Talk of 26 August 2023

Yes, Ömer Sefa says, is there I mean, 215. (?) (?), we hate it, he says. Okay.

This is probably an old one.

Ömer Sefa says, is there a broadcast? But he's saying it from here. The sound has been turned on.

Okay. Let's turn the sound off.

We're live.

Yes, sir.

there is a question. He says Peace be upon you, sir. When distributing an inheritance, between the children, the one who obeys the father and the rebellious one, may he give more to the obedient one?

Yes.

The question was asked like this. I wanted to ask you too, sir, he says.

According to this hadith, he may not.

Or according to Allah's justice, he may not.

Whom do they call a tyrant, he says. A father who discriminates between his children is also a tyrant.

In that case, however much the father loves one child, and however little he loves the other, the inheritance is distributed equally.

Otherwise the father has committed injustice. Well, is there a verse for this hadith? Hadiths are the counterpart of the verses anyway. What does it say? To the male two, to the female one share. That is the portion, it says. What does it say? Allah Almighty: to the male two, to the female one share. So let's say I have nine dönüm of land.

This land, two dönüm, three dönüm, well, two each, four, five; divide nine by five, what does it come to? Does it come to one and a half?

Yes. Three and a half, three and a half is seven, one and a half more is eight. One point eight. One point eight. So it is shared out equally. For example, let's say I have sixty dönüm of land. We will divide this by five. Two sons, one daughter. Or two sons, two daughters. Then what happens? Two shares to one son, two shares to the other son, four. One share to one daughter, one share to the other daughter, five, six. If we divide sixty by six, per head ten dönüm it comes to. Twenty dönüm each for the sons, and ten dönüm each for the daughters. In this case Allah, here, between a tyrant son and an obedient son, made no distinction.

Whoever goes outside this commits injustice. That's how it is.

Peace be upon you, Hodja. To several friends around me I gave our Hodja's latest book as a gift. The book of wrongly interpreted verses in the Holy Quran. Then one of them got curious and started watching his videos on YouTube. In this video, when our Hodja said, I am the qutb of the time, my friend said, the one who is the ghawth does not say this. People search for him and find him. After this video, about him I fell into doubt. Then I stopped reading the book, he said. Not only did he not give a proper explanation, I also did not like this attitude of his. What should be done? May Allah be pleased with you.

Look now, let me tell you this. What did all the prophets do? They announced their prophethood. Isn't that so? They said, I am a prophet, and whoever believed believed, whoever did not, did not. believed in the prophet or did not. Not in me, mind you, in the prophet. So when I say I too am the imam of the time, the qutb, I have another trait as well.

I have no Arabic. I have not memorised the Quran either. I have no outward knowledge either.

I am the person called the lost imam. What does this mean, Hodja? The Prophet (peace be upon him) says, the seventh kutbul ahdat will not come forward.

O Messenger of Allah, a person with so much knowledge, how will they not recognise him? He will not have memorised the Quran. He will not have Arabic either. He will not have outward knowledge either. Even if he says it's me, they will not believe. Well, this too fulfils the hadith in a way. He didn't believe. The hadith came true. Normal. Yes. His not believing is normal too. But what will he believe? He will believe something. If this hodja speaks outside the verses, he is a deviant hodja. He won't believe him. If this hodja supports verses with verses, he will think about that too. Yes.

Let's see, is there another question?

I understood, sir, he says. May Allah be pleased with you, he says. Sir, here there is one more question.

Is there? There is. There are quite a few questions here. Hüseyin Ulutaş says, Peace be upon you, sir. Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 15, page 322: according to this verse, by Allah's attribute of justice, the disbelievers, after suffering torment for many thousands of years by the measure of the hereafter, complete their punishment, and He turns them into a state where they no longer suffer; no longer suffering, forever they continue to remain in Hell as in a prison: that is how I understood it. Yes. You understood correctly. After burning there for many thousands of years, as the logs of Hell they will remain, it says.

What does it say? Logs of Hell. A log has no feeling. It has no nervous system either. A log burns and burns and stays. Because souls there are immortal. These too will burn and burn and stay there. Forever.

Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 86, on page 12, our Lord says: the torment will not be lightened. He says rightly. It will not be lightened. And they will not be helped either. That is also right. Now the words seem to contradict, but there is no contradiction here. I will explain it to you. He asks: in Al-Anbiya verse 15, is the situation not a lightening of the torment and help? How should we understand it? I respectfully kiss your blessed hands. Now,

someone went into a prison. In prison some have iron balls on their feet. Some are taken to dungeons. There they count one day as two days. Sir, about such places of torment Allah Almighty says, they will enter the fire, Their torment will not be lightened. Why? They will suffer as much torment as their punishment is. That's why. After this punishment ends, (?) does not end. If the punishment ended, he would leave Hell. But the torment that is the penalty for their crimes ends. Otherwise the crime goes on. What is the crime? It is denying Allah and His Messenger. A person who denies Allah and His Messenger belongs to Hell forever.

So in this case, because he denied Allah and His Messenger, he is forever in Hell, but their punishments end. In fact, what does it say in a verse? Their torment in the fire, it says, whenever its flames die down, We will strengthen the flame, it says. So he will certainly suffer the full penalty of that torment. Then, after burning for many thousands of years, it says, look, after burning many thousands of years, they will remain as logs of Hell. Now, if we were to open up its meaning, there is no life in a log. When I say there is no life, it doesn't mean there is death. I will explain life to you too.

And they have no nervous system. Now if it says there is no life, how should we understand it, Hodja? There they neither live nor die, says Allah Almighty. In the verse. They neither live nor die. Now what is living? Look, in the heat we drink cold water, we cool down, people go into the sea. The man is living, I mean, living. Ah, and then: they neither live nor die. So they are in that torment. There is no living there. There is being in torment. But there they will cry, destruction, where are you, but there is no death, it says. And their torment will not be lightened. After suffering that torment, since they are forever in Hell, there this time we put it like this, and they cannot understand that either.

Again, Allah's mercy reaches them. Because since they are logs of Hell, Allah Almighty takes away their nervous system. They burn and burn there. They neither die nor live. But they feel no pain. Well, isn't this Allah's mercy on him? He remains there as a log of Hell. But forever in Hell. Well, why doesn't Allah kill him? Because souls are immortal, that's why.

Yes. To grasp these matters, one needs a great deal of experience. (?) Yes.

Such a verse, how many places does it reach? Yes. The verses, look, never contradict each other. They all support each other, and Allah's justice comes to light. His justice. What else is there, let's see Surah An-Nahl, 101. verse, we left off at its footnote. Okay, I understood, sir (?) he says, okay, I understood, Hodja, may Allah be pleased with you, he says. May Allah be pleased with all of us. Yes.

Let me also tell you this. Eight kutbulahdap will come to the world, it says. Each of them will come every two hundred years. The year is 1445. A time in which the seventh kutbulahdap lives. People are searching, who is this lost imam, they are searching. And until now we never spoke about ourselves. Or even if they come, they don't value us and pass by. This man has no Arabic, they say, no outward knowledge either. Sir, what knowledge will this one have, they say, and pass by. But a person is not valued for knowing Arabic. Nor is a person valued for having outward knowledge.

No Arabic. No outward knowledge either. No memorisation of the Word either. By that measure, value is not given either.

Hodja, are these not valued at all? No. They are the crown on our heads. Those men have studied. But we did not combine all of these together.

Of the people Allah Almighty sent to mankind as heirs of the prophets, that they must necessarily know Arabic, there is no such word.

Is there a verse for what you say? There is. Where? Where is the verse? Look now. Let me read you the verse, where is it now?

I am going to read you the verse.

What does it say Surah Ibrahim, verse 4. Pay attention. So that he explains Allah's commands to them well, every prophet We sent only in the language of his own people. In the language of his own people. It doesn't say I sent them in Arabic. We sent them in the language of their own people. Now, whoever wishes from Allah (?), and whoever wishes enters the right path. For He is the Owner of might and wisdom. So if Allah sent me here speaking your own language, Turkish, and if, so that I can explain Allah's Word to you better, I address you in Turkish words, is that too much for them? I am the seventh kutbulahtam.

I say I am the imam of the time. You prove the opposite to me. I prove it to you with verses. I am telling you the truth.

Come on, bring forward a person who explains the truth like this. And moreover, the Quran has been interpreted wrongly in the world. Bring forward a man who will interpret them correctly. I am proving it to you. I am proving this verse to you.

Did they think they would put out Allah's light by blowing with their mouths? Allah will keep His light going until the Day of Judgement. This is one. We remove the falsehoods that entered the verses. Second. Allah does not call anyone to account for something He did not make known. Who is explaining Allah's verses (?) to people?

Today, who stands up in the world and says there is no religion but Islam, and under the guise of religion to priests or to rabbis, or to popes, who addresses them?

Who invites these people to Allah?

If you had any sense, you would think a little. And I say, ask me whatever you like. Let me answer you with verses.

I never speak to you in any way so that you recognise me. Because there is a hadith about me. They will not believe in me either. You too are fulfilling the hadith. But at least (?) the truth. (?) the truth. Whether you recognise me is not important at all. Yes.

isn't it so?

we tell and explain the truth. Well, if I had not said this, how would you have recognised me?

if the prophet did not say I am a prophet, how would you recognise the prophet? no, supposedly they don't make themselves known, he would find them; if you could find, you'd have found by now anyway if you could find, by now the words that Allah and His Messenger left you would know well, and there you yourself would have found the truth too; but you have said the kalima shahada, you are a Muslim, (?) (?) we come to Surah An-Nahl, we had stopped at verse 101. Ah, it says it here. He puts this forward. So here we left the words unfinished.

Surah Al-Anbiya 15. Verse 15, page 322: according to this verse, Allah's attribute of justice, the disbelievers, by the measure of the hereafter, many thousands of years. We explained that, I think. Now here comes another question. Al-Baqarah Surah, verse 86, on page 12, on page 12, our Lord: the torment will not be lightened and they will not be helped. We explained this part too. He asks: in Al-Anbiya verse 15, is there not a lightening of the torment and help? Its lightening. Is the situation in the verse not a lightening of the torment and help? How should I understand it? There is no such thing there; let's see.

Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 15. There, Surah Al-Anbiya. Let's see.

Surah Al-Anbiya. 321. We're already here. We opened it straight away. It has come up. 15. Until We turned them into a dried, mown crop, a burnt-out fire, these cries of theirs die out and come to an end, it says.

What does it say here? The situation in the Anbiya verse, a lightening of the torment and help, is there not? We explained this; he should have understood. What does it say? Until We turned them into a dried, mown crop, a burnt-out fire, these cries of theirs go on. What is this? After they burn for many thousands of years, them We will leave there as logs of fire, it says. That is, We will leave them as logs. Well, we explained this. We said a log has no nervous system. Allah Almighty is in fact proving here what I just said. What does it say? A burnt-out fire, it says. A log; since a log has no feeling and no life, even if you burn it, it still will not feel pain.

So Allah Almighty: after burning many thousands of years they will serve their punishment, that punishment of torment they will serve. But by Allah's Word, according to the verse where He says those who deny Allah are forever in Hell, in the eternal life of Hell they will neither live nor die. this too confirms what we said anyway; how beautiful: We, until We turn them into a dried, mown crop, a burnt-out, burnt-out fire, these cries of theirs go on, it says; this supports the verse, after many thousands of years of burning; after that they will not feel and not taste; so we say that there too Allah's attribute of justice appears, surely, every crime will have its recompense.

If this one is immortal, if he committed a crime, he will serve that crime, but there his place will remain Hell forever. He will have served his crime, but he will no longer suffer pain. Yes.

I understood, sir. May Allah be pleased with you, he says. Hüseyin Ulutaş says so. Yes, Hüseyin Ulutaş. Surah An-Nahl, verse 101. Now listen to this carefully.

Just stop and see how they attribute qualities to Allah Almighty. When We bring one verse in place of another verse, and Allah knows best what He sends down. Look, pay attention: when We bring one verse in place of another verse; that is, Allah did not know, He sent people a verse, then when He realised that verse was against people, He took it away and sent another verse in its place.

Shame on those who interpret it like this. There it is, they say there is naskh in the Quran.

And they show a verse for this, gentlemen. They show a verse for naskh.

Who shows this? Scholars, scholars. Remember, he says you are not the qutb, you are not the qutb. Well, how will someone who is not the qutb interpret these? He has no Arabic either, look, no outward knowledge either.

Allah Almighty: do not marry idolaters.

They call you to the fire. But Allah invites you to Paradise, it says.

And in another verse after it: you may marry disbelievers. You may marry disbelievers from the People of the Book. Look, they say this verse was abrogated by this verse. May Allah grant you good alertness. So that you solve these and do not attribute qualities to Allah. Idolaters are people who recognise neither Allah nor a book; and your children, honoured with Allah's verse, do not give to them. do not marry idolaters, says the verse. Marry from the People of the Book, it says. The People of the Book are one thing, idolaters another. If you confuse the idolater with the People of the Book, and you say there is naskh in the Quran, that Allah Almighty said We repealed one verse, and have the other verse put in its place, and if you deny the verse where He says whatever Allah said in pre-eternity, in eternity too it is that,

what more can we say to you?

Yes.

Shame.

Now I am reading the wrong one. When We bring one verse in place of another verse, and Allah knows best what He sends down, they said, you are only a fabricator. No, most of them do not know. The verse after it is so beautiful anyway. Allah knows best what He sends down, it says. He has already sent down what He sent down. Yes. When We reinforce one verse with another verse, that is, so that people do not misunderstand it, so that they distinguish idolaters from disbelievers, it says reinforcement here. It says, do not marry your idols, you see, lest they put the disbelievers in the same category, and not marry disbelievers either.

(?), so that they do not understand it that way, this time it says reinforcement. This is reinforcement, you see.

Allah knows best what He will send down. They said, you are only a fabricator; no, most of them do not know. Here the wrongly interpreted part of the verse is this. When We bring one verse in place of another; the correct one is: when We reinforce one verse with another verse. Because they interpreted this verse wrongly like this, they attributed qualities to our Lord in many respects.

One, our Lord, over time, seeing that what He wrote as right was wrong, erases some of His words and again writes what He sees as right.

2. Since our Lord does not know what people will do in the future, according to the time, to people He sends His ruling. 3. In this case, because they do not understand our Lord's verses, there is naskh in the Quran, they say. They treat the disbeliever and the polytheist as the same. They do not know what disbeliever and polytheist mean. The disbeliever is of the People of the Book. The disbeliever is of the People of the Book. The polytheist recognises neither Allah, a book nor a prophet. Our Lord: do not marry polytheists. They call you to the fire. But you may marry disbelievers, He decrees.

These people who cannot tell what a disbeliever and a polytheist are, writing Quran translations, say Allah abrogated this verse with that verse, and to our Lord they attribute qualities.

We have come to Surah An-Nahl, verse 102. Say: the holy spirit, pay attention, the holy spirit has become Gabriel. Gabriel, to give steadfastness to those who believe, to guide Muslims to the right path and to give them good news, from your Lord's presence, as the truth, sent it down. This verse is wrong from start to finish. From start to finish. May Allah reform it, we will say.

But I estimate that for centuries, not the authentic text of the Quran's verses, the owner of the text is Allah, they have tampered with its translations. Just as a Jew in the guise of a hodja, in Mecca the Honoured (?), and in Medina the Illuminated, said: to three thousand hadiths, three thousand I added, (?) let them sort it out. And I said, I will sort out those (?). I sorted out 7,300 hadiths. And here I am now (?) these verses. The verses. What does it say? Say: the holy spirit, Gabriel. The holy spirit is not Gabriel. Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran, and to (?) and to Michael and to Gabriel, those who are enemies. Pay attention.

To (?), to Michael and to Gabriel, those who are enemies are enemies of Allah too, it says. There is a distinction here. They interpreted this wrongly too. And Allah is their enemy, it says. Allah is nobody's enemy. Did you make Allah, like yourself, a captive of the feelings of the nafs, the enemy of those He is angry with, did you? Allah (?) from all of this.

Yes.

And to give steadfastness to those who believe. Gabriel would supposedly give steadfastness to those who believe. He would supposedly guide Muslims to the right path.

It's astonishing. At the address Elestü bi Rabbiküm, of the people who made a covenant with Allah Almighty they removed the covenants too. They removed Allah's covenant-making too. And they interpreted the verse in a way not even a random child would. And to give them good news, He sent it down from your Lord's presence as the truth, it says. It's astonishing.

Well then, Hodja, you read the correct one, let's see. Anyway, you'll read it. I won't read it, I'll explain. Say: it, that is the Quran, so that they become Muslims, so that they become Muslims, the world's people, look how beautiful, the world's people, so that they become Muslims and, finding the right path, receive good news; when they find the right path, so that they receive the good news of Islam, your Lord who is the holy spirit, your Lord who is the holy spirit; the holy spirit is not Gabriel, the holy spirit is your Lord, sent it down from His own presence as the truth, it says. From His own presence. Now read this once more, you will understand it better.

Say: it, the Quran, so that they become Muslims and, finding the right path, receive good news, your Lord who is the holy spirit sent it down from His own presence as the truth. We said they interpreted this whole verse wrongly; that's what we said. Here, Gabriel has been taken as the meaning of the holy spirit. Gabriel is not the holy spirit. The holy spirit is our Lord. Because Gabriel was created from light. Those who interpreted the verses without knowing these meanings well turned the verses into superstitions. Will is of two kinds.

One, universal will. The second, partial will.

Universal will is our Lord, who is the holy spirit. Partial will is in people. Because in people there is the spirit, as a part of our Lord. Our Lord, the universal will, the Holy Quran which is in the Preserved Tablet, on the 27th night of Ramadan, at the Sidrat al-Muntaha, to the place called Qadr, sent down. Gabriel, on duty, from the place called Qadr, by our Lord's command, whichever verse he was to recite to the Prophet (peace be upon him), that verse he would take and recite to the Prophet (peace be upon him).

With what? By Allah's command.

Why? Whichever verse he took, he recited it, because Allah Almighty revealed it to the heart of the Messenger of Allah and would say, you will never forget. In the verse, so that he be at ease. To Jibril al-Amin, on the Night of Qadr when He sent down the Holy Quran, He would say: recite such-and-such surah to My servant Muhammad. He memorises that surah there; their memories memorise like a tape, and he would recite it to the Prophet. And the Prophet would say of Jibril, Jibril's recitation I liked very much, he says.

otherwise Jibril does not reveal; they say Jibril revealed, don't they; Jibril is within time and space, while Allah Almighty is beyond time and space; Gabriel, within space and time, to the Messenger of Allah recites, while Allah Almighty, outside time and space, to the Prophet (peace be upon him), reveals to his heart; revelation is the Quran, revelation is the verse. Jibril (?) takes the verses within time and space and recites them to the Messenger of Allah. Is this revealing?

They could not grasp these either. They could not understand these either. They interpreted the verses falsely and wrongly.

Yes. If only people would listen to us. If only they would learn the truth. yes our Lord, who is universal will, the Holy Quran in the Preserved Tablet, on the 27th night of Ramadan, at the Sidrat al-Muntaha, to the place called Qadr He sent down; Gabriel, on duty, from the place called Qadr, by our Lord's command, whichever verse to the Prophet (peace be upon him) he was to recite, he would take that verse and to the Prophet (peace be upon him) recite it. Furthermore, the wrong part is this. They say, to guide the Muslims to the right path. The truth is, the Quran came not to the Muslims but to all the worlds.

So that they become Muslims and, finding the right path, receive good news, my Lord who is the holy spirit sent it down from His own presence as the truth, He decrees. They taught it so that, when I was in Germany, one of the hodjas said exactly this. The Quran came to the Muslims. What are you saying, hodja, I said. What are you saying? Then the Prophet too came only to the Muslims, is that it? Ve mâ erselnâke illâ rahmeten li'l-âlemîn, and I sent you as a mercy to the worlds. The Quran too was sent down to the worlds.

Since the Prophet (peace be upon him) came to all the worlds as a mercy, he invited all people to Islam. Since the Quran too came to all the worlds, it addresses all the worlds. Which Muslim are you talking about, I said.

I lived these, lived them; my ears heard them. These are hodjas.

One of them, while I was there, says to me, do not call disbelievers disbelievers, he says. It's a sin, he says. A hodja; this one too is a hodja there. So these are words said by people trained there, in the guise of hodjas, to draw people away from religion. I said, son, I am not the one saying it. Allah Almighty says disbelievers in the Quran. If He says disbelievers, and I say disbeliever, if I am saying the verse, is this a sin, I ask.

Is reading the verse a sin?

He went silent.

He probably thought we were like the other hodjas. With his words he would tell us certain things. Yes.

We have come to Surah An-Nahl, 104. verse.

Aren't there those who do not believe in Allah's verses, it says. Aren't there? Allah does not guide them to the right path, and for them there is a painful torment, it says. Let's put a (?) here.

This didn't write. Why didn't it write? We'll take this out. This is its habit. We'll plug this in here once more. Now it will write.

Yes.

There is a torment, it says.

What does it say, let's read it once more now. The wrongly interpreted verse. (?) accepts this as correct. Look what it says. Aren't there those who do not believe in Allah's verses? Surely Allah does not guide them to the right path, and for them there is a painful torment. It says.

Who has repented to Allah and Allah did not accept his repentance? This is one.

Aren't there those who do not believe in Allah's verses, it says. Today, among disbelievers, aren't there those who do not believe in Allah's verses? There are. Then aren't there those who become Muslim? There are. Doesn't this contradict the verse?

The meaning of this verse is not like that. This verse's meaning is not like this. Aren't there those who do not believe in Allah's verses? So? As long as they remain in that state, surely they cannot find the right path. As long as they remain in that state. If he turns back, if he repents, it means he has found the truth. Why do you interpret the verse wrongly? Why do you remove Allah's attribute at-Tawwab?

This verse goes much deeper, mind you. For example, people say, Hodja, go deep and explain one of them, come on, let's look deeper, what is this? Let me explain one to you. Allah Almighty places a Muslim in the loins of a disbeliever. And in the loins of a Muslim He places a disbeliever, places a soul. What did He do? In the loins of a disbeliever, a Muslim soul. And in the loins of a Muslim He places a disbeliever's soul. So that the disbeliever does not say, You sent me to a land of disbelief, had You sent me to the abode of Islam, I would have become a Muslim; so he does not say that, in the land of disbelief a Muslim soul He places. Then, when they reach a certain time, their religion they search for and convert to Islam.

And the one in the Muslim's soul, that disbeliever soul in the Muslim's loins, also becomes a disbeliever from a Muslim land. Isn't there? There is. Here, an example from the prophets (?). Noah's son went as a disbeliever.

And Azar's son, Abraham (peace be upon him): his father a disbeliever, he himself Islam's prophet.

Allah is free of all deficient attributes.

Yes.

In this verse too, the wrongly interpreted part is this. Allah does not guide them to the right path. Why? Because in Surah Al-A'raf, 172. verse, Allah Almighty made a covenant with people. Everyone's wish and desire, their aim, He wrote for them as destiny. The person who had their own scenario written by their own will: although whether they are for Paradise or for Hell was actually clear there, so that Allah would use His attribute of being Allah, and for no one to question Allah Almighty, verse 134 of Surah Ta-Ha, as a verse, He made known to people. If We, before the Quran, it says, that is, before sending them to the world, had destroyed them with a torment, they would have said, it says: had You sent us prophets and books, we would not have fallen into this vile disgrace; if you were not going to say that, I would not have sent you to the world, He says.

So what is written is written, what is done is done. With our wish and desire, whatever we asked of our Lord, with our own wish and desire we had our scenario written. As actors of our scenario there, in the world, our scenario's scenario we are playing. With our written scenario we prove what kind of people we are. No one will be able to accuse Allah Almighty, no one will be able to question or interrogate Allah Almighty.

Look how beautifully it says it in Surah As-Sajdah, 12. verse. They, it says, came before their Lord with heads bowed: we saw; is there now, it says, a return to the world once more? Look, with heads bowed, it says, before their Lord. Yes. Man's scenario is written, their destinies are written, those characters have been given to him as characters. Now those characters will not change again.

In this verse too, the wrongly interpreted part is this. Allah does not guide them to the right path. The correct one is: as long as they remain in that state, surely they cannot find the right path. Our Lord created people deficient and fallible.

In this case our Lord is at-Tawwab. He is the One who accepts repentance abundantly. Aren't there people who were disbelievers and became Muslims? Among people, isn't there anyone who was a disbeliever and became Muslim? Plenty. In this case they interpreted the verse wrongly. Since our Lord is at-Tawwab, the One who accepts repentance abundantly, when a person repents, turns to the Truth, it is impossible that he not attain guidance.

This, the absolute Owner of the worlds, besides whom there is no other god, La ilahe illallah, that is, besides Allah there is no god, and this universe's absolute Owner, who created this universe from atom to globe: it is our Lord's command.

Those who pass to the hereafter with the kalima shahada will certainly enter Paradise. Pay attention to what I say. They will certainly enter Paradise. What does this mean? Not directly to Paradise; if he has sins, as much as his sins he will go to Hell, which is again a prison, serve his punishment, and finally enter Paradise. He will certainly enter Paradise.

This verse is different.

Your Lord pleased with you and you pleased with your Lord, enter among My servants, enter My Paradise: the people He says this to are different too. These too will certainly enter Paradise directly. And the people our Lord receives with a smiling face. Who are they? Those who are at peace. People who have reformed their nafs and become aware of Allah's manifestations. These verses are very different. How beautifully, (?), Allah has arranged them all. Yes. In this case our Lord is at-Tawwab. He is the One who accepts repentance abundantly. Among people, aren't there those who were disbelievers and became Muslims?

Plenty. In this case they interpreted the verse wrongly. Since our Lord is at-Tawwab, the One who accepts repentance abundantly, when a person repents, turns to the Truth, it is impossible that he not attain guidance.

Until the soul reaches the throat, the door of repentance is open, so a person can come to tawhid.

If he turns to the Truth, going to the hereafter as a Muslim, if his sins outweigh his good deeds, in Hell he serves the penalty for his sins and goes to Paradise. As I said a moment ago. But if he goes as a disbeliever, he stays in Hell forever. I want to say this, addressing all the people of the world. This is Allah's direct command over people. İnne'd-dîne inda'llâhi'l-İslâm. With Allah, the religion: the religion is Islam. The Torah, the Psalms, the Gospel: they are in the Holy Quran. Whoever does not believe in the Quran, in the last one sent, Muhammad (peace be upon him), does not have faith, does not confirm that he is Allah's Messenger, these are either idolaters or disbelievers. Beliefs other than Islam is what these people hold.

All of them are people of Hell. All of them. If among them someone turns to the Truth, accepts Islam, is honoured with Islam, his life he will have saved, he will have become one of the people of eternal Paradise. And there is no person our Lord will not forgive. So now from here, to those living outside Islam and to those who are Muslims too, I call out. Our life is the greatest treasure for us in the universe, the greatest treasure. even if you had money, you will leave it and go; with the good deeds and sins you did, before Allah Almighty you will be called to account. So what is our life a treasure of for us?

The treasure of the kalima shahada. If I go having said the kalima shahada and turned to Allah, how ever sinful you may be, surely you will leave Hell and find Paradise. In the eternal abode of bliss you will live your eternal life. There is no greater treasure than this. Whether you are an idolater, whether you are (?), whether religious or irreligious, whatever you are, but go having said the kalima shahada, may it be granted; turn to Allah, trust Him, repent. Say: my Lord, I lived through a period of ignorance. And not knowing, I rebelled against You. I have only just understood that You are the Owner of the worlds.

I submitted to Your command. Forgive my sin. Forgive me. There is no god but You. All the prophets are true. Muhammad is Your servant and messenger, say. Repent. Turn to the Truth. And when, upon this repentance, to the hereafter you pass, you will attain our Lord's mercy. You will find the abode of eternal Paradise. Yes. Otherwise, with this exposure, this nonsense, this body stripped stark naked, if you are going to become beautiful, if you truly are going to satisfy your nafs, animals, some of them are more exposed than you you, yourself, are unaware that you have put yourself into this verse of Allah Almighty.

I am saying it to those who go about naked. They are like four-legged beasts roaming the earth, it says.

Why does it say this? Because four-legged beasts have no decency or manners. Their backsides are exposed, their private parts are exposed. They are like four-legged beasts. They have no chastity either. Because they mate with all the animals.

And among them there are seagulls that spend their lives with a single mate. There are animals. With a single mate. Until they die. Don't you take an example even from them?

In this case, a fire has surrounded them. A fire.

Satan has taken them in tow,

they have turned their backs on Allah Almighty's verse. Which verse, Hodja?

Allah Almighty says this in His verse. He who created us, I mean, aren't we ashamed before Him? Satan, just as he stripped your father Adam and your mother Eve stark naked and drove them out of Paradise, beware lest he strip you stark naked too, it says. There you go. It's not me saying it. Allah says this.

Well, in this case, what are these if not four-legged beasts roaming the earth?

Yes.

The verses are explicit, look how beautiful.

I am not saying you will at least go like this. Then what are you saying? Why are you insulting me? I am not insulting you. Before you enter an eternal torment, a barrier in front of you I am trying to set. I invite you to the Truth. And you, from the eternal abode of bliss, you, to Allah's Paradise which is the eternal abode of bliss, I invite you. But you have surrendered yourself to Satan, followed your nafs, chosen the road to Hell. I am telling you the truth. Ah, the will is yours. If you want, do whatever you like. I am not saying, why did you do this. Everyone has made a covenant between himself and Allah Almighty.

Everyone's good deeds and sins are his own. I am showing you the way of the Truth.

Yes.

We have come to Surah An-Nahl, verse 107.

This torment is because they preferred the life of this world to the hereafter, and because Allah does not guide the community of disbelievers, it says. Look, they interpret the verses wrongly. We correct them. Look, here it says directly that all disbelievers go to Hell. I do not say it like that. I say, if you go in that state, you will be for Hell. Turn back, I say, turn to the Truth. Use your minds. Allah gathered all the books in the Quran. Examine the Quran with the books in your hands. And examine the Prophet (peace be upon him), who came as a mercy to the worlds, and the Quran, sent to the worlds as a mercy.

But these, look, made the disbelievers directly people of Hell. Look what it says. Because Allah does not guide the community of disbelievers, it says. Whereas look what we say here. A torment: this torment is because they preferred the life of this world to the hereafter (?). They have been stripped stark naked and go about. And we say, O these people, those who do not use their minds, reflect a little, and it is because the community of disbelievers does not want Allah's guidance, we say. why don't you want it; a thousand years of this world are like one day of the hereafter; here, for your life of a few hours, for your nafs's satisfaction, will you be stuck in the torment of an eternal, endless realm? Don't you use your mind at all? I, for your comfort, your salvation, with Allah's verses, to make you worthy of the glory and fame of the One who created you, in that lofty Paradise He has prepared for you, the mansions, the mansions, to give you, if I am inviting you there, am I your enemy or your friend?

About this, the decision, (?) if you use your mind, if you make the right decision, you need to bow your head and say, yes, you are my friend.

And for us to be friends, you need to repent and become Muslim.

Disbelievers are not friends of Islam. Nor is the Muslim the friend of the disbeliever.

Yes.

Is there a verse? There is. Do not take them as friends. Unless you make concessions to them, they will not take you among them.

That's that verse. Here it says it in another way. Now look. Let's open this place, let's see.

Yes, it has come.

No, I have gone too far. Allah is the friend of those who believe. What does this mean? Muslims are the friends of Allah alone. And Allah is the friend of Muslims alone. He is not the friend of those who do not believe. So if you are going to take a friend, it is Allah. And Allah takes the Muslim as a friend. Look, Allah is the friend of those who believe. He brings them out of darkness into light. As for those who deny, their friend is taghut. It takes them from light and leads them into darkness. These are the people of Hell. They will remain there forever, it says. Well then, if I invite you to the Truth, so that for the pleasures of a life of an hour or two here I do not leave you (?) to the oppression of an eternal, endless life, if I invite you to the Truth, if I try to wake you, am I your friend or your enemy? But as long as you remain in that state, I am not your friend, nor are you my friend.

Here the wrongly interpreted part says, Allah does not guide the community of disbelievers. These people are being hostile to you. They interpret it like this. And what do I say? The correct one is: because the community of disbelievers does not want Allah's guidance. What are they doing? They are still running away. And we show you the Truth, we invite you. Come, we say. Our Lord does not discriminate among people, even if one is a disbeliever. For people to attain guidance, the Prophet (peace be upon him), who came as a mercy to the worlds, as Ve mâ erselnâke illâ rahmeten li'l-âlemîn, He sent.

Furthermore, the Holy Quran too, as a light to the worlds and a proof before people, He sent. In this case, if He does not guide the community of disbelievers, our Lord would have excluded the disbelievers from among His other servants. The Prophet (peace be upon him) and the Holy Quran to them He would not have sent. He would have set them apart as disbelievers. In this case, where would our Lord's justice be? Hm? Yes.

Allah Almighty made a covenant with our souls at kalû belâ. At the address Elestü bi Rabbiküm, of everyone He made a covenant with, the wish and desire, as destiny, He wrote for them. Among people, those who accuse our Lord, those who accuse our Lord among people, those who cannot grasp Surah Al-A'raf, 172. verse, interpreting verses like this, our Lord they have not held back from attributing qualities to. Those who interpret verses like this, Surah Al-A'raf, 172. verse, I recommend they read its footnote.

The time has come; our prayer time is passing too, I think; it is evening prayer time here. To meet in the next lesson if we live, may you all be in Allah's keeping. Lillahi Teala'l-Fatiha.

Amin.
