Talk of 27 December 2025

Come on.

Here there aren't many questions. There is a dream. We don't answer dreams. Why don't we answer dreams? If we set out to tell dreams here, I always say this, if we interpret dreams, everyone from 7 to 70 will pile up here. This place becomes a dream market. This place of ours is not for marketing dreams, for telling dreams. Here you will ask me about the verses. I will tell you the right and wrong interpretations of the verses. This is the greatest knowledge. It is a treasure. The translations of the Quran that have been put out are actually based on Zionism, a book written that way. Writings were written that do not fit the true Quran, the essence of the Quran.

What is written is not the essence of the Quran. The reason: read the whole Quran from beginning to end. In the Quran, not even a speck of blame for committing a crime is put on anyone. All the crimes are attributed to Allah.

From (?) they put Gabriel in place of Allah and described Gabriel as Allah. In this situation the Quran, from its essence, the Quran has been separated, today's people have tagged along after the (?), they made the essence of the Quran be taken lightly, by Zionism's calculation, and today's nakedness and the outbreak among the youth have come out. And we want people to (?) with the word of Allah, to turn to their Creator with respect and love, with manners and propriety, people created honourable above the worlds, to live with a sense of humanity. This is what we want. To live with honour, joy and dignity, with renown.

To live with the honour of humanity. In this situation people have left humanity. In appearance, in form human, but in character, as Allah Almighty says, they roam the earth like four-legged animals; they have fallen into that state. Many are like that.

Allah Almighty, who created man honourable — the women entrusted to man, who are the crown on his head, they have sent out stark naked. In this situation love of Allah, love of the Prophet and the requirements of the religion have disappeared. Today most of the swindlers — you look, he has swindled a company, men set up a company, swindled so-and-so. Well, women are swindling them too. Stripping naked, women have become the real source of the swindlers. They undress; they have no married life. "Let me marry and have a child, a home, a husband." "Let me serve the religion of Islam." "Let me raise good children for my country and nation." That is gone.

Nobody thinks of these. Very few people. What happens? The woman strips stark naked. She marries one of them. Then if he suits her, fine; if he doesn't, well, that's it. After that, a phone in her hands all day, on the internet, so-called social media, that what kind of socialist, social media; together with them, come on, the man leaves his family; the woman leaves her family, her child. And the man promises her some things. She runs off to rob the man. She sees it didn't work. Then, since the laws are in her favour, she gets the man removed from the house. Or she takes over his house. Or she takes over his car.

Well, isn't this a swindle too? Huh.

Today non-Muslims don't have this.

While these things need to be prevented, personal if we spend our time here on dream interpretation, it would be a waste. I don't interpret dreams. And so as not to interpret, I don't understand or know dreams. Don't tell me dreams. Our time is very precious.

Everyone should first live their life, first their humanity, a person's good relations with his neighbour, as it should be, that unless another Muslim is safe from a Muslim's tongue, waist and hand, his faith is not perfected; living Islam, in this world, a temporary guesthouse, eating the provisions Allah Almighty gave, thanking Allah, we must go to the hereafter upon Islam, yet no one thinks of these. They eat and drink and know nothing of thanks. "What is thanks?"

Let's go even further. They say: what is Allah? They say this too. They say there is no Allah. If there is no Allah, where did you come from?

Turn to yourself. Don't look anywhere else. Your eyes are a camera, taking in and giving back instantly.

Your ears are a radio set. They hear what they want.

Your lungs are a laboratory. By today's science, a factory as big as a town, if you set one up, does the work that lung does.

Every part of you is created with knowledge; did this come about by itself? Those who say this in this way, under the guise of enlightenment living on it without knowing what enlightenment is, unaware of knowledge, stark naked, (?) stars, in those days, living unaware of the works of the Truth, people — do they know anything about enlightenment? These are people swimming in darkness.

Enlightenment is a person knowing what he himself is. Knowing where he comes from and where he will go. And serving his Owner. His Owner doesn't say: work and give it to Me. He only says: remember Me five times a day, perform your prayer. Our Owner is Allah. We came to the world to prove what kind of person we are. In this situation we leave these and turn to our personal affairs. There is no personal affair. For example, aren't the verses personal? You're telling what I don't know. Just as I tell you what you don't know, perhaps millions of people don't know it either. I'm telling them too.

By asking the question you don't know, you also serve people. So if you want to serve, if you want to draw near to Allah, read the Quran. Ask about the places you can't understand. And we'll open them up and explain them to you. Not what was opened according to Zionism. Let us tell you the truth according to the essence of the Quran.

Yes.

Are you going to ask? How many? Yours? Let me see. Where are two questions coming from? There aren't two questions here. (?) you said go with this, it went. These are (?).

Member guest. Here someone asks a question. "Peace be upon you, Hodja. Our Lord made a covenant with our souls and all the worlds He programs." Correct. He says it correctly. "Within these worlds, the jinn have every kind of will." Who? They have every kind of will? Every kind of will. Every kind of will. It says every kind of will. Where does it say? It says every kind of will. come closer come closer — free will "The jinn too, like me, free will, free will have; for their wills, does He make a covenant with them too? For their wills, does He make a covenant with them too?" Well, this question you asked, today everyone more or less knows it.

Everyone, whoever you ask. Knows what? The jinn have higher and lower ones, don't they? That is, there are unbelievers and there are Muslims. So these too made a covenant. Allah Almighty knows what these are too. In fact the Prophet, in Mecca the Honoured, there is a place where the jinn came, the place. I forgot the companion's name. "Don't go beyond this point," he says. He starts reciting the Quran to the jinn. "We saw someone reciting the Quran," they say. "Our elder," they say, "the accursed one," that's what they say, "we didn't know he was lying," they say. "He deceived us," they say. "Allah exists," they say.

Some of the jinn are Muslims. There are also unbelievers.

That's why he asks: for their wills, does He make a covenant with them too? If He didn't make a covenant, how would we know about his will, that a jinni is Muslim, or that the higher one or the lower one is an unbeliever?

Now, the Muslims made a covenant with Allah Almighty. There is also will.

Among us there are those who know Allah and those who don't. What happened? Those who know are Muslims, those who don't are unbelievers. Allah says it, He says unbeliever. But they, He says, "you were divided into three classes." Three classes. You named two classes. Well, within the first class, the saints, the prophets, the martyrs, the (?) group. They too knew Allah. They are in the first class too; that, within itself, into two is divided. Whoever says the testimony of faith is a Muslim. The jinn are the same. They have Muslims, they have unbelievers. In that case, when their unbelievers catch a person, they drag him all the way to death.

Yes.

What else? Let's look here, does anyone else have a question?

"Surah Al-A'raf, verse 11 says: We created, then We gave form. Does our Lord's word point to souls being created first and then bodies?" Now I will ask you a question here. You, if you don't exist, if you don't exist, can you create anything?

Can a person who doesn't exist create anything? Now assume I don't exist; while non-existent, to a non-existent person, if you give an attribute and say he created this, could you find anything there? Now, "We created first," He says, "then We gave form." This creation is creating the body, creating the body. In Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 14: "We created you in a second form," He says. First the first form: Allah Almighty created by separating a particle from His spirit. Then He gave it a form. Or in a second creation He gave a form. In fact He created a copy of the original. You write something somewhere, or draw a picture somewhere, and when you copy it on a computer onto another sheet of paper, the same thing, let them copy it, right.

Man too: Allah created us from His essence, with a particle of His spirit. Then, "I created you in a second form," He says. Look, Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 14 — what page is the verse on? Now look, let me see, Al-Mu'minun. It should be around here, Surah (?), Surah Ta-Ha, Al-Anbiya, Al-Mu'minun 14. Let's look at the verse now, look. Ma'am, look, then what does it say? "Then the drop, the clinging thing, the fertilized egg We made. Then We turned the clinging thing into a piece of flesh. We turned this piece of flesh into bones, a skeleton." Isn't He giving it form now? He gives it form. "And We covered these bones with flesh.

Then We made him a human with another creation," He says. What did He do? First He created, then He shaped. Yes.

yes, exactly as you said; look what it says: first souls, then bodies being created, it points to that, he says; he's right, indeed there too it explains that; well known (?) what else let's see if anyone has a question; ask whatever you want from the verses Yes "I understood, Hodja," they say, may Allah be pleased. Do you have a question? Ask. Which one? Four hundred thirty-two. Three hundred sixty-five. Four hundred twenty-five. Twenty-seven, twenty-nine, thirty-one, thirty-two, yes. Forty-one. Saba, Surah Saba, verse 41. Look how nice. Why do I say to you, ask me from the Quran, from the verses? At least in your homes the covered, dusty Quran gets its dust wiped off; that's why.

And also when you read it,

you'll be at peace in your conscience, peace will come to your heart, and you'll trust Allah. And one who trusts Allah knows that Allah is behind him. Accordingly a person grows stronger spiritually too. Who reads the Quran like this? Everyone is in a panic. What does Allah Almighty say about those who deny anyway? "Their hearts are restless and scattered," He says. In the verse. Their hearts are restless and scattered because they turned their backs on the Quran and sulked. Muslims — which Muslim today opens the Quran and reads it? Reading the Quran isn't only reading its Arabic. Blessed ones, at least read its translation, even if it has superstitions, read it, come and ask, then read.

While reading, if you take this as your motto, if you take it as your motto, you'll pick out the wrong places very well yourselves. No one can attribute qualities to Allah Almighty, no one can attribute a crime to Him. Good: the good of the person who does it is recorded; an atom's weight of evil whoever will (?) it, his evil is written, and without wronging anyone, Allah — in the hereafter people are held to account for what they did. In this case, attributing the crime a person committed to Allah: "Allah sealed so-and-so's sealed it. Allah is the one who seals, but how did He seal it? Because the person against Allah, got his heart sealed. "Allah led man astray." Allah does not lead man astray; it doesn't befit Allah's majesty.

They went astray. Allah shows the truth, shows what is right, tells the truth, but they turn their backs on that truth and right and go astray; He leaves them in their straying. Why? Because we came here to prove what kind of person we are; whoever wants to draw near to Allah, He doesn't interfere; nor with those who stray from Allah, because everyone will prove himself in this world. Otherwise, today, the way everyone prays, I'm ashamed to pray like that: "O Allah, destroy those people, O Allah, take me there, for me open the gates of paradise," as I'd say, this is inside mercy. He doesn't say: O Allah, to reach Your mercy give me strength. O Allah, give me strength on Your path.

O Allah, give me strength to win Your pleasure. From yourself (?). From yourself. You won't expect anything from Allah. Allah will pour it down. You will take it.

Otherwise Allah won't give you mercy while you've gone astray.

Most prayers today are wrong too. Always "O Allah, take me there, O Allah, do this for me, O Allah, do that." Why doesn't He do it? Is Allah a tyrant? To this world we came to prove what kind of person we ourselves are. That's why they turned the verses into Zionism, and people know it that way, talk that way. Asking from Allah is something else: "O Allah, I have fallen into such a thing. Have mercy on me." Look, have mercy. "Grant me to pay this debt of mine." And look how nice. You're asking Him for strength. And Allah gives it to you. He brings people before you.

Otherwise: "Pay my debt, sir." Or "do this, do that." Oh how nice. Why did He send us to the world then? He'd finish our work there, in the hereafter. "Hodja, is there a verse for what you said?" Open Surah Ta-Ha, verse 134. Open Surah Al-Qasas, verse 47.

If you can understand, of course.

Yes.

Let's see if there are other questions.

"Can you explain Surah Al-Hajj, verse 54? I kiss your (?)," it says. Good evening. Taha, guest. "Surah Al-Hajj, verse 54."

(?) Which verse did he say? Verse 54. We've come to 78, look, all wrongly opened verses; look now, from top to bottom the verses are wrong. Let me open here like this; how many verses are here, look, here, wrong verses, look at the page. Here, now you, if you do this as they said, will you have lived Islam? Well, deeds depend on intention; that is what saves us, but whoever writes it this way doesn't escape the burden. Whoever says Allah said so when Allah didn't say it, let him prepare his place in the torment, says Allah, the torment.

"And so that those who were given knowledge know that it, the Quran, is truly a truth that came from your Lord, and believe in it." This verse — hearts at peace and content — "surely Allah guides those who believe definitely to a straight path," it says.

Now here it says, it says, in the end Allah guides people to the straight path, it says. That's what I said earlier: then Allah is the friend of people. If He guides to the straight path, why will He throw the unbelievers into hell? They're human too. Allah created them too.

There is a distinction here. If you don't know the One who created you, Allah doesn't lead people to the straight path.

Guides, it says; He doesn't guide. Here at the very end, those who believe in Allah definitely to a straight path are turned. Al-Baqarah 257: Allah is the friend of those who believe; He takes them out of the darkness into the light. Look how nice. And Satan, the taghut, it says, is the friend of those who deny; he takes them from the light into darkness, it says. Now here, a single word is attributed to Allah. The blame is always Allah's. "You didn't lead me; You created me but You didn't lead me. You left me in the darkness." You say it yourself. That's what he says. Allah says it like that. "I created you in darkness," He says.

You say it yourself: "Why didn't You guide me?" Allah created you in darkness, but before you He sent prophets, scholars, books.

He lit up your way. And against this question of yours, Allah Almighty says this: We do not hold anyone to account for a thing We have not made known, He says. For a thing We have not made known. So, if He lights your way by sending prophets, books, scholars, and you turn your back on this, is it you who turns that light into darkness? Or Allah? Though He lit up your way, you don't do what Allah says. "You created me. You'll give me my food too. You'll provide every pleasure of mine too. You'll put me in paradise in the hereafter too." Well, is there such a thing? What?

The world of testing, a test. This is the world, the world of testing. When Allah Almighty created us, which of us is (?), which of us denies and is an unbeliever, He knows very well. That's why when I told you to go to Surah Ta-Ha, there it says this: "Had We destroyed them with a punishment before the Quran," that is, before sending man to the world, He says. That is, We know you. You're for paradise, and you're for hell. Because in Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172, we made a covenant. Ve iz ehaze rabbüke min benî Âdeme min zuhûrihim ve eşhedehüm alâ enfüsihim, elestü bi rabbiküm, kâlû belâ With those who would come forth from the offspring of Adam We made a covenant; We said, your Lord, He says.

Who was there? If you said yes, my Lord, Muslim; whoever there, by his own mind, (?) he denied. He is a polytheist or an unbeliever. He denied. We were separated there already.

In this case, in the verse, me, sir, He definitely guides to a straight path. Definitely. They always pin it on Allah. Here everyone will earn by his own will. Allah Almighty created man honourable above the worlds. Do you know the reason for creating him that honourable? He gave a particle of His essence, a spirit. This spirit exists in no being other than man. In this case, why did He take man as a friend? Why did He give man so much honour? If you seek glory and honour, it is with Allah. He addressed man with glory and honour. Do you know the reason, children? Who will tell? Why did He give man so much honour?

Just think for once. A being who will create all these worlds, all (?) this world, the moon, the stars, turn them all around Himself, create what He wants, bring into being from nothing, would He go and (?), even if He had created the most beautiful being, with it become friends? He created it.

Today, who does a human make friends with? With a human. Is there anyone who goes and makes friends with a donkey? Manço's saying, "the donkey is my friend," you know. And what does Allah Almighty say about them? I don't mean only him. He says it as a song. Maybe he says it meaning others. For example, there are those who befriend dogs. Those who sleep and rise with them. Those who don't have children and treat them as children. Does this befit Allah? Allah, so honourable, who brings into being from nothing. He'll create a human close to His essence, talk with him, take him as a friend. That's where man's great honour comes from.

You, such a friend, a human created so honourable, with such a friend, the Creator with great power — beside Allah, as one with a great (?), as one with a rank, can you betray Allah? Can you turn your back on Allah?

Yes. And then, if He created you like this, He created you so that His essence would be known. Today, simplest of all, a father's child, if the child said to his father: you're not my father.

Even if proven, even if the genes were proven, the genes proven, even if he were that father's child, when that child says, you're not my father, think of that father's state. I mean, not out of his compassion. That feeling of his against this — Allah gave us a particle of His spirit too. When one says, You're not my Lord, Allah Almighty doesn't stoop to his level. "If you deny Me like this, I'll give you this place," He says. The fire. "But if you know Me — I have no need of you," He says. "I'll provide you a life of pleasure in paradise. I'll give you whatever you want," He says. Then why did You create? "I created you to be intimate with you, I created you to see My essence in My essence." Man is this valuable; man so valuable, this man whom his Lord values so much, if he turns his back on Allah, what state does he come to? He falls into the state I described earlier.

Anyone else with a question? Tell me. Tell me. 400 424 38, yes. Page 32, like this. 432. 41?

"And the angels: You are exalted, our friend is not they but You, rather they worshipped the jinn, most of them believed in them, they will say," it says. The angels. The angels say these. Let's see: that day Allah will gather them all. Then He'll say to the angels: were these the ones who worshipped you? Look. Of course. There are those who worship angels too. Now what do the angels say to this? People leave Allah and worship angels. Some say Allah took children from the angels, sons, daughters. Allah Almighty says to them, "Daughters are yours," He says. "Sons are yours and daughters Mine?" He says.

"What an unjust division this is," He says.

Yes.

And what do the angels say? To those who worship angels: "You are exalted," they say. They exalt Allah. "Our friend is not they but You." Our friend. Because Allah Almighty programmed them. Exactly. You know artificial intelligence, or robots, robots with AI — they make them do traffic. They make them do policing now, inside them. They make them do every kind of work. And since Allah Almighty has the art of creating — ours, creating, they can't give life. They make them from iron. Or from wood, whatever. But Allah Almighty makes them of flesh and bone without creating (?), He gives it life. But a robot.

Well, even if it were of flesh and bone, of human (?), how is it that flesh and bone, well, how is it that it doesn't become like us? Your brain is a hard disk. Into that brain, that hard disk, whatever it commands, it put that. It has no will of its own. You have will. It has no spirit. Spiritless. At command. How do you train an animal and it follows you? Exactly like that. But mutual conversation. Together with the angels. That's why angels are genderless.

But non-Muslims attribute gender to some of them.

Yes.

"We," they say, "they are not our friends," they say. "We believed in You. Our friend is not they but You. Rather they worshipped the jinn. Most of them believed in them," they'll say. True. Now if I were a jinn-hodja here,

Super. A jinn-hodja.

if I rambled to you about jinn, I wouldn't have time to scratch my head here. But when it comes to the truth, for eternal life, for the pleasure of endless life, for its taste, for Allah's mercy, for pleasing Him, none of us in this world easily follows Allah's command.

Man has gone astray in pleasure and amusement.

He has become a slave of the feelings of the nafs.

He has come to worship the world.

Every soul will taste death. The inheritance of the heavens and the earth will remain to Allah.

From the atom to the globe, nothing is ours. Look. Don't we have anything of our own? We do. What is it? Look, I'll show you now. Isn't this tea? Tea.

This was my provision, gentlemen. This was mine. Why, it's not mine either. A trust. But a trust given to me as long as I live. He'll take this from me too. What else is mine? What is it that He gives me? What has He given? What of Allah Almighty's is mine? What you wear and wear out, what you eat and drink is yours. Because in this life, in this body, you will prove what kind of person you are. "I gave you these as provision," He says. Eat. Anything else? Nothing else is yours. You'll leave it all and go. What you eat, drink, consume and wear out is for you to prove what kind of person you are.

So, with the reality there, dealing with the shadow, why? With the tree itself there, dealing with the tree's shadow, why?

We're just not using our minds. Allah Almighty too says in a verse: do you never use your reason?

One who deals with the shadow is nothing. And one who deals with nothing is a nothing, he says.

Yes.

So if this place is a shadow and likeness of the hereafter, this shadow you can't carry on your back. With death, the shadow vanishes too. With what you did, your deeds, the weight you carry on your shoulders, you go there.

Either a load of good deeds or a load of sins. Allah protect us. Yes.

yes "36, Surah Ya-Sin, 58, can you explain the verse?" Did you write these? I kiss your blessed (?). "To them, the greetings said by their Merciful Lord." 36, Ya-Sin, page four hundred forty. Four hundred thirty-two. Ya-Sin thirty-six

the thirty-sixth verse 36 Yes. That divine Being is free of deficiencies, He is free of all deficiencies, who of what the earth grows, and of people's own selves, and of things they do not know, many pairs, created them all, it says.

We don't know what Allah Almighty created in this universe. We cannot know. Why can't we know? One narration says He created 17,000 worlds. Another narration says He created 18,000 worlds. Which one shall I know?

And He created for people whatever they need, for the nourishment of their bodies, and when the time comes people ask: He created us, but immortality, would He create that too? When they say so, He created immortality too. Of immortality, one part in America, one part in the West, one part in the East; find it in between. You know, factories, a thing, to sell, make a gift, a fridge; they say: in this gum there are numbers, from one to five; if you complete the numbers, this fridge you'll get; bring me that number. Everyone buys from it; one comes out, two comes out, four comes out, five comes out, three doesn't; the place he puts three — for example, on the other side he puts one, two, three; on this side you can't find it.

That is, wherever it's missing, he shows it there. For example, on this side he doesn't put one, two, three; four and five he puts. And on that side he puts one, two, three, doesn't put four. Go on, find it now. Where will you get what? Inside that gum. Did we tour Turkey to find that number? Immortality is like this too. Luqman the Physician finds immortality. Because he travels the whole world. After that, since Allah removed immortality, while crossing a bridge, He gives the order to Gabriel the Trustworthy. When he strikes his hand, what he wrote goes into the water.

Allah created everything useful to man, all beings. And since man was created very honourable, He also put some sixty taste organs on the tongue. Fish have taste too. Different kinds of fish, different kinds of vegetables, different kinds of fruit, different kinds of meat. Eat, He says. Taste, eat. But know Me, He says.

In verse 36. What does it say now? That divine Being, self-subsisting by His essence, free of deficiencies, who of what the earth grows, every kind of vegetable, fruit; among these, the ones we know: onion, garlic, lettuce, curly lettuce, as I'd say, cabbages, celery, carrots — whatever you want is there. And many vegetables that don't come to mind. "And of their own selves and of things they do not know, many pairs, He created them all," it says. Many pairs. By pairs it means, for that vegetable to reproduce, He creates female and male seeds, seeds. Inside that seed, that vegetable's or that fruit's own kernel is written.

Inside an apple seed — when you plant that seed it becomes an apple, a pear it doesn't become. In the same place you plant a pear seed; there it doesn't become an apple, it becomes a pear. Of what the earth grows. Today the chemistry of trees: from the soil, for itself, taking the fruits it can eat and turning them into its own kind.

Allah Almighty here shows that His essence has great knowledge and power, and what He created for you continues by itself; even if you open it, He will create it, He creates it. And those of His creatures who come after will benefit from it, eat it. Today in the forests there are parrots, such big, big things, fruits there are. It takes the fruits, puts them in its mouth, in its crop it eats the outside, the seed it takes out. It takes it to its young, which swallows it, eats its outside, the seed it throws out. Those, that way, become a tree again. By itself. Yes. (?) And in this way, the world too, with the creatures He created, He cleans.

Besides.

By pairs He means animals, female and male, all of them their own generation reproduce. Let's look at verse 58, what it says.

"To them, the greeting said by their Merciful Lord is peace," it says. To whom? Here too it probably means people. Let's see what it says here. "There they have every kind of fruit. All their wishes are fulfilled." And people, of course.

In paradise, Allah Almighty — there is no "selamün aleyküm". "They say: peace," it says. "Selamün aleyküm" means may Allah's mercy be upon you. When they enter paradise they say just "peace". Because Allah's mercy has come upon them. There's no idle talk there, it says. No idle talk. No "aleyküm selam, may Allah's mercy be upon you." There, there is. That is, here (?). In paradise you are safe. Yes.

What does it say there? In verse 58: "There, the greeting said by their Merciful Lord is peace," it says. That is, peace be upon you.

Now if He had said "selamün aleyküm" — they were given Allah's mercy and came. That would be superfluous anyway. What does Allah Almighty, the owner of that place, say? Here you are safe, He says. What, people? Here you are secure. You are safe.

If we read from 55 on, look how nicely it says it already. "That day the people of paradise truly delight among blessings," it says. As I've been saying, how nice: those who are close to Allah, His friends, in paradise for a lifetime, not a lifetime, an endless life, will delight.

"They and their spouses recline on thrones under shades." Thrones. Not thrones like the nice ones here. All kinds of thrones. You know the sultans had thrones. Fancy and glittering, beautiful like this. I mean all covered in diamonds like this. Like that. Great thrones. "There they have every kind of fruit." "All their wishes are fulfilled." Whatever that person wants for himself, Allah Almighty will please him there. He'll give what they want. And they'll be pleased. And they won't be able to look at anything else. Full of (?). That is, it will be so much. Their meanings will be so much. Seven paradises, seven layers, seven states of the self; according to the state of the self, by their nearness to Allah, they'll be distributed in the paradises, within understandings.

Yes. And my Merciful Lord will say only "peace" to them.

Yes. Let's see what else is here. "Hodja, many things have sprung up that steer children and youths from a very young age to gambling over the internet. We witness it a lot around us too. How should we advise them? Can you show us a way?"

However much you show them the way, however much you promise, take them by the arm, even if you bring them to a good position, set up a good monthly salary there, they'll still do it. You can't make them give it up. Only on one condition. You can tell the truth. You know that the Owner of us all is Allah. You can make known that we came to this world for a test. And after that age they don't understand these much. Except those who gave a good covenant. They're the exception. But we'll still do our duty like this. We'll make it known to them. Because you can't change a person's nature. Our duty: Allah Almighty says, We don't hold any generation to account that We haven't informed.

As much as we can, we'll tell them the truth, so that they fear Allah and know that in the end, at the end of (?), they'll go there. That they know what they do is gambling, or a sin. So they give it up. Otherwise, even if you give this person money, even a position, you can't make him give it up. Like whom?

Like what the referees did at (?), they gambled.

They bet the money on the weak team. They made the weak team win. They took the money.

All kinds of gambling have come out. All kinds. May Allah protect us from such bad feelings.

"Hodja, never marrying, or marrying and never having children, are these sins?"

Having children is a matter of consultation between mother and father (?).

There will be consultation. But the Prophet (peace be upon him) says: Marry and multiply. I will take pride in the multitude of my ummah, he says.

Allah Almighty created us in pairs.

What does this mean? A man, a woman. For us to reproduce, so many people are waiting in the Barzakh. We will be the cause of their coming into the world. We'll marry, have children. But we'll marry as far as our strength allows. And to have children, man and woman consulting each other, if they want to have a child and their circumstances allow, they do it. If children will lead you to (?), even "your children," it says, if they ask of you in a way that leads you to poverty, don't give, it says. So Allah Almighty doesn't burden us with hardship. But He certainly wants us to marry and have children.

But He wants it in proportion to our strength. He doesn't load on us a burden beyond our strength. "We burden none of you beyond your strength," He says.

That's why the Prophet too: Marry and multiply, I will take pride in the multitude of my ummah — when he says that, our marrying is a must. The bachelors come and say to the Prophet: the married ones, they say, fine; when desire comes, what shall we do? they say.

To the married he says: you go to your homes. When desire comes. Go to your homes. And to the bachelors he says: you fast.

Fasting breaks desire.

So a person, so as not to fall into sin, can make a few marriages within his means, it says in the verse.

Today those who stay firm in one marriage — I won't say in the hundreds. In the millions maybe there's one or two.

We've gone outside the verses. If a married man commits adultery with a married woman, it is stoning.

Today married women live with their lovers.

The percentage has risen very high. you can't cope with women today many houses houses of adultery and prostitution they made a (thing) of this, what do they call it, its indicator, on a map of the cities, the most crowded places: Ödemiş, Manisa, İzmir, Istanbul, sir. May Allah grant safety. Whose hand is in whose pocket, whose hat on whose head, nobody knows. Why does this come about? Allah — by now turning our backs on Allah, instead of fearing Allah, by deifying the nafs, the fear of Allah has been suppressed, and one has chased after pleasure and amusement. May Allah reform us. Yes, member guest, you'll tell those children the truth, you'll tell them about Allah, you'll make them give it up; and to you, it says, "though in wine and gambling there are small benefits, the sin is much greater," it says.

Very great. Today wines are made from grapes. Don't they benefit us? They do. But if you make it into wine, what happens? It numbs your brain. Your tongue is tied for the speech you'd make. You can't speak. And because you can't speak, Allah Almighty says, until you know what you say, don't even approach prayer, He says. See, He does not even want to have the drunk one before Him. Because every prayer is in Allah's presence. It is our ascension. As for gambling, some win. And when you win, you didn't earn it. You earned a great sin. Because you took over a person's, his family's livelihood. You usurped your brother's right.

Did you think it was profit?

Yes.

Yes, gentlemen. Our time is up. Let's close our time.

We have no other questions anyway; a thing from here, he'll probably say; yes, gentlemen, he says (?); Facebook, let's see if there is one, let's see. Yes, there is one: "Hodja, a person who travels for more than 15 days, all the four-rakat prayers, should he pray them in full? Or should he shorten the fifteen days and pray the following days in full?"

Let me tell you the rule. You follow the rule accordingly. Now here, like this, at the end, a negative word goes. "Hodja, a person who travels for more than fifteen days, all four-rakat prayers, should he pray them in full?" Up to here it's right. After 15 days he'll pray in full. Up to 15 days he is a traveller where he stays. He'll pray two rakats. "Should he cut the 15 days and pray the following days in full?" How now — the 15 days, how will you cut them? You're a traveller. Allah Almighty, 15 days, where you stay, the full you can't cut. Fifteen days, wherever you are, two rakats He lifts from you.

You can't cut the full, can't do the thing, you can't pray the full.

You went somewhere. You stayed nine days in a city. Or you stayed fourteen days. 14 days you're a traveller there. When you pass 90 kilometres — but look, pay attention. When you pass 90 kilometres, you're a traveller there. On you, two rakats. If you pray four rakats, Allah Almighty: are you more merciful than Me? I gave you two rakats as an ease so you wouldn't suffer, and you don't pardon Me? You don't accept, He says. You must certainly pray it as two rakats. On the fourteenth day you went to another city — a traveller again. There too you're a traveller for fifteen days. There too you stayed fourteen days, went to another city.

Ninety days' — you always exceed ninety kilometres, look, in the cities. Again there, there too you're a traveller for fifteen days.

Whenever you come home, being a traveller ends. And that's not on reaching home; when you come within 90 kilometres, your traveller status ends. Walking, 5 kilometres an hour, you're allowed 18 hours. You'll walk. When you walk 18 hours at 5 kilometres, beyond that you become a traveller. And that corresponds to 19 kilometres, 90 kilometres. Yes. You set off from here to your father's hometown. You're in Istanbul, going to Ankara.

Your father's house is in Ankara. Or your own house. You have the key.

90 kilometres away from Istanbul, you're a traveller. With 90 kilometres left to Ankara, you're still a traveller. Once you're within 90 kilometres of Ankara, being a traveller is lifted from you. Because you have a house there. And you have the key. You'll open the door and go inside. With 90 kilometres left, being a traveller is lifted from you. I have a house in Samsun, I have the key. In Ordu too I have a house. Between Ordu and Samsun is 150 kilometres. Wherever I go, since I don't pass 90 kilometres, between the two cities I always pray four rakats. If I leave Samsun by 90 kilometres, 60 kilometres to Ordu remain.

I'm not a traveller. I have a house there. If I leave Ordu by 150 kilometres, 60 kilometres to Samsun remain. I have a house there. Always four (?). Always four (?). No traveller status.

I think it's understood. Stay well. Be entrusted to Allah. For the sake of Allah Almighty, Al-Fatiha.

Amen.

We are not of His spirit. There's no (?) there. (?) your prayer.

O Allah. O Allah.
