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.

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.

We Are Not Living in Paradise

Hurry for Ākhirah Not for Dunyā
Mar15 2020 Turkish 8min

The Words That Clean
Mar14 2020 Turkish 16min
The advice to avoid this virus is to be clean but cleanliness does not just come from soap and water. The non-believer is not clean according to the Qur’ān and they are denied entry to Mecca and Medina. Just saying a few words, lā ilāha illā Llāh Muḥammadur Rasūlu Llāh, will clean you. The Prophet ﷺ also used to advise making a promise to give charity if you heal from an illness.
Run to Allāh ﷻ

One of Allāh’s ﷻ Secrets
Feb07 2020 Turkish 14min
Sincerity is one of Allāh’s ﷻ secrets. He ﷻ gives it to those He ﷻ loves. Few people have it and they are lucky. They worship purely for His ﷻ pleasure, not for any gain or reward. A true Murshid can show you how to be purely for Allāh ﷻ.
Don’t Be Cheated with This Life
Feb06 2020 Turkish 13min
Don’t be cheated by people who are Muslim but do not respect or follow the Prophet ﷺ. They call everything bid‘ah but it is their way that is bid‘ah. They have been around less than a hundred years and they invent new sunnah. They will cheat you of your Ākhirah.
Even the Prick of a Thorn
Feb05 2020 Turkish 8min
