Sheykh Efendi is speaking about the many events that are remembered for happening on the 10th of Muharrem: Adam (as) was forgiven; the ship of Nuh (as) settled on land; the sea parted for Musa (as) to lead the Bani Israel to safety; Yunus (as) was freed from the fish; Ismael (as) was born; Hazreti Huseyin (ra) was martyred. Now, a big wind is coming with a flood of fire. To be in safety, be around the Ahl ul-Beyt – members of the family of Holy Prophet (saws).
Friday afternoon, Safar 8, 1431 (January 22, 2010)
Paradise lies at the feet of some mothers – those who are obedient to the Will of ALLAH swt. Anger is not for women. Story of blacksmith taking care of his mother, why he did it, and the stations of both mother and son. Some mothers today are not approving their children’s Islamic lifestyle. Be careful of what you say because it may come true if you are beloved to ALLAH swt.
Sheykh Efendi is saying a believer waits, watches, and tries to understand. He doesn’t fool people and he doesn’t get fooled. Everyone is waiting for the last takbir from Sayiddina Mehdi (as). Don’t interfere with things that are not for you. Confusion is going to start from within Islam. Your faith will help you to respond to attacks, and to stay on the side of Mehdi (as), not to fall to the side of dajjal.
Sheykh Efendi is saying that Islam is a complete lifestyle. But Muslims have come under the control of zionists and the lifestyle they are promoting. Holy Prophet pbuh said that a believer does not fool anyone, and cannot be fooled by anyone. But Muslims have developed fear of death, and are losing fear of ALLAH swt. If you don’t keep the shehadat alive in yourself, you turn away from having hope in ALLAH swt and start to believe in other things – like pills and doctors. People are being fooled by academic knowledge. Work for ahirat.
Sheykh Efendi is saying that safety is in fitting ourselves to Islam the way that ALLAH swt gave it to us. Prophets have been calling people for generations to the correct way. Sheykh Efendi relates the story of Prophet Nuh aleyhselam, and he continues on, saying that Holy Prophet Muhammad saws said that protection is with Ahl ulBeyt (family of Prophet). Stay around them to be safe in the flood of fire that is coming. People are being selective about the parts of shariat they will accept. They have not reached mature faith where they can accept what ALLAH swt ordered, even though their ego doesn’t like it.
Today’s people are not even remembering ALLAH swt when they are in sejde. They are preoccupied with love of the world (dunya) – car, bank account, children, whatever. People are fearing death. But If you put love of ahirat in your heart, you have no worries. Dunya will run after you. Be aware of the state you are in when making salat, that ALLAH swt is watching you, and that Azrael (Angel of Death) is very near.
Sheykh Efendi also tells us the story of Namrud and Ibrahim (aleyhis salam) — that Namrud declared lordship to Allah and was defeated by a tiny, crippled mosquito. Today’s 21st century people, who don’t even have any power, are acting and trying to live like Namrud, declaring lordship to Allah. We must wake up!
Sheykh Efendi is saying to be obedient to the ones who give you news from ahirat (eternity). Have fear from ALLAH swt. Live as ALLAH and His Prophet want – not as your ego wants. Holy Prophet saws said that ALLAH is going to lift the haybet from Muslims, so their enemies will finish them – because the Muslims fell in love with dunya and came to hate death.
