Jealousy Is the Biggest Curse Coming on Mankind

Sultan al-Awliya

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani

25 July 2010 Lefke, Cyprus

Dastoor yaa Sayyidee, madad. (Mawlana Shaykh stands)

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, `Azeez Allah.

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Subhaan Allah.

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, SultAan Allah.

Zidh mubarak, yaa Rabbana, Habeebika `izzan wa sharafa, nooran wa surooran wa laka 'l-hamd bi maa hadaytana wa satartana wa akramtana. Subhaan sen. Sultaan sen. Thumma as-salaamu `alaykum yaa ahlu 'l-malakoot. Thumma as-salaamu `alaykum yaa `ibaadAllahi 's-saaliheen. Thumma as-salaamu `alayna wa `alaa `ibaadAllahi 's-saaliheen. (Mawlana Shaykh sits) Tawbah, yaa Rabbee. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee, tawbah astaghfirullah. Allah Allah, Allah Allah.

O our Attenders! Say, a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. Run away from Shaytan, and say, (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. This is a heavenly sword, take it with you to defend yourself, defending your honor, here and Hereafter. (Mawlana Shaykh sits)

O our Attenders! As-salaamu `alaykum. Where are you running? Come to truth, come to the Seal of Prophets' (s) way. Don’t run away. Who is running away from the Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad (s), (Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits) is running and falling in hells. Hells are terrible, terrible, terrible. Hells, Jahannam is terrible. O People! Don’t think that it is a joke, or the Lord of Creation is joking, no. It is real reality. O People! Run away from hells, and run away to where? Run to Paradise! Why are you running away from Paradise and running to hells? What is that foolishness from Mankind? What do you think? It is enough that we are drunk. Wake up, O Mankind! Time is over and dunya is going to reach its end.

O our Grandshaykh, O our Qutb ul-Mutasarrif, O Sahib az-Zaman, amidoouna bi madadikum, please reach to the weak servants of Allah Almighty. This is a short association. And no one is saying that, “Why are they eating daily,” everyday we are eating and we are not saying, “Enough, we are not eating.” This is the mentality you have. But for your real being, your spirituality that it is a grant from the Lord of Heavens to His most beloved one, Sayyidi 'l-Awwaleen wa ’l-Akhireen, that heavenly feast is coming through the Seal of Prophets (s) and through his real followers. Why are you saying, “Enough, everyday we are going to listen.” Don’t say this. Don’t make jokes. Then, who is joking is going to regret. Therefore, the Seal of Prophets (s) was saying, “O my Lord, don’t leave my ummah in the hands of their egos.”

I am ashamed to say that for him that he also said, ta`leeman, as a teacher the Seal of Prophets (s) was saying:

اللهم لا تكلني الي نفسي طرفة عين

Allahumma laa takilnee ila nafsee tarfata `ayn

O my Lord, do not leave me in the hands of my ego.

That was a teaching for his nation. He is pure and no one knows or understands the pureness of the Seal of Prophets (s). But he is making himself on the level of his weak nation, and as a teaching saying, Allahumma laa takilnee ila nafsee tarfata `ayn. Haashaa! It is impossible for the Seal of

Prophets (s), the mutlaq, absolute deputy of the Lord of Heavens to be under his ego. Astaghfirullah. Astaghfirullah.

It is only a training, and educating for his nation. O People! Beware not to fall in your egoistic trap and the nafs, that ego just represents Shaytan fully. Shaytan and the ego are the same. There is no difference between Shaytan and the ego. The ego is just trained by Shaytan. (Mawlana Shaykh speaks in a funny voice,) "Graduated from Shaytan’s academy!" (Mawlana Shaykh laughs)

Academy! Salafi `ulamas! Don’t approach Shaytan’s academy, making like this, like that to make yourself some important one. Beware of all shaytanic teachings, beware. Don’t try to imitate Shaytan’s teachings. Shaytan is making you like this (proud and angry) and you must show yourself as such an important one. Important one? How are you an important one? One question to Salafi `ulamas, if they are saying, "We are chosen ones, and we have rights to show ourselves in a different level from common people, therefore we have rights to show that we are something and because we are Salafi `ulamas." And doctors of Shari`ah are the same, "We are VIP ones because we are doctors."

Do you think that Shari`ah is ill, and you are coming to cure Shari`atullah? What is that? But they are giving to themselves something, "We are not on the level of common people. We have graduated from the academy of Shaytan. Why are you saying this?"

I am saying this because they are making me to speak to you, because what you are taking as a certificate, you are thinking that you are going for another one, a different one, or a specialist one, or a chosen one among common people.

"We graduated from Shaytan’s academy."

Who is asking to show himself different from common people is graduated from Shaytan’s academy! What do you think important one? Important one! (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Allah (swt) is saying what? Say!

كَانَا يَأْكُلاَنِ الطَّعَامَ

Wa kaana yaakulaan at-ta`am.

They had both to eat their (daily) food. (al-Maa'idah, 5:75)

(Mawlana Shaykh sits) That is a heavy bombarding for the Christian world, and heavy bombarding for our special and chosen ones that are making that specialty for themselves to be seen on another level. "These are common people and we are not common people." This is an illness, or there must be another word, that is covering people who are asking to give a special status.

O People! All people are running to reach a title, to make themselves as exceptional. Laa hawla wa laa quwatta illa billah. Hisham Effendi, if you are here, better; yes, exceptional. Everyone is asking to be an exceptional one among people. No one ever likes even one to be on the same position that he is claiming. If looking even if his wife is also saying “I am on the same level, exception."

He says, “No, no, no, you can’t be!”

She says, "How can't I be? I am the first lady, you are not the first gentleman!"

Everyone is running to be an exception, to be one. And Oneness is for Allah Almighty! How are you running to be on one, and you are not accepting anyone to be on your level? That is a shaytanic teaching. Allah, O our Lord! Therefore, Islam is bringing a heavenly scale, as every time doctors coming for a patient, bringing and first of all putting this instrument (on the arm) and looking, saying, "Too high. After a while you may explode!" People are getting their blood pressure taken, asking to reach the highest level, but they are not thinking that if it is going to explode, and finishing. (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Allah Almighty is saying,

وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِندَهُ بِمِقْدَارٍ

Wa kullu shayin `indahu bi miqdaar.

Every single thing is before His sight, in (due) proportion. (13:8)

(Mawlana Shaykh sits) Where are you Salafi `ulamas? I am looking at your blood pressure and it is coming too high! You are never accepting to be on the same station or level as common people. Are you not knowing what the Seal of Prophets (s), wa sharafa wa karama majada wa `adhaam wa jalaala wal jamaal, was teaching? You must use such wisdom and advice, and keep it; some advice you must use on some occasions, but other advice you must always use. Kings, sultans, maliks, shaykhs, presidents, first ladies who never accept to be second ladies, and all religious people in every religion, before Islam and in Islam, you must use that measure that is bringing you to the level of obediency. If you are not coming on that level, it means Shaytan is playing with you.

O Salafi `ulamas? What was the Seal of Prophets (s) saying? (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem.

اجلس كما يجلس العبد وآكل كما ياكل العبيد

Ajlisu kamaa yajlisu'l-`abd wa aakul kamaa yaakul al-`abd.

I sit like the servant sits, and I eat like the servant eats.

(Mawlana Shaykh sits) O People! This is enough from the beginning up to the end, to destroy your falsehood, where everyone is running to be a special one among others. No! One sentence is enough to make all nations on their true levels. That one sentence from the Seal of Prophets (s) is enough to bring peace, pleasure, good understanding, respect, and love between people. The biggest bala`, curse, that is making people in unrest is jealousy. What are people running for? Because Shaytan is putting jealousy between them. There is no jealousy in Islam! There is no jealousy in Christianity! There is no jealousy in Judaism! In any heavenly commands there is no jealousy! Jealousy is just thrown away from Mankind because the biggest cursing is coming on people through jealousy. If we are leaving this, dunya is going to be like Paradise! But Shaytan's academy is just filled in the east and west, north and south, all kinds of nations and jealousy is destroying humanity.

Therefore, jealous people can't enter Paradise. No jealousy can enter in Paradise, no. And secondly, after jealousy, Shaytan is teaching people to be angry quickly and that is the fruit of the jealousy tree. The fruit of the jealousy tree is anger. Also, the second fruit of that jealousy tree is to claim, "I am number one," or, "I am the first lady," to be proud. Proud people can't enter Paradise. Who is claiming that, "I am a VIP one," if you are VIP, go to WC, not here. Because everyone who is claiming that he is something, proud, you can't enter. Your place is the WC, go there.

Is it not enough, Salafi `ulamas? So many books you are writing, writing, writing and then speaking. Why? Say this hadeeth ash-shareef and it will make all nations come on their own stations and levels, the level of servanthood! The level of servanthood is that you are not proud, angry, jealous and stubborn. Leave that and come! Don't say, "My level is over your level," no.

O People! There can be no other level above the level of servanthood. Allah Almighty is asking all nations and all religions to come on the level of servanthood. The level of servanthood is never accepting jealousy, to be proud, to be stubborn, or to be angry, no. Teach people and then don't make a private position for yourself that, "We are Salaaf as-Saalih," no. Don't give any chance to Shaytan to take you from the level of servanthood! And one sentence, hadeeth ash-shareef that the Seal of Prophets (s) was saying is accepted by all prophets. They are saying, "Yes, we are also sitting as you are sitting and eating as you are eating, O most majestic one, O our lord, the Seal of Prophets!" Mashaa-Allah.

There is no need to put so many things in books. If you can practice only this, it is enough! Every trouble will leave this world, every badness, suffering will leave people and Shaytan will also take its tent and say, "No more bazaar, my market is finished. No customers are coming and asking what I am selling to them. I am bringing this market to people such precious things, but no one is interested. I may take my goods and go, because no one is interested in what I am bringing. I am bringing jealousy, pride, anger, and stubbornness, but no one is interested! For what should I stay in this market?" And he taking all this and going away.

O people from Muslim `ulamas, and Christian authorities of Christianity, and Jewish authorities, don't bring something that is just packaged, every time putting in it, and writing on it, that is proud, no changing and saying take it. No market for Shaytan. If you are leaving Shaytan to come to the bazaar, it is making everything confused.

You must use another eyeglass to look really at a real thing or different one, you must look very carefully, "Oh, it is the same production, made in shaytanic territory." Be careful, use this, and you will be happy here and Hereafter. If not, you know you are never entering Paradise. If VIP people are reaching to entrance of Paradise, angels are saying, "No, no, no, VIP center is not here, VIP is where it is written WC, you go there." May Allah forgive us.

Is it true, Salafi `ulamas? Every Jumu`ah repeat it, everyday, until people are saying, "We are fed up to hear this."

"If you are coming with Shaytan, we can't accept you. Leave Shaytan and come. Who is claiming that they are VIP people are coming with Shaytan and we have never been ordered to open for you and your Shaytan to enter the door of Paradise, no. If we are leaving Shaytan to come in with you, after a short while that Shaytan is making you to be thrown away from Paradise! May Allah forgive us.

O People! Don't run after dunya, and don't run after immitated titles! Our title must only be servanthood for the Lord of Heavens, Allah (swt), (Mawlanaa Shaykh stands) Jalla Jalaaluhu, Jalla Jalaaluh, Jalla `azاamatuhu wa laa `ilaha ghayruhu. Allahumma 'ghfir lanaa w 'arhamnaa wa tub `alayna w 'ahdina wasqinaa wa aghithnaa, yaa Rabb. (Mawlana Shaykh sits)

Fatihah.

(45 minutes) Our attenders are getting more clever, mashaa-Allah. A heavenly whip is coming. May Allah forgive me and forgive everyone who is claiming they are something.

Fatihah.

Tonight is the holy night of Laylat ul-Bara`ah. Be awakened and you will not lose. It is a very, very important night in the Islamic calendar. Take care that something does not reach to you that makes you unhappy in this year. Therefore, they are making me to say something for obediency and servanthood. Keep it and nothing will touch you here or Hereafter and no harm will come to you. Allah, yaa Rabbee, tawbah.

Fatihah.
