99 Drops From Endless Mercy Oceans (3/25)

n your heart you must continue to do it always. You must try to be like that forever. Don’t make Zikr today and tomorrow and then stop. You must try to keep it forever. I do not see any person stopping eating and drinking, likewise you must not stop your Zikr. Continue making this Zikr regularly and take care of your spiritual life. Do more Zikr, more Salawath, and more recitation of the Holy Quran and make your heart alive and never let it die. May Allah Almighty forgive us and give us from his endless favours. Let Him give us love for Him and for His beloved Prophet Muhammed (on whom be peace) and also love for the Saints. If a heart has no love in it this heart becomes a dead heart. It will not be a living heart. The light of the heart is love. If there is no love do not think that your heart is living. The love that you have for the temporary things of this life is a certain kind of foolishness. Love must be for permanent things. That love for Allah Almighty and for His beloved Prophet (on whom be peace) makes your heart alive.
35
Keep reciting your Zikr daily. 100 times “Allah, Allah” 100 times Salawath – “?Allhumma salli ala Muhammedin wa ala ali Muhammedin wa sallam” 100 times “La ilaha illallah” 100 times ‘Asthaghfirullail azheem wa’a toobu ilaihi” and 100 times “Bismilla hir rahman ir rahim” All of the above Zikr gives your heart eternal life and love comes to your heart. That love carries you to eternal life. I end by asking for you and for me and for everyone.
5-AS-SALAM: The Saviour or The Source of Peace "He is absolutely perfect in His essence and attributes and all His works have sense and wisdom. He is the one who saves believers from dangers and trouble."
5-MAKE THE ENTRANCE TO HEAVEN WIDE It is not easy in our days to follow the ways of the companions of the Prophet Muhammed, may peace be upon him, The Prophet (on whom be peace), was saying, “If you disobey just one command out of a hundred, there is fear that your faith is becoming weaker. It could even mean that you are loosing your faith. You must follow all commands. That is your position. But there will come a time in which if one of my people just follows one command out of a hundred, that in itself will mean that the person has a lot of faith”. That is the time we are in now. People in our days have been given knowledge. Many people have knowledge. There are many scholars who have knowledge, but they do not have wisdom. As a result they make people run away from Islam. They do not accept a person who only comes and says, “La ilaha illallah Muhammed ur Rasulullah”. It is enough to start with. We know that these Holy words are the keys to paradise. If we keep them until the end, it is enough. We do not tell people that we have a hundred commands and that they must do all of them and that if they don’t they are not Muslims. What foolishness that would be! The new types of scholars who do this have no understanding. They are like cassette tapes. That is the reason why we are loosing. The Non- Muslim World is looking to Islam with hatred because of these people who try to spread Islam without wisdom and without love. Muhammed, may peace be on him, was first of all ordered by Allah to teach people to say these words La ilaha illallah. That was the first command. “Let them say these words and forever declare My Unity and My Existence. That is enough. Even if they don’t declare, Muhammed ur Rasulullah, I will make a Judgment for them!” This is because when Muhammed (on whom be peace) asked about being allowed to make intercession for people, Allah granted him to intercede only on behalf of the people who would say, La ilaha illallah Muhammed ur Rasulullah .Those who only say, La Ilaha Illallah, Allah would judge them Himself.
37
Make the entrance to paradise as wide as possible. Don’t make it narrow, because it is not narrow. Make it as wide as the distance between east and west and let people enter. Don’t ever say to anyone who is turning towards paradise that he cannot enter. If someone has turned his face to the Lord, then don’t turn him away. It is a sign that in the old Mecca before renovation, there used to be forty open gates to the Ka’aba. There were no doors that could be locked. Anyone who wanted to could enter anytime. The people who say that they are widening the space there by their renovations have put huge doors there and closed it. Allah Almighty then made some other people to go inside and to close the doors and to put fire on them. At the beginning of the 15th Islamic Century some people did just that. That was the punishment for them. But no one understands. The Ka’aba should have no doors, only entrances. People should be able to come and go anytime. Anyone who asks Allah in his heart, even at the last moment will be accepted. Even if as many devils as there are grains of sand is sent to that person, they cannot succeed. Once the heart of a servant has been turned to the Lord, it is finished. Satan can affect people during their lives, but in their last few moments Allah Almighty looks at the hearts of His servants. Make things easy. Islam is easy. Other religions are heavy and too difficult. Allah Almighty has made the highest servant hood the easiest. The Shariat of Islam is the most tolerant one. “There will come a time when if you just keep one rule, you will be saved!” Just let people say, La Ilaha Illallah Muhammed ur Rasulullah, and then leave them. That will make your highest respect and that cannot be without a prostration.

6-AL-MU'MIN: The Guardian of Faith "He is Illuminator of the light of faith in hearts, making us believers. He is the Comforter and Protector of the ones who take refuge in Him."
6-BECOME A HEAVENLY BEING Allah Almighty is the One who sends Light (Noor) to our hearts. Till Noor comes to our hearts, we are like blind people. We must ask Allah Almighty to take away blindness from our hearts. When Light comes to our hearts this blindness will be taken away. When real faith Haqqiqathul Iman comes to our hearts we will be totally changed into a new personality. We now belong to Dunya and not to Moula. We shall then be in Moula. When Haqqiqathul Iman comes to our hearts we will become heavenly beings. When a person becomes a heavenly being, Allah Almighty will ask no questions from him. He will not be questioned. This is because when he comes to the Divine Presence he is dressed in Noor and because he has reached to what he has been asked to reach. He has reached to perfection as Allah Almighty had commanded him. He has therefore done his best and fulfilled his purpose. It is due to this reason that he shall not be questioned. We are now within limits, and our sight is as if we are within four walls. But when Allah Almighty dresses one of His servants in Noor there shall be no hindrance to his sight and his vision. Distances, walls, buildings, mountains etc. non-of these shall obstruct the vision of this servant. Nothing shall prevent him from looking and seeing. He will be able to look in any direction and every direction. He shall be able to see without distraction up to the end of that direction. Distance shall not affect his vision. Neither will darkness in the night be a veil over his sight. Night shall appear as day to him. This is because he is dressed in this Noor. Every cell of his body is also Noor and like the shining of the Sun he shall be inside and outside of everything. Such a person shall be in the Divine Presence.
If Allah Almighty questions such a servant it shall be in the form of speaking to him only in order to honour him. When Allah Almighty speaks to and addresses such a servant more and more honour comes to that person. This is only for honouring as His servant has done his best for Allah Almighty and has reached already to perfection. This is why he shall not be questioned. He has realized and reached to what Allah Almighty has asked of him and to what Allah Almighty has appointed for him. If a person does his best in trying to fulfill the purpose of his Lord, he must somehow reach to that station. When a servant of Allah Almighty reaches to such a station it shall never be lost to him. It shall be forever. When the real Power of Iman enters his heart he shall change from being a worldly being into a heavenly being and his relationship to his heavenly stations shall be for always and ever. In Unity he shall have no more troubles, no more problems, no more sadness and no more hopelessness. He shall be granted by Allah Almighty to be able to say “BE” and it shall become. When he reaches to that station he shall have no more egoistic desires; Finished. No more shall he belong to Dunya nor shall he even belong to himself. He shall belong to Allah Almighty and Allah Almighty shall accept him. To live for Allah Almighty is the highest horizon of servant hood. We have been asked to move towards this horizon. This is our target. When a person belongs to Allah Almighty he leaves everything and says Innee Wajjahathu Wajjhiya Lillazee Faathiras Samawathee Wal Arla Hanifa. “Oh my Lord I have now turned my face to you”. Do we really mean it when we say this or do we say this only with our tongues. Allah Almighty is asking us to say it and mean it. To say “Oh my Lord, I belong to you and I am leaving out every other relationship in this life of mine. I am asking for a relationship with You in Your Heavens”. Then we shall be given this relationship with Heavens. We are now too busy with this Dunya, and the World occupies all our time. Some of us are businessmen and the rest are “busymen”. When are we going to be free to be able to say, “I belong to you and I am running towards you”. When you walk in steps towards Allah Almighty He runs towards you. For example, when a guest steps into the hosts’ home with one step and when the host sees him coming, the host runs towards his guest in order to honour the guest.
41
Likewise when a servant takes a step towards Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty also runs towards him, and this is the biggest honour. Allah Almighty says “when my servant puts one step towards me in order to come to me, I will go towards him running. If he approaches me a distance of one foot, I shall move towards him with a distance of one yard. If he is approaching me in the measure of yards, I shall approach him with a bigger measuring”. Yes, this must be. When we turn our faces towards Him and ask to step towards His Divine Presence and leave this life behind to find Allah Almighty, He shall run towards us. Therefore the target of all Muslims is to try to belong to Him and to say “I am your servant, I belong to You and my service is only to You, and not to another” and to be able to reach to that point. How are we going to make it possible to belong to Allah Almighty and not to another? Unlike Angels we have our physical needs. Yes, I acknowledge that through this life we need something for our physical body, but if we keep our hearts only for Allah Almighty and make it clean for Him and ready for Him, it would then be possible to belong to Him. Allah Almighty created our hearts, blessed it with His endless favours and said “The heart belongs to me only. The rest is for you, but keep only the heart for me”. Therefore we must control our hearts so that there will be nothing in our hearts except Allah Almighty. Then, whenever Allah Almighty looks at your heart, He shall see that He is there. Allah Almighty will then say “that servant belongs to me”. Allah Almighty grants this to His Saints. The Saints are keeping it, and giving of this also to others as the Saints know the Secret of giving. Allah Almighty says “Oh my servants give, because I am giving to you”. If a person gives for the sake of Allah Almighty his pockets shall never be empty. Allah Almighty sends endless blessings during both day and night by making the heart say “Allah Allah ,” because the heart belongs to Allah Almighty only. When the heart of a person belongs to Allah Almighty that person would not be able to forget Allah Almighty, and he shall belong to Allah Almighty. It is not good even for one second to be heedless of Allah Almighty. By doing Zikr through your heart Allah Almighty gives you the opportunity to be able to be heedful of Him, at least by
intention, as then he would be always keeping that Zikr in his heart. This opportunity means that he would belong to Allah Almighty when Zikr runs through his heart. Yes, When you reach to Allah Almighty you shall find that real peace and real enjoyment is with Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty granted to Adam (alai) the Secret of His Divine Soul. But we are heedless in believing and trying to know this. All types of worship bring the servant of Allah Almighty towards Him. Being servants of Allah Almighty means belonging to Him. Yes, He is watching us, and without Him we would not even have been in existence.

7-AL-MUHAYMIN: The Protector "He is the Protector and the Guardian. He is the one who sees to the evolution and the growth of His creation, leading them where they are destined to go. Nothing escapes His attention for moment."
7-MUHAMMED , THE MOST BLESSED IN THE DIVINE PRESENCE The Prophet Muhammed (on whom be peace), used to sit with and address his Sahabas and for the common people too he was giving Nasiha. The meaning of Nasiha is to advise and say good things to people urging them to do good. It is also to ask them to leave off bad. This is Nasiha. Allah Almighty ordered His Prophets from the beginning up to now to teach people to do good and to leave badness. Therefore the mission of all Prophets is to call people to goodness and to ask them to leave badness. When people are called towards goodness and they become good, it is a good life for them. When they lead a good life here, this shall lead to paradise for them in the hereafter. Who in this life is not asking for a good, peaceful, happy, enjoyable, healthy, wealthy and honourable life. Anyone who does not ask for such a life must be mad. Yes, they ask for a good life, Hayathu Thaiyyiba. That is the life that is suitable for humanity. Then after this life there is paradise when one leads a good life. There is no one who asks for a bad life. When the Prophet (on whom be peace), was preaching there were some people who ran away from him. They ran away like donkeys would run when they saw the Prophet coming towards them. They were trying to escape from the Prophet (on whom be peace). Allah Almighty described these people to the Prophet (on whom be peace), in the following manner “Oh! My beloved Muhammed, they run to escape from you like wild donkeys trying to escape from lions. You are calling them to a honourable life here, and to an eternal life in paradise in the hereafter, yet they are running away from you like wild donkeys trying to escape”. Now it is the time of the Prophet Muhammed (on whom be peace). It is his Nation, now. The nations of the other Prophets have passed, This time is for the pleasure of the Prophet (on
whom be peace), only, and not for any other Prophet. There is a story in relation to this point. Some of the Sahabas asked the Prophet (on whom be peace), whether it was all right for them to read the religious books of the earlier Prophets. From the face of the Prophet (on whom be peace), they realized that the Prophet (on whom be peace), was not pleased at this question. We do not mean to say that the Prophet’s(on whom be peace), displeasure was like the anger that we know of. It was Jallali. We cannot give the meaning of Jallali in English. All we are able to say is that it was Divine Anger and not the anger of the common people. The anger of the common people is different because they get angry for themselves, and this anger makes people bad. But the Prophet’s(on whom be peace), anger was Divine Anger. When you are angry a donkey rides on you, and you are not able to accept Allah Almighty or your Prophet (on whom be peace). You become a wild donkey who is not able to control itself. Yes, when you are angry you cannot control yourself. You must try to control your anger because you have no right to be like a donkey. If you control your anger you end up making your anger the donkey. Coming back to the story, the Prophet (on whom be peace), was angry about this question that the Sahabas asked of him, when they asked him whether they could read the religious books of the people of the books (Ahlul Kithaab). The Prophet (on whom be peace), said “ Oh, my Ashabs, my Companions, leave their books with their Prophets, leave their books with Moosa (alai) and Easa (alai). In my time, during the time of my nation, even if they were to be here, they would have no duty but to follow me. When I am here no more Kithaab for them, nor do they have a duty to be a Prophet (on whom be peace). Therefore as the Quran Kareem and I am with you, you have no need for any other books”. I am also saying that for me, that the seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), is the Prophet of all nations. Do you accept or do you not accept this. His Prophethood is for the whole of mankind. In our days the whole of mankind are turning themselves away from him. They are running away from the Seal of the Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace). They want to escape from the teachings of the Holy Prophet (on whom be peace), and his wisdom. They are displaying the same characteristics of the people that Allah Almighty described. Those who ran like donkeys at the sight of a lion.
45
Allah Almighty made the life of the Prophet Muhammed (on whom be peace), clean. Before his coming even, the whole World was expecting him to come. He did not suddenly appear and say, “I am Muhammed, the Messenger of Allah Almighty, therefore listen to me”. No, he was expected from the time of Adam (alai). Adam (alai) was looking to find him from among his children as he had been given good tidings about his son, the beloved of Allah Almighty, Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace). Adam (alai) knew that his son was the Most Beloved in the Divine Presence of Allah Almighty, the Most Respected in the Divine Presence, the Most Honourable in the Divine Presence, the Most Glorified in the Divine Presence, the Most Mercy given in the Divine Presence, the most Enlightened in the Divine Presence, the Most Blessed in the Divine Presence, the Highest in the Divine Presence and the one who had been Granted the best attributes of Perfection by Allah Almighty. Therefore when Adam (alai) went against the Holy Command of Allah Almighty, he asked forgiveness for the honour of the Most Blessed one in the Divine Presence, beloved Muhammed (on whom be peace). This is because Adam (alai) was the first person who looked, and saw that the name of Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), was written on the Arsh (Throne of Allah Almighty). As I was saying the life of Rasulullah (on whom be peace), is so clear. His description is perfection and he was well known throughout the centuries from the time of Adam (alai). Adam (alai) carried the Noor of Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), on his forehead. This Noor passed to Idrees (alai) and from him to Nooh (alai) and from him to Ibrahim (alai) and from him to Ismail (alai) and in this manner his Noor was expected to pass from father to son and for it to appear in the form of Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), some day. Therefore, he was always expected to come into this World. The whole World was following this Noor from father to son and then again from father to son and the World waited for his appearance. Apart from this, the holy books and all the Prophets gave a full description of him. When Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), was living and preaching as a Prophet, he sent his holy message to Emperors, Kings and Governors. To the Emperor of Byzantine to the
Emperor of Iran, to the King of Egypt and to the King of Yemen. He also sent his message to the King of Abyssinia. The Prophet Muhammed (on whom be peace), sent his holy message to the Byzantine Emperor asking him to believe in his Prophethood and in the concept of the oneness of Allah Almighty. He was asking him to believe in it and to say La ilaha illallah Muhammed ur Rasulullah. This message first reached to the Byzantine Emperor when he was in Damascus. There

n your heart you must continue to do it always. You must try to be like that forever. Don’t make Zikr today and tomorrow and then stop. You must try to keep it forever. I do not see any person stopping eating and drinking, likewise you must not stop your Zikr. Continue making this Zikr regularly and take care of your spiritual life. Do more Zikr, more Salawath, and more recitation of the Holy Quran and make your heart alive and never let it die. May Allah Almighty forgive us and give us from his endless favours. Let Him give us love for Him and for His beloved Prophet Muhammed (on whom be peace) and also love for the Saints. If a heart has no love in it this heart becomes a dead heart. It will not be a living heart. The light of the heart is love. If there is no love do not think that your heart is living. The love that you have for the temporary things of this life is a certain kind of foolishness. Love must be for permanent things. That love for Allah Almighty and for His beloved Prophet (on whom be peace) makes your heart alive.
35
Keep reciting your Zikr daily. 100 times “Allah, Allah” 100 times Salawath – “?Allhumma salli ala Muhammedin wa ala ali Muhammedin wa sallam” 100 times “La ilaha illallah” 100 times ‘Asthaghfirullail azheem wa’a toobu ilaihi” and 100 times “Bismilla hir rahman ir rahim” All of the above Zikr gives your heart eternal life and love comes to your heart. That love carries you to eternal life. I end by asking for you and for me and for everyone.

5-MAKE THE ENTRANCE TO HEAVEN WIDE It is not easy in our days to follow the ways of the companions of the Prophet Muhammed, may peace be upon him, The Prophet (on whom be peace), was saying, “If you disobey just one command out of a hundred, there is fear that your faith is becoming weaker. It could even mean that you are loosing your faith. You must follow all commands. That is your position. But there will come a time in which if one of my people just follows one command out of a hundred, that in itself will mean that the person has a lot of faith”. That is the time we are in now. People in our days have been given knowledge. Many people have knowledge. There are many scholars who have knowledge, but they do not have wisdom. As a result they make people run away from Islam. They do not accept a person who only comes and says, “La ilaha illallah Muhammed ur Rasulullah”. It is enough to start with. We know that these Holy words are the keys to paradise.

That was the first command. “Let them say these words and forever declare My Unity and My Existence. That is enough.

37
Make the entrance to paradise as wide as possible. Don’t make it narrow, because it is not narrow. Make it as wide as the distance between east and west and let people enter. Don’t ever say to anyone who is turning towards paradise that he cannot enter. If someone has turned his face to the Lord, then don’t turn him away. It is a sign that in the old Mecca before renovation, there used to be forty open gates to the Ka’aba. There were no doors that could be locked. Anyone who wanted to could enter anytime. The people who say that they are widening the space there by their renovations have put huge doors there and closed it. Allah Almighty then made some other people to go inside and to close the doors and to put fire on them. At the beginning of the 15th Islamic Century some people did just that.

6-AL-MU'MIN: The Guardian of Faith "He is Illuminator of the light of faith in hearts, making us believers. He is the Comforter and Protector of the ones who take refuge in Him."
6-BECOME A HEAVENLY BEING Allah Almighty is the One who sends Light (Noor) to our hearts. Till Noor comes to our hearts, we are like blind people. We must ask Allah Almighty to take away blindness from our hearts. When Light comes to our hearts this blindness will be taken away. When real faith Haqqiqathul Iman comes to our hearts we will be totally changed into a new personality. We now belong to Dunya and not to Moula. We shall then be in Moula. When Haqqiqathul Iman comes to our hearts we will become heavenly beings. When a person becomes a heavenly being, Allah Almighty will ask no questions from him. He will not be questioned. This is because when he comes to the Divine Presence he is dressed in Noor and because he has reached to what he has been asked to reach. He has reached to perfection as Allah Almighty had commanded him. He has therefore done his best and fulfilled his purpose. It is due to this reason that he shall not be questioned. We are now within limits, and our sight is as if we are within four walls. But when Allah Almighty dresses one of His servants in Noor there shall be no hindrance to his sight and his vision. Distances, walls, buildings, mountains etc. non-of these shall obstruct the vision of this servant. Nothing shall prevent him from looking and seeing. He will be able to look in any direction and every direction. He shall be able to see without distraction up to the end of that direction. Distance shall not affect his vision. Neither will darkness in the night be a veil over his sight. Night shall appear as day to him. This is because he is dressed in this Noor. Every cell of his body is also Noor and like the shining of the Sun he shall be inside and outside of everything. Such a person shall be in the Divine Presence.
If Allah Almighty questions such a servant it shall be in the form of speaking to him only in order to honour him. When Allah Almighty speaks to and addresses such a servant more and more honour comes to that person. This is only for honouring as His servant has done his best for Allah Almighty and has reached already to perfection. This is why he shall not be questioned. He has realized and reached to what Allah Almighty has asked of him and to what Allah Almighty has appointed for him. If a person does his best in trying to fulfill the purpose of his Lord, he must somehow reach to that station. When a servant of Allah Almighty reaches to such a station it shall never be lost to him. It shall be forever. When the real Power of Iman enters his heart he shall change from being a worldly being into a heavenly being and his relationship to his heavenly stations shall be for always and ever. In Unity he shall have no more troubles, no more problems, no more sadness and no more hopelessness. He shall be granted by Allah Almighty to be able to say “BE” and it shall become. When he reaches to that station he shall have no more egoistic desires; Finished. No more shall he belong to Dunya nor shall he even belong to himself. He shall belong to Allah Almighty and Allah Almighty shall accept him. To live for Allah Almighty is the highest horizon of servant hood. We have been asked to move towards this horizon. This is our target. When a person belongs to Allah Almighty he leaves everything and says Innee Wajjahathu Wajjhiya Lillazee Faathiras Samawathee Wal Arla Hanifa. “Oh my Lord I have now turned my face to you”. Do we really mean it when we say this or do we say this only with our tongues. Allah Almighty is asking us to say it and mean it. To say “Oh my Lord, I belong to you and I am leaving out every other relationship in this life of mine. I am asking for a relationship with You in Your Heavens”. Then we shall be given this relationship with Heavens. We are now too busy with this Dunya, and the World occupies all our time. Some of us are businessmen and the rest are “busymen”. When are we going to be free to be able to say, “I belong to you and I am running towards you”. When you walk in steps towards Allah Almighty He runs towards you. For example, when a guest steps into the hosts’ home with one step and when the host sees him coming, the host runs towards his guest in order to honour the guest.
41
Likewise when a servant takes a step towards Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty also runs towards him, and this is the biggest honour. Allah Almighty says “when my servant puts one step towards me in order to come to me, I will go towards him running. If he approaches me a distance of one foot, I shall move towards him with a distance of one yard. If he is approaching me in the measure of yards, I shall approach him with a bigger measuring”. Yes, this must be. When we turn our faces towards Him and ask to step towards His Divine Presence and leave this life behind to find Allah Almighty, He shall run towards us. Therefore the target of all Muslims is to try to belong to Him and to say “I am your servant, I belong to You and my service is only to You, and not to another” and to be able to reach to that point. How are we going to make it possible to belong to Allah Almighty and not to another? Unlike Angels we have our physical needs. Yes, I acknowledge that through this life we need something for our physical body, but if we keep our hearts only for Allah Almighty and make it clean for Him and ready for Him, it would then be possible to belong to Him. Allah Almighty created our hearts, blessed it with His endless favours and said “The heart belongs to me only. The rest is for you, but keep only the heart for me”. Therefore we must control our hearts so that there will be nothing in our hearts except Allah Almighty. Then, whenever Allah Almighty looks at your heart, He shall see that He is there. Allah Almighty will then say “that servant belongs to me”. Allah Almighty grants this to His Saints. The Saints are keeping it, and giving of this also to others as the Saints know the Secret of giving. Allah Almighty says “Oh my servants give, because I am giving to you”. If a person gives for the sake of Allah Almighty his pockets shall never be empty. Allah Almighty sends endless blessings during both day and night by making the heart say “Allah Allah ,” because the heart belongs to Allah Almighty only. When the heart of a person belongs to Allah Almighty that person would not be able to forget Allah Almighty, and he shall belong to Allah Almighty. It is not good even for one second to be heedless of Allah Almighty. By doing Zikr through your heart Allah Almighty gives you the opportunity to be able to be heedful of Him, at least by
intention, as then he would be always keeping that Zikr in his heart. This opportunity means that he would belong to Allah Almighty when Zikr runs through his heart. Yes, When you reach to Allah Almighty you shall find that real peace and real enjoyment is with Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty granted to Adam (alai) the Secret of His Divine Soul. But we are heedless in believing and trying to know this. All types of worship bring the servant of Allah Almighty towards Him. Being servants of Allah Almighty means belonging to Him. Yes, He is watching us, and without Him we would not even have been in existence.

Then after this life there is paradise when one leads a good life. There is no one who asks for a bad life. When the Prophet (on whom be peace), was preaching there were some people who ran away from him. They ran away like donkeys would run when they saw the Prophet coming towards them. They were trying to escape from the Prophet (on whom be peace). Allah Almighty described these people to the Prophet (on whom be peace), in the following manner “Oh! My beloved Muhammed, they run to escape from you like wild donkeys trying to escape from lions. You are calling them to a honourable life here, and to an eternal life in paradise in the hereafter, yet they are running away from you like wild donkeys trying to escape”. Now it is the time of the Prophet Muhammed (on whom be peace). It is his Nation, now. The nations of the other Prophets have passed, This time is for the pleasure of the Prophet (on
whom be peace), only, and not for any other Prophet. There is a story in relation to this point. Some of the Sahabas asked the Prophet (on whom be peace), whether it was all right for them to read the religious books of the earlier Prophets. From the face of the Prophet (on whom be peace), they realized that the Prophet (on whom be peace), was not pleased at this question. We do not mean to say that the Prophet’s(on whom be peace), displeasure was like the anger that we know of. It was Jallali. We cannot give the meaning of Jallali in English. All we are able to say is that it was Divine Anger and not the anger of the common people. The anger of the common people is different because they get angry for themselves, and this anger makes people bad. But the Prophet’s(on whom be peace), anger was Divine Anger. When you are angry a donkey rides on you, and you are not able to accept Allah Almighty or your Prophet (on whom be peace). You become a wild donkey who is not able to control itself. Yes, when you are angry you cannot control yourself. You must try to control your anger because you have no right to be like a donkey. If you control your anger you end up making your anger the donkey. Coming back to the story, the Prophet (on whom be peace), was angry about this question that the Sahabas asked of him, when they asked him whether they could read the religious books of the people of the books (Ahlul Kithaab). The Prophet (on whom be peace), said “ Oh, my Ashabs, my Companions, leave their books with their Prophets, leave their books with Moosa (alai) and Easa (alai). In my time, during the time of my nation, even if they were to be here, they would have no duty but to follow me. When I am here no more Kithaab for them, nor do they have a duty to be a Prophet (on whom be peace). Therefore as the Quran Kareem and I am with you, you have no need for any other books”. I am also saying that for me, that the seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), is the Prophet of all nations. Do you accept or do you not accept this. His Prophethood is for the whole of mankind. In our days the whole of mankind are turning themselves away from him. They are running away from the Seal of the Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace). They want to escape from the teachings of the Holy Prophet (on whom be peace), and his wisdom. They are displaying the same characteristics of the people that Allah Almighty described. Those who ran like donkeys at the sight of a lion.

Allah Almighty made the life of the Prophet Muhammed (on whom be peace), clean. Before his coming even, the whole World was expecting him to come. He did not suddenly appear and say, “I am Muhammed, the Messenger of Allah Almighty, therefore listen to me”. No, he was expected from the time of Adam (alai). Adam (alai) was looking to find him from among his children as he had been given good tidings about his son, the beloved of Allah Almighty, Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace). Adam (alai) knew that his son was the Most Beloved in the Divine Presence of Allah Almighty, the Most Respected in the Divine Presence, the Most Honourable in the Divine Presence, the Most Glorified in the Divine Presence, the Most Mercy given in the Divine Presence, the most Enlightened in the Divine Presence, the Most Blessed in the Divine Presence, the Highest in the Divine Presence and the one who had been Granted the best attributes of Perfection by Allah Almighty. Therefore when Adam (alai) went against the Holy Command of Allah Almighty, he asked forgiveness for the honour of the Most Blessed one in the Divine Presence, beloved Muhammed (on whom be peace). This is because Adam (alai) was the first person who looked, and saw that the name of Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), was written on the Arsh (Throne of Allah Almighty). As I was saying the life of Rasulullah (on whom be peace), is so clear. His description is perfection and he was well known throughout the centuries from the time of Adam (alai). Adam (alai) carried the Noor of Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), on his forehead. This Noor passed to Idrees (alai) and from him to Nooh (alai) and from him to Ibrahim (alai) and from him to Ismail (alai) and in this manner his Noor was expected to pass from father to son and for it to appear in the form of Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), some day. Therefore, he was always expected to come into this World. The whole World was following this Noor from father to son and then again from father to son and the World waited for his appearance. Apart from this, the holy books and all the Prophets gave a full description of him. When Sayyidina Muhammed (on whom be peace), was living and preaching as a Prophet, he sent his holy message to Emperors, Kings and Governors. To the Emperor of Byzantine to the
Emperor of Iran, to the King of Egypt and to the King of Yemen. He also sent his message to the King of Abyssinia. The Prophet Muhammed (on whom be peace), sent his holy message to the Byzantine Emperor asking him to believe in his Prophethood and in the concept of the oneness of Allah Almighty. He was asking him to believe in it and to say La ilaha illallah Muhammed ur Rasulullah. This message first reached to the Byzantine Emperor when he was in Damascus. There
