Ta-Ha 98: Verily, your Lord is only Allah. Allah is the One beside Whom there is no God. Allah’s knowledge has encompassed everything.

Surah Taha, verse 98, we have come to it.

Your god is only Allah, besides whom there is no god. His knowledge encompasses everything. Yes, everything. Some people will look for a deficiency in Allah Almighty, you know, there is a name called "everything". When it says "everything", what is that supposed to mean? What? What does "everything" mean? There are poor people who say this. Sir, when it says "everything", within this "everything", all the created bodies, counting their names, books would not hold it, nor would time. Counting the name of everything. In this case, whatever has been created from the atom to the globe, the seven heavens too, including what is in them, rather than counting their names, what does it call the existence of all of these? Everything.

What does "everything" mean? In the sense of everything created. "Everything" in the sense of the Owner of all beings. Yes.

So it is Allah, besides whom there is no god. That is, La ilaha illallah, there is no god but Allah. His knowledge encompasses everything. That is, all these seven heavens and (?) are surrounded by Allah. All these worlds He created with His power, firmly, that is, solidly. Now, when I say He created them solidly, this question comes to my mind. It comes to your mind too, of course. Since the Doomsday will break out, then He did not create it solidly. Yet Allah Almighty says in the verse: We create what We create firmly. That is, We create solidly. Well then, since the Doomsday will break out, how did He create it solidly? Now, doesn't His word here contradict itself?

Of course, without knowledge, without learning, it seems to contradict itself, so to speak. But what does Allah Almighty say in the continuation of the verse? You will bring it about with your own hands. For example, it says: do not pray. There, in those, look, Allah says: do not pray. But after it, it says: that is, when you are intoxicated, when you are drunk, until you know where the words coming out of your mouth are directed, do not stand for prayer, it says. Yes. Now, how will we bring it about with our own hands? We said it in our earlier lessons too. What do people do to get rid of bad smells?

Sir, they use lotions. When these lotions tore the ozone layer, they were now working for a time to repair the torn places of the ozone layer. Repairing it is not possible either. And people are not going to give up lotions either. In this case, what do people do?

With the lotions they use, they cause the ozone layer to be torn even more. Here, when the sun's ultraviolet rays passed through the ozone layer filtered, they did no harm to the earth. Now, passing through unfiltered, they begin to erase the magnetism at the North Pole. And in this case, with the earth rotating deficiently around its own axis, what does it do? At one point the earth will stop at the zero point, and when it turns back from there, with the earth, left adrift, spinning rapidly around its own axis, the Doomsday will have broken out. Because the seas will close, the earth will hurl out what is inside it, the mountains, it says, will pass like clouds, the sky will flow like molten metal.

So what Allah Almighty created firmly, we will have broken apart with our own hands. Yes, Surah Taha,

verse 98.

Your god is only Allah, besides whom there is no god. His knowledge encompasses everything. Of course, Allah Almighty is the One who brings into being from nothing. When it says His knowledge encompasses everything, we will think like this.

Allah Almighty, who subsists by His essence, before this universe was created, was alone at first. Alone, His essence exists.

Not created by anyone. (?) no being is even His counterpart, subsisting by His essence, existing by Himself, the creation of the worlds He wills, He wills that His essence be known, He begins to create. First, from His light He creates the light of the Prophet, then He gives him from His spirit; from his light He creates these worlds. From his spirit He creates the prophets. From the spirits of the prophets He creates the spirits of the peoples. Now, these worlds, by our Lord, everything from the atom to the globe, apart from our Lord, every- thing is His creation, if it is His creation, surely, when He began to create, whose name would He count, so that "I created this and that" — books would not hold it. In this case, He has encompassed everything.

Everything. So what does it say? His knowledge encompasses everything. Then Moses (peace be upon him) turns to his people: O my people, he says, your god is only Allah, besides whom there is no god. His knowledge encompasses everything, he addresses them. O my people! There is no god but Allah. He is the one who created the earth and the heavens and what is between them. All created beings are Allah's creations and His servants. His creations are neither held equal to Allah, nor, by setting them up as partners and betraying Allah, is slander committed. Allah has encompassed the whole universe with His knowledge.

Allah, of what He created from the atom to the globe, in the earth and the heavens and what is between them, is aware. He is the one who knows what they will do until the time they come to an end. Because Allah created the whole universe according to a program. He is the one who knows what is within these programs. His knowledge has encompassed the universe. Not a single atom can stir and move without His knowledge. Yes.
