In this heartfelt sohbet, Şeyh Bahauddin reminds us that whenever a great power gathers, every Muslim is called to stand in its defence. He frames this duty not as a matter of personal preference but as an obligation rooted in the Qur’an and the prophetic tradition: when the Ummah’s future is at stake, we must set aside private interests and unite for the collective cause.
Şeyh Bahauddin identifies Turkey as the sole “castle” that still stands on Earth. He explains that if this bastion were to fall, the Muslim world would fragment into competing currents—Salafis, Wahhabis, Shi‘as, apostates, or outright deniers—leaving no coherent Islamic identity. For this reason, supporting Turkey’s leadership, embodied by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, becomes a spiritual responsibility. The Sheikh urges believers to offer their wealth, families, and even personal ambitions in service of the Prophet’s teachings and the preservation of the Ummah.
The talk also warns against placing trust in non‑Muslim powers, describing such assistance as fleeting and self‑serving. Şeyh Bahauddin calls for a return to authentic Sunnah, rejecting innovations that dilute true devotion. By grounding ourselves in the heritage of our Ottoman ancestors—whom he proudly names “our fathers”—the community can sustain the spirit of Islam and protect the final fortress that Turkey represents.
We invite all seekers to deepen their connection with this enduring legacy. Discover further guidance in our digital library, where Şeyh Bahauddin’s teachings are preserved for study and reflection.
