(Devil has done this) so that they will not prostrate before Allah, who reveals the hidden in the heavens and in the earth and knows what you hide and what you reveal.
Tafsir
With this verse, Allah (swt) is informing people that He is omnipotent, that He is aware of everything, that He is the One Who reveals what is hidden in the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, Who knows what we conceal and what we reveal, and that nothing is hidden in Allah's sight, that the darkness of the night and the light of the day are equal in Allah's sight, and that He is aware of what is done within them.
Realizing that the devil was caressing people's souls and leading them away from Allah and that these people would not be able to find the truth on their own, the bird of the sword informed the Prophet Solomon (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) about the state of the Queen of Seba and her people, and that they were prostrating themselves to the sun.
What is said in the video
In Surah An-Naml, verse 25: Satan has done this so that they would not prostrate to Allah, who brings to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and who knows what you conceal and what you reveal. With this verse, Allah Almighty makes known that His Essence is aware of everything, that Allah, who brings to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth and what is between them, who knows what you conceal and what you reveal, has power over all things; He informs people of this, and that nothing remains hidden or concealed in the sight of Allah, that the pitch darkness of night and the light of day are equal in the sight of Allah, that He is aware of what is done in them; this He makes known to people.
Allah Almighty, you see, of people's hearts knows the secrets. In every particle of this whole universe, in its atoms, neutrons and protons, as they spin around their own axes, make a sound; according to the verse "The heavens and the earth and what is between them have known the remembrance of their Lord", with that sound they make, whichever attribute of our Lord He wants them to remember, that attribute they remember. In this case, Allah Almighty, by making everything He created remember His Essence, has stamped them with the seal of His patent. That is, La İlahe İllallah: that there is no god other than this, other than His Essence; by making every particle of all these beings remember His Essence, He has proven that of all this universe He is the absolute ruler and creator.
So, leaving such an Allah, people: understanding that Satan, by flattering people's nafs, draws them away from Allah, and that these people cannot on their own find the right path, the hoopoe told Solomon (peace be upon him) about the state of the Queen of Sheba and her people, that they were prostrating to the sun. In this case, this hoopoe, with a good reason, saved its life.
Since they knew that these animals in Solomon's time would serve as instruments of a miracle, was something extra loaded into them? Because animals talking with humans is out of the question. Their programming too only goes up to a certain point, and the wisdom of their being in dialogue with humans here is that they would serve as instruments of a miracle; so in that time of Solomon (peace be upon him), He says to Solomon: He gives him the knowledge to speak with wolves, with birds. That means every creature talks among its own kind. Every creature. Here some miracles appear. For example, no animal can know our speech.
But Allah Almighty creates causes. A program by which that bird would understand human speech He loaded into it. It has it. That hoopoe has it. In this case, since Solomon also speaks with them, in this case the hoopoe too relates this according to that program. For example, Allah Almighty, if He wills, makes a stone, if He wills, a tree speak. With His program. Did the Prophet (?) not speak? You see, did Jesus not speak as soon as he was born? It is a program. Into that bird's brain, in a way that it understands human speech, that it understands his language and, in its own language, tells Solomon, He loaded such a program.
Yes. Besides, if this were not specific to this hoopoe, I mean, specific to that hoopoe, all birds would listen to and understand our conversations. Yes.
