00:00Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Raheem.
00:05Atiullahu atiullahu atiullahu al-Rasul wa l-Rammi minkum.
00:09Tariqatuna as-sohba wa khayru fi jamiyyah.
00:12Dar-shahr al-afat hast.
00:15And when arbaeen wa iti khakhal,
00:18wa al-uza riyadh wa s-suluk.
00:20Bi hadam asti.
00:30What to do?
00:32Everyone has their understanding,
00:39private understanding.
00:42Each one's different.
00:44This is not like his, not like theirs, not like yours.
00:48Each one's different.
00:50We're sitting.
00:52How many people?
00:54Sixteen, and when we're outside, seventeen.
01:03Seventeen worlds sitting, plus a few on the Zoom.
01:07Each one a different world for understanding.
01:11Each one with a different idea about reality,
01:21about what's Allah, what's the way,
01:27what's going on,
01:31what happened, what's going to happen.
01:34Allahumma salli al-Sayyidina Muhammad.
01:39The most we can do is to sit,
01:43and say, as they say when they go to Hajj,
01:46Labaiq.
01:49We're here.
01:52We're here.
01:53Labaiq al-humma labaiq.
01:55We showed up.
01:58And we're waiting
02:01for understanding to come.
02:05And we're asking for that understanding
02:13to be according to what we know.
02:23We know the world to be,
02:24each one of us knows the world.
02:27We're asking for our understanding
02:29to be according to what we know.
02:34This is the earth.
02:35These are people.
02:36These are men.
02:37These are women.
02:38These are dogs.
02:39These are cats.
02:40These are cows.
02:41These are planes.
02:42Everything.
02:43We have a good handle on it.
02:45Everything's like that.
02:47But,
02:52Aulia,
02:53tell us that
02:55it's only a
02:59appearance.
03:00The Holy Quran says,
03:05As-ta'idh bila.
03:07Kulu shayyin halakun ila wajha.
03:10When we read Yasin,
03:11we finish with that one.
03:13Kulu shayyin halakun ila wajha.
03:16Everything will be destroyed,
03:21except its face.
03:23One meaning.
03:24Everything will vanish,
03:25except its intention.
03:26There's a hadith of prophets.
03:27You'll reach according to your intentions.
03:28Therefore, it's important for a believer to make intentions for everything.
03:29We're intending for a holy meeting.
03:30We're intending to raise up to Allah's presence and the presence of prophets.
03:34All I said in Aulia.
03:35Even we can't do it, but we're intending.
03:37We're intending every kind of goodness.
03:41It's said in Sharia.
03:42There's 500 goodnesses.
03:43We intend to do all of them.
03:44New Day, Maghrib, Isha.
03:45We intend to do them all.
03:46If you had it right down,
03:47what are those things?
03:48We're intending for a holy meeting.
03:49We're intending for a holy meeting.
03:50We're intending to raise up to Allah's presence and the presence of prophets.
03:51All I said in Aulia.
03:52Even we can't do it, but we're intending.
03:54We're intending every kind of goodness.
03:57It's said in Sharia.
04:00There's 500 goodnesses.
04:02We intend to do all of them.
04:04New Day, Maghrib, Isha.
04:07We intend to do them all.
04:09Now, if you had it right down, what are those 500 good actions we have to do every day?
04:14You might pray, make voodoo.
04:17What's the other 498?
04:19I don't know.
04:20Aulia don't know.
04:22Ulama don't know.
04:24500.
04:26And 800?
04:28Bad things don't do it.
04:30Don't kill, don't steal.
04:32What about the other 798?
04:34I don't know.
04:36We intend.
04:41We believe in what prophets said.
04:43Actions according to intentions.
04:46Therefore, it was Shahid al-Haq.
04:48Weakly, but...
04:52We intend to do all those goodnesses and to leave all those badnesses.
04:57We can't.
04:58We're not so good.
05:00We're not that level.
05:05But we intend.
05:07And we intend for a holy meeting to be...
05:12Sheikh Nazim used to say, he used the word mercy oceans.
05:19Ibrahim Shukrullah just published his memoirs of mercy oceans.
05:25We were in Montreal.
05:27My old friend, Ibrahim Kreps, psychiatrist.
05:30Retired.
05:32He was giving a talk.
05:35And he had the book, Mercy Oceans, in front of him.
05:38And a few of us came.
05:40He was having a seminar in a church basement.
05:44He goes, you know about this book?
05:47I said, yeah, I actually wrote that book.
05:49Mercy Oceans.
05:54What's Mercy Oceans?
05:58Sheikh Nazim was trying to give us that idea from the very beginning.
06:02Mercy Oceans.
06:03The oceans of Allah's mercy.
06:05To enter into the oceans.
06:10To leave what we know for what we don't know.
06:17To leave the world of appearances.
06:24For another world, we don't know it.
06:27Everyone is wearing their shape.
06:29Everyone a different shape, isn't it?
06:32We have these bodies.
06:33We have these physical appearances.
06:35Prophet saw Allah's.
06:36In his time on earth, he had an appearance.
06:39And he left it.
06:41Where is Prophet now?
06:43If you want to see Prophet now, what does he look like now?
06:46What does Ma'ana Sheikh Nazim look like now?
06:52I want to see the Sheikh.
06:54I'm missing him.
06:55I want to see him as he was.
06:58When you want to see me?
07:00When I was 95 years old?
07:02When I was 50 years old?
07:04When I was 40 years old?
07:05Different appearances.
07:07He left all those who went to a different.
07:09Sheikh Hashem, same thing.
07:11You want to see Sheikh Hashem?
07:13How we want to see him.
07:16What's his shape?
07:18What's his appearance?
07:21I saw something maybe to think today.
07:25Ibn Arabi, he said,
07:29I forgot which chapter.
07:32I opened at random.
07:34He said,
07:36Those who know, they left the world of shapes.
07:39They're not trying to see Prophet as he was in that shape.
07:43They're not trying to see Auliyah in their shapes.
07:48The difference of parents.
07:53Sheikh Nazim said,
07:54My sight is more keen when I reach the grave.
07:56What does it mean?
07:57I saw myself giving a soft part on that the other day.
08:00I said,
08:01What's he talking about?
08:02Even it was me talking.
08:04Who is that guy?
08:05Because I'm in a different one today than I was then.
08:10The Abduhaq was looking at Abduhaq speaking two years ago.
08:13What's he talking about?
08:19We come to different understandings, different levels.
08:22And they were trying to teach us to go beyond the world of shapes, forms,
08:34to another world that's beyond that.
08:41To a different world.
08:45What does it look like?
08:47I can't describe it.
08:51There was.
08:53Sheikh Nazim told a story one time.
08:56We'll remember it again.
08:58There was an old woman in London.
09:00She was old.
09:10She couldn't see too good anymore.
09:13She wasn't walking firmly anymore.
09:18She took her walking stick and she set out from her flat, her apartment,
09:22to go see Sheikh Nazim, to visit him at Greenlands.
09:24She walked out and she was old.
09:30Her thinking wasn't so clear anymore.
09:32She got lost right away.
09:34Where am I?
09:36How am I going to get to Sheikh Nazim?
09:40When she thought that,
09:42a person came up to her,
09:45said, oh, madam, are you lost?
09:48She said, yes, I'm trying to go to see Sheikh Nazim.
09:52He said, oh, I know him very well.
09:54I'll take you to him.
09:56Come.
09:57And he took her by the hand and he led her through the street.
10:04And the woman, as they were walking through the streets of London,
10:10where she lived,
10:12all of a sudden she said, this is strange.
10:14It was still the familiar sight.
10:19She recognized the buildings and the streets,
10:22but they were different.
10:25The streets were so clean.
10:29So clean.
10:31And the buildings, the roofs were made of gold and silver with domes on top.
10:35There were so many ornaments and beautiful pictures.
10:42The butterflies were golden.
10:45It's a strange London, not the London I know.
10:51And they walked like that till they reached the door of Sheikh Nazim's place.
10:56And the woman said to her guide, I know where I am now.
10:59Thank you very much.
11:01Are you welcome?
11:02And he disappeared.
11:05He walked and she turned around.
11:07He was gone.
11:08Sheikh Nazim came out from the door.
11:10Ah, welcome.
11:14Welcome in Turkey.
11:17Oh, Sheikh.
11:19What happened?
11:20And she began to tell him the story of what happened on her way to see him.
11:25She passed through a London she never saw before.
11:29Golden domes on the roofs and silver and all kinds of streets were golden and shining.
11:38She said, what was that?
11:40He said, you met one of Allah's people, one of his aria, one of his friends.
11:46And he took you to his world.
11:53He said, everyone is a, when we're born into this life,
12:00When we come into this life, we're candidates.
12:04Like political candidates, you know, political candidates.
12:07When there's an election, we're going to be mayor or president or governor or whatever.
12:12There's three or four different candidates and you vote for one of them.
12:16Each one wants to win the election.
12:19Each one of us is a candidate.
12:21For what?
12:22To be Allah's deputy.
12:25To represent one or the other of his beautiful names and attributes.
12:32We didn't reach it yet.
12:33We're on the way.
12:35We're on the way.
12:37And he said, if you complete your candidacy and you become really his deputy, his caliphate.
12:47You're given a world like that one Wally's world.
12:52You're given a world to be his deputy in.
12:54No partners for you in that world.
12:56In this world, everyone partner for everyone else.
12:58Everyone fighting for everything.
13:00Like dogs fighting over a scrap thrown on the street.
13:05Everyone fighting.
13:07Big ones fighting to dominate the other countries.
13:09They will say, you can't do that to me.
13:10You can't do that to me.
13:11And they fight.
13:12There's war.
13:14Even on small things.
13:15Rivals.
13:17Two people after the same thing.
13:22I had a fight once with my brother.
13:25The next brother, Mike.
13:28Michael.
13:31There was one fried chicken wing left after dinner.
13:38It's on the kitchen table.
13:39Maybe this happened to you one time.
13:42The kitchen had two doors.
13:44Come from this side, you come from that side.
13:47In the middle was the table.
13:49On the table was a plate with that chicken wing.
13:53Very nice.
13:54Someone used to come to help my mother.
13:57Very nice fried chicken.
14:00Not like I've seen beyond.
14:05I came from one side.
14:06I saw that chicken wing.
14:09My brother came from the other side.
14:10He saw the chicken wing.
14:12Both of us saw that we looked up and saw each other.
14:16A rival.
14:18Who's going to get the chicken wing?
14:21Next thing I know, we're on the floor.
14:24My mother came.
14:31So rivals to each other.
14:32To be really all his deputy, no more rivalry.
14:38You can't imagine it.
14:39It's another world.
14:41Not like this world.
14:43This world, there's rivalry and jealousy and fighting.
14:51This world, we have shapes that change.
14:54Now you look like that.
14:57How old are you now?
14:5816?
14:5917?
15:01Okay.
15:02When you're 26, you're not going to look like that.
15:04When you're 36, you're not going to look like that.
15:06When you're 76, you're certainly not going to look like that.
15:11This is a world of changing shapes.
15:15What does prophet look like now?
15:20We want to see prophet.
15:22How?
15:23As he was when he was 40.
15:24As he was when he was 63, when he passed on.
15:27How we're seeing?
15:31We leave our shapes and go to another existence.
15:33And Auliyah that Arifin, Gnostics, the translator of Ibn Arabi said Gnostics.
15:48I didn't see the Arabic.
15:49He didn't have the Arabic in his Spanish group.
15:52Those who know, they don't look anymore to the world of shapes.
15:57They're not looking to see prophet in a shape.
16:02Or to see the Auliyah in their shapes.
16:06They're looking for presences.
16:09Something else.
16:11As Sheikh Nazim said, try to go more.
16:14Try to leave this world you're blocked in it.
16:19I'm seeing everything like this.
16:21Okay, you know the appearance of this.
16:24Allah has endless worlds.
16:25Try to go to the next one.
16:26What is it like?
16:27Not like this one.
16:29How do I get there?
16:30By belief power.
16:31By believing it's there.
16:33So they take you to the world.
16:37The world of the Asma wa Sifat.
16:41When Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was going on his
16:45Yisra in Miraj, his night journey, famous night journey.
16:49They went through every level that Allah created.
16:52The seven heavens, the seven earths, the seven Jehendams, the seven paradise, and beyond, to the throne, to the earth.
17:02And at every place there was a door.
17:11There was a door.
17:12Every level, say paradise is from first paradise, second heaven, second heaven, each one had a door, a gate.
17:22And Jibril would knock that gate and there would be a guardian there.
17:27Who's there?
17:28A doorman.
17:30Who's there?
17:31If Muhammad saw, I said, Jibril would say,
17:34Ulhu, enter.
17:36And they would go in.
17:39They reached to, beyond this world, to a place the Quran calls Sidratul Muntaha.
17:50Sidratul Muntaha, the last stop for the mind.
17:53See, the farthest rope tree, there's a tree, mystical tree.
18:01This is the last place.
18:03The last place you can say, I am, according to the way you understand.
18:07If you go past it, you go out of this existence into another existence.
18:11You can't, you can't take it.
18:20We want everything to be like this.
18:22If it's going to be not like this, we start screaming.
18:25We can't.
18:26No, no.
18:28Prophet said, what's after this?
18:30Jibril said, I don't know.
18:32Allah and His Prophet knows better.
18:34He said, we have to go on.
18:36And he was taken to this place, the Quran says,
18:44Two Bosnets.
18:48One commentator said, the distance you can shoot an arrow two times.
18:53400 yards.
18:55400 yards from Allah?
18:57What does it mean?
19:00405 yards, you passed him already?
19:02Or what does it mean?
19:03Another sheikh said to me, two Bosnets, and he pointed to his eyebrows.
19:10His two.
19:12Wow.
19:14He came to a place, a mystical station, beyond our understanding.
19:20This time the voice came to him.
19:23Who's there?
19:25And Prophet saw Allah, he said, you.
19:29No more Muhammad.
19:30He wasn't seeing himself anymore.
19:33You.
19:35You are, I am not.
19:37Grand sheikh said, make that dua.
19:39You are, I am not.
19:41Prophet reached it.
19:43The reality of that.
19:45Who's there?
19:46You only.
19:48What did sheikh Hashem say?
19:51Was it here or in Dallas?
19:52I forgot.
19:54There.
19:55There was a conference.
19:56And he described that.
20:01The divine voice came to Prophet.
20:03Describe me.
20:04What do you see?
20:05You reached Kabo Koseni or Adna.
20:08Okay.
20:09Who's there?
20:10You only.
20:11Okay.
20:12Describe me.
20:13When you say you only, what do you mean?
20:15Describe me.
20:16Describe.
20:17Kahar.
20:18Or Wahid o Kahar.
20:20Another version.
20:22Describing him by his names.
20:25And attributes.
20:28Beyond physical appearances.
20:31What does Kahar look like?
20:32What does Rahim look like?
20:34What does Jabar look like?
20:35What does Wadud look like?
20:38They're not shapes.
20:39They're tajalli they say.
20:43It's a word for tajalli.
20:44Tajalli.
20:45Appearances.
20:48And the Prophet was going beyond the world of shapes to the world of tajalli.
20:53Appearance.
20:55Saying.
20:57You want Allah to love you?
21:00Follow me.
21:02Out from the world of appearances to another world.
21:07Or endless worlds.
21:08There's not only Kahar.
21:09There's other names and attributes.
21:15To reach.
21:17To.
21:19The world of.
21:21As Shaykhana said.
21:22Mercy oceans.
21:24Mercy oceans.
21:25To come out from everything like this.
21:27To something else.
21:29That you didn't imagine.
21:31You pass through.
21:33Imaginings.
21:34Imaginings.
21:35But it has to be real.
21:36To come really to something.
21:37Never.
21:38We all grant us.
21:44Shaykh is trying to.
21:47Get each one of his people.
21:49To their real.
21:51Situation.
21:52Not this.
21:54Omar Shaykh.
21:55You didn't make me.
21:56Caliphate.
21:58Caliphate.
21:59Sultan.
22:00In this world.
22:01This world.
22:02Is nothing.
22:03I didn't raise you.
22:04To.
22:05Stick you on earth.
22:07In this.
22:09Prisoner of this.
22:11I'm raising you to.
22:13Another.
22:15I don't like it.
22:16Be patient.
22:17You find something.
22:18You like it.
22:19Later.
22:20Be patient.
22:21With what you don't like.
22:22Reach to what you like.
22:27To be patient.
22:30Sufism.
22:31To be patient.
22:32With what we don't like.
22:34Allah is taking us.
22:35To what we like.
22:37Reach what you like.
22:38In this life.
22:39To stay.
22:41I was saying that.
22:42In that.
22:43So.
22:44Two years ago.
22:50He gave us a lot.
22:51In this life.
22:52Thanks to him.
22:53For his favors.
22:54But it's not the final thing.
22:55It's going to go.
22:58We're going to.
22:59Drop it.
23:00And go to another.
23:02And we're trying to prepare for that.
23:04May Allah grant us.
23:05In Allah Tawfiq.
23:06We are to Fatih.
23:08We intend to do our best.
23:09To reach those mercy oceans.
23:12Fatih.
23:14Finally.
23:15It's Allah's doing.
23:16Do your work.
23:17I'll do my work.
23:18He said.
23:19You start the ball rolling.
23:21I'll pick it up.
23:23We can't take it to its final.
23:24Only he can.
23:26Fatih.
23:28Fatih.
23:33Now what?
23:34Zikr.
23:35I'll show you.
