Everyone needs structure, discipline in their life. For the Muslim, the five pillars of shahada, salat, fasting, charity and Hajj provide the needed structure for the life. The main discipline is the prayer. By Allah's grace the discipline becomes a sweetness and real goodness in our life.
The Ocean Of Being
Jul14 2013 Turkish 46min
If you say "I am weak", then make sajdah. The station of angels increases with sajdah. Eating and drinking gives power to the animals, but man gets power from "Allah Hu Allah Haqq", from Adab. Know that "The Ocean Of Being" all comes from the two letters, kaf and nun, the Divine Command: Be and it Is. Do not be from the animal kind running after dunya, nor from the traders seeking Akhirah. Be from the sincere ones who want only Allah!
The Two Brothers
Jul13 2013 English 22min
Haji Bahauddin tells the story of two brothers illustrating that real worship is keeping one's heart with Allah whether living in the market or in seclusion. We must learn to love Allah and know that He loves us.
In The Middle Of The Sea
Jul13 2013 Turkish 36min
Today's Man does not have even as much brain as a bird. A bird runs after its rizq and glorifies its Lord. Man runs after dunya and is blind to his spirituality. There are so many parties, groups, and sects all fighting over the same claim, Pharaoh's claim; and it is the same claim that carried Pharaoh to "The Middle Of The Sea"!
In Which The Qur'an Was Revealed (2:185)
Jul12 2013 Turkish 38min
Only the foolish runs after dunya. What does he run after? Mountains, rocks and stones? What can he do with it? Put it in his pocket and leave? It is the holy month of Ramadan, so learn from the story of the Disciples and seek the right table.
Aynu-l Fijah
Jul11 2013 Turkish 40min
Last night Mawlana watched on the news the damage that was inflicted upon the mosque of the Companion Hz Khalid Ibnu-l Walid (ra), in Homs, in Syria. Mawlana on his first trip to Syria had spent one year in Homs and made a Khalwat in the mosque of the great Sahabi (ra). Therefore the news of the damage of this mosque and of the suffering of the people caused sadness above sadness that could be felt throughout this sohbat. "Aynu-l Fijah" is the main water spring in Sham.
Sabilu-r Rashad
Jul10 2013 Turkish 40min
The prayer, "الهم إلهمنا رشدنا- Alahumma Ilhimna Rushdana" is a treasure. Use your mind and know its limits. The child's limited mind sees the stars in Heavens and thinks they are like the lamps at home! Therefore the prophets were sent. Yet people prefer their imperfect ways to "Sabilu-r Rashad". That's why the Prophet (sas) said, "My nation will be fragmented into 73 parties, all in hell except one." Beware of the jealousy of the Christians and the Jews!
The Iftar Table
Jul09 2013 Turkish 37min
O Man know what you want, in order to be able to reach it. Look for the true meaning and do not run after false appearances. Be busy with your spirituality not with your animal. Honor this holy month of Ramadan. Look after the poor and the needy without showing off or wasting. Remember that the Companions (ra) each broke his fast with two dates while the Seal of Prophets (sas) broke his with only one date. And when the mountain of Uhud shook, it was ordered to stand still because it was carrying a Prophet, a Siddiq and a Wali
Where Is Our Grave?
Jul08 2013 Turkish 38min
Allah has created us beautiful, if only we can remain beautiful! Know that Dunya is not your permanent place and that your grave is waiting for you. Your grave is waiting, yet you were not created for the grave. An animal's grave is in the earth, but, O man, learn where your real grave is and prepare for it!
The Dress of Ramaḍān
Jul07 2013 Turkish 38min

The Egyptians On The Streets
Jul06 2013 Turkish 37min
Mawlana is following the events in Egypt and is very sorry for all the people. Today after Fajr, Mawlana sent an important message to all "The Egyptians On The Streets".
Mawlana sends a warning to the people of Egypt especially the young people. Men, keep to the mosques. Ladies keep to your homes. No good can come of mixing in the streets!
Diogenes
Jul05 2013 Turkish 42min
Learn who is Al-Insan Al-Kamil and teach the people. Why is Alexander "The Great"? Because he observed the honor and kept the rights of each creature. Yet the true value of this life he had to learn it from "Diogenes" in his barrel. These figures make us wonder if the Western civilization has ever benefited from the wisdoms of its own tradition. Was the West ever true to its claims to superiority and leadership?
Egypt: What's Next?
Jul04 2013 Turkish 37min
Mawlana was following the developing events in Egypt and was happy that the Egyptian people could realize their goal without bloodshed and violence. He was praying for them. Now, he asks, "What's Next?" How are they going to ensure that what they allowed to happen before will not happen again?
The Shari'ah & The Constitution
Jul03 2013 Turkish 42min
S. Musa (as) was ordered to take off his shoes because he was in al-Wadi al-Muqaddasi Tuwa. He was ordered to take off dunya and to come to "Us". The Disciples asked for the table and did not see that this big world is all the Divine table. And the Christians, till now, are still fighting over the table! O Muslims, Leave all fighting and look after the honour given to you, keep Allah's Shari'at! Remember that the Beloved (sas) was called to step on al-'Arsh, the Throne.
The Prophet's Tree
Jul02 2013 Turkish 39min
This is a tiny drop from the endless oceans of love and beauty of the Beloved (sas). O Muslims know to whom the angels made sajdah, and to whom Adam also made. Know in whose mirror the Divine Magnificence is reflected. Know why Man's grave is a mercy to the Earth. Know what held S. Isa's (as) tongue and made S. Musa (as) drunk. Know, "لا تَحْزَنْ إِن اللَّـهَ مَعَنَا - Do not grieve; indeed Allah is with us (9:40)". Know and keep Adab!
The Never-Setting Sun
Jul01 2013 Turkish 31min
Last night Mawlana was watching closely the explosive events in Egypt. Mawlana felt very sorry for all the people who obviously need something but do not know what they need, or what is to come next. This morning, Mawlana presented all those, fighting over their wants and needs, with the right direction in which to look. Mawlana also gave all those, arguing over Islam and Islamism, a taste of the True Islam. He said that nothing happens in this world without a reason and that what happens is deserved.
Learn from the Sun
Jul01 2013 Turkish 16min
Mawlana points out the sun to us. Look for the light and "Learn From The Sun". Know that nothing happens without a reason, so learn and understand.
The Nur Business
Jun30 2013 Turkish 44min
Search for light, be in the Light Business. The Lord made man with His own Hands in the most beautiful form; the form in which He showed Himself to His Beloved. But man chooses to be bridled by shaytan. All his aches and pains are from the whip of shaytan as he is being ridden. Who wants to be first, number one, follows shaytan. They will be punished by crushing each other. You should not hurt even an ant. You rejected the system of Allah and now see what you have got.
