Destur ya Sayyidi...Audhubillahiminashaitanirrajim BismillahirRahmanirRahim

Mostly people are coming from far distances and they are understanding English. Therefore inshAllah I am asking from our masters. Particularly master of masters, Sultanul Awliya to support ourselves and to grant us something that maybe useful for me for you.

We are saying 'Ashadu an la ilaha illallah wa ashadu sayyidina Muhammadan abduhu wa habibihu wa rasulu'. This was well known kalimatull ihlas. La ilahe illallah Muhammadan rasulullah. It is biggest pleasure for a person to be able to say 'la ilahe illallah Muhammadan rasulullah'. There are millions of people they cant speak this. For us it is easy to say 'la ilahe illallah'...(short zikir)

The biggest pleasure, biggest treasure for a person to be able to 'la ilaha illallah Muhammadan rasulullah'. O people, it is a short life. As prophet peace be upon him was saying my ummah's life age is going to be between 60 and 70 years and very rare to get up from 70 to 80, 90, and 100, very few. It is a short life and we must try to reach something through our short life period to collect some treasures.

Through all books it is written so many histories that they are giving to people good lessons. It is written through some Islamic books that once upon a time a caravan there passing, asking to reach one city to another. And they are not reaching because just nighttime coming and everyone tired. They are giving a break to rest and people landing they are asking to rest. One person coming and saying to them, "O people of caravan. Do you know where we are landed?"

- "We are not seeing anything here because it is so dark"

- "Yes it is true but i know it just mentioned through our old books that this valley could live precious stones like emerald, ruby, diamond, pearls, so many. Every piece of this land it is such a precious stone. O people, listen to me and try to take something from here".

Some of them saying, "now we are so tired, we cant be able to move to look such a things. Doesn't matter we may sleep we may take a rest". Some of them believing in that person and trying to collect. Some of them collecting a lot of stones and some of them they are taking one handful putting in pockets. They are in different situation and taking. So many people taking. So many people not taking. So many poeple taking more. So many people taking less. Some others never taking. And dawn time they are preparing for themselves to move and everyone taking what it is necessary for them. Preparing themselves and beginning on their way. Till dawn appearing and lights coming, they are trying what was we are collecting. They are looking so beautiful precious stones. Some of them they are happy that they fill their bags, very happy. Some others are saying why we left half bags empty, why we are not putting much more? Some of them saying why we are taking only through our pockets? And some others saying even not taking one from here. That is a good lesson for giving people.

That is an example of dunya, like our life on this planet, through this world. And who was saying "O people, wake up! O people wake up and fill as much as you can fill your bags because this is a place filled with precious stones"? Now we are living on this world and Allah Almighty sending anbiya, prophets, and prophets saying 'O people look. Carry on through your short life as much as you can carry. Carry! What is that precious materials that is 'amaalul salih' good deeds and servanthood. And to believe- iman. Iman. Look and take as much as possible. Because you should find it when down coming and lights getting up. You should know what it was you were collecting. But people mostly they are drunk. "eh", saying, " what are we doing with these stones. Our bags are full with so many things. Yet we are taking more stones? For what? No need. Then we are not listing to such a foolishness." They are saying and never taking anything. Coming empty going empty. Yes. Therefore we know through darkness. Through this life. Prophets coming and saying 'o people try to collect much more precious servanthood to reach your Lord's pleasure. O people", calling. They are "ehhh"

They are not believing in ahirah. Once upon a time, coming some atheist people. Unbelievers, and asking to visit Sayyidina Ali, Allah blessings him. And saying 'we are cmoing to visit you and to make a discuss'

Sayyidina Ali saying 'discuss- maybe, but argument- i dont accept it'. Argument is forbidden, but discuss something- it is okay. They are saying 'as you like. Say o, you are Imam, Imam of Muslims. You are saying saying that there is another life beyond this life on earth. This is a short life and beyond it there is an eternal life. And you are believing such a thing and saying for something this is halal and that is haram. And you are also making so many prayings and fasting and doing so many things. And you are giving trouble to yourselves, you are not living freely.

Freedom so so beautiful. To be free no halal no haram. Everything halal, no haram. This is our phliosophical ideas. And you are carrying so many difficulties. We are free. We are doing anything we like. What are you going to say?"

Sayyidina Ali saying, "I am asking one question to you. You are saying that you are so happy through your life because you are free to do anything. No preventing anything from your egos. Yes maybe. And you are saying we are carrying heavy burden because that is haram you must not do this and then we must pray we must fast we must do charity we must hajj such a things. Yes. O people, you are saying this", Sayyidina Ali answering, "one question, do you think coming a day that that day you and we are going to be on same point?" They are quickly understanding. (countdown)....now it is everyone good doing ones and bad doing ones their lives coming day by day to reach to zero point. "Yes?"

They are saying 'yes'.

"That means you are going to be zero one day and we are also coming to be zero. What you was getting pleasure doing everything when our lives going to be zero, finishing. Zero finish. And you are saying we tasted everything through our life but that day all pleasure that you are running after it going to be zero, finished. And what we are saying for ourselves, that oh you are carrying so many heavy burdens to do this to do that, from prayings. Also our burden coming coming, last day going to be zero. That means you are going to be zero and we are also reaching to zero. Now, there is a question. A question. When you are going to be zero and we are going to be zero. Zero going to be equal zero you are not going to be able to reach something that should be for you. Also we are going to be zero and we cant carry anything also- after zero nothing. You are going zero, we are going zero. Yes. Yes as you saying, we are accepting. Now another question", s. ali saying. "o unbelievers, o materialists people, atheist people. As you are saying, you are nothing beyond our life. You and ourselves equal. But you must think if we should find what we are believing we are going to reach endless pleasures. Think about yourselves. What is going (to come) to your heads." And Hazrati Ali making their heads "tak tak". "What is going to come to your heads, to you, if their is hells and paradise? What should be your position? That time if nothing from hells and paradise you and me we are going to be equal. But if there is hells and paradise they are believing they are getting into paradise and you are losing everything. And you are going to hells. Think on it!"

They are thinking and saying "O Imam. You are so right. Your opinion, what you saying, it is just 100% filling our mentalities. Now we are understanding that we must keep the safe way. Safe way- your way. Wrong way- our way.

We are also saying 'ashadu an la ilaha illallah, illallah, illallah, wa ashadu sayyidina Muhammadan abduhu wa habibihu wa rasulu sallallahu alayhi wa sal'lam"

Fatiha.
