I made a welcoming speech, but when I saw Darülaceze, look, on the right outside,

something came to my mind. You know Darülaceze, His Majesty Abdulhamid Han,

may he rest in heaven, had it built. What is Darülaceze?

It is where mothers, fathers, and the elderly in need of care are left.

Please, my plea to you,

especially to our young brothers and sisters,

those whose mothers and fathers are under their own care, please,

let us never separate our mothers, and our fathers from us. Look, our Lord

commands: " Tell My servants to thank Allah, and to receive the

blessings of their mothers and fathers."

Indeed, if a person does good deeds, as the saying goes,"

what goes around comes around," they do it for themselves. In other words,

those who separate their mother and father from them,

That is the fate of those who send them to different places like Darülaceze.

By no means should we fail to show respect and love to our mothers and fathers.

For God's sake, as your brother, we will do this for ourselves. The same fate

will befall us. Our Prophet, in Islamic law, says the testimony

of someone who disrespects his father is not accepted in court. Therefore,

God willing, let us seek heaven under our mothers' feet,

and in our fathers' harbor of compassion. Let us do good deeds.

As our Lord commanded:" And speak to them a noble word."

Let us not say hurtful words to them.

Look, someone might do something, but if it's done rudely, it's no good.

Just as they raised us with compassion and mercy, we too,

God willing, by calling them" dear mother, dear father, my dear, my soul,"

and receiving their blessings, God willing, let us do them,

let us do our duties during this worldly life, and reach heaven,

and attain the beauty of Allah.

He says," A person who has their mother's blessing will never fail."

To be happy, people invest in different things, in money and

wealth, but those who do not get their mother's and father's blessing will lose,

my brothers. A short reminder. Thank you. I leave you in God's care.

May our upcoming Night of Berat also be blessed.
