What is the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted: [He did not create you nor resurrect you except as a single soul. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing]?

The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings.

The questioner : Your Eminence, I ask for an explanation of this verse, the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He: and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

The Shaykh :, and what is the problem?

The questioner : The beginning of the verse encourages [belief in] the power of creation, and at the end of the verse [it mentions] hearing and seeing.

The Shaykh : His saying, the Exalted: means the ease of this for Allah, Mighty and Majestic, as He said, the Exalted: When He commands a thing, it is like the blink of an eye. Allah commands the earth and it trembles, and in the blink of an eye, He destroys with this tremor a world, houses, and wealth that none can count except Allah. One word. If all the craters of the world came, they would not do this, or if all the bombs of the world came, they would not do this action. But it is one word, He says "Be" and it is. He says: This is by way of threat, meaning: He is Hearing of your words and Seeing of your actions, so beware that you do not deny anything while you know the greatness of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. This is the connection, because this is a threat to them so that they do not deny anything of the power of Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
