Translation

Whenever they made an oath, didn’t always a group amongst them (Jews) instigated to break their oaths? Most of them surely don’t believe.

Tafsir

Most of the Jewish people are non-believers. They do not consent to anything that is against them. Even if they are in a difficult situation and they sign a covenant that will get them out of that difficult situation for the moment, then when they feel a little bit stronger and more comfortable, they look for ways to break that covenant. Or they do not recognize that covenant. This shows us that they are people who do not value people other than their own selves and want to live their lives by taking advantage of people as much as possible.

People with this mentality destroy the unity and solidarity among people and cause mischief. They take advantage of the chaotic state of affairs to achieve their worldly interests. They do not recognize Allah, the Prophet or the Book for the sake of this world's livelihood. As long as such people have worldly possessions.

Can the words of people in this situation be believed? In this respect, Allah, who has bound the will of people to His covenant upon the will they have asked from Him, warns people who are on such bad covenants, out of mercy to His servants, to be careful of such people, not to need them, not to be deceived by the smiling face they show you. Whoever ignores Allah's warnings, according to the secret of the Verse (Allah is not heedless of His word), these people will not be able to save themselves from misery.

What is said in the video

Yes, verse 100 of Surah Al-Baqarah reads as follows. Whenever those Jews made a covenant, did not a group among them break that pledge and cast it aside, it says. Nay, most of them do not believe, says Allah Almighty. The Jewish nation is an accursed people on earth. An accursed people. It is not me saying this. Allah Almighty says it. And according to the Holy Quran we are obliged to state the verses that Allah Almighty has made known to us. Yes. Because they are an accursed people, they constantly stir up strife and corruption on earth. They constantly try to light fires. So Allah Almighty makes known to us all their traits in the Holy Quran.

What does it say? Whenever those Jews made a covenant, did not a group among them break that pledge and cast it aside? Nay. Most of them do not believe. When they are in a tight spot: 'My dear, come, let us make a deal, we are on your side,' they say; your (?) — they are in trouble, after all — that is what they try to do. But when they reach a secure position, they listen neither to you nor to anyone else. Nor do they heed their pledge. The people of Kayseri have a saying: 'Let me just get a foothold,' it goes, 'then see what I will do to you.' When these people get a foothold, being used to lighting fires in the world, stirring up corruption and creating chaos, they heed neither your pledge nor even their own father. In this world their eyes see only one thing.

And that is material things and money. Yes. Most of the Jewish people are people who do not believe. Most. Are there none among them who believe? There are. Not all Jews are like that, after all.

Allah Almighty says in His verse that they cannot (?) themselves. They have a place of prayer in a corner of their homes. They (?) the prayer, it says. Yes. So Allah Almighty says most of them do not believe. Most of the Jewish people are people who do not believe. They consent to nothing that goes against them. Even if, being in a tight spot, they sign a treaty to get past that difficulty for the moment, afterwards, when they feel some strength, some ease in themselves, they look for ways to break that treaty. Or they do not recognise that pledge. Their conduct shows us that they are people who value no one but themselves and who, as far as possible, want to make their living by exploiting others. Yes.

So in this case they, under the (?) name, see themselves above other people, as first-class people.

This attitude of theirs ascribes a defect to Allah Almighty, as if Allah had made a special distinction for them; it runs counter to Allah's verses, and so, because they truly turned their backs on Allah's verses, they are accursed, and most of them are people who do not believe, without faith. Yes.

People with this mindset, by breaking the unity and solidarity among people, spread corruption everywhere. They secure their worldly interests by exploiting the chaos. Isn't that how it goes? By dragging a state into turmoil, by collapsing its economy, by bringing down its currency; let's say your 50 lira is his, let me put it this way, or if your 2 lira is his 1 lira, your 10 lira becomes his 1 lira. What happened? He exploited you. Yes. People with this mindset, by breaking the unity and solidarity among people, spread corruption everywhere. They secure their worldly interests by exploiting the chaos.

For the livelihood of this world they recognised neither Allah, nor prophet, nor scripture. As long as such people get their worldly goods. For 5 pennies they think nothing of a man's life. As long as they get those five pennies by exploiting him. Can the words of such people be trusted? Therefore Allah Almighty, who ties to His covenant the wish people ask of Him — regarding people who hold to such evil pledges, Allah, out of mercy to His servants, warns that such people be watched out for, that (?) to them, that one not be fooled by the smiling face they show you — He makes this known to people through His warnings.

Whoever ignores Allah's warnings — Allah is not heedless of His word. According to the meaning of this verse, these people too cannot save themselves from ruin. Yes. We have lived through this in our time, and we still are. We lived it in our time.

Having become captives of non-Muslims, having mortgaged their minds to them, of the people who came, the people who governed this state over us, many, even many in the media, even many members of parliament, dependent on outside powers, in a position to obey their orders, these people committed treason against our homeland with this power too.

And so these people, as a result of treason, dragged this state along for a century up to this time. Finally, when someone who would stand on our own feet, a commander, a leader, came, those people accustomed to being commanded from outside — people I am even ashamed to call human. Poor excuses for human beings.

About the man at the head of our state: 'He does not do what we say, we do not like him.' How beautifully Allah Almighty says it in His verse. Unless you follow them, they will never draw near to you, it says.

So that we can sustain our own culture, our own religion, our own existence, standing on our own feet, so that we can protect our own existence, our freedom, our independence, our homeland and the unity and solidarity of our nation — in the face of the efforts we have made for this, still, as a continuation of World War II, the Crusades have surrounded Turkey on four sides. Whoever it may be in the world, Turkey has no friend other than Islam.

All those who appear to be friends are in a state of attacking Turkey. So how close will these people come to you, and how far can you trust their word?

The verses of Allah Almighty give us life. They light our way. And we are witnessing this: people who are with Allah, who lean their backs on Allah and who are governed by our Lord's verses — today, before our eyes, with our Lord's miracles appearing, we see how He protects those people.

Yes.

We said this in our lesson before.

Whoever, against the Republic of Turkey, this state, commits treason, will fall into the very trap they set.

The days of those people habitually commanded from outside are over.

Now there are people who are with Allah.

Allah Almighty has programmed these worlds. And within this program, no one can disrupt Allah's program.

However many games you play, however many traps you set, you cannot disrupt Allah Almighty's programming of these worlds. What is Allah Almighty's programming of this world? To the non-Muslims I call out from here as follows: those who have turned their backs on Allah, those who say of Allah that Allah is three, those outside the religion of Islam, I call out to them from here: O people, you too know that there is one Allah. That Allah is free from all deficient attributes.

In His verse Allah says: did they think that by blowing with their mouths they would put out Allah's light? Allah will perfect His light until the Day of Judgement. So do not be heedless. You too know there is one Allah, and by the shortest way either submit to this Allah, or, by increasing your disbelief, you will have bought the torment of Hell in the hereafter. There is no other way. There is no second way. Because Allah has gathered the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel in the Book, in the Quran. Inne'd-dîne inda'llâhi'l-İslâm. There is one religion on earth, and that is Islam. There is one Allah, and the one Allah's one book, that is the Quran.

Those outside it are non-Muslims; in our Lord's words, they are disbelievers.
