The Face is the Mirror of ihe Heart. A cerlain Waltullah said that ifhe looks at the back portion of the head ofa person he can judge that person’s cleverness and if he looks at that person's face he can read it like a book, and there is also a saying that everything is written. on our forehead, although itissuch a small place. Teday I hear that a Microchip of about the size of a thumbnail can store information units in thousands and thousands. Allah Abmighty’s power makes our whole life story appear on our foreheads, and someone who has heavenly lights may look and see it.

Bismillah tr Rahman ir Raheem.
This is a holy meeting (association and Unis means that Allah Almighty and His Beloved Prophet Scyedina Muhammed (Sali are happy wilh this gathering One kind of meeting makes Allah and His Prophet {Sal} pleased and happy. There is another kind of meeting which makes Aliah and his. messenger angry and displeased. This Meeting is one (hat makes Allah Almighty and His Rascol pleased because we are mecting here, today lo respect and gather for the sake of the love of Aah Almighty and His Rasoul, When you entered this masjid (mosque) vou touk ablution (wilal and cleaned yourselves as this is the fouse of Aah and because vou know tnat when a person comes to the mosque he comes to visil some ore in the level of he heavens, Whoever gives respect will receive respect and you are coming here for the sake of the love of Allah Ainnghty and His beloved Prophet (Sal} and you are asking for the increase of your love towards them, Therefore everyone who comes into a miasyic must ask from His Lord Almighty Allah to increase his Love for Allah Almighty and his Beloved Praphet (Sal), because the masjid is the place in which you can find the love of Allah Almighty. Yes. it is not possible to find the love of Allah Almighty in the market place. The love market of Allah Almighty’s love is the masjid. Therefore whoever comes to the Tllosque must ask for the love of Allah Almighty to be given to him. Almighty Allah is happy when his servants who comic into a masjid ask for more love. “Man - ahabba - Shaiyan - aksara - zikrahua™. Prophet Rasoolullah (Sa) says that when a person loves someone and repeats his tame remembering hirn and respecting him and particularly when this repetition is done in increasing quantities, then this is the Sigil aril connection of the love of that person to the other tthe one whose name is repeated) sa that this love Tay mMerease. Therefore when a servant is asking for more love from Allah Almighty he should make more zikr (repetitive rememberance) of the Holy Names of Allah Almighty and the more zikr that he makes, Allah Almighty grants him more love through that ZIAT.
All Prophets came to this world to teach people how they should make zikr for the Lord Almighty

ree ‘The Spiritual Rocket Power of ‘The Most Distinguished Nagshabandi Tarigat
{Sheik Nazim visited a mosque in Gintota, Galle, Sri Lanka where the saint referred tc is buried. This speech was given by Sheik Nazim within ihe mosque premises close to the Zljaram, burial - Chamber of this Saint)
Auzu Billahi Mina Shaitan { Rajeem. Rismillahi man ir Raheem - La Hawla wala quwatha Wa billah il aliytl alee - Bismilla Seyedi ya waliallah - i am asking permission from this saint who is buried here to let me speak on tariqat. I am receiving what I am now saying from the Sahib of this Maqam, i am the guest of this saint and he ts my host and we are today in his Holy Presence. What he is saying to me T am now passing on to you. Although It is not for me to speak by myself in the presence of such a host, he is requesting me that as he is my host and I am his guest that I must speak. Therefore he is giving a spiritual connection to us. Now I am going to explain to all of you and this explanation is going to be not my words but his words. He is wanting me to speak about what is sharia and what is tariqat.
Firstiy we must know that all Prophets calling us to Allah Almighty's Divine presence, they are teaching us and thus they ae alwa our teachers, Allah Almighty ordered his beloved Prophet, Muhamed (Sal), saying Prophet stance ap atid call people towards mie “Alinh Alnmughty is inviting His servants to His Divine presence. We are now asking “How are we to come to you, My Lord?” When you are about lo pe on a pilgrimage lo Mecea the first thing that you find out is a8 Lo where Mecca is. and ther, how io get there. Then you think about the things that you should take with vou wher you are going on such a jong journey. You then prepare yoursel wilh your passport and your iood iterns.and luggage. Then you take a car to Colombo and from Lhere you board om to a plane, then fy to Hija (Saudi Arabia]. In the same manner, when you are of your journey to Ahnighty ABah you need the shariat., which is your food and luggage thal you may be in need of to take along with you to the Divine Presence. Tarigat is the journeys passage [the way). All tariqats are ways that take people io the Divine Presence.
‘There are forty-one Tariqats which are like a wide road {Aulobahn) or highway as is te be found in Europe and many modes of travel take place on this type of highway. For example, pedestrians, lorries, mini buses, ears and speed cars. all travel on this high way. All of them are heading in this same direction. Therefore tariqats are all reaching towards this sarne destination. If one does not get up he cannot walk. Even if one walks that is a way, a tariqat.
As 1 said before there are now forty one tariqats. Out of these forty-one tariqals, forty of therm are using
-~§-
the spiritual power of “La flaha Wlallah” to move towards Allah, The Naqshabarndi Tariqal uses the zikr, “Allah.” “Allah,” “Allah,” as their main zikr to reach to this destination. if the other tarigats are using the speed of jet planes, the Naqshabandi Tarigat is Boing at the speed of a rocket. This is because when a servant says “La jlaha illallah” his nafs catches hold of hin and he is not able to move forward with full power, as when he says “La ilaha illallah” (there is no Gad but Allah), his nafs prompts him to say (la ilaha ila ana). (there is no God but mel. Therefore their program slows down and like planes they can reach only to a limit. Rockets cut through gravity and get out. Thefore because Naqshabandi Tanqat uses as their main zikr “AHlah” there is no more nafs with thern and they destroy thelr ego and kill it. Planes might come down, but rockets never. perhaps they may move on from the atmosphere of this earth and move on eternally. This is the way of the Naqshaband! tariqat. Planes move from one continent to another but rockets move from the earth to the highest skies and beyond. Those who are aSking to reach only io the sky (Sama) may use one of the forty tariqats, and those who are asking to Teach thé highest limit [Stdurathul Muntaha Jmust use the way of lhe Naqshabandi tariqat.
fam giving you this information as only a drop from an ocean, When you come to me with fa thimble) and ask me to put the ocean in it, how can you do that when the listeners cannot take in more than their capacity. ILis always inipossible. Yes, il is not possibie to talk about these things for more than half an hour. But this is enough,

AM yk fy pen by . fe Why The Nagshabandi Way [s Most Distinguished
Bismillah tr Rahman ir Rakeern
f is nore important ta be able to conguer hearts
than te conquer the whole world. This isve ry important. The attribute of Rasooluilah (Sal) is to conquer the hearts of people. When their hearts are conquered they come to surrender. Rasoolullah (sal) worked for thirteen years to eslablish faith in Iman, When he established this he was able to conquer the hearts of people because Lie centre of iman{Makkanin Iman lis the heart. Then the sahaba surrendered to Allah Almighty and were able to reach the level of Rascolullah (Saf. This was the way to reach to the Hght of itman (Noorul Iman) and this method reached out to the far east and far west and to all places.
Therefore today we are in need of “conquerors of hearts" and not Doctors of law (Shariyat). Yes, we need peeple who are able to conquer the hearts of people and thereafter to be able te control these hearis. If after conquering hearts they are not controlled Shaitan can easily come back again to lake control, There is no other way of conquering hearts except by the
-~§-
methodology of zikr and by the way of tanmqats.
Today the spiritual power in all the other forty tariqats (all tarigats except Naqshabandi) have come to a stand: sil. Amongsl the forty-one tariqats,accepted by Ahli sunnat wa jamaah forty of ihem have now come ta ahalt. There is nomore spiritual power. Only a temporarily renewed power may corne sometimes to them. These other forty tarigats were once like forty fountains or forty taps which were running wilh Divine Blessings. Today all of them have stopped and there are no more blessings coming fromm them, which may conquer (he hearlis of people and control them. This can only be done today by the Naqshabandi tarigal because no other tarigat has Kamilul Irshad (perfect spiritual attraction). All the people of the other tariqauis who are keeping zikia have only been authorised previously (tabarukaah}). They have been authorised to recite or to make zikr but. as for Irshad (attraction) they have no power, When their sheik dies or passes away they are not able to comlinue with at least some ane equa. to thal previous shefk’s power, Therefore this powei keeps gradually failing. Tocay (here is a need for much more power and for more authorised people to make Irshad (altraction) and to be able to conquer hearts, to open the hearls of people and to contra! thei. Tf any of you know of such a person ini these other tanaats please be good enough to inform me of thern.
Through the East and through the West ali these lariqats are only officially functioning and you cannot find a real power in them. As for the people who follow those lariqats they only get a little bit of refreshinen| from szikr when they sit for these zikrs. When they
-9-
Sat
get up and Jeave there is no more power to corral thems This is lhe sign of approaching of Mahdi fatail. lt is also the same for the Ulema (doctors of law and learned mei.) Their spirituality is also failing. Today there are very lew real Ulema to address peopie and ta be able ta teach them what they may be in need of, The ulerna also is declining.
Today all power comes through the Naqshabandi order, because this power is growing and not decreasing, and ii is able to affect the hearts of ali people. Nagshabandi tariqat also has Jaziba, Jazbathat Tarigat. Jazba also means attraction - Divine attraction - that is to he able to carry the hearts of people and to control them. This only comes through the Naqshabandi tariqat and whoever who has his heart connected to it. We hope that Allah Almighty makes His servants to connect their hearts. We are more than ever in need at that power today. We hope that quarreling and fighting may not seperate people and that they become attracted to the way of Allah Almighty. Then they must have peace In their hearts by the way of zikr. Every tariqat today uses only the zikr that is done through: their tongues. It is only the Naqshabandi Lariqat which uses ikr through the hearts and only this heart zikr may control hearts. I zikr does not come through the heart ofa person Shaitan always reaches to that heart. When there is zikr in one's heart Shaitan mmst excape and go away from the heart. Therefore today the zikr of these other forty tariqats do not enter hearts. There is no authority for therm to look into hearts and to control them, This is done today only by the way of ihe most distinguished Naqshabandi tarigal. AH Imams
—~10-
are using their power now only through the Naqshabandi tarigat including Seyyadi Abdul Qadir Jilani (Qad). He is also dressed by this power so that he may coniro!l his murids (followers) from his time till today. There is only one [mam or main pillar in the Qacliriya Tariqat and that Imam is Muhiyadecn Abdul Qadir Jilani (Qadasallahu Sirrahul Azeez Al Alim!. He is alsc now using Naqshabandi power for controlling hearts. His contact is the Sullan ul Awliya who is in power toda‘ for lhe whole world. His heart is in contact with th s Sultan ul Awliya. The Imams of the other forty tariqats are also reaching lo this power in the same way that Abdul Qadir Jilani (Qad) reaches this Naqshabandi power and then they are controlling their murids through this way.
If zikr does not reach to the hearts the body does not surrender, and if the body does not surrender our hearts are nol yet prepared to carry real Iman (faith). Zikr makes Shaitanto go out fromthe hearts. No heavenly trusls nor heavenly blessings can come to the hearts of murids as long as Shailan is able to apprech their hearts, and they will have no opening (kashf). These murids will not be able to look to malakut to heavens, and everything that is veiled from them. They will not be able lo look al all this except through the power and lights of zikr (Noor-ul-zikr) which should reach to their hearts. If this light of zikr reaches to their hearts they will be able to look in front of them and behind. them, they will also be able to look inio the past and also into the future. when they are reaching to that hidden knowledge (kashi} in whichever direction that they may send that light (Noor) that direction be- comes clear to them and they shall be able to see.
-ll—
Therefore Nagshabandi tariqal is the way for all Non- MusHrns as Iman (fmith) for them is coming through that way now. The other Lariqats are not able to Carry Non- Muslims except Jor a short time. after this short time they will leave. 1 am looking into so mary tariqats. In Europe they are only carrying Non-Muslims for a short period of time. Then these Non-Muslims are leaving these tariqats and in the process leaving Islam. also. When they come and meet with the Naqshabanidi order, the Nagqshabandi order is able to carry everyone from Fast to West.
Mahdi [alai) shall come and we hope that he will come soon. The everits that are happening today are carrying on to that big event of Dunya Zuhural the last days. Mahdi (alai } should come after the war. The war is tomnake preparation for his mission. Therefore, there taust be a war. and then Mahdi (alai) will come. There is mo power on earth that will be able to stop this great war except the miraculous power of Mahdi falai}. IL will cease only with the mirculous power of Islain. Almighty Allah will show this huge power which is Islam to the non- muslims and to the urbelievers. Only one power the power of Takbir from an ocean of power will be used. Only the words “Allahu Akbar, Allaha Akbar, Allahu Akbar” will be used to stop all the fechnology that the mom- muslims and Kafirs are trusting on to bring cown Islam. Allah Almighty has given Lhat authority to Mahdi falaj to bring down non- believers. The power of technology shall be taken from them and their weapons will stop working. If is only for one saint who is authorised that there is the power fa switch on and off technology. He should switch it olf, He is authorised for that, During the coming of
—~12-
Mahdi alai) there shall aiso be with him the last Sheik oi the Naqshahandi Order. The Nagshabandi Order has 7007 Imams and ali of them are in the same rank. In the Qadiri tariqai ihere is only one Imam , who is Suitan ul Awliya Seyyadi Muhiyadeen. in Naqshabandi 7OO7 have this power. Yes and the last one shail be with Mahdi (alai).
Mahdi (alai) shall look at the outward aspect, to arrange everything and every action according to shariat without leaving anything and anyone who are against it. He is nol going to look to hearts. The hearts are left for the last Imam of the Naqshabandi order. He would be able to look at the hearts of all the people and to bring them under Divine Control and Shaitan is prohibited to approach their hearts.
Therefore now little by little spiritual power is reach- ing to the East and West. This spiritual power is working on hearts, Our mission is within limits, physically, but spiritually it is most powerful, as unlike a physical body A Spiritual body is not only one, but in ritumber, they are as many as mankind may need. IL is preparation time now, for hearts to accept zikrullah (rernemberance of Allah) and to accept also Noor (Light) and to work on lights of Iman {faith} so that they will be prepared ta be in the Divirie Presence and in the Holy Presence of Rasoolullah (Sal), We are now only making some short practices and showing some signs on it so that it will be easy to build the real power of the Naqshabandi order. May Allah bless you and light up your hearts and our hearts with His holy zikr.

The Finer Points of Character. ‘The Pilot at the controls
Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem.
We is Lhe creator of the Universe? Allah is the creator (Allahu Khaliqu Qulli Shayyin), Allah Almighty created everything and He is the creator of everything and He knows about everylhing. Among the creatures .only mankind has been honoured to be Muhaata - to ANah Almighty. Muhaata means that they have been honoured by Divine addressings- from Aliah Almighty. "Ya Ayvyuhal Insanu,” that honour is only for mankind. This is endless honour. Allah Almighty gave us endless honour with this divine addressing. No one can give a value to that addressing- “Ya Ayubal Insatiu”. No creatures olher than mankind are going to be addressed by the Divine Presence. Yes, that is endless honour for mankind, reaching from Pre eternity upto Etemity.
Allah Almighty gives such honour only to mankind. However mankind is not honouring cach other but instead they are asking dishonour for each other and trying to bring each other down, Allah Almighty likes lis servants to give respect and honour for each other. Therefore as much as you can, iry to respect and
—14-
honour people. Allah Abnighty will never say enough or slop giving honour. This is because He gave mankind endiess honour,
What is our capacity to give honour? On earth you have been given one name. In the first heaven (Awwal Sama) you have been called by another natne and in the second heaven with yet another name. all for the sake of Tashreeq - all for the purpose of honouring. On the Day of Promises, He addressed our souls with seven nares {Youm allas Rabbikium). Everyone has sever) names. Your name is only for you. Only one namie is common far the whole of mankind: that name is Abdullah. Everyone is named as Abdullah, and woren they are named Amatullah. These names never change. The other six names are different to each other. Therefore I am saying that through the seven heavens we have been given one name, Tashreefa- Just to be honoured.
Allah Almighty orders us to do worship and to do Ibadath (good actions). For what reason does Allah Aimighty order us to do this? It is for us to reach to our heavenly stations. By means of the physical body alone it is impossible to reach to the heavens. You need spiritual power for that, For example if man does nol have an aeroplane, he cannot fly. By himeslf alone he carmot do it, The plane too needs power to fy, and without this power planes cannat fly. in ihe same way your souls need spiritual power to reach heavenly stations and every kind of obedience, worship, ubudiya (servanthood) gives man power. By means of this power our souls can also fly. However, we are wasting it, and therefore we cannot make use
-15- of it, because of our comuniliing sins. For example, it is like a pot with holes being filled wilh water. The water goes out through the holes, Big sins make big holes and small sins make smali holes, taking away that water from the pot. In the same way you, by your sins, are wasling away that power that you are taking from your worshipping. So you must take care lo cover these holes, When you know that you are going to commit a sin you must say “Asiaghfirulla, Astaghfirullah tubthu darajathu ilalah”, “Oh my Lord [am asking you forgiveness”. Then this gets locked and is prevented, When this happens, there may be still another sin and yet another coming up. So many of them, If you do not take care all the power that you gel from worshipping will be cscaping you and you may not be able te keep that power with you, Therefore to be able to keep that power with you is more important than worshipping. That is why you find that most Awliya (saints) and holy men escape to the mountains, the deserts, and the jungles, so that they may commit less sing and thereby keep their spiritual power. In doing so they undergo difficult conditions, for it is mot easy to be living alone on mouhiains, jungles and deseris. But this is only for a while and then after taking and saving spiritual power they may fly over jungles, over deserts and oceans, they may walk on air and walk on cceans and with one step traverse deserts. Their steps may teach from East to West and from Earth to Heavens. Allah Almighiy atcders us to worship so that we can gain spritual power. Allah Almighty is mot in need of our worship. if our worshipping is net even enough for us to increase our spiritual power, what can our worship give to Him? All the angels and the whole
—-16§-
of creation is in worship and in glorilication of Him, everlasuingly and etermally, What. then are we giving (oO an endless Ovcaun with a drop? The glorifying of adil the creatures and angels and nature and man is only a spot in this endless and bottomless ocean in comparison to the endless and everlasting oceans of glory of Almighty Adah,
Mankind is so proud of worship. Maybe we are doing for half an hour Ruku, or for half an hour Sajda. For what purpose? Is it to make our wershtp better and to give more glory to Almighty Allah! Asthafirullah. ‘Yes we are looking at ourselves and feeling very proud that we are doing long Ruku and Sajda, thinking that we are making if better and better, Therefore I do nol like to do long Ruku and Sajda. The Prophet (Sal) therefore only said Subhanallahi Wabihatmndihi, Subhallahi! aleerm- three times. That was his duration of the sajda. But I have been praying in so many places and it takes so long. that Imam is perhaps saying it ten times, twelve times. fifteen times amd yet he is in Sajda. The Prophet (Sal) was saying it three times only. Particularly when you are praying with Jamaah, you musi be lighter. Rasoohillah (Sal) has knowledge of every fine point of the char- acteristic of our Egos, Our Egos tell us when we make a prayer of Two rakats that it should last for half and hour or more so as to to make ourselves proud and call ourselves the best ones. Shaitan makes us accept that we have dome the best prayer and to make us declare that ii was the best worship from us, IF a person says that I did the best worshipping, } did my best prayer he must say “Asthagfirullah”
7
Every time that you think or declare this way you must say” Asthagfirullah”. For it is never the best to be given to the Divine Presence.
Yes, sometimes we are entering into sins through our worship because we are proud of our worship. This retards our progress towards the heavens. There- tore we necd a controller over us. Now supersonic aeroplanes are fully automatic. Or are they? Is there a pilot coritroiling it? If he is not controlling it, why Is he sitting there? Even though the plane is fully wulomatic yet it is in need of a pilot fer controlling it. In the same way although you may be fully autornatic in your prayers, yet you are in need of a pilot to guide you and contro! you, Therefore we are in need of a Shetk (spirttual guide). The sheik knows the finer points of our Egos which are in need of correction,
Today new fashioned Muslims are giving fully au- tomatic power to everyone. They are denying and cursing to let a Sheik control them because of their Egos. fi is their Egos that are cursed. They say that holy books alone are enough. Fully automatic. But ft is nol enough without a controller. Those foolish people quote Quran, Sunnah, Quran Sunnah and Kitab Sunnah. What about the pilot? No pilat. Do you think that You are doing and knowing your best through Kitab and Sunnah only, without having some one to look ter and control you, Alimighty Allah says to His Prophet (Sal) "Wa sahabi amfil amar” - that is to control the Sahaba. Everyone knows to read the Holy Quran and Holy Hadis. Sa many priests and so many professors they too are reading [oly quran and Holy Hadis, but what is the benefit they derive from it? Therefore we
~iLS8—
are asking [rom Allah Aimighty for good understanding and to give us some one to control our actions and our worship, Yes like students who do their homework and the teacher who goes through it. These people are not even intelligent as these studenis who at least have their homework corrected. Yes these people are so proud of the way they are following and ii is the way of Shaitan. Shaitan was fully automatic, and Allah Almighty asked him to take Adam (alai}) as his pilot. He rejected this. He says “I won't accept Adam {alai) as controller over me. I won't carry any one tc be above me” that is the pride that destroyed Shaitan or Iblis. Likewise these people say thal they are able to read and understand what is in the Holy Quran and they say that oniy they may look and that they may understand and that they are net in need of a coutroller. May Allah forgive and bless us.

Sincerity in Zikr Bismillah oo Rahman ir Raheem.
Ne one can find his way without a guide and guid-
ance, A person without a guide is lke someone
lost in a desert net knowing which direction to take to the nearest oasis. Similarly we too are like thal person in need of guidance anda guide. Yesterday [met an Englishman who said to me that he has been in Sri Lanka for the last thirty years in search of the Truth. What has he done during this period ot thirty years and to what point has he reached? } was trying to find this out and he could not tell me anything and 1 saw that he is a person lost as if in a hnge desert not knowing which direction to take. Although he was an unbeliever he must have been sincere and patient. He must have been patient because he left his homeland and was wearing a saffron robe searching for the Truth for the last thirty years. He had leit everything that he had in life and he was searching and seeking. Whal was his purpose unless he was sincere in his search. As he was sincere Allah Almighty showed him a way Lo come to our association,
~20-
Allah Almighty looks through the hearts of all his servants lor sincerity. Whether one is a believer or nat is not the criterion. Allah Almighty looks at the intentions of His servanis whether they are sincere or not, This, He does because of his endless mercy. Qur intentions are more important than our actions. The important point here is that Allah Almighty is looking and searching for sincerity in these hearts, If. He is finding sincerity in the heart of His servant He takes more care of that servant. That sincerity will lead that person to find his way to God, Almighty Allah.
One of my disciples is asking me for a method for spiritual deveopment. The methed that I am pre- scribing for anyone whe claims to belong to one way or another, one religion or another or one school of thought or another is for that person to have sincerity. This is the foundation and first step. When you build your foundation on sincerity then it is goad. You may say or do anything with sincerity then it should be more acceptable. When some one does sornething with sincerity he is never refused by the Divine Presence. Therefore sincerity guides people to the best. Travel on the way of sincerity and step by step you shall reach to your best. Do not be worried. There should be no fear of badness for that person who is going to be sincere. Nothing shail harm him, either here or hereafter. As long as he is sincere with his Lord he shali be in ne danger and that sincerity wo

The Face is the Mirror of ihe Heart. A cerlain Waltullah said that ifhe looks at the back portion of the head ofa person he can judge that person’s cleverness and if he looks at that person's face he can read it like a book, and there is also a saying that everything is written. on our forehead, although itissuch a small place. Teday I hear that a Microchip of about the size of a thumbnail can store information units in thousands and thousands. Allah Abmighty’s power makes our whole life story appear on our foreheads, and someone who has heavenly lights may look and see it.

Bismillah tr Rahman ir Raheem.
This is a holy meeting (association and Unis means that Allah Almighty and His Beloved Prophet Scyedina Muhammed (Sali are happy wilh this gathering One kind of meeting makes Allah and His Prophet {Sal} pleased and happy. There is another kind of meeting which makes Aliah and his. messenger angry and displeased. This Meeting is one (hat makes Allah Almighty and His Rascol pleased because we are mecting here, today lo respect and gather for the sake of the love of Aah Almighty and His Rasoul, When you entered this masjid (mosque) vou touk ablution (wilal and cleaned yourselves as this is the fouse of Aah and because vou know tnat when a person comes to the mosque he comes to visil some ore in the level of he heavens, Whoever gives respect will receive respect and you are coming here for the sake of the love of Allah Ainnghty and His beloved Prophet (Sal} and you are asking for the increase of your love towards them, Therefore everyone who comes into a miasyic must ask from His Lord Almighty Allah to increase his Love for Allah Almighty and his Beloved Praphet (Sal), because the masjid is the place in which you can find the love of Allah Almighty. Yes. it is not possible to find the love of Allah Almighty in the market place. The love market of Allah Almighty’s love is the masjid. Therefore whoever comes to the Tllosque must ask for the love of Allah Almighty to be given to him. Almighty Allah is happy when his servants who comic into a masjid ask for more love. “Man - ahabba - Shaiyan - aksara - zikrahua™. Prophet Rasoolullah (Sa) says that when a person loves someone and repeats his tame remembering hirn and respecting him and particularly when this repetition is done in increasing quantities, then this is the Sigil aril connection of the love of that person to the other tthe one whose name is repeated) sa that this love Tay mMerease. Therefore when a servant is asking for more love from Allah Almighty he should make more zikr (repetitive rememberance) of the Holy Names of Allah Almighty and the more zikr that he makes, Allah Almighty grants him more love through that ZIAT.
All Prophets came to this world to teach people how they should make zikr for the Lord Almighty

{Sheik Nazim visited a mosque in Gintota, Galle, Sri Lanka where the saint referred tc is buried. This speech was given by Sheik Nazim within ihe mosque premises close to the Zljaram, burial - Chamber of this Saint)
Auzu Billahi Mina Shaitan { Rajeem. Rismillahi man ir Raheem - La Hawla wala quwatha Wa billah il aliytl alee - Bismilla Seyedi ya waliallah - i am asking permission from this saint who is buried here to let me speak on tariqat. I am receiving what I am now saying from the Sahib of this Maqam, i am the guest of this saint and he ts my host and we are today in his Holy Presence. What he is saying to me T am now passing on to you. Although It is not for me to speak by myself in the presence of such a host, he is requesting me that as he is my host and I am his guest that I must speak. Therefore he is giving a spiritual connection to us. Now I am going to explain to all of you and this explanation is going to be not my words but his words. He is wanting me to speak about what is sharia and what is tariqat.
Firstiy we must know that all Prophets calling us to Allah Almighty's Divine presence, they are teaching us and thus they ae alwa our teachers, Allah Almighty ordered his beloved Prophet, Muhamed (Sal), saying Prophet stance ap atid call people towards mie “Alinh Alnmughty is inviting His servants to His Divine presence. We are now asking “How are we to come to you, My Lord?” When you are about lo pe on a pilgrimage lo Mecea the first thing that you find out is a8 Lo where Mecca is. and ther, how io get there. Then you think about the things that you should take with vou wher you are going on such a jong journey. You then prepare yoursel wilh your passport and your iood iterns.and luggage. Then you take a car to Colombo and from Lhere you board om to a plane, then fy to Hija (Saudi Arabia]. In the same manner, when you are of your journey to Ahnighty ABah you need the shariat., which is your food and luggage thal you may be in need of to take along with you to the Divine Presence. Tarigat is the journeys passage [the way). All tariqats are ways that take people io the Divine Presence.
‘There are forty-one Tariqats which are like a wide road {Aulobahn) or highway as is te be found in Europe and many modes of travel take place on this type of highway. For example, pedestrians, lorries, mini buses, ears and speed cars. all travel on this high way. All of them are heading in this same direction. Therefore tariqats are all reaching towards this sarne destination. If one does not get up he cannot walk. Even if one walks that is a way, a tariqat.
As 1 said before there are now forty one tariqats. Out of these forty-one tariqals, forty of therm are using
-~§-
the spiritual power of “La flaha Wlallah” to move towards Allah, The Naqshabarndi Tariqal uses the zikr, “Allah.” “Allah,” “Allah,” as their main zikr to reach to this destination. if the other tarigats are using the speed of jet planes, the Naqshabandi Tarigat is Boing at the speed of a rocket. This is because when a servant says “La jlaha illallah” his nafs catches hold of hin and he is not able to move forward with full power, as when he says “La ilaha illallah” (there is no Gad but Allah), his nafs prompts him to say (la ilaha ila ana). (there is no God but mel. Therefore their program slows down and like planes they can reach only to a limit. Rockets cut through gravity and get out. Thefore because Naqshabandi Tanqat uses as their main zikr “AHlah” there is no more nafs with thern and they destroy thelr ego and kill it. Planes might come down, but rockets never. perhaps they may move on from the atmosphere of this earth and move on eternally. This is the way of the Naqshaband! tariqat. Planes move from one continent to another but rockets move from the earth to the highest skies and beyond. Those who are aSking to reach only io the sky (Sama) may use one of the forty tariqats, and those who are asking to Teach thé highest limit [Stdurathul Muntaha Jmust use the way of lhe Naqshabandi tariqat.

AM yk fy pen by . fe Why The Nagshabandi Way [s Most Distinguished
Bismillah tr Rahman ir Rakeern
f is nore important ta be able to conguer hearts
than te conquer the whole world. This isve ry important. The attribute of Rasooluilah (Sal) is to conquer the hearts of people. When their hearts are conquered they come to surrender. Rasoolullah (sal) worked for thirteen years to eslablish faith in Iman, When he established this he was able to conquer the hearts of people because Lie centre of iman{Makkanin Iman lis the heart. Then the sahaba surrendered to Allah Almighty and were able to reach the level of Rascolullah (Saf. This was the way to reach to the Hght of itman (Noorul Iman) and this method reached out to the far east and far west and to all places.
Therefore today we are in need of “conquerors of hearts" and not Doctors of law (Shariyat). Yes, we need peeple who are able to conquer the hearts of people and thereafter to be able te control these hearis. If after conquering hearts they are not controlled Shaitan can easily come back again to lake control, There is no other way of conquering hearts except by the
-~§-
methodology of zikr and by the way of tanmqats.
Today the spiritual power in all the other forty tariqats (all tarigats except Naqshabandi) have come to a stand: sil. Amongsl the forty-one tariqats,accepted by Ahli sunnat wa jamaah forty of ihem have now come ta ahalt. There is nomore spiritual power. Only a temporarily renewed power may corne sometimes to them. These other forty tarigats were once like forty fountains or forty taps which were running wilh Divine Blessings. Today all of them have stopped and there are no more blessings coming fromm them, which may conquer (he hearlis of people and control them. This can only be done today by the Naqshabandi tarigal because no other tarigat has Kamilul Irshad (perfect spiritual attraction). All the people of the other tariqauis who are keeping zikia have only been authorised previously (tabarukaah}). They have been authorised to recite or to make zikr but. as for Irshad (attraction) they have no power, When their sheik dies or passes away they are not able to comlinue with at least some ane equa. to thal previous shefk’s power, Therefore this powei keeps gradually failing. Tocay (here is a need for much more power and for more authorised people to make Irshad (altraction) and to be able to conquer hearts, to open the hearls of people and to contra! thei. Tf any of you know of such a person ini these other tanaats please be good enough to inform me of thern.
Through the East and through the West ali these lariqats are only officially functioning and you cannot find a real power in them. As for the people who follow those lariqats they only get a little bit of refreshinen| from szikr when they sit for these zikrs. When they
-9-
Sat
get up and Jeave there is no more power to corral thems This is lhe sign of approaching of Mahdi fatail. lt is also the same for the Ulema (doctors of law and learned mei.) Their spirituality is also failing. Today there are very lew real Ulema to address peopie and ta be able ta teach them what they may be in need of, The ulerna also is declining.
Today all power comes through the Naqshabandi order, because this power is growing and not decreasing, and ii is able to affect the hearts of ali people. Nagshabandi tariqat also has Jaziba, Jazbathat Tarigat. Jazba also means attraction - Divine attraction - that is to he able to carry the hearts of people and to control them. This only comes through the Naqshabandi tariqat and whoever who has his heart connected to it. We hope that Allah Almighty makes His servants to connect their hearts. We are more than ever in need at that power today. We hope that quarreling and fighting may not seperate people and that they become attracted to the way of Allah Almighty. Then they must have peace In their hearts by the way of zikr. Every tariqat today uses only the zikr that is done through: their tongues. It is only the Naqshabandi Lariqat which uses ikr through the hearts and only this heart zikr may control hearts. I zikr does not come through the heart ofa person Shaitan always reaches to that heart. When there is zikr in one's heart Shaitan mmst excape and go away from the heart. Therefore today the zikr of these other forty tariqats do not enter hearts. There is no authority for therm to look into hearts and to control them, This is done today only by the way of ihe most distinguished Naqshabandi tarigal. AH Imams
—~10-
are using their power now only through the Naqshabandi tarigat including Seyyadi Abdul Qadir Jilani (Qad). He is also dressed by this power so that he may coniro!l his murids (followers) from his time till today. There is only one [mam or main pillar in the Qacliriya Tariqat and that Imam is Muhiyadecn Abdul Qadir Jilani (Qadasallahu Sirrahul Azeez Al Alim!. He is alsc now using Naqshabandi power for controlling hearts. His contact is the Sullan ul Awliya who is in power toda‘ for lhe whole world. His heart is in contact with th s Sultan ul Awliya. The Imams of the other forty tariqats are also reaching lo this power in the same way that Abdul Qadir Jilani (Qad) reaches this Naqshabandi power and then they are controlling their murids through this way.
If zikr does not reach to the hearts the body does not surrender, and if the body does not surrender our hearts are nol yet prepared to carry real Iman (faith). Zikr makes Shaitanto go out fromthe hearts. No heavenly trusls nor heavenly blessings can come to the hearts of murids as long as Shailan is able to apprech their hearts, and they will have no opening (kashf). These murids will not be able to look to malakut to heavens, and everything that is veiled from them. They will not be able lo look al all this except through the power and lights of zikr (Noor-ul-zikr) which should reach to their hearts. If this light of zikr reaches to their hearts they will be able to look in front of them and behind. them, they will also be able to look inio the past and also into the future. when they are reaching to that hidden knowledge (kashi} in whichever direction that they may send that light (Noor) that direction be- comes clear to them and they shall be able to see.
-ll—
Therefore Nagshabandi tariqal is the way for all Non- MusHrns as Iman (fmith) for them is coming through that way now. The other Lariqats are not able to Carry Non- Muslims except Jor a short time. after this short time they will leave. 1 am looking into so mary tariqats. In Europe they are only carrying Non-Muslims for a short period of time. Then these Non-Muslims are leaving these tariqats and in the process leaving Islam. also. When they come and meet with the Naqshabanidi order, the Nagqshabandi order is able to carry everyone from Fast to West.
Mahdi [alai) shall come and we hope that he will come soon. The everits that are happening today are carrying on to that big event of Dunya Zuhural the last days. Mahdi (alai } should come after the war. The war is tomnake preparation for his mission. Therefore, there taust be a war. and then Mahdi (alai) will come. There is mo power on earth that will be able to stop this great war except the miraculous power of Mahdi falai}. IL will cease only with the mirculous power of Islain. Almighty Allah will show this huge power which is Islam to the non- muslims and to the urbelievers. Only one power the power of Takbir from an ocean of power will be used. Only the words “Allahu Akbar, Allaha Akbar, Allahu Akbar” will be used to stop all the fechnology that the mom- muslims and Kafirs are trusting on to bring cown Islam. Allah Almighty has given Lhat authority to Mahdi falaj to bring down non- believers. The power of technology shall be taken from them and their weapons will stop working. If is only for one saint who is authorised that there is the power fa switch on and off technology. He should switch it olf, He is authorised for that, During the coming of
—~12-
Mahdi alai) there shall aiso be with him the last Sheik oi the Naqshahandi Order. The Nagshabandi Order has 7007 Imams and ali of them are in the same rank. In the Qadiri tariqai ihere is only one Imam , who is Suitan ul Awliya Seyyadi Muhiyadeen. in Naqshabandi 7OO7 have this power. Yes and the last one shail be with Mahdi (alai).
Mahdi (alai) shall look at the outward aspect, to arrange everything and every action according to shariat without leaving anything and anyone who are against it. He is nol going to look to hearts. The hearts are left for the last Imam of the Naqshabandi order. He would be able to look at the hearts of all the people and to bring them under Divine Control and Shaitan is prohibited to approach their hearts.
Therefore now little by little spiritual power is reach- ing to the East and West. This spiritual power is working on hearts, Our mission is within limits, physically, but spiritually it is most powerful, as unlike a physical body A Spiritual body is not only one, but in ritumber, they are as many as mankind may need. IL is preparation time now, for hearts to accept zikrullah (rernemberance of Allah) and to accept also Noor (Light) and to work on lights of Iman {faith} so that they will be prepared ta be in the Divirie Presence and in the Holy Presence of Rasoolullah (Sal), We are now only making some short practices and showing some signs on it so that it will be easy to build the real power of the Naqshabandi order. May Allah bless you and light up your hearts and our hearts with His holy zikr.

The Finer Points of Character. ‘The Pilot at the controls
Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem.
We is Lhe creator of the Universe? Allah is the creator (Allahu Khaliqu Qulli Shayyin), Allah Almighty created everything and He is the creator of everything and He knows about everylhing. Among the creatures .only mankind has been honoured to be Muhaata - to ANah Almighty. Muhaata means that they have been honoured by Divine addressings- from Aliah Almighty. "Ya Ayvyuhal Insanu,” that honour is only for mankind. This is endless honour. Allah Almighty gave us endless honour with this divine addressing. No one can give a value to that addressing- “Ya Ayubal Insatiu”. No creatures olher than mankind are going to be addressed by the Divine Presence. Yes, that is endless honour for mankind, reaching from Pre eternity upto Etemity.
Allah Almighty gives such honour only to mankind. However mankind is not honouring cach other but instead they are asking dishonour for each other and trying to bring each other down, Allah Almighty likes lis servants to give respect and honour for each other. Therefore as much as you can, iry to respect and
—14-
honour people. Allah Abnighty will never say enough or slop giving honour. This is because He gave mankind endiess honour,
What is our capacity to give honour? On earth you have been given one name. In the first heaven (Awwal Sama) you have been called by another natne and in the second heaven with yet another name. all for the sake of Tashreeq - all for the purpose of honouring. On the Day of Promises, He addressed our souls with seven nares {Youm allas Rabbikium). Everyone has sever) names. Your name is only for you. Only one namie is common far the whole of mankind: that name is Abdullah. Everyone is named as Abdullah, and woren they are named Amatullah. These names never change. The other six names are different to each other. Therefore I am saying that through the seven heavens we have been given one name, Tashreefa- Just to be honoured.
Allah Almighty orders us to do worship and to do Ibadath (good actions). For what reason does Allah Aimighty order us to do this? It is for us to reach to our heavenly stations. By means of the physical body alone it is impossible to reach to the heavens. You need spiritual power for that, For example if man does nol have an aeroplane, he cannot fly. By himeslf alone he carmot do it, The plane too needs power to fy, and without this power planes cannat fly. in ihe same way your souls need spiritual power to reach heavenly stations and every kind of obedience, worship, ubudiya (servanthood) gives man power. By means of this power our souls can also fly. However, we are wasting it, and therefore we cannot make use
-15- of it, because of our comuniliing sins. For example, it is like a pot with holes being filled wilh water. The water goes out through the holes, Big sins make big holes and small sins make smali holes, taking away that water from the pot. In the same way you, by your sins, are wasling away that power that you are taking from your worshipping. So you must take care lo cover these holes, When you know that you are going to commit a sin you must say “Asiaghfirulla, Astaghfirullah tubthu darajathu ilalah”, “Oh my Lord [am asking you forgiveness”. Then this gets locked and is prevented, When this happens, there may be still another sin and yet another coming up. So many of them, If you do not take care all the power that you gel from worshipping will be cscaping you and you may not be able te keep that power with you, Therefore to be able to keep that power with you is more important than worshipping. That is why you find that most Awliya (saints) and holy men escape to the mountains, the deserts, and the jungles, so that they may commit less sing and thereby keep their spiritual power. In doing so they undergo difficult conditions, for it is mot easy to be living alone on mouhiains, jungles and deseris. But this is only for a while and then after taking and saving spiritual power they may fly over jungles, over deserts and oceans, they may walk on air and walk on cceans and with one step traverse deserts. Their steps may teach from East to West and from Earth to Heavens. Allah Almighiy atcders us to worship so that we can gain spritual power. Allah Almighty is mot in need of our worship. if our worshipping is net even enough for us to increase our spiritual power, what can our worship give to Him? All the angels and the whole
—-16§-
of creation is in worship and in glorilication of Him, everlasuingly and etermally, What. then are we giving (oO an endless Ovcaun with a drop? The glorifying of adil the creatures and angels and nature and man is only a spot in this endless and bottomless ocean in comparison to the endless and everlasting oceans of glory of Almighty Adah,
Mankind is so proud of worship. Maybe we are doing for half an hour Ruku, or for half an hour Sajda. For what purpose? Is it to make our wershtp better and to give more glory to Almighty Allah! Asthafirullah. ‘Yes we are looking at ourselves and feeling very proud that we are doing long Ruku and Sajda, thinking that we are making if better and better, Therefore I do nol like to do long Ruku and Sajda. The Prophet (Sal) therefore only said Subhanallahi Wabihatmndihi, Subhallahi! aleerm- three times. That was his duration of the sajda. But I have been praying in so many places and it takes so long. that Imam is perhaps saying it ten times, twelve times. fifteen times amd yet he is in Sajda. The Prophet (Sal) was saying it three times only. Particularly when you are praying with Jamaah, you musi be lighter. Rasoohillah (Sal) has knowledge of every fine point of the char- acteristic of our Egos, Our Egos tell us when we make a prayer of Two rakats that it should last for half and hour or more so as to to make ourselves proud and call ourselves the best ones. Shaitan makes us accept that we have dome the best prayer and to make us declare that ii was the best worship from us, IF a person says that I did the best worshipping, } did my best prayer he must say “Asthagfirullah”
7
Every time that you think or declare this way you must say” Asthagfirullah”. For it is never the best to be given to the Divine Presence.
Yes, sometimes we are entering into sins through our worship because we are proud of our worship. This retards our progress towards the heavens. There- tore we necd a controller over us. Now supersonic aeroplanes are fully automatic. Or are they? Is there a pilot coritroiling it? If he is not controlling it, why Is he sitting there? Even though the plane is fully wulomatic yet it is in need of a pilot fer controlling it. In the same way although you may be fully autornatic in your prayers, yet you are in need of a pilot to guide you and contro! you, Therefore we are in need of a Shetk (spirttual guide). The sheik knows the finer points of our Egos which are in need of correction,
Today new fashioned Muslims are giving fully au- tomatic power to everyone. They are denying and cursing to let a Sheik control them because of their Egos. fi is their Egos that are cursed. They say that holy books alone are enough. Fully automatic. But ft is nol enough without a controller. Those foolish people quote Quran, Sunnah, Quran Sunnah and Kitab Sunnah. What about the pilot? No pilat. Do you think that You are doing and knowing your best through Kitab and Sunnah only, without having some one to look ter and control you, Alimighty Allah says to His Prophet (Sal) "Wa sahabi amfil amar” - that is to control the Sahaba. Everyone knows to read the Holy Quran and Holy Hadis. Sa many priests and so many professors they too are reading [oly quran and Holy Hadis, but what is the benefit they derive from it? Therefore we
~iLS8—
are asking [rom Allah Aimighty for good understanding and to give us some one to control our actions and our worship, Yes like students who do their homework and the teacher who goes through it. These people are not even intelligent as these studenis who at least have their homework corrected. Yes these people are so proud of the way they are following and ii is the way of Shaitan. Shaitan was fully automatic, and Allah Almighty asked him to take Adam (alai}) as his pilot. He rejected this. He says “I won't accept Adam {alai) as controller over me. I won't carry any one tc be above me” that is the pride that destroyed Shaitan or Iblis. Likewise these people say thal they are able to read and understand what is in the Holy Quran and they say that oniy they may look and that they may understand and that they are net in need of a coutroller. May Allah forgive and bless us.

Yesterday [met an Englishman who said to me that he has been in Sri Lanka for the last thirty years in search of the Truth. What has he done during this period ot thirty years and to what point has he reached? } was trying to find this out and he could not tell me anything and 1 saw that he is a person lost as if in a hnge desert not knowing which direction to take. Although he was an unbeliever he must have been sincere and patient. He must have been patient because he left his homeland and was wearing a saffron robe searching for the Truth for the last thirty years. He had leit everything that he had in life and he was searching and seeking. Whal was his purpose unless he was sincere in his search.
