Breaths from beyond the Curtain (Shaykh Nazim, 135 pages, 7/13)

And the most important point now is to run after Satan and his armies and after devils, to take from them what they are stealing from man as they are stealing it and running away. All prophets tried to do this, but Shaytan and his as- sistants and agents and armies are always deceiving people and making them not look after such a precious diamond, making them forget it. And now all mankind, perhaps ninety-nine per cent, do not know that their most precious diamond has been stolen, no.
107 BREATHSFROM BEYOND THECURTAIN
This is a humble meeting. We are trying to make peo- ple wake up—to see, to know, to recognize, and to ask, “What have we lost? Which thing has been stolen from us?" But it is such a humble meeting.
And you must be, everyone, helpers to prophets to be awake concerning Satan, not to let him steal your most pre- cious diamond, and also to help people whose diamonds have been stolen. You must run to help people reach and take back their most precious grant that has been stolen by Shaytan and his descendants. To do that is the most hon- oured worship for the Lord of Heavens. He should be so happy and pleased with you.
Therefore, He is ordering, “O My servants, you must try to be with true ones." Those true ones, if you are going to be with them, they may be able bring back to you your most precious diamond that has been stolen. Don’t leave them!”
But now people have left true ones. They are following liars. We are haggani; that means “truth defenders.” We are defending truth and we are asking for true ones. And we are looking and seeing that the salvation of mankind, here and Hereafter, is to be with true ones and to be truth de- fenders.
May Allah forgive me and bless you. For the honour of the most honoured and most true one among mankind, Sayyidina Muhammad #—Fateha! A
Be with the true ones." (9:19)

SEEKING LIMITLESS LEVELS IN THE DIVINE PRESENCE
A’udhu bil-Lahi min ash-Shaytani-r-rajim. Bismillahi-r- Rahmani-r-Raheem. La hawla wa la quwwata illa bil-Lahi-l- ‘Aliyi--'Azheem.
{A peal of thunder. In keeping with the Prophet's Sun- rik, Shaykh Nazim recites] “Wa yusabbihu-r-r‘adu bi- hamdihi, wal-mala‘ikatuhu min khifatihi. Wa Huwa ‘ala kullishayin gar.
It is an Association, and Association helps people. If they are doing wrong or going in the wrong direction, it brings them to the right direction. Association helps pil- grims if they have lost their way in deserts, making them find their way to reach their goals.
"4nd the thunder exalts [Allah] with His praise, and the angels, due to fear of Him’ (1313), “And He ts powerful over all things.” (2:20 and numeous other Verses )
109 BREATHSFROM BEYOND THECURTAIN
And subkanallah li kulli insan, for every person, there is agoal. “Subhana man ‘quwana kulli qalbin ma yushghaluhu."® Allah Almighty gives something to everyone's heart to think about and to want to reach his goal. Here, there may bea hundred persons. Everyone’s heart goes in another direc- tion, everyone thinks something different. It is impossible for two people's hearts to be on the same goal.
People may be occupied by trying to be an MLP. Itis okay. Ifa hundred people or a thousand people want to be MPs, doesn’t matter. But behind it, what they are suggest- ing is, “When | am an M-P., what am I thinking of doing, what is my goal by trying to be an M.P.?” Therefore, every- one’s heart is just occupied by a different goal. That means that everyone has some goal to reach and everyone is trying to find a way to his goal.
Now, we are simple servants, and we are like people wandering in a huge desert, scattered, not knowing. All these people are finding themselves in that huge desert— hundreds, thousands, millions and billions of people, com- ing together and asking, “What are we going to do?”
Therefore, the Lord of Heavens is sending to those wandering people and calling them, “Come! O people, come and join with Me or with My followers. We shall take you to your true goal,” because goals are real, true ones or imitation ones. Calling them, “Come with Us! We shall take you out of this huge desert to your true goals, true aspects.”
"Glory be to Him who supports every heart in doing that which pre- occupies it

As we said, everyone thinks something about the true, real goals that belong to our real being. Our real being, our spirituality, will never vanish or finish. And our goals, also, real goals, are never going to be lost or stolen, never going to lose their value. They belong to eternal life, up to eternity.
But the imitation goals that most people now are run- ning after, those belong to our physical being, and our physical being enjoys itself when it reaches such cheap and imitation goals. Therefore, people’s feelings are making them run toward those goals because their physical beings’ five senses are just in touch with their imitation goals.
Real goals are beyond their goals. First, they are getting in touch with their physical beings’ wishes, their physical desires, and they are thinking that the real desire or real aim of their being is to reach those goals. That means physical desires. And when you say, “O people, beware! O people, don't be deceived, because you are not the first ones who have lost those cheap goals, imitation goals,” quickly, when their physical being is destroyed and finishes, they find that they have reached nothing because our physical being’s goal and pleasure is in fulfilling physical desires. But from the age of majority, it begins to become less, less, less, less, till coming to the point of zero.
They are looking and seeing that, but shaytanic adver- tising, shaytanic teachings, are always deceiving mankind and saying, “No! You must continue on that way to reach your never-ending desires,” promising them to reach the fulfillment of never-ending desires. But finally, at their last breath, their mouth open and their eyes closing, at that time they understand that they have been cheated. At that mo- ment, they understand that they have lost everything; at
111 BREATHS FROM BEYOND THE CURTAIN
that time they understand that they have reached zero, nothing. But no chance for them to come back again for a new beginning. Such people, even if they were to be brought here again, they would do the same thing. If asking a third time to come and reach the real aspects of their life, their physical desires and five senses would just occupy them and close down the lights in their minds and extinguish the lights of faith in their hearts so they wouldn’t be able to see real goals, because material aspects and physical desires are imprisoning souls, and souls aren’t able to reach their real goals within that person.
And the Lord of Heavens sent us His chosen servants who are in connection with Heavens to remind His servants, “O people, you must not be deceived by looking at imitation goals as a permanent enjoyment, a permanent aspect for yourself, but you must come and look at your real aspects in this life so that you will find your real goals in Heavens, not on earth.”
Those who are asking and trying to find their real goals on earth, they are going to be rubbish. Finally, they are go- ing be dust, and their souls are going to be imprisoned in the darkest of dark worlds because they will be closer to the areas of darkness, the worlds of darkness, when they are under the earth. They should be imprisoned, their physical being dust and their souls imprisoned in dark worlds under the earth, those who are running after imitation and temporary goals.
Therefore, Allah Almighty sent His chosen ones to make people know this point and to show them the ways of Heavens, and all religions are showing the ways to Heav-

ens. And in the Heavens, fariqahs''> are different ways and lines for people. According to their ability or capacity or their inner manifestation, they should reach different levels in the Heavens.
And the number of levels in the Heavens has no lim- its—unlimited, no end, no final position for mankind. Each fime a person asks for more, he should be granted more be- cause those are the real, true goals that belong to our souls, and our souls will never vanish or finish. But our physical being is going to be dust, buried underground and finish- ing. And the souls of the people whose goals were on earth should be imprisoned in Sijjeen;"'4 they should be there.
And those who are asking for real, true goals that be- long to their souls, they should reach, one after another, unlimited levels in the Divine Presence. According, to their sevanthood, they should be more and more pleased and in pleasure, and they should swim, they should dive, into streams of light, reaching unlimited Light Oceans. And Al- lah Almighty grants all kinds of Oceans that have no limits to His servants who keep His glorious service in His Divine Presence. They should be under His divine dominion for eemity, and nothing can describe their honour by being sevants of the Lord of Heavens, whose dominion no one knows.
Therefore, the Lord of Heavens wants to make His ser- vants come to Him. “Wal-Lahu yad‘ua ila dari-s-salam.”""5 “Come to Me!” Allah Almighty is saying. “I am inviting

you to Me, to Me, to Me, to Me! You should find Me; if you are asking for Me, you should find Me. Whoever finds Me, he is for Me. And My Mercy Oceans, Light Oceans and countless Glory Oceans under My divine dominion, they should be for you, free for you, because you chose Me and wanted Me, and I accepted you. You should be for Me. You sacrificed your existence, and finished. You are under My divine dominion’s Oceans.”
No finding “Ana, anta.'""° I am here, You are there”; no. It is magam fana fil-Lah and fani fil-Lah and bagi bil-Lah. That person sacrificed himself, and Allah Almighty grants him from His divine blessings that make that one be with Him, under His unknown dominions, never-ending Blessing Oceans, never-ending Beauty Oceans, never-ending Mercy Oceans, never-ending, never-ending, never-ending Oceans, Oceans, Oceans, countless Oceans!
That is the goal, not this world’s rubbish. But people are just deceived by Satan, and they are running after rub- bish and running to the dustbin to look, to find something, while the Sultan is inviting them: “Come to Me! I shall give you something that no one has seen, no one heard of, no one knows.”1!?
But people are saying, “No, we are not in need of that. We are looking in the dustbin, what there is to take.” And they have lost their ways and they have lost what they should be granted by their Lord.

A’udhu bil-Lahi min ash-Shaytani-r-rajeem. — Bismillahi-r- Rahmani-r-Rakeem. La hawla wa la quiwwata illa bil-Lahi-l- ‘Aliyi-l-'Azheem.
That lamp is a good lamp. Why? It shines. If it does not shine, we will throw it away, useless; we will not keep it inside. It will be useless because it does not shine, throwing it in the dustbin. And mankind now, all of them who are shining should be accepted. If not shining, they will be thrown away in the dustbin.
And Allah Almighty is saying, “I sent to you, O man- kind, from My divine lights from Heavens. Why are you not taking them—why? Coming to Me without shining, without lights? Take this and put it in the dustbin!”
That was the mission of all prophets. They brought heavenly lights because men are in darkness here; they need lights. Those who are escaping from lights, they are run- ning after Shaytan, and Shaytan and his followers must be thrown into darkness, dark worlds. Shining worlds and dark worlds—Heavens are full of lights and dark worlds are in darkness. You can choose your way.

Therefore, Allah Almighty was saying to His Prophet *, "OMy beloved one, don’t be worried about people or don’t force them;'"* don’t force them to accept what you are bring- ing. If they do not see light and darkness, leave them. I like those who accept what | am sending of lights. Whoever ac- cepts My gift of lights, that one is for Me. If they do not pre- fer or choose lights, heavenly lights, leave them. They have dark worlds. I will send them there.”
And underground, so many, so many hasharat, insects, live in darkness and they are happy there. If you bring them out, foreing them to come out, they can’t live, no; they don't like it. Therefore, leave them. If they prefer or choose tobe like spiders or scorpions or forty-legged insects and so many other hasharat, leave them. Don’t run after them be- cause they are such foolish ones.
“They are not fakdir etmek, appreciating, My grants to them. I granted them minds, but My biggest grant to them, tomankind, that | never gave to other creatures, is will. I have not given it to anyone else.”
Even angels have no will. Angels are fully, one hun- dred per cent intelligent creations, but without will. They are under His will, never coming out. And the animal world's members were not granted will or mind. But man- kind have been granted minds to think, to know, to learn, and then to do.
To do anything, you need will, and Allah Almighty granted us will so that we may choose anything we like. And He put in front of mankind so many things so that they may prefer one of them, good things or bad things.
"Sw .176: 5:41 [5:44 in Yusuf Ali’s translation]; 7:188; 10:65, 99: 36:76,
117 BREATHS FROM BEYOND THE CURTAIN
You may drink water, you may drink whisky. It is for you to decide. The one who drinks water is using his mind and good will power, but those who drink drinks like whisky and other alcoholic drinks are not using their minds, and they are using their good will as a bad will and drinking.
Itis forbidden. Anything that the Lord of Heavens has forbidden or made prohibited is for our benefit; finally, ul- timately, we should be happy. But those who are not listen- ing to what Allah Almighty is offering to them, they think that what is prohibited is a good thing but forbidden.
Nothing of the sort! The Lord of Heavens never makes something forbidden if it gives benefit to mankind. Say, Europeans, Americans, the most civilized people—can you say that Allah made some things forbidden while they were or are for the benefit of mankind? They can’t say so! They must be drunk people to say that, and a drunk person is a no-mind person. What he is doing is all wrong.
Therefore, people to whom Allah Almighty, our Crea- tor, our Lord, granted minds to think and will power to force our physical being to do or to make or to keep some ules, it is the biggest grant from Allah Almighty. And when prophets came, they were representatives of Heavens, coming and calling, “O people!” Only prophets said, “O people, use your minds! We are asking from you to use your minds, nothing else.
When people reach the age of maturity, they are not mukallaf, responsible, because at that age their minds are not perfect. Perfection begins at that age. Then Allah Almighty says, “O My servant, look! I have now granted you every- thing and you have reached the first step of your maturity.

Your mind is sufficient to understand what I have sent to you from My heavenly orders. I am saying to you, ‘Aslim. Surrender to Me, surrender to Me!’”
All prophets came and called people and said to them, “Opeople, come and surrender to your Lord.”
And people were saying, “Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! What is this? Who is that One that you are telling us we must sur- render to? Where is He? We can’t see Him.”
“Eh, you can’t see your Lord.”
“We have so many idols, statues. We should ask them. Ifthey say ‘Yes,’ we may follow you.”
‘Where are your idols? Coming from Heavens?”
"No, We are making, from stone, from wood, wooden idols, iron idols, and silver idols or golden idols or idols of jewels, We may ask them. If they say “Yes,” we may sur- render to you.”
Oh-ho-ho! People are not using their minds. They are too drunk to think about such points. They are not free to think about it because they are busy, so busy. I am asking, “Why are you not thinking about it?”
And Americans are saying “No, no, Shaykh. We are very busy.”
“With what?”
"Because we are doing research on Mars. We are re- searching what is there.”

parade because earth people have come to us,” making a parade to welcome them. “None of them has come, no one!”
I am asking, “Have you finished with the earth so that you want to reach Mars? What is there?”
“No. We are so busy! No time for us to surrender to Someone. We want a free land like Mars. Nothing is there. “Better! Perhaps they are afraid and running into caves.
We should be free! No one will call us, ‘Come and surren- der’—to be Jewish, to be Christian, to be Anglican, to be Or- thodox, to be Catholic, to be Jesuit, to be Muslim. No one will ask us to surrender. We must run to that place!”
For a thousand years people have been thinking that there must be some live ones on Mars, Since centuries they were claiming that there are at least some live people, not close to our being but similar. “We must reach them to make them allies, to help us against the Chinese people [laughter] because they are so many, or against the Indian people; they are also one billion.”
Finally, finally, they are making a competition, The Russians are saying, “We must hurry to land on it before the Americans. Why should the Americans put their flag on it? We must reach first, we must put our flag on it,” and they are preparing to send their rocket. The Americans are very clever, waiting to see what will happen. And the Russians are saying that they needs three or four months to prepare.
Then going. When reaching there, because their brakes are not very strong, they can’t land on it—destroyed! The Americans are looking. “Ah, we must be patient to see what happened to them. They disappeared. We must order our rocket, also, to land.”
“Slow, slow; a smooth landing! When slowly landing, we will look.” And they landed and said, “Oh-h, so happy!” But some of them were very sad. “We were ex- pecting that they would come with their armies to make a
120
We must be very careful about that.”
And they are running to be there, not to surrender to anyone but to be free, a hundred per cent free—a free land, free people, because on earth so many things are making them not to be free. No freedom on earth, and people are always saying, “O people, come and surrender.”
“There, no one is calling us to surrender. We should be ahundred per cent free.” And they are running there to be fre, while on earth they were so unhappy because all the prophets were coming to them and saying, “O people, come and surrender!” And our egos never like to surrender.
When Allah created ego and asked it, “Who are you? Who am 1?” its answer was “I am I, You are You,” never saying “I am Your weak servant and You are my Lord.” The first argument just began at the beginning of our egos’ creation, and it is continuing. Every time, our egos want freedom, freedom. That means no one is over us to ask us to surrender to Him and His orders.
That is the main reason why people are running away ‘fom religions, from faith, from beliefs. They are trying to change every religion according to their mind- productions, acording to their minds, according to their physical desires. But every, every, belief from Heavens has come to make people surrender to their Lord, not to surrender to their (20s, because ego is, in everyone, the representative of Shay-

tan, and Shaytan is never happy that people should surren- der to their Lord and become His servants.
Shaytan wants to deceive people, and he is saying to them, “You must try to be free ones. Don’t believe in any- thing with the name of religion or prophethood or holy books, Don’t accept it! Instead, you must reject it and you must be free ones,” until now they are the twenty-first cen- tury’s people, running in the streets and roads, and de- manding, “More freedom! More freedom!”
What, what? What should that more freedom be? For what are they asking? They do not know. They are shout- ing, making demonstrations everywhere and demanding more freedom, more freedom. What is “more freedom’? No one can understand, but Shaytan is making them dem- onstrate and make those never-ending troubles and prob- lems on earth by always asking for freedom.
What more freedom should the government be able to give? What they are giving is in limits, also, because, after that limit, their own position is going to be in danger. Therefore, they are saying, “No. No more! You do every- thing you want, but don’t come to us and say, ‘We are ask- ing for more freedom. You get down! We should sit there in your place,"
All prophets came on the same point, to call people, saying, “O people, use your minds and surrender to your Creator, to your Lord. You should be good ones; you should be rewarded with a happy life, a peaceful life. When you surrender to His commands, you should be respected, you should be honoured.” But people are never thinking about it.

Arabs have a good saying, “Jittaram nafsak.”''"° You un- derstand?

To be carried there, to be im- prisoned, it is not an honour for them; to be kicked, to be hit, itisnotan honour. Keep your honour, keep your respect fom being touched, because you have been created as a re- spected one and the most honoured one among creatures. Why are you making yourself lose that respect? That is the reason.

All prophets tried to do this, but Shaytan and his as- sistants and agents and armies are always deceiving people and making them not look after such a precious diamond, making them forget it.

As we said, everyone thinks something about the true, real goals that belong to our real being. Our real being, our spirituality, will never vanish or finish. And our goals, also, real goals, are never going to be lost or stolen, never going to lose their value. They belong to eternal life, up to eternity.
But the imitation goals that most people now are run- ning after, those belong to our physical being, and our physical being enjoys itself when it reaches such cheap and imitation goals. Therefore, people’s feelings are making them run toward those goals because their physical beings’ five senses are just in touch with their imitation goals.
Real goals are beyond their goals. First, they are getting in touch with their physical beings’ wishes, their physical desires, and they are thinking that the real desire or real aim of their being is to reach those goals. That means physical desires. And when you say, “O people, beware! O people, don't be deceived, because you are not the first ones who have lost those cheap goals, imitation goals,” quickly, when their physical being is destroyed and finishes, they find that they have reached nothing because our physical being’s goal and pleasure is in fulfilling physical desires. But from the age of majority, it begins to become less, less, less, less, till coming to the point of zero.
They are looking and seeing that, but shaytanic adver- tising, shaytanic teachings, are always deceiving mankind and saying, “No! You must continue on that way to reach your never-ending desires,” promising them to reach the fulfillment of never-ending desires. But finally, at their last breath, their mouth open and their eyes closing, at that time they understand that they have been cheated. At that mo- ment, they understand that they have lost everything; at
111 BREATHS FROM BEYOND THE CURTAIN
that time they understand that they have reached zero, nothing. But no chance for them to come back again for a new beginning. Such people, even if they were to be brought here again, they would do the same thing. If asking a third time to come and reach the real aspects of their life, their physical desires and five senses would just occupy them and close down the lights in their minds and extinguish the lights of faith in their hearts so they wouldn’t be able to see real goals, because material aspects and physical desires are imprisoning souls, and souls aren’t able to reach their real goals within that person.
And the Lord of Heavens sent us His chosen servants who are in connection with Heavens to remind His servants, “O people, you must not be deceived by looking at imitation goals as a permanent enjoyment, a permanent aspect for yourself, but you must come and look at your real aspects in this life so that you will find your real goals in Heavens, not on earth.”
Those who are asking and trying to find their real goals on earth, they are going to be rubbish. Finally, they are go- ing be dust, and their souls are going to be imprisoned in the darkest of dark worlds because they will be closer to the areas of darkness, the worlds of darkness, when they are under the earth. They should be imprisoned, their physical being dust and their souls imprisoned in dark worlds under the earth, those who are running after imitation and temporary goals.
Therefore, Allah Almighty sent His chosen ones to make people know this point and to show them the ways of Heavens, and all religions are showing the ways to Heav-

ens. And in the Heavens, fariqahs''> are different ways and lines for people. According to their ability or capacity or their inner manifestation, they should reach different levels in the Heavens.
And the number of levels in the Heavens has no lim- its—unlimited, no end, no final position for mankind. Each fime a person asks for more, he should be granted more be- cause those are the real, true goals that belong to our souls, and our souls will never vanish or finish. But our physical being is going to be dust, buried underground and finish- ing. And the souls of the people whose goals were on earth should be imprisoned in Sijjeen;"'4 they should be there.
And those who are asking for real, true goals that be- long to their souls, they should reach, one after another, unlimited levels in the Divine Presence. According, to their sevanthood, they should be more and more pleased and in pleasure, and they should swim, they should dive, into streams of light, reaching unlimited Light Oceans. And Al- lah Almighty grants all kinds of Oceans that have no limits to His servants who keep His glorious service in His Divine Presence. They should be under His divine dominion for eemity, and nothing can describe their honour by being sevants of the Lord of Heavens, whose dominion no one knows.
Therefore, the Lord of Heavens wants to make His ser- vants come to Him. “Wal-Lahu yad‘ua ila dari-s-salam.”""5 “Come to Me!” Allah Almighty is saying. “I am inviting

you to Me, to Me, to Me, to Me! You should find Me; if you are asking for Me, you should find Me. Whoever finds Me, he is for Me. And My Mercy Oceans, Light Oceans and countless Glory Oceans under My divine dominion, they should be for you, free for you, because you chose Me and wanted Me, and I accepted you. You should be for Me. You sacrificed your existence, and finished. You are under My divine dominion’s Oceans.”
No finding “Ana, anta.'""° I am here, You are there”; no. It is magam fana fil-Lah and fani fil-Lah and bagi bil-Lah. That person sacrificed himself, and Allah Almighty grants him from His divine blessings that make that one be with Him, under His unknown dominions, never-ending Blessing Oceans, never-ending Beauty Oceans, never-ending Mercy Oceans, never-ending, never-ending, never-ending Oceans, Oceans, Oceans, countless Oceans!
That is the goal, not this world’s rubbish. But people are just deceived by Satan, and they are running after rub- bish and running to the dustbin to look, to find something, while the Sultan is inviting them: “Come to Me! I shall give you something that no one has seen, no one heard of, no one knows.”1!?
But people are saying, “No, we are not in need of that. We are looking in the dustbin, what there is to take.” And they have lost their ways and they have lost what they should be granted by their Lord.

That lamp is a good lamp. Why? It shines. If it does not shine, we will throw it away, useless; we will not keep it inside. It will be useless because it does not shine, throwing it in the dustbin. And mankind now, all of them who are shining should be accepted. If not shining, they will be thrown away in the dustbin.
And Allah Almighty is saying, “I sent to you, O man- kind, from My divine lights from Heavens. Why are you not taking them—why? Coming to Me without shining, without lights? Take this and put it in the dustbin!”
That was the mission of all prophets. They brought heavenly lights because men are in darkness here; they need lights. Those who are escaping from lights, they are run- ning after Shaytan, and Shaytan and his followers must be thrown into darkness, dark worlds. Shining worlds and dark worlds—Heavens are full of lights and dark worlds are in darkness. You can choose your way.

Therefore, Allah Almighty was saying to His Prophet *, "OMy beloved one, don’t be worried about people or don’t force them;'"* don’t force them to accept what you are bring- ing. If they do not see light and darkness, leave them. I like those who accept what | am sending of lights. Whoever ac- cepts My gift of lights, that one is for Me. If they do not pre- fer or choose lights, heavenly lights, leave them. They have dark worlds. I will send them there.”
And underground, so many, so many hasharat, insects, live in darkness and they are happy there. If you bring them out, foreing them to come out, they can’t live, no; they don't like it. Therefore, leave them. If they prefer or choose tobe like spiders or scorpions or forty-legged insects and so many other hasharat, leave them. Don’t run after them be- cause they are such foolish ones.
“They are not fakdir etmek, appreciating, My grants to them. I granted them minds, but My biggest grant to them, tomankind, that | never gave to other creatures, is will. I have not given it to anyone else.”
Even angels have no will. Angels are fully, one hun- dred per cent intelligent creations, but without will. They are under His will, never coming out. And the animal world's members were not granted will or mind. But man- kind have been granted minds to think, to know, to learn, and then to do.
To do anything, you need will, and Allah Almighty granted us will so that we may choose anything we like. And He put in front of mankind so many things so that they may prefer one of them, good things or bad things.
"Sw .176: 5:41 [5:44 in Yusuf Ali’s translation]; 7:188; 10:65, 99: 36:76,

You may drink water, you may drink whisky. It is for you to decide. The one who drinks water is using his mind and good will power, but those who drink drinks like whisky and other alcoholic drinks are not using their minds, and they are using their good will as a bad will and drinking.
Itis forbidden. Anything that the Lord of Heavens has forbidden or made prohibited is for our benefit; finally, ul- timately, we should be happy. But those who are not listen- ing to what Allah Almighty is offering to them, they think that what is prohibited is a good thing but forbidden.
Nothing of the sort! The Lord of Heavens never makes something forbidden if it gives benefit to mankind. Say, Europeans, Americans, the most civilized people—can you say that Allah made some things forbidden while they were or are for the benefit of mankind? They can’t say so! They must be drunk people to say that, and a drunk person is a no-mind person. What he is doing is all wrong.
Therefore, people to whom Allah Almighty, our Crea- tor, our Lord, granted minds to think and will power to force our physical being to do or to make or to keep some ules, it is the biggest grant from Allah Almighty. And when prophets came, they were representatives of Heavens, coming and calling, “O people!” Only prophets said, “O people, use your minds! We are asking from you to use your minds, nothing else.
When people reach the age of maturity, they are not mukallaf, responsible, because at that age their minds are not perfect. Perfection begins at that age. Then Allah Almighty says, “O My servant, look! I have now granted you every- thing and you have reached the first step of your maturity.

Your mind is sufficient to understand what I have sent to you from My heavenly orders. I am saying to you, ‘Aslim. Surrender to Me, surrender to Me!’”
All prophets came and called people and said to them, “Opeople, come and surrender to your Lord.”
And people were saying, “Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! What is this? Who is that One that you are telling us we must sur- render to? Where is He? We can’t see Him.”
“Eh, you can’t see your Lord.”
“We have so many idols, statues. We should ask them. Ifthey say ‘Yes,’ we may follow you.”
‘Where are your idols? Coming from Heavens?”
"No, We are making, from stone, from wood, wooden idols, iron idols, and silver idols or golden idols or idols of jewels, We may ask them. If they say “Yes,” we may sur- render to you.”
Oh-ho-ho! People are not using their minds. They are too drunk to think about such points. They are not free to think about it because they are busy, so busy. I am asking, “Why are you not thinking about it?”
And Americans are saying “No, no, Shaykh. We are very busy.”
“With what?”
"Because we are doing research on Mars. We are re- searching what is there.”

parade because earth people have come to us,” making a parade to welcome them. “None of them has come, no one!”
I am asking, “Have you finished with the earth so that you want to reach Mars? What is there?”
“No. We are so busy! No time for us to surrender to Someone. We want a free land like Mars. Nothing is there. “Better! Perhaps they are afraid and running into caves.
We should be free! No one will call us, ‘Come and surren- der’—to be Jewish, to be Christian, to be Anglican, to be Or- thodox, to be Catholic, to be Jesuit, to be Muslim. No one will ask us to surrender. We must run to that place!”
For a thousand years people have been thinking that there must be some live ones on Mars, Since centuries they were claiming that there are at least some live people, not close to our being but similar. “We must reach them to make them allies, to help us against the Chinese people [laughter] because they are so many, or against the Indian people; they are also one billion.”
Finally, finally, they are making a competition, The Russians are saying, “We must hurry to land on it before the Americans. Why should the Americans put their flag on it? We must reach first, we must put our flag on it,” and they are preparing to send their rocket. The Americans are very clever, waiting to see what will happen. And the Russians are saying that they needs three or four months to prepare.
Then going. When reaching there, because their brakes are not very strong, they can’t land on it—destroyed! The Americans are looking. “Ah, we must be patient to see what happened to them. They disappeared. We must order our rocket, also, to land.”
“Slow, slow; a smooth landing! When slowly landing, we will look.” And they landed and said, “Oh-h, so happy!” But some of them were very sad. “We were ex- pecting that they would come with their armies to make a
120
We must be very careful about that.”
And they are running to be there, not to surrender to anyone but to be free, a hundred per cent free—a free land, free people, because on earth so many things are making them not to be free. No freedom on earth, and people are always saying, “O people, come and surrender.”
“There, no one is calling us to surrender. We should be ahundred per cent free.” And they are running there to be fre, while on earth they were so unhappy because all the prophets were coming to them and saying, “O people, come and surrender!” And our egos never like to surrender.
When Allah created ego and asked it, “Who are you? Who am 1?” its answer was “I am I, You are You,” never saying “I am Your weak servant and You are my Lord.” The first argument just began at the beginning of our egos’ creation, and it is continuing. Every time, our egos want freedom, freedom. That means no one is over us to ask us to surrender to Him and His orders.
That is the main reason why people are running away ‘fom religions, from faith, from beliefs. They are trying to change every religion according to their mind- productions, acording to their minds, according to their physical desires. But every, every, belief from Heavens has come to make people surrender to their Lord, not to surrender to their (20s, because ego is, in everyone, the representative of Shay-

tan, and Shaytan is never happy that people should surren- der to their Lord and become His servants.
Shaytan wants to deceive people, and he is saying to them, “You must try to be free ones. Don’t believe in any- thing with the name of religion or prophethood or holy books, Don’t accept it! Instead, you must reject it and you must be free ones,” until now they are the twenty-first cen- tury’s people, running in the streets and roads, and de- manding, “More freedom! More freedom!”
What, what? What should that more freedom be? For what are they asking? They do not know. They are shout- ing, making demonstrations everywhere and demanding more freedom, more freedom. What is “more freedom’? No one can understand, but Shaytan is making them dem- onstrate and make those never-ending troubles and prob- lems on earth by always asking for freedom.
What more freedom should the government be able to give? What they are giving is in limits, also, because, after that limit, their own position is going to be in danger. Therefore, they are saying, “No. No more! You do every- thing you want, but don’t come to us and say, ‘We are ask- ing for more freedom. You get down! We should sit there in your place,"
All prophets came on the same point, to call people, saying, “O people, use your minds and surrender to your Creator, to your Lord. You should be good ones; you should be rewarded with a happy life, a peaceful life. When you surrender to His commands, you should be respected, you should be honoured.” But people are never thinking about it.

I am very sorry when I see people in the streets. They weatlacking and running in the streets and roads, and secu- rity forees are catching them and hitting them and carrying them by their legs and kicking them and doing everything bad fo them. I am very sorry, because it is not correct for mankind to be in that position.
Arabs have a good saying, “Jittaram nafsak.”''"° You un- derstand? [heard “Jhtaram nafsak” so much in Syria. “Ihta- rim nafsak” means, “Keep your honour, O person!” If you donot keep your honour, then you may lose your honour because something may happen to you. If I curse you or hit you or kick you, it is not an honour for you. Keep your honour, keep your namus, dignity!
You are a noble one."” Don’t put your nobility down among people, under their feet, under my feet or under someone else’s feet. And so many people are carried to ga- gol, jail, and police stations. To be carried there, to be im- prisoned, it is not an honour for them; to be kicked, to be hit, itisnotan honour. Keep your honour, keep your respect fom being touched, because you have been created as a re- spected one and the most honoured one among creatures. Why are you making yourself lose that respect? That is the reason.
Then, Allah Almighty is calling you to surrender to Him and you are refusing. You are losing your honour and respect. It is no good for you; you are not going to be a good one, no. People say that gangsters are the worst peo-

ple. No honour for them, no mercy for them; they only look like men but they are wild animals. Don’t be from among those people! Come and surrender to your Lord’s divine service so that Allah gives you more honour and respect here and Hereafter. Therefore, we are asking, “Who can say, ‘I am a good one?” If you surrender to the commands of your Lord, you are on the way to being a good one. If not, don’t claim that! am good one—no.
Nothing of this world’s aspects ever gives you the au- thority to claim that I am a good one—through your wealth, through your political positions among governments, through your business, through your gold, through any as- pect of dunya. That never gives you the authority to claim that] ama good one; no. A person may be a worker and he may be a good one; a person may have the power of Nimrod but he may not be a good one.
May Allah forgive us and grant us good understanding. People from East and West are coming here now because now people are slowly understanding that they have been cheated by devils and Shaytan’s tricks and traps. They are asking to save themselves from the hands of devils, bad ones, and to save themselves from their traps; they are be- ginning to ask. And Allah Almighty is going to change eve- rything now, to take power from the hands of devils and to bring true ones. We are here, claiming to be haqqani, truth defenders. |

That is the safety or salvation of the world and all na- fons. Without true ones, this world is going to hells. Only {ne ones can stop it, and by taking the reins of life into their hands, they may stop it. Otherwise, this world is just going to fall into hells!
