They are such (disobedient) that they break their promise after making a firm promise. They give up the visit that Allah wants to be visited and asked about his condition, and they cause strife and mischief in the world. These are the losers.

If you know, explain. But if you don't know, keep quiet. So they take you for a scholar, it says. Yes.
Verse 27 of Surah Al-Baqarah has also been explained wrongly. Let's explain that one to you too.
They are such transgressors that after giving a firm promise they go back on their word. Wow, really. Wow. How did he go back on his word? "Must give a firm promise", we said, you know? In the realm of the hereafter, at the address, at the address there, the covenant of people with Allah Almighty. The wishes of the people who made the covenant with Allah Almighty were written for them as a script. That script was worked into people as characters. So no human can ever again step outside this character of his and go back on his word either. Yes. Just look at that. People who don't know these things, people who know nothing of the verses, how will they explain them?
This is how they explain them, ascribing attributes to Allah Almighty. Yes. We continue now. They give up the visit through which Allah wants to be visited and asked how He is. It's within that covenant of his. And they spread discord and corruption on earth. That too is within his covenant. These are the losers. So Allah did not lead them astray, you see. What did He do? They did not break their word. Within the covenant of the promise they gave, they carry out their movements, their actual carry out their actual deeds. If they had turned back from their covenants, Allah Almighty, that they would turn back from His covenant, He didn't know, and by the actual deeds he did, by his words, as in this world, he gave up his covenant. Then according to what did Allah Almighty program these worlds?
By what did Allah Almighty program these worlds? And within that program, doesn't He say: There is not a single living being until the Day of Judgment whose deeds We do not know. If they explain it in such nonsense ways, they turn the religion of Islam into superstition. Allah forbid. And they ascribe attributes to Allah as well. Does Allah exist or not? Because people's faith has weakened, one asks oneself this question, and just as people, like a bolting horse, running over whatever comes in front of it, the nafs too turns into a blaze, and just as that blaze burns all that comes before it, so people too, following their own nafs in the world this way, within Allah's commands, living with carnal feelings, today's, which Allah does not want, people emerge who are in a state of pushing Allah's limits.
Their private parts exposed. No fear of Allah. No shame before the Prophet. Their sense of modesty toward people has collapsed. Unashamed, even though uncovered all over, more vilely than an animal, this human, created honourable, walks around without shame, and when these are criticised, he says "he insulted me", and because the other's words did not flatter his nafs, he bears a grudge against the person, people who open the roads of torment for others. People who open the roads of sin. If we go on like this, far worse oppression will come upon us. Yes.
Now I'm reading the correct version of this. These transgressors make their covenant in a way that they will not listen to Allah's command. There, wa ashabul mash'amati ma ashabul mash'amah. The people of the left. The people of the left. They give up the visit by which they would visit Allah and ask how He is, as He wants. And they spread discord and corruption on earth. These are the losers. Yes. Oh, man.
Man, unaware of himself.
