Al-Anfal 55: In the sight of Allah, the worst of the living are those infidels. This is because they do not believe.

Surah Al-Anfal, verse 55, this verse we have arrived at. In the sight of Allah, the worst of the living beings that walk are those who disbelieve. For they do not believe. So if a person looks human in form, yet in form is an animal.

If he is even baser than an animal; Allah does not disparage the animal. Look, pay attention: in the sight of Allah, the worst of the living beings that walk, He says. The worst of living beings. So He created living beings for a task; and among them the worst are those who do not believe, human in form, animal in form. Otherwise Allah does not disparage the animal. For Allah creates nothing in vain. Well, didn't Allah create man? Yes, Allah created man too. Then why does He make him baser than the animal? Allah Almighty programmed animals for the tasks they will do. Every animal, every animal, every created being knows the task it will do. It never goes outside that task.

And if there are any who go outside their task, in the realm of the hereafter, where He says the animals will be gathered, they will take their rights from one another and part, they will vanish. As for man: since our Lord willed, and gave of His spirit to man, by whom He willed His essence to be known, of His spirit, He left man free in his own will. This man, left free in his own will, with this will given to him, He wanted his Lord to be known. Now this man, as a part of His essence, who denies his origin, this man who by his own will denies his origin, is in a baser state than that animal.

So these are the worst of the living beings roaming the earth.

Those who do not believe, those who rebel against Allah. Roaming this world He created, benefiting from all of Allah's blessings, turning his back on Allah, living intertwined with fame, renown, pride, arrogance, egoism, grandeur and worldly desire, his eyes seeing nothing but the world, priding himself on his wealth, as if he would (?) to the hereafter with it, clinging to it stingily: this poor man is unaware that tomorrow he will go to the hereafter stark naked.

Or do you own even an atom of your world? If that were so, He says, you would not be given anything from the world, not even the (?) of a seed. I mean, were you able to bring an atom into being from nothing, did you create one? If you had created an atom from nothing, you would also have created the beings to meet your other needs, and I, He says, would give you nothing. So every soul will taste death, and the inheritance of the heavens and the earth will remain to Allah, He says. How beautiful. Whatever He created, from atom to globe, all of it is Allah's. So we are a trust even in this body. And within this trust, one takes possession of this trust.

If you see this as yourself, and the soul you live intertwined with in this way you do not take into account, do not take seriously, you live blind.

Yes.

As those superstitious ones say, they enter paradise with the body. They will be washed at the gate of paradise and enter spotless, with the body. Just look at that. At superstition.

Well, is there a verse for what you say? Many verses. When souls are paired, with what? With the body, in the realm of the hereafter. The soul coming face to face. And of the body, the body, He will silence the mouth. He will bind the feet. He will make the arms speak.

And the soul, facing it, will say: why do you testify against me? My Lord, who makes me speak, makes me speak, it will say. After the testimony is over, saying "you are returned to the One who first created you", and per the verse "We give you life twice and death twice", the body will die there a second time; the body created from earth will sink into the earth. Allah Almighty created our souls in the realm of Lahut; He took mud from the world for Adam and in the highest paradise created that body of his, then breathed the soul into it, and told Satan and the angels: prostrate before that body.

So the body is separate, pay attention. After the soul entered, prostrate, He says.

But the superstitious ones put people into paradise with the body, and consider themselves scholars, scholars. He thinks himself, at the highest rank in religion, a holder of authority. Poor man.

With knowing a bit of Arabic, or by memorizing the Quran, he thinks himself to be in high places.

A person must be intelligent, intelligent. He must use his mind. So one who does not realize he was created: had he realized he was created, he would know his Lord. Or He says: how do you know Me? O Lord, I know Your essence as Creator and my self in helplessness, he says. Now you have known Me, He says. Had he known his self in helplessness, he would use his mind at least a little and try to distinguish truth from falsehood. And they would not, by turning falsehood into superstition, slander those who explain the truth.

Here it becomes clear who the real deviants are.

The worst of the living beings roaming the earth.

As the most honorable being, created with a will, with a soul rebellious against the One who created him, he puts himself in the state of the worst of living beings.

In the sight of Allah, the worst of the living beings that walk are the disbelievers. For Allah has programmed His creatures for the work they will do. All creatures know their tasks. They complete their work according to the opportunities given to them. People, with their partial will, have been held as addressees of Allah in Allah's presence, and from Allah's essence a part has been given to man. Yes.

That is, Allah has given man a part of His own spirit. He has left man's will, that is, his wishes and desires, to himself. Man, created as the most excellent of creatures, thinking with his mind, is in a position to distinguish good and bad. Although qualities by which he can build his world and sustain his own existence have been given to man, and animals, in the state they are in, do not complete their tasks, and all creatures, by Allah's command, serve man, people's denying their Creator amid so many blessings will surely bring these people to the worst state among the living beings that walk on the earth.

If those created beings do their task according to Allah's command, if they do it, then man, although he was created the most honorable, the most honorable. In this case, while that animal does the task it was commanded, man, held as his Lord's addressee in his own will, turning his back on Allah in conscience, this man, ungrateful for the blessings He gave, is surely baser than that animal.

I had a house built somewhere,

towards morning, in the middle of the night, when imsak comes in, the valley is brought down by birdsong. By birdsong.

Those animals, even before sunrise, along with imsak, remember their Lord. People's hair stands on end. My hair stands on end.

And tears come from my eyes. Those animals' (?) like that, their singing, their crying out, their remembering their Lord. And those animals live day by day. Day by day. Whatever they find, they eat.

They make no preparation at all for tomorrow. Allah Almighty says this in His verse too. To show this to people as an example. Do you not see the birds that fly to the plains in the mornings with empty crops? In the evenings, He says, they return to their nests with full crops. Although you cannot finish eating the provision We have given you for a lifetime, man is still ungrateful, He says. He says "there is none", He says, he is stingy toward Allah, He says; and ungrateful, this one is ungrateful.

Now, every morning its crop is empty, and seeking its provision, it falls short in nothing in worship of Allah: that animal; and a provision for a lifetime, which he would eat up, which he cannot finish eating, Allah gives that man, and that man turns his back on his Lord and does not know Him: is that animal more acceptable in Allah's sight, or is it this man? There: baser even than that animal, of the living beings that walk on the earth the basest, the worst.

Man, created as the most excellent of creatures, thinking with his mind, is in a position to distinguish good and bad. Although qualities by which he can build his world and sustain his own existence have been given to man, and animals complete their tasks in the state they are in, and all creatures, by Allah's command, serve man, people's denying, amid so many blessings, their Creator will surely bring these people, among the living beings that walk on the earth, to the state of the worst. According to the verse in which He says "for they do not believe". That those who do not believe do not obey Allah and His Messenger, that those who, turning their backs on the Quran, do not enter the religion of Islam are disbelievers, Allah Almighty emphasizes.

Allah created me; I will eat, drink, live. Allah was self-subsistent in His essence. He willed His essence to be known, and with a part of His essence, leaving man free in his own will, He willed His own existence to be known. In this case, what was Allah's command? That we know His essence. In this case Allah Almighty feeds us, gives us drink, gives us all our provision, protects us from every evil, expects nothing from us; just know Me, He says. In this case, if you deny your Creator, if you deny your origin, surely: while, Allah Almighty having created the creatures, according to the tasks it was created for that animal keeps to its work, Allah's command it carries out, although Allah Almighty, who holds you as addressee of His essence, created you sublime, if you turn your back on Allah, you have come to a state baser even than those animals.

In this case, since they do not believe, they are disbelievers, and these, when they pass to the hereafter without believing, live the life of eternal hell. Yes, eternal, endless.

According to the verse in which He says "for they do not believe", that those who do not believe do not obey Allah and His Messenger, that those who, turning their backs on the Quran, do not enter the religion of Islam are disbelievers, Allah Almighty emphasizes. For they do not believe; His saying they are the worst of created beings is, for the most honorably created man, a great insult. And being kept far from Allah's mercy in the realm of the hereafter, Allah, who created the worlds, leaving these people without a guardian on His part, shows that in the hereafter they will be subjected to severe punishment.

Pay attention here, don't misunderstand. It is a great insult for man, created the most honorable, and being kept far, in the hereafter, from Allah's mercy, Allah, who created the worlds, leaving these people without a guardian on His part, that in the hereafter they will be subjected to severe punishment, it shows. Don't leave the hereafter aside and perceive this in the realm of this world. Because some of those superstitious ones, superstitious ones: in this world, are we without a guardian? I mean, is Allah unaware of us? they may say. That's why I'm stressing this to you. Because those people with ulterior thoughts, who don't know themselves: look, look, look, what does he say?

Allah has left people without a guardian. Those superstitious ones. I'm reading this once more, against those superstitious ones. It is a great insult for man, created the most honorable. And being kept far from Allah's mercy in the realm of the hereafter.

My mercy in the universe is for everyone; in the hereafter only for the believer. In the realm of the hereafter they are deprived of Allah's mercy and alone. Alone. Yes.

Allah, who created the worlds, leaving these people without a guardian on His part, shows that in the hereafter they will be subjected to severe punishment. That is, if you will be subjected to this state there, be careful of yourself in this world. So, O man, come and reflect, we say, reflect. Use your mind. For your mind will lead you to the truth. Every mind is the judge over the person himself. A mind that can tell the rightful from the wrongful, Allah has given to man. If man, with his mind, could not tell the rightful from the wrongful, the crooked from the straight, if he were in such a state, then Allah would be given attributes here.

If He had given me a good mind, I too would know crooked and straight, he would say. Yes. So, O man, come, reflect, use your mind. For your mind will lead you to the truth. Do not follow your nafs. What your nafs likes makes you follow Satan and chase the world. The nafs has been given to people for a test. Follow your mind and be with your mind, so that you attain Allah's mercy. Otherwise it ruins you in both worlds, and in the end one incurs punishment in the hereafter. You become one of those who wrong their own souls. Yes.
