Dr. Hüseyin Kâmi BÜYÜKÖZER
We would like to share with you again the article that a sister of one of our sympathizers sent to us in 2017 after the earthquake disaster that caused great suffering today.
Alhamdülillahi Rabbü’l Alamin…
Exactly 1439 years have passed since Muslims were honored with Islam. It’s a whole millennium and hundreds of years behind. The representatives of this religion have brought it and this trust to us through hardships, years of boycott, sacrifices, jihad in the way of Allah, and countless trials. I have something to say by taking the example of our mother Aisha, who fearlessly says the things she believes in those days when the hadiths that start as ‘in the end times …’ do not tangent us, I have something to say to individuals of the end times…
We have had a cherubic certificate, good luck… GIMDES…
GIMDES whose existence we are unaware of…
GIMDES that we cannot take into our earthly densities…
Praise be to God, as a reward for thirty, maybe forty years of patience and labor, they created this certificate, and we Muslims now have a certificate. Even if it happened, where is it? Despite there being five hundred companies, we can’t find why there are so many options to find a product we want, and we are wandering around the market. Why do mothers keep running around to prepare a hot soup for their children with peace of mind? If the flour is in Yemen, the tomato paste is in Damascus…
May Allah bless the minds that founded GIMDES. May Allah bless the Believers who have passed the certificate to our lives by claiming their Muslim identity. And it’s our turn to take on responsibility, isn’t it? It’s our turn for a little effort, isn’t it? Where are our brothers who have a grocery store, supermarket, or grocery store? Why can’t they replace the products on their shelves with halal-certified products? Why is it that there are 50 markets in the whole of Turkey, all from Halal World drills that have been thought out just for us? Why not hundreds, thousands of branches? Is it too absurd to want a little more respect and to get a trade service integrated with a little more fıqh? We hang the verse of the evil eye and the prayer of the ant in the most beautiful place of our markets. It is okay to hang them on but why can’t we take care of the requirements of Islamic teaching? We are the certificate. GIMDES is a phenomenon that will grow at the rate we own it in Turkey, a formation that will be in demand as long as it is seen to be owned.
Believers have had a method problem for a hundred years, maybe more. Since our understanding of the world has been as if we were the only worldlings, this morbid condition has also made us sick. The values accepted by the world have become our popular values without regard to Islamic law. Since the idea of earning more instead of the Muslim aspect of earnings, of being the most stylish instead of the Muslim aspect of clothing has dominated our brain and body, the problem of not being able to claim an identity, moreover, the inability to even realize that it belongs to an identity, has arisen. Unfortunately, Muslims have also started to turn around in the wheel of trade made with an ambition that makes a person shudder.
It was not only the traders who were responsible, of course but also the people of consumption at the same rate were among those responsible. The producer produced; the consumer consumed without needing to ask why, how, and for what purpose it was produced.
We said that believers have a method problem. So how can we develop a method? The people who create GIMDES are working with a great method. So, what can we Muslims do?
1. To keep alive in our minds the fact that we have the dunya and hereafter, Akhira.
2. Not obeying everything that the world accepts and looking at the Muslim dictionary.
3. To investigate.
4. To pass on the last verses of Surat ASR to our lives and to recommend Truth and patience to each other.
5. To support the Halal World Market project and deliver it to hundreds and thousands of branches as soon as possible.
6. To support GIMDES’ Education Project.
Nowadays, it is no longer so easy to believe and do righteous deeds and advise each other to truth and advise each other to patience. It is possible to fall into a position where you only give advice. But was “Amel’i Salih” not to command the righteous to do good and to forbid evil?
When Muslims are mentioned in the Bible, Muslims are likened to crops standing on a spike. Alive, alive, believing, giving hope… I humbly liken the Muslim prototype who founded GIMDES to the one whose mind gives life-like crops that have stood on a spike. While the West, America, Russia, and China are making their way around the world in science and technology every day, we are looking forward to when there will be a Muslim revolution. Is this a utopia too far away when we have not yet started a revolution in our souls and body? Is it not possible situation to see individuals who have practiced Islam on every street, on every corner, and in every apartment?
We have all heard this ayah at least once that says “And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter – that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew.” (Surah Ankabut 64)
When we read the above verse, we remember once again that the world is an empty deception, and our thought of the need to do something for consent immediately flares up once more before time passes. The world is a place of play and distraction. Nowadays, when I think about this verse, a new thought popped up in my mind. If the world is a place of play, are the toys also Muslims at this time, O Lord?
When did we become a pawn when such a beautiful religion was bestowed on us, for what reason and without understanding? And what’s more, we still allow the world to toy with us without thinking, without doing anything. Then another verse has a shocking effect, Surat Anbiya 16. the verse says, “We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything in between for sport.”
When we discuss the necessity of including halal food in our lives among friends, ideas such as this topic are overdone and cause sedition, so to speak, hits a person in the Decongestant vein. Already, the issue of ifrat and tafrit has become a refuge for the end times. Unfortunately, when it comes to difficulty, excessiveness and understatement (İfrat and Tafrit) became our saviors. Some reasons have been spent without any thought: “So, what are we going to eat and drink, then where are we going to go from this world?”.
“Where shall we go from this world?” Arif Nihat Asya said years ago. Really, where should we go in this world? Where should we go when we can’t get out of our solar system yet, moreover, we don’t know if there is life on another planet or not. Suppose we found another world and left, what will change? Doesn’t a person take himself to where he’s going? However, the nafs are the same nafs, there are always good and bad in this test. Therefore, it falls to the Believers to say “COME OUT FROM AMONG US, THE WORLD” to the world that we have placed deep in our hearts.
Those who know a little bit about the history of Islam know Poet Hansa who personally went to the battlefield at the Battle of Kadisiye and told their four children, “Either you will waive the victory flag of Islam in Kadisiye, or I will hear that you were martyred by waging jihad for the sake of religion.” and our mother Sumeyra, who was very sad when the Muslims were defeated in the Battle of Uhud, and her father, brother, husband, and two sons were martyred, but ran to see Muhammad aleyhisselam. A father, a brother, a husband, and two sons. When the most beautiful blessings that have been given to a person in the world are standing, she asks about the Messenger of Allah.
Now 21 of those years. if we turn back to the century, let’s take a look at what we couldn’t give up in our glazed mansions, what we made a fuss about when we weren’t in our lives!
Cheese as big as a matchbox
A glass of coke that has not escaped the acid
A cone of ice cream
A piece of chocolate with few calories…
“But no! They will come to know.” (Surah Naba, 4)
