02:12Ayuhal mu'minun al-hadirun.
02:14Assalamu alaikum.
02:16Rahmatullahi ta'ala wa barakatuhu.
02:17Ujimun Mubarak.
02:20The day before, Yom Ha Ashura Mubarak.
02:24Night of Muharram Mubarak.
02:25Chek isma'a haqi, Allah bless him.
02:29He put forth the ilu'ana ashura min Muharramaharami.
02:37Yom Ashura.
02:38The tenth of Muharram is the day of Ashura.
02:41So don't ruin yourselves and waste your lives by committing sins and running after your bad desires.
02:47Rather fast the day of Ashura.
02:49Forever fast the day of Ashura atones for your sins during the past year from the beginning.
02:55It's an important day.
03:01Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Sayyidina Muhammad, he was fasting tenth of Muharram.
03:08And he said it was the day that both prophets were rescued from their trials.
03:20Every prophet was tried.
03:22And also Allah sallallahu alayhi was the most tried one.
03:26Every trials came to prophets.
03:29The trials of Auliyah is less.
03:30Our trials are less and less.
03:31They were tried.
03:33And in the end, Allah swore to rescue the believers, to grant victory to them.
03:45He rescued them on this day.
03:48Yom Ashura.
03:49The prophet was fasting.
03:50Thanks Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
03:52And they said to him, Ya Rasulullah.
03:55The band of Israel is fasting today also.
03:58Jewish is fasting today also.
04:00Because it's the day Sayyidina Musa was saved through the Red Sea from Firaun.
04:05From the Dead Sea.
04:08And the prophet said, I'm closer to Sayyidina Musa than they are.
04:14If Allah give me a long life, I fast two days next year.
04:16But that was his last year in this world.
04:19He fasted one day and made intention for two.
04:22So that's the sunnah.
04:23To fast, Ashura.
04:25And if you can do one more day, according to the prophet's intention,
04:29takes away sins all whole year, inshallah.
04:34We are asking mercy.
04:36We have nothing.
04:37No one has anything to come to Allah to present.
04:44Oh my Lord, look what I brought you.
04:46Sheikh Nazim used to say that an ant has more chance to bring you a gift.
04:53You'll like it.
04:54Then we have to bring Allah something.
04:56What we're going to bring him.
05:00Best thing to be his servant.
05:04Best thing to be nothing.
05:07That he can be everything.
05:10Sheikh Nazim used to say, Allah is with us, but we're not with him.
05:14And I thought first he was admonishing us.
05:18Allah is with us and we're not giving heed to it.
05:21And then as he spoke more, he meant to say, Allah is with us, but we're not with him.
05:28He said, no room for a second one beside him.
05:32I watched in Cyprus one time, one alim came to Sheikh Nazim.
05:41And Sheikh Nazim was explaining to him about Allah sitting on the throne.
05:50And the alim would say, yes, Allah is sitting on that throne.
05:53And Sheikh Nazim, which throne can hold him?
05:57If it's like that, then there's Allah and a throne, two things together in the same space.
06:03Can't be.
06:04Can't be.
06:05No room for a second one.
06:07In any way.
06:08In any kind.
06:11Only him.
06:13Grand Sheikh said to Sheikh Nazim, and he said to us,
06:16Say, you are, I am not.
06:21It's a meditation to try and take away this terrible ego.
06:30We were saying last night, all of us is busy all our lives.
06:34Doing what?
06:35We're in the construction business.
06:38We're building something.
06:40What are we building?
06:42A glorious me.
06:43We spend our whole lives, till the time we're old and white hair, building me.
06:50Oh, my servant, what you made.
06:53Oh, my Lord, look, I made me.
06:56Very good.
06:57Where you got you from?
07:00We spent our life doing that.
07:02And in Tarakat, the difficult test to be nothing.
07:10Sheikh Nazim said, who comes to us with feathers?
07:12We plucked them.
07:15We're trying to be patient with his tests.
07:19Making us to be nothing.
07:21To surrender to his will.
07:24That we can surrender to a prophet's will.
07:27That we can surrender to Allah's will.
07:29To be nothing.
07:32The tests of Enviya and Auliyah, very difficult.
07:35One person, we spoke to him a couple months ago in Canada.
07:46He said, I'm on the cusp of Gwilayat.
07:50He said, you're on the cusp of Gwilayat.
07:52He said, I made a me.
07:53I'm almost putting the final bricks in the wall.
07:57He said, to pass that cusp, you're going to have to get rid of it all.
08:00Whatever you made is going to be zero.
08:05The sheikh is going to do something to take it away.
08:07To be nothing.
08:09What you're going to say that time.
08:12You know, he told the story of Sayyid Amin Rafai.
08:16He was doing so much worshipping and fasting.
08:24And doing all kinds of religious actions.
08:31Finally, he had a vision.
08:33He was climbing a ladder or a stair almost to the last point.
08:37And there was a door.
08:38A golden door in front of him.
08:41And he needs a key.
08:42And he was saying, oh my Lord.
08:47Oh my Lord, grant me the key to that door to come to you.
08:54And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, it's not my way to give you that key.
08:59You have to take it from one of my servants.
09:03And we didn't know what to do.
09:07He went back.
09:08And next day in the market, he found somebody, a stranger.
09:12Came to him and said, oh Ahmed.
09:15I have the key you're looking for.
09:18Sheikh Hashem used to tell this story.
09:20I have the key.
09:23Ahmed Ben-Divie, he was firm on his me still.
09:28He said to that one, no, I only take the key from the key maker.
09:34The person said, as you like.
09:36And disappeared.
09:37He disappeared.
09:38He disappeared.
09:41Again, Ahmed Ben-Divie found himself in a kashf, a ruya, a vision.
09:47Climbing that golden ladder to the golden door.
09:51Oh my Lord, grant me the key to the door.
09:54I can come to be with you.
09:56Oh my servant.
09:58I gave that key to that one you met.
10:02Take it from him and come.
10:03Now Ahmed knows it's like that.
10:09He went back.
10:12He found that servant once again.
10:16He said, oh, sir, can you give me that key?
10:21And the servant said, now that key is expensive.
10:27Before I was giving it to you for free.
10:30And you didn't take it.
10:31You say, I only take from the key maker.
10:33You were proud.
10:34Okay, now that key has a price.
10:38What's that price?
10:39I pay anything.
10:40He said, all your me, all your knowledge.
10:43Ahmed Ben-Divie was Sheikh Oly Islam.
10:45He was the top alam, mufti.
10:47And he had built his whole life on his knowledge.
10:53Everything you got, that's the price.
10:56You have to give it all up.
10:58And Ahmed Ben-Divie said, I give any price for that key.
11:02Okay.
11:03And that stranger looked.
11:05Ahmed was a strange looking.
11:07Ahmed Ben-Divie, he withdrew, sucked or vacuumed or took all Ahmed Ben-Divie's knowledge.
11:20He was Sheikh Oly Islam.
11:21Now if you say, Salaamu Alaikum, he doesn't know how to say, Alaikum Wa Salaam.
11:24He can't read Fatiha.
11:25He can't do anything anymore.
11:27He took everything and he didn't give the key right away.
11:30Then he disappeared.
11:33Ahmed Ben-Divie, he became an idiot.
11:34Ahmed Ben-Divie, he's wandering around looking for that person.
11:41All his friends, these other ulamars.
11:43Are you really what you did?
11:45You went with that person and now look what happened to you.
11:48His family was teasing.
11:49Everyone was teasing him.
11:53He stayed true until one day that person showed up again.
12:00After months, after six months, after one year, he tested him.
12:03A hard test.
12:05I'm on the cusp of wilayat.
12:07Okay.
12:08The cusp is something to pass into the next big test.
12:12You're still coming with me.
12:14You can't come with me.
12:17Add wilayat to what I built of me.
12:19No.
12:20It doesn't work that way.
12:22You have to be nothing.
12:24Cup has to be empty before I put anything in it.
12:26It says the shaykh.
12:29It says, Prophet, say Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala.
12:33To be nothing.
12:35And that person found Shaykh Ahmad Ben-Divie and he began to put back.
12:42Now I'm putting back all the knowledge I took, but this time is coming pure.
12:46You learned it from your ego.
12:47You built a big structure of me.
12:49With it, it was poison.
12:51Now I'm giving it back to you pure.
12:56But from now on, you have to wear over your eyes a burqa.
12:59Anyone looks to your eyes, they should pass out or die.
13:04That power is so strong.
13:06But like that, they test the marine with me.
13:14To be me.
13:15I am.
13:16I am, I am.
13:19Do you think the shaykh is going to pin a medal, add one more medal or trophy to the I am that you built?
13:25No, I became.
13:26No.
13:28It's not like that.
13:30They take everything.
13:32Still have a few minutes.
13:34We told the story of Sayyid Avukadur Yelani.
13:38He had a marine, he was training him for years with heavy trials.
13:49Finally, he feels that the marine is ready to receive his amanah, to be wali Allah, to open the taif in his chest.
13:57And one last test, he took him in the mountains.
14:03He said, oh, my son, we're going to the mountain.
14:07One important scene still to show you.
14:10There were with me so many difficult tests.
14:14They walked way up on a mountain pass on a cliff overlooking the river.
14:191,000 feet, 2,000 feet, you can imagine.
14:22Down below is like the Grand Canyon.
14:24Down below is the river.
14:27Like the vortex.
14:31And at a certain point, without saying anything, Sayyid Avukadur Yelani pushed that marine over the cliff.
14:39Down onto the rocks below.
14:44For sure to die.
14:45No way to live.
14:47And that marine didn't say anything.
14:49Surrendered.
14:52And Sayyid Avukadur Yelani, out of blessing, is going to give him his trust.
14:57He sees he's not complaining.
14:58With his spiritual power, he reached down and pulled him back up onto that path.
15:04He's about to recite on him.
15:06And suddenly a voice, not so fast.
15:09It was Shao Naqshaban, period.
15:13Say, not so fast.
15:14Not so fast.
15:16Sayyid Avukadur Yelani said, why?
15:18He didn't complain.
15:20He didn't do anything.
15:21He said, yes, by his tongue there was nothing.
15:24But we were able to hear deeper.
15:26As he was going down, he thought, I wonder with which wisdom my sheikh has pushed me over this cliff.
15:36He said, to us that sounds like a complaint.
15:39The way Sheikh Hashem used to say it like that.
15:43Sounds like a complaint.
15:45It's not ready yet.
15:45Where are we?
15:49Where are we?
15:51This is the day of Ashura.
15:53We're waiting our Lord's rescue.
15:56Our Lord's rescue.
15:59If we
15:59can't reach
16:02our perfection in this life,
16:06he said,
16:07Naqshbandi,
16:07Shaykhs can
16:09intervene in our last seven breaths
16:12to take us
16:12to a whole new life
16:15to complete our trainings
16:17up to the fifth breath.
16:20Sixth breath for Prophet
16:21Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
16:22to do what he knows only.
16:24Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
16:26And the last breath for Allah
16:27coming.
16:29No one knows.
16:32It's saved for him.
16:34It needs a rescue.
16:35It needs what we can't do
16:38for ourselves.
16:38We have to do
16:39everything we can do.
16:41And in the end,
16:41it needs a divine rescue.
16:44And the day of Ashura
16:45is the time for
16:46Allah rescued his prophets.
16:49Now this whole world
16:50is in a
16:50chaos.
16:52They're threatening
16:53to put this whole world
16:54in fire.
16:56To burn everything.
16:57To destroy everything.
17:00And Sheikh Nazir said,
17:01there's no Noah's Ark
17:02now to protect us.
17:03Noah's Ark now
17:05is in our hearts.
17:07What does it mean?
17:08It means to be for Allah.
17:11So try your best.
17:12Say,
17:13Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.
17:15Say,
17:15La Ilayina Allah.
17:16Say,
17:17Ya Salam.

17:22du'a
17:24and
17:25We recite it
17:30every time
17:30in the Khatim.
17:32We consign our
17:33life
17:34to Allah.
17:35He sees his
17:36service.
17:37We're asking
17:38to be saved
17:40from this terrible
17:41Armageddon
17:42coming
17:42every day.
17:43They're working,
17:44working,
17:45working.
17:45How we can do it?
17:46Like a giant
17:47chess game.
17:48And in the end,
17:51Sayyidina Ali said,
17:53be careful
17:54too much plotting.
17:55And they're plotting
17:55and plotting
17:56and plotting.
17:57How many people
17:58plotted their own doom
17:59by their
18:00plannings,

18:01operations,

18:07they're busy doing
18:08with technology,
18:10with weapons,
18:10with trickery,
