Tafsir
All the creatures of Allah are the servants of Allah. There is no particle that has been created by anyone other than Allah. So when Allah says in this verse, "Tell my servants to say the best of words", they should say La ilahe Illallah. For there is no god but Allah, except Allah, the only One.
This is the best of words. Whoever does not say this Tawheed and turns away from it, his helper is his ego and Satan. And those who follow Satan will be losers. Because Satan is clearly the enemy of man. He did not prostrate himself to our ancestor Adam because he saw a self in himself, because of his pride and arrogance. Because of our ancestor Adam, he became arrogant and proud and was cursed by Allah.
In this regard, Allah warned people that Satan is your enemy until the Day of Resurrection. If you follow him, then he will sow discord between you and turn you against each other. He will turn you away from Tawheed, which is the best of words, and will lead you to misery and torment. Those who follow the religion of Tawheed are brothers and sisters. Even if there is a Muslim at one end of the world and a Muslim at the other end, they are brothers. The life, property and honor of brother to brother is haram. Therefore, if people do not say the most beautiful word, Laa ilahe Illallah, and turn their backs on it, they will fall into separation, they will move away from the religion of Tawhid, and separation will begin between people. Some worship idols, some follow tagut, and some call Hazrat Uzeyr and Hazrat Jesus the sons of Allah. Allah shows people the Truth through His Verses. He invites all His creatures to guidance and shines a light before them.
What is said in the video
We have come to verse 53 of Surah Al-Isra.
How beautiful the verses are, they are all beautiful anyway. If a person gives himself to the verses, in this world, as if in a void and in peace, he comes to live as in Paradise. That is why they say peace is in Islam. Now: tell My servants to say the best of words, it says. What is the best of words? La ilahe illallah. There is no god but Allah. The whole universe was created by our Lord. And we are His servants. If we lean our back on our Lord, rely on Him, trust in our Lord, our back will never touch the ground.
Tell My servants to say the best of words. Then Satan sows discord among them. For Satan is man's open enemy, it says. Yes.
All that Allah Almighty created are Allah's servants. There is not a single atom created by anyone other than Allah. So when Allah, with this verse, says: tell My servants to say the best of words, let them say La ilahe illallah. Because there is no god but Allah. Except that one Allah alone.
Let me (?) this.
This is the best of words. Whoever does not say this tawhid and turns his back on it, his helpers are his nafs and his Satan. Plus, (?) the world. In the verse, Allah Almighty: aduvvallâhi ve aduvveküm, He says. They always interpret these wrongly. Your enemy and the enemy of Allah, it says. Allah and Allah's enemy. In this case, pushing the verses outside their original meaning, they ascribe attributes to Allah.
Allah is no one's enemy.
If Allah were an enemy to people, He would be judging with carnal feelings, which is what they say anyway. They have interpreted the verses accordingly. Allah will put whom He wills into Paradise. Whom He wills into Hell. Allah created many of mankind and jinn for Hell. With words like these, sir, they ascribe attributes to Allah in this way. Whereas the meaning of the verse aduvvallâhi ve aduvveküm is: the enemies of Allah and your enemy, it says. Who is our enemy? Our nafs, then Satan, then the world. Three enemies are in man. The world pulls you into the swamp, makes itself look pleasing to your nafs. Satan frightens you with stinginess, you hold back your helping hand from people. In this case you end up a porter of the world. Who is your friend?
Your faith, your reason and the inspiration Allah gives to your heart. With these three friends you weigh up the three enemies. You yourself decide on whose side you take your place. So then, (?).
Yes.
Everything is clear.
That is, all that Allah Almighty created are Allah's servants. There is not a single atom created by anyone other than Allah. So with this verse Allah: tell My servants to say the best of words, He says. And that word is La ilahe illallah. Because there is no god but Allah. Except that one Allah alone. This is the best of words. Whoever does not say this tawhid and turns his back on it, his helpers are his nafs and his Satan. And those who follow Satan come to ruin. To ruin. Because Satan is clearly man's enemy. He is an enemy because, seeing a selfhood in himself, out of pride and arrogance he did not prostrate to our forefather Adam. Because of our forefather Adam, seized by arrogance and pride, he incurred Allah's curse.
For this reason Allah warns people: Satan is your enemy until the Day of Judgment; Satan, if you follow him, then among you (?), sets you against one another, and from the best of words, tawhid, turns you away and pushes you into misery and torment, He says. Those who belong to the religion of tawhid are brothers. If there is a Muslim at one end of the world and a Muslim at the other end, the two are brothers. A brother's life, property and honour are haram to his brother. So if people do not say the tawhid La ilahe illallah, the best word, if they turn their backs on it, they fall into division and drift away from the religion of tawhid.
Divisions begin among people. Some cling to idols. Some follow the taghut. And some call Ezra and Jesus (peace be upon him) sons of Allah. So Allah shows people the truth with His verses. Inviting all His creatures to guidance, He shines a light before them with the Holy Quran.
Yes.
