Translation

There is no deity but only Allah. There is no doubt that Allah will gather you on the Day of Judgment. Whose word is more truthful than Allah’s?

Tafsir

Allah is the only Creator of the universe, the only Creator and the absolute Powerful One, the only Deity, the only God, the Owner of all beings, the One who exists by His Essence, who was not born or created by any being, who has no equal, no equal, no equal, and no like, and who is the sole Creator of the universe and the absolute Powerful One.

Surely Allah has not created His creatures free and left them to their own whims. On the Day of Judgment, He will gather together those of His creatures who rebelled against Him, those who followed Satan and Taghut and committed polytheism, or those who obeyed Allah and His Messenger, and will call to account those who did or did not obey Allah's command. Allah is the One who knows the state of all His creatures, who has wisdom, who creates with wisdom in His knowledge, and who watches over the universe in order and regularity.

Allah, who is so sovereign and omnipotent over His creatures, declares that the Day of Resurrection will take place and that He will gather His creatures on that Day, and He says that no one should have any doubt about it. If man thinks, he will see that his existence in this world is endowed with knowledge. Every mind believes that someone created it. Because no being, not even a mote, can exist on its own. He realizes that just as there is a master and maker of the things that come out of human hands, there is a maker and creator of the things that do not come out of human hands, including himself, the heavens and the earth, and everything in between. And this is Allah. Allah does not speak idle talk, He does not recommend immodesty, indecency or lying, so Allah says in this verse.

(If Allah says, "Who is more truthful in speech than Allah," then you will not find any creature more truthful than Allah. When a person makes a promise to someone when he is a human being, when he fails to keep his promise, he is crushed and embarrassed and ashamed of the other person. But Allah! Who is the owner of so many beings, does He want to fail in His promise and embarrass His creatures? With this verse, Allah is again addressing mankind; O mankind! Be wise, reflect, this is a warning and an announcement from Allah who created you. Do not be deceived by your seeming irresponsibility in this world, you will be gathered in My presence on the Day of Judgment. You will surely be asked about what you did in this world. O people! Use your intellect and follow Allah and His Messenger so that you may find salvation. Otherwise, in the Hereafter, you will have pity on your own souls, Allah (swt) warns people.

What is said in the video

Surah An-Nisa, verse 87. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Allah, besides whom there is no god. Allah, besides whom there is no god. There is no god besides Him; He is self- subsisting. The name Hu means self-subsisting. La ilahe illa: there is no god besides Him. Who? Allah, that Allah who. Yes, being self-subsisting, not born of any being, not created, with none equal to Him, without partner or likeness, the sole Creator of the universe, besides whom there is no god, the Owner of all beings, He is the possessor of absolute power. Yes.

The word of Allah Almighty, (?) here. If there had been another god besides Allah, says our Lord, the one would take what he created and the other what he created. Everything would drown in corruption, He says. Yes.

So every letter, every letter is Allah's word anyway. On the letters.

Just know this word Allah. If we take it, if we remove the alif it becomes lillah; if we remove one of the lams, it becomes lehu; if we remove that lam too, it becomes hu. Always Allah, self-subsisting. There is no god besides Him. (?) He describes Himself beautifully. Yes, what does it say? Allah, besides whom there is no god, will surely gather you on the Day of Judgement, it says. The Day of Judgement; we said it earlier too, in a previous, an earlier verse, what do we say? O people! Every soul shall taste death and your return is to Me, it says.

In this case He will surely gather you on the Day of Judgement, it says. Will you stay forever in this world? Or that after death you will not (?), is that what you think? What does it say? Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

We created man from a lowly fluid. (?) as an open rebel, it says.

They say, it says: will these rotting bones come to life once more? Say to them, it says: for the One who created you first, creating last is not hard.

Is it harder to create first, or, after creating, to kill and then revive again? Well, say creating first is very hard, creating first. Then He puts seeds into what He created; those seeds, down to the fingertips, or in other vegetables and fruits, in all these plants we call nature, in the plant world, following the same (?), the same traces, produce its offspring. So in man too there is a cell that does not rot, does not break, does not burn.

We revealed to the world what it will consume of the human body and what it will not be able to consume. Yes, that cell it cannot consume. That cell is the seed of this matter called the human body. (?) at the Judgement, on the 6th layer, with that water called the (?) sea, it will be watered, and down to our fingertips, again with those same traces, with our fingerprints, we will come into being.

What does it say? He will surely gather you on the Day of Judgement, it says. There is no doubt at all about this. can there be doubt about this? Just look at man; a human is endowed with such secrets; with secrets: his eye, a Polaroid camera takes and gives instantly, but the Polaroid camera even (?); his ears a radio device; (?). His heart works like the spring of a clock. Everywhere, in that human body, all those organs, each separately in their duties, complement one another. And looking at their secrets, still unable to (?), people. Even if they were, they do not have the power to create them.

So did this order, this order of man come into being by itself?

So many creatures; and the people who deny Allah, those who say there is no Allah. What do they say? Through the change of the universe this animal turned into that, that animal into this. They can't say: Allah Almighty created this universe, created these eighteen thousand worlds and created beings to filter the world, to cleanse one another. If these beings had not been created to cleanse one another, (?) the world's balance would be upset, in filth, or in some microbe, or in some imbalance it would perish. This is our Lord's power. This order, this universe, this sky, the heavens, the sun, moon and earth system, in such a way that human power, human reason (?), the moon system placed in the sky, creating nothing in vain; in this case, that this universe has an owner, does this not show?

Well then, did the owner of this universe send us to the world saying, you, I created you, go there, eat, drink, live as you like, well, (?), know Me or don't, I created you anyway, you are My servant, I will feed you, give you drink, do as much evil as you like, I will forgive you? Or does He say, I will put all of you into Paradise? Does He say such a thing? What are you doing? He is the Owner of the worlds. O man. I created you capable. I gave you of My spirit. I gave you this spirit of Mine, which I gave to nothing else in the universe. I made you My addressee. And I willed to be known through you.

I speak with you. I sent you My word too. That is, the Holy Quran. Yes, so mind your manners and propriety, be mindful towards your elder, towards the One who created you, mind your speech, your words, be careful about My command. If you are going to fear someone, the One most worthy of being feared is Me, He says. If you are going to love someone, the One most worthy of being loved is also Me, He says. So never count the hereafter as a lie. Surely I will revive you after death, He says. So why did You send me to the world, my Allah? Why did I send you? At that address, Am I not your Lord, in that world of lahut, when I created your spirits, because I gave you a particle of My being, you saw Me as like yourself.

Although I told you I am your Lord, out of pride and arrogance you turned your back on Me. In your imagination you expected a lord. So, Allah Almighty, who is free of any deficient attribute: I will send you to a world where My being is not seen. This is what we call the unseen world, the world of this life. A world where our Lord is not seen. I will send you to the unseen world. You will believe in the unseen. In the unseen. That is, you will believe unseen in that One Allah you heard of. If you don't, if you don't believe in that one God you heard of, then the covenant you gave in the (?), as the plus of the script you had written, you will play it out in the world too and prove what kind of person you are, He says.

And Allah Almighty, who is free of any deficient attribute, creates these worlds and sends us to the world of dominion. To the world of dominion.

And we are unaware of there, because those places were closed; it is in the memory but closed off. Well then, when will we see it, if it is in the memory? When? In Surah Al-Waqi'ah. Fe levlâ izâ beleğati'l-hulkûm, ve entüm hînee'izin tenzurûn, ve nahnu akrabu ileyhi minküm ve lâkin lâ tubsırûn. It says. When the soul reaches the throat, when the relatives gather around him, when he waits for his soul to depart, when the soul reaches the throat, when the soul reaches the throat, when the gates of repentance close, you will see. Then you will see. Your saying alas will be worth nothing. My Allah, send me back once more.

See how I will worship You, when you say that. Even if We sent you back not once but several times more, you would (?) He says. There is no more return. Yes. So that hereafter is never to be doubted. never.

There is no doubt at all about this. Who is truer in word than Allah, it says.

Who could be truer in speech than Allah?

Because Allah is the Creator.

He has programmed His creatures until the Day of Judgement; there is no (?) He says, there is no (?) to come until the Day of Judgement that Allah Almighty does not know what it will do, He says. Does not know what it will do. In this case Allah Almighty will of course tell everything quite truly. Who is truer in speech than Allah, who is there, it says. Who is truer in speech than Allah? There is no one. There is no created being. Allah is truthful. And also the Beloved of the Almighty, the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Prophet, is faulty before Allah Almighty, complete before the worlds.

not born, not created, when we say equal to Him: equal, a person's equal, must be within his meaning to be his equal. Within His meaning there is no (?) because He is the Creator. Partner, partner; it would have to be similar to Him, of course, its creation. Without likeness; you know, likeness, as we say, for example, you have no equal either. That is, a very exalted, very learned, very great person. Without equal. Well, here when it says likeness, it is (?) from the attributes not. People imagine it that way. Partner and likeness. That is, no being is equal to Him.

Being the sole Creator of the universe, besides whom there is no god, the Owner of all beings, Allah is an absolute Owner. Where does His power come from? Because even an atom of His creation is under His rule, because He keeps it under His rule. Of course Allah, having created His creatures not to run wild, those who in their own desire and again following Satan and the taghut, rebels against Him, associate partners, or those who obey Allah and His Messenger, He will gather together again on the Day of Judgement and of their conduct, of the one who carried out the divine command or did not, account He will ask.

Whatever it is, whoever it is, He will ask account of them all. Allah, knowing the state of all His creatures, being All-Wise, creating with wisdom within His knowledge, is the One who makes the universe run in order and regularity.

Allah, who is thus ruler over and capable over His creatures, announcing that the Day of Judgement will come to pass and that He will gather His creatures that day, commands: let no one ever have any doubt about this. If a person thinks, seeing that (?) of his being in the world (?), every mind, that someone created him, believes. Because no being comes about by itself. Just as every object made by human hands has a master and a maker, if what is not made by human hands, including man himself, the earths and the heavens and what is between them, were created, this too has a maker and creator. And that is Allah.

Allah does not speak idly, does not recommend shamelessness, indecency, lying. So we say that in this verse Allah: who is truer in word than Allah commands, we say. Allah Almighty says. So the part I explained earlier, here we wrote it word by word.

A person, while human, when he gives someone his word and does not keep it, is crushed, saddened, and ashamed before the other. And Allah, He is the Owner of so many beings; would there be deficiency in His word, would He want to be ashamed before His creatures? With this verse Allah again addresses people. O people, be wise, reflect; this is a warning and announcement to you from Allah who created you. Do not be deceived by seeming free of responsibility in this world. Through death, on the Day of Judgement you will be gathered in the divine presence. Surely you will be asked about what you did in the world.

O people! Use your reason. Follow Allah and His Messenger so that you may find salvation. Otherwise in the hereafter you will have ruined yourselves through your own nafs; thus Allah warns people.
