Yunus 9: And for those who have believed and committed salih deeds due to their faith, their Lord will lead them to paradises full of bounties, beneath which rivers flow.

Verse 9 of Surah Yunus As for those who believe and do good deeds, because of their faith, their Lord, in gardens full of blessings, will bring them to palaces beneath which rivers flow.

As we always say, and as we will say even more, Allah Almighty does not tell us: earn and give it to Me. He does not say: work with hardship in the world and give part of it to Me. How does He not say give, Hodja? He makes us give zakat, doesn't He? From my earnings He makes me give zakat, doesn't He? Then let Him not. You give that zakat for yourself. What are you doing? If you knowingly, (?), earned unlawfully, if you put the unlawful into your wealth, the unlawful, by giving the zakat of that wealth you purify your wealth. One, you are not giving it to Allah. You have performed worship for yourself.

Two, you are sending provisions ahead to the hereafter. Again you are not giving it to Allah. In that case, Allah Almighty, if, for the health given to us, this life, and because He created us close to His Essence, His creating us the noblest of creatures on earth, making us vicegerents of the earth, showering so many blessings on us, in return, man, as a human, it is impossible that he could repay Allah for this mercy. No one can live up to this. No one at all.

So what does Allah want from us? Allah, since He gave us of His spirit so that His Essence be known, wants His Essence to be known. That is all. Accordingly, He showers it down. He showers it down.

He is hidden to the unseeing eyes.

May Allah give us all good comprehension.

Otherwise, beneath Allah's mercy, no servant, by what he did, when called to account; you cannot be saved. No person. That person's only way of salvation is to know his Lord, to say Allah, not to go against His command, as much as he can, not beyond his strength, as much as he can, to continue his worship, to eat and drink without waste, and to pass on to the hereafter. To strive for Allah Almighty's mercy. Yes.

So, as for those who believe and do good deeds, because of their faith, that is, because they know that there is no god but Allah,

that He is the absolute Owner and Power of this universe, because they know it, Allah Almighty, the provision of all His creations, every moment, without sleep or drowsiness seizing Him, without doing even an atom's weight of injustice to any creation; because He gives them their provision, no created being can repay this mercy of Allah. Yes. So, to those who comprehend these things, Allah Almighty, in gardens full of blessings, full of endless, inexhaustible blessings, in gardens full of blessings, beneath which rivers flow... I mean, now, we go on a picnic. To mountains, hills, valleys, places where a river flows between them, to those waterfalls, right around them, on that greenery we pitch a tent. Something nice we prepared, sir, we light the grill, we grill meatballs, pleasure and delight, the stream flowing, fish passing by, the birds chirping, sir, (?), you are freed from (?), one day a week, for a few hours you live. A few hours.

I say: O man, the (?) beauty of this is in the hereafter, with gardens beneath which, that is, beside which rivers flow, within an eternal, endless life, life does not end, does not run out. Around you young maidens are offering you sherbets and wines that will not make your head spin.

Allah Almighty placing the youths, whom no jinn has touched, at your command,

your sitting on those thrones, in palaces,

compared to the blessings of this world, this world's blessings, let us say, next to that count as a little bit of blessing. A little blessing. Yes. Allah Almighty says so anyway. What is the world's little blessing? Do not abandon Allah, deceived, deceived by its little blessing. Allah Almighty created these worlds for the sake of the Beloved of the All-Glorious, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Allah, who says "Had it not been for you, I would not have created these worlds", so that His Essence be known, created His Beloved, and through him, indirectly, all people. Now some people, some people: "Had it not been for you, I would not have created these worlds." There is no such thing, they say.

And I laugh.

There is no such verse, they say. And they deny Ve mâ erselnâke illâ rahmeten li'l-âlemîn. Now: Had it not been for you, I would not have created these worlds. That verse, from Ve mâ erselnâke illâ rahmeten li'l-âlemîn. Look how we reconcile them. Not according to my own mind, mind you. When Allah Almighty willed to be known, did He create the light of the Prophet or not? He did. And from his light did He create these worlds? Without him there would be no worlds anyway. It is that simple. Without him these worlds would not exist. So: Had it not been for you, I would not have created these worlds.

Then why did He create the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)? So that His Essence be known. He took him as His beloved. To see His Essence in his essence. He created him so that he be (?). He created him to see His Essence in a mirror. In that case, from his light He created the worlds, the angels included, the devils included, and indirectly from his spirit people. From his spirit. So: Had it not been for you, I would not have created these worlds. Ve mâ erselnâke illâ rahmeten li'l-âlemîn: he is a mercy to the worlds. Because, since all the worlds were created from his light and people from his spirit, he is the first created, and, since he was created, the one who came as a mercy to all worlds, the greatest of all created beings, the greatest of created beings.

Then, greater than him, Allah Almighty who created him. Allah Almighty, who rules eternally in the universe, who knows the secret of creation. His will was that His Essence be known.

If we go deeper, He willed that His Essence be known through His Essence. He gave him of His spirit. Of His spirit. So, if Allah Almighty, who gave him of His spirit and created these worlds from his light, willed His Messenger and created these worlds, His saying: had it not been for you, I would not have created these worlds, and then saying there is no such verse, is that it? Is it after your short mind has understood what the verses are that you decide like this?

Yes. Allah Almighty created these worlds for the sake of the Beloved of the All-Glorious, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Why? Because He willed that His Essence be known. I created him to see My Essence in his essence, He says. Süleyman, Hazrat Süleyman says so too.

My Essence, mirror, mirror, he says, in the mirror: I took you as a mirror. That is, I created you as a mirror. I created you to see My Essence. So He creates these worlds for his sake too. Allah, who says "Had it not been for you, I would not have created these worlds": so what does Allah Almighty want from people? What does He want? Just as His Beloved knows Allah's Essence, He willed that people too, in proportion to their own comprehension, know Allah's existence. Because He gave people the blessing of reason. The blessing of reason. Every mind knows that a Lord created it. It knows that a Lord created it.

Yes. So Allah promises that, His Essence being known by His creations, to those who obey Him He will give great rewards in return for their obedience. That is: I created you. I created you, but in no way did I compel you Myself or use My own will over you. I left you free with your own will. With your own desire and wish, with a portion I gave you from My Essence, with a great value I gave you, in the direction of your own desire and wish, your own wish, whatever you yourselves asked of Me, I gave. I wrote you yourselves, your wish, for you as destiny, He says. I wrote it. In that case, to those who know Me by their own will, within an endless life, an endless abode of bliss, paradise I have given, He says. But those who do not use their minds and (?) are in pride and fame, as for those who, with their arrogance, are in self-importance: although they know they were created by a Lord, because they deny Allah who created them, We will leave them exposed to the fire of hell.

And eternally, He says. Eternally.

Yes.

Just as His Beloved knows Allah's Essence, He willed that people too, in proportion to their own comprehension, know Allah's existence. Because when Allah was (?) with His Essence, there was none who knew Him other than His Essence. That is, He was a hidden treasure. So Allah promises that, His Essence being known by His creations, to those who obey Him He will give great rewards in return for their obedience. Allah's promise is true. So people who have faith and believe in Allah and the hereafter, those who rely on Allah and submit, will settle in the palaces and mansions in the gardens Allah promised.

The hardship of the world, its wealth and poverty, its pain and joy, pain and joy, will end in the hereafter for the servants who know Allah, and they, in great happiness, will attain eternal bliss. Eternal bliss.
