Al-Hajj 70: Do you not know that Allah certainly knows what is in the heaven and on the arth? This is in a (preserved) Book (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz). This (possessing knowledge on all things) is very easy for Allah.

We have come to verse 70 of Surah Al-Hajj. Do you not know that Allah knows whatever is on earth and in the heavens? Yes. This is a very meaningful verse. First of all, this much is enough, just this much: when it says, do you not know that Allah knows whatever is on earth and in the heavens, it becomes clear that this is the word of the Creator alone, who has a power no created being could be capable of; that is what emerges. How, you ask?

Whatever has been created on earth, its particles, and within those particles the neutrons and protons, the positive and negative nuclei, make a sound as they spin around their own axes. Even though we do not hear it, it remembers Allah.

The one who knows their existence, who knows the existence of that particle, is none but Allah. He is the Creator. Only Allah knows this. When it says, do you not know that Allah knows whatever is on earth and in the heavens: no created being — outside their own view, living without knowledge of anything, that is what people are. Outside our own view, our own world. One is unaware of everything. But Allah Almighty is aware of this entire universe.

There are many meanings here. This much is enough. There are many meanings. It goes very deep.

But not every mind has the capacity to bear it. In this respect, this belongs only to Allah, who is the Lord. It says: this is in a book, in the Preserved Tablet.

And this book is the Holy Quran.

To have knowledge of these things and events is very easy for Allah. Because He is the Creator. Now, since Allah Almighty is the One who brings into being from nothing, the One who brings into being from nothing produces the objects He brings into being. With what? With their elements. By combining the elements with one another, He creates gold, ore, silver, water, stone, soil and plants.

What does it say here? To have knowledge of these things and events is very easy for Allah. Why? Because Allah Almighty knows the formulas of the knowledge of these things. Their formulas. (?) He derives them from the elements that exist, but how does He create these elements? That too is very simple. Simple for Allah, of course. Just as, let us say, combining hydrogen and oxygen, two hydrogen and one oxygen produce water, so with any formula in His hand, with a formula, when He combines those formulas, He brings something into being from nothing. He brings a being into existence from nothing. By changing formulas on that being, He creates whatever substance He wills.

Now, they will say of me: this man is deviant. (?) — that is what they will say. And they say Allah Almighty said 'Kun', 'Be', and so Allah creates. In this way, they say, this man is going astray. Yet these words I am explaining are far above their knowledge. Nothing comes into being merely by saying 'Be'.

Are you denying the verse, Hodja? No, God forbid. When Allah wills, He creates. That is what His saying 'Be' means. That is, it is our Lord's will. When He wills, He creates. Now let us prove, regarding 'He said Be and it did not happen', that His word is not with letters and sound.

If Allah Almighty said 'Be' and it came to be, the heavens should have come into being without any relation to time.

He said 'Be' and created the earth, without relation to time. He said 'Be' and created what is between them, without relation to time. Did such a thing happen? No. What does Allah Almighty tell us? We created the heavens in two days, the earth in two days, and what is between them in two days. That makes exactly six days, it says. These six days are not earthly days. Since a thousand years here are like one day of the hereafter, He created it in six thousand years. In six thousand years by earthly reckoning. Now I ask those people who say: He said 'Be' — be, create — and it was, the people who say He created it that way:

If it had come to be because He said 'Be', then what is between earth and heaven, what is between them, in two days, the earth in two days, and the heavens in two days — He would not have created them so. He would have said 'Be' all at once. And all of it would have come to be. Yes. Moreover, in the verse it says this world is the likeness and shadow of the hereafter. There is no deficiency in Allah's word. Here too, an engineer makes a project. He makes changes in some parts of the project. After bringing it to a certain point, to a (?), he puts it into practice. Isn't that so? What did he do?

After a project, over a period of time, he put it into practice. If this world is the likeness and shadow of the hereafter, how beautifully our Lord informs us of how He created these worlds. Allah Almighty has made the Prophet (peace be upon him) alive.

He is alive. Even before coming into the world, the Prophet (peace be upon him), by the destiny Allah permitted, was aware of events.

In this respect, the Prophet (peace be upon him), before even coming into the material world, in the realm of the hereafter, by our Lord was raised.

And what does he say? My Lord educated me, and educated me well. In this respect, what does Allah Almighty say? Do you not know that Allah knows whatever is on earth and in the heavens? To whom does He say this? To the Prophet (peace be upon him). Indirectly, to all of humanity.

He declares: this is in a book, in the Preserved Tablet. Allah has programmed all the beings He created, all things and the universe, from the particle to the sphere, to Himself. Therefore governing, directing and managing this universe is not hard for Allah.

Just as Allah created the universe with knowledge, there is also with Him a book that is preserved in the Preserved Tablet. Nothing is later added to it nor taken away from it. According to this verse, this proves that Allah is complete and perfect.

If Allah Almighty were not complete and perfect, what would He do?

He would try to change tomorrow what He did today, like us. We make something, then we see there is something better. Then we see that someone else has made a finer one. Isn't that so? But Allah Almighty created the worlds in harmony, in proportion, and established this order. If another order were set up on top of this order, the universe would fall into chaos. And if a deficiency were made below this order, the universe would again fall into chaos. That is why Allah is complete and perfect.

In this case, what do we say? When it says nothing is later added to it nor taken away, according to this verse this is proof that Allah is complete and perfect. So, that among created things a single particle would be created because something was missing, or removed because it was superfluous — that such a thing will never happen, Allah, who is free from any deficient attribute, makes known to us. So everything has been created in order and harmony. All created things, from the particle to the sphere, are programmed to Allah Almighty. Moreover, if these created things are preserved in a book with Him, then governing this universe and being aware of it is not hard for Allah either.

People have telephones. There are telephone exchanges.

Who talked with whom — the telephone exchange, those brains, record it. Ahmet talked this many minutes, that many minutes. If today the conversations of millions of people can be recorded in the brain of a computer,

if man does this with twelve percent of his mind, then how could, for our Lord with universal intellect, the governing of these worlds from the particle to the sphere or knowing them be hard for Allah?

How matter is created, what its elements are, and what will arise from the combination of the elements, Allah, who has the power to create and is all-knowing, knows.

Therefore, since Allah is the Creator, having knowledge of these things and substances is not hard for Allah. That is why knowledge of these substances is very easy for Allah. Because He is the One who creates. He brings into being from nothing. Yes.

Yes.
