Suleiman turned to serve as a source of comfort after his company faced controversy. He committed to his Sheykh and spiritual order by becoming more deeply involved in their global mission. This pursuit was driven by love and honor to spread the teachings of Sahibul Seyf and promote love for Allah, His Messenger (AS), and the AwliyaAllah.
Suleiman’s first mission took him to a rural village in Africa, where the effects of corruption were more immediate and profound. An entire community was trapped in a cycle of poverty due to unfair trade practices and exploitation. With a team of volunteers, Suleiman introduced sustainable farming practices to empower the villagers. He helped cultivate their lands, showing them how to leverage organic farming to boost yield, quality, and profitability.
Their work continued. Suleiman also set up a cooperative, ensuring the farmers received fair prices for their produce. In doing so, they managed to chip away at the chains of corruption that bound these farmers, liberating them from oppression.
The European leg of Suleiman’s mission was just as challenging. He found himself amid a refugee crisis, with thousands of people displaced by conflict and seeking asylum. The system was strained, and refugees were often treated with suspicion and hostility. This was the breeding ground of Sheytan’s influence, where fear and division overshadowed humanity and compassion.
Through dialogue, advocacy, and collaboration with local governments and NGOs, Suleiman championed the rights of these refugees. He and others worked tirelessly to highlight their plight, reminding the world of their shared humanity and responsibility toward each other.
Suleiman always carried the teachings of Sahibul Seyf with him wherever he went. These teachings were about standing up against oppression and corruption and bringing back faith, unity, and love within Muslim communities. The goal was to fight against the negative influences of sheytan by spreading compassion, understanding, and performing good deeds.
While Suleiman had initially feared the downfall of his company, he found his purpose in service. The challenge had been the catalyst for his transformation. As he walked the path his Sheykh had shown him, he felt a sense of fulfillment that surpassed his previous life’s material successes.
Yet, the battle was far from over. The world was vast, and the shadows of corruption and oppression loomed large. Suleiman knew the journey was long and fraught with trials. But with every step he took, he carried the lessons from his Sheykh, Lokman Efendi, Sahibul Seyf’s teachings, and insha’Allah, the blessings of Sheykh Mevlana. He was not alone in his mission; this knowledge fueled his resilience and resolve.
