Al-Hajj 54: And also for those who were given knowledge to know that it (Qur’an) is certainly the Truth that came from their Lord and so they firmly believe in it and their hearts reach satisfaction. Verily, those who believe in Allah truly head towards the right path.

We have come to verse 54 of Surah Al-Hajj. Probably — Allah knows best, I estimate so — this too is a wrongly interpreted verse. Yes, a wrongly interpreted verse.

What does it say? First let's read the wrong one. After grasping the wrong one, let's read the correct one. Right? We're examining the verses, you know. Where have they ascribed attributes to Allah? Where have they interpreted the verse wrongly? How nicely we find it, don't we? We purify Allah, being free from deficient attributes, from the ascriptions they make according to their understanding.

Verse 54 — what is it we're reading? We read the wrong (?). We're reading the wrong one itself. The wrong verse. Not that the verse is wrong; its translation is wrong. Its translation. And so that those who have been given knowledge know that it, that is, the Quran, is truly a truth that has come from your Lord, and believe in it. So that thereby their hearts attain peace and contentment. Surely Allah certainly directs those who believe to a perfectly straight path, it says. So then, everyone who says the kalima-i shahada, who believes, if he drinks alcohol, it's from Allah; if he gambles, from Allah; if he commits adultery, from Allah.

Because He will direct him to the straight path, after all. Look what it says. Pay attention to the last word.

Surely Allah certainly directs those who believe to a perfectly straight path. (?) has believed, if He will certainly direct him to a perfectly straight path,

why does He make him drink alcohol, why make him gamble, why make him commit adultery, why make him kill people?

If Allah makes him do this, well, then let me do it too.

These are the words people interpreted as superstition. Now we read the correct one. And those who have been given knowledge. So that they know that it, the Quran, is truly a truth that has come from your Lord. Don't we know? Knowledge has been given. Right? How beautiful. And within that knowledge, which is Allah's word, which is outside Allah's word — how beautifully He has given inspirations to the human heart about it. And we say: this is Allah's word, and this is human word inserted in between. Now here we will correct that the human word inserted in between is not Allah's word now. What do we say? Let's read from the beginning.

And so that those who have been given knowledge know that it, that is, the Quran, truly from your Lord is a truth that has come, and believe in it. So that thereby their hearts attain peace and contentment. Surely those who believe in Allah will certainly have turned toward a right path. Pay attention. Those who have believed in Allah — for Allah does not show a person the bad path. What do we say? They will certainly have turned to the right path. Who are they? Those who believe, themselves. Themselves. But what does it say here? Allah certainly directs those who believe to a right path, it says.

Allah Allah. I have believed. The man has believed. He drinks alcohol, he gambles. Well, why do You make him drink the alcohol? Why do You make him gamble? Well, if You are leading him to it. If Your rule is over him. Yet there is partial free will. You have lifted Your rule from over people. As long as they live, people will earn reward and sin through the decisions they have made. Well, if you don't know the meaning of this verse, of course you'll interpret it like this. Now do you understand how wrongly the verses have been interpreted? Yes. But people don't understand this. They pass right by. They read and read and move on.

Yes.

Süleyman (?) sent it, but it hasn't come to me. We've come to (?). Here Nothing.

That picture hasn't come; I wanted the picture, the picture. I wanted the picture, the picture hasn't come. What they call a hadith. No, we wanted that picture, we were going to show the picture. Our this computer of ours has developed an abnormality. The computer I wrote this book on sometimes shuts down by itself. Then we turn it back on like this. We'll get it checked.

Which one were we explaining? We've explained 54, haven't we? Yes.

And so that those who have been given knowledge know that it, the Quran, has truly come from your Lord, a truth, and believe in it. And this time may their hearts attain peace and contentment. Surely those who believe in Allah will certainly have turned to a perfectly straight path. Yes, what is meant by those who have been given knowledge: These people are the counterpart of this verse: Most people do not know inspiration. Inspiration. What is meant by this verse: those who gave Allah a good covenant, when they come to the visible world, through a good reform of the nafs rise to the contented nafs and become aware of the manifestations.

If their ranks are high, they rise to the station we call nafs-i raziye. This station is the station of ilm al-yaqin. So Allah is speaking of this station and of those of this station who have been given knowledge. About people at this station, the Prophet (peace be upon him) says: the scholars of my community are like the prophets of the Children of Israel. Also, in Surah Al Imran, verse 7, with the verse in which it says "ve'r-râsihûne" — those kneaded with Allah's knowledge — and "ve mâ yezzekkeru illâ ulü'l-elbâb" — of this knowledge, those who enter through its door know, He says. So these possessors of knowledge, being aware of the manifestations, by the knowledge of the Quran begin to be governed.

Someone who does not live these cannot explain them with outward words. He doesn't know these anyway. He doesn't know this part. Open these verses, examine all the commentaries. Can you find words corresponding to this writing? Made-up, made-up writings.

That the Quran is truly sent by Allah, and that it is a book in which no human word is found, they affirm with their hearts. So that their hearts find peace, Allah, in every age, so that these people spread Allah's knowledge to people, raises and sends them. Hearts become content by knowing the reality of a thing and attaining that reality. So Allah manifests His being to people like these, raises these people. Such people (?) become content in their hearts. So what does Allah Almighty also say to these people in Surah Al-Fajr? O contented nafs, your Lord pleased with you and you pleased with your Lord, enter among My servants, enter My Paradise — the people to whom He says this.

Surely those who believe in Allah will certainly have turned to a perfectly straight path. Allah does not will injustice for the worlds. Therefore He has opened the doors of repentance even to those who rebel against Him; whatever sinner he may be, even if his sins reach the clouds in the sky. When he repents, Allah accepts their repentance; therefore those who believe in Allah and have faith attain guidance. And the Prophet (peace be upon him) says: even if your sins reached the clouds in the sky, when you repent with a (?) heart — never again to commit those sins, from the heart, he says — when you affirm it, when you turn to Allah, Allah turns your sins into good deeds, he says.

Yes.
