Why don't you write Mohammad name complete in your username ?
No other name is written in short , as you do to this one.
Only full name Mohammad has Blessings and Rehmat.
Come on. It would take only 1 minute . Go To Settings. ... Edit User Name.
@@mahaabbas9370 Wow...
@@mahaabbas9370 that's probably his real name, not short form of Muhammad...
A lot of people use Mohd... So chill dude... It's not illegal or sinful
@@mahaabbas9370 a Muslim worships God, Allah. He/she doesn't worship Muhammad.
So stop this name fetish and idolatey-like behaviour,chill, it's just a name.
She passed away today :(

Inna lillahi wa inna ilahi rajiun
What an old beast, I hope she has many more years. She looks great for her age.
@Jack Blade whennn??
@Jack Blade that's her sister Kizim not her
@Jack Blade awww :(
The one that died is Gli's sister Kizim. Gli herself is still guarding the place.
Naa man she's barely a beast...loot at her how cute she is with perfect ocean blue eyes❤️
29 dislikes, from rats
Greetings from a Christian in California...... Your comment was the best I've seen in a long time!
And birds
It increased to 125 🤔
Which shows population rise in just 5 days! wow!
@@therewasaday8070 they were from migratory birds
I'll send Amicia to hunt down rats
She gives me the strong reason to visit Turkey. In sya Allah
Inshallah*
@@boxingexpert9065 sorry brother, but you are wrong. Inshallah is not the correct expression. "Insha" means "to create", the Islamic expression is in english "God willing" or "by Gods will". By arabic linguistics, it must be transliterated into latin as In(if) Sha(wills) Allah(God). Inshallah in written form basically means something along the lines of "a created God", which is not at all what the expression is supposed to mean. Always write "In Sha Allah" if you want to say "God willing", which is the proper Islamic expression. Also, in some alphabets, it's natural to write "In Sya" instead of "In Sha". So the person you are commenting at is not wrong.
Inshallah!

Gli is not protector of Hagia Sophia. Gli is the owner of Hagia Sophia.
@Jack Blade noooooo I hope you are joking
@Jack Blade her sister Kizim died. Gli is still alive.
What ? 😱
@Jack Blade Gli is alive 😂
Cuteee😭
I live in istanbul and my high school's yard is full of animals and there's this black and white cat who always walks in into the classroom every morning while we're having lessons, it's honestly become like a routine for the cat. She always wants to sit on someone's lap. One time she slept on one of my classmate's lap for like an hour and she didn't want to leave
Şanslılar 🥰💚🐈⬛😍
I should be in istanbul..... >:o brb packing my bags..
This cat has very beautiful eyes ! 🐱
Yes definitely
crossed green eyes
You have beautifull eyes too
So Gli is the last surviving Sultan of OTTOMAN CATLIPHATE ..RULING ALL THE CATS FROM HAGIA SOPHIA
Gli Sultana...pledge to mighty rules
Yes, Gli is the queen of Ottoman Hagia Sophia.
"The Godfather of Cats"
More dangerous then me...
She sits there so regally, as if to say, "Look at my chest!"
Cats and dogs is quite common in Turkey. Especially cats is so close to our culture . Since it is not nasty in our religion to pet in home or even sharing our meals . And also Turkey's climate also allow to live them peacefully in streets. You can find lots of cats and dogs in Turkish streets. Every city has own center to vaccine them in certain period. So that empede being sick from them.
Love the Turks, From Egypt.
Do cats get neutered there? And I wonder if people there don't get bothered with cats roaming around the streets (how i wish my country would be like that too)
@@kageisbae2775 they all completely healthy
Şimdi sorun bizde
Biz napıyoruz? Onlara vuruyoruz bakmıyoruz hatta bazenleri ölüme bırakıyoruz
kage isbae There is quite a few TNR initiatives and small groups do a lot of that within their own cat communities :)
Gli did pass away on November 7, 2020, İstanbul, Turkey 💔
Hope her sister Kizim is still doing well, and doesn't have a broken heart.
Gli will be loved and remembered
Gli at 15 yo is equivalent to 76 Years Old in Human Age.. Amazing...
SilentFood I am going to that place in two days and planning to see her. Hope this 76 years old cat is still there😍
@@Brunette909 please update if you do see her.. xoxo
@@hamizah6370 yeah pls do
How do u know that by the way? That it is equivalent to 76?
internet has a wide array of information.
Wishing Gli many more happy years.
😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞
@Jack Blade it's her sister kizim
@George Krusecv I'm glad she lived a relatively long good life, she will always be living in our memory.
Gli is an absolutely gorgeous little cat. May she have a long, happy and healthy life. Bless you Gli. 💝💕
omg i remember when i was in turkey buying an apartment
i visited aya sofia and gli went by me and started purring
i petted her so much that i fell in love with her 😭😭😭😭
rip gli will always love you ❤️
0:39 that woman was like who is this creepy man??lol..😂😂😂
Allah swt is the "Ultimate Protector", gli is a sweet little blessing from above. Met Gli who really knows how to pose for a picture, it's so cute MashAllah. I was told Gli never leaves boundaries of haghia sophia
@Joel Fernandes watch the video till the end or search about it dude...
It WAS a church, and then converted into a mosque, and then into a museum and currently a museum with plan to reconvert it into Mosque
@Joel Fernandes- It was also the main office/ court of the Byzantine emperors.
Mehmet the Conqueror was officially recognized by the Ecumenical Patriarch Gennadius Scholarius as the Caesar, the new inheritor of the place.
It's transformation to a mosque was simply because it was a new dynasty of a new "Caesar"- Keiser i Rūm.
@Joel Fernandes 😪 yeah sure go ahead
@Joel Fernandes yeah right... Islam robbed the world of its history by preserving Hagia Sophia for example... or perhaps robbing the European during their dark age by preserving their books and educational materials
"as the bible says those who live by the sword shall die by the sword"
pretty sure that bible quote you gave applies to you too if you decide to proceed with the plan, and the thing goes on and on to the next person if they took the same path... or perhaps you're just a hypocrite using Christianity as an excuse?
but hey, I don't really care... whatever float your boat... unlike you, I won't ask you to remember my name... but do try remembering what you said, cause one day you'll know it's all in vain ;) especially when you die
go ahead and proceed with your Christianity terrorism plan xD nobody cares
@Joel Fernandes well, For you its your Religion, and for me its my Religion.......
Being here after receiving the sad news, thank you Gli ,may God bless you. Amin💕
Turkish person: so what attracted your attention to this museum-?
Me: where
Turkish person: wh-
Me: show cat
Turk-
Me: *me want see cat now.*
there is lots of cats everywhere. dont worry :)

What a beautiful cat❤beautiful eyes❤
Lots of love to Turkey and its adorable animals and people from Italy 🇮🇹 wish I will be able to come back soon 💗💗💗💗
Rip gli, one of the most iconic cat died at 16 years old
He said 2004 birth date
Rest In Peace Gli. We will miss her! We will never forget her
Pet her before. Took photos. She is very cute and kind, surprisingly
Beautiful how they treat cats and dogs...amazing.
She was born at the time I was born
I heard she passed away..
May Allah grant this cat Jannah.
Aameen ❤️
In turkey not just Hagia Sophia mosque, all mosque have these beautiful cars roaming around.
Yes!!!
I'm dying of cuteness overload right now but before I do can I just say what a pleasure it was to meet you in 2017, beautiful Gli 😍 I love Istanbul ❤️
1:45 She doesn't seem to realize how important those pats just were
It's the other way around. She realizes that Obama doesn't realize who he's patting :)
@@BhagirathyJPanth Holy crap you're right
OMG! I saw her back in 2014 without realising she is so famous! 😆
She is die 😔
Obama pets her, she's like "Ugh, another politician..." Good kitty...
Rest in peace Gli sorry to hear...
I came for the cat but man this host is unsettling
running up to strangers with a camera and yelling "WHERE IS SHE" is...not something anyone should do
That was a bit too much but otherwise he has a good personality!
Totally
I thought i was the only one who found him like that.
I don’t really mind him lol
Came here to see her after the news of her dead . Even tho i've never met her but i'll probably miss this wonderfully beautiful cat . Goodbye Gli❤️
Gli..innalillahi..ya allh
Gli..innalillahi..ya allh
I saw her 3 months ago. And a lot of other cats inside Hagia Sophia.
Gli's peace gang :)
I was there in 2018 and I met another cute guardian cat around Hagia Sophia :) it was a bicolor tabby and it was protecting the gift shop! So cute.
Nooo this is a thing?! My goodness I had no idea. I saw her a few years ago and it was funny because I involuntarily uttered "awww" and all the tourists turned around saw her and started taking photos! She is a wonderful addition to a truly remarkable building
Today is the first Friday prayer in the Hagia sofia
Gli has passed away :( this year. thank you for stay loyal 2004-2020 . love you baby Gli. 💌
I’ve see Gli in 2016, beautiful cat beautiful mosque beautiful city beautiful country! Love from Holland!💐
Geen it’s not a mosque
Geen it is a church
Hagia sophia was a church for 1000 years and only for 400 a mosque
no it won’t lol, and lose millions in tourism revenues?Its a museum thank god let’s stop fighting because of religion, It’s a world heritage siteمحمد رائد
cansu şahin don’t be like that. Yes it’s in Turkey but let’s not start a war. Considering what Turkey did to its Greek and Armenian communities in the 20th century, you shouldn’t be so arrogant. Hagia Sophia means a lot to Orthodox and Christians and even humanity in general. Many other buildings in the old Constantinople are the same. Let’s take care of our collective history instead of fighting incessantly
I'll visit Turkey next month and can't wait to see Gli!
How did you go, is Gli still well fed and happy?
@@saibaba7632 she died.
@@juuliuscaesar6107 she wasnt back then
I saw Gli this August 2019 in Hagia Sophia. She was downstairs, nearby main hall, very calm and she seemed like a protector of that place. I have a picture of her sitting peacfully :)
I love it!
R.I.P. sweet little Gli 😢 we will miss you
öldü mü
@@cansu3317 evet
I heard she passed away 😭😭😭.
Planned to visit her next year 😢. But I hope that a new cat will be there 😻😻
Allah have taken her back to heaven,rest in peace sweet Gli 🥺🤍
What beautiful specimens they are, Gli and her sister. Thankyou Turkey for your love and kindness to those animals.
Rest in peace Gli..may Allah be with you...
Rest in peace, Little friend
We love our stray cats and dogs.They are like one of us. They dont bother nobody actually as everyone knows about how dogs are territorial it is so true If they are getting feed from one of store they would like to show their appreciation with staying around that neighborhood and protect it even u are not there.
Also u can't bully with them they stick for each other side by side and shoulder to shoulder. I will be back home soon love you Istanbul.
cats are the cutest 🥰 👍 animal
I like Turkey 🇹🇷 very much. I am from Pakistan 🇵🇰.
Church, mosque, museum... These cats know it only as one thing. Home. 🤗
Now it’s mosque again
Can we get a whole documentary about Gli and her sister? or, maybe a 'day in the life' of vlog? I'd watch it.
She passed away at November 8 2020. RIP
Wishing Gli long and healthy life guarding Hagia Sofia
And today Gli passed away... R.I.P. God bless you cutie...
Turkey is a hot spot for cats, I'm sure that's the place every cat wants to be. Even I'd want to be in turkey if I was cat why not right. That gets to show the kindness of turkish people. I live in America, here cats are killed if you take them to an animal shelter under the guise of no one will take care of them. They have underestimated cats.
Thanks, it was amazing. Gli and her sister Kizim are beautiful.
You are also beautiful
God bless her precious soul... R.I.P. Gli... You'll always be loved...
Ive met this cat.. had her in my lap ...i miss istanbul ..hagia sophia mosque and Gli too
Rest in peace lil angel
This is very sad to hear, but Gli has passed away at 8th of November, 2020. She was a great cat and one of the most popular cats representing the love to animals in Turkey. Rest in Peace, Gli, you will remain alive in our hearts for centuries.
Rest in peace Guardian !!
Turkey are really generous to animals may Allah (swt) wrap them up in His vast generosity and benovelence.
Yes they don't eat them is that not generous enough,😃
What a Beautiful *Empire* 🇹🇷
We met Gli or her sister when we visited the Hagia Sofia several years ago. Cat lovers need to visit Istanbul!
Hopefully another cat will adopt Hagia Sofia.
Sorry to announce that but Gli has passed away at the age of 16.
So sad 😭
D-':
7th Nov 2020 ; Rest in peace Gli! You'll be dearly missed! It was a pleasure to have met you in 2017. Hagia Sophia was amazing, but you definitely was the star!
Trt world have some real talented journalists 👍
Agree👍🏻

Poor birds! But what cute kitties. I love watching things about Turkish cats.
So sad to hear about Gli's baby boy though. :(
A: "Hagia Sophia is a church!"
B: "No! Hagia Sophia is a mosque!"
C: "No! It's a museum!"
Gli: "Lol, just keep fighting."
“You bring joy and love to everyone “
Gli: whatever
Rest in peace, Gli 💔😭
Everyone is searching for Gli!... So cute!
Rest In Peace Gli
