Al-Furqan 2: Allah is the One to whom the bounties of the heavens and the earth belong to. And Allah has not begotten any sons. And Allah has no partner in Allah’s bounties. Allah has created everything; Allah determines their destiny (according to their covenant with Allah).

Again, in the second verse of Surah Al-Furqan, Allah Almighty says "Ellezî". Ellezi. That Being who.

Ellezi lehü. Lehü. That Being who subsists by Himself. Yes. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, it says. And He has taken no son. And He has no partner in His dominion. He created everything and determined its destiny. Destiny, that is, all living beings to come until the Day of Judgment, how the days of these worlds will turn until the Day of Judgment – He has programmed it all, and it will turn within that program.

He is such a Being that He is Allah.

He is the Lord. That is, the Creator. The One who brings into being from nothing. The dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah.

He is the One who knows every act of creation in the best way.

Creating is not hard for Allah. Allah has not taken a son. Allah is far above taking children and a wife. Allah is one in His Essence. He has neither a spouse nor an equal.

Nor are there partners to Allah in Allah's dominion. If the heavens and the earth and what is between them had also been created by a second god, one would take what he created and the other what he created, and everything would drown in corruption. So, since the world was founded, in Allah's dominion people have appeared claiming partnership with Allah. Did they not appear? They did. Like the Pharaohs, like the Nimrods. They said, I am god. And some people, by worshipping the idols they made with their own hands, though they associated partners with Allah, all of them vanished in time. But Allah, as the Owner of dominion, because He is everlasting, without beginning or end, constantly guided people, and to bring them to guidance sent books and prophets.

Some followed these books and prophets, some denied; those who persisted in their denial.

And the peoples who went far in transgression, Allah destroyed. In the face of these inescapable truths, that One Allah, since the world was founded and people came to the earth, has constantly been addressing people. Is He addressing them in our time?

His Book remains. His Book remains. How do we know He is there now? Right. Doesn't it occur to you? What if He has left us alone? His verses also say it so beautifully. The scholars are the heirs of the prophets, it says. Scholars. Not people who read the ABC and, with a diploma given by Ahmet or Mehmet, consider themselves scholars.

Believers who have reformed their nafs and risen to tranquillity. Every believer bears witness to the existence of Allah Almighty. Since you believe in the heir, the Prophet, (?) to the believer. O soul at peace – how will it come to be at peace? It will come to be at peace by becoming aware of the divine manifestations. O soul at peace, your Lord pleased with you and you pleased with your Lord, enter among My servants, enter My Paradise – the people to whom He says this.

That's one.

If you want testimony, I am a witness too.

If I am lying, Allah is my guardian. I will tell you with a verse.

When We created the heavens and the earth, We did not take Satan and his companions as witnesses for Ourselves, it says. I am among those taken as witness. I am among those taken as witness. If a prophet must come to you, will He send a prophet from now on? That is how He proves His existence. Every moment. After us too, to those after us, by manifesting Himself, He will prove His existence through scholars. So, like the Pharaohs, like the Nimrods, like the idolaters, like those who worshipped them and vanished – He does not vanish. Look, constantly. Ever since He created the worlds, every moment, His Essence to people, exactly as if He were in this world, He makes known.

He makes them speak.

The One who makes them speak is Allah too.

The One who gives that inspiration is Allah too.

Yes.

Allah Almighty created everything. Allah created seventeen or eighteen worlds, so as to define one another, complete and flawless. Taking His creations under His rule, the sustenance of all of you He is the One who gives them. The sustenance of all of them. Look, to these worlds – He is the giver to all of them.

It is said: as the result of a program.

However Allah Almighty programmed it, that program goes on. if it had been left to people, with the traps they set they would long ago have turned the world upside down. Allah Almighty says in His verse: they set a trap. And We set a trap. We are the best of those who set traps, He says. What does this mean? Those people, outside their destiny,

outside the program of these worlds We created, want to hold sway and create events.

We programmed these worlds. To bring everyone under his own decree, We foil their trap, it says. That is, We bring them within the covenant they gave. So We do not set a trap against the trap they will set and destroy them, it says. We are the best of those who set traps. That is, We do not set traps like them, or like people, and kill people. We feel no grudge toward them. We do not show them enmity. We bring them within their own covenants, it says. How beautiful. Yes. Allah Almighty has determined the destiny of all these creations of His, and every living being or matter whose time has come, after fulfilling its duty – if living, by tasting death, other matter by decaying and turning to earth – comes to an end.

Every being serves man. Man too has a destiny in the material world, that is, a lifespan. When man completes this lifespan, he too tastes death, and until the day he will be resurrected in the realm of the hereafter, their bodies will lie under the earth. Their souls will wait in the realm of barzakh until that day of reckoning.

So the order Allah established is the truth. Whatever Allah promised, whatever He made known, that too is the truth. Allah is the Truth; no created being can be as faithful to its word. So if we want to attain salvation, let us be servants of Allah and the ummah of His Prophet. Let us take the Holy Quran, which will keep us from evil, as our guide. Only then will we have attained salvation. Otherwise we cannot escape Allah's wrath.
