Geçen hafta pazar günü “Fuzûlî'ye Yazılan Mektup” başlığıyla neşredilen yazım büyük bir ilgi gördü. Okuyucularımın gösterdiği bu alakayı kadim dostum Cemal Aydın Bey de benimle paylaşma lütfunda bulundu, bu vesileyle kendisine teşekkür ediyorum. Fuzûlî hayranı bir papazı konu alan aşağıdaki yazımın da sizleri hem şaşırtacağını hem düşündüreceğini tahmin ediyorum. “Muhabbet Ateşi” isimli kitabımda, “Fuzûlî Hayranı Bir Papaz-Kevork Terzibaşıyan” başlığıyla yer alan bu yazımı biraz kısaltmak suretiyle aşağıya alıyorum:

Sevgili okuyucularım, bugün sizlere divan edebiyatının en seçkin isimlerinden olan Fuzûlî'ye yazılan bir mektuptan söz edeceğim. Bu mektup, Milli Eğitim tarihimizin ünlü isimlerinden biri tarafından kaleme alındı. Muhtevası itibarıyla önem arz ettiği için sizlerle paylaşmak istedim. Daha fazla söz söylemeyi fuzuli kabul ettiğim için hemen takdim edeyim: Ey Fuzûlî! Niçin kendin kendine fuzuli dedin? Gün geçtikçe daha çok anlıyorum. Baban Süleyman sana Mehmed adını verdiği halde, sen “Fuzûlî” mahlasını neden seçtin? Yıllarım üst üste yığıldıkça daha iyi kavrıyorum.

Medeniyetimizde sanat / edebiyat / yazı nazariyatına dair yaptığımız küçük kazıda yolumuzun düştüğü eserlerden biri de Fuzûlî'nin Farsça kaleme aldığı Rind ü Zâhid adlı risalesidir (Sıhhat ve Maraz ile birlikte, trc.: Hüseyin Ayan, Büyüyenay, İstanbul 2012). Fuzûlî bu risalesinde Rind ile Zâhid'i özel isim olarak kullanmış olsa da onları tasavvuftaki manalarıyla kendindeki iki bene nispetle konuşturmuştur. Metnini zâhid bir babanın oğlunun yüzüne “öğüt kapılarını açması” şeklinde sunması ise salt kurgu nedeniyle olup, ayrıca asıl kimin kime öğüt verdiğini de okurun anlayışına bırakmıştır.

RTB president Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Dr. Steve Willing, a seasoned neuroradiologist, tackle the sensitive and pivotal topic of transgenderism through a biblical perspective. From the philosophical and scientific considerations to the profound implications for society and individuals, join us as they navigate through this complex terrain with respect, compassion, and a commitment to seeking the truth in the pursuit of a better understanding of God's design for humanity. Transgenderism Through a Medical and Biblical Lens Reasons to Believe explores this topic not only to shed light on the scientific underpinnings of gender identity, but also to provide a comprehensive understanding rooted in biblical teachings. This initiative stems from a commitment to offer credible, trustworthy insights amid a landscape fraught with controversy and differing perspectives. Fuz and Steve discuss the definitions of transgenderism and the evolving medical and societal landscapes, and they address critical questions surrounding gender identity. They examine recent studies and societal shifts that help explain why gender identity has become a leading issue in contemporary discourse. DISCLAIMER: Reasons to Believe is expressing our Christian beliefs on the issue of gender identity in the intersection of science and faith, as it's an important discussion and many people have valid questions. This research showcases the expertise of select members of the Reasons to Believe Scholar Community on matters of gender identity. RTB is not offering medical or other professional advice. People need to consult with their own physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, etc. We want to see everyone make informed, educated decisions.

Önceki yazımızda “Sezai Karakoç'un Leyla ile Mecnun mesnevisindeki sebeb-i telifi başlı başına bir şiir dersidir” demiş ve ilgili ilk şiiri sözde öncelik daima şairindir vurgusuyla birlikte okumak için nakletmiştik. Şimdi o şiirde Karakoç'un ne söylediğine bakalım: Karakoç o şiirinde, 1-Sözün Nizâmî, Molla Câmi ve Fuzûlî örneklerindeki gibi -en büyüklerinden- birer anıt esere dönüşerek hayata ve hayale dair boşlukları bihakkın doldurduğunu, yazılabilecek bir öykünün önünde durmanın ilk bedelinin ise o dolulukta kendi sözünü dolduracak boşluk bulmanın, malayani şeyleri terk edip, ateşten bir işe girişmek ve bunun ilk bedelinin de asıl maksadına ulaşıncaya kadar kuşkular içinde yüzmek, hayat ışığında gözleri kamaşmak, huzurunu kaybetmek, kalemini küflendirmek… demek olacağını bildirmektedir. 2-Bunlara rağmen, kelimeye erişmeye ve onu söylemeye yazgılı olduğunu düşünen kişinin bu eyleminde musır olması gerektiğini, ancak ve ancak şairlerin yaşayamadıklarını yazabildiklerini ama o yazılacak olanı yaşarlarsa susacaklarını hatırlatarak, bunun için korkmadan ölüme dalmayı ve hayatı bizzat onun gözbebeğinden seyretmeyi salık vermektedir. 3-Hayatın gözbebeklerinden görülecek şeylerin başında sevgileri ayaklar altında çiğnenenleri, insanlık onurları kırılanları, hayat suyu zindanlarda tükenenleri, aç susuz ve tekmelenmiş zavallı hayvanları, sevgisizlikten ve yalnızlıktan kavı tutuşacak kadar yürekleri çatlamış olanları, öksüzleri, dulları, yetimleri, köle ve esirleri, çaresiz yoksulların gönüllerindeki burukluğu… işte tüm bunları görerek dinlemekle anlatabilenlerin ancak bizim anılarımız sayesinde bizi anlatabileceklerini söylemektedir. 4-Hilalin hakkının bütünlenmek (ay – dolunay) olması gibi, kelimenin hakkının da mucize kudretine, göklere mahsus güce ulaşmak olduğunu; böylece ses ile nefesin kiyazması olan kelimenin sesin ve nefesin Sahibi'nden talep edilebileceğini, bu talebe erişmenin ise zamanda zamansızlaşmanın, mekanda mekansızlaşmanın, hâlde hâlden yoksunlaşmanın, kararda karasızlaşmanın, durmada duramamanın, gitmekte gidememenin, dönmekte dönememenin, rüyanın çarpılışına şahit olmanın ve ancak bu oluşlar - olamayışlar içinde, bir geçmiş zaman hayalini yani malum talebini perilerin çeşmedeki yansımasından, bir umut ışığından, bir alevin titreyişinden anlayıp, sesin, nefesin ve kelimenin kendi yaratımı ve mülkü olmadığını, bilakis bunbundan tamamen yoksun olduğunu, bunların asıl Sahibi olana muhtaç ve mahkum bulunduğunu idrak etmeye davet etmektedir.

Join Fazale “Fuz” Rana in this breaking News of the Day episode of Stars, Cells, and God. Fuz reports on the work by a research team from Tianjin University in China, who, recently stole headlines when they announced that they developed a chip that used human brain tissue to control a robotics system. This remarkable breakthrough (called organoid intelligence) generates excitement and also raises some profound ethical and theological questions. In this episode Fuz explains: How this technology works Why researchers are pursuing the development of biocomputing and organoid intelligence Ethical concerns associated with this work Christian perspective on organoid intelligence Links & Resources: Lab-Grown Human Brain Tissue Used to Control Robot Organoid Intelligence (OI): The New Frontier in Biocomputing and Intelligence-in-a Dish A Christian Perspective on Living Electrodes Brain Organoids Cultivate the Case for Human Exceptionalism

Join Fazale “Fuz” Rana in this breaking News of the Day episode of Stars, Cells, and God. Fuz discusses work by a team of anthropologists from Spain who maintain that analysis of a partial skull fossil indicates that Neanderthals provided compassionate care for a Neanderthal child with Down's syndrome. Neanderthal with Down's Syndrome Does this discovery mean that Neanderthals were just like us?   In light of this find, can humans be regarded as exceptional and unique? If Neanderthals were like us, can the biblical claim that humans solely bear God's image remain valid? Links & Resources The Child Who Lived: Down's Syndrome Among Neanderthals?

Join Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Jeff Zweerink as they discuss ground-breaking scientific discoveries that have theological and philosophical implications, including for the evidence of God's existence.   Pig Organs in Humans Recently, research teams from NYU Langone Health, the University of Alabama, Birmingham, and the University of Maryland independently achieved milestones by transplanting kidneys and hearts from genetically engineered pigs into brain-dead patients and terminally ill patients otherwise ineligible for transplants.  Xenotransplantation holds the promise to ease the demand for organ transplants but raises a host of ethical questions.  In this episode, biochemist Fuz Rana discusses the technical challenges that xenotransplantation must overcome before it can move into the clinical setting. He also describes some of the ethical challenges associated with xenotransplants.  Once these challenges are overcome, the questions remain: What should the Christian perspective be on xenotransplantation? Should we “play God”?   References: Results of Two Cases of Pig-to-Human Kidney Xenotransplantation First Clinical-Grade Porcine Kidney Xenotransplant Using a Human Decedent Model Developing Pig-to-Human Organ Transplants Additional Resources: Pig Organs May One Day Save Human Lives by Fazale Rana (article) Advance Holds Potential to Resolve Cloning's Ethical Challenges by Fazale Rana (article) A Theology for Synthetic Biology, Part 1 by Fazale Rana (article) A Theology for Synthetic Biology, Part 2 by Fazale Rana (article)   Will AI Do Science? Researchers currently utilize AI (artificial intelligence) to diagnose early-stage Alzheimer's, analyze vast databases to discover protein-folding classes (and new protein folds), and determine whether a sample is biotic or abiotic in origin. The AI in the last example also differentiated between recent biotic and fossilized biotic samples. As AI development progresses, one wonders whether it will be able to do science rather than just assist scientists. Fuz and Jeff explore this question in light of recent advances.     References: Can the AI Driving ChatGPT Help to Detect Early Signs of Alzheimer's Disease?

How in the world did a biochemist with a Muslim father find his saving grace through Jesus Christ? Fazale “Fuz” Rana is president, CEO, and senior scholar of Reasons to Believe (RTB), an organization dedicated to communicating the powerful scientific case for God's existence and the Bible's reliability to both Christians and non-Christians. Though he initially embraced the evolutionary paradigm, he eventually drew the conclusion that only a Creator's involvement could explain the elegance of biochemical systems. But how? In this midweek podcast episode, Dan sits down with Fuz (a former agnostic) to discuss how science and faith intricately work together, ultimately pointing to the reality of intelligent design. Why did Fuz lose interest in Islam? What led him to embrace the Gospel message? How did biochemistry dislodge Fuz's materialistic worldview? What ultimately led him to partner with RTB, and what is the hopeful future of this innovative apologetics ministry? Dan and Fuz will address all of these questions and MUCH more in this heartfelt (but informative) episode! To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST be sure to join our CrossExamined private community. It's the perfect place to jump into some great discussions with like-minded Christians while simultaneously providing financial support for our ministry. You can also SUPPORT THE PODCAST HERE.

Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and astronomer David Block as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, including the reality of God's existence.   Purpose in Cosmology and Biology Is the fine-tuning of the universe limited to the constants of physics or does it manifest in other areas of science such as chemistry, biochemistry, and biology? In this episode, David and Fuz describe and discuss the anthropic principle and its theological implications. They also discuss the idea of process structuralism, an evolutionary model that maintains that physical forces—not natural selection—shaped the history of life. How does this view of the evolutionary process intersect with the anthropic principle? And how do these two ideas provide evidence for design and purpose in the universe and life?

Join Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Sy Garte as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, including the reality of God's existence.   LUCA's Complexity A research team from the US and the UK discovered that LUCA (the last universal common ancestor) was perhaps more complex than contemporary bacteria and archaea. They used an approach based on physiological features instead of the gene set encoded in LUCA's DNA.    In the abstract of their paper, the researchers write:  “Our results depict LUCA as likely to be a far more complex cell than has previously been proposed, challenging the evolutionary model of increased complexity through time in prokaryotes. Given current estimates for the emergence of LUCA we suggest that early life very rapidly evolved considerable cellular complexity.”    In this episode, Fuz and Sy explore the far-reaching scientific implications of this work, which challenges the mainstream perspective about the mode and tempo for the origin and early evolution of life. They also discuss this work's implications for the design argument and its confirmation of a key prediction of RTB's origin of life model.    References: Phenotypic Reconstruction of the Last Universal Common Ancestor Reveals a Complex Cell Additional Resources: Origins of Life by Fazale Rana and Hugh Ross (book) The Cell's Design by Fazale Rana (book)   What's Missing in Evolutionary Theory? While the biological theory of evolution has been successful and made major progress since Darwin's day, there remain fundamental gaps in the theory that have yet to be addressed. These include (1) a mathematical expression in the form of an evolutionary law that isn't tautological or merely descriptive; (2) a more precise definition of fitness; and (3) investigations into the origins of consciousness, human behavior, and other higher functions that appear to be due to things beyond selection of genetic variants. Further explanations of these, as well as of thresholds and discontinuities during evolution, might require the inclusion of paradigms such as teleology and agency in biological science, with theological implications.   References: Continuity, Simplification, and Paradigm Shifting in Biological Evolution

Fuz Rana, President and CEO of Reasons to Believe, joins the podcast to discuss the troubling issue of human trafficking. Fuz has seen first hand the traumatic effects of trafficking, and has also seen what the Gospel can do to drastically change the lives of those affected. We also hear what it was like growing up in a house with a Muslim father and Catholic mother. And we dive in to the work life of a biochemist, evolution vs. creation, why become a scientist, and more in this jam packed episode!

In this classic show from the archives, atheist scientist Adam Rutherford and Christian biochemist Fazale (Fuz) Rana of Reasons To Believe, discuss the scientific advances in attempting to create simple synthetic life in the laboratory and how this research may be of benefit.   Fuz contends that the amount of ingenuity and intelligence required to produce life in the lab lends strong support to the view that life on earth is a product of an intelligent mind. Adam Rutherford, author of the book "Creation: The Future of life" disagrees.

How do Muslims view the incarnation? Fuz Rana was unable to experience the beauty of the incarnation growing up, but after giving his heart to Jesus, he came to understand the humiliation and suffering of Christ as the greatest expression of love. Fuz is sharing his compelling testimony with us Wednesday with a closer look at the incredible truth of God with Us and the extent of God's love for you!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“İslam, İslam, İslam…” diyen bir kısım nadanlar İslam'ın canına kıydılar. “Yalan ve gösteriş, gürültülü; hakikat ve samimiyet, sessizdir. Yıldırımlar, gök gürültüsünden evvel hedeflerine varırlar”. Gürültülü değil, içten fokur fokur kaynama, mağmalar gibi.. aşkını, heyecanını içinde boğma.. “Âşık'ım!” dersen, belâ-yı aşktan âh eyleme / Âh edip, ağyârı âhından âgâh eyleme!” Bunu “Şuara leşkerine mir-i livâdır sühânım” (Sözüm, şâirler ordusuna bayrak emîridir.) diyen, şâirlerin sultanı Fuzûlî söylüyor. Evet, yan, yakıl, ocaklar gibi amma gam izhar eyleme! Bilmesin âlem onu. Fakat tavır ve davranışlarınla öyle bir irtibat tavrı sergile ki!.. Bir insan Allah'a inanıyorsa, tavırlarına-davranışlarına da o inanç yansır. Aksine, ayağını ayağının üstüne atan, âlemi hafife alan, kaykılıp arkasına -başkalarının yanında- yayılan, namaz kılarken sağı-solu kollayan, namazda mı değil mi belli olmayan, tavırlarıyla “amel-i kesir”den bir türlü sıyrılamayan insan, zannediyorum, başkalarını da namazdan ürkütür, namaza karşı sinelerde tiksinti hâsıl eder. Neden Türkiye'de, düne kadar devamlı namaz kılma nispeti yüzde 40-45 iken, şimdilerde yüzde 25'e düşmüş?!. Örnek Müslüman eksikliğinden… “İslam, İslam, İslam..” diyen insanlar “İslam”ın canına kıydılar. Şekil ve surete onu bağladılar. Onun bir iç meselesi, içtenleştirme meselesi olduğunu düşünemediler. Öndekileri millet öyle gördü, “Bu da böyle olur!” dediler. Çok defa hiç namaz kılmadılar amma Müslümanlığı da hiç dillerinden düşürmediler. Dolayısıyla onların arkasından sürüklenenler de, “gerçek mü'min tabiatı”nı, “ahsen-i takvime uygunluk halleri”ni, yolda bir yere bıraktılar, yitirdiler. Hem öyle bir yitirdiler ki, dönüp arama duygusunu da yitirdiler. Acaba Ebu Bekir, Ömer, Osman, Ali (radıyallahu anhüm ecmaîn) Müslümanlığı nasıldı? Onu da yitirdiler. Hazreti Muhammed Mustafa Müslümanlığı nasıldı? Onu da yitirdiler. Yalan söylediler, Kendilerini takip edenleri aldatıp çektiler bir vadiye.. karanlık bir vadiye.. İslam'ın ışığının olmadığı bir vadiye.. kalbî ve ruhî hayatın olmadığı bir vâdiye.. cismaniyetin, hayvaniyetin, beşerî garizelerin boy gezdiği bir vadiye çektiler. İnsanları bohemleştirdiler. Onlar da düşünemez oldular; kimin arkasında bulunduklarının da farkına varamadılar. Alkış tuttular, onlara destanlar kestiler. Ve onlar gibi düşünmeyenlere “kâfir, münafık” dediler. Arkadakiler de o Abdullah b. Übeyy b. Selül'leri adım adım takip ettiler; Peygamber yoluna karşı, Ebu Bekir yoluna karşı, Ömer yoluna karşı.. hâlâ da takip ediyorlar. https://www.herkul.org/bamteli/bamtel...

Join Jeff Zweerink and Fazale “Fuz” Rana as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, as well as new discoveries that point to the reality of God's existence. Cognitive Bias Studies  Research demonstrates that people remember the challenges they face more than the benefits they enjoy. This “headwinds/tailwinds asymmetry” helps explain why both political parties see the electoral college as favoring the other party, why most people see their favorite team as having the most difficult schedule, and why children routinely characterize parents as favoring other siblings. Unfortunately, this asymmetry contributes to a darker side of human behavior in that people who perceive greater challenges and obstacles are more inclined to endorse morally questionable behavior. The Bible helps prevent this asymmetry and provides a prescription to encourage moral behavior.  Fine-Tuned DNA Structure  Every detail about the structure of DNA is precisely as it must be for life to be possible, reflecting a type of molecular fine-tuning. This fine-tuning comes into focus when biochemists ask “why” questions, such as: Why is DNA made up of the four nucleobases, (adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine) and not some other set of nucleobases? A chemist from Trinity University Dublin provided insight into this question by demonstrating that the set of nucleobases in DNA uniquely minimizes the harmful impact of a phenomenon called tautomerism, revealing a rationale for the composition of this important biomolecule. This insight raises additional questions: How should we account for the ingenuity and fine-tuning of DNA's structure? Is it the outworking of a historically contingent evolutionary process, or do these features point to a Creator's handiwork? Jeff and Fuz discuss these important topics in this episode of Stars, Cells, and God.

Join Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Jeff Zweerink as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, as well as new discoveries that point to the reality of God's existence. Neanderthal Brains Are human beings unique and exceptional? A large collaborative team from Germany recently explored this question by examining the behavior of three proteins that play a role in cell division and are expressed at high levels in the developing cells of the brain's neocortex. As it turns out, the modern human versions of these proteins have small but significant differences in their amino acid sequences compared to the mouse, Neanderthal, and Denisovan versions. The research team determined that, because of these differences, the cell division process in human brain cells occurs much more reliably than in the corresponding cells in mice, Neanderthals, and Denisovans. This discovery points to differences in brain development in modern humans and Neanderthals, suggesting cognitive differences between the two. First Exoplanet  The James Webb Space Telescope recently imaged its first exoplanet, and researchers found that the telescope was ten times more sensitive than expected. What have we learned about this exoplanet, and how will those learnings inform the search for extraterrestrial life? Fuz and Jeff discuss these important topics in this episode of Stars, Cells, and God.

How Mars Lost Its Water Of all the solar system bodies, Mars is the place most likely to have hosted life in the past. However, compared to Earth, Mars now has a small atmosphere and minimal water. The reasons Mars lost its water and atmosphere highlight the seemingly unique capacity of Earth to support life. Adaptation & Providence Recently, a large team of collaborators headed up by researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz highlighted another mechanism that they think contributes to organisms' ability to adapt: introgression—the introduction of genetic material into the gene pool of another species through interbreeding or hybridization. Insights such as this latest one are often viewed as prima facie evidence for life's evolutionary history. Can discoveries such as this be viewed as legitimate from a creation model standpoint? Fuz and Jeff discuss these important topics in this episode of Stars, Cells, and God.

AI for Scientific Research Scientists have sought to utilize machine learning techniques—those that undergird most AI advances—for decades. While many interesting possibilities surface, they never seem to materialize examples of machine learning working better than human driven algorithms. Will humans always outperform AI options in scientific research, or have we just not found the right approach to AI yet?  RNA Assembly on Glass  Recently, a research team from the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution (FAME), led by origin-of-life researcher Steve Benner, demonstrated that ribonucleotide building blocks could be assembled into RNA polymers (around 90 to 300 subunits in size) by glass catalysts. The research team maintains that their findings add fresh support for the RNA world hypothesis, making it that much more reasonable to think that life arose on Earth via chemical evolution. Is their conclusion valid?  In this episode of Stars, Cells, and God, Fuz and Jeff discuss these important topics.

Bu video 11/12/2016 tarihinde yayınlanan " KALBE OKLAR SAPLANIRKEN" isimli bamtelinden alınmıştır. Tamamı burada: https://www.herkul.org/bamteli/bamtel... Zühd, dünyayı, kesben değil, kalben terk etmektir. “Zühd” kelimesi, lügat manası itibariyle de, sofilerin ıstılahı içinde de “dünyayı terk etmek” demektir; dünyayı terk edene de “zâhid” denir. Bazıları onu, “dünya ve mâfîhâ'yı bütün bütün kalbinden çıkarıp atmak” şeklinde yorumlamışlardır. Fuzûlî, o duygu ve o düşünceye tercüman olurken, enfes, altın gibi iki mısraında şöyle der: “Hikmet-i dünya ve mâfîhâyı bilen ârif değil / Ârif odur, bilmeye dünya ve mâfîhâ nedir!” Zâhid de dünya ve mâfîha'yı bilmeyen, bir yönüyle, ihtiyaç ve zaruret ölçüsünde hayatını sürdüren insandır. “Ben bunu alırsam, esasen, müteveccih bulunmam gerekli olan âlem için şarj olmuş olurum, beni ayakta tutar bu!..” O kadar. Böyle düşünür ve onunla iktifa eder. “Fakat bir şey için benim ayakta durmam lazım. Ayakta durabilmem için azıcık bir şey almam lazım, azıcık istirahat etmem lazım, azıcık beşerî garîzelerin isteklerini yerine getirmem lazım, azıcık bazı cismânî duygularıma cevap vermem lazım!..” İnsan, bunlardan sıyrılmak suretiyle asıl vazifesine yoğunlaşabilir; ancak o zaman konsantrasyon tam olur. Hazreti Pîr'in bu mevzudaki tarifi, zühd adına ortaya konulan tariflerin en enfesidir: Ona göre zühd, dünyayı, kesben değil, kalben terk etmektir. Bir yönüyle, esbaba riayet edersiniz; fakat olmuş-olmamış umurunuzda değildir. “Hamd olsun o Allah'a ki, O vermişti, O aldı!..” Hazreti Eyyûb'a (aleyhisselam) bir söz nispet edilir, mev'ize kitaplarında. “Dürretü'l-vâizîn” ve “Dürretü'n-nâsihîn” gibi kitaplarda Hazreti Pîr'in de “Sabır kahramanı” dediği o zâtın (aleyhisselam) genel durumu, sergüzeştisi anlatılırken, bütün musibetler ve dünyevî kayıplar karşısında اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَعْطَى فَأَخَذَ “Hamdolsun o Allah'a ki, O vermişti, O aldı.” sözünü tekrar ettiği belirtilir. Mal gider, dudaklarından dökülen söz odur; اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَعْطَى فَأَخَذَ “Hamdolsun o Allah'a ki, O vermişti, O aldı!” (Antrparantez; sizin şu anda Türkiye'deki Hizmet'iniz açısından dillendirebileceğiniz bir mülahaza.) Evlâd u ıyâl gider, O yine aynı sözü söyler. Belki şeytan vesvese vermeye çalışmıştır. Çünkü ayet-i kerimede şöyle buyurulmaktadır: وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا أَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَى رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ بِنُصْبٍ وَعَذَابٍ “Kulumuz Eyyûb'u da hatırla. Hani o, Rabbine şöyle yalvarmıştı: Şurası bir gerçek ki, şeytan yüzünden bir bitkinlik ve büyük bir ızdıraba düçâr oldum.” (Sâd, 38/41) Orada da ona îmâda bulunuluyor, işârî tefsir açısından. Belki şeytan geldi, fısıldadı onu.

Join Hugh Ross and Fazale “Fuz” Rana as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, as well as new discoveries that point to the reality of God's existence. Mass Extinction & Enduring Life The Chicxulub impact event occurred when an asteroid at least 10 kilometers in diameter struck the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico 66,038,000 years ago. The impact energy, equivalent to three billion times the combined energies of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, immediately ignited massive volcanic eruptions around the world. A new study shows that the impact resulted in huge amounts of sulfur aerosols ejected into and above the stratosphere. This ejection caused severe global cooling lasting for several years, which amplified the mass extinction of life. There is now no doubt that the Chicxulub impact event drove at least 75 percent of Earth's species to extinction. This mass extinction and the mass speciation event that quickly followed compensated for the Sun's increasing brightness. This paved the way for the introduction of the advanced plants and animals that would make global human civilization possible, and provided an example of God's creation activities described in Psalm 104:29–30. Biochemical Finite State Machines In June of 2021, a team of life scientists reported the discovery of the first-ever biochemical finite-state machine (FSM) when they characterized the gait of the single-celled ciliate Euplotes. This discovery makes it possible to present a revitalized Watchmaker argument for God's existence and fulfills the Watchmaker prediction. It also leads to a new way to view biochemical systems that has profound theological implications. In this episode Hugh and Fuz discuss these important topics.

Join Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Jeff Zweerink as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, as well as new discoveries that point to the reality of God's existence. Cell membranes are incredibly complex biochemical suprasystems composed of hundreds of different types of lipids. Is there any rhyme or reason to the compositional makeup of cell membranes or do they merely reflect the outworking of historically contingent evolution? In this episode, Fuz Rana discusses a recent study that reveals the rationale for the compositional complexity of cell membranes, highlighting that these systems display an organization and compositional fine-tuning that can be marshaled to make a case for intelligent design. The standard model of particle physics stands as an incredibly robust model of the universe with great explanatory power. Yet scientists know it is incomplete. New measurements of the W boson mass might provide clues about how to extend the standard model. Will the new measurements hold up under further scrutiny? Will they provide ways to explain dark matter and other holes in the standard model? In this episode Fuz and Jeff discuss these important topics.

Join Hugh Ross and Fazale “Fuz” Rana as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, as well as new discoveries that point to the reality of God's existence. The Milky Way Galaxy's supermassive black hole is exceptionally small, about 35 times less massive than spiral galaxies of a similar size. The first-achieved image of its event horizon by the Event Horizon Telescope reveals an exceptionally quiet radiation level. What is the intensity and variability of our galaxy's supermassive black hole's radiation just outside its event horizon? What do this intensity and variability imply for advanced civilization on Earth? How much longer can we count on our galaxy's supermassive black hole being quiet enough for civilization on Earth?    For many people, the shared ERV sequences in the human and great ape genomes evince common ancestry and an evolutionary origin for humanity. Yet, new discoveries about the physiological role of ERVs suggest another interpretation of ERVs in the human genome. Biochemist Fuz Rana discusses the latest insight into ERV molecular biology and explores the question: “Can a creation model explain the occurrence of ERV sequences in the human genome?” In this episode, Hugh and Fuz discuss these important topics. 

Join Hugh Ross and Fazale “Fuz” Rana as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, as well as new discoveries that point to the reality of God's existence. An interdisciplinary, international team of 33 scientists states that “life was seeded here on Earth by life-bearing comets as soon as conditions on Earth allowed it.” However, their assertion requires that prebiotic chemistry has been operating ubiquitously throughout the universe for near-infinite time and that “the entire galaxy (and perhaps a local group of galaxies) constitutes a single connected biosphere.” Do astronomical observations support the team's assertion and their hypothesis that life, viruses, genes, or life molecules could survive interstellar space travel?     One of the defining features of life is the ability to self-replicate. How did chemical evolutionary processes generate self-replicating systems? To address this question, origin-of-life investigators seek to create self-replicating RNA molecules through a process called in vitro evolution. A team of Japanese scientists evolved a network of self-replicating RNA molecules from a clonal population of self-replicating RNAs. What does this work mean for evolutionary models for the origin of life—and what does it mean for RTB's creation model? In this episode, Hugh and Fuz discuss these important topics.

Bu video 29/01/2017 tarihinde yayınlanan "HİZMET'İN ALTI ESASI" isimli bamtelinden alınmıştır. Tamamı burada: https://www.herkul.org/bamteli/bamtel... Muhammed Bahâuddîn Nakşibendi hazretlerinin yolunda dört şeyi terk etmek lazımdır; bu esas, şu Farisî beyitle ifade edilmiştir: “Der tarîk-i Nakşibendî lâzım âmed çâr terk / Terk-i dünya, terk-i ukbâ, terk-i hestî, terk-i terk.” “Dünyayı kesben değil, kalben terk etmek lazımdır.” Bir: Terk-i dünya; dünyayı terk etmek. Fuzûlî'nin ifadesiyle, “Hikmet-i dünya ve mâfîhâyı bilen ârif değil / Ârif odur, bilmeye dünya ve mâfîhâ nedir.” Onun nazarında dünya ve mâfîhâ (içindekiler, hezâfiri, şatafatı, ihtişamı, göz kamaştırıcı yanları) o kadar değersiz ki, rahatlıkla “Boş ver!” diyebiliyor. Birincisi, dünyayı böyle terk etmektir. Hazreti Pîr'in verdiği ölçü ile noktalayacak olursak: “Dünyayı kesben değil, kalben terk etmek lazımdır.” Umurunda değil. Bütün dünya kendisinin olsa, katiyen küstahlığa, şımarıklığa, zihnî/fikrî/ruhî zehirlenmeye düşmez; ha var, ha yok. Bütün dünya elinden gitse, Eyyûbvârî, yiğitçe, اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَعْطَى، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ der; “Hamdolsun âlemlerin Rabbi O Allah'a ki, bir zaman verdi, vermekle imtihan etti; bir de almakla imtihan etti; iki imtihan. Verdiğinde O'nu hamd u senâ ile taçlandırdım; inşaallah, nezd-i ulûhiyette hora geçmiştir. Aldığı zamanı da sabırla, dişimi sıkmakla taçlandırdım; inşaallah o da hora geçmiştir!” Eyyûbvârî ki, O'na Hazreti Pîr “sabır kahramanı” diyor. Evet, dünyayı kesben değil, kalben terk etmek lazım. İnsan, kalbini, ruhunu, hissini, ihsaslarını ve ihtisaslarını dünyaya bağlarsa, -hafizanallah- o uğurda yapmayacağı canavarlık, şirretlik, fezâat ve şenâat yoktur; asar, keser, öldürür. “Eder münkirâne ta'ne-i şimşir-i hûn efşân / Döker kan, yakar can, onun derdi şöhret ü şan.” Evet, “Eder münkirâne ta'ne-i şimşir-i hûn efşân.” Kan döken mızrağını, saplar herkesin bağrına; kendi hesabına yakar bütün milletin canını. Döker kan, yakar can; onun derdi, hevâsı, hevesi, şöhret ü şân. Başka bir şey düşünmüyor; önüne halılar serilsin, geçtiği güzergâhta yolun sağı ve solu kendini alkışlayan humekâ ile kuşatılsın; efendim, “Allah seni başımızdan eksik etmesin!” seslerini marş gibi dinlesin ve öyle yürüsün… Öyle ister, derdi odur. Dünyayı kalben terk edenler, bu türlü takdirleri, tebcilleri, tazimleri, sövme gibi kabul ederler. Hazreti Mesih'e ait bir söz, aynıyla değil de manasını söylüyorum: “Amelde ihlaslı olmak, övülmeyi sövülme gibi kabul etmeye bağlıdır.” Takdir ve alkışı, sövülme gibi kabul etmeye bağlıdır. Kendine karşı olan beğenileri ve takdirleri, kendi ruh dünyasında rahatsızlık sebebi saymaktır. İşte çağın önemli, mümtaz simasının sözü: “Ben kendimi beğenmiyorum, beni beğenenleri de beğenmiyorum!” Evet, böyle bir terk-i dünya. Fakat çok zor olduğundan dolayı, bu enâniyet asrında, bencillik ve egoizm çağında, böylesine kalben, hissen, fikren, ruhen dünyaya sırtını dönmek çok zor olduğundan ve “Olsa da olur, olmasa da olur! Bir dikili taşım olmuş, ne ifade eder, olmamış ne ifade eder?!.” mülahazası, her babayiğidin kârı olmadığından dolayı, Hazreti Pîr onu değiştiriyor, mâlum. https://www.herkul.org/bamteli/bamtel...

Join Fazale “Fuz” Rana and visiting scholar Kyle Keltz as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, as well as new discoveries that point to the reality of God's existence.    Many skeptics regard animal pain and suffering and the seemingly cruel, gratuitous death of animals in nature as fundamentally incompatible with God's existence, or at least with God's goodness. These complaints assume God doesn't have good reasons to create a world with animal death, pain, and suffering. But is that true? In this episode, Fuz discusses one of those good reasons. Recent work indicates that wolf predation keeps moose populations at their zenith of health by removing individuals suffering from infectious agents and genetic diseases.   A 1991 study of wild chimpanzees found they're able to use drumming to signal changes of direction and resting periods to their group members. This year an animal cognition researcher argues this evidence suggests chimpanzees can use language in humanlike ways by combining drumming in different sequences to create new meaning. . However, other current research into great apes suggests their capacity for communication is largely innate and biologically inherited. So, can chimpanzees create meaning like humans can, or are they like the great apes who have inherited this capacity? In this episode, Fuz and Kyle discuss these important topics.

Episode Description: Join Hugh Ross and Fazale “Fuz” Rana as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, as well as new discoveries that point to the reality of God's existence. Scientists have used gravitational lensing to detect a single or binary star, named Earendel, in a galaxy 12.9 billion light-years away. This detection is 3.5 billion light-years more distant than the previously most distant star. According to the big bang creation model, predicted by the Bible, stars that form early in cosmic history will be different from stars that form later. So, is the measured luminosity and mass of Earendel consistent with this model? Historical contingency holds that evolutionary histories should rarely lead to identical or nearly identical outcomes. Yet biologists have uncovered an inordinate number of examples of convergence. One recently discovered example is the independent origins of aquatic skin adaptations in whales and hippos. What does the widespread occurrence of convergence mean for the creation/evolution debate? In this episode, Hugh and Fuz discuss these important topics.
