Waliyullahi Hazret Shaykh Abdul Kerim Al-Kibrisi (Q.S) Sahibu Saif
We have counted days on this world. If a man calls himself, ‘I’m smart,’ he must know how he is using these days and how he is spending his daily activities.
Don’t think that 21st century people, they have invented the technology, the computer, the planes, they are dancing and modernising, that they have reached somewhere. No. they become more animals, worse than animals. Because in the old days, people at least they were running to keep some orders. Now, the one who is in the order, they are not keeping orders. The ones that who’s saying, ‘I am Muslim, I am believer,’ is not keeping what Allah is ordering.
The knowledge and the stations that the people they are reaching in this world, it is to make the man to become humble. Not to be proud with himself with the knowledge and with everything that he is doing. No. the knowledge, it is to teach you who you are and who your Lord is. Knowledge, it is to teach us that He (swt) is forever; Abadi and Samavi Lord. And you are Abadi and Samavi servant.
Those people in jahiliyyah time also they have houses. According to their time, they have nice clothes that they were wearing. They had their own laws. They think that they were on the right ways, so many of them. When Holy Prophet came and say to them, ‘this is the wrong road. You are going towards the direction of sheytan, to Jahannam. Turn your face to Jannat,’ they uprise to the Prophet (asws).
Some children, they went with the Prophet. Parents they know and they said, ‘he’s putting wrong manners to our children.’ Some, their parents went with the Prophet, their children started rising against to the Prophet. Some wives went to the Prophet, the husbands were rising against to the Prophet. Some husbands went to the Prophet, wives rising against to the Prophet.
Same thing is happening now. Don’t think that you are just, ‘ohh.. so hard for me. Ohh..this is too hard.’ What is hard for you?
You are not putting one step forward. Not ten. You are not giving up from anything. Nothing. You are just leaving the Kufr lifestyle. That’s all. Later claiming, ‘I am Muslims. We are the best of the Muslims.’
No you are not. Allah is saying to us, ‘if you want to change, be with Saliheen.’ Be with those ones. Listen to them. Take it from them and learn and apply to your life.
If you are taking this sohbet seriously, you have to show serious activities. If you don’t take it, it’s still okay with me. I will speak. But we must wake up to our own selves. The Tornado is about to happen. We must wake up before it’s too late.
So now the Sheykh and the murshid comes, and he will show you something that you will not like. You sa
COMMENTS: JOUHAR ALI NAQSHBANDI AL-HASSANI
If you do not know your own self, your soul your spirit (rooh), that is your real existence . then how can you claim that you can know Quran and knowledge of others?
Your own self (Nafs and Rooh) body and spirit is with you 24 hours, Soul except when you sleep!. And you do not even know yourself!.
Do you know how many spots in your back head without the help of someone?
So if you do not know yourself(your soul), then you are not fit to be followed, you cannot follow your own self in your deen matters (religion). And no part of your life is excluded from your religion!.
Because Allah says:
17.36. Do not follow that of which you have no knowledge (whether it is good or bad), and refrain from groundless assertions and conjectures. Surely the hearing, the sight, and the heart – each of these is subject to questioning about it (you are answerable, and will be called to account, for each of these on the Day of Judgment).Because if you follow yourself in deen, or follow someone else who do not know himself, then you are following misguided ones and read below verses from Quran 25:43 and 45:23
You cannot even follow yourself , because you still do not know yourself!!!
Therefore Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala says in Quran:
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?
This is why you cannot depend on yourself in the Path of Haqq. You need a Shaykh, even if you learnt all sciences and religious books by heart, you are still corrupt!.
You need a qualified trainer (Murshid Kaamil) to train you and prepare you for the journey to Allah and Rasool alaihiswalathu wa salam.
Does not Hadith say, when you travel appoint a leader on you?
So who is your leader in the journey (migration to Allah and Rasool alaihiswalathu wa salam)?
On the authority of Omar bin Al-Khattab, who said : I heared the messenger of Allah salla Allah u alihi wa sallamsay :
“Actions are but by intention and every man shall have but that which he intended. Thus he whose migration was for Allah and His messenger, his migration was for Allah and His messenger,and he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his migration was for that for which he migrated.” related by Bukhari and Muslim
That is the leader (Imam, spiritual guide) Allah asking you to seek in Sura Isra verse 80.
Say: “O my Lord! Let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honour, and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honour; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).”
They are the Muttaqeen and they are the guided ones and they are guided by those who are in the grace of Allah.
Quran 2:2This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah;
Quran 1:7 The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.
They are those who are the Imams and Shyakhs of ahlul bayt up on the greater majority of Muslims and the Imams they followed them.
Tirmidhi, denoting it Hassan, and Haakim narrated from Zaid bin Arqam that the beloved Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa ala Aalihi wa Sahbihi wa Baaraka wa Sallam said
إني تارك فيكم ما إن تمسكتم به لن تضلو بعدي: كتاب الله وعترتي أهل بيتي ولن يفترقا حتى يردا علي الحوض، فأنظروا كيف تخلفوني فيهما
‘Verily I am leaving in you that to which if you firmly hold onto you will not go astray after me; The Book of Allah and my family the Ahl al-Bait. These two will not be separated until they meet me at the Fountain (of Kawthar), so look (take care) at how you deal with them after me.’ [Sunan Tirmidhi, Vol. 5, Page 626, Hadith 3788 | Mustadrak al-Hakim, Vol. 3, Page 160, Hadith 4711]
Ibn Shayba and Musadad in their respective Musnads; Hakeem Tirmidhi in ‘Nawaadir Al Usool’, Abu Ya’laa and Tabarani narrated from Salama bin Aku’ that the beloved Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa ala Aalihi wa Sahbihi wa Baaraka wa Sallam said
الندم أمان لأهل السماء وأهل بيتي أمان لأمتي
‘The stars are the refuge for the people of the Heavans and my Ahl al-Bait is the refuge for my Ummah.’ [Ibn Hajar in Matalib al-Aaliya, Vol. 4, Page 262, Hadith 3972 | Tabarani in Al-Kabir, Vol. 7, Page 22, Hadith 6260 | Kanz al-Ummal, Vol. 12, Page 101]
Importance of a Spiritual Guide:
Hazret Ali Ibn Abi Taalib (Radiyallahu Anhu) saying :
أذا المرء ربّي نفسه بمراده لقد شاد بنيانا علي غير أسّه “
ومن لم تربّيه الرجال وتسقه لبانا لهم قد درّ من ثدى قدسه
فذاك لقيط ماله نسبة الولا ولن يتعدّى غير ابناء جنسه
(30 قلا دة الجواهر )
“When someone make tarbiyyath himself without a Shaykh, it is like he constructing a building without the foundation!,Those who do not have tarbiyath of shyakhs will not get the spiritual wisdom coming from Allah like a fountain of wisdom coming through the Shaykhs ,thus he will not reach in lofty stations of faith. He will be like illegitimate children who got someone to be called as a father!”
(Qalaidul Jawahir 30)
And by Allah We know that the guided sect is those who followed the major body of Muslims (Ahlu Sunna Wal Jamah) and it’s authentic path of Tasawwuf (Tarika)
There is a big job ahead of us to prepare ourselves for our SahibulSaif return, so that he is going to return and we are not going to be empty. Just saying, ‘Ohh… I miss you. Ohh…I love you,’ but not doing anything.
So many are saying, ‘Ohh…my life has changed…etc…etc…’ Of course your life has changed, because you are no longer here.
For us, what has changed?
It hasn’t change. It has become more heavy, the work has become a little bit more serious. Of course, we are not looking, you or me, we are not looking like we are the one who is carrying it. It is our Sheykh that is giving us the energy and he is giving us the power and the meded to do this. Anything that is good, is coming from him, from the Holy Prophet (asws), from Allah (swt).
We have work to do. It’s a heavy work. With our Sheykh, we can carry the whole world. Not a problem. Never doubt, never have any suspicion, never have any weakness. We can carry not this world, we can carry thousands of worlds like this with the blessings and with the support of our Sheykh. Nothing else.
If you are looking and you are saying, ‘it’s because of me,’ that time, you are going to be crushed under your own burdens. Crushed under your own sins and other people’s also. Because they are looking at you and they are thinking that you are something.
Sahibu Saif Hazret Shaykh abdul Kerim Al-Kibrisi (Q.S)
What is cleanness and what is dirtiness in Islam?
The Physical cleanness, everyone is clean, they go to the shower two, three times a day. But the dirtiness is the disobedience.
Sheytan was a beautiful creature, he was shining inside the Paradises. Angels, they were looking up to that one. His appearances was very beautiful too. Soon as he became disobedience to Allah, that Nur, that light went away, and he turned into the worst ugly creature through disobedience. And he was sent down to earth. He changed all that with disobedience.
Islam came to make us to be clean, to be clean from every wrong ideas and to enter into Paradise. Allah swt is saying to us, ‘You must come out clean because where you came from is Paradise and Paradise is for clean people. When you go to the world you are dirtying yourself. Clean yourself before you come out from it and only then will you come back to Paradise. Otherwise, if you didn’t clean yourself in the world, then the fire is waiting for you because the fire is the only thing that will clean you.’
Maybe you don’t know but I used to do welding job. I was a welder and I used to do swords. I work on big pieces of metals that were very rusty. There was a coal fire burning and when I put that rusty metal inside the fire, the whole thing turned red. Then I took it out, and placed it on a metal platform and start hitting it with a hammer… tak, tak, tak, tak, two three times and later when it cooled down I would find that there is no more rust. It cleaned the rust right away. If you want to clean that rust by hand it would be impossible. But putting it in the fire, taking it out, putting it on earth, tak, tak, tak three times and it is shiny (Sheykh smiles).
So Allah swt is saying to us that if you come out dirty from this life then the fire is going to clean you. Bodily dirtiness is not like that rust. The body may be dirty on the outside. Maybe you worked too much and you didn’t get the chance to clean yourself up and the Angel of Death came to you. That is okay. Dirtiness is here (Sheykh pointing at the heart).
Pride is the biggest dirtiness that man can have. And praising his own ego, ooh… Then you do need to stay some time in the fire because that is a big dirtiness that you have inside and it needs to be cleaned.
If you think of life like this and if you think like this every day, when Maghrib time approaches we start judging our own selves making our own accounting. Then slowly we will reach somewhere. Daily we will put our lives in front of us saying, ‘I did this, this, this and this today. I got up in the morning I went to this way I came across this person and the person looked very ugly to me but I still did not think bad about this person and I prayed for that one. This happened that happened…’ and you calculate your own self and you can find for yourself what kind of life you have lived today.
So that is important. You must get rid of that smell. You must get rid of the inside dirtiness. That’s why Islam came, to get rid of the characteristics of the ego.
SATANIC SECTS IN ISLAM:
Auzubillahi mina Shaytani Rajeem
Some Qaum (sect) of Satan also doing all five obligatory duties of a Muslims, except that they do not accept and follow Imams/Shaykhs of this time and did not give bayat (oath of allegiance).
If you believe in the words of Muhyiddin Shaykh (Shaykh Muhyiddin Abdul Qadir Al-Jilaniabove all the words of your local scholars, then this is what he said: “Those who do not have a Shaykh, their Shaykh is Satan”
Ok, now, if you do not believe in Shaykh Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani (Q.S) lets see what Prophet alaihiswalathu wa salam says:
“Those who die without an Imam dies death of Jahiliyah (death of pre Islamic period)”
OK, now, may be you are a quranist, that you don’t believe in hadiths?, lets see what Quran says:
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?
The Advocates (guides) are Allah, Rasool and those who are in authority among you.
4:59 O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you.
They are the helpers in the Path of Truth, so now can you reject to follow Imams of this times, even if you are Sunni,Salafi or quranist?
17:80 Say: “O my Lord! Let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honour, and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honour; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).”
And Prophet alaihiswalathu wa salam says. Imams will be there in every century. So the common sense is enough to understand that, that Imams lineage must be from the same unbroken chain of Aqeedha and group.
Prophet alaihiswalathu wa salam said: “Allah shall raise for this Ummah at the head of every century a man who shall renew (or revive) for it its religion.”
—Sunan Abu Dawood, Book 37: Kitab al-Malahim [Battles]
How can some Imams (Mujaddids) be from some aqeedha which is opposite to the aqeedha of the major body of Muslims and their Imams?
Sahih Muslim Book 020, Hadith Number 4553.
Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman said, “People used to ask the Prophet, peace be upon him, about good things, but I used to ask him about bad things because I was afraid that they might overtake me. I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, we were lost in ignorance (jahiliyyah) and evil, then Allah brought this good (i.e. Islam). Will some evil come after this good thing?’ He said, ‘Yes’ I asked, ‘And will some good come after that evil?’ He said, ‘Yes, but it will be tainted with some evil’ I asked, ‘How will it be tainted?’ He said, ‘There will be some people who will lead others on a path different from mine. You will see good and bad in them.’ I asked, ‘Will some evil come after that good?’ He said, ‘Some people will be standing and calling at the gates of Hell; whoever responds to their call, they will throw him into the Fire.’ I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, describe them for us.’ He said, ‘They will be from our own people, and will speak our language.’ I asked, ‘What do you advise me to do if I should live to see that?’ He said, ‘Stick to the main body (jama’ah) of the Muslims and their leader (imam).’ I asked, What if there is no main body and no leader?’ He said, ‘Isolate yourself from all of these sects, even if you have to eat the roots of trees until death overcomes you while you are in that state.’ “
Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, “The Jews split into 71 groups; 1 group will enter Paradise and 70 will enter Hell. The Christians split into 72 groups; 1 group will enter Paradise and 71 will enter Hell. By Him in Whose Power is the life of Muhammad, without doubt, my Ummah will be divided into 73 groups. Only one will enter Paradise and 72 will enter Hell.”
When asked about which group will be on the right path, the Beloved Messenger of Allah replied, “The main body (Jamaat) of the Muslims.”
[Ibn Majah’s Kitab al-Fitan; Hafiz ibn Kathir’s Signs before Day of Judgment, page 14]
Prophet alaihiswalathu wa salam said :“There was disagreement amongst Jews and they split into 72 groups. In exactly the same way, there will be disagreement and divisions in my Ummah. It will split into 73 groups. Except for one of these groups, all the remaining will be thrown into Hell.”
When asked about which group will be on the right path, the Beloved Messenger of Allah replied, “The group on the right path, which will enter Paradise, will be the group which follows my Sunnah and this will be the largest group of Muslims.”
[Tirmidhi; Imam Ahmad; Abu Dawud; Mishkat]
Prophet alaihiswalathu wa salam, said, “Without doubt, my Ummah will never be gathered in misguidance. Whenever you see disagreement, hold fast to the greater majority.”
[Ibn Majah]
Prophet alaihiswalathu wa salam said “”Follow the way of the largest group of Muslims! For he who deviates from this group will be thrown into Hell!”
[Ibne Majah]
Th Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah beupon him, said, “The devil continually pursues human as a wolf pursues sheep. The wolf only dares to attack those sheep which have separated from the rest of the flock and are standing alone. And so, my followers and my devotees! Save yourselves from being caught in the traps of misguidance and firmly remain with the largest and most well-known group of Muslims!”
[Imam Ahmad]
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, “Allah will never allow my Ummah to unite upon misguidance and incorrect beliefs. Allah’s mercy, blessings and protection are with the largest group of Muslims. And he who deviates from the largest group of Muslims will be thrown into Hell.”
[Tirmidhi]
Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, “He who deviates himself from the largest group of Muslims, even as much as a hand span, has himself cut off his connection with Islam.”
[Abu Dawud; Imam Ahmed]
Prophet peace and blessings of Allah beupon him, said, “The Jews divided into 71 sects, 1 will enter Paradise and 70 will enter Hell. The Christians were divided into 72 sects. By the One whose Hand my soul is in, my Ummah will be divided into 73 sects, 72 of which will enter Hell.”
The Companions asked, “Which is the saved sect?” The Holy Prophet replied, “al-Jamaah.”
[Ibn Majah’s Kitaab Al Fitan, Hadith no. 3982]
So it is incumbent up on Muslims to follow the Major group of Muslims, that is to follow Quran ,sunnah and ahlul bayt:
Tirmidhi, Husna and Al-Hakim record from Zaid bin Arqam that
the Holy Prophet (Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim) said: “I
am leaving amongst you those things that if you remain attached to
them you will not deviate after me. (they are) the Book of Allah
and my Progeny (‘Itriy), my Ahlul Bayt . They will not separate till
they reach me at the pool. So be careful how you behave with them
(after me).
What happened to your intellect?
The master (Shaykh of Tasawwuf) must have four qualifications:
He must be a scholar in all the obligations of the religion;
He must be a Knower (carif);
He must be an expert in the way of purifying the Self;
He must be authorised by his shaikh to give guidance.
Being a Scholar in the Obligations of the Religion
The Shaykh must be a scholar in all religious obligations, such as the conditions of prayers, the conditions of fasting and the conditions of zakat (obligatory charity). He must be knowledgeable in the Jurisprudence of Islam and all necessary matters of Islamic Shari’ah. He must be a scholar in the Science of Tawhid (Oneness) according to the Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jama’at, and all the and all the other conditions of faith (iman).
Being a Knower
To be a Knower means the master or murshid must have the knowledge of the conditions of the state of Ihsan, as mentioned by the Prophet (s) in the hadith, “Worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, and if you are not seeing Him, know that He is seeing you.” A Knower must bear witness in his heart that Allah is the Unique One in His Essence, and in His Attributes, and in His Actions. He must know about His Attributes through Vision and Taste, by experiencing self-effacement in the Divine Presence.
Being Sanctified
The Master must have already purified or sanctified himself as a seeker under a master of his own. He will have come to know the different stages of the ego, its illnesses and its defects. The Master must be fully aware of all the methods Satan uses to enter the heart. He must know all the ways to sanctify others and the methods to heal his followers in order to raise them up to reach the State of Perfection.
If a seeker comes to the shaikh with perfect sincerity and truthfulness, asking to be initiated in the order, the shaikh must not hurry to initiate him, until he knows that he will remain trustworthy when he reaches the Goal. He must look at his capability. If his capability corresponds to the capability of the Close Ones (muqarrabin), then he will show him the way, as it is the way of the Trustworthy.
That way is built on killing one’s own will, and connecting and submitting oneself to the will of one’s shaikh. One must do as the Prophet (s) said, “Die before you die!” He must leave his natural will, which causes him to move according to his mind, and leave all his affairs to the will of his shaikh. The shaikh will lift him up through a path filled with difficulties, train him through worship, and guide him to a state of complete Self-Effacement. Only this will elevate him to the Divine Presence.
That is why Khwaja Ubaidullah al-Ahrar said: “Who is the shaikh? The shaikh is the one who can know, through the vision that Allah has granted him, the capability of his murid. From the day he meets him to the day of his death, he will know which state the murid will attain, and in which way he will taste, and in which way he will reach the Divine Presence. If the shaikh cannot summon that knowledge, it is forbidden (haram) for him to give the seeker initiation.”
He continued, “The shaikh must avoid the wealth of his murid. If the murid wishes to help the shaikh it is his choice. The states of guidance are above all states, and the master must not ask except from the Divine Presence.”
“It is said that one time a murid of Junaid came to him and wanted to give him all his money. Junaid refused and said, ‘No.’ When that same murid reached the State of Perfection and was lifted up to the Divine Presence, he came to Junaid and again wanted to give all his money to him. At that time he said, ‘Yes. Now, I accept, because when you give now, you will not regret later.’
“That is why we don’t like our murids to give all their money to the shaikh. When they haven’t reached the state of perfection, they might regret later and be in doubt, and they will be harmed. But when the murid reaches that state he will give sincerely and will never regret it later. The evidence of this is that Sayyidina Abu Bakr and Sayyidina ‘Umar came to the Prophet (s) and from the first Sayyidina Abu Bakr gave all his money. The Prophet (s) asked, ‘What have you left for your family?’ He replied, ‘I have left them Allah and his Prophet (s).’ When the murid reaches the state of real generosity and real perfection, then the shaikh may accept what he gives. If he has not reached that state his gift must not be accepted.”
The shaikh must not order any of his followers to do something he himself cannot do or would not do. He must know all the obligatory and forbidden actions according to the Shari’ah. Similary, he must know all the States of spirituality, and must have tasted all Tastes, so that he is an example, and when he speaks he speaks with real knowledge.
An example of this is a lady who came to a perfect shaikh one time with her son, saying, “My son is always asking for sweets. Please pray for him to leave that desire, as I don’t always have sweets to give him.” He said, “Be patient for three days and then bring him back to me.” After three days she brought him back and the shaikh told him, “O my son, don’t eat candies, because it is harmful for your stomach.” From that day the child never ate sweets again. Some time later someone asked the shaikh, “Why did you wait three days to give the child that advice?” The shaikh replied, “When the lady came to me, she asked me to prevent her child from eating sweets. I couldn’t do that for him because I myself was under that temptation of eating sweets. So I stopped eating sweets for three days. When I had stopped, I was able to make a du’a for him, and that du’a was acceptable.”
Qushayri relates in his Letter that allaj was once asked to talk about poverty. He said, “Wait a minute.” He entered his house, went out somewhere and came back. Then he sat and spoke, saying poverty consists of this and this and that. One murid asked him, “O my shaikh, why didn’t you speak like this from the beginning?” He said, “When I was asked, I had one dirham in my house. I couldn’t speak about poverty while I still had something. So I went took that dirham, went and spent it in Allah’s way, and then I could speak on poverty.”
Having His Master’s Authorization
The Shaikh must have authorization from his Master for training and uplifting his followers and showing the Way of this Path. That ijaza (permission) must reach him through the chain of the grandshaikhs from one to another, all the way back to the Prophet (s). As the wise person will not go to a doctor who has no license in healing, so the seeker in this way must find a perfect guide who has received the license, the ijaza, from his shaikh.
Imam Muslim said, “This great knowledge [the knowledge of the self] is by itself the religion. So you have to know from whom you take your religion.” In the book of Hafiz ibn Ali Kanz al-cUmmal,” the following hadith is found. The Prophet (s) said, “O Umar, your din is your flesh and blood. Look at those from whom you take your din; take it from those who are on the right path and don’t take from those who deviated.” A knower said, “Knowledge is a spirit which is blown into the hearts, not philosophy or pretty tales to be written. So be very careful from whom you take it.”
The Signs of Mastery
The main indication of mastery is that when you sit with a master you feel a breeze of faith, spiritual pleasure. He doesn’t speak except for Allah. He is always advising the good. You will benefit from being in his company as you benefit from his words. You will benefit when you are far from him as you benefit when you are near him. You must see among his murids the picture of faith, sincerity, humbleness and taqwa (God-consciousness), and you must remember, when you are mixing with them, the highest state of love and truth and deference to others. You must see that his followers represent all different kinds of people in the community. That is how the Companions of the Prophet were.
The above description is enough to understand and distinguish between a true Shaykh and false Shaykh.
So wake up yourself and accept the truth.
Wa Mina Allahu tawfiq
The inheritance of Divine Knowledge and Sainthood is granted by following Muhmamad Rasool Allah and those who followed them in Perfection (Ihsan)
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani (Q.S)-Sulthan of Saints
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani (Q.S),Sohbah (Discourse) on how to receive a perfume from Heavens-
” Why are you searching for honor on earth? Dunya is manure. Dunya (this world) is a carcass.
Whoever stands as guard of dunya and wants honor, he is like that (carcass).
Those who have honor from heavens, their appearance is beautiful, without putting perfume, they have a nice smell.
Their smell is 70x better than rose perfume. They have a nice smell.
They have a nice smell in the assemblies they join. Ay Yaran Shah Mardan.
The beloved ones of Shah Mardan, they’re not in need of using perfume.
Because their smell has come from Shah Mardan. The smell of Shah Mardan is not from earth, it’s from heavens.
Shah Mardan’s honor is from heavens. It isn’t from earth.
You should look. Search for honor from heavens. Don’t look for honor by your name written in newspapers. It is worthless.
Ay Shah Mardan. The inhabitants of heavens and earth love you. You are loved. O those who accept Shah Mardan… Ali Ibn Abu Talib, Allah’s Lion..
Follow his morals, holdfast to his way. Accept his adab (good manners). The honor of dunya is not important. You will be in the station of honor in hereafter.
Take the honorof akhirah (hereafter). The honor of earth is not honor. Carcass.
A carcass doesn’t give people honor. And those guarding carcasses have no honor either. And those running after carcasses are jackals.
Jackals. Don’t be from them! Search for the honor of heavens!” Al Fatiha
Waliyullahi Sahibu Saif Hazret Shaykh Abdul Kerim Al-Kibrisi (Q.S)
Man is not watching to see and to realizing, to understand through the history that Allah SWT is giving to us through all holy books. Some may not like what the Qu’ran is saying. It’s okay. Take what the Taurat (Torah) is saying. Look what’s being mentioned in Taurat, in the story of Namrud (Nimrod) and Ibrahim(Abraham) (A.s.). What Namrud declared?
He said ” I am the lord of the earth. Everywhere belongs to me. ” And Allah put 1 servant in front of him saying to him, “Leave that arrogance. Make prostration to your Lord who has given you all this power.” Saying to him, “Lord? I am the lord. I am the creator. What your lord does?”
“He gives life and takes life.”
That one was saying, “It’s easy. I do the same.” He put 2 prisoners in front of him saying , ” One I am setting free. I am giving life to him. The other one , take his life. Kill him.” Hmm. Then Ibrahim (As) was saying to him, “In that case….”, Prophets don’t argue. He said, “In that case, my lord is raising the sun from the East. You stop it. You raise it from the west.”
Namrud started shaking. And knowing that he cannot do that he said to him, “Not even the one you are claiming to be your Lord can do that.” He said , ” He can.” For that is Allah promising from that day, “Before Judgement Day, We are going to raise the sun from the west one time. Make sure that you are asking forgiveness up till that day. When the sun is rising from the west again, the door of forgiveness is closed. no one’s asking for forgiveness after that is going to be accepted.

Saint of Allah Shaykh Abdul Kerim Al-Kibrisi (Q.S)-Sahibu Saif
Now, I’m going to give you one more example and then we will have our dinner inshaAllah. This situation is just bringing you back to the Prophet’s (sws) time. They did all kinds of cruelties to the Prophet (sws). He didn’t say any word against them. Then finally he left Mecca and he came to Medina. And the people of Medina accepted him, supported him. So the people of Mecca decided to say, ‘If we leave them to stay, they are going to become stronger. So it’s better to go now to destroy them’. It’s just like what they’re trying to do to me here.
When the Holy Prophet (sws) is given order by Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) saying, ‘Start defending yourselves now’, only 300 Sahaba went out there to defend themselves against 4,000 people coming with the best weapons in their hands. And they didn’t have weapons. They had only sticks and things in their hands. They went out there to defend their rights.
Before the war began another stranger was coming there and saying, ‘What’s happening here?’ And they said to him, ‘This is what’s happening’. He said, ‘You mean this group of people prepared and came to destroy you because you believe in Allah and His Prophet (sws)?’ They said, ‘Yes’. And he said, ‘Can I join in? Because it seems like they are taking your rights away and I should be on your side’. Looking at the 300 people and looking at the 4,000, he knew that there’s a big possibility that they are going to lose. He said, ‘I am standing and defending the truth. This is wrong’. They brought him to the Prophet (sws) and the Prophet (sws) said to him, ‘Then why don’t you believe what I am just saying to you? Do you have any better evidence than this? Just say ‘La ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah’ and after you go into that war, either you will become a martyr or you will become a veteran’. And he said, ‘What do I have to do?’ The Prophet (sws) said, ‘This is what it is’. He said, ‘This is true. I accept it.’
And the war began. The person just had a spear in his hand. He tried to throw it but before he could throw it, one arrow came to him and he died. He didn’t do any single thing. And he was kind of a rebel. He didn’t do a single thing. After the war the Holy Prophet (sws) looked at that one and said, ‘This one just entered to the best place of Paradise’. They said, ‘He didn’t do anything’. He said, ‘He defended the truth. He stood on the side of the truth’.
If you are not doing anything then at least stand on the side of the truth just like all these people who are doing now.
Saint of Allah Sahibu Saif Shaykh Abdul Kerim Al-Kibrisi (Q.S)
Holy Prophet (asws) is saying, ‘Open signs of the Qiyamat is when you walk in the streets, you are not going to recognize which one is male, which one is female.’
Isn’t that what’s happening now? Say to me that this is not happening to you? Go walk in the street and you’ll see.
Signs of the last days, Judgement Day is when the males, they are going to be satisfied with each other. Females they are going to be satisfied with each other. Isn’t that what’s happening now?
Don’t be fooled by sheytan. Yes. Save yourselves from that sickness. Pull yourself away. Even if you see, don’t turn your head to look at it. They are committing the biggest sin and you are being partner of it. At least one arrow from sheytan is coming out to your heart that time.
Any time when somebody is committing a sin, and you are turning to look at it, sheytan is aiming to your heart hitting to your heart. Slowly, that’s why slowly, people they are finding familiarity with that. That means you are getting fooled. Be careful, Sheytan is very clever on that way.
Don’t let sheytan to fool you. If you get hooked by sheytan, ahaa, you’ll be in big trouble later. You need to have somebody very strong to cut that rope away. And that time, you‘re going to scream. You’re going to cry. That is what’s happening to people.
Pull yourself away from that. If you save yourself, help will reach to you. If the whole world becomes disobedient, if you are obedient one, a special rahmat is going to come to you.
Allah doesn’t forget you. Allah doesn’t forget any creature that He has created. He’s not forgetting the ants that He has created. He’s not forgetting all the animals that He has created. There’s uncountless kind of creatures living in the oceans, in the sea, He’s not forgetting them. Uncountless creatures they are living in the mountains, He’s not forgetting them. Uncountless creatures living under the earth, He’s not forgetting them. The man that He has created in Ahsani-Taqweem, the most perfect, you think He’s going to forget you?
He didn’t. But you forget Allah. You are not remembering Him. You are not remembering Him. You disconnect yourself from that One. If you cut the wiring coming to that light, no light is going to be here. That’s what man did. They cut that wire that is coming from his Lord to him. And he’s in darkness now. He’s not seeing light. Because he’s in darkness, he’s looking everywhere, it is in darkness. Everywhere is complete darkness.

Sohbah of the 16th of May 2013,
Lefke – Cyprus
Dastur, Madad, Madad. Madad Ya Rijal Allah Madad. Assalamu Alaikum. Ay Yaran Shah Mardan. Dastur Madad.
We are waiting for your help/ support. So we won’t be weak, so our strength will increase. So our glory will increase. So our state will find power. May the honor of Ummuhan (Hala Sultan) increase. May her gaze always be on us.
Ay Gani Padishah, O our Lord, thanks and praise thanks and praise thanks and praise to the One giving our bodies
stength. O Glorious Prophet (sws), O Glorious Prophet, O Allah’s Beloved One, If we were the sand that you
stepped on… Your honor O Glorious Prophet, is from Allah (swt). There is no one in heavens or earth who can
appreciate your honor. O Glorious Prophet! Grant us help/ support. And may Ummuhan (Hala Sultan) also grant
us help / support. Assalamu Alaikum Ay Yaran Shah Mardan.
May our day pass with honor. May our bodies work on the way of Allah’s worship. May our work our efforts
be service for our Lord. Let’s say – Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. How nice, go ahead O Shah Mardan. Let’s
listen to your instructions. Go ahead O Shah Mardan, Your advice and the adab (good manners) that you will
teach us, we are asking for help/ support to keep those adab. He doesn’t make them suffer, Shah Mardan
does not make his Yaran (ones who love him) to suffer. He doesn’t make them miserable or humiliated.
Shah Mardan’s Yaran, his beloved ones, aren’t made disgraceful. There is no disgrace for them. Thay are
given honnor and value. It is sent down from heavens to earth. honnor, value, superiority It is a divine grant
that it was presented to Prophet (sws). Izzatlu In all of creation, the honnor and value and superiority, that
a person cannot reach was granted to Hz. Rasulullah (sws), Allah’s Beloved one. And His cousin, Shah Mardan
brings honor to this world. Whoever wants honor, let him come to the way of Shah Mardan. So our state will find power. May the honor of Ummuhan (Hala Sultan) increase. May her gaze always be on us.
O Our Lord, The honor of earth, does not do anything for us. O our Lord, with the honor of heavens and
earth, we want from the honor of Your honorable Prophet (sws). Honor comes from heavens. Honor is
not given from earth. People cannot give honor to one another. The honor of people is from heavens.
That is real honor. If not, it is made-up. O people, search for real honor. Ay Yaran Shah Mardan.
Shah Mardan got his honor from heavens. It isn’t from earth. And that is why, his Yaran, his beloved
ones, his friends, their honor also comes from heavens. It comes from heavens to Shah Mardan. And
from Shah Mardan, it goes to his Yaran, to his beloved ones. Let’s be beloved ones to Shah Mardan’s
Yaran. We cannot reach Shah Mardan. Reach to the beloved ones of Shah Mardan so you can find honor!
And on earth, there is a type of honor according to earth. But our true honor is in the hereafter. Ay Shah
Mardan Sahibul Maydan Talibu Ridur Rahman. The gate of the city of knowledge is Shah Mardan.
Teach us, so we will learn. So we will learn, how to fulfill our servanthood for our Lord. That is a very
high rank. But Allah’s (swt) His representative in heavens and earth the one who was given the
sultanate of heavens and earth Sultanul Kawnayn, Sultan of dunya and akhira Habibur Rahman,
Rasulullah Salawatullahi wa Salamu Alayh. wa Ridwan, our Master. Connect with him. How can you
connect to him? By Shah Mardan. Go on his way, that is the honorable way. The honor of earth
is not important. You should have honor in heavens. Your name should be written in heavens, so
they call you an honorable servant. Hold on to the way of Shah Mardan! So your name will be
written as an honorable one in heavens. In newspapers they claim to be something. What value
does greatness from newspapers have? Empty titles. Zero honor. Honor is honor sent from
heavens. Titles that people give one another on earth don’t give people honor. Your name should
be written in heavens among names of honorable ones. Look at this person.
Why are you searching for honor on earth? Dunya is manure. Dunya (this world) is a carcass.
Whoever stands as guard of dunya and wants honor, he is like that (carcass). Those who have
honor from heavens, their appearance is beautiful, without putting perfume, they have a nice
smell. Their smell is 70x better than rose perfume. They have a nice smell. They have a nice
smell in the assemblies they join. Ay Yaran Shah Mardan. The beloved ones of Shah Mardan,
they’re not in need of using perfume. Because their smell has come from Shah Mardan. The
smell of Shah Mardan is not from earth, it’s from heavens. Shah Mardan’s honor is from heavens.
It isn’t from earth. You should look. Search for honor from heavens. Don’t look for honor by
your name written in newspapers. It is worthless. Ay Shah Mardan. The inhabitants of heavens
and earth love you. You are loved. O those who accept Shah Mardan… Ali Ibn Abu Talib,
Allah’s Lion… Follow his morals, holdfast to his way. Accept his adab (good manners). The
honor of dunya is not important. You will be in the station of honor in hereafter. Take the honor
of akhirah (hereafter). The honor of earth is not honor. Carcass. A carcass doesn’t give people
honor. And those guarding carcasses have no honor either. And those running after carcasses are
jackals. Jackals. Don’t be from them! Search for the honor of heavens!
O Shiite, and O Alawi, holdfast to the way of Shah Mardan. That is how he is saying, this is from
Shah Mardan. If you love Shah Mardan, follow his morals/ ethics. Don’t run after carcasses.
Those running after carcasses are jackals, wolves. Those running after carcasses, are not people.
Look to be more like angels. You will enter the presence of Allah (swt). You will find Shah
Mardan. Shah Mardan He will teach you how to stand in the presence. If there is one spot in your
heart of love for dunya, then they do not have any value. Go ahead O Shah Mardan Look at his
teachings, o people. Especially those claiming to be shiite, those claiming to be Alawi. Their
work will be clean. Their rule will be based on justice. Their lives will be clean. Look to be like
them, O Yaran of Shah Mardan. You will be like that. If not, you will not be accepted. “And
whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein” (4:93) Allah
(swt) is saying. O shiite and alawi. The punishment for killing a believer deliberately, is eternal
hell, Allah (swt) is saying. Don’t enter that category. Move back.
Those attacking your religion, defend your religion. But don’t touch believers, don’t kill
believers. Those saying – La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun Rasulullah, don’t lift your sword to
them. Don’t lift your sword to them. He is convicted of punishment in eternal hell. Whoever kills
a believer, will stay in hell eternally. O our Lord, send us a Master. Send us a Sultan. Send us
Shah Mardan. To teach the boundaries to those who do not know their limits. Send a Sultan. This
is a holy month. It is Rajab Shahrullah (month of Allah). Keep respect for this month. O shiite
and alawi. Don’t kill people! Let them live. This is the month of Allah. The holy month that
Allah (swt) has associated with himself. With respect to this month, leave your weapons. Don’t
oppress Muslims! Don’t kill innocent ones! Or else Divine Anger will be on you. And now no
one can stand against it.
Go ahead, O Shah Mardan, Sahib Maydan. Talibu Huda r-Rahman. Let us to be from your
Yaran, your beloved ones. Let us be from those who keep your way. And accept us O Shah
Mardan. So we may be with you. Shah Mardan never even stepped on an ant wrongfully. Those
hiding in their homes, to go to their door and break it down, enter, and invade their virtue and
honor, they will suffer Divine Anger, Beware! Divine Anger everyday it is coming one degree
closer. Divine vengence is coming. Leave/ stop what you are doing. Let’s be pleasant. Let’s love
and be loved, Shah Mardan is saying. This is our way. To take the hand of the one who has
fallen, that is our way. Let’s keep the adab of humanity, that is our way. MashaAllah Ay Shah
Mardan. We are waiting for the Sultan that will come from your pure lineage. Because we have
become a people who have lost their way. Let Hz. Mahdi (as) come to show us the right way.
May he comes with his sword and banner. Black is the colour of magnificence, and majesty.The
Sahib who will come, wears a black turban. He will come like a wind, like a storm blowing away
liars/fake ones as an hurricane. Pay your respect and wrap up black turban. Because it is the
turban of Shah Mardan.

Oh our Lord, May the sovereignty of satan collapses! Stand up the friends of Shah Mardan! Be,
Saifu-l Maslool min Suyufi-llah, drawn swords of Allah(jj) against falsehood, against satan,

want. Allah(jj) will help us, will give us power, angels will come. Don’t fear from the weapons of
unbelievers. Ya Rabbi, Ya Rabbi give us the safety of true faith, Ya Rabbi. For the sake of Habib Kibriya,

of a lion. Unbelivers had a king,named Richard the lion heart. A servant of Allah, called Richard
the lionheart. He was given this title for a reason. To be a lion heart befits Muslims. suits Muslims,
attribute of Muslims are of lion’s. Isnt he called Richard the lion heart? This title is suitable for
Muslims. He was given that title. Why is that so? He travelled all the way up to Jerusalem to spread
his belief. He found Salahuddin Ayyubi who was a real lion with a lion’s heart against him. May his
station be Paradise. Wait for the owner of these times.

say Arab, shia or alewi, Don’t say Turk or Kurd! Say: we are MUSLIMS! “Huwa Sammakumu Al-Muslimyna”
(22:78) Allahu Dhu l-Jalal is the one who gives us Islam! Oh scholars say it otherwise your torment will be
violent! Tawbah ya Rabbi, Tawbah Ya Rabbi, Tawbah astagfirullah. May our strength and majesty increases!
For the sake of this holy night,may fear falls onto the hearts of oppressors! May they kill each other! May
the banners of Islam raised high! May Mahdi alaihi s-salam comes! For the sake of Beloved Prophet(sws),
oh Shah Mardan Sahib Maydan, from your clean lineage, we wait for Mahdi alaihi s-salam. May he comes
soon! May we open up to destroy reign of satan. We are Muslims al-Hamdu Lillah.
