General Zikir Sohbet: Love of Holy Prophet (sws)

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Saturday evening, Safar 16, 1431 (January 30, 2010)

Sheykh Abdul Kerim Efendi is saying to take a lesson from the bees: There is only one leader. The key to Paradise is ‘La illaha il ALLAH’. But loving each other is also required. Understand what is causing your troubles – spiritually. It is from losing love. Connect with one who will teach you love and obedience to Holy Prophet (saws). Then there is the story of Uwase Kurani.

Why Declaring Lordship?

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Thursday evening, Safar 21, 1431 (February 4, 2010)

Sheykh Abdul Kerim Efendi is saying that people are declaring lordship, asserting their likes and dislikes, their freedom. But they do not understand the value of each breath. The Sheykh counts your breaths for you. People do not know their roles, and are angry all the time with each other. Ego declares, “This is me.” But if ALLAH swt is there, who are you?

Friday Afternoon Sohbet: Bayat

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Friday afternoon Safar 22, 1431 (February 5, 2010)

Someone took bayat on the telephone. Afterwards, Sheykh Abdul Kerim Efendi is saying that to progress in tarikat, you must connect with someone who represents Holy Prophet Muhammad (saws) on earth in these times. Spend a few minutes a day to build the connection. Initiation sets your tombstone in place; now you begin to prepare for your grave. Naksibendi Hakkani way forbids anger. The Shaykh teaches what you need. There is nothing you can give the Shaykh.
