Staying in High Stations

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Friday Afternoon, 1431 Jumada al-Awwal 15 (April 30, 2010)

Someone asked, “If one has reached to high stations, where they become a drop in the ocean, how is it possible that they will lose that station?” Prophet (saws) made dua to not be left for an instant to his own ego. One instant of not paying attention to your own path can cause someone to fall, especially from heights. Any drop of love for dunya prevents one from reaching high stations.

Friday Afternoon Sohbet: Dunya Is Confusion for You

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Friday afternoon JumadAwal 9, 1431 (April 23, 2010)

Sheykh Abdul Kerim Efendi is answering the question of a murid: “How is one going to pass (the test) on their last day?” Seyh Efendi is saying to take care of today. Understand what keeps you from your reality at any moment, what separates you from ALLAH swt. Look how to fix yourself, not to point fingers at others. A person damages himself more than the whole world can damage him. Do everything for the sake of ALLAH swt.

Saturday Evening Sohbet: Using Technology Can Undermine Faith

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Saturday evening JumadAwal 3, 1431 (April 17, 2010)

Sheykh Abdul Kerim Efendi is saying to follow the lifestyle of Prophet (saws) and the sahaba (ra), not the ways of the West. Faith comes out of your heart when you are doing something wrong. If you die then, you are in jahiliyya. Islam came to put boundaries on the bad behavior and traditions of pre-Islamic arabia. Now 21st century people are making their own bad traditions online. Where are you standing in the coming battle between Hak and batil?

Also – nightime is for jinns. No need to have so much interest in them, or in technology. Stay home at night and sleep.

Thursday Evening Sohbet: Peace Comes from Within

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Thursday evening RabiThani 30, 1431 (April 15, 2010)

Sheykh Abdul Kerim Efendi is asking how can you be a servant of ALLAH swt and have so many troubles? Don’t forget the one who pulled you from trouble. Look at your own faults to understand why you are troubled by others. Keep the way of Holy Prophet (saws) and your tomorrow will be better than today. There is little peace in the world – even in the home of Sultan Awliya. Peace comes from inside, from sharing and giving and loving others. Don’t carry other people’s burdens by backbiting and slandering. It is torturing yourself.
