Other than the people I invite, Nabil is close to us, but Shari`ah does not accept this, and what Shari`ah doesn’t accept cannot be. Now he comes and sits, makes du’a for me, but we have to abide by Shari`ah! There are mahrams (unmarriageable kin) here. He is looking at mahrams, talking to them, shouting at them! It is not needed. That’s why no non-mahram men should enter here; this is a heavy burden on me. Only Husayn (computer Husayn) poor man, is the exception; in fact, even he should come with someone else (mahram), not by himself, not alone. This is very important to warn people!
This `Asr time, a heavy burden came on me. Nabil is close, but this is the rule of Shari`ah. For example, if Feridun were here it couldn’t happen as he would not accept this either (as Shari`ah does not accept this). This place is Feridun’s home and your haram (speaking to family members) and it is open for all my children and the inner circle of my family.
This is an important warning! Whoever wants to send salaam to me can send it from the masjid or, with my permission, they can meet me while my mahram are not present. If there are any ladies here nobody should come, and this is very important. Be prepared. This is an incredibly heavy burden. Now it’s the time of Haqq and Haqq will prevail; anybody outside Haqq will be swept away, thrown away! May Allah make us not among those. We are asking closeness.
Thanks to Allah, today is the first time (first suhbah) I sat for almost a month. I am tired of this bed, astaghfirullah; it is harmful.
Ladies have permission to come up, this is how it is. Now for ladies, they can come and go any time. We don’t want any men (up here), other than our mahram. Pay attention to this!
(Mawlana is complaining to his sons about Riham. He says to Shaykh Mehmet) Tell them not to insist, they keep insisting even if I’m full! This is not good as it is night time and I’m just sitting. Had I had moved…(implying they are making him eat too much food).
Also, the non-mahram cannot enter here.
There is one other important issue, Shaykh Mehmet Effendi: it is not allowed for men to kiss each other, not at all. I never like it. Is it allowed in Shari`ah?
Shaykh Mehmet: No.
They made a custom, Shaytan’s custom. Even hugging is not permitted for men as hugging is either disliked or forbidden. Kissing is altogether forbidden for men; men should not kiss other men! You have to be careful about this; this is like an epidemic.
Shaykh Mehmet: It is more common among the Arabs.
It is because of their ignorance. Prophet (s) never kissed anyone on his face and the ones after him didn’t do this either, but the hand can be kissed. This is important! It is permissible to kiss someone’s hand out of respect, but the old man doesn’t have to kiss the person back. This (hugging) is either disliked or forbidden.
This is an important point. The tajalli that will destroy Shaytan has started and it will destroy. His sultanate is like a house built on straw; it has no strength or value. The time has arrived and it will be destroyed! You do it, and we will watch! (Joking with his son and grandson. All laugh.)
You can let people hear this.
Also, during prayers, young people should not be in the front but at the back. Take it into consideration and apply it.
I am getting inspirations. The tajalli has changed. Now Shari`ah’s rule will prevail. Help, O my Lord, in the service of Mahdi (a). Ameen!
If needed, men can get permission and come up with one of my male family members when no ladies are around. No ladies should be present with any men (up here). I see Nabil coming and going, and he is used to to that but this is not the way it should be. (Once) he opened the door and came in, his (Shaykh Mehmet’s) wife was here too and my daughter was here, also the nurse, your aunt. He talks to them, also. This is not acceptable. This place actually belongs to Feridun. Without his permission, nobody can enter here.
Wa min Allahi 't-tawfeeq. Fatihah.
