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: Invitation to Paradise

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Friday May 29, 2009 (Jumada Thani 4, 1430)

Sheykh Efendi is saying that ALLAH swt ordered us to drop everything worldly to come to Jummah, because if you are busy with the service of your Lord, the world will run after you. The invitation is to go back to paradise. Use your breath wisely while you live so you will go out of this world through the right door. Be merciful to yourself. It’s never too late to understand what ALLAH swt wants from you. Learn from being with the saliheen (righteous ones).

Thursday Evening Sohbet: Hold Faith in the End of Times

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Thursday, August 7, 2008 (6 Shaban, 1429)

In these end times, holding onto faith is like carrying hot coals in your hand. People with faith will not get fooled by unbelievers or by dunya (the world). Be with saliheen – friends of ALLAH – who will connect you with Prophet saws. ALLAH swt was with him. Leave everything that does not fit to the laws of ALLAH. These things will lead you away from Islam.

Thursday Evening Sohbet: Be with Saliheen

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Thursday evening, December 20, 2007 (Dhul Hijja 11, 1428)

Islam requires that you be with community. Shaytan loves to separate mankind, to take them from dunya to hell. Be with the saliheen (righteous people). Otherwise you are punishing yourself. (During the second half of this talk (10:40 mins), Sheyh Efendi translates the sohbet into Turkish.)
