Al-An'am 97: Allah is the One Who has created the stars so that you will find your way with them in the darkness of the land and the sea. Verily, for a nation that understands, We have explained the verses in detail.

Allah Almighty in His verses constantly proves His own existence. In this verse too He gives proof of His being. That He is the owner of the worlds, that His power is sufficient for everything, and by immersing us in reflection, by making us use our minds, the majesty of His existence and His greatness He wants to show us. Look what He says: so that you may find your way by them in the darknesses of land and sea, He is the one who created the stars for you. We have indeed explained the verses at length for a people who know, He says.

In the darknesses of the sea and the land. That is, at night people

may lose their way. They may not know which way they are going. Allah Almighty placed stars in the sky. He placed the shepherd's star, He placed the pole star.

In this case people can determine the directions they will go very well.

The spreading out of the earth, the placing of the mountains firmly on the earth, what does He say? Mountains are the pegs of the earth, He says.

So did He drive the mountains into the earth like pegs?

What is the meaning in this? mountains are the pegs of the earth.

Allah Almighty made the undersides of the mountains into water reservoirs. Water reservoirs. Consider the earth round like this, (?). The mountains are the outermost points. And waters are drawn to the outermost points. To the outermost points.

The undersides of the mountains are water reservoirs. As the earth turns on its own axis, its speed per hour, 1666, 1666, it goes on like that, constantly. Turning on its own axis, what does it create? Centrifugal force. Being flung out while turning, centrifugal force. With that force, the changes made on the earth, no matter how violent they are, because that centrifugal force pulls the earth to the edge, outward like this, the changes made on the earth, being less than that centrifugal force, cannot affect the earth.

Allah Almighty created everything with knowledge. That these do not come from human hands, and that, with such knowledge, able to create them, there is no other power besides Allah: this Allah Almighty, to everyone with a mind, proves.

Is there life in these mountains, stones, waters, soils? Did they get smart and say, people will come upon us, come, let's set up this order, so people can live on us?

The heavens and the earth and what is between them have known the remembrance of their Lord, according to the verse, our Lord, with His power, His strength, His knowledge, this universe in this way has laid out. So for every person with a mind, finding no way of escape, the whole order of this universe, which is evidence of Allah's existence, is proof that it was created by our Lord. But the enemies of Allah, your enemies and Allah's enemies, in order to do away with Allah's existence, give some ignorant talks on television. This animal was in this state so many million years ago, then this animal passed from this state to that state.

Even a person would laugh. Even a person laughs at this. How does he laugh? With today's knowledge, through these people's ignorance, how much they are enemies of Allah and that they are unaware of themselves, they prove. Like what? Because they could not change themselves. these animals changed themselves by themselves, and did they, apart from themselves, possessing other selves, change their own existence? Yes. This is how the enemies of Allah prove how absurdly they speak, and, because they are enemies of Allah, unaware even of what they speak, ignorantly and with feelings of the nafs, with words that would make even Satan turn somersaults, how vulgar and base they are.

With their talk. Allah Almighty disgraces and ruins them in this way before His knowledge. Humiliation and baseness will not leave them in this world. And in the hereafter, the greatest torment for them.

Yes.

What does He say? So that you may find your way by them in the darknesses of land and sea, He is the one who created the stars for you. We have indeed explained the verses at length for a people who know, He says.

His saying in the darknesses of land and sea: for people at sea and on land, in the darknesses of night, while traveling or in a state of war, in the plain, in the mountains or in the valley, for units and peoples who lose their way, in these darknesses of the night, if they have no compass in their hands either, since these events will continue until the Last Day, Allah in the heavens, that is, in the skies, has placed stars so that people can find their way. The pole star. The Great Bear or the Little Bear. With the names they give to many stars, like the one they call the morning star, people want to be able to find their way by determining it.

So

Allah Almighty's saying, We have indeed explained the verses at length for a people who know, means making known to people many verses with different meanings, the same events, in a way people can understand; this is the verses being explained at length. Allah Almighty, many events in many ways, so that people can understand, turns this way and that. For example, He says, We fold the night over the day and the day over the night. Mountains are the pegs of the earth, He says. And We created the stars for people to find their way, He says, in the darknesses of the night, He says. That is, He gives every kind of example so that people can understand.

yes, so Allah Almighty's saying, We have indeed explained the verses at length for a people who know, means explaining many verses at length, and making known many verses with different meanings, the same events, to people in a way people can understand; this is the verses being explained at length. In this there are lessons for a people who think and know. What is this lesson? Man will think, of course, he will reflect. He will say these surely didn't happen just like that. Didn't happen just like that.

Look, this world flows on in order, in unity and togetherness. There is surely someone who created these, he says. For a people who think. Yes.

In this there are lessons for peoples who may not be able to think. That none of these created things was created in vain and at random,

that these created things are beyond human power, beyond human power, and so that people, living on these beings they call nature, reflect on Allah who grants them life, Allah, to every person with a mind, has never held back from bringing every kind of example. He brings every kind of example. O human! Facing so many examples, will you still not open your eyes, like a kitten?

Will you still fall asleep?

Or will you stuff a plug in your ear? If I were in your place, I would use my mind. Because the mind was created as the knower of its Lord. So won't you use your mind? Hasn't the time come yet to use your mind? To leave superstitions, to return to Allah's verses, and from those who, with human words, make up an Islam by their own minds and tell it to people, from their words, hasn't the time come to refrain? I... To Allah's verses, to the hadiths of the Messenger, but not to just any hadiths, return to the hadiths that came from the mouth of the Prophet. They are the counterparts of the verses.

Yes. If you say, I will teach Islam in the world, I will be closer to the Truth, I say it for Allah's sake. Use your mind. Refrain from (?). Return to the Truth. Return to yourself. After comparing what it is and where it is, say, am I telling it right or am I telling it wrong? Then start telling people the truth. If you truly know the truth. Yes.

In this respect, We have explained Our verses at length, He says. Allah Almighty here, in one sense, being free of deficient attributes, Allah Almighty, calling out to people: O people, by Allah's divine attribute no person will be able to question Him or put a question to Him, because Allah Almighty, all the questions that could be asked, through His verses to people explaining, bringing examples with every kind of comparison, to people making it clear, with a mosquito or something greater, every kind of comparison We never abstain from bringing, He decrees. In this case, in a way every person can understand according to his mind, if Allah Almighty explained His verses, and you, unable to master your (?), the state of the world that pleases you, if the worship Satan gives your nafs pleases you, if the promises the two-legged taghut made you please you too, if, leaving Allah's verses aside, you go after these, then you wrong your own nafs.

Yes.

In this case Allah Almighty has placed all the responsibility on you.

He has explained to you the question you would ask. He has cut you off from questioning. But if you, from the states of your nafs, from what your nafs likes, from the good things Satan gives that please you, abandoning those good counsels Allah gave you, you, carried away by the traits of your nafs, go after Satan, did you wrong your own nafs, or did Allah punish you?

Think, reflect. Yes.

In this case Allah Almighty, with His verses, places the responsibilities on people. Why does He place them? He left the partial will (?). (?).

And one of the ways they ascribe attributes to Allah: people stripping themselves of their own will: Allah told me so, if Allah had willed He would have made us like this, because Allah willed it He will put us into Paradise or Hell; you removed your own will and ascribed attributes to Allah this way. Then they examine the verses, Allah, Allah: this can't be, such a thing, this says the opposite of what Allah said, they say, and they keep on with superstitions, with what their own nafs likes, they go on. What is it? Allah will supposedly will my entering Paradise or Hell; gentlemen, there is no such thing. Allah does not will my entering Paradise or Hell.

Why does He not will it? He doesn't will it because He left the will to me. It is in my own will. What does He say? If We wished, We would have created you as a single community. Look, (?). If We wished, He says, though. If We wished. So: I created you so honorable that choosing your own place with your own will I left to your will, He says. Yes. In this case, with which willing did you make Allah Almighty (?) and put people into Paradise and Hell, and ascribe attributes to Allah? Won't those people say: why did You put him in Hell, in Paradise, and put me in Hell? Ha, you'll tell me this: because they denied Allah.

Well, in whose hands is denying Allah? Allah made him deny? He denied it himself, he himself. Do you know what the covenant is? Do you know verse 172 of Surah Al-A'raf? Read it well and dive into reflection there. Your matter ended there.
