THE JOURNEY OF LOVE

My store is open, thanks to you.

I earn my wife and children's' daily bread, my Sheikh.

May god bless you.

Thanks should be given in the...

...most precise and correct way.

The daily bread comes from God.

It comes to you, me, the birds and...

...even the dog lying down outside by the door.

I am your ignorant serf, my Sheikh. Forgive me.

I don't know even what I am saying.

Do your work well...

don’t violate the rights of God’s servants, rest is not important.

You can't take anyone anywhere...

...holding them by the hand.

Let alone to heaven.

Is that dear Aziz? Bring him in, dear Kasim.

I beg my leave of you, my Sheikh.

If you wait, you will drink our sherbet, Azmi Agha.

You welcome, Doctor Effendi. We are honoured.

I am glad to be here, agha.

I heard something with my own ears, Sheikh Effendi.

Is that the truth?

Tell me.

What did you hear, Doctor Effendi?

Ilyas Effendi, the new Judge...

...went to the dervish's lodge and arrested you.

He is the Judge. He works for justice.

Sure, there's something he knows.

An inflamed sore broke out on the lord's back.

I will treat it. I am going to tell him to talk to Judge.

Thank you! Doctor Effendi.

You are preoccupied about us.

People will always do that for friends.

But one cannot be thankful to a servant of God for one’s life.

Unless the person wants our spirit.

Can I come in?

Come in.

Peace be with you.

Peace be upon you.

Good evening, Yunus.

Sit please, Kasim Effendi.

How did you know that I was here?

Sister Sultan, the daughter of our Sheikh, told me.

No one knows that but...

...Sister Sultan told me something.

What is the truth?

What does Judge want of our Sheikh?

What did he blame our Sheikh for?

I don't know.

Well, what can we do?

Is there anything to do?

I know the Master judge.

We were classmates in Konya.

Really?

He says nothing can be done.

The matter is in his hands right now, but...

...he still says nothing can be done.

What else can we do?

I don't know.

I really don't.

I am going back to Konya in the morning.

Make things right. Don't fall behind.

I have gotten the go-ahead to return to my duties.

İs the place of your duty decided?

It is.

But I couldn't learn it there.

I had to come here.

I am coming back to plead.

I don't to waste time, it's getting to be too late.

Go and put your affairs in order.

Don't think about our Sheikh's situation.

We are here. We'll figure that out.

There is no way now.

Well, let me have it, my dears!

Some are in trouble for slander...

...Some are in trouble with being appointed to a position.

The quietest ambush.

Fools think that I’m a wise man.

They grace my knowledge and appoint me to a position.

Such haughty individuals!

So much so that they can't see their hand in front of their face.

They can't see it is an ideal place for an ambush.

Well, what happens now?

If there is an obstacle in the way...

...will we go by this route?

Suppose that we are walking to Konya, the capital city, from here...

...There is a quick way, but there's a stone right in front of you.

Do you give up or do you go over it?

The dervishes never give up even if great trouble were to arise.

They always pass over it.

With patience and invocation.

I need to go.

But I can't.

I have to go.

I can't.

Ah!

Allahu ekber, Allahu ekber.

Allahu ekber.

Allahu ekber.

We await news from Konya.

We are going to the dervish's lodge of Tapduk Emre.

Bring the horses.

Adem, bring the horses to Akyama behind the bazaar.

May they see you home.

Master judge.

We will inform him that you came.

We are not here to visit him, dervish.

We will search the house, Officer.

Patience!

Can I come in?

Come in, Kasim Effendi, come in.

Judge Effendi wants to see our Sheikh.

My father is not here.

Let us see that for ourselves, sister.

I said that he is not here.

Sheikh Effendi is not at home.

Why are you looking for my dad?

What do you want?

Yunus Effendi.

Is it lawful what you doing, Master judge?

Is it lawful to get under one's skin like this?

Isn't this harassment or something?

This is a state matter, Yunus Effendi.

For this one can enter a house

or take a life.

What you did is the opposite of justice...

...and shariah.

We graduated by reading the same books, Yunus Effendi.

And leaning on a family is written of in which books?

Give us an example.

Give us an example and show us.

We studied that together.

What you did is called arbitrariness.

What does it mean to mete out justice for your own delight, Ilyas Effendi?

I said that he is not at home but...

You hold justice in such a high regard but...

...where is the Sheikh who you are defending?

I wonder If he ran away because he is scared of justice?

If that guy who you defend so zealously is not utterly guilty,

...then why did he run away from the Judge of Selquk, justice and...

...shariah, Yunus Effendi?

Can you explain that?

Well?

If he didn't run away, where is he?

We can leave, officer.

It’s obvious that Sheikh Effendi had a prophecy on our coming

...and disappeared by working a miracle.

Never!

Sheikh Effendi never runs away, even from Azrael, who claims lives.

It is sensible to run away from the Judge of Seljuq?

We are leaving, officer.

What's matter? Why are they looking for Sheikh Effendi?

We don't know why, but...

...confirmation has been given by the high court of Konya.

For what reason?

What does the Judge say, Molla Effendi?

He didn't explain anything.

His arrogance blinds him.

Is there any news of the Sheikh, Officer?

There is, my lord.

Master judge.

If you have time, we want to talk to you.

We know the issue, landlord Mesud.

The whole of Nallihan and even Konya...

...has been mobilized after the Sheikh for some reason.

Don't mention that!

But he does the opposite.

We have received news.

Then come with me.

My Sheikh!

What pains you, dears?

My Sheikh.

Master judge has been looking for us...

...we didn't want to impose on him and we visited him.

Yunus, we knew that you had already been to Konya.

Why did you come back?

You are deemed to have accepted the slander by doing this.

Not the slander.

We just accept our fate.

Aghas.

That's enough.

You will fulfil his longing after the trial.

Do you have any orders, my Sheikh?

I do.

Inform my wife that...

...there is nothing to be afraid of.

And our dervish needn't worry about us.

Your wish is my command, my Sheikh.

Sheikh Effendi has surrendered.

But his followers allege that he is not guilty.

I will answer the door, dear mother.

Is the lady of the house not here?

I am here.

I hope you came with gratitude, Kasim Effendi.

It's good news, mother, it's good.

We got news about the Sheikh.

Thank God.

The charity and enormous gestures come from him.

Tell me, Kasim Effendi.

Is this charity?

Or an enormous gesture?

Our Sheikh has surrendered.

He is in the dungeon.

It's certain that accusations have been levelled.

Ahis has sent news to four winds of Selquk.

They entrap dervish's lodges following those four winds.

It's not time for politics but...

this is a trap.

Mesud Agha...

...is there anybody with reasons to slander our Sheikh Effendi?

Yes, Yunus Effendi, there is.

He has no idea but...

...I know the slanderer.

-Peace be with you. -Peace be upon you.

You wonder why we called you, Azmi Agha.

He does, but...

...he knows why we called him really.

I don't, my lord.

How I do know that?

Some irresponsible person...

...has slandered our Sheikh Effendi.

They complained to Judge.

No way, aghas.

He who slanders our Sheikh shall lost his tongue.

And our Sheikh Effendi surrendered in person.

Who complained to our Sheikh Effendi in Nallihan.

He contributes a small share on behalf of everyone.

Well, that's people for you, Azmi Agha.

They suck on raw milk.

Sit, Azmi Agha, please.

Sit, sit.

Tell me, Azmi Agha.

Why do you slander Sheikh Effendi?

Never, agha.

Heaven forbid!

We never said a single bad word to our Sheikh.

Come on, daughter, come on.

The weather is hot, wash the dishes.

We are accustomed to wait for Effendi.

If he sees that we are very thoughtful, I will be angry.

He would say that puts the house in order.

You are right, mother.

He would ask why should we be thoughtful...

...or bother at all.

I need to go to dervish's lodge.

The dervishes are wondering about that.

We don't think that the news that our Sheikh is in the dungeon has spread.

Including the dervishes.

Come on, daughter, come on.

Why do I slander our Sheikh?

Weren't we there for his conservation?

And that's your plan, too.

It's obvious that you came to the conservation on purpose.

You don't want to believe me.

Words fail me.

The truth is the exact opposite, Azmi Agha.

We want to believe that, not your lies.

Why would I go to the conservation of the Sheikh by fiddling with finances?

Because he helped you open your store.

I told you that you needed to kiss his hands, so you did.

To sweeten the pill.

No one would suspect you this way.

You planned it. Is that a lie?

I complained to no-one, I slandered no-one.

Azmi Agha, we are here to...

...work for the public interest.

Our hometown will come through, we all know it.

Our efforts are in order to avoid our livelihood from falling apart.

Our Sheikh guides us in this direction.

He doesn’t advise us to be hermits.

He says that the farmers plant the crops...

...the ironmongers forge and then...

...the wives do the housework.

This way, people won't kill...

...in the above, the below,...

...the east and west and the battlefield.

Now you are asking why he is telling this to me.

I mean that we tolerate so that...

...order be upheld.

It's our Sheikh's advice.

But to tolerate someone who...

...disturbs order,

...is a betrayal of the innocent.

I would send the municipal police to your store...

...and they would establish what was missing.

I would give instructions to the Ahi community...

...they wouldn't let you make even the first sale of the day.

Are you aware of the seriousness of the matter, Azmi Agha?

You can't take shelter in Nallihan.

You can't take shelter.

That's right.

It's true.

Your words are true as an arrow.

But...

But there was a mistake regarding the accusations levelled against me.

I didn't complain to our Sheikh.

By the name of God.

We don't need to gossip but...

I heard Mesud Effendi shout at Azmi Effendi, leather dealer, the other day.

My husband, Sahin told me that but I didn't pay attention.

What did he say? Tell us, don't keep us in suspense.

Azmi Effendi, the leather dealer, didn't agree about our Sheikh's judgement.

That's surely a rumour.

That's the affairs of heart, ladies. someone takes pleasure...

...and someone feels offended.

Mom, I want to go Kira, the bazaar.

Why do you want to go Kira when there is such turmoil here?

I am unable to breathe, mom.

My dad is in the dungeon and there is nothing we can do.

We are sitting like wallflowers.

Get some fresh air but...

...how are you going to the bazaar alone?

I will come back before sundown.

Did you perform prayer?

I did, mother.

May God accept it.

Don't be late, mind!

The night will take care of itself.

Fine, okay.

You can leave, aghas.

The door of the Nallihan Ahi community is closed for you...

...from now on under all circumstances.

You can linger with the ne'er-do-wells.

Don't make our people and Ahis suspicious.

Azmi Agha.

You are trying to persuade us for nothing.

What you believe...

...is the truth.

Everyone carries their own mirror in their own right.

But...

...someone who slandered doesn't know that...

Judge Ilyas, who is pushing the Sheikh around with this slander,...

...and I worked as Judge for...

...this country.

I know what the methods...

...and protocols are and...

...what's written in book.

Someone who asserts a claim like this needs to have a witness.

After all, I will tell you the result of this case.

This case will come back from the high court in Konya.

And someone who slandered someone without a witness...

...will come into Judge's presence.

We will certainly see if there is one...

...once the proceedings are underway.

If the complainant is Azmi, the leather dealer...

...he will begin to look for a perjurer soon.

My sister.

Where are you going by yourself?

For a matter regarding my father.

Is there any news of our Sheikh?

I have no time, Kira. Talk to you later.

Well, let's go together to where you're off to.

Let me give these to my dad.

No, it's fine. I will be right back.

When you are coming back? Come to me. My dad is feeling sorry and worried.

You, stay out of it please, and also, don't tire yourself out.

We are interested in this matter.

Yunus Effendi.

I saw you by chance.

I know that you are going after the leather dealer.

But...

...it's not a matter which you can take care of.

We are concerned.

You go back to the lodge also, don’t let your mother be lonely.

Peace be with you, Huseyin Agha.

Peace be upon you, Azmi Agha.

What's the matter? You are in a cold sweat.

Oh, I'm fair to middling.

If you have time, I want to have a word or two with you.

Let's see that the assets and liability statement stay between us.

Don't be embarrassed, don't feel small.

There must surely be a way to solve it.

Amen!

I didn't do it , I didn't do it, in truth. I robbed no-one, my lord.

I didn't do. I swear that I didn't do it, my lord.

I swear that I didn't rob anyone, my lord.

I don't have any crimes to my name. I swear, my lord.

I didn't do it, my lord.

Sure, sure, look. Everyone is innocent in this dungeon.

There are no guilty ones in here.

True words are to be believed, just believed.

If you are not guilty...

...well then why are you in the dungeon?

I am here to visit you, Sencer Can.

Also, the dungeon is a good one.

Especially given this uproarious mood.

If it was bad, Yusuf would enter the dungeon.

and the place he entered, could it even be bad?

Do you want me tell you the story of Prophet Yusuf, friends?

Do you want to hear it?

Fine.

I will recount it, listen to me.

Everyone has their duty.

Jacop saw his son Joseph's situation and...

...he tried to save him from his brothers.

His brothers set a trap to Joseph so that...

...their dad would love them more than him.

The owner of the caravan found Joseph in the well

and by being afraid of Joseph

they sold it for a low price.

And finally, the governor of the city...

...bought him with the idea of adopting him.

But things are ordained by God.

And God has planned everything.

The wife of the governor took interest in Joseph, who grew up...

...in this house and was gifted with beauty by God.

The truth became known to everyone.

Joseph is thrown into the dungeon with Zuleyha,...

...the wife of governor, for slander.

But Joseph was untroubled by his imprisonment.

He prays for precisely the opposite.

He says that the dungeon is...

...”Prettier than these things which remind them of me.

If you don't save me from their trap...

...I would oblige them.

I would look like them and I would be a transgressor, my almighty God.”

God granted his wish and kept him in the dungeon.

He was away from the world, alone with his own will.

He listened to himself and read.

Then he interpreted the convict's dream...

...with a talent which is given by God.

He made everything he had declared true.

Joseph persevered in saying that it was a gift which...

...was given to him by God.

Because his only purpose is to give things that come from God to the people.

Yusuf turned the dungeon into a class to serve God.

The people filled the dungeon...

...and Joseph filled their hearts with the love of God.

And the rest is history.

That's why dungeons are places in which the truth is told...

...ever since Joseph.

They called that the madrasah of Joseph.

This is how it works, dear Sencer.

Then think about it.

The outside of the dungeon?

Is the dungeon outside or inside for me?

The marker is set up and the people are bought and sold.

And they call that the justice of the court.

Well, Azmi Agha?

Did you buy a witness for yourself?

Squeal on a man instead of shooting an arrow.

An arrow can go off course.

But not the tongue.

There is a kettle...

...boiling in my mind.

Everyone is sorry.

Everyone is worried but...

...you didn't sleep all night long.

He knows...

...he knows that it's pure slander.

He knows, but even so he went to the dungeon by shank's mare.

You're welcome, daughter.

Thanks, mother.

Have you got a headache?

It's not a headache.

It's a test.

My dad is doing vapour therapy on me. It's good for me.

We will do it for you right now.

Shall I set the table for you?

I'm not hungry, mother, thanks.

Daughter...

...go to the dervish's lodge...

...and ask for Kasim Effendi.

Has Yunus Effendi sent news?

Is it okay, Azmi Agha?

Did you drop the charges?

I did, Yunus Effendi, I did.

I took my statement back, but...

...Yunus Effendi talked to Judge. Don't worry about it.

You won't be sued for slander.

Well then.

Go to your store.

To your work.

Yunus!

Thank you, Ilyas.

I became acquainted with the chief justice Urmevi!

I could invite him to the conservation by chance.

I wrote a letter to him about your situation.

I didn't tell you that on purpose. If it's all good then I will tell you.

He accepted.

I got just the good news.

If you take the road before nightfall...

...you will be in Konya before the azan.

Come to the chief judge and learn where you are appointed to.

Yunus!

Let's go to the turnkey...

...and get our Sheikh out of here.

My mother asked is there any the news from Yunus Effendi?

But can't we know if Yunus came back or if he is here, Kasim Agha?

He is still here.

He is here but he didn't send news.

We are thunderstruck.

Judge is looking for my Sheikh, dad.

On top of that he accused my father of running away.

But my dad went there and surrendered.

As if he was guilty.

Don't get into a flap.

Sure, our Sheikh will come back.

What about Judge Ilyas Effendi...?

...Yunus Effendi says that he talked to him, but he didn't listen.

and that is a matter for Yunus Effendi to deal with?

I think best wait for a bit and then go to the Mesud, the Ahi Sheikh.

Oh God, Oh God.

Oh God, Oh God.

Congratulations, Sheikh father.

Are you here, dears?

Please.

You have the same, too.

Well!

Could you excuse us, old man?

Thanks.

You can come whenever you want.

You would be breath of fresh air.

But Sheikh Effendi...

...Sencer, who you invited to the dervish's lodge, is a bandit in Nallihan.

We all have come to steal a burial shroud at this bazaar.

If we see that, we won't believe it, son.

Who do goods belong to?

Who does property belong to?

Who is their owner?

Who is the thief?

I said it in case you didn't know that, Sheikh.

You get older, you forget everything.

Thanks.

Thanks!

Thanks!

We wonder what does Judge...

...want of our Sheikh, not where is our Sheikh, Kasim Agha.

He is an intruder.

It seems like a tendency of the Bogus.

It is obvious that everything is learned in the...

...madrasah except decency.

Decency, of course!

...decency, of course!

Don't get depressed, dervishes.

If it's my destiny, I will go to talk to the landlord Mesud.

And hopefully receive the good news, dervish.

Make way!

Peace be with you.

Peace be with you.

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and plentifulness be upon you.

You, too.

Welcome, my Sheikh.

Thankfully, one who helps me.

Welcome, my lord.

Thanks, Kasim.

You're welcome, Yunus.

Welcome, Effendi.

You kept us in suspense.

Dad, welcome.

We couldn't go anywhere,...

...Yunus and Mesud Agha held us where we went.

Come into our poor house, please.

And we shall fulfil the dervish's...

...longing.

Time is up now, my lord.

I need to take the road...

...right now.

Take the road.

Don't get out of line!

Something beneficent has happened.

It means that the road shows up here.

We can't the change the direction of the road.

You found a new companion, old man!

Aren't you done?

Didn't you die?

Aren't you done? Didn't you die?

Aren't you done? Didn't you die?

Well.

Where will you work as Judge?

I will learn that when I get to Konya, from the chief justice.

How will you get to Konya?

I have a horse in the inn.

Can a living being own another living being?

It's my friend from Konya's.

He entrusted it to me.

If you are a dervish I will say that...

...life cannot exist on another plane.

Come on.

Let's take the road and then we'll see where it leads.

May God give you long life.

If the sky is above...

...and the ground is below...

...God won't bother you.

We will live and see.

Let's see what my God will do?

He does everything well.

You put yourself out,...

...may God bless you.

All together.

My mother is at ease.

Are you leaving?

I am leaving.

Are you going back to Konya?

I am going back to Konya.

Godspeed.

Don't bother yourself eternally.
