In this special sohbat Mawlana opens for the first time some of the oceans of the meanings of the ayat, "إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَىٰ - only Mawaddat through al- Qurba" (42:23). What is al-Mawdah and what is al-Qurba? And what is al-Qawa'ida mina-l Bayti, in the ayat, "وَإِذْ يَرْفَعُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْقَوَاعِدَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ - when Abraham was raising the foundations of the House" (2:128)? Then comes the command, "أَن طَهِّرَا بَيْتِيَ - Purify My House"(2:125). Love is the unique grant of Al-Habib, the Seal of Prophets (sas), and al-Mawaddata fi-l Qurba is the the unique maqam of his Ummah.

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.
