Allāh ﷻ rewards the believer for everything, even the smallest thing. Bad things can happen in this life and those who remember Allāh ﷻ and Ākhirah will survive. Mawlānā, by his barakah, reminded and strengthened people so that they stayed faithful and calm under the biggest tests. The Shaykh tells the story of two murīds as examples, and we prayed janāzah for one of them who died yesterday.
Make Your ‘Īd Nice
Jul31 2020 Turkish 13min
Allāh ﷻ says make your ‘Īd nice. Even those who do not practice the religion respect the ‘Īd. This is a miracle from Allāh ﷻ. It shows that there is still a small amount of faith in their hearts and it can become big again. Allāh ﷻ is happy with those who are happy on ‘Īd.
On This Special Day
Jul30 2020 Turkish 17min
On this special day the real pilgrims stand at ‘Arafāt and pray for forgiveness. We also fast, make dhikr, ask for forgiveness and forgive those who have hurt us. We do whatever goodness we find to make people happy. Feeding one hungry person is better than making 1,000 mosques.
Yawmu t-Tarwiyah and Yawmu ‘Arafah
Jul29 2020 Turkish 15min
Today is Yawmu t-Tarwiyah and tomorrow is Yawmu ‘Arafah, special and blessed days. It was the sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ to leave Mecca on the 8th, and spend the next day at ‘Arafāt. This is Ḥajj. Allāh ﷻ is teaching us something this year by restricting the Ḥajj but there is still much reward in fasting these days.
Allāh’s ﷻ Rule Is Best
Jul28 2020 Turkish 23min
Shayṭān makes fitnah to spoil good deeds. They try to change the rules of nature set by Allāh ﷻ. The worst was the French Revolution when they changed the week to ten days. Bad scholars want to change Ramaḍān to winter, imsāk to shurūq but they only destroy themselves.
You Only Cheat Yourself
Jul27 2020 Turkish 12min
When you try to cheat Allāh ﷻ by being insincere or lazy in your prayers or not keeping your word, you only cheat yourself. Allāh ﷻ is not in need of your prayers or your charity and He ﷻ knows your intention. In this time, people cheat by teaching ignorance in place of knowledge.
Don’t Do Anything According to Your Dream
Jul26 2020 Turkish 17min
Allāh ﷻ created men on different levels. The prophets are the highest and of them the Prophet ﷺ is the highest. Our dreams are not the same as the dreams of prophets. When you dream something you don’t have to follow it. Be happy for good dreams but they are not orders from Allāh ﷻ. You must not follow dreams which are against Sharī‘ah.
The Fight between Good and Bad
Jul25 2020 Turkish 18min
From the time Qābīl killed his brother Hābīl (as) people have been fighting each other. Why? Some fear Allāh ﷻ and some follow shayṭān who convinces them they are the best and doing good. But those who say they are peaceful are actually doing violence.
Opening the Ayasofya
Jul24 2020 Turkish 19min
Today is a day of two celebrations, Jum‘ah and the opening of the Ayasofya for prayer after 86 years. Sultan Mehmet Fatih bought the broken empty church and gave it as waqf to be a mosque until Qiyāmah. His curse is on those who prevented it. The whole Muslim world rejoices at the opening.
Help Us to Do Good
Jul23 2020 Turkish 9min
At the end of time every small act of goodness is rewarded by Allāh ﷻ, the most Generous. But we cannot even do good without His ﷻ help. In these ten holy days of Dhū l-Ḥijjah ask for help in doing goodness and help to control our ego.
No Ḥajj This Year
Jul21 2020 Turkish 12min
Tonight is the first of the ten holy nights Allāh ﷻ mentions in Sūratu l-Fajr, the first of the holy month of Dhū l-Ḥijjah. There is no Ḥajj this year. Allāh ﷻ is waging war on humanity in order to make them remember Him ﷻ. When Allāh ﷻ wants something, do not oppose it. The most important thing is to be with Him ﷻ.
Hold Strongly to Your Good Luck
Jul20 2020 Turkish 12min
Allāh Almighty gave us everything. Most importantly He ﷻ made us human beings and Muslims and on His ﷻ way. Hold on to what He ﷻ gave you and be thankful. If you lose it, you will not have another chance. Our biggest enemy is our ego.
Our Hearts Between His ﷻ Two Fingers
Jul19 2020 Turkish 14min
In the last days the Prophet ﷺ said people will leave Islam in great numbers. We can only pray to Allāh ﷻ, the Changer of Hearts, to keep our hearts with Him ﷻ, the One Who never changes. The Prophet ﷺ showed us the way. This is the way to happiness and peace.
Lucky Who Follow Him
Jul18 2020 Turkish 25min
Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh (q) had only two murīds. His teaching he gave to Shaykh Nāẓim (q) who in turn gave it to the whole world. Anyone else who claims they have directly from Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh (q) has no adab, spreads misunderstanding, and has lost.
Remember the Most Important Thing
Jul17 2020 Turkish 12min
It may look like things are powered by men and petrol but nothing works except by permission of Allāh ﷻ. So remember Him ﷻ and ask forgiveness and maybe He ﷻ will take away this illness for the sake of those He ﷻ loves who remember Him ﷻ.
We Are Not Living in Paradise
Jul16 2020 Turkish 13min
Don't be sad or worried. The Prophet ﷺ and the first Muslims had a hard time in Mecca also. This world is not meant to be Paradise. Remember Allāh ﷻ, remember Ākhirah and what you do in this life will not be empty. Allāh ﷻ rewards those who depend on Him ﷻ.
Don’t Worry, Everything Is in Allāh’s ﷻ Hands
Mar16 2020 Turkish 8min
Mawlānā used to sing a qaṣīdah that said: “Don’t worry. Everything is in Allāh’s ﷻ hands. He ﷻ is the Creator. He ﷻ does what He ﷻ wants.” Most important is to realise He ﷻ is your Friend and to be happy with Him ﷻ. Make your īmān stronger and don’t worry about these little things.
Hurry for Ākhirah Not for Dunyā
Mar15 2020 Turkish 8min
For things of dunyā don’t rush to do them without thinking first. You will regret it. But for worship and things of Ākhirah, like Ḥajj, ṣadaqah, and prayer, hurry to do them before they are gone and you will regret.
