Al-An'am 102: This is your Lord, Allah! There is no God other than Allah. Allah is the Creator of everything, so, worship only to Allah! And Allah is the protector of everything.

Verse one hundred and two: that, He says, is your Lord, Allah is He. Of course it is so. Allah will be aware of what He created. Allah will guarantee the provision of what He created. Allah will be the Owner of great compassion. He will not intend oppression for what He created. And Allah will show people the way. Allah will hold (?) before people. He will send proofs to bring them to guidance. Because Allah, who is tender and compassionate to what He created, has encompassed all His creatures all around, and to bring them to guidance, since He created man the most honoured and gave his will into his hand, since He does not speak to them, He invites them to His essence, and in the hereafter to them mansions, palaces, vineyards, gardens, places beneath which rivers flow, He promises.

O man, work and give it to Me, He does not say. Look, because He needs nothing. Then why does He promise this? Why did He create me? He was self-subsisting. As a part of Himself, from Himself, He made you honoured, created you, and He was a hidden treasure. He wanted to be known through you. Just say Allah, He says. That is why He created. What are you supposed to say? Say Allah, He says. Say that there is no god but Him, He says. And since it fits the purpose for which I created you, let Me treat you with My mercy, He says. My dear, is this such a hard thing? Is this a hard thing? But man (?) his self, in what rebelliousness, in what insatiable storms, against Allah, against people, against created beings;

what could you not share? What can you not share?

Had you been given (?), you would have thrown these worlds into turmoil.

In this case man (?) corruption everywhere.

When he could enter Allah's mercy and compassion, under His infinite, inexhaustible guidance, wrestling with himself, in stress, being hostile to people, turning his back on Allah, thinking of his own self and grandeur, to grab the world doing every wickedness he can, for a passing life to trample the hereafter, does this fit the human mind? (?) if you continue in this state, you have neither used your mind nor bound yourself by Allah's commands. Then what are you? You are human in character, human in form, and in character you are an animal.

Allah says this too. They are like four-legged beasts roaming the earth, He says. Even further astray in their way, He says. Yes. Even an animal fulfils its duty according to the duty it was created for. Although you were created the most honoured of all creatures, by going against Allah Almighty, by deifying your self, doing things viler than an animal, on earth in human form, but by the covenant you gave, a person who lives viler than an animal, as a four-legged beast. So, O man, if Allah Almighty says that the people who envy the world and spin every intrigue for the world are like four-legged beasts on earth, how can you envy that person?

Whoever envies him is like them too, He says. Yes.

If our Lord created us the most honoured of creatures,

if He gave that person a part of Himself, He wants to see that part of Him honoured. For example, if this world is the likeness and shadow of the hereafter, a father wants his children to rise. Their doing very good deeds so that the people on the other side praise them honours that father. So if Allah created man as the most honoured in the universe, and gave him a part of His spirit, He wants to see that person as honoured and as a being worthy of that honour. What does He say? We sent you your honour. You turn your backs on your honour, He says. So if that honour belongs to Allah, if all might and honour belong to Allah, if He created you the most honoured, and you turn your back on that honour, your Lord, not wanting you to be that way at all, but since He tied your (?) wish to your own will, since He will judge with that justice, He said: are those who know and those who do not know equal? He said: are those who work and those who do not equal? For the ruling of His justice to be fulfilled, reluctantly He gave your own will into your own hand, and you too, without being wronged at all on that day, will be given the full recompense of what you earned, and you will be worthy of that hellfire you deserve, which is eternal.

Well, does this befit a person created honoured?

That is why, use your mind. Allah Almighty too addresses the mind. Will you not use your minds? Use your mind. do not be deceived by the passing world. Not this world that is recommended to you; even if they offer you another world as full as this one, never compromise on Allah's verses. Then, attaining your Lord's mercy, you will win the hereafter.

Allah Almighty says this in Surah Ya-Sin. We sent them two men, He says, men, He says. They told people the truth. We strengthened them with a third, He says, with a third. But they still continued in rebellion. From the far end of the city, He says, a man came running. O my people, follow those who ask you for no payment. These tell you about Allah and make Allah known, he said, and they stone him to death there. Even as he falls to the ground he says, I have won. These people, he says, if only they knew that Allah has granted me His paradise. Yes. So do not compromise on Allah. Not this world; look, even if it were a world as full as this one and they offered it to you,

still do not compromise on Allah. Well, what is the matter with you? For a few pennies, for a meagre living, you compromise on Allah, you compromise on the religion of Islam, you turn to false beliefs, and taking your place beside the enemies of Allah, you act as an enemy of religion. Ascribing slanders to Allah, you say I have cracked the secrets of the Quran. Just look at you. Whom are you saying this to? Without shame. Without shame. Without fearing Allah. Weren't the keys of the unseen in Allah's hand? Did He give you news of the unseen? Of the unseen.

Ah. Look. It can be like this. sometimes He has His friends show miracles. That is, of some of the events He programmed in the future, He has them tell some worlds. (?) This does not mean cracking the secret of the Quran. This means that a friend of Allah tells people something, and for some miracles to be shown so that those people's words are true, Allah Almighty shows them some programmes from the worlds. This does not mean cracking the secret. Yes.

That is Allah, your Lord. There is no god but Him.

He is the Creator of everything. So worship Him. He is the Guardian over everything. Over everything. Just worship Him. And say: hasbunallahu wa ni'mal-wakil, ni'mal-mawla wa ni'man-nasir. What a fine Guardian He is. What a fine Protector. What a fine support. Because He created you and me and the worlds. Shall we not lean on Him? If we do not give our back to Him, to whom shall we give it? When we lean on what He created, if it is a tree, it rots away. If it is a person, he dies. And on whom shall we lean? Surely we will lean on our Protector, our Guardian, who created us beautifully. Yes. For Allah to be Allah, He brings into being from nothing.

That is, He will be the Creator. He will be immortal. He will not have been born of anyone and will not have begotten. These are the attributes of Allah Almighty. Yes. He will be the Creator. He will need nothing. He will not have begotten and not have been born. Well, He will be immortal. Immortal. He will not have been born of anyone, and not have been born. He will have no consort, no rival and no partner. That is, when we say consort, a rival to Him, a partner. For example, today one factory produces a tyre, another produces a tyre. What do they do? They compete. Yours is better, mine is better.

Competition. Since there is no creator but Allah, no one can enter into competition with Him. So He has no consort. That is, He has no equal.

He will be self-subsisting. He will not eat, will not drink. He will not need what He created. All this perfect, He will even know the state and condition of what He created. Not being heedless of what He created, that is, not unaware of them, He will know their state and condition. He will have created death and life. Creating what He created with knowledge, He will not create any of them deficient and faulty so as to suffer within their bodies.

Every created being, knowing its Creator materially or spiritually, will remember Him. Of every being He created. As it says: the heavens and the earth and what is between them know for your Lord. And content with its Lord, it will be created. All those created will be created content with their Lord. Here we will make a distinction. When we say they will be created content with their Lord, humans and jinn are excepted. They will know of Allah's being known by their own will. That is why the jinn too have (?) and (?). In this case Allah Almighty created humans as the most perfect, the most honoured of creatures, by His own will. And in this case the self, every self, every self

will secure its living, will take, will mate and reproduce, will move about, that is, will travel, will multiply, and that self will reproduce. That is, its lineage; from his loins he will have children.

In this case this created self will colour a person's life.

Look at people: a hand cut off, an arm cut off, feet cut off. He does not want death. Let me still live, he says. So the self, the self given to man, is a being given to them in such a way that, within man's will, he can secure his living, that colour is given from it, that he lives a beautiful life, the self. Now, when it comes to the hereafter, there this self will want death. Because there is punishment there, punishment. Was it by his own will this time? Well, while those in paradise live an endless life, while they live an endless life, will they want death? Why did those in hell want it? Because they went against their Lord.

So every self, every self, clinging to the world, living, and desiring, protecting itself, colouring life; this is one of the traits Allah Almighty gave that self. In this case the self is attached to the world and secures its living. Allah Almighty also gives it a spirit. The spirit says: if you follow this self, I will abase you. But if you fulfil that self's desires and wishes as far as it desires, within My command, and refrain from the things that would lead it into sin through you, and bring it under your rule, I will raise you too, He says. To the spirit. It is really the spirit that moves a person.

Anyway, self, life and spirit alike. In this case man, man, by the nature of his creation too, although it is not in his own hand, since man was created with attachment to life and with desires, they too want to be attached to life. That is why we say it here. What do we say? All created beings, knowing their Creator materially or spiritually, will remember Him and will be created content with their Lord. Content with their Lord.

And created.

Now again, it goes back to that Elestü bi-Rabbiküm, doesn't it. Three groups. People. Although Allah Almighty said before them I am your Lord, there are those rebellious ones who, because they wait for the Lord in their own imagination, out of that arrogance and pride do not trust Allah. They wait for the Lord in their own imagination. If you told them we will kill you, it is impossible that they would want death. Impossible. Because in that pride, in arrogance, in grandeur, if they had not been attached to life, what would he say? Well, (?). Like what? Like vegetative life. The beings in nature are vegetative life.

They were created consenting to their state. Plants consent to their state. In people there is fear, there is zeal, there is ego, there is grandeur, there is pride, there is arrogance; there is, I mean. In this way such traits were given so that people's life, their living, would be coloured. But whoever does not overuse these traits and uses them within Allah's command rises in Allah's sight. But if he follows his self and forgets Allah, then of course he is left to punishment. Because it is in man's will. Creatures, the other creatures are not like that. The other creatures, according to the duties they will do, for the cleansing of this world, the 17 thousand worlds, one after another, cleansing each other, are like the gears of a clock.

These, according to the verse 'when the animals are gathered', if they behaved (?) towards each other, will take their rights and vanish. The first created ones are excepted; they will enter paradise. In this case they will not be called to account; only their being called to account is taking their rights from each other and vanishing. But humans and jinn will be called to account. Because their will is in their own hands, they will be responsible. Yes.

By the nature of its creation, suffering in the work it will do, in its movements, complaining about its Lord it will not be; as I said a moment ago, that no creature will complain about Allah Almighty. It will not be able to. Well, it will not complain about my Lord. Creating what He created for a purpose, all these seventeen and eighteen worlds He will create completing one another, as complements. Knowing its wisdom, its wisdoms, and what His creatures will be able to do until the Day of Judgment, He will program them according to a programme. Then in the world, since Adam (peace be upon him), He will prove His existence in every case. Again, even if made-up gods appeared since Adam (peace be upon him), or people took some as gods, that they were all mortal, that no god other than Allah, no god, yes, until our time, saying there is no god but me, or saying I too am a god, living until this time, showed no faithfulness in what they said; after the One Allah has proven to His creatures that the universe is His essence's, and that He created all creatures, the heavens and the earth and what is between them, calling out to every possessor of mind: so, with these listed qualities, Allah is He. There is no god but Him.

He is the Creator of everything. So, O people, the Allah who has these qualities is Allah. Believe in Allah, who makes His essence known, who sends prophets and books, other than whom there is none, who invites you to His essence. Continue worshipping without (?) in the duty of servitude to Him. Allah is the Guardian over everything. There is no finer support, no finer friend, no finer guardian and no finer protector than Him. So if, until this time, someone came out saying I too am a god, if there are those who came out saying I too am a god, they, being mortal, or, through many calamities, Allah's verses, that is, in the face of miracles, perished and vanished.

So if, ever since Adam until now, the same God has been calling to people on earth, and the same God will call until the Day of Judgment, and the same God, that is, our Lord, tells us that after the Day of Judgment the resurrection too is true: la ilaha illallah, there is no god but Him.
