Al-Furqan 49: So that We would resurrect a place that was dead and so that We would water many animals of Our creation and mankind.

In verse 49 of Surah Al-Furqan: so that We may revive a dead land with it. That is, with water, just as there is no life without water, what does it do? So that We may revive a dead land with it. That is, the dried-up lands, the dried-up lands, well, the dried-up plants on them and those lands where their seeds have fallen, so that We give them life and revive them. And give life to the living beings there, He says. What does He say, so that? Yes. So that We may revive a dead land with it, and of what We have created, many animals and many people We may give to drink, He says. Of His creatures.

Allah Almighty is the possessor of mercy and compassion. He does not intend injustice to His creatures. Therefore, by making all His creatures other than humans and jinn remember His Being, it is to prove to humans and jinn that there is no other god besides Him. Now this verse, this sentence of mine, is the counterpart of this verse: the heavens and the earth, these two and what is between them have known the remembrance of their Lord. So the heavens and the earth, what is between these, stone, soil, tree, animals. Well,

do they do dhikr? Yes. Even if we don't hear it, they are doing dhikr.

Now we will say it with verses, we will explain it. A factory produces a product. A product. It goes and takes out a patent on it. That is, this product belongs to me. Nobody but me can produce it. That is what a patent means. Allah Almighty too has stamped His patent on all His creatures. What is His patent? That they remember His Being. If these created things, all these created beings, living and non-living, had not had Allah Almighty's patent on them, that is, if He had not said: the heavens and the earth, these two and what is between them have known the remembrance of their Lord, it could have come to a person's mind: is there perhaps another god besides Allah, and did he create the other creatures?

In this case the heavens and the earth, the world He calls the seven-layered (?) earth, these two and what is between them have known the remembrance of their Lord. How did they know it? Every substance, the atom of every substance, the nuclei inside the atoms, the plus and minus electrodes give off a sound while spinning around their own axes. Even though we do not hear this sound, each of those objects, while spinning around its own axis, remembers one of the majestic names of our Lord. This is exactly what Allah Almighty means. The neutrons and protons inside these atoms, while spinning around their own axes and giving off that sound, Allah Almighty makes them remember His Being.

Yes.

In this case we said that jinn and humans are exempt, within their free will. Exempt. Why? Allah Almighty has given them their own will into their hands. He wanted Allah Almighty's Being to be known through their will. In this case humans and jinn are in a lofty or a lowly state toward Allah Almighty. That is, the lofty one knows Allah, the lowly one denies. Among people, too, rightists and leftists: that is, those who believe in Allah, and leftists, those who rebel against Allah. now they may ask us a question because of these words. Hey, are you now calling leftists unbelievers? They would say. Right?

Allah Almighty, when Allah Almighty created our souls, the people there were divided into three classes. Into three classes. What does He say in His verse? Ve eshab-ı meymeneti ma eshab-ı meymenet. O rightists, glad tidings to you. The other: Ve eshab-ı meş'emeti ma eshab-ı meş'eme. O leftists, woe to you. In the third sentence: Ve's-sâbikûne's-sâbikûn, ülâike'l-mukarrabûn, fî cennâti'n-naîm. The group of the foremost: the saints, the prophets, the martyrs, the shuhada. Now in this case, if the leftists are non-Muslims, if they are non-Muslims, and these say I am a leftist, then within Islam a person who says I am a leftist lives in that mindset, or unknowingly as a tool, with the leftist's mindset, in that world.

In this case Allah Almighty says in His verse: will you never use your reason? He says. Will you never reflect? Now I would be ashamed to say I am a leftist. I would be embarrassed.

Why embarrassed? Because I fear Allah. In me there is also an attribute of Allah. And I would not consider that attribute deserving of it. That's why I don't even want to be near a leftist. Except for enjoining what is right. Because minds don't agree. When minds don't agree, rather than pushing him into unbelief, rather than pushing him into more rebellion, it is better to leave. There is a hadith of the Prophet. What does it say? Help the scholar, and help the oppressor too. O Messenger of Allah, they say, we understand helping the scholar, but how shall we help the oppressor? Preventing his unbelief is helping him.

Yes.

In this case humans and jinn, whose will is in their own hands, by the deeds they have done are responsible to Allah Almighty, and they too will go to Paradise and Hell. The jinn have no Paradise, but they will go to Hell. Presumably they too will vanish. They too, presumably, after suffering their thing, their punishment, for a while, vanish and be gone. Concerning them, that any will enter an everlasting Paradise, there is nothing. But concerning Iblis there is. He is the preacher of Paradise, it says. He is the preacher of Hell, it says. The preacher of Hell. Yes.

Because He has given humans and jinn their will into their own hands. Therefore He wanted His Being to be known by them through their own will. It is for this reason that He gave humans and jinn the matter of reward and sin. Since Allah Almighty is very kind and merciful toward the creatures He has created, so that they may find life, He provides water with rain from the sky to many animals and people, and relieves both the animals' need for water and the thirst of people. At the same time, for the livelihood of both animals and humans, Allah Almighty gives life to living beings with water, and well, in this way, the sustenance of all His creatures He provides.

(?), kids.

Yes.

I am (?) that.

Had Allah Almighty wished, just as He gave affliction to many lands, He would give the people in some lands afflictions of drought too. He would drive them from their homes and homelands. He would make them live a nomadic life. But out of Allah's mercy, from the lands people are accustomed to, from their homelands, He does not drive them out. On the contrary, even if the people in those lands deny Allah. Since Allah's mercy in the universe is for everyone, He does not leave them without water, and the waters that give them life, both through rain from the air and from the ground through streams and rivers, and through groundwater by means of wells, He offers to people. The mercy of Allah Almighty.

Why? To those who deny Allah, Allah does not say: I am giving you so many blessings, well, and you do not know Me, so I will destroy you right away. What is the reason? The reason: when He brought people into the world, every person: did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you are? According to the verse, when a person made the covenant with Allah Almighty at the address Elestü bi-Rabbiküm, since his wish and desire became his intention, and his intention his destiny, he will come into this world and, until the end of his life, after proving what kind of person he is, he will go. Therefore, even if he utters unbelief, even if he is a murderer, even if he reaches the peak of oppression, He gives him a life until the end of his life, and with the oppression he committed in the (?) of that life he earns the greatest punishment of the Hereafter.

Yes. This, then, is Allah: He will watch over and look after His creatures, both protect them in this world and, by making them stand in awe of His Being, to Allah's Being those who give obedience and worship and will submit to their Lord, Allah Almighty in the Hereafter too will give Paradise and provide a life of eternal bliss yes
