S. Hisham Kabbani Apologizes to
Sheykh Abdul Kerim al-Kibrisi

May 3, 2010  |  Thoughts  |  1 Comment

Hani, a murid associated with Michigan sent me this letter with excerpts of an apology. I did not take these excerpts and ‘cut and paste’, so that much is for everyone to know.

The letter:

audhu bil-Lahi min ash-Shaytan ar-RAJEEM

Bismillah hir-Rahman ir-Raheem

Yursil Bhai:
as-Salaamu ‘alaykum, wa rahmatullahi, wa barakatuhu!

You have one more sohbet to watch. It is nearly 1 hour and 20 minutes long.

Within it, towards the end, Sayyidi Sheykh Hisham is addressing Sheyh AbdelKerim directly again. This time it is not from Michigan but from Singapore. He is publicly giving him an apology and an invitation. View the whole sohbet here please:

http://www.sufilive.com/Suhbah_1-2386.html

I’ve put a few excerpts below, but I strongly recommend you shut out all distractions while watching this video in its entirety please. The full power of the suhba cannot be appreciated if it is not viewed in its entirety.

Excerpts:

“I am not saying this with disrespect to any of the khalifas. No, I am saying with love to you. Personally, Sheykh AbdelKarim. Because I love you and I respect you since New York. We were together, you remember. And I visited you in your restaurant in Brooklyn. You remember that. And I came to your house…we ate bread and salt. But:

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَى تَنفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
“And remind, for reminding profits the believers.” Qur’an 51:55

I am not an enemy to you. No, I am a brother and might be lower than you. No problem. I respect you, I love you, but it’s good to remind people. I am older than you. You respect my age if nothing else. I gave you respect now.

You give respect. And I am not far, you know my way. You used to come every time. Every one month, two months, you used to visit. You can come. You are most welcome! You and your group. “

“So my humble apology to all of you if I said something that you were not happy with.
But don’t cut and paste what I am saying. Keep the lecture from beginning to end if you want to keep it, not cutting and pasting. Because [when you are] cutting and pasting you are responsible in front of Allah & His Prophet and in front of Awliyullah that you did a confusion. I am clearing the confusion.”

….

“We cannot see something that would be difficult on our hearts. So out of that I spoke what I spoke. May Allah Subhana wa Ta’Ala forgive us and forgive everyone and may Allah Subhana wa Ta’Ala grant us the power to say sorry. We say sorry. Don’t cut and paste. You can say sorry and come and visit. I am older than you. You come as you usually used to come. wa min Allahi tawfiq bi hurmatil Faitha.

This is for everyone. That’s not for a particular person. For me, for them, for everyone! May Allah swt benefit us from this and support us and bless us. Bi hurmatil Habib bi hurmatil Fatiha.

Allahumma salli ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammadin Nabi al-Ummi wa ‘ala Alihi wa Sahbihi wa Salli

Naqshbandi-Kabbani City (Fenton, Michigan) Associated to Video Release Claiming Murder of Sheikh Maulana Nazim’s Wife

April 26, 2010  |  Thoughts  |  20 Comments

Before they attacked Seyh Abdul Kerim Kibrisi, people in Michigan (I have their IP addresses and it goes to Fenton, Michigan), posted the following video. Fenton, Michigan just happens to be the HQ of Naqshbandi Haqqani in Michigan.

So, “some people” in Fenton, MI hacked Sheykh Maulana Nazim’s website saltanat.org and put the following video up. The video was put up 3 weeks ago (you can confirm this by going to youtube).

Livestream confirmed the hack.

Two days later Hisham Kabbani released a talk calling Nabil and Riham “Abu Lahab and Umm Lahab in Cyprus” (referring to the people depicted in this video, who are very close to Maulana in the household) … One day later they called Seyh Abdul Kerim and his wife “Abu Lahab and Umm Lahab in New York”.

Now they complain on sufilive.com (click on broadcast video) of saltanat.org (which is executed in part by Nabil and Riham, but under Sheykh Maulana Nazim’s direct authority).

This video was cross posted into facebook groups, yahoo groups and mailing lists.

Lesson is: if your Sheykh teaches you the manners of calling people Abu Lahab and Umm Lahab, the murids will certainly learn from you.

Notice the similar verbage of “conscience”, “pills”, and “drugs” to the attack on Seyh Abdul Kerim.

Salt Hadith

June 2, 2008  |  Thoughts  |  No Comments

Salt (milh)–Hot and dry in the third degree, salt, when taken moderately, is beautifying to the skin, giving it a soft glow. Salt causes vomiting when purging, and stimulates the appetite. Excessive use causes the skin to itch.

The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) recommended beginning and ending each meal with a pinch of salt. He said: “From the one who begins a meal with salt, Allah wards off three hundred and thirty kinds of diseases, the least of which are lunacy, leprosy, bowel troubles, and toothache. The rest is pre-scribed in the supreme knowledge of Allah.”

-(from chishti.org)

Osman Gazi’s Inheritence

January 18, 2008  |  Excerpts  |  2 Comments

“[When Osman Gazi (namesake of the Ottoman Empire) died c.1326 his sons] Orhan Gazi and Alaeddin Pasha met with other prominent men to see what [property] Osman had left and to decide what the brothers should inherit. There was only the land he had conquered. There was no money, no gold. He left a fairly new saddle cloth, some armour, a container for salt and one for spoons, and a pair of strong boots. He also had some good horses and several flocks of sheep…a few mares and several pairs of oxen. Osman had no other possessions”

-Ashikpashazade (2nd half of 15th century; 1970 edn) p. 36. The historian stresses that Osman I was a genuine leader, not someone who sought riches for himself.
