Islām is the perfect system and Allāh made it clear. It is wrong to say something is allowed when it is not but it is also a sin to say something is not allowed when it is. Shaykh Efendi addresses the question of whether it is permissible to make ‘Umrah before you have made Ḥajj.
The Way of Truth
Sep16 2016 Turkish 25min
Once you believe Islām forgives all sins like the shepherd who died shahīd before having prayed even once. Shaṭān is stubborn and never forgives. We follow the Prophet (sas) and the Qur’ān, the way of truth. But even on this way there can be those who are misguided and misguiding. So be careful.
Then He Cures Me (26:80)
Sep15 2016 Turkish 18min
Be careful what you eat and drink. In what and how you eat lies the cure for most illness. All healing comes from Allāh. See a doctor if you must but ask Allāh to cure you by means of the doctor or medicine and this will be rewarded as worship.

Don’t Cheat
Sep13 2016 Turkish 14min
Don’t cheat people by looking better on the outside than you are inside. If you wear the dress of the Prophet (sas) you must have good behavior and try always to be better or it is like praying without wuḍū’. And don’t let shayṭān cheat you by wearing a turban and jubbah.
Millati Ibrāhīm (2:130)
Sep12 2016 Turkish 13min
We should not be proud of our national origins rather we should be proud to be Millati Ibrāhīm, in the way of S. Ibrāhīm (as), and Ummati Muḥammad, the nation of S. Muḥammad (sas). The Ḥajj is a gift of S. Ibrāhīm. He and his son Ismā‘īl built the Ka‘bah on Allāh's orders and he called the people to come. Lucky are the ones who answered.

"We accept You, O our Lord and we are coming. What You say we accept and are happy to do." These are the most beautiful words in Islām. Today the pilgrims are on ‘Arafāt and at maghrib they become Ḥajjī. One day a year, certain place, certain people. All other pilgrimages are imitations.
Love the Prophet ﷺ
Sep10 2016 Turkish 22min
Today is Yawmu t-Tarwiyah. We give thanks a 1000 times to Allāh for making us among the Nation of the Beloved. To love him is obligatory, more than your family or yourself. But to love him is also easy because Allāh made him the finest and best. Even in dreams he smells of roses. Our intention is to follow his sunnah and we ask forgiveness for what we cannot do.
The Ten Days of Dhū l-Ḥijjah
Sep09 2016 Turkish 23min
Allāh makes an oath by the ten nights (89:2) these are the first ten nights of Dhū l-Ḥijjah. Who can fast these days gets much reward. Who can fast the 8th and 9th is forgiven the sins of the year before and the year after. Who can fast the 9th day is given the reward of S. Ayyūb (as). The animal sacrifice of ‘Īd is required and must be done with mercy.
A Shaykh for the World
Sep08 2016 Turkish 21min
Shaykh Mehmet is just returning from a visit to the Far East, one of the many places his father used to visit to meet with those who loved him for the sake of Allāh. There he found that no one had forgotten Mawlānā. When one serves for Ākhirah it lasts forever.
Don't Forget Allāh
Aug07 2016 English 19min
Nothing is forever except Allāh and whatever you do for His sake. The manifestation of our time is to forget Allāh. People think they have power, technology, energy but all power comes from Him. He turns off the switch and everything is gone.
We Are Weak Servants
Aug06 2016 English 20min
It is important to remember that Allāh is the Greatest and we are His weak servants. If you accept this, everything will be made easy. There are so many things done in the name of Islām that are against Islām. Look to Turkey for true Islām.
Accept the Truth
Jul24 2016 Turkish 11min
Allāh ordered the Prophet (sas) to tell people to accept the Truth, al-Ḥaqq. This is a command for all people until the end of time. For those who accept, there is paradise here and in the hereafter, in shā’a Llāh.
Long Life Full of Goodness
Jul23 2016 Turkish 14min
The Companions asked the Prophet (sas): who are the best of people? He answered: those who live long and do good throughout their lives. Mawlānā Sheikh Nazim (q) was the best example of this - 92 years of goodness without changing.
Armageddon Must Come
Jul22 2016 Turkish 31min
We are getting close to the end of the time allotted the children of Ādam (as). The whole world knows that Armageddon must come. They try to make it happen in countries other than their own as they tried in Turkey last week. Mahdī (as) will come and clean the world of unbelief. Until then stay away from the oppressors.
Be Prepared for Death
Jul21 2016 Turkish 12min
The Prophet (sas) said that two things stay young in every person no matter how old they get: love of life, and hope they will live forever. But Ṭarīqah teaches us to think of our death at least seven times a day. We must be prepared so we are not ashamed.
