Talk of 8 February 2025

Yes.

Guest, a guest has a question. There are many questions, so let's see which ones; we continue. He says, Peace be upon you, Hodja. What the hodjas tell about the creation of the body of Eve, that a rib of Adam is missing, this matter confuses people's minds. Because with today's technology it is clearly seen that men's ribs are not missing. Modern medical anatomy books, autopsy reports and MRI and X-ray images prove that men and women have the same number of ribs. Just so, it is clearly seen that women and men alike have 12 pairs, 24 ribs. This shows that even if a piece was taken from Adam's rib, it did not cause a genetic change and was not passed on to later generations. For example, if a person's bone, arm or leg is cut off in surgery, his children are not born missing a leg, an arm or a bone.

I wonder about your valuable views on this matter, he says. How nicely he puts it. The end here is nice. Now, what we know is that woman is the man's missing left rib, but what the anatomy books show, we do not know. Suppose, let us say, if it says the man's left rib is the same as the woman's, the same pair, even then, since Allah Almighty created our mother Eve from the rib of our father Adam, that is, He creates her from him. Since He created her so, it does not necessarily mean that his rib must be missing. That is: Allah Almighty created Adam from clay. If He created our mother Eve from Adam, she too was not created from clay and then became human, He made her human and from that left rib, but He took from his genes, He took from his bone, and created her from it.

This secret of creation belongs to Allah alone. In this case our Lord, who knows the secret of creation down to its finest detail, Allah Almighty, that the woman was created from the man, that He created her from the man bodily, but not in spirit, bodily, that He created her outward form from the man, and that He created the man from a muddy clay, and that our origin, the body, but its origin, was created from earth and will return to earth, will become earth, how nicely He proves this to us here. In this case, because woman was created from man, she was created obedient to man. The man has one nafs.

The woman, they say, has seven nafs. If a man cannot master his one nafs and does this evil, a woman with seven nafs runs wild.

Although she was created half compared to the man, Allah Almighty creates the woman with a seventh of a nafs too. That is why women are more patient, more obedient. Allah Almighty also says that righteous women are obedient. If a woman with her half nafs has run wild in our time, goes about stark naked, displays herself more vilely than animals,

the man,

compared to the woman, is more covered. Even if he does evil, at least he does not show his private parts as much as women. Are there those who show them? There are. Scoundrels. Cowards. Let us say, those descended from the people of Lot who were destroyed. Yes.

So if Allah Almighty created her from the rib of our father Adam, whether that rib then became missing or became complete, that does not concern us. If anything concerns us, it is that woman was created from man and was created obedient to man. This, this is the meaning anyway. Yes.

Let's see the other one, guest, what does the guest say?

My eyes hardly see anymore, let me put this on and see if I can read it. Peace be upon you, Hodja; and upon you be peace. The wrongly interpreted verses: in your book, Surah Yunus, in the footnote of verse 43 — open that for me. The footnote of verse 43 of Surah Yunus. Here, let's read that place. Allah Almighty, in a verse to the Prophet (peace be upon him), says: My beloved, do not grieve that they deny you. In their time they denied Me too. It is written there in its footnote. The footnote of verse 43.

The footnote is probably here. Where — here it is, there is a footnote. Where did it go? It doesn't matter. What does it say there? There I wrote its footnote. What is the translation of its footnote?

Surah Yunus? 42-43, it says so here. In the footnote of verse 43 — let me bring a footnote here; who takes the footnotes from here? They take these verses away, you know. It is a verse, after all. Open it, let me see, the footnote of verse 43. What does it say? The wrongly interpreted part in this verse said this: "But if they still do not see the truth, will you guide the blind?"

The correct one is: "But if they still do not want to see the truth, will you guide the blind?" Verse 43 of Surah Yunus is not like the first.

Seeing the truth, being enough (?). That is the note. Yes. They have denied our Lord who created them. So Allah Almighty, in a verse, to the Prophet: My beloved, do not grieve that they deny you. In their time they denied Me too, He says. That is what he says. Okay. Okay. That is what he says. This is in its footnote. Now what does he say here? Which verse of which surah is this verse? I could not find it. May Allah be pleased with you, he says. Look, let me tell you. Where is the Quran in my book? Here. Look, let me tell you. Where is this verse?

In verse 71 of Surah Al-Anfal; look what it says, listen well: if they want to betray you, do not grieve. Leave it, we have read that. What does it say? If they want to betray you, do not grieve, because before they had betrayed Allah too. Look, verse 71. What does it say here? To the Prophet too, in a verse: My beloved, do not grieve that they deny you. And what does it say here? If they want to betray you, do not grieve. So denying you — must it literally say "denied"? Betrayal also means denying him. That is, must it say "denied" word for word? There are verses all around. In the verses, some say "do not grieve", some say "they betrayed", some say "they opposed", but the meaning comes to the same.

Yes. They had betrayed Allah too. What does this mean? It means they did not believe in Him either.

Allah gave you power and strength against them. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise, it says. There are many more verses like this. This verse is enough for you. Yes. There are many more. Many. Like this. I have just taken one of them. Yes.

Guest, guest. You ask well. But must we say "he betrayed" exactly? That is, to betray. To commit treachery. Yes.

Hakan Mert Büyü says: Peace be upon you, Hodja. How does one recite over water and blow on it? Can you explain? For example, reciting Ayat al-Kursi seven times, should one blow after each Ayat al-Kursi, or after reciting all of them, is it enough to blow once? Guest Hakan, whoever told you this, go and ask him. I am not a faith healer who blows on people.

I am a person who, with the true meaning of the verses, weeds out the superstitions, those superstitions that have entered the religion. So we will go to this blowing hodja — go to that so-called hodja who only has the name. Ask him. Yes.

Hakan Mert says, Hakan Mert,

guest, guest says: Peace be upon you, Hodja, what do you think about today's Nur community? Is there advice you would like to give to a young person who joins it? Look now, let me tell you something. They ask one of the saints, do you know such-and-such hodja, they say. The hodja, the saint says this: By Allah, from dealing with my own nafs I have no strength left to look around, he says. I had no time, he says. What do I care about the Nur students?

What do I care about the Süleymancıs? What do I care about Ahmet or Mehmet? What you and I need is the true meanings of the Quran's verses. You tell him this too, you say: brother, what are they telling you, what are they teaching? If you want to learn the Quran's verses, if you want to learn the truth, if you do not want to learn the words of people, people who interpreted the Quran with superstitions, come here, look how nicely the Hodja explains the verses, come and learn that. That is your advice. I have advice too. You give my advice.

And if that place does the same thing, let him go there. It is not as if Ahmet or Mehmet must be the one to teach. Whoever teaches Allah's word better, one is obliged to go there and learn. We are not people who put men on our trail and say "I have this many students", people who want to be praised, Allah forbid. We are people who strive to teach people the truth.

Ömer Sefa: Peace be upon you, sir. I have a question about having a sacrifice slaughtered. A Muslim living abroad, assuming he knows nobody in the town where he lives, and he himself does not know how, can he have a sacrifice slaughtered by giving proxy to a non-Muslim?

Can he have a sacrifice slaughtered by giving proxy to a non-Muslim? In this case, if the person slaughtering does not say Bismillah, Allahu Akbar, is there a sin? How should one act? I kiss your hands. Ah! If he himself does not know how to slaughter. A Muslim gave the sacrifice to a non-Muslim, and the non-Muslim took the sacrifice. He laid it on the ground. With the knife at its throat, he will tell him: wait. He himself will recite this verse: Innî veccehtü vechiye lillezî fatara's-semâvâti ve'l-arda hanîfen ve mâ ene mine'l-müşrikîn. I am not of the polytheists. He will say Bismillah, Allahu Akbar.

Now cut, he will say. He has it slaughtered. If he says it so, if he does it so, he has it slaughtered. If he does not know the verse either, while the knife is in his hand, as he cuts with that knife, he will say Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. The Muslim. And the other will strike with the knife and cut. Yes.

Sir, let me open my screen (?) and see. Let this one come up a bit like this. Let's take this over to this side.

Your daughter — thank God, we have now started to see her around here. Peace be upon you, sir. Is a religious marriage that two people with no intention of marrying make, with the intention that at least in Allah's sight it should not be zina, valid? Or is it a religious trick? May Allah be pleased with you.

Now when she says this, this comes to my mind.

People going on Hajj used to pass through Iraq. In Baghdad they would stop the pilgrims and, acting as imams, marry them to women there. And he is going on Hajj. He is going on Hajj. There they married them, saying "we are witnesses", encouraging zina, and then the man goes on Hajj. What is that? The poor man says "he owes me" and passes on. Whom are you fooling?

You cannot fool Allah.

This, as our daughter says, is it a religious trick, she asks. It is a religious trick.

Let me tell you another religious trick. Once upon a time the Prophet (peace be upon him) sends the zakat collector to a rich companion. He says to the companion: I have come by order of the Prophet (peace be upon him). You will give your zakat, he says. I have no zakat, he says. How do you have none? I transferred it to my wife, he says. To my wife. He comes back. He tells the Prophet. The Prophet says: he is telling the truth. He has no zakat, he says. He transferred it, he says. The next year he will take the zakat from the woman. A year has passed. He comes to the woman; I have no zakat, she says.

Why not? Didn't your husband transfer it to you? He did, she says, but I transferred it to my husband. In this way they do not pay zakat.

When the Prophet passes to the hereafter and Abu Bakr takes his place, they try to give the zakat to Abu Bakr. They feel regret. Abu Bakr says: I do not take what the Prophet did not take, he says. Then, when he too passes to the hereafter, it passes to Umar; they come. Umar too says: what the Prophet and Abu Bakr as-Siddiq did not take, I do not take either, he says. He does not take the zakat. And so neither Uthman nor Ali takes his zakat. And so it goes. These are religious tricks. Yes. To make two people commit zina, you marry them, and the one who performs that marriage is in a sin beyond measure.

Sir, if he does it knowingly, it is so, but if he does it with the aim of marrying, there is nothing wrong with it. But if, as you say, they will not marry but he performs a religious marriage in such a way that they will commit zina, they are sinners. Yes. It is a religious trick.

Guest Mi'ot. Mi'o one, he says. Mi'o one, guest Mi'o one. Peace be upon you, sir. First, the first verse of Surah Al-Alaq: "Read in the name of your Lord who created." Can the word "read" here mean in Arabic to gather things and distribute them, that is, to proclaim? Can it mean that?

Give me that verse, Surah Al-Alaq, first verse: "your Lord who created", it says "iqra". Bismi rabbike'llezî. Yes. İkra' bismi rabbike'llezî. Read in the name of Allah, it says. Now which page is it? Hop, look and see. Surah Al-Alaq.

Yes.

Surah Al-Alaq. Page 597. It starts at 597. 597. Yes. 597 596-597 Look what it says now. İkra' bismi rabbike'llezî halak. Halaka'l-insâne min alak. Read in the name of your Lord who created. He created man from a clot of blood. Now what does this person say here? That is: "read in His name" — can the word "read" here mean in Arabic to gather things and distribute them, that is, to proclaim?

The meaning of "read" here is: know well the Quran's fiqh, its religious rulings. Whatever Allah has commanded you in the ruling of His noble Book (?), your Lord has made known His laws for you, to give you life, in a way that will light your path — that is the meaning. It does not mean gather something and distribute it. That is zakat. Give your zakat, He says. Why does He mention zakat? People, knowingly or unknowingly, even if a little, mix the forbidden into their wealth. In return for that forbidden part, Allah Almighty, by having him give zakat, cleanses his small forbidden things.

Otherwise Allah Almighty says read. What does He say? Read in the name of Allah. That is, today people read, yes, they acquire knowledge. But today those who read novels, story books, those who watch perverted films and read their novels are one thing; reading in Allah's name the books written for Allah, and holding a light before them, is another. The meaning of iqra, "read", here: Allah Almighty, of Surah Ibrahim. Look now. Where? Ibrahim, page two hundred and what? Let's take a look there.

Yes.

Sir.

Look at page 240, let's see, is it there? Surah Ibrahim. Sir, he found Surah Ibrahim. Look what it says now in Surah Ibrahim, the first verse: This Quran is a Book, by their Lord's permission, to bring people out of the darknesses into the light, that is, onto the path of Allah, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy, which We have sent down to you. Allah Almighty sent us into the world, but we were in such darkness that we could not see the way before us. Our Lord sent them, to people, books with prophets. He lit the way before them. He made known what they should do. He made known the laws of living like a human, of manners and propriety, of religious rulings.

That is what iqra means: read. Bismi rabbike'llezî — His saying "read in the name of Allah" is this too. You were in darknesses. To light your way, We sent the Quran, that is, the verses, and the prophets, He says. It does not mean in Arabic "something is finished, put it down and distribute it", that. Yes.

Guest Mio asks again. Have you seen that person? He was forbidding a servant when he prayed. Surah Al-Alaq 9-10, sir. 7-2-3-55. My second question is this. Surah Al-Alaq is the first surah revealed, so there is no prayer yet at that point. Could the word salat here have been used in the sense of turning to Allah? Or in the sense of supplication? Now what are these questions of yours? 17. 7th, 2. 2nd verse, in the 7th 2. Let's look now at the seventh thing. Sir, seventh, second (?).

This is a Book sent down to you so that you may warn people with it and admonish people. So let there be no doubt in your heart about this. This, sir, says 3.53. I wonder, are these right? What they wrote, I do not know them. Here it is not as he says. Have you seen that person? Surah Al-Alaq 9 and 10. Surahs. Which? Surah Al-Alaq 9 and 10. Surahs. Not that; here there is 5.31. There is 53. 0.3 and 53. That was the time he sent the message. Is that so? Not that. Is that the time? Yes. Surah Al-Alaq, verse 9 to 10.

We opened it a moment ago. Which page was it? It was 590. Which? 594. Surah Al-Alaq. Yes. We opened that a moment ago. Isn't it 97? Isn't it 597? Yes. 585. 597. Let's see.

96, 97, 9.

So admonish, if the admonition is of benefit, He says. To whom? To people. He says this to people. From the seventh verse on it is about reading anyway. The seventh verse has been interpreted wrongly. It says this: The Quran does not show you glasses for this. Will you be able to read this? We cannot read the red parts. Wait, let's see. We will make you read the Quran. Then you will never forget, except what Allah wills, it says. Now here there is a wrongly interpreted place. It says "what Allah wills". Allah does not will things over people. People have willing from Allah. But you, He says, will never forget.

In the new one, in the correct one: We will make you read the Quran. Except the one who asks of Allah. Look, except the one who asks of Allah. Not "except what Allah wills". Then it would mean that He will make those who memorize forget some of it. Here, Allah does not interfere with what people do in the world. So: We will make you read the Quran. Except the one who asks of Allah, you will never forget. Now we have come to eight. We will make you succeed in the easiest, He says. What is the easiest? Reading it from his heart.

So admonish, if the admonition is of benefit. To whom? To people. Admonish people. Because We sent down the Quran to you. That is, We sent it down as a mercy to the worlds. And We engraved the Quran's verses on your heart too. You will never forget. In this case you will explain to people the verses that are Allah's command, He says. Admonish people. The surah is probably wrong, Hodja. It's not the surah. It is Surah Al-Alaq, Hodja. 9-10. Surah Al-Alaq. Yes. And this is Surah Al-A'la.

Which one? 597. 597 and 91. Wait, let's see. That was wrong. Let's come to 97. 9-10. 95 97 Yes. Have you seen that person who was forbidding, it says. Forbidding what? Against those who follow the truth, sir, he was trying to hold them back from Allah's path. A servant when he prays, it says. So, a servant when he prays. Now every prophet, every prophet has a form of worship of Allah, a form of prayer. Every prophet; the Prophet too, before he ascended on the Mi'raj, first, they too had a form of worship, a form of worship. After the Mi'raj, Allah Almighty commands how it is to be prayed, five times; in the Quran too there is that command of five times. At which time is the prayer to be prayed?

At a certain time of the night. Sir, in the morning, before the sun rises; when the sun is at its height; or when the sun makes a shadow twice its length, when the sun doubles the shadow. The afternoon time; when there is redness in the sky, the evening time; when the redness disappears and brightness comes, the night prayer time. Sir, He describes the times to us like this.

What do you say, that prophet? If he is on the right path. Yes. Now here it is this. What does our brother, our child, say? Let's see. Let's also look here. My second question is this. Surah Al-Alaq 2 is the first surah revealed. So there is no prayer yet at that point. Could the word salat here have been used in the sense of turning to Allah? Or in the sense of supplication? Now if we look at the ninth verse, here Al-Alaq, Surah, seven, eight, nine, Eraeyte'llezî yenhâ eight

Ala, ala — have you seen that person? Here in the ninth verse there is no such thing. Maybe it is towards the end. We will look at it. Sir? Have you seen that person who was forbidding a servant when he prayed? Now the other one is also a verse, a verse of prostration. This verse is probably a prostration verse.

The prostration verse is the eleventh verse. We did not read that. Here, as I said a moment ago, every prophet has a form of worship towards Allah Almighty. The Prophet and those with him at that time, let us say, worshipped Allah Almighty in a certain way. Here worship does not mean salat. Did you see, to whom was he saying what? What does it say? A servant when he prays. Prayer is for Allah. Every prophet prayed. Every prophet. Some in bowing and prostration, some standing and bowing, some in the tashahhud — whatever Allah Almighty commanded, they did that. The Prophet brought the prayer as a gift from the Mi'raj.

A gift. And he made known to us how it is to be prayed. In this case, if this is the first verse, it addresses the way of praying at that time, sir, the Prophet (peace be upon him), or those who prayed, saying "I saw those who forbade". Otherwise, if the first verse is this, the first verse — if in the first verse it is the situation before the Prophet ascended on the Mi'raj, as I said, He gave every prophet a certain form of worship. The Prophet too confirmed a certain form of worship there. He had it done. For example, from what do we prove that every prophet worshipped? The temple in Jerusalem that Solomon built.

What temple was it? The Temple of Solomon. Yes. The Prophet too, while praying, when he was told to turn towards Mecca, while praying in the Masjid al-Qiblatayn, that is, the double, double qibla mosque — turning where he stood from the Mosque of Solomon, he turned towards the House of Allah. So every prophet had a form of worship. This worship is the symbol that people are servants to our Lord's essence and the community of His beloved. Prayers are like that. In the hereafter too, the first question you will be asked is about prayer. If you prayed, you pass with favour. If there is no prayer, you are in trouble.

Now let's ask the second one, let's see. It is here too. My second question is this. Surah Al-Alaq is the first surah revealed, so there is no prayer yet at that point. Could the word salat here have been used in the sense of turning to Allah? You turn to Allah anyway. In prayer you do not turn to yourself, do you? Turn to Allah. So this last word you said, what we have said: every prophet has a form of worship of his own. There is a form of worship that Allah Almighty made known to them. So, could it have been used in the sense of turning to Allah? Or in the sense of supplication. It is not supplication.

It is not supplication. Supplication is separate.

About supplication the verse says this: If it were not for your supplication, what would We do with you? Look, it does not say "the one who does not pray". It speaks of supplication. Today the unbeliever also supplicates. Today the idolater also supplicates. He supplicates to his idols. The other says to Jesus and Mary, to Allah, the greatest of three, they say. Some to Ezra. Sir, in this case supplication is separate, worship is separate. Sir, Hüseyin Ulutaş says, sir, one hodja shows verses 65 and 66 of Al-Anfal as an example of the prayer being reduced on the Mi'raj from 50 times to 5, as a relief (?), and plays a mind game of his own.

With their own minds they try to make a fabricated hadith fit this verse. I wanted these people to hear your answer. May Allah be pleased with you. I kiss your blessed hands. We know this is a superstition anyway, and we explain it and explain it. What did this man say? You should tell me what it says in the hadith. That is, what does that fabricated hadith he cites say? You should put that fabricated hadith here too, so that we can beat it with verses and hadiths. By yourself you now say "five times", he says "fifty times", no, "five times". We have explained this already. There is a lot of it here in my thing, in this situation.

They, to elevate their own prophet, to elevate their own religion, the Prophet too, according to their own minds, to make him cry, saying, no, He gave fifty times, and, sir, "let me tell you," Moses says, "this is too much, your community cannot do this." He brought it down to forty-five, down to forty. When he passed by the other prophets too: "they cannot do this either, you think about it," they said. They thought it down to five times. These are the words of pitiful people. I do not believe that hodja is a hodja either. He too is probably a pitiful person who naively believed in these superstitions and took on such words, or a non-Muslim hodja in the guise of a hodja.

Because there are many such hodjas. Non-Muslim ones. In Medina too, he says, if there are three thousand hadiths, three thousand times (?) — let him weed them out. Now, Allah Almighty did not know to give the five daily prayers to people? The Prophet said it. Supposedly they get the Prophet to persuade Allah Almighty and, sir, bring it down to five times. Supposedly they will praise the Prophet. And after that, sir, they praise their own prophet. We hold every prophet as the crown on our heads. We make no distinction between any of the prophets. Whoever denies a prophet becomes an unbeliever. Now in this case Allah Almighty wrote the Quran beforehand; before the worlds were programmed He wrote it first, and according to this word He programmed the worlds.

How the future will be, what He will create, what will happen — all of it He wrote out as a project in the Quran. Look. This is a project. His words are a separate project. With Us there is a Book that is preserved in the Preserved Tablet. Nothing is added to it later, nor taken from it, He says. So He made the project, prepared it, then began to create. Allah could not know — they described Allah like this too, they had Him reduce fifty times to five times. Yet here the five daily prayers are described. Described where? In the Quran. In the Quran, before people were even created, the Quran was written. This Quran is Allah's word; if Allah exists, it is in the Quran.

Yes, they are pitiful people. Whether it is Hüseyin or someone else, next time tell me who said what; you will tell me what he said, and I will answer what he said. How do we know that man did not say something right and you did not misunderstand? You will tell me what he said, to me.

Guest Sinan says: Hodja, I kiss your hands. May your hands be many. Is it a sin, Hodja, to eat or drink something while in a state of janabah, or to cut beard, hair or body hair, he says. In janabah, if you take more than seven steps, the ground trembles, it says. Sir, unless you are going to find water. Deeds depend on intention. You can neither eat food nor drink water. If you cannot eat food or drink water, instead of getting up to shave, if you shaved beforehand, and then went in and washed, freed yourself of janabah, and then came clean and fresh and shaved your beard, wouldn't that be better?

Now you insist on cutting the beard — sir, what does it say here? Is it a sin to cut beard and hair while in that state? Would it be a sin? Hodja, he says. Let him do nothing at all, since you will wash anyway. You are impure. First you will get rid of the impurity. What is this impurity? When you are in janabah, all over your body there are these pores in the skin. From there all the body's impurities spurt out. That is why they say, they say that if on the body there is a dry spot the size of a needle's eye that the water did not touch, your janabah is not lifted, they say. Because the impurity was not cleaned from there.

Yes.

I understood, sir, may Allah be pleased with you. Our child Aydınlığı says: Hodja, peace be upon you, I kiss your hands, half (?). These days not a day passes without some new strangeness coming up before us. To words like yours I said something like this long ago. A time will come when you will see things we have never heard of, I said. Words we have never said will be said. States we are not used to will appear. If someone tells you something outside the religion of Islam, that is, tries to turn your mind, do not believe them. Yes.

A few days ago my husband came to me and said: in the Quran wine is made forbidden. Alcohol drunk to a degree that does not intoxicate is not forbidden. He said it right.

He said it right. You know the palm of the hand, the palm: if you take alcohol the size of a ten-kuruş coin on it, there is nothing in that. Because it disappears in your mouth.

If he goes and says this about drink, Allah does not contradict one thing He said with another thing He said. If drink is forbidden, it has become alcohol. If you take that alcohol, that too is forbidden for you. Whatever I said before, Allah Almighty says, I say that in the hereafter too. That husband of yours has misunderstood this.

Then, he says, Imam Ghazali supposedly said something like this. And I said: are you giving a fatwa of your own?

Imam Ghazali said something like this too. And I said: are you giving a fatwa of your own? This cuckold who drinks alcohol in the open, you too have started to resemble him, it has slowly spread to you, I said. Your partner is a cuckold who drinks alcohol — how well you have said it. You too have started to resemble him, it has slowly spread to you, I said.

Now let us say this much: if it is forbidden, taking a little alcohol in a way that does not affect a person — as I said, a spot in the palm of the hand, alcohol enough to wet a spot the size of a ten-kuruş coin — there is alcohol in your pills too, there is. This much does a person no harm and disappears in the mouth. However, Allah Almighty says this: when you take alcohol, He says, at that time, do not come near the prayer. Until you know what you are saying, He says, look. Do not come near the prayer until you know what you are saying. Well, if he does not know what he is saying, if this man is in the state of a madman, if Allah Almighty created man honourable, would He let alcohol drive this man into madness?

What does He do? He forbids it. He forbids it. Well, bring your husband here to ask me, and I will answer him with a verse. Then, why does Allah Almighty forbid alcohol to man? A person who drinks alcohol, as soon as he drinks it, his blood thickens. The heart valves are strained. And after that, heart valve and heart diseases begin. Aren't there any today? Plenty. Plenty. That is from drink.

So, "my body is mine, what is it to you" — that is, if I get a heart valve problem, you cannot say this. "I will call you to account for how you used the trust I gave you," He says. What is that trust? The trust of the body. Do you think that it is yours? It is a trust given to you. When you come before Me with a driver, He says — that is, your spirit was driving you — when you come before Me with that driver, I will make it a witness against you, against your spirit, He says.

She is upset, her spirits are low. One day, seven (?). Hodja, like the religious marriage a moment ago, there is a crowd trying to squeeze fat out of a fly. What awaits our children? It is very frightening. What do you say, sir? May Allah be pleased with you. We speak according to the verses anyway. Our time is very bad. We cannot look after our children. Now a law is coming out too. People aged 18 can live separately, it says. The concept of family is disappearing. And zina is increasing.

We will look after them only as much as we can. Where we cannot, everyone will live his own destiny. Because every person made a covenant with Allah Almighty. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

We made a covenant with the descendants of the children of Adam. We made them witnesses against themselves, witnesses against their nafs. "We are your Lord," We said, He says. There each person's own wish and desire became his destiny. But we, from now on, will only tell them about Allah. Just as Jacob (peace be upon him) told his twelve children. I tell my children the same. Whom will you worship after me? The One Allah, Jacob's children said to him. So in this way he leaves his advice, his inheritance, to them. Our inheritance is not an inheritance of money, not an inheritance of wealth. Our inheritance is an inheritance of religion.

Because Allah Almighty says this in a verse. I say no word that is not a verse. The heavens and the earth and what is between them know the remembrance of your Lord; every soul will taste death; the inheritance of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah, He says. Allah created it, my Allah, it will remain to Allah. We have no right in anything; we only use the trust Allah has given. And while using it, through the deeds we invent, we earn reward and sin. May Allah grant light to our future and good understanding to our children. Yes. Is there another question? Let's see. There is.

Guest 458. Peace be upon you, Hodja. Among the Arabs, they say "shajara" means the lineage, the family tree. In the hadith: unless the Muslims kill the Jews, In the hadith: unless the Muslims kill the Jews, the Last Day will not come. Indeed, that stone and tree will speak and say "there is a Jew behind me, kill him", and that only one tree will not speak, says the Prophet (peace be upon him). Those who interpret this hadith say the tree means lineage, race; that all the nations will tell where the Jews are, that only one nation will not tell, and that this nation is connected with the word gharqad, they say.

Is this right, Hodja? May Allah be pleased with you in advance.

Now let us say the verse.

On the earth your faces will be blackened twice. As in the first one, Our strong and mighty servants will come, He says. Our strong and mighty servants will blacken your faces again. Knowing they will be defeated again, they make places in their (?) to protect themselves. As if they will make Allah's verse come to nothing. They fear this. So nowhere — in that hadith the Prophet (peace be upon him) says even if there is a bush behind you, they will say "there is a Jew here". In the verse too, He says, they have the right to live only under the protection of the believers. So the Jews founding a state is one of the signs of the Last Day.

A day will come when those strong and mighty servants will drive them from the earth. That word gharqad he mentions, I hear it for the first time. Allah knows best. I do not know it. The hadith does not mean that, with that word gharqad, the others will not tell. But it may correspond to this. The Freemasons today stand by each other a lot. Of course, even if they are from other nations, they protect the Jews. Today, even though they commit genocide, even though there is an arrest warrant for, sir, Netanyahu of the Jews, nobody can do anything. And now, after the exchange in the Middle East (?), perhaps he will break the agreement again.

Such a fellow, a genocidal one, one of the people Allah has cursed. Surely these, their lineage will disappear. Perhaps those gharqads may be that. Guest, guest says: Peace be upon you, Hodja. I kiss your blessed hands. A Hafiz named Prof. Dr. Mehmet Okuyan says that in Surah Al-Ma'idah, verses 116-117-112, it is stated that Jesus died. That is what he tells. These are superstitions, and these people are people who deny the verses. Those who deny the verses.

A verse that a person has interpreted according to his own mind. Surah Al-Ma'idah 116-117, let's look now, Surah Al-Ma'idah — Surah An-Nisa, after that comes Al-Ma'idah — An-Nisa, Surah 126, Surah An-Nisa, Surah An-Nisa 126, we will look. We have come to Al-Ma'idah. One hundred twenty-five, one hundred twenty-six, look, one hundred twenty- six. Allah: O Jesus, son of Mary, was it you who said to people, take me and my mother as two gods besides Allah? If this pitiful man says Jesus died on the basis of this verse, I say: either a non-Muslim hodja trained to turn Islam into superstitions, a corrupted hodja, or some pitiful fellow. This verse is after the Last Day; after the Last Day He will call Jesus and say: was it you who said this?

This is after the Last Day; otherwise right now he is alive. Together with the Mahdi he will rule for forty years. Then both will taste death again. The Prophet will have tasted death twice, and in the hereafter his body is raised and He will not call his body to account. According to which verse? In Surah Al-Fath. According to the verse "We have forgiven your past and future sins". To explain these to you too I need time. What are you saying, huh?

Sir, when He says "was it you who said, take two gods", he says: far be it, I declare You free of that. Sir, it does not befit me to say what I have no right to. And had I said it, You would surely have known it. You know what is in me. But I do not know what is in Your essence. You alone are the one who knows the hidden things fully. This is a situation in the realm of the hereafter. He says again: I told them only what You commanded me. I said: worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Where? When he was alive. They shut him up in the church, the synagogue. Sir, in the synagogue there are the disciples.

The disciples — forty disciples — tell what Jesus taught anyway. They too spread over the world and tried to tell people what Jesus said. At that moment Gabriel (peace be upon him), from the hole above in the synagogue, calls him: come. And he says: my head, my body, sir, my shoulders — will they pass through there? That is the sign. Will they pass through there? When Gabriel (peace be upon him) calls, he takes him up to the heavens. It is said he is alive in the first heaven. In the first heaven, but which heaven I do not know. Yes. But they say the first heaven. He has not yet tasted death, he is alive.

Read this to that pitiful man. Let him listen to my words. I told them only what You commanded me. To whom? To the disciples, to people. I said: worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. As long as I was among them, let me watch over them, he says. As long as I was among them. Then You raised me up. That is, to the first heaven. Sir, this responsibility was lifted from my back, he says.

So this time he takes this place as if, that is, he tasted death in the world, and in the hereafter he does not take into account what he says. Well, since Allah Almighty here questions Jesus, is there questioning and judgment right now? Has the Supreme Court been set up right now? No. Huh. On what basis do you say Jesus died? Sir, when the whole earth becomes another place, the heaven another place, when the world is brought out completely flat, He says, (?) no. That is, people will go to the gathering, and in the gathering the account is settled, in the Supreme Court. When did you set that up, that you say here that Jesus died?

And headless (?). Look, we are still living. The world has not yet ended, the Last Day has not come.

Sir: As long as I was among them, I was watching over them; when You took me in death, then You alone were the watcher over them; You see everything fully. Look how nicely he says now: when You took me in death — Jesus will come with the Mahdi, will rule forty years, right? So the Prophet stayed still, and the Prophet too will die a second time. Again He will remain alive. Allah is the Living, He says, right? He says: I had no judgment left there. Only You remained. Only You became the watcher. You see everything fully, he says. He speaks the truth. Sir, since he is still alive, he still watches them.

Jesus. Because he is alive. If You punish them, they are surely Your servants. Look how nice. I have no judgment over them before You, he says. Whatever I say, You know better than me. If You forgive them, You are surely the Mighty, the Wise, he says. "You are the Possessor," he will say, it says. Look, "he will say". So it has not happened yet. They are pitiful people. Yes. Where did this go? Yes.

This got mixed up. How will we find this place?

This came, but where do we press to enlarge it? It wasn't here. There were questions here. Shall I close this? No, Hodja. Let's take this like this. It went somewhere.

This one?

This one. To the world.

Okay.

Now let's take this like this.

Let's see what else there is here.

He mentions that it was concentrated in our Muslim lands. Hodja, you explained this topic before with verses. Isn't it wrong and a sin for this person to tell it this way and spread it to people? A sin beyond measure. Hodja, may Allah be pleased with you, I kiss your blessed hands, he says. In verses 65-66 of Surah Al-Anfal, Allah Almighty lowers the numbers. So there is nothing abnormal in His lowering the prayer times in the same way, he says. What does this mean? 65 and 66. Look at Surah Al-Anfal, 65-66. What number has He lowered here?

In the verses too Allah Almighty lowers the numbers. The number of what does He lower? You should have written this part properly. Of the Muslims against the unbelievers... Give it to me, let me see. Give it to me. Which verse is it? 65-66. Which page? 184. Huh? 184. In 184, which verse? Al-Anfal sixty-five. Sixty-five. Page one hundred eighty-four. One hundred seventy-five.

One hundred eighty-five. One hundred eighty-three. One hundred eighty-five. One hundred eighty-four. One hundred eighty-five.

Sixty.

The sixty-fifth (?). O Prophet! Urge the believers to fight. Tell me. The number of what did He lower? He doesn't explain. If there are twenty patient ones among you, they are enough for two hundred. That is, tenfold. Tell me the number of this. Tenfold. They prevail. If there are a hundred of you, they prevail over a thousand of those who disbelieve. If there are a hundred, they prevail over a thousand of those who disbelieve. Because they are a people who do not understand, it says. Yes.

Here, who says there is nothing abnormal in this?

Hüseyin Ulutaş. You always write incompletely. Look. Either write it correctly. Either write it correctly, or do not occupy this place. So there is nothing abnormal in His lowering the prayer times in the same way, he says. Surah Al-Anfal 65 and 66 does not say that. And in 66 it says, sir: if you are 200 — if you are 100, they will prevail over 200, it says. In 65 it is one to ten, in 66 one to two. Now look, listen. What does it say here, look, listen well to this part. In verses 65 and 66 Allah Almighty lowers the numbers. Of course He will lower them. So there is nothing abnormal in His lowering the prayer times in the same way, he says. What do these have to do with lowering the prayer times?

So here he has a shortcoming of his own. That is, he says what he himself knows as he knows it and finishes the matter. Son, you will explain correctly, correctly. Look, you are eating up our time here. If we come only to this, verses 65-66: at that time people were in ignorance. The Prophet too, with his verses that would light the way before people, with their minds — one person has a strength against 200 people. Not that, in strength, this person holds two hundred people, or that he throws that one person away. With his mind he is able to prevail as equal to two hundred people. After that, when they too became a bit more enlightened in this way, this time the number goes down.

Finally the number goes down to one to three. Why doesn't it come to one to one? Because the mind of the non-Muslim and Islam's own mind are not the same. Islam's mind is broader. Today all the inventions in the world are made by the minds of Muslim people. America's top people are all from our Turks; we have acquaintances, computer software developers.

Our people could not do the software for tracking someone from Israel, could not make it track; they were buying software from there. We called a young man from America; he came, joined ASELSAN, made the gun track, but they did not give the young man much money, and they put him in a hard spot; again in America, in China, in the highest position, he works there. Isn't it a pity? These are our nation's children. If I gave them the money, three or five pennies, what would happen? The young man is hungry here, he has debts, he cannot manage; he had to go there.

I have a student in Spain. He has become the head of a company. The head.

There all the software goes through him. The man, that company, is now dependent on him. It cannot let him go. Because all the operations are in his hands. And they make software. Software. They make software for other companies. They give him people to work alongside. So that he teaches them and they get free of him. He came and asked me: what shall we do? Keep the secret to yourself. Like the case of the coffee maker, I said.

He still works at the same place. Yes.

A guest says: Peace be upon you, Hodja. A few months ago I asked you about a hadith that the Prophet (peace be upon him) told Ali a secret, but that Ali, unable to carry this secret, shouted it into a well, that water overflowed from the well he shouted into, that its overflowing water passed on (?), that from those reeds the ney was made, and that this is why the ney is a secret. You, you said: Ali is not given a burden he cannot carry. You said: there is no soul in the ney, there is no such secret. But what came to my mind is that Khidr said to Moses: it will be heavy for you. And although he said that, he explained to Moses the secret of the events they lived through.

I wonder, can you explain? May Allah be pleased with you, Hodja, he says. Son, this secret, this secret goes to the secret of the secret. To the secret of the secret. It is not possible for us to open it. We cannot open it. It is between them. For example, what does this resemble? Khidr (peace be upon him) killing the child, holing the ship. The Prophet Moses beside him knows nothing of it. I learned. Yet when Khidr does this, Allah Almighty tells him why he does it. That is the knowledge from Allah's presence (ladunni).

He told some secrets to Ali. For Ali too there is such a hadith. We too told that hadith and based it on these, but those go to the secret of the secret. When you enter there, you cannot get anything from me. Talk about it as much as you like then. "The Hodja did not know this, so he did not say it." Say it as much as you like.

This is probably finished. It ended there. The time is ten past eight. Stay well. Be entrusted to Allah. Lillâhi te'âlâ el-Fâtiha.
