A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.
Nothing is going to be as we like, understand? We must have two wings: one for shukr, thanks, and one for sabr, patience; then we may fly together. That is Allah Almighty’s custom. Therefore, it is better to be patient and to give thanks is best.
Do all of you have mothers and fathers? (Yes.) Are all of you working now? (Yes.) You are all teachers? (Yes.) May Allah give you happy days.
(Mawlana Shaykh Nazim gives bay`a.)
Everyday, recite “RabbunAllah, HasbunAllah” 100 times. If you would like to do more, you may. Every closed door will open for you, don’t worry. Keep your prayers and try to recite Holy Qur’an.
Do not get out at night, stay home. Tell your husbands, brothers, or fathers that you must not leave your house without a man. Don’t leave your house during the day and particularly at night without a man. Close your doors from the night life; keep yourself indoors. So many things are going to happen now. You must have heard about what happened in Japan. No one can give you a guarantee that this place cannot be like that place, no! Keep yourself indoors and trust in your Lord’s Protection.
Fatihah.
