Al-A'raf 168: They (the Jews) dispersed into the face of the earth by groups. There are good people among them and there are people who are inferior. They were tested with blessings and calamities (to be witnesses against themselves to show their character).

In verse 168 of Surah Al-A'raf, see what Allah Almighty decrees. Allah Almighty, until the Day of Judgment, warns people with His verses, and through His verses, as we always say, we see that Allah Almighty is everlasting, that ever since the world was founded, like history, live, He tells us the events; we see it, we don't feel it, we see it, we see it. How? History: we read what was written in the past, what past people wrote. But Allah Almighty telling us history, that is, telling us the situations of the people of the past and making known those of the future: as a living witness, we hear it from our Lord.

From our Lord. With those who write history, those who have history written, we hear it live from our Lord, who is the witness of history. Look what it says now: We scattered them, the Jews, group by group over the earth. (?) They are on the earth group by group, group by group, in every place, in every place.

In His living witness, what is our Lord? What comes out of this? Allah Almighty's hüve'l-evvelü ve'l-âhiru ve'z-zâhiru ve'l- bâtın. And that Allah Almighty is everlasting, everlasting from pre-eternity to post-eternity, that He is the Owner of both worlds and there is no other god besides Him, that all the worlds are His and under His power, He proves this to us here. What does it say? We scattered them, the Jews, group by group over the earth. Among them there are good people too. And among them there are also those lower than that. What is lower than that? Non-Muslims outside Islam. They are like four-legged beasts roaming the earth.

There are even people of whom they say, (?), some are even more astray. We tested them with good and bad so that they might turn back from evil. Yes. So that they might turn back from evil. This (?), their being scattered group by group over the earth, is a sign that the Jews will not be able to found a state on earth. That they will not be able to found a state. In fact, their founding a state is among the signs of the Day of Judgment.

According to this verse, their founding a state is a sign of the Day of Judgment. Yes. According to what science reports with today's technology, the world has a lifespan of 200 or 250 years left. This too shows that the Day of Judgment is approaching. It isn't even that much. As we always say, around 150 years; not even 150 years, but that much we can say, you know. Today technology proves this anyway.

Take the time of the 8th Qutb (?) as 40 years. Forty years.

Take someone's as ten years. Fifty years. Take forty years as the time of the Mahdi of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Ninety years. After that, if the world is to live for forty years, they will go (?). One hundred thirty years. Between one hundred thirty and one hundred forty years, around then, the world will come to an end. Yes. That is how much life it has. Technology says this too anyway. The ozone layer tearing, the magnetism at the North Pole being erased, the world rotating incompletely, the glaciers at the poles melting; slowly the signs are becoming clear. Of course this will speed up over time.

For example, let's say today in the ozone layer, 10 cm, as an example I say. With a 10 cm layer tearing, the magnetism at the North Pole being erased very slightly, as it tears further and widens to 50 cm or 100 cm, this time the sun's ultraviolet rays there will erase the magnetism at the North Pole a bit more, so the world will start rotating even more incompletely around its own axis. Over time this will speed up. Yes, in this case, surely, what Allah Almighty created, what He called firm, the beings He created, we with our own hands will destroy. Yes.

Among this people there are good people too. They know the truth. They continue in obedience and worship. There are also people honored with the truth, the religion, Islam; this it makes known. But apart from these, among them again there are those lower than that as well. With this verse, Allah Almighty, that through people's obedience to Allah and His Messenger and their faith in Allah's verses, people will rise, that in Allah's sight they will attain high ranks, makes known, and (?) will be abased, that is, that there are also those who lay claim to Allah's punishment and buy it, this it makes known.

If you carry out Allah Almighty's command, they, by Allah Almighty, will be called (?). But if not, if these people oppose Allah's command and the Prophet, if they continue denying Allah's verses, in a state lower even than that animal, they will lay claim to Allah Almighty's punishment. At least the animals will not suffer punishment. Because Allah Almighty programmed them in the service of His own will. For shortcomings in what Allah Almighty programmed there is no punishment. In the reckoning they have no (?), no sins and rewards. But what happens? When the animals are gathered, it says, that these animals, within the programs made for them, behaving harshly toward one another, one will take its due from another, and that they too, taking their due from one another, will vanish, He declares this to us.

Because they have no punishment, no rewards and sins. Yes, when it says when the animals are gathered, He decrees that by Allah's justice even among animals, those that behaved harshly toward each other will take their due from one another.

Allah Almighty tests people with poverty and wealth, with calamity, with peace.

So in the verse Allah Almighty says: We tested them with good and evil so that they might turn back from evil. We test you sometimes in your wealth, sometimes in your lives, He says. Although Allah Almighty knows how we will behave, in order to declare us to ourselves and make us witnesses, so that tomorrow, on the Day of Judgment, in the Supreme Court, in Allah Almighty's presence, one does not say: If it had been like this, I would have done that, Allah Almighty, by His attribute of divinity, makes known every kind of event people might ask about, and finally people have no questions left. Yes.

He tests them with good and evil so that they turn back from evil. No human will be able to say to Allah Almighty: My Allah, if You had given me calamity, if You had given me poverty, I would have turned to You and obeyed. Likewise, no human will be able to say to Allah Almighty: If You had given me wealth, look how I would have worshipped You. Allah, who is free from any deficient attribute, within people's destinies gives them much wealth and want, and tests man. He also gives good and bad. With events all people can understand in every way, within life, to make him a witness about himself to himself, to those around him and to Allah, He gives him calamities.

Through his own conduct, man proves to those around him and to himself what he is. Against Allah Almighty, in this case, no one can attribute any fault.
