Ibrahim 46: Verily, while the punishment of conspiracies was (apparent) on the side of Allah, they set up their ambushes. But mountains were not to move with their conspiracies.

We repeat verse 46 of Surah Ibrahim.

While the punishment for their schemes was known to Allah, they laid their traps. Yet their schemes will not move the mountains from their place, says Allah Almighty.

Who are these people? Those who called the prophets Allah Almighty sent liars, those who overstepped the limits Allah has set, and the people destroyed on earth. Allah Almighty is speaking of them.

Although the traps they laid were known to Allah Almighty, they thought they would move the mountains on earth from their place. Yet Allah Almighty has programmed these worlds; people, each of whom will prove what kind of person they are and pass on to the hereafter, these people do not have the power to disrupt the order that Allah Almighty has programmed. In that case, such people, by wronging their own selves, were exposed to destruction. This is how Allah Almighty shows people examples. What does He say? O people, on these lands you are settled on, the state of the people who lived before you, has it not been made clear to you? The traps they laid: they only met the destruction of their own selves. In that case, since Allah Almighty will complete His light until the Day of Judgment, since He shows people those He destroyed in the past each as a cautionary example, He makes known that people should return to the truth. But where are the people who will take a lesson from those examples?

Those who attribute everything to nature, call it a natural phenomenon and move on.

These people who deny Allah and associate partners with Allah, while in Allah's sight their punishment is known. What is their punishment? They will come to earth and, because they deny Allah, the limits Allah has set they will overstep, and they, they will be subjected to eternal wrong against their own selves. That is, they will perish, and in the hereafter too, to eternal life in Hell they will be subjected. That is, while it was known to Allah that these peoples, continuing in their insolence, by denying belief in Allah and rejecting the hereafter, would be destroyed, these people, heedless of their own state, grew proud and in their own reckoning saw themselves as very strong.

Yes. Earlier, Allah Almighty, earlier, when He created certain peoples, created them like church pillars. Like the people of Ad. The (?) people. They would carve out mountains and build palaces. palaces, and they thought themselves the rulers of the earth.

Just as mountains, keeping the balance of the world, firm and strong in their place, are the pegs of the earth. We said the mountains are the pegs of the world. We didn't say it. Allah Almighty says it. The mountains are the pegs of the world, He says. Here it is a figurative meaning. Figurative. The world is a piece of land spinning suspended in empty space, together with its seas.

In that case, where does the world's peg come from? What is this world tied to? As we said, in a figurative sense. Mountains, by their creation, were created as heavy masses. Beneath them are water reservoirs. With these mountains being created so large and majestic, the water reservoirs below, beneath the mountains, give an extra weight to the world. In that case, since the world turns about its own axis, covering 40,000 kilometers in 24 hours, it is flung by centrifugal force. Now, what we call the natural phenomena that will occur on earth, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, or the atoms people drop from one place to another, or the tests, certain imbalances that will occur in the world, due to being flung by this centrifugal force, the events in the world, due to the rotation of this world about its own axis.

around it, due to excessive flinging from centrifugal force, the events happening in the world; it prevents the world's rotation, the world from being affected. In that case, Allah Almighty declares the mountains the pegs of the world. To give an example: a helicopter has rotors. We call them blades. Three blades or two blades. Well, if you were to lift the helicopter in place by these rotors, the rotors would not lift the helicopter, they would break. But when it spins around its own axis, at the tip of each of those rotors a pulling force of 20 tons arises. And the weight of the aircraft, the helicopter, is either 2 tons or 2.5 tons.

With a pulling force of twenty tons, with the force of flinging, from centrifugal force, with a pulling force of twenty tons, it whirls these two, two and a half tons around. So too the world's mountains and the waters beneath them: as the world turns about its own axis at 1,666 kilometers per hour, and from this centrifugal force is flung, the events that will happen within the world do not affect the world. The world is saved from these effects. Since Allah Almighty knows what people will do in the world, He created the world firm enough to keep it alive until the Day of Judgment. He programmed it that way.

Yes.

Just as we said, mountains, keeping the world's balance, firm and strong in their place, are the pegs of the earth, these too, seeing themselves strong this way, the weak, that is, those who believed in Allah, they tormented and persecuted, and Allah's religion they thought they would abolish.

Once (?), let a person but rebel against Allah Almighty.

If that nature of his, with which he rebelled, was written for him as destiny, if his desire and will, his wish, was written for him as destiny, that person will never again, for eternity, know Allah. In that case, Allah Almighty, in His verse about them: and by denying Us, they had a veil drawn over their eyes to seeing the truth, had their ears stopped and had their hearts sealed. For them, He says, there is an eternal punishment. Yes.

In that case, no one can go outside these worlds that Allah Almighty has programmed, nor can they bring any harm to our Lord's program. Yet on the contrary, since Allah's religion, pure and sound, strong and balanced like mountains, will endure until the Day of Judgment, these people thought that with their schemes they would move the mountains from their place. Yes. What does Allah Almighty decree in His verse?

Did they think they would extinguish Allah's light with the blowing of their mouths? Allah will complete His light until the Day of Judgment, He says. Why will He complete it until the Day of Judgment? However many people will come to earth, our Lord created us in the world of souls, in that realm of Lahut. He created our souls. He made a covenant with them. Until the time each would come into the world, He took them up to the realm of Barzakh. In that case, so that each person may come into the world and prove what kind of person he is, Allah Almighty, so that the world could endure until the Day of Judgment, programmed the world, programmed the worlds.

Therefore no power or might among created beings can disrupt this program that our Lord has programmed.

That is, they thought they would abolish Allah's religion. Yet with their schemes or the blowing of their mouths, Allah's light they would not extinguish, we said. Yes.
