Yunus 10: Their prayers there (will be); “My Allah, you are exalted above all incompleteness.” And when they encounter each other, they will say; “Salam (Peace!)”. The end of their prayers is; “Praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.”

Surah Yunus, verse 10: their prayer there is: O Allah, we declare You free of all imperfect attributes — those are their words; and what they say to one another whenever they meet there is peace, peace; and the end of their prayer is this: Praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. There is no worship in Paradise. No worship. There is a prayer. Prayer. Why is there prayer?

(?) in order to remember Allah. As our son Onur said, the oneness of Allah Almighty, free of any imperfect attribute, and in return for the mercy He has showered on us in the highest Paradise, so that we can give thanks for that return, we have a prayer to Allah Almighty. Yes. O Allah, truly we declare You free of all imperfect attributes. We declare You free of all deficiencies. In this world and in the hereafter — in the world of the hereafter, the Paradise You offer us, if we go there, of course; God willing, we will. For these endless blessings You have offered us, for creating us from nothing, for giving us a life, for making us worthy of Your address, for giving us worth and for including us in these blessings, praise and glory be to You. With a tongue that could perform our thanks and give You thanks for that thanks, a tongue, a language, since I cannot find one to speak to You, then in the finest way, however You wish to accept it in Your being, accept our thanks that way. That wholehearted surrender to Allah in the face of those blessings is your prayer to Allah Almighty.

Allah has already, Allah Almighty has already, in that world, eternal, endless blessings offered you. Will we never change then? Will we always be like this? We will never change. Longing grows and grows, and in that longing we will always remember our Lord with prayer. In this world we grow weary, but there, there is no weariness. Why? He says: when you enter Paradise, We will load you with a new load, He says. We will do a loading in you, He says. This is the loading: removing grief, sorrow and grudges from the heart. With a fine character, love for one another, and those fine qualities — setting their bonds in place. Our longing for Allah Almighty, without in any way straying to a lower thought, with His program — programming us and keeping our longing for Allah Almighty steady.

He will program us. And we will always voice our thanks to our Lord in prayer to Him. And when we see one another: peace be upon you. That is, you are safe today. Because your Lord, in safety, has granted you, sir, the highest Paradise. If you had not been among your Lord's (?) servants, you too would today, like the people who received punishment, be in Hell. In this respect, since Allah's mercy is upon you, you are safe today. That is, Allah's mercy is not recited separately. There is no 'Selamün aleyküm'. Yes.

What does it say? Their prayer there is: O Allah, we declare You free of all imperfect attributes — those are their words. And what they say to one another whenever they meet there is peace. And the end of their prayer is this: Praise belongs to the Lord of the worlds. Praise. What is praise? I thank You, O Allah. You say: praise and glory be to You for these blessings You have given. Yes.

Allah Almighty created these worlds within a program. Allah, who wrote people's desires and wishes for them as their destiny and who knows what they will say and do, makes known what a person who has attained Paradise says there while people are still in the world of mulk. That is, because Allah Almighty knows what people will say in the end too, since He programmed them according to their characters, according to their desires and wishes. So in this case, what people will say in the highest Paradise He tells us while we are in this world. And to increase our longing for Allah Almighty, so that we give the due of the blessings He gave, He says: there they will say this.

So say it here too. Because He adorned you with His own being. That is, He gave you a spirit. He offered you so many blessings. And He made you worthy of His address. Here too, give thanks to Allah, who gives so many blessings here. Say: O Allah, I declare You free of all imperfect attributes. That is, there is no deficiency whatsoever in You. If there is deficiency, it is in us, O Allah. And praise and glory be for all the blessings given. Yes. The prayer of the people in Paradise: O Allah, we declare You free of all imperfect attributes. We say these words in the world of mulk too. Yes. People gain nearness to Allah through faith in the unseen.

Faith in the unseen. That is, Allah Almighty, to a world where His being is not seen, sent us. That is, a hidden world. Some, with their short sight, say: is this world hidden? Is this world a hidden world? I mean, can't you see? We see it with our eyes. What part of it is hidden, he will say.

Yet Allah Almighty cannot be seen with these eyes. No one can see Him and grasp Him. Such a hidden world, where His being is not seen. Yes.

So in the world of the hereafter, their saying 'we declare You free of imperfect attributes' means: everything You said is true and we have seen it all abundantly. You are the One who keeps His promise, who acts upon truth and justice, who does not discriminate among His servants, who treats people by what they have earned, who created from nothing and is the Owner of all He created. And we, while in this world, believed through faith in the unseen that everything You said is true, and in the world of the hereafter we lived its confirmation. You are our Lord and free of every imperfect attribute; we declare You free of imperfect attributes, they say.

Yes, there too they say so. Because what does Allah Almighty say in His verse? Allah creates what He creates firmly. Firmly, that is, He creates it solid. Even though He created it so solidly, the Last Hour will break out. Allah will not bring about the Last Hour. Yes, the Last Hour will break out. We will bring about the Last Hour with our own hands. (?) we have started the countdown. We have started the countdown. With the Earth's deficient rotation on its axis, with the tearing of the ozone layer, with the weakening of the North Pole's magnetism. So in this case we have started the beginning of the Last Hour.

Hodja, what is the ozone layer for?

The ozone layer, up in the sky, filters the sun's ultraviolet rays, destroys the harmful ones within itself like a filter. A filter.

It does not let the harmful rays reach the earth. That is the ozone layer's task. In this case, from the torn place, from the torn place in the ozone layer, because the sun's ultraviolet rays are harmful, at the North Pole they have begun to erase the magnetism, and reddening has begun there too. And in this case the ice is melting. With the ice melting, with the fear that some places will be under water, in the Islamic lands, by stirring up strife, amid differences of belief, making people kill one another through ideologies, making them weak and taking control of those places. Destroying the people at the head of those places, and the people they have raised in the lower strata, for money, making them the leaders of that lower stratum and putting them at the head of those countries, so that when the time comes they hand those countries over to them and open them up.

Ideologies, ideologies. They brought down Mubarak from Iraq.

In Libya they brought down Gaddafi. I mean,

in Iraq they brought down Saddam. They devour them like this. They bring their own men and put them there. When they need them, they make them do what they want and prepare a place for themselves. Couldn't they come there right now? They could. But rather than look after so many people — states unable to look after their own people leave the people there to themselves, let them live in want and misery, and when the time comes, come and settle there as they please. This is the game being played all over the world. They want to play the same game in Turkey too. May Allah be pleased with them, our leaders do not fall for this game.

Sound-minded people. Yes.

They try very hard. They try very hard.

When people in the world of the hereafter, in Paradise, meet one another, they only keep saying peace to each other. In Paradise there is no idle word. If they called out to each other there 'Selamün aleyküm', it would mean: may Allah's mercy be upon you. But these people have already attained Allah's mercy; saying so would be empty and (?). Saying 'Selam', in turn, means: today you are safe, now you are under Allah's mercy — that is what it means. Now today some people who do not know themselves, mostly those who know nothing of religion and faith, when they meet each other, say 'Hi, selam' in imitation of the West and raise their hands in the air to greet each other.

High society today. 'Ay, selam.' 'Selam.' Have you become safe from this world? Are you safe from an earthquake disaster a moment later, or in an instant? From the calamity Allah Almighty may send you from the air, from the sky, with tornadoes, let me say, with hurricanes — are you safe from it? From a chicken disease He may give you, that is, the plague-germ disease — are you safe from it? Or from being buried in the ground in an earthquake, or from perishing by a cry of Gabriel — are you safe from these? You keep saying 'selam', you say you are safe. Poor man, who has no guarantee at home for the very next moment.

Yes.

Are you so sure of Allah's mercy that you greet each other saying 'selam'? From whom in this world did you find strength, that you said 'selam' so sure of yourself? From the arrogance your nafs and Satan gave you; when you forgot Allah and found strength in what pleased your nafs, you kept greeting each other this way. O my brothers who say 'I am a Muslim' yet know nothing of Islam: of the time you spend following your nafs, being dragged along after it — if you spend a tenth of it, or a little of your time, learning what Allah who created you wants from you, you will come to your senses. In doing so you will also see that you are in a swamp, and that under the unbearable stench of this swamp and the weights stuck to you, you are trapped, and that you are worn out trying to escape it.

So the end of the prayer of those who meet each other in Paradise is: Praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds, they say. Because the nafs of the people in Paradise has reached perfection, they see that the provision of all these created beings is secured by Allah, and they understand that created beings could not find life without Allah. As for Allah the Creator, since He provides for His creatures without fail and grants them their wishes, man, in the face of what Allah has given, praising, saying 'praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds', shows his devotion to Allah, trusts in Him and shows his love for Him.

So Allah, without any deficiency, is aware of all His creatures and, telling us through His verses what they will say and do, that His creatures are under His rule — this He shows us.

May Allah Almighty make all of us servants to Himself and a community to His Beloved. May Allah Almighty grant all of us to go upon the straight path and to walk a straight path until the end of our lives, and at the end of our lives, saying the shahada, obedient to our Lord, to have our souls taken — may He grant it and make it easy.
