Talk of 19 April 2025

But it's freezing.

What is this?

We're starting from here, right? Yes, sir. Yes.

A guest puts the question like this. Hodja, can we do the remembrance of Allah on our own? I respectfully kiss your hands. Of course you can. Remembrance of Allah on your own. Or are you going to wait for a congregation? The Quran itself is remembrance. Well, reading the Quran is also remembrance. You read it on your own.

The finest state is, when you are alone, to call your Lord to mind and remember Him in your heart. How beautiful.

The guest asks again, Al-Baqarah 36. In the verse He says: for you there is settling on earth as enemies to one another and, until a set time, enjoyment. What is meant by the enmity here? May Allah be pleased with you. Allah Almighty: there is not a single creature until the Day of Judgement whose deeds We do not know, according to His verse.

Because He knows people's enmity towards one another, He says this verse in this way. What else? In Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172, with people, when He made the covenant, those who denied His Being, those devoted to His Being, those who obeyed, of course when they came to earth would fight one another, and they are still fighting.

Those who supposedly follow religions other than Islam, within their own beliefs, some worship idols, some worship the sun and the moon, some go off chasing jinn. In this case these people wage war against those who tell the truth.

Either they attack people with the desires of the nafs, or states, sir, wage war on states. Today the children of Israel, a cursed people, the Israelis, within their own beliefs, within their false beliefs, wage war on Islam and, sparing neither women nor children, commit genocide, a cursed people. Is it only for that? Claiming to carry out Allah's command, for a span of land, to gain a place there, they are wretched people who count human lives as nothing.

In this case, if this is not being enemies to one another on earth, what is it? Allah Almighty informs us of these situations in advance.

Most of the enmity here is wretched people who, within false beliefs, oppose the truth and want to cast falsehood over the truth, and fight for this with their wealth, their property and their lives. But in the verse Allah Almighty says: the truth has come and falsehood has vanished. However hard they try, let them not forget this verse of Allah Almighty: they want to extinguish Allah's light with their mouths, (?). Allah will keep His light shining until the Day of Judgement.

Peace be upon you, Hodja. In prayer, at the beginning of the surahs we recite after Al-Fatiha, should we say the Basmala? May Allah be pleased with you. I kiss your blessed hands.

If you ask me, you need to say the Basmala.

Why "if you ask me"? Because the Basmala (?). Some say the Basmala is a repetition. But in my view the Basmala is not a repetition, it is a verse.

Is the whole Quran verses?

If we remove the Basmalas at the start of the surahs, we've removed them. But in one surah the Basmala occurs. In which surah? No, not in Surah At-Tawbah. In another surah, the Basmala. In Surah An-Naml. The Basmala occurs there. Within the verses it occurs as "Bismillahirrahmanirrahim". So then, the verses, the Basmala, even if not at the start of the surah, in a verse, since it is all Basmala, since the noble Basmala occurs within a verse, the Basmala is a verse. As long as it is at the start of the surah, it must be said. But they say it is a repetition, and there are those who don't say it.

So what if we don't say it? That I cannot know, but I say it. Reset 18, Hodja, in a hadith it is said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: whoever sincerely asks Allah for martyrdom, even if he dies in his bed, Allah will raise him to the rank of the martyrs. Can this be true? This cannot be true.

Say I said: let Allah be my witness. Let me do whatever I like in the world. Ah, let me die like this in my bed. Let Allah raise me to the rank of the martyrs. Is the blood of so many martyrs, sir, worth so little? Are the lives of the martyrs worth so little? These are, to keep you away from worship, the words of Zionism. They will even tell you this: read this verse so many times, look, within an hour or two this will happen to you, they say. You wait and wait, nothing happens, and you say: I got no benefit from the verses either. This is Zionism deceiving people. You must know this: no one can know that when he reads such a verse this will happen, because that means putting your finger on fate.

And since you cannot know what will happen a moment later in your fate, whatever you read, if it is not within your fate, you will not find the return of what you read. Well then, was my reading in vain? No, it is not in vain. Since your reading is outside your fate, Allah Almighty writes it for you as reward and brings it before you in the hereafter. Yes. Peace be upon you, sir. According to a hadith in Bukhari, everything a man spends on his wife is charity, it says. (?) Could you enlighten us about this, it says. Could you enlighten us? Now, whether Bukhari, or Muslim, or Dawud, the Jew, using their names, to corrupt your religion, says things like this.

Is the man free? Allah created man free. Is the woman also free? He created woman free as well.

But what is charity? Charity is, for people who cannot sustain their lives within this free life and are in need of others, an amount you give for the sake of Allah. Food, food, drink. This is charity. Your wife is your honour. You cannot give charity to your honour.

You can only protect her. In our religion, that you will provide the woman's clothing, her drink, that you will stand by her in illness, that you can meet, that you will meet her needs when she needs something, you swear this upon the marriage.

And the woman, for the man, in plenty and in want, in illness, in any situation, that she will stand by him and look after him, it declares.

These superstitions, which non-Muslims have falsely brought into the religion to corrupt it, have taken the people who do not live our religion and are leading them along behind them. Those who harbour Satan, who outdo Satan, so that even Satan runs from them, and who in this way lead people after them, two-legged taghuts, when they lead people after them, have given Satan a rest and served Satan. In this situation, too, people who keep uncovering themselves more and more, who go about naked, who go about naked, who count this as something of value, and who in their own way take pride and, in that pride, without knowing that the poor soul is being worn out like a rag here and there, drag themselves to ruin.

Both in this world and in the hereafter. Yes. There is no such thing. Our women are the crown on our heads. They guard our honour, sir. They prepare our food and drink. And they look after our home and our children. How can you call this charity? Yes. May Allah set these people right.

Peace be upon you, sir. Just as we trim and shorten our beards and moustaches, when hair grows like this between our two eyebrows too, so the eyebrows look like a single brow, as if joined, and it looks bad, just as we do with the beard and moustache, may we cut, cut the hair that later grows in the middle, cut it or shorten it? Now you are asking this question against the following. The Prophet says: do not trim your eyebrows. Do not shorten your eyebrows, he says. What is the eyebrow? Saying the eyebrow is pieces of hair above our eyes, we need to know what kind of hair it is.

It keeps away some substances that would get into your eye, and draws some substances to itself.

Allah did not put them there for nothing. Your eyelashes do the same job. They catch or keep away the germs that would get into your eyes.

If there is a germ that gets through them and could get into your eye, the tears dissolve it away. How beautifully Allah created. Each has a task. Now in this case, the eyebrows are not to be shortened, but if hairs have grown between your two eyebrows, if it doesn't bother you, doesn't get into your eye, that's even better, it stops the germs coming to your eyes. The nose hairs are the same. Moustaches are the same. Why do women not have them and men do? Because the man works outside. He is exposed to all kinds of germs. That is the beauty of Islam: this person working outside, his hair, his beard, his moustache, his eyebrows and eyelashes catch the germs flying in the air where he works, and when prayer time comes, by washing his hands and face with the ablution and cleaning them, he is purified of germs and lives as a healthy person.

One of the beautiful sides of Islam is this taking of ablution. Yes, I'll be beautiful, but who will call me beautiful? But if I am healthy, I will be of use both to myself and to those around me. So if you have eyebrows like that, if they have filled that place in too, honestly, how nice a person looks. It's not necessary for the eyebrow to go off to the sides between the two (?).

For example, your moustache has joined from both sides and covered your nostrils, or it helps against what would get in there. It helps. It catches them, the germs. Moreover, the hairs inside your nose catch those that escape the moustache. See how beautiful the ablution is. The Muslim, by putting water into his nose, cleans out the germs from there too.

The guest says: the other day, while it was going through my mind, I got stuck on this. Have I understood correctly, could you explain? In Surah Al-A'raf 172, when people answered Allah's word with yes, I had understood it as their only knowing with their reason that they were created by a Lord. But then, if to the word of Allah Almighty they say yes, we bear witness, this means we accepted Allah, that they were convinced that Allah is the Lord. Then everyone here, sooner or later, with their reason, after some time grasped that Allah is the Lord; some denied, some accepted. And so they grasped what they knew, that is, that Allah created them, but because of their nafs they denied, and since they denied what they knew to be true, they became lying disbelievers.

In addition, if after this they wait for the Lord of their imagination, this is not because they could not grasp Allah, but because their nafs could not accept it; although they knew inwardly with their reason, having rightly grasped that Allah is the Lord, they still, in this matter, waited for the Lord their nafs desired. That is why they lost. So in the end they remained as people who know Allah but deny Him by lying, just like people in this world who, because their nafs cannot accept it, deny with their mouths what they know to be true. Have I understood correctly? Could you explain, she says. You have already explained it. Because he saw Allah Almighty in human form, he knows that he was created.

But because he saw Him in human form, he denies Him. He waits for the Lord of his own imagination. Now if a person in front of you said to you: I created you, of course you would not easily believe him. This is the very matter that was settled in the world of Lahut. There they were divided into three groups, when He said: I am your Lord. Either (?), the people of the left, or the class of those brought near. As you said, people know that they were created. But because they saw their Lord as a human in front of them, following the desires of their nafs, they deny their Lord. They wait for the Lord of their own imagination.

So Allah Almighty answers them with this verse: Will you not use your reason? Will you not examine? That is, you billions of people are gathered here. And before you are two: one who creates, and one, Allah, who uses the one He created as a messenger.

One says: I created you. The other says: yes, this is the one who created us. In the world of Lahut. In this case, those people there who used their reason said: yes, we were created; if someone else had created us, he would have come forward long ago and destroyed him too. Since no such one has come forward, you created us, they said, and obeyed. Those who obeyed, in Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172, said there too: You are my Lord. The others, the people of the left: Ve ashâbü'l-meş'emeti mâ ashâbü'l-meş'eme, He said. The people of the left, again in Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172, denied. You are not, they said. And because they knowingly denied their Creator, they fell into the state of lying disbelievers.

That's enough. Now there is a question here. Who's going to ask? Come here.

Which one should I skip? Higher up, sir.

Higher up from this. Higher up from here too?

Here, Hodja.

"Hodja," she says. I respectfully kiss your hands. In addition to the question above, I had a question. In the circle of knowledge they don't let us read the Quran while menstruating. They only make us memorise prayers and the explanation of prayers. Like the prayer for completing the Quran, the prayer after the call to prayer, the prayers of salah. Could you enlighten us on this, Hodja? If I made a fault or mistake in the question, forgive me. May Allah be pleased with you.

In the circle of knowledge they don't let us read the Quran while menstruating. It's not allowed. A menstruating woman can listen. But say there are fifty people there, sixty people, three people, five people. One of them is reading the Quran. She reads. But a menstruating person cannot read the Quran. She cannot touch the Quran. She cannot pray. That's all. She can cook. She cannot have relations with her husband until she is clean. She cannot read the Quran; she listens to the Quran, she can listen. If one person there is menstruating, and there are so many people there who are not, who are clean, because of that one person "the Quran is not to be read": when they say that, this is a game of Zionism, of the Jew, played on you.

What else does it say here? They make us memorise prayers and the explanation of prayers, it says. They can make you memorise them. The prayer for completing the Quran, the prayer after the call to prayer, the prayers of salah, could you enlighten us on this? Now, the call to prayer has a prayer, for the Prophet, to Allah Almighty: You do not break Your promise, grant the Prophet the Praised Station You promised. That is its prayer, when the call to prayer is recited. Sir, and the prayer of salah: after finishing the prayer, it says, lay your situation before Allah for a while. If you have a need, you put it before your Lord as you wish.

But a menstruating woman cannot pray. Until she is clean. A menstruating woman's normal cleansing period is four days. Its average lasts a week. And at most it goes on up to ten days. If it goes past ten days, the woman is not menstruating. She has an illness. She must cleanse herself and pray. If the bleeding continues, she must also take ablution for every prayer. And she must go to a doctor and be examined. Yes. What else? That's all. Now if anyone has a question, let them ask.

Surah Yunus 18. Page 200. Let's look at 209. What's this 209? Yes. 202. 7. Surah Yunus, which verse? Eighteen. They, it says, leaving Allah aside, worship things that will give them neither harm nor benefit. Who? People. They worship idols. They give them neither harm nor benefit. Abraham (peace be upon him) also says this to the idol worshippers. Do they bring you any benefit, he says. Can they even speak with you, he says. Yes. And they say: these are our intercessors with Allah. With Allah. Look. And to Allah, they too are Allah's servants. He both worships it as Allah and as an intercessor with Allah.

They contradict themselves. He both worships it and says this idol will intercede with Allah, that is, for them; that is, their owner is Allah too, we know, but we worship not Allah but this, he says. For example, the Christians say God is three, but they worship Jesus as the son of God. Like this: say, are you informing Allah of something He does not know in the heavens and on earth? That is, for them He says: am I unaware of what they will say? Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, He says, We are aware of it. He is far above and exalted beyond what they associate with Him, He says. That is, Allah speaks of His Being.

He is free from what they associate, and He is most exalted. What they associate, what they associate with Me, it is I who created them, says Allah Almighty. And look, at the Great (?) He will call what they worshipped and make them speak: they are trees, stones. Did you tell these people "I am god"? Down, we have no knowledge of this, they will say. We have no knowledge of what they did, they will say. Because they are unaware of themselves. They will vanish, it says. Then these, because they denied the Owner of the worlds, in the eternal home of Hell, of which He says it is an evil place of return, will be eternal seekers of this bed of Hell.

Yes.

Page 73. Al Imran 185. Al Imran 185, Al-An'am, surah, 185, right? Yes. 141, 167, 185. Every living soul shall taste death. True, all souls will taste death, your return is to Me. Allah Almighty: every living soul shall taste death, and only on the Day of Judgement will you be paid in full for what you did. We, why did we come here? We came to prove what kind of person we are. Every living soul, it says, what does it say? Only on the Day of Judgement will the return for what you did be handed over. Fe men ya'mel miskâle zerretin hayran yerah: I will write down your good, even an atom's weight, He says. Ve men ya'mel miskâle zerretin şerran yerah: I will also write down your evil, even an atom's weight, and after you have made yourself witness against yourself, those around you and Me, you will come before Me and be called to account, and I will show what kind of person I sent you to the world as, that I sent you to prove it.

Here, it says, you will give your account.

Yes.

Whoever is kept away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has truly attained salvation. Whoever said "my Lord is Allah" and (?), prayed, fasted, gave zakat, had money and went on Hajj, and in that way went to the hereafter with faith, he has attained salvation, it says. The real salvation is, when we pass from this world, the salvation of reaching Paradise. Not that you went to prison, came out of prison, and ah, you're saved. You committed a crime, paid a bribe, got off. That is not salvation. It is your finding peace for a passing moment. But your conscience gnaws at you if you are guilty. The real salvation, a peaceful salvation, is people who obey Allah in the world and, when they pass to the hereafter with faith, win Paradise, those people.

That is salvation.

Whoever is kept away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has truly attained salvation. And the life of this world is nothing but deceptive enjoyment. If that is not deception, what is it? You work and work, you buy this. You say: it's mine. Then you add gold to it, then you add dollars, then you buy houses, then you buy a yacht, then you buy a mansion.

When the command of the Truth comes, what do you take? You leave it all here. If this is not deception, what is it?

Yes.

175. 175. It is only Satan who frightens his own friends, it says. Yes. Satan's temptation has no hold over My servant who knows Me, says Allah Almighty. So, since Satan's temptation has no hold over people who have friendship with Allah, the friends of Allah are not frightened by the scares he gives. Except the people who live far from Allah. He frightens them. All of them? No. Whom does he frighten? He frightens those who walk in the way of Allah. What does he say? You are bound for Hell, he says. You did this, he says. You did that, he says. He whispers to him. In that whispering the person loses his way.

And falls into Satan's trap. So people who walk in the way of Allah on the straight path must be very careful about Satan's temptation. They must be alone with their own conscience, so as not to accept Satan's temptation. You consumed what is forbidden, cheated someone, and it comes to your heart that you are a sinner. This is from the Merciful. Satan does not give you this. Because you did something Allah does not want. You deceived a servant of Allah. You took his due. These must be told apart well. If you cannot tell them apart, you become Satan's plaything and then you end up his victim. What are you saying, eh?

So if you are people who believe, do not fear them, fear Me, He says. Fear Satan? You will make Satan fear. Allah created Satan too. He fears Allah. You fear Satan, or you fear people, and if you turn against Allah's command, for the benefit of a passing life, perhaps you save your life for a few hours. But if you do not fear Allah and turn your back on Allah, the home of eternal bliss turns into the eternal punishment of Hell. And you remain in punishment for ever. So here, whom will you fear?

Not people, not Satan; you will fear Allah. Allah Almighty also says in His verse: if there is anyone to be feared, the most feared, it is Me. And if there is anyone most to be loved, it is Me too. Yes.

You tell me, Bilal Efendi. Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 40.

This is a verse that has been explained wrongly. Let's read and see. Yes.

O children of Israel!

Remember My favours that I bestowed on you.

Fulfil the promise you gave Me, so that I give you what I promised. Look. Is this yours? Fine. In the full sense, its own meaning. Fear Me alone, it says.

Whereas: O children of Israel, remember My favours that I bestowed on you. Be true to My covenant, He says. My covenant. That is, what I commanded you, what I promised, hold to faithfully. And here, what does it say now? Fulfil the promise you gave Me, it says. They gave a promise and did not keep it. And because they did not keep the promise they gave Allah, as above, these played with Allah on their fingers.

Whereas: O children of Israel, remember My favours that I bestowed on you, be true to My covenant, that is, listen to My commands, so that I give you what I promised, He says. If Allah promised, what does He do? He does give, but sometimes in your wealth and sometimes in your lives a test is given. But if there is anyone to be feared, it is Me, He says; fear Me. Yes. What did I want to ask here? I explained it.

Does anyone else have a question? Who's going to ask?

Ask.

Surah (?), first verse. Which page? Surah Al-Hijr 261, 261. Let's see, let's see. Yes. Which verse? The first verse. Alif Lam Mim Ra. These are the disjointed-letter verses. No one can give them a meaning. In the seventh verse of Surah Al Imran He says only those with a sickness in their hearts try to give them a meaning. Yes. These are the verses of the Book and of a clear Quran. They are the clear verses of the Quran. The meaning of the clear verses belongs to Allah. But Allah Almighty, even if they are secrets, wrote them here, but its meaning cannot be understood. Clear verses. All of them are Allah's verses.

I did not hide the secrets from you either, He says. I wrote them here. But My word lies in the letters. You cannot know what meaning it has, what code this is, which (?) you have solved. Its code (?). (?) quite clear; come on, come on, find the place, let's see what it says. Those who deny will at times wish that they too had been Muslims. Is that what you're asking? What I was asked, I explained, I think. There is one more word. Every book a (?), look: these are the verses of the Book and of a clear Quran. The Book, isn't it this Book? In the Quran Allah's word, written in the Book: these are the clear verses of the Quran. In this Book are written the clear verses of the Quran; that is this Book.

This Book is the people of the Book. The meaning of "people of the Book": the book sent by Allah, for example Moses, the Torah, the Psalms, the Gospel, the people of the Book. That is, the most worthy of books, the finest, the truest, words that confirm one another, is that Book, the words of Allah, it says. And He says: its master is Me. I am the master of the books. Because you cannot find deceit in it. You cannot find a lie, when He says "people of the Book". But in the books we write there may be words that don't agree with one another. Because our reason is limited. However truly we write, within that truth, by a higher meaning it turns out lacking. But in this Book that Allah wrote, up to a higher meaning, a higher meaning still truer, the next truer, the next truer.

It opens on and on upwards like an ocean.

Yes. People of the Book. The Quran. The four books, the Quran. Yes. Anything else?

Page 561.

Let's see.

We've come to page 561.

Surah Al-Mulk, verse 8. Hell almost bursts with rage, it says, because they attributed lies to Allah. Every time a group is thrown into it, its keepers ask them: did no warner come to you warning you of this punishment? Had one not come, they ask, it says. That is, when they are about to be thrown into Hell, when they are thrown, it will ask that community. Who is this angel? Who is the keeper of Hell? Malik. Malik. He will ask them: why have you come here? Did no prophet come to you? Allah in Himself, you denied Allah. If you had not, you would not be here. Did no one come to warn you? he asks them. And what do they say in the next verse?

They answer like this: Yes, indeed, a prophet came to us warning us of this punishment. But we called him a liar and said Allah has sent nothing down. You are only in great error, we said.

Now these verses stand for many verses. These verses. Allah Almighty, in this case it means these knew Allah; here they seem to be in a state of regret. Yet Allah Almighty, according to the verse "if only they knew Me here", even in Hell these would say this to Allah Almighty, (?) a Lord will come to save them, because he will take revenge on Allah.

They say this to Malik: Tell your Lord; you can't say "our Lord". Tell your Lord to lighten the punishment on us a little. And Malik will say: you will stay like this for ever. Allah Almighty in His verse: there they neither live nor (?). Since there is no more death, can there be life in fire? So they neither live nor die. In punishment. What did I want to ask here?

Well, although they tell the truth like this, why do they stay there for ever? No. Their tongues say it, their hearts do not. Because their fates are written. A person cannot step outside his fate. Everyone speaks within his own fate. No being can change its fate. But if there is anyone who would change it, it is Me, He says. And a word has come from Me: Paradise and Hell, He says.

That is, a person cannot change even his own fate. Because that fate is his life, meaning, living, feeling, love, or the feeling of doing with relish the work he will do. He even committed theft with relish. (?) he also does with relish. The Hodja reads the Quran with relish too. Everyone does his work according to his own relish. Yes.

I'll ask what I said. Ask. What will they become?

They will remain as logs of fire, it says. They will be wiped out like (?). That is, their names and fame will end. They, one another, just as they have now come to recognise, tailed, fire logs, they will remain, it states. Yes. Is there no way out of Hell? No, there is no way out of Hell. Look what it says: after burning there for many thousands of years, they would remain as logs of fire. What is a log? It neither feels nor hears. A log of fire. It stays there like that for ever. There is no death either. Didn't I already say? They too neither live nor die. That is eternal Hell, it says. Eternal, there is no more. Eternal Paradise, it says.

Eternally of Paradise. Yes. Like this.

Four hundred eighty-two. Four hundred six, eight. 424. 443. 48. You always tell me verses that have been explained wrongly. From now on I won't look at your questions. Always the wrongly explained ones; they are in the Quran too, you marked them in green. When you go, work your head. How many times have I told you? Look, study it a bit yourself. Explained wrongly, explained rightly. I don't understand the right one either, she says. I don't understand the wrong one either, she says. If you understand neither the wrong one nor the right one, why should I explain to you again and again? Use your own mind a bit here.

Now I'm going to ask you this here. What do you understand from this? I'm going to ask you. I'm going to ask you. Look, what does it say here? Whomever We give long life, We reverse his development. Do they not think at all, it says. This is a verse that has been explained wrongly.

Whoever is in a long life, We reverse his development. Do they not think at all?

Where is the mistake in this? How is it right?

Who will say it? Say it. Allah gives some a long life and not to others (?), so that in His covenant and His decree, what they will do, enough to be able to do it; did you see, would you not say: Allah, I gave him a long life, and I (?), I would also have entered a long life; would you not say to Allah? No one will question; everyone, by the deeds he himself did, will be called to account. Look what we say here: whoever is in a long life, that is, in the work he will do in the world, it depends on the number of breaths; however many breaths the work takes, according to his character his life is that long; and his life too, in the task he will do, since he will prove himself within that task for that long, it too becomes that short a life.

(?) think a little. Look, what a fine child still. How well she thought. She knows.

No one can ascribe attributes to Allah. Everyone is within the deeds he himself will do. However many breaths he will do this in, We set it up that way. He gives him a life of that many breaths. And He knows how much time that number of breaths will be. In how much time will you do this? What will you do? And in a verse He tells you: your life stays neither an hour ahead nor an hour behind, He says.

Allah rules over everything.

Any other questions? Has it come? Go on, tell me. Where is this? At the very bottom?

Is this it? (?) Peace be upon you, Hodja. For the cure of my incurable illness, is asking the saints for spiritual help for the cure of my illness shirk? Some hodjas say this is shirk. I am very confused, Hodja, she says. They are right. Allah is the owner of everything; we will ask Allah. If there is no cure, a person who has caught cancer says: please make a prayer for me at the Friday prayer.

He tells the Hodja. And the Hodja says in the sermon: someone put a question to me. And to you, he says, tell what he said, he says. For him, he says, he is asking for a prayer here, for his illness to get better, to be freed from his illness, he says.

The Hodja prays for the sick person to Allah Almighty by His name and attribute Ash-Shafi, the Healer. And the congregation says amen. And then you see the man recovers. But you are asking from Allah.

He has that span of life, and with such a question it is proof that Allah Almighty is always with people. But if he has no more life, that prayer still counts as reward for that person. The mosque there also gains reward. And in the hereafter, in return for the prayer made, the reward is given to him as rank.

Yes. Fate does not change. Life span does not change either. But praying to saints, here or there, sir, for his illness, that is shirk. Because our owner is Allah. We ask from Allah.

Neither Ahmet nor Mehmet can be of any use to you.

For example, we visit some saints, don't we?

We visit them because they are friends of Allah. We visit them because they loved Allah Almighty. And because they are the beloved of Allah Almighty, they lie on earth as sultans. Many sultans of the world came and went. None of them kept their glory and fame. But the friends of Allah, the saints, in those shrines on earth still continue their reign on earth. These are friends of Allah. You read the Quran for them, complete a reading of the Quran, give it to their souls, to their souls. Not to ask them for help.

That's the explanation.

Any other questions? No. It's time for prayer. With your leave. Stay well, may Allah keep you. For the sake of Allah Almighty, Al-Fatiha. Amen.
