Translation

And they found a servant among Our servants, to whom We had given mercy from Our side and to whom We taught the divine secret knowledge (ilm-i Ledunnu) from Our side.

Tafsir

Hadrat Musa 'alaihis-salâm' returned back on their trail. When they found the rock where the dead fish had been resurrected, they met Khidr 'alaihis-salâm', one of the servants of Allah (swt), on the rock.

Allah (swt) bestowed a mercy on Hızır aleyhisselâma and gave him a lifetime until the Day of Resurrection, and Allah (swt) also taught Hızır aleyhisselâma the knowledge of the ledunna. Ledunnu knowledge is Allah's revelation to some of His righteous servants of the inner side of events that people cannot understand and do not know the inside of the business.

There are also people who have the knowledge of Ledunna. People who have this knowledge will come and go in the world until the Day of Judgment.

Some of Allah's wise servants, who have gained the closeness of Allah (swt), have this knowledge.

What is said in the video

Surah Al-Kahf, verse 65. Then they found one of Our servants, to whom We had given mercy from Us and whom We had taught the ledunni knowledge from Our side. Moses (peace be upon him) turns back on his tracks. At the place where the dead fish came back to life, when they were at the rock where they had taken refuge, when they found the rock, on the rock they meet Khidr, one of the servants of Allah Almighty, (peace be upon him). It means Allah Almighty gave Khidr (peace be upon him) mercy from Him, granted him a life until the Day of Judgment, and also that Allah Almighty taught Khidr (peace be upon him) the ledunni knowledge.

That is it. Ledunni knowledge means: the inner side of events which people do not know, because they cannot understand them, Allah Almighty makes known to some of His saintly servants. There are also people who have ledunni knowledge. People who have this knowledge will keep coming into the world and leaving it until the Day of Judgment. And the sultan of ledunni knowledge is the Prophet (peace be upon him). Some of Allah's saintly servants who have gained the nearness of Allah Almighty are versed in this knowledge.

When we say they are versed in this knowledge: this knowledge is not a familiar kind of knowledge. You know how you read something and grasp it, or understand it, it is not that kind of knowledge. This knowledge is a knowledge facing the (?) of Allah Almighty. Most people do not know inspiration. Allah Almighty tells a human being: from such-and-such a place, go to such-and-such a place, but he does not know what he will do. He goes. Why he went, Allah Almighty makes known to him. That which He makes known is the knowledge. In this case, according to the verse that says the keys of the unseen are in Allah's hand, since only Allah knows the unseen, He gives the (?) of ledunni news from the unseen.

Go and pray for this one. Why? He is in such-and-such a situation. Go and make a hole in this ship. Why? Later a king will take it. It is these children's livelihood. Make it (?) so that the king does not seize it. This is our Lord Himself, from the knowledge of the unseen — the keys of the unseen are in Allah's hand — making it known to the person, (?). Now come and try to find this yourself. But you will have to reach a certain station. You will have to reform your nafs. You will have to enter among Allah's (?) servants. Here, if you can look into that knowledge and have a faith that can be up to it, our Lord will surely give it to you.

Yes.
