Unsalaried though, not designated.

Imam Niyazi was staying here

before you.

Anybody there?

I am stuck in elevator.

Anybody there?

The elevatorjust stopped.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Here is your screwdriver.

Thank you for yesterday.

If it was not for you, I would stay

stuck in the elevator.

Don't you remember?

- You aren't married, are you?

- No.

- Hi.

- Hi.

What if it gets broken again?

Why are they handing

the shop ever?

Maybe the owner went bankrupt.

All these books will be under priced.

Yakup, this is thorn.

Her clothes were regular.

Well, I wouldn't know.

I just saw her at the church.

What were you doing

at the church?

Is this the book?

You are a complicated man.

Well, honestly she is beautiful.

Anyway you can

make her convert to Islam.

You would acquire merit

at God's sight.

Let him take a look at those.

Okay. I will show them

to brother Yakup.

I couldn't have finished

even one book.

So finish it.

- What about this Yakup?

- What about him?

- Is he trustable?

- Yes of course he is.

Everywhere is full of swindlers.

That's why I asked.

We are coming.

The prayer is just over.

He is with me, we are coming.

Women! As if we run away.

So, have are you getting along with

the community at the mosque?

Very good. Thankfully,
