thing, know it, but then forget it again. But what you have been granted from Allah Almighty is never going to be forgotten...

It is a very dangerous happening for mankind. People claim to be learned and to know so many things. But they have also been given forgetfulness, which makes them to lose all of it. Everybody from mankind may forget. No one can say: "| am not forgetting anything", except the Awliya, the Saints, who are keeping knowledge through their hearts, not through their minds.

Who is keeping knowledge in his mind, day by day, little by little, is going to lose it. “Afaatu’l ‘ilma an-nisyan”... the problem with knowledge is that anytime it can be forgotten- you are learning, but forgetfulness never lets that knowledge stay with you... But who keeps knowledge through his heart never forgets. | was with GrandShaykh for 40 years, and | never heard him say about anything: "| forgot." He was saying: "When | was born my heart was working, knowledge was in it."

Oh people, you must try, for this year particularly, to save yourself and your family from terrible and horrible events. Take care for them, and it will give you contentment. Don’t run after money. Money can never give you any insurance.

Therefore we are trying to say that holy word: "La ilaha ill’ Allah, la ilaha ill’ Allah, la ilaha ill’ Allah...", asking to put it into our heart by repeating it, because through his mind a person may lose it. But so many ignorant people are objecting to Tariqat people who say and repeat: "La ilaha ill’ Allah...". They are getting very angry because their teacher is Shaitan. And every Tarigat is asking to take that holy word from our minds to our hearts. And hearts never forget, so it is never going to be lost. But if you are not keeping Dhikr, you are going to forget after hours or days...

Therefore Tariqat must be. It is helping people to transport their knowledge from their heads, their minds, to their hearts. It is a little bit difficult, but you must try to take away the difficulties. And the only way is to say: "La ilaha ill’ Allah..."- opening hearts...

Those square-head people never understand and they are fighting people, asking: "Why are you making Dhikr?" We are making Dhikr so the realities which belong to the Lord of the Heavens come from our mind to our heart. Then they are never going to be forgotten and we may always know them. That is the important point for Tariqats. But we have a saying,

16|Bridge to Eternity that if you put chocolate in front of a donkey, it will refuse it. But if you put straw, it will eat it. What shall we do, if people insist to be donkeys, only happy with straw?

We hope that throughout this year every day a new power will join Islam, to make our heads, our leaders rise up, and to make the heads, the leaders of the enemies of truth, enemies of Heavenly Beings, fall down. Ask from Allah day by day to show you and to give you... Ya Allah, grant us the Sultan of Shariat from Your Divine Presence on earth... Fatiha.

Mankind has been Honoured with a Divine Trust

The way of our Tarigah is Sohbet, and we are in need of guidance. The first guide of the Ummah was the most Praised, Respected and Glorified Servant of Allah Almighty, Sayyidina Muhammad sws. | am asking from my GrandShaykh to grant us a good understanding of who Rasulu’llah sws is, who he was...

There is a saying that Arabs used also before Islam: ‘Who never keeps something valuable with himself, is going to be an enemy of the one who does.’ And that is a kind of foolishness, because we are not all created the same. The meaning, or method, for the creation of man is different from other creatures, and man is the Creator’s most perfect creature. Those who were not granted that honour, became his enemies.

In the beginning Allah Almighty gave the good tidings of the creation of His Caliph to the Angels. They were innocent and they said: "If You like to make a new creature, we accept. If You are making that creature to be on the same level with us, we accept. If You make his honour more than our honour, we also accept..."

Shaitan wanted that honour for himself. When Adam a.s. had that quality, and not Shaitan, he became the number one enemy of him and his children. He was very angry, saying: "| am not accepting that one. If the rank and position of this new creature is going to be above mine, | am going to be disobedient." And to be obedient was an order from Allah Almighty. Shaitan had given his oath, his promise to Allah Almighty, as everyone promised to Allah on the Day of Promises, that: "We are going to be Your servants...” But he didn’t accept any Prophet, trying to keep every honour for himself. He was saying: "If | am granted to be above that new creature, | am not going to accept him, | will have no respect for him, and | will never leave him to live or to stand up. If he is going to be above me in his rank, | will go against the command of the Lord of Heavens. That honour was for me, but it was taken from me and given to that new creature." And man is maybe the weakest one among the creatures, but he has been granted that honour from Allah Almighty. Shaitan was so angry... So when he lost, or he wasn’t granted that honour from Allah Almighty, he became an enemy to Adam and his children. That was the reason. And that same characteristic from people to each other is taking them away. That worst characteristic of our egos is to be jealous or envious, and the main source of that is Shaitan. Whoever is jealous or envious has a part of Shaitan, and he is not pure... Even though he had been given everything, Shaitan is never happy with mankind. So he is moving among ignorant groups of people, making them to attack and give trouble to people everywhere. And he is laughing... we are in a time of darkness, ignorance, bad characteristics and faults; a time of cruelty and injustice. And all these things also happened before the coming of Islam.

17|Bridge to Eternity Shaitan is the number one trouble-maker, and first class at harming people. Mankind would be in peace, if there was no Shaitan. He is making people to go against the commands of Allah. Every time his teaching to mankind is: "Don’t be obedient, live your life, you are coming to this life only once, there is no life after death." He is making people to refuse anything from spirituality, like the Wahabi-people. Their mind is only for materialism. They try to make a lot of gold and silver, to be the richest, but to be the richest never gives any benefit. Then they become seventy, eighty years old, and everything is finished. And Shaitan is cheating and kicking people...

Therefore, if you have some good characteristics and good actions, some animals will object and say: "Why has he been granted that honour and he has only two legs, while we have four legs? How can it be? And we don’t know how they are walking with two legs." They didn’t expect that a person could walk like that. Therefore Shaitan was very surprised and sorry to see people run with two legs. So he made a declaration: "Perfection for man is to have four legs. Two legs is imperfect." And he said: "I will try to take them under my command and make them four legs- but they must not see this. If they see themselves with four legs, they will leave me and escape, and | must keep them. They have two legs, and | am giving them two more legs to make it four. But still they should doubt if those new things that they are wearing are going to be for them forever, or if those two-leg people riding on horses should come to take away their freedom!”

There should be wars, fighting’s and troubles throughout this year; wars, which will not give any honour to people, and which are only for destroying everything and to kill as much as possible...

Therefore when people lose their values they become enemies of those who have. And mankind’s creation is special, so if people look to each other with a superficial look, they will never be successful in their life. They must understand the real value which they have been granted from Allah Almighty. Shaitan lost it, and therefore he became an enemy to the Children of Adam, who have that honour, and he is always trying to take away that Divine Trust from our hearts and leave us like animals. That is the trouble going on now in our days, because Shaitan is saying one thing, but keeping something else in his heart, asking to be number one over all creatures. And he became a first-class enemy for every Prophet, especially for the Seal of Prophets Sayyidina Muhammad sws.

Mankind now, step by step, little by little, is asking to come to the level of animals, because they think that on that level they should have absolute freedom in their life. This is the first idea or idol of the new generation: to make an absolute freedom for themselves and their descendants. Therefore in the coming days unexpected events should come to man, and he should wonder and ask: "What is happening, what is going on?

This year thousands of people are going to die at unexpected times. This means that the young generation should be in danger, because they never take any care for, and never worry about, worshipping Allah Almighty. Who is not taking care of Allah’s Holy Commands may suddenly die. And death is the heaviest penalty for mankind...

18| Bridge to Eternity May Allah forgive us and bless you... We are asking Divine Support for destroying the shaitanic Sultanate and we hope that it will be soon... We hope that it happens next Muharram... Fatiha.

Depend on Allah

A man always likes to depend on someone. The most powerful people that you know are rich people... they think that their richness supports them. But sometimes you see multi- millionaires’ and their huge richness doesn’t give them any enjoyment any more because old age came to them and that richness can’t give them any defence.

Therefore you must not ask for some kind of power that you are using, and that you invented, no. It is so difficult for technology to defend you. And also, a person who is asking for peace and satisfaction in his life must look for some land, some place, that is going to belong to him only, and does not have any partners...

Meded, Ya Sultan-ul-Awliya, Meded, Ya Rijalu’llah... We are asking forgiveness from Allah Almighty and we are also giving endless Shukr to Him. As much as we are giving more Shukr, more honour and lights, Nur, are coming to us... And if a person is not saying Shukr, even if he goes to the Jamaat for morning-prayer and sits up until Dhuhr, up until evening and night-prayer, it will not be easy for that person to keep his ego and try to fulfil his oath that he gave to Allah the Day of Promises. All of us gave our oath to Allah, saying: "We are promising to You that we shall be Your servants for Your Heavenly, Divine Service..."

Now everyone must look, what his intention is. For what and for whom is he working? For which purpose is he running from here to there? All of you must try to think about it. Everything that is not for the sake of Allah is going to finish. Even if you spend millions of Dollars... Allah knows everything... He knows that the Children of Adam in the 2oth century never follow His Orders. No country is following the Orders of Heavens, meaning the Orders of Allah. Everyone is trying to make something according to his own thinking and his own knowledge. Everything that they are teaching in universities is nonsense; all the subjects. Everything is only based on materialism. They deny all spirituality, everything beyond this world, and everything after this life...

Anyone, who never thinks about Divine Service, must be brought down. Even if he is the richest person on earth it is not going to be of any benefit to him. Therefore try to depend on Allah Almighty. If you depend on Him and He supports you, no harm will come to you here or hereafter. But someone who is not following even the most simple commands of Islam should fall down, and be taken away quickly... One of those commands is to pray two Rakaats after making Wudhu or Ghussl, but people now have forgotten it.

In the 3rd millennium every shaitanic thing which they are using now should be destroyed. Shaitan is making everything horrible and terrible for mankind. His teachings cause people

to think wrongly, to intend wrongly, and to do wrong things...

Therefore there is a Divine Trap for those who think that there won‘t be any Heavenly Involvement on earth any more, and who are saying: "We just threw away the Kings and the

191Bridge to Eternity Sultans. Now we are the owners of everything which we took from them; it is for us, not for them any more.”

One intention may save people, and one word may cause mankind to fall down, so that if people are not paying attention to their Lord’s teachings and orders, everything is going to be upset, the head will be at the bottom, and the feet will be at the top... And everything may be taken from you, so that you are not able to taste anything from all those kinds of Niamat, Divine Favours, like vegetables and fruits. You will ask to eat, but there will be no taste, nothing... trying the food, but nothing in your mouth is helping you to digest it...

Step by step we are approaching the Divine Presence... Some people through their love and respect for Allah Almighty even have a baby, to make Him happy and pleased with them... Ask in the new century for the best things, the best people from Allah Almighty. Anything that you are asking for must be the best, the most expensive, the most valuable. Don’t ask for straw like that person. But you may ask for a horse instead, and then the Sultan may order: "Give that servant of Allah Almighty from my treasures... Whatever he is asking for, give him double, and give something for his horse also.”

So if you depend on Allah you should be victorious here and hereafter. If you are asking to depend on a man, then one day he is going to die and your pillar is falling down. If a person depends on his money, one day that money is going to vanish and it may be lost in one night, and then he can’t do anything with it any more. Ask from Allah Almighty for a safe place for the coming days with good ones around you, so wild animals won’t be ale to touch you. You may keep yourself and Allah Almighty is protecting you also.

May Allah forgive us and bless you. From this holy month Muharram some unexpected events will begin to appear, and chaos will increase day by day... May Allah protect our souls, may He protect our families, our children, and make who is alive to be good servants... We are all servants, may Allah accept us... Wa min Allah at taufiq... Fatiha.

20|Bridge to Eternity NEWS FOR THE FUTURE OF MANKIND

Run to Find Your Real Identity

There are going to be unexpected events. Terrible, horrible, and fearful events, that no one can bring an explanation for... And there should be Divine Purposes and Wisdoms in those events. If one event is going to happen, after it there should be so many events coming immediately or suddenly... Up until today so many expected events have come, but now and in the future, even if people are thinking about coming events, everything should be unexpected. And this is a new beginning. A new period for Dunya is coming now...

From a very confused and complex life people should come back to a very simple life, as it was before, at the beginning. Life has reached a top point, with countless burdens and efforts for man, who in the 2oth century has reached to the height of his wishes. But suddenly a wave of unexpected power will come and destroy everything that people have reached to during two hundred years or more by science and technology- suddenly it all will vanish and disappear...

Therefore it is a time that people must try to get away from difficulties to a restful, comfortable and simple life. The complex life now in our days is bringing countless difficulties, because modern science and its inventions are causing people to cut themselves off from nature. That break between man and nature makes people very strange outwardly, as well as in their inner life. Their appearance is ugly, and their inner thinking or understanding is nonsense, useless, terrible...

This is a punishment from the Lord of the Heavens because man separated, or ran away from, nature to an artificial life. Everything that surrounds people is artificial, and all artificial things are against nature. Nature never likes artificiality, and artificiality never likes nature... they are fighting. Now it is the end of a wild period full of violence... And the main creations of mankind which became rebellious against everything are named science and technology... That is what is happening around the whole world now in our days, and a terrible end is waiting for the rebels...

Big events are coming to destroy everything that makes mankind artificial. Technology has made people into artificial beings, and their real identity has left them. All of them are artificial. And they are also using artificial means, so that they can’t do anything themselves anymore...

Therefore we are saying that man should run back to nature now, to save himself and to find his real identity, because men and women lost their real identities. All of them are dressed in artificial identities. That is why our foolish people here in Turkey use artificial names for themselves, leaving real names... this shows that they are finished...

211Bridge to Eternity Now day by day time is approaching an end that no one can be able to prevent. Everything must run to its last point, last station. The majority of people are going to vanish and finish because of unexpected events which should appear from East and West, from up and down, causing people to die or lose their mind. People are not going to find what they want to eat and drink, and they are going to lose their physical being. People will try to save themselves in two ways: first, they will try to save their physical being, and second, they will try to reach to their spiritual being. They must make a separation, not for one side to involve in the other side, no. And they must give each side what it needs.

Therefore it is important now for everyone to try to be sometimes with their own selves, because people have been taken away from their real identities. It is now a big obligation for you to ask to come back to your real personality, to find your identity. Man doesn’t know who he is, if he is an animal or an angel... wondering, but he never finds out what is his personality, his identity. This is terrible and very dangerous...

You must try daily for some minutes to be with yourself, to come to yourself. This is going to be a foundation for the life of mankind on earth after the year 2000, in the 3rd millennium...

Everyone must know what is his real value and must follow a new way after the destruction of humanities’ qualities. And human beings, if they are not reaching in this very short period the special and valuable qualities that were granted to them by their Creator, they are going to sink down... If they quickly run and find them, they are going to be saved... May Allah forgive us... Fatiha.

The Tunnel to Pass

What does the happiness or sadness of a human being depend on? It depends on whether he is obedient to Allah’s Commands or not, respecting Him, or denying Him and following Shaitan...

All Prophets have taught this and it is repeated at every Juma, Friday prayer, everywhere in the world to remind people: "Oh people, be obedient to Allah, respect Him, fear Him, because He can see you everywhere. Wherever you are, you are under His Eyes, Nazar. Protect your heart, don’t let evil enter in it. Among the creatures you have been given the highest rank, and Allah has chosen you for His Service, and that you may govern the world as His Deputies, according to His Laws. But you are throwing away this honour, and you want to make your own laws... what kind of Pharaohs have you become?”

And the world is getting darker day by day... Now we are in Muharram, who knows what the coming year will bring to us... For 1419 years the unbelievers have been trying to finish Islam, but 1420 has come, and we will meet the Christian year 2000 during it. We don’t know what will happen in 1421, or if there will be more years to come. Only after 2000 their counting will stop, and then we will count according to the Hijri calendar, the Islamic calendar. Maybe by next year half of humanity will not be alive any more...

Allah is saying that He is giving the chance to rebellious man to remember Him, but people are misusing His generosity and make every bad thing even worse. The Holy Prophet had

22|Bridge to Eternity been asking from Allah Almighty that his Nation, his Ummah, might not be punished like previous nations by something coming from the skies or from the earth. So Allah Almighty said: "| will punish some of you through others of you..."

We shall see so much Bela, misfortune, this year... Oh people, you must understand the wisdom of your creation and existence. Life is short, death is waiting for us, Akhirat is in front of us, and we will have to give an answer to the Angels of the Grave...

It is as if the whole world is in a tunnel which looks like an X : it is getting more and more narrow, and from a certain point on it is getting wider and wider up to the eternal... Only spiritually strong people will pass through this tunnel. Materialist people won’t be able to make it, the power of their batteries will be finished. Only the spiritual power of the soul can help you...

Allah Almighty has ordered us to read the Holy Quran, to make Dhikr and Salawat, to strengthen our souls and to connect to the spiritual world. But we are not understanding, we are misunderstanding Islam... The orders and duties in Islam are only for connecting you with the spiritual world. You have to know what worship is for.

Only because of your soul, which is coming from Malakut, may you be called human beings. According to your physical body you are animals... You must recognize your value. We should try to control our nafs, ego, but we are doing everything to please it, serving it...

You must try to shine with the light of your soul. This light has been granted to you from the Heavens through the Holy Prophet sws. Search for this light!

If not, so many things will happen this year... May Allah keep us on the path of truth. Keep yourselves and learn to control your ego, so that you may be able to rise to Malakut... Fatiha.

Banks

We are in a tunnel, and until we pass through it, it will get more and more narrow. Then, when Jesus Christ is coming, it will get wider and wider. Only the one whose foundation is Haqq will stand on his feet. Every Batil will be torn down. If a building has even only one stone of Haram, this will be the reason for its destruction...

This system, all the banks, will break down. It is a Jewish invention... Over night all paper- money will lose its value, and only those who have gold may save their wealth. Before, for one piece of gold we got 1 Turkish Lira. Now you must give 25 million Turkish Lira for one piece of Reshat-Gold. The paper is here, but its value is there, in the bank. That is how they are cheating people... And the Jews are buying all the gold that the banks put on the market...

But it is Allah’s plan now that, day by day, Kufr should break down.

23|1Bridge to Eternity “There is no Compulsion in Religion...”

You can't rule people by force... Allah in His Wisdom is saying in the Holy Quran: "La ikra’a fi din... There is no compulsion, no force, in religion. Whoever wants to believe, may believe. Who doesn’t want to believe, he doesn’t have to believe. Both the believer and the unbeliever will return to Me. Don’t force anyone to believe, because he will not really be a believer.”

This is a big wisdom. In the 2oth century they have tried to force people into so many things, but at the moment that the pressure was released, people returned to their old condition. It is the nature of man to be Muslim- you can’t separate them from that. As much as you try to paint over gold to cover it, still the gold remains gold under that paint. Keep this wisdom. The conscience is calling out, the inner feeling is guiding to goodness. Only the nafs, the ego, is forcing us to evil, trying to paint us... but still there is that gold underneath.

Really, man is going on the straight path towards Allah. When babies make movements in the womb of their mothers, they try to escape the Angels that come according to Allah’s Command to make them to leave the womb. So the Angels say to Allah: "Oh Allah, Your servant is disobedient, we can’t take him out." Then Allah’s Tajalli, a spiritual manifestation, is descending on the baby, and it falls into Sajda, coming out of the womb like that! And at the end of our life our soul will come to make Sajda before its Lord again. Therefore keep making Sajda to Allah Almighty. It is important! Without Sajda there is danger for you- you may fall into the hands of Shaitan, making Sajda to him instead...

Shaitanic Teachings

May Allah take Shaitan far away from us... Those who get away from Shaitan, or Shaitan is getting away from them are lucky people. There are no more troubles for them. Troubles exist only because of him. He is a first-class trouble-maker. As long as you accept him and follow him, there must be troubles for you. If you don't want to fall into troubles, if you would like your life to be safe here and hereafter, don’t follow Shaitan... finished. It is so easy.

Shaitan is the number one enemy of mankind. He never likes you, but shows himself to you as your advisor. He came to the first Man and his Lady and entered Paradise, where they were living in full enjoyment and safety, and full blessings were on them. What more could they ask? And Shaitan came and said: "Come and follow me, | shall take you to a much more joyful place." When the first Man and his Lady followed him and took one step, a Divine Curse fell on them. And instead of enjoyment came sadness, instead of peace came fighting, instead of a restful and comfortable life came a life full of miseries and sufferings. Such is Shaitan’s advice...

He always comes to people and says: "Come and follow me, | will take you to another, much

better stage of life, and you may reach more comfort, enjoyment and happiness, more wealth and health." And he is a liar. What can be better than Paradise?

24|Bridge to Eternity When believers are passing from this life to real life in Paradise, their enjoyments there are increasing every day, not coming down and getting less and reaching zero as in this world. In Paradise your enjoyment, respect, lights, knowledge and wisdom in the Divi
