Al-An'am 53: Some people were tested with some other people (to make them prove their character). Out of their desires, some of them said; “Are these the ones whom Allah has blessed with faith?” (Think!) Isn’t Allah the One Who knows the grateful ones best?

To Surah Al-An'am, verse 53: Some of the people We tested by others, so that they spoke out of their whims. Here: We tested some of the people by others, so that they said this out of their whims: Are these the ones among us whom Allah has favoured with faith? Is Allah not the one who best knows the grateful? it says. Just as it is written here, as it is written here, in this verse exactly — Allah, you know, this answers that, look. This verse answers such people. What does it say? We tested some people by others, so that — see, we are being tested. Some people are tested with some other people.

They said this out of their whims: are these the ones among us whom Allah has favoured with faith? Is Allah not the one who best knows the grateful? it says. Yes.

Surely Allah Almighty sent us this affliction too, Hodja. Let us continue our lesson. God willing, the account of this, as a right of the servant, one by one, judgement, judgement. Here, God willing, we will ask, Hodja, he says. One by one, judgement, court. At the Kübra (?), God willing, we will ask, he says. Yes.

Now the right and the wrong, in the sight of Allah, will be separated. In the sight of Allah. What does it say now? As our child İsrail said, exactly so that our lesson

is understood better, Allah Almighty's creating causes. Listen well. So that the Quran is understood well, Allah Almighty used to create causes. Within those causes people would comprehend those verses better. Now the same verse will come out like this: a deviant, a deviant will appear, and Allah Almighty brings the verse upon him now. So that it is understood better. What does it say? We tested some of the people by others, so that they, out of their whims, said this. Who are they? The deviants. The deviants. What did they say? Are these the ones among us whom Allah has favoured with faith? That is, the people he looks down on?

Is Allah not the one who best knows the grateful? it says — the grateful. So here, people who say Allah, people who say Allah — that insulting that person, and that person making so many people here put up a barrier to knowledge, and in this way, although we opened this site to him, to him although we opened it, his talking like this — and the difference between the two, how beautifully Allah Almighty now proves it to us here. One, outside the truth, by his own desire and wish, on a deviant path, stands against Allah's verses. The other tells the truth. Now this situation is between Allah and us; Allah is witness.

Yes, Allah gives the punishment for this in this world too; in this world and in the hereafter He will give the punishment. Because Allah Almighty, He leaves nothing without recompense. But most people, as if it were inherited from their forefathers, against those who tell the truth say: come on, rain down affliction on me, come on, bring down stones on our heads from the sky. The same words, against those who tell the truth, against people who remove superstitions from religion — this kind of talk shows with what a deviant idea they stand against the truth. Yes. We tested some of the people by others.

The meaning of the test here: Allah Almighty, at Qalu Bala, in the realm of Lahut, while people were spirits, before putting on the garment of the body, with the akl-ı maad He gave as knower of His Essence, with each spirit's partial will in its hand, He wanted it to know its Lord. He wanted its Lord to be known.

The deviants do not know these things. The deviants do not know these things. If they knew, they would fear Allah and obey. We set out to tell people Allah's verses properly. Learn. Learn. Where were you created? In the realm of Lahut. What is this realm of Lahut? The place where spirits were created. Then where is this? Not the mother's womb, look. Not of this world either.

Do you know these places? So what do we say? We tested some of the people by others. The meaning of the test here: Allah Almighty, at Qalu Bala, in the realm of Lahut, while people were spirits, before putting on the garment of the body, as knower of His Essence, with the akl-ı maad He gave, with each spirit's partial will in its hand, that it know its Lord, He wanted. With this partial will, every person — Allah Almighty, who sends them to the realm of possession, closed off to them the covenant people gave; because of this, people's knowing their Lord in the world, or denying Him, is described as a test among people.

How beautiful. A script was written according to our reason there. People will play their script here. If he gave Allah a good covenant, he will accept the truth wherever he hears it. If he gave Allah a rebellious covenant, he will rise in revolt against the truth. What does it say in the verse? They, it says, when they hear the word of truth, become like the clouds in the sky about to burst. So those who, in the face of the word of truth, thus against Allah rebel, in this way rise up against you. It finds its place in the verse. How beautiful, look, here they come face to face. Yes.

So people who denied their Lord before are those who had their destinies written by Allah Almighty as deniers. Their destinies. In proportion to each person's desire, wish and will from Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty wrote for them their own destinies, their wills, as destiny, and in this realm of possession they will live out those destinies. Of course, when there are people like himself, he will take his place at their side, and against those outside himself, outside his own mindset, that is, people who live Islam, he will take a stand. In this case. These people are, properly speaking, people on a mission.

What does he say? He says to the man, he says to Muhsin Paşa: Muhsin Paşa, I will listen to you, I am keeping quiet, he says. He has a fear. What fear? The man has a fear of (?) not being let onto the site. Muhsin Paşa runs it, you see; he has that fear. Why this fear? Now he looks here. How many people are here? If people rise here, these are on a mission. These people are on a mission as enemies of religion. He comes and at once tries to break up everything here, so that these people scatter. Whereas, although He gave a mind that knows everyone will live his own destiny and that knows the right and true, that Allah Almighty — each person according to his own direction (?) — poor people who do not know this.

People like these. They gather to break up this place, you see; they wait for a chance. When a few more come here, the poor ones who step in at once to break up this place, enemies of religion, and people charged by the enemies of religion. They cannot stomach it. They cannot stomach this place. And then to Muhsin Paşa, to Muhsin Paşa, he says: I will be quiet. His fear is being thrown out of here. Not keeping quiet. Yes.

People who are enemies of religion.

So people who denied their Lord before are those who had their destinies written by Allah Almighty as deniers. Those who had their own destinies written by Allah Almighty as deniers — that is who they are. But if you ask such people, such people say: Allah created me this way. Created me this way. That is, people who cannot know, sir, that their own will is in their hands, and who blame Allah,

yes, not knowing how they were created, not knowing how much value was given them as human beings, saying my Lord created me this way and blaming Allah — people; what does it say in the verse?

These, in the verse, have blamed Allah Almighty. What does it say?

Allah has sealed their hearts and their ears, it says. Over their eyes a kind of veil is drawn, and for them in the world and in the hereafter there is a great punishment, it says. Yes. The verse is like that, but its meaning is different. Allah Almighty sealed them, but not by His own desire and wish. By whose? By people's own desire and wish. They had themselves sealed. What is the meaning of Alastu bi-Rabbikum? It is the address: I am your Lord. Then why does He address him? He gave him a good reason with a good will. He wills His Essence to be known by that person's own reason. In this case, if Allah Almighty made class differences among people, just as — we ran into the Masons, you know; they came out with class difference.

Yes. In this case, they themselves, like the Mason difference, meaning people, so that among themselves there is no division — because Allah Almighty is the owner of them all — (?), He addresses them as: your Lord. But out of their own pride and arrogance, because they see Allah as like themselves, because they see Him in human form, they do not believe in Allah; they wait for the Lord of their imagination. In this case they rebel against Allah. In this case, because they do not recognize Allah, over their eyes, it says, a veil, in their ears a plug, and their hearts they had Me seal, it says. They had them sealed. Likewise, what is it here?

With the deeds man does by his own desire and wish — people who lift man's will from him and make Allah Almighty use His own will over man — how well they know Allah's verses, we all witness here. Yes. No one can ascribe attributes to Allah Almighty. That is one. No one can impute a fault to Allah Almighty. That is two. The good deeds and sins man has done through his own actions, no one can pin on Allah.

Nor can they blame Allah.

In this case, those who assess the verses by their own reason, and in that way, with five hundred verses that are wrong, five hundred — and more; we are ashamed. We pass over them by making corrections ourselves. We will bring it out. It will come out soon, God willing. What are we doing? (?) corrections.

So that people learn. Allah will not call anyone to account for a thing He has not made known. If I tell kufr, I am making myself known. If I tell the truth, I am making myself known. If people speak kufr, they make themselves known. If people speak the truth, they too make themselves known. So since He said you will not call anyone to account for a matter you have not made known, these people, of course, with what they say, make themselves witnesses to themselves, to those around and to Allah Almighty.

In this case, if a person uses his reason, if Allah's word is spoken outside the verses, the person will say: Hodja, you told this part wrongly like this. It is wrong according to such-and-such verse. Wrong according to this verse. Otherwise, today, even if you ask the person who knows Arabic best where this verse is, he too cannot easily know. Not easily. Nor can he know which surah it occurs in. He knows the verse, reads it, but cannot know which surah it occurs in. That is why the human mind is not a computer. But he reads the verse, and the verse speaks too. Here — which page, which surah — to set a trap, sir, in front of people, if someone sets out to talk and is disrespectful to the person telling the religion of Islam, rises to the peak of (?) and calls the one who tells the truth a charlatan — who the charlatan is, here Allah is witness, people are witness too.

Yes, people are witness too. Man is man by the actions he does; indeed, by some actions he is lower than an animal, it says. Lower than an animal. Because they are like the four-legged beasts that roam the earth. Why? They, it says, cannot understand the truth. They cannot see the truth. Because in their hearts a kind of — over their eyes a kind of veil, in their ears a plug there is. Their hearts are sealed, it says. They cannot understand the truth. Yes, look, I always say verses, I always say verses, I say nothing from my own head. So, people who denied their Lord before, those who had their destinies written by Allah Almighty as deniers — these people, who come to the realm of possession when the time comes, since they will live their own destinies, their desires and wishes, it is their confirming in the world the words they gave before; we see it. (?) the word they did not give — it is their neglecting it in the world.

These people, in their whims, that is, within their own destinies, with their wishes and desires, say this: Are these the people among us whom Allah has favoured with faith? they say. So this is like that: are you the person Allah inspired? he says. Were Allah's verses left to you? he says. And Allah, I mean, could not find anyone and found a person like you? Who are you, he says — the same words repeat. Here you are: the verses.

The verses.

Because Allah Almighty willed that His Essence be known, by giving people of His spirit He created them close to His Essence. Because of this closeness, people, at the address of their Lord who created them, I am your Lord, hesitating whether it was Him or not, out of the whims of the nafs, their own pride and grandeur, turned to denial. Here, this evening, how beautifully we are doing the lesson of this. Yes, this is how they denied Allah. Otherwise, if Allah had manifested Himself to people in another way, with majesty and awe, which person would not be afraid and could oppose Allah Almighty?

What does it say? Had We willed, We would have created you a single nation, and had We willed again We would have let angels down from the clouds and made you prostrate, it says. So since Allah Almighty Himself granted His own will to man, since He gave partial will to man — people who know nothing of this partial will, people who do not know that people will be called to account for the deeds they themselves do, people who pin everything on Allah, in this way build a building on superstitions. Then when the word of truth is heard, they have no patience left toward the word of truth.

Because Allah Almighty willed that His Essence be known, by giving people of His spirit He created them close to His Essence. Because of this closeness, people, at the address of their Lord who created them, I am your Lord, hesitating whether it was Him or not, out of the whims of the nafs, their own pride and grandeur, turned to denial. This is how they denied Allah. Otherwise, if Allah had manifested Himself to people in another way, with majesty and awe, which person would not be afraid and could oppose Allah Almighty? From this also this meaning emerges: because Allah loves people very much, leaving them alone with their partial will, without preferring in any way and without frightening, like people, being seen by people, He said: I am your Lord.

This, that the value He gave people in His sight cannot be compared with anything, shows.

So where did He, His Essence, appear to us like us? At the address Alastu bi-Rabbikum. When the Prophet ascended in the Miraj, he once more in his true form stood upright, it says. In his true form. Those who know nothing of spirits, who pin the spirit on Gabriel — Sidrat al-Muntaha, beyond which he could not pass one ant's length, on the highest horizon, outside that Sidrat al-Muntaha too, where time and space end, where time and space meet — the Lord, outside time and space, speaking to His Beloved by revelation, they pin on Gabriel — poor people. Because that is how they were brought up.

In their talk, in their telling of the religion of Islam, their aim is their own superstitions to tell people, and with what they tell, with the whim I am a scholar, to (?), (?).

If religion were by people's labels, by labels, by the label people give people,

the Prophet (peace be upon him) (?) would not be a prophet.

He was not raised by anyone. He was raised only by Allah. Yes. In this case, if you want to learn the knowledge of reality, the knowledge of the Quran, reform your nafs, draw near to Allah, in the religion of Islam attain your Lord's compassion, attain His mercy, so that you may see the truth. Otherwise, with a bit of Arabic, with superstitious words, you cannot understand the knowledge of the Quran. Because you did not understand the knowledge of the Quran, you abolished partial will. You ascribed attributes to Allah, (?). Ve lekad zere'nâ li cehenneme kesîran mine'l-cinni ve'l-ins. Truly We created many of the jinn and men for Hell — poor people who in this way are governed by this.

Whereas: truly, Hell, for many of the men and jinn, was created. In this case, people full of knowledge of superstitions, what will they understand of the knowledge of the Quran? At least use your reason. Allah Almighty says so. Do you never use your reason? He says. Do you never reflect? He says. Use your reason. Your reason. I am not telling you anything bad. What am I telling you? Be servants to Allah. You cannot say (?) of this. Reform your nafs. You cannot say (?) of this. Treat people well. You cannot say (?) of this. Try to attain Allah's mercy. You cannot say (?) of this. If, outside of what I say, you can say (?) of this, you will have slandered me.

Here you are. Allah too tells us the same thing with His verses. There is no god but Allah. Do not worship others than Allah. Show respect to Allah's verses. Show respect to His Messenger. Allah says it. Am I telling you anything other than these? If I say anything other than this, warn me. If I say these, watch yourselves. Watch yourselves. Yes.

Yes.

Muhsin says: since I closed it — you, I won't bother with you, he says; he shut him off.

Stop bothering with the man, and watch yourselves, he says. Yes. That is clear now.

And look at this one too, how nicely he says it. The man says: when you see your so-called knowledge has run out before my Hodja's knowledge, (?) (?). Either listen or go away, he says. Yes.

In this case, in this case people really are saying so. We wrote a tafsir too. Look, they see the tafsir, they buy it. They buy the tafsir. They say: Hodja, this is right. Yes. But we are finished, what will we do? Oh dear, he picked this well.

These

are not a good thing.

No one

This place is a place that spreads Allah's knowledge to the whole world. To the whole world. A place that tells the truth. I always say it. I say it again. I say: if I am telling it wrongly, Allah's verses will set me right again. Yes. I am telling the verses, and you saw, before these verses, that your own knowledge was finished, and if you are at a loss what to do before the truth, this is Allah Almighty's pardon and forgiveness. Even polytheists, even unbelievers, when they see the truth and repent, Allah Almighty pardons and forgives them. Turn to the truth. If you are seeking Allah's mercy — Allah's mercy, Allah's mercy, where will you find it?

Not in superstitions. Nor by deifying your nafs. Then you will find Allah's mercy in Allah's word of truth. Wherever you see that word of truth, you will take it. What does the Prophet (peace be upon him) say? Knowledge is your lost property, he says. Wherever you find knowledge, take it, he says. Knowledge is your lost property. Yes.

This too shows that the value He gave people in His sight cannot be compared with anything. Abdul Qadir Gilani says this in his book Sirr al-Asrar: If people had known their place in Allah's sight — La mülke illa yevmeli — today sovereignty is Mine alone, they would say, he says. Yes, people are such precious beings in Allah's sight. Having known these a little like this, let us return to the meaning of the verse. Allah Almighty did not program any spirit according to His own will. No spirit, that is, no person, according to His own will did He program. So, so, if Allah Almighty gave the will properly to man, if He will call man to account for the deeds man does — if for the atom's weight of evil and the atom's weight of good that man has done He will give him reward and sin — how can you say that Allah will put whom He wills into Paradise and whom He wills into Hell?

You tie this to Allah's willing. And just like the Masons, you make Allah make class differences among people. Isn't that how it is? Am I understanding it wrong? If Allah puts whom He wills into Paradise and whom He wills into Hell, does He not discriminate among people? Whereas the living things walking on the earth, it says, the birds flying in the air, so many beings you do not yet know, are Allah's servants, it says. Allah never does injustice among His servants. Where are you hiding these verses? And in this way you say Allah will put whom He wills into Paradise. Whom He wills into Hell, you say.

In fact, it is not in my mind right now. It occurs in a verse; we corrected it. They interpret the verse — it occurs here. They abolish Hell, Hell. With the verses they interpreted they abolish Hell. We corrected them. Now I cannot recall which verse it is, but probably in Al-An'am it will be. I keep notes of them. It is written in my note upstairs. In this case people with this kind of understanding, within that understanding, who set Allah's verses against each other, who deny Allah's verses — do they not contradict this verse? If this were a human fabrication, you would find in it many (?) that do not agree with one another, it says.

Though Allah and His Messenger did not say it, such people will appear, it says, who will say Allah and His Messenger said so, it says. Well, if by Allah's leave I tell you so many hadiths and verses, if I show you Allah's verses as truth, then those who do not know themselves and, in the religion of Islam, in order to abolish the religion of Islam, are charged — people charged to draw people away from the truth, deviants — if they appear, how beautifully Allah Almighty creates causes; in the light of such verses we interpret these like this. Exactly that verse (?) comes.

In this respect, this world, not (?) the likeness and shadow of the hereafter, as the verse says —

yes, we will read a paragraph from above. Having known these places a little like this, let us return to the meaning of the verse. Allah Almighty did not program any spirit according to His own will. He created them all equal. But people, earlier, while they were spirits, by their own desires and wishes had themselves programmed by Allah Almighty. That is why people among one another in this state of test have come to be. So, if everyone has himself programmed by Allah Almighty, and man too, against his Lord's verses, or against being governed by his Lord's verses, people by their own will make themselves witnesses. If Allah Almighty had programmed us, we would be like angels. Because Allah does not will injustice.

Injustice. Because He would not will injustice, if He had programmed us Himself, He, with His mercy, would not have made us people of Hell. But if you say whom He wills to Hell and whom He wills to Paradise, you too, in this way, if you (?) this verse, interpret it so, does it not come out that you have no knowledge of the Quran and that in this way you are governed by superstitions? At least keep quiet and learn. Learn. Knowledge, learning is your lost property, he says. Wherever you find it, take it.

In this respect, this world is the likeness and shadow of the hereafter — according to that verse, if in this world, without anyone pressuring him in any way, man lives his own will, at Qalu Bala too, likewise, man by his own will, without any pressure or coercion on him, had his characters, desires and wishes put into his program by himself. The Prophet said that while a child is in its mother's womb it is known whether it is wretched or God-fearing, he said. Wretched or God-fearing. So Allah, who without any distinction among the spirits creates a part from His Essence — these parts, by their own wills, desires and wishes, wretched or God-fearing become.

Now, while a child is in the mother's womb, it is clear, it says, whether it is wretched or God-fearing — to Allah Almighty. Why? He says it this way.

When Allah Almighty takes that spirit from the realm of barzakh and sends it to the mother's womb, when He sends it, when — according to the burden I (?),

within my characters and my destiny, which person is tested with me, and with which person am I better tested? Our Lord knows this. In this case, the spirit He took from the barzakh — female? Male? Our Lord knows. And these trusts He gave us, so that we are tested by one another, and so that in our lives we best bring forth in one another the events of reward and sin — events, sir — so that we load them onto our backs, our right or our left, as reward or sin, our Lord, the spirits He took from that realm of barzakh, into the mother's womb — He knows. There, is it wretched, is it God-fearing? He knows. What will happen within its destiny, He knows that too.

Yes. So Allah, who without any distinction among the spirits creates a part from His Essence — these parts, by their own wills, (?) and wishes, become wretched or God-fearing. How do they become so? He created in the realm of Lahut and gave them partial will. So, when He said to them I am your Lord, they split into three classes. Ve küntüm ezvâcen selâseh. They split into three classes. Yes.

What does it say? Fe ashâbü'l-meymeneti mâ ashâbü'l-meymeneh. Ve ashâbü'l-meş'emeti mâ ashâbü'l-meş'emeh. Those of the right and those of the left. Then: ve's-sâbikûne's-sâbikûn, ülâike'l-mukarrabûn, fî cennâti'n-naîm. A third group, the group of the foremost. These, these in this way —

people remain (?) in the barzakh. They had their own desires and wishes written for them as destiny, and Allah Almighty sent people to a hidden realm, that is, the realm of possession. Why does Allah Almighty send them to this realm of possession? Why? O people! You saw Me in the realm of the hereafter. Because We gave you a part of Our spirit, because I created you close to My Essence, you, although you knew Me here, rebelled. So that you would not say to Me: my Allah, if You had sent me to a realm where You are not seen, I would have (?) You there — so that you would not say this, We, He says, sent you to a hidden, that is, a realm where My Essence is not seen.

Now, there I made My Essence known to you. But whatever you are, on whatever nature you had yourselves programmed, that is what you are. When you see hardship here: my Allah, send us back again. Look how I will worship You — when you say this,

even if We sent you back not once but several more times, you would do the same thing again. Yes. What is this? Since your characters will not change, again, when you go to that realm, when these places close to you, you will again play the same book of yours. If only you had known Me here. If only. If only you had known when you saw the punishment. Again you served your punishment, but (?). But since your characters in you will not change, even if you saw the punishment there, you would not say: O Malik, tell your Lord to lighten the punishment on us a little. Your intention there: you are waiting for the Lord of your imagination.

That Lord will come, and you will take revenge on Allah who created you. As long as these feelings in you do not change, you become eternal people of Hell. Eternal.

Allah, who creates a part from His Essence — these parts, by their own wills, desires and wishes, become wretched or God-fearing. In the world too, with these states and behaviours, that they are upon the covenants they gave they prove with their speech and conduct. In this state, such people, saying: are these the people among us whom Allah has favoured with faith? — the pride and grandeur with which they made their covenant with Allah earlier, in the realm of possession too,

yes, by putting it into action, what kind of people they are, to themselves, they prove. Looking down on people, bringing out the grandeur and ego in their nafs, according to the covenant they gave before, they make themselves witnesses to themselves and to those around them. Just as we told. People will make themselves witnesses. Because, by this appearing on our site, Allah Almighty makes us live the past. The past. And we understand this: upon the word of truth our Lord says: here are the natures, here are the people, and here is the verse. Here is the verse. Yes.

Is Allah not the one who best knows the grateful? In this case, as we told above, people's traits, desires and wishes — Allah Almighty, who wrote them for them as destiny, their states, of course, He knows better than anyone, even better than the person himself. For this reason Allah is the one who truly knows what He created. Without His knowledge not even an atom can stir in its place.
