Al-Hajj 62: Such it is. Verily, Allah is the sole Truth. And the ones that they call onto (and worship) other than Allah are just falsehood. And verily, Allah, yes Allah is Aliyy (Exalted) and Kabeer (the Greatest).

To Surah Al-Hajj, verse 62, we've come.

Yes. That is so, He says this time. That is so. Because Allah is the Truth itself. Yes. And what they worship besides Him is falsehood itself. The truth is that Allah, yes, He says. How beautifully He emphasizes it now. He is the Most High, the Great. Yes.

Ve enne'llâhe hüve'l-aliyyü'l-kebîr. The truth is that Allah, yes, He is the Most High, the Great. Bülent, if we changed the formats of these verses so they became readable here, wouldn't that work? Together with our flash players, let's change their formats again, remove these, install those. Should it be clearer, Hodja? I mean, so it reads more clearly. These can't be read here.

Yes. Certainly, what Allah says is true and is so. I mean, whatever He said, what He says is the truth; that's what it says: because Allah is the Truth itself. This verse's counterpart, too, is: Allah wants no injustice for the worlds; with justice He judges. Yes. Another verse says: what you earn is the return of your own two hands, and, nicely: no one will be wronged today; what each one has earned will be given to him in full as the return of his own two hands, it says. That's the Truth itself; in this case He is the judge of judges.

Certainly, what Allah says is true and is so. Because Allah is the Truth itself. He brings into being from nothing. He knows and sees best what He created. Since there is no other god besides Him, Allah is the Truth itself. Because Allah calls people to guidance and light. Allah calls people to salvation. Allah loves people very much and waits for them to find guidance. Therefore Allah waits for people to repent to Allah. Allah shows people what is right. And Allah's words are the truth. That is why Allah is All-Knowing. He is the Knower. Therefore Allah is the Truth itself. Yes.

What people worship besides Allah is falsehood itself. Why falsehood? Batil means a baseless fabrication; superstitions with nothing real behind the words — that's what it means.

For example, a man makes an idol and worships it; this has no reality. A man carving with his own hand an object created by Allah, giving it the shape he conceived in his mind, and worshipping it is an irrational thing.

What people worship besides Allah is falsehood itself. Because these too are Allah's creations. I mean, the objects they worship are also Allah's creations.

A mosquito, He says. If it snatches a piece from what they worship, it cannot be aware of it, He says. I mean, it can't drive it away from itself, He says.

At the same time from it, from the mosquito too, He says. It can't drive it away from itself. It can't stop the mosquito from what it takes from it, He says. It can't stop it. What a beautiful example He gives here. So with justice, for what each one has done, Allah makes known so beautifully that people won't go unpunished. What people worship besides Allah is falsehood itself. Because these too are Allah's creations. Without Allah's permission, no being, no one can help anyone or lead him to salvation. Therefore those who, besides Allah, worship Allah's creations, who ask from what is of no use even to them, are dragged after falsehood, fallen into Satan's trap, seized by pride and arrogance — people who have denied Allah.

The truth is, as every mind accepts, only Allah is the Most High and Allah is great. Because the way of reason is one. Besides Allah, there is no being to be held equal or partner to Him. He is the one who created the worlds from nothing, and humans and jinn and angels so that they worship Him He created. The one besides whom there is no god and none great, the only knowing one, possessor of knowledge, is the One, Allah.
