Maryam 9: (Allah) Said: “So it is. Your Lord has Said, it is easy upon Me. You were nothing, Yet, I have created you too!”

After this prayer of Zechariah (peace be upon him), Allah Almighty says this to Zechariah (peace be upon him). Allah said: It is so.

That is, if I have willed it, it is so. If I have said it, it is so. Your Lord: it is easy for Me, He says. It is easy for Me. I created you before, when you were nothing, He said. Yes. You were nothing. We were nothing.

We, in the world, not the world, in all the realms we had no name at all. Allah, self-subsisting, (?). He created the light of His intended one, the Prophet. Then He gave him of His spirit. Then from his spirit He created our spirits. So we were nothing before. This is the first meaning. This second meaning: before, you were nothing. To show your outward body in the world, We created the body of Adam (peace be upon him) from earth, He says. We loaded Our spirit into it. We gave it life. We created Eve from his left rib. And We set up the first human factory. After that We joined spirits with bodies and brought you, who were nothing at all, to this state, He says.

Right. Yes.

That is, there is a very deep word here.

Creating is easy for Allah Almighty. Nothing is hard for Him. Because Allah is All-Knowing. For this reason, Allah Almighty's saying to Zechariah (peace be upon him) "It is so" means: in the beginning it was decreed and written this way, it says.

To our mother Mary some, we will say. Those who pass for scholars and, as copies of their (?), have absorbed superstitions into their minds as knowledge send Gabriel (peace be upon him) to Mary. And by the breathing of Gabriel (peace be upon him), Mary becomes pregnant.

Those superstitious ones think so. Whereas when it says holy spirit, the spirit, the universal spirit, is Allah Almighty. Because He gave people of His spirit, He made them honoured above the worlds. The human being honoured above the worlds has an existence in the worlds above even the angels He created from His light. Right. In that case, if it had been the angels created from His light, Gabriel (peace be upon him), He would have said: We sent you Our light. But He says: We sent you Our Spirit. We sent the Holy Spirit. perfectly complete, it says, he appeared in human form, it says. At the address "Elest-i bi Rabbiküm" too, it was in perfectly complete human form.

Perfectly complete. There, humanity was divided into classes. Out of pride and arrogance, he could not recognize the perfectly complete Creator before him as Allah. Could not recognize Him as Lord; he denied. He waited for the Lord he imagined in himself, that he himself imagined. For that reason he turned to denial. Yes. Mary speaks of her own self.

How can I have a child when no human hand has touched me? It is so, He says to her too. It is easy for your Lord, He says. What are you saying? Yes. It is easy for your Lord, He says.

Okay. Okay. Like this. Let's say it now. Let's say now the Hodja has gone astray. Let's say we have gone astray. From what? According to the verse. Let's put it this way. Wasn't Allah outwardly invisible? we will say. If you understand the verse that way by your own reason, Allah is outwardly invisible. But now if I explain the verse to you correctly, look how Allah is seen, you too will grasp it.

Which surah, I can't remember now.

Sees, grasps, grasps, cannot see. Surah Al-An'am, 103. Surah Al-An'am, verse 103. Verse 103. Let's see now. Give me the Holy Quran. Give it.

Surah Al-An'am, Surah Al-An'am, here we are. Yes.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Lâ tüdrikühü'l-ebsâru ve hüve yüdrikü'l-ebsâra ve hüve el-Latîfü'l-Habîr. Right. Look. How have they (?)? Eyes do not see Him.

Well, if they don't see, if eyes don't see Him, did we make a covenant with one who does not see?

Ah, Moses too says He was not seen. Well of course he cannot see; you cannot see outwardly. In the worldly realm, what does Allah Almighty say? We sent you to a hidden realm. That is, a realm where His being will not be seen, that is, hidden, will not be known. A hidden realm. Now they speak of a hidden imam. A hidden imam from the seventh (?). That is, is this a man unknown, unknowable, unseen? An unknown person. How will he be unknown? He will have no outward knowledge, it says. He will have no Arabic. He will have none of it. They will not believe (?) either, it says. What happened now? He became an unseen imam.

So is he not seen? He is seen. Does he not explain? He explains. Moses too wants to see with his own eyes on the mountain. Whereas it is an unseen realm; seeing is not possible. This is where people confuse things. Well, did the Prophet not see in (?)? By Allah he saw, by Allah he saw. With what? Not in the world; he went out, he left. He left the world. An unseen realm to the worldly realm. if you see Him you cannot grasp Him; He grasps, you cannot see there is a verse; well, if with your half-baked knowledge you mix the verses up with one another, you are like a bird flying with one wing; then he comes out as a scholar, he changes His word, and he cannot change it, it is written like this in the book, he says; that is, the person has mortgaged his mind to other people's books and to Western people is trying to explain.

Western. You must be a source. A source.

You will take from your Lord.

İllallah. Then, after you have trained yourself, you will explain.

İllallah. If you don't know, you will learn as soon as possible.

Allah said: It is so. My Lord, it is easy for Me. Before, when you were nothing, I had created you, He said.

I think we have opened this up. We continue. If Allah wills.

Yes.

Creating is easy for Allah Almighty. Nothing is hard for Him. Because Allah is All-Knowing. For this reason, Allah Almighty's saying to Zechariah (peace be upon him) "It is so" means: as it was decreed this way in the beginning, and as the written, the programs written and made, it will take place within the frame of this program. And He says this is easy for Allah. When Allah wills a thing, He says to it: Kun, that is, Be.

(?). But poor people, poor, but people think this is with sound and letter.

Now I have willed. What have I willed?

In Istanbul, sir, I will visit a friend of mine. For example, I have willed it. I set out and go. Is that so? Some time passes in between. Time. And if you say: how can you now compare yourself this way with Allah's knowledge? This world is the hereafter's likeness and shadow. Likeness. Allah Almighty, in His verses, says: We created the world, the realms, in six days. In six days. The earths in two days, the earth. The heavens in two days. And what is between them We created in two days, He says. All of it six days, He says. Not a day of the worldly realm, not the day before the worldly realm was created; if a thousand years of the worldly realm are like one day of the hereafter, by the worldly realm He created it in six thousand years.

What was the aim? It was His saying Kun, Be. He created, made, created with His knowledge. But this is not sound and letter. Imam al-Ghazali, too, puts them to shame. That fool, he says, says: He said Kun, that is, Be, he says, and with sound and letter He created; what is he saying, he says. Yes.

But if you ask people, from their faith of course. Since they know Allah Almighty that way in their own hearts, they have accepted it so. But if everything is conscious and with knowledge, loyalty is greater. Faith is greater. Because people who don't know the origin, Satan, with the temptation he gives a person, or the two-legged human devils, with some misleading information they give those people, can very quickly turn from their views. But if a person has knowledge, neither Satan's temptation nor the confusing words of that two-legged human will avail against that person. Because Allah Almighty, in His verse: to My servant who knows Me, Satan's temptation is for the ignorant, He says.

How beautifully He says it.

If we know the verses well, no one can turn us from our path, or deceive us. Yes.

To Zechariah's (peace be upon him) question "how can I have a male child", Allah Almighty also gives an answer. I created you before, when you were nothing, He said. For this reason, what is meant by "before, you were nothing" is: Zechariah (peace be upon him), when you had not yet put on the garment of a body, We placed your spirit in the mother's womb and, in the form of a body of flesh and bone, We gave you your outward appearance in the world; that is the meaning. To do this is (?) for Allah.
