An-Nisa 116: Allah does not forgive associating partners to Allah. Those who associate partners with Allah have completely gone astray.

In verse 116:

Allah never forgives that partners be associated with Him. Up to here it is right. Sins other than that He forgives for whomever He wills. For whomever He wills, other than that. The one who wishes; that is, now this is left to Allah's willing. Be as sinful as you like. If Allah has willed, then even if you don't recognize Allah, Allah will commit injustice. He will forgive you. Isn't that how His willing works? Let us read now. Allah never forgives that partners be associated with Him. Sins other than that He forgives for whomever He wills. Whoever associates partners with Allah has gone utterly astray.

Here it says this. And what do we say? Allah never forgives that partners be associated with Him. This far it is right. Except those of them who ask His forgiveness for their sins. He turned back. Of course he turned back. What do we say? Except those of them who ask His forgiveness for their sins. Whoever has associated partners with Allah has gone utterly astray. And whoever says that Saruhan Efendi opens up the verse within his own knowledge, if they say Saruhan Efendi opens up the verse according to himself, then please let them work out the verses with Arabic grammar. Very well. If there is a shortcoming, let them inform me too.

Me too.

They made it up according to their minds. According to their minds. No, the grammar comes out like this.

Wasn't Allah free of deficient attributes? Wasn't Allah the Owner of justice? Wasn't it that Allah wrongs no one? What kind of thing is this? Yes. Now let me read once more the verse that was opened up wrongly. And let me read the verse as I opened it up. Allah never forgives that partners be associated with Him; sins other than that He forgives for whomever He wills; whoever associates partners with Allah has gone utterly astray. The right parts are right anyway: Allah never forgives that partners be associated with Him; you cannot change this, it is right anyway; except those of them who ask His forgiveness for their sins; His forgiveness; whoever has associated partners with Allah has gone utterly astray. The right parts are right, but the wrong parts, the wrong ones said, are written in red pen.

Those who fall into shirk by associating partners with Allah, Allah does not forgive.

Until they turn back from that state.

These are the polytheist men and women. Those who associate partners with Allah. Polytheists, polytheists, idolaters, those who worship idols. Allah, who makes their desires their destiny, knowing that these polytheist men and women, except very few of them, except very few, will not be able to part from the idols they worship or from the things they associate with Allah, makes their situation known to people.

O people! Allah never forgives the one who associates partners with Him. Is there a god other than Allah?

And there is no greater sin than this. Indeed, in one verse: do not marry polytheist men and polytheist women until they believe. They call you to the Fire, it says. To the Fire. But Allah, it says, promises you Paradise. He promises Paradise, it says. He promises you Paradise. Because these call man to the Fire, while Allah calls to Paradise, it says. In this respect, Allah does not forgive those who associate partners with Him. And these come into this world that way and leave that way. Within their destiny, those for whom it was written that way. As we mentioned above, except very few of their deeds.

The meaning of what we call except a few: Allah is free of deficient attributes. He places a Muslim spirit in their loins. In their loins. He places a Muslim spirit. This Muslim finds the truth and departs from among them. So these situations are shown to them as an example. Like whom? As Abraham came from his idolater father. My tongue won't bring itself to say his father. Because he is not from his loins.

He was not from you, He says to him about his father. For his father. When he said, O my father, for you I will (?) from Allah, He says, he was not from you. Do not be among the ignorant, He says. Do not be among the ignorant. Yes. And Noah's son: He brings a polytheist or a non-Muslim spirit and has him come out of Noah's loins. He too is not from his loins. Not from his loins. Noah says: A prophet's child, he says, would not depart as an unbeliever. Now what is the situation, he says. O Noah, do not be among the ignorant. He is not from your loins, He says. When some suppositions come to his mind: O Noah, it is not as you think either.

Those who follow you are from your loins. Those who do not follow you, He says, are not from your loins. What does this mean? So the people of every prophet, from that prophet's heart, were created from that prophet's spirit. Is there a verse, they say, that people were created from the spirit of the prophets?

People who are unaware of the verses. These are people who, in the capacity of scholars, know Arabic and are versed in its grammar and pass themselves off as scholars. Is there a verse, they say, about his coming from his (?).

Apart

from this, those who, because of the sins people have committed, are granted guidance and ask Allah for pardon and forgiveness are forgiven. This verse clearly shows us this: it emphasizes that polytheist men and women have no return to Allah, that they do not repent, but that people other than these can turn back. Yes. It shows us very beautifully the situation of people other than these. In this respect, apart from polytheist men and women, people among the sinners who wish, people who wish, when they turn back to Allah, their sins are forgiven them. And among polytheist men and women too, except a few, as we said a moment ago, if they too turn back, they are forgiven; but because our Lord knows these, He never forgives that partners be associated with Him; because He knows that such people will certainly go to the hereafter that way, He says it to him: whoever has associated partners with Allah has gone utterly astray.

Why has he gone astray? Allah Almighty says in the verse: if there were another god besides Allah, each would take what he created, and the other would take what he created, and everything would drown in corruption.

If there were another god besides Allah, in between there would be religions. One lays down his own law, the other lays down his own law. You know how they say interreligious: such are those religions. Religions. Since there are no religions, how are there none, Hodja? There is the religion of Christianity, isn't there? There is Hebrew. There is (?). All of them are in the Quran. Inna'd-dina inda'llahi'l-Islam. Those who followed them, those who followed them in that time, were upon the fitra of Islam. Those who followed those prophets were upon the fitra of Islam. After that, when the Psalms came, those who followed that prophet and those books were upon the fitra of Islam. Then when the Gospel came, those who followed Jesus were upon the fitra of Islam.

Then the Seal of the Prophets, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), a mercy to the two worlds, that is, as it says in the verse, the one who to the two worlds, outward and inward, to the two easts and the two wests as a mercy came. You know, when it says the easts, they say the sun rises from such a place in summer and in winter from such a place.

It sets at such a place in summer, at such a place in winter. These are scholars. They have written commentaries. The people of that time.

Yet when He says Lord of the two easts and the two wests, Allah Almighty He is the Manifest, the Last, the First and the Hidden, it says. He is Owner of the realm of the hereafter too. And Owner of this world too. You know, according to the verse where He says every soul will (?) death and your return is to Me, at the first trumpet the Day of Judgment will break out. At the second trumpet, when people are resurrected, they will look, it says, and find themselves at the gathering. There, on that day, at the great tribunal, before Allah Almighty, according to the verse where He says judgment on that day belongs to Allah alone, after every soul has given its account, in the eternal Paradise and Hell they will enter their places.

So within the existence of the true world, Allah Almighty means that world which is the inward world. Otherwise you cannot say two easts because the sun rises from there in summer and from here in winter. East is east, and west is west. But when He says of the two easts and the two wests: of both the outward world and the inward world He is Lord. Yes.

So for those who seek a religion other than Islam, which is with the Truth, the (?) religion will never benefit them, according to the verses. If the Prophet came as a mercy to the two easts and the two wests, the two wests, mercy, mercy: in the hereafter His mercy is only for the believer. And in this world, His treating all people with His mercy. Allah Almighty giving him the Holy Quran, and his (?) it to all people in guidance; that is, showing it, telling it to them to guide them. And in the hereafter, his interceding only for the Muslim. Until not one of my ummah remains in Hell, he says, I will intercede there with my Lord to take him out, he says.

In this case there are no religions. So, ladies, there are no religions. Whoever says religions has invented a god other than Allah and denies tawhid. If he says religions, Allah... I say this openly; no hodja dares to say this. He is afraid. He is afraid. Maybe he will lose his post. Maybe he will lose his position. Those who sell Allah's Word in return for (?).

There are verses.

Gentlemen, fear Allah. Not people. Every soul shall taste death. No one dies before his term is up.

You go to the place where you will die on your own feet, it says. So speak the truth, say what is right. Judge by Allah's verses.

Do not fall into shirk by saying interreligious dialogue and inventing another god besides Allah. This wish is shirk. And it is also denying the verse.

And after that, the alliance began. What happened? It made the religions accepted. They have their own false religions too. The dialogues were agreed on. There was an alliance. Alliance. That is, it was decided. It exists. What will happen then? First, dialogue. Then alliance. And then Islam (?). Anarchy.

Wake up, Muslim, wake up. Hodja Efendis, you wake up too.

Tell friends Allah's command.

Yes.

Whoever has associated partners with Allah has gone utterly astray. For those who seek a religion other than Islam, which is the Truth's, it will never benefit them. Allah says this. This is the verse.

According to the word of the verse he means, those who knowingly, out of obstinacy, Allah and His Messenger deny have already gone astray on the straight road. These are on a path gone astray. And above this, those who knowingly associate partners with Allah have gone utterly astray.
