Tafsir
(Do you not know that the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah?) Do you not know that the intellect that He has given to human beings through His Word, He has created the intellect to know His Essence, so every intellect realizes that it was created by someone and knows that it is Allah. In this respect, do you not know that by using His Word, He makes us witnesses with the testimony of the intellect upon us and says, "The kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah"?
According to the Verse (All souls will taste death), all created beings will one day end in death. According to the Verse (The inheritance of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah), all created beings will die. Since all beings were created by Allah (swt), all beings will remain with Allah (swt).
Therefore, since there is no creator other than Him, since there is no Hay (the living, eternal and everlasting) other than Him, and since the created beings have no right over the beings He has created, the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth will surely belong to Allah (swt).
In this case, Allah (swt) has created what He willed, adorned the universe with what He willed, and made the remembrance of His Zat known to all living and non-living things He created. He has programmed the course of the universe in a certain order and regularity and established His sovereignty over His creations. Such a sultanate! The creatures cannot even imagine this sovereignty. They cannot even grasp the secret of why the Creator created what He created and why. Every particle of the universe proves that it was created with the knowledge of Allah (swt). (He informs us with His Verses that whatever has been created, from mote to sphere, is in need of Allah and that He does not need His creations. The Holy Qur'an says: "There is no friend or helper for you except Allah.
Therefore, the relatives of a person, i.e. mother, father, children, wives, uncles, aunts, aunts, uncles, whatever relatives they have, are all individually responsible to Allah (swt) and He informs us that on the Day of Judgment, at a time when no one will be of any benefit to anyone else and every soul will say "nafsi nafsi", we have no helpers and friends other than Allah (swt). Accordingly, Allah (swt) tells us with this verse: O people! What is it that drives you away from Me, even though I have proved to you that you have no friend and helper except Me? Fema yükezzibuke ba'du biddin. Eleysallahu bi ahkamil hakimin (What then leads you to deny the Day of Reckoning? Turn to your Lord and He will be your friend and guardian on that difficult day, and He will save you under His mercy because of your deeds, your good deeds, your good deeds and your good deeds, and your obedience to the command of Allah (swt).
As long as you live in this world, you have no friend or guardian except Allah. All creation is dependent on Allah. Allah has determined the sustenance and lifespan of every creature. Therefore, if we remember Allah in all our deeds and actions and ask for His help and mercy, He will fulfill our wishes and bring about what we desire. In one of His verses, Allah (swt) says: "It is not in my honor that I should turn away those who ask me". So the true friend and guardian is Allah, there is no other friend or guardian except Him.

Verse 107. Yes, do you not know that the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah? How beautiful; of course, surely the dominion of the heavens and the earth is Allah's. There is no other god who could be a partner in what Allah has created, or say this is mine. And besides Allah you have neither a friend nor a helper, it says. Of course. Let us both read the verse and explain it. Do you not know that the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah? With the words "do you not know", since someone created the intellect He gave people, their very being, every person of reason perceives that he was created by someone.
How beautiful. Every person of reason, long before, in the address "Alastu bi-Rabbikum", a God created me. You know it. So: do you not know? In the verse: do you not know? That is, my Lord who created the heavens and the earth, who created me, is also the owner of the heavens and the earth. There is no god other than Him.
Since someone created his being, every person of reason, perceiving that he was created by someone, knows that this Creator is Allah. Yes.
For this reason, using the words "do you not know", with the testimony of the intellect within us, taking us as witnesses over ourselves, He declares: the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. He takes us as witnesses over ourselves. By saying "do you not know". Where does He take us as witnesses over ourselves? In the address "Alastu bi-Rabbikum". That there is no god but Allah. I created you.
It is not as they tell it there either. Well,
What does it say? Instead of "I created you", here it uses a phrase.
What does it say?
Yes.
Am I not your Lord? Now (?) in this way it contradicts man's (?). Now: am I not your Lord? On what basis does He say this? According to reason, of course. Am I not? That person will know his own creation there, that in that realm of lahut the souls were created particle by particle, and he will deny the One before him, and then He will say: am I not your Lord? Whereas there is a sudden coming into being. Well, within this coming into being there is an address called (?). So here, of the people being created, of those souls, in a sudden coming into being, the One before them, being granted our Lord's address "I created you", and people seeing, all of a sudden, that they have no past, and truly perceiving that they have been created, falling into doubts, people being seized by suppositions.
And the intellect He gave him knowing that he was created by a Lord. That is what "do you not know" is. The words come to that point. Do you not know? The dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. Well, with an intellect I gave you, you also know that you have no god other than Allah. That is, you know that a Lord created me. And that Lord, that Allah, is the owner of the universe.
According to the verse "Every soul shall taste death", all created living beings will one day come to an end through death. With the verse in which He says the inheritance of the heavens and the earth is Allah's, all created beings will die. Since all beings were created by Allah Almighty, all beings will again remain to Allah. What was it? Allah Almighty, so that His being is known in this universe, the beings He created will surely end one day, they will die, and finally, according to the verse in which He says "your return is to Me", the living beings He created, the animals and the people, at the great court will be called to account. To account.
So in this case Allah Almighty, that He is the absolute owner and ruler of all the perfection He created, has proven to us with many of His verses.
In this case Allah Almighty created what He would create in proportion to His will. What does this mean? He created what He would create in proportion to His will: the seventeen thousand worlds in a way that they (?) each other, these worlds, the world and this whole universe, the seventeen thousand worlds, He created to complement one another. Whatever He willed, with His will He adorned the universe without any lack. He adorned the universe. To all the living and non-living things He created He made known the remembrance of His being. Yes. How beautiful. Is there a god other than Allah who would make what he created remember him? No.
Since there is none, la ilahe illallah. There is no god but Allah.
Now here a word sticks in my mind again. Because slanders are not easily wiped away from humanity. Not easily. This fake thing, (?), you know, (?), in those words that the muhtar wrote, I wonder, is he able to interpret this verse the way I interpret it? Does he have that mind?
Impossible. Because they have no knowledge. There is no such knowledge. And in this case, I wonder, our children who listen to us, in the verses, do they see any lack, any lack in our interpretation? They do not see one either. They cannot see one either. They are learning. They are learning too. I am sure of this. But the human nafs, the human nafs draws a veil over a person's eyes, and with the passion to be the head he wraps his own rope around his own neck and with his own hand has his own execution carried out. That is why it is a very bad thing for people, without knowing people, to slander people like this.
A very bad thing.
Such a dominion, we come to. Within a certain order, in order, He has programmed the course of the universe and established His dominion over what He created. How beautiful. These are all words based on verses. On verses. What do we say? Within a certain order, in order, He has programmed the course of the universe; (?) what does Allah Almighty say? We created what We created (?), He says. All these created things, the heavens and the earth, what is between the two, all the galaxies, up to a certain order, revolve within themselves and around, and move on.
He has programmed the course of the universe and established His dominion over what He created. Over what He created. Where is this "over what He created"? Allah Almighty is free of time and space. When it says over the creatures, beyond the people or creatures who remain within time and space surrounded by the Throne of Allah, (?) in a place free of time and space. Yes, He has established His dominion. Such a dominion that the created, unable even to conceive or imagine it, cannot even grasp the secret of why the Creator created what He created. Why did He create this? What was the purpose of His creating in it?
What was its secret? We cannot even grasp this. Why did He create? Yes.
Every particle of the universe proves that it was created by Allah with His knowledge. Every particle of the universe. By Allah, by Allah, what do we say? Well, every particle of the universe proves that it was created by Allah with His knowledge. That whatever is created, from the atom to the globe, is in need of Allah, while He has no need of His creation, His verses tell us. So, according to the verse that the heavens and the earth and what is between the two know the remembrance of their Lord, Allah Almighty created all His creation with His knowledge and proved that all that is created is in need of Allah.
In His verses He declares: besides Allah you have neither a friend nor a helper to be found. That from the atom to the globe, in all our life, we are in need of Allah, while He has no need of His creation, He tells us with His verses. In His verses He declares: besides Allah you have neither a friend nor a helper to be found. Besides Allah we have neither a friend nor a helper. Why? Because all that is created is in need of Allah. If you depend on one who depends on Allah, you become a blind follower. You are left stranded. Since mankind has not reached perfection, and even if it did, it carries you on its back only up to a certain point.
Since it is itself carried, can what is carried ever be a carrier? So we, the heavens and the earth, and what is between the two, since all are carried, who are the carried in need of? In need of Allah Almighty. And our Lord is the One who carries, that is, who gives life to His creation. In this case, if the carried depends on the carried, it becomes a blind follower. So we will depend on the owner of this universe, so that we turn to Him, and He, since all these beings are under His rule as they should be, lets them give us our due worth and, according to our intention, lets us attain the mercy of His being.
Yes.
So, a person's relatives and kin, that is, mother, father, child and wife, maternal uncle, maternal aunt, paternal aunt, paternal uncle, however many relatives he has, everyone is individually responsible to Allah Almighty, and on the Day of Judgement, when no one will be of any use to anyone, and at a time when every soul says "myself, myself", He tells us that besides Allah we have no helper and no friend. The meaning of our (?) here, in this way: trusting our mother, our father, our aunt, our uncle, and leaning our back on them, do not, it says, turn to Allah. Do not turn your back on Allah. That is, not "do not turn to Allah", but do not turn your back on Allah.
Now what does it say? After you come to the House of Allah, circle the House of Allah, and at the Station of Abraham pray two rak'ahs, then, as in the old Age of Ignorance, it says, do not boast saying your forefathers and your fathers. What does this mean? My father was a saint. My grandfather was, I don't know, a great friend of Allah. The other one was a scholar, and so on. You have understood that they will not benefit you. You have turned back and come to Me. So from now on, do not boast of them as in that Age of Ignorance, it says. Do not lean your back on them. Lean your back on Me, says Allah Almighty.
What does it say?
Yes. We will lean our back on Allah. Besides Allah we have neither a friend nor a helper.
Yes. Yes.
As long as you live in the life of this world, besides Allah you have neither a friend nor a guardian.
What did we say? Besides Allah Almighty, who created this universe, we have neither a friend nor a creator. There is someone to trust in Him. If we bind all our heart, our heart, to our Lord, and are content with what comes from Allah, are thankful for the blessings Allah has given, and put our trust in Allah, Allah Almighty will also protect us as He should and let us attain His mercy. Yes.
What did we say before?
Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakil, ni'mal mawla wa ni'man nasir. A person, in this case, must live fakr. Fakr, well, not in the sense of poverty, do not misunderstand. A poor man is one who has no property.
Fakr, however, is: even if this whole universe were yours, knowing that the property and possessions of this universe all belong to Allah, people who wholeheartedly surrender all existence to Allah. Not what is said about the Prophet (peace be upon him). El pakri pakri, el pakri pakri, (?), that pakri of the worlds. Pakri necikler, pakri necikler (?), I found it in pakri fena, my heart. Yes. That pakri of the worlds, pakri necikler (?), he says. That is, the owner of all these worlds, of the created from the atom to the globe, is Allah. These are, well, a trust from our Lord to us. The blessings He gave are a trust.
The person who uses this trust as he should and surrenders it to his Lord is in a state of (?).
So, as long as you live in the life of this world, besides Allah you have neither a friend nor a guardian. All that is created is in need of Allah. All that is created.
Allah has determined the provision and the lifetime of every created being. For this reason, if in every deed and act we do we remember Allah and ask Him for help and mercy, He, answering our request, (?) our wishes. What was it? Within our destiny (?), (?) our wishes. In a verse Allah Almighty declares: it is not befitting My glory that I should turn away the one who asks of Me. This too is within His will. But this is a deeper meaning: it is not befitting the glory of Allah Almighty. He gives. But if it is outside your wish, He will give it to you in the hereafter. Be patient; in the hereafter many (?) will appear before you.
My Allah, I did not do these. When you say what are these: in the world you had asked for such-and-such, you know; that was outside your destiny; had I given it to you, it would have harmed you. Or, since it was outside your destiny, evils would have befallen you. In this case, because you were patient with this, take today this patience of yours as a reward, He says. How beautiful. In the hereafter. So it is not befitting our Lord's glory that a person will ask and our Lord will not give to him. Yes.
In a verse Allah Almighty declares: it is not befitting My glory that I should turn away the one who asks of Me. So the true friend and guardian is Allah. Besides Him there is neither a friend nor a guardian.
Let us take refuge in Allah. We will take refuge in Allah. Our helper is Allah. And our return; we will take refuge in Allah. This is a temporary world. A traveller, in a certain period of travel, the journey he makes, within his lifetime; the traveller, even though he lives where seems to be his homeland, is in the world a traveller. Finally, when he completes the course of his life, with the deeds he has done, with his good deeds and sins, he will return to the presence of Allah Almighty.
All living things, all beings will return to Allah. Yes.
