Tafsir
Even though the enemies of Allah and the Prophet are preparing traps and tricks against the Prophet in order to destroy the religion of Islam, Allah (swt) says to the Prophet: O Habibim! Know that Allah is sufficient for you. In the hundred and twenty-ninth verse of Surat al-Tawbah, Allah (swt) says, "If they turn away from you, say: Allah, the Owner of the heavens and the earth and the great Throne, is sufficient for me. Allah, who is the Owner of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them and who created them out of nothing, is surely all-powerful and sovereign over all things. So if Allah says to His Messenger, "Allah is sufficient for you," then surely the heavens and the earth and the creatures among them, even if they were united, would not be able to do what is with Allah.
Allah is the one who supports the Prophet with His help. Allah helps the Prophets in many ways. Allah helps His Prophets through the miracles of His Essence, through the angels, through the believers who love Allah, and in many other ways that we do not know. Because the Prophets are messengers of Allah. And Allah will complete His light. Allah, who does not hold anyone to account for what He does not announce, makes His Essence known to mankind through the Prophets and makes every soul a witness against Him in the realm of the unseen. He makes man a witness against his own soul so that no soul can accuse Allah.
Allah supports His Messenger with the believers who love Allah. He will make His light known to the people who will come until the Day of Resurrection and will keep the Religion of Islam alive until the Day of Resurrection. And those who say Allah and love Allah and sincerely help the religion of Allah, Allah will help them.
Therefore, no matter how much the enemies of Allah plot against the religion of Allah and try to destroy it by their enmity, they will not succeed in their endeavors. They can only increase their own disbelief, and they cannot go beyond being cruel to their own souls. All their efforts and expenditures for this cause will end in a fiasco and they will be disappointed. Because Allah will continue His light until the Day of Resurrection. Allah, who has programmed these worlds with a program, knows what will happen until the Day of Resurrection, so He informs us of what will happen by addressing us with His Verses. According to this situation, a person who has a mind, who uses his mind, surrenders to Allah. By holding fast to the religion of Allah, he will find the truth and attain salvation.

Al-Anfal Surah, verse 62. If they want to deceive you — the verse I mentioned a moment ago is now supported here, look, here He explains it now. If they want to deceive you — with what? You will see it with the evidence in your hand, won't you? You see, you look and notice: ah, they are starting to deceive in such and such a way. Know that Allah is sufficient for you, He says. That is, do not be wary of them and do not fear, He says. And in one verse Allah Almighty says that no prophet fears anyone but Allah, He says. He is the one who supports you with His help and with the believers, He says.
So do not be wary of them.
Even if the enemies of Allah and the Prophet, to wipe out the religion of Islam, prepare traps and tricks against the Prophet, Allah Almighty says to the Prophet (peace be upon him): O My Beloved, know that Allah is sufficient for you.
In Surah At-Tawbah, verse 129, Allah Almighty says: if they turn away from you, say: Allah, Lord of the heavens and the earth, Owner of the great Throne, is enough for me, He commands. What does it say there? Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Fe in tevellev fe kul hasbiyallâhu lâ ilâhe illâ hû, aleyhi tevekkeltü ve hüve Rabbü'l-arşi'l-azîm. Yes. Even if all people turn their backs on you, if all of them leave you, say: the Owner of the heavens and the earth, of these worlds, the Owner of the great Throne is enough for me, He says.
Allah, Owner of the heavens and the earth and also of what is between them, who brought them into being from nothing, surely has power over everything and holds everything under His rule. So if Allah, addressing His Beloved, says "know that Allah is sufficient for you," then surely, even if the heavens and the earth and the created beings between them united, against the one who is with Allah they could bring no burden. Yes. Allah is the one who supports the Prophet with His help. With His help.
For Moses He split the Red Sea and brought him across.
Solomon used to talk with wolves and birds.
Jesus used to raise the dead.
The Prophet split the moon (?) in two, (?) his miracles. He met Allah Almighty in person, in person. In the worlds, something granted to no created being — seeing our Lord, not granted — while living in this world, that is, not granted to see Him; among these created beings, except for one single one, the Prophet saw Allah Almighty in His true form, with his eyes. With his eyes. There is no need for any doubt about this. Whoever doubts it — though, if one doubts it in the face of the verses, in proportion to one's mind — since people's deeds depend on their intentions, even if he is not an unbeliever, his degree of faith is low.
"Hodja Efendi, have you gone astray? Are you denying Allah Almighty's verse?
Wasn't the unseen a realm, a realm where Allah is not seen? How did he see with these eyes?"
We sent you, He says, to esfel-i safilin. To the lowest of the low, to the material world, to an unseen realm We sent you. Well, it is not possible to see Him here. It is not possible to see Him here. In what way? In His true form. In the form of His beauty, in this world, with these eyes, it is not possible to see Him. Even to Moses He appeared in the form of fire. When he said, "My Lord, let me see You," the mountain shattered at His manifestation. Even he could not see with these eyes. But having left the world, going to the remotest corner of Allah's Throne, where time and space end — "My Beloved, take your step," when He said that: "Since there is no space, my Allah, where shall I put my step?" "Put one foot on top of the other, so that My servants know that I am beyond time and space" — in that realm where He said this, in that place, he met with Allah Almighty.
Here is one more proof for you, He says: at the Sidrat al-Muntaha. At that moment, He says, what covers the Sidra was covering it. Those poor people say it is Gabriel (peace be upon him). And he rose once more in his true form. Once more. So he sees there. At the place they met, he rose once more. And Allah revealed to His servant what He revealed, He says. Where is Gabriel here? Where here did he not see?
He saw with real eyes. There you go. Not in the world of this life. He who came as sultan to the worlds, that Beloved of the Most Majestic, (?) the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He, from whose light the worlds and from whose spirit humans were created, who has a special rank in Allah Almighty's sight, the owner of the Maqam Mahmud — he saw.
Yes, in the verses (?). If you are hiding those verses, if you cannot understand them, is the fault in your not understanding those verses?
Or is the fault (?) in the verses? You come along and (?) Gabriel. That is, you (?) the Prophet's glory by holding Gabriel above him. But wasn't he created from his light? In this case you are also ascribing attributes to Allah. The one created from his light, the one created from him, you set over him as his teacher; you say Gabriel taught him. Shame on you, shame on you. So you knew Arabic, and this is how much you understood of the verses.
A person reads a book. About an engine's construction, how the engine works, its advance timing, the four strokes or whatever: intake, exhaust, compression, ignition, exhaust, intake, compression, ignition, exhaust, the degree of advance — he reads it all. When you say, "Come on, friend, assemble this engine," he is dumbfounded. He is dumbfounded. No, he read it in a book, he has not seen it. And another has never read a book. He went to the master as an apprentice. He knows it inside out. Now, is the one who read the book more knowledgeable, or is that boy more knowledgeable? Know Arabic as much as you like.
With my Lord having raised me by showing me His verses, your knowing Arabic, beside me, has no value at all.
That is why: "This man doesn't know Arabic." "This man, the Prophet (peace be upon him) (?), doesn't know this." Well, if he doesn't know, look how beautifully he explains the verses. Look for a reason for this, why don't you. What is the reason for this? And this man tells you, friend, I am the imam of the age, he says. Can anyone find an inconsistency in his words? Yet without any proof in their hands they say, "This man is a fake sheikh."
To the Prophet too they said, "He is a madman." Who? The polytheists. And who are these? The superstitious. Ignorant people who don't use their minds. If he used his mind, would he say this? He would need proof in his hand to say this. Yes.
Allah is the one who supports the Prophet with His help. With His help, Allah also supports those He has raised. Are there verses? The passing of scholars to the hereafter is like the sun going and darkness coming. Which scholars are these? The ones he meant by "The saints of my community are like the prophets of the Children of Israel," as he said. The people of whom he said, "The scholars are my heirs."
Then, in the verse, Allah Almighty says most people do not know inspiration. Then Allah Almighty also informs the one He raises through inspiration. The one He raises. Do you want proof? Find a flaw in me, make your proof. Find a flaw in what I say, prove it. Measured against the verses, warn me with verses.
If, despite things this clear, you still cannot understand, no one, no one at all, can change anyone's destiny. Everyone proves himself in this world. Yes. So Allah is the one who supports the Prophet with His help. If He supported him, He also supports His scholars, those He has raised, with inspiration. Is my mind a computer? Is my mind some big library that answers everything said? But whatever you ask about, by my Lord's inspiration, your questions I answer in the light of the verses. Doesn't this remind you of something?
Yes. How nicely we are conversing with the verses like this. Allah is the one who supports the Prophet with His help. Allah's help to the prophets comes in many ways. If you don't know this, with what will you explain it? What can I say? If you don't have Allah's inspiration, with what will you explain this? In what ways does it come to the prophet? We are writing it here now. His person with miracles, with angels. With believers who love Allah, and in many other ways you do not know, Allah helps His prophets. With revelation. By informing them. Allah Almighty, by informing His prophets. Because the prophets are Allah's messengers.
Their heirs, the scholars, too, who will complete His light until the Day of Judgment on earth, are the lights of Allah. Lights. Yes. And Allah will complete His light. Allah, who holds no one accountable for what was not made heard, making Himself heard to people through prophets, makes every soul a witness against itself in the unseen realm. Now, the superstitious will take my speaking like this as evidence in their hands and say, look, this man compares himself to a prophet, (?) a prophet. Allah forbid. We describe the states of the scholars, the hadiths, the verses, and in which states these scholars are, but what will the superstitious, those of little mind, say?
Look, he compares himself to the Prophet, they will say. Yes.
May Allah protect us from such things. From such (?), from slanders. Yes. Allah, who holds none of the souls He has not informed accountable, making Himself heard to people through prophets, makes every soul a witness against itself in the unseen realm.
He makes a person a witness against his own self in such a way that no soul can blame Allah. Yes.
(?) Allah Almighty supports His Beloved with believers who love Allah. Making His light heard to the people who will come until the Day of Judgment, He keeps the religion of Islam alive until the Day of Judgment. And to those who say "Allah," love Allah and sincerely help Allah's religion, Allah gives help too. Today, if you help Allah's religion with five kuruş, He helps you with twenty-five kuruş, with fifty-five kuruş. You see that He opens doors from unknown places and gives to you. Yes.
So, however much those hostile to Allah prepare tricks and traps against Allah's religion — remember, it said "Allah's enemy," Allah's enemy. Look, we say it here. Hostile to Allah. Sir, even if they prepare tricks and traps against Allah's religion, even if, through enmity, they try to eliminate it, in these endeavors they cannot succeed. Merely increasing their own disbelief, they cannot get beyond their wrongdoing against their own selves. All the efforts and expenditures they make for this cause end in a fiasco, and they come to ruin. Because Allah will continue His light until the Day of Judgment.
Allah, who programmed these worlds with a program, since He has made known what will happen until the Day of Judgment, addresses us with His verses and tells us what will happen. Accordingly, a person who has a mind and uses it submits to Allah and, holding fast to Allah's religion, finds the truth and attains salvation.
