The meaning of Islam is Peace. This is the true Islam, the Islam of the Prophet (sas). Those who follow and love the Prophet and his Companions are the majority of Muslims - Ahlu s-Sunnah wa l-Jamaa. In this month of Mawlid you are invited to this way.
The Month of The Prophet (sas)

This is the holy month of Rabi’al Awwal, the month in which the Prophet (sas) was born, Mawlid. We must celebrate by giving charity and salawats. The night of the 12th is like Lailatul Qadr. The most important thing is to love the Prophet (sas), the Beloved of Allah, and to teach this love to our children.

Ziyarat Mawlana
Dec25 2014 Turkish 17min
Any place where Awliya’Allah stayed for 40 days becomes a maqam for them. To visit them there is as if you were visiting them alive. You receive blessings and rewards and they are happy with you. To deny this is to have learned nothing from Mawlana Sheikh Nazim.
Zakatu-l ‘Ilm
Dec14 2014 English 10min

We Are Servants for Allah Only
Dec13 2014 English 10min

Qasida

There is music for dunya and music for Allah. They are not the same. Even in the time of the Prophet (sas) they sang for him and he was happy with them.
The Real Benefit

The Last Muslim Army
Dec07 2014 English 23min
The last Muslim army was that of the Ottomans. They obeyed the orders of the Prophet (sas) and they were guided by Masha’ikh. Today there are only tyrants, no more Sultans, and Islam cannot co-exist with tyranny.

Maqams of Awliya

Where a Friend of God, Wali Allah, has spent 40 days becomes a maqam for him. So all the mosques and dergas in England, where Mawlana spent so many Ramadans, are now his Maqams, blessed like his grave with his holy presence. You can visit them when you are sad or stressed and find relief.
Money-Guards
Dec05 2014 English 24min
Mawlana established so many mosques all over the world. To be alive they must be filled with dhikr and prayer. Building a mosque is sadaqa jariya that continues to profit the giver even after he is dead. So many rich people do not and cannot give and they die and are forgotten. The smart ones are the ones who give.
Chosen for Allah’s Religion
Dec05 2014 English 8min
