Al-Isra 98: This is their punishment. Because they had denied Our verses and said (with mockery); “When we become bones and decayed particles, will we be resurrected with a new creation, really?”.

We are explaining verse 98.

Surah Al-Isra, verse 98: This is their punishment. So this is their punishment, this is it. And surely, a complete punishment, it says. A complete punishment. Because they denied Our verses and said, "Really, after we have become a heap of bones and rotten earth, will we be raised in a new creation?" they said, it says. And in Ya-Sin they say it like this.

We created them, it says, from a lowly, despised water, it says. Today they have suddenly become open rebels. Yes.

"Really, after we die," it says, "will we be raised again?" it says. Let us read this part to you from here.

Well, Ya-Sin Surah.

What does it say? Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Does man not see that We created him from a sperm-drop? And then you see he has suddenly become an open enemy. Forgetting his own creation, he sets out to strike a likeness against Us. And he says, who will give life to these rotten bones? What does it say? Well, He will create. He will give life again.

Say: He who created them the first time will give them life. For He knows every kind of creation very well, it says. Yes. He knows very well every kind of creating, of bringing into being from nothing. So the verses always confirm one another. What does it say? This is their punishment. Because they denied Our verses and said, "Really, after we have become a heap of bones and rotten, become earth, in a new creation raised? Will we be raised?" they said. Yes.

Here.

Yes. Just as it occurs in Ya-Sin, here too: Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Evelem yerav ennallâhellezî halakas-semâvâti vel-arda kâdirun alâ en yahluka mislehum ve ceale lehum ecelen lâ raybe fîh. Well, this is probably verse ninety-nine; and verse ninety- eight is this part, zâlike cezâuhum. Verse 98: bi ennehum keferû bi âyâtinâ ve kâlû e izâ kunnâ izâmen ve rufâten e innâ le meb'ûsûne halkan cedîdâ. Now in the verse, always with verses close to one another, Allah Almighty, confirming one thing He has said with another thing He has said, without any word contradicting any word of His, writes six hundred

and some pages of text. They say 6666, but there are 6,300-some verses. Yes. This too is a miracle. And Allah Almighty, with each verse, with each verse, speaks of His essence and shows people a way. This too is a miracle. And in the verses, if the wet and the dry are in the Quran, the secrets of creation are there too. This too is a miracle. Addressing people with the mukatta verses, Allah Almighty, their secret being in His essence, their word known to His essence, in the verses, the mukatta verses, well, this too is a miracle. Yes. For those who do not believe in Allah and the hereafter, the punishment is a painful and grievous torment. Because they denied Allah's verses.

Forgetting their creation, they said, "Really, after we die and become rotten earth, a decayed heap of bones, will we be raised in a new resurrection?" Besides not believing in Allah's power to bring into being from nothing, to create, they denied how these created beings were created, and that, by destroying them, Allah Almighty can create them again.

Despite all the progress of themselves and of technology, people, to the objects they have made, are incapable of giving life. They cannot do it. It is not possible. That's one. Second, a person need not go anywhere far. If he wants to find his Lord, he will examine himself. He will critique himself. The eyes are a camera, taking in and giving out instantly. The ears are a (?) device; frequencies, it does not hear every sound. Well, a clock mechanism with a wound spring, like the mainspring of a clock, it keeps working. The lungs: only if there were a laboratory as big as the world would that laboratory do the work that these lungs do.

Right. He need not go far. Is it by some chance that this order comes about? If he raises his head like this from the earth towards the sky, the sun and the moon, the earth system, the lunar system, this (?) beyond human power, how, as a satellite, into the sky it places them, and these, years, months, days, without fail follow one another. (?) days settle on the earth, in the heavens. A power has created this. A power. That power created you too. That power has no second power. That is, there is no (?) second power that could reach this power. If there were, that one would take what it created, the other would take what it created, and everything would drown in corruption. In that case, if this power, since the founding of the universe, since our father Adam came into the world, has been addressing man, and if no other creator than this one addresses us, and if from that Creator no word of deficiency is found, and if over time in the Creator's word miracles appear, for example, like what?

We released fresh water and salt water into one another. Never: there is a barrier between them. They do not mix, it says. Captain Cousteau shouting "I found it" about the water he found in the Strait of Gibraltar. Well, in that case, if a person uses his mind, and what a beautiful mind Allah has given man, in that case a person, by what his own two hands have done, will either be (?) or be punished. So what does Allah Almighty say? Today, it says, so that no one is wronged, what you have brought or earned, in return for your two hands, will be given to you in full, it says. So let these verses stick in your ears, and whatever work you do on earth, factor in that tomorrow, well, you will be called to account, and act accordingly.

Whether it is a place where no one sees, or a place where everyone sees. So as to make no distinction between the two. If you constantly, even where no one sees, have the awareness that "my Lord sees me", then you will either be as you appear, or appear as you are. Yes. Anyway,
