Yunus 55: Know that; everything in the heavens and on the earth belongs to Allah. And know that Allah’s promise is the Truth, but most of them don’t know.

Translation

Know that; everything in the heavens and on the earth belongs to Allah. And know that Allah’s promise is the Truth, but most of them don’t know.

Tafsir

O people! Know that since there is no other God but Allah, the heavens and the earth and all that is between them belong to Allah. All of this creation, from the mote to the sphere, is Allah's creation. According to the verse that says, "The inheritance of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah," there is no other God but Allah, so that this creation belongs to Him. O people! All souls will taste death, and since the wealth and property and this sovereignty belongs to Allah, all these things will remain with Allah.

So Allah's promise is true. The resurrection, the killing and the resurrection. belongs to Allah. It is He who brings forth the dead from the living. Resurrection by Allah's command after death and questioning in the Hereafter is true. Prepare for this day of questioning, and obey Allah so that you may receive His mercy and not be disappointed under His mercy.

What is said in the video

or else, if He is the only Creator, it is La ilahe illallah. How beautifully all the verses support one another like this. Know again that Allah's promise is true. Who can be as faithful to his word as Allah, it says. No one can. Because He created people deficient in mind. That is one. Leave aside being created deficient in mind. The keys of the unseen are in Allah's hand, it says. Allah Almighty, who created and programmed these worlds until Doomsday, knows until Doomsday what will happen second by second. Since Allah Almighty is free from deficient attributes, and since in these events He gives us words that guide people rightly, no one can be as faithful to his word as Allah and speak as truly as He does.

Eyvallah. Yes. Everything comes to light.

But most of them do not know, it says.

Most kinds have not been honored with the light of Islam.

Non-Muslims.

These fall into this group. In Islam there are sleepwalkers, and there are those bound by superstitions, but they have no right to enter this group. Why? No. Because with the light of faith of the word of tawhid in him, even if a person cannot grasp these things, he knows that Allah is capable of everything. And that saves him. Yes. O people, know that since there is no other god besides Allah, the heavens and the earth, these two and what is between them are Allah's — one, yes, because if there had been another god besides Allah, Allah Almighty says in His verse, one would take what he created and the other would take what he created, and everything would drown in (?), it says. Just as partners, when they part ways after a partnership, divide the property, the order of this universe does not resemble the order of those partners.

If there were a flaw in the order of this universe, everything would fall into chaos. For example, simplest of all, say someone else created the moon, and the sun and the earth were created by someone. If the one who created the moon threw it away, the sun and the earth, around each other's axes, once the gravitation is gone, would crash into each other. Is that so? Then the order of this created universe would break down. In this case Allah Almighty says, that one would take what he created, and the other would take what he created, and everything would drown in (?), it says. That is, the beautiful order of this universe would break down, Doomsday would break out, Doomsday.

And people could not live on earth; they would perish. This shows that there is no god besides Allah; this order created only by a Lord — I use the word Lord; Lord means Creator. Creator. These worlds, created by one Creator, created with a set program, a set level, as a universe that completes itself — like the gear of a clock's mainspring, this universe will keep this order turning until Doomsday. Turning. When will Doomsday break out? Allah Almighty has made such a beautiful program that no human will remain to come from the barzakh into the world. And people will break the order with their own hands, as they have begun to do, tearing the ozone layer and as they (?) the magnet at the North Pole, like the earth's deficient turning around its own axis, when it goes further, the melting of the polar glaciers, some parts of the world ending up under water, the climates changing, then then the sun setting in the west and rising from the west, and then, because the order is broken, with a reverse turn, when the earth spins loose around its own axis, this hadith will come true: Doomsday will not come until years pass like months, months like weeks, weeks like days, days like hours, it says.

So the earth, which starts spinning fast around its own axis, will be the counterpart of this verse: When the mountains pass like clouds, when the earth throws out what is in it, when the seas swell, when the sky flows like molten metal — according to this verse, the earth will explode from centrifugal force, the magma layer will burst out, and everything will be over. When those seas touch that magma part, when they touch that fire, of course they will swell. Oh my Lord. How beautifully Allah Almighty, with His knowledge, tells us how He will break the universe apart, how Doomsday will break out on the earth.

With His knowledge. He created it. He tells it with His knowledge. Yes. So most people grasp Allah Almighty's oneness, that He is the Creator of these worlds, but they cannot bow their necks and submit to Allah. Because there are spiked collars on their necks. A lale is a spiked collar put on the necks of wolf-hunting dogs. So that when the wolf goes for the animal's neck, it does not strangle it, it says. So people too, at the address 'Elestu bi Rabbikum', while in the realm of souls, while making the covenant with Allah Almighty — 'My beloved, do not mind their denying you. In their time they betrayed Me too,' according to that verse.

According to His saying, they are lying unbelievers. Although they know they were created by a Lord, they see Allah Almighty like their own being, like themselves, and cannot ascribe Godhood to Allah; these people, who wait for the Lord in their own imagination, with the fame, renown, pride and arrogance in their hearts, cannot bow to Allah. That is why there are spiked collars on their necks. Yes.

How beautiful the verses are, (?). If they explained such verses to people, people would never (?) like this, they would fear Allah. One day we will stand in the divine presence of the One who created us. This is a transient realm of travelers. Travelers. A thousand years here are like one day of the hereafter. In that case our life will end within a few hours. Allah Almighty, who creates time within time, people into this realm — as proof of His being free from deficient attributes, so that you would not say: 'Had You sent me to a realm where Your essence is not seen, look how I would have worshipped You there' — so that you would not say this, Allah Almighty, who created these worlds, brought you into this realm. Did you think you had no responsibility?

Did you think there was no yoke on your neck?

While you are a helpless human, not even able to manage yourself — go on, tell this advancing age of yours to stop! (?) While I cannot control this body, you turning my back on the One who created you — that person, can you call him a sensible person? And can you prove that this person, using his reason, can be someone who can be a servant to his Lord? In that state. These have fallen into Satan's trap, the matter of two-legged coffins, that is, of people loaded with worldly desire — they have run after it, they have turned their backs on Allah; deifying what Allah gave, they have become people who do not know Allah.

They have also become Satan's toys. Satan at least knew his Lord. And he asked his Lord for a lifespan until Doomsday. But you — although you were created so honored, although your Lord gave you a (?), although He created you honored above the worlds, you get up, turn your back on Allah, and while you can't even manage yourself, you eat and drink what Allah gave, and spend your life in the desires of the nafs, pride and arrogance, fame and renown, like the clattering of a stork. In the end, then, Allah'u bi'ahkeme'l-hakimin — in the presence of the Judge of judges, while giving account, you will burn inwardly like this.

Yes.

So, to be sensible, it is necessary to be a servant to Allah. It is necessary to carry out Allah's commands.

Covering up is not reactionism.

A nation does not fight for fame and renown. It does not save its homeland for fame and renown. A person lives to protect his homeland, his honor, his religion, his dignity, his pride, and those lands of that homeland kneaded with the blood of his ancestors.

If you lose your glory, your honor, this beautiful (?) Allah has given you, and you seek dignity and honor among the dishonorable — dignity and honor are only with Allah, it says. We sent you your dignity and honor. And you turn your back on your dignity and honor — according to this verse, if you turn your back on the Quran, what dignity and honor are you looking for, where?

So covering up is not reactionism. It is protecting your glory, your honor, your dignity, your chastity. Because He wants to see you always as a servant in Allah's sight, a servant as Allah wishes, Allah Almighty wants you to cover up. So that your honor and chastity are not squandered on other people, He covers you.

Today, if you pay attention to people, people sleep around with each other. It's unclear whose hand is in whose pocket. Is this Islam?

Is this it? In Islam, Muslims, toward one another, their lives, their honor, their blood are haram. Haram. Is this your Islam now?

They don't explain Allah's verses to people. They tell people superstitions and stories. Superstitions. Yes. In this case we will abide by the verses as far as we are able. By the verses. Those who abide by what they know, We teach them what they do not know, says Allah Almighty. Pay attention. I abide by what I know. What I don't know, Allah brings to me, gives me by inspiration.

That's why, ask whatever you want. If I didn't abide by what I know, I would give crosswise answers to your questions. What I've said so far, with words that don't fit together, (?) before you, I would fall into (?). But none of you can say that this word of yours overrides that word. That it contradicts. Yes.

Know that everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. Know again that Allah's promise is true. But most of them do not know, it says. Yes. O people! Know that since there is no other god besides Allah, the heavens and the earth, these two and what is between them, belong to Allah. And in a verse: or do you own anything of the world, a (?), a seed? If that were so, it says, you would not be given anything (?), not even a seed, it says. Because if you could create that seed, if you could bring something into being from nothing, you would meet your own needs yourself. You wouldn't present your needs to Me, and I would give you nothing of the world, it says.

O human, this body you carry is entrusted to you. It is your soul's mount, this mount. You see yourself as alone, but you are not. It is your car, your horse — this horse. At death — just as you leave your car outside and go inside, so at the moment of death you will leave your corpse and go into your Lord's presence. So use this mount of yours well. Your mount. Don't think you are alone. Yes. In this case, the trusts given to you — your clothes, your food and drink, your property and possessions, from the atom to the globe, everything is Allah's. And you are the trustee of these. You are the trustee of what was given to you.

Allah Almighty will even call us to account for the way we used them. So what do you own?

What have you come to own? Well, Hodja, shouldn't we own things? We will build up our world. We will work hard. Since it says the giving hand is better than the receiving hand, so as not to depend on anyone, we will reach a state where we can help people, the needy, and in Allah's sight, by giving in Allah's way from what Allah gave, become those who strive with their wealth and their lives. This is what Islam is. With this understanding we will both live Islam and build up our world. Yes.

As people say, a man prays like a wimp. O Allah, take it from the hands of the unbelievers. Give it to the first Muslim. From the other side: amen. Oh. Now there can be no mistake in the assessment. Accept Kenan Hodja. My Lord, accept. I'm a Muslim. He loves me very much. They love me, Hodja. O Allah, they love me. You beat him. Is that what you'll say?

I used to love my child. When he got a (?), I would beat him too. (?)

(?) Well, now, does this befit a Muslim? O Allah, look, You beat him, (?) me, save me. What are you? (?) You beat him, so that — that you have taken your place in Allah's (?), and that you are strong — prove this to the world with your faith and your character. Our ancestors proved it. The Ottomans proved it. Fatih proved it.

They have put us to sleep. They have made us wimps.

Yes.

Yes. All these created beings, all existence created from the atom to the globe, are what Allah created. The inheritance of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. According to a verse, there is no other god besides Allah, so that these created things could be his.

As I explained earlier, if there had been another god, that one would take what he created, and the other would take what he created, and everything would drown in (?). O people! Every soul will taste death; since property and possessions and this dominion are Allah's, all this existence will again remain with Allah. So Allah's promise is true. Giving life, causing death and giving life again belong to Allah alone. He brings the living out of the dead and the dead out of the living. After death, being raised by Allah's command, the questioning in the hereafter is true. So prepare for this day of questioning, and obey Allah, so that under His mercy, without coming to ruin, you may attain His mercy.
