s the first one to rebel in my Divine Presence!'. Satan is the worst servant. Yes, even he is a servant, although he is the worst. He wants all of mankind to be like him: a bad servant. The Lord has sent his good servants to His servants on earth to be aware of this. I see so many notices on the church wall, but never the sign, 'Beware of satan!', even though he has been our first enemy since the beginning of creation. We are not really enemies of each other, but satan makes us. This 20th century is the worst century since the beginning of time. People are following satan more than they have ever done because they are not interested in anything belonging to Heaven. They are only interested in their enjoyments and in fulfilling their physical body's desires. That is all. This morning I was watching people running with their Samsonite briefcases. In the evening I see them running back. What are they running after? I ask them, 'Did you catch what you were running after?' The days pass, months, years and our life ends. Our Samsonite will remain and we will be carried to our graveyard. If you know that your life ends in the graveyard, why don't you consider that? Why do you cheat yourself and say that there is no God? Who is teaching you such nonsense? Religious people are disturbed by people's actions. Interfaith, the way I see it, is to join every faith, for every faith to meet each other and to find a way to save people in this life and in the next. Only that point is important for people to remember: that their life will end in the graveyard. We must find a way to remind people, otherwise their lives will be heedless. People are as if they were drunk or deaf. The more you speak, the less they will listen. If they listen, they will not hear. If they hear, they will not listen. Even if they do understand you, they will not give it any value and they will not practise the advice. That is why meetings like these are not enough. Religious people must at least be representatives of prophets and saints and they must ask each other in which way we can come all together to save people by reminding them. If the kingdom of satan is not destroyed, the Kingdom of Heavens cannot be established. We are fighting each other by the command of satan. Every day you see so much dirt on television, people are learning every kind of dirt through there, polluting the minds of young people too. From day to day, more chaos and darkness is coming. Problems, miseries and sufferings are increasing and governments are more and more shocked. They don't know what to do. They think that it is an economical
problem to be solved. But the real problem is satan. He causes the governments to look in the wrong direction. It is not an economical problem, it is something which belongs to our souls. We have lost the values of mankind. But satan does not allow them to say such things. They cannot see that this chaos into which every nation is falling into, is the result of our bad actions. Satan will not cease to push mankind into leaving all their values behind. That is the reason. Satan urges them to call it an economical crisis. But no! Economically we are on the highest level. No-one here is dying of hunger and everything in this life is arranged in a best way. Thank the Lord for that. Friends can say bitter words, enemies always speak sweet, so that you will continue to run into your disaster. We must try to come together all of us, to prevent satanic dogmas and ideas to live. We must accept Heavenly Advice to reach peace. If you want to save yourself and your surrounding, you must destroy the kingdom of satan, even in detail. You will know what is the best for you and for others, as well as knowing what is the worst. Use your mind and your will-power. That will prevent you from falling into chaos. When you are using your mind and your will-power, you will find out that mankind, no matter what nationality or religion, was created for Divine Service. Sohbet-264 Fast! Hunger Will Break the Pride of Your Ego! * London, Ramadan 1994
A´udhu biLlahi mina shaytanir-rajim Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim In the name of Allah Almighty, All-Merciful, Most Beneficient, Most Munificent
You are the Sultan, the Sultan of Sultans. You are the Great, no-one can be great, only You, our Lord. Every greatness is nothing in front of your Divine Greatness. We are nothing. In this holy month Allah Almighty grants us from his Endless Blessings and we need his Blessings. Although we are nothing, we claim to be something by giving ourselves empty titles so that we can get a value. But even if you try to give this value to yourself, it is nothing. It is useless. As long as a person wants to give himself a value, he will be cheap, cheaper, cheapest... Because as long as someoneis claiming to be something, he will be looking at his own power, his knowledge, his position, his business, his rank, his family, his race, his richness... With all this he will want to give himself a value, but in reality he is becoming cheaper and cheaper and he will fall down into the dustbin and become rubbish himself. If you try to be something, I will come and look at you when you are dying, and after death I will look to see how you are. You will probably be smelling badly! Is that your value? You, who are claiming to besuch an important one! If you really think you are so valuable, let me take you to the market of dead bodies after you have died, and then let us see how valuable you are! Yes, that is the value of all of those who are claiming to be something now. Some people put stars on their shoulders or badges.
Even children are proud when they wear lions, or wolves or foxen on their pocket. People are not using their mind and that is why they are becoming like small children. They are happy and even proud with such useless things. Pride only belongs to the Lord of Heavens. He has the right to be proud, no-one else. No-one has the right to be proud. This century is the century of pride. Everyone are proud-ones. When they are proud they will be jealous, envious, merciless and injust people. All those characteristics come from pride. Of all creatures, the first proud-one was Satan. He claimed to be proud, and all the angels kicked him down. He was kicked from the highest position to the lowest. We are fasting. We must fast, because we have been ordered to. Since the first man until today, it is a heavenly order: "O mankind, you must fast!". Fasting makes you humble. When you are full, you will be proud and it is not for you, to be proud. That is why it is the most important worshipping, to fast. The Seal of Prophets mentioned to his nation and to all nations: "For everything there is an entrance, and the entrance of worshipping is fasting. Without fasting, you cannot be a worshipper. Why? Because your ego will not let you. It will first reject, object and refuse to be a servant. Your ego will tell Allah, "Come down and I will go up!" That is how dirty the characteristics of the ego is. It is the worst creature that has ever been created, your ego. But it is so powerful. It even asks Allah Almighty to come down! It will never accept to be a servant. Try it yourself. Everyone has an ego. Do you think that your ego is an obedient servant? Isn't it always rejecting and refusing to fast and pray and to do this or that? Isn't it always asking to do wrong things? It always wants to be against the rules of heavens. It wants to be free. What is that foolishness of the people of the 20th century? They want to be free-ones! That is the claim of their egos. They do not want to be under any control or command. They want to be absolutely free. That means they are saying, "You are there, Allah Ŕ I am here!" May they be forgiven... Nothing can be more effective to put the ego down, than hunger. When Allah Almighty created the ego, He asked, "Who are you and who am I?" The ego answered, "You are you and I am I." It did not say, "You are my Lord and I am your servant!" Allah then ordered the ego to be put 1000 years into hell-fire. After that the ego was asked the same question again and it gave the same answer. It was then ordered to be put into the cold hell for another 1000 years. Again it gave the same answer. It was then ordered to be put into the valley of hunger for 1000 years Ŕ hungry. When it was brought out and asked, "Who am I and who are you?", the ego answered, "You are my Lord, my powerful Lord and I am your weak servant." It was trembling. Nothing except hunger can make the ego declare servanthood. That is why since the first man, we have been ordered to fast. It is in the Old Testament, New Testament and all other Heavenly Books. The fastings in those books are very difficult. The easiest fasting has been given to the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad, may peace be upon him. Even for his nation, fasting was difficult in the beginning. During the first few years, the companions of the prophet were only allowed to have a break of the fast between maghrib and isha. After isha they had to fast again. So they had a fast of 22 hours. Then
Allah Almighty made it easier for the nation. We can eat and drink and enjoy all night until dawn. Even if it is the easiest fasting, many people are not observing it. But it is the best treatment for our physical being and also the best treatment for our egos. It is also the best treatment for our souls, to enable them to go up to the Heavens. While you are fasting, your soul is asking to reach higher levels in the heavens. Try to keep this rule of fasting as much as possible. If you are new and you haven't been fasting before, try to fast, make the intention. That is the most important factor of obediency and worshipping. Allah Almighty will not accept any worship without the intention. You must intend to do a worshipping for the pleasure of Allah Almighty, intending to follow his Holy Command. If not, it is not a worshipping. Use your intention! "I am praying for the pleasure of my Lord! I am fasting to follow his Holy Command and to make him happy and pleased with me." Every action that a believer wants to do, should be done in the rememberance of Allah, to make Him pleased with us. If you want to do anything, and you know it is going to make Him pleased, then do it! If not, then don't do it, beware! Some punishment can come to you sooner or later. Don't be cheated, if the Lord Almighty Allah gives you your punishment later, it doesn't mean that He is not punishing. No! Don't be cheated if He is delaying His punishment. It only means that He is waiting to see if you are repenting, or not. He wants all His servants to ask for pardon. When you intend, you will find the capacity to fast, to complete your fast. If you are a beginner and you do not reach that point, even though you have intended, and on the first day of fasting you realise at noon time that you cannot continue, then break your fast. Try the second day. You can then improve and add another hour, and so on you add one more every day. By the middle of Ramadan you will be able to complete your day. That is a way, step by step to reach our target. Don't say that you can't, and don't be too strict. Even our children are not too keen on worshipping. Teach them step by step. And with new Muslims be tolerant, o Muslims! Don't say anyone it is impossible. It is only a question of training.

Sohbet-265 Sohbet from the 9th of Oktober, 2oo5 , the 7th of Ramadan
Maulana Sheikh Nazimřs first Sohbet after his return from Syria and Libanon
Mankind‟ s mission and honour: to act on behalf of their Lord
A´udhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim, Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, la haula wa la quwatta illa bi-llahi-l řAliyu-l řAzim.
As-salamu alaikum! Meded, ya Sultanu-l Anbiya, Meded, ya Sultanu-l Awliya, Meded, ya Sahibu Zaman, ya Sultanana, Meded!
We are in a holy month. It is the holiest month through the year: Shahru Ramadan, Ramadan Mubarak. We are thanking Allah Almighty, saying: ŖYa Rabbi, laka-l hamd wa shukr, that You are making us to reach to this holy month again. So many people were with us last year, but this year they are not- taken away.ŗ Kulli shay yarju ila aslihi- everything is going to come back to its own personality or origin. Everything must come back, that is an unchangeable wisdom and Allah Almightyřs Order.
There is a saying: Everything on earth is earth: kulli shay řala turab turabun. This is Dunya, the world; you are looking and seeing so many things over it: plants, animals and mankind, and you are saying: ŖThis is a tree, that is an animal, that is a man- how you are saying everything on this planet, what is from it, is going to be as before? As before- nothing on this world.ŗ
And the Creator He arranged this world; among so many, hundreds, thousands, millions and billions of stars and galaxies- He chose this planet to be our homeland. He prepared it and then landed Sayyidina Adam (on it), because he was appointed and granted from the Lord of Heavens to be on this land Calipha, our Lordřs deputy. Therefore He prepared this land and finally sent His Calipha. Yes, Sayyidina Adam was created in Paradise and he was there, but Allah Almighty was saying to the Angels: ŖI am going to bring in creation a new creature that he should be My deputy.ŗ When Allah Almighty said this, the Angels said: ŖO our Lord, why You are creating a deputy, a new creature, that they are going to do so many things on earth that You are not happy with that actions from that new creature?ŗ Allah Almighty said: ŖI know! What you know, I know, you donřt know! You know that point from that new creature: that they should be trouble-makers, fighters, killing and destroying, and doing so many disliked things, but yet I know about them more than you, because I am Ŗ Řala yařlamu ma khalaqŗ, the One who knows what He created. I am the Creator, keep your Adab, I know what Ijust created! You know this, but I know something elseŗ, Allah Almighty was saying.
And they were there, in Paradise, and the earth was here. Sayyidina Adam was appointed to be on earth Calipha, Caliphatullah, deputy of Allah Almighty. And when Allah Almighty prepared reasons that it should be, it was going to be a way or wasila to come on earth, to be landed. Therefore so many things happened and finally Adam and Eve had been landed on earth. They came here to be king on earth, to make everything for His Honour, to act on earth on behalf of Allah Almighty. That is your mission: Everyone just granted that honour that they must do everything on behalf of their Lord Allah Almighty!
What you are thinking? Mankind- where they are now? Mankind now knowing their mission? No, no one is knowing, no one is saying this point, no one is saying that: ŖOur mission is to act on behalf of Creator, our Lord Allah Almighty.ŗ Where are governments, where are our leaders? Our universities, our teachers, schools- where they are, what they are teaching? It should be the first point to be taught to our small ones: for what they have been created and by whom. They are teaching this? No!
I was in New York, about ten years ago, and they took me to the UN center. There was (a sign showing) a pistol, perhaps bigger than me, and a handkerchief tied on it. That means: they are stopping pistols, tying, so that no more wars on earth. O drunk people! If it is written for them that fighting- you can stop it?
I was entering, looking around, and I was praying Dhuhr. But some of our brothers, including Raja Ashman- Allah bless him also-, one group was coming later and they were asking me if they can pray here. I said to them: ŖOkay; yes, you can do. What is the matter? A free place, go and pray.ŗ They were beginning and (suddenly there was) coming (someone) like a North Pole bear, running and shouting: ŖYou canřt pray here, because from this entrance Allah is never getting in!ŗ Coming (like him) such five or seven bears, running and saying: ŖYou canřt pray here! No Allah here!ŗ
I am witness! I am saying: ŖO my Lord, make this Dunya to fall on them!ŗ You think they are doing anything for the benefit of mankind (there)? Never! But always doing for the benefit of Shaitan. Perhaps two hundred or more governments are (represented) there, nations, coming, including our heedless (gafil) Muslim countries- they are also coming and attending there. I am very angry with them that they are going into such a place that is against their Lord! No respect, not saying: ŖBismillahir Rahmanir Rahimŗ, shouting, quarrelling. Therefore no any good result. That is center of Shaitans, center of Diabolo, Sadanas! For the sake of Sadanas they are going there. And I am making this (prayer) on them, I am coming back. Not getting in, but getting out, not to come on us that building… Perhaps one day coming…Instead to be destroyed that two buildings- but Satan keeping its center- _that_ center must be destroyed! But I hope…mankind not doing this- from another world they should send on them (something) to be all of them down! And I am making two Rakaat Shukr- all under, shouting like Karun!
After an eclipse there is (always) some slap…2-3 seconds and 1oo.ooo people under ruins now…After an eclipse _must_ be something…and also war is coming! Mankind now is never going to find the days to be in the ways that passed. Now like the leaves that are coming yellow and falling down, they should fall down, one after another.
They are not teaching… No Allah? No God? Allah should show them if He is the Creator, Lord, or not! Our mission is to act on behalf of our Lord on this planet, nothing else! Anyone saying this from Archbishops, from Rabbis, from Hindus, Buddhists? Who can object on my point, that I am saying? Mankindřs mission on earth is to act on behalf of the Lord or this world is going to be destroyed- from East to West, from North to South. Finished! Stamped!... X.! You understand or sleeping?...
Allah Almighty was saying to the Prophet: ŖYou are Only Mudhakkir; you must remind My people on earth, because they are forgetting. Remind them! That is what I am saying only: Remind everyone what is their mission.ŗ That is my mission also, I am on that mission.
It is a holy month and your mission now is to keep the special Orders, that this holy month is specialized by fasting and praying. We are asking and saying to you: Keep your Lords Orders and fast, keep your Lords Order and make Sajdah! Keep your positions in the divine Presence not to be kicked out!
O people, come to reality and accept it! You must accept reality. People are running away from reality, because they are drunk. Leave to be drunk, come and accept truth!
What is truth? Truth only with true ones you can find. You are not asking jewels from a grocery shop. No, a grocery shop is never selling jewels. You can ask tomatoes, potatoes and cabbage… Truth, they are most precious things on earth; you are going to ask it from grocery shop? No, truth has been granted to the Prophet Ŕ sallAllahu ´alayhi wa sallam Ŕ and the last one, the Seal of Prophets, the honour of all creation, Sayyidina Muhammad Ŕ sallAllahu ´alayhi wa sallam Ŕ , he had been granted all the treasures on earth and Heavens! He had, and then, after him, who is on his steps: they are only true ones.
Once the son of Sayyidina Omar, Allah bless him, Sayyidina Abdullah, he was on his way to Hijaz, Mekka Mukarrama, with a caravan. They were moving and reached to a place where the way was going like this. The camels went on their way. There was something like a diversion and Sayyidina Abdullah, the son of Sayyidina Omar, was going like this and coming like that, then going on. The people of the caravan said to him: ŖO Sayyidina ibn Omar, why you are following this way and leaving that caravans way here?ŗ He said: ŖI was with the Prophet Ŕ sallAllahu ´alayhi wa sallam Ŕ on this way and when he came here, he came in such a way, turning like this and making his way in such a way. Therefore I like to follow his steps.ŗ And really, where the Prophet had put his steps yet that Nur is getting up, but people are blind. They are not looking and seeing that Nur. Sayyidina ibn Omar said only this, but he saw where the Prophet put his steps, there was coming light.
_They_ are true ones! If you are asking truth, you must ask from those people! You canřt find it easily- as rubies, diamonds, pearls, you canřt find them easily. Such people are not easy to be found. You must look and try to find them. It is difficult, but who is asking, is going to find. Therefore- truth you may find through true ones. Ask, and you can find. If you can find it, you have been saved.
May Allah forgive me and bless you and make us to keep His holy Orders and to be on our real mission to be happy here and Hereafter, to be blessed ones! For the honour of the most honoured one in His divine Presence, Sayyidina Muhammad Ŕ sallAllahu ´alayhi wa sallam Ŕ , Fatiha.
Sohbet-266 Sohbet for Ramadan, Schleiden 1999 The untold pleasures of fasting people Destur ya Sayyidi! Meded, ya Sultanu-l Awliya! Audhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim, Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, la haula wa la quwatta illa bi-llahi-l 'Aliyu-l 'Azim.
I am trying not to live for myself, but I like to live only for Him, Allah Almighty. And that is the highest target to be asked for servants: not to be servant of ’myself’, but to be servant for Allah Almighty. That is the highest level of humanity. But it is so difficult by practising, and therefore I am asking forgiveness from Allah Almighty that a lot of times alot of energy I am spending for myself and it must be spent for the sake of Allah Almighty.
Now it is holy month and we can be able to make this holy month wholly for Allah Almighty, because the whole day we are fasting. Even we are going, coming, doing so many things, but really we are occupied by fasting whole day for Allah Almighty. And we are opening our fasting, making break-fast, according to His order: He ordered to fast and to keep fasting, and then, when the time is over, to open your fasting. And then we are coming with a full pleasure! When we are breaking our fasting, we are being filled with a pleasure that only fasting people may feel, no any other person can taste that sweet pleasure through himself! Those who are eating 24 hours, not fasting, they never reach that sweet feeling, that sweet taste. Allah Almighty is promising as the Prophet sws is saying: “(There are) two kinds of pleasure for a fasting people. One of them is at the time when they are preparing themselves to break their fasting; they have been granted such a feeling through their feelings, such a tasteful sweetness, an enjoyment that kings, queens, richest ones never reach to.
And the second pleasure Allah Almighty is keeping for the Last Day, for Judgment Day. If He was going to open that pleasure through this life, no one could carry it- he may pass away. Finished- he can’t be able to do anything from this life, he should run until reaching to his Lord! Therefore, because Dunya can’t carry that pleasure, Allah is keeping it for the Judgement Day, when His servants are meeting their Lord. That time it will be a secret unknown pleasure and a reward that Allah Almighty is never granting for any other kind of worshipping. It is only for fasting people, as through this life no one is tasting that kind of pleasure at the time of breaking the fast (except those who are fasting). In Akhirat, on the Last Day, on Judgment Day, when the servants are reaching to divinely Presence of their Lord Almighty Allah, that time He should grant them to taste that kind of pleasure and they should reach to a level that no one can be able to say anything on it, not even Prophets. Now you can’t see it, not even Prophets, no one has tasted it yet-, until Allah Almighty is making them to taste.
O believers, keep fasting! It is the highest honour for servants. Try to be a good servant, keep His divinely Orders! O servants, keep your Lords divinely service! Allah Almighty likes fasting servants, because these servants are going or trying to be like their Lords conditions. He is not eating and drinking- there is nothing from mankinds characteristics with Allah Almighty! Allah Almighty, the Lord of Heavens- it is impossible for Him to have characteristics from His servants. How- Sultan going to have characteristics of servants? How? What is that foolishness! You are accepting that a servant may have characteristics of Allah Almighty or Sultan?
The whole Christian world is on such nonsense point. More than this- they are crucifying their Lord. And they are living now in the 21st century; 2OOo years they never changed!
If a Sultan grants to His servant something, it may be acceptable. But if a Sultan is making His servant to be in a condition that it should be a blame for the Sultan himself, it is not a good note for Sultan. And, more than servant, what do you think, if a Sultan is making His own son
to be in such a way, to be down, under devils! This never going to happen! And yet they are asking people to believe that a person, who- according to their believes- was crucified, may save mankind! Up today they are insisting- but even their egos are not accepting this! Not only their souls, but their egos fed up, and they are ashaming to come in front of crowded people and to say: “O people, that person that you are seeing here on the cross, a dead person, is going to save you here and Hereafter.― And they have no evidence to make people to accept that idea. Leave that…
We are coming to speak on the point why Allah Almighty likes fasting people? Fasting people by fasting they like to make themselves closer to their Lord. Without eating and drinking and touching to ladies orladies touching men…women also touching men… It is a very powerful desire from our soul, asking to reach to Allah Almightys Malakut, divinely Presence.
Only through the way of fasting, does the servant find a way for his soul or her soul, to reach to the divinely Presence, because eating and drinking going to be thick veils, and anytime that you are fasting that veils are going to be thinner, thinner, and thinner.
According to our traditional knowledge when Musa a.s. was addressing Allah Almighty on Tur Sinai, there were 7o.ooo veils (between them). When the Ummah of Muhammad sws is fasting and reaching the time of breaking their fast, these veils are taken away, only one (remains)! So close (they are to the divine Presence)! And that veil, it is not going to be opened on earth. This world can’t carry!
We were saying before that fasting people should reach endless pleasure on the Day of Resurrection, on Judgment Day, (because) that veil that time it is going to open. Then their souls, like a drop from clouds coming down into the ocean, are finding themselves in that Unity Ocean of Allah Almightys, endless Beauty Oceans, and endless pleasure (should be for them). You can’t be able to give any explanation, you can’t bring any opening on that position! If such a person were on earth- this earth was going to burn…
Therefore- try to keep Rabita, the connection, between you and your Lord- you should be happy! Live for Him only, not for your ego, and through this holy month you may do this as much as possible. Day and night you may occupy your ego only for His divinely Service. Therefore it is a most important month and the mu’mins, the believers, are crying when Ramadan is leaving. It is only counted days…
...Your spirituality is taught by Grandsheikh and in our meeting there is always spirituality. This you don’t find in any other mosque inall of Europe…This is a divine grant and I feel at peace here and for you there is also pleasure. May Allah never take this pleasure out of your hearts…Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Aziz Allah…He is only Sultan and for the sake of His beloved one He is feeding us from His spiritual feast. Grandsheikh is there…
The order from our Grandsheikh came to speak these words to you. He
said: ‘It is a pity not to give to them, they are like little baby birds, waiting for nourishment from their mummy with open mouths’...and so we heard some words that we have not heard before…Fatiha! Sohbet-267 This is an excerpt from Mawlana's Suhba on 4 Safar 1424/ 6 April 2003
Bismillahi r-Rahmâni r-Rahîm People are running after untrustworthy people. They will lose everything. First, now, they have lost their honour. There is no more honour in the Divine Presence for mankind living on earth now in the twenty-first century, because they are running away from their Creator, from the Lord of Heavens. They will be punished and their punishment is coming now through Armageddon. What is happening now in the Middle East is just a beginning. The Middle East is the most important part of the whole world, from a spiritual as well as from a material point of view. Strategically, importance No.1 is in the Middle East. Allah Almighty made the Middle East the centre of the whole world, so no area on earth is more important than the Middle East. Through His Prophets, saints and Holy Books He sent spirituality in its entirety from Heavens to the Middle East. That is the reason for its great importance, making it the most important area on earth. Whoever controls it Ŕ every nation knows that Ŕ his power is going to control the five continents, including all the oceans. That is a reality! And it is only Allah Almighty who appoints! It is not something that is decided by money, armies or weapons. No! Whoever is going to be there will be appointed only by the Lord of Heavens. And don't say bad things, because ev

s the first one to rebel in my Divine Presence!'. Satan is the worst servant. Yes, even he is a servant, although he is the worst. He wants all of mankind to be like him: a bad servant. The Lord has sent his good servants to His servants on earth to be aware of this. I see so many notices on the church wall, but never the sign, 'Beware of satan!', even though he has been our first enemy since the beginning of creation. We are not really enemies of each other, but satan makes us. This 20th century is the worst century since the beginning of time. People are following satan more than they have ever done because they are not interested in anything belonging to Heaven. They are only interested in their enjoyments and in fulfilling their physical body's desires. That is all. This morning I was watching people running with their Samsonite briefcases. In the evening I see them running back. What are they running after? I ask them, 'Did you catch what you were running after?' The days pass, months, years and our life ends. Our Samsonite will remain and we will be carried to our graveyard. If you know that your life ends in the graveyard, why don't you consider that? Why do you cheat yourself and say that there is no God? Who is teaching you such nonsense? Religious people are disturbed by people's actions. Interfaith, the way I see it, is to join every faith, for every faith to meet each other and to find a way to save people in this life and in the next. Only that point is important for people to remember: that their life will end in the graveyard. We must find a way to remind people, otherwise their lives will be heedless. People are as if they were drunk or deaf. The more you speak, the less they will listen. If they listen, they will not hear. If they hear, they will not listen. Even if they do understand you, they will not give it any value and they will not practise the advice. That is why meetings like these are not enough. Religious people must at least be representatives of prophets and saints and they must ask each other in which way we can come all together to save people by reminding them. If the kingdom of satan is not destroyed, the Kingdom of Heavens cannot be established. We are fighting each other by the command of satan. Every day you see so much dirt on television, people are learning every kind of dirt through there, polluting the minds of young people too. From day to day, more chaos and darkness is coming. Problems, miseries and sufferings are increasing and governments are more and more shocked. They don't know what to do. They think that it is an economical
problem to be solved. But the real problem is satan. He causes the governments to look in the wrong direction. It is not an economical problem, it is something which belongs to our souls. We have lost the values of mankind. But satan does not allow them to say such things. They cannot see that this chaos into which every nation is falling into, is the result of our bad actions. Satan will not cease to push mankind into leaving all their values behind. That is the reason. Satan urges them to call it an economical crisis. But no! Economically we are on the highest level. No-one here is dying of hunger and everything in this life is arranged in a best way. Thank the Lord for that. Friends can say bitter words, enemies always speak sweet, so that you will continue to run into your disaster. We must try to come together all of us, to prevent satanic dogmas and ideas to live. We must accept Heavenly Advice to reach peace. If you want to save yourself and your surrounding, you must destroy the kingdom of satan, even in detail. You will know what is the best for you and for others, as well as knowing what is the worst. Use your mind and your will-power. That will prevent you from falling into chaos. When you are using your mind and your will-power, you will find out that mankind, no matter what nationality or religion, was created for Divine Service. Sohbet-264 Fast! Hunger Will Break the Pride of Your Ego! * London, Ramadan 1994
A´udhu biLlahi mina shaytanir-rajim Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim In the name of Allah Almighty, All-Merciful, Most Beneficient, Most Munificent
You are the Sultan, the Sultan of Sultans. You are the Great, no-one can be great, only You, our Lord. Every greatness is nothing in front of your Divine Greatness. We are nothing. In this holy month Allah Almighty grants us from his Endless Blessings and we need his Blessings. Although we are nothing, we claim to be something by giving ourselves empty titles so that we can get a value. But even if you try to give this value to yourself, it is nothing. It is useless. As long as a person wants to give himself a value, he will be cheap, cheaper, cheapest... Because as long as someoneis claiming to be something, he will be looking at his own power, his knowledge, his position, his business, his rank, his family, his race, his richness... With all this he will want to give himself a value, but in reality he is becoming cheaper and cheaper and he will fall down into the dustbin and become rubbish himself. If you try to be something, I will come and look at you when you are dying, and after death I will look to see how you are. You will probably be smelling badly! Is that your value? You, who are claiming to besuch an important one! If you really think you are so valuable, let me take you to the market of dead bodies after you have died, and then let us see how valuable you are! Yes, that is the value of all of those who are claiming to be something now. Some people put stars on their shoulders or badges.
Even children are proud when they wear lions, or wolves or foxen on their pocket. People are not using their mind and that is why they are becoming like small children. They are happy and even proud with such useless things. Pride only belongs to the Lord of Heavens. He has the right to be proud, no-one else. No-one has the right to be proud. This century is the century of pride. Everyone are proud-ones. When they are proud they will be jealous, envious, merciless and injust people. All those characteristics come from pride. Of all creatures, the first proud-one was Satan. He claimed to be proud, and all the angels kicked him down. He was kicked from the highest position to the lowest. We are fasting. We must fast, because we have been ordered to. Since the first man until today, it is a heavenly order: "O mankind, you must fast!". Fasting makes you humble. When you are full, you will be proud and it is not for you, to be proud. That is why it is the most important worshipping, to fast. The Seal of Prophets mentioned to his nation and to all nations: "For everything there is an entrance, and the entrance of worshipping is fasting. Without fasting, you cannot be a worshipper. Why? Because your ego will not let you. It will first reject, object and refuse to be a servant. Your ego will tell Allah, "Come down and I will go up!" That is how dirty the characteristics of the ego is. It is the worst creature that has ever been created, your ego. But it is so powerful. It even asks Allah Almighty to come down! It will never accept to be a servant. Try it yourself. Everyone has an ego. Do you think that your ego is an obedient servant? Isn't it always rejecting and refusing to fast and pray and to do this or that? Isn't it always asking to do wrong things? It always wants to be against the rules of heavens. It wants to be free. What is that foolishness of the people of the 20th century? They want to be free-ones! That is the claim of their egos. They do not want to be under any control or command. They want to be absolutely free. That means they are saying, "You are there, Allah Ŕ I am here!" May they be forgiven... Nothing can be more effective to put the ego down, than hunger. When Allah Almighty created the ego, He asked, "Who are you and who am I?" The ego answered, "You are you and I am I." It did not say, "You are my Lord and I am your servant!" Allah then ordered the ego to be put 1000 years into hell-fire. After that the ego was asked the same question again and it gave the same answer. It was then ordered to be put into the cold hell for another 1000 years. Again it gave the same answer. It was then ordered to be put into the valley of hunger for 1000 years Ŕ hungry. When it was brought out and asked, "Who am I and who are you?", the ego answered, "You are my Lord, my powerful Lord and I am your weak servant." It was trembling. Nothing except hunger can make the ego declare servanthood. That is why since the first man, we have been ordered to fast. It is in the Old Testament, New Testament and all other Heavenly Books. The fastings in those books are very difficult. The easiest fasting has been given to the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad, may peace be upon him. Even for his nation, fasting was difficult in the beginning. During the first few years, the companions of the prophet were only allowed to have a break of the fast between maghrib and isha. After isha they had to fast again. So they had a fast of 22 hours. Then
Allah Almighty made it easier for the nation. We can eat and drink and enjoy all night until dawn. Even if it is the easiest fasting, many people are not observing it. But it is the best treatment for our physical being and also the best treatment for our egos. It is also the best treatment for our souls, to enable them to go up to the Heavens. While you are fasting, your soul is asking to reach higher levels in the heavens. Try to keep this rule of fasting as much as possible. If you are new and you haven't been fasting before, try to fast, make the intention. That is the most important factor of obediency and worshipping. Allah Almighty will not accept any worship without the intention. You must intend to do a worshipping for the pleasure of Allah Almighty, intending to follow his Holy Command. If not, it is not a worshipping. Use your intention! "I am praying for the pleasure of my Lord! I am fasting to follow his Holy Command and to make him happy and pleased with me." Every action that a believer wants to do, should be done in the rememberance of Allah, to make Him pleased with us. If you want to do anything, and you know it is going to make Him pleased, then do it! If not, then don't do it, beware! Some punishment can come to you sooner or later. Don't be cheated, if the Lord Almighty Allah gives you your punishment later, it doesn't mean that He is not punishing. No! Don't be cheated if He is delaying His punishment. It only means that He is waiting to see if you are repenting, or not. He wants all His servants to ask for pardon. When you intend, you will find the capacity to fast, to complete your fast. If you are a beginner and you do not reach that point, even though you have intended, and on the first day of fasting you realise at noon time that you cannot continue, then break your fast. Try the second day. You can then improve and add another hour, and so on you add one more every day. By the middle of Ramadan you will be able to complete your day. That is a way, step by step to reach our target. Don't say that you can't, and don't be too strict. Even our children are not too keen on worshipping. Teach them step by step. And with new Muslims be tolerant, o Muslims! Don't say anyone it is impossible. It is only a question of training.

Sohbet-265 Sohbet from the 9th of Oktober, 2oo5 , the 7th of Ramadan
Maulana Sheikh Nazimřs first Sohbet after his return from Syria and Libanon
Mankind‟ s mission and honour: to act on behalf of their Lord
A´udhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim, Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, la haula wa la quwatta illa bi-llahi-l řAliyu-l řAzim.
As-salamu alaikum! Meded, ya Sultanu-l Anbiya, Meded, ya Sultanu-l Awliya, Meded, ya Sahibu Zaman, ya Sultanana, Meded!
We are in a holy month. It is the holiest month through the year: Shahru Ramadan, Ramadan Mubarak. We are thanking Allah Almighty, saying: ŖYa Rabbi, laka-l hamd wa shukr, that You are making us to reach to this holy month again. So many people were with us last year, but this year they are not- taken away.ŗ Kulli shay yarju ila aslihi- everything is going to come back to its own personality or origin. Everything must come back, that is an unchangeable wisdom and Allah Almightyřs Order.
There is a saying: Everything on earth is earth: kulli shay řala turab turabun. This is Dunya, the world; you are looking and seeing so many things over it: plants, animals and mankind, and you are saying: ŖThis is a tree, that is an animal, that is a man- how you are saying everything on this planet, what is from it, is going to be as before? As before- nothing on this world.ŗ
And the Creator He arranged this world; among so many, hundreds, thousands, millions and billions of stars and galaxies- He chose this planet to be our homeland. He prepared it and then landed Sayyidina Adam (on it), because he was appointed and granted from the Lord of Heavens to be on this land Calipha, our Lordřs deputy. Therefore He prepared this land and finally sent His Calipha. Yes, Sayyidina Adam was created in Paradise and he was there, but Allah Almighty was saying to the Angels: ŖI am going to bring in creation a new creature that he should be My deputy.ŗ When Allah Almighty said this, the Angels said: ŖO our Lord, why You are creating a deputy, a new creature, that they are going to do so many things on earth that You are not happy with that actions from that new creature?ŗ Allah Almighty said: ŖI know! What you know, I know, you donřt know! You know that point from that new creature: that they should be trouble-makers, fighters, killing and destroying, and doing so many disliked things, but yet I know about them more than you, because I am Ŗ Řala yařlamu ma khalaqŗ, the One who knows what He created. I am the Creator, keep your Adab, I know what Ijust created! You know this, but I know something elseŗ, Allah Almighty was saying.
And they were there, in Paradise, and the earth was here. Sayyidina Adam was appointed to be on earth Calipha, Caliphatullah, deputy of Allah Almighty. And when Allah Almighty prepared reasons that it should be, it was going to be a way or wasila to come on earth, to be landed. Therefore so many things happened and finally Adam and Eve had been landed on earth. They came here to be king on earth, to make everything for His Honour, to act on earth on behalf of Allah Almighty. That is your mission: Everyone just granted that honour that they must do everything on behalf of their Lord Allah Almighty!
What you are thinking? Mankind- where they are now? Mankind now knowing their mission? No, no one is knowing, no one is saying this point, no one is saying that: ŖOur mission is to act on behalf of Creator, our Lord Allah Almighty.ŗ Where are governments, where are our leaders? Our universities, our teachers, schools- where they are, what they are teaching? It should be the first point to be taught to our small ones: for what they have been created and by whom. They are teaching this? No!
I was in New York, about ten years ago, and they took me to the UN center. There was (a sign showing) a pistol, perhaps bigger than me, and a handkerchief tied on it. That means: they are stopping pistols, tying, so that no more wars on earth. O drunk people! If it is written for them that fighting- you can stop it?
I was entering, looking around, and I was praying Dhuhr. But some of our brothers, including Raja Ashman- Allah bless him also-, one group was coming later and they were asking me if they can pray here. I said to them: ŖOkay; yes, you can do. What is the matter? A free place, go and pray.ŗ They were beginning and (suddenly there was) coming (someone) like a North Pole bear, running and shouting: ŖYou canřt pray here, because from this entrance Allah is never getting in!ŗ Coming (like him) such five or seven bears, running and saying: ŖYou canřt pray here! No Allah here!ŗ
I am witness! I am saying: ŖO my Lord, make this Dunya to fall on them!ŗ You think they are doing anything for the benefit of mankind (there)? Never! But always doing for the benefit of Shaitan. Perhaps two hundred or more governments are (represented) there, nations, coming, including our heedless (gafil) Muslim countries- they are also coming and attending there. I am very angry with them that they are going into such a place that is against their Lord! No respect, not saying: ŖBismillahir Rahmanir Rahimŗ, shouting, quarrelling. Therefore no any good result. That is center of Shaitans, center of Diabolo, Sadanas! For the sake of Sadanas they are going there. And I am making this (prayer) on them, I am coming back. Not getting in, but getting out, not to come on us that building… Perhaps one day coming…Instead to be destroyed that two buildings- but Satan keeping its center- _that_ center must be destroyed! But I hope…mankind not doing this- from another world they should send on them (something) to be all of them down! And I am making two Rakaat Shukr- all under, shouting like Karun!
After an eclipse there is (always) some slap…2-3 seconds and 1oo.ooo people under ruins now…After an eclipse _must_ be something…and also war is coming! Mankind now is never going to find the days to be in the ways that passed. Now like the leaves that are coming yellow and falling down, they should fall down, one after another.
They are not teaching… No Allah? No God? Allah should show them if He is the Creator, Lord, or not! Our mission is to act on behalf of our Lord on this planet, nothing else! Anyone saying this from Archbishops, from Rabbis, from Hindus, Buddhists? Who can object on my point, that I am saying? Mankindřs mission on earth is to act on behalf of the Lord or this world is going to be destroyed- from East to West, from North to South. Finished! Stamped!... X.! You understand or sleeping?...
Allah Almighty was saying to the Prophet: ŖYou are Only Mudhakkir; you must remind My people on earth, because they are forgetting. Remind them! That is what I am saying only: Remind everyone what is their mission.ŗ That is my mission also, I am on that mission.
It is a holy month and your mission now is to keep the special Orders, that this holy month is specialized by fasting and praying. We are asking and saying to you: Keep your Lords Orders and fast, keep your Lords Order and make Sajdah! Keep your positions in the divine Presence not to be kicked out!
O people, come to reality and accept it! You must accept reality. People are running away from reality, because they are drunk. Leave to be drunk, come and accept truth!
What is truth? Truth only with true ones you can find. You are not asking jewels from a grocery shop. No, a grocery shop is never selling jewels. You can ask tomatoes, potatoes and cabbage… Truth, they are most precious things on earth; you are going to ask it from grocery shop? No, truth has been granted to the Prophet Ŕ sallAllahu ´alayhi wa sallam Ŕ and the last one, the Seal of Prophets, the honour of all creation, Sayyidina Muhammad Ŕ sallAllahu ´alayhi wa sallam Ŕ , he had been granted all the treasures on earth and Heavens! He had, and then, after him, who is on his steps: they are only true ones.
Once the son of Sayyidina Omar, Allah bless him, Sayyidina Abdullah, he was on his way to Hijaz, Mekka Mukarrama, with a caravan. They were moving and reached to a place where the way was going like this. The camels went on their way. There was something like a diversion and Sayyidina Abdullah, the son of Sayyidina Omar, was going like this and coming like that, then going on. The people of the caravan said to him: ŖO Sayyidina ibn Omar, why you are following this way and leaving that caravans way here?ŗ He said: ŖI was with the Prophet Ŕ sallAllahu ´alayhi wa sallam Ŕ on this way and when he came here, he came in such a way, turning like this and making his way in such a way. Therefore I like to follow his steps.ŗ And really, where the Prophet had put his steps yet that Nur is getting up, but people are blind. They are not looking and seeing that Nur. Sayyidina ibn Omar said only this, but he saw where the Prophet put his steps, there was coming light.
_They_ are true ones! If you are asking truth, you must ask from those people! You canřt find it easily- as rubies, diamonds, pearls, you canřt find them easily. Such people are not easy to be found. You must look and try to find them. It is difficult, but who is asking, is going to find. Therefore- truth you may find through true ones. Ask, and you can find. If you can find it, you have been saved.
May Allah forgive me and bless you and make us to keep His holy Orders and to be on our real mission to be happy here and Hereafter, to be blessed ones! For the honour of the most honoured one in His divine Presence, Sayyidina Muhammad Ŕ sallAllahu ´alayhi wa sallam Ŕ , Fatiha.
Sohbet-266 Sohbet for Ramadan, Schleiden 1999 The untold pleasures of fasting people Destur ya Sayyidi! Meded, ya Sultanu-l Awliya! Audhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim, Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, la haula wa la quwatta illa bi-llahi-l 'Aliyu-l 'Azim.
I am trying not to live for myself, but I like to live only for Him, Allah Almighty. And that is the highest target to be asked for servants: not to be servant of ’myself’, but to be servant for Allah Almighty. That is the highest level of humanity. But it is so difficult by practising, and therefore I am asking forgiveness from Allah Almighty that a lot of times alot of energy I am spending for myself and it must be spent for the sake of Allah Almighty.
Now it is holy month and we can be able to make this holy month wholly for Allah Almighty, because the whole day we are fasting. Even we are going, coming, doing so many things, but really we are occupied by fasting whole day for Allah Almighty. And we are opening our fasting, making break-fast, according to His order: He ordered to fast and to keep fasting, and then, when the time is over, to open your fasting. And then we are coming with a full pleasure! When we are breaking our fasting, we are being filled with a pleasure that only fasting people may feel, no any other person can taste that sweet pleasure through himself! Those who are eating 24 hours, not fasting, they never reach that sweet feeling, that sweet taste. Allah Almighty is promising as the Prophet sws is saying: “(There are) two kinds of pleasure for a fasting people. One of them is at the time when they are preparing themselves to break their fasting; they have been granted such a feeling through their feelings, such a tasteful sweetness, an enjoyment that kings, queens, richest ones never reach to.
And the second pleasure Allah Almighty is keeping for the Last Day, for Judgment Day. If He was going to open that pleasure through this life, no one could carry it- he may pass away. Finished- he can’t be able to do anything from this life, he should run until reaching to his Lord! Therefore, because Dunya can’t carry that pleasure, Allah is keeping it for the Judgement Day, when His servants are meeting their Lord. That time it will be a secret unknown pleasure and a reward that Allah Almighty is never granting for any other kind of worshipping. It is only for fasting people, as through this life no one is tasting that kind of pleasure at the time of breaking the fast (except those who are fasting). In Akhirat, on the Last Day, on Judgment Day, when the servants are reaching to divinely Presence of their Lord Almighty Allah, that time He should grant them to taste that kind of pleasure and they should reach to a level that no one can be able to say anything on it, not even Prophets. Now you can’t see it, not even Prophets, no one has tasted it yet-, until Allah Almighty is making them to taste.
O believers, keep fasting! It is the highest honour for servants. Try to be a good servant, keep His divinely Orders! O servants, keep your Lords divinely service! Allah Almighty likes fasting servants, because these servants are going or trying to be like their Lords conditions. He is not eating and drinking- there is nothing from mankinds characteristics with Allah Almighty! Allah Almighty, the Lord of Heavens- it is impossible for Him to have characteristics from His servants. How- Sultan going to have characteristics of servants? How? What is that foolishness! You are accepting that a servant may have characteristics of Allah Almighty or Sultan?
The whole Christian world is on such nonsense point. More than this- they are crucifying their Lord. And they are living now in the 21st century; 2OOo years they never changed!
If a Sultan grants to His servant something, it may be acceptable. But if a Sultan is making His servant to be in a condition that it should be a blame for the Sultan himself, it is not a good note for Sultan. And, more than servant, what do you think, if a Sultan is making His own son
to be in such a way, to be down, under devils! This never going to happen! And yet they are asking people to believe that a person, who- according to their believes- was crucified, may save mankind! Up today they are insisting- but even their egos are not accepting this! Not only their souls, but their egos fed up, and they are ashaming to come in front of crowded people and to say: “O people, that person that you are seeing here on the cross, a dead person, is going to save you here and Hereafter.― And they have no evidence to make people to accept that idea. Leave that…
We are coming to speak on the point why Allah Almighty likes fasting people? Fasting people by fasting they like to make themselves closer to their Lord. Without eating and drinking and touching to ladies orladies touching men…women also touching men… It is a very powerful desire from our soul, asking to reach to Allah Almightys Malakut, divinely Presence.
Only through the way of fasting, does the servant find a way for his soul or her soul, to reach to the divinely Presence, because eating and drinking going to be thick veils, and anytime that you are fasting that veils are going to be thinner, thinner, and thinner.
According to our traditional knowledge when Musa a.s. was addressing Allah Almighty on Tur Sinai, there were 7o.ooo veils (between them). When the Ummah of Muhammad sws is fasting and reaching the time of breaking their fast, these veils are taken away, only one (remains)! So close (they are to the divine Presence)! And that veil, it is not going to be opened on earth. This world can’t carry!
We were saying before that fasting people should reach endless pleasure on the Day of Resurrection, on Judgment Day, (because) that veil that time it is going to open. Then their souls, like a drop from clouds coming down into the ocean, are finding themselves in that Unity Ocean of Allah Almightys, endless Beauty Oceans, and endless pleasure (should be for them). You can’t be able to give any explanation, you can’t bring any opening on that position! If such a person were on earth- this earth was going to burn…
Therefore- try to keep Rabita, the connection, between you and your Lord- you should be happy! Live for Him only, not for your ego, and through this holy month you may do this as much as possible. Day and night you may occupy your ego only for His divinely Service. Therefore it is a most important month and the mu’mins, the believers, are crying when Ramadan is leaving. It is only counted days…
...Your spirituality is taught by Grandsheikh and in our meeting there is always spirituality. This you don’t find in any other mosque inall of Europe…This is a divine grant and I feel at peace here and for you there is also pleasure. May Allah never take this pleasure out of your hearts…Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Aziz Allah…He is only Sultan and for the sake of His beloved one He is feeding us from His spiritual feast. Grandsheikh is there…
The order from our Grandsheikh came to speak these words to you. He
said: ‘It is a pity not to give to them, they are like little baby birds, waiting for nourishment from their mummy with open mouths’...and so we heard some words that we have not heard before…Fatiha! Sohbet-267 This is an excerpt from Mawlana's Suhba on 4 Safar 1424/ 6 April 2003
Bismillahi r-Rahmâni r-Rahîm People are running after untrustworthy people. They will lose everything. First, now, they have lost their honour. There is no more honour in the Divine Presence for mankind living on earth now in the twenty-first century, because they are running away from their Creator, from the Lord of Heavens. They will be punished and their punishment is coming now through Armageddon. What is happening now in the Middle East is just a beginning. The Middle East is the most important part of the whole world, from a spiritual as well as from a material point of view. Strategically, importance No.1 is in the Middle East. Allah Almighty made the Middle East the centre of the whole world, so no area on earth is more important than the Middle East. Through His Prophets, saints and Holy Books He sent spirituality in its entirety from Heavens to the Middle East. That is the reason for its great importance, making it the most important area on earth. Whoever controls it Ŕ every nation knows that Ŕ his power is going to control the five continents, including all the oceans. That is a reality! And it is only Allah Almighty who appoints! It is not something that is decided by money, armies or weapons. No! Whoever is going to be there will be appointed only by the Lord of Heavens. And don't say bad things, because ev
