Allāh ﷻ doesn’t like ugliness. The people of today are surrounded by ugliness. The ugliness that surrounds them changes the way they are and how they behave. If you learn the difference between goodness and ugliness you will have learned the wisdom of the Prophet ﷺ.
Look at the Full Picture
Mar27 2018 English 25min
We try but we are limited because our ego is never satisfied with its Lord. Muslims today are sleeping. Their saints are singers and dancers. They need to wake up and look at the big picture.
Light the Other Candle
Mar25 2018 English 17min
It is important to know that you are returning to Allāh ﷻ. Be careful of your next step. For goodness you must return goodness, as one candle lights the other.
Sufism Teaches to Be a Good One
Mar17 2018 English 14min
The biggest fight today is against Sufism. Everyone wants to know what it teaches. Mawlānā said his teaching is only to make people good ones. Our hearts are open, our house is open. Come and learn.
West, Wake Up!
Mar13 2018 English 19min
It is only wine and pork that keep the West from Islām. Wake up! Remember you will die and be judged. Allāh ﷻ is the ruler and He ﷻ gives everyone a role, good or bad. Whatever your role, try to do something good to gain His ﷻ forgiveness.
Allāh Almighty Is Preparing the Bill
Mar06 2018 English 27min
Come back to your Lord ﷻ. No one is free. In the end they will be questioned and there will be a bill to pay. Now in those days we must pray two raka‘āt ṣalātu l-istighfār every day.
Allāh Almighty's Gift
Mar04 2018 English 24min
Don’t be shy to say you are Muslim. This is Allāh’s ﷻ gift to you because He loves His servants. Keep it carefully. Don’t love shayṭān. Even if you are sincere you can follow the wrong way. Sometimes you need help in recognising shayṭān and this is why you need a murshid.
Mawlānā's Teaching
Feb28 2018 Turkish 17min
We learned from Mawlānā (q) that there is a way for everyone. The way of Mawlānā (q) is tolerance, gentleness, and love. So don’t turn anyone away. Our job is to show them the right way by our example.
Everyday We Die
Feb27 2018 Turkish 14min
Every night Allāh ﷻ takes back our souls. He returns them in the morning or He doesn't. Every day is a new creation and a reminder of the long sleep we call death that lasts until Judgment. Prepare for the life after death because once you are asleep there is nothing more to be done. The Sleepers of the Cave and the Prophet ‘Uzayr (as) are examples.
Ṭarīqah Is Teaching Humbleness
Feb26 2018 Turkish 19min
Sometimes the murīd is humble and sometimes he expects to reach high stations immediately. Ṭarīqah teaches the ego but doesn’t give it ranks. If the murīd joins for his ego he becomes a toy for shayṭān. Ṭarīqah teaches humbleness.
The Most Perfect Example
Feb25 2018 Turkish 19min
Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim (q) was the best example of those who follow the Prophet ﷺ and are thankful to their Lord ﷻ. He was hard on himself and soft with others. He avoided sins and doubtful things.
Respect: The Teaching of the Prophet ﷺ
Feb24 2018 Turkish 19min
Adab is the attribute of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ taught to show respect to the elderly, to the men of knowledge – ‘ulamā’ and awliyā’ – and to the rulers. The way of no respect is the way of shayṭān.
Barakah, Justice, Mercy, and Shyness
Feb20 2018 English 22min
According to the Prophet ﷺ, Jibrīl (as) will visit earth four times. First he will come to take the Barakah; second to take the Justice; third to take the Mercy and fourth to take the Shyness. We can see this in the world around us so we must continue to ask Allāh ﷻ to give us these things.
The Foolish West
Feb18 2018 English 25min
The countries of the West think they know everything but they don’t know the reality. They have everything but they also have depression. What is important is the heart not the stomach of the ant. The West is working for nonsense.
Everything Needs Effort
Feb13 2018 English 19min
Jealousy is the hardest thing to remove from the ego. Don’t be jealous of Rasūlu Llāh ﷺ, love him purely. Follow the example of Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim (qs) and don’t be lazy. As Mullā Naṣru d-Dīn tells us – everything needs effort.
Today's Economy
Feb11 2018 English 25min
If you love, you are happy to give everything. That is why shayṭān is trying to prohibit the love of the Prophet ﷺ and to make people enemies of each other and to make people spend what they don’t have and so make war. This is the economy of today.
Zāhid
Feb08 2018 English 18min
To be zāhid is to care nothing for dunyā whether Allāh ﷻ gives it to you or not. This sohbet explains the advice of Shaqīq al-Balkhī to Sulṭān Ḥārūn ar-Rashīd. A leader should be one who serves the people and keeps them from Hell. A leader should not be one who follows his desire for power or wealth.
