'Day, the holy night, the Friday sermon on the pulpit and the people that go against, and of course a great father, Ramiz Efendi and listened with admiration, and can listen. Never forget what you are talking out of the mosque. His mother asks him word for word told to listen. It was another evening of Ramadan. Mother of seven with a rush to cook the Iftar meal and immediately went to the mosque. A little later his father would come and Alvarlı'lara appeal.

After the first sermon in a new direction Alvar'daki life began to go into. The next year in the month of Ramadan with his father insists that I decided to get out of Erzurum. During Ramadan Amasya, Tokat and Sivas has browse by. Was the sermon. Fethullah Gülen attention to the sermons of some mufti to allow some of the very young age is also suggested to give up this love was not recommended. Fethullah stable. He knew they would play on the road. Also suffered from Sivas to Erzincan by then returned to Erzurum. First output from this country that has lead to the development of a capability. After the sermon he read of the environment, private chats with people made literate. This chat him, Korucu, and Erzurum, such as Alvar always in familiar surroundings, with each other have the same information, except the people who carry the same mood, with different information and people thought that was taught. During a chat one of these to rest, Mehmet Akif Ersoy was encouraged to read the Safahat'ını. Gülen, has memorized half of Safahat in return to Erzurum. (Evening, Nazlı Ilıcak; 20 March 1998)

According to him before the sermon to the 'I'll remove you to sermons on not. Do you also do not know it was something my father talking. Or is my father was offered? I do not know a thing come to be hilafına course.
I had my first sermon. Maybe my own efforts to work with. I started to work in Arabic from the time something to look at books like Dürretü'l-Vaiz too. There are books in my father, I have written to look at every word of the book look lügata edges. So I also had a mümarese.

Then he separated from Erzurum After I got the money from Hatim was always Hicran. Returning with an opportunity to endow such Cenab-ı Hakk'ın until I can be determined from the first people who get the money I've read that Hatim know that I put into envelopes to be returned within what extent did. My brother was also sent by them Hasbi. I wrote a paper in the envelope of the mosque know. Hasbi there (Erzurum) because you do not know what the poster is going to matter, and 'Get the envelope, my brother sent. It is not permissible to take money from the job he has conviction 'he says.
This job can be during my military service. Appeals are. 'Very large man came here, are gone. Does this invention that out. " say. Kazım Aga that is still up there, more alive 'by Jove, there he was to do a full self-worthy. If this is done it already 'he says. And people do not appeal anymore. (From your own memories)
