Verily, in this Qur’an, We explained to mankind all types of examples in different forms. But most among mankind settled to be nothing but deniers.
Tafsir
Allah (swt) is exalted from all imperfect attributes. Since Allah made a covenant with His creatures in the beginning (kalu bela), He knows what they will ask for and what they will say. When people come to this world from the World of Berzah, Allah (swt) invites them to the Truth by giving them various examples in the Holy Qur'an, in order to prevent them from speaking with their egoistic desires, which are all they have to say. By explaining all kinds of examples in various ways according to the minds of people, He has proved His existence in a way that no rational person can deny.
However, since people disbelieved in Allah in the past (kalu bela), they have written their own wills as their destiny. When human beings, who have the will in their hands, come to the world, their nature is disbelief, rebellion against Allah and disbelief in the Hereafter, so they ignore the examples given by Allah (swt) in the Holy Qur'an, and choose the path of disbelief by ignoring these examples.
Why does Allah (swt) invite these disbelieving people to the Truth by sending Prophets and Books to them, knowing that they will deny Allah? These questions we have asked should not constitute a question, as we have explained them in the exegesis of some of the verses. If they are asked and answered in the form of a question, the human mind can comprehend the verses better. In reply, we say that Allah (swt) is exempt from imperfect attributes. Allah has created man very close to His Essence. He has given man his soul. In this respect, man has been created in the most beautiful form, addressed to the Essence of Allah (swt), and has become the equal of creation. When Allah, Who created man close to His Essence, made a covenant with human beings (kalu bela), some of them did not believe that Allah was the One who made a covenant with them. This is because Allah created man close to His Essence by giving him his soul. In this respect, Allah (swt) created this realm of property, which is a realm of the unseen and in which His Essence is veiled, to be suitable for human beings to live in and sent them to a realm in which His Essence is unseen. People should not say, "If you had sent me to a realm where your Essence is unseen, I would have obeyed your commands." It is for this very reason that Allah created these realms and sent human beings to this realm of property where His Essence is unseen, and He wanted His Essence to be known. But man wants and lives what is in his nature. It is inseparable from its origin and every creature returns to its origin and nature.
What is said in the video
We have come to verse 89 of Surah Al-Isra.
Indeed, We have explained to people in the Quran every kind of example in various ways, we say. In a way that everyone from the most ignorant to the most learned will understand, Allah Almighty does not give up giving similes to people. What does He say? With a mosquito and what is bigger, Allah never refrains from giving similes. That is, this is how He explains to people. That is, by giving similes to everyone from the most ignorant to the most learned, the existence of His essence, that He is the absolute Owner of the worlds, that there is no god but Him, that all created things were created by Allah — this He, to people, declares. Indeed, We have explained to people in this Quran every kind of example in various ways.
Yet most people accepted nothing but disbelief, He says. Yes.
Now these things happen to us.
(?) Like, good heavens, (?), denial comes this way, like this. It's not like that. This world is a likeness and shadow of the hereafter, you see. Now, out of love, in order to be close to Allah, from zakat, from the fitra donations that come in, from aid, we help people. We help. The people we help take us for suckers, for idiots, and set about swindling us.
So Allah also gives to people; since that person expects the Lord of his imagination, since Allah, to that person, gave from His spirit and did not separate him from His essence, His essence; since He created him so that He would see His essence in people, from His part, as a mirror, therefore man, at the address "Elestü bi-Rabbiküm", when created in Allah's world, because he saw his Lord as like his own self, did not believe in Him. Look, despite being valued this much, man did not appreciate that value and denied his Lord. He waited for the Lord of his own imagination. So we too, for our Lord's sake, so that we may attain His mercy, help His creatures eagerly, lovingly; and because of that, the people who take us for suckers, for idiots, and set about swindling us — aren't they in the same situation?
Whereas that person — if this person had not loved Allah, had not loved our Lord, would this person have given me this material thing? So, since he gave it to my Lord, I take it from my Lord — thinking so, without the giver or the receiver putting on airs, without feeling ego and vanity, without pride in one and humiliation in the other — if two brothers thought of helping each other in this way, what a sublime thought, what a beautiful humane, conscientious thought it is — shouldn't a person display that? Yes. Isn't that what being human is? Doesn't Allah Almighty want this from us? Doesn't He say there is no privilege among us, that Islam is brotherhood?
Look at the way people think. Look at the divisions. And then we read the verse: Indeed, We have explained to people in this Quran every kind of example in various ways. Yet most people accepted nothing but disbelief. Yes. Allah Almighty is free of deficient attributes. Since Allah made a covenant with the servants He created in the beginning, at Kalu Bela, He knows what they will want and what they will say.
Yes.
My tea had gone cold anyway. That was nice.
When people come from the world of spirits to this world, against all that they will say, speaking with their carnal whims, Allah Almighty in the Holy Quran, giving them various examples, invites them to the Truth. By explaining every kind of example in various ways according to people's minds, He proves His existence in such a way that no one with reason can deny it.
Yes.
But since people denied Allah in the beginning, that is, at Kalu Bela, they had their own wishes written for them as destiny. Man, who holds partial free will in his hand, when he comes to this world — since in his nature there is denial, rebellion against Allah and disbelief in the hereafter — these people turn a deaf ear to the examples Allah Almighty gave in the Holy Quran too, pay no heed to these examples, and the paths of denial they choose. Yes.
Allah Almighty, knowing full well that these people will deny Allah, sends these disbelieving people to the world — and furthermore, why does He send them prophets and books, inviting them to the truth? So it is being asked now. When we open up these questions we ask in the commentaries of some verses, they should not be a question. We say. Yes. If it is asked and answered in the form of a question, the human mind can better grasp the verses that are opened up. In answer we say: Allah Almighty is free of deficient attributes. Allah created man very close to His essence. He gave man from His spirit.
Therefore man was made the addressee of Allah Almighty's essence, created in the most beautiful form, and became the noblest of creation. When Allah, who created man close to His essence, made a covenant with people at Kalu Bela, some of the people, that the Allah who made the covenant with them was Allah, did not believe. Because Allah, giving man from His spirit, created him close to His essence. Therefore Allah Almighty created this world of mulk, where His essence is veiled and which is an unseen world, suitable for people's life, and sent people to a world where His essence is not seen. So that people would not say: had You sent me to a world where Your essence is not seen, I would have obeyed Your commands.
Solely on this basis Allah created these worlds, and by sending man to this world of mulk where (?) is not seen, He wanted His essence to be known. But man wants whatever is in his nature, and lives it. He cannot part from his origin, and every created thing to its origin and its nature returns.
