Mankind Will Harvest What They Plant

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

First of all, we must say again, we are happy to be here. Old Murids, new Murids, everybody masha’Allah coming and coming alhamduliLlah.

Allāh ﷻ says in the Qur’ān, We created you from Earth and made the ground flat to grow everything; vegetables, trees, wheat. Some people think – I heard about a new fashion (trend) – that Earth is flat. It’s from Allāh’s ﷻ Power, Qudrah to make it like that. They cannot imagine that it’s round like a ball. So, they just say it’s flat.

Allāh ﷻ said, “We created from Earth and to Earth you will return.” And afterwards, “ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا”, “Thumma Yu`īdukum Fīhā Wa Yukhrijukum ‘Ikhrājāan”, “Afterwards He will return you into it (the earth), and bring you forth (again on the Day of Resurrection).” (Qur’ān 71:18). We will bring you out of Earth again. And the creation continues from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

Sayyidinā Ahmad Al-Rifai, the Peer of Rifai Ṭarīqah, has great karamāt. He was in ḥajj once. People heard a voice coming from the grave of Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, saying, “My grandson has come. Come kiss my hand.” The white holy hand of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam came out and Sayyidinā Ahmad Al-Rifai kissed it. Many people saw this; maybe more than a hundred, five hundred or a thousand people saw this.

Another karāmāh of his, is he said, “I died and ascended to the first, second, third and reached the fourth sky. I saw an ocean. This ocean was made of sand.” A call addressed him, “Come closer and look.” When he looked, each grain was a planet. Each grain of sand was a planet, but from afar it looked like sand.

Of course, when he told people about it, at that time they didn’t know about planets. They maybe thought it looked like the moon or something. But these grains looked like the earth. This is to show the Majesty and Mighty of Allāh ﷻ. He ﷻ is “Al-Khallāq” which means He ﷻ is all the time creating.

For this, we are saying, alhamduliLlah we are here, we came to this world. And in shā’a Llāh, with the barakah of our mashāyikh, you take knowledge, real knowledge from Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, from mashāyikh and Awliyā’u Llāh. By the promise of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla, whoever follows him ﷺ will be in Jannah forever when we are resurrected again on the Day of Resurrection. For this, Mawlānā Shaykh was all the time calling people to Paradise. Many people alhamduliLlah have come and as I said, new good generations are coming, following Mawlānā Shaykh.

The holy book, Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n tells everything about this world and the next world. And of course, as we said in the beginning, Allāh ﷻ created the world and everything human beings are in need of: animals, plants. Everything is enough for all mankind on this Earth. But many people from old times, have been going around showing that they are doing something and trying to cheat people. They tried many times to say, “I am stronger than You,” to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

Nimrod built a tower and was throwing arrows at the sky. Pharaoh was also like this. He told his friend to build something to reach Allāh ﷻ. And now, people of this time are also trying. They are saying, “We will reach the moon. We will reach Mars.” But they’re only cheating themselves first, and after that cheating people. Some of them stay in the sky, not so far away, maybe a hundred or two hundred miles away. And when they come back, they become like snails; like nothing inside them, finished.

Every time, we have somebody who claims he is the savior of humanity. That he gives a good service; serving humanity. But when they’re doing something, it’s for their benefit, to make more money, to be richer. It’s mainly for this. Now, they’re also making some play (theater) with war and so. And everybody becomes very afraid, very worried about what will happen, what will be, and what we must do. All of this is not like what appears, what people see. There are many things under it. They are cheating people.

For this, believers and those following the way of Allāh ﷻ and Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam don’t worry about anything. If you are like this, Allāh ﷻ makes your heart satisfied and you don’t worry about anything. Then, you will always be safe, in shā’a Llāh. Mawlānā was giving good tidings about this. AlhamduliLlah, there’s no need to worry. In shā’a Llāh, Allāh ﷻ will send our savior Sayyidinā Al-Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām.

What’s happening now is because of what people have been doing. Whatever they’re planting, they’re harvesting. If you plant wheat, barley, potatoes, this is what you’ll harvest. But if you plant bad things, bad things will come out; it won’t be useful for anything. Yesterday we were in a garden. There was a plant. They plant it everywhere but it doesn’t look nice and even smells very bad. If you plant this plant, you won’t smell a rose or jasmine or so.

For this, in this time, don’t worry. And it’s better to keep silent to not make people against you. Just be silent and watch. AlhamduliLlah, everything Mawlānā was saying is appearing slowly, slowly. Before, Mawlānā used to say to go outside the cities, to take a place in the countryside. But alhamduliLlah, in the last years he was saying, stay in your homes and don’t worry about anything. And don’t say anything. Don’t be with the crowd. Because being with the crowd is dangerous.

May Allāh ﷻ keep us safe and make us reach these good days. In shā’a Llāh, they are near; but “Allāhu ﷻ ‘A’lam,” “Allāh ﷻ knows best.” It really looks like there can’t be anything worse than this. In shā’a Llāh may Allāh ﷻ keep us safe, happy and together, in shā’a Llāh. May we reach these days and be with Sayyidinā Al-Mahdi.

These days will be very nice days. Some people are also cheating people in that. They say, “We must take something with us. How will we live in these days?” These days will be completely different than now; after Sayyidinā Al-Mahdi comes. There’s no need for this technology.

A hundred years ago, there was one brilliant man who said that there’s no need for all of this for electricity, you can take electricity from Earth. This is one of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla’s miracles. Mawlānā Shaykh said that all this technology will be finished. This technology will be like the stone age compared to that technology.

When Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla wants something, nothing can stop it. So, in the end of times, when Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām comes, it will be a very nice time. May Allāh ﷻ bless you. May Allāh ﷻ keep you safe, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Al-Fatiha.
