What is said in the video
verse.
Verse thirty-seven of Surah An-Nahl is a wrongly explained verse. My Messenger, it says, even if you are very eager for them to be guided, know that, and the Prophet truly worked very hard to guide people. Know, it says, that Allah does not guide the one He has led astray, unless He wills. Now they accuse Allah of injustice among His servants.
Allah Almighty never does injustice among His servants. When He sent us into the world, He knows who is Muslim, He knows who is a disbeliever, He knows who is an idol worshipper. Then why did He send us? That is, why did He send us? We always say this. Verse 134 of Surah Taha is very clear and plain.
If We had destroyed them before the Quran, it says. That is, if We had destroyed people before sending them into the world. Hodja, the Quran came later. The Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel are in the Quran. Is that so? Since the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel are in the Quran, and Allah's word too came into the world together with Adam, it says: if We had, before the Quran, with a punishment destroyed them. Where? At the address 'Am I not your Lord?' He knows what they are made of. He also knows what covenant each person gave. What would they have said, it says: if only You had sent us to an unseen world, or rather, an unseen world, it doesn't say that, but if only You had sent us prophets and books; there, an unseen world.
There, it says, if only we had not fallen into this lowly disgrace, it says. So now Allah Almighty is free of deficient attributes. No one will be able to question or call Him to account. Here Allah Almighty's attribute of Godhood manifests. He makes all the questions people would ask appear before Allah Almighty, and people are cut off from the questions they would ask against Allah Almighty. This is the proof of our Lord, of Allah. Now in this case, although Allah Almighty knows what they are, so that they prove themselves in an unseen world, that is, so that we prove ourselves, He has clothed us in the garment of a body.
He clothes us in an outward garment of a body. He provides us our outward appearance. And He sustains us with eating and drinking. He also places responsibility on us. We become a family, we have wives and children. He shows us the way with His verses. In this case, if we follow Allah's word, we attain Allah's mercy. If we step outside Allah's mercy, His word, we will have harmed our own selves. Now with the wrongly explained verses, these all support each other. With wrong verses. Allah, it says, took revenge on the selves, it says. Allah takes revenge on no one's self. Man takes revenge on his own self.
That's one. How does he take the revenge? Look now, how does he take it? We keep opening these up for you. These are all connected to each other. Will is of two kinds. One is universal will, and the other is partial will. Universal will: Allah Almighty does and creates whatever He wishes. Partial will: He creates man, gives the will into his own hand, without interfering with it in any way; whatever he desired from Allah Almighty, He gives him his desire. That is, the person who had the script written there plays his script in the world as an actor, plays the script he had written. In this case, in response to his desires and wishes, Allah Almighty creates causes in this vast universe.
When the person carries out those causes through actual deeds, he earns reward and sin. In this case man makes himself a witness against himself, against those around him, and against Allah Almighty. Now where here did Allah lead man astray?
So Allah supposedly leads man astray, sir, and if He doesn't will it, can't guide anyone. And what else does it say? Look now, on top of that, fault upon fault. Look now, look at the fault. Allah does not guide the one He has led astray, unless He wills. So, you know how they say: whom He wills to Paradise, whom He wills to Hell.
Here it says He doesn't guide unless He wills. That is, if the one He created is a bit pretty, if He likes him, He'll say: come on, you go this way. Whereas look now: My Messenger, even if you are very eager for them to be guided, know that whoever strays from Allah, the will is in himself, man's; whoever strays cannot reach guidance in that state. He cannot reach guidance in that state. What does it say? Allah does not guide the community of disbelievers. This verse is wrong. Wrongly explained. Yet is there no one among the disbelievers who finds guidance? There is. Is there no one who becomes Muslim?
There is. Now you have made Allah Almighty's word contradict itself. So what is the meaning of this verse? As long as the community of disbelievers continues in that state, they cannot reach Allah's guidance. See, the will is always in man. Man will always be called to account for what he himself did. 'So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it.' An atom's weight of his good I will record, He says. 'And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.' An atom's weight of his evil He will record. Here, if Allah's willing were upon me, why would Allah speak idly? (?) write down my atom's weight of good, write down my atom's weight of evil.
What need is there? He'd put whom He wills into Paradise and whom He wills into Hell.
In this case they make Allah Almighty contradict Himself with His own words. According to their own heads, of course. They themselves are full of contradictions anyway.
Yes. What do we say here? My Messenger, even if you are very eager for them to be guided, know that whoever strays from Allah cannot reach guidance in that state. And they have no helpers. From whoever goes to the hereafter as a non-Muslim, Allah Almighty will lift His mercy. Even if it is someone's dearly loved mother or father, wife or child, to the people from whom Allah Almighty has lifted His mercy, even if one from his own loins is in the station of intercession, he too will turn his back on him and go. And they will remain there alone, with no one. Yes.
