Tafsir

Humans are created with the need to trust and rely on something. People who trust and rely on Allah establish intimacy with Allah and are patient and patient with what comes from Him. They seek Allah's pleasure and act accordingly. People who have no faith in Allah and the Hereafter, on the other hand, are fond of Allah's creatures and rely on them. This is the example of a person who forgets Allah (swt) and relies on the wealth that Allah (swt) has given him and forgets the owner of that wealth. In this respect, this person has been cruel to his ego.

This is the man who is cruel to his soul, and when he enters his vineyard he says. He says, "I don't think it will ever disappear. However, Allah, the Creator of the worlds, is omnipotent. He can destroy everything in an instant, but He can also open new doors for people at their lowest point, when they have no hope. This is God's will for human beings.

What is said in the video

In verse 35 of Surah Al-Kahf: wronging himself like this, with pride and arrogance, he entered his garden. He said: I do not think this will ever perish.

That Allah Almighty has power over all things, that if He wished He would (?) everything in an instant, that in an instant, having power over all things, He would create, the poor human who forgets this, whose eyes see only the world, deceived by the temptation that the devil gives to his nafs. By their creation, people feel the need to trust and rely on something. People who trust and rely on Allah build closeness with Allah. They are content with what comes from Him and are patient. This is the finest wealth, the finest faith and the finest support: to trust in the Owner of the worlds. We have no other way out.

They seek Allah's pleasure and act accordingly. People who have no faith in Allah and the Hereafter, however, become attached to what Allah created. They lean their backs on what Allah Almighty created and trust in them. The person given as an example here, too, forgetting Allah Almighty, is the example of a person who trusts in the wealth Allah gave and forgets the Owner of that wealth. In this respect, this is this person being a wrongdoer against his own nafs.

This man, who wrongs his own nafs, says this when he enters his garden: I do not think this will ever perish, he says. Yet Allah, who created the worlds, has power over all things. Just as He can raze everything to the ground in an instant, at people's hardest time, at a moment when they have no hope left, He also opens new doors before them. This is Allah's decree for people. We test you with your wealth and your lives, says Allah Almighty. Yes.
