Hud 35: (Oh My Messenger!) Or do they say; “He made this up”? Say; “If I made it up, its sin is up to me. But I am far from the sins you are committing.”

Translation

(Oh My Messenger!) Or do they say; “He made this up”? Say; “If I made it up, its sin is up to me. But I am far from the sins you are committing.”

Tafsir

Or do they say that you have fabricated these things for yourself? Say: If I have invented them as a religion, my sin is on me. But I am free from the sins you have committed. I am a messenger, a caller. I am duty-bound to announce the truth to you. You are free to believe or not. Everyone has a covenant with Allah and a character within that covenant. We will not make the blind and deaf hear. Only those who hear and see will respond to this invitation.

But when you are called to account before Allah for your disbelief in Allah and the Last Day and for the sins you have committed, then I am far from you, for those on whom Allah has removed His mercy have no helper or intercessor. On that Day of Reckoning, you will want to ransom this world and escape the torment. Turn to Allah with feelings of remorse, repent and ask for forgiveness before that day arrives, before you are strangled, before the doors of repentance are closed, so that you may be saved.

What is said in the video

This time from the Prophet: My Messenger, or do they say he invented it, that is, did you invent this? Say: if I invented it, my sin is upon me, but I am not part of the sins you commit.

Or do they say about you: he invented these? The Prophet (peace be upon him) tells all of us these things, doesn't he. Allah makes it known in the Quran, doesn't He. And what do these people say? About the Prophet (peace be upon him).

Someone probably comes at night and teaches him this. Let's wait and see who comes, they say.

If, it says, I had made you, it says, one who reads and writes, that is, if I were literate, then they would say he reads it elsewhere and learns it, it says.

So you are far from them, it says. That is, far from those who say so. Or do they say about you: he invented these? Say: if I invented these myself, as religion, my sin is upon me. Yes. Since we, just like that, are heirs of the prophets; heirs of the prophets, directly (?) by our Lord, since we are in the position of those of whom he said 'the saint of my community is like a prophet of the Children of Israel', I too, these subtleties, when I explain them to you, if they go against the spirit of the Quran, the burden is on me. The burden is on me. Yes. If I invented these myself, as religion, my sin is upon me.

But I am free of the sins you have committed. Yes. I say it to them too. I am free of your ascribing such attributes to Allah Almighty. Since there is no such Allah as you believe in this way, that is, one who uses His own will over His servants and leads astray whom He wills, brings to Paradise whom He wills, brings to guidance, whom He wills to Hell, whom He wills takes to Paradise, who created many of mankind and jinn for Hell and increased the disbelief in their hearts: I do not know such an Allah. I do not worship Allah in this way, as you know Him. My Allah, as I always say, is the Owner of justice.

He who makes no distinction among His servants; by which everyone, through the deeds done by their own will, earns good deeds and sins; through the deeds everyone has done, with no one wronged that day, as the return of their own (?), on the day they will be called to account; that Allah I believe in, Him I worship.

But I am free of the sins you have committed. I too am free of such words they have spoken, of these ascriptions to Allah; I am free of them. As an inviter, I am a messenger. I too am an inviter. To remove falsehoods from religion. To remove superstitions that have entered the Quran like this. Not into the verses, God forbid. The verses are under Allah's protection. Yes. So, entirely suited to our time and age, to the future, to the youth, these books need to be corrected again. As I always say. I have finished 95% of it. The groundwork is done. Come on. Let us all help the religion of Islam together.

I am not saying this to force my own view on you. (?) You are not in a position to examine this either. So let us show you the truth with verses. Let us show the truth, these subtleties. Since you will grasp it faster (?) the verses, within your knowledge, let us make, for the future and our age, a new Quran, that is, a book in line with its rule, with the spirit of the Quran. Apart from this, apart from this, at the root of theology a change will be made. In place of such words that the Christian world, the non-Muslims, inserted to degenerate the religion of Islam, in line with the spirit of the Quran, so that they do not ascribe attributes to Allah, with (?) a new book written for this, a new generation let us raise.

And let us fulfil our responsibility in Allah's sight. Otherwise, tomorrow on the Day of Resurrection, when Allah seizes us by the collar, let there be no responsibility left for us to answer for. Yes. But I am free of the sins you have committed. As an inviter, I am a messenger. I am charged with making the truth heard by you. You are free to believe or not to believe. Everyone has a covenant given to Allah and characters within that covenant. We are not going to make the blind and the deaf hear. Only those who hear and see respond to this invitation.

But you, by not believing in Allah and the Last Day, with the sins you have committed, when you are called to account in Allah's presence, then I am (?) you.

Why am I far? You are not far now, so why far then? Because right now there is a duty, there is an invitation. There is an invitation. Then why are you far there? Why far? You are far according to this verse. No one will help the people from whom Allah Almighty has cut off His mercy, no one will intercede. For there they are without anyone and alone. The people addressed by the verse will fall into (?). Yes, that is when we are far from you.

For people from whom Allah has removed His mercy have neither a helper nor an intercessor. On that Day of Reckoning, when you see that punishment, you will wish that even if the whole world were yours, you could give this world as ransom and be saved from this punishment. Yes.

Actually not by giving this world as ransom; a world full, it says, even if there were another world, it says, as ransom, giving it as ransom, you would want to be saved from this punishment, it says. When that day arrives; before it arrives, before the soul reaches the throat, before the doors of repentance close, turn to Allah with feelings of remorse. Repent and seek forgiveness so that you attain salvation. Yes.
