The Sufi Path of Love (Shaykh Nazim, 15 sohbets, 90 pages, 2/8)

shabandi Order because this power is growing and not decreasing, and it is able to affect the hearts of all people. The Naqshabandi Tariqat also has Jaziba. Jazbat at Tariqat. Jaziba means attraction “Divine Attraction” it is the attraction that is
to be able to carry the hearts of people and to control them. This only comes through the Naqshabandi Tariqat and to whoever having his heart connected to it. We hope that Allah Almighty makes His servants to connect their hearts. We are more than ever in need of that power today.
We hope that quarreling and fighting may not separate people and that they become attracted to the way of Allah Almighty. People need to have peace in their hearts by the way of zikr. All tariqast today use only the zikr that is done with their tongues. It is only the Naqshabandi Tariqat which uses zikr through the hearts and only this “heart zikr” can control hearts. If zikr does not come through the heart of a person, Shaitan always reaches to that heart. When there is zikr in one’s heart Shaitan must neccesarily escape and go away from that heart. Today the zikr of these other forty tariqats do not enter hearts. There is no authority for them to look into hearts and to control them. This is done today only by the way of the most distinguished Naqshabandi Tariqat.
All Imams are using their power now only through the Naqshabandi Tariqat including Seyyadi Abdul Qadir Jilani (qad). He is also dressed by this power so that he may control his murids (followers) from his time till today. There is only one Imam or main pillar in the Qadiriya Tariqat and that Imam is Muhiyadeen Abdul Qadir Jilani (qad). He is also now using Naqshabandi power for controlling hearts. His contact is the Sultan ul Awliya (the highest ranking saint of the time) who is in power today for the whole world. His heart is in contact with this Sultan ul Awliya. The Imams of the other forty tariqats are also reach to this power in the same way that Abdul Qadir Jilani (Qad) reaches this Naqshabandi Power and then they are controlling their murids through this way.
If zikr does not reach to the hearts, the body does not surrender. If the body does not surrender then our hearts are not yet prepared to carry real Iman (faith). zikr is what drives away Shaitan to go out from the hearts. Neither heavenly trusts nor heavenly blessings can come to the hearts of murids as long as Shaitan is able to approach their hearts. When Shaitan is in their hearts they will have no “Openings,” (kashf). These murids will not able to look to Malakut and to the Heavens, and to everything that is veiled from them. They will not be able to look at all this except through the power and lights of zikr (noor-ul-zikr) which should reach to their hearts. If this light of zikr reaches to their hearts they will be able to look in front of them and behind them. They will also be able to look into the past and into the future. When they reach to that hidden knowledge (kashf), in whichever direction that they send that light (noor), that direction shall become clear and open to them and they shall be able to see.
Therefore, the Naqshabandi Tariqat is the way for all non-Muslims as Iman (faith) for them is coming through that way now. The other tariqats are now not able to carry non-Muslims except for a short time. After this short time the non-Muslims will leave. I am looking into so many tariqats. In Europe they are only carrying non-Muslims for a short period of time. Then after this short period these non-Muslims leave these tariqats and in the process leave Islam also. When they come and meet with the Naqshabandi Order, this Order is able to carry everyone from East to West.
Mahdi (alai) shall come and we hope that he will come soon. The events that are happening today are carrying on to that big event of Dunya Zuhural -the last days. Mahdi (alai) should come after the great war. The war is to make preparation for his mission. Therefore, first there must be a war, and then Mahdi (alai) will come. There is no power on earth that will be able to stop this great war except the miraculous power of Mahdi (alai). It will cease only with the
miraculous power of Islam. Almighty Allah will show this huge power which is Islam to the non-Muslims and to the unbelievers.
Only one power, the power of Takbir from an ocean of power will be used. Only the words “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar” will be used to stop all the technology that the non-Muslims and Kafirs (disbelievers) are trusting on to bring down Islam. Allah Almighty has given that authority to Mahdi (alai) to bring down non-believers. The power of technology shall be taken away from them and their weapons will stop working.
It is only for one Saint whohas been authorized that there is the power to switch on and off technology. He should switch it off. Mahdi (alai) is authorized for that. During the coming of Mahdi (alai) there shall also be with him the last Sheikh of the Naqshabandi Order. The Naqshabandi Order has 7007 Imams and all of them are in the same rank. In the Qadiri Tariqat there is only one Imam, who is Sultan ul Awliya Seyyadi Muhiyadeen. In Naqshabandi 7007 have this power. Yes and the last one shall be with Mahdi (alai).
Mahdi (alai) shall look at the outward aspect, to arrange everything and every action according to shariat without leaving anything and anyone who are against it. He is not going to look to hearts. The hearts are left for the last Imam of the Naqshabandi Order. He would be able to look at the hearts of all the people and to bring them under Divine Control and Shaitan is will be prohibited to approach their hearts.
Therefore now little by little spiritual power is reaching to the East and West. This spiritual power is working on hearts. Our mission is within limits, physically, but spiritually it is most powerful, as unlike a physical body a spiritual body is not only one, but in number, they are as many as mankind may need.
It is preparation time now, for hearts to accept zikrullah (remembrance of Allah) and to accept also Noor (light) and to work on the lights of Iman (faith) so that they will be prepared to be in the Divine Presence and in the Holy Presence of Rasoolullah (sal). We are now only making some short practices and showing some signs on it so that it will be easy to build the real power of the Naqshabandi Order. May Allah Almighty bless you and light up your hearts and our hearts with His Holy Zikr.

4-Naqshbandi Power MOVING ON ETERNALLY toTHE HIGHEST LIMITS
SPIRITUAL ROCKET POWER OF THE NAQSHABANDI ORDER
(Sheik Nazim visited a mosque in Gintota, Galle, Sri Lanka where the saint referred to is buried. This speech was given by Sheik Nazim within the mosque premises close to the Burial Chamber of this Saint)
Auzu billahi mina shaitan i rajeem. Bismillahi rahman ir raheem ? La hawla wala quwatha illa billah il aliyil aleem ? Bismilla Seyedi ya waliallah ? I am asking permission from this Saint who is buried here to let me speak on tariqat. I am receiving what I am now saying from the Sahib of this Maqam. I am the guest of this saint and he is my host and we are today in his holy presence. What he is saying to me I am now passing on to you. Although it is not for me to speak by my self in the presence of such a host, he is requesting me to speak. He says that as he is my host and I am his guest that I must speak. In this way he is giving a spiritual connection to us.
Now I am going to explain to all of you and this explanation will not be in my words but his words. He wants me to speak about what is shariat and what are tariqats. Firstly we must know that all prophets are called us to Allah Almighty?s Divine Presence. They are teaching us and thus they are always our teachers. Allah Almighty ordered his beloved Prophet Muhammed (Sal) saying “Oh My beloved Prophet stand up and call people towards me.” Allah Almighty is inviting His servants to His Divine Presence. We are now asking “How are we to come to you, My Lord?”
When you are about to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca the first thing that your find out is as to where Mecca is, and then how to get there. Then you think about the things that you should take with you when you are going on such a long journey. You then prepare yourself with your passport and your food items and luggage. Then you take a car to Colombo and from there you board on to a plane, and then fly to Hijaz (Saudi Arabia). In the same manner, when you are on your journey to Almighty Allah you need the shariat, which is your food and luggage that you need to take along with you to the Divine Presence. Tariqat is the journeys passage (the way). All tariqats are ways that take people to the Divine Presence.
There are forty-one tariqats which are like a wide road (Autobahn) or highway as is to be found in Europe. Many modes of travel take place on this type of highway. For example, pedestrians, lorries, mini buses, cars and speed cars, all travel on this highway. All of them are heading in the same direction. In the same way all the tariqats are also reaching towards this same destination-their destination is the Divine Presence. If one does not get up he cannot walk. Even if one walks that is a way, a tariqat.
As I said before there are at present forty one tariqats. Out of these forty-one tariqats, forty of them are using the spiritual power of ?La ilaha illallah? to move towards Allah. The Naqshabandi Tariqat uses the Zikr, ?Allah?, ?Allah?, ?Allah?, as their main zikr to reach to this destination. If the other tariqats are using the speed of jet planes, the Naqshabandi Tariqat is going at the speed of a rocket. This is because when a servant says ?La ilaha illallah? his nafs (ego) catches hold of him and he is not able to move forward with full power.This is
because when he says ?La ilaha illallah? (there is no God but Allah), his nafs prompts him to say La ilaha illa ana, (there is no God but me). Therefore their program slows down and like planes they can reach only to a limit. Rockets cut through gravity and get out. As mentioned earlier because the Naqshabandi Tariqat uses as their main Zikr “Allah” there is no more nafs with them and they destroy their ego and kill it.
Planes might come down, but rockets never. Perhaps they may move on from the atmosphere of this earth and move on eternally. This is the way of the Naqshabandi Tariqat. Planes move from one continent to another but rockets move from the earth to the highest skies and beyond. Those who are asking to reach only to the sky (sama) may use one of the forty tariqats, and as for those who are asking to reach to the highest limit (Sidurathul Muntaha) they must use the way of the Naqshabandi Tariqat.
This information which I give you is only a drop from an ocean. When you come to me with a thimble and ask me to put the ocean in it, how can I do that as the listeners cannot take in more than their capacity? It is always impossible. Yes, it is not possible to talk about these things for more than half an hour. But this is enough.
The End
5-RIDE YOUR EGO to REACH TO THE DIVINE PRESENCE
May Allah not leave us in the the hands of our dirty ego. Beware of your ego. It is your biggest enemy, cutting off your way to Allah. It says, “Serve me,” “Bow to me,” and “Leave every will and desire except for mine.” “I am everything, and your are my slave.”
Worship and fasting is to take away your ego. To make it weak, then die. This is because as long as your ego gives orders, and you are working under its command, you wont be able to reach to anything from the Divine Presence. There is only one Sultan and you must be His servant.
Tariqat is training for reaching to good manners. You must forget and oppose your ego, and then accept and be happy with the Will of your Lord. Don’t be heedless of glorifying your Lord, because then you will be imprisoned by your dirty ego, like a lion in a cage. For every moment that you are heedless, some damage or punishment comes to you. Even a short moment may become a curse on you.
All people are so friendly with their egos. They ask of it, “What are you ordering”? “O my ego, O my sultan,” “Whatever you want, Whatever you wish, I must prepare it for you” “I am your slave and you are my Sultan.” Finally, they will die, and their bodies will have a bad smell. The ego is a fully foolish one, but he is introducing himself as a mighty one. It says, “You must obey me,” “I don’t like any partner.” “I am the first and I am the last for you.” “All respect and praise that you give must be for me.” People are mostly lazy, and they are following their ego. (which is the laziest one amongst creatures.)
Your physical being cannot reach to the vastness of the world. But your spiritual being, that is something else. As much as we grant it more, from heavenly worlds, our spiritual being may reach to this vastness. In the beginning, when Allah Almighty created our nafs, He said, “Go forward,” and the nafs went back. That is its nature, never to accept its Lords commands. Allah Almighty honoured man to be His servants, and his nafs always comes in the way, to prevent him from obeying his Lord.
Every Prophet, brought methods from Allah Almighty, for training our ego so that we can say, “O my Lord, I surrender to you.” But your ego says to Allah, “No, I will not surrender.” When Allah asked our ego, “Who are you?”, the ego answered, “I am myself, and you are yourself.” “You are You, and I am myself.” So Allah Almighty ordered for the ego to be put in fire for one thousand years. He then took the ego out and asked it the same question. The ego replied, :”You are You and I am that me.” So he was ordered to be put into the cold hell for one thousand years, after which he was asked, “Who are you?” and it answered in the same way as before. Then it was ordered to be put into the valley of hunger for one thousand years, after which he was again called and asked again this same question, and this time it replied, “You are my Lord, and I am your servant.”
The ego always says, “I have Lordship.” Lordship is only for Allah. We are servants, but we do not want to declare that we are such! The Prophet Muhammad (sal) brought the order from Allah for fasting. When it comers to hunger the ego comes down, and says, “No longer am I claiming to be Lord in front of you.” “I am your weak servant, and you are my Lord.” The one who can’t control himself, is terrible and dangerous. Fasting gives you the capability
to put control on your ego, so that it listens to you. You may say, “do” and it does, or say, “Stop,”, and it stops. Therefore, from the beginning up to the end, fasting is the main pillar of servanthood. Without it no one may reach to be a real servant, because the ego is always winning otherwise. It takes a ride on your back and says, “Follow me.”
Keep control of yourself, and try to have control of your ego. May Allah forgive us and give us the power and capability to control our ego’s.
If Allah Almighty ordered for us to take a feather, or a flower, five times a day inside a mosque, or even just from one room to another, the ego would still object and say, “It is difficult,” and, “For what is this?” Your ego makes you to fear. It says, “I can’t control anger.” To swallow it at the beginning seems so difficult, but if you persist with the intention to swallow it, it will finally make you happy. You will say, “Ooh, it is so sweet, to keep myself from the harm of anger.”
Allah is asking that we move up to heavenly levels, from worldly levels. The ego, enjoys worldly things, not spiritual things. (As the night does not benefit from the sun). Turn your body to face Qibla, and your soul to face heavens (Allah). The biggest favour from Allah is to be able to enter His divine presence. This is our last wish and hope.
Ask to take away your ego, and what it is looking to. Stop asking to enjoy this world.
He knows when we spend our physical power, for something which is not for Him, but for our ego’s happiness. We do this during the whole day, but our egos are never content.
As much as you are working for your ego that much will be the burden you carry and it will be heavy. We do countless acts for the ego, and the ego ends up saying, “Ahh! what have you done for me?” Even if you were to work twenty-four hours a day to satisfy your ego, he will still say that you are a lazy one.
If anyone were to give for Allah, what they give for their ego, they would be able to fly. You are more than a slave of your ego, but it says that you take no care for it. It is very important to know that your ego (nafs) will never be pleased with you. But if you were to do just a small part of what you have been doing for your ego, for Allah instead, He will give you pleasure, satisfaction and hope through your heart, which will then run through your entire physical body. Which means your physical body will never die, or go to dust. In the grave it will never smell bad, and you will arrive on Judgment Day with the same body you had in this life. The will not be for others.. It will be known who the real believers, in Divine Service, were and who were for the service of their ego’s.
The one who is spending his life’s powers for Divine Service will be honoured. My Grandsheikh Abdullah said that people are either asking to manifest themselves, or to vanish themselves. This is the summary of all shariats (heavenly laws). Take good care of this.
Every person is doing one of these two things. Making his ego to grow up, or making it to vanish. What a person does is either the manifestation of his own existence, or the vanishing of his own existence. Everyone’ s ego likes to manifest its existence, and it uses every possibility to bring itself into existence and say, “I am here.” The other choice is to vanish from your own existence. But mostly people, we may say ninety-nine from one hundred, prefer to manifest themselves.
Allah Almighty desires from His servants, that they make themselves to vanish (Ifna’al- Wujud) You have to choose between these two things- to be with your animal, or to be with your Lord. The person who loves to manifest his ego can be thrown away with the rubbish. He is useless. Why do you think people are reluctant to come into Tariqat?
If you stay with yourself, you can’t enter the Real Presence. Verily the God-fearing are in paradises, with rivers flowing, in a position of sincerity, in the presence of The All Powerful King (Quran). Al-Muktadi. The All Powerful. This name of Allah has an unreachable meaning, even to all Prophets, or by the power of all Awliya and Jinn.
How many people have upto date died with their egos, and were buried with their animal? When you agree to leave your ego, our Grandsheikh will say, “Most welcome to our tariqat.” To enter the Holy Prophet Muhammad’s (sal) presence, it is obligatory to vanish your ego.
For purpose do you think you are making zikr, keeping to your awrad, praying at night and fasting in the day? Still the evil and dirty ego sits on your back and with every step you take, it says, “I am here, I am here, I am here.” Therefore you are on the lowest level.
Manifestation (ithbat) or Vanishing (ifna) the ego is the point. The murid should decide between one of these two. If he leaves his ego, he will be with his Sheikh, with the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sal) and with Allah Almighty. In the Human there is nafs (ego). The animals have nafs also, but their nafs are only for controlling themselves and their off spring. The animal’s nafs is used as an instinct. Without it they would not even be able to eat. The wish or desire, to eat, drink, and to continue their species, comes from nafs.
But the ego (nafs) is a test for humankind, so that they may win high stations, (or not). Who resists the ego reaches to higher Sriritual Stations- Maqams. There is something to gain.
Everyone must ask for more power to save their spirituality and souls from their egos imprisonment. The ego is assaulting our spiritual being and is never leaving it to take heavenly support, or to reach to the level of Real Believers. Therefore we are in need at occasion, to ask for much more support, and food for our spirituality.Our Naqshabandi way is not for everyone, because not everyone can hold it. To become a Naqshabandi, you must wage war with and break down your nafs, making it to be zero.
If anyone takes their nafs under their control, they will be called, “Come.” Only a mindless person will insist to go with his donkey to the presence of the Sultan. You cannot! You must leave your nafs. When you say that you have finished with existing, then you can go. Millions of people are saying that they are Naqshbandi, but if you touch them just a little bit, they kick. If you come from behind or in front, they kick and bite! If you don’t leave your donkey, you cannot become Naqshbandi, which is a hard discipline, and nothing less. (So you are not there).
If you are representing you own nafs, there is nothing to take, and they might as well send you to the stable, to be with the horses and donkeys, who are stamping on the ground, and moving their heads around. Don’t kick other people. Don’t argue and fight with people, and don’t interfere with other peoples affairs. Be busy with your own nafs. Don’t say that you are better than anyone. Anyone who says this belongs in the stable.
You must accept all people. People of every kind. Allah is creating as He likes, and He can create anyone in any way. So you must look to the Creator and like what He has created.
Allah liked it and created it, so you must say that you like it also. You must bring down your nafs. You don’t know who is who and what secrets they have.
If someone is tied to his nafs, we may easily see their bad side. But you must forget that and look inside for the jewel. Don’t just accept the bad side and look to the reality of the nafs.
Remember the jewel. Don’t say that you don’t like someone. If you look carefully, you have the same things too. Allah will say, “You rejected that servant, when you also had the same values.”You rejected him, but you couldn’t even throw those same things away from yourself. Be busy to find the goodness in each other. Then the way to Allah becomes closer and shorter. You may reach. The doors will be opened for you. If not you will remain with your ego (nafs).
If Allah did not give value to that person, He would not have created him. It is not the way to find someone’s bad things and to bring them out. This does not free you from your nafs.
Don’t think that in the presence of Allah you are more valuable. All people are against each other, not liking each other, jealous of each other, or enemies of each other. But in reality they are all the same.
Don’t let your nafs get in front of you, or they will take you to the sewers, to become a rat. All Prophets invited people to a clean and honourable life. Your egos are like rats that say, “What are we doing in clean water?” “Our water is sewage.”
Twentieth century people are against Prophets, especially the Last Prophet Muhammad (sal), because he is inviting us to clean waters. All people are making themselves to be high up, and not on the earth. They claim, “I am higher than you”, and the other one says, “No, I am higher than you.” Both of them are speaking through their egos only. People of this life are competing amongst themselves, to be higher in the material world. Allah Almighty does not likes this. No. He likes that we compete with each other for being closer to His Divine Presence.
Simple life gives satisfaction to the soul. We must be happy to sleep on the floor. We must be happy to be altogether. We must be happy to walk, and we must be happy with what we are facing from other people. I am trying to change the power, from the hands of your ego, to your spirituality.
Really our nafs (ego) was created not to harm ourselves. No. It is like an electric cable without the protective covering and this may harm you. You cannot touch it and you cannot use it. Therefore you lose the big chance which Allah Almighty grants to you. But with protection we may touch it. If were to ask, “Why is that harmful wire inside,?” and that if you take it out from the plastic, it would have no more use?, then you would have lost that huge power. Our ego (nafs), is such a big grant from Allah Almighty. The Prophet Muhammad (sal) was saying that it is your horse, which you may ride on, to wherever you want to reach.
It may take you up to the highest point of creation, but yet you ask, “Why is an ego put inside us?”
If we had no ego, we would be like angels. But Allah Almighty was asking to create a new creature, one hundred percent different from Angels. (For a reason, purpose and wisdom.) So He created Adam (alai) and gave him nafs. If He had not have given him nafs, Adam would have been the same as the Angels. Without this nafs, without this horse, you cannot reach to the honour which Allah Almighty granted, to those creatures who have nafs. This is a big wisdom, that must be understood.
Allal Almighty says, “Use your ego (nafs), and come to me.”
When Abu Yazid Al-Bistami (ral), reached to the Divine Presence, and asked to enter, Allah Almighty said, “O Abu Yazid, now leave your nafs and come to me.” Which also means the main purpose of nafs, is to make you to reach from the lowest level to the highest level. Like a plane takes a person to the destination that they like. If a plane takes you from here to Germany, you cannot then ask the plane to take you to your bedroom. No. The plane says to you that you must come down and walk. It says, “I can’t come.” “My limit finishes here.” : “Leave me and go.” Therefore anyone asking to reach to the Divine Presence must use his or her nafs as a horse. But when entering to your Lords Divine Presence, He says, “Leave your horse outside, then come.”Your horse is your nafs. You can’t enter inside a palace to the Royal Presence with your horse. No.
If you are able to use your nafs, it will be your servant, up to the Divine Presence. When you arrive howerver, its importance is finished, and you may tell it to go back. (As a plane does, to take new passengers.) The ego is the wildest and most disobedient creature ever created. It has the worst characteristics, which represent the whole animal world within itself. Animals which live close to people, animals from the jungle, and the most terrible and dangerous animals. Their characteristics, all put together, are given to our ego.
No creature is more powerful than our ego, and no

shabandi Order because this power is growing and not decreasing, and it is able to affect the hearts of all people. The Naqshabandi Tariqat also has Jaziba. Jazbat at Tariqat. Jaziba means attraction “Divine Attraction” it is the attraction that is
to be able to carry the hearts of people and to control them. This only comes through the Naqshabandi Tariqat and to whoever having his heart connected to it. We hope that Allah Almighty makes His servants to connect their hearts. We are more than ever in need of that power today.
We hope that quarreling and fighting may not separate people and that they become attracted to the way of Allah Almighty. People need to have peace in their hearts by the way of zikr. All tariqast today use only the zikr that is done with their tongues. It is only the Naqshabandi Tariqat which uses zikr through the hearts and only this “heart zikr” can control hearts. If zikr does not come through the heart of a person, Shaitan always reaches to that heart. When there is zikr in one’s heart Shaitan must neccesarily escape and go away from that heart. Today the zikr of these other forty tariqats do not enter hearts. There is no authority for them to look into hearts and to control them. This is done today only by the way of the most distinguished Naqshabandi Tariqat.
All Imams are using their power now only through the Naqshabandi Tariqat including Seyyadi Abdul Qadir Jilani (qad). He is also dressed by this power so that he may control his murids (followers) from his time till today. There is only one Imam or main pillar in the Qadiriya Tariqat and that Imam is Muhiyadeen Abdul Qadir Jilani (qad). He is also now using Naqshabandi power for controlling hearts. His contact is the Sultan ul Awliya (the highest ranking saint of the time) who is in power today for the whole world. His heart is in contact with this Sultan ul Awliya. The Imams of the other forty tariqats are also reach to this power in the same way that Abdul Qadir Jilani (Qad) reaches this Naqshabandi Power and then they are controlling their murids through this way.
If zikr does not reach to the hearts, the body does not surrender. If the body does not surrender then our hearts are not yet prepared to carry real Iman (faith). zikr is what drives away Shaitan to go out from the hearts. Neither heavenly trusts nor heavenly blessings can come to the hearts of murids as long as Shaitan is able to approach their hearts. When Shaitan is in their hearts they will have no “Openings,” (kashf). These murids will not able to look to Malakut and to the Heavens, and to everything that is veiled from them. They will not be able to look at all this except through the power and lights of zikr (noor-ul-zikr) which should reach to their hearts. If this light of zikr reaches to their hearts they will be able to look in front of them and behind them. They will also be able to look into the past and into the future. When they reach to that hidden knowledge (kashf), in whichever direction that they send that light (noor), that direction shall become clear and open to them and they shall be able to see.
Therefore, the Naqshabandi Tariqat is the way for all non-Muslims as Iman (faith) for them is coming through that way now. The other tariqats are now not able to carry non-Muslims except for a short time. After this short time the non-Muslims will leave. I am looking into so many tariqats. In Europe they are only carrying non-Muslims for a short period of time. Then after this short period these non-Muslims leave these tariqats and in the process leave Islam also. When they come and meet with the Naqshabandi Order, this Order is able to carry everyone from East to West.
Mahdi (alai) shall come and we hope that he will come soon. The events that are happening today are carrying on to that big event of Dunya Zuhural -the last days. Mahdi (alai) should come after the great war. The war is to make preparation for his mission. Therefore, first there must be a war, and then Mahdi (alai) will come. There is no power on earth that will be able to stop this great war except the miraculous power of Mahdi (alai). It will cease only with the
miraculous power of Islam. Almighty Allah will show this huge power which is Islam to the non-Muslims and to the unbelievers.
Only one power, the power of Takbir from an ocean of power will be used. Only the words “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar” will be used to stop all the technology that the non-Muslims and Kafirs (disbelievers) are trusting on to bring down Islam. Allah Almighty has given that authority to Mahdi (alai) to bring down non-believers. The power of technology shall be taken away from them and their weapons will stop working.
It is only for one Saint whohas been authorized that there is the power to switch on and off technology. He should switch it off. Mahdi (alai) is authorized for that. During the coming of Mahdi (alai) there shall also be with him the last Sheikh of the Naqshabandi Order. The Naqshabandi Order has 7007 Imams and all of them are in the same rank. In the Qadiri Tariqat there is only one Imam, who is Sultan ul Awliya Seyyadi Muhiyadeen. In Naqshabandi 7007 have this power. Yes and the last one shall be with Mahdi (alai).
Mahdi (alai) shall look at the outward aspect, to arrange everything and every action according to shariat without leaving anything and anyone who are against it. He is not going to look to hearts. The hearts are left for the last Imam of the Naqshabandi Order. He would be able to look at the hearts of all the people and to bring them under Divine Control and Shaitan is will be prohibited to approach their hearts.
Therefore now little by little spiritual power is reaching to the East and West. This spiritual power is working on hearts. Our mission is within limits, physically, but spiritually it is most powerful, as unlike a physical body a spiritual body is not only one, but in number, they are as many as mankind may need.
It is preparation time now, for hearts to accept zikrullah (remembrance of Allah) and to accept also Noor (light) and to work on the lights of Iman (faith) so that they will be prepared to be in the Divine Presence and in the Holy Presence of Rasoolullah (sal). We are now only making some short practices and showing some signs on it so that it will be easy to build the real power of the Naqshabandi Order. May Allah Almighty bless you and light up your hearts and our hearts with His Holy Zikr.

4-Naqshbandi Power MOVING ON ETERNALLY toTHE HIGHEST LIMITS
SPIRITUAL ROCKET POWER OF THE NAQSHABANDI ORDER
(Sheik Nazim visited a mosque in Gintota, Galle, Sri Lanka where the saint referred to is buried. This speech was given by Sheik Nazim within the mosque premises close to the Burial Chamber of this Saint)
Auzu billahi mina shaitan i rajeem. Bismillahi rahman ir raheem ? La hawla wala quwatha illa billah il aliyil aleem ? Bismilla Seyedi ya waliallah ? I am asking permission from this Saint who is buried here to let me speak on tariqat. I am receiving what I am now saying from the Sahib of this Maqam. I am the guest of this saint and he is my host and we are today in his holy presence. What he is saying to me I am now passing on to you. Although it is not for me to speak by my self in the presence of such a host, he is requesting me to speak. He says that as he is my host and I am his guest that I must speak. In this way he is giving a spiritual connection to us.
Now I am going to explain to all of you and this explanation will not be in my words but his words. He wants me to speak about what is shariat and what are tariqats. Firstly we must know that all prophets are called us to Allah Almighty?s Divine Presence. They are teaching us and thus they are always our teachers. Allah Almighty ordered his beloved Prophet Muhammed (Sal) saying “Oh My beloved Prophet stand up and call people towards me.” Allah Almighty is inviting His servants to His Divine Presence. We are now asking “How are we to come to you, My Lord?”
When you are about to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca the first thing that your find out is as to where Mecca is, and then how to get there. Then you think about the things that you should take with you when you are going on such a long journey. You then prepare yourself with your passport and your food items and luggage. Then you take a car to Colombo and from there you board on to a plane, and then fly to Hijaz (Saudi Arabia). In the same manner, when you are on your journey to Almighty Allah you need the shariat, which is your food and luggage that you need to take along with you to the Divine Presence. Tariqat is the journeys passage (the way). All tariqats are ways that take people to the Divine Presence.
There are forty-one tariqats which are like a wide road (Autobahn) or highway as is to be found in Europe. Many modes of travel take place on this type of highway. For example, pedestrians, lorries, mini buses, cars and speed cars, all travel on this highway. All of them are heading in the same direction. In the same way all the tariqats are also reaching towards this same destination-their destination is the Divine Presence. If one does not get up he cannot walk. Even if one walks that is a way, a tariqat.
As I said before there are at present forty one tariqats. Out of these forty-one tariqats, forty of them are using the spiritual power of ?La ilaha illallah? to move towards Allah. The Naqshabandi Tariqat uses the Zikr, ?Allah?, ?Allah?, ?Allah?, as their main zikr to reach to this destination. If the other tariqats are using the speed of jet planes, the Naqshabandi Tariqat is going at the speed of a rocket. This is because when a servant says ?La ilaha illallah? his nafs (ego) catches hold of him and he is not able to move forward with full power.This is
because when he says ?La ilaha illallah? (there is no God but Allah), his nafs prompts him to say La ilaha illa ana, (there is no God but me). Therefore their program slows down and like planes they can reach only to a limit. Rockets cut through gravity and get out. As mentioned earlier because the Naqshabandi Tariqat uses as their main Zikr “Allah” there is no more nafs with them and they destroy their ego and kill it.
Planes might come down, but rockets never. Perhaps they may move on from the atmosphere of this earth and move on eternally. This is the way of the Naqshabandi Tariqat. Planes move from one continent to another but rockets move from the earth to the highest skies and beyond. Those who are asking to reach only to the sky (sama) may use one of the forty tariqats, and as for those who are asking to reach to the highest limit (Sidurathul Muntaha) they must use the way of the Naqshabandi Tariqat.
This information which I give you is only a drop from an ocean. When you come to me with a thimble and ask me to put the ocean in it, how can I do that as the listeners cannot take in more than their capacity? It is always impossible. Yes, it is not possible to talk about these things for more than half an hour. But this is enough.
The End
5-RIDE YOUR EGO to REACH TO THE DIVINE PRESENCE
May Allah not leave us in the the hands of our dirty ego. Beware of your ego. It is your biggest enemy, cutting off your way to Allah. It says, “Serve me,” “Bow to me,” and “Leave every will and desire except for mine.” “I am everything, and your are my slave.”
Worship and fasting is to take away your ego. To make it weak, then die. This is because as long as your ego gives orders, and you are working under its command, you wont be able to reach to anything from the Divine Presence. There is only one Sultan and you must be His servant.
Tariqat is training for reaching to good manners. You must forget and oppose your ego, and then accept and be happy with the Will of your Lord. Don’t be heedless of glorifying your Lord, because then you will be imprisoned by your dirty ego, like a lion in a cage. For every moment that you are heedless, some damage or punishment comes to you. Even a short moment may become a curse on you.
All people are so friendly with their egos. They ask of it, “What are you ordering”? “O my ego, O my sultan,” “Whatever you want, Whatever you wish, I must prepare it for you” “I am your slave and you are my Sultan.” Finally, they will die, and their bodies will have a bad smell. The ego is a fully foolish one, but he is introducing himself as a mighty one. It says, “You must obey me,” “I don’t like any partner.” “I am the first and I am the last for you.” “All respect and praise that you give must be for me.” People are mostly lazy, and they are following their ego. (which is the laziest one amongst creatures.)
Your physical being cannot reach to the vastness of the world. But your spiritual being, that is something else. As much as we grant it more, from heavenly worlds, our spiritual being may reach to this vastness. In the beginning, when Allah Almighty created our nafs, He said, “Go forward,” and the nafs went back. That is its nature, never to accept its Lords commands. Allah Almighty honoured man to be His servants, and his nafs always comes in the way, to prevent him from obeying his Lord.
Every Prophet, brought methods from Allah Almighty, for training our ego so that we can say, “O my Lord, I surrender to you.” But your ego says to Allah, “No, I will not surrender.” When Allah asked our ego, “Who are you?”, the ego answered, “I am myself, and you are yourself.” “You are You, and I am myself.” So Allah Almighty ordered for the ego to be put in fire for one thousand years. He then took the ego out and asked it the same question. The ego replied, :”You are You and I am that me.” So he was ordered to be put into the cold hell for one thousand years, after which he was asked, “Who are you?” and it answered in the same way as before. Then it was ordered to be put into the valley of hunger for one thousand years, after which he was again called and asked again this same question, and this time it replied, “You are my Lord, and I am your servant.”
The ego always says, “I have Lordship.” Lordship is only for Allah. We are servants, but we do not want to declare that we are such! The Prophet Muhammad (sal) brought the order from Allah for fasting. When it comers to hunger the ego comes down, and says, “No longer am I claiming to be Lord in front of you.” “I am your weak servant, and you are my Lord.” The one who can’t control himself, is terrible and dangerous. Fasting gives you the capability
to put control on your ego, so that it listens to you. You may say, “do” and it does, or say, “Stop,”, and it stops. Therefore, from the beginning up to the end, fasting is the main pillar of servanthood. Without it no one may reach to be a real servant, because the ego is always winning otherwise. It takes a ride on your back and says, “Follow me.”
Keep control of yourself, and try to have control of your ego. May Allah forgive us and give us the power and capability to control our ego’s.
If Allah Almighty ordered for us to take a feather, or a flower, five times a day inside a mosque, or even just from one room to another, the ego would still object and say, “It is difficult,” and, “For what is this?” Your ego makes you to fear. It says, “I can’t control anger.” To swallow it at the beginning seems so difficult, but if you persist with the intention to swallow it, it will finally make you happy. You will say, “Ooh, it is so sweet, to keep myself from the harm of anger.”
Allah is asking that we move up to heavenly levels, from worldly levels. The ego, enjoys worldly things, not spiritual things. (As the night does not benefit from the sun). Turn your body to face Qibla, and your soul to face heavens (Allah). The biggest favour from Allah is to be able to enter His divine presence. This is our last wish and hope.
Ask to take away your ego, and what it is looking to. Stop asking to enjoy this world.
He knows when we spend our physical power, for something which is not for Him, but for our ego’s happiness. We do this during the whole day, but our egos are never content.
As much as you are working for your ego that much will be the burden you carry and it will be heavy. We do countless acts for the ego, and the ego ends up saying, “Ahh! what have you done for me?” Even if you were to work twenty-four hours a day to satisfy your ego, he will still say that you are a lazy one.
If anyone were to give for Allah, what they give for their ego, they would be able to fly. You are more than a slave of your ego, but it says that you take no care for it. It is very important to know that your ego (nafs) will never be pleased with you. But if you were to do just a small part of what you have been doing for your ego, for Allah instead, He will give you pleasure, satisfaction and hope through your heart, which will then run through your entire physical body. Which means your physical body will never die, or go to dust. In the grave it will never smell bad, and you will arrive on Judgment Day with the same body you had in this life. The will not be for others.. It will be known who the real believers, in Divine Service, were and who were for the service of their ego’s.
The one who is spending his life’s powers for Divine Service will be honoured. My Grandsheikh Abdullah said that people are either asking to manifest themselves, or to vanish themselves. This is the summary of all shariats (heavenly laws). Take good care of this.
Every person is doing one of these two things. Making his ego to grow up, or making it to vanish. What a person does is either the manifestation of his own existence, or the vanishing of his own existence. Everyone’ s ego likes to manifest its existence, and it uses every possibility to bring itself into existence and say, “I am here.” The other choice is to vanish from your own existence. But mostly people, we may say ninety-nine from one hundred, prefer to manifest themselves.
Allah Almighty desires from His servants, that they make themselves to vanish (Ifna’al- Wujud) You have to choose between these two things- to be with your animal, or to be with your Lord. The person who loves to manifest his ego can be thrown away with the rubbish. He is useless. Why do you think people are reluctant to come into Tariqat?
If you stay with yourself, you can’t enter the Real Presence. Verily the God-fearing are in paradises, with rivers flowing, in a position of sincerity, in the presence of The All Powerful King (Quran). Al-Muktadi. The All Powerful. This name of Allah has an unreachable meaning, even to all Prophets, or by the power of all Awliya and Jinn.
How many people have upto date died with their egos, and were buried with their animal? When you agree to leave your ego, our Grandsheikh will say, “Most welcome to our tariqat.” To enter the Holy Prophet Muhammad’s (sal) presence, it is obligatory to vanish your ego.
For purpose do you think you are making zikr, keeping to your awrad, praying at night and fasting in the day? Still the evil and dirty ego sits on your back and with every step you take, it says, “I am here, I am here, I am here.” Therefore you are on the lowest level.
Manifestation (ithbat) or Vanishing (ifna) the ego is the point. The murid should decide between one of these two. If he leaves his ego, he will be with his Sheikh, with the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sal) and with Allah Almighty. In the Human there is nafs (ego). The animals have nafs also, but their nafs are only for controlling themselves and their off spring. The animal’s nafs is used as an instinct. Without it they would not even be able to eat. The wish or desire, to eat, drink, and to continue their species, comes from nafs.
But the ego (nafs) is a test for humankind, so that they may win high stations, (or not). Who resists the ego reaches to higher Sriritual Stations- Maqams. There is something to gain.
Everyone must ask for more power to save their spirituality and souls from their egos imprisonment. The ego is assaulting our spiritual being and is never leaving it to take heavenly support, or to reach to the level of Real Believers. Therefore we are in need at occasion, to ask for much more support, and food for our spirituality.Our Naqshabandi way is not for everyone, because not everyone can hold it. To become a Naqshabandi, you must wage war with and break down your nafs, making it to be zero.
If anyone takes their nafs under their control, they will be called, “Come.” Only a mindless person will insist to go with his donkey to the presence of the Sultan. You cannot! You must leave your nafs. When you say that you have finished with existing, then you can go. Millions of people are saying that they are Naqshbandi, but if you touch them just a little bit, they kick. If you come from behind or in front, they kick and bite! If you don’t leave your donkey, you cannot become Naqshbandi, which is a hard discipline, and nothing less. (So you are not there).
If you are representing you own nafs, there is nothing to take, and they might as well send you to the stable, to be with the horses and donkeys, who are stamping on the ground, and moving their heads around. Don’t kick other people. Don’t argue and fight with people, and don’t interfere with other peoples affairs. Be busy with your own nafs. Don’t say that you are better than anyone. Anyone who says this belongs in the stable.
You must accept all people. People of every kind. Allah is creating as He likes, and He can create anyone in any way. So you must look to the Creator and like what He has created.
Allah liked it and created it, so you must say that you like it also. You must bring down your nafs. You don’t know who is who and what secrets they have.
If someone is tied to his nafs, we may easily see their bad side. But you must forget that and look inside for the jewel. Don’t just accept the bad side and look to the reality of the nafs.
Remember the jewel. Don’t say that you don’t like someone. If you look carefully, you have the same things too. Allah will say, “You rejected that servant, when you also had the same values.”You rejected him, but you couldn’t even throw those same things away from yourself. Be busy to find the goodness in each other. Then the way to Allah becomes closer and shorter. You may reach. The doors will be opened for you. If not you will remain with your ego (nafs).
If Allah did not give value to that person, He would not have created him. It is not the way to find someone’s bad things and to bring them out. This does not free you from your nafs.
Don’t think that in the presence of Allah you are more valuable. All people are against each other, not liking each other, jealous of each other, or enemies of each other. But in reality they are all the same.
Don’t let your nafs get in front of you, or they will take you to the sewers, to become a rat. All Prophets invited people to a clean and honourable life. Your egos are like rats that say, “What are we doing in clean water?” “Our water is sewage.”
Twentieth century people are against Prophets, especially the Last Prophet Muhammad (sal), because he is inviting us to clean waters. All people are making themselves to be high up, and not on the earth. They claim, “I am higher than you”, and the other one says, “No, I am higher than you.” Both of them are speaking through their egos only. People of this life are competing amongst themselves, to be higher in the material world. Allah Almighty does not likes this. No. He likes that we compete with each other for being closer to His Divine Presence.
Simple life gives satisfaction to the soul. We must be happy to sleep on the floor. We must be happy to be altogether. We must be happy to walk, and we must be happy with what we are facing from other people. I am trying to change the power, from the hands of your ego, to your spirituality.
Really our nafs (ego) was created not to harm ourselves. No. It is like an electric cable without the protective covering and this may harm you. You cannot touch it and you cannot use it. Therefore you lose the big chance which Allah Almighty grants to you. But with protection we may touch it. If were to ask, “Why is that harmful wire inside,?” and that if you take it out from the plastic, it would have no more use?, then you would have lost that huge power. Our ego (nafs), is such a big grant from Allah Almighty. The Prophet Muhammad (sal) was saying that it is your horse, which you may ride on, to wherever you want to reach.
It may take you up to the highest point of creation, but yet you ask, “Why is an ego put inside us?”
If we had no ego, we would be like angels. But Allah Almighty was asking to create a new creature, one hundred percent different from Angels. (For a reason, purpose and wisdom.) So He created Adam (alai) and gave him nafs. If He had not have given him nafs, Adam would have been the same as the Angels. Without this nafs, without this horse, you cannot reach to the honour which Allah Almighty granted, to those creatures who have nafs. This is a big wisdom, that must be understood.
Allal Almighty says, “Use your ego (nafs), and come to me.”
When Abu Yazid Al-Bistami (ral), reached to the Divine Presence, and asked to enter, Allah Almighty said, “O Abu Yazid, now leave your nafs and come to me.” Which also means the main purpose of nafs, is to make you to reach from the lowest level to the highest level. Like a plane takes a person to the destination that they like. If a plane takes you from here to Germany, you cannot then ask the plane to take you to your bedroom. No. The plane says to you that you must come down and walk. It says, “I can’t come.” “My limit finishes here.” : “Leave me and go.” Therefore anyone asking to reach to the Divine Presence must use his or her nafs as a horse. But when entering to your Lords Divine Presence, He says, “Leave your horse outside, then come.”Your horse is your nafs. You can’t enter inside a palace to the Royal Presence with your horse. No.
If you are able to use your nafs, it will be your servant, up to the Divine Presence. When you arrive howerver, its importance is finished, and you may tell it to go back. (As a plane does, to take new passengers.) The ego is the wildest and most disobedient creature ever created. It has the worst characteristics, which represent the whole animal world within itself. Animals which live close to people, animals from the jungle, and the most terrible and dangerous animals. Their characteristics, all put together, are given to our ego.
No creature is more powerful than our ego, and no
