The Soul and Satan: How to Break Free, Reach Allah, and Find True Happiness

Dear brothers and sisters, of course our conference will continue with love. But first perhaps many of you listening to us are wondering what exactly is love? What kind of feeling is it? Where is it located in me? Can I hold it in my hand? Maybe many such questions are crossing your minds. So in order for you to best understand the answers to these questions, we need to look at how Allah created you. Allah the Almighty. In verse 26 of Surah Al-Hijr, it is stated that we created the human's physical body from salsal, a dry clay, and from molded mud. This physical body is the form Allah has given us so that we can live this worldly life. It is made of flesh and bone, equipped with internal organs, shaped by the brain, and operates under the command of the mind. This is the field of expertise for doctors. But my dear brothers and sisters, human beings are not just made up of their physical bodies. Within the physical body, we have a soul that belongs to the realm of the souls. In verse 7 of Surah Ash-Shams, Allah the Almighty says, "We have designed the human being with a soul." There are 19 vices in the spiritual heart of our soul. Grudge and hatred, disbelief, lying, injustice and oppression, envy and hostility, ignorance, stinginess, anger and rage, rebellion, impatience, arrogance and pride, greed and lust, ingratitude, gossip, suspicion, bad habits, disloyalty, hypocrisy, discord and corruption. Dear brothers and sisters, the source of all the problems you may experience in the life of this world is the vices of your own soul. What poisons your lives in this world are these vices in the spiritual heart of your soul. It is also these vices that, together with Satan, lead us to hell. In short, do not look for the fault outside. Always look for the fault within yourself. We have two enemies. One is our own soul, the vices of our soul. The other is our enemy Satan, who 100% influences and uses these vices. Yes, but how can this creature called Satan take control of us? We will explain this to you, God willing, within the framework of the verses. What is the goal? The goal is first and foremost to remove Satan from our lives. How is this possible? Through continuous dhikr. After that, after that, to become a servant most worthy of our Lord at the highest level, to remove Satan from our lives through purification of the soul, because Satan only influences the soul. Now I want to share the verse with you. Surah Ibrahim 22. After everything is over, Satan says, "Allah's promise was true." Oh people, whatever Allah told you, He told you the truth. But I also told you some things. I always lied to you. But I had no power, no authority over you. I had no strength. I only invited you. I sent you invitations to the vices of your soul, and you accepted my invitation. So do not blame me. Blame yourselves. So dear brothers and sisters, as you can see, even Satan, yes, even the enemy Satan, has no real power over us. So all the troubles we experience in this world, what comes after death, hell and so on. In other words, unrest and unhappiness in this world, going to torment and hell in the hereafter. The only reason for this is us humans. This stems from our not learning Allah's teachings and, even when we do, not living by them or putting them into practice in our lives. So you who are listening to us, esteemed one, dear guests, beloved brothers and sisters, today is that day for you. What day is it? It is the day to be with Allah. What day is it? They once asked the saint of Allah, "What are you occupied with?" He said, "We sever and we bind." So today is the day for your severing from Satan and your binding to Allah. How will it happen? I am giving you the key right now. A wish from your heart to reach Allah. To all the brothers and sisters listening to me right now, the very moment you sincerely wish to reach Allah, your bond with Satan begins to sever. The very moment you sincerely wish to reach Allah from your heart, you are directly bound to Allah. You are entering Allah's internet. So what do you have to lose? My dear brothers and sisters, Allah is your friend. Satan is your enemy. To be saved from the enemy and to connect with the true friend is just a wish away. Wish from your heart to reach Allah. We have a third body. The spirit that has been breathed into us from the essence of Allah. And as Allah says in verse 9 of Surah As-Sajdah, "We breathed into the human from Our spirit." Our spirit is a trust from Allah to us. There are 19 virtues within our spirit. So when people start living the life of this world, they are in balance. There are 19 virtues in our spirit, in the heart of our spirit. There are also 19 vices in the heart of our soul. But my dear brothers and sisters, if you read the Quran, you will see that after Iblis rebelled against the command to prostrate, Allah expelled him from His presence and sent him to the world. Allah casts Iblis out, sends him to the world, casts him out and exiles him. Adam, the most beloved creation of Allah, a human being, is given the glad tidings of paradise by Allah and placed in paradise. Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 35. "Oh Adam, you and your wife, both of you, enter paradise." "Eat and drink from wherever you wish, but do not approach this tree." "Otherwise, you will be among the wrongdoers." But after a while, through Iblis and his words, Adam, peace be upon him, and his wife ate from that tree in paradise. And Allah the Almighty said, "Oh Adam, did I not tell you that Satan is an enemy to you?" "You did, my Lord." "Did I not tell you not to eat from this tree?" "You did, my Lord." "Then why did you do it?" "We praise and give thanks." The answer given by our father Adam is as follows: "I have wronged my own soul." "If You do not forgive me, do not have mercy on me and do not pardon me, I will be among the losers." So my dear brothers and sisters, in this worldly life, there is the option to display the attitude of Adam, in every situation always looking for the fault within ourselves and seeking refuge in our Lord and thus living happily in this world, or with a devilish attitude like Iblis, blaming others, putting the blame on them, making them pay the price, and with this satanic behavior going to hell along with him. I believe that today is a turning point for you. What do we lose if we sincerely wish to reach Allah from the heart? If sincerely wishing to reach Him is a secret of the Quran and of the universe. And if this wish binds me to Allah, then I too want to be with my Lord. Then Allah Almighty will open all the doors for you one by one. With what will He open them? With His name Ar-Rahman. He will open all the doors in the apparent world for you. With what will He open them? With His names, Ar-Rahman, the Most Gracious, and Ar-Rahim, the Most Merciful. Our Lord who opens the doors of the universe to you will one day, after the surrender of your will, show you His essence and make you the possessor of the final question
