Ar-Ra'd 5: If you find it strange (that the infidels deny you), what is truly strange is that they say; “Really? Are we going to be resurrected after we become a soil?” They are the ones who deny their Lord. They are the ones who have collars around their necks (on the Day of Judgment). And they are the dwellers of fire. They will remain there eternally.

Translation

If you find it strange (that the infidels deny you), what is truly strange is that they say; “Really? Are we going to be resurrected after we become a soil?” They are the ones who deny their Lord. They are the ones who have collars around their necks (on the Day of Judgment). And they are the dwellers of fire. They will remain there eternally.

Tafsir

Allah (swt) addressed the Prophet (s.a.w.): My Messenger, do you wonder that they belie you. Meaning: In the above-mentioned verses, Allah (swt) has introduced His Essence to mankind in an inescapable way. When the Prophet (PBUH) was surprised that these people recklessly turned their faces away from Allah and His Messenger, despite the fact that no mind can deny Allah (swt), Allah (swt) said to His Messenger, "What is surprising is that they were created out of nothing, out of a drop of water, but today they are openly rebellious and say, 'Shall we be resurrected after death?

Allah, who created all these worlds out of nothing, is able to create again. In one of His verses, He again addresses people (whether it is more difficult to create the first creation or to create what already exists), of course the first creation is difficult. Because there is nothing. That which does not exist is willed and created. Then seeds are taken from that creation to produce these created objects.

There is a cell in the human body that neither burns nor decays. Allah (swt) will resurrect this cell on the Day of Judgment with His knowledge. People will come out of the earth like crops and their souls and bodies will meet in an instant.

(Those are they who disbelieve in their Lord. They are the ones with collars around their necks (on the Day of Resurrection). And they are the inmates of the Fire. They will abide therein forever). These are the people who disbelieve in Allah, who associate partners with Allah and live in pleasure and enjoyment in their worldly life. Allah (swt) calls them disbelieving disbelievers. On the Day of Judgment, they will be dragged into the Fire with collars around their necks. They will have neither a helper nor an intercessor. These are the people of fire of eternal and everlasting life.

May Allah protect us from such a fate and such an end. May Allah (swt) enable us not to be dragged to such fates by being deceived by our nafs and the rosy outlook of the world, by the temptation of the devil, and may Allah (swt) enable us to die as Muslims and be among the righteous servants of Allah (swt).

What is said in the video

I can answer your questions. The 5th verse of Surah Ar-Ra'd: "My Messenger, if you wonder at the unbelievers denying you," it says, the unbelievers, "what is truly to be wondered at is their saying: when we have become dust, will we be created anew?" They deny you, it says. Do you wonder at them, it says. You too know that I sent you as My messenger. That is, you know it. Their denying you is only the (?) of people who, with their own ignorance, wander in their own dark swamps. Do you wonder at these, it says. What is truly to be wondered at is their saying: after we die, after we rot and become dust, will we really be raised again, it says.

Why? This is what is truly to be wondered at. Well, you came into being from nothing. You came into being from nothing. How did you come into being? Is the One who brought you into being not able to create you again? If He brought you from nothing into being, then even if from being you pass into nothing, from the seeds of its continuation He will create you again exactly, down to your fingertips, down to those fingerprints, in the same way.

Now every person has a fingerprint. Every person. Billions of people have fingerprints that do not match one another. Right? Right. No fingerprint is the same as another. In that case, why are these people's fingerprints not the same as one another?

When He created our spirit: they ask you about the spirit. Say: it is a command of my Lord. You cannot speak about the spirit. But the spirit recognizes neither matter nor meaning. Only a little knowledge has been given about it, as He wished, it says. Now we will try to draw something out of that little knowledge. Here. From the spirit. So, if the spirit recognizes neither matter nor meaning, min mâricin min nâr: We created Satan from a smokeless fire, it says. A smokeless fire: His creating within frequencies. So, the spirit being a ray, and the ray producing its own frequency, and with His raising you again with that frequency's fingertip prints in the same way, on the Day of Judgement the bodies and the spirit meet.

"When you come into My presence with a driver," it says. So each spirit gives off a frequency of its own. With this frequency Allah Almighty speaks to people by way of communication. To the prophets by way of revelation. And to scholars He speaks by way of inspiration.

If the frequencies were the same, were the same, then with those frequencies, when other people too tuned to the same radio, tuned to that frequency, just as they listen to other radios, those people too would all, in the same way, the communication our Lord gave to a scholar, that is, the inspiration, all people would hear it. So, if the frequency each person gives off is different, if Allah Almighty, through that frequency, gives knowledge to that person, if He speaks to him with inspiration, then, since down to the fingertips, the prints tied to that frequency will be created the same way in the realm of the Hereafter, on earth too the fingerprints, no one's fingerprint matches anyone else's.

If they matched, it would turn out that two people had been created on the same frequency, or that people had been.

Yes.

The knowledge here is very deep. We'll close this part here. That's enough. Yes. What are we saying? My Messenger, do you wonder at the unbelievers denying you? Yes. What is truly to be wondered at is their saying: when we have become dust, will we be created anew? their saying. How nicely we opened this part up. Their saying. Those are the ones who deny their Lord. That is, that is, it is the verse: they will not be able to see their Lord. They denied Allah, didn't they; since there is no god but Allah, since they await the Lord of their imagination, they will not be able to see their Lord. Verses.

Those are the ones with collars around their necks on the Day of Judgement. Collars. On the Day of Judgement. That is, after their accounts are settled at the Great Court, when they realize they will be pushed into hell, it says, their eyes will bulge out of their sockets like sky blue, they will come to the state of the clouds in the sky cracking, it says. They will throw themselves face down on the ground. And We, it says, will call the keepers of hell and have them thrown in through a narrow gate of hell, it says. May Allah protect us.

In this case, in a temporary worldly realm, consider yourselves like this. You went as a guest to a house you know. As long as you stay in that guesthouse, would you betray that place, that host? If you betray them, you yourselves will be shut out. What do they do? They give you a kick and throw you out on your backside. So this place too is a guesthouse of our Lord. Whoever betrays His commands and prohibitions here, in the realm of the Hereafter too is shut out. Since He says, "My mercy in the universe is for everyone, in the Hereafter only for the believer," if (?) He cuts off His mercy, we are left subject to the torment of hell.

May Allah protect us.

Yes.

Those are the ones with collars around their necks on the Day of Judgement. And they are the people of the fire.

That is, as I said earlier, in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 24, since it says do not head towards the fire prepared for the unbelievers, if the fire is prepared for the unbelievers, if it is prepared for non-Muslims, they are the people of the fire, it says. Look, the verses always support each other nicely, it says. They will remain there forever, it says. Sir, some poor people say: are there verses that one will remain in hell forever? How nicely Satan deceives them. And how nicely his nafs follows him. Because he will wander in the swamp too. He will fulfil the whims of his nafs. And, carried away by the temptation Satan gives him, he will do what he wants.

Whatever he wants. And he says: is there a verse that one will stay in hell forever? Verses, it says. But here it says that there are, in many places.

Satan's amusements.

Allah Almighty, addressing the Prophet (peace be upon him): My Messenger, do you wonder at their denying you?

From this, the meaning: in the verses we explained above, Allah Almighty made Himself known to people inescapably. Although no mind is in a position to deny Allah Almighty, at these people recklessly turning their faces away from Allah and His Messenger, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) wondered, Allah Almighty said to His Beloved: what is truly to be wondered at is that, though they came into being from nothing, though they were created from a drop of despised water, today they suddenly turn into (?) rebels. E ve lem yere'l-insânu ennâ halaknâhu min nutfetin fe izâ huve hasîmun mübîn. He created them, it says, from a despised water.

Ve darabe lenâ meselen ve nesiye halkahû, kâle men yuhyi'l-izâme ve hiye ramîm. Although We created them, today they have suddenly become open, manifest rebels, it says.

At these people recklessly turning their faces away from Allah and His Messenger, when the Prophet wondered, Allah Almighty said to His Beloved: what is truly to be wondered at is that, though they came into being from nothing, though they were created from a drop of despised water, today they suddenly turn into (?) rebels, and their saying, after we die will we be raised again, that is what is to be wondered at. Yes. These are from the verses of Ya-Sin.

(?) Surah, (?) Surah. Yes.

E ve lem yerav ennâ halaknâ lehum mimmâ amilet eydînâ en'âmen fe hum lehâ mâlikûn. Do they not see that, as a work of Our power, We created for them many animals? Thanks to this they have come to own them. Ve zellelnâhâ lehum fe minhâ rakûbuhum ve minhâ ye'kulûn. Not these. E ve lem yere'l-insânu ennâ halaknâhu min nutfetin fe izâ huve hasîmun mübîn. Which verse is it? 77. Does man not see that We created him from a sperm-drop? And then you see he has become an open enemy. He has become an open enemy. Ve darabe lenâ meselen ve nesiye halkahû, kâle men yuhyi'l-izâme ve hiye ramîm. Forgetting his own creation, it says, he tries to bring an example against Us.

You know, he forgets his coming into being when he was not, he forgets his own creation, and against Us he now brings an example, it says. What does he say? These rotted bones? Who? Will raise them, he says, it says. Say: the One who created them the first time will raise them. For He knows every kind of creation very well. He knows every kind of creation very well. The words "For He knows every kind of creation very well" correspond to these verses. (?) (?) When He wills a thing, He says "Kun", "Be", and it is created. If He knows every kind of thing very well, whatever He wills, whatever He wills, His willing is only to say "Kun", that is, "Be", it says.

That is, His creating it. So if He brought man from nothing into being, then after he dies raising him is not hard for Allah. Consider it like this. Allah will create a grain of wheat. Is it harder to create a grain of wheat from nothing? Or, after creating this wheat, to propagate it, is that harder? What are you doing? Coming into being from nothing is hard. After that, once it is planted in the soil, its rotting, sprouting and growing again from the same seed is very easy for Allah. So in our body too there is a cell that does not burn, does not rot, does not get lost. They say it is in the tailbone.

This cell, on the Day of Judgement, the heavens another heaven, it says. And the earths. When it is another earth, the world flat, it says, when it is brought there, from the Sea of Secrets on the sixth level, onto the world water will pour down. Like rain. That is the meaning of its being called the Sea of Secrets: that cell will sprout there, and exactly, the human body will come out again like grass from the ground. In this case they will meet the spirits. "When you come into My presence with a driver," it says, "We silence your mouths, bind your feet, and make your hands speak," it says.

We continue the lesson.

Allah, who brought all these worlds into being from nothing, is able to create again. In one verse, again addressing people: is the first creation harder, or is creating what already exists harder? Of course the first creation is harder. Because there is nothing there. That which does not exist is willed, and it is created. Then, by taking seeds from what was created, these created things are reproduced. So in the human body too there is a cell that neither burns nor rots; on the Day of Judgement Allah Almighty will raise this cell again with His knowledge; people will come out of the ground like crops sprouting, and their spirits and bodies will meet in an instant, but the spirit will not enter the body; if the spirit entered the body, just as in this world, it would make it speak as it wished. "When the souls are paired," that is, when they come face to face, it says; those poor people who do not understand these say, when woman and man come face to face, it says, a solution they give; it is something astonishing; and then they know Arabic, these people, and with Arabic they set about giving meaning to the Quran, according to their own minds.

They are the ones who deny their Lord. They are the ones with collars around their necks on the Day of Judgement, and they are the people of the fire. They will remain there forever. These are people who in their worldly life live in their pleasures and enjoyments, denying Allah, associating partners with Allah. Allah Almighty calls them denying unbelievers. At the (?) Judgement, collars will be put on their necks and they will be dragged to the fire. That is, after their accounts are settled, they will enter hell. In hell these collars will be put on them. There are (?) of iron. Moreover, they will be put into a smokeless fire (?) sparks like camels.

Within 5-6 seconds that body there will become pitch black, like the body of a person electrocuted. Like coal. From there the angel of hell on duty will take him. He will put him outside again. Again within 5-6 seconds that jet-black skin will crack like soil left without water. As brand-new white skin comes out beneath, that person will come to himself. He will begin to writhe. Once the skin has completely fallen off and, like a snake changing its skin, brand-new skin has come out completely beneath, again from there he will be taken. Again he will be put into that fire. This will go on like this. This world is a likeness and shadow of the Hereafter, like a snake changing its skin.

I saw these. Allah, my Lord, showed them. Otherwise it is not possible to understand these things. Those fires, like that (?).

Consider it just like this. You know tunnel mouths, like tunnel mouths, (?), a full circle, inside it reddish pink, the (?) of that fire. That is, consider it like this: like positive and negative electric sparks striking each other and from these sparks things coming out, sparks flying out. Taking him and putting him there, his being roasted there, taking him out again and putting him outside. May Allah protect us. May Allah protect us. Yes. Some say: Hodja, you wrote it as though you had seen it. Of course we saw it and wrote it. Without seeing, what would you write, how would you explain these things?

These are the people of the fire of the eternal and everlasting life. May Allah protect us from such a fate and such an end. That we not be dragged to such fates, deceived by our nafs and the rosy look of the world, by Satan's temptation, that we give up our souls as Muslims, that we enter among Allah's righteous servants: this we (?) from Allah Almighty.
