Translation

Allah has sent down water from the sky and Allah has resurrected the land with it after its death. Verily, for a nation that listens, there are lessons in this.

Tafsir

Water is life for living things. Allah (swt) has also created an environment for every living thing He has created. For example, although there is more water in winter, vegetation dries up due to frost and ice. Greenhouses are an exception. Because greenhouses are suitable for the climate in which vegetation can grow, vegetables thrive in them even in winter. Allah (swt) declares that water is the lifeblood that gives life to living things. Allah (swt), who created water and everything else from water, informs people with an example that all this order is in Allah's will and that if He were to remove water, all living things would die. By showing people that in winter everything freezes, the plants go to sleep, the leaves fall and the nature is dry, and in spring, when the sun warms the earth, Allah (swt) irrigates the earth with rains and revives the dead nature, Allah (swt) shows the might and power of Allah (swt). He publicly shows people that He holds all this order under His mighty sway.

(Surely there is a sign in this for the people who listen). There is a lesson for people who use their minds that this visible natural phenomenon is not a coincidence. By giving people various examples, Allah (swt) informs them that He is the Creator and the Owner of the universe, and that He has bestowed various blessings upon mankind. He wants people to know and obey the Lord in the face of these events and blessings.

What is said in the video

Allah Almighty proves His Essence with many verses. So Allah Almighty, in Surah An-Nahl, verse 65, again, regarding His Essence, from His miracles, and that no power other than Him could attain this, in this verse He gives an example. What does He say? Allah sent down water from the sky and, after its death, with it revived the earth. Surely in this there is a lesson for a people who listen, He says. Now, Allah sent down water from the sky, He says. Is it our doing to heat the waters, evaporate them, raise them to the sky, make them meet the cold layer of air, send them down to earth as rain? Is this our doing? No.

So Allah Almighty, by means of the sun, warms the world and evaporates, evaporates the waters; from lakes, rivers, seas, these streams, the waters that evaporate, as a cloud in the air, when they meet the cold layer, as rain come down to earth, and in that dried-up soil, that which was surely dead, (?) comes to life. So surely in this, too, there is a lesson for a people who listen. That is, one who uses his reason: that a being who possesses this power and strength, that is, a Creator, exists, man knows this, He says; he takes a lesson, He says, a lesson.

What gives life to all living things is water. For every living thing He created, Allah Almighty also created an environment for it to form. For example, in winter, although there is more water, plants, affected by frost and ice, dry up. Greenhouses are the exception. Because greenhouses suit the climate in which plants grow, vegetables come to life there even in winter. Allah Almighty makes known that water is the lifeline that gives life to living things.

Allah Almighty, who created the waters and everything from water, that this whole order is in Allah's will, that if He were to remove water all living things would die, He makes known to people through an example. that in winter everywhere plants go dormant, leaves fall and nature becomes bone-dry, showing people this; with spring and the sun warming everything, Allah Almighty filling the earth with rains and the dead nature reviving, this shows Allah's power and might. That He holds all this (?) under His rule by His power, (?) show people this. Yes.

So Allah Almighty created all these worlds with knowledge, and in the end they will end with knowledge too. That these worlds were inevitably created with knowledge, after showing this to every person of sound mind, such people, such people, serving what kind of reason do they turn their backs on Allah's verses? And apart from these verses, with the whims of their own nafs, as if to challenge Allah, they befriend Satan.

This is not something a person of sound mind would accept. Surely in this there is a lesson for a people who listen. That this natural event seen with the eye cannot be a coincidence, for people who use their reason there is a lesson. Allah Almighty, giving people various examples, makes known that He is the Creator and, as the owner of the universe, has granted people all kinds of blessings.

In the face of these events and blessings, He wants people to know their Lord and to obey their Lord. He has set up such an order that Allah Almighty, He has set up such an order that all people's needs He has brought and placed on earth; people, by producing these plants or living things, meet their own needs. Man eats and drinks in pleasure and enjoyment, never thinks of the One who created this, and that his Creator has shown him favor; never mind not thinking of it, he is even ungrateful, turns his back on Him, and even associates partners with Him. May Allah protect us, yes, that such people can have nothing to do with their humanity nor with the verses; these people think of the whims of their own nafs and, simply following in Satan's footsteps, since Satan, with the sweetness of the selfish desire he gives people, flatters people's nafs, these people compete in following Satan and his footsteps.

Allah Almighty says this in a verse: Let Satan not strip you and leave you stark naked, you know. Yes.

What is discovered in people today, and this, after fully grasping that this discovery is the truth, to you I am explaining it.

In our time people strip stark naked, and whoever goes around more naked, they say exactly this: Wow, how nicely so-and-so dresses. Amazing. Strips stark naked. Their (?), honor and chastity disappear. And this person, envying it, says: how beautifully that person dresses, that is, this. Well, if these people's (?), their honor and chastity disappear, and like animals, indeed in a state lower than animals, they live a life, if these deny their Creator, or even if they do not deny Him, not wanting to hear Allah's name, chasing the whims of their own nafs, turning their backs on Allah, and spend their lives committing a thorough double ingratitude, Allah Almighty says it beautifully in a verse.

If you have no worship, what shall We do with you, He says. So in this case, according to the verse "what shall We do with you", it is for that abode of Hell that these people themselves apply. Yes.
