Translation

Indeed, those who deny Allah and Allah’s Messengers, and who (in matters of belief) try to separate Allah from Allah’s Messengers by saying; “We believe in some, but we don’t believe in others” and thus try to pursue a way between them (belief and denial)?

Tafsir

Those who disbelieve in Allah and His Prophets, or those who want to separate Allah and His Prophets and do not want to believe in some of them, these are the people who rebel against Allah and His commands. One of the verses of the Qur'an says: "The Prophets are one nation from one another". According to this verse, all Prophets are descended from the spirit of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), as we have explained in the previous verses. In this respect, Allah (swt) uses the expression of a single Ummah. Since from the souls of these Prophets the souls of their people were created, therefore all human beings are created from the soul of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.). Whoever denies the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), who is Hatemen Nebi (and maerselnake illa rahmeten lil alemin), denies his own origin and denies his ancestors and elders. People who do not recognize their ancestors and elders are rebellious people.

If people try to walk a path between belief and disbelief, they believe in what suits them and disbelieve in what does not suit them, and they become disbelievers because they disbelieve in Allah, His Messenger and the Last Day.

What is said in the video

Surah An-Nisa, verse 150: those who deny Allah and His prophets, and who, in the matter of belief, want to separate Allah and His prophets from each other and say: we believe in some but we do not believe in some, and those who want to take a way between faith and disbelief, are there not, He says. Are there not? Between faith and disbelief those who want to take a way.

People of this kind are without faith. A Muslim believes in all of Allah's prophets, believes in His angels, believes in the books He sent, believes in the hereafter, believes in resurrection after death. These are among the conditions of faith. In this case, those who say: I believe in Moses, I don't believe in Jesus; I believe in Jesus, I don't believe in Muhammad; who, by their own reasoning, say: I am governed by Allah's book, by the book He sent to me, I am governed by it; I have counted the prophet He sent to me as prophet, I recognize no other prophet; such people, going against the command of Allah Almighty, are half-witted people.

Allah Almighty, according to the time, according to people's minds, according to what they would understand, prophets and books He sent. Then their books, and the head of all the prophets, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), with the Quran, as a mercy to the worlds He sent. Whoever denies the Quran, denies the Prophet, does not recognize his prophethood, does not recognize the book in their own hands either. Because in the book in their own hands, the attributes of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are recorded.

It is clear there. But their rabbis, for a few coins of worldly gain, stuck them there and took them out. That is why, since the books in their hands are not the genuine ones, those He called People of the Book; the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel sent by Allah Almighty, four books with the Quran, to honor the world of humanity and as light and proof before them, together with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), He sent as a mercy to the worlds. I repeat again. Whoever turns his back on these, does not recognize them, they are without faith.

They have no religion either; they are without religion. In the verse: Inne'd-dîne inda'llâhi'l-İslâm. In the time of Jesus, those who believed in Jesus are on the nature of Islam.

Until the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came. Or those who believed in Moses, until David came, until the Psalms came, those who believed with it are on the nature of Islam. With David, that is with the Psalms, in the time up to Jesus, those governed by the Psalms are on the nature of Islam. After Jesus came, until the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came, those governed by the Gospel are on the nature of Islam. Then the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel were gathered in the Quran. Those verses exist in the Quran. Three books, with the Quran as the fourth book, as a mercy to the worlds, with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), to light the way before the world of humanity, as proof for them and to hold a light before them, Allah Almighty His Quran together with the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent.

In this case, in this case, even though their books are in the Quran, even though the Prophet's (peace be upon him) appearance is described in their books, whoever does not believe in the Quran and in the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) does not believe in the book in his own hands either. As Allah Almighty said of them, they are lying disbelievers. Their hearts are scattered and restless. So these are without faith. So these are without religion. They have no religion. They only follow their own ideologies. The verse is explicit, with the verse Inne'd-dîne inda'llâhi'l-İslâm. Let there be no misunderstanding. I say it once more.

Those governed by the Torah in the time of Moses, who came up to David (peace be upon him), believed on the nature of Islam. Because it was Allah's command. Faith was held with it. In the time of David, with the Psalms, the holy Gospel, until Jesus came, until the Gospel came, those governed by the Psalms are on the nature of Islam.

Governed by the Gospel, until the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came, those governed by the Gospel are on the nature of Islam. But since Allah Almighty gathered the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel in the Quran and sent them to all the worlds, to the world of humanity, whoever says: no, I am governed by the book He sent before, I am governed by the prophet He sent to me, and turns his back on the Quran, since the origin of his book is in the Quran, has not believed in his own book either. And because he went against Allah's command, he has become a disbeliever.

It's this simple. Now, will you deify your nafs, or will you return to your Lord who created you? Will you be with the grandeur of your nafs? These worlds from the atom to the globe He created, and no power can hinder Him; against Allah, who is powerful over everything, you will (?). Make your own decision.

In this case, that there is no way out other than being Muslim, being a servant to Allah, being of the community of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), taking the Quran before you as a guiding proof, you will think with your mind, you will find. Even though your mind shows you the right thing, if you sidestep your mind and follow the devil's (?) and go with your nafs, then for this three-minute, five- minute world, what torment you have done to your own nafs, tomorrow on the Day of Judgment you will realize. This talk of mine will whip you. It will seem like whips. But believe me, I speak in your favor.

Believe me, in your favor. These talks of mine will give you life. They will light your way. They are talks that will build up the world of the hereafter. If you know their worth. Yes.

How beautifully Yunus Emre says: knowledge is to know, he says; knowledge is to know oneself; if you do not know yourself, what kind of knowledge is this, he says. So those who deny Allah and His prophets, and who in the matter of belief want to separate Allah and His prophets from each other and say: in some we believe but in some we do not believe, and those who between faith and disbelief want to take a way, are there not, He says. Are there not? Those who deny Allah and the Prophet, or who in the matter of belief want to separate Allah and His prophets from each other and do not want to believe in some of them, these are people who rebel against Allah and His commands.

In a verse: the prophets are a single community, coming one from another. What is that? The prophets are a single community, coming one from another. How does this work? We said: first He gives from the soul of the Prophet. Take this as the Prophet's soul. No offense in the comparison. He takes a particle from it. A prophet's soul. He takes another particle. A prophet's soul. However many prophets He would create, He takes from the Prophet's soul. What happened? A single community, from his soul. Since He created these first, Allah Almighty makes a covenant with them. I will send you at the head of your people.

From your souls I will create the souls of your people. I will send you to them as prophets.

Do you accept? Yes, they said, He says. Yes, and I am witness over you, Allah Almighty says. The verse, this is the verse. And I am witness over you, He says. There is no need for anyone else to be witness. Because the first ones created were created as our Lord's will. Here, the will is Allah Almighty's. Then, when He creates the souls of the peoples from their soul, each person's own desire and wish, his own will, becomes his destiny. Now in this case, if the prophets are a single community coming one from another, and Allah is witness to this, how can you separate the prophets? You believed in some and in some you did not believe, how can you say that? But if you are a person of sound mind, your heart trembles because it fears Allah, and your tongue is tied; perhaps you cannot say it. But otherwise, if you follow the trail of Taghut, if you deify your nafs, if you say: who has gone to the hereafter and come back, if you say: will He bring these rotting bones of ours back to life, then you have not understood what kind of power your Creator has.

And with that mind of yours, belittling your Creator, the One who brings forth from nothing, you could not know what kind of power He has. What does He say? We will recreate you exactly, down to your fingertips, He says. What does that mean? From our father Adam until the Day of Judgment, people's fingerprints do not match one another. So, We will again your fingertips, He says, recreate exactly. That is the Allah who has that creative nature. He has that knowledge. That cell in your body that does not die, does not rot, will recreate you exactly. With the same frequency (?), your soul and your body will unite, but they will not enter into each other. As in this world.

Your body, as a (?), will bear witness for you in the presence of your Lord. Yes.

According to this verse, as we explained in the verses we told before, all the prophets (?) from the soul of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). For this reason Allah Almighty uses the expression 'a single community'. From the souls of these prophets He also created the souls of their peoples.

Therefore all people, from the soul of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), were created. Who? The Seal of the Prophets. Ve mâ erselnâke illâ rahmeten li'l-âlemîn. Whoever denies the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) goes as far as denying his own origin. His own origin. You are a person from your father's loins, you came from his offspring. Can you deny your father? Can you say: he is not my father, I did not come from his line, when you are of his offspring? If you go further, suppose you denied your father. Your father's father, your father's father, your father's father is Adam. Can you say: I did not come from him?

Can you say you didn't come from his loins?

If you say: how do I come from his loins? We of the children of Adam, with those who would emerge from the offspring, from the offspring, made a covenant. So can you say of him, your elder: I do not come from him? If you say so, you are a fool. If you don't accept foolishness and say unwillingly, yes, I came, then you cannot deny the prophets either. Nor can you deny that you are from his soul. So use your mind a little, just a little. If you use your mind, you will find yourself. You will find the truth, the truth.

What

are we saying? Whoever denies the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) goes as far as denying his own origin, and has denied his ancestor, his elder. And people who do not recognize their own ancestors and elders are rebellious people. That is, people who have rebelled against Allah. So if people attempt to take a way between faith and disbelief, they believe what suits their own nafs. By not believing what doesn't suit them, since they deny Allah, His Prophet and the Day of the hereafter, they become disbelievers. Yes.

It's understood, I suppose, isn't it? Yes. Fine points.

Not like: such verses, according to (?), it came like this, went like that, it formed this meaning, it formed that meaning, and saying it also means this, oh so-and-so said this too, not like that; with His verses, where we came from we will know. We will know how we came to be. By whom we were created, and who is the owner of these worlds? To whom will we give account? This we will know. Are we without responsibility on earth? We seem so. Because our Lord gave us partial free will, and we are free people within our own will. No one can interfere with us. But just as in a family your mother and father interfere with the bad things you do, if only you could know that all your actual deeds, every atom's weight of good and evil, are written down and that one day you will be called to account, you who think yourself without responsibility, under what kind of yoke you are; if only you could know.

If only you could know.

Yes.
