Translation

The only duty of the Messenger is to proclaim. Allah knows what you reveal and also what you hide.

Tafsir

Prophets are messengers of Allah (swt). No Prophet invites people to themselves. They are only obliged to convey the commands of Allah to people. When Prophets announce Allah's commands to people, they are not responsible for whether or not people fulfill them. However, since the Prophets are wiser and more perceptive than people in terms of knowledge and wisdom, they want all people to be obedient to Allah and to be saved from Allah's punishment. In this respect, they invite people to guidance and salvation as much as they can. Prophets are also the elders and fathers of their people. In this respect, Prophets desire that their people be guided by Allah's command.

Allah knows what people reveal and what they conceal. Allah is the Knower of the secrets of all hearts. Allah, Who has created this whole world with knowledge, has not created any creature in such a way that it is outside His dominion. Allah, who has programmed all these created beings for His own existence, is the One who knows and reveals the states of the beings He has created in the remotest corners of the universe. He gives life to His creations. In this respect, Allah is the One who knows what people hide in their hearts or say openly, the movement of a particle in any part of the universe and its desires and wishes. Allah, who encompasses the universe with His knowledge, being very merciful and forgiving, teaches people what they do not know and sends Prophets to them so that they may find the truth and not be subjected to punishment.

What is said in the video

perceived. Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 99: The Messenger's duty is only to convey. Allah knows what you reveal and what you conceal, it says. Yes, as we also explained in the verses, the Messenger's duty is only to convey Allah's word. I have sent you as a bringer of good tidings and a warner, it says. Bringer of good tidings. As a bringer of good tidings of paradise and a warner of hell. Yes.

The prophets are each envoys of Allah Almighty. The prophets. No prophet invites people to himself. No prophet. They are only charged with conveying Allah's commands to people.

What are Allah's commands? They are the verses. (?) the Messenger's duty is only to convey. Allah knows what you reveal and what you conceal. The prophets are each envoys of Allah Almighty. No prophet invites people to himself. They are only charged with conveying Allah's commands to people. When the prophets convey Allah's commands to people, they are not responsible for whether people carry out these commands or not. Yes. I explain to you. I proclaim the truth. Whether you carry out what I explain or not, I am not responsible. I do my duty. I explain my Lord's verses to you. Doing it or not is up to you.

Yes. (?) I call no one to account (?), it says in the verse, doesn't it. Yes. The prophets are like that too. They convey Allah's verses to people. Whether people judge by those verses or not does not hold the prophets responsible. But since the prophets are wiser and more perceptive than people in knowledge and insight, they wished that all people would obey Allah and escape Allah's torment. Since the prophets are in the position of elder and father of their peoples, just as a father does not want his child to go down a bad path, does not want him to suffer pain and hardship, so are the prophets towards their peoples.

Therefore, as far as they can, they invite people to guidance and salvation. Yes. That is why, it says, the prophets approach people from in front, from behind, from the right, from the left, it says. The prophets are at the same time both the elders and the fathers of their peoples. Therefore, by Allah's command, the prophets (?) that their peoples attain guidance. Yes.

Allah Almighty knows what people reveal and what they conceal. For Allah Almighty knows the secrets of the hearts. Yes. Allah is the One who knows the secrets of all hearts. Allah, who created this whole universe with knowledge, has not created any being in a way that would go outside His rule. He has programmed them all to Himself, and every one, even an atom, is created within our Lord's rule. Allah, who created this whole universe with His knowledge, has not created any being so as to draw it into His (?). Allah, who programmed all these created beings to His own being, is the One who, in the remotest corner of the universe, knows and governs the states of the beings He created.

He is the One who gives life to His creatures. Therefore Allah knows what people hide in their hearts or openly (?), the stirring of an atom anywhere in the universe and its wishes and desires — He is the One who knows. Since Allah, whose knowledge encompasses the universe, is very merciful and forgiving, He teaches people what they do not know. So that they (?) hardship, He sends them prophets so that they find the truth and are not exposed to torment, it says. Look at Allah Almighty's mercy. Look at His (?) towards His creatures. Look how much He loves them. But man still persists and persists.

(?) follows Satan, and if he rebels against Allah, Allah Almighty says: now it's up to you. It's up to you.
