It seems as if there is no justice between those born Christian and those born Muslim, and in that case it seems hard to expect them to become Muslim. Could you enlighten us on this?

He says, I kiss your hands; may you have many to kiss your hand, my child.

Türker says: Peace be upon you, Hodja, there is a matter I keep getting stuck on. Between those born Christian and those born Muslim, it seems, God forbid, as if there were no justice — that is the thought forming in my head. Just as I will not leave my religion, it is very hard for them to leave theirs. In that case, after they are born Christian, does expecting them to become Muslim seem very absurd, Hodja? I would be very glad if you could shed light on this question in my head, he says.

Türker, my son, we have explained all of this. All of it, one by one. What you are saying goes back to "Alastu bi-rabbikum". At "Alastu bi-rabbikum" they are separated within those three statements I mentioned. And those of the right and those of the left — there everyone's wish becomes their own destiny. Destiny. Allah Almighty says to you in His verse: We divided you on earth into peoples so that you may quickly know one another. Even those who deny go to lands of their own mindset, suited to their own nature, among their own community, their own tribes. Allah Almighty sends them. Why does He send them there? Because they will get along well with people of their own mindset, their life there will be better, and they will prove themselves better.

That is: We divided you on earth into peoples so that you may quickly know one another. Into the lineage of these He brings and places a Muslim lineage.

A Muslim soul — into their lineage He brings and places a Muslim soul. And to the Muslims, too, a lineage of unbelief; He brings and places an unbeliever's soul. Allah Almighty does these things precisely to prevent our son Türker from talking like this. You look and see that in that land of unbelievers that Muslim soul, once it reaches a certain time, does not obey them. Because earlier its character, on the Islamic nature, among a group that knows Allah, from those of the right, it immediately turns to Islam. Had it been born among Muslims, that unbelieving soul, since it rebelled earlier, is inclined to those traits. It too rebels and leaves for Christianity, or idolatry, or outside the religion of Islam.

Everyone proves themselves in this way. For this reason, so that people do not suffer injustice while living on earth, Allah Almighty divided them into peoples according to their own nature and the covenants they gave, right from the beginning. Therefore, by sending them on earth among people of their own mindset, through the deeds people do on earth, and with the abilities and characters He gave them within His own decrees, people can prove themselves better. Yes. In this case, "he was in a Christian land so he became Christian, and because he became Christian; had he been in a Muslim land, the Muslims were lucky, so he became Muslim" — that disappears.

Yes. Everyone within the nature they will live by. So what does He do to remove words like these? Into a Muslim's lineage He brings and places an unbeliever's soul, into an unbeliever's lineage a Muslim soul. When the time comes, they turn to Islam or to unbelief. For example, just as He placed the soul of Abraham into an idolater's soul — just as into an idolater's lineage He placed the soul of Abraham, a Muslim and moreover a prophet; and just as into the lineage of Noah He placed an unbelieving soul.

Yes. When the time comes, they separate. Surely. Türker, I hope this was enough, God willing.
