Al-A'raf 123: Pharaoh said; “Did you believe in him before I gave you permission? This is surely a plot you came up with in the town, to take its inhabitants from there. But you will see soon (what will come to you).”

Of Surah Al-A'raf, in verse 123, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Pharaoh said: Have you believed in him before I gave you permission? Allah Allah, just look at Pharaoh, he says: Have you believed in him before I gave you permission? This is without doubt a plot you devised in the city to drive its people out of it. Now, he had said, remember, you will have a high place with me, and now he says: without doubt this was your teacher, this is a plot you devised to drive me out of the city, he says. But soon you will see what will befall you, he says.

He threatens them. Yes.

And it says: Kâle, Pharaoh said, it says, âmentum bihî en âzene lekum, en âzene lekum, inne hâzâ le mekrun mekertumûhu fi'l-medîneti li tuhricû minhâ ehlehâ, fe sevfe ta'lemûn. The plots you devised to drive me out of my land. So your teacher was Moses. This time he takes Moses to be the sorcerers' teacher. He (?) makes these things up so as not to look defeated before his people.

Pharaoh, used to having everything he said done, Pharaoh who did not let people do anything without his permission, who saw himself as their god, ruling and dominating over them, and saw people as subjects: the sorcerers believing, without his permission, in Allah, the One and Only, struck Pharaoh to the core. To the core. Who are you, he says. Without my permission, though you are my slave, though you are my subject, how can you turn to his god, he says. Look what I will do to you, he says. What will he do? He will have their hands and feet cut off on opposite sides. And he will execute them. Yes. As if by having their hands and feet cut off and killing them he himself would find salvation.

Whereas those people are giving their lives for Allah. Hodja, why, although these people turned from this swamp of kufr to their Lord, did their Lord not save them, if you ask, I say: until that time they paid in this world the price of the kufr they had committed, and by surrendering their lives to their Lord they attained a great reward in the sight of their Lord. Everything has a price. They too paid that price.

If only we could be like those people who were sorcerers. That is, seeing the truth and, with faith like this, facing death, if only we could surrender to Allah. This is faith. This is belief. This is longing for Allah.

Yes. Pharaoh, with the pain of defeat, so that his people would not turn away from him and, as Pharaoh saw it, turn to the Lord of Moses and Aaron, who is in fact Allah, the Lord of the worlds, there made up a lie: you plotted with the sorcerers against these people and against me to drive these people out of this city. And I, you will soon see what I will do to you, he said. Now he was defeated, you see. What will he say? You plotted against me.

Let us see now, will your Lord save you? Look what I will do to you. The sorcerers will give their lives, but the Lord of Moses will save Moses. But Pharaoh, as a lesson to the worlds, his lifeless body He will save, and make it a lesson for people.

Yes.

Look now What does Allah Almighty say, Surah Yunus, Surah Yunus, verse 92: O Pharaoh. Surah Yunus, verse 92: O Pharaoh, so that you may be a lesson for those after you, today We will save your body lifeless. Truly, many people are heedless of Our signs. Says Allah Almighty. Did I not tell you? It is as if our Lord is speaking of us. As if He speaks of us a great deal. Together with us. Today, He says, so that you may be a lesson for future generations, I will save your lifeless body. Yes, and look, probably, Allah knows best, in England, in (?), (?) they have laid its prostrated state on its side.

You can probably see it. Let me bring it closer.

They have laid Pharaoh's prostrating state on its side.

Yes.

In this case

In this

case who is the winner? The winner, look: 1433 years, a book written 1400-some years earlier protects it. A book written 1400-some years earlier, together with a picture from 1400-some years earlier, appears before us.

(?) Look at the miracles, to the one who does not believe in Allah, in Paradise and Hell. Allah's miracles. How can you not believe?

As a lesson to the world, the English, on a rock in the Red Sea, because they knew the Quran's verses, do research and find him there. They take him and bring him. Where? In England, (?), they have turned him in the prostrating state too, laid him on his side. Yes.

So Allah is not apart from them, with all He created in the whole universe .

How beautifully He addresses us too, so beautifully He addresses us, so beautifully He tells it; I personally live it and as Allah Almighty tells it, this with the states (?), with His telling of history, it is as if I live those worlds. Before the greatness of my Lord I forget myself, that is. Yes. That is how I surrender to my Lord.

Every verse is a miracle in itself. Every verse. (?) In itself. His saying: if it had been (?), you would find in it many words, words that do not agree with each other, is His telling it to us only in this way, in a way we can understand with our mind. That is, just as there are no words in it that contradict each other, verses each of which is an ocean, verses each of which is a miracle. Because in them are also the secrets of creation. They are verses when they unfold meaning by meaning. So it is. This is the word of Allah. A person falls into such an ocean that into the ocean, the ocean of knowledge, he thinks he will drown there.

He thinks he will drown in that ocean of knowledge. That (?) blows a person's mind. His mind. In that ocean of knowledge. But it is such a knowledge, which one would you tell, after all? It is impossible. It is impossible. Even if you told it, those who lack understanding cannot grasp it. Yes. There is benefit in staying with its outward meaning.
