LIVE CHAT WITH MAWLANA SHEIKH MEHMED EFFENDI

Post Managed by: Janina Fassbinder, Nittenau, Schwandorf, Germany:

Introduction:
We’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time, thank you very much for giving us this opportunity Sheykh Mehmet, thank you very much all together may we be together in this world and the next inshaAllah.

Sohbat:
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, the state of this world, change constantly, in the end whatever Allah wills and wishing for and say occurs and happens.

Human kind thinks that everything will be the same and forever they would remain the same. Allah has given us intellect and those who use the intellect need to find out the truth, to search for it and work in order to gain the hereafter.

The clever ones, are those who are like the Awliyas the saints, are the ones who do not run after the world but run after Allah and the Hereafter, because that is what is Reality, that is the Truth, what is fake, what is not true is this world.

They come out with all sort of deception and many people following, they go after something new that has come out and you see that people run after, they invest their money, and it comes out that is a deception, they get fooled and they lose all of their money. This is the fault of people themselves, they are greedy, but greed should not be for this world, greed should be for the Hereafter for the Afterlife.

Real happiness is the happiness in the Hereafter and the life with Allah is going to be together with no sadness, no sorrow but just total felicity and happiness, no hardship whatsoever. There is no guarantee in this life, there is no guarantee whatsoever, do you know what is going to happen in the next moment? No, nobody can give you a guarantee, everything can change all of a sudden.

The thing that doesn’t change at all is Allah, He is the Unchangeable, what doesn’t change is Allah, be with Allah. Allah is a great Lord, be a servant and do as He commands. Do not leave Allah for what began, do not leave Allah for this world, those who do that, who leave Allah for this world, have no mind, have no intellect.

We see the state of affairs of this world, there are so many troubles and issues, yet people do not get their acts together, they don’t get their minds together, and they don’t do the right thing.

Whoever is with Allah, will always win, whoever is not with Allah has always loss and they will keep doing. We love you for the sake of Allah and that is how it should be, and thanks to Allah you also love us for the sake of Allah.

Because we in end of times at the moment, the rewards are also huge and great, our gain and reward in the sight of Allah are great. It is said “al-ajr ala qadirin mashaqqa” the reward is as great as the hardship the one goes through. We should not be in awe or anxiety or fear, we should trust in Allah and continue. Allah Azza wa Jalla says : “?” [corruption has started everywhere, in the sea, in the air and on land] and these are normal for these times.

Everything comes from Allah, so what a Muslim should do is have total submission to Allah. These are may be times of hardship and difficulty for Muslims, yet they’re also great opportunities. Most people don’t know about this and it is said “?” Do those who know the Truth knows and those who don’t know don’t know too, they’re not sustained. So we should take opportunity of these hard times and work for it.

As we said this is Love between us and we were reading about and the reward is great in the sight of Allah. As our Holy Prophet SAW states in a Hadith Sharif, there will be in the Day of Judgement people from the right and from the left of the Throne or next to Him, in means of Him of Light, they will be on Throne of Light and even Prophets will wonder who are these people.

The Resurrection place is not an easy place, is very difficult place, we will be waiting there for thousands years to get a chance and, is not going to be easy, is going to be very hard and people are going to be hungry and thirsty. And these people are going to be next to the Throne, and they are not going to be through difficulty, so people would ask who are these people. A call would come that would say: “these are people who loved each other for the sake of Allah”. Those people would have such a station, such a high place that everybody would wish and look after them and wish that they have guarded that station and they were on their place.

[Sounds not clear min 18]

And the Prophet SAW is sending this love, injecting this love in us. “People are with those whom they love”. Thank Allah we got together here and even if it was for a short period of time, we were able to come together and even if it was for short period may we be with each other for Eternity.

Many of our brothers passed away this year, […] Tariq Effendi, […] Effendi, Jalaluddin Effendi, their stations are ready, they left this world with the love of Allah and His Prophet SAW. And when our turn will come we will also go so may Allah make us steadfast, people steady on this path until that time comes. People look at these difficulties and hardships and forget the Reality of Allah, they look for causes other than Allah, and get upset or sad, there’s no need for that.

And our Mashaykhs have spoken about this, last of our Mashaykh, was our Shaykh baba, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, and he also spoke about this End Times and the time of End times, it’s just going to be worse, no vaccination or anything is going to be of any use anymore. Just like dirt and filth came out in the world and in the same way cleanliness, they will be clean, and everything dirt will be taken away and it will be a clean world.

Kufr, unbelief is dirtiness, filth najasa, unclean thing. Islam and Iman are cleanliness, it’s all about being clean and in that sense the whole world inshaAllah will be clean again, everywhere. This will be both in the physical and spiritual plan.

Our brothers and sisters should not worry about what is going to happen to us. They’re sad, don’t be sad, we are with Allah, we’re not sad. May Allah be pleased with you and may He make us reach those beautiful days.

The state of affairs is such today that let everybody stay safe at home, let them focus on Tasbihat and Dhikr and there will be safety for them in sha Allah. May Allah be pleased with you all, may there will be better time that we get together again inshaAllah,

Wa min Allahi Tawfiq
al Fatiha

Sheykh Hassan: “Dastur Ya Mawlana, there is 1 question and is that we are, we cannot see you, we cannot be with you now, so how can we connect to you and serve you so that you’re happy and content with us”

Mawlana: “mashaAllah, you’re on service all time. We’re happy with you, with Khidma, just continue like this inshaAllah. This time must be like this, we’re happy with you, Allah is happy with you inshaAllah.”

Sh. Hassan: “thank you”
Mawlana: “thank you for you”
Sh. Hassan: “Another one was asking: there’s one brother of our Jamaat who says the more he turns to Allah the more he’s tormented by his thoughts, the more he turns to Allah the more thoughts are coming, what can he do?”

Mawlana: “it’s normal, he makes Shahada again, not listening [to his thoughts], continue with Awrad, when thoughts are coming, it’s okay, for everybody shaytan makes this waswasa, so no need to be worried about this, just continue what he’s doing, cause many times is like this, not listening to waswas and continue, continue, at the end he will be safe.

Sh. Hassan: “thank you very much”. [Turkish translation] “Ya Mawlana, dastur, AbdurRahman from Switzerland asks, can you say something about Eternity, how is our connection to Eternity? What is the relation?”

Mawlana: “[sound disturbed, pause] [Video: we’re Alhamdulillah only meeting here for this love, for this pleasure and His pleasure is our pleasure also. So inshaAllah we’re in this place full of love, for Allah, for Prophet, for Companions, for AhlulBayt, for all believers. With this love we can survive in next life, the most important thing for believer is to love Allah Azza wa Jalla and to love His Prophet SAW and with this love for Prophet SAW only we can survive because Allah Azza wa Jalla loves Prophet and he loves those who are loving His Prophet SAW.]
Now we’re back with Mawlana Sheykh, please feel free to ask your question Sheykh Hassan.

Sh. Hassan: “so last question it is, how can we do Mawlana justice to our duty to our role as KhalifatUllah, how can we fulfill this role?”

Mawlana: “just follow what Prophet SAW was ordering, as much as you can do. Try to do your best, may Allah forgive for the rest, the intention is important.”

Sh. Hassan: “Thank you so much Mawlana” Mawlana: “Welcome”. [Turkish translation].

Sid Abdul Hafiz Effendi: “Salam alaikum wa RahmatUllah” [Question in Arabic: yasaluni n-nas idha mumkin yakhudh l-baya bilwhatsapp au indal waqt hum ba’id, yaqdur l-baya bilmediasosyal] Mawlana: “Taban, taban, yastaTiy” AbdulHafiz: “wa yasalunani suwal ‘ajib wa lakin, idha mumkin ya sidi azzawaj bilwhatsapp au mediasosyal” Mawlana: “La, la yujad, litarjum yasin”]

Yassin Effendi : The first question was whether people can take bayah, online on whatsapp or social media and Sheykh Mehmet Effendi said yes they can do that, they’re allowed. The second question was whether they can also marry online and Sheykh Mehmet Effendi said no, that’s not possible.

Mawlana: “There must be a Wakil and they must be there”

AbdulHafiz: “wa fih suwal thani, sayid, [Question in Arabic: kayf yaf’alun consantrasion, fildhikr aw salat” Mawlana: [quote Hadith], slowly slowly shweya shweya inshaAllah.

Yasin Effendi: The question was also about concentration in prayer or during Dhikr and Sheykh Effendi said, slowly slowly it will come inshaAllah.

AbdulHafiz: “yasalunani ani rriba, credit liyashtaraw bayt huna fi uruba”
Mawlana: “fi uruba ashsharia islamiya…

This question was about taking mortgage to buy a house in non believing countries, if it is allowed. And Mawlana quoted one of the most reputable Ustadh of Islamic University in Sham who said in non believing countries it’s allowed, they can do that, they can apply.

Shukran sayidi, barakaAllahu Fik

Saeed Amir Effendi from England: Salam alaikum Saidi, Mawlana: wa alaikum Salam.
“It is said that noble Companions of the Prophet SAW used to ask him permission for many things, likewise in Tariqa the murid also seeks permission from the Sheykh. However many people fail to seek permission when they should do so, such as marriage or very important points in their life. Yet there are also others who go to the extreme and ask the Sheykh about how to paint their room yellow or buy or not a sofa. So in what situation should the murid seek permission and guidance from his Sheykh, what is the correct etiquette and adab in this matter.

Mawlana: “most important thing is for marriage and divorce, this is very important. And if they will change country or job or he will be doing some business or other things they can ask inshaAllah.”

Thank you sayidi.

Dr. Nasip: “Salam alaikum Mawlana” Mawlana: “wa alaikum Salam”
“Mawlana how was the relation between Arabs and Ottomans in the past, how it is now in the present and how it should be in the future”

Mawlana: “Ottoman it was Islamic government and Islamic State and for all people there was justice, Muslims not Muslims, believers non believers, black white, everyone they had their rights, complete rights, best rights, not like these days hypocrite people who killing people in borders who try to come to them who sink people in the sea and are not ashamed to say “we’re civilization people”. The most highest civilization it was in Ottoman but from envy of shaytan and his followers they destroyed it, and now the whole world with hypocrite people. Nowadays, Muslims they’re trying to do something but still, these hypocrites and their followers they’re attacking to not do any good thing. To do good thing it is difficult, destroy is easy. The inheritors and [chosen?] of the Ottomans are trying to do some good somewhere but every time they’re trying they get blocked and stopped from doing it and so they cannot reach everybody all the time. InshaAllah when Mahdi AS coming all this will be solved.

Dr Nasip: “Last question, can we give Ihda from 1 juz’ or salawat, to many people at once or it should be given only to the addressed person. Ù

Mawlana: “Alhamdulillah, Allah is not stingy, Prophet SAW says you can give to anybody and your reward not becoming less. As much as you get reward million people also can get reward, if you make Ihda for a million people. No problem.”

Ali elSayid, from America: “Salam alaikum Mawlana”. Mawlana: “Wa alaikum Salam wa RahmatUllah”.
“Sayidi, there’s a lot of mental illness these days, many people are calling for mental problems especially with the youth, but in general people are having more difficulties because of the lockdown, because of the Coronavirus. They are asking what is a thing they can do to help themselves and their family to stay mentally balanced Mawlana”

Mawlana: “of course this is the purpose of this illness, to produce, of course is with the permission of Allah it happens, those whose belief is not strong this illness coming from them so all the time they must tell them about how Prophet, and all Prophets Salawat alayhim, and Prophet SAW how they were suffering from their life and then they were the winners. So we must make people give them advice, give them examples for this, inshaAllah it will help them, do not be hopeless, Allah says “La taqnatu biRahmtiLlah” Don’t be hopeless.

Yassin Effendi: “We had a question [From Esref Effendi], native Americans, Indians who have Baya with Mawlana, from Sierra Nevada, they’re having difficulties at the moment, and the government and corporation are trying to take over their lands and these lands are sacred for them, sacred ground for them, and they’re asking what they should do. Mawlana Sheykh said that they should ask for their right but there’s no need to fight or cause trouble, in the end everything is in the hands of Allah they should ask for help from Allah and Allah would take care of it. But they shouldn’t cause harm asking for their rights.

They’re asking from all over the world, especially from the Ivory Coast and South Africa and Latin America, whether they can turn their places into places of worship into mosque. Mawlana Sheykh said yes they can do that. May Allah bless them inshaAllah.

Another question asks, a lot of tiranny and oppression has been occuring in the western countries and Europe against Muslims and so they’re asking they should start going back to their countries or should they wait for Mahdi AS arrival to go back to their countries? Mawlana Sheykh said, they should wait for another time not now, right now let them stay where they are there, they should be in safety in their homes, whether Muslims or not Muslims, being at home in safety

The last question was whether Mawlana was happy with their service and they should continue with their service, Mawlana Sheykh said yes, we’re happy and no need to go back, we’re going to go forward, keep going forward and continue your service.

Another question came in [from Ayberk Effendi] in certain countries of Europe, I believe it’s Austria, he said those people who are staying home and want to keep safe and don’t want to vaccinate, and so their children, the children will be forced to vaccinate against this coronavirus and if we don’t we will be punished so what should we do? Mawlana Sheykh said: we’re taking precautions, we want to wait to see what happens before we get vaccinated.

There was a question who came in regarding how to prepare for coming months, the question was should we prepare foodstuff and how shall we do it? Mawlana Shaykh said we should always be ready with 3 months of foodstuff as precaution, and the second question was regarding Friday prayer Jumaa prayer what should we do, how should we do it? Mawlana said if you’re allowed to go out to the Masjid then you can, if not, if you are 3 to 5 people, you can pray by yourself at home,.

[Bayat]

Mawlana: Allah keep you safe inshaAllah, other Muslim people also, Allah gives hidaya to non Muslim, asSalamu alaikum wa RahmatUllah wa BarakatuHu
