At-Tawbah 27: After this, Allah again accepts the repentance of those who ask for (from Allah). Allah is Ghafoor (Forgiving) and Raheem (the One Who very generously accepts repentance).

We will try to explain it, inshallah.

Then, after this, Allah Almighty again accepts the repentance of whoever wishes. Of whoever wishes. Not "of whom He wishes"; they had written "of whom He wishes". Not "of whom He wishes". For Allah is forgiving and merciful.

People wage war. Among the disbelievers too, among non-Muslims too, there are people who will become Muslim. Even though they may have fought against the Islamic forces, in the end, if they repent, there is no god but Allah, so that they, above those lords, (?) (?). In this case, what does Allah Almighty say? After this, again, of whoever wishes. Again, again, it says. Even though you did so, even though you fought, after that, of whoever wishes He accepts the repentance. For Allah is forgiving and merciful, it says. Yes. Because He loves His servants very much. He did not create His servants so that they would suffer wrong.

Allah Almighty is of complete, perfect, unique attributes and (?). In this case He treats all His creatures with mercy.

Yes. Even though Allah Almighty helps Islam against the polytheist armies, of those in the polytheist armies who later find guidance and become Muslim He also accepts the repentance. Because there is no other god besides Allah, such that people, with the other creator, turn to Allah and (?). Yes. That is not possible. Because there is no god but Allah. So Allah Almighty, as we explained so well at the beginning, created us deficient. Since He created us deficient, what was His purpose? People would know their helplessness through their deficiencies. Through the mistakes they make, they would turn to their Lord.

It would fit Allah Almighty's purpose of creation. Yes. So if there were another god besides Allah, if besides our Lord, who creates the worlds, there had been another god, one would take what he created and the other what he created, and everything would drown in corruption. Because, just as there is selfishness in people, in the world too, that state is strong, this state is strong; the strong one, the weak one it beats, (?) takes it under. Or it makes it dependent for its livelihood, or puts the chains of captivity on it, wipes it out. If there were another god besides Allah, one would take what he created, the other what he created, and everything would drown in corruption. That is, everything would be ruined and in chaos.

In this case, then, since there is no god but Allah, and since Allah Almighty is compassionate and merciful toward His creatures, whoever turns from Allah to Allah, turns in repentance and seeks forgiveness from the repentances he has made, realizes he is a sinner, and turns to Allah in his helplessness, will find Allah Almighty most forgiving.

According to this verse, the order of the universe would be disrupted, people could not find life. Since there is no other god besides Allah, every soul, within the frame of a set lifespan, in proportion to the covenant it gave Allah Almighty, holds itself as a witness before that One Allah. Finally, by His verse that says "your return is to Me", people, upon passing to the hereafter, are called to account for what they did and sent to the places they deserve. How beautiful. What a beautiful order Allah Almighty has set up. He leaves every person alone with his own deeds. Through the commands (?) by each person's own partial will, through the decisions the person himself will make, He brings about good deeds and sins, and people, according to the verse "Did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you became?", through the actual deeds these people have done, through the good deeds and sins they have committed, people make themselves witnesses before Allah Almighty so beautifully.

What a beautiful order. No one can ever say "this turned out like this". For this reason, while living on earth, people, because of their deficient creation, commit mistakes and then, seeing that they are sinners, can repent.

Since Allah, who knows the unseen and is All-Wise, knows these things, those in the polytheist armies who, being among them at that moment, help them, that is, those who help the polytheists, and who themselves, growing up in those polytheist armies, are polytheists by their life at that moment. But in fact they are not polytheists. They are created with the nature of Islam, came as Muslims by origin, and live among the disbelievers. Yes.

When they later realize they made mistakes and turn back, Allah Almighty accepts their repentance. He does not say to those people: No, you were this, you were there, you were here, you killed people, Muslims, I do not accept your repentance; He does not say that. How beautifully He tests people with one another. The aim is the last breath. A person may live as a Muslim, and in the end say "what did I get from this", and, Allah forbid, leave the religion and go as a disbeliever. Before the soul reaches the throat, before the door of repentance closes, a person may also live in disbelief. When he later turns to Allah Almighty in his helplessness, he goes (?).

Now, in this case, we liken people to wrestlers. If we give an example: in this case, two wrestlers, head wrestlers, are wrestling. When one of them applies the elense hold, at the elense he understands that this one will beat me. He gives up right there, at the elense, while still on his feet. These are the young who, out of the zeal they feel for Allah Almighty, submit to Allah and continue their worship. Second: again, the wrestlers apply the elense. At that elense, one brings the other's knee to the ground. The one whose knee touches the ground understands that this one will beat him. This is the middle-aged person's turning to Allah Almighty, seeking repentance and forgiveness from Allah in his helplessness and continuing his worship.

The third, the third continues wrestling. One of them brings the other into a künde. His back is about to hit the ground. In the künde. There is no escape. He too gives up there. That is, for this person, near death, before the soul reaches the throat, giving up, returning to Islam, for his sins seeking repentance and forgiveness; the best is the first, those who understand at the elense and turn to their Lord at once.

It is for this reason that Allah in His verse: After this He again accepts the repentance of whoever wishes. Even though you have sinned, even though you were together with the polytheist armies and helped them, yet in the end, whenever you wish, recognising Allah as Allah, knowing there is no god but Allah, entering the religion of Islam, when you wish for (?), He accepts your repentance too. For Allah is forgiving and merciful, He declares. That is, even if people fight against the armies of Islam, defend shirk, commit every kind of evil deed and become oppressors, when they see that what they did was evil and understand that they are sinners, with the repentance they make, finding the truth, with the religion of Islam being honoured, believing in Allah's Messenger, those who take the Holy Quran as their guide, Allah forgives, and even turns their burden of sins into hasanah, that is, into a burden of rewards. This is Allah.

Yes. This is Allah. Otherwise: He guides whom He wills, and whom He wills He takes to Hell. Allah created people and jinn for Hell, it is said. Surah Al-A'raf, verse 179, 179. If it is said "Allah does not guide the disbelieving people", does this not contradict this verse, does it? If it were a human fabrication, you would find in it many words that contradict one another, it says. Yes. So, whoever wishes: even if you are within the army of the disbelievers, among them there are those who will become Muslim. Then the verse "Allah does not guide the disbelieving people" is not to be interpreted that way.

As long as they continue in that state, they cannot attain guidance. That is, as long as the army of disbelievers continues in its disbelief, it cannot attain guidance. But if it repents, He gives guidance. Look, it says: when they repent, Allah is very forgiving and merciful. So one must interpret the verses well, must know them.

We insist: this is Allah. He is compassionate and merciful toward His creatures. He has opened many paths and doors for people to find the truth. Here a question like this may come to our minds. If these people who commit so much oppression, who make the oppressed suffer, are forgiven, will they get away with the ordeal suffered by those subjected to this oppression, it comes to our minds. It comes to my mind, for example. I am asking this. Well, never; Allah is just, we say. Just. If people are patient with the ordeal (?) they suffer in the material world, if they rely on Allah and trust Him, Allah gives them, both in this world and in the hereafter, many rewards.

Many ranks. He forgives their sins and increases their rewards. Plus, if that person we call a disbeliever, with the torment he inflicted on those around him, turned to Allah and, with the period of ignorance, said "my Allah" and his (?) were turned into hasanah, since in this world we too are in a test, if we harmed the person around us; let me put it this way so it is better understood: I was in the polytheist armies, Allah forbid, let's say so. Later I understood that I had been in a period of ignorance, I became Muslim and, obedient to Allah Almighty, tried to be an upright person. To the end of my life I tried to walk the straight path, but in my period of ignorance I harmed many people, oppressed them, usurped their (?) rights.

So, because I reached the right path, with Allah Almighty forgiving my sins and turning them into a burden of rewards for me, in the hereafter, to those who suffered that oppression, until they are pleased with us, it comes (?). That person then says: if only there had been more, I would have taken a little more, would have been subjected to a little more suffering, would have gained a little more reward in the passing world. This shows how much Allah loves His (?) servants and how Allah shows mercy to His servants. Yes. No one's right is left upon anyone. And it is enough that a person recognizes his period of ignorance and knows to return to the truth.

Yes.

So, since our good deeds and charities are the provisions we prepare for the hereafter, the torment and such done to the oppressed by oppressors are also the provisions of the oppressed for the hereafter. That is, their rewards. Allah, to whom all creatures belong and who needs no creature, with His servants turning to Him, each servant of His He pleases one by one, and gives to them until people are pleased with one another. In this world no person is easily satisfied with another person. A person cannot please everyone. But however many people Allah has created, when they pass to the hereafter as Muslims, He will satisfy them one by one.

This is unique to Allah. Yes.
