Message from Maulana to you!

Audhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim, Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim... Nawaytu-l arbain, nawaytu-l ...siyam li-llahi taala fi hadha-l masjid... Atiu Allahu wa atiu Rasul wa ulu-l amri minkum...Meded, ya Sayyidi, ya Sultanu-l Awliya, Sayyidi Sheikh Muhammad Nazim Adil al Haqqani.
First of all I would like to say that Maulana has asked and ordered me to say to you that he loves you, he is missing you and you are in his heart. And insha Allah as soon as the weathers change, he will be as usual, always with you, always with anyone coming and visiting and always with anyone that he needs an advice.
Sometimes Awliyaullah are difficult to understand and wherever you are, wherever we think that we are, alot of, many years with them, but still it is very difficult to understand a drop of the meaning of a Wali.
Prophet sws and as everyone knows that he used to speak with his Sahaba and give them Ahadith, sayings, teaching them, delivering the message of Allah Subhana Hu wa taala - through the Holy Quran and through the Sunnah of Prophet sws. And as many of you know that not one single Sahabi, means one single Companion, knew everything. What I means to say with everything means, was present at every moment with Prophet sws, when he was giving advices or teaching. And thats why we see the compilation of Ahadithu Nabi (as it is); it was being compiled: This Sahabi said this, this Companion said that... this Companion heard this, that Companion heard that from Prophet sws... Some of them they heard ten Hadith, some of them heard 2o, some of them 1oo, 1ooo, but in reality that not all of them heard everything at the same time.
Thats why Sahaba, sometimes some of them they say: Oh, we didnt hear that. They used to have these arguments; I am not going to explain it in detail, but they used to have these arguments between themselves, that (one of them said): I didnt hear that or the other one said: No, I heard it, and the other one said: No, I didnt hear it. And different Ahadith. It changes from one to one, not all of them heard it. - If you heard something, I didnt hear it, I might tell you: Oh, I didnt hear that. You might tell me: No, I didnt hear that.
So there will be a situation that after the time of Prophet sws,(there were the) Sahaba, the Companions, and after the Companions there was the compiling of the Ahadtih, to bring them together and to compile them. And S.Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, if you want to give an example, small example: He mentioned 24 or 25 Ahadith. Thats it; he didnt mention more than that, although he was the (one) very close to Prophet, when Allah mentioned in Holy Quran sws about S.Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, where He said: ...In qakulu sahibi la tahsani, innallaha mana... The Prophet is saying to S.Abu Bakr: Dont be sad, Allah is with us. And what he said? 24 or 25 Ahadith he related! Where are the other Ahadith?
So what I want to say and come to conclusion is that Awliyaullah, (it) is very difficult to understand them. You might hear something, I might hear something; it depends what time (and) at that time, at that moment, where he was, in which level of ascension with Prophet sws he was and he said that advice.
If you look at the Ahadith of Prophet sws, you see (that) one Hadith says something, the other Hadith comes in more detail that it was not mentioned in the first time. Why? Because first time Prophet sws for example was speaking from this level, lets say level X., (the) next time, when he was ascending more and more, he was speaking from level Z. So from this level to this level the Hadith will increase or might change. It depends on the time and the situation.
And this is where it is very important to understand Awliyaullah sws, because they are inheritors of Prophet sws. How to understand them, when they say something and then, in another time, they say the same thing, but in more detail or they might change it? And then you become: Oh, what he meant? You say, what he meant, the other one heard it differently, he says: Oh no, its what he meant this way. Thats why not everyone can understand a Wali! We cannot understand from Awliyaullah even a drop of their knowledge.
I was coming and he said to me: Send my love and support; tell them about I love them and I support them. So what that means? It is an ocean, when he is saying: I love them and I support them.
Allah said in Holy Quran: Fau ila-l kahfi, yanshur lakum Rabbukum min rahmatihi wa yuhay lakum min amrikum mirfaqa...(?) to the People of the Cave. They were debating: Where we have to run? and the advice came: Run to that cave! Run to that cave! Allah Subhana Hu wa taala, in that cave Allah sws is going to manifest His Mercy on you. Regardless of what you are doing, Allah will send His Mercy on you and He will adjust and show you his guidance, the way. So when Maulana said: Say to them I love them, I support them, means, we are in his cave! He is that cave that we run to.
For us that cave is like today you want to look at Google maps for skies or you want to go at Google to see any building on earth - what you do? You check; you give the address and then shows you an air (?) area, but its so huge, you want to zoom in, in order to see more closer, to where you want, what you want to see. Awliyaullah, when you zoom in, when they speak and you enter their cave, if you are entering with complete belief, you can zoom in, because they will zoom you in to the presence of Prophet sws. As much as they show you that zooming in, as much as you are reaching and approaching the presence of Prophet sws.
Is not so easy to zoom in, its very difficult. (A) Wali has to carry the responsibility of his student, in order to zoom him in in the presence of Prophet sws. And Prophet sws has to carry the responsibility and the difficulty of the Ummah, in order to zoom them in in the divine Presence.
When he said: Send my love to them, means: If someone loves someone, means he will take care of him or her. If you love your child, you take care of your child. You cannot say: Oh I love my child, (and when) he is sick (you say:) I dont care. No, you keep up all night to take care of your child. We are children in the eyes of Awliya. Even we have big long beard, we have black beard, we have white beard, we have read beard... still we are children in the eyes of Awliyaullah; they have to carry our problems and our difficulties.
One time - may Allah bless his soul - Grandsheikh said, that the Wali is in need for his students. If there are no students, there is no Wali. He is saying that to show how much the Wali carries responsibility. He said: Why a Wali to be a Wali, if he doesnt have students, disciples? The disciples make the Wali to... Allah to open on his heart, whatever they need to hear and whatever they need, in order to improve and move on, forward. Thats why is very important that a Wali, when he speaks, he is reaching the hearts of his students. And we have to be very attentive, because he is carrying us, because he is opening. If we dont open our heart to receive from him, we are in problems. He is not in problems, we will be in problems.
One day S.Abdul Qadir al-Gilani - may Allah bless his soul - has a khalifa and that khalifa was old person and he was not really Alim; he was, how we say?- self-learned. And he was learning from S.Abdul Qadir al-Gilani humbleness . Because in Tariqat the most important issue is humbleness. If we dont have humbleness, we must look for it and try to learn it and try to practice it. Humbleness is necessary. Humbleness means: you dont give an excuse to your ego for pride, you dont let (your) ego to get proud of itself. Prophet sws was the most humble. What Allah said about him in Holy Quran? Because Prophet was looking at these Oceans of Knowledge that Allah opened to him in his night of Isra wa-l Miraj, He said: Qul: Innama ana basharun mithlukum. Say: I am only a human being like you. Prophet says about himself: I am only a human being like the rest. He is different!
Like Imam Busairi (said). What he said? Bal huwa yakutatun wa naasu ka-l hajari! He is a gem, a diamond, and human beings are like pebbles, rocks! He is completely different, but he was humbling himself. He went into Isra wa-l Miraj, he made himself more humble. So our duty is to show humbleness to each other. Its not only to show humbleness to the Sheikh, its easy to show humbleness to the Sheikh, but its difficult to show humbleness to each other.
So that Khalifa of S.Abdul Qadir al-Gilani, whenever S.Abdul Qadir al Gilani sent him to speak in different villages or in different associations, he sat and spoke (and) everyone, as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, people were listening, they were very... their eyes were open. Not like me and some other people when Maulana speaks - we sleep! People divert their minds different ways... But everyone was listening, even you throw a pin, you can hear it.
That Sheikh had a son, but his son was very educated in Islamic Shariat. Explanation of Holy Quran, explanation of Holy Hadith, memorising the Holy Quran, memorising the Hadith, knows every details in Sharita. He was looking to himself. Every time his Sheikh, his father, sat and spoke, people are listening, he, in his heart, was saying: Oh, what about me, if I speak? Of course, I am more educated than my father, then everyone will be not only opening his eyes, but opening his eyes and his heart to what I will say and people will appreciate what I say!
So his father knew that this is the sickness of his son, so what he did? He said: O my son next week that came - I am sick this week. You go and speak! Go and give the people a sohba. He was so happy, he didnt believe that he is going to give a sohba to people. He went and sat on the chair of his father and the father was in the other room, hiding himself, looking whats going to happen. As soon as that son was beginning to speak - he is Alim, very big Alim in his time - like when we go to conferences - I go alot and I see that - the professor or the presenter is giving a presentation and most of the audience is sleeping. No one is listening, they get bored. So why they get bored? There is a secret here.
And the secret in this story is that the son, big Alim, big professor - there is no professor at that time, but he is an Alim - and as soon as he began to speak, everyone was sleeping. So he was speaking and speaking and speaking and looking and saw: most of the people were sleeping. He was so surprised. He finished as soon as possible quickly and went to his father. He said: O my father, whats going on? I am more educated than you, I know more than you. When I spoke, everyone slept. When you speak, everyone is open eyes and open heart. Whats going on? He said: O my son! That is the problem of todays scholars. at that time - They are proud of themselves, they are arrogant of themselves. When I sit to speak, the message that I am delivering to everyone, is coming from the heart of S.Muhammad sws. So when I am speaking, I have to be the first listener to what I am saying. I am the first student sitting there; I dont see myself as the representative and I dont see myself as the Alim, I see myself the least among everyone, the lower between everyone. That is the humbleness that it should be experienced, when you are going to give your speech or you will make everyone bored.
So when we zoom in with Maulana Sheikh Nazims speech, when he is speaking to us, we have to make sure, that our eyes and ears and heart are open, because we are not sitting in their presence only. At that moment their presence is the presence of Prophet sws. How we have to be sitting? How Sahaba were sitting in the presence of Prophet sws, student has to sit, to imitate that way. Although no one can reach the level of Sahaba and the Wali cannot reach the level of Prophet sws. But we have to imitate their ways, in order that we will be able to reach, what they want us to reach.
And thats why I said one time before here that: Anyone entered the cave, is safe. When you enter the presence of Maulana Sheikhs cave, we are safe. Thats why I said last time about Grandsheikh. When he was asked to carry the guidance, irshad. He said to Sheikh Sharafuddin - I am cutting it short he said to his Sheikh: What is the benefit of I take the Khilafa from you and I know my students are not going to do anything? They are going to be lazy; they are not going to do, except their prayers and thats it! So if you give me the authority that anyone sitting in my presence I will raise him to my level, then I will accept irshad!
That is a good tiding for all of us: that this secret is (with) Maulana Sultanu-l Awliya Sayidi Sheikh Muhammad Nazim Adil al Haqqani may Allah Subhana Hu wa taala give him long life.
When we are sitting in his presence, he is lifting us is like a lift. They are lifting their students up to their levels. Dont think the Sheikh will accept someone will be in the hand of Shaitan chained. Like a general in the army cannot let one of his soldiers to be prisoner in the hand of the enemies, Awliyaullah will not allow their students to be prisoners in the hands of Shaitan. Prophet sws will not allow his Ummah to be prisoners in the hands of Shaitan. Allah Subhana Hu wa taala will not allow one of His servants to be prisoner in the hands of Shaitan. Thats why Ummatu Nabi sws, Ummatu Marhuma, will be sent to Paradise!
So he said: I sent them my love, means: I take care of them. Tell them not to worry. And I give them my support, means we are supported. There are many people they say that: Maulana is sick, we dont need to come. No, come, if your heart says to you: Come. Its enough to come to the Maqam. The Maqam is... his presence (is) here, cannot be away. Allah Subhana Hu wa taala honoured us to be of Maulanas followers and from Ummatu Nabi sws.
He said also: Tell them that this is a year of opportunities. What means year of opportunities? A year of opportunities means: Dont let any opportunity to pass, without taking advantage of it. Thats why they use that word too much in the financial (world), brokery, stock-market - opportunities. Means: Dont let a stock that you can see there is a benefit from it, its an opportunity, grab it!
This year is the year of trading, he said, with Allah Subhana Hu wa taala, because it is a year full with problems, full of Revenge and Punishment. So it is a year of opportunities for those, who are humbling themselves , those who are doing their Awrad, those who are praying their prayers, those who are trying to elevate themselves against the desire of their egos! That are these opportunities! Dont let these opportunities to be lost, especially this year! And he said: This year is going to be a very heavy year on evil powers and easy year on believers!
May Allah Subhana Hu wa taala keep us and make us believers with the Baraka of our Sheikh Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al Haqqani and with the blessings of S.Muhammad alayhi afdala salat wa salam.
