The Quran is an trackless ocean, without shores, without end. The mention of everything is contained in it. It is a light that will serve the believer in the darkness of the Day of Judgment. Those in Paradise hear the Lord Almighty recite it Himself on Juma. And the joy one of them feels would destroy all distress everywhere.
From Heart to Heart
Feb28 1989 Turkish 40min

The Man with No Sajdah
Feb10 1989 Turkish 7min

The Secret of Water

The First to Die
Jan21 1989 Turkish 42min
Shaytan is the first to die of Allah's creation because his rebellion caused his spiritual death. Without spiritual life man is like the walking dead. Islam is a gentle, subtle religion.

Keep Us with the Pure Ones
Jan01 1989 Turkish 41min
Our purpose in this life to keep Allāh’s ﷻ orders and avoid His ﷻ prohibitions. This is the way to stay clean and pure. Paradise is only for the pure ones. No one with a speck of anger, envy, arrogance or stubbornness can enter Paradise. If you don’t clean your self in this world you will have to be cleaned in the fire.
The Secret of Living
Jan01 1989 Turkish 33min
We do not own anything, not even ourselves. Yet we are arrogant to think we can defy death. Pride smothers man. To acknowledge an Owner is to be smart, just like those Dagestanis who lived to a ripe old age. They were strong of faith, pure of heart, hardworking and unhurried. Their secret? They lived to serve their Creator.

Sainthood for All Believers
Aug31 1988 Turkish 7min
Awliyā’ are those who kill their egos with the sword of truth. There is sainthood for all believers but they cannot have it completely because they obey their egos; they are lazy. Don't be with the bad ones among the believers; rotten, rabid ones with no adab. They will spoil those around them. So, stand and fall with the faithful ones. Be with those who have adab.

One True Sajdah
Mar05 1988 Turkish 39min
Allāh loves those whose hearts are clean, whose heart’s eyes can see, whose heart’s ears can hear. To lift the veils, to open those eyes and ears, requires will power, asceticism. Make one true sajdah like the magicians at the time of Moses (as) and a veil will be lifted. Stay clean from shayṭān and believe.
Imitated Belief
Mar05 1988 Turkish 31min
We are born with the eyes of our hearts open but those eyes begin to close after eight days and our hearts become blind. Only belief will help us to see again. Most of us can distinguish light from darkness - this is imitated belief. We must try to have real belief in order to be safe from shayṭān and to open the eyes of our hearts.
The Month of Ṣafar
Nov30 1987 Turkish 10min
