that man may get benefit from them. Animals are created for the service of mankind. When they have fulfilled the main purpose for which they were created, they finish; no responsibility on them. But men are not created to give their physical being for the service of any creature, no. Every creature is created for man, but man Is not created for them.

Aquestion whose answer is important to be known:
Jes everyone knows that men are not created for other crea- "ies men are not going to be servants to the animal world, m. But the whole animal world has been created for man- lind to use them as they like. The whole animal world is under the command and under the wishes of mankind, but meris man going to be the servant of animals, no.
Yes, you may keep animals, and you may give your sevice to them to make them ready for your service. If you tonot look after them when they are in need, they are not ong to give any benefit to you. Therefore, we are serving nimals, when they are in need, for ourselves, for our own beeti. No one is going to be a servant of animals except frthe purpose that they should be servants to you.
But mankind's position is a different position and it is a different service that has been asked from mankind. If all métures are servants to mankind, there must also be some different service for men to Someone, and that is our ser- janthood to our Creator. Servanthood, that is the difference four position from other creatures. They are servants to us adweare servants to Allah Almighty.
Then, when we are servants to our Creator, the Lord of Heavens, our servanthood is not through our physical be- ty. We have been asked to reach never-ending spiritual petection that is for our Creator. Our physical being is only tra short time, a very short time, and its perfection is only {rkeeping our souls in, but it is not a perpetual being. Our jhisical being is going to be dust. But the perfection of our ‘Drtual being, that is something else. And prophets came “ini taught people how they should reach spiritual perfecectipon.
217 BREATHS FROM BEYOND THECURTAIN
If you reach that perfection, you are the most fortunate one. Those who do not take any care, their position is going to be worse than animals’ position because animals are fi- nally going to be dust and disappear. But mankind, those who do not take any care of their spirituality, their physical being is not going to be dust except in their graves.
Then it will come into the Divine Presence on the Day of Resurrection. Our physical being is going to be there, not going to disappear like animals’ beings. And those who ne- glected their spirituality should be forever in troubles, in misery, in fires that burn them because they never took care of their spiritual perfection. Those who took care of their spiritual perfection, they should be happy with a new be- ginning, with a new structure, with a new being. They should be in unknown paradises that they only heard about before, and their perfection should continue in Paradise, also.
I am sorry to say that people now care only about their physical being. They want to make their physical being more perfect, but more perfection for our physical being is impossible. After a while, after a period, after a short time, our physical being’s perfection is slowly going to come down, come down, come down, and going to be at the point of zero, dying. Our physical being, no matter how much you try to give it perfection with what people now are try- ing to do for that purpose, everything is still only for that physical being. The only care for all the world—learned people, physicians and technology, everything—is just di- rected at our physical being’s perfection and to make that perfection continue and last forever. And itis impossible.

They know that, but they are running after it. Every il effort, of learned people is directed at our physical be- ng perfection. And it is not continuous perfection, going ip, up to forty years, and then beginning to come down. That perfection that we have increases up to forty years. Alte that, whatever you do, it is impossible to turn it back swe were forty years or thirty years or twenty years or fif- ten years ago; no. The perfection of people’s physical be- ig; if nothing from outside comes on him or her,””’ is only iploforty years, Then, whatever medicine, whatever prac- les whatever eating or drinking they use will never give nore perfection after that age. Must come down, and coming to the point of zero, finishing.
One week or ten days ago, TV was showing a navy dadnought, a Russian warship, that was working by nu- ear power. And they were in fear. They were taking wery care for that ship, but they were not taking care of that ruclar power and they were afraid that there would be an aplosion, There was an unseen power there, and they nerent able to stop it, also, because when the time came, it wns going to explode and make it nothing.
That is losing everything that we were granted for raching perfection in our physical being. We may give ery care, attention and concern for our physical being, but we are not taking any care of that power that makes our physical being move, work, and live.
Now mankind, also, are thinking that our physical be- ‘ingmakes us be in life. No! That secret power inside is like
- *Anilness or accident, ete.

nuclear power. If we do not take care, it is going to explode and your physical being is going to be zero, nothing. If you take it without an explosion, it is protected and can be used another time.”* When people come on the Day of Resurrec- tion, that power will come with them, but those who de- stroyed themselves will finish. Those who took care of themselves, of that secret power, they should be happy.
People now are not taking care of that unseen power that makes a man to move, to live, to do everything, and that point needs development and improvement to reach the way of perfection. Therefore, Allah Almighty sent, from His Divine Presence from Heavens, some of His chosen ser- vants who have been dressed in that secret power to arrange the lives of people on earth for reaching their real perfection. But people are running after material perfection, and mate- rial perfection is going to be the reason of curses now in the twenty-first century, and the whole world now, it is just ready to explode. Day by day, the whole world is now wait- ing for the one day, the one hour, when it is going to ex- plode and destroy everything that mankind has established for their physical improvement or their physical pleasure, going to finish. That is coming now. It is called “Armaged- don,” written about in the Old Testament, the New Testa- ment, and also it is indicated in the seal of holy books,
Quran al-Karim. May Allah forgive us and bless those who are asking for the honour of being servants to their Lord, and make us with those people who are asking for that honour. There is no honour, no safety, no happiness or peace here or Hereafter
28That is, if you master it during this life, it will be resurrected with you on the Last Day for your use in the eternal life.

THE REAL GOAL OFTHE NAQSHBAND! TARIQAH
Avudhu bil-Lahi min ash-Shaytani-r-rajeem. —Bismillahi-r- Rahmani-r-Raheem. La hawla wa ta quwwata illa bil-Lahi-t- ‘Altyi-l-’Azheem.
The Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Order is now the only way that working as a tariqali.’ Other tarigahs’ ways have just stopped because there us no maintenance for them.2” They have been left, and it is difficult to move in them and to reach our goals. And the main goal that we must take our utmost care of is to reach Allah, nothing else, because, in any case, you will finally reach His Divine Presence,
*’Tarigah/tariqat (‘way’ or ‘path’) refers to Sufi orders. “Meaning that currently, in all tarigahs except the Nagshbandiyya, there are no longer shaykhs whose appointment is authorized, That is, the cur- rent shaykhs are either self-appointed or appointed by a predecessor who was not authorized to pass on the leadership of the tarigah, and who may be good, righteous men but not atwliya (saints).

Therefore, our efforts here—what we are doing to reach ination goals or imaginary goals—are not taking us any- yee because they are not real, true goals for mankind. (u'tbe! All the goals that we are trying to put our efforts pwards reaching, all of them belong to our material world. And the material world, even if you reach all material as- pats material values, material treasures, is not going to be mth you when you leave this life. It will not give you any- ting and your effort is going to be lost, wasted. You will ally have reached nothing.
Instead, the real goal must be beyond our material be- my. Beyond our material being comes spiritual being, spiri- al aspects and spiritual values that are beyond our physi- allife and beyond our material being. And we must look tour goals: for what we are giving our utmost care, for which thing we are giving everything that we have been yanted spiritually and physically, and with what we are jasting it; we must look at that point. And we are seeing fat the majority, perhaps now ninety-nine per cent and nore of people, want to reach imitation goals that belong to your rphysical being.
When our physical being finishes and vanishes, its goal wilalso finish and vanish, disappear. When your physical hing disappears, its efforts and goals are finished; when jou bury a person in the graveyard, everything is finished. Where did that one’s efforts and works and activities go— where? Disappeared, finished! When burying a person, seything that belonged to his material being just finishes.
Therefore, material aspects can’t be our real goal.
Our real, true goal is to find the way to reach our Lord’s Divine Presence. If you give your effort to that goal, it is a ral goal. When you leave this physical and material life,
BREATHS FROM BEYOND THE CURTAIN
you will not lose your real goal, you will reach your real goal, Our real goal never has any interest in our physical being, not taking any interest. If taking an interest, it would have carried our material being with it, also. But it never carries it, leaving it to be buried, leaving it to be dust under the earth, underground.
And that is the reason we are trying to teach or to show people a real aspect as a goal, since most people do not think about it because they are surrounded by material as- pects, and material aspects never let them be interested in what is beyond those aspects. And they are imprisoned by material desires, physical desires, physical enjoyments, They want that, wanting to reach more and more; but every time, they are becoming less, less, less, and at the point of zero they are finishing.
Now, in our traditional knowledge that our Grand- shaykh was giving, there were forty-one tariqals, each tariqah trying to carry people to their real aspects. But for a long time now, there has been no maintenance of forty tarigahs because the real authority in those tarigals has passed away and the tarigal has become weaker, weaker, weaker, and now no one is able to continue or maintain those ways.
Therefore, those who are coming and working through those tariqahs, it is so difficult for them to reach their real goals because no more authorized guides for them, no guid- ance, Only the Most Distinguished Nagshbandi Order al- ways has maintenance, and it is ready and prepared for eve- ryone who is asking for the real goal that belongs to their spirituality and spiritual worlds, spiritual desires, spiritual

wring and who are asking know about the reality of reach- igtheir real goals. We are now living in a time when only te Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Order is ready to take pope from the darkness of materiality, to carry them away vad bring them toa lighted world, to look and see, through fe heavenly lights, their future, their goals, their prom- 2
To make all mankind remember their promise, the \agshbandi Order is sufficient because the Naqshbandi Or- iets calling people to keep the promise that they made vhen we were in the spiritual world, guiding us to our sumise in the Divine Presence, when we said, “O our Lord, Jovareour Lord. At every time, we want to be with You, ‘bxcept Your commands and to keep Your holy orders for raching Your Divine Presence, and to be Your sincere ser- vanlsin Your Divine Presence.” That is all.
We have been called to keep our promise to Allah Al- nighty in the spiritual world that we were going to keep tuselves for reaching His Divine Presence and being His iooured servants. We are in need, for that purpose, of tuchers who can teach us. And all prophets were teachers ad reminders for people. “O people, you gave your oath to ‘jurLord on the Day of Promises that you were going to be Asseryants only, not anyone else’s.” And all prophets and
eerring, to the Day of Promises, mentioned in 7:172: “And [mention] ‘fn yur Lord took from the children of Adam —from their loins —their descen- ‘dois ond made them testify concerning themselves, [saying to them], “Am 1 not forint?’ They said, ‘Yes, we testify to it.” The question, “Am | not your _ lo and the affirmative answer to it means that all humanity-to-come thn their acceptance of Allah's Lordship and Sovereignty, and their _ Metin jobe true to that affirmation by being sincere, obedient servants.
Him,
BREATHS FROM BEYOND THECURTAIN
their inheritors, awliya, have been trying to make people re- member that oath and promise so that we may move to- wards our Lord's Divine Presence.
But people are running away. When they run away, curses run after them and troubles surround them and prob- lems face them, so that there is no rest for them day or night. Particularly if a person is in a high position, in which whole nations are under his command, he has many more troubles and problems than others. And it is impossible for one per- son to bring solutions for countless problems or to take away sadness and troubles and miseries and sufferings from people. It is impossible.
The way our grandshaykhs used to awaken mankind was Association. When they sat with people, their first goal was to make attenders think about their oath and promise, Most people do not know about their promise. This is a re- minder for common people to think about their promise in the Divine Presence, so that, when they think about real obedience, you see that they come to the way of praying and making the first and most important goal for men living on earth to find their way to their Creator, Allah Almighty.
It is not easy, it is not easy, but it is not impossible, It is only not easy, but it is not impossible. You must carry a burden, a heavy burden, to learn and to follow the ways reaching to the Divine Presence. Day by day, you may learn, and you may move step by step to the Divine Pres- ence of the Lord of Heavens, our Creator.
May Allah forgive me and grant to you, by His bless- ings, not to be deceived by Satan and satanic groups. Every place is full of satanic groups. They never like a person who

If you can do that, repair or maintain your body continue in this life.” But they never think about what we avsaying and to think is the key that opens the treasures of realities.

be seen even under the most powerful microscope. Neer! Millions of them can’t be seen. And they are be- ween the material and non-material area, or their material syects belong to the material world as well as reaching the giritual world, also. If they belonged only to the material yorld, they would have no life.
When we say ‘life,’ it means what is understood by us. ‘they are dead ones; what we call ‘living’ ones are not alive, fenthing that belongs to the material world is also alive, tutits life is not like our lives.2%
Therefore, Adam #8 was carrying on his back the mate- ml particles that were the seeds of mankind. The seeds hed material beings’ smallest representatives. And if the eel power that belongs to Heavens did not touch them and come on them, they would not be living ones—such snall ones, small living parts or the smallest living figures , sedsofmankind. Allah Almighty is looking and seeing the esonalityof everyone in that, and giving that power to the ‘al of the Prophets. He can see. And according to their ieht or the enlightenment in their hearts, prophets and aly, saints, are looking and seeing the life in those seeds.
Adam #2 was carrying all of them. He was in Paradise, ind be was carrying all of his descendants. And as you see (rhear or read or know about his descendants, from the be- timing up to today, mostly they are violent ones, disobediant ones and rebellious ones. Their interest is not in their "leaning that to be in existence, every single creation, from the largest faay tothe tiniest sub-sub atomic particle, must be granted a quality of “beng alive” from the Divine Power Ocean, without which it cannot ‘merge from the domain of absolute non-existence (‘adaman mutlaq) to the domain of existence (al-twujud),

Creator and His obedience and His pleasure; their greatest interest is in material aspects. Therefore, Adam’s descen- dants whom he was carrying made Adam ## look around Paradise.
He was happy, looking at Paradise and what was in it. And he was feeling enjoyment and pleasure in his manly structure, his manly personality that was his material figure, working through divine power. He looked around and he was so happy, enjoying.
But although he was going around, he was not in real satisfaction. He was looking and saying, “I am not fully sat- isfied,” till Allah Almighty, in less than a second or a smaller unit of time, made him doze, and Adam lost himself within himself, like this. And in that unit of time, Allah Al- mighty created Eve with such beauty that no one can reach her beauty.
When Adam ‘| looked and saw her, he said, “Oh, now Paradise is full!” He had reached satisfaction, and he said, “Come to me!”
She said, “No. You come!”
And Adam #4! went. Yes! If I had been there, I would have gone, also. [Laughter.] And Adam ## was in his full power, not used.
Look! The thing for which Adam #4 got up and went to Eve—his descendants, who were asking for satisfaction only through materiality, made Adam look and go to find satisfaction with her, Otherwise, his satisfaction must be “Ala bi-dhikri-Llahi tatma‘innu-L-qulub.
Unquestionably, in the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured,” (13:28)

He would not have gone to look at Eve or anything else eause he was looking at his Lord. Finding satisfaction wilh Eve was from his descendants whom he was carrying mis back, whose whose interest was in materiality and material aspects or material desires, making him go. Oth- ewise, Adam really would not have looked at Eve. He was sting for the Lord of Paradise, the Lord of Heavens.
Therefore, when he lost his chance to be in Paradise he yascrying. He was crying when he was sent to earth, cry- mg. He was not crying for Eve; he was crying because he fad lost his Lord’s Presence, his Lord’s pleasure, Therefore, itthat time he understood that his rebellious descendants had made him run to Eve, and when he ran to Eve, the Lord was not happy.
The Lord of Heavens was not happy for Adam to look dinyone else and to look at Eve, but it was those rebellious decendants, whose desires were only materiality, who did his. Otherwise, Adam *! was innocent, innocent; he could wtdo anything wrong.’* But because he had all his de- vendants, mimin, kafir?* everyone with him, they made him fall into that wrong action, k/ata, mistake.
Itwas a mistake. He did not make hawa?* by himself. Aswind sends a sail boat, he was sent to Eve, and from Eve iothat forbidden tree. When coming to earth, he cried for tee hundred years because he had lost the familiarity of “Wisin Islamic belief that although prophets were capable of making Tisiakes, they were free of sins.

his Lord‘s Divine Presence. He cried for that; not crying for Eve or anyone else, no.
The biggest mistake of people now is that they are run- ning after materiality, and materiality never gives satisfac- tion. Even if it is more and more and more, it never gives satisfaction. Allah Almighty is saying, “If you are asking for satisfaction, you can find it with Me. When you are going to be in My Divine Presence, you will just have reached satis- faction, peace and enjoyment, unlimited pleasure with Me, because the one who is with Me finds eternal enjoyment, increasing enjoyment, every time, every day, up to eternity. Eternal enjoyment for you!”
People now are on wrong way because they want satis- faction, contentment, happiness and peace within them- selves through material aspects. But the biggest teaching is Adam’s situation in Paradise and what happened to him. It is enough for all nations, for all of his descendants, to un- derstand. But they are nof understanding and they are de- ceived by Shaytan, and satanic teachings are making people fall into miseries, sufferings, problems, endless troubles. And the biggest trouble-maker is Shaytan and his followers, devils.
I am sorry to say that now, everywhere, Shaytan’s rep- resentatives, devils, are in power. And they are forcing mankind to move, to follow shaytanic teachings and reject heavenly teachings, so that there is no good sign now for their future. They are going to fall into such a bad condition! Now it is nothing, but in the future that is approaching, they should taste the punishment of their wrong steps. And the whole
--------------- next page -----------------
world’s people, till they change their steps, leaving satanic tachings, are never going to be happy here or Hereafter. That is the heavenly teaching in the Old Testament, New Testament, Holy Qur'an and Zabur, Psalms, of Sayyidina David 88. The Khulasa, summary or, more than summary, esence—the essence of holy books is this. As long as men ae running after material aspects, they can’t reach any satisfaction or pleasure—no, no, no, no!
Mankind must change their ways. But I see that it is go- itg to be impossible with our leaders or governments. They zen't able. Even religious people who claim to belong to Christianity, Judaism and even IsI am do not have not enough capacity to change people’s directions from the wrong way to the right way. And I am only asking from Allah Almighty to send us some of His servants who are supported by heavenly powers. Otherwise, it is impossible forbillions of people to be changed from the wrong way.
May Allah forgive us! And within a short time, I am hooking for those ones to be sent. When it is evening, I am king to reach them before morning, I am so thirsty to rach them to save mankind from the hands of devils and the satanic kingdom.
May Allah forgive us and grant us those ones. For the honour of the most honoured one in His Divine Presence, Sayyidina Muhammad 3%—Fateha! &

THE REAL GOAL OFTHE NAQSHBAND! TARIQAH
Avudhu bil-Lahi min ash-Shaytani-r-rajeem. —Bismillahi-r- Rahmani-r-Raheem. La hawla wa ta quwwata illa bil-Lahi-t- ‘Altyi-l-’Azheem.
The Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Order is now the only way that working as a tariqali.’ Other tarigahs’ ways have just stopped because there us no maintenance for them.2” They have been left, and it is difficult to move in them and to reach our goals. And the main goal that we must take our utmost care of is to reach Allah, nothing else, because, in any case, you will finally reach His Divine Presence,
*’Tarigah/tariqat (‘way’ or ‘path’) refers to Sufi orders. “Meaning that currently, in all tarigahs except the Nagshbandiyya, there are no longer shaykhs whose appointment is authorized, That is, the cur- rent shaykhs are either self-appointed or appointed by a predecessor who was not authorized to pass on the leadership of the tarigah, and who may be good, righteous men but not atwliya (saints).

Therefore, our efforts here—what we are doing to reach ination goals or imaginary goals—are not taking us any- yee because they are not real, true goals for mankind. (u'tbe! All the goals that we are trying to put our efforts pwards reaching, all of them belong to our material world. And the material world, even if you reach all material as- pats material values, material treasures, is not going to be mth you when you leave this life. It will not give you any- ting and your effort is going to be lost, wasted. You will ally have reached nothing.
Instead, the real goal must be beyond our material be- my. Beyond our material being comes spiritual being, spiri- al aspects and spiritual values that are beyond our physi- allife and beyond our material being. And we must look tour goals: for what we are giving our utmost care, for which thing we are giving everything that we have been yanted spiritually and physically, and with what we are jasting it; we must look at that point. And we are seeing fat the majority, perhaps now ninety-nine per cent and nore of people, want to reach imitation goals that belong to your rphysical being.
When our physical being finishes and vanishes, its goal wilalso finish and vanish, disappear. When your physical hing disappears, its efforts and goals are finished; when jou bury a person in the graveyard, everything is finished. Where did that one’s efforts and works and activities go— where? Disappeared, finished! When burying a person, seything that belonged to his material being just finishes.
Therefore, material aspects can’t be our real goal.
Our real, true goal is to find the way to reach our Lord’s Divine Presence. If you give your effort to that goal, it is a ral goal. When you leave this physical and material life,
BREATHS FROM BEYOND THE CURTAIN
you will not lose your real goal, you will reach your real goal, Our real goal never has any interest in our physical being, not taking any interest. If taking an interest, it would have carried our material being with it, also. But it never carries it, leaving it to be buried, leaving it to be dust under the earth, underground.
And that is the reason we are trying to teach or to show people a real aspect as a goal, since most people do not think about it because they are surrounded by material as- pects, and material aspects never let them be interested in what is beyond those aspects. And they are imprisoned by material desires, physical desires, physical enjoyments, They want that, wanting to reach more and more; but every time, they are becoming less, less, less, and at the point of zero they are finishing.
Now, in our traditional knowledge that our Grand- shaykh was giving, there were forty-one tariqals, each tariqah trying to carry people to their real aspects. But for a long time now, there has been no maintenance of forty tarigahs because the real authority in those tarigals has passed away and the tarigal has become weaker, weaker, weaker, and now no one is able to continue or maintain those ways.
Therefore, those who are coming and working through those tariqahs, it is so difficult for them to reach their real goals because no more authorized guides for them, no guid- ance, Only the Most Distinguished Nagshbandi Order al- ways has maintenance, and it is ready and prepared for eve- ryone who is asking for the real goal that belongs to their spirituality and spiritual worlds, spiritual desires, spiritual

wring and who are asking know about the reality of reach- igtheir real goals. We are now living in a time when only te Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Order is ready to take pope from the darkness of materiality, to carry them away vad bring them toa lighted world, to look and see, through fe heavenly lights, their future, their goals, their prom- 2
To make all mankind remember their promise, the \agshbandi Order is sufficient because the Naqshbandi Or- iets calling people to keep the promise that they made vhen we were in the spiritual world, guiding us to our sumise in the Divine Presence, when we said, “O our Lord, Jovareour Lord. At every time, we want to be with You, ‘bxcept Your commands and to keep Your holy orders for raching Your Divine Presence, and to be Your sincere ser- vanlsin Your Divine Presence.” That is all.
We have been called to keep our promise to Allah Al- nighty in the spiritual world that we were going to keep tuselves for reaching His Divine Presence and being His iooured servants. We are in need, for that purpose, of tuchers who can teach us. And all prophets were teachers ad reminders for people. “O people, you gave your oath to ‘jurLord on the Day of Promises that you were going to be Asseryants only, not anyone else’s.” And all prophets and
eerring, to the Day of Promises, mentioned in 7:172: “And [mention] ‘fn yur Lord took from the children of Adam —from their loins —their descen- ‘dois ond made them testify concerning themselves, [saying to them], “Am 1 not forint?’ They said, ‘Yes, we testify to it.” The question, “Am | not your _ lo and the affirmative answer to it means that all humanity-to-come thn their acceptance of Allah's Lordship and Sovereignty, and their _ Metin jobe true to that affirmation by being sincere, obedient servants.
Him,
BREATHS FROM BEYOND THECURTAIN
their inheritors, awliya, have been trying to make people re- member that oath and promise so that we may move to- wards our Lord's Divine Presence.
But people are running away. When they run away, curses run after them and troubles surround them and prob- lems face them, so that there is no rest for them day or night. Particularly if a person is in a high position, in which whole nations are under his command, he has many more troubles and problems than others. And it is impossible for one per- son to bring solutions for countless problems or to take away sadness and troubles and miseries and sufferings from people. It is impossible.
The way our grandshaykhs used to awaken mankind was Association. When they sat with people, their first goal was to make attenders think about their oath and promise, Most people do not know about their promise. This is a re- minder for common people to think about their promise in the Divine Presence, so that, when they think about real obedience, you see that they come to the way of praying and making the first and most important goal for men living on earth to find their way to their Creator, Allah Almighty.
It is not easy, it is not easy, but it is not impossible, It is only not easy, but it is not impossible. You must carry a burden, a heavy burden, to learn and to follow the ways reaching to the Divine Presence. Day by day, you may learn, and you may move step by step to the Divine Pres- ence of the Lord of Heavens, our Creator.
May Allah forgive me and grant to you, by His bless- ings, not to be deceived by Satan and satanic groups. Every place is full of satanic groups. They never like a person who

If you can do that, repair or maintain your body continue in this life.” But they never think about what we avsaying and to think is the key that opens the treasures of realities.

be seen even under the most powerful microscope. Neer! Millions of them can’t be seen. And they are be- ween the material and non-material area, or their material syects belong to the material world as well as reaching the giritual world, also. If they belonged only to the material yorld, they would have no life.
When we say ‘life,’ it means what is understood by us. ‘they are dead ones; what we call ‘living’ ones are not alive, fenthing that belongs to the material world is also alive, tutits life is not like our lives.2%
Therefore, Adam #8 was carrying on his back the mate- ml particles that were the seeds of mankind. The seeds hed material beings’ smallest representatives. And if the eel power that belongs to Heavens did not touch them and come on them, they would not be living ones—such snall ones, small living parts or the smallest living figures , sedsofmankind. Allah Almighty is looking and seeing the esonalityof everyone in that, and giving that power to the ‘al of the Prophets. He can see. And according to their ieht or the enlightenment in their hearts, prophets and aly, saints, are looking and seeing the life in those seeds.
Adam #2 was carrying all of them. He was in Paradise, ind be was carrying all of his descendants. And as you see (rhear or read or know about his descendants, from the be- timing up to today, mostly they are violent ones, disobediant ones and rebellious ones. Their interest is not in their "leaning that to be in existence, every single creation, from the largest faay tothe tiniest sub-sub atomic particle, must be granted a quality of “beng alive” from the Divine Power Ocean, without which it cannot ‘merge from the domain of absolute non-existence (‘adaman mutlaq) to the domain of existence (al-twujud),

Creator and His obedience and His pleasure; their greatest interest is in material aspects. Therefore, Adam’s descen- dants whom he was carrying made Adam ## look around Paradise.
He was happy, looking at Paradise and what was in it. And he was feeling enjoyment and pleasure in his manly structure, his manly personality that was his material figure, working through divine power. He looked around and he was so happy, enjoying.
But although he was going around, he was not in real satisfaction. He was looking and saying, “I am not fully sat- isfied,” till Allah Almighty, in less than a second or a smaller unit of time, made him doze, and Adam lost himself within himself, like this. And in that unit of time, Allah Al- mighty created Eve with such beauty that no one can reach her beauty.
When Adam ‘| looked and saw her, he said, “Oh, now Paradise is full!” He had reached satisfaction, and he said, “Come to me!”
She said, “No. You come!”
And Adam #4! went. Yes! If I had been there, I would have gone, also. [Laughter.] And Adam ## was in his full power, not used.
Look! The thing for which Adam #4 got up and went to Eve—his descendants, who were asking for satisfaction only through materiality, made Adam look and go to find satisfaction with her, Otherwise, his satisfaction must be “Ala bi-dhikri-Llahi tatma‘innu-L-qulub.
Unquestionably, in the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured,” (13:28)

He would not have gone to look at Eve or anything else eause he was looking at his Lord. Finding satisfaction wilh Eve was from his descendants whom he was carrying mis back, whose whose interest was in materiality and material aspects or material desires, making him go. Oth- ewise, Adam really would not have looked at Eve. He was sting for the Lord of Paradise, the Lord of Heavens.
Therefore, when he lost his chance to be in Paradise he yascrying. He was crying when he was sent to earth, cry- mg. He was not crying for Eve; he was crying because he fad lost his Lord’s Presence, his Lord’s pleasure, Therefore, itthat time he understood that his rebellious descendants had made him run to Eve, and when he ran to Eve, the Lord was not happy.
The Lord of Heavens was not happy for Adam to look dinyone else and to look at Eve, but it was those rebellious decendants, whose desires were only materiality, who did his. Otherwise, Adam *! was innocent, innocent; he could wtdo anything wrong.’* But because he had all his de- vendants, mimin, kafir?* everyone with him, they made him fall into that wrong action, k/ata, mistake.
Itwas a mistake. He did not make hawa?* by himself. Aswind sends a sail boat, he was sent to Eve, and from Eve iothat forbidden tree. When coming to earth, he cried for tee hundred years because he had lost the familiarity of “Wisin Islamic belief that although prophets were capable of making Tisiakes, they were free of sins.

his Lord‘s Divine Presence. He cried for that; not crying for Eve or anyone else, no.
The biggest mistake of people now is that they are run- ning after materiality, and materiality never gives satisfac- tion. Even if it is more and more and more, it never gives satisfaction. Allah Almighty is saying, “If you are asking for satisfaction, you can find it with Me. When you are going to be in My Divine Presence, you will just have reached satis- faction, peace and enjoyment, unlimited pleasure with Me, because the one who is with Me finds eternal enjoyment, increasing enjoyment, every time, every day, up to eternity. Eternal enjoyment for you!”
People now are on wrong way because they want satis- faction, contentment, happiness and peace within them- selves through material aspects. But the biggest teaching is Adam’s situation in Paradise and what happened to him. It is enough for all nations, for all of his descendants, to un- derstand. But they are nof understanding and they are de- ceived by Shaytan, and satanic teachings are making people fall into miseries, sufferings, problems, endless troubles. And the biggest trouble-maker is Shaytan and his followers, devils.
I am sorry to say that now, everywhere, Shaytan’s rep- resentatives, devils, are in power. And they are forcing mankind to move, to follow shaytanic teachings and reject heavenly teachings, so that there is no good sign now for their future. They are going to fall into such a bad condition! Now it is nothing, but in the future that is approaching, they should taste the punishment of their wrong steps. And the whole
--------------- next page -----------------
world’s people, till they change their steps, leaving satanic tachings, are never going to be happy here or Hereafter. That is the heavenly teaching in the Old Testament, New Testament, Holy Qur'an and Zabur, Psalms, of Sayyidina David 88. The Khulasa, summary or, more than summary, esence—the essence of holy books is this. As long as men ae running after material aspects, they can’t reach any satisfaction or pleasure—no, no, no, no!
Mankind must change their ways. But I see that it is go- itg to be impossible with our leaders or governments. They zen't able. Even religious people who claim to belong to Christianity, Judaism and even IsI am do not have not enough capacity to change people’s directions from the wrong way to the right way. And I am only asking from Allah Almighty to send us some of His servants who are supported by heavenly powers. Otherwise, it is impossible forbillions of people to be changed from the wrong way.
May Allah forgive us! And within a short time, I am hooking for those ones to be sent. When it is evening, I am king to reach them before morning, I am so thirsty to rach them to save mankind from the hands of devils and the satanic kingdom.
May Allah forgive us and grant us those ones. For the honour of the most honoured one in His Divine Presence, Sayyidina Muhammad 3%—Fateha! &
