Allah Almighty - Meded, ya Sayyidi - (is) granting (to) the nation of Muhammad sws to say: 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim'. That is (the) first Command. When Allah Almighty created His Holy Table and created (the) Pen also, and the Pen asking: "O my Lord, what I am going to write?"

And Allah Almighty (was) saying: "Write Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim!"

That is the first writing on (the) Preserved Tablet and His Holy Name that every name, (every) Holy Name of Allah Almighty, (is) coming in it or coming from it and both of them (Ar Rahman, Ar Rahim) belong to (the) endless Oceans of Mercy: Ar Rahman (is) signing (the) Mercy Oceans for Allah Almighty (and) Ar Rahim also (it is) signing (the) endless Mercy Oceans of Allah Almighty. That means: O people - Meded, ya Sultanu-l Awliya - when you are saying 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim', Ar Rahman (is) signing  His Mercy Oceans from pre-eternal, pre-eternal's Mercy Oceans - the Holy Name of Allah, Ar Rahman.

If (not for) that Mercy Oceans, no one (is) coming in existence. Rahmet, Allah Almighty's Mercy Oceans, (are) giving life to (the) whole (of) creation!

Everyone (is) asking from Allah Almighty's Mercy Oceans; even in Hells people (are) asking: "O our Lord, a drop of water!" It is not (ordinary) water (that) they are asking, (but they are) asking (for) a drop of (water from the) Mercy Oceans. If (even) one drop (of Mercy is) dropping on (the) Hells, (the) 8 Hells (are) going to disappear, because Mercy is something else. That (is) giving life to everything. 

But (the) people of Hells they are forbidden to reach even one drop from that Mercy Oceans, therefore (they are) asking: "O our Lord, one drop from Your Mercy Oceans!" That (is) taking away everything, every Azab, suffering, from Hells people. Therefore, they are going to be among life and death. Every time, every moment, (something) from that drop (is) reaching (them) and (it is) coming to them life and then, after it, it is going to be cut off and they are remaining without any, even one drop from (the) endless Mercy Oceans. Therefore they are between death and life. Allah forgives us!

And then, o our listeners, you must think on it, that Allah Almighty granted to you to say: 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim'! That Holy Name, Ar  Rahman, brings on you life. There is life, so terrible! So many people (are) living, but their lives (are) like Hells suffering. Go to hospitals, you should find thousands and thousands (of) people (whom) they are living, but their life (that)  they are living, is not a living that (is) giving to them something. Because that (kind of) life that (is) reaching to servants from that Mercy Oceans, (is) making them to be happy! To take, every moment, every breathing, they are tasting (the) sweet taste of life!

But so many people, millions of people, they are in hospitals; they are saying: "O our Lord, send us one drop from Your endless Mercy Oceans to change our bodies from dead (a) body to (a) living body!" But they are 'mahrum', deprived, they are not given. Everything (is) asking Mercy. And 'Ar Rahim' (is) another Ocean... That Ar Rahman (is) signing (the) endless Mercy Oceans of Allah from pre-eternal and Ar Rahim (is) signing our Lord's endless Mercy Oceans in... up to eternal.

Asking Mercy for Yourself? Ask Mercy for Others Too!

What (is) Allah Almighty asking to teach ourselves? "O people, you are asking, you like Mercy for yourself, but you are not asking (Mercy) for others and therefore, as long as you are not asking (for the) same Mercy to (come to) My creatures, I am preventing My heavenly Mercy from you!" That is a teaching, a very important teaching! To say: 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim' that is tadhkir, reminding, for mankind: "Give Mercy and take Mercy! If you are preventing (the) Mercy that you (are) granted from or for??? others, I am preventing also My eternal Mercy Oceans to reach to you." That is.

Subhanallah! This is a summary of all Holy Books that (the) whole meanings of (the) Holy Books (are) just in (the) Holy Quran and (the) Holy Quran, its meanings, (are) through (the) Opening Sura Fatiha and (it is) its key and unknown endless Life Oceans (are) just brought in 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim'.

He (is) only asking: "O people, I am not preventing My Mercy from you, why you are preventing your mercy from others?" That is (a) punishment that people now they are in hospital, suffering. That is suffering, because you are preventing your mercy from others, then Allah Almighty (is) preventing His endless Mercy Oceans from you. And that is written through all Holy Books, that (have been) granted to Adam, then to Idris, then to Abraham, then to Moses- (the) Old Testament, (the) New Testament- to Jesus Christ... and concluding every Holy Books and Holy Orders in it (is the) Holy Quran.

Therefore (the) Holy Quran (is) beginning (with): Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, by the Name of Allah Almighty, Most Merciful, Most Beneficent, Most Magnificent. This is, I think, it it is well understood, this.

You Must Say "Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim"!

Every time you must say: 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim', by the Name of Allah that His Mercy (is) from pre-eternal up to eternal. Say (it)! And  therefore (the) Prophet was saying: "Who is not using that Holy Names of Allah Almighty, nothing (is) going to give fruit, fruits (are) never coming"! If not reaching that Mercy to (the) fruits or to everything that (the) Children of Adam (are) eating , they (are) never finding any taste from eating anything.

(It) should be a nonsense, (it) should be (a) suffering, if they are eating some fruits, if not that Holy Mercy Oceans' one drop (is) not coming, (because) then you can't taste and you can't, (even) if (you are) tasting (something), you can't use it; never (it is) giving to you anything.

Therefore (the) Prophet (was) urging by Allah Almighty's Order: "O people, if you are asking to eat and drink something, say 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim", because "The secret Power of Life I am doing that through that water." Be merciful (and) everything (is) going to be for you merciful! If you are preventing your mercy from others, then it should be punishment for you, it is going to be cursed food that (is) giving trouble, not giving any benefit. Never getting a person from that fruits tasting, (but) they may say: "Oh, it is so bitter!"  It is so beautiful (food), but he is not saying 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim' and that good taste (is) taken away. The benefit that (is) putting in it Allah Almighty (is) taken away, the secret of life that gives to you life (is) taken away, if (you are) not saying: 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim'!

99% or 100% you may say the reason of countless miseries and illnesses and sicknesses that is the reason.

"Fa dhakkir, o My beloved servant, remind My servants not to forget My Holy Name 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim'!"

(Sheikh Mevlana concludes the Sohbet with a short Dhikr...) Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim...
