There is a beauty, a profoundness, a delightfulness in the gaze of those whose hearts are with God. But the gaze of those whose hearts are careless and distant from God gives their true nature away. Almighty God informs us about this in the verse of the Quran: "If We wished, We would show them to you and you would know them by their mark.." What God refers to here by mark is their gaze. The reason behind their purposeless gazes is that their souls are hollow.
We love Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, but why do we love him? We love him because of his generosity, his devotion. Otherwise, what would be left behind? We love beloved brother Sungur [student of Said Nursi] for the suffering he went through. There are many other students of Said Nursi who we love dearly but we love them according to the sufferings they went through. We love less those who suffered less. We love more those who suffered more.
The Messenger of God had the honor to become who he was but the sufferings he went through were innumerable. Almighty God refers to Our Prophet (pbuh) as "My beloved one" as He loved him dearly. He loved Our Prophet because of his superiority.
When believers firmly adhere to the Quran, it is like sailing on an unsinkable and unswerving ship, they will never go astray.
Satan seeks to impede the mind. His most effective method to accomplish this is causing a sense of inertness. It can be readily seen in the eyes of many people. It causes an idle, dull look. Believers are like hawks. They will never give into such influence of satan.
Satan affects people in many various ways. Among these effects, one of the worst is the sense of inertness. Believers should counter it through their will and wisdom.
Those who abandon the path of Quran lose their sense of reason and judgment and ultimately, lose control. Believers will never allow satan to hatch such plots.
The main reason behind the troubles that plague the Islamic world is failure to comply with the Quran.
Turkey is not just another country. In the case of Turkey's separation, the Islamic Unity will fall apart. So will the unification of the Turkish world. We will never accept anything that will lead to this.
Lovelessness leads to malice. Lovelessness makes females and males unlovely. Vindictiveness, hatefulness and resentment give way to a lifeless appearance. The individual suffers the effects of this affliction personally, leading to his own ruin. In other words it is a self-destructive system.
The youth should open up their horizons. They should think more broadly and rationally. For once, their hearts should be receptive of love. This is a disorder. They should realize this and take drastic measures against it. "Why am I highly susceptible to anger, to lovelessness? Why am I fully closed to love?" they should ask themselves.
Islam is pure love. It is the name of the system that always favor the good and benefit of the people. Islam is the system that will carry people to the highest level of civilization.
Turkey is besieged by foreign powers. The press should be respectful in their criticism especially in such an atmosphere. There is only a handful of true Muslims; it is wrong to try to make them look like terrorists through slander.
Through national consciousness classes, the youth should be taught about the dangers of communism, Darwinism, fascism, as well as the concepts of violence, love, and compassion. Our national goals such as Turkish-Islamic Union should be told to the youth.
It is an evil system to complicate religion to the point of being impracticable, and devastating religion by creating a population unable to live it. However, God offers us a straightforward religion through the Quran, a religion that can be lived by all the communities. Bigots make people abandon it and adopt a religious conception that is impracticable and hellish instead.
They think that it is heroic to complicate Islam to the point of being impracticable. They want plenty of things to be rendered unlawful. Yet they don’t even refrain from committing the deeds declared unlawful by themselves. They say, "Otherwise everything would become lawful". That is the way Islam is; everything is lawful. Unlawful deeds are in the few. Such compulsion has no place in Islam. Prayers are quite easy to perform as well. Bigots are devastating the religion by complicating it.
We relish in worshiping God and performing prayer. How nice that prayer is a beauty that has been performed for thousands of years.
The Western countries are afraid of Turkey slipping into bigotry. If Turkey becomes modern, they will undoubtedly withdraw their support to PKK.
It is the Darwinist materialist education system that forces young women [of terrorist PKK] who do not even know how to hold a gun to detonate bombs.
Islam religion is promoted as a hell by those abiding by the traditionalist Orthodox Islamic conception. The religion they promote is like a system that is bent on clouding the mind, insight and foresight, destroying all its vital aspects, eliminating art, aesthetic and beauty, one that virtually despises happiness of people. It is a system that ruins people by turning them into schizophrenics. It is impossible for people to maintain a normal mental and physical health within the confines of the traditionalist Orthodox system.
Pious Jews are quite pleasant people. They love God dearly, have good morals, are honest, and devoted to God through a passionate love. How nice it is that they have been devoted to the Prophet Moses (pbuh), devoted the Torah for 3500 years.
