An-Nahl 102: Say; “The Rooh al Quds (Holy Spirit – Allah) – has sent it down with truth and justice, so that, they shall be guided to the right path and become Muslims, and receive the glad tidings!”

Again, verse 102 of Surah An-Nahl is also a wrongly rendered verse. Say, we are reading the wrong one. Say, the holy spirit Gabriel, to give steadfastness to those who believe, to guide the Muslims to the right path and to give them glad tidings, sent it down from the presence of your Lord as truth. Whereas: say, it, the Quran, so that they become Muslims and, finding the right path, receive glad tidings, the holy spirit who is your Lord sent down from His own presence as truth. He sent it down from His own presence as truth. Now pay attention. Each of you has been listening to me for a long time.

For a long time. Now here how illogical a statement there is, to you, sir, we will explain. Well, it, the holy spirit: the holy spirit is not Gabriel. Gabriel is not a spirit. Spirit is only in man. This is a mistake. They call this Gabriel.

Gabriel has no spirit. They are created from light. From light. Secondly, what does it say? The holy spirit, that is Gabriel, to give steadfastness to those who believe, to guide the Muslims to the right path, to give them glad tidings, sent it down from the presence of your Lord as truth. From the presence of your Lord as truth he sent it down. Given Gabriel's word, if I went one span further beyond Sidrat al-Muntaha I would burn, did Gabriel, regarding the verse saying he sent it down from your Lord's presence as truth, rise to his Lord's presence and bring this down from the Preserved Tablet?

What is the Night of Qadr? The Night of Qadr is the descent of the Holy Quran all at once from the Preserved Tablet to Sidrat al-Muntaha, to the place called Qadr.

Gabriel (peace be upon him) goes up to this point. From here, as far as Allah Almighty permitted, whichever surah he was to recite to the Prophet, he would take that surah and bring it. They also say this in the sense that he revealed it. Gabriel can never reveal. He would only take the surah, come and recite it to the Prophet, and the Prophet says this in his hadith. Gabriel's recitation pleased me, he says. Now, revelation is only Allah Almighty's revealing, to the heart of His Messenger who is within time and space, the verses. Now, here, if we think with sound reason: to give steadfastness to those who believe, to guide the Muslims to the right path and to give them glad tidings, from the presence of your Lord as truth he sends it down. So Gabriel passed beyond Sidrat al-Muntaha.

He passed beyond Sidrat al-Muntaha. Well, at the Preserved Tablet he rose to his Lord's presence. That is, he recognized no time and space. He went up there. He took it from there, brought it to Sidrat al-Muntaha, and from there to the Prophet, I mean, he began to recite it. Isn't this the meaning? I'll read it again, maybe I am the one mistaken? To give steadfastness to those who believe, to guide the Muslims to the right path and to give them glad tidings, he sent it down from the presence of your Lord as truth. Whereas look what Allah Almighty says. Say, it, the Quran, so that they become Muslims and, finding the right path, receive glad tidings, the holy spirit who is your Lord sent down from His own presence as truth.

From His own presence. From His own presence. No being can rise to His presence. Even the Prophet (peace be upon him), who came as a mercy to the worlds, went to the last point of time and space. He could not go outside time and space. In this case, how can you say that Gabriel sent it down from your Lord's presence? Yes, I mean, if people knew the point at which Allah Almighty made a covenant with these people, if they knew that Allah Almighty is free of deficient attributes, if they knew that beyond Sidrat al-Muntaha Gabriel (peace be upon him) cannot go one span further, if they knew that Gabriel (peace be upon him) is a light and not a spirit, if they knew that the holy spirit is only Allah, would they make these mistakes?

Then they would find the truth. They would find the truth, the right path. (?) they would find the right path. So these people ruled by superstitions, despite hearing the truth, somehow do not want to approach the truth. The reason: because now the knowledge they have read their whole lives is finished. Then what will he do? A bewilderment comes. Instead of bewilderment, learn the truth. Man seeks from the cradle to the grave. He may learn something wrong. As superstition, falsehoods may be accepted as true. But reason is such that every mind is a knower of the truth, since, well, Allah Almighty created reason; when a person, knowing the truth, says I am finished and turns his back on the truth, according to the verse I do not call anyone to account for what I did not make known, if you consider these people, having heard these things, turning their backs on Allah, in the realm of the Hereafter, at that Supreme Court, in the presence of Allah Almighty, what answer will they give, I wonder?

Can you (?) this? Yes. A person's caprice of the nafs, rank and position, well, although he hears the truth, from the path of truth, with the desires of the nafs, with prejudices, like this keep a person back. Yes.

Now we come to our lesson. What are we saying? Say, it, the Quran, so that they become Muslims and, finding the right path, receive glad tidings, the holy spirit who is your Lord sent down from His own presence as truth. Allah Almighty declares that the Holy Quran was sent down by Him personally. By saying the holy spirit, Ruh al-Qudus is the Divine Essence. To give steadfastness to those who believe, to guide the Muslims to the right path and to give them glad tidings, He sent it down from the presence of your Lord as truth. Now, with these wrongly rendered verses, 33 people have written commentaries. 33 of them. All of them, the same words, the same mistakes, using them under their own labels, wrote commentaries to earn worldly gain.

So, on these wrong verses rendered with superstitions, what will come of the commentary a person builds and writes? I am asking. What comes of these? And people don't read commentary. Do you know what they read in commentary? Names, names. They read names. This is so-and-so's name, this so-and-so's, this so-and-so's, this so-and-so's. None of them says, this is the true word of the Truth. None of them has this feeling. There is no let me learn the truth. There is also no let me, well, criticize the person, is he saying right or wrong. I mean without prejudice, though. Without being carried away by the desires of the nafs.

Criticize me too. Criticize me too. I mean, loving me is one thing. Knowing the truth and being with the truth is another. Accepting the words from a person's mouth just because you love the person brings you harm. But while loving the person, if you criticize his words and truly cannot find within the verses anything more correct than him, then, valuing that person's words, and with him, on the path to finding the truth, our unity and togetherness we are obliged to secure. We are obliged to strip ourselves of superstitions. So a person's title and name do not matter; what matters are those who render Allah's verses correctly in the most beautiful way.

Yes. So that it was sent down by Allah Himself and that Ruh al-Qudus is Allah is declared. People attribute this, too, to Gabriel (peace be upon him). Gabriel (peace be upon him) is not Ruh al-Qudus. As (?) he is Gabriel, by name he is Gabriel, and he is called Gabriel. In Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 98, he is written as Gabriel. Allah Almighty did not give Gabriel (peace be upon him) two names. So the whole spirit is Allah. He gave it to people as a part of His Essence. Spirit exists in Allah and, as a part, in man. No one else has a spirit, and Gabriel (peace be upon him) is not Ruh al-Qudus either.

In this case, since man was created honored above the worlds, since he was created the noblest of creatures, had Ruh al- Qudus been Gabriel, how could man be a being above him? Now I am asking you.

I created man honored above the worlds, He says. Why does Allah Almighty say this? Because He gave a part of His spirit. Because He gave of His spirit to no created being, to no created being other than man, because He holds man as the addressee of His Essence, He created man as the noblest of creatures. And I created man in the most beautiful form, He says. So, since He says in the most beautiful form, too, of Me, it is Mine, Allah Almighty, who gave people a part of His forms, held man as the addressee of His Essence and created man as the noblest of creatures, how does He define Gabriel (peace be upon him) as the holy spirit, and, despite making man honored above the worlds, how does He raise Gabriel to an honored station above man?

You do the (?) of this, give me the answer to this. Yes. Now do you understand that people lack knowledge? Now do you understand that people are ruled by superstitions? Do you understand how people who say we have knowledge, I am a scholar, as writers in corners and nooks, as commentators, occupying certain positions, are ruled by superstitions, do you understand? Yes. If I am wrong, say to me: Hodja Efendi, don't insult anyone, you are wrong here, say it to me. Or, if what I say is right, then be with what is right, find the truth; certain people in certain positions, while they should say, yes, this Quran was rendered wrongly, let's correct it, and serve Islam and Allah's religion together, run off to the side and to the corners, they don't make a sound.

They sit there and, within a position, only let their own nafs be flattered. This is a grave burden, a grave burden. It is a grave burden in the sight of Allah. I would never go and sit in a position I am not worthy of. Nor would I ever ask payment for work I am not worthy of. Yes.

So that by Allah Himself it was sent down and that Ruh al-Qudus is Allah is declared. People must link this, too, to Gabriel (peace be upon him), this too to Gabriel (peace be upon him). Gabriel (peace be upon him) is not Ruh al-Qudus. By name he is Gabriel and he is called Gabriel. In Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 98, too, he is written as Gabriel. Allah Almighty did not give Gabriel (peace be upon him) two names. So the whole spirit is Allah. He gave it to people as a part of His Essence. Spirit exists in Allah and, as a part, in man. No one else has a spirit, and Gabriel (peace be upon him) is not Ruh al-Qudus.

They also give the name Ruh al-Qudus to Jesus (peace be upon him) and call him Ruh al-Qudus too. Their aim in saying this is (?): because he is the son of Allah, they describe him as holy spirit, as Ruh al-Qudus. Whereas Ruh al-Qudus is Allah Himself. By revelation from Allah Almighty, the Holy Quran came down to the Prophet (peace be upon him). Because Allah Almighty loves people very much, to guide people and to show them what is right. For people to believe in Allah and the Hereafter, and to give the Muslims the glad tidings of Paradise, He sent the Holy Quran from Himself as truth. The Quran is a Book sent down to all the worlds and all humanity.

The Seal of the Prophets, who came to bring prophethood to an end, Muhammad (peace be upon him), came as ve mâ erselnâke illâ rahmeten li'l- âlemîn. Its meaning is known to all of us. He came as a mercy to all the worlds, to both worlds. Since all the Books, the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel, are gathered in the Quran, and since after the Prophet (peace be upon him) no other prophet will come, Allah Almighty sent Muhammad, whom He sent as the Seal of the Prophets, (peace be upon him) to all of humanity. And the Holy Quran, together with the Prophet (peace be upon him), to all humanity as a source of guidance and before people as a light and a proof He has sent.

Whoever does not believe in the Quran has rebelled against Allah. What Allah says is Islam. No other religion has any validity left. Because Allah gathered the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel in the Quran. With the Quran He invites all people to Islam. Whoever turns his back on Islam, they are people who have turned their backs on Allah, and these are the ones who wrong their own selves. Yes. Who wrong their own selves.
