By the name of Allah, All-Mighty, All-Merciful, Most Beneficent and Most Munificent.

For every building, there must be an entrance or a way to reach it.

There are the pyramids. For so many thousands of years, people were looking at them and saying, “This is nothing to me. It is just a huge building.” They did not know what they were. By looking from the outside, they were saying, “A building of stones, put in place.”

For thousands of years, no one reached the secret of the pyramids. But finally, when the Last Days were approaching, Allah ﷻ allowed them to know about the pyramids and to find a way into them.

And they opened them and entered, and they found inside the pyramids unexpected things and unbelievable treasures.

What is the purpose of this introduction? Today so many brothers from Germany have come, so many new ones, young people, and also from England so many young people are coming.

I am remembering what my Grandsheikhق was saying to me, when I was surprised that young people were attending our gathering. I was saying to myself, “Among all people, how are they coming? For what purpose are they coming?”

Which power is gathering people, making them come together? Hells! Look! Hell makes young people come to such a meeting. What is it that makes them interested? Young people, how can they be interested in such an Association, in such an assembly? They are leaving their homes, leaving everything behind, and coming to attend such a gathering.

And Grandsheikhق was saying to me, “Oh, look, Nazim Efendi, what you are saying! You must know that each one of mankind is going to be interested in such an assembly, in such meeting, in such an Association. Everyone must be interested.”

“Each one of mankind is like the pyramids, and you must know that everyone has an entrance to himself and that everyone has a possibility to be opened to himself. They are not pyramids, but, like pyramids, if you see people and you say, ‘No way into those people.’ Yet in the end, for everyone, there is a key to him, opening to his treasures, to himself.”

And now there is coming a time in which there are going to be events interesting for everyone, interesting for people individually and interesting generally, because they belong to the nation of Muhammad ﷺ.

His ﷺ prophecies are for all mankind, not for one nation only. His ﷺ prophecies are for all mankind.

As long as time and space are in existence, and man lives in space and time, all people are going to belong to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

And the meaning of this is that the Seal of the Prophets ﷺ is carrying the key to everyone’s treasures, and everyone must be interested, at some point, to reach that key and to open their treasures.

Do not think that from the time of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ up to today, so many people from mankind have passed away without reaching their treasures. That is a great secret which only he ﷺ was granted by his Lord, Allah Almighty.

Allah ﷻ gave him ﷺ all his nation, and he takes all of them into his hands, his powerful hands.

His ﷺ hands are reaching to East and West, covering the whole world, and not this world only but covering the universe. The universe is in his powerful hands, and mankind, particularly his nation, is in his powerful hands.

And our Lord, Allah Almighty, you must believe that He ﷻ is Ya Qadir, All-Powerful, able to do anything. Endless Power Oceans belong to Allah Almighty. He ﷻ can do anything He wants to do. There is no barrier in front of His ﷻ Divine Will.

Nothing in existence can prevent Him ﷻ from doing or from making anything according to His Will. He ﷻ can do it in the shortest moment, so that a very small unit of time may contain years and years.

A hundred years, a thousand years, a million years, even a billion years may be contained in the smallest part of a unit of time. He ﷻ can do that. If you ask from Him ﷻ, asking Him to do something, Allah ﷻ can do it, and nothing prevents Him.

If He ﷻ wants to put the whole world into an atom’s space, into an atom’s size, He can do it. Do not think that if He ﷻ wants to put this big world into a small atom’s size, He must make the atom bigger. No. He ﷻ can put this into this, each one in its own diameter. But you cannot imagine it.

Grandsheikhق was giving an example of knowing about the Lord ﷻ’s power and possibilities. He ﷻ had, and He has, endless possibilities, with endless powers, making the impossible possible. Everything, if He ﷻ wants to do it, is possible for Him.

It may be impossible for you. Yes, for you it is impossible. Therefore, many of mankind cannot imagine that a dead person may become alive. For you it is impossible, but for Him ﷻ it is possible because He had and He has endless possibilities.

And for all mankind, for all mankind, there is a key to their treasures, granted to each one by their Creator. All of you belong to mankind, and that is the reason you are interested in yourself.

Not for myself are you interested and coming to me, no, but you are interested in yourself. You are coming to look for a way into your pyramids, into your treasures.

And that also is from Divine favors and from Divine mercies, to make you interested in such an assembly, in such an Association, to look for a possibility to enter yourself. This is what we are doing now.

Perhaps it is the only assembly on the entire earth with such a condition and such qualities. But there are going to be many more such assemblies on earth, because the time is approaching, and everyone must reach their treasures.

Before the Day of Resurrection, everyone must reach their treasures, must reach an opening. The earlier you are, the higher levels you should reach, and you may reach a high station in the Divine Presence.

That is the reason why Allah Almighty will finally send one holy person, pure from every direction, who will give many more possibilities through miracles, through a miraculous way, to make a quick opening for mankind.

And we are signs, and you are signs, for that opening soon.

Now, some pyramids are going to be more difficult than others to open, and some of them are going to be easier. As long as you can help, you may find your way inside more easily. Therefore, from both sides we must work on it.

One person was asking the Prophet, Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, saying, “Ya RasulAllah, please help me on the Day of Resurrection.”

And the Prophet ﷺ was saying, “And you also help yourself, so that I may help you. You can help me by praying, by doing more praying. Do more praying, and that is going to be a help to me from your side, and then I will help you. When you are helping and I am helping, it will be all right. Quickly you may reach your goal.”

It is not only from one side but from two sides that you must try for an opening. Allah Almighty says, “O My servant, step toward Me. If you are taking one step toward Me, I am taking ten toward you.”

Therefore, we must be active, increasing our efforts. If you are saying, “Allah, Allah…” ten times, make it one hundred. If you are doing, “Allah, Allah…” one hundred times, make it five hundred, make it one thousand! Yes, more effort is needed in this work, as if making holes, drilling.

If one tool is not enough, bring another, stronger one, then another, even stronger still. Just as people drill for water or petrol, if one drill is broken, they bring a more powerful one, and then an even more powerful one.

You must make your steps firm, more powerful, day by day. It is worship that makes you move toward Allah Almighty. Make it firm and continuous, not only for Holy months, but continuous always, until one day…

Who knows the thickness of that rock? Maybe one day you may reach the center, maybe one week, maybe one month, maybe one year. But it will not be more than seven years. If you work without tiring, you may reach in seven minutes or in seven years.

Sometimes some people may reach in seven minutes. They may do it, some powerful ones. But mostly in seven years, if a person is firmly and carefully following his way, he must reach. You must help yourself!

And Awliya, they are happy. They are looking. The Prophet ﷺ is looking at you, extending his his hands to catch people. And Allah Almighty ﷻ is asking from you to walk toward Him ﷻ, to step toward Him ﷻ. That is pleasure, endless pleasures, endless happiness, for you.

We are training, we are exercising, we are practicing step by step. Do not lose your steps. Shaytan is ordering, asking you to place your steps on wrong ways. You must be very careful. You must know where you are putting your steps.

Then Allah Almighty will carry you, His Prophet ﷺ will carry you, and all the blessed ones will look after you, taking your hand, not letting you fall down.

May Allah ﷻ grant you firm steps toward His Divine Presence, bless you with a bright and magnificent future prepared for you, and place you in the neighborhood of His beloved Prophet, Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

We are asking forgiveness and saying, “Astaghfirullah… Alhamdulillah… wa shukru li-Llah.”

Al-Fatiha.

This series was initiated by the SufiHub Team in honour of the 2nd Urs of our beloved Sheikh, the late Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Sattar Khan, who lovingly dedicated himself to transcribing and summarising the daily sohbahs of Mawlana Sheikh Nazimق.

It was through this blessed service that he began his journey on this beautiful Way in 2008, remaining steadfast upon it until his final breath in 2023. Today, his legacy continues at our Zawiyah at A’Posh Bizhub Singapore through his representatives Sidi Shalihin, Ismail, and Syed Muhammad, who humbly carry forward the path he sincerely paved.

We pray that our dear Sheikh Abdul Sattar has been reunited with his beloved Mawlana Sheikh Nazimق and all our Grandshaykhs, and that their light continues to guide us always on the way of Haqq.

The text was originally taken from Liberating the Soul – A Guide for Spiritual Growth by Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqaniق. With love and sincere intention, parts of this sohbah have been gently revised by the SufiHub Team for clarity and contextual relevance.

If you wish to share it on your platforms, kindly post it in full and ensure that proper credit is given to all its sources. For this is adab, the very core of our beautiful religion and way.
