Tafsir
O people! Do what you will do with your own free will, with your will in your hands. Whether you live as a muti or a shaki. Whether you appear to be Islamic, or whether you are Islamic but live in disbelief. Allah, His Messenger and the believers will see your deeds. Allah has mentioned the believers here together with the Messenger of Allah. In our previous lessons we have mentioned who the believers are. These are the people who have become aware of the revelation, to whom my Lord says, O soul that is satisfied with you and you are satisfied with your Lord, enter among my servants and enter my paradise, and who will not go back to the world, that is, they will not fall into Nafsi Emmari or disbelief. Since they see the truth in them, they see the disbelief of people who live outside the Shari'ah ruling.
That Allah and His Messenger and the believers are witnesses to the deeds of these people and say, "Then you will be returned to Allah, Who knows what is seen and what is unseen." There is no living creature that does not taste death. Therefore, every living being is born rightly and its death is also rightly. Although these created people are seen as if they are free in the world, in fact, they are under a tremendous close surveillance, and every moment and every second their actual actions and deeds will be shown to them in the Hereafter like a movie by freezing the reflections of the people, as if they were in front of a camera.
So you will be returned to Allah, the Knower of the seen and the unseen, and He will inform you of what you have been doing. In the face of this situation, whether man goes down into the earth, or whether he is behind fortified castles, or whether he leaves the world and prepares a vault for himself in the remotest corner of the universe and hides there. But you will be returned to Allah, Who knows the seen and the unseen. And Allah will inform us of what we used to do.
What is said in the video
We continue with our lesson.
Say: do what you will do.
Yes.
Look how beautifully the question our learned child asked comes now, after the alms we've been explaining — how well it fits.
What does it say? Say: do what you will do. Allah will see your deeds, and so will His Messenger and the believers. Yes, let them do what they will do. You will warn them like this; they will do what they will do. Allah will see their deeds; because His Messenger is alive, they will see too, and you will see too. Yes, then you will be returned to Allah, who knows the seen and the unseen. Then every soul will taste death, and all of us, in return for the actual deeds we did in the world, before Allah Almighty, in the Great Court, with our account open, will enter. We are not left aimless here. We seem aimless, but every word we speak, every move we make will, by our Lord, be shown to us very clearly in the realm of the hereafter.
And we will not have a single word to say to our Lord.
He will inform you of what you were doing. Look how beautiful. Yes.
So Allah Almighty — in the end every soul will taste death, and all — after the time of the true command, after the Day of Judgment has come, in the Great Court before Allah Almighty the time of being called to account will come. O people! With your partial will in your hands, do what you will do of your own free will. Yes. With your own free will. Because, as a result of the decisions everyone makes, through the decisions made within their partial will, each will earn reward and sin. Whether (?) or obedient, or even live as the wretched, whether you appear Muslim, or despite being Muslim live in kufr, Allah will see your deeds, and so will His Messenger and the believers.
Here Allah Almighty has mentioned the believers together with Allah and His Messenger. The believers. He mentions them together. Because there is no turning back for the believers. They have become aware of the manifestation. They are distinguished people who have entered among Allah's righteous servants. Yes. In our earlier lessons we said who the believers are. We said. Who are they? Those who have passed beyond the nafs al-ammara, the nafs al-lawwama, the nafs al-mulhima, who have risen to the nafs al-mutmainna, who have become aware of the manifestation, and to whom, in Surah Al-Fajr, 27-28, 29-30, in the verses, He says: O soul at peace, well pleased with your Lord and your Lord with you, enter among My servants, enter My Paradise.
In our earlier lessons we said who the believers are. These people have become aware of the manifestation — O soul at peace, well pleased with your Lord and your Lord with you, enter among My servants, enter My Paradise, He says — people who, while in the world, have no turning back, that is, who into the nafs al-ammara or into kufr will not enter. Since they see the truth, they see the kufr of the people living outside the rule of Sharia. Yes. "Beware the insight of the believer, for he sees with Allah's light," says a hadith. So Allah, His Messenger and the believers witness the deeds of these people, and then His saying "you will be returned to Allah, who knows the seen and the unseen" — there is no living being that will not taste death.
So, just as every living being's birth is true, its death is also true. Although these created people appear to be aimless in the world, in fact they are under a tremendous close watch, and every moment and every second the actual deeds and acts they do, like in front of a camera, with the (?) that people reflect, with (?), are frozen and, like a film of life, in the hereafter will be shown to them. Yes. That is, just as you see me in front of the camera and a camera reflects my image, so our Lord too freezes our forms and makes us very well witnesses over ourselves. Today, from jets flying at altitude in cold air or from passenger planes, coming out of their exhaust, (?) freeze and leave a white trail.
A white trail. They freeze in the air. Can't our Lord freeze our forms like this and show them to us? Allah Almighty, who with the power of knowledge possesses infinite knowledge. Yes. So you will be returned to Allah, who knows the seen and the unseen, and He will inform you of what you were doing. In this situation, whether a person goes into the depths of the earth, or is behind strong fortresses, or leaves the world and in the remotest corner of the universe prepares a cellar for himself and hides there, still, you will be returned to Allah, who knows the seen and the unseen. Allah will inform us of what you were doing.
