What have I done for Allah today?

Allahumma salli ala S.Muhammadin an Nabiyi-l Ummi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallim

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Aziz Allah

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Karim Allah

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Subhan Allah,

Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Sultan Allah

Anta hasbunallah wa nimal Wakil wa la haula wa la quwatta illa bi-llahi-l Ayliyu-l Azim

Ya Rabbana, Anta Rabbuna, Anta hasbuna, anta Waliyuna, Anta Maulana!

Subhanaka, Allahumma, wa bihamdik wa tabaraka ismuka wa taala djadduka, jalla thanauka wa la ilaha gairuka, Ant-Allah, Ant-Allah, Ant-Allah, Ant-Allah!

Fa'alu li ma yurid. Ya Allah, if'al bina maa Anta lahu bihi ahlu wa la taf'al bina man nahnu bihi ahlu, innaka Anta ahlu-l taqwira wa ahlu-l magfira,

Fatiha.

Ah, ya Rabbi,Shukr!

Audhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, la haula wa la quatta illa bi-llahi-l 'Aliyu-l 'Azim

As-salat wa salam 'ala S.Muhammadin, Sayyidi-l awwalina wa-l akhirien, arsaltahu rahmatan li-l 'alamien wa shafian li-l mudhnibien, akhshurna tahta liwaihi Yaumu Din.

Ya Rabbi-gfir wa-rham wa Anta Khairu Rahimien, wa la u'dwana illa ala dhalimien, tabarakta, Gabbana, wa ta-alayta, laka-l hamdu 'ala ma qadaita, nastagfiruka Allahumma, wa natubu ilayk, wa salla-llahu ala Nabiyi-l Ummihi wa â€˜ala alihi wa sahbihi ajmain.

Nabiyun Mujahidun! Jahada fi sabili-llahi li ajli i'lai kalimati-llahi jalla jalaluhu, jallat azamatuhu wa la ilaha gairuhu. Aqbil ma'diratana, ya Rabbana, nahnu â€˜ibaduka duafa wa-l fuqara, irham da'fana, ya Allah.

Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah,

As-salamu alaikum, ma sha Allah! Audhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim,

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.

We are so useless ones (yaramaz)! like naughty children, doing so many useless things and Allah didn't create us for doing useless things but for doing something useful. He wants us to do something beneficial, not nonsense things. You see it with children: when they are naughty, bad mannered, rebellious or even malicious, they are disliked and not beloved. No one likes naughty or bad mannered children and also Allah doesn't like such servants. May Allah not make us to be from them, but to be from the good ones, this is a big honour!

People are only busy with decorating themselves, they are giving too much importance how they are dressing. But important in Allah's Presence is your spiritual being, not your physical being. If the physical body had any value, they would have already established a market for buying and selling dead bodies, but no one is asking for a dead body. This physical body has no value- and we know this also, but- where is our attention? With our physical body or with Allah? They may put so beautiful dresses on the body, but still it has no value. 24 hours they are only thinking: "What shall I eat and drink and dress today?" All these efforts are for nothing, because the body will finish in the cemetery.

What are we doing for Allah?

Every day in the nighttime ask yourself: "What did I do for Allah?...

Eh, the whole day I collected paper! What kind of paper? Newspaper? No, money! There was one of our 'intelligent' brothers who brought a bundle of used banknotes to me, which he had collected, washed and ironed, instead of exchanging it in the bank for new unused banknotes!

People are so busy to take money to the bank and to save, they are obsessed by it, and it is not a good attribute. Why do you hold back the money in banks? I am saying to them: "Give me your paper-money, I will exchange it for you for Akhirat-gold", but people are refusing and ask: "How it can be?" "Give me your paper-money for the sake of Allah, and you will have exchanged it for the gold of Akhirat." But the people don't accept such an exchange. "Use your money for the sake of Allah here, and in Akhirat you will find it with interest as gold. On the other side banknotes and credit cards have no more value."

People's hands are trembling, when they have to give even 5 Liras. And if you will give gold here for the sake of Allah, you will find gold in the Akhirat as its interest. Also credit cards are useless on the other side! But people are like drunk now.

They told me that in Istanbul a factory burnt down with goods of a value of 25o Milliards Turkish Lira inside. The owner had been hesitating and missed to pay the 6 Milliards, the Zakat he was supposed to pay, and now this happened to him. To pay the Zakat is an order of Allah, but the people don't give and this is the reason of so many misfortunes and catastrophes coming on people. And the fire will continue to burn. Who is not keeping the orders of Allah and is rebellious and against His Laws is in danger. Which government is keeping Allah’s Orders? Today we are in Dunya, but tomorrow already we are in Akhirat. What we are doing here today, will be shown to us tomorrow in Akhirat. We are not respecting Allahs Laws. What we did here will become obvious and we will see it in the Day of Judgment. It will become obvious like it is with the people in hospital under these x-ray machines.

There is one word of Rabia Adawiyya: "Laissa-l 'Id liman labis-l jaded wa lakina-l 'Id liman kana wa la ya'id." - "Bayram is not for those, who just change a dress, but for those who were in a state they left and don't return back to it."

It means something like: Bayram is for those, who are sincerely repenting and who are keeping the way of servanthood. But for those, who are running after the ego, to fulfil all its desires, there is no Bayram. May Allah not look to our useless deeds!

You know the cave of the Ashabu- Kahf on the mountain in Tarsus (South of Turkey)? You can enter the cave up to a certain point, then it is closed, because the people cannot carry the Heybet, the spiritual power, of the Ashabu Khaf, they would explode. 7 of this kind of Awliya would be enough for this world, to make all Dhalims (tyrants) to explode! People are going to be taken away. The fire has started. This fire in France, they are thinking it is made by human beings, but it has to do with the Jinns. It is coming on the people of France, because all the dirty things are coming from that country as a 'new fashion', starting with the French Revolution. Paris will burn. All the new fashion comes from there. No soldiers, no police can control it. You must fear Allah! Allah is punishing the Dhalim, the oppressors, and it will continue, until people repent, turn back to Allah and repent.

The fire is burning everywhere- it is a spiritual fire; there is not enough water even in all the oceans to extinguish this kind of fire. No one can be able to control this kind of fire, they cannot extinguish them. And no one knows where and when something is going to happen. Especially in the cities there is danger. A Hadith says that at the end of times people should leave the cities and find safety in the mountains. Don't look now for the old days of amusement anymore- they are finished. A fire will come that people have never seen before. O believers, turn to Allah! Leave the bad manners and rebellion against Allah!

May Allah forgive us and send us His Awliya with Heybet guide us. O Allah! Send the Padishah of Islam! Allah's Word, His Promise, will come true. Allah will take all the dirty ones away. Whoever is carrying dirt from the people, will be taken away- the X is on them, they are marked. It is not a joke! You cannot fight against Allah! May Allah Allah send us the Sahibu Zaman.

Fatiha.
