Shah-e Mardan, says I'm his soldier, he is in safety in this world and akhirah. He has honor in this world and akhirah. Say: O Shah-e Mardan Zidhu Ya Rabbi Izzan wa Sharafan wa Ridwanan wa Sul- tanan. Mashallah, Shah-e Mardan. O Dear one. O his friends, Salams to you. Salams to you from Shah-e Mar- dan. We receive his Salam with pleasure. We believe that Shah-e Mardan cares for us in this world. On Yaw- mu Mashar he intercedes for us, in the presence of Ra- sul. MashaAllah.

May our day be favorable my son. Thanks to Allah we woke up healthy. Our hope is that we don't sleep at any time of prayer. When Adhan of Muhammed is called, a new dress of a new life is dressed on us. When you wake up they give you a dress of new life, they can resurrect if they want. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. When it is called, Shah-e Mardan is the first to accept the invita- tion. His friends, his lovers. Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar. What a call, what a wonderful start. Allahu Akbar Alla- hu Akbar don

Don't sleep. Why do you sleep O heedless one? Allahu Dhul Jalal's Name is mentioned. Do not sleep. Do not sleep. His lovers are awake. You also stand up with them. Habibi Kibrya, who is dressed with Allahu Dhul Jalal's love, our Master (sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam), Master of the Universe. Wake up immediately, so that they dress you with the dress of a Master. Do not sleep, why do you sleep?

Oh those, who want heavens don't sleep. He is calling, five times. We don't ring the bell. They put the bell around an animal's neck, they go around. A bell is not the sign of any religion. None of the Prophets invited people with a bell. The bell is also fake, what they say is fake. Trinity, the cross, what they say are useless delu- sions. Come to reality, come to Haqq, come to truth. Leave fake things, people of the world they made Na- wruz. They did all kinds of insanity. What is Nawruz? What is its value? Is there good news? Did anyone say Allahu Akbar? No.

Did anyone say Bismillahir Rahmani Rahim? No. I draw this sword for Allah, did anyone say this? No. The Ban- ner of Shah-e Mardan "Inna Fatahna Laka Fat'han Mu- binan" (48:1) No. What happened? They are like they are from animal herds. When animals see green fields, they are happy. People celebrating Nawruz, when they saw green fields, were happy. They are from the ones with four feet.

Did Shah-e Mardan do what they do? How did you make these up? They say Nawruz, they burn fires, Dab- ka, dabka kicking. Men and women they go crazy; they scream ridiculously. What is it? Is it religion? Pure reli- gon, Hadrat Rasul (sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sal- lam). It's the religion of Allah's Beloved. Shah-e Mardan

stands over that religion. Did you say Salam to Shah-e Mardan. Salat and Salam to His Beloved. Praise be to our Lord. Did you say? No. You made a fire, jumped over it. That fire is going to burn you. Oh friends of Shah-e Mardan, lovers of Shah-e Mardan of this Ummah (nation) did they say Allahu Akbar on the day of Na- wruz? Did they say lets read Mawlid Sharif? No. Did they say lets run up a banner with Dhu al Fiqar? No. They will all collapse, be extinguished. They became worthless.

Do not look at the one who speaks, look at the one who makes us speak. Say, Bismillahir Rahmani Rahim. Say, for the sake of our Mawla who made this day a feast for the nations, who enlivens the earth. Let's call Adhan Muhammadi in His name. Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Did they say Allahu Akbar? No. All are worthless. They will grieve in the grave. They like fire a lot. They will find fire in the grave. Jump, they will be told in the grave, on the stones. They can't jump, fall down, burn. Angels pull them out again, you used to jump over fire. You were so happy, jump. They fall into it again, and burn. Nobody tells them, why? Nobody listens. Shah-e Mardan jumped over fire? Tawba Astag- firullah. Here Shah-e Mardan jumps over fire? Oh friends of Shah-e Mardan, three five, ten, people come together. You should assemble. Do not play Shaytan's games. Do not play Dabka (folk dance). Sit. You should have an assembly. There, tell Shah-e Mardan's beautiful stories. Those, following his way, tell Awliya and clean ones' stories, stories of Prophets; tell stories of Shah-e Mardan so that we are dressed with braveness. Say Ha- bibullah (sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam). You'll be dressed from his light. Tell from Luqman, Luqman the Wise, say. We didn't say for a long time. Oh holy Luq-

man al-Hakim. You have the cure for every disease. For your sake may the burdens on us be lifted. Be friends with these. Even animals want to shout at dawn. Any- one sleeping at dawn time is disgraceful. Especially those jumping over fire, Angels will push them into fire in their graves constantly. They will be burned, go out, then again they will hit his head, into the fire until the Day of Judgement. Stubborn liars saying, we're this, that. Where is your manhood? Where is your bravery? What did you do for Allah? You worked for Shaytan. You made a fire, jumped over it. That fire will burn you. If you don't repent, say "I will never do it again", inside your graves you'll find fire aplenty starting from tip to toe and vice versa. It will burn you till the last day. Our religion isn't a game. This is the advice of Shah-e Mar- dan. Pull yourself together. Get your act together. Shame on you, you weren't prudent. Shame on you, you didn't run up the banner of Islam. "Inna Fatahna Laka Fat'han Mubinan" (48:1).

Women, who are your close companions? You let them go among men. These are all Shaytan's ways. You will grieve also before you die. If you don't repent, you grieve inside the grave. If one hundred hodja prayed for you, it would be useless. The statesmen they came, like a bull their tummies, bellies. dancing, shouting. What kind of government is it? Is there any sultanate like this? Which Sultan did this before? Never. They were Sultans. Their sultanate was sealed in heavens. These look for a seal in this world. "We also danced in Na- wruz. Write our names also." Those, celebrating Na- wruz are left without faith. Is there Islam anymore? Are they Muslims anymore? Religion of Zardusht, they were worshipping fire, the head of Persians. Zardusht wor- shipped fire. That fire burned them. They came here.

Whatever they came for they were swept away. What is Zardusht? Shaytan's invention. You still follow him.

Do you ever tell about the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam) of the End of Times? Shah-e Mardan drew his sword and destroyed Khaybar Castle, at once with his sword? How can you say 'Alawi? You're liars. How can you say Shia? It's not true. The Imam will come in the End of Times. The Imam, he will build what these ignorant ones destroyed. He will sweep away the ignorance of these people, will build Islam on the foun- dations of Great Islam. An indisputable power and sul- tanate is coming. Keep your head or else your head breaks off. Fire is waiting inside the grave. You liked fire a lot. Go, jump inside the grave. Where will you jump? Like the meat on a skewer, from one side they will stab, Angels will turn them like this in fire. Fear Allah (jalla jalaluhu). Listen to Shah-e Mardan's advice. Did he jump over the fire. What is this disgrace? You made re- ligion disgraceful. Something is coming on you. Now Shah-e Mardan is very furious, angry because of these Nawruz celebrations. If Shah-e Mardan shouted because of their wildness, there wouldn't be any heads left above shoulders. An invisible sword would cut and their heads would fall.

But, there's no order. Let them be, there's an order. Let them do whatever. They'll be punished later on. Leave, there's no one left with brains. Twenty, thirty, forty mil- lion people celebrate Nawruz. Feasting, making fires, fire that burns you. Pull yourselves together. If not there's someone who will. Oh Our Lord, tawba Ya Rab- bi, let's repent to Allah (jalla jalaluhu). If not, you will suffer. Wrath won't leave you. Inside the grave you'll be a kabab. You jumped over fire? Here's fire. Shah-e Mar- dan intercede for us. Oh friends, Marhaba. Why didn't

you pray Fajr in a dargah, in a dervish lodge, in a tomb, in a masjid, in a mosque? Find a circle, sit, listen to the greatness of Islam – its pureness, cleanness, power, ma- jesty. Why didn't you listen? You went out in the streets, to the fields, made fires. Girls, women, you dance there. Is this halal? Where are our hodjas? Where are our scholars? They should open their mouths. Mouths will be sealed. Their muftis, their imams, who claim to be scholars, they don't say this is haram? How can they not?

Officials went there and danced. Jumped over the fire. How many fell into it, they saved were saved with great effort. Fire isn't a game. Oh, mercy Our Lord. Do not remove us from the light of faith. Do not keep us away from the way of Your Beloved (sallallahu alayhi wa aali- hi wa sallam),his uncle's son. The adab of Shah-e Mar- dan to be our adab; bravery, courage are his honors. His honor. Respect for people, the nation of Muhammad - service is their sign. Do it, your face will be bright. Or else your face will be like coal. Fire goes to coal and burns it. Let's say O friends, Bismillahir Rahmani Rahim. May He clean us. Let's say Bismillahir Rahmani Rahim. Bismillahi lladhi La Yadurru ma'a Shay'in Min Al Ardi wa La Mina s Sama'i, wa Huwa s-Sami'u l 'Alim. Say the Basmala Sharifa, and blow.

No troubles, no distress left. Say Shah-e Mardan, we sa- crifice ourselves for your way, count us from your sol- diers. Did they say "do not send us away"? They didn't say. Millions of people filled the arenas. They did Dab- ka,(folk dance) They danced. Government officials, some of them fell into fire. Some can't jump as they have, mashallah, bellies. Belly like a bull. Do not say this much. I'm not saying. Shah-e Mardan is describing them. They feed their stomachs, don't think about their

minds. They don't act wisely. Their plan of living, their life style - we're socialist. Socialist government ha? Ashamed to say Islam. You'll be ashamed. Allah makes you ashamed. You won't succeed in anything. It is crossed out. Your constitution will not last. You forgot Allah (jalla jalaluhu), didn't say the Basmala. See what happens. Everything you build, will fall on your head. This is Shah-e Mardan. It's not mine. I'm telling his news. Say! Saifun Maslul. Shah-e Mardan had Dhu Al Fiqar in his hand. Did they show it, Shah-e Mardan's sword? Didn't show anything. That sword will cut most of them. Live in the way of Allah(jalla jalaluhu), you'll go His way.

Whoever follows His way finds his grave a garden of Paradise. Whoever does not follow finds a hole of hell. Whoever jumps into fire, finds a hole of fire. Wake up people. O dear Shah-e Mardan, we tell you may all the world listen, they listen or not. He does not give me sal- ary or pension. We are the friends of Shah-e Mardan. We are friends. We want to be in his shade, the Lion of Allah. We don't want the shadow of idols. We don't want the crackle of fire. We want to stay under the ban- ner of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sal- lam). Was there a crowd like this for our Master (sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam)? No. No, but something is coming on them, within this year. We find protection in Allah. Turn, keep Shah-e Mardan's way. They keep an eye on you in this life and the life to come.

Today's sohbah, our way is through sohbah Shah Naqshband Hadrat ordered, twelve thousand times. Ta- riqatuna s-Sohbah wa l-Khairu fil Jam'iya. Our way is through sohbah. We speak from Shah-e Mardan's soh- bah, we don't sit and gossip. Whoever gathers around love, whoever starts his day with love, reaches evening

with love. Whoever spends an evening with love, reach- es morning with joy. O people, listen to Shah-e Mardan. May your days be favorable, also your akhirah. The door of Repentance is open, not closed. We repented. If they say, "We didn't know O Our Lord" Allah accepts their tawba. They forgot Janabul Allah (jalla jalaluhu), forgot Allah (jalla jalaluhu). They worship fire, didn't say Alla- hu Akbar or send Salat Salam to Rasul. They didn't mention Shah-e Mardan. They only did Dabka-folk dance. They jumped over fire. Fire eats them.

Beware, beware. Fire isn't only what you make. There are kinds of fire. Fire in a plane, fire in a boat, a train catches fire, a truck, cars, the forests, houses catch fire, factories, people inside them are burned, lots of fires. Qu anfusakum- Oh people save yourselves - Anfusakum min al nar. There is a fire no one knows where it origi- nates. You don't know where it is coming suddenly fire appears. Those burning people with fire they'll be burned themselves. Al Jaza'u min gins Al 'Amal What goes round will come back. You killed someone, you'll be killed,burned you'll be burned, destroyed. Beware of Allah (jalla jalaluhu). Educate Men, don't keep them in prisions. Serve people, don't make them slaves. Leave the village people alone. No one works in the villages. Town people are bewildered. They don't know what to do. It is the Days of Sedition. Our time is the time of sedition. At times like this, it is best to seek seclusion. Sedition times, who is saved? The one staying at home is the one who will get out of trouble.

This is time of the last times. The signs are appearing We are the ummah of the last days. We are at the end of the last days. All these people sin. May Allah (jalla jala- luhu) keep them away from us. That's why I am calling Shah-e Mardan. I'm calling him because he has his

sword. He isn't scared from their guns and bombs. When he shouts Ya Allah (jalla jalaluhu) all heads fall down. They stay motionless there. Islam is almighty. No one can oppose it. We aren't afraid. We're trying to be one of those whom Shah-e Mardan loves. Oh Shah-e Mardan, put our name with those who love you. Let's be saved in this world and also in the next. O our Lord for the sake of Rasulullah (salla 'llah 'alayhi wa Alihi wa sal- lam) Bismillahir Rahmani Rahim. Keep us in the safe circle. Let's not be with Shaytan's followers. Beware in order to be saved. You're not running away from him but following him (Shaytan).The whole world. Be ashamed.

A new Pope was elected. Oh people he didn't say any- thing. No advice - "Shaytan is the enemy, don't follow him". A new Pope was elected, I hear. Listen to the news. "When Pope goes out bells ring "dan dun, dun dan, dan dun, dun dan." Except for bells I didn't hear anything else. Why is he Pope? To have the bells ring? There're many others to make bells ring. What are you advising mankind? No one saying anything? Oh those listening to me be fearful of Allah (jalla jalaluhu), obey Allah (jalla jalaluhu). Follow adab, be a servant. Do not follow Shaytan. He didn't say this. They say he moved his hand. He raised the cross in his hand! This isn't reli- gion. This does not make anyone "Men." Religion is the religion of Allah(jalla jalaluhu). It has rules, what not to do. Did he say that? No he didn't. This world is chaos. Shaytan put up his tent in this world and causes chaos everywhere. Now Shi'a are also angry. Shah-e Mardan, also is angry with the Head of Christians. He didn't ad- vise anything. Only lifted his hand. This does not save Men. Advise in order to save Men.

Oh our Lord forgive us, forgive us. Forgive us Allah (jal- la jalaluhu). Do not leave us to our bad nafs. Too many Shaytans, let's not follow them. Let's follow right path. Let's say Basmala. Let's remember our Lord so our day is good. Good Tidings for here and herefter. Amin. Wa Salamun 'Ala l Mursalin, Khususan Ala Sayydi l Mursa- lin. Salam to Shah-e Mardan. Today's few words are a gift to ikhwan ud-Din, brothers in religion. Fatiha.

Chapter Summary
- Shah-e Mardan is Sultan.
- The ones, who love him, the ones, who love Shah-e Mardan, the Lion of the Arenas of the brave ones, let's love him, respect his name. When he woke up, he used to say Bismillahir Rahmani Rahim.
- If you say you are on his way. Wake up, say Bis-
millahir Rahmani Rahim. Say, "Shah-e Mardan count us from your army".
- Our degree isn't high enough to address our Lord. We can only send Salams to Shah-e Mar- dan and want to wear his group's dress of honor. Whoever pays respect to Shah-e Mardan, says I'm his soldier, he is in safety in this world and akhirah.
- We believe that Shah-e Mardan cares for us in
this world. On Yawmu Mashar he intercedes for us, in the presence of Rasul. MashaAllah.
- Oh those, who want heavens don't sleep. He is calling, five times.
- None of the Prophets invited people with a bell. The bell is also fake, what they say is fake. Trin- ity, the cross, what they say are useless delu- sions. Come to reality, come to Haqq, come to truth.
- Oh friends of Shah-e Mardan, lovers of Shah-e
Mardan of this ummah (nation) did they say Al- lahu Akbar on the day of Nawruz? Did they say lets read Mawlid Sharif? No. Did they say lets

run up a banner with Dhu al Fiqar? No. They will all collapse, be extinguished. They became worthless.
- Even animals want to shout at dawn. Anyone
sleeping at dawn time is disgraceful
- Those, celebrating Nawruz are left without faith. Is there Islam anymore? Are they Muslims any- more? Religion of Zardusht, they were worship- ping fire, the head of Persians. Zardusht worshipped fire. That fire burned them. They came here. Whatever they came for they were swept away. What is Zardusht? Shaytan's inven- tion. You still follow him.
- The Imam will come in the End of Times. The Imam, he will build what these ignorant ones destroyed. He will sweep away the ignorance of these people, will build Islam on the founda- tions of Great Islam. An indisputable power and sultanate is coming.
- Listen to Shah-e Mardan's advice. Did he jump
over the fire. What is this disgrace? You made religion disgraceful.
- We speak from Shah-e Mardan's sohbah, we don't sit and gossip. Whoever gathers around love, whoever starts his day with love, reaches evening with love. Whoever spends an evening with love, reaches morning with joy.
- A new Pope was elected. Oh people he didn't say
anything. No advice. "Shaytan is the enemy, don't follow him".
- He raised the cross in his hand! This isn't relig- ion. This does not make anyone "Men."

CHAPTER 12

The Majestic Will

Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil Al-Haqqani An- Naqshbandi, Sohbat of the 24th of March, 2013.

It is He (Most High) who makes laugh and makes cry! (53:43) As-Salamu alaykum, O attenders, O you, who gather around Shah-e Mardan, the Lion of Allah, who gather in sincere affection for him, so their souls are revived by loving him. O beloved brethren of the Be- loved of God. Thanks be to Allah, our Protector, who has not constrained us to our bed; our Protector, who made us get up; our Protector, who gives us strength, passionate love and ardor and who granted in His Mag- nificence to His Beloved that in his Beloved's good plea-
sure His own good pleasure is found.

We have entered a new day: A new day with new divine provisions. So let us say, O beloved brethren, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Let us say, O beloved brethren: La ilaha illa-Llah Muhammadu r-Rasulu-Llah (salla Llahu alayhi wa sallam) and also to Shah-e Mardan, the Lion of the Battle Grounds, we offer greetings of blessing and peace. And peace be upon those who follow their ways;

may they be blessed; may they be in bliss; may they car- ry forever the crown of true faith on their heads! Shay- tan cannot harm them in any way. Al-Hamdu li-Llah. If we carry on our heads the crown of true faith, the crown of faith, the crown of Islam. We don't have to fear any- thing. Let us say: Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Let us crown our day with the crown of the noble Basmalah. Our anxieties will vanish. Our worries will disappear, none of our troubles or sorrows will remain. From the matters of this world there is nothing to fear. Let us call the great ones. We are under the banner of our distin- guished great grandmother Hala Sultan - may she not let us be far from her!

Everyone rises under the banner of the one he loves. O our beloved ones, each one of Allah's beloved servants has his own banner. Whoever steps under his banner will neither be deprived in this world nor in the hereaf- ter. Unfortunately such issues have been forgotten or deliberately erased from memory. The human being lives by spiritual power. If man forfeits his spiritual power he will himself be lost. Like a fish taken out of the water, he will flap about in bewilderment. This world will make him dizzy. Those who forfeit their wa- ter become dizzy. Our waters are an ocean. So let us dive into the ocean of Shah-e Mardan! Let us enter the court of passionate love and ardor. Let us praise and laud our Lord to express our gratitude! Upon His che- rished Beloved whom He sent, let us offer countless greetings of blessings and peace; let us recite Salawat ash-sharif for him.

In the old days they would call in the mosques "Sayyidi Kainat as Salawat!" to make the congregation rise. "Send blessings and peace on the Master of all Creation! Get up!" And with "Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Mu-

hammad" they would wipe their hands over their faces. If you wipe your face whenever the name of our Master is mentioned, your face will become pure, it will shine. That is why in our mosques, as part of our old customs, when our most revered Prophet, the kingly Messenger, was mentioned by name, the muezzin would call out: "Ala Rasulina salawat!", meaning: "Send blessings and greetings of peace upon our Master!" Masha Allah, how wonderful! Not to forget our Master, but to send bless- ings and peace upon him – how wonderful, how truly wonderful!

They have abolished our old customs, and together with them all goodness has disappeared. No goodness is left with people. But no, our Master is in constant remem- brance. He is the Master of all creation because all of creation was created for his sake. Our Master is the Master of all creation. Our Master is the Pride of the Whole Universe. "Fahr-i Kainat as salawat!" They don't say that anymore in our mosques these days because the mosques are full of ignorants. No one tastes the sweetness of Islam.

Performing services in the mosques has become a means of livelihood. They take a few pennies to make a living. But service for the mosque is not a worldly kind of service. O our beloved brethren of Shah-e Mardan, we are asking for gatherings which will teach us these things, we are asking for sincere advice, which will be- come a source of love. Without love nothing happens. You can prepare a pot, put everything inside, set it on the fireplace, but without lighting the fire it will not cook. "Can food be cooked without fire, Ya Hu?" "Of course, it can!" "From what does it get cooked?" "We put it under the sun and that way it gets cooked as well." How clever! True faith is cooked in the melting

pot of passionate love. That's how it becomes sweet. That's why the true believer is sweet. The unbeliever is poisonous, but the true believer is a healing cure.

O Shah-e Mardan, grant us support, O beloved brethren of Shah-e Mardan! Get up early in the morning! Men should not hang around in the house, unless they are disabled, that's something else. But a man who is alive and well should open the door saying "Bismillahir Rah- manir Rahim". Say "Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim" and the doors of all goodness will open for you. You should know why you got up and for whom you got up. "O my Protector, Who has created me, I am remembering Your Most Exalted Name: Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim". Do not sleep, but rather, if you are able to walk go to the noble mosque. Find spiritual relief in the noble mosque. Then, after the prayer, be ready for the gathering of Shah-e Mardan. O beloved brethren, O intimate friends, this used to be our schedule in the old days. What ter- rific practices were these. What a fantastic schedule it was! What a lovely character we had. How wonderful were our beliefs and how marvelous were our deeds! All that has been taken away from us. Those who have made us lose all that, have erected statues and turned them into places of worship. One day they will collapse on their heads. There is a time for everything. Every- thing happens in its fixed time. Isn't it so? For every event exists an appointed time. When that hour arrives, He will hit and destroy them without leaving even a trace. But He is waiting until the appointed time.

O people, do you hear what Shah-e Mardan says? "For those who forget Allah a whip will come from heavens." A kurbash is coming, a kurbash is coming. They will be whipped. Who is getting whipped will go half insane. Today men have lost three quarters of their wits, one

quarter is left, not enough for themselves nor for others. The Sultans, the possesors of one single majestic will, have gone. One single will without coercion reaching from West to East, gathering all under one majestic will. With the Sultans, the grandsons of Shah-e Mardan, eve- ryone acted according to their (the Sultan's) will. They acted without coercion; maybe with fondness, maybe not. Acting out of fondness, taking pride in it a person who says regarding his leader's or ruler's, governor's or general's orders "at your command with all my heart!", serves the one whom he loves from his heart. He acts out of passionate affection.

There is no compulsion in religion(2:256). In our reli- gion there is no coercion! If you do it, do it with passio- nate enthusiasm! Do not do it staggering! Run, run to it! If you give this up for them, they will come and kiss your feet. They'll even, as they say, "kiss your behind". It's a rude expression, but it fits exactly. Those who don't prostrate to Allah, who don't accept Allah, they are prostrating before everyone for their needs. They are taking power from satan. That's exactly what they de- serve. They find no rest here or herafter, they are con- demned to punishment. "Learn, 'ta’allam', learn!", says Allah's venerable Messenger and Shah-e Mardan is tell- ing us, "Learn. Learn the beautiful ways! Do not start Shaytan's work as soon as you open your eyes. Be clean, be well mannered, clad yourself with the attributes of our cherished Master!" Who is doing this? The ones say- ing "Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim". The ones who know the way to the mosque. Those who lost the way to the mosque are on their way to hell, their life is finished, they are rotting. Their lifetime is halved and their lives are poisoned, no matter if they are rulers or doctors.

Do not forget Allah! O my beloved brethren of Shah-e Mardan, what marvelous advice, what a wonderful ga- thering! Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Let us listen, my beloved brethren. Let us remember our Lord, the Majes- tic Exalted, Most High! Let us say "Allahu Allah, Allahu Allah, Allahu Allah, Allahu Allah, Allahu Allah La ilaha illa-Llah Allahu Allah Allahu Allah La ilaha illa-Llah, Al- lahu Allah La ilaha illa-Llah Sayyiduna Muhammadu r- Rasulullah." Let us revive our beings by saying it!

You've become so lethargic. Your faces have become unsightly, women and men alike. The nobility has dis- appeared, the elegance is gone. They are painting their faces. The more paint they smear everywhere, the uglier they become. Come, be one of Shah-e Mardan's beloved brethren! Let's be part of his circle of close friends! May our day be full of goodness, O beloved brethren! It is a new day with new divine provisions. Our day is indeed a new day, with a new laden table descending from the door of the Sultan. The disciples of the Prophet Isa put a question to Prophet Isa (upon him and upon our Prophet be blessings and peace) saying: "Can your Lord send down a laden table from the heavens?" Are the heavens a soup kitchen? Are the heavens the food stall of a cook? Or is heaven some kind of restaurant? What is this? What are you asking? "O, but we would like it to descend so we can eat from it and our hearts may be in peace." If your hearts find peace eating food, your faith is not real faith!

If you only had said: "So that the eyes of our hearts may open, to let us find peace may He send it to us out of His divine grace!" But what did these disciples say? "Your Lord?!" They didn't even say "Our Lord"! "Can He send down a table from up there?", they asked. Is it a soup kitchen, a food stall or a restaurant? Is it not

enough for you what's here on earth, so that you de- mand a laden table from heavens? What a shame! Was that a worthy kind of understanding for the disciples of the great Prophet Isa alayhi salam - to ask such a ques- tion? "Ay so that our hearts may find peace." If your heart finds peace eating food, can it find strength of faith?

Well, this was the level of their understanding. From our Master no one demanded anything like this. From our Master, the Sultan of Prophets, nobody asked any- thing like "Let a laden table come down from heavens, our stomachs are empty, we are starving!" No one said, "Let a table come down!" Maybe they said, "Ya RasuluL- lah", showing it to him, "because we couldn't find any- thing to eat we've tied stones to our bellies, to stop the pangs of hunger from tearing our stomachs apart." And our revered Master simply lifted up his blessed robe to let them look meaning, "You have tied on one stone, I have tied on two. My Lord knows, when it is time to send down a laden table. My Lord knows. Are you be- lieving in Allah? If you don't believe you may tie ten stones to your belly, you will still not believe and if ten laden tables came down, you would still not believe!"

La ilaha illa-Llah, Sayyiduna Muhammadu r-Rasulullah (salla 'llah 'alayhi wa Alihi wa sallam). How wonderfully he taught, our revered Master! He made them get by with one date in twenty-four hours. Such a people, with such a faith in their Prophet they were, that they con- quered the whole world. They did not demand: "Ya Ra- sulullah let a laden table come down for us from heavens so we can fill our stomachs!" Our revered Mas- ter simply showed them the two stones tied on. Allahu Akbar! Salla-Llahu 'alayhi wa Alihi wa sallam. O my Lord! How wonderful is the teaching of that Beloved of
