Recently there have been some videos posted attacking Sheykh Abdul Kerim openly and the Osmanli Dergah from Michigan. They are claiming that Sheykh Abdul Kerim is opening a dergah in Cyprus next to Maulana and that this is an act of craziness.
What is craziness is to think that Sheykh Abdul Kerim Effendi would or could do anything (especially in Lefke) without Sheykh Maulana Nazim’s explicit order and direction. Maulana specifically wanted a Dergah to be opened and run according to Ottoman/Osmanli ways in Cyprus.
This is what he ordered Sheykh Abdul Kerim to do, and that is what he is doing.
This is a continuation of his 2008 message where Maulana ordered Sheykh Abdul Kerim to work in Maulana’s area. Available on video here.
They say Seyh Effendi isn’t praying at that dergah, but goes elsewhere. Of course he goes elsewhere.
People who have never been to Cyprus are being taken for fools. The dergah next to Maulana’s house is not visited by Maulana himself. In fact, countless times Maulana was the one praying in these masjids with Sheykh Abdul Kerim right next to him.
When was the last Jummah Khutba you heard from Sh Maulana?
Want some pictures of ‘not praying at the Dergah’?
Now we know Maulana doesn’t come pray very often to the Dergah next to his own house, but Maulana visited the Osmanli Dergah in Lefke to open it himself.
Wouldn’t it be real craziness to think that Maulana would visit a place like this when it is against his wishes?
One can see Maulana openly praying in the dergah, blessing it.

Or do you think that Awliya are just tricking you (Hasha Astahgfirulllah)? This is a clear message that the dergah is opened by Sheykh Maulana. Then they are second guessing Sheykh Maulana by saying he is being ‘patient’ with people who are doing work all around him. This is a sign of a deep disease. In this pseudo reality world these people create, what Maulana does is actually the opposite of what he really wants. For them, he doesn’t really want a Dergah, he just opens it up for some twisted game!
It is said on this site: “THE PRESIDENT OF CYPRUS IS THERE, AND THEY HAVE HIJACKED AND PREVENTED SUFILIVE TO BROADCAST THAT IMPORTANT EVENT AND THEY CANNOT SAY IT IS PRIVATE AS THEY WERE BCASTING IT THEMSELVES. ”
These people are upset that the President of Cyprus came and they were not able to broadcast. Like their past history, it is clear they are quiet until it becomes an issue of politics and gain. Could it be Maulana wants a direct feed of his sohbets unassociated with contrary messages?
What has Maulana said about Khalifa, about Democracy openly?

On top of that, all Islamic countries are now making advertisements for democracy, not theocracy, which would be following the Sharia. No! They want democracy, because the Europeans want it, they would never want a theocracy. And now our people are trying to copy this. Also in the private lives of people they want to copy the western people. It makes them proud to be like the western people.
What are these people saying about the same? They make Sahabis into political parties and shariat into democracy. What is real craziness is how these people reconcile these obvious conflicts in their minds.

InshaAllah this Osmanli Dergah will be a big success because of Sh Maulana’s blessing and permission.
Many people will be assisting in this effort, including Cafer Iskenderoglu.
They are complaining about Sheykh Abdul Kerim by calling him crazy, and by doing so they have fulfilled the hadith: Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Engage in the Dhikr of Allah in such abundance that people comment that ‘you are insane’.” (Ahmed, Abu Ya’la, Ibn Habbaan)

Salaams from Cyprus
to all that I know and all that I don’t know as yet,
Khairiyah (Siegel)
Our Grandsheikh is saying – his every advice is like
shells for guns, giving to you to use against the enemy.
But you are only taking and making a depot. We are
giving to you for shooting; that is our intention. We
are giving you every range of shells, some for nearby
and some for the other side of the mountain. Yet our
Grandsheikh is saying: «I can’t find anyone to keep my
advices.» I hope you may keep his advice.
Our Grandsheikh is asking, what is that which Allah
and his Prophet don’t like? You must know, and when
knowing, keep far away from it. He answers that it is to
look after a person’s faults. Allah has prohibited this. It
is a big sin and the worst action a person can make. You
also have faults everyone has so many, and you have a
responsibility for those faults in the Divine Presence.
So why are you looking to the faults of others; you must
eliminate your own. When one is looking to the faults
of another, the respect we have for him in our heart
disappears, and the love toward him is extinguished.
Therefore, it is prohibited. So many faults everyone
has, that if we were looking to them, all would become
enemies. It causes seperation of the Ummah, and then
comes Shaitân to capture us. Islam calls love and strong
relations between people, to protect from badness and
give power to faith. Therefore, we are ordered for worshipping
together, so that our faith will grow stronger.
Our Grandsheikh says we must be careful that Shaitân
does not make our worship unacceptable. It is unacceptable
when we are asking for any rewards. We must
ask for our Lord’s pleasure only. When all the ego’s
desires are finished, then one is a servant of the Lord.
To look for some reward for worshipping is like idol
worship. Sincerity is to ask only your Lord’s service.
So many people are worshipping and then doing what
their ego demands. This means that they are servants
of Allah and of Shaitân. It is a dangerous way.
Until we become clean of bad character we can’t be
free of Shaitân, this world, our egos, and vain desires.
Until you know when you put your foot down, whether
it is on the right way or the wrong way, you are yet
in need of alignment in your heart. You must know
and be awake to where you are putting your foot. In
one second’s sleeping may come a dangerous accident.
Therefore, we are always in need to repeat the word of
shahâda, to put us on the right way.
Until we become free of bad character, we cannot attain
to real faith; and if no real faith, then there is no
life in this world will live on in the tomb, his body not
turning to dust. It is a sign from Allah that he has reached
true life. How is it possible to save ourselves from
bad character? A bad characteristic is pride. Iblis was
thrown out of the Divine Presence for his pride. If a man
is not humble enough to accept one man to teach him
lessons, he is proud. You must have a Tariqat Teacher
to show you how to use the Shariah on yourself. He
learned from his Sheykh how to use Shariah on himself.
There can be no surgeon who hasn’t witnessed surgery,
but learned only from books.
Whenever something is wrong in a person, everything around him appears wrong to him. When he is all right within himself, the world appears all right to him. The world is created perfectly by our Creator. If something appears wrong to you, you must ask yourself: “What is wrong in me that I see this as wrong? Oh my nafs, you are wrong!
-Sheykh Maulana Nazim al-Hakkani
