Yunus 43: There are some among them who look at you. But if they are still unwilling to see (the Truth), will you guide the blind ones to the Truth?

A. Metin Saruhan · 25 October 2016 · Yunus

Translation

There are some among them who look at you. But if they are still unwilling to see (the Truth), will you guide the blind ones to the Truth?

Tafsir

When the Prophet (PBUH) communicated the truth, people saw the Prophet (PBUH) as surely as they saw each other. Those who have had their hearts sealed from hearing the truth have blinded their eyes from seeing the truth, dulled their senses and lost their ability to understand. They cannot see and understand the truth unless they seek refuge in the truth, seeking refuge in the mercy of Allah.

Those who betrayed Allah in their covenant in the first eternity and cannot accept that Allah is the Creator (Lord) who created them, have had their hearts sealed in the first eternity in proportion to their covenant, so their eyes are blind to the truth. Even if they see all these miracles, they will never be guided.

What is said in the video

Surah Yunus, verse 43 too is among the wrongly interpreted verses; this too has been wrongly interpreted.

First let's read the wrong one, then we'll read the right one. Right? Let's read the wrong one. Where's the wrong one? Verse 43. Among them are some who look at you. But if they do not see the truth, will you guide the blind to the right path? it says. And the right one: among them are some who look at you. But if they do not want to see the truth, will you guide the blind to the right path? Now here, 'if they do not see the truth' is one thing, 'if they do not want to see' is another. This here is the science of words. Judges, lawyers, learn this well. Judges: the science of words. These change with words.

He does not want to see. What does it say? Look, if they do not see the truth, it says. If they do not see. For me to be able to see the truth, Allah Almighty must give me good comprehension. Just as it said a moment ago. What does it say? The deaf, moreover those who cannot comprehend, it says. Cannot comprehend. Whereas: those who do not use their minds. Now these follow each other's mistakes. The verses too have been interpreted following each other's mistakes. Here too: if they do not see the truth, then had You given me a comprehension to see the truth, I would have seen the truth. Then why do You blame me?

Not 'if he does not see the truth', but 'if they do not want to see the truth', you will say. That is, if you hear the truth and that it is the truth you don't want to see, don't want to hear, will you guide the blind to the right path, it says. The blind. Well, are we blind here now? Are the polytheists blind? They don't come to the right path. These are words said in a figurative sense. Their such words, intentionally or unintentionally, uninformed or ignorantly, if they try to explain to people verses they do not know, they go into kufr. They commit a sin bigger than themselves. Yes.

So among them are some who look at you. I lived this verse. I lived this verse. I'm having a wall built there. (?). The man went. He brought three men. From the Russian bazaar. They're Christians. He knows Turkish. The Christian knows Turkish. We give them food. (?)

That there is no god but Allah.

That Jesus is among the servants Allah created. That Mary is among the servants Allah created. that He subsists by His Essence, that He has no wife or children, I explain, I prove it; they look at me like that, they look with empty eyes. Beware of the believer's insight, he sees with Allah's light, it says; what passes through his heart I feel; empty, he cannot understand a speck of what I say, not a speck, not a speck; like a wall, as if a wall, like a wall; it doesn't go in, through that wall (?) the word doesn't go in; after sensing that, then (?) the meal was over too; I had explained a lot; the verse: among them are some who look at you, but if they do not want to see the truth, they live in their own world, will you guide the blind to the right path? it says. And even though I proved it so much that if it were a stone it would have been proven, I mean it would have come, a stone; Allah Almighty says so anyway.

There are rocks, it says, from within which water flows. From within. There are rocks, it says, that out of fear of Allah, it says, roll down from the mountain, it says. These are more rock than those rocks, granite rock, these. There's no way they'll come to the path either. Yes, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) conveyed the truth, people certainly, just as they saw each other, saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) too.

Those who had their hearts sealed against hearing the truth, who blinded their eyes against seeing the facts, blinded their senses, who lost their ability to understand: these people, unless they take refuge in Allah's mercy and turn to the Truth, cannot see the Truth and cannot understand. Impossible. And for him to turn to the Truth, he must, in the first barzakh, at the address Elestü bi rabbiküm, have given Allah Almighty a good covenant so that he turns to the Truth. Turns to the Truth. Then let's not tell these disbelievers anything at all. Not so. We will tell them. Allah Almighty has closed off our destinies.

No one can know what each person is. Today, be he a polytheist, a disbeliever, an idolater, without religion, or holding any ideology, in time you see that he turns to Islam. So Allah Almighty says: tell them the truth, enjoin the good. It may be that among them there will be those who find the truth. Now what does this resemble?

I'm there, it sorts hazelnuts, a machine, a hazelnut sorting machine, they call it a patos; it sorts the hazelnuts, it feeds the hazelnuts in from here, there's air there, with that air the empty hazelnuts fly off, the empty hazelnuts, the full ones fall down; it separates them, it separates the hazelnuts very quickly, and some sound ones slip away with them.

One in a thousand slips away, I mean. There are sound ones too. In this case, when they are sorted, you find the sound one. Which are not sorted out. Those, three or five, five or ten, just go off like that. Its example: among the disbelievers too, Allah Almighty places an Islamic lineage. He places an Islamic soul; into a disbeliever's loins He places an Islamic soul; that one, among them, after a certain time, returns to Islam. So that he may not say: You raised me in this realm, You raised me among these disbelievers; had You brought me among Islam I would have become Muslim; so that he may not say this, within Islam a disbeliever's soul, and into the disbelievers a Muslim soul He places; by the Muslim within turning disbeliever and the disbeliever within turning Muslim, by showing these to one another, Allah Almighty, free from deficient attributes, will show them to each other, and people will be cut off from questions, from questioning and interrogating Allah Almighty.

Just like this, since we do not know the unseen, since the keys of the unseen are in Allah's hand, and since we don't know what our destinies are, we are obliged to enjoin the good. Yes. We threw many crops into the soil. That is, we throw in scrap produce that won't grow. Scrap produce. We don't use it as seed. Wormy, and also who (?)? I mean, in no state to yield a crop. You look and that spot is turning green. Some of it puts out plant shoots. Rain has fallen. Mercy; from there, from what you threw, even if just a little, some green comes up from there. The state of the disbelievers is like this.

Because among those who deny Allah there are people, even if few, who will return to Islam, we are obliged to enjoin the good. We are charged with telling the truth. Yes.

These, unless they take refuge in Allah's mercy and turn to the Truth, cannot see the Truth and cannot understand. These are the ones who betrayed Allah in their covenant in the first barzakh, and those who did not accept that Allah who created them is the Creator Lord. Who can betray Allah? (?) Then why did you betray, He says. Our Lord says this in the verse. What does Allah Almighty say? My Beloved, do not mind their denying you. That is, don't mind their calling you a liar. In their time they betrayed Me too, it says. And at a time, when He said I am your Lord, their waiting for the Lord of their imagination, not knowing Allah as Allah and not recognizing Him.

Isn't that betrayal of Him? Yes. Verse. We are always speaking of verses anyway. We interpret the verse with verses.

Since they had their hearts sealed, in the service of the verses, (?) from the barzakh, their eyes are blind to the truth. Even if they see so many miracles, they will never come to the right path. Yes.
