bandirma
province
was
my
service place; as
after this I came Istanbul. I have been serving an imam made my military service a
of the Aga Mosque. Allah, the most high means for unification
with my holiness father. In Bandirma province I have had the opportunity to meet with him. When I performing my military duty in Bandirma we used to go to perform our Friday prayer in Haydar Cavus mosque where the shrine of holiness Ali Riza Bezzaz the grand Sufi master, situated next to it. It had a distance of 20 minutes on foot in there. While we were going to their I was warning my friend not to mention that I am an Islamic scholar. Among them I had a student of mine named Hafiz Osman (a person can recite the whole Quran verses by heart), who leaked the information them that I am a hodja and I should give them a sermon. After this they made me giving a sermon to them. This conducts produced an intimacy with them. Actually, I am a shy person towards the foreing ones but with my attendant of the mosque if there a with the grand Sufi acquantes I grand sufi would develop a sincere intimacy. I asked the master there? I did this for I had had interested master. The responded me there but that they had not a grand sufi master of the
they had had in Istanbul and he was the successor burried grand sufi master. I asked to be
informed the burried grand master and they did show his grave. I went that grave. I recited some Quran verses and spoke in a humble way such as : I did not come here as an Islamic scholar but as a humble servant; accept me. Till that time it never happened to me to utter such a word but the omnipotent made me spoken like this manner. At that time I was seized. Again we went to perform our Friday prayer in the same mosque. After the prayer I noticed man performing on the right side of the mosque a pray (names) together two
persons. His illuminated face and eyes of kings attracted me. I kept asking for each departing person from mosque who was this person and nobody knew him. It was my habit to run away when I see a master of Islamic teaching. But for my surprise I did not feel to escape from him. Then I began to wait the imam of the mosque Sir Fahri. I thought that he was the person to know that person. I asked him; I was informed that he was the grand Sufi chief of Istanbul in their path. I requested him to make me meet with him. He responded that now it was daylight and for my going there and at night time he would make me introduce with him. At that time it was the time of forbidden. Turkey made a prey for infidels. All things were forbidden related religion. To have beard, to wear shalwar, turban were forbidden;
robe,
outer
garment
of
women
was
forbidden.
There were severe interdiction against Islamic safe altitude. When my Holliness Father attempted to come here Bandirma from Istanbul; due to was being late for Friday prayer because of vapor late departure. He performed his Friday prayer outside of the mosque. Why? To make Mahmut to find him. It was Allah, the most high will. After prayer we went to a military base. In the night time we communed in a house to see holy father. While we were waiting for him we were informed that he would not come; we returned back.
In that night holy father was in the house of Sir Ali, the sweat seller. In hope of seeing him we came for the morning prayer; but holy very might late act be of morning prayer; them and we father was there to in the junkman Sir Abdullah. They were in the thought willing women we behind went not
breach the rules ritual and went back. In that day afternoon reached Holiness Father thank to Allah, the most high. We went Holiness Father with acquaintances. I said them ever mention that I am an Islamic scholar. I was afraid of not being able to answer his possible questions on Islam. But in secret they gave a paper informing my case. He used to ask many he questions. Then it was happening as usual and
started asking about. First with the easy ones and getting more and more hardest ones. When it was the time for harder ones I lost my mind. As a grace of Allah, the most high we felt intimacy each other. Instead of escaping from him I am affiliated in a firm manner to him. He told me that If only you came to me ten years before that I would serve you. He meant that he could give me spiritual shape. After the meeting we returned to the barracks. Holiness and his Father with his Pilgrimated wife daughter Sister Zahide
were leaving to go his father-in-law in Inegols Edebey village. We committed like that. I left him but I could not forget him. My heart longs fiercely; after one, two three days still was my heart longing fiercely. I am telling myself my heart beating they went possible. for them but they were absent for My going there was not I could not endure anymore. Inegol.
At last
There was an old person working as a clerk of the regiment, Sir Osman I went him. I told him write me a permission paper so that I might take a free day. He did so. When I suddenly understood that he did not go. I was making my mind like that. He was going to Inebol. I went to his room, as I was kissing his hand he told me that; Mahmut you should not have left me so many times! This word pleased my should so gently still I am feeling it.
At that time they prepared a table for eating. There were many nice foods. We began to eat. Holiness Master Mahmud When he asks it was started to question me. not easy to answer his Nur surah,
verse 60; And women of post-menstrual age who have no desire for marriage - there is no blame upon them for putting aside their outer garments [but] not displaying adornment. But to modestly refrain [from that] is better for them. And Allah, the most high is Hearing and Knowing. This means the women of post-menstrual age who have
no desire for marriage - there is no blame upon them for putting aside their outer garments [but] not displaying adornment. But to dress like a young woman is better.
Allah, the most high? He is saying that but there putting garment and but also saying that not leaving their garment is better for them. Poor Mahmut, ponder and ponder; how should I know? I was thinking Holiness Father told them have the over and also the others broke eating and began to think the same matter. continue to eat he should think over it. I could no response. I said, Holiness Father I dont answer please you guide us. Then he explained
like this when we were in the directorship of religious affairs of Istanbul, we were asked regarding covering the teeth? Whether to cover a tooth is legible or not? If the person becomes septic after being operated and asking the question we used to tell him to not dismantle the cover. But if he had not covered the tooth we did not give him permission. The reasoning of this is if you permit for making a cover for man who has decayed tooth the other man will take a sample and he would cover his/her healthy tooth may be for aesthetic motive. As a matter of fact in the Hanefi sect covering the decayed tooth is permitted. In the verse Allah, the most high is so
permitted to putting aside the other garment and immediately saying it is better not to do youth and make them get means; elders should be a good example for the accustomed to wear it. For the young women might imitate the elder ones. We must close the mouth of corruption.
Ali Haydar Efendi, within his capacity explained and entrusted to the successor the secret of sovereignty finest detail. and realm of being saint, to the
My holiness father's wife as a natural desire was willing to entrust the saintship mandate children. My Holiness Father's to prove that it is
When they called the name of Mahmud Efendi he immediately appeared in their presence saying yes Sir! Sons Ali Haydar Efendi told that : "My Father and Reverend Mahmud Effendi would remain head to head during the mid-morning for a long of time. He said once, "My son! You see, I will transfer everything to him. But gradually I am doing it in order to keep him under my observation during the spiritual process. Mind can not tolerate the acquisition the actuality of the spiritual realm. "My father would receive some sheikhs in situation. ecstasy they
would recover. Holiness Master Mahmud Effendi, with the means private conversations and also with the means of the famous Sufi books he such as Masnavi, Mektubat, Reahat, such as the Risale-I Kudsiye which are full of wisdom, him had seen prepared When he my son based on the lore of those books.
and studying " to encourage him Mahmud you will not find enough time
realization of the magnitude of Imam Holiness Rabbani I dare to say that, Reahat may abc of it. Reverend Mahmud Effendi informed us saying: hold holding my hand. Truth is poor man's hand mean hold "Holiness Ali Haydar Efendi said, "who will Mahmoud's hand mean that which hold this
the Rizal Bezzaz holiness as hands. Thus, like a rings in chain it will reach the Prophet 'e (peace be upon him). Here we call it able to transfer water the from a true genuine and spring on the be righteous hand. Again he used to say, I say to be mountain it needs village water pipes
attached to each other like a chain row.
