Al-Baqarah 262: For those who spend from their possessions for the path of Allah, who don’t mention (their action) insultingly and who don’t break the hearts of the poor, there is a truthful reward on the side of Allah. There is no fear for them, and they will not be saddened.

Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 262. Pay attention, as I said a moment ago, these are the verses that most need to be talked about. But I am afraid of speaking about them; because it is a verse, I speak anyway, because it is a verse. And God willing, from what I say, do not draw any share for my own self. For my own self. Is the Hodja perhaps carving it in his own favour, like the clogmaker's adze? Allah forbid. If I (?) the world to me, all its riches (?), if you said 'let it be yours', do not forget this verse: Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Say this: He says, even if all people turn away from you, even if everyone turns their back on you, say: Allah, the Owner of the heavens and the earth and the great Throne, is enough for me.

If I load the swamp of this fleeting world onto my back,

if I forget my Lord, I ruin both my world and my hereafter. Well, Hodja, wouldn't it be good if you had worldly means? I have not asked Allah for worldly things. If my Lord gives to me, I give to His servants.

I give to His servants.

That is why I spend it again in my Lord's way. If my Lord gives to me. But not by taking from people. His unknown doors are many. His treasure is so abundant (?). He gives. He gives to a person by ways that never cross a person's mind. We would have liked to set up a television, and on that television, for people, live broadcasts, talks at certain hours of the day. To show people documentaries about our Lord's miracles. Yes. There are also sites that show these. May Allah be pleased with them. But we wanted to explain to people beautifully the verses of this religion of Islam, of the Holy Quran, and to hold a light before them.

You'll see, my Lord's servants are many. Come, Hodja, here is this site, here, take this television. Not for me, but to spread Allah's knowledge, turn to it as you wish. If someone says so, he says, it comes about. This is Allah. It is given. And there we explain Allah's knowledge to people. And he too, in return for this verse, will have acted as a mujahid; he will have striven. What does He say? In verse 262, and there are more verses like this too. You know, in the talks too, these verses I never touched on. We said that when the time comes, we will explain it to people. But God willing, when we explain these beautifully, people will not say the Hodja Efendi is carving it in his own favour like the clogmaker's adze.

Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah and then do not reproach with it, who do not break the hearts of the poor: they have a special reward with Allah. There is no fear for them, nor will they grieve. Yes.

These will not grieve either. Allah Almighty will give them the station of intercession.

In that station of intercession they will also save those they love.

Allah who created the world,

Allah who created man,

Allah who gives man property and possessions, and man, as one in need of what Allah created, strives in the way of Allah and, lending to Allah what He created, builds up his hereafter: that person. A loan. He will lend to Allah. His own wealth.

Look at the greatness of our Lord. Who? Allah Almighty says they buy Paradise with their wealth and their lives. With their wealth and their lives. Property is Allah's; what does He say? The inheritance of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. Every soul shall taste death. And He says the inheritance of the heavens and the earth will remain to Allah. So Allah the Creator gave you this wealth. You strive for Allah. If you help Allah's religion, you become a special servant in Allah's hand. Do you know what He means by a special servant? You become one of the righteous servants. 'I have joined you to those righteous servants,' Allah Almighty.

Allah will give to you too and will make you content, He says. Neither a stain nor sorrow will touch your face. Yes. This is striving in the way of Allah.

These people, when they spend their wealth in the way of Allah, people who in return expect nothing from anyone, who ask their reward only from Allah: such people reach this state. Let us see what we have done with all of it.

Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah. These are those who do not tell anyone what they spent. That is, he gave money to Ahmet or Mehmet, or met his need. Who does not say 'look, I did this and that for him' and set up a dominion over him, who does not tell anyone about the good he did, yes. Those who do their good deeds in secret, (?) those who do not reproach anyone for the wealth they gave; that is, even if he does it in secret, when he needs something, when he wants a job done: '(?), yesterday I gave you this job, I brought you to this state.' (?) and the like; without belittling, you will turn your back and leave. You will swallow it like a blind well.

When a person's nafs has not reached maturity, you will not see their faults. You will lose it within yourself. And to guide them to the right path, you will warn them with Allah's verses.

Those who do not speak in a way that humiliates them, who, when giving the poor from their wealth, do not break their hearts, who speak sweet words: these, you see, have a special reward with Allah. And the special reward, the meaning: Allah Almighty has ranked every good deed in proportion to the good that people have done; He has graded them. Graded according to intention. So in the verse too, not to whomever Allah wills, but to whoever asks, in proportion to his sincerity, He multiplies it manifold. Yes. Every good deed has its own separate rank with Allah. And the ranks of good deeds done in this way are left to the decree of Allah Almighty.

Since such people have with Allah a reward far above their normal rewards, to those who act in every way and act in this way, they have a special reward with Allah Almighty, He says.

There is no fear for them, nor will they grieve, says Allah Almighty. From this the meaning comes out that people who act in this way, that is, those who serve Allah's religion, who strive for Allah, who have Quran courses and mosques built, who feed and protect the orphan, the poor and the captive for Allah, who do not break people's hearts by speaking sweet words to the poor: it is hoped that such people are friends of Allah. For such friends of Allah, our Lord says, there is no fear for them. Allah Almighty Himself will welcome them with a smiling face in the hereafter. The reason: when such people attain Allah Almighty's blessings, they strive with their wealth and lives and spend their wealth in the way of Allah.

In return for their wealth, Allah has sold His Paradise to those people. In a verse, who buys Paradise with their lives and wealth: we said that when its turn comes, it will be explained in these verses. They will not grieve either. Since in the hereafter all their wishes are fulfilled and they will be given the station of intercession, such people will not grieve. Yes. The station of intercession. May Allah grant all of us the station of intercession. All of us. All of us.
