Sohbat ba'da Zuhr of Mawlana Sultanul-Awliya' Shaykh
Sayyid Muhammad Nazim 'Adil Al-Haqqani

Note: This is not an exact transcription. This is based on personal notes.

Assalamu 'alaykum!
Assalaam qabla al-Kalaam! [means: Greetings before speech, red.]

If you are asking [something], you must begin, ask to him to say, "Assalamu 'alaykum!" Therefore, they are trying to follow the footsteps of Prophets, may Allah grant us that ability that we can follow these footsteps of Prophets, Saints, and Good people.

And we are saying, "A'uudzu billahi minash shaythanir rajiim". We are asking a shelter from Allah Almighty, our Creator to protect ourselves from shaytan and its
followers, we are saying, "A'uudhu billahi minash shaythanir rajiim".

It is a Holy Order from Heavens that anyone living in this world must live for Allah. You must not live for yourself. Who are you anyway? It is your Lord that firstly granting you to be in existence, and secondly, He is granting you those things that you may be in need of. Yes! We are needy creatures.

Who is that One who never needs anyone? Only Allah Almighty. He is never in need of anyone. How could He be needy to His creatures, while He is creating you [and them] ? How could He need you to help Him?

The Lord of Heavens can not ask! He is Unneedy One!

This is a very simple TA'RIF (description) to make you understanding something.

If He is going to be someone who is in need of someone, then He is not going to be Lord of Creations.

He is giving and granting to you, a FORM, to appear through this world. He is granting to everyone their forms or their identities. You have an identity, and
you can know about yourself. You say, "I am a man, I am not a donkey."

Identity is just granted for everything from their Creator; and for the existence of the universe, they are in need of His favors, If His Almighty favors reaching to you, then you will be in existence. If they are not reaching to you, you are not in existence.

So, first of all, you must know about yourselves.

And you may ask, "Who is bringing to ourselves existence in this world that we are able to see, we are able to move, we are able to understand?"

All of them [i.e. to move, to see, to understand, etc.], each is a grant from Allah Almighty to you. If we are asking to you, "How are we seeing, Dr. Salim?" (If) Dr. Salim saying, "I am looking and seeing through my ears." [Someone else would say] No! Someone may say to you, "You're looking with your eyes. You may be hearing with your ears, but, you may not see with your ears."

Then, I may ask, "Who [among you] are looking with your eyes?" What is your answer, Dr. Salim?

Dr. Salim: "Yes, I am seeing with my eyes and my heart also."

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim: "Heart is another organ. Are you seeing with your eyes or ears?"

Dr. Salim: "Through my eyes."

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim: "No!"

A dead body also has eyes. If you're saying that you're seeing with your eyes, what about that dead body that his eyes are still OK, can he still be seeing?

Only your Creator, sending His Divinely Light to your eyes, touching, then you may see...!

Another example. Are we seeing through our eyes? And I may say to you, what about dead person, how he may see? Leave it. You are a healthy person. You are OK, and you say that you are seeing through eyes. What about at night time then?

Why are we not seeing in night time? You are OK, alive person; why in night time you are not seeing?

People are ignorant now. Materialistic people, at night time, saying, "Quickly, put the light on, I cannot see."

And people, all of them coming to be materialist, to be on wrong way.

Your material being can't see, can't look, can't hear, can't listen, can't understand.

I am shouting to them, "Why are we not seeing at night time?"
They say, "We need some lights."
Do you think that light is enough to see? Because during day time, body is OK, there is Light.

You must say, "We have been created by Lord, our Creator. He is the Only One that makes us able to see, to look, to hear, to understand, to ask, to move, and to do."

You must not say that you are only a material mask. Statues in museum and our body (are) the same, materials, but they cannot see. Why? Why are you putting yourself the same as those statues in museum? Materialist people are saying that there is no soul,
no spiritual, no spirituality. Why are we making ourselves the same as statues?

They are the most ignorant ones! Only looking away as sheep looking. [Mawlana mimicking the movement of sheep/cow looking around], like cow looking, no understanding. They are making themselves like animals. They are loosing to use the keys for understanding.

You are saying, "I am understanding. ..". I say, "Who are you?"

A donkey knows its identity, but materialist people not knowing their identity card, because they are not using the most valuable sense to think, to understand, and to learn. And they are saying, "Yes, we are reaching top of civilization. "

Materialist people, they are denying to give some power beyond material.

[Mawlana throws a pillow.]
If I am not throwing this, can this material move?

Those people are under the levels of donkeys. Donkeys know their identities. Materialist people don't know their identities. People are drunk, to deny the Holy
Books, to deny (what is) beyond materials.

They are saying, "Big Bang". It is a theory of the beginning of creation. It was an atom. As they say, it's not the same size like the atom as they say it now. It may be such a big atom. It's sleeping and sleeping. And they are saying that suddenly it
explodes.

[Mawlana throws another the pillow.]

If this cannot move by itself, how could that atom explode by itself and happening this and that [the forming of galaxies, solar systems, stars, etc.], then finish??

Space.... What is space? I am saying about that one atom in a space. Only one? No second one?

Who put it there? In "Space"? And what is the definition of Space? The power that makes it explode, from inside, or outside? What do you think? No answers.
Because their level is under the level of donkeys, no understanding, no thinking.

And whole world people follow their ideas; one after one. Like in black holes, people falling one after one into that darkness....

How (then) can we expect for peace? Because living people (now, have) no understanding. They must be taken away!

May Allah forgive us for the honor of the most honored one in the Divine Presence, Sayyidina Muhammad sallAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and other Prophets, may Allah bless them, and Saints, to open for us understanding. For the honor of Heavens and ountless
servants for this honor.

FATIHAH!
