Al-Baqarah 85: And you are those who kill their own. You drive some among you out of their homelands, oppress them, and help each other in animosity towards them. If they come to you, becoming your captives, you will treat them as captives for a return, but you will not allow them to remain in their homes. You are doing this despite being forbidden to drive them out of their homes; thus, you believe in part of the Torah and deny part of it. Now, for those who do not listen to my covenant, the punishment is disgrace in this world, and in the hereafter; it is to be thrown into the most severe punishment. Allah is aware of what you are doing.

The misinterpretation
Contrary to your promise, you, who accept this agreement, kill each other, drive a group of you out of their homeland, and unite against them in malice and enmity. Although it is forbidden for you to expel them from their homes (both expelling them), you ransom them when they come to you as captives. Or do you believe in part of the book and deny part of it? The punishment of those of you who act like this is only disgrace in the life of this world; On the Day of Judgment, it is to be pushed into the most severe torment. Allah is never heedless of what you do.
The right translation
And you are those who kill their own. You drive some among you out of their homelands, oppress them, and help each other in animosity towards them. If they come to you, becoming your captives, you will treat them as captives for a return, but you will not allow them to remain in their homes. You are doing this despite being forbidden to drive them out of their homes; thus, you believe in part of the Torah and deny part of it. Now, for those who do not listen to my covenant, the punishment is disgrace in this world, and in the hereafter; it is to be thrown into the most severe punishment. Allah is aware of what you are doing.
Explanation
They have continued to attribute shortcomings to our Lord by using the same word in the error in this verse. It reads: ("You who have accepted this covenant, contrary to your promise, kill one another and expel a group of you from their homes and unite against them in evil and enmity.) Whatever promise people have made to Allah, that promise has become their destiny. Our Lord does not introduce Himself to people with incomplete attributes. When people make promises to Allah and break their promises in the worldly realm, it means that our Lord was unable to write their covenant, that is, their promises, as their destiny, and even though they have made a covenant with Allah, since they have the mind to break their promises in the worldly realm, it means that our Lord was incapable of giving them their covenant, hasha! Our Lord is also unaware of what they will do in the future. This is contrary to our Lord's verse in the Qur'an: There is not a single living creature that will come until the Day of Resurrection that we do not know what it will do. The truth of this verse is: Then you are the ones who kill your own people.
What is said in the video
That is, the book in their hands bears witness to what Allah Almighty said. And since this book is in your hands too, you too are witnesses to it, it says. Yes, how beautifully it says it. You too are witnesses to it. Verse 85; this one is longer than that. You who accepted this covenant. Now he has gone completely off the rails.
The translation, that is. Not the verse, God forbid. The verse guides us. Because these are not knowledge, here they translate it sloppily, the way they understood it. That is, by fitting Allah Almighty into their own minds, they try to give meaning in this way. How is it that he gives meaning like this? Because they have no inner knowledge. Outward-minded scholars do not accept the inner. They say there is no inner knowledge. Whereas knowledge is twofold. Both outer and inner. If there is no inner knowledge, it means the prophets have no knowledge either. It means the prophets made it up themselves.
Because Allah Himself teaches the prophets by way of revelation. He sends the verses. And to scholars, to people who have reformed their nafs, risen to the nafs-i raziye, who have ilmel yakîn, too, by engraving the meanings of the verses in those people, by explaining them, He raises them. Yes, he has no teacher in the world. What happened now? He found this knowledge. How did he find it? He found it inwardly. Now the outward-minded one: I have licked ink. Twenty years, thirty years I studied. I wore out my elbows on the desks. Saying 'I have studied hard', out of ego he does not accept inner knowledge.
Even though Allah Almighty sends the truth to people, he addresses it with his mind and false paths he embraces. He tries to cast falsehood over the truth. He cannot grasp the meaning of the verse 'Truth has come and falsehood has vanished'. Yes. That verse, 'Truth has come and falsehood has vanished', according to his own mind he generalises the verse. He passes a judgement according to his mind. According to that judgement he fits the ruling to the verse. He tells the person opposite him: this of yours is false, it does not fit this. Yes. Whereas he himself does not know the verse. He does not know its meaning. If he knew, look, he would not have translated it like this here.
What does it say here? You who accepted this covenant. Do you know what happens here? With this much of his words, where did He bind the covenant? The pact was made in the address 'Am I not your Lord?'. We took a covenant from them, it says. We made them witnesses against themselves and said, We are your Lord, it says. In this case, since no one can break this covenant, since Allah Almighty bound the covenant with these too: Allah could not bind the covenant firmly, and over that covenant Allah had bound and thought strong, the human mind rose above Allah's mind and broke that covenant.
That is the meaning. I am not making this up. That is what it comes to. You who accepted this covenant, contrary to the word you gave, kill one another, it says. That's it. He gave it, but I do not recognise it, he says. I will kill this one, he says. They were not supposed to kill people, were they. He broke that covenant. Whereas in his covenant, sir, there lies rebellion against Allah, and in return for that covenant he had his script written in the address "Elestü bi Rabbiküm". He came into the world as an actor. He is acting out in the world the script he had written. And Allah Almighty, in return for the work he will do through actual deeds, according to his wishes and desire creates causes for him.
And that person, with the deeds he has done, sir, with his actual deeds, proves what kind of person he is. According to this verse, well, let us put it this way, according to this translation, let us read the translation to you once more. You who accepted this covenant, contrary to the word you gave, kill one another. Driving a group among you out of its homeland, with evil and enmity you unite against them, it says. They are breaking the covenant. He had made a covenant, hadn't he. Well, now here, that the covenant will not be broken, Allah Almighty also tells us with this verse. Verse 134 of Surah Taha must be understood very well.
One must take it to heart. If We had destroyed them, it says, with a punishment. But what does it say? Before the Quran, before the Quran, if We had destroyed them with a punishment. Who are they? What does 'before the Quran' mean? When We made a covenant with people before they came into the world, when We wrote their wishes according to their covenant, their wish and desire, We know what they are. If We had, according to this wish and desire of yours, thrown you into the fire of Hell, you would have said to Us, it says: if only You had sent us prophets and books. That so that you would not fall into this vile disgrace, He says, these worlds to you I would not have sent. Now what is this?
No one will be able to question Allah Almighty. Allah's attribute of being Allah. The real, essential meaning of this verse: Allah Almighty, in the address 'Am I not your Lord?', in human form, to those three groups of people addresses all the people He created, and because He appeared before people in human form, exactly in human form, because of that, perhaps, seeing Me like this, that I created them, that is, seeing Me in human form, that I created them, they could not believe. Let Me create a separate world for them, let Me send them to that world. In a realm where My Being is not seen, let Me send them prophets and books too.
Again they will do this deed, but no deficiency to Me will they be able to attribute. This is the greatness of Allah. He created these worlds just for this word. Yes.
What does it say? Driving them out of their homes, although it is forbidden to you, you both drive them out and, when they come to you as captives, you pay ransom and save them, if you save them, you save them, it says. Or do you believe in one part of the Book and deny another part? As if Allah does not know this. The punishment for those of you who act like that, on the Day of Judgement too, on the Day of Judgement, is to be pushed into the severest punishment. Allah is never unaware of what you do. True, many parts of these are correct, but those parts are wrong. Now let me look at this and explain the correct one to you, here.
Then you are those people who, a group from among you, driving them out of their homes, unite against them in oppression and enmity, helping one another. If they come to you as captives, you treat them as captives for ransom, and still you do not allow them to stay in their homes.
Whereas driving them out of their homes had been forbidden to you. In this case you believe in part of the Torah and deny part of it. Allah Almighty knows; He is addressing them. Now the punishment for those of you who do not heed My covenant is only disgrace in the world and baseness. Disgrace and baseness in the world. On the Day of Judgement it is to be thrown into the severest punishment. Allah is never unaware of what you do, it says. Now there is also a beautiful word here.
In the world, it says, in return for what you do there is disgrace and baseness, it says. Now here, in response to this verse, I will tell you a verse.
What does it say somewhere? I will tell you a verse that is translated wrongly. We created you, that is, the Children of Israel, honoured above the worlds. They put a full stop to it there. That is why the Israelites consider themselves the masters of mankind.
Well, you translate it like this.
He created the Children of Israel honoured above the worlds.
Being created honoured means these people never step outside Allah's commands in any way. Even though they were created incomplete, with small mistakes, since they do not rebel against Allah, it means Allah's chosen servants. They themselves accept it like this anyway. Well then, if the meaning of this verse is that the Children of Israel are honoured above the worlds, when He says We cursed them, does not one word of Allah would one word of Allah not contradict another? Whereas whatever Allah Almighty said in pre-eternity and at the beginning, so it is in eternity. Allah does not belie one word of His with another.
Here too, how beautifully it says it. What does it say? This is exactly where it comes out.
Now the punishment for those of you who cannot heed My covenant is only disgrace and baseness in the world. Well, can there be disgrace and baseness for one created honoured? He is created honoured. He has a rank too. Today a member of parliament, let me tell you, insults people. Or, I don't know, swears. No one can say anything. He is a member of parliament. Forty thousand, fifty thousand people elected him as their deputy. First, sir, they file a dossier against him. Sir, if they find him in the wrong, they strip him of his seat. After that they call him to account. Well, if they were created honoured above the worlds, Allah Almighty the people of the Children of Israel removed their honour from them, but cursed them.
Is there such a verse?
Then Allah Almighty's verses contradict one another. But people who look for a calf under an ox, or else those who say I am a scholar and, carried away by worldly desire, for material gain, to earn money, translate the verses with lies and errors, if they give fatwas like this according to their minds, they try to turn Islam into superstition. But Islam, every two hundred years, goes through five stages. Islam, and within these five stages, people prove very well what kind of people they are. In the first forty years falsehood enters, in the second forty years falsehood is cleansed, in the third forty years Islam stays at its peak, in the fourth forty years Islam declines, in the fifth forty years falsehood enters again.
Yes. Two hundred years. In this, Allah Almighty, they play their game. They prove themselves. And according to Allah Almighty's verse, with their mouths blowing, did they think they would put out Allah's light? Allah will continue His light until the Day of Judgement. Here there is one more wrong verse. One more verse translated that way. Allah will complete His light until the Day of Judgement, it says. Now when we say 'will complete until the Day of Judgement', one must pay great attention to the words. When it says 'will complete', the religion is incomplete. He will complete His religion until the Day of Judgement.
It means that too. But when it says 'will continue until the Day of Judgement': inned dine indallahil İslam, the religion with Me is Islam. And in the most perfected way, in such a way that nothing more, neither by any deficiency nor by any addition, will be done to it, Allah Almighty the Holy Quran, on the religion of Islam, sir, to the world, to the Prophet, to all the worlds, has sent. In this case, within words the verses change meaning. One must pay great attention to these meanings.
