Tafsir
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) is our Master (vema erselnake illa rahmeten lil alemin). In this respect, the universe was created from his light and humans were created indirectly from his spirit. What is meant by indirectly here is that the Prophets were created from the soul of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). From the souls of those Prophets, the souls of their people were created. Therefore, indirectly means that no matter from which of the Prophets' tribes people were created, they were originally created from the soul of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Allah swears by His Essence when He says, "Verily, a Prophet has come to you from yourselves", emphasizing that all human beings are from the spirit of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.), (your distress is too heavy for him.) Imagine a father, even if his children do not know him, even if they rebel against him, when a distress touches his children, he feels sorry for them and tries to help them if necessary. But if the son does not listen to the father and leaves him, and does not want to get rid of his troubles by living in the marshes he desires, and the father cannot reach him, does he not feel sorry for him as a father? The Prophet (PBUH) is the father of all the people who have come to this earth. Therefore, he is the most merciful of all the people who have come to the earth, and when he invited those who opposed the religion of Islam, those who rebelled against Allah, to the true religion and wished them to attain salvation, he was a Prophet who was very saddened by the fact that people denied the truth. In this respect, he embraced all mankind and came as a Prophet to all the worlds. That is why the troubles of the people are very heavy for him. Because people cannot know what Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) knew, nor can they hear what he heard. People cannot be aware of the state of Hazrat Muhammad SAW.
Since the Holy Prophet (pbuh) was created complete and perfect towards the created beings, all the created worlds are incomplete and faulty towards the Holy Prophet (pbuh). Of course, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) is also incomplete and faulty towards Allah (swt). The second verse of Surat al-Fatih says, "I have forgiven you your sins, past and future," meaning that humans are incomplete and faulty towards Allah (swt) except for the creation of this entire creation. We said except for the creation of this creation, because Allah (swt) says in His Verse: "We create what We create firmly, that is, firmly. In this respect, the Prophet (PBUH), who is the greatest of all creatures, is saddened by the incomplete and faulty creation of human beings, because of the sins that they commit before they come to their senses, and it is very heavy for the Prophet (PBUH) because of the burden of sin that these people are burdened with. He wants people to know, to fear Allah, and not to succumb to the temptations of the world by following their ego and Satan.
(He is very fond of you, compassionate and merciful towards the believers.) His fondness towards people and Muslims is because He wants people to know Allah and He wants them not to be cruel to their own souls in the Hereafter. At the same time, since He came as a mercy to the worlds, He came as a compassionate and merciful protector of each and every creature. In this respect, the human being, who is created above all other creatures, is a Prophet who fulfills his duties towards human beings, strives to help them find the truth, and works day and night for this cause.
He is compassionate and merciful towards the believers. The compassion and mercy of the Prophet (SAW) is because the believers obey Allah and His Messenger and become the kind of people the Prophet (SAW) wants them to be. Because the believers love Allah and His Messenger and have a firm belief in the Hereafter, he is compassionate towards them. In the Hereafter, he will gather them under his banner and intercede for them.
In one of the verses Allah says, "Pray for the believers". If Allah (swt) had said pray for Islam, no Islam would enter Hell, no matter how many sins they have, they would enter Paradise directly. However, the sinful Muslims will also enter Hell. If Allah Ta'ala had said, "Pray for a Muslim," then when Allah Ta'ala would have put the sinful Muslims into Hell, it would have been a case of telling the Prophet (SAW) to pray and at the same time not accepting his prayer.
However, by saying "pray for the believers", since the believers will enter Paradise, according to the verse about the Prophet (PBUH) (he does not speak in vain), it means that he does not speak in vain, that his prayer is accepted, and that there is no verse in Allah's verses that contradicts each other. When he says that he is compassionate and merciful towards the believers, he means that he will gather them under his banner on the Day of Judgment, since it is only the believers who will enter Paradise without entering Hell. As for the others, the Prophet (PBUH) said, "I will ask Allah to forgive them until there is not a single one of my ummah left in Hell", which is a good news that Muslims will eventually go to Hell, suffer their punishment and enter Paradise.
The disbelievers do not recognize the Prophet, do not believe in Allah and the Hereafter, and when they pass on to the Hereafter in this way, they are destined for Hell, which they say is an evil place of return. May Allah (swt) protect us all from such an evil fate.
What is said in the video
This is what I wanted to tell you. We come to Surah At-Tawbah, verse 128.
By oath, there has come to you a prophet from among yourselves such that your falling into hardship weighs very heavily on him. He is very devoted to you, very compassionate toward the believers. A person who cannot bring his nafs to perfection, unaware of these verses, cannot live these. If he cannot bring his nafs to perfection. This verse is a verse corresponding to this hadith. Do you know what Imam Ghazali says? Whoever knows three hadiths is a scholar. In fact, he says, whoever knows even one hadith is a scholar. People have collected hadiths in their pockets and bring them forward as hadith scholars.
By Allah and by Allah, they are not hadith scholars. Except those among them who know. Those who know. Why not, Hodja? Because they are pitiful people who do not know which hadith corresponds to which verse. They collected hadiths, but which hadith corresponds to which verse? Man, he cannot understand the hadiths. Yes. What does it say? By oath, there has come to you a prophet from among yourselves such that your falling into hardship weighs very heavily on him. He is very devoted to you, very compassionate toward the believers. If a believer cannot share the state of a believer, his faith has not reached perfection, it says. This is what this verse corresponds to.
What did it say? If a believer cannot share the state of another believer, his faith has not reached perfection. Our hearts ache too. We too grieve for people. We are all servants of Allah. As servants of Allah, as humans, by creation there is no difference between us. But in the realm of spirits, when we made the covenant with Allah Almighty, there in degrees we were separated in the sight of Allah. And these were placed in us as character traits. Placed as character traits. Since we do not know how these character traits are in us, all that Allah created, all that Allah Almighty created, we put on the same scale, and because they do not carry out Allah's command, for the pain they will suffer in return for the punishment Allah Almighty will give them, (?), we pity them.
as if we were living their pain; that is why the Prophet would explain Islam to his community, to people, struggling hard; we too to people where fitting, (?), so that they pass it on; we explain gently where fitting, instructively where fitting, so that they find the truth; yes Muhammad (peace be upon him), and, and mâ erselnâke illâ rahmeten li'l-âlemîn. For this reason the universe from his light, and people indirectly from his spirit were created. What is meant by indirectly here: the prophets were created from the spirit of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). And from the spirits of those prophets the spirits of their peoples were created.
So when we say indirectly, from whichever prophets' peoples people may have been created, at the origin they were created from the spirit of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Allah Almighty, by saying by oath, that is, by swearing by His Essence: there has come to you from yourselves a prophet. From yourselves. Yes.
Look, He does not distinguish between people. A prophet has come from yourselves. By saying this, emphasizing that all people are from the spirit of Muhammad: your falling into hardship weighs very heavily on him. Take a father. Even if his children do not recognize him, even if they rebel against him, when some hardship touches his children, this father grieves. If need be, he tries to help. But if the child does not listen to the father, abandons him, and living the swamps he desires does not want to be rescued from hardships, and the father cannot reach him, cannot reach him, yes, as a father, will he not grieve over his state?
The Prophet (peace be upon him) is in the position of father of all the people who come to earth. That is why, as the most merciful of people who come to earth, those who rise against the religion of Islam, those who rebel against Allah, he invites to the truth, and when he wishes them to attain salvation, he is a prophet who, because people deny the truth, grieves very much.
For this reason he embraced all humanity and to all the worlds as a prophet came. That is why the hardships people suffer weigh very heavily on him. Because people can neither know what the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) knows, nor what he hears; people cannot become aware of the state of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). And so Allah Almighty says in His verse: My Beloved, I know you grieve for them to the point of destroying yourself. I know that you grieve. You cannot make the dead hear. What does it say? You cannot make the deaf hear. And above all, it says, you can never make the dead hear.
Yes. Their hearts have (?). Made the covenant with Allah Almighty with a rebellious spirit. Our Master: there is not a single living being to come until the Day of Judgement whose deeds We do not know; according to the verse that says so, since He knows those people who as rebels against Allah Almighty gave their covenant, these people whose rebellious spirit was written as their destiny, Allah Almighty (?) the Beloved of the Almighty, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): My Beloved, you cannot make the deaf hear, the dead you can never make hear; by saying this He (?), He calms the Messenger of Allah.
Yes. Since the Prophet (peace be upon him), compared to created beings, was complete and perfect in his creation, all the created worlds, compared to the Prophet (peace be upon him), are deficient and faulty. Of course, since the Prophet (peace be upon him) is deficient compared to Allah Almighty, all the worlds are deficient and faulty compared to Allah Almighty. For this reason the greatest of created beings, the Prophet (peace be upon him), because of people's deficient and faulty creation (?), for the sins they committed without understanding, grieves over their state; the loads of sin these people have taken on weigh, on the Prophet (peace be upon him), very heavily.
He wants people to know too, to fear Allah, not to follow their nafs and Satan and be carried away by the attraction of the world.
He is very devoted to you, compassionate, merciful toward the believers; in the verse that says this, his devotion to people and to Muslims is his wanting people to know Allah, and his wishing that these people, in the hereafter too, not be unjust to their own selves. At the same time, since he came as a mercy to the worlds, toward every created being compassionate and merciful, he came as their protector. For this reason, since man, created as the noblest of creatures, was created above created beings, carrying out his duties toward people without fault, so that they find the truth, striving for this cause night and day, he is a prophet.
He is compassionate and merciful toward the believers. The compassion and mercy of the Prophet (peace be upon him) comes from the believers obeying Allah and His Messenger, from their being people as the Prophet (peace be upon him) wants. Since the believers love Allah and His Messenger and firmly believe in the hereafter, toward them he is compassionate. In the hereafter he will gather them under his banner and intercede for them. in one verse Allah Almighty says: pray for the believers if Allah Almighty had said pray for the Muslims instead of the believers, no Muslim would enter Hell; however many sins they had, they would go straight to Paradise, because according to the verse he does not speak idly, according to the verse he does not speak idly, had He said pray for a Muslim, no Muslim would enter Hell; they would go straight to Paradise.
When He says pray for the believer, Surah Al-Fajr, verses 27, 28, 29, 30 (?). O soul at rest! Your Lord pleased with you and you pleased with your Lord, enter among My servants, enter My Paradise; since the people He addresses so have no return, those who attain their Lord's mercy, these people received with (?) faces, whose accounts are settled quickly, pray for those who will enter Paradise. Pray for the believer. Well, they pray anyway. What need is there? He enters Paradise anyway. It is that, honoured with the prayer of the Prophet, in return for the worship they did their degrees too are raised.
Yes.
Whereas the sinful among Muslims will also enter Hell. Had Allah Almighty said pray for the Muslim, when Allah Almighty puts the sinful Muslims into Hell as well, it would have come about that He both told the Prophet (peace be upon him) to pray and did not accept his prayer. Hodja, is being a believer only in this world? Being a believer, the nafs being a believer, is being a believer only in this world? He says, Being at rest is only in this world, though. No. He is a Muslim. He is a Muslim.
If he departed with faith; had he been at rest, he would not have (?). For example, he drank alcohol, gambled, committed adultery, but in his Islam (?) (?). In the end he departed as a Muslim. His guilt is great. He will enter Hell. In Hell he will become at rest and come out. From that light of faith, he will become at rest in Hell and come out. But the spirits of the disbelievers, that is, the disbelievers in Hell will not become at rest, and when they see torment and suffering, their hatred toward Allah Almighty will grow. Waiting for the Lord of their imagination, with feelings of taking revenge on Allah, they will remain forever in Hell.
Yes. In the world too, those at rest are the believers. The nafs that has passed through Nefs-i emmâre, Nefs-i levvâme, Nefs-i mülhime, why has it come out at rest? as I said a moment ago: O soul at rest, your Lord pleased with you and you pleased with your Lord, enter among My servants, enter My Paradise; who are these people He addresses so? Those aware of Allah Almighty's manifestations, people aware of the manifestation; above that, nafs-i raziye: those who have entered through the gate of ilme'l- yakîn, the scholars, and the angels bear witness to the existence of Allah, those of whom He speaks.
Higher still. Marziyye and Safiye. In Safiye. The heavens and the earth. While creating these two and what is between them, Satan and his companions We did not take as helpers for Ourselves, it says. We did not choose them as helpers. The people He speaks of.
In nafs-i Safiye. Yes. Allah does not leave these worlds without purpose. well then what will the Prophet (peace be upon him) do, will he not pray for the Muslim? for the Muslim do you know where he will pray? in the hereafter, to Allah Almighty he will supplicate. What does he say? I will supplicate to Allah until not a single one of my community remains in Hell, he says. In Hell. There Allah Almighty's promise will come true. They will enter Hell. Through the prayer and supplication of that Prophet, with their faith having reached perfection, they will come out from there too. Yes.
Go on. Now he left here as a Muslim. he left. His good deeds also more than his sins. His good deeds more than his sins. Will he too be at rest before entering Paradise? Of course. If those good deeds are more, he sees his Lord anyway. What does his good deeds being more mean? Good deeds being more means his obedience and faith toward Allah Almighty are stronger. Yes. That is, he was cleansed of most sins. He stayed away from what Allah does not want. Yes. In this case his heart is at rest. All right, he too is at rest. Yes. These enter Paradise. Whereas by saying pray for the believer, since the believer is destined for Paradise, about the Prophet (peace be upon him), according to the verse he does not speak idly, since he does not speak idly, through the acceptance of his prayer, in Allah's verses there is no verse that contradicts another.
Saying compassionate and merciful toward the believers, since those who will enter Paradise without entering Hell are only the believers, His saying pray for the believers and (?) are only the believers, His saying pray for the believers and (?) As for the others, the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying, until not a single one of my community remains in Hell I will supplicate Allah for their pardon, shows that the Muslims in the end will come out of Hell and enter Paradise. Yes. So while we have such a prophet and intercessor among us, if a person does not follow him and does not recognize the Prophet, if he does not believe in Allah and the hereafter, these people, in the end, as they depart as disbelievers, to Hell, of which He says what an evil place of return, become subject. They become seekers of it.
May Allah protect us.
Love Allah very much. If you love Him very much, beside what He says, beside His command, wholeheartedly you will follow Him. You will do what Allah says more beautifully, with peace. But if you fear, if you act out of fear, your nafs will sometimes side with fear, sometimes with the nafs. I have a nature. Whomever I love, so as not to embarrass him, I do everything I can. So as to look good to him. I do everything I can so that people do not complain about me to him. Especially Allah, our Lord; we will go into His presence. If I say I love Him, so that they do not complain about me to Him, for people I do everything I can.
Just do not complain about me to Allah. I do everything I can. Well, if he did not understand me and complained to Allah, then I say this. To Allah: between him and me, You (?), I say. Yes.
