Former President of Religious Affairs and President of the Institute of Islamic Thought. Dr. Mehmet Görmez answered Mehmet Akif Ersoy’s questions in a special interview on Habertürk TV.
“A LETTER FOR 11 MONTHS”
Noting that this year’s Ramadan is different, Görmez said: “Ramadan is such a wonderful opportunity that we have an opportunity to turn sadness into happiness, have mercy on deprivation, and turn our muhahaan into freedom and accounting in a comfortable way. Let us leave ourselves to the healing hands of Ramadan. ” Görmez said that “Ramadan is not just fasting. The Koran is at the heart of Ramadan. It is also the feast of fulfilling the blessing of the Koran.” That the Messenger of Allah did tarawih at home, Hz. Recalling that he returned to mass worship during Ömer’s reign, Görmez declared that Ramadan was a school and said: “Ramadan is not just fasting the stomach; it is not fasting to the eyes, the tongue, the ear, the heart or the mind. There is no teaching, no gossip, no gossip. School is, “he said. Görmez continued as follows:
“FINGERS MUST KEEP QUICK”
“With digitization, we need a new kind of fast: finger fasting. Because our old books speak of fasting in the language. But now we have begun to write this mockery, humiliation, and sometimes insult, blasphemy. It has been established a world of digital screens with digitization. ” The person who is forced to rebuild, the person who is the thinking being has become a passive audience in front of these screens. It is necessary to think about what has been taken from us. There is what they have gained, but it is necessary to think about what they have taken from us. A heart has a perception.
“VISUAL SOVEREIGNTY URAKIN”
However, with digitization, we are condemned to the visual domain. Everything about visuality, the value of the word and the word fell. We are sending messages with signs (emoji). However, the names descend from heaven. When visual perception prevails, the perception of the mind weakens, the perception of the heart dies. Especially if these images contain evils that darken the soul of humanity, perhaps it will become the greatest evil that can be done to humanity. Mastering this visual understanding is detrimental. We are in a really difficult time. We monitor the number of cases of our siblings who die from screens every day. We were doomed to the house, but we didn’t take a break, the polarization on those fingers continues and the teasing continues. ”
“THE GREAT SIN WITH BREAKING”
He said, “What if we take a break during the pandemic period in the Ramadan climate of Ramadan, in which we all begin to think with common feelings and anxieties.” We act very comfortably because no one breaks the fast. We write very comfortably. It is a new situation for human beings. In fact, humans can open up a new area of reward with this. But we are turning this into a new evil area for ourselves. We polarize, we shouldn’t do that. “
“QUARANTINE IN HEARTS”
Noting that the most important goal of the Ramadan school is freedom, Görmez continued: “What human beings should fight after faith is freedom. But freedom is not just about using our hands, our arms, our language comfortably. Islamic moral philosophers divided freedom into three. Body-body freedom, political-civil freedom and conscientious moral freedom. We cannot partially use the body on crown days. Civil liberty expresses our free use of the rights we acquire later. Freedom of moral conscience is to eliminate quarantines in hearts. The largest quarantine is the quarantine of hearts. It is the closing of hearts to good. “
“YOUTH QUESTIONS QUESTIONS”
Görmez said that religious discourse has strayed from wisdom from time to time and that young people’s questions cannot be answered: “How and why are young people present and right? ask for the cure of ignorance. It seems unfair to criticize the questions and questions of young people. In fact, I evaluated the young people’s questions as an attitude of Abraham. Hz. Abraham is both the prophet of Tawhid and the expression of a Quran Ummah alone. But one day he says to our Lord, “God, show me how you raise the dead.” Our Lord’s answer is “Don’t you believe it?” Hz. “I think, but I want my heart to be mutmain,” says Ibrahim. Today’s young generation says: Actually, I think my mind is mutmain. “
“Instead of understanding these questions …”
Görmez, who noted that the teachers of the teachers, said: “It is not enough to describe and explain our worship. It is not enough to explain the conditions of form. We have to explain each worship in a way that he can understand. Our publications and knowledge are lacking in this regard. Instead of understanding this type of youth questioning, we break with a wand and begin to complain that atheism, deism, and nihilism have increased. We also started advertising these ideologies. There is no such problem. The problem is that young generations have new questions and questions about religion. This is an Abrahamic attitude. We need to find an intelligent answer to the questions making this an opportunity. “
“WHY SHOULD I HAVE BAD”
Claiming that young people have difficulty explaining evil, Görmez said: “They are in question as follows: since there is Allah, since Allah has absolute justice. Since God has absolute will. So why is there so much evil in the world? There were evils in the past, but in the past, that evil did not fall on every young person’s phone every second. ” He said that evil is always seen before good.
“His anger turns to Islam”
Görmez continued as follows: “If those who do this evil are Muslims and the Muslims who do these evils do this evil using Allah … We have seen this in FETUS, we have seen it in DEAŞ. The unknown structure, whose names are known, revealed this. A wound is opened in the conscience of young people. We must fear two things about the domain of evil, one is a wound of conscience and another is a wound of conscience. If the injuries are formed by Muslims, the youth’s anger turns towards religion and Islam in his person. We must first know that we are causing this. How we treat it is clear. First, there must be an Islamic world away from these evils. “
“COMMON EXPIRATION EVALUATIONS”
Recalling the discussions that the coronavirus epidemic was a punishment, Görmez said: “I am sorry that the first evaluations seemed very bad to me. I don’t mean Turkey. Turkey has been moving a lot in the teenni, “he said. In the Islamic world,” Allah sent us this punishment. Noticing that the virus is an invisible army of God, “said Görmez,” he was very scared and uncomfortable. We overcame our limits When we say, “This is what happened to us because of what the sinful taif did,” it is the evaluations that make Allah forget the title of the womb and the womb.
“INCORRECT TIME LITERATURE”
Recalling that such events are not lacking in human life, Görmez said: “The Koran treats them as verses. The verse means sign. There are signs in this for clairvoyants. There are signs for intellectuals. Therefore, when we understand it as a verse and read it as a lesson, the lessons are different. Everyone can take their own lesson. The Koran offers us this world of rich meanings. It is wrong for us to leave Sunnah and understand it in the End Times literature. It is impossible to understand the coronavirus incident that comes to us with lost knowledge by separating the verse that God sent to humanity with the verses that he placed in the universe ”.
“SCIENCE EXPLAINS, RELIGION MEANS”
Referring to the discussions on science, Görmez made the following comments: “Science explains, philosophy and the social sciences make people think and religion makes sense. Islam views science as the interpretation of the verses that Allah placed in the universe. He sees it as part of Sunnah. He sees the mind and contemplation as the greatest bestowal that he has given man. Therefore, we Muslims cannot distinguish science, philosophy, and religion. Sometimes we neglect science while rejecting positivism.
“WHEN I NEGOTIATE SECULARISM …”
In trying to understand the relationship between religion and humans, we sometimes confront religious and humans. To reject the human-centered world ideology that ignores humanism, the creator, we sometimes humiliate the human, this. Second, in establishing the relationship between religion and the world, we humiliate the world by saying that I reject secularism, that it ignores worldliness, the hereafter, and that the world consists of the world. We bring the world with religion.
SCIENCE AND RELIGION COMPETITION
One thing we face is religion and science. When I reject science, I reject positivism and materialism. I also reject the ideology that degrades the body to the body, ignores the metaphysical realm that reduces existence to physics, and dismisses the human being from his vast world and condemns him only to the world of physics. Scientism is ideology. Nature is Muslim. Everything that exists on earth and in heaven has surrendered to God. “
“THE ISLAMIC WORLD DIDN’T MAKE THE SAME ACCOUNT”
Görmez, who gave an example from the Presidency of Religious Affairs, said: “I worked seven years, I couldn’t start the Islamic world in Ramadan the same day and deliver it the same day. “I have put a bead on the sun and the moon,” which Allah expressly stated in the Quran. It is up to you to read that account. The deterioration of the unity of the sciences in our civilization is one of the first steps that distances us from unity. Naturally, the separation of the religious and religious sciences from each other is actually the first great step in eliminating the unity of the sciences from real unity. Since mathematics is a religious science, the interpretation of the verses that Allah sends with the Koran is a very religious science. “
“IT IS FIRST TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF LIFE”
Noting that the Islamic world gave a good test of the coronavirus epidemic, Görmez continued as follows. “Muslims close mosques and the Kaaba in a very short time … By taking this step it shows that we have begun to understand fiqh well. They explained that guaranteeing the safety of life predates all of this. We had no accident? Our Muslim brothers and sisters prayed in the crown prayer. The conflict continues between academics in Pakistan, should we do it on Friday or not? Strange things happened in Iran. They could not close Imam Reza’s grave. People collectively attacked and said, “You are drying our source of healing.” There is no healing from Allah. “
“EVANGELISTS AFFECT THE TRUMPET IN THE UNITED STATES”
Noting that there are similar debates in the Catholic world, Görmez explained that the evangelists said: “We are an elected society, the crown cannot do anything to us.” He noted that in the US The US, President Trump and his deputy, Pence, had the effect of the evangelical clergy on delays related to the measures and that these speeches were not seen in the Islamic world. Claiming that an invisible pandemic jurisdiction is also needed, he said discussions about how to make tarawih stem from an unprepared arrest.
“PRAYER WITH THREE PEOPLE IN THE HOUSES”
Görmez, who lost his mother to kovid-19, clarified the absence of the funeral prayer he voiced after his funeral was buried under the measures, and said he had a funeral prayer other than the Hanafi sect. Görmez said: “We have to resort to this because we have had an exceptional time. Let’s say 100 of our brothers died of the crown today. It is much more valuable to perform a funeral prayer towards the qibla in congregations of three people in the houses than the room we read in those minarets. Because the funeral prayer is actually a prayer. “
“COMMUNICATION ACCIDENT FRIDAY IN BEŞTEPE”
Görmez stated that Friday’s prayer, which was criticized as “VIP Friday” in Beştepe, was a communication accident. “If society could explain itself well, there would be no problems. We have a jurisprudence called jurisprudence. Görmez said: “But I think that image should not be displayed,” he said. Görmez, affirming that it is difficult to perform the festive prayer, said: “People should prepare as if they were going to party in their homes. I recommend it. I think everyone should wake up at that time. At least, you need to spend those moments preaching to the Lord. “
“I am on the side of the President of Religious Affairs”
Seeing the reaction of the Ankara Bar Association against Friday’s sermon by President of Religious Affairs Ali Erbaş, Görmez said he gave a three-point answer to this: “In a Muslim country, in the homeland of a nation’s country who crowned his existence with Islam, A movement that the President of Religious Affairs says “This is prohibited, this is bad” cannot be as natural as reading a translation of a verse. I cannot accept this. I am with the President of Affairs Religious “.
“INCORRECT CORRECTION OF ANKARA BARO”
Noting that the statement from the Ankara Bar Association is not a legal statement, it is a bad text in which the provisions on Islam for the elderly were declared out of date, Görmez said: “I think those friends also regret ” Görmez stated that the error should be corrected. Noting that the timing of the sermon can be discussed, Görmez continued as follows: “There are objections that he (the coronavirus) said that it was caused by people infected with this disease. No such thing is said in the sermon, but because of the time it was said, such a comment was made.
“GREATER SIN MORE THAN SEXUAL SIN”
Connecting such problems to a certain group of sins means that we speak to God in the name of God, this is not true. The sins of global politics are much larger than the sexual sins of this age. Those global sins bombarded Iraq and killed millions of people. It is the sin of global politics that leaves Africa hungry. It is the sins of global politics that make Syria this. In explaining the causes of misfortune, we should never direct it to a certain group, sin or person. “
“BIG SINS MUST BE UPDATED”
Görmez, who opened the doors for a new discussion, made the following comments: “Our list of kebair sin has changed. In all our books, Kebair sins are counted: murder, adultery, theft, etc. Kebair has changed. Playing with the seed gene, playing with food, producing chemical weapons … We shouldn’t get caught up in our old books because sin doesn’t pass between kebair. It is necessary to update the sin considering the Koran and the sunnah. “
“Believing in the State is JUSTICE, KÜFRÜ ZULÜM”
Görmez also answered the question on the relationship between religion and politics, “The Islamic Ummah, Hz. Since Osman’s first 6 years, there has not been a correct relationship between Islam and politics in line with the universal principles ordered by the Koran. Half and a half Umayyad, like his brother who read the Abbasid history, the Seljuks, the Ottomans and the Republican era … It was the religion that always suffered in this relationship. The measure is actually the greatest cult. An hour of judgment is better than a thousand hours of futility. The faith of the state is justice. The state oath is also cruel, it is unfair. ”
“NEEDS THE MERCURY AGREEMENT”
Noting that discussions about what kind of world will be after the crown and reports in various fields, especially economics, Görmez said: “What will religious life be like, how will this process affect our beliefs, will it affect our morality, how will it affect our scientific life? We need to work on this. I think the first problem after the crown will be how we use nature. Naturally, there is a need for a contract of mercy. Humanity needs a contract of mercy again.
“When I see our state, I say good”
Youth is elsewhere, we are elsewhere. Let’s stop gathering admirers. Let’s not change the duty of notification to this. Let us not consider ourselves gendarmes and owners of religion. Much will change. When I look at the potentials that Islam has, when I look at the principles of tawhid, when I look at the justice and mercy of Islam, I say: Victory after the crown will be Islam. But when I look at the state of Muslims, when I look at the state of teachers like me, we should see this process as a course. After this pandemic process, every Muslim who thinks should ask, “What will happen, how will the beliefs of Islam affect young generations, what will be our worship life, will we nostalgically go or say what has happened?”
“YOUNG PEOPLE STAY AWAY FROM THREE VACANCIES”
Görmez, at the end of the program, gave the following messages to the youth: “During my conversation (presidential process), I said in a conversation, do not interfere with the youth’s earrings. I ate brushes from many older guys. Young people should not include three gaps in their lives. Someone free time, someone empty mind, someone empty heart. They always fill time with useful work. They fill their minds with knowledge and wisdom, and their hearts with love, affection, and faith. Let them continue their Abrahamic questions, continue the questions that troubled their teachers, and not give up. They should not rush for the Koran and Islam. Don’t be fooled by two or three wrong moves, two or three wrong messages. You should not deprive yourselves of speaking to your Lord five times a day. Prayer is human dialogue with Allah. Long live the Ramadan school!
“WE WILL RELEASE WITH THE DAY”
Görmez, affirming that he is hopeful about the coronavirus, said: “May Allah see us disappear when this party comes to an end. You should be able to come out with lessons and lessons. “
