After Juma today Shaykh Mehmet spoke about the unexpected death of his Royal Highness Raja Ashman Shah. He was a big awliya, loved by his people and by people all over the world. He was Sultan, not of dunya, but of Akhira. Shaykh Mehmet went on to explain that everything is in the hands of Allah Almighty; the length of someone's life is written. Who says differently is wrong. No one can give life to another. Allah is Most Generous, He gives. The running of the Tariqa in Malaysia is left in the hands of HRH Raja Ashman's sister, her Royal Highness Raja Eleena.

Seek Your Sultan
Mar22 2012 Turkish 20min
Yesterday at Asr Mawlana, MashaAllah, gave an important sohbat. Addressing his grandson, Mehmet Nazim, Mawlana ordered the Turks and all nations to "Seek Your Sultan". Mawlana poses the question: "How can a state function effectively without a sultan, the head of a religious state?" Without a sultan, the "shadow of Allah on earth", there is no fixed hierarchy. This leaves the crude use of open power as the main determinant of authority. (We apologize for not having the camera open at the beginning of the sohbat, so the first half is audio only.)

Jewels Of Reality
Mar18 2012 English 44min
The Essence of Human Beings is our Reality in Allah’s Divine Presence. On the Day of Judgement we will be ashamed to face Allah Almighty because of our badness, especially when we see the Maqam of the Prophet (sas). Every Reality is in Allah’s (swt) Hands, but the missing point for the Believer is to find his True Reality. We must have Taqwa by turning to Allah (swt) to purify ourselves. Our badness, particularly our jealousy harms others. Awliya now are hidden and they are ready and prepared for the coming of Sayyidina Mahdi (as).
