Ar-Ra'd 11: (For all people) there are protecting followers (angels) by Allah’s order in front of them and behind them. Unless a nation changes its characteristics, Allah will not change what it has. When a nation desires evil from Allah, there is no returning it (once Allah’s order is given). And they have no helpers other than Allah.

We have reached Surah Ar-Ra'd, praise be to Allah.

Before him and behind him there are followers guarding him by Allah's command — angels. Correct. Until a people change the qualities in themselves, Allah does not change what is in them. How beautifully it says it. Correct. When Allah wills evil for a people, then for it there is no turning it back. Good heavens, Allah would will evil for a people, look. Whereas in the verse (?), Allah does not will injustice for people; you wrong your own selves — with that verse how it contradicts, how these parts contradict. Yes, then there is no turning it back for it. Besides Allah, they also have no helper. (?) is correct, of course.

Now we read the correct version. For each person, before him and behind him there are followers guarding him by Allah's command — angels. Here it says 'before him'. Behind and before. Before him and behind him there are followers guarding him by Allah's command — angels. Here 'for each person' is in parentheses. Before him and behind him there are followers guarding him by Allah's command — angels. Until a people change the qualities in themselves, Allah does not change what is in them. This is also correct.

If we were obedient to Allah Almighty, were grateful for what He gives and carried out Allah's commands, Allah would not will injustice for us either. Now if we think about it like this, if we think about it: in the time of our ancestors, that is, in the time of our fathers, or until recently, there were no calamities in Turkey.

These calamities were in the countries of the non-Muslims. That is, We give them three or two calamities a year, it says. Just as they help one another, if only they had asked Me for some help too, says Allah Almighty. Now in this situation we have outdone the non-Muslims' way of life. Our bellies are bare. Sir, our breasts are out. With trousers, our private parts are out. If we walk around in shorts, if we (?) the unbelievers, what have we done? Sir, we have changed our own qualities. When we change our qualities, our culture, the attribute of justice of Allah Almighty becomes manifest, and the calamities He gave them come to us as well.

Pay attention. The rains do not fall normally. Each of them is given as a calamity, as a disaster. What does Allah Almighty do? Hail, floods, disasters, destruction happen, lightning strikes happen, earthquakes happen, volcanoes erupt. Well, these, aren't these disasters? Why don't we pull ourselves together and say: this is a calamity for us, this is a warning to us; what does the One who created us want from us? Did He leave us to ourselves? Did He want us to walk around outside so shamelessly, so indecently? Is He going to appear before us and say, I created you, you did not obey My command, and warn them like that?

In the verse He says: people see Me but cannot perceive Me. We sent you to an unseen (?) world. So in this unseen world, a world where our Lord is not seen, if we act outside His commands, we get Allah's slap like this. We get Allah's slap. This is a slap from Allah, our Lord, to us. If only people could tell it apart and know it, tell it apart. Yes.

What does it say? When a people wishes evil from Allah — it says. A people. When a people wishes evil from Allah? Whereas what does it say here? When Allah wills evil for a people? Whereas: when a people wishes evil from Allah? Would a person ask Allah for evil? Well, you took Satan as your guide. On the path he showed you, you were stripped naked. As he stripped Adam and our holy Mother in paradise, let him not strip you too. Despite Allah Almighty warning us with this verse, if we follow Satan, take Satan as our guide and do what he says, if we walk the path of an accursed Satan, we get the slap.

So what does it say? Allah does not change what is in them. When a people wishes evil from Allah, once Allah's command goes out there is no turning it back. Yes, once Allah's command goes out, floods like this, earthquakes like this, volcanoes like this, storms like this sweep them away.
