Al-A'raf 15: Allah said; “You are among those who were given time.”

"Allah Almighty did not accept my prayer," they say; they accuse Allah of stinginess, it says.

This contradicts the verse. That is one. That is one. Second,

according to the verse where He says, We do not load on your back a burden you cannot carry, a person prays, and within his destiny Allah Almighty did not accept his prayer, and if he accuses Allah of stinginess, according to this verse, and even in another verse they accuse Allah Almighty of stinginess; Allah Almighty, in His verses, says this way: I prayed but my prayer was not accepted, he says; yet it was because it was not within his destiny, it says. We do not give him what he prayed for. In return for the prayer he made, on the Day of Judgement, in the realm of the Hereafter, We bring out before that person many rewards for his patience, it says.

And that person asks: My Allah, what are these? I did not do these. In the world, it says, you asked, but since it was outside your destiny, since it would not do you good, We did not give it to you. Sir, in return for your patience, today these rewards are yours, it says. Where do people hide these verses, that they have the prayers of three people accepted? And the others' prayers are not accepted. That is what it amounts to anyway.

Always with such attributions, attributions, they have brought superstitions into the religion. They have buried the verses of Allah in ashes, buried them in ashes. People have no idea of the verses. Yes.

Here too Iblis makes a plea to Allah Almighty. Give me respite until the day people will be (?), he says. And Allah Almighty says: Go on, you are among those given respite.

Because, as we said before, when Allah Almighty created these worlds, He created them within (?). That is, they call it a (?); in a (?), within the events lived, what kind of events will appear, since He knew this, within these events Allah Almighty programmed the worlds. And since He knew that Satan too would ask Him for respite, go on, He says, you too are among those given respite. In fact, in our last lesson, in the verse in Surah Saba, we read, sir: why did We give Satan this opportunity, it says. In Surah Saba, 427. Yes, what did it say there? Let us do this reading from there.

Yes, in verse 20 of the surah: Iblis proved his assumption about them true. Except for a group of people, they all followed him, it says. In verse 21: Yet Satan had no influence at all over them. Only so that We would distinguish and know the one who believes in the Hereafter from the one who remains in doubt, We said. And they interpreted that wrongly too. We corrected that part for you. Sir, what does it say? For these people too, for those who rebel against and deny Allah, at that (?), who according to their own fancies (?) and deny Allah, there will of course also be a guide for them. Who will this be? It will of course be Satan.

Since Allah Almighty will not show people an evil path, they will follow Satan's temptation. What does it say? (?), by oath, it says. Satan proved his assumption about them true. Because it is an assumption. Because only Allah knows the unseen. Yes. In this case Allah Almighty, even, that is, to Iblis, who will lead those people astray, even to him gives respite until a certain time. So that they too, through those temptations, will bring out their own character and prove to themselves what kind of person they are. In this case, to the servant who knows Allah, the temptation Satan gives is (?), it says.

Because Allah Almighty, to His believing servant who knows His essence, His verses, within the verses, through the strength of his faith, so that he understands the truth even better, those verses are settled in his heart; the temptation Satan gives, or the desire of the nafs, he understands very well with his mind, and does not take his place in their ranks. And in this case it is not befitting the majesty of Allah Almighty that someone asks Allah for something and He does not give it to him. If Allah Almighty did not give what is asked of Allah to the one who asks, it would be as if Allah Almighty could not stand against what the asker asks, and a situation of Allah Almighty falling into helplessness would arise; so that such doubts do not come to minds, Allah Almighty grants and gives the asker what he asks within his destiny.

Within his destiny. Yes.

Personally, it would have come to my mind if He had not given Satan permission: Is it because Allah Almighty's power could not cope with the game he will play on man that He did not give him this respite? That would have come to my mind. But here He says: Go on, take them, I have given them to you, whoever follows you. The verses confirm one another anyway. So what lay beneath what the accursed one asked, Allah Almighty knowing what he did, what lay beneath it? He would set traps before the children of Adam, and since he is an enemy of the person coming to Allah, he would turn him away from the path to Allah and draw him to his own path.

That is, to the path of Hell. He would draw him to the path of anguish and punishment.

Go on, you are among those given respite, He said, and He gave him respite until the Last Day. The reason for granting this respite, as we explained in the verses above, is so that, as parts of the programs, the created ones play their characters according to their own wishes and desires. Everyone, standing as witness before Allah to himself in the direction of his own wishes and desires, with his good and bad deeds will give account in the divine presence. Every person, before Allah Almighty, on that Day of Judgement, will give his account.
