Ar-Ra'd 25: Those who gave a bad covenant (by denying Allah) despite knowing Allah, those who abandon that which Allah has ordered to be held together (relation to relatives) and who make mischief on earth, for them is damnation. And the bad dwelling (in the hell) is for them.

The misinterpretation

Those who break their covenant with Allah after they have firmly established it, who abandon what Allah has commanded to be obeyed (ties of kinship), and who make mischief in the land, the curse is for them. And the evil home (hell) was theirs

The right translation

Those who gave a bad covenant (by denying Allah) despite knowing Allah, those who abandon that which Allah has ordered to be held together (relation to relatives) and who make mischief on earth, for them is damnation. And the bad dwelling (in the hell) is for them.

Explanation

This is where the mistake is made: Those who break their pledge to Allah after they have strengthened it, and the truth is: Those who (disbelieved and) made a bad covenant, though they knew Allah. The translators who have opened such verses have always opened them incorrectly and attributed shortcomings to our Lord. No human being can go beyond his promise and destiny. No creature can go beyond the program of our Lord. Because our Lord says in His Verse that We create what We have created perfect.

In the 41st verse of this Surah, Our Lord says: "Have they not seen Us come upon the earth and diminish it around them? Allah judges. There is no one who can overturn His judgment. He is the swift Reckoner.

If they wrote this, interpreted it — yes. Verse 25 is a wrongly interpreted verse. Of course, accordingly, 26 has been interpreted wrongly, 27 interpreted wrongly. People with the same mindset — the same words, what will they do? Falsehood onto each other, onto falsehood, sir, the truth, that is, they will try to throw falsehood over the truth. But how nicely they will grin. How nice. What is it? He supposedly knows Arabic. And in Arabic he interpreted it like this. Before you know Arabic, first know Allah's verse. What does Allah's verse say? Allah's word does not refute itself. If you interpret Allah's word in a way that refutes it, what kind of Arabic is that?

Yes.

How beautifully he says it: Know yourself, yourself; if you do not know yourself, they will (?) your neck, he says. Yes. The word they gave to Allah — the twenty-fifth verse. Sir, the twenty-fifth verse of Surah Ar-Ra'd. After firmly strengthening the word they gave to Allah, (?) those who break it — you see, he does not know this, so he interprets it the same way. If he knew it, would he interpret it like this? He has the same thing repeated. Allah's — the things Allah commanded to be observed, the ties of kinship, those who abandon them and the earth corruption — who spread corruption on the earth, curse is for them.

And the evil abode, Hell, is theirs, it says. Yes. The beginning is wrong, the end is right.

Here let us read the correct version. Despite knowing Allah, those who deny, who deny and give an evil covenant.

What does it say here? After firmly strengthening the word they gave to Allah, it says. There is no such thing. Despite knowing Allah. These parts are important. If you cannot know these, you cannot interpret these verses. This is the creation of our spirits in the realm of Lahut, at the address Elestü bi-Rabbiküm. Allah Almighty is explaining verse 172 of Surah Al-A'raf here.

What does it say now here, in the wrong one? After firmly strengthening the word they gave to Allah, it says. Who strengthened it firmly? Whereas, despite knowing Allah, those who deny and give an evil covenant know that they were created as spirits, as people; there was no before; they know they were created by a Lord, that is, by a creator, but because they see Allah in a human form like themselves, they do not believe in Him. They wait for the Lord of their imagination. Now in this case, they firmly strengthened the word they gave to Allah, and those who deny despite knowing Allah and give an evil covenant know that they were created, but he does not know that the one before him is Allah.

He waits for his own creator. Why does he not recognise the one before him, our Lord, as the creator too? Because he sees Him as like himself, he thinks: He appeared before us saying 'I created you'. So Allah Almighty gives them time here. Within that time, will you never think, He says. Will you never use your reason, He says. Yes. Of course. Why don't we think? Why don't we think and use our reason? Look, I gave you a time, (?) an opportunity. If I had not created you, says Allah Almighty, would the one who created you introduce Me to you as the creator? What would he do? He would destroy Me, and destroy those who are Mine.

He would say I created you and come forward. No such one comes forward. Since none comes forward, don't you ever use your reason? A moment ago you did not exist, now you exist. I say I created you. The Prophet is beside Him too, and he confirms it. Yes, this is our Lord. Believe in this. This is our Lord who created us. Saying 'He is our Lord', sir, he tries to introduce Allah Almighty to people. Yes. This is like (?), of course.

In this case, in this case, those who deny despite knowing Allah and give an evil covenant, the things Allah commanded to be joined — He commanded them to be joined. That is, He commanded them to be strengthened. What is this? Do not cut the ties of kinship, He says. Look. Do not cut the ties of kinship. Those who abandon the ties of kinship and spread corruption on the earth — curse is for them. Allah protect us. May Allah protect us from such an end. Curse is for them. And the evil abode, Hell, is theirs too. Do not cut off contact with your relatives. Those who cut off contact with relatives cut off contact with other people very easily.

And in this case, too, breaking the chain of Islam, he leaves the bond of Islam, and with the yoke Satan put around his neck, chasing selfish grudges, he drifts away and goes from Allah. And he does not notice it at all. A person stands at the seashore, a wave comes and hits his feet. The sand at the seashore, as the wave recedes, draws him in, and he does not notice. That person does not notice. So in the religion of Islam, too, those who break the ties of kinship slide like this into faithlessness, and do not notice.
