Al-Anbya 15: Their cries continue, until We turn them into dried harvested crops, burned down fire.

Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 15. Yes, until We turn them into a dried, mown crop, into an extinguished fire, these cries of theirs go on.

Yes.

This is a very deep meaning. Very deep. Until We turn them into a dried, mown crop, an extinguished fire, these cries of theirs go on.

So some, these poor people, because they don't understand the verses: those in hell will one day cease to exist. No. They will not cease to exist. And it says: into a dried, mown crop. Once a crop has been mown, is there still life in it? Until (?), these cries will go on. Allah Almighty says in His verse: these, after many thousands of years of burning, many thousands of years. Now think of the years of the realm of the hereafter. Many thousands of years. If a thousand years here are like one day there, in the realm of the hereafter they will burn for many thousands of years. They will suffer agony.

So there, according to the verse, they neither live nor die.

What was life, we said; we always explain it. Life is a good life. In peace: wealth, property, money, children, family, fortune, right? They are there. This is within life. Those struggling with illnesses, those suffering agony, so to speak, those who want death but cannot die, are they living, then? And think also of the people who come to the fire forever. When they shout, "Destruction, where are you?", where they will never be destroyed again, where there is no death, in such a place. So after these burn for many thousands of years, there they will no longer feel or taste, it says. This verse supports that.

What does it say? Into a dried, mown crop; their nerve senses will now be removed. A dried, mown crop: that dried crop can no longer be nourished from the soil, from its root. No food reaches it and it dries up. It no longer feels its liveliness. So He will remove their nerve senses, they will be turned into a dried, mown crop, an extinguished fire. There they will keep on burning. An extinguished fire burns and burns on. Burns and burns on. Yes. They will no longer feel or taste, it says.

Until that state, these cries go on, it says. Their cries, those screams, those moans, the pains, yes, we say: O people, use your minds, don't say there is no Allah; the universe has one single ruler, an absolute ruler, and that is Allah; who created all these worlds, who gives life to these worlds from the atom to the globe, who, being free of time and space, gives His creatures their provision within time and space, who protects them and gives them life: Allah will one day call us to account.

Say Allah and leave the rest. Say Allah. How beautifully Allah Almighty orders His verses. La ilahe illallah: there is no god but Allah. Muhammeden Resulullah. Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. Have you said it? Then you have affirmed all the prophets too.

Hodja, how can affirming one prophet affirm all the prophets? Ah, let me explain that too. Since all the prophets are from the spirit of the Prophet, by affirming the Prophet (peace be upon him), you also affirm the prophets who are from his spirit. That's the first. Second: when Allah Almighty (?) the first prophets: I will send you to your peoples as great ones, as messengers. Do you accept? When this was said, they all say: We accept.

I too am among those who bear witness with you, says Allah Almighty. According to this verse too, since all the prophets were created from the spirit of the Prophet and he came to the world last as the Seal of the Prophets, whoever pledges allegiance to Muhammad (peace be upon him) and, with the testimony of faith, says La ilahe illallah Muhammeden Resulullah, in the end is saved. In the end. He is saved from the very beginning, too. And saved at the end, too. How is he saved from the very beginning? With good worship of Allah, by bringing one's nafs to perfection, by being governed by Allah's religious rulings, by fleeing the forbidden and turning to the permitted, you go directly to paradise.

Indirectly: if, through the evils of your commanding nafs, your sins have exceeded your good deeds, then there too, in the end, in hell, after suffering your punishment, your (?), you go to paradise. But those who do not say La ilahe illallah Muhammeden Resulullah, let them say La ilahe illallah as much as they like. As long as they do not say Muhammeden Resulullah, they cannot enter paradise. They are destined for hell forever. Because these people who say La ilahe illallah associate partners with Allah. Because they say Allah is the greatest of three. The greatest of three; the other two are Jesus and Mary.

Yes. May Allah protect us. Against these honorable people, who are human too, these honorable, exalted people, they speak slander. So: until We turn them into a dried, mown crop, an extinguished fire, these cries go on, it says. May Allah protect us. May Allah our Lord protect us from such things. All people will be called to account at the Great Tribunal in the realm of the hereafter. Then the people of hell will in hell, by the days of the realm of the hereafter, for many thousands of years suffer punishment and agony. Finally, when they have no strength left, until they become a mown, dried crop or a heap of grass, or until they reach the state of a piece of fire going out and turning to ash, they remain subject to punishment and their cries do not stop.

Since souls are immortal, even if they wish for death in the face of these punishments, they cannot die. But after burning for many thousands of years, as these people turn into this state, Allah Almighty will dull their nerve senses, make them unable to taste or feel, and turn them into a decayed fire about to go out. Yes.
