Mawlana explains to Shaykh Mehmet Effendi that the political and social dilemmas we are facing in these days have their roots in the past. It was a choice and a mistake. The Muslim Khalifa not only had military powers but it also had wide spiritual powers, equal to at least that of 7 saints. Therefore the secret in "Innah Hamidun Majid - إنّه حميدٌ مجيد"
The Manifestations of Colours
Feb01 2013 Turkish 39min
Like precious stones, each person's nature has its unique color, value, and manifestation. For the stone to attain its perfection and true qualities it has to be cleaned and refined. The soul is refined through the remembrance of Allāh's ﷻ Name in the Bismi Llāh. But all of this is now old fashioned; modern man has replaced gold with paper.
Albaytu-l Atiq
Jan31 2013 Turkish 27min
Allah Almighty created all forms of life from water. SubhanAllah! Mawlana asks about Al-Baytu l-Atiq, the Kaaba. It is Atiq, ancient. How ancient is it? It is also Baytullah, the House of Allah. Is it empty? All manifestations stem from the Kaaba to dress the believers. The highest and most perfect dress of all is that of servanthood.
Merhaba
Jan30 2013 Turkish 11min
Mawlana greets his children with "Merhaba". Mawlana shows that the state of the believer and that of the unbeliever look very different. It is Adab that when you need something you do not call on the Sultan on the throne but on His servant waiting at the gate of His palace.
Gog and Magog
Jan30 2013 Turkish 31min
Mawlana gives a strong warning for all those Muslims who refrain from using Allah's name in the Bismillah. The only thing that can keep Ya'juj and Ma'juj away is Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim.
Members Since Birth!
Jan29 2013 Turkish 35min
Mawlana asks if we know the purpose and wisdom of our existence. People are so full of themselves and take their existence so much for granted, that such a question never occurs to them. So Mawlana reminds those VIP's of the place in which we are all, equally, "Members Since Birth!"
Illa Hu
Jan28 2013 Turkish 25min
Mawlana tells Shaykh Mehmet Effendi about the Miraju-n Nabi (Night of Ascension). On that sacred night, Prophet (sAs) was given a key to a magnificent door…
Fi Sabilillah
Jan27 2013 Turkish 36min
Mawlana asks why we are created. We are created by Allah, for Him. We are not created for Shaytan or for this world. Then Mawlana scolds Muslims, especially those of the rich Arab states, who up to the time of that sohbat had done nothing substantial to help the Syrian refugees who fleed for their lives and the lives of their children to suffer the inhumane hardships of refugee camps.
The Axis
Jan26 2013 Turkish 40min
What can bring Man back to his axis so that his life regains its order and harmony? Mawlana explains that through Bismillah man can reach the true fruits of his action. Without it, all is fake even one's beauty. With the admission of Allah's Absolute Lordship in Bismillah the hardest hardship becomes a mercy. We have to learn how to protect ourselves from the punishments coming down on Earth in our times.
The Well of Abu Jahl
Jan25 2013 Turkish 45min
In this important sohbat Mawlana speaks about a spiritual Rizq (provision) as well as the physical one. The deep crisis into which we have fallen in the ignorance of our days is similar to the well into which Abu Jahl (the father of ignorance) fell. The only Hand that could pull him out is the same one that can save us now.
Islām Is Coming
Jan24 2013 Turkish 38min
Today after Fajr prayer, Mawlānā congratulated us all on the Mawlid Sharīf. Mawlānā reminded people of the honour that has been bestowed on them by their Lord Almighty; the highest of which is that of the sulṭān, the shadow of Allāh ﷻ on Earth. Yet the ignorance that is covering people in our days has veiled Man from his own honour. But Mawlānā gives the good tidings, "Islām Is Coming".
Fire Is Breaking Out!
Jan23 2013 Turkish 35min
Last night Mawlānā watched the fire that destroyed the historic building of Galatasaray University in Istanbul. It reminded him of a similar fire that destroyed his school 70 years ago in Istanbul. His school was called Zeinab Hatun Konagi, a three story wooden building. The original copy of Mawlana’s B.A. degree was also consumed in that fire. Today after Fajr Mawlānā asked why such fires keep happening? Mawlānā warned Turks and all Muslims.
Water-Wheel Donkey
Jan22 2013 Turkish 35min
Modern man became the devil's "Water-Wheel Donkey". Blindfolded by his ignorance and all the wrong systems of education, man spends his life in circles like that donkey running the water-wheel. Exhaustion being the only reward for all his endeavour, one day man will find himself in his grave and will be asked about how he spent every breath.
The Key to Paradise
Jan21 2013 Turkish 31min
"The Key to Paradise" is a key to spiritual power. It is a key to solving our modern problems and a way out of the crises of our days. It is a Divine sword. Mawlana gives strict instructions in this sohbat for those seeking Divine protection.
Lamp Oil
Jan20 2013 Turkish 28min
Mawlana asks if we know the purpose of our creation. The way in which we lead our lives shows that we do not even think about it. By means of three stories, Qarun, Ibnu l-Adham, and the old Greek seller of "Lamp Oil", Mawlana illustrates that the value of one's life is in learning the purpose of it.
Payment Is from Allah
Jan19 2013 Turkish 27min
Mawlana reveals more and more of the endless secrets of Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. It is the only protection from the calamities waiting for people in these days. It is an affirmation that one's actions are only for Allah and their "Payment Is from Allah (swt)", from His infinite Bounties.
The Traps of the Devil
Jan18 2013 Turkish 28min
Mawlana reveals more of the secrets of the Bismillah that will open only to the one who believes in it. Then Mawlana points to the many "Traps of the Devil" which reduced humanity to a toy or an animal in the hands of the devil.
The Required Knowledge
Jan17 2013 Turkish 28min
After Fajr prayer, Mawlana urged his grandson H. Mehmet Nazim, to seek "The Required Knowledge". It is this knowledge that guides one's consciousness to the purpose of existence and allows one to realize oneself through intentions and actions. The fulfillment of this Heavenly Knowledge dresses one in the garment of Adab and Servanthood, the most beloved garment in the Divine Presence.
