Again our guest, our child, asks. If he is older than me, he is my brother. If he is younger than me, of my child's age, saying "my child" is also a sign of sincerity. Sir, since he does not set him apart from his own children, he can use the address "my child". Since we are old, there is no harm in our addressing young people this way. Of course, we do not know his situation. Hodja, I kiss your hands, may those who kiss your hand be many. Hodja, is this a hadith qudsi? "If it were not for you, I would not have created these worlds." May Allah be pleased with you. This is a hadith that is explained wrongly.
The hadith, too, has been explained wrongly.
Where is the mistake? In a very simple place. "If it were not for you" — that is, it comes out as if the Prophet (peace be upon him) was created by someone else, or existed by himself, and so from him He created these worlds. "If it were not for you." Whereas it is like this: "Had I not created you, I would not have created these worlds." Look, "had I not created you". Because from His first light He created the light of the Prophet. Then He gave him of His spirit. He gave of His spirit. Then from his spirit He created the spirits of the prophets. From his light He created these worlds. From the spirits of the prophets He created the spirits of their peoples.
In this way it became: Ve ma erselnake illa rahmeten lil alemin. That is, whatever was created, from the atom to the globe, was created from the light and spirit of the Prophet. And since the one who created him is our Lord Himself, the absolute Owner of the worlds, Allah, besides whom there is no god, proves His Being in this way. How beautiful. Very beautiful. Yes. Guest, now you have learned the correct form of the hadith. Not "if it were not for you". It must be "had I not created you". That "had I not created" is exactly what gets changed by word games. Hadiths stop being hadiths. Yes.
