On that Day when Allah will summon all the Prophets and Ask; “what was the response you received?” they will say; “We have no knowledge, certainly, You are the only One, All-Knower of all that is hidden (Ghayb)!”
Tafsir
After all souls have tasted death and the Day of Judgment has come, according to the verse of Allah (swt) that all souls will be returned to Allah (swt), on the Day of Judgment, when people are gathered before Allah (swt), He will call His Prophets to His presence and He will question them about their nations. When you told your nations about the existence of Allah, when you told them that you are the messengers of Allah, how did these people respond to you? And the prophets will say to Allah (swt). O our Lord, we have no knowledge. Surely it is You alone who know the secrets.
Why will they answer in this way? Allah (swt), who has made a covenant with each soul, has not shown anyone's covenant to anyone because of the value He places on human beings. He only reveals as much as He wills to His Prophets and His righteous servants. In this case, only Allah knows the secrets and the secrets of the hearts. In this case, people whom He knows to be good people may be enemies of Allah. Therefore, so that they do not lie, they will answer that only You know the secrets with the truth, entrusting their situation to Allah, since Allah knows best the servants of Allah, Who created them and gave them their destiny.
What is said in the video
Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 109, the noble verse. The day Allah gathers the prophets and says: what answer were you given – all the prophets will be gathered. Your communities, the peoples to whom you were sent as prophets – what answer did they give you? On the day He says this: we have no knowledge, surely it is You alone who fully knows the hidden things, they will say. Why do we have no knowledge?
Because after that, even though the prophets are alive, they do not know what the communities after them did – that is why. What does it say? It is You who knows the hidden side of everything, it says. That is, by saying it this way, it enters into a subtle point here. The prophets. What is this subtle point?
You are the one who is witness over us too and knows what we did, it says. That is why, before You, we are ashamed to tell what our communities, our peoples did, it says. Lest we tell it incompletely, it says.
The day Allah gathers the prophets and says: what answer were you given, we have no knowledge. Surely it is You alone who fully knows the hidden things, they will say, it says. Indeed. After all souls have tasted death and the Hour has come, according to Allah Almighty's verse that all souls will be returned to Allah, when at the new resurrection people are gathered before Allah, He will also call the prophets before Him and ask about their communities.
When you spoke to your communities about Allah's existence, when you told them that you are Allah's messengers, what answer did these people give you – He will ask. And the prophets will say to Allah Almighty as follows. They will say: O our Lord! We have no knowledge. Surely it is You alone who fully knows the hidden things, they will say. God willing. Here, here there is another very subtle meaning. A subtle meaning.
The prophet – does he not know that the people around him follow him? He knows. Then how is it that he says: we have no knowledge? Does a prophet lie? He does not. The subtlest meaning here: we know the secrets of your hearts too, it says. If Allah has not made known to the prophet the intention of the person before him, that person's intention the prophet cannot know. If Allah has not made it known. So, since Allah knows the intentions of all people best, they speak in this way. Of course. All the subtleties are right here. You know better than we do what passes through their hearts, it says. However much we (?) him as obedient to us, whether he is obedient to us or not, You know better, it says.
Do you see the subtleties here? Yes.
My dear.
What does it say? O our Lord, we have no knowledge. Surely it is You alone who fully knows the hidden things, they will say, it says. What are the hidden things? The secrets of our hearts. (?), it says. What lies in the remotest corner of your heart, which you are not aware of – I am aware of it, I know it, it says. How does He know? At the address Elestü bi Rabbiküm, according to our wishes and desires our Lord wrote our destinies, according to those destinies gave us characters, within those characters, knowing what we will do when the time comes, which wishes and desires we will have, (?) causes for us in that way, through our (?) we will earn reward and sin – our Lord knows.
Here is a noble verse for you. There is not a single living being until the Day of Judgment of whom We do not know what he will not do, it says.
Why will they answer like this? Allah Almighty, who made a covenant with each soul, because of the value He gives people, has not sent anyone's covenant to anyone else.
Only as much as He wills – to His prophets, to His (?) servants He makes known as much as He wills of it; the believer (?) sees with the light of Allah. But how far? How far? Up to his state at that moment.
Yes. In that case only Allah knows the hidden things and the secrets of hearts. In that case, people he knows to be good people, those before him, may be enemies of Allah. Therefore, so that they do not lie – since Allah's servants, Allah, who created them in the most beautiful way and gave them His will as their destiny, knows best – they will entrust their state to Allah and answer: only You fully know the hidden things.
Open eleven commentaries. Can you find a word like this? Hodja, (?). (?). These are the roots of the verses. (?) I had promised this. This was a very interesting matter. What a subtle matter. May Allah grant (?).
In that case they even (?) the prophets. Impossible, Hodja. They ascribe attributes. May Allah protect us from worse.
