Allah is the unique Creator of the heavens and the earth. How can Allah have children while Allah does not have a spouse? Allah has created everything, and Allah knows everything.
Tafsir
(He is the incomparable Creator of the heavens and the earth.) With this verse, Allah proves to mankind that there is no other Deity besides Himself, and that there is no being equal to Him, so how can He have children?
If there had been a being equal to Allah, if the Prophets and angels whom people attribute crimes to some of the Prophets and associate them with Allah, had been sons or daughters of Allah, they would have been equal to Allah. And since it is even the case that some sons are superior to their fathers, I wonder if these Prophets, whom they attribute crimes to and worship as Allah, had sons of Allah, would these people have been able to kill their Prophets, since they would have been powerful and would not have been able to kill the sons of Allah? Or could they subject them to torment? The people who make such slanders are enemies of Allah and they are looking for beings to associate partners with Allah.
If these were the sons of Allah, since Allah is immortal, His sons would also be immortal. Would they then have attempted to slaughter the people whom they call the sons of Allah? This shows that people in the darkness of shirk cannot comprehend Allah. The fact that they try to kill those who call themselves the sons of their Creator shows how unintelligent and misguided they are. It also shows the extent to which the people who attempted to kill their Prophet by saying that he was the son of Allah were enemies of Allah.
If Allah is the unique Creator of the heavens and the earth (how can He have a child when He has no partner? He created everything), then Allah is the only One who does not need children, He is the only One who is self-subsistent. He is the One who knows everything with the truth. Because Allah, Who created the universe from the mote to the sphere and knows how He created it and for what He created it, and at the same time, by programming all beings to His Essence, He knows the numbers of all the seen and unseen, created substances and the nuclei in their atoms and makes them recite them to His Essence, will surely know everything with the truth.
What is said in the video
We left off at verse 101 of Surah Al-An'am.
Allah Almighty in His verse: He is the matchless Creator of the heavens and the earth. Matchless. Why matchless? Because the art of creating belongs to Allah alone. That is, when we say creating, we mean bringing into being from nothing. Some people say so-and-so created this. Don't fall into disbelief, we say. He made something from nothing, they say. No, he found it from what exists. from what exists.
Yes. For you to be able to create, apart from what Allah Almighty created, you must create a being our Lord did not create, so that you could be one who created.
In this case Allah Almighty says to people: or do you own Our world? If it were so, you would not be given even (?) of a fruit's seed, He says. That is, can you create something apart from what Allah created? If it were so, you would meet your own needs yourself and would not need Me, you are saying. So the sciences found in our time with technology are an invention. An invention. That is, from the materials Allah Almighty brought into being, as far as our Lord has permitted people, with His knowledge, that person making inventions, and the people of future generations, with those inventions, with technology, with their work, will secure their livelihood.
Look what the Prophet says too in such a beautiful hadith: do not put your children into their father's profession, he says. Their father's profession. Put them into newly emerging professions, he says. In this case, then, in the universe, from the atom to the globe, surrounded by Allah's Throne; when our Lord says His Throne, these worlds, of those created within these worlds, none is capable of creating anything. In this case the Creator is matchless. He is one, a single one. Yes.
The matchless Creator. Although He has no consort; and He has no consort. That is, an equal to Him. Now they misunderstand this word consort.
Consort means His equal; it already says so. Although He has no consort, or although He has no equal, how could He have a child? He has no such equal. His equal or consort would at least need to be close to Him, or know what He knows, or possess creation, for someone to be His consort. That is, here consort does not necessarily mean His wife. In this case, if He is the Creator, He needs neither a child nor a wife nor anything else. Because He is the Creator. Like us, created deficient, as wife and husband complete each other, will our Lord complete Himself with a wife, a consort? Allah protect us. And as when we grow old, when we become weak, the children given to us carry us on their backs, as our children carry us on their backs, does Allah too have a family, children, and will He too grow old, and will those children carry Him on their backs?
Allah protect us. In this case He is a matchless Creator, that is, He has no equal. I want to emphasize this point right up front. If Allah Almighty gave people a part of His spirit, man was created as a likeness of his Lord. But he is neither Allah's equal nor a being who is His consort. That is, in knowledge, in technology, in mind, in creating, but he is a likeness. What does it say? Now, He is the matchless Creator of the heavens and the earth. Although He has no consort, how could He have a child? He created everything, and He is the one who knows everything truly. Yes. The one who knows everything truly is Allah Almighty.
Like what, Hodja? He knows it truly.
Just turn your eyes to the heavens, the earth and what is between the two, turn them. And reflect, look. Is there any deficiency or any disorder in any of them?
All these worlds, one after another, symbolize the oneness and togetherness of Allah Almighty. so He is the Creator in truth. Apart from this, just look at the created beings. Each with its own shape according to the duties it will perform, within the separate duties it will do, those created beings were created in the best form, for the duty it will perform, more perfect and more beautiful than that, above that created being, there is no other way of creating; our Lord has laid this before our eyes today. So He creates in truth. In truth. How do you know, Hodja, you now say. In truth. How do you know those animals were created fully, in truth, for the duty they will do?
I mean, did you take on their state now, and the work they will do, or in the work they want to do, do they suffer or not suffer, how would we know, if you say, if you say so, I will remind you of a verse.
When We created these worlds, We did not take Satan and his companions as witnesses for Ourselves, He says. So, since I am one of those who were witnesses, I too bear witness. Now believe it or not. No creature, no creature can be strained in the duty it will perform, and within the duty it performs it cannot say: if it were like this, I would do my duty more comfortably. Because it was created complete and (?). And the secret of its creation, that they are that way, Allah Almighty showed to that generation, to those in nafs-i safiya. That is the secret of secrets.
Just as the prophets said: I am Allah's messenger. I have brought you Allah's true verses; and there were believers and unbelievers, likewise I too, as an heir of the prophets, tell you of the state of nafs-i safiya, of that secret. Whether you believe or not is (?) to you. Yes. And in the verse it says matchless Creator and (?). I am one of those who bear witness to how (?) is.
That is why I am telling it anyway. Yes. He is the matchless Creator of the heavens and the earth. With this verse Allah Almighty, declaring that there is no god but His essence, that no being is equal to Him, by saying how could He have a child, proves to people that there is no other god besides His essence. Yes, had He had a child, that one would be a god too.
And take, for example, a royal dynasty. The son, after him his son takes the father's place. He becomes the king of that state. After him, the other's son takes his place. He runs the state. He becomes the king there. But the sons of that king are members of that state, that is, its owners, as Pharaoh said when, facing Moses, he was defeated before his people: O my people, he says, whose are the flowing rivers? He points to his Nile. Mine. Whose are these lands, he says? Mine. Even if he had a son, that one too would say it. Mine. He cannot say mine. Had Allah Almighty a son, a child, he too would have been a god.
Today, are there not quarrels between father and son? There are. Are there not opposing ideas between father and son? There are. Had Allah too had a son, a child, in time they too would have fallen into opposing ideas, they too would have started to (?) at each other. There would be corruption everywhere.
Yes. Allah Almighty set up such a beautiful order.
If Allah had had a child, I would not want there to be an eternal life in the hereafter either, in the hereafter.
In the world too, I would want my Lord to annihilate me and never raise me again. What is the reason, Hodja? I trust my Lord very much. I have leaned my back on Him. Whatever He does, He will do. Well, what if my Lord, in His compassion, deals with us without His mercy accompanying, and that child of His goes against us, and what if he (?) to his father against us? Would he? He would. What if he goes against us, does not like some side of us and, well, leaves us to punishment, like whom? Like Joseph: when the vizier's wife assaulted Joseph, although Joseph was in the right, he said for a while, for a while let us lock you in prison, he said.
Let us throw you in the dungeon, he said. And for quite a while, not just a report, he stayed in the dungeon. There is a king. There is also his vizier. To silence them. Now, had Allah a child, to please his son He would also punish those there.
Wake up! No one can associate a partner with Allah. No one can say Allah has a family and children. So Allah Almighty, who is self-subsisting, free of deficient attributes, removing the events that would come to people's minds, like mine, as would come to my mind too, as would come to minds: He has neither a child nor a child. He is the Owner of mercy, the Owner of compassion, abundant in forgiveness, our Lord; just lean your (?) on Him. Whatever comes from Him is on our heads. We are people who surrender to Him with our whole self, all that comes from Him surrounding our self, But as long as it is from one hand.
Once there are two, three? Then (?). Yes. That is why He has neither a family nor a child. Isn't that so? Yes. There is no event that does not come to people's minds. It comes. And in this case people fall into suppositions and doubts about Allah. Even though Allah has no family and no child, there are those who call Ezra and Jesus Allah's son and, leaving Allah aside, worship them.
So our Lord is self-subsisting. He has no need of a family or a child. And in this case it proves that there is no god other than His essence. All of it symbolizes tawhid. If there were a being equal to Allah, if some prophets and angels to whom they ascribe guilt and whom they associate as partners were His offspring or child, they would be beings equal to Allah. Even since there are cases where some children are superior to themselves, that is, to their fathers, if these prophets, to whom they ascribe guilt and whom they worship as Allah, were Allah's sons, they would be powerful, and since one could not overpower Allah's sons, would these people have been capable of killing their prophets at all?
Some call the prophets Allah's son; who? Jesus. Who else? Ezra. If these were Allah's son, since Allah is immortal, would they be mortal? Mortal. People who make such slanders do so because of their enmity to Allah, because, associating partners with Allah, they look for beings. Because, associating partners with Allah, they look for beings. Like what? He is hostile to Allah, isn't he. (?), and he knows Allah's son too. Well, so that he can clear his own self, look, this one is Allah's son too, he says, deceiving himself, (?) his own self, a person who without using his mind associates partners with Allah, hoping for (?) from the prophets.
Tomorrow: this was your prophet, wasn't he, or this was your messenger, you came as a messenger, O Jesus, or Ezra (peace be upon him), I worshipped you, I took you as Lord, and you were His self; why did you leave me alone today? He would say that, he would cling to him, if they were Allah's sons. Well, He looks. They too will be called to account. They too. Yes. And they will bear witness about their peoples. In Allah's presence. What did I tell you, he will say, what did I say? Do not worship others than Allah. The people are witnesses too, and Allah is a witness too. Yes. Are you a witness too, Hodja?
I am a witness too. How so? If Allah Almighty made us recite the word of testimony in the unseen, if Allah's words are true, by speaking Allah's verses I speak the truth. The truth. Evidence. As I said a moment ago, when a person says something he will show evidence. In this case, if Allah spoke the truth, I speak Allah's verses. What else will he say? Your Lord who created these worlds is your Lord and my Lord too. My Lord too and your Lord too, they will say. You are a witness too, my Allah, he will say. Yes. In this case that person: I am a human being like you, I am a person like you, if he said Allah is your Lord and my Lord too, if he said so, and to this Allah's verses, if we too are witnesses, if Allah is a witness to this too, if prophets are witnesses to the other prophets, that is, if our Muhammad (peace be upon him) is a witness to the other prophets, if we are witnesses to the other communities; yes, according to the Quranic verses, the Prophet to his prophets, we will be witnesses to the other communities; like this, yes, that prophet said this, and Allah's verses too, look here, today is the day of truth, the court is set up, the supreme court, the hereafter you said did not exist has come forth.
So Allah's promise was true, the verses were true, the prophets were true, the resurrection was true too. In this case you are liars. It will be said, and the prophets will be cleared. Of the community of Muhammad (peace be upon him) and of the righteous people, attaining Allah's mercy, it will be said: into paradise. Purified, it says. But what do these (?) say? These (?) say: at the gate of paradise of these purified ones there is a lake. He will enter the lake, he will enter paradise. Then he will enter paradise. Paradise. Yet he is purified, cleansed of sins. Purified. That is how he understands it.
He will be washed. He must be longing for (?). Longing for a wash. That is how he understands it. Yes, these, had they been Allah's sons, since Allah is immortal, His sons would have been immortal too; would they in this case have tried to kill the people they called Allah's sons? If they are Allah's sons, they (?) Jesus and wanted to crucify him. Allah, that Allah who stands behind His beloved ones, His prophets, and brings them to safety. The commander who entered (?) to crucify him He made resemble Jesus, and He raises Jesus to the first heaven, and the one resembling Jesus is crucified. They could not kill Jesus.
He is still alive. He will do his duty together with the Mahdi. He will come to him as a member of his community. To the Mahdi. Yes.
In this case it shows that people in the darkness of shirk cannot grasp Allah. Because they are in the darkness of shirk. It comes out that they cannot grasp Allah Almighty. He both calls him Allah's son and tries to kill them.
Yes.
With their trying to kill the son of the One who created them, it reveals how mindless and (?) these people are. Moreover, it shows how hostile to Allah are the people who, saying he is Allah's son, try to kill their prophets. Man. Can man be hostile to Allah?
There are such enemies that Allah says it too: aduwwallahi wa aduwwakum, your enemies and the enemies of Allah. Had they not been hostile to Allah, at that stage of Elestü bi-Rabbiküm they would not have been divided into three groups. That is, they would not have been divided into the group of the left. They too know that there is a Lord who created them. They know that there is a god who created them. But before Allah the Creator, because He is in human form, he belittles Him. With the pride and arrogance in his own being, with ego, with grandeur, the Lord in his own imagination he waits for.
In this case he denies Allah, and that is how he (?). That denial, that pride, that arrogance, and with those feelings of grandeur, those characters are engraved into them.
When they come to the material world, they are in the same feelings, the same characters. In this case, is he hostile to Allah or not? Yes.
Think of characters like this.
By the combination of elements, substances come about. Substances: gold, silver, water, earth; chemical substances like these, combining with elements, produce substances like iron, like copper. Characters in people are like this too. As long as those characters are in people, people bring out their own nature. And within that nature Allah Almighty (?) causes. That person, within those causes, befitting his own nature, by acting, earns good deeds and sins. Yes. In this case every person, every person proves what kind of person he is.
Yes.
If Allah is the matchless Creator of the heavens and the earth, although He has no consort, how could He have a child? He created everything. With this verse: Allah, who has no need of family and children, who is self-subsisting, is the One Allah. He is the one who knows everything truly. Because the One who created the universe from the atom to the globe and knows how He created it, what He created and why, who at the same time, programming all beings to His essence, knows the number of all the seen and unseen created substances and of the nuclei within their atoms, and makes them remember His essence, Allah, is certainly the one who knows everything truly.
When there is no being other than Allah, who always knows truly like this, the story of Pharaoh and Satan comes to my mind. Satan comes to Pharaoh's door. He knocks on the door.
Pharaoh, from inside, says who is it. And Satan calls from outside. What kind of god are you, that you did not know who came to your door, he says. How well Satan puts it. Who are you? Come in, he says. He comes in. By Allah, he says, for a god like you, he says, a vizier like me, how well it suits, he says. He is right. For a god like him, a vizier like him, (?), he says. We would be equal to each other, he says. Yes. So, there is no being other than Allah who knows truly. Had He not known truly, His creatures would have suffered oppression. He would have separated them from His essence. He would have been unaware of them.
What does it say? There is not a seed that will come until the Day of Judgment, He says, a seed, that We do not know what it will not do. Of a living being. That We do not know what it will not do. So this world is programmed. Even the atoms. Even the atoms that cannot be seen by the eye. All the substances to come, all of them by their number, have been programmed by Allah. even the dust in the air. The One who is aware of them. So now, if the wet and the dry are in the Quran, are all of them in the Quran, the events you are telling of to this extent? Yes, in the Quran. It is not easy to say, he says, but do you have evidence?
A moment ago you said evidence is required. Of course there is. What does it say? These seas, He says. The seas, if another sea were added, to these seas, if the trees were pens, He says, Allah's words would not run out, He says. The seas, you add another ocean to the oceans, that is, to those seas, you make the trees pens, Allah's words do not run out by writing, He says. So much so; all of it is within it, the Noble Quran equipped with secrets. With secrets. You know some, I will call him a fool. In fact I don't want to insult him; he is human, maybe he is mistaken. He may be bought, which I believe.
He supposedly cracks the code of the Quran. The code of the Quran. Well, supposedly they became privy to some secrets. Who are you? Who are you? You will crack the code of the Quran. So, saying we have cracked the code of the Quran. The Muslims; those Jews, those enemies of religion, enemies of religion, like this, faithful but ignorant Muslims, Muslims, saying he cracked the code of the Quran, yes, so this is in the Quran, look, we did not know, they try to push them out of the religion; these are the schemes of such people.
What is he? A doctor, supposedly. Those given the (?) of doctor before even finishing their doctorate.
Those adopted by certain people, wretched people unaware of themselves. I say it again. May it reach his ear; maybe he will come to his senses. The wretched man is not even aware of himself. The wretched man who sells this world, this world for the hereafter, and leaves his self to eternal punishment. Which code did you find? Show it, then.
The keys of the unseen are in Allah's hand. Do you know what that code you found is? What you cracked as a code. Let me explain it to you. Before the Prophet (peace be upon him) came into the world, the jinn would sit on the constellations and listen to the angels' talk, come back with lies and errors, and tell what they said to the people who followed them. These were called astrologers. Astrologers.
Is there proof of this? There is plenty of proof. Let me tell you two. One of them: how would Pharaoh know that among the Jews a boy would come who would bring you down from your throne? So they kill the boys and leave the girls. How do they know? The jinn there hearing the angels' talk and, to those people called astrologers, those who possess those jinn, well, those possessing the jinn, telling it to those astrologers they possess. Anything else? Allah Almighty (?) says: they, it says, the jinn would rise to the constellations and listen to the angels' talk. But after Muhammad (peace be upon him) graced the world, the jinn say: when we rise to those constellations, now there (?) it says, follows us, (?). Against them, it says, We send a flame.
Some say shooting star. It is not a shooting star. shihab. You know, we call it a shihab. We send a (?) and it falls behind them. When it catches them, it tears them apart. Tears them apart. I have witnessed them being torn apart too. I saw it. One (?), one night, it was the evening, around sunset, like this. I am looking, that star is coming. I mean, (?) as a star slides, you know. It was about to hit the earth. About to hit the hilltop. In that moment it was torn apart. Torn apart. It scattered around exactly like a sparkler. So there it was called to account.
So these, those who say we cracked the code, like this, the jinn giving his heart lies and errors, satanic insinuations we will call them. We cannot call it inspiration. Inspiration is given by Allah. satanic temptations, they may come out right, they may come out wrong. Coincidence, that is. Which of what he has said so far came true? He cracked the code. Show me that you got even one code right. They take them. Who takes these? The media. Which media? People serving dark ambitions. They sit there. They take this one too, put him here. Come on, get up and explain a bit, they say. There he draws something with numbers and (?).
He cracks codes. May Allah guide you. You are a good person. A fine person. By creation, too, you were created very well. As a human being. Turn to Allah, to Allah. Repent. And keep away from those dark services. It pleases your self, but break the grandeur of your self. Break it. Because tomorrow, on the Day of Judgment, you will not bear that punishment. Touch your hand to a candle flame. My advice to you. (?) Touch your hand to a candle flame. If you can bear that, then talk as you like. Talk as you like. You will be able to bear that fire in hell too. But if you cannot bear it, repent and turn back.
Do not follow those people. Do not follow those who have sold themselves, who are hostile to Allah, and for a few pennies of worldly gain have changed their religion, who are enemies of religion; do not follow them. (?) Yes.
So if Allah is the matchless Creator of the heavens and the earth, although He has no consort, how could He have a child? He created everything. With this verse too: Allah, who has no need of family and children, who is self-subsisting, is the One Allah. He is the one who knows everything truly. Because the One who created the universe from the atom to the globe and knows how He created it, for what He created it, who at the same time, programming all beings to His essence, knows the number of all the seen and unseen created substances and of the nuclei within their atoms, and makes them remember His essence, Allah, is certainly the one who knows everything truly.
Yes.
