was a caravan of Quraishis who were coming to Damascus from Hijaz in Arabia. The soldiers and the guardians of the Emperor stopped this caravan and reported to the Byzantine Emperor that a caravan had arrived from Arabia. The Emperor commanded the soldiers to bring those of the caravan to his royal presence. When they came into the presence of the Emperor they found that the Emperor was sitting on his throne. On the right hand side of the Emperor were the high priests, padres and the patriarchs of the church. On the left hand side of the Emperor stood his generals. The Emperor welcomed the party of the caravan and asked them as to who was the most closely related to the Prophet (on whom be peace). A person by the name of Sufyan said that he was the one who was most closely related to the Prophet (on whom be peace). This Sufyan is not the Abu Sufyan whom most people know of. The Emperor of Byzantine asked him whether those people with him were his friends. He said, “Yes, they are my friends. “ The Emperor then made the others to form a crescent shape with them behind Sufyan and Sufyan was in front. He was making a trap for them. The non-Muslims always make traps for Muslims, but Allah Almighty is the best of them who make traps. The Emperor then said to Sufyan “I am the Byzantine Emperor, and half the World is under my feet, none can speak in my presence unless I order them to do so and give them that honour to speak in front of me. I am going to ask you some questions, and you must answer truthfully. I don’t like lies. Tell me about that person to whom you are closely related. Tell me about that person and about his religion, tell me what his orders and commands are. You must be careful and must speak the truth to me”.

The Emperor then told the others behind Sufyan “If he answers me wrongly I am asking you to say that he is wrong, to say that he is not saying the truth and to stop him from speaking”. At this time Sufyan was not a believer in the message of the Prophet (on whom be peace). Subsequently however he became a Muslim. He referred then, when he had become a Muslim, to this incident and said “I was thinking of saying to the Byzantine Emperor all the wrong things, I felt that if I had known earlier, as to what the Emperor of Byzantine was going to question me about, I would have first talked to my friends from the caravan and arranged with them to confirm all the false things that I say. But this questioning was sudden and I had no way of knowing, what the Emperor’s questions were going to be. When the Emperor questioned me and if I had answered wrongly, I thought that my friends would stop me and say that I was lying. I was afraid that if this happened, the Emperor would order that I be beheaded. Yes, if someone had said that I was lying my head would have been cut off and this was my fear. So I was compelled to speak the truth”. The Emperor first asked me: What is the honour of the tribe of that man who is claiming to be the Prophet? I answered that they were of the best people, the most noble people, and that they could not have been more noble and honoured than the tribe of that person. The Emperor then said, “Yes, that is the perfect characteristic of every Prophet who has been sent. They are always from the noblest people of that nation. That is a sign that he is a Prophet”. The Emperor then asked me as to who his followers were; I replied “They are weak people, poor people, slaves, women and children”. The Emperor then said, “the followers of all Prophets were at the beginning weak people, poor people, slaves, women and children that is another sign that he is a Prophet”. The Emperor then asked me as to whether any follower had left the Prophet up to date. I replied “ No one ever leaves him, they believe in him and they keep him”. The Emperor again said, “this is true with all the other Prophets too. This is another sign that he is a Prophet”. Then he asked me whether the followers of the Prophet (on whom be peace), were increasing or decreasing in number, I said “Increasing”, “this then is another sign” said the Emperor.

“Haqq”, must always increase Batil must come down. When Haqq appears Batil disappears, this is another sign that he is a Prophet”. In this manner, the Emperor asked me so many important questions and I answered truthfully. He asked me, “what are the teachings of the Prophet, what does he advise you on, and what does he order you to do?” I answered :”That he orders us to believe in One God and he advises us to praise Him and to worship Him. He tells us to respect the weak and to pray and to fast, to give charity, to respect our parents and to look after the widows. He prevents us from drinking wine and fornication. Not to steal and not to kill. These are his teachings. “ When the Emperor heard me say all this he looked very angry. He asked my friends “Is this the truth that this person is saying, “ my friends then answered him saying “He speaks the truth, the mission of the Prophet is teaching us to do every goodness and to believe and to worship in One God and to prevent us from all types of badness”. Then the Emperor asked “If this is true why are you fighting him”. Then the Quraishis said “We are fighting with him only because he is asking us to worship One God while we have hundreds of gods”. The Emperor then said “if he is calling you to worship only One God and to do good and not to do bad, and if because of this you are fighting him, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Yes, you should be ashamed to go against that person and not to believe in him and not to follow him. You are very wrong, very wicked people. If your report of this person is true, his nation shall one day capture the ground on which I Heraclius now stand”. The Emperor then cried and said “Oh! if it was a possibility to reach to this Prophet, and my imperial situation does not allow me to do this, I shall reach to him and serve him, I wish to serve him to the extent of putting his slippers on for him, if Allah Almighty shall give me permission to do so.” The Emperor of Byzantine was saying this about Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace). He was blaming those people and saying how can you escape from a man, who is trying to teach you good, why are you trying to escape from him who is trying to make you do the best things.

I am now asking the people of the 20th century the same question that the Byzantine Emperor asked. I am asking why is it that you are trying to escape from the teachings of Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace). Is the Prophet calling you to hell or to paradise? Why is it that you are trying to run away from him. I am asking this from all the people who live today, and also from the Muslim World. Why are they leaving the teachings of Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), and asking for other teachings? They shall be punished for this. The East and the West are both trying to follow wrong teachings. But these are the teachings of the most beloved one. So follow him. Beware Oh Muslims, for the future, because difficult days are due for mankind. You must look to the personality of that beloved one and to also look to Islam. Still mankind is trying to escape from the teachings of Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace). They do not want to accept Islam. I am sorry to say that even the Muslim World is being cheated by Non-Muslims. The Muslim World now thinks that its salvation is in following the Western people or the Eastern people. The Muslim World is not uniting to follow the teachings of that beloved one, Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace). Therefore punishment shall come and when it comes no power on Earth would be able to repel it. May Allah Almighty forgive them.

8-AL-AZIZ: The Mighty, the Victorious "He is the Victorious one whom no force can overwhelm. But He does not hurry to destroy the one who persists in revolt and sin."

8-HE WHO HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN HAQQ ( Truth) Why did Allah Almighty send Prophets to preach to mankind instead of Angels. This is because they are of the same kind. The Prophets are from Mankind. Yes, you do not see a crow flying with the sparrows. When every kind is with its kind there is familiarity. Donkeys are with donkeys, dogs with dogs and horses with horses. If Angels were sent instead of Prophets to preach to man there wouldn’t have been this familiarity. The senses of the Angels are not like our senses. They do not feel the way we do because they do not have the Nafs we have. The Angels are egoless, whereas we have our egos. Therefore had they come as Prophets they would not have understood the situation of Mankind, as they would not have been familiar with them. Therefore Allah Almighty sent men to mankind to be Prophets. Allah Almighty could have sent His Divine Books from the Heavens or from the Earth, but he did not do that. Instead He sent Prophets to Mankind from among themselves. However, it is He who speaks through them. He spoke the Divine Book and the Divine Words, and He gave the Prophets the power to be His Deputies. Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), was the Deputy of Allah Almighty. When he spoke, Allah Almighty spoke through him. Do not think that Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), was speaking by himself. Allah Almighty says, “What he speaks is from Me, he speaks on My behalf and he is My translator to you”. Allah Almighty is in existence, He is in time and He is in space. But there is no time with Allah Almighty and there is no space with Allah Almighty. Every time, everywhere and through everything He is all in all. Do not ask how this is. You cannot understand how!

A Jew asked Sayyidina Ali (ral) “How is Allah Almighty?” Ali (ral) replied saying “You cannot ask, how? It is a big question. You cannot simply ask, how? You cannot even give an answer about yourself as to your how'ness, how then can you ask about your Creator and how is it that He is your Lord and how is it that He is everywhere at all times. One of the Divine Attributes of Allah Almighty is that He is not like anything that we know of. Yes, there is nothing like Him. You cannot imagine Him because imagination is something created and is of yourself. He is the Creator and we are the creatures. The Creator is one thing and creation is something else. This is why it is impossible to be able even to imagine Allah Almighty. Yes, we know that He is closer to us than even ourselves. How is it then that it is possible to imagine him? Allah Almighty knows everything. He wanted to create a Deputy of Himself, who shall be the Deputy of Allah Almighty to all the other creations from the pre-eternal to the eternal. He created this Deputy to be Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace). Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), is also one and he is also unique like His Creator. There is no one like Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace). He is the Absolute Deputy of Allah Almighty, from the beginning to the end and from the pre-eternal to the eternal. What is the purpose of being Allah Almighty’s Deputy? Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), said, “Those who have seen me have seen Haqq. We must understand what he says. If you want to see Haqq look to the Prophet and you shall see Haqq with him. Allah Almighty is with him. It is impossible to imagine Allah Almighty as I said before, but it is possible to imagine and to know Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace). Yes, you can understand that the Prophet is with you. When Allah Almighty says Wa Huwa Ma Kunthum Aiyna Ma Kunthum, you cannot imagine it, but when Allah Almighty says Fee Kum Rasulullah it is possible to understand that the Prophet is with us. The Arabic means “with you, your assembly, your community, your Umma and yourself”, and that is the reason that you are able to feel and imagine that the Prophet is with you. In this manner you would be able to meet the Prophet or any of his inheritors, and you may be even able to ask any questions from them. You can also feel and imagine that they may be with you with their Spiritual Power and that they may also be simultaneously with billions of other

people. This is because you can know and imagine that their Spiritual Power can fill the Universe. The Universe is small compared with their Spiritual Power. For every Saint there is a Spiritual Scent. Each Saint has a special kind of smell just as each flower has a distinct kind of smell. When a Mureed improves spiritually he must know the scent of his Sheikh. When the smell of his Sheikh comes to him, he must know that his Sheikh is with him. If someone comes into a tannery, where they make leather out of the skin of animals, he would immediately catch hold of his nose to prevent himself breathing due to the bad smell. But the people who work in the tannery are accustomed to the bad smell and they are not even aware of it. In the same fashion the whole World is full of bad smells and the people who are now living in it have got accustomed to it. But when one comes into a clean atmosphere which Allah Almighty shall make for his sincere servant, he would be able to smell the scent of every Saint. This is a private atmosphere. To reach this you must try to follow the advice of the Saints and keep to their ways. Then gradually or maybe even suddenly an opening can come to you so that you will be able to smell and to see the unseen Worlds.

9-AL-JABBAR: The Compeller "He is the Repairer of the broken, the Completer of the lacking, the one who can enforce His will without any opposition."

9-THE GEMS AMONGST THE STONES Allah Almighty is with His beloved servant Muhammed (on whom be peace), and also with His Saints. He says “Oh! Umma, of my beloved servant Muhammed (on whom be peace), I want you to come to Me when you are feeling weak because you have been created weak. But My beloved Saint, thou has completed the purpose of thy creation, therefore I am with you, always with you”. Therefore we must visit the Saints. They are Allah Almighty’s ones with whom He is. Therefore you must find Allah Almighty with the Saints because Allah Almighty is with them and they are with Him. Do not think that when a Saint dies that he leaves Allah Almighty because he leaves the physical body. His Spiritual Body, his real being, is going to be with Allah Almighty, and will be obeying Him forever. Therefore visiting their Ziyarams (tombs) is like visiting Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty is with every Saint and every Moomin (true believer). But Allah Almighty is not with the kafirs because they do not believe in the concept of the Oneness of Allah Almighty and the Prophethood of Muhammed (on whom be peace) and also because they do bad, and because they have no room in their hearts for Allah Almighty. The Moominullah and the Waliullah (the believer in Allah and the friend of Allah) are with Allah Almighty. Therefore whoever who visits the Saints is visiting Allah Almighty. No doubt. When Allah Almighty says “Come to Me when you are weak”, it really means “Come to My representative, My beloved servant Muhammed (on whom be peace), or to My beloved Saints”. Allah Almighty also says, “you may find My beloved servants at all times among yourselves as gems amongst stones. There must be such precious servants amongst Mankind during every time. Like you look for gems, look for gems amongst Mankind. Look for them and find them.

People are risking their lives and going even under the ground in search of these small stones which are known as gems. Therefore Allah Almighty is asking, “Why is it, that you are not looking for gems amongst my servants.” Look for them. If you look you shall find them, and when you find them keep them with you because Allah Almighty is with them. If Shaitan gives you trouble run to the Saints because when you are with a Saint of Allah Almighty, Shaitan runs away. There is a story in relation, to the Power of Saints. There was a big Alim (Islamic scholar) in the early days, who was very sick and was dying. When he was in this situation Shaitan approached him to cheat him. In the meantime, a Saint by the name of Ibrahim Min Sharri Rahmathullah, was coming to see this Alim, and as soon as this Saint reached to the door of this Alim’s house the Alim said “Alhamdulillah, Shaitan just left me, when with your Lights you came near me”. Therefore remember that Shaitan escapes from every Saint because they are surrounded with Divine Lights. Blind people whose hearts are closed can never see the Power of these Lights. Both living Saints and those who have now passed away are full of Lights. The burial place of a Saint is also full of Lights. Blind people like the Wahabi people can never see these Lights. Therefore they are trying to escape. The Saint says, “Go away you blind person, why are you coming here?” Allah Almighty makes everything in perfection. Allah Almighty knows, so he says “Ask protection from Me, come running to Me through that door to the Divine Presence”. Allah Almighty has showed us that all His Saints are those who have reached safety here and in the hereafter. People cannot understand this. They are fighting and saying bad things about them because they are ignorant. Saints are the shelters for Mankind, they are springs for mankind, they are safety for mankind, they are the saviours of mankind, they are Power stations for mankind and they are Mercy for mankind. They have been granted “Karamat “(Miracles). May Allah Almighty forgive us and help us, to find and to follow His beloved servants.

10- AL-MUTAKABBIR: The Majestic, the Greatest "He is the Greatest, and greatness belongs only to Him. He will humiliate the proud, making him lowest of low, and bless the humble one."

10 -EVERYTHING IS CONTAINED IN THE HOLY QURAN

Allah Almighty says that whatever that a person may ask for is to be found in the Holy Quran. He says - Quranul Kareem Kithabul Mubeen, but we cannot enter into these Oceans of Knowledge because it is for Sahib Makamul Mahmud who is Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace). It is he who has been authorised to enter into these Oceans and to bring out pearls from it. He is the one who during a period of twenty-three years made the Holy Quran clear to the Sahabas. Everything must be found in the Holy Quran. Everything that everyone does must therefore also be found in the Holy Quran. If a person says that this meeting or association is not mentioned in the Holy Quran there will be danger for his Iman, for his belief. Yes, if Allah Almighty says that everything is in the Quran, it must then be so. This meeting too should be mentioned in it. The verse of the Holy Quran, Le Fee Hee Zikrukum, is proof of this. Allah Almighty says “Oh! Mankind you have been mentioned in the Holy Quran.” You cannot say, “how can this be?” You must believe in it. You must believe in the endless Power of Allah Almighty, in Kudratallah. You have been created weak, therefore do not try to measure huge things with your small mind. Huge things belong to Allah Almighty and that is His attribute forever. He says that everything about you is in the Holy Quran. You must believe in it. This is why the Prophet (on whom be peace), gave “Thafseer” or explanations of the Holy Quran for a period of over twenty years. Without this giving you cannot enter into these Oceans.This is why you are not able to read Quran Kareem or the Hadees of the Prophet and give an interpretation as to its meaning. You have not been authorized to do this. Therefore you must not try to give meanings to this. Today however, people who are not authorized are giving all types of meanings and interpretations of the Hadees of the Prophet (on whom be peace), and they say “I know Thafseer, I know the explanation”.

57

The Ulemas of days gone by authorized their successors and their students only after teaching them for a period of time. This period may have been for over ten years, fifteen years, twenty years, twenty-five years, thirty years or maybe even for over forty years. It is only after teaching their students for such a long period of time that they gave their students the authority to speak to people about the Holy Quran and the Hadees. I am therefore ashamed to give the meaning of a verse (Ayah) of the Quran or of the Hadees and to say that this is its meaning. Yes, I am ashamed to do this even though
