Enjoy the Ride

Life runs quickly. It is critical to reach the Day of Judgement in safety. The knowledge of Islam is much too deep, however, blindness like that of the Wahabis has given fruit to the ISIS monster.

Medicine for Black Magic
Nov29 2015 English 30min
Allah loves the thankful servant. Be grateful. Don’t complain about Black Magic. Driven by emotionality, it is powerless against belief in Allah. His manifestation cannot be made invisible.

Allah Orders Goodness
Nov27 2015 Turkish 21min
Allah orders justice and generosity; Allah only orders goodness. However now, every place in this world is captured by shaitan. It is demonizing Islam and ordering every badness and man’s animal nature is following it, and, will follow it until the coming of Mahdi (as). Do not follow liars. Allah loves honesty.

Be Clever
Nov26 2015 Turkish 11min
When Allah likes someone, He shows the way. Europeans consider themselves clever but those who don’t know their Creator are stupid. When they reach their real life they will be filled with regret.

Don’t Be Hopeless

If One Grape Falls
Nov15 2015 English 15min

Safety in Safar
Nov14 2015 English 30min
This Safar will be heavy. Say as many Astaghfirullah as possible and keep yourself within your house, within your self. Be humble and submit to your Lord who says: My Mercy precedes My anger. Dunya is a means to reach Allah, it is not to be owned.
Don’t Fight Allah Almighty
Nov10 2015 English 21min
The groups that call themselves Islam - salafi, isis, and the ones that disrespect the sahaba - are like mushrooms growing on a tree. They come and they go without affecting the tree itself. Allah will protect His tree - His Din, His Prophet - as He protected His House from the elephant. Don’t fight Allah.

What Is Your Size?
Nov07 2015 English 18min

Turkish peoples’ hearts have supported a government they can be comfortable with.
