A9 TV , February 4th, 2012 ADNAN OKTAR: WHEN WE LOOK AT THE QUR’AN WE SEE THAT IT CONCENTRATES ON TWO MAIN ISSUES. ONE IS WEAKNESS OF FAITH, WEAKNESS OF FAITH IN PEOPLE, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF FAITH. THE SECOND IS ISLAMIC UNITY. This appears on every page of the Qur’an. They ask me to discuss jurisprudence. All right, I have discussed it. Let me talk about the five prayers in full detail, and ritual purification. Will you then pray because I have discussed it? Many hodjas in mosques do not even pray, unless it is essential to pray together in the mosque- as they would then lose their salaries. Most of them would not pray if it were not for the mosques, if they did not have to be at work in the mosques. Such people, and I am only referring to some people here, never perform the morning prayer if they go on holiday, for example. And they go to bed at the time of the evening prayer. They just pray in the afternoon, and that eases their minds. Those who listen to my words will admit the truth of what I say by nodding their heads. Many well-known scholars only pray when they have to. Things are not at all as you imagine. Very few of them perform all their prayers. BUT SOMEONE WHO ENJOYS THE FERVOR OF PRAYER, WHO POSSESSES A FAITH OF THE HEART AND OF THE MIND, WILL PRAY WITH THE GREATEST JOY AND ENTHUSIASM. THE AIM OF HIS LIFE WILL BE TO TELL PEOPLE OF ISLAMIC UNITY AND THE SIGNS LEADING TO FAITH, FOR ALLAH’S APPROVAL. THESE WILL BE THE MAIN ISSUES. FIRST, DISCUSSING THE MIRACLES OF THE QUR’AN FOR THE STRENGTHENING OF FAITH. THE SECOND CONDITION IS TALKING ABOUT THE LIFE OF OUR PROPHET (SAAS) AS THE SECOND PREREQUISITE. |
