Iman is to have real belief. The foundation of a strong belief is to accept and follow what Allah ordered: To say the shahada, to pray, give zakat, fast and perform the Hajj. These are precious things. Allah rewards their performance by an increase in real belief. This is Allah’s wisdom.
The Attributes of Awliya
Aug04 2014 Turkish 16min
The Awliya are successors to the Prophet (s) and beloved to Allah. Since Adam (as) they have passed knowledge systematically, guiding people to the Right Way and to Akhirat. They tirelessly oppose Shaytan. Its grip over people saddens them. Self-denying, they are saints, fearful only of Allah and never grieving for themselves.
Beware of Extremists

Sheikh Mehmet warns us about those who don’t follow the middle way and who commit unforgivable sins in the name of Islam. Don’t be deceived. This is not Islam. Follow Ahlu s-Sunnat wa l-Jamaat, the only path that leads to goodness.

Safety in Heavenly Knowledge
Jul31 2014 Turkish 16min
Allah created a plan and an arrangement. The Prophets and Messengers were sent with them to teach people. Allah’s knowledge is above logic and mind. Logic and mind are limited; they are without benefit and a lower form of learning. True knowledge is heavenly, sent by Allah to benefit people here and Hereafter.

It is almost Eid although it doesn’t feel like because of the pain and suffering in the Muslim world. Why is this? Sheikh Mehmet repeats his father’s answer - it is because the Muslims follow the way of the unbelievers and are not unified under one Khalifa.

Bad Thoughts
Jul24 2014 Turkish 16min
Bad thoughts come from ego but Allah shows a beautiful way to fight them. A bad thought held in the mind is not a sin. However, when it is spoken about or acted upon it becomes a sin. To fight the ego is difficult but winning against it makes things easy and Allah rewards this.
For the Sake of Allah
Jul23 2014 Turkish 20min
Give for the sake of Allah without asking for reward or recognition from others and Allah will reward your generosity with His. Sheikh Mehmet reminds us of the story of S. Ali (ra) and its mention in Quran.
