Oh Messengers! Eat from which is clean. Commit righteous deeds. Verily, I truly know, what you are doing.
Tafsir
Allah (swt) addressed the Prophets and the last of the Prophets, Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.), and said, "Eat from what is clean", which means that the Prophets are human beings, and that they should eat from the halal sustenance that He has ordained for them, and that the Prophets are human beings, and that human beings should also eat from what is made halal for them.
Do good deeds; Allah does not want evil and immorality to spread on earth. In this respect, He sent Prophets to the tribes who increased their rebellion. The duty of the Prophets is to speak the truth on earth, to spread justice, to warn them not to turn to haram and to earn from halal and to guide them to the path of Allah, which is the straight path. Because Allah knows exactly what people do.
The meaning of knowing rightly here is that there is not a particle in the universe that Allah is not aware of it for a moment. Also, to know with the right means that Allah, who created the universe from mote to sphere, knows what He created each mote for and what duties it will perform. He has programmed these worlds accordingly. Accordingly, Allah (swt) is aware of and sees all His creatures at every moment, and knows what they have done and what they will do, what they have been and what they will do, what they have been and what they will be, what is before them and what is behind them.
What is said in the video
Surah Al-Mu'minun, the 51st verse. O Prophet! Eat of the things that are pure! Allah Almighty's address to the Prophet (peace be upon him) is an address to his ummah.
His informing the Prophet (peace be upon him) is informing his ummah. Why does He send prophets? As an envoy to his ummah. As an envoy between His Self and the ummah. Informing the envoy is informing his ummah. Yes. O Prophet! Eat of the things that are pure, do good deeds. What you do, I know fully, He says. Of course Allah Almighty knows even the secrets of our hearts. Because with them we made a covenant with our Lord. And our Lord, in return for our covenant, placed our characters in us. According to those characters we have desires and wishes. And according to those wishes our Lord creates causes for us. Through actual deeds we earn reward and sin.
We prove what kind of person we are. Because our Lord knows what we are, what does He say? We know what you are doing, He says. Yes, Allah Almighty, addressing the prophets and the last of the prophets, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), saying 'eat of what is pure' — means that the prophets too are human; that they eat of the lawful provisions He decreed for them, and, the prophets being human, that people too benefit and eat from what has been made lawful for them — this He commands. Yes.
His saying 'do good deeds': Allah Almighty does not want evil and immorality to spread on earth. When He says 'do good deeds', surely Allah Almighty wills that people on earth live with one another in a festive atmosphere. For this reason He sent prophets to peoples who had increased their transgression. The duty of the prophets is to speak the truth on earth, spread justice, warn them not to turn to the forbidden and to earn lawfully, and to lead them to the straight path, the path of Allah. Because Allah fully knows what people do.
Knowing it fully means without anything missing.
Yes.
The meaning of 'knowing fully' here: there is not an atom in the universe that Allah is unaware of even for a moment. Also, knowing fully: Allah, who created the universe from the atom to the globe, knows of every atom how He created it and what duties it will perform. He programmed these worlds accordingly. Accordingly, Allah Almighty is aware at every moment of all He has created, and (?) what they have done and will do, their past and future, what is before them and what is behind them — He knows it all. Yes.
