specting (Allah). Respect (is) for creatures. (For) the Creator you can’t say: “We are giving high respect to Allah!” Respect, what Allah Almighty (is) giving (from) greatness to him; you must respect him. And they are saying: “He is like ourselves.” No! No! Even Christians they are not saying: “Jesus Christ (is) like ourselves”, how you are saying: “The Seal of Prophets, he is like ourselves”? Yes, those people (are) new growing up ones, but their time is over to be taken away. Now (there is) coming someone and with him someones, (who) should give (the) highest respect that should be given to a servant; his respect that no one can understand. No one can understand! Eh. I am a weak one. If I am (a) strong one, I can do for them, what I am doing. But I am a weak one; I am zero now, (a) zero on left side. If (they are) putting me and I am zero, (if) they are changing my personality, if they are putting me in front of (the) 1, I may take Dunya like this... and throw it away! Allahu akbar! Huwallah, yaf’al ma yurid. Allah! That word (is) not giving to me to be proud. No, I am speaking reality, reality. I am not saying that I am becoming some(one) else. When I am doing something... Now I am (a) zero on left, but when I am going, (when) the Lord of Heavens (is) putting me on (the) right hand, ohhh! Uhhh! Huuu! Hu! Yes, Sir. As-salamu alaikum. Ya Rabbi, Sen bilirsen. Afwak wa ridaak, ya Rabb. Afu, afu. Afwak, ya Sayyidi-l awalina wa-l akhirain. Anyone, you think that anyone to be Sayyidi-l Awwalina

wa-l akhirin? That is his “ridwan”, title. (The) title of Prophet sws (is): “Sayyidi-l Awwalina wa-l Akhirin”. Who are you? Who are you! Should come... Rasulallah sws was saying: “Should come “fi akhiri zaman”, when (the) Last Day (is) approaching, (there) should come some people, (whom) they are saying: ‘We are Arabs’ and their language (is) Arab(ic), but I am far away from those people!” Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Aziz Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Karim Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Subhan Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Sultan Allah... O Allah, send us a Sultan to finish the empty heads and the Pharaohs and the tyrants on earth and clean it from those who claim to be someone. May the honour of Rasulullah appear and his flag be raised in East and West. Amen! Wa salamun ‘ala-l mursalin wa-l hamdu li-llahi Rabbi-l ‘alamin. Rabbana takabbal minna, fa-fuanna fa-ghfirlana, wa-rhamna. Ya Mughitu aghitna, ya Mughithu aghitna, ya Mughitu aghitna. Kalamun haqq: “La taqnatu min rahmatillah.” Ya Rabb, we are hoping (in) every second (for) Your endless Mercy Oceans. “Wa’duka-l haqq.” What You promised, just it is true, true. Let us to reach to that honoured days, o our Lord, to be Your servant in happiness and in safety, sheltered here and (in the) Hereafter through divinely Sheltering.

Who is a lucky one? Destur ya Sayyidi, Meded, Meded ya Rijalallah…Audhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, lay haula wa la quwatta illa bi-llahi-l ‘Aliyu-l ‘Azim… Allahumma alhilma rushdana wa aidna min sharri anfusuna (?) Who is lucky one? Lucky one is that one that his heart (is) opened and he may be able to receive from heavenly inspirations. (A) plane is not able to land everywhere, it needs prepared areas to come and to land on it. And angels from Heavens can’t be able to land through every heart. (Like a plane-) if it is an unprepared land, (it) can’t be able to land on it. A heart, if it is open, and the key for hearts is to say: “La ilaha ill-Allah, Muhammadur Rasulullah sws. I am believing in God Allah Almighty, I am believing in His Existence, and I am believing in His Unity or Oneness.” That (is) opening hearts to be in connection with Heavens. But no one can be able to reach Heavens without a mediator. Not everyone can fly! If you like to fly from here to London, to East or to West, you must use a flight, a plane, you must get in and you may go, (and) you may reach. That is for our physical being. And our spirituality also can’t be able to reach by itself to Heavens and heavenly stations; (we) must use mediators that they are Prophets. Therefore Allah Almighty (was) sending to every nation through (all the) centuries from (the) beginning (Prophets). S.Adam he was first one. Who was believing in him, that he brought heavenly Orders and Commands, those people (that) were going with Adam peace be upon him, may reach to their heavenly stations. Whom they were not accepting they were remaining on earth. And in such a way reaching from beginning up to end thousands of Prophets (to mankind); that according to our traditional knowledge 124.

ooo Prophets (were) coming through different times (and) through different nations. They were using their heavenly Powers and whom they are reaching to them, accepting (them), the (Prophets) are taking them up to their heavenly stations. Yes, when our hearts (are) opened- that we are believing in whole Prophets and particularly the Seal of Prophets, the last one, S.Muhammad sws, (the) most praised one, (the) most beloved one, (the) most respected one in (the) divinely Presence, (and) our hearts (are) opening- angels (are) coming and landing (on it) and giving to those people heavenly Lights. That Lights (are) coming through hearts, reaching to every part of our bodies. Every cell (is) taking its share. When (cells are) taking their shares, they are changing; they are not going to be only material pieces, material parts, no! They are going to be as an enlightened house through (the) darkness of night: If this light (is) not coming in it, this house is going to be dark. When the light (is) coming, it is going to be enlightened. And when angels (are) coming from heavenly Lights (Heavens) with that heavenly Lights and that Lights are running through our veins, everywhere, every cell (is) taking its share. So that (a) ‘lucky one’ is that one whose whole physical being and cells (are) enlightened. He is not in darkness, finished. And whom they are closing their heart, not opening to accept what Prophets (are) bringing, and no way for angels to come and enter through their hearts, they are unlucky people; they are in darkness, and darkness (is) giving people fear. They are fearful people and they are hopeless people; no hope for them for coming days and also no Lights to make them to be saved from fear. When a person (is) going to be in darkness, (he is) feeling fear. Those people, whom they are not believing, they are always fearful people, because they are in darkness. When (their) heart (is) open and enlightened, they are going to be fearless people. They are looking and seeing, no fear for them. Now people (are) in darkness. 21st century people (are) in darkness, even you may say: “Oh, (but) through electricity (the) whole world nighttimes it is going to be so bright and enjoyful and enlightened!” It is imitated lights! It is outside shining, not through your heart shining. Yes, everywhere (there are) thousands and thousands, millions of lamps- what is the benefit? It is outside from your heart, no benefit, never taking fear

from your heart or never giving to you a hope. And even (there are) millions, billions of lamps, but they are also looking (and asking): “When (is the) sun going to shine?” When (the) sun (is) shining, finished, that (electric) lights (also) just finished, never giving to you anything. And people (are) looking for (the) sun rising and shining. Therefore people now are not asking to reach faith and its Lights that (are) going to be through their hearts and they are (thinking that they are) going to be enjoying by their imitated lights. That is the source of sufferings and troubles for people. Or this world (is) enough for everyone. Allah Almighty just granted everything that mankind may be in need, but they are not happy and they are not in satisfaction, (there is) no contentment for them: “We have everything, but no peace through our hearts.” How can (they) be in peace! People (are) asking peace, and peace first (is) going to be through ‘Ahadu nas’ (selected people), (then it is going) to be with everyone. If peace (is) reaching to everyone, then (the) community (is) going to be in peace. If not, it is impossible to be peace through communities or (through) nations. And if they are not accepting (Prophets), not opening their hearts through believing (it is impossible)… That Light is coming from Heavens, and people are looking that light is coming from sky, (because the) sun it is not on earth, it is outside, through space; from there (is) coming that lights. How you are asking lights from earth? Earth is in darkness. And man also they are in darkness, if they are not looking and taking Lights from Heavens (through Prophets) that those people are like suns. (The) sun (is) giving its lights to the material beings on earth, but those whom they are taking from Heavens Lights, (Prophets,) they are reaching to the real being of mankind and saving them from darkness. The(se people) are going to be reached to safety and peace, (and) according to their needs, according to their efforts, according to their hearts more opening, more Lights (are) coming. (If their hearts are only a) small distance (opening), coming a little bit, (if) fully opening, fully heavenly Lights coming and entering. Therefore (the) Prophet was saying a.s.: “Should come (this) on my nation: when Last Days (are) approaching should be so many problems and everyone (is) going to fall into troubles, because everyone (is)

going to be a troublemaker for himself and for others. Everywhere should be full with darkness and troubles, suffering and miseries, but (there) should be not too much, (only) some servants through those people- (that) they are going to be with them, living with them,- but their position should be up. People (should be) suffering, but (on) the(se peoples’) station, spiritual station, there should be peace, absolute peace. No any trouble, no suffering. People (are) going to be in troubles (and) sufferings, but those people they are not going to feel or to see sufferings or troubles. No problems for them, because those people are not troublemakers. Everyone whom they are troublemakers must be suffered and suffering is a punishment for them. Punishment. Suffering is not a grant from Allah Almighty, no, suffering is a punishment, and now people (are) in punishment. Communities, nations- in themselves, through themselves and with other nations- all of them (are) in troubles; (there is) no rest, no comfort, no peace for them. Therefore, o people! We are calling you to (an) enlightened area. We are calling you to a safe way. We are calling you to a peaceful land. Come! Don’t run away! Who (is) running away, (he is) running to Hells. Who is coming and surrendering, they should be in safety and in peace, absolute enlightening and eternal life, they should be for eternity! We are asking forgiveness and blessings from Allah Almighty for the honour of the most honoured one in His divinely Presence, S.Muhammad sws, Fatiha.

As-salamu 'aleykum, O my listeners! Peace be upon you, our congregation assembled here. May you have a good day, may your affairs prosper, and may your final end be a good one. O Shah-i Mardan, who is in awe of his Lord, Asad-ullahi l-ghalib, the invincible Lion of Allah! Masha'Allah, Subhan Allah wa l-hamdu li-llah. Salatu wa s-salam ‘ala Rasulillah, Sayyidi lawwalin wa l-akhirin. "Allahumma qawwi da’fana fi ridak." O Allah, strengthen us in our weakness for Your good pleasure. Come to us, O Shah-i Mardan. O Lovers of Shah-i Mardan, how lovely you are. "al-mar'u ma’a man ahabb." A person will be together with those whom he loves. May Allah let us be together with His beloved servants. Let us say: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. O our Lord, give us strength, give us fortitude. Give us strength to hold to Your way, to walk on the path of Your good pleasure. O Shah-i Mardan, Habib ur-Rahman! [Beloved of the Merciful] Come, O Lovers of Shah-i Mardan, those who love Shah-i Mardan, let them attend his assembly. O Lord, O Allah. Your Beloved spoke: "al-mar'u ma’a man ahabb." Your Beloved, for whose sake You created the entire universe, spoke as he was commanded: "al-mar'u ma’a man ahabb". A person will be together with the one he loves. Come to us, O Shah-i Mardan, and count us among those who love you, count us among your Lovers. Masha'Allah, la quwwata illa bi-llah. We are weak servants. We want to defeat those who are hostile to us. Our Lord loved us and created us. He also made us enemies of those who are hostile to Him. Our Lord gave us such honour that knows no limits. Let us love and be lovely. Come, O Shah-i Mardan, this field is yours. We are asking for support. When you ask for support, say: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim, so that you might find strength. For what should we find strength? For the service of our Lord. For that we are asking for strength. The power that

four-legged beasts require - we do not ask for that. I mean, we seek not the power that comes from food and drink. We seek the way of the Lovers of Shah-i Mardan, Habib ur-Rahman who loves us. That is the way we wish to enter upon. That is the way to Paradise. Don't go on any other way. Other ways will lead to Hell. The way of Shah-i Mardan is the way to Paradise. Let our hearts be easy. We are listening to Shah-i Mardan. Power, love and longing must come to us from Shah-i Mardan. Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar Allahu akbar wa li-llahi l-hamd. Alfu salat, alfu salam ‘ala Rasulillah, salla-llahu ‘alayhi wa s-sallam, 1000 blessings on our Prophet. Learn. What should you learn? You should learn adab. Shaytan has all manner of knowledge. Shaytan knew a great many things, but he knew no adab. He had knowledge, but no adab. If you had knowledge to fill heaven and earth but no adab, what use would it be? Shaytan, he had so much knowledge, he was a teacher of the angels. But what he did not know and did not learn was adab. He never learned adab. He learned ‘ilm, knowledge, but not adab. He became an ‘alim, a knowledgeable one, but not an adib, a good-mannered one. Adab. He knew not how to behave towards the All-Glorious Lord. He remained without manners. The command of the Lord came: Bow down to Adam. All the angels fell down in prostration. Shaytan said: No, I won't! What! Who gave you this order? Your Lord, the Illustrious and High. He obeyed not the command of the Lord. He possessed knowledge, but no adab. He committed a breach of adab. Thus, adab is important. You will rise up with adab, without it you will fall, and be good for nothing. Adab is a jewel. Whoever has adab advances in Allah's Holy Presence. A person who has not learnt adab, is of no value. Allah has not created us for this world. No. Why should He have created us for this world? No! How would Allah have profited, had He created man for this world? By putting mankind to work, would He have had any gain? Allah Almighty, may His Glory shine forth. Come to us, O Shah-i Mardan! Speak this to these mindless heads. Aman, ya Shah-i Mardan! Let us become people capable of understanding. Those with no understanding are beasts. It is man who has understanding. The beasts do not know for what they were created. Shame on you. You have learnt all the filth of this dunya. What good is it? You have not learnt about your Lord. Come, O Shah-i Mardan. What you need to learn is adab. Shaytan learned all things, but he remained without adab. That he would dare say to his Lord: I will not bow down. What great insolence! Where were you? From high up in the seventh heaven, he was plunged into the depths

10142 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: WhoIsPleasing
of the Pit of the seventh Hell. In one instant he dropped down into the depths. And why? Because he committed a breach of adab. The command went to the angels: Take him down, he has become arrogant in My Divine Presence. He said: I am I. Eh, who are you? Ah, I am the one sitting on this throne. May that throne be smashed on his head! Hit shaytan on the head! What became of him who was Azazil? He became shaytan. Dunya wa ma fi-ha, the world and all that is within it, Of what value is the world and all that is within it? If man has learnt no adab, he has no value at all. The people of these times, they learn a great many things in their schools and universities and whatever places. What they do not learn is adab. They remain without adab. What is man's worth? The worth of a man without adab is below that of an animal. In a single moment they threw shaytan off his throne. He had a throne. But the moment he committed that breach of adab, the command came to throw him off his throne. For that he was without adab. So when does man become a human being? When he has learned adab. "addabani Rabbi", said our Holy Prophet, alayhi s-salatu wa s-salam. My Lord has taught me adab. Shaytan was not able to learn this. He could not learn. He had his throne, a throne like the thrones of sultans, such a throne he had. But when he learned no adab, the angels were commanded to throw him down. Nowadays people have become a laughingstock for shaytan. O our Lord, forgive us. Come, O Shah-i Mardan. He who dresses us in the robe of humanity, which is the robe of greatest honour that Allah Almighty dresses upon His servant. The Padishah wore a jewelembellished robe; but if he has no adab, what good is it? Do his clothes give him any value? People nowadays regard only the outer aspect of things, never the inner one. Eh, look inside. Why do you look at the outer clothing you are wearing? "addabani Rabbi". My Lord has taught me adab, says the Holy Prophet. With that adab my rank reaches up into the highest heights. A person with no adab is driven from the door. Where do they send him? With adab, a person lives in a palace. With no adab, he lives in the stable, eating straw in the stable. He cannot enter the palace, nor the ruler's presence. He is useless. He is only after straw. Of what value is that? O our Lord, masha'Allah. al-'ilmu 'ilman: ‘ilmu l-abdan, 'ilmu l-adyan. Knowledge is of two categories: ‘ilmu l-abdan, physical knowledge; what value is what your learning about your physical being? What is your religion? What is your way? If it is the way of shaytan, it is of no value. They will put you in a hayloft, and give you straw to eat. But in the Sultan's Presence,
http://www.sufismus-online.de/WhoIsPleasing (3 von 16)04.07.2013 23:40:37
10143 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: WhoIsPleasing
precious jewels will be strewn beneath your feet. For He is such a Sultan, no other can give to His servant what He gives to His servant. Allah, Allah. "wa bashshir il-mu'minin". (61:13) For believers good tidings. Unbelievers will be like dogs, like donkeys, they will be worth nothing. The believers will be dressed with a crown from above, "min ‘indi-llah", from Allah's Divinely Presence. For the believers. O Shaykh Effendi, but for the unbelievers, they will be harnessed with a bridle. Do you know what a bridle is? A crown will be given to the believers, and a bridle is put on the unbelievers. Do you like this? Even if you don't, this expresses it exactly. Believers will be given a crown while unbelievers are led to the stable. They have no honour. What is the honour of a donkey? A donkey is a donkey. And a man is a man. A human being focuses on adab. Come, O Shah-i Mardan. O Shah-i Mardan, your loving friends are struck with awe of you. How well you say this, indeed. There are two groups of people. One bears a crown on their head, while the other is harnessed with a bridle. Yes, a bridle. For what are they bridled? A bridle, he says, shaytan says, I will put a bridle on those following me, mount upon them and do as I wish. Just like it is nowadays, people in this world have turned into the asses of shaytan. He has control over all of them. Go out in the streets, yell and scream. Why this yelling and screaming? There is no honour in yelling and screaming. Honour lies in adab. Millions of people have poured out into the streets, yelling and screaming, or, to be more exact, braying. Asses bray. Human beings do not bray. Those going out into the streets to yell and scream are not humans, they are animals. Because a human being does not yell, he possesses adab. On his head is the crown of dignity, the crown of servanthood. It is not fitting for him to go out into the streets to yell and scream. Shame on you! In return for the robe of servanthood that gives us such high rank and honour, in response to Allah robing you in the honour robe of servanthood, you go out into the streets like braying donkeys, to shout and roam about. Is that humanity? It is the bestiality of the 21.century. O Beloved Friends! Screaming and yelling in the streets, is the humanity of the 21st century, according to them. Eh, does a man bray? Yes, he does, he runs about the streets and brays. Be a human being, find your honour. Don't be a beast, that is led into a stable. Be human, so they might lead you into a palace.

"addabani Rabbi", he says, my Lord has taught me adab, the Holy Prophet, salawatullahi wa salamu ‘alayh. May his blessings be upon us. O glorious Messenger! O glorious Messenger! Shahi Mardan is teaching us what he learned from that glorious Prophet. But can a donkey be taught anything? A man once boasted and claimed: My donkey, I will teach it. I will give it lessons and it will study for its course. How can this be? Eh, by your leave, he said to the Sultan, I will teach this donkey to speak like a two-legged being, I will train it. All right, he said, you have permission. So for forty days he trained his donkey. After 40 days they called him to the Sultan. Where is the donkey? Here he is. What does he say? Speak up, you! Heehawhawhaw... Eh, what is that? What did he learn? He learned, well, just this. It is not difficult to learn to be an ass, it is easy to be an ass. Therefore, those who go about the streets braying, kicking and quarrelling like asses, they are animals. A human being has adab. He drew near not through study, but through adab. Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. Takkabar wa tajabbar. _ Allahu Dhu l-Jalal, Lord of Majesty. Come to us, O Shah-i Mardan, teach us. Now there are millions of people who wish to be like asses. You, what are you yelling and screaming about? Eh, we have no more straw. What will you do? We shall bray and kick and scuffle, until we get what we want. But that way you will end up being led to a stable. In the stable you can learn all this and do your yelling. Shah-i Mardan always speaks to his Loving Friends by way of comparisons, so that they might understand. But there is no one with any mind to understand. They are yelling, for what? We have no more straw. We have run out of straw. What, there is no more straw? Ah, it's all finished, he says. That's why we are running in the streets. We have no more straw. Send us more straw. This is the civilization of the 21. century. To go yelling and braying in the street: We are hungry, we are hungry. What do you want? Straw, we are out of straw. Eh, there is grass, so eat grass! Man is the most honoured of creatures. O Shah-i Mardan, were he to begin to speak on the merits and virtues of man he would never end. Man has his honour. He who runs after straw has no honour. The seeker after jewels is himself valuable. Many flock to the tavern, but there are few who are admitted into the presence of the sultan. These are dishonourable places, taverns, brothels, full to the brim. But those frequenting taverns and brothels are not admitted into the presence of the sultan. Masha'Allah. That is the rank of man. Man was created for the sultan. Listen to these words! O Shah-i Mardan. Man was created to be human. Who is a human being?

He who knows that he stands in the Presence of his Creator. But people no longer know this, they have turned into beasts, yelling, screaming. They are worth nothing, they have no value. You must learn. He said: "addabani Rabbi", our Prophet, ‘alayhi s-salatu wa s-salam. My Lord has taught me adab. Shah-i Mardan knows the adab that my Lord has taught to me. It was given to him. O Shah-i Mardan! O Sahib Dhu l-Fiqar! You are the King of Men, ya! O Sahib us-Sayf, Wielder of the sword! From heaven you were given a sword, with which to bring shaytan and his beasts into line and to destroy them, to destroy the rule of shaytan. Why were the prophets sent, ‘alayhimu s-salam? The Prophet of the Last Times? To destroy the dominion of shaytan. Eh, so if you are shaytan's donkey, what will you be worth? The Prophet of the Last Times said: "addabani Rabbi". Allahu Dhu l-Jalal gave our Prophet such great power, that he says: By force of this dignity I can kill not one devil, but a million devils. sallallahu ‘alayhi wa s-sallam. "al ‘ilmu faridatun ‘ala kulli muslimin wa muslima." Knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim man or woman. On what is knowledge based? On adab. Seek knowledge from one who possesses adab, so that you might thrive in this world and in the hereafter. In this world there are many who want to be as animals, they have many places to do so. Since you want to be as beasts, go ahead, the streets are empty. He who cannot control his nafs is the beast of his nafs. He who controls his nafs, enters into the Presence of the Sultan. Who has no control over it, is locked up in the toilet in the company of shaytan. Allah has created us to be His servants. The foundation of servanthood is adab. There can be no servant without adab. "addabani Rabbi". My Lord has taught me adab. The Prophet of the Last Times, the Beloved of Allah Almighty. The whole world has lost its adab. No one listens anymore to anyone. I will go and shout, he says. How long? As long as my voice lasts, he says, I will stand there and bray. Go bray, then. Not just one ass braying, the entire nation became a herd of asses They all pour out into the streets to bray. What are you shouting? Ah, we are being asses, they say. What do you want? We want straw, they say. Ah, so take your straw. But one wanting straw should at least take a plow to hand. A plow, in order to earn something. Without taking plow in hand, he wants something for nothing. No, that cannot be. Those who want something for nothing are on the road to Hell. They yell in the streets. You belong to this

specting (Allah). Respect (is) for creatures. (For) the Creator you can’t say: “We are giving high respect to Allah!” Respect, what Allah Almighty (is) giving (from) greatness to him; you must respect him. And they are saying: “He is like ourselves.” No! No! Even Christians they are not saying: “Jesus Christ (is) like ourselves”, how you are saying: “The Seal of Prophets, he is like ourselves”? Yes, those people (are) new growing up ones, but their time is over to be taken away. Now (there is) coming someone and with him someones, (who) should give (the) highest respect that should be given to a servant; his respect that no one can understand. No one can understand! Eh. I am a weak one. If I am (a) strong one, I can do for them, what I am doing. But I am a weak one; I am zero now, (a) zero on left side. If (they are) putting me and I am zero, (if) they are changing my personality, if they are putting me in front of (the) 1, I may take Dunya like this... and throw it away! Allahu akbar! Huwallah, yaf’al ma yurid. Allah! That word (is) not giving to me to be proud. No, I am speaking reality, reality. I am not saying that I am becoming some(one) else. When I am doing something... Now I am (a) zero on left, but when I am going, (when) the Lord of Heavens (is) putting me on (the) right hand, ohhh! Uhhh! Huuu! Hu! Yes, Sir. As-salamu alaikum. Ya Rabbi, Sen bilirsen.

Rasulallah sws was saying: “Should come “fi akhiri zaman”, when (the) Last Day (is) approaching, (there) should come some people, (whom) they are saying: ‘We are Arabs’ and their language (is) Arab(ic), but I am far away from those people!” Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Aziz Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Karim Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Subhan Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Sultan Allah...

Who is a lucky one? Destur ya Sayyidi, Meded, Meded ya Rijalallah…Audhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, lay haula wa la quwatta illa bi-llahi-l ‘Aliyu-l ‘Azim… Allahumma alhilma rushdana wa aidna min sharri anfusuna (?) Who is lucky one? Lucky one is that one that his heart (is) opened and he may be able to receive from heavenly inspirations. (A) plane is not able to land everywhere, it needs prepared areas to come and to land on it. And angels from Heavens can’t be able to land through every heart. (Like a plane-) if it is an unprepared land, (it) can’t be able to land on it. A heart, if it is open, and the key for hearts is to say: “La ilaha ill-Allah, Muhammadur Rasulullah sws. I am believing in God Allah Almighty, I am believing in His Existence, and I am believing in His Unity or Oneness.” That (is) opening hearts to be in connection with Heavens. But no one can be able to reach Heavens without a mediator. Not everyone can fly! If you like to fly from here to London, to East or to West, you must use a flight, a plane, you must get in and you may go, (and) you may reach. That is for our physical being. And our spirituality also can’t be able to reach by itself to Heavens and heavenly stations; (we) must use mediators that they are Prophets. Therefore Allah Almighty (was) sending to every nation through (all the) centuries from (the) beginning (Prophets). S.Adam he was first one. Who was believing in him, that he brought heavenly Orders and Commands, those people (that) were going with Adam peace be upon him, may reach to their heavenly stations. Whom they were not accepting they were remaining on earth. And in such a way reaching from beginning up to end thousands of Prophets (to mankind); that according to our traditional knowledge 124.

ooo Prophets (were) coming through different times (and) through different nations. They were using their heavenly Powers and whom they are reaching to them, accepting (them), the (Prophets) are taking them up to their heavenly stations. Yes, when our hearts (are) opened- that we are believing in whole Prophets and particularly the Seal of Prophets, the last one, S.Muhammad sws, (the) most praised one, (the) most beloved one, (the) most respected one in (the) divinely Presence, (and) our hearts (are) opening- angels (are) coming and landing (on it) and giving to those people heavenly Lights. That Lights (are) coming through hearts, reaching to every part of our bodies. Every cell (is) taking its share. When (cells are) taking their shares, they are changing; they are not going to be only material pieces, material parts, no! They are going to be as an enlightened house through (the) darkness of night: If this light (is) not coming in it, this house is going to be dark. When the light (is) coming, it is going to be enlightened. And when angels (are) coming from heavenly Lights (Heavens) with that heavenly Lights and that Lights are running through our veins, everywhere, every cell (is) taking its share. So that (a) ‘lucky one’ is that one whose whole physical being and cells (are) enlightened. He is not in darkness, finished. And whom they are closing their heart, not opening to accept what Prophets (are) bringing, and no way for angels to come and enter through their hearts, they are unlucky people; they are in darkness, and darkness (is) giving people fear. They are fearful people and they are hopeless people; no hope for them for coming days and also no Lights to make them to be saved from fear. When a person (is) going to be in darkness, (he is) feeling fear. Those people, whom they are not believing, they are always fearful people, because they are in darkness. When (their) heart (is) open and enlightened, they are going to be fearless people. They are looking and seeing, no fear for them. Now people (are) in darkness. 21st century people (are) in darkness, even you may say: “Oh, (but) through electricity (the) whole world nighttimes it is going to be so bright and enjoyful and enlightened!” It is imitated lights! It is outside shining, not through your heart shining. Yes, everywhere (there are) thousands and thousands, millions of lamps- what is the benefit? It is outside from your heart, no benefit, never taking fear

from your heart or never giving to you a hope. And even (there are) millions, billions of lamps, but they are also looking (and asking): “When (is the) sun going to shine?” When (the) sun (is) shining, finished, that (electric) lights (also) just finished, never giving to you anything. And people (are) looking for (the) sun rising and shining. Therefore people now are not asking to reach faith and its Lights that (are) going to be through their hearts and they are (thinking that they are) going to be enjoying by their imitated lights. That is the source of sufferings and troubles for people. Or this world (is) enough for everyone. Allah Almighty just granted everything that mankind may be in need, but they are not happy and they are not in satisfaction, (there is) no contentment for them: “We have everything, but no peace through our hearts.” How can (they) be in peace! People (are) asking peace, and peace first (is) going to be through ‘Ahadu nas’ (selected people), (then it is going) to be with everyone. If peace (is) reaching to everyone, then (the) community (is) going to be in peace. If not, it is impossible to be peace through communities or (through) nations. And if they are not accepting (Prophets), not opening their hearts through believing (it is impossible)… That Light is coming from Heavens, and people are looking that light is coming from sky, (because the) sun it is not on earth, it is outside, through space; from there (is) coming that lights. How you are asking lights from earth? Earth is in darkness. And man also they are in darkness, if they are not looking and taking Lights from Heavens (through Prophets) that those people are like suns. (The) sun (is) giving its lights to the material beings on earth, but those whom they are taking from Heavens Lights, (Prophets,) they are reaching to the real being of mankind and saving them from darkness. The(se people) are going to be reached to safety and peace, (and) according to their needs, according to their efforts, according to their hearts more opening, more Lights (are) coming. (If their hearts are only a) small distance (opening), coming a little bit, (if) fully opening, fully heavenly Lights coming and entering. Therefore (the) Prophet was saying a.s.: “Should come (this) on my nation: when Last Days (are) approaching should be so many problems and everyone (is) going to fall into troubles, because everyone (is)

going to be a troublemaker for himself and for others. Everywhere should be full with darkness and troubles, suffering and miseries, but (there) should be not too much, (only) some servants through those people- (that) they are going to be with them, living with them,- but their position should be up. People (should be) suffering, but (on) the(se peoples’) station, spiritual station, there should be peace, absolute peace. No any trouble, no suffering. People (are) going to be in troubles (and) sufferings, but those people they are not going to feel or to see sufferings or troubles. No problems for them, because those people are not troublemakers. Everyone whom they are troublemakers must be suffered and suffering is a punishment for them. Punishment. Suffering is not a grant from Allah Almighty, no, suffering is a punishment, and now people (are) in punishment. Communities, nations- in themselves, through themselves and with other nations- all of them (are) in troubles; (there is) no rest, no comfort, no peace for them. Therefore, o people! We are calling you to (an) enlightened area. We are calling you to a safe way. We are calling you to a peaceful land. Come! Don’t run away! Who (is) running away, (he is) running to Hells. Who is coming and surrendering, they should be in safety and in peace, absolute enlightening and eternal life, they should be for eternity! We are asking forgiveness and blessings from Allah Almighty for the honour of the most honoured one in His divinely Presence, S.Muhammad sws, Fatiha.

As-salamu 'aleykum, O my listeners! Peace be upon you, our congregation assembled here. May you have a good day, may your affairs prosper, and may your final end be a good one. O Shah-i Mardan, who is in awe of his Lord, Asad-ullahi l-ghalib, the invincible Lion of Allah! Masha'Allah, Subhan Allah wa l-hamdu li-llah. Salatu wa s-salam ‘ala Rasulillah, Sayyidi lawwalin wa l-akhirin. "Allahumma qawwi da’fana fi ridak." O Allah, strengthen us in our weakness for Your good pleasure. Come to us, O Shah-i Mardan. O Lovers of Shah-i Mardan, how lovely you are. "al-mar'u ma’a man ahabb." A person will be together with those whom he loves. May Allah let us be together with His beloved servants. Let us say: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. O our Lord, give us strength, give us fortitude. Give us strength to hold to Your way, to walk on the path of Your good pleasure. O Shah-i Mardan, Habib ur-Rahman! [Beloved of the Merciful] Come, O Lovers of Shah-i Mardan, those who love Shah-i Mardan, let them attend his assembly. O Lord, O Allah. Your Beloved spoke: "al-mar'u ma’a man ahabb." Your Beloved, for whose sake You created the entire universe, spoke as he was commanded: "al-mar'u ma’a man ahabb". A person will be together with the one he loves. Come to us, O Shah-i Mardan, and count us among those who love you, count us among your Lovers. Masha'Allah, la quwwata illa bi-llah. We are weak servants. We want to defeat those who are hostile to us. Our Lord loved us and created us. He also made us enemies of those who are hostile to Him. Our Lord gave us such honour that knows no limits. Let us love and be lovely. Come, O Shah-i Mardan, this field is yours. We are asking for support. When you ask for support, say: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim, so that you might find strength. For what should we find strength? For the service of our Lord. For that we are asking for strength. The power that

four-legged beasts require - we do not ask for that. I mean, we seek not the power that comes from food and drink. We seek the way of the Lovers of Shah-i Mardan, Habib ur-Rahman who loves us. That is the way we wish to enter upon. That is the way to Paradise. Don't go on any other way. Other ways will lead to Hell. The way of Shah-i Mardan is the way to Paradise. Let our hearts be easy. We are listening to Shah-i Mardan. Power, love and longing must come to us from Shah-i Mardan. Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar Allahu akbar wa li-llahi l-hamd. Alfu salat, alfu salam ‘ala Rasulillah, salla-llahu ‘alayhi wa s-sallam, 1000 blessings on our Prophet. Learn. What should you learn? You should learn adab. Shaytan has all manner of knowledge. Shaytan knew a great many things, but he knew no adab. He had knowledge, but no adab. If you had knowledge to fill heaven and earth but no adab, what use would it be? Shaytan, he had so much knowledge, he was a teacher of the angels. But what he did not know and did not learn was adab. He never learned adab. He learned ‘ilm, knowledge, but not adab. He became an ‘alim, a knowledgeable one, but not an adib, a good-mannered one. Adab. He knew not how to behave towards the All-Glorious Lord. He remained without manners. The command of the Lord came: Bow down to Adam. All the angels fell down in prostration. Shaytan said: No, I won't! What! Who gave you this order? Your Lord, the Illustrious and High. He obeyed not the command of the Lord. He possessed knowledge, but no adab. He committed a breach of adab. Thus, adab is important. You will rise up with adab, without it you will fall, and be good for nothing. Adab is a jewel. Whoever has adab advances in Allah's Holy Presence. A person who has not learnt adab, is of no value. Allah has not created us for this world. No. Why should He have created us for this world? No! How would Allah have profited, had He created man for this world? By putting mankind to work, would He have had any gain? Allah Almighty, may His Glory shine forth. Come to us, O Shah-i Mardan! Speak this to these mindless heads. Aman, ya Shah-i Mardan! Let us become people capable of understanding. Those with no understanding are beasts. It is man who has understanding. The beasts do not know for what they were created. Shame on you. You have learnt all the filth of this dunya. What good is it? You have not learnt about your Lord. Come, O Shah-i Mardan. What you need to learn is adab. Shaytan learned all things, but he remained without adab. That he would dare say to his Lord: I will not bow down. What great insolence! Where were you? From high up in the seventh heaven, he was plunged into the depths

of the Pit of the seventh Hell. In one instant he dropped down into the depths. And why? Because he committed a breach of adab. The command went to the angels: Take him down, he has become arrogant in My Divine Presence. He said: I am I. Eh, who are you? Ah, I am the one sitting on this throne. May that throne be smashed on his head! Hit shaytan on the head! What became of him who was Azazil? He became shaytan. Dunya wa ma fi-ha, the world and all that is within it, Of what value is the world and all that is within it? If man has learnt no adab, he has no value at all. The people of these times, they learn a great many things in their schools and universities and whatever places. What they do not learn is adab. They remain without adab. What is man's worth? The worth of a man without adab is below that of an animal. In a single moment they threw shaytan off his throne. He had a throne. But the moment he committed that breach of adab, the command came to throw him off his throne. For that he was without adab. So when does man become a human being? When he has learned adab. "addabani Rabbi", said our Holy Prophet, alayhi s-salatu wa s-salam. My Lord has taught me adab. Shaytan was not able to learn this. He could not learn. He had his throne, a throne like the thrones of sultans, such a throne he had. But when he learned no adab, the angels were commanded to throw him down. Nowadays people have become a laughingstock for shaytan. O our Lord, forgive us. Come, O Shah-i Mardan. He who dresses us in the robe of humanity, which is the robe of greatest honour that Allah Almighty dresses upon His servant. The Padishah wore a jewelembellished robe; but if he has no adab, what good is it? Do his clothes give him any value? People nowadays regard only the outer aspect of things, never the inner one. Eh, look inside. Why do you look at the outer clothing you are wearing? "addabani Rabbi". My Lord has taught me adab, says the Holy Prophet. With that adab my rank reaches up into the highest heights. A person with no adab is driven from the door. Where do they send him? With adab, a person lives in a palace. With no adab, he lives in the stable, eating straw in the stable. He cannot enter the palace, nor the ruler's presence. He is useless. He is only after straw. Of what value is that? O our Lord, masha'Allah. al-'ilmu 'ilman: ‘ilmu l-abdan, 'ilmu l-adyan. Knowledge is of two categories: ‘ilmu l-abdan, physical knowledge; what value is what your learning about your physical being? What is your religion? What is your way? If it is the way of shaytan, it is of no value. They will put you in a hayloft, and give you straw to eat. But in the Sultan's Presence,

10143 Maulana Sheikh Nazim: WhoIsPleasing
precious jewels will be strewn beneath your feet. For He is such a Sultan, no other can give to His servant what He gives to His servant. Allah, Allah. "wa bashshir il-mu'minin". (61:13) For believers good tidings. Unbelievers will be like dogs, like donkeys, they will be worth nothing. The believers will be dressed with a crown from above, "min ‘indi-llah", from Allah's Divinely Presence. For the believers. O Shaykh Effendi, but for the unbelievers, they will be harnessed with a bridle. Do you know what a bridle is? A crown will be given to the believers, and a bridle is put on the unbelievers. Do you like this? Even if you don't, this expresses it exactly. Believers will be given a crown while unbelievers are led to the stable. They have no honour. What is the honour of a donkey? A donkey is a donkey. And a man is a man. A human being focuses on adab. Come, O Shah-i Mardan. O Shah-i Mardan, your loving friends are struck with awe of you. How well you say this, indeed. There are two groups of people. One bears a crown on their head, while the other is harnessed with a bridle. Yes, a bridle. For what are they bridled? A bridle, he says, shaytan says, I will put a bridle on those following me, mount upon them and do as I wish. Just like it is nowadays, people in this world have turned into the asses of shaytan. He has control over all of them. Go out in the streets, yell and scream. Why this yelling and screaming? There is no honour in yelling and screaming. Honour lies in adab. Millions of people have poured out into the streets, yelling and screaming, or, to be more exact, braying. Asses bray. Human beings do not bray. Those going out into the streets to yell and scream are not humans, they are animals. Because a human being does not yell, he possesses adab. On his head is the crown of dignity, the crown of servanthood. It is not fitting for him to go out into the streets to yell and scream. Shame on you! In return for the robe of servanthood that gives us such high rank and honour, in response to Allah robing you in the honour robe of servanthood, you go out into the streets like braying donkeys, to shout and roam about. Is that humanity? It is the bestiality of the 21.century. O Beloved Friends! Screaming and yelling in the streets, is the humanity of the 21st century, according to them. Eh, does a man bray? Yes, he does, he runs about the streets and brays. Be a human being, find your honour. Don't be a beast, that is led into a stable. Be human, so they might lead you into a palace.

"addabani Rabbi", he says, my Lord has taught me adab, the Holy Prophet, salawatullahi wa salamu ‘alayh. May his blessings be upon us. O glorious Messenger! O glorious Messenger! Shahi Mardan is teaching us what he learned from that glorious Prophet. But can a donkey be taught anything? A man once boasted and claimed: My donkey, I will teach it. I will give it lessons and it will study for its course. How can this be? Eh, by your leave, he said to the Sultan, I will teach this donkey to speak like a two-legged being, I will train it. All right, he said, you have permission. So for forty days he trained his donkey. After 40 days they called him to the Sultan. Where is the donkey? Here he is. What does he say? Speak up, you! Heehawhawhaw... Eh, what is that? What did he learn? He learned, well, just this. It is not difficult to learn to be an ass, it is easy to be an ass. Therefore, those who go about the streets braying, kicking and quarrelling like asses, they are animals. A human being has adab. He drew near not through study, but through adab. Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. Takkabar wa tajabbar. _ Allahu Dhu l-Jalal, Lord of Majesty. Come to us, O Shah-i Mardan, teach us. Now there are millions of people who wish to be like asses. You, what are you yelling and screaming about? Eh, we have no more straw. What will you do? We shall bray and kick and scuffle, until we get what we want. But that way you will end up being led to a stable. In the stable you can learn all this and do your yelling. Shah-i Mardan always speaks to his Loving Friends by way of comparisons, so that they might understand. But there is no one with any mind to understand. They are yelling, for what? We have no more straw. We have run out of straw. What, there is no more straw? Ah, it's all finished, he says. That's why we are running in the streets. We have no more straw. Send us more straw. This is the civilization of the 21. century. To go yelling and braying in the street: We are hungry, we are hungry. What do you want? Straw, we are out of straw. Eh, there is grass, so eat grass! Man is the most honoured of creatures. O Shah-i Mardan, were he to begin to speak on the merits and virtues of man he would never end. Man has his honour. He who runs after straw has no honour. The seeker after jewels is himself valuable. Many flock to the tavern, but there are few who are admitted into the presence of the sultan. These are dishonourable places, taverns, brothels, full to the brim. But those frequenting taverns and brothels are not admitted into the presence of the sultan. Masha'Allah. That is the rank of man. Man was created for the sultan. Listen to these words! O Shah-i Mardan. Man was created to be human. Who is a human being?

He who knows that he stands in the Presence of his Creator. But people no longer know this, they have turned into beasts, yelling, screaming. They are worth nothing, they have no value. You must learn. He said: "addabani Rabbi", our Prophet, ‘alayhi s-salatu wa s-salam. My Lord has taught me adab. Shah-i Mardan knows the adab that my Lord has taught to me. It was given to him. O Shah-i Mardan! O Sahib Dhu l-Fiqar! You are the King of Men, ya! O Sahib us-Sayf, Wielder of the sword! From heaven you were given a sword, with which to bring shaytan and his beasts into line and to destroy them, to destroy the rule of shaytan. Why were the prophets sent, ‘alayhimu s-salam? The Prophet of the Last Times? To destroy the dominion of shaytan. Eh, so if you are shaytan's donkey, what will you be worth? The Prophet of the Last Times said: "addabani Rabbi". Allahu Dhu l-Jalal gave our Prophet such great power, that he says: By force of this dignity I can kill not one devil, but a million devils. sallallahu ‘alayhi wa s-sallam. "al ‘ilmu faridatun ‘ala kulli muslimin wa muslima." Knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim man or woman. On what is knowledge based? On adab. Seek knowledge from one who possesses adab, so that you might thrive in this world and in the hereafter. In this world there are many who want to be as animals, they have many places to do so. Since you want to be as beasts, go ahead, the streets are empty. He who cannot control his nafs is the beast of his nafs. He who controls his nafs, enters into the Presence of the Sultan. Who has no control over it, is locked up in the toilet in the company of shaytan. Allah has created us to be His servants. The foundation of servanthood is adab. There can be no servant without adab. "addabani Rabbi". My Lord has taught me adab. The Prophet of the Last Times, the Beloved of Allah Almighty. The whole world has lost its adab. No one listens anymore to anyone. I will go and shout, he says. How long? As long as my voice lasts, he says, I will stand there and bray. Go bray, then. Not just one ass braying, the entire nation became a herd of asses They all pour out into the streets to bray. What are you shouting? Ah, we are being asses, they say. What do you want? We want straw, they say. Ah, so take your straw. But one wanting straw should at least take a plow to hand. A plow, in order to earn something. Without taking plow in hand, he wants something for nothing. No, that cannot be. Those who want something for nothing are on the road to Hell. They yell in the streets. You belong to this
