As-salamu alaikum, Ay yaran Shah Mardan. Ay Sultan.
Every lover of yours
admires you too.
Your perfection is admired. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Let's say!
May we find strength, may we find majesty!
Marhaba, ya Shah Mardan,
Ay yaran Shah Mardan, please go on!
Rabbi qawwi bi ta'atika bi ridwanika.
O our Lord, give us strength
for our worship of You. Give us love and ardour. Ask love and ardour
from their Owner. It is not straw we ask for.
Whoever wants straw, must go to the barn.
We ask for Divine jewels from Shah Mardan!
From the generous grants of our Lord,
we want precious words. He will let Shah Mardan speak.
Rabbi qawwi dha'fi fi ridak. O Lord, we are weak!
Qawwi dha'fana fi ridak.
May You strengthen us with Your pleasure (rida) O Lord!
Please go on, O Shah Mardan!
O the rider who is loved by the Lord,
the rider who mounts the lion,
the rider who prevails over the Earth and the Heavens,
Shah Mardan, please go on.
We are the weak ones of the ummah.
We ask for strength.
We don't ask for straw, we want jewels.
Please go on Shah Mardan.
Ay yaran Shah Mardan, the friends of Allah's Lion!
May you attend! How beautiful
it is to be the friends of Shah Mardan. How beautiful, how honourable!
May Shah Mardan reach us
with his favour.
O Lord, how beautiful it is to please You!
How beautiful, how great an honour it is!
What an honour, to please our Creator!
May Allah be pleased with us.
What an honour!
Janabul Haqq, Jalla wa 'Aala is saying in His eternal words:
Radiyallahu anhum wa radu anhu. (5:119)
O Shah Mardan, you are
radiyallahu anhum wa radu anhu.
Allah is pleased with them. Radiyallahu anhum,
those who
are on the way of the Beloved one of Allah, the Glorious Prophet,
radiyallahu anhum. Allah is pleased with them, Jalla Jalaluhu.
Wa radu anhu, they too, are pleased and happy with
their Lord, Janabul Mawla. What pure companions they are!
Please O Shah Mardan, show us the ways
to Rabbul Izzat's rida (pleasure)
as, radiyallahu anhum, Allah is pleased with them.
Wa radu anhu, they too are pleased with their Lord. What a great honour!
O Lord, don't deprive us of that honour, for the sake of Your Habib.
Ay yaran Shah Mardan,
the Lion with whom Rabbul Izzat is pleased, Allah is pleased with you.
Wa radu anh, they too are pleased with their Lord. What an honour!
Learn! Learn!
Learn the way of honour, don't forget the way of honour!
The way of honour of those
on the way of: 'Allah is pleased with them'.
They deserve the rida (pleasure) of Allah.
And they too are pleased with their Lord, how nice!
Ta'allamu-l 'ilm. He is saying to learn.
O our Shah Mardan, we want to learn.
Your yaran, your friends want to know, to find and to be on that way.
The old people would say: Don't start as sour plums
and finish as unripe grapes. (don't start unripe and end unripe)
Learn to live in the perfection of adab
so that you may be adorned with
Shah Mardan's robe of excellence and
noble pleasure. Don't be mouldy and dowdy!
We have the ability. Janab Allah
didn't send us without ability. We have the capital and the ability.
We have the capital which descends from the Heavens.
Try to increase your capital.
Don't remain a young child! A child grows up, day by day.
Do not sleep! A young child,
an infant grows day by day.
This physical being unfolds continually.
We have been dressed with the Divine Robe of Rida
by Divine Grant.
Every day we are being adorned. Try to improve it!
Don't fall into the dirt of Dunya!
"Innama 'l mushrikuna najasun." (9:28)
Whoever allows satan in, whoever forgets Allah, is dirty.
They are unclean. Be clean! Be clean
because your final destination, the Divine Presence, requires cleanliness.
O Lord, may You grant us that cleanliness.
satan wants to make man dirty, it throws dirt on man.
Reject its filth! Keep clean!
Allah may You keep us clean, ya Rabbi! Ay Shah Mardan,
Ay Lion of Allah! Show us the origin of the way.
Let's say it! It begins with adab (good manners). It is adab.
Doors are not opened for ill-mannered ones!
Doors are not opened for dirty ones!
"Addabani Rabbi," said our Holy Prophet,
My Lord gave me adab (good manners).
The adab my Lord taught me is of the highest level.
You, as my ummah, pursue it, ask for the most high rank!
Don't be after the filth of Dunya! Open up!
Once upon a time there were 40 thieves. (Ali Baba & the 40 thieves).
Whatever they collected, they amassed in a shelter (a cave).
The Caliph of that time asked: "Who are they? What do they collect?"
"Where do they go and what do they pile up?"
The 40 thieves came, they said:
"Open the door that was opened to us before!"
"Open, by the order of Allah Jalla Jalaluhu, open".
They would say this, the door would open and they would enter.
Old tales are full of lessons, my son!
Learn these lessons! Allahu Akbar!
For whom was that door opened?
They were collecting the garbage of Dunya and hiding it in a cave.
Neither did they benefit, nor did anyone else.
The garbage collectors of this world did not rise in honour,
nor did their greed diminish.
Ask with zeal!
Let your ambition be for the treasures of Rabbul Izzat!
Don't run to collect the rubbish of Dunya!
It doesn't suit your honour! Ya ayyuhal insan,
"Ya ayyuhal-insanu innaka kadihun
'ila Rabbika kadhan fa mulaqih." (84:6) O Man,
serve your Lord in a manner that pleases Him.
What else could you want beyond your Lord's pleasure?
Do you want the treasures of Ali Baba?
A story! Your ambition should be to seek the Presence of Rabbul Izzat!
Rijal'Allah, Rijal'Allah awnuna bi fadliLlah.
Rijal'Allah. Please go on Shah Mardan! The Knight, Shah Mardan!
Go to the door of the Sultan!
Free yourselves from collecting the filth of Dunya!
Ta'addabu. Learn adab, good manners!
To know our Lord, to be servants to our Lord -
This is the teaching. If you don't do this, you
have no value. Dirt, dirt. You will get dirty. Don't be dirty!
Be clean! "Innaka kadihun 'ila Rabbika kadhan fa mulaqih."
You must strive and exert yourself to reach that rank.
satan wants to hurl you into the filth of Dunya.
Leave that filth which satan is calling you to, the WC.
Angels are calling you to the Divine Presence.
O People, how beautifully you are created.
Janab Allah created the human being beautiful.
Others are not created as beautiful as the human being.
What a beauty, what an honour, He gave to human beings!
Shame on them, that they can't appreciate that honour
and oppose each other with 'you versus me'.
They run after the filth of this evil world.
Pity! Please go on Shah Mardan! O Lion of Allah!
Man ashara qawman, la 'arba'ina yawman, sara minhum.
He who mingles among a folk 40 days, becomes like them.
He, who befriends a lion, becomes at last, a lion.
One who accompanies a pig, becomes a pig.
Please go on Shah Mardan. Dunya is the lowest level.
Dunya is the lowest floor. It doesn't suit you, O Honourable Man, he says,
it doesn't suit you to run after dirt. Learn adab.
Keep your Creator's servanthood. Keep that honour in order
to achieve greater honour. Mankind nowadays
looks for honour by running after empty things.
Prime minister, minister, governor,
bey, pasha. No value! Pity!
What is honourable? What gives honour to man? They don't know!
"Ya ayyuhal-insanu innaka kadihun
'ila Rabbika kadhan fa mulaqih."
You must strive to rejoin/reunite with your Lord.
Allah didn't create you for Dunya! Hasha.
Allah created you with an honour you can't imagine.
You can't imagine! Rabbul Izzat, Allah Jalla Jalaluhu,
- Shah Mardan is saying about Him.
How beautiful is the love and advice of Shah Mardan
to his friends. We wish one is not expelled from that door.
Don't be expelled! Don't be expelled from the Sultan's door.
Strive, exert yourself so that the door of the Sultan opens for you!
What is your value unless the door of the Sultan opens for you?
" 'innaka kadihun 'ila Rabbika kadhan fa mulaqih."
Strive that the door of the Sultan should open for you!
Chase after Shah Mardan as he attends
the door of Janab Rabbul Izzat's Presence.
You go there too, go with him. Walk with good ones.
Accompany a fox, you become a fox. Accompany a wolf, you become a wolf.
Accompany a snake, you become a snake. Accompany satan, you become a satan.
Janab Allah didn't create you to become a satan.
Ay yaran Shah Mardan.
How eloquently Shah Mardan speaks.
One who is with a Sultan becomes a Sultan.
One who is with satan, becomes a satan. Take this advice!
This adab was described and taught by all the Prophets.
Be with the Sultan. Don't be with satan,
so that, please go on Shah Mardan,
should you push one step down firmly,
it may take you from the Earth to the Heavens.
The human being has such a power. This is the power of Sultan.
The power of Sultan, why don't you look for it?
You are wandering through the filth of Dunya.
"Ya ayyuhal-insanu innaka kadihun
'ila Rabbika kadhan fa mulaqih."
O people, you keep making trouble. What do you want? You are striving.
You don't know what you want. What you long for is the Presence of Allah.
Why don't you strive for that?
When there is the door of the Sultan,
why do you choose to be the animals of satan?
Take notice. Know this declaration. Say Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim.
This is the power that will take you to the door of the Heavens:
Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. May Janabul Haqq not let us forget it!
Janabul Haqq doesn't let us, but satan tries hard to make us forget.
Don't be with satan. Be with the Sultan.
Your face will be radiant, your heart enlightened, your honour raised.
O our Lord, our Subhan, our Sultan.
"fasawfa ya'ti Allahu biqawmin yuhibbuhum, wa yuhibbunaHu." (5:54)
Be like them. Janab Allah will send people,
Yuhibbuhum, He loves them; wa yuhibbunaHu, they love Him.
Why don't you become like them?
Does Allah love troublemakers, destroyers of the environment?
Shame! Where is your religion? Where is your faith?
There is no bigger sin than to destroy the Creation of Allah!
They will be expelled from the Divine door!
There will come a people who Allah will dress with mightiness.
They will carry the banner of Islam. "YuhibbunaHu".
Allah Jalla Jalaluhu loves those people.
They love their Lord too. Where are these servants now?
Where are they hidden? Those visible on stage are oppressors,
those seen are satan worshippers.
Where are the ones making sajdah to Rabbul Izzat,
the ones keeping His Orders?
"Biqawmin yuhibbuhum, wa yuhibbunaHu."
When they come to a position where they can't hold Islam,
the Arab people, Allah will then send a people
who will raise the banner of Islam. For a thousand years,
the servants of Allah, the Ottomans, carried the banner of the Prophet.
Today that banner is stored and hidden. No one knows where it is.
Allahu Allah Allahu Rabbi Allahu Allah ma li siwa Hu.
O our Lord! Look, He says, "I will send a people",
where you wasted time and chances.
For a thousand years the Ottomans
carried the banner of Islam and of the Prophet.
They still possess the banner and, the right.
Ayyuhal Arab and ayyuhal Muslimin, Arabs and Persians!
Know that He has given the banner of Islam to a nation/people
"fasawfa ya'ti Allahu biqawmin yuhibbuhum, wa yuhibbunaHu."
Janabul Haqq will send a people,
those whom Allah loves and, they too love their Lord.
Where are you? May you come O Holy Ones!
They raised the banner of Islam for a thousand years.
The time is near, Bi'iznillah!
The banner of the Prophet is coming, this is the Great Sha'ban.
It is not empty. The oppressors have wasted their chances.
A Sultan is coming who will finish them.
May Allah let us be with that Sultan. Fatiha.
