Al-Hajj 37: Neither their meat, nor their blood reaches Allah. But it is only your abstinence that reaches Allah. Allah has given these animals to your use so that you will recognize Allah as the Greatest and attain Allah’s guidance. (Oh Messenger) give glad tidings to the muhsineen (those who commit good acts).

The misinterpretation

Neither their meat nor their blood reaches Allah. But only your taqwa reaches Him. Thus He has given these animals for your use, so that you may know God great because He has guided you. (O Muhammad!) Give good news to those who do good.

The right translation

Neither their meat, nor their blood reaches Allah. But it is only your abstinence that reaches Allah. Allah has given these animals to your use so that you will recognize Allah as the Greatest and attain Allah’s guidance. (Oh Messenger) give glad tidings to the muhsineen (those who commit good acts).

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong: That you may know Allah great because He has guided you. Indeed: So that you may know Him great and be guided by Allah. Here they have opened the verses by making our Lord make a distinction between human beings. All created people are servants of Allah. Our Lord does not discriminate between His creatures. Every human being will be held accountable for his/her own deeds. If our Lord had discriminated between people, He would not have said the following verse. He says, "We have even divided the earth equally among you. Some have oil, some have gas, some have underground mines, some have grains, some have orchards, some have blessings in the sea. He has equally distributed His uncountable blessings to human beings.

Our Lord made a covenant with the people at Kalu Bela and gave them their desires and wills as their destiny. In this case, our Lord will not again exercise His will over people by removing their will from them. For our Lord does not discriminate between His servants. Things have happened, destinies have been written. The worlds have been programmed. These worlds will continue on this program until the Day of Judgment.

Verse 37 in Surah Al-Hajj: their neither flesh nor blood reaches Allah. But only your piety reaches Him. So that you glorify Allah for having guided you, He has thus given those animals for your benefit. O Muhammad! Give good news to those who do good, it says. Now here, let us first open up the wrong part of the verse. Let's correct it. And after that, let's open up the meaning here for you. Neither their flesh nor their blood reaches Allah. Now people sacrifice, right, one big animal they buy.

Let the animal be big. Why should it be big? 'Let it carry us across the Sirat,' they say. It will cross over the Sirat. Whereas there is no such thing as the Sirat. There is no such thing as the Sirat bridge. We prove this from 67 verses. We tell them: you show us one verse too, that the Sirat bridge exists. Where does this Sirat bridge come from? If you go the right way, upon Islam, you find the Truth. If you leave the right way — imagine a bridge, it says — from there down into Hell you fall. That later became the Sirat bridge. Then they put hooks here, put who knows what, and, sir, even the prophet they made fall down from there.

In Hell they invented flames without fire, without smoke. Well, instead of straining so hard and writing these things this way, this verse, this single verse — why don't you say it? They, it says, when they come into Our presence, without being subjected in any way, it says, to torment — when they come into Our presence, sir, they will be questioned. That is, Allah Almighty, without subjecting them to anything, will have brought them into His presence. Today, without anyone being wronged. The meaning of the verse is this. Its words are these. Today, without anyone being wronged. Everyone will be given in full what they earned with their own two hands, it says.

Let's say it again. So that no one is wronged today. And you: 'Until they came into My presence, I made them cross the Sirat bridge.' 'Five hundred years flat, five hundred years up, five hundred years down — fifteen hundred years I made them cross.' Then from there You threw whoever You wished into Hell. From there, with hooks and the like, You carried them across. Aren't you ashamed at all? Based on which verse, which hadith, do you say this? And how do you deny this verse, that verse? Today, without anyone being wronged, when you come (?), it says, you will be given in full the recompense of what your two hands earned, it says.

That is, people, unaware of the verses, make things up as they please, like this. Making things up. And these too — neither their flesh nor their blood reaches Allah. You know, the animal will carry them across the Sirat bridge. He'll ride on it, supposedly. And with it he'll cross like lightning. But what does Allah Almighty say? Neither their flesh nor their blood, it says, reaches Allah. But only your piety reaches Him, it says. Piety. Why did you slaughter? You slaughtered because it is Allah's command. Piety. You slaughtered because you believe in Allah. Sir, so that you glorify Him and attain Allah's guidance, He has thus given these animals for your benefit.

O Muhammad, give good news to those who do good, it says. Give good news.
