(Mawlana Sheykh standing)
O our Lord! Forgive us and we are saying also a`udhu billahi min ash Shaytani ‘r rajeem, running away from bad sounds, from Satan and its tricks and traps. Keep ourselves. I am ashaming to ask this from Your Heavenly Presence. I may ask from master of this world. O our master, Qutb az-Zaman, who looking after everything on this Earth, on this planet, to be much more honored by the intercession of the Seal of Prophets (s).
(Mawlana sits)
And I am saying Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem. Biggest honor that whole prophets were asking for them, Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem forever. Allah Almighty just granted that much more honor name for Ummati Muhammad (s). And we are saying so easily Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem. Endless honor, endless lightening coming from Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem.
O People! Don’t lose your chance to say more and more and more Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem. That is a countless treasure for people, for creation. And now we are saying a` udhu billahi min ash-Shaytani ‘r-rajeem. Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem. And as a deeply adab, good manners, top point, we are saying, asking from that one who is the master of this Earth (s). What do you think, O people, about this world? You are thinking that the Lord of Heavens has only one Earth? If He has only one Earth and trying to keep it, it is not our Lord’s Divinely Absolute Powers appearance.
O People! As-salaamu `alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh! Don’t be angry with me, no! I am such a weak one. Everyday such a person coming to a coffee shop and people surrounding that one, because he speaking so many things they like to hear from him and they should be happy. Our Grandshaykh, Allah blessings him with endless Glory Oceans, making such a weak servant to sit here and to address to whole people through east and west. I don’t think that anyone preparing himself when he is going to coffee shop what I am going to speak, no. What coming I may speak and I am here in a little bit different position because it is not a coffee shop or it is not a coffee shop’s meeting, no! We are a handful of people coming and listening and technology of our most proud ones…taking these words through east and west and from north to south.
We are saying, O my Lord! We are endlessly thankful to You for making technology under our command to reach a person from any point of this world to east, up to west. That is a grant from Allah Almighty; if He is not opening no one can find such a thing, but He is saying that, “So many things we are making them on Earth under your (….sound cut…). It is an electricity, it is an appearance from heavenly Power Oceans, such an atom and this atom preparing everything on Earth for the benefit of the children of Adam, giving much more chance for understanding, but they using it for their egoistic purposes. Not using it to find …the beginning of that power, how appeared. It was in secret Oceans of Power from the Lord’s heavenly oceans. Heaven’s oceans. Subhanallah!
Yes, they are making me to speak on such a points that people never hearing it before, and the Lord of Heavens asking to give much more knowledge for His deputies whom they are the children of Adam. He is asking and giving. And it is such a thing that we are speaking on it, so strange! And people never thinking on it, one, line under it, infinity. What is its equal? Say your language, what is going one over infinity? What is it equal? Say! ZERO. One atom, may be changeable up to be zero and infinity with zero, how going to be one? One, if you are dividing that one through infinity, going to be zero, but when you are making one divided by two, it is going to be half or, you may say two. If you are dividing it by two, it is going to be two. That means if you are taking one dividing into infinity, going to be zero. How many zeros if you are calculating? Going to be unknown, finished! One under one, dividing into two going to be half, and two half going to be one! But here one, if divided by infinity going to be zero! How zero going to adding to infinity and becoming something? That means everything in front of one, nothing! Nothing in existence except ONE. No anything else! That is tawheed, to understand the Unity of the Lord of Heavens!
Everything in existence including heavenly oceans, they are finally coming to be… .(Mawlana addresses a mureed who is falling asleep.) Open your eyes, don’t sleep! How many times I am looking if someone making like this in our association, power cutting. Therefore, reminding our listeners, don’t be heedless or sleepy here, no! Open your eyes and give a value what we are saying; listen!!!
To understand some secrets of your being, this world’s showing and proving to whole mindly creatures that you are on the point of zero! You can’t be with One! One never accepting zero! But HE making zero, asking to show from His Endless Power Appearances. Don’t think you are something. You are nothing! As, O our listeners, your level is for understanding such things preliminary, therefore they are making me to shout and to say something to make your understanding, to open, but you can’t understand; impossible for zero to understand mahya, identity, of ONE.
I am asking professors of mathematics, what is your opinion if one divided to infinity coming only zero? You may putting one divided to four, coming to quarter, but divide it, coming to be zero. Zero means nothing. Standing up only one. People they are not understanding because they are so hard-head people!! Therefore, we are saying if you are making (touching) our heads on the walls of Prophet’s holy grave, holy maqaam, they are saying, “Nooo, you are making shirk.” What shirk? Who can be partner to One? No one! But people they are so ignorant ones. And I am saying if that is shirk, what about if you are putting your hands on Ka’bah-e-Mu’azzam, the Holy House of the Lord? What is the difference between this and that? That is material, this is material. Why this is going to be acceptable, but you never going to be saying, “Don’t touch House of the Lord.” But when you are coming to Holy Prophet’s maqaam, they are coming and rushing on people saying, “Don’t put your hands on it.” Why? This is material, that is material. Do you think that the House of the Lord, He is in it? In it or out of it? What do you think, O Salafi people? What you are saying?
They are so jealous people that they never like Sayyidina Muhammad (s). (Mawlana stands) I am standing up on his Holy Name! Yes, for Ka’bah okay, but for rasulu’th-thaqalayn it is haraam???? Who mentioned? Allah Almighty is warning, don’t make haraam what is halaal, haadha haraamun wa haadha halaalun. It is mentioned in Holy Qur’an and those people their language is Arabic, but they are not saying the Lord’s understanding. To touch Ka’bah is halal, (but you say) to touch Prophet’s windows or gates of his maqam is haram? Which verse giving that authority, to make much more haraam, to make haraam as you like? And Prophet (s) is saying al-haraamu bayyinu wa ‘l-halaalu bayyin (what is forbidden is clear and what is permitted is clear). Where is that bayyinun that don’t touch Prophet’s windows?
If Prophet is saying l-haraamu bayyinu, where it is? Show us your proof, haatoo burhaanakum! Allah saying don’t teach people to say that Ka’ba halal to touch and Habibullah’s maqaam to touch is haraam. What is your proof? And they are saying as (if) Rasul (s) (is) saying al-halaalu bayyin. Through which book you are making this halaal or haraam?? Tell me! They may say, or I may say to them, O Salafi people! You are thinking that when we are saying Baytullah,” He needs to have a house to be in it? How you are saying?? Baytullah, they are saying Allah in it, or out of it? How you are saying this? What do you think if you are making salaam to Ka`ba, four walls Allahu akbar, and you are turning, what is your proof? Allah in it or out? Where He is? You can say for Allah’s maqaam standing and I am asking one Salafi person, O Salafi `alim, what do you think?
I am asking so many people a question and they never giving an answer to make my heart tumaaneena, satisfied. “What is your question, O bid`ah Sheykh?” (Mawlana laughing) If I am making bid’ah, what you shall be? I am asking you to answer me, if I am making bid’ah, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta`ala is going to make judgment for me, but I am asking to you, that it is Baytullah, so is Allah in it or out of it, or is Baytullah is empty? If it is empty, for what we are making this salam, Allahu akbar? Sayyidina `Ibrahim built it; how it is going to be? If you are saying Allahu akbar, to Whom we are saying? Why we are not turning our faces to other parts of Haram Shareef and to say Allahu akbar, only we are coming and saying for Ka`ba, Allahu akbar? What is your proof? Allah imprisoning that Ka`ba? If it is empty, for what we are saying Allahu akbar? Say to me!
(Some are saying,) “O Sheykh, you are saying something against Shari`at Allah!” No! I am asking you is the Lord in it or out it? If you are saying Allah is in the Ka`ba, the house of the Lord, Who is LORD? How, if He is not in it, for what we are running to Ka`ba? We may build four walls and may run around in it, may be, may be! But why you are intiqaam, objecting if mu’mins coming to their prophet’s peaceful and holy place where he (s) is buried, why you are saying, “Don’t touch, that is shirk”? What does it mean, shirk? Are we making idols there and bowing to them? But people they are so ignorant ones, they are not understanding hikmah, wisdom, and I was asking him and he was saying, “No, because it is house of the Lord that can’t be that house empty.” Who is in it? Allah Subhanahu wa Ta`ala is in it?
“No no, no, no, no, no, can’t be!”
(Mawlana stands) Do you think that Holy Prophet (s) of His Divinely Presence, Sayyidina Muhammad (s) is in it?
“No, that is shirk; it is empty.”
How you are saying this? But no-mind people are trying to make people to reach kufr and to be thrown into Hells! They are wrong ones, they are wrong ones! They cannot prove themselves, declaring people kafir (unbeliever) or mushrik (idol worshipper) when they are visiting tomb of Holy Prophet (s).
They are making east to west and from west to east, declaring, “You are kafir, you are mushrik.” What is that? Who giving to you that authority to make people kafir or mushrik ?! It is according to your nonsense ideas? Sahaba, after Prophet’s traveling, rising or reaching to his Lord’s Divinely Presence, Sahaba did not visit his tomb or they are never coming and saying as-salaatu wa ‘s-salaam? At the time of Sahaba it was halaal and you are coming after Sahaba 1300 years and you are making haraam? If anyone coming to holy tomb of Prophet (s) and saying as-salaatu wa ‘s-salam, you are saying they are mushrik? Don’t speak! Something coming to your tongue and you may die!
Because Rasulullah (s) had been sent as basheeran wa nadheera and his inheritors are also basheeran wa nadheera, warners and givers of good tidings, all of them! Sometimes that is granted to a very weak one, like myself. I am weakest one through Mankind, but to be nadheer sometimes had been granted to weakest servant. Yawm al ‘azifati, Day of Warning from Prophet to his inheritors. But (Wahabis) never accepting except themselves. No, they are not going to be inheritors for Rasul, but if you are insisting you are going to be inheritors for Shaytan! Allah orders everyone to bow to Adam, Allah looking and ordering, so how you are saying that sajdah is haraam? Through whole Shari’ah haraam, but if Allah is ordering (it becomes) halaal. Therefore, whole angels bowing to Adam in Divinely Presence! Allah Subhanahu wa Ta`ala ordering to angels to bow to Adam. Why He is not saying, “Bow to Me”? No, bow to Adam.
Ya Rabbi! You are so great and mighty, no one can understand Your greatness. O our Lord! YOU, YOU, YOU!
O People! Angels making sajdah, is Allah’s order munkar, wrong? Why not saying to Allah, “Why You make Adam and ordering me to make sajdah to him?”
If to Adam we can bow, if you are going to Sayyidina Muhammad, you are going to be kafir? HASHA!
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, `Azeez Allah
Ala maa yureed, as He likes He can order. As we are saying that is Baytullah (Allah’s house), that is Habibullah (Allah’s beloved)! And Habeebullah is more valuable that `Ibrahim’s building. This is Baytullah, that is Habeebullah! Which one is more precious in Divinely Presence, that building or Habeebullah? If you are saying Ka`batullah then let Ka`batullah come on Day of Judgment and make intercession! You are kissing Hajjatul Aswad (the Black Stone), but if you are kissing someone’s hand for respect then are going to be kafir? What is that nonsense ideas and fitna through Muslims!!! Divine revenge quickly comes on them. It is halal to kiss a piece of stone because it is from heavens coming. Also, the Seal of Prophets (s) from where coming? From under the Earth coming, or coming from up??!!But no-mind Salafi people, they are asking to make whole Muslims like their thinking, and they are on baatil, falsehood.

Çok yakın bir tarihe kadar hiç bir şekilde tanımadığımız, kendisini de Nakşibendi Hızıri diye tanıtan Cafer İskenderoğlu’ndan Şeyh Abdulkerim el Hakkani Hazretlerine yazılan bir email ben Ekrem Tekbilek’e yönlendirildi. Email halen elimizde olup Şeyh Abdul Kerim el Hakkani Hazretlerine’ye son derece uygunsuz, ağır ve ukalaca bir üslüpla bir uyarı yazılmıştır. Uyarısında Şeyhimizi , Peygamber Efendimize (sav) şikayet ettiğini ve yakında manevi tokat yiyeceğini bildiriyor.
Biz de elimize geçen bu emaile atfen hiç de aşağıda kalmayacak bir email ile cevap verdik. Cafer İskenderoğlu’na cevabımızda, Şeyhimize bir özür mektubu beklediğimizi bildirdik. Fakat onlar buna karşılık özür değil yalan dolan, iftira, söz ve video ile şeyhimize ve bütün Osmanlı Nakşibendi Hakkani Dergahı ’na internet vasıtasıyla (YouTube, DailyMotion gibi video sitelerde) özellikle kendi resmi sayfalarında ağır bir karalama kampanyasına giriştiler.
Bir ay süresince onlara hiç bir karşılık vermedik. Bir ay geçtikten sonra bizde ayni şekilde cevap vermeye başladık. Ama iki hafta önce hiç bilmediğimiz sebeplerden dolayı Cafer İskenderoğlu bütün saldırıları kesip, videoları kaldırıp, Şeyh Abdul Kerim el Hakkani Hazretlerini telefonla arayarak özür dilemiştir.
Cafer İskenderoğlu kendi sitelerinde yapılan karalama kampanyasına karşılık ayni yerde aşağıdakı özürü yayınlamıştır.
Hadis-i şerifte buyuruldu ki:
“Dört şey münafıklık alametidir: Emanet olunana hıyanet etmek, yalan söylemek, vaadini bozmak, sözünde durmamak.”
[İ. Neccar]

FIHIBISMILLAH
BISMILLAHIRRAHMANRRAHIM
Çok yakın bir tarihde Seyh Abdulkerim Hakkani ile ilk kez görüsme imkânı bulup
kendilerine her iki dergahın müridlerinin asırı gittiklerini, haklarını helal etmelerini
istirham ettim. Ve kendi üzerimize düseni yaptık. Bu sebeple hayatta olan ve olmayan
tüm Naksi büyüklerinden, Şeyh Abdulkerim el Hakkani den ve tüm Naksiler den özür diler,
haklarını helal etmelerini isterim ve bizden yana da haklarımızı helal ettigimizi beyan
ederiz.

Peygamber Efendimiz (sav) buyurdu ki;
“Kim haksız oldugu bir münakasayı terkederse kendisine cennetin kenarında bir ev
kurulur. Kim haklı oldugu bir münakasayı terkederse de cennetin ortasında ona bir ev
kurulur!” (Tirmizi, Birr 56)
Allah’a ve Resulü’ne itaat edin ve birbirinizle çekismeyin. Sonra içinize korku düser ve
kuvvetiniz elden gider. Sabırlı olun. Allah sabredenlerle beraberdir.

InshaAllah in writing this down I won’t be trivializing what it is that I feel and have experienced. At some level that’s necessary, because what I feel is much deeper than just some words on a internet article. Its deeper than any artistic expression that I know how to use. This is a part of me, and if I could be put on paper or canvas or soundwaves then that would make this much easier. But my feelings can’t, my fears can’t, my hopes and dreams can’t, my ego can’t. Or I don’t know how, if its possible.
It is draining. It’s so tiring looking into peoples eyes. Hearing there “Oh’s” and “Ah’s”. Not knowing how to react to my strange words and strange appearances.
Do they hear me or do they hear some confused reflection of what it is I am trying to communicate? They are not understanding, or worse yet, thinking they understand. How can they understand when, really, I have not fully understood. But I have a glimmer, and that is what I can try to share.
I’m standing in the middle of a foreign country. It is about midnight, the streets are so tight that it is hard to fathom any American car getting through its twists and turns. I’ve knocked and knocked. The doors are locked, I am stuck. It is starting to get cold. I try another door, to the side. Someone has got to know what to do. No one answers. I try for half an hour around various approaches. The hotel itself is locked, its no use. Small places like this don’t have 24 hour service. I stand on something to get a better view, how can I get back inside?
A door opens. A man comes out, he’s holding a sword. No, really. He is holding a sword. He is screaming in a tongue I have no way to understand, but his heart and face are screaming something I understand clearly. Kill. This is a man who wants to kill me. He screams and approaches me. The women are standing by the door. They are in tears, begging for him to stop. He thinks hes protecting them. He clearly has no end to his fury. He runs at me, but I don’t move. My hands are extended, “I’m just trying to get in the hotel!” He comes at me screaming louder and louder. The sword is in the air. I’m going to die.
I am in the middle of nowhere and I am going to die. I wonder a few things…
What goes through your mind when facing death or danger? Everyone faces it differently I suppose. I faced it in a few different ways. This wasn’t the first time I was exposed to it. The first time, I didn’t really care. I thought I was doing something good, and so I did it. Did I really face the possibility of sacrificing my life? Not really, I was young and thought I would live forever. This is when I pulled a man out of a burning building. I still remember the firemen screaming “Get back! get out!” as they turned up right when we had already done the hard part. It was satisfying to kick the door down. But I was really young and stupid, I had no idea what I went through and I didn’t have the presence of self or mind to take an accounting of it.
The second time, I began to know it as a reality. I understood the danger much more, I think. But I didn’t care any further. If I did care at some level, at the levels that expressed themselves I didn’t. If I was going to die, I just thought so-be-it. I’d wake up and I couldn’t move, and when I found out at any point that it could be my heart that didn’t move, that my every night sleep could easily be my last, then what could I do? I gave in to the numbness that I felt in my legs and arms, that same numbness was in my heart. Every night I died in some way, or some part of me died when I couldn’t move in the morning. Hypokalemic periodic paralysis. I thought this was how I was going to go. So I lived my life, enjoyed what I could take. That was it. It was again, a carefree abandon, there was little or no thought paid to life, after-life, etc.
And here I was again. Sword-man coming at me.
Ostensibly I had found faith, but here was a man ready to kill me and I didn’t view it as a test and I didn’t prepare myself. I could have talked endlessly about zikr in one’s final breaths when constructing a formal argument for loud zikr to a Wahabi, but I didn’t do it myself when I needed to. I wondered, briefly, what my blood would feel like in my hands, will it feel like that goat I recently slaughtered, would I die so easily, so peacefully, like him? But most of all, I worried about my families future, the house, the payments. How it would all come to pass…
I worried about provision. Of the 54 Fardh in Islam, I lost out on number six, and trust me I didn’t make it through one to five with flying colors either. And the absolute icing on the cake about all of this was, that I didn’t even realize it. That’s right, do you think I had any idea at that time what had happened?
The reality was shown to me in weeks later. I’ve survived, and I am telling my story as a casual tale to entertain. That’s the only way I know how to deal with it. I make people laugh and enjoy it, at least they will get something good out of it.
But it wasn’t until I was with my Sheykh, Sheykh Abdul Kerim Effendi, that he pointed out my flaw directly to me, I had failed that test. I had demonstratively lost my faith, and that too, at the worst possible time. I lost myself between self-preservation and worry for the future. I lost my faith in those few moments, or I at least demonstrated how weak it was. I demonstrated that I don’t even know how to die. I demonstrated that even if I knew the exterior, I didn’t practice it and I didn’t know what that meant on the inside.
I was being shown, incident after incident with danger and death, “wake up to yourself!” and I was so deaf that I had no idea that it was even being said. Call them signs, call them tests, call them what-you-will, but I now call them failures of heedlessness.
These experiences in life, for me, have been extreme. I’ve had so many much more subtle ones as well, and so have many people. But the reality is I wouldn’t have realized my own lesson, even in these extreme cases, without a guide. I may be a particularly dense person, but most people don’t often see their own mistakes. We tend to view our actions distorted through our own lenses of happenstance and heedlessness.
We don’t consider our daily lives on the level of faith, and only after instruction did I realize that I was about to die without any real faith.
My faith had never been tested, or rather, it had been constantly tested but I was completely unaware that I was even being examined.
The fundamental aspect of religious teaching is: We are all going to die, so die with faith. Everything stems from this. My vast realms of fake ‘Islamic knowledge’ had proven to be completely useless, for when the moment came, the little high they brought of ‘Islamic pride’ was forgotten. The classes and seminars didn’t help (and I had attended countless numbers). Even talking about high spirituality with poems or achieving Marifat or Haqiqat or Shariat, humility or patience, these were irrelevant discussions sent to occupy my mind from the reality of my own mortality.
I learned that laissez-faire Islam, seminars, or even articles on ‘Sufi Ways’ can never teach you anything about correcting your own self, day in and day out. Such things can’t put us on the path that is required to fix ourselves, and we are so incredibly flawed. They may help with the flaws you recognize, perhaps. But what of the flaws you don’t recognize? The flaws you only expose to those with whom you are in constant companionship, living day in and day out? Or those flaws that arise when you let your guard down. I’m speaking of those hidden areas of your personality that you don’t even know yourself. That is where my need for Sohbet (association) arises, and my need for community, and my intimate need for a guide.
These are my must-have tools on my journey to death.
It’s about time I wake up to myself… the man with the sword let me live. This gives me another opportunity to die before I die.
