A. Metin Saruhan · 9 November 2017 · An-Nisa

Translation

Oh you believers! Take your precautions, go forth in separate detachments, (or if necessary) fight altogether.

Tafsir

(O you who believe, take precautions) this verse does not mean that you should take precautions to cause mischief or mischief on the earth, but that you should take precautions against those who will cause mischief and mischief on the earth, who will shed blood unjustly, who will be enemies of Allah and His Messenger, and who will oppress the oppressed and the poor.

Allah (swt) commands people to live in peace and harmony. In order for people to rule with justice on earth and not to oppress anyone, people must first become Muslims and be ruled by Allah's laws so that people can rule with justice on earth. This requires a certain amount of force.

That is, if you are not able to fight against the oppressors on earth, then unite as a whole, whether you fight in divisions or all together if necessary. Let not the oppressed be deprived of their homeland or their property, and let them not become colonies of the oppressors and suffer oppression. For this, be ready for war. If you are powerless against a disobedient people and those who are stubborn, O Muslims! Take your stand with your brothers. Fight them until they call him to the truth and he becomes a Muslim, or until you forbid them to oppress an oppressed people against them. This is the justice of Allah. Allah does not intend injustice to His creatures. Even if he denies Him in this world, He gives him his sustenance for a lifetime to bear witness to Allah and protects him from injustice.

Allah (swt) protects His creatures against the powerful and the oppressors by endowing them with various emotions. Allah warns people with His Verses. He foretells the events that will happen. Because He has programmed the worlds against the actual actions of human beings. He has placed the free will in the hands of man. Whoever obeys the Verses that Allah warns, the way He calls and follows Allah's command, they will find salvation. If the opposite happens, they will be torn into pieces and swallowed in bite after bite. May Allah grant vigilance to Muslims.

What is said in the video

We come to the 71st verse. The 71st verse.

Yes.

O you who believe! Take your precautions. Go out to battle in detachments. Or, when necessary, all together fight.

You know, some say the verses are specific to past times, they do not address the present.

The verses of Allah Almighty, to the past, the present and the future, they speak. (?). It has no past. This is our Lord's language of speech.

What does it say? O you who believe, take your precautions. Of course we will take precautions. Look, today Turkey's surroundings (?). Israel, the sedition of the earth, is stirring up everything. This is sedition. Other states are using their power. They unite among themselves. To eliminate those who do not suit them, they attack them with pretexts. With pretexts. They deceive the poor, wretched people among them. The foolish who know nothing of themselves, who do not use their minds, they make commit treason against their homeland, deceive them and drive them into rebellion against their homeland.

And they lose both their lives and their homelands, both their honour and their dignity. Today our surroundings are in this state. Who does this? These are the games played by people whose interests are opposed. It goes against their interests. For this reason Allah Almighty warns the Muslim. O you who believe!

Take your precautions. If necessary, fight all together. If necessary, fight in detachments. That is, depending on the situation. But take your precautions.

O you who believe! Take your precautions. What is meant by this verse. It does not mean that, to drown the earth in corruption or mischief, (?), you should take your precautions. Against those who will drown the earth in sedition and mischief, shed blood unjustly, being enemies of Allah and His Messenger, and oppress the wronged and helpless, take your precautions, He commands. Against the (?), in a way that would destroy them, the rights of the wronged in a way that would target them, the helpless people who would make them work as slaves for them, against them, an order of precautions. Today on earth people's fears: the world's rotation around its own axis slowing, the glaciers melting, some continents being flooded by waters; so they look for a place for themselves. They look for a place.

Wherever they look, let them look, let them look.

(?) will not be lifted from over their heads. It is (?) to Allah, that Doomsday will come. Yes. That is why people on earth, that is, those who know the truth, like this will take their precautions against oppression. What did the Ottomans do? They were strong. Wherever they went, they brought truth and justice. Those who (?) called the Ottomans barbarians. Barbarian. The Ottomans were not barbarians. They protected truth and justice on earth.

Those who were wronged asked the Ottomans for help. Help.

You know the army of Suleiman the Magnificent.

On the Vienna campaign the army enters a vineyard and eats the grapes.

(?), when the owner of the vineyard comes, he sees the grapes are gone, but shiny gold coins are swinging from the branches of the vine. They paid attention to halal and haram and never violated anyone's rights. Such an army. But it made the world tremble. With what? (?). Because they spread truth and justice on earth. But those who do not know themselves called them barbarians. And deceiving some people among us too, as if it were supposedly history, having them call them, the Turks, barbarians, they deceive. In fact the barbarians are none other than themselves; every ten years they launched Crusades. Every ten years they attacked the Ottomans.

Crusades to destroy. Yes. Therefore, since Allah Almighty will keep His religion, His light alive until Doomsday, what does He say to Islam? O you who believe! Take your precautions. Because until Doomsday, of the people outside Islam who hold various ideologies, He knows their hostility to Islam. Because He has programmed these worlds. For this reason He warns Islam. He warns Islam. Yes. He tells both Islam and other people: take your precautions.

Allah Almighty commands people to live in peace and reconciliation. Yes. Do not be the (?) of the earth, He says. You were all created from a single soul, He says. But those who fall into division, on top of that, they, the earth, to drown it in mischief. As if they would never die on earth, sir, usurping people's rights and laws, oppressing them, taking their property from their hands, people who see themselves as elevated to a certain level.

The strong, against the weak, sir, as if the right to live were the strong one's; as human beings the right to live is the strong one's, the weak one working for him as a slave, as his slave, and that (?) of those people, that strong one. People who value themselves this way by worldly goods. In this case, those who do harm to themselves, to their own selves. Yet the strong among people are so by their faith. It is in Allah's sight. Because our Lord created us all. We are beings our Lord created. Our being strong consists only in our being with Allah. Only if we are with Allah are we strong. Indeed, when we pass from this world to the hereafter, our owner, our trustee, our guardian, Allah suffices for us. Yes.

Therefore we, different from the mentality of other people, are people who take refuge in Allah, who protect truth and justice on earth. To win our Lord's pleasure we are obliged to behave this way.

Yes. What are we saying? Allah Almighty commands people to live in peace and reconciliation. For people to rule with justice on earth and not oppress anyone, people must first become Muslim and be governed by Allah's laws, so that people rule with justice on earth. For this a certain strength is needed. A certain strength, that is, military units and weapons, ammunition are needed. When the people around you grow strong in weapons, and you too cannot reach that, by staying weak you end up powerless. Today the earth is arming. People, from satellites, as they wish, can strike any point they want, they can strike it.

In this case the Muslims have fallen far behind.

For us to be able to measure up to those around us, we must work very hard. Both in worldly and otherworldly matters. Worldly, both in our social life and, to match other states, so that we can catch up with the technology of those advanced states, we must work to possess that technology, so that we are equal. What does it say? Work hard, says Allah Almighty. Work hard. So that, He says, they fear you and you are at ease, or they envy you and become Muslims, He says. Yes, for example, Fatih, the Conqueror, having the cannons cast and destroying the Byzantine Empire, reaching the most advanced stage of the technology of the age.

So today, with some states advancing in technology, because they are not honoured with the religion of Islam, because our Lord calls them lying unbelievers, and because of the people He describes as the sedition of the earth, today the earth faces many injustices, the people of the earth; of course there is no soul and life in the earth. Rather, the people living on earth face injustice, unfairness. Therefore the only power that can remove this injustice and unfairness is faith, that is, Islam. Therefore Islam must be very strong, so that the earth too can be at ease. But the time, the time when, as Allah Almighty puts it so beautifully, when they go a bit further and begin to commit injustice, what will happen to you? Allah Almighty says weapons will become unable to fire.

Weapons will become unable to fire. What does that mean? It means the slowing of the earth's rotation around its own axis, the magnetism at the North Pole decreasing. With this decrease compasses will deviate, and from where they sit they will not be able to strike where they want. So again face-to-face war will begin. Like a (?). And Allah Almighty informs them. What does He say? They fight only from behind fortified strongholds, He says. From behind fortified strongholds. These fortified strongholds He mentions will be removed. Then Allah will continue His light like this until Doomsday.

With weapons unable to fire.

Let us put one more point here. Hazrat Mahdi will appear at this time.

Hazrat Mahdi will come at this time. Hazrat Jesus will come at this time. They declare themselves Mahdi. They attack us, you know, saying this man brought spirits back. Saying this man, sir, does this, does that. So with those weapons unable to fire, Hazrat Mahdi and Hazrat Jesus will appear. Whoever says Hazrat Mahdi has appeared and is living is a deviant. He is a person unaware of himself. As far as I have heard, some religious leader, we will call him. Who is not a religious leader. The leader of a false (?). Hazrat Mahdi is alive. The priests supposedly know this. Yes. And if the priests know, it means he himself knows too.

Well, if he himself knows, where is Hazrat Jesus? Well, where are these signs? Hazrat Mahdi will come at the time when weapons do not fire.

And the world is heading towards that. Each year the world, around its own axis, 2 or 3 seconds, 5 seconds, to 10 seconds it has gone up. Its slow rotation. When in this way the world, around its own axis, comes to the zero point, the sun will set from the west, rise from the west. That is, the world will begin to turn the other way. What does this mean? It means that in the magnetism of the north and south poles there will be a change in their (?), that is what it means. The change in the magnetism of the North Pole has begun. How has it begun? With the tearing, the holing of the ozone layer, the sun's ultraviolet rays have begun to erase the magnetism at the North Pole.

With tsunami waves the world has also begun to wobble as it turns on its axis.

In this case the wobbling does not affect it much, but the North Pole's magnetism decreasing, being erased, affects this situation. And finally, when it turns back at the zero point, the South Pole's magnetism keeps its mass, the North Pole's magnetism loses itself, and the world in the opposite direction, when it starts to spin it fast, then the verses begin to appear. What does it say? When the mountains pass like clouds, when the seas swell, when the earth casts out what is inside it, when the sky like molten metal (?). How beautiful, knowledge, knowledge. When the world turning on its own axis bursts due to centrifugal force, then the world cast out what was inside it.

Where? When the magma layer comes out from beneath the seas, the seas swelled. Swelled. How beautiful the knowledge Allah Almighty tells. Everything in the most beautiful way. Not the nonsense people tell. If you pay attention, we always tell you in the light of the verses. So when is Hazrat Mahdi to come? He will come when weapons do not fire. There is still time. There is still time. There, we are saying it. There is still time. Yes. So, we, so His saying fight in detachments or, when necessary, all together: in general, against people who will oppress, if your strength is not enough, unite all together.

What is this all together? Unite together with the Islamic states. Unite together with the Islamic states. Do not separate from them. Look, according to this verse, the enemies of religion portray the Islamic states as enemies of one another. They speak ill of them to drive them apart. They portrayed the Turks to the Arabs as unbelievers. Unbelievers. (?), the Turks were unbelievers. That is how they portrayed it. And to us they portrayed the Arabs as dirty Arabs. That is, we are greater than them, or more mature, or more advanced, or more civilized, or we have a superhuman life. They are dirty, dirty; clean.

But do you know what dirty is? Dirty, if they knew the meaning of dirty. In fact dirty: outside Islamic ideology, Islamic thought, all those people are dirty.

What is it? All people outside Islam are dirty. Because their (?) ritual impurity they cannot remove. Even if they wash, according to the verse that deeds depend on intentions, since their impurity does not go away, they are dirty sons of dirty. They are dirt itself. The Muslim is not dirty; he is pure and (?), he is spotless. Because they wash according to deeds, according to their intentions, and become spotless. Yes, so if we move away from our religion, they mislead us and deceive us like this. And over time they put those non-Muslims, who are like clowns, over us as superiors. In our time, the non-Muslims, we were children.

And they would even go "hihi" like this to us. If they passed by us, we would look down on (?), look down. Because they are non-Muslims, unbelievers. We would look down on them. Today they have become our superiors. With what? Like this, underhandedly, like a wolf, with words, words, words and words, with word games they led us along. Today people have an admiration for Europe. Today people have an admiration, sir, for putting foreign-language words on their workplaces. Hey, you should not envy them; they should envy you.

You are the most beloved person of the Lord who created the worlds. You, according to the verse the Lord who created the worlds gave you, according to His verse in which He says, We will make you witnesses over them, according to that verse, if you envy them, how will you be a witness over them? I will make your Prophet a witness over the other prophets, and you a witness over them, He says. Yes, in this case we have given up on ourselves. We have come to not knowing ourselves. They brought us to it, that is, with word games. Words, words that seem good to the mind. Words that follow their minds, contrary to the verses.

In this case a person has given up his identity, that is, his Muslim identity, and has been deceived. Today on earth he has entered the room of the most backward states.

So that the homelands or property of the wronged are not taken from their homes, and they are not made the colonies of the oppressors and dragged off, Allah Almighty tells people: fight in detachments or all together. So for this, be ready for war. Against a heart that does not listen and those who are stubborn, if your strength is not enough, O Muslims, all together, take your place beside your brothers. Beside your brothers. You know, sometimes our mujahideen used to go to other states for jihad; may Allah be pleased with them. Yes, one will leave this world anyway. Three days earlier, three days later, makes no difference.

What makes the difference? Our Lord receiving him in a way that pleases Allah, that is the difference. They will be welcomed there with smiling faces. Yes. So for this, be ready for war. All together, take your place beside your brothers. Until you call him to the truth and he becomes Muslim, or until their yes opposite, they are stopped from tormenting a wronged people, fight them. This is Allah's justice. Allah does not will oppression for His creatures. Even if he denies Him in this world, that is, even if that person denies Allah in this world, oppression is not willed for him in the world. Because he will live within his own will, and after proving to himself what kind of person he is, he will be accountable to Allah Almighty.

Yes.

even if he denies Him in this world, He gives him his sustenance for a lifetime so that he holds himself as a witness to Allah, and protects them from oppression; Allah Almighty, bestowing various feelings on people, protects His creatures against the strong and the oppressors; these words are the meaning of the verse Elhamdülillahi Rabbil Alemin. Yes. I praise Allah, the Owner of the worlds. Because He gave to me from a part, and created me very honoured. Again I praise the Lord of the worlds, who, sir, in this world made me the vicegerent of the earth. Again I praise the Lord of the worlds that He, throughout my whole life, will protect me from evils, give me life until the end of my life, and make what kind of person I am a witness to Himself.

Yes, meaning by meaning it changes. Elhamdülillahi Rabbil alemin; praise be to the Lord with His worlds. So He will protect the wronged from the oppression of the oppressor. Allah Almighty, bestowing various feelings on people, protects His creatures against the strong and the oppressors. Allah warns people with His verses. He announces events to come in advance. Because the worlds, in view of the actual deeds people will do, have been programmed. Yes.

He has given the partial will into man's hand. Whoever obeys the verses with which Allah warns, the way He calls to, and heeds Allah's command, they find well-being. The reason: Allah created man deficient in intellect. Our Lord teaches people what they do not know. Yes. Allah Almighty teaches people what they do not know.

In this case, since man is deficient in intellect, and Allah Almighty, who programmed the worlds until Doomsday, is aware of everything, of every atom, no mind, (?), even if they gathered, could either harm Allah or understand His wisdom. Because the Creator created these worlds and programmed them until Doomsday. In this case, since Allah Almighty created the human mind deficient, He has shown them ways with His verses. Out of darkness, out of swamps, into the light He tries to bring them. But man turns his back on Allah, and taking Allah's verses lightly, sets out with his own mind. As long as he turns his back on those verses, his own mind being deficient and faulty, he sinks into swamps. So man suffers oppression.

Whereas had he been governed by the verses of Allah Almighty, our Lord showing him such bright paths, being his guide, desiring to bring that person to salvation, despite this, if a person turns his back on the verses, then they wrong their own selves. Their own selves. Yes. Allah does not want people to suffer oppression. He does not will oppression for them. What does He say? Every soul will be called to account for what its two hands earned. Today, He says, that is, on that day, on that Day of Resurrection, what you have earned, as the return for your two hands, will be given to you in full, He says. In this case our Lord, to one who denies Him in this world, even gives sustenance, keeps him alive, protects him until a certain lifespan, and after a person has proved what kind of person he is, when his life is complete, he passes on to the hereafter.

So a person, with his feelings toward Allah Almighty, has proved himself. Had he obeyed Allah, he would be governed by his Lord's verses; peace is in Islam, according to the verse. Peace is in Islam. That person would live in peace in this moment. For us to find peace, we will pay attention to this. We will take precautions, and in destiny we will lean our backs fully on Allah. We will always be content with what comes from Him. Because we will hold fast to the verse: He does not load onto our backs what we cannot carry. According to this verse we will trust our Lord. He, how beautiful He is, a friend, a support; how beautiful a Master He is.

He is merciful toward His creatures. We will lean on this, and when we submit to Allah, those people, even if they were (?) between two millstones in this world, that peace will not let him feel that oppression, that pain it will not let him feel. As long as you are with Allah. yes, Allah warns people with His verses, announces the events to come in advance, because in view of the actual deeds people will do He has programmed the worlds; He has given the partial will into man's hand; whoever obeys the verses with which Allah warns, the way He calls to, and heeds Allah's command, they attain salvation.

If the opposite of this occurs, they are divided piece by piece and swallowed morsel by morsel. May Allah grant us all this (?), we said. Here we meant this. We meant this. We passed over it in veiled terms. What did we say? If the opposite of this occurs, they are divided piece by piece and swallowed morsel by morsel. In the depths of time, the Turks were apparently the ones who raided China. The Chinese got fed up. They built the Great Wall of China. And they say this to the Turks: We will make you into morsels and into pieces. We will swallow you morsel by morsel. That is, we will sow sedition among you.

We will set you against one another. Against one another. And you, with differences of opinion, will break away from one another. And when you become like that, (?), we will begin to swallow you, they say.

And look what Allah Almighty says in His verse. O you who believe, preserve your unity and togetherness. There is strength in unity, He says. Strength. They know these things. So they sow sedition among the Muslims and make them morsel by morsel, piece by piece. Those made into pieces are swallowed morsel by morsel. They have instilled in us a very nice saying. Let the snake that does not touch us live a thousand years. Look. How nice. That is where they sow the sedition. Let the snake that does not touch you live a thousand years. It did not touch you. Whom did it touch? It touched your brother. Once it has swallowed him, it will touch you too.

Because the hungry is never full; it will come to you too. Oh, how nicely they (?) these. And they made us swallow it too. Yes.
