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.

Thursday Evening Sohbet: Slavery or Servanthood, Prisoner Between Two Breaths

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Thursday evening DhulQada 24, 1430 (November 12, 2009)

Sheykh Abdul Kerim Efendi is saying that mankind became robotic slaves to their machines. They forgot why they are living, that they are supposed to be servants to the Creator. The government promotes slavery through education that teaches wrong things: darwinism and running after enjoyment. We are not free, but prisoners between two breaths.

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.

Jummah Khutba: Your Ego Is Your Enemy

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Friday, 27 Shawal 1430 (October 16, 2009)

Sheykh Efendi is saying not to interfere with work that is not yours – especially in regard to religion. Prophet (saws) is saying that if you live the knowledge you know, ALLAH swt will teach you what you do not know. It’s not university knowledge. It’s the knowledge of how to become better; it is taken from a master, a teacher. It is learning that your ego is your enemy, and trying to fix yourself before the Angel of Death comes for you..

Saturday Evening Sohbet: Essential Knowledge for Living

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Saturday, 18 Ramazan 1428 (September 29, 2009)

Sheykh Efendi is saying all burdens are lifted from people sitting in an association for sohbet. Know who you are; then you can know your Lord. All the knowledge is nothing without good manner (adab, edeb). The summary of necessary knowledge is knowing that a mustard seed of good actions brings reward, and a mustard seed of bad brings punishment. Difference between anger and jilal. Wake up before it is too late.

Thursday Evening Sohbet: Islam Is a Lifestyle

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Thursday evening; July 16, 2009 (Rejab 24, 1430)

Sheykh Efendi is saying that Islam is a complete lifestyle. But Muslims have come under the control of zionists and the lifestyle they are promoting. Holy Prophet pbuh said that a believer does not fool anyone, and cannot be fooled by anyone. But Muslims have developed fear of death, and are losing fear of ALLAH swt. If you don’t keep the shehadat alive in yourself, you turn away from having hope in ALLAH swt and start to believe in other things – like pills and doctors. People are being fooled by academic knowledge. Work for ahirat.

Thursday Evening Sohbet: Prophetic Knowledge Not in Computers

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Thursday June 18, 2009 (Jumad Thani 24,1430)

Sheykh Efendi is asking, “How long can you continue not knowing why you are living?” Hazreti Adam aleyhi selam made one mistake and cried for centuries to ask forgiveness. Shaytan did not ask forgiveness, and lost everything in spite of his knowledge. Safety is from obeying ALLAH swt and His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), not from book knowledge. Submission to a friend of ALLAH is required to reach safety. Mercy of ALLAH swt is there as long as you breathe. Seek Prophetic knowledge. It’s not in computers. The healthiest way of receiving knowledge is through dreams. Watch out for dajjal. Shaytan never reached to Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in any way. Safety is only through him. During the month of Rejeb, keep to yourself, at least after Fajr or after Asr.
