The Armies of Islam - Esker'i İslam - عساكر الإسلام

O beloved brethren of Shah Mardan. Greetings of peace should proceed any speech. Peace be upon you! Greetings of peace are a dress of honor granted to the believers by Allah Most High who bears the majestic Name as-Salam. "As-salamu 'alaykum" dresses the believers the moment they say it in a robe of safety. For that reason, to offer one another abundant greetings of peace provides strength to our physical being, strengthens our faith and increases our love and affection. As-salamu 'alaykum, o attendees. Who is present in this assembly? O beloved brethren of Shah Mardan. It is the one, who serves as the ideal blueprint for all believers, it is Shah Mardan. His path is the general path of believers. His path, Shah Mardan's path, is the path suitable for all believers. The beginning of this path is "Bismi-Llāhi r-Rahmāni r-Rahīm". Pronounce the noble Basmalah and every action becomes effortless and easy. Let us listen to the wonderful sayings of Shah Mardan! Those who love him, those, who want to be his close companions, are lions keeping the company of a lion. Who runs with the foxes is a fox. Who runs with the wolves is a wolf. Who runs with the foxes is a fox. Who runs with the dogs is a dog. What befits man is the company of lions. The one representing the lion in the age of our distinguished Master, the Prophet, was the noble 'Ali, Shah Mardan. And this is valid for all times. His attribute of being a lion remains unaffected by age, he is a young, youthful lion. If he attacks, setting his foot on the ground, Shah Mardan's footstep reaches from the place of sunrise in the Hijaz to where the sun sets in the West. Such an ocean of spiritual power. Where does he take it from? "Bismi-Llāhi r-Rahmāni r-Rahīm", which Allah, the Majestic, presented to our noble Master. "Bismi-Llāhi r-Rahmāni r-Rahīm", that's where he takes it from. We belong to his beloved brethren, we are among his lovers and love his way. Welcome, Shah Mardan, the realm is all yours. From the beginning of this world til its end, this realm is all yours. Mā shā' Allāh, lā quwwata illa bi-Llāhi l-‘Aliyyu l-‘Azīm. Let's say "Bismi-Llāhi r-Rahmāni r-Rahīm". Opening everything, unlocking every treasure: "Bismi-Llāhi r-Rahmāni r-Rahīm". Who is a true believer? The one, who says, "Bismi-Llāhi r-Rahmāni r-Rahīm". Who doesn't say it is no true believer. Of this life, there are two kinds. Madad, o Shah Mardan. For mankind in this world there is a good life or a bad life. There is a good life or a detestable life. O human being, endowed with intelligence, o beloved brethren of Shah Mardan, Listen, understand and put it into practice. Listen well, o foolish ones! Those staying far from the circle of Shah Mardan's assembly outwardly appear to be human beings but in reality they have turned into animals. Become a human being! When you came into this world, the Lord of Might clad you in a robe of highest honor. The dress in which man was clad, no other creation was dressed in it. All other creatures walk on four legs, except for man who walks upright. Man represents in his stature the shape of the arabic letter "Alif". Man is like the letter "Alif". What does this point to? It points towards heavens as well as bearing witness to the majestic Lord of Might's absolute Singularity and Oneness. With our upright posture we continuously bear witness. With every step our stature of standing upright on our feet bears witness. But the heedless ones can't understand this. They quarrel without end, demanding to be counted among the category of quadrupeds; heedless people who quarrel over this world to be accepted in the category of quadrupeds. Don't be a four legged animal! You possess an honor. "Wa fī s-samā’i rizqukum wa mā tu‘adūn" (and in the heaven is your provision and that which you are promised) (51:22) Isn't it? "Your provision", He says, "is in the heaven." He sends it down. While the provision of animals comes out of the ground. Part of the perfection of man is that his provision is sent down from heaven. Who is addressed with "and in the heaven is your provision"? The son of man. Don't rush about, "how will I make a living"? Don't fall into despair, "What shall I eat?" "Wa mā khalaqtu l-jinna wa l-insa illa li-ya‘abudūn" (and I created the jinn and mankind only that they may worship Me) (51:56) "Mā urīdu minhum min rizqin wa mā urīdu ‘an yut‘imūn" (I seek no provision from them, nor do I ask that they feed Me.) (51:57) "I have ceated the sons of man as well as the jinn for My servanthood, to engage in service to Me, to gain honor. "In heaven is your provision and that which you are promised. "Don't sleep! O beloved brethren listening to Shah Mardan, how beautiful you are! How clean you are! How intelligent you are! They are the ones, who are intelligent. Who is intelligent? The ones who believe in Allah. Who is stupid and disreputable? Those who are in denial. They are below the level of animals. "Ulā’ika ka l-an‘ām bal hum adall"Those are like cattle;they are even worse7:179 "they are even worse!" O human being, "Iqtarabati s-sā‘atu wa-nshaqqa l-qamar" (The hour is drawing near and the moon has been cleft in two.) (54:1) O people, Judgment Day has come near, the moon has been split. Does the moon split? By the order of Allah it splits. These little men, these midgets of our age, don't appreciate any spiritual power. They don't use their comprehension in a way that befits their rank. The people of this age tread the path of the lowest of creatures. Chasing after carcasses they are eager to grab a bone or some kind of fodder. O human being! Allah, the Majestic, invested man with such lofty appearance that the noble angels were baffled. "I will make him My representative on earth", He said. Such a beautiful appearance He awarded Adam and his children, that all creation was baffled. Even the angels were baffled. O adherents to previous scriptures! Is this not written in your books? It's written, read it! According to your beliefs, o you, who believe in the prophet 'Īsā (Jesus), he, the prophet Īsā, called you to Allah. How did he call you? "He rang the church bells." Allah Allah! Did the prophet ‘Īsā ring the church bells? Did prophet ‘Īsā ever in his lifetime ring the church bells? Where did these church bells come from? Tell me! Let his excellency, the Pope, explain it. What is religion? What is faith? Who is a legally accountable person? Amongst all beings created by Allah, man holds a rank even higher than the angels. Such is the value of man. Are you declaring this? "Yes, we declare the sanctity of the human being." But declaring the sanctity of the human being does not belong to those things man is authorized to do. Granting the human being sanctity is something that comes from heavens. A man we have appointed cannot grant us sanctity. Who granted him sanctity? Meaning, "who made him sacred?" Sacredness comes from heaven. Man on earth cannot award sacredness. Only those exeptional personalities who receive heavenly orders can declare the sanctity of man, invest him with sacredness. Our fake titles cannot award sacredness to people, nor does ringing church bells lead mankind into an ambience of spirituality. Say it, o his excellency, the Pope! So many people look up to you. Can you only chat about petty things every day? Let him say it. Today is a new day. If there are any possessors of power, holding sanctity and sacredness in their hands, let them address the people. What will be the first words of their address? "O man, say 'Lā ilāha illa-Llāh' and give to the King of Messengers, the one holding the highest rank among all prophets, Allah's Beloved, the right he deserves, which is 'Muhammadu r-Rasūlu-Llāh' (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), he, who was an orphaned child, a boy who had no parents, an orphan who had lost his mother as well as his father. He had never even seen his father, and in his early childhood, at the age of seven, his honorable mother, the blessed Lady Amina, who had given birth to Muhammad (Allah bless him and grant him peace) left him also. Think about it, o western people! In the Arabian deserts 1500 years ago an orphan boy appeared in this world, came forth into the public view. "Come on, are there no other people in this world?" Those great men, who think they are great or struggle to be considered great, are nothing but fools. They themselves are fools, who in their foolishness are trying to fool other fools by showing off how great they are. Idiots! Well, real greatness is sent down from heaven. Greatness does not come out of the ground. The robe of real greatness descends from heaven and Allah, the Majestic Exalted, dresses whom He wants with it. O people of this world, O you, immersed in confusion! From the middle of the Arabian desert - just think about it - deep inside the Arabian desert appears an orphan boy, an orphan, and he grows up. His honorable mother and his father even earlier had been taken up into the realm of the divine dominion. His honorable mother was taken when he was six years old, wasn't she? And he remained an orphan child. Watch out! O mankind, confused by Shaytan puffing you up with pride! There was this child, left behind as an orphan, who grew up and became known among his own people as Muhammad as-Sadiq (the truthful) (upon him be peace). Until he reached the age of forty (everyone said,) "O truthful youth", about this man who never spoke a lie, Sayyidinā Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). "So what's the news?" "Did he possess sacredness?", we ask. I am asking the Christian world, those who say, "we believe in the prophet ‘Īsā." Prophet ‘Īsā said "wa mubashshiram bi- rasūlin ya’ti min ba‘dī" (I am bringing good news of a messenger who will come after me) (61:6) He, the prophet ‘Īsā, came to bring the good tidings of "a prophet who will come after me". Yes. That child in the desert, who at seven years became an orphan, having lost both his parents. Think about it, o mankind! If he did not possess sacredness, could his words and the Majestic Qur'an, which was revealed to him have shaken the whole world? Tell us, his Excellency, the Pope! Show us the right way! If you don't show it, we'll help you into your shoes. Sacredness is not something distributed by popes. This gesture does not award sacredness, nor does ringing the church bells. He should give sincere advice every day. If there is a man on this earth, he should give advice to these people daily It is from the Sultan of the path of Allah's Beloved, Shah Mardan. He is authorized to speak. He is able to address and on his behalf I am admonishing mankind. "Be careful!" "Does the Shaykh know English?" Well, he does. Is it something, to know English? Does it earn one any rank? If he knows seven languages, maybe you know seventy languages. If you don't know the language of the Qur’an, all this has no value. There is the barking of the dogs, the dogs have their language. Cats have their language. Wolves have their language. Elephants have their language, even snakes have their language. There is no creature without a language, because everything praises Allah. "Wa in min shay’in illa yusabbihu bi- hamdih" (There is not a single thing that does not proclaim His praise) (17:44) Isn't that the verse? Each creature praises the One who created it and expects divine favours from Him. So don't put yourself in the place of God! Shaytan put forward his demand, "I want to be master of all creation." He was told, "You can't, you can't be that one. He is to be the sultan of the descendants of Adam, whom I have made My representative. From where does this honor of being representative come? From the Master of all creation (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). "Wa idh qāla Rabbuka li l-malā’ikati (When your Lord told the angels) innī jā‘ilun fīl-ardi khalīfa"(verily,I am setting on the earth a khalifa)(2:30 These are eternal words. O scholars of al-Azhar, don't doze! Ayqaz! (Wake up!) Don't doze, say it! Allah didn't say "khulafā’"-viceregents but "innī jā‘ilun fī l-ardi khalīfa." "Ardu-Llāhi wāsi‘a" (Allah's earth is spacious) (39:10) There is a "harfu t-ta‘rīf" which generalizes, and there is also one, which makes definite, particular. He mentions "khalīfa" with "alif lām", making him particular, one person. Not all people are "khalīfa", no. "I am setting on earth a viceregent." "fī l-ardi - ardi", what is the earth which Allah, the Majestic, mentions? Is it this world? That one, whom Allah, the Majestic created with His power and who was made Allah's representative for however many creatures there may be, that seven year old child from the unknown deserts. He explained it. O people, say, "Lā ilāha illa-Llāh", jalla Jalāluhu, as well as, "Muhammadu r-Rasūlu-Llāh" "O My beloved servant, O my beloved, say it. Your saying 'Lā ilāha illa-Llāh' is perfect, I will perfect it for you - you should say, wa Muhammadu r-Rasūlu-Llāh, wa Muhammadun Habību-Llāh, Muhammadun Safiyyu-Llāh, Muhammadun Karīmu-Llāh'", At your service,O Sayyidī,yā Rasūla-Llāh (may Allah bless him & grant him peace) O scholars of al-Azhar, explain to us "Innī jā‘ilun fī l-ardi khalīfa". Explain to us its meaning. Inform those headless people and the ones ruling over them. You've made bad blood, claiming "you are great" and "I am great", but there can be no greatness for you. Greatness belongs to the one, whom Allah Almighty dressed with greatness and who is able to carry it, our most honorable and excellent Master (blessings and peace be upon him), the Master of all creation. That Master of all creation is not only the master of this world, but the master and sultan of all and everything that was created. Welcome, o Shah Mardan, how wonderful is your explanation! O you, who standing upright on his legs resembles the letter "alif", don't forget, that you represent the initial letter of the beautiful Name of Allah, the Supreme, exalted in His Highness! It is not fitting for you to be like animals. What befits you is to be like angels. You were created between the two, animal as well as angel. The animal side is our egotistic aspect. Sacredness lies in the spirituality of our souls. You must know, that complying with your ego will turn you into an animal. While by adhering to your spirituality, your spiritual side will lift you up to the realm of divine dominion. You'll reach the realm of divine dominion, where you'll realize the true rank of humankind and comprehend your honor. Religion does not work by ringing bells! Lift up the soul and call out, "Allāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar! Lā ilāha illa-Llāh, wa-Lllāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar, wa li-Llāhi l-hamd." Say it! If you don't say it, persisting in your religion, an affliction will appear. They'll cut your faculty of speech, until, on the day you die, you'll leave this world with your tongue cut completely. If you want to keep your tongue, say "Lā ilāha illa-Llāh Muhammadu r-Rasūlu-Llāh". Say it! "I am setting on the earth a khalīfa", He said. He didn't say "khulafā’". O scholars of al-Azhar, o scholars of Damascus, o scholars of east and west, listen, understand and enter the path of Allah's viceregent, the Sultan of all prophets. Allah Most High, exalted in His Majesty, declared, "wa mā ana bi-zallāmin li l-‘abīd."-and I am not unjust to My servants. (50:29) "I am not oppressing the servants. Far from it! I am not like those gods or lords who oppress; I have ordered justice." For that reason, what is the first fundamental rule in Islam? But those idiots don't know it and think they must look for a constitution. "Inna-Llāha ya’muru bi l-‘adl" (Verily, Allah enjoins justice) (16:90) This is the constitution of Islam. But these bandits say, "We will make a constitution." Well, for what you are 'making'? You'd better tie your trouser ends tight! Who are you to lay down a constitution? Indeed, they read Allah's divine constitution for all mankind every week from the pulpits. Our ‘ulamā’ (scholars) have also become hollow like pumpkins, while the rulers don't listen any more. But Allah's constitution is read every Friday, ordering: Asta‘īdhu bi-Llāh "Inna-Llāha ya’muru bil-‘adli wal-ihsāni wa ītā’i dhi l-qurbā" (Verily, Allah enjoins justice, excellence and charity to kinsfolk) "wa yanhā ‘ani l-fahshā’i wa l-munkari wa l-baghyi."(and forbids indecency, wickedness and oppression.) (16:90) That's it. This is what the whole world is in need of, and to follow it is obligatory. It is read every Friday on the pulpits, addressing the rulers in particular. "Verily, Allah enjoins justice, excellence and charity to kinsfolk", That's it! They must say it and explain it's meaning. Allah orders: "Justice is indispensable", He ordered justice which forbids oppression and prohibits every kind of oppression. He orders justice. So which of you, o Shias, o ‘Alawis, or Turks or Kurds, which one of you is listening to Allah’s words? O scholars, o you, who pass for scholars, you have to make it clear, this is the constitution of Islam, we read it every week." "Verily, Allah enjoins justice and excellence", justice is indispensable! Justice! Is there any nation left which still has this kind of Islam? Is there anyone among the Muslims nowadays guarding justice? The Persians are running from their country. In Syria people are being slaughtered.Is that justice? This is the kind of justice that suits them. One group calls itself authoritatively "Lashghar-i Yazdan" (army of God). Lashghar-i Yazdan? If Allah’s soldiers are like this, if Allah’s soldiers kill, burn and blow up whatever is in front of them, what kind of soldiers of Allah are these? They are soldiers of shaytan. They are not Lashghar-i Yazdan, they've turned into Lashghar-i shaytan. But they will be destroyed. "Az-zulmu lā yadūm wa in dāma dammar." Oppression cannot last. If it continues, it will be destroyed. He will destroy it. The blessed fortunate one will come. First of all he will take to account these liars who violently oppress and *** people, taking revenge on them. Rajab is approaching, let them beware. Allāhu ‘alā mā naqūlu Wakīl (Allah is the One overseeing what we say), hasbunā-Llāhu wa ni‘ma l-Wakīl (Allah suffices us and He is the best Guardian) O my Lord, forgive us! Send us a Sultan, the one who fulfills the prophecy of your most noble Beloved. Send us a Sultan, o my Lord! Send al-Mahdī (‘alayhi s-salām), o my Lord! Send Your Ottoman Sultans, o my Lord, who for a thousand years carried the banner of Islam, until in the end the apostates of Saloniki, collaborating with the Jews destroyed their Sultanate. But they blew up the world on top of their heads. Who destroyed the Ottomans who held high the banner of Islam for a thousand years who, with the sacrifice of 1,000s of martyrs brought the azan to central Europe, calling the Muhammadan battle cry? Let the Turkish nation know it! Let the Turkish ulema open their mouths! Who brought down the Ottomans?, The Ottomans, who upheld Allah’s rights and showed reverence for the religion, who brought down the Ottomans? The apostates of Saloniki brought them down. The instigation starting from Saloniki destroyed the mighty Ottomans. All nations were afflicted by their evil. But soon the wonderous events of Rajab will appear.The month of Rajab is drawing near. Beware, o rulers, if you want to stay alive! But there is someone telling us that there are seven amongst these kings, emirs, and presidents who won't live to see the coming Ramadān, because "az-zulmu la yadūm", oppression cannot last. Lashghar-i Yazdan, instead of being the army of God, have turned into Lashghar-i shaytan, coming to the blessed land of Shām al-sharīf to slaughter people, in spite of Allah’s words "ash-Shām Kinānatī", meaning, "Shām is My beloved land. Those who burn, destroy and bombard Shām will be shown their limits. I will send My lion." Welcome, o Shah Mardan. He will be coming from your pure progeny. That lion, who will teach those who are attacking Shām their limits, so be careful! Rajab is approaching. Rajabun ‘ajā’ibun. We've been told that seven leaders will not reach this Ramadān. That is the news we have. They didn’t mention names, but they will be seven of the kings, emirs, presidents, or maybe ulama. Seven people from each group, seventy people's worlds will be changed. "You were good for nothing. You wanted to write a constitution, leaving the divine constitution. O Turks, you too have to obey the divine constitution! "Verily, Allah enjoins justice, excellence and charity to kinsfolk and forbids indecency, wickedness and oppression." He ordered every kind of goodness and He forbade every kind of evil, but you forbade every kind of goodness and excellence and opened the door to every kind of filth without caring what will happen to the youth. What a shame for them.You're continuing on the way of those who destroyed the great Ottoman empire. But probably amongst you, maybe from the top-figures, maybe from the ministers, seventy of those, who work towards the destruction of the Ottomans and seven hundred of those who agree with them, will not reach the feast of fastbreaking. Allah knows. O our Lord, forgive us. You are the All-Powerful and the One Able to Act. Let's say - "Huuu" - O believers, don't use this or that name! Don't split up. Don't fabricate new names. For Islam call it, "the Army of Islam". All these different kinds of names bring nothing good. The order from above is: Call it 'Army of Islam'! If you can't appreciate its glory, the graveyard waits for you. You will not reach the holiday. Let the Army of Islam come forth. On their heads the turban, which Sāhibu z-Zamān (the master of the age) will wear, the turban of Islam. It’s color may be black. It may be green or white. It may be red. Behave appropriately, don't run around bareheaded! Let one of these be always on your head. Don't lay hands on one of them or the angels will smite your necks from above. O our Lord, You are the All-Powerful and the One Able to Act. O Shah Mardan, how wonderfully you spoke. O beloved brethren, enter onto his path, be part of the Army of Islam, don't fear! Stand against oppression, don't fear! That is it. The oppressor can't enter paradise. The place for oppressors is in hell. Beware! Arabs, Persians, Turks beware! Huuuuu Rabbi lā yazāl (He doesn’t cease to exist) Lam yazal wa lā yazāl-He never perishes & doesn’t cease to be.You are exalted. O Lord.You are the absolute Sovereign, o my Lord, Subhansın, Yā Rabbī, Sultansın Yā Rabbī! You do whatever You want to do. Count us amongst the Army of Islam. Let them record us as belonging to the Army of Islam, let them register us. "Army of Islam" is an expression, which makes the hearts of the unbelievers tremble and it is an expression, which has been confirmed by the friends of Allah. Be from the Army of Islam! "Turkish army", "Kurdish army", "Arab army" is not acceptable. "Persian army" is not acceptable. Army of Islam - let's be the soldiers of Islam. Don't go bareheaded.Don't exhibit your backsides wearing the of trousers of the infidel! Don't forget to gird your dagger. Don't carry any pistol mistol! Say "Allah!", and move! You can tear down the whole world. Allah, the Exalted, dresses you in robes of awe-inspiring majesty. Mā shā’ Allah, o Shah Mardan. O Shah Mardan, award your grace to your beloved brethren. Who dislikes you is an unbeliever. O Allah, forgive us! Fatiha.
