Tafsir

Doomsday has broken. All the creatures have been mixed together and destroyed. Not a single living creature is left in the heavens and the earth and among them. And Allah is left alone again with His Essence. (Huwal awwal wal akhiru wazzahiru wal batin) He is the eternal and the everlasting, the bright and the dark. Allah is the Before, because before He created the worlds, there was no existence other than His Essence. Allah is the Last; after He destroys all His creations, He Himself will exist and He will remain alive behind all His creations. Allah is zahir. He is the Zahir, the one who makes Himself known to all His creatures and proves that He exists. He is the Bathir. He is the one who, after the end of the world and the destruction of all beings, creates the worlds again and declares that He is the owner of the Hereafter. Allah is one. There is no god but Him and He is the absolute owner of His creation. He is the absolute power. It is Allah who rules over everything, who is omnipotent, omniscient.

In such a situation, the blowing of the Sur means that Allah will recreate the worlds and gather people together in the Judgment, which is the gathering place of people. According to the verse (We will resurrect you twice and kill you twice), Allah will resurrect our bodies for the second time in the Hereafter to be a witness against our souls.

The sinners have realized that Allah's promise is true. They have realized that there is an Hereafter and that they will be held to account for their actions in this world and that they are sinners. They will be gathered at the Judgment Day, their eyes bulging out of their sockets out of fear of the calamities they will suffer. The word Zurkan in this verse also means that these criminals will thirst from the heat of the terror of fear. That is, they will be subjected to a heat due to their fear. In this heat, they are not helped with water and they wait in agony without water.

What is said in the video

Surah Ta-Ha, verse 102: Yevme yünfehu fi's-sûri ve yuhşeru'l-mücrimîne ve yevmeizin zurkâ. Now here the word zurkâ means the state of being without water, but it also means the state of fear. Now here, according to the meanings of these words, according to its meaning: on that day the Trumpet is blown, and then We gather the sinners, their eyes from fear, it says. That is in the verse where it says zurkâ. We gather them at the Gathering with eyes deep blue from fear, it says. Now this verse needs to be explained here in a bit more detail. It sounds as if the other people are not gathered when the Trumpet is blown, and only the sinners are gathered.

What does it say? On that day the Trumpet is blown, and then We gather the sinners with eyes deep blue from fear at the Gathering, it says. If it is said: on that day, when the Trumpet is blown, when people are gathered at the Gathering, the sinners' eyes are deep blue, if it is said that from fear they are deep blue, then the verse falls into place. In this way, or if it is said that they are in agony from thirst, the verse also works.

Well, the meaning here: Allah Almighty will bring about the Doomsday of all these outward worlds He has created. That is, Doomsday will come. However long a time passes after this Doomsday has come, Allah Almighty will bring people back to life again in the world of the Hereafter. How will they be revived? What is it in the verse?

When the sky is another sky and the earth another earth, that is, it leads straight on to the world of the Hereafter. When the earth is brought perfectly flat into the middle, that is, into it, when it is set forth, (?), it says. That is, the Trumpet will be blown; with Israfil's Trumpet all people will be revived. So will they be revived with the Trumpet, that is, with one blowing? From that sea on the sixth level called the sir sea, sir, that cell found in people's bodies, a cell that does not die: it neither burns nor rots nor dies nor is lost. This cell — people, down to their fingertips, in the same form, in the same frequencies, will be revived again in the same shapes.

And the souls will likewise find their bodies, each its counterpart, and "when you come before Me with a driver," it says. For example, among billions of people, how will the soul and the nafs, that is, this body, find each other? As we explained before, just as with phones, when we tell something to someone, it goes among these billions of people and finds that person, so by frequency the souls and the body will in the same way find each other. And "when you come before Me with a driver," it says, that is, body and soul with each other, when the paired souls are paired, that is, facing each other in the divine presence, the bodies will bear witness against our souls.

So when the Trumpet is blown and people in the world of the Hereafter are revived, those sinners' eyes, it says, are deep blue as they stand at the Gathering. Doomsday has come. All created things have crashed into one another and perished. Among the created, on earth, in the heavens and between them, not a single living being remains. So Allah is once again alone with His Essence. Hüve'l-evvelü ve'l-âhiru ve'z-zâhiru ve'l-bâtın. He is the First, the Everlasting, the Outward and the Inward. Allah is the First. Because before He created the worlds, there was no being other than His Essence. Allah is the Last. After He has destroyed all that He created, He Himself will still exist, and He will remain living after all His creatures.

Allah is the Outward. Outwardly, through manifestations, He makes Himself known to all His creatures and proves that He exists. He is the Inward. After Doomsday has come and all beings have perished, He creates the worlds again and makes known that He is also the Owner of the world of the Hereafter. The meaning of the Inward: its meaning is the worlds of the Hereafter, the true worlds, that is, the permanent and everlasting worlds. So Allah (?), there is no god other than Him, He is the absolute Owner of His creatures, He is absolute power, who enforces His rule over everything, who is capable of everything, the All-Knowing: that is Allah. In such a situation, then, "it was blown" means: Allah will create the worlds again.

At the Gathering, the place where people assemble, He will revive people and bring them together again. "We revive you twice, We cause you to die twice." According to the verse, Allah Almighty will, a second time in the world of the Hereafter, revive our bodies again, to hold them as witnesses against our souls. The sinners have understood that Allah's promise is true. They have grasped that the world of the Hereafter exists and that they will be called to account for what they did in the world, that they are sinners. In this state, out of fear of the calamities they will meet, with their eyes bulging out of their sockets, they will be gathered at the Gathering.

The word zürkan in this verse also means that these criminals, from the heat of the terror that fear brings, will be thirsty. That is, because of their fear they are exposed to heat. In this heat they are not helped with water, and in a thirsty state they wait together in agony. What will they wait for? First, in the presence of Allah Almighty, the Muslims' account will be settled. Because the Muslims' account is settled first so that they do not suffer much hardship; Allah Almighty, by His attribute of justice, will first settle the accounts of those who serve His Essence. And here, when it is said that the Muslims will be judged first: the nafs has seven states, as you know. Nafs-i emmare, nafs-i levvame, nafs-i mülhime, nafs-i mutmainne, nafs-i raziye, nafs-i marziye, nafs-i safiye.

First the righteous servants, then, in this order, the believing servants, then in mülhime (?), and those in nafs-i emmare will be the last among the Muslims to have their accounts settled. After that the account of the disbelievers will be settled.

So if there is a good deed we can do so that in the world of the Hereafter we go to our places as soon as possible, it is to be, in this world, a servant to Allah Almighty and a member of His Beloved's community.
