Tafsir
In this verse, Allah (swt) says that the earth revolves around its axis and He puts the night into the day and the day into the night in order to explain that He created the universe with knowledge. That is to say, Allah, the Creator of this and similar worlds, has not found it difficult to create such events, as He informs us in many verses that the seasons come into being when the earth revolves around the axis of the sun, and the days and nights come into being when the earth revolves around its own axis.
He brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living. This tells us that it is not difficult for Allah, Who created out of nothing, to kill and resurrect His creatures. The knowledge of all this is with Allah. When Allah (swt) creates a creature out of nothing, He puts seeds in that creature. When that creature dies, its seeds come to life again and ensure the continuation of that generation. There is also a cell in a human being that does not die. When people die in this world, because this cell does not die, it will be resurrected in the Judgment and the human body will come to life again. This is how He brings forth the living from the dead.
And to whomsoever He wills, He provides in abundance. Whoever is given much sustenance will have no share in the Hereafter. Allah (We give the wrongdoers high positions in their places so that they may increase their disbelief), and if a man is immersed in worldly wealth, surely Allah gives him that wealth as a reason to increase the degree of his disbelief. And whoever is obedient to Allah and spends what Allah has given him for the sake of Allah on the orphan, the poor, the wayfarer and the captive, Allah will reward him for it with as many rewards as He wills.
What is said in the video
Wa huwa bi-kulli khalqin alim. What does it say now? Say: He who created them the first time will bring them back to life. Because He knows every kind of creation very well.
(?), if all the verses confirm one another and Allah Almighty, with every verse, makes the existence of His essence known to people, here too, again in this verse, His saying, He merges the night into the day and the day into the night, proves to us that, beyond human power, these worlds were created with knowledge, that nothing is a coincidence, and that the one who created this is Allah. In addition, He says, He brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living. Yes.
From this He also declares to us that for Allah, who creates from nothing, causing His creatures to die and bringing them back to life is not hard for Allah. The knowledge of all this is with Allah. When Allah Almighty creates a living being from nothing, He places seeds in the being He created. When that living being dies, its seeds come into being again and ensure the continuation of that lineage. In man too there is a cell that does not die. When people die in this world, since this cell does not die, it will be revived at the gathering and the human body will come into being again. His bringing forth the living from the dead will be like this.
What is it? His bringing forth the living from the dead. We will revive you exactly, down to your fingertips, He says. And the fingerprints of people from our father Adam until the Day of Judgment do not match one another. His saying, We will create you exactly down to your fingertips, is that seed, that cell in a person's own body, again, down to that person's fingertips, I mean, in the hereafter representing him, and that body being revived again; according to the verse, when you come before Me with a driver, souls and bodies face each other there, and the bodies bear witness before Allah Almighty.
Yes.
We said that creating is not hard for Allah Almighty. In one verse He also asks people: Is creating the first time harder, or is causing death and reviving after creating harder? Of course, creating the first time is harder. Because He will bring it into being from nothing, set up that system, and give life to that system. After that, having it maintained again is easy for Allah. Because He will place seeds in it, cells. Those seeds will ensure the continuation of the thing He created. Yes.
And to whoever wishes He gives countless provision.
Whoever is given much provision, has little share in the hereafter. Allah Almighty: We give those criminals positions where they are so that it increases their kufr. If a person becomes (?) to worldly goods, surely Allah gives him that wealth as a cause so that he rises to the degree of his kufr. So not "who wishes", not "whom He wills" – "who wishes"; not "whom He wills", "who wishes". If it were whom He wills, Allah Almighty would have loaded onto another what he cannot bear, and would have created causes for him to load (?) onto kufr. Allah forbid – no one can ascribe attributes to Allah, and from deficient attributes Allah Almighty is free.
Yes, surely Allah gives him that wealth as a cause so that he rises to the degree of his kufr. Look what we are saying: so that he rises to the degree of his kufr. Who says? If one who obeys Allah spends the wealth Allah gave for Allah on the orphan, the poor, the stranded traveller and the captive, Allah in return gives him countless rewards, as much as He wills. Now this is Allah's willing. This is Allah's willing. As much as He wills. Now there is the wishing of His creatures, and there is the willing of Allah. Here, ranking, and indeed, out of His mercy, giving as much as He wills countless provision, (?) and reward belongs to Allah alone.
Where our Lord's willing is and where people's wishing is, people must know very well. If people knew that, according to verse 172 of Surah Al-A'raf, when people made their covenant with Allah Almighty, their desires and wishes were written for them as their destiny, then where Allah Almighty wills and where people wish would come out very clearly.
