Half of the holy month of Ramadan
is over. It is
leaving behind its barakah (blessings). Those who took,
took. May we also take
a share from the blessings of the remaining days.
Marhaba Ay Yaran Shah Mardan.
Welcome to Shah Mardan's beloved friends.
May your day and night be good/ blessed.
Those who strive to make their Lord satisfied with them,
those who only want to do that,
won't have any worries. Be careful.
O attendees, Yarani Din (lovers of religion).
Man does not become something
by eating and drinking. No.
If they would become something by eating and drinking,
then animals would have become something (important).
They didn't become humans.
They are not human, aniamls are different from man.
Honor is for man.
Go ahead O Yaran, listen
to Shah Mardan. May our morning
and our day be a good one. May our hearts be filled with joy.
Welcome. Ad-dinu nasiha. (Religion is advice.)
Religion shows people
the good/ beneficial ways. And it closes
the ways of evil.
And that is why, in a community,
or among the people,
or in a society,
if there is no religion, then they are rotten.
We call them a community
but they have become like animals.
Welcome, Ay Yaran Shah Mardan.
MashaAllahu kan, wa malam yasha’ lam yakun.
What Allah wants happens, what He doesn't want doesn't happen.
Marhaba Ay Yaran Shah Mardan.
O Shah Mardan, teach us.
May our day be good,
may our day be festive, may our day
be full of joy, may our day
be full of honor. May we have
no worries today. People say - I have no worries.
You say that but you really have so many worries.
If you want to be free of worries, listen -
ad-dinu nasiha. Religion is advice.
It is the guide that shows you the way to walk.
Which way will you go? You should go from this way.
You should go this way. There are so many signs
on the roads with the names - Yedidalga,
Lefke, Morfu, Lefkosha.
There are signs.
If you don't look at the signs, you will get lost.
You won't be able to go to your destination.
And that is why
religion is a guide to show people
the way. Shah Mardan is giving this expression.
He is describing it to us. Who is Shah Mardan?
He is the cousin of the Master of both universes.
Look to his way. What kind of way is it?
Follow that way and be saved. Can someone who
goes the opposite direction find his destination?
If you go sideways like a crab,
if you don't go straight, you won't find your way.
You need a guide.
Even governments put so many signs,
showing directions and names of cities.
This city is in that direction. And people drive
according to that. These people have been
deprived of the most simple information.
Life is a way/ road. Madad Ya
Shah Mardan.
It is a road.
And those who don't know which way to go,
can never reach the destination they want.
They get lost. What happened? He left home and never came back.
Which way did he go? He went in that direction.
Well, search for him. We couldn't find him, he is lost.
There are so many signs giving directions
so people don't get lost. Turn here...go there.
People can only comprehend this much.
Which direction is our life's journey?
No one is asking that.
Where are you going, O person.
Which way are you going?
They asked Nasruddin Hoja -
Where are you going? Why are you going there?
He said - I am going to look for a mind.
He said - I am looking for a mind.
Who has a mind? The mind is a jewel.
Don't go and search for jewels
at the store where they sell onions and garlic.
Don't search there, wake up!
O our Lord, You created us for Your servanthood.
We are Your servants. Show us
the servants who will show us the way to You.
Shah Mardan, MashaAllahu kan.
Allahu Akbar wa Lillahi l-hamd. Let's be filled with joy.
O those who are present
and listening to our assembly -
Isma' wa ati'.
Listen and obey.
From where did all the troubles
come to people, Sheikh Mehmed Effendi?
It started when
i'tiqad (faith/belief) ended. The great Prophet Adam
was told to go on this way.
Don't go on any other way.
But the enemy of man turns them around
and brings them to the wrong way.
Why was Prophet Adam taken out of paradise?
Why was he taken out?
Because he went to the wrong way. The right way
is what Allah Almighty said - "Inna sh-shaytana
Lakum 'Aduwun" Surely Satan is an enemy to you
Fa Attakhidhuhu `Aduwaan" so treat him as an enemy (35:6)
Satan represents the force of evil.
They listened to satan and
they were thrown from paradise to this terrible world.
Ta'allamu, learn.
Well, what did you learn? We learned games.
What games? We play ball. What other games?
We play cards in the coffee houses.
What other games? We are having fun in the streets.
What did you learn? Nothing.
What do you have in your pocket? Nothing.
What are you living for? Well, just like
everyone else, we are having fun.
If your answer is - to go out and have fun -
that is not an answer. People were not sent
to this huge world to go around
and do whatever they want.
This is an important matter.
"Kulla Yawmin Huwa Fi Sha'n" (55:29)
The glory of Allah Almighty - every day there is a new manifestation.
You have been shown a direction.
If you don't follow the right way to your destination,
you will be lost.
The people on earth today
have become a lost creation.
They cannot find what they are looking for. They don't know
what they are looking for. Everyone,
everywhere,
people are shouting and yelling
like on Judgement day.
They don't know what they are saying or doing.
When we were small, they used to tell us that -
Sheikh Mehmed Effendi, our mothers and grandmothers -
a time will come when
Dajjal will come out in the streets.
A person will come playing
his musical instruments. Don't you dare
put your heads out of the door or else
you won't be able to come back inside. What will happen?
You will have horns, they would say.
You will grow horns and you won't be able to come back inside.
People now have left their homes as humans
but they cannot find their way back. The whole world
is among the crowd. They don't know where their home is,
or their way or what they are doing.
They have no idea what they are doing or what they should do.
That's what they were saying - don't put your head out the door
or you will grow horns and you won't be able to come back home.
They can't enter their homes. When we were young,
they would tell us this as a story.
A time will come when people will fill the streets
and run around like animals
and shout and yell, and then
they won't find their way home.
And this is the situation of people today.
They don't know what they're searching for and don't understand
what they found, nor do they know what they should do.
Allah Almighty put mankind
on this huge earth.
Did He put them here without a guide?
Don't you have a guide?
Allah Almighty didn't leave us without a guide.
He sent the first guide to earth
who was Prophet Adam.
Allah Almighty informed Prophet Adam -
That is your enemy.
Don't follow them. The Bible,
Torah, Gospels, and last Prophet,
alayhi salatu wa salam,
the Light of the Throne, our Prophet,
informed us. O people, you
lost your guide? You will be left without a guide.
When there is no one looking after you, they will
ride on you untill you collapse. Where did you find that animal?
I found it in the fields walking about. Who does it belong to?
We don't know. Who does it belong to now? It is mine now.
I ride it and go around. This is the situation
of today. Because everyone
is saying - we are free.
We will do whatever we want.
If you want to do whatever you want, go to the WC.
Don't do it outside. These people are doing
everything outside that they should be doing in the WC.
They made the whole world full of waste. Satan says -
when you need to, do your waste right there on the floor.
What has dunya become? Dunya become a WC.
It's okay, go ahead.
In the past,
there were horse carriages.
They had them in Lefkosha in the past.
They would wait for customers.
The horse carriages
would take people from here to there. And the horses
stand there waiting, then what happens? It must relieve itself.
So it does its waste here and there.
Does it feel embarrassed? No it is not shy.
Al haya'u min al-iman. This is a hadith.
The Prophet of last days,
Allah's Beloved,
he is informing us - "Al haya'u min al-iman"
To feel shy is from faith. A person without shame
has no faith. A person without Adab (manners)
is not a person, he is an animal. They make their waste
wherever they are standing. And now,
the whole world is full of billions of people.
And none of them follow any rules.
They make their waste right where they stand and make that place
dirty and filthy. Don't do that.
Well, you don't do it either, they say, because everyone is doing it.
It isn't enough at home so they go out
and make waste on the streets. The streets became a WC.
Al haya'u min al-iman. What a beautiful teaching.
The teaching of our Prophet alayhi afdalu salat
wa atammu taslim.
To be shy is from iman (faith).
Those who are not shy have no iman.
Who will you be shy from?
Be shy from your Creator. Be shy from Allah.
Don't do shameless things, it will turn you into an animal.
And satan's desire is to make you animals.
And they have become animals now.
All the people in the world are yelling in the streets.
Millions of people.
After they leave, those streets
become a WC.
There are no clean streets left. What can they do?
They make waste wherever they go.
This is not humanity.
Satan's whole effort
and work is to make
people forget their humanity. Allah Allah.
O great and honorable man,
why are you following those who are trying to make you forget your honor?
They say - there is democracy O Sheikh. Democracy
is what is making you like animals.
They have become without any shame or any mind.
They do every dirty, cursed thing,
then they say they are free. If you're free, go into the forest.
The bears in the forest are free too. There cannot be
free people like you in the cities.
There are rules and regulations in the cities.
You cannot do whatever you want in the city. If they
want to make waste in the middle of the city, the municipality
will catch them and take them to court. "This man
is crazy". What did he do? He went out into the public square
and made his waste. Those who do whatever they want
are animals. Man doesn't do that.
Mankind has - "al-haya'u min al-iman".
The people of today are doing
every dirty thing in the streets.
There is every dirtiness, my son.
"We want democracy". Well, go and find your democracy.
Where does democracy take you?
It will take you to the WC.
All people now are saying "Democracy".
What did democracy give to you? It gave us freedom.
What are you doing? We are doing our small waste
and our big waste wherever we want. We are enjoying
and burning. Who has the right to burn?
What is this burning about?
This is the action that
attracts the most Divine Anger, Sheikh Mehmed Effendi.
It is said - don't play with fire.
Fire is ony by My order,
it cannot be from anyone else's order. If you disobey
My order, there will be fire everywhere,
and I will burn you. And they are being burned now.
Modern life.
Modern world.
What is the the modern lifestyle?
Modern lifestyle gives us
the right to be free.
Well, then come and make your waste
on someone else's head.
Let him be covered in filth. Well, what can we do?
You can't object. How nice,
everyone has freedom. Allah Allah!
Until they make waste on your head, it's called freedom.
How? This is how these people have become.
They can't tell their head from their feet.
They put each other in the place of animals
and they are fighting. This is how they were raised.
Democracy. Demos means afrit (devilish).
Cracy means rule.
A time will come when people
will be servants of satan.
They will make such a government that there cannot be any government
other than that in the world. It must be democracy. Democracy
is something they put in the garbage and then took out.
Is democracy filling their stomachs? No it isn't.
Is it protecting their honor? No it isn't.
Is it giving them what they want? No it isn't.
It is protecting their humanity? Of course not.
Then what is the benefit?
Is it filling your pockets with money?
They say - we don't even see that in our dreams.
We are searching in the streets. What are you searching for?
They say - we are searching for democracy. All the commotion
everywhere is because they say - we want democracy,
democratic rule.
That means, they want an open platform
for people to be able to do whatever they want.
We will come against this. We will
destroy satan's sultanate of crazy ones
who teache people every dirtiness.
We will destroy it. This is the order
coming from heavens to all prophets. We have that order also.
Islam will destroy all badness,
clean all dirtiness, and teach everyone
their limits. That is why this order came.
If not, you are animals, you will not be accountable.
It is said - be clean. "An-nadhafatu min al-iman".
Cleanliness is from iman (faith). Be clean.
Be gentle and with Adab (good manners).
This is cleanliness/ purity. Those people
who are like animals, covered in filth,
wherever they go they do animal things.
Wherever they go they break the doors,
they break windows and destroy shops.
They destroy markets and bazaars,
and on top of that they set things on fire.
Well, is this your democracy? May it blow up on your heads.
Did these shameful things exist during the time of the Sultan? No.
What have you done now? You put people in the place of
animals and let them free to do whatever they want.
They say - we have democracy. Then go and live inside
the waste of democracy. And you see, they're not able to live like that.
They will punish each other with what they deserve.
The bad ones will destroy bad ones. And the good ones,
there is no need (for punishment).
Bad ones will destroy bad ones, my son.
They will take each other and
throw them in the WC.
Go ahead O Shah Mardan, your Yaran
admire your sayings. How nicely he is explaining.
Is there anyone who understands? If they don't understand, leave them.
They will suffer the consequences.
The only thing that protects
people's honor is Allah's Shari'ah (Divine Law).
Other than that is satan's waste.
Don't follow them. They used to tell us when we left the house:
A time will come when people will gather outside, and
if you put your head out to see what is happening,
when you want to return home,you won't be able to enter or find your way.
We will have horns on our head and won't be able to enter the house.
And now all these people are not able to enter their homes.
Everyone is out in the streets. What are you searching for?
They don't know the answer. What are you searching for in the streets?
All people are outside. What are you doing?
We don't know what we are doing. We can do anything.
In the name of democracy we burn, destroy, break,
and kill. In whose name? In the name of democracy.
Allah who created you, did He create you for this?
O shameless ones!
Where are the scholars to tell them.
Where are the priests?
Where are the priests? They are sitting
in churches as big as palaces. That has no value.
Are they able to bring people back within the boundaries of humanity?
Come, let me see you do it. By wearing white dresses
and doing like this and that?
People won't recognize you.
What happened? The whole world
has become the laughingstock of satan.
It isn't finished, we have to settle this.
What will you settle? We must settle this matter.
Because these ones are saying "Democracy"
and those ones are saying "Aristocracy". We will give
the sultanate to democracy only. We will give it to them.
Whatever you do, we will also join you.
They will tell us to be animals,
and we will be animals. What kind of animal? They will tell us to bray -
Eeaaw. What is that? What have you become?
This is the freedom that democracy has given us.
They tell people to bray, and the people in the bottom start to bray.
We are braying like donkeys in the streets.
It isn't suitable according to man's discipline or Adab
to yell in the streets. It isn't befitting of man's honor.
You must know and teach man's honor.
O our Lord, You are Subhan,
You are Sultan. Don't go outside the door.
If you put your head out... they used to tell me as a child
you won't be able to come back inside; horns will grow
on your head and you won't be able to return home.
This is what they taught us when we were young.
It was a training, Sheikh Mehmed Effendi.
Who knows this now? A small child
shouts and yells in the street.
They will pinch each other, they will
make waste on each other. This is democracy.
Come to Shari'ah. Come to the clean way.
No, we can't. We can't - they are saying.
This world has now become our stable.
We destroyed palaces and took control of the stables.
We are like the animals in the stable.
We don't acknowledge palaces. What have you become?
We became like the animals in the stable.
We are shouting and yelling. We think that
by yelling and shouting they will give us our rights.
They won't be given. You will lose it. You won't be able to find it.
Allah sent the Shari'ah (Divine Law).
Those who don't keep Shari'ah will be disgraced.
O our Lord, make us from those who
keep Your orders, who follow the shari'ah with
highest respect. Give us strength,Ya Rabbi.
Send us a shepherd who will lead these animals, Ya Rabbi.
Send us the holy ones who will
teach people their humanity, Ya Rabbi.
Save us from the evil of these people, Ya Rabbi.
Young and old, all people are under the orders of satan.
O our Lord, that is why
they would say that those who go out into the streets won't return.
Why? Because they say they will grow horns. Don't go out.
Those who go out to see what is happening will have horns
on their heads and won't be able to come back inside.
Look, how nice.
This is what we used to hear in the past,
Sheikh Mehmed Effendi. It is all happening now.
This is the news from heavens. They don't
respect prophets, they are running after satan.
May Allah protect us from being one of those foolish ones
who run after satan.
May Allah make us to be with
those who follow the Glorious Prophet's
Shari'ah; those who obey the pure Shariah;
those who follow the way
of Allah's beloved servants. Go ahead O Shah Mardan.
Go ahead, your words are jewels and gold.
Your Yaran adore you. Wa salamu alaykum
ya 'ibad Allah. May Allah
protect us from the trials of the Last Days. Fatiha.
