When Allah likes someone, He shows the way. Europeans consider themselves clever but those who don’t know their Creator are stupid. When they reach their real life they will be filled with regret. Seeking status or wealth is the sign of a weak ego but to know Allah and be well behaved towards Him is to be clever.
Don’t Be Hopeless
Nov24 2015 Turkish 9min
Who is hopeless and anxious in the world at this time? It is the unbeliever. Believers have Allah’s support, a big favour. Allah can do anything and everything. Al Muqtadir is not a small word. Allah may say, “Be” and it will be. People studying at universities, doctors, professors, must think on this.
Follow the Right Way
Nov23 2015 Turkish 16min
Safety lies in the straight way. The Naqshbandi Tariqa shows Muslims how to keep the Right Way: follow what the Prophet (sas) did and what he said. Allah chose him as an example for Muslims. Those who leave this endanger themselves. Disrespecting him, his family and companions will lead to regret.
Clear Your Heart

Sheikh Mehmet Efendi tells the story of one of the companions promised paradise by the Prophet (sas) while still alive.

Exam Time
Nov17 2015 English
Wake up, it is exam time. It is the month of Safar and also a time of testing for Mawlana’s murids. This is a kindergarten Mawlana said. We are not sheikhs. We must follow the sheikh and that is Sheikh Mehmet. He doesn’t need us for support or money but we need him in order to reach safety.
If One Grape Falls
Nov15 2015 English 15min
The treasure of this life is the love of Rasulullah. To love him is to follow what he says. We do not accept violence. In the time of the sultans one soldier was found walking in the vineyard. His commander told him that he would be held accountable for even one fallen grape.
Safety in Safar
Nov14 2015 English 30min
This Safar will be heavy. Say as many Astaghfirullah as possible and keep yourself within your house, within your self. Be humble and submit to your Lord who says: My Mercy precedes My anger. Dunya is a means to reach Allah, it is not to be owned.
Don’t Fight Allah Almighty
Nov10 2015 English 21min
The groups that call themselves Islam - salafi, isis, and the ones that disrespect the sahaba - are like mushrooms growing on a tree. They come and they go without affecting the tree itself. Allah will protect His tree - His Din, His Prophet - as He protected His House from the elephant. Don’t fight Allah.
The Gate to Paradise

What Is Your Size?
Nov07 2015 English 18min

The Election in Turkey

Turkish peoples’ hearts have supported a government they can be comfortable with.
There Is Only One Sheikh

There is only one Sheikh. Those who ignore this rule will be hit badly. Haqq carries responsibility and good manners are essential for souls treading this path. You are monitored.

Purity
Oct31 2015 English 20min
Purity is organic, not contaminated. Naqshbandi followers of Mawlana Sheikh must carefully keep purity. Our main goal is to follow Rasulullah (sas). We love, respect and follow him as his favour to us. Allah was enough for him. Pure knowledge does not seek power or wealth and in doing so, we stay spiritually safe.
Perfection and Chaos
Oct28 2015 English 20min
The ego looks to express itself and its opinion by finding imperfection in Allah’s creation when no imperfection exists. That is why the world is in chaos. The sufi sees the world as Allah Almighty sees it, not as the ego sees it, and he is surrendered to Allah’s perfection and does not interfere.
Praying (Dua)
Oct26 2015 Turkish 12min
There are two kinds of dua. One to ask Allah to give good things to people and the other to ask Allah to curse them. We don’t do the second kind. We pray for guidance for all the ummah and this brings reward for them and for us. This is the way of mercy, the way of Allah.
Be Responsible (Mukallaf)
Oct25 2015 Turkish 18min

Don't Be Stubborn
Oct24 2015 Turkish 12min
