The people of today either sleep too much or not enough. They have given up the disciplined life for ‘freedom' and they have lost everything. They are on the level of animals and they do not get what they want in this life or the next. They have replaced the Bismi Llāh with pictures.

A World of Square-Heads
Dec11 2001 Turkish 37min
No one thinks any more. They are trying to homogenise the world, wipe out culture and history and individuality. They call it ‘modern’ but it is the system of shayṭān. People are imprisoned in a box of their own making and are losing their humanity to become square-headed imitations.
May Allāh Not Write Our Names with Theirs
Dec10 2001 Turkish 5min
We are all servants of Allāh even shayṭān. Mawlānā speaks about Bin Laden and America, about Ṣalāḥu d-dīn and the Kurds. And he reminds us that if we keep our hearts with Allāh we are safe just like the old lady in the time of Noah (as).
Ādam and Ḥawwā’
Dec08 2001 Turkish 49min
A man’s weakest moment is in the presence of his wife. Then he is open to shayṭān. A‘ūdhu biLlāhi is the weapon that will make shayṭān flee. All the troubles of the world arise from people making bad ones their leaders.

Dec06 2001 Turkish 16min
Every Friday Allāh invites the people of paradise to Ḥaḍīratu l-Qudus; a beautiful journey through the heavenly realms where everyone receives according to their rank. On that day, when Allāh Almighty will show His beauty, the faces of the believers will shine like the sun.
Believe in the Unseen
Apr01 1996 Turkish 41min
Believe in the unseen until the curtains of the ego are lifted and you see what you believe. Pass through the desert to find the Ka‘bah. Your station is according to your love for Allāh. Qur’ān is more than just words. The meanings of Fātiḥah would load 100 camels with books. Look at the Aṣḥābu l-Kahf who loved Allāh so that He loved them and the dog who loved them gained paradise.
Dethroning Sultan Abdul Hamid Han
Nov09 1995 Turkish 8min
Mawlānā speaks about the dire consequences that resulted whenever a Sulṭān was deposed and in particular the dethronement of Sulṭān Abdul Hamid Han, may paradise be his abode.

How to Use Your Diploma
Nov05 1995 Turkish 14min
Mawlānā sympathizes with the students who study to get a diploma and then cannot find a job. The market is saturated with doctors and lawyers. The only thing you can do with your diploma is brew tea. So much money, so much time, wasted. There are other jobs to be done.
Be Clean
Nov04 1995 Turkish 36min
Our target is to die clean and to be raised among the pure. How do we do this? All Prophets were sent to clean hearts. The Prophet ﷺ cleaned all of his companions until they reached their station of perfection. The Shaykhs and Saints carry on this work. Here is a lesson on being clean.
In One Night
Nov04 1995 Turkish 9min
Islām is a living faith. The saints are central to it. The wahhābiyyūn however disrespect them. They have done great damage to the countless buildings and sacred sites our ancestors built in service of Islām. All this will change. With the coming of Ṣāḥibu z-Zamān a saint will pray, whereby the Jinn will be commanded to restore everything back to its original form in just one night.
Questions to Mawlānā
Dec14 1994 Turkish 19min

Our Glorious Past
Dec14 1994 Turkish 17min
We are most ignorant of the Ottoman period. But understanding Islamic history is what our young people need. If Allāh ﷻ bestows it, Divine grace will bring back our Glorious Past. In these time, it is difficult for some to distinguish from ḥalāl and ḥarām. And etiquettes with the shaykh have also been lost. Those who change Islamic judgement, put their egos in the place of their Lord. Real believers smash the idols of their egos. It is important to spread the word of Islam through the written word, or recorded as it can be accessed any time.
