Hud 18: Who can be more an oppressor than the one who fabricates lies against Allah? They will be brought to their Lord (on the Day of Judgment) and their witnesses will say; “These are the ones who told lies against their Lord.” Know that Allah’s damnation is upon the oppressors.

We had to shut it off. We shut it and opened it again. Now the broadcast continues. Yes, who could be more unjust than the one who invents a lie against Allah?

Although this verse does not address the Muslim, a person should still be wary, should fear. Because even though it targets non-Muslims, our slandering Allah unknowingly, falsely attributing a fault to Him, would be as if we had taken part in the same state. Because tomorrow, on the Day of Judgment, the polytheist will say: this one also said such things to You, this one also slandered You this way. And Allah Almighty will say: I too have recorded his sin, look. But he did not deny Me like you; he did not ascribe partners to Me like you; he knew Me as Lord. Yes, he fell into a sin of the nafs, but look, I am justly giving him his punishment. This is your place, with you, he will say.

But the fire will say: this one is forbidden. The fire. Fire is permitted for you, but forbidden for him. Why forbidden for him? Because he has the light of My faith, He will say to him. He has the light of faith.

Is there a verse for what you are saying? There is. It says: do not go toward the fire prepared for the disbelievers. And He says it beautifully. Allah Almighty, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 34 — is it that verse, or what? Let me check, let me check. Whether I remembered it right. I won't research anything further anyway.

It's not there. Yes.

Yes.

The night call to prayer has sounded here.

So we continue with the verse. They will be presented to their Lord on the Day of Judgment. Who? The people who falsely slander Allah. Those wrongdoers. These are the ones who lied against their Lord, they will say. Know that the curse of Allah, Allah, is upon the wrongdoers. May Allah protect us from this.

What is a curse?

A person from whom Allah has lifted His mercy has fallen under Allah's curse.

As long as Allah's mercy is upon them, people are far from the curse. This word 'curse' — neither the earth accepts it nor the sky accepts it. That is how much they fear Allah. (?) in the earth and in the sky. This is a word said in a figurative sense.

May Allah protect us from such an end. Yes.

Whoever does not believe in Allah and the Last Day and invents lies against Allah — there are no people more unjust to their own selves than these. Those who turn away from the truths, being enemies of Allah, talk recklessly and falsely about Allah. On the Day of Judgment, at that place of reckoning, at the supreme court.

When it comes with a driver and a witness, 'when it comes with the body', as He says — according to the verse in which bodies, on the Day of Judgment, are resurrected and the spirits are paired with them — on the day when spirit and body stand face to face and the body bears witness to the spirit, yes, when these say: he used me in such and such a way and made me say such and such against You, and when our spirits, to our bodies, say, 'Why are you speaking against me?', our bodies too: 'It is Allah who makes me speak as a witness.' These verses will be opened up when their turn comes. When that happens, then the curse of Allah is upon such people.

That is, He has lifted His mercy from them. There they have neither helpers nor intercessors. When it says the good deeds they did have gone to waste, the curse has seized them. Allah protect us.

Then the curse of Allah is upon such people. There they are without anyone, alone. When the deniers are struck with the punishment they deserved by what they earned, their bed becomes the fire of Hell. Allah's curse is in the hereafter. On earth, since His mercy surpasses His wrath, all souls, until their appointed term, are treated with mercy. With mercy. So when it is said that neither earth nor sky accepts it, it goes round and comes back to the person himself, as they say — may Allah protect us from such words — the curse is in the hereafter. Because the wrath surpasses His mercy, Allah does not let people attain His mercy in this world.

The reason: everyone will prove what kind of person they are. One. Then what are all these calamities for? Isn't it a curse? It isn't. We, it says, give them two or three calamities a year so that, in the face of these calamities, they (?) come to their senses and remember their Lord. says Allah Almighty. How beautifully He puts it. That is not a curse, that is mercy. Mercy. Yes. Allah's curse is in the hereafter. On earth, since His mercy surpasses His wrath, all souls, until their appointed term, are treated with mercy. But when people pass on to the hereafter, when they go as rebels, then they fall under Allah's curse.

First, Allah lifts His mercy from them. They find neither a friend nor intercessors. Then all pain, sorrow, punishment, grief and agony surround these people, and they meet the punishment of an eternal, endless life. This is the curse.

Allah's punishment is upon such wrongdoers. Because although so many warnings and truths have come to them, these people, persistently denying Allah and the Last Day, are unjust to their own selves. Such people are wrongdoers. And the curse, too, is upon those who live this way and go to the hereafter as rebels. Yes.
