00:00:00...it's cold, arrows are raining down from the sky like rain, but Medina is still standing.
00:00:06Remember that day, its name was Hendek, also known as Ahsab.
00:00:12On the other side of the trench, tens of thousands of enemies, incited by the people of Khaybar, stood.
00:00:19There are three thousand Muslims on this side.
00:00:23Commander-in-Chief, the Noble Messenger of God,
00:00:25The leader of the polytheists was Abu Sufyan, and his two factions were from the Gatafan tribe, Fezare and Murra.
00:00:33They will also have a commander from among themselves.
00:00:37Remember that day, Zayd ibn Haritha, the standard-bearer of the emigrants.
00:00:44The standard-bearer of the Ansar was Sa'd ibn Ubadah, and the commander-in-chief was the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
00:00:50These are the parties involved in Hendek.
00:00:52There is another side to this war.
00:00:55The sky army, its standard-bearer, waves in the morning wind.
00:01:01They recognize only the Messenger of Allah on earth.
00:01:05Now their eyes are on the archangel, and they are waiting for the moment of landing.
00:01:12Yes, remember that day, a dark and stormy night,
00:01:16It is winter, the night is cold, and arrows are raining down from the sky like rain.
00:01:21Medina stands ablaze, one of the blades of grass falling down targeting Sa'd ibn Muaz, severing the main artery in his wrist.
00:01:30Amr bin Abdüved, one of the polytheists, crossed the trench with his men and challenged the Companions three times.
00:01:40If there is anyone among you who wants to go to heaven through my hand, let them come forward.
00:01:45In all three instances, حضرت Ali rises from his place.
00:01:49In all three cases, our Prophet holds their hands.
00:01:54Finally, he puts on the armor with his own hands,
00:01:58The famous Zulfiqar sword that he himself fastened to his belt.
00:02:03And he takes off his blessed turban and ties it on the head of حضرت Ali.
00:02:09The lion of Allah marches against the enemy,
00:02:12A heartfelt prayer from the beloved Prophet ascends to the heavens.
00:02:17Oh Lord!
00:02:19My uncle's son, Ubayda, was martyred at the Battle of Badr.
00:02:24My uncle Hamza was at Uhud.
00:02:27Only one cousin, Ali, is left.
00:02:30Help him.
00:02:32Protect it.
00:02:34Don't leave me alone either.
00:02:37As soon as the Prophet's prayer ended, a cloud of dust appeared.
00:02:41The lion of God has disappeared.
00:02:43And Amr!
00:02:44Neither of them is visible.
00:02:46The clash of swords, shouts.
00:02:49The sounds suddenly stop, not long after.
00:02:52A dust cloud slowly dispersing.
00:02:55The image gradually emerges.
00:02:57First, Zulfiqar emerges from the dust cloud.
00:03:01Then the lion with its mane covered in dust.
00:03:04And roar, the son of a man!
00:03:07He roars, "Allahu Akbar!"
00:03:13The polytheists realize that this trench is absolutely impossible to cross.
00:03:18Then all the forces will gather, numbering in the tens of thousands.
00:03:23Armed with bows and arrows, they all attack at once.
00:03:29What a turbulent day it was.
00:03:32Their heads couldn't reach the knees in prostration for all four prayer times.
00:03:37What a dark night it was.
00:03:39You couldn't see it even if you reached out your hand.
00:03:43It was that dark.
00:03:46Here are some of the few polytheists who took advantage of this darkness.
00:03:50Nevfel bin Abdullah jumps over the ditch.
00:03:53But Hazrat Zubayr will also deserve that.
00:03:57And the feet.
00:04:00Trembling legs.
00:04:03There are those in the Prophet's army whose legs tremble.
00:04:07Hypocrites with trembling legs.
00:04:12Because he broke the covenant of Qurayza.
00:04:15Today was the day they were supposed to end the war and return home.
00:04:21Even the Prophet of God understands the hypocrites.
00:04:26Some Muslims are old.
00:04:29Their excuse was concern for their children.
00:04:32They each offered an excuse and returned.
00:04:35Back again.
00:04:37But hadn't they pledged allegiance to the death?
00:04:41Three hundred lions remaining from the prophet's army of three thousand.
00:04:47But they too were gripped by fear.
00:04:50In front of them was Abu Sufyan and the army of polytheists.
00:04:53Behind them is the fear of the Banu Qurayza.
00:04:57Arrows raining down like a storm, and hunger and cold.
00:05:01Hunger casts a pale shadow over their faces.
00:05:07Look, a companion of the Prophet is coming to him.
00:05:15"I have no strength, no energy, I sacrifice my very existence for you, my lord," he says, bowing his head.
00:05:25I can't bear it any longer, O Messenger of Allah.
00:05:27I tied a stone to my stomach to suppress my hunger.
00:05:31And he unties his belt.
00:05:35A stone falls to the ground.
00:05:39Our Prophet first looks at the stone, then sadly at his companions.
00:05:45And he reaches out and unfolds his own belt.
00:05:49Two stones fall to the ground.
00:05:52The Companions look at our Prophet with tears in their eyes.
00:05:56He disappears into the darkness without saying a word.
00:06:02It's not easy.
00:06:03For a month, all they drank was water and all they ate were dates.
00:06:08They spent the day starving in the trench.
00:06:11They spent the night in the ditch, freezing in the cold.
00:06:16They fought for a month.
00:06:19This enemy has no intention of leaving, and this war has no intention of ending.
00:06:22The Messenger of Allah raised his blessed hands towards the sky.
00:06:26And prayer.
00:06:27No, it's not a prayer.
00:06:29Curse.
00:06:30O You who revealed the Qur'an.
00:06:32The one who gets the bill paid the quickest.
00:06:35O God, who defeated my tribe and its people.
00:06:39Defeat these tribes as well.
00:06:41Give them strength, O God.
00:06:44As soon as the prayer ends.
00:06:46A sound that gradually grows louder.
00:06:48A coolness flows from the darkness of the sky towards the earth.
00:06:53First, the flood came from the foothills of the mountain without making its power felt,
00:06:59He passed by kissing the blessed hands of the Prophet, a mercy to all worlds.
00:07:04Then, above the ditch, it donned its majesty and took on the name of a whirlwind.
00:07:09And with his characteristic fury, he plunged into the army of the polytheists.
00:07:14He had descended to earth with two thousand angels.
00:07:18Two thousand angels were tasked with instilling fear in hearts.
00:07:22The hurricane's job is to wreak havoc on the enemy.
00:07:27That hurricane was called Gündoğusu.
00:07:31And indeed, he alone was God's army.
00:07:37The storm stopped after a while.
00:07:40The angels ascended to the heavens.
00:07:42The Messenger of Allah returned to Medina with his companions the next morning.
00:07:49Now was the time for praise and gratitude.
00:07:53Because the trench was concluded with victory, with the help of God.
00:07:59Remember the verse from Surah Al-Ahzab.
00:08:03O believers, when armies came against you, We sent against them a whirlwind and troops that you could not see.
00:08:13Remember that day.
00:08:28Dear viewers, people often live life saying "later".
00:08:38I'll say it later, I'll apologize later, I'll fix it later.
00:08:49However, there is a truth to life.
00:08:53Some "laters" never come.
00:08:58As the saying goes, "There's no use regretting it after the fact."
00:09:02So what does a person regret most when they delay something?
00:09:10Not to break a heart?
00:09:15To seek forgiveness?
00:09:20Defending the truth?
00:09:24Time is a capital that silently slips away.
00:09:28Youth is passing by, opportunities are dwindling, and possibilities are shrinking.
00:09:35And one day, a person realizes this.
00:09:39What he's delaying is actually the most valuable thing he has.
00:09:46But every day is a new beginning.
00:09:49It's a way back at any moment.
00:09:55If it's meant to be tonight
00:10:01We'll talk about final regrets.
00:10:04Returning without delay.
00:10:06And without saying "I wish"
00:10:08We will talk about ways of living.
00:10:13Our night is blessed.
00:10:14May our pre-dawn meal be blessed, sir/madam.
00:10:24Dear viewers
00:10:26We are in the blessed atmosphere of Ramadan.
00:10:30We will be staying one more night after tonight.
00:10:33From the climate of mercy
00:10:34Hopefully we will enter a period of forgiveness.
00:10:38Regret after the fact is useless.
00:10:41Yes, we also want to avoid later regrets.
00:10:44To avoid experiencing that last regret
00:10:47Tonight we'll talk about our last regrets.
00:10:50Expert from the High Council of Religious Affairs
00:10:52Professor Mehmet Kapukaya
00:10:54With us
00:10:56Again, the Vice President of Yeşilay.
00:11:00Dr. Mehmet Güllüoğlu also
00:11:05Our valued passengers who will be traveling with us until dawn
00:11:09Two esteemed professors, welcome.
00:11:12Thank you.
00:11:13Professor Mehmet
00:11:14Thank you very much.
00:11:14How is your Ramadan going, sir?
00:11:18First of all, thank you for your kind invitation.
00:11:23In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
00:11:25Praise be to God, our Ramadan is going very well, as always.
00:11:32You know, it's the month of Ramadan.
00:11:35It is both a month of fasting and a month of the Quran.
00:11:40And I personally give up everything during Ramadan.
00:11:46I am trying to study the Quran.
00:11:50I'm reviewing my chapters.
00:11:53Thank God we have memorized the Quran.
00:11:55We try to repeat it as much as possible during Ramadan.
00:12:02Hopefully, it won't be hypocrisy.
00:12:04I also lead prayers with complete recitation of the Quran, my esteemed teacher.
00:12:07Mashallah, farekallah.
00:12:08Yes.
00:12:08And do you have a special congregation, sir? Is that how a family should be?
00:12:16Thank God, we have a wonderful congregation.
00:12:19And we've been operating in the same location for 13 years.
00:12:23Prayer with recitation of the entire Quran.
00:12:24We have an established community, and they are waiting for us.
00:12:28I just finished Tarawih prayers.
00:12:30I came here.
00:12:31I came here.
00:12:31We made it here.
00:12:32Hallelujah.
00:12:33So, esteemed professor, where are you from?
00:12:36Army.
00:12:37I'm from Mesudiye.
00:12:38Let us send our Ramadan greetings and pre-dawn meal greetings from here to Ordu, to Mesudiye, and to our viewers there.
00:12:45Thank you very much, sir.
00:12:47Thank you.
00:12:48You honored us with your presence by accepting our invitation.
00:12:50Not at all.
00:12:52Dr. Mehmet Gülloğlu is the Vice President of Yeşilay (Turkish Green Crescent Society).
00:12:56Yes.
00:12:57Dear professor, welcome.
00:12:59Thank you.
00:12:59Thank you very much.
00:13:01You're definitely very busy.
00:13:02But Ramadan is probably more tiring than the other 11 months.
00:13:08A pleasant tiredness.
00:13:10Serving humanity has a completely different, rejuvenating effect on a person.
00:13:15I also look at your pictures on social media.
00:13:19We are experiencing very significant changes, but thankfully, nothing is changing for you.
00:13:24Your services keep you young.
00:13:27God forbid.
00:13:28I like young people.
00:13:29Maybe it feels that way because I'm with young people.
00:13:33Regarding Ramadan, I have a four-year-old son who says, "Ramadan has come to us too."
00:13:38It's like people think of Ramadan as coming to one person, but then they say, "Ramadan has come to us too."
00:13:42Praise be to God, Ramadans are certainly busy.
00:13:45Yes, thank God.
00:13:45For both iftar programs and especially for civil society, Ramadan is also a time for gathering.
00:13:52It's also a good time to meet on different occasions.
00:13:56And of course, Ramadan truly has a blessing, as you mentioned at the beginning.
00:14:02Yes.
00:14:02Ramadan is also very visible this year.
00:14:05Its visibility in society is also greater.
00:14:07Yes, yes.
00:14:07Therefore, praise be to God.
00:14:08Hopefully, this atmosphere of mercy will continue to spread and increase.
00:14:13Of course, due to my work, I am also in challenging regions during Ramadan, such as Gaza, Syria, and other parts of the world facing difficult conditions.
00:14:25From a human perspective, Ramadan has also arrived amidst such challenging circumstances.
00:14:30May Allah accept our prayers and make up for our shortcomings, insha'Allah.
00:14:34So there are some things that we consider evil.
00:14:38But God Almighty is opening a door of service.
00:14:42Because the world is a place where we are put to the test.
00:14:46No one deserves to be born into this world.
00:14:50Therefore, being aware and conscious that this world is a world of trials, what is my role in any event that occurs?
00:14:59What can I do?
00:15:00We should actually be pursuing this.
00:15:03Let's begin our topic.
00:15:07After that, God willing, we'll be together until dawn.
00:15:12God willing.
00:15:14Professor Mehmet, regrets come too late.
00:15:21A person regrets most the things they delayed.
00:15:25Yes, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
00:15:31A person has been granted a lifetime by God Almighty.
00:15:38Being born into this life is one of the greatest blessings.
00:15:42And God has granted us all this life.
00:15:46If we do not live this life as our Lord desires, we will regret it.
00:15:55We are the ones who feel the most pain for him.
00:15:58Our holy book, the Quran, contains many examples of this.
00:16:03You started off so beautifully just now, saying that life on earth is a test.
00:16:08God Almighty emphasizes this to us in many verses of the Holy Quran.
00:16:13I'm sorry, I'm sorry
00:16:18Life on Earth is nothing but a game and entertainment.
00:16:22وَاِنَّ الدَّارَ الْاَخِرَةَ لَهِيَ الْحَيَوَانِ
00:16:26The real life is the life afterlife.
00:16:29He tells us.
00:16:31يَعْلَمُ اَنَّمَ الْحَيَاتُ الدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌ وَلَهُ
00:16:34Life in this world is a game, an amusement.
00:16:38وَتَفَاخُرُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ
00:16:40You boast amongst yourselves.
00:16:42I have this, I have that, I have a car, I have a house, I have these opportunities.
00:16:48وَتَكَاثُرُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ
00:16:51فِي الْاَمْوَالِ وَالْاَوْلَادِ
00:16:53You take pride in one another's possessions and your children.
00:16:58Life on Earth is like that.
00:17:01And we dive into this life.
00:17:03We live life in such a way that when we reach the end, we say, "Oh no, life is over."
00:17:11We say, "Alas, life is over," but we never get another opportunity to make the most of that life.
00:17:21God reminds us of this again and again so that we may make the best use of our lives.
00:17:31In various verses of the Quran, God Almighty tells us how a person feels remorse or what they regret,
00:17:43You know how we say "very striking"? He describes it in a very striking way.
00:17:47In the name of Allah.
00:17:49وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُوا الظَّالِمُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ
00:17:52Let's make good use of his memory skills.
00:17:55Yes, on that day the tyrant will say:
00:17:58يَكُولْ
00:17:59يَا لَيْتَنِ اتَّخَزْتُ مَعَ الرَّسُولِ سَب۪يلًا
00:18:02I wish I had followed that prophet and walked in his path.
00:18:09If only I had taken that prophet as an example and followed his path.
00:18:15يَا لَيْتَنِ اَلَيْتَنِ اَلَمْ اَتَّخِزْ فُلَانًا خَل۪يلًا
00:18:19Oh, I wish I hadn't befriended anyone like that.
00:18:24If only I hadn't befriended such a wicked person.
00:18:29لَقَدْ اَدَلَّنِ اَنِ الزِّكْرِ بَعْدَ اِزْجَاءِنِ
00:18:32After a form of remembrance similar to the Quran came to me, it surprised me.
00:18:38وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِلْاِنْسَانِ خَزُولًا
00:18:41The devil truly makes a person miserable, utterly humiliated.
00:18:47Yes
00:18:48الْرَسُولُ يَا رَبِّ اِنَّ قَوْمِ اتَّخَلُّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَهْجُورًا
00:18:55The Prophet will also say on that day:
00:18:57Oh Lord, these people have abandoned this Quran.
00:19:03Regret for abandoning the Quran.
00:19:07What a terrible regret.
00:19:11Yes
00:19:11We all live our lives in this world, either for better or for worse.
00:19:18We need to make the most of this opportunity.
00:19:21Because life is not something given to us repeatedly, but only once.
00:19:28And people try to complete their lives in some way.
00:19:34We all know that when this life's capital comes to an end, tomorrow we will be presented with our books of deeds.
00:19:44Either from our right side, or from our left, or from behind.
00:19:48Here's another example: to avoid regrets, we need to make the most of this life.
00:19:58The Lord of the Worlds commands us that:
00:20:00يَوْمَ اِذِنْ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَغْفَى مِنْكُمْ خَافِيَ
00:20:04You will all be presented before God.
00:20:07Nothing will remain a secret.
00:20:09فَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَم۪ينِ
00:20:13To whom is the book given from the right side?
00:20:17فَيَقُولُ هَا اُمُقْرَعُوا كِتَابِيَ
00:20:20He says, "Please read my book, read my record of deeds."
00:20:26What does it look like?
00:20:27It's like a student received a certificate of merit filled with achievements.
00:20:34And we all know the joy of the student who received that certificate.
00:20:39It jumps up and down.
00:20:40He shows it to his friends first.
00:20:42Then he doesn't know how to get home.
00:20:46He runs home and shows his report card to his father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother.
00:20:53Look at my report card.
00:20:55The person who takes the book of deeds from the right side immediately says to the people around them:
00:21:01"Read my book, take a look," he says.
00:21:04But that's very interesting, professor.
00:21:05If I remember correctly, this is mentioned in Surah Al-Haqqa.
00:21:11So, frankly, I can't know exactly what was written or not written in his notebook.
00:21:20Just open it and read, "I already knew that."
00:21:24I knew this day would come.
00:21:26He's a truly remarkable person, to say the least.
00:21:29Yes, it goes on to say, "That's a wonderful thing you said."
00:21:32I knew I would come across this account someday.
00:21:43He will live a life that he is content with.
00:21:47He will be in the highest heavens.
00:21:51Its branches will be so low that people will be able to eat the fruit without even having to stand up.
00:22:02Eat and drink well in accordance with what you have passed in the days of the present.
00:22:07You performed good deeds during your time on Earth.
00:22:11While everyone else was in rebellion, sin, and ignorance of their Lord, you performed good deeds.
00:22:19You have believed and fulfilled its requirements.
00:22:22You did not submit to Satan.
00:22:24They will be told, "Eat and drink with pleasure."
00:22:28Now we come to the part about regret.
00:22:31And emma men utiye kitâbehu bi şimali.
00:22:35What should someone do if they are given the book from the left side?
00:22:40And emma men utiye kitâbehu bi şimali.
00:22:43Fe yekûlü ya leyteni lem ute kitabiye.
00:22:47I wish this book had never been given to me.
00:22:49If I hadn't come across such a book.
00:22:52I wish I hadn't come across such a dirty ledger, a ledger full of sins and rebellions.
00:23:00And I do not know what account I have.
00:23:03I couldn't figure out my account.
00:23:05I didn't do my calculations very well.
00:23:07Yes, yes.
00:23:08Ya leyte ha kanetil gadiye.
00:23:11I wish death would be the end of it all.
00:23:13I wish everything would be concluded in court as soon as possible.
00:23:17Yes.
00:23:18And he expresses his regret as follows.
00:23:21Mâ âgnâ annî mâliye.
00:23:24My possessions were of no use to me.
00:23:27Especially the Sultan's birthday.
00:23:29My entire kingdom has perished.
00:23:33Yes.
00:23:34A regret, but a regret that is completely useless.
00:23:38And in that moment of remorse, he reads his book of deeds, and he sees that the situation is very bad, dire.
00:23:48What do students do around the world?
00:23:50My dear teacher, my beloved teacher, I kiss your hands and feet.
00:23:57Will you give me a chance?
00:23:58Or will you give me another test?
00:24:00Or will you give me a chance to retake the exam?
00:24:04Read my paper again.
00:24:05Right? We always say that.
00:24:08These are exactly the kinds of people they are.
00:24:11This is one of the verses that has affected me the most.
00:24:15In the name of Allah.
00:24:22You'll see people that day.
00:24:25The criminals bowed their heads.
00:24:28They bowed their heads before God.
00:24:32Didn't you used to say you wouldn't prostrate yourself?
00:24:34Didn't you used to say you wouldn't bow down?
00:24:36Didn't you used to say you wouldn't prostrate yourself?
00:24:38Didn't you always say you held your head high?
00:24:41You never saw anyone?
00:24:43You were so arrogant you couldn't see anyone?
00:24:46You didn't care about the poor, the destitute, the needy.
00:24:50You were cruel.
00:24:52And it's as if you created the low mountains yourself.
00:24:56You were in such a situation.
00:24:59Yes.
00:24:59What is he doing there?
00:25:01When he stands before God
00:25:03This is a very bad thing.
00:25:05When we stand before God
00:25:07Will we be able to hold our heads high?
00:25:11Or will we hang our heads in shame?
00:25:14This is very important.
00:25:15Yes, dear professor.
00:25:16That is to say, "It's too late to regret it."
00:25:19It applies to the afterlife.
00:25:21Before that
00:25:23We can let go of the things we regret.
00:25:27We have been given opportunities.
00:25:29Or after death, that is, on Judgment Day
00:25:31Even Satan, may Allah curse him, will say:
00:25:34I fear the Lord of all worlds.
00:25:37But that statement won't work there.
00:25:39It's beneficial in this world.
00:25:42Professor Mehmet, you are a valuable professor.
00:25:45You never saw the poor and the destitute, he said.
00:25:48That sentence honestly reminded me of Africa.
00:25:52Because you served in Africa for a long period.
00:25:57From your impressions there
00:25:59So, is a loaf of bread what they're waiting for?
00:26:03what will truly satisfy them
00:26:06So everyone did their best, may God be pleased with them all.
00:26:10Something is being done for Africa.
00:26:12But is it a loaf of bread?
00:26:14Is this justice?
00:26:15Is what they are waiting for a glimmer of hope?
00:26:18As you can see.
00:26:19First of all, I'd like to thank you as well.
00:26:21From where my previous teacher Mehmet explained...
00:26:24Let me start by adding something.
00:26:26If you'll allow me.
00:26:27Not at all.
00:26:27Of course, there will be regret in the hereafter, God willing.
00:26:30A very painful regret.
00:26:32But sometimes even unbelievers regret it.
00:26:35Sometimes it can even change to a kind of turbulence.
00:26:38Even if there's some kind of turbulence on the plane, you take a look.
00:26:40It creates a terrible fear in people.
00:26:44Suddenly, the prayers he knew came to him.
00:26:46They might start hugging.
00:26:48Of course, these are just small warnings in life.
00:26:51Again, the topic of last-minute regrets...
00:26:54Let me add a couple of things.
00:26:55Just in case I forget, while it's still on my mind.
00:26:57Of course, please go ahead.
00:26:59Our lord, as you know, is a very famous witch sheriff.
00:27:02He says, "Appreciate five things before five things come to pass."
00:27:04Life before death,
00:27:09health before illness,
00:27:12leisure time before busyness,
00:27:15youth before old age,
00:27:17He says, appreciate wealth before poverty.
00:27:21So, in response to five potential issues...
00:27:25Some of these are inevitable.
00:27:26Death is inevitable.
00:27:29Illness is now inevitable.
00:27:31In contrast to these, there are some things that truly deserve appreciation.
00:27:34It is necessary to know.
00:27:35Of course, in terms of Yeşilay's activities as well.
00:27:37As you yourselves said,
00:27:39You can get rid of some regrets,
00:27:41Hopefully we'll also touch on the possibility of you giving it up.
00:27:43Yes, God willing.
00:27:44In Africa, both because of his previous civil society work,
00:27:48both four years in Tanzania
00:27:50by serving as an ambassador,
00:27:51both many countries,
00:27:52I also spent four years in Tanzania.
00:27:55First of all, I can state this.
00:27:57More than material matters
00:27:58People are seeking peace.
00:28:00People are looking for security.
00:28:02He is seeking salvation.
00:28:05We have many civil society organizations.
00:28:08significantly in recent years
00:28:10that is, in contrast to many parts of the world,
00:28:12Against many countries in Africa as well.
00:28:14They are carrying out aid activities.
00:28:17I also need the previous
00:28:18During my time as Director General of Girls' Affairs,
00:28:20In my previous role at Doctors Without Borders,
00:28:23in both health and other fields
00:28:25We have done very serious work regarding the activities.
00:28:27However, I can say this:
00:28:31missionary activities
00:28:32For over a century,
00:28:34Still very active in Africa
00:28:36It continues.
00:28:38People only eat that basic food
00:28:40not to the materials,
00:28:41They fundamentally need development.
00:28:44So, we are the ones who are leaving too.
00:28:46what our organizations do
00:28:48Absolutely valuable,
00:28:49But educational activities,
00:28:51health activities,
00:28:53technical capacity
00:28:54Cooperation is needed.
00:28:57I always say this,
00:28:58an African woman
00:28:59He said something nice in a video.
00:29:02He says,
00:29:03If you want to help Africa,
00:29:05He says, "Trade with Africa."
00:29:07He says, "Come and visit Africa."
00:29:09He says, "Establish relations with Africa."
00:29:11Therefore, yes.
00:29:12Aid activities are important.
00:29:14However,
00:29:15These are only about the victim,
00:29:16It shouldn't be limited to Ramadan.
00:29:18So think of it this way,
00:29:19even if it were your own sibling,
00:29:21and even in a difficult situation,
00:29:23Would you give him a food parcel?
00:29:25or else to him,
00:29:26Or let's find you a better job,
00:29:28Let's tidy up your house.
00:29:31Let's start a business for you if needed.
00:29:33Do you need school supplies?
00:29:35Let's enroll you in school.
00:29:37Let me pay your school fees.
00:29:38Is your health the issue?
00:29:40to you, you know,
00:29:40We'll talk to them,
00:29:42We don't go and hand out a single food package,
00:29:44Even if he/she were our own sibling.
00:29:45Teaching how to fish.
00:29:46Teaching how to fish.
00:29:47This is not easy.
00:29:48In this sense,
00:29:50some of our civil society organizations,
00:29:52Türkiye's,
00:29:53TİKA's,
00:29:54So TIKA is a very important organization,
00:29:55educational activities,
00:29:57In this regard, our Marif Foundation has ongoing projects,
00:29:59There are other NGOs working on this, though.
00:30:02I repeat,
00:30:03For over a century,
00:30:04missionaries,
00:30:05He is actively working in Africa.
00:30:08Thousands of primary schools,
00:30:10middle school,
00:30:10with high school,
00:30:12with hundreds of universities,
00:30:13along with hundreds of clinics,
00:30:15especially in the fields of education and health,
00:30:18They are still working in Africa.
00:30:20Instead of asking them why they are working,
00:30:23I ask myself,
00:30:24Why aren't we working?
00:30:27And again, I say this based on my observations in Africa.
00:30:29Of course, we're talking about Africa in general, but...
00:30:31Actually, we're not doing anything very right.
00:30:34The entire Earth.
00:30:35Even when we talk about Africa,
00:30:37We're talking about 54 different countries.
00:30:39So, Egypt is an African country,
00:30:42The Republic of South Africa is an African country.
00:30:44Chad is also an African country.
00:30:46In Somalia,
00:30:47In Senegal,
00:30:48In Morocco,
00:30:49So actually, from 54 different countries,
00:30:52We're talking about different cultures.
00:30:54But Africa in general,
00:30:56It is an ancient Muslim continent.
00:30:58So, from West Africa,
00:31:00All the way to South Africa.
00:31:01Africa, especially its periphery,
00:31:03It is a region generally visited by Muslims.
00:31:07In Tanzania, where I was stationed,
00:31:09There are mosques dating back to the 800s.
00:31:11So there was probably a mosque there that was even older than the one in Anatolia.
00:31:16But of course, as I said,
00:31:18For 100-150 years,
00:31:19Muslims have been actively working, and continue to be.
00:31:22In this sense, we,
00:31:24Sometimes it happens in the media too,
00:31:27What are we doing in Africa?
00:31:29We have a lot of work to do in Africa.
00:31:30What we need to do with Africa,
00:31:32What we need to do with Asia,
00:31:34We have a message to tell the world.
00:31:36We have a responsibility to the world.
00:31:39I love a quote by the late Turgut Cansever.
00:31:42Muslim,
00:31:42Because it is necessary to develop both worlds.
00:31:45Well,
00:31:46He will rebuild the world, and he who built it,
00:31:49With the world he has built, God willing, he will also build his hereafter.
00:31:52For that reason,
00:31:54In Africa,
00:31:55It's still a very untouched region.
00:31:57Well,
00:31:58I'm not saying this based on the source,
00:31:59I'm not saying this from a capitalist perspective.
00:32:01Human dignity also has much to accomplish.
00:32:03Well,
00:32:03Dear professor,
00:32:05Now,
00:32:06of course,
00:32:07People of different religions come and
00:32:09He tells these things to the people there.
00:32:13They are trying to explain their religion, but...
00:32:15This,
00:32:15It does not impoverish the people of that place.
00:32:18There's something else,
00:32:19room,
00:32:20at work,
00:32:21white man,
00:32:22Let's say,
00:32:23People in Africa,
00:32:27exploit their resources,
00:32:28over,
00:32:29He has brought Africa to this state.
00:32:31Or,
00:32:32God Almighty has also given to Africa,
00:32:34He also gave some to Europe,
00:32:35He gave it to the whole earth.
00:32:37Now,
00:32:37I think we,
00:32:39From what we can see,
00:32:41Our state is not only providing food to Africa,
00:32:44development activities as well.
00:32:47Woman,
00:32:48We need to make this clear.
00:32:50Now,
00:32:50Currently, there is a cultural dominance of Western civilization in the world.
00:32:55Well,
00:32:55This dominance,
00:32:56from clothing,
00:32:58down to their lifestyles,
00:32:59from furniture in homes,
00:33:02They are in a position to master even technological devices.
00:33:05Well,
00:33:05Let's establish this.
00:33:07And from this dominion,
00:33:08traditional societies,
00:33:10It is being affected very seriously.
00:33:11Well,
00:33:12now,
00:33:13powerful against the West,
00:33:14China is one of the economic countries.
00:33:16Even in China, young people,
00:33:18He works for a famous phone brand.
00:33:21Japan,
00:33:22He had a quarrel with America,
00:33:24a country that has fought a war,
00:33:25Even young people in Japan now,
00:33:28He is trying to buy that phone brand.
00:33:31Africa is also affected by this,
00:33:32It is affected in Asia,
00:33:33Muslims are also affected,
00:33:34Everyone is affected.
00:33:35But the same West,
00:33:37So, during the time I was in office,
00:33:39Let me share a few things I witnessed firsthand.
00:33:42In 2023,
00:33:43The President of Germany,
00:33:44He came to Tanzania,
00:33:45And officially apologized to Tanzania.
00:33:47Because during the approximately 40-50 years of colonial rule,
00:33:50According to optimistic estimates,
00:33:52They had killed more than 300,000 Tanzanians.
00:33:55They had exploited its resources.
00:33:57And in 2023,
00:33:58The then-President of Germany came,
00:34:00And officially apologized to Tanzania.
00:34:02So, there was a Germany that had committed such a massacre.
00:34:06If I'm not mistaken again in 2022,
00:34:09A very interesting ceremony was held in Belgium.
00:34:11The capital of Belgium,
00:34:12A very interesting ceremony was held in Brussels.
00:34:14The Democratic Republic of Congo,
00:34:17first prime minister,
00:34:18after gaining its independence from Belgium,
00:34:20first prime minister,
00:34:21If I remember correctly, to Lubum,
00:34:24a few years after taking office,
00:34:26He disappeared.
00:34:27There were conflicting parties.
00:34:29One of the warring parties kidnapped the prime minister.
00:34:32And while explaining these things,
00:34:34I apologize to our viewers and to you, but...
00:34:36We really need to talk about these things.
00:34:39His body was never found.
00:34:41Because his body was dissolved in acid.
00:34:45The rest of the story is more interesting.
00:34:48from those conflicting parties,
00:34:50one of the terrorist groups,
00:34:52some of his advisors,
00:34:53They were Belgian police officers.
00:34:55One of those policemen,
00:34:57the remaining pieces,
00:34:59a few bone fragments,
00:35:00ring,
00:35:01external,
00:35:01He picks them up and puts them in a box.
00:35:05What happened in 2022?
00:35:07In 2022, this police officer...
00:35:08before he/she passed away,
00:35:09He says to his daughter,
00:35:10He is describing the event.
00:35:10He says,
00:35:11This is what happened in Congo at that time,
00:35:13I was there too.
00:35:14And I got these parts,
00:35:15I put it in a box,
00:35:16These pieces are in that box in my library.
00:35:18At first, his daughter doesn't believe it.
00:35:19Then his father keeps insisting on it.
00:35:22And indeed,
00:35:23He picks up the box,
00:35:24There are some interesting pieces inside the box.
00:35:26He's taking it to the Belgian government.
00:35:28The Belgian State,
00:35:29He is investigating the matter.
00:35:30And finally,
00:35:32this deceased prime minister,
00:35:33They are taking DNA samples from his family.
00:35:36And what they said is proving to be true.
00:35:39In a ceremony in 2022,
00:35:41He is being handed over to his family.
00:35:44And I apologize.
00:35:45Well,
00:35:46It is necessary to understand this aspect of Western civilization as well.
00:35:49Like this,
00:35:50Our beloved Prophet,
00:35:51burying his daughter in the ground,
00:35:54burying alive,
00:35:55He had a man repeat his account.
00:35:58She cried,
00:35:59He made them repeat it.
00:36:00She cried,
00:36:01He made me repeat it.
00:36:02And then,
00:36:03What kind of Islam is it for you?
00:36:05so that you can understand that He bestows life,
00:36:07I did it.
00:36:09He says,
00:36:10Our beloved Prophet.
00:36:11As you are explaining,
00:36:12We are proud of our civilization.
00:36:15He brought justice to the world,
00:36:18and did not exploit people,
00:36:20and the best he can do for people,
00:36:22The descendants of a civilization that strived to do good.
00:36:25Besides, even in war, you know,
00:36:27Torture is prohibited.
00:36:28Well,
00:36:28Comparison of the deceased,
00:36:30Even if you kill your enemy,
00:36:31so that he/she will remember,
00:36:32Muslima,
00:36:33well,
00:36:34torment,
00:36:35It is prohibited.
00:36:36Yes.
00:36:36There are laws of war.
00:36:37for us,
00:36:39these later,
00:36:40years later,
00:36:40humanitarian law,
00:36:41Agricultural areas are not attacked.
00:36:43to women,
00:36:44to children,
00:36:45to the elderly,
00:36:45to places of worship,
00:36:46These are Islam,
00:36:47According to Islamic laws of war,
00:36:49These are things that came into existence 1400 years ago.
00:36:50However,
00:36:52After World War II,
00:36:53It appears as humanitarian law.
00:36:55Yes.
00:36:55But to him too,
00:36:56both in Gaza,
00:36:57whether elsewhere in the world,
00:36:58How much is being followed?
00:36:59That's a separate issue.
00:37:00Yes.
00:37:01Thank you.
00:37:02We will continue, God willing.
00:37:03Mr. Mehmet.
00:37:05Dear Professor,
00:37:07in a moment,
00:37:09There will be a recitation of the Quran.
00:37:11We're going to listen to some sheriff commentary.
00:37:12But during your speech,
00:37:16Even when it comes to choosing your friends,
00:37:19in the afterlife or at work,
00:37:21and when the account is settled,
00:37:23He'll say, "I wish I hadn't befriended you."
00:37:26When you say,
00:37:27to my mind,
00:37:28In the Holy Quran, our Lord says,
00:37:30when depicting paradise,
00:37:34We're talking about friends.
00:37:35Well,
00:37:36prepared for them,
00:37:37to the pillows,
00:37:39sitting on the cushions,
00:37:40and chatting,
00:37:42One of them says,
00:37:44We had a friend in our world,
00:37:46What is his situation?
00:37:48God Almighty will show him his state in hell.
00:37:51And there,
00:37:52One of them says,
00:37:54I'm glad we didn't listen to you.
00:37:55So if almost,
00:37:57You were going to lead us astray too.
00:38:00Now, like this,
00:38:01There are friendships.
00:38:02But,
00:38:03If you'll allow me,
00:38:05Dear professor,
00:38:05because I don't want to cut it,
00:38:08The Holy Quran,
00:38:09you too,
00:38:11well,
00:38:11My grandfather used to say,
00:38:13hafiz,
00:38:14without ablution
00:38:15inviolable memory.
00:38:16Because he,
00:38:17He is a walking Quran.
00:38:18You too,
00:38:19To the Glorious Quran,
00:38:21Your service until this age.
00:38:22God Almighty,
00:38:23for the sake of the Quran,
00:38:25May it be beneficial for you,
00:38:25May God grant them a long life.
00:38:27I said the same thing,
00:38:28Because I didn't want to cut it,
00:38:29Now,
00:38:30The Holy Quran,
00:38:32time,
00:38:33The holy month of Ramadan,
00:38:35The place where the Quran was revealed,
00:38:35moon and,
00:38:36a very beautiful night,
00:38:38Ramadan night.
00:38:40Tonight,
00:38:41by the light of revelation,
00:38:42Let's be enlightened.
00:38:43We want.
00:38:44Later,
00:38:45hopefully,
00:38:46We will continue with you.
00:38:47Dear professor.
00:38:48Yes,
00:38:49Dear viewers,
00:38:50Now,
00:38:51Extreme Sheriff,
00:38:52We are listening.
00:39:26وَمَنْ تَابَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَإِنَّهُ يَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَتَابًا
00:39:50وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَشْهَدُونَ الزُّورَ
00:39:56وَإِذَا مَرُوا بِاللَّغْوِ مَرُوا كِرَامًا
00:40:14وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُوا بِآيَاتِ
00:40:21رَبِّهِمْ لَمْ يَخِرُّوا عَلَيْهَا
00:40:46وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا
00:40:50وَاللَّهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا
00:40:59وَذُرِّيَاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ
00:41:08وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا
00:41:26أُولَئِكَ يُجْزَوْنَ الْغُرْفَةَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا
00:41:35وَيُلَقَّوْنَ فِيهَا تَحْيَةً وَسَلَامًا
00:41:51خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا
00:41:59حَسُنَتْ مُسْتَقَرَّا وَمُقَامًا
00:42:09قُلْ مَا يَعْبَأُ بِكُمْ رَبِّي لَوْلَا دُعَاءُكُمْ
00:42:25فَقَدْ كَذَّبْتُمْ فَسَوْفَ يَكُونُوا لِزَامًا
00:42:34صَدَقَ اللّٰهُ الْعَظِيمُ
00:42:40Tonight, I will be speaking with Mehmet Kapukaya, a highly esteemed expert from the High Council of Religious Affairs.
00:42:46and the Vice President of Yeşilay, Dr. Mehmet Gülloğlu.
00:42:51Our studio guest and I are walking together towards the time of Imsak (pre-dawn meal).
00:42:56Professor Mehmet, when does a person feel regret the most?
00:43:05So, in youth, in middle age, or in old age?
00:43:10I already remember one hadith (prophetic saying) like this:
00:43:13Everyone will have the moment to say, "I wish..."
00:43:15Of course, that's what our beloved Prophet said about the Day of Judgment.
00:43:19So a believer will say "I wish" because he desires a higher rank in paradise.
00:43:25I wish I had tried harder.
00:43:28The word "if only" isn't only used for bad things.
00:43:31For good deeds too, I wish I had done more, I wish I had done even more.
00:43:35These kinds of feelings seem like they're typical of old age, but is the right time for them actually in youth or middle age?
00:43:44Or is there nothing we can do, is it only natural that we'll say this in old age?
00:43:49Yes.
00:43:52Now I remember a person who came into the presence of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
00:44:02This answers your question perfectly.
00:44:05So, believers will also experience regret, of course.
00:44:10What kind of regret will they experience?
00:44:13Now, tell us the story.
00:44:17One day, a companion of the Prophet came to him.
00:44:25He captured the Prophet Muhammad in detail.
00:44:28So he must have been waiting for that moment, waiting for that opportunity.
00:44:33He came and sat at her feet.
00:44:36He looks at the Prophet like this.
00:44:39He stares in admiration.
00:44:41The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is looking at him.
00:44:45The Prophet is trying to get to know him.
00:44:49And who is this?
00:44:51You know how we sometimes say, "This person looks familiar, but who is this?"
00:44:56He's trying to recognize me.
00:44:58Even the Companion was surprised, like, "How could he not recognize me?"
00:45:02Because he was her freed slave.
00:45:05He doesn't recognize his freed slave.
00:45:08And after a while he says to him, "Aren't you a Sevban?"
00:45:14"Yes," he says, "I am a Sevban, O Messenger of Allah."
00:45:18"Don't you recognize me?" he asks.
00:45:20"I barely recognized you," he says, "I couldn't place you at first."
00:45:24And he remembers what she used to be like.
00:45:28He says your complexion has changed.
00:45:30You know how we say, "She threw Betty at Benz"?
00:45:34Yes.
00:45:35He says you threw it at Beti Benz.
00:45:38What happened to you, he asks.
00:45:40You've lost weight.
00:45:42You know how we say someone is practically skin and bones?
00:45:45Like this.
00:45:47If you have a problem, are you sick?
00:45:49He says, "O Messenger of Allah, I am sick, but I am not the kind of sick you know."
00:45:59What do you mean? he says.
00:46:01You know, I love you very much," he says.
00:46:04And I regret it so, so, so much when I can't see you for even a moment.
00:46:11I am sad.
00:46:12And I am eagerly awaiting the morning prayer.
00:46:16Because I can't see you at night.
00:46:18"I'm always with you during the day," he says.
00:46:22I'm old now.
00:46:24Remember when we were talking about feeling regret?
00:46:28I'm old now.
00:46:32Something occurred to me recently.
00:46:35I'm old now.
00:46:37And one day I will die.
00:46:40And when I die, this question comes to my mind.
00:46:44It's killing me, O Messenger of Allah.
00:46:47Which question?
00:46:49He says, "O Messenger of Allah."
00:46:51If I pass away, if I die.
00:46:55If God puts me in hell.
00:47:00This is very important.
00:47:02If God puts me in hell.
00:47:04It burns me so much, it really burns me.
00:47:06That's not what he's saying.
00:47:07It will send them to the bottom of hell.
00:47:09He throws it to the deepest part.
00:47:11An eternity leaves me there.
00:47:14No.
00:47:15He says:
00:47:16If God puts me in hell.
00:47:20O Messenger of Allah.
00:47:21I will never see you again.
00:47:23I hope I never see you again.
00:47:27But only if God puts me in His paradise.
00:47:31But even then, my problem doesn't end.
00:47:36Because, he says.
00:47:38You are a prophet.
00:47:41And the rank and status of the prophets are known in Paradise.
00:47:47You say.
00:47:49He is with the prophets.
00:47:51He says you will be in the most exceptional and distinguished place in paradise.
00:47:58And I am such a helpless servant.
00:48:03I am a humble Muslim.
00:48:06I wonder, he says.
00:48:08Could I be your neighbor in heaven?
00:48:12Can I experience paradise with you?
00:48:15Can I see you there?
00:48:17He says, "If God puts me in His paradise..."
00:48:21The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) cannot give an answer to this.
00:48:27They're waiting like this.
00:48:29The longer he waits, the more his sadness grows.
00:48:33The Prophet Muhammad, however, was experiencing the sadness and sorrow of being unable to give an answer.
00:48:40While waiting like this, he heard the voices of those oppressed,
00:48:45God Almighty hears his voice.
00:48:48So, it means we need to live a life in such a way that...
00:48:52May God, who hears the voices of the oppressed, hear us too; He will hear us.
00:48:58He'll definitely hear it.
00:49:00And she hears his voice.
00:49:01And He sends down these two verses concerning this.
00:49:07In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
00:49:09وَمَنْ يُطْعِ اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُولُ
00:49:12Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger.
00:49:16فَاُولَٰئِكَ مَعَلَّذ۪ينَ
00:49:19وَاَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ
00:49:21They are with those whom Allah has blessed.
00:49:26So who are these people upon whom God has bestowed His blessings?
00:49:31مِنَنْ نَبِيِّينَ
00:49:33Prophets
00:49:35وَاَصْتِقِينَ
00:49:36As you explained so beautifully.
00:49:39Like Hazrat Abu Bakr al-Siddiq
00:49:41People who have reached the pinnacle of faith.
00:49:45That's how I describe Siddiq.
00:49:47People who have reached the pinnacle of faith.
00:49:51He is such a devout believer.
00:49:54He is such a righteous and honest believer.
00:49:57He was so deeply immersed in his faith that...
00:50:01He has now become Siddiq.
00:50:04وَاَشُّهَدَٓا۪ي وَالصَّالِحِينَ
00:50:06They are with the martyrs, the witnesses, and the righteous servants.
00:50:11وَحَسُنَا اُلَٰئِكَ رَف۪يقَ
00:50:13They are such wonderful friends.
00:50:16But ذَلِكَ الْفَضْلُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ
00:50:18This is how it is with your deeds
00:50:21It's not a rank or position you'll attain.
00:50:24This is God's will to such servants,
00:50:28It is a gift from God to His obedient servants.
00:50:31وَكَفَا بِاللّٰهِ عَلِيمَا
00:50:33Allah is sufficient as the All-Knowing.
00:50:35Amine.
00:50:36Yes, now our Prophet
00:50:39He read these verses to her.
00:50:40And now he has hope.
00:50:44He understood.
00:50:45How can I be with the prophet?
00:50:48This is what happens if I obey Allah and His Messenger.
00:50:53This is what we will regret.
00:50:55In the world, especially as we get older,
00:50:59when we look back
00:51:00What have we done in terms of obedience to Allah and His Messenger?
00:51:05We need to do some soul-searching.
00:51:09Before I die.
00:51:11As I just explained a moment ago,
00:51:14Will regret be of any use in the afterlife?
00:51:16No.
00:51:17So why does God tell us about those regrets?
00:51:21Regret will be of no use in the hereafter.
00:51:25That won't happen.
00:51:26Here's the thing before that regret comes,
00:51:30Let's regret things while we're still in this world.
00:51:33Let us regret it.
00:51:34Let's regret it.
00:51:35Examine your conscience before you die.
00:51:38Hâsibû enfusekum gâble entuhâsebûm.
00:51:43Before being subjected to God's judgment,
00:51:46That's a wonderful thing to say.
00:51:48Examine yourselves.
00:51:51We always need to hold ourselves accountable.
00:51:56Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him),
00:52:00you know,
00:52:01So you are an expert in these matters.
00:52:04One finds a person for himself,
00:52:09He gives him a task.
00:52:11What is the task?
00:52:12It will remind us of Hazrat Omar,
00:52:14Omer, death is coming.
00:52:17Death will come one day.
00:52:19He reminds me of this every day.
00:52:22And our master, Hazrat Omar,
00:52:24It manages with this accounting method.
00:52:27He is acting as Caliph.
00:52:30Remembering the reckoning after death,
00:52:34you know,
00:52:35Omer and Adlun,
00:52:35There is an expression in Arafic.
00:52:38Omar is the very embodiment of justice.
00:52:40Omar is justice.
00:52:42Here's a person who, if they know they will be held accountable,
00:52:47If he does not forget that he will have to give an account to God,
00:52:49That is justice.
00:52:51It brings peace to the world.
00:52:53Why do the tyrants of today's world commit atrocities?
00:52:57Because they have no faith.
00:52:59They have no belief that they will be held accountable.
00:53:04Here,
00:53:05Just like in the story of Sevban,
00:53:08we,
00:53:09We are constantly praying.
00:53:12Oh Lord,
00:53:12Grant us the privilege of being neighbors to our Prophet.
00:53:15But how are we going to be neighbors?
00:53:17But,
00:53:18Like Hz. Sevban,
00:53:20We don't become skin and bones.
00:53:22We didn't worry about it.
00:53:24Unfortunately.
00:53:25So, with all due respect,
00:53:29I try to say this in many places.
00:53:31I'm saying,
00:53:33From the moment the genocide began in Gaza,
00:53:37If I haven't experienced any weight loss,
00:53:41what I said,
00:53:43Ninety-nine percent of it is just something said for the sake of saying it.
00:53:47Well,
00:53:49because of the mistakes a person makes in their own life,
00:53:53the troubles a person acquires,
00:53:57It also shows its location.
00:53:59Well,
00:54:00It also shows where humanity stands.
00:54:02Whatever we worry about,
00:54:04It was probably a quote from Mevlana Celalettin Rumi.
00:54:07You are what you seek.
00:54:10What you're looking for,
00:54:11You are who you are.
00:54:13Dear Professor,
00:54:13We will continue.
00:54:14Thank you very much.
00:54:16Your words are like honey,
00:54:17sherbet,
00:54:19It's like sweet syrup to us at this time of night.
00:54:22At this time of pre-dawn meal.
00:54:23And at the time of sahur (pre-dawn meal).
00:54:24Believe in the conversation between our beloved Prophet and Sevman,
00:54:28as if traveling through time,
00:54:31We watched it from the sidelines, as if we were just observing.
00:54:33Hopefully we will be among those who benefit from it.
00:54:37Hopefully.
00:54:39Mr. Mehmet,
00:54:41Now,
00:54:41Of course, this is not only true for Africa,
00:54:44If we evaluate all the services provided by Yeşilay,
00:54:47work done on the ground through diplomacy,
00:54:53well,
00:54:55What is the difference between humanitarian aid and humanitarian aid?
00:54:58through diplomacy,
00:54:59What is the difference between humanitarian aid and humanitarian aid?
00:55:02And let me conclude with this,
00:55:04And that person,
00:55:05with decisions made at the desk,
00:55:08among the realities encountered in the field,
00:55:12What was the most shocking thing that happened to you?
00:55:14Now we're trying to do some acting too.
00:55:17Screenwriter/writer.
00:55:18But,
00:55:19It's something written at that table.
00:55:21He's not always like that on the field.
00:55:23Well,
00:55:23when it falls into the director's hands,
00:55:24How will he turn it into reality?
00:55:27That's where the trouble begins.
00:55:29Therefore,
00:55:30There are studies being conducted at the table,
00:55:32But it also has implications on the field.
00:55:35Like this,
00:55:36of course,
00:55:36In the duties I have performed to date,
00:55:38I have worked in civil society.
00:55:41I worked in humanitarian aid.
00:55:43In the field of disaster management,
00:55:44I worked at AFAD (Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency of Turkey).
00:55:45as a state institution.
00:55:47And,
00:55:47I have also been working as a diplomat for 4-5 years.
00:55:49I worked as an ambassador.
00:55:51For that reason,
00:55:52both at the table,
00:55:52both on the field,
00:55:54both at the table,
00:55:55one that has been found,
00:55:56Let me express it as one.
00:55:58Of course,
00:55:58They both live in their own worlds.
00:56:00Especially,
00:56:01in modern times,
00:56:02Activities at the table,
00:56:04that is, activities in the field of diplomacy,
00:56:06There are visible faces.
00:56:08But behind the scenes,
00:56:10well,
00:56:10In diplomatic terms,
00:56:13both hard power,
00:56:14What they call hard power,
00:56:16Here is military power,
00:56:17issues such as economic power,
00:56:18both soft power,
00:56:20What they call soft power,
00:56:21civil society,
00:56:22cultural activities,
00:56:24TV series in which you have acted,
00:56:27movies,
00:56:28It's so effective that,
00:56:29Therefore, modern times now...
00:56:31These are also somewhat intertwined,
00:56:32I can express it as times.
00:56:35Of course,
00:56:36diplomatic activities
00:56:37within table activities,
00:56:38There is representation.
00:56:39Among the table activities,
00:56:41There are meetings.
00:56:42This includes,
00:56:43both intergovernmental meetings,
00:56:45as well as,
00:56:46Like the United Nations,
00:56:48international platforms,
00:56:49There are meetings.
00:56:50As well as,
00:56:51There are things that are actually happening on the ground.
00:56:54Of course,
00:56:54World,
00:56:55for a long time,
00:56:56well,
00:56:57After the 1980s,
00:56:59especially after the Cold War,
00:57:00regarding world affairs,
00:57:02It's causing him/her a lot of thought.
00:57:03Many problems,
00:57:05despite its many shortcomings,
00:57:06The United Nations,
00:57:07There is a structure.
00:57:08However,
00:57:09Lately,
00:57:10Although it has been heavily criticized,
00:57:12even though he had sustained very serious injuries,
00:57:13in the world,
00:57:14at work,
00:57:15hunger,
00:57:16poverty,
00:57:16diseases,
00:57:17inequality,
00:57:19environmental issues,
00:57:20regarding its elimination,
00:57:21They are also making an effort.
00:57:23However,
00:57:24As you said,
00:57:25A script is being written, but...
00:57:27that scenario,
00:57:28implementation in the field,
00:57:29not always,
00:57:30It doesn't always look the same on paper.
00:57:32At work,
00:57:32This is where the actors come into play.
00:57:34Well,
00:57:35personally,
00:57:36United Nations organizations,
00:57:37states,
00:57:38civil society organizations,
00:57:39companies,
00:57:41Development efforts are coming into play.
00:57:44Once,
00:57:45Good faith is needed.
00:57:46Well,
00:57:47The United Nations, for example,
00:57:48One of the most criticized issues is,
00:57:51We're talking about very large sums of money.
00:57:52But how much of that money goes to the field?
00:57:55personally,
00:57:55It is spent on meeting people's needs.
00:57:58Again,
00:58:00Actors are important.
00:58:02Well,
00:58:04In 1994,
00:58:05The Srebrenica massacre of 1995,
00:58:07That's an interesting issue in that sense.
00:58:10Around 8,000 people are there.
00:58:13He became a martyr.
00:58:14May God have mercy on his soul.
00:58:15And may God have mercy on him.
00:58:17It is one of the massacres the world must remember.
00:58:20And the power of the United Nations,
00:58:23It occurred as a result of withdrawal from the area.
00:58:26For that reason,
00:58:27well,
00:58:28some of the ones on the table,
00:58:30small changes,
00:58:32big on the field,
00:58:33negative,
00:58:34or it can lead to positive results.
00:58:37That's why I...
00:58:38those who are watching us
00:58:39I always emphasize this to my younger siblings as well.
00:58:42I always emphasize this when I meet with young people.
00:58:44Diplomacy is important.
00:58:46Government duties are important.
00:58:47And here too, well-meaning people,
00:58:50national and spiritual values,
00:58:52There needs to be people who value human life.
00:58:55Otherwise,
00:58:56For example, the medical profession is like that too.
00:58:58So if you view medicine solely as a professional occupation,
00:59:01the person in front of you,
00:59:02It's as if it's no different from a piece of wood.
00:59:04If you act as if it's no different from textiles,
00:59:07You would be a doctor devoid of wisdom.
00:59:10You won't become a doctor.
00:59:10But you are someone who values people,
00:59:13that that person also has a soul,
00:59:16that it is a spirit,
00:59:17that it is a special entity,
00:59:19so take him off the table,
00:59:20If you see it as something that distinguishes it from a chair,
00:59:22Then, God willing, you will also become a doctor.
00:59:25In diplomacy as well,
00:59:26If you value values,
00:59:29If you value national and spiritual values,
00:59:31Especially if you are a Turkish diplomat,
00:59:33so from a vast ancient tradition,
00:59:36If you are a diplomat of a country with a historical responsibility,
00:59:39Then you'll work in a different way,
00:59:41You represent yourself with a different dress,
00:59:46your country and your values.
00:59:48Because expectations will be high.
00:59:50Exactly.
00:59:51So when I see you,
00:59:52It will see its ancient civilization carried on your shoulders.
00:59:57I'm sure you've heard this before,
00:59:59I have encountered it firsthand,
01:00:00When we travel to different parts of the world,
01:00:02but especially in Muslim regions,
01:00:04or in countries with Muslim societies,
01:00:07The following question is being asked,
01:00:08Where are you?
01:00:09So sometimes the Ottoman Empire was more than we could handle,
01:00:12Necip Fazıl has a very beautiful conversation about Hagia Sophia.
01:00:16The Ottoman Empire was a giant.
01:00:18The camel says,
01:00:18They had his head cut off with their own hands.
01:00:21And they mounted them on their knees.
01:00:24Our minds are still that giant,
01:00:26Therefore, in our minds too,
01:00:27We still have a collective mindset against many geographies,
01:00:31In our minds, there is a geography that we call the Ottoman remnant land,
01:00:35But on the other hand, there are also the facts of history.
01:00:38That's why I've encountered it in many countries,
01:00:41Where are you?
01:00:42Where were you?
01:00:43Why were you late?
01:00:44Why didn't you come?
01:00:45This applies even if you are a Turkish doctor,
01:00:48even if you are a diplomat,
01:00:49even if you are a merchant,
01:00:50This places a responsibility on you.
01:00:51Therefore, the table and the field are actually an inseparable whole.
01:00:55But the coming together of these,
01:00:57The people who will be working here,
01:00:59having qualified people,
01:01:01not just in a technical sense,
01:01:03They should also be spiritually qualified people,
01:01:05I think it's really important.
01:01:07But of course, the field,
01:01:08as is the case in the acting you do.
01:01:11There are other realities.
01:01:12And let me also mention Yeşilay here lastly,
01:01:14We are also trying to expand our activities in this regard.
01:01:18On the one hand, I continue with my public service job, but...
01:01:20I also volunteer in civil society organizations.
01:01:24I also see this,
01:01:26no matter what field you work in,
01:01:28This includes Yeşilay,
01:01:29Ultimately, when you value people,
01:01:32When you empathize with people's problems,
01:01:35People are more willing to open up and approach you.
01:01:39We are also against addictions in the world,
01:01:41We study five types of addiction.
01:01:43Tobacco addiction,
01:01:44There are many products derived from tobacco.
01:01:45So whether it's classic tobacco cigarettes,
01:01:49whether it's electronic cigarettes,
01:01:51They have other products.
01:01:53Alcohol has unfortunately been a widespread form of addiction throughout human history.
01:01:58It is mentioned in the Quran itself.
01:02:01It is one of the world's biggest problems.
01:02:03The types of addiction that we refer to as substance abuse are...
01:02:07It has been on the rise recently,
01:02:09increasing in its new form,
01:02:10gambling, online gambling,
01:02:12It also has many sub-categories.
01:02:14And then there's technology addiction, which we're all against.
01:02:18What are the five types of addiction against?
01:02:20We are conducting research in three areas.
01:02:22We are trying to prevent it.
01:02:24The same thing happened with that last regret I mentioned earlier.
01:02:27So, if possible, without it altogether.
01:02:29We try to prevent it from the very beginning.
01:02:30We sometimes ask people, especially young people, who smoke or have other addictions.
01:02:36We ask, "Would you want your children to smoke?"
01:02:39Most people know it's bad and say, "Yes, I wouldn't want my children to smoke."
01:02:47We are conducting research on treatment.
01:02:49We have YEDAM green advisory centers all over Türkiye.
01:02:53I think Ramadan is a great opportunity for this.
01:02:55Those who are fasting, watching us, parents who have woken up for suhoor, those who have forced their children to wake up for suhoor, or people who are smoking
01:03:01They fast during the day and don't smoke.
01:03:04So, it means they can stay away.
01:03:06They are able to stay away from this addiction, this obsession.
01:03:10Let's turn this into an opportunity, God willing, for those who quit smoking this Ramadan to quit completely.
01:03:18It would also be an opportunity to quit.
01:03:20And of course, advocacy.
01:03:22Unfortunately, it's in the media, unfortunately it's on social media, it's on billboards.
01:03:27So, in this sense, the modern era has truly been a difficult period for us.
01:03:31The addiction industry is working very hard on addictions.
01:03:35It operates in a very aggressive manner and normalizes addictions.
01:03:39Addictions are not normal.
01:03:42It is not a means of socialization.
01:03:44Neither cigarettes nor alcohol.
01:03:46That's not the right thing to do.
01:03:48The right thing to do is not to use them.
01:03:50These are not the ones that are pure, halal, tayiben, lawful, and clean for us.
01:03:58That's why it's really important to stay away from them.
01:04:00We, as Yeşilay, have been operating for 105 years, you may know this, but there may be viewers who don't.
01:04:05Let me conclude by saying this.
01:04:06I think the founding story of Yeşilay is very important.
01:04:09So I think it's something every Turkish citizen should definitely know.
01:04:12Yeşilay was founded in 1920.
01:04:16It was established in Karaköy Port during the British occupation.
01:04:20The British are docking at the port and distributing free alcohol from there.
01:04:26They're giving away free alcohol there.
01:04:29Following this, Professor Dr. Mazhar Osman, considered the founder of psychiatry in Türkiye, travels to Sheikhülistan.
01:04:37He says that yes, they occupied Istanbul, but at the same time, our youth also want to occupy it.
01:04:43They say we need to do something, and they go to the sultan.
01:04:46Perhaps inspired by the Red Crescent (Hilal-i Ahmer), one of the last institutions of the Ottoman Empire, the Green Crescent (Hilal-i Aktar) was founded.
01:04:55So it emerged as an organization within the independence struggle, with the aim of protecting young people.
01:05:02Addictions are one of our enemies that threaten our independence.
01:05:05Thank you very much.
01:05:08Professor Mehmet, now it's too late to regret it.
01:05:13Here I am, back to square one.
01:05:14You have been serving for many years, you are on the High Council of Religious Services, you have done work, you know the youth, you see our people.
01:05:31Regarding procrastination, what exactly is the thing that is being postponed that catches your attention the most?
01:05:40What is being postponed are our deeds.
01:05:45In other words, we delay fulfilling the requirements of faith for too long.
01:05:50We are neglecting them.
01:05:53Thank God, our people have faith.
01:05:57Our youth, our children, have faith.
01:06:00With a tiny spark, thank God, it can immediately turn into a blazing fire.
01:06:09You know, recently a particular religious song has become quite famous.
01:06:14Yes.
01:06:14I was actually a bit pessimistic about our children, about our future, but I've been looking into it for the past few days.
01:06:24I got my hopes up very high, sir.
01:06:27So what is this thing that's being postponed?
01:06:31What is being delayed are our deeds.
01:06:34Unfortunately, as our esteemed president has stated, our youth are being lured into a trap.
01:06:42They have faith, thank God, but they lack the ability to put it into practice and reflect it in their lives.
01:06:54That is why our holy book, the Quran, describes the lives of people who deceive and mislead each other, and those who are deceived by them.
01:07:07God Almighty tells us their stories.
01:07:10He gives examples.
01:07:12He gives us an example of what they will face tomorrow.
01:07:17Now he says that this is mentioned in many verses of the Quran.
01:07:20I'll only read one or two of them.
01:07:30The disbelievers say, "We will never believe in this Quran."
01:07:34We do not believe in those who came before us either.
01:07:41You'll see that day.
01:07:43People have appeared before God.
01:07:46They're waiting there.
01:07:47Yerci'u ba'duhum ila ba'dunil kavul.
01:07:51They are blaming each other.
01:07:53How do they make accusations?
01:08:00Those who follow their bad friends.
01:08:04Those who follow those bad people.
01:08:08They say, "If it weren't for you, we would have been guided."
01:08:15We were going to be believers.
01:08:17We were going to become Muslims.
01:08:18We were to be the kind of servant our Lord desired.
01:08:23But what do they say?
01:08:29And they reply:
01:08:34They say, "Did we give you orders?"
01:08:41Yes, he says, you gave us the order.
01:08:43You said, "Deny God."
01:08:45We did it.
01:08:47We said, "Associate partners with Allah."
01:08:49We did it.
01:08:50So, they have some regrets here.
01:08:53But what do they say in the end?
01:08:55They all say the same thing.
01:08:58Let's cry out today if we want.
01:09:01Let's be patient.
01:09:02There is no salvation for us.
01:09:04Who is the person most often accused of crime?
01:09:08It's the devil.
01:09:09The devil is making a defense at that great judgment in the afterlife tomorrow.
01:09:14So he's making a truly remarkable defense.
01:09:19وَقَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَمَّا قُطِيَ الْاَمْرِ
01:09:21He says
01:09:22ِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَعَدَكُمْ وَعَدَ الْحَقِّ
01:09:24Did God make promises to you?
01:09:27It was found.
01:09:27But God's words are true, and His promises are true.
01:09:32But
01:09:32I also made promises to you.
01:09:36This is all a lie.
01:09:37It's not true.
01:09:38There is no afterlife.
01:09:39Heaven doesn't exist.
01:09:40Hell doesn't exist.
01:09:41Don't believe such a thing.
01:09:43Life is worldly life.
01:09:45The world is exactly as the polytheists said.
01:09:48In this earthly life, we sleep and then morning comes.
01:09:51That's how life goes.
01:09:52Let's enjoy life.
01:09:54Let's do it this way.
01:09:54Yes, I've always told you all this, he says.
01:09:58But he says
01:09:59فَاَخْلَفْتُكُمْ
01:10:00I couldn't keep my promise.
01:10:02وَمَا كَانَ لِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانِ
01:10:04That's very instructive.
01:10:06Did I establish a kingdom for you?
01:10:09Did I force you to do anything?
01:10:11I didn't have it done.
01:10:13God bless you, God bless you
01:10:16I invited you.
01:10:17You came to me too.
01:10:20فَلَا تَلُوْمُونِ وَلُوْمُوا اَنْفُسَكُمْ
01:10:24Don't condemn me.
01:10:25Condemn yourself.
01:10:28Don't say, "He made me do this."
01:10:30Condemn yourself.
01:10:31Why did I do what he said?
01:10:34Can you imagine now?
01:10:35There is a supreme creator.
01:10:37My servant, do not do this.
01:10:40But you have a friend, a companion.
01:10:42He says do this.
01:10:43Drink alcohol.
01:10:46Take drugs.
01:10:48Obtain the prohibited substance.
01:10:50Do not worship.
01:10:51Pray.
01:10:52Live your life.
01:10:54Live your life.
01:10:55Live however you want, do as you please.
01:10:57My body is free.
01:10:59No one can interfere with my body.
01:11:01Nobody can put pressure on me.
01:11:03That's what you were saying.
01:11:05Sir.
01:11:08Don't condemn me.
01:11:09Condemn yourself.
01:11:11Mâ ene bimusrihikun.
01:11:14I can't save you.
01:11:16Mâ mâ entum bimusrihikun.
01:11:17You can't save me either.
01:11:20Inniye Eşrektumûni min cable.
01:11:22I say.
01:11:24Do not associate partners with God with me.
01:11:26I don't accept them.
01:11:27I disagree.
01:11:28I'm not your friend, he says.
01:11:31And that's how he defends himself.
01:11:34Now, what if tomorrow we say, "I did this because of so-and-so"?
01:11:40They even say that.
01:11:42Our Lord, grant them a safeguard from punishment.
01:11:44Give them double punishment.
01:11:47You should give him double the punishment.
01:11:50Even if you inflicted five times the punishment, it would still be enough.
01:11:52He gets nothing out of it.
01:11:54All these conversations.
01:11:56Things we'll talk about tomorrow.
01:11:58God is reminding us.
01:12:00It reminds me of our youth.
01:12:02It reminds us of ourselves.
01:12:05Let's not say "oh no" tomorrow.
01:12:07Let's not say "oh no".
01:12:09Yes.
01:12:10So, let me interrupt my professor with some jam.
01:12:12Yes.
01:12:13So, what my professor said aligns so much with our understanding of addictions.
01:12:18My professor already gave examples related to both alcohol and drugs.
01:12:22Those who come to us seeking help from addictions say similar things.
01:12:26They say, "My friend got me hooked."
01:12:29Yes.
01:12:29"I started because of him," she says.
01:12:32It's important to choose your friends wisely.
01:12:35Families also have a role to play, but we only have two and a half minutes left.
01:12:39Professor Mehmet, with your prayers, we intend to begin the fast of the new day, if you would be so kind.
01:12:46Not at all.
01:12:46Dear viewers, today we have our esteemed professor Mehmet Kapıkaya, an expert from the High Council of Religious Affairs, and Dr. Mehmet Güllüoğlu, Vice President of Yeşilay (Turkish Green Crescent).
01:13:01He was our guest in the studio.
01:13:04I thank them very much, and with the prayers of my teacher Mehmet Kapıkaya, we will begin the fast of the new day.
01:13:13We will be together again next night for the blessings of the pre-dawn meal, sir.
01:13:18Please, sir.
01:13:19The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has a very beautiful and inclusive prayer.
01:13:24I will include him as well, God willing.
01:13:25Amine.
01:13:27Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
01:13:29And peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his companions.
01:13:36O God, Lord of the Worlds.
01:13:37At this blessed hour, at dawn during the month of Ramadan, we raise our hands in prayer to His exalted presence.
01:13:45Do not turn us away from your door, O Lord.
01:13:48O Lord of the World, forgive our sins.
01:13:51Destroy our sins.
01:13:53Turn our evil deeds into good, O Lord.
01:13:58Grant us the grace to be true believers.
01:14:03We believe in the verses of the Quran.
01:14:06Grant us the ability to act upon it, O Lord.
01:14:09O Lord, do not make us among those who regret their actions at the last moment and cry out in despair.
01:14:15O God, Lord of the Worlds.
01:14:17May God grant us all that is good in this world and the hereafter.
01:14:21Protect us from all evil, both known and unknown, in this world and the hereafter.
01:14:28O Lord of the Worlds, we ask of You the same things that our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) asked of You in this worldly life.
01:14:38Grant it to us.
01:14:39We seek refuge in You from the evils and wickedness from which our beloved Prophet sought refuge in You in this world; protect us from them.
01:14:51O Lord, grant us Your Paradise and enable us to speak words and perform deeds that will bring us closer to Your Paradise.
01:15:00O Lord, deliver us from Hellfire and protect us from speaking words and performing deeds that would bring us closer to it.
01:15:09O Lord, always grant us what is best for us in everything.
01:15:14O Lord of the Worlds, do not let us fall into the hands of our own desires even for the blink of an eye.
01:15:20O Lord, we ask for your mercy.
01:15:22Treat us with your mercy, compassion, and kindness.
01:15:28May God have mercy on our ancestors.
01:15:29May God have mercy on our martyrs who died without a bond.
01:15:31In these blessed days, grant healing to your sick servants, relief to your afflicted servants, and repayment to your indebted servants.
01:15:40Grant us what we hope for, and protect us from what we fear.
01:15:46Grant us prosperity in this world and the hereafter, and bestow upon us the honor of beholding Your paradise and Your divine countenance.
01:15:52O Lord, grant us all the opportunity to experience Paradise together with our beloved Prophet.
01:15:58Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar
01:16:26And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, Al-Fatiha
01:16:28Praise be to Allah, Al-Fatiha
