OKTAR BABUNA: You have mentioned this before, as well Master. As you would know better, there is the wife of the Pharaoh who is referred to in the Qur'an and is a faithful woman. As you have said she's been with the Prophet Moses (pbuh) later on; and she is revealed as a person who has faith in the Qur'an insha'Allah.

ADNAN OKTAR:Of course, they do have faith and these are our immaculate mothers. For instance, Hazrat Aisa, Hazrat Hafsa; these are our blessed mothers who are explicitly praised in the Qur'an. There are wives of the Prophet (saas) who are praised in the hadiths; they are praised in the hadiths. These are our blessed mothers who are a light and brightness but there are also wives who saddened our Prophet (saas) as revealed in Surat at-Tahrim and other surahs. There are wives of our Prophet (saas) whom he divorced. Our Prophet (saas) got divorced from them. There is something about them so he divorces them. Look, in the verse Allah tells him to say; "I will release you with kindness" and "I will give you all you need and release you with kindness." Look, He says "If you desire Allah, His Messenger and the Hereafter.." Do you know that verse?

OKTAR BABUNA:Yes I am preparing it now master, insha'Allah.

I seek refuge with Allah from the satan. "O Prophet, tell your wives: 'If you desire the life of the earth and its finery, come and I will give you all you need and release you with kindness."

ADNAN OKTAR:As a matter of our Prophet (saas) divorced them. Those people say; "You cannot say this." Allah says this. What does it change that our Prophet (saas) is married to her after all she had done? Allah reveals her mistake, her error there. This is a sickness; she had acted through a sickness. There has been a sickness in her heart, right? We have a responsibility to tell this. He says "You cannot" but I can. Allah says this and I tell what Allah reveals. I do not say it on my own, of course. Which one is important; the Will of Allah or the will of the public? I regard the Will of Allah as important. For me Allah's Will is important. Allah says this for us to draw a lesson. Everything that disturbs and bothers my Prophet (saas) also bothers me. Insha'Allah.

OKTAR BABUNA:There are more master. I am reading insha'Allah. I seek refuge with Allah from the satan.

"You may refrain from any of them you will and keep close to you any of them you will. And if you desire any you have left alone, there is nothing wrong in that. This makes it more likely they will be comforted and not be grieved, and all of them will be content with what you give them. Allah knows what is in your hearts. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Forbearing." (Surat al-Ahzab, 51)

 "If the two of you (the two wives of the Prophet) would only turn to Allah, for your hearts clearly deviated.. But if you support one another against him, Allah is his Protector and so are Gabriel and every right-acting man of the Muslims and, furthermore, the angels too will come to his support. It may be that if he does divorce you, his Lord will give him in exchange better wives than you: Muslim women, believing women, obedient women, penitent women, women who worship, women who fast much - previously married women as well as virgins." (Surat at-Tahrim)

ADNAN OKTAR: Masha'allah. Our other blessed mothers and those of our mothers who relate hadiths; all those are blessed people.But there had also been some wives who disturbed our Prophet (saas) and left him in a difficult situation and those have been mentioned in the verses of the Qur'an. Our Prophet says this upon that. Read that verse once more.

OKTAR BABUNA: Which one Master?

ADNAN OKTAR: The one in which the Prophet says "I will release you with kindness."

OKTAR BABUNA: Yes Master, insha'Allah.

ADNAN OKTAR: The one you just read.

OKTAR BABUNA: I seek refuge with Allah from the satan. "O Prophet, tell your wives: 'If you desire the life of the earth and its finery, come and I will give you all you need and release you with kindness."

ADNAN OKTAR: See, they have disturbed our Prophet (saas) and showed a sickness, engaged in abnormal behavior and thus our Prophet (saas) divorced them. We do not know the details, it is in between our Prophet (saas) and Allah. But the statement in this verse is quite explicit. It is understood that they did not act in compliance with the Qur'an. Had they acted according to the Qur'an, our Prophet (saas) wouldn't have divorced them anyway. And this is a sickness. They say " you cannot say that", but I can. How would I not say what Allah has stated? Right?    

OKTAR BABUNA: In the rest of the verse Master: "But if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the abode of the Hereafter, Allah has prepared an immense reward for those among you who are good-doers.'"

ADNAN OKTAR:Here look, those who are good-doers are separate. There are our mothers who narrate hadiths from our Prophet (saas). There are mothers who are praised and these are our light and blessed mothers. Because do you know what does it mean that she narrates hadiths? It means that her being trustworthy and pure is agreed upon by all. But those who our Prophet (saas) divorced; that means there is a trouble with them so our Prophet (saas) divorced them. Our Prophet (saas) would not divorce because he does not like one's physical appearance. He divorces because their behaviors are not in line with the Qur'an. Understood? Almighty Allah reveals in the verse that their hearts showed sickness. He says "You cannot tell this." Allah says this so how could I not? Right? Insha'Allah.

OKTAR BABUNA:Hayrettin Karaman, Professor of Islamic Law, you know better insha'Allah told in the second volume of his book titled "Today's Issues in the light of Islam" that our Prophet (saas) divorced four of his wives and that this is revealed in Surat al-Ahzab, 51.

ADNAN OKTAR:It is four or more. Allah knows. We do not know that period in detail. But they are the one who are known; it could be even more insha'Allah.
