Tafsir
Allah, who has created all these worlds out of nothing, by making all the living and non-living, magnetic and anti-magnetic substances He has created chant His Name, He informs us with many verses that there is no other god but Allah, that all these creatures were created by His Name and that He is the sole and absolute power in His property. With this verse, Allah declares that all beings were created by His Essence and that He is the rightful owner of all these creations, and according to the verse that all souls will taste death, these beings will remain with Allah.
So all these creatures have been created to serve human beings. By placing these creatures at the disposal of human beings, the human beings who own these creatures are not the owners of these creatures. They are custodians. In the end, they will hand them over to their owners. The purpose of entrusting these creatures to humans is to fulfill their needs in the world. It is also for these people to hold themselves as witnesses to Allah in their ownership of these creatures created by Allah, whether they observe halal or haram, whether they receive rewards or sins.
(They will only be returned to us.) This means that Allah does not need these beings. The meaning of being returned to Allah, in the first sense, is that when the Day of Judgment breaks, the order of all the worlds will be disrupted and everything will be thrown away. In the end Allah will create again. In the second sense, by declaring that Allah is the absolute power and owner of all these creations, all souls will taste death and only Allah will remain. He declares that no being other than Allah can possess these worlds and says that Allah will inherit them all. Allah inherits the heavens and the earth.
What is said in the video
Surah Maryam, verse 40: The earth and whatever is on it We alone shall inherit. And to Us alone they will be returned.
Now tell me, support the verse with a verse. Look what it says: the earth and whatever is on it We alone shall inherit. And to Us alone they will be returned. Which verse does it support?
The verse that the inheritance of the earths and the heavens belongs to Allah. That the inheritance of the earths and the heavens belongs to Allah Almighty. Every soul shall taste death. The inheritance of the heavens and the earth will remain to Allah. Look how beautiful the verses are. Is anything missing at all? How beautifully they support each other. Every soul shall taste death. And finally you will be returned to Me. In the end, that verse. What does it say? And to Us alone they will be returned. Verse within verse. Yes.
Well done. Good. Good. You have learned, you are learning. Today a scholar who says "I am somebody" truly cannot speak before you. He cannot speak. Yes. Allah, who created all these worlds from nothing, by making all the living and non-living magnetic or antimagnetic matter He created remember His Essence, that besides Allah there is no other god, that all these created things were created by His Essence, that He is the sole and absolute holder of power in His dominion, through many verses He makes known to us.
With this verse, too, Allah declares that beings were created by His Essence and that He is the true owner of all these created things, and that according to the verse "every soul shall taste death" these beings will again remain to Allah.
So all these created things were created to serve people. All these created things. That these created things were placed under people's command does not mean that the people who possess these beings are their owners. When we say all created things here, we mean the world anyway. The world, in the world all created things are at the command of man. According to which verse? In the world all created things are at the command of man. According to which verse? We have made you vicegerents on the earth. Yes. Isn't that so? The counterpart in the verses.
So all these created things, that is, the things created in the world, were created to serve people. That these created things were placed under people's command does not mean that the people who possess these beings are their owners. According to which verse? Or do you own a (?) or a seed of your world? If that were so, you would be given nothing from your world, not so much as a seed (?), it says. So, every soul shall taste death. According to His verse saying the inheritance of the heavens and the earth will remain to Allah, and the beings that Allah Almighty created for us in the world as the world's (?) and placed under our command, we are the trustees of these beings.
You know, you leave something in trust with a trustee, but the trustee is not its owner. Its owner is the one who left it there. So their true owner is the one who created them. So we too treat what that Creator has given us as a trust and use it. Then, then, how did we manage this trust? How did we (?)? Did we betray the owner of the trust? Or did we keep it safe so as to hand it over to its owner? Through our conduct and actions, by earning reward and sin, we prove what kind of person we are.
Yes. How beautiful.
So all these created things were created to serve people. That these created things were placed under people's command does not mean that the people who possess these beings are their owners; they are trustees. In the end they are obliged to hand these trusts over to their owner. The purpose of giving these beings to people as a trust is, in this world, to meet people's needs. And also so that these people, while possessing these beings Allah created, by heeding or not heeding the lawful or the forbidden and so earning reward or sin, make Allah a witness over themselves. Yes.
They will be sent only to Us.
The purpose of this: Allah has no need of these beings. As for the meaning of their being returned to Allah: in the first sense, when the Hour comes, the order of all the worlds will be broken. Everything will be scattered like carded cotton. In the end Allah will create the worlds again. In the second sense, declaring that He is the absolute power and owner of all these created things, every soul shall taste death. Allah alone will remain eternal. Thus, making known that no being other than Allah can own these worlds, He again decrees that all existence will remain to Allah. The inheritance of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah.
Yes.
