Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Friday, Muharrem 8, 1431 (December 25, 2009)

Sheykh Efendi is speaking about the many events that are remembered for happening on the 10th of Muharrem: Adam (as) was forgiven; the ship of Nuh (as) settled on land; the sea parted for Musa (as) to lead the Bani Israel to safety; Yunus (as) was freed from the fish; Ismael (as) was born; Hazreti Huseyin (ra) was martyred. Now, a big wind is coming with a flood of fire. To be in safety, be around the Ahl ul-Beyt – members of the family of Holy Prophet (saws).

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.

Paradise is at the Feet of Some Mothers

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Friday afternoon, Safar 8, 1431 (January 22, 2010)
Paradise lies at the feet of some mothers – those who are obedient to the Will of ALLAH swt. Anger is not for women. Story of blacksmith taking care of his mother, why he did it, and the stations of both mother and son. Some mothers today are not approving their children’s Islamic lifestyle. Be careful of what you say because it may come true if you are beloved to ALLAH swt.

Jummah Khutba: Disobedience and Obedience

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Friday, Zul Hijja 15, 1430 (December 4, 2009)

Disobedience is happening at all levels of society from government to family relationships. People have forgotten the reason for their creation, understanding everything through the ego, understanding wrong. Correct obedience is to the ones who are obeying ALLAH swt and His Prophet saws, not to the ones who try to stop you from the way of ALLAH and His Prophet.

Jummah Khutba: Islam Is Not Subject to Your Ideas

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Friday, 11 DhulQada 1430 (October 30, 2009)

Sheykh Efendi is saying that Islam is the only religion that ALLAH swt accepts. If you are not following a rightly guided leader, you are following your ego. Islam cannot be changed to match your ideas, your beliefs, your lifestyle. Ignorants and the tools of shaytan are out there now, showing signs to the wrong direction. The ones holding the light of Islam are hidden. You have to look for those ones to find the true Islam.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Friday, 13 Shawwal 1430 (October 2, 2009)

Obey ALLAH and follow a guide – not sheytan.

General Zikir Sohbet: Obedient Servants Please Allah (swt)

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Saturday July 4, 2009 (Rajab 13, 1430)

People became slave to 4 things; their ego (nafs), to their desires (hawa), to shaytan, and to this world (dunya). ALLAH swt gave free will to control the ego, not to do whatever you like. Feel shame for being disobedient to Him and His friends. All prophets advised against running for dunya. Holy Prophet saws said there is little time left. The last call is given. Keep busy with ALLAH swt and His Prophet, and with your sejde (prostration). Welcome to obedient servants. The winds are taking everything else.
