Translation

Know that all things in the heavens and the earth belong to Allah. Allah knows on which path you are. On the Day when people are returned to Allah’s presence, Allah will inform them about what they were doing. Allah is All-Knowing.

Tafsir

Allah (swt) says to mankind, "Know that whatever is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. Since there is no other God but Allah, Allah is the absolute Creator and Owner of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, who created all this creation out of nothing.

Since Allah (swt) created this creation, the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, He informs us that He is aware of every particle of them. Allah (swt) is aware of the heavens and the earth, which were created in such a vast and inconceivable magnitude, by revealing the states and movements of those between them and by ensuring the order of His unity. In addition to this, His knowledge of the human beings He has created and those who live in the realm of property is as nothing compared to what He has created. That is why He says, "He knows well what path you are on.

Because of the covenant of all souls with Allah (swt) in the address of Elestu bi Rabbikum, Allah (swt), who has given the wills of people to them as destiny, knows very well what these people will do, what they hide in their hearts and which path they will follow.

According to the verse "All souls will taste death", Allah (swt) will surely resurrect people in the Hereafter and hold their bodies as witnesses against their souls and hold them to account.

Just as Allah (swt) informs people of the good deeds and good deeds they do in the world, our bodies will bear witness against our souls. If we take a camera to record the deeds of a person, when we view this camera on a television screen and watch it, we will know what the person on the camera has done. Just as Allah (swt) informs people of what they have done, Allah (swt) is able to freeze the rays emitted by our forms and display them to us like a camera. Therefore, when Allah informs people of what He has done to them, without any soul objecting, people will not be able to accuse Allah (swt) and say that I did not commit this crime.

(Allah knows everything with truth). Because Allah is free from all deficient attributes. There is nothing that Allah does not know. Allah is All-knowing and All-wise.

What is said in the video

Know that whatever is in the heavens and on the earth belongs to Allah. Yes.

This is verse 64 of Surah An-Nur. Elâ inne lillâhi mâ fi's-semâvâti ve'l-ard, kad ya'lemu mâ entüm aleyh, ve yevme yürceûne ileyhi fe yünebbiühüm bimâ amilû, ve Allahü bi külli şey'in alîm. Know that whatever is in the heavens and on the earth belongs to Allah. He knows well what path you are on. Where does He know it? Where does He know which path we are on? In the address "Elestü bi Rabbiküm", when we made the covenant, since we had our wishes and desires, our will, written down for ourselves as destiny, our Lord – until the Day of Judgment there is not a single living being to come whose deeds We do not know.

According to the verse, He knows very well what every living being that comes into the world will do. On the day people are returned to His presence, He will at once inform them of what they did. Yes. Allah is the One who knows everything fully.

Know that whatever is in the heavens and on the earth belongs to Allah. True.

We do not own even a single atom. An atom, an atom. Hodja, we have a house, a car, a yacht, a summer house, a winter house. None of it is yours. Every soul shall taste death, and your return is to Me, it says. That's one. What does it say? Know that whatever is in the heavens and on the earth belongs to Allah. That's two. Third: the heavens and the earth, and what is between the two – their inheritance will remain with Allah, it says. fourth: Or do you own even an atom? If that were so, you would not be given from your world even as much as the (?) of a seed, it says. What does that mean? this is it: all of it, from the atom to the globe, whatever exists is Allah's, and we are the ones who use the trusts He has given us.

yes. Allah Almighty, addressing people, says: Know that whatever is in the heavens and the earth all belongs to Allah. Since there is no other god besides Allah, Allah Almighty, who brought all these perfections from nothing into being and is their absolute Creator and Owner, is of course the Owner of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. This universe – since Allah Almighty created the heavens and the earth and what is between them, His being aware of every atom of them He makes known to us. So vast and beyond our minds in greatness are the created heavens and earth and what is between them; their states and movements Allah Almighty (?), and, securing the order of the unity He established, He is aware of them.

Besides this, His knowing the states of those living in the greatest world of the people He created is like nothing next to these creations of His. In this respect He says: He knows well what path you are on. Because all souls made the covenant with Allah Almighty at the address "Elestü bi Rabbiküm", Allah, who gives people their wishes as their destiny, is the One who knows very well what these people will do, what they hide in their hearts and which path they will follow. In a verse He also says: We know the secrets of your hearts, it says. What you need, which is in the most hidden corner of your heart and you are unaware of, We know that too, it says.

Our knowledge of that, too, is taken away. According to the verse "All these souls shall taste death", surely in the realm of the hereafter Allah Almighty will resurrect people. He will hold their bodies as witnesses against their souls and call people to account.

The good and kind deeds people did in the world – just as Allah Almighty informs them of these, our bodies too, as witnesses against our souls, will come forward. If we recorded what a person does with a camera, and displayed this camera on a television screen and watched it, we would learn what the person filmed by the camera did. Just as Allah Almighty informs people of what they did, Allah Almighty is able to freeze the rays our forms give off and, like this camera, display them to us. Therefore no soul – without objection, when Allah informs people of what they did – people will not be able to blame Allah Almighty or say: I did not commit this crime.

A photographer takes my picture. Instantly a light, a I mean, with the shutter in that light opening and closing for an instant, the ray reflected by my form falls onto that paper exactly. It shows my face there. So if these forms of ours reflect (?), our Lord is able to freeze it too. He shows this world to us just as it was. We have no way out.

We have no way out anywhere. Every evil we do, every filth we do, every good we do will confront us in the realm of the hereafter. Big and small. Whatever was done. But here pay close attention. But if a person, as I said a moment ago – "I went through a period of ignorance, my Lord, I didn't know, I made a mistake. I was wrong. From now on I will not depart from Your path, I will not compromise Your command, I will not step outside Your command," he says. If he arranges his life accordingly, Allah Almighty, in the realm of the hereafter, will show what he did only to him and cover it. And He gives him great ranks.

Yes. And if you attain a good rank, in the realm of the hereafter you will meet the smiling face of our Lord.

They tell me: he described Allah Almighty with attributes, "a smiling face – does Allah have a face?" they say; don't they say that? Well, Allah Almighty

in the verse: do they have hands that hold, tongues that speak, eyes that see, or feet that walk? He says. For whom does He say it? He says it about their idols.

That's one. In the verse, Allah Almighty – as the Prophet was descending from the Mi'raj – he rose once more in his true form. They say Gabriel. Gabriel, in his true form, once more rose – the verse that says: then that which covered the Sidrah covered it. Gabriel, who said "had I gone one step beyond the Sidrah I would have burned" – how will he cover the Sidrah? How is this going to be Gabriel? So when it says he rose once more in his true form, which form is this? The form in which He appeared to people at the address "Elestü bi Rabbiküm". In the form of the Essence. Yes.

Let's close these matters. Let everyone go along in his own world.

Yes. Allah Almighty knows everything fully. Because Allah is free from all deficient attributes. There is nothing that Allah does not know. Allah is All-Knowing and the Owner of judgment.

In a verse Allah Almighty also says this: However you imagine Me, I am that. That is, I am as My servant thinks of Me, He says.

(?) I said Allah Almighty is like this, in human form.

When He says "I am as My servant thinks of Me", He also takes on human form. Just as He appeared in the form of fire.

Yes. But believe this: the universal spirit is Allah Almighty, the part is us. The universal attribute is Allah Almighty, and in the partial attribute it is us. In that case man is a part of his Lord. (?). In that case, to his Lord
