Al-Baqarah 213: Mankind was only one nation. Then Allah has sent Prophets as givers of glad tidings and as admonishers. Allah also sent Books with them that show the true path so that they would judge between the people when they had issues of conflict. But those who were given a Book went into conflict in religion because of their greed. Upon this, with the permission of Allah, the believers saw the truth about the things that they had quarreled about. Allah shows the right path to whoever desires it.

Verse 213 too is a wrongly translated verse. "Mankind was a single community" — correct. "Mankind was a single community." This goes very deep. This is deep. A single community: whom did Allah Almighty create first? He created the Prophet, from His light. Then He gave him of His spirit. So from him He created the prophets. And from the souls of the prophets He created the souls of the peoples. If we go backwards — to all the prophets, and if we go back from there, to the soul of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and from there if we go back further, it goes all the way until each of us, as a part from Allah Almighty, was created.

Since the soul is only in man — the soul. Not in every cat and dog here and there. Since it is only in man, since he was created honoured above the worlds, all people not resembling one another — however much twins resemble each other, in them too a difference arises — since Allah Almighty changes every attribute, every form, each of us is unique from our Lord. Good. That is why people are everlasting in Paradise and Hell. But here some — brainless and witless, I'll call them — Let us call people La mawjuda illallah too, and them sir, they constantly hold equal with Allah Almighty. God forbid. One is the Creator. One comes from the Creator's attributes.

And one is the created. Now the created — you cannot compare it with the — with Allah Almighty, within His rule. Because the Creator has kept certain formulas of His own kept for Himself. For example, Allah Almighty has not told people the secrets of creation. Many things. For example, He made human memory limited. Man can use twelve percent of his memory, of his mind. In that case, the people who call humans, together with Allah, what they called subsisting, sir, what did they call it, that to people, to those who subsist with Allah, sir, they used to say something. I can't recall it now. Let's not do a Ramadan tekelleme in Ramadan.

In that case, can the created ever be held equal to the Creator? So what does it say here? "Mankind was a single community." Even though it goes all the way to being a part from Allah Almighty — being created as a part from Him. Now, everything has something like it in this world; it does. This world is a likeness and a shadow of the hereafter. Is there a likeness of this too in this world? Well, since we were created as a part. Of course there is. At one time, a person has 80, 80 million human cells. 70–80 million cells. One of these cells, in the mother's womb, like a camera opening and closing for an instant, is caught, and that cell comes into being there.

Now, did this person create that cell? Reproducing from itself. Existing by itself. Allah Almighty — sir, this is a thing that reproduces in the human body. Did the person produce it himself? Now, when Allah Almighty too separates such a part from His essence, sir, will this be equal to Allah? But in man — because a human factory was set up on earth, so that those people prove to themselves what kind of person they are, Allah Almighty set up this factory, the human factory. Otherwise, in His essence Allah Almighty is one, and when it says all are a single community, it goes all the way back there.

But in outward knowledge too, in outward knowledge too, our father Adam, as the first human, comes into the world, and since reproduction is from him, they were a single community. It goes back to our father Adam.

"Then Allah sent the prophets as bearers of good news and as warners. He sent the prophets. And to judge in the matters in which people had disagreed, He sent with them books showing the right path as well. But those who were given the Book, after clear proofs had come to them, because of the ambition among them, fell into disagreement in religion. Thereupon Allah showed those who believed the truth over which they had disputed, by Allah's leave. Allah guides whom He wills to the right path," it says. Here too, because "whom He wills" appears, we counted it as wrong. Up to this point it's all correct, correct, correct; at the very end it spoils the verse.

"Whom He wills," it says. What does it say? "Allah showed those who believed the truth over which they had disputed, by Allah's leave." Of course, with what? With His prophets, His books, He showed everything. "Then Allah guided whom He willed to the right path." Whereas here, even though He showed the truth, those who still go to denial, who stray, who turn their backs on Allah — what do they do? By their own wish, their own desires, their own willing, they go into disbelief. Where is Allah's willing here?

"Mankind was a single community." Now he's reading the correct one. "Then Allah sent the prophets as bearers of good news and as warners." It's all correct here anyway, up to the end. "And to judge in the matter in which people had disagreed, He sent with them books showing the right path as well." How beautiful. He sends prophets equally to all people. He sends books showing the right path, now. This is Allah. Up to here it's all correct. Can't you grasp this at all, that you then split off here at the end? "But those who were given the Book, after clear proofs had come, because of the ambition among them, fell into division in religion." What is the ambition among them?

"We are the children of Allah, we are His close ones," sir. Sir, "Ezra Uzayr is the son of Allah. Hz. Jesus is the son of Allah. Uzayr is the son of Allah, they say. And in this way they hold themselves above other people. And so, sir, they fall into dispute. My religion is right, your religion is right. Allah Almighty, to them separately — that is, according to each developing brain structure, each developing technology, when He sends books they can bear, sir, for this reason: "No, we won't accept it. We will judge by the old one," they say, and so they go into disbelief. Because they don't believe in the prophets Allah has sent.

Or they deny them. Or it doesn't suit them. And because they see themselves as superior, they are seized by ambition: "Why didn't this prophet come from among us? If he had come from us, we would have believed" — like that. Yes.

"Thereupon those who believed in Allah saw the truth over which they had disputed, by Allah's leave." By Allah's leave they saw it. "Allah shows the right path to whoever wills it from Allah." To whoever wills. The Qur'an came down. It came down. If you willed it, you'll see the right path from the Qur'an. From His knowledge, from His Prophet you'll see the right path. If you don't will it, you turn your back on them, and because you go against Allah's command, before the Owner of the worlds, the absolute true Judge, the Most Just of Judges, you will give account. Yes.
