Last night after `isha prayer Mawlana instructed H Mehmet to lead the people in making a dua for rain. They recited an ayat of the Quran over 1,000 stones that had been gathered from the sea earlier in the day. The ayat (42:28) was recited 70 times over each pebble. After fajr prayer H Mehmet threw all the stones back in the sea. The sea, which was very calm and still, began to get stormy and rough within a few minutes and then it rained.

Halal Is Clear and Haram Is Clear
Oct10 2011 Arabic
“Halal Is Clear and Haram Is Clear -الحلال بيّن و الحرام بيّن" conveys a very strong message. In our days, people are avoiding Shariat and running away from religion; and therefore are falling deeper and deeper into darkness. And those who call for Shari'at have from religion only its form leaving its meaning and essence out. And the cure? It is Mahdi (as).
Meclis Mashurat An Nabi (sas)
Oct10 2011 Arabic
"Meclis Mashurat An-Nabi (sas) - مجلس مشورة النبي" unveils the mistake that many Muslims make, whether intentionally or unintentionally, when they claim that Islam is Democratic. Asteghfirullah! There is no "Democracy" in Islam; but there is "Mashurat".
For Every Pharaoh There Is a Moses a.s.
Oct10 2011 Arabic
An Important Message From Mawlana Shaykh Nazim to The Copts of Egypt: Mawlana watched the Copts' fury in the streets of Cairo last night and the bloody clashes with the Egyptian troops. Mawlana was very unhappy with what he watched on TV. After Fajr prayer Mawlana gave a strong address, but this time to the Copts and all the Christian brothers in the Muslim world. "كل فرعون له موسى - For Every Pharaoh There Is a Moses - Her Firavun İçin Bir Musa Vardı"

Why
Oct09 2011 Turkish
A group of Turkish young men were eager to kiss Mawlana's hand and get his blessings. Mawlana gave them important advice. Then, one of them asked a question. His question is one that keeps imposing itself on the minds of many of us; whether or not we have the ability to verbalize it or the courage to pose it. "Niçin - Why - لماذا"
Tanzimat Fermani
Oct09 2011 Turkish
"Tanzimat Fermani" was the first step in the decline of the Great Ottoman Empire leading to its final breakdown. This Ferman stated the equality between Muslims and non-Muslims regardless of their religion. This opened the door to the secularization of Turkey and was completed with the declaration of the Secular Turkish State. This was an unprecedented step that contradicted, and even negated, the glorious history and tradition of the Turkish people. Because of the possibly sensitive nature of this sohbat we asked Mawlana's permission today before announcing it.
Through a Magnifying Glass
Oct08 2011 English
Last night Mawlana gave an unexpected English Sohbat. He got out his magnifying glass to illustrate how man in his pettiness can justify his false sense of self-greatness. "Through a Magnifying Glass", Mawlana showed the difference between the sons of Adam and Shaytan. Mawlana showed the true essence of human greatness to which man, despite all his grandiosity and endless endeavours to assert himself, is blind. Mawlana explained the meaning of 'fana fillah - annihilation in Allah' and revealed the seed of all evil and human misery. Mawlana asked for this sohbat to be translated into as many languages as possible.

Punishment for the Wrongdoers
Oct08 2011 Turkish
In half-serious, half-joking tone, Mawlana discusses with H. Feridun, his son-in-law, the possible forms of punishment. "Punishment - Ceza" is the main tool by which governments can treat the wildness and the irresponsibility of its subjects. The main point about punishment is not merely taking revenge from someone for committing a certain crime, but to teach the individual to carry the consequences of his actions and forbid the society from committing such forbidden actions. In all Divine Laws, Punishment is an essential tool to develop the individual and clean the society, and not to destroy or damage.

Keep the Surviving Group
Oct07 2011 Arabic
Some Egyptians and Syrians asked about: the constitution, the conflicting political parties, the lawful ruler and the signs of the end of times. They also asked, 'Since Mawlana always calls for the rule of Shari'at, does this mean accepting the rule of Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood) or Salafis, who are the only powerful voices calling for Shari'at in the political arena?' Mawlana gave clear answers to all these questions and an important warning: "Keep the Surviving Group - إلزموا الفرقة الناجي".

The Lions of the Beloved's (sas) Nation
Oct05 2011 Arabic
In the car, during the usual afternoon drive to the mountain, Mawlana addressed his honorable guests, "The Lions of the Beloved's (sas) Nation - Habibin İmmetinin Aslanları - أسود أمة الحبيب".
Banu Esfar
Oct04 2011 Turkish
After the sohbat, "Tebligat", many people send to ask Mawlana what they should do in these difficult days. Today after Fajr prayer, Mawlana shortly explained how difficult these days are and said he will explain more later "Banu Asfar - بنو أصفر"
