Twenty years had passed since Suleiman transformed from a man driven by Dunya (the World) to a man striving for Mawla (Paradise). He was no longer just a humble murid but a beacon of hope for many. Under the guidance of Sheykh Lokman Efendi, he followed Sahibul Seyf’s path, fighting against corruption and oppression and standing for justice and righteousness. Suleiman’s journey was his own, but it inspired others.
Suleiman’s faith and devotion enabled him to accomplish remarkable feats. He supported communities, advocated for the oppressed, and fought against societal injustices. Although the tasks were daunting and the journey was challenging, his belief in Allah and the teachings of his Sheykh always guided him.
Suleiman faced many challenges, but he always kept sight of his purpose. He fought every battle and overcame every obstacle to stay committed to his mission, guided by his Sheykh. His journey embodied Sheykh Lokman Efendi’s teachings, emphasizing that anyone can stand up against the forces of sheytan and their ego with proper guidance and an unbreakable spirit. Sheykh Lokman Efendi once said, “We seek refuge in Allah from sheytan and ask for strength from the Owner of everything, not from ourselves. We ask in His name, BismillahirRahmanirRahim.”
Suleiman’s story is more than just a tale of spiritual growth and personal transformation; it is a powerful testament to the change one can bring about with a purpose-driven life. He was an ordinary man who, guided by his faith and Sheykh, became an extraordinary force against Sheytan’s influence.
Suleiman’s story underscores the power of purpose. He transformed his life and, in doing so, inspired countless others to seek their path toward honor and resilience. He was proof that every battle against corruption and oppression begins with an individual who dares to make a change. His story serves as a beacon, guiding us to realize that if we align our lives with a greater purpose, we can also bring about significant change.
