What is said in the video
Surah Ash-Shu'ara, verse 150. "So fear Allah and obey me," it says. After giving them a good deal of advice: now fear Allah. He explains all events with their inner nature.
We too say to people: O people! You who deny Allah! Nothing comes into being by itself, out of nowhere. Look at the order of this universe. The earth, the sun and moon system, the lunar system, Allah Almighty has placed in the sky. This is not something that could happen by itself. Look at this earth completing its rotation around its own axis in 24 hours. 40,000 kilometers. It completes it neither less nor more. Look at this earth revolving around the sun. 365 days and 6 hours. It completes it neither less nor more. Look at the seasons. Did these bodies come into being by themselves, out of nowhere, and in this way appear to people?
Man, don't go far. If your eyes are that blind, look at yourself. Your eyes are a Polaroid camera. You know, it takes it and gives it out instantly. Stronger than that.
Your ears are a radio receiver. They don't pick up every sound. They don't hear every sound.
Your lungs are a laboratory. Even a laboratory as big as the world, it says, could only just do the work your lungs do, it says.
Look at your heart. Under the one atmosphere of pressure of the 82-, 83-kilometer layer of air, at sea level, with the one atmosphere of pressure your heart pumps, it keeps you in balance. Did these come about by themselves? Have you no sense at all?
Yes.
That is why man is to reflect. His Creator; where did he come from, where is he going? Yunus Emre also says it so beautifully. "One who cannot know where he came from and where he goes is an animal," he says. Yes. "So fear Allah and obey me," it says. That much he tells.
After the prophet Salih had warned his people, "So fear Allah and obey me," he said. Because his people had even come to a (?) state in their rebellion. In this situation, Salih (peace be upon him), that Allah's wrath on them is near, (?). For this reason he keeps warning his people.
Yes.
