Al-Hashr 23: Allah is The God! The One! there is no god but Allah. Allah is; Al-Malik (Owner of all bounties), Al-Quddoos (Free from any incompleteness), As-Salam (The One Who gives serenity), Al-Mu’min (The One Who gives security), Al-Muhaymin (The One Who protects), Al-Azeez (Exalted, The Most High), Al-Jabbar (The One Who creates what Allah desires even if it is difficult), Al-Mutakabbir (The Supreme). Allah is far from what they associate with Allah.

If you follow them, you too will meet the same fate. Verse 23 has been rendered wrongly. He is such Allah that there is no god other than Him. Of course, what does Allah Almighty say here now? Sir, Huvallâhullezî lâ ilâhe illâ hu, huvallâhu: Allah, who subsists by His Essence, that Allah. There is no god other than Him. Lâ ilâhe illâ hu: there is no god other than the One who subsists by His Essence. He is the Owner of dominion. When it says dominion, don't think only of the world. The whole Throne of Allah, all these worlds encompassed by the Throne, are Allah's dominion. Because every soul will taste death.

According to the verse that says the inheritance of the heavens and the earth will remain to Allah. The heavens and the earth, all these worlds encompassed by the Throne, are Allah's dominion, and this dominion belongs to Allah alone. He is the Owner of dominion, He is free of all deficiency, you cannot find any flaw in Him, you cannot find any deficiency. Allah Almighty says in (?), We create what We create firmly, He says. Yes, He is the Giver of peace, and Allah Almighty, by His Essence the Giver of peace, who wrongs no one, no soul, who lights the way before them and brings them to safety, who brings them to security. He opens their way out of the disasters that will befall all people, and provides them a door of peace and a door of security.

Don't you see it today? Sir, earthquakes happen, buildings collapse, but new ones are built in their place. Nicely, Allah Almighty opens their way. Every descent has an ascent, every ascent has a descent. In this situation Allah Almighty is testing us. We test you sometimes, in your lives sometimes, He says, and in your wealth too, He says. He is the Watcher and Protector. Indeed, of course Allah Almighty watches over and protects. With what does He watch over and protect? Look, I'm 84 years old. Not once to me in these 84 years, sir, even by coincidence, will I meet with an accident. If it is not within my destiny, I will not meet with these accidents.

Allah Almighty says in His verse: You are protected by many beings not yet known, He says. How beautiful. He explains the verses one by one here. And here He gathers them all together. Sir, He is the Watcher and Protector, He is the Exalted. Of course, there is no being to be compared with Allah Almighty in His Essence. He is above everything. 'Who compels by force what He wants': He compels. He is the Owner of judgement. Sir, He who has no equal in greatness. Allah is far above what the polytheists associate with Him. Now here, there is a shortcoming right here. We will now, uh, fix that part.

He is the Watcher and Protector. He is the Exalted, who creates what He wills, however hard it is. Who creates what He wills, however hard it is. But what did they say here? Who compels by force what He wants.

Allah Almighty has forced no one against their own will and desire. If they put this part like this, saying 'the Exalted, who compels by force what He wants', that means a person was perhaps going to become a Muslim, but, sir, He forcibly told him: be a disbeliever. He made him do it by force, that is, He made him a disbeliever by force. That's why, sir, He will put the Muslim He wills into Paradise, and whom He wills into Hell He will put. These mentalities, always with the same feelings, have rendered the verses by ascribing them to Allah Almighty as attributes. They have muddled such fine points, sir.

Of course we say: the Giver of peace, who brings to security, the Watcher and Protector, the Exalted, who creates what He wills, however hard it is, He who has no equal in greatness. Allah is far above what the polytheists associate with Him. And that is the correct one. How beautiful. Yes.
