Translation

Do you feel secure that Allah will not bury you to the ground on the land or send a storm with stones? And then, you will not be able to find a helper for yourselves.

Tafsir

People think that they are safe on the land. However, Allah, the Creator of the universe, has programmed these worlds with a program. Only Allah knows where and when and what will happen. By showing some parts of the programs to their loved ones about some events, such people are aware of the events that will happen in advance.

So when people are on land and suddenly there is an earthquake, or a hurricane, or a tornado, or a cyclone, or stones falling on people's heads, have they become safe from such events and forgotten Allah? If people feel safe from such calamities, what will they do when Allah's mercy is cut off from them? Then they will be all alone. When people think that they are safe, if the calamities that will befall them according to their understanding are not in the program in Allah's programming of the universe, their accidental conversations and feeling of safety coincide with a time when these calamities will not happen, and when human beings become spoiled, when human life is over and they pass on to the Hereafter, on the Day of Reckoning, they will be all alone, deprived of Allah's mercy. They will have neither an intercessor nor a savior there. Such people are the ones who have bought eternal torment in the Hereafter.

What is said in the video

Surah Al-Isra, verse 68: That He will not, on the land, sink you into the depths of the earth or rain stones on your heads, are you sure of that? it says. The verse I mentioned above, before starting this verse, now appears right here. it says. That He will not, on the land, sink you into the depths of the earth, or rain stones on your heads, are you sure of that? Then you will find no protector for yourselves either, it says. So must this only be remembered on land? If you use your reason, if you look at your past ancestors or at the lives of past peoples, those who asked Allah for miracles and, when Allah Almighty fulfilled those requests of theirs, still did not believe in Allah Almighty, did not believe in the prophets who showed those miracles and said this is poetry, have you not seen how they were destroyed, it says.

Must He take you only at sea? Such a calamity can rain down upon you on land too, it says. On land. So you are never safe, it says. Safety, as I said before, lies in taking refuge in Allah Almighty. If you say I will die anyway, how is that safe, if you say we will die anyway, but after death there is being subjected to a punishment. And there is also, after death, by the grace of Allah Almighty, attaining His mercy and enjoying delight in the lofty Paradise. Now, in which of them is there mercy? Weigh that up yourself. And if you say, how do we know whether Paradise exists? If you say, how do we know we will be resurrected in the Hereafter?

In Surah Ya-Sin Allah Almighty says this. E ve lem yere'l-insânü ennâ halaknâhü min nutfetin fe izâ hüve hasîmün mübîn. We created man from a lowly fluid. Ve darabe lenâ meselen ve nesiye halkahû, kâle men yuhyi'l-izâme ve hiye ramîm. They say, it says: will these decaying bones of ours be brought to life again? Say to them: for the One who created you the first time, the last creation is not hard. In that case, let us suppose that, Allah forbid, you did not believe this either. Fine, it is words said by others. Well, as their (?) said, you know, 'how do we know there is Paradise', as they say, who knows, if there really is Paradise in the Hereafter, then in the world the worship I have done will find its reward.

You, on the other hand, will find the punishment that answers your carnal desires. When I say Allah in the world, it brings me no harm. Let us suppose there is no Allah. We said: I said Allah, it brings me no harm. I performed the prayer, it brings me no harm, I keep my body healthy (?). Today, for bodybuilding, many pay money to such places and do exactly the prayer's movements; people are paying money to do this. But when he prays, he (?) his carnal feelings. This does not flatter them. So he stays away from the prayer. But if you have this person uncover his head and (?) and make him move, he likes it.

If we take these situations into account, just as my praying and saying Allah bring me no harm in the world, if there is a Hereafter, in the Hereafter I have lived. In return for your not saying Allah and not worshipping, for a life spent in carnal pleasure, in drink, gambling and debauchery, you suffer a worldly hardship, and in the Hereafter a painful punishment besides. So, using your mind with sound reason, weigh up these matters and decide for yourself, and turn to Allah, the Creator of these worlds, and try to be servants of Allah and of the ummah of His Beloved. So what does it say in this case?

That He will not, on the land, sink you into the depths of the earth or rain stones on your heads, are you sure of that? Then you will find no protector for yourselves either.

People think themselves safe on land, on the soil. Yet the One who created the universe, Allah, has programmed these worlds with a program. These worlds, with a program, He has programmed. Where, when, what will happen, only Allah knows. Of some events, to those He loves, by showing some parts of the programs, of events to come such people become aware beforehand.

What we mean here is this. Where, when, what will happen, only Allah knows. Of some events, He shows those He loves some parts of the programs. That is, on condition of showing some parts of these worlds' programs, of the events to come such people become aware beforehand. Such people thereby show karamat. For example, they say: if anyone wants karamat, we already see these. Forty years ago, what did we say? We said Turkey is surrounded by a ring of fire. Because our Lord has shown us some events spiritually, through the openness of kashf. Those who witnessed this, and not just three or five people, know it.

We said beforehand that people would commit fornication in the streets. We said that after my death, Turkey will enter an all-out war. Since we have not yet died, time is heading towards it anyway. These are being seen already. These are being seen too. In this case, Allah Almighty, by showing those He loves, from these worlds, of the future, piece by piece parts of those programs, such persons, by giving some news of this future, show karamat, and this in turn proves Allah Almighty's Being. Because a person has no knowledge of the future; he cannot know. Just as when the prophets showed miracles, it was not by their own power and strength, but by the power of Allah Almighty He shows the prophets what they wished, and they show miracles.

To prove the existence of Allah. To the saints too, Allah Almighty, to those He loves, from some programs of the future shows events, and by telling and saying this to people, they too show karamat. They show karamat. Of course, there are also those who just make wild claims. Those who make wild claims. With them, one turns out right and one wrong anyway. If among what we said too, one turned out right and one wrong, then we too are among those who make wild claims, it seems. Yes.
