An-Nahl 21: They are dead, they are not living. And they don’t know when they will be resurrected.

what he does, the two worlds could not do even if they came together. Yes.

They are not alive but dead, He says. And they do not know when they will be resurrected. And they do not know when they will be resurrected. Those idols, or those who declare themselves gods, people like the Pharaohs, or the devils these people worship, the sun and the stars, and many more of Allah's creations are dead things. There is no life in them. What is meant by dead here: just as He would not call lifeless objects dead anyway, of the living, of the beings people worship, Allah Almighty says: these are dead. The dead. In a verse Allah Almighty says: Do not be with the dead. Surely these are not the dead in the graves.

Who are they? Living people whose heart and nafs have not found (?), who have turned their backs on Allah and gone far from their Lord. Their hearts are dead. Do not be with such people, He says. If a person's heart and nafs do not come to life (?), that person does not reach perfection. He cannot be freed from the (?) in his heart. If he cannot reform his nafs, these are the living dead.

In such people there is fame, renown, pride and arrogance. Allah does not love the proud and arrogant. Such people or beings are dead because they cannot know Allah. Because they are unaware of themselves, and they do not know when they will be resurrected. When they will be resurrected. The meaning of resurrection here: in the hereafter Allah will summon the deniers. Even the idols they worshipped, He will make them speak temporarily. Then the idols will vanish. That is when people will wake up. They will know the truth. This awakening is their resurrection. Then they will understand. But there too, out of their stubbornness and their faith, because they are without faith, from the covenants they gave, they will at once return to their old state.

Because even in Hell these people say to Malik: to your Lord say a word, so that the (?) on us is lightened. They cannot say it to our Lord. Allah Almighty, in the verse: If only they had known Me. Here it says: if they had known. If only they had known Me.

That is, if they had known this beforehand, it says. Knowing beforehand has two meanings. This needs to be clarified.

Knowing beforehand means knowing while a person is in worldly life. Had he known beforehand. This, at the address Elestü bi Rabbiküm, when people made their covenant with Allah Almighty, cannot change the covenant he gave Allah Almighty. So whether or not he knew it beforehand in this world is of no use to him. If in the hereafter it meant this beforehand (?), if it meant the address Elestü bi Rabbiküm, then the meaning would fall into place. But in the theology faculties, Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172 — they have shut it away. They never go there. Whoever goes there, they declare a fatalist. Go a little further and they call you a (?), a (?) in religion — that is what they declare.

Because of the Quran, or of humanity's covenant with Allah Almighty, the lifeline is that verse, the lifeline. A second vital side of it: since man, by his own will, made a covenant with Allah Almighty, and his own wishes and desires became his destiny, since his wish became his destiny, they also do away with will. They attribute it to Allah. Then Allah (?) increases a person's kufr. Allah puts whom He wishes, whom He wills, into Paradise, and whom He wills into Hell. He ends up having created man for Hell, many of the jinn and people for Hell. Fitting Allah into their own heads, they make Him a tyrant.

Third: in this case Allah has no knowledge of the future. Great attention is paid to these three points. The expression "it is hoped that" is used. Yet: There is not a single living being to come until Judgment Day whose doings We would not know — they bury that verse, they do not go there. So in this case, people who study theology and graduate from there graduate on superstitions, on (?) superstition — I won't call it knowledge — on words they graduate. And then, go ahead and expect good from them. The root of this must change for the religion of Islam to get back on track. They will learn this root. If Allah Almighty increases a person's kufr, if Allah Almighty puts whom He wills into Paradise and whom He wills into Hell, since there is no deficiency in Allah Almighty, hayrın yara — I will write his good, He says.

Isn't that so? şerren yara — I will write his evil, He says. What writing, then? He will put whom He wills into Hell. Hüseyin, then do you need worship? They draw attention to exactly these points anyway. There is no (?) for your worship. He will anyway put whom He wills into Paradise, whom He wills into Paradise. Yes. Allah will increase a person's kufr. May Allah protect us. Well, where did you hide this verse, blessed one? On the Day of Judgment, it says. At the Great Tribunal, in Allah's presence. Everyone will be paid in full as the recompense of what his own two hands earned, it says. As the recompense of what his own two hands earned.

Is there anything here about Allah Almighty taking away man's will and using His own will?

With half-baked knowledge, thinking themselves scholars, these people who consider themselves scholars, with superstitious knowledge, train students. They train hodjas. And they see so much pride and arrogance in themselves that they consider themselves, in a superhuman knowledge, let us say, to be authorities. Yet they do not know they are buried in (?).
