If one cannot control oneself, how can one control others? Mawlana summarizes and explains the present political, and general human, paradox with this question. Last night, addressing the Arabs, Mawlana, in concise words, reminds them of the valuable things they forgot, or were made to forget, starting with "Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Raheem - بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم".

Risalei Nur
Oct15 2011 Turkish
One man told Mawlana that he reads "Risale'i Nur". Mawlana said that the reading of a book can never substitute the guidance of a Shaykh. The Risale-i Nur collection is a six-thousand-page commentary on the Quran written by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi Hz., who was, as Mawlana related, a true Ottoman Alim and who had both real knowledge and sunuhat/inspiration and whose knowledge and writings are far beyond the scope of understanding of anyone in our times.

Our Honor and Dignity
Oct12 2011 Turkish
Last night Mawlana gave a strong address to the Turks asking them to take a lesson from the destruction in Antalya and to make tawba before the full blow of Allah's Wrath hits them. Though the address was to the Turks, the message is for all Muslims. They are all caught in the trap called "Modern life and Modern civilization", and now they have to find their way out, before it is too late. "Our Honor and Dignity - Irzimiz ve Şerefimiz - عرضنا و شرفنا"

Dua for Rain

After fajr prayer H Mehmet threw all the stones back in the sea. The sea, which was very calm and still, began to get stormy and rough within a few minutes and then it rained.

Halal Is Clear and Haram Is Clear
Oct10 2011 Arabic
“Halal Is Clear and Haram Is Clear -الحلال بيّن و الحرام بيّن" conveys a very strong message. In our days, people are avoiding Shariat and running away from religion; and therefore are falling deeper and deeper into darkness. And those who call for Shari'at have from religion only its form leaving its meaning and essence out. And the cure? It is Mahdi (as).
