(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.
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, `Azeez Allah

“A 53-year-old Imam has been arrested in connection with the sexual abuse of a teenage boy in Long Island. Niamatullah Ibrahim works at the Selden Mosque of the Islamic Association of Long Island. The 13-year-old boy he is accused of assaulting was a student there, police said.”
-
The 13-year-old was at the mosque “as a member of a religious study group for youth,” Fitzharris said. “He was forcibly placed into a room, and sexual contact was made.”
-
“The boy’s mother, who asked that her and her son’s names not be used, said she is concerned that Ibrahim, who was born in Afghanistan, will make his $100,000 bail and flee the country.
“He could go anywhere,” she said. “I don’t want him to go away from whatever he did.”"
*Note: The man is the Muezzin, teacher, custodian and lives on site at the Masjid, although there is an off-site Imam

My comments:
Over two years ago the New York Times attempted an ‘attack’ our Sheykh Abdul Kerim Effendi, but as we know the article showed the true colors of the evil ones. Now one of the people the NY Times decided to quote was Nayyer Imam. He gave the following incorrect statement:
“They do not belong to any Naqshbandi order,” said Nayyar Imam, the president of the Islamic Association of Long Island, whose Selden mosque is attended by many Stony Brook students. “They have created their own thing.”
Back then I pointed out that Sheykh Maulana Nazim, the worldwide leader of the Naqshbandi Hakkani way, has given authority to Sheykh Abdul Kerim, and Nayyar Imam has nothing to do with the Naqshbandi order in anyway to be speaking on our behalf.
The Imam of the Selden Mosque, which Nayyar Imam is president of, was recently arrested for sexual abuse charges on a 13 year old boy.
This occurred under his watch. Mr Imam has shown once again shown that he is a poor judge of character.
He was a poor judge on who he decides to attack, and he is a poor judge on who he decides to promote into positions of authority.
What occurred to this Muslim boy looking for knowledge is a terrible tragedy, and calls to the police have confirmed that the mans bodily fluids were found and taken from the boy. This was a two month investigation for which we will inshaAllah see all the culprits and cover-ups exposed which surely go to the highest levels.
Mr Imam is now quoted in the above article:
The mosque leaders “take these allegations very seriously,” said Nayyar Imam, president of the Islamic Association of Long Island.
A Murid (who was called “Muhummad”) took initiation. After giving initation, Sheykh Abdul Kerim gave the person the name “Mehmet”. When doing so he also gave the explanation (paraphrased):
It is necessary for us to send salawat after saying Muhummad (S), so keeping that high respect we use “Mehmet”. It is like Muhummad (S) but it is not the same.
How many times we are dealing with people named “Muhummad” who are doing wrong actions or receiving blame or cursings? To block that disrespect, we are saying “Mehmet”.
In the same manner, you see the Ottoman Sultans were named “Sultan Mehmet”.
Below is the text as found in the translation:
–
Concerning the qualities of the Pir (Spiritual Guide) and (the duty of) obedience to him.
O Splendour of the Truth, Husamuddin, take one or two
sheets of paper and add (them to the poem) in description
of the Pir.
Although thy slender body hath no strength, yet without the
sun (of thy spirit) we have no light.
Although thou hast become the lighted wick and the glass
(lamp), yet though art the heart’s leader (the Spiritual Guide);
thou art the end of the thread (which serves as a clue).
Inasmuch as the end of the thread is in thy hand and will,
the beads of spiritual knowledge on the heart’s necklace are
(derived) from thy bounty.
Write down what appertains to the Pir (Guide) who knows
the Way :- Choose the Pir and regard him as the essence
of the Way.
The Pir is (like) summer, and (other) people are (like) the
autumn month; (other) people are like night, and the Pir is
the moon.
I have bestowed on (my) young Fortune (Husamuddin) the
name of Pir (old), because he is (made) old by the Truth, not
(made) old by Time.
So old is he that he hath no beginning : there is no rival to
such a unique Pearl.
Verily, old wine grows more potent; verily, old gold is more
highly prized.
Choose a Pir, for without a Pir this journey is exceeding full
of woe and affright and danger.
Without an escort you are bewildered (even) on a road you
have travelled many times (before):
Do not, then, travel alone on a Way that you have no seen
at all, do not turn your head away from the Guide.
Fool, if his shadow (protection) be not over you, then the cry
of the ghoul will keep you (wandering about) with your head
in a whirl.
The ghoul will (entice you) from the Way (and) cast you into
destruction: there have been in this Way many craftier than
you (who have perished miserably).
Hear (learn) from the Quran the perdition of the wayfarers,
what the evil-souled Iblis did unto them.
He carried them far – a journey of hundreds of thousands of
years – from the Highway, and made them backsliders and
naked (devoid of good works).
Behold their bones and their hair! Take warning, and drive
not your ass towards them !
Seize the neck of your ass (the flesh) and lead him towards
the Way, towards the good keepers and knowers of the Way.
Beware! do not let your ass go, and do not remove your hand
from him, because his love is for the place where green herbs
are plentiful.
If you carelessly leave him free for one moment, he will go
(many) leagues in the direction of the herbage.
The ass is an enemy to the Way, (he is) madly in love with
fodder : oh, many is the attendant on him that he has brought
to ruin !
If you know not the Way, whatsoever the ass desires, do the
contrary thereof : that, surely, will be the right Way.
(The Prophet said), “Consult them (women), and then oppose
(them in what they advise) : he that disobeys them not will be
ruined.”
Be not a friend to (sensual) passion and desire, since it leads
you astray from the Way of God.
Nothing in the world will break (mortify) this passion like
the shadow (protection) of fellow-travelers.
ref: Mathnawi, tr: Nicholson, pg 161
Questioner: “Like you said when you go to makam.. In order to ask for something, do we put our hands like in prayers? from the saints? or do we say respectfully… what is the proper protocol to ask from the saints?”
Sheykh Abdul Kerim:
You are not asking from the saint. You are not asking from the saint.
You are asking from Allah, but you are asking for the behalf of that Saint. You are saying “Ya Rabbi! This is what my need is, but I know that I am not worthy. My worth is not reaching to you. Because of this one I am asking, this one is beloved to you! I am asking because of this one, that I came *here*!.”
That’s all. You are not asking from a saint.
But, if you are asking, depending to your sincerity. If you are asking sincerely and if you don’t have any better knowledge than that. That is a different story. But if you are, like somebody like you, questioning so many times different things, and asking from the saint, then you are committing shirk that time.
Everything is depending to the levels of the people’s understanding. In India, the people they go and they believe one hundred percent that its going to happen from that saint, and it happens to them.
Try to change the minds of those people, you will invent confusion to them. So you leave them alone, don’t interfere. Is that the real way it is happening? No.
Everything happens through that one’s hand!
The living saint, the living saint also is not giving you something but is taking something from Allah and gives to you. But to you, you know that one. But to him, he is a servant, taking from Allah and giving.
Certain people you dont go confusing them. Understand?
Now according to the individuals faith, whichever side is working, you leave it. But if you are reaching to higher station of knowledge and you are going asking from that one… it is not too intelligent. Understanding?
Everything in the hand of Allah SubhanuatAllah. But Allah has given the treasury of the world to hand of one saint, if you are looking for that treasury, then you ask from that ones behalf and that one will give it to you. It is a different story, depending on peoples level of the faith.
Once upon a time, Khizr (AS) is passing from one area, and he is seeing a man going up to the mountain. And as soon as he reaches up to the mountain. He sits down, and puts his head between his leg and crawls down, rolling down all the way down, down to the mountain. He gets up and goes back up and goes down again.
Saying “Ya Rabbi, what is this servant is doing?”
Word is reaching to him, “He is worshiping”.
Saying “Ya Rabbi, you have taught us, you have sent us the Prophet, to teach us how to worship. This one doesn’t know, grow up in the mountain. So.. I may teach…”
Says, “Go and teach him, go and tell him that is the way, that to do, the right way.”
So Khizr came, and says to him “Welcome Salamu’alaikum,” “walaikumassalam”
Says, “What are you doing?”
“Worshiping”
He says, “But the prophet came to teach us how we are going to worship, and this is the better way of worshiping.”
So he watch and he says “Yeah, that’s good, I like it better.” So he starts doing it.
And Khizr (AS) walking.. there is a sea. Start walking on top of the sea going to the other side.
That one now he says “Allahuakbar” now is thinking, which one was I supposed to do first? To go to rukuh or go to sajdah first? He forgot instantly. So he’s thinking saying, “Instead of making wrong, let me run to catch that man to teach me the right way again. So he starts running after Khizr..
“Please, I forgot which one is first the ruku or the sajda?”
Khizr is looked at him, he is standing on top of the sea and he is standing with him (on the sea). He says to him, “You know what, go and do what you were doing. Don’t change anything!”.
The whole aim of this worshipness and everything that we are doing, we are trying to become a good servant of Allah. That one through that way, that he was doing, that he was so sincere, doing it for Allah’s sake, He already reached to that station. So Khizr looked, says, “don’t confuse yourself, all these years whatever you have learned and whatever you did, continue doing that sincere way!” He didn’t said to him “Oh, you are standing here with me”… said “Go and do it, live that way”.
So depending to individuals level of faith. If you are learning and knowing certain things then you are under obligation to follow that. But if you are a complete sincere person and doesnt have too much knowledge and you doing certain things… Ahir Zaman (End of Times)!
That is what Holy Prophet (S) saying, little that you know, continue doing that little. Continuously. Don’t go searching too much, because there will be confusion everywhere.
That is why people go around searching so much… in Turkish we say…”If you circle around too much you will step on the waste”. And that is what happens to so many people. There are not satisfied with finding something.
