Translation

Do My servants think that they will leave Me and adopt the infidels as companions? We have prepared the hell as a place of dwelling for the blasphemers.

Tafsir

The absolute ruler and creator of this entire universe is Allah (swt). There is no god other than Him. So those who do not believe in Allah and the Hereafter, who are enemies of Allah and His Prophets, who take Allah's creatures as friends and worship them and associate shirk with Allah, will Allah (swt) let them get away with it?

People come to play out the covenant they made with Allah (swt) in Kalu Bela in the realm of property. Every human being has been given a certain lifespan within his destiny. Within this lifetime, man plays out the destiny of the covenant he made with Allah (swt). Finally, according to the verse, "Every soul will taste death", he passes on to the Hereafter. He will give an account of his life in the world in the Court-i Kübra in the presence of Allah (swt).

These people, who seem to be adrift in the world, live their own destinies in the realm of property, which is an unseen realm, within the covenant they have made with Allah (swt). They witness themselves, their surroundings and Allah (swt) in the destinies they have lived with these desires and wishes, taking rewards and sins.

If they do not believe in Allah and the Hereafter, but deny the Books and Messengers of Allah (swt) in the worldly realm, such people are disbelievers in the sight of Allah (swt) by the revealed word of Allah (swt).

Allah has prepared Hell as a dwelling place for such people, for those who disbelieve in Him and mock His Prophets.

What is said in the video

We have come to Surah Al-Kahf, verse 102. Surah Al-Kahf, verse 102 is a verse that has been interpreted wrongly. First let us read the correct one. The correct one. Well, first let us read the wrong one. Then we will read the correct one. Did the disbelievers think that they could forsake Me and take My servants as friends? We have prepared Hell as a lodging for the disbeliever. What does it say? Now, did the disbelievers think that they could forsake Me and take My servants as friends? Whereas My servants, forsaking Me... what does it say here? Did the disbelievers think that, forsaking Me, they could take My servants as friends?

Whereas, did My servants think that, forsaking Me, they could take the disbelievers as friends? They have rendered it the exact opposite. What does it say? Did the disbelievers, forsaking Me, the disbelievers, forsaking Allah, think they could take My servants as friends? Did they think they could take My servants as friends? Aren't there also some among Allah Almighty's servants who incline toward them? Whereas, do My servants think they can forsake Me and take the disbelievers as friends? We have prepared Hell as a lodging for the disbelievers, it says. Yes.

Let us open this here.

Look, Surah Al-Kahf, verse 102:

Do My servants think they can forsake Me and take the disbelievers as friends? We have prepared Hell as a lodging for the disbelievers. The absolute ruler and creator of this whole universe is Allah Almighty. There is no god other than Him. So then, those who do not believe in Allah and the Hereafter, who are hostile to Allah and His prophets, who take what Allah created as friends and, by worshipping them, associate partners with Allah: will Allah Almighty let them get away with what they have done? The covenants people gave to Allah Almighty at Kalu Bela, they come to the material world to play out. Each person is given a certain lifespan within their destiny.

Within this lifespan, a person plays out the destiny of the covenant he gave to Allah Almighty. Finally, according to the verse "Every soul shall taste death", he passes on to the Hereafter. Allah Almighty, in the presence of Allah Almighty, at the Great Court, he gives account of his life in the world. These people, who seem to be left to their own devices in the world, in the material world, which is an unseen world, live out their own destinies within the covenants they gave to Allah Almighty. Within the destinies they lived with these desires and wishes, by earning reward and sin they hold themselves to themselves, to those around them and to Allah Almighty as witnesses.

If, not believing in Allah and the Hereafter, they denied in the world Allah Almighty's books and messengers, such people are disbelievers in Allah's sight, by the word Allah has made known. So for such people, who deny His being and make fun of His prophets, Allah has prepared His Hell as a place of lodging.
