Osmanli Naksibendi Hakkani Sufi Dergah

In the Name of Allah, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful

Destur ya Sayyidi, Meded, Meded ya Sultanul Awliya.Audhu billahi mina shaitani rajim, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, la haula wa la quwatta illa billahil 'Aliyul 'Azim.

Life is a biggest grant from Allah Almighty to everyone. Even ants are knowing this and they are praising their Lord and glorifying. Ants! And smaller than ants also, so many creatures.

They have an understanding, 'idrak'. They have an understanding, because you can't find anything in existence not knowing its Creator! It is open for all. And that is (what) Allah Almighty is declaring through His Holy Books, particularly the Seal of Prophet's Book, the Holy Quran: "Wa ini shayin illa yusabbihu bi hamdi (?)." "There is nothing in existence that is not knowing its Creator." Knowing and glorifying and giving their thanks and praisings on the last point of their levels. If they have a level- that they can reach to that level- and through there to glorify, they are not leaving it. They are on their top limit of being in creation and from that position they are giving their most high respects and praisings and glories to their Lord. Everyone giving. Must be! "Wa lakin la taftahuna tasbihuna." "But mankind, not everyone may understand that secret and hidden position from every creature."

No one can be in existence without knowing and glorifying their Creator! Everything! Because it is an honour; you can't measure it, you can't bring a balance for evaluating that honour. It is impossible to bring a scale for the honour that (is) knowing and feeling even an atom's piece, because everything that you are bringing it is belonging to our material world. Through the material world, every scale of the material world's values can't give any amount of value for an atom's pleasure and feelings for being in existence. Just they are knowing it and (they are) praising and glorifying (their Creator).

What about man, mankind, that the have been created? Their creation at the beginning, as a first man, his design and his form just granted from their Creator. The Creator just designed man and then giving their forms 'bi dhat' , by Himself, not leaving to angels to do that, no! For first man He designed and He formed, as He liked. First man and first woman. Man and woman are so closer through their designs- Glory to Allah!- but they are never going to be same. Perhaps male and female, man and woman, they are just 100% different. Their designs 100% different, their forms according to their design 100% different, men and women. Even one hair on the bodies of men and women just different 100%. Their outlooking design 100% different. Their inner organs 100% different from each other. They are a couple, but- outlooking you think they are similar- but never similar, they are 100% different.

And foolish Shaitan through his foolishness and idiotness running after heedless mankind and trying to make men's and women's understanding: that they are same. They are saying: "(There is) equality between man and woman." Ya Hu, if it is going to be equality (between) men and women, must be only men or only women. If we are equal with women, women must be men. If we are equal with everything in women, we must be women, no men. But shaitanic teaching is giving such a false understanding that man (is) like (a) woman or women (are) like men. Satanic teaching asking to make peoples' understanding about men and women only showing caricature- caricature, that it is the simplest description for a person. If you think that caricature belongs to that man, this through that man and his caricature what distance? That caricature, if (it is) going to be as a man, then women (are) going to be as men, or, if that caricature (is) going to be a women, then women (are) going to be like men.

So far! Allah Almighty He is Creator, Subhanallah! Creating first man, then creating woman. He is Designer and Former, forming also. For first man and first woman, as He designed and formed, yet same operation going on, but it is not as the first man's creation and designing. The Lord of Heavens (is) saying: "I am Designer (of) you, oh Children of Adam, through the wombs of your mums. I am that One. No one can involve in My Designing and forming and creating and operating and granting what I am going to grant to that new creation from mankind through their wombs. I am that One."

First man He created (him) out (of the womb of a mother), because (the) first man (is) not coming from mum and dad, father and mother. He prepared, designing and giving, blowing from the divine Soul to that. When reaching, it was getting up and ready to be a man, representing, to be deputy of his Creator. And second, then, when Allah Almighty was asking to create Hawa, Eve- Adam's creation was open, but Eve's creation it is secret, hidden- through traditional knowledge from the left side bone, one of it, but not giving details:

Adam was little bit sleeping, a little nap, and Hawa was created, ready! That (in) no time and not using Allah Almighty for Eve what He used for Adam 's creation- so many kinds of things for forming him. Only nap and she was ready.

Therefore women's creation (is) just 100% different from Adam's creation. And their designs (are) 100% different from men's design. Even traditional knowledge saying that it is taken from (the) chests bone of Adam- therefore there is an area, no bone, no rib- but what about for women, for Hawa? She has also that 'naks', missing rib? No. Why continue? That is a secret knowledge that for our heedless understanding showing this Allah Almighty that: "I created from (him) and no one witnessed that creation and that happening."

Therefore woman's spirituality is too high, man's spirituality too heavy. Therefore women quickly may reach to highest positions in divinely Presence; their souls (are) just prepared for that purpose, therefore women are most closer to heavenly positions. You understand?

And heavenly beings, their faces always look like- through their beauties- not to man, women's beauty. Tajalli, divinely Appearance just came on that point of creation when He was creating Eve from his (Adam's) right. Therefore, when Adam (was) awakening and looking, just he lost everything in Paradise- nothing to look and to enjoy with anything. He was only attracted from the beauty and beauty belongs to Heavens, and beauty is from the spiritual world, (it is) a grant.

Therefore Rasulullah sws was saying: "I like them, I love them. Allah making me to love them (women), because their spirituality (is) so high and reaching to heavenly positions (in the) spiritual world." That is something secret that you never heard it yet anyone.

And therefore women are on respected position everywhere. May be a King, may be an Emperor- if a maiden (is) coming with her beauty in front of him, he may come from his throne down and respecting, and his heart running to her heart with love, with enjoyment. Nothing enjoying a King through his palace, anything from material beauty- as Adam never enjoyed with Paradises' grants and he was walking up and down through Paradise as (if) he was asking someone else. His heart (was) never getting to be in satisfaction. Everything, every beauty in Paradise, jewels, golden, diamonds, palaces, everything never filling his heart with pleasure. When he was looking Eve, Hawa, ohhh! sitting in her beauty. Then Adam was saying, giving signs to her: "Come to me", twinkling his eye.And Hawa was giving signs, saying: "No, you come".(and finally he was getting up and coming over to her.) Therefore it is not true (for) women to run after men, but men must run after women! People in our time are only learning outlooking measures for everything; never asking to enter through everything's real wisdoms, through their real positions. Everything they are measuring from outside, never entering in it. Therefore Allah Almighty (was) sending Prophets to take people in, to call them: "Come in, don't look too much (to the) outside (of) this palace, but come in and look what is in it!"

And women may reach so quickly to heavenly stations, and we are looking every time women are running much more than men to spirituality and men mostly are like rocks or wood or without senses, so hard creation, men! And the Lord just created men in such a way, because the heavy burden of this life can't be carried through a creation like the creation of women. Therefore men have been created (as) such a hard creation, and (it is) very difficult to call men to be interested in spirituality, to leave material being and to run in it, in their spiritual positions.

Where you can say equality (between) men and women? So foolishness, so foolish people! For what (are they saying this)? To grind women, to make women as men. It is fighting to nature. Then spiritually you are finishing and vanishing women, if (you are) using them for what men (are) working on it or (what) they have been ordered (to do) or given responsibility (for). (The) responsibility for men (is to do) every heavy work, to carry heavy conditions of life as a shell protecting a pearl. Pearl by itself can't protect itself, except (by) being in a shell. And men (are) like a shell for women. But they are asking to make (the) pearl as a shell.

You may find shell in Shell Company. You men go to Shell Company, say: "This company owes us.Why putting here? We are shells? Give us our shares! Every year you are taking trillions on the name of Shell Oil Company. We are shells, give us our shares!" You must do application to rights of mankind to ask your shares from Shell Company. Why not? I shall write an application.to make whole world to stand up and to ask shares from Shell Company.

How can be shell equal to pearl? With which mentality they are claiming this and making so many noisy statements? And it is impossible!

May Allah give us good understanding, to make our whole thanks to Allah Almighty that He granted men what He granted, and granted also to women what men never reaching. But Allah Almighty granting women to be for men also. Therefore the Prophet sws was saying: "Allah Almighty (is) making me to love women", because each one of them (is) carrying a secret beauty from (His) Beauty Oceans that (is) giving (to) the hearts of men pleasure, and giving them the taste and pleasure and enjoyment for eternity. And eternity- through eternity women are the holes (?) of Beauty Oceans, to run in it and people to be in it. If no women, no Beauty Oceans can reach to man!

May Allah forgive us! Be respectful to your wives, to women! Keep them and give them their honours! 21st century people never giving real rights and respect and love to women. And they are wrong! Therefore Allah Almighty (is) going to punish 21st century's men to be killed mostly. Even going to be 40 men to be sent to death, one woman going to live- 40 women for one man. 4o men going to die and one man remaining and 4o times more women going to be protected on earth and whom should remain? (Those) whom going (are) to be respectful to women, making them in high respected position, making them to be respected ones. 4o women and one man. 4o men going to die, because they are not respecting women, they are not giving (them) their real rights and respects. 21st century people are going to be punished by death penalty! Who (is) respecting women, that through themselves Beauty Oceans (are) appearing and sweetness of life going through with them, those people should remain, others should be taken away, because they are rubbish people!

We are asking to be respectful for our ladies, for whole women, that Allah Almighty happy! For the honour of the most honoured one in His divinely Presence, S.Muhammad sws, Fatiha.

Therefore 'X'. looking such a woman. not to be unmarried. Unmarried people (are) disloved people in the divine Presence. Allah never likes to be man without marriage. You ask, Allah sends!

(To the ladies afterwards:) This is coming from Grandsheikh to give you honour.

(Some men are thinking that they will have 4o wives:) No, 4o sticks.
