ADNAN OKTAR: Now sometimes this happens: There are such mothers in neighborhoods and they say;  "Now we will get this girl married. Let's find a good-looking, honorable and dignified man who performs his prayers." Actually, they go and find such a bone headed man. He really performs his prayers five times a day. They just take that as a measure. They say, "He is performing his prayers; we looked thoroughly he is poor but honest, let's take him." Alright he is poor and performs prayers but he is also after getting rich; he is after money. He did not submit himself to Allah. He does not live for Allah. Performing prayers is not a measure. He has to submit all his life to Allah. He needs to submit completely to Allah. He needs to be a man of cause. He needs to have the morality of the Prophets. They take praying as a measure; they fall into a trap again, as performing prayers is not a measure. He nevertheless has worldly ambitions. There are many examples. They take the man into their house as son-in-law but the man deceives them and takes whatever is in the house. They say, "But we behaved according to this measure and got her married with a man who is performing prayers." Is this a measure? Look what is a true measure in the Qur'an; look at the morality of the Prophet (saas) whether or not it is like that. Right? How was our Prophet (saas)? He had submitted himself to Allah completely. What did the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) do?  He had submitted himself to Allah completely.

"But they are Prophets." So? What are you? You are an individual. The logic that states: "they can do it but we cannot" is not acceptable. They came as examples for us. We have an obligation to be like them. The Companions; Hazrat Omar (ra), Hazrat Osman (ra), Hazrat Ali (ra) how were they? Did they not submit themselves to Allah completely? Did Hazrat Ali (ra) not submit himself to Allah completely? He laid down the bed of our Prophet (saas). They were planning to assassinate our Prophet (saas). He could have been assassinated any moment. Hazrat Ali (as) protected our Prophet (saas) with his own life in every situation. He did not care about his life in that sense. He submitted himself completely to Allah. This is how the implied person should be. Right? This is why they cannot believe of course. Since the only thing that comes to their minds when one says "good morality" is a person who performs prayers, of course what we are telling seems not convincing. Therefore when they hear that they say, "It is right but there are material concerns as well" and they enter into such an insincere world. The right thing is done only when they understand exactly what I am explaining here. Otherwise, it would be incomplete.

For example the man cannot control his anger, cannot control his temper and he is not patient. I'm talking about a man who lives the morality of the Qur'an thoroughly. Otherwise what is with someone who performs prayers? That is valid in young girls as well.  She says: "I will marry you." He says, "Okay on what condition?" She says, "You will marry me. I will also wear a headscarf and perform my prayers if you marry me." There are very many people who marry on these conditions. You must have heard. She immediately promises to wear a headscarf starting from the day they get married. So?  And "I will start performing my prayers instantly," she says. She is doing it for you, don't you see that? This is polytheism. Do you not understand that? He acts like he does not understand. Of course then they break up by fighting. Is this how it should be?

PRESENTER 4: Then she removes her headscarf of course. She first covers her head and then opens.

ADNAN OKTAR: Of course. They have to be honest. She instantly gives up performing her prayers.  Right? The whole matter revolves around sincerity. Allah defines that as the only measure in the Qur'an. I seek refuge in Allah from the satan. "Only Allah's sincere servants are saved." Look there is only one measure; to be sincere. Humanity cannot be happy because they do not do this. Do you know how many people cannot be happy? 99%. The ratio of people who cannot be happy in the world is 99% now.

PRESENTER 4:99% is not sincere then master.

ADNAN OKTAR:I mean sincerity is a completely different thing. One can be sincere but not in the sense that I mean. There is a mid-level sincerity, there is high sincerity but deep sincerity is the basis. This is what happens when there is no deep sincerity. Look around you, if there is one person who is happy bring him or her to me so that I can understand. You come across them very rarely. Right? I see that for example with young women. That is how it is all over the world, they are like living in Hell, they live in extreme fear. She goes to a holiday resort, but experiences fear of death. Look she lives in the fear of death in a holiday resort. There are psychopaths all around. For example, they have to have a boyfriend next to them; that is how they believe. That is because, if there is no one with a young woman, what do they call her? Lesbian. What is she going to do? She has to find someone. I look and see that those beautiful girls have all found someone no matter how they look like.

These are such irritating, ugly types. I see them on Facebook and so. Pity on those lovely girls.  They just do so for people to talk about it, it is very clear.. I acquit them all but I know some of them to be so. They are over their heads and act like clowns putting beer cans on their heads. And they get so-called interesting pictures taken. But they are very tasteless and disturbing; you can see all sorts of ugly behavior there.  First off, they have such "joyful" poses.  But does gaiety have anything to do with that?  Theatre of being joyful is something else and real joy is another. There are scenes from the theatre of joy, the theatre of fun. Why don't you live real joy? You should be seeing that for yourselves when you look as well, so I do not want to get into more detail.
