(Translated from Turkish)
As-salaamu `alaykum. We woke up with goodness and may we reach the evening with goodness, inshaa-Allah. Ask goodness from Allah Almighty. We should know what we want, that our day may be good and our work also. We have reached a new day, so our life has decreased and we have come closer to the Akhirah by one more day.
As-salaamu `alaykum, O Believers! Salaam be on the great Prophet (s), as-salaatu wa ’s-salaam be upon him. He is our master, he is the Master of Creation, he is the Prophet who brought down the Divine Lights from the Malakoot. Mashaa-Allah. Allahumma salli `alaa Sayyidina Muhammad wa `ala aalihi wa sahbihi wa sallam. What can we do? We may say a few words so that relief comes on us today, strength comes, an opening comes, and joy comes to us. Okay then, for this let us open the door of our suhbah. With what do we open the door? “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem.” Yaa Rabbee, shukr. Yaa Rabbee, shukr. O Lord! Yaa Rabbee, shukr. O Lord! Shukr. Our Lord Who teaches us and informs us about the Bismillah, and Who dresses us with the Divine Light of that Bismillah. O our Lord!
ربي يسر ولا تعسر ,ربي تمم بالخير
Rabbee yassir wa laa tu’assir. Rabbee tammim bi ‘l-khayr.
O my Lord, make things easier for me, do not make things difficult for me.
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem. We should begin all our work with the Bismillah so that it will be easy, it will have barakah, and the doors of goodness will open. Without saying the Bismillah, the doors of goodness do not open, not at all! Not a single door opens, it does not open in dunya nor in Akhirah. The doors of Paradise open with the Bismillah and people enter and without the Bismillah one cannot enter Paradise! Mashaa-Allah. When a person says the Bismillah, his day goes well; it will be a happy day, a blessed day, goodness opens for him, Divine Light comes on his face, health comes to his body, barakah comes on his work and khayr and hasanat come on his children.
O our Allah! You granted us to remember Your Holy Name, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. What a great and magnificent holy verse this is:
إِنَّهُ مِن سُلَيْمَانَ وَإِنَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Innahu min Sulaymaan wa innahu Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem.
Verily it is from Sulaymaan and verily it begins with the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful. (Surat an-Naml, 27:30)
The Bismillah is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an. In the beginning of his letter, Prophet Sulayman (a)... the holy letter, the decree, the order he sent to the palace of Bilqis, the Queen of Sheba, what was written at its beginning? Innahu min Sulaymaan wa innahu Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. It is from Sulayman but, wa innahu Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. The great prophet (a) started with “Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem,” and all prophets (a) started with the Bismillah. Our Prophet (s) started with the Bismillah. The most valuable thing that opens all doors and completes all our good acts in dunya is “Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem.” The eight doors of Heavens open with Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem. For this, we should also say, “Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem.” He (swt) granted this to His servants in dunya, to the believers, so that all their doings succeed.
This is the greatest treasure, Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmaani ‘r-Raheem. What a great honor is this! The honor of whoever forgets this is at zero level and none of their doings succeed. Can a plane fly if you don't put gas in it? It will stop and not take off. What is it that Man is in need of? He is in need of spiritual power. If we don't have spiritual power, we will be like the plane waiting in the airport.
"Why is it not taking off?"
"Because it has no gas in it. How can it take off?"
So it has everything, but there is one thing missing. People are like this, too: we have everything, but there is one thing missing. This is because we don't say the Bismillah. When you say the Bismillah, they call it "the fuel" now, the creation, its gas becomes full so it takes off and flies. There is no one who says the Bismillah and cannot complete a good act. The Bismillah completes every good act! Don't forget the Bismillah.
نَسُواْ اللّهَ فَنَسِيَهُمْ
Nasoo ’Llaaha fa nasiyahum.
They have forgotten Allah, so He has forgotten them. (Surat at-Tawbah, 9:67)
The Holy Qur’an. Allah Almighty informs us about the situation of His servants. The holy verse: nasu-Llaaha, “They have forgotten Allah,” fa nasiyahum, “so Allah has forgotten them.” From where did all these troubles and calamities come to the people? They are asking, "How come so many disasters are happening like this?" Because they forgot Allah and so Allah left them. He swt) left them! Allah does not forget, but He left them in this forgotten state; otherwise, His support reaches instantly.
He (swt) is whipping constantly so that we remember our Lord, but there is no one who remembers Him. They run in the streets like wild animals, women and men, and their men shout and scream. What do you seek in the street? What is it that you are looking for? Don't you have mosques? Why do you go out and scream in the streets? All of you could go to your mosques and say, "O our Lord! Najjinaa mimaa nakhaaf. Save us from what we fear, our Lord!" You should have entered your mosques and said, "O our Lord! Save us from the oppressors." Go to the mosque and say this. Who are you calling to in the street? You shout and scream and they fire at you. Why do they fire? So that we come to our senses and go to the mosque.
Yaa Mufattiha ’l-abwaab, iftahlana khayra ‘l-baab. O our Lord! You are the One Who opens all the doors for us. Open the doors for us, O our Lord. We have no hope from these ones, neither from the Arabs or from their princes or kings is there any benefit to us, and neither from America nor from Russia does any benefit come to us. Call, "O our Lord! Najjinaa mimaa nakhaaf. Save us from what we fear. Save us, O Lord!"
Why don't you say this instead of running in the streets? Is it in Islam? Is it suitable for the Muslims? Shame on such Muslims who leave the mosques and scream in the streets. No, this is the wrong way. It is the wrong way.
The right way is to go and find the Presence of Allah in the mosques and call, "Yaa Rabbee! Yaa Rabbanaa! Najjinaa mimaa nakhaaf. Make us safe from what we fear, O our Lord!"
Why do you run in the streets? What kind of Muslims are you? Then they say, "You didn't help us." Not even the seven (most powerful) countries can help you! You should go to the mosques, you should stand in the Presence of Your Lord and you should beg, "Yaa Muhawwil al-hawli wa ’l-ahwaal, hawwil haalanaa ila ahsani ’l-haal. O Lord Who changes the states of Man from one to another! May You make us upon the best haal. O Lord! May You send Your beautiful servants. O Lord! Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. O Lord! Open Your doors of Mercy. Send from Your lions. Yaa Ghaaliban Ghayra Maghloob. We seek refuge in You, for You cannot be defeated, You are the Absolute Victorious! Send us support!"
Like this. Can He not send His support? When they got stuck in the Battle of Badr, the Glorious Prophet prayed, "Send us support!" One thousand angels came down. Then? Bi-khamsati aalaafin, “five-thousand of them," musawwimeen, “Having marks of distinction,” with turbans on their heads and its loose end hanging on the backs. He (swt) says, "I send support with such angels." But no, there is no need for it now, now these angels will come down, but they didn't come down at that time, He (swt) delayed it. "If My servants call in this time of corruption, I will send down five-thousand for the honor of My Beloved!”
يُمْدِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُم بِخَمْسَةِ آلافٍ مِّنَ الْمَلآئِكَةِ مُسَوِّمِينَ
Yumdidkum rabbukum bi-khamsati aalaafin mina 'l-malaaikati musawwimeen.
Yea, if you remain firm and act aright, even if the enemy should rush here on you in hot haste, your Lord would help you with five-thousand angels wearing turbans with tails.
(Surat Aali-`Imraan, 3:125)
Only one angel can make everything upside down, but He (swt) said, "I will send five-thousand," in His Magnificence. Now these five-thousand will come with Mahdi (a). Allah Almighty will show how He protects Islam, how He protects the Haqq, the True Religion. Allah Dhu ‘l-Jalaal will show these heedless Muslims, some of whom say “America” and some who say “Russia (will save us)!” Shame on them! Shame on their kings, princes and presidents, also. Shame on them that they forgot Allah! They support America, they support Russia, and China (...) They are the ghuruh-u makrooh, they are the disliked group. They say, “China is like this, Russia is like this, America is like this (better than us).” What is our business with them? Do you not have your Allah, that you say, "Yaa Rabbee," and raise your hands! Shame on you. There are forty walis of Allah in Sham. If they called them once, they would make Sham upside down and would not let the tyrants approach, but because of our heedlessness and because we forgot the Bismillah, (...) the one who forgets the Bismillah has forgotten Allah!
Yaa Allah! You are the Sultan! Send us a sultan. May these rubbish people go away. They corrupted everything. They are not listening to the Holy Qur’an, they are not reading it, they are running and screaming in the streets. Shame on them! Say, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem.” Saifullah al-Maslool (the drawn sword of Allah) draws the sword if they say, "O our Lord!" He draws the sword and five-thousand angels come down. There is no fear from their cannons, rifles, missiles, or museums. O Muslims! Come to Islam! If not, it will grind you and throw you away!
وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِّلّهِ
Walladheena aamanoo ashaddu hubban lillaah.
But those of faith are overflowing in their love for Allah. (Surat al-Baqarah, 2:165)
Allah Almighty will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him! Why don't you be from them, O Muslims, O people of Egypt, the people of Hijaz, the people of Sham and Turkistan, the people of Turkey, the Iranians! Why don't you know Allah and call to Allah? Why do you kill each other, for which reason? For a person to sit on a seat. He may not sit! It is not your power that will take him out of his position. If Allah likes He can take him out instantly, but because you deserve it He inflicted him upon you. Repent!
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا تُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَوْبَةً نَّصُوحًا عَسَى رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُكَفِّرَ عَنكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَيُدْخِلَكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ يَوْمَ لَا يُخْزِي اللَّهُ النَّبِيَّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ نُورُهُمْ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَبِأَيْمَانِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَتْمِمْ لَنَا نُورَنَا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Yaa ayyuhaa alladheena aamanoo tooboo ilaa Allaahi tawbatan nasoohan `asaa rabbukum an yukaffira `ankum sayyiaatikum wa yudkhilakum jannaatin tajree min tahtiha ’l-anhaaru yawma laa yukhzillaahu ‘n-nabiyya w’alladheena aamanoo ma`ahu nooruhum yas`aa bayna aydeehim wa bi-aymaanihim yaqooloona rabbanaa atmim lanaa nooranaa w ’aghfir lanaa innaka `alaa kulli shayin qadeer.
O you who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance in the hope that your Lord will remove from you your ills and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow (on) the Day that Allah will not permit to be humiliated the Prophet and those who believe with him! Their Light will run forward before them and by their right hands, while they say, "Our Lord! Perfect our Light for us, and grant us forgiveness, for You have power over all things." (Surat al-Qalam, 66:8)
Tubna wa raja`na `alayk, yaa Rabbee. Forgive us, O Lord!
الَّذِينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحْسَنَهُ أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ هَدَاهُمُ اللَّهُ وَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ أُوْلُوا الْأَلْبَابِ
Alladheena yastami`oona al-qawla fayattabi`oona ahsanahu oolaa’ika ’Lladheena hadaahumullahu wa oolaa’ika hum uloo ’l-albaab.
Those who listen (closely) to all that is said and follow the best of it, it is they whom God has graced with His guidance, and it is they who are (truly) endowed with insight!
(Surat az-Zumar, 39:18)
Allah protects those who listen to His Words and to His advice and who listens to the advice of His Prophet (s), He (swt) is with them, but you who leave Him are with Shaytan! You made (political) parties. Shame on you, O you who claim to be Muslims! It asks for a sultan. The first obligation on the Muslims after the Prophet (s) is, "You must have a khalifah," one person who rules the whole Islamic world, not a thousand people. You sit there and say, "I rule," but when you abandon justice you will suffer in dunya and in Akhirah!
O Lord! We are helpless servants. We are saying, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem.” O our Lord! May You accept our Bismillah. These people should say the Bismillah at least forty times (daily) and they will be saved. Some of them are after lamp oil, petrol, some of them are after (natural) gas, and some of them are after gold. Leave this. Look to the order of Allah. Allah says, wa 'ahsinu, “Do good.”
إِنَّ اللّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
Inn Allaha yuhibbu al-muhsinina
Truly Allah loves the doers of good. (Surat al-Baqara, 2:195)
Allah loves the good doers. What are you waiting for, why do you save and store up? Don't store, give! Give for your life. Say, "Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem," and treasures will open. O Lord! May You forgive us. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee. In this holy month of Mawlid, open! Give your treasures, give for Allah. On Yawm al-Mahshar, the Day of Resurrection, they will say, "Bravo for you!” Otherwise the zabaaniyah will seize you by the collar and will throw you into the Hellfire. May Allah forgive us. Fatihah.
We should say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem,” and blow it onto ourselves. Say, "Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. Bismillahi ’Lladhee laa yadurru ma`a ismihi shay'un fi ‘l-ardi wa laa fi ‘s-sama'i wa Huwa ‘s-Sami`u ‘l-`Aleem." Muslims should put on their heads the crown of Islam (turban). Nothing will come on their heads. Ladies should not go out with their heads uncovered, dressing up and putting on makeup. They should cover their heads. Nothing will come on them from the Heavens. We don't pay attention and we don't accept advice either; there is no one to accept advice. They are shouting and screaming in the streets and doing crazy things. They will kill each other. Is it the order of Allah for us to kill each other? Shame on them.
O our Lord! May You send us the master for the honor of Your beloved. Send a sultan, O our Lord! Send the Mahdi (a) whom Your beloved gave the glad tidings of his coming. We have no strength left, O Lord! Tawbah, yaa Rabbee. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee. Tawbah, astaghfirullah. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee. Tawbah, astaghfirullah. Shukr, yaa Rabbee. Shukr, yaa Rabbee. Shukr, alhamdulillah. May You lift this burden off us. For the honor of Your beloved, send us support, O Lord. We wait for these five-thousand angels; they will come with Mahdi (a). Send them, O Lord!
Tubna wa raja'na ilayk, yaa Rabbana. Let us say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem,” so that all doors of goodness open and all doors of calamity close. Say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem!”
O Muslims! Don't go out with your heads uncovered. Go out in Islamic dress and nothing will come on you. O Ladies! You go out with your heads uncovered, dressing up and putting on makeup! You will suffer in dunya as well as inside your graves and neither your king nor your mulook can save you. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee. Tawbah, astaghfirullah. I repent for your own situation also. I repent. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee. Tawbah, yaa Rabbee. Instead of being busy with Your servanthood we are trying to burn and destroy each other. Shame on people. This is not the honor of humanity, the honor of humanity is to make service to their Lord, it is not with fighting.
O Muslims! Pull yourselves together before something comes on you. Tawbah, astaghfirullah. Let us say, “Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. Laa ilaaha illa-Llah Sayyidina Muhammadun Rasoolullah.” We ask your intercession, O Rasoolullah (s)! Fatihah.
O Lord! I only want to see Sham open and Sayyidina Mahdi (a) come, this is it, I don't want anything else. I have no business with dunya anymore!
As-salaamu `alaykum. Salaam upon those who listen. Whoever doesn't listen will suffer what will come on his head. Allah, Allah. Fatihah.
