The ego continues to test you until your last breath. Even the Prophet (sas) asked Allah to protect him from the ego. The more you feed it, the more it wants. It is never satisfied and you can only keep it locked up for your sake and that of others.
Jealousy: The Biggest Illness
Mar27 2016 English
The biggest illness of the ego is jealousy. All people have it to different degrees. It is the last thing that the saints get rid of. The people of today are consumed by jealousy even for the Prophet (sas) and his saints. That is why they are destroying maqams, objecting to mawlid, and killing the people.
Abdun Ṣabūr wa Shakūr
Mar26 2016 English 21min
Be thankful. Allah loves His servants who are thankful to Him and He gives them more. Be patient and thankful because He is The Patient and The Thankful. Take the middle way and seek fame in Allah’s eyes not in the eyes of the world.
Muslims Have Never Been Terrorists
Mar22 2016 English 18min
You are tiny in comparison to the greatness of Allah’s creation. However, you and even the ants have a mission and a reason, all servants of Allah. No one has the right to take any life. This is not Islam. Terrorists do not respect the creation or the Creator.
Dressed by Your Sheikh
Mar20 2016 English 27min
Mawlana always gave a small pill with an atomic effect. He said “Enjoy your present, the future isn’t yours. Be patient and wait for things to resolve." You must approach your Sheikh without the dress of dunya and then he will dress you in your higher stations. He also talked about the anniversary of Nabil’s passing.
Surrender to Your Murshid
Mar19 2016 English
There are two sides to tasawwuf. You must surrender to the Murshid and the Murshid must accept your surrender and behave as a father to his children. There is no surrender in dunya, dunya is about maximizing. There is no fathering in dunya, dunya is about taking. With Mawlana you are on solid ground, he doesn’t want any losing among his children.
Islamic Communists
Mar15 2016 English 21min
Beware of those Muslims who behave like communists. They reduce Islam to the lowest common denominator, the lowest level of understanding and of learning, as if Quran has only one meaning. They are without mercy and without appreciation for the works of others.
Ladies’ Day
Mar08 2016 English 22min
Sheikh Bahauddin gives some advice to ladies on the occasion of International Ladies’ Day. Women he says are being cheated with only one day when men have the rest of the 364.
Strong Belief
Mar05 2016 English 28min
Ask Allah for strong belief because with strong belief everything is easy. Shaitan is always fighting to destroy belief, now and in the past. Sheikh Mehmet talks about Shah Naqshband and the Grandsheikhs in India and how they strengthened the belief of so many. They are an example for us.
How to Continue Without Him
Mar01 2016 English
Set no limits on Allah, when you ask from Him, ask big. To sleep at the feet of your Sheikh is very precious. The test is how to continue without him. Be with the Haqq because that never changes.
Beware of Shaitan
Feb28 2016 Turkish 17min
Our meeting here is just for Allah, not for buying or selling. Shaytan hates such gatherings. Good and bad are clear. Beware shaytan and leave doubtful things which are the door through which shaytan enters.
Be Happy
Feb27 2016 Turkish 7min
The summary of Quran is that believers should not be sad about anything of this world. In the end you will be in paradise with Allah’s Mercy. Be happy!
Those Who Do Not Desire Position (28:83)
Feb26 2016 Turkish 20min
To seek knowledge is a fard in Islam. Real knowledge comes from a connection to the Prophet (sas). Other kinds of learning only feed the ego. The desire for fame or position is worse than the desire for wealth because it cannot be shared with others. Tariqa connects you to the Prophet (sas).
Hadra

Our Way; Mawlana’s Way
Feb25 2016 Turkish 14min
Mawlana planted the seed and it continues to grow. New people are still coming to his place for his baraka. A very few people have a love that makes it hard for them to come here, like the love of S. Bilal (ra) for the Prophet (sas). Others should come and continue on the way he planted.
Islam Has Always Been Light
Feb23 2016 English 24min
Now they are making Islam to be darkness when it was always light. Even Ibn Sina they accuse of being mushrik when he contributed so much benefit to the world. Islam teaches love for neighbors and openness. Be proud to be Muslim and spread the beauty.
The Big Picture
Feb21 2016 English
Understand the big picture. Lose your personality. Do everything in the name of the Sheikh. Sleeping, eating are from the Sheikh. Do not mis-estimate those Mawlana Sheikh loved and trusted. Better to fight your ego than fight your spirituality.
