The Shaykh was talking to some Turkish men at the breaktact table. I was able to join near the end and I heard him saying: “You cannot enter the majfis, (the Grand National Assembly) without a tie. They invented the tie to represent the cross of Jesus Christ. They force us to wear it. It is to represent the crucifixion of Jesus
Christ. Well, in reality he was not crucified. Then they say her scarf represents ‘that’ [they

One lady, with tears in her eyes, was telling the Shaykh about her different problems and asking for du’a (a prayer). Then she said that her niece, a 15 year old girl, committed suicide. The young girl, the daughter of a bank director, took her father’s gun and shot herself. The lady was asking if she will be punished.
The Shaykh answered: “No, she did not do it on purpose. If somebody hangs himself, he will be hanged all the time up to the Judgment Day. If somebody cuts himself then he will be cut up to the Day of Judgment. If he shoots himself then he will be shot up to the Day of Judgment. If he burns himself he will be burned up to the Day of Judgment. If he drowns himself then he
will be drowned every day up to the Day of Judgment.”

The Shaykh was talking to some Turkish men at the breaktact table. I was able to join near the end and I heard him saying: “You cannot enter the majfis, (the Grand National Assembly) without a tie. They invented the tie to represent the cross of Jesus Christ. They force us to wear it. It is to represent the crucifixion of Jesus
Christ. Well, in reality he was not crucified. Then they say her scarf represents ‘that’ [they
complain about Muslim women Wweating a headcovering| but look, what does the tie represent?”

One lady, with tears in her eyes, was telling the Shaykh about her different problems and asking for du’a (a prayer). Then she said that her niece, a 15 year old girl, committed suicide. The young girl, the daughter of a bank director, took her father’s gun and shot herself. The lady was asking if she will be punished.
The Shaykh answered: “No, she did not do it on purpose. If somebody hangs himself, he will be hanged all the time up to the Judgment Day. If somebody cuts himself then he will be cut up to the Day of Judgment. If he shoots himself then he will be shot up to the Day of Judgment. If he burns himself he will be burned up to the Day of Judgment. If he drowns himself then he
will be drowned every day up to the Day of Judgment.”
