Medicine for Black Magic

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.

If One Grape Falls

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.

Perfection and Chaos
Oct28 2015 English 20min

True Benefit
Oct17 2015 English 13min
We are following in the steps of Mawlana with the one he left to guide us. From the outside it looks like prayer and worship have no benefit because the benefit is hidden.
