Allah Loves Happy Servants

Allah loves happy servants

No smiling? I don’t want no-smiling people sitting in front of me. They must go to the barn  or they are going to smile by force.

Look at `Y’ (a murid of Sheykh Efendi who is physically handicapped since birth). He is so happy. He is smiling. Never you see him sad. Huh? Look. You’re right. Because you have everything complete. That’s why you are sad. As Sheykh Mevlana is saying, `You are right. It’s because you have been created as man and not donkey. That’s why you are sad.’
Astaghfirullah al-Azim wa atubu ilaih.

Look at you. You are so upset all the time. Your faces are down. But never anything is happening.

What is it that’s making you so sad? The guarantee for tomorrow morning, huh? That’s why you are so sad? You are forgetting the Hadith of the Prophet (sws), saying to you, `Pray every prayer as if you are not going to reach to another prayer.’ If you finish your prayer now and up till Fajar if you are thinking sincerely, not just when you’re hearing me then thinking a little bit but all the other times you are forgetting, no. Sincerely if you are thinking, `I may not reach to the morning prayer and Allah doesn’t like people being sad’. Do you think you’re still going to be sad then? You die like that and you go to the Presence like that. And if question is given to you, `O my servant, I gave you everything complete. Why were you not happy?’

Tell me what is bothering you? Is it other than Dunya? If it’s other than Dunya then I know. Definitely. Is that why you are so sad? Meaning, are you so sad that you are not making progress in the way of Allah? Are you so sad that you are not getting up for Tahajjud prayer? Allah, Allah. Heh, you have the right to be sad then.

So, think on it. You are free. But think again. One more time think. Think that you are not a priority. Think. But you can be priority. In Allah’s book you can be priority. Not through
complaining and having problems but through submission and thanking, saying, `You are giving me from this position to this position. I was happy when You gave to me. Should I be sad when You take it away?’ As our Sheykh is saying, `If Allah subhana wa ta’ala gives you the whole world by this morning, the real believer should not get happy for it. Because the real believer is knowing the burden of that. And if He takes it away from your hand by evening time and you have nothing left, the real believer should not be sad because Allah is enough. Hasbinallah wa ni’mal wakeel.

He has given to His Prophet (sws) saying, `You are My Habib. Habibullah’. Knowing all this and? And He made His people to torture him. Did he become sad with Allah? No. He became sad for them, crying for them, saying, `Turn around. Don’t be like this. Turn around. Don’t be doing this. Turn around.’ He was sad for them. They were running and
torturing him and he was saying, `Ya Rabbi, don’t punish them because they don’t know any better.’

What’s the matter? What’s the matter people? Thuuh!

A murid: Someone just drove by right now and screamed, `I love Jesus!’

Sheykh Efendi: Good. We love Jesus too. Say, `MashaAllah, we are together!’ They love Jesus, huh? Which one? The father, the son or the holy ghost?

Sheytan is making people Maskara. 4 billion. Only a handful of them are
thinking real about Jesus. They became a joke to themselves. For the world they
don’t change their minds. Sheytan is saying, `Never. Don’t go away. You are my
best buddies. Through you I am fooling these Muslims too now. You are so
civilized. The first world countries. You have money. They don’t have it. They
are running just like you now. I got them on the hook too. They are so sad day
and night.’

At least these Americans they are not sad. They jump up and down
and they enjoy their lives. The Muslims are sad. Unbelievable. I don’t know
what to think.
