There has never been anyone who opened his hands (for help)
and returned from the Sultan's door empty-handed.
Sahhih 'akidataka- Correct your belief.
Welcome to you, O yaran Shah Mardan. O holy one!
May you teach us, we came to be taught by you.
If you hit the right side of an untrained donkey, it goes left.
If you hit its left side, it goes right. It is not trained.
There should be a training.
Madad Ya Rijal Allah, madad Ya Shah Mardan.
O yaran Shah Mardan.
May we be beautiful. May we be sweet.
May we be majestic. They don't use a mangy donkey at the door of the Sultan-
Sultan uses a Kuhaylan (Arabian horse).
Our Janab-i Mawla is the source of Lutf-ul Karam (Generous Grants)
and we ask to be majestic, not miskeen (lazy & helpless).
We are at the door of such a Sultan that being miskeen is not suitable,
being majestic is suitable. One should know this.
One should learn this. Yes,the Sultan does not use a skinny horse at his door.
He has a kuhaylan that scares the lions-
the Sultan- that even a lion is afraid from it.
Who can't scare shaytan is in the category of trash.
Madad Ya RijalAllah, madad Ya Shah Mardan.
Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Your yaran are your admirers.
Slowly, Al 'ilmu bi't-ta'allum.
Knowledge is gained day by day, no one can learn in one day all at once.
Bi't ta'allum- wa l-hilmu bi't ta'allum. Is it not like this?
Come in, welcome to you
the ahbab of Shah Mardan-
who are filled with the muhabbat/ love of Shah Mardan,
who ask Nur from Shah Mardan- welcome.
You came to such a door that has no equal, no like.
Go ahead O Shah Mardan.
We are weak servants.
'Abiduka dhu'afa, qawwi dha'fana bi Quwwatika Ya Rabb.
We are weak servants. "Wa Khuliqa Al-'Insanu Da'ifaan" (4:28).
Is it not a Verse? Man was created weak.
Qawwi dha'fana fi Ridak! O our Lord, may You remove our weakness.
O Shah Mardan, may our weakness be lifted off us.
May we be like the kuhaylan of the Sultan, may we not be in the category
of miskeen donkeys that go and after a while fall down.
May we be a kuhaylan that is worthy of the Sultan. Masha Allah.
Go ahead O Shah Mardan.
May you go ahead and explain to us, so that we understand.
Yu'allimuhum, ta'allam wa 'allim.
Even if you don't know, learn and teach.
What should you learn? Well, what did we learn? To plow a field.
What did we learn? To shepherd. What did we learn? To be a doorman.
There are 360 crafts in dunya.
Who doesn't believe it can count, right S. Mehmet Effendi?
There are all kinds of talents. What is the best of talents?
Go ahead O Shah Mardan, your yaran are your admirers.
Let them hear it. The best of the talents is adab.
No one has managed to draw close to his Lord by taking a way other than adab.
Shah-i Jehan- our Master, the Sultan (sas) said: "Addabani Rabbi-
My Lord taught me adab". And it continues- "Wa qarrabani-
and brought me close - nearness to Allah, my Lord taught me this (Adab).
I didn't learn it from anyone else. Addabani Rabbi-
He taught me the adab for being close to His Essence/Dhat-u Ajalli 'Ala".
It is the assembly of Shah Mardan's lovers-
no one has come empty and returned empty from that assembly.
Everyone has received a share. May we take a share too. Khudh naseebak.
Allahumma qawwi dha'fi fi Ridak.
We are weak our Lord. There are lions of Yours who can remove our weakness.
There are holy servants of Yours who can teach us adab.
Each adab is a level
and there is no end to the levels.
Who are in the category of donkeys continue with their donkey-ness.
They don't ask to be a horse, don't ask to be a Man either.
"My situation is good like this, I am comfortable" they say.
They carry burdens and they bray too.
They scared even the lion when they brayed:"What a majestic animal is this?"
it scared the lion like this. You see?
Well, the lion has never heard a voice like that in its life,
it got astonished: "What a majestic creature is this
that it even scared me".
Don't bray like the braying of donkeys. No, be like the roaring of lions.
Go ahead O Shah Mardan.
Allahu Dhu-l Jalal, Al-Yazdan didn't create you to be a donkey.
Allah Almighty didn't create you as a beast of burden-know this, learn this.
Al Khaliqu-l Yazdan Allah Almighty didn't create you
to be the donkey of dunya.
Allah Almighty didn't create you, saying
"carry the burden that I load you down in dunya".
Allah Almighty didn't make you the animal of dunya. Don't forget.
But what did shaytan turn the people into?
May it be far from us, it turned the people into the animals of dunya.
Shaytan made the people animals of dunya.
And Man - "Wa Khuliqa Al-'Insanu Da'ifaan"-
was created weak. The meaning of weak is gentle-
he is created gentle. He is not created for the burdens donkeys carry.
Dunya- dunya is the
burden of shaytan. It looks for someone "who should I load up?"
It wants to load it onto Man who is gentle.
Man is not a porter.
"Wa Humilati Al-'Ardu Wa Al-Jibalu" (69:14). Is it a Holy Verse?
"Humilat", bore the burden
but that burden is a burden that gives honour.
And Man is honoured with such an honour that no one can be above that honour.
Allah Almighty placed His Amanat/Trust on him.
Man bore the Amanat that neither Heavens nor Earths could bear.
It was offered to the mountains & stones "Who will bear this Amanat?"
They said "O Lord, forgive us.
Forgive us, we can't do it".
Who did it? Who did it, who took that burden?
"Wa Hamalaha l-'Insanu" (33:72). Man bore it.
Man didn't take the Amanat for carrying fertilizer.
There is such an honour for Man, that
mountains, stones are offered to bear it
but the mountains, stones said "We can't accept it, we can't bear it".
O Man, know your honour.
Come in O seekers of Shah Mardan,
who want to take faydh/benefit from him - listen.
Know your honour. If Man knew his honour, it would be peaceful & quiet
on earth. If Man knew his honour no one would insult one another,
no one would oppress one another, no one would look down on another.
This is the honour of Man. Get used to this O those
who wander around claiming to be Men but are not aware of humanity.
Today's humanity is not aware of humanity.
The Bible, Torah, Zabur and the Holy Quran
are sent to the people to teach them the level of humanity.
"Wa Ma 'Allamnahu sh-***'ra" (36:69). "We didn't teach him poetry".
"Wa 'Allamnahu Min Ladunna 'Ilmaan" (18:65).
We granted him a knowledge from Ladun/from Us.
Our Master, the Sultan of the Prophets- Salawatullahi wa salamu alaik-
knew his mission.
And when he knew his mission, he learned what was necessary for him
to fulfill that mission. "Addabani Rabbi.
My Lord taught me adab". Allah Almighty taught him how he should behave.
Allah Almighty taught the Master of Creation (sas).
"'Allamani Rabbi" (12:37).
Addabani Rabbi fa'ahsana ta'dibi. Go ahead O Shah Mardan. Yes.
Yawmun jadeed, rizqun jadeed.
O Shah Mardan, your knowledge is a jewel.
O people, take from that jewel.
And each Prophet also came with a kind of jewel.
The jewel Prophet Jesus brough is different. The jewel Prophet Moses
brought is different and the jewel Prophet Solomon brought is different.
What is what Prophet Solomon brought?
Innahu min Sulaymana wa innahu Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. (27:30)
The great Nabi, Prophet Solomon, from whose azamat/ greatness
Heavens & earth would tremble.
he also brought- he brought an amanat/ trust to mankind.
"Innahu min Sulaymana wa innahu Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim".
There is an amanat, there is a jewel that each Prophet brought
to make Men draw near to his Lord.
To draw near to his Lord-
this is the goal of the Men, to gain nearness to Allah.
We want nearness to Allah. What else should we want?
There is nothing for us with the Kings of this time.
For us, a nearness-
such a nearness that it happens,its tahqiq/reality happens one night a year.
On one night a year, how does a servant draw near to Allah Almighty?
Its definition comes- the Laylatu-l Qadr.
On the Laylatu-l Qadr, when that manifestation takes place,
everything is in sajda. O Lord, may You not deprive us of that sajda.
May we make sajda for You our Lord. May we dive into Your Nur O Lord.
Grant us strength O Lord and we will raise Your banners.
We will destroy the banners of the enemy of mankind.
We acknowledge the flag of azamat the Prophet of the end of times brought
and we run to be under it. Sahibu-l Liwa Al Hamd-
the flag of Praise belongs to our Prophet (sas).
In dunya and in akhirah also his flag will be called, raised
and all Prophets will run to be under it.
May Allah grant us honour & in dunya also may we be under that Liwa Al-Hamd
which the Glorious Prophet (sas) carries.
May we be dressed with the level of the honour of humanity.
Leave the fighting. Leave the savagery.
The beauty and elegance of Man- "Wa la-qad karramna Bani Adam" (17:70).
Don't debase the children of Adam who Allah honoured and exalted.
This is in the Bible, in Torah, in Zabur too; it is in all the books.
Prophet Adam was crowned with this crown of happiness,
with this crown of honour in Paradise. Try to keep it.
All of us have it but shaytan drives people in the opposite way.
O our Lord, You have all these fresh and beautiful ways.
It is tonight which is the Laylatu-l Qadr, the famous.
It is a manifestation. Once that manifestation is opened,
whatever is there standing, falls down in sajda. Even the ants are in sajda.
Al-Azamatu Lillah, wa l-'Izzatu Lillah, wa l-Jabarut Lillah.
May Allah open it for you. May He open our hearts.
What beauties are there, what beauties are there, what honours are there.
Yes, when that "Innahu min Sulaiman" came, that Bismillah
brought so much to the Queen of Sheba. It is the Bismillah from Sulaiman.
When it is recited upon the order coming from Rabbu-l Izzat
you can't describe or explain the rank that comes with it, S. Mehmet Effendi.
For this, let us say Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim.
Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim.
Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim.
And we gain honour, we gain strength, we gain beauty.
May we not be rejected from the Door of Acceptance of
Rabbul Izzat. What night is it, the Laylatu-l Qadr?
It is equal to "Alfi Shahr/1000 months"-
which month, in which scale, which time is it? We can't define it.
Ma sha’ Allahu kana, wa ma lam yasha’ lam yakun.
Go ahead O Shah Mardan. The arena is all yours.
May you teach and we learn. Tawfiq/success is from Allah Almighty.
Let us say Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim.
Say Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim and march.
If you say it & march, there will be no closed doors left in front of you.
There will be no creature left that does not respect you.
Say Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim and blow on yourself.
They don't teach it because they worship shaytan.
They worship idols, they worship imitated things.
Leave these and make sajda in the Presence of Rabbu-l Izzat
Who created you. Everything is in sajda on the Laylatu-l Qadr.
Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Wa Lillah'il Hamd. Fatiha.
