a stone, becomes more dear than the one sitting on a throne. You are sitting on a throne, wanting to show greatness, with your guards, thrones, clothes. This is useless. When the greatness comes down on you from heavens, the ones who see you may tremble - Oh something is happening to me. Who is this person? Don't ask. Fear comes into my heart when I see him. Hay hay, fear comes. This is a poor servant of Allah but He dressed him with dress of heybet(majesty). Your gold and silver decorated dresses are useless for you, can't give you majesty, but this man wearing an old jubba (cloak) and a takkah(cap) with a turban wrapped around it, is someone accepted/appreciated in front of his Creator. It's a thousand times better than your golden crown. The crown he wears is the Prophet's crown. Those who are called Hodjas, why don't you put Prophet's crown on your head? If they shaved the mane of the lion what would it be like? It wouldn't even look like a cat. Why do these hodjas shave their beards? Are they not ashamed from Allah, and nor from the Prophet (saw)? Why don't you put the crown of the Prophet on your head? Why don't you dress like the Prophet did? You don't but one day you will get it in the neck. It is changing. It is changing. The days of change are coming, coming with a whip.There are the ones coming from heavens with their whip! You can see their whip but not them. Fear from Allah! Don't say I am king, I am prince, I am president. Don't say I am on my throne. Keep your adab (manners)! Otherwise you will get a slap on your face, the shape of your face may change, you won't be able to move your arms & legs. Fear Allah! Keep the way of our Prophet! Ey yaran, ey fukaralar, ey poor ones, ey friends,make friends with poor ones. Don't seek closeness to rich ones and leaders. Look for the ones who have light and are acceptable to their Lord, they may take your burden, may teach you. Say Bismillahir rahmanir rahim. With BismiLlahir Rahmanir Rahim you can shake the world. French armies were bombarding Damascus from the hills of Mazra. A bomb was coming towards the tomb of Sayyidina Yahya, when it came near, a hand came out of the tomb and threw it back to the hills of Mazra. You may believe it or not.The ones who believe win.The ones who dont lose. Be like a jewel. My Lord, I am your weak servant. I am looking for Your servants who can teach me adab! May You send us,our Lord! We are in the hands of tyrants, those who see themselves as giants. If only one of the Holy ones asks from his Lord to break the chair on their head, it will be broken. They will lie down dead. You must know that this is the

way, ey Yaran. I am talking to you my daughter, may my daughter-in-law listen too. Mother-in-law is telling this for her daughter-in-law. I am telling something to my daughter so that my daughter in law may understand. I am not addressing them directly. Be clean, look for Light(Nur).What did Allah(swt) say we should look for? Ey scholars, ey princes, ey kings, What did Janab Allah say in Holy Quran that we should look for? You all read The Holy Quran. Allah(swt) commands: "Faltamisu Nura"(57:13) He is saying look for Light(noor). Is anyone of you looking for it? All of you are after Dunya(world). But the Dunya is a carcass. Going after carcass, you become carcass. Pity! They are not wearing the crown of the Holy Prophet(sas) on their head. Nothing is on their head. New fashion, Hodjas are like movie stars. A movie star or Hodja(imam)?! Bre, hasha minal hudur, if you shave the mane of a lion, what does it look like? It looks like a monkey. Why don't these hodjas keep the Sunnah of our Prophet? Trousers,jackets and ties they wear. A tie which is a sign of Christianity! Those unreasonable Christians keep crucifying Prophet Isa, continually. Doesn't it represent this incident? Pretended to be. Be ashamed of yourselves! A Prophet has honor. Above all this, you call him god or, son of god and then you crucify him. What is this? Such an empty claim? Aman yahu, ey our friend, teach us adab(manners). Our people are imitating them. Statues are everywhere. Who has ever found any benefit from statues? Go to Egypt and look! Mursi of Egypt or Mursi of Egypt. Have a look how the statues of the Pharaohs are sitting. A man is so small compared to those statues. What benefit did those statues give to Pharoah? You will leave behind a smelly dead body that, the washer will wish to keep away from. Allah is ordering to 'be clean', "ŸãWa Tatahharu" Wash yourselves and be clean. Whose divan,whose property are you in? Be clean! "Inama-l Mushrikina Najasan"(9:28)-Hypocrits are unclean. Those who leave Allah and make up other gods or idols to respect are unclean, dirty. They have no value. Allah is ordering you, oh people, "Faltamisu Nura"(57:13)Look for Light(nur).Are any of you looking? Oh Sheikh Effendi, how?! We are looking for petrol! Allah(jj) orders "Faltamisu Nura"(57:13). Our Arabs, our Turks,are Faltamisu (looking for) petrol. Where is there petrol? They used to call petroleum. Looking for petrol! You are created to look for it? Iranians are

proud to be called oil tycoons. Princes, kings are proud of this too. 'We are petrol tycoons'they are saying. They became Petrol tycoons. Qadhafi was also saying "I am king of petrol". "I am number one in petrol business". Petrol became his curse. They killed him by hitting his head. Oh people, specially kings and scholars, and princes, this addressing is to you: Is Allah saying "Faltamisu Petrol"? Strange! "Faltamisu Nura"(57:13). Allah says:Look for Divine Light. He doesnt say: Look for petrol,oil. Look for Divine Light which Allah gives you; light without petrol. Does the Sun uses petrol for its light? Where does the Sun get its energy? Each day is oil is filled into the Sun so that it can gives light? Why don't you think? Our Prophet (sas) said to reflect an hour is better than 7 years of worship -Tafakkur sa'atan Khayrun min Ibadatu Saba'ina Sanah. To think on these subjects,needs to be paid attention. You think, "I have seated myself on my fine chair, I'm not descending. "One day it will be broken on your head because you looked for seats of honour and petrol, but not Light. Your efforts are useless, you will have to leave in shame. They leave Allah Jalla Jalaluhu Wa Jallat Azamatahu. They leave the orders of Allah, when Allah says"Faltamisu Nura"(57:13) Our people say "no,what shall we do with the Divine Light?" We are looking for oil and petrol. We will sell them and become rich, like Iranians. Iranians say: We are petrol tycoons - we became rich by selling petrol. You will be drowned in your petrol. Oh people, "Hal Min Muddakir?" - Is there anyone among you who reflects? "Faltamisu Nura"(57:13). Look for Divine Light. Who are the owners of light? Our Holy Prophet(saw),who is the Sultan of all prophets. You must look for his light. Who has his light? Nur(divine light)that will revive you. Whoever sees you will tremble. One of the kings said: Who brought this man here? I cannot look at his face, I am trembling. That man is a simple dervish! If he is not rich why did you bring him here? These are not the ones looking for oil on Earth. These are the blessed ones who are looking for the treasures of heavens, so heavenly titles and divine light are dressed on them. They are not like you. You will drown in your oil reserves. This petrol will be your curse. Leave it. All corruption is because of it but their mind is full with nothing else but oil. Petrol smells bad. They are happy with the smell of petrol. "We searched and found petrol." With petrol one does not become human. Allah has not created you to run after petrol. Faltamisu Zayt - search for oil Faltamisu Nift - search for petrol? He didnt say that but said - FaltamisuNura (57:13).O kings

dont you understand? O kings of the Arabs,does Allah order to search for petrol? Or does He order: "Faltamisu Nura"(57:13)? "Oh my servants look for divine light(noor)" Oh our Lord forgive us. Lets say Bismillahir rahmanir rahim. There are the oceans of divine Light, oceans of divine Light. They say we did this & that. Whatever you did if it is not for Allah's sake it is useless. Your food, your seats, your palaces and mansions give you nothing. You may find yourself in horror! Seekers of Nur may go anywhere they want,no one can disturb them but those who look for petrol have many enemies. They want to make them fall because they want their place. Look how beautiful! Ey yaran,ey friend! Ad-Dinu n-Nasihatu. Religion is good advice. They are making me to speak these words. They collect it from here and there and inspire it into my heart. I am not reading from the books to tell you but from what is poured into my heart. These words I tell you come from my heart where there are oceans of them. If you want the sultanate of Akhirat say Bismillahir rahmanir rahim. Oh our Lord enlighten our faces, give us strength. May we run after the honor of being a servant to You. May we not run after building mansions and palaces. May we tell of the beauties of being on Your way so that we may bring Your servants back to the right path. That is what we want. The world has decieved so many people by saying I am yours but finally they found out differently - wrapped up inside a coffin, carried in a funeral ceremony, some with bands, some with songs, finally buried deep down into the black earth. What waits for you in the grave will not make you happy! Oh people if you are human, think on it. It is said: To reflect 1 hour is better than to be busy with dunya 70 years. This is how the doors will be opened for you. This is the Will of Allah(swt). Teach this.Our scholars are not saying anything.Ey people,ey Mursi, watch your chair not be broken on your head. O High ones of Iran, O those who destroyed Damascus,beware! One day your seats may be broken on your heads. Your dead body may be dragged in the streets because you have no divine Light & didnt look for it. People seek the owners of divine Light. Who has it? "Faltamisu Nura"(57:13). The divine Light is within the Holy Ones (clean ones). Nur is within the holy ones who walk the way of the Holy Prophet. Dont take offense, I ask no wages, no salaries. I ask for The Divine Light. May Allah cast the divine Nur within us so that we will not be ugly and ashamed on the Day of Resurrection. We want to have lighted faces & clean hearts in the presence of Rabbul Alamin.

Oppressors are giving trouble. What they do is satan's business. May Allah keep them away. Come and say Akmaluddin Bey, where are you? Hearing me? Am I wrong? If you say I am wrong your grave will be ready the following day. Our people say there are some people with whom you must watch your manners and avoid hurting them. If you don't revenge comes from Heavens. Lightening, visible or invisible may strike you. Beware,beware! May Allah save us from our bad egos. Search for Nur and ask for it, Our Prophet Aleyhis Salatu ves Selam, brought the Light. You all read The Holy Quran. The Holy Quran is the ocean of Divine Light Why are you leaving it for something else? What is this fury and pride? Stop it. Obey the Divine Light Allah sent you! Oh our Lord forgive us! Tawba Ya Rabbi!Send us the Sultan who will destroy the kingdom of satan. The Sultan who will give rights to those who have them. Injustice is everywhere. Oppression is drowning people. Oppression everywhere. Islamic world is like this. Unbeliever world is like this. Oh our Lord forgive us! Send us Your holy ones who will shed on us Your Divine Light. Send us Vaktin Sahibi,the Sultan, who will teach us Your Divine orders; who will open the ways of HabibAllah! Send us Mahdi(as) Ya Rabbi! Wa liLlahi l-Hamd. Ey yaran, ey friends, The ones making me speak gave me a bit of divine Anger. Dont take offense Make tawba(ask forgiveness), Recite at least 70 Astagfirullah. Say at least 40 times "Bismillahir rahmanir rahim." Pray your five daily prayers. You will be safe. If you don't do this, you will be swept away. O ladies don't put on your makeup and fancy dresses and go around. If so, your smell will be very bad when you are being buried. Cover yourselves. Don't use wordly perfumes then the angels will bathe you in heavenly perfumes. What a nice smell! What a beautiful woman! Ladies for their husbands only, not for other men! Allah orders like this! If not keeping this advice you will become ugly! Aman Ya Rabbi, tawba Ya Rabbi. We are waiting for Sultan! Sultan gonder, sahip gonder Mevlamız. Send us the Sultan who will keep us.

Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Because of troubles in the Turkish Republic, I shall tell you some inspirations that have come to my heart. I am a weak servant of Allah (swt). I am one of those who know our recent history. Shukur Allah. My condition is due to my old age. We have information and also we have inspirations. The other night, because of that Nawruz-Spring... people fought with each other in the eastern cities. I was sorry about this. Now, I want to say a couple of words. Don't look at who is speaking, look at Who is making me speak. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Don't start anything without Bismillah. It is useless. For how many days my condition wasn't good? I didn't have power to even talk. But with Allah Almighty's grace, with Shifa'at of his highness Sultan al Anbiya'... and prayer, support from Awliyas... I started to pull myself together a little bit. Insha Allah my hope is that I will destroy Kufr-unbelief and I will talk with Mahdi (as). G: Amin insha Allah altogether. Because of the chaos of Nawruz- Spring, some wisdom is coming to my heart. I'm a weak servant of Allah but we have inspirations. As my grandson... you studied law. I'm going to ask you some questions about this. I

shall give the answer inshallah. Now, you are a graduate of law school, our grandson. May Allah (swt) give all of us khayr. I have a question. What is the description of a government? What is the attribute of a government? What can a government do? I shall say and you listen then. The government... A government is an authority which protects the people, encourages them to treat each other with kindness, governs people and represents power. Is there anything wrong? Haqq. Because of the chaos in the Eastern cities, I felt sorry. Why isn't the government able to govern its people? Government has power and governs people. If it can't govern people, then it is not a government. When I look at that chaos, the government can't control people. Which means there's no government. A government has the power... to order people. It has police, soldiers, and the army. If you can't control people with all this power... you aren't considered as a state in a particular region. Which means Turkey lost its honor of being a government. What if all people rise up? A government has the power to govern its people. If not, then it is not a government. Turkey since it is establishment, couldn't govern its people. Before that, the Sultan had power, majesty, will-power. Turkey has neither power nor majesty, nor will-power. This is not a state. The Ottoman Empire ruled people for 700 years, with the will-power of the Sultan. Everyone feared Sultan. Who fears the president, deputy, the parliament? Who respects the army? That means, Turkey lost its ability to be a state. All countries, which banished their Sultans, are in trouble. None of them can govern its people. "You are you, I am me" they say. Egypt, Libya, Tunusia, Algeria, Morocco, Syria is like that. Iraq, Iran is like that. All Arab Peninsula, all African people are like that. They don't have any power. "You are you, I am me" people say. Who are you? I go out in the streets, I burn, I destroy... I kill. If you can stop us, then do it. Was it possible to do so, during the Sultanate? Impossible. Because the state was standing up with the Sultan. This democracy it's what they made from their mind. It's dirty, dirtiness everywhere they are trying to put it to rule them. You pass these things now! They are not saying anyone else is good, We are better than you. No Sultan! Then the Majesty of the Sultanate.. What they called this democracy is rubbish people. The one who has the will-power is 1000 levels higher. The will-power is with 1 person. The will-power of 100 people is not the same as this one person with power. In one class how many people rule? The teacher rules. Is anyone else there? If someone else interferes it messes everything. That is why until these people, who call for democracy,
http://www.sufismus-online.de/SeekYourSultan (2 von 4)04.07.2013 23:33:16
7799 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: SeekYourSultan
shaytanic, mental production, they are following dunya & their dunya is not dunya & their Akhirat is not good. My advice is that Turkey should quickly have their Sultan. It should act accordingly. The army should be under "Sarasker" that the Ottomans used. Just one "Saraskar". Sultan assigns & discharges him. He rules over the army. He is under the command of Sultan. When they don't bring this system back... Neither Turks, nor Greeks, nor Egyptians can find a ruler. This is the consequence. The government has now divided people. What is the power of the government. Turkey doesn't have power anymore. People on the streets are more powerful than the deputies. They go out with guns in their hands, knives on their bellies. Whatever you throw at them, they attack you. They .. you. Turkey with 80 million population... couldn't control the chaos in 1 city. What honor do you have? What do you have a parliament for? You said I'm better and lied to people. Can it ever be compared to the Ottomans? The Sultan ruled with the army. People respected him. He ruled and protected its people. All governments, that are not built on religion, cannot be successful. All Africa is in chaos because of it. The whole world, Christian world, is also like this. All African people, brother killing brother. All nations are in chaos because there is no power to control them. No one with willpower. No power to stop them. What will you do? Try and I shall see your power. It's been 100 years since this republic could achieve anything. They brought a wrong system and that - This is my declaration. You can either inform Gul, or Ali... or you can inform Mr. Erdogan, or the parliament, or the in all cities, to the commanders of the army. The highest commander of the army... is in prison. Prisons are full, for what? Why do you imprison them? If you don't like them... if he is harmful, the order of Shariat is... to get rid of him or to send him to exile, finished. When he is in prison, he is unseen. Let's see if he can do something. There is no law over Allah's Shariat. Impossible! I'm sorry, the people, who put this empire of 700 years... into such a condition, should fear Allah (swt). I want to inform Turkey about this in Turkish and the other countries... in their own language. Written or as an audio, whatever they do, they continue. People will find truth - why they are in this condition, they will find out and know. At that time the storm comes and everywhere is like the sea. Tawhid is from Allah (swt). May Allah send us Saheeb, May He send us Sultan. Who is Sultan? Sultan is the shadow of Allah (swt), on earth. His shadow has majesty. Whose shadow are these people? Shadow of shaytan. May Allah forgive us.

Seek your Sustenance
The Holy Prophet advised his Nation to work for a living, though our stay in this world be only temporary. He advises us to seek out our sustenance, not to wait for it to find us. It is best for us to work for our livelihood, to engage ourselves in any type of work that does not transgress the Law, as the most tasteful of food is that earned with one's own hands. For man to seek his sustenance within the bounds of the Divine Law is most pleasing to our Lord, and is also conducive to good mental and physical health. So whoever is able-bodied must work. Don't argue that, since the sustenance of every creature is already destined for him you need neither pursue it nor avoid it - these are the excuses of lazy people - and Allah does not favour laziness. As long as you are in this world there must be some work that you can do with your hands. King Solomon, who was both a Prophet and a Divinely Ordained Monarch was granted by his Lord opulence far beyond the imagination of even the richest man of our time, for Allah Almighty granted him knowledge of the exact location of all the treasures in the Earth, and also empowered him over armies of Jinn who not only guarded those treasures but would bring up any of them upon command. Solomon was also granted the power to discourse with the animals, and they too were his servants. Even such a magnificent emperor as Solomon never in his life ate food except the proceeds from the sale of baskets he himself wove. Can we find such scrupulousness anywhere? King Solomon set an example for all of

7802 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: SeekyourSustenance
his subjects, and people of all time by not using the wealth of the Nation for his personal needs. But nowadays, on the contrary, the government is expected to supply everyone's needs, so that many people, other than those who are truly handicapped or in need, unashamedly take government handouts and demand that they be increased. Don't be unemployed! Perhaps you can cheat the government, but you can't deceive Allah; and He Almighty punishes such people in this life by making that money a cause of discontent for them. No "barakah" comes from unearned money, and the result of such a life will be both physical and mental illness. Therefore, if you value your health and your sanity, eat from the work of your hands! Sultan Abdul Hamid, the last Khalifa of the Ottoman Empire was a great personality of his time. By virtue of his great stamina and charisma he was able to not only hold together the crumbling empire, but to actually effect a kind of revival of spirit throughout the vast realm. He was the last ruler to be mentioned in sermons all across the Muslim World, and he was the last keeper of the holy relics of the Prophet which are in Istanbul. In the midst of all the affairs of his empire that needed his attending to, he found time to engage in a craft and eat from the proceeds of that work. Not only this, but he never ascended his throne to attend to court until he had recited his Naqshbandi exercises and read a portion of the Qur'an and also of the prayer book Dalail-ul-Khairat, as well as praying the two sets of supererogatory prayers of the early morning. It is enough of a testimony to his strength to mention that he sat on the throne for thirtythree years in a time when most kings could not manage to retain their power for even ten years because of the many intrigues and the growing chaos of the times. The magnitude of his majesty was such that Kaiser Wilhelm II once said: "I have met many monarchs and rulers in my life and have found them all to be my inferiors, or at best my equals, but when I entered the presence of Abdul Hamid I began to tremble." The Holy Prophet once said: "You must work for your honest provision as if you are going to remain in this world forever, and for the afterlife as if you will die tomorrow". Now why would the Prophet, whose mission it was to call to eternal life suggest that we work as if we will always be in this world? Because when hope for the life of the world is abandoned man will die. Hope for the future of this world and for our position in it is necessary for our being able to devote ourselves to our duties

in this life. Besides this, the Holy Prophet declared that man's good deeds live on after him in this world, through the benefit that future generations derive from them. And with regard to the afterlife, the Holy Prophet was reminding us that we will cross that barrier, and it could be tomorrow, or even today: So, should we not be prepared? In order to put the matter in perspective, the Holy Prophet also said: "Oh people you must consider how long you may remain in this world and work for it in accordance with the length of your stay; and you must consider as well how long you will be in the life of the hereafter and strive for it accordingly". This saying may seem to contradict the previous one, for if you balance the time you will spend in this world against the time you will be in the hereafter, it will be nothing. Each of our Prophet's sayings is perfect; therefore, for those who would abandon their worldly duties, he has urged them to oppose this tendency by thinking of this world as eternal, so that they may give value to their duties. And for those who would pursue this world exclusively, the second measure: the time spent here against the time there, so that they may seek what is in fact eternal. Sayyidina Ali related from the wisdom he gained from the Prophet, that exaggeration on the one hand, and the total abandonment, on the other, of any aspect of life is a sign of ignorance. Therefore, in this matter of balance between different aspects of effort we have been urged to seek equilibrium. And our Naqshbandi predecessors recommend the following division of our day: eight hours for prayer and devotions and eight hours for seeking our sustenance, (and time devoted to our families may be considered as devotion, as Allah has ordered us to attend to them). Following such guidelines, even people with heavy responsibilities may find time for both work and prayer, like King Solomon and Sultan Abdul Hamid. Question: "What shall I do in my work situation where I am surrounded by people who are really antagonistic, and are always trying to drag me down to their level? Shall I be very short with them, reject their familiarity and just go about my business?" The Sheikh answered: There is no wisdom in pointing out people's faults to them directly, nor in behaving in such a way that your disapproval becomes very obvious. All you may do is to make some very generalized

Why don't you put the crown of the Prophet on your head? Why don't you dress like the Prophet did? You don't but one day you will get it in the neck. It is changing. It is changing. The days of change are coming, coming with a whip.There are the ones coming from heavens with their whip! You can see their whip but not them. Fear from Allah! Don't say I am king, I am prince, I am president. Don't say I am on my throne. Keep your adab (manners)! Otherwise you will get a slap on your face, the shape of your face may change, you won't be able to move your arms & legs. Fear Allah! Keep the way of our Prophet! Ey yaran, ey fukaralar, ey poor ones, ey friends,make friends with poor ones. Don't seek closeness to rich ones and leaders. Look for the ones who have light and are acceptable to their Lord, they may take your burden, may teach you. Say Bismillahir rahmanir rahim. With BismiLlahir Rahmanir Rahim you can shake the world. French armies were bombarding Damascus from the hills of Mazra. A bomb was coming towards the tomb of Sayyidina Yahya, when it came near, a hand came out of the tomb and threw it back to the hills of Mazra. You may believe it or not.The ones who believe win.The ones who dont lose. Be like a jewel. My Lord, I am your weak servant. I am looking for Your servants who can teach me adab! May You send us,our Lord! We are in the hands of tyrants, those who see themselves as giants. If only one of the Holy ones asks from his Lord to break the chair on their head, it will be broken. They will lie down dead. You must know that this is the

way, ey Yaran. I am talking to you my daughter, may my daughter-in-law listen too. Mother-in-law is telling this for her daughter-in-law. I am telling something to my daughter so that my daughter in law may understand. I am not addressing them directly. Be clean, look for Light(Nur).What did Allah(swt) say we should look for? Ey scholars, ey princes, ey kings, What did Janab Allah say in Holy Quran that we should look for? You all read The Holy Quran. Allah(swt) commands: "Faltamisu Nura"(57:13) He is saying look for Light(noor). Is anyone of you looking for it? All of you are after Dunya(world). But the Dunya is a carcass. Going after carcass, you become carcass. Pity! They are not wearing the crown of the Holy Prophet(sas) on their head. Nothing is on their head. New fashion, Hodjas are like movie stars. A movie star or Hodja(imam)?! Bre, hasha minal hudur, if you shave the mane of a lion, what does it look like? It looks like a monkey. Why don't these hodjas keep the Sunnah of our Prophet? Trousers,jackets and ties they wear. A tie which is a sign of Christianity! Those unreasonable Christians keep crucifying Prophet Isa, continually. Doesn't it represent this incident? Pretended to be. Be ashamed of yourselves! A Prophet has honor. Above all this, you call him god or, son of god and then you crucify him. What is this? Such an empty claim? Aman yahu, ey our friend, teach us adab(manners). Our people are imitating them. Statues are everywhere. Who has ever found any benefit from statues? Go to Egypt and look! Mursi of Egypt or Mursi of Egypt. Have a look how the statues of the Pharaohs are sitting. A man is so small compared to those statues. What benefit did those statues give to Pharoah? You will leave behind a smelly dead body that, the washer will wish to keep away from. Allah is ordering to 'be clean', "ŸãWa Tatahharu" Wash yourselves and be clean. Whose divan,whose property are you in? Be clean! "Inama-l Mushrikina Najasan"(9:28)-Hypocrits are unclean. Those who leave Allah and make up other gods or idols to respect are unclean, dirty. They have no value. Allah is ordering you, oh people, "Faltamisu Nura"(57:13)Look for Light(nur).Are any of you looking? Oh Sheikh Effendi, how?! We are looking for petrol! Allah(jj) orders "Faltamisu Nura"(57:13). Our Arabs, our Turks,are Faltamisu (looking for) petrol. Where is there petrol? They used to call petroleum. Looking for petrol! You are created to look for it? Iranians are

proud to be called oil tycoons. Princes, kings are proud of this too. 'We are petrol tycoons'they are saying. They became Petrol tycoons. Qadhafi was also saying "I am king of petrol". "I am number one in petrol business". Petrol became his curse. They killed him by hitting his head. Oh people, specially kings and scholars, and princes, this addressing is to you: Is Allah saying "Faltamisu Petrol"? Strange! "Faltamisu Nura"(57:13). Allah says:Look for Divine Light. He doesnt say: Look for petrol,oil. Look for Divine Light which Allah gives you; light without petrol. Does the Sun uses petrol for its light? Where does the Sun get its energy? Each day is oil is filled into the Sun so that it can gives light? Why don't you think? Our Prophet (sas) said to reflect an hour is better than 7 years of worship -Tafakkur sa'atan Khayrun min Ibadatu Saba'ina Sanah. To think on these subjects,needs to be paid attention. You think, "I have seated myself on my fine chair, I'm not descending. "One day it will be broken on your head because you looked for seats of honour and petrol, but not Light. Your efforts are useless, you will have to leave in shame. They leave Allah Jalla Jalaluhu Wa Jallat Azamatahu. They leave the orders of Allah, when Allah says"Faltamisu Nura"(57:13) Our people say "no,what shall we do with the Divine Light?" We are looking for oil and petrol. We will sell them and become rich, like Iranians. Iranians say: We are petrol tycoons - we became rich by selling petrol. You will be drowned in your petrol. Oh people, "Hal Min Muddakir?" - Is there anyone among you who reflects? "Faltamisu Nura"(57:13). Look for Divine Light. Who are the owners of light? Our Holy Prophet(saw),who is the Sultan of all prophets. You must look for his light. Who has his light? Nur(divine light)that will revive you. Whoever sees you will tremble. One of the kings said: Who brought this man here? I cannot look at his face, I am trembling. That man is a simple dervish! If he is not rich why did you bring him here? These are not the ones looking for oil on Earth. These are the blessed ones who are looking for the treasures of heavens, so heavenly titles and divine light are dressed on them. They are not like you. You will drown in your oil reserves. This petrol will be your curse. Leave it. All corruption is because of it but their mind is full with nothing else but oil. Petrol smells bad. They are happy with the smell of petrol. "We searched and found petrol." With petrol one does not become human. Allah has not created you to run after petrol. Faltamisu Zayt - search for oil Faltamisu Nift - search for petrol? He didnt say that but said - FaltamisuNura (57:13).O kings

dont you understand? O kings of the Arabs,does Allah order to search for petrol? Or does He order: "Faltamisu Nura"(57:13)? "Oh my servants look for divine light(noor)" Oh our Lord forgive us. Lets say Bismillahir rahmanir rahim. There are the oceans of divine Light, oceans of divine Light. They say we did this & that. Whatever you did if it is not for Allah's sake it is useless. Your food, your seats, your palaces and mansions give you nothing. You may find yourself in horror! Seekers of Nur may go anywhere they want,no one can disturb them but those who look for petrol have many enemies. They want to make them fall because they want their place. Look how beautiful! Ey yaran,ey friend! Ad-Dinu n-Nasihatu. Religion is good advice. They are making me to speak these words. They collect it from here and there and inspire it into my heart. I am not reading from the books to tell you but from what is poured into my heart. These words I tell you come from my heart where there are oceans of them. If you want the sultanate of Akhirat say Bismillahir rahmanir rahim. Oh our Lord enlighten our faces, give us strength. May we run after the honor of being a servant to You. May we not run after building mansions and palaces. May we tell of the beauties of being on Your way so that we may bring Your servants back to the right path. That is what we want. The world has decieved so many people by saying I am yours but finally they found out differently - wrapped up inside a coffin, carried in a funeral ceremony, some with bands, some with songs, finally buried deep down into the black earth. What waits for you in the grave will not make you happy! Oh people if you are human, think on it. It is said: To reflect 1 hour is better than to be busy with dunya 70 years. This is how the doors will be opened for you. This is the Will of Allah(swt). Teach this.Our scholars are not saying anything.Ey people,ey Mursi, watch your chair not be broken on your head. O High ones of Iran, O those who destroyed Damascus,beware! One day your seats may be broken on your heads. Your dead body may be dragged in the streets because you have no divine Light & didnt look for it. People seek the owners of divine Light. Who has it? "Faltamisu Nura"(57:13). The divine Light is within the Holy Ones (clean ones). Nur is within the holy ones who walk the way of the Holy Prophet. Dont take offense, I ask no wages, no salaries. I ask for The Divine Light. May Allah cast the divine Nur within us so that we will not be ugly and ashamed on the Day of Resurrection. We want to have lighted faces & clean hearts in the presence of Rabbul Alamin.

If you say I am wrong your grave will be ready the following day. Our people say there are some people with whom you must watch your manners and avoid hurting them. If you don't revenge comes from Heavens. Lightening, visible or invisible may strike you. Beware,beware! May Allah save us from our bad egos. Search for Nur and ask for it, Our Prophet Aleyhis Salatu ves Selam, brought the Light. You all read The Holy Quran.

Say at least 40 times "Bismillahir rahmanir rahim." Pray your five daily prayers. You will be safe. If you don't do this, you will be swept away. O ladies don't put on your makeup and fancy dresses and go around. If so, your smell will be very bad when you are being buried. Cover yourselves. Don't use wordly perfumes then the angels will bathe you in heavenly perfumes. What a nice smell! What a beautiful woman! Ladies for their husbands only, not for other men! Allah orders like this! If not keeping this advice you will become ugly! Aman Ya Rabbi, tawba Ya Rabbi. We are waiting for Sultan! Sultan gonder, sahip gonder Mevlamız. Send us the Sultan who will keep us.

Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Because of troubles in the Turkish Republic, I shall tell you some inspirations that have come to my heart. I am a weak servant of Allah (swt). I am one of those who know our recent history. Shukur Allah. My condition is due to my old age. We have information and also we have inspirations. The other night, because of that Nawruz-Spring... people fought with each other in the eastern cities. I was sorry about this. Now, I want to say a couple of words. Don't look at who is speaking, look at Who is making me speak. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Don't start anything without Bismillah. It is useless. For how many days my condition wasn't good? I didn't have power to even talk. But with Allah Almighty's grace, with Shifa'at of his highness Sultan al Anbiya'... and prayer, support from Awliyas... I started to pull myself together a little bit. Insha Allah my hope is that I will destroy Kufr-unbelief and I will talk with Mahdi (as). G: Amin insha Allah altogether. Because of the chaos of Nawruz- Spring, some wisdom is coming to my heart. I'm a weak servant of Allah but we have inspirations. As my grandson... you studied law. I'm going to ask you some questions about this. I

shall give the answer inshallah. Now, you are a graduate of law school, our grandson. May Allah (swt) give all of us khayr. I have a question. What is the description of a government? What is the attribute of a government? What can a government do? I shall say and you listen then. The government... A government is an authority which protects the people, encourages them to treat each other with kindness, governs people and represents power. Is there anything wrong? Haqq. Because of the chaos in the Eastern cities, I felt sorry. Why isn't the government able to govern its people? Government has power and governs people. If it can't govern people, then it is not a government. When I look at that chaos, the government can't control people. Which means there's no government. A government has the power... to order people. It has police, soldiers, and the army. If you can't control people with all this power... you aren't considered as a state in a particular region. Which means Turkey lost its honor of being a government. What if all people rise up? A government has the power to govern its people. If not, then it is not a government. Turkey since it is establishment, couldn't govern its people. Before that, the Sultan had power, majesty, will-power. Turkey has neither power nor majesty, nor will-power. This is not a state. The Ottoman Empire ruled people for 700 years, with the will-power of the Sultan. Everyone feared Sultan. Who fears the president, deputy, the parliament? Who respects the army? That means, Turkey lost its ability to be a state. All countries, which banished their Sultans, are in trouble. None of them can govern its people. "You are you, I am me" they say. Egypt, Libya, Tunusia, Algeria, Morocco, Syria is like that. Iraq, Iran is like that. All Arab Peninsula, all African people are like that. They don't have any power. "You are you, I am me" people say. Who are you? I go out in the streets, I burn, I destroy... I kill. If you can stop us, then do it. Was it possible to do so, during the Sultanate? Impossible. Because the state was standing up with the Sultan. This democracy it's what they made from their mind. It's dirty, dirtiness everywhere they are trying to put it to rule them. You pass these things now! They are not saying anyone else is good, We are better than you. No Sultan! Then the Majesty of the Sultanate.. What they called this democracy is rubbish people. The one who has the will-power is 1000 levels higher. The will-power is with 1 person. The will-power of 100 people is not the same as this one person with power. In one class how many people rule? The teacher rules. Is anyone else there? If someone else interferes it messes everything. That is why until these people, who call for democracy,

shaytanic, mental production, they are following dunya & their dunya is not dunya & their Akhirat is not good. My advice is that Turkey should quickly have their Sultan. It should act accordingly. The army should be under "Sarasker" that the Ottomans used. Just one "Saraskar". Sultan assigns & discharges him. He rules over the army. He is under the command of Sultan. When they don't bring this system back... Neither Turks, nor Greeks, nor Egyptians can find a ruler. This is the consequence. The government has now divided people. What is the power of the government. Turkey doesn't have power anymore. People on the streets are more powerful than the deputies. They go out with guns in their hands, knives on their bellies. Whatever you throw at them, they attack you. They .. you. Turkey with 80 million population... couldn't control the chaos in 1 city. What honor do you have? What do you have a parliament for? You said I'm better and lied to people. Can it ever be compared to the Ottomans? The Sultan ruled with the army. People respected him. He ruled and protected its people. All governments, that are not built on religion, cannot be successful. All Africa is in chaos because of it. The whole world, Christian world, is also like this. All African people, brother killing brother. All nations are in chaos because there is no power to control them. No one with willpower. No power to stop them. What will you do? Try and I shall see your power. It's been 100 years since this republic could achieve anything. They brought a wrong system and that - This is my declaration. You can either inform Gul, or Ali... or you can inform Mr. Erdogan, or the parliament, or the in all cities, to the commanders of the army. The highest commander of the army... is in prison. Prisons are full, for what? Why do you imprison them? If you don't like them... if he is harmful, the order of Shariat is... to get rid of him or to send him to exile, finished. When he is in prison, he is unseen. Let's see if he can do something. There is no law over Allah's Shariat. Impossible! I'm sorry, the people, who put this empire of 700 years... into such a condition, should fear Allah (swt). I want to inform Turkey about this in Turkish and the other countries... in their own language. Written or as an audio, whatever they do, they continue. People will find truth - why they are in this condition, they will find out and know. At that time the storm comes and everywhere is like the sea. Tawhid is from Allah (swt). May Allah send us Saheeb, May He send us Sultan. Who is Sultan? Sultan is the shadow of Allah (swt), on earth. His shadow has majesty. Whose shadow are these people? Shadow of shaytan. May Allah forgive us.

Seek your Sustenance
The Holy Prophet advised his Nation to work for a living, though our stay in this world be only temporary. He advises us to seek out our sustenance, not to wait for it to find us. It is best for us to work for our livelihood, to engage ourselves in any type of work that does not transgress the Law, as the most tasteful of food is that earned with one's own hands. For man to seek his sustenance within the bounds of the Divine Law is most pleasing to our Lord, and is also conducive to good mental and physical health. So whoever is able-bodied must work. Don't argue that, since the sustenance of every creature is already destined for him you need neither pursue it nor avoid it - these are the excuses of lazy people - and Allah does not favour laziness. As long as you are in this world there must be some work that you can do with your hands. King Solomon, who was both a Prophet and a Divinely Ordained Monarch was granted by his Lord opulence far beyond the imagination of even the richest man of our time, for Allah Almighty granted him knowledge of the exact location of all the treasures in the Earth, and also empowered him over armies of Jinn who not only guarded those treasures but would bring up any of them upon command. Solomon was also granted the power to discourse with the animals, and they too were his servants. Even such a magnificent emperor as Solomon never in his life ate food except the proceeds from the sale of baskets he himself wove. Can we find such scrupulousness anywhere? King Solomon set an example for all of

7802 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: SeekyourSustenance
his subjects, and people of all time by not using the wealth of the Nation for his personal needs. But nowadays, on the contrary, the government is expected to supply everyone's needs, so that many people, other than those who are truly handicapped or in need, unashamedly take government handouts and demand that they be increased. Don't be unemployed! Perhaps you can cheat the government, but you can't deceive Allah; and He Almighty punishes such people in this life by making that money a cause of discontent for them. No "barakah" comes from unearned money, and the result of such a life will be both physical and mental illness. Therefore, if you value your health and your sanity, eat from the work of your hands! Sultan Abdul Hamid, the last Khalifa of the Ottoman Empire was a great personality of his time. By virtue of his great stamina and charisma he was able to not only hold together the crumbling empire, but to actually effect a kind of revival of spirit throughout the vast realm. He was the last ruler to be mentioned in sermons all across the Muslim World, and he was the last keeper of the holy relics of the Prophet which are in Istanbul. In the midst of all the affairs of his empire that needed his attending to, he found time to engage in a craft and eat from the proceeds of that work. Not only this, but he never ascended his throne to attend to court until he had recited his Naqshbandi exercises and read a portion of the Qur'an and also of the prayer book Dalail-ul-Khairat, as well as praying the two sets of supererogatory prayers of the early morning. It is enough of a testimony to his strength to mention that he sat on the throne for thirtythree years in a time when most kings could not manage to retain their power for even ten years because of the many intrigues and the growing chaos of the times. The magnitude of his majesty was such that Kaiser Wilhelm II once said: "I have met many monarchs and rulers in my life and have found them all to be my inferiors, or at best my equals, but when I entered the presence of Abdul Hamid I began to tremble." The Holy Prophet once said: "You must work for your honest provision as if you are going to remain in this world forever, and for the afterlife as if you will die tomorrow". Now why would the Prophet, whose mission it was to call to eternal life suggest that we work as if we will always be in this world? Because when hope for the life of the world is abandoned man will die. Hope for the future of this world and for our position in it is necessary for our being able to devote ourselves to our duties
http://www.sufismus-online.de/SeekyourSustenance (2 von 5)04.07.2013 23:33:17
7803 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: SeekyourSustenance
in this life. Besides this, the Holy Prophet declared that man's good deeds live on after him in this world, through the benefit that future generations derive from them. And with regard to the afterlife, the Holy Prophet was reminding us that we will cross that barrier, and it could be tomorrow, or even today: So, should we not be prepared? In order to put the matter in perspective, the Holy Prophet also said: "Oh people you must consider how long you may remain in this world and work for it in accordance with the length of your stay; and you must consider as well how long you will be in the life of the hereafter and strive for it accordingly". This saying may seem to contradict the previous one, for if you balance the time you will spend in this world against the time you will be in the hereafter, it will be nothing. Each of our Prophet's sayings is perfect; therefore, for those who would abandon their worldly duties, he has urged them to oppose this tendency by thinking of this world as eternal, so that they may give value to their duties. And for those who would pursue this world exclusively, the second measure: the time spent here against the time there, so that they may seek what is in fact eternal. Sayyidina Ali related from the wisdom he gained from the Prophet, that exaggeration on the one hand, and the total abandonment, on the other, of any aspect of life is a sign of ignorance. Therefore, in this matter of balance between different aspects of effort we have been urged to seek equilibrium. And our Naqshbandi predecessors recommend the following division of our day: eight hours for prayer and devotions and eight hours for seeking our sustenance, (and time devoted to our families may be considered as devotion, as Allah has ordered us to attend to them). Following such guidelines, even people with heavy responsibilities may find time for both work and prayer, like King Solomon and Sultan Abdul Hamid. Question: "What shall I do in my work situation where I am surrounded by people who are really antagonistic, and are always trying to drag me down to their level? Shall I be very short with them, reject their familiarity and just go about my business?" The Sheikh answered: There is no wisdom in pointing out people's faults to them directly, nor in behaving in such a way that your disapproval becomes very obvious. All you may do is to make some very generalized
