2nd International Islamic Unity Conference – 1998 from Haqqani OSMANLI on Vimeo.

Sheykh Maulana Nazim Kibrisi speaking at a conference in Washington, DC in 1998.

Mawlana Sheykh Nazim says that Allah is One and loves for everyone to be in unity. However, since the ending of the Ottoman Empire/khilafat that unity has ended and now there are multiple Muslim states- each going their own direction.

To reach unity one must love Allah. To love Allah one must obey and love the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s).

You may see Sheykh Abdul Kerim Kibrisi behind Sheykh Maulana and the president of Ichkeria Chechnya, Aslan Maskhadov, who has since been martyred.

Shaykh Effendi is back alhamdulillah, I will still be posting some more saved entries of the trip in Turkey and Cyprus after completing some editing inshaAllah. Thanks to Tahir for the video, mashAllah.

BismillahirRahmanirRahim
You must hold onto a pillar to fight Sheytan. Ask for ruknu shadid (the ability to carry without getting tired). Ask for Rajalun Rashid – a perfect man with excellent mind and perfect connection with heavenly positions. Rajalun Rashid are staying hidden because people are not asking.

Sheykh Effendi is speaking about being grounded and not losing ourselves in believing we are accomplishing high spiritual achievements with our weak service.

Sheykh Effendi is speaking about the nature of complaints. My son makes an appearance towards the end

From Wikipedia:

Qasidat-ul-Burda (“Poem of the Mantle”), as it came to be called, is an ode composed by the eminent Sufi Shaikh Sharafuddin Muhammad Al-Busiri (d. 1296) of Egypt. The poem, whose actual title is al-Kawakib ad-Durriya fi Madhi Khair-ul-Bariya (“Celestial Lights in Praise of the Best of Creation”), is recited throughout the Muslim world.

al-Busiri composed the Burda while suffering paralysis of half his body. After praying to God for health, he fell asleep and dreamt of reciting his compilation to Muhammad. The prophet touched the paralyzed body parts and threw his mantle (burda) over al-Busiri. On arising, the shaikh was cured. His story spread and the poem became famous.

Muslims venerate the ode. The poem is memorized and recited in congregations, and its verses decorate the walls of public buildings and mosques. Some Muslims believe that, if recited with love and devotion, the Burda can cure diseases and purify hearts. Over 90 commentaries have been written on this poem and it has been translated into Persian, Urdu, Turkish, Berber, Punjabi, English, French, German, and other languages.

The Burda is divided into 10 chapters and 160 verses. Each verse ends with the Arabic letter m?m, a style called m?m?ya. The 10 chapters of the Burda comprise

* On Lyrical Love Yearning
* On Warnings about the Caprices of the Self
* On the Praise of the Prophet
* On his Birth
* On his Miracles
* On the Exalted Stature and Miraculous Merits of the Qur’?n
* On the Ascension of the Prophet
* On the Chivalrous Struggle of God�s Messenger
* On Seeking Intercession through the Prophet
* On Intimate Discourse and the Petition of One�s State

Sometimes we are very lucky and Tahir comes up from D.C. on Friday nights and records a video of a sohbet. A very important Sohbet got recorded, so important I was really bugging him to put it online very quickly. I think everyone should watch this.
