Translation

Verily, they also tried to cause mischief earlier and they turned many matters against you. But at the end, truth came and although they did not desire, Allah’s order prevailed.

Tafsir

In the face of the Prophet's propagation of the true religion, the hypocrites tried to create sedition against the Prophet with many schemes. In the battles of Hunayn and Uhud, and in the campaign of Tabuk, the hypocrites had many times sowed sedition among the army, and Abdullah ibn Ubayy, the leader of them, withdrew from the battle when the battle was about to begin, together with hypocrites like himself, and left the Islamic armies in a difficult situation. They tried to prevent the spread of Islam by introducing sedition among Islamic unions.

However, according to the Verse (truth has come and falsehood has been destroyed), Allah's command, which is the truth, has been fulfilled, despite the fact that the hypocrites, the idolatrous polytheists and the people of the People of the Book who opposed the religion of Islam did not want Islam. According to the verse, "Allah will complete His light", Allah's command will be fulfilled with those who follow Allah and His Messenger.

What is said in the video

Forty- eighth verse, we have come to it. By Allah, they had sought to stir up strife before and plotted many things against you. Finally the truth came and, though they did not want it, Allah's command prevailed. Those hypocrites (?) plotted intrigues. To destroy the religion of Islam, what strife they stirred up within Islam. Yes. As the Prophet (peace be upon him) lived the true religion and spread it, those who were hypocrites, against the Messenger of Allah, many (?), sought to stir up strife. In the battles of Hunayn and Uhud and on the Tabuk expedition, the hypocrites many times sowed strife within the army.

Their leader, Abdullah ibn Ubayy, when battle was about to begin, withdrew from the battle together with hypocrites like himself. And they left the Islamic armies in difficult situations. They sowed strife among the Islamic units and tried to block the spread of Islam. Yes, Allah Almighty, in His verse, praising some people, says: they were a nation, they came and passed. Yes, these strifes too were a nation, they came and passed, but the end has not come, the end has not come. And we said, we, within a lot of (?), within an adventure, within a series of adventures, are on a journey. One, our creation in the realm of Lahut.

Because my tooth broke, words don't come out of my mouth well. Please understand. Well, one, we said, in the realm of Lahut, the creation of our souls. Two, our covenant with Allah Almighty. Three, our (?). Four, coming to worldly life, in the unseen, in a realm where our Lord is not seen, proving how we (?), setting out on the journey of death, again, our (?). Five, the coming of the Day of Judgement. Six, our gathering at the place of assembly. Seven, being called to account at the Supreme Court and going to the places we deserve. So we are travellers. We are still in the middle of the road. It is not over.

It is not over. We continue on the road. On with the road. But on this road let us carry one another. Let us help one another. Let us embrace one another for Allah's sake and go to the end of the road in peace. Yes.

But the truth came and falsehood vanished. With this verse, despite the unwillingness of the hypocrites, the idolatrous polytheists and those of the People of the Book who opposed the religion of Islam, Allah's true command prevailed. That is, even if they did not want it, even if the polytheists disliked it — did they think they would put out Allah's light with the blowing of their mouths? Allah will complete His light until the Day of Judgement, He says. Yes, there, yes, the truth came and falsehood vanished — with this verse, despite the unwillingness of the hypocrites, the idolatrous polytheists and those of the People of the Book who stood against the religion of Islam, Allah's true command prevailed.

Keeping the religion of Islam alive until the Day of Judgement, Allah will complete His light. According to the verse, Allah's command came to pass; with those who follow Allah and His Messenger the religion of Islam took its place. Yes, that religion of Islam, until the Day of Judgement, will continue.
