Back of the Dergah has a beautiful view
Sheykh Mevlana Nazim speaks often about a number of tyrants and spiritual leaders of todays religious communities. Specifically about the Pope he has said within the last year:
You are living for independency or you are living for your Lord’s servanthood? Dalai Lama, where are you? I am here! Oh your holiness Pope, I am here! If I am saying (something) wrong, say! Write that Sheikh is wrong.
If they are looking through their Holy Books, (they) may understand, what we are saying; if it is true or wrong. Yes; warning (the) Pope, warning Patriarchs, warning Rabbis. Stop killing people! Stop wars! And try to be servants of your Creator! If not, you should be punished!
That Pope, why (is he) not thinking? That Patriarch, why (he is) not thinking? That Haham Bashi, Rabbi, why (is he) not thinking?
Where is their power? Christians, where is their power? O Jewish people, where is your power? O millions (of) Hindus-Mindus, where is your powers? We are here! …? … Where is your power, show!“Islam (is) coming! We are fearing that Islam (is) coming to Europe!” ‘Ghaman ala anfun’, against their will, Islam (is) coming! (It is) coming and covering from East to West, from North to South, over oceans, on continents! Even they are not happy, but (Islam is) coming!
Alhamdulillah! That is (the) biggest reward, (the) biggest honour, (the) biggest glory for (a) Muslim, who can say: “I am Muslim! I like to be Muslim!”
Mevlana criticizes clearly and sufficiently.
However, with all these warnings and messages Mevlana still meets people for the sake of Islam, peace and looking towards hope of a better future. Mevlana hopes for the best in all people, for isn’t it really just one Shahadat that could change this whole world tomorrow?
Cyprus is a divided nation, one side Greek and the other is Turkish. The official ‘mufti’ of Cyprus, recognized and placed in that position by the government is Dr. Yusuf Suiçmez. This mufti refused to travel to the south to meet with the Pope due to nationalism and secular pressures. This closed the door for demonstrating the manners of Muslims and representing Islam to Christians.
Seyh Mevlana disregarded these nationalistic pressures and found a way to meet the pope in the UN buffer zone, belonging to neither the Greeks nor the Turks. He gave his message of hope while also defining the basis of his hope:
“I hope that the Lord of Heavens who make our hearts on same direction, to love each other and to help each other, here and hereafter, under the flags of Prophets, under the flags of Holy ones!”

More to come.
The Mahdi will be concealed until the time comes, and when the promised moment comes, then he will appear. His martyrs are the most auspicious of martyrs, and the people he trusts, his viziers, are the most reliable of the trustworthy.
Allah has appointed a group of people to be his viziers. Allah has concealed these people. I have learned these truths by discovery and vigilance. In addition, I have witnessed things Allah foresees for His servants. These will act at the forefront. In the same way that the leading companions kept their world to Allah, so these people will be confirmation of those words. In addition, they will not be Arabs, but foreigners. Although they are not Arabs, they will speak no other language than Arabic. They will have a protector who is not of their kind, who has never opposed Allah in any time. He will be the purest and most genuine of viziers.
In particular, these viziers will be very well-informed on all subjects. But the Mahdi himself… he will be a man of politics in the true sense. Another of these viziers’ distinguishing features is that they are never defeated on the field of battle. For example, they will capture the city of the Greeks, Istanbul, solely by reciting the takbir. At the first takbir one-third of the ramparts will collapse, at the second, another third will collapse, and at the third takbir the remaining walls will fall down. Thus they will capture the city without the sword and using no weapons. This is the truth itself, the brother of victory.
The Mahdi’s viziers will require nine things in order to perform their duties in the best way, no fewer. These things are:
Sharp sight,
To immediately recognise the divine word,
To know how to interpret what comes from Allah,
To know the ranks and stations of those in positions of command,
To know mercy at times of wrath,
To know the ruler’s needs and other things,
To know the connections between matters,
To know the proper bounds when meeting people’s needs,
To know those hidden things required in their own times.
