All language subtitles for Dormitory (Nehir Tuna, 2023)

FALL 1996

Introduction.

Item one. Introductions.

Hello, I'm from Britain.

I'm Ben Taylor and I'm from London.

Hello, I'm Mandy Taylor.
I'm from London too.

Hello, I'm Jane...

Ahmet!

Where are Mandy and Ben Taylor from?

London.

Mandy and Ben Taylor are from London.

Well done. Thank you, Ahmet.

That one over there.

Be at the door by 7:00 AM.
- Sure thing. Good night. - See you.

DORMITORY

You need to sign.

Here.

COAT ROOM

Thank you.

Yo, rookie!

Come.

Stay here for me. I'll be right back.

You greet everyone, that's how it is.
Write down their names.

Nobody comes anyway.

This is where you open the door. Got it?
Good man.

Hello, brother.

I need to write your name down.

Fucking Aczmendi Islamist bastards!

"The threat of religious extremism

is growing alarmingly,"
says the president.

Where have you been?

Had things to do.

- You said you'd come back!
- Don't stress, we're here.

What does "Aczmendi" mean? - Huh?
- "Aczmendi." What is that?

Who said that?

Who said that?

Which imbecile used that word?

Look.

A little stone can upset a large cart.

God, give me patience...

- Sunflower seed?
- Ok.

If you want, I got salty seeds too.
Chocolate, juice...

Thanks.

All in my locker.

What do you have,
a locker or a supermarket?

We can solve everything... for a price.

Come on, sleep!

There is school tomorrow.

Come on, boys.

Be quick.

TRAKYA PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL

Eyelashes.

Wrinkles.

Scar.

Dark.

Curly.

Eyebrows.

Moustache.

Very good. Let's repeat one more time.

Emin! Abdullah!

Enough!

You five. Go to the cellar.

Clean it nicely.

Hakan, to the attic! You know what to do.
Take someone with you. Quick!

You take the rest.
Go to the garden and clean everywhere.

Yes, sir. Let's go.

Come on, move!

Hang the other poster in sight.

Hide all Arabic books.

Turn the light off.

Hide anything Arabic.

- Close the door.
- Ok.

Watch out!

- It's a sin, isn't it?
- No.

It's Arabic, it's sacred.

- Not everything in Arabic is sacred.
- What is it then?

Just flyers.

- Why burn them if they are just flyers?
- To save the damn Yurt.

Save from who?

From the bogeymen.

Hurry, hurry!

It's dark. We switch on the light
and draw the curtains.

Very gently.

Ahmet! Come here, boy.
Take that broom. Leave your bag.

Sweep here.

Help them.

Ahmet! Do it carefully.

- Stop, you idiot!
- Go to fucking sleep!

We follow the official curriculum,
Commander.

It's just religious education.

Commander Salih checked it all before.

All our teachers are chosen
by the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

Drop it.

Drop it, I say.
- Let go off me! - Drop it!

Alright, let's get out of here.

You're gonna get us in trouble.

- Come on, let's go.
- Quick!

Move it!

Where is Dad?

Out of town.

Pass me his pillow.

Posters keep the angels away,
so your father says.

So we had no angels before.

Why would angels care
about my Bon Jovi posters?

Ask your father when he comes.

Mom.

I don't wanna go back.

Let me stay here.
Why can't I stay in my own house?

I miss you.

Huh?

Behlul Hodja is coming tomorrow.

Wasn't that next week?

- No, he wanted to visit us first.
- Is he coming to us?

Not us...

"Us", to the congregation.

- Thanks, Mom.
- Enjoy, sweetie.

- So, did you have a good rest?
- Yes.

Why did you run away?

Was it too tough for your sweet soul?

Go on, eat.

- I'm sure it got mixed up, not stolen.
- How, Kerim? It's a Zegna pant.

It's stolen.
Who else can afford that there?

- No such things happen in dormitories.
- Kerim.

- Let's not send him back.
- Do I stick my nose in your stuff?

The laundry detergents you buy
or the flower pots you choose.

Cos that's not my concern.

Deciding where Ahmet stays is my concern.
Mind your own business.

Please. He tried, he couldn't do it.
We'll hire a Hodja to teach him.

He'll get used to it.

I'm taking him back tomorrow.

Ahmet?

We'll be late.

You have your whole life ahead of you.

A long life to do the right thing.

I just wish...

when I was a boy, I had someone
who had done this for me.

"Look," I wish he said to me,
"that is the right way."

I wish he protected my soul from evil.

So that I wouldn't have spent
my entire life in sin.

Thank God.

God blessed me with the right path.

But I'm late.

I don't want you to be late.

Go there, learn, soak it all in.

Don't be like me.

You are my redemption, my salvation.

- Mr. Kerim, welcome.
- How are you, sir? - Well.

- Has Behlul Hodja arrived?
- Yes, he's waiting for us.

Kerim!

My son.

How are you my son?
- I pray for your health. - God bless you.

I was informed the steel you sent
for the new Yurt arrived yesterday.

However, we still lack the cement.

Some of our brothers promised to help.

There may have been problems.
They couldn't deliver on their promises.

We'd be grateful
for your assistance on this, too.

Please, go in.

- May your work be easy.
- Thanks.

- I'd help if my arm wasn't broken.
- Yeah, right!

How did you get into the circle?

You can't just get in.
You've got to deserve it.

How?

Simple. Just be a good little Muslim.

Show me how and I'll take your shifts
at the gate. Whenever you want.

This is where your ego is.

Ego is the mother
of all bad thoughts in you.

Think of it like a rat!
There is a rat here, ok?

- How about a squirrel? I hate squirrels.
- No. It's got to be a rat.

Put your tongue up.

And we lock that bastard inside, ok?

Ok, but why do we lock it in?
If it's bad, why keep it?

It won't go, that's what makes us human.
Or we'd be angels.

Like, we have urges, right?

Our passions, desires.

We see something, we wanna buy it.
We see a girl... You know. Get it?

It only goes away
when we don't want these things.

You mean when we are dead?

Well, if it only goes when we die,
that means it'll be there as we live.

Yes, it will.
We just keep an eye on it.

It's like saying, "I'm watching you man,
be cool. Don't do stupid shit. Alright?"

Close your eyes.

Bow your head.

Not that hard.

Close your eyes.

Bow your head, slowly.

Towards your heart.

A light comes to your heart from above

and it reflects to your head.

As it reflects,
your ego gets smaller. Got it?

Now, you've got to do this
with Yakup Hodja.

Only he can let you into the circle.

Dinner is served!

Come on. We will starve.

We are the servants of the Quran

With a pure faith, strength and vigor

We are the servants of the Quran

With a pure faith, strength

We are the servants of the Quran

With a pure faith, strength

It smells great.

Dude.

You're the man.

Get out.

What are those?

I bought them from the supermarket, sir.

They clean better, smell better,
not like soft soap. I bought them myself.

In the flock,
it found the weakest link.

Oh man!

Someone go and call the Hodja.
It's not fun like this.

Sebo! Go get the remote from Hodja.

Tell him Musa brother can't hear
what the lions are saying.

Don't you see, it's silent.

Hear what, man?
Same old shit every day.

Don't touch it!

You will break it.

Don't you know what happened last time?

Same thing happened last month.
And he was like:

"Hakan.

This TV is your liability, boy.

If anything happens..."

Then he left.

No way! Look at the watch, guys!

He is controlling it.

Do it again.

How the hell do you do that?

Give me that.

Let me try.

Switch to the match.

Will they make love?

Man she is hot.

If she was mine...

You're too beautiful,
you don't need flowers.

"Oh yes, I've seen a ghost.

In fact, I lived with one for many years.

'Oh Aunt Elisabeth, how could you,'
cried her sister's daughter.

Aunt Elisabeth turned to look at them

and then smiled."

Sit down, kids.

Come here, sweetie.

Ms. Semra, sorry for interrupting.
Children, I have a new classmate for you.

- Enjoy the rest of the class.
- Thank you, sir.

Halil, go sit in the back, for now.

- Later we will rearrange the seats.
- Yes, ma'am.

Go ahead, sweetie.

- Your name is Sevin�, right?
- Yes.

- Welcome.
- Thank you.

"Aunt Elisabeth turned to look at them
and then smiled.

'My ghost was not dangerous at all,'
she said.

In fact,
she looked into the fireplace again

and said,
'In fact, I was sad for losing her.'"

They say everyone is equal, don't they?

That's what they teach at school.

That's not true, boy.

Some people are of a higher rank.

They are adorned by a divine light.

They are there...

They are there
even though you can't see them.

Those are the ones who are in the circle.

And I think you are not mature enough
to assume this responsibility yet.

You need to work much more.

Alright, sir.
How will I know I worked enough, sir?

Come again?

How will I know I've worked enough,
I'm mature enough?

Ahmet! Why am I here?

What do you think I do?

"Knowledge is the lost property
of the believer.

Wherever they find it,
they should take it."

Therefore, I will know!

You may go.

Also...

Try not to take initiative.

Confine yourself to whatever we give you.

- Ok?
- Yes, sir.

What's the matter?

I couldn't find mine, sir.
So I borrowed them from a friend.

I think it got mixed up.
He'll bring them back tonight.

My boy, put those slippers away.

- Yes, sir?
- What's all this about, Yakup Hodja?

- Have I done something wrong?
- The man's kid's shoes are missing!

- Shoes are missing?
- Yes.

- What would you suggest I do, sir?
- Find them!

Someone's shoes have gone missing.

Red sport shoes.

Whoever has taken them

must return them by tomorrow morning.

So we can forget
about this incident.

I will pray to God for his forgiveness,

even though he obeyed the devil.

How do we know a sin is a sin?

If it hurts your conscience
and bothers you, then it's a sin.

What do we do when something bothers us?

We must repent!

What happens if you don't repent?

That means you have committed
the gravest sin:

impiety.

If you die with this impiety in your soul,
God will send you straight to Hell.

- Does it hurt when you burn your finger?
- Yes, sir.

It sure hurts.
Imagine you burn your whole hand.

Imagine you place your hand
into fire and keep it there.

That is nothing
compared to the fire of Hell.

If you die without repenting,
you'll burn for an eternity.

Sir, could you help these boys
imagine eternity?

Boys, imagine this world.

Assume the world is a barn

filled with grain.

Every thousand years,
a bird comes and takes a grain.

A thousand years later, it takes another.
And another one, a thousand years later.

In this way, this barn will become empty.

It will end. Eventually.

But eternity will not end.

Ahmet?

What are you doing?

Nothing, I had a nightmare.

What are you doing?

Yakup Hodja has a cold.
I made him tea.

I don't really want
to get into the circle.

I look like I do, but I don't want it.

Is that what's eating you?

Maybe I like the ego squirrel.

It's a rat.

Whatever.

I'm going to Hell anyways.

I had this friend when I was little.

One day, we were sitting in the park.

It was sunset, the air was red.

Never seen anything like it.

"It will become more red," he said.

He got closer to me and said,

"The sun will come closer
and it will turn us into fried chicken."

I got so scared,
I couldn't move all night.

Hell exists.

But that little boy
who believes everything is long gone.

Boys!

Come on.

It's morning.

Wake up!

Because there are no shoes,

we need to do this test.

You will eat these chickpeas.

Whoever is the thief
will swell and explode.

He will then regret.
He will cry, "Why did I do it?"

He disgraced himself against God.

Soon he will be disgraced in front of you.

Get in line!

Quickly.

Open.

Next.

Next.

Go.

Open.

Wider.

Come on, you guys.

Happy holidays, everyone.

COAT ROOM

Get back inside! Get back in!

Listen.

Because the shoes are not found,

monthly holidays will take place
every three months.

Got it?

Come here!

Don't be an idiot.

Monthly holidays are cancelled,
until the shoes are found.

If not found,
there will be no holidays ever!

Get back inside now!

This is my specialty.

- You messed it up.
- Wait and see.

What's the deal with the chickpeas?

Swelling and exploding?

It happened before.

Nobody swelled and exploded.

- I knew who did it.
- You knew?

How come?

Just a kid, he was so scared.
He didn't say a word.

- He waited.
- Then?

Then nothing happened.
He didn't swell and explode.

The chickpea thing is bunk.
They couldn't find who did it.

- Why didn't you say anything if you knew?
- I don't rat on anybody.

It's not in me.

Yeah, you're a tough guy.

Shut up.

- Come on, eat!
- I'm eating.

Do I have to eat like you?

How do I eat?

Bastard.

Where are we going?

- What are you doing?
- Shut up, will you?

Come in.

- Try one.
- No.

Alright. I'm just offering, not insisting.
More for me.

That's my motto.

That's not a motto.

- Ok professor, it's my style. Ok by you?
- Better.

You see that? See those trees?

- The construction nearby.
- Yeah.

I have a cousin, Ali.
He gets a job, plastering for example.

He gets workers to do it for him.

The perfect job. He makes good money.

There is nothing like making
money on other people.

It's so you.

I really admire him.

Whenever I come here, I feel excited.

- Excited?
- Yeah, in a strange way.

I get butterflies in my stomach.

I imagine the future.

I imagine I've gotten out of this shit.

I'm free.

Over here.

I'm open, pass it.

Dude, over here!

Ahmet!

As long as I'm here,

you will not be able
to get into the circle!

Mom, who is bigger?

Is Atat�rk bigger or God?

Atat�rk did not die
He lives in my heart

Atat�rk did not die
He lives in my heart

He carries the flag

In the war of civilization

He overcomes all the obstacles

He carries the flag

In the war of civilization

He overcomes all the obstacles

The revolutions that empowers
Turkishness are your vision

The youth is yours

You belong to youth

You didn't die, you can't die

There was this girl.

I was just about to give her a kiss.

- The alarm goes off.
- You couldn't make it, huh?

No, I couldn't.

I look at him and say, "He can't do it."

That one can't do it either.

Ahmet?

Neither can Ahmet. Can you, Ahmet?
Does anything come out, Ahmet?

He almost got a beard,
don't do that to him.

I'm not doing anything.
I know how he broke that arm.

If walls could talk, huh?

I like going to the cinema.
I mostly watch horror films.

What do you like, Mandy?

Sevin�! How about you?
What do you like to do in your free time?

I like listening to music.

I mostly prefer
listening to classical music.

Anything in particular?

I like Vivaldi. "Four seasons".
I like "Winter" the most. - Very good.

Thank you, Sevin�.

Halil, how about you?
What do you like to do?

I like watching sports.

I mostly prefer watching football.

Very good.

You got this for me?

Thanks, man. Is that a book?

Happy new year, man.

- Thanks again, dude.
- You're welcome.

Ahmet, happy new year.

You got it for me? Thanks.

Look at the birds.

- Rookie! You late, too?
- Yeah.

Hakan.

Ahmet.

Enough.

Give me that.

He's gonna need a bigger belt.

Everyone, get to your beds.

No one will hear those sinners' voices.

Ahmet. Oh...

- Guys, look who is here.
- You're the man!

- Thanks, man. See you.
- Good job, Ahmet!

- So did you poop the heart out?
- Shh!

Aren't you going?

I'm attached here with my faith.

I love it here.

What's to love? It's shit.

Yes, but it's my shit.

When everyone's gone,
it's the time to stay here.

Sleep until 10, after morning prayer.

A breakfast for the kings. No limit.

We'll cook anything.

Keep going. You can't lure me in.

Dorm rooms are open all day.

Cool.

Thank you, Mr. Kerim.
We are working as always.

Mr. Kerim, the reason I called you is

due to the protests,

they called us and said that
until further notice,

we should not send the kids
to their homes.

Who called? Behlul Hodja?

No, we've been instructed... from above.

I see. Thank you.

Vacation is cancelled.

What happened?

Just cancelled.

Kerim, I want to see my son.

Kerim?

Talk to me, Kerim!

We're going home.

I'm not going home!

Where do you think you're going?

Get in here.

Stop it!

- What the hell is this?
- My lucky coin.

- Fuck! It's real!
- Yep.

How did you swing that?

My uncle gave it to me.

A treasure hunter, huh?

I had a crazy uncle just like him,

always searching for shit like this.

If you wanna sell, I can help.

Nope, I'm fine.

Wash your mouth.

- Where am I?
- In my bed.

I couldn't get you up into your bunk.

Look what I got you.

Cool, huh?

Man, they got some stuff here.

Yakup! He's coming.

Aczmendis clearly state that
they are against secularism.

- Come on, change it!
- Shut up, I'm trying.

Seculars are our enemy.

- Come on!
- I'm trying.

Citizens turn their lights on and off
for one minute.

- That's not it.
- Hold on.

Please, hurry.

Protests are growing each day.

- Fuck man, come on.
- It's stuck.

...silent majority to react
to increasing religious zealotry.

Get back to your beds.

- Why do you turn off the lights 3 times?
- What?

The lamps. Why 3 times?

No reason. An old habit.

Hello, it's Kerim Gok.

Oh, hello Mr. Kerim!

May I speak to Ahmet please?
His mother wants to talk to him.

Mr. Kerim, we are on vacation this week.
Isn't Ahmet at home?

Mr. Kerim?

Come on, guys.

We'll be late to school.

Go get 'em!

Sevin�! How are you?

- Good, you?
- I'm fine.

I just wanted to thank you for the gift.

- You're welcome. Did you like it?
- Yes, very much.

Glad you liked it.

I love it actually.

Really? What did you love about it?

You know, that it's a tree, the colors.

Its heart-like shape.

Weren't you in the choir?

- I quit.
- Why?

It was taking too much time. So I quit.

- I was in the choir in my old school too.
- Why did you quit?

Because I transferred here.

Oh yeah.

If you decide to join again, let me know.

Sure. Of course.
We can go together.

Have you heard about the
Aczmendi boy at school? - What?

Haven't you heard? They say there is a kid
in school who lives in a Yurt!

I haven't heard.

It's scary there is someone like that
among us.

SOLIDARITY AGAINST SHARIA

Turkey is secular
and will remain secular!

Turkey is secular...

Ahmet?

Ahmet?

Shut up! Shut the fuck up!

You! Islamist boy! Get him!

Come in! Let go of it!

Run!

"A bad apple spoils the barrel."

Have you heard this saying?

This man is a living example of it.

It wasn't the dormitory that was bad.

It was him.

We shouldn't judge him

even though he was unjust to you. Right?

Finally, we will have our vacation.

Well, that's it then.

Go on, get out of here.

Oh wow.

Hodja, thank you very much.

You shouldn't have...

It's nothing, my son.

By the way, Hodja,

I can't thank you enough for helping me
clear this unfortunate situation.

It's nothing compared
to what you have done, son.

Don't mention it, Hodja! Take this.

- Mom, did Dad say anything?
- Like what?

I got the Rabita, I got into the circle.

No, he didn't say anything.

- I bet he sensed it.
- Sensed what?

Is he mad?
Is that the reason he gave me that look?

Why would he get mad at you?

- He probably sensed it.
- Sensed what?

Those who get Rabita,
who get in the circle...

They feel closer to God.

Mom, I haven't felt a thing.

You just haven't lived enough life.

You'll feel it later.

She'll get used to her husband.

Marriage is sacred in our religion.

She'll get used to all of it.

What a great report card!

Very good, my dear Ahmet.

Thank you, Hodja.

Bravo, Ahmet.

All Hodjas remaining at the dormitory
love him too. Right, Enes Hodja?

His English is also great, I heard.
He is good at Quran.

- We started Tajweed this week.
- He is really good at it.

He is a curious man.

Mashallah.
He is trying to make it in this world.

And working for the afterlife.

Inshallah he will get into
a good high school

and keep staying in our dormitories.

Who knows,
maybe he'll become a Hodja one day.

I hope so.

Ahmet? Ahmet?

- Let me walk you, Hodja.
- Don't bother.

Thank you for coming.

May peace be upon you.

Good night.

Open the damn door!

What have you done?

Come over here.

What kind of a son are you?

- Is that how I raised you?
- What else do you want from me?

You're a disgrace!

- I have done everything you asked.
- Let go of it!

Am I not your son?

God doesn't talk to me!

God doesn't talk to me
the way he talks to you.

What will you do? Cut me?

Will you kill me?

Dad.

Stop it.

They forget there's a hierarchy
in the herd.

Their fathers do not tolerate this.

How much do you need
to start that business?

40 or 50 K at most. Why?

I can find that money.

More than you need.

We can be rich.

We can have butterflies
in our tummies every day.

How?

Remember my crazy uncle?
He took me once.

So gendarmes wouldn't find him suspicious.

Cos I'm small, you know.

I remember where we went.
We can find it.

You are the man!

Come on up.

- They won't see the car's missing?
- No. The new Hodja is not like Yakup.

He never checks the car.

There's enough bread
for those suckers tonight.

- We need shovels and flashlights.
- Flashlights? What for?

"What for?"

Rule number one:
no treasure hunting during the day.

Why the fuck did you make me hurry?

Because I wanted it so.

Fuck you!

Let's go, let's go!

Come on, hit it!

How much is it, brother?

20?

Too much for us.

You got two?

Let me try that.

You ate it all.

Hakan.

It's great, come!

What the hell? Give my shorts back!
Give them back! Don't throw them.

You bitch.

- You did it.
- Wallah. A little bit.

How was it?

- Was it good?
- It sure was.

Nice skin, soft as cotton,

slim waist.

Sharp brown eyes.

How did you feel?

Don't know.

I felt grown up.

Like a man.

I want to feel like a man too.

You asked about the lights.

What?

- The lights. Turning on and off 3 times.
- What about it?

It's one for each.
One for Mom, one for Dad, one for me.

What happens if you do it once?

They die.

...2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!

Man, they are idiots. They didn't see.
See how he is looking.

As if he is going to find something.

Don't laugh, don't laugh!
They'll catch us.

He'll find my dick.

What are you doing?

Not that one, this one.

What the hell is this?

Like a girl.

Are we really gonna drive this sweet baby?

No, not just drive.
We're gonna fuck shit up.

Keep pushing!

Push.

- Dad's gonna see, come on.
- Shut up and push!

I'm so excited,
I'm at the beginning of my path

Stay with me forever

I'm in love with you

I'm so excited
I'm at the beginning of my path

Stay with me forever

I'm in a dream

When you look at me

Don't tell me you don't feel it

I love you

Like crazy

There's a fountain at the end of the road.
There, we turn right.

Pull over.
The fountain is close. We'll walk.

Fuck.

- My shoe!
- Let it go.

Pull!

- Hakan?
- What?

We took a wrong turn.

How?

We took the first road, remember?
That's why it was so long.

Listen, I have an idea.

Let's go to the car
and come back in the morning.

We leave a mark.
We can't see shit.

We can't go back.

Why not?

Because what, for fuck's sake?
Find it then.

You can't even find it.

When I was with my uncle,
we found it easily.

There was a corn field there.

From there,
we take either the second or third right.

My feet hurt like hell. How about yours?

The car!

What about it?

The bread truck. It was my liability.

I can't go back.

What are you talking about?

They'll kick me out.

I'll be homeless.

I'm homeless.

Get a hold of yourself.

Did the dog get your brain?

Don't be silly.

We're gonna be rich bastards tonight,
remember?

Fuck, I won't!

You're already a rich bastard.

What's going on, man?

Everything was a lie. You made it all up.

Hakan is an idiot.

When you say "treasure",
Hakan jumps on it.

Say something.

Say, "I was too scared to do it alone
and I brought you."

You wanted to run away
to upset your father.

Fucking motherfucker.

That was your plan.

Yes, from the beginning.
It was a plan, you used me.

Keep that away from me.

I will never go back to that house.

Wherever you go, I'll come.

You used me! You fucked me up!

I say I wanna come with you.

I wanna be with you.
What else do you want me to say?

You love me, huh?

I love you.

Do you know who stole your stuff?

You love me, huh?

You wouldn't be friends with me
if we weren't stuck in the same Yurt.

I can't even come near
your neighborhood, for fuck's sake!

You should have seen me
selling your shit

at the second hand shop.

They paid me so good.

You can't even imagine.

I was gonna nick that watch,

but you never took it off.

What's this, charity?

Is this fucking charity?

You fucked my life.

Hakan.

Hakan what?

You fucked my life.

I'm homeless!

You fucked me! You fucked me!

Hakan?

Hakan?

Hakan?

Hakan.

We are the servants of the Quran

With a pure faith, strength and vigor

Two older kids attacked them for the car.

The other one was hit in the head
and passed out and the kids ran away.

- Your kid brought him to the hospital.
- How is the other kid?

Nothing severe. He has a concussion.

Thank God.

I don't want this sin on him.

You stopped loving me.
You stopped loving us!

I'm trying to protect you.

From what?

You don't care about us.
All you want is your congregation.

Do whatever you want!

My son will not rot in Hell!

It could've been our son
lying in that hospital!

Give me that! Give me that!

I'm a Turk.

I'm righteous.

I'm hard working.

My principle is

to protect my minors,

to respect my elders...

Our prophet says, "If you don't hear
the cacophony of children...

playing in the back of the prayer rooms,

that's when we should be worried
and ask ourselves,

'How will the future be shaped?'"

...to love my country,

to love my nation,
much more than my own self.

It's not a cacophony,
it's the sound of angels.

We need to educate our children,

place the fear of God
into their little hearts.

O supreme Atat�rk,
Turkey's secular founder.

I swear that I will walk non-stop

on the path you opened

towards the target you showed us,

on the ideal you founded.

Let my existence

be gifted

to Turkish people.

Happy is the one
who calls himself a Turk.

We need to prepare them
for a better world.

We need to raise a pious generation
that believes in God, that fears God.

- Let's see who remembers what we
learnt in the 1st semester. - It's a test?

No, just practice.

It is not easy in today's atmosphere,
with the pressure upon us.

But we will fight
and we will not give up our cause.

And God will smile down upon us
and shows us his mercy.

Today, there is a man here
who supports us.

A man who leads
by example with his family.

Today with the support
of brother Kerim Gok,

we start construction
on the new dormitory building.

Brother Kerim has been chosen

to be the head of operations

for the Marmara region, including us.

Keep going.

- Have you moved out again?
- Yes.

Pick me up here from now on.

Abraham said,
"O my dear son, I see in a dream

that I must sacrifice you.'"
