At-Tawbah 16: Or did you think that you would be left, without Allah revealing who fights and who does not take as confidant others but Allah, Allah’s Messenger and the mu’min?

The 16th verse of Surah At-Tawbah.

Or did you think that Allah, those of you who strive in jihad and, other than Allah, the Prophet and the believers, take no one as confidant, without bringing them out, you would be left alone? Allah is aware of what you do. O Allah!

Here there are such words to be said that at this verse the superstitious are astonished. It is beyond the capacity of their minds.

You know the lovers. The lovers of Allah. You also know the friends of Allah.

Saints, awliya, nabis, prophets, the truthful ones.

Who are they?

Those who share secrets with Allah. Confidants. Those who know, who know, who see, who live together, as far as our Lord permits, within their capacities, those who share secrets with them. It is not me saying it, Allah says it, but they cannot understand this. Look what He says: Or did you think Allah, those of you who strive in jihad, who will strive in jihad? He was speaking of those believers, you see. Besides Allah, the Prophet and the believers, look, besides Allah, the Prophet and the believers take no one as confidant, take no one as confidant, without bringing them out, you would be left alone?

That is, those who share no secrets with Allah, who rebel against Allah, who are unbelievers, all of them: without bringing out where their states of nafs stand, did you think you would be left alone? Here is a verse in response to that. Did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you are? But they cannot grasp this. Here there are such words to be said. It has such words to be said. This verse also proves this.

Scholars and angels bear witness to Allah's existence, He says. Allah says it, not me. This verse also proves this. When We created these worlds, We did not take Satan and (?) as witnesses for Ourselves.

It goes to the secret of the secret. Confidant. Confidant. Those who do not know these, with this partial mind, with what capacity do they say of a person who explains Allah's verses in depth, this is a heretic, he is sowing discord in the religion? How nicely they prove their own ignorance. How nicely they say they are unaware of the verses.

Let me give a reminder again. To such superstitious ones: if you know nothing, that saying of Hazrat Mevlana do not forget. Pin it to your mind a little. Tell me one word, I will tell you where you are. What I say does not fit in your mind. You superstitious one. It does not fit in the minds of the superstitious. But is there no one who understands me? Such beautiful people understand. Such beautiful people understand.

Who are they? Believers, believers. (?). Yes.

Give me some water. Mineral water.

Let me read it once more, it will be understood better. Or did you think Allah, those of you who strive in jihad, how beautiful, those of us who strive in jihad, besides Allah, the Prophet and the believers, (?) the verse now. take no one as confidant. That is, those who do not take these, Allah and His Messenger, as confidants: that without bringing them out you would be left alone, did you think? He says. Everyone's situation will come out. Allah is aware of what you do. So He makes a person witness against a person. Whatever language, religion and race people may be of. Without making them witnesses to themselves, according to the covenants they gave at Qalu Bala, that Allah would leave them, did they think?

Yes.

Since we wrote this for the general public, I do not know how I wrote it, I may have written it in a restricted way. I wrote it for the public. Because the public's mind will not reach this very deeply, well, so that they would not be drawn to the deists, I may have written it restricted, but I do not know. Let us read and see.

In what I wrote restricted, indirectly I explain. indirectly, so that it leans a little in that direction. We say, that is, (?) so-and-so loves Allah and His Messenger very much. Truly, between Allah and himself, a realm of the heart. A person as Allah Almighty wants. With the events Allah Almighty has created in line with this person's own state and condition, his wish and desire, He makes this person a witness to himself and to those around him. And the person proves what he is in this way. Here is the restriction of the meaning I mentioned a moment ago. Look, let us read that part. Let us say so-and-so loves Allah and His Messenger very much.

Truly, between Allah and himself, a realm of the heart: do you know what this means? Between Allah and himself, a realm of the heart: one versed in the manifestations, seeing many realms; this part covers it in this way. A witness as Allah Almighty wants, this time. I am turning it. One who has reformed his nafs, a witness as He wants. With the events Allah Almighty has created in line with this person's own state and condition, his wish and desire, He makes this person a witness to himself and to those around him. I turned it to himself. We closed that part. That is, we closed the realm of the heart between Allah and himself.

We turned this to the outward. And the person, what he is, proves in this way. He knows himself. But toward those around him and toward Allah Almighty too, he proves himself this way. His (?) this in this way is so that the questions people would ask Allah Almighty are cut off. If He had not had these people's state and condition revealed, then in the hereafter, with people we thought bad attaining high stations, people would have come to the point of questioning Allah Almighty. So-and-so had these bad traits. Today I see this person in the highest station. What is the wisdom in this? they would say.

So Allah, without having these people's state and condition revealed through their deeds, without displaying to people those who love Allah and His Messenger, does not take their lives. That is, "Did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you are?", according to that verse, He does not take their lives. Now here I call out to the superstitious. Now I call out to the superstitious. Just as the prophets said "I am Allah's messenger", since Allah will never again send a prophet to earth, and since Muhammad (peace be upon him), as the Seal of the Prophets, brought prophethood to an end, since Allah Almighty will complete His religion until the Day of Judgment, He raises scholars. Scholars.

And He has the superstitions that entered the religion removed by these scholars. According to this verse, I too now, taking you, Allah and myself as witnesses, say that I too am charged with a duty.

We prove it in the light of the verses, to remove superstitions. The burden of this is mine, not yours. I am responsible before Allah Almighty. I will give account for it. I will give my account to my Lord. Yes. I will give my account to my Lord. I am a person who fears my Lord. If there is anyone to be feared, it is I, says Allah Almighty. And if there is anyone to be loved, it is I, He says. If I am conveying my duty to you, if a command my Lord gave me I am conveying to you, believe it or not. The Prophet also conveyed. Who believed, believed; who did not, did not. How will you believe? By the words coming out of his mouth.

Well, it does not fit in my mind. Then think a little. Think a little. Is it your being bound by superstitions that holds? Or is it this man's telling the truth that holds? Think a little.

If everything said until now, in the light of the verses, this man has melted down, if he has shown everyone's words wrong in the light of the verses and melted them down, a person who seeks no wisdom in this has deified his nafs, has had his mind mortgaged, and is no different from a person living in that age of ignorance.

Yes. How much more plainly can we say it? there is probably nothing to be said more plainly than this; if I am not a person who lives up to what I say, here you are: verses, Allah's verses, ask me whatever you like in the light of these verses, I say, whatever comes to mind, ask: from fiqh, aqidah, kalam, ask whatever you want, ask from the verses. Well, if in the verse translations done until now I found over five hundred mistakes and presented them to you, if I freed them from ascribing attributes to Allah, from ascribing attributes to His Messenger, if you could not grasp anything from my talks and understand it, if you have deified your own nafs and turned your back on Allah's truth, then between you and me: leküm dînüküm ve liye dîn.

Yes. I am delivering the command; believe it or not. I am doing my duty, telling the truth; that I am on the wrong path, if you prove it with verses, I will kiss your hand, I always say, because I am a person in love with and longing for Allah, who, while wishing for Allah's mercy, does not want to incur His wrath. Come on, bring it on, I say, look. That is an arena. Go ahead. Let us debate with whichever verses you want. People who know Arabic grammar included. All of them may come. But with sound reason. Not with feelings of the nafs. Not by following Satan's footsteps. Sound reason. In good conscience.

In good conscience. Allah's command. Go ahead. Let us debate with verses. Let us explain to people. Let us explain.

The account that people who, out of self-interest, for fear of losing those around them, act within the pride and arrogance of the feelings of the nafs will give tomorrow before Allah, they themselves know, not me. I am doing my duty. He will not be able to say: My Allah, if this was a servant of Yours charged with a duty, why did You not let me hear of him? Look what my Lord decrees, what He tells me: I will make you heard in the seven realms, He said; He is making it heard in the seven realms, making it heard, through the internet the seven nations listen. I do not say anything in vain, and I tell you too: whoever, against these verses, comes out wanting to debate me brings harm on himself, because I am telling the truth; if he comes to learn, he has a place of honor with me.

Let me teach him this knowledge. Let me teach this knowledge. One by one: Allah and His Messenger, no one can ascribe attributes to. Since Allah's verses do not belie one another, no one can explain Allah's verses in a way that belies Allah's verses. No one can remove the address Elestü bi-Rabbiküm and tie the covenant to the world. No one can remove the partial will from man and have Allah's will used over man. If you do not know, let me teach you these verses. I am charged with this. This is exactly how superstitions will come out. This is how superstitions will come out of the religion. Not in the history of the Republic, but for 150 to 170 years they have been trying to insert them.

So every 200 years Allah Almighty sends a blessed (?). And he removes such superstitions from the religion. Their hundreds of years of effort and the trillions of money they spent, Allah Almighty thus wipes out. Here is a verse for that too. They set traps, He says. And We are the best of those who set traps, He says. That is, We wrong no one outside their nafs, outside their destiny. But since Allah will complete His light, We run everything within Our program, He says. We are the best of those who set traps, He says. Yes.

Instead of coming at me saying superstitions, you are sowing discord in the religion, instead of saying that to a person who explains like this, why don't you come out and explain the verses yourself? (?). Let us listen to you too. No. Since you know so much, come out and explain, let us listen to you. If you really explain very well, let us come and kneel at your feet.

Look, if I say this in such a sincere, humble manner, and you still, with the stubbornness of your nafs, following Satan's footsteps, come out against the truth with these superstitions, then the rest is up to you. I am doing my duty. And you will do your duty, of course. You will do your duty, so that these get heard.

Yes.

From where will people unaware of this knowledge open these verses? People who have not been blessed with Allah's inspiration. People not acquainted with our Lord's manifestations, people who Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Prophet, in their lifetime have perhaps not seen even once, yes, people who could not reform their nafs, those who, with love of the world, still are absorbed in themselves, who, though Muslim, the hereafter realm still live in (?) like a dream; to you I sincerely say: those who pass for scholars, you know, me they do not love, but I am obliged to tell the truth; those who (?) have not risen, you know, those not acquainted with the manifestations, all of them in assumptions, about the hereafter realm all of them in assumptions. So are they unbelievers?

No, never. Deeds depend on intention; we have come to an unseen realm; he has said the testimony of faith, he is a Muslim. But he is unaware of the verses, in which case he is unaware of himself too. They are like sleepwalkers.

Discuss what I am saying a little.

Weighing it against your nafs and your mind, taking your place beside the truth, to what I say lend an ear a little. If this word of mine is wrong, I am ready to give my head. I will give my head, my head. My word is my word. Come, I will give you my head. Not risen to nafs al-mutmainna. Not acquainted with the manifestations. If you are not in assumption about the hereafter.

Yes.

We continue with the verse. Allah Almighty is aware of what you do. Allah, who is aware in every particle of the universe, from whom nothing hidden is veiled, just as He is aware of everything that is done, so of the wishes and desires passing through hearts He is aware. By what is He aware? We know the secrets of your hearts, He says. We are nearer to you than your jugular vein, He says. Yes. Near by what? By the characters He gave us according to the covenant we gave at the address Elestü bi-Rabbiküm, near.

As we opened in earlier verses, here too it is useful to touch briefly on the opening of past verses. In the atoms of the created magnetic and antimagnetic substances there are positively and negatively charged nuclei. These nuclei, by spinning around their own axes, form a magnetic field. This magnetic field, when it turns around its own axis, makes a sound; though we do not hear it, it remembers Allah. It remembers Allah. So, the verse: the heavens and the earth and what is between them have known the remembrance of their Lord. So what? If it remembers Allah, ah, look, it will symbolize tawhid, tawhid.

When you ask "so what will it be?", La ilahe illallah will come out. How will it come out? If it remembers Him itself. Today a factory produces a product, takes its patent and stamps its symbol on it. Allah Almighty too created this universe, the heavens and earth and what is between them, and its symbol He stamped by making it remember His essence. And this symbolizes tawhid. Plus, it gives off a signal, a signal. All those signals, within frequencies, are programmed to Allah Almighty. Any movement, any desire, any wish anywhere in the universe, our Lord: We know. Yes. So Allah, of what everyone does, is aware.

Allah Almighty is aware of all that people do. He sees them. He knows what passes through hearts and the secrets of hearts. We have said.
