1432.RabiulAhir.06 (March 11, 2011) Honor of Being Muslim
New!
In this sohbet, Seyh Efendi is speaking about the honor Allah (SWT) has given to the Children of Adam (AS).
Especially he is talking about the honor that is being given to the Nation of Holy Prophet (AS). Seyh Efendi
is saying that Muslims have fallen into western ideas and have forgotten about death and Akhirat, saying that
we must be giving value to the Akhirat life. He is saying that by not knowing the History of Islam, Muslims are
not following the way of the Sahaba-i-Kiram and are instead following the western lifestyle. Seyh Efendi is
speaking about the importance of leaving this world as a Servant of Allah (SWT).
1432.RabiulAwwal.29 (March 4, 2011) Protect_Your_Shehada
New!
Although the Muslims of today have faith in their hearts, they have lost their religion and they are running after
all wrong kinds of knowledge, especially the internet and facebook. Muslims today are running after western knowledge
but it is only planting the suspicion of Prophet (SAWS) in their hearts. The most important thing and foundation
for a Muslim is the Shahadat and sheytan is running to fool Muslims and take their Shahadat away. Remember your death
and protect your Shehada.
1432.RabiulAwal.02 (February 5, 2011) Hazret Aziz Mahmud Hudayi
New!
After Fajr a murid asked Sheykh Abdul Kerim Efendi about the story of Hazrat Aziz Mahmud Hudai (KS). Sheykh Abdul Kerim
talked about how this Saint went from being a prominent judge in the Ottoman Empire to becoming a humble murid of
Sheykh Uftade Hazretleri. Sheykh Abdul Kerim spoke about the severe tests that Hz. Aziz Mahmud Hudai went through and how
he ultimately became the Sheykh of the Ottoman Sultans.
1432.RabiAwal.16 (February 18, 2011) Live for Ahirat
So many people do not know why they are living and they are suffering for being disconnected from ahirat. When you know that Azrail
may strike at any second, and you don't know if you will go out as a believer, how can you enjoy dunya? Come to the love of ALLAH swt
through love of His Holy Prophet (saws), because everything in creation was created for his sake. Mehdi (as) is one man from Ahl ul-Beyt
who is coming to change the direction from dunya toward ahirat.
1432.Muharram.11 (December 17, 2010) Who May Speak for Islam?
What qualifies a person to speak for Islam? Philosophy and relying on your experience in a secular system are not
preparation for speaking about Islam. Knowledge of the ayats of the Kuran, living the Sunnah, and consultation are required.
Without these, do not speak

Be with Saliheen to Fight Depression
Muslims traditionally are not depressed. Why now? They are running
after secular lifestyle. The way out is to be with saliheen (righteous
people).

Sohbet for Young Seekers
Sohbet for five young seekers over breakfast at the Osmanli Dergahi:
All worldly knowledge derives from Prophetic - Heavenly - knowledge,
just as
the secret of the seed is not understood until the tree appears.
Philosophy only examines eathly knowledge, and never finds the Truth.
Don't try to
kill the ego. Learn to control it and to put it to work for you.
1431.JumadThani.16
(May

2010)
Why are You Not Happy?
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.
1431.JumadThani.15
(May
29,
2010)
Servant of ALLAH swt
Love for anything in this life takes one away from ALLAH swt and His
Prophet (saws). Love for the sake of ALLAH swt only.
You are responsible for all your actions, even if you do not recognize
the signs indicating the right action until years later.
How can one call himself intelligent if he does not see that all comes
from the Creator? ... and to say "La illaha Il ALLAH."?
Emulate one of the sahaba. Patience is essential to faith. No matter
what your rank or title, you are only a servant.
1431.JumaadaThaany.07
(May
21,
2010)
Your Past Does Not Determine Your Identity
Remember your past and run away from it. Where you came from is not
your identity. Seal your past from others, but don't forget
what you did wrong. Forget two things: what you did good for others and
what others did wrong to you. A 'center' is a place
for learning to leave one's bad characteristics behind.
1431.JumadThani.06 (May 20, 2010) Apologizing in Islam
When you break someone's heart and you realize it, you are under the
obligation to apologize. The other person is not under
obligation to accept your apology. You must do whatever is in your
power to get that person to accept.
1431.JumadAwal.28
(May
13,
2010)
Generosity
Someone asked how to be more generous. Peace and blessings come from
sharing and giving. ALLAH swt doesn't like
stinginess. Stingy people are tyrants.
Also, be on the right side when Sayidinna Mehdi (as) takes the Takbir.
1431.JumadAwal.28
(May
13,
2010)
Responsible Servanthood
Someone asked about participating in family time that is centered
around the TV. Sheykh Efendi is asking what is your intention -
to please them or to please ALLAH swt? A person is responsible for
their children until they reach maturity. Then they are responsible
for themselves. Everyone is given intelligence to know what is right
and free will to choose. There is no need to jump into non-Muslim
lifestyle because others do. A responsible person must do what ALLAH
swt orders for him.
1431.JumadAwal.22
(May

2010)
Between Creation and Dunya?
Someone asked a question about the time between creation of the spirit
and the time that spirit comes to the world.
The spirits of all people who have ever lived were created on the Day
of Creation. At that time, each individual promised to worship
and obey ALLAH swt only. We are responsible in this life to keep that
promise. And our spirit is questioned about it after it passes
out of the body. The spirit rejoins the body on Judgment Day.
1431-JumadAwal-16

What is Khalifa?
Mevlana Seyh Nazim Hazretleri's message is to the whole world. Stop
everything and be obedient to his words. Share his
words with the people who don't know him. Mevlana has said that a man
who brings together 40 people to make zikir is his
khalifa, which is like an ambassador. Our aim is to reach people, to
teach people how to say shehada and to protect it - until
the end of life - from the actions of the ego.
1431.JumadAwal.15
(April

2010)
Staying in High Stations
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.
1431.Jumaada_al-Awal.09
(April
23,
2010)
Dunya is Confusion for You
How are you going to pass the questioning on your last day? 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.
1431.JumadAwal.03
(April
17,
2010)
Using Technology Can Undermine Faith
Follow the lifestyle of Prophet (saws) and the sahaba, 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.
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.
1431.JumadAwal.02
(April

2010)
Find Your Own Orbit
With sincerity, you may begin to find your Lord. That will help you
discover your unique secret. In today's world, the spirit
is empty. But if you start to build your spirit, knowledge will come to
you.
1431.RabiThani.30
(April
15,
2010)
Peace Comes from Within
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.
1431.Safar.22
(February

Bayat
To progress in tarikat, connect with those who represent Holy Prophet
Muhammad (saws) on earth in these times. 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.
1431.Safar.21
(February
4,
2010)
Why Declaring Lordship?
People declaring lordship, asserting their likes and dislikes, their
freedom. But they do not understand the value
of each breath. The Sheykh counts your breaths for you. People do not
know their roles, and are angry all the time with
each other. Ego declares, "This is me." If ALLAH swt is there, who are
you?
1431.Safar.21
(February

For Those Who Want to Listen
Listen and obey the words of Sheykh Mevlana to reach your stations.
Otherwise you will lose what is valuable.
1431.Safar.16
(January

2010)
Love of Holy Prophet
Take a lesson from the bees: There is only one leader.
The key to Paradise is 'La illaha il ALLAH'. But loving each other is
also required. Understand what is causing your
troubles - spiritually. It is from losing love. Connect with one who
will teach you love and obedience to Holy Prophet (saws).
Story of Uwase Kurani.
1431.Safar.15

Divorce
Divorce shakes the Arsh of the Heavens. Keeping your obligations for
namaz/salat makes you a better person.
1431.Safar.8
(January

2010)
Paradise is at the Feet of Some Mothers
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.
1431.Safar.8
(January

2010)
Jummah Khutba: Obey your Creator
How can anyone live on the earth and not obey the Creator? You have
been given a little authority - over determining right from wrong. But
He
has all authority. Ask for His help to do what is right. Ask for His
forgiveness when you do something wrong. And continue to hurt and do
damage
only as much as you can bear the fire. The way you live is the way you
will die.
1431.Safar.7
(January
21,
2010)
What are You Able to Change?
There is little power in these days to change the things that you see
wrong. Changing 'with your hand' is the job of the government - to
prevent
people from doing wrong; but they aretrapping people instead, not
preventing. They are also interfering with parents teaching their
children to
fear ALLAH swt and to love, to receive both punishment and reward.
Darwinism is the basis of modern teachings. Plus children are exposed
to
violence and deviance on TV. Watch how the ego works when you are
trying to change things.
1431.Safar.7
(January
21,
2010)
Be an Obedient Servant
Are you learning who you are, or are you just programmed by technology
and entertainment? Paradise is only for clean
creatures; but ALLAH swt forgives His servants who ask for forgiveness.
ALLAH swt loves and takes care of obedient servants. Are you judging
what is right based on your ego and secular laws or on the laws of
ALLAH? This world will only become safe when Hazreti Isa (as) comes.
Until
then, find out why you are in this world.
1431.Safar.01
(January
15,
2010)
Jummah Khutba: Check Your Faith During Safar
Believers must follow Shariat - laws of ALLAH swt as revealed in Holy
Kuran and exemplified in the sunnah. Check the level of your faith to
be
ready for Azreal. Check your activity for what you do for the sake of
ALLAH. Check to see if you are renewing your shehada everyday to keep
your
faith alive. Keep obedience to your rightly guided leaders, to be
obedient to ALLAH swt. During this month of Safar, say 500
'Astaghfirullah' every day.
1431.Muharrem.22

Trust in Your Lord about Ahirat
Mankind is in this world to earn the next life, and to reach high
station in Paradise. Your potential is limited if you have to pass
through
hell. If you are not trying or you put it off, you will lose the
treasure. Many prophets had few or no followers who had no doubt. But
the
Prophets were telling them the message of ALLAH swt about ahirat.
1431.Muharrem.22
(January
8,
2010)
Jummah Khutba: Be Ready for Azrael During Safar
The month of Safar is coming, a very dangerous month with terrible
events. Believers must be especially aware of how they may go out from
this world. Don't count on your worldly position to save you. Did you
earn your ahirat today by remembering to do everything for the sake of
ALLAH swt? Your shehadat is the only thing that can save you, not
doctors, not 911. If you are a believer, every day must be better for
your ahirat.
1431.Muharram.15
(January
1,
2010)
Jummah Khutba: Following Unbelievers Threatens Faith
Muslims and Muslim countries are celebrating the fake new year, instead
of the Islamic new year that began with Muharram. This is not a faith
that will save you. Holy Prophet (saws) challenged unbelievers to curse
the insincere ones. They refused. But some Muslim leaders are
preferring unbelievers. Shaky faith will make you to become like them
if you follow their practices.
1431.Muharram.14
(December

2009)
Disabled May Intercede for Able-Bodied
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
with what they want. Also, the ones who could not run around will
intercede for able-bodied sinners.

Ashura
(December
26,
2009) Pride and Servanthood
Without the help of the Lord, we cannot even take another breath. What
is the reason to be proud? Running after dunya, are you one
of the 150,000 who will not see tomorrow? All Prophets called people to
worship ALLAH swt, to obey His orders, and to be His servant.
Hazreti Isa (as) and Sayidinna Mehdi (as) will come with the same
message. Fill the heart with nur, through the power of zikir, to be
ready for their arrival.
1431.Muharrem.08
(December
25,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: 10th of Muharrem
So many events happened 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.
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).
1431.Muharram.01
(December

Jummah Khutba: Characteristics of a Believer.mp3
A believer is a good person, taking care of what is for him. Today must
be better than yesterday. Aim for ahirat by pleasing ALLAH (for
example, by fasting) to be able to carry life's burdens. shaytan is
always whispering, driving people crazy with doubt. Don't judge others.
Keep the holy days of Muharrem special. Your life style shows the
health of your shehada.
1430.ZulHijja.22
(December
11,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Be a Thankful Servant
Holy month of Muharram is entering. Year 1430 is ending. Follow
someone, and become a thankful servant. Be thankful even for
your body, before it fails and Azrael comes. Ask forgiveness. Change to
do better. Sit and meditate, think about what you are
doing and why. You are accountable for the intention behind your deeds.
1430.ZulHijja.15
(December
4,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Disobedience and Obedience
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.
1430.ZulHijja.14
(December
3,
2009)
Patience Under Test
Try to understand what is beyond the grave, and be sincere about what
you bringing there. If you are not sincere with
yourself, you cannot hide it. Stop complaining; this means you are
happy with your Lord. After hardship comes ease, then hardship
again. ALLAH swt puts everyone under test. Be patient with the tests.
It is easier when you are living for the sake of ALLAH.
1430.ZulQada.25
(November
13,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Run Toward Prophet, saws
Make sure you are going out from this world with your shehada. There is
only one religion in the Presence of the Creator.
You must believe in ALLAH swt, and in His Holy Prophet saws. Don't run
after dunya. If you run toward Holy Prophet,
he will take you to ALLAH. Then dunya will run after you.
1430.DhulQada.18
(November

Jummah Khutba: Are You Ready for Azrael?
We came from ALLAH cc, and we will return to Him. No one is going to
escape. Is it today? Did you discover the reason for your
creation? What did you put in your book for ahirat? Understand what
Seyh Mevlana means by ordering murids not to be out after maghrib.
1430.DhulQada.12
(October
31,
2009)
Be with Saliheen
Be with salihin. Follow the ones who follow sunnah of Holy Prophet
(saws) and his companions.
They will lead you on the siratul mustakim to ALLAH swt.
1430.DhulQada.11
(October
30,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Islam is Not Subject to Your Ideas
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 for the true Islam.
1430.DhulQada.10
(October
29,
2009)
Clean Up Your Animal Characteristics
Once you get rid of your animal characteristics, you will be able to
reach what ALLAH swt has prepared for you. It requires
submission to the Creator, and cleaning yourself of the animal
characteristics. The rats who support dejjal and shaytan are
bringing the dirtiness from the sewers and attacking the awliya.

Prophet of End Times
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.

Secrets of Zikir
This was the second sohbet on the evening of Mevlid for Seyh Abdul

Seyh Efendi is saying to always have wudu. Then, put everything aside
to attain the stations that zikir brings..

(October

Haji Fuat - Servant of Allah
This sohbet was on the evening of Mevlid for Seyh Abdul Kerim Efendi's
father - Haji Fuat Rabbani (kas).
A person may have on of two titles: Servant of the Lord, or slave to
shaytan, lover of dunya, slave to ego. There is
no assurance to anyone of reaching Paradise. Whatever is inside you,
will appear on your outside.
1431.JumadThani.16
(May

Why are You Not Happy?
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.
1430.DhulQada.04
(October

Jummah Khutba: Beware of Siding with dajjal
A believer waits, watches, and tries to understand. He doesn't fool
people and he doesn't get fooled. Everyone is waiting for the
last takbir from Sayiddina Mehdi (as). Don't interfere with things that
are not for you. Confusion is going to start from within
Islam. Your faith will help you to respond to attacks, and to stay on
the side of Mehdi (as), not to fall to the side of dajjal.
1430.Shawal.27
(October
16,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Your Ego is Your Enemy
Do not 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.
1430.Shawal.13
(October
2,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Obey and Fear ALLAH swt
Obey ALLAH swt and fear ALLAH. A heedless person cannot be doing this;
they are not careful of where they are stepping and what
they are getting into. sheytan is whispering, leading heedless ones to
jehennem. Obey ALLAH and follow a guide - not sheytan.
1430-Ramazan-04
(September

Finish Anger
Someone asked how to know what parts of the ego to fix. Sheykh Efendi
says to start with the obvious - whatever you notice at the
moment. Once you get the obvious, then the hidden tricks of the ego
will show themselves. First, work to finish anger. It is the
ego declaring its lordship. Anger is a veil that prevents other things
from opening to you. Anger finishes your good deeds.
Swallow it. Any word you say when angry adds fuel to the fire.
1430.Ramadan.08
(August
28,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Clean Your Ego During Ramazan
During Ramadan, shaytan is in chains. So you cannot blame it for your
wrong doings. It is the ego declaring itself. Look
carefully at your intention before taking action or speaking. Tarikat
teaches you to rise from the lower self to higher stations.
1430.Ramazan.06
(August
27,
2009)
Fasting Helps to Learn Patience
Having patience means controlling the ego when something happens that
you want to react to. Fasting helps you to learn to control
yourself - not to be in control of another person or whatever is around
you. When you have control, spiritual experiences open for you.
1430.Ramazan.01
(August
21,
2009)
The Rewards of Fasting Ramadan are Hidden
Ramadan is the month of rahmet and mercy for the believers who take it
seriously, trying to come closer to ALLAH swt. This is
the month of patience - to have authority on yourself and to show
compassion to the ones you have authority over. The worst
confusion is going to come out from the imams and the shaikhs in the
hutbe place - calling people toward dunya. Prophet saws
said that for your good deeds during Ramazan, the rewards are
multiplying. Fast from all haram and your bad habits.
1430.Shaban.24
(August

Jummah Khutba: Blessing and Mercy Living in Ahir
Zaman (End Times)
We are the nation of ahir zaman (end times). Muslims must be strange
among the rest of the world. Confusion will come from the
scholars to the people. They will leave the sunnah of Holy Prophet
(saws) and his sahabbi kiram. We are very blessed to live in
this time as followers of Sheykh Mevlana Hazretleri. We will make
intention to do more worship and readings and zikir during Ramazan.
1430.Rajab.25

Jummah Khutba: Power Coming with Holy Nights
The honor of an obedient servant keeps going higher, and he becomes
beloved to ALLAH swt. The year in which Leylatul Miraj occurred
was most difficult for Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him,
when he was very lonely, and when he was required to declare
prophethood. That night ALLAH swt showed Prophet everything He had
created; He comforted him and let him know that He was not alone.
Then Prophet continued his work, along with the sahabis, who gave their
lives.
We need these holy nights to gather power to continue on the path of
servanthood, to remember to avoid running after dunya, to
live as Muslims, and to raise our children properly.

Islam is a Lifestyle
Islam is a complete lifestyle. But Muslims have come under the control
of zionists who are selling a different lifestyle.
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.
1430.Rajab.12
(July

2009)
Obedient Servants Please ALLAH swt
People became slave to their ego, to their desires, to shaytan, and to
this 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.
1430.Rejab.11

Jummah Khutba: Safety is in Islam
Safety is in fitting ourselves to the Islam the way that ALLAH swt gave
it to us. Prophets have been calling people for
generations to the correct way. Story of Prophet Nuh aleyhselam. Holy
Prophet Muhammad saws said that protection is with
Ahl ulBeyt. Stay around them to be safe in the flood of fire that is
coming. People are being selective about the parts of
shariat they will accept. They have not reached mature faith where they
can accept what ALLAH swt ordered, even though
their ego doesn't like it.
1430.Receb.04
(June
25,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Remove Arrogance from Heart
The month of Receb is the month of ALLAH swt. This month reminds us to
obey ALLAH swt and to fear Him. Story of the arrogance
of Nemrut in the face of Prophet Ibrahim a.s., and his defeat by the
mosquito. Many nemruts today declare war on ALLAH swt
by disobeying him. Realize that you are the weakest servant, ask for
forgiveness and acceptance. Ask to have arrogance
removed from your heart.
1430.JumadThani.25
(June
19,
2009)
Earthly Power is Temporary
Holy Prophet Muhammad (saws) gave the secret of tarikat, and everything
that was in his heart, to Abu Bakr Siddik (ra) while
they were together in the cave outside Makka. Later Prophet (saws) gave
the secret of La illaha Il ALLAH to Sayiddina Ali (ra).
All 40 tarikats came from these two sahaba. ALLAH swt does not like
arrogant display of power. Physical power must be used
correctly. A man of vision is not afraid of earthly power. It is only
temporary.
1430.JumadThani.25
(June
19,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Awareness in Prayer
Today people are not even remembering ALLAH swt when they are in sejde.
They are preoccupied with love of the world (dunya) -
car, bank account, children, whatever. People fear death. But if you
put love of ahirat in your heart, you have no worries.
Be aware of the state you are in when making salat, that ALLAH swt is
watching you, and that Azrael (Angel of Death) is very near.
1430.JumadThani.24
(June
18,
2009)
Prophetic Knowledge is Not in Computers
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. shaitan 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.
1430.JumadThani.11
(June
5,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Fear and Obey ALLAH swt
Be obedient to the ones who give you news from ahirat. Have fear from
ALLAH swt. Live as ALLAH and His Prophet want -
not as your ego wants. Holy Prophet saws said that ALLAH swt is going
to lift the haybet from Muslims, so their enemies
will finish them - because they fell in love with dunya and came to
hate death.
1430.JumadThani.06
(May
30,
2009)
Live and Die as a Believer
Leaving your responsibilities brings more problems to your life. ALLAH
swt sends His help to the ones who are trying to
do good. Don't concern yourself with other people's actions. Be
concerned with living and dying as a believer. Live with
the things that you dislike. Learn to be a servant.
1430.Jumad
alThani.05
(May
29,
2009) A Creature May Beg
The good manner of a servant is to ask with humility. The more you
understand the greatness of ALLAH swt
and your own weakness, the more you will humble yourself, to beg.
1430.Jumadal
alThani.05
(May
29,
2009) Correct Your Mistakes
Take one fault at a time and try to correct it. ALLAH swt, His Holy
Prophet pbuh, and the awliya are watching you. They
are watching to see if you correct your mistakes. Make rabita every day
to understand what you are doing wrong in their
eyes. What are you doing and what was your intention? Make tauba and
ask for their help. Then try to not do
those things, and to become a better servant. Every day the believer
must progress. Then the veils of the heart begin to open.
1430.JumadThani.05
(May
29,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Invitation to Paradise
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).
1430.JumadThani.03
(May
28,
2009)
Road to Ahirat
Blessing is coming through association and sohbet. Education in schools
teaches about world. Holy associations teach about
ahirat (life hereafter) and the road back to Paradise. The holy ones
follow the example of Holy Prophet saws. They show the way
back through Islam and the lifestyle of Holy Prophet aleyh as-salatu wa
selam. Sayiddina Mehdi aleyhi selam and Hazreti Isa
aleyhi selam are coming - so is dajjal (anti-christ). Hold on to your
sheikh.
1430-JumadaAwal-20
(May
15,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Be One of the Good Ones
Be with good ones. Don't take titles for yourself; the good ones will
give you title of 'servant'. Keep your tongue. Say only
good things. Once shaitan was a good one, but he was proud of himself.
He forgot he was a servant. Become one of the good ones
to be ready for going out from this world.
1430.JumadaAwal.19
(May
14,
2009)
Dunya Must Follow You; Don't Run After It
Are you a tool for ahl ul-Haq or a tool for shaitan? Running after
dunya is like running after your shadow - you never catch it.
Run to Holy Prophet pbuh and let dunya run after you. Do not make
confusion.
1430.JumadAwal.13
(May
8,
2009)
Live Islamically
When you accept Islam, it is necessary to replace all the habits that
do not fit Islam. You must learn to live in the way of Islam.
1430.JumadaAwal.13
(May
8,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Obey ALLAH swt and His Prophet saws for
Safety in Ahirat
The original order is faith - believe in ALLAH swt and believe in
ahirat. Prophets were sent to show people how to have safety
in the next life. People are forgetting that they will die. They must
follow the orders of the prophets. We are blessed with
being the Nation of Muhammad pbuh and with having given shehada. But if
you are not holding to the order of ALLAH and His Prophet,
your safety in ahirat is in question. Fix yourself - for your safety,
follow the Shaykh, not your ego and shaytan.
1430.JumadAwal.12
(May

2009)
Being with Salihin is Rahmat
Being with Salihin (righteous people) means obeying them, even if you
are not physically present with them.
They are a rahmat to you (a mercy in this world).
1430.RabiThani.28
(April
24,
2009)
Tasbih and Heart Matters
Tasbih (beads) is a tool for keeping up zikir (remembrance of Allah).
Wahabbis claim many Islamic practices to be bida
(innovation). They prefer that you remember dunya, rather than to
remember ALLAH cc with a tasbih. Also, people are not happy.
Appreciation is part of faith. Listening to shaytan's whispers makes
people unhappy.
1430.RabiThani.28
(April
24,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Follow the Sunnah of Holy Prophet (pbuh)
Holy Prophet (saws) said in the last hutbe that he was leaving the Book
of ALLAH swt and his own sunnah. shaytan orders people
to leave the sunnah - and they do. Then they are easily led here and
there, attracted by wrong things. When you drop the sunnah,
you replace it with bidat (innovation). Wahabbis sink into bidat
because they replace the traditions and lifestyle of
Holy Prophet with customs of the crusaders. ALLAH cc said to follow
your rightly guided leaders. They will guide you.
1430.RabiThani.21
(April
17,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Backbiting
Thinking wrong and imaginination can put you into the wrong area. Maybe
it will lead you to backbiting or slander. Many
unbelievers mind their own business; but many believers are busy making
fitna. Remember why you are here - to worship ALLAH swt,
not to support your ego. Look at how you are living your own life to
see if it is correct.
1430.RabiThani.14
(April
10,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Do Not Complain
The duty of a servant is to hear and obey, to follow the Prophet
(saws), and to follow and obey awliya. Don't complain. ALLAH swt
burdens people with no more than they can carry. shaytan whispers to
make you complain about work. Submit to the work. It is
from ALLAH. Tyranny is when you go against what ALLAH put on you. Yunus
(as) ran away from his work, and then realized it.
1430.RabiThani.7
(April
3,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Intelligence Should be Growing
Divine blessing is not with the arrogant and ignorant. Prophets always
came when the world had sunk to ignorance. Prophets led
to safety those ones who put their egos aside and stopped their wrong
behavior. Prophets and Awliya remind us why we are here -
to achieve the title of 'servant'. Too many people are covering the
voice of the heart. Intelligence and vision should be growing if
you are running after ahirat (afterlife) instead of dunya (the world).
1430.RabiThani.6
(April

2009)
How to Make Loud Zikir
Sheykh Abdul Kerim Efendi interrupted the Thursday night zikir to
speak. He said to turn inward, concentrate,
and give yourself over to making loud zikir. Something may open to you.
1430.RabiAwal.30
(March
27,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Everyone Must Return to Allah
No matter where you go, you must still return to ALLAH swt. People left
their Guide and are running after emptiness. Or
they are running to change the world. Either way you go, at the time of
the last breath, the veil is removed and you understand
your mistakes. But it's too late then. Ask for forgiveness while you
still have a chance in your life, correct yourself, and
you will be forgiven. Be patient. Wait for what Holy Prophet pbuh said
is going to happen.
1430.RabiAwal.29
(March
26,
2009)
Do Not Complain!
We are blessed with the shehada, and with Kuran, sejde, and being able
to make wudu. We should be thankful servants while we
are living, not showing that we are unhappy with ALLAH swt by
complaining. Everything that happens is from Him. Compare the
luxury of our life with the simple life of Holy Prophet pbuh. If you
are a good servant, the favors of ALLAH swt will reach to you.
1430.RabiAwal.23
(March
20,
2009)
Consult with Sheikh and Submit
Heedlessness makes people unaware of what is happening to them
spiritually as they go through their daily life. Submission
to what the sheikh tells you is like insurance. It gives protection and
safety, but you have to fulfill the conditions of the
contract. Consult with the sheikh always for travel, marriage, and
divorce. Disobedience destroys the palace your good works
are building in paradise.
1430.RabiAwal.23
(March
20,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Follow an Imam
If you love ALLAH swt, you must obey His Prophet peace and blessings be
upon him, and your imam. You must find the imam
who will lead you to ahirat (eternal life), by teaching you to be a
servant of ALLAH. The knowledge you need for Judgment Day
is not in diplomas and successful jobs and following your ego. Follow
an imam who will lead you on the right road to safety.
The imam is accountable for speaking the truth..
1430.RabiAwal.16
(March
13,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Concentrate on Ahirat (eternal life)
Seculars are telling people not to even think of ALLAH, to see
everything as coming from nature. But the main reason of
our creation is to know and worship ALLAH. He sent prophets to teach us
this. People are still running after dunya and
their desires, forgetting ALLAH and eternal life, leaving the orders of
His prophets and the saliheen. ALLAH has plans for
you that would make you happy if you submitted. Concentrate on ahirat,
not dunya.
1430.RabiAwal.10
(March
6,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Follow and Honor Holy Prophet saws
Holy Prophet saws was sent to fix the mess the whole world was in.
Muslims are today still in trouble because they should be on
the straight road; but they left the way of ALLAH swt and His Prophet.
They are chained by ego, shaitan, desire, and the
world. There is no safety or peace in dunya or ahirat if not following
Prophet's lifestyle. Still, ALLAH's Mercy reaches
to Muslims if they honor the holy days, especially the birthday of
Prophet saws.
1430.Safar.03
(January
31,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Tests Come from ALLAH swt
Safety and mercy came to Muslims and everyone when the Khalifa of ALLAH
was standing and representing ALLAH cc in the world.
Now there is no happiness, because the beloveds of ALLAH have moved
into hiding. Now people do not know what is good for them,
running away from Islam when there is a test for them. Obey your leader
fully. Keep awareness of ahirat (afterlife), and build it here.
Sayiddina Umar (ra) kept the balance among the people with his
authority. Thank ALLAH for the tests.
1430.Muharram.26
(January
23,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: No Safety to Tyrants
Don't be a tyrant. Don't do to others what you don't want for yourself.
Serve ALLAH swt and be good to His creation.
1430.Muharram.18
(January
15,
2009)
Correct Your Mistakes
On Judgment Day, all our actions will be opened. But while in this
life, there is no need to disclose your wrong doings.
ALLAH is Satar. Ask Him to cover your mistakes, ask forgiveness, and
make strong intention to do better. Work on it. On Judgment
Day, your bad actions may be changed for good actions. Believers are
witnesses to each other, and may warn each other. Accept
the correct warning. A believer should not be bitten from the same
snake hole twice. Pray and be patient.
1430.Muharram.19
(January
16,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Fear ALLAH swt
Fear of your Lord will make you think before you act: "Am I doing this
for the sake of ALLAH?". Need to balance fear and hope.
Obeying ALLAH cc is obeying His Prophet saws and following your imam.
1430.Muharram.12
(January
9,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: Believe in Ahirat
Obey and fear ALLAH swt. Believe in ahirat life (hereafter). Belief
must make your life easier. Don't take loans, because you become a
slave to
paying them off, worried mostly about dunya, and part-time concerned
with ahirat. Will you go out from the door of Rahmat or curses? Reflect
on
your life daily. Understand who you are and what you have to do in this
life. Muslims are slaves to Yahudi masters, but walking in the streets
to
protest their actions. Help is only from ALLAH swt.
1430.Muharram.05
(January
2,
2009)
Jummah Khutba: What is in Your Heart? - Ego or Faith?
The biggest war, the continuous war, is with your ego. You cannot be a
servant of ALLAH if serving the ego. The tricks and traps of ego come
in their
own way at every age. Find someone who can help you recognize how your
ego will fool you. When following ego, faith is not in your heart.
Example of
Yazid, who was under the influence of his own ego when he murdered
Hazreti Husain ra.
1430.Muharram.01
(December
29,
2008)
Last Part of One Day and a Half
People are running toward the kingdom of sheytan to build his kingdom
by not obeying the ones in authority. We are in the last part of the
one and a half 'days' that Holy Prophet saws said was left. Are you
separating the whispering of sheytan from the voice of awliya coming to
the
heart? Remember that Azrael is near and forget the long term plans for
your life. Prepare your ahirat (afterlife). Dunya (world) is finished.
Be
sincere with yourself. Working against your ego is working against
sheytan.
1429.ZulHijja.27
(December
26,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Keep Your Promise to ALLAH swt
The most important promise to keep is the one made to our Creator - to
worship Him. No matter your rank or diploma, if you don't
keep that promise, you are lost. If you are an unknown slave - like
Bilal al-Habashi ra - and you keep that promise, you win. Following
Holy Prophet Muhammad saws and keeping his orders makes it easy to keep
that promise by holding onto your faith. If not, the spirit is in
prison. You are not standing under the rain of Rahmat. Safety is in
sejde.
1429.ZulHijja.20
(December
19,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Obey ALLAH cc and His Prophet saws
Commit sin as much as you can bear the fire. When you are asking
forgiveness, ALLAH swt sends His mercy. He wants only obedient servants
in
return. Evaluate your life every day. Tomorrow must be better, if you
are obeying the orders of ALLAH and His Prophet saws.
1429.DhulHujja.14
(December
12,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Shehada Means Love of Ahirat
Shehada reminds us of ahirat because we are witnessing to Holy Prophet,
saws, who is bringing the message to turn from the love
of dunya to love of ahirat. The shehadat must give direction to your
life. Evaluate your life to find if the love of ahirat is in
your heart. If not - why not? Life continues to its end. Try to grow
that love before it's too late. Make the shehada more than words in
your life.
1429.DhulHijja.07
(December
5,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Hajj Intention
Since the time of Adam (as), when his son Kabil (Cain) committed the
worst sins, ALLAH swt has been sending prophets to put people
back on the road. Holy Prophet saws was sent as the Seal of Prophets
who brought the formula for everyone: five pillars of Islam.
On Hajj, most important to throw your anger, stubbornness and jealousy
back to shaytan. The Mercy of ALLAH has reached to us through
shehada. Our business is to know and worship ALLAH swt. Make intention
for Hajj a priority.
1429.DhulQidah.29
(November
28,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Do Righteous Deeds
Keep your promise to your Lord by doing righteous deeds for His sake
only. The reason of creation is only to know ALLAH swt
and to worship ALLAH. Therefore, as long as you are in this world, you
must keep the orders of ALLAH swt high priority.
1429.DhulQidah.28
(November
27,
2008)
Take Order from Your Master
Aim of existence is to know your Lord and to worship Him. To know your
Lord, you must know yourself. shaytan thought he knew best.
But above every knower is a knower. The servant must take order from
that one who is your master.
1429.DhulQidah.17
(November
15,
2008)
Knowledge Through the Heart
Some people have knowledge, but they are ignorant about it, because
they listen only to themselves, to their ego. They refuse to
seek the teachers who can give the hidden knowledge. Story of Musa (as)
traveling with Hazreti Khidr. Prophet Muhammad saws is
the Sultan of hidden knowledge. He is living.
Elderly
People
Who
are
Living in the Way of ALLAH swt
Some elderly people are so alive and still able to work in the world
because they are working for the sake of ALLAH swt. Others
are still running after dunya, and are expired while they are still in
this world. Reminder - the Angel of death is coming.
Story of Sheykh Efendi's mother. Patience in the first moment of test,
not after you get used to it. Zakat.
1429.DhulQadah.03
(November
1,
2008)
Association Required for Islamic Life
Association is necessary for Islamic lifestyle. Too much work, TV,
internet, and other distractions take people out of Islamic
lifestyle and practices. You are not showing value to your shehada.
Knowledge of Islam comes with tarikat and Sheykh.
Awliya do not make confusion. Holy Prophet (saws) said to watch your
tongue, and the inheritors of Abu Bakr Siddiq (ra) know this perfectly.
1429.ZulQadah.02
(October

Jummah
Khutba: Send Your Rizik (Provisions) Ahead
Prepare your place in Paradise by sending the reward of your good deeds
ahead of you. Think about your intention for everything
you are doing and saying. Make everything for the sake of ALLAH swt.
Then it will be right.
1429.Shawal.25
(October
24,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Watch Your Lifestyle
Make the zikir of Astaghfirullah for every bad word that you speak.
Modesty comes with faith. But Sayiddina Gibril (as) took it from the
world. People forgetting their promise to their Lord - to live for
worshipping Him. Having inherited a corrupt lifestyle, does not
excuse giving up the responsibility of that promise. Everything will be
counted on Judgement Day.
1429.Shawal.18
(October
17,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Acceptance of Will of ALLAH swt
Accept what ALLAH has put in front of you. To want certain conditions
in dunya is to be under control of ego and sheytan.
The test is easy with the love of Holy Prophet saws.
1429.Shawwal.11

Rebelliousness

Jummah Khutba: Control the Ego
The reason for our creation is only to know ALLAH and to worship ALLAH
swt. To gain control over the ego, it is farz (obligatory)
to obey one who is appointed by ALLAH and His Prophet. Put the Truth
into your life. Have patience. Hold your tongue.
1429.Shawal.01

How shaytan Fooled Hawa
Question: How was shaytan able to fool Adam (as) and Hawa?
Intelligent people push themselves and use more of their brainpower
than most. But even if you use 100% of your brain
capacity, that intelligence is only for this world. Intelligence, or
fighting the ego, may bring you to the gates of
Paradise. But only faith according to the laws of ALLAH swt allows
entrance into Paradise. shaytan with all his knowledge
could not enter Paradise. He fooled the snake, who loved Hawa, to trick
her to sin. shaytan came through friendship,
not through something disliked.

Eid al-Fitr Hutbe: Believers Must Come Together
1429.Ramazan.26
(September
26,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Closing Ramadan
Be sad for yourself if you did not obey the orders of ALLAH swt by
keeping the Ramazan correctly. When we use our free will to obey,
we can say we are listening to our Lord, not to our ego. The nation of
Muhammad saws has a short lifespan to spend in worship.
ALLAH swt gave laylat ul-Kadir ('night of Power') for Muslims to
receive benefts of a lifetime of worship. But people must think
about what matters - are you a better person today than yesterday?
Become an obedient servant.
1429.Ramazan.25
(September

Appreciate Shehada While You Still Have a Chance
People of the grave are wishing they could have one more breath of life
to say "La illaha il ALLAH" just once. But it is too late to
appreciate something precious like shehada after it is already lost.
Instead, people are complaining, showing they are unhappy with
what ALLAH swt has provided. People are suffering from following
unbelievers' lifestyle. Think!
1429.Ramadan.19
(September
19,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: World is a Temporary Stopping Place
ALLAH cc honored us with being of the nation of Muhammad saws. How are
we carrying it? Our time on this earth is only a temporary
stopping place on a journey to eternity. What are we earning for ahirat?
1429.Ramazan.05
(September
5,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Faith, Fasting, and Patience
Believers who are fasting will enter Paradise through any door. Through
fasting, believers can reach to the station of angels. shaitan is in
chains this month. Half of
faith during Ramazan is to have patience, and fasting is half of the
patience. Look to see if you are making progress in purifying yourself,
because this is the
month when ALLAH swt makes it easy.
1429.Shaban.28
(August
30,
2008)
Who is Mumin? Who is kafir?
Who is a believer (mumin) and who is an unbeliever (kafir)? This world,
your life, is a test. The results are what you are building
for yourself in ahirat. Mumins must submit themselves to the Will of
ALLAH swt and His Prophet. How? By submitting to the one in
front of you. He is the one who administers the test.
Sheykh Efendi tells the story Ibn Salime. He also speaks about the
obligations of fasting in Ramadan.

Jummah Khutba: Anger Swallows All Good Deeds; Get Rid
of Anger
1429.Shaban.19
(August
21,
2008)
Knowledge Comes Through Loving ALLAH swt
Religion is advice coming from the Prophets. Today's knowledge
everywhere blinds people to ahirat knowledge - even when they are
elderly and ready to leave this world. Fear of ALLAH swt in youth must
bring love of ALLAH swt when you are older, which then
opens the heart channel to the Creator. It is protected by zikir. Then
the door is open to all knowledge from which you can see what is good
for you.

Jummah Khutba: Work for Ahirat
We are reaching to the last days. Be obedient to the orders of ALLAH
swt. Keep your salat. Only firauns (pharoahs) are not making
sejde (prostration) to ALLAH swt. Do the work of ahirat. You will get
the rewards of dunya and ahirat.
1429.Shaban.13
(August
14,
2008)
Prepare for Night of Berat
People lose their faith easily because attacks are coming from every
side. You need to learn how to live from someone who tells you what to
do
and what not to do according to the laws of ALLAH swt. Show generosity
in faith. Running for dunya is not a good role model.
1429.Shaban.07
(August
8,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Obey Holy Prophet saws and Your Leaders
If you don't listen to advice from the people of ahirat, you lose both
dunya and ahirat. What Prophet saws taught in those days is
fresh and new for all time. Munafiks (hypocrites) and kafir
(unbelievers) don't accept. But everyone knew him as the most
trustworthy one. Accept everything he said, and try to follow him, not
follow the unbelievers..
Ask forgiveness for when you fail to keep up with his orders.
1429.Shaban.06
(August
7,
2008)
Hold Faith in End Times
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. Those things will
lead you away from Islam.
1429.Shaban.01
(August

2008)
Sayiddina Mehdi (as) is Coming!
If you are not following guide, you are worshipping your ego. This is
the time of ignorance. Tyrant governments know that when Haq is
coming, batil is going to disappear. They are afraid of the power of
the Sheykhs, who guide people to their true aim - to know
and to worship ALLAH swt. Khalifa is coming to hand Holy Prophet's
belongings to Sayiddina Mehdi (as).
1429.Rajab.29
(August

Jummah Khutba: Night of Berat
The night of Berat (15 Shaban) is coming - one of the holiest nights of
the year. Will you pass the test
for your activities and intention since last year?
1429.Rajab.29
Association
After
Jummah:
Teach Children to Respect and Obey
Giving everything to your children does not help them. They need
discipline and guidance. They need to know that their parents are
firm and that they (the children) can depend on them. Otherwise,
children who are spoiled and who have no limits are growing up with
the knowledge and burden of the world, growing up too fast and turning
to beat up the parents later, or to destroy themselves.
1429.Rajab.23
(July
25,
2008)
Answers to Questions
Sheykh Abdul Kerim Efendi is answering questions after Jummah salat. He
says the servant keeps trying to do better - to please the
Lord; and the Lord is happy with the servant for trying, and for asking
forgiveness. And he says there is no authority to correct
other people unless you have fixed yourself. Then, you must speak
nicely to get the point across.
1429.Rajab.23
(July
25,
2008)
Work Toward Ahirat, Dunya Will Follow
Hereafter life (ahirat) is eternal. Compared to that, this life (dunya)
is so short. Holy Prophet saws says to work for dunya in
proportion to how long you will spend here. Concentrate on working for
ahirat.
1429.Rajab.23
(July
25,
2008)
Jummah_Khutba: The Gift of Prayer
How can you be in trouble, if you have shahada? - because people are
leaving the salat (formal worship), which breaks the connection
with your Lord. Night of Miraj, when Holy Prophet saws traveled through
the Paradises, is when ALLAH swt gave the gift of salat to
the nation of Muhammad saws. But people are too busy and not making
sejde (prostration). Asking foregiveness sincerely before going out
from this
world, ALLAH swt will forgive.
1429.Rajab.15
(July
18,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Learn About Yourself
For what were you created? - not freedom. Your Creator has authority on
you. The proof is that your life will end. Watch the
role models He left in this world. Peace and happiness only come when
you are with your Lord. Prophets are the role models to
learn from, not the governments based on man-made laws that are behind
today's education. Curriculum is based on the theories of
Darwin and useless research, not on the reality that Prophets taught
and learning about yourself. Meditate and look inside.
When you have a question, find the inheritors of the Prophets to get
the answers.
1429.Rajab.08
(July
11,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Prayer and Patience
Patience matters in the first moments of a test - not after you get
used to the situation. Through patience and prayers,
you can ask for help from ALLAH swt. have patience through the
difficulties of life, while you are longing fpr ahirat (hereafter).
1429.Receb.02
(July
4,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Ask Forgiveness and Prepare for the Test
ALLAH swt is testing people in dunya. But people are running to sewers,
proud, and paying no attention to learning the purpose of
life and preparing for the grave. Intelligence says to be able to pass
the test. Free will gives choice to go right or wrong. ALLAH swt wants
us
to use youthful energy and power to run after His order, not getting
tired from giving into ego. Ask forgiveness to obtain help from ALLAH
swt.
1429.Receb.01
(July
3,
2008)
Holy Month of Rajab Enters
Believers have to be ready for these holy months. Giving proper respect
to the month of Receb (Rejab) - the month of ALLAH swt
- provides protection through the year. Receb is traditionally a month
for deepening spiritual understanding.
1429.Jumad
al-Thani.23
(June
27,
2008) Jummah Khutba: Nights of Forgiveness in
Coming Holy Months
ALLAH swt is ready to forgive His servants. He has provided special
nights during the months of Rajab, Shaban, and Ramazan
for us to ask for forgiveness - if only we show respect to these months
and these nights. Problems that seem to interfere with paying attention
during those months comes from us breaking our promise, and dropping
sincerity. shaytan is in chains, so try to do better every day to
control the ego.
1429.JumadThani.16
(June
20,
2008)
Ego, shaytan, and Intelligence
shaytan whispers to your ego, supporting the desires. Use the
Intelligence and your free will to control the ego. Consult,
listen to the sohbets, to build your intelligence so it does not fall
into the hand of the ego. The Shaykh trains you against the
tricks and traps of ego, bringing you clean to the presence of Holy
Prophet saws.
1429.JumadThani.16
(June
20,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Learn About Ahirat
Education is fard in Islam for everyone, but turn your attention away
from dunya to learn about ahirat
(hereafter life). Don't challenge death when you are not ready for it.
1429.JumadThani.15 (June 19, 2008) Look at Yourself; Don't Attack Others
Ego becomes strong by feeling good that we do what Allah swt ordered us
to do; but we ignore that we also do what He ordered
us NOT to do. Discomfort comes from living according to non-Muslim
lifestyle and not living according to teachings of
Holy Prophet saws. Allah swt says "Be with Saliheen" (righteous
people). Consult with holy people. Above every knower there is
another knower. But people think they are the top; and they attack
others with all the wrong thoughts shaytan floats through their mind.
1429.JumadThani.2
(June
6,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Who Does ALLAH swt Love?
We are living in exile on earth. ALLAH swt sent Prophets, Guides, and
Books, and gave us intelligence to remind us of our
purpose. Still running after dunya. ALLAH loves best the one who makes
jihad with his body and his wealth. Second, He loves the one who lives
apart and spends his time in worship. But even the ones who try these
actions are still fooled by dunya and the ego to break their promise..
1429.JumadAwal.25
(May
31,
2008)
Shahada Guides You to Do Right
Do not be fooled by the appearance of calm and normalcy in dunya. This
is the end times. You must act on what is right,
knowing it through your heart by your shahadat. Shahada gives benefit
to you if you are aware, and not heedless. Faith cannot
exist in the heart along with sin. Great danger if the Angel of Death
comes at that time.
1429.JumadAwal.24
(May
30,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Live What You Believe
Muslims are not living what they believe, and will not leave correct
Islam to their children. Faith is not moving people.
Istanbul will be conquered again, but not by heedless, dreaming people.
Check yourself. Live for the sake of Allah, for Islam.
1429.JumadAwal.23
(May
29,
2008)
Are You a Good Person?
Holy Prophet Muhammad saws left us with the Good Manner. What are you
bringing to the association and what are you leaving?
Can the people say about you, "He was a good person."? Are you also
getting better?

Jummah Khutba: We are Servants of ALLAH
swt
ALLAH swt sent Prophets to mankind throughout history to remind them
that they are His servants, not slaves of dunya. Living the
shehadat and making proper rabita to discover the purpose and value of
your life is enough to find peace in life. Be thankful.
1429.JumadAwal.16
(May

Love is From Allah swt
Love comes from ALLAH swt. People need love; but so many are separated
from Love - no feeling.
If you are experiencing the love of ALLAH swt, you must give it out to
others.

Jummah Khutba: Read Kuran
For safety and for inner peace, read more Quran; keep your wird, and
read hadith. Don't speak so much of what you think you know.
1429.JumadAwal.04
(May
10,

Patience of High Stations
Being in high station means that you are doing everything for the sake
of ALLAH cc. If you are there, never mind the bad
characteristics of those not showing proper respect and love. Don't
come down to their level by responding with anger. Keep your
distance and show respect and love to all creatures. Don't hold a
grudge. Be patient, especially with the tests from the Shaikh.
1429.JumadAwal.03
(May
9,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Be Happy with What ALLAH swt Has Given
Don't complain. Everything happens with the Will of ALLAH swt. He gave
people three rewards: intelligence, modesty,
and faith. Through intelligence, we understand blessings, and find no
need to complain about the situation ALLAH put us in.
1429.RabiThanil.28
(May

The Purpose of Life
We are only on this earth temporarily, created as humans to know our
Lord and to worship Him. We are learning and being
tested. Pleasure is our reward in eternal life. Understand the meaning
and purpose of your life in order to prepare
for the next life. Run after the Saints (awliya) to show you the way.
1429.RabiThani.04
(April
11,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Obey Allah
Holy Prophet (saws) said to be a jammat (community) and to obey the
laws of ALLAH.
1429-RabiThani-3
(April
10,
2008)
Regardless of Work in Dunya, Primary Intention is for
Ahirat
Make good intention and make Allah swt your priority by making your
prayer on time. Then the other activities of your life will be
rewarded like for worship. You must carry your responsibilities in
dunya. Sheykh Efendi describes how life should be
at the dergah. The analogy is that the wheat is planted for the grain
(ahirat), not for the straw (dunya).
1429.RabiAwal.27
(April
4,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Real Believers Aim for Hereafter Life
(Ahirat), not Dunya (World)
Real believers are interested only in ahirat (hereafter) life; but they
carry their responsibilities in life, working to earn their rizik
(sustenance)
and to help others. But thoughts of suicide are from giving too much
value to dunya. Must follow the Holy Prophet (saws) and renew your
faith.
Then love of ahirat and love of Prophet (saws) enters the heart. Then
you find comfort and peace in dunya.
1429.RabiAwal.20
(March
28,
2008)
Jummah Khutba: Make Salawats on Holy Prophet (saws)
Make selawats on Holy Prophet (saws). Make it fard (obligation) to
yourself to praise him continually, especially during this
holy month of Rabi Awal. Allah swt is happy with His people who praise
Holy Prophet, and He rewards them.
1428.DhulHijja.26
(January

2008)
Jummah Khutba: Honor is in Being Servant Day After Day
Nafs that is pleased with its Lord and when the Lord is pleased with
that nafs ... Prophets taught how to take the
nur from the nar, take the spirit from the fire. How to move from dunya
to ahirat ... Run for the title of 'servant', and make
every day better than the day before. Safety not assured until what
happens at last breath.
1428.DhulHija.19
(December

Jummah Khutba: Emri bil Maruf and Nehyi Anil Munker
Holy Prophet (saws) is saying that his nation will lose its is head.
They will stop ordering for Truth/Hakk (Emri bil maruf), which is farz.
They will no longer try to stop wrong activities (Neyhi anil munker).
Live the way you believe or you will start to believe the way you live.
1428.DhulHija.11
(December
20,
2007)
Be with Saliheen
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.
(Second half of this talk is in Turkish.)
1428.DhulHija.06
(December
15,
2007)
Hold the Reins of Your Ego
Holy Prophet (saws) said "May Allah swt not leave us to the hands of
our ego". Enter into the circle of protection, in the holy association
of one of the Friends of Allah. It is good manner to know our
weaknesses and to hold onto Allah swt. The holy ones came to
teach us how to hold on. Learn from the Master how to tell which side
you ego is coming from and to control it.

Jummah Khutba: First Ten Days of the Month of Hajj
(Pilgrimage)
The knowledge you need is to know your Lord. The first ten days of Dhul
Hijja (month of Pilgrimage - Hajj) are the most important
of the Islamic calendar in terms of what you can gather for the
afterlife. Try to fast and to pray at night.
The way you live is the way you will die is the way you will rise.

Take the Knowledge that is for You
Knowledge cannot be in the same place as arrogance and stubbornness.
Knowledge
brings you to safety in hereafter life. It is necessary
throughout all life. However, you must run after knowledge that is for
you, and avoid knowledge that is forbidden to you.
1428.DhulQida.20
(November

2007)
Jummah Khutba: ALLAH Will Pay You Back
Whatever you plant in this life - good or bad - that is what you will
harvest in the afterlife. Every hour of every day
will be played back to you for accounting. Don't be standing at the
door of complaining. If you are doing for the sake
of ALLAH and you are being taken advantage of, ALLAH swt knows, and He
will pay you back in the hereafter.

Upholding Islam with Your Loved Ones
After Jummah, someone asked a question about the sorrow in life where
one's loved ones do not accept the Islamic
lifestyle and laws. Sheykh Efendi is saying how important it is to hold
to your principles, to enforce the requirements of Islam
in your home and in other areas of life, even when you feel pressure
from family and friends to be lenient.
1428.DhulQida.13
Jummah
Khutba:
Get
Rid of Old Complaints and Resentment
The bad feelings you are carrying toward other people are weighing you
down. They begin to smell like a load of

keep ALLAH swt in your heart for your protection.

(November

Intention and Sincerity
After Jummah, someone asked Seyh Abdul Kerim Efendi what he meant by a
'real sejde' in the khutba.
He responded to the question in terms of one's sincerity and intention
when making that sejde (prostration).
1428.DhulQida.06
Jummah_Khutba:
Keep
the
Promise Made to Allah
ALLAH does not burden us with more than we can carry. What is it He
wants from us?
Keep the promise made on the Day of Promises - to worship Him. Show
awareness and gratitude for the favors He grants every day
by performing at least one sejde every day. Become beloved to Him by
obeying His orders.

Bayram (Eid) Khutba: Everything is Easier when
Following Holy Prophet Muhammad saws
In this sermon (khutba) celebrating the end of Ramadan, Sheykh Efendi
is saying that Muslims must celebrate Eid al-Fitr, even when
it is inconvenient in the society. Eid separates the believers
from the unbelievers. It's a day to make up from arguments with
family.
1428.Ramazan.24
(Oct.
5,
2007)
Jummah Khutba: Keep Ramadan and Honor Leylatul Qadir
(Night of Power)
In this Friday sermon (jummah khutba) Sheykh Efendi is saying that we
are responsible for keeping the fast of Ramadan.
It separates the believers from the unbelievers. Story of the fire
worshiper who went to Paradise for respecting Ramazan. Also,
we must honor Leylatul Qadir (the Night of Power). It carries the
rewards of 80 years of worship. It is proper to look
for its occurrence out of respect for this wonderful gift from ALLAH
swt.
1428.Ramazan.18
Essential
Knowledge
for
Living
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.
1428.Ramazan.17
(September
28,
2007)
Jummah Khutba: Reason for Living is to Know ALLAH
swt and Worship Him
Humans and jinns were created to know and to worship ALLAH swt. If a
person is not doing that, there is no peace.
People are punctual for their business in dunya, but not for the work
of Allah swt. We gave the promise to be in
His service on the Day of Promises. There is not much time left to
become a good servant.
1428.Ramazan.16
(September
27,
2007)
Reason for Living is to Know ALLAH swt and Worship
Him
Sohbet is needed every day. Allah swt is holding your provision and
releases it to you. Shehada is key. The secret
is to protect the faith. The reason for our creation is to know and to
worship Allah swt, not to work for dunya.

Spiritual
Power
is
Superior to Book Knowledge
ALLAH swt sent His holy books through prophets, not in written
form. People concentrated on memorizing. Muslims depend
too much on books, and not on spirituality. Spiritual power and
spiritual connections will help on Judgment Day -
not book knowledge. The khilafat fits Islam, not democracy. In end
times, following sunnah is like carrying hot coal.
1428.Ramazan.3
(September
14,
2007)
Jummah Khutba: Rewards of Fasting and Consequences
if Not
Use patience to control the ego. Learn patience from fasting. The
fasting of Ramadan is rest for believers,
separating them from the unbelievers. Protocol and rewards of fasting.
Consequences of not fasting.
ALLAH swt has communicated His requirements on us for us to have a good
life here and hereafter.
1428.Shaban.26
Following
Sunnah
in
End Times
More people are rising against Islam and the people of Haqq.
Prophet (saws) said that following the sunnah is like
carrying fire in end times. People are forgetting the lifestyle of
Prophet (saws). Need to be able to tell good bidats (innovations)
from bad bidats. Sayiddina Mehdi (as) will bring back the forgotten
sunnahs. But Dajjal is also coming with his own powers.
Meanwhile, Sheytan is fooling good people with illusions and delusions.
Follow your Sheykh.
1428.Shaban.25
Jummah
Khutba:

Keep to Right Road for Peace of Heart
Continue on the right road to have peace of heart in this life. Do
not divert to wrong road. Turn your face to
jennat (paradise). Families may split up as some keep to the right road
and others do not. Invest in ahirat (hereafter) by being
a full-time servant. Keep Islamic holy days. Young people - make sure
you stay right, not following your friends.

Khutba:
Prophets
Taught People How to Live
People should not set themselves apart to be alone. Prophets taught
people how to live. The educated and financially

TV is haram during fasting. Men and women should keep their roles.

Knowledge from Shaykh - Life Dedicated to Him
Credit your Shaikh with the knowledge you acquire and the knowledge
that comes through you for sharing. Firauns (pharaohs, tyrants)
alone in their room with their computers are taking and giving
'knowledge' over the internet, but do not have the nerve to appear
as Muslims in public. Love and obey Holy Prophet, and all the ones who
pass the message after him.

1428.Jumada alAwaal.16 (June 2, 2007) Be Ready for Khidr; also- Source
of Naks-i'bendi Sheykhs' Sincerity
When Khidr(as) comes to grant the wishes of someone, that person
remains occupied with whatever was on his mind at the moment.
Also, Seyh Efendi is telling the story of what happened in the cave
when Holy Prophet Muhammad (saws) was traveling with
Abu Bakr Siddik (ra) from Makka to Madina, relating that to a question
about the sincerity of the Sheykh.

1428.JumadAwal.07
(May

Be an Obedient Servant
Sheytan kept saying, "I know, I know", while going against his
Lord. Ego makes one a rebel to ALLAH swt. Obedience to leaders
is obedience to Prophet (saws) is obedient Allah. Creator's orders come
through the Prophets and awliya. Leader brings you to
higher station. Protection is not in a place. It is in obedience and
acceptance of the orders of ALLAH. Then you become an obedient servant.

Safety in Following Holy Prophet (saws)
Part of faith is to believe that
Holy Prophet (saws) is the seal of prophets - no more to come. Sheytan
is fooling those who follow
only Kuran, and not the sunnah of Holy Prophet (saws). Safety is only
in the way of Holy Prophet (saws).

them. How much are we avoiding working for ahirat by

People know good from bad. First one must believe, accept,

behind that order. Sheykh Efendi tells the story of Akshamsuddin
(meaning 'Light shining from the religion') qas rescuing a forgiven man

and how he fools people to think they are right - not to ask for
forgiveness.
