(Satan) confuses those whom he has power over with his call. With his cavalry and his infantry, he makes assaults on them. He becomes a partner in their possessions and their children, makes them promises. Shaytan does not promise anything to mankind but deception.

Tafsir

Satan has no power over mankind. If Iblis had power over mankind. Allah would have done injustice. Because Iblis is invisible. The invisible always defeats the visible. So if Satan had power over mankind, he would have led all mankind astray.

The meaning here is that when human beings make a covenant with Allah (swt) in the spirit world, those who deny Allah (swt) have themselves programmed in the direction of their own desires and wishes, and when they come to the realm of property, they deny Allah (swt) with the same feeling, and with the temptation given to the person by Satan, those who deny Allah (swt) immediately become subject to Iblis because the temptation is pleasing to their ego. Here Iblis did not lead man astray, but man went astray by following Iblis. Already in Hell, Iblis said to the people (I had no authority over you. He will say, "I promised you, but I was wrong.

People who deny Allah (swt) are subject to the temptation of the angel. In the meantime, the angel is not idle. In order to deceive people, he tries to make a fuss with his cavalry and bows. The meaning here of the cavalry and bows here is that the jinn who will help Iblis and his helpers and those who are subject to the angel from among the people will try to confuse people by making a fuss over them.

(He becomes a partner in their wealth and children). It leads a person to earn haram. A person who earns haram starts to move away from Allah. He becomes a partner in their earnings. Because they do not mention the name of Allah at the beginning of their work. They do not say the Besmala, and when they eat and drink, they share in the wealth of those who do not say the Besmala. They make people waste their wealth with their temptations.

Iblis also becomes a partner in their children. This is because these people begin to do all their business without the besmela, and they do not say the besmela when they approach their wives, and when a woman conceives a child, she conceives a child without the besmela, so most of the children that are born are not good. Allah (swt) knows how people are when He makes a covenant with them. If a man does business without the besmel, He will give him such a son. This child is open to the invitation of the evil one. He is disobedient and disobedient and is the kind of person Iblis wants. In this respect, he is also a partner to his children.

He makes promises to people. Iblis has no authority to fulfill his promises. He is a creation of Allah and is dependent on Allah. Therefore, Satan's promises to people are deception. But even if it is a deception, because people like the world, because they are selfish and self-interested, because Satan's lies are pleasing to such people, they follow Satan.

Allah's promise is true. No one can be as faithful to his word as Allah. So Allah warns us with His Verses.

What is said in the video

Sir, there is a verse that has been rendered wrongly. Let us look at its wrong and its right version in the translation that we wrote ourselves. Sir,

Surah Al-Isra, verse 64. Let us see, what does it say in verse 64? We are reading the wrong one. "Lead astray with your call whomever of them you can," it says. Now pay attention.

How do they describe Allah Almighty? "Lead astray with your call whomever of them you can." And now, there is no fault in a comparison. I am a superior, there is an official. I tell the official: go and lead those people astray. What will that official do?

He will carry out the order his superior gave. Well, he will have obeyed his superior. Now I ask people of sound mind. Allah will both curse the accursed one, go, (?). If, against the temptation you give, that human I created (?) follows you, take them, I have given them to you; while He says this, by saying here "whomever of them you can, lead astray with your call", does it not come to Him tasking Satan with His command at all? And they write this here as a verse, just like that.

"With your horsemen and your foot soldiers, drown them in clamour. Become a partner in their wealth and their children. Make them promises." "Satan promises people nothing but deception." Look, it both commands; look at the translation, the translation. Look at the one who wrote this, as a scholar. It both has Him command, and afterwards contradicts what it said itself. Satan promises people nothing but deception. So let us read the correct version. "He leads astray with his call whomever of them he can." Who leads astray? The accursed one leads astray. The accursed one. Look, what are we saying? Whomever of them he can, that is, those who will follow him, he leads astray with his call.

With his horsemen and his foot soldiers he drowns them in clamour. He becomes a partner in their wealth and their children. He makes them promises. Satan promises people nothing but deception. O man, so do not follow that Satan, it says. He promises you nothing but deception. Look at the rendering of the verse, look at the rendering of the verse. Yes. Now I ask you, every person of sound mind. In our time people are looking for a religion that will guide them. Now if a person comes and reads this rendering of the verse in the Quran, he says: with contradictions that don't fit together, this too is something made up by man.

And he gives up the religion of Islam. Yes. May Allah give them good perception and understanding. The translations we have written, the mistakes; giving up the (?) of their nafs, for service to the religion of Islam, rolling up their sleeves as soon as possible, to light the way before people, in the rendering of these verses Allah Almighty has held a fine light before them, has sent a scholar. God willing they will benefit from this, and as soon as possible, by writing these words of truth correctly, rightly, they will try to guide people, God willing. We read the verse again. "He leads astray with his call whomever of them he can; with his horsemen and his foot soldiers he drowns them in clamour. He becomes a partner in their wealth and their children.

He makes them promises. Satan promises people nothing but deception." Satan has no power over mankind. Satan, if Iblis had power over mankind, Allah would have committed injustice.

Because Iblis is invisible. And the invisible always overcomes the visible. So if Iblis had power over people, he would lead every single person astray. The meaning of "whomever he can" here is: when mankind made a covenant with Allah Almighty in the world of spirits, those who denied Allah had themselves programmed according to their own desires and wishes; when they came to the material world, with the same feeling they denied Allah; and with the temptation Satan gives a person, those who deny Allah, since the temptation pleases their nafs, immediately follow Iblis. Here Iblis did not lead man astray.

Man went astray by following Iblis. Indeed, in Hell Iblis will say to people: I have no authority over you. I made you promises, but I too was mistaken. People who deny Allah Almighty follow the temptation the accursed one gives. And the accursed one meanwhile (?); to deceive people, with horsemen and foot soldiers he tries to drown people in clamour. The meaning of horsemen and foot soldiers here: the bands of jinn who will help Iblis and his helpers, and those people who follow the accursed one, raising clamour over people, try to lead people astray. Yes.

He becomes a partner in their wealth and their children; he drives man to earn what is haram. And a person who earns haram begins to drift away from Allah; he has become a partner in the wealth they earn. Because when they begin a task they do not mention Allah's name, they do not say the Basmala. Those who do not say the Basmala when eating and drinking, in their wealth, their eating and drinking they become partners. With the temptations they give people, they make them squander their wealth. Iblis also becomes a partner in their children. Because these people now begin to do all their affairs without the Basmala.

When they approach their wives, they do not say the Basmala either. And since a woman who becomes pregnant conceives a child without the Basmala, from most of the children who are born no good comes. When Allah Almighty made the covenant with people, He knows who is how. If a person undertakes work without the Basmala, such a child is given to him as well. This child is open to the call of the accursed one. He is a person of the nafs's (?), disobedient, just as Iblis wants. In this respect he has become a partner in their children too. He makes promises to people. Iblis has no authority in his hand to fulfil the promises he makes.

He too is a being created by Allah and a (?) in need of Allah. In this respect, Satan's promises to people are deception. But even though it is deception, because people like the world, because they are selfish and self-seeking, because Iblis's lies please such people, they follow Satan. Yes, with His verses Allah is warning us, we say.
