[00:01] words I'm about to say. Please listen to me. I know I'm too young and inexperienced to say such a profound statement, but please listen. I've always wondered who the
[00:13] true enemy of humanity is, what the cause of all the bad and terrible things we see in the world is, and the reason for the distress we feel. I couldn't find an answer, but then, by the grace of God, in a moment of divine inspiration, when I began to reflect and think, I discovered that from the day
[00:28] I discovered that from the day humanity was created, we've been at war with only one thing: greed. If you consider the story of Adam, why did he descend to Earth, and what was the reason or motivation behind his first transgression? God told them not to approach this tree, but Satan
[00:44] whispered to them that if they ate from it, they would live forever. This is where forever. This is where this was their first transgression through the whispers of Satan, causing them to fall to Earth. If you reflect,
[01:00] Satan wasn't the one who planted greed within them; greed was already present. He merely whispered and encouraged this greed, and this transgression led to every evil, whether it be a minor transgression or a major one. Every
[01:12] story we've heard in our lives has this underlying cause. Even before that, when Abel died, he died because he was jealous that God accepted his offering but not Abel's. If you look at the roots of this jealousy, you'll find that it's greed, murder, adultery, theft,
[01:28] addiction—all these things are rooted in greed. I'm greedy to accumulate as much as possible, whether material or spiritual. Therefore, humanity's primary battle isn't with Satan; humanity's primary battle is with itself, with its greed. Satan merely plays on the greed that
[01:45] exists within us. But still, if you keep asking, "But it will always be there within us," the answer is...  As a young man, I was driven crazy by greed. I started searching for ways to resist it, as it was deeply rooted within me and I couldn't stop it. When I searched, I found that God mentioned that the believer is greedy in more
[02:01] than 10 or 11 verses. But when I started reading these verses, I felt something very strange: that God mentions in all these verses that the believer only desires God Almighty. In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful: " Then he desires to harm Him, and we desire that our Lord will admit us with the righteous people. And we call upon Him in
[02:15] Lord will admit us with the righteous people. And we call upon Him in fear and hope. And He is the One from whom I hope for forgiveness of my sin on the Day of Judgment." All these verses mention greed, but the greed is for God Almighty. So if you start thinking, you will begin to receive a message that you cannot eliminate greed, but you can
[02:29] limit it and direct it towards a certain direction. And what is this direction ?  It means to yearn for God Almighty. If you start thinking about it logically, you'll find that it's the most logical thing because, glory be to God, He wanted to convey a message to us through these verses: that you, O human being, O son of Adam, should yearn for nothing but Me,
[02:44] because in truth, I am everything. If you yearn for Me, I will give you everything. But if you yearn for everything and not for Me, I will not give you anything. Glory be to God! So always remember, if you want to yearn, yearn for God Almighty. And as always...
