Sultans of the Hearts.
HIS HIGHNESS HAYAT BİN KAYS EL-HARRANİ
They are the sultans of our hearts.
They are on the blessed path of the master of preeternity and eternity.
They are the beams of light that illuminate our way.
They are the calligraphers of spirituality who imprint...
...the divinity of Islam into our hearts syllable by syllable.
They are the springs of enlightenment who surround all time and space...
...and who offer benediction, compassion and mercy...
...to the unaware hearts fountain by fountain.
They are the columns of knowledge and insight who support...
...our dome of spirituality that ascends from the ground to heavens.
How happy are the subjects of those sultans...
...of hearts who do not accept liberation.
His Highness Hayat Bin Kays El Harrani, who is one of the...
...great figures of awliya, spent the last 50 years of his life...
...in Harran. Today, his shrine is located in Harran district of...
...Urfa Province and open to visitation.
Two years after the demise of His Highness Harrani in 1185...
...Jerusalem was conquered by...
...Sultan Selahaddin Eyyubi.
His Highness Harrani is one of the four great walis...
...whose miracles have been witnessed even after their demises.
I heard that you summoned me, Holy Patriarch.
Leon, you will embark on a new journey.
Where to, sir?
To the south.
Among the Muslims?
Our knights captured Jerusalem.
However, they haven’t succeeded in invading...
...the surrounding lands yet. The reason for this failure is Selahaddin Eyyubi.
Selahaddin gives no quarter to our army.
I heard that he conquered Urfa, Suruç and Nusaybin.
He is marching towards Byzantium.
Even King of Jerusalem requested our help.
Yes, sir. Our council has made a decision.
They want one of our courageous spies...
...to kill Selahaddin.
Moreover, pursuant to our taken decisions...
...Aleppo Emir Nurettin, who support Selahaddin,...
...must also be killed.
We have chosen you for this extremely important task, Leon.
You speak Turkish and Arabic very fluently.
You are brave. You can easily deceive the Muslims.
You will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins...
...if you succeed in fulfilling these tasks.
Ten thousand gold coins. Yes. Perform the necessary clothing change.
The easiest disguise would be a dervish.
Muslims both love and respect the dervishes.
You will change your name to Aslan.
I guess you would want me to set out at once.
Of course. But be very careful.
I am looking forward to hearing good news from you.
I am counting on you. The entire Christian world...
...will talk about your heroism.
You would understand what this means.
Don’t worry, Honorable Patriarch.
You will see, Leon.
I will fulfill your order in the best manner.
As you also realize, your task is very difficult.
After you have successfully performed the assassination, go to Jerusalem.
I understand you very well, sir. Now, if you’ll excuse me.
Leon. Do you have another order?
This dagger will stand you in good stead.
Mind its end. Do not scratch yourself with it.
That is because the poison on its end is powerful enough to kill even a horse.
Thank you for the warning. I will be careful.
Take this bag of gold coins, too. You might need it.
Come on. Don’t lose time. Hit the road.
Yes, sir.
If Leon does not succeed, we are doomed.
As-Salamu Alaykum. Wa Alaykum Assalam.
Welcome, dervish. May Allah be pleased with you.
Where are you traveling to? My destination is Aleppo.
You have a long way to go.
As-Salamu Alaykum. Wa Alaykum Assalam
The sun is very scorching today.
We can rest a bit there if you like.
It is not right for you to travel alone.
Why not? Recently, we come across...
...more and more crusader looters in these regions.
They enter Muslim lands and attack villages.
Is that so? Soldiers of Sultan Kılıç Arslan...
...give the crusaders no quarter...
...but they sometimes infiltrate our lands.
So, they are coming even here.
These violent heathens have not been able to forget the smack...
...that they took years ago. They can’t stand the fact that...
...Anatolia came under the rule of Muslims and Selahaddin.
Whatever. They will get the appropriate response if they come here.
You are right. You are right.
Hush little baby. Hush little baby. Sleep my dear.
Come on, my dear. Sleep my dear.
What is wrong with my son? Is he sick?
How can I know? He is not sleeping at all.
He has also fever. Maybe he is thirsty.
Why didn’t you give him some water? We have no water.
I have just used our last water.
Let me go and check. I drew the last water towards the evening.
I have used it.
I wish you had spared some of it for the kid.
How could I possibly do that? Wouldn’t we eat?
Wouldn’t we drink?
I don’t waste even a single drop of water.
You are right, Meryem. We are helpless.
Give me that naughty boy.
I guess he has a very high fever. My poor dear.
He is burning with fever.
What do you expect? We are experiencing both high temperatures and aridity.
Allah willing, it will not get worse.
May Allah forbid.
Meryem. What is it?
Our baby is breathing slowly.
Look, his face has turned black-and-blue.
O my Allah. What will we do?
Calm down. Calm down. Should we take him to the garden? Open air might benefit him.
Calm down. How could I calm down? My kid is dying.
My dear. My son. Recover yourself.
I guess he passed out due to high fever.
What will we do? My dear. My baby.
Don’t panic. Don’t panic, Meryem.
Let me go to the dervish lodge and bring water.
Look, he has started crying again.
Go to the dervish lodge at once, find water and come back here. Come on.
My dear. O my baby. May it be good news.
Who can it be at this late hour of the night?
My dear.
As-Salamu Alaykum. May it be a good night.
Wa Alaykum Assalam. Yes, hodja.
Son, is your house is suitable for a guest?
Give me a moment, sir.
Who is it at this late hour of the night?
His Highness Harrani has come.
Why has he come to our house at midnight?
I am sorry, hodja. I have made you wait a little. House matters. Come in.
Do you have a problem, son? Your baby is crying.
May it be good news.
Baby has a fever. That is why he is crying.
As you know, it is very hot. Moreover, there is no water.
He is fortunate. There is zam-zam water in my water skin.
We will make him drink a little zam-zam water. Allah willing, Almighty Allah will cure him.
Bring the baby to me.
Give me the baby. What will you do to the sick baby?
His Highness Hayat Bin Kays wants to see him.
But I don’t have to give my baby to that old man.
How dare you talk like that? Give me the baby.
Take him, but be careful. All right. Okay.
Give me that little innocent baby.
Here you are. My dear. Drink that.
Praise be! Praise be!
Praise be!
O Allah, grant cure to that innocent baby.
Amin.
May Allahu Ta’ala grant us with the opportunity to drink from kawsar water. Allah willing.
He will sleep comfortably with the consent of Allah.
May Almighty Allah protect him from the evil eye and calamities.
May Almighty Allah make him a good son. Amin.
May Allah be pleased with you, sir.
What would I do if you didn’t come here?
Son, we must be patient.
It is normal for a child to become sick and recover.
Everything comes from Allahu Ta’ala. He gives and He takes.
Hodja, if you’ll excuse me.
Take him. Don’t make his mother worried.
Take him. My son needs to sleep. Give him to me. Give him to me.
O my dear. Let me take your temperature.
His fever has gone down.
We can’t fathom such things.
He is a wali subject of O Allah.
I wish we could understand.
I wish we could understand.
My dear. My dear.
Don’t forget that we are constantly tested.
We are tested in sickness and health.
No matter how much a mother beats and berates her child...
...her child comes back and cuddle her.
A person must also act towards his Creator.
He must accept the calamities as blessings.
He must pray so much to the Almighty Allah.
He must obey the orders of Allah.
That is enough. Now, if you’ll excuse me.
Hodja, your visit has brought peace to our house.
All our problems have been taken away. I wish you could stay a little longer.
We want to offer you our sherbet.
You know what they say. A visit must be kept short.
Recover soon. Thank you.
You went to the trouble by coming here.
Hodja, let me accompany you to the dervish lodge with your permission.
I want to leave in the same manner that I have come here.
As you wish. Goodbye, hodja. Goodbye.
Has he left? Yes.
Did you see that? My hodja came to our rescue.
He solved our problem with the consent of Allah.
Our baby did not have such high fever.
He recovered by himself.
You have made a connection between his recovery and Hayat Bin Kays.
How could you think like that?
Hasn’t the incident that we have experienced just now...
...been a miracle of His Highness? But if you don’t want...
...to understand, what can I say?
Come on! So, if he is a great person like you say...
...then why doesn’t this aridity calamity leave us?
Answer me.
People of Harran have prayed again and again for rain.
Have they visited Hayat Bin Kays for once...
...and made a suggestion to him by saying, “Sir, will you...
...come and pray with us for rain?”
How should I know?
Let me tell you.
They didn’t do that.
My hodja endures this calamity...
...that haunts us with great patience.
But we are not able to be like him.
We can’t even endure a problem that will be an atonement for our sins.
Atonement for our sins? A problem is just a problem.
You shouldn’t assign a different meaning to it.
Meryem. What is it?
You have changed much lately.
You would not talk like that when we first converted to Islam.
You would be more careful at that time.
Do you have a problem that bothers you?
I do not have a problem.
How should I put this? It is like you hide something from me.
I haven’t been satisfied with some of...
...your behaviors since the birth of our son.
What are you implying?
I am doing my best.
It is not enough to say, “I am doing my best”.
Worship comes first.
Almighty Allah showed us the right way, and we became Muslims.
We must appreciate this blessing.
Or else, may Allah forbid.
What if we insisted to remain Christians...
...like our mothers and fathers? Pray so that they will also
...become Muslims and save themselves from endless torment.
I am doing housework. I am working in the field and the garden.
Now, I have to care for my child. How could I keep up with these duties?
If this is your only problem, I have an easy solution.
As of tomorrow, I will find you a helper to work in the field and garden.
That will ease your burden.
So, you will have no excuse.
I need to sleep. I am going to bed.
She wasn’t like that in the past.
O Allah. O Holy Allah.
Grant me with patience.
Make Meryem one of the good wives.
I set out in a ship from Yemen on a sunny day.
While I was cruising in the Indian Sea...
...a violent storm broke out.
Our ship capsized like a nutshell and sank.
I remember holding on to a piece of wood.
I was at this island when I opened my eyes.
Sorry to hear that.
How will I leave this island?
Do ships stop by this island? Don’t worry.
They will come to rescue you as soon as possible.
Come on. Follow His Highness Hayat Bin Kays.
O Allah, give life to life.
O the lover of those who repent...
O the source of happiness and bliss for wise people...
O the apple of creatures’ eyes... O the friend of lonely people...
O the shelter of those who take shelter. O the pillar of those who lost hope...
O Holy Allah who is known as the reason for those who fear.
O Allah, give life to life.
It is a great thing for the lover to visit the beloved.
That is because there is a dreadful grief, which is...
...composed of fears, in our hearts. O Holy Allah.
I am going through the barren deserts on foot.
All mountains and valleys, which I come across, always send me to you.
O Allah, give life to life.
O Allah, give life to life.
Welcome, O Salih, the son of Gani.
Sir, where am I?
You are in the city of Harran.
We are fed up with aridity.
If it goes like that for a while longer...
...it seems we will perish.
Alhamdulillah, it is better than nothing.
As-Salamu Alaykum. Wa Alaykum Assalam
I am a poor traveler. Can I rest here?
With pleasure.
I am very tired.
You look like you have come a long way.
Yes, I have.
I have come across dried creeks and wells while coming here.
I haven’t drunk any water since the morning.
This aridity calamity has been wreaking havoc on Harran for a while.
We don’t have much water, but it would be inappropriate for us to not offer some to our guest.
Here you are. That will be much appreciated.
I guess you are a dervish. What is your name?
My name is Aslan. I think you are a Turkmen.
Yes. Where are you traveling to?
I am coming from Konya and going to Aleppo.
I will not stay here much longer.
Is there a place to stay for the night?
Yes, you can stay at our dervish lodge.
Then, let’s go at once. The sun is about to set.
Come on. Bismillah.
You dropped something.
This is a dagger. Well... It is my dagger.
Why are you carrying this? Well...
As you know, roads are not very safe. I am traveling alone.
That is why I am carrying it. You are right.
Lately, we have been hearing the news of the fact that...
...crusader looters have been spotted in this region.
Have you heard such news, too?
Yes, I have. But I haven’t come across any of them yet.
What a simple-minded man.
Your Highness, I am afraid we will not be able to cure your disease here.
For that reason, I am asking for your forgiveness.
Chief doctor, there is no need to ask for forgiveness.
Don’t be sad. O Selahaddin, I am very sad...
...since you are sick. O Emir Nurettin...
I love you as much as I love my own father.
Please do not be sad because of me.
As you know, diseases are atonement for our sins.
I know, Your Highness. I know.
However, I am worrying that you may get behind...
...with the jihad due to your disease.
I have gotten old.
I can’t mount a horse and swing sword like I used to.
O Emir, my disease is not serious enough to prevent me...
...from mounting a horse or swinging sword.
Don’t worry.
I will continue fighting the crusaders until my last breath.
May Allahu Ta’ala help you.
Chief doctor, what would you suggest we do?
Your Highness, the best doctors of the country...
...reside in the madrasas of Harran.
They can even cure the symptoms that...
...occur in the eyes with surgery.
O Cemalettin, tell them to start preparations.
We will go to Harran tomorrow.
Yes, Your Highness.
You are very fortunate.
When you go there, firstly visit His Highness Hayat Bin Kays.
Send him our regards and respect.
Take his blessings.
I haven’t seen him for nearly a year.
I will be able to kiss his hands in this way.
Allah willing, I will come to Harran at the earliest opportunity.
Tell that to His Highness Hayat Bin Kays.
Inform Emir Muzafferuddin Gökberi via...
...homing pigeons that we will come to Harran.
Yes, Your Highness.
Allahu Ta’ala, who created the universes and the living and...
...nonliving things in them, decides as He wishes.
He can extend one second with thousands years.
If He wishes, he can turn a distance of thousand leagues...
...into a very short distance.
He has the property.
He has the order.
If the devil, who is the enemy of Allahu Ta’ala, can travel from...
... one point in the world to another point in a very short time....
...we must not be surprised when a lover of Allah does the same thing.
The important thing is to obey the orders of Allahu Ta’ala and...
...be liable to Muhammad Aleyhi As-salam who is the Beloved of Allah.
If you witness someone flying in the sky...
...and see him in a condition that is not appropriate to Islam...
...his flying in the sky has no importance.
How is the health of our grandson Mustafa?
Alhamdulillah, he is fine. How is our young lady?
He wishes you good health. I hope she doesn’t have a problem.
No, sir.
A good Muslim is a person who protects his wife and members of his family from evil.
Hereby, keep yourself and...
...your children from hell fire.
This is one of our primary duties.
Mustafa, don’t you need a helper?
It is not right for your wife to help you in field and garden work anymore.
Of course, hodja.
Zekeriya. Yes, sir.
Son, you will help your brother Mustafa as of tomorrow.
Facilitate his work.
As you wish, sir.
May Allah be pleased with you, hodja. You have made us happy.
It is our duty to facilitate the works of Muslims...
...and ease their problems as much as we can.
Our Beloved Prophet carried out this in the best manner.
Our entire thought and worry must be...
...to resemble Prophet Alayhi As-salam.
Mustafa, son, is the dervish sitting next to you a friend of yours?
I can’t distinguish his face in the moonlight.
He is a Turkmen dervish. His name is Aslan. He is going to Aleppo.
He was looking for a place to stay for the night.
I brought him to the dervish lodge.
Dervish, why are you going to Aleppo?
I have a duty.
My master gave me a task to fulfill.
All right. My friends will show you a place to sleep for the night.
Allah willing, you will be comfortable.
Sir, if you’ll excuse me.
Okay, son. Go to your home.
Don’t worry about our guest.
Zekeriya will come to help you tomorrow. Good night.
Good night. As-Salamu Alaykum. Wa Alaykum Assalam.
Zekeriya, our guest is very important to us.
Make sure that the dervish is comfortable.
Do not make a mistake in serving him. Yes, hodja.
Salim, take our brother Muzaffer to Emir Gökberi tomorrow.
Inform him that we wish an appropriate task is given to him.
May Allah be pleased with you, sir.
I will be in my room in the dervish lodge. Good night to you all.
O Holy Allah, we are helpless and sinners.
I take shelter in your infinite mercy and compassion.
Forgive us for the sake of your beloved Muhammad Alayhi As-salam.
Give strength to Selahaddin Eyyubi and his soldiers who try to...
...protect Islam against crusader parties with sincerity.
Grant them with victory.
Protect the mujahids who try to...
...make Islam dominant on earth.
O Allah...
O Allah, make Islam Army, which is led by Selahaddin Eyyubi, victorious.
Your dervish is with our hodja. He hasn’t left.
Maybe, he has liked this place very much. I guess so.
Welcome, O people of Harran. Come.
O Hayat Bin Kays. O the beloved subject of Allah.
You know about the hardship that we have been experiencing for weeks.
We are fed up with aridity.
Our creeks have dried up. There is no water left in our wells.
We are begging you. Please, pray for the sake of Allah so that we get rid of this calamity.
Our lips have dried. We have no strength left in our bodies.
O sir. We are in a miserable condition.
We have repented countless times thinking that we might have...
...committed many sins and stolen other people’s rightful share.
We have sacrificed animals for the sake of Allah.
We have given alms. It hasn’t rained nonetheless.
Brothers. The reason for the fact that people can’t gain the...
...blessings of Allahu Ta’ala is that they turn away from Him.
Those who turn away from Him obviously can’t get anything.
April rain does not flow into a closed jug.
Let me firstly tell you this...
All of you must repent with sincerity for your sins and mistakes.
We repent. We repent. We repent.
You all have repented with sincerity.
In that case, let’s pray altogether in order for it to rain.
Allah willing, Almighty Allah will answer to our prayers.
Allah willing.
It is reported in hadith al-sharif that to pray is to worship.
You perform a good deed even if your prayer is not accepted.
Brothers, it is reported that when Prophet Alayhi As-salam, who is...
...the master of the universes, raises his hands and prays...
...Allahu Ta’ala do not want to reject his prayer.
We will fulfill our duty...
...in order to gain this good news. We hope that...
...Allahu Ta’ala will not reject our prayers.
Now, we will go to desert to pray for rain by complying...
...with the sunnah of Rasulullah Alayhi As-salam.
But let me remind you one more time.
Women will stand away from the men.
Non-Muslims, who live with us as our...
...neighbors, will leave the community.
Dervish, go back to the dervish lodge.
I... I...
Okay
O Allah, only you are great.
You are so great that grown people and children...
... beg only you when they are in a difficult position.
Those who beg only you earn what they wish.
Only you can save everyone from difficult conditions.
Do not leave us in a difficult position in both this world and the afterlife.
Amin. Only you send everything to the needy people.
Send us blessed and beneficial things...
...in both this world and the afterlife.
Do not make us in need of anyone in both this world and the afterlife. Amin
O Allah, grant us with the beneficial rain.
Do not make us one of those who give up hope from your blessing. Amin
O Allah, save the people in our town and in other towns...
...from hunger, poverty and difficulty.
O Allah, make our crops grow. Amin
O Allah, save us from poverty and hunger.
Take away the calamity, which can’t be removed by anyone else other than you, from us.
O Allah, we are begging you for forgiveness.
That is because You are undoubtedly the true forgiver.
Grant us with a fruitful rain.
O Allah, grant us with rain. Amin
Sir, I was sent by Emir Muzafferuddin Gökberi.
Does Emir want anything from us?
Not at all. He has sent his regards and respect.
He told me to convey his message to you.
Sultan Selahaddin Eyyubi is coming to Harran.
His Highness Sultan will visit you...
...and request you to help him and pray for him.
Tell His Highness Sultan that I am waiting for him.
May Almighty Allah make your journey safe.
As-Salamu Alaykum. Wa Alaykum Assalam
Hodja the construction is continuing at full speed.
Allah willing, we will be able to pray in our mosque before winter.
Allah willing.
In order for the book of deeds to not close after death...
...you must either raise a good kid or a student.
Or you must construct buildings to be used for blessed activities...
...such as mosques, madrasas or almshouses.
Yes, Dervish.
I wonder if I could stay here a little longer and work in a job.
You will work under Mustafa with...
...Zekeriya and earn your daily bread.
Thank you very much. May Allah be pleased with you.
Dervish, may Almighty Allah make us one of his subjects that He accepts.
May Almighty Allah make us one of his subjects that He accepts.
What are you waiting for? Go and find Zekeriya.
As-Salamu Alaykum. Wa Alaykum Assalam, brother Salih.
Do you like it here?
Yes, sir.
I have a question for you. Yes, son.
How have we been able to arrive at this island...
...from the Indian Sea in such a short time?
I am wondering about it much.
There is nothing strange about it.
Allahu Ta’ala, who created this enormous universe and all creatures,...
...can turn a long distance into a short distance if He wants.
Do not seek wisdom from us. We are helpless and sinned subjects.
We are obliged to pray and request with sincerity.
Almighty Allah accepts if He wishes. He does not accept if He does not wish.
The incident that you witnessed...
...was a benevolence from Almighty Allah for us.
Did you come across anyone else before me?
Sir, I came across Sheikh Abdulkadir Geylani in Baghdad.
But I did not have the opportunity to take lessons and advice from him.
I led a long life under the shadow of...
...His Highness Abdulkadir Geylani.
I drank heartily from his springs of wisdom.
He had such a sublime soul that the divine...
...light around him would cover the sky.
Every wali would benefit from that divine light in accordance with his rank.
While His Highness Abdulkadir Geylani was dying...
...he gave his soul with happiness and bliss.
We have worked a lot. Give me that water skin. I am thirsty.
Thank you.
What a bad thing is aridity.
Thank Allah.
With the prayer and blessing of His Highness Harrani...
...it rained and both we and the soil got enough water.
We experienced that calamity for weeks.
It is unbelievable.
It started to rain before you came back to the dervish lodge.
It is quite amazing.
He is a blessed person.
Why did he settle down here?
That is because he was born here.
He was born in Urfa. When Harran and its vicinity...
...was conquered again by Sultan Selahaddin...
...he was tasked spiritually.
He has been refreshing the burning hearts in Harran for years.
Do you know when Selahaddin Eyyubi will come?
I think he will be in Harran in a couple of days.
Our Sultan is very generous.
He will bring many presents when he come here.
But my hodja is more generous than him.
He will distribute the presents, which will be given to him, to the people of Harran.
He will also pray for them.
What a nice thing to do.
It was good for Mustafa to have moved here...
...after he became a Muslim.
Otherwise, Christians would always agitate him.
This place will be a beautiful garden.
As-Salamu Alaykum. Wa Alaykum Assalam.
The sun is about to set.
We have worked enough for today. We will stop soon.
May I be excused? I have to go home.
Meryem, go inside now.
What is happening to you? Why are you coming so furiously?
Stop talking. I said go inside.
Don’t you see? I am hanging out the laundry.
Now is not the time. Look around you. There are people.
You are dressed as if you are inside home.
Let go of my arm. Are you insane? Go inside.
It is enough. You have been a great burden to me.
Why have I been a great burden to you?
I have told you countless times.
Haven’t I told you to not go out without covering yourself thoroughly?
Listen to yourself. You have no right to interfere in my attitude.
I can wear any clothes I want.
Look how other Muslim women cover themselves.
Dress like them.
Do you see what you have done? You have woken up the baby.
I have been working tiresomely since the morning.
I have been doing one chore after another. Yet you are talking like that.
I am not saying anything about your tiresome work.
I am just saying be careful about your clothes for the sake of Allah.
You are talking as if I am wandering naked.
You don’t appreciate me for whatever I do. I am suffering.
Please do as I say.
I am talking for your bliss in this world and in the afterlife.
Listen to me. Do as I say. You are more than welcome.
Promise me and I will not make you sad ever.
My baby.
You don’t want this, do you?
Is it so difficult to cover yourself.
Just as a Muslim woman have to cover herself...
...you also have to act like that.
Otherwise, do not expect a smiling face from me.
That is enough for today.
Okay? We will give up all our traditions that remained from Christianity.
It is not okay. It is not okay.
I am at the end of my tether. You have tormented me enough.
Wait. Wait. Where are you going?
You will see where am I going.
I will report you to Hayat Bin Kays.
You both speak out against His Highness Harrani...
...and report me to him.
I will gladly report you to Hayat Bin Kays.
Sir, it is almost evening. You have called it a day early for the workers.
Please stop working.
Okay, master. That is enough for today.
Sir, a woman is coming towards here.
May it be good news. Allah willing.
Do you know where the Sheikh is?
Why are you crying, my dear?
I am Hayat.
Sir, I am Mustafa’s wife.
I am begging you. Please talk to Mustafa.
He beats me. He torments me.
Why aren’t you looking at my face?
Will you not listen to me, too?
What should I do? Nobody listens to me.
You are very sad, my dear.
Go to your home. I will talk to Mustafa.
Be patient. Don’t worry. Now, go.
Mustafa must be very about you.
I am in a strange land. To whom should I talk about my problem?
Okay, my baby. Let’s go home.
Go to your husband, my dear. Don’t worry.
Selahaddin Eyyubi hasn’t come yet.
I guess he will be here in a couple of days.
Alright.
Why are you wondering about him so much?
How could I not? It is an honor to see such a great man.
You are right.
I wish we would wonder about our end, too.
I wish we would worry about our end.
Mustafa has not come back since the morning.
Has he gone somewhere? He took the cattle to the valley.
I think he will come back before evening.
He is a good man. Yes, he is.
I am very thirsty. Let’s rest a bit.
This woman...
I think this woman is Mustafa’s wife.
She is a very beautiful woman.
Zekeriya. Zekeriya, what happened? My eyes. My eyes.
How could this be? There is no one around.
A slap for a single gaze. A second slap for a second gaze.
This is the voice of Hayat Bin Kays. I am doomed. I am doomed.
Stop. Stop. Let me check your eyes. Stop. O Allah, forgive me.
Stop. Stop. No. No, I don’t want. Stop. Let me check your eyes.
I am very regretful. I have to go.
I can’t appear before my hodja anymore. I have to go.
I haven’t been wrong, have I?
Pull yourself together. Are you a man to believe such things?
You are right. But...
Yes, it was you who got caught.
What was it?
O Allah. Forgive me, O Allah.
I have to kill Selahaddin as soon as he comes here.
I will not have such an opportunity again.
My prey is coming towards me while I am chasing him.
But something is bothering me.
If I succeed in assassinating him, how will I leave here?
Moreover, Hayat Bin Kays is a wise man.
What if he figures out my intention?
No. No, he will not. He will not figure out my intention.
Now is not the time to think about him.
But I can’t forget the slap that Zekeriya got.
What if something like that happens to me?
O Leon. Leon, what are you thinking?
Are you afraid of an old man?
Clear your mind from such nonsense ideas?
My poisonous dagger is growing impatient.
His Highness Patriarch rewarded me...
...by giving his own dagger to me.
I must be worthy of such compliment.
I wonder how many people were killed by this dagger.
I will also gain many gold coins.
What are you mumbling about, dervish?
Do you have a trouble?
Sir, I haven’t realized that you came.
You were so preoccupied in your dreams that you would not hear if a lightning struck.
I am a little exhausted today.
Didn’t you go to work?
I think Zekeriya got sick.
I did not go to work because he didn’t come.
So, he got sick.
Hodja. Yes, son.
I was looking for Zekeriya. He did not come to work today.
He is not the only one. When Zekeriya did not come to work...
Dervish worried about him and waited here.
Don’t worry. He will be here soon.
Zekeriya.
What happened to you? What happened to your eyes?
You have bloodshot eyes. Stop.
Don’t panic.
Hodja, I am begging you. Please forgive me.
Son, only Allahu Ta’ala can forgive.
I have been praying and repenting since yesterday to beg forgiveness.
No tears have left in my eyes due to excessive crying.
Son, look at me. Don’t sink into despair because of the gravity of your sin.
Don’t forget that we are being tested.
I am so ashamed. How could I look at your blessed face?
I will pray to Almighty Allah so that He may forgive you.
Allah willing, Almighty Allah will accept your repentance.
Take refuge in the holy dervish lodge.
It is not possible for the unforgiven to return empty-handed.
I am not worthy of being at your door.
Stop talking and listen to me very carefully.
These are the characteristics of a loyal Muslim.
He mustn’t give up reciting the name of Allah...
...and remembering Him even for a single moment.
He must continue fulfilling his religious obligations and sunnahs by looking after his rights.
He mustn’t let the love of temporary pleasures of this world into his heart.
He must always possess the love of Allahu Ta’ala in his heart.
Do you understand me well? Yes, hodja.
Now, go to the dervish lodge.
There is no need for this.
Mustafa, go to your home.
I will visit you this evening.
I would be honored, sir.
There is no need for this.
Your Highness, soldiers are resting.
Will you not rest, too?
If I weren’t sick, I would want to...
...go to Harran without taking a break.
You are in a hurry.
How could I not hurry, O Cemalettin?
I am looking forward to seeing His Highness Harrani...
...and take his blessings.
If we hadn’t have such blessed people like him...
...we might have gotten into very difficult situations...
...in our jihad against the crusaders.
Everybody saw his coming to our rescue...
...in our conquest of Askalan Castle.
It is not just the Battle of Askalan, Cemalettin.
During the conquest of Urfa, Suruç and Harran...
...we saw His Highness Harrani attacked the enemy alone with his sword.
There were hundreds of soldiers with green turbans...
...and jubbas, of whom we didn’t know, along with him.
May Almighty Allah does not deprive us...
...of the prayers of these great men. Amin
Religious scholars, who do not gravitate toward...
...the world and seek fame, are the men of the afterlife.
They are also the soldiers of the prayer army.
Cemalettin, the sword army is not complete without the prayer army.
It is not complete without the prayer army.
Mustafa, son, tell me about your problem?
You know it, sir.
Will your wife be able to hear my words?
Yes, she is in the other room.
Then, listen to me very carefully for I will tell you something.
A reasonable wife and husband do not upset each other.
It is a sign of stupidity to upset one’s spouse.
The spouse of a cruel and restless person...
...becomes constantly sad and mentally ill.
I am already mentally ill.
When one loses his nerve, various diseases emerge.
A person, whose spouse is sick, is doomed.
His bliss ends.
He is deprived of the service and help of his spouse.
His life is spent by listening to her problems.
You are right. Keep in mind that your restlessness directed to your spouse...
...will also harm you.
Always try to be good humored and pleasant-spoken towards her.
If you can do this, you will live comfortably and peacefully...
...and gain the consent of your Creator.
If she makes a mistake, do not act harshly.
Act with kindness.
Time is the best medicine.
Son, listen to me. I am eighty years old.
I have children.
Nonetheless, sometimes unpleasantness emerges in our house, too.
You must calm down in such situations.
Do you understand me? Yes, hodja.
If you act with kindness, your spouse acts with kindness.
Do not give in to your anger. Anger comes from the devil.
You will pray for the good state of your...
...wife and children. Holy Prophet says, “Prayer...
...is the weapon of a believer.” Let’s pray altogether.
Allah willing, the unpleasantness between you will fade away.
Allah willing. Allah willing.
Do you understand, my dear son? Yes, hodja.
May Allah be pleased with you. Amin. May Allah be pleased with all of us.
Don’t forget that those who don’t pray can’t gain what they wish for.
Those who don’t want to perform salah when it’s salah time...
...can’t recite Kalima-i-Shahadat in their last breath.
Now, if you’ll excuse me.
Mustafa Effendi, forgive my faults.
I promise you that, from now on, I will be a spouse...
...just like His Highness Harrani described.
Believe me.
Meryem, don’t be sad. I give you all my blessings.
Give me your blessings.
I will not quarrel with you again.
I will not quarrel with you again. I will not upset you ever.
I will not upset you ever.
May Allah be pleased with you.
I hope you will become one of the wise women.
As-Salamu Alaykum, sir. Wa Alaykum Assalam, Your Highness. Welcome.
There is no need for this. No. No.
Sir, we have come to you to earn your prayer.
May Almighty Allah give strength to your wrist and determination to your heart.
Come in, Your Highness.
Everyone, who comes to this world, is born to leave it eventually.
Everyone, who comes to this world, is born to transit from mortal to lasting.
Everyone, who comes to this world, is born to distinguish righteous from superstition.
Everyone, who comes to this world, is born to observe the material and meaning.
Zekeriya. Yes, sir. Mustafa. Yes, sir.
Prepare a table for our guests. Yes, hodja.
O Sultan of Hearts...
We beat our enemies whenever we come across them...
...with the blessing of your prayers and benevolence.
May Almighty Allah grant your life with blessing.
Hodja, you seem sad over something.
What does make you sad? Tell me.
There is no need for this. Your Highness, you went to the trouble by coming here.
May Allahu Ta’ala give you what you are destined for.
Amin.
Whichever facility Allahu Ta’ala has supplied for you...
...you will utilize it for the jihad. If you don’t utilize it...
...you will be sinned as if you gave up performing salah and fasting.
This religion was conveyed to us thanks to the lives, properties...
...and sacrifices of the people lived before us.
If they hadn’t perform jihad, they might not have become Muslims today.
You will perform jihad with your swords and we will perform jihad...
...with our prayers in order for the next generations to not go to hell.
Sir, I want to join those who perform jihad for the sake of Allah.
I want to be a martyr.
Pray for me to get my wish.
Martyrdom. Who doesn’t want to be a martyr, son?
Allah willing, we will be honored with serving Islam until our last breath.
Allah willing. Sir, I want to become a martyr so much...
...with a spear in my chest, blood on my mouth...
...and a sword in my hand
We will all die one day. The important thing is a beautiful end.
If the time of death has not come yet...
...nobody can kill anyone.
Your Highness, pray for me.
Pray for me so that Almighty Allah grant martyrdom...
...to this old man that you visited.
May Almighty Allah grant martyrdom to fellow Muslims here.
May Almighty Allah grant martyrdom to our brother dervish.
Holy Prophet says, “Love of this world is the primary evilness.”
Some people seek money, office or rank.
Some people want other people to envy them.
Some of them even risk their lives in this pursuit.
He is talking as if he understands.
It is obvious. Think carefully.
These people endure many hardships...
...for the eternal bliss of other people.
Bold and fearless Selahaddin Eyyubi, who brought your armies...
...of hundred thousand soldiers to their knees, is standing across you.
Look at him and draw a lesson from him.
Yet you want to kill exceptional people...
...for simple worldly things.
Furthermore, there is no guarantee to get away with it.
What if they also kill me.
O Leon, come to your senses. Convert to Islam.
I saw a group of crusaders and I pitied them.
They will all burn in hell eternally.
How will they endure it? I feel so sorry for them.
They don’t know. I feel so sorry for them. We must...
...also help them to save themselves from hell.
We must help them even if they get angry with us and kill us.
There is Selahaddin Eyyubi. There are mujahids.
They have only one objective. They don’t want people to burn.
They don’t want people to be eternally unhappy.
Calm down, don’t move.
Calm down. Bring some water.
We can’t know where and how a person will be saved.
Come on. Say it. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
I have a confession to make.
Don’t be sad. Relax.
Actually...
I was a Christian.
I have understood that I was wrong.
All my doubts cleared away when I met you.
The end has come for me.
This is because that dagger was poisonous.
Now, I consider myself very lucky...
...even in this state.
I have had the opportunity to meet...
...good people such as yourselves.
Witness this. I am becoming a Muslim.
Give me your blessings.
Those who are among good people are saved...
...no matter what intention they have. He came here for a purpose.
He saw something. He completed his life with a very beautiful end.
Mustafa. Zekeriya. Lay down dervish.
Cover him.
O Allah, You are the most compassionate among the compassionate ones.
Make us one of those who complete their lives with faith.
Islam sweeps away and throws the ones before it.
They become just like newborns.
Allahu Ta’ala values faith.
Faith is beautiful.
Thus, whoever has faith is beautiful and valuable.
I am both happy and sad today.
That is because together we have witnessed...
...a person was honored with faith.
I am upset that he left us very early.
It is out of our hands. We are just humans. We are also helpless.
Poor man. Brothers...
...our lives are filled with countless noteworthy incidents.
We must draw a lesson from these incidents. Don’t forget that the important thing is to leave this world with faith in our last breath.
Master. Yes, sir.
I think Qibla direction of the mosque is wrong.
How could this be, sir? It is right.
Study it again.
May our hearts be satisfied. There is no need for this. It is right.
Could you study it again? I told you there is no need for this.
Check the direction of the Qibla.
