PRESENTER 1: "After listening to you, my perspective for love has changed very much. I realized that I didn't know love. I understood that evaluating someone according to his face, height, money and career is not love. What qualities should we look for in the people we will love for our love to be true and not temporary?" Our sister, Irmak Eser.
ADNAN OKTAR: Irmak has asked a very nice question.
PRESENTER 1: Yes, she has written very nice for you.

We always meet with people we love in our destiny. We have loved our brothers and sisters, even before we have been born from our mothers, when the mud of the Prophet Adam (pbuh) was being created and shaped into a sculpture...
