THE JOURNEY OF LOVE

I bear witness that there is no deity other than God...

and I bear witness again that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.

Stop!

Minberci Hasan...

is innocent!

I already knew he was innocent.

The murderer...

is Sari Halil!

Oh, thank God!

Qadi Effendi has released Minberci Hasan, my sheikh.

All praise is due to God alone.

Today, not water but sherbet should be given to everyone!

Welcome, Qadi Effendi.

Thank you, my sheikh.

Have a seat.

Sheikh? I am just a humble mason, Qadi Effendi.

You're being humble by saying you're not a sheikh.

But I know the truth.

I seek refuge in God from feigned humility.

My name is Tapduk Emre.

I build walls.

You say you are illiterate.

But I know you are knowledgeable.

You are being humble by saying you're not a sheikh...

but now I know who you are.

Qadi Effendi, I do not know who I am or what I do.

But I know I am not a sheikh.

I am just a servant among servants.

Whoever comes up and claims he is a sheikh...

bear in mind that it's an owl standing between you and your faith.

With its ominous voice...

it tries to prevent you from hearing God's words.

Whenever and wherever you see that ominous bird, run away.

You don't have your men with you.

So it seems you didn't come to raid our humble abode.

So tell me, what do you want from us?

If you do not mind...

I'd like us to continue our conversation.

I'd like to be one of your disciples.

Do I have something...

that I don't see due to my blindness, son?

You, of all people, have received the best of education...

in the best of madrasas.

You are a great qadi.

You know all kinds of science.

You know about hadith, sharia, logic, and philosophy...

you know about mathematics...

and maybe even astronomy.

I don't know what I can teach you.

Even if you demand...

I don't know anything that I can teach you.

What would a Qadi Effendi like you...

do here amongst the lowlife, homeless, dervishes...

who are in need of help?

I only know one thing to teach you...

if you would like to hear it.

Go and do your job justly in court.

Be fair.

What else is needed in the world if there is equality, Qadi Efendi?

Qadi Effendi, for God's sake, please save me...

please divorce me from this man!

I've had enough. He drinks and gets drunk, and beats me. He always beats me!

Don't believe her, Qadi Effendi. This woman is a liar!

Verdict.

Daughter of Munevver, Ayse...

will remain the wife of Numan...

son of Yoruk Ali Pasha.

Ertegun Effendi, you say that this man robbed you...

but you have neither proof nor a witness.

This old man is demented, Qadi Effendi!

I was in Beldibi village at the time. Gokhan is my witness.

That is right, Qadi Effendi. I saw him in the village.

This boy is a false witness.

Let me be the judge of that, Ertegun Effendi!

The case was closed and the decision made, brother.

Why are you taking us now?

Qadi Hazrat has the answer.

-Have they arrived? -They have, Qadi Hazrat.

Does your husband still beat you?

No, Qadi Effendi!

It was you who declared my name clear of this matter.

Is this a new complaint?

Ayse Hatun...

does your husband still beat you?

Well, he does, Qadi Effendi.

Does he still drink?

I do not, sir, I swear, I do not.

Clerk Effendi...

change the judgement we once made here.

It's about the trial we had before.

the case of Numan Effendi and Ayse Hatun.

for beating his wife and not abandoning his drinking habit...

he is to be hit with a stick 80 times...

and if he repeats his mistakes...

he shall receive the same punishment again!

Don't, please, sir!

Do not, Qadi Efendi, forgive me!

Officer!

Have him hit 80 times with a stick!

Peace be upon you!

And upon you, Qadi Effendi. Welcome.

Your shoes are very nice.

My mother got them from a Greek seller, Qadi Effendi.

-I will call my master... -Stop!

I don't need him.

I need you.

I'm not worthy of your time, Qadi Hazrat.

-Great Qadi... -Shut up!

I do not need idle words.

Tell me, where is Yalcin, son of Kerim?

I do not know, sir. How would I know?

My master doesn't let me out of the shop.

If you like, I can send the officer with his men...

and you can plead to the court.

How do I make sure that you won't imprison me if I tell you?

I will imprison you if you do not tell me.

But if you tell me where Kerimoglu is...

and compensate Ertegun Effendi's loss...

I will forgive you.

-Kerimoglu! -Qadi Hazrat!

Is this where you hide the things you extorted from the old man?

I didn't extort anyone, Qadi Hazrat.

You said it. You told us that Ertegun Effendi was falsely accusing me.

Since you are a child, your mother bought you the shoes, eh?

I swear, I didn't extort anyone, Qadi Effendi!

You said it, you said I was innocent.

And now, I am saying you are not.

Either you hand me the things you extorted from that old man...

or you will go to jail.

Are you raiding our house now, Qadi Effendi?

-You make us suffer... -Wait, wait.

Are these your belongings?

Yes, they are, Qadi Effendi, they are.

Check if there's anything missing.

A bracelet is missing, Qadi Effendi.

He must have used it.

Come to my office, I will give it to you.

No problem, Qadi Effendi.

No problem.

I am sorry.

I didn't handle your case with justice.

I am sorry, Qadi Effendi.

I have talked badly about you. Eventually...

justice has been served. Thank you.

God bless you, son.

Thank you.

Please.

Welcome.

Thank you, Molla Kasim.

You, too, are welcome, fellows.

Welcome, Qadi Effendi.

Thank you, Molla Kasim.

They have come for the sermon.

Even in the winter, they come all the way here.

To be or to die?

To be or to die?

To be or to die?

Today it's a bit crowded. You go and have fun in the kitchen.

Tell Ali Taygu to give you some soup.

Our sheikh never rejects anyone seeking refuge in our lodge.

Fellows, let us be seated.

THE JOURNEY OF LOVE

THIS PROJECT IS BASED ON 'TEZKIREYI HAS' IBRAHIM HAS AND M.TATCI'S COMPILATIONS.

Come on, girls, come on!

We are coming, mother.

We'll be the last ones to have reached there!

Come on, Kira.

Do you have another...

What?

Headscarf.

I do.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Welcome, Veli Effendi.

Thank you, Sheikh.

Welcome, Agas.

Hasn't your brother returned from the war yet, Necip?

He hasn't, sheikh. He sent word from Bilecik...

the war is still going on.

Everyone fights with their demons all the time.

Only old and lazy people like me can't fight their demons.

Where is Aynali?

Without Aynali, I don't feel like talking.

A mirror or Aynali.

They both reflect the truth.

Aynali is our mirror, our mirror is Aynali.

Just reflecting...

what's before them.

What did our Prophet say?

A believer is a mirror to another believer.

Thus, we all need Aynali.

What does a mirror do?

Regardless of the way you treat it...

a mirror always reflects the truth.

It calls a spade a spade.

If there is a defect...

the defect is unmistakably in you.

The mirror does not have a defect.

You cannot rule it.

It won't attempt to rule you.

Even if you worship it for 200 years....

the mirror won't be biased in your favour.

It'll keep reflecting what's before it.

On the contrary, if you ruled the mirror for 200 years...

even if you force it to do what you want...

or teach it your ways...

no, it will always act as a mirror.

"A believer is a mirror to another believer," said our prophet.

Although Commander of the Believers, our prophet wanted a mirror.

Did our blessed Prophet have a flaw?

Prophet Moses and Prophet Jesus mentioned the same thing.

All the words that come from Him advise us one thing.

Find yourself a mirror.

If you see a defect in the mirror...

do not break the mirror.

The defect belongs to you.

What's it got to do with the mirror, o fool?

Look...

without Aynali...

I can't bring myself to talk about the mirror.

Welcome, son.

Come closer.

Come closer.

Sit down.

If you find it agreeable...

I've brought you presents, Your Highness.

Ismail Can!

Take the presents of our guest.

Divide it among your friends.

Tell me, son, what is your wish?

Everywhere is barren because of drought.

Soil has cracked because it's thirsty.

My village...

has neither enough flour to make bread...

nor enough wheat to make flour.

The elderly people in my village told me...

to come here and find Haji Bektash.

They said he'd not send me back empty-handed.

And that he would definitely help...

the poor and the needy.

For my family...

and for my fellow villagers...

I would like some wheat, Your Highness.

Shall I give you himmah...

instead of wheat?

What good is himmah, Your Highness?

My family and my fellow villagers are hungry.

I want wheat.

Would you like me to pray for you...

instead of the wheat you need?

Himmah and prayers don't help with the hunger, Your Highness.

I need wheat.

Ismail Can.

Give our guest a cartload of wheat.

God bless you, Your Highness.

God bless you.

You're welcome.

God bless you.

What a mistake I've made, Your Highness!

You were ready to give me himmah, I kept demanding wheat.

Take your wheat back.

As you suggested before...

pray for me.

You lost your chance, son.

We transferred your heart's key to somebody else.

Go find him.

Your share is with Tapduk Emre.

He has your key.

God is the greatest.

God is the greatest.

I bear witness that there is no deity but God.

Go and ask it Tapduk Emre.

He has your key.

I bear witness that there is no deity but God.

Where have you been?

Did you use praying as a pretext for sleeping?

The guard asked a couple of things about Sari Halil.

-Peace be upon you. -And upon you.

Tell the guard to come here at once.

Qadi Effendi is early this morning.

Have a blessed morning, Qadi Effendi.

Come, Hasan Aga, come.

My resignation letter, officer.

But, Qadi Hazrat...

Do the necessary.

Officer, give me your blessings.

Did you see Qadi Effendi?

He's just left, sir.

Qadi Efendi?

May I come in?

Are you here, Yunus?

I am here, sheikh.

I am here.

Wheat for wheat-seekers, prayer for prayer-seekers.

Whatever you ask for, Haji Bektash gives it to you.

If you are Yunus, where is the Qadi Yunus?

He is dead, sheikh.

So, Qadi Effendi is dead.

How come you are here, then?

I died, sheikh.

I died.

I died and I came here.

Our lodge is for the living not for the dead, Yunus.

Some come to be, some come to die.

One must be alive; both to be and to die.

Our lodge has four walls.

Made of mudbrick.

We built its walls.

Don't think that the lodge performs miracles.

No, no.

You perform miracles.

Do you think I perform miracles?

Do you sincerely think that I perform miracles?

Have you seen me perform miracles ever since you got to know me?

I didn't come here for the lodge.

I came to you, sheikh.

Why did you come to us?

Tell me, what do you want?

To swear allegiance to you.

To be one of your dervishes.

There's a time, place, and a way of doing things.

Just like everything else.

Come after the Asr prayer.

Come and do it.

Kasim!

Yes, my sheikh?

At your service!

You are familiar with Yunus.

He thinks we have something he has lost.

We will host him suitably.

Well...

a student understands another student.

Take him and show him his palace.

There's no deity but God.

There's no deity but God.

There's no deity but God.

There's no deity but God.

It is quite simple.

Not as comfortable as home, of course.

You'll get used to it.

Our sheikh also said, brother.

I was educated in a madrasah, too.

Have you ever been to Kayseri?

No.

I've never been there.

It's very beautiful there.

I was educated in Twin Madrasa.

I was in Kayseri when the Mongols besieged the city.

You should have seen the resistance in Kayseri.

I know.

When there was no man left to fight in the big city...

sisters took up arms against enemy.

With the leadership of Pir Ahi Evran's wife, Mother Fatma...

they scared off the scariest and cruellest...

commander Baycu Noyan.

I talked your head off on the first day.

Not at all.

We'll have plenty of time to talk. You have a rest first.

In our lodge, there's a time, place, and a way of doing things.

Even most basic actions.

Do not worry. You are more than welcome...

to ask me.

Oh, people!

Hear ye! Hear ye!

Commander of the crusaders...

King Louis of France...

died from the plague in the desert of the Maghreb.

Half of his army perished because of the plague, too.

Oh, people...

Hear ye! Hear ye!

Qadi of Nallihan, Yunus Efendi resigned from his post.

He has not done anything significant for 20 years.

At Baghdad or Bukhara, he knows how to have fun!

And now he says, "I want my share".

We've talked about this before, Azmi Aga.

He threatens us with suing us and claiming his share.

Well, he does.

He'll disgrace me before Nallihan!

I can't bear it if people talk about our suing each other.

I have my tradesman reputation to consider!

What will people say?

Well...

Qadi Effendi has already resigned.

And no one has taken the post.

My sheikh...

could you talk to him again?

Repetition reduces the influence of your word, Azmi Aga.

We must find another way.

"God is the greatest"

"I bear witness that there is no deity but God"

Come, Yunus Effendi, come!

Sit down.

Come closer. Don't stay away.

Lift your head. Let me see your eyes.

God bless you.

You say you're here to be a company for us.

Welcome, welcome.

Since you want something...

do your service and take your share.

Well, the dark-hearted tend to misunderstand my meaning.

You won't serve us. You will be of service...

to man and animal...

everything under the sun.

Remember.

Everything carries His light.

Just like the drop is the proof of the sea...

all creation is the proof of His existence, His light.

So, put the Tawheed into practice.

What does that mean?

Those saying, "La ilaha illallah," from their hearts...

those saying, "there's no one above You"...

will walk bearing these words in mind.

This is a matter of feeling.

There are worlds and living things where you step on.

Serve even them.

Now go to your cell...

keep on saying the Tawheed.

La ilaha illallah, la ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah, la ilaha illallah.

Did you hear what happened?

My Sheikh dad has the Qadi as a follower now.

Alhamdulillah.

-I wish him all the best. -Do you want more?

My dear, you worry things that aren't your business...

but you don't worry about the cow whose ayran we drink.

How am I supposed to know what's wrong with the cow?

I'm not vet Tarik Ali Aga.

I'll go now, you have the dhikr, brother.

Do you know the procedure of the Kelime-i Tawheed dhikr?

La ilaha illallah.

Dhikr must always be from the heart to the heart.

La ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah.

La ilaha illallah.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you.

He says bismillah not before the meal...

but before every bite, sheikh.

Qadi Yunus has settled into his cell.

He is our brother now.

Once he wears the cardigan, he can't be a qadi anymore.

We have been brothers...

not just with qadis...

but even with viziers, Gungor Effendi.

Don't be surprised.

Peace be upon you.

-Peace be upon you. -And upon you.

Where is Yunus?

He must be in his cell, sir. We'll call him now.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Did you go to the mill?

I carried the wheat with Dervish Cagri, sheikh.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Enjoy it.

The table is not hungry, Aynali.

You eat it.

Put it in your mouth.

Mesud Aga is my witness, sheikh.

There would be neither a vineyard, nor a garden if I hadn't farmed.

It would have been a thorn-garden.

He threatens me with suing me.

He won't take it by force.

What can I do about it?

Well, we want you to talk, sheikh.

Azmi Aga is right.

He has been farming for years.

His brother Gokmen travels to Persia, to Constantinople...

and enjoys himself.

I can talk to him.

But you are the children of the same parents.

It's his share.

We can't prevent him from suing you.

Rather than the qadi, we want you to be the judge of this.

We will do as you say.

God knows the best.

We'll think about it.

We beg your leave, sheikh.

Come, Yunus, come.

You weren't here at dinner.

Even for dinner, it's not right to be away from the congregation.

The dervish matures in the kitchen.

Tell me.

I overheard you, sheikh.

Kececi Azmi and his brother have an inheritance case.

I heard it, sheikh.

He said his brother is a tramp.

The Book...

doesn't say he shall be disinherited...

if he is a tramp.

I cannot bring myself to contradict the Proprietor.

I don't mean that, sheikh.

As you have mentioned, they both are the proprietors.

How come they're the proprietor?

They just till the soil.

We are talking about the Original Proprietor.

If it's all right with you...

I can solve this matter between the brothers, sheikh.

There is good in peace.

Reconciliation is obligatory.

Even the name of our religion is 'peace'.

If you accept...

I'm knowledgeable about inheritance law.

You mean you know it well?

I do, sheikh.

Since I came to this world...

on Mondays and Thursdays he fasts...

on other days he diets, mother.

If Doctor Mikel Effendi didn't insist...

he wouldn't let us add honey to his water.

We eat lots of food but we still can't wait to break fast.

Come on, dear.

Thank you, dear.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome, father.

Well, I should thank the bees, then.

For a drop of honey, they land on thousands of flowers.

They collect pollen from flowers and give us honey.

Do they know what they collect, what they give?

What do they say? Bees make honey without knowing how.

Do you need anything else, father?

Thank you, dear.

Come on, you make sahur, too.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

I'm knowledgeable about inheritance law.

You mean you know it well?.

I do.

Sheikh.

If you want to serve and claim your share...

I'll give you a very important task, Yunus.

Your wish is my command, sheikh.

From now on, you'll do the cleaning of our lodge.

Especially the cells and the courtyard.

Most importantly, the toilets.

Start from Aynali's cell.

Unlike we idlers, he has no time to clean his cell.
