An-Nahl 71: Some of you have more provisions than some others (determined by the covenant they made with Allah). Those with abundant provisions do not make themselves equal to the ones under their hands by giving them their provisions. Are they denying Allah’s blessings?

Yes, verse 71 has been translated wrongly; what does it say? “Allah has given some of you more abundant provision than others,” it says. “Some of you more abundant provision than others.” “Those given abundant provision do not hand their provision over to those under their hand so as to make themselves equal to them in this. That being so, do they deny Allah's blessing?”

Now look here: Allah gave some of you more abundant provision than others. If He gave me abundant provision, what will you say? If You had given me abundant provision too – I was envying him. I would have been like him too. Why did You narrow my provision?

Now, to be able to open up these verses, that is, to open up the meaning of these verses, you need to know the covenant there. If you can't know its covenant, if you don't see that realm and its life, you cannot open these. Allah Almighty makes a covenant with every human being one by one. People are hesitant to come into the world. Because they don't know what this place is. As if in a desolate forest, among wild animals, not knowing what to do – a situation like that. A fear. And you don't know a single person. You've no money in your pocket either. They've taken you and put you in the heart of London, in England.

No people, no money, nothing – what will you do? That is how foreign the world is to a person. Now, in this case, if a person doesn't know these realms, in this case he will translate the verses wrongly like this. So Allah Almighty shows you the situations. When will you go? Those who are in such fear: let me just go and come back, they say. They want nothing. You know, let me go like that, come back like that. Out of fear. And who is it that says it? He envies, of course. Not everyone is a robot. Everyone has desires and wishes. He also sees the beauty of the world. Let me work there, he says, let me be the boss and look after them, he says.

Do you understand? Allah Almighty knows everyone's desires and wishes. According to their desires He writes their destinies. No one will be able to say to Allah Almighty: had You made me rich like him, or had You made me poor, so that I had not been deceived by this wealth and, sir, relied on property – they won't be able to say it. He has written each one's wish for him as a script and worked those characters into him. So because he doesn't know this, what does he say here? Now: “Allah has given some of you more abundant provision than others,” it says. Whereas what do we say? “According to the covenants they gave, some of us are more abundantly provided than others.” Look: some of us than others.

Now we are the ones who want it. Allah Almighty gives us our wish. He in no way puts pressure on us, nor frightens us, nor says, sir, you do it this way – that is, uses force. He writes our own desire and wish for us as our intent. He writes it as destiny. Again, in this case, according to the covenants they gave, some of us are more abundantly provided than others. “Those given abundant provision, handing their provision from their hands to those under their hand, do not in this matter, sir, make themselves equal to them.” That is, here they have slaves. You know, there is no era of slavery any more.

Would he give to him and make himself (?)? Sir, “that being so, do they deny Allah's blessing?” So what does Allah Almighty mean here now?

Come on, find the intent here. Look, what does it say now? “Those given abundant provision do not hand their provision over to those under their hand so as to make themselves equal to them in this. That being so, do they deny Allah's blessing?” it says. Who will answer that?

It is I who gives provision, He says. It is I who created the worlds too. Would I, He says, teach you to create or give you abundant provision and make Myself equal to you? He says. In this case, to the provisions I give, He says, while you are in need of Me, He says, why don't you give thanks? He says. Yes, how beautiful, it is clear. Let me read it once more, look. Is it so or not? When opened up, it is so. What does it say? “They give abundant provision. Handing their provision to those under their hand, in this matter they do not make themselves equal to them,” it says.

“That being so, do they deny Allah's blessing?” When I have given you provision, He says. Do you understand? Yes.

Will you be equal to Me, He says, then? For what I gave, He says, giving thanks too, He says. Will you be together with Me? He says. That is, the provision, He says – did you create it and distribute it? He says. Yes.
