Translation

The unknown and the secrets (ghayb) of the heavens and the earth only belong to Allah. All deeds will return to Allah. Thus, worship Allah and depend on Allah. Your Lord is aware of what you are doing.

Tafsir

The secret of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. Allah created this universe to complement each other. He created it firm and strong so that the people who will come until the Day of Resurrection will bear witness to Allah by living the covenants they made on earth. What He created and why He created it, these are unseen mysteries in Allah's knowledge, reserved for Him. Since Allah created these worlds with a program, Allah knows what will happen where and how it will happen. And finally, in the end, all creation will return to Allah to prove that there is no other God but Him.

So serve Him and lean on Him alone, for there is no other God but Allah, and to Him all creation will return and give account before Him. For the believer has no friend or helper except Allah. How good is Allah, the Exalted, and how good a support.

Wherever in the universe there is a speck of creation, Allah is aware of it. He is never free from His creations. He is aware of the condition of all creation. So turn to Allah and be with Allah and you will be saved.

What is said in the video

Surah Hud, verse 123: The unseen of the heavens and the earth, its secret, belongs to Allah alone. He created 17,000 worlds.

What did He create, and why? The wisdom belongs to Allah. How did He create these? The secret is Allah's. Yes. The unseen of the heavens and the earth, their secret, belongs to Allah alone. Every matter is returned to Him.

There is not one atom He created that He is unaware of. There is not one atom He created that will not return to Him. Yes.

Every matter is returned to Him. So serve Him and rely on Him. Your Lord is not unaware of what you do. As I explained above a moment ago, you are not left aimless. You came to the world to prove what kind of person you are. You came to prove it. In that case, if you do not turn to your Lord,

if, in the verse where Allah Almighty says "they are like four-legged animals roaming the earth," you fall into the state of the people that verse refers to, if you are human in form but animal in character, if you do not see all these blessings given and turn your back on the One who gave them,

where has your conscience gone? Where have your sense of right and your justice gone? Where has your human dignity gone? Can you think about these things? Yes. Imagine yourself as a boss, a manager.

And you keep giving to the people under you. Constantly. You constantly feed them and give them drink. You constantly feed them and give them drink. You look after them, protect them. And they set about showing you enmity. And they speak ill of you everywhere and deny you.

What would you do in that case?

What would you do? So, in order not to fall into that state, our Lord who feeds us and gives us drink, who created us, who watches over and protects us, the Owner of the worlds — Him we must obey. And to be able to obey Him, first of all we must perform our prayers. We will say the testimony of faith, (?) we will become Muslims. Then we will perform our prayers. Prayer will keep us from evil. We will rule over our nafs. We will not work to fulfil the desire of our nafs. Because the nafs and Satan work together, Satan rules over the nafs. As long as you rule over your nafs, Satan has no power over you.

Yes. "What is the (?) that Satan gives to My servant who knows Me?" says Allah Almighty. The unseen of the heavens and the earth, their secret, belongs to Allah alone; every matter is returned to Him; so serve Him and rely on Him; your Lord is not unaware of what they do; they will have been saved; the secret of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah, because Allah is the Creator; what He created and why, we cannot know; Allah created this universe so that its parts complete one another. So that they complete one another.

Even in the world, the lack of any one being immediately brings about a disturbance of the balance. So Allah, who created even the world as a (?), that is, with cleaning, with beings that make each other clean, Allah Almighty — our Lord knows the unseen and the secret of everything. Why and in what way He created the order of all the worlds like this lies within our Lord's knowledge. So that the people to come until the Day of Judgment, on earth, the covenants they gave, by living up to them, make themselves witnesses before Allah, He created it firm and strong. What did He create, and why? These are in Allah's knowledge.

They are records belonging to Him alone. Since Allah created the worlds by a program, Allah knows where what will come from and how it will be. And finally, in the end, to prove that there is no other god besides Him, all that He created will return to Allah. All created things are under Allah's view. Allah creates nothing in vain, nor does He create anything for nothing. So, since there is no other god besides Allah, and all created things will return to Him and give account in His presence, serve Him and rely only on Allah. Because the believer has, besides Allah, neither a friend nor a helper.

What an excellent Master and what an excellent support Allah is. What do we say? Hasbünallahu ve ni'mel vekil, ni'mel Mevla ve ni'men nasir. What an excellent support, what an excellent friend and what an excellent Master He is. Yes, wherever in the universe, even if it is an atom He created, He is aware of it. He is never unaware of what He created. He knows the state of all created things. So turn to Allah and be with Allah, so that you reach salvation. Otherwise all our states are wretched. Yes.
