An-Nisa 61: When they are told to come to what Allah has sent down and to Allah’s Messenger, you will see that the hypocrites will distance themselves from you completely.

Surah An-Nisa, verse 61: when they are told: come to what Allah has sent down, to the Book and to the Messenger, let us refer to them — you see the hypocrites turning far away from you. Yes, because they, to what Allah sent down and, (?), to the Prophet will never bow their necks, because they will not accept what he says, because no fatwa will be given on what pleases their nafs, they thoroughly move away from there.

The hypocrites — come to the Book Allah sent down and to His Messenger. Who are the hypocrites? First let's define the hypocrite. A hypocrite: someone who adapts to the community he comes into and appears that way. For example, if the community he comes to is Muslim, he too appears Muslim. When he goes to people like himself, they say: we will mock them, we will ridicule them, and they say: we are with you. Yet he is neither with these nor with those. These are hypocrites. Wherever they go, they try to (?) like this pen of mine. Their interests — (?). They try to get under the beard, under the arm of the people from whom they will benefit, they try. They flatter them.

To benefit from them. They appear to have his mentality. These are the hypocrites. In reality, not having that mentality, with their own reason following neither the truth nor the other — such people. Hypocrites. Come to the Book Allah sent down and to His Messenger. When told: resolve your difficulties by referring to them, they in this case move away from Allah and His Messenger completely. Their moving away from Allah's commands is because, out of their pride and arrogance, they do not bow to Allah. One, as I said earlier, since they know no decision will be made in favour of their own interests, since they know the decision will be made where their nafs won't be pampered, they never want to be judged from them, before them; they move away.

Because they cannot bear a decision against them, and at the same time have a character that will accept nothing they dislike — that is why.

They cannot accept anything against them. For this reason, to anything that doesn't suit their own calculations they give no consent. Allah's justice, however, separates the one in the right from the one in the wrong. It gives everyone his due. These are not like that. Right or wrong, they will always come out right. For this reason, those in the wrong find taghuts, people who will side with them, and want to be judged before them.

Yes.

Although Allah Almighty calls people to guidance and grants them life, these constantly move away from Allah. Once seeds of rebellion and denial are sown in the hearts of such people — where? Back at Kalu Bela. In that address, Elestü bi-Rabbiküm. Every person, with his own partial will, from Allah Almighty desiring his aim, and in return for that aim our Lord giving them characters and writing their destiny. That's where they finished the matter. We all finished it there anyway. But those places have been closed to us. We cannot know what will be one second from now. Now, if we are governed by our Lord's verses, if we hold them before us as evidence (?), then since we have been graced by our Lord's word, since we did what He said, we will have attained our Lord's mercy.

It is impossible for those people to find the truth, that is, once a flag of rebellion is raised in their hearts, that they could enter the right path — impossible. Because in their destiny is to live the life of their own aims; and Allah in pre-eternity wrote what they liked as their destiny. For this reason, since people, by changing their life lines, do not have the ability to reform, they bring themselves — that is, the lives of their wishes and desires — in proportion to their aims out into the open. What does our Lord say? Unless We will, you cannot will. That is, with Us there is a book, preserved in the Levh-i Mahfuz.

Nothing is later added to it nor taken from it. Whatever you desired in the (?) barzakh, at Kalu Bela, your wishes and desires, We, in no way removing your will from over you and using My will over you, wrote your wishes and desires, your aims, as your destiny, and as characters placed them. Pay attention: in the material world everyone has a wish, a desire, an aim. And he desires that aim in proportion to his character. And Allah Almighty, as Creator, at every moment creates causes in the world according to the wishes and desires of these beings. Those people with their own will, these creatures with their own desires, or in the way Allah Almighty programmed, apart from humans, apart from humans and jinn, living their lives in the way programmed, people prove what kind of beings they are.

Yes.

For this reason no one is able to change his own character. You can't change it anyway. Now, to a non-Muslim who will not believe, to a non-Muslim who will not believe, even if you joined heaven and earth together, he still never believes. What great magic this is, he says. Like the seven miracles Moses showed Pharaoh. Yes. Each time: I believed. In Moses' Lord, he said. Still he did what he was going to do. So characters are like that. They will live. Everyone will prove what kind of person he is.

This is what I am — they hold those around them as witnesses to themselves. In a verse Allah Almighty — without proving what kind of person you are, did you think you would just say it? He decrees, it says.

Allah Almighty, giving partial will into people's own hands, willed that they know their Lord by their own will. Allah Almighty, despite knowing what all people will do, (?) the people He sent (?), now (?) say this: So is this world a world of imagination? A lost world? it says. When we say a lost world, the material world doesn't get lost, of course. An outward world. When we say a lost world, we mean: in a world where our Lord is not seen we live. A lost world. Belief in the unseen (gayb), it says, doesn't it? If it's not 'lost' but belief in the unseen, can we, (?) this verse, say that we live in a lost world?

Then where do we live? We live (?). Is that so? (?), that's so. But when people don't want to understand, by all kinds of crafty ways they try to find excuses. Yes.

Allah Almighty, giving partial will into people's own hands, by their own will, willed that they know — that they know their Lord. Allah Almighty, despite knowing what all people will do, letting the people He sent to a lost world live in this foreign and strange world in a dwelling and guesthouse, by teaching people what they don't know and showing them the truth, has placed responsibility on people. People, however, when invited to Allah's verses, they distance from Allah. They move away. Although our Lord knows Himself so well, although He made Himself known, people still from Allah Almighty keep moving away.

Here is Allah Almighty's verse: (?) they turn their backs. To which? Do you never use your reason? Do you never reflect? They neither use their reason nor reflect.
