Breaths from beyond the Curtain (Shaykh Nazim, 135 pages, 5/13)

n’s creation and their designs are a hun- dred per cent different from men’s design. Traditional knowledge says that the rib bone from which Eve was formed was taken from the chest bone of Adam. Therefore, there is a area in men with no ribs. But what about for Hawwa, for women? Do they still have that naqis,”? missing, rib?
™Ttis He who forms you in the wombs [as He wills].” (3:6) “Incompleteness,

Doctor, is it the same in women, also? I am asking if that bone is the same as in men.
{The doctor replies in the affirmative.| I know! I am saying that traditional knowledge says that that rib was just taken from us [men]. Therefore, there is a space, naqis. But what about women? Why is it continuing?
Thisis a secret knowledge that Allah Almighty is show- ing for our heedless understanding, that | created from it. And no one witnessed that creation and that happening. Therefore, women’s spirituality is so high. Man’s spiritual- ity is so heavy. And women may quickly reach the highest positions in the Divine Presence; their souls are just pre- pared for that purpose. Therefore, women are closer to heavenly positions, Understand?
And the faces of heavenly beings always look, in their beauty not like men’s but like women’s beauty. Tajalli, the divine manifestation, just came at that point of creation when Allah Almighty was creating Eve from Adam's rib. Therefore, when Adam awoke and looked around, he had lost interest in everything in Paradise; nothing to look at and nothing to faladhudh,” to enjoy himself with. He was only attracted by the beauty of Eve. And beauty belongs to the Heavens and beauty is a grant from the spiritual world.
Therefore Rasul-Allah™ # was saying, “I like women, | love them. Allah is making me love them because their spirituality is so high, reaching heavenly positions, the spiri-

tual world.”® This is something secret that you have never yet heard, anyone. And therefore women are in a position of respect everywhere. You may be a king, you may be an emperor. If a maiden comes in front of him with her beauty, he may come down from his throne and respect her, and his heart will go to her heart with love, with enjoyment.
A king enjoys nothing of the material beauties in his palace, as Adam did not enjoy himself with Paradise’s grants. And he was walking up and down in Paradise as if he wanted someone else; his heart was not in satisfaction. Everything, every beauty in Paradise—jewels, gold, dia- monds, palaces, everything—did not fill his heart with pleasure. But when Eve was sitting in her beauty, then Adam was saying . . . [pause; laughter]. Hawwa, Eve, was saying .. . [another pause, more laughter]. Therefore, it is not correct for women to run after men, but men must run after women. Allahu Akbar!
People in our time are learning only external measures for everything, never asking to enter into the real wisdom of things, into their true situations. They are measuring every- thing from outside, never entering into it. Therefore, Allah Almighty sent prophets to take people inside, to call to them, “Come in. Don’t look too much at the outside of this palace, but come in and see what is in it.”
They may reach heavenly stations so quickly, women. And we see, every time, that women go to spirituality more than men, and men are mostly like rocks or wood or with- out sense—so hard a creation, men! And the Lord just cre-

ated men in such a way because the heavy burden of this life can’t be carried by a creation like that of women. There- fore, men have been created with such hard characteristics, and it is very difficult to call men to be interested in spiritu- ality, to leave material being and to run to their spiritual po- sitions,
When, where, can you say that there is equality between men and women? Such foolishness, such foolish people! For what? To grind women, to make women like men. lt is fighting against nature! You are finishing women spiritually and making them fade away if you use them for men’s work or for what men have been made miutkallaf7* what men have been ordered to do or responsibility given to them. The responsibility of men is all heavy work, to carry the heavy conditions of life as a shell protects a pearl. A pearl can't protect itself except by being in a shell, and men are like a shell for women. But they want to make the pearl like a shell.”
How can a shell be equal to a pearl? With what men- tality are they claiming this and making so many noisy statements? And it is impossible!
Responsible, authorized, commissioned, charged.
"Here, Shaykh Nazim adds humorously, “Eh, you may find a shell in the Shell Company. [Laughter.| You men go to the Shell Company. Say, ‘This company owns us, We are shells! Give us our shares. Each year you get trillions in the name of Shell Company Oil.” You must make an application for the rights of mankind to ask for your shares from the Shell Company. |Laughter.] Yes. Why not? | shall write a application to make whole world stand up and ask for shares from the Shell Company!”

May Aah Almighty give us a good understanding, to give all our thanks to Him that He granted men what He granted, and granted also to women what men do not reach. But Allah Almighty granted women to be for men, also. Therefore, the Prophet # was saying, “Allah Almighty has made me love women,” because each one of them carries a secret beauty from Beauty Oceans, That gives the hearts of men pleasure, and gives them the taste and pleasure and enjoyment of eternity. And in eternity, women are the whole of Beauty Oceans, to run in and be in. If no women, no Beauty Oceans could reach men.
May Allah forgive us! Be respectful to your wives, to women. Protect them and give them their honour. The twenty-first century’s people are not giving real, true rights and respect and love to women, and they are wrong. There- fore, Allah Almighty is going to punish the twenty-first cen- tury’s men by being killed most. If forty men are sent to death, there should be forty women for one man. Forty men are going to die and one man will remain, and forty times more women are going to be protected on earth. And those men who remain, they are those who are respectful to women, putting them in a highly respected position, forty women and one man, Forty men are going to die because they did not respect women, they did not give their true rights and respect.
The twenty-first century’s people, they are going to be punished by the death penalty. Whoever respects women, Beauty Oceans appearing and the sweetness of life coming through them; those people should remain, and others should be taken away because they are rubbish.
We are asking to be respectful to our ladies, to all women, That makes Allah Almighty happy. For the hon-

CONCERNING PREGNANCY, CHILDBIRTH AND NURSING
A‘udhu bil-Lahi min ash-Shaytani-r-rajeem. Bismillahi-r- Rahmani-r-Raheem. La hawla wa la quwwata illa bil-Lahi-I- ‘Aliyi-l-’Azheem.
People think that their lives depend on food, they think that they are not going to live if not drinking or eating, That is really imagination. Subhanallah, glory be to the Lord of the Heavens, people have such imaginings!
Does a child in the womb of its mother eat or drink any- thing? No. Itnever uses its mouth to drink or to eat, But it grows till three times forty days pass. When it is four months and ten days, that piece of flesh changes and be- comes another being.” Its organs begin to move, to act. And the sultan of the body, which is its heart, begins to pump, pumping, pumping, but still that that baby does not eat or drink. Every organ is okay and growing, growing.
“The states of creation of the fetus in the womb are mentioned in Qur‘an, 22:05, 23:14, 40:67, 75:38. BREATHSFROM BEYOND THE CURTAIN
In the womb of its mother, life begins, and the child grows without eating and drinking, not using its digestive organs. There is only a relationship to his mother, but that baby has no need to use its mouth for eating and drinking. No need for breathing, and it is in a bag full of water. Yes?
And when the Lord’s command comes, those angels in charge of the baby make that child to be in perfect form and with its own special design in no more than nine months or ten days, maybe ten months, may even be eleven months, may even be twelve months, as He likes. That baby that is created in its mother’s womb is not to be there for all time but it has a time that only He knows—the birth time, the time to come out.
Now, because of the foolishness of people, particularly physicians, they are doing something that is not for them to do, to be involved in the creation of that new one in his or her mother's womb. It is not for anyone to be involved, and to look and to say, “This is wrong, that is right. This is the opposite; that is better. This is an illness; that is healthy or ill.” Ttis not for them.
And it is also not for them to say to people, “Your preg- nancy has reached perfection, full-term. If you do not give birth soon, it will harm the baby and his mum,” making the parents afraid. And they say, “Everything is okay, and the third of February,” for example, “you must come in and we will take the baby from you.”
By force? How can you take it by force? Did you create it? Do you think that if a person comes to a factory that makes cars and says, “This car is okay, I can take it,” he will be allowed to do so? The one responsible for that factory
78
--------------- next page -----------------
will say, “Yes, it is finished, but approval must be there for each one before it goes out.”
If the person says, “No. I don’t need that. I must take it out because it is now okay. I must take it out by force,” do you think that he can take it, the chief engineer or the man- ager giving permission to him to take it out? He can’t give it, He must say, “Lastly, we must give our approval that it isa hundred per cent ready to go out.”
Now, you can’t take out a factory’s car. Then what is this foolishness for doctors, physicians, to say to a pregnant women and her husband, “We must take it now because it is just perfect’? Where is the approval? You know that it is perfect? You are only looking at the calendar and saying, “You must take itnow. If not, that new baby may die, and his mum, also.” From where are you taking the authority to say, to claim this? But people are drunk, no-mind people. They believe in doctors, physicians, not believing in Allah.
When a baby is in the womb and the last approval has been made by the heavenly beings who are preparing and creating that new baby, the Lord of Heavens sends two an- gels. “Now that My servant is ready to leave the womb of his mum and come out, look there.”
They look at the Preserved Tablet.” On the date on which divine approval comes, two angels come and they begin to take out that new servant of the Lord. One angel comes from one side, the right hand, and the second from the left hand. But that new creation, he is so happy in the
“The heavenly record of all of Allah Almighty’s decrees for all eternity. BREATHS FROM BEYOND THE CURTAIN --------------- next page -----------------
womb of his mother, and now he looks and sees his destination. He looks and sees what is really going to happen or what is going on in this world, and he does not want to And that one; the new one comes, comes, subhanallal, glory be to Allah! He was in a bag full of water, and when he comes, the midwife makes some movements over him come out. He is so happy in his mum‘s womb!
But he must come. One angel goes to catch him but he goes in another direction, and when the second wants fo catch him, he goes there, till the angels say, “O our Lord, Your servant is making us tired and we aren't able to take him out. We have finished. Our power is not enough to take him or her out.”
Then Allah Almighty says, “Leave!” And that new baby looks up, and his Lord, his Creator, yatajjala, gives @ divine manifestation to that new creature, such a divine manifestation that he isn’t able to stand up but just falls into sajdal,® prostrating to his Lord’s glory and greatness, and at that moment he gets out. Therefore, during his or her birth everyone must prostrate to his Lord, making sajdah, and in that moment he easily gets out.
Not even angels are able to get him out. But our drunk doctors are cutting and taking out.*! Who gives that author ity to man to be involved? But people are also so foolish, becoming drunk, leaving their wives in the hands of such drunk physicians, to do everything to their wives. It is the biggest, biggest sin of man to involve himself in the creation of mankind!
*Prostration,
and he begins to breathe.
Subhanallah! When beginning to breathe, life runs through his body, everywhere. Without drinking and eat- ing through his mouth, at that time he begins to breathe and wants something to use his mouth for. And he can only drink because his mouth is not yet ready with teeth for food. He only needs to suck at his mum’s breast, subhanallah!
We were saying that people think their lives depend on eating and drinking. Yes—that baby comes and begins to take his mum’s breast and drinks milk. Milk is one kind of food, and that baby drinks that milk and begins to grow from that one kind of food. The Lord of Heavens, the Crea- tor, gives life to that child, and however many organs there are, inside or outside, each one makes another kind of cells from same thing.
How many kinds of cells do we have in our body? Hundreds? Hundreds of kinds of cells, nourished only by that milk. From milk, how does that baby open and grow, all its organs, everything—brain, eyes, ears, mouth and tongue, hands; and inside, heart, liver, lungs, stomach, intes- tines—growing from milk.
What is your proof? You can think about it. A person grows up to two years only drinking, and everything grows. Then he changes and tastes something by eating food.
Do you think that that milk makes that new baby grow? First, he was drinking and eating together. A new creation in the womb, what does he drink and eat? His food is
"Referring to the fact that Caeserian section births are very common in
CGpprestiiier setrod he wena, | through blood, blood from his mum, making him grow in
her womb. We were once in that state, yes. Then, when coming out, red food finishes; changing to white food, toa white drink, and that drink makes him grow. Do you think that that milk has such power? If the heavenly order, heay- enly command from the Creator does not come, who is go- ing to grow in the womb of his mum or after birth?
Then we grow, we begin to eat and drink. Do you think that that drinking and eating is enough for you to move and do such things? What food can give you such energy that you are able to move around for twenty-four hours? Do you think that if you give a hungry person who is going to die a cup of milk or a pot of soup, drinking a cup of milk or a pot of soup will make him stand up?
What is in it? Doctor are saying, “Calories.” What are calories? That one pot of soup, how does it give a person who may be one hundred kilograms, eighty kilograms, sixty kilograms—what does that one pot of soup do to make such aheavy person move? How?
People do not think about it. They say that we eat and drink and live. But that is false. If there is no connection, which is our soul and its spirituality, running through your body, even if you drank a big potful (like the curry pot of Pakistani people), you wouldn't be able to move—you wouldn't be able to move! But still they are denying whatis beyond material aspects, not saying that there is something
else that makes men use small amounts of material things, of material food, and that they are supported by spirituality. Otherwise, they couldn't move.
An example is coming now. It is like putting one litre of petrol into aa car. But if the spark plug is not there, what is the benefit of that petrol? This secret power is through

that spark plug. If it does not give its secret power, that pet- rol does nothing. Therefore, if there does not come some- thing from Heavens that belongs to our secret being like a spark plug, even if you eat a big pot of curry or soup, it is nothing. Understand? If you eat so many tekerlek,“* so many cheeses like cars’ tires, you can’t move,
You must look and understand some wisdoms. A car can't move if the spark plug is not there. Burning—how does it burn petrol and then use it? Without that, it is im- possible. Ifno involvement, if no connection to Heavens, no one can move on earth—never! If you put a car into a pool of petrol but the spark plug is not there, it can’t move.
You understand? That is secret. Therefore, those who know this, they may take enough spirituality when they drink and eat. If not, they are like a car that has fallen into a pool of petrol but can’t move, can’t move.
Perhaps you must try to make roads, highways, atto- hahns for such cars, only to run on down below. But to go up, no! Therefore, if people do not use their spirituality, their lives are always running downward, They can’t look up. They are always asking to move downward because they see that their movements are in a down direction, never asking to go up. And there is special way, a special way for planes. Their sparks are of another kind, another power. Those who want to move up must use a different way to get up, very

powerful. If they do not use it and they use a simple rela- tionship to Heavens, they may only move on the surface of this planet but not go up. Therefore, all anbiya, prophets, and saints have such power to go up. Some people can move on the surface of this planet, but the majority are asking to run downward because they are not using a spark plug. They have fuel, they have petrol, but not that spark. Therefore, men are in need of heavenly sparks. If not, they are going to be rub-
bish. No value for them here or Hereafter.

PRIDEISONLY FOR ALLAH
Audhu bil-Laht min ash-Shaytani-r-rajeem. Bismillaht-r- Rahmani-r-Rakeem. La hawla wa la quwzwata illa bil-Lahi-I-‘Altyi-l-‘Azheem. Have you ever seen an ant being proud over other ants?
And an ant, if it is proud, what happens? Does its pride change it, does its pride do something to other ants?
If your tallness, your O Fulan, you are a tall one. height, was a reason to be proud, I think a camel would be enough. Its height is more than yours. And if you say, “I am taller than a camel,” what about a zarafa, giraffe. A gi- raffe should be much prouder than you.
If you see that your weight gives you an authority to be proud, what about an ox? I think an ox may be four or five hundred kilograms or one thousand pounds. Eh, can you reach that weight? Do you think that weight is a reason for you to be proud? No.
If you have a reason for your pride, I think no wrestler can wrestle with a bear. Do you think that anyone can wres- tle with a bear? What would happen? Do you think that your speed gives you a reason to be proud? Perhaps you

can’t catch up with a horse or even with a dog, even witha bear, even with a rabbit, or even with a kangaroo. You know the kangaroo? Have you ever seen one? Champion; too speedy! A hundred yards, and its tongue becomes like this [panting]. But a rabbit going two hundred yards never does that. A rabbit—why not put a sign around its neck that itis so speedy an animal?
You are even proud of your flights, saying, “We are fly- ing.” No! What you made can fly but you can’t fly. And man must blame himself: he can make an airplane, an in- strument, to fly, but its maker can’t fly. What is this foolish- ness? That material instrument is flying while its owner cant flyt [fhe can take a flight, he can fly with it, but by themselves, people can't fly. Why are we becoming proud that we made a flier, flying in the skies and reaching such far distances? A person must be ashamed that he is able to make a flier and that flier flies but its maker can’t fly. But people do not think about it, and they are getting proud be- cause of that instrument. He has no right to be proud that he invented and made a flying instrument from metal; it is not an honour for him. Perhaps he must be ashamed that | am making something that flies but I can’t fly.
We are speaking about ants. Ants, they are not like mankind, They are not inventors, so if one of them is proud, itis not suitable for it because nothing is given to that ant to be proud of among others.
And we are looking at mankind. Everyone is made by the same manner of creation but they are in different de- signs and everyone's appearance is different from others’. And if one of mankind is proud because of his design, eve- ryone has a reason to be proud because each person has a
86
--------------- next page -----------------
different, special design, a different creation, and no one else is made in that design. The Lord of Heavens makes man- kind not to be proud of their outward aspects, of their de- signs, because your design is different from others’ designs and everyone’s value is different from others. No way or no chance for anyone to look at himself as being above others, no. It looks like the same design, but they are actually such different designs.
The worst characteristic of our egos is to be proud, and that was the reason for Satan’s being cursed. He claimed that he was above the new creature, Adam. “I am above his creation,” he was saying, looking at himself as being more perfect. He was thinking that his world was one world and Adam's world was another, and that Adam couldn’t be above his world, where lie was. That seeing himself as being above others or as being more valuable than others, looking at himself and his creation as higher than others’ creations, that is an egoistical claim!
That is the first lesson for mankind: to learn and to know that pride makes a bad ending. You can do every- thing, but if you are a proud one, that pride carries you from the top level to the lowest level, the first lesson for mankind. Shaytan, Diabolo, was at the top point, in the station of ‘izz, honour, in the Divine Presence, but through his pride, he was just thrown down to the lowest level, falling down, the worst end for him. That was the first lesson, but | am sorry to say that, throughout the centuries, man is showing that bad characteristic.
And what happened to Shaytan is written in all holy books and mentioned in every message of Allah’s messen-
87 BREATHS FROM BEYOND THE CURTAIN
gers. From the first prophet to the last, it has been men- tioned to mankind that Shaytan was thrown out of his hon- oured station to the lowest and most dishonoured station, Man is just deceived by Shaytan, and this, being proud, isa claim of our egos. Everyone's ego wants to be Number One; everyone's ego wants to be at the top point. No one wannts to be an ordinary servant. That ordinary servant is never poing to be a proud one because servanthood tells you that you can’t be a proud person because you are a servant, Pride is for your owner.
Who is your Owner? Your Owner is your Lord, your Creator, Allah Almighty. In His Divine Presence, if you claim, “Il am proud,” you are thrown out of servanthood. No!
Therefore, throughout the centuries, particularly during the Middle Ages in Europe, among all those who lived after Jesus Christ and Christianity had come to Europe, kings and emperors came on their knees when they were crowned, kneeling in front of bishops or popes to show that I am only aservant. Even if you put a crown on my head, still I ama servant of my Lord. And they thought or believed that holy people represented the Lord’s honour and power on earth. Therefore, they came and fell on their knees, and that holy one in whom they believed put the crown on that prince ot
--------------- next page -----------------
gave a big lesson that, till you come on you knees and say, “O my Lord!” you are never going to be crowned, here or Hereafter.
Here, it is a grant from Allah Almighty for certain peo- ple to have a crown put on their heads—the lines of kings. It is also a proper line coming from Adam and Eve. That line has special aspects, a specialty for some of the children of Adam, as mentioned also among the twelve tribes of Say- yidina Ya‘qub, Jacob’s twelve sons. Among the twelve tribes, only one tribe was specialized to be kings. The tribe of Judah was specialized to be kings, just as Allah Almighty granted some of His servants’ lines on earth to be prophets, and prophethood is a specialty for one line that came from Adam up to Sayyidina Muhammad 4.
Not everyone is a prophet. A person may worship and he may do everything that he is able to do and he may reach the level of sainthood, but after sainthood he can’t be a prophet. And therefore, also for kings, a servant may do his best service for his king but he is not going to be a king. Kings lines are different.

If a maiden comes in front of him with her beauty, he may come down from his throne and respect her, and his heart will go to her heart with love, with enjoyment.
A king enjoys nothing of the material beauties in his palace, as Adam did not enjoy himself with Paradise’s grants. And he was walking up and down in Paradise as if he wanted someone else; his heart was not in satisfaction. Everything, every beauty in Paradise—jewels, gold, dia- monds, palaces, everything—did not fill his heart with pleasure. But when Eve was sitting in her beauty, then Adam was saying . . .

And those men who remain, they are those who are respectful to women, putting them in a highly respected position, forty women and one man, Forty men are going to die because they did not respect women, they did not give their true rights and respect.
The twenty-first century’s people, they are going to be punished by the death penalty. Whoever respects women, Beauty Oceans appearing and the sweetness of life coming through them; those people should remain, and others should be taken away because they are rubbish.
We are asking to be respectful to our ladies, to all women, That makes Allah Almighty happy. For the hon-

CONCERNING PREGNANCY, CHILDBIRTH AND NURSING
A‘udhu bil-Lahi min ash-Shaytani-r-rajeem. Bismillahi-r- Rahmani-r-Raheem. La hawla wa la quwwata illa bil-Lahi-I- ‘Aliyi-l-’Azheem.
People think that their lives depend on food, they think that they are not going to live if not drinking or eating, That is really imagination. Subhanallah, glory be to the Lord of the Heavens, people have such imaginings!
Does a child in the womb of its mother eat or drink any- thing? No. Itnever uses its mouth to drink or to eat, But it grows till three times forty days pass. When it is four months and ten days, that piece of flesh changes and be- comes another being.” Its organs begin to move, to act. And the sultan of the body, which is its heart, begins to pump, pumping, pumping, but still that that baby does not eat or drink. Every organ is okay and growing, growing.
“The states of creation of the fetus in the womb are mentioned in Qur‘an, 22:05, 23:14, 40:67, 75:38. BREATHSFROM BEYOND THE CURTAIN
In the womb of its mother, life begins, and the child grows without eating and drinking, not using its digestive organs. There is only a relationship to his mother, but that baby has no need to use its mouth for eating and drinking. No need for breathing, and it is in a bag full of water. Yes?
And when the Lord’s command comes, those angels in charge of the baby make that child to be in perfect form and with its own special design in no more than nine months or ten days, maybe ten months, may even be eleven months, may even be twelve months, as He likes. That baby that is created in its mother’s womb is not to be there for all time but it has a time that only He knows—the birth time, the time to come out.
Now, because of the foolishness of people, particularly physicians, they are doing something that is not for them to do, to be involved in the creation of that new one in his or her mother's womb. It is not for anyone to be involved, and to look and to say, “This is wrong, that is right. This is the opposite; that is better. This is an illness; that is healthy or ill.” Ttis not for them.
And it is also not for them to say to people, “Your preg- nancy has reached perfection, full-term. If you do not give birth soon, it will harm the baby and his mum,” making the parents afraid. And they say, “Everything is okay, and the third of February,” for example, “you must come in and we will take the baby from you.”
By force? How can you take it by force? Did you create it? Do you think that if a person comes to a factory that makes cars and says, “This car is okay, I can take it,” he will be allowed to do so? The one responsible for that factory

will say, “Yes, it is finished, but approval must be there for each one before it goes out.”
If the person says, “No. I don’t need that. I must take it out because it is now okay. I must take it out by force,” do you think that he can take it, the chief engineer or the man- ager giving permission to him to take it out? He can’t give it, He must say, “Lastly, we must give our approval that it isa hundred per cent ready to go out.”
Now, you can’t take out a factory’s car. Then what is this foolishness for doctors, physicians, to say to a pregnant women and her husband, “We must take it now because it is just perfect’? Where is the approval? You know that it is perfect? You are only looking at the calendar and saying, “You must take itnow. If not, that new baby may die, and his mum, also.” From where are you taking the authority to say, to claim this? But people are drunk, no-mind people. They believe in doctors, physicians, not believing in Allah.
When a baby is in the womb and the last approval has been made by the heavenly beings who are preparing and creating that new baby, the Lord of Heavens sends two an- gels. “Now that My servant is ready to leave the womb of his mum and come out, look there.”
They look at the Preserved Tablet.” On the date on which divine approval comes, two angels come and they begin to take out that new servant of the Lord. One angel comes from one side, the right hand, and the second from the left hand. But that new creation, he is so happy in the
“The heavenly record of all of Allah Almighty’s decrees for all eternity. BREATHS FROM BEYOND THE CURTAIN --------------- next page -----------------
womb of his mother, and now he looks and sees his destination. He looks and sees what is really going to happen or what is going on in this world, and he does not want to And that one; the new one comes, comes, subhanallal, glory be to Allah! He was in a bag full of water, and when he comes, the midwife makes some movements over him come out. He is so happy in his mum‘s womb!
But he must come. One angel goes to catch him but he goes in another direction, and when the second wants fo catch him, he goes there, till the angels say, “O our Lord, Your servant is making us tired and we aren't able to take him out. We have finished. Our power is not enough to take him or her out.”
Then Allah Almighty says, “Leave!” And that new baby looks up, and his Lord, his Creator, yatajjala, gives @ divine manifestation to that new creature, such a divine manifestation that he isn’t able to stand up but just falls into sajdal,® prostrating to his Lord’s glory and greatness, and at that moment he gets out. Therefore, during his or her birth everyone must prostrate to his Lord, making sajdah, and in that moment he easily gets out.
Not even angels are able to get him out. But our drunk doctors are cutting and taking out.*! Who gives that author ity to man to be involved? But people are also so foolish, becoming drunk, leaving their wives in the hands of such drunk physicians, to do everything to their wives. It is the biggest, biggest sin of man to involve himself in the creation of mankind!
*Prostration,
and he begins to breathe.
Subhanallah! When beginning to breathe, life runs through his body, everywhere. Without drinking and eat- ing through his mouth, at that time he begins to breathe and wants something to use his mouth for. And he can only drink because his mouth is not yet ready with teeth for food. He only needs to suck at his mum’s breast, subhanallah!
We were saying that people think their lives depend on eating and drinking. Yes—that baby comes and begins to take his mum’s breast and drinks milk. Milk is one kind of food, and that baby drinks that milk and begins to grow from that one kind of food. The Lord of Heavens, the Crea- tor, gives life to that child, and however many organs there are, inside or outside, each one makes another kind of cells from same thing.
How many kinds of cells do we have in our body? Hundreds? Hundreds of kinds of cells, nourished only by that milk. From milk, how does that baby open and grow, all its organs, everything—brain, eyes, ears, mouth and tongue, hands; and inside, heart, liver, lungs, stomach, intes- tines—growing from milk.
What is your proof? You can think about it. A person grows up to two years only drinking, and everything grows. Then he changes and tastes something by eating food.
Do you think that that milk makes that new baby grow? First, he was drinking and eating together. A new creation in the womb, what does he drink and eat? His food is
"Referring to the fact that Caeserian section births are very common in

her womb. We were once in that state, yes. Then, when coming out, red food finishes; changing to white food, toa white drink, and that drink makes him grow. Do you think that that milk has such power? If the heavenly order, heay- enly command from the Creator does not come, who is go- ing to grow in the womb of his mum or after birth?
Then we grow, we begin to eat and drink. Do you think that that drinking and eating is enough for you to move and do such things? What food can give you such energy that you are able to move around for twenty-four hours? Do you think that if you give a hungry person who is going to die a cup of milk or a pot of soup, drinking a cup of milk or a pot of soup will make him stand up?
What is in it? Doctor are saying, “Calories.” What are calories? That one pot of soup, how does it give a person who may be one hundred kilograms, eighty kilograms, sixty kilograms—what does that one pot of soup do to make such aheavy person move? How?
People do not think about it. They say that we eat and drink and live. But that is false. If there is no connection, which is our soul and its spirituality, running through your body, even if you drank a big potful (like the curry pot of Pakistani people), you wouldn't be able to move—you wouldn't be able to move! But still they are denying whatis beyond material aspects, not saying that there is something
else that makes men use small amounts of material things, of material food, and that they are supported by spirituality. Otherwise, they couldn't move.
An example is coming now. It is like putting one litre of petrol into aa car. But if the spark plug is not there, what is the benefit of that petrol? This secret power is through

that spark plug. If it does not give its secret power, that pet- rol does nothing. Therefore, if there does not come some- thing from Heavens that belongs to our secret being like a spark plug, even if you eat a big pot of curry or soup, it is nothing. Understand? If you eat so many tekerlek,“* so many cheeses like cars’ tires, you can’t move,
You must look and understand some wisdoms. A car can't move if the spark plug is not there. Burning—how does it burn petrol and then use it? Without that, it is im- possible. Ifno involvement, if no connection to Heavens, no one can move on earth—never! If you put a car into a pool of petrol but the spark plug is not there, it can’t move.
You understand? That is secret. Therefore, those who know this, they may take enough spirituality when they drink and eat. If not, they are like a car that has fallen into a pool of petrol but can’t move, can’t move.
Perhaps you must try to make roads, highways, atto- hahns for such cars, only to run on down below. But to go up, no! Therefore, if people do not use their spirituality, their lives are always running downward, They can’t look up. They are always asking to move downward because they see that their movements are in a down direction, never asking to go up. And there is special way, a special way for planes. Their sparks are of another kind, another power. Those who want to move up must use a different way to get up, very

powerful. If they do not use it and they use a simple rela- tionship to Heavens, they may only move on the surface of this planet but not go up. Therefore, all anbiya, prophets, and saints have such power to go up. Some people can move on the surface of this planet, but the majority are asking to run downward because they are not using a spark plug. They have fuel, they have petrol, but not that spark. Therefore, men are in need of heavenly sparks. If not, they are going to be rub-
bish. No value for them here or Hereafter.

PRIDEISONLY FOR ALLAH
Audhu bil-Laht min ash-Shaytani-r-rajeem. Bismillaht-r- Rahmani-r-Rakeem. La hawla wa la quwzwata illa bil-Lahi-I-‘Altyi-l-‘Azheem. Have you ever seen an ant being proud over other ants?
And an ant, if it is proud, what happens? Does its pride change it, does its pride do something to other ants?
If your tallness, your O Fulan, you are a tall one. height, was a reason to be proud, I think a camel would be enough. Its height is more than yours. And if you say, “I am taller than a camel,” what about a zarafa, giraffe. A gi- raffe should be much prouder than you.
If you see that your weight gives you an authority to be proud, what about an ox? I think an ox may be four or five hundred kilograms or one thousand pounds. Eh, can you reach that weight? Do you think that weight is a reason for you to be proud? No.
If you have a reason for your pride, I think no wrestler can wrestle with a bear. Do you think that anyone can wres- tle with a bear? What would happen? Do you think that your speed gives you a reason to be proud? Perhaps you

can’t catch up with a horse or even with a dog, even witha bear, even with a rabbit, or even with a kangaroo. You know the kangaroo? Have you ever seen one? Champion; too speedy! A hundred yards, and its tongue becomes like this [panting]. But a rabbit going two hundred yards never does that. A rabbit—why not put a sign around its neck that itis so speedy an animal?
You are even proud of your flights, saying, “We are fly- ing.” No! What you made can fly but you can’t fly. And man must blame himself: he can make an airplane, an in- strument, to fly, but its maker can’t fly. What is this foolish- ness? That material instrument is flying while its owner cant flyt [fhe can take a flight, he can fly with it, but by themselves, people can't fly. Why are we becoming proud that we made a flier, flying in the skies and reaching such far distances? A person must be ashamed that he is able to make a flier and that flier flies but its maker can’t fly. But people do not think about it, and they are getting proud be- cause of that instrument. He has no right to be proud that he invented and made a flying instrument from metal; it is not an honour for him. Perhaps he must be ashamed that | am making something that flies but I can’t fly.
We are speaking about ants. Ants, they are not like mankind, They are not inventors, so if one of them is proud, itis not suitable for it because nothing is given to that ant to be proud of among others.
And we are looking at mankind. Everyone is made by the same manner of creation but they are in different de- signs and everyone's appearance is different from others’. And if one of mankind is proud because of his design, eve- ryone has a reason to be proud because each person has a
86
--------------- next page -----------------
different, special design, a different creation, and no one else is made in that design. The Lord of Heavens makes man- kind not to be proud of their outward aspects, of their de- signs, because your design is different from others’ designs and everyone’s value is different from others. No way or no chance for anyone to look at himself as being above others, no. It looks like the same design, but they are actually such different designs.
The worst characteristic of our egos is to be proud, and that was the reason for Satan’s being cursed. He claimed that he was above the new creature, Adam. “I am above his creation,” he was saying, looking at himself as being more perfect. He was thinking that his world was one world and Adam's world was another, and that Adam couldn’t be above his world, where lie was. That seeing himself as being above others or as being more valuable than others, looking at himself and his creation as higher than others’ creations, that is an egoistical claim!
That is the first lesson for mankind: to learn and to know that pride makes a bad ending. You can do every- thing, but if you are a proud one, that pride carries you from the top level to the lowest level, the first lesson for mankind. Shaytan, Diabolo, was at the top point, in the station of ‘izz, honour, in the Divine Presence, but through his pride, he was just thrown down to the lowest level, falling down, the worst end for him. That was the first lesson, but | am sorry to say that, throughout the centuries, man is showing that bad characteristic.
And what happened to Shaytan is written in all holy books and mentioned in every message of Allah’s messen-
87 BREATHS FROM BEYOND THE CURTAIN
gers. From the first prophet to the last, it has been men- tioned to mankind that Shaytan was thrown out of his hon- oured station to the lowest and most dishonoured station, Man is just deceived by Shaytan, and this, being proud, isa claim of our egos. Everyone's ego wants to be Number One; everyone's ego wants to be at the top point. No one wannts to be an ordinary servant. That ordinary servant is never poing to be a proud one because servanthood tells you that you can’t be a proud person because you are a servant, Pride is for your owner.
Who is your Owner? Your Owner is your Lord, your Creator, Allah Almighty. In His Divine Presence, if you claim, “Il am proud,” you are thrown out of servanthood. No!
Therefore, throughout the centuries, particularly during the Middle Ages in Europe, among all those who lived after Jesus Christ and Christianity had come to Europe, kings and emperors came on their knees when they were crowned, kneeling in front of bishops or popes to show that I am only aservant. Even if you put a crown on my head, still I ama servant of my Lord. And they thought or believed that holy people represented the Lord’s honour and power on earth. Therefore, they came and fell on their knees, and that holy one in whom they believed put the crown on that prince ot
--------------- next page -----------------
gave a big lesson that, till you come on you knees and say, “O my Lord!” you are never going to be crowned, here or Hereafter.
Here, it is a grant from Allah Almighty for certain peo- ple to have a crown put on their heads—the lines of kings. It is also a proper line coming from Adam and Eve. That line has special aspects, a specialty for some of the children of Adam, as mentioned also among the twelve tribes of Say- yidina Ya‘qub, Jacob’s twelve sons. Among the twelve tribes, only one tribe was specialized to be kings. The tribe of Judah was specialized to be kings, just as Allah Almighty granted some of His servants’ lines on earth to be prophets, and prophethood is a specialty for one line that came from Adam up to Sayyidina Muhammad 4.
Not everyone is a prophet. A person may worship and he may do everything that he is able to do and he may reach the level of sainthood, but after sainthood he can’t be a prophet. And therefore, also for kings, a servant may do his best service for his king but he is not going to be a king. Kings lines are different.
Shaytan knows this. “If 1 can change it, 1 may collapse t
