Al-Baqarah 112: No, whoever turns his face to Allah as a muhsin, there is no fear for them, and they will not be saddened.

We wrote it briefly. No, He says. Whoever, as one who does good, affirms Allah's oneness, submits and obeys, turns his face to Allah, there is no fear for them, nor will they grieve. What does it say now? Let us read the previous verse. What does the previous verse say?

The Jews and the Christians said of themselves: paradise is ours. These are their wishful fancies, says Allah Almighty. And you say to them: if you are truly telling the truth, bring your proof, He says. So instead of saying paradise and hell are mine, who? Whoever, as one who does good, that is, affirming Allah's oneness, submitting and obeying, turns his face to Allah, there is no fear for them, nor will they grieve. So, instead of needlessly deifying their own selves, following their desires and wishes, turning their backs on Allah's commands and prohibitions, following Satan's footsteps, bowing to what the taghut says, taking Satan as a guide over themselves and acting so, whoever, doing good, affirming Allah's oneness, submitting and obeying, turns his face to Allah, for these, He says, there is no fear, nor will they grieve. Of course, what does a person say now?

O my Lord! O my Allah! My Lord, Owner of these worlds, absolute Ruler, besides whom there is no god! You did not create these worlds in vain. And You did not address these people and send Your Word to us in vain. So, within this responsibility, to our Lord besides whom there is no god we turned our faces, we put our trust, we believed in You, we had faith, we trusted You. Our Lord, on the Day of Resurrection, as those obedient to Him, will gather us. Yes. What are we doing? We are praying to Allah Almighty; as doers of good, submitting, obedient, we turn our faces to our Lord. For these there is no fear.

People who speak like this fear Allah; they observe His commands and prohibitions, they observe Allah's commands and prohibitions. In this case they avoid sin and turn to good deeds. And Allah Almighty opens the gates of mercy over them. Just as He raises their ranks by way of unveiling, He shows them some meanings from the hereafter. And they become aware of divine manifestations and join our Lord's friends among His servants. To people who join these friends of His, there is neither fear nor grief. Neither fear nor grief. Now the verses here, we will now explain. Allah Almighty says no. It is not so. To whom? Them. The Jews and Christians.

Elhamdülillah. Yerhamükellah yettine ve yehdîkümullah. Let me say it in your place. Let me complete it. Because I cannot hear what you are saying. Yes. What does it say? It is not as the Jews and Christians say. Whoever, affirming Allah's oneness, submitting and obeying, turns his face to Allah, for them there is no fear and no grief. No grieving either. Allah Almighty: no, it is not so. That is, it is not as they say. Whoever says Allah, whoever observes the commands Allah has sent, has turned to Allah; he is an obedient servant. If, by turning to Allah, he (?) from what Allah has forbidden and continues in obedience and worship, then, according to the verses Allah Almighty has commanded, these are the ones who have proofs in their hands.

What is it? These are the ones with proofs in their hands. Proof with what? The Holy Quran. It is in my hand. Allah sent it, didn't He, the Prophet, our Lord sent him, the proof; I believed in him. O my Lord, I believed in what You sent. Were these not Your proofs, I will say. I obeyed You through these, I believed. And Allah Almighty says: all right. You did what I said, and I will give you what is due, He says. Who is more true to his word than Allah, according to His verse. Yes. because Allah Almighty sent His Holy Quran to the worlds as a mercy, a light, a proof; whoever judges by the Quran's judgment, the proofs in their hands are the judgment of the Holy Quran, and Allah Almighty says to them: there is no fear, no fear. Allah's decree: what you earn through a person's obedience and worship is the return for your two hands; an atom's weight of good you have done is recorded, and also an atom's weight of evil you have done is recorded; according to these verses of His, these verses are the proofs over Allah's servants.

Such people do not grieve either. Because Allah never goes back on His promise. No one is as true, as true to his promise as Allah. Now here we passed over one part briefly. What does it say? And Allah Almighty says to them: there is no fear. We did not explain it. "There was no fear." We are passing over this part briefly too. Because what does Allah say? Such people do not grieve either. We passed over this part briefly too. Let us explain these parts now.

If you carry out Allah Almighty's commands and fear Him, fear Allah, flee from what Allah has forbidden, remember your Lord, and bring the love of Allah into your heart, Allah Almighty will let you experience, within divine manifestations, by way of unveiling, many realms, and in an ocean of mercy will raise you to Himself. Who are these? Allah's friends among His servants. Who are His friends? His righteous servants. Allah's righteous servants. To these righteous servants Allah Almighty will give the right of intercession for seven up to seventy people. So when, in the hereafter, Allah Almighty Himself welcomes with a smiling face the people who attain that station of intercession, there is no fear for them.

They will not grieve either. Why? His mother, father, acquaintances, spouse and friends are going to hell. A Muslim too, a sinner, goes to suffer his punishment. And he has remained at the gathering place. Neither reward nor sin. What does he say? My Allah, forgive him for my sake. Give him to me. For my sake, free him from here, my Allah, he says. Then Allah, to make him glad, to make him (?), so that his heart is not (?), grants them to him. That is how beautiful it is. So I say: in this world Allah did not load onto our backs a burden we cannot bear.

As long as we deify our selves, Allah's verses will feel heavy to us.

In the face of such a beautiful realm, in the face of Allah's grace, in the face of our Lord's generosity to us, in the face of our rescuing people in their distress, is it worth it? For the human self to behave this way in this world? Is it worth it for a person to be with his own self and turn his back on Allah's commands? Is it worth it? Look at our people: a shadow. Our fathers, our mothers, many of our brothers and sisters, our loved ones, all of them like a dream vanished before our eyes. Where to? They went to the hereafter. One day we too will go to them. So going to them is no salvation for us.

We will return to our Lord's presence. We will go there. To be able to give account there in the best way, judging not by our selves but by our reason and our Lord's verses, may Allah Almighty grant all of us to go into the presence of Allah Almighty so, and make it easy. Yes. This worldly life is not worth this commotion, this world. It is not worth it. Truly, it is not worth it. But we came to prove ourselves. We will work hard. Working is also worship. We will work hard. I worked hard. We will work hard. But we will not let the love of what we work for into our hearts. We will do what is needed. We will give our help.

For Allah, we will open our hearts with compassion to Allah's servants. We will try to be a remedy for their troubles. And according to the verse "whoever helps Allah's religion", we will learn, we will know, and we will tell people the truth. In this way, in this world, what does Allah Almighty say? Among you, let there be a community that tells the truth, He says. That tells the truth. So, joining these, joining those who tell this truth, attaining Allah's mercy, joining His righteous servants, is a beautiful thing, isn't it? Yes. In this world, those who live by the whims of the self, who live with pride and arrogance, (?) along with those who boast of filth, live on.

It becomes a past dream. Those who say Allah live too, and their past also becomes a dream. But one lives saying Allah, and one lives with filth. So these dreams are all being recorded. Filth is recorded, good is recorded. So why should we have filth written in that white book of ours? Why should we have bad things written? Let us always have good things written, so that tomorrow our Lord will say: O My servant, come, look, in the world you described Me so beautifully, or how well you obeyed Me, how well you did what I said; look at your good deeds, look, beautiful; today I too will make you smile, I will give you what I promised you, I will give it abundantly. And where? In the hereafter, in the home of eternal bliss. And this place is transient, one day it will end, it will become a dream; the sin I would earn by giving away a time to amuse my self, and, within that same time, doing good deeds directed to my Lord, spending that time of mine by saying Allah, can it be compared with the other?

Is that possible? Yes.

What does it say now? Allah's decree: what you earn through a person's obedience and worship is the return for your two hands. An atom's weight of good you have done is recorded, and also an atom's weight of evil you have done is recorded; according to this verse of His, these verses are the proofs over Allah's servants. Such people do not grieve either. Yes. They do not grieve either. Because Allah never goes back on His promise. No one can be as true to his promise as Allah. So they were both made safe from fear and delivered from grief. (?) No grief touches them either. Yes.

We continue. Allah Almighty will give them this in the hereafter, at the station of intercession. Going to the hereafter as Muslims, by interceding for their sinful relatives or loved ones, their grief too will be removed. They will enter the highest paradise joyfully. Yes.
