Istanbul has become a Damascus. We have some of the greatest scholars from the lands of Shaam living in the city. I seriously can't believe I'm not living there! If it was not for my responsibility of teaching here I would definitely be studying there right now. You know what Tasawwuf is? Some of them have nothing. No money, no sustenance and no help. They can barely afford food and drink, and can barely sustain their families. They work day and night teaching, advising, revising and producing the future scholars of this religion without even earning a single penny. Many of them spend days in simplicity and hunger, yet they withstand the urge to give up because they have a mission and a task. They have taken oaths to pass on this religion so with empty pockets and pain in their lives, they leave home every day with smiles hiding their tears because they want to inspire a new generation. They exit from their houses with tranquility because they've been blessed with another day to teach
