Talk of 19 July 2025

"Peace be upon you, sir," he says. "If Allah Almighty had willed, as with Surah Al-A'raf, verse 179, with a small difference in meaning there, one being wrong and the other being right, rather than giving the meaning like that, He could have sent it definitively, closed to debate, leaving no direct escape route. What is the wisdom in this?" he asks. I didn't understand anything from this. Did you understand it?

Wait a moment. If anyone understands, let them tell me a little. My understanding has run a bit short. "If Allah Almighty had willed, Surah Al-A'raf, verse 179, as with the verse. With a small difference in meaning there." Now let's say it up to here. Let's say what we understood up to here. "If Allah Almighty had willed, Surah Al-A'raf, verse 179." The verse: Ve lekad zere'nâ li cehenneme kesîran mine'l-cinni ve'l-ins. In that verse. Yes. He says "a small difference in meaning there", but it is not a small difference here. This attributes a quality to Allah Almighty. It attributes injustice to Him.

That is, it makes Him discriminate between His servants. It accuses Him of creating people for Hell, of being a wrongdoer. There is no small difference there. Directly, Allah would have created people for Hell, that is, some of the people He created — what is those people's sin? There is no small difference here. "If He had willed", Al-A'raf, the verse... "with a small difference in meaning there, one being wrong and the other right". So the wrong one is: "By oath, We created many of mankind for Hell," it says. And the right one is: "By oath, Hell was created for many of mankind and the jinn." Now in one, Allah Almighty arbitrarily created people for Hell among those He created.

This meaning is there. In the other, the Judge of judges sends people, for their deeds, for the crimes they are guilty of, to prison with justice, by right — that is there. There is an enormous difference here. In one, Allah Almighty creates people to suffer torment for His own pleasure, creates them for Hell. In the other, a person, by the deeds he did within his own will, sends himself to prison. There is no small difference here. Now if there is no small difference, let's look at this. Maybe he wants to say another meaning. Let's look at that now as well.

"With a small difference in meaning there, one being wrong and the other right, rather than giving the meaning like that," he says. That is, rather than giving this meaning here, "definitively, closed to debate, leaving no direct escape route" — leaving no escape route? There is no direct escape route here; the verse's meaning is its meaning. "He could have sent it leaving no escape route. What is the wisdom in this?" The wisdom in this is that people interpret the verses according to their own heads. If you are looking for wisdom in Allah's verse, you will look for its wisdom in Allah's justice.

Not by distorting the verses; in verses interpreted by distortion you cannot look for wisdom. You cannot put man's word next to Allah's word, reconcile the two and then look for wisdom there. You will look for the wisdom in the verse Allah sent us. So with their mistakes they accuse Allah Almighty and put the blame on Allah. But Allah Almighty is the Owner of justice and, wronging no one at all, He made His verse known to people, and although He Himself said that the door of repentance is open and His mercy is abundant, and that He waits to be asked, you cannot look for wisdom in an "escape difference" between that and man's own reason. You will look for wisdom in Allah's verse.

Yes.

"Closed, leaving a direct escape route", you want.

Is Allah Almighty saying something closed here, about a direct escape route? "By oath, We created Hell for many of mankind and the jinn." What is closed about this here? It is explicit, clear. Allah Almighty has two paths. One is the path to Paradise, one is the path to Hell. One is obedience to Allah, one is disobedience to Allah. Between these two you cannot find a third right path, a way out. There is no third way out.

Allah Almighty always speaks His word according to people's path to salvation. According to the path to salvation. And if you oppose your Creator, His command, then, just as a state catches you and punishes you for breaking its laws, Allah Almighty too, when people in the world complete their lifetimes and His decree comes, will catch us there. With that, in so many verses, saying "leaving no escape route" — anyway, second, when we interpret it correctly it leaves no escape route. What does the wrong one say about Allah? "We created many of mankind and the jinn for Hell," it says. Good heavens. Can there be such a God?

Whereas Hell was created for many of mankind and the jinn. There is no need to look for an escape route or anything here. "Leaving no direct escape route," he says. He says all of it like that. Now, like a primary school pupil, if he is going to explain it, he must explain its meaning. He must explain the meaning here. So that the escape route is not removed. If he tries to open the meaning here as if doing tafsir, the Quran's own original verses disappear. Go on.

How many? Yes.

It says it to us like this. "We do not refrain from making a comparison with a mosquito," He says. What does this mean? "We send Our verses so that even the people whose minds work least can understand them, and We send Our verses so that those at the highest level can understand them too," He says. There is no difference between them. He will understand it too. A person will not be able to say, "Actually you explained this meaning to him, it was this, it was that, but you did not explain it to me like that." Allah Almighty has expressed the Quran in such a word: "We do not refrain from making a comparison with a mosquito and with what is greater." That is, with a wider explanation of the same verse He explains it to the one who uses his mind little.

The same verses. Yes.

"Is there such a thing as one's fortune being bound?"

"Prophet Solomon did not become a disbeliever by doing magic," it says. People do magic to separate husband and wife, it says. In this way some people smear the verses with filth, and those who do magic are people of Hell, it says. That is, they are in the Fire, it says. And in this way these sorcerers do certain things. But Allah Almighty says in His verse as follows.

"Unless We will it," He says — that is, if it is not in his destiny, it will not befall that person anyway. Magic does not affect Our servant who knows Us. Now you can do as much magic on me as you like. You cannot make it affect me. Because those spells are undone by the verses of Allah. But because those people do not have that faith, he says there is magic. Then he does the thing. Then he is carried away by the temptation of Satan. And with being carried away, he ties every matter, every matter, to magic. Without realising that he is within his own destiny, he says, "Sir, my fortune has been bound." Perhaps there was no magic in his destiny, but, but magic exists.

Because "Prophet Solomon did not become a disbeliever by doing magic," it says.

Harut and Marut, two angels, did not teach these without first saying, "Do not become disbelievers," that is, do not become sinners. They did not teach magic. Separating husband and wife, binding fortunes, such things.

"They recite prayers for binding fortunes. What is the place of this in our religion?" Its place in our religion: those who deal with these things are disbelievers. So that Allah prepares his place in the Fire — I am not the one saying it. Its place in our religion is the Fire. "Allah has no before and no after." True. He is the Owner of the outward and the inward worlds. "We cannot understand this in the world." Why can't you understand it? Allah Almighty was neither created, nor born, nor brought into being by anyone else. He exists by Himself, subsisting by His own essence. In Arabic, "subsisting by His own essence". That is, not created by anyone. Yes. "Or our mind cannot perceive this." It cannot anyway; if we could perceive everything, we too would become a god (?), Allah protect us. Yes. "Will Allah give us abilities in the Hereafter so that we can perceive this?" As much as you knew Allah, He will give you ability; from your state here to that state, with contentment — that is, whatever you want, He will be content with your state there.

Surely Allah Almighty is not going to give us knowledge equal to His own essence. If it were like that, you would be a creator too. Then every creator would start fighting from himself. That knowledge belongs to Allah alone. But if you are asking about our states there, let me tell you from the verse. "We will remove the rancour from your hearts," He says. What does this mean? In the world we were enemies of one another. "You killed my mother, you killed my father," or "You did me harm." He will make us forget these things. The rancour in our hearts will be removed. He will do a new loading in us there.

Loading. Memory in the brain. "There you will be brothers," He says. When the rancour and secrets of the hearts are gone, there we will all be brothers together. Sir, "we cannot understand this in the world, or the limit of our mind does not perceive it. Will Allah give us abilities in the Hereafter so that we can perceive this?" He will not. We will only be servants to Him. Otherwise what ability would He give you there?

That is the place of the adventure of eternal life. Just as you do here, whatever you want, there Allah Almighty will give you your wishes according to your degree of faith in Allah. You will live in an immortal life, in peace. An immortal life. Because there is no death upon souls. If there were death upon souls, Allah Almighty would be mortal too. In this case Allah is without beginning and without end, everlasting. And you are everlasting together with Him. Because He gave us a particle of His spirit. For this reason Paradise and Hell are eternal.

That is, if you go a bit deeper, a lot more comes out underneath. One who understands will understand. This much is enough for you.

What does this one say? "The limit of our mind cannot perceive this. Will Allah give us abilities in the Hereafter so that we can perceive this? When Allah made the covenant with us, because He resembled us, to those who did not accept, has Allah manifested states that would convince His servants that He is the Creator?" Yes, He did. He manifested. He manifested to His essence in a way we could understand. Look now, what does it say here? Let's read it again. "Will Allah give us abilities in the Hereafter so that we can perceive this?" he says. Not this part. "When Allah made the covenant with us, because He resembled us." Right? Man resembles Him exactly.

"To those who did not accept, has Allah brought about states that would convince His servants that He is the Creator?" He did. How did He do it? In Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 14, He put us into an outward body. He sent us to a world where His essence is not seen. In Surah Ta-Ha, verse 134, He says that you say this. What is it? "If We had destroyed them," that is the disbelievers, "with a punishment" — that is, if We had destroyed them with a punishment before the Quran, without sending them to the world: "We made a covenant with you. You did not recognise Me. Those who recognised Me to Paradise, those who did not recognise Me straight to Hell" — "if We had thrown them into Hell, you would have said," He says, "if You had sent us prophets and books, we would not have fallen into this disgrace below." So you see, since you would not be able to question Allah, Allah sent us prophets and books.

He clothed us in an outward body, in the world. Now we do not see Him. Now know Allah Almighty. Know that He is the One who creates. Know that He is the Owner of the universe. That's right. Now we have not seen Him. Yes. We also know that we were created. Nothing happens for no reason. So there is someone who has put us into a state. Man is wrapped in knowledge. This universe was created with knowledge. Look, you are in the midst of science and technology. This universe, the stars of the sky, the earth and the moon and the sun revolving around each other, bringing about the years, the seasons, the months, and these were created with knowledge.

The earth, standing in space, while turning around its own axis, without fail, sir, travels forty thousand kilometres a day. It turns around its own axis. And because these are somewhat elliptical, the South Pole and the North Pole turn six months to summer, six months to winter. And the seasons come about. Allah, who created all of this with knowledge, informs us that His essence, sir, is the Owner of infinite knowledge.

"Yes, if He did, can you tell what happened in this manifestation?" "I couldn't come to you," he says. In this manifestation we came to the world. We only say that Allah exists. There is someone who created us. This universe has an owner. If there had been another creator in this universe, Allah Almighty tells us in His verse as follows. "Each would take what he created, and the world would be drowned in corruption," He says. He speaks the truth. Therefore this universe has an absolute owner, a Creator. And that is Allah.

Yes. A guest.

Again a guest is asking. "Peace be upon you, sir. The martyrdom of Hussein that took place among Muslims, and between Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, and our mother Aisha, starting from the first battles, how should we understand, how should we read the civil wars in the Islamic lands, sir?"

This question you are asking — I am a grandson of Hussein, a grandson of Ali, descended from the lineage of the Prophet, a sayyid. Their affairs do not concern me, they do not concern me; we will understand it like this: in Islam there is unity and togetherness; we will understand it like this, sir. One — the Prophet's noble Companions: "whichever of my Companions you follow, you will find the truth," he said, praising his Companions — a prophet's, sir; and "my so-and-so's blood is on the ground, sir," pursuing a blood feud, sir, and splitting Islam — the Messenger of Allah abolished the blood feud; "the first," he says, "my uncle's (?)," he says, the thing, "is under my feet," he says; he abolished the blood feud. Dividing Islam against itself, saying, sir, "he is Alevi, he is Sunni, he is Shafi'i, whatever," and setting them against each other is breaking the chain of Islam. These are not good things. Whoever owns it, I will take it. Because I come from their lineage.

The family tree is here — open it and read where I come from. There is a family tree. Yes.

He says, "Hodja, Al-An'am 128." Let's see what it says in Al-An'am 128. Al-An'am, Surah, verse 128. A wrongly interpreted verse. "Allah, on the day He gathers them all together" — where is this, when the Last Day comes, in the world of the Hereafter, people will come out again from the ground like plants, like grass, "when you come to My presence with a driver," He says; we will be gathered at the Great Gathering. Yes. "On the day He gathers them: O company of jinn, of devils" — I am reading the thing here, I am reading the wrongly interpreted one here — "you have dealt much with mankind, He will say.

And their friends from among mankind will say: O our Lord, we benefited from one another. We have reached the end of the term You gave us, they will say. And Allah will say: Except what Allah wills, the place where you will remain is surely the eternal Fire. Surely your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing." Now here they have attributed a quality to Allah Almighty. You did not understand where it is. Look now, what does it say? "We have reached the end of the term You gave us, they will say. And Allah will say: Except what Allah wills." Now here, when it says "except what Allah wills", it means that among the sinners too there are those whom Allah loves.

These are excepted. What Allah wills. Or there are those who will enter Paradise. Allah Almighty does not like them. They too are excepted, to Hell. Here Allah does not have a ruling over people even as much as an invisible particle, like a particle flying in the air. Over people. Know it like this. Because in Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172, when we made the covenant, Allah Almighty wrote our wishes and deeds as destiny for us. And He sent us to the world so that we would bear witness to what kind of person we are. A verse for you: "Did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you are?" it says. Now according to this verse, Allah Almighty — when we set out to prove what kind of person we are, where is Allah's willing over us?

If He had willed it, with His quality over us — and He is the Owner of power and might — He would direct us wherever He wants. Then why does He say, "if you die without proving what kind of person you are, your qualities"? So they have always attributed qualities to Allah. In this case they have made the Religious Affairs Directorate accept the basis of Zionism. The basis of Zionism. Actually there is no one who knows the verses. All of them, hit and miss, Allah... they interpret verses; as if in the Quran the Last Day has already come, the reckoning has been done, they have gone to Hell, and in Hell He makes people speak: "they will say this," it says, "they will say this"; "they said this," it says, "they said this" — we are still in the world, we have not yet gone to the Hereafter, nor have we gone to Hell, sir; where did they say this? "They will say" — use the words properly; "they said" is one thing, "they will say" is another.

They interpreted it falsely and wrongly; they made it all up. Yes, now I am correcting these.

Yes. If you have other questions you can ask. Any other question? None here. Do you have a question? Ask. Okay. Is there one here? Is there writing here? The guest's question. Wait a moment. "If Allah Almighty had willed, ... verse 13 (?). The verse. Sir, will a body of light be given in Paradise? Have I understood correctly?" he asks. Emin, guest. Not of light. Light is the angels. Spirit. "They ask you about the spirit. Say: It is a command of my Lord." What is it like? I cannot know. But there we are in spirit and exactly like this, in human form, in human shape. Exactly this form. You see, whatever our spirit is, Allah Almighty... our body, three quarters of our body is water.

Three quarters, is that right? Three quarters water. Water takes the shape and colour of the vessel it is in. The body too has taken on the shape of our spirit. Spirit is separate, light is separate. Angels were created from light, humans from spirit. Do not confuse light with spirit. But what the spirit is like, Allah knows best. Because "there is little knowledge about it," He says. Why should I tell you knowledge that does not exist? Yes. Now here, what the guest said: "Hodja, there is fortune binding" here.

"Will Allah give us abilities in the Hereafter to perceive this?" he says. Is it further up? "Peace be upon you. Hodja, is there such a thing as fortune binding?" There is. Sorcerers do this. Magicians. The last sentence of this. You had understood, but to my mind... "They recite binding prayers. What is the place of this in our religion?" We explained this. "Allah has no before and no after. We cannot understand this in the world," he says. You cannot understand it. He has no first and no last. Where the first is, the first is not known. His end is not known. His beginning is not known either.

His end is not known either. Because if His beginning were known, how it came about, you would know how Allah is. As for the end, we have not gone yet, so that we could go to its end. His end is endless too. There is no need for you to understand this anyway. "We cannot understand this in the world, and will Allah give us abilities in the Hereafter so that we can perceive this?" he says. "When Allah made the covenant with us, because He resembled us, to those who did not accept, has Allah manifested states that would convince His servants that He is the Creator?" he says.

Look now. You are right. They come to the same place. Allah Almighty created our souls in the world of Lahut. One must start at the beginning, in the world of Lahut. He created our souls in the world of Lahut. There, exactly in human shape. The Messenger of Allah was also beside Him. And when He said, "I am your Lord," the Prophet too, saying to people, "Yes, this is our Lord," was there as a confirmer, that is, trying to make us believe in Him. When a person says something, the one next to him is, you know, his helper. "Yes, this is the owner of this factory. This is the founder of our factory," he says, that is.

He introduces him. The Prophet too introduces Allah Almighty to us. There people, according to their own minds, were free to know Him or not to know Him. Because the will is in man. Will is two: universal will and particular will. The universal will wanted His essence to be known without any programme, without programming the person in any way — whereas He programmed the angels. Angels are living robots. In order to have us programme ourselves by ourselves, to leave all authority and will to us, He gave us a particle of His spirit. With that particle of His spirit, by our own will, we had ourselves programmed by ourselves, and our Lord left us free to know or not to know, whatever we wanted.

He did not interfere with us in any way. But the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the world of Lahut addressed us, saying "This is our Lord", and tried to introduce Him. And Allah Almighty addresses us only this much: "Do you not use your minds at all? Do you not reflect at all?" There are verses. You were created — so who created you? Why does the one who created you not appear before you and say, "I created you"? So many people have been created here, and if the one standing opposite, like a human, our Lord who created so many people, sir — if we had been created by someone else, would we introduce Him?

You see, he does not use his mind.

There you understood the three parts: they, out of obstinacy, because He resembled man, out of their pride and arrogance did not believe in Allah, they became arrogant. Just like the accursed one. The accursed one too did not prostrate to Prophet Adam. "What made you arrogant?" He said. "You created me from fire," he said, "and him from clay." "That rank does not suit you," He said, "go down from there," it says. He cursed him, it says. So out of their pride and arrogance, their egos, they did not believe in Allah, whom they saw as like a human. Whereas Allah held man as addressee of His essence.

He does not talk with that human... He talks only (?). Nothing else in the universe did He leave to its own will so that by its own will it would know Allah Almighty. So in this way people were created honoured above the worlds. That is, that honoured creation is being created in the likeness of Allah Almighty. But let's drop this. Like primary school children, don't burn us at all. That's enough. Yes. Because it keeps going further. Yes.

That is enough for you.

Do you have any other questions? Let's look over there. Any other question? Let's honour this place. I mean, if the guest, the guest did not ask, nobody would ask a question. May Allah be pleased with you.

There are, there are questions. Look, the guest, the guest is asking again. Do you see, again? "Peace be upon you, sir. Surah Al Imran 3, verse 159. 'It is by a mercy from Allah that you were gentle with them. Had you been harsh and hard-hearted, they would surely have scattered from around you.'" True. "'So pardon them. Pray for their forgiveness. Consult them in the matter. And when you have made your decision, rely and trust in Allah. For Allah loves those who rely and trust in Him.' Could you explain the verse, sir? I kiss your blessed hands," he says. Play it (?). Look now. Surah Al Imran, sir, 159.

The verse. Sir, Allah Almighty's

— for us to speak gently to people, not to retaliate against them at once for the mistakes they have made, and to give people a period of time, and within this period of time for the person to come to himself and realise whether he is right or not, so that the bond between you is not broken — this is what it ensures. This verse is very beautiful. All of them are beautiful, but this is what it means. Then look how forgiving Allah Almighty is in this verse: no matter how sinful you are — "even if your sins," He says, "reached the clouds in the sky, when you repent at the door on your back (?), Allah forgives your sins," He says.

He forgives. And there is no god other than Allah, so that you could go to his door. This verse also supports this:

If there were a god other than Allah, he would take what he created, the other would take what he created, and the world would be drowned in corruption.

Since there is no other god besides Allah Almighty, since there is no other door to go to, and since Allah Almighty will not cast out the servants He created, whoever comes to Allah's door and takes refuge finds Allah's door open. Whoever turns his back on Allah and locks the door on himself, he too finds His punishment.

It speaks here of His mercy anyway. Giving the Prophet as an example: "If you had treated them harshly," it says, "today you would not find anyone around you." Yes. "Had you been harsh and hard-hearted, they would surely have scattered from around you," it says. And in man there is the nafs, in people there is a feeling too. If Allah had said to us, "If you do this, I will not forgive you," if He had said, "If you do this, I will throw you into Hell," what would our state be? Because Allah's power — even if mankind and jinn gathered, we could not match it. If such a power had said, because of a mistake you made, "forgive you (?)", then you would have to choose one death over another; in the world you would even lose the right to live.

That is why Allah Almighty speaking in this way — creating us deficient so that we ask Him for forgiveness, understand our mistakes, turn back from our mistakes, take refuge in Allah, know Him as great — because He knew this, that is, because He wanted us to take refuge in Him, He created us deficient. Anyway, why did He create us? He created us so that His essence would be known. And so that we do not become too proud, too arrogant. Let me tell you, sir. Look, we are beings Allah created, sir; if Allah, saying He forgives us whatever we do, had created our minds complete, nobody would take refuge in Allah because of his mistake.

You see, here He wants us to take refuge in Allah. He wants us to know Him as great, to see our mistakes, our helplessness, to break our nafs. Yes. If we live in this way we will not be enemies of one another. We will forgive one another. In our hearts, as servants created by the same Lord, we become brothers to one another, we carry one another on our backs. Now you are walking on a road. There are those struck down on the road. There are those lying down.

There are those going with difficulty. The strong ones carry those who were struck down on their backs.

Some take by the arm those who cannot walk on the road. All together they go in that direction, on the straight path. Well, if those strong ones were struck on the road (?), their strength and power would disappear, and they would enter a second road. For us, a second road other than the straight path. That is why we are brothers.

We are obliged to forgive the mistakes that we all make, by error, or unwillingly, or willingly. We are obliged to forget them. If a person insults a person, don't mind it. Pass on. If he insults you the same way a second time, again don't mind it. Pass on. If he insults a third time, that is the point. Come straight to him and say, "You said this to me once; that is human. It slipped out of your mouth. You said it a second time too. In the moment you were carried away by a feeling and said it. But I see that you are now saying this a third time consciously. Would you tell me what my fault is?" How beautiful.

If we are human, we will do this. You see, this verse turns them into human beings. It wants us to be human. It wants us to forgive one another. It wants us to be very forgiving. It wants us to treat people gently. Yes.

"Sir, Surah Al-An'am, 162. In the verse: 'Say, surely my prayer, my worship, my life and my death are all for Allah, Lord of the worlds.' Could you explain the verse?" he asks. There is nothing to explain in this. It is very clear. Acts of worship are not done for some benefit from Ahmet or Mehmet. Acts of worship are not done to get into Ahmet's or Mehmet's good books for a comfortable life and to profit from him. Acts of worship are not done to become a tick on someone else's back and live off his back like a tick. Bound to Allah from the heart, to your Creator, to your Owner, to Allah, the absolute Owner of the worlds — worshipping from the heart, submitting, being a servant to Allah and of the community of His Beloved — the worship you do, that is, in your death, in your life, in your worship, is for Allah.

Even if I had no one at all in the world: Fe in tevellev fe kul hasbiyallâhu lâ ilâhe illâ hû, aleyhi tevekkeltu ve huve rabbu'l-arşi'l-azîm. "Even if everyone were on one side, even if you were left alone in the world," it says, "Allah, Owner of the heavens and the earth, is enough for me," it says. That is worship, you see. Yes.

"Peace be upon you, sir. Could you explain Surah An-Nahl, verse 93?" he asks. Let's open it. Surah An-Nahl, verse 93. Let's see.

Yes.

What should he remember, which verse, he says; verse 93. A hundred... "Surely We know that they say: Only a human teaches him the Quran. The language of the person they attribute it to is foreign. Whereas this Quran is clear Arabic," it says.

The idol-worshippers are trying to watch the house of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Where does a person who cannot read or write say such beautiful words from? Some say he is a poet, some say he is possessed, some say this, others say someone else teaches him. Now, since others are teaching him, that person who teaches him is outside the Arab people, and comes to him with a foreign language, and not understanding that foreign language, how does he know this knowledge? How does he speak?

What does it say? "We know that they say a human teaches him. The language of the person they attribute it to is foreign," it says. It is not possible for him to learn from that one, it says. So you are watching his house. Nobody goes in or out. Do you not use your mind at all? Now again the verse comes: "Do you not use your minds?" Look how beautifully it says it: "Do you not reflect at all, do you not think?" Here He leads man to think about His essence. That is, now in so vast a universe, in the midst of so much knowledge, in every technology you see that Allah Almighty created with knowledge.

Those further ahead will find other kinds of knowledge.

Then knowledge will come to an end. How will it end? Because the course of the world will slow down; when the North Pole's magnetism disappears, they will no longer be able to achieve the technology they want, today's technology; a return backwards. "So breed horses," Allah Almighty says; weapons will not fire, it says, because when the magnetism at the North Pole is erased, all the compasses (?) will go astray; from where you are you will not be able to hit the place you want, your missiles will not find the point you want.

In this case, by latitude and longitude, sir, by meridians and parallels, they calculate the place where you set foot. The place where you set foot. And accordingly, when you fire the missile from here, it comes and stops at the same place. At the same place. Because it gives it that degree. Within that degree it makes it hit there. Now when these disappear, what will happen? You see, weapons will not fire. This is what it means that weapons will not fire. It is not that they will not fire at all or anything. You will not be able to hit the place you want. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) will come in the guise of the Mahdi.

Prophet Jesus will also come at that time. For forty years they will rule. What else does it say? Here it says a human teaches him. To attribute it to him, his language is actually foreign. "But the Quran is clear Arabic," it says. Whereas the Quran is clear Arabic. That is, "We placed it by way of revelation into the heart of My Prophet, whom I sent as the only one (?)," it says. In Surah An-Nahl, verse 102, it says so too. Look, let's find 102. Where is 102? Is it here? "Say: The Holy Spirit (?) has brought it down from your Lord as truth, so that those who are Muslim and find the right path may be given glad tidings." So do not look on earth for who taught the Prophet, it says.

Allah, the Owner of the worlds, raises him, He teaches him. Look to Him, it says, turn to Him. This is the meaning here. Yes.

Let's see if there are others. Verse.

"Mert, guest," he says.

Sir, that was Taha the guest. Mert the guest is asking. "Hodja, peace be upon you. Can you tell how many rak'ahs the Awwabin prayer is prayed and its virtue? I kiss your blessed hands," he says. The Awwabin prayer is prayed as four rak'ahs after the evening prayer, without speaking at all. Four rak'ahs. Two by two. There are also those who pray six rak'ahs. But the normal is four rak'ahs. Sir, the Prophet (peace be upon him) also kept up the Awwabin prayer. In one narration, the Awwabin prayer is an atonement for past sins. Yes. Just as you repent, you ask Allah for forgiveness for the sins you have committed.

Of course, this Awwabin prayer too is an atonement for past sins, for the forgiveness of your sins. And it is also a prayer that causes one's rank to be raised. Also, since the Last Day will come at the evening prayer, yes, it is a prayer prayed saying, "If the Last Day comes, let me go being in the presence of my Lord." And these are its meanings.

Yes.

Let me look, is there anything else here? Has anything come? Sir? No. Taha the guest, after all, 93. The verse, is that so? Okay, Taha the guest, wait, everyone makes a mistake; why did I make that... there (?). Well done, Taha. It was 93, wasn't it? That too is a wrongly interpreted verse; it was wrongly interpreted: "If Allah had willed, He would have made you all a single community." He speaks the truth. If Allah willed all of us, no one would have the power. To stand against His willing and break His willing. Whatever He willed, He created that. Creating is not hard for Him. If He had willed, He would have created a single community.

He has created it. He has singles (?) made of light. He programmed each of them separately. He left us to our own will and wanted us to know our Lord within our own will. That is why people fell into divisions. Yes.

"But He leads astray whom He wills," it says. Allah protect us. Allah leads no one astray. Yes. As we always say, in this way: "Allah, as He willed, did this. Allah leads you astray. Allah made you superior. He made these superior" — words like these are the word of Zionism itself. Because they always blame Allah. They stand in front of the Wailing Wall. They always blame Allah. "You created me. You did not give to me. Did You send me to the world to love (?) torment?" Like this they constantly blame Allah. That is why here too the blame is constantly on Allah, never on man.

That is why we say that this, which the Religious Affairs Directorate has accepted as the basis of the Quran, is actually the basis of Zionism. It is not the basis of the Quran.

The answer the Religious Affairs Directorate gave me too: because it contradicts the basis of the Quran — because my basis of the Quran contradicts Zionism, because it contradicts the basis of the Quran, it says, we will not give you the translation (?), it says. It is right, it will defend Zionism — defend. Allah will always be blamed, because here... No one can blame Allah. No one can look for fault in Allah. No one can impair Allah's justice. No one has a right or entitlement to this. Yes.

Allah, on the other hand, because He created people with faults, man will ask Allah for his mind, will know Him as great, and Allah will hold him to His bosom. "Whoever comes to Me one step," He says, "I go two steps; whoever comes to Me running," He says, "I embrace him." In this case Allah is closer to man than man's jugular vein. He knows the secrets of our hearts.

Allah did not create us to cast us out. He did not create us to suffer torment. He did not create us to throw us into Hell. He created us so that we would know His essence. In this case He gave us a particle of His spirit.

I will give an example that I always give.

You can't understand, but the one who understands, understands.

If you take a drop from the Atlantic Ocean, from the Indian Ocean, from the Mediterranean, that drop, that drop carries the quality of that sea.

You see, because He gave a particle of His spirit, we carry the qualities of our Lord. You see, breaking (?) those qualities and knowing their Owner, kissing His hand, prostrating there — that is what is in keeping with Allah's purpose in creating man. Shall we go even finer, I mean? Shall we explain these more?

There are many more things you do not know. Enough now, this much of these. It is enough really. These need to be passed over lightly. They should not be opened too much. Because this person cannot understand this — he cannot understand the verse, so how could he understand this? They made people make a covenant with an invisible Allah, you know, in Paradise like a light, like something dim, an invisible Allah they obeyed; like these terrorists, they worshipped the Allah in their imagination. That Allah is not Allah. Allah is the one who adorned the human He created with the forms of His essence.

Even in this word of mine there is a secret, yes, this secret.

Yes.

Yes, that's enough for this evening. Let's see, if there is a question, one step (?); if not, not.

No, nothing else. Yes, stay well, be entrusted to Allah. Billahi teala, al-Fatiha. Amin.
