This was the du‘ā’ the Prophet ﷺ taught the people. Because sometimes what looks good turns out to be bad and what looks bad turns out to good. Better to ask Allāh ﷻ to choose and be patient and believe that whatever comes is the best.
Come to the Place of Happiness
Jul27 2021 Turkish 21min
Happiness is found where Allāh ﷻ and His ﷻ Prophet ﷺ are remembered and praised. People work to collect money but this doesn't give them happiness. To be in Paradise in this world and the next, look to please Allāh ﷻ and be with the Awliyā’ and the Mashāyikh. Don't be hopeless or complaining. Who is at peace with himself is in Paradise.
What You Are Responsible For
Jul26 2021 Turkish 22min
There are things for which Allāh ﷻ holds you accountable and things for which He ﷻ doesn't. You are not responsible for the actions of others unless they are following you. Otherwise, you are responsible only for your own actions. If you are not ill you are able to pray farḍ standing and you are able to make a quick wuḍū’ without wasting water.
First Thing in Religion Is to Have Adab
Jul25 2021 Turkish 14min
The Prophet ﷺ had the best adab and he ﷺ was the first teacher. Adab used to be taught in schools during Ottoman times. But now no one knows about good behaviour. People used to be happy to get advice but now they refuse to accept and get angry. So you must know when and how and to whom to give advice. Or you must keep it to yourself.
Be Straight on the Way of Allāh ﷻ
Jul24 2021 Turkish 14min
The Prophet ﷺ was not like us but the verse from Sūratu l-Hūd (11:112) turned some of his ﷺ hairs white because he ﷺ knew how hard it would be for his ﷺ Ummah to follow. The ego makes this order too difficult for most people but the Prophet ﷺ said that the most difficult thing is the most acceptable to Allāh ﷻ.
The Grave Is Our Home
Jul23 2021 Turkish 10min
Today is the last day of the ‘Īd. The Prophet ﷺ said that this world is quickly coming and quickly finishing. We are travellers through this life. Our real home is the grave, which can be either a Paradise or a Hell. All we take with us are our deeds and intentions so make them good ones.

Praise the Good Ones
Jul21 2021 Turkish 14min
Ignorant people say mushrik for those who love the ones Allāh ﷻ praises, His ﷻ prophets, their companions and family, the pious and the good ones. Only an idiot would confuse them with Allāh Almighty. Don't praise someone, even if he saves his country or all of humanity, but he does not obey Allāh ﷻ.
The First Day of ‘Īd
Jul20 2021 Turkish 11min
Today is the first of the four blessed days of ‘Īd that Allāh ﷻ in His Generosity has given us. These are difficult times but Allāh ﷻ has promised that after difficulty comes ease (94:5). We can look forward to the coming days of a real ‘Īd when Allāh ﷻ has put an end to all the evil and oppression.
Be a Real Believer
Jul19 2021 Turkish 12min
Allāh ﷻ made people on different levels. Some are higher and some lower. The Prophet ﷺ and the Ṣaḥābah (ra) are not like us. If we are real believers, we must know this. On this blessed day of ‘Arafah ask for the biggest gift, ask to be a mu’min.
Mercy Is for the Merciful
Jul18 2021 Turkish 14min
The Prophet ﷺ has said that who is not merciful to people, Allāh ﷻ is not merciful to him. The people who hold power in the world are followers of shayṭān. There are even those who call themselves Muslim but they kill and cheat Muslims. Real Islām is the religion of mercy.
The Waẓīfah for Yawmu ‘Arafah
Jul17 2021 Turkish 15min
Monday is the 9th and most blessed day of the month of Dhū l-Ḥijjah, the day the pilgrims stand at ‘Arafāt. Don't miss this gift from Allāh ﷻ. It is recommended to fast and to recite 1,000 Ikhlāṣ, 1,000 Astaghfiru Llāh, and 1,000 Lā ilāha illā Llāh. Allāh ﷻ is pleased when you accept His ﷻ gift and gives blessings for body and soul.
Know the Value of Īmān
Jul16 2021 Turkish 26min
The biggest gift that Allāh ﷻ gives us is guidance to Islām. There is no bigger gift for a human being but most people today want to be animals. A mosque is the House of Allāh ﷻ and it should not be closed even for this sickness.
Qurbān Is a Gift from Allāh ﷻ
Jul15 2021 Turkish 21min
The sacrifice of ‘Īd is wajīb in Ḥanafī and sunnah mu’akkadah in the other three madhhabs. It brings happiness to the animal sacrificed, blessings for the Muslim who performs the sacrifice and also for the ones who partake of the meat. Don't listen to the hypocrites who raise objections to it.
Everyone Thinks He Knows Best
Jul14 2021 Turkish 17min
The Prophet ﷺ told us that at the end of days everyone will have their own ideas and will think they know better than everybody else and be proud. They will not look for advice from others with knowledge. It is like this now. For things of dunyā it doesn't matter but there is no democracy in religion. You must follow the Qur’ān, the Prophet ﷺ, and the shaykhs.
Forget and Forgive
Jul13 2021 Turkish 15min
Man was created forgetful. This is a gift from Allāh ﷻ to allow us to forget the loss and suffering of this life. Some very few people Allāh ﷻ endows with memory in order to keep the religion. But a Muslim learns to let go of hurts and insults and forgive others. Islām is the religion of mercy.
It Cannot Be More Beautiful
Jul12 2021 Turkish 13min
The believers and especially the followers of ṭarīqah are very blessed and very lucky. They thank Allāh ﷻ always for His ﷻ favours and for these blessed days. One hour of contemplating is worth seventy years of worship. Like the old murīd of Mawlānā (q) used to say, there can be no moment more beautiful than now.
You Must Learn Wisdom
Jul11 2021 Turkish 19min
Order the good and prevent the bad is the command of Allāh ﷻ. But there are people who do the opposite. Some, claiming to be from Ahlu s-Sunnah wa-l-Jamā‘ah, discourage others from nāfilah worship. Nāfilah worship is a means to seek closeness to Allāh ﷻ. A university education provides knowledge but not wisdom. You need a murshid to learn wisdom.
