Translation

Due to their oppression, and because they prevented many from turning towards Allah, We punished them (the Jews) by forbidding many good things, which were permissible for them before.

Tafsir

The Jews are cruel to people and to their own souls. The reason they try to turn people away from the religion of truth is that they oppress their beliefs, and they tied their covenant together at the time of 'Awwal al-Bukha' (Kalu Bela), as if they had inherited it from their forefathers. They will not turn from their ways, they will not give up their oppression, they will never do what Allah says.

Allah (swt) does not want His creatures to be oppressed, especially His beloved human beings, and He does not consent to anyone being victimized by unfair treatment, by causing them to suffer losses. In this regard, Allah has given His commandments to people. Despite the fact that He has sent many verses to this effect, saying, "Do not pay interest, do not make unjust gains, do not take away each other's property by unjust means," these people have still made it a profession for themselves to make a profit in these ways.

Therefore, Allah (swt) imposed some punishments on them to bring them to their senses and forbade them some foods that were lawful for them. Then He abolished these forbidden foods with the prophethood of Jesus.

What is said in the video

Surah An-Nisa, verse 160, the noble verse. 'Because of the wrongdoing of the Jews, and their turning many people away from Allah's path, We made unlawful for them good things that had been made lawful for them,' He says. The Jews, the mischief of the earth, a cursed people. Cursed. Yes. They themselves know this too.

But those traits in them somehow keep them from drawing near to Allah, from bowing their necks.

The Jews are wrongdoers toward people and toward their own selves.

However much they wrong people, in this passing world their wrongs come to an end. But a person's wrong against his own self, you know, those who turn the abode of eternal bliss into the abode of eternal punishment, you know, they in the world of the Hereafter, in the world of the Hereafter, suffer the wrong of a deathless life. So is the wrong in this world the real wrong, or is the wrong in the Hereafter the real wrong?

All the pain and sorrow, the pleasure and joy of this world are passing. Passing. A person's life is a life of a few hours. Within that life of a few hours a person proves what kind of person he is.

And with this proof, a proof of a few hours, a person earns in the world of the Hereafter either the abode of eternal bliss or the abode of eternal wrong. Within this life of a few hours. In this case, however much the Jews' wrongdoing is against people too, if only they knew what wrong they are doing to their own end, if only they knew. What kind of wrong they are doing. While in this world a person cannot bear the slightest torment, the slightest pain, how will he bear the punishment there?

What drives him to this? What drives him to embrace this punishment? The grandeur of his nafs. Satan setting traps in front of man. 'I will set traps in front of the people who would come to You and keep them from coming to You' — his saying that. Then their following that Satan, because it pleases their nafs, because they deny Allah from the start and in essence (?), plus, according to the verse of Allah Almighty in which He says their hearts are restless and scattered — according to this verse, their finding peace on earth, instead of striving (?), they try to find peace by busying themselves with mischief and wrongdoing, but the more it goes on (?), they increase their own hatred, their hatred toward Allah and their wrongdoing toward their own selves.

Yes.

In this respect they prove what kind of wrongdoers they are.

The Jews are wrongdoers toward people and toward their own selves. Their striving to turn people away from the true religion, their putting pressure on their beliefs, their binding their covenant, as if inherited from their forefathers from of old, (?) together. Their covenants together with their forefathers. That is, together with their denial, together with their forefathers, they bound their denial right back at the address 'Alastu bi Rabbikum' by turning their backs on Allah Almighty. Their walking in the footsteps of their forefathers. These will not turn from their ways. They will not give up their wrongdoing.

They never do what Allah says. If they had done it, if these, if these had done it, despite Moses saving them from Pharaoh's oppression, they would not have worshipped the calf. If these, these, back then, despite being saved from that oppression, despite Allah Almighty saying: enter this gate saying 'hittah', they said 'hintah'; their saying 'watch over us, look after us, be our shepherd', by changing the words — these have no intention of submitting to Allah, none. When He said 'enter this city', their saying 'O Moses, we will not go there and fight. You go fight with Allah and His Messenger.

Take the place, then we will go and settle there.'

Their overstepping Allah's bounds with their excesses, and their being a cursed people of the earth. O man! Do not fall for the Jew's game. Their whole business, night and day, is Islam — to drive people away from Islam, and to prepare the plans for how to turn people away from Islam, how to cool them toward it, the plans to cool them. And then to present what they have prepared to people as if it were beautiful. And because people have no knowledge, since they have already been driven away from the Quran, people receive these as very nice, pleasing and enjoyable to their own nafs, and drift away from their religion.

This is how we drift away. This is how they ascribe attributes to Allah in the Quran. 'Allah takes revenge,' they say. Revenge. Allah takes revenge on no one. Is there a verse for that? Of course there is. 'We do not wrong your selves. You wrong your own selves.' The verse. 'What you earn is the return of your two hands,' He says. So Allah does not take revenge. Allah does not take you or me as His counterpart. Is Allah helpless, that He should take revenge on them? They take revenge on their own selves. Let people learn the verses well; this does not resemble Arabic grammar, does not resemble Arabic grammar.

Allah Almighty does not want His creatures, His creatures that He created, to suffer wrong. Allah Almighty says to you too, 'spread truth and justice on earth,' He says. Truth and justice. In this case, even if it is an animal — although you are the vicegerent of the earth to whom the animal has been given at your command — you cannot wrong them, even if it is an animal, it too is a living being. Except those that do harm.

For those, He says, there is permission. For example flies, for example like lice, like (?), for example some pests from outside, when they get into the house; sometimes centipedes get into the house too. These are pests too. For these — because it will harm you or poison you. This much permission there is for these. Everything will go to its place. It will do its duty in its place. Yes.

Allah Almighty does not want His creatures that He created to suffer wrong. Especially when it comes to the people He loves very much. He does not consent to anyone harming anyone through unjust treatment and leaving them wronged. For this reason Allah has made His commands known to people: do not consume interest, do not make unjust gains, do not take one another's property from your hands by unjust means. Despite His sending many verses on this, these still have made earning by these means their profession. For this reason Allah Almighty applied certain punishments to them so they would come to their senses, and made unlawful certain foods that had been lawful for them.

Then He lifted these foods He had made unlawful through the prophethood of Jesus. Even so, they inform on Jesus too, lock him up in the synagogue, seek his death. Even so. Yes, are they trustworthy? Their word cannot be trusted. Look what He says. Allah Almighty: 'When you (?) gain the upper hand, they invite you to the table,' He says. 'Beware,' He says, 'do not be deceived by their words.' They have always defeated us at the table anyway. At the table. Not by waging war.

'Make your covenant firm,' He says, 'firm.'

Why could we not make it firm?

Why could we not make it firm? This Jewish nation, under the guise of Freemasonry, has held all heads of state in its hands. It is still so. Exceptions do not break the rule. Sometimes. Those who escape. Those who escape, sometimes. In their leading places, that is, where business is done, their own men sit.

That is why in every matter the decision comes out in their favour.

That is the Jew.

And you drive your own man away from you. I will show you something. Pay close attention. An event happens, panels are set up on television, judgments begin, proposals are put forward. They list one by one the instructions they have received. They interrogate the state. They bring out laws.

In this way they judge people, the innocent, as guilty. Look, pay attention to the televisions.

It starts right away, a panel is set up, they start talking. First of all it draws you directly to itself. Then slowly, slowly, they talk to you the way some people's supporters talk in favour of them — that is how they talk.

Let us know our people well. Let us know well whoever serves this state. Let us not cause division in this nation. Let us be one body against those who want to set us against one another. The Jew is trying to separate you from yourself. He is trying to separate you even from your own child in the schools.

So win your self back.

Islam is one body. There is no division, no separateness. Why is it one body? It is unity, togetherness. Why?

Because they prostrate to one God. By prostrating to that one God with their foreheads in prostration before the Most Merciful, they believe in Him and serve Him. In this case hearts find peace, and Allah strengthens their hearts. That is why Islam is one body. Those who want to separate you from these, who want to drive you away from these — do not be carried away by them.
