Hud 108: And those who are joyful, they are in paradise. And those who desire from their Lord, they will stay there eternally as long as the heavens and the earth stay. This is a never-ending blessing.

Yes, as for those who are happy, they are in Paradise. “Except what your Lord wills, as long as the heavens and the earth endure, they too will remain there forever.” Again (?) Allah Almighty, what He wills. Because if the servants are all His servants, if Allah took whom He willed, threw whom He willed into Hell, then, Allah forbid, Allah would have been ascribed an attribute. What does it say here? “Except what your Lord wills, as long as the heavens and the earths endure, they too will remain there forever. These blessings are an endless favor,” it says. That is, He brought whom your Lord willed and put them into Paradise now.

Wasn't the partial will with us? With the deeds we would do, we would then take sins. After proving what kind of person we are, we would pass to the Hereafter. That is, accordingly, with the deeds people undertook, nefs-i emmare, nefs-i levvame, nefs-i mülhime, nefs-i mutmainne, nefs-i raziye, nefs-i marziyye, nefs-i safiye — they would be divided into these parts. Now is it Allah who listens to this? According to people's desires and wishes, the (?) by which people approach their Lord will form, and in the service of love and affection, degree by degree, according to people's covenants, Allah Almighty gives them characters.

Here, from what does he explain the partial will? The person's desire and wi—, the agreement of the partial will with the universal will. (?) Yes. What have we written as the correct version? “As for those who are happy, they are in Paradise. And those who wish from their Lord, and those who wish from their Lord” — that is, wished for where? They wished for Paradise. The others recognized neither Allah, nor the Prophet, nor the sublime Quran that Allah sent. In this case, even if they recognized Allah, they said Allah is three. Or they said Ezra is the son of Allah. They said Jesus is the son of Allah.

They said Mary is His wife. Is there such a God? Is there a God with a wife, a household, children? In this case Allah Almighty, since even those who say “Allah” associated partners with Allah, sent them to the place they deserved, of course. In this case, when one says this and says “La ilahe illallah”, that there is no god but Allah, says “Muhammeden Resulullah”, that Muhammad is His Messenger and servant, when he says the kalima-i shahada, becomes a Muslim and also fulfils the conditions of faith, this man will surely be one of the people of Paradise. The person became one of the people of Paradise by his own will.

And Allah, with the attribute “Eleysallahu bi ahkemi'l-hâkimîn”, Judge of judges, what will He do?

He will admit him (?) to Paradise, which he earned the right to, which He made him heir to. Yes. As for those who are happy, they are in Paradise. And those who wish from their Lord — as long as the heavens and the earth endure, they too will remain there forever. These blessings are an endless favor. From here we also understand this very well.

If Paradise and Hell are eternal and everlasting — even though people in Hell, after burning for many thousands of years, become wood logs there, become fire logs, if He removes their nerve senses and keeps them living there forever unable to taste and feel — then in Paradise too, people, as long as the heavens and the earth endure — since there is no Day of Judgment again in the Hereafter — if they too remain there forever, there is no death for souls.

Yes. So, apart from Allah and the people whom Allah addressed with His Being, all creatures will cease to exist. Only people and the Judge of judges, the Absolute Power, Owner of the worlds and Sovereign of these worlds, Allah, will remain. Together with Him eternal life will be lived in Paradise. In this case, in this case, if we get caught up in the pleasure and enjoyment of the transitory worldly realm — Allah Almighty decrees thus in His verse: do not mind their strutting about in the world; their strutting about in the world is only for a very short time, He says. In this case, the “very short time” He mentions is like an hour, an hour and a half in the Hereafter; if a person lives a life of 60–70 years in the worldly realm,

for a person, within this hour and a half, people's wishing to live outside Allah's commands, getting caught up in (?), whims, (?), arrogance, fame and glory, ego and grandeur — for this one and a half hours, against such (?), buying the punishment of the Hereafter is, for a human mind, something unwise. In this case, however much a person says “I am intelligent”, the intelligent person is the one who knows his Lord. The intelligent person is the one who strives to fulfil his Lord's command as far as his strength allows. The intelligent person, not being free from error, is the one who for the errors he made asks Allah Almighty for pardon and forgiveness.

The intelligent person is the one who thinks of his future and for his future makes preparations. When you say “think of your future”: the world and the Hereafter — as he thinks about the world, he will also think about the Hereafter. So in this case the intelligent person is one who can grasp his responsibility, a person; Allah Almighty will ask him to account for the children, wealth and family He gave him. He will ask him to account for his property and possessions too. Yes, in this case, Allah Almighty addresses man in a verse.

In the address “you”: “Do you never use your reason? Do you never reflect? Do you never think?” In this case man will think, be intelligent, use his reason.

Otherwise, for the transitory world — “How can I swindle Ahmet, how can I (?) Mehmet for my own interest, or what kind of trap can I prepare for this person and take revenge on him” — a person does not become intelligent with such acts. These are events that, within selfish feelings of grudge, through the temptation Satan gives man, drag people into disaster. The intelligent person will be able to spend his future in peace and build up his future. The one who takes his steps accordingly and conducts his affairs accordingly is the intelligent person.

As for those who are happy, they are in Paradise. So the intelligent person has used his reason, fulfilled his Lord's command. In the transitory worldly realm, knowing his responsibility, he approached what Allah Almighty entrusted to him; building up both sides, worldly and otherworldly, he is the person who passed to the Hereafter having earned Allah's pleasure. Yes. They too are in Paradise. And those who wish from their Lord. As long as the heavens and the earth endure, they too will remain there forever. These blessings are an endless favor. Yes.

As for those who are happy, they too are in Paradise. Those who while in the world believed in Allah and the Hereafter, who ruled themselves by Allah's verses, the people who passed to the Hereafter having earned Allah's pleasure are also in Paradise. Except those who wish — that is, those who do not believe in Allah and the Hereafter and who mock Allah's prophets and verses, who by not believing in Allah and the Hereafter wish for Allah's wrath — except these, as long as the heavens and the earth endure, the obedient are eternally people of Paradise. These blessings are an endless favor from Allah.

There, when all the blessings are eaten, they come back into being by themselves in the same way in their place and will not diminish. Because in the realm of Paradise and Hell there is no body. Everything is of light. Therefore fruits, vegetables and all the sustenance Allah bestows are of light. Just as when a part of a person is cut, the human body then repairs the cut place and what was lost returns to its former state, or as, with the explosion of the sun, in place of the atomic particles that are lost it repairs itself by Allah's knowledge and keeps the same mass — so in the realm of the Hereafter, in Paradise too, all the sustenance eaten is Allah's favor, and forever with knowledge He has created the sustenance that will meet people's needs.

Therefore in His verse, “These blessings are an endless favor,” He decrees.
