Talk of 23 May 2026

Yes. Yes.

These? Let's start from there. It starts here, right?

A guest. "I've been listening to your talks for two years. If you accept, God willing, I'd like to join the talks. I kiss your blessed hands," he says.

Our door is open to everyone. Whoever comes, let them come. They have a place of honour with us.

We are not people who discriminate between people. Nor are we people who act according to people's rank and position. We are here to serve Allah's servants, to be servants for Allah's sake and to tell them the truth. Our door is open to everyone. Whoever wishes may come. Yes. Two... the adulterous woman Does it start here? Yes. "Sir, I don't know your address, how can I find you to join the talks?"

You came here, I suppose, didn't you?

Our address Ceyhun Varlı, where are we, Ceyhun Efendi? Manager

A young man wants to come here. He wants the address. We'll give the address of this place, right?

Istanbul, Arnavutköy, Taşoluk Mahallesi, Kemerburgaz Sokak, number 8. I'll say it again. Arnavutköy, Taşoluk Mahallesi. If you're writing it, tell me when you're done. Arnavutköy, Taşoluk Mahallesi, Kemerburgaz Sokak, number eight.

if you call Ceyhun (?), he will also pick you up from where you say you say, wherever you say, and bring you here. Yes.

"Somewhere, Surah An-Nur verses 2 and 3 were taken as one continuing the other and translated like this. I wanted to ask you," he says.

Verses 2 and 3, right? "Strike each of the adulterous woman and the adulterous man a hundred lashes." These are for unmarried people.

Unmarried. Two, that is, the man is unmarried, the girl is unmarried too. For them, a hundred lashes each. But first they will be married to each other. If they don't marry, a hundred lashes each. "Strike each of them a hundred lashes. If you believe in Allah and the Last Day, in Allah's religion when applying His rulings, let not pity for them seize you. And let a group of the believers witness their punishment," it says.

He'll put the stick under his arm, grip it like this and strike like this. With full force. A hundred lashes. These are for unmarried people. Now we've come to three. "The adulterous man marries none but an adulterous or idolatrous woman." Look, the adulterous man marries none but an adulterous or idolatrous woman. "And the adulterous woman marries only an adulterous or idolatrous man. This has been forbidden to the believers."

What was Allah's justice for adulterers? Lashing. That is, if the man is married and the woman is married too, they are stoned. Here, since it says the adulterous man wants to marry the adulterous woman, and the adulterous woman the adulterous man, these are idolaters or else unbelievers. People outside the religion of Islam. When it says this is forbidden to the believers, it is forbidden to the Muslim. A Muslim cannot do this. When a Muslim does it, he deserves punishment. There's a difference between a Muslim and an unbeliever. Allah's servants are all equal in this world. But they have denied Allah.

They have denied the Prophet. They have become unbelievers. They have denied Allah. They have become idolaters, that is, idol worshippers. In that case they marry each other. Allah does not make this lawful for them. But if Muslims do this, they fall into their state.

What is their state?

One of the two ways, the one He calls "what an evil course, what an evil bed": the way to Hell. Yes. Even if he isn't stoned here, there — if you can endure it — a hand that cannot endure the flame of a match, a fingertip — there, whenever the fire dies down, not from wood — its fuel is people and fuel, it says. Fuel of stone. How will he endure that?

May Allah protect us from such a wrong.

Both the adulterous woman and the man she commits adultery with.

May Allah protect us. The verse here already says it, in the third one. Look what it says: "The adulterous man marries none but an adulterous or idolatrous woman." The adulterous man. He is not a Muslim. This is forbidden to the Muslim.

Now, and the adulterous woman, only adulterous or idolatrous men — what is it? "This has been forbidden to the believers," it says. It is forbidden. Well, a question may come to our minds.

These men are Muslims. Not unbelievers either. But they do this.

That's true. Don't they do it? Muslims do it. Today they even swap women, swap married women with each other. There are those who swap. May Allah protect us.

If you ask what the punishment of these is, even though they are Muslims, look at your last breath.

Will these people go as Muslims at their last breath, I wonder?

Yes. Satan, too, through worship, rose as far as being the teacher of the angels. But in the end, in the end he was cursed. That's why the last breath is very important.

Why is the last breath so important? This, too, this point is important too.

Think of a person like this.

Suppose he said, constantly, La ilahe illallah, la ilahe illallah, la ilahe illallah, if he said this constantly. Or else he didn't make dhikr, but "çubuğum darcığım, çubuğum darcığım, çubuğum darcığım" — he repeats that as his dhikr, saying such words.

He says it even in his sleep.

That's why, if we pray and remember Allah, even at that last moment we won't follow Satan's whispering and temptation. If the heart and tongue are still busy with the remembrance of Allah, you go as a Muslim. That's why Allah Almighty made prayer obligatory for man, so that having prayed all his life he says: I've prayed my whole life, now shall I sacrifice this, a whole life, for a single moment here? So he still goes as a Muslim. Prayer, fasting, zakat — if a person, without leaving the right path, keeps on continually in Allah's way, it becomes a habit in him and he goes in Islam, but people who constantly, with adultery, sir — what our Lord does not want, and has done an evil to be paid for with one's life — who still condone it: their last moments are very dangerous.

In that case his punishment is this: whether he goes as a Muslim, at the last moment, belongs to Allah. What happens there? It isn't known.

But I don't expect him to go in Islam. True, the door of repentance is open until the moment of death. But there's another matter. Although He says, "I keep the door of repentance open to you until the moment of death," yet because you don't approach that door of repentance and turn your back, the angels, He says, take your soul striking your back and your face, He says. This shows how closed the state at that moment of death is. It shows the recompense for the filth he committed in life. That's why our life is in our hands. While our life goes on, our greatest treasure is our lifetime. If we use this treasure well in our lifetime, we'll have invested in the hereafter.

Yes. If we open the door of this treasure and squander it, we go empty-handed. Will we then be cast into its torment? Yes.

Surah Al-Jathiyah, verse 17. 439. 439.

Al-Jathiyah 17. "We gave them clear proofs concerning religion," it says. Allah Almighty made the rulings of the Sharia known to us. Clear proofs. Sharia rulings. That is, the foundation of the Quran.

This also supports verse 7 of Surah Al Imran. What does it say there? Look, let's read it in the Quran. We'll go into verse 7 even better. We'll understand.

Surah Al-Baqarah — Al Imran 7. 7. "It is Allah who sent down the Book to the unlettered Messenger; He who sent the Book down clear and firm, without any alteration.

Some of it are verses that are clear and definite, the foundations of the Quran." These are the clear (muhkam) verses. What does it say here? "Other verses are allegorical (mutashabih)." That is, you cannot give their meaning. Here too it says, "We gave clear proofs concerning religion." Those clear proofs are here: the clear verses of the Quran. That is, the Sharia rulings.

"But after knowledge came to them, they fell into division out of envy among themselves." Who are they? The People of the Book. "Surely your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about what they differed in." Now if we read this from one verse earlier, what kind of division they fell into will be explained better. "Indeed We gave the Children of Israel the Book, judgment and prophethood," it says. We gave prophethood. "We provided them with good provisions." "Because of their creation as human beings, We made them superior to the worlds, in the worlds, above the worlds," it says.

By their creation as human beings. Saying these, the Children of Israel, are above the worlds, above people — that's wrong in the interpretation. A wrong interpretation. Look what it says. "We gave judgment and prophethood. We provided them with good provisions and made them superior to the worlds," it says. "We made them superior to the worlds," it says. Now here, when it says "We made them superior to the worlds", which verse is being denied?

That verse is being denied here now.

This verse is being denied. Because the Prophet is the one created from his light, sent as a mercy to the worlds.

Satan too was a scholar. He rose to being teacher of the angels.

These, too — it says, as human beings. "We made you superior to the worlds." As human beings. When I say "We made them superior to the worlds as human beings", an answer comes to me from the Diyanet. They say: but does it say "man", or does it say "Israelite"? Supposedly I made a distinction here. If He says "I made you superior to the worlds as a human being", am I an animal? Are you an animal? Aren't you a human being? Human beings were created honoured above the worlds. With word games they supposedly say: you're saying it wrong, you're doing it wrong — they twist the words. Well, what else do I have here?

Here. Wrongly interpreted words. In that case, what are the matters they fell into division over? Seeing themselves as superior and standing against Allah's verses, opposing them. Saying "We are those close to Allah" — that's the superiority. What they said by their own knowledge.

In the Gospel too, they wage war with Allah. They wrestled with Allah, and even defeated Allah. Yes, may Allah protect us.

Such a cursed people they are. Their reckoning, it says, is in the hereafter. Here too: "Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about what they differed in."

Here, Surah Al-Jathiyah, in verse 17 of Surah Al-Jathiyah, Allah Almighty tells that the Children of Israel are a cursed people who opposed Allah's verses, He declares. They fell into division. I gave you My command, He says. I gave the Book. But in that Book, within your own world, within your own will, you gave your judgment outside of Me, outside of Me, He says. You went outside My judgment. Well then, I will ask you in the hereafter, He says. Because the world is the place where a person proves what kind of person he is.

Yes.

Let's see if there's a question here. There is.

Surah An-Nahl, verse 76. 274. On page 274.

73-74 Surah An-Nahl 76. "Allah sets forth the example of two men. One of them is mute, unable to do anything, a burden on his master. Wherever he sends him, he brings no good. Is this man equal to one who walks the straight path and commands justice?" it says.

Now, so that you can understand these better, let's start from one verse earlier. These verses correspond to Allah Almighty's verse "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?"

We'll tell it, God willing.

Allah, with a slave owned by another who has no power over anything, and someone who spends secretly and openly from the good provision We gave him from Us," it says. "Are they ever equal? Praise belongs to Allah. But most of them do not know," it says. Here Allah Almighty is telling of the one who knows and the one who doesn't, the Muslim and the non-Muslim. Is the one who is awake, who knows his Lord, who is with his Lord and who is thankful for the blessings Allah gives, and the one who constantly eats and drinks and, sir, turns his back on Allah equal, it says here; the one who denies Him who gives provision, who created you from nothing, who honoured you above the worlds, who gave you a part of His spirit, put you into human form and spread every blessing before you — and the one who knows the Giver, the Giver of that provision — are they equal, it says; that is, are the seeing and the blind equal, are the knowing and the unknowing equal?

Here it gives the example of a slave and his master.

Then it says: "Allah sets forth the example of two men. One of them is mute, unable to do anything, and a burden on his master. Wherever he sends him, he brings no good. Is this man equal to one who walks the straight path and commands justice?" it says.

That is, a person who goes on Allah's way and is thankful to Allah, and one who eats and drinks the provision Allah constantly gives and turns his back on Allah — are they equal?

That's not possible. Because one is a burden, and the other gives thanks in return for what he receives, and when the Owner gives provision He sees its return: there's a thankful bargain here.

Allah gives every kind of provision. The person gives thanks in every state. What is it? A bargain. "Always be thankful," it says. You're carrying out Allah's command, after all. You know Him. He created me from nothing. He gave me a life. He feeds me, gives me drink. I came to this world to prove what kind of person I am. Praise and glory be, you say. God willing, by doing what my Lord said — He doesn't ask anything of me, after all. What does He want from me? "Know My Being," He says. Well, since I know His Being, my Lord says: you are in profit in the trade we made in My presence. That profit is mansions, palaces, yachts, properties for you in Paradise.

One thanks, gives thanks. The other goes, drinks, turns his back, and among people, among these people created honoured, he does things that even some animals don't do.

There are animals that live with a single mate until they die.

Yes. That's why on earth they are like four-legged beasts — even more astray, the people He describes so.

Let's read the rest. "The unseen of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah," it says. La gaybillah Allah. What is in the heavens, what is on the earth — what do we know? There are beings, beings we don't know. He created 17 thousand worlds. Which one will you name? You can't know what is in the heavens either. "And the coming of the Hour is but the twinkling of an eye, or even less," it says. The coming of the Hour — while you were in the world, in pleasure and enjoyment, did you think you'd always live like this, it says. The first Hour is your death, the second Hour is the world's end, the Hour striking in the universe; it lasts the twinkling of an eye, it says. So it is: here, although a person's lifespan is 60 years, we live 1.5 hours compared to the hereafter; 60 years of life corresponds to about 1.5 hours, because a thousand years here are like one day of the hereafter. In that case, when the Hour strikes, it will all happen within this one day.

And that, in the twinkling of an eye. Like the world of the hereafter.

"Surely Allah has power over all things." Because He created everything and holds everything under His command.

Now, while you knew nothing, Allah brought you out of your mothers' wombs and gave you hearing, sight and hearts so that you may be thankful." Look how beautifully it says it: so that you may be thankful. That is, so that you may know Allah. So that you may worship Allah in return for the blessings given.

Here Allah Almighty, having created man and set the Quran before us, wants us to be ruled by the rulings in it. He wants His Being to be known. That's why this verse, these verses here, make it known. Whoever turns his back, it says, on the blessings I gave, he too attains the second, the evil way, that Hell He calls "what an evil bed".

Nahl seventy-six? Maryam seventeen, sir. Did we find it?

Yes, Hodja. Maryam seventeen. Yes, sir. The seventeenth verse.

"Mary drew a curtain between herself and them; then We sent her Our spirit, and it appeared to her in the form of a perfect human," it says, here.

For me to open this up to you, you would need very deep knowledge.

If we open this, the Sharia literalists will call us deviant. In fact the Sharia literalists are the Kharijites themselves.

Kharijites. If a Muslim says even a little thing that is right, if it's contrary to their reasoning, they say you're an unbeliever. Yes. They accuse him of unbelief. Here you have to know the spirit, the ruh. What is the ruh?

If you say the ruh is Gabriel, you fall into error.

But the literalist tells us the ruh is Gabriel. Whereas Allah Almighty created Gabriel from light. The universal spirit is Allah Almighty.

In that case, if I open this up to you, you'd have to tell it to a person who has reached that level. But we'll say only this much. Here in the verses, the spirit coming to her, that is, coming to Mary, they say is Gabriel. An angel. They say he came. There is no angel here. In this verse. Let me say that first. Verse 17. Yes.

Verse 17. There's no angel or anything here. What is there? There is the ruh.

Min dunihim min hicaben min ruhunihim ve ruhana These wretched glasses make me misread. Now verse 17: Fettehazet min dunihim hicaben fe erselna ileyha ruhana. "I sent My spirit," it says, My spirit. "Mary drew a curtain between herself and them; then We sent her Our spirit, and it appeared to her in the form of a perfect human" — here

let me tell you the truth anyway, whether they believe it or not. This all Muslims, every one of them, need to know. The universal spirit is Allah Almighty. Its proof is Surah An-Nahl, verse 102. Open it, let me see. There are many proofs, but I'll tell you one. Which page is Surah An-Nahl? Have a look. 375 375

Wait, let's see, look now, 234, 256 276, 102, 102. Look, what does it say? "Say that ... the Quran, so that they become Muslims" — listen well. "So that they become Muslims and, finding the right path, receive glad tidings, your Lord, the Holy Spirit" — I'm not saying it, Allah is saying it — "your Lord, the Holy Spirit, from His presence, as truth, sent it down." The Holy Spirit, Ruh al- Amin — these are some attributes of Allah, His attributes, the universal spirit, these If Allah gave man a part of the spirit of His Being, a part of His spirit, and if from that one part billions of people were created, the attributes belonging to the Being of that spirit are His alone.

Belonging to His Being. Allah Almighty has forms of His Being. However many people will come into the world, He gave them from the forms in His Being. Let's say 20 billion, 30 billion people will come into the world. Allah Almighty has infinite forms. He gives those 30 billion forms of His Being to people. Beyond the 30 billion forms of His Being, He has His own forms. That's why, when it says He resembles none, no form of the people resembles Him. But in the same form... The forms are the same. But those forms of people — even if thirty billion came into the world, do people resemble each other? They don't.

That's why "He resembles nothing" doesn't mean He resembles nothing. No being resembles Him. But He too exists with the form of His Being. And He takes whatever form He wishes. Because "ve lekad halaknel insane fi ahseni takvim": I created man in the most beautiful form. Lahul asma'ul husna, the most beautiful forms and attributes are Mine, He says. Now here He separates the form: apart from what He gave to people, the forms are with Him, and the attributes are with Him. That is, that's why He has no fixed form. Just as He appeared to Moses like fire. There's no fixed form. That's why it's not that Allah cannot be seen.

Because they can't explain these points, they misunderstand them. These points. Allah Almighty sends a form from His Being. Again, to Mary — after opening it up this far — from His Being, a form. Because no one other than Allah can breathe into Mary that spirit. "Hodja, what are you saying?" Look, I'm saying this according to this verse. The creation of Jesus is like that of Mary... "The creation of Jesus is like the creation of Adam," it says. If Allah breathed into Adam — because He is the Creator. In His presence we have no shameful side. Because He created every part of us. He is the Creator. He is our Owner.

That's why the unbelievers were a little ahead of us Muslims in reasoning here. What do they say? They call Mary His wife. There they go astray. They call Mary His wife; there they go astray.

If you know the verses well, you'll see very clearly who goes astray where.

There are some deep things. They're making me say it by force. I won't go further, God willing. That's enough. Yes.

Let's see.

"As-salamu alaykum, Hodja," he says. "Your book Correct Explanations of the Wrongly Interpreted Verses in the Holy Quran — while reading it, a question stuck in my mind. Surah Al-A'raf, verse 16, in the verse explanation: so your Lord, mankind and jinn communities, has written their wishes and desires for them as their destiny' — I didn't understand the part about the jinn making a covenant, so I wanted to ask you.

As I understand it, do the jinn too, just like humans, with our Lord make a covenant? So they too have a destiny? Just like humans. But aren't reason and will unique to humans? Or do they have something similar? My mind didn't fully grasp this subject. May Allah be pleased with you in advance," he says.

The jinn too have their exalted ones, who will choose their own way, and their lowly, who will choose their own way. That is, they have Muslims and unbelievers. If they had no reason, or if they too had not made a covenant with Allah Almighty, how would Allah know what they'd do? Allah — since He won't create something He doesn't know, if He created it, it means He knows what it will do. So in this case, only, they have no ruh; the ruh is only in man. They too will be judged by the good deeds and sins they did. After a certain life — how long they will live is not known — they will disappear.

That is, the jinn will go to Hell too. Not to Paradise. Where their place is, we don't know. But there's nothing in the Quran that's unknown. Only they will be called to account. After a certain life, they too will disappear. They will cease to exist. In this case, Allah Almighty in Al-A'raf, verse 16 — let's read that part now.

Sir, 70, 52 — Al-A'raf 16 is up.

"Iblis said: Then in return for Your leading me astray" — verse 16. Look now, this is a wrongly interpreted verse. Allah leads no one astray. Since Allah leads no one astray, they've interpreted the verses constantly blaming Allah Almighty. In this case, here in Al-A'raf, verse 179 of the Surah, again they blame Allah like this. they accuse. Look what it says: wa laqad dhara'na li-jahannama kathiran minal-jinni vel insi. "Indeed We created many of the jinn and humans for Hell." There is no such Allah. Gentlemen, ladies, there is no such Allah. There is no Creator for cruelty, for torment. Allah treats His creatures with mercy.

In this case they've interpreted the verses wholly by blaming Allah. Here too, Allah led Satan astray. Allah didn't lead Satan astray; he didn't prostrate to Adam, didn't obey Allah. He went astray himself. "In return for my going astray" — we wrote the correct version here. "Iblis said: Then in return for my going astray, my rebellion, I swear that I, to lead them astray, will sit on Your straight path," it says. And Allah Almighty says: take those who follow you, I've given them to you. Then in another verse He says: with your armies, your family, your children, drown them in clamour, He says.

And then, in the end, it says the opposite. It says: Satan deceives you anyway. Well, these verses are not the foundation of the Quran. This is a book written according to Zionism.

These are not the foundation of the Quran. Quran verses do not contradict each other. Quran verses do not attribute such things to Allah. Quran verses do not impair Allah's justice. Quran verses keep the door of repentance open to the servants Allah created until they die.

This Quran edition is a book written according to Zionism. It needs to be changed.

I roughly, 500-odd, truly well understood, as a complete textbook of Islam. A textbook, for lessons. And I'm about to publish it. I'll give them to the places where they're needed, too. To the places where they're needed. Is there anything else here? We've opened this. Surah Al-Anbiya 35, verse. Surah Al-Anbiya 35. Which page is it? 323.

Let me see. 5, 319. Yes. Which verse? Verse 35. That's a wrongly interpreted verse. "Every soul shall taste death." Now when we say wrongly interpreted verses, not all of them are wrong. They twist one inside and attribute it to Allah. Now for example here: every soul shall taste death. It's been interpreted wrongly, but this part is right. That is, there are correct things in it. Every living being will taste death.

"As a test" — look now, what does it say here? A test. Allah Almighty is testing us. "As a test," it says. Allah tests no one. La gaybide Allah. The unseen is Allah's; and there's not a single creature to come until the Last Day whose deeds We don't know, it says. Accordingly, there's no such thing as Allah testing. Burak, too, interprets this wrongly. It tells you the truth, then portrays Allah Almighty as not knowing the unseen. It sets the verses against each other.

"We test you with good and with evil. And to Us you will be returned." Of course. With good, with evil. A test. Here it says "test", as if "since I don't know, I'll test you". How can that be, when there's not a single creature to come until the Last Day whose deeds We don't know, according to that verse? It even says the leaves of the trees do not stir without My permission. For Allah, the Creator who holds His creation under His rule, the word "test" attributes a deficiency to Allah. That's why, sometimes with plenty, sometimes with want, He tests us. Why? He brings to light the covenant we gave Allah Almighty and says: this is what you are.

He makes us witnesses against ourselves. This verse I mentioned corresponds, in other words, to this verse: "Did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you are?" it says. Then how shall we prove ourselves? For the events in the covenant we gave before, Allah Almighty will create causes for us, and when we act on those causes we'll earn reward and sin. In this way we will prove what kind of person we are. Yes.

Yes. M1... Did we open 35? Okay. Now

Where did this go?

Why did this close? The broadcast has closed.

What happened to this?

Yes.

Why did it close?

Is this the current one?

Is this the current one? Okay.

Yes. Is there anything else? Let's have a look over here. No. Do you have questions?

Ask. Surah Al-Kahf. Surah Al-Kahf. Which page? Three hundred one. Page three hundred one. Surah Al-Kahf.

82, is it? Surah Al-Kahf, verse 82. "As for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city." This is the story of Khidr (peace be upon him) and Moses. Moses wanted to learn ladunni knowledge, knowledge from Allah's presence. Allah Almighty recommended Khidr's company to him. Finally they came to the wall.

He repaired the wall. He set the wall right. There was gold underneath it.

Allah wanted that wall to stand; the children were orphans, small; when they grew up, they'd take that gold from there and make it their capital. Now, "As for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city. Beneath it was a treasure of theirs. Their father was a righteous man. Your Lord wanted those two children to reach their full strength and, as a mercy from your Lord, bring out their treasure. I did not do this of my own accord. This is the inner meaning of what you could not bear patiently," it says. What are you asking about here? Speak.

Come closer. We can't hear you. "Your Lord said."

"But Hodja, on these matters, our Lord's..." You have a destiny; so that you can live your destiny, from under the toppling wall you'll take the gold and go. Allah Almighty wanted him to repair it so they could take it — of course, his destiny. Well: "We plot, they plot a plot, and I plot, but I am the best of plotters," it says. Here Allah Almighty is not plotting. He prepares for him the event within his destiny. He doesn't tilt the wall. The real question to ask here isn't that. The real question here is what kind of knowledge ladunni knowledge is.

That's the real question.

Now what else would he say? He has the wall repaired, He commands him: repair the wall. Why? Because within the destiny he's living, there are things he'll do with that gold, or with that treasure; the owners know this too. So when He says repair it — who wanted this? Allah has it repaired. "Your Lord wanted" — Khidr (peace be upon him) says this, but based on his destiny, based on his destiny he says it, yes. Not by our Lord's own wish and will; He helps him live his destiny, He prepares it for him, so that he doesn't go outside his destiny. If that wall collapses, others will take the gold and he won't be able to live his destiny. That's why the word there isn't the point; the real point is what ladunni knowledge is. "To whom We give knowledge,

We give wisdom," it says. Wisdom is roughly a part of ladunni knowledge. This wisdom is knowing what the verses mean. Ladunni knowledge, for you: someone did something, but his Lord makes known to him why he did it. That's why he does that deed.

For example, he holed the ship. He killed the boy. He knows all of it. Because our Lord makes it known to him. Kill the boy. Because his father was good. This, it says, will be good for him, it says. His life was only that long, it says. He had given him only that much life. To save his father and to bring the child to salvation. He was still a child, after all. He's doing this anyway to teach him ladunni knowledge. Otherwise, He doesn't have him killed arbitrarily while he still had life left. His time had come. Perhaps the moment he touched him, his soul departed.

That's how it goes, of course.

No one else has a question, I suppose. We end our lesson here. Stay well. Go in Allah's care. Al-Fatiha for the sake of Allah Almighty. Amen.
