Talk of 3 October 2026

Alhamdulillah.

Quite a few questions are here. Quite a few questions.

Let's go up a bit and see. There's something here too.

There's some here. There's some here. There's some there.

I think it starts from here.

No. We already did this one.

It starts from here. When I look, I've marked it.

Yes, I think it starts from here. Okay. We're set.

As-salamu alaykum, sir, she says.

I respectfully kiss your blessed hands. My question: Al-Ma'idah 115, the world. Let me take it from here. Is it in this world or the hereafter, she asks. Can you explain this? I think we covered this in the last lesson, it seems to me. No, Hodja, it stopped here, right. Is that right? Okay. Surah Al-Ma'idah. Yes. Go ahead. Al-Ma'idah 115. Allah then said, it says. If we read from one verse before, the disciples say to Jesus: can you bring us from Allah a ma'idah, that is, food? And Jesus says to his disciples: Do you not believe? he says. We believe, but we asked so that our hearts may be at rest, they say. Thereupon Jesus (peace be upon him) prays to Allah Almighty.

And Allah Almighty to him, Allah said this: I will surely send it down to you, that is, the food, but whoever among you disbelieves after this, I will punish him with a punishment I have inflicted on no one in the universe, He says. In the universe, a punishment He has inflicted on no one. Think, Pharaoh included in that, Nimrod included in that. The punishment of this world is temporary.

However much you punish, he will be freed from the punishment. But pay attention to the words. What do the words say?

Whoever among you disbelieves, I have inflicted on no one in the universe. When He says the universe, it includes the seven heavens and Paradise and Hell. Because that is the universe. All this realm. When we say the universe, do we mean only man? Or do we mean this world? We say the whole universe. All the realms, that is. That is the meaning. So when He says I will inflict a punishment I have inflicted on no one, the punishment He inflicts here ends. But the punishment He inflicts in the hereafter does not end. Because there is no death for souls. Since there is no death, in Hell there is eternal fire and many other punishments.

For example, being beaten with iron whips. Sir, beside the fire, you know how cars go into tunnels; imagine it the size of two tunnels. Inside, a dusty-pink flame. They drop the man in there, and within five or six seconds pull him out and bring him collapsed on the ground like pitch-black coal. Hodja, you describe it as if you'd seen it. By Allah I saw it, by Allah I saw it. I say it under oath. I toured that place too. I saw it. Count another 5-6 seconds. After 5-6 seconds the skin cracks. Just like earth, the way earth cracks. Underneath, pure white skin appears. When that white skin starts to appear, the person comes to and starts moaning.

After a while, again 5-6 seconds later, the skin on top changes. Pure white skin comes out underneath. The Zabaniya angels. Exactly like the leather breeches wrestlers wear. And a knot of hair at the back of the head. They grab him by the scruff and drop him back in there. Well, isn't this a punishment inflicted on no one else in the universe? There you go. Yes. May Allah protect us from such a punishment. Amen.

Here, they see part of the punishment in this world too, but the real punishment, He says He inflicts on no one in the universe, that is, and here there's a second meaning: pay close attention here. You asked Allah for something, a miracle. If Allah Almighty shows you that miracle and you deny it, once in the realm of Lahut, when our Lord in front of you said I am your Lord, you denied. In a realm where His Essence is not seen, this time when you make a request of Allah, if He shows you a miracle, for example, He brought a yellow camel out of a rock.

What did they do? They brought out a cow. When they slaughtered it, what did He do? The camel, they cut its legs. Allah Almighty destroyed the people of Salih. Destruction for you too, so if you also deny the food I send, if you turn your backs, turn your backs and walk away, you'll end up the same, that is, there you didn't believe Me, here too you mocked, mocked, even though I truly sent you the food, you still mocked here; I will inflict on you the greatest punishment I've inflicted on no one in the universe, He says. What is this greatest punishment? Allah Almighty gave man a part of His spirit.

So since Allah is immortal, man, created with a part from our Lord, is eternal too. Eternal with Allah. But people who can't grasp this call me, for these words of mine, a follower of wahdat al-wujud. These poor people don't know what wahdat al-wujud is.

Allah is the One sought. That is, He creates in proportion to His will. All that is created is creature. If He gave man a part of His Essence and, because of man's spirit, made Paradise and Hell eternal for him, then this man who subsists through Allah, who deserves a life together with his Lord, though he is a part from his Lord, does that make it wahdat al-wujud? The Oneness is one anyway. Those who separate from that being, like from a king, or let's put it this way: a honeybee, when bees multiply, are they all queens? No. Are they queen bees? No. What does it do? It breeds, for example. Then after that another queen bee comes out and changes hives.

But among people there is no one who will be such a king again. Why? Because no created being has been created that will possess Allah's knowledge. That is why that Oneness is one. The Oneness is one. He is God. He is the Creator. We are the created. We are created people who believe in Allah. Yes. That is why His punishment cannot be endured. Hodja, after they burn for many thousands of years, it says. They will remain as logs of fire.

So Allah's word is both outward and inward. There is punishment in the outward, and an eternal punishment in the inward too.

Yes, Bayramiye.

Bayramiye has one more question. As-salamu alaykum, sir. With respect, (I kiss) your blessed hands, sir. My question: Al-Ma'idah 117, "me, me, me, You caused me to die," it says. Can you explain this? Can you explain it? May Allah be pleased with you. Surah Al-Ma'idah 115, 116, 117. Yes.

I told them only what You commanded me. Allah, who is my Lord and your Lord: serve Allah, I said. As long as I was among them, I was a watcher over them. When You caused me to die, You alone became the observer over them. You are the One who sees all things truly, it says. Now, Jesus is still alive. The Great Judgment has not yet been set up.

Now if we read one verse back, look what it says. Allah: O Jesus, son of Mary — He says this He says this at the Supreme Court, not in this world. Prophet Jesus has not yet been called to account. O Jesus, son of Mary, was it you who said to people, take me and my mother as two gods besides Allah? He says. How beautiful: was it you who said it?

When He says this, he says: God forbid, glory be to You. Allah knows he didn't say it, yet He prompts him, lets him continue his words. It is not fitting for me to say what I have no right to, he says. This corresponds to this verse. Which one is it? It is not fitting for me to say what I have no right to. No prophet invites people to himself, it says. This corresponds to that verse. You know what is within me. This corresponds to this verse. I know what lies in the farthest corner of your hearts that you yourselves don't know, He says. Because He knows where every living being that will come until the Day of Judgment will be and what it will do.

Not even the leaves of the trees stir without His permission. Yes. Whereas I do not know what is in Your Essence, he says. What does Prophet Isa say? I do not know what is in Your essence. You alone know the hidden things completely, he says. This corresponds to this verse.

La gaybıyla Allah: Allah gives the unseen, it says. Yes. Now: I told them only what You commanded me. That is, I did my prophetic duty. And You are witness to this. How a witness? I said what You said, he says.

I said, serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord, he says.

As long as I was among them, I was a watcher, a watcher over them, he says. That is, the watcher here isn't one who forces them and calls them to the Truth. I always explained the Truth, he says. I defended the Truth against falsehood, he says. Yes. When You caused me to die, You became the observer over them. That is, You raised me to the heavens. Then You sent me down. Then You caused me to die. Now the Great Judgment is set up. We are being called to account. After I died, You were the observer over them, he says. So he is still watching. But he is not among them, a watcher. Allah is witness to this too.

He has not died yet. When will he die? When Hazrat Mahdi comes. He too will accept Islam. A true Muslim. He will accept the religion. The religion of Islam. That is, he will confirm that the Prophet is a prophet. But poor people, those who can't use their reason. Who are they? Non-Muslims. What do they say? Jesus will come, will come to Christianity. Not to Christianity; he is from the Prophet's spirit. According to the verse 'Inned dine indallahil Islam', he will take on Islam. He is on the religion of Islam anyway. He will be a helper to the Messenger of Allah. He will be of his community. Not his prophet, look, pay attention.

He will be of his community. Why not his prophet? Because he was a prophet. (?) still a prophet. But since the duty of prophethood to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), there is a point here.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) is the last prophet. He is the Seal of the Prophets. Since no prophet will come after him, he cannot come prophet he cannot come. He will come as one of the community of Muhammad (peace be upon him).

And together they will spread the religion of Islam. Forty years. They too will die. So: after I died, You were the observer over them. Because its meaning too is: Allah Almighty, hüvel evvelü vel ahiru ve zahiru vel batın. He is the Owner of the realms of the first and the last, the outward and the inward. The verses are all gathered together.

You are the One who sees all things truly, it says. Because He is present and watching everywhere. Allah has not created anything He created outside His sight. He did not create it outside His rule. Had He created outside His rule, if in these seven realms, one of His creations in the seven realms suffered, Allah Almighty would not be in a state of completeness and perfection. He would be lacking. He is compassionate toward His creations, it says. Present and watching everywhere, and this verse proves that He is present and watching beside all His creations. Sustenance is upon Allah. Yes. If you don't know the verses, you can't reinforce these things.

That's how it is.

Our child Ayzanur says: Hodja, peace be upon you. I kiss your blessed hands. Today my friend sent me a prayer. Called the Forty Locks Prayer. You know, I laugh at these things.

Listen very carefully to these words of mine. And keep them in your ear like an earring. Fabricators, liars, the conscienceless, who say "I'm a hodja" but know nothing of being one, who speak a mouthful or two of Arabic without knowing its meaning, exploiters of conscience, by putting out such things, present themselves to people: look, the hodja said so, and if by chance what he said is within that person's destiny, ooh, look, I said this prayer and this happened, he says. Now we come to our topic. Don't believe the words of such people. Look, now I will read you a verse from a surah here. Listen well to it.

It answers the words I'm about to say.

Now write it here,

let's see.

What did I say a moment ago? I said: if by chance this prayer or this verse he said is within the person's destiny and it came about, look, I said it, the hodja said it, what a great scholar, how wonderful, he says, and spreads it around; he has spread superstition, spread superstition. Now I'll read you a verse, listen well.

Satan says to Allah Almighty: I will sit on Your path, I will turn Your servants who come to You toward myself. And Allah Almighty says: whoever follows you, take them, I've given them to you. Now look at the verse, the verse. Indeed Iblis proved his assumption about them true, it says. Assumption, assumption; these exploiters of conscience, by reciting these verses, by reciting these prayers, exploit people's conscience. La gaybıyla Allah: it puts its finger on that unseen.

These are tricksters. These are lying people.

What more can I say about them? Allah states His verses. Indeed Iblis proved his assumption about them true. If with these verses man is outside destiny, if whatever he wants happens, then why did Allah send us here to be tested? Why did He tell us of the unseen? The realm of the unseen. He closed it off. You don't know that realm. Here you are now playing the script of the covenant you gave, of destiny. Don't believe these tricksters. Keep it in your ear. He can't even say read it to you, but let me read what this trickster tells. Let me see what he said. But you make your prayer to Allah Almighty like this: O O Lord, You do not load people with a burden they cannot carry, You give the greatest trials to those of high rank. The Prophet's (peace be upon him) feet bled in Ta'if; they stoned him, at the House of Allah they threw animal entrails on him; the greatest hardships were borne by the Prophet.

Still: my Lord, this is my situation. He did not say destroy them. Nor did he say don't make me live such a world.

What did he say? He always wished for good. He always wished good for people. Yes. Called the Forty Locks Prayer. Forty locks. And the prayer even has a name. I know from your lessons too that verses are above prayers. It's above the verses. Verses are above prayers. Ayzanur, I never said such a thing. There is nothing above the verse. Above the verse there could only be Allah, only an Allah above it. Since there is no Allah above Allah, man's prayer cannot be above the verse. Why not? Look, I explained it here before. That is, we know ourselves. We know what we say. Even if forty foul years pass, we speak the truth.

With us there is no superstition. With us there is no speaking from our own minds. With us there is speaking with Allah's verse. Yes. At first I didn't care, but this prayer she mentions is a combination of forty verses I looked at. When she read it, extraordinary changes happened in her life.

However, the one who looks into prayers, however, the whole family of the one who looks into prayers is in turmoil. To her, this is things coming unlocked, unlocked. Good, a good thing apparently. I didn't dare to read it. Frankly, maybe knots I don't want undone will come undone, I don't know. Are there such things, Hodja? Or does man attract what he wants to believe? May I tell you these 40 verses? Could you look whether they have anything to do with unlocking locks? May Allah be pleased with you. There is no such thing, my child. If Allah had locks opened with this — look, use your head, use your reason here.

Allah, every person, in the address Alastu bi-Rabbikum, in Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172 wrote each person's desire and wish into their destiny, and He sent man to the world so that he plays his script himself and proves what kind of person he is; if he came here for that destiny, then according to this verse too: did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you are? According to that verse too, unaware of that, the script in which we had our own nature written, with the characters written in our nature and destiny, together with our desire and wish, Allah Almighty creates events according to our wish, and by what we do in the face of these events we earn reward or sin.

As you say, or as that exploiter of conscience, that traitor, says — but I don't believe a Muslim would say such a thing. This is a Jewish fabrication. The Jewish fabrication says: read this prayer so many times, have ten people read it, see what happens two hours later. Yet nothing happens two hours later. Because destiny doesn't change. So why does it tell you this? When it doesn't happen after two hours: look, you said it, your prayer didn't work, Allah didn't grant your prayer, or Allah doesn't exist, He shut you out. Its aims are these: to belittle Allah, to push Allah away from people, to bring Allah down to man's level.

These are that Jew's fabrications. Forty locks, they call it. Do you think the verses are given as the Quran's verses, as their true meaning, as a translation? Aydın's daughter. These are all Jewish, mostly Jewish fabricated words. They can't meddle with the Quran's verses, except those. Their translations are 99% fabricated. People are protected from these fabrications by their faith anyway. Yes.

She says it again: Hodja, called the 40 Locks Prayer, I know from your lessons that verses are above prayers; she's written the same again. Verses, verses — what does it say? Today friends showed me a prayer, and I know from your lessons that verses are above prayers. She's right; so I must have read that wrongly here. I thought prayers were above verses. But let me look at the earlier one, let me see what it says.

I know from your lessons that verses are above prayers. She's right. I misunderstood. I thought those prayers were above the verses. You're right, but the others are right too. If one of these turns out true, look what I said here, Aydınlar, my child, I'm reading you a verse too. Indeed Iblis proved his assumption about them true. That is, Iblis didn't say this knowingly. He didn't say knowingly that he'd sit in front of Your servants and turn them to himself. He said it as a guess. So he cannot know the unseen. We cannot know the unseen either. But from the unseen, Allah informs His saints of some things that will happen.

And that is the saint's miracle. That's all.

What does it say here now? Indeed Iblis proved his assumption about them true. This assumption is very important here. He didn't say this assumption knowingly, it says. All except the believers followed him, it says. Who are the believers? Those who have risen to the nafs al-mutma'inna, the soul at peace. Surah Al-Fajr, verses 27-30. O soul at peace! Pleased with your Lord and your Lord pleased with you, enter among My servants, enter My Paradise — the people to whom He says this.

Our child goes on here.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. İnnâ fetahnâ leke fethan mübînâ. Twice. Surah Al-Fath, verse one. Two. Selamün aleyküm tıbtüm fedhuluha halidin, fedhuluha, fedhuluha halidin. Surah Az-Zumar, verse 73. Lekad caeküm resulüm min enfüsiküm. She puts this, she puts these parts. Delete these, to no one to no one, and think of the sins you'd incur through them, understood? From now on, push such things away and pay them no heed. You are a person of faith. But of our religion, although your faith drives you to live our religion, such faithful people believe a lot in superstitions. Because they are simple people, pure people.

And they take their hodjas for real hodjas. A hodja, a hodja who knows himself, wouldn't say this. I told you what the Jew says. Don't fall into that game. If you say this verse so many times, or if you do these things like this, you'll surely get this thing done. Come on, does this change destiny? Read as much as you like. Will it change your destiny? It won't. Then, since these fulfil everything you want, right, then why did Allah Almighty seal the hearts of the disbelievers, those people? Because they wanted it so. He denied Allah. Whoever denies Allah, even if he returned to the world, in the end he would still deny.

He won't turn. Because the heart is sealed that way. Hatemallâhu alâ kulûbihim ve alâ sem'ihim ve alâ ebsârihim gışâveh, ve lehüm azâbün azîm. They interpret this wrongly too. So what do the verses say? Allah sealed, it says. Well, the one who seals is Allah. But how did He seal? Look, pay attention. The one who seals is again Allah. When they denied Allah, Allah Almighty said: though I am your Lord, do you deny Me? Are you waiting for another god? Yes, they say. Another god. We don't recognize You. Why does He say this? So we told you this is a secret. I am revealing it to you. Because Allah Almighty appeared in human form, out of their pride and arrogance, it says.

This is the verse now too. Out of pride and arrogance they denied Me, it says. They waited for the Lord of their imagination. We, it says, could have sent angels down from the sky and made them prostrate. But We left them free in their own will, it says. Free. So because they did not believe that way in Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty created this realm. With a second creation He put us into the garment of the body. Here He worked the destiny we had given into us as characters. The deeds we did with the desires and wishes we kindled became our rewards and sins. Did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you are?

According to this verse, we prove what kind of person we are. What does this prove? Allah is free of all deficient attributes. You won't be able to say: if You had sent me to a realm where Your Essence isn't seen, look how I would have worshipped You there. Here, read Surah Ta-Ha, verse 134. Yes.

Delete this. Delete these writings, my child Ayzanur. Otherwise you'll fall into sin. I don't know how it's deleted from here, but can you delete this from here? The moderators delete it, Hodja. The moderators delete that. Yes. We can't delete it.

Süleyman Misafir says: Süleyman, as-salamu alaykum, Hodja, could you explain An-Naml 82, I kiss your hands. Surah An-Naml, let's open it, Süleyman Efendi, yes. Süleyman, An-Naml 82. When

the word comes upon them, when the Hour draws near, We will bring out for them a dabbah, a creature, from the earth, it says.

It will tell them that people did not have certain faith in Our verses, it says. At this sign of the Hour, at the Hour, a ... a dabbah, a living being will come out. It will know from the forehead who is Muslim and who is a disbeliever, they say. So they say. It will recognize them by the forehead. And on that forehead: you have not believed. To people on whom the light of faith isn't written, it will say: you did not believe. One more verse. You cannot turn the blind from their error and guide them, it says. Who are the blind? The living dead. Who is the living dead? He hears the verses, his ear is blocked, he doesn't understand.

He sees with his eyes, there's a veil over his eyes, he doesn't want to see, he turns to denial. His heart is sealed, he rebels against his Lord. These are the living dead. You cannot guide them; you can only make those who believe in Our verses and submit hear the voice, it says. Even if you play drum and pipe beside the living dead, he won't hear. Who hears? Only those concerned with it hear. Yes. There is much to say here. There are many verses too. They were blind in the world. In the hereafter they are even more astray, it will say. Even more blind. They will say: we could see in the world.

Why are we blind here? People think from such verses that they will be resurrected blind there. Man will not be resurrected blind. He'll be blind though he sees. Look, Allah Almighty will say: I created you in the realm of Lahut. I said I am your Lord. You didn't believe. In Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172, I said: I am your Lord. We agreed. You didn't believe. I sent you to a realm where I am not seen, where My Essence is not seen. There you didn't believe. You came here. You still do not believe. Because I know the secrets of your heart, He says. If you're not blind, what are you, He says to you. Well, what are you? How much blinder can one be?

Yes. Ha. When the word comes upon them, when the Hour draws near, it says. That word, that is, those who say: when will the Hour come? That word, it says. When it comes upon them. That is, when the Hour begins to come. We bring out for them a dabbah, a creature, from the earth, and it tells them that people did not have certain faith in Our verses, it says. Here it's just this much; that is, Allah Almighty tries to show His existence to people. But blind, blind from birth. How would he know what the sun is? He doesn't. Yes. Now a proverb, something like a riddle, comes to my mind.

A man from Bayburt had never seen the sea. He gets in a car. When he reaches Trabzon, from up on the mountaintops he sees the waves in the sea.

He says: look how many sheep there are here. He takes those foams, those foams, for sheep. The man next to him realizes he has never seen the sea. Those, he says, are the foam of the waves in the sea. What is this sea you speak of, he asks. The ocean, he says. The Atlantic Ocean, I mean there are big oceans, seas, he says. Bodies of water, he says. Wow, he says, by my uncle's cauldron this water comes to forty, maybe forty and a half.

These people are like that too.

When will the Hour come? He doesn't believe. He'll believe when it comes upon him. We bring out for them a dabbah, a creature, from the earth, and it tells them that people did not have certain faith in Our verses. We don't know what this dabbah is like either, but then they'll say this. That light of faith will shine on people's foreheads. It will understand that they are Muslim. To those who aren't Muslim, this dabbah will say: you have not believed. Yes. On that day We gather from every community a group of those who called Our verses lies, and they are driven together to the place of reckoning.

This is in the hereafter. This is in the hereafter. Yes. Finally, when they come to the reckoning, Allah says: You called My verses lies without grasping what they are. Is that so? If not, what was it you did, He says. No answer at all.

Yes. Süleyman.

And that dabbah, at the end of the world, as the Hour comes, a moment before it comes, will come out in a body. That is, now the Hour is coming. It's making it say: believe now, that is. They will still deny.

As-salamu alaykum, Hodja.

This is Süleyman.

Mustafa Hacıoğlu: Hodja, Al-Mu'min, verse fifty, he says. Surah Al-Mu'min. Let's look at Surah Al-Mu'min. Sir. The surah. Al-Mu'min.

Al-Mu'min. Surah Al-Mu'min. There is also Al-Mu'minun. Since you wrote Al-Mu'min here, you'll look at verse fifty of Al-Mu'min.

The keepers say: did your prophets not bring you clear proofs, it says. The Hour will come. However long we lay under the earth, then Israfil will blow the Trumpet, and after that we will be called to account. After being called to account and going to Paradise and Hell, is He now saying this to the people of Hell? To the people of Hell. The keepers, he said, the keepers of Hell. Its keeper. Did your prophets not bring you clear proofs? they say. They answer: they did. In Hell. The keepers then say: so plead yourselves. Yet the pleading of the disbelievers is in vain, it says. Why is it in vain?

Because they don't recognize Allah as Allah at all. There, as the punishment grows, people's hatred of Allah will grow. And as long as their hatred grows, they will stay there. If, burning there, they dropped their hatred and said: yes, this truly is my Allah who created me, would you find Allah's wrath to have surpassed His mercy? His mercy has surpassed His wrath. He would remove Hell. Hell. But they will hate Allah forever. The imagined Allah they worship will come. They will take revenge on this Allah. That's why Allah says: these are not ones who will plead anymore. That is, they won't come to know. They won't come to know Me.

Yet their pleading is in vain. Because they will no longer believe in Me, He says. For example, can you change water?

Water has a composition. Two hydrogen, one oxygen. Unless this oxygen separates, water's property as water doesn't go away. Likewise, with those properties, those who have taken on the eternal disbeliever's property, taken the stamp — since their properties will never separate again, will never separate by their own will, they remain there forever. And since our Lord knows this, they are there forever, He says.

Süleyman Misafir says: blessed talks, respects, I kiss your blessed hands, may Allah be pleased with you, sir. Ayzanur says: Hodja, I have another question. Ask, let's see, Ayzanur. We do some lessons, we mention the names of great persons, then a hundred Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, a hundred Astaghfirullah and so on. While doing these lessons, there isn't always a bond between tongue, heart and mind. While doing these lessons, there isn't always a bond between tongue and heart. The mind is elsewhere, the tongue says it but the heart doesn't feel it; then can we not benefit from these recitations?

Another question is this. On the live broadcast, after you finish the lesson and recite Al-Fatiha, you blow into your hands and wipe your face. What is the wisdom of this? May Allah be pleased with you. Now there are three questions here. Let's answer all three questions. We do some lessons. We mention the names of great persons. Yes. You don't mention the great persons' names first. First you say: Destur ya Allah, permission, O Allah. And three times. Then Destur ya Rasulallah; you ask their permission. Then, to the sheikh who set you on this path to reform your nafs and bring you closer to your Lord, you mention your sheikh.

You ask his permission too. Destur ya Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gilani, or Destur ya Sheikh Sayyid Ahmad ar-Rifa'i. Look, you remember them too. You do the lessons they taught you. It sets you on a certain path. These are your teachers. Won't you show respect to your teacher? Won't you ask your teacher's permission?

Then she says: I do so many Bismillahs, so many Astaghfirullahs, as required. Between heart and tongue, she says, some bonds break, she says. They do break. You can't fully give yourself to it and lose yourself. What you did in the world comes to mind. If more than fifty percent of it you do remembering Allah, you'll find the reward of your dhikr. What will you find? Allah Almighty — you'll see He shows you the Prophet. How beautiful. Your zeal increases. Then after the Prophet, He begins to take you through the realms. Even more beautiful. Your zeal increases. Then you see the realm of Malakut.

Then from there you rise higher. These happen through your remembering Allah with your heart and binding your heart to Allah with purity. But step by step. At first you can't experience this all at once. Slowly. You can't drink a bucket of water at once. But you drink it slowly. Yes. You drink it over time. It's the same here. Another question of mine: on the live broadcast, after you finish the lesson and recite Al-Fatiha, you blow into your hands and wipe your face. What is the wisdom of this? May Allah be pleased with you. Look, now I'll show you. What does doing this with our hands indicate?

Huh? You probably know. Do you know the fly? The ordinary housefly. With its hind leg it strokes its two wings like this. Then it rubs its two hands together, its two feet together. The fly has poison in one wing and antidote in the other wing. So, the germs on the fly. That creature takes poison from there, and with the antidote it destroys those germs. You too, by rubbing your two hands like this, kill the germs on your hands. Then you wipe your face. What do these moustaches, these beards on your face signify? What do the hairs in your nose, the hairs in your ears signify? What do the lashes of your eyes, the brows right where you see, signify?

They either attract germs or repel them. So when you bring your hand to your face, they kill those germs there and make you perfectly clean. That is, they cleanse you of germs.

Why do men grow moustaches and beards? Because he works outside. The woman is at home. Women work outside too. But even if the woman works, the woman's nature is different.

Because woman completes man, and man completes woman, so there will be love and affection between them. A woman's feelings will see the man with a beard or moustache.

It can be without a beard too. But the man doesn't see the woman bearded. He will see her without moustache and beard, and love her.

Because man's feelings are different, and woman's feelings for man are different. These feelings complete each other. That is why a woman's flesh is different, though it's the same flesh. A man's flesh is different. Take an animal. The back meat is different. The leg meat is different. The breast meat is different. That is meat, that is meat. The kidney is meat too, it's different. The liver is meat too, it's different. All created differently.

I hope you could understand.

It's beautiful, though. One will learn about man.

Let's see if there's anything else. İhvan Misafir says: as-salamu alaykum, Hodja. I kiss your hands. Is the eighth Qutb in the world right now? Is there anyone following him? May Allah be pleased with you. By Allah, I never say anything I don't know from my own mind. If I know, I say it. What I say is either what I've seen or what my Lord has made known to me. And what I see, my Lord makes known anyway. Those I say. I can't know when he'll come.

Ömer Sefa says: since in Istanbul the evening adhan coincides with our lesson time, our lesson will start 10 minutes later. Good evening, he says. That's right. Selim 705 Üye says: as-salamu alaykum, sir. With respect to your blessed hands, sir. My question: page 334, Surah Al-Hajj, verse 26. Let's see. Surah Al-Hajj, verse 26. Skip this. Skip. Surah Al-Hajj. Verse 26. This is a wrongly explained verse.

Let's read the wrong one. Let's see where it's wrong. Once We prepared for Abraham the site of the House of Allah and said to him: Do not associate anything with Me. Keep My House clean for those who circle it, who stand in worship, who bow and prostrate. Yes. Now what does it say here, pay attention. Once We prepared for Abraham the site of the House of Allah and said to him this. What does it say? Do not associate anything with Me. Yet it isn't like that here. Look, the correct one: remember the time when We prepared for Abraham a station at the site of the Noble House, it says. That's why when you circle, a circling is seven rounds, a tawaf. And at the Station of Abraham we pray two rak'ahs. According to the verse, what does it say?

We prepared a station at the site of the Noble House. That's it. And We said to him: Do not associate anything with Me. Keep My House clean for those who circle it, who stand in worship, who bow and prostrate, it says.

Yes.

Now, according to this last word, according to the last word, the words "keep My House clean" — I am a grandson of Abraham. I come from him, from his lineage. From father to father. It passes down to me. But there is a secret here; I'm not obliged to tell it to you.

Because people misunderstand a lot. They can't bear what I say. Yes.

As-salamu alaykum, sir. I kiss your blessed hands with respect. My question: page 77, Surah An-Nisa, verse 7. Can you work it out? Surah An-Nisa, verse 7.

An-Nisa. This.

From what parents and relatives leave behind, men have a share, it says.

Here it speaks of dividing an inheritance. Whether it's left by your mother or your father, men have a share, it says. Why does it say it like this? Because compared to women, men take less, they take half. A man takes one, a man two, a woman one. In this respect men take one of their shares, it says, look, there is a share. From what parents and relatives leave behind, women too have a share, it says. From what parents leave behind, women too have a share. But what is this share like? This needs explaining. They have a share too. That is, they do not exclude them, it says. They take their shares too.

Whether little or much, a definite portion is set aside, you see? Whether little or much. The more to men, the less to women. Why? Is Allah being unjust here? Why one to women and two to men? Because the man will keep the father's hearth going. When a woman goes to a husband, when her husband divorces her, she'll come to her father's house. She has a share there. She'll come there. Well, what if she doesn't come? Will the share become a gift? Yes. It doesn't become a gift. That woman receives from her husband. She receives her mahr. She has a child. Her child is obliged to look after her. See how beautiful. But who will look after the man?

That's why Allah is just. Man two, woman one. But the civil code has made them equal. If you don't accept this law, you can go to the countries that live by this law. Of necessity, in a state you live in, you're obliged to obey this law called the civil code. Unless you leave, you're bound to apply it. But what did you do, Hodja? What does "but" mean? Explain it to us.

My wife had land left from her father. They're eight siblings. Of the eight siblings, four are men and four are women. Now we divided it into twelve. The land. One twelfth of a plot of eight and a half decares. One twelfth, 800 square metres? 750 square metres? That's what falls to them. That falls to her. I set that much aside. I asked my wife: does she accept? Of course, she said. We are people who trust our Lord. I took its 750 square metres. Now what did I do for the hereafter? When you divide it, there's a tip part like this. It goes like this, narrows here like this. They said: here this goes to waste for the kids.

You take this too, they said. Let's take it. So they don't lose out. What shall we do? Shall we round it up to one decare? Round it up, they said. How much per square metre? This much. What did it come to? We paid this much money. Still, we left it to them.

We left it to them. What happened in the end? We bought that part. They sold it for money. When they sold, the kids bought it. Even though they'd paid for that part, they paid money again. They bought those parts. Yes.

So what does verse 7 say?

Yes. This is the matter of inheritance: the shares children receive from the inheritance their parents leave. The civil code makes it equal; Allah's law says two for men, one for women. Yes.

Selim 705 Üye says:

Surah Al-Ankabut, verse 62, he says, Al-Ankabut.

Which verse? Verse 62. This too is a wrongly explained verse. Allah gives provision abundantly to whomever He wills of His servants. If Allah is going to give provision abundantly to whomever He wills of His servants, why did Allah give man will? Why did He want His Essence to be known through man's will? Then Allah would have begun distributing among His servants arbitrarily. They've explained it all wrong. Wouldn't you say: that man lives in plenty, maybe I'd have done a thousand, a hundred thousand times the worship he doesn't do, why didn't You give it to me? Wouldn't you? Well, everything was done and settled before. By before I mean in Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172, it was done and settled. You saw these realms, He showed you. The feelings you felt in these realms became your character. According to those characters your intention began to desire. If you desired, Allah created it. You have proven yourself. How beautiful, what justice. But do you know, those who don't know these things, poor people, have explained verses as they saw fit.

They have given Allah attributes.

He restricts for whomever He wills, it says. Surely Allah knows all things fully, it says. We read the correct one. Look: Allah gives provision abundantly to whoever of His servants wishes. And restricts for whoever wishes. Surely Allah knows all things fully. Everyone acts according to their own character, their own feelings. And Allah, since that person will live that feeling here, that life, with his feelings from there, and since he wanted this realm with that feeling, and since He knows that when he wanted this realm with that feeling he can bring about his own desire and wish here in the best way with a fine peace, Allah Almighty has left him free in his own will.

A free will. If Allah removed that person's free will from him and worked His own will upon man, then what would Allah Almighty want from man? That's in fact what they say. Those scholars, you know, the very learned ones with doctorates, do you know what they say? This is where they go wrong.

Man is Allah's. When He removes a person's will from him, eh, He doesn't count it, they say. When that will is removed from that person, what happens? Allah makes him act on command. If He wants, He has him kill, has him murder someone. If He wants, He makes him fall into disbelief. Then He gives the will back to him. Why did you do this, He says. Come on! Can there be such an Allah?

Does the will get removed from man and this not be counted?

Oh, it tears me apart right here, right here. They explain verses — verses, my foot, verses.

Whoever, saying Allah said so, says Allah said what Allah did not say, let him prepare his place in the punishment, it says. Yes.

Yes.

There are three more here. Shall we leave these? We're tired. The prayer was recited, the call to prayer happened too.

Bayramiye this your Surah Al-Anfal, verse twelve. Then Al-Anfal verse 16, and again Bayramiye. Sir, I kiss your blessed eyes. My question: what is the virtue of the Hajj al-Akbar? What is the virtue of the Hajj al-Akbar? Could you explain? May Allah be pleased with you, sir, she says. We, I have grown old too. Ask more questions from now on, though. These three questions next week, if Allah wills. Okay, agreed? Well, as-salamu alaykum. Be entrusted to Allah. I had an electric shock to my heart too. Now my breath has begun to fail. I can hardly speak anymore. Stay well. Be entrusted to Allah.
