Begin everything by mentioning the Name of Allah. Ask goodness from the ones with good faces. Look for the people with light on their faces and ask what you need from them. People should have honey like the honeybee but most of them sting like the wasp. They carry weapons to destroy. Don't be a wasp or you will be punished.

For A Picture
Aug19 2013 Turkish 35min
Be Awake or you will miss the caravan. Learn why you are created and know why and for whom you are doing what you are doing in this world. Some people are running in the streets of Egypt carrying a picture and fighting and killing each other for it. Mawlana asks them what does this picture give you or what has the man in the picture given you? Run after reality and do not waste your life "For A Picture". Do not forget your Lord so that He does not forget you. Be one in the face of the enemy!

Well Done Your Majesty
Aug17 2013 Turkish 29min
This morning Mawlana spoke about the fight in Egypt. He spoke about those who are not even wearing the dress of Islam and want to rule the people by force in the name of Islam.

Ikhwan ‛Brothers’
Aug16 2013 Turkish 33min
In this most beautiful sohbat, Mawlana says that love is what keeps man alive. He talks about Allah's Attributes and the explanations that his Grandsheikh gave him for all the Names until Al-Muqtadir. There he stopped and could think of no way to explain it. Mawlana finishes his Sheikh's sohbat by giving an illustration of Al-Muqtadir. Then he dismisses all the titles and ranks that people give themselves to try to gain power over others. Put your hearts behind the Shari'a of Allah and stand together as - The Victorious Army of Allah. Be 'Brothers'.
The Fragrance Of The Rose
Aug15 2013 Turkish 31min
"Would any rose ever smile if that Rose (sas) did not exist?" Mawlana speaks of the Prophet (sas) as a Rose whose fragrance scents all of creation. The Prophet took from the Divine Fragrance and gave to the world. We must seek the fragrance of this rose. This is our purpose in life: Seek the rose, be the rose if you can. Leave the ashes of this world and attune your senses to the Divine Fragrance.
Rabiatu-l Adawiyah
Aug14 2013 Turkish 31min
When S. Hasanu-l Basri was asked by a murid, why the sohbat of that day was not as powerful as usual, he answered, because the Sultan was not there - "Rabiatu-l Adawiyah". Those people shouting and fighting in the streets of Egypt, what are they asking and whom are they asking? If you ask, know what to ask for and whom to ask it from. Know that each gets according to his level and capacity. Mawlana said that Sheikh Mehmet is not only his Khalifa but the khalifa of Grandsheikh too.
Chasing Your Shadow
Aug13 2013 Turkish 41min
Allah did not create you to carry dunya. He made you to be His khalifa, the sultan of dunya but you haven't understood what that means. The ones who don't understand are in the streets, the few who do understand are hidden. The Prophet (sas) taught his companions the true value of dunya by means of their shadows. You made a pledge to Allah that He is your only Lord and you have broken it.
The Ocean of Anguish
Aug12 2013 Turkish 40min
Everywhere people are suffering. Why? Because they lost their identity. They no longer know who they are. They do not know their value, role nor mission. All they know now is "The Ocean Of Anguish"!
Kiss The Hand
Aug11 2013 Turkish 28min
Allah created nafs/ego to serve Man, and did not create Man to serve his ego. Serving Allah gives you satisfaction and pleasure. Serving the ego leaves man always hungry. No matter how much he gets, like Hell, its never enough. Do not look at earth, look to Heavens. The love of saints is the way to the love of the Prophet(sas), and the love of the Prophet(sas) leads you to the love of Allah.
The Fire Of Desire
Aug10 2013 Turkish 34min
Allah gave man a beautiful form. What completes this is beautiful manners. But like a chicken digs for worms, man digs for gold and silver. Man has become dirty like this dirty dunya. And now from everywhere there are fires. These are the fires of amibition and lust and they will destroy mankind.
After Eid
Aug09 2013 Turkish 39min
Mawlana says Ramadan and Eid are finished and now what's "After Eid"? We are weak, but we have 'inayiah, we are taken care of.

Who Is the Sultan?
Aug07 2013 Turkish 39min
Maru'a is courage that arises from man's humanity. May we be increased in it. Why do you think you are here? Did you come for eating and drinking? For fighting and amassing wealth? Think about it because an hour of thinking is worth more than 70 years of worship. Our way is gold. Seek the One on whose order the universe moves, the Owner of Creation. Don't fight over the world, look for its Sultan.
The Last Day of Ramaḍān
Aug07 2013 Turkish 4min
It is the last day of Ramaḍān and everyone will leave their fasting and praying to run after dunyā. "Keep to the clean path," says Mawlānā, “Dont run with the sewer rats.” If you invite the Sulṭān ﷻ then you will eat from His ﷻ heavenly table.
The Foundation Of Protocol
Aug06 2013 Turkish 44min
The lesson for today is on Tashrifat - being honored. It is a Divine Protocol that determines the honor of each creature. The Prophet (sas) is number one but every creature big and small has its own tashrifa because it was honored by being created by the Lord Most HIgh. From the Prophet to the ant, each has its honor and its name on the list of protocol. So respect that honor and learn the Science, the Foundation of Protocol.
