We have sent a Messenger amongst them (who said), “Worship Allah. There is no God besides Allah. Won’t you abstain?

Tafsir

After Prophet Noah (peace be upon him), Allah created new generations on the earth. However, if there is disbelief in Allah in the human nature, these people, although they came right after the people who perished, did not take lessons and started disbelieving in Allah again. Since the nafs and shaytan work together, when the love of the world is added to this, people quickly become disbelievers in Allah. Allah (swt) addresses these people through the Prophets; O people! If people mock their Prophets and disbelieve in Allah and the Hereafter, despite Allah's saying, "Serve Allah, you have no helper but Allah and no God but Him, do you not fear Allah?" Allah will never hesitate to destroy them.

According to the narrations, this people, whose name is not given, is said to be the people of Hud or the people of Salih, who came after Noah. Although these Prophets invited their people to the one and only God, they continued to worship idols. Then they ignored the miracle that Allah (swt) showed them. Allah (swt) destroyed these tribes with the cause of amma. If people still persist and do not recognize Allah as Lord when He shows so many signs to people, they are wronging their own souls.

What is said in the video

Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 32 Among them, to them: "Serve Allah. You have no god other than Him. Will you still not fear Allah?" We sent a prophet conveying His message, it says.

After Noah (peace be upon him), Allah brought forth new generations on earth.

But if denial of Allah is in man's nature, where? In the call "Elestü bi Rabbiküm", in the world of souls, in the realm of lahut, when it was created, when Allah Almighty said "I am your Lord", if it turned its back on its Lord, then these people, although they came right after the people who were destroyed, took no lesson and again began to deny Allah. Since the nafs and Satan work together, when love of the world is mixed in as well, people have very quickly come to the point of denying Allah. Allah Almighty calls out to these people through the prophets. O people! Serve Allah. You have no helper other than Allah and no deity other than Him.

Although He says "Will you still not fear Allah?", if people mock their prophets and deny Allah and the Hereafter, then Allah never holds back from destroying them. They even killed their prophets. John, in prison, you see, because he would not give the king a fatwa, they sign his death warrant. John's king, Andokyan, was it? I can't quite remember his name right now.

His sister wants to give her daughter to the king. The king asks John for a fatwa. John does not give the fatwa.

But, he says, Moses had given a fatwa for this, he says. You know, they put themselves into the book. With their rabbis at the head, they changed Allah's word, you know.

John says: I do not speak with the tongue of Moses. I speak with the tongue of Jesus, he says. Thereupon Zechariah (peace be upon him), too, while coming to the prison to save his son, is followed by some Jews. And finally, when he realizes he is being followed, he gets inside a tree trunk. They close both ends of the trunk and cut John, (?). Such cruel people they are. Yes.

What does Allah Almighty say? O people! Serve Allah. You have no helper other than Allah and no deity other than Him either. Will you still not fear Allah? Although He says this, people mock their prophets. If they deny Allah and the Hereafter, then Allah never holds back from destroying them. According to the reports, the people whose name is not given is said to be the people of Hud, who came after Noah (peace be upon him), or the people of Salih (peace be upon him). Although these prophets too invited their peoples to the one Allah, these peoples went on worshipping idols. Then they disregarded the miracle that Allah Almighty showed them.

And Allah Almighty destroyed these peoples (?). Yet people still stubbornly resist Allah, who shows them so many lessons. If they do not recognize Allah as Lord, these people will have wronged their own selves. Yes.
