Exegesis of His saying: "Allah did not create that except in truth, distinguishing the signs for people who know."

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :
Allah did not create that except in truth ما خلق الله ذلك إلا بالحق
Falsity. This is like His saying, the Exalted:
And We did not create the heaven and the earth and that between them aimlessly. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve, so woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire. وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاءَ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَاطِلًا ذَلِكَ ظَنُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَوَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنَ النَّارِ
[Sad 38:27]
.
He details the signs for a people who know يفصل الآيات لقوم يعلمون
[Yunus 10:5]
"Distinguishing" means differentiating between them. So this is a sign of mercy. This is a sign of wisdom. This is a sign of authority. This is a sign of power, and so on. Earthquakes in the land, floods, and storms are a sign among the signs of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, indicating what? It indicates greatness, power, authority, and might. The occurrence of rain and blessings is a sign indicating what? It indicates mercy, compassion, grace, and kindness. So Allah, the Exalted, distinguishes the signs; every effect of what Allah created indicates a sign among His signs. Indeed, upon reflection, everything that happens is among the signs of Allah, as the poet said:
"So it is amazing how the Divine is disobeyed *** Or how the denier denies Him
And in every thing is a sign of His *** Indicating that He is One"
.
Indeed, in the alternation of the night and the day and [in] what Allah has created in the heavens and the earth are signs for a people who fear Allah إن في اختلاف الليل والنهار وما خلق الله في السماوات والأرض لآيات لقوم يتقون
[Yunus 10:6]
. This sentence is emphasized by two emphatic markers—say them, man—in "in the difference," "indeed in the difference." Yes, this "indeed" and where? Where is the emphatic lam? In "signs." May Allah reward you.
