Are you understanding the Holy Qur'an? You are saying, "Yes, we understand." What we are saying that they are making me address to you: how is that grant reaching to common people? It is not heavenly protocol to grant heavenly grants to ordinary people, no! That is coming to some people who have been chosen and from them it is reaching to common people from heavenly grants, yes. We are trying to understanding. I think your understanding is much more powerful. Therefore, they are making me to ask you, how is a person reaching a heavenly grant, Hisham Effendi? That is an important question. No one can be able to reach by himself, by herself or by themselves, Allah Almighty is not accepting.

What is our evidence? You may ask, "What is your evidence?" Or I am asking you, do you have such evidence that a person can directly reach heavenly grants? What do you think? Up to today have one of you, O Salaafiyoon, reached by yourself and asked for a heavenly grant by yourself? Can you answer me that, one of you just reached that heavenly grant by yourself? If you are saying this, you are never understanding from Holy Qur'an something that is important for all Mankind, particularly for Muslims! Allah Almighty is saying: (Mawlana Shaykh stands) Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem.
وَابْتَغُواْ إِلَيهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ
Wa 'btaghaw ilayhi' l-waseelah.
Seek the means of approach (to Allah). (5:35)

(Mawlana Shaykh sits) That is our evidence. When you are asking something from Him, you must use a waseelah, an authorized one for heavenly grants. You can't ask directly from the Lord of Heavens something, or heavenly grants. He is saying, wa 'btaghaw ilayhi' l-waseelah. Therefore, we are asking, have you ever reached a heavenly grant by yourself? No, it can't be! It is not heavenly protocol for one to come to the Heavenly Presence and to ask for some grants. Grants are coming from heavens and if you are asking to reach a heavenly grant, you can't reach to that one by yourself, but you must use a waseelah, some means. You are asking to reach from one continent to another continent and you are saying, "I am not needing a plane, I may reach from one continent to another by myself." That is a foolish, ignorant and idiot one to say, "No I have no need to use a means for reaching something from the Heavens."
