If left to ourselves we could never control the ego. If we follow the orders of the sheikh we can learn to control it. If we don’t listen the ego only grows worse as we age. We are raw. Tariqa cooks us until the ego is burned and we are clean.
Dhul Hijjah
Oct01 2014 Turkish 26min
Sheikh Mehmet reminds us that the Month of Dhu Hijjah is one of the 4 holy months in which fighting is forbidden. Performance of the Hajj is a fard. Muslims today do not take this seriously but travel the world and do not save for Hajj. Those not on Hajj should fast the first 9 days or at least the 8th and 9th day.
