Translation

To the contrary, Allah has elevated him (Jesus) to the side of Allah. Allah is Exalted in Might (Azeez) and All-Wise (Hakeem).

Tafsir

Surely what Allah says is the truth. Jesus is alive. When the time comes, Allah will send him to the realm of property. He too will taste death. In some narrations there are various interpretations about Jesus. Most of them are untrue interpretations or deliberately fabricated interpretations, one of which is that Jesus Christ will come back to earth, that the people will believe that he is a Prophet, that he will rule with the Qur'an, that he will abolish superstitious beliefs such as the cross and the pig, and these things are false. Because Jesus Christ is alive. He is a prophet himself. Since no Prophet will come again after the Holy Prophet, these statements have no validity according to the verse of Hatemen Nebi.

Allah is the owner of wisdom. Why He made the Prophet alive, why He raised Jesus Christ to His presence, the wisdom of these things is with Allah. And He gives those whom He reveals a taste of wisdom through the Verses in order that Allah may remove falsehood from the earth.

What is said in the video

We will answer your questions. Rather, Allah raised him, Jesus, up to Himself. Allah is the Possessor of might and wisdom. Earlier we said it lies in wisdom. Why He created many events, Allah knows. We cannot know. This is called wisdom.

Ladunni knowledge is within wisdom.

'Whomever We gave wisdom, gave knowledge, We gave him wisdom,' He says. Wisdom.

We said ladunni knowledge. Wisdom — wisdom is within ladunni knowledge. We said. On what basis did we say it? Jesus' — I mean, Khidr (peace be upon him) making a hole in the ship.

Isn't that a wisdom? What does Moses say? 'You have done a grave thing,' he says. 'You made a hole in the ship of innocent boys,' he says.

Yet what was the wisdom in this? Further ahead a king would seize every sound ship. Allah Almighty commanded: make this ship defective so that the ship of these two poor ones, his kingship, does not seize it. So that these boys can earn their living. Wisdom! You said so, didn't you? Full of wisdom.

Yes. In this case, his killing the boy, Khidr (peace be upon him) repairing the ruined wall, too — 'you', 'how will you show patience with me in a matter whose origin you do not know?' he says. Yes. So what He created and why, Allah knows. And as far as He has made it known, His making it known to people, His giving wisdom, is so that Allah Almighty, among His servants, with this wisdom has people guided.

If you do not have this wisdom, your pure, eloquent Saudi Arabic, your grammar, even if you had grammar, the (?) of grammar, you would not have the strength to open up the Quran. You would not have the strength. Because wisdom is needed, wisdom. Wisdom is needed.

What did Allah Almighty mean by the word in this verse? 'No, it is like this, no, it is like that, no, sir, angels with raised ranks, no, people's ranks are raised, no, let me tell you, raised layer upon layer' and so on. Say this, say that. But that is not the aim. What was the aim? 'Allah raises His servant, His servant by degrees,' He says, 'raises His servant and makes known His command.' Allah raises His servant by degrees and makes known His command. What command is this? On what does this verse rest? If you say revelation, this goes to the prophet. Here He makes known His command to His servant.

Revelation is one thing, command is another. His making the command known to His servant through inspiration. To whom? To people like whom, this?

In this verse it points to people who are given a duty by Allah Almighty. As I said just now, in the hadith, 'the (?) of my community are like the prophets of the Children of Israel' — it points to those people, attributes it to them. Not 'He raised the heavens, raised the angels, raised the ranks' and so on. This is wisdom. Knowing the meaning of the verse, knowing its essence. This is wisdom.

A (?) Allah raised him, Jesus, up to Himself. Allah is the Possessor of might and wisdom.

Allah is of course the Possessor of might. All might is with Allah. Because He is complete and perfect. You can never find any deficiency in Him. You cannot find fault. He is free of all deficient attributes. So let whoever seeks might and wisdom turn to Allah. Might and wisdom are with Allah. Indeed, what Allah says is the truth. If Jesus did not die, he was not killed. When the time comes, Allah will send him to the visible world. Jesus. He too will taste death. According to the verse in which He says, 'Every soul will taste death, and to Me is your return.' In some narrations there are various interpretations about Jesus.

Most are untrue interpretations, or made-up interpretations said on purpose, and one of them is: Jesus will come into the world again. The People of the Book will believe that he is a prophet. He is a prophet anyway.

He will rule by the Quran, he will abolish false beliefs such as the cross and the pig, these claims are false. False. Why are they false? Correct. There is no cross, no pork either. This part is correct. Where is the false part? He will come as a prophet. He will come as a member of the community. Had he come as a prophet, he would contradict the 'Seal of the Prophets' verse. Not the Seal of the Prophets — after the Prophet passed on, (?) since the very last to come into the world would be Jesus, he would have come as a prophet. Would have come. According to what they say, if our religion were not sound, Jesus would not come into the world as a prophet.

So if Jesus is a prophet, if he is to come as the last prophet, the prophethood of our Prophet is sound (?) — 'we do not believe in Muhammad,' they say. So he will not come as a prophet. But he will rule by the Quran. Because he will be a member of the community. Yes, I think we have explained this part enough.

He will abolish false beliefs such as the cross and the pig. These claims are false. Because Jesus is alive. And he himself is a prophet. Since no prophet will come again after the Prophet, these claims have no validity according to the 'Seal of the Prophets' verse. Two are right, one is wrong. They say, 'This man denies the hadiths and the verses.' Because they have mixed things into them. And we are sorting them out. We are sorting them out. These are the falsehoods that have crept in since the founding of the Republic.

Allah is the Possessor of wisdom. Why did He make the Prophet alive? Why did He raise Jesus up to Himself? The wisdom of these is with Allah. And what He has made known, through verses and a little wisdom, His letting us taste a little of wisdom, is so that Allah removes falsehood on earth. Falsehoods. Yes. Otherwise, why did He create the 17,000 worlds? What did He create, and why? Yes. He created these as a filter for the world. All the animals clean one another. They eat one another. Today you see huge elephants dying. From them come many germs, carcasses, sir. But then you see lions, tigers, hyenas eating in turn, jackals, and finally vultures, stripping them down to the bones.

Hungry hyenas even eat the bones. And in this way everything becomes a filter. Each has a duty, each does its duty. For example, today in Africa there are millions of (?)-headed things, there are antelopes. There are millions of buffalo, thousands.

Rain region, the equator. The rains make the grass grow everywhere. Sir, strange grasses, or fires break out. And these animals clean them up. And they move in herds. While they cross over, (?) try to take their young too. Allah Almighty keeps the balance. Lions eat. He created lions. They will keep the balance. Each does its duty. He created the world as one mass. Why were they created? What are their duties? As far as Allah Almighty has made it known, our Lord's making a little of it known — these falsehoods, so as to remove the (?) in people's heads, are what He has given to people: the wisdoms He has given.

Yes. 'What He has made known,' He says, 'His letting us taste a little wisdom in the verses, is so that Allah removes falsehood on earth.'
