March 18th 7:45 EDT (New York Time)
Hani, a murid associated with Michigan sent me this letter with excerpts of an apology. I did not take these excerpts and ‘cut and paste’, so that much is for everyone to know.
The letter:
—
audhu bil-Lahi min ash-Shaytan ar-RAJEEM
Bismillah hir-Rahman ir-Raheem
Yursil Bhai:
as-Salaamu ‘alaykum, wa rahmatullahi, wa barakatuhu!
You have one more sohbet to watch. It is nearly 1 hour and 20 minutes long.
Within it, towards the end, Sayyidi Sheykh Hisham is addressing Sheyh AbdelKerim directly again. This time it is not from Michigan but from Singapore. He is publicly giving him an apology and an invitation. View the whole sohbet here please:
http://www.sufilive.com/Suhbah_1-2386.html
I’ve put a few excerpts below, but I strongly recommend you shut out all distractions while watching this video in its entirety please. The full power of the suhba cannot be appreciated if it is not viewed in its entirety.
Excerpts:
“I am not saying this with disrespect to any of the khalifas. No, I am saying with love to you. Personally, Sheykh AbdelKarim. Because I love you and I respect you since New York. We were together, you remember. And I visited you in your restaurant in Brooklyn. You remember that. And I came to your house…we ate bread and salt. But:
وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَى تَنفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
“And remind, for reminding profits the believers.” Qur’an 51:55I am not an enemy to you. No, I am a brother and might be lower than you. No problem. I respect you, I love you, but it’s good to remind people. I am older than you. You respect my age if nothing else. I gave you respect now.
You give respect. And I am not far, you know my way. You used to come every time. Every one month, two months, you used to visit. You can come. You are most welcome! You and your group. “
…
“So my humble apology to all of you if I said something that you were not happy with.
But don’t cut and paste what I am saying. Keep the lecture from beginning to end if you want to keep it, not cutting and pasting. Because [when you are] cutting and pasting you are responsible in front of Allah & His Prophet and in front of Awliyullah that you did a confusion. I am clearing the confusion.”
….
“We cannot see something that would be difficult on our hearts. So out of that I spoke what I spoke. May Allah Subhana wa Ta’Ala forgive us and forgive everyone and may Allah Subhana wa Ta’Ala grant us the power to say sorry. We say sorry. Don’t cut and paste. You can say sorry and come and visit. I am older than you. You come as you usually used to come. wa min Allahi tawfiq bi hurmatil Faitha.
This is for everyone. That’s not for a particular person. For me, for them, for everyone! May Allah swt benefit us from this and support us and bless us. Bi hurmatil Habib bi hurmatil Fatiha.
Allahumma salli ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammadin Nabi al-Ummi wa ‘ala Alihi wa Sahbihi wa Salli
Sheykh Abdul Kerim, two years ago, answered those who attack:
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. 
http://www.yursil.com/blog/2010/03/sheykh-mevlana-new-dergah-cyprus/
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)
- Sheykh Mevlana Nazim Adil al-Hakkani visited the house of Seyh Abdul Kerim and murids. Shukr Alhamdulillah #
