Toute réunion qui n’est faite au nom Dieu afin que nous lui offrions notre plus grand respect ou si elle n’est pas faite pour l’honneur du plus bénis des serviteurs, l’Envoyé de Dieu (Paix et Bénédiction sur lui), une telle réunion n’a pas de valeur.
"Après le décès de Cheikh Sharafouddin, j'attendais une ouverture pour émigrer de la Turquie, j'étais dans en séclusion dans la mosquée à côté du tombeau de mon Cheikh, priant une nuit auparavant Fajr.
The Hodja's first wife had recently died. The state of single blessedness was not to Hodja's taste. So he decided to marry again. With some help from his neighbours he had no difficulty in finding a suitable widow.
Exactly seven days after the wedding the woman gave birth to a baby. Hodja immediately ran to the market, bought some paper, pencils, books and on his return put these objects beside the newborn baby. His wife seemed surprised and asked :
- But Effendi, surely the baby won't have any use for these things for a long time yet! Why the hurry?
- You are mistaken my dear, replied Hodja. A baby that arrives in seven days instead of nine months, is sure to need these things in a couple of weeks at most.
