Calculate large, don’t underestimate the favours of Allah. He gives you big gifts, try to fulfill them. And remember that the Sheikh tests each of us, large and small. So practice what you preach.
Allah likes the Truthful

Sheikh Mehmet warns us about the punishment for lying. Our Prophet (sas) was Al-Amin, the Truthful, and Al-Sadiq, the trustworthy. If we are to follow him and be of his nation we must try to be truthful and trustworthy. Then we will deserve, whether man or women, to be called ‘man’.
Purely for Allah

Sheikh Mehmet discusses the difference between the scholar whose aim is purely for Allah and the scholar who aims to please people. One has the level of the prophets of Bani Israil and if you sit with him your reward is great. The other is deceived and a deceiver and leads to ruin.

We are asking for the spiritual way and on that way you never ask to be at the top. You always ask to be the lowest. Even though he was the top Mawlana never said he was anything. But we must show him the respect he deserves and not even say psst to his cat.
One Order to Follow

Mawlana gave us one order to follow for our own safety and well-being. He appointed Sheikh Mehmet head of the Naqshbandi Tariqa. To follow his order, to follow his direction is our only duty, our only goal. Let the heartache and confusion be over. Let us relax and go back to work.
Stay at the Table
