00:00:00Bismillah, Bismillah, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, Bismillah.
00:00:18Suheyb-i Rumi came to Mecca as a slave, worked hard, toiled, freed himself from slavery, and with his wealth became one of Mecca's most prominent merchants.
00:00:33one of them had become.
00:00:34After converting to Islam, he wanted to emigrate and go to Medina, the city of our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
00:00:43He wanted to live his faith better, to breathe in the spiritual atmosphere there.
00:00:49And when he gathered his possessions and set out on his journey, the polytheists of Mecca ambushed him.
00:00:56They said, "O Suheyb, you were weak and helpless, yet you acquired wealth and property here in our land."
00:01:06Do you really think you can just take your faith and your possessions and leave?
00:01:12They said they wouldn't allow it.
00:01:14Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) pondered for a while and, faced with this deceptive situation, was overcome by the power of his faith.
00:01:25So he chose God's side.
00:01:27He said, "Let my possessions, property, and hidden gold be yours."
00:01:33Let me.
00:01:35I will act according to my beliefs.
00:01:38I'm going to Medina.
00:01:40If you get in my way, I'll throw my quiver at you; you know how dangerous they are to you.
00:01:50There is no one in Mecca who is a better archer than me.
00:01:54"Whoever wants to be a target for my arrows, let them come forward," he said.
00:01:57But release me, I will go to the Messenger of Allah," he said.
00:02:02Faced with Suheyb's resolute stance, the Meccan polytheists released him.
00:02:08And Suhayb came to Medina with nothing, just the clothes on his back.
00:02:15And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) greeted him with a smile.
00:02:20"Suheyb," he said, "you have won."
00:02:24"What a wonderful purchase you've made," he said.
00:02:30Sir, Suheyb was a very skilled archer.
00:02:33And his victory wasn't actually achieved with his arrows.
00:02:39By giving up, he won his true victory.
00:02:44Ramadan is about giving up.
00:02:46Halal means abstaining from food and drink that our Lord has made permissible for us.
00:02:53And our goal is not just to go hungry.
00:02:57This occasion is an opportunity to discipline our souls, reform our egos, and learn to relinquish worldly things that we think we cannot give up.
00:03:10Therefore, the bow of Ramadan has been drawn and the arrows of intention have been shot.
00:03:17So where are our arrows pointing?
00:03:21Tonight on TRT1, we will be discussing our direction on our program, Ramazan Sevinci (Joy of Ramadan).
00:03:28We will try to understand the things that make us who we are.
00:03:31Our guests will be Prof. Dr. Abdüllatif Tüzer and Prof. Dr. Ahmet Salduz.

00:12:24That's the goal. When we look at all forms of worship and examine their wisdom, we see that they have an important mission: to prepare people for goodness, truth, and virtuous behavior.
00:12:36worship.
00:12:37As a result, there is an effort to create a virtuous society. How can we make sense of this relationship?
00:12:44Actually, let me start by saying this about a virtuous society: As you know, Islam has perhaps been around for thousands of years, with thousands of prophets mentioned.
00:12:57The evolutionary, advanced point of a revelation process. And therefore, the purpose, goal, and project of Islam regarding society, the universe, and especially humanity.
00:13:10to understand
00:13:10Sometimes I like to look at the story from a slightly longer perspective, because that's the only way we can see the whole picture.
00:13:17A virtuous society was something highly valued in ancient Greece, in Islam, in ancient China, in other words, in the societies of the ancient world.
00:13:30A virtuous society. Why is that important?
00:13:33Because it is believed that a virtuous life is essential for an individual's journey from themselves to the person they are returning to.
00:13:44Secondly, social solidarity, brotherhood, and equality are considered extremely important for this virtuous way of life.
00:13:51Let me give you an example. For instance, living a virtuous life in our time is very difficult.
00:13:58Why? Because when we talk about virtue, moderation, excess, and deficiency come to mind.
00:14:05There are two particularly powerful emotions. Fear and aggression, or as Freud called it, anger.
00:14:12Then there is desire, lust. The ability to tame these two emotions is extremely important for a person's development.
00:14:24So why is this important? Because when these emotions cannot be controlled or managed, they begin to control the person.
00:14:32As people begin to govern, they act through their emotions, that is, their fears, which have an object in the outside world.
00:14:40Through his desires, he begins to lose his freedom and his ability to govern himself.
00:14:46As they experience losses, their personality and character begin to deteriorate.
00:14:51Because the tremors are beginning.
00:14:53Are these two emotions dominant in a person?
00:14:56Let's think about it this way, Freud, for example, with his theory of personality or psychoanalysis,
00:15:03Eros, Sanatos, so on one side there is desire, on the other side aggression.
00:15:09What I'm actually trying to say is that the ultimate goal of human perfection, of becoming truly human, and of virtue itself, is happiness, bliss.
00:15:19And from that bliss, the highest bliss is to attain bliss in eternity, which Sufis call "bekabillah" (eternity in God).
00:15:26Actually, it's something that leads to this path.
00:15:28And what we call virtue or morality ultimately aims at happiness.
00:15:32If we look at the definition of Islam, doesn't it aim for happiness both in this world and in the hereafter?
00:15:38Aren't we aiming for benefit, for the good of humanity?
00:15:42And our Prophet says that we should make things easier, not harder; we should bring good news and avoid causing hatred.
00:15:49A religion that is so good for humanity, that has such good projects for humanity, is, in my opinion, much, much more humane.
00:15:58I think it should become important in your life.
00:16:00And we started from a very good place for this, Erdem.
00:16:04When we talk about virtue, we mean wisdom, living wisely.
00:16:08Ultimately, living wisely—that's what I define it briefly as follows.
00:16:13So, what is a wise life like today, professor?
00:16:16What are we looking at today?
00:16:17Today is awful.
00:16:18No, I mean, can't we do this?
00:16:20Is this something that belongs to the past?
00:16:22Very difficult.
00:16:23Perhaps you will ask this question later.
00:16:26Very difficult.
00:16:26Because this is the age of secularization.
00:16:28The shaping and formative role of religion in human life and character is largely being diminished.
00:16:34In other words, political secularization has now transformed religion into an alternative.
00:16:40In the market, and not just in one religion, Islam, there are many options: Buddhism, Hinduism, and many more.
00:16:46It has lost its former formative power.
00:16:50It turned into individualism.
00:16:51The individual has become very important.
00:16:55Therefore, whether one is individualistic or lacks solidarity, the following is always imposed on people.
00:17:00You are self-sufficient.
00:17:02You're fine.
00:17:04You don't need anyone.
00:17:06Solitude is good to this extent, and good to that extent.
00:17:08This is how you destroy solidarity and brotherhood.
00:17:11Think about it, who can this individualistic culture serve now?
00:17:15So, okay, individualism, like virtue ethics, demands self-governance.
00:17:23From where?
00:17:24Because someone who is not free cannot be an individual.
00:17:26That's perfectly reasonable.
00:17:27If we are not free, we are not individuals.
00:17:29So what is the biggest threat to human freedom?
00:17:32As our great pantheist Spinoza said,
00:17:35Our feelings, our own feelings.
00:17:38So, he says that someone who is enslaved by their emotions is a slave.
00:17:41From where?
00:17:41Because through emotions, people connect with other people and objects in a manipulative way.
00:17:47Think about addictions.
00:17:48He becomes unable to manage himself.
00:17:51Religion, through virtue or worship, aims to enable people to govern themselves, to acquire this power, this skill.
00:18:01I speak a little fast.
00:18:02I apologize for wanting to say so much.
00:18:05For example, in Greece, in ancient Greece, Socrates lived a life of pleasure and enjoyment, as we would say today.
00:18:11The aristocrats are mocking Socrates.
00:18:14"You're such a knowledgeable person, you have a lot of wealth and all that, but you don't know how to live, you don't travel and all that," they say.
00:18:22He says this because Socrates is said to have possessed certain miraculous powers characteristic of saints.
00:18:29He says, "If a disaster were to strike one day, if a war were to break out one day, you would all be wiped out on the first day of the war, but I..."
00:18:38I will remain standing tall.
00:18:40From where?
00:18:41From where?
00:18:41Because I have strengthened myself by learning to manage myself and discipline my ego.
00:18:47You can't easily break me, nothing can break me.
00:18:51Because I am now in what they call ataraxia, a state of mental peace and tranquility.
00:18:57So when we connect with the outside world through our emotions, it starts to constantly shake us in that way, through our emotions.
00:19:05People, events, this and that.
00:19:08Well, this is Socratic, or as described in our Ihtinas Sirat Almusakim, someone who has entered the right path, that is, who is now on his own two feet.
00:19:18A man who has gained strength and been able to control himself and his ego is a very strong man.
00:19:24Because, you can fight with someone, beat them up, and settle the matter, but is it easy for a person to overcome their anger, to overcome their desires?
00:19:35Yes, it's really not a physical thing.
00:19:38Not.
00:19:38Yes.
00:19:39So this is the most difficult thing, and the greatest aim of religion, really, at the individual level, at the human level, is...
00:19:48He aims for happiness, and to be happy, he says:
00:19:52"Khairul umur evsatüha," meaning the best of things, the middle ground, that's what it says.
00:19:57Bengelemek.
00:19:58Measurement.
00:19:58Measurement, yes.
00:19:59This principle also exists in our Sufi literature.
00:20:03It exists in classical Greek literature, it exists in ancient Chinese wisdom, everyone has talked about it, they've always talked about it throughout human history.
00:20:10along.
00:20:11The logic is this: God unites opposites within Himself; He is one.
00:20:17Therefore, there is no change or imperfection in God.
00:20:20But since creation is ontologically inferior to God, it carries, in a Leibnizian sense, a deficiency, a lack of perfection.
00:20:29And because the universe is in motion, change and dynamism arise through conflict.
00:20:34This conflict can only be resolved in a healthy way through virtue.
00:20:38Then, later, we will also discuss the ways to attain virtue, professor.
00:20:45Certainly.
00:20:45God willing, I want to return to my teacher Ahmet.
00:20:48They head a virtuous organization, Doctors of the World.
00:20:52I really like it, Doctors Without Borders, it sounds like such a classy name to me.
00:21:00Let's start with what kind of mission they have on Earth, if you'd like, professor.
00:21:05Of course. Sir, we are a non-governmental organization operating in the health sector for 25 years.
00:21:13We have operated in 83 countries so far.
00:21:18We have brought benefits to hundreds of thousands of people.
00:21:22If we were to list these benefits, we would say we have carried out nutritional health projects.
00:21:27We carried out emergency projects.
00:21:30We delivered equipment and medical supplies.
00:21:32We tried to perform high-quality surgeries by bringing our doctors from here to that location with mobile medical teams.
00:21:40We have a cataract project, we have eye health projects.
00:21:43We have maternal and child health projects.
00:21:46We have dozens more projects like this.
00:21:48Professor, when I asked you the question, I actually meant that when we hear the word "doctors," only this comes to mind for us:
00:21:53Someone is sick, and they go and treat them or perform surgery on them.
00:21:57That's all for now, but what you've described is truly a very detailed list of activities.
00:22:03Definitely.
00:22:04So we are trying to focus more on the healthcare sector.
00:22:07But you know, we also engage in some activities that are required by certain religious obligations, such as sacrificing an animal or giving alms.
00:22:15Yes, so when you say "earth," which areas does your activity encompass?
00:22:24So, in which fields do you conduct such lucrative activities?
00:22:28How far do your arms reach?
00:22:30Yes, we currently have permanent clinics in 8 countries.
00:22:36These clinics also provide primary healthcare services.
00:22:40Maternal and child health services are also provided.
00:22:43Nutritional health services are also provided.
00:22:46These are our centers located in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Yemen, Syria, Gaza, Tanzania, Chad, and Somalia.
00:22:58They have continued their operations for many years.
00:23:01Apart from these permanent locations, we also continue our operations in many countries with our mobile teams.
00:23:14In terms of nutrition, this includes food parcel assistance, nutritional aid, and also teams going there to provide medical health services.
00:23:26In terms of transportation, our activities continue in other countries as well.
00:23:30Yes, so I assume you have motivations beyond professional requirements here, sir.
00:23:38So, it seems like these things you mentioned can be done with a religious understanding, but it's based on voluntarism.
00:23:46What are your motivations for these studies?
00:23:50Yes, that's a very good question.
00:23:52Actually, let's say a doctor, or a healthcare worker, or just any person, why would they need a bone marrow transplant?
00:23:57Will it fall on the way?
00:23:58Yes, perhaps we could call compassion the first heading.
00:24:04A person's inner feeling of compassion can give rise to a desire to help those people.
00:24:09Secondly, it might be a desire to find meaning in life.
00:24:12So it could be a desire to give meaning to life.
00:24:16Perhaps most importantly, it's about benefiting someone, being useful to them.
00:24:21In other words, to be useful to humanity.
00:24:23Perhaps this is the most important point to focus on.
00:24:27How nice.
00:24:29Yes, Professor Abdulhatif.
00:24:31The issues that Professor Ahmet also mentioned are essentially about people supporting each other, helping and benefiting one another, and creating a virtuous society.
00:24:45These are very valuable activities in this respect.
00:24:47Definitely.
00:24:47So, what is the function of religion here?
00:24:51What is the mission that drives people to engage in such activities, that enables them to participate in such work, and in a sense, shapes this aspect of their character?
00:25:06Let me try to answer this by connecting it to your previous question.
00:25:12You mentioned the state of our times, didn't you?
00:25:16I told you our era is more difficult.
00:25:19But we're not losing hope, are we, professor?
00:25:21No, we aren't.
00:25:22Thanks.
00:25:22It's more difficult from this perspective.
00:25:26Because in our time, the ways of arousing and stimulating desire in humans have multiplied and become more numerous.
00:25:35It has become more sophisticated.
00:25:37And there are many things that are related to anger in humans, things that greatly stimulate the feeling of fear.
00:25:45I say this because...
00:25:47I wish people could see this, I mean, understand it.
00:25:51There is a global market, a global economy.
00:25:53In this market, they mostly play on people's desires and their anger, those two powerful emotions we mentioned.
00:26:01So, more needs are being created.
00:26:05This means you are becoming more dependent on external sources.
00:26:09As you become addicted, you lose the ability to control yourself.
00:26:12This constant swing between extremes causes us emotional turmoil.
00:26:18Think of yourself as a ship without a rudder.
00:26:22Go with the current, but you don't know where you're going.
00:26:25It's like a bumpy ride.
00:26:30And then, of course, artificial intelligence emerged.
00:26:33People have also started using the term "çetçi piti" very frequently now.
00:26:37So much so that I'm asking if it would be a good idea to drink coffee today.
00:26:42That's what I think.
00:26:43You know, we always say that Islam is a religion of reason.
00:26:46The Quran emphasizes the importance of using one's intellect, contemplation, reflection, and deliberation.
00:26:53If a system has been created that tells you it's not very economical to use your own brain, and that it will use its brain for you,
00:27:04Can a person who doesn't use their mind govern themselves?
00:27:08Because reason establishes principles, it establishes laws.
00:27:11Law within me.
00:27:13The moral law, as Kant called it.
00:27:14Yes, God has placed this law within me.
00:27:16But with this law, I wouldn't want for others what I wouldn't want for myself.
00:27:21This is also a fundamental principle of religions.
00:27:23Because this principle governs all my actions, my desires, everything, I stand tall.
00:27:28I always feel good.
00:27:30My sense of honor and self-respect has always been high.
00:27:34But this principle within me, which sets the standard and governs, when the power of reason weakens—you could also call it God's law, the law within us—is what matters.
00:27:45when it weakens,
00:27:46People's behavior is driven by their emotions.
00:27:51Emotions, too, begin to be controlled by whoever holds the strings.
00:27:59From this perspective, I see many things about our era; I see it as very hopeless in terms of the human project.
00:28:05And I'm sorry, but there's something else I have to say.
00:28:10Religion always directs us towards eternity, the divine, and eternal, lasting happiness.
00:28:20He is showing him the way.
00:28:22The modern age, however, does so through the individual and by excessively inciting the individual's emotions,
00:28:29"Be yourself, be yourself," and so on, is part of it, by whipping you up.
00:28:33In fact, it is those who manipulate those emotions the most that make people dependent on them.
00:28:39People's freedom is taken away, and they are made manageable; that's why we are being governed.
00:28:44It's transforming it into such a system.
00:28:47This, I don't know, if it's about every individual, really, if every single individual is important,
00:28:56As Socrates said, an unexamined life is not worth living.
00:29:00Everyone needs to understand the value and importance of their own life and take control of it.
00:29:07From this perspective, questioning and the pursuit of human happiness for thousands of years,
00:29:13and therefore, he looks with joy upon the guidance of religion, which serves as a guide.
00:29:25I think it should adopt it.
00:29:26So I think religion should be much more influential in this day and age.
00:29:32In order to be free, in order to be happy, according to the concepts of our time,
00:29:38That's what people are looking for.
00:29:39For these reasons, religion is even more necessary.
00:29:42Yes, professor, precisely this kind of individualism,
00:29:46Here is the antidote to the human tendency to live life according to one's own selfish desires and wishes.
00:29:52without exhibiting altruistic behavior like you did.
00:29:58In these regions, you are fighting in wars, in difficult conditions, and
00:30:03I'm sure there are many dramatic scenes and stories in those places.
00:30:08Can you tell us about any stories you've encountered related to these?
00:30:13Yes, there really are so many stories, too many to tell.
00:30:18But perhaps the greatest need on a global scale right now is nutritional health.
00:30:24So we can call it hunger.
00:30:25Hunger, because it's something that really affects 2.3 billion people,
00:30:33So, considering the world's population of 8.3 billion, I can say that's a huge number.
00:30:38One group of people exposed to this hunger are children, children under the age of 5.
00:30:44There's this food security classification, there's this hunger classification.
00:30:49They classified it into 5 degrees like this.
00:30:54They stated that 300 million people are facing stage 3 hunger.
00:30:59This is what the United Nations agencies have said.
00:31:05It has even been stated that the level of famine is level 5 in Gaza and Sudan.
00:31:11The situation in Gaza is also dire.
00:31:14How should we understand these degrees, that is, the aspect of them that is reflected in us?
00:31:20What happens when it reaches degree 5?
00:31:21If it's a fifth-degree fever, for example, they won't eat for a few days.
00:31:25He hasn't eaten anything for several days.
00:31:29In the third degree, there was an expression like this:
00:31:32He has to sell his possessions to find food.
00:31:36So, that's how they categorized this thing.
00:31:40As Doctors Without Borders, we are of course trying to do everything we can to combat this hunger.
00:31:48We have nutrition health centers.
00:31:50We have these nutritional programs especially for these children.
00:31:55We continue these nutrition and health programs in Afghanistan, Chad, Somalia, and Gaza.
00:32:02Actually, it's very easy to tell whether a person, especially a child, is experiencing hunger or not.
00:32:09I also brought this armband.
00:32:11For example, with a simple examination, we can tell that a child on the red line is malnourished.
00:32:18Well?
00:32:19So we can understand that there is a nutritional deficiency.
00:32:23We can detect it with a simple examination.
00:32:27Because starvation reduces both muscle mass and bone strength.
00:32:32So, professor, doesn't it make a difference according to these patterns? It's not misleading, is it?
00:32:36This is something used for children aged 5 to 6.
00:32:38Yes, it can be used on all of them.
00:32:42We measure around the arm.
00:32:45Here you see red, yellow, and green areas.
00:32:48The red color indicates malnutrition.
00:32:54Besides that, you know, a simple edema check, like pressing on their feet and measuring the swelling.
00:32:59Because when you go hungry and don't get enough protein, this kind of edema can occur in the body.
00:33:04Actually, we can detect this with simple examinations.
00:33:07And in our nutritional health centers, we especially provide these therapeutic foods to children.
00:33:14We feed these foods to these children under supervision for a month or two.
00:33:19And we are witnessing the progress firsthand.
00:33:22If it grows to that level, we say it can now be kept as a pet at home.
00:33:26We have been running these nutritional health projects for many years.
00:33:31In fact, thanks to the blessings of Ramadan, we are actually expanding these nutritional programs even further.
00:33:38We distribute food packages in 30 countries.
00:33:42We have iftar meals.
00:33:45We actually started our first iftar of the year in Cameroon.
00:33:49We had a team that went there, again for surgeries in the field of urology.
00:33:53On this occasion, we will also set up an iftar table there...
00:33:58I'm curious how they receive you there, how they react when they see you, sir.
00:34:04Sir, it can be said that wherever we go, we are essentially welcomed with open arms.
00:34:08Because we don't discriminate based on religion, language, or race, but the regions we go to are Muslim regions.
00:34:15It happens often.
00:34:16We are Muslims, praise be to God.
00:34:18When we get together, we hug.
00:34:20Let me put it this way.
00:34:22But we also always listen to our friends who go out onto the field, for example.
00:34:26What they always said was, "I'm so glad I went."
00:34:30That's how I felt as a doctor.
00:34:32Even in the smallest thing.
00:34:34Because the people there are in such dire need.
00:34:38So what you're doing is simple.
00:34:39Perhaps in Türkiye, let's say, a medical examination.
00:34:41That's a huge deal for them.
00:34:43She had never seen a doctor in her life.
00:34:46There are people who come from very far away to wait for our surgeries.
00:34:52They wait at the door for days.
00:34:54Sometimes things like this happen.
00:34:56For example, we have a cataract camp.
00:34:59He came from very far away.
00:35:01Of course, these things are announced, but preparations begin months in advance.
00:35:04So we're going with extensive preparations.
00:35:07Our patients are being gathered.
00:35:08The teams are getting ready.
00:35:09The ingredients are being prepared.
00:35:12Sometimes there isn't enough time.
00:35:13So you've made a plan.
00:35:15We'll be going there for a week or ten days.
00:35:16We'll be camping there.
00:35:17We will be performing cataract surgeries.
00:35:19We'll be back.
00:35:20Sometimes it happens that they've come from such a long way.
00:35:23Our patients are returning without being able to do it.
00:35:26We are sad too.
00:35:26But we're saying we'll do as much as we can.
00:35:30Yes.
00:35:30May God bless you, teacher.
00:35:31How nice.
00:35:32Helping people, assisting others.
00:35:35Dear viewers, today on our Ramadan Joy program, we are going to Tokat.
00:35:42In Tokat, we will listen to the voice of our people.
00:35:52Worship brings a person closer to God while also providing them with inner peace.
00:36:04A person becomes more gentle as they practice their religion; their approach to people changes as a result.
00:36:16Because acts of worship instill love in us, change our perspective, and make us question ourselves.
00:36:23They question what they are doing and where they are.
00:36:27It reminds us that life is not just about eating and drinking.
00:36:31Therefore, it reminds us of our servitude to God.
00:36:35The most important of all acts of worship is prayer (salat).
00:36:38If people truly observed the proper etiquette of prayer,
00:36:45never people should do bad things, set a bad example for others,
00:36:52It is impossible for situations to arise that would cause harm to others.
00:36:59Because prayer keeps people away from all kinds of evil.
00:37:03Of course, all our acts of worship contribute to our personality.
00:37:07Prayer has its own unique characteristics, and fasting has its own unique characteristics.
00:37:12Fasting, for example, teaches us patience.
00:37:15Prayer brings us closer to our Lord.
00:37:22Dear viewers, the joy of Ramadan continues at full speed on TRT1.
00:37:28And we listened to the sounds of the street.
00:37:31We were in Tokat.
00:37:31We send them our love and greetings as well.
00:37:35Our citizens there also said that religious practices have important functions in building a person's spirituality and soul, and in revealing virtue.
00:37:45Teacher, our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) built such a virtuous society in Medina.
00:37:52And in doing so, it unleashed winds of transformation and change at a pace truly unprecedented or astonishing to humanity.
00:38:03Today, many world-renowned thinkers, writers, and politicians consistently express their admiration for his genius.
00:38:15Even if they don't believe it, they can't help but admire it.
00:38:18How did our Prophet manage to build such a society?
00:38:26First of all, from the very beginning of the processes when he first started receiving revelations, he was essentially trying to help people, the people in the region, to escape from a situation that could be described as slavery.
00:38:41He started issuing warnings.
00:38:44In other words, it's a kind of stimulus that people aren't free, and that they need to break free from this state of lack of freedom.
00:38:52In short, he first addressed the individual.
00:38:54So, from the perspective of a virtuous society, you are saying that virtue is first established in the individual, and then that virtuousness becomes continuous through habit.
00:39:04Because it's not a process that can be concluded with "I did it and it's over," it's a process that needs to be continuous, requiring the collective adoption and maintenance of a virtuous life.
00:39:14He is doing it.
00:39:15For this, virtue, as we know from philosophy, requires controlling the emotions we mentioned earlier.
00:39:27For this reason, prayer, for example, has a quality that greatly diminishes arrogance, pride, and desires in a person.
00:39:37Because you are not a single atom, a single individual, someone alone.
00:39:42There is a vast reality, a great infinity, and creativity surrounding you.
00:39:47You need to connect with that infinity in some way, you need to transcend yourself.
00:39:52Because you cannot see yourself without transcending yourself.
00:39:56So, in order for the infinite, the creator, to be able to mirror you, you need to transcend yourself.
00:40:02Because as long as you remain alone with yourself, you constantly struggle within the conflicts between your emotions and thoughts.
00:40:09It needs to get outside of it, it needs to overcome it.
00:40:12It needs to go down gradually, step by step, upwards.
00:40:14It shows the way.
00:40:15For this, first and foremost, emotional management is very important.
00:40:20Two particularly powerful emotions.
00:40:21This feeling is conveyed both through the fundamental moral principles preached via the Quran,
00:40:29These principles are never selfish, individualistic in the modern sense; the Quran does not contain those kinds of principles and rules.
00:40:37It's always the same: if your neighbor is hungry, you shouldn't sleep.
00:40:41Because it's a very smart thing to do.
00:40:46If you sleep soundly while your neighbor is starving, one day those children will be forced to steal out of hunger.
00:40:56They are subjected to harm.
00:40:58As long as you ignore these things, the society you live in will begin to degenerate, and major crimes will emerge.
00:41:05The social order is disrupted.
00:41:07Therefore, Islam, yes, primarily...
00:41:12There is both a sense of compassion here and a desire to protect social order in the long term.
00:41:18Protection, of course.
00:41:19And what we're talking about is very, very important.
00:41:21So, first of all, the Prophet Muhammad provides a character development process.
00:41:26In other words, character is about bringing together our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors into a coherent whole.
00:41:31Think of it this way: character is the roots of a tree.
00:41:35Roots attached to the soil.
00:41:37If the roots are flawed, then our personality—that is, our appearance, our branches, our fruit—can be varied.
00:41:42But if the character is flawed, the personality also becomes problematic.
00:41:46That's why Erdem Ahlaki focuses most on character development.
00:41:50As Aristotle said, we are born with a certain nature, we are born with a certain temperament.
00:41:57This is a project to create a complete human being by refining this temperament.
00:42:04Ethics of Virtue.
00:42:05Creating a self-sufficient and strong individual.
00:42:09But as we said, yes, as an individual I can succeed in living a virtuous life, a strong and free life.
00:42:16But in a society where vice is prevalent, where it is widespread, it is not very possible for me to live and survive in this way.
00:42:25Because there are many things that tempt and lead astray.
00:42:29But even so, shouldn't a Muslim strive to make himself virtuous in this sense?
00:42:36So, in other words, are religious motivations insufficient?
00:42:44Yes, that's a good question.
00:42:47If we can explain religion to people in this way, as a power that radiates from the inner world of a person,
00:42:59much more, that is, something that sprouts and overflows from within and is extremely important for humanity,
00:43:05If we can explain religion to people as a force that gives meaning to life, makes them happy, and sets them free,
00:43:12I think much more will happen, I think it will be effective.
00:43:16But when you impose religion as an external law, especially in this age of the individual, people don't like authority.
00:43:24You can see this in the new generation.
00:43:26So authority, for example, when you stand up to someone and imply that you know more than them,
00:43:33Have a conversation that evokes feelings; otherwise, they'll immediately block you.
00:43:36He doesn't like authority.
00:43:38That's why I believe religion is absolutely, extremely important.
00:43:43Yes, it has great value for the human world, along with modernity, secularization, and various other things.
00:43:49Yes, its value, both individually and socially, has unfortunately been greatly eroded.
00:43:59Why am I saying this? Perhaps I can explain it further if I get the chance.
00:44:02This process of revelation is a process that spans thousands of years and is completed with Islam.
00:44:07Religion is what shaped all of human history over these thousands of years.
00:44:12So if you go back to the Sumerians, what we call civilization, sciences, arts, all came from the sky.
00:44:21Religion is a system that originates from religion, stems from religion, and shapes life through the work of religious leaders.
00:44:28So, at that time, when religion was truly understood and internalized, it built very virtuous societies.
00:44:37So, going back from the Ottoman period and even further,
00:44:42In other words, the "Medines of Virtue" (Medina-tul Fazila) were formed, both in science and in the field of knowledge.
00:44:48In other areas as well, there are scenes that are morally upright and make us happy.
00:44:54If this isn't happening today, I think it's a problem with our understanding.
00:45:01So, I think external factors, the socio-political and cultural conditions in which we live, have a great influence.
00:45:13In what sense, I mean?
00:45:15So you can resolve to live a virtuous life.
00:45:20For example, if you find a coin that has fallen on the ground, you don't necessarily have to put it in your pocket.
00:45:27Finding the owner directly, that's a virtuous act, isn't it?
00:45:30Yes.
00:45:30This behavior actually conveys the following.
00:45:34In my own eyes, it's something that builds my self-respect and dignity.
00:45:40So if I have no self-respect,
00:45:42So if I can lie,
00:45:44If I don't keep my word,
00:45:45If I can deceive,
00:45:46This is a very weak point in my personality.
00:45:49It is an admission that I am a very, very flawed person.
00:45:53A virtuous person would not accept this.
00:45:55It's strong, it's powerful.
00:45:57He is honest, principled, and trustworthy.
00:46:01Because he didn't act according to his feelings,
00:46:02You know how to behave in different situations, and you trust them.
00:46:05But the age is provoking desire in such a way that...
00:46:12taking that money from there,
00:46:13The desire you will experience with him will drive you crazy,
00:46:16In other words, it can disrupt the balance of your mind and heart.
00:46:22Yes, it does act as a deterrent.
00:46:25Difficult.
00:46:26Therefore, I,
00:46:28that is, in humans,
00:46:30Yes, reason.
00:46:31We have a breath of God within us.
00:46:33even according to many Islamic philosophers,
00:46:37that makes us resemble God,
00:46:39The aspect of ourselves that makes us resemble God,
00:46:40because in anger,
00:46:43Desire is also related to our physical side.
00:46:45It's about our animalistic side.
00:46:47The more you invest in this side,
00:46:49to anger and desire,
00:46:51You go down so far.
00:46:54Well,
00:46:55You descend into the darkness.
00:46:57You become animalistic.
00:46:58In fact, in some cases,
00:47:00animals,
00:47:01you know,
00:47:01Because they acted instinctively,
00:47:03God gave them a code,
00:47:04with software,
00:47:06Humans can be even worse.
00:47:08Esfer-i safir, that is,
00:47:09It can be even worse than an animal.
00:47:10It can become wild.
00:47:12Well,
00:47:13you couldn't inject the gene into desire,
00:47:14You will always be addicted.
00:47:16The more addicted,
00:47:17Addiction that will not remain at one level,
00:47:19increase,
00:47:20increase,
00:47:20increase.
00:47:21This intense boredom,
00:47:23as you know,
00:47:24here's the thing,
00:47:24Chopin always sang the heavy ones,
00:47:26He says it's a big problem for the rich.
00:47:27boredom.
00:47:29to relieve this boredom,
00:47:31dissatisfaction,
00:47:32absurdity,
00:47:33as it increases,
00:47:34People are more like this,
00:47:36bloody,
00:47:37wilder,
00:47:37more perverse,
00:47:39towards things.
00:47:40Well,
00:47:40I don't know,
00:47:42since ancient times,
00:47:47Even great sages,
00:47:48even the great prophets,
00:47:51They show people this path,
00:47:52but,
00:47:53to see this road and,
00:47:55to apply,
00:47:56for some reason,
00:47:58But the path to happiness is...
00:47:59a way to set people free,
00:48:01for some reason,
00:48:02People are struggling with this.
00:48:04Why are they struggling?
00:48:06Because,
00:48:09I am stating this clearly,
00:48:10frankly,
00:48:11One,
00:48:11In Foucault's view, there is a power relationship.
00:48:14family relationship,
00:48:15through,
00:48:15up to the social aspect.
00:48:17People,
00:48:18power over each other,
00:48:19more,
00:48:20It is based on emotions.
00:48:22Well,
00:48:23for example,
00:48:23someone's,
00:48:25to anger
00:48:26that person,
00:48:27himself,
00:48:28To take away their power to govern,
00:48:30It means being able to manage.
00:48:31To seize control of someone's desires means,
00:48:34to make that person addicted,
00:48:35to manage.
00:48:37Yes,
00:48:38Today's modern vehicles,
00:48:39human beings
00:48:40That's what he did.
00:48:40to control and make dependent.
00:48:42That's what he did.
00:48:43That's why I...
00:48:44this virtuous person of religion,
00:48:46the virtuous society project,
00:48:47that it should be taken very seriously, but,
00:48:50As I said,
00:48:51Not one that is slept in from the outside either,
00:48:53with fear,
00:48:54not by making people hate it,
00:48:56by announcing the good news,
00:48:56by announcing the good news,
00:48:57by making it easier and,
00:48:58by bringing this out from within a person,
00:49:01Not by imposing it from the outside.
00:49:03Thanks.
00:49:03Professor Ahmet,
00:49:05Professor Ahmet,
00:49:06you exactly,
00:49:08on Earth,
00:49:10to these pains,
00:49:11what happened,
00:49:12serious incidents,
00:49:13You are witnessing it.
00:49:14At work,
00:49:14as my professor stated,
00:49:16he,
00:49:16violence and lust,
00:49:18your feelings,
00:49:19as a manifestation of,
00:49:20people to each other,
00:49:21both emotionally,
00:49:23while being made addicted,
00:49:24On the other hand,
00:49:25to great brutality,
00:49:27They are subjected to violence.
00:49:28And,
00:49:30To Gaza,
00:49:31mercilessly,
00:49:32without any limits,
00:49:34on people,
00:49:35Bombs are being dropped.
00:49:36Today, once again in wars,
00:49:37at work,
00:49:37170 pieces
00:49:40the student,
00:49:40with a bomb,
00:49:41They are able to destroy them.
00:49:43For aught I know,
00:49:44well,
00:49:44on Earth,
00:49:44There are many examples of this.
00:49:46Really,
00:49:46It's a very difficult situation.
00:49:48Go to those people,
00:49:49to be able to reach out,
00:49:50As Doctors of the World,
00:49:51to be able to reach them,
00:49:53What are you experiencing?
00:49:54Regarding situations like this?
00:49:56Yes,
00:49:56well,
00:49:57ours,
00:49:58the geographies we visited,
00:49:59the vast majority,
00:50:00These are actually regions where there is a war environment.
00:50:04Of these,
00:50:04at work,
00:50:05you know,
00:50:05even today, now again,
00:50:06The wars continue, but...
00:50:08Gaza,
00:50:08for a long time,
00:50:09That became our mountain.
00:50:13Actually,
00:50:14Since the 2000s,
00:50:16Since 2000,
00:50:17We are healing from that.
00:50:18Yes.
00:50:19Since we were founded,
00:50:20So we can say that.
00:50:22Previously,
00:50:23educational activities,
00:50:24aid activities,
00:50:25like organizing a conference there,
00:50:29while continuing with activities,
00:50:31with the lifting of the blockade,
00:50:33there is a permanent
00:50:36We also went down the path of establishing a clinic.
00:50:38We also took steps to set up an office there.
00:50:40And in Gaza,
00:50:42Since 2015,
00:50:44Now,
00:50:44We have always existed.
00:50:45We had an office inside,
00:50:48We now have health centers.
00:50:51even,
00:50:512003,
00:50:52We have 3 health centers,
00:50:54We had a physical therapy center.
00:50:55But in these recent events,
00:50:57They were all bombed.
00:50:58They were all destroyed.
00:51:01Last year,
00:51:02We opened a new one.
00:51:04Again,
00:51:05Our primary health services,
00:51:07Our mobile health services,
00:51:08Our physical therapy services,
00:51:10It has started again in Gaza.
00:51:13But besides,
00:51:15like in wartime situations,
00:51:17the most oppressed,
00:51:19Here are the women,
00:51:20Children are being born.
00:51:21It is Ramadan for them too.
00:51:24therefore existing,
00:51:25You know, our food distribution programs...
00:51:27Our iftar events,
00:51:29It continued to increase.
00:51:32I'd say it's doubled.
00:51:343,000 people every day,
00:51:35We are organizing an iftar (breaking of the fast) event.
00:51:37Our mobile teams are again,
00:51:38It distributes food aid.
00:51:39And even the most recent one was like this,
00:51:44We also started distributing uncooked meat.
00:51:47We are distributing water again.
00:51:49Cleanliness is also very important.
00:51:51And soon, God willing,
00:51:53again at that center of ours,
00:51:55with a polyclinic that we will establish,
00:51:58We will begin providing psychosocial support.
00:52:00We will be conducting online consultations.
00:52:02The people there,
00:52:06to alleviate their difficulties to some extent,
00:52:08We continue to do our best.
00:52:10It seems you've also faced many difficulties, sir.
00:52:13Because,
00:52:13You are opening offices,
00:52:15You are opening healthcare facilities,
00:52:17It is being bombed.
00:52:18You are losing your doctors.
00:52:20Unfortunately, such situations do occur.
00:52:23Well,
00:52:24in overcoming these difficulties,
00:52:25What is your motivation for overcoming this?
00:52:28Because it's really not easy.
00:52:30Definitely.
00:52:31Well,
00:52:33perhaps the most thing,
00:52:36The best among you,
00:52:37It is the one that benefits humanity the most.
00:52:40how much benefit you provide to a person,
00:52:42It makes that person happy.
00:52:44I think this is the most important motivation.
00:52:46Well,
00:52:46to help a person,
00:52:48helper,
00:52:48to meet a need
00:52:50to cure an illness.
00:52:51We do have an advantage, of course.
00:52:53As a physician.
00:52:54We,
00:52:55We are doing our job,
00:52:57We also receive prayers.
00:52:59We are earning merit.
00:52:59Because,
00:53:00I've experienced this many times in my own life.
00:53:04Our patients are always praying for us.
00:53:06Well,
00:53:06That's also an advantage for us.
00:53:08that's what I think.
00:53:09I,
00:53:10In 2018,
00:53:12I was in Gaza.
00:53:14In Gaza,
00:53:15at work,
00:53:15It was a camp that lasted 10 days.
00:53:17Me too,
00:53:19We went to two orthopedic surgeons.
00:53:21There,
00:53:23We performed challenging surgeries,
00:53:24Let's say me.
00:53:25Because there,
00:53:26in this kind of work,
00:53:27while the wars continue,
00:53:28extremities
00:53:29fractures,
00:53:30non-healing fractures
00:53:31crookedly fused,
00:53:32infections
00:53:33etc.
00:53:33These kinds of things happen a lot.
00:53:35We were there.
00:53:3910 big ones,
00:53:41We performed five small surgeries like this.
00:53:44We've experienced another Friday.
00:53:45At that time,
00:53:47There was a march to Gaza,
00:53:49like this,
00:53:50The young people were heading to the border.
00:53:52They were staging protest demonstrations in some way.
00:53:56Shots were being fired and,
00:53:58It was filling up urgently somehow.
00:54:00For example,
00:54:01Let me tell you about an incident that happened there.
00:54:03We,
00:54:04emergency physician who provided hospitality,
00:54:07again in these events,
00:54:09his own brother,
00:54:11He has to intervene.
00:54:13For example, the person who is telling the story,
00:54:15even deceased,
00:54:16His brother became a martyr.
00:54:18He was describing it.
00:54:19During the time we were there,
00:54:21Again in Gaza,
00:54:24We visited those places.
00:54:26For example, the thing that impressed me the most was...
00:54:29What the Republic of Türkiye is doing there,
00:54:31There was a very nice hospital.
00:54:32It wasn't fully operational at that time, though.
00:54:37It was a perfect hospital in every respect.
00:54:39Big, so beautiful.
00:54:41The last time I saw him,
00:54:42I watched a video of a bombing.
00:54:46I was very upset.
00:54:47As someone who has seen that place...
00:54:49Somehow,
00:54:50Life goes on there.
00:54:52In some way, people,
00:54:53even under these difficult circumstances,
00:54:55They are fighting for survival.
00:54:58On the one hand,
00:54:59While bombs are exploding like this,
00:55:01On the other hand, wedding processions also...
00:55:03It was happening.
00:55:04We've witnessed all of this.
00:55:06Gaza is ours.
00:55:07The bleeding wound of the Muslim community.
00:55:11Hopefully,
00:55:12as soon as possible
00:55:13I'd say there would be peace there too.
00:55:16My teacher,
00:55:17of course,
00:55:18He is in Gaza,
00:55:19the landscapes we saw,
00:55:20It's really terrifying.
00:55:21Well,
00:55:22to be explained,
00:55:24even expressing it,
00:55:26difficult.
00:55:26But for example,
00:55:27at work,
00:55:28your child,
00:55:29at work,
00:55:30in the hospital,
00:55:32picking it up,
00:55:34trying to keep it alive
00:55:35into bags,
00:55:36filling in the parts,
00:55:38him,
00:55:39at work,
00:55:40As we could see from the cameras.
00:55:42Well,
00:55:42For you too, indeed.
00:55:44Do such scenes occur?
00:55:46during the studies?
00:55:48This is a very difficult situation.
00:55:50Of course,
00:55:50well,
00:55:50war environments,
00:55:52He's open to these kinds of things.
00:55:53Well,
00:55:53even,
00:55:54I mean, I didn't witness it.
00:55:55But you must have seen it in the news too.
00:55:58Amputations were performed without anesthesia.
00:56:01In Gaza.
00:56:01The children's feet were cut off.
00:56:02Because,
00:56:03It is needed, though.
00:56:05It's impossible.
00:56:07Again,
00:56:08For example, in our recent period,
00:56:10As Doctors of the World,
00:56:12these events of October 7th,
00:56:14in the beginning,
00:56:16trapped under bombs
00:56:18one of our daughters,
00:56:20We brought them here.
00:56:21We performed the surgery.
00:56:23Even,
00:56:23I did it myself.
00:56:24these surgeries.
00:56:26First,
00:56:27like this,
00:56:28Bombing is happening,
00:56:29Your leg is broken too,
00:56:30a sciatic nerve area is formed,
00:56:33There is a head injury.
00:56:34But the opportunities are there,
00:56:36Not enough.
00:56:37Well,
00:56:38He will perform the brain surgery.
00:56:39There are no opportunities.
00:56:40It will detect the fracture,
00:56:41Resources are insufficient.
00:56:44And somehow,
00:56:45you know,
00:56:46To Egypt,
00:56:46And,
00:56:47From there, he goes to Algeria.
00:56:49This is our patient.
00:56:50We'll take it,
00:56:51We completed his treatment here.
00:56:54It turned out great!
00:56:55of course,
00:56:55We were happy.
00:56:56We ask him,
00:56:58Are you going again?
00:57:00You know,
00:57:00His treatment is now finished.
00:57:02They say they're going.
00:57:03Well,
00:57:04One such person,
00:57:05There is a connection.
00:57:06Of course.
00:57:07Belief,
00:57:08They don't want land.
00:57:09In their lands,
00:57:09in their lands,
00:57:09in their lands,
00:57:10in their resistance.
00:57:11Dear viewers,
00:57:12Iftar time for Ankara,
00:57:14It's imminent.
00:57:15Allahu Akbar,
00:57:16Allahu Akbar.
00:57:16It was read.
00:57:17May our iftar be blessed.
00:57:19May our Lord accept your fasting.
00:57:22Enjoy your meal, sir/madam.
00:57:24Dear viewers,
00:57:25On TRT1 screens,
00:57:26Ramadan Joy program,
00:57:28It continues at full speed.
00:57:29We got the time for breaking the fast from Ankara.
00:57:32They are currently at their dinner tables,
00:57:34Our beautiful Ankara,
00:57:36The people of our capital city,
00:57:38He is breaking his fast.
00:57:39They are experiencing that joy.
00:57:40In other parts of our country,
00:57:43all around,
00:57:44about to experience this joy,
00:57:46and our citizens who will live there,
00:57:49again in peace,
00:57:50with awe,
00:57:51They are waiting in a state of ecstasy.
00:57:53Hopefully all of us, one by one,
00:57:55We will attain that joy.
00:57:57In our studio too,
00:57:59I have very valuable teachers.
00:58:00Professor Abdüllatif,
00:58:02I'd say let's continue from where we left off.
00:58:04But I'd like to ask something.
00:58:06Our values are what make us who we are.
00:58:09And through these values,
00:58:12We need to establish a foundation of virtue in society.
00:58:16To put it more concretely,
00:58:19How can we be virtuous?
00:58:24Actually,
00:58:27selfishness,
00:58:29selfishness,
00:58:30consciously abandoning
00:58:32which is a situation that requires discipline,
00:58:36all of us,
00:58:37liberation,
00:58:38your happiness
00:58:39your kindness
00:58:41capable of turning it into a character,
00:58:43thinking this
00:58:44And they can make this a habit,
00:58:46If only we could be human,
00:58:51I always see it this way, for example:
00:58:54You know, people are most tested by their desires.
00:58:58He is tested by his lust,
00:59:01For example, one of the Prophet Muhammad's sayings...
00:59:03As you know, Hazrat Omar...
00:59:05He sees him lying on a straw prayer mat,
00:59:09themselves,
00:59:11Then tears stream from her eyes.
00:59:13This is a known fact,
00:59:15The Prophet sees him,
00:59:16why are you crying,
00:59:18And he says,
00:59:20You're leaving, aren't you?
00:59:21Kayseri and this and that,
00:59:24great powers,
00:59:25You brought them to their knees, though.
00:59:27on the mat,
00:59:29There is something that the Prophet (peace be upon him) always said,
00:59:32hereafter,
00:59:33last,
00:59:34The end of things,
00:59:35Always,
00:59:36from this worldly life,
00:59:37from the pleasures of this world,
00:59:39out of greed,
00:59:39from his desire,
00:59:41because it is better
00:59:43He's talking about a higher level of pleasure,
00:59:46a higher level of pleasure,
00:59:47Because,
00:59:48You ate a meal,
00:59:49you enjoyed it,
00:59:50But also,
00:59:52Really,
00:59:53like my teachers did,
00:59:54going to a country,
00:59:56without expecting anything in return,
00:59:57to be able to touch a person,
00:59:59to be able to change a person's life,
01:00:01to be able to contribute to his well-being,
01:00:03as it is mentioned in a hadith,
01:00:07while someone is trying to sink the ship
01:00:09to stop it and repair the ship,
01:00:11the life of humanity,
01:00:12to develop and improve,
01:00:15enrich
01:00:17Lasting happiness,
01:00:18This is what makes sense,
01:00:20That's why I've always seen the same thing,
01:00:23For example, again,
01:00:24It is one of the things that impressed me the most.
01:00:26By the way, I'm not an enemy of wealth or anything like that.
01:00:28of course,
01:00:30As long as it is used in the name of humanity,
01:00:32all abilities,
01:00:33skills
01:00:34riches,
01:00:35Everything is actually given to us temporarily,
01:00:37These are entrusted to us, in other words.
01:00:38It exists today,
01:00:39There is no tomorrow.
01:00:39able to use what is entrusted to them well,
01:00:41He wins eternity,
01:00:42unable to use,
01:00:44He leaves with what he ate.
01:00:46I think so,
01:00:47Therefore, the good deed we do,
01:00:50It is actually a favor we do for ourselves.
01:00:52the evil we do,
01:00:53It is always a harm we do to ourselves.
01:00:55when we become aware of this,
01:00:57when we become aware of this,
01:00:59I think we will lead a much more conscious life.
01:01:01But then a question comes to my mind, sir,
01:01:04So we're all in the same boat.
01:01:07So, the damage we inflict on the atmosphere in the world,
01:01:10as we all breathe
01:01:13It affects your health.
01:01:14that is, the actions we take,
01:01:16Does it only bind us?
01:01:18So, there's a ship there, you know...
01:01:21One passenger is trying to make a hole on his own accord,
01:01:24There's that famous example, you know,
01:01:25So then the whole ship will sink,
01:01:28So that's why every person does it,
01:01:32the good or bad consequences of actions,
01:01:34Isn't this something that affects all societies?
01:01:39That's why our religion always says,
01:01:40He emphasizes this a lot.
01:01:42In other words, the exposure of evil,
01:01:44He wants us to try to prevent its spread.
01:01:48Emre bin Maruf.
01:01:49Emre bin Maruf, yes.
01:01:50It is important in this sense.
01:01:52So, if we look at it from this perspective,
01:01:53How accurate is it to think that an individual only harms themselves?
01:01:58It's not just harming ourselves.
01:02:00As I said, when I criticize individualistic culture,
01:02:02I always say this about this era.
01:02:04So even on a person's own genes,
01:02:08which, as you know, is passed down through genes, generation by generation,
01:02:10even the things it does to genes,
01:02:13You can see the impact it has on other people's lives.
01:02:17In other words, as it is said in individualistic culture,
01:02:20This life belongs only to me.
01:02:21It concerns me.
01:02:22I don't owe anyone anything.
01:02:24I have no rights or entitlements from anyone.
01:02:25everything and all that,
01:02:26Saying "it concerns me" isn't quite accurate.
01:02:29This is related to that thing,
01:02:32That's very selfish.
01:02:34If only humans could grasp the thing,
01:02:36Ultimately, no matter how much of an individual I am,
01:02:41what makes me who I am,
01:02:43sun,
01:02:44weather,
01:02:45soil,
01:02:46Other people helped me to gain my identity.
01:02:48So I,
01:02:49everything outside of me,
01:02:50Something that defines my existence.
01:02:52This means,
01:02:53with the one who created me,
01:02:54with the creator's world,
01:02:56When I can't integrate,
01:02:58I couldn't connect with,
01:02:59When I can't form healthy relationships,
01:03:01I don't understand.
01:03:03An extremely selfish and narcissistic culture is emerging.
01:03:06People are emerging who make their whims and desires their gods.
01:03:08These are,
01:03:09The most dangerous people in the world.
01:03:12Yes.
01:03:12Therefore, religion again,
01:03:13very important.
01:03:16My teacher,
01:03:18I am sorry.
01:03:18If you say,
01:03:19Please, go ahead.
01:03:19I am very sorry.
01:03:20A hadith,
01:03:21This is a hadith that I love very much.
01:03:22Again, the Prophet Muhammad,
01:03:24Sometimes, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said,
01:03:25He asks the Prophet for something,
01:03:27He/She wants advice,
01:03:28He says, "show the way."
01:03:28Be a guide, then.
01:03:29In this world and in the hereafter, to me,
01:03:31Can you show me the way to happiness?
01:03:33Please, he says.
01:03:34To the Prophet's wife.
01:03:35And he says,
01:03:36Even if you had a room full of gold,
01:03:39This is a well-known hadith, as you know.
01:03:41Leave enough to last you three days.
01:03:46If you have debt, pay it.
01:03:47Distribute the rest entirely to those in need.
01:03:51Yes.
01:03:52Well,
01:03:54happiness,
01:03:55As they keep saying today,
01:03:57continuous area,
01:03:59There's no such thing as being happy by consuming.
01:04:02Humanity is running out.
01:04:04It is being depleted through consumption.
01:04:05It is increasingly pushing the limits of life.
01:04:08Yes.
01:04:09By producing,
01:04:10by giving,
01:04:11by developing something,
01:04:13In Islam, as you know,
01:04:14It must have held up.
01:04:14The most important thing about the Caliphate is...
01:04:16It is urban planning.
01:04:18It makes life more beautiful.
01:04:19That's also the most important function of religion.
01:04:21That's how it is in the eyes of the public.
01:04:22Thanks.
01:04:23Professor Ahmet,
01:04:24There is a Hızır project.
01:04:25As far as I know.
01:04:27Also on TRT screens,
01:04:29This documentary is being broadcast.
01:04:31I believe you have also contributed.
01:04:32Let's talk about this a little.
01:04:34Of course.
01:04:34This year, TRT1 accompanied the volunteer doctors in their health mobilization.
01:04:41The TRT1 documentary team also visited the regions where our volunteer medical teams went, to observe the conditions of the patients there and to understand the realities of that country.
01:04:52He documented the general situation in a documentary.
01:04:56It's currently live.
01:04:58Actually, the first episode was about Tanzania.
01:05:00So it's attracting a lot of attention.
01:05:02There's a new episode tomorrow.
01:05:03The viewership is also good.
01:05:05So, they are being monitored.
01:05:07Another episode of Ethiopia will air tomorrow.
01:05:10It airs every Sunday at 10:30 AM on TRT1.
01:05:16We recommend it to our audience.
01:05:18Let them watch.
01:05:18These wonderful examples of patients accompanied us on our travels through beautiful landscapes and the places we saw.
01:05:24We thank TRT very much.
01:05:26Yes, of course, public support is very important in these matters.
01:05:31Are you creating a story there?
01:05:34These are mostly things we already do all the time, actually.
01:05:37So what we're doing is, we're forming a team.
01:05:40It takes months of research, and we often travel to that region to perform sophisticated surgeries that cannot be done there.
01:05:49Cataracts are one of them.
01:05:51But surgical specialties are more prevalent.
01:05:55For example, Tanzania had a women's health team.
01:06:00The next one had a urology team.
01:06:03Now, the orthopedic team has patients whose cases will be broadcast from Ethiopia.
01:06:09Actually, TRT did this.
01:06:12Essentially, he tried to show our audience what we always do, but from a patient's perspective.
01:06:18Professor, by the way, all our doctors are watching and following you.
01:06:23So how is it possible to volunteer?
01:06:25Do you have anything to say to them?
01:06:27Do you have an invitation in this regard?
01:06:29To this wonderful volunteer organization.
01:06:31Of course, volunteering is actually a virtue, perhaps I should put it that way.
01:06:36Kindness is contagious, kindness heals.
01:06:40These are our mottos.
01:06:41Our doctors, physicians, and healthcare professionals who want to volunteer.
01:06:46They can enter their information by clicking the volunteer button on our website.
01:06:53We also invite people from that list when needed, our professors.
01:06:58So you want to see them among you too.
01:07:00Definitely.
01:07:01Thanks.
01:07:02Professor Dr. Abdüllatif Tüzer, a faculty member at Eskişehir Osman Gazi University Faculty of Theology, was with us.
01:07:10Once again, Professor Dr. Ahmet Salduz, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Doctors of the World.
01:07:15Thank you very much, sir.
01:07:17You have honored us with your presence.
01:07:18Our time is up.
01:07:20God willing, we will all work together hand in hand to create a good society, a virtuous society, and we believe that this will ultimately happen.
01:07:34We hope this will be an opportunity during the holy month of Ramadan.
01:07:37Hopefully.
01:07:37Thank you again for your support.
01:07:39There's not much time left until Iftar in Istanbul.
01:07:42If you wish, let's say a short prayer before heading towards the Istanbul iftar.
01:07:46Amine.
01:07:47Praise be to Allah, praise be to Allah, praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
01:07:52And salatu wa salamu ala Resulina Muhammedin ve ala alihi ve sahabihi ecmain.
01:07:57O Lord, make us among those whom You are pleased with. In this blessed time, we present to You many beautiful feelings and desires that we cannot express in words.
01:08:08we are doing.

01:08:23The time for prayers for Istanbul is over.
01:08:27We say, "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds."
