..Are going to be suitable for our bodies.
Therefore we must try to run after natural medicines.
Because Allah Almighty just crated everything with some
benefits. Without benefit, you can't find anything.
"Rabbana Ma Khalaqta Hadha Batilaan Subhanaka Faqina `Adhaba An-Nari"(3:191)
That means: "O our Lord.."
"Hadha" showing everything.
"Hadha, hadha, hadha..." Everything coming under that one word.
"O My Lord, You created this for something.
You created this for something else. Then You created this..."
We are not in need to use artificial medicines.
For a short while may
people thinking that "it is good for me". Really it is not good for them.
Therefore what are we saying? As much as scientists
people, they are making countless
medicines under countless names,
artificial medicines under artificial names.
Yes!
I am sorry to say that, a person who believes in God to say "this is not good
and this is good". No! But you must look after everything.
And our honoured guests, they are Ahlul Kitaab- People of the Book.
They are believing in Old Testament & New Testament. In it,
Where did we put it? (New Testament).
S.Y. Masha Allah. Is it in French?
M. It is News Testament. If you like to keep, keep it.
S.Y. I will keep it, insha Allah.
M. Yes, good. Letters are so small, I can't read.
Particularly that saying about Prophets that passed away.
And, one of them is Luqman Al Hakeem. What are you saying for it?
S.Y. I am not sure the name. (Lukman the Wise).
"Wa Laqad 'Atayna Luqmana Al-Hikmata 'Ani Ashkur Lillahi Wa Man Yashkuru
Linafsihi Wa Man Kafara Fa'inna Al-Laha Ghaniyun Hamidun" (31:12).
M. Yes, he is a well-known Prophet. And also, well known as a
hakeem-Wise man also.
He was looking & knowing: "this tree good for that.
That plant good for that".
He was knowing. But now people threw it away & running after artificiality.
And people going to be aritifical beings
more than to be a real
representative of mankind. They are saying "no need".
Everything artificial, trying to make everything artificial.
I heard that people are asking artificial ladies (joke).
Because we are going there, saying "on this measure, on this type
you must prepare a beautiful wife for me". Then another one coming.
"O welcome, o our lady.
What is your taste?"
What is that? It is yoghurt, for tasting?
"I like.." In London I was going to Greenwich for a looking.
I saw on street a shop, so many heads-
ladies head. I am asking: "What is that? Is it a museum?"
"No, o shaykh. Where are you coming from?"
"I am coming from Heavens" (joke).
"First time coming?" "No, second time I am coming here.
But I never met such a thing- such a fair".
"O shaykh, these models for ladies- for their head-hair dressings".
"What?"
Anyone coming in, we are putting these shapes, or models
and she may say: "I like this one for my hair"
Yusuf Islam very serious person, never smiling. Laughing now, very happy.
S.Y. Alhamdulillah. M. Yes.
Asking people to find such a
factory?
To go in it & to say: "I like on this model, a lady".
And, old ones coming: "I like such a beautiful husband".
People so artificiality, running from east to west, from west to east.
Never using
natural thing, they are taking it away.
Taking, throwing away. Never using. Using this, such a things. Therefore
a person, when going to be ill asking first to go...
"Where going?" "O my darling, I am going to Harley Street".
"For what?" "I am in need for a check up &
after check up, I am listening to my doctor's
description. I hope that my hair
grows once again, as it was before.
English people, they are very serious ones.
Therefore I am speaking serious subjects for them
but they can't be able to control themselves.
And they are making.. (laughing loud).
Welcome to you. What we should do?
S.Y. Alhamdulillah, we are very happy to see you.
M. Never coming to me, running after new models. S.Y. No Shaykh.
Mawlana sings...
Our honourable guest is famous & very serious singer through East & West
for Islamic sings, or songs, or singing: Yusuf Islam.
Therefore I am trying to make as he was singing, I am singing also.
And he is younger than me about 5 years. Welcome to you.
S.Y. Shall I sing a song for Shaykh Nazim? M. Yes.
S.Y. God is the Light.
It is in English. M. No, in the language of jinns (joke).
Welcome. S.Y. We are now singing. I am going around the world,doing songs.
We just did in Germany, Austria, Paris, Rotterdam,
Brussels, Sweeden. And before that we did Australia.
M. Masha Allah. S.Y. Masha Allah, very strong feelings.
Very strong feelings for, you know, coming back.
M. Thousands people, through our brother Shaykh Yusuf Islam
they find their ways to Allah Almighty. W. In Australia, when he did the show
a husband & wife became Muslim.
Last year, after the show they took shahada.
M. Very good. Allah rewards him. S.Y. Make dua for us.
M. Everyday you must cut one sheep & eat
to be famous. I am looking, he is coming like this (thin).
You must be .. You never looking how Saudi people are..
W. No good. M. Yes, sir.
S.N. I can't believe you are Irish. S.Y. No, she is Irish.
He is my cousin. My father's brother & his father.
From Paphos, Tala. Just up in the mountain
above Paphos. Paphos there,Tala here.
Just looking down Paphos. M. In Cyprus? Where?
S.Y. Near Paphos.. M. Speaking in Greek..
Most beautiful part of our island is that side,
Paphos. With their forests, with their
waters, their fruits, even people
more clever always, from that side.
S.Y. I think too many English people. M. No mind..(joke).
M. Lambro, you know what it is?
You don't know it. Lambro,
when our farmers...
crows always coming...
Particularly.. (speaking in Greek)
scarecrow..
He knows, they know.
Now I lost, I forget..
I forget, you are 10 years younger than me.
We lost it. Also happy people here,
at the time of British Colony rulership.
Now, coming from there some fanatic people.
Coming from our side, some other fanatic people. Making this
beautiful island and peaceful island
and a holy island also. Here, there is
Saint Barnabas? That he was one of the
the disciples of Sayyidina Isa.
Have you visited (his tomb)? You may visit.
From Famagusta, perhaps 15 minutes.
The monastery, that he was buried there also.
Always I am, when I am strong enough I am visiting him. And,
his spiritual power is catching me. Catching me, saying:
"Shaykh Nazim, come to me". I am going, visiting him and he is underground-
his tomb. Yes. His Monastery is so..
Saint Barnabas and
Apostolos Andreas, both of them are disciples of Jesus Christ (pboh).
S.Y. Buried in the same place? M. No, it is a tomb.
One is St Barnabas, one area and Apostolos Andreas is in..
near Karpaz I think, right at the tip.
M. But the spirituality through St Barnabas
is much more from than that Apostolos Andreas.
Serenity..I was always passing, and he was saying "come to me".
Very rarely I am passing that way. He is calling and I am going down.
Because like this distance, his tomb is under earth.
Allah bless him.
St. Barnabas is the Bible..
The archbishop .. S.Y. That discovered the grave. He was given the
purple ink. M. Yes, you never visited? S.Y. I did.
Once. Salamis, is it the name of the town close to it?
So, I have been down. Down and on the right-St Barnabas.
M. It is Barnabas,
independent building for him.
And behind it, monastery. And so many
arches? Not arch.
drawings in it.
You never went in it? That archbishop was dreaming.
When he was sleeping, St Barnabas
saying to him: "I am buried under that olive tree.
Open my grave and keep it. And he was making
siesta. He was sleeping and
seeing this vision.
Vision, yes. Quickly awakening and sending his
labor, farmers quickly:
"Open that place." They are opening and they are finding St Barnabas
like this- never changed his body.
Perhaps after 1000 years, never changed. And in
his chest was apostle-
His Bible.
Like this, opening. Taking that
Bible, archibishop of Cyprus and going to
Byzantium Emperor.
And giving to him. And Byzantium Emperor dressing him
as he was dressed- a majestic (dress).
Accepting this
and giving an honour
to the Church of Cyprus,
that archbishop may sign with red ink.
No anyone else can sign with red ink.
It is only for emperors. Just granted this honour only Church of Cyprus.
But I am saying, it is on walls just..
(drawings in the monastery walls that describing this story)
All the story. Therefore I am asking from my brother, Shaykh Yusuf,
to go, to see, and to take photographs.
Very good, holy place!
S.Y. Is it on this side? S.N. Yes, it is close to Famagusta.
There is a new way, just passing through it.
Old, 2000 years. He is just
as he was buried. Never changing his body.
They may quickly go, it is easy. From Larnaca coming,
through Nicosia, they should find it in one hour.
Yes sir, I am happy with you. But I am keeping you too much.
We have place for eating, and drinking and sleeping and dancing.
S.Y. Divine dancing. M. What we shall do? This
details very few people knowing. Very few.
He (jwa) knows.
S.Y. I wrote a song for children, called "I look, I see".
M. I am also a children.
S.N. We must keep S.Yusuf for Friday Hadra.
If our guests are happy to stay, we have rooms.
We have eating also, for Allah. It is not a heaviness on me.
What Allah giving me, we are eating & drinking.
Archbishop Nicoforos, he invited me. I was there one day.
We like each other. Now, our guests
as they like- may stay, welcome. If asking
to look around, they are also free.
And, you may collect from our oranges and lemons.
To all of them, as a small gift, for coming up to here.
S.N. They brough with them two boxes of gifts from the other side.
M. Two boxes? You may put 3 boxes.
What we shall do? Thank you sir, Allah Allah.
