Translation

Say; “Obey Allah and Allah’s Messenger.” If they turn away, certainly, Allah does not like blasphemy.

Tafsir

The reason for the revelation of this verse is that Abdullah Ibn Ubayy, one of the hypocrites, said about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that he makes worshipping him like worshipping Allah. He commands us to love him the way Christians love Jesus, that is, the way they love him as the son of Allah.

However, Allah says in one of His verses, "No prophet invites people to himself". The Prophet, who came as a mercy to the worlds, invited people to the truth, day and night, so that people would find salvation. How can one not love the prophet who came as a mercy to mankind, who strived to make people servants of Allah? In order for people to be in unity and solidarity in the universe, Allah (swt) seeks the salvation and salvation of mankind by inviting them to Allah (swt), the One and Only God, to the last prophet, the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.), and to the Qur'an.

Therefore, follow and obey Allah and His Messenger so that you may find salvation. Do not fail to obey Allah and His Messenger. And whoever disobeys them and turns away, know that Allah does not love those who continue in disbelief. Such hypocrites want to turn people away from Allah by confusing the words "obey" with "obey". Allah, as the Creator, will create all kinds of blessings for man, and this man will eat and drink and enjoy Allah's blessings and turn his back on the giver of these blessings and be ungrateful and rebellious and deny Allah.

If we think as human beings, is such a state tolerable? In this respect, Allah does not love societies that continue to disbelieve. Those who are inclined towards them think that they are free while they are living in this world, but they will wake up when they are caught in the state of death and the yoke is put on their necks. It is because Allah is compassionate and merciful to His servants that He constantly warns people and seeks their welfare and well-being by inviting them to Allah and His Messenger.

The Qur'an is a miracle. It is such a miracle that all the secrets of the universe are hidden in the Qur'an. In this respect, Allah says, "I have a Book which is preserved on the Levh-i Mahfuz and no addition or omission can be made to it." Allah says, "I have a Book which is preserved on the Levh-i Mahfuz and no addition or omission can be made to it. That is to say, by sending the Qur'an to people, Allah makes Himself known, shows miracles through His prophets, and proves His existence in every way. He declares His Verses so that people may be servants to Him and ummahs to His Messenger, so that people may live in peace on earth and have mercy in the Hereafter.

What is said in the video

Surah Al Imran, verse 32, a verse that is wrongly explained.

First we read the wrong interpretation. Say: Obey Allah and His Messenger. Correct. If they turn away, let them know that Allah does not love the unbelievers. Yes. The correct verse is: Say: Obey Allah and His Messenger. If they turn away, let them know that Allah does not love unbelief. Not the unbelievers. He does not love unbelief. Now, when you say 'the unbelievers' here, the meaning changes. What does the meaning become? Let's learn that first. If you say He doesn't love the unbelievers — well, the person is an unbeliever. This time the person turned to Islam, and Allah Almighty — he was an unbeliever, He didn't love him.

Now He loved him. But He does not love unbelief. Even if you are within Islam, according to the verse 'do not be like them', what is done — the traits of that state of unbelief and the things outside the religious ruling — He does not love. Yes. The reason these verses were revealed: Abdullah ibn Ubayy, one of the hypocrites, about the Prophet Muhammad: he presents worship of himself like worship of Allah. Just as Christians love Jesus — that is, God forbid, as they feel affection for him as son of God — he commands us to feel such affection for him, he says. God forbid. There is a hadith of the Prophet.

He says: Value me as much as is due. As much as is due. That is: do not regard me as the person matching the words these presumptuous people have said, he says. Yes.

Yet Allah says in a verse that no prophet invites people to himself. The Prophet, who came as a mercy to the worlds, so that people might find salvation, invited people to the truth night and day.

The Prophet who came as a mercy to people, striving to make people servants of Allah — is he not to be loved? So Allah, so that people in the universe are in unity and togetherness, by inviting them to Allah, the one God, to the last prophet, after whom no prophet will come, Muhammad (peace be upon him), and to the Quran, wants people's salvation and well-being.

That is why: Follow and obey Allah and His Messenger so that you may prosper, He says. Do not fall short in obeying Allah and His Messenger. Whoever does not obey them and turns away, let them know that Allah the unbelievers — those who persist in unbelief — does not love. Such hypocrites — 'obey, obey' — twisting their words, want to drive people away from Allah. Allah, as the Creator, will create every kind of blessing for man, and this man will happily eat and drink Allah's blessings and live in pleasure; to the giver of the blessings offered him he will turn his back, be ungrateful, rebel and deny Allah.

Yes, if we think about it, is such a state a state one can stomach? Such a state. That is why Allah does not love communities that persist in unbelief. Those inclined to them, who think themselves free while living in this world, these people, when seized by death and yoked at the neck, will wake up. Because Allah is tender and merciful to His servants, He constantly warns people and, by inviting them to Allah and His Messenger, wants their salvation and their good. Yes. The Quran is a miracle, the Quran is a miracle. Such a miracle that all the secrets of the universe are kept in the Quran. Therefore, with Allah there is a book that is preserved in the Preserved Tablet; to it later neither an addition nor a reduction is made, He says. So Allah, by sending the Quran to people, makes His being known, shows miracles through His prophets, and proves His existence in every way. That people become servants to Him and a community to His Beloved, that people live in peace on earth and attain mercy in the hereafter — for this Allah Almighty makes His verses perfectly clear.

Yes.
