Al-Kahf 51: I did not make them (Satan and his lineage) witnesses to the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor to their own creation. I will not take those who went astray as helpers.

Surah Al-Kahf, verse 51.

Yes.

I did not make them, Iblis and his offspring, witnesses to the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor to their own creation. I would not take those who go astray as helpers, it says. Pay attention to this verse. What does it say? I did not make them, Iblis and his offspring, witnesses to the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor to their own creation, it says. So there are people whom Allah Almighty makes witnesses.

Yes. You can't grasp it, can you? People whom Allah Almighty makes witnesses, witnesses to Himself — there are such. These, in the nafs-i safiye, the Qutb al-aqtab — regarding some animal Allah created, how He created that animal and how He created it so that it would face no hardship in any of the tasks it will do — people whom He made witnesses to how He created it, there are. Just as in the address Elestü bi Rabbiküm, when He said, I am your Lord, the Prophet, beside Him as a confirmer, said, Yes, this is our Lord; beside that, although the Prophet is alive, although he came as a mercy to the worlds — in our time, scholars as heirs of the Prophet; when Allah Almighty created certain beings, that He, as Lord, is the Creator, and (?) that He is, to His servants to come, His servants over time, those servants of His too, yes, to His servants too, how He created (?), and that they in no way, and their creations would in no way suffer hardship in the task they will do — a person He made witness to this exists. Yes. I am one of them.

I am a witness. There is no deficiency in Allah Almighty. None of the beings He created will be able to complain to Allah Almighty, saying, You created me deficient for the task I am to do. Yes. I did not make them, Iblis and his offspring, witnesses to the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor to their own creation. I would not take those who go astray as helpers, it says. Helper. It's not as if Allah needs help. What does He do? Among people, witnesses who will bring about the confirmation of His being — to witnesses, with witnesses, Allah Almighty strengthens the existence of His being. Did these witnesses not tell you either?

Did these witnesses too not see and, to turn you to your Lord, not tell you the necessary examples, the necessary events? He will say. Yes. This verse tells of the secret and the secret of the secret. Allah Almighty has written out everything in the Quran. The wet and the dry are in the Quran. Allah is the Creator. He does not take those who have gone astray as His helpers. For this reason, those who obey Him — when He made a covenant with them in the (?) realm and wrote their destinies for them — in His pre-eternal knowledge Allah knew as these obedient people. By Allah's greatness, the freedom of His being and His being able to do all things, that He created His creations with His knowledge so that they would be content with their state, so that no created being, once created, would complain about its creation regarding the task it is to do — this is how they have been created.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, The wali of my community is like a prophet of the Children of Israel; persons who have attained the secret of this hadith — in order that Allah's strength and power be told to people, to those He loves, some of His creations, not while creating them but after they were created — it is the showing of their state. Beyond this is the secret of the secret; only those who know that rank and state understand. For this reason, since Allah is free of deficient attributes, since He brings forth every question that could come to the human mind, no one will be able to question Allah or ask Him anything.

Allah does not take as helpers those who keep people from Allah's path. Yes.
