Ali 'Imran 176: (Oh My Messenger!) Those who compete in denial should not worry you. Those who are in denial do not have any share in the hereafter by the side of Allah. For them, there is a severe punishment.

Surah Al Imran, verse 176. The verse. What does it say in the verse? "My Messenger, let not those who race into denial grieve you." Allah Almighty, look at the verse. "Let not those who race into denial grieve you." That is, here: I sent you as a mercy to the worlds.

Did I perhaps fail to do my duty, could I not bring them to the right path, and they still persist in denial: let this not grieve you, because every soul will live its own destiny. If Allah does not will, no one can will. And Allah Almighty has (?) everything, and He has no further willing over people; in this case everyone will live their destiny. O My Beloved, your duty is only to convey, He says. To convey; everyone will live their own destiny. Yes, "My Messenger, let not those who race into denial grieve you. For they cannot harm Allah in the least." Those deniers, those who say there is no Allah, who boast of their lineage and ancestry, who say: with our wealth and possessions nothing will happen to us. If there is a Paradise, it is our right.

"The deniers have no share in the hereafter with Allah.

For them there is a painful torment," says Allah Almighty. Yes.

If you notice, in our talks, in spoken language, the meanings of the verses: we always speak the verses.

Allah Almighty to His Beloved: "My Messenger, let not those who race into denial grieve you. For they cannot harm Allah in the least." (?) cannot harm Allah, He says. Because Allah has power over all things. Every particle He created, within His own power, He has power over it, that is, He created it within His decree. That is why He says: He has power over all things. None of the created beings. From the particle to the globe, they cannot harm Allah.

Allah, who programmed this universe with a program, will keep the religion of Islam alive until the Day of Judgment. Until the Day of Judgment. In one verse: do they think they will extinguish Allah's light with their mouths? Allah will complete His light until the Day of Judgment. Yes. So do not grieve. As long as they continue in their denial, they will bring out their own qualities. They will prove what kind of people they are. You will fulfil your duty. You will tell them the truth. What does it say? Had you been harsh with them, today you would not find any of those who visit you at your side, He says.

So according to this verse the religion of Islam will remain until the Day of Judgment; you should not mind and grieve over the massacres they commit against Islam or the efforts they develop to destroy Islam, He says. Do not grieve. According to the verse in which He says they cannot harm Allah in the least, no power and no might can spoil Allah Almighty's program. That is why their efforts are in vain, He says. In vain. That is, all the fine works they did have gone to waste, He says. To waste. But their shedding the blood of Islam, committing massacres, committing oppression, is their oppressing their own selves.

The greater an oppressor a person is towards people, the greater an oppressor he is towards his own self.

For example, Pharaoh. Today We will leave your lifeless body as a lesson to the worlds, says Allah Almighty. If Pharaoh (?) Allah and commits oppression, then Allah too (?). And what does He say in His verse? What does Allah Almighty say in His verse?

Torment is upon him until the Day of Judgment. What does He say about the severest torment? After that Day of Reckoning. So here Allah Almighty says that he suffers the torment of the grave. The torment of the grave. So even if anyone torments anyone, it is a passing torment, but those who torment should not forget that they torment their own selves. Let them not pretend not to know. What a torment on their own selves.

"The deniers have no share at all with Allah." That is, all the fine works they did have gone to waste. Why did they go to waste? Did they have no value at all? They do not. Because Allah, so that His Essence be known, left man alone with his own will. He wanted His Essence to be known through the decisions man would make. So, by giving him a part of His spirit, as a little of Himself, He created man. Do not take my words and cheapen them. We are the created ones.

My words are a bit heavy and people may not understand. We are speaking deeply here. In this case, people who have a part of His spirit will surely also have certain qualities. Fame, renown, pride, arrogance, ego, grandeur, egotism, love of the world: all of these will be there. So as long as a person masters these, as long as he masters his nafs in these things listed, he rises in Allah's sight.

However much worship they do, that is, according to their own reason, within their own beliefs, within their ideologies, however much they perform the worship that deceives them... All that they have earned, or the services they have done for humanity, will have gone to waste. The reason: Allah Almighty created man so that His Essence be known within (?) awareness, gave him a part of His own spirit and left man free in his will. In this case He used no force on man.

If in this case man turns his back on Allah, does not recognise his own Creator and sets out to associate partners with Him,

because he goes against the purpose of creation, even if he had as much reward as this world, as much again as a world, the purpose of creation, however: such sins he has committed, not worlds, not universes, since he earned sin with a weight greater than that, this sin took away all the rewards he had earned, and in the hereafter, alone and forsaken, he remained. So the deniers have no share at all with Allah. The good they did was also scattered away like carded cotton. Allah Almighty invites them to Islam, the true religion. He sends prophets and books. He gives them a life and, within these lives, their sustenance in abundance.

In this case they rebel against Allah. They eat the sustenance Allah gave them in perfect health. Then they deny their Lord.

So such people flee from the mercy of the hereafter that their Lord pours down, fitting Allah into their own reason, they decide by themselves in place of Allah. They do not like Allah's verses, they make their own laws themselves as their own reason shows, they live far from Allah. And Allah Almighty keeps His mercy away from them in the hereafter. Since they will be alone there, since they have no share left to receive from Allah in the hereafter, because of their denial, as the continuation of the verse says: "For them there is a painful torment," He says. Yes.

Pardon?

(?): Hodja, I think this verse is one of the corrected verses; in other translations it reads: Allah does not want to give them any share in the hereafter, wants not to give it, it says. Let's see, my child. Has it been corrected? It is already corrected here. I am reading you the corrected form. The corrected form. Well, Surah Al Imran, verse 176. The verse, I suppose.

Yes, we corrected it here. And we did not write what we corrected as wrong either. That is, as we said, more verses keep coming up, but we corrected it here. Well, 170, Surah Al Imran, let's look here. Is it truly as our son Ender says, or here, did we in this way, did they write it right, did we write it right? Let's look here as well. Because some verses are given correctly in some places.

"Let not those who race into denial grieve you. For they cannot harm Allah in the least. Allah wants not to give them any share in the hereafter." Yes, it is corrected. We corrected it here. Let's look at the thing. Ones we did not put in the translation, as we said there are 15-20 of them. Twenty, twenty-five of them. But the same things. Let's also look at the translations we corrected. Well, a good place. If not, let's add it to the mistakes section too. Let's add it to the mistakes section.

Fifty-nine. Surah Al Imran.

176. 174. Surah Al Imran.

Yes. "My Messenger, let not those who race into denial grieve you. For they cannot harm Allah in the least. The deniers have no share in the hereafter with Allah. For them there is a painful torment." I am marking that in red here now. Yes. He touched on a very good place that was corrected. Well, here (?) will come. It came. I am marking this in red here. We marked it in red. My own corrected within others, in the translations it has not yet been corrected. So these are ones I found later. I corrected these that I found later. I did not put it here either. Now there is something here; let's see whether we took it here; while we are at it, it would be good to examine these.

It will take a bit of our time too, but (?), we will transfer some of our time to you. Surah Al Imran, Al Imran, 7. Here on the page. Now we will look here.

Yes.

Seventh page, eighth page, ninth page, from here let's look. We didn't take one hundred fifty-two. We didn't take one hundred fifty-four. Now let's copy this from here to here.

Let's copy this from here, from the translation, to here.

(?).

"The deniers have no share at all with Allah." Allah Almighty invites them to Islam, the true religion. He sends prophets and books, gives them a life and, within these lives, their sustenance in abundance. In this case they rebel against Allah, eat the sustenance Allah gave them in perfect health, then they deny their Lord. So such people flee from the mercy of the hereafter that their Lord pours down. From the mercy of the hereafter. What does Allah Almighty say? O man, your life on earth is a passing life; the earth is a stopping place, a temporary stopping place. But that Hell in the abode of the hereafter, what an evil bed it is, He says. Look, what an evil bed.

So if you value the stopping place and do not build up the place you are really going to, do not think of it, and in the end, like a (?) merchant, to a (?) torment of Hell you are left (?), what a person does to his own self even the two worlds together could not do. Yes.

So these. Such people flee from the mercy of the hereafter that their Lord pours down. Fitting Allah into their own reason, they decide by themselves in place of Allah. Are there no such people? Plenty. He does everything himself. They do not like Allah's verses; they make their own laws as their own reason shows, themselves. They live far from Allah.

Such as?

Allah Almighty's laws give man life, and if they impose deterrent punishments, if they impose deterrent punishments on man, within these deterrent punishments, and because man, for the evils his nafs has done, accepts that deterrent punishment, one attains Allah's mercy. When the verse says: perhaps they will attain Allah's mercy, even that deterrent law is a mercy for man. Because no human being on earth is everlasting. But the enemies of Allah rage against these deterrent laws, as if they would never die and would remain forever on this world. That deterrent law of the Sharia ruling, that is, the laws that give man life, that protect man's honour and dignity and give man human dignity and honour: they do not like them.

Why do they not like them? Because the people of whom He says they are like four-legged animals roaming the earth, of course, since their dignity and honour have become base before Islam, they do not like it. People caught up in an inferiority complex like themselves look for supporters so that their nafs may find (?). Yes. I am speaking a bit harshly, but I am telling the truth. I am telling the feelings of those people. Their feelings. And I was voicing the feelings of such people. Because I live them. This is a wisdom my Lord has given. He makes me live it, and I tell it. Yes. And Allah Almighty keeps His mercy away from them in the hereafter: is it you who fled My mercy, is it you who ignored My commands and held your own reason above Me, and who said desert law, who said outdated laws?

Come on, today, He says, show your own law. (?), show it. So today too, He says: if you flee that mercy, you draw near to torment; if you flee torment, you draw near to mercy. You fled mercy; today the torment is for you, He says.

And Allah Almighty keeps His mercy away from them in the hereafter. Since they will be alone there, since they have no share left to receive from Allah in the hereafter, because of their denial, as the continuation of the verse says: "For them there is a painful torment," He says. There is a painful torment.

In this state they are people of Hell forever.

The enmity people's own selves do to them, even the two worlds together could not do. With their own will, by the decisions they make, they go against Allah; seeing their own selves, in the weakness of their nafs, as grand, and in this case not bowing to Allah Almighty, they trade eternal bliss for the transient worldly life and, in the hereafter, far from Allah, buy the eternal life of Hell. They buy the eternal life of Hell.

As Islam, as Muslims, we say: may Allah grant guidance to all of us and protect us from the outcome of such an end. From the outcome of such an end, may He protect us.
