Dastur! Tariqatuna sohbah wa l-khayri fil jamia'.
With Shaykh Effendi's order, we may speak a few words.
Shaykh Effendi's sohbats, Masha Allah,
are already enough for all of us, but a few things
we say each time; about adab, adab of Tariqat, Sunnah..
And today, as Mawlana already warned& Prophet(sas) mentioned in his Tradition;
stay away from crowded places such as markets, bazaars
or dangerous places where fights can take place.
Especially in this time, when you see a crowd
don't go there to look, wondering what it is.
Shaytan mixes up with such people very much.
People of this time call it "herd psychology".
When a person says something, all of them go to the same place.
They don't see, pay attention if there is someone in front of, or around them.
Therefore it is becoming a big danger. Stay away from such places-
Marches, protests, demonstrations.. Or, going to such bad places
to take something or to see someone who comes to that arena (to speak)..
There is no need to go at all, whether he (speaker) is a good one or bad one.
Don't go to such crowded places at this time.
Stay away. If there is a big crowd stay away from it.
You will be secure, and even if nothing happens there
there is zulmat/darkness in that crowd. If that zulmat comes upon people
it is even worse for them than being injured, or
suffering from pain or being beaten up is still lighter than that.
When that zulmat there falls on people, they can't save themselves from it.
Because there are all kinds of different people.
Definitely, don't even look. Don't go even if they call you.
The place where Muslims gather are dargahs, mosques.
There is no need for what is other than this at this time.
At this time, even if they say "We will gather for Islam" in the streets,
don't go to that either.
As we said, the place where Muslims, people of Tariqat, gather are
mosques & dargahs, no other. There can be weddings etc..
that you go to fullfill your duty because
it is about the feelings of people, responding to invitation (sunnah).
So you quickly do & leave. And if its atmosphere is not good,
meaning not proper according to Islam, no need to go there at all.
They make weddings where alcohol is served,
and music is played etc.. No need to attend them either.
If alcohol is served, you don't go at all. Otherwise you just
make an appearance & leave.
This is enough.
Today we speak about
sohbat, just Shaykh Effendi MashaAllah he give all sohbat enough for
100 years. Just give little bit from
adab or, tariqat and sunnah of Rasulullah (sas).
Sunnah, Rasulullah (sas) & adab Tariqat, Shaykh Effendi all time telling people;
Don't go to crowded place. Be careful from this place.
It is dangerous also. Even in..
People, they say
"herd psychology". Because all people, crowd going. Something happen;
maybe they who fall down can die there.
Because all the people running there and here, like herd.
For this Shaykh Effendi said
"where you find too much crowd, don't go there!"
Because most of this place -
shaytan is happy with this place, he can do what he like.
All people coming angry or something, coming angry or coming
for exciting, so he can do everything.
For this, you must not go there. Even if they invite you there
demonstration or something, don't at all go this place.
Even if they said for Islam or for Allah, also don't go there.
For Islam for Allah, where you must come together in the mosque -
mosque or in dergah. Out of this place, no need for this.
Because if nothing happen, there is darkness coming on you.
It is worse than if you hurt or if you injured. Worse than this for you-
this darkness. You cannot take it off maybe one month, two months from you.
So this is, many Muslim also,
they imitate shaytanic group.
They said demonstration; also Muslim, we must do the same thing. They said,
we shout, also they shout. This is not good. For Islam,
there is Ayah, "Don't shout too much don't be,
your voice louder than Prophet's voice" (49:2-3).
And He said "who shouting for you, for Prophet from behind your door &
high shout, they are no-mind people, La Ya`qiluna" (49:4)
For this, you must be careful what you do. Especially Tariqat people,
they must be very careful for this thing.
Don't imitate shaytan people, they must imitate us.
So we are wearing jubba,
turban, making beard; so we look like Prophet (sas), imitate him.
So when you do this, must all your what you do, you must be same thing.
Not you look like this & going, shouting in the street.
Because when thousand of people going in street & you cannot
catch them. Even when somebody angry, 3 people you cannot catch them.
Wa min Allah at-tawfiq, Al Fatiha.
