Translation

Most of those who listen to them (devils) and follow them, are liars.

Tafsir

People who turn away from Allah and live with what Allah forbids, listen to the temptation of the devils and follow their footsteps. But most people in this situation are liars. The devils, on the other hand, are liars. And their oaths are the amusement of their hearts.

Demons belong to the jinn. The jinn also have the divine and the profane. That is, there are those who deny Allah and those who know Allah as one and believe. Therefore, when it is said that most of them are liars, it means that in addition to the devils, there are also the higher ones of the jinn, and among them there are some who are truthful and who believe in Allah.

What is said in the video

Surah Ash-Shu'ara, verse 223, the noble verse.

They give ear to the devils, and most of them, and most of them are liars, it says. It doesn't say all of them; look how beautifully it puts it. Among them there are also those who don't lie. But most of them are liars. Yes. So: people who move away from Allah and live intertwined with what Allah has forbidden. They give ear to the (?) of the devils and follow their footsteps. But most people in this state are liars. As for the devils, they are liars anyway. And their oaths are the amusement of their hearts. He says: that oath of mine is the amusement of my heart.

The devils belong to the race of the jinn. Among the jinn too there are the lofty and the base. That is, there are those who deny Allah and those who know Allah as One and believe. So when it says most of them are liars, apart from the devils, among the jinn there are lofty ones as well. Though few, among them there are truthful ones, ones who believe in Allah. Yes. Now that comes to my mind. I'm having a dream. In my dream they say we will introduce you to the jinn. I'm hesitant. I'm in Samsun. We have a saint's tomb there. Erse Baba. Our brother knows it. As it used to be. Very hesitantly I come there.

You know, they're going to introduce me to the jinn. Now inside, in a place like a room, when the jinni sees me he says exactly this to me: Why are you hesitant, he says. You are a Muslim human and we are Muslim jinn, he says.

Then something softens inside me, but I woke up. That's all. I mean, when the Prophet recited the Quran, you know, the jinn say: we heard a Quran, they say. (?) Our elder turned out to be a liar, he deceived us, they say.
