Talk of 13 January 2024

Yes.

We're live, I think.

Peace be upon you.

Check whether we're live.

We are, aren't we?

Yes, yes. I can see it here.

Good evening to you all. May Allah's mercy be upon all of us in the three holy months. Mercy on our departed. And may my Lord grant those who remain to keep the three months safe and sound, my Lord. Today is the second day of the three holy months. Yes. Old people like us, those who cannot fast, if they fast at least three days at the beginning, three in the middle and three at the end, my Lord grants them reward as if they had fasted the whole month.

Before we start our lesson, first look at what the world's biggest so-called religious leader, the Pope, has signed on a matter. On a matter. This Pope, that is, the leader of a so-called religion, when there is no religion other than Islam, and this person who has billions of people following him, look what he says.

From the Pope to same-sex couples, marriage (?). This man should be ashamed, ashamed. Ashamed of his humanity. Never mind leading a religion, ashamed of his humanity. Now, before reading this, let me say this. One truly feels sorry. Sorry for the people, for the people. Billions of people follow one person, and this so-called religious leader approves of homosexuals. This is the so-called representative of Allah Almighty on earth, the one who tells people the wishes and desires of His religion, the commands of Allah Almighty.

That is how he is regarded, isn't it? This person ought to know about religion. A man who signs here like this, with the people of Lot being destroyed for their same-sex relations, he does away with that. By his own reasoning, Allah Almighty decided wrongly and wronged people. This man says this is their right.

Would you follow such a man?

Huh? If he says, I don't believe in that Allah. Right, you may not believe; then show me a proof. This who created the worlds from nothing, who built the heavens layer upon layer, and what in the provisions no one could create, Allah Almighty created and set before us; against our Lord, let me ask you one question; answer my question and I will follow you. Just one question I will ask you. In the face of Allah, for their relations with their own sex, cursing and destroying them, if you give approval to homosexuals, you deny this verse of Allah, you disapprove of it, you claim to give people life with a better mind, you will have turned in that direction; so I ask you just one question, for following you.

Of everything created in this universe, from the atom to the globe, outside of all of these, you create one substance too, prove it to us; say this is outside of Allah creating this universe, then I too will follow you. But that is impossible for me to do, you cannot do it. Then whom do you represent?

You represent Allah, the absolute owner of the universe. But while representing Him, you both attribute qualities to Allah and, to make Allah look helpless, you violate His laws, and you violate His decency and manners over people, His (?) renown, His honour and dignity. Because Allah created man very strong and honourable. According to the verse in which He says, if you seek honour and dignity, honour and dignity are with Allah, if you say or do anything our Lord does not want, you fall into the state of the people the verse describes: they are like four-legged beasts roaming the earth.

And shamelessly, against so many people, in a way that destroys man's honour and dignity, he gives approval to homosexuals. This does not befit a religious leader. It does not befit someone who is a leader. People in the churches below him oppose this. We do not accept what he says, they say. There you go. How can you go along? How will you show these people the way? How can you betray Allah and go against His commands?

Yes. This priest. The Pope. He is the leader of billions of people. Shame on him. Yes.

We will continue with the footnotes of the wrongly interpreted verses. We stopped at verse 201 of Surah Ash-Shu'ara. Let's see, does it say so here?

Let's first close this one.

Let's close this too.

There are some questions. Let's answer the questions first, then start our lesson.

We read this one, I think. He says: What is the wisdom in the sema? In the sema. The wisdom in the sema. Say it, will it say semazen? He wrote semavat. Yes, Hodja. He wrote semavat. But semazen is one thing, semavat another. Semazen means turning around one's own axis. Why do they call semavat semazen, because it turns around its own axis? Because the moon, the sun and the earth turn around each other, that is, around the sun, they call semavat semazen. Yes. Now if he had said semazen, we would explain it. When he says semavat, there is no such thing. What does he say?

Which one was it here, where was it? This one.

They have removed this part. Guest 473, Hodja. Guest 473.

Where was it? Further down, Hodja. It's not down there. If he says semazen here, now, who invented the semazen? Mevlana. Why did Mevlana remember Allah by turning around his own axis, and they took it from him? They continued. His students continued the semazat. The semazat. Some movements they also do wrongly. For example, it came from Allah and went to the ground. The hand like this. One hand like this, one hand like this. That is, it comes from Allah and goes to the ground. Nothing goes to the ground. Nothing is wasted. Allah's mercy always surrounds the universe. Now let's leave that aside too.

Mevlana was a spiritually trained scholar and at the same time a great friend of Allah. One of the friends of Allah.

His doing the semazen, his turning: Allah Almighty, when creating this universe, created the earth in such a way, He created nothing at random. The mountains and plains He placed on the earth, as the earth turns around its own axis, it makes a sound. Take the end of a (?), tie something, tie a string, swing it, it makes a whirring sound. As the earth turns like this, just like the keys of a piano, that tune which Mevlana heard, Mevlana being enraptured in the world and turning, what is it?

I heard it too. And after that I understood why Mevlana turned like this. Those who don't turn, who don't know this, cannot grasp it. They cannot understand. Why does he turn? Yes.

This is the meaning of semazat. Turning around one's own axis. The greatness of Allah Almighty, that He did not create the earth at random, that the mountains make a sound like the keys of an accordion, make a harmonious sound, naturally enraptures a person. He too starts turning around. Then it becomes a custom. This is the wisdom of the semazen. Yes. Is there another question here?

He says there is a lesson on the nineteenth because of the holy night. Yes. We did it. Page two hundred and seventy, he says. We stopped at its footnote. It isn't two hundred and seventy. We are reading the footnote of verse two hundred and one of Surah Ash-Shu'ara. We are reading the wrong one. 'Therefore they will not believe in it, the Quran, until they see the painful punishment.' We read this, I think, didn't we? Yes, Hodja. We read it. We did this. Yes, Hodja. Yes. We said this is a wrongly interpreted verse. In short, maybe there are new listeners. Let's explain it lightly and move on, without reading the text.

This is a wrongly interpreted verse. What does it say? Look: 'Therefore they will not believe in it, the Quran, until they see the painful punishment.' Where is the painful punishment? In the hereafter. Where is the painful punishment? In hell. Those who see the painful punishment in hell and believe, Allah surely by His justice brings out to paradise. But here, those who see that painful punishment and still wait for the Lord of their imagination, who say, tell Malik your Lord to lighten the punishment on us a little, those disbelievers, sons of disbelievers, being eternally in hell, (?) Now is this a verse?

One a person has interpreted by his own head. This is a word written by a Jew. This is a Jewish word. What does the Jew say? No punishment will touch me for more than three days, he says, in the hereafter. When he sees the painful punishment, like the Jew, after three days he'll get out and go to paradise. Catch that. Whereas, 'Therefore, even if they see the painful punishment, they will not believe in it, the Quran.' This is the meaning of the verse. This is also the word meaning. Yes. Even if they see the painful punishment, they will not believe. Why won't they believe? Because that character does not change.

Can you change the nature of a pear? No. A pear will give pears. That seed will give that. So as long as he burns in hell, he becomes an enemy of the One who left him subject to that punishment. The Lord of his imagination will come. He will save him from there. And he will leave Allah, who punishes him, in punishment. These are their thoughts. Yes. Allah protect us.

Allah.

Let's move on to verse 213 of Surah Ash-Shu'ara. 'So do not worship and pray to another god along with Allah, or you will be among those who are punished.' Can a verse be like this? It has done away with la ilaha illallah. There is no god but Allah. It denies the verse Huwa'l-awwalu wa'l-akhiru wa'z-zahiru wa'l-batin. An astonishing thing. Who wrote this like this? Do not worship other gods along with Allah. What, is there a god other than Allah? Is there a deity other than Allah? Scoundrels.

'So do not worship and pray to made-up gods, there being no deity other than Allah, and do not pray to them. Or you will be among those who are punished,' it says. How beautiful. Made-up gods: the gods the polytheists made with their own hands, (?), and worshipped. So look, Hodja, then we don't make gods with our hands and worship them. We know Allah as Allah, we know Jesus, and we also know the Gospel. If you say there is a (?) for us here in this verse, according to this,

according to the verse Inna'd-dina inda'llahi'l-Islam, since it says the religion with Allah is Islam, since the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel are in the Quran, since He sent the Quran as a mercy to the worlds, and after it, to the Prophet (peace be upon him), wa ma arsalnaka illa rahmatan li'l-alamin, since He sent him as a mercy to the worlds, whoever deliberately denies a verse of the Quran and denies the Prophet is a disbeliever. And disbelievers are eternally in hell.

Here a duty falls on the Pope too. To accept Islam and invite people to Islam. The one word this Pope should tell people, and as witness that he wants to be saved from punishment in the hereafter, the word coming out of his mouth will be the testimony of faith. Otherwise they are disbelievers, sons of disbelievers. These are eternally in hell. They also deceive the poor Christian people. They sell paradise for money. Something Allah does not forgive, something Allah would not do. They take it upon themselves. As if they were Allah, they remove people's sins.

Don't believe them.

Look what it says now. We are reading the wrong one. 'So do not worship and pray to another god along with Allah.' You made Jesus a god, you called him the son of god, and our mother Mary you made his wife. Three gods, you said Allah is the greatest of the gods; have you believed in Allah then? Have you known Allah like this? Allah is self-subsisting; He has no need of a woman, a family or a child. Yes. Allah is self-subsisting, needing none of His creation, the First and the Last, who created all these worlds, the absolute owner of this universe, the one and only deity.

All the other beings He created are Allah's servants.

This verse has been wrongly interpreted from the start. 'So do not worship and pray to another god along with Allah,' it says. So is there a god other than Allah? Let's remove this and see.

'Do not worship and pray to made-up gods, there being no other deity than Allah,' it says. In these worlds, in a universe surrounded by seven heavens and the Throne of Allah, is there a deity other than Allah, that it should say, so do not worship and pray to another god along with Allah? Our Lord has indicated in many verses that there is no deity other than Allah. With what? The angels and the scholars bear witness that there is no deity other than Allah. I said, I too am among the witnesses. According to the verse in which He says, when We created these worlds, We did not take (?) as witnesses, I too said, I am among the witnesses.

There is no deity other than Allah. And Allah created these worlds firmly. No created being will be able to say, I am tired of the duty I am to do. Because He created it in the best way. I am a witness. Yes.

In one verse, Surah Yunus, 37, the verse. This Quran is a word sent by the One besides whom there is no other deity. It confirms what came before it and explains the Book. There is no doubt in it. It is from the Lord of the worlds, from your Lord, He says. In another verse He says, the angels and the scholars bear witness that there is no deity other than Allah. In this case the correct form of the verse is: 'So do not worship and pray to made-up gods, there being no deity other than Allah.'

We have come to Surah An-Naml.

They have interpreted the fourth verse wrongly. We are reading the wrong one now. 'Indeed, We have made the deeds of those who do not believe in the hereafter seem attractive to them. So they keep wavering.' Look at the Allah, the Allah they understand. You made the deeds of those who don't believe in the hereafter seem attractive. If You made them seem attractive, wasn't I Your servant? You made them seem attractive to me. I carried out Your command. What do You want from me? Can a verse be interpreted this absurdly?

They've turned it into soup, into soup. Today's people are the result of this soup too.

Whose burden is this, I wonder? Is there no one who takes on the burden of this? There is. Is there no one responsible? There is. Why doesn't he speak up? why doesn't he understand, or why doesn't he explain I swear that, where were we reading, here: 'Indeed, the deeds of those who do not believe in the hereafter seemed attractive to them.' The deeds of those who do not believe in the hereafter seemed attractive to them. Why do they seem attractive to you, and not to you, but attractive to me? Because when you made a covenant with such a Being, Allah Almighty, with your degree of faith, I gave Him a beautiful covenant.

The worldly realm does not seem attractive to you. I made the covenant turning my back on Him. I did not recognise Him. Of course the world will seem attractive to me. In a verse He says, would you bend down for shining gold coins, for yellow ears of grain, He says. How beautifully He says it.

So, the covenant each person gave Allah Almighty by his own will, (?) he had it written. Here that person lives the destiny of his own covenant. And then you blame Allah. You don't know about this covenant. Nor where Allah Almighty made the covenant. Nor where Allah created man. You see man only as a body. You don't know what the spirit, the nafs and the soul are. Of course you talk such nonsense. You talk such nonsense. This verse has been wrongly interpreted from the start. Our Lord does not, in order to punish anyone, make people's inclinations to evil and their deeds seem attractive and leave people subject to punishment, He does not.

Why does He not? Because Allah loves people. Allah is the friend of the believers. He takes them from the darknesses to the light, He says. And Taghut is the enemy of people. It takes them from the light to darkness, He says. That's one. Allah Almighty sent the Quran as a mercy to the worlds. But some hodjas who don't know themselves say Allah sent the Quran to the Muslims. Look. This man doesn't know himself. Did the Prophet come as a mercy to the worlds? Wa ma arsalnaka illa rahmatan li'l-alamin. He says the Quran came to the Muslims, denying this verse as well. To whom did the Prophet come?

He came to the worlds. Since the Quran came to him, the Quran came to the worlds too. Will Allah make it separate? Huh, what will the Prophet say, tell this only to those who believe in you, don't tell it to them? Is there such a thing in a verse? However much they torment you, He says, be patient. Be patient. Call to the truth, He says. Call to the truth. Yes.

What does the verse say? Do not mock any people. It may be that those people are better than you, He says. La ghayba illallah. The keys of the unseen are in Allah's hand. I am good today; who knows I won't be bad tomorrow? You are bad today; who knows you won't be good tomorrow?

Do we have knowledge of the unseen?

Because our Lord's mercy has surpassed His wrath. Our Lord is At-Tawwab. He waits for people to turn back from their own evils, repent and return to Him. In this case the correct form of the verse is this: 'Indeed, the deeds of those who do not believe in the hereafter seemed attractive to them. So they keep wavering.' Why do they waver? Don't they have reason? Even if they have reason, they keep wavering. Why? Because he gave his covenant that way; to those weak in faith or in disbelief, in disbelief, what does Allah Almighty say? They are lying disbelievers, He says. Allah says this; does the Creator not know?

Their covenant was made. We know the secrets of your hearts, He says. We know what you need in the farthest corner of your heart and don't know, He says. Well, in this case, if He says lying disbelievers, they are lying disbelievers. And I don't believe any word of a disbeliever. Today he looks like a friend to you; tomorrow there's no trick he won't pull on you. As long as there's profit today he uses you, and then he turns his back on you and kicks you.

Yes. Of those who do not believe in the hereafter, it says. 'Indeed, the deeds of those who do not believe in the hereafter seemed attractive to them. So they keep wavering.' Because he tries to measure everything by his own reason.

When you reach a dead end, consult Allah and His Messenger, He says. How beautiful. Well, where will I find Allah? The verses. Where will I find a person who knows the verses? The scholars. The hadiths. Go and consult those who know them. Hodja, we consult, but we can't get a proper answer. True. Because we have entered a crooked era now. We are in a (?) ruled by falsehood. We are trying to clean it. We are trying to clean out the falsehood. We are trying to show people the truth.

Surah An-Naml, verse 15. 'And We certainly gave David and Solomon knowledge. They said, praise be to Allah, who has made us superior to many of His believing servants.' Beautiful, isn't it? Where is the mistake here? Look how beautifully it says it. 'And We certainly gave David and Solomon knowledge. They said, praise be to Allah, who has made us superior to many of His believing servants.' Now some people who don't know the realms say Allah willed it so, He did it that way to him. It isn't so. In the address Alastu bi-Rabbikum, when He said I am your Lord, Allah knows those who gave Allah Almighty the most beautiful covenant.

A person, by his own being, by the height of his degree of faith in Allah, since he is superior among people, Allah gives him a duty. Among people. He gives him knowledge in proportion to the height of his degree of faith. Not: I liked some ordinary person, I was very fine, you pleased me. So? I will make you superior to people. You will address them. The man himself has no idea. Well, Allah raises him. Then He would be committing injustice. Well, there you go. Can you attribute these things to Allah? Hodja, where do you get this from? I am a witness to Allah, look at the events. I know it too.

I know Allah's realm too. I also know that Allah Almighty said, I created you. I also know that the people there were divided into three.

I know my covenant too.

If you cannot know these, you cannot interpret the verses. You go astray like this, just like this. And then you say, I interpreted the Quran's verses, and attribute injustice to Allah.

'And We certainly gave David and Solomon knowledge,' it says. True. He gave knowledge. Now why did He give knowledge? He gave me knowledge too. I have a knowledge too. If I didn't have this knowledge, the one who interprets these verses this way, who got a doctorate, knew Arabic, who, let me say, sees himself in a certain place, could I interpret this man's interpretation? Could I correct it? He gave me knowledge too. True. But why did He give knowledge? Now look, here the continuation comes. They say, praise be to Allah for our being superior to many of His believing servants, it says. Who? For our being superior to many of His believing servants, that is, in return for our giving Allah Almighty a beautiful covenant, our Lord by His justice gave us this knowledge, they say. How beautiful.

Will you be able to understand the meaning of this? You haven't seen this place, haven't known it; will you be able to understand this? And then you go and write a Quran, write a translation.

The wrongly interpreted part here is this. They say, who made us superior to many of His believing servants. Allah makes him so. He loves him. He makes them superior to many of His believing servants. Come, He says. He loves them. He will give them a duty.

Yes, and the correct form: they, that is, Solomon and David, we, many of His believing servants, all His believing servants, superior to many who made, yes, who made us superior to many of His believing servants; the correct form is they: praise be to Allah for our being superior to many of His believing servants. Now they confirm the duty Allah gave. How? We gave Allah a beautiful covenant before. And Allah by His justice gave us this knowledge, they say. He gave this knowledge.

If you had given Allah a beautiful covenant, He would have given you that knowledge. Allah, who judges with justice, our Lord who never does any injustice. Now I don't want to say it, but I say it out of necessity, since some misunderstand: Allah Almighty gave me a knowledge too, I said a moment ago. Why did He give it? He gave it to remove falsehoods from our religion. To whom does He give this knowledge? Every two hundred years, to the one who comes, the qutb al-aqtab, He gives this knowledge, that is, to the one of whom Abraham, praying, said, make my descendants imams, to the one descending from our forefather He gives this knowledge, and at the same time, since their degree of faith is higher than their worth, Allah Almighty, without injustice, both to the one descending from our forefather Abraham (peace be upon him) and to the one of high degree of faith, among people, gives that person knowledge, to remove falsehood.

What does this mean?

If you are looking for an imam in the world, Allah Almighty gives knowledge to remove falsehoods from the Quran; the talks that person has given show anyway what he is. I have been speaking for so long. I speak about the verses too. Can any of them get up and say, how did you interpret this verse like this? But about the others they say, this man talked nonsense. Do they? They do. Not one can say of a verse I spoke about, you cannot interpret this verse like this. If he says so, he exposes his own ignorance. I prove it to him with the other verses.

So if you are looking for an imam in the universe, that imam turns out to be me. They make me say this. They force me and make me say it. But there is a hadith of the Prophet about me. He will have no outward knowledge, no Arabic, nor will he have memorised the Quran. Even if he says it is me, they won't believe anyone, he says. And they don't believe. I don't want you to believe. I have no wish or desire for you to believe me. What do I have? The words coming out of my mouth, if they are Allah's words, if they are true, to throw out falsehood, to find the truth, that is what I want from you. Learning this is enough.

That is what we are working for anyway. That is why we print books. That is why we set up the broadcast, and we address the people it reaches. Well, there are so many scholars, so many who know the grammar of Arabic, people with doctorates; why don't they speak up? They understand that I speak the truth, but because they cannot master this knowledge, they keep quiet. That is the inside story. And we, as much as we can, must explain the truth to the religious and the irreligious. We are obliged to.

Who has come forward? He addressed the Pope. Ah, he addresses him. But with false words. They slap him down too. We prove it with the verses. We explain the truth to people.

We are reading the correctly interpreted part. The correct form: they: praise be to Allah for our being superior to many of His believing servants. With the verses they gave. In the wrongly interpreted verses we say we have proved by writing continuously that our Lord never discriminates among His servants. Moreover, the prophets are superior to one another. There is a verse. Even among prophets, the one closest to our Lord in feeling, our Lord, our Lord knows who is closest. When this duty is given, our Lord, leaving the one whose degree is closest to Him, closest in this realm, in degree, and the one of high degree, does not give the duty to the one below him, whose degree is a little less than the other, and put the other under his command.

Say my degree were low now. Say you own a factory, Ahmet, you own a factory. I speak well. I manage the factory's workers well. I have a good rapport with them. And I get them to do the work very well. I understand the work. But you love Fatih. Would you pass me over and give it to him? For your own business.

Since Allah loves these people, would He pass them over and give this to the person below them? Hodja, Allah raises whom He wills. He raises, but Allah does not commit injustice. He gives the duty to the one close to Him and changes him. Changes him even more.

Yes.

Now someone has written here. Peace be upon you, sir.

The scholar of the outward is truly a disbeliever, he says. Don't say that.

Now we cannot say the scholar of the outward is a disbeliever. If the scholar of the outward sees the truth and does not turn to the truth, he is a sinner. To be a disbeliever he must leave the religion of Islam. That is how they taught him. That is how he learned and that is how he goes on. But if he hears the truth and does not turn to the truth,

if he says, I act on what I know,

and if he knows that the person who explained the correct verse, the one explaining, explains it correctly, and he still acts crookedly, then his faith is doubted. That too (?). His faith is doubted. But if he says, I don't recognise the Messenger, he is a disbeliever. If he says, I don't recognise the Quran, he is a disbeliever. If he says, Allah has a family and children, he is a disbeliever. That is, as I said a moment ago, if he deliberately does not accept a verse, he is a disbeliever.

Yes.

So we can interpret what this child of ours said as follows. He says this: Sir, the outward scholars are truly disbelievers. No. (?), he says peace be upon you, sir. (?), the scholars of the outward are truly in ignorance. And when saying that, we will say many of them are among the ignorant. That is the essence of it. A good word. It is exactly so. Not everyone is the same. But many. Many of the outward scholars are in ignorance. He does not deny. But because he does not understand the verse, he interprets it attributing qualities to Allah. According to the verse, deeds depend on intentions. If he understands correctly, if he understands correctly, if he does not deny Allah, and knows the verse correctly too, he is not a disbeliever, he is in ignorance.

He cannot understand its meaning. Surah An-Naml, we have come to verse 57.

'So We saved him and his family, except his wife.' Who is this? Lot (peace be upon him). We called out to the Pope. It came just right. It came. Allah Almighty sends the angels to Lot. And his wife tells his people that very handsome men have come. His people come and crowd at Lot's door, give them to us, they say. And Lot says, don't, don't do this. Don't disgrace me before my guests, he says. And finally, when they start using force, at the angels' look at the people, their eyes (?). (?) says, we are angels, don't you worry. Take your family and leave here. We will destroy this place, they say.

Why did Allah do this? Homosexuality had begun among them.

So Allah cut evil off at its root like this, so that future people too would not suffer this wrong.

You, as Pope, as a religious official, saying I am a religious official, I am a religious leader, have billions of people follow you, and against the people Allah cursed and destroyed, that wrong they did, people have a right to speak. We cannot oppose their own way of life, say, they have a right too, say, put yourself in the position of knowing more than Allah, and then approve of homosexuality. Shame on you. And on those who follow you.

'So We saved him and his family, except his wife; We decreed that she would remain behind among those who were punished,' it says. Here again it attributes qualities to Allah. He didn't want his wife, didn't love her, He will put her in punishment. Whereas: 'So We saved him and his family, except his wife; she was among those who remained behind among the punished.' That is, she herself, not believing in the truth, and going against Allah's command in that way, is not of those people (?). So if you signed this, to the Pope I call out, to the Pope: if you signed this, repent, withdraw your signature.

Because someone who does not want you to be in punishment is telling you this. There, you have fallen into the state of those who are subject to punishment. People make mistakes. From a mistake one returns to Allah with repentance. Allah is At-Tawwab; He accepts repentance abundantly. Withdraw your signature. My advice to you, so as not to remain subject to an eternal, endless punishment in the hereafter: this is a mistake. Turn back from your mistake. Our Lord does not create any of His creation by decreeing it to be in punishment. When Allah made the covenant with these people in the address Alastu bi- Rabbikum, everyone's wish and desire was given to him as destiny.

In this case, when people come into the world, within their destinies, they earn reward or sin from the actual deeds they do, the works they do.

In this case, if our Lord had Himself decreed the deeds people would do in the world, why did He make a covenant with us in the hereafter?

That is, as people, for show, lie with the promises they give to people, is our Lord too like us, like people's feelings? Our Lord in the verse, Surah Sad, 84, the verse, says this: Indeed I always speak the truth, He says. This is Surah Sad. In this case, when they interpret our Lord's verses, regarding the deeds people have done, that our Lord did not determine people's destinies, that is, our Lord did not determine people's destinies. People had their own destinies written by our Lord as destiny with their own wish and desire. So the correct form of the verse is this: 'She was among those who remained behind among the punished.' Yes.

Our tea has gone cold too. Let's drink it, enough. Surah An-Naml, they interpreted verse 59 wrongly. 'Say, My Messenger: praise be to Allah, and peace be upon His servants whom He has chosen.' Always Allah chooses.

They cannot recall verse 134 of Surah Ta-Ha.

(?) Surah Ta-Ha, 47, the verse, and Surah Ta-Ha, 134, the verse. If We had destroyed them with a punishment, they would have said thus, He says. We know, He says. (?) Not something destined for paradise, not something destined for hell. We know you, He says. But I have an attribute. What is that attribute? Allah's attribute. What is it? No one will be able to question or call Him to account. So what must Allah Almighty do? He knows they are disbelievers, He knows they are destined for hell. Here is the verse. If We had destroyed them with a punishment, they would have said thus, He says. If You had sent us prophets and books, we would not have fallen into this vile disgrace; if you had not said that, He says, I would not have sent you.

And here you are, you saw Me here, and in human form at that, you saw Me. It may be that out of pride and arrogance you did not realise that I created you. Now We will remove this too, and send you to a realm of absence. That is, I will send you to a realm where My Being is not seen. But according to the covenant you gave, since We wrote your destinies, here you had (?) written; in the world too you will do the same deeds, He says.

When we say our Lord exactly in human form, this man talked nonsense, they say; can Allah be seen? That's as far as his mind works. Did I say I saw Allah in the world? Who has seen Allah in the world? No one has. Did Moses see Him? He didn't either. To Moses He appeared in the form of fire. Allah Almighty being seen with His essential attribute was with the Prophet, when he ascended in the Miraj. And on his way back, at Sidrat al-Muntaha, it says, that which covered the Sidra covered it. Shamelessly they also say that Gabriel, Gabriel (peace be upon him), said there, if I went one ant's length further I would burn.

The Prophet's ascent to the Throne of Allah, his meeting with Allah Almighty, his return; while he spoke with Allah Almighty, Gabriel (peace be upon him) hears Allah Almighty's speech from the Prophet. There, at the end of the tahiyyat, ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu is said by Gabriel (peace be upon him). Did you know this too? Yes. Gabriel (peace be upon him) says this too. Bear witness, he says, that there is no deity other than Allah. And that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, he says. Well, you are writing this book. How do you say Gabriel there?

And how could Gabriel cover the Sidrat al-Muntaha? And does it never occur to you? In the form in which he first appeared, it says. He appeared once more. In the form in which he first saw, it says. Where? In (?) book. how will you interpret a verse you haven't seen will you be able to interpret this verse with Arabic 'Say, My Messenger: praise be to Allah, and peace be upon Allah, upon His righteous servants close to Allah. Is Allah better, or the partners they associate with Him?' We didn't finish the other one, did we? Yes. 'We saved him and his family,' it says. Let's wrap it up. One paragraph is left.

In this case, when they interpret our Lord's verses, regarding the deeds people wanted, our Lord did not determine people's destinies. People had their own destinies written by our Lord as destiny with their own wish and desire. So the correct form of the verse is this: 'She was among those who remained behind among the punished,' it says. Yes. Now verse 59 of Surah An-Naml, let's do that too. There are some questions here. Let's see what they say here. Let's answer these questions. These are people's needs.

Let's continue. This one. Here. Peace be upon you, Hodja. And upon you be peace. In religion class a topic came up: why can a woman not be a prophet? Could you explain? It's very simple, my child. There is a single verse: men are managers and rulers over women, it says. If they are managers and rulers, would Allah send a woman over men as a prophet, it says. Very simple. 5. (?) verse 59. 'Say, My Messenger: praise be to Allah, and peace be upon His servants whom He has chosen. Is Allah better, or the partners they associate with Him?' (?) We are reading the correct one: 'Say, My Messenger: praise be to Allah, and peace be upon His servants close to Allah, the righteous ones.' Look how beautiful.

'Is Allah better, or the partners they associate with Him?' The idols? The idol worshippers.

The wrongly interpreted part in this verse is this. We read that. The root of the wrongly interpreted verses: being unaware of verse 172 of Surah Al-A'raf and not knowing its meaning, they interpreted the verses wrongly and attributed to our Lord the good and bad actual deeds of all the works people have done. In this case they have both (?) people with our Lord and, since they don't know about the covenant, said that people's good and bad states were decreed by our Lord. He left him subject to punishment. Our Lord decreed it. He chose these. Our Lord made this one superior to that one. With superstitions like these they interpreted the verses, setting them against one another.

Our Lord chooses no one. Peace be upon His believing servants who are faithful and just towards our Lord, adorned with taqwa, or His servants of ilm al-yaqin, or His righteous servants like the qutb al-azam and qutb al-aqtab, it says.

Why does He mention these ones? He does not say peace be upon the Muslims. Among the Muslims, the servants who go to the hereafter as sinners will enter hell and, after suffering the punishment for their sins, will come out of hell. But about the righteous people I listed above, our Lord says this: In Surah Al Imran, verse 81, verse 18, Allah, the angels and the possessors of knowledge, bore witness with justice that there is no deity other than Him. There is no deity other than Him. He is the Almighty. He is the Possessor of judgement and wisdom. Also Surah Al-Fajr, here they didn't include that part. Let us say it.

In Surah Al-Fajr, verses 27, 28, 29, 30: O soul that has found rest, your Lord pleased with you, you pleased with your Lord, enter among My servants, enter My paradise; the people of whom He says this, peace be upon them, may Allah be pleased with them, because these are people who will never come back again, yes, who have attained the manifestation, who know there is no other deity than Allah, and who with their lives and their heads will not turn back. We end our lesson here. Stay well, may you be entrusted to Allah. Lillahi Ta'ala al-Fatiha. Surah Al-Qasas, verse 5, we stopped there; I'll add this at a convenient time, inshallah.

This place is gone anyway, it jumped here; if it jumped here it's somewhere; its place is there. One more verse is missing there, Hodja. No. We will do (?).

This part is left.

Surah Al-Qasas, verse 5, comes here. There's verse 87, Hodja. Hodja, there's verse 87. In An-Naml. Hodja, there's a bit more on that page. There's something missing. Do you have it too? Exactly. Something is missing on this page. One more verse is missing there, Hodja. Surah An-Naml, verse 87 didn't come out there, Hodja. It didn't come out? Yes. We'll do it. We completed those, but it probably wasn't carried over here, Hodja. That's what I think, anyway. I don't know. You know, we worked on them, they came to us, and the missing ones in these footnotes, you redid them all, didn't you; those that were done probably didn't get in here.

This isn't that thing. It isn't the ones that were done. These aren't the ones that were done. Are they? They aren't. It's in this one. Yes. I was going to read these again, add to them and hand them over. Not these. These have gaps. Well, we worked on this here. We'll work on this here. We'll probably do another round of work on this. Find these gaps and let's do them. All right, Hodja. Shall I get it again from, you know, Hüseyin? Get all the missing ones from Hüseyin, one copy. Give it to me. I'll go over this again from the start. I'll complete wherever something is missing. All right, Hodja. Come on, children, to the prayer.

Anything to say? No, Hodja. All right.

Yes.
