OKTAR BABUNA: Shall we talk about the cowardness of the hypocrites Master, insha'Allah?

ADNAN OKTAR: Yes

OKTAR BABUNA: I seek refuge with Allah from the satan. Allah reveals in the Qur'an. Allah reveals that He will test believers with fear. "We will test you with a certain amount of fear and hunger and loss of wealth and life and fruits. But give good news to the steadfast". Allah reveals that He will test with fear insha'Allah. The behaviors of believers and of hypocrites are very different. For example, the hypocrites, you would know better Master insha'Allah. Allah reveals in the Qur'an as such: "Do you not see those who were told: 'Hold back from fighting but establish salat and pay zakat'? Then when fighting is prescribed for them, a group of them fear people as Allah should be feared, or even more than that. They say, 'Our Lord, why have you prescribed fighting for us? If only You would give us just a little more time!'"

ADNAN OKTAR: Bediuzzaman also says look: "Muslims cannot succeed because of fear." He says that they scare the scholars and the public. When the scholar is scared, when they say the word the man flies away. He flees, escapes and sits on another branch. For instance, he leaves children and women here. He leaves the elder ones here and everyone else. He is only concerned with saving his own life.  After flying away, he sings out there like a bird. If you are man enough, stay here and put out a struggle in here. He is like a sparrow hawk. Right? Flying away like that, Singing from there like a bird. And you are saying "I am a Muslim, a mujahid and a brave man." Muslim  would want to become a matry, a veteran; he takes the risk of prison and everything. What kind of a man, what kind of a Muslim you are? He is screaming from a ten thousand kilometer distance saying "I am the Mahdi (a.s.)." Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) would not be ten thousand kilometers away. He needs to be here, in Istanbul. It does not happen by screaming from a five thousand, seven thousand kilometers distance, saying "I am the Mahdi (a.s.)." If they are men enough, they can come and continue their struggle here like Muslims insha'Allah.
