Ali 'Imran 178: That We give them time should not make the deniers believe that it is good for them. They only increase their denial (within their lifespan, so that they will prove who they are). For them, there is a severe punishment.

We marked this verse in red, we corrected it as wrong, that is. Surah Al Imran, verse 178. The verse. First let's read from the book and see how we corrected it there. "Let not those who deny think that Our granting them respite is better for them. We give them opportunity only so that they increase their sins. For them there is a humiliating torment." Allah gives no one time, opportunity, so that he increases his sins. It is wrong, that is. Supposedly so that they increase their sins. What do we say?

"Let not those who deny think that Our granting them respite is better for them." We put it in brackets. Within their lifetimes. Within their lifetimes. "They only increase their sins."

Here it is similar, but look what it says here now. "We give them opportunity only so that they increase their sins," it says. Supposedly He gives opportunity. That is: increase it even more. Then don't kill him; since he will do worse, let it increase a bit more. Whereas within their lifetimes, he has a set lifetime, within that. They only increase their sins within that lifetime. "For them there is a humiliating torment." Yes. Allah Almighty, at Qalu Bala, made a covenant with people, with each soul separately. Now, when we wrote our tafsir, when we wrote this tafsir, we knew that these verses were wrong.

We wrote the tafsir according to the correct ones. I had no time. I brought this out very quickly. I copied the verses as they were. I had no time to correct them.

But I wrote the meaning according to what is here; so many verses rendered, that is, the 389 verses we rendered, are written exactly in the proper form here, written in the correct way the verses open up. That is why we made no change to what was written. What do we say now? Allah Almighty, at Qalu Bala, made a covenant with people, with each soul separately, and wrote these covenants for them as destiny. And their lifetimes were bound to a time in which they would live their destinies.

Their lifetimes were bound to a time in which they would live their destinies. That is, when he made the covenant with Allah Almighty, when his wish, desire and aim became his destiny, within how many breaths he can carry out this destiny, complete it: Allah Almighty knows this. Accordingly, within those numbers of breaths, forms will be created for it. They, with the forms He creates within the seconds of the times within those seconds, will be created. Those people will carry out those forms, those created forms. And they will prove to themselves what kind of people they are. And after how much time they will at last show themselves in full. That is a lifetime.

Let's read it once more. Allah Almighty, at Qalu Bala, made a covenant with people, with each soul separately, and wrote these covenants for them as destiny. And their lifetimes were bound to a time in which they would live their destinies. The program of all of them was made without any shortfall. It was made without shortfall. When a person comes to the great world, as the artist of the destiny he gave, while living worldly life, he begins to play the scenario of the destiny he had written for himself. Yes.

This paragraph is, more or less, the essence of the Quran.

This paragraph.

A person will know what he is. How he will know how long his lifetime is. He will know how this lifetime came to be. How I made my covenant, what I will do: he will know that. Let's read this once more; this is very important. Allah Almighty, at Qalu Bala, made a covenant with people, with each soul separately. And wrote these covenants for them as destiny. And their lifetimes were bound to a time in which they would live their destinies. The program of all of them was made without any shortfall. When a person comes to the great world, as the artist of the destiny he gave, while living worldly life he begins to play the scenario of the destiny he had written for himself.

Elestü bi-Rabbiküm? Kalu bela. Yes, they said. And (?) became destiny for people. Those destinies Allah Almighty gave them as characters. Within those characters, with wishes and desires, with whatever feelings of the time he wants, Allah Almighty, within those times, for all the living beings He created, creates events that create causes for them. As long as people or creatures carry out these events, Allah Almighty continually gives them life. That is, with what He creates, and people too, by carrying out these deeds He creates, these workings, by carrying out what He creates as deeds, they too show what kind of beings people themselves are.

We said: every moment in a creation, in its exchange, He creates causes, this for that, that for this, provides life to it, the (?) of the animals and their breeding of one another, their filtering one another, their cleaning the world; that is, always one after another, He has programmed it, and always in the same creation. In this case, all being, the whole universe, in a movement, as the scenarios of this written program, are playing. Yes. Allah Almighty's, Allah's (?) is that, while the created ones play the scenarios written every moment for all the beings He created, within the time they live, Allah, who rules over all of them, within His own might and power, so that all the artists play the plays they will play without any shortfall, Allah Almighty creates events for them through causes.

Every soul, living its own destiny with its own wish and desire, makes itself, those around it and Allah Almighty witnesses against itself. What I said a moment ago we have laid out here in sentences.

Allah Almighty, making Allah's attribute manifest, no one will be able to blame Allah Almighty. In whatever way a situation in which he justifies his own self arises, Allah Almighty will create forms for him and show him what kind of person he is. Plus, the beings He created doing their duties without any trouble, without any bodily trouble, doing their work in the most beautiful way, (?), that is, that it could not have a body that would do that work in a more beautiful way; at the very peak, in the most beautiful way, in whatever way He created it for that duty, by that manner of creation it will do that duty in the most beautiful way.

(?), there is nothing above it, that is, above the creating. In all His animals. Allah Almighty creating it upon the duty it will do, with the art of creating its duty, in the most beautiful way, in the most superior form. No one will be able to say: had this animal been like that, it would have done better work. But today they examine the skeletons and remain in amazement. There is no superior form of creation yet that would do that duty more beautifully than it. That is why, Allah Almighty making Allah's attribute manifest, no one will be able to blame Allah Almighty. One, in the deeds and workings it will do.

Two, in the deeds and workings it will do bodily. Allah Almighty, by creating events, will make every soul take itself as a witness to Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty's might and power, and at the same time His attribute of knowing, will have become manifest. Here is meaning within meaning. What do we say? Allah Almighty's might and power, and at the same time His attribute of knowing, will have become manifest. That by their manner of creation He created His creatures in the most superior form, and they could not have a body able to do that duty in a more superior form. Its creation in the most superior way.

There is nothing more superior than it.

Here, as I always say, we close this here in this way. This enters the secret, the event we call the secret. That is the counterpart of this verse. When creating these worlds, We did not take Satan and (?) as witnesses for Ourselves. They were not taken as helpers. That is, We did not take them as witnesses. So of some created beings, those beings created upon the duty they will do in such a way that they cannot object to Allah in any way: I am one of the witnesses of their creation. That is why I explain the verses very well. Because I saw. I saw. Keeping so many created beings without taking them out of His rule, keeping them all under His sight, is a power of knowledge beyond the strength and might of all people, which the created cannot reach.

We are saying these things (?) camouflaged. In a way everyone will understand. If I said it here the way I say it, these would not be in a book. (?). What do we say? Keeping so many created beings without taking them out of His rule, keeping them all under His sight: this power of knowledge, beyond the strength and might of all people, of all, is a power of knowledge which the created cannot reach. A power of knowledge which the created cannot reach, and in terms of creation too. So this is how Allah is, and that Allah, with His knowledge and power, does not fit into the human mind. With Allah Almighty's art of creating, with His keeping all beings under His rule, with His being aware of what He created from the particle to the globe, with His programming all these worlds, with His creating causes second by second for all His creatures, with His being aware at every moment of what He created: the greatness of Allah. So we say: this is how Allah is.

This is Allah.

And that Allah, with His knowledge and power, does not fit into the human mind. He is the Possessor of wisdom.

He is the Possessor of wisdom, and people cannot comprehend His wisdom either. Indeed, how would I know what He did and why? I know only if He makes it known. For example, Moses, a prophet; Khidr (peace be upon him) makes a hole in the ship. You did a bad thing, says Moses (peace be upon him). Didn't I tell you not to interfere with what I do? On the other side he goes and kills a boy. You, he says, killed a boy for no reason. Look, he says, I had an agreement with you that you would not interfere with what I do; you have one right left, he says. Thirdly, when they stop at a village and are not given food, he repairs a collapsing wall.

These people treated us treacherously, he says. And you went and repaired the wall, he says. Now, he says, our work is done. We have come to the point of parting; let me tell you about these, he says. Ahead there was a king, he says, who seized every sound ship. And we wanted, he says, Allah wanted, that this ship be damaged and that in the hands of these children this ship remain. That these children be provided for by this ship. We did this for that, he says. That is wisdom. That boy, he says, was sinful. Allah Almighty in his place to this one. His lifetime too was that long. Later he would be oppressive to his mother.

We killed him so that in his place Allah Almighty would give those parents a good child. Then that wall, he says: two orphans had gold under that wall, he says. Allah Almighty wanted those walls, he says, to be straightened. When they reach the age of maturity, let (?) take them from there. Let them use them. These are wisdom. We cannot know what they are for. If He makes it known, we know.

Those who associate partners with Allah. Those who do not recognise Allah (?). Who cannot recognise Him. And those who gave their covenants rebelling against Allah. While living in the world, do they think that this respite is in their favour? Do they think it is in their favour? So that they can fully live out the covenants they gave, of the sins they will earn, a respite of a lifetime was given to them. A respite of a lifetime. So that within this respite of a lifetime, within their own partial will, they can obtain the things they took pleasure in, completing the sins they wanted with their own aims, and so cannot attribute a fault to Allah, and so that they do not say: had You given me a little more life, I would not have fallen short in worshipping You, Allah Almighty gave people a lifetime to live.

A lifetime. That is, He gave a set lifetime to live. In this case, within the lifetime He gave people, in the service of people's covenants, only the sinners increase their sins. With the deeds and workings they do, they increase their sins. Yes.

In this case, for them there is a humiliating torment. What is this humiliating torment?

There is a painful torment, He says. There is a humiliating torment, He says. The painful torment: their burning in the fire and so on. Their being whipped, let me say, or whatever. A humiliating torment. Today some people belittle those who live Islam.

They pass themselves off as enlightened and want to be modern. They belittle Islam's worship of Allah; they speak ill of the (?) of those who fear Allah; they see themselves above them in a superhuman rank. So in Hell, when he sees that the person who lived Islam and whom he looked down on has great ranks in Paradise, before him he will be so humiliated, he will fall into such despair: when he sees that the person he considered himself superior to, whom he looked down on, has great ranks in Paradise, while he himself is (?) torment, that torment will feel light to him compared to his despair. Compared to his humiliation, the torment he suffers will feel light.

Yes, that is the humiliating torment.

In this case, for them there is a humiliating torment. When these people suffer torment in Hell, while living their worldly lives, because of one another's evil, drawing one another into evil, the sins they earned from the evils they committed, among themselves, in Hell, the place of torment, their being humiliated by blaming one another, by hurting one another; people who had attained fame, renown and pride in the world, who in worldly life did not fall short in respect and honour towards one another, and people accustomed to this honour, blaming one another in Hell, with the obedience and respect among them towards one another disappearing: for those who do not give up their being and grandeur, their falling into (?) contempt there, the torment of being hurt there, rather than the torment, will be more bitter than the torment of Hell. Such a torment is a humiliating torment.

And we said, among themselves, they will blame one another; those who claimed superiority over one another saying: had you been like this, it would have turned out so, it turned out so because of this, and all of them remaining in the same place, their superiority over one another vanishing and their entering that torment: for them this will be a humiliating torment before one another.
