Kerem ÖnderKerem ÖnderMahşerde korkmayacak olanlar? - Yunus 62-64 tefsiri / Kerem Önder“Bilesiniz ki, Allah’ın dostlarına hiçbir korku yoktur. Onlar üzülmeyeceklerdir de.” (Yunus 62)“Onlar iman etmiş ve Allah’a karşı gelmekten sakınmış olanlardır.” 63“Korku ancak gelecekle ilgili olur, yani ileride korkutan bir şeyin meydana gelmesinden dolayı korkulur. Hüzün ise ancak geçmişte olan birşeyle ilgili olur. Bu, ya geçmişte insanın hoşuna gitmeyen birşeyin meydana gelmiş olmasından ötürü, yahut da arzu edip sevdiği bir şeyi elde edememiş olmasından dolayı olur.Bazı muhakkikler şöyle demişlerdir: "Veliler için, korku ve hüznün olmamasının söylenmesi, ya onlar bu dünyada iken olur...2025-05-3038 minAsabi DJAsabi DJAsabiDJ 25.03.2023 Programi“Elfida” ― Suzanna“Yeniden” ― Layla Pulice“Ey Sareban - Live” ― Mohsen Namjoo“PortakalAlti Kayitlari: Artik Benim Onurum” ― Cem Erdost Ileri, Firat Tanis“Anlatmam Derdimi Dertsiz Insana” ― Deniz Ozkalay“Bilmeden Oldu” ― Ayten Rasul“Leyla'yim” ― Nura Oz“Neredesin Sen” ― Karsu“Sesimi Duyan Var Mi?” ― Koray Guven“Nesini Soyleyim Canim Efendim” ― Ali Insan“yolcudur abbas” ― Sila“Bebegin Besigi Camdan” ― Samida“Usudugunde” ― Pinhani, Yayla Trio“Ver Elini” ― Ezginin Gunlugu“Kendim Ettim Kendim Buldum - Live” ― Sena Sener“Yanarim” ― Sertab Erener“Oglan” ― Kutanin“Cilveloy” ― Fuat Saka“Bir Ay Dogar” ― Cem Adrian, Yunus Kirmaci“Zor Yillar” ― Erdal Guney, Eylem Aktas“Yagmurlar” ― Husnu Arkan, Feyza Eren2023-03-251h 40Changing Lenses: Diversify Your PerspectivesChanging Lenses: Diversify Your PerspectivesBonus Ep213: Talking Allyship and Solidarity on the Know Nonsense Anti-Racism PodcastAnti-Racism.
