Third in the series of sohbets on the night of Mevlid for Haji Fuat Rabbani (qas). Sayiddina Muhammad (saws) is the Prophet of the end times. There are many forces working against Islam in ahir zaman, even though there are many Muslims, and new beautiful masjids. The lifestyle is lost. But everything is in the hands of Awliya (friends of ALLAH swt). The kingdom of Prophet Isa (as) is building, and Sayiddna Mehdi (as) is coming to bring down tyranny.

Why are You Not Happy?

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

1431 Jumada al-Awwal 16 (May 30, 2010)
Why are you not happy? When you are upset, you may get what you are asking for and be worse off. Or you may become animal. When the Seal of Prophets (saws) was sad, he was sad for the sake of others who were not listening. He was not sad for his ego. Be happy for whatever comes to you, because it comes from ALLAH swt.

Thursday evening, Muharrem 14, 1431 (December 31, 2009)

In response to a murid’s question, Sheykh Abdul Kerim Efendi is saying that a physically disabled person is safe from running around and getting into wrong situations. Two types of people who will be able to give intercession for others on Judgement Day. One group are the able-bodied who work for the sake of ALLAH swt and who suffer through heavy tests without complaining. The second group are people who were not given legs or arms or able bodies. ALLAH swt will compensate them in Ahirat with what they want. Also, those ones who could not run around will intercede for able-bodied sinners.
