He went to the mosque, making wudu and praying. When it was evening, he was so sorry that for three days he had brought nothing, and he went out. And he took out his mandil, handkerchief, and he took sand, very fine sand, from the floor of the mosque, putting it and saying, "I can go, tak ing this. If she asks, I can say, T have brought daqiq, flour.'" He took it and went home and knocked at the door, and slowly he put that handkerchief full of sand behind the door. And his wife came to the door, so happy, so happy, and there was a good smell of food, everything, and his wife

never in need. Therefore I am asking you, "Which boss can give you, if you work for him, more than the Lord of Heav ens? 0 people, you are such foolish ones!"
And most people, if you ask, "Do you pray?" they say [parodies], "No. No time for me to pray."
"What do you do?" "I work, I work hard." "And for your Lord, no time?"
"What happened?"
What does your boss give to you? Only what is enough
"0 my husband, you worked three days for such a rich

"I opened it and it was full of gold! I took only one piece and went to market, and with one gold piece I loaded a donkey. I brought everything, I can do everything now.

Io eat and drink, and to pay money for the rent. Yes. The most honoured work for mankind, what is that? To work ■a away from for their Lord! But people are so foolish, running their Lord and asking for money or whatever they are in need of from others who may be the richest ones. But that one may sleep as the richest one and when morning comes, not even one euro, one dollar. Finished, bankrupt!
People are foolish! In 2004, the twenty-first century's people are not thinking about this point—that we must work, we must be workers only for our Lord.

What about mankind? What is this, that people are running away from their Lord? Who else can give to them? If He does not send our provisions from Heavens, who can give to us from the earth, because, if provision does not come from Heavens, everything on earth is going to be dry and finish. If no rains come, no life.
Therefore, 0 people, think about it! Think about it, be cause it is so important for you, for your life, for your con tentment, for you honour, for your future, for your eternal life. Try to take more care of your Lord's service. Work for Him!

We don't care. We can escape!" And on the morning of the first day they said, "Oh, oh! We must not stay here, we must escape. Even though Mo ses is saying that we have been imprisoned here no! We must find a way to get out." And they began from the right

gan to walk. That means that it was the wrong direction Tomorrow we shall follow another way."
On the second day, going from that way, going, going and in the evening coming from that side to the same place They said, "Tomorrow, we must go like this." Going going going; at sunset coming to the same place each day, till all of them had died and were buried in that area, that desert, not one remaining of those who refused the holy command of Allah Almighty. All of them passed away and were buried. Even Moses U® was buried there. And Allah Almighty sent Yusha6 to the new generation that did not carry the re sponsibility of their fathers, and he took them away from there. They were in safety. I am saying, "No work for them except to walk, till no one remained of those people. They never sat, but Allah Almighty sent provisions. When they came, they found their supper or breakfast ready and ate, Allah Almighty granting His 'ataf,7 favors, to those disobedient servants. Then what if you are taking care of His servanthood? Is He going to lose you or forget you? It is impossible!
Therefore, 0 people, try to work for your Lord, Al mighty Allah, and everything is going to be in the best way. If not, everything is going to be in the worst way. Now people are in the worst situation, and it is impossible to be saved from that bad situation till they come to work for their Lord.

That is their idea or main aim.

Those who are keeping heavenly rules from the begin ning, their physical being supports that person, even if he

Therefore, two old persons, one growing older keeping heavenly rules, his physical being is one thing, while anoth er who never took care about heavenly rules, his body is just destroyed because the power of the body, physical being, is in full relationship with our souls, and souls give spiritual power. Spiritual strength is with those who keep heavenly rules, and their bodies must be powerful.

They are doing as they did in the younger period of their lives, going on that way. It is not a heavy burden.

Only a few are getting out free and saving themselves, but the majority are looking at what Shaytan's rules are telling them and fol lowing them. Shaytan's rules say, "Run after dunya," and so many billions were just running after dunya and taking nothing with them. They left everything and went, they passed away. For what are you urging me to run after dunya? To reach all treasures, what is the meaning? If anyone was able to carry the treasures of dunya, they would find nothing.

On the second day, going from that way, going, going and in the evening coming from that side to the same place They said, "Tomorrow, we must go like this." Going going going; at sunset coming to the same place each day, till all of them had died and were buried in that area, that desert, not one remaining of those who refused the holy command of Allah Almighty. All of them passed away and were buried. Even Moses U® was buried there. And Allah Almighty sent Yusha6 to the new generation that did not carry the re sponsibility of their fathers, and he took them away from there. They were in safety. I am saying, "No work for them except to walk, till no one remained of those people. They never sat, but Allah Almighty sent provisions. When they came, they found their supper or breakfast ready and ate, Allah Almighty granting His 'ataf,7 favors, to those disobedient servants. Then what if you are taking care of His servanthood? Is He going to lose you or forget you? It is impossible!
Therefore, 0 people, try to work for your Lord, Al mighty Allah, and everything is going to be in the best way. If not, everything is going to be in the worst way. Now people are in the worst situation, and it is impossible to be saved from that bad situation till they come to work for their Lord.

Therefore, two old persons, one growing older keeping heavenly rules, his physical being is one thing, while anoth er who never took care about heavenly rules, his body is just destroyed because the power of the body, physical being, is in full relationship with our souls, and souls give spiritual power. Spiritual strength is with those who keep heavenly rules, and their bodies must be powerful.

For what are you urging me to run after dunya? To reach all treasures, what is the meaning? If anyone was able to carry the treasures of dunya, they would find nothing.
