Sheikh Mehmet defines Tariqa as the protector of Sharia and of Religion. It is directly connected to the Prophet (sas) and so keeps his Sunnah and his blessing. Sincerity of heart is most important. Beware of those who speak the language of Quran but not its true meaning.
The Miracles of Mawlid
Jan02 2015 Turkish 35min
There are many miracles of the Prophet (sas) especially at the time of his birth but perhaps his greatest is that, although illiterate, people continue to learn from the wisdom of his teaching. Anyone who doesn’t give thanks each day for the honor of being a part of his Nation is someone without goodness. Watch out for those who don’t respect him, in particular Sayyid Qutb.
Oxygen for the Drama
Jan01 2015 English 30min
2014 was the worst year in our lives but it taught us a necessary lesson. No matter who you are or what you have, only Allah remains. Leave the drama. Leave the competition over place or title or possessions. Look for the love of the Sheikh, the Prophet and Allah.
New Year
Dec31 2014 Turkish 22min
Allah gave the Nation of Muhammad (sas) so many special gifts that He gave to no other prophet’s nation before. But the Muslims do not see this and they try to imitate other nations and their ways. The celebration of the solar New Year is one of these imitations that brings no lasting benefit and no happiness.
Be Strong with Allah
Dec30 2014 Turkish 16min
To be strong is not important. To know you are weak is important. All strength comes from the pleasure of Allah. So seek His pleasure.
To Find Peace in Yourself
Dec29 2014 Turkish 21min
The meaning of Islam is Peace. This is the true Islam, the Islam of the Prophet (sas). Those who follow and love the Prophet and his Companions are the majority of Muslims - Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jamaa. In this month of Mawlid you are invited to this way.
Next to Mawlana
Dec28 2014 English 29min
The murid’s focus on Mawlana Sheikh must continue to remain strong. He is filling their hearts and caring for them. As servants we have many faults. We must look correctly. We must work for his pleasure. No place is better than the one next to Mawlana.
The Purple Level
Dec27 2014 English 27min
Understand the spiritual journey. “Don’t be confused, don’t look for something that’s not for you”. Be strong and survive. No need for weakness. Mawlana Sheikh built up a city for his murids. He made everything clear. Black, white, and, the highest level for the elite, purple.
The Month of The Prophet (sas)
Dec26 2014 Turkish 31min
This is the holy month of Rabi’al Awwal, the month in which the Prophet (sas) was born, Mawlid. We must celebrate by giving charity and salawats. The night of the 12th is like Lailatul Qadr. The most important thing is to love the Prophet (sas), the Beloved of Allah, and to teach this love to our children.

Ziyarat Mawlana
Dec25 2014 Turkish 17min
Any place where Awliya’Allah stayed for 40 days becomes a maqam for them. To visit them there is as if you were visiting them alive. You receive blessings and rewards and they are happy with you. To deny this is to have learned nothing from Mawlana Sheikh Nazim.
As-Sadiqin
Dec23 2014 English 28min
Without Maulana Sheikh dunya could never leave the murid’s heart. His force is behind his murid. Chasing dunya, the self gains nothing. Allah will give everything. To begin with Sheikh means also to complete with him, to be with true ones, the Sadiqin.
Spiritual Adrenaline
Dec21 2014 English 23min
The heart must boil with something. Mawlana put a happiness, a spiritual adrenaline in our hearts and we must share it, give it. He gave us the address to find this inner peace and we must hold on to it and not let it go.
Don’t Give Fatwa
Dec20 2014 English 41min
Just as Sheikh Muhammad follows Mawlana Sheikh Nazim who followed his sheikh, Sheikh Abdullah, true spirituality is to continue with the Sheikh. Sharia is not to be used for individual gain. Decisions relating to Allah Almighty are a serious matter and carry serious consequences.
Zakatu-l ‘Ilm
Dec14 2014 English 10min
You should try to make your prayer and practice as perfect as you can. Listen to the scholars and learn. This brings benefit for you and for them it is like zakat - they are required to teach what they know.
One Plus One, One Sheikh
Dec13 2014 English 27min
There is rich life and poor life but none of them are easy and they all end up in the same place. Only with a Sheikh can you change this classic life: born, work, die. There is only one Sheikh who can take you to the oceans of Rasulullah. There are many khalifas but only one Sultan.
We Are Servants for Allah Only
Dec13 2014 English 10min
Tariqa teaches Adab. There is an adab for the derga and an adab for the mosque. Certain things are not appropriate to be done in holy places. And to be Muslim is to accept this good advice.
His Beloved Ummah
Dec12 2014 English 13min
The Prophet (sas) is the Beloved of Allah, and we are the beloved of the Prophet (sas) - his beloved Ummah. Love for him will bring color, excitement and life to your life. Put this in your heart and make it grow.
