catch a disease when the appointed time of death comes:
Since there is death in the world,
A headache is no more than a pretext.
The life of the person who follows the path shown by Islâm
and who does not commit human faults or spiritual faults does
not pass with a disease! But, everybody, except prophets, may
follow his nafs and thereby commit sins. Allahu ta’âlâ awakens
sinful Muslims from unawareness by warning them through
disease, paucity and disgrace.
Religiously ignorant people cannot attack Islâm through
cleanliness, either. When some youngsters among the Tâbi’în
asked the Ashâb-i kirâm ‘ridwânullâhi ta’âlâ alaihim ajma’în’,
“Allahu ta’âlâ loves you. He praises you in the Qur’ân al-kerîm.
What is the reason for this love? Tell us, and we will be like you,
so that He will love us, too,” they answered, “He loves us
because we were extra careful about being clean.” Allahu ta’âlâ
declares at various parts of the Qur’ân al-kerîm: “I like the
clean ones.” The person who has seen the beautiful and
luminous face of Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu alaihi wa sallam’ is
called a “Sahâbî.” When there are more than one, they are
called “Ashâb.” Those who did not see the Most Beautiful but
who saw a Sahâbî are called “Tâbi’în. Muslims do not enter
mosques or houses with their shoes on. Therefore, the floors
and carpets are clean and dustless. Every Muslim has a bath in
his home. His body, his underwears, and his food are always
clean. Therefore, they don’t have microbes or diseases. There
is no bath in the palace of Versaille, which the French boast
about to the world. Disbelievers are dirty.
They can never attack Islâm through morals and virtue,
justice or the values of humanity, either. Islâmic religion is
thoroughly moral and virtue. Goodness, justice and generosity,
which the Islâmic religion commands towards friends and
enemies, are so high that they bewilder the mind. The events of
the past fourteen centuries have well demonstrated this fact to
Islâm’s enemies as well. Of the innumerable documents let us
cite the one which we remember:
In the archives of the Museum of Bursa, it is written in the
records of a lawcourt belonging to a period of two hundred
years ago: “Muslims built a mosque on an area near the Jewish
quarter of a town in Altı Parmak. The Jews said, ‘The place
