Ali 'Imran 62: Without a doubt, these (stories being told) are the facts. There is no deity but Allah. Certainly, Allah is Azeez (Exalted) and Hakeem (Ultimately-Wise).

Surah Al Imran, verse 62.

These things related are without doubt true and right accounts. The verses. These, made known by the Prophet (peace be upon him), verses are without doubt true accounts. There is no god but Allah. Surely Allah prevails over all things and is Wise. Peace be upon him.

Allah Almighty created these worlds. And according to people's wishes and desires, the worlds He programmed; within this program these worlds will go on. So here, people's denial of the truth, their scattering falsehood over the truth — against this, Allah Almighty says to them: say, is there another god besides Allah? If there were, where has that god been for thousands of years? At least it would have made an echo, a sound. There is no such thing. Oh, some appeared here and there. Like whom? Like Pharaoh. Like whom? Like the Nimrods. What happened? Their end closed in ruin. They became subject to the torment of Hell.

A lame mosquito entering Nimrod's nose gets into his brain. And by having men with mallets beat his head over and over, it kills him.

So the Immortal One, the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden — there is no god but Allah. People have lived through so many modern ages, so many modern ages have sunk, and after these ages, so many modern ages will come. All of them, in need of the light of the verses Allah Almighty sent, on their way will continue. If they turn to their own minds, good luck to them. They will live in darkness and swamp. Like the zaqqum tree that blooms in the swamp, like its flowers — man is honoured, the vicegerent on earth, in appearance a human; so he is the flowers of that swamp, but when he dies he sinks into that swamp and is gone.

Yes. Allah Almighty's saying, 'These things related are without doubt true and right accounts' — that besides His essence there is no god, that created beings were created by His divine essence, that He is kind and merciful toward His creatures, it makes known. What does it say? These things related are without doubt true and right accounts. That is, I am the absolute ruler and power of this universe, says Allah Almighty. This universe, the seven heavens, this space I surrounded with the Throne, these flawless worlds — I created them, says Allah Almighty. These are My property, He says.

How do we know it is His property, Hodja? If we believe the verse, look what it says.

Every soul shall taste death.

The inheritance of the heavens and the earth will remain to Allah. How beautifully it says it. Every soul shall taste death. The inheritance of the heavens and the earth will remain to Allah. Because it is His property, He created it, and in the end we, as trustees over it, Allah's creations, among ourselves by sharing them, come to possess. Then we pass them on to our children. And they, passing them on to their children, it goes from age to age to the coming generations. And again that (?) remains in the world; after all souls have died, this created universe remains to Allah as Allah's inheritance.

Well, does Allah need it? God forbid. So the inheritance remained to Him — this is the inheritance — it remained to Him. This inheritance is in this sense: an inheritance in a figurative sense. What kind of sense? There is no god but Allah. La ilahe illallah. This whole universe and (?) were created by Allah Almighty. He has no spouse, no equal, no partner. So since every soul will taste death, Allah Almighty will be left alone with His creations. Again, since what He created, being His own, remains to Him, He will destroy them if He wills. If He wills. And He will do it. How will He do it? The world will put on the world's finest (?).

Allah Almighty — again, these are figurative. O my Lord, give me to even the least of Your friends, it will say. And Allah Almighty: that least one you say I should give you to, in the world did not incline to you, so shall I now give you to him? He will say. He will roll it up like a rag and throw it into Hell.

Yes. So the inheritances will remain to Him. Under His disposal, He will send all to their places. He will throw the world into Hell too. The same in the verse: rolling it up like a rag, it says, He will throw it into Hell. So, that there is no god but Allah, that what He created is Allah's property — He symbolizes this to us here with His verse. That they were created by His divine essence, that toward His creatures He is kind and merciful, it makes known. Also, since He is the One who guides people and leads them to guidance, so that people, by ascribing attributes to His divine essence, under the burden of sin do not come — so that they do not come under the burden of sin — these things told to you are true and right, He declares.

That is, Allah Almighty — like people ascribing attributes and saying 'Jesus is the son of Allah', like some coming out and saying 'I am God' — says there is no such thing. That Allah has no spouse and no partner, that these shirks are a great sin, and that these things I told you are true and right — from the burden of sin, people to save, are the verses He sent to people. Yes.

So, the One who is true and right, besides whom there is no other god — a Creator — not listening to His word, out of their own selfish desires, on matters about which they have no knowledge, those who enter into argument and oppose one another harm their own selves.

What do the Jews say? We are Allah's close ones, His sons. Hell's torment will not touch us for more than three days, they say. What does Allah Almighty say? Do they have any proof in their hands? Let them show it, He says. About the (?) of religion of which they have no knowledge, do they have proofs in hand at all? Yes.

So truly, people are created capable and also in helplessness created.

Being capable and being in helplessness don't go together, Hodja. If you say, could you explain this a bit?

The most capable of all beings in this whole created universe.

Man has had himself programmed. By Allah Almighty. He has had himself programmed. He has used his partial will. No being other than man, using its own will — except the jinn. They too are not as honoured as man, because in the jinn there is no soul. Man has a soul. Man is honoured. So people are capable; Allah Almighty with man, with the inventions people have made, and in branches of science, training themselves, with their discoveries, Allah Almighty (?) through His creatures. And where is the helplessness here?

Helplessness: up to a certain level, they have been given the knowledge of capability. That is, they have been given a mind able to use twelve percent of its mind. Beyond that, the person is in darkness. That is, in need of Allah. That is, unable to see what lies ahead, with his own mind only within his own frame and circle able to govern himself — that is man. Man has no ability to create. Man has no knowledge of the unseen. And because man is in need of what Allah created, before Allah they are in helplessness.

I suppose it is now understood how capability and helplessness came about. Yes. That is, it says: O man, do not boast of what you have created. Do not rely on it either. You will be returned to Allah, the Owner of everything. Know your Lord and turn to Him. Because you are in helplessness, it says. How does it prove this? With the verse that follows. Surely Allah prevails over all things and is Wise, it says. Yes. Allah Almighty is the One who holds all His creatures under His rule. All beings, with His knowledge, He created, and He programmed all beings, living and lifeless, to Himself.

With what did He program them? Even the particles flying in the air are programmed to Allah Almighty. How are they programmed? The nuclei in their atoms, the neutrons and protons, around their own axes as they spin — through the vibrations, the frequencies they produce — where they are, what they desire, what state they are in, Allah Almighty knows.

A great capacity. Ruling over His creatures within great frequency waves. Yes.

Having created all beings with His knowledge, living and lifeless, all beings to Himself He has programmed. Their — that is, these substances' — even the movements of the plus and minus nuclei in their atoms are directly reported to Him; and encompassing the whole universe with His knowledge, of the most remote and distant of His creatures He knows even the state. In this respect He prevails over all things. And He is Wise.

That is, for what and for which duty He created His creatures — the knowledge and wisdom of this (?) Allah. Of course.
