Al-An'am 20: Those that We gave a Book know him (the Messenger), as they know their own sons. Those who put themselves in loss, they are the unbelievers.

Translation

Those that We gave a Book know him (the Messenger), as they know their own sons. Those who put themselves in loss, they are the unbelievers.

Tafsir

Those to whom the Book was given were the Torah. The description of the Prophet (pbuh) was written in the Torah, the Psalms and the Injil, and these People of the Book knew him as they knew their own sons. However, the fact that the Prophet they expected from among their own people came from the Arab tribe led them to turn against Allah and the Prophet. In their egoistic pride and grandeur, they have turned away from Allah and His Messenger, considering themselves superior to Allah and His Messenger.

Those who waste their souls, those who do not obey Allah and His Messenger because of their stubbornness, those who say that the punishment of Hell will not touch us for more than a few days, those who call themselves the beloved of Allah, these are the people who made their covenant with Allah (in Kalu Bela) as disbelievers. These people do not believe.

What is said in the video

Before moving on here, let me give a reminder. I say I will sort out these hadiths, but in the noble verse Allah Almighty says: say "insha'Allah," He says. If Satan makes you forget, He says this: Perhaps Allah will grant me success in a nearer time than that, He says. Let me say insha'Allah too. Insha'Allah. If I have life left, I will work on that too, insha'Allah. If I have life left, I will try to complete it all. Otherwise, as much as I complete, as much as I complete, we will (?), insha'Allah.

Surah Al-An'am, verse 20: Those to whom We gave the Book know him, the Messenger of Allah, as they know their own sons. Those who ruin themselves, they are the ones who do not believe. Yes, in the Torah, in the Psalms and in the Gospel Allah Almighty described (?) by his features. They knew very well. What? What did they know? They knew this very well: although all prophets conveyed the message, Muhammad (peace be upon him) has one more (?). It is written in the books and they know it. Along with conveying the message, he will be a man of the sword, it said. A man of the sword. Yes. Although they knew this too, although they kept him by his features, although they complained that 400 years had passed and no prophet would come, because he did not come from among them, out of the nafs, whims, pride and arrogance, caught in fact by that grandeur back at the address "Alastu bi Rabbikum", those non-Muslims, the polytheists, the Prophet's prophethood they denied.

To them, Allah Almighty: My beloved, do not grieve. They, He says, are waiting. You wait too. Tomorrow, whose the end of the world will be, He says. Whose the end of the world will be. Yes. Those to whom We gave the Book, him, the Messenger of Allah, as they know their own sons, they know him. Those who ruin themselves, they are the ones who do not believe. Those who ruin. Who are they? Those who, back in that eternal barzakh, at the address "Alastu bi Rabbikum", awaited the Lord in their own imagination. Yes. Those who awaited the Lord in their own imagination. What does Allah Almighty say? They will not be able to see their Lord.

There is no god but Allah, so how could they see their Lord?

Those who were given the Book. In the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel the features of the Prophet (peace be upon him) were written with dates, and these people of the Book knew him as they knew their own sons. Now, the Prophet's name, they said his name was not in the Quran. Well,

Al-Fath, Surah Al-Fath, Surah Al-Fath, verse 29, in the noble verse, Allah Almighty, in the noble verse, says "Muhammadun Rasulullah", Surah Al-Fath, verse 29. Yes, his name: Ahmad earlier, Muhammad, Allah Almighty writes. But alas, those rebels, those whose hearts are sealed, those who say "there is a veil in our ears, today we do not hear you," (?) will not believe in the Prophet, even if you show miracles, miracles too; therefore, since no one can change anyone's characters, and since those characters will live people's own destinies, the matter was settled and done in the eternal barzakh. The scripts have been written.

Yes.

Yes. What did you say? Hodja, just now, about the Prophet, did you say that Allah Almighty is responsible for errors that would come from him? I could not grasp that part, Hodja. Yes, then let me explain that. We do say it a bit deeply. Since you see those across from us at a certain place with what we explain, we say it this way. Let us explain. In the noble verse He says: he does not speak idly. What does He say? He does not speak idly. If Allah Almighty gave these characters and those qualities to the Prophet, gave them to the Prophet, He knows that he will not speak idly. So, since He knows this, He also forgave his future sins.

If the Prophet had spoken a word of his own, outside the word of Allah Almighty, had spoken, here Allah Almighty would be given attributes. Then He would be responsible. He would be given attributes, that is: Allah Almighty could not know. It would mean He could not know that the Prophet would speak outside Allah Almighty. Then He would be responsible for that. Yes. He said in the noble verse: he does not speak idly. And as long as he received no command from Allah Almighty, he would never speak. In fact, when he did not answer a question asked for about a month, he was grieved: has my Lord forgotten me?

Allah Almighty sends: your Lord does not forget you. That He had not forgotten. Yes. So he did not speak idly. He did not speak by his own mind.

I said it in this sense. (?) You understood, I suppose. If not, look, if you did not understand, these parts are a bit complicated. Ask more. More clearly. Let us explain it another way. So that people learn it well too. But if you understood, say "I understood, Hodja." Fine. If we managed to explain it, of course.

Yes. "All right, Hodja," he says. Now I understood. All right. Yes. Everything we speak, look, everything we speak corresponds to verses. Everything I speak, this much that I speak, all of it corresponds to verses. Anyway, if a word came out of my mouth outside the verse, anyway, before it even leaves my mouth, darkenings arise in my heart, so we understand that this is not it. Yes. We already speak the inspirations (?). The inspiration our Lord gives. Verses always correspond to these. If we spoke of our own accord, I could neither show you a verse nor speak before you so properly, like a hatif.

(?) From right and left.

Yes.

So, since his features were written in all the books, these people of the Book knew him as they knew their own sons. But that the prophet they awaited in their own (?) came from the Arab heart turned them toward taking a stand against Allah and the Prophet. Because the Jews were awaiting the prophet among themselves. They are very noble by lineage, after all, by their own reckoning.

Once a person has entered kufr. Those who killed the prophets, who stirred up strife on earth, the people Allah called cursed. Yes, these people, to justify themselves, will say words unimaginable to the mind, and with those words they will sink deeper and deeper. Such as? We are those close to Allah. We are the sons of Allah. With words like "punishment will not touch us for more than three days," they will have their curse, their punishment, turned into even more punishment.

Those who killed their prophets. Yes.

When the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not come from among them, this time they turned it against Allah and His Messenger. Even if he had come from among them, they would still have turned against him. Because in the eternal barzakh they took the stamp. That is, that they are rebels, wrongdoers against Allah, they themselves had Allah Almighty write their script for them. In this case, of course, even if he had come from among these people, they would kill him. As they killed John, as they killed Zechariah, they would kill. Because (?). Yes.

Poor people, they do not know that all people (?) the Prophet's spirit, (?), since the worlds were created from his light and people from his spirit, they cannot know that he is the greatest of people. Adam's spirit too being created from the Prophet's spirit. But Adam, created from clay as the first human, (?), creating Eve, and the first human factory being created, Allah Almighty, breathing into that clay Adam's spirit, which He created from the Prophet's spirit, bringing him to life in human form, and after that, all the spirits He had created (?), after the covenant, the person whose time has come, that spirit, through a human machine, through people descending from Adam, bringing them out of their loins.

Bringing them out of their loins.

The greatness of our Lord, (?). Yes.

With the pride and arrogance of the nafs, seeing themselves even above Allah and His Messenger, they turned their faces away from Allah and His Messenger. So those who ruin their own souls, who out of stubbornness do not obey Allah and His Messenger, those who say "hellfire will not touch us for more than a few days," those who call themselves Allah's beloved: these are the ones who, when making the covenant at Qalu Bala, gave their covenant to Allah Almighty as deniers. So these people do not believe.

Yes. These do not believe.
