PRESENTER 2: How could a person seem like he or she loves a person whom he or she doesn't love? I wonder what the heart of that person is like.
ADNAN OKTAR: Of course this is suitable to be misunderstood. Because when we meet someone we show love and respect out of courtesy. But this is out of courtesy. And it is obvious
PRESENTER 2: That is not what I meant to ask.
ADNAN OKTAR:The other doesn't happen anyway. The other person instantly understands it. Loving someone passionately, profoundly with fervor, for the good pleasure of Allah, as the manifestation of Allah is only peculiar to very smart people. But look I've told this and moved on, but actually I've given a big secret. Only very smart people can love profoundly. For example, I see young women with their husbands and young men with their wives. She can't reach the love that she has in her mind. She can't. Look, a person who is not devoted to the Qur'an and who doesn't love Allah passionately, first off he is someone who failed to realize Allah. What is the point in someone who could not realize Allah, realizing you? What if he doesn't? Right? What is it worth? What is the point in someone who is not devoted to Allah, being devoted to you? What is the point in someone not loyal to Allah, being loyal to you? What good would that be for you? But if he is completely devoted and loyal to Allah, and is loving you for Allah, then that means you have hold on to a very strong handle. This means a strong love and a complete and strong passion. And this dominates your soul completely.
First off, your brain believes it completely, it almost sticks onto that and passion surrounds your soul completely. I mean, passion is something aside from the flesh and bones. It is a very strong pleasure and blessing. But he is egoistic, selfish and aggressive but still talks about passion and love. Or he is mercinery or self-interested or I beg your pardon a trickster. If a woman is a trickster, it is over anyway, it means she killed it, she is vanished. She killed herself while alive. She is no different than a corpse. Being a trickster is the first thing that a young girl must avoid. This is so for men as well. A trickster man is awful for a woman.
The woman wants the man to be natural and very smart and sincere, wants him to be compassionate and honest. When he is not like that, the woman's brain can't take it. It can't be achieved through struggling. You bring a car, a Jaguar at her door, buy her a mansion. They woman's brain gets frozen and you can't dissolve her again. No matter how much money you bring, and her hatred increases as you bring more. He buys her a house to get her love him. Her hatred increases even more. And may Allah forbid, some say, "I wish he dies and I can have his possessions." This is an awful hatred. May Allah forbid, right? "Transfer these possessions into my name." And on the day that the man makes the transfer, she takes all the furniture, empties the house and runs off. This is the punishment for not loving for the good pleasure of Allah. For example, there is the image of a prince charming in young girls' heads. That prince charming turns into a person whom you see ugly and you can't love, if he is not subject to Allah with love and passion. You can never love him. No matter how charming he is, right? Even if his horse were flying or had golden horseshoes, you could still not love him. There would be a repulsiveness in his soul and you couldn't get rid off it. Allah tied love to Himself. Allah doesn't give love to a person who doesn't love Him.
This is a miracle. This is Allah's miracle. For example, people want to see miracles. This is a miracle. It is a tangible miracle. He can never love. For example, I told this at my interview with Hulya Avsar. Hulya Avsar said, "I have never seen such a person until now." She said, "I have never seen a person, loving in the meaning you mentioned, who grounds all on passion and who loves with love of Allah." So she said that she has never seen the love I have described. It is really understood from her manners, her statements that she had never experienced something like that. For example, if she had, it would glow on her face with all its brightness and beauty. It doesn't matter whether she is 70 or 80 years old, it stays on her face. Lovelessness is a very painful thing, not being able to love. Not being able to love the way I know and the way she understands is a very painful thing. The human body can't take it; it is very difficult. A smart person can't take it. But for those with weak minds, there is of course no such thing as love. You buy her a car and she is done with it. She melts and does whatever you ask of her. Or you give him money, and the man melts away; his religion and faith is based on that. You know what they say, "His religion is money." That's it. That's who he is.
