O yaran Shah Mardan! Come in and
listen, and become an admirer.
Dastur Ya RijalAllah, dastur Ya Shah Mardan.
As-salamu alaikum Ya hadirun, O yaran Shah Mardan-
who Shah Mardan loves & who has the honour of keeping their way.
O servants of Allah! Let us listen- not to us but
to the words of Shah Mardan, the Sultan,
and we take from them so we have give and take.
A person who doesn't give and take when he enters an assembly
is in loss.
A person who goes to the vegetable market buys onions, garlic,
tomatoes, peppers.
Well, this is what he asks for and that is what he buys.
On the other hand, there are the markets that sell jewels,
and their customers are different.
Madad! Call for madad. Nothing succeeds without madad, Son.
You may have a car but if it has no gas what is the benefit of that car?
Allah Almighty granted us such an instrument that it is astonishing.
Our outer appearance is an astonishing appearance.
Insan! Hazrat Insan, Hazrat Adam!
How do you spend your time? Well, they just speak about or do worthless things.
No! It is the most precious thing- What Allah Almighty granted His servant
as the most precious thing is time - you should appreciate the value of time.
Go ahead O Shah Mardan, your yaran are your admirers.
Then let us say and tell in Whose Name we speak-
let us say Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. you should say it.
They will say "Qasbul anlum" - inspite of themselves (Arab expression).
You don't say it? Then He makes you run in the streets like animals.
If you say it, you have ihtiram/ respectability.
We have ihtiram, we are muhtaram/respectable.
The men who are respectable do not run in the streets like animals.
Where are the Muslims? They should understand this. Where are
our scholars who have knowledge to teach these people
such things. What is knowledge for?
Knowledge shows you the way O son. Knowledge guides.
If you don't have knowledge you get stuck where you are.
You get stuck in the wild, in the mountains. Go ahead O Shah Mardan.
Your speach/bayan is so beautiful, it makes who listens to it admire it.
Allah Allah, Allah Allah.
Insan, insan...
Is the creation more valuable or is Man more valuable? It is a question.
Is this world more valuable or is Man more valuable?
Man is the more valuable one. They can't discriminate.
People have really fallen into the animal category.
Is the world more valuable or is Man more valuable?
Well, Allah Almighty said "Be" and the dunya came into existence-
it came out with one Order. But He says "I created the Prophet Adam.
I adorned him. I granted Man such an adornment that
he is respectable-he is a creature that is respectable in My sight".
Insan is Hazrat Insan.
MashaAllahu kan, Allahu Akbar.
The beings on earth are of two categories, Hj Mehmet.
One category is respectable, one category is not.
There are the respectable beings and there are the non-respectable ones.
Which one is the respectable being on earth?
Madad Ya Sultan, O Shah Mardan.
Really it is an important question. What is muhtaram/respactable on earth
and what is not? Is it Man or is it what is other than Man?
One Man is higher than all the treasures of dunya-
his worth and value is much more. "Wa Laqad Karramna Bani 'Adam" (17:70).
Allahu Akbar ul-Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
Our Sultanu-l Awliya taught us for 40 years in his presence-
"Wa Laqad Karramna Bani 'Adam". Children of Adam are mukarram/honoured.
They are not chachuri. Do you understand what chachuri is?
They are the animals that have saddles put on them.
You are not an animal. If you become an animal,
they load you down with burdens. But you are not an animal.
You are a magnificent being who is hasna & mustasna (beautiful & exceptional),
who is molded by the Hands of Power of the Rabbu-l Izzat, the one
on whom He dressed a rutba (rank)- the rank of Caliph.
Shah Mardan Hz constantly tells us this.
For what? People don't know their own value.
People think that they are in existence for only eating and drinking-
"What did you eat, what did you drink, what did you wear?"
Allah Almighty didn't create us for this.
"Wa Libasu t-Taqwa Dhalika Khayrun" (7:26). And the dress of piety is best.
Allah Almighty dressed you with such a dress that
no one can imagine its worth & value.
Then Insan is the Hazrat Insan. Go ahead O Shah Mardan.
Before they used to ask like this: "How are you today, your Hazratlari?",
S. Mehmet Effendi. "How are you, your Hazrat?"
You should address Hz Insan with an adab like this.
Shah Mardan is teaching- "How are you, your Hazratlari?
I may kiss your hand". Say "I may kiss your hand" because
the mustawa/level of Man is Hz Insan. You can't bring anyone of them low.
What brings man low is his dirty ego.
Put it out of the way. Don't put the animal forward.
Don't look to the animal. Look to the one who mounts it.
"Oh, what a beautiful horse!" What is it to us?
The value is not with the horse but with who mounts it.
O mankind, the people got confused & lost themselves!
Go ahead O Shah Mardan, whip these mindless, animalized people!
Who is Man? He is Hazrat Insan. He is in the station of ihtiram/respect.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa Lillahi l-Hamd.
We are granted the Muhr-i Humayun, S. Mehmet Effendi.
What is the Muhr-i Humayun(Royal Seal)? It is Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim.
The children of Adam are granted a ferman/decree. What is their ferman?
It is Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim.
Who has this ferman, who is the sahibu ferman- he is the Sultan.
Who don't know, don't take, don't carry this ferman are animals.
They have no value. What can be their value?
They put on the neck of donkeys
beads and donkeys get happy thinking there is something worthy on their neck.
Before they used to put it on the neck of horses too-
the animals that pulled the carts had it also.
What value does it have? What is on the neck of the animal is a necklace
which is nothing more than imitated stones. What can its value be?
It has no value. But the animal thinks it is a very valuable thing.
It walks shaking its neck and making a jingling sound like this-
there is this necklace on its neck made of imitated stones that is dressed on it
& it gets very happy with it. Especially if there is also a bell under it
making ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling. It says "there is no one higher then me,
there is no one better than me. Look, look at my voice".
When the donkey brayed, the lion got surprised.
"What a creature is this" it said, "what a voice, what a powerful creature".
But really that one is a donkey, and the other is a lion.
Well, if you don't know your lion-ness you fall lower than donkeys.
Man, Subhan Allah, became the laughing stock of shaytan today.
They left their heavenly adornment,
put on from the imitated beads of shaytan and say
"I am this, I am that". What is it that you have?
The Pope went to a country.
They applauded him, kissed his hand & feet. Yes, and then?
What did he give you?
What did he give you? For what did you glorify the Pope?
Did he glorify you too? Did he say "They are the servants of my Lord"
or did he just show himself?
O Allah! May You send us Your holy servants who will show us
the ways of adab Ya Rabbi.
What all the great Prophets taught is "ihtiram/respect".
Ihtiram, ihtiramu n-nas / respect the people.
Just like how you put your ego high, put everyone's ego high.
Go ahead O Shah Mardan. You put yourself high, above everything.
You don't have the right, the authority to bring others low.
You don't have the right, the authority to claim greatness.
Our GrandShaykh Hz used to tell a story.
The Ingush (N.Caucasion group) are arrogant because they are strong,
they see themselves magnificent. One man sat in a coffeeshop-
he wore his calpac/hat like this, his dagger was here & he was sitting
in the coffeeshop with his legs crossed,
not taking anyone as his equal.
An old Ingush scholar,
not a scholar but a reasonable man came to him-
he was the grandfather of the GrandShaykh.
The other one turned like this. He said "O son".
He didn't care about being called "son." "Let me tell you something.
Your dagger is like this, your calpac is like this, your legs are crossed.
You have this grandeur.
I will ask you something". "Ask O grandfather" he said.
"O son, do you not go to the toilet?"
When he asked "Do you not go to the toilet", he straightened himself up.
This is the level your dirty ego will make you reach.
What does he do? If his grandeur is with the dress he wears, with the dagger
in his belt, with the bracelet on her wrist, with this and that-
what did he say? "Do you not go to the toilet?"
When he asked this,that man straightened his calpac & also put his leg down.
Our Grandshaykh Hz would say this and laugh, saying "our Daghestani
people are very arrogant". He destroyed his arrogance.
Now shaytan makes people proud for nothing-
"you are this, you are that. This is the president of such country,
this one is of China, this is of Japan,
this is of the Turks who lost their minds".
Ok, keep stirring, and what is the final result?
And I said "I will make bad dua for their highest ranking official.
When they sit in the parliament, let them have the urge to defecate & not be
able to stay longer in that parliament. This is a matter of disciplining.
I will crash your claim of greatness. I am already appointed for this job-
I am appointed to destroy the empty arrogance shaytan gives to the people.
I don't know any Pope or Pap. I am a weak servant but
they put me among the servants who crush their ego,for this I am calling.
I said "if the Pope claims to be great, he will have the urge to defecate
in the middle of the arena & he will ask "where should I do it?
where should I do? I am pressed".
Do it over yourself. If you have a spiritual power, show it.
Hazrat Insan. You should know, you should know your level.
Go ahead O Shah Mardan. You yaran are your admirers.
How beautifully does he speak. Say! Say Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim!
And may your egoistic pride get crushed.
The egoistic pride corrupted the people. There is nothing with me
but there is a secret of Shah Mardan.
When Shah Mardan mounted Duldul
he rises like this, there is no man to stand against him.
O our Shah Mardan, Masha Allah.
Let us see if they can claim to be great again.
Let us see if they can turn people into animals again.
Insan is Hazrat Insan. He is respected-
They are the servants of Allah, nations of the Habib (sas), they are honoured.
You should treat them according to their honour. If you don't, you will
be made to do it. Because they don't know that they are Hazrat Insan.
If they knew that, they would give everyone their worth.
What is adalat/justice,S.Mehmet Effendi? Adalat is to put the thing in its place.
Is this not what justice is?To put a man in a position who is not worthy of it
this is the law of animals.
Now everyone says "We will make laws, we will make constitutions".
For what? To make ourselves prominent.
Put Morsi...Is his name Morsi? Release and put him among the people.
Those who follow him become more foolish than him.
They should say "There is Allah". Make sajda for Allah Do not seek greatness.
Al-Azamatu LiLlah, wal Jabarut LiLlah, SubhanaHu wa Ta'ala. Qualities for Allah
only.Shah Mardan constantly whips us to discipline this dirty ego of ours-
We should get used to it, learn it, have adab and be worthy of respect.
Everyone can be worthy of it like this. O our Lord!
Send us a Sultan. Send us a Master.
Send us the holy ones who will inform us of who we are.
O yaran of Shah Mardan, understand this.
Then let us say Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim.
Ya Rabbi may You not deprive us of the fadhila/virtue of the Bismillah.
Don't make us deprived of showing respect for it.
The Holy Name of Allah Jalla wa 'Ala- Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim.
Show respect for it & you will be respected.
If you don't? Then He will make you scream in the streets "Scream, shout!".
Everywhere there are meetings, shoutings, screaming- no value.
Man's value is at the level to which he keeps the limits of His Lord.
You don't keep the limits? You have no value.
Who keeps the limits will be muwaqqar, muhtaram, mubajjal, mu'azzam
(dignified,honoured, respected, magnificent).
You didn't keep them? He makes you lower than the four-legged creatures.
How will it happen? That is why I am saying-
if a four-legged animal has the urge to defecate
it doesn't look for a toilet, does it wherever it is.
Is it not like this, Hj Mehmet? There were garutsos before.
What do they call garutso now? Phaeton (a 2-wheeled carriage)
Those animals (hitched to it) would carry the people to here, there.
And sometimes when the horse stood idle
it had the need to urinate, or defecate
it would just do it openly wherever it was.
Ok, can you- Man- be the same as those animals?
Why don't you know your adab? Behave yourself.
Know your humanity. You are not the slave of your ego that you should mount.
SubhanAllah, wa al-Hamdu Lillah.
Wa la ilaha illa Allah, wAllahu Akbar
Allahu Akbar wa lillahi l-Hamd- The adhan, adhan-i Muhammadi
call to prayer is recited five times a day.
Adab! "I sought in the assemblies of wisdom. Knowledge comes last,
only adab, only adab. May Allah send us from His servants who will teach us
the good adab. It is with this that you have value.
When you say "a man with no adab", that one is the same as filth.
A person with adab is accepted in the sight of Allah, accepted
in the presence of His Prophet (sas). He is respected.
Ihtarim nafsak/respect your self. It is a saying of Arabs, isn't it?
Respect your self, make yourself respected.
Because you are mu'azzam. You are mu'azzam (magnificent), mukarram-
you are mukarram/honoured and mu'azzam.
Allahu Dhu-l Jalal dressed you with all the beauty.
What else do you seek? O our great scholar Effendis!
Ishraho- explain!
It is the scholars who make people run in the streets without guidance.
They will suffer the punishment of these people.
O our Lord, send us a Master.
O Shah Mardan, your yaran are your admirers.
They want to learn your way-your beautiful way- O yaran Shah Mardan.
May He (swt) write us from them also. May our power increase.
May our majesty increase. May we open up like the powerful wrestler
who slowly walks into the arena- May we open up in the way of adab.
Fatiha.
