Al-Baqarah 208: Oh you who believe! Enter peace altogether. Do not follow Shaytan for he is clearly your enemy.

Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 208. O you who believe, enter into peace all together. Look at the verses. Never be hostile among yourselves. Do not disparage one another with gossip and backbiting. Never backbite one another. Respect one another's rights and law, it says. What does it say? O you who believe. What does it say? Ya eyyühellezine amenü. Look, it doesn't say O people. O you who believe. Pay attention to this, it says. Never follow Satan. Satan shows you corruption. He sows discord among you. He makes you enemies (?). He gives you all sorts of whisperings. And within those whisperings you are ruined.

He distances you from the people. Yes. Because he is your open enemy. He is your open enemy, says Allah Almighty.

O you who believe! You who believe in Allah and His Messenger and have accepted Islam, all together join hands, do not separate from Islam. From Islam, join hands, do not separate from Islam. Without regard to race, language and color, do not stir up hostility among yourselves. Do not, with carnal feelings, going against Allah's verses, follow Satan's footsteps. If Islam were to split apart, the enemies of Islam would gain strength and tear Islam to pieces. The more a person separates from his brother in Islam, the more he will drag himself step by step toward destruction. Why? He won't find strength. Tomorrow, when I state a need of mine, I won't find anyone behind me. I won't find anyone to help me.

Well, Hodja, I'm enough for myself. No, you can't be. Such situations arise that you fall helpless and come to need someone. If your leg breaks, your arm is dislocated, if you fall ill, you will surely need someone. If you suffer an injustice and go to prison through slander, behind you you will need a helper to work for you. O man! So never be hostile to your brother in Islam. Don't speak against him. If you want to rise in Allah's sight, cover his fault. Don't backbite. Respect his rights, his law, his humanity. Yes. So join hands. Gather. Come together as one. Shoulder to shoulder. Stand back to back.

With Allah's verses, be one whole, a single body, so that Allah too may be with you. Look, we go to mosques, to congregations. We (?) as a congregation, all together. Shoulder to shoulder. How beautifully we gather in Allah's presence. But after we leave there, Satan makes us (?) so much. (?) in the presence of our Lord. We bowed in prostration to the Most Merciful in His presence. We served Him. We prayed to Him. All as brothers in His presence, in Allah's presence, as Allah's servants, we poured out our troubles, our hearts to our Lord, we opened up. Well, when we left there, weren't we ashamed?

By harboring enmity toward one another, by usurping this one's and that one's rights, by, sir, slandering this one and that one, won't we be ashamed before our Lord? Weren't we brothers, (?) shoulder to shoulder? Weren't we Muslims? We believed in the same Lord. We brought our foreheads to the same Allah, in prostration to the Most Merciful, our foreheads. One needs to think a little. Yes. A person follows his nafs, is fooled by provocateurs, separates from his brother in Islam; if they side with the enemies of Islam, then such peoples and nations, by the enemies of Islam, are constantly brought to ruin.

Enemies waiting for the weak side, those waiting for Islam's weak side, doesn't it happen to us too? Whenever the people in the state begin to clash with one another, people who try to stir up the state, when they try to create panic in the state with provocateurs, when they weaken the state, at once foreign states, the way a snake raises its neck, raise their heads, at once that, sir, a snake, you know, what was it, it doesn't come to my mind, to my tongue. It raises its head and immediately stands up straight. What is it? Cyprus was mine. What is it? It was the Armenian question. What is it? You did this here and that there.

Everyone starts climbing on your head. But when do you get strong? Everyone, (?), starts to settle down like milk that has boiled up. So, as Muslims, let us never dig a pit for one another. One another's shortcomings, let us lose within ourselves. If I were to spread the shortcomings of the people I know, to them, then who should spread my shortcomings? You cover my shortcoming so that I cover yours. We were created lacking anyway. So don't raise a flag over the mistakes we made and display us to people. Cover it in your bosom like a blind well. Let it be lost. So that Islam may live unity and togetherness.

Yes. If you expose him to people for his mistake, at some point you will also incur Allah's wrath. Why? If you say, I'm only telling what he did: Allah created people lacking. Lacking. Within that lack he will do things. Accepting that our Lord created him that way, can you lose it within yourself? Can you say to him: brother, you did this lacking? It would be better if you didn't do it this way? And can you warn him without exposing him to people? How beautiful. That is Islam, that is a Muslim.

Even if a Muslim people proves its good will, even if it gives great help to non-Muslims, in a verse: unless you follow them, they will never go along with you.

Never. Only if you make concessions to them will they go along with you. If you make concessions. Yes. They are not going to be with you. So today, according to this verse, we want to join the European (?).

They have their laws too.

No state, no Muslim state can come in among us. The law is this law. (?) came closer, closer, look, it happened, look, it will happen, look, it's coming, look, it's going, look, (?), he says. And he keeps telling you: change this law this way, change that law that way, do this like this. Why? Because you will conform to their civilization, to the morals they call civilization, you will conform to their immorality. As long as you don't make those concessions, they will never take you in.

Listen well.

That is why, although they need you, when you leave, they become (?), dust under your feet. Oh, don't go, come. Why? Because they need you.

Our ancestors left a treasure to our state. This piece of land is a treasure. It has every kind of treasure, whatever you look for. Well, in that case they got used to laziness. Their moral (?) dropped to zero. People without a sense of family will of course need you. But how loyal they are to their laws. How loyal they are to their immoralities. Unless you conform to them, they never conform to you and don't take you in. We are loved too. As long as they don't take us in. And we say we haven't conformed to them yet, that is what we say. We say we haven't conformed to them yet. Otherwise, what if you left the passport open for me?

What if I went to you and worked? What if I don't work? Allah Almighty already says: do not work for those who are hostile to you. Is there no work in your own homeland?

What is a person's sustenance? Do you know sustenance? What he eats, drinks, wears and wears out is his sustenance. The rest is the inheritance that (?) remains. Inheritance. So if, for this inheritance, your nafs's insatiable desire carries you away, if Satan also fans you, if the world also looks attractive to you, then yes, of course, the Hereafter you (?) (?); from weakness of faith, I'll go there, see, work, you say. Yet there is no work there at all. For them too, work (?). They are in a wretched state. Yes.

Their closeness to Islam is for their own interests. They watch for such a moment of yours that, in a tight time, they leave you alone. So, in order that Muslims do not suffer oppression at the hands of non-Muslims, Allah, so that Muslims find salvation, invites Islam to unity and togetherness, we said. Those who know of these verses and, because of their nafs, do not accept Islam compete in (?) the verses for worldly gain and their own lives. Today those reviving the crusading armies of the past, those who, acting according to this verse, unite the Christian world, and with the Christians' all-out front against Islam gain strength and try to do away with Islam, are appearing before our eyes.

Where? (?) in Bosnia. Where? (?) in Palestine. Everyone is a spectator. Where are Islamic rights? Where are human rights? Not Islamic rights, where are human rights? What became of this human right? If it is human rights, the oppressed one there, that little orphan, don't you see him shot dead with bullets? Don't you see him killed unjustly? You see it. And, you close your eyes. Then you have no human rights. There are no human rights in you. There is no conscience in you either. You are only one who, the unrest and disorder of his heart, through Islam's blood (?), into a bit of peace tries to turn: a cruel person.

Yes.

Also distancing Islam from the Quran, making Muslims forget their religion of Islam, removing the order of unity and togetherness from Islam, and breaking them into pieces, as it suits it, it is using Islam. O people! Do not follow these by following Satan's footsteps. For Satan is an open enemy to man. Do not let what they make look good, pleasing your nafs, deceive you. Allah, who programmed these worlds with a program, informs you of what will happen. If you turn your back on the verses and follow your reason, your end is regret and loss.

Yes.
