Lamp Oil - Lamba suyu - كاز القنديل

As-Salamu Alaikum. O servants of Allah, marhaban bikum. Marhaba/greetings to you. Madad, madad. There are holy ones who are the ahl al-imdad/who can give support. And whatever is granted from the holy ones to us according to our situation, only a spot.. So we sit here & speak of them. They are making us speak. We may say, we may open the door- the key to every door is Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Say it, how beautiful it is. When one says Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim there are no troubles, no qaswat/ hardness left for that person. There is no hopelessness left, no burdens on him left, no ugliness left, no sufferings left for him. Allah! Let us say, Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Who remembers the Holy Name of Allah Almighty & does not find comfort it means nothing... That person has a big trouble. They said dunya is the land of difficulties. Dunya is not something to be sought. No. They call it "the land of difficulties". Dunya- in every step you take you stumble over something, it gives you a trouble. Why? A person who runs after dunya will be humiliated, even if he has as much wealth as Qarun. Qarun is a symbol of wealth for mankind. That the keys of his treasuries, a big group of animals would carry. And the largest of the keys was like a finger. So much treasure.. What happened? What did these treasures do to him? Humiliated him! He was humiliated. The wealth he had was not given to anyone else. And what did this wealth do to him? Humiliated him. The earth swallowed him. He sank into the earth along with his treasures. Because he didn't enter the service of the Almighty, Al-Bari (swt). He came to the great Prophet Musa, ala Nabi Alayhi Salatu was-Salam, in pride. He said "I have all these treasures. I don't need to listen to you or to keep your orders. I live as I like. My treasures are countless". He said "Me, me, me...I have this, I have that.." Even if the whole world belonged to him, what good would it do? If whole world turned into precious stones & belonged to him, what was going to happen? Here, who is the richest man in the world? Qarun. They say "he is rich like Qarun". Did we say the Bismillah? Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Say this & have no fear. Your doings are solid. "Kullu amrin dhi balin lam yubda' bi Bismillahi fa huwa abtar". Look, it is the word of our Prophet (sas), "whichever work it is that it doesn't start with the Bismillah it is cut off". Meaning, when it is cut off, it doesn't produce. It doesn't bring any generation, nothing comes after him. Nothing. When you say abtar, barren. It won't have anything, no child or no generations. Allah Almighty warns His servants. 124 000 Prophets came, all of them to make the people say "Allah". Shame on the people that they refused to say Allah. They said "Shaytan. Shaytan shows us the beautiful way. He shows us the entertainment & fun part of the dunya life. He shows us how we will enjoy & take pleasure in dunya". Then what happens? He throws you into a filth which no doctors or judges can save you from. There is no one answering his cries. His cries reach to the skies but there is no one to answer. Because he didn't care for his Lord. He didn't say Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. He didn't say "I am the servant of Allah, I am created to make servanthood for Allah". For what are you created? He says "I am created for my pleasure- the more pleasure I take or the more wealth I collect.. Here is the example of Qarun- he collected & it collapsed on his head. The earth swallowed him with his treasures. The people, the people in this time are not thinking about such things. They are all in meaningless pursuit. America says "I am rich". Russia says "I am richer". Iran says "No, I have treasures". The ones in Hijaz say "No, we have lamp oil under the ground". It was the lamp oil before in our times. They say "Me!" they sell lamp oil. It means.. I may tell you something & you laugh a bit. In the old times Feridun, my son Mehmet, when we were small there was no electricity. We would light candles, lamps, in the streets, in the neighborhoods, every where.. I remember there was an old Greek man. He would call, I still remember his voice calling "Petroleum". Petroleum, meaning petrol. He would sell lamp oil, the poor man. He had a gallon in his hand made of zinc. And there was lamp oil in it. And he had a scale for it. And that old man would call "petroleum, there is lamp oil." Everyone would use lamp oil Feridun, we would use lamp oil. I still remember it. That old man was a Greek citizen of ours We would get along well- Greeks & Muslims. We would respect each other. We would get along well. That one, he was old. He had glasses. I still remember it. "Petroleum." He was maybe 70 years old, maybe 80 years old. The little old man had lamp oil things in his hand like this. He had containers & in them the lamp oil. So he would make his living by selling it. He would make enough to manage the whole month. Masha Allah the ones now, the men who are in the way of that man who sold lamp oil are so proud now: "We have this much petrol, we have this much lamp oil." May it be poured over their heads! (Calling like the old man) Petroleum.. Now all Arabia, Iran.. Only poor Turks are left... They can't sell lamp oil but they buy it. They also make it run through the pipes & we buy from the pipes, from the free side. Iran is proud, all these kingdoms & emirates & so on, are proud. In what do they take pride? (Calling like the old man) "Petroleum, I sell petrol". Look what I remember from my childhood is a lesson for the people. That man would make his living out of it & we had simple lamps, candles in our homes. Our life was simple but sweet. At that time we needed maybe 5 things, now we need maybe 500 things. Whatever you do, it needs electricty or petrol. You need petrol. These ones are called "oil rich", may they fall into it. He got rich from oil & what did he do? Qarun saved & went deep under earth. Our people don't draw any lesson from the past. They don't teach the history. They are occupying themselves with all kinds of things in this shaytan box all night- from morning to night, from night till morning. It shows their lives, this what they call TV! Then you... La hawla wa la quwwata.. Ibrahim ibn Adham Hz, may Allah make his abode paradise, there were 12 000 dogs to watch his herds- Hashakum. He was rich. Most of the old Kings, Sultans had an interest in hunting. Hunting is halal/permitted. So he, Ibrahim ibn Adham Hz, the Sultan.. Is it not so O Ruqiyya? H.R. Yes. M. One day he went hunting. He was hunting with his entourage as it was a custom for the Sultans. He is a Sultan too. He was hunting like the wind with his entourage in the deserts, in the forests. His time has come. When he was riding full force at top speed, from this side a voice came to his ears. It said: "O Sultan, are you created for this?" The word on this side finished. From this side to his second ear: "Aw bi hadha-l umirt? A-li hadha khuliqt, aw bi hadha-l umirt? Are you created for this? Or are you ordered for this?" it said. He stopped his horse & returned to the palace. This was enough for him. Ibrahim ibn Adham, Sultan Ibrahim. His tomb is in Latakia. Is it not so O Ruqiyya? H.R. Yes. M. He has a mosque in that place. It is a majestic mosque. I visited Sultan Ibrahim AlHamdulillah, the holy one. He left everything. He said "I don't need them, this word is enough for me". Really people don't know why they are created. They don't search, they don't want to learn. This is for all people. O people! Are you created for these fights & wars? Or "Wa Ma Khalaqtu Al-Jinna Wa Al-'Insa 'Illā Li Ya`buduni" (51:56). I created the men & jinns to worship Me" says Allah Almighty. Where are you O people? You are killing, burning, destroying each other & claim to be human. The animals in the jungles are better than you! They don't take pride in their wealth or power,they just wander in the jungle. This is the civilization of today's people, this is what they follow. Where did it take you in the end? This is the way of shaytan. And shaytan brought them to this in the end & made them fall into this deadlock. Now there is such a blind knot that it can't be untied. How can you untie it? Where can you untie it? How can you untie it... La hawla wa la quwwata.. La hawla wa la quwwata.. May Allah grant us His servanthood. May we be servants to our Lord. The honoured life is this- servanthood for Allah. O people, stand for the worship of Allah. Allah grants you the sweetest life. Your dunya & akhirah be prosperous. Ya Rabbi! Tubna wa Raja'na ilayk. Tawba Ya Rabbi, tawba Astaghfirullah. Our Egyptians don't understand, our westerners don't understand, the ones in Hijaz, in Sham don't understand. There is no one who understands in Turkey, Iran, India or China. Shaytan made people fall into a fight- "With which weapon will we finish each other?" With the chemical weapons! "We can't handle them, so from above we poison the air & all of them will be poisoned". Is it you who granted them life? Who gave you the authority to kill these people? You shameless ones, you who don't fear from Allah. "I will discipline you with such a discipline that who sees it, who hears it, will know and remember it. I will show them the result of being animals of shaytan. All the world turned into a slaughter- house. It fell into total madness where they all cut, break, crush, kill each other & they went totally crazy. They asked "How many kinds of craziness are there?" "3 kinds". "What are they?" "Crazy, then totally crazy, then totally & utterly crazy". Before there were crazy ones & very few totally crazy ones. But the people now passed over these stages, they became totally & utterly crazy. They are on the 3rd stage, totally & utterly crazy. "We are Kings, we are Presidents".. Say this when you go to your graves. O our Lord, may You grant us repentance. May You send us a Sultan who will be our Master, for the honour of Your Beloved. For the honour of Your Beloved O Lord, may You send us a Sultan. What can we do, our word doesn't reach from here to the door. O Allah, O Allah.. Tawba Ya Rabbi. Tawba Ya Rabbi. Tawba Ya Rabbi. And all the people, because they are without the Bismillah, whichever home you go to they have all kinds of troubles. Some of them have a remedy, some of them don't. The least of their troubles is: "What is your son doing?" "My son & daughter went to college but they can't find a job". This is it. There is no one who says "We are studying for Allah, let us be in the service of Allah". They try to be employed by the government & get paid without doing much. May Allah grant us a share from this advice & know ourselves. Tawba Ya Rabbi. Tawba Ya Rabbi. Tawba Astaghfirullah. Shukur Ya Rabbi. Fatiha. Aman Ya Rabbi. This is a strange sohbat. Ok, go on. May Allah give you safety. May our day be good. May we live in the way of Allah. May we leave dunya in the way of Allah, Ya Rabbi. Read for me Mehmet. May our only worry be Your servanthood O Lord, may we not be crushed in troubles. Let us be busy with Your Servanthood. How beautiful. O Lord, forgive us for the honour of Your Beloved. We ask your intercession O Rasulullah. Fatiha.
