“Oh my Dear Lord! Verily, you know the things we hide and the things we reveal because whether on earth or in the heavens, there is nothing that is hidden from Allah.”
Tafsir
O my Lord, there is nothing hidden or concealed in Your sight. You know what is in people's hearts and what they will do. What is visible in the light of the day is the same to you as what is visible in the darkness of the night.
Nothing will remain hidden from You, neither in the earth nor in the heavens. For Allah is not free from His creatures. He has created them all under His sovereignty. O Allah, who knows the atoms of matter and their nuclei, their movements, what they need and what they move, their desires and wishes, who proves to them that there is no God but Himself, and who makes all His creatures, animate and inanimate, recite the remembrance of Him (the heavens and the earth and all that is between them know the remembrance of their Lord), who makes them recite the remembrance of Him, who keeps them under His sovereignty, according to the verse, O Allah! You are all-powerful and all-sovereign.
What is said in the video
Surah Ibrahim, verse 38. O my Lord! Surely You know what we conceal and what we reveal. For nothing, neither on earth nor in the heaven, is hidden from Allah. Neither on earth nor in the heaven. Now, the One who all these worlds, with (?) knowledge, created and programmed, that program to Himself (?), who knows everything within that program down to every particle and with His knowledge makes those particles do dhikr of Him: Allah. There is nothing, hidden or manifest, that He would not know. Yes. Whether the seventh depth beneath the earth, or the remotest corner of the heavens. In this case, Allah Almighty says: the heavens and the earth.
What is between these two has known the dhikr of its Lord, He says.
Allah Almighty, of all these substances, into the nuclei of their atoms, electrons and protons, positive and negative (?), He has placed. While they spin around their own axes, they make a sound. Even though we do not hear it, Allah Almighty, with that sound, whichever of His attributes He wants remembered, has it remembered. For example, a factory gets a patent. For example Sabancı. It puts its (?) stamp on it. (?). It belongs to Sabancı. No one else can stamp it anymore. Vestel puts its own stamp. Koç puts its own stamp on its patents. Like this, no second party can stamp this patent. Allah, who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them, when He programmed these worlds, from the particle to the globe, programmed them to do dhikr of His Self, and just as no created being can rule over any of these created things, that no created being has any right over what our Lord created, and that there is no god but Allah, that the Owner of all these created things, with absolute power, the absolute Owner, is Allah — this He symbolized.
Yes.
And all these beings, from the particle to the globe, do dhikr of Allah. In this case, Allah Almighty is not detached from what He created in this universe, and He is the One who (?) their states and movements, who knows them and is aware of them.
In the darkness of night, on a pitch-black rock, a stone, a pitch-black ant's walking and its sound — Allah knows it.
Knowing what passes through people's hearts, Allah — according to the verse where He says 'We are closer to you than your jugular vein', and where He says 'We know the secrets of your hearts', according to that verse — He who knows what passes through our hearts, but when an evil thought passes, as long as we do not put it into action, writes for us neither a sin nor a good deed in any way. But if something good passes through our heart, even if we cannot put it into action, still our Lord writes a good deed. His mercy upon people, and how much He loves people, He symbolizes here. Yes. What does Abraham say?
O my Lord! Surely You know what we conceal and what we reveal. For nothing on earth or in the heaven is hidden from Allah. Yes.
O my Lord, surely in Your presence nothing hidden or covered exists. You know what passes through people's hearts and what they will do. Whatever is seen in the light of day, and what is seen in the darkness of night too, are the same in Your presence.
Yes.
Neither on earth nor in the heavens does anything remain hidden from You, because Allah is not detached from what He created; He created them all under His rule. The atoms of substances and their nuclei, their movements, what they will need, and their stirrings, their wishes and desires — He who knows them, who, proving to them that there is no god besides His Self, makes all His creatures, living and lifeless, do dhikr of His Self — 'the heavens and the earth and what is between them have known the dhikr of their Lord', according to this verse — who makes them do dhikr of His Self, under His rule: You, my Allah, You have power over all things, and You are the One whose rule over all things prevails, he says. Yes.
