ught about that dating problem in 2000, they never thought of it! Allāh’s Big Trap! And now they are saying, “Oh! What happened? What happened? What are we going to do?!” That is a Trap – yes, al-ªamdu li-llâh! The Lord has put them in a Trap. Their heads are now empty – everything is in their computers!
Technology is the biggest enemy of humanity. And it is not just our hope, it is our belief that it will end within the second millenium,
returning everyone to their own size. Technology has inflated people’s opinions of themselves. They have become inflated like balloons, like those advertising balloons. Technology is making everyone like that, they think they are so big! Mankind you are servants! Servants. No- thing more – you are servants! You are servants of technology. Even if technology helps you, you are still servants. You cannot escape from being servants. You are always servants. And He is going to put His Will over your wishes, replacing your wishes; His Will is going to Judge everything. That is something real for Mankind to believe in.
Therefore, we are in need of a new establishment. Prepare your- self. You must think about this by yourself, because devils will never help you. Do not look to them for help. No. Devils never help man. Shay†ān advised Adam, hoping to throw him in Jahannam, Hell, because anyone listening to the advice of Shay†ān is thrown into Jahannam, into trouble, endless trouble. Shay†ān and his followers are the first-class trouble makers. Follow the Ways of Heavens, then you should be happy, you should be in peace. So many people will leave this life if they insist on being bad. (Tape ends.)
RÂBI‘AH SULtÂN
ST ANNE’S, LONDON
Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, ‘Azîz Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Karîm Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Subªân Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Sul†ân Allâh!
The real aim for you, for everyone, is to reach to the Sul†ān. And the Sul†ān is inviting you. The Sul†ān is inviting you! He says, “Come to Me!“ Is it or is it not written in all Holy Books? It is writ- ten. Madad yâ sul†ân al-anbiyâ’, madad yâ sul†ân al-awliyâ’.
Allāh Almighty is One that can clothe His servants in the Robes of the Sul†ān. Whomsoever He has dressed in the Robes of the Sul†ān
then belongs to the Sul†ān. He becomes one that may say of some- thing, “Be!“, and it becomes. He is carrying the Divine Orders of the Sul†ān and no-one can object to that Order. If any ordinary sul†ān gives his authority to someone no-one may reject or object to it, so what if the Lord of Heavens, Allāh Almighty, gives His Divine Au- thority to His servant? No-one, in this universe, or any of the other universes, can reject His Orders.
What is the way for servants to reach that station? Allāh Almighty says, “Yâ ‘abdî a‘†inî aj‘aluka rabaniyyan!” That is Allāh Almighty’s address to His servants, “O My servant, you must be fully obedient to Me, to My Orders, as well as to My Will,” because sometimes a person may be obedient but in his heart he is not happy with this obedience, he is following by force. But Allāh Almighty never likes His servants to be obedient to Him by force.
One of the biggest, or king-size walî, saints, is Rābi‘ah al-‘Adawiy- yah, Rābi‘ah Sul†ān. We address her as Rābi‘ah Sul†ān because she is robed by the Sul†ān in the Dress of His Sultanate, Rābi‘ah Sul†ān. May Allāh bless her, and for her honour give honour to all of you. She addressed her Lord, and said, “O my Lord, O my Sul†ān, I am not coming to You because I am running after Paradise and I am not one who is running to You in fear of Hell. I am free. I give myself for You. I am coming to You through my Love to You. You are the only One to whom I may give myself with all my love. Even if Paradise or Hell had not been created, I would not leave You, because You are the One that must be praised, must be loved, must be respected, must be obeyed!”
Such people are free, they are not slaves, they are the chosen ones among servants. They exist only for the Lord of Heavens, for Allāh Almighty. They are free, they have no interest in dunyā, they have no interest in Paradise or Hell. They are only occupied with their Lord’s Love and their obedience to Him, they ask only the Sul†ān’s Pleasure. They have no other target. They never ask for their ego’s pleasure or gratification, because they know that if their Lord, the Sul†ān, is happy with them, then they should be in absolute happiness. If their Sul†ān is Pleased with them, they will never be displeased. Never!
Absolute pleasure, peace, and love; endless satisfaction, endless en- joyment and endless pleasure come from being with Him, Almighty Allāh. They never look for anything else.
On the Night Journey of the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidinā Mukam- mad, peace be upon him, Allāh Almighty showed him everything that He has created. Allāh showed him all the beauty that He has granted to His creatures but the Prophet never looked at anything except unto Him, “Mâ zâgha l-basar wa mâ hawâ.” That is a short verse that indicates his real personality, and honour, and power; his state in the Divine Presence – he gave himself unto Himself, and there was no more Mukammad, peace be upon him, there. He was with Him. He reached his last target: as every river runs, every river runs unto the ocean and on reaching the ocean there is no more running. The rivers’ target is to reach the ocean, when they reach the ocean, they finish. There is no more running. As when a drop falls from the skies – a drop of water, or a drop of rain comes unto the ocean – can you find it? When that drop has reached the ocean, can you find it? It has become ocean ... You have been granted one drop from your Lord, one drop of love, one drop of existence – try to give it back to that Endless Ocean of Love and Existence, the Unity Oceans of the Lord Almighty Allāh, then you should be with the Ocean. Never again will you be taken out, never again will you be alone.
Therefore, Rābi‘ah al-‘Adawiyyah was asking to reach her Lord. She said, “I was asking, I was saying, “Allāh, Allāh, Allāh, Allāh, Allāh ... I was asking, calling Him, and it was so heavy for my ego to call the name of my Lord, because my ego was so frightened of being with Him. My ego was never happy to leave itself and to surrender to the Lord. Therefore, whenever I was saying, Allāh, Allāh, Allāh, it was so heavy on my ego, but I never left it. For eleven (seven?) years each time I said, Allāh, it was as if I was carrying a mountain on my shoulders, but I never left it, I persisted until I reached to a point that my ego left me, I was free. I was free. I was with my Lord, my ego melted and finished and I was with my Lord.”
O people! O Mankind! There is a big chance for everyone to reach their Lord’s Divine Presence because He is Asking for you to come to
Him! Yes. Jesus Christ went to His Lord. Or do you think he went somewhere else, do you think he reached someone other than his Lord? And Moses, peace be upon him, reached his Lord. Do you think he went to Mount Sinai to watch a film? Was he going to the cinema? Do you think that Moses went to the cinema there on Sinai? ‘The Mount Sinai Cinema’? What do you think? He was running after His Lord’s invitation! Allāh called him, “O Moses, come to Me, come to Me!” He was given a sign: with a very strange fire. Nothing like your fires; his whole body was burning, but the fire was not burning wood or rocks. Yet he felt his body burning just from looking at that fire. He ran into fire to meet his Lord. Now where are our Jewish broth- ers? Running to dunyā. And our Christian brothers? Running after dunyā. They say, “We are the most moderate, most modern, most civilised people.” Ha! They are like ants running around on the earth. But look at ants! They reach a point where they ask to fly unto the Almighty. They ask for wings and Allāh Almighty grants them wings! Look, you are not taking any wisdom from ants! Man! You are like lizards – civilised Europeans! Jews and Christians have become like lizards by hording so much from dunyā. And our poor Muslims are saying, “What shall we do? We must follow the Europeans. Western people are civilised, we must run after them – perhaps then we may attain something from dunyā.”
They are not learning from ants! Ants are asking, “Give us wings! So that we may fly a little bit up to You!” Yet we are not asking. And our wings are ready – if you ask for your spiritual wings they can carry you, without a rocket you may go up! Any star that you may look at, before your eyes reach to that point you may be there and beyond! We have such powerful wings, but we prefer to be lizards crawling on the earth. Lizards are sometimes very angry with each other, sometimes one bites another’s tail. When it is without a tail others attack him and bite their eyes; then they are without their eyes. Lizards, fight when they are angry with each other. And the most civilised people, twentieth century people are saying, “Oh, religion!” They never look up. They are fighting each other, eating each other. Lâ ªawla wa lâ quwwata illâ bi-llâhi l-‘aliyyi l-‘a|îm.
Ask for wings! Moses reached to his Lord! Jesus Christ reached to his Lord! The Seal of Prophets, peace be upon him, reached to his Lord, here and hereafter. But what about their nations? They are trying to catch dunyā, although one day they are going to be nailed in their coffins. Our corpse will be taken and put in a coffin, a strong coffin. Muslim coffins are so easy, we are not nailing them closed because no Muslim is asking to come back and jump out of his cof- fin! But here modern people are so anxious for their share of dunyā, their inheritance, that they fear they may jump out and come back! Therefore, they nail the lid so securely that they can not jump out. They bury them in their coffin. They bury them in the graveyard; no-one is able to come out, but they say, “No, no! Make it a heavy coffin, a strong one, and bury it deep! Cover it with one, two, three tons of earth then they won’t be able to get out!”
And one day people find themselves in their coffins, and they are going to be unhappy to be put in the earth. I have said so many times, open that coffin and put even one handful of earth inside for the smell, because the body, the body is anxious to touch, to touch their real mother – Earth. It is asking to reach the earth. But modern people prevent them from reaching the earth. The body, when a person dies, the body desires to reach the earth as soon as possible. Therefore, it is not right to delay the burial or to prevent the dead body from touching the earth. If you prevent this it is like a person who has just married and you place a hindrance between him and his wife such that he can only stand outside looking, “I can’t reach, I can’t reach, I can’t reach!” What is this! Perhaps that body cannot reach the earth for one hundred years because outside is wood and inside is metal. Metal coffins. That is another punishment, or ‘adhāb, torment. People never like being imprisoned in their coffin, but they cannot say anything, or if they are saying something we cannot hear them. One day people will find themselves in that heavy coffin and see that they are finished. They will realise that they have missed their chance to reach the higher levels, to reach their Lord’s Oceans of Pleasure and Satisfaction.
O people! Look once again to your positions. Day by day we are coming closer to our last day. Everyone will have a last day. It is
we bri n g troub le o n ours elve s
not going to be the same for everyone, but there will be a last day of everyone’s life. You must try to prepare for that ‘Welcome’, or not, from Allāh Almighty, from your Lord. That is our short asso- ciation for today. I think that this is firstly for my ego, my ego is being reminded, and everyone may remind themselves of that day. Who knows when that day will be? It is an unknown day for almost everyone. Only the Friends of Allāh are informed of that day, so that they may prepare themselves to be in a most excellent state. Once Allāh Almighty ordered the Angel of Death, the Archangel of Death, ‘Azrā’îl: “O ‘Azrā’îl, go after one of My Friends, you should find him in that place and bring his soul to My Divine Presence.” And he went to that one as Allāh Almighty had ordered, and he looked for him. He looked around and found a person half buried in the earth, covered up to his middle, half buried in this oven-like place in the earth. (Tape ends) The story continues: This saint had been lying there waiting impatiently for ‘Azrā’îl to come. Allāh had informed him of this date, he had known of this appointment for some time. For the Friends of Allāh, the day on which ‘Azrā’îl comes to take them is the best of days for they have spent their lives waiting to meet their Lord.
WE BRING TROUBLE ON OURSELVES
AT A DINNER
... people, foolish people always blame Allāh Almighty, they treat themselves in the worst possible way and then accuse Allāh when they suffer! Like Shay†ān – he disobeyed His Lord’s Command, and when he was cursed and kicked down he began to accuse Allāh, “You are wrong! I was right not to bow to Adam! You are wrong! Why are You ordering me to make sajdah to Adam? You know that I am more honoured than Adam, I was Your servant! I was the one who was in Your Divine Service, making sajdah and teaching the angels! My rank must be over his rank! You have only just created him, he hasn’t even made one sajdah, and You order all Your angels to make
sajdah to him, including me!? I am not one of those who make sajdah to Adam! I will never make sajdah to him!” So he was kicked out. He brought this trouble on himself, he has brought his suffering on himself.
Nothing can touch Allāh. Nothing can make Allāh Almighty suffer. Nothing can make Him sad. Nothing affects Him. Shay†ān disobeyed so he was kicked out. Allāh is not sorry or sad for Shay†ān. He is not suffering because Shay†ān has been thrown out and cursed. No. Suffering belongs to Shay†ān. Suffering is for Shay†ān and began when he started to fight his Lord Almighty, Allāh. And suffering is for everyone who tries to fight their Lord. They must suffer. When you go against Allāh Almighty’s Will you suffer, because you are given your punishment through yourself. That is the reason that people suffer.
Yes, everyone prepares for themselves a good life, a happy life, or a life filled with trouble and suffering. Everyone who is in peace with Allāh cannot be touched by anything. No trouble, no suffering, can touch him. Allāh Almgithy says that those who are with Allāh – noth- ing touches them, nothing harms them, nothing hurts them, nothing gives sorrow or trouble to those people! They are in na‘îm – Paradise, blessings and favours reach them through this life. But disobedient people, particularly those who are fighting against Allāh Almighty’s Will, suffer so that before going to Jakîm, Hell, their lives here are also Hell. Everyone must look after themselves. You may choose to be in happiness, in peace, in Paradise here, or to be in Hell. People have been given everything – but they are living their life here in Hell. The majority of people have every favour from Allāh Almighty, yet they are living in Hell. May Allāh forgive us. Âmîn.
Al-ªamdu li-llâh, al-ªamdu li-llâh, Ash-shukru li-llâh, ash-shukru li-llâh, Al-ªamdu li-llâh, al-ªamdu li-llâh, Ash-shukru li-llâh, ash-shukru li-llâh,
Astaghfiru llâh, astaghfiru llâh, astaghfiru llâh!
TURN YOUR HEARTS TO ALLÂH
KHUtBAH
The Last Day is approaching, very quickly approaching. So quickly that you cannot imagine it. One hundred and twenty-four thousand prophets passed away. The Seal of Prophets came almost fifteen hundred years ago, and his era is coming to an end. And thousands of years – I am not saying that man has lived on this Earth for millions of years, we have only lived on it for 7,500 years – and thousands of years have passed. Billions of people are underground, in known or unknown graves, and they are waiting for the Day of Resurrection, waiting to stand up. They are waiting. You are lucky that you are not going to be underground for long, but billions have been waiting for the Trumpet for thousands of years; waiting to stand and be asked, “What did you understand in your life? Did you learn anything?What did you understand? Come and give your report.” And if you do not know, He will show you.
O people! Do not be worried about your physical life. No, your eternal life is through your spiritual being. This physical body may live fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, one hundred or more years. But it cannot reach two hundred years, it is not eternal. Therefore, O believers! As much as you are thinking of your eternal life you must take much more care of your spiritual being!
And time is over. And we hope there is a change coming on Earth to take away these violent ones. Such accursed ones. Any moment curses could come from the Heavens, but Allāh Almighty is sending punishment on twentieth century people through each other, not through the angels. O people, when you turn towards the Ka‘bah you must turn your hearts towards Allāh Almighty’s Divine Pres- ence and you must ask forgiveness. You must ask for mercy from His Endless Mercy Oceans. You must ask for His Mercy to change this bad situation to a good situation. The bad way is to follow Shay†ān.
The good way is to turn from Shay†ān and devils, and to run to fol- low the ways of prophets, and saints, and good ones.
NATURAL HEALTH
ST ANNE’S, LONDON
That is a good flower – the Narcissus. It is an oriental flower ... there are also flowers that have no smell, they have a fine appearance but no smell. Flowers with a good smell come from our countries, and, according to traditional knowledge, smelling flowers supports our health. Everyone of man, man means men and women, has some ‘nerves’ in their heads which are the main reason for madness. There is a ‘vein’ that is a reason for becoming mad, and if a person, even only once a year, smelled this Narcissus, that madness would stop. This is an important point for European people, because they have two of these veins!
For everything that you do, first give your most high greetings to Mukammad. Everything will have a good outcome if you give your respect to your Lord, and to Sayyidinā Mukammad ... [Shaykh then paused to sip a glass of water and made this du‘ā’ before drinking:] Bismi llâhi r-raªmâni r-raªîm, Allâhumma salli ‘alâ Muªammad, yâ Shâfî, yâ Shâfî ...
My teeth are falling out and we are sitting here to talk about Islamic Health! ... Madness – there are at least seventy kinds of madness, I have listed more than seventy among Europeans and it is clear why: because most of them drink. Alcohol causes that madness, foolish- ness, idiocy, in Europeans.
We say, As-salâmu ‘alaikum! A‘ûdhu bi-llâhi mina sh-shay†âni r-rajîm, and bismi llâhi r-raªmâni r-raªîm, then He helps us. And when He is helping you, everything helps you. And when you are pleasing your Lord, Allāh Almighty orders everything around you to help you, and support you, and to give you enjoyment. Therefore, if someone is asking for health, to live healthily, then they must try to make
Allāh Almighty pleased with them. Without asking Allāh Almighty to be pleased with you, you cannot be happy, you cannot be in peace, successful, healthy, victorious. Anything you are hoping to reach can only succeed if you are intending to please Allāh Almighty. Then all closed doors open to you. If not, all open doors close to you.
Do you understand my English? I went to “The Shakespeare School”, in Cyprus, therefore I speak “Shakespeare English!” Is there anyone else here who speaks, “Shakespeare English”? I do not think so! ... If you have more knowledge you may give it, but to anyone asking more power I am the one who can give that. I am authorised through the Divine Command, therefore, it is better to be here buy- ing rather than selling.
Everything originates from one point, as a tent without a pole cannot stand. Man must know that this body is an amānah, a sacred trust for your safekeeping. Everyone’s physical body is a grant from the Creator, and He says, “Please treat My grant with respect. Don’t use it badly. Don’t use it mindlessly. Don’t use it stupidly. Don’t use it madly. Don’t use it ignorantly. No. Treasure My grant to you. It is My grant to you, and you must take the best care of what I grant to you.”
That is the first command from Allāh Almighty to everyone, to everyone. And the guiding rule of keeping it carefully, of taking care, is that you must not use your body for forbidden actions. You must not use it for forbidden actions. You were never permitted to use your body for forbidden things. That is disrespect for your Lord. He is asking you to keep this grant in the best way, and when you use it in a forbidden way, for forbidden actions, you should be punished. Without doubt you will be punished, here and hereafter. Do not think that physicians and their medicines can help you, no, they will only increase your suffering and misery.
If you are mistreating Allāh’s grant, do not delude yourself that healing gives you a rest. Do not think that acupuncture can benefit you. Do not think that some Harley Street specialist can prescribe something to help you. Do not imagine that atomic medicine could benefit you – even if a pill had ‘atomic power’... Painkillers give you
some amusement for a few hours, but they are not treatment, they cannot give health. Most medicines are just painkillers. If you are not obeying the Holy Command of Allāh Almighty, do not think that there may be help for you. However, if you are in peace and agree- ment with your Lord Allāh Almighty, then even drinking water can cure you. Therefore, it is important for the life of man to take care of their Creator’s Command before curses come on them from the Heavens. If Heaven is cursing you, there is no cure.
I think that is enough for you, it is enough. I thank you for enquir- ing about health issues, because most people now complain that they are not healthy. They use so many medicines to try and maintain their normal bodily functions and this is very bad for them. To fol- low what doctors are advising and prescribing is very bad practise for Mankind, because doctors just lead people to live their lives dominated by tablets. Hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly; they cause people to live abnormal lives. Very few people are not using tablets. It begins in childhood. And for the rest of their lives they use tablets to give more comfort and pleasure. But it destroys the body and the psyche from the inside. Then they need to use other drugs to repair their psyche too, and they continue using drugs up to their death.
Try to use what Allāh Almighty has given us through nature. Natural medicines from the plant world, herbs: these give you com- plete health, but the effect is not going to be immediate. It will be slow, slowly reached. Those artificial medicines are poisoning and killing our inner feelings, and when finishing them you feel noth- ing, you think you have reached health and rest – but never! If you use herbal medicines they help you, slowly, slowly – use them and harm never comes to your body, they never harm your body or give a burden to your physical body.
Question: What about life threatening diseases, what drugs should we use?
The Prophet’s traditional advice is that before you reach breaking point you should look to prevention. When they are broken they then
run to the doctor. But doctors do not use herbal medicine because patients are impatient people. Also, there is population control on Earth: governments are asking doctors to reduce the population on Earth, therefore they give these medicines, which are really poisons, then they die and doctors say, “Oh! There was nothing else we could do.”
Question: Should we give vaccinations to babies?
Trusting Allāh to prevent illness is good, we give charity for this. But Allāh Almighty also shows ways for protection, and small ones are quickly affected by some illnesses because of the sins of the grown-ups, therefore vaccination is a kind of protection from Allāh Almighty.*
Question: Smoking cigarettes?
Smoking cigarettes kills the body slowly, it slowly poisons you. They print huge posters and write at the bottom: Caution Smoking Kills! ... And there is another point that I must state: Scans are ter- rible and dangerous for babies. Do not have scans, or use ultrasound (the electronic listening machines that are used to monitor the baby’s heartbeat) when you are pregnant! Not even when giving birth, not at all! Every day mummies are coming to me and complaining about their babies. Every harm, genetic and otherwise, comes to you and them from these scans.
* (Shaykh usually recommends not to vaccinate, and then give charity in the name of God with the intention of seeking His Protection. Current vaccines have serious side effects.)
THE MOST VALUABLE JEWEL
ST ANNE’S, LONDON
You are Sul†ān, no-one else can be. Everyone must be servants.
Allâhu Akbar! Allâhu Akbar! Hû! Allâhu Akbar! Allâhu Akbar!
Allâhumma salli ‘alâ Muªammad, wa ‘alâ âlihi wa saªbihi wa sallim ...
We are here for the Almighty, for the sake of Allāh and for the love of Sayyidinā Mukammad. Out of love and respect for Him, we have come here. We are all servants, men and women, even if you are covered in jewels you are still servants. Dressed in crowns – you are still servants. If you put a golden saddle on a donkey has it changed? It may claim: I am something else, something different, but what is different? It still has four legs and a tail, even if it says: My saddle is gold! Maybe your saddle is gold, but you are still a donkey. Other donkeys will never accept him as anything else. It may say: I am a VIP donkey! But we do not recognise such VIP donkeys. Because of your saddle are you going to be a VIP? And people today think that because of their dress they are someone else!
We are asking Allāh Almighty to fix our feet on His Path towards Him, that is our aim. That is what we ask of Allāh Almighty. May imān be with us permanently, may we live on that path, and may we enter the Divine Presence with – Lâ ilâha illâ llâh Muªammadun Rasûl Allâh, salla llâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Whoever may keep this trust from Allāh Almighty is lucky. He is a lucky one, he returns to Allāh Almighty with his trust intact. That trust is the most valuable jewel. It is the most valuable jewel, most precious. Therefore, when Shay†ān lost it and was thrown out of the Divine Presence he became so angry, and so jealous, and so proud, and so stubborn; he carried so
much enmity for Mankind, that he is always running after Mankind to steal it from them and make them like himself. Shay†ān is able to carry people from Paradise to Hells.
At the beginning, in Paradise, he came and cheated Adam and Eve, ‘alayhim salâm, taking them out of Paradise. Adam, Sayyidi- nā Adam, upon him be peace, advised us all, “O my children! Try not to be cheated by devils, by Shay†ān! I have been cheated, I was in Paradise, and I fell into troubles, sufferings, and miseries due to Shay†ān. He cheated me, don’t let yourselves to be cheated!” That is in the Torah, the Old Testament, the New Testament; it is in all Holy Books. Every prophet, every messenger, says, “O people! Your grandfather was cheated by Shay†ān, try not to be cheated too!” He cheated Adam with one fruit, with one forbidden command. The Lord of Heavens ordered, “I am making everything in Paradise kalāl for you, you may eat, you may enjoy everything, only that one fruit is forbidden, don’t approach it!”
It was through only one thing that Shay†ān cheated them. They ate from that one fruit. Then they found themselves on Earth, it was nighttime, they came in darkness. Through darkness they came, and Adam landed in Serendip, Ceylon, now it has a modern name Sri Lanka, yes, the people there are becoming modern. He came to Adam’s Peak, on the highest point of that mountain he made his first footstep. His footprint is still there. And our grandmother landed in Jiddah, Saudia Arabia, in Óijāz. It was such a sorrowful and horrorfy- ing event: to leave the Lights of Paradise, to be thrown away from Paradise and to fall through darkness onto the Earth. Only one tree was forbidden, and Shay†ān cheated them on that one command, one forbidden thing made them fall into trouble.
Now Shay†ān is making you approach and eat every forbidden thing that you see. This takes you away from mercy, this carries you away from Mercy Oceans, and brings you to cursed areas. Even in small things: do not say makrûh* is a small sin, no! No! Whose com- mand are you refusing? You are refusing Allāh Almighty’s Command!
* Between kalāl, permitted, and karām, forbidden, lies makruh, disliked.
Employees working in businesses, employees are careful not to make a mistake, careful not to make a small mistake because it may mean a large loss of money. Why are you not thinking? Where is your adab for Allāh? Allāh Almighty’s adab – you are drinking alcohol! To drinks Allāh Almighty says, “O My servants! It is shay†ānic behaviour!”
Are you not going to stop drinking? Are you not going to stop do- ing satanic work? How far are you going to go with satanic acts? How far are you going to take that satanic behaviour?! Satan says, “Like this, like this!” And people run after it! That is the main source of all crises, troubles and sufferings on Earth. “To what point are you intending to follow Satan? Are you intending to follow Satan up to death? You’re not thinking of following Me? You’re not intending to follow My prophets, My saints?” Say, “We are intending – help us not to follow satanic actings, we are intending to follow – only accept that sometimes we are weak!”
There must be something wrong when you trip over stones. If you are going to Allāh stones cannot touch you, the way is smooth, it is not a rough way. Everytime something touches you and hurts you, you must think that you have done something wrong. You have performed some satanic act that permits that stone to hurt you. We have been created to be examples of goodness. Everyone must try to be examples of the best and then they will be shown in the Heavens as signs, as examples, of the best on Earth; heavenly beings look to these because they are surrounded by Lights that may be seen so high in the Heavens. Try to be the best ones on Earth, for these Lights to come to you from the Heavens. Try to be surrounded by Lights, and to be sources of Mercy, because Mercy comes on the best ones.
And if you are not so intent on being of the best, then at least try to be with one of the best, to reach enlightenment through association with him; to reach Mercy through him. The prophets and saints are surrounded in Heavenly Lights, therefore, Allāh Almighty ordered His servants to run to be their companions. It is a Divine Order for everyone to seek out one of His Friends and be with him. Being in the company of the best – that is a Divine Order for everyone.
But Satan is turning so many people into ‘squareheads’ by telling them not to seek the company of the good ... “Don’t accompany good ones! everyone must stand alone!” The best ones read Holy Qur’ān and Holy kadîth, and read about the sakābah, the companions of Rasûl, salla llâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, who were always with him and are in his company forever. But now when Shay†ān and his devils see someone coming to be in the company of good ones, they say, “Don’t follow that one it is shirk!” What is that mentality? Leave us free to be with the Purified Ones, through that we may beat the satanic kingdom. If they do not join the company of the good, they will always be following the bad.
You only need to follow one: the sakābah followed Rasûl, salla llâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. If you can find one now it does not have any- thing to do with shirk, you are not setting up a partner with Allāh Almighty – that idea is aimed at destroying Islām from the inside. You cannot destroy it from the outside because people would see through it, but they are trying to do it from the inside, and swearing publicly, slandering the awliyā’ who only ever follow Islām! Intend that your name be written amongst the Highest Assembly in the Divine Presence, aim for your name to be inscribed; for your name to be mentioned there, and that it be said of you, “That one is one of the best!“ And the way is open, you are free to reach that station! May Allāh bless you and forgive me ...
For everything here has a beginning and an end. In this life every- one is coming or going. Someone comes, someone goes, that rhythm on the Earth never ends. Everything is moving – someone comes. Everything is moving – someone goes. Someone arrives, someone departs. This year we have been with you for forty-five days. I came by the heavenly command of our Lord, Allāh Almighty, and I intend to leave tomorrow for another meeting with some of Allāh Almighty’s other servants. I am entrusting you to Allāh Almighty’s Mercy, and Allāh Almighty’s Mercy covers everything. This advice that they are giving to me for you is good advice, it is always go- ing to be true, it will never diminish – so follow it! Cultivate your good characteristics: follow goodness and mercy, love

ught about that dating problem in 2000, they never thought of it! Allāh’s Big Trap! And now they are saying, “Oh! What happened? What happened? What are we going to do?!” That is a Trap – yes, al-ªamdu li-llâh! The Lord has put them in a Trap. Their heads are now empty – everything is in their computers!
Technology is the biggest enemy of humanity. And it is not just our hope, it is our belief that it will end within the second millenium,
returning everyone to their own size. Technology has inflated people’s opinions of themselves. They have become inflated like balloons, like those advertising balloons. Technology is making everyone like that, they think they are so big! Mankind you are servants! Servants. No- thing more – you are servants! You are servants of technology. Even if technology helps you, you are still servants. You cannot escape from being servants. You are always servants. And He is going to put His Will over your wishes, replacing your wishes; His Will is going to Judge everything. That is something real for Mankind to believe in.
Therefore, we are in need of a new establishment. Prepare your- self. You must think about this by yourself, because devils will never help you. Do not look to them for help. No. Devils never help man. Shay†ān advised Adam, hoping to throw him in Jahannam, Hell, because anyone listening to the advice of Shay†ān is thrown into Jahannam, into trouble, endless trouble. Shay†ān and his followers are the first-class trouble makers. Follow the Ways of Heavens, then you should be happy, you should be in peace. So many people will leave this life if they insist on being bad. (Tape ends.)
RÂBI‘AH SULtÂN
ST ANNE’S, LONDON
Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, ‘Azîz Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Karîm Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Subªân Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Allâh Allâh, Sul†ân Allâh!
The real aim for you, for everyone, is to reach to the Sul†ān. And the Sul†ān is inviting you. The Sul†ān is inviting you! He says, “Come to Me!“ Is it or is it not written in all Holy Books? It is writ- ten. Madad yâ sul†ân al-anbiyâ’, madad yâ sul†ân al-awliyâ’.
Allāh Almighty is One that can clothe His servants in the Robes of the Sul†ān. Whomsoever He has dressed in the Robes of the Sul†ān
then belongs to the Sul†ān. He becomes one that may say of some- thing, “Be!“, and it becomes. He is carrying the Divine Orders of the Sul†ān and no-one can object to that Order. If any ordinary sul†ān gives his authority to someone no-one may reject or object to it, so what if the Lord of Heavens, Allāh Almighty, gives His Divine Au- thority to His servant? No-one, in this universe, or any of the other universes, can reject His Orders.
What is the way for servants to reach that station? Allāh Almighty says, “Yâ ‘abdî a‘†inî aj‘aluka rabaniyyan!” That is Allāh Almighty’s address to His servants, “O My servant, you must be fully obedient to Me, to My Orders, as well as to My Will,” because sometimes a person may be obedient but in his heart he is not happy with this obedience, he is following by force. But Allāh Almighty never likes His servants to be obedient to Him by force.
One of the biggest, or king-size walî, saints, is Rābi‘ah al-‘Adawiy- yah, Rābi‘ah Sul†ān. We address her as Rābi‘ah Sul†ān because she is robed by the Sul†ān in the Dress of His Sultanate, Rābi‘ah Sul†ān. May Allāh bless her, and for her honour give honour to all of you. She addressed her Lord, and said, “O my Lord, O my Sul†ān, I am not coming to You because I am running after Paradise and I am not one who is running to You in fear of Hell. I am free. I give myself for You. I am coming to You through my Love to You. You are the only One to whom I may give myself with all my love. Even if Paradise or Hell had not been created, I would not leave You, because You are the One that must be praised, must be loved, must be respected, must be obeyed!”
Such people are free, they are not slaves, they are the chosen ones among servants. They exist only for the Lord of Heavens, for Allāh Almighty. They are free, they have no interest in dunyā, they have no interest in Paradise or Hell. They are only occupied with their Lord’s Love and their obedience to Him, they ask only the Sul†ān’s Pleasure. They have no other target. They never ask for their ego’s pleasure or gratification, because they know that if their Lord, the Sul†ān, is happy with them, then they should be in absolute happiness. If their Sul†ān is Pleased with them, they will never be displeased. Never!
Absolute pleasure, peace, and love; endless satisfaction, endless en- joyment and endless pleasure come from being with Him, Almighty Allāh. They never look for anything else.
On the Night Journey of the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidinā Mukam- mad, peace be upon him, Allāh Almighty showed him everything that He has created. Allāh showed him all the beauty that He has granted to His creatures but the Prophet never looked at anything except unto Him, “Mâ zâgha l-basar wa mâ hawâ.” That is a short verse that indicates his real personality, and honour, and power; his state in the Divine Presence – he gave himself unto Himself, and there was no more Mukammad, peace be upon him, there. He was with Him. He reached his last target: as every river runs, every river runs unto the ocean and on reaching the ocean there is no more running. The rivers’ target is to reach the ocean, when they reach the ocean, they finish. There is no more running. As when a drop falls from the skies – a drop of water, or a drop of rain comes unto the ocean – can you find it? When that drop has reached the ocean, can you find it? It has become ocean ... You have been granted one drop from your Lord, one drop of love, one drop of existence – try to give it back to that Endless Ocean of Love and Existence, the Unity Oceans of the Lord Almighty Allāh, then you should be with the Ocean. Never again will you be taken out, never again will you be alone.
Therefore, Rābi‘ah al-‘Adawiyyah was asking to reach her Lord. She said, “I was asking, I was saying, “Allāh, Allāh, Allāh, Allāh, Allāh ... I was asking, calling Him, and it was so heavy for my ego to call the name of my Lord, because my ego was so frightened of being with Him. My ego was never happy to leave itself and to surrender to the Lord. Therefore, whenever I was saying, Allāh, Allāh, Allāh, it was so heavy on my ego, but I never left it. For eleven (seven?) years each time I said, Allāh, it was as if I was carrying a mountain on my shoulders, but I never left it, I persisted until I reached to a point that my ego left me, I was free. I was free. I was with my Lord, my ego melted and finished and I was with my Lord.”
O people! O Mankind! There is a big chance for everyone to reach their Lord’s Divine Presence because He is Asking for you to come to
Him! Yes. Jesus Christ went to His Lord. Or do you think he went somewhere else, do you think he reached someone other than his Lord? And Moses, peace be upon him, reached his Lord. Do you think he went to Mount Sinai to watch a film? Was he going to the cinema? Do you think that Moses went to the cinema there on Sinai? ‘The Mount Sinai Cinema’? What do you think? He was running after His Lord’s invitation! Allāh called him, “O Moses, come to Me, come to Me!” He was given a sign: with a very strange fire. Nothing like your fires; his whole body was burning, but the fire was not burning wood or rocks. Yet he felt his body burning just from looking at that fire. He ran into fire to meet his Lord. Now where are our Jewish broth- ers? Running to dunyā. And our Christian brothers? Running after dunyā. They say, “We are the most moderate, most modern, most civilised people.” Ha! They are like ants running around on the earth. But look at ants! They reach a point where they ask to fly unto the Almighty. They ask for wings and Allāh Almighty grants them wings! Look, you are not taking any wisdom from ants! Man! You are like lizards – civilised Europeans! Jews and Christians have become like lizards by hording so much from dunyā. And our poor Muslims are saying, “What shall we do? We must follow the Europeans. Western people are civilised, we must run after them – perhaps then we may attain something from dunyā.”
They are not learning from ants! Ants are asking, “Give us wings! So that we may fly a little bit up to You!” Yet we are not asking. And our wings are ready – if you ask for your spiritual wings they can carry you, without a rocket you may go up! Any star that you may look at, before your eyes reach to that point you may be there and beyond! We have such powerful wings, but we prefer to be lizards crawling on the earth. Lizards are sometimes very angry with each other, sometimes one bites another’s tail. When it is without a tail others attack him and bite their eyes; then they are without their eyes. Lizards, fight when they are angry with each other. And the most civilised people, twentieth century people are saying, “Oh, religion!” They never look up. They are fighting each other, eating each other. Lâ ªawla wa lâ quwwata illâ bi-llâhi l-‘aliyyi l-‘a|îm.
Ask for wings! Moses reached to his Lord! Jesus Christ reached to his Lord! The Seal of Prophets, peace be upon him, reached to his Lord, here and hereafter. But what about their nations? They are trying to catch dunyā, although one day they are going to be nailed in their coffins. Our corpse will be taken and put in a coffin, a strong coffin. Muslim coffins are so easy, we are not nailing them closed because no Muslim is asking to come back and jump out of his cof- fin! But here modern people are so anxious for their share of dunyā, their inheritance, that they fear they may jump out and come back! Therefore, they nail the lid so securely that they can not jump out. They bury them in their coffin. They bury them in the graveyard; no-one is able to come out, but they say, “No, no! Make it a heavy coffin, a strong one, and bury it deep! Cover it with one, two, three tons of earth then they won’t be able to get out!”
And one day people find themselves in their coffins, and they are going to be unhappy to be put in the earth. I have said so many times, open that coffin and put even one handful of earth inside for the smell, because the body, the body is anxious to touch, to touch their real mother – Earth. It is asking to reach the earth. But modern people prevent them from reaching the earth. The body, when a person dies, the body desires to reach the earth as soon as possible. Therefore, it is not right to delay the burial or to prevent the dead body from touching the earth. If you prevent this it is like a person who has just married and you place a hindrance between him and his wife such that he can only stand outside looking, “I can’t reach, I can’t reach, I can’t reach!” What is this! Perhaps that body cannot reach the earth for one hundred years because outside is wood and inside is metal. Metal coffins. That is another punishment, or ‘adhāb, torment. People never like being imprisoned in their coffin, but they cannot say anything, or if they are saying something we cannot hear them. One day people will find themselves in that heavy coffin and see that they are finished. They will realise that they have missed their chance to reach the higher levels, to reach their Lord’s Oceans of Pleasure and Satisfaction.
O people! Look once again to your positions. Day by day we are coming closer to our last day. Everyone will have a last day. It is
we bri n g troub le o n ours elve s
not going to be the same for everyone, but there will be a last day of everyone’s life. You must try to prepare for that ‘Welcome’, or not, from Allāh Almighty, from your Lord. That is our short asso- ciation for today. I think that this is firstly for my ego, my ego is being reminded, and everyone may remind themselves of that day. Who knows when that day will be? It is an unknown day for almost everyone. Only the Friends of Allāh are informed of that day, so that they may prepare themselves to be in a most excellent state. Once Allāh Almighty ordered the Angel of Death, the Archangel of Death, ‘Azrā’îl: “O ‘Azrā’îl, go after one of My Friends, you should find him in that place and bring his soul to My Divine Presence.” And he went to that one as Allāh Almighty had ordered, and he looked for him. He looked around and found a person half buried in the earth, covered up to his middle, half buried in this oven-like place in the earth. (Tape ends) The story continues: This saint had been lying there waiting impatiently for ‘Azrā’îl to come. Allāh had informed him of this date, he had known of this appointment for some time. For the Friends of Allāh, the day on which ‘Azrā’îl comes to take them is the best of days for they have spent their lives waiting to meet their Lord.
WE BRING TROUBLE ON OURSELVES
AT A DINNER
... people, foolish people always blame Allāh Almighty, they treat themselves in the worst possible way and then accuse Allāh when they suffer! Like Shay†ān – he disobeyed His Lord’s Command, and when he was cursed and kicked down he began to accuse Allāh, “You are wrong! I was right not to bow to Adam! You are wrong! Why are You ordering me to make sajdah to Adam? You know that I am more honoured than Adam, I was Your servant! I was the one who was in Your Divine Service, making sajdah and teaching the angels! My rank must be over his rank! You have only just created him, he hasn’t even made one sajdah, and You order all Your angels to make
sajdah to him, including me!? I am not one of those who make sajdah to Adam! I will never make sajdah to him!” So he was kicked out. He brought this trouble on himself, he has brought his suffering on himself.
Nothing can touch Allāh. Nothing can make Allāh Almighty suffer. Nothing can make Him sad. Nothing affects Him. Shay†ān disobeyed so he was kicked out. Allāh is not sorry or sad for Shay†ān. He is not suffering because Shay†ān has been thrown out and cursed. No. Suffering belongs to Shay†ān. Suffering is for Shay†ān and began when he started to fight his Lord Almighty, Allāh. And suffering is for everyone who tries to fight their Lord. They must suffer. When you go against Allāh Almighty’s Will you suffer, because you are given your punishment through yourself. That is the reason that people suffer.
Yes, everyone prepares for themselves a good life, a happy life, or a life filled with trouble and suffering. Everyone who is in peace with Allāh cannot be touched by anything. No trouble, no suffering, can touch him. Allāh Almgithy says that those who are with Allāh – noth- ing touches them, nothing harms them, nothing hurts them, nothing gives sorrow or trouble to those people! They are in na‘îm – Paradise, blessings and favours reach them through this life. But disobedient people, particularly those who are fighting against Allāh Almighty’s Will, suffer so that before going to Jakîm, Hell, their lives here are also Hell. Everyone must look after themselves. You may choose to be in happiness, in peace, in Paradise here, or to be in Hell. People have been given everything – but they are living their life here in Hell. The majority of people have every favour from Allāh Almighty, yet they are living in Hell. May Allāh forgive us. Âmîn.
Al-ªamdu li-llâh, al-ªamdu li-llâh, Ash-shukru li-llâh, ash-shukru li-llâh, Al-ªamdu li-llâh, al-ªamdu li-llâh, Ash-shukru li-llâh, ash-shukru li-llâh,
Astaghfiru llâh, astaghfiru llâh, astaghfiru llâh!
TURN YOUR HEARTS TO ALLÂH
KHUtBAH
The Last Day is approaching, very quickly approaching. So quickly that you cannot imagine it. One hundred and twenty-four thousand prophets passed away. The Seal of Prophets came almost fifteen hundred years ago, and his era is coming to an end. And thousands of years – I am not saying that man has lived on this Earth for millions of years, we have only lived on it for 7,500 years – and thousands of years have passed. Billions of people are underground, in known or unknown graves, and they are waiting for the Day of Resurrection, waiting to stand up. They are waiting. You are lucky that you are not going to be underground for long, but billions have been waiting for the Trumpet for thousands of years; waiting to stand and be asked, “What did you understand in your life? Did you learn anything?What did you understand? Come and give your report.” And if you do not know, He will show you.
O people! Do not be worried about your physical life. No, your eternal life is through your spiritual being. This physical body may live fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, one hundred or more years. But it cannot reach two hundred years, it is not eternal. Therefore, O believers! As much as you are thinking of your eternal life you must take much more care of your spiritual being!
And time is over. And we hope there is a change coming on Earth to take away these violent ones. Such accursed ones. Any moment curses could come from the Heavens, but Allāh Almighty is sending punishment on twentieth century people through each other, not through the angels. O people, when you turn towards the Ka‘bah you must turn your hearts towards Allāh Almighty’s Divine Pres- ence and you must ask forgiveness. You must ask for mercy from His Endless Mercy Oceans. You must ask for His Mercy to change this bad situation to a good situation. The bad way is to follow Shay†ān.
The good way is to turn from Shay†ān and devils, and to run to fol- low the ways of prophets, and saints, and good ones.
NATURAL HEALTH
ST ANNE’S, LONDON
That is a good flower – the Narcissus. It is an oriental flower ... there are also flowers that have no smell, they have a fine appearance but no smell. Flowers with a good smell come from our countries, and, according to traditional knowledge, smelling flowers supports our health. Everyone of man, man means men and women, has some ‘nerves’ in their heads which are the main reason for madness. There is a ‘vein’ that is a reason for becoming mad, and if a person, even only once a year, smelled this Narcissus, that madness would stop. This is an important point for European people, because they have two of these veins!
For everything that you do, first give your most high greetings to Mukammad. Everything will have a good outcome if you give your respect to your Lord, and to Sayyidinā Mukammad ... [Shaykh then paused to sip a glass of water and made this du‘ā’ before drinking:] Bismi llâhi r-raªmâni r-raªîm, Allâhumma salli ‘alâ Muªammad, yâ Shâfî, yâ Shâfî ...
My teeth are falling out and we are sitting here to talk about Islamic Health! ... Madness – there are at least seventy kinds of madness, I have listed more than seventy among Europeans and it is clear why: because most of them drink. Alcohol causes that madness, foolish- ness, idiocy, in Europeans.
We say, As-salâmu ‘alaikum! A‘ûdhu bi-llâhi mina sh-shay†âni r-rajîm, and bismi llâhi r-raªmâni r-raªîm, then He helps us. And when He is helping you, everything helps you. And when you are pleasing your Lord, Allāh Almighty orders everything around you to help you, and support you, and to give you enjoyment. Therefore, if someone is asking for health, to live healthily, then they must try to make
Allāh Almighty pleased with them. Without asking Allāh Almighty to be pleased with you, you cannot be happy, you cannot be in peace, successful, healthy, victorious. Anything you are hoping to reach can only succeed if you are intending to please Allāh Almighty. Then all closed doors open to you. If not, all open doors close to you.
Do you understand my English? I went to “The Shakespeare School”, in Cyprus, therefore I speak “Shakespeare English!” Is there anyone else here who speaks, “Shakespeare English”? I do not think so! ... If you have more knowledge you may give it, but to anyone asking more power I am the one who can give that. I am authorised through the Divine Command, therefore, it is better to be here buy- ing rather than selling.
Everything originates from one point, as a tent without a pole cannot stand. Man must know that this body is an amānah, a sacred trust for your safekeeping. Everyone’s physical body is a grant from the Creator, and He says, “Please treat My grant with respect. Don’t use it badly. Don’t use it mindlessly. Don’t use it stupidly. Don’t use it madly. Don’t use it ignorantly. No. Treasure My grant to you. It is My grant to you, and you must take the best care of what I grant to you.”
That is the first command from Allāh Almighty to everyone, to everyone. And the guiding rule of keeping it carefully, of taking care, is that you must not use your body for forbidden actions. You must not use it for forbidden actions. You were never permitted to use your body for forbidden things. That is disrespect for your Lord. He is asking you to keep this grant in the best way, and when you use it in a forbidden way, for forbidden actions, you should be punished. Without doubt you will be punished, here and hereafter. Do not think that physicians and their medicines can help you, no, they will only increase your suffering and misery.
If you are mistreating Allāh’s grant, do not delude yourself that healing gives you a rest. Do not think that acupuncture can benefit you. Do not think that some Harley Street specialist can prescribe something to help you. Do not imagine that atomic medicine could benefit you – even if a pill had ‘atomic power’... Painkillers give you
some amusement for a few hours, but they are not treatment, they cannot give health. Most medicines are just painkillers. If you are not obeying the Holy Command of Allāh Almighty, do not think that there may be help for you. However, if you are in peace and agree- ment with your Lord Allāh Almighty, then even drinking water can cure you. Therefore, it is important for the life of man to take care of their Creator’s Command before curses come on them from the Heavens. If Heaven is cursing you, there is no cure.
I think that is enough for you, it is enough. I thank you for enquir- ing about health issues, because most people now complain that they are not healthy. They use so many medicines to try and maintain their normal bodily functions and this is very bad for them. To fol- low what doctors are advising and prescribing is very bad practise for Mankind, because doctors just lead people to live their lives dominated by tablets. Hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly; they cause people to live abnormal lives. Very few people are not using tablets. It begins in childhood. And for the rest of their lives they use tablets to give more comfort and pleasure. But it destroys the body and the psyche from the inside. Then they need to use other drugs to repair their psyche too, and they continue using drugs up to their death.
Try to use what Allāh Almighty has given us through nature. Natural medicines from the plant world, herbs: these give you com- plete health, but the effect is not going to be immediate. It will be slow, slowly reached. Those artificial medicines are poisoning and killing our inner feelings, and when finishing them you feel noth- ing, you think you have reached health and rest – but never! If you use herbal medicines they help you, slowly, slowly – use them and harm never comes to your body, they never harm your body or give a burden to your physical body.
Question: What about life threatening diseases, what drugs should we use?
The Prophet’s traditional advice is that before you reach breaking point you should look to prevention. When they are broken they then
run to the doctor. But doctors do not use herbal medicine because patients are impatient people. Also, there is population control on Earth: governments are asking doctors to reduce the population on Earth, therefore they give these medicines, which are really poisons, then they die and doctors say, “Oh! There was nothing else we could do.”
Question: Should we give vaccinations to babies?
Trusting Allāh to prevent illness is good, we give charity for this. But Allāh Almighty also shows ways for protection, and small ones are quickly affected by some illnesses because of the sins of the grown-ups, therefore vaccination is a kind of protection from Allāh Almighty.*
Question: Smoking cigarettes?
Smoking cigarettes kills the body slowly, it slowly poisons you. They print huge posters and write at the bottom: Caution Smoking Kills! ... And there is another point that I must state: Scans are ter- rible and dangerous for babies. Do not have scans, or use ultrasound (the electronic listening machines that are used to monitor the baby’s heartbeat) when you are pregnant! Not even when giving birth, not at all! Every day mummies are coming to me and complaining about their babies. Every harm, genetic and otherwise, comes to you and them from these scans.
* (Shaykh usually recommends not to vaccinate, and then give charity in the name of God with the intention of seeking His Protection. Current vaccines have serious side effects.)
THE MOST VALUABLE JEWEL
ST ANNE’S, LONDON
You are Sul†ān, no-one else can be. Everyone must be servants.
Allâhu Akbar! Allâhu Akbar! Hû! Allâhu Akbar! Allâhu Akbar!
Allâhumma salli ‘alâ Muªammad, wa ‘alâ âlihi wa saªbihi wa sallim ...
We are here for the Almighty, for the sake of Allāh and for the love of Sayyidinā Mukammad. Out of love and respect for Him, we have come here. We are all servants, men and women, even if you are covered in jewels you are still servants. Dressed in crowns – you are still servants. If you put a golden saddle on a donkey has it changed? It may claim: I am something else, something different, but what is different? It still has four legs and a tail, even if it says: My saddle is gold! Maybe your saddle is gold, but you are still a donkey. Other donkeys will never accept him as anything else. It may say: I am a VIP donkey! But we do not recognise such VIP donkeys. Because of your saddle are you going to be a VIP? And people today think that because of their dress they are someone else!
We are asking Allāh Almighty to fix our feet on His Path towards Him, that is our aim. That is what we ask of Allāh Almighty. May imān be with us permanently, may we live on that path, and may we enter the Divine Presence with – Lâ ilâha illâ llâh Muªammadun Rasûl Allâh, salla llâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Whoever may keep this trust from Allāh Almighty is lucky. He is a lucky one, he returns to Allāh Almighty with his trust intact. That trust is the most valuable jewel. It is the most valuable jewel, most precious. Therefore, when Shay†ān lost it and was thrown out of the Divine Presence he became so angry, and so jealous, and so proud, and so stubborn; he carried so
much enmity for Mankind, that he is always running after Mankind to steal it from them and make them like himself. Shay†ān is able to carry people from Paradise to Hells.
At the beginning, in Paradise, he came and cheated Adam and Eve, ‘alayhim salâm, taking them out of Paradise. Adam, Sayyidi- nā Adam, upon him be peace, advised us all, “O my children! Try not to be cheated by devils, by Shay†ān! I have been cheated, I was in Paradise, and I fell into troubles, sufferings, and miseries due to Shay†ān. He cheated me, don’t let yourselves to be cheated!” That is in the Torah, the Old Testament, the New Testament; it is in all Holy Books. Every prophet, every messenger, says, “O people! Your grandfather was cheated by Shay†ān, try not to be cheated too!” He cheated Adam with one fruit, with one forbidden command. The Lord of Heavens ordered, “I am making everything in Paradise kalāl for you, you may eat, you may enjoy everything, only that one fruit is forbidden, don’t approach it!”
It was through only one thing that Shay†ān cheated them. They ate from that one fruit. Then they found themselves on Earth, it was nighttime, they came in darkness. Through darkness they came, and Adam landed in Serendip, Ceylon, now it has a modern name Sri Lanka, yes, the people there are becoming modern. He came to Adam’s Peak, on the highest point of that mountain he made his first footstep. His footprint is still there. And our grandmother landed in Jiddah, Saudia Arabia, in Óijāz. It was such a sorrowful and horrorfy- ing event: to leave the Lights of Paradise, to be thrown away from Paradise and to fall through darkness onto the Earth. Only one tree was forbidden, and Shay†ān cheated them on that one command, one forbidden thing made them fall into trouble.
Now Shay†ān is making you approach and eat every forbidden thing that you see. This takes you away from mercy, this carries you away from Mercy Oceans, and brings you to cursed areas. Even in small things: do not say makrûh* is a small sin, no! No! Whose com- mand are you refusing? You are refusing Allāh Almighty’s Command!
* Between kalāl, permitted, and karām, forbidden, lies makruh, disliked.
Employees working in businesses, employees are careful not to make a mistake, careful not to make a small mistake because it may mean a large loss of money. Why are you not thinking? Where is your adab for Allāh? Allāh Almighty’s adab – you are drinking alcohol! To drinks Allāh Almighty says, “O My servants! It is shay†ānic behaviour!”
Are you not going to stop drinking? Are you not going to stop do- ing satanic work? How far are you going to go with satanic acts? How far are you going to take that satanic behaviour?! Satan says, “Like this, like this!” And people run after it! That is the main source of all crises, troubles and sufferings on Earth. “To what point are you intending to follow Satan? Are you intending to follow Satan up to death? You’re not thinking of following Me? You’re not intending to follow My prophets, My saints?” Say, “We are intending – help us not to follow satanic actings, we are intending to follow – only accept that sometimes we are weak!”
There must be something wrong when you trip over stones. If you are going to Allāh stones cannot touch you, the way is smooth, it is not a rough way. Everytime something touches you and hurts you, you must think that you have done something wrong. You have performed some satanic act that permits that stone to hurt you. We have been created to be examples of goodness. Everyone must try to be examples of the best and then they will be shown in the Heavens as signs, as examples, of the best on Earth; heavenly beings look to these because they are surrounded by Lights that may be seen so high in the Heavens. Try to be the best ones on Earth, for these Lights to come to you from the Heavens. Try to be surrounded by Lights, and to be sources of Mercy, because Mercy comes on the best ones.
And if you are not so intent on being of the best, then at least try to be with one of the best, to reach enlightenment through association with him; to reach Mercy through him. The prophets and saints are surrounded in Heavenly Lights, therefore, Allāh Almighty ordered His servants to run to be their companions. It is a Divine Order for everyone to seek out one of His Friends and be with him. Being in the company of the best – that is a Divine Order for everyone.
But Satan is turning so many people into ‘squareheads’ by telling them not to seek the company of the good ... “Don’t accompany good ones! everyone must stand alone!” The best ones read Holy Qur’ān and Holy kadîth, and read about the sakābah, the companions of Rasûl, salla llâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, who were always with him and are in his company forever. But now when Shay†ān and his devils see someone coming to be in the company of good ones, they say, “Don’t follow that one it is shirk!” What is that mentality? Leave us free to be with the Purified Ones, through that we may beat the satanic kingdom. If they do not join the company of the good, they will always be following the bad.
You only need to follow one: the sakābah followed Rasûl, salla llâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. If you can find one now it does not have any- thing to do with shirk, you are not setting up a partner with Allāh Almighty – that idea is aimed at destroying Islām from the inside. You cannot destroy it from the outside because people would see through it, but they are trying to do it from the inside, and swearing publicly, slandering the awliyā’ who only ever follow Islām! Intend that your name be written amongst the Highest Assembly in the Divine Presence, aim for your name to be inscribed; for your name to be mentioned there, and that it be said of you, “That one is one of the best!“ And the way is open, you are free to reach that station! May Allāh bless you and forgive me ...
For everything here has a beginning and an end. In this life every- one is coming or going. Someone comes, someone goes, that rhythm on the Earth never ends. Everything is moving – someone comes. Everything is moving – someone goes. Someone arrives, someone departs. This year we have been with you for forty-five days. I came by the heavenly command of our Lord, Allāh Almighty, and I intend to leave tomorrow for another meeting with some of Allāh Almighty’s other servants. I am entrusting you to Allāh Almighty’s Mercy, and Allāh Almighty’s Mercy covers everything. This advice that they are giving to me for you is good advice, it is always go- ing to be true, it will never diminish – so follow it! Cultivate your good characteristics: follow goodness and mercy, love
