Do Whatever You Will (41:40)
May31 2011 Arabic
"Do Whatever You Will - اعملوا ما شئتم" is one of the holy verses which Mawlana recited in his address to Shaykh Hisham Effendi, few days ago, about the on-going tragedies in the Muslim World. Mawlana said that Allah (swt) tells His servants that they are free to do what they like but that does not mean that they will not have to account for their deeds. And in it lies the secret of Divine Justice and of the Divine Promise to support to believers.
A Cure for Every Illness
May31 2011 Turkish
Few days ago, Mawlana gave this sohbat addressing Haji Rukeya. "Her Derde Derman - A Cure for Every Illness" starts in a very deep way telling about Grandshayk's old murids. The tone of the Sohbat then alters and becomes very sarcastic providing one of the most brilliant satires of our modern times. The Sohbat is incredibly funny, but behind that is Mawlana's pity for his old-time schoolmate, the previous president of Turkish Cyprus, Denktash, who lies helpless in the Intensive Care without any chance for recovery.

As You Have Seduced Me (7:16)
May30 2011 Arabic
Haji Fadia, more than 30-year murid from Lebanon, after fajr prayer, asked Mawlana an important question. She said that many brothers and sisters continue with whatever bad habits they have, such as smoking, drinking, etc. and if they are criticized, they give the argument, "If Allah wants me to change, He would have changed me. If Allah wants me to leave this habit, He would have made me leave it. I am only a follower of the Divine will and schedule." Mawlana answered this critical point in the clearest, simplest and most conclusive way." As You Have Seduced Me - بما أغويتني".
Nur Muhammadi

Lefke is very crowded. Brothers and sisters from all over the world keep pouring in. In spite of the endless number of people waiting to see him day and night and his health condition, Mawlana, kindly, meets all and, generously, gives out the grants of Heavens. A group of Pakistanis, followed by a group of Spanish, had their shares, too, of "Nur Muhammadi". May Allah Almighty grant our Shaykh health, strength and long life. Amin.

For Each Is a Direction toward Which It Faces (2:148)
May27 2011 Arabic
After Fajr prayer, Mawlana asked Haji Fadia, an old mureed from Lebanon, about the position of Druze in Lebanon and said that they have a quality that he admires very much. Mawlana also explained that each nation has its unique, distinctive qualities, "For Each Is a Direction toward Which It Faces - وَ لِكُلٍّ وِجْهَةٌ هُوَ مُوَلِّيهَا" and the dangers of becoming cosmopolitan.
Juma Sohbat: Don't be Drunk! Seek Eternal Life
May27 2011 English
Mawlana warns us to stop getting 'drunk' running after pleasing our physical desires. Our ego (donkey) is not going to be allowed into the Divine Presence in eternal life. We should be learning about our heavenly aspects, what our Creator has granted to us from His favors for eternity.

They Will Not Cease to Differ
May24 2011 Arabic
The goal of all the political and social laws in Shari'at (Islamic Divine Law) is to allow the people to live together a good life under the flag of Islam. The Shari’at maintains both: the unity of the Ummah (the nation) and the diversity of its subjects. All materialist ideologies, however, whether it's democratic, socialist or whatever you want to call it, with its lack of spirituality and the absence of the Divine, can never give meaning, value or perspective to the diversity of humanity; and therefore the spread of political unrest and social chaos everywhere. Mawlana in his unique and exquisite way explains it all with an amazing reference to the Holy verse, "They Will Not Cease to Differ - ولا يزالون مختلفين".
