His Imperial Majesty, The Grand Sultan Abdul Hamid Khan II, Emperor of the Ottomans, Caliph of the Faithful (d.1918). He was deposed on the 27th of April 1909. Sultan Abdul Hamid II was the last Ottoman Sultan and Caliph to rule with absolute power, and was succeeded by Mehmed V. His deposition following the Young Turk Revolution welcomed the return to constitutional rule, the eventual abolishment of the nearly 700 year Turkish monarchy, and over 400 years of Ottoman claim to the office of the Caliphate.
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim: Allahuma yansuru! They strayed from the path, they went too far. They strayed from keeping divine orders, which is why it was sent upon them. Allah does not send (an affliction) upon anyone without a reason, and so much has befallen them!
(…) He shouldn’t wait; let him come. Amna ’l-amaan, there is safety in Sham. On a tasbeeh, you can see that all beads are strung together. If you cut the string, they will fall off one by one. Similarly, these tyrants were all connected to each other, but he snapped it from one side and now all of them will fall off and there is no way to be strung another time, no. People, particularly Muslims, have learned their lesson that if they bring to power similar (disobedient) ones again, their punishment will double. After this, they will bring their kings, the Sultans, and Mahdi (‘alayhi salam) will accept them, as Grandshaykh (qadas Allahu sirrahul ‘Aziz) said, “Kings will be the Ministers of Mahdi (‘alayhi salam).”
There is one Sultan who will rule over the whole Muslim world as the Caliph of Mahdi (‘alayhi salam). All other kings will be in Turkey, Sham, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Tunis, Jazaa’ir (Algeria), Pakistan… but Pakistanis are different. All will be under the rule of their own kings, who will take permission from Mahdi (‘alayhi salam) and move forward by his command. I am waiting for Syria now, their main castle. When Sham falls, they (oppressors) will all fall!
Hajjah Naziha: InshAllah. We are reciting, “HasbunAllah, RabbunAllah” everyday 100-1000 times.
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim: You are doing well. (Du`a) أوله شام آخره شام “Awwalahu sham aakhirahu sham“, “The beginning of it is Sham, and the end of it is Sham.”
Visitor: How can such a great power as the Ottomans end up being like this (present-day Turkey)?
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim: Because the time and Hour has approached. Inna Hu Hameedun Majeed!
In Topkapi Palace, when you enter there is a kitabe, stone panel, with all Ottoman Sultans’ names inscribed. When the Sultan went through the entrance, first he looked toward it (to show respect) and then entered. Its inscription begins with the name of Osman Gazi Sultan, and the name of each Ottoman Sultan is inscribed.
Sultan Abdul Hamid’s name was the last one to fill up the remaining space. When it was Sultan Reshad’s term to rule, our Majestic Sultan, they told him, “There is no more space left for your name.” Sultan Reshad cried, and said, “Then have them make a another one next to it.” And in reality, Sultan Reshad was the only Sultan who ruled under a Constitutional Monarchy system; therefore, his rule was not taken into consideration. He was excluded, and that was the end of the Sultanate period.
(Prophet said) “After them, a time will come for the advent of jabaabira, tyrants,” the results of which we now see in Turkey, Russia, Germany, and finally it spread among the Arabs. All of them dethroned the kings, which is to deny Allah Almighty, as kings move in accordance with Qur’an `azeemu ’sh-shaan! These tyrants are all Shaytans who do not accept Qur’an al-Kareem and they are referred to as “the People of Hellfire”.
“There is not a single act of outrage they haven’t carried out. In this regard, leaders of Turks, Persians, Iraqis, Egyptians, Libyans and Hijazis are all the same: none of them implemented the law Islam came with and they all invented things according to their minds, saying, “By all means, we must be like western countries!” following ‘westernization.’
This is what they want and why they went after them, but when they did they became zero.
Now people of the Ummah are consuming one another. Why? Because they moved against the orders of Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) and His Messenger (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam)!
He said, “Now they will intervene and will want to remove Qur’an al-Kareem. They will remove Caliphate, Sultanate, and Shari`ah, replacing them with the fabricated dirt of Shaytan!
Therefore, all of them have plunged into the dirt of Shaytan: Egyptians, Libyans, Turks, Persians are all in it. They will not be eliminated until Mahdi (‘alayhi salam) comes.
Now time is very short. May Allah forgive us. Fatiha.
They call it batililasma, “to be westernized”, but in reality it is baatillasma, “to assimilate falsehood.’
They have left haqq and are worshiping baatil, falsehood.
There! They got what they deserved, first the Turks, then all others.
May Allah keep us from being of them. We are not those who accept baatil, falsehood! Fatiha.
