remembrance

Turkish people are known with their faith in God. Takbir (praising God) is food for our souls. Hearts find peace by praising God.

Those who do not mention God, who distance themselves from God feel a sense of agitation and tension; a groundless sense of fear, a considerable anxiety. God afflicts them with restlessness.

Muslims talk about God wherever they are. Life and religion are intertwined. One remembers God while he is having a bath, while he is eating and he talks about God wherever they are and in any event. There is not a moment, not a place in their lives that they do not remember God. One should see that he can live comfortably live with the Qur'an, read the Qur'an very easily, wherever he is. The Qur'an will be with you wherever you go, the Qur'an will be right by your side when you go to bed and you will remember God when you are in bed as well.

Some people get into a weird romanticism, a weird state of mind when one talks about religion. God should be remembered with a rational attitude.

Being slack in talking about God is an unlawful act. This is an affliction upon the Muslim world. They do not feel the need to preach religion. They say, "There is the Religious Affairs Directorate and they are doing this anyway. Why should we preach religion?" The fact is, however, preaching religion is a religious duty upon all Muslims.

The US used to praise God's name profusely and it used to be rich. They started to grovel when they started to invoke God's name less and less. Russia used to invoke God's name less and they were groveling. Now they've started to talk about God and God gave them a little relief.
