Talk of 18 April 2026

they will say, what will this old man tell, nobody one single there is one here, a guest says there are more, let's take this one like this

Peace be upon you, sir, good evening, good evening to us all. With your permission I have a question. Allah, exalted Jalla Jalaluhu, the 2 trillion galaxies observable in the universe there may be even more.

By this estimate, outside our galaxy, in other distant galaxies, is there life? Or did Allah, Jalla Jalaluhu, only in our galaxy, in this world in our galaxy? Thank you, I kiss your hands with longing.

The pages are coming. Good.

Our guest, our child. Let's say it. Yes.

Allah Almighty says this in His verse: Even if you leave your world and go to the remotest corner of the universe, We will still find you there, He says. In that case, within these galaxies, in the remotest corner of the universe, He tells us there is life. And that remotest corner is on Mars, probably. What was that place called? Merih? Merih? Yes. That is the remotest corner. They see that there is life on Mars. And when Allah Almighty tells us even if you leave your world and go to the remotest corner of the universe, We will still find you there, He informs us that we will travel beyond our atmosphere.

That is, He tells us. Besides, the lights of the sky We made an adornment for you, He says.

And in those galaxies you mention, who knows, what priceless things beyond value in our world, what precious stones there are. Or precious materials He has created are there.

Let me say only this. Life is on the world, you know, they talk about Martians and so on, it's all lies. There are no Mars, jinn-shmin, Martians and so on. Only, within these seven layers of heavens, the one created as a human and whom He holds as addressee of His Being is only the human being. Besides humans there are also the jinn. They too, at the Day of Judgment, after the Hour has come, will all together be called to account. Concerning us. In this case, since Allah Almighty sent the Quran as a mercy to the worlds, this is what the Holy Quran has told us. Allah, who creates man with a second creation and sends him to the world, the Holy Quran, there is a Book with Us (?) He says, preserved in the Preserved Tablet, nothing can be added to or taken from it (?), as He says, since He sent the Holy Quran as a mercy to the worlds, since He sent the Prophet (peace be upon him) as a mercy to the worlds, the most honoured being is man. Apart from man, the created ones, angels, jinn, are not addressees of Allah Almighty.

But we too become Allah's addressee only by carrying out His commands. And honour comes from here anyway. His sending the Quran to us. That is, His sending it to people. By 'us' I don't mean only Muslims. However many people there are in the world, and however many beings in the worlds, jinn included, angels included, and in fact an angel cannot go outside Allah's command. Since the Quran came to us, there are no beings like us in this universe apart from us. Whoever says there are such beings is wrong according to these verses. But I'm not insisting, this is how I know it. If they find them, let them prove it.

The Day of Judgment is near anyway. Yes.

This one.

Az-Zumar has been read here. We explained this part, didn't we? Peace be upon you, sir. Good evening. We read this part.

Hodja, in Ash-Shura, its thirteenth verse. Give it to me, let me see. Ash-Shura, the thirteenth verse. This is a verse that is explained wrongly. Now we will tell what is wrong in it too. And the right one, God willing, by Allah's grace and generosity. Let's read the wrong one and see. If anyone is listening to me, let him ask himself where the mistake is, or look for it. At the end I will say that the mistake is there. "Keep the religion upright." Correct. "And do not be divided in it." Correct. "What I enjoined, what He enjoined on Noah, and what We revealed to you, and what We enjoined on Abraham, Moses and Jesus, Allah has made religion for you too.

But this religion you call them to is heavy for those who associate partners with Allah. Allah chooses as prophet whom He wills, and guides to the right path whoever turns to Him." Yes.

Now, we have marked this as wrong, but not every part (?) is wrong.

This is correct. The one below will be turned into the correct one too.

"But the religion you call them to is heavy for those who associate partners with Allah. Allah chooses as prophet whom He wills. Whoever turns to Allah is guided."

Here: He chooses as prophet and guides to the right path whoever turns to Him. Whoever turns to Allah is guided. Not the Prophet; the prophets send to Allah, they do this, they direct people. Those who follow the Prophet, they too are guided. The meaning of the word here is different. This too is written correctly. We have written it correctly too. Now what does it say? Keep the religion upright. Do not be divided in it, what He enjoined on Noah, what We revealed to you, and what We enjoined on Abraham, Moses and Jesus, Allah has made religion for you too.

What we have listed up to here corresponds to this verse. What is that verse?

Whatever We said in the beginning, so it will be at the end.

This, this supports that verse. What does it say?

What He enjoined on Noah, what We revealed to you, and what We enjoined on Abraham, Moses and Jesus, Allah has made religion for you too, it says. So if every prophet came upon the Islamic fitrah, all of them taught Islam in the Islamic fitrah.

In this case every prophet who came, by the command of Allah Almighty, to whichever people, within whatever understanding, by telling the meanings of the verses it could bear, is telling the religion of Islam. According to the verse, We do not load on your backs a burden you cannot bear. Verses have a first meaning, a third meaning, a seventh meaning, a seventieth meaning. So to the early times the first, third meaning, to later ones the fifth, sixth meaning, then the eighth, tenth meaning, but the same verses. Allah Almighty sent the verses in a way they would understand. All of them are upon the Islamic fitrah.

Here. Now He made it religion for them. Allah has made religion for you too. But this religion he calls them to is heavy for those who associate partners with Allah, it says. Because some denied Allah.

Can Allah be denied? In the realm of Lahut, when Allah Almighty first created our souls, the people there split into three groups because they denied Allah. Not all of them, though. One group denied. Now here I will open the reason for their denial in its inner meaning. Outward-minded people don't understand this. They deny it, but this is the truth of the matter. I will open it in its inner meaning. Allah Almighty, in human form, just like the people He created, before the people He created as spirit, nafs and life, when He said 'I am your Lord', He sees that one part of those people does not believe.

When the Prophet, beside Allah Almighty, said 'yes, this is our Lord', two parts do believe. One part: the saints, the prophets, the martyrs, the (?), all of them. And one part, the people of the right. Who are the unbelievers? The people of the left. Where is it written? Is it in the Book? It is. Where? Surah Al-Waqi'ah, verse 7. (?) Three classes. Fe ashabül meymeneti ma ashabül meymeneh. People of the right, good tidings to you. Ve ashabül meş'emeti ma ashabül meş'emeh. People of the left, woe to you. There, Allah Almighty, in Surah Al-A'raf, then verse 172, also says: We made a covenant with people.

We wrote their wishes and desires, their aims, as destiny for them. In that destiny, because people there did not recognise Allah, because they did not recognise Allah Almighty, they had their hearts sealed. In Surah Al-Baqarah, the seventh verse. Look what it says here.

Now because they don't know these places, they explain the verses wrongly. And we correct them. What does it say now? Let's say what is wrong. "Allah has sealed their hearts and their ears," it says. Now here it seems Allah Almighty is doing an arbitrary sealing, a sealing among His servants. That's how it is understood. What does it say? "Allah has sealed their hearts and their ears. A kind of veil has been drawn over their eyes too. And for them there is a great punishment in this world and the Hereafter." Now here there is a distinction among His servants. Because he does not know of the covenant in Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172.

Until now that verse has been covered with ashes. They are not aware of this. They don't know the meaning of the verse. When Allah Almighty, in the realm of Lahut, said to people 'I am your Lord', there already they split into three groups. Then in Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172, when He made a covenant with them one by one, everyone had his own aim, his destiny, written down by Allah Almighty as destiny. That script of destiny was written there. And people came to the world to prove it. Why did they come to prove it? Allah Almighty says this: Allah is free of all deficiency in all attributes. No one will be able to question Him.

Allah's attribute of being Allah. So that you would not say: I saw You here like myself, I could not believe in You. Had You sent me to a world where Your Being is not seen, I would have believed in You, He created these worlds so you would not say that. Allah Almighty sent us to a world where He is not seen. Now we are acting out here, as actors, the script of the destiny we had written there. Surah Taha, verse 134, also proves what I am saying. What does it say? "Had We destroyed them with a punishment. Had We destroyed them with a punishment before the Quran," that is, before sending you to the world: you are for Paradise, you are for Hell.

When We made the covenant with you, you denied Us. Come on, you to Hell, you to Paradise, had You said that, you would have said this, He says. Surah Taha, verse 134. "Had You sent us prophets and books, we would not have fallen into this disgrace (?)." Just because you saw Allah Almighty there in human form, today in this world He tells you to believe in His Being in a hidden world where you do not see Allah Almighty. But you took your stamp there, you had your heart sealed there. I did not do an arbitrary sealing. I sealed your wish and desire, He says. In this world too you cannot go beyond it.

That is why there is not a single living being until the Day of Judgment of whom Allah does not know what people will do. And no one will be able to go outside destiny. So in this case people came to the world to prove to themselves what kind of people they are, and they themselves had their hearts sealed.

The one who seals is again Allah, but Allah did not make this seal arbitrarily. With them He made a covenant. The person did not believe in Him, said: You are not my Lord. Here too they come. Don't they worship trees? Don't they worship moons and suns? Aren't there those who worship Satan? There are, I myself witnessed one of them. Now in this case Allah already knows these from the beginning, for their explanation when we return to the Hereafter, when we are called to account at the Supreme Court, everyone will be called to account for the deeds he did. Do those who know and those who don't go to one place?

They will certainly be separated. And the paths are two, one the path of Paradise, one the path of Hell. The one who turns his back on Allah and rebels goes to Hell, the other to Paradise. Yes. That is why only the human being is the one addressed by Allah. Even though there is life in other galaxies, even though there is life, there are no humans or any living beings. But people may perhaps go out and travel all the way there. I say perhaps, I have a strong feeling. A feeling that they will go. But I don't say it's guaranteed. I say it according to this verse: Even if you leave your world and go to the remotest corner of the universe, We will still find you there.

Based on this verse, perhaps they will go and see that there is death there too. People will perhaps leave the world to escape death. Yes. Islam is already in pieces anyway. No one stands up for Islam. Our children were going to keep the future alive. We could not look after our children.

Who did this? The children's fathers did it. They themselves did not pray. They were no example to the children. They chased after the desires of the nafs. The mother, the father, the father in adultery, the mother undressed stark naked. Well, a child growing up in the hands of someone who strips naked is one thing, and growing up in a family with good upbringing is another. Across the world, the Muslim family was a family people pointed to. And when I was in Germany, I went on a visit. How do you look after these children in the family, they themselves would come to learn. What do you do? How do they respect you like this?

They do what you say, they said.

Well. Whose fault is this? First, in the child's character. Then in the parents' task of teaching them Islam.

In this case, go, they wander about outside. Are you a Muslim? Yes, he says. Do you pray? No. He doesn't even know what the condition of being a Muslim is. He doesn't know what it is.

Those who sow discord among us are increasing more and more. In a person there is modesty. Man was created honourable. A person has a vein of decency. You know how they say, his jugular vein has burst. So to speak (?). That is, there's no shame in him anymore. Sometimes we go to Eyüp Sultan. Believe me, they come there in their underwear. Underwear, underwear. They come in their underwear. A person has modesty, you know. Allah created you honourable. Then you come to a place. Where are you going? You are going to the place of a friend of Allah. These people don't go there because he is a friend of Allah.

They are lured with money, specially (?). Or people serving other mentalities. They are sent there just to corrupt morals. In Mecca the Honoured, as I was leaving after doing tawaf, a woman wearing a dress of tulle. In Mecca, in Mecca. Through the tulle, all her private parts are visible. She is trying to get in, to join the tawaf. The guard threw her out. I mean the official there threw her out, sent her away.

Everywhere, to corrupt Islam, the non-Muslim does not shy away from spending money. And people, once you say money, give their lives for it. They sell their homeland too. For money. They sell their wife and children too. Around Adana, at one time, Americans took children and carried them off. You all know this.

In Epstein's case they made children into prostitution machines. I mean, give ours money, take their life. Rather than having your homeland taken: don't touch me, do whatever you want, even take my homeland. Then, they are good people, the unbelievers won't do anything to you. True, if you become their slave, sir, he even carries you on his back, if you become his porter, yes, he will want you want you to stay alive, because you will serve him, an unpaid slave. I mean, as long as we don't stand up for our religion, however many laws you bring, they all work only up to a point. With law these matters, it's not in the law anyway.

There are patchy laws, there is no deterrent law. When does a deterrent law come? He caused 9 people to lose their lives, wounded 13-15 people, yes, we will increase the laws. Is this how they look after children now? A more deterrent law, more deterrent, if necessary execution. You don't do execution, the electric chair exists in the world today, why not here? Our religion also commands this. Look, our religion commands it. Open Surah Al-Ma'idah, the thirty-third verse. Open it there. Surah Al-Ma'idah, the thirty-third verse. Look, I will read it to you here now. Al-Ma'idah.

Al-Ma'idah. The thirty-third verse. Look.

13-29 "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive to corrupt the order of truth on earth", the punishment is this. Allah's law. Allah will protect people. If someone seeks civilization, this is civilization. If one seeks human rights and law, this is human rights and law too. What does it say? "The punishment of those who strive to corrupt the order of truth on earth is only that they be killed without mercy, or crucified." Look what a fine law this is. The man you call civilised makes you apply laws that came out of a bag, but he himself has this law. He has the electric chair, some have execution.

Why don't we have it? What's the reason? Is this a free-for-all inn? This is a state, an honourable state at that.

"or that their hands and feet be cut off on opposite sides, or that they be banished from the land. And for them there is a great punishment in the Hereafter too." If it's a state, the state will have an authoritative law. Why don't they let you put this law in place?

To destroy you from within. To break the unity and togetherness of Islam. Muslims are brothers. If you live Islam, Allah Almighty says this in Islam: A believer at one end of the world and a believer at the other end are brothers, He says. We are brothers. Knowing the truth about those who set us against each other, we must take a stand against them. Wherever the enemy shoots arrows at you, we must guard that place. Because the enemy does not flatter what is in your favour. He does not confirm you. He works to destroy that place. Yes.

Where did we start, where did we end up?

Mustafa Acıoloğlu. Hodja, Ash-Shura 13, could you explain it? This one? Did we open that one? Good. Ash-Shura 13. It's open. He gave us the religion too, but stay in (?) in religion, He said. Surah Ar-Rum, verse 30, is what he wants. That is somewhere around here, on 404, isn't it? Let's see now. This is 404. Okay. Verse 30. This too is a verse explained wrongly. "Turn your face as a hanif to the religion, to the fitrah upon which Allah created people." What does hanif mean? Since childhood, in the one Allah not listening to fabrications, and binding his heart to Allah, that person is a hanif. They call this hanif.

Like Abraham. He is a hanif, it says. From childhood he never worshipped idols.

"There is no change in Allah's creation.

This is the right, the straight religion, but most people do not know," it says.

Now, to what Allah created, as a hanif, He directed to the religion. Allah Almighty created people so that they would know His Being. This is what He calls hanif. So that all people would know His Being, He set apart a part of His spirit. In people, spirit, nafs and life are one. Allah Almighty created our selves (?) later. Why did He create them later? Just as I said a moment ago. In Surah Taha, verse 134: I had seen You, I could not believe in You, had You sent me to the world I would have worshipped You; so that we wouldn't say this, He turned us from a spiritual state into a material state.

In Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 14, He clothed us in flesh and bone. In the visible world we appeared as Ahmet, Mehmet. Here, by the deeds we do in the visible world, we prove what kind of person we are according to our fitrah. Yes. Now when he says turn to the religion as a hanif, Allah already, his essence he will worship, that is, serve Him, and His Being he will recognise, by his own will he will say: my Creator is my Lord. Allah Almighty's word, in a way that he receives it, our Lord created. This is the way He created you, He says. As a hanif. Without paying heed to anyone, knowing that there is no god but Allah, turn your face to Allah as a hanif.

Yes.

Which one? It was the thirtieth, wasn't it? Yes. Look what it says, my Messenger: to what Allah created, as a hanif, just as I said earlier. As a hanif. Direct yourself to the religion. That is, to the side Allah says, to the way He created you; He created those people on the religion of Islam free in their will. Every person has his own will. Because Allah Almighty gave this will as a part of His spirit, the universal will is Allah Almighty, the partial will is man, in the partial will, from himself, because of being created with his own existence, this is a great creation. He will know that Allah Almighty created him.

And he will use his mind. He will bring out his will. He will bring out his wishes and desires. Now He created people on the religion of Islam, free in their will. No one has the power to change what Allah created. That is, telling him: don't recognise Allah, recognise me. No one can interfere with My creatures, He says. Only I interfere with them. And I left them free in their own will, He says. This is people being left free with this will, and their splitting there into three groups. Some did not recognise Him. Some recognised Him. And some joined the ranks of the saints and prophets. Here Allah Almighty also says this in this word: He created them free.

No one has the power to change what Allah created, He says. How? There is a verse about that too. If there had been a god other than Allah, each would have taken what he created, the other what he created, and they would have drowned everything in corruption, He says. In corruption. So what I created, what I created for My purpose, no one, He says, can change. Because there is no god but Me. My creatures, only with their own will, what kind of people they are, to Me with the words they will give Me; I will bind their words, their wills, their covenants, He says. Where? In Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172.

Their destinies were bound.

"This is the straight religion, but most people do not know." This is the religion, He says: that no god other than Me created the people I created, and that all the prophets I sent were sent from My Being, and that those who deny those prophets, having turned their backs on Me, as proof that they denied Me in the beginning, He says, turn their backs on the religion I sent, He says. Yes. That is why people are divided into groups. Now tell me, what are you going to say? Don't raise your hand again while I'm talking. Yes. Say it after I've finished. So then it happens with (?). Yes. You will know that at your last breath.

Whether you are a hanif. If you go on like that until your last breath, you will be a hanif. Because since childhood you have not turned to any (?). You have not believed in anyone but Allah. But if you turn later on, will you be a hanif? La gaybillah la. Do you know the unseen? I don't know it, you don't know it either. That is why, Allah Almighty says in His verse: man, effort upon effort, to come to Me. Striving upon striving, He says. (?), He says. Striving upon striving. Now in the world we are striving upon striving. On the sea, on an ocean, we are rowing on a raft. We will go to the goal.

If we can find the goal, how happy we are.

What is the goal? It is to go to the Hereafter with the testimony of faith. Yes. Is there another one here?

My

question: Page 52, Al-Imran 28, verse 28. Verse: "It is not possible for believers to take unbelievers as friends." Is it addressing Muslims here? To Muslims, is it addressing Muslims?

We answered this last week. Below.

My question is about An-Nisa. Surah An-Nisa, verse 52, the verse where it says they are those whom Allah has cursed. Verse: can there be a cursing by Allah? Or is it their nafs that is cursed? Why did He curse them? Just as He said. The one who curses is Allah. The one who commits the act is the servant. The servant goes outside Allah Almighty's word, that is, outside His command, and if they change the word, if they say (?), Allah Almighty curses him. He goes outside His word. What does it say? Watch over us, they say. Allah Almighty tells him this: Enter through the gate. And they say it by changing the word.

Give us our provision. Watch over us. What does it say? Surah An-Nisa, verse 52. Which page? One minute. 134, 120, 66, six.

Seventy-five, eighty-three, eighty-five, eighty-six.

The fifty-second verse. "These are the ones whom Allah has cursed. For one who is far from Allah's mercy, cursed, you will find no true helper," it says. These are the ones whom Allah has cursed. These are words that are explained very wrongly in the Quran. It should say: these are people who caused themselves to be cursed by Allah. Yes, the one who curses is Allah, but the one who does the deed is man; this way, here it ends up as if Allah cursed whomever He wished, arbitrarily. There is a word error here. Otherwise it is true, Allah says curse. There is no god but Allah. But you cannot say this crime: Allah arbitrarily, discriminating among His servants, cursed this one, put that one outside Islam.

You cannot say He sealed his heart. He had it sealed. He had himself cursed. That is what you will say. You will put the guilt on man. Look, in the whole Quran you cannot find any guilt on man. They have always put it on Allah. They have made it His attribute. Yes.

Do we have another question?

Do you have a question?

Say it.

Surah An-Nisa 59. Surah An-Nisa 59. Let's see.

Yes. "O you who believe! Obey Allah," it says. He created us, of course. Surely He will command you. Now if you started work in a factory, and the owner of that factory gave you a job in that factory, a rule: here, this, this and that, you will not go outside this, if he said, and you go outside it, what does he do? He removes you from the factory. Get out of here, he says. Now Allah Almighty is the owner of this universe. The world is a factory. The people on it are each workers. Its owner is Allah. You will work in the world accordingly.

You cannot go outside this. Just as, fearing you won't find work and will go hungry if you leave the factory, you work wholeheartedly for the people of this factory, to Allah, the owner of the universe, your owner, your Creator, even more wholehearted obedience you will show. Yes. "O you who believe, obey Allah," it says. How beautiful. Obey the Prophet and those of authority among you, the leaders, too. Those in authority. Who are they? Those at the top now: prime ministers, members of parliament, or the president. These, obey these, it says. Because they are the ones who govern this country. If you stir up mischief in this country, stir up rebellion, try to drive people apart from each other, you will have committed treason against this state. Above all, against those at the top.

Yes. That is why Allah Almighty says: if you cannot worship in a place, leave that place, go to your brothers, He says. If living here doesn't suit you, leave and go.

If you want to live here, you are obliged to obey the laws of this state. Yes.

"If you disagree about a matter, if you truly believe in Allah and the Hereafter, refer it to Allah and His Messenger," it says. So in a conversation, in any disagreement, if you can't agree on a subject, ask Allah and His Messenger about it, it says. Where will I find Allah? Ah, in these verses. Where will I find His Messenger? In his hadiths. I don't know the hadiths. In its scholar (?). I will find it in its scholar (?).

"This is both better and more beautiful in outcome," it says. How beautiful. Yes. That is why people don't find the competent one, they go to the one who follows his nafs. Now why is the person who follows his nafs dragged towards a swamp? In the middle of the swamp a zaqqum tree has blossomed, how beautiful, and around it there are colourful, adorned golden bracelets, or golden medals. You envy them and, although it is a swamp, more and more you sink, more and more you sink, and there is no way back. If you want to turn back, you are saved. You stay where you are, and if a man passes by: Friend, I've come this far, throw me a lasso, get me out of here, you say, and you are saved. This is the door of repentance.

But if you don't repent and go towards it, you will drown there. Yes.

Let me see, is there another one? One more, let me see, is there?

Surah Al-Kahf, verse 49. 248. Sir, roughly it'll be around here. A bit more. 47

48, 49. Yes. Surah Al-Kahf 49. "The Book has been laid down," it says. What is the Book? Allah's law. This Book has been laid down.

"You will see the guilty afraid of what is written in it," it says. The guilty. Of whom is he afraid? Let's see. "Woe to us, they say. What kind of book is this? Without leaving out anything, small or great, it has counted out all that we did." What is this?

Everyone has a register. He has a book. This book has been laid down. If you followed this Book, in the Hereafter, when Allah Almighty opens that register you had written, that person will say: What kind of book is this?

Whatever I did, small or great, is all written here. To Allah Almighty he has not a single word left to say. At this Supreme Court, in the presence of Allah Almighty, the person's registers of what he did in the world are opened. Let's continue. "Thus they found what they did before them. Your Lord wrongs no one," it says.

Now Allah has always opened the doors of guidance to people.

From places where you would suffer wrong, He has warned you (?). He has told you. Don't drink alcohol, don't gamble, don't commit adultery, don't eat the forbidden, don't lie, don't gossip, don't backbite, He tells you these. He wants you to be honourable. And in this way He wants you to walk on a straight path, a steady path, without your feet slipping. In this case, if you went outside this, if there you ate the forbidden, gossiped, took on the sin of this and that, committed adultery, isn't it all written in the register too? So when you go there too, look what it says now: "Then the Book has been laid down." Those guilty of what they did, that is, those who committed these, of what is written in it, you will see them afraid. You will see them afraid of what they did, because they are before the Judge. "What kind of book is this, leaving nothing out, leaving, it has counted out all that we did." This part corresponds to this verse. Let me also read here: "What kind of book is this, small, great, nothing small, nothing great left out, it has counted out all that we did," it says. This corresponds to this verse: Fe men ya'mel miskale zerretin hayran yerah, ve men ya'mel miskale zerretin şerran yerah.

It is all written here, you cannot escape it. So you are a guest in this world, and in the guesthouse you eat and drink the provision the owner gives you; if you betray him, of course everything, small and great, tomorrow, the day after, will come before you. Do you think yourself, ourselves, without responsibility? There is such a ring around our neck that if you knew the weight of that ring, the hadith the Prophet spoke, you would live it. You would laugh little and weep much, he would say. Yes.

He is talking about Al-Kahf forty-nine. Here. Al-Kahf 49. Is this what you said? Yes. How beautiful. Is there another one, I wonder? Let's see.

No.

Do you have a question? Ask. Surah Az-Zumar 68. Surah Az-Zumar 68, 465. On page 465. Yes. Surah Az-Zumar, 465. Which verse? 68 68. "When the Trumpet is blown", the Hour has come. How long we lay under the earth is not known. Now the Trumpet is blown. Who blows it?

Israfil. Israfil blows the Trumpet. So what is this? Resurrection, rising from the earth, the Hereafter. "When the Trumpet is blown, except those whom Allah except those whom Allah wills, whatever is in the heavens and on earth will all die, he says. This is the first Trumpet. In the world. He hasn't yet gone to the Hereafter. There too Israfil will blow the Trumpet.

Now whatever there is will all die. "Then when it is blown once more, what do they see? They are standing up, looking." The first blowing is the Hour coming in the world. But not only in the world. Everywhere will be turned upside down. That's what it says anyway. Except those Allah wills. Here, except whom our Lord wills. He created. He knows what will remain in this world and what will go. "Except... whatever is in the heavens and on the earth will all die," it says.

"Then when it is blown once more", so how long we lay under the earth, how much time passed, we don't know this. "And they look and what do they see, they are standing up, looking." Then we will ask each other, we will say: I wonder how long we lay under the earth. Some three days, some one day, a little less than a day, they will say. Those who keep count of how long one lay under the earth, asks the appointed noble angels.

For thousands of years.

That is why Allah Almighty what will happen, the past, our time, tells us all of it.

He tells of the past, of those who went before. He tells of Pharaoh. He tells of Joseph. Sir, He tells of people dying and being resurrected again. He tells how a people was cursed. In the matter of the Sabbath, in the ban, the fishing ban, how they did not heed Allah's command and became apes, He tells. In our time He warns us. There is no god but Allah. Do not go outside what He says either. Find life, He says. He tells of these in the future too. He shows them. The past, we didn't take, we didn't take an example. Let's say we threw it behind us. Now we are living exactly what those before lived, here.

How are we living it? Allah Almighty destroyed some peoples. He brought new peoples in their place. Do you know what He said after that?

Although only a little time had passed since their forefathers, since the destruction, how they came to resemble their forefathers.

Though the Prophet (peace be upon him) came as a mercy to the worlds, removed destruction, but calamities continue.

1447 years have passed. In 1447 years, which by the measure of the Hereafter is a day and a half, within that, the course of the world by the measure of the Hereafter, how we are falling into the state of the people of old. More and more we try to resemble them.

Whoever in this world, in this life, can look after himself, his family, his children, how happy are those people. They are the friends of Allah. Because Allah is the friend of people. As long as those people walk in Allah's way, Allah takes them out of the darkness and leads them to the light. And the Taghut takes people from the light and leads them to darkness. That is Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 257. Our lesson, let's end here. We will pray our prayer. We haven't prayed the evening prayer. Stay well, may Allah keep you. Prepare your questions well. Next week, if I live, and if my Lord grants us health and wellbeing, again together here, even if it's for an hour, even if even if it is a minute, there is no gain for a person like hearing the word of Allah and the treasure he receives, compared with the (?) the world will give you, is far above it.

Because we won't be able to take even an atom from the world. What will come with us from the world is the deeds we did, our good deeds and our sins. Yes. That's why, even if you listen to Allah's word for one minute, it is your treasure. It will come with you. Stay well, may Allah keep you. For the sake of Allah Almighty, Al-Fatiha.

How beautiful. They say verses from the Quran. And we open them. Verses. How beautiful; knowing the verses is not reading and passing on, it is grasping the meanings in them. Yes.

Hodja, for me, we have a particular thing. Some of the angels will die, some of the men will die, they are people.
