The purpose of Man is to reach higher and higher stations. The ego’s desires weigh man down. Wanting himself seen, man falls. Unless he sacrifices himself, he cannot rise, he cannot reach Oneness. To be known in one’s real being belongs to Man’s spiritual aspect. Mawlānā explains that the qur’ānic āyah “wa-kuntu nasyam mansiyyā” is just such a call from Sayyidatunā Maryam to her Lord ﷻ, yearning to be unknown, to be nothing.

Salafis Must Seek It
Jun23 2010 English 46min
Man does not read himself but with a microscope researches intensively about the tiniest creature. The Creator creates but man does not know why. The Quran says: Our Lord You did not create this aimlessly. There is a secret wisdom in Man. The Salafi ulama falling into modernity debate about knowledge taught by the Creator to His Beloved, instead they must wear the “dress of righteousness” and “follow the steps” of those whose only aim is seeking Allah’s pleasure. Such people exist in our day. They carry the secret power of the Beloved. Salafis must seek it.

Salafi Ulama, ‘Open It!’
Jun22 2010 English 39min
The Salafi ulama must not criticise simple people working for their Lord’s pleasure, says Mawlana. Instead, they should inquire about the purpose of Man’s existence in this life, according to the command Allah Almighty set, for the Prophet (sas) to declare to people. Mawlana adds that the absence of the Caliphate is the reason for Muslim humiliation. Against their claim of being Salafi, Mawlana presses the ulama to use the wealth of the Saudi Kingdom to fight falsehood and broadcast against it. He says, “Open it” for the common man so that they may understand.

Oppose Western Lifestyle

The Salafi ulama are proud in thinking they know everything. Mawlana caricatures the ‘alim’ (scholar) and the bedouin, in an amusing dialogue. He explains that Allah Almighty likes humility and obedience, not pride. Mawlana also questions the Doctors of Sharia for their lack of guidance of the Muslims. He urges them to oppose the Western lifestyle.

Towards Divine Presence
Jun20 2010 English 34min
People are seeking, but they don’t know what it is they want. The desires of the ego prevent them from reaching eternal happiness. Those whose hearts belong to the heavens know. They ask for something for their original being. When Pope Benedict visited Cyprus, his meeting with Maulana had a significance the common man would not be able to understand. Maulana explains the Pope was taking power for flying away. Flying towards Divine Presence.

Come Clean
Jun19 2010 English 44min
Prophets were sent to call people to cleanliness. The representatives of Shaytan are present in everyone. People’s egos make them think they are owners, commanders and controllers of everything. Allah Almighty ordered Sayyidina Musa, alayhi salam to remove his shoes as he was entering the sacred valley, Tuwa. What is the wisdom? Muslims remove their shoes before entering a holy place but as a symbol, explains Mawlana, they are those shoes that tread on the heart. Every dirtiness, inner and outer alters Truth, brings uncleanliness. Therefore Allah Almighty orders: If you want to come to Me, come clean.

Forbidding the Veil
Jun17 2010 English 53min
Man needs Allāh’s ﷻ support every second. Why was all this created? Wasting our most precious grant, we are losing. We are toying with Reality. Shayṭān has a purpose. Its creation must be the basis of moving closer to Allāh ﷻ. Now, it is impossible to move without the support of heavenly ones. Prophets were sent to advise people. What Allāh ﷻ granted the rich was to be shared with the needy. Forbidding the veil, as France has, carries a penalty. Passing a law over Muslim women requires that Muslim governments send France an ultimatum. Allāh’s ﷻ Order will prevail.

Heavenly Winds
Jun16 2010 English 38min
Paradise is the life that Allāh Almighty chooses for Man. Shayṭān, Allāh ﷻ warns is our greatest enemy, wanting us to remain imprisoned in darkness and fear. Our real being needs heavenly grants but the desire for material enjoyments prevents us from entering the Lord’s Beauty Oceans. Presence in meetings supported by the heavens is therefore crucial. Heavenly winds reach the Earth and give the real being a power, just as the spring winds revive Nature. The physical being must be keenly attentive in order to experience and take a share of the power of these Heavenly Winds.
The Perfection of Man
Jun15 2010 English 42min
According to Allāh Almighty’s Will, one walī controls everything on this planet. If Man understood the importance of his creation he would set down his forehead in obeisance, seeking Eternity. There is no aim greater than reaching the Lord’s heavenly presence. Unlike the disciples of Jesus (as) who asked for a heavenly spread of food for their physical being, the Prophet’s ﷺ Companions suffered hunger thereby reaching the real purpose of their existence. Now, the Ummah is occupied with the unimportant. They are heedless. They must gain self-knowledge and try to reach al-Kamāl: the Perfection of Man.
