The way of Türkmen is the way of halal.

I hope my eyes shall see the good things!

What is bad is obvious and has been specified.

A wise man was asked:

“Where does the world begin?”

“At your two eyes!” he replied.

Allah has given eyes to living creatures, humans and animals. The eyes should see! The duty of the eyes is to see, but what and how to see? This is the most critical issue in life.

One person may see blood while looking at milk on the one hand, and another may see milk while looking at blood on the other.

One person may see the beginning of the world while looking at fire on the one hand, and another may see the end of the world while looking at fire on the other.

Indeed, ideally you should look at the world, humanity, and life from Allah’s perspective. But there is nobody who can see or conceive Allah. Thus you should judge events by means of the belief and justice that Allah put in your heart.

The Türkmen does not easily say bad things about anyone. He says, “The one who has deficiencies also has surpluses.” He also says, “A man created by Allah is at least as good as me.”

Mälik Şah was asked:

“You are always calm; those who meet you leave here happy. There is nobody who has seen you who leaves angry. How can you manage to be like this?”
