Sohbet from Ashura: Pride and Servanthood

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Saturday evening, Muharrem 10, 1431 (December 26, 2009)

Sheykh Abdul Kerim Efendi is saying that without the help of the Lord, we cannot even take another breath. What is the reason to be proud? Running after dunya, are you one of the 150,000 who will not see tomorrow? All Prophets called people to worship ALLAH swt, to obey His orders, and to be His servant. Hazreti Isa (as) and Sayidinna Mehdi (as) will come with the same message. Fill the heart with nur, through the power of zikir, to be ready for their arrival.
