Tafsir
(Fear and beware of a Day when you will all be brought back to Allah). The realm of property does not last for human beings. Every human soul will taste death. Allah, the Creator of these worlds, reminds the people living in the realm of property of the worlds beyond death, that Allah, who created you out of nothing, will resurrect you on the Day of Reckoning after He has killed you. This is a fact. If you believe in this truth, fear Allah. Because all of you will be held to account before Allah in the Hereafter, in the Court-i Kübra.
(Then everyone will be fully rewarded for what he has earned in this world.) Every human being receives rewards and sins in this world because of the beings created by Allah (swt) and their actions towards them. So whoever judges by the Verses of Allah and acts towards Allah's creatures in the way that Allah (swt) has commanded, that person will receive rewards. And whoever acts otherwise, turns his back on Allah, desires Allah's creatures more than Allah, takes Allah's Verses lightly and disregards them, will also receive sin. According to their deeds, Allah (swt) will repay them in full for what they earned there. For every human being will be held to account for what he has earned. Allah (swt) says in His verse: "What you earn is the reward of your two hands".
(They will never be wronged.) If a person is wronged, he has wronged his own soul. Because in return for what they have earned, Allah, as the Judge of Judges in the Court of Judgment, will give His judgment on that day according to His verse that says that only Allah is the judge, and everyone will be sent to the places they deserve.
What is said in the video
Allah Almighty, in His verse, the 281st verse: all the verses of Allah Almighty are such that they sink into a person's heart. but there are some verses that, for example, make it stronger. That one is stronger.
For example, He says: pay attention. Again He says: pay attention. For example, like this. All of it is the word of Allah, but in one place He warns more. This verse is such a verse. See what it says? Fear and guard yourselves against a day, fear and guard yourselves against a day when... it tells and tells, and now it comes to the end. On that day you will all be returned and taken to Allah. Go ahead. On that day, everyone will be returned and taken to Allah. Fear that day. In the world I told you: don't do this, don't do that. But now your matter is finished, He says. The decree of the Truth has come to pass. Fear such a day that, while still living, fear such a day and guard against it.
On that day you will all be returned and taken to Allah. Then everyone will be given in full the recompense of the deeds they earned in the world. And they will never be wronged, it says. No wrong at all. What does that mean? But I'm going to Hell. You will be given in full the recompense of what you earned. Allah did not wrong you; you wronged yourself in all of it. It was given in full, because it is what you did. If you did good, in full to Paradise. If you did evil, it was given in full too: to Hell. Allah gave this according to the deeds you actually did. Now, a person commits a crime.
Two people appear before the judge.
In this court the judge gathers the evidence, gathers the witnesses. He sees that Ahmet Efendi is innocent and Mehmet Efendi is guilty. Guilty. He acquits Ahmet Efendi and gives Mehmet Efendi a prison sentence. Gentlemen, was it the judge who gave this? I'm asking you: did the judge incriminate this man? The man incriminated himself by committing the crime. Likewise, Allah wrongs no one. Everyone wrongs his own self.
Fear and guard yourselves against a day on which you will all be returned and taken to Allah. According to this verse, the world of possessions is not lasting for people. In this world we are all in a guesthouse. A passing world, an inn with two doors.
Every person, every soul shall taste death.
Allah, who created these worlds, reminding the people living in the world of possessions of the worlds beyond death: Allah, who brought you into being from nothing, after making you die, will on that day of reckoning raise you again. So fear such a day, He says. He reminds us of that place. Fear such a day. Because all of us, all of you, in the hereafter, in the Supreme Court, will be called to account before Allah. All of us, all of us, humans and jinn, all of us, having partial free will in our hands, for the deeds we did, for the rewards and sins we earned, all people will be called to account.
Then everyone will be given in full the recompense of the deeds they earned in the world. Without anyone being treated unjustly. Why? Allah Almighty: Eleysallâhu bi-ahkemi'l-hâkimîn. The Judge of judges. Why is no injustice done? O human, I have held you as one addressed by My Essence. I gave you of My spirit and left you free in your partial will. Had I willed, I would have created you as a single community, He says. But because of the value I gave you, because of My spirit I gave you, I left you free with your will. And for what you earned through the deeds you did, you will be called to account as the due of your two hands, He says.
The due of your two hands. So Allah Almighty, without doing injustice to anyone. Fe men ya'mel miskâle zerretin hayran yerah: an atom's weight of good I will have recorded. Ve men ya'mel miskâle zerretin şerran yerah: an atom's weight of evil will be recorded too, according to the wording of the verse in which He says this. Those atom's weights of good and evil will be gathered, and you will be called to account before Allah. Without anyone being wronged for the sins and rewards they earned, everyone's deeds will be repaid to them in full. Yes.
What does Allah Almighty say now? The world of possessions is not lasting for people. Every human soul shall taste death. Allah, who created these worlds, reminding the people living in the world of possessions of the worlds beyond death: Allah, who brought you into being from nothing, after making you die, will on that day of reckoning raise you again. This is a truth.
Is there proof, Hodja? Who has gone and come back? if you say, to that tiny mind of yours I say: have you seen the lunar system in the sky? The sun, moon and earth system, the calendar, was placed in the sky by Allah Almighty. He created everything with knowledge. Did it come about by itself? In this nature you see, eighteen thousand worlds created to cleanse one another, where the lack of one upsets the balance, with events that upset the balance in this world, this so-called nature: within nature, within this universe, is there reason and life, so that these completed one another by themselves?
Don't go far. I tell you: turn to yourself. To yourself. Your eye is a camera; it takes and gives instantly. Today's cameras give it to you only within maybe a few seconds.
The pressure your heart pumps is one atmosphere. The air layer, the air layer of 82-83 kilometres, is one atmosphere at sea level. Since the inner and outer pressure are equal, you live in balance under this one atmosphere of pressure.
Your ears, like a radio set, do not hear every frequency. If, it says, the human ear could hear the cries let out by those bats living in Spain, heart patients would die of heart failure and pregnant women would miscarry, it says.
In this case, your whole body, your lungs are a laboratory machine. Only if a laboratory as big as the world were set up would it do the work your lungs do.
O human, did this order, this existence, come about by itself? Then use your reason. Your reason proves that you have a Lord. But out of your nafs's rebellion you turn your back on your Lord. Today even idolaters know there is a Lord who created them. That is why he makes idols, (?) the spirit of the Lord he created by his own reasoning, and worships it. Be wise. Wise, use your reason. I keep reminding you of Allah Almighty's verse. Do you never use your reason? Do you never reflect? Do you never think? He says. Yes. What was it? Every human soul shall taste death. Allah, who created these worlds, reminding the people living in the world of possessions of the worlds beyond death: Allah, who brought you into being from nothing, after making you die, will on that day of reckoning raise you again. This is a truth.
Now you have understood the truth. Now you have understood the truth. Well then, Hodja, how will we be raised there? Here, in all that He created, living or nonliving, Allah Almighty has placed seeds. Living beings with the sperm in their semen, and in nature those living things, plants, with their seeds, produce their generations. In man too, in a place said to be at the tailbone, there is a cell that does not die. How do you know? I know from this. I know from this verse. O world, what it will eat up of the human body and what it cannot eat up, it knows well, He says. The world, the earth: what it cannot eat up of the human body, and what it will eat up. So even if it consumes his bones, his hair, whatever else, it cannot consume that cell, according to this verse.
Then those seeds will be watered from that water, the sea of secrets in the sixth layer. That is why it says sea of secrets. Those people, down to their fingertips, in the same state, will be raised. What does down to their fingertips mean? Of all the people coming from our father Adam, none of their fingerprints, none matches anyone's fingerprint. So He will raise you complete, down to your fingertip. A person's soul and body are like a receiving and transmitting frequency. In the hereafter they will suddenly unite. When you come before Me with a driver, He says, when you come before Me with a driver: the driver, with what body? In fact He is addressing the soul.
We seal your mouths there, He says, we bind your feet, and make your hands speak, to the body. Then the soul's address to the body: why are you speaking against me? Allah, who makes me speak, makes me speak, it says. Then after the body's testimony is over, and I am telling you verses, gentlemen, these are verses, 'you are returned to the One who first created you': and there the body tastes death a second time. Soul, nafs and life remain together. So this is a truth. These are truths. I deny it. Everyone is free in his own will. The other one believes. Now, of course some will deny and some will believe.
Then why are you telling this? Our Lord says: you enjoin what is right. You tell it. Just as the prophets also told the truth. Let there be among you people who will tell of truth and justice on earth, says Allah Almighty. No. Why? So that tomorrow, when you see that pain, when you see that agony, 'My Allah, You sent us no one charged with duty, You sent us no people to tell us of Your Essence': so that you won't say that; from Allah's attribute of divinity, so we tell it; the responsibility is yours, not ours. Whether you listen or not, do it or not, everyone's destiny is his own; within his will everyone will act and prove what kind of person he is, within his own nature. No one can change anyone's destiny.
Yes.
If you believe in this truth, if you believe in what I have told you, fear Allah. Because all of you, in the hereafter, in the Supreme Court, will be called to account before Allah.
Then, everyone will be given in full the recompense of the deeds they earned in the world. These are verses; we are explaining them. Every person in this world, with the beings Allah Almighty created, through deeds toward them, earns rewards and sins. So whoever governs himself by Allah's verses and, toward Allah's creatures, acts as Allah Almighty commanded, this person earns reward. Because he fulfilled his Lord's command, O human, O My servant, says Allah Almighty, My servant, though you did not see Me, you obeyed My command. And I, in the hereafter, on a day when that person, when no one has any kind of support for anyone, I am your protector too on that day, He says.
Just because you fulfilled His command. So when Allah Almighty says everyone in the world will be given in full the recompense of the deeds they earned, every person in this world, with the beings Allah Almighty created, through deeds toward them, earns reward and sin. So whoever governs himself by Allah's verses and, toward Allah's creatures, acts as Allah Almighty commanded, these people earn reward. And whoever acts outside of these, turns his back on Allah, more than Allah feels (?) toward Allah's creatures, takes Allah's verses lightly and turns a deaf ear to them, he earns sin. Yes.
So according to their deeds, Allah Almighty will there pay them in full the recompense of what they earned. In full. Because every person will be called to account for what he earned. Allah Almighty: Eleysallâhu bi-ahkemi'l-hâkimîn. Yes. In His verse, Allah Almighty: what you have earned is the due of your two hands, He declares.
To them no wrong is ever done. If a person is wronged, he himself has wronged his own self. Because, in return for what he earned, Allah Almighty, in the Supreme Court, with the attribute of judges and of the judge. On that day judgment belongs to Allah alone: according to the verse where He says this, He will pass judgment, and everyone, to the places he deserves, will be sent.
