An-Nisa 141: If you are blessed with a victory, the ones who observe you say; “Were we not with you?” And if the infidels have a share in victory, they will say; “Did we not protect you from the believers (mu’min)?” On the Day of Judgment, Allah will judge between you, and the infidels won’t find a way against the believers.

We have come to Surah An-Nisa, verse 141. Those who keep watching you: if a victory from Allah is granted to you, they say, were we not with you? Who is this? Those who keep watching you, He says — those outside the religion of Islam, the hypocrites, the non-Muslims. They too want a share of the victory. But if a misfortune befalls you: good thing we weren't with you, they say.

If the disbelievers get a share of victory, this time they say to them: though we could have beaten and killed you, did we not hold back and protect you from the believers? Allah will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection. And the disbelievers will never find a way against the believers. They will never find a way against the believers. Because falsehood is doomed to melt before the truth.

Those who are enemies of Allah — if the Muslims win a victory by Allah's grace and generosity: were we not with you? they say; from the Muslims, as spoils of victory, they try to take a share. Their lives are so precious to them that they cannot go to war with them. Allah Almighty tells them: sit with those who sit at home. That is, with the women.

If their relatives in war had died,

they say this, He says: had they been with us, they would not have died, He says. And Allah Almighty gives them such a fine answer. If death comes to them, He says, they will go on their own feet to the place where they will fall, He says.

A person's lifespan is over — that's it. It comes neither an hour early nor an hour late. Yes.

In a battle between Muslims and disbelievers, when the disbelievers get a share of the battle, that is, if the disbelievers win a victory against the Muslims, this time, from those disbelievers, the other disbelievers who demand their right — to them, to those people demanding a right, the other disbelievers say: what right? What do you want? When the Muslims were killing you, were about to kill you, did we not protect you from them? He says. Again he pockets the worldly gain himself. You know, they worship idols and say: this is our share, this is Allah's share. That is, the share of their gods, their idols.

They put that in their own pockets too, they share it out.

In a battle between Muslims and disbelievers, when the disbelievers get a share of the battle, among themselves, to one another: Were we not with you? Did we not protect you from the believers? Whereas we could have beaten you and killed you, killed you, they say. This time they explain they are on the disbelievers' side and want to take a share from them. These are the hypocrites. Yes.

The community of disbelievers are cruel and treacherous toward one another. Allah Almighty says so. They are very fierce among themselves, He says. Very fierce. They have no compassion. Merciless. Because people whose hearts are restless and scattered have no feeling of mercy. In the heart of a person without mercy there is cruelty, cruelty. Picturing that cruelty, in the form of various tortures, in their imagination, they use the opportunity that comes to hand in that way and want to satisfy their nafs. Yes, that's why they are very fierce among themselves.

The community of disbelievers are cruel and treacherous toward one another. Because in them there is no light of faith and no fear of Allah. Where people do not see them, they commit every kind of filth.

They do not think that Allah, the owner of the heavens and the earth, is present everywhere. He sees us. What does Allah Almighty decree in the verse? Even if you enter the strongest fortresses, even if you leave your world, even if you go to the remotest corner of the universe, We will still find you there. He says.

How does He find? How does He find?

Of all matter, magnetic or anti-magnetic, the atoms —

the neutrons and protons inside these atoms, the plus and minus nuclei, electric nuclei, as they spin around their own axes give off a sound. Even if people do not hear it — this is Allah Almighty's verse: The heavens and the earth and what is between them have known the remembrance of their Lord, He says. That Allah Almighty, while spinning the nuclei in the atoms of all this matter around their own axes, makes them remember His Self through a sound, symbolizes that apart from Allah there is no god. Just as a factory turns out a product and stamps it: this belongs to such-and-such factory — so Allah Almighty, whatever He created from atom to globe, makes it remember His Self; that there is no god besides Allah it symbolizes.

Plus, as they spin around their own axes, they give off a signal. A signal. These signals, within frequencies, are programmed to Allah Almighty. At whatever point of the universe every atom (?), it appears to Allah Almighty just like Morse code, and my Lord is thus present and watching everywhere in the universe.

There is not an atom outside His sight or His rule. That is impossible. Yes.

Where people do not see them, they commit every kind of filth; they do not think that Allah, the owner of the heavens and the earth, is present everywhere. None of the created can step outside His sight. When you say the created: all beings, living or lifeless. Despite this, thinking themselves clever, they prepare against people many traps. That is, among themselves, as if no one sees them.

And Allah Almighty answers them with His verses. They lay traps, He says. And Allah lays a trap against them. But Allah is the best of those who lay traps, He says. That is, the meaning here: if their traps, which are not outside their destiny, would harm people, He undoes them. Those traps do them no good.

And Allah Almighty does not, acting out of passion — why are you laying traps? — punish them. Again, within their destiny, He undoes those traps. So, where He says Allah is the best of those who lay traps, He settles the matter for the good of both sides.

Although the believers wish them well and ask Allah for their reform, these do evil to these people. The believer, with the mercy in his heart, by being compassionate toward Allah's creatures, wishes for the disbeliever's reform. O Allah, reform him. That is, may he become Muslim. Reform him. If it is in his destiny, may he turn back as soon as possible. And after he has become Muslim, what will he say? O Allah, have mercy on him. You cannot ask mercy for a non-Muslim. Only reform. You ask for his reform. Yes.

On earth they recognize no right or law other than their own interests. These people. Because their god is matter. Even if they say Allah, rather than Allah they call matter Allah. They have deified it.

If he called Allah Allah, Allah's creatures he would value accordingly. He would value the owner of what is created. If he knew Allah as Allah, he would not say Allah is power. If he knew Allah as Allah, he would not associate partners with Allah. Their knowing Allah, compared with how the people of the religion of Islam know Allah, is not the same. Because Allah is not an Allah with wife and children. He has neither wife nor child. He is One in His Self. Yes.

Therefore, since they act unjustly and cruelly, since the limits Allah set they overstep, in this world and in the hereafter, in the realm of the hereafter, on the Day of Resurrection, when they are called to account, against the Muslims, for themselves, no way will they find. Yes.

That is, what does this mean? They will find no way against the Muslims. If that one had preached to me, had done such and such, I would have been this way. Take my due from him — that sort of thing. That it will not be so, Allah Almighty says in the verse: your prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him), as witness over all the prophets, and you too, He says, I will take as witnesses over the other communities, He says.

Yes. So no non-Muslim will find a way against the Muslim (?). In this case, a Muslim is a Muslim, but for him to be a witness over those non-Muslims, that Muslim must live Islam. There are such Muslims that they outdo the non-Muslims. Yes.

I can't help telling you this too: although a Muslim lives a life that outdoes the non-Muslim, by his saying I am Muslim, will he go to the hereafter as a Muslim in that last breath? This is very hard. Why is this very hard? People who live in a way that outdoes the non-Muslims, with their pride and arrogance, unable to submit to Allah (?), and with their pride and arrogance, their other supporters, that is, the two-legged taghuts of the same mindset, that is, devils, supporting one another, content with their place in hell, denying being seen under the (?) of the religion of Islam, they go to the hereafter to take their place beside those supporters as deniers.

That is why it is very hard. To go rightly, in this world you will first perform your prayer. Just as prayer protects a person from many evils, even at the moment of death he says: I have prayed all my life for so long; would I, for their way, in any way abandon all this worship I did? And still with the light of faith he migrates to the hereafter. So these, however sinful they may be — since they finally go to the hereafter with faith, their end will be perfected in hell, and from there they will come out. What will the disbelievers say to the Muslims? Weren't you a Muslim? Why did you come here?

Why did you end up in this punishment? Since he went to the hereafter with the light of Islam, he will say to that disbeliever just this: I didn't do any of what my Lord told me. Maybe I did even worse things than you. I did even worse things than you. This punishment, this punishment my Lord gave me, is even too little, he will say — too little. He will speak under his Lord's justice. And Allah Almighty: O My servant, your nafs has been perfected. Come out of there, He will say to him. Come out of there. He will take him out of there. But as (?) sees the punishment, his rage will grow; so he will remain forever.

Because he went devoid of the light of faith. May Allah protect us.
