O people, look after your faith, real faith, that leads you from darkness to the lighted heavens.    How  do you feel this year compared to last year?  Do you feel an improvement in your spiritual life or not?  Ask that. 

           People are running, everyone is running, to eat something from this life.   Both men and women are running to take much more from this life;  but mostly they are running after the material things of this life.  For those who live only for dunya, ahl ad-dunya, their biggest capital is money, money, money;  for ladies, gold, gold, gold, jewels, jewels, jewels.  Man is interested in saving many more dollars, ladies running to make much more jewelry, each year, for ten fingers, twenty rings or thirty rings, putting here; can't carry it, heavy golden jewels.

           But the real capital that mankind must run after is love.  Whoever is asking for and running after love, to take much more love, that person has just taken the biggest share of their life on this earth.        Love is the biggest grant from Allah Almighty to the children of Adam.  Without love, mankind is like dry wood. Trees are carrying love and getting green.   A table has lost its love and become dry.     Love gives beauty and lights to people.  Don't put something here like this [lipstick], going to a beauty centre.  You are not going to be beautiful with such a thing, doing like this or making an operation to make that.  That is not making you beautiful. Love makes you beautiful, and a tasteful and honoured and praised one!    Whoever takes much more love is going to be much more beautiful here and in the heavens.  Yes, it is a grant, the biggest grant of the Creator. 

With His love He created you.  Don't think that Allah Almighty created you without love; no.  And we are thankful that He loves His servants and grants love to them.

           And what is Allah  asking from you, O servants?   He is only asking love from you,  -- giving Love and asking love.  In all religions, among all beliefs, that is important:  that He granted us from His Divine Love and is asking from us love for His Divine Presence. 

            Nowadays we are giving our love to this lowest life's pleasures.  That is the biggest curse on mankind; it is the reason for violence and wildness and every problem:  it is because people are not giving love to their Lord.  And He is looking:  "O My servant, I  granted  you from My Divine Love.  What you are giving to Me?"

He is not asking anything (else) from you; no.  All your praying is a sign of your love to His Majestic Divine Presence. 

           You must look after yourself; you must make a ‘spiritual check-up’,    because Shaytan is cheating you every day, making you give your love to this temporary life.     You are giving all your attention and care for your physical body that day by day is coming down, coming down and dying, going into the ground.  Look each day; make a check-up on yourself, whether you have been cheated or not.    If you see that you have been cheated (today), you must not be cheated tomorrow.

           Any time you say, "O my Lord, I love you," that is so beautiful from servants to Allah.  "O my Lord, I love you!"  When you are alone, say, "O my Lord, I love You, I love You, I love You!"  Say three times, "O my Lord, I love You."  Then people are no longer going to be depressed. 

          Allah Almighty is giving people everything but they are not giving their love to their Lord Almighty.  He is not asking you to eat or drink or dress; He is only asking from you, love.

When Moses -- was going to a meeting with his Lord on Mount Sinai, Allah Almighty said to him, "O Moses, do your best for My servants.  Make them love Me."  Do you understand?  You must understand!     That is a very important and more enlighted word to say to yourself and all communities,   to clean the whole world.     Allah Almighty was asking Moses, one of the great prophets, "Ask them, teach them, tell them, make them, love Me!"
