Everything people do in this century is only for show. Allāh ﷻ asks us to be clean but not just our bodies and our clothes. Ladies change their hairdo at the beauty shop hoping to change their selves. We must try to be clean inside as well and to obey heavenly orders. We must be and do for Allāh ﷻ.
Real Honor
Dec30 2000 English 23min
In Shawwal of 2000 Mawlana spoke to a group in Lefke about the importance of gathering for the sake of Allah: This is the center of the teaching of Shah Naqshiband Hz.

Make a Checkup
Jan19 1997 English 37min
If you have a complaint about your situation, check your relationship with Allāh ﷻ. His ﷻ rights should come first in your life. With the honour of being Man, comes responsibility. Find peace in spirituality and especially in the month of Ramaḍān when you belong to Allāh ﷻ night and day.

Spiritual Perfection
Jan12 1997 English 17min
Growing older results in a spiritual perfection. We must never be saddened by changes because Allāh ﷻ has honoured us by making us human and that never changes. Sayyidunā Yūsuf (as) in his prison was never sad. As we get older it is as if we are returning home.
Granted to Germany

Servant, Worshipper or Mistaken
Mar26 1994 English 30min
Servants must know what makes them blessed. To say “we have higher education” is ignorance. A real servant says to Allāh ﷻ, “As You like”. Those who try to force the ego to surrender are worshippers nevertheless. Those however who say “we do not need to pray” take themselves to be lord and lordship belongs only to Allāh ﷻ.
The Crown Princes of Allāh
Feb28 1994 English 19min
Mawlānā talks about the order for mankind to say, “Al-ḥamdu liLlāh”. This is a special grant to man because of the honour granted him by Allāh Almighty. He is a candidate to be crown prince and if he succeeds, his kingdom is not of this earth.
99 Steps
Dec07 1993 English 30min
The aim of the Naqshbandī Ṭarīqah is to teach the murīd to say – “I am a weak servant.” Then he becomes available to be supported by heavenly power. If the murīd does any action to accept or to follow a Shaykh he will be supported by the Shaykh, by the Grand Shaykhs, by the Prophet ﷺ, and by Allāh ﷻ. If he takes one step, they will complete the other 99.
Dead End
Sep22 1993 English 27min
Using the road signs he saw in America, Mawlānā warns us that the world is on the ‘Wrong Way’, on a path that leads to a ‘Dead End’. They have replaced the Sulṭān with presidents and parliaments, and Heavenly Commands with man-made rules. Man-made rules command no respect and the result is unrest and misery.
Heart Collectors
Aug31 1992 English 6min
Search for a heart collector – a shaykh or walī. This may be hard but if you are serious you will find. Until then find a good servant, even if he is not a Muslim, and keep his company. You will be blessed.
How to Get Spiritual Support?
Jan31 1991 English 10min
In this powerful talk Mawlānā makes plain the situation of all mankind. Man is weak. He is created weak. No amassing of armaments can dispel his doubt, fear and insecurity. Certainty is from Allāh Almighty; trusting in Him ﷻ alone and seeking spiritual support.
A Swiss Saint

The War
Jan01 1991 English 11min
Only if all of mankind asks from the Lord, "O our Lord, give us Your ﷻ blessings, Your ﷻ forgiveness, Your ﷻ mercy then You ﷻ may extinguish this fire." If they are saying, then it is so easy for Allāh Almighty to extinguish the fire of world war.
