The Idler s Way Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Al-Haqqani An-Naqshibandi, Sohbat of the 6th of June, 2013. May the Laylatu-l Mi raj be mubarak. May we find honour with many such nights. May we be busy with deeds that will make our Lord pleased with us. Fatiha. O our Allah! Qawwi dha fana fi ridak. As-Salam alaikum O attending ones; O beloved, Shah Mardan. May it be mubarak; the night and the day of Mi'raj be mubarak for all of us. Allahumma qawwi dha fana fi ridak. Let us pray: O Shah Mardan, the Master of the field, O Shah Mardan, who is admired by all, O one who even the lions admire, the lion of all the lions: Shah Mardan. As-Salam alaikum O beloved Shah Mardan. Come on in, let us listen. Let us say on this holy day: Allahumma qawwi dha'fana fi ridak. We are weak ones. May You take our weakness away from us for Your pleasure. O Shah Mardan, what is it that we are asking? O beloved, Shah Mardan, may you know what is it that we are asking. Go ahead, O Shah Mardan. Listen O beloved ones! O the friends of Shah Mardan, may you listen! May our assembly be an assembly of Nur; O Shah Mardan, the lion of his Lord. Let us first say Bismillahi r-rahmani r-rahim. Say first before anything else: Bismillahi r- Rahmani r-rahim. Abdun dhaif, we are weak servants. Qawwi dha'fana fi ridak. May You remove our weakness in the way of pleasing You. We are weak. Qawwi dha'fana fi ridak. May You make our weaknesses leave us by Your good Pleasure. Go ahead, O Shah Mardan. Say, O beloved ones, O friends of Shah Mardan. Let us say, "Ya Rabbi, qawwi dha'fi fi ridak." Strengthen our weaknesses to be pleasing to You. The servants of Rabbu-l 'Izzat cannot be weak. Can someone who is the servant of a Sultan be weak? Then come on in, let us listen to Shah Mardan. Let us ask from Allah Almighty so that Divine Help may reach us for servanthood, for His servanthood. Go ahead, O Shah Mardan. One man asked another man: "What is your job? What is your occupation?" He replied: "Wallahi I have no job". Astonishing. "Are you not a human?" "Well, yes, I am a human". But you say "I have no job". You say "I am unemployed". This, this word is not suitable for Man who is created as the most honoured creature. You are created as the most honoured one. When you are asked "What is your job?", you say "I have no job". This is a shame. It is a big shame for you to say "I have no job". What does it mean "I have no job?" "Well, we have nothing to do. We are idle". Shame on you, that you have nothing, no job to do? At least say "I am occupied with the service of my Lord". They say "we have no job". What did you expect to do as a job? You expected to be hitched to a carriage? You expected to be hitched instead of a donkey? Is this the job you www.saltanat.orgpage 1
want? All the people today are like the waterwheel donkeys. They keep turning around and saying "I have no job". "Come and I will make you work tomorrow". "What will I do?" "Come and there is this wheel of ours. If you have nothing to do, I may tie you to it and you turn around. Keep turning around. "What will happen then?" "This will be your job". "What will we achieve in the end?" "We will pull water from the well in the end. You have no job? Ok. Come and I tie you to the wheel. You keep turning around the wheel, pull water and this will be your job". "Yahu, we want a job!". "What kind of a job?" "Whatever!" "Can you work as a waterwheel donkey?" "If there is no other job, I can". "Turn around the wheel and we will pay you". "What can we do? If there is no other job let us at least be waterwheel donkeys". How good it is, isn't it? Keep turning and turning around! They also cover that animal's eyes, so that it feels it is going a long distance when it only goes in circles. If its eyes are not covered, it won't turn. You are human! You are the most honoured creature. Did Lord Almighty Who created you as the most honoured creature not assign a job for you? Even the waterwheel donkey has a job. How can you say "I don't have a job"? Your job is... "What do you know?" "I know nothing". "Come then, I cover your eyes, tie you to this wheel and you turn". "What is your occupation?" "I don't know anything else". "What is your job?" He says, "I can work as a waterwheel donkey too. Since it is also a job, let me at least work as a waterwheel donkey". An inspiration comes to me. We await your order, O Shah Mardan. These people have become toys in the hands of shaytan. Shaytan asks: "What do you do?" "I do nothing". "Who created you left you idle? Did Allah leave you without an occupation?" "What do you do?" asks one of the wise ones, or asks Shah Mardan Hz. You replied "I do nothing. I have no job, I am idle". There is no man who is left idle. You should have a job. "What do you do?" "I do nothing". "Come then, I tie you to the wheel". So he ties him to the wheel, covers his eyes also. "Your job is to turn this wheel here". What did shaytan do to the mankind? It turned them into waterwheel donkeys. Man, the most honoured creature Allah created, shaytan made mankind into waterwheel donkeys. What do they turn? They turn the wheel of shaytan! Man says "I have no job". www.saltanat.orgpage 2
"Come then, I tie you to the wheel and you will have a job", shaytan says like this. "I can't do this job. I can't do that job". Do you not think then, for what do you exist? From where does your existence come? What is your profession? "I have no profession". "If you don't, then come here". Shaytan collects all the men that don't have a profession. "What will be our job now?" "You will shout, you will scream". You scream, "I want this, I want that." You break the windows. You destroy the stores, this is your job. Did you like this description of shaytan? AstaghfiruLlah. O our Lord, man, whom You created as the most honoured one, says "I have no job?" This is a shame. "We have no job, what should we do?" Go out into the streets. Scream, shout, break, destroy. This is your job. Is this not also a job? Scream, shout, say "We are hungry!" Break all the windows. Burn, break, destroy, kill. Is this humanity? Is this the description of humanity? Shame on the foolish men of the 20th century, of 21st century. They do not think: "Why are we idle ones?" Not even a donkey stays idle. They call it "waterwheel donkey". At least it turns the wheel and pulls up water. Man! But man is not a waterwheel donkey. Pay attention! Go ahead, O Shah Mardan. He (swt) Who created you did not make you waterwheel donkeys for dunya. Here, this is what they do not know. Man is not created to be a waterwheel donkey. O the foolish people of the 21st century! O the low quality, mindless, dishonorable people of the 21st century! Allah created even the donkey, the horse for a job. Can He (swt) leave you without a job? They say "We have no job". There are plenty of jobs to do in dunya! They say, "We have no job. What should we do?" The people poured into the streets. They are breaking, damaging, saying "There is no job". They scream, they shout. They say "job", they say "food". They break, they vandalize. This is not humanity - this 21st century understanding. This is the understanding of the 21st century people about themselves. They say "We are created as waterwheel donkeys. Because we can't find a wheel, we are left idle. And since we are idle, we break windows. We vandalize. We shout in the streets. We break, destroy. Let this be our job". So this is your job? Did your Creator create you to break, to vandalize, to destroy and burn, to make every evil. Did He create you for this? "We have nothing to do. If we have nothing to do, the streets are empty. Let us go into the streets and shout, break, burn, destroy all around". This is not humanity. Whichever (...) taught this...? The (...) shaytan taught them - "Don't work. Say, 'There is no work'. Break, burn, destroy". 21st century's civilization. Yes, but what a civilization! What is shaytan doing? It is covering their eyes. "Go out into the streets like this". "Let us shout, scream, burn, destroy". This is not humanity. Shame on the people in this 21st century. There is no one left to teach them their identity. They don't know their identity. If you ask a donkey "who are you?" it will say "I am a waterwheel donkey". The people of this time cannot even answer as the www.saltanat.orgpage 3
waterwheel donkey does. What have the people of the 21st century become? They say "We have no work". Then? Go ahead O Shah Mardan, they await your answer. These ones are the freeloaders. These are the freeloader group. Even animals work but these ones don't work. Animals offer man a benefit but these people who pour into the streets destroy humanity and degrade the honour of humanity and then they say "we have no work". These ones are lower than animals. "'Ula'ika Kal 'an'ami Bal Hum 'Adallu" (7:179) The Lord of Earths and Heavens Allahu Dhul Jalal says: "'Ula'ika Kal 'an'am". These ones will come in the end of times. These ones are the freeloader group. The people of the 21st century are all freeloaders. They want to live without working. "What is your job?" "I have no job". "What do you do then?" "We gather. There is a meeting tonight. There is a meeting in such a center, in such a square. Women and men, we come together and demonstrate, scream and shout". The government is astonished, not knowing what to do. What can they do? The people you have raised are all freeloaders. Their governments are even more freeloaders than them. They are even more freeloaders. Shaytan has tied them very well too. Allah Almighty says: "'Ula'ika Kal 'an'am". These ones are like animals. A donkey works, gets some hay and eats according to its work. These are the freeloaders who want to eat without working; the idle, lazy ones, freeloaders. These are the donkeys of shaytan. Those who want to earn without working, who burn and destroy everywhere: "'Ula'ika Kal 'an'am". These are like animals. "Bal Hum 'Adallu". Animals today are more honourable than the two-legged animals. At least they don't burn and destroy - Meaning there is no evil left that these two-legged ones don't do. They do all of it! They scream, shout. Then they say "We are hungry". There was a man called Uj ibn Anaq from the old times. There was Uj in the time of the Prophet Moses. He was the head of freeloaders. He was very tall. He would find fish in the sea and eat them by cooking them in the sun. And also, he would go around all the bakeries in that country. He would go to all the bakeries and whichever bakery he went to he would swallow all they had and then disappear. He didn't ask "For whom is this blessing? Is it my right or not?" The people of this time also want to take and eat what is others' right. May they eat poison! The dishonoured people of this time go out to burn, destroy everyone's homes and then they claim to be human! Allah will send a nation who will overcome them. "I am idle, have nothing to do". Is that so? You have no work? Beat them in falaqa to discipline, to discipline the ill-mannered people. What does the Shariat say? "Fajliduhum Thamanina Jaldatan" (24:4). Yes? Do you understand? "Fajliduhum". It says "beat these shameless ones, these freeloaders". "Fajliduhum Thamanina Jaldatan". Beat them on the soles of their feet and see, will they do freeloading after this or not? Can you find even one of them in the streets? But they don't keep the Shariat. Shaytan rides on the neck of the 21st century's people. It shows what their spiritual situation is, the attribute of the people of this time, what they call the 21st century. All of them are freeloaders. "Fajliduhum". Beat these people! See if they will go out to the streets and shout again. Send them to prison. Send them to the mountains, leave them www.saltanat.orgpage 4
without food and water in the wild and see if they will ever do these ill-mannered things again? Will they go out and shout in the streets. "Fajliduhum Thamanina Jaldatan". Flog them with 80 stripes. Beat them in falaqa, beat them in public. And look if there will be a single man outside the next night? But the ones in power are bandits too! They corrupted the honour of humanity. They have the nature of that shameless man called Uj ibn 'Anaq. He would go around all the bakeries, eat all of it & then cry out, "I am hungry". Uj, yes. Prophet Moses caught him and said... His height almost reached all the way to the sky. He would go around all the bakeries and shout "I am hungry". Read the history, read the old books instead of reading novels, wandering idle in the streets, O shamess ones! There is no school! It raises animals, not man! The maktabs (schools) of the 21st century produce freeloaders. They raise freeloaders. They raise ill mannered, shameless ones. "Fajliduhum". Beat them in falaqa! "'Aw Yunfaw Mina Al-'Ardi"(5:33) Beat the soles of their feet. If they still don't behave sensibly, exile them. Take them up to the mountains and leave them there. Will they come to their senses or not? They collect them and put in prison now. Why should you put them in prisons? Load them in a truck and take them up to the mountains. The bears will eat them. Jackals, hyenas may eat them. Man has an honour. They can't teach that honour, all of them are freeloaders. "Wa 'An Laysa Lil'insani 'Illa Ma Sa'a" (53:39) Almighty Rabbu-l Izzat says, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala: man has nothing other than what he works and earns. He should work and eat. There is no freeloading in Islam. Democracy, Dirt-ocracy. May they boil in its filth. They invented democracy. Meaning they brought up a freeloading group. They made the honourable Man lose his humanity. "Wa 'An Laysa Lil'insani 'Illa Ma Sa'a". Man's gain is only for what he works and earns. He takes the return of his work. Therefore none of those who go out in the streets are Muslims. "Wa 'An Laysa Lil'insani 'Illa Ma Sa'a". If they still don't learn - "Fajliduhum". Beat them in falaqa, discipline them. Discipline them. Prophet Adam came out from the heavens with a stick. When he was asked "What is this for, O Prophet Adam", he said: "This is the power that disciplines the ill mannered ones, the ones who go astray". "Fajliduhum Thamanina Jaldatan". Put them in falaqa and beat them on the soles of their feet. Or "'Aw Yunfaw Mina Al-'Ardi". Exile them into the mountains. Exile who you catch in the mountains. But they make corruption everywhere. Yes! These ones don't know the honour of humanity. Teach them. O our Lord, forgive us. O Shah Mardan! The order and judgement belongs to Shah Mardan. Send us such a Sultan. We have everything. "What do you do?" "I have no job". But you have the need to excrete, O ill mannered one! Can there be a man without a job in dunya? Even the donkey has a job yet you say "I have no job". O all people! This is the order coming to the Prophets from above: Give to who works. There is no freeloading in Islam. If they don't learn, "Fajliduhum". Beat them on the soles of their feat, beat them in falaqa. The Turkish government was happy because they removed the falaqa. Take it now! They removed the falaqa in the Turkish Republic and now they can't handle the people. How can they? "Bal Hum 'Adallu". The people now are lower than the animals. "'Aw Yunfaw www.saltanat.orgpage 5
Mina Al-'Ardi"(5:33) It says, exile them. To where? To the mountains, to the wild. See if they will behave sensibly or not. See if they say "I have no job" again. But what can you do? The people of the 21st century said "shaytan is our sultan". They keep what it says but don't keep the orders of Rabbu-l Izzat. They will do nothing but fight each other. Allahu Allah, Allahu Rabbi. Allahu Allah, Allahu Hasbi. O our Lord, may You not leave us in the hands of the dirty ego. Send us the Mighty Shah Mardan that he may discipline our ill manners. "What do you do?" "I have no job" Is that so? Even the donkey has a job, how can you not have? But they are made to get accustomed to it, to freeloading. They won't learn. Then, "Fajliduhum Thamanina Jaldatan". Beat them in falaqa. Can he ever say "I don't have a job" after this? They will all come to their senses. O our Lord,You are al-qadiru l-muqtadir. If You order one of Your weak servants he can discipline all of these people. No one can say "I have no job" then. If he has no work, lay him down here. Put his feet in the falaqa and beat! Can he go out in the streets another night? Their women went out into the streets. When you catch them, their punishment is take them to a graveyard and leave them there. Take them to the graveyard, throw them there and see if there is any woman outside the next night? Everything is in our Shariat. Mankind is disobedient, he becomes friends with shaytan. They will come to their senses. The Sahibu-l Waqt is coming. O Shah Mardan, this field belongs to you. May you send the holy servants who will discipline us. May our day be good, may it be honoured. May our work be servanthood to our Lord. O our Lord, may You forgive us. May You send us a Sultan. You are the Qadir and the Muqtadir. Go ahead, O Shah Mardan. Reach to our aid for the honour of the Beloved (sas). Fatiha. Don't put the women in jail. Put who you catch in the street into the graveyard and see how many of them will remain till the morning. Allahu Allah, Allahu Rabbi. Allahu Allah, Allahu Hasbi. May You not leave us to our dirty ego Ya Rabbi. May You send the Sultan who will discipline our dirty ego, Ya Rabbi. Fatiha. Why should you beat them? Because they are "'Ula'ika Kal 'an'ami Bal Hum 'Adallu". Even an animal works and eats but these want to eat without working. The freeloaders of the 21st century are lower than animals. May Allah not make us from them. Fatiha.
