Man the Beautiful
May08 2013 Turkish 59min
Man by nature seeks beauty and desires to love and be loved. He, however, seeks beauty from this world, where it never belongs. He forgets that the very act of his creation is an act of Divine Love that filled him with heavenly beauty. Therefore, all Man needs to do is to realize what he already is, "Man The Beautiful".

Salamun Alaykum
May09 2013 Turkish 44min
In the whole of creation, man is the most honoured. Yet, "Man was created weak (4:28)", and because of that he cannot see his honour or recognize his enemy. Al Habib (sas) was invited to step on The Throne with his shoes, while Al Kalim (as) was ordered to take off his shoes on Mt Sinai. Learn the extent of the honor given to you and know your real enemy. O Shi'a read our names before you kill us to know we do have Muslim names. shaytan is your enemy so even when it tells you "Salamun Alaykum", its only intention is to steal your faith, so never answer! (This was Mawlana's answer when we asked him, after the sohbat, if shaytan really gives salams.)

Treasure Among Ruins
Apr21 2010 English 52min
People judge by appearances. Man is veiled. He does not have a cure for the illness of his ego. It is not truth to honour appearances, or the beautiful attire of people. The Prophets never wore magnificent clothing. Honour is never gained to be seen among people but to be a respected one among the heavenly ones. A candle may light a thousand candles. There are heavenly ones who carry heavenly light. The biggest mistake is not to believe those who are enlightened. We must take care for the servants of Allah. Allah Almighty keeps treasure among ruins.

So Flee To Allah (51:50)
May22 2013 Turkish 43min
In this sohbat Mawlana speaks to two incidents that were covered in the television news broadcast. The first is the tornado that struck America. He advises people not to think of themselves as great because only Allah is Great. When He strikes there is nowhere to run except "Fafirru ila Llah" - So Flee To Allah (51:50). The second was a news story about the Pope exorcizing a devil or jinn from a child. The people ridiculed this action and said that the devil is not a part of so-called modern life. Mawlana says quite to the contrary, shaytan rules most of modern life and it is the duty of Man to fight it.

The House and the Servant of the Lord
May10 2013 Turkish 51min
Mawlana asks: if Baytullah, the House of the Lord built of stones by S.Ibrahim (as), has so much value and honor, then what about Abdullah, the servant of the Lord who is you, O man? Man, Allah's (jj) most honored creation does not know his true value nor his real limit. Allah (swt) sent to every nation a prophet teaching them this. Confucius was sent to the people of China.

To Love and Be Loved
May06 2013 Turkish 48min
What people need and lack today is love. The order of Shahi Mardan and of all prophets and holy Books is, "Love and be loved. Do not be proud!" O Shi'a and Alawi, from where did you learn all this hatred and enmity? O Jews and Christians, how can you love or be loved with all your weapons? Did you learn this from the teachings of your prophets (as)?

Stop Them!
May05 2013 Turkish 44min
What gives value to our lives? It's honor. What have we lost? It's Adab. Without Adab there can be no honor. Man's honor is according to his Adab. Shahi Mardan teaches us the purpose of our creation. O Shi'as and 'Alawis were you created to kill Muslims and destroy their homes and lives? But Allah (swt) says, "And Stop Them, For They Shall Be Questioned."(37:24) They will have to answer for what they do! We are not Shi'a or 'Alawi, we are Muslims!

Nov30 1989 Turkish
In a story that Mawlana was telling from Grandsheikh (Q), a little boy shouts, but "I Am Not A Dog!", and as little as he is and with this small sentence he teaches us many lessons.

When the Wild Beasts Are Gathered (81:5)
May02 2013 Turkish 46min
"وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ - And when the wild beasts are gathered" (81:5). Mawlana says that this ayat points to one of the important signs of Yamu-l Qiyamah - the Day of Judgement, and is in full display in our days.

Turn Back to the Prophet (sas)
May07 2013 Turkish 37min
Do not run after Dunya or even after Akhirat. Seek only Allah. All Muslims now are after the dirt of this world; but Qiyamah is near. Allah (swt) points to the way of salvation, "And if, when they wronged themselves, they had come to you, [O Muhammad], and asked forgiveness of Allah and Prophet had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Accepting of repentance and Merciful. (4:64) - وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ جَاءُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّـهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّـهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا"
