Say; “We believe in Allah, in what has been sent down to us, in what was sent down to the Prophets Abraham, Ismaeel, Jacob and the offspring, Moses and Jesus and in what was given to all other Prophets without differentiating between them; we only submit to Allah”.

Tafsir

Allah (swt) through His Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) addressed the people and said, "Believe and have faith in the Book and the Prophets sent by Allah (swt), which is one of the principles of the religion of Islam and one of its Sharia provisions. Say: "We believe in what has been revealed to us, that is, in the Holy Qur'an, in what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Ya'kup and the sons of Ya'kup, and in what was given to Moses, Jesus and the other prophets by their Lord, that is, in the Book and its commands. We do not distinguish between any of them.

Why do we not distinguish between any of the prophets? Islam is a person who believes in Allah. The Prophets are one nation, descended from each other, but all of them are of the Islamic nature. In this respect, to deny them means to leave Islam, which means to disbelieve in Islam, which means to disbelieve in the original and to disobey this verse sent by Allah, which leads to disbelief.

In the ages before the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born, Allah (swt) sent prophets to tribes and tribes of people. He used to introduce Himself to those tribes through His prophets. After the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born, this was the time when reason came into play and people began to advance in knowledge. In this respect, since Allah (swt) has sent all the books He has sent by Himself, He has gathered them together and combined them in the Holy Qur'an. In this respect, He sent the Holy Qur'an as a single Book to all the worlds, to humanity. All people, whether they believe in Allah or not, are obliged to believe in the Qur'an. It is because of this obligation that whoever does not believe in the Qur'an and in the last religion sent by Allah and His Messenger, they are disbelievers according to Allah's command.

Say, 'To Him alone do we submit. When man thinks rationally, he realizes that he was not created out of nowhere and that he was not created by chance. The human being is equipped with knowledge from head to toe. Today's technology has shown that it is incapable of finding a cure for many of the diseases in man and is powerless against these germs. As Allah (swt) has made Himself known to mankind in an unmistakable way, man knows that he has a Creator and that he has been created by this Creator for a mission, and that it is obligatory for man to know his Lord, as this mission has been made known to him. He who abandons this obligation becomes a disbeliever. So say, 'We are believers in Allah, and to Him alone are we submitted.

What is said in the video

To verse 84.

Say: We believe in Allah, in what was sent down to us, in what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the sons of Jacob, in what was given to Moses, Jesus and the others by their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them. We surrender only to Him.

This is the very principle of Islam. What is it? Islam will believe in all the prophets. In all the prophets. It will also believe in all the books sent by Allah. Then it will believe in the hereafter. It will believe in resurrection after death. It will believe in Allah's angels.

In the honour of this faith. Yes, in this case, a person, in the direction of Allah Almighty wanting what kind of person we should be, when we (?) and become a person in the direction He says, we remain recipients of Allah's grace. Yes, yes. Well: Say, we believe in Allah, in what was sent down to us, in what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the sons of Jacob, in what was given to Moses, Jesus and the other prophets by their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, we surrender only to Him, it says. It is Allah Almighty, His prophets, Hz. Muhammad and the Prophet too, addressing people: of the principles of what was sent down and of its sharia rulings, believe in all the books sent by Allah and in the prophets, and have faith, he decrees.

For this reason, for this reason say: in what was sent down to us, that is, the Holy Quran, in what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the sons of Jacob, Moses, Jesus and the other prophets, in what was given by their Lord, that is, the books and their commands, we believe. We make no distinction between any of them. Well, Hodja, may Allah be pleased with you, he says. They must have understood. God willing. Yes. Why do we make no distinction between any of the prophets? A Muslim is a person who believes in Allah. The prophets, while being a single community descended from one another's offspring, are all upon the nature of Islam.

For this reason, denying them means leaving Islam, which, since it amounts to denying its origin and opposing this verse sent by Allah, leads a person to unbelief.

In earlier ages before Islam came, Allah Almighty sends prophets to people who were tribe by tribe, and through their prophets they make Him known to those tribes.

The times when Islam came are the times when reason came into play and people began to advance in knowledge. For this reason Allah Almighty, since He sent all the books He sent from Himself, gathered them, that is, collected them, and united them with the Holy Quran. For this reason He sent the Holy Quran to all the worlds, to humanity, as a single book. That is, from now on minds came into play. We have perfected our religion.

We gave you the name Islam. From now on, He says, whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, that religion will never benefit him. That religion will never benefit him. In this case Allah Almighty, with the religion of Islam, all that is, with the Holy Quran, all the books He gathered, gathered all the books, and since no prophet will come again until the Day of Judgment, since He perfected His religion, to the generations to come too, the 50th century to pass, He has set it before the families, the people, and that He first created, as the first of humans, the Seal of the Prophets, Hz. Muhammad (peace be upon him), that his religion is acceptable until the Day of Judgment and its honour is of the highest degree, in order to give him great stations, to give them, He sends him as the last prophet.

He equips him with the most perfect religion. And He holds his community as witness over the other communities. And by holding the Prophet as witness over the other prophets, He gives the Messenger of Allah the Maqam Mahmud. After this, He says, there is neither a prophet nor for you a Quran, a book. It is all here. The wet and the dry are in the Quran. All the worlds are programmed according to this Quran. Yes.

For all people, whether they believe in Allah or not, believing in the Quran has been made obligatory. Whether believer or unbeliever. It is obligatory for all people. Why? It is obligatory. The Prophet (peace be upon him): wa ma arsalnaka illa rahmatan lil-alamin. He is a mercy to the worlds. In the Quran there are some things my tongue does not dare, but let me say it: like the hodjas saying the Quran was sent down to Muslims, may Allah protect us. They say this, you hear it, I mean. The Quran came to Muslims. May Allah protect us. Since the Quran, since the Messenger of Allah came to the worlds, although the Quran was sent down to the Prophet (peace be upon him), to the worlds, to all people, as a guidance and a guide, a (?), a leader it was sent.

Whoever wishes turns to it, whoever wishes turns his back, passes by, goes away. People are free with their own will, and (?) rulings, before Allah Almighty they are called to account. So whoever acts against Allah's command wrongs his own soul. If they see this transient, perishable world as a blessing, benefit from a little of its blessing, and exchange the home of eternal bliss for this little blessing, such minds are not called minds, and the path such people take is not to be entered. Yes.

For this reason He sent the Holy Quran to all the worlds, to people, as a single book. For all people, whether they believe in Allah or not, believing in the Quran has been made obligatory. It is because of this obligation that whoever does not believe in the Quran, in the last religion Allah sent and in His prophet, according to Allah's command, these have become unbelievers.

Clear. Everything is clear. We surrender only to Him. To whom? To Allah and to the Quran. When a person thinks rationally, he realises that he did not just come about for no reason, and that he was not created by chance either. If man had been created by chance, then in the thousands of years since our father Adam, somewhere again by chance a being would have been created. There is no such thing. Always man, the same man, the same genes, the same, created, two eyes, two ears, ten fingers, two hands, two feet, created upon seven, seven limbs, two feet, two knees, two hands, one head. These are a prostration upon seven limbs.

In this case, is there any other being? Has a being more honourable than man, more by chance, been created anywhere? No. Since there is not, since it continues (?), in the same way,

since the forms are different but the physical structure is the same, it shows that Allah Almighty's forms are endless, it shows that the physical structure is in the same form.

In this case, that Allah's knowledge is endless and that He equipped us with this knowledge, that within this knowledge He gave that human great value, for which I find it useful to remind you of the words of Hazrat Abdulqadir Gilani. I remind you of them from time to time. If man, he says, knew his place with Allah Almighty, la müke illa yevmelih, today the dominion is Mine alone, (?) valuable, he says. Yes. In this case, toward Allah Almighty, who gives man so much value, man does not use his mind. He associates Allah's created servants with Him as partners. According to his mind he sets out to take revenge on Allah, and waits for the Lord in his own imagination.

He deifies his nafs and takes Satan as a friend. At his head, yes, with carnal desires he is deceived by the (?) appearance of the world and, if he tries to extract the pleasure of the world with his own lustful feelings, then that person is a person who wrongs his own soul. These, the path they take is wrong, and they are the very ones who will suffer loss.

These are the ones who, carried away by a small benefit of the world, against the endless life of the hereafter, prefer the world's (?). These are truly pitiful people with their deficient minds. I call them pitiful people.

Say: we surrender only to Him. When a person thinks rationally, he realises that he did not just come about for no reason, and that he was not created by chance either. Man has been made known through a knowledge from beginning to end. Today's technology has seen that it cannot find a cure for many diseases in man and that it is helpless before these microbes. And Allah Almighty, by making Himself known to people openly, beyond doubt, and proving Himself, man knows that he has a creator, and that he was surely created by this creator for a duty, and that, this duty having been made known to him, it is obligatory for man to know his Lord; he knows it.

He knows that it is obligatory for man to know his Lord. O David, how do you know Me? O Lord, I know You as the Creator,

and my nafs as helpless, he says. Now you have known Me, He says. Allah Almighty. In this case, this obligation, and whoever abandons it becomes an unbeliever. For this reason say: we are those who believe in Allah and those who surrender only to Him. A person, realising Allah's existence with his mind, surrendering to Allah. For example, in man there is a liver, the liver. If a laboratory the size of the world were built, it would do what this liver does. The size of the world. In man there are ears, a radio device. Today, he says, if people had heard the scream (?) of the bats in Spain, face to face, pregnant women would in fact have miscarried their children, he says.

Today, that the eye is a camera, the polaroid camera they have produced, even that takes some time, but instantly this eye taking in and giving out, perceiving at once, carrying it to the brain, what is there, determining it there instantly, the heart working until a certain time, where is its spring that is wound? If we were to count further, the brain being a memory, the capillaries in the intestine separating the substances that will or will not be of use to it, the stomach digesting food very nicely together with the pancreas. Today, did these come together by chance, these sciences, these sciences, if there is no creator, if there is no Lord, did this order come about by itself? You see this glass, the glass.

If I said this glass has no maker, would you laugh at me or not? You would laugh. Can this come to this state without its master? So the order of this world, which has not come from the hand of man, by itself, is it? (?) and brought about this order.

So man, as a man, will think a little. What will he think? What will he think?

He will realise how he was created, that he exists and that this has a creator. And that Creator continually warns people. He holds a light before them and symbolises that there is another god besides Him. Yes. Yes.

Allah Almighty makes words above human speech. A human word cannot match that word of Allah. Because it is upon letters, you see, upon letters. Yes, because these are upon letters, for example, we say la, meaning no, la, lam. Here, if we multiply the lam by one another, it becomes Lillah. Lillah. That is, one Allah. If we also remove the e of the lam, it becomes Lehu. That is, it must be that Allah. La. We say ilahe. Ilahe. That is, there is a he here. That god deserves it. He subsists by His being. Hu subsists by His being. Illallah: again, there being no god other than that god. He has always described Himself upon letters.

Upon letters. You speak upon letters too, then. With which letters will you describe yourself? If all these humans and jinn gathered, they could not make a word upon letters. Perhaps they could. But it would form no meaning. In what Allah Almighty created, one, three, five, seven, seventy, and the Messenger of Allah would repent seventy times a day to a (?) of his, he would take seventy meanings from a verse. Toward Allah Almighty he takes the meanings of those verses, and perhaps with Allah there are even more meanings of this. So if Allah proves Himself to us in every way, and you turn your back on Him, with what face will you go into the presence of your owner?

With what face will you ask Him for mercy? With what face will you ask for whatever you wish? One needs to think a little.
