O our Lord, give Your most high praisings and glorifying to Your Divinely deputy from pre-Eternal up to Eternal and grant us for his honor to be his real followers. May Allah forgives us. (Mawlana sits). And we are saying our salute to holiest one on this planet, Qutbul Mutassarrif, Sahibuz Zamaan, to look after humble meeting and we are asking from his holiness heavenly support. May be that support weakest support, but taking ourselves to heavenly centers. Therefore, we are needy to reach such a one who he is responsible and muktadir, able to take ourselves up.

O People, ask to reach upper levels and stations. That is our good effort, or best effort, that we may use it to climb from our level to another level. And we are saying, As-Salaamu 'alaykum, our attenders who asking more an unchangeable and everending honor and pleasure and satisfaction and praisings from the Lord of Heavens. Give an attention and say, Audhu billahi minash shaytan ir rajeem. You must be wakened one, waked one. Awakened, awake. Don't be heedless, but you must try to be awakened one. Yes. As salaamu 'alaykum to those, also, whom they are interesting to be something. Everyone interesting for something. Heh? To be your interest for something neverending, you must be interested for Eternity. If you are not interesting for Eternity, you are going to be dust. Nas an masiyya.

O Salafi 'ulamas, welcome, Say! Bismillahi r-Rahmaan ir Raheem for the honor of the Lord of Heavens, stand up! You are claiming that you are 'ulamas and your level, you are thinking that, "Our level over anyone now living through ummah." Yes. And may reach to two words from Holy Qur'an, that is mentioned through Holy Qur'an for Sayyida Maryam. She was saying,”Wa kunta nasiyyan mansiyya”, If only I was a thing forgotten, unknown”. What does it mean? Write a book on it, not to look other books and making copies something, no. From yourself, what you are understanding, “wa kunta nasiyyan mansiyya - If only I was a thing forgotten, unknown. It is mentioned for Jesus Christ's Mother, Sayyidina Maryam, she was saying, "I wish to be nasiyyan mansiyya." That is an ocean, subhaanallah, Shaykh Hisham Effendi.

For what she said that, kunta nasiyyan mansiyya? That is her wish tamani?, another word? (desire) More deeply. She was saying, "I wish not to be in existence, to be unknown." Because to be known through our real being that belongs to our spirituality. Second, to be known from our material being. She was asking to be nasiyyan mansiyya. She was asking not to be known through Creation. She was asking to be Heavenly Oceans, to be in that oceans that no one except her Creator, the Lord of Heavens, knowing her. And she was asking nothing, "I wish to be nothing!" But Shaytan, trying to make people to wish to be something, and she was asking to be nothing. Mansiyya, mansiyya, unknown, unknown. "I never like to be known. I wish to be through Unity Oceans of the Lord of Heavens, not to be known. Not to be known as a creature. No. I wish to be Heavenly Oceans, to be through Heavenly Oceans that no one knowing. I wish to be unknown!" And that is highest adab for servant. Servant never likes to show himself or herself in Divinity.

There are, O Salafi 'ulamas, two kinds of oceans. Bahrul-wahdaaniyya - Ocean of Oneness and second, Bahrul Ahadiyya, oceans that belongs to wahdaniyya, Oneness, Oneness, that everyone appearing there. Appearing a spot, wujud, everyone asking to be through that ocean with his personality. But she was saying, "I don't like it. I don't like it; I like to be second oceans of wahdaaniyya, Oneness, Absolut Oneness. Not to be in my Lord's Divinely Presence, not to be seen. I don't like. I like to be," That is maqam that Salafi ulamas always objecting on it, fana'un fillah annhiliation in Allah's Divine Presence. Always they are objecting on that point because they like to be seen as a creature in that ocean.

They don't like to be nothing, fana'un fillah (annhiliation in Allah's Divine Presence), fanau'n fir-rasool (annhiliation in Presence of Prophet), fana'un fil-mashaykh (annhiliation in Shaykh's presence). But they like to be something. And Sayyidatina Maryam, Allah blesses her with such a blessings that no any one reach to that blessings. But our 'ulamas, always they are asking, ithbaat al-wujood - confirmation of existence, They like to bring themselves in existence to be seen. But the Lord of Heavens, He never likes that. He is asking la ilaha ila alam, ila alam? Therefore, even an atom to be in existence, He never likes. Therefore, it is a big teaching that Mankind now always asking to be seen in existence, to be honored and to be presented or to be just rewarded so many things, they are asking to be for them. They are never asking to be nothing, nasiyyan mansiyyan.

Therefore, teaching Maryam to whole ppl, you must ask to Divinely Presence of your Lord, not to be shayan madhkoora - a thing recalled or named or remembered. Ayatul Kareema. That is highest grant from Lord to His creatures, nasiyyan mansiyya, finished.

A drop coming from up, reaching to ocean and becoming nasiyyan mansiyya. Highest adab, you are saying la sharikallah, O salafi ulamas, laa sharikallah? But our egos never accepting that, and saying, "No, we are here also, we are in existence." They are asking to be in existence for themselves, never asking to be nasiyyan mansiyya, and that is biggest trouble for ourselves, here and hereafter. If you are going to sacrifice yourself, sacrificing, then you are reaching real tawheed Oneness. They are saying, they are making me to speak to you, to our people, but this a little bit higher level. But people, mostly, common people like ourselves, asking to, proof, wujud. Yes, they like to show their existence, "I am here also, If You are there, I am here also”.

That is the sources for problems on this planet. Therefore, the Seal of Prophets, he was saying, this a big lesson for people, but people, they are not looking, they are not asking what the main target. Main target. they are thinking that "if we reached to 100 lbs, tomorrow must be 200." No, material things is dirtiness, and most expensive is our spirituality. And now, people, all of them running after materiality. Yes. Therefore, their trouble everending, either here or after this jumping place. We are jumping, everyone reaching and jumping for another level. Some of them may not up, may jump up, some of them, because they are carrying heavy burden and heavy burden, that is this world's aspects and our egoistic talab, desires, making people to fall down. Yes.

A hen can't fly, falling down. But an eagle, its reach more than this, flying up. And prepare yourself. Try to reach higher stations, higher levels, highest, highest, highest levels. It is open. No closed, it is open for Mankind as much as they can ask, they may get up. But mostly people, they are like a good hen, can't walk, not to fly, can't fly. But a sparrow, brrrr (like bird taking off) Why you are carrying so many heaviness with you? What is heaviness, O salafi ulama?, is dunya. Why you are not leaving dunya for mawla? Leave dunya for mawla. You may prefer either mawla or dunya. But people now, they Ad-dunya jeefatun - This world is a carcass are preferring dunya. They are running after it, and shaytan, it is dirty and it calls people to dirtiness. Calling people for dunya. Mawla is the one who takes care of you, dunya is jeefa, carcass. Shaytan calling people to carcass.

O Muslims! Why you are keeping that dirtiness? Why you are not giving them for the sake of your Lord, Mawlana comes from the word mawla (is the one who takes care of you), Almighty Allah. Think on it, think on it. Before Last Day and Last Hour and last moment reaching to you. May Allah forgives us for the honor of most hhonored one, (Mawlana stands) Sayyidina Muhammad saws (Mawlana sits) Fatiha.

(Mawlana prays 2 raka'at salat ash shukr) Fatiha.
