On This Special Day
| |
Jul30 2020 Turkish 17min
|
|
|
On this special day the real pilgrims stand at ‘Arafāt and pray for forgiveness. We also fast, make dhikr, ask for forgiveness and forgive those who have hurt us. We do whatever goodness we find to make people happy. Feeding one hungry person is better than making 1,000 mosques.

Yawmu t-Tarwiyah and Yawmu ‘Arafah
| |
Jul29 2020 Turkish 15min
|
|
|
Today is Yawmu t-Tarwiyah and tomorrow is Yawmu ‘Arafah, special and blessed days. It was the sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ to leave Mecca on the 8th, and spend the next day at ‘Arafāt. This is Ḥajj. Allāh ﷻ is teaching us something this year by restricting the Ḥajj but there is still much reward in fasting these days.

Allāh’s ﷻ Rule Is Best
| |
Jul28 2020 Turkish 23min
|
|
|
Shayṭān makes fitnah to spoil good deeds. They try to change the rules of nature set by Allāh ﷻ. The worst was the French Revolution when they changed the week to ten days. Bad scholars want to change Ramaḍān to winter, imsāk to shurūq but they only destroy themselves.

You Only Cheat Yourself
| |
Jul27 2020 Turkish 12min
|
|
|
When you try to cheat Allāh ﷻ by being insincere or lazy in your prayers or not keeping your word, you only cheat yourself. Allāh ﷻ is not in need of your prayers or your charity and He ﷻ knows your intention. In this time, people cheat by teaching ignorance in place of knowledge.

Don’t Do Anything According to Your Dream
| |
Jul26 2020 Turkish 17min
|
|
|
Allāh ﷻ created men on different levels. The prophets are the highest and of them the Prophet ﷺ is the highest. Our dreams are not the same as the dreams of prophets. When you dream something you don’t have to follow it. Be happy for good dreams but they are not orders from Allāh ﷻ. You must not follow dreams which are against Sharī‘ah.

The Fight between Good and Bad
| |
Jul25 2020 Turkish 18min
|
|
|
From the time Qābīl killed his brother Hābīl (as) people have been fighting each other. Why? Some fear Allāh ﷻ and some follow shayṭān who convinces them they are the best and doing good. But those who say they are peaceful are actually doing violence.

Opening the Ayasofya
| |
Jul24 2020 Turkish 19min
|
|
|
Today is a day of two celebrations, Jum‘ah and the opening of the Ayasofya for prayer after 86 years. Sultan Mehmet Fatih bought the broken empty church and gave it as waqf to be a mosque until Qiyāmah. His curse is on those who prevented it. The whole Muslim world rejoices at the opening.

Help Us to Do Good
| |
Jul23 2020 Turkish 9min
|
|
|
At the end of time every small act of goodness is rewarded by Allāh ﷻ, the most Generous. But we cannot even do good without His ﷻ help. In these ten holy days of Dhū l-Ḥijjah ask for help in doing goodness and help to control our ego.

No Ḥajj This Year
| |
Jul21 2020 Turkish 12min
|
|
|
Tonight is the first of the ten holy nights Allāh ﷻ mentions in Sūratu l-Fajr, the first of the holy month of Dhū l-Ḥijjah. There is no Ḥajj this year. Allāh ﷻ is waging war on humanity in order to make them remember Him ﷻ. When Allāh ﷻ wants something, do not oppose it. The most important thing is to be with Him ﷻ.

Hold Strongly to Your Good Luck
| |
Jul20 2020 Turkish 12min
|
|
|
Allāh Almighty gave us everything. Most importantly He ﷻ made us human beings and Muslims and on His ﷻ way. Hold on to what He ﷻ gave you and be thankful. If you lose it, you will not have another chance. Our biggest enemy is our ego.

Our Hearts Between His ﷻ Two Fingers
| |
Jul19 2020 Turkish 14min
|
|
|
In the last days the Prophet ﷺ said people will leave Islam in great numbers. We can only pray to Allāh ﷻ, the Changer of Hearts, to keep our hearts with Him ﷻ, the One Who never changes. The Prophet ﷺ showed us the way. This is the way to happiness and peace.

Lucky Who Follow Him
| |
Jul18 2020 Turkish 25min
|
|
|
Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh (q) had only two murīds. His teaching he gave to Shaykh Nāẓim (q) who in turn gave it to the whole world. Anyone else who claims they have directly from Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh (q) has no adab, spreads misunderstanding, and has lost.

Remember the Most Important Thing
| |
Jul17 2020 Turkish 12min
|
|
|
It may look like things are powered by men and petrol but nothing works except by permission of Allāh ﷻ. So remember Him ﷻ and ask forgiveness and maybe He ﷻ will take away this illness for the sake of those He ﷻ loves who remember Him ﷻ.

We Are Not Living in Paradise
| |
Jul16 2020 Turkish 13min
|
|
|
Don't be sad or worried. The Prophet ﷺ and the first Muslims had a hard time in Mecca also. This world is not meant to be Paradise. Remember Allāh ﷻ, remember Ākhirah and what you do in this life will not be empty. Allāh ﷻ rewards those who depend on Him ﷻ.

This too will pass Yā Hū
| |
May10 2020 English 29min
|
|
|
This too will pass, a phrase written everywhere in Ottoman times. Life is a river only going in one direction and Allāh ﷻ is in control. Life is short so prepare for Ākhirah. Mawlānā (q) said old age is like a jacket of fire yet everyone asks to live longer. He tells stories of Nūḥ (as), Dhū l-Qarnayn (as), and Ibn ‘Arabī (q) in illustration.

Allāh ﷻ Is the Director of the Earthly Stage
| |
May09 2020 English 23min
|
|
|
Allāh ﷻ is the director, the earth is the stage, and all of us are the actors. Allāh ﷻ gives us a little time to learn to surrender. The Awliyā’ and Prophets are the good actors who never rest in trying to please their Lord. We are the weak ones needing their help. Try to be a good one because your personal qiyāmah is coming.

Food for the Hungry Man
| |
May08 2020 English 36min
|
|
|
Allāh ﷻ gave us thirty days of fast. There is nothing more valuable for the hungry man than food and water. This brings us back to basics and Allāh ﷻ loves the humble. The religion of Ādam (as) is like the crescent moon and the religion of Muḥammad ﷺ is like the full moon. The complete can never accept to be incomplete again. Only Islām is complete with true fasting, sajdah, and cleanliness.

The Legacy of Mawlānā (q)
| |
May07 2020 English 20min
|
|
|
The legacy of Mawlānā (q) continues because he was continuing the legacy of Rasūlu Llāh ﷺ. They are alive in their graves continuing until Qiyāmah. You must look for your own qiyāmah and get yourself ready. Don't fear the virus, fear Allāh ﷻ. Each day say a hundred times Astaghfiru Llāha l-‘Aẓīm wa-atūbu ilayh.
