Ali 'Imran 151: Because they associate things - for which no evidence was sent down - as partners to Allah, the hearts of the infidels are full of terror. Their destination is the hell. Wretched is the destination of oppressors.

Surah Al Imran, we left off at verse 151.

Because they associate with Allah things for which He sent down no proof, the hearts of the unbelievers are full of fears. The hearts of the unbelievers are full of fears. They have interpreted this verse wrongly. (?) Again they have attributed qualities to Allah Almighty. No one can attribute qualities to Allah Almighty. What does it say here? In verse 151: because they associate with Allah things for which He sent down no proof as partners, up to here it is correct. After this it talks nonsense. We will soon cast fear into the hearts of the unbelievers, it says.

Would Allah do this? Would He cast fear into the unbelievers' hearts? Soon, soon we will cast fear, it says. Well, is there no one among the unbelievers who becomes Muslim, who turns? Then He would be hindering them too. So this verse is not like that, its meaning, the translation is not like that. What does the translation say? Because they associate with Allah things for which He sent down no proof as partners, up to here correct, the hearts of the unbelievers are full of fears. Are full of fears. The hearts of the unbelievers. Not '(?) will cause fear'. According to which verse? The verses will support one another.

The hearts of the unbelievers are restless and scattered. There is that verse too. They, Allah's word never contradicts itself. It confirms. What is it? What does Allah Almighty say in this verse? The hearts of the unbelievers are scattered and restless. Yes, so the hearts of the unbelievers are full of fears. Of fears. Well, you could say this to me: you too have filled the hearts of the unbelievers with fear. Is there no one among them who will become Muslim? Now, the hearts of the unbelievers, pay attention, now the subtlety of speech is here, this is the science of kalam, the science of kalam.

If you master the knowledge of the Quran, you will possess the science of kalam.

We will soon cast fear into the hearts of the unbelievers: these are unbelievers, all unbelievers, fear will be cast into all their hearts. But: the hearts of the unbelievers are full of fears.

Even if, among the unbelievers at that moment, someone has become Muslim, that Muslim's heart is not full of that unbeliever's fear. Because he is not within that belief. He is in (?). He is searching. His heart is full of another longing. That is why they choose Islam and come. Well, why are they born there as unbelievers, are they not born as unbelievers? They are not born as unbelievers. While a child is in the mother's womb, its (?) is known. By the way it lives, it grows up within those habits. Islam is in its fitra. Allah Almighty puts a Muslim soul into the loins of an unbeliever, and into the loins of a Muslim an unbeliever's soul. So that people may not say: had You brought me among Muslims, I would have been a Muslim. So, among the unbelievers a Muslim soul searches and becomes Muslim. Becomes Muslim.

I don't understand, I don't know. Yes, so, into a Muslim's loins an unbeliever's soul, soul. By putting a Muslim soul into an unbeliever's loins, since Allah Almighty is free of deficient attributes, people will not be able to say: had You brought me into the land of Islam, I would have been a Muslim. What will He say? Look, he was born there among the unbelievers. I put a Muslim soul into an unbeliever's loins. Look, he lived among the unbelievers. He was brought over to this side. So one must pay great attention to the (?). The hearts of those unbelievers are full of fears. And however much that Muslim is, in whatever state, an unbeliever, that fear in his heart is not like that unbeliever's fear. According to what?

According to what is it not? The hearts of the unbelievers are scattered and scattered, says Allah Almighty. In this case, if the hearts of those unbelievers are scattered and they will never accept Islam, then the heart of the person among the unbelievers who is an unbeliever in his present state and his heart are not the same. Because natures differ. Destinies and covenants differ. Yes. We come to: because they associate with Allah things for which He sent down no proof as partners, the hearts of the unbelievers are full of fears. And where they will go is hell. How evil is the destination of the wrongdoers.

Now here, when the hearts of the unbelievers are full of fears, (?) when it says so, this fear, this fear is both worldly, both worldly and otherworldly. Allah Almighty is both the Outward and the Inward. He speaks both to the outward and to the inward. Their worldly fears among themselves are very intense, it says. Both among themselves, and because they are very greedy for material things, even if the goods in their hands filled the world, they live in fear that it will leave me and I will be left alone. In the hereafter, the fear of eternal hell. Yes, when they realise in Allah Almighty's presence that they will enter hell, their, eyes pop out, sky-blue, it says.

If we read the verse: those who turn away from Allah, who move away from Allah's oneness and worship what they made with their own hands as gods, the One who created this whole universe, living and lifeless beings, so that His essence be known, Allah Almighty, all beings, according to the verse 'they know the remembrance of their Lord', all created beings remember Allah, yet people, whose will was given into their own hands, deny their Creator out of the arrogance of their nafs. They take as gods Allah's creatures that are of no use to them, and from them they expect help. In this case, their hearts are full of fears.

He too knows that the god he made with his hands will be of no use to him. Yes.

So that not what Allah says but what people themselves say prevails, that is, people living out their own desires of the nafs, egoism, pride, arrogance, haughtiness, domination, things like that, man's desire within his own will.

Knowingly believing in falsehood, in falsehood, today's people, in return for material gain: give him money and he will believe in falsehood. He turns at once. Give money, let him live. He will live in this world. Believing in falsehood, the state of the people who associate partners with Allah by fabricating with their own hands something for which Allah Almighty sent no proof, then calling them gods and worshipping them, since Allah Almighty knows it with His pre-eternal knowledge, He informs us of these things. What is pre-eternal knowledge? What is Allah Almighty? In pre-eternal knowledge no one perceives it.

Pre-eternal knowledge: when people made the covenant with Allah Almighty, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Ve iz ehaze Rabbüke min benî Âdeme min zuhûrihim zürriyyetehüm ve eşhedehüm alâ enfüsihim elestü bi Rabbiküm This: at the covenant of 'Am I not your Lord', when people made the covenant with Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty, who gave them their wishes, desires and aims as their destiny, knows them. In fact, when it comes to pre-eternal knowledge, we go even further. What is it? Having created the souls, before even giving them life, He knows what those souls are like.

How do you know, Hodja? (?) You might say. What does Allah Almighty say? All the kinds are three groups. Three groups. Ashâbü'l-meymeneti mâ ashâbü'l-meymeneh. Those of the right. Ashâbü'l-meş'emeti mâ ashâbü'l-meş'emeh. Those of the left. Ve's-sâbikûne's-sâbikûn. Ülâike'l-mukarrabûn. Fî cennâti'n-naîm. The middle group. The group of the foremost. But here you were already separated. So the Prophet, to this (?), in a hadith: Allah created the souls in (?) darkness and scattered something of His light on them; whoever took of that light found his way, whoever did not take of that light lost his way and went astray.

And because I have seen these worlds, I tell of them; I saw the living being myself, I lived it and I tell it. Yes. I have no outward knowledge, nor Arabic, but I saw those places. My Lord granted it. This is the knowledge of the Quran, the remembrance of remembrance, this is the very essence of the Quran. The essence of the Quran. Otherwise, by your own reasoning, saying Arabic grammar comes out like this, you cannot attribute qualities to Allah. Yes, the grammar may perhaps come out like that, but you cannot (?) Allah. What does it say? For example, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Ve lekad zere'nâ li cehenneme kesîran mine'l-cinni ve'l-ins.

We created many of mankind and jinn for hell, it says. Allah, Allah! Look how they attribute qualities to Allah Almighty. Whereas, by oath, man, hell was created for many of mankind and jinn. Hell was created. Allah Almighty did not create mankind and jinn for hell. Yes. How they make Allah Almighty an oppressor, make Him oppressive. By their own reasoning. How they (?). Hodja, the grammar is like that. Well, if the grammar is like that, I am now explaining these to you like this. Look. If the grammar is like that, then it is not that grammar. You do not say Allah's attribute. Allah is free of our deficient attributes.

Allah's mercy has surpassed His wrath. (?) Allah Almighty: E leysallahu bi ahkemi'l-hâkimîn. He is the Judge of judges. He never does injustice. Injustice. And what does He say? Today, without any injustice done to anyone, everyone will be given what he earned, as the return of his two hands, He says. Where? At the Great Tribunal.

Yes. So it is. Saying 'Allah' and passing on like that comes from many things, comes from (?). Much (?). When you say Allah, your heart will tremble. Your eyes will fill with tears, as if the bone of your nose aches. That is how you will remember that Allah. And then, while speaking of Him, you will be afraid. Yes.

So, since Allah Almighty made it known to us with His pre-eternal knowledge, He informs us of these things. Those who do not know Allah, according to the covenants they gave at Qalu Bala, according to their own desires, their destinies were written for them, yes, written. Their destinies were written for them. Since Allah Almighty knows what traits those who live these destinies within their own feelings have, He declares their state to people. Yes, their hearts are full of fears, He says. And how evil a place is where the unbelievers will go, He says. What an evil place. In the hearts of the unbelievers there are fears. Because they love their lives and property so much, they cannot fight.

If they prepare for war, in a verse Allah Almighty says: they fight only from behind fortified strongholds. They cannot fight. Like the Muslims. Because for them, once they die, it is over. (?), he does not know. Well, or rather, their whole world, their life, is this world, the world of this life. If he fights at all, it is behind what He calls fortified strongholds: tanks, rifles, satellites, behind missiles, because he himself, instead of going to war, from where he is operates and strikes. Yes.

So the people who are Muslim, who believe in Allah and the hereafter, after learning these traits of theirs, if they hold fast to the verses that are Allah Almighty's divine command, they will find salvation. The Muslims. Yes. And the places where those who rebel against Allah Almighty will go is hell. What an evil place of return it is. Hell. So where is our original homeland? The world we call the hereafter, the inner world. That is, the essential world. We came from there and we will go there. What does this saying remind me of? When I say we came from there and will go there. One day I am going through a spiritual state.

We are going to be guests at a hotel. There are official uniforms on them. Well, that, that the man we wanted, next to him there is someone. He asks me, asks us a question. And there are a few more people. He says: where have you come from, where are you going, he asks us. I at once the others (?), I said: sir, my ears are hard of hearing. Could you repeat what you said once more, I said.

Where did you come from, he said, where are you going?

By Allah, I said, we came from the other (?) and we will go there, I said. They: go in, inside; one went in. I went in: Allah and His Messenger are inside. Then events unfold. From the places they went, the places they passed, the plants tell me: they went this way. Those creatures say: they went this way. I find where they went by what those creatures tell me. (?) Yes. So all of us came from the world of the hereafter; this is a guesthouse, here we have a temporary life. Never think this place is a (?) for yourself. We will leave here anyway, and do not dismiss the other side as fantasy. Just as you see one another, what does Allah Almighty say?

Every soul shall taste death, and to Me is your return. If you believe, you must know this just as you see one another. The return is to Allah. And to the real world. Yes.

So what an evil place of return that is. Where? Hell. How evil is the destination of the wrongdoers, He says. The destination of the wrongdoers. So among people, when people oppress one another they become wrongdoers, and since Allah Almighty created people very precious, very honourable and with the greatest capacity of creation, and gave them a part of His own essence, if He calls wrongdoers those who act unjustly among themselves, who upset one another, who quarrel with one another, who cheat one another, and says how evil a place they will go to, and if those who deny Allah, well, who deny His essence, He says how evil a place they will go to,

would Allah ever be an oppressor? Would He do injustice? They do not want people to do injustice. People to one another. So would Allah ever do injustice? Would He create man and jinn for that paradise, that hell? Yes.

In the verse where He says how evil is the destination of the wrongdoers, the wrongdoers are those in whose hearts there is no light of Allah, that is, who are not honoured with the religion of Islam, who make deviant paths their emblem, among people those people who act unjustly are wrongdoers. One day, to the Prophet (peace be upon him), who is a wrongdoer, they ask. They ask the Prophet. O Messenger of Allah, who is a wrongdoer? A father who discriminates between his children is a wrongdoer too, he says. So what a fine justice, what a beautiful justice. Well, in this case, can one ever say that in the Prophet's time, the best (?) happens in the Prophet's time?

If Allah Almighty, who does not want people to hurt one another, calls them wrongdoers when they hurt one another, wrongdoers, and if the place those wrongdoers go is such an evil place, such an evil bed, would the best (?) ever be in the Prophet's time, in his time?

Now, when He calls these people deviant, do they deserve it or not? Or when I call them deviant, am I the one going astray? Allah knows that too. Allah decides that. Yes.

A Muslim's being a wrongdoer, out of weakness of faith, leads a person to injustice up to a point. A Muslim, though. We are talking about a Muslim being a wrongdoer. He does it out of weakness of faith. It leads him to wrongdoing up to a point. Indeed, even if a person of faith is a wrongdoer, that is, even if a person who has said the shahada is a wrongdoer, he cannot be overly unjust to his own self. To his own self. That is, what do we want to say? He cannot wrong his own self as much as a non-Muslim. Because he is a person of faith. However sinful he may be, after staying in hell as long as his punishment, he will surely come out.

But a non-Muslim will stay in hell eternally. That is, by joining the people of hell he does not become eternally unjust to his own self. He is a person of faith. When a Muslim enters hell because of his wrongdoing, he feels remorse for what he did, finds the punishment (?) to him too little, and asks Allah Almighty for pardon and forgiveness. So, by the light of faith, through his return to our Lord, this person's faith is perfected, and our Lord grants such people His paradise too, after their punishment. He will certainly see a punishment, of course. Allah Almighty has justice.

Yes.

The unbelievers too, since they lack the seal of Islam and are selfish towards one another and those around them, are wrongdoers. Where they will arrive is hell. As they suffer torment in hell, their rebellion against Allah will (?), and within this rebellion they will remain eternally in hell. In hell, which He calls such an evil place of return, they will remain in the torture and torment of eternal life. May Allah save us all, the ummah of Muhammad, from such a torment. Yes.
