Jummah Khutba: Nights of Forgiveness in Coming Holy Months

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Friday, June 27, 2008 (23 Jumad al-Thani, 1429)

ALLAH swt is ready to forgive His servants. He has provided special nights during the months of Rajab, Shaban, and Ramazan for us to ask for forgiveness — if only we show respect to these months and these nights. Problems that seem to interfere with paying attention during those months comes from us breaking our promise, and dropping sincerity. Shaytan is in chains, so try to do better every day to control the ego.

Ego, Shaytan, and Intelligence

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Friday afternoon, June 20, 2008 (Jumad Thani 16, 1429)

Sheykh Efendi is responding to a question about ego and shaytan. Shaytan whispers to your ego, supporting the desires. Use the Intelligence and your free will to control the ego. Consult, listen to the sohbets, to build your intelligence so it does not fall into the hand of the ego. The Sheykh trains you against the tricks and traps of ego, bringing you clean to the presence of Holy Prophet (sws).

Education is fard (obligatory) in Islam for everyone, but turn your attention away from dunya to learn about Ahirat (hereafter life). Don’t challenge death when you are not ready for it.

Thursday Evening Sohbet: Blame Yourself for Your Wrongs

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Thursday night zikir association; June 19, 2009 (15 JumadThani, 1429)

Sheykh Efendi is saying that ego gets strong from feeling good that we do what Allah swt ordered us to do; but we ignore that we also do what He ordered us NOT to do. Discomfort comes from living according to non-Muslim lifestyle and not living according to teachings of Holy Prophet saws. Allah swt says “Be with Saliheen” (righteous people). Consult with holy people. Above every knower there is another knower. But people think they are the top; and they attack others with all the wrong thoughts shaytan floats through their mind.

Jummah Khutba: Who Does ALLAH (swt) Love?

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Friday, June 6, 2008 (JumadThani 2, 1429)

We are living in exile on earth. ALLAH swt sent Prophets, Guides, and Books, and gave us intelligence to remind us of our purpose. Still running after dunya. ALLAH loves best the one who makes jihad with his body and his wealth. Second, He loves the one who lives apart and spends his time in worship. But even the ones who try these actions are still fooled by dunya and the ego to break their promise.
