Tafsir

My Messenger! If they still turn away after these warnings of yours, if they do not listen to you and enter the Religion of Islam in the face of so many truths, tell them that I have explained to you all what I have been commanded. It is Allah who commands. The one who explains is His servant and His Messenger, Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). He continues his verse in terms of Allah (swt) informing the Prophet (s.a.w.) to the people.

I do not know whether what you have been promised (the time of your gathering at the Judgment) is near or far away. It is in Allah's knowledge when human life will come to an end or when the Hour will come. Therefore, he said, I do not know when you will be gathered in the Judgment and when you will die, whether it is near or far. This is in the knowledge of Allah. Because Allah holds the key to all the unseen.

What is said in the video

Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 109: If they turn away, say: I have made clear to all of you what I was commanded. What was I commanded? The Prophet says so: What was I commanded? La ilahe illallah Muhammeden Resulullah. There is no god other than Allah, Muhammad is His servant and messenger. Yes, La İlahe İllallah Muhammeden Resulullah. This was commanded to me. To all the worlds.

The testimony of faith is apart from this, pay attention. La ilahe illallah Muhammeden Resulullah is one thing. Saying Eşhedü en la ilahe illallah ve eşhedü enne Muhammeden abdühü ve resulühü is another. One must know the difference between them. What is this difference? La ilahe illallah Muhammeden Resulullah: to the worlds, Muhammad was sent as a prophet. It was made known that there is no god other than Allah. With the last one sent, the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Quran was sent down to the worlds. This is the meaning of La ilahe illallah Muhammeden Resulullah. When we say Eşhedü en la ilahe illallah ve eşhedü enne Muhammeden abdühü ve resulühü, "I bear witness that there is no god other than Allah and Muhammad is His servant and messenger", it is Islam itself.

Among the people who come into the worlds, it is the separation of Islam from the non-Muslim. Here, la ilahe illallah Muhammeden Resulullah is to the people in the world, to the jinn; Eşhedü en la ilahe illallah ve eşhedü enne Muhammeden abdühü ve resulühü: from these people and jinn the separation, for those who are Muslim. Yes.

My Beloved, after these warnings of yours, still... let us read the verse. O, if they turn away, say: I have made clear to all of you what I was commanded. Now, I do not know whether what you are promised, the time of your gathering at the Mahshar, is near or far, He says. My Beloved, if after these warnings of yours they still turn away, if against so many truths they do not listen to you and do not enter the religion of Islam, say: What I was commanded I have made clear to all of you. The one who commands is Allah. The one who makes it clear is His servant and messenger, the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad (peace be upon him). Allah Almighty, so that it is made known to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and to people, continues His verse.

Now, I do not know whether what you are promised, the time of your gathering at the Mahshar, is near or far. When a human life will end or when the Last Day will break, this is in Allah's knowledge. Therefore he said: When the gathering at the Mahshar will be and when you will die, whether this is near or far, I cannot know. This is in the knowledge of Allah Almighty. Because all the keys of the unseen are in Allah's hand. Yes.
