Shaykh Mehmet relays salams from his father Shaykh Nazim who continues to recover slowly from his illness. Allah has sent so many doctors to serve him and with each medicine he takes he asks Allah's cure in it. He thanks all those who, following the sunnah, have come from all over the world to be near him and wish him health. But Sh Mehmet asks those people to consider their intentions. It becomes a burden on Mawlana if all these people have in their hearts intention to talk personally with him. Shaykh Mehmet tells the story of Uways al Qarani (ra) who was never actually able to see the Prophet (sas) but whose heart was so connected from a distance that the Prophet (sas) sent his companions to visit Uways (ra) with the gift of a cloak.

Freedom Is Allah’s (swt) Grant

Men ask to be happy, but they must plant a tree in order to reap fruit. Shaytan’s music makes them think an endless pleasure awaits them. In every country now, despite singing the Anthem of Freedom, they are enslaved. But, for every state in a free country, one is asked, ‘What is your identity?’ It is like a four-legged animal, drawing a carriage; to go everywhere freely, reined at the mouth. The master and commander controls, using a whip. And they say, ‘You can’t do this, you can’t do that.’ No one has that authority. Allah (swt) created man free and no one can take that freedom without His permission.
