Don’t look for perfection in this world. This world is for testing. The higher you are the more the tests. Īmān makes it easier to tolerate. So work to make your īmān stronger. If you want perfection be pleased with the will of Allāh ﷻ.
The Green Island
Dec06 2017 Turkish 17min
Shaykh Efendi remembers 50 years ago when the population was smaller but the mosques were full. Cyprus, the Green Island, was won for Islām by the saints and martyrs who are buried here. The ones now living here do not know their Lord and are not grateful but everything in this world is temporary.
God Is Only One
Dec05 2017 Turkish 17min
Allāh ﷻ created man and gave him mind to understand who created him and why. All the Messengers have been sent to tell people their God is One. Shayṭān cheats people by telling them the messenger is God, or that God has died, or that there are many gods. Follow the pure way of the Prophet ﷺ, the way of Ṭarīqah.
Remember Him ﷻ
Dec03 2017 Turkish 14min
Enjoy the good things Allāh ﷻ has given you, they are decorations for this life. Remember Him ﷻ and thank Him ﷻ. Remembering Him ﷻ keeps you from doing bad things. If you are thankful you win in Ākhirah. If not, you lose.

The Beloved Ones of Allāh ﷻ
Dec02 2017 Turkish 19min
Awliyā’ of Allāh ﷻ and their miracles are real and they are on the real way of Islām; in the heart of it. These beloved people, they don't have any fear, any sadness. Their tombs should always be respected. We are visiting their graves to get blessed and to remember Allāh ﷻ. Those who attack these Awliyā’ will never succeed. They will be punished here, and more in the ākhirah.
A Mercy for All Creation
Dec01 2017 Turkish 19min
Allāh ﷻ made the Prophet ﷺ the best of all His Creation. We are lucky to follow him ﷺ and make ṣalawāt. Blessing him ﷺ is for our benefit not for his. Then Allāh ﷻ will look at us with the look of Mercy. Don’t be lazy to follow his ﷺ sunnah.

Pray for a Light Test
Nov30 2017 Turkish 14min
Allāh ﷻ taught Ādam (as) all he needed to know to reach the other life with goodness. This dunyā is the lowest life and everyone is tested in it. The best you can do is to make du‘ā’ that Allāh ﷻ keeps your tests light.
The Way of the Prophet ﷺ
Nov29 2017 Turkish
There are only two ways in this life – the way of the Prophet ﷺ and the way of shayṭān; the way of Paradise and the way of Hell. Who loves him ﷺ is with him. We are lucky to be of his ﷺ nation. Even prophets want to be of his nation.
The Adab for Ziyārah
Nov28 2017 Turkish 20min
The adab for making ziyārah is to give Salāms and to read three Ikhlāṣ and one Fātiḥah. The Prophet ﷺ and the Awliyā’ are alive, hearing and seeing. They return Salāms. To take things from the maqām without asking is showing disrespect and showing that you do not believe they can see you. Be careful.
Ḥaqqu l-Ḥayāt
Nov27 2017 Turkish 14min
The Prophet ﷺ and Awliyā’ are more alive now and supporting and helping. They have real life. To believe and follow their way is real life. Without this you are not alive and your ākhirah will be worse than death. Be with them and be alive here and forever, in shā’a Llāh.
Honoured by His ﷺ Birth
Nov26 2017 English 23min
This is the month in which the planet was honoured by the birth of the Prophet ﷺ. Jibrīl (as) was his holy friend. He started life as an orphan in the desert and in 63 years he ﷺ brought the Truth for everyone equally. Even those who do not accept him copy the law that he brought.
Don’t Be Arrogant
Nov14 2017 English 17min
Don’t be arrogant and say you are strong. Allāh ﷻ will give you something to show you your weakness. Don’t judge others. Don’t disrespect the ṣaḥābah and awliyā’. Don’t try to fix perfection. This is not Islām.
Be with the True One
Nov12 2017 English 16min
This is a hard time because the true ones are few and hard to find. Happiness comes from love of Rasūlu Llāh ﷺ. Love for him ﷺ is the true love. It is the plan of shayṭān to destroy this love for the Prophet ﷺ and his companions and awliyā’ by first destroying their graves.
Spiritual and Material Balance
Nov11 2017 English 16min
It is important to have a murshid to help you follow in the way of Rasūlu Llāh ﷺ. He will help you find a balance between your spiritual and material life because then you can fly safely.
Truth Will Be Up
Nov06 2017 English 29min
Today people want to do away first with Ṭarīqah, then with Madhāhib, then with Ḥadīth. They are munāfiq. It is necessary to have a madhhab until the time of Sayyidinā Mahdī (as). He tells the remarkable life story of Imām Shāfi‘ī (q) as an example of the incomparable excellence of these chosen men.
No Cure for the Idiot
Nov03 2017 English 18min
There is a cure for every disease except idiocy. For Ākhirah as for dunyā you must start at the bottom and work your way up. Then the shaykh or Allāh ﷻ can give. Today people want something for nothing. Everyone wants to be on top. Learn from watching others. Be straight and don’t be afraid.
