An-Nahl 98: When the Qur’an is read, seek refuge in Allah from the expelled Shaytan - Devil.

Surah An-Nahl, verse 98: when you read the Quran, seek refuge in Allah from the outcast Satan.

That is: Eûzü billâhi mine'ş-şeytâni'r-racîm — not Bismillâhi'r-Rahmâni 'r-Rahîm, it says. When starting to read. Seek refuge in Allah from the outcast Satan too, it says. Because he flows through a person's blood vessels and whispers.

They have deceived the poor Muslims.

Women who, while needing a hodja themselves, act as hodjas — I am a witness to this. Don't you dare say it. Why? Because Satan passes through it, she says. They have deceived them so well. This one acts as a hodja. A hodja.

May Allah protect us, and I'm distressed, really. I'm distressed.

What state are we in? Understand. How will you convey this truth to a person in this state? Ears closed, eyes veiled. How will you convey the truth to this one? There are pleasures in between, pleasures. A dry faith. They have taken on superstitions. The feelings of the nafs have risen to baseness.

Yes.

Is this what Islam is? As my master knows, I often come across it while explaining: you, they say, are corrupting our creed, they say. Yes, yes, that's what they say. When you speak the truth, they shut you out, saying you're corrupting our creed. What kind of creed is this? Creed in whom? You're right. I come across it too. They tell me too. Our creed is being corrupted. Yes, you're right, they say. Oh, man! Yes, you're right, they say. But our creed gets corrupted. What shall we do, they say.

And from you they run as if fleeing a calamity, a disaster about to befall them. Amazing, really.

Doesn't the hadith say: if knowledge is in China, go and get it?

Doesn't Allah Almighty say: the scholars hold fast to knowledge and find life? Amazing.

If that knowledge has not benefited you, the deeds you have done have gone to waste, it says. The worship you performed has gone to waste.

If knowledge hasn't benefited, that is, if you've become a non-Muslim, if with this knowledge you haven't found the truth — I don't (?) Islam, but the non-Muslims (?). Yes. May Allah grant us wakefulness with a sound mind and let us see the truth.

We are striving. Truly, we strive very hard. May Allah be pleased with them. Those around us also strive to make the truth heard by people. They make every effort they can.

Our effort never goes to waste. Hold fast to the rope of Allah, it says. If the unbelievers pull the rope from one side and the Muslims from the other, at least, even if the unbelievers pull the rope toward their side, that is, pull Islam to their side, Islam puts up resistance. Islam puts up resistance. What does this mean? It means that in our time it is not possible to warn these people. Except the people who will find the truth. Well, how will these people find the truth?

They will find it with the Mahdi.

There will be war again. After that war, people will return to Allah again. For forty years, it says, the wolf and the lamb will graze side by side. That is, there will be rule by justice. Forty years later, when the Mahdi and Jesus pass on to the hereafter again, the world will speed to its end in forty more years, it says. Yes. So the duty that falls on us is both to keep the truth alive ourselves and to tell our children the truth, and, to those around us, by the language of conduct and the language of words, to show them that Islam is a religion in the most beautiful way — for that, to watch our conduct and actions, our attitudes.

Yes.

Do not compromise the religion of Islam with words that please people, just so they like it.

Do not, to earn a few pennies for worldly things, bow your necks in the direction they want. If you do this, you will see neither the blessing of the sum you take, nor its good. Nor will you escape your troubles.

Yes.

What does it say? When the Quran is read, seek refuge in Allah from that outcast Satan, it says.

Satan was created from a pure fire. When it says a pure fire — min mâricin min nâr — a pure fire: if Allah Almighty had said back then, it was created within frequencies — a pure fire. Electric current is a pure fire, isn't it? Nobody would understand this, you see. Allah Almighty's word is a miracle. Miracles are secrets solved over time. When it says a pure fire: that He created it within frequencies. For example, when we tune long wave, Ankara Radio on long wave, to that frequency, if it plays, we say the broadcast is on. If it doesn't play, we say the broadcast is off, right? The jinn too were created within frequencies like this.

If on that frequency you find the (?), on their frequencies the (?) is alive. If there is no (?) on that frequency, it dies. Since they were created within frequencies, the Prophet says they travel around the world in 3 or 4 steps. There: they travel around the world in 3 or 4 seconds. Isn't this the same? Doesn't it travel around the world in 3 or 4 seconds? It does. Things created, made within frequencies. So, since they recognize neither matter nor meaning, that is, since they don't recognize matter, they can work from every side. So, when you read the Quran, seek refuge in Allah from the outcast Satan, it says.

Satan was created from a pure fire. This fire called pure: in today's language, within electric frequencies they were created. Just as these frequencies leave no place in the human body untraveled, don't they? Don't they pass through? Now if you put a radio in your belly there, or if it were possible like this and you threw it in, couldn't you watch the television? You would watch it even inside the heart. In the same way, it circulates everywhere in you, in your blood vessels. Satan is like that too. He circulates through the blood vessels of the human body and whispers temptations to a person. Especially to someone who reads the Quran or intends to, he says: not now, you'll read it later.

If he doesn't succeed in this, he sends a two-legged Satan of his own kind to him. If he doesn't succeed in that either, he gives the person a heaviness. He keeps the person from reading the Quran. So Allah Almighty says: so as not to become a target of such temptations of Satan while you read the Quran, seek refuge in Allah from the evil of the outcast Satan. That is, say it. Then mention Allah's name. Say Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. And read the Holy Quran with Allah's name. Then, with peace and reverence in your heart, surrendering yourself to your Lord, as if Allah Almighty were before you and you were reading the Holy Quran to Allah Almighty, you are taken by such a peace.

(?) Allah Almighty, or it is as if Allah Almighty were reading and you were listening. So the Quran carries a person from realm to realm. Though the human body is in its great realm, our spirit, which we call the realm of the heart, since it knows no matter and meaning, wanders through the realms as far as Allah permits. As it sets out to discover. It makes you live with those feelings. Sometimes you cry, sometimes you laugh. Yes.

While reading the Quran, you wish it would never end. But when the body's needs, a person's responsibilities, bring him back to himself, and he stops reading and gets up, it is as if from a colorful and mighty realm into a flat and monotonous realm you had taken a step. That is, from a great zeal, from peace, from a great spiritual realm like that, it is as if you had come, forsaken and alone, into an outward realm.

It is as if you had been left alone.

May Allah Almighty grant us all to read the Holy Quran like this, he has said.
