Translation

And Allah is the One Who has created and produced you on earth, and you will be gathered to Allah’s presence.

Tafsir

Allah (swt) also declares in this verse that there is no God but Himself, that all beings and human beings are the creations of Allah (swt), and that He created and produced human beings and many other creatures on earth.

The human being is a great universe in itself. If man thinks about his own creation, he will realize that there is no other creation as honorable as the human being. The distinction of this creation from other creatures is that man has a soul, which is a part of Allah. In this respect, since Allah does not distinguish man from His Essence, He says, "I have created man in the most beautiful form" (lekad haleknel insane fi ahseni takvim). In addition to flesh and bones and this body, man also has a soul. We have explained the formation of these two objects together in the verse above. In this way, man cannot deny his creation and therefore cannot deny Allah.

What is said in the video

To Surah Al-Mu'min, verse 79, we have come.

And it is He who created you on earth and produces you.

How does He produce us?

Did He set up a visible factory here and turn out humans there? Allah Almighty creates our father Adam and our mother Eve as the first human factory. Then, into that factory: in the world of barzakh, the souls that earlier in the world of lahut He created and made a covenant with; when the time comes, to that mother and father: which person will get along better with them, which person, with that mother and father, better, by being tested in the world, what kind of person he is brings to light. Allah knows this. He takes it from there. He places the soul whose time has come into that mother's womb.

Yes. In this case, in this case, when Allah Almighty, creating the earth, "It is He who created you on earth and produces you," says, He first arranges the way we come to earth. That is, on the earth He prepares the setting in which man can carry on his life. After that He brings man. Well, onto the earth from the state of Paradise, our father Adam and our mother Eve, because of (?), He takes them out and brings them to earth, and produces on earth. He produces, but on earth He doesn't tell us, go on, go fend for yourselves. All our food, whatever we need, into the world: mines, gold, diamonds, rubies, what do you want?

The creatures of the sea, the birds in the air, the creatures on the ground, on land, to man's command He gives them, He creates them, He makes man's life there in the world pleasurable. Think of a person, think of a boss feeding a hundred people, two hundred, three hundred, five thousand, ten thousand people.

Allah feeds and gives drink to all His beings in this universe. Yes. It is not hard for Him at all.

In this case, if a person reflects a little, our Lord's majesty, and the purpose for which He created us: holding us as addressees of Himself, that we recognize Him only once, say "Allah", and in return He offers us Paradise, He makes this known. He asks nothing else of us. And we, amid so many blessings, the so many blessings He has given, as you know, in Surah Ar-Rahman too, thirty-three times Allah Almighty says: which of Allah's blessings do you deny? In this case, if we don't deny the blessings He gave, say "Allah" once and give thanks for the blessing He gave, then, because we conform to the purpose of creation, you say it, and I will (?) you. Just you say it.

Yes. That is, would a person, out of this pride and arrogance, with this haughtiness, out of this egotistic feeling, in a way that pleases Satan, in a way that pleases that Satan who is the enemy, follow the enemy and let the enemy put, well, the yoke on his neck and be dragged along after him?

That is, this is not something reason can accept. So Allah Almighty brings us to earth, all kinds of vegetation suited to our life, its plants, whatever is needed, He sends these to us. According to His verse that says "Only before Him you will be gathered", later we will be asked about these too. Yes, we will be asked about these blessings He gave too.

Allah Almighty again, with this verse, that there is no other god besides Himself, that all beings and humans are Allah's creations, that He creates people and so many more creatures on earth and produces them, makes known.

Man is in himself a great universe. Yes. In himself (?), even a great universe. If a person considers his own creation, he will understand that among created beings no creature as honorable as man was ever created.

Why is man a universe in himself?

All created beings, including the angels, have no soul. That is, they have no inner heart.

Man in himself is a universe. Take a computer, take its memory as ten megabytes. Take a computer, take its memory as ten gigabytes. Take a computer, its memory, let's say, a thousand gigabytes.

In this case man, of these created beings, has the largest memory.

Including the angels, he has the largest memory among them. Because the others are all limited by a program. Limited, limited. But man develops within this memory. According to his covenant, that memory too develops itself in proportion to reason. In this case, above all created beings, in himself he becomes a universe equipped with his own being.

He can govern himself. He can make judgments. Well, he can command. In himself a commander. He can rule over beings. Yes.

Only reason is limited within a certain capacity, of course. Why? If Allah Almighty had not limited reason, man would go on to creating as well. That is, man too would become a creator. He would go for immortality. He too would become a god. Therefore Allah, who brought these worlds into being from nothing, over His own creation will not make you ruler. In this case, within what He created, to man and to His creatures He does no wrong.

What is it we want? A good life. Don't we all, all people, always want that? Look at the non-Muslim too. A good life. Not depending on anyone.

Like that. Health, well-being.

In the hereafter, health and well-being are permanent anyway, a good life is permanent. Of course, if you know Allah as Allah. Yes. The Creator, as creator, is also the one who governs and rules the worlds. Because that knowledge is with Him. That secret of creating is with Him.

He takes pleasure in that. He takes pleasure in creating. He takes pleasure in (?) those who turn to Him. He takes pleasure in feeding and giving drink to His creatures.

He takes pleasure in those who remember Him.

(?) with the abilities man has made. And what do we do? Within our own lives, a better life, better pleasure and enjoyment, better, well, health and well-being. Everyone has a duty. Well then, in the hereafter we, in the gardens of Paradise we, in pleasure and enjoyment will live. So for us, Allah's creatures, well, looking after and feeding them would be heavy. We could not cope with that. That belongs to the Creator. That belongs to our Lord. He takes pleasure in it. In feeding, giving drink, well, protecting His creatures, having them perform their duties. That's how it is. Everyone will know his place.

Yes.

Let us read the verse from the beginning. And it is He who created you on earth and produces you. Only before Him you will be gathered. With this verse Allah Almighty again makes known that there is no other god besides Himself, that all beings and humans are Allah's creations, that He creates people and so many more creatures on earth and produces them. Man is in himself a great universe. If a person considers his own creation, he will understand that among created beings no creature as honorable as man was ever created. The privilege of this creation over other creatures is that in man the soul, which is Allah's (?), is present.

Therefore, because Allah does not set man apart from Himself: Lekad halakne'l-insâne fî ahseni takvîm. "I created man in the most beautiful form," He says. So man, besides this body of flesh and bone, also has a soul. How these two come together, we explained in the verse before. In this way man cannot deny his creation. And because of this he cannot deny Allah either. Yes.
