Talk of 31 January 2026

Go on (?) Yes, Hodja, again I suppose It seems it's time to update (?), yes, let's update Mine has an update. How shall we update? So it's not updating. One if you can speak, speak. Sir, peace be upon you

Hodja, she says, they sell some so-called natural healing stones in local places, writing that they're good for the body in some ways regarding stress and health. They sell them as bracelets, necklaces, prayer beads. I wonder, what is the truth of these? May Allah be pleased with you. Thank you in advance. I have no knowledge on that matter. And I don't say something I don't know. Certainly Allah Almighty has placed some healing things on the earth. But which one is healing? Which one is what? I have no knowledge on that matter. Giving an opinion on any matter I have no knowledge of is not my habit. My field is the Quran's verses.

The religion of Islam.

Bayram Hüya (?) says: Peace be upon you, sir. The verse you opened reminded me of a saying of Yunus Emre. Not even wanting Paradise, wanting my Lord: what is the difference here? Could you explain? May Allah be pleased with you. Now you took a bucket of water and said, I'll drink this. It's not possible for you to drink it. However much we understand, you live it in your own imagination. As much as you understand. One has to live it. And to live it, you'll struggle with your nafs. You'll go to that station step by step. Unless you go step by step, words are worth nothing to you. You only get enthusiasm from the one speaking.

The meaning of this: will you be able to live this? From all your family, your wife and children, from material things, from the world, from your life, would you surrender your body too and lie in prostration to Allah? Will you be able to reach this?

That's why, overstepping the limit (?), those, you can't reach them. But there's no such thing as can't reach. You need to work hard. With the desires of the nafs. You'll give up everything so that you know the Owner of the universe. You'll know that all existence is His. You'll live many verses.

Here, first of all, you'll take this verse as your motto: Every soul shall taste death. The inheritance of the heavens and the earth will remain to Allah. Even if they gave you this world, with death the world isn't yours. When you pass on to the hereafter, you'll also be accountable for its existence. But in the world, will you be able to give up the claim of ego? Satan and your nafs deceive you. But you came to the truth and your hands tremble.

That's why ask at the level you can understand. Ask about verses. Ask about the verses you can't understand. Yes.

They grab it. From the top (?). They like it, you see. What does this mean, they say. For you to understand it, you need to pass through those stages.

Now if someone came to me and said, I have such a treasure. This treasure is open. Take whatever you want. I'd think: I wonder what's in the treasure? I said, there's money, gold, silver, whatever. When I go there, what will I do with these? Because I have no business. Nor do I have a profession to invest in the future. That money is a burden on my back. This is just like that. I told you this. Without living it, without tasting it, what use is it? You get enthusiastic for a moment, it comes and goes. But you'll live in its zeal, in your heart. You'll live it constantly. Yes. That women must go to Friday prayer, that Allah didn't make them half, such rumors are going around. In this case, is there a verse we can show? How should we explain it to people?

Could you explain? May Allah be pleased with you, sir, she says. Women's mosques are their homes. Women are lacking compared to men. Lacking: she asks for a verse, is there one? There is: men are managers and rulers over women, it says. How nice. What does this mean? I created man whole and woman half. This is so as not to disturb the peace in the home, for obedience to each other: the woman's lack compared to the man. Where else is she lacking? The woman stays at home, the man works. The wage he earns spending his life working, he feeds to his wife. Here he has a right over the woman. That's why woman is created lacking and man is created whole.

The verses are explicit.

They must go to Friday prayer, she says.

It is objectionable for a woman to go to Friday prayer. Why objectionable? Because a woman's voice is forbidden to a man. To a man, because from a woman's voice a man sometimes becomes aroused.

While the woman must cover herself, Allah Almighty also tells the woman to be covered.

From the eyes to the chin, from the eyebrows to the chin, up to these wrist bones and on the feet up to the ankle bones, He tells them to dress in a way that doesn't show their contours. Dressing this way is closer to your not being harmed, it is better, He says. And today they've uncovered, stark naked, a man follows her, just like the male dog following the female dog. Then they start quarrelling or they make love, after a while they have to separate, either he kills her or she loses, both get into trouble. Now if they did what Allah said and dressed this way, they would save both their children and their future, they'd save their future, and in the hereafter, being worthy of Allah's command, Paradise they'd win. But when Satan becomes a person's friend, and the nafs his enemy, and the world looks adorned to him, then brace for trouble.

Faith becomes weak too. Because of weak faith in Allah, he follows the desires of the nafs; if he falls into ego with lust, fame, glory, pride and arrogance, then man cannot escape misery. His two feet never get out of one shoe. Look, pay attention to people today.

Is there peace in any of them? You won't find it. Because all of them have set their eyes on the world. They've surely befriended one of the three enemies. Of the three enemies, one is the nafs, one Satan, and one the world. Faith weakened, it ignored the warning of reason, man has shut his ears to the inspiration coming from faith, because it doesn't suit him; he set his eyes on the world, deceived by this rubbish heap, and he's dragged along after it. Well, can you find peace in this? You fall for Ahmet's game, you fall for Fatma's game. You get caught in every kind of game. Because you can't use your reason.

Your enemy, your nafs, shows you everything as very beautiful. And because you're the work of your nafs, the work of the enemy, you follow it. You fall into the pit where the enemy's arrow landed.

Let me see, do you have questions? Nothing came. Not here, the stubborn one (?), we already explained that. The one above? She's referring to Surah Al-Muddaththir, verse 17.

Let's come to verse 574. 559.

Al-Muddaththir, verse 17.

16-17.

Now here, for sinners, some words are said.

They always attributed this to Allah. And since they attributed it to Allah Almighty, people have no guilt at all. The sin, man commits the sin. It's loaded onto Allah. And Allah punishes man for no fault. Now look, what does it say here? Let's read this from a bit earlier.

Now look, what does it say? In the thirteenth verse, in twelve: And on top of that I gave man abundant wealth. What I'm explaining here now, what I explained to you a little earlier, these verses now confirm. Anyway, I don't tell you anything outside the verses. He set his eyes on the world, it says. Look: And on top of that I gave abundant wealth. And I gave sons present at his side, says Allah Almighty. That is, the person wished it; in that "Am I not your Lord" address, all of this is bound to the covenant. Allah Almighty also knows what he'll do. But will is two: universal will and partial will.

Partial will is in a part of His spirit that Allah Almighty gave to man. This will exists. Whatever the person wanted with that will, Allah Almighty gave it to him. And so that he proves in the world what kind of person he is, man plays here as an actor the script that was written. Now Allah Almighty opens up his feelings here. He opens up what he wanted. Look what it says: And I gave him, on top of that, abundant wealth. And I gave sons present at his side. Because he had set his eyes on the world. He wanted to take pride and boast in that wealth. And I spread out the blessings before him, He says.

The more he took, the more I gave, He says. Moreover, he hopes I'll increase my blessings even more, He says. This is my right, he says. I work, he says. Now think of his rebellion against Allah when he suffers a loss. What did I do to deserve this loss, he says. People like this do say this. Then let him never hope, He says. Now here, when He says let him never hope: I know your destiny, you, within your destiny, whatever you wanted, I gave you. In these lives we passed through, too, whatever was wanted, I gave. But if I give outside your destiny, you'll either harm people or harm yourself, or you'll rise to a position you don't deserve and there you'll harm people, He says.

I know what you are, He says, but you are this: there He stamps the seal. Let him never hope, because he is, towards our verses, utterly stubborn, He says. If I had given to you, this time if you rose, you would strike Islam too or crush it, just as Pharaoh crushed the Children of Israel. The unbeliever, the strong one rides on the back of the weak and crushes him. With one kick he strikes, tries to drown the person stuck in the mud. Whereas a Muslim pulls him out of the mud, out of the swamp, and carries him on his back.

I will make him climb a steep ascent, it says. This is where it's wrong. He will be wrapped in a steep ascent, it says. That is, he'll be exposed to torment, it says. Otherwise Allah wrongs no one. Because Allah wills no injustice to the worlds, it says. This would be injustice. When He says I'll make them stray, it means they'll stray. The person will stray by what he does. Here you can't ascribe his guilt to Allah. He'll give the punishment for what he did. He himself will get into a tight spot. It's not that Allah will lead him astray. Allah will give his punishment according to what he did.

Yes. Then what does it say?

For he thought, pondered, measured and weighed. (?) the words, Islam. He has the right to speak, you see. Look what it says now. May he perish! What a way he measured, it says. This doesn't befit Allah, this verse. Allah doesn't curse.

This is not "may he perish". Only people say that. Allah doesn't say it. Allah knows when he will die. And here there are verses explained very wrongly. We say this is a verse written according to an ideology.

The text of the Quran is fixed, no one can change it. But there are places explained very wrongly. People always wrote it according to ideology, according to their own interests.

This book has to be written only in the hands of conscious people.

This is a book worked on and written over hundreds of years. Its origin is not Allah's word (?). (?) its origin is Allah's word. But they distorted the whole word.

What a "may he perish", it says. This is a curse on a person. Only a human like us says this. You bring Allah into a form, in human shape, it says. Incline Him to human attributes. Then make Him speak like a human. May he perish. Only because it's not in our hands do we say this to people. But Allah is capable of everything. What does this mean? They make Allah curse like this.

Then he looked, it says. Then he frowned and scowled. That is, it reports the person's state here. Normal. These are normal. Then he turned back and was arrogant. Then he said, this is nothing but transmitted magic, it says. That is, he goes to denial. So these themselves will climb (?) a steep rock, it says. What does this steep rock mean? A hard road. Isn't it, a steep rock? It shows us that. So where is the hard road? Hell. People who stray in the middle of the straight road while it's there. Yes. Is there anything else? If there is, let's look.

Page 319. Verse 125 of the surah. Could you open it? Page 319. Let's open it.

In the Quran, more than 510 haphazard, that is, the correct places, we brought out the text. We explained that they were explained wrongly by verses confirming each other. Not just five hundred, there are more than fifteen hundred errors. As you opened here now. We haven't taken (?) these places yet. This Quran must be sat down with and written very well. Now, if Allah grants, inshallah, if my Lord gives me life, I will bring out all the verses of the Quran. All the verses of the Quran. Hodja, if you say there are so many scholars and only you, then why have these scholars until now, despite these errors ascribing guilt to Allah, not raised their voices?

Why, changing these verses, though Allah didn't say it, slandering Allah that He said it so, did they not raise their voices?

Either they're in ignorance, or in an ideology, or in a position, those who sell Allah's verses for material gain, or the conformists who mortgage their minds (?) to others and beat their drum.

Is this the religion of Islam?

Is the religion of Islam as this one tells it?

Yes.

What does it say here? Al-Baqarah, verse 162.

Surah Al-Baqarah.

164, verse 162 of Surah Al-Baqarah, right?

First we opened here. There was one above it. Now we've opened the one in Bayram's (?) place. We've opened the guest's. Let's open this from here. Below our place. They will remain there forever. The torment won't be lightened for them, won't be lightened, nor will they be looked at, it says. What does this mean? Allah Almighty turns His back and describes the state of those who go as non-Muslims, Allah Almighty does. What does it say? They'll remain there forever. What does remaining forever mean? There is no death upon spirits. Spirit, nafs and soul are one. Our bodies are separate. Our bodies were created in a second creation; in this outward realm, to prove what kind of people we are, our Lord created these realms and sent us here. In Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172, when we made a covenant with Allah Almighty, because we did not know or because we knew our Lord, as Muslim and non-Muslim we prove ourselves here through the actual deeds we outwardly do.

This is the key word of the verse, the important point. What does it say now? They will remain there forever. That is, he didn't go in Islam but went as an unbeliever. He went as a non-Muslim. Since there is no death upon spirits, Paradise and Hell are eternal. It says so here anyway. They will remain there forever. Their punishment will not be lightened either. Because a word that comes from Allah Almighty's mouth, no one can break. His speech is not like human speech. Once He says something about something, no one can ever turn it back. Then is Allah so cruel? Allah speaks knowing what's ahead and behind, right and left.

Unlike us, being unfaithful to our word, or for the sake of Ahmet or Mehmet, saying let's forgive this, sir, or let's increase his punishment, He doesn't speak like that. Because all people are servants created by Allah. Allah makes no distinction between His servants, He only judges with justice.

Nor will the torment be lightened for them. Whatever his punishment is, He'll give that punishment. Look, here, when spies or some wealthy people, people with money, go to prison, what do foreign states do? They intervene. Let's do this for him, do that, we'll do this for you, let's drop that. Doesn't it happen? In Izmir they locked up a spy.

Then America got involved (?). They got him out of there. They gave him house arrest. They took him away from house arrest.

Such a thing cannot happen in Allah's sight. Once He gives the punishment, it's over.

And who will go there? Who will go to Hell?

The people from whom Allah Almighty cuts off His mercy at the Supreme Court, no prophet, no one with the station of intercession will intercede for them. They'll remain there friendless and alone. Yes.

Nor will they be looked at, it says. That is, nor will they be spoken to. It's over. They're separated in a part of Hell. Who do they deal with? With Malik. With Malik, the keeper of Hell. With the angels who torment them. Allah's work is done. Just as here the judges give the prison sentence. Is it the judge who gave the sentence who deals with him in prison? The prison director and guards deal with him. So will angels come from that? This world is the likeness and shadow of the hereafter. The verse is explicit. Yes.

Now, she says this: It says there that the torment won't be lightened. But after many thousands of years, when their nerves are cut, isn't the torment lightened? Because at least they no longer feel the fire. We already said that before regarding Allah's attribute of justice. Now what does it say? It won't be lightened. Allah Almighty, here, if you go a bit deeper, Allah Almighty is just; in the verse He doesn't say sins will be increased; look, here it says they'll be punished with sins multiplied (?) God forbid. In Allah's justice, if a person committed one sin, it's one; the sins he committed will be added up, sins won't be multiplied, but good deeds will be multiplied, 3-5-7-10-70-100 times. These sins, for however long a time they correspond to, they'll stay in torment there that long. In torment; then after their torment ends, since it says many thousands of years, I wonder, the thousand years of here, one day there is a thousand years here. Does it mean according to the thousand years here?

Or according to the thousand years there? If you ask me, it means the thousand years there. How do you know that? I don't know, but according to knowledge I imagine it so. While we're in the world, we fit the time here. When we go to the hereafter, we'll fit the time there. There is night and day there too. Then it must be according to the thousand years there. That is, there's no escape from there. Then they'll remain as fire logs. And the meaning of these fire logs: in trees, in logs, is there a nervous system? No. (?) If you cut it, does it feel pain? No. It doesn't. Because it has no nervous system.

When these are gone, they'll remain as fire logs. When I explained this verse, when I said they'll neither feel nor taste there, this man says, he's denying the verses, he says. Where does it say they won't feel and won't taste, he says. Well, if there's no torment in the fire log either, because its torment is gone now, after lying many thousands (of years); but it's eternal, there's no getting out. If he remains as a fire log, where is the nervous system in it? Where is his torment? Nor does he taste. A fire log. If only they could understand the words I say.

Yes.

Let's look at page 319 now. What does it say there?

200, 319, she says. Yes.

Yes.

Verse 125. He says: My Lord, why did You raise me blind? Whereas I could truly see.

Do you know what the meaning of the blindness here is? It is a figurative meaning.

Now let's prove with this verse that the figurative meaning is figurative, and then continue. Right? Surah As-Sajdah. Four hundred what? What was it? Surah As-Sajdah. Let's see. The twelfth verse. The twelfth verse of As-Sajdah. Let's read (?) from here too. It'll be better. Four hundred fifteen. Four hundred fifty-nine. Four hundred fifteen. Come on. Look what it says. If only you could see when those sinners, before their Lord, hang their heads and say: Our Lord, we have seen and heard, now send us back to the world so we may do good deeds, we now firmly believe, it says. Not blind, but here: we were blind, he says, we saw in the world, he says. He's right.

You had a veil drawn over your eyes, you didn't see, you didn't see the truth, you stuffed plugs in your ears against the truth, you didn't want to hear the truth, and you had your heart sealed too. So you neither see, nor hear, and you've had your heart sealed; you're a servant who doesn't turn to Allah.

It's quite simple.

Hundreds of miracles appear before your eyes, Allah says in His verse. Every day hundreds of miracles appear before your eyes. You're blind, you don't see, He says. What does blind mean? Looking yet blind. You can't understand. You can't see the miracle.

Yes. For example, in winter you're passing under a roof. A sharp icicle fell. Smack, right beside you.

You had a life span protecting you, so it didn't hit you. Otherwise, doesn't that ice fall on someone's head? And doesn't the person die? Don't you hear sometimes? There are ones I've heard of. So when the term is up, it takes him there. If the term isn't up, it falls down beside him. Allah protects him there.

Such miracles for people every day. This blindness is being blind to the word of Allah Almighty. He doesn't believe His words, he opposes. To Allah's word he says, with his reason, this must be like this. For example, long ago I told you something like this. I said a time will come when you'll hear things in religion you've never heard. I said so, didn't I?

There are people here who witnessed these words of mine. In religion, it's come to pass now, what I said has come to pass. Now they say women go to Friday prayer too. Tomorrow or the day after they'll make Friday prayer obligatory for women too. These people. But a woman doesn't go to any prayer. They do go. Without being seen by men, through the back door, their places are separate, behind a lattice.

They have places in the mosque behind a lattice, but this is not a verse saying go to the mosque. Her praying at home is more virtuous.

Yes.

There's no distinction among women.

As for the Prophet's wives, Allah Almighty says, speak with them from behind a curtain. Look, from behind a curtain. With men. Because they are our mothers. Lest their voice or their appearance (?) this. Actually, I'm telling you, my daughter, so that you understand, my daughter-in-law, that story: you women appear to men, they propose something to you, your heart gets corrupted, so to them appear with your clothes covered. Now they've uncovered every part of themselves. We are human; Allah created man honorable, created him honorable above the worlds. I created man in the most beautiful form, He says.

Isn't a person ashamed? Isn't he embarrassed, stark naked like this, breasts out, private parts in the open? What does this mean? Even an animal covers its backside with its tail. Allah gave it a tail, it covers its backside. Yes. How has Satan stripped these people so much? Allah Almighty says it in His verse anyway. What does He say? Our father, your father Adam, your mother Eve, Satan, He says, in Paradise stripped them naked; let him not strip you naked too and drive you out, He says. Let him not lead you astray. As he drove your father Adam and your mother Eve out of Paradise, He says. Let him not seduce you like this in the world too, He says.

So. He tells us everything.

A person at least loves his mother and father. Now and then he does what they say. That is, even (?) he says, still, they're my mother and father. But the One who created your mother and father is Allah. The One who created this realm from nothing is Allah. The One who'll call you to account is Allah too. Well, if you approach your mother and father out of a vein of mercy, why don't you approach the Owner of the worlds? Yes.

Is there anything else? Let's see.

From here.

From here, let's start this. Did we read it? We didn't read it here. From here on.

Maryam, verse 71. Questions started coming in, good, here. We probably didn't read this either. We read this one. Women's Friday prayer.

My question is page 309, Maryam 71. Let's see. 309, 71.

265, 275, 299, 303, 75. The verse: There is none of you who will not pass by it. This is a decree settled for your Lord, it says. Now they make this verse pass through Hell. People through Hell, or they invent a bridge. They push them in from the bridge, striking them with hooks. Then when it comes out that the prophets will also pass through Hell, they invent smokeless fire, or they invent tunnels. These are according to their own minds. Whereas when it says there's no one who won't see that place, what is it like? I'm walking down the street. The street. On one side of the street there's a BİM market.

A BİM market. Do I need to go inside the BİM market to see it? Didn't you see it? That BİM is there. So as we pass around Hell, there will be no one who doesn't see it, it says. And the Supreme Court will be set up near Hell, at the edge of that field.

How did you know, Hodja? The verse says it. When He punishes them, for them to be thrown into Hell, they, it says, will be thrown face down on the ground; and We, it says, will call the guardians of Hell, seize them by their claws (?) and through a gate of Hell have them thrown in, it says. The verdict was given there, he'll go in, like a prison. Yes, so from there passing by, we'll come to the gathering. This means we pass through Hell, so they say. They've always distorted the Quran's verses. Go on. Three verses above, where are you, you're saying.

Verse 68, Maryam, right? So by your Lord, We will surely gather them together with the devils at the Gathering, it says. There you go, what we said is coming: at the Gathering We'll gather them, then We'll have them present around Hell, kneeling on their knees, it says. Oh blessed one, where did you get passing through Hell from, where did you get this striking with hooks? What does the verse say? Today no one will be wronged, everyone will be paid in full for what they earned with their own two hands, it says. I've come, passed through Hell, been beaten with hooks. How have I not been wronged?

These were written according to an ideology. Only those with a grudge against Allah and people who don't know Allah make these slanders. They wrote these, and the words don't match each other, all contradiction. If there were contradiction in Allah's word... Even if men and jinn gathered, they couldn't produce one verse of this surah, it says.

Even if men and jinn gathered, they couldn't produce the like of a surah. So the surahs always confirm each other. And we confirm the wrongly explained verses in the way we explain them with each other.

We've said this one. Here she says Surah Al-Qiyamah, 12, 13, 14, 15. 16. Man is a witness against himself. Could you explain that verse? Of course. Ask from the verse itself (?). Ask from (?). Ask from wherever you like.

Surah Al-Qiyamah. Page 76. 537, 575, 576. 12. On that day the place where they arrive and halt is only your Lord's presence, it says. When the earth becomes another earth and the sky another sky, when the world is brought out flat and level, We will water them with a water, it says. This water: man has a cell that doesn't rot, doesn't vanish, doesn't burn in his body.

Just as each plant's seed lives its own essence, that too is man's seed.

With that water called the sea of secrets on the sixth level, the meaning of the sea of secrets, it dissolves only that (?) cell. You'll sprout from the earth like grass. Then you'll come face to face with the spirits. Face to face. Yes.

On that day the place of arrival and halting is only your Lord's presence. You'll come to the Gathering (?). You'll wait your turn. Just as when you go before the judge, he gave you a time; before your time comes you wait there. That's why, in order. How will the order come about? The order starts with the believers. The prophets at the head of their peoples. First from Islam. From the believers. Then step by step further down. Everyone will wait their turn.

On that day man is told whatever he sent ahead and left behind. How is he told? Well, if a person's reflected image is given to you instantly in a photo, Allah Almighty is able to show you this image you reflected, from when you came of age until you die, in a video. That's one. There are angels on your right and left. The Kiraman Katibin angels. The one on the right writes good deeds, the one on the left sins. So you have no way out at all. He'll show you when in your life, where, what you did.

Man is now a witness against himself. He no longer needs anyone else's testimony. Because what he did is in plain view. He became his own witness. He proved himself by what he did. Did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you are? That's what the verse corresponds to. The verses always confirm each other.

Even if he lays out all his excuses. Consider yourself right as much as you like, it says. List your excuses as much as you like, it says. What you did is in plain view. Today words are of no use. Today a helper is of no use to you. On that day he wishes to flee from his mother and father, the guilt, to escape from it and cover up his guilt. Neither will the mother stand up for her child, nor the father (?) stand up for himself. Such a day it is. Everyone will suffer the consequence of what they did.

My Messenger, do not move your tongue to receive it, the revelation, in haste, it says. The Prophet (peace be upon him): Allah Almighty settles the Quran into his heart by way of revelation. Allah Almighty, who is beyond place and time, conveying to the Prophet (peace be upon him) the Quran's verses by way of communication is called revelation. The conveying of the Quran's verses; and the explanation of the Quran's verses He also conveys to saints and scholars, and this is called inspiration. Inspiration. Distinguish well between revelation and inspiration. Revelation is the verse, inspiration is the opening of the verse; to the person He explains it, Allah explains the inspiration. Those who mix these up with each other don't understand this.

Indeed many among you speak this way too. Because their minds have become (?) to other people's minds. They don't understand the truth. They've engraved these (?) in their brains. People who consider themselves scholars with that. More.

In which verse were we saying it? On that day, what man sent ahead and left behind. Now man is a witness against himself. Yes. Even if he lays out his excuses. My Messenger, do not move your tongue to receive the revelation in haste. Man's nature has some haste in it, he wants to get it at once, but don't hurry, He says, I will settle the revelation firmly in you and you will never forget, He says, you'll never forget. And in a verse: when We reveal to you, surely Satan, it says, let him not try to tempt him; this verse they now explain wrongly here: We cancel Satan's temptation, We settle the revelation firmly, it says. Whereas: We settle Our revelation firmly. Satan's temptation strikes the revelation, strikes that verse, and is cancelled. Its confirmation is confirmed by this verse: To My servant who knows Me, Satan's temptation is (?).

How will you know Allah? You'll know Him through the verses. So Satan's temptation strikes those verses and is cancelled. They've always explained the verses wrongly. As if He can't fully settle the revelation in His servant, so to Satan He says, you go away from here. I can't settle this fully. They always brought this into a form human reason can do. They described Allah that way. Yes. Then surely gathering it, placing it in your heart and making you recite it is upon Us, it says. No, go on. That's why Allah Almighty addresses the prophets like this. No prophet invites people to himself. So the duty of the prophets is to lead people with the verses Allah Almighty revealed to their hearts.

To light the way before them. Yes.

Could you explain the verse: Man is a witness against himself? Let's explain. We've explained it, but let's explain again. With Allah Almighty, in Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172, we made a covenant. The root of the matter is always here. This is the key point. The key point of the Quran. That's why they've closed this off. If you try to open this, they say, you become a fatalist. If you go further, sir, you become a Sufi. If you go further, you become a fatalist. If you go further, you become a Mu'tazilite, you become an unbeliever, they say. They've frightened people away from here. They haven't opened this. This is a one-to-one covenant with Allah Almighty.

Allah Almighty, on a big screen like this, showed you the times, whichever time you'd go to, the lives of that time. Whichever time your heart was drawn to, whichever time you perceived more beautifully, Allah Almighty, who knows all the secrets of your heart, placed characters in you accordingly. However long a time you'll prove yourself in the world, and however many breaths that corresponds to, that many breaths became your life span. And there you had actually already proven yourself. So here Allah Almighty sends us to a realm where His essence isn't seen. I'll pass through here veiled.

I saw you here, I made a covenant. Now I'll send you to a hidden realm. This is verse 134 in Surah Ta-Ha. If We had destroyed them with a torment, it says, before the Quran, without sending it to the world, if We had destroyed them with a torment. That is, it says this: We made a covenant with you, we know what you are. You are for Paradise, and you are for Hell. If I'd thrown you into Hell, what would you have said, He says. Let me say it a bit openly like this. If You had sent me to a realm where Your essence isn't seen, and to the prophets if You had sent books, I would have believed in You.

I didn't see You, after all. I'd have believed in the unseen. So that unseen realm is here now; you won't be able to say anything to Him. The covenant you gave there, that taste and delight you lived, your life, here you're proving. So in this world you make yourself a witness to yourself, to those around you and to Allah. Could there be a better testimony than this? In the realm you live in, with the actual deeds you do, with your speech, with how you treat people, at every moment you call yourself as witness to yourself, those around you and Allah. Yes. Anything else here? Did we skip anything?

Peace be upon you, sir. I have a non-Muslim acquaintance. She has a 15-year-old daughter. And this girl is suicidal. They're going through very difficult times. Can we pray for this person? Is it advisable for her to carry the Ayat al-Kursi prayer on her? May Allah be pleased with you. I kiss your hands. Now, even if he's non-Muslim, you, don't mock any people. Perhaps that people is better than you; so inviting them to the truth is necessary. You invited him to the truth and he didn't come. And he got angry at you too.

By his getting angry at you or by your inviting him to the truth, you can't change anyone's destiny. You did what you did. You invited to the truth. You made him hear it, made it heard. Your duty is done.

You felt pity. If you felt pity for this, you tell him the truth gently, if he listens to you. If he doesn't listen, if suicide is in his destiny, even if you recite Ayat al-Kursi a hundred thousand times for him, even if you complete the Quran a hundred thousand times for him, he'll still commit suicide. Because this is destiny. No one can change destiny. But do you know what people say? His destiny: there he gave his covenant, that is, gave his word, here he went back on his word. Well, you made a covenant with Allah, how can you go back on your word here? What did you take Allah for? Allah couldn't bind your covenant and left you in your own realm.

That power of yours rose above Allah's power. You went back on your word. Come on then (?). Who are you? Look how they describe Allah. Allah, that person went back on his word. He gave his covenant there and went back on his word here.

There you go, another word that doesn't befit Allah Almighty.

They said yes there. In the world they change it themselves. Look. They said yes there. When your Lord said, they said yes, it says. They said yes. Well, if they said yes, look, then all of them are Muslims. The covenant was bound like that.

The proof that not all of them said yes is the division into three groups in the realm of Lahut. And its proof is the proof of verses seven to ten of Surah Al-Waqi'ah: those of the right, those of the left and the class of those brought near. Here they said yes, so how did they become unbelievers in the world (?) These are all ascribing guilt to Allah. Look, do you know what the word Hu is? This is a being, an essence. That comma above it, you know, the comma refers to the person, that is, it refers to His essence; so there too it refers to His essence. The one saying yes is also Allah. But just try explaining these, like this, they've tried to turn the religion of Islam into superstition. Allah won't let anyone devour this religion. Why He does not let it be devoured, you know why? Because Allah says it once, until the Day of Judgement until the Day of Judgment, He says. The religion of Islam, until the Day of Judgment.

Did they think they'd put out Allah's light by blowing with their mouths? Allah will keep His light going until the Day of Judgment. You're a helpless creature. Hodja, you made me a creature? All created beings are creatures; humans too, though created honorable, are creatures. Because everything created in proportion to Allah's will is a creature. The only Creator is Allah; the Creator creates as He wills. You can't compare yourself with Allah. Yes, our time is up. If Allah grants, there'll be more coming, again with you. Ask me the deepest question. Research, find it in the legends of the old saints. Ask whatever you want. Let me answer you with verses. Stay well, be entrusted to Allah. For Allah Almighty. Al-Fatiha.

Amin.
