Translation

We have not destroyed any town that did not have admonishers.

Tafsir

Allah does not destroy any town suddenly or without warning. This is not worthy of Allah's glory. Because Allah is the owner of justice. He even commands people (spread justice on the earth). If a kuffar rules with justice, that town will survive because of his justice. But if he passes away as a kuffar, all his good deeds will have been in vain. Even if they are kuffar who rule with justice, as long as they rule with justice, they are under the mercy of Allah while they are in this world.

Allah (swt) first sends Prophets and warners to the people of the towns He destroys. He invites these people to the Truth through His messengers. But the people who will be destroyed, despite being invited to the Truth, do not give up their immorality, nor do they stop causing mischief and mischief on the earth. They also do not refrain from oppressing the weak and helpless on earth. In this case, Allah, the absolute owner of the universe, gives warnings to such oppressive people. But those who do not listen to these warnings, who deny Allah and His Prophets, and who do not desist from their evil deeds, are subject to the destruction of Allah.

What is said in the video

To verse 208 of Surah Ash-Shu'ara we have now come.

Without there being conveyors of the message for them, for whom? For these people. Or for non-Muslims. That is, surely, without a conveyor of the message being there for them, for them, We have destroyed no town, He says. What a beautiful thing He says. Unless We sent to the center of that town people who would make Our Being known and conveyed the message, We did not destroy that town, He says in another verse as well. When He says the center of that town, it means everyone at the center hearing it. We do not call anyone to account for a thing We have not made known. The verses always support one another.

Allah Almighty does not destroy any town suddenly or without warning. This does not befit Allah's majesty. Because Allah is just. He even commands people: spread justice on earth. If a disbeliever rules with justice, because of this justice that region remains standing. But if in the end he still passes on to the hereafter as a disbeliever, all the good deeds he did are wasted. So even if they are disbelievers ruling with justice, as long as they rule with justice, they are under Allah's mercy while in this world.

And we say — to our people, our nation, the children of this homeland we call out. Events are appearing before our eyes. Allah Almighty says: hundreds of miracles appear before your eyes, you are blind, you do not see. Hodja, what are these miracles? Look, a person of complete faith has come to the head of this state. In his prayer, in his ablution. Wherever in the world an oppressed person is wronged, he rushes to help him. Is there money? Allah gives it. From where? From Allah's unknown doors. We are hosting three and a half million Syrian migrants. We are the Ansar, they are the Muhajirun.

How are their food, their drink, their needs being met?

They are met according to this verse. If you cannot worship in one place, migrate to your brothers who are able to worship. Allah's earth is wide, there is better provision for you there, He says.

So Allah gives to our state too. He gives to our nation.

In this situation Turkey is now waging cross-border war abroad. The dollar is falling.

Our currency holds its place. Because Allah is behind us, He gave us technology. He gave us our weapons. He cut off all the (?) we would buy from abroad. And now we go on with our own strength. Another miracle: America's budget has shut down. World leadership has collapsed. According to surveys in the world, China or Germany are pointed to as world leaders. Why did it collapse? It commits injustice. It spreads oppression in the world. Wherever it goes, it sheds blood. It does wrong. It occupies wherever it goes. Yes. This is Allah. Do you not see this? Our eyes are blind, but we cannot see.

Yes.

Without a conveyor of the message being there for them, We have destroyed no town, He says.

And we keep conveying the message anyway. The ways you make are wrong. The ways you go are wrong. You are together with bloodshedding terrorists. Its end is bad. Lying down with (?), one endures its torment. That's how it is. We say it all. If you still continue, Allah will give you your calamity.

And after that, you twist things to save face. Sir, we spoke wrongly. Look, we spoke wrongly. We are not creating a military force at the border. A military security. We are ensuring security there. What is security, what is force?

As they say, to cover up the mistake, the shame he commits is bigger than his mistake. Still seeking to seize the nation's land, setting up little mini-states there, PYD, PKK, CHP, (?) HDP, setting up such little mini-states there, and those mini-states very nicely used under its own will, the oil coming out of there, and the gas, to rule over them, I mean.

Not even one state. Tiny little mini-states. That is for keeping them occupied. This is Allah, after all. Now He is having the slap delivered. So what happened to you, the mighty state? You sent five thousand truckloads of material. Allah will raze you to the ground. This was Allah's law. Let me tell you. They will get even worse. Yes. And they will be disgraced. That is how they will withdraw.

Allah's verses are clear. Allah Almighty does not destroy any town suddenly and without warning. This does not befit Allah's majesty. Because Allah is just. He even commands people: spread justice on earth. If a disbeliever rules with justice, because of this justice that town remains standing. But if in the end he still passes on to the hereafter as a disbeliever, all the good deeds he did are wasted. So even if they are disbelievers ruling with justice, as long as they rule with justice they are under Allah's mercy while in this world. To the towns that are destroyed, Allah Almighty first sends to their people prophets and warners. He has these people invited to the truth through His messengers.

But the people who are to be destroyed, despite being invited to the truth, neither give up their immorality, nor from drowning the earth in strife and corruption do they desist. Moreover, they do not refrain from oppressing the helpless and weak on earth. In this situation Allah, the absolute Owner of the universe, issues to such unjust peoples warnings. But those who ignore these warnings and Allah and the prophets deny, as they do not give up their evil deeds either, are subjected to Allah's destruction. After this, since they are not destroyed, Allah's calamities (?) surround, and slowly, slowly they are dragged toward destruction.

Yes.
