live as a community. Whenever they
