Ali 'Imran 77: For those who corrupt Allah’s covenant (the right path and the true promises to mankind) for a (small) gain, there is no share in the hereafter. On the Day of Judgment, Allah will neither talk to them, nor look onto them, nor purify them. There is a pitiful punishment for them.

Translation

For those who corrupt Allah’s covenant (the right path and the true promises to mankind) for a (small) gain, there is no share in the hereafter. On the Day of Judgment, Allah will neither talk to them, nor look onto them, nor purify them. There is a pitiful punishment for them.

Tafsir

Allah (swt) created human beings for the knowledge of His Essence. In this respect, He entered into a covenant with them at the beginning of time. Allah's intention in this covenant was that people should know Him and recognize Him as Lord. However, people disobeyed Allah (kalu bela'at) and separated. There they denied their Lord. Allah (swt) created these worlds by sending people to the realm of property where His essence was veiled (so that they would not say, "If you had sent me to a world where your essence is not visible, see how I would worship you") and showed people the truth and the right path in the realm of property without discrimination, even though He knew what they would do. The meaning of the covenant mentioned here is our Lord's address to the people in Kalu Bela that I am your Lord. No human being can change the covenant he made with Allah (at Kalu Bela). As I have explained in the previous Verses, Allah has made a covenant with the people and has given the will of the people into their own hands and has written the desires and wishes of the people as their destiny. No force or power can change that destiny. It is only in the hands of Allah. In one of the verses, Allah says: "Unless We will, you cannot will." According to this verse, Allah (swt): Is there any human being who can change his covenant? This can only happen if I will. You are not capable of it. In the face of this situation, Allah says: "There is a Book in Us, which is preserved in the Tabh-i Mahfuz, and no addition or omission can be made to it. So the writings have been written, the pens have been broken, the next events, the deeds committed, depend on the destinies and covenants made by the people. Some Verses have been opened incorrectly. In this verse, some exegetes have opened it as (Those who changed their covenant and oaths to Allah for a small amount of money). These openings are wrong. As we have explained above, no one can change his covenant with Allah. This is because it is in his nature to break his word, to turn away from Allah and to be a liar. People who have these traits and characters, while in this world they lie, they do not keep their promises, and they change the Verses of Allah without fearing Allah.

As for those who change the covenant of Allah, that is, the right path which He has shown to make known His will, and those who swear by Allah that this is so, and those who do not fear Allah, there is no share for them in the Hereafter. People earn something and get a share of what they earn. But they have no gain in this world for the Hereafter, so they will have no share from Allah in the Hereafter. They are alone in the Hereafter. They have neither an intercessor nor a helper.

Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection. Because they are in no position to appear before Allah so that Allah can speak to them. Therefore, Allah will not even look at them. Allah will not even exonerate them, because the object that Allah does not look at is doomed to loneliness. Who is worthy of cleansing and who does Allah cleanse? Humans are sinners because of the mistakes they have made and the sins they have committed. Their sins and rewards are equalized in the Hereafter. They themselves have not compromised with Allah, have not abandoned Islam and have died in accordance with the Islamic nature. Allah will purify them with His Mercy and bring them to Paradise.

What is said in the video

As for Allah Almighty's covenant with people, the right path He showed for them to find the truth, this is the covenant, and their oaths, those who for a price exchange them, Their oaths: he swore, I will not do this, but when he saw the benefit in front of him, he changed it.

They have no share in the hereafter, in the hereafter. On the Day of Judgement Allah will not speak to them, will not look at them and will not purify them. For them there is a manifest torment. What do we say here? Allah Almighty created people so that His Being be known; for this reason He made a covenant with them in the first barzakh. Allah's intention in making the covenant was that people know His Being and recognise Him as Lord. What did He say? Those all (?), three classes facing Him. Three groups. And what He calls: wa ashab al-maymanati ma ashab al-maymanah.

And what He calls: wa ashab al-mash'amati ma ashab al-mash'amah. Those of the right and those of the left. And a third group, what He calls: wa's-sabiquna's-sabiqun, ula'ika'l-muqarrabun, fi jannati'n-na'im. These three groups facing Him. What does He say? I am your Lord. Yes.

That they know Him there as Lord.

Allah's intention in making the covenant was that people know His Being and recognise Him as Lord. But by rebelling against Allah, people fell into division at Qalu Bala. Earlier. Earlier, not here. Here there is no division. Here, as actors, they play the script written there. There they denied their Lord. And Allah Almighty, sending people to the realm of dominion where His Being is veiled, so that they would not say: had You sent me to a realm where Your Being is not seen, look how I would have worshipped You, created these realms, and although He knew what they would do, He showed people the right path with truth in the realm of dominion without discrimination.

He does no injustice to any person, to anyone, here. He gives everyone exactly what he has earned. Even if he is a non-Muslim. He gives it to him exactly, but when he goes as a denier, what do we say? All the fine deeds they did have been wasted. Because Allah Almighty's intention in creating us was that His Being, His Being by people, or that the part know its whole. If the part denies its whole, may Allah's peace be upon his head. Yes.

So the meaning of the covenant mentioned here is our Lord's address at Qalu Bala: people, I am your Lord. No person can change the covenant he gave Allah at Qalu Bala. As I explained in the earlier verses too, Allah made a covenant with people and, with their (?) of will, gave people's wills into their own hands.

Yes.

People's desires and wishes He wrote for them as destiny; now no force or power can change that destiny. Now let us mark this point.

We are at a place, at a place, someone is telling.

We heard this from our hodja. What did you hear? People can change their destinies. People. Come on, what kind of hodja is this? What hodja?

What is this destiny? Destiny.

If a person who says this, a person who could change his destiny, can say that, according to Allah's verse, if We do not will, you cannot will, he is a person with a power able to change His might, and this person would also have the power to create. Allah forbid. Imam Qadir says: the more you look at the sun, the more you will talk about destiny. Do we ever talk about destiny? Do we say destiny is this or that? We only say what destiny is. What is destiny? Way back at the address Alastu bi-Rabbikum, Allah Almighty made a covenant with every person. What does He say? We made a covenant with those to emerge from the offspring of the children of Adam.

Yes. And their desires and wishes, their own aims, We gave them as destiny. What do we know of people's desires and wishes, what desire and wish he had and what characters Allah Almighty placed in him? What do we know? We cannot know what our own characters will be a second later. That is destiny anyway. What was destiny? The symbol of the magical deeds that your life brings forth in the flow of time. Your destiny. It is my destiny, I am telling you this, look, over time. Then, Allah forbid. Allah protect us. A person goes into disbelief. A person rises too. In Allah's sight. Sir, can you know?

You cannot. You cannot. So you cannot know destiny. You cannot know the future. Who are you? You will change your destiny. If you will be able to change your destiny, if you can change it, you will have risen above this verse of Allah Almighty. What is it? There is not a single living being to come until the Day of Judgement whose deeds We do not know. So by what does Allah Almighty know this? By what does He know? By the covenant you gave there and by the programming of that program within the characters He gave you, He knows. In this case He also knows the secrets of your hearts. Who are you? You will change this destiny of yours on earth.

Who are you? You will change your destiny. You will (?) Allah. Since your destiny is now over, Allah will not know what you will do. What kind of hodja is this? What hodja? What hodja? People fall for these.

But what do some also say? Is there such a brave soul who could change his destiny? Yes. So both those who know and those who do not know are talking.

Fine, those who know are talking, but why are those who do not know talking? They turn religion into superstitions. Superstitions. And people believe it that way.

And there is no hardship in religion. Hardship. Allah Almighty has listed the mahrams too. They make religion so hard. They make people from their relatives, they distance them. Supposedly they observe the covering of Islam, sir. The covering of Islam. The covering of Islam is not achieved by distancing from each other the relatives Allah Almighty has listed. That is ignorance. Yes.

What did we say? Now no force or power can change that destiny. This is only in Allah's hand. In a verse Allah Almighty says: if We do not will, you cannot will. According to this verse, is there, says Allah Almighty, a person who could change his own covenant? This happens only by My will. Yes. Now here there is Allah's will. It happens by My will. You are not capable of this, He says. People are not capable. And Allah Almighty no longer wills this either. Why? With Us there is a Book preserved in the Preserved Tablet. Nothing is afterwards added to it, nor any (?), He says. If He has given everyone his aim as destiny, if Allah removes the will from a person, removes his partial will from the person, if He removes that partial will and uses His own will, He does injustice to other people. Because they are all His servants.

Then He would abolish Hell. Hell. Yes.

In view of this situation: with Allah there is a Book preserved in the Preserved Tablet. After that nothing is added and no (?) is made. He says. So the writings have been written. The pens have been broken. The events after this, the deeds done, depend on the destinies and covenants people gave. A person had his destiny written for him in proportion to his aim. Allah Almighty gave him characters. Within those characters these people have desires and wishes. These living people have desires and wishes. And Allah Almighty creates causes and events according to the desires and wishes of so many people and creatures.

Those persons, by carrying out those actual deeds, receive reward and sin. So Allah does not will to turn people in the direction of how and what they do. People turn themselves to sin or attain reward. By their own wishing. It is always: Allah does this, Allah wills that. Allah this, me, sir, He puts whom He wills into Paradise, whom He wills into Hell, Allah chooses whom He wills to lead people; no. It is not like that. You accuse Allah of injustice.

Maybe you did not please Allah, and with you Allah would not bring someone even more deficient and put him at your head. You accuse Allah of injustice. And by people's own wishing, Allah Almighty gives them their places in full. This too is Allah's will. If He wishes, He changes it. But what do we say? He does not change it again either. But that changing is only in His hand.

So the writings have been written, the pens have been broken. The events after this, the deeds done, depend on the destinies and covenants people gave. Some verses have been rendered wrongly. In this verse too some commentators have rendered it as: those who exchange the covenant they gave Allah and their oaths for a small sum of money. Allah forbid. They exchanged the covenants they gave Allah for a small sum of money.

By Allah, it makes one laugh. Poor people. Yes.

This rendering is wrong; as we explained above, no one can change the covenant he gave Allah, because if not keeping one's word, turning away from Allah and lying are in his nature, the people who have these traits and carry these characters lie while in the world and do not keep their word either; Allah's verses they change without fearing Allah, because it is in their nature. What does He say? My beloved, do not mind their belying you. In their time they betrayed Me too. Where? At the address Alastu bi-Rabbikum.

What do some poor people say? The people of the Children of Israel gave their word, and Allah took a strong covenant from them, and they did not keep their word. Is there such a (?)? He will not keep his word. He took a strong word, and they went back on their word. Look, as if they will deceive Allah. When they gave their word, Allah believed them. And then they went back on their word. Whom are you deceiving? With these you only deceive yourself. And with such words you expose your ignorance. And in the Quran there are such verses too. And people say it like this. He gave his word and then went back on it.

Going back on their word is in their origin. Allah Almighty knows these. It is among the 350 wrongly rendered verses. Read them. We have uploaded the rendered verses to the internet. They will be corrected later. I mean, it will come to a Quran print (?). There were those who wanted it quickly. We uploaded it there that way. But (?) there is no mistake. Read.

So as for those who change Allah's covenant, that is, the right path He showed for His Being to be known, which is His intention, those who swear in Allah's name that this is so, those who do not fear Allah: they have no share in the hereafter.

Why do they have no share? Because outside the religion of Islam, however much good you have done, even a world's load, if you have denied Allah, if you have not recognised the Prophet, if you have turned your back on the Quran, its burden is above the good you have done, as big as this universe, so its burden makes you an eternal dweller of Hell. Eternal.

People make gains and from what they gain they take a share from (?). These people have no gain for the hereafter in the world, so that in the hereafter they would take a share from Allah. Why should they? Because they went to the hereafter like a bankrupt merchant. A bankrupt merchant. My mercy in the universe is for everyone, in the hereafter only for the believer. There, He says, I will remove My mercy from them. When the mercy (?) from the non-Muslims, they are alone and forsaken there, says Allah Almighty. No person will intercede for them. Be it his father, be it his closest one, be it his closest one who loves him more than his own life, seeing him there as a polytheist, he will turn his back and leave.

So there they are alone and forsaken. Yes.

So

these people have no gain for the hereafter in the world, so that in the hereafter they would take a share from Allah. In the hereafter they are alone, they have neither intercessors nor helpers.

On the Day of Judgement Allah will not speak to them. Why? Because He will not take them as His addressees.

Aren't we like that too? In the world, those who lie, those who are not true to their word, those who slander people, what do we do with them? We pay them no heed. We pay no heed to what they say. For example, in the religion of Islam the testimony of liars is not accepted. So one does not speak with liars. That is, you do not take him as an addressee. He is a liar. And Allah Almighty says they are like four-legged beasts roaming the earth. And as they go on they are even more astray. In this case He will settle their account and at once throw their accounts in their faces and, without speaking, say: take them away.

When they realise they will enter Hell, Allah Almighty describes them this time. Their eyes, He says, like sky blue, He says, (?). They throw themselves, He says, face down on the ground. So We, He says, have them seized by their forelocks. By their forelocks. We have them thrown in through a narrow gate of Hell, He says. Through a narrow gate.

I always say it. I say it again. Do not listen to false beliefs. There is no bridge called the Sirat bridge. I remind you as the verses come. Because Allah Almighty has the attribute of justice. He does not leave anyone subject to torment, without calling him to account, while he is coming to the divine presence, while he is coming to the divine presence. This Sirat bridge is a proverb, a proverb. And proverbs are fine, proverbs are not bad. I mean, what does it say? If you leave the straight path, you fall into Hell. So this proverb became the Sirat bridge. Some poor people without knowledge took this as a religious belief.

I laugh at them, I mean. Yes. We too believed it like that in the period of ignorance. We too believed it like that. But before Allah's verses we surrendered. There is no such thing. What does He say? What each earns is the return of your own selves. Today, without injustice to anyone, everyone's earnings will be given to him in full, exactly in full, He says. Where? In the divine presence. Man to the Supreme Court. On his way there, how did you invent that bridge and make this man fall into the pit of Hell?

You tormented him before he gave account in the divine presence. There is no such thing.

Yes. On the Day of Judgement Allah will not speak to these either, so, (?). Because they are in no state to appear before Allah, so that Allah would speak with them. For this reason Allah Almighty will not even look at them. Since the thing Allah does not look at is condemned to loneliness, Allah will not purify them either. To be purified, to be purified, who is worthy? Who is worthy of being purified? And whom does Allah purify? Allah, who created people deficient in mind, because of the mistakes people have made and the sins they have committed, people are sinners. Their sins and good deeds have come out even in the hereafter.

They themselves have not compromised on Allah. They have not abandoned the religion of Islam. And they have died upon the nature of Islam. So Allah purifies these with His mercy and grants them His Paradise. Yes.
