Ta-Ha 123: Allah said, “Descend all out of there (the Paradise) with animosity towards each other! When My guidance comes to you, those who follow My guidance will not go astray or be ruined!”

Surah Taha, verse 123: He said: as enemies to one another, go down from there, from Paradise, all of you. Then when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance will not go astray and will not be wretched.

Allah Almighty said: go down from there, all of you. That is, leave Paradise. Because all souls are in the realm of (?). Yes, no one will enter there; only after living the worldly life will the Muslims who go there with faith enter Paradise. Allah Almighty said: go down from there, all of you, that is, leave Paradise.

What is meant by this: if our forefather Adam, being in Paradise, had not made such a mistake and left Paradise, people, without coming to the visible world, would have continued their lives in Paradise. Now, since among people there are those who rebel against Allah and deniers, and since for them the Gardens are forbidden, Allah Almighty tests all people in the visible world, an unseen realm, and after holding them as witnesses against their own selves, after holding them as witnesses, so as to send them to the places they deserve, He said: go down from there, that is, before entering Paradise, all of you, live out your own wishes in worldly life.

Then each of you return to the places you deserve, He said. Now, in the meaning of this verse there is a fine subtlety. What does the verse say? He said: as enemies to one another, go down from there, from Paradise, all of you. Well, were we all in Paradise, that it tells us that meaning? "All of you, go down from Paradise." Look, can you think about the subtlety here? Now, pay attention to this.

Yes?

Pay attention here. Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172.

Even if I opened it wrongly, let me read the correct one so I can explain its subtlety to you. So that you would not say on the Day of Resurrection, "We were unaware of this," We made the descendants who would emerge from the children of Adam witnesses over themselves. The purpose of His saying "go down from there, all of you": when Allah Almighty created our forefather Adam in human form and set up the human factory together with our mother Eve, the offspring of this factory would come from our forefather Adam. So, since all people come from the offspring of our forefather Adam, our forefather Adam's leaving Paradise is all people's leaving Paradise.

How beautiful — Allah Almighty says His verses so beautifully, for people who think and who are (?): He said: as enemies to one another, go down from there, from Paradise, all of you. Remember: We made a covenant with those who would emerge from the loins of the children of Adam. With those who would emerge from the loins of the children of Adam. Or did We say We brought out from the offspring of the children of Adam (?) their offspring and made a covenant with them? Allah forbid. We made a covenant with those who would emerge from the offspring of the children of Adam. If they are to emerge from the offspring of the children of Adam, our forefather is Adam, our father.

If he left Paradise, we all left Paradise. Yes. So: all of you, go down from there. To the world. Then, once the good are separated from the bad, we will go to Paradise (?), of course. Yes.

"Then when guidance comes to you from Me, he will not go astray and will not be wretched" — according to this verse, Allah's guidance to people is the prophets and books He sent to people. Whoever, regarding Allah's guidance, that is, His straight path, Allah's commands and prohibitions, follows them, believes in His prophets and goes the way Allah has shown — such people never change their path and go astray, nor do they become wretched. Because to the people who in this world believe in Allah and His prophets without seeing, and who carry out Allah's commands, Allah Almighty will, on the Day of Resurrection, treat them with His mercy and will reward them.

To some whose ranks are high He will also give the right of intercession. He will not (?) them either. I, too, have never been wretched in life. Never. But knowingly, apart from human absent-mindedness, knowingly, after I came to grasp His existence, I have not done anything crooked against Allah Almighty. Yes. In this situation, ever since I came to know Him, since my youth, since I came to know Him, whatever I wished for, whatever I wanted, my Lord never made me wretched. He always gave. He gave everything. Anyway, we are ashamed to ask for worldly possessions; we are content without them. What do we ask for?

What do we ask for? What does a person of faith, a person of strong faith, ask for? O Allah, do not separate us from You. Join us to Your righteous servants. And to be able to say that, we must behave like His righteous servants. Even if we cannot, we must strive. So, in the hereafter, when our life is complete and we come into Your presence, receive us with a smiling face. At that Supreme Court, do not disgrace us, do not humiliate us, O Allah. Gather us with the servants You love — this is what we want. The world passes anyway. Food and drink — Allah guarantees our sustenance and gives it. Yes. This is our prayer.

That is why, whatever I asked for, more than enough — I was never wretched. I only asked for this much: My Lord, the non-Muslims have many places. We do not have a place to remember You. We said: if only we had at least a place as small as a kitchen to remember You. My Lord gave a huge building. How did He give it? He opened my way. I set up a factory. I worked in the factory. We obtained many proofs. Then we prepared these places. We said: we did not come into the world to plough the fields. Enough. What will we do? From now on we will work for the truth. (?). Along with that perfection, we also wrote commentaries on these.

We wrote Quran translations. We wrote the luminous work of dark paths. We sifted through 7,300 hadiths. Thanks be to Allah. I try to fulfil my duty to my Lord in this world. And I am still trying to tell (?) my Lord.
