Our War is against our ego-Sohbet Shaykh Abdul Kerim Al Kibrisi (Q.S)

BismillahirRahmanirRahimsahibul saif

Our duty, is not even to go to a war. We are not going to any war. Don’t think that you are going to war. No. Our duty is to declare war to ourselves and to try to save as much people from the wrong directions that they are going to. Everyone is going into a quicksand, we must try to move them out. Much as we can. That time you will feel happy. You will feel comfortable.Everywhere you walk, you are with your Lord. Whatever they say to you, if it is wrong, you don’t hear. You only hear the good things. You only say good things to people, you don’t say bad things to people.

Don’t make no mistake saying: they are Christians or Jews or something else and we are Muslims and we are better than them. No. We don’t know how we are going to come out from this life. Biggest worrying, yes you must worry, we must worry: Is to think how we are going to give the last breath. Are we going to die as a believer or as an unbeliever? You don’t know that. That is hidden. That is hidden to us. So the people that you may look down now, they may go out from this world clean. We don’t know. Maybe they come to Islam tomorrow and they will be perfectly okay. As for us, whatever we do now, if we do good deeds, we receive blessings from it. If we do bad deeds, we are going to receive punishment for it. But if a person is doing such a wrong thing right now and he is not a Muslim, soon as he gives Shahadat, he’s going to be the most clean one. All sins and all wrong things that he did up till now, it’s going to be forgiven. So he’s going to be cleaner than you and I. That is Islam.

Sheykh Effendi calls out to one brother, “ ‘X’, come and sit in front of me. Give me your hand. Now say, ‘Ashadu an-la ilaha il Allah, ve Ashadu anna Muhammadan Abduh ve Rasuluhu. Salallahu Ta’ala Alayhi ve ala Alihi ve Sahbihi ve Sallim.” ‘X’ repeated after Sheykh Effendi, ‘Ashadu an-la ilaha il Allah, ve Ashadu anna Muhammadan Abduh ve Rasuluhu. Ashadu an-la ilaha il Allah, ve Ashadu anna Muhammadan Abduh ve Rasuluhu.’

Salallahu Ta’ala Alayhi ve ala Alihi ve Sahbihi ve Sallim. Allahu, Allahu, Allahu Haqq. Allahu, Allahu, Allahu Haqq. Allahu, Allahu, Allahu Haqq. Al-Fatiha. Congratulations to you. Now, what I have just said, this man is more cleaner than everyone of us here now. All sins, according to what Holy Prophet (asws) is saying to us, according to what Holy Quran is saying: anyone who is giving Shahadat, anything that they did before their lives, everything is forgiven, they are pure like they’ve been born from their mother. They are pure. Now pray for us (Sheykh says to brother ‘X’ who has just taken the Shahdat). Tonight, pray for us, because you are pure, you are more purer than us. Welcome to you.

Islam_is_Peace_by_Sunbirdy
“The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the people are safe, and the believer is the one from whom the people’s lives and wealth are safe”Authentic Narration in the book Sunan Nasai, Hadith 4998

 

GREATEST ADVISE OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ALAIHISWALATHU WA SALAM) TO PEOPLE OF THE END OF TIMES:

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem.

We are living in the End of Times. This is the time of great trials and tribulations

In the End of times (this times) Dajjal-Anti Christ and his followers commit crimes, injustice oppression and tyranny in the name of Islam.

So this period is known as as the period of great trials and tribulations that is coming against Islam and Muslims in all means.

This is the reason, the Prophet of Allah (Nabi Muhammad alaihiswalathu wa salam) advising Muslims to stay away from all this groups and sects that make confusion and mischief in the name of Islam.

The forces of Anti-Christ want to oppress whole world and put the blame on Islam and Muslims. So the dark powers have elected people from all religious groups and sects that want to spread atrocities throughout the world, among Muslims Christians and other faiths, then to put the label of “Islam” for the horrible crimes they are committing.

END OF TIMES:BE LIKE PEOPLE OF THE CAVE (ASHAB AL KAHF)

Abu Huraira (R.A) reported Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: There would be turmoil and the one who would sleep would be better than who would be awake and the one who would be awake would be better than one who would stand and one who would stand would be better than one who would run. So he who finds refuge or shelter should take that refuge or shelter.

(sahih Muslim 6895)

TO MUSLIMS WHO KILL EACH OTHER:

Ahnaf b. Qais reported on the authority of Abu Bakra that Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: When two Muslims confront each other with their swords, both the slayer and the slain are doomed to Hell-Fire.

(Sahih Muslim 6899)

THE ADVISE GIVEN TO HUDHAIFA IBN AL YAMAN (R.A):

It has been narrated on the authority of Hudhaifa b. al-Yaman who said: People used to ask the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) about the good times, but I used to ask him about bad times fearing lest they overtake me. I said: Messenger of Allah, we were in the midst of ignorance and evil, and then God brought us this good (time through Islam). Is there any bad time after this good one? He said: Yes. I asked: Will there be a good time again after that bad time? He said: Yes, but therein will be a hidden evil. I asked: What will be the evil hidden therein? He said: (That time will witness the rise of) the people who will adopt ways other than mine and seek guidance other than mine. You will know good points as well as bad points. I asked: Will there be a bad time after this good one? He said: Yes. (A time will come) when there will be people standing and inviting at the gates of Hell. Whoso responds to their call they will throw them into the fire. I said: Messenger of Allah, describe them for us. He said: All right. They will be a people having the same complexion as ours and speaking our language. I said: Messenger of Allah, what do you suggest if I happen to live in that time? He said: You should stick to the main body of the Muslims and their leader. I said: If they have no (such thing as the) main body and have no leader? He said: Separate yourself from all these factions, though you may have to eat the roots of trees (in a jungle) until death comes to you and you are in this state.  (Sahih Muslim,Book 020, Hadith 4553)

THE PEOPLE OF DAJJAL AMONG MUSLIMS SAY: “DO NOT FOLLOW AMIR OR IMAM JUST FOLLOW ONLY BOOKS”!!!

It his been narrated through a different chain of transmitters, on the authority of Hudhaifa b. al-Yaman who said: Messenger of Allah, no doubt, we had an evil time (i. e. the days of Jahiliyya or ignorance) and God brought us a good time (i. e. Islamic period) through which we are now living Will there be a bad time after this good time? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes. I said: Will there be a good time after this bad time? He said: Yes. I said: Will there be a bad time after good time? He said: Yes. I said: How? Whereupon he said: There will be leaders who will not be led by my guidance and who will not adopt my ways? There will be among them men who will have the hearts of devils in the bodies of human beings. I said: What should I do. Messenger of Allah, if I (happen) to live in that time? He replied: You will listen to the Amir and carry out his orders; even if your back is flogged and your wealth is snatched, you should listen and obey.  (Sahih Muslim, Book 020, Hadith 4554)

STAY IN YOUR HOMES OR REMOTE PLACES:

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “there will be afflictions (and at the time) the sitting person will be better than the standing one, and the standing one will be better than the walking, and the walking will be better than the running. And whoever will look towards those afflictions, they will overtake him, and whoever will find a refuge or a shelter, should take refuge in it.” The same narration is reported by Abu Bakr, with the addition, “(The Prophet said), ‘Among the prayers there is a prayer the missing of which will be to one like losing one’s family and property.”  (Sahih Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 799)

Narrated Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri: Allah’s Apostle said, “there will come a time when the best property of a Muslim will be sheep which he will take to the tops of mountains and the places of rainfall so as to flee with his religion from the afflictions.  (Sahih Bukhari,Book 88, Hadith 210)

SPEND YOUR TIME IN MEDITATION/PRAYERS AND NECESSARY ACTIVITIES:

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “There will be afflictions (and at the time) the sitting person will be better than the standing one, and the standing one will be better than the walking, and the walking will be better than the running. And whoever will look towards those afflictions, they will overtake him, and whoever will find a refuge or a shelter, should take refuge in it.” The same narration is reported by Abu Bakr, with the addition, “(The Prophet said), ‘Among the prayers there is a prayer the missing of which will be to one like losing one’s family and property.”  (Bukhari,Book 56, Hadith 799)

Narrated ‘Aisha (R.A): The Prophet (S.A.W) used to say, “O Allah! I seek refuge with You from laziness from geriatric old age, from being in debt, and from committing sins. O Allah! I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the Fire, the afflictions of the grave, the punishment in the grave, and the evil of the affliction of poverty and from the evil of the affliction caused by Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal. O Allah! Wash away my sins with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from the sins as a white garment is cleansed of filth, and let there be a far away distance between me and my sins as You have set far away the East and the West from each other.”  (Bukhari,Book 75, Hadith 386)

STAY AWAY FROM AFFLICTIONS:

Know that everything that you are busy with is going to end up in afflictions other than it is for the sake of Allah and His Prophet (s.a.w), because in this days, there is no ruling according to the Quran and Sunnah of Prophet (alaihiswalathu wa salam). So it is obligatory for Muslims to stay away from all this groups and sects that call you to streets and cities.

SIT DO NOT MOVE INTO THIS CORRUPTIONS:

Narrated Abu Huraira(R.A): Allah’s Apostle (S.A.W) said, “There will be afflictions (in the near future) during which a sitting person will be better than a standing one, and the standing one will be better than a walking one, and the walking one will be better than a running one, and whoever will expose himself to these afflictions, they will destroy him. So whoever can find a place of protection or refuge from them, should take shelter in it.”  (Book 88, Hadith 203)

You have seen, many orthodox Jews does not mix with others, they do not go into streets much. They stay away and remain busy with what concern them. Because they know it is not a wise thing to expose themselves to this afflictions.

Do not run to join different political and religious groups that are busy with fighting each other and boasting about their false hood. They are not tightly holding to the Book of Allah and Traditions of the Prophet Muhammad (alaihiswalathu wa salam).

Stay with people of Zikr (People of Tariqah) and Sohbet (association of spiritual seekers), this is the only place where you find peace,safety and tranquility.

THANK ALLAH AND BE KIND TO THOSE WHO ARE AFFLICTED BY TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS (i.e SYRIANS, IRAQIS, PALESTINIANS, AND OTHER PEOPLE OF THE WORLD)

Malik related to me that he heard that Isa ibn Maryam used to say, “Do not speak much without the mention of Allah for you will harden your hearts. A hard heart is far from Allah, but you do not know. Do not look at the wrong actions of people as if you were lords. Look at your wrong actions as if you were slaves. Some people are afflicted by wrong action and some people are protected from it. Be merciful to the people of affliction and praise Allah for His protection.”  (Muwatta Book 56, Hadith 56.3.8)

Conclusion:

If you follow this advise of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), then you will be successful in this world and hereafter. Whoever disobey the Messenger of Allah (alaihiswalathu wa salam), they will be losers in this world and hereafter.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “whoever obeys me, obeys Allah, and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah, and whoever obeys the ruler I appoint, obeys me, and whoever disobeys him, disobeys me.”  (Sahih Bukhari,Book 89, Hadith 251)

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “All my followers will enter Paradise except those who refuse.” They said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Who will refuse?” He said, “whoever obeys me will enter Paradise, and whoever disobeys me is the one who refuses (to enter it).”  (Sahih Bukhari, Book 92, Hadith 384)

So Allah Says: [Quran 24:63]…So let those beware who dissent from the Prophet’s order, lest fitnah strike them or a painful punishment.

STAY TOGETHER WITH THE AHLUL BAITH- THE PROGENY OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (alaihiswalathu wa salam)

Finally: Tabarani narrates from Abu Dhar, who said: I heard the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa ala Aalihi wa Sahbihi wa Baaraka wa Sallam say:‘The example of my Ahl al-Bait within you is the example of the Ark of Nuh within the nation of Nuh; whoever boarded it was saved and whoever stayed behind was destroyed. It is also the example of the ‘Hitha’ of the Bani Isra’eel.’ [Tabarani in Al-Awsat, Vol. 4, Page 283, Hadith 3506 | Mustadrak al-Hakim, Vol. 2, Page 427, Hadith 3312]

Hadith jami at-Tirmidi ,Darussalam Publications (Wahhabi publications)

-Hadith Number 3788: The Messenger of Allah (alaihiswalathu wa salam) said: “Indeed, I am leaving among you, that which if you hold fast to them, you shall not be misguided after me, one of them is greater than the other:The Book of Allah is a rope extended from the sky to the earth, and my family -the people of my house-and they shall not split until they meet me at Hawd, so look at how you deal with them after me” (Sahih)

So Allah says: “It is not fit for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His  Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and Messenger has indeed strayed in a plain manner.” (33:36)

The Prophet (s.a.w) is advising for your own benefit in this world and hereafter. So be among intelligent ones. Do not be among foolish people.

Do not be among hypocrites , who chose to love some and hate some, for example some people love Imam Hussain (R.A) and hate Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Q.S), or others.  Some people love so and so ahlul baith and hate so and so ahlul bayth.

And whatsoever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it), and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Severe in punishment.” (59:7)

“But no, by your Lord, they can have no (real) faith until they make you (Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them, and find in their souls no resistance against your decisions, but accept them with the fullest conviction.” (4:65)

“O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger, and those of you who are in authority. If you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. This is better and more suitable for final determination.” (4:59)

“And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute (with each other), lest you lose courage and your strength depart, and be patient. Surely, Allah is with those who are patient.” (8:46)

 

Daylmi narrates from Sayyiduna Abu Sa’eed that the beloved Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa ala Aalihi wa Sahbihi wa Baaraka wa Sallam said‘My Ahl ul Bait and the Ansaar are my wealth, my body, my household and my family, the locus of my happiness and my trust. So accept the good deeds of their good and overlook the mistakes of any of them (not from the Hudood of Allah).’ [Daylami in Al-Firdaws, Vol. 1, Page 407, Hadith 1645]

This is sufficient for wise people to listen to and to obey.

Religion is to “Listen and Obey”, not to listen and abandon, nor to ignore.

Allah says: [2:285] ….And they say, “We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.”

“The only saying of the faithful believers, when they are called to Allah and His Messenger, to judge between them, is that they say, “We hear and we obey.” And such are the successful. And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, fears Allah, and keeps his duty, such are the successful.” (24:51-52)

“And be not as those who divided and differed among themselves  after the clear proofs had come to them.” (3:105)

DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR EGO AFTER KNOWLEDGE HAS COME TO YOU:

Quran 25:43 Have you seen the one whose god is his own ego? Will you be his advocate?

Quran 45:23 Have you noted the one whose god is his ego? Consequently, God sends him astray, despite his knowledge, seals his hearing and his mind, and places a veil on his eyes. Who then can guide him, after such a decision by God? Would you not take heed?
