Al-Furqan 66: Verily, it is a bad place of dwelling.

Surah Al-Furqan, the 66th verse. How evil a place it is indeed to settle and to dwell, it says. How evil. In this passing worldly realm, if one looks at Twitter, if we look at what is found on the internet, in many places, on yachts, on pleasure trips at sea, the people called stars, as stars of Hell is how we imagine them, stars of Hell. But in the eyes of people who, following their carnal feelings, have made Satan their guide, they are the stars of the world.

In this world, when night ends and morning comes, you see the stars go out. When night comes, the stars come out again. These too are stars of the night. stars of the night in this world. In that case, for you to be a star of this eternal realm, you need to be bound by Allah's commands, so as not to go to that so evil place of return, that so evil bed, that place of return. Now, Hodja, we are actors. Actors. We are artists. When you say that, your being an actor is right. You are an actor. In my view, an actor of what? You are the one playing here the script of the covenant you made at the call "Elestü bi-rabbiküm", you are that actor.

And of that actor, of the play he has played, you are the artist. Because if Allah Almighty says, cover your private parts, and one does not cover up; when He says, do not commit zina, this whatever kind of star this is,

if they sleep around with this one and that one, take this one and that one as a friend and amuse their heart with that friend,

today I am reading an article on the internet, I won't say the name. One of the actresses is going to marry someone. This actress is getting, from many places,

offers, the person puts off getting married until next year. She puts off marrying the man of her dreams until next year. What does this mean? She will fulfil those offers as she pleases and earn the money. Then if they marry, they marry.

In our religion this is stoning. Stoning (?) it is the stick. If one is not married but commits zina, it is the stick. If it is a married person, it is stoning, if a man. Yes. I cannot call people who go against these verses stars. I can only call them stars of Hell.

Yes.

So let them forgive me, those star artists listening to me.

Whoever tells the truth is chased out of seven villages, as they say.

Yes, I told you about it a little earlier. Here too let me mention it: in the Prophet's hadith he says, avoid four things. Never do four things after me, he says. Do not change your path after me, he says.

Do not associate partners with the One Allah, he says. Do not take lives unjustly, he says.

Do not commit zina, he says. Do not lie, he says.

I wonder which of them we do and which we don't?

I cannot imagine a person who does not lie. And especially in our time, a person who does not commit zina is very rare, I mean very rare, rare.

Allah is patient; with His attribute of patience He waits. In this case, the person who follows his nafs and has made Satan his guide, the person who goes against Allah's command and pleases Satan:

I wonder, given that person who pleases Satan, what will Allah Almighty's judgement upon us be?

Can we think about this? In this case, if we have reached seventy percent in evil, in zina, in exposure, in carnal desire, in admiring non-Muslims, and we are running wild. In that case, if Allah Almighty gives us life for the sake of a handful of Muslims, then this, our hands, we need to take our heads between our hands and think about it. Otherwise, the verse is explicit: how evil a place it is indeed to settle and to dwell, it says. Do you know what the punishment of Hell is like? I have seen part of it. My Lord granted it to me. I entered Hell too. As it says in that verse, where those yellow sparks fly like mountains, it says.

Like the mouth of a cave, like tunnel mouths, even bigger. The Zabani angel seizes the sinner and puts him into that fire. You cannot see inside the fire. When you look, a pinkish, reddish, pinkish flame. A flame. It's not imagination, mind you. This is what I saw. Count five or six seconds. After five or six seconds, when he takes him out, the man is like coal, pitch black. The man lies face down. Face down. He leaves him like that, as if in prostration. Again 5-6 seconds, count, count to 5-6. The skin on top starts to crack. Indeed the verse says this. My Lord showed me that verse in its full meaning.

Exactly like soil left without water. Exactly; this world is the likeness and shadow of the hereafter. It cracks exactly like that. When I look, underneath, pure white skin. Pure white. Just like a snake shedding its skin, the skin on top falls off. When that skin begins to crack, I hear the person's moaning. You know, as this white shows from below, a moan like "birııı". When that skin falls off he comes to, and again he grabs him by the nape and throws him to the same place. The punishment continues. O Allah, protect us from such a punishment.

That is a place of permanent dwelling. My advice to you: however distressed you get in this world, however depressed you become, even if you are in the tightest spot, even if you are utterly swamped, from the heart rely on your Lord, ask Him for patience, never act rashly, and in Allah put your trust. Surely you will come through safely in the end. Yes.

So, while a small torment in this world is unbearable, in the hereafter, in a realm of eternal deathlessness, what an evil dwelling place Hell is. If people living in this world, during their lifetime, turn their backs on Allah's commands and prohibitions and deny Allah's right over people, then these people, deprived of Allah's mercy and meeting His wrath, have asked for that Hell of His which He calls such an evil place of return. What is Allah Almighty's right over people?

At the very least, it says, hajj once in a lifetime is His right over a person. Bathing once a week is, at the least, His right over a person. On Fridays, going to the sermon a bit early and listening to some advice. Yes.

He has many rights here, and we mentioned these.

A person must not be ungrateful.

In Surah Ar-Rahman, Allah Almighty says, which of the blessings Allah has given will you deny? You cannot finish counting Allah's blessings, He says. If Allah Almighty has brought us into the world, and has set the finest blessings of the world before us, and we, not seeing the One who gives this blessing, amid pleasure and enjoyment, the world, not nature, denying what Allah has created on the world, thinking that beings came to this state by changing form, and that the blessings of the world were given to them by chance, that there will be no resurrection after death: non-Muslims or polytheists; as for Muslims, knowingly they eat the blessing they eat but do not give thanks for it.

What is giving thanks? Allah fed me and gave me drink. In return for the blessing He gave me, what must I do?

I must fulfil my duty of servanthood. I must thank Him. Otherwise, if you do not fulfil your duty of servanthood to Him, if for the blessing He gave you do not thank Allah, you become ungrateful. You will have been ungrateful. you will have a rather hard time giving account for it. Why is this, in my view? If I give you something in trust, and you betray the trust,

well, wouldn't I ask you about what I entrusted to you? One day I'll grab you by the collar. Well, Allah Almighty feeds me and gives me drink. And what do we do for Him in return?

When we fatten our nafs and put 3-5 more kuruş in our pocket, toward the people who live in that country's prosperity, high society, calling ourselves high society, by falling into Satan's trap, uncovering ourselves and running loose. If uncovering and running loose is high society, then animals are more high society than us. Yes.

May Allah reform people of this mindset. Those who see a little money after poverty uncover themselves and run loose. High heels a span high. Tight trousers, and that isn't enough, they have slits. Leggings, and that isn't enough, to draw attention to herself, a short skirt. Bizarre situations. May Allah protect us.

Yes. So that is when, how evil a place indeed to settle and dwell, says Allah Almighty.

In another verse, Allah Almighty again says the following. Now, before reminding of this, before reminding of this verse, first we must act according to that verse's meaning.

I am very afraid of it, of that verse.

You, it says, if only there had been among you those who tell the truth, it says, doesn't it? If only there had been among you those who tell the truth,

I feel a little relief from this, but as to whether I have told it as it should be told or not, I greatly fear Allah. I try to tell of my Lord as much as is needed. If, according to this verse, there had been among you those who tell of the Lord, according to the verse "if only there had been", those who tell of our Lord according to the verses, today's situation would not have arisen.

Yes. Not only to the person who will be deserving of that verse is this. To everyone. What does it say? If only there had been among you those who would tell the truth, from among us: you are from among us, that one is from among us, that one too. If we had all told one another the truth, (?) this situation would not be.

All the prophets warned their communities of the Dajjal. O my community, the Dajjal will appear in your time, he says. He has appeared. What is it? Television. He will be one-eyed, he says, he will go around the world in 3-4 seconds, he says. Come on, television is a piece of metal, what does it have to do with the Dajjal? Look what it says now: all the prophets warned their communities of the Dajjal. Well, if all the prophets warned their communities of the Dajjal, did they lie?

Well, Hodja, what does this mean? The Dajjal: ill-intentioned people like Satan. Two-legged taghuts. These are the Dajjal. The Dajjal. He warned of them. They deceive you. They have become captives of Satan. These are hypocrites. These stir up rebellion. These cause fitna.

How well he warned of them like this. The Prophet too: the Dajjal will appear in your time. We see it now. Who are the Dajjal? We see.

He proves himself. On television. Now why? I said this. I gave the Dajjal as an example. Before the Dajjal appeared, that is, before television appeared, our fathers, whenever they came together, would always talk of Allah. They would always converse, conversation about Allah, no worldly talk. They would talk about their needs, and what is needed is clear anyway. They would always talk of Allah. The people of that time were like the saints of this time, like the saints of this time; even "like" is too much, saints. The people of that time had given their hearts to the Truth like this, people who would sit and listen to talk about the Truth.

When television came along, conversations in the family stopped, the Dajjal came into the home, immorality began, father and child in the same place, together with people kissing, with people committing zina, with carnal feelings they watch them.

Did the Prophet say something wrong? The Dajjal has appeared in our time. There is the Dajjal.

There is evil.

So shouldn't we watch television, Hodja? I watch too. Why should I lie? (?) I watch. I watch channel A, the news. The news. I don't look at the ads. When it goes to ads, if I have time, I watch documentaries, documentaries. I mean, to fill my time. I watch Kanal 24.

I don't watch any other channel. I mean, if I find time, I watch the news at the top of the hour. At the top of the hour. Well, you too have to be informed about the world. Watch the news.
