O Believers! It is not easy to speak from heart to heart. It is easy to prepare and write, but not easy to speak on what is given to us from their generosity. You and I are hearing and learning, but all of us are crazy. I was thinking, “What is my value as a person?” Don’t give too much value to yourself, saying, “I am this or that,” or, “I have a turban, a hat, a scarf.” Instead, ask yourself, “What is my value with what Allah (swt) has honored me?”</span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0 c9"><span class="c4">وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ</span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2 c3">wa laqad karamnaa Bani Adam. </span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2 c3">We have honored the Children of Adam</span><span class="c2">. (al-Israa, 17:70)</span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">This has a meaning; Allah can say this about us, but what can we say about ourselves? It is important to ask yourself, “What is my value?” Evaluate yourself. Don’t say you are a </span><span class="c2">shaykh as m</span><span class="c2">any </span><span class="c2 c3">shuyookh</span><span class="c2"> came before you and left thousands upon thousands of important books, and the </span><span class="c2 c3">shuyookh</span><span class="c2"> of today are reading their books. They cannot come up with something new as everything has to relate to what someone before us said. </span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">So what is our value? We are like a scorpion that, when it finds no one to sting, kills itself. Today the </span><span class="c2 c3">shuyookh</span><span class="c2"> are like scorpions killing themselves because they think they are something and they value themselves too highly. I also make mistakes and say to myself, “What is my value?” Self-evaluation is not to count how much you have, but how much honor Allah (swt) has given you because of your progress in His Way. So as I evaluated myself, I thought, “I will go to a museum filled with all kinds of things, old and new. I will find an old shoe and then find someone to beat me on the head with it and say, “Correct yourself, because you are not more valuable than this old shoe!”</span><p><p class="c0 c1 c6"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">What do we have to do in order to correct ourselves? Today, at conferences, the</span><span class="c2 c3"> shuyookh </span><span class="c2">and </span><span class="c2 c3">muftis </span><span class="c2">in attendance </span><span class="c2">give you their business cards. I went to one such conference and was surprised that I had to read through so many titles just to reach their actual names: “Ph.D,” “B.A.,” “B.Sc.,” “Dr.,” “Master,” “Professor.” Where is the name? I couldn’t find it. </span><span class="c2 c3">Allahu Akbar!</span><span class="c3"> </span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">Once a </span><span class="c2 c3">mureed</span><span class="c2"> went to see a shaykh and </span><span class="c2 c3">mashaa-Allah,</span><span class="c3"> </span><span class="c2">by looking at him, one could easily tell that he is a shaykh and a </span><span class="c2 c3">wali</span><span class="c2">. The </span><span class="c2 c3">mureed </span><span class="c2">was a real </span><span class="c2 c3">`alim</span><span class="c2">, but because of his sincerity he knew that man was a </span><span class="c2 c3">wali</span><span class="c2">. He said, “O my shaykh, I want to be your student.” That shaykh said, “You want to be my student? My students are different. before I teach them the knowledge of Shari`ah and Haqiqah, I first teach them how to be humble. If you want it, you are welcome. If you don’t want it, it is up to you.” The</span><span class="c2 c3"> mureed </span><span class="c2">knew the </span><span class="c2 c3">wali</span><span class="c2"> was</span><span class="c2"> telling the truth and not cheating him. So he said, “Yes, I want to be your student. I extend my hand, please give me </span><span class="c2 c3">baya`</span><span class="c2">.” </span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">It is not easy to take initiation with high-caliber </span><span class="c2 c3">awliyaullah.</span><span class="c2"> I never saw Grandshaykh `AbdAllah (q) give </span><span class="c2 c3">baya` </span><span class="c2">to anyone except Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Mawlana Shaykh Hussain (q) and no others because they could not carry it. Today out of love and mercy, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (q) gives </span><span class="c2 c3">baya`,</span><span class="c2"> and now anyone who thinks they are a “representative” is also giving </span><span class="c2 c3">baya`</span><span class="c2"> without even knowing the its meaning! </span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">So that shaykh said, “Alright, I will give you </span><span class="c2 c3">baya`,</span><span class="c2"> but before that, you have to go down to the city, into the market and get a big basket of walnuts, then go to the </span><span class="c2 c3">masjid, </span><span class="c2">pick up the oldest pair of shoes you can find</span><span class="c2"> and sit with them and the basket by the door.”</span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">Grandshaykh (q) never gave </span><span class="c2 c3">baya`</span><span class="c2"> to anyone because until you studied the full course of Shari`ah and </span><span class="c2 c3">tariqah</span><span class="c2"> they put you under heavy seclusions and experiences, and by the time you finally passed all those tests, you might be 70 years old! That is when they gave baya`</span><span class="c2">, which means you are following Shari`ah completely without making any mistakes, that you do not sway left or right, but remain steadfast and straight on the path.</span><span class="c2"> In </span><span class="c2 c3">tasawwuf</span><span class="c2"> you can’t make mistakes, as real </span><span class="c2 c3">tasawwuf </span><span class="c2">springs from Shari`ah. Therefore, you can’t say, “I am a Sufi,” and you are destroying the Shari`ah of Prophet (s); that is </span><span class="c2 c3">haraam</span><span class="c2">! Anyone who calls himself a “Naqshbandi,” “Qadiri,” “Chisti,” or “Shadhili” and breaks Shari`ah is not a Sufi, but a devil! </span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">Shaykh `Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (q), the most famous </span><span class="c2 c3">ghaus</span><span class="c2"> and Sultan al-Awliya, said, “If you see a shaykh or man claiming to be a Sufi and flying in the air, know that he is Shaytan, as he broke the </span><span class="c2 c3">sunnat </span><span class="c2">of the Prophet (s) by showing off!” Such a person is showing to people, “Look, I am someone different. I can take you to your imagination and give you hallucinations. I can make you high and give you ecstasy, so come to me!” They take everything from you and then throw you to the dogs. They don’t like lions because lions eat you up all at once, but dogs keep biting and give you more punishment. So be careful from these kinds of people!</span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">That is why Grandshaykh (q) did’t give </span><span class="c2 c3">baya`</span><span class="c2">, because no one can carry that responsibility. Also, </span><span class="c2">you can not explain Shar`iah in any manner you like, you can’t play with it and say, “This verse means this and that one means that.” If that was the case, the Sahaabah (r) would have done it, but we didn’t see any of them breaking the meaning of the verses of Holy Qur’an! Today we see that: people explain (their amateur </span><span class="c2 c3">tafseer</span><span class="c2">) without giving examples or being truthful. Such people are running after their own desires only to cheat others and build empires, for which they will be questioned by Allah (swt)! </span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (q) gives </span><span class="c2 c3">baya` </span><span class="c2">only </span><span class="c2">to spread mercy, as now is a different century with a different </span><span class="c2 c3">tajalli; </span><span class="c2">however, </span><span class="c2">he reads this verse:</span><span class="c14"> </span><p><p class="c5"><span class="c4">إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُبَايِعُونَكَ إِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُونَ اللَّهَ يَدُ اللَّهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْ</span><p><p class="c7"><span class="c2 c3">Inna alladheena yubaaee`oonka innamaa yubay`oon'Llah. Yadullaahi fawqa aydeehim.</span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2 c3">Verily, those who give baya` to you (O Muhammad) are giving baya` to Allah. The Hand of Allah is over their hands. </span><span class="c2">(Al-Fath, 48:10)</span><span class="c4">إِ</span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">This is an oath that they are giving to Allah (swt), they can not change it and play with the Holy Qur’an! They have to follow the Holy Qur’an and the </span><span class="c2 c3">sunnat</span><span class="c2"> of Prophet (s), and the Sahaabah (r) and </span><span class="c2 c3">imaams</span><span class="c2"> who came after Prophet Muhammad (s). So be careful of explaining the Qur’an the way you like, as cautioned in Holy Qur’an:</span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c4"></span><p><p class="c11"><span class="c4">احْشُرُوا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَأَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ فَاهْدُوهُمْ إِلَى صِرَاطِ الْجَحِيمِ</span><p><p class="c7"><span class="c2 c3">Ah</span><span class="c2 c3">shuroo ’Lladheena zhalamoo wa azwaajahum wa maa kaanoo ya`budoon</span><span class="c2 c3">a</span><span class="c2 c3 c13"> </span><span class="c2 c3">min doonillaahi fahdoohum ilaa siraati ‘l-jaheem</span><span class="c2 c13 c3">.</span><p><p class="c7"><span class="c2 c3">Bring up, it shall be said, the wrong-doers and their wives and the things they worshipped besides Allah, and lead them to the path of the (fierce) Fire! </span><span class="c2"> (Surat as-Safaat, 32:22,23)</span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">Going back to the story, the shaykh said to the </span><span class="c2 c3">mureed</span><span class="c2">, “Sit near the </span><span class="c2 c3">masjid</span><span class="c2"> with your bag of walnuts and a pair of old shoes, then tell anyone passing by, ‘If you hit me once on the head, I will give you one walnut. And if you hit me twice, I will give you two walnuts.’ Do this all day, until walnuts are gone.” </span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">The </span><span class="c2 c3">mureed </span><span class="c2">said (in a derogatory way), “</span><span class="c2 c3">SubhaanAllah</span><span class="c2">,” meaning, “How dare you speak to me this way! I am a big `</span><span class="c2 c3">alim</span><span class="c2">!”</span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">His shaykh said, “Right now, you just became a </span><span class="c2 c3">kafir</span><span class="c2"> (you just </span><span class="c2">committed a grave sin)! Had you said ‘</span><span class="c2 c3">SubhaanAllah</span><span class="c2">’ with happiness, that would have been appropriate, but you said it with pride and arrogance, not accepting my order, which means you have no chance in my </span><span class="c2 c3">tariqah</span><span class="c2">. Therefore, go away.”</span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">It is said in an account of Shaykh `Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (q) that one of his </span><span class="c2 c3">khalifahs</span><span class="c2"> had a son who was a big `</span><span class="c2 c3">alim</span><span class="c2">.</span><span class="c2">Every time he would sit in an association of his father and hear him give a </span><span class="c2 c3">suhbah</span><span class="c2">. When that </span><span class="c2 c3">khalifah</span><span class="c2"> spoke everyone paid attention in pin-drop silence. The son thought, “I am a bigger </span><span class="c2 c3">`alim</span><span class="c2"> than my father. If he gives me a chance to speak, I could make everyone dance with the knowledge of what I will tell them.” That </span><span class="c2 c3">kalifah</span><span class="c2"> knew his son’s desire to speak because he is a</span><span class="c2 c3"> wali</span><span class="c2">.</span><span class="c2"> People have all kinds of desires. For example, if they are the son of a shaykh, they want to make everyone their slaves.</span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">So then one day the </span><span class="c2 c3">khalifah</span><span class="c2"> said to his son, “I am tired this week, so this time you go and make advice to everyone in Jumu`ah.” Out of joy, the son kissed his father’s hand. When Jumu`ah came, he went up on the </span><span class="c2 c3">minbar</span><span class="c2"> and began his very eloquent speech, “</span><span class="c2 c3">A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajim. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem</span><span class="c3">, </span><span class="c2 c3">alhamdulillahi Rabbi 'l-`Alameen, wa ’s-salaatu wa ’s-salaamu `alaa ashrafa 'l-mursaleen.</span><span class="c2">”</span><span class="c3"> </span><span class="c2">But as</span><span class="c2"> soon as he began the Jumu`ah </span><span class="c2 c3">khutbah</span><span class="c2">, everyone started to fall asleep. He was surprised, thinking, “</span><span class="c2">I have the best </span><span class="c2 c3">khutbah</span><span class="c2"> and they are sleeping?” He continued to hope they would wake up, but even after one hour everyone continued to sleep and some even took their shoes and left! He was so depressed that no one listened, thinking, “I spoke better than my father, so why didn’t they listen to me?” </span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">His father came and said, “</span><span class="c2 c3">Yaa</span><span class="c2"> </span><span class="c2 c3">waladee</span><span class="c2">, O my son! Arrogance and bad desires are not in our </span><span class="c2 c3">tariqah</span><span class="c2"> as w</span><span class="c2">e are straight-forward people. O my son! When I speak, I make sure that I do not see anyone, and I direct my speech towards myself. My advice is for my ego and my desires. I am self-evaluating my good and bad actions. When you humble yourself everyone listens to you, but when you see yourself as better than everyone, they all fall asleep.”</span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">When you go to a conference, you see ten-to-fifteen people giving 45-minute speeches. If you look into the crowd, you see most attendees are sleeping. This is because you are not advising yourself. You must see yourself lower than everyone and not deserving of anything. That advise is for you, not for them! You are falling into a well of dirtiness and you have an unpleasant smell; you ask yourself, “Why do I smell bad?” Of course you do; look where you are! But when you are in the ocean or river of knowledge, you smell nice. Be humble as then you will have a pleasant smell; if you are arrogant you will have an unpleasant smell and everyone will run away.</span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">Grandshaykh `AbdAllah (q) said, “There was a shaykh from the Naqshbandi Golden Chain. One time in the </span><span class="c2 c3">masjid</span><span class="c2"> he was giving his usual advice and that week he explained Surat al-Fatihah. He said to himslef, ‘I have read and explained it in a way that only </span><span class="c2 c3">awliyaullah</span><span class="c2"> can understand.’ Then he explained it a second time and said, ‘This time only the</span><span class="c2 c3"> imaams</span><span class="c2"> </span><span class="c2">can understand.’ Then he explained it a third time and said, “Only the shaykhs can understand this explanation.’ Then he read it a fourth time and said, ‘This explanation is for everyone (common people) to understand.’ Then he read it one more time and said, “No one will understand except for that one who is behind this pillar, as this is a special explanation just for him.’ Everyone ran to see who was behind the pillar but that man immediately ran away; it was Khidr (a).”</span><p><p class="c0 c1 c6"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2">So the different </span><span class="c2 c3">tafseer</span><span class="c2"> that </span><span class="c2 c3">awliyaullah</span><span class="c2"> make is not meant for everyone, it is only for a certain group of people at that time. Everyone has a different level of understanding and they will all take according to their own level. That is why the speech of </span><span class="c2 c3">awliyaullah</span><span class="c2"> reaches everyone and every person thinks it is meant for them, although it might be meant for other </span><span class="c2 c3">awliyaullah</span><span class="c2"> or </span><span class="c2 c3">jinn</span><span class="c2"> present. With the </span><span class="c2 c3">barakah</span><span class="c2"> of Prophet (s), Allah (swt) ordered Prophet (s) to bequeath to the </span><span class="c2 c3">awliyaullah</span><span class="c2"> (they inherit from him). T</span><span class="c2">hat is why Imam Busayri (q) said, </span><span class="c2 c3">wa kullun min rasoolillahi multamisun,</span><span class="c2"> “E</span><span class="c2">veryone is taking from Rasoolullah (s).” </span><p><p class="c0 c1"><span class="c2"></span><p><p class="c0"><span class="c2 c3">Alhamdulillah,</span><span class="c2"> we have been blessed with </span><span class="c2 c3">shuyookh</span><span class="c2"> who give us knowledge that benefits us in this life, and if we follow their ways, we have to also follow the Shari`ah they show us, not the Shari`ah that people cheat us with!
