hich is without any reward or punishment. For every work there is reward or punishment, either good or bad. The bad ones will not reach what they like here or Hereafter, and the good ones will and also they will find what they like in front of them. SubhaanAllah! Ask from Allah to make you firm on the True Path. Whatever is opposing this will be thrown away so that something else comes in its place and protects them. When inaayatullah, protection from Allah comes, the servant is not in need to manufacture anything or to fight with it. If Allah Almighty gives you something, the whole world cannot come against you. You will be able to throw them in the valley of destruction, which is known as a black hole, finished! No news will come from them and they will be taken away. The person who destroys himself does whatever he likes: `amal ma shi’tum. In the end they will be either in the world of light or the world of black holes, removed here and Hereafter. Wisdoms are with our Lord. His divine grants and the reason of His grants to His servant is that they have himmah, zeal, as they seek Him. The disobedient cannot find pleasure, rather there is only bitterness for them. They disappear from the Creation and never come back again except for Ahlu ’l-Iqrar, the Owner of Truth. They are protected by Allah Almighty for Eternity, to the extent that no one knows about. May Allah open our chests for us and widen our understanding, and show us the Light so we may walk with it, here and Hereafter! Return and seek that Light! It is a divine order, subhaanAllah, a holy verse:

Yawma yaqoolu ‘l-munafiqoona wa ‘l-munafiqaatu li ’Lladhina amanoo anzuroona naqtabis min noorikum qeela arji`u wara’akum faltmisoo nooran faduriba baynahum bisoorin lahu baabun baatinuhu fihi ar- rahmatu wa zhahiruhu min qibalihi al-`adhaab. One day will the hypocrites, men and women, say to the believers, "Wait for us! Let us borrow (a light) from your light!" It will be said, "Turn ye back to your rear! Then seek a light (where ye can)!" So a wall will be put up between them, with a gate therein. Within it will be mercy throughout, and without it, all alongside, will be (wrath and) punishment! (al-Hadid, 57:13) He asks His servant to follow the light, saying, “Don’t come to Me without the Light. If you come to Me without the light, I will throw you in the Fire.” Those who come with light will be guided to the Heavens and the world of Malakoot, (Heavenly Dominion) to the world of Jabaroot (Dominion of Divine Grandeur) and higher. The order for everyone from the beginning up to the end is, faltamisoo noora. This is the target from the Lord of Heavens and the Earth, Whose addressing and words are continuous, for Eternity. He is asking from His servants to follow the Light, but people only understand this dirty world and they run to reach things which have no value before the Lord Almighty. Allah Almighty wants to see whether His servant will come with Light or not. This is the order from Allah Almighty from the beginning until the end, and the prophets gave this message, “O People! Follow the light.” Did the people understand this? No. They only understand to run after dunya and that their hearts will be content with whatever is related to the world. They want to collect from the worldly pleasures, which are nothing! O People! Faltamisu noora! Don’t run after anything other than noor, because it has no value before the Lord of Honor and Might, (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Glorified and Almighty is He. O our Lord! Make us firm on the path of Truth and grant us understanding for the sake of Your Holy Prophet (s), to keep our steps and follow the Light, and to return to You with the Light. O Lord of the Heavens and the Earth! Fatihah. (Mawlans Shaykh sits)

O Muslims! Return to the Islamic Ways!
Suhbah after Jumu`ah As-salaamu `alaykum! Shaykh Hisham Effendi is tired because he was making khutbah and khutbatu mashaa-Allah, maa bayn al-mashaariq wal-maghaarib yusm`aa. Shaykh `Abdus-Salaam, he did a du`a, maqbool inshaa-Allah! Maa baqiyya, never remaining anything to say, only dancing here. If I am standing up people may be very happy to dance, but it doesn't matter! (laughter) Ayyuha ‘l-ghaafiloon! Ayyuha ‘l-humaqaa! O idiot ones from east to west! Allah, Allah. We are asking forgiveness from our Lord, our Creator, for the honor of the most honored one in His Divinely Presence, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Shafa`at yaa Rasoolullah (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh sits) As-salaamu `alaykum! And we are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem, humbly asking protection from the Heavenly Presence, as everyone there is an accepted one on their levels. They are making me address people from east to west, from north to south, to wake people up because now people are drunk. By drinking, their physical beings never understand anything; they remain at the level of animals. There is no thinking on the level of animals; they only enjoy themselves by eating and drinking. And now people are coming to the level of animals and their importance is only to eat, drink, and

enjoy. That is the common level of Mankind who are living just near the Day of Resurrection, yes. Nothing is more important for them except eating, drinking, dressing, riding, and enjoying their physical beings. All their care is only to make their physical being enjoy as much as possible. To reach that level they are quarrelling and fighting among themselves, so their physical being is going to be happy and they may take as much pleasure as possible. man tashabbah bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum. Who imitates a people is from them. (Muslim) O Salafi `ulama! Marhaban, marhaban! Don't you know that hadith nabawiyyatu ’sh-shareef, man tashabbah bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum? Do you know it or are you saying that it is also false? Oh you are such big `ulama, and you know too much, but you are never giving meanings for such a hadith, man tashabbah bi- qawmin fa huwa minhum. I never heard the Salafi `ulama, or doctors of Shari`ah, or Azhari Shareef `ulama speak about the hadith shareef that gives an exact meaning and shows a Straight Path as mentioned in the first surah in the Holy Qur'an. Allah Almighty is saying and wants to teach His creatures, Mankind. He wants to give that honor to them, to be His deputies on Earth. But are the Salafi `ulama not reciting Fatihatu ‘sh-Shareefah? What was He saying? How Allah Almighty is saying and teaching, O our Lord, ihdina ‘s-Siraat al-Mustaqeem, “Guide us on the Straight Path,” and that means, siraata ‘l-ladheena an`amta `alayhim, "the path of those with whom You are pleased.” That means there is a group of people who are keeping wasiyat Allah, heavenly advice. Allah Almighty is teaching, "O My servants! Hear, listen and obey. Ask Me to make you on the ways of siraata ‘l- ladheena an`amta `alayhim, the ways that I granted as a heavenly grant, and no one can grant what I am granting." That holy hadith shareef, man tashabbah bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum, is for people that are asking to do everything as those chosen ones are keeping. The Seal of Prophets (s) was saying, man tashabbah bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum. They know we are weak people and can't do as chosen ones of Mankind are doing, keeping the full rights and most praised ways for their Lord. But at least we must try to do something as those ones are doing. Therefore, “Who imitates a people is one of them.” Man may make himself happy temporarily by trying to imitate what the people of western countries or the

non-Muslim world are doing. From the Muslim world also, if you can find one percent (who are keeping an Islamic lifestyle) you would be happy. But mostly people are trying to imitate the non-Muslim world. That is forbidden for Muslims! This point is so important and our `ulama are never taking any care to wake up the Muslim world or teaching how Muslims should be; not to imitate the non-Muslim world! It is not an honor for Muslims to try to imitate the lives of the non-Muslim world. I never heard Salafi `ulama, other `ulama, or doctors of Shari`ah say, man tashabbah bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum. They are leaving Islamic sources and going to learn Islam from universities like Sorbonne, London, Toronto, Berlin, or Cambridge. For what?!! Are they putting Islamic flags on their buildings? What are their flags? Are they flags of Islam? Why are you going to ask for honor by belonging to them and saying, "We have a Sorbonne certificate." What is the value if they are not saying la ilaaha illa-Llah Sayyidina Muhammadun Rasoolullah (s)? (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits) If they are not saying this then what is their value? People now are without any mind! The “learned” Muslims have never really learned. If they were learned, then first they must learn about the unreachable distance, the honor of Islam; it is not on Earth, it is on a distance up to the skies. The honor that can't be reached with any means, it is only a grant for Muslim servants. Yes! It is an ocean! If we are going to speak on it, I think they will say, "Oh, my head aches." Tomorrow when you are entering your graveyard, you will know what is suda. When angels are coming and putting you in an iron coffin that is hot like fire, then you will know what are the graveyard’s conditions. You are going learn what is coming to you at that time. Don't shout here, but you must say, “O People! man tashabbah bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum.” And `aalamu ‘l- Islam, the Islamic world is just following the steps of the non-Muslim world. If Allah Almighty asks you, "O useless one! What did you teach My servants?" Are you not ashamed to make people run after non-Muslim lifestyles? Say! That is a very important point, man tashabbah bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum. Now all the people are running to be like western people, and that is baatil, false, never accepted! It can't be accepted! If they are placing their left foot first, you must step with the right foot, in everything. But now we are finished. Everyone is happy to be muqallid, to imitate European, American or Russian lifestyles. Tomorrow you will find a Russian style, Chinese style, European style, and then American style in your graveyard.

And the imaam will call, "Oh ulkul, man kharaja mina ‘d-daara ‘d-dunya ila ‘d-daari ‘l-akhirati shaahidan an laa ilaaha illa-Llah wa ashadu anna Muhammadun Rasoolullah.” (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits) And angels will say, kadhibta, "You are a liar!" The two angels that are recording everything for you, the Kiraam al-Kaatibeen will come as witnesses. They are coming, if not today then tomorrow; if not this month, then next month. If not this year, then next year or the end of your life, where you will be taken to the graveyard and angels will be waiting for you, asking. O People! Be Muslims and follow the ways of Muslims that the Seal of Prophets (s) brought from Heavens as your lifestyle. Where is your lifestyle, O Salafi `ulama, O mulook, kings? Where is the Islamic lifestyle in your palaces? Allah Almighty will ask! May Allah forgive us. Today is the first Jumu`ah, first Friday for holy month Rajabu Shahru-Llah. Try to come, step-by-step, back to the ways of Islamic life, and you will be saved here and Hereafter. If not, you will be punished before dying, in your graveyard, on the Day of Resurrection, and in Hell. May Allah forgive us. As-salaamu `alaykum! Fatihah. (addressing Shaykh Hisham) Barakaatak yaa Shaykh. Allah, Allah. Tawbah yaa Rabbee. Tawbah yaa Rabbee. Tawbah, astaghfirullah! Fatihah. Yaa Rabbee. Therefore, I am trying to bring horses and not to ride on American cars or English Ford cars or German Mercedes or, what’s that name, VW? They are not finding any other name, only saying WC! Tawbah, astaghfirullah, Tawbah, astaghfirullah! (Mawlana Shaykh laughs.) Marhaban, O Salafi `ulama. Fatihah. Lefke, 18.06.2010

Revive Your Spiritual Life
Not every man is human. Humanity is an honourable title, not everyone has a right to have it. This is why prophets were sent to us: to change our nature from being animals to becoming humans. Whoever is a follower of Heavenly Teachings will get power in their souls and will reach levels which can be called human. Whoever does not follow Heavenly Teachings will experience that their souls will get weaker and weaker and they will never be able to change their animal nature. On the contrary, the weakness will grow and they will become worse and worse. We all have an animalistic nature: we eat, drink, get married and have physical desires. If someone only lives for the sake of eating, drinking and sexual desires, he is on the same level as an animal. You cannot trust such a person, he can bite you at any moment. This is why we need the teachings of prophets on every step of the education: starting at the level of kindergarten children have to learn Heavenly Knowledge. Tell them which characteristics are good, which belong to humans and which are like animals. You must continue this education right up to university. Even professors should learn such things. Their title means nothing if they don't change their animalistic nature. In Heaven they will not be asked for their title, they will be asked for their level of humanity and if they have

done all they could to become better persons while on earth. Everyone will die. Our souls come from Heaven brought to us by an angel. In the same way an angel will bring our soul back when we die. When they reach the first of Seven Heavens, they will be asked, "Has this person changed his animalistic nature, or remained the same?" If he hasn't changed he will be kicked down. The doors of Heavens are not open to the ones who have lived like animals. This rule applies to everyone, whether they are English, French, Christian, Muslim, Jewish or Buddhist. It is only interesting if the person has changed his nature, or not. It is honourable to be a human, but animals will be kicked down again. Everyone must try because everyone will die and will be taken up. Jesus* is looking out for his nation, Muhammad* is looking for his nation, Moses* is looking for his. All of them are in Heaven. Only Jesus Christ* has his physical body there with him too, the Lord took him up to Heavens exactly the way he was. The other prophets have their physical beings in the graveyard in their tombs. Only their spiritual body is in Heaven. All of them look out when someone new is coming, to see which nation he belongs to. Then the prophet in charge of that nation has to check him but very often he cannot accept the level of the people coming. We must change our animalistic nature. We must try to take more care of our humanity and to improve from day to day. On our last day we must try to be the best. We are beginners and our goal should be to become the best. People nowadays think that just because they reached the 20th century, they have become angels. They want to continue in the same way into the next century just drinking, eating and enjoying themselves sexually. They do not consider to enter the new century in a clean way. They are preparing to transfer all the dirt of this century into the next. But according to Heavenly Knowledge that is impossible. The 21st century will not be dirty. It is enough that people in this century have made everything so dirty. Whoever have the intention of taking such a dirty life style with them into the next century, will not reach that century. So many dirty illnesses, actions, beliefs and ideas are filling up this century. I saw a writing on the wall in Peckham, 'Save our school!' I do understand what they want to say, but I don't understand why they don't write, 'Save our children!' instead, because that is the most important thing.

I saw another writing today, 'It is better to kill your speed than to kill a child!' People in this century are so worried about their physical death, they don't take any precautions for their spiritual life. They don't care whether they are alive spiritually, or not, and they do not care whether their children are. This is the case in all western societies, not only in England, and our foolish Muslim countries are trying to copy it. It is the source of every problem, crisis, war and evil. People are letting the satanic kingdom prosper and they are encouraging everyone to join in. At the same time they claim to have reached the top of civilisation. What a lie! From the animalistic point of view we are all alive. Prophets and holy people came to revive the spiritual part of us and make us able to enter Heavens. 01.01.1996

RIDE YOUR EGO to REACH TO THE DIVINE PRESENCE
May Allah not leave us in the hands of our dirty ego. Beware of your ego. It is your biggest enemy, cutting off your way to Allah. It says, “Serve me,” “Bow to me,” and “Leave every will and desire except for mine.” “I am everything, and your are my slave.” Worship and fasting is to take away your ego. To make it weak, then die. This is because as long as your ego gives orders, and you are working under its command, you wont be able to reach to anything from the Divine Presence. There is only one Sultan and you must be His servant. Tariqat is training for reaching to good manners. You must forget and oppose your ego, and then accept and be happy with the Will of your Lord. Don’t be heedless of glorifying your Lord, because then you will be imprisoned by your dirty ego, like a lion in a cage. For every moment that you are heedless, some damage or punishment comes to you. Even a short moment may become a curse on you. All people are so friendly with their egos. They ask of it, “What are you ordering?” “O my ego, O my sultan,” “Whatever you want, Whatever you wish, I must prepare it for

you” “I am your slave and you are my Sultan.”Finally, they will die, and their bodies will have a bad smell. The ego is a fully foolish one, but he is introducing himself as a mighty one. It says, “You must obey me,” “I don’t like any partner.” “I am the first and I am the last for you.” “All respect and praise that you give must be for me.” People are mostly lazy, and they are following their ego. (which is the laziest one amongst creatures.) Your physical being cannot reach to the vastness of the world. But your spiritual being, that is something else. As much as we grant it more, from heavenly worlds, our spiritual being may reach to this vastness. In the beginning, when Allah Almighty created our nafs, He said, “Go forward,” and the nafs went back. That is its nature, never to accept its Lords commands. Allah Almighty honoured man to be His servants, and his nafs always comes in the way, to prevent him from obeying his Lord. Every Prophet, brought methods from Allah Almighty, for training our ego so that we can say, “O my Lord, I surrender to you.” But your ego says to Allah, “No, I will not surrender.” When Allah asked our ego, “Who are you?”, the ego answered, “I am myself, and you are yourself.” “You are You, and I am myself.” So Allah Almighty ordered for the ego to be put in fire for one thousand years. He then took the ego out and asked it the same question. The ego replied, “You are You and I am that me.” So he was ordered to be put into the cold hell for one thousand years, after which he was asked, “Who are you?” and it answered in the same way as before. Then it was ordered to be put into the valley of hunger for one thousand years, after which he was again called and asked again this same question, and this time it replied, “You are my Lord, and I am your servant.” The ego always says, “I have Lordship.” Lordship is only for Allah. We are servants, but we do not want to declare that we are such! The Prophet Muhammad (sal) brought the order from Allah for fasting. When it comers to hunger the ego comes down, and says, “No longer am I claiming to be Lord in front of you.” “I am your weak servant, and you are my Lord.” The one who can’t control himself, is terrible and dangerous.

7404 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: RideYourEgo
Fasting gives you the capability to put control on your ego, so that it listens to you. You may say, “do” and it does, or say, “Stop,” and it stops. Therefore, from the beginning up to the end, fasting is the main pillar of servanthood. Without it no one may reach to be a real servant, because the ego is always winning otherwise. It takes a ride on your back and says, “Follow me.” Keep control of yourself, and try to have control of your ego. May Allah forgive us and give us the power and capability to control our ego’s. If Allah Almighty ordered for us to take a feather, or a flower, five times a day inside a mosque, or even just from one room to another, the ego would still object and say, “It is difficult,” and, “For what is this?” Your ego makes you to fear. It says, “I can’t control anger.” To swallow it at the beginning seems so difficult, but if you persist with the intention to swallow it, it will finally make you happy. You will say, “Ooh, it is so sweet, to keep myself from the harm of anger.” Allah is asking that we move up to heavenly levels, from worldly levels. The ego, enjoys worldly things, not spiritual things. (As the night does not benefit from the sun). Turn your body to face Qibla, and your soul to face heavens (Allah). The biggest favour from Allah is to be able to enter His divine presence. This is our last wish and hope. Ask to take away your ego, and what it is looking to. Stop asking to enjoy this world. He knows when we spend our physical power, for something which is not for Him, but for our ego’s happiness. We do this during the whole day, but our egos are never content. As much as you are working for your ego that much will be the burden you carry and it will be heavy. We do countless acts for the ego, and the ego ends up saying, “Ahh! what have you done for me?” Even if you were to work twenty-four hours a day to satisfy your ego, he will still say that you are a lazy one. If anyone were to give for Allah, what they give for their ego, they would be able to fly. You are more than a slave of your ego, but it says that you take no care for it. It is very
http://www.sufismus-online.de/RideYourEgo (3 von 11)04.07.2013 23:32:03

important to know that your ego (nafs) will never be pleased with you. But if you were to do just a small part of what you have been doing for your ego, for Allah instead, He will give you pleasure, satisfaction and hope through your heart, which will then run through your entire physical body. Which means your physical body will never die, or go to dust. In the grave it will never smell bad, and you will arrive on Judgment Day with the same body you had in this life. The will not be for others.. It will be known who the real believers, in Divine Service, were and who were for the service of their ego’s. The one who is spending his life’s powers for Divine Service will be honoured. My Grandsheikh Abdullah said that people are either asking to manifest themselves, or to vanish themselves. This is the summary of all shariats (heavenly laws). Take good care of this. Every person is doing one of these two things. Making his ego to grow up, or making it to vanish. What a person does is either the manifestation of his own existence, or the vanishing of his own existence. Everyone’s ego likes to manifest its existence, and it uses every possibility to bring itself into existence and say, “I am here.” The other choice is to vanish from your own existence. But mostly people, we may say ninety-nine from one hundred, prefer to manifest themselves. Allah Almighty desires from His servants, that they make themselves to vanish (Ifna’al- Wujud) You have to choose between these two things- to be with your animal, or to be with your Lord. The person who loves to manifest his ego can be thrown away with the rubbish. He is useless. Why do you think people are reluctant to come into Tariqat? If you stay with yourself, you can’t enter the Real Presence. Verily the God-fearing are in paradises, with rivers flowing, in a position of sincerity, in the presence of The All Powerful King (Quran). Al-Muktadi. The All Powerful. This name of Allah has an unreachable meaning, even to all Prophets, or by the power of all Awliya and Jinn. How many people have up to date died with their egos, and were buried with their animal? When you agree to leave your ego, our Grandsheikh will say, “Most welcome to our tariqat.” To enter the Holy Prophet Muhammad’s (sal) presence, it is obligatory to

hich is without any reward or punishment. For every work there is reward or punishment, either good or bad. The bad ones will not reach what they like here or Hereafter, and the good ones will and also they will find what they like in front of them. SubhaanAllah! Ask from Allah to make you firm on the True Path. Whatever is opposing this will be thrown away so that something else comes in its place and protects them. When inaayatullah, protection from Allah comes, the servant is not in need to manufacture anything or to fight with it. If Allah Almighty gives you something, the whole world cannot come against you.

O Muslims! Return to the Islamic Ways!
Suhbah after Jumu`ah As-salaamu `alaykum! Shaykh Hisham Effendi is tired because he was making khutbah and khutbatu mashaa-Allah, maa bayn al-mashaariq wal-maghaarib yusm`aa. Shaykh `Abdus-Salaam, he did a du`a, maqbool inshaa-Allah! Maa baqiyya, never remaining anything to say, only dancing here. If I am standing up people may be very happy to dance, but it doesn't matter! (laughter) Ayyuha ‘l-ghaafiloon! Ayyuha ‘l-humaqaa! O idiot ones from east to west! Allah, Allah. We are asking forgiveness from our Lord, our Creator, for the honor of the most honored one in His Divinely Presence, Sayyidina Muhammad (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Shafa`at yaa Rasoolullah (s)! (Mawlana Shaykh sits) As-salaamu `alaykum! And we are saying, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem, humbly asking protection from the Heavenly Presence, as everyone there is an accepted one on their levels. They are making me address people from east to west, from north to south, to wake people up because now people are drunk. By drinking, their physical beings never understand anything; they remain at the level of animals. There is no thinking on the level of animals; they only enjoy themselves by eating and drinking. And now people are coming to the level of animals and their importance is only to eat, drink, and

enjoy. That is the common level of Mankind who are living just near the Day of Resurrection, yes. Nothing is more important for them except eating, drinking, dressing, riding, and enjoying their physical beings. All their care is only to make their physical being enjoy as much as possible. To reach that level they are quarrelling and fighting among themselves, so their physical being is going to be happy and they may take as much pleasure as possible. man tashabbah bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum. Who imitates a people is from them. (Muslim) O Salafi `ulama! Marhaban, marhaban! Don't you know that hadith nabawiyyatu ’sh-shareef, man tashabbah bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum? Do you know it or are you saying that it is also false? Oh you are such big `ulama, and you know too much, but you are never giving meanings for such a hadith, man tashabbah bi- qawmin fa huwa minhum. I never heard the Salafi `ulama, or doctors of Shari`ah, or Azhari Shareef `ulama speak about the hadith shareef that gives an exact meaning and shows a Straight Path as mentioned in the first surah in the Holy Qur'an. Allah Almighty is saying and wants to teach His creatures, Mankind. He wants to give that honor to them, to be His deputies on Earth. But are the Salafi `ulama not reciting Fatihatu ‘sh-Shareefah? What was He saying? How Allah Almighty is saying and teaching, O our Lord, ihdina ‘s-Siraat al-Mustaqeem, “Guide us on the Straight Path,” and that means, siraata ‘l-ladheena an`amta `alayhim, "the path of those with whom You are pleased.” That means there is a group of people who are keeping wasiyat Allah, heavenly advice. Allah Almighty is teaching, "O My servants! Hear, listen and obey. Ask Me to make you on the ways of siraata ‘l- ladheena an`amta `alayhim, the ways that I granted as a heavenly grant, and no one can grant what I am granting." That holy hadith shareef, man tashabbah bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum, is for people that are asking to do everything as those chosen ones are keeping. The Seal of Prophets (s) was saying, man tashabbah bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum. They know we are weak people and can't do as chosen ones of Mankind are doing, keeping the full rights and most praised ways for their Lord. But at least we must try to do something as those ones are doing. Therefore, “Who imitates a people is one of them.” Man may make himself happy temporarily by trying to imitate what the people of western countries or the

non-Muslim world are doing. From the Muslim world also, if you can find one percent (who are keeping an Islamic lifestyle) you would be happy. But mostly people are trying to imitate the non-Muslim world. That is forbidden for Muslims! This point is so important and our `ulama are never taking any care to wake up the Muslim world or teaching how Muslims should be; not to imitate the non-Muslim world! It is not an honor for Muslims to try to imitate the lives of the non-Muslim world. I never heard Salafi `ulama, other `ulama, or doctors of Shari`ah say, man tashabbah bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum. They are leaving Islamic sources and going to learn Islam from universities like Sorbonne, London, Toronto, Berlin, or Cambridge. For what?!! Are they putting Islamic flags on their buildings? What are their flags? Are they flags of Islam? Why are you going to ask for honor by belonging to them and saying, "We have a Sorbonne certificate." What is the value if they are not saying la ilaaha illa-Llah Sayyidina Muhammadun Rasoolullah (s)? (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits) If they are not saying this then what is their value? People now are without any mind! The “learned” Muslims have never really learned. If they were learned, then first they must learn about the unreachable distance, the honor of Islam; it is not on Earth, it is on a distance up to the skies. The honor that can't be reached with any means, it is only a grant for Muslim servants. Yes! It is an ocean! If we are going to speak on it, I think they will say, "Oh, my head aches." Tomorrow when you are entering your graveyard, you will know what is suda. When angels are coming and putting you in an iron coffin that is hot like fire, then you will know what are the graveyard’s conditions. You are going learn what is coming to you at that time. Don't shout here, but you must say, “O People! man tashabbah bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum.” And `aalamu ‘l- Islam, the Islamic world is just following the steps of the non-Muslim world. If Allah Almighty asks you, "O useless one! What did you teach My servants?" Are you not ashamed to make people run after non-Muslim lifestyles? Say! That is a very important point, man tashabbah bi-qawmin fa huwa minhum. Now all the people are running to be like western people, and that is baatil, false, never accepted! It can't be accepted! If they are placing their left foot first, you must step with the right foot, in everything. But now we are finished. Everyone is happy to be muqallid, to imitate European, American or Russian lifestyles. Tomorrow you will find a Russian style, Chinese style, European style, and then American style in your graveyard.

And the imaam will call, "Oh ulkul, man kharaja mina ‘d-daara ‘d-dunya ila ‘d-daari ‘l-akhirati shaahidan an laa ilaaha illa-Llah wa ashadu anna Muhammadun Rasoolullah.” (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits) And angels will say, kadhibta, "You are a liar!" The two angels that are recording everything for you, the Kiraam al-Kaatibeen will come as witnesses. They are coming, if not today then tomorrow; if not this month, then next month. If not this year, then next year or the end of your life, where you will be taken to the graveyard and angels will be waiting for you, asking. O People! Be Muslims and follow the ways of Muslims that the Seal of Prophets (s) brought from Heavens as your lifestyle. Where is your lifestyle, O Salafi `ulama, O mulook, kings? Where is the Islamic lifestyle in your palaces? Allah Almighty will ask! May Allah forgive us. Today is the first Jumu`ah, first Friday for holy month Rajabu Shahru-Llah. Try to come, step-by-step, back to the ways of Islamic life, and you will be saved here and Hereafter. If not, you will be punished before dying, in your graveyard, on the Day of Resurrection, and in Hell. May Allah forgive us. As-salaamu `alaykum! Fatihah. (addressing Shaykh Hisham) Barakaatak yaa Shaykh. Allah, Allah. Tawbah yaa Rabbee. Tawbah yaa Rabbee. Tawbah, astaghfirullah! Fatihah. Yaa Rabbee. Therefore, I am trying to bring horses and not to ride on American cars or English Ford cars or German Mercedes or, what’s that name, VW? They are not finding any other name, only saying WC! Tawbah, astaghfirullah, Tawbah, astaghfirullah! (Mawlana Shaykh laughs.) Marhaban, O Salafi `ulama. Fatihah. Lefke, 18.06.2010

Revive Your Spiritual Life
Not every man is human. Humanity is an honourable title, not everyone has a right to have it. This is why prophets were sent to us: to change our nature from being animals to becoming humans. Whoever is a follower of Heavenly Teachings will get power in their souls and will reach levels which can be called human. Whoever does not follow Heavenly Teachings will experience that their souls will get weaker and weaker and they will never be able to change their animal nature. On the contrary, the weakness will grow and they will become worse and worse. We all have an animalistic nature: we eat, drink, get married and have physical desires. If someone only lives for the sake of eating, drinking and sexual desires, he is on the same level as an animal. You cannot trust such a person, he can bite you at any moment. This is why we need the teachings of prophets on every step of the education: starting at the level of kindergarten children have to learn Heavenly Knowledge. Tell them which characteristics are good, which belong to humans and which are like animals. You must continue this education right up to university. Even professors should learn such things. Their title means nothing if they don't change their animalistic nature. In Heaven they will not be asked for their title, they will be asked for their level of humanity and if they have

done all they could to become better persons while on earth. Everyone will die. Our souls come from Heaven brought to us by an angel. In the same way an angel will bring our soul back when we die. When they reach the first of Seven Heavens, they will be asked, "Has this person changed his animalistic nature, or remained the same?" If he hasn't changed he will be kicked down. The doors of Heavens are not open to the ones who have lived like animals. This rule applies to everyone, whether they are English, French, Christian, Muslim, Jewish or Buddhist. It is only interesting if the person has changed his nature, or not. It is honourable to be a human, but animals will be kicked down again. Everyone must try because everyone will die and will be taken up. Jesus* is looking out for his nation, Muhammad* is looking for his nation, Moses* is looking for his. All of them are in Heaven. Only Jesus Christ* has his physical body there with him too, the Lord took him up to Heavens exactly the way he was. The other prophets have their physical beings in the graveyard in their tombs. Only their spiritual body is in Heaven. All of them look out when someone new is coming, to see which nation he belongs to. Then the prophet in charge of that nation has to check him but very often he cannot accept the level of the people coming. We must change our animalistic nature. We must try to take more care of our humanity and to improve from day to day. On our last day we must try to be the best. We are beginners and our goal should be to become the best. People nowadays think that just because they reached the 20th century, they have become angels. They want to continue in the same way into the next century just drinking, eating and enjoying themselves sexually. They do not consider to enter the new century in a clean way. They are preparing to transfer all the dirt of this century into the next. But according to Heavenly Knowledge that is impossible. The 21st century will not be dirty. It is enough that people in this century have made everything so dirty. Whoever have the intention of taking such a dirty life style with them into the next century, will not reach that century. So many dirty illnesses, actions, beliefs and ideas are filling up this century. I saw a writing on the wall in Peckham, 'Save our school!' I do understand what they want to say, but I don't understand why they don't write, 'Save our children!' instead, because that is the most important thing.

I saw another writing today, 'It is better to kill your speed than to kill a child!' People in this century are so worried about their physical death, they don't take any precautions for their spiritual life. They don't care whether they are alive spiritually, or not, and they do not care whether their children are. This is the case in all western societies, not only in England, and our foolish Muslim countries are trying to copy it. It is the source of every problem, crisis, war and evil. People are letting the satanic kingdom prosper and they are encouraging everyone to join in. At the same time they claim to have reached the top of civilisation. What a lie! From the animalistic point of view we are all alive. Prophets and holy people came to revive the spiritual part of us and make us able to enter Heavens. 01.01.1996

RIDE YOUR EGO to REACH TO THE DIVINE PRESENCE
May Allah not leave us in the hands of our dirty ego. Beware of your ego. It is your biggest enemy, cutting off your way to Allah. It says, “Serve me,” “Bow to me,” and “Leave every will and desire except for mine.” “I am everything, and your are my slave.” Worship and fasting is to take away your ego. To make it weak, then die. This is because as long as your ego gives orders, and you are working under its command, you wont be able to reach to anything from the Divine Presence. There is only one Sultan and you must be His servant. Tariqat is training for reaching to good manners. You must forget and oppose your ego, and then accept and be happy with the Will of your Lord. Don’t be heedless of glorifying your Lord, because then you will be imprisoned by your dirty ego, like a lion in a cage. For every moment that you are heedless, some damage or punishment comes to you. Even a short moment may become a curse on you. All people are so friendly with their egos. They ask of it, “What are you ordering?” “O my ego, O my sultan,” “Whatever you want, Whatever you wish, I must prepare it for

you” “I am your slave and you are my Sultan.”Finally, they will die, and their bodies will have a bad smell. The ego is a fully foolish one, but he is introducing himself as a mighty one. It says, “You must obey me,” “I don’t like any partner.” “I am the first and I am the last for you.” “All respect and praise that you give must be for me.” People are mostly lazy, and they are following their ego. (which is the laziest one amongst creatures.) Your physical being cannot reach to the vastness of the world. But your spiritual being, that is something else. As much as we grant it more, from heavenly worlds, our spiritual being may reach to this vastness. In the beginning, when Allah Almighty created our nafs, He said, “Go forward,” and the nafs went back. That is its nature, never to accept its Lords commands. Allah Almighty honoured man to be His servants, and his nafs always comes in the way, to prevent him from obeying his Lord. Every Prophet, brought methods from Allah Almighty, for training our ego so that we can say, “O my Lord, I surrender to you.” But your ego says to Allah, “No, I will not surrender.” When Allah asked our ego, “Who are you?”, the ego answered, “I am myself, and you are yourself.” “You are You, and I am myself.” So Allah Almighty ordered for the ego to be put in fire for one thousand years. He then took the ego out and asked it the same question. The ego replied, “You are You and I am that me.” So he was ordered to be put into the cold hell for one thousand years, after which he was asked, “Who are you?” and it answered in the same way as before. Then it was ordered to be put into the valley of hunger for one thousand years, after which he was again called and asked again this same question, and this time it replied, “You are my Lord, and I am your servant.” The ego always says, “I have Lordship.” Lordship is only for Allah. We are servants, but we do not want to declare that we are such! The Prophet Muhammad (sal) brought the order from Allah for fasting. When it comers to hunger the ego comes down, and says, “No longer am I claiming to be Lord in front of you.” “I am your weak servant, and you are my Lord.” The one who can’t control himself, is terrible and dangerous.

Fasting gives you the capability to put control on your ego, so that it listens to you. You may say, “do” and it does, or say, “Stop,” and it stops. Therefore, from the beginning up to the end, fasting is the main pillar of servanthood. Without it no one may reach to be a real servant, because the ego is always winning otherwise. It takes a ride on your back and says, “Follow me.” Keep control of yourself, and try to have control of your ego. May Allah forgive us and give us the power and capability to control our ego’s. If Allah Almighty ordered for us to take a feather, or a flower, five times a day inside a mosque, or even just from one room to another, the ego would still object and say, “It is difficult,” and, “For what is this?” Your ego makes you to fear. It says, “I can’t control anger.” To swallow it at the beginning seems so difficult, but if you persist with the intention to swallow it, it will finally make you happy. You will say, “Ooh, it is so sweet, to keep myself from the harm of anger.” Allah is asking that we move up to heavenly levels, from worldly levels. The ego, enjoys worldly things, not spiritual things. (As the night does not benefit from the sun). Turn your body to face Qibla, and your soul to face heavens (Allah). The biggest favour from Allah is to be able to enter His divine presence. This is our last wish and hope. Ask to take away your ego, and what it is looking to. Stop asking to enjoy this world. He knows when we spend our physical power, for something which is not for Him, but for our ego’s happiness. We do this during the whole day, but our egos are never content. As much as you are working for your ego that much will be the burden you carry and it will be heavy. We do countless acts for the ego, and the ego ends up saying, “Ahh! what have you done for me?” Even if you were to work twenty-four hours a day to satisfy your ego, he will still say that you are a lazy one. If anyone were to give for Allah, what they give for their ego, they would be able to fly. You are more than a slave of your ego, but it says that you take no care for it. It is very
http://www.sufismus-online.de/RideYourEgo (3 von 11)04.07.2013 23:32:03
7405 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: RideYourEgo
important to know that your ego (nafs) will never be pleased with you. But if you were to do just a small part of what you have been doing for your ego, for Allah instead, He will give you pleasure, satisfaction and hope through your heart, which will then run through your entire physical body. Which means your physical body will never die, or go to dust. In the grave it will never smell bad, and you will arrive on Judgment Day with the same body you had in this life. The will not be for others.. It will be known who the real believers, in Divine Service, were and who were for the service of their ego’s. The one who is spending his life’s powers for Divine Service will be honoured. My Grandsheikh Abdullah said that people are either asking to manifest themselves, or to vanish themselves. This is the summary of all shariats (heavenly laws). Take good care of this. Every person is doing one of these two things. Making his ego to grow up, or making it to vanish. What a person does is either the manifestation of his own existence, or the vanishing of his own existence. Everyone’s ego likes to manifest its existence, and it uses every possibility to bring itself into existence and say, “I am here.” The other choice is to vanish from your own existence. But mostly people, we may say ninety-nine from one hundred, prefer to manifest themselves. Allah Almighty desires from His servants, that they make themselves to vanish (Ifna’al- Wujud) You have to choose between these two things- to be with your animal, or to be with your Lord. The person who loves to manifest his ego can be thrown away with the rubbish. He is useless. Why do you think people are reluctant to come into Tariqat? If you stay with yourself, you can’t enter the Real Presence. Verily the God-fearing are in paradises, with rivers flowing, in a position of sincerity, in the presence of The All Powerful King (Quran). Al-Muktadi. The All Powerful. This name of Allah has an unreachable meaning, even to all Prophets, or by the power of all Awliya and Jinn. How many people have up to date died with their egos, and were buried with their animal? When you agree to leave your ego, our Grandsheikh will say, “Most welcome to our tariqat.” To enter the Holy Prophet Muhammad’s (sal) presence, it is obligatory to
