At-Tawbah 63: Do they not know that whoever transgresses against Allah and Allah’s Messenger, there is a hell fire for them in which they will dwell eternally? This is the great humiliation.

Yes, that is, do not swear.

Have those hypocrites still not learned that whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger, for him there is surely the fire of hell, in which he will remain forever? That is the great disgrace. Indeed it is. While in the world, if you mock Allah's Messenger, while in the world to the Prophet's heirs, the heirs, to those scholars, you hurl insults, the scholars; if, although they tell you the truth, you turn your back, your back, and live outside the religion of Islam, and with superstitions that will damage the religion of Islam and wipe out Islam you inoculate people; if in the world, among your own partisans, among those hypocrites and polytheists, among those living inside that circle of ignorance, with a passion for being at the top, with a whim of the nafs, you try to look good to them; if those who live Islam you see, by your own reasoning, as lowly and disgraced, then in the hereafter it will (?) you.

That is, it will hold up a mirror. And you will be humiliated and disgraced.

What is disgrace like? In those positions where you saw yourself so high, in that abject state, seeing that Muslim attain high ranks, and yourself as the lowest of the low, brought low, even in a way that no one will look at your face, in a state where no one will speak to you without (?), when you are pushed by the (?) into the fire of hell, your eternal place – that disgrace is enough for you, that lowliness is enough for you. Yes. What does it say? Have they still not learned that whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger, for him there is surely the fire of hell, in which he will remain forever?

That is the great disgrace. Have these people still not learned that whoever does not believe in Allah and His Messenger will be subjected to the punishment of hell, in which they will remain forever? Have they still not learned – Allah Almighty, with His verses, is trying to remind people of this: at Qalu Bala, Allah, who made a covenant with our souls, through the intellect He gave our souls (?) made His essence known. But man, out of pride and grandeur from his nafs, caught up in egoism, denied Allah and did not believe. (?) through the intellect too, perceiving that they were created, they also know that they were created by one Allah.

So Allah Almighty sent people into His great world in which He veiled His essence. People being veiled from the essence of Allah Almighty, and knowing that they too were created by one Allah – despite having seen and heard of so many prophets and, with them, with them, the miracles given, and knowing of them – do those who still, following the whims of their nafs, turn their backs on Allah – that the place they will go in the end, in which there is a fierce fire, is hell – did they not know that? Yes. no one will be able to (?) toward Allah Almighty I, as I always say, from now on I will not repeat those words – you know, I used to say "those short minds", I used to say "they cannot comprehend" – these words I will not use. People normally have a covenant, their own degrees. They have a life according to their own degrees.

Of course, it does not mean the human mind will accept everything. Everyone has a state of the nafs. If people were copies of one another – I won't say in ideas, in thought, in reason and logic, but – in the covenants they gave to Allah, if they were all identical to one another, people would all be at the same degree. But look: there is nafs al-ammara, nafs al-lawwama, nafs al-mulhima, nafs al-mutma'inna, nafs al-radiya, nafs al-mardiyya, nafs al-safiya. That is, according to the degrees of the covenants they gave Allah Almighty, people's states of the nafs – they have an intellectual capacity able to grasp the religion of Islam, to grasp the verses.

And these are only those who, after nafs al-mutma'inna, rise to nafs al-radiya, who enter through the gate of knowledge and know the truth – for Allah Almighty says in His verse: the scholars and the angels bear witness to the existence of Allah, He says. Of course, those who see these things will no longer insult those who cannot see them. They too will carry on their lives within their own capacities, of course. But at least, at least, not to put their finger on places their minds cannot grasp – I advise them that. Not to put their finger on places their minds cannot grasp – I advise them that. Let me say it once more.

Not to put their finger, with regard to these verses, on places their minds cannot grasp – I advise them that. Because the only point where they oppose me is this: in the address "Elestü bi-Rabbiküm", in that realm of Lahut, Allah Almighty giving man of His own spirit – I am not saying it, Allah is saying it. I gave of My spirit, He says. To whom? To Adam, He says. To whom? To Jesus. To whom? To Muhammad. Look, I gave of My spirit, He says. From His spirit that He gave to Muhammad – indirectly, the people He created from his spirit, of course, since it is from our Lord's spirit, He gives to him.

So, since the universal spirit is Allah Almighty – in the realm of Lahut, "We created you" – who gave the line and adorned us like His essence, with the attributes of His essence, who made us (?) to His essence, Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty, because of that spirit He gave – Allah Almighty – in this era, since people see Allah Almighty as like themselves, they could not believe in Allah. But they know that they themselves were created. In this era they are waiting for a Lord they have imagined. What is the Lord they imagine? Allah Almighty says it like this in His verse. They are waiting for this: Allah will come down among the clouds together with the angels, and they will fall down in prostration.

In this era, why did Allah Almighty not create all people in this way, but leave their will free? He was going to create such a being that it would know its Lord by its own will. Allah Almighty has no need at all to make people live by frightening them like that. Because He creates whatever He wills. Apart from people of that kind – apart from humans and jinn – all of them programmed He has beings. So in this case Allah Almighty, to people, gave of His spirit; since those people are waiting in this way for the Lord of their imagination – and in the verse Allah Almighty says they will not be able to see their Lord.

Their Lord. But those who cannot know these verses, who cannot comprehend – I no longer call it an insult to them, sir, they cannot know, of course, their degree is at that level, sir – they say he will be raised blind at the gathering, sir; there he will be raised like this, here he will be raised like that, he will be raised blind. (?) in paradise, although according to Allah He has them attain paradise, that there is no god other than Allah (?). Because there is no (?) as they imagine. All the worlds were created by one single God, and that is Allah. Yes. In this case Allah Almighty – those souls that made the covenant, their wishes were given to them as their fate.

Yes. Here too, have they still not learned that whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger, for him there is surely the fire of hell, in which he will remain forever? That is a great disgrace, it says. Because those people there, with their nafs-driven feelings, their arrogance, pride and grandeur, denied Allah – people who gave their covenant to Allah Almighty in that way, people who, not recognizing that the One before them is their Lord, waiting for the Lord of their imagination – if a person has had his fate written that way, when he comes into the world, when he comes into the world, he will live his own fate, and when he goes to the hereafter, at that supreme court, however much they say: "We came, we saw; now (?) us to this world once more, and You'll see how we will worship" – "Not once but several times more We would send you, and you would still do the same thing, because denial is in your nature.

That is your nature," He says. Like what? For example, if you plant a lemon seed in the soil, it becomes a lemon tree. An apple, an apple tree. A pear, a pear tree. That is, whatever nature it has, that seed yields its own kind. And if denial of Allah lies in his covenant, even if he came not once but several more times, he would still do the same thing. In that case, even there people cannot recognize Allah and still try to deceive. There is a verse about that too. They have mistranslated that one too. If only, it says, they had known Me here. Look at Allah's mercy. If only they had known Me here.

They mistranslate this too. If only, it says, they had known Me here before. What is that? "If only before." (?) before, in the world. Whereas: if only they had known here. That is, he has already come there. That is, he has been gathered. Since he still cannot give up that nature of his, Allah Almighty, to them – our Lord, who is free of any deficient attribute – how beautifully, that he cannot give up his nature, to us He makes known. If only they had known here. So, all of them to hell. Look what it says. They will raise such an objection at that supreme court. They, it says, will call their spouses, friends, relatives, kin, and their people.

And We, it says, will call the Zabaniya. So even there they will (?) toward Allah. But none of them can stand against Allah; seized by their (?), it says, into hell they will be thrown. Yes. Have they still not learned, it says, that whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger, for him there is surely the fire of hell, in which he will remain forever? That is a great disgrace. Yes. Can there be a greater disgrace than this?

The hypocrites, the polytheists, those who do not believe in Allah and the hereafter, ending their lives this way, upon passing to the hereafter are subjected to an eternal hell in which they will remain. That is a great disgrace. Disgrace means: if a person claims to prove that something is true and asserts it, and when he says "it simply is so", he draws people to his view and makes them believe, and in the end sees that the thing he claimed is not so, when the truth comes out – he thinks it is right and asserts it that way. But when it comes out that it is not true, that person's embarrassment and lowliness – that is disgrace for that person. Because on something he does not know, out of stubbornness, with nafs-driven feelings, making out that he knew, he lied to people and deceived people and dragged them into disaster.

Today many of our people are in this situation. They explain to people matters they do not know, according to their own minds. They broaden the religion of Islam according to their own minds. Unaware of the verses, they think they are supposedly telling people something. Whereas they are committing a great sin. So, those who do not believe in Allah and His Messenger, who deny the hereafter, who oppose Allah and His Messenger, Muhammad (peace be upon him), who act by their own reason and nafs-driven feelings, the communities that, though they have no knowledge, deny what the Prophet said – according to the verse "every soul will taste death", when the command of the Truth comes, that is, when they die, these, in the hereafter, when they understand that what Allah and His Messenger said was true, then the embarrassment they fall into before one another and their disgrace will be enough for them.
