Ta-Ha 6: Everything in the heavens, on the earth, and what is between them, and what is under the ground, all belongs to Allah.

Surah Ta-Ha, verse 6: Whatever is in the heavens, on the earth and between the two, and what is beneath the soil, all belongs to Him. There is no god besides Him. (?) the verse (?). Every soul shall taste death. The inheritance of the heavens and the earth will remain to Allah. What does the verse say? Are you, from your world, (?) of even something like a sprout's seed? Had it been so, He says, you would be given nothing from your world. A sprout's seed.

Are you able to create even such a thing? If you were able to create that much, He says to you, I would give you nothing from the world; you would create by yourself, you too would be a god. You would take what you yourself created. Then that one would take what he created. And the other would take what he created. Everything would be (?), He says. So if we are not able to create anything, we are only people who, content with what Allah created, make new inventions, new discoveries. And that too: in proportion to the reason Allah Almighty gave us, as far as He permits, do we find its knowledge.

Knowledge, too, will go on being found until the Day of Judgment, and for people new doors of sustenance will be opened. Doors of sustenance. That is why the Prophet (peace be upon him) also says: you, into the newly emerging professions, he says, put your children, he says. Yes.

The heavens and the earth and what is between them, and the treasures of the earth, both above the soil and beneath it, belong to Allah. With these verses, Allah Almighty explains that there is no god besides Him, that all created things were created by Allah, to every person of reason, bringing various examples and similes. But people who do not want to believe in Allah and the Hereafter stubbornly persist in not believing in Allah. They both knowingly deny Allah and, out of their hatred and arrogance, associating partners with Allah, insist on not acknowledging Allah. So, leaving such people no loophole whatsoever, Allah Almighty - making known that besides Himself there is no creator, that in Allah's dominion He holds absolute power, leaving every person free in their own will - man, the destiny he had had written for himself playing out in the realm of mulk, and holding himself witness before Allah - in the realm of the Hereafter, on that Day of Reckoning, man will have no word to say to Allah Almighty.

So Allah Almighty: whatever is in the heavens, on the earth and between the two, and what is beneath the soil, all belongs to Him. That people have no gods besides Allah, He insistently explains to people. In that case, on the Day of Resurrection, on that Day of Reckoning, people will have nothing to hide from Allah.

There is one respect in which all people are mistaken.

That they see themselves like this.

That they think they subsist of flesh and bone. Whereas flesh and bone, the body, providing the soul's visible form, is a mount. If a person knew that he is, first, two - two beings, if he knew he is two beings, he would be even closer to his Lord. For example, a person's car - consider it as his body. You don't leave it outside; you bring it home. Who drives it? The soul. If he knew that this soul is inside that body - that with death it will leave the body and return in spirit to the form in which it was first created, if he only knew - in the first secret of the verse saying 'We will return you to your first form of creation', or let us say, more deeply, in its second, third meaning - that Allah Almighty, who will bring us to life twice and cause us to die twice, upon the bodies will carry out this work - if he knew: the first coming to life in the realm of mulk, the first death also in the realm of mulk, the second coming to life in the realm of the Hereafter, when the trumpet is blown, when we sprout from the ground like plants, when you come before Me with a driver, when our bodies bear witness against our souls, and after the testimony is over, with the second death the body dies - that soul, nafs and life are one, that he and his body are separate beings - if a person knew this, he would not boast of his body and abandon his soul.

Whereas - what the soul is, not valuing the body - they value their body and abandon their soul, poor people.

From which scholar will you learn these things? People who know nothing of themselves. Yes. (?) there is, but what is it, I wonder? So they say. Poor people who say: he even knows about his cat, his dog at home. Those playing the lead role.

Yes.

In that case, on the Day of Resurrection, on that Day of Reckoning, people will have nothing to hide from Allah, we said.
