Ash-Shu'ara 127: “I am not asking for any remuneration for this. The One who will give my reward is the Lord of the worlds.”

We have come to verse 127 of Surah Ash-Shu'ara. For this I ask no payment from you. The one who will give my reward is only the Lord of the worlds, it says. What a beautiful thing he says. I too, when I open up these verses, ask no payment from people. I want people to know Allah's verses as they rightly should. People's faith being blunted by superstitions — I don't want that. So that believing people, through superstitions, don't believe the gilded words that people with ulterior motives speak, attaching themselves to the two-legged taghut and being dragged to ruin, I try to explain Allah's verses to them as they truly are.

For this I ask no payment from you; my reward — the one who will give my reward is only the Lord of the worlds. Since Allah Almighty guarantees the sustenance of His creatures, a scholar, a prophet, one on duty for Allah does not worry about his sustenance; Allah guarantees his sustenance. In this case his only duty is to explain the truth and to carry out the duty properly. Allah Almighty's toward him, or rather that person's toward Allah Almighty duty — he strives to fulfill it without shortcoming, so that tomorrow at the Supreme Court he is not rebuked in His presence, he strives. He strives.

He makes every effort he can.

Now again I'll give you an example from myself.

I've been explaining for forty years. Maybe for fifty years.

I interpreted the whole Quran.

I did, didn't I? You are witnesses.

I sifted through the 7,300 hadiths that Ufuk Marmara calls "Selected Hadiths".

I wrote the book "The Luminous Light of Dark Roads". That spirit, nafs and life — that spirits are something separate, that spirit, nafs and life (?) are separate — I wrote that. We brought out the wrong verses in the Noble Quran. We brought out the wrongly interpreted verses. Isn't that so? And I'm still trying to explain these to you. Do you know how old I am? I've reached eighty. I'm now right at eighty. What did I say? I said I'll explain for my Lord until my last breath. Yes. And I am explaining. With Allah's permission. Inshallah. As long as this soul is in this body, I will explain.

I will carry out my duty, though I expect nothing from people; what does it say: the one who will give my reward is only the Lord of the worlds. For our reward, our Lord already — that is, for our livelihood, our Lord has already given His guarantee; He will give it. Our reward is what? Our reward in the hereafter, the reward Allah will give us; we expect our reward from Him. These places are temporary. What if I were given my reward here? I'll leave it and go. But when you say, I expect my reward from Allah, that is, in the hereafter, the sherbet of the true realm He will give me.

We expect it from Him. We await the sherbet. What would I do with this place? Even if it were not one world but two, I'll leave it and go. I'll leave it and go. Who has ever taken anything along — can you show me? Someone who took something along.

Yes. Hud (peace be upon him), addressing his people: I ask from you, for this duty of mine, no payment at all. Had I asked you for a payment, then, realizing that in return for this duty of conveying I had taken on a job with the aim of earning money, your turning away from me would have been seen as normal. But I ask no payment from you. I am inviting you to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, besides whom there is no other god. As for my reward, it rests only with Allah, the Lord of the worlds, he said. The use of "reward" — mostly, regardless of the existence of property, through people's being invited to Allah, their state of earning merit and sin is declared to people.

Isn't that so? Reward. Merit and sin. Then where will merit and sin be weighed? In the hereafter.

It also means that those who turn to Allah, by Allah who holds the sovereignty of dominion, will be rewarded and provided for. It has that meaning too. That is, as I said a moment ago, Allah guarantees my sustenance. Shall I distrust the One who guarantees my sustenance? Allah forbid. Whatever I will eat, that much is my sustenance. Beyond that, it is all an inheritance I'll leave behind. I will be questioned about that inheritance. Questioned. And the one after me, once I have returned, will eat it with relish. He faces no questioning for it. Because, it says, death is certain, inheritance is halal.

Yes.
