Those who deny and prevent (others) from the path of Allah surely have gone far astray.
Tafsir
Those who disbelieve, and those who prevent others from the path of Allah and try to dominate their beliefs, such people have strayed away from the straight path, the path of Allah. They are using Allah's attribute of Merciful in this world and turning their backs on His attribute of Merciful, which will be needed in reality, in the Hereafter. People who turn away from the attribute of Rahim (Merciful) are subject to Shaytan (Satan), the enemy of Allah (swt), by taking advantage of Allah (swt)'s attribute of Rahman (merciful) and living in the realm of property, in the realm of their own will, in the realm of pleasure, in the realm of pleasure and in the realm of their own desires. They follow Satan's footsteps and satisfy their desires. These are they who have strayed away from the straight path.
They become so angry at the mention of Allah that the clouds in the sky crack. And as if their own sins were not enough for them, out of their pride and arrogance, out of their love of greatness, they try to turn people away from Allah, those who say Allah, those who obey Allah, those who follow His path, away from the path of Allah, by any means necessary, in order to satisfy the deified side of their ego. Such people will certainly be far away from the right path, and they will be on a misguided path.
While such people are completing their duties in the realm of property in accordance with their covenant with Allah, they see themselves as the rulers of the order they have established in their own understanding, and the angel and his ego, not believing that they will be held accountable after death and denying the Hereafter, makes them commit these acts. Of course, since this is their character, the angel only shows them a way, that's all. They follow the trail of that angel as if to satisfy their ego. They never think that the ummahs before them followed the same path and they were destroyed. Today, they have no share in the property, nor do they have a name. This is where man is deceived. Without thinking of death, even though a person realizes death, the nafs and shaytaan's dominance over the human being makes him forget that he is leading him to destruction by pushing death aside and seeing his existence above everyone else with the cruelty he has committed in the property today and giving him pride and arrogance.
Allah is addressing such people, saying, "Repentance is useless afterwards. Come, while you have the opportunity, ask Allah for forgiveness with repentance and ask forgiveness from Allah and do not leave the straight path of Allah.
What is said in the video
We have come to verse 167.
Those who disbelieve and also hinder others from Allah's path have surely strayed far from the right path, it says.
Those who disbelieve and hinder others from Allah's path, and over their beliefs try to establish domination — such people have strayed from Allah's path, the straight path, the sırat-ı müstakim. These, using Allah's attribute Rahman in this world, on the attribute Rahim — which they will truly need, that is, in the hereafter, in the (?) realm — on this attribute turn their backs. People who turn away from the attribute Rahim, benefiting from Allah Almighty's attribute Rahman, in the world of dominion, within their own partial will, living in pleasure and in the desires of the nafs, end up following Satan, the enemy of Allah.
Going in Satan's footsteps, they satisfy the desires of their nafs. These are the ones who have strayed from the straight path.
When we say the Basmala, we mention the attributes Rahman and Rahim.
In this world His mercy is for everyone; the attribute Rahim is only for the believer in the hereafter, he says. Yes.
Where Allah is mentioned, these get so angry that the clouds in the sky would crack. Moreover, as if their own sins were not enough for them, out of pride and arrogance, with their passion for greatness, out of their grandeur, to satisfy the deified side of their nafs, those who say Allah, those obedient to Allah who follow His path — turning them from Allah's path, resorting to any means if necessary, they try to draw people away from Allah. Such people will of course drift ever farther from the right path, and will increasingly be on a path of error.
Yes.
Such people, according to the covenants they gave Allah, in the world of dominion, while completing their duties, within their own understanding see themselves as the rulers of the order they have set up. Not believing that (?) and their nafs will be called to account after death, denying the hereafter, it makes them carry out these deeds. Of course, since their own character is like this, the accursed one only shows them a way. That's all. These follow the accursed one's trail, their nafs to satisfy (?) — those who follow. They never think that the communities before them, because they followed the same path, met with destruction.
Today they have neither a share in the world nor even a name left. This is exactly where man is deceived. Although man comprehends death, which comes as a truth, through the nafs and Satan's (?) over man, he pushes death aside; through the wrong he has done in the world today, his seeing himself above everyone, and its giving him pride and arrogance, makes him forget that it drags man to destruction. So Allah, calling out to such people: later, regret will be of no use. Come, while there is still a chance, with repentance and asking forgiveness, ask Allah for His pardon and forgiveness, and from the straight path, Allah's path, do not depart, He decrees, Allah Almighty.
