Mawlānā speaks to the ḥadīth: One breath is worth 1,000 years in the grave. In any breath you might say the shahādah and win salvation. In the grave any action, for good or bad, is no longer possible. If we could hold on to the spiritual power of Lā ilāha illā Llāh, we could fly.
Within the Circle of Islām
Jun28 1994 Turkish 7min
Safety lies within the circle of Islām. Muslims are guarded physically from harm by assigned angels, a circle of protection. But Muslims are also within the circle of Allāh’s ﷻ mercy which Mawlānā calls the circle of gentleness; their inadequate actions are judged with mercy and forgiveness.
Caravan to the Divine Presence

You are rewarded according to your intention so make big intentions. Find the caravan to the Divine Presence and join it. Find a Murshid who can help train your ego so you can ride it to your Lord. Who is busy with Islām rather than dunyā, will have no problems.
The Circle of Hud (as)

At the maqam of a great Awliya, Mawlana warns the people that the world is counting down. There is no safety other than within the circle of the kindness of Islam, the circle of belief that Sayyidna Hud (as) drew around himself and his followers. No other way leads to perfection or to peace.
