Translation

Those are the true blasphemers and We have prepared a humiliating punishment for them.

Tafsir

As we explained in the previous verse, those who do not obey Allah and His Messenger, who deny the Hereafter, who believe in some of the Prophets but not in others, who differentiate between the Books, who believe in some but not others, these are disbelievers. Our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) came as a Prophet to all the worlds and people. The Holy Qur'an, which Allah (swt) sent to our Prophet, has also come to the worlds. Therefore, if a person deliberately denies a verse from the Qur'an, he is a disbeliever.

Whoever turns his back on Allah and turns away from Him, Allah has prepared for them a humiliating punishment in Hell for what they have done in this world, that is to say, a humiliating punishment that will humiliate them among other people and humiliate their pride, as well as a painful torment.

What is said in the video

Surah An-Nisa, verse 151: These are truly the disbelievers, He says. Oh, how beautiful. Look how beautiful the verses are. They support one another, just like this. These are truly the disbelievers. And We have prepared a humiliating punishment for the disbelievers, He says. What is this humiliating punishment? You know, they deified their nafs; what does He say? Those who, because of their stubbornness, the light of faith, He says, into the darkness of shirk (?); yes, these who, through the grandeur of their nafs, see themselves in very high places; who, seeing Muslims fear Allah and be gentle and mild, say they live like vegetables; who, every kind of filth and intrigue on earth they spin, without regard for halal or haram, usurping people's rights, gather worldly goods and boast of it; who, with pride and arrogance toward people, with grandeur, see themselves above them; on the Day of Judgment, when they see that those believers they looked down on have attained very great ranks in Allah's sight, before them they will be humiliated. That is the humiliating punishment.

And besides this, what punishments there are. This is a humiliating punishment.

Because with that pride and arrogance, those they looked down on, in the abode of eternal bliss, a (?) life of honor and dignity, in that highest paradise, when they see their ranks and see that they have attained high stations, when they realize that they themselves have been subjected to punishment at Allah's hand, when they throw themselves face down on the ground, when their eyes pop out like sky blue, before those people being humiliated like this, and Allah Almighty having them seized by their forelocks and thrown into a narrow place of hell, may Allah protect us all from such a punishment.

Apart from the punishments there. Also, perhaps, as we told in the verse, those who do not obey Allah and His Messenger, who deny the hereafter, who believe in some of the prophets and not in others, who distinguish between the books and believe in some and not in others, these are disbelievers. What does Allah Almighty call them? Disbelievers. What is a disbeliever? Those without faith. What is one without faith? Those who have no belief in Allah, who do not listen to Allah's commands, who invent something according to their own minds and call it religion, who call their own ideology religion: they are without religion.

So wake up, Muslim, wake up. There is no interfaith dialogue. Know this well. There is no interfaith dialogue. Because Inne'd-dîne inda'llâhi'l-İslâm. The Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel are in the Quran; outside the Quran, those who distinguish between the prophets, who believe in some of the books and not in others, who are they? They are disbelievers. Who is a disbeliever? One without faith. What does without faith mean? People who do not believe in Allah, who turn their backs on the commands He sent. So these people, as servants created by Allah, who don't listen to Allah's commands, who make themselves accept their own ideologies as religion, who put forward their own desires and wishes as religion and are governed by them, can they have a religion?

If they have put forward their own desires and wishes as religion, then these are people who have deified their own nafs; have you not seen the one who deifies his own nafs, He says? So in this case these disbelievers are without religion; they have no religion. Whoever says interfaith dialogue, if he says it consciously, becomes a disbeliever because he denies Allah's verse, if he says it consciously; but those who, unknowingly, invent in this way and make people believe in false beliefs outside Islam as religion, and in that way instill them in people, since they also take on the burden of those people, if only they knew how great sinners they are in Allah's sight.

If only they knew.

My advice to people:

Never meddle in places you don't know. Don't say, about the sides people find pleasing, that they show, the verses say so; don't accuse Allah of lying. Don't attribute lying to Allah. The burden of these is very great.

Today people talk at random. At random. Believe me, these are things heard from one another; if thirty percent is right, seventy percent wrong is how they talk.

I always say: have your child taught. Have him taught Arabic, make him a hafiz of the Word, but don't meddle in the meanings of verses you don't know; don't say interfaith dialogue. That there is no interfaith dialogue, look how beautifully it says: these are truly the disbelievers, and for the disbelievers, He says, We have prepared a humiliating punishment. Humiliating punishment. Who are these disbelievers? What are we saying? As we told in the previous verse, those who do not obey Allah and His Messenger have become without religion. Allah's command, Allah's verses, the Quran, and if the Prophet came to the worlds and he did not obey him, he has become without religion.

You can no longer call this a religion. Nor can you build dialogue between religions. You cannot be governed by the existence of something that doesn't exist. This (?) here, this is a religion, accept it. There is no other (?) than this. That is, there is no religion. Other than this. You cannot invent a (?) by your own mind, that is invent a religion, and hold it equal to this. So that religion you invented by your own mind is your own ideology; it is irreligion. It is faithlessness.

Am I saying something wrong?

If I am wrong, then say: yes Hodja, you are wrong too, according to this verse it is like this; I mean, I speak with the verses. What are we saying now? As we told in the previous verse, those who do not obey Allah and His Messenger, who deny the hereafter, who believe in some of the prophets and not in others, who distinguish between the books and do not believe in some; I'm not making this up, this is the previous verse; these are disbelievers, says Allah Almighty, these are disbelievers. To all the worlds and to people, the Prophet came as a prophet; in the Quran Allah Almighty sent with the Prophet he came to the worlds.

For this reason, if a person deliberately denies even one verse of the Quran, that person becomes a disbeliever. What does disbeliever mean? One who does not recognize Allah, does not listen to His command, deifying his own ideology, his nafs, acts as far as his own mind reaches, does not embrace Allah, does not fear Him, does not think he will reunite with Him, does not use his mind: it means a half-witted person.

Yes.

Whoever turns his back on Allah and moves away from Allah, Allah has prepared for them, in return for what they did in the world, in hell a humiliating one, that is, being cast into a despised state among other people, alongside a punishment that wounds their pride, torments that will cause very great pain. As I explained a moment ago. Yes.
