Discourse of Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi

Cheetham Hill Mosque

Manchester July I999

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah

Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah

wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasulullah,sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam.

My heart was drawn to you by the invitaon I re-ceived from the spiritual leadership here and whenthe date was fixed we realised it was also the celebra-

on for Moulay Abdu'I-Qadir al-Jaylani, radiyallahuanhu. I thought that these two events, the drawingtogether of the hearts of the Muslims here in thiscountry and the celebraon of Moulay Abdul Qadiral-Jaylani were not disconnected in any way. Beforewe begin the recitaon of the Burda I want to say afew words and later I will say something else on an-

other level.

Really the important reason why we should gather isto allow our hearts to be expanded and to receivelights from Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, in this gather-ing, which will most certainly happen by the barakahof Allah and the promise of Allah to the people of the

gathering of the dhikr of Allah.

I also want to say we have a duty. This is most impor-

tantly to those brothers among us who are the oldest

members of the community. We have a duty to save

your grandsons. The sons and the grandsons, the new

generaon must not only be held and strengthened

inside Islam but they must be the means by which

this country and all of Europe must embrace Islam.

There is no other outcome but that this becomes a

Muslim country. Remember the Chrisan religion hascollapsed. It has collapsed theologically and it has col-

lapsed morally before the religion of the secular ju-

daism of Hollywood and the United States. At the

funeral of the son of the former President Kennedy,

the Cardinal of New York introducing the event of the

celebraon of what they call 'the mass', announced

that the mass was a gathering of the chrisans to cel-

ebrate a meal, a memorial meal. At that moment it is

clear that the chrisan church has actually dropped

their central claim of the blasphemy that this bread

was transformed into the, astaghfirullah, flesh of

sayyidina Issa, alayhi sallim. It is therefore now clear

that this religion has collapsed before the forces ofthe secular world, but there is no way that your sons

and grandsons can survive unless we reconstruct

here Islamic modalies of the use of our money and

eventually of the actual substance of our money. We

have to provide an educaon that is outside the state

system because you cannot make compable the

kafir system with what it is teaching from a very early

3


4/26

age and the morality it is inslling with the high and

noble Deen of Islam.

Equally the community of Muslims from the sub-con-

nent must purify their social pracces in the light of

the moral obligaons of Islam concerning marriage

and the nature of the marital contract. There is no es-

caping this and it must not bring shame on us that

things, which are not Islamic pracces, are being car-

ried out here.

So we have strong dues. If we follow the Sunnah of

Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then we will find

that in every aspect of our lives, and this includes the

fundamental nature of business and trading unl it is

under the rule of what has been laid down in Madi-

nah al-Munawarrah by Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sal-

lam, under the orders of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala,

we will not have success. There is no use making an

economy in the Muslim community that is bourgeois

capitalist and then expecng your sons and your

grandsons to be other than secularised bourgeois

capitalists. We have a noble Deen which covers everyaspect of life, as our enemies never cease to remind

us, and that involves our obligaon to protect our

children, to respect virginity, to respect the woman

with her right of choice in a partner and to trade ac-

cording to the rules that have been laid down by

Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in Madinah al-Mu-

nawarrah.

4


5/26

Every aspect of life we have to revise and not think

that we can sit among these disgusng and decadent

kuffar who occupy these islands in the most degraded

circumstances and allow the blessed green plant of

Islam to flourish. We will succeed in this but it must

be done by tearing down false divisions.

For example, the division between Barelwi and De-

obandi. There is no fundamental difference betweenthese two groups. I have never been sasfied by their

arguments. Finally, I asked one of the leaders of one

of the two groups to show me where these two

places were on the map. We took out a map of the

sub-connent and they pointed to Deoband and

Barelwi and there we saw the fact of the maer.

When the Brish claimed authority over the sub-con-

nent and destroyed the supremely noble leadership

of the Muslims and Mughal rule and took Delhi as

their capital which had before been the commercial

capital Calcua, at that moment the Ulama le Delhi

and went into a kind of exile in two villages outsideDelhi. Therefore, at that moment these Ulama sepa-

rated the 'Amr of power and command and the au-

thorisaon of Islamic law from Deen of Islam.

Therefore whatever emanated from these two places

had already surrendered that essenal element with-

out which Islam cannot exist, which is the 'amr of the

5


6/26

ruler. Therefore, the Deen as taught there is incom-

plete in both these places, however excellent in many

other aspects each of these schools are. In that sense

to be strong Muslims we must be of the school of

Delhi, not of Deoband or Barelwi. Of course we love

Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the conflict

about the adab to Rasul is absurd because when you

examine it both pares love Rasul and in their differ-

ent ways do honour him.

This cannot be done by debate; it can only be done

by command. I said to one of our dear brothers, a

Barelwi 'alim of great repute in Birmingham, Look

here, we have to stop this quarrel, Ill tell you my so-

luon. I will get the leaders of Deoband and the lead-

ers of Barelwi together and I will come on an

elephant and I will say 'Lock them up for 24 hours. If

they have not come to a mutual agreement that both

pares are Muslim, both pares are pleasing to Allah,

then the foot of this elephant will go on their heads.

And the 'alim looked up and said, 'Subhanallah, that

is what Umar ibn al-Khaab would have done.' I saw

that he recognised that the issue was not the contentof the conflict but the lack of an authority.

What is needed at this me is to bring the Muslims

together, to unify them, to stop these small divisions

and to pay extremely careful aenon to transming

the message to the new generaon that Islam in-

volves every aspect of life and that it is not something

6


7/26

to run from but something to run towards.

InshaAllah with this dhikr the hearts will be affected,

the hearts will move, lights will manifest from the At-

tributes of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, and inspire us

and inshaAllah later I am going to ask our brother

Hajj Muhammad Amin, who has come all this way

with a group from South Africa to be with you

tonight, to tell something of his experience in South

Africa with the Muslim community there becausethere are significant parallels that relate to 20 years

ago in South Africa and now. We have to deal with

these problems and they are our problems.

I would just like to say one more thing, we have to

eliminate usage and acceptance of the term 'Asian'.

'Asian' if you will forgive me, is the same as 'nigger'. It

is not acceptable. It is the division to allow you to be

classified ethnically. If you are classified ethnically,

now you know in Europe itself, you will be 'cleansed'.

We reject the term 'Asian'. If I go into a room and

there are two groups from the sub-connent and one

group are Muslim and the other group are hindu,what is my response? Is it to do with being Asian? No.

These are my brothers and to these people I say

audhu billahi min ash-shaytanir-rajeem. Finished. So

where is Asian? No, we are the Muslims and they are

the kuffar and that is the only difference we canbe al-

lowed to teach, to accept or to declare.

7


8/26

Bismillah - Burda.

In the lile me before Maghrib I would just like to

say another word towards what we were looking at

at the beginning of the evening because I want you to

change your perspecve, and widen your perspecve

about your own desny. Your own desny with Allah,

subhanahu wa ta'ala, and the desnies of your fami-

lies that have come from a far place to this place and

how we meet together. People from Europe, people

from the sub-connent who find ourselves with the

same Deen and in close brotherhood and we find that

we have the same enemy.

I would just like you to know that our people have a

Centre established in the north of Albania where we

are trying to strengthen the people of Albania be-

cause you must understand that in Europe now there

is a country whose populaon is 90% Muslim.

Enormous aempts are being made by the catholicsto overturn this stasc and as you know the stasc

was overturned in Bosnia and in Kosovo by the simple

method of genocide but this genocide is not new. We

now have all the data and stascs of 100 years of

slaughter of Muslims inside Europe during the me

from 1900 unl now, mostly during the me of the

8


9/26

collapse of the Osmanli rule in Istanbul of the Khalif

in the last period of Islamic power. These stascs go

to 5 million, in a most conservave study, 5 million

were killed. That slaughter connued in Cyprus in the

middle of this century and then in Bosnia, and then in

Kosovo in what was clearly an organised genocide to

allow the world banking system to take over the

Balkans and break the green crescent that went from

Sarajevo to Istanbul.

If we go back further in history, just 150 years, then

of course we get the whole story of the disaster of

what the English did in the sub-connent. That has

two dimensions. One was the cruel and evil destruc-

on of the last of the Mughal rulers, Bahadur Shah II

and at the same me the removal of 'amr was accom-panied by another event which was the removal of

the gold coins of the Mughal Islamic rule and the re-

placing of it with the paper rupee. In one move 'amr

was removed in Delhi, and the coinage was removed,

which is the coinage decreed and authorised by

Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, from Madinah al-

Munawarrah, menoned in Qur'an and the basis for

Zakah. Without the dinar there cannot be Zakah.

The most disnguished 'Ulama of the great madh-

habs of Abu Hanifa and Malik, may Allah be pleased

with both of them, have said that the Zakah cannot

be collected except through this instrument. Papermoney is not acceptable. Also Zakah is not given, it is

9


10/26

taken. Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, says in the Qur'an,

'Khud! - Take!' So unl the Zakah is taken the Islam is

gone. Islam is built on five pillars - Shahada, Salah,

Zakah, Sawm, and Hajj and every me Allah, sub-

hanahu wa ta'ala, menons Salah He menons Zakah.

Is this not correct? Iqama Salah wa ata' Zakah.

I have two pictures I want to share with you, because

when I saw them they made such an impression on

me and upset me so much because it shows whathappens when we allow ourselves to be dominated

by the kuffar. Here is a popular image of the last of

the Mughal rulers in all his splendour, sing on his

throne receiving peons. Here is how he was, and

when the Brish were finished with him this was the

last of the Mughal rulers. This is the desny that the

kuffar have for the Muslims, and you know that they

killed his children in front of his eyes. We cannot let

this be repeated. What we must do is to take the

Deen of Islam out from the mosques into the streets

and to the people of this country unl they have ac-

cepted the Deen of Islam. Islam is the Deen al-Haqq.

When it is declared it cannot be refused. When it isdeclared then the people will accept it. We have the

treasure and we must give the treasure. They know

that we have it and we have to give it to them. Dawa

is the primary responsibility of the Ulama and the

Imams of the Muslim community of this country. Un-

less that Dawa is done we will connue the story

which began with the horror of what happened to

10


11/26

the Muslim ruler and the degradaon when he was

flung into the darkest of dungeons and le to rot

unl he died of disease and the slaughter of all his

family.

Our polics are not polics because we know that

there is a no power in the polical system. The peo-

ple who are in the seats of government do not have

power. For example, in the Bosnian situaon the

hands of NATO are dictated by the world financialkafir system and its leadership. Equally they control

this country and all of Europe. Power does not belong

with them. Power belongs with Allah, subhanahu wa

ta'ala. La hawla wa la quwwata ila billahi al-'aliyyul-

'adhim.

We have been given this message. We have in our

hands the means to change the whole situaon.

When we die we go before Allah, subhanahu wa

ta'ala, and we will be asked if we did it. A message

has come to us and we have to transmit that mes-

sage. Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, says in the Qur'an

in one ayah that the real Da'wa is thunder. It is likethat, when we declare Islam it will be like thunder.

The call to Islam will not be raonal with arguments .

It will be the manifestaon that what we have is what

they need. What we have is what they do not have.

You cannot be here as aliens in this country. This is

the land Allah has desned you for. Why, because he

wants Islam here'. It is not for you to be rich or for

11


12/26

you to feel an underclass oppressed by the kuffar.

Allah has brought you here because He wants some-

thing from you. The people of Bosnia and the people

of Kosovo have had to return to their Deen by the

door of the funeral prayer because they had watered

it down and watered it down and compromised and

compromised and suddenly they realised they were

not killing them because they were Bosnians. They

were not killing them because they were Albanians.

They were killing them because they were Muslim.What they destroyed were the mosques. The ones

they killed were the Imams.

This is Europe. What is today in the Balkans, tomor-

row it will be here and yet we are the most significant

community in Europe. We are I2 million people,

maybe more, and we have been kept separate and

disunited by the kuffar and they take our money and

they take our taxes. You must realise that the Muslim

lands are the richest lands on the face of the earth

and the most oppressed and bankrupted and poor

countries are those Muslim countries. All the wealth

is with them and none of it goes into their pockets.

This is the situaon and this is what will turnover but

it will come from here, right in the heart of the land

of the kuffar.You are the people, we are the people

who have to change this situaon and by it we have

to understand we do not have a loyalty here and we

do not have a loyalty in Pakistan. Our loyalty is to the

12


13/26

Muslims wherever they are and our land is wherever

the Muslims are. In that sense all of us here must

take on the responsibility of assuring that Albania be-

comes Dar al-Islam because there is a majority of

Muslims and the rule of Islam must eventually be es-

tablished in that place. This is not by fighng in the

streets or terrorism or any of these foolish nihilisc

paths that we have seen from the despairing Arabs in

their disastrous desire to have the western transac-

on and somehow keep their Islam.

The people who follow Moulay Abdul Qadir al-Jaylani

know that this whole event is in the power of Allah by

the Decree of Allah and that we do it with a light

heart, fearlessly because we know that it is He who

decrees. Allah is the Powerful. La hawla wa la

quwwata ila billahi al-'aliyyul 'adhim.

Aer Maghrib we will return, go deeper, insha'Allah,

with the dhikr and with the fikr to see if we can

strengthen ourselves and inspire and awaken all of us

to this task. You are not here for your business, you

are not here for your families. Open the Qur'an againand again and it says, 'Your Dunya is your wealth and

your families.' That is not what Allah is asking from

you. He is asking something else. What is this some-

thing else? It is not just to come and make the five

prayers, of course we make the five prayers, but

ubudiyya is more than ibada. It is really to serve Allah

in the cause of transforming society. Islam is a ma-

13


14/26

chine for making civilisaon in this world and opening

the gates of the Jannah in the next world. Dunya wal

Akhirah. This is the business of the Muslims.

Wherever we have been, wherever we have gone,

wherever we have established ourselves, civilisaon

has resulted. In Delhi look at the buildings. Are they

hindu? No, they are Muslim. All over India. are they

hindu buildings? No, they are Muslim buildings. Akbar

put water going through every house in his capitalbecause his people had to have clean water to do

their wudu. Civilisaon. Go to Morocco, the same

thing. Civilisaon. Go to Istanbul. Civilisaon. Go to

the Malay world. Civilisaon.

That is in the visible world, in the invisible world

awliya. Awliya wa salihun. People with lights mani-

fesng. Ma'rifatullah. Men of knowledge, men of illu-

minaon, who illumine whole cies by their wisdom

following the path of Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sal-

lam and the Sahaba in Madinah at-Munawarrah. As it

was said, Madinah was not illuminated by the lights

of its streets but by the light of the Sahaba who livedin it.

This night also is to ask Allah's blessings on Moulay

Abdal Qadr al-Jaylani, the greatest of the da'is among

the later people. We love him very much because he

embodied the spirit of Hajj. He sent out his followers

to bring people from every land, so that wherever

14


15/26

you travel in the Muslim world you will find Qadiris.

Following Moulay Abdal Qadir, al-Jaylani is a light. It

is a light that is invisible and inward and it is a light

that shines outwardly.

I was once in 'Umrah at a me when Makkah was al-

most deserted. In the middle of the night, around 3

or 4 in the morning I was sing at the Ka'bah and

there were maybe just 200 people, not more, in the

tawaf and sing. Away on the other side of theharam I saw, it was just of course a silhouee, but my

heart was moved by this outline of a Muslim sing

on the other side of the haram. Suddenly he got up

and he ran across the haram to me and greeted me.

He said, 'You are Qadiri. 'I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'I am

Qadiri. Tell me your awrad and I will tell you my

awrad. 'This was the exchange that we had in the

middle of night under the stars in Makkah. I recited

the wird of my Shaykh and he recited the awrad he

had from his silsilah. This is the spirit of the deep spir-

itual brotherhood that exists very specially among the

people who love Moulay Abdul Qadir al-Jaylani and

his courageous defence of the shariah and adviceabout following the shariah and insistence on em-

bedding the jewel of ma'rifah in the seng of the

noble and blessed Shariah of Madinah al-Munawar-

rah from Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and Allah,

subhanahu wa ta'ala. In Qur'an and in his teaching of

Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

15


16/26

We will do more dhikr now. In this dhikr you must ex-

pect. You must expect from Allah that the heart will

expand. That it will expand out from the periphery of

your body unl it takes in everybody, so you do not

stop with your body but you are part of all the broth-

erhood of all the people listening to the dhikr be-

cause of the love that you have for them, because of

the love Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, had. Never

forget this wonderful discourse between Rasul, sallal-

lahu alayhi wa sallim, and Abu Dharr at the Ka'bahwhen he said, 'Oh Abu Dharr I long for them, I yearn

for them.' And he said, 'Who Rasulullah?' He replied,

'I long for my brothers.' He said, 'Are we not your

brothers?' He replied, 'You are only my companions.'

He said, 'Who are your brothers?' He replied, 'They

are the ones who will love me without ever having

seen me.' And this is the high honour of all of us who

follow in the footsteps of Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam. Or as Shaykh al-Akbar, Muhyiddin ibn al-

'Arabi said, 'I do not have the adab to say I follow in

the footsteps of Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallim, I

follow in the dust le by Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam. 'This is our posion.

You must concentrate inwardly and not outwardly on

your own hearts because, as I say, you must expect

Allah has made a big desny for you to have brought

you into this gathering, to have brought you to this

place, to have brought you to this country, to have

16


17/26

set you among the kuffar who hate Islam and now in

their desperaon are beginning to long for it. You are

the people, especially the young people here, whowill take the banner of Islam and raise it high over all

of the kuffar unl they submit to you. You are the

leaders, you're the sultans, you are the princes and

you will take the banner of Islam unl all of Europe is

Muslim, inshaAllah.

I am going to ask Hajj Muhammad Amin from Johan-

nesburg to say some words to you that inshaAllah

will be of use.

Hajj Muhammad Amin Mayatfrom Johannesburg, South Africa

Audhu billahi minash shaytanir rajim

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

The Shaykh has asked me to say few things aboutSouth Africa. I will try to be as informave as possi-

ble.

The Muslims in South Africa of Indian origin have

been there for over 100 years now. Many of the Mus-

lims are from Gujurat province and others are from

Hyderabad. In the 100 years that we have been there

17


18/26

we have built many mosques, we have many Muslim

schools and I can tell you that the people are not un-

like yourselves, they are very hospitable, very gener-

ous. In fact if there is anything about them Allah will

bless them for their generosity and save them by

their generosity.

In these years that we have been there we did not

take the Deen to the local populaon. We did not do

the Da'wa vigorously amongst the black community,nor did we do that with the white community. In fact,

we became very insular and we have not gone out to

the people. Today we see the results of that because

we did not share this jewel of Islam with the people

in South Africa and indeed in southern Africa. What

you hear today in South Africa and the whole of

southern Africa is about violence and you see how

people are being aacked. People are aacked even

in the masjids today The people are not safe any

more. We feel today aer looking at things closely

and aer looking at things the way that Shaykh Ab-

dalqadir has taught us, that we have to go out vigor-

ously and very posively to take this message of theDeen to all the people.

This is the message that I would like to share with you

that you are here in England and you should not think

that you are here just trading, or just to make money

and just to be comfortable here. You are here for a

specific purpose. In fact, any of us, wherever we are,

18


19/26

there are two things that we should be there for. One

is Da'wa which we should do vigorously, and then

unl such me as we have sufficient numbers on our

side the other is to do Jihad. We are not here for a

private purpose; we are here for Allah and His Rasul.

Wherever we are, we are the best of people but

somemes we tend to go into a bit of a slumber and I

urge you all not to ignore your surroundings and to

go out to the people.

Go out to the non- Muslims, the Europeans and give

them the message that you have. Share it with them,

you will be surprised, they will readily accept the

message of Islam. We should not be insular and this is

my message to you. You are all wonderful people and

you have the best Deen. You should share this with

the people you are with here on this connent. I

think you should take the words of Shaykh Abdalqadir

very seriously and you should open yourselves to the

people around you.

Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi

I would like to just confirm that from this point on weshould think especially to the new generaon thatthey should see themselves not as belonging to Man-chester with some anchorage in the sub-connent

but they should see themselves as being part of the

19


20/26

Muslim Ummah and see that we yearn for the'Umrah and we yearn for the House of Allah and weyearn for Madinah al-Munawarrah and the barakah

and the nur of Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, thatwe find there. But our job is where Allah has put us orwhere Allah drives us to, forces us to, to carry out Hisbusiness. We are on His business because life is veryquick. The Sufis say, 'Life lasts two hours.' Over in avery short me. You do not want to look back andsay, 'I should have done it and I did not do it,' be-

cause then it is too late. You want to be able to say, 'Idid what I could. I did more than I thought I could butit was with the help of Allah and I would not havedone it if Allah had not chosen me to do it.' In thatsense all the Muslims have been chosen by Allah,subhanahu wa ta'ala. He chose them from before thecreaon of the world in the contract of Alastu birab-

bikum! And we are the ones who remember that con-tract while the kuffar forgot that contract.

This is what we have to do and I want you to feel that

you must visit the Muslims in other places and travel

in the land and see what Allah has done. Travel in the

land and see what death has done. Visit the Muslimsof Bosnia and visit the Muslims of Kosovo and Albania

and unite all our people together. The first step of

that is to unite all the communies of this country

and finish with these separate sectarian and false di-

visions and local divisions almost driving you back to

a kind of pre-Islamic loyalty to where you came from.

InshaAllah this will be what we will achieve.

20


21/26

We have just one last piece of dhikr to intensify the

quality of this very blessed gathering of such noble

people that you cannot say which among you are the

most blessed. Like Rasul, sallallahu alayhi wa sallim,

said about his community, it is like the rain, you will

not know which is the beer part of it, those at the

beginning or those who come at the end.

Du'a

Oh Allah you have brought us to this place, give us

the benefit of this place. Protect us from the evil of

this place. Oh Allah, through us make this place a

place for the worship of you. Oh Allah, make us the

instruments of establishing the worship of You in this

place.

Oh Allah, give us the spirit to call the people to wor-

ship Allah and to make Salah.

Oh Allah, give us the strength and the clarity of heart

to restore the Zakah unl we insist on being ordered

to pay it by restoring Khilafa. Oh Allah, give us back

the nobility of power in Istanbul and in Delhi.

Oh Allah, establish power in Istanbul and in Delhi and

in all the Muslim lands and give us the unity and the

clarity of purpose that we want nothing but to estab-

21


22/26

lish the Deen.

Oh Allah, make the future nothing but the history of

the expansion and the establishment of Islam in this

coming me. Oh Allah, make us parcipants in the es-

tablishing of the Deen.

Oh Allah, take from our hearts the love of the Dunya

and of the family and of wealth. Oh Allah, make us

see the benefit of the family to be people who know

how to glorify Allah and for whom it is a pleasure toglorify Allah. Allah, give taste for the dhikr of Allah to

the youths and the children. Oh Allah, protect them

and keep them in Islam.

Oh Allah restore the dignity and nobility of marriage

among the Muslim community. Allah protect us from

the morality and the corrupon of the kuffar in family

life.

Oh Allah, protect the children from the evils of the

kuffar.

Oh Allah, make us clear in our establishment of the

Deen because of the love of Rasul, sallallahu alayhi

wa sallam, for the children.

Oh Allah, make us people who love the children and

protect them.

22


23/26

Oh Allah, make us honour the Muslim women and

Allah purify us from any un-Islamic pracce to force

women into marriage, make us people who see that

marriage is a thing of choice and of delight and of

pleasure in obeying Allah's orders in marriage.

Oh Allah, strengthen the Muslim community by the

act of marriage and protect us from separaon.

Oh Allah, expand the community of the Muslims, ex-

pand it by everything that is pleasing to Allah. Expand

it by marrying into the community of the kuffar to

bring them into the Deen by the act of marriage.Ex-

pand the Deen of Islam by the wealth of the Muslims

that they come to trade with us to get our wealth and

so they enter Islam. Allah, make them enter Islam by

every door that He has permied to be a door to

enter Islam.
