In this short talk, Sheikh Bahauddin Adil Efendi turns our hearts toward the ultimate source of love: the Divine. The recording opens with the chant “La ilaha illa Allah… La ilaha illa Allah, la ilaha illa Allah, hak Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.” By repeating the declaration of God’s oneness and invoking the Prophet’s name, the Sheikh reminds us that true love begins with sincere remembrance (dhikr).
Divine love, he explains, is not an abstract idea but a living experience that shapes every step we take, whether we are climbing the stairs at home or walking through a busy street. Each breath becomes a chance to affirm that there is no god but Allah, and each moment of mindfulness draws us nearer to the mercy embodied by Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Sheikh’s call, “Haydi gözlerini sök” (“Open your eyes”), invites us to wake from spiritual sleep and see the world through love and gratitude.
From this short reflection we take three reminders:
- Begin every action with dhikr: saying “La ilaha illa Allah” grounds us in the Divine Presence.
- Invoke the Prophet’s name: remembering Muhammad (peace be upon him) opens our hearts to compassion and mercy.
- Wake up consciously: let the call to “open your eyes” inspire a constant awareness of God’s love around us.
If you feel drawn to explore divine love further, you are welcome to join our live meetings, where seekers gather for dhikr and study and can take Bayʿah on the Sufi path.
