Tafsir
Allah (swt) created the souls of human beings in the realm of heaven. Then He made a covenant with them and lifted our souls to the realm of Berzah. When He sends each soul in turn to the realm of property, Allah Ta'ala teaches people what they do not know and declares His Verses, so as not to hold anyone responsible for what He has not announced. He wants to lead us to the paths of the good people who have gone before us.
Humans are created mentally incomplete, so they cannot know that what they are doing is sinful. They may sin unknowingly, thinking that they are doing good deeds. Or people may live in ignorance of Allah (swt) and not recognize Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw) and enter into the swamp of sin. In this respect, Allah (swt) wants to forgive people for their sins by introducing them to His existence and directing them to Him. As the Creator, Allah (swt) loves His creatures so much that He is compassionate and merciful to them. He wants to forgive them.
(Allah is All-Knowing.) Because Allah has created all beings. Allah, whose will is in His own hands and who gives His will and desire to Himself as a destiny, is surely the All-Knowing of His creation. And He has wisdom towards His creatures.
What is said in the video
A believer is something else. We come to the 26th verse.
Allah wants, to you, to explain what you do not know, and you to lead to the ways of the good ones before you. Here there are mistakes. We will correct them. Not lead. Show, and your sins He wants to forgive. Allah truly knows. He is the only One with wisdom.
Let us correct this part too. Not lead, for this. Now what does it say here? To show the ways, the ways of the good ones. Yes. And your sins He wants to forgive, it says.
As we always say, those new to listening to us struggle a bit, of course; the new listeners, for them too there is a need to explain a little, so. Allah Almighty created human reason deficient. I said it just now. Since He gave a part of His essence, if He had created man flawless, He would have created beings equal to His essence. Therefore Allah Almighty created human reason deficient. And in His verse He says: If you had never made mistakes, We would (?) you, and in your place servants who make mistakes We would create, it says. These are verses. So, since Allah Almighty created human reason deficient, and since He created man very honourable, and of created beings he is the most excellent, so that man from ignorance (?) is rescued, and to teach him what he does not know, Allah sends prophets, scholars and His verses.
What does it say anyway? Allah wants to explain to you what you do not know, and to show you the ways of the good ones before you and to forgive your sins. Allah knows with truth, and He is the only One with wisdom.
We will tell you. Yes. Allah Almighty created people's souls in the realm of lahut. Then, making a covenant with them, He raised our souls to the realm of barzakh. Look. Pay attention here. Does anything I say contradict anything else I say? Pay close attention.
The words all support one another. This is the Quran (?). Hodja, you said this there, and that here. No one can say that. Yes.
What does it say now? Allah Almighty created people's souls in the realm of lahut. Then, making a covenant with them, He raised our souls to the realm of barzakh. When He sends each soul whose turn has come to the material world, for a thing He has not made known, anyone so as not to hold responsible, Allah Almighty teaches people what they do not know, and declares His verses. What was it? Teaching what they do not know, that is, teaching here what they do not know: For a thing I have not made known, anyone I do not call to account. It corresponds to that verse. The verses always support one another.
Now, what does it say next?
He declares His verses. That is, He explains them as they are.
To send us to the ways of the good people who lived before us, to show, He wants to show those ways. To show us the ways of the good people before us He wants. Not the ways of the wicked. Yes.
If we correct this part too.
Since people were created deficient in reason, that the things they will do are sins they do not know. Deficient in reason, as we said just now. What did we say, what does Allah Almighty say? If you had never committed mistakes, We would destroy you and create servants who commit mistakes, it says. So why did we say He created it deficient? Since He gave a part of His soul, He created it as the (?) of His essence. So with deficient reason we will make mistakes, we will know our helplessness. We will know that we need Allah. We will know we cannot do without Him. We will ask Allah for pardon and forgiveness.
Yes, since people, deficient in reason, were created, that the things they will do are sins they cannot know.
Unknowingly, thinking they are doing good, they may commit sins. Isn't it so? A person sins thinking he is doing good.
Or people, living unaware of Allah, Allah and His Messenger not knowing, may have sunk into a swamp of sin. Therefore Allah Almighty, by making Himself known to people, by directing them to Himself, wants to forgive the sins people have committed. By directing them to Himself. With what? By showing the good ways. Yes, He wants to forgive them, people. And until the soul comes up to the throat, until the hereafter appears to that person, Allah Almighty accepts people's pleas for pardon and forgiveness, but the moment the hereafter appears, then, in your power (?), you are near it, aren't you, We are nearer still, according to the verse in which He says this, they, when they say, Send us back again, see how we will worship You, Even if We sent you back not once but several times more, you would do the same thing, He says; according to that verse, see how great is Allah Almighty's pardon and forgiveness toward people.
Yes.
Therefore Allah Almighty, by making Himself known to people, by directing them to Himself, wants to forgive the sins people have committed. Since Allah Almighty, as Creator, loves His creatures greatly, He is compassionate and merciful to them. He wants to forgive them. Yes. Allah knows the truth. That is, He is free from deficient attributes. He never wrongs anything He created. Allah is justice itself. Truth itself. Because Allah Almighty created all beings. Allah, who gives each one whose will is in his own hands his desire and wish as his destiny, surely gives His creatures their due. And toward His creatures He is All-Wise.
