Several sayings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) covers this subject.
In an authentic hadith reported by the group of Ahadith collectors except Ibn-Majah, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said,
“If you told your friend to pay attention on Friday while the Imam is delivering the speech then you committed a sin of vain talk.”

There are many people in the society who have difficulty in understanding the reality that the heaven and the hell are eternal and unfortunately many deny this truth. However, as stated in the verses such as: “Certainly, those who believe, do righteous deeds, and whole-heartedly submit to their Master, such are they who are the people of Paradise. Therein, they are forever residents.” (Hûd, 23) and “As for the deniers of the truth who belied Our verses, such are they who are the companions of the fire. Therein they are the eternal residents.” (Baqara, 39), it is evident that there is an everlasting life in the hereafter both in the heaven and the hell. Of these two eternal places of residence, people are more inclined to raise objection against the eternity of the hell, which is the eternal place of torture. In this context, sticking to their ill-willed minds and interests instead of the clear verses of the Qur’an, people go astray coming up with statements like: “Allah is most Merciful and most Just, so how come can he put people into an eternal hell.” Continue reading Why the hell is eternal?

Birth: 1876, Bitlis, Hizan, Nurs
Death: March 23rd, 1960 Urfa
- Bediuzzaman devides his life into two periods: “The period of Old Said” is from his first visit to Istanbul until the First World War, and “the period of New Said” is from his exile to Barla where he started to compile “the Treatise of Light” until his death.
- The term in between the two periods is a period of self-accounting and self-struggle.
The Period of “Old Said” (1876-1914)
- First education under his elder brother Mullah Abdullah.
- A rapid secondary and advanced level education in the theology schools of Eastern Anatolia.
- Became noted for his strong memory, intellect, and courage.
- His superiority in knowledge was recognized upon the exams and debates.
- Given the title “Bediuzzaman – the unequaled of the time” by his teacher Mullah Fethullah, and this was well accepted by all the colleagues of the Eastern Anatolia. Continue reading A Brief Account of the Life of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi

So many people do not desire the hereafter life and its pleasures and delights as they reckon that they are too far away. Although same people attain the goal of raising to a high rank, reaching the retirement, owning a flat or a piece of land at the very last years of their life, they do not mind and they think those happy years are not very far away. Besides, they suffer much for these worldly materials. They try hard by spending all their life with big investments, labours, efforts and struggles in sweat and dirt. For the sake of those goals, they forget what the sunshine is; they do not have enough time for their children and for a good sleep; their relations with their wives and husbands are so weak that it looks as if they are living in different cities. It is strange that there is no guarantee for them for reaching their goals. At the very moment of when they reckon they attained their goals, most of them crossed with the truth of “Every soul shall have a taste of death”.

Lately I have read a brief article about Sultan Fatih the Conqueror and I would like to share it in our blog.
Enjoy Reading.
The Following is a brief historical account of Fatih sultan Mehmet, which I collected for those who don’t have an idea about this great leader, and who sure need to know:
· He was born in Edirne in 1432 CE (577 years ago).
· Mehmed II or faith sultan Mehmet in Turkish, Mohamed el-Fatih (محمد الفاتح) in Arabic, named as Fatih which means the Conqueror after the Conquest of Constantinople.

from Treatise for the Elderly
One time at the start of my old age when the laughter of the Old Said was being transformed into the weeping of the New Said, supposing me still to be the Old Said, the worldly in Ankara invited me there, and I went. At the close of autumn I climbed to the top of the citadel, which was far more aged, dilapidated, and worn out than me. It seemed to me to be formed of petrified historical events. The old age of the season of the year together with my old age, the citadel’s old age, mankind’s old age, the old age of the glorious Ottoman State and the death of the Caliphate’s rule, and the world’s old age all caused me to look in a most grieved, compassionate and melancholy state in that lofty citadel at the valleys of the past and the mountains of the future. As I experienced an utterly black state of mind in Ankara encompassed by four or five layers of the darknesses of old age one within the other*, I sought a light, a solace, a hope.

This is to imagine your brothers’ virtues and merits in your own selves, and to thankfully take pride at their glory. The Sufis have terms they use among themselves, “annihilation in the shaykh,” “annihilation in the Prophet;” I am not a Sufi, but these principles of theirs make a good rule in our way, in the form of “annihilation in the brothers.”

This is not to criticize your brothers who are employed in this service of the Qur’an, and not to excite their envy by displaying superior virtues. For just as one of man’s hands cannot compete with the other, neither can one of his eyes criticize the other, nor his tongue object to his ear, nor his heart see his spirit’s faults. Each of his members completes the deficiencies of the others, veils their faults, assists their needs, and helps them out in their duties. Otherwise man’s life would be extinguished, his spirit flee, and his body be dispersed.

The rocket scientist asked me to write about spoonerism. I first had to look it up, of course. No no, it is nothing to do with spoons or people who earn a living by simply making spoons or selling them. It is not an ideology about spoons, either. Why on earth, then, did this odd word come to be known as an idiosyncrasy of language?

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
Allah’s Apostle said: Islam is based on (the following) five (principles):
1. To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle.
2. To offer the (compulsory congregational) prayers dutifully and perfectly.
3. To pay Zakat (i.e. obligatory charity) .
4. To perform Hajj. . . . → Read More: Five Principles of Islam

In His Name, be He glorified
My dear and loyal brothers!
I shall explain in three ‘Points’ an effective solace for those who are experiencing the calamity of prison, and for those who kindly help them and faithfully supervise their food, which comes from outside.
First Point: Each day spent in prison may gain as much as ten days’ worship, and, with regards to their fruits, may transform those transient hours into enduring hours, and through five or ten years’ punishment may be the means of saving a person from millions of years of eternal imprisonment. For the believers, the condition for gaining this most significant and valuable advantage is to perform the obligatory prayers, repent for the sins that were the cause of their imprisonment, and offer thanks in patience. For sure, prison is an obstacle to many sins: it does not provide the opportunity for them.

Thanks for their good works.
Oguz is seen going out from mosque and buys a biscuit from a little shop and goes to the take the boat and starts eating and reading.
After a while other actor Faiz appears at the boat station and takes out some biscuit (exactly same as Oguz) and eats.But that time Oguz looks at other side and does not realize Faiz took out the biscuit from his pocket. He also offers to Oguz. His anger is obviously seen on his face but he does not say anything.
when Faiz’s boat arrive, Faiz stands up and goes to the boat. He even says bye to the Oguz.
After Faiz leaves Oguz puts his book in his paper bag and realizes that his biscuit is still there….

Recently one of the short movie website that I follow had broadcasted its new movie called HAMDAN
it is dedicated to the innocent children who are dead there…
Cine muslim says the following about the movie;
Israel invaded Gaza Strip in December of 2008.
With the purpose of stopping Hamas which was “disturbing” it.
In the days we prepared this movie, the death toll was around 900. (Now it is over 1000).
One third of them are children and another more than one third is civilians which had nothing to do with war. But now, they have.
The story takes place in this short film is being lived in occupied cities much more worse. It needs more courage to tell, see and show the facts of war.
This story is a drop from an ocean. An ocean filled completely with blood.
Looking forward for the days we will see that ocean dries up.

Those in prison are in great need of the true consolation of the Risale-i Nur. Particularly those who having suffered the blows of youth, are passing their young, sweet lives in prison; they need the Risale-i Nur as much as they need bread.

The question we asked ‘Ustad’, our Master, was this:
“For two years during the most critical times of this World War* (World War II), which is closely connected with the fate of the Islamic World,-and now it is about ten years-you have asked neither us, nor Emin, who everyday sees to your needs, anything at all about it, you have given it no importance at all. Is there some other fact more momentous than this event, that dominates and overrules it? Or is it harmful in some way to be preoccupied with it?” He answered as follows:

One day a number of bright youths came to me, seeking an effective deterrent in order to guard them- selves against the dangers arising from life, youth, and the lusts of the soul. Like I had told those who had previously sought help from the Risale-i Nur, I also said to these youths:
