There are many proofs in the heavens and the earth that they encounter, but they turn away.
Tafsir
Allah (swt) has sent Prophets and Books for people to know their Lord of their own volition. Allah (swt) has created everything with knowledge in order to introduce His Essence and to show His existence to people. Within the power of this knowledge, He makes every rational person prove His existence. However, despite seeing these proofs, these people, out of their arrogance and hatred towards Allah (swt), attribute these events to the nature created by Allah (swt). It is as if nature has life and life, as well as intellect and knowledge, and after creating these worlds, it lost its intellect and became unaware of itself and turned into these self-conscious living and non-living things, which we call nature in the order it has established. Well, if you say to people who attribute such events to nature; Nature created these worlds, the people who attribute them to nature themselves do not believe what they say. They look at those who say this as unintelligent. So what are you saying? Is this a natural phenomenon? When you say that these events are a law created by nature and established by it, are you not saying these things in order to deny Allah and to dislike and distance yourself from Him?
If they keep these events, which are created by the power and knowledge of Allah, away from Allah, hide the truth, and say that they are natural events according to their minds out of their enmity against Allah and His Prophets, these people are deceiving themselves in their knowledge, and they are sitting on baseless foundations. Do they not know that the rocks or masses in the heavens, which we call stars, do not touch other stars, that the sun, the moon and the earth revolve around their axes, that the earth and the moon revolve around the sun to create the seasons, that night and day are formed, that when the creation of human beings and other created beings is examined, they do not know that Allah is the force that creates the duties of the cells and the inconceivable harmony of these cells while they are performing their duties? They know very well. Despite knowing these things, these people who do not believe in Allah and the Hereafter, because of their arrogance and hatred towards Allah, do not want to turn to Him, attributing to Allah His creation out of nothing and the many miracles He has shown to people with His knowledge. So they ignore them and turn their faces away.
What is said in the video
In Surah Yusuf, verse 105, too: How many proofs there are in the heavens and on earth, and they pass by these proofs turning their faces away. How many proofs there are in the heavens and on earth. For example, the proofs in the heavens. Proofs: the system of sun, moon and earth above all, suspended in space, the earth, the sun, the moon, in the void, turn around their own axes, and if a lunar system comes about, a moon system comes about, if they have not turned at random, if night and day have come about, if the seasons have come about, if so many stars were surely not created in vain, is this a proof that they were created by a power? Of course it is a proof.
The things created in the sky.
We are explaining as far as our eyes can see. Not the others; the others go further into (?). But we will make do with the eyes, with what is seen. A proof: what proofs there are in the heavens and on earth, it says. On earth, too, all creatures have been created.
These created beings are programmed for the duties they will do. Without knowing anything, whether an animal is born or hatches from an egg, it knows very well on its own what to do. For example, a turtle comes and leaves its eggs on the beach; from there the young that hatch from the eggs go straight to the sea, and who programmed you, you go to the place where your mother is.
Yes, in the ocean, in those seas you find your way and go. What is this like? All creatures know very well the duty they are to do. Everything is equipped with knowledge. With knowledge. Within this knowledge, no person of sound mind can say there is no Allah.
How many proofs there are in the heavens and on earth, and they pass by these proofs turning their faces away. Allah Almighty sent prophets and books so that people would know their Lord of their own will. and besides making Himself known, to show His existence to people, He created everything with knowledge.
Within this power of knowledge, He has His existence proven to everyone with a mind. Yet these people, although they see these proofs, out of hatred and arrogance toward Allah Almighty, attribute these events to nature, which Allah created. As if nature had soul and life, and a mind besides, and was equipped with knowledge, then, after creating these worlds, lost its mind and, unaware of itself, turning into the order it had set up, which we call nature, became these living or lifeless things unaware of themselves. Well, if you said to people who attribute such events to nature that nature created these worlds, the very people who attribute them to nature do not believe what they say.
And they look on whoever says it as mindless. Well, what is it you are saying? Is this a natural event? By saying that these events are created by nature and are a law it has set up, you say these words in order to deny Allah and to distance yourself from Him by saying "who is Allah", do you not? So these events created by Allah's power and knowledge, if they keep them away from Allah, hide the truths, and out of enmity toward Allah and His prophets say, by their own reasoning, that they are natural events, then these people, deceived by the science they practise, have sat down on a baseless doctrine.
So: the rocks or masses we call stars, standing in the void in the heavens, not touching other stars; the sun, moon and earth turning around their own axes; the seasons arising from the earth and moon turning around the sun; night and day forming; when the creation of man and the other created beings is examined, the duties of the cells, and, while these cells do their duties, the power that brings about their unimaginable harmony being Allah, do they not know this? They know it very well. Although they know these things, these people who do not believe in Allah, out of their arrogance and hatred toward Allah, Allah's creating from nothing and, through knowledge, the many miracles He has shown people, such people do not want to attribute to Allah and turn to Him. For this reason, they pretend not to see and turn their faces away and go.
So Allah Almighty, since He knows this, what does He say to them? What does He say to them? How many proofs there are in the heavens and on earth, and they pass by these proofs turning their faces away, He says. Yes.
