Moses said; “Do you (always) say this when truth comes to you? Is this sorcery? But sorcerers cannot attain salvation.“
Tafsir
Moses said to Pharaoh and his people: "When a sign comes to you from Allah, the Owner of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, do you always say that this is magic? Is this magic that you say that? Allah's miracles are true. Allah calls people with miracles to salvation through faith in His existence. Because miracles are beyond human power. But they are forces that come from God.
(But magicians are incorrigible.) Because the people who do magic cannot do magic unless they disbelieve. Therefore, because it is pleasing to the souls of these magicians to be proud, they prefer this temporary mortal realm to the hereafter by showing magic to people. They buy the life of eternal hell by practicing magic in order to benefit for a short time in this world and to make people shy away from them and respect them. Such people will not prosper. We are a messenger from Allah. We are Allah's servants on a mission to invite you and your people to the truth. We do not invite you to ourselves by magic. We invite you and us to Allah, the Creator of all these worlds.
What is said in the video
We have come to Surah Yunus, verse 77. Moses: "When the truth comes to you, will you always say this of it?" That is, how beautifully he says it. Whenever falsehoods stand up against the truth like this, will you always, in this way, against the truth speak falsehood? Will you never use your reason and grasp the word of truth? Events that are beyond human power, will you call them magic? Yes.
"Is this magic? Yet sorcerers never prosper," he said. Now, when I compare what I myself explain with such verses: although I explain the truth to you, explain the verses of the Quran, falsehoods stand up against us. Because they cannot grasp a few words, in those few words: the manifestations, the partial will, and our creation as a part of Allah Almighty's Self, our Lord giving us from His spirit as a part of His Self, and His holding us as addressees of His Self, and to the Prophet, as Süleyman Çelebi says, you know: "I made My Self a mirror to your self, to see My Self in your self I created you," His saying this; these matters having remained somewhat covered, with our opening them a bit more, by opening them up; and with time, as technology advances and minds come more into play, instead of people comparing falsehoods with their own minds, or comparing their old knowledge, those who, in the face of the truth, the word of people who explain the truth to people in this way with words that do not contradict each other, cannot compare, cannot be saved from falsehood.
They cannot be saved from falsehood. In that case, although we explain the truth to people, people sometimes stand up against us. Well, they remain in amazement. So what kind of amazement this is. Abdulqadir Gilani concealed this matter, such words, within these words. What does he say? "If man had entered the place in Allah's hand, he would say, la mülke illa yevmelî, today the dominion is mine alone," he says. Well, in response to this word, Allah Almighty says, "I made you the vicegerent of the earth." The vicegerent of the earth. A khalifa is one who looks after things in someone's place. Khalifa.
Well, in the verse too: "We made man honoured above the worlds," He says. However many worlds have been created. Whatever has been created in the realm of Malakut, in existence, whatever has been created. If Allah Almighty made him honoured above them, He took that being He honoured as a mirror to His Self. So He gave him a part of His spirit. And honoured him with His Self. And held him as the addressee of His Self. In that case Allah Almighty says, "I created man in the most beautiful form." In the most beautiful form. And after that He says, "With the most beautiful attributes, in form too, it is I." Now I could ask Allah Almighty a question like this.
I have a bit of boldness in me. Boldness. "My Allah, You said: I created man in the most beautiful form." What do You say? Lekad halaknel insane fi ahseni takvim. "I created man in the most beautiful form." "In the most beautiful forms, the attributes are Mine too." Now, are You more beautiful, or am I more beautiful? All the questions that would come to man's mind, would Allah Almighty not (?) them? People will cut off the question; how will they cut it off? Allah Almighty says, "I did not separate you from the Self; I gave you a part of the forms. You are a part of Me; you remained within certain attributes.
I, to you, in a way that continually changes shape, being all people's forms and even more, change form (?), and in the most beautiful form too it is I." It is clear like that anyway. And if, as a part of Allah Almighty, from Him, as a su-, a form, a part, it is in us, and the whole is in Allah Almighty, then yes, we say to that now.
Of course Allah Almighty, lehü'l-esmâü'l-hüsnâ, "In the most beautiful form too it is I," will say. Now, when people cannot accept some things, when we open these places up like this, look, someone says (?). But still, like this: insane fi ahseni takvim, "I created man in the most beautiful shape," He says. Or "created with form." This one says, he says, lehü'l-esmâü'l-hüsnâ, that is, attributes, within formed attributes, the most beautiful attributes. It says attribute, it is not form. Well, what is my attribute? What is the attribute of this form of mine? What is an attribute, what is a form?
My form is the appearance of my attribute, that is, of my shape. My form. When I say form, is this what you'll understand now? You will see my attribute, that is, the reflection of my quality, as form. So in people there is neither knowledge nor information. In that case they stand up against you with some words. Man has been created very honoured, and because man was created very honoured, since Allah Almighty also gave (?) from His Self, He left man free in his own will and held him as the addressee of His Self. He created man very strong and strong-willed. In the universe there is no being as strong-willed and strong as man, within his will, within his mind.
Yes.
Moses: "When the truth comes to you, will you always say this of it? Is this magic? Yet sorcerers never prosper," he said.
Moses said to Pharaoh and his people: "When to you, from Allah, who owns the heavens and the earth and what is between the two, a miracle comes, will you always say, 'This is magic'? Is this magic, that you speak like this?" Allah's miracles are true. Allah calls people through miracles to the existence of His Self, to salvation through faith. Because miracles are beyond human power. They are powers that come about only from Allah. Miracles.
But sorcerers never prosper. Because people who do magic cannot do magic unless they enter kufr. Therefore, because pride pleases the selves of these sorcerers, by showing people magic, this temporary, perishable world over the world of the hereafter they prefer. To benefit for a short time in the world, and so that people fear them and respect them, by doing magic they buy an eternal life in Hell. Such people never prosper. "We are a messenger come from Allah. We are Allah's servants tasked with inviting you and your people to the truth. We do not invite you to ourselves by doing magic. We invite you to Allah, who created us and you and all these worlds," they said.
Moses. Yes.
