Al-Baqarah 123: And beware of the day in which no person can pay another, no bail will be accepted from anyone, no intercession will benefit (those who deny) and there is no help for them from any direction.

Wrong. Once it starts, it just goes on like that anyway.

"And on that day, and beware of that day when" — which day? At the Gathering. The Day of Reckoning. No one can pay anything for anyone. Neither a mother for her father, nor a father for his son, nor a son for his father; no one can pay anything for anyone. Why? Why can't they pay? What's the reason? Every single person has been sent as a vicegerent of the earth. Every single person, free in his own will, has made a covenant with Allah Almighty. Every single person will come into the world when his time comes. the script of the covenant he gave to Allah Almighty in the hereafter, that is, in the address 'Am I not your Lord?', he had it written.

In the world he will play that script as an actor. He himself will be responsible for the deeds he has done. In this case no one will be questioned for anyone else's deeds that he has done. But how are we responsible?

We are obliged to show the children entrusted to us the way of Allah until they reach the age of reason.

Yes.

Our culture, our religion, the way of Allah, we are obliged to teach to our children until they reach the age of reason. Because the non-Muslim saw this, he tried to remove the imam-hatip schools from primary school too. After the age of 12, he said. Yes, we are Muslims in name, in name. Yes, Allah accepts even that "in name", according to one's faith, but we don't live it.

What does it say? "And beware of that day when no one can pay anything for anyone." Everyone will suffer the punishment for what he did. "No ransom is accepted from anyone." You know, in the world you pay 10 thousand, 20 thousand, 50 thousand, 1 million, 3 million, 50 million, and you get across. Allah has no need of such a thing, because Allah is the Creator. All that He created and what He has given us are Allah's property. What does He say? Every soul shall taste death, and the inheritance of the heavens and the earth will remain with Allah. Or do you own anything of your world even as much as the kernel of a sprout?

If that were so, you would not be given anything of your world even as much as a kernel's sprout, He says. That is, are you able to create something from nothing? Apart from what I created, did I create a being when I found a formula myself? If that were so, you would see to your own needs yourself, and I would not give you anything, He says. Well, in that case what does it say? He'll pay a ransom and be saved. No ransom is accepted either, it says. If such a thing occurs to him, it says.

"Intercession will benefit no one", it says. Here.

It covers everyone in general here. That's where the mistakes come from anyway. "Nor will they be helped from any side." Intercession will benefit no one. Who are these? To the non-Muslims. But here it doesn't say it as non-Muslims. "And beware of that day when no one can pay anything for anyone. No ransom is accepted from anyone. Intercession will benefit no one." Here Allah Almighty is saying it about everyone. He's telling it about everyone without making a distinction. Whereas Allah Almighty, from seven to seventy people, that is, according to the saint's rank, will give the right of intercession for seven to seventy people.

In which verse do you say there's a right of intercession, Hodja? "Neither a stain nor sorrow will touch their faces", it says. This verse. His mother is going to Hell. A sinner but a Muslim, a sinner. A Muslim, but a sinner. Not like the other sinners, the sinners who have turned their backs on Allah, but Muslim sinners. She is going to Hell. The mother — her son, or her father, or maternal uncle, or paternal uncle — from seven up to seventy people, he takes them out there by intercession. To make them smile, to make that saint smile. Yes. "Neither a stain on their faces", it says. But can a saint have a stain?

It can. Man was not created free of error.

What happens in this case? "Well, this man you love did this to me." "Hmm", He says. "He did this to you. What do you want from him?" He says. "What do you want?" "If I gave you this, would you be content?" He says. "No." "Well, if I gave you this as well, would you be content?" "No." "Well, if I gave you this too, if I put you into Paradise?" We'll give it; there's the right of intercession, you see. "Oh my Allah, all right, I forgive my due", he says.

That is, this Allah, our Lord, of His mercy, His love and His compassion, set aside ninety-nine percent for Himself. With such a Creator, such an Owner, does a person turn his back on Him, follow his nafs and give up worshipping Him? Does he uncover himself like animals, strip stark naked and show himself off? Yes.

And the correct version of this is as follows. "And beware of that day when no one can pay anything for anyone. No ransom is accepted from anyone, and intercession will be of no benefit to the disbeliever." To the disbeliever. We separate it here in parentheses, we make a distinction. Intercession will not benefit the disbeliever. "Nor will they be helped from any side." Hodja, you too interpreted this according to your own mind.

Then let me tell you a verse. The verses must confirm one another, after all. In a verse Allah Almighty says this:

A person from whom you have lifted mercy, no one will help. No one can. So these, from whom mercy is lifted, are those who turn their backs on Allah, the One Being: the polytheists, the disbelievers, the idolaters, and also those in the lowest layer of Hell — who are they? The hypocrites. These. That is, to put it briefly, in this world, those who have turned their backs on Allah, people who have not been honoured with the light of Islam. Look, the verse is explicit. So why do you interpret this verse according to your own head? Verses don't contradict verses. Yes.
