Surah Fâtır

Creation, existence, the one who brings into being, the one who creates, to emerge from one’s shell

1-Allah is the Owner of all the qualities in existence, the creator of all beings in the heavens and theearth, and the Owner of the power in all beings. He shows His glory in every being, everywhere, andHe creates existence in unity for a certain period. He creates and multiplies whatever He wills. SurelyAllah is the power in all things.

2-Allah offers nothing but mercy to mankind. There is no one to prevent Him, nor can there be any torestrain Him and send after Him. He is the supreme Owner of all values, the One who rules over allbeings.

3-O people! Understand the attributes of Allah in you. Is there any creator other than Allah? He is theOwner of the attributes in you, in the heavens and the earth. There is no power other than Him. So,how can you abandon the truths and return to your own ignorance?

4-They may deny you. And there were those who denied those who showed you the truth before you.Allah is the One who turns everything around at every moment.

5-O people! Surely, the truth is the whole of existence revealed from Allah. Let not the life of thisworld deceive you hereafter, and let not the deceivers deceive you with Allah.

6-Certainly, your satanic states are your enemies. From now on, take them as your enemies. Yoursatanic states will only cause you to have the ignorance of marginalization, thus leading to division.

7-Those who ignore and conceal the truths are in greater trouble. But, those who believe and work onthe right path will have forgiveness and a noble reward.

8-Is the one whose evil deeds seem beautiful to him like the one who does good deeds? So, whoeverwills, he will abandon the realities of Allah and go into his own ignorance, and whoever wills, he willbe guided. Do not go astray into ignorance, and do not be among those who remain in division. Surely,Allah is the Owner of the wisdom of what you do.

9-Allah is He who causes the wind to flow, then moves the clouds with it, and sends them on their wayto the dry land. We give life from the dead earth with the rain from it. This is how it is dispersed andspread.

10-Who seeks to be exalted? Let him know that all exaltation belongs to Allah alone. Beautiful wordsmake Him understood. Those who work rightly in the way of truth understand His exaltation. Butthose who are deceitful and evil are in greater trouble, and they are ruined by their deceit.

11-Allah is He who created you from dust, then from a drop of semen. Then, He made you in pairs.But women do not conceive nor give birth except by His will. And no one who is given life is givenanother life, nor is his life shortened. These are in the book of existence. Indeed, these are the order ofAllah.

12-The two seas are not equal. One is a drink that is acceptable, sweet and pleasant, and the other issalty and bitter. You benefit from what comes from each, and you derive good qualities from both, andyou see that both continue with what they carry. All this is to seek His blessings. It is hoped that youwould be of those who acknowledge the Owner of the blessings and submit.

13-He unites the night with the day and unites the day with the night. He is the One who regulates thesun and the moon, and all of them run for a set time. And Allah is the One who created you. His is the287sovereignty of the kingdom. Those to whom you turn, besides Him, have no power to create even themembrane of a seed.

14-Those to whom you turn do not hear your requests. And even if they could hear, they would not beable to respond to you. If you turn a blind eye to the truths, you will remain in polytheism until youdie. None can inform you of the truths except the One who informs you with His wisdom of all things.

15-O people! Nothing belongs to you. But, belongs to Allah. Allah is the Owner of all things, theOwner of all their attributes.16-Your death is only from His control, and the creation of a new soul is from Him.

17-These are nothing but the glory of Allah, the Owner of all values.

18-No one else can carry the burden of another’s sins. If the one who carries the sins calls someone tocarry it, he cannot carry anything of it. If there are those who want to be close, you can only explainand warn them of the truths. Those who are in the wisdom of the unseen, unknown world are humbletowards their Lord and act with the consciousness of devotion to Allah at every moment. Whoever ispurified from evils is purified only for his own sake. The return is only to Allah.

19-The one who sees the truths is not the same as the one who cannot see them.20-The one who is in the darkness of ignorance is not the same as the one who is in the light.

21-The one who is in the comfort of the truths is not the same as the one who is in the burning anddestructive states.

22-The one who has reached the perception of the living is not the same as the one who is devoid ofunderstanding. Surely, the one who wants to understand Allah hears the truths. You cannot make thosewho are as if dead in their bodies hear the truths.

23-You are only a warner, inviting to the truths.

24-You have certainly come forth to explain our truths, to give hope, to please, and to warn. If a nationremains in its ignorance, there will be those who explain the truths and warn.

25-If they deny you, then they denied the Messengers who came to those before them. They had madeit clear with clear proofs that every being is a letter carrying the truths and that every being is anilluminating book.

26-But, they remained in lies, clinging to their own state of ignorance, and they were of those whoignored the truths and concealed them. Thus, they did not know the truths.

27-Have you seen how Allah sends down water from the sky? Thus, He brings forth fruits of variouscolors, and in the mountains, paths are formed by the flowing water, and flowers of various colors,red, light, dark, come into being.

28-There are people of various colors among human being, animals and other beings. Surely, thosewho have attained the knowledge of the truths and know their servitude are humble towards Allah.Surely, Allah is the Supreme Owner of all values, the Forgiver.

29-Surely, those who understand that all existence is the book of Allah and study it, act with theconsciousness of devotion to Allah at every moment and they spend the knowledge of our truths they have attained, sometimes secretly and sometimes openly. Their desire is always to be in the exchangeof the knowledge of the truths.

30-Their being in love and friendship at every moment is a reward given to them and their virtuealways increases. Surely, He is the One who purifies with His graces, the One to be thanked.

31-We inform you of the truths from every book of existence at every moment. Those who are true tothose truths know the power that is in everything. Surely, you are servants of Allah. Surely, He is theOne who informs about all things at every moment, and shows all the truths.

32-We have given to Our servants the consciousness to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Wehave presented the whole of existence as a book. But, some of them ruined their own souls and somefollowed a middle path and some understood Allah, the One in charge of everything, and becameforemost in good works. This is the great virtue.

33-They are in the presence of understanding all manifestations. There they are in the state ofunderstanding the essence of the stations and they are pure and clean, and they are there in theperception of understanding the inner face of the forms.

34-They say: The Owner of all attributes is Allah. He is the One who removes our difficulties. Surely,He is the One who created us. He surely purifies us with His graces, and we should be grateful to Himfor His blessings.

35-He is the One who adorns us with His attributes and places us in our house of existence. There isno hardship for us there, and there is no weariness there.

36-Those who ignore the truths and cover them are in the burning state of the hell of ignorance. Thereis no response to the truths in them. They die in this state. There is no relief from their troubles. Thus,those who ignore the truths and cover them remain in this state in return for not understanding Us.

37-Those who are in such a state will cry out, saying, “O our Lord! Save us from this state, so that wemay work in the right path. We are among those who follow other deeds.” Did We not give you life?You were not of those who think about the creation of the existence, like those who think about thecreation of the existence. Those who explain the truths and warn you have come to you, but you havebecome immersed in pleasures. And there is no helper for those who are wrongdoers.

38-Surely, Allah is the One who created the heavens and the earth, the unseen and the unknown withHis wisdom . He is the Owner of wisdom, the Owner of hearts.

39-Allah created you on earth bearing His attributes. Whoever disregards the truths after this, then hewill not see the truths upon him. Their disregard and disbelief will not increase them except in theirdisbelief. They will remain in a bad state before the truths that belong to their Lord, and this willincrease their disbelief. Their ignoring and covering up of the truth leads them to disappointment.

40-Say: Have you seen those who, instead of Allah, set up partners in conjecture? Show me that theyhave created something on earth. Or do they have partners in the heaven? Or have they found proofsfrom the book We have presented to them? Rather, the words of the wrongdoers deceive one another.

41-Surely, Allah is the One who keeps in order all that is in the heavens and the earth, and indeed,their keeping in order is a sign of His Unity. Surely, He is the Giver of all good, the Purifier of Hisgrace.

42-They have sworn by Allah that they will believe, that they will strive, and that they will be guided,as those who follow the path of truth. And indeed, there came to them warners, who called to the truth.But, when those who explained and warned came to them, they increased in nothing but their hatred.

43-They became arrogant in the earth and were deceitful and evil. Deceit and evil do not reach anyoneexcept their creator. Do they not see the laws of existence that existed from the beginning? You willnever find any change in the laws of Allah’s existence, nor will you find any deviation in the laws ofAllah’s existence.

44-Do they not travel through the earth and learn how those before them ended? And there were thosestronger than them. There is nothing in the heavens and the earth that can impotent Allah. Indeed, Heis the Creator with His wisdom, the Powerful.

45-If people wish to understand Allah, let them not abandon the truths that have been presented tothem. Let them look at the clear, manifest things. But, they have a time to understand the truths untilthey die, even if they delay in some things. They have a time until their term comes. Surely, Allahgives insight to His servants.
