Allāh ﷻ asks the servant to witness Truth. To hear, see and understand Eternal Truth. Openings come to those who ask and they are awarded according to their levels. The heart must be in a wholly giving position. These realities are not learned from books. Holy guides have the keys to such learning and with angels to assist, help weak servants reach heavenly understanding. The physical being is unimportant but the understanding capacity spans the universe.

Give for Me ﷻ
Jun12 2010 English 39min
What can people give to their Lord? They can grant Him ﷻ their humbleness because humility signifies that the servant accepts his nothingness. The Lord created him, so he glorifies His ﷻ Majesty. All creation does. The Lord has everything. He ﷻ is not in need of anything. He ﷻ gives, and also asks the servant to give those who are needy. He ﷻ says: “Give for Me ﷻ.”

Fīhi Mā Fīhi
Jun10 2010 English 40min
Allāh Almighty sent prophets, but people turned against the prophets and prophecy. This is signified by the verse “ulā’ika ka-l-an‘āmi bal hum aḍall” (7:179) in the Holy Qur’ān. They are likened to animals, but Mawlānā explains how this verse also applies to those who live in the present time. He emphasizes that everything is contained in the Holy Qur’ān, using the title from a book by one of the Prophet’s ﷺ inheritors: Fīhi mā fīhi.
Kill Your Ego
Jun09 2010 English 43min
Servants ask Allāh ﷻ and He ﷻ grants more and more through His ﷻ attribute, Al-Karīm. He ﷻ grants endlessly. Those who reach the point of being forgiven reach their highest aspiration but the servant’s happiness makes shayṭān unhappy. It creates problems for him and the servant becomes hopeless. Man is oppressing his own soul. He can only be free when the ego is crushed. Then, no evil can be created, nor any devil followed. Only Truth can be seen. Man must not worry or be hopeless of Allah’s ﷻ Mercy. The Holy Qur’ān therefore prescribes: “Kill your selves (egos).”

The Way Leading Straight
Jun08 2010 English 43min
Those who can understand will be valued in Divine Presence. People here are of two groups, drinking either from clean springs or from dirty channels. Western understanding of real religion is different from a Muslim one. The Muslim world is under western control, following their lifestyle, drinking sewage. They are making forms and calling them ‘god’. Why are we following them? Allāh ﷻ says: this indeed is a way that leads straight to Me ﷻ.

I Am Nothing
Jun07 2010 English 43min
For Man to consider himself exceptional is the lowest level of ignorance and heedlessness. We are servants and we are all on the same level. None can claim the attribute of mightiness. It belongs to Allah Almighty only. The Prophet’s (s) Hadith clarifies this: I sit like the servant sits and I eat like the servant eats. This is enough to show an ailing Ummah the right way to be. It is a teaching for all nations. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ teaches: “I am nothing in my Lord’s Divine Presence”.

The Heavenly Balance
Jun06 2010 English 41min
People need good understanding to benefit from heavenly grants. If not, they will pursue something which will finally end up in nothing. Mawlana commenting on the mindless frenzy of modern day football illustrates that Allah Almighty has established a Balance for everything. He questions the Muslim ulama about their disregard of the Sharia and their negligence of the Heavenly Balance.
