Ibrahim 20: This is not difficult for Allah.

Explanation
Translation
This is not difficult for Allah.
Tafsir
It is not difficult for Allah to create; that is, it is not difficult for Allah to create something that does not exist, nor is it difficult for Allah to produce and multiply from what He has created, nor is it difficult for Allah to destroy what exists and resurrect it. Because God is the creator.
Although people know what creation is, some of them confuse creation with certain events. Creation means to create a substance that does not exist. It means to create out of nothing. Otherwise, inventing something from a created substance by finding new sciences and inventing new things from them is not creation. People who confuse this point and say that so-and-so created so-and-so, are associating shirk with Allah. However, that so-and-so has created an invention from the materials created by Allah. He found a branch of science that did not exist. These branches of knowledge were created out of created matter. Otherwise, that person did not create that matter out of nothing.
Since such events, the creation out of nothing, are unique to Allah, Allah is the only creative power. No other creature is capable of creating anything. Allah has given people the blessing of reason. With this intellect, people find inventions from Allah's creations to fulfill their needs. Allah (swt) is proud of the branches that people have invented and the technology that has been put at the service of humanity. Because it is the highest peak of Allah's art of creation that the people He created use their minds to find things and meet their needs from the created objects. It is the existence of branches of knowledge as much as He taught our Prophet Adam.
In addition, people reveal what kind of a person they are by the way they earn and work in the world, by the way they earn their livelihood, by the way they desire God's creation, and by the things they do.
What is said in the video
Verse 20 says: this, for Allah, is not hard. For Allah, who possesses creating, the secret of creating, nothing is hard. Nothing is hard. Just as creating, that is, bringing into being something that does not exist, is not hard for Allah, so producing and multiplying from what He created, destroying what exists and again raising it to life is not hard for Allah, because Allah is the Creator. Is it harder to bring something into being from nothing, or to produce it from what exists? Now, Allah Almighty created this universe so that 17,000 worlds complement one another. That is, He brought it into being from nothing.
He will destroy them with the Day of Judgment and create them again. Again. Hodja, how will He create them? In every human, a cell that does not rot and does not vanish exists. In every human there is a cell that does not die, does not rot and does not vanish. All animals have them too. On the Day of Judgment, the sea on the sixth level, called the sea of secrets, human cells, these animal cells — just as rain gives the seed growth and life, humans will be raised again, and animals too. Again, from this water, but the one on the sixth level is called the sea of secrets. The sea of secrets.
In that case, humans and animals — the animals will take their rights from one another and vanish. And humans will be created exactly the same, down to their fingertips. Just as people's fingertips do not match one another,
in the same way, with that fingerprint, with the same features, he will be raised again.
We created you twice and will make you die twice — according to that verse,
our rising in the first body is here, our dying in the first body is here. Our rising in the second body is there. And our dying in the second body is also there. I am not saying it. The verse says it. What does it say? When the souls are paired, when you come before Me with a driver, We will, it says, silence your mouths, bind your feet and make your hands speak. After the testimony is over — indeed, the soul will say: Why do you testify against me? And the body will say: My Lord, who makes me speak, is making me speak. Then, after the testimony is over, the body will say to the soul exactly this.
The verse — I am not saying it. Allah says this. You are being returned to the One who first created, it says. It dies there a second time. Well, when he dies here a second time, one feels ashamed to say it, that is.
The hodja effendi who stands at the head of millions, the sheikh effendi — how does he bring a person into Paradise with this body? And how does he, together with the body, proclaim the pool at the gate of Paradise, have them washed and bring them into Paradise? One is ashamed, ashamed. And this is a hodja effendi. And on top of that, a sheikh at their head. Has sheikhdom been left to you? A sheikh is like Kibrit-i Ahmer. They are people. People like Kibrit-i Ahmer. These are believers who have risen to the contented nafs. People who have come to know the divine manifestations. If you knew the manifestations, would you say such words about them?
Of all things, has sheikhdom been left to you?
They are angry with me now. Listeners get angry. I speak the truth, the truth. Let whoever gets angry be angry.
Even if the whole world were on one side, on one side. Even if everyone turned their back on me, the Lord of the heavens and the earth is enough for me. I fear no one. I speak Allah's truth. Yes.
Just as creating, that is bringing into being something that does not exist, is not hard for Allah, so producing and multiplying from what He created, destroying what exists and again raising it to life is not hard for Allah. Because Allah is the Creator. Although people know what creating is, some confuse creating with certain events.
Creating means creating a matter that does not exist. That is, bringing a matter that in no way exists in this universe into being from nothing is creating. Producing something from what exists is not creating; it is invention. Invention is invention. What will you create from something that doesn't exist, that you say: you created, you created. Haven't you heard this verse either, that you say: you created? Or are you, in the world, able to create the seed of a sprout? If that were so, nothing of your world would have been given to you. So, did you create the seed of a sprout? If you could create it, you would also earn the right to create your own needs, and I would give you nothing of what I created in the world, He says.
In that case, humans do not create. They can only make inventions from what was created. Inventions. For example, like the discovery of electricity.
Like the making of certain inventions.
What does Archimedes discover? That when a ship presses on the water, the volume of water it displaces, that is, carries, lifts the ship up by that amount — he discovers that. While washing in the bath, when he put the bath bowl into the water in the basin, it did not sink. He says eureka, eureka, I found it. I found it. Ah. Yes. I found it. Those are inventions. He rather finds it from what was created. He does not bring it into being from nothing.
Creating means creating a matter that does not exist. It means bringing into being from nothing. Finding new sciences from an already created matter and inventing something from them does not mean creating. People who confuse this point, saying so-and-so created such-and-such, are ascribing partners to Allah. Rather, that person has produced an invention from the materials Allah created. He has found a branch of science that did not exist. These branches of science that were found came about from created matter. That person did not himself bring that matter into being from nothing.
Since such events, events of bringing into being from nothing, belong exclusively to Allah, the only creating power is Allah. Apart from Him, nothing created is able to create anything. Allah has given people the blessing of reason. With this reason, people find inventions from what Allah created and meet their needs. And Allah Almighty, of the branches people have found through inventions, of the technology offered to the service of humanity, is proud. Because that the people He created use their reason to build things and meet their own needs from created things is the most sublime summit of Allah's art of creation.
As far as He taught our father Adam, it is the branches of science being found.
Moreover, in people's situations of earning in the world, working and making a living, by the desire they feel toward what Allah created and by the deeds they have done, people reveal what kind of person they are. Yes.
