Translation

Allah is the One Who has created ears, eyes and hearts for you. How little you show gratitude.

Tafsir

With this verse, Allah (swt) again informs people that there is no other God but Himself (He is the One who created for you ears, eyes and hearts). It encourages people to contemplate and think.

That is to say, the one who created the ears is the one who created the organ of hearing with knowledge, that it is not a coincidence, that the sounds are transmitted to the brain through the organs called anvil and hammer in the ear, and that the sound waves are expanded in the brain and the speech is understood.

The creator of the eyes; the organ called the pupil, a lens in the eye that enables the appearance of things, and the transfer of shapes from the dark room at the back of the eye to the brain and the instantaneous appearance of shapes.

Also, when he says that he created the hearts, he means our souls. Souls were created in the beginning, then a covenant was made with our souls and then they were taken to the realm of Berzah, the waiting place of souls in their graves. Our soul, whose time has come, comes to the realm of property, enters the fetus on the fortieth day in the womb, and settles in a piece of heart in a place called the sine in the human chest. It is during the covenant of our soul in this piece of heart, called the heart, that it dominates the human will from there and directs the human being where it wants to go. It is the manifestation of its own destiny on the body. In the face of all these events, human beings, even for a moment, can use the mind, which we call the mind salary, this mind is a mind that keeps our bodies under control, a mind that is given to the human body in order to ensure the livelihood of our worldly sustenance, to understand good and evil, to distinguish between right and wrong. When man contemplates with this intellect, he is in a position to distinguish between good and evil, but the fact that he continues to deny that Allah is the true Creator, the only true God, shows that they are far from this contemplation. In this respect, in addition to their denial of Allah, they eat and drink Allah's blessings and sustenance with pleasure, but they do not give thanks to Allah.

What is said in the video

We have come to verse 78 of Surah Al-Mu'min.

For you, the ears, the eyes and the hearts: it is He who created them. How little you give thanks, it says.

Those enlightened people,

those who attribute everything to nature, I wonder, those eyes, did this nature give them to you? Did nature give you these ears so that you hear? This heart, the soul that this heart refers to, did this nature give it to you? Yes. Look, you denying disbelievers, look.

Look, the denier will meet punishment. Non-Muslims who long for Hell and say they yearn for hellfire.

It is He who created for you ears, eyes and hearts. How little you give thanks. With this verse Allah Almighty again tells people that besides Himself there is not even another god: It is He who created for you ears, eyes and hearts. He makes this known with His verse. He leads people to reflect and to think. That is, His saying "who created the ears" means His creating, within a frequency range, the ears. Apparently there is a kind of bat in Spain. If, he says, people had heard the (?) of that bat, pregnant women would miscarry from fear, and those with heart disease would die of heart failure, he says.

So when it says He gave the ears, it is Allah who created them within a frequency range. Indeed, today there are billions of frequencies. Frequencies. Our ear perceives none of them. But it perceives sounds. It perceives some sounds. Some sounds it does not hear at all. Because they are outside the frequency. Yes. How beautifully it says this.

The creating of the hearing organ with knowledge, that this is no coincidence, the sounds being carried to the brain through the organs in the ear called the anvil and the hammer, and, by (?) the sound waves in the brain, speech being understood: the One who created this with knowledge. That is the scientific side. Yes. Who created the eyes: a lens in the eye that lets things be seen, that is, the organ called the pupil, and the shapes from the dark chamber at the back of the eye being transferred to the brain and the shapes being seen instantly. Instantly. Today they bring out the Polaroid camera.

Even it cannot give you that image instantly, you see. It prints quickly on a card, but it cannot do what the eye does. Yes. And saying "who created the hearts" refers to our soul. Souls were created beforehand. Then our souls made a covenant, and afterwards were taken to the world of barzakh, to their graves, the waiting place of souls. When its time comes, our soul comes to the material world and on the fortieth day enters the embryo in the mother's womb, and in a piece of heart, in the place in the human breast called the bosom, within, it settles. Thus it is our soul, within this piece of heart called the inner heart, that, from there, with the destiny written for it during the covenant, rules over the human will and leads the person wherever it wishes.

Who? The soul. It rules. Why? According to its covenant there. Because it will live by it here. It wants, it desires. And Allah Almighty creates causes for it. Within those causes the person carries out deeds by his own desire and will. How beautifully he proves what kind of person he is. Yes. It is making its own destiny appear on the body. In the face of so many events, a person, even for a moment, with the reason we call akl-ı maaş, that is, the reason in the body. This reason keeps our bodies under control. To secure our worldly livelihood, understanding good and bad, so as to tell right from wrong, it is a reason given to the human body.

Although a person reflecting with this reason is in a position to tell good from bad, their knowingly, that Allah, as the one true God, is the Creator, continuing to deny it shows that they are very far from this reflection. Therefore, along with their denial of Allah, the blessings Allah Almighty has given, the provision, they eat and drink with relish. But they do not thank Allah. Yes.
