Ask to be Closer to Allah
Shukr, ya Rabbi, Shukr, ya Rabbi, Shukr, Alhamdulillah, Tauba, ya Rabbi, Tauba, ya Rabbi, Tauba, Astaghfirullah...

This is a new association with Sheikh which makes our friends or our followers improve; and improvement means to be closer to the Divine Presence. This is what we are asking. Only no-mind people are asking to be closer to Dunya, and no one is going to take any benefit from that. But those who are asking to be closer to Maula, Allah Almighty, are reaching what they are asking for from His goodness and blessings.
This is a humble meeting. What we are saying is going to be easily understood. You must ask from Allah Almighty to be closer to His Divine Presence. No matter how close you get to Dunya and its treasures, one day you are going to be far away from them- finally you are going to finish. And even if you carry all the keys to those treasures with you, you are not going to look at them. And if they bring the most beautiful lady to you, you are not going to look at her.
This means that when you are going to get ready to leave this life and to go back to where you just came from, you are never going to look or to ask for those treasures of Dunya that you were trying and working so hard to reach. You are going to forget them.
Therefore every Prophet and every Saint, particularly Sufi Orders, and among them the most distinguished Naqshbandi Order, are asking to make you run to your Lord and to get closer to Him, even if only by one foot. If you get the chance to come even one foot closer, you must take it. This is the main teaching of the Naqshbandi Order: to make people try and come closer to their Maula, the Lord of the Heavens.
71Bridge to Eternity When the physical body is becoming weaker and you are losing your physical senses, your spiritual being is becoming much more powerful, asking to be closer and to reach to the Divine Presence. But now people are heedless, out of balance. There is a scale: on one side you have a pearl or diamond, and on the other dung, dirt from animals... And people leave the diamond and run to take the dirt. That is heedlessness. Why are you trying to reach so much from Dunya, and you are not asking to be closer to the Divine Presence and to take much more from there? They have no balance, people have just lost their balance...
Anyone who prefers his temporary life, leaving permanent blessings, is a no-mind person. Therefore Allah Almighty says that these people are like animals. Not only like animals, but below animals. What is your judgement on a person who choses this temporary life and its pleasures instead of permanent life and its enjoyments? It means that he has no mind. He is like an animal. And Allah Almighty even says: “Their level is under the level of animals”...
We don’t know which day is going to be our last day. And it is enough for a person to know that for everyone there is going to be a last day in Dunya. On that day you are going to leave everything that you collected from the beginning up until that day, and you are getting out. As a person loading a huge lorry, putting everything on it, and driving to the border. And there is ‘Qaf’, a stop sign, and the guards come and say:” From here onwards only you may pass.” He may say: “What about my lorry?” But the guards say: “There is no possibility for your lorry to move forward, no. You must come down and pass through. Leave everything there and you come...”
How did you come to this world? You came naked from your mother’s womb, and quickly they covered your naked body with something from Dunya, wrapping you up in clothes. When you are leaving, the guards of the border between Dunya and Akhirah should say to you: “Leave everything there and you come...” And you are coming with your white clothes only. You must leave everything there, and you should look: “Oh... Ah...- how can | bring this lorry? What | did? My whole life | was running, | didn’t rest or sleep, | gathered so many things and now they say that | can’t take it... How can | come without them?” But the guards should say: “Come, come, it is finished. These things are for those people in that area. You can’t bring them to this area.”
Ya Latifu, lam tazzal... The last day is already appointed. Everyone has an appointment with the postman, the Angel of Death, who takes your soul to its Lord. He is looking in his diary, to see with whom his appointment is. When your name is appearing, your appointment with him should be on that day, in such and such a place, at such and such a time. And he is coming quickly... carrying a big, big book, in which is written the appointments for all mankind. He is looking and saying: “Now | am coming to you, it is our appointment.” “How? | don’t know about this appointment, | thought there was some more time.” “No, it is written here. | am not coming one hour before or one hour after, | am so punctual, | come on time. It is finished, | am taking you now.” “What about my Dunya, my lorry, so many things, what | shall do?” “Leave that and you come alone...”
Oh people, who is closer to Allah Almighty, will be dressed in heavenly dressings, to be taken to the Divine Presence of the Lord, Allah Almighty. But those who didn’t prepare themselves for that heavenly dress should be taken away- they can’t be taken to their Lord’s Divine Presence. Everyone is waiting for their last day, looking for their last moment, their
8IBridge to Eternity journey from this temporary life to a permanent life. Oh people, take much more care for your eternal life... Try to be welcomed in a good way at the last moment when you are leaving this life... May Allah bless you and forgive us... Fatiha.

“Coming from Allah and Going to Allah...”
“Shukr, ya Rabbi, Shukr, ya Rabbi, Shukr, Alhamdulillah, Tauba, ya Rabbi, Tauba, ya Rabbi, Tauba, Astaghfirullah...” (Shukr and Alhamdulillah open the gates of Paradise, Tauba and Astaghfirullah close the gates of Hell.)
Tariqatuna as-sohbet wa khairu fi jamiat... These are the words of Shah-u-Naqshbandi, may Allah give him much more honour. He was, and still is, guiding the Ummat-i-Muhammadi sws to Allah Almighty. We are coming from the Heavens, from Allah, we are touching this planet, and then we are returning to Him. Nothing else...
When we touch this planet on our way, it is going to be perhaps for one hundred years, or eighty, forty, or maybe just eight years. The period of our lives is going to be different. Countless events are happening in Dunya, and so many things we are interested in which we give all our power to- and they are all Batil... Allah Almighty is saying in His Holy Quran: “Inna Ii’llahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un...We are coming from Allah and we are going to Allah...” And that is Haqq, the real truth.
The people of this century never take any interest to find out from where they are coming, and to where they are going. Their only interest is Dunya, what they are touching in this life up to until they leave. They think that sixty or seventy years is a lot. And they think that they may enjoy themselves throughout this short life-time... sixty, seventy years, or more or less... ninety and one hundred year old people are so difficult to find...
Where were you before you came to this life? You were in Allah Almighty’s Divine Presence. You are coming from Him- coming a long way.... You have forgotten it. What makes you to forget? It is that you are not believing. If you were believing, you would have to take an interest in yourself and ask: “What happened, and what is going to happen?” But people never use their mind... Their interest is only in that short time that they are living in.
And everything in this life is directed in such a way that man is never going to take an interest in his spiritual being and his spiritual life. Everything that has happened, or is happening now and is going to happen is only making you not take any interest in your original source, not to ask from where you are coming. And this is big trouble for mankind...
You see running water, and you are asking: ”From where is this river coming? Is it pure or not?” For water you ask. But for yourself, although you are running day after day like rivers, you are not interested to ask: “Where | am coming from? Where am | going to?” The answer is just as we said: ‘Coming from Allah, and going to Allah’...
Our time is very short and full of interests which never leave you to look after anything from your eternal life- and eternal life is to be with Allah Almighty. He is the Eternal One, and if His servant is asking for eternity, then He dresses him with such lights, with such powers, that his interests are going to change step by step. Then you finally reach a point that you understand where you are coming from and where you are going to. There is a plan. On it is written: ‘From Allah Almighty’. And on another plan is written: ‘To Allah Almighty’...
10|Bridge to Eternity You must try to be for Allah. You must try to force your ego to live for Allah and to learn that you are coming from Allah and going to Him: “My interest is never in you for this life. My interest is only in my Lord. | came and stepped on this planet, and after a while my feet are taken from this earth and directed towards some _ directions... perhaps unknown directions... perhaps somewhere where there is no more directions...”
Oh people, he who is going opposite to Allah’s calling is going in the wrong direction. That is why a punishment comes on a person, who understands this, but doesn’t keep it. You must understand, in this short life, everything that has happened, what is happening and what will happen forever. Be careful what you do here, what you plant here, so that you should be powerful, and full of enjoyment and satisfaction.
Oh people, try to make your ego say that we are coming from Allah Almighty, and we are changing crew, taking new fuel, and then leaving towards the Heavens in our space ships. Everyone has a vessel, like the Ark which was granted to Sayyidina Nuh a.s.... You may enter it and go freely to your Lord’s Divine Presence...
May Allah forgive us and make us understand. It is so clear- to come from Allah and to go to Allah. Oh people, live for Allah, do for Allah, go to Allah, be for Allah... Fatiha.
Our Last Destination is the Divine Presence
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim... This is a new association with our GrandShaykh even though it is late... Sleep is Sultan, nobody can resist it; but it is Rahmah, a blessing, also... What shall we do? We must try to translate something to you. It is as necessary for you as food. You are in need of food for your physical body. You must cook and eat what Allah Almighty
created for your physical being. But for your soul you are in need of spirituality, spiritual food.
Now all religions, except Islam, never give anything to their followers, they are finished. This bottle here, if it is full, you may give something from it, but when it is finished, what can you give? Christianity finished many years ago, but they have been trying to do something, to make people interested. They were using so many nonsense, useless and foolish ways for youngsters, knowing very well what our physical being is interested in: Eating and drinking, and running to fulfil the wishes and demands of the ego. The ego is only interested in reaching its own targets...
People living now are only running after their physical body’s interests. Perhaps you may find one out of ten thousand, or fifty thousand, or one hundred thousand people, who may have an interest in spirituality. And the most high spirituality, which is never decreasing, you can only find through Islam. What Allah Almighty granted to Musa a.s. and Isa a.s., was something to be given in a limited place and time to their followers. Christianity, from the beginning, tried to give people what they needed for their spiritual life, but day by day its spirituality went down for the sake of the Seal of Prophets, who would bring perfection, a perfect target for people. Islam came for that purpose. And therefore Jesus Christ was saying: “| am your Lord’s servant, nothing else, and that is my honour.”
11I1Bridge to Eternity Can an ant understand who Man is? Never. Even if it lived for one million years. And as much as man may ask for more wisdom and more from his Lord’s Divine Knowledge, what he can take from it is always going to be small. This is because limited things, even they may appear big in our eyes, are always going to be nothing in the Divine Oceans of Greatness... But people are so crazy, so mad, such foolish idiots, asking to know who Allah is, or how Allah is, or where Allah is... Ya Hu!
Where is Italy? Where is Germany? Where is America? Where is Malaysia? Show me! And you are saying: “I can’t show you from here now, but come with me on a plane, and we shall fly and | shall show you my homeland.” Oh donkey, if you are only asking about Malaysia, and you are in need to take a plane and fly fifteen hours to land there, and then still you don’t know it... Why or how you can say: “Show me Allah”? And | am saying: “Show me beyond these skies. Show me the beginning of space, its limits, where it ends- then | shall show you beyond that. You need thirteen, fourteen or fifteen hours to travel to Malaysia... How many years, or centuries, or billions of years must you fly to find the last point of space? And then | shall show you where the Lord is, where His state is, Alem Jabarut... Alem Malakut, Alem Jabarut, Alem Lahut... Then | shall say. But people in their ignorance are asking: “Where is Allah?” He created the where. How can you ask ‘where’? He created the time. How can you ask ‘how old is He’?
And | am asking: “How old is our galaxy?” So many billions of galaxies are running... | am saying: “Ride on one of them, they are all running to their Lord’s Divine Presence. Take any one of them, all of them are running in the same direction. Not one galaxy is going in the opposite direction. There are no accidents in the heavenly traffic! Take one, and then you may reach with it to the Divine Presence. What is your payment? You must pay, as a ticket, for riding on any galaxy with your physical body. You must give it as a payment. You can ride any galaxy if you are paying. Give your physical body to them, then every galaxy may take you free... Saluting you, taking you to the Divine Presence. Where is the Divine Presence? Only Allah, the Owner of the galaxies, may say: “This is the last station for this galaxy. Now it has arrived. | am here!”
Good news for those who can pay the ticket-money. Any galaxy may accept you and you may continue on it. Then the Lord of Heavens says: “Stop, this is your last destination. | am here. Come to Me...” Allahu akbar... He is taking away the Hijab-ul-’Azamat, the Veil of Greatness. Supreme Greatness is for Allah Almighty. These veils open and He says: “I am here...” Everywhere... Allah, the most High, most Great... Allah, the Knowing, the most Powerful... Everything is in its perfection for Him Almighty...
You must understand, it is from eternity to eternity... And when the angels ask you: “Where you are asking to reach?” you must say: “I am moving towards eternity.” “Then come, who is asking for eternity, may come.” Who is asking for anything else, the ticket-collector will kick him off: “ Go. This is only for those who are asking eternity, go away.”
Ask Perfection from a Perfect One Now we are in this temporary life. Tomorrow, next week, next month, next year or next century we are going to leave. We must leave this life and move from this world to another
world, which is only described to us by the Prophets. No one may open the veils from the
12| Bridge to Eternity coming days, and no one can know what will happen after tomorrow in the endless future. Only He Who created you, mankind, may know what is going to happen in the future, and He is the Only One who can remove the veils.
He is the Creator of the coming days and the Designer of every day’s program. Don’t think that any day may come by itself without a program, no. Every day must come by His Will, and everything, which is coming into existence, which will appear tomorrow, is programmed by Him with all the details, not only with the headlines.
Yourself and every creature, everything, is representing our Creator’s endless power, His endless perfection. It begins with the smallest representative of creatures, which is less than an atom, then continues to the atomic world, the solid world, the plant world, the animal world, the human nature world, mountains, oceans, the earth, stars, galaxies... Everything shows Allah's perfection, and He puts perfection in everything, never leaving any imperfection in any creature in any of these worlds.
And there is a perfect connection between everything, from the smallest unit in the atomic world, to the gigantic star systems in the world of the galaxies. Nothing and no one can be by itself, by himself. By that connection everything in existence knows its Creator. This is a common connection between everything in existence, that they know, or must know, their Creator- heavenly beings, earthly beings, the smallest creatures up to huge, gigantic galaxies. None among the countless creatures is going to deny the existence of their Creator. Only fully foolish, drunk people from mankind.
And the second common connection among everything in existence is that all creatures give their most high and endless respect to their Lord, which is their glorification. Everything must glorify! They are saying that some things are not alive, but everything in existence has a life, and everything is alive with that glorification. If something is not glorifying the Lord, it is going to vanish, finish, it will lose its life. Everything that is coming in existence must glorify its Lord Allah Almighty... Oceans are glorifying, mountains, earths, skies, sun, moon, stars, galaxies, plants are glorifying, animals, your body is glorifying. But mankind, because they are heedless, are not using their tongues to say: "Subhanallah’- “Glory to Allah Almighty! "
Therefore the events which are going to happen tomorrow are in their most perfect position. You can’t find any imperfection in anything in existence. Events are in their full perfection, because He, who created that event and that creature is in His endless perfection...
So perfection may be taken from a perfect person. An imperfect person can’t give perfection to someone else, because if he is imperfect, he must give from his imperfection. | can only give from what | have. If | haven’t, what am | going to give to you? If | have perfection, | am giving perfection. If | have imperfection, | am giving imperfection...
There is no imperfection with the Lord of the Heavens, and He gives to everything its perfection. He is asking His servants to ask for what they are in need of from Him: perfection. But people ask for this or that... No, ask from Him, from His perfection oceans, to give you perfection, so that you don’t come to His Divine Presence in an imperfect condition. He may ask: "Why you are coming in such a condition? Why are you not coming to My Divine Presence with perfection? Why are you coming imperfect?" If the servant says:
131Bridge to Eternity "| never asked for more than this, | didn’t know where perfection was", then Allah Almighty may say: "Oh My servant, why didn’t you look for a perfect one among My servants? If you had asked, you would have found someone, but you never asked, so you never found anyone and you are coming to Me not perfect. If you were asking for perfection from Me, | would have granted it to you, but you didn’t ask. You asked for this and that, although perfection was the best thing for you to ask for, and the highest honour was to come to My Divine Presence with perfection."
It is important. Ask, and you can find. There must be some people who have perfection. It is not for common people, but if you ask, you can find a perfect servant and he may give to you. But if you are not asking...
This is the meaning of the Prophet’s saying: "If knowledge is to be found in China, you must run after it..." At that time China was the last known place on earth, beyond which no country was heard of. The Prophet knew better, but he was addressing the people in front of him who knew only China as the furthest state. He meant to say: ‘If you are asking for a knowledge, and the person who may teach you that knowledge is in China, run to him...’
What kind of knowledge? A knowledge which gives you perfection. Not a kind of knowledge which is only written down to make books, no. There are millions of books. But try yourself, can you take perfection from them? You can? Oh, very good; but you can’t find the perfection which belongs to you...
There may be a big warehouse full of keys, thousands of keys, and you are in need of a single key, and you are coming and saying: "Oh keeper of this warehouse of keys, | have lost my door key, give me the key." But he doesn’t ask what kind of key it was and what it looked like, he only says: "This is the key," and gives it to you. And you go and try the key, but you can’t open the door. You come back and ask: "Give me another key ."... But up to the end of the world the keys are never ending and they never open that door...
So there are millions of books full of knowledge, but which one is giving you perfection? You need maybe a million years of lifetime to try and find out which one is for you... Oh heedless people... Never ending... Even in one million years you will not finish... But that person, who is an expert, is saying to you: "What are you asking for? What kind of lock do you have, tell me." And then he is looking and saying: “Bring this key to him."
Therefore that person must know the perfection that you need. And that knowledge may be found in China, but not in books. Real knowledge through our hearts is what we are asking for. So that is the wisdom of what the Prophet was saying. Knowledge is knowledge, here or in China. But if that person, who may give you that perfection is living there, run to him and take from him. He may give you the key to open your treasures.
May Allah forgive us and make us understand something from perfection... Look for His representatives on earth to reach Him. If you don’t find them, you can’t reach Him.
14| Bridge to Eternity Knowledge of the Heart is Never Lost
The first night of 1420 according to the Islamic calendar just began at Maghreb. We are asking Allah Almighty to make this year good for Islam and Muslims everywhere on the whole earth, because Muslims are now in a very dangerous situation. Unexpected events have happened... no one could have imagined such a situation. And also in this year so many unexpected big, terrible and horrible events are going to come...
Dunya, the whole world, is changing day by day, because Dunya is running at full speed towards its destination, and for every creature there must be a destination. Without a destination Allah Almighty is not creating anything, even the smallest one walking or flying... | am asking scientists and authorized people about a certain creature on earth: "What is its name? It must have a name." But our foolish and proud scholars don’t know- they are only proud ones- and they may say: "It is not written in our books." You scholars are claiming that you know about everything, and you sit on a three-person chair... But if | am asking: "What is that creature’s name?", you are saying: "We didn’t take a photograph of that creature or put it under a microscope yet, and we didn’t ask it yet ‘what is your name?’, because we are meeting for the first time now." And | am saying: "Ask that creature if it knows about you. Ask it: ‘Do you know who am |?’ And it may say: ‘Yes, you are from the Children of Adam ass. |’ “
Every creature must know the deputy of Allah Almighty on earth... This is important. You have never heard such things before... Every creature must know Caliphatu’llah. They have been ordered to know him and also to be obedient and to be of benefit to him, because nothing is created without giving a benefit to mankind. Everything is created for man, and everything is helping man by its creation.
And _ before the creation of man, before the coming of the deputy of Allah Almighty, the creatures were looking and waiting for him, to be obedient to man and to help his descendants and give their best to them. Animals, plants... everything on earth, in earth, in the atmosphere, skies, space- everything is just created for you... Allahu akbar!
So that small creature also knows about you, because you have been created to be Sultan over them. And yet you are heedless of your real being, not making any research about yourself and the importance of being in existence. No, you only make enquiries and research into a few creatures, but you can’t enter the ocean of the countless beings. They are living everywhere, whether you can see them or not. Everywhere is full of creatures, and they are looking at you, but you can’t see them. And they know about you, and you don’t have a full knowledge about yourself...
An ignorant person may ask: "Does anyone know the names of the creatures?" And the creatures say: "Yes, Allah Almighty created Adam a.s. to be His deputy, Calipha on earth, saying: 'Wa ‘allama Adama’l asmaa kullaha' . Allah Almighty taught Adam the names of every creature that He created.” Adam a.s. knew their names fully. For example here in this room there are maybe one hundred people, and everyone has a name. Your common name is man, but individually you are Anmad. So Adam knew the common names and also, one by one, every creature’s individual name...
15|Bridge to Eternity That is a certain stage for mankind, and there are so many stages or levels for everyone. When someone is reaching there spiritually, there is an opening... What you put in your mind, even after a long time you may forget. Mind products quickly may be lost, forgotten. But what you have been granted by Allah Almighty through His most Respected Servant Rasul sws, what is coming to your soul, you never forget. Mind products are going to melt and finish, but not heart products; they are kept, and they belong to our souls. It is like a fish that is brought to you, and you take this fish and throw it back into the ocean, so that it may live there forever. But out of the ocean with you, it can’t live on...
Like that mind products may only be kept for a short time. You may learn some

Countless events are happening in Dunya, and so many things we are interested in which we give all our power to- and they are all Batil... Allah Almighty is saying in His Holy Quran: “Inna Ii’llahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un...We are coming from Allah and we are going to Allah...” And that is Haqq, the real truth.
The people of this century never take any interest to find out from where they are coming, and to where they are going. Their only interest is Dunya, what they are touching in this life up to until they leave. They think that sixty or seventy years is a lot. And they think that they may enjoy themselves throughout this short life-time... sixty, seventy years, or more or less... ninety and one hundred year old people are so difficult to find...
Where were you before you came to this life? You were in Allah Almighty’s Divine Presence. You are coming from Him- coming a long way.... You have forgotten it. What makes you to forget? It is that you are not believing. If you were believing, you would have to take an interest in yourself and ask: “What happened, and what is going to happen?” But people never use their mind... Their interest is only in that short time that they are living in.
And everything in this life is directed in such a way that man is never going to take an interest in his spiritual being and his spiritual life. Everything that has happened, or is happening now and is going to happen is only making you not take any interest in your original source, not to ask from where you are coming. And this is big trouble for mankind...
You see running water, and you are asking: ”From where is this river coming? Is it pure or not?” For water you ask. But for yourself, although you are running day after day like rivers, you are not interested to ask: “Where | am coming from? Where am | going to?” The answer is just as we said: ‘Coming from Allah, and going to Allah’...
Our time is very short and full of interests which never leave you to look after anything from your eternal life- and eternal life is to be with Allah Almighty. He is the Eternal One, and if His servant is asking for eternity, then He dresses him with such lights, with such powers, that his interests are going to change step by step. Then you finally reach a point that you understand where you are coming from and where you are going to. There is a plan. On it is written: ‘From Allah Almighty’. And on another plan is written: ‘To Allah Almighty’...
10|Bridge to Eternity You must try to be for Allah. You must try to force your ego to live for Allah and to learn that you are coming from Allah and going to Him: “My interest is never in you for this life. My interest is only in my Lord. | came and stepped on this planet, and after a while my feet are taken from this earth and directed towards some _ directions... perhaps unknown directions... perhaps somewhere where there is no more directions...”
Oh people, he who is going opposite to Allah’s calling is going in the wrong direction. That is why a punishment comes on a person, who understands this, but doesn’t keep it. You must understand, in this short life, everything that has happened, what is happening and what will happen forever. Be careful what you do here, what you plant here, so that you should be powerful, and full of enjoyment and satisfaction.
Oh people, try to make your ego say that we are coming from Allah Almighty, and we are changing crew, taking new fuel, and then leaving towards the Heavens in our space ships. Everyone has a vessel, like the Ark which was granted to Sayyidina Nuh a.s.... You may enter it and go freely to your Lord’s Divine Presence...
May Allah forgive us and make us understand. It is so clear- to come from Allah and to go to Allah. Oh people, live for Allah, do for Allah, go to Allah, be for Allah... Fatiha.
Our Last Destination is the Divine Presence
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim... This is a new association with our GrandShaykh even though it is late... Sleep is Sultan, nobody can resist it; but it is Rahmah, a blessing, also... What shall we do? We must try to translate something to you. It is as necessary for you as food. You are in need of food for your physical body. You must cook and eat what Allah Almighty
created for your physical being. But for your soul you are in need of spirituality, spiritual food.
Now all religions, except Islam, never give anything to their followers, they are finished. This bottle here, if it is full, you may give something from it, but when it is finished, what can you give? Christianity finished many years ago, but they have been trying to do something, to make people interested. They were using so many nonsense, useless and foolish ways for youngsters, knowing very well what our physical being is interested in: Eating and drinking, and running to fulfil the wishes and demands of the ego. The ego is only interested in reaching its own targets...
People living now are only running after their physical body’s interests. Perhaps you may find one out of ten thousand, or fifty thousand, or one hundred thousand people, who may have an interest in spirituality. And the most high spirituality, which is never decreasing, you can only find through Islam. What Allah Almighty granted to Musa a.s. and Isa a.s., was something to be given in a limited place and time to their followers. Christianity, from the beginning, tried to give people what they needed for their spiritual life, but day by day its spirituality went down for the sake of the Seal of Prophets, who would bring perfection, a perfect target for people. Islam came for that purpose. And therefore Jesus Christ was saying: “| am your Lord’s servant, nothing else, and that is my honour.”
11I1Bridge to Eternity Can an ant understand who Man is? Never. Even if it lived for one million years. And as much as man may ask for more wisdom and more from his Lord’s Divine Knowledge, what he can take from it is always going to be small. This is because limited things, even they may appear big in our eyes, are always going to be nothing in the Divine Oceans of Greatness... But people are so crazy, so mad, such foolish idiots, asking to know who Allah is, or how Allah is, or where Allah is... Ya Hu!
Where is Italy? Where is Germany? Where is America? Where is Malaysia? Show me! And you are saying: “I can’t show you from here now, but come with me on a plane, and we shall fly and | shall show you my homeland.” Oh donkey, if you are only asking about Malaysia, and you are in need to take a plane and fly fifteen hours to land there, and then still you don’t know it... Why or how you can say: “Show me Allah”? And | am saying: “Show me beyond these skies. Show me the beginning of space, its limits, where it ends- then | shall show you beyond that. You need thirteen, fourteen or fifteen hours to travel to Malaysia... How many years, or centuries, or billions of years must you fly to find the last point of space? And then | shall show you where the Lord is, where His state is, Alem Jabarut... Alem Malakut, Alem Jabarut, Alem Lahut... Then | shall say. But people in their ignorance are asking: “Where is Allah?” He created the where. How can you ask ‘where’? He created the time. How can you ask ‘how old is He’?
And | am asking: “How old is our galaxy?” So many billions of galaxies are running... | am saying: “Ride on one of them, they are all running to their Lord’s Divine Presence. Take any one of them, all of them are running in the same direction. Not one galaxy is going in the opposite direction. There are no accidents in the heavenly traffic! Take one, and then you may reach with it to the Divine Presence. What is your payment? You must pay, as a ticket, for riding on any galaxy with your physical body. You must give it as a payment. You can ride any galaxy if you are paying. Give your physical body to them, then every galaxy may take you free... Saluting you, taking you to the Divine Presence. Where is the Divine Presence? Only Allah, the Owner of the galaxies, may say: “This is the last station for this galaxy. Now it has arrived. | am here!”
Good news for those who can pay the ticket-money. Any galaxy may accept you and you may continue on it. Then the Lord of Heavens says: “Stop, this is your last destination. | am here. Come to Me...” Allahu akbar... He is taking away the Hijab-ul-’Azamat, the Veil of Greatness. Supreme Greatness is for Allah Almighty. These veils open and He says: “I am here...” Everywhere... Allah, the most High, most Great... Allah, the Knowing, the most Powerful... Everything is in its perfection for Him Almighty...
You must understand, it is from eternity to eternity... And when the angels ask you: “Where you are asking to reach?” you must say: “I am moving towards eternity.” “Then come, who is asking for eternity, may come.” Who is asking for anything else, the ticket-collector will kick him off: “ Go. This is only for those who are asking eternity, go away.”
Ask Perfection from a Perfect One Now we are in this temporary life. Tomorrow, next week, next month, next year or next century we are going to leave. We must leave this life and move from this world to another
world, which is only described to us by the Prophets. No one may open the veils from the
12| Bridge to Eternity coming days, and no one can know what will happen after tomorrow in the endless future. Only He Who created you, mankind, may know what is going to happen in the future, and He is the Only One who can remove the veils.
He is the Creator of the coming days and the Designer of every day’s program. Don’t think that any day may come by itself without a program, no. Every day must come by His Will, and everything, which is coming into existence, which will appear tomorrow, is programmed by Him with all the details, not only with the headlines.
Yourself and every creature, everything, is representing our Creator’s endless power, His endless perfection. It begins with the smallest representative of creatures, which is less than an atom, then continues to the atomic world, the solid world, the plant world, the animal world, the human nature world, mountains, oceans, the earth, stars, galaxies... Everything shows Allah's perfection, and He puts perfection in everything, never leaving any imperfection in any creature in any of these worlds.
And there is a perfect connection between everything, from the smallest unit in the atomic world, to the gigantic star systems in the world of the galaxies. Nothing and no one can be by itself, by himself. By that connection everything in existence knows its Creator. This is a common connection between everything in existence, that they know, or must know, their Creator- heavenly beings, earthly beings, the smallest creatures up to huge, gigantic galaxies. None among the countless creatures is going to deny the existence of their Creator. Only fully foolish, drunk people from mankind.
And the second common connection among everything in existence is that all creatures give their most high and endless respect to their Lord, which is their glorification. Everything must glorify! They are saying that some things are not alive, but everything in existence has a life, and everything is alive with that glorification. If something is not glorifying the Lord, it is going to vanish, finish, it will lose its life. Everything that is coming in existence must glorify its Lord Allah Almighty... Oceans are glorifying, mountains, earths, skies, sun, moon, stars, galaxies, plants are glorifying, animals, your body is glorifying. But mankind, because they are heedless, are not using their tongues to say: "Subhanallah’- “Glory to Allah Almighty! "
Therefore the events which are going to happen tomorrow are in their most perfect position. You can’t find any imperfection in anything in existence. Events are in their full perfection, because He, who created that event and that creature is in His endless perfection...
So perfection may be taken from a perfect person. An imperfect person can’t give perfection to someone else, because if he is imperfect, he must give from his imperfection. | can only give from what | have. If | haven’t, what am | going to give to you? If | have perfection, | am giving perfection. If | have imperfection, | am giving imperfection...
There is no imperfection with the Lord of the Heavens, and He gives to everything its perfection. He is asking His servants to ask for what they are in need of from Him: perfection. But people ask for this or that... No, ask from Him, from His perfection oceans, to give you perfection, so that you don’t come to His Divine Presence in an imperfect condition. He may ask: "Why you are coming in such a condition? Why are you not coming to My Divine Presence with perfection? Why are you coming imperfect?" If the servant says:
131Bridge to Eternity "| never asked for more than this, | didn’t know where perfection was", then Allah Almighty may say: "Oh My servant, why didn’t you look for a perfect one among My servants? If you had asked, you would have found someone, but you never asked, so you never found anyone and you are coming to Me not perfect. If you were asking for perfection from Me, | would have granted it to you, but you didn’t ask. You asked for this and that, although perfection was the best thing for you to ask for, and the highest honour was to come to My Divine Presence with perfection."
It is important. Ask, and you can find. There must be some people who have perfection. It is not for common people, but if you ask, you can find a perfect servant and he may give to you. But if you are not asking...
This is the meaning of the Prophet’s saying: "If knowledge is to be found in China, you must run after it..." At that time China was the last known place on earth, beyond which no country was heard of. The Prophet knew better, but he was addressing the people in front of him who knew only China as the furthest state. He meant to say: ‘If you are asking for a knowledge, and the person who may teach you that knowledge is in China, run to him...’
What kind of knowledge? A knowledge which gives you perfection. Not a kind of knowledge which is only written down to make books, no. There are millions of books. But try yourself, can you take perfection from them? You can? Oh, very good; but you can’t find the perfection which belongs to you...
There may be a big warehouse full of keys, thousands of keys, and you are in need of a single key, and you are coming and saying: "Oh keeper of this warehouse of keys, | have lost my door key, give me the key." But he doesn’t ask what kind of key it was and what it looked like, he only says: "This is the key," and gives it to you. And you go and try the key, but you can’t open the door. You come back and ask: "Give me another key ."... But up to the end of the world the keys are never ending and they never open that door...
So there are millions of books full of knowledge, but which one is giving you perfection? You need maybe a million years of lifetime to try and find out which one is for you... Oh heedless people... Never ending... Even in one million years you will not finish... But that person, who is an expert, is saying to you: "What are you asking for? What kind of lock do you have, tell me." And then he is looking and saying: “Bring this key to him."
Therefore that person must know the perfection that you need. And that knowledge may be found in China, but not in books. Real knowledge through our hearts is what we are asking for. So that is the wisdom of what the Prophet was saying. Knowledge is knowledge, here or in China. But if that person, who may give you that perfection is living there, run to him and take from him. He may give you the key to open your treasures.
May Allah forgive us and make us understand something from perfection... Look for His representatives on earth to reach Him. If you don’t find them, you can’t reach Him.
14| Bridge to Eternity Knowledge of the Heart is Never Lost
The first night of 1420 according to the Islamic calendar just began at Maghreb. We are asking Allah Almighty to make this year good for Islam and Muslims everywhere on the whole earth, because Muslims are now in a very dangerous situation. Unexpected events have happened... no one could have imagined such a situation. And also in this year so many unexpected big, terrible and horrible events are going to come...
Dunya, the whole world, is changing day by day, because Dunya is running at full speed towards its destination, and for every creature there must be a destination. Without a destination Allah Almighty is not creating anything, even the smallest one walking or flying... | am asking scientists and authorized people about a certain creature on earth: "What is its name? It must have a name." But our foolish and proud scholars don’t know- they are only proud ones- and they may say: "It is not written in our books." You scholars are claiming that you know about everything, and you sit on a three-person chair... But if | am asking: "What is that creature’s name?", you are saying: "We didn’t take a photograph of that creature or put it under a microscope yet, and we didn’t ask it yet ‘what is your name?’, because we are meeting for the first time now." And | am saying: "Ask that creature if it knows about you. Ask it: ‘Do you know who am |?’ And it may say: ‘Yes, you are from the Children of Adam ass. |’ “
Every creature must know the deputy of Allah Almighty on earth... This is important. You have never heard such things before... Every creature must know Caliphatu’llah. They have been ordered to know him and also to be obedient and to be of benefit to him, because nothing is created without giving a benefit to mankind. Everything is created for man, and everything is helping man by its creation.
And _ before the creation of man, before the coming of the deputy of Allah Almighty, the creatures were looking and waiting for him, to be obedient to man and to help his descendants and give their best to them. Animals, plants... everything on earth, in earth, in the atmosphere, skies, space- everything is just created for you... Allahu akbar!
So that small creature also knows about you, because you have been created to be Sultan over them. And yet you are heedless of your real being, not making any research about yourself and the importance of being in existence. No, you only make enquiries and research into a few creatures, but you can’t enter the ocean of the countless beings. They are living everywhere, whether you can see them or not. Everywhere is full of creatures, and they are looking at you, but you can’t see them. And they know about you, and you don’t have a full knowledge about yourself...
An ignorant person may ask: "Does anyone know the names of the creatures?" And the creatures say: "Yes, Allah Almighty created Adam a.s. to be His deputy, Calipha on earth, saying: 'Wa ‘allama Adama’l asmaa kullaha' . Allah Almighty taught Adam the names of every creature that He created.” Adam a.s. knew their names fully. For example here in this room there are maybe one hundred people, and everyone has a name. Your common name is man, but individually you are Anmad. So Adam knew the common names and also, one by one, every creature’s individual name...

What you put in your mind, even after a long time you may forget. Mind products quickly may be lost, forgotten. But what you have been granted by Allah Almighty through His most Respected Servant Rasul sws, what is coming to your soul, you never forget.

It is like a fish that is brought to you, and you take this fish and throw it back into the ocean, so that it may live there forever. But out of the ocean with you, it can’t live on...
