Ask and You Are Given
May29 2013 Turkish 41min
Prophet (sas) says," ادبني ربي - My Lord has taught me Adab." How can one learn Adab? "اسْأَلْ بِهِ خَبِيرًا - ask the one who is well-informed." (25:59) If you want to have Adab, follow the ones who have it. "إنما بُعِثتُ لِأُتمم مكارِمَ الأخلاق - I was sent to perfect the best of manners". It is important to teach Man what makes him a Man. Then he will know what to ask for and Who to seek. " معرفةُ الله - Ma'rifatullah" is the door to Maqamu r-Rida and Maqamu l-Khilafah. For the one sacrificing himself on the Way of Allah the address is, O My servant, "إِسأل تُعطى - Ask And You Are Given".

The Easy Life
May30 2013 Turkish 51min
"يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ - Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship."(2:185)"The Easy Life" is good life. Allah sent Shari'ah to guide people to easy, good ways of living. However, deceived by shaytan's empty promise of an easier life, man runs away into difficulties and suffering. Man does not know at Whose door he is, and that is how he fails his Imtihan, test. Know that ease is with Ar-Rahman and can never be with shaytan.

Al Bayan
May28 2013 Turkish 48min
"Al Bayan" is not a drop but rather oceans that cannot be described by any figure of speech, endless oceans. "Al Bayan" is the essence of being human and the door to the Divine, and its key is Basmallah. "الرَّحْمَٰنُ عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ- The Most Merciful Taught the Qur'an". And, "عَلَّمَهُ الْبَيَانَ - taught him (Man) Bayan"(55:1-4) That's why Sohbat gives us happiness and takes away our heaviness. Yet man is blind to his secret and can only see the animal in himself. So people run and scream in the streets. Mawlana says if you insist on being an animal, then be a lion and do not remain a donkey!

Bow to Whom?
Apr26 2010 English 42min
Our Lord in His Most Glorified Greatness grants a subtle reality to the heart. Just as electricity runs through wires, special people on Earth have a special being. Their hearts are transmitting because their Lord is resident there. To whom must we bow? Bow only to Him Who created you. Allah Almighty’s command comes through the Holy Quran as a heavenly declaration to all. Are the scholars teaching people to bow only to Allah Almighty? No. Bowing is a sharpened sword, not just performed during prayer, it must be performed through the 24 hours of the day.

Riding the Horse
May26 2013 Turkish 44min
'Irfan (Spiritual Recognition) lies in knowing your limit. Ma'rifah (True/Spiritual Knowledge) is beyond 'Ilim and its way is Adab. shaytan had 'Ilm but no Adab. It wanted to interfere with the Divine Will, and therefore was kicked out of the Divine Presence. The Prophet (sas) said, "Adabani Rabbi - My Lord gave me Adab." Without managing to ride on the wild donkey of your ego, you will never be fit for "Riding The Horse" of the Sultan.

Pharaoh's Teaching
May27 2013 Turkish 44min
Man is very weak yet very honorable. No one can dress man, Hazrat Insan, with an honor more than that granted to him by his Creator. This is an important point of Adab. Pharaoh warned Musa, " إِن تُرِيدُ إِلَّا أَن تَكُونَ جَبَّارًا فِي الْأَرْضِ - Your aim is nothing but to become a Jabbar in the world."(28:19) The Jabbar (the Almighty) can only be one, and Pharaoh claimed it for himself. In this world, however, all the Jabbar man can ever become is a despised tyrant and that indeed was Pharaoh. So heedless to his own reality, Pharaoh awakened Musa and us all, through the Holy Quran, to the indisputable Truth: Al Jabbar is One. Therefore, Adab Ya Hu!

The Way to Ma'rifah
May25 2013 Turkish 50min
Al-Jahlu 'aybun dawa'ahu-l 'Ilmu - Ignorance is a 'ayb/fault that can be cured only with knowledge. But nowadays man is immersed in 'Ayb. Man is following every way of ignorance and is even ignorant of his own identity. O Man, enter "The Way to Ma'rifah" and be from al-'Arifin. The one who does not seek to know is not Insan. The disciples asked for a table from Heavens forgetting that every table is the Lord's! O Shi'a and 'Alawi, how do you dare to kill anyone knowing the Creator? Do not be Shi'a or 'Alawi! The Sharia'h does not allow for 2 sultans! Adab Ya Hu!

Out of Balance
Jun09 2013 Turkish 47min
"اعطي كل ذي حق حقه - Give everyone their due rights." This is the real mizan (scale) and it is found in Islam. Do not be too proud to recognize your limits or others' rights. Zulm (injustice/oppression) brings zulmat (darkness). Why are people killing each other? Allah (swt) says, "إِنَّ أَرْضِي وَاسِعَةٌ - Indeed My earth is spacious" (29:56)
