Unity Oceans of Profit

Suhbat: Unity Oceans of Profit
Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil al-Haqqani

O people, ask from Allah Almighty to give to you from halal provision. That is important, because (switching to Arabic… murid sneezes).

You must Allah Almighty to grant to you halal rizq, pure provision that is giving to you power for worshipping. Dirty things, closing our hearts, and making our organs to be lazy and to be unable to do something that their Lord is ordering them to do. Therefore you must try to make our rizq, provision, to be clean one, so that we may stand up for praying. Because if your eating is not clean, you can’t stand up for Allah’s order. If a person is not eating clean food, his power is going to be for Shaytanic actions. And power coming to you. You may eat everything. People now, they are not asking if it is halal or haram. They are eating. But mu`min, believer, must look at what they are eating. If it is clean, pure, that gives to you nur. Nur, heavenly lights, that makes you to move, to stand up for your servanthood in Divine Presence. If not, it is forbidden for that person to enter into Divine Presence and to do something that making him to be more closer to Divine Presence.

Therefore, `awliya they are saying most important thing for murids is to try to eat clean food. Halal food. If not, they can’t move, they can’t stand up, for their servanthood. They should be so lazy, for praying, but they should be so quick to run after forbidden things—if they are not eating halal, their ego is taking much more power to run and to do such a things that they are forbidden, not halal. Therefore, `awliya they are saying praying depends on halal food. Maybe a worshipping ten parts, it may be it needs one only should be for our other things that giving a power for man to stand up for his Lord’s servanthood. Nine from ten, it is from halal food, clean food. And must be very careful what you are eating. Now, people… we have a saying, “halal, haram wa Allahum kuru namaz wa Allah haq ...“ There is a phrase in Turkish that old people were saying and complaining from ignorant people, that they are never asking when they are eating something, if it is halal or haram. Anything coming in front of them, they are eating and drinking. And they are saying, “O our Lord, now we are servants, they are going to be so ignorant that they never asking if what they are eating and drinking, if it is clean, pure, clean. No. Everything that they are thinking it is halal, they may eat.” And if one piece of food or drink that is not halal makes your (demand?) for praying, making it to fall down. One part, one tenth—making people to fall down. They can’t be able to arise towards heavens. They are making their spirituality so difficult position because spirituality now imprisoned through our physical beings, and when our physical being getting coming down, our spirituality also is coming down. Therefore we are in need—what are we eating, what are we drinking, to be clean, halal. Halal.

Therefore, there is munajaat, praying, Allahumarzuqna tayyiban w 'asta`malna saalihan—O our Lord, please grant us from Your clean clean provisions, and we are asking also from You that we are eating and taking power to use it for Your obedience, to be what we are eating—and from that eating coming a power to our organs to make our organs to arise towards heavens—that is a good praying to ask from Allah Almighty clean food, halal food, so that if a person eating halal, never going to make haram. No, close down the doors of haram on that person who they are eating halal. Can’t use a person the power that is coming to them from halal food—can’t use it for Shaytanic aspects. No. Therefore, we must try to feed our physical beings with halal food that makes ourselves happy, light, and gives us a power, energy, himma, himmatul ‘aliya, aspirations—that makes ourselves to arise towards heavens.

May Allah forgive us.
