Translation

The ones who worship deities other than Allah – and there is no proof regarding this – their accounts are only with their Lord. Verily, the blasphemers, cannot attain salvation (while they continue to reject the Truth).

Tafsir

Allah (swt) has proved with proofs and proofs that there is no other God but Himself, in a way that every human being can understand. Allah (swt) does not call to account anyone to whom He has not made His Verses known. In that case, whoever hears the Verses of Allah and worships another Deity besides Allah, for which there is no evidence so far, will have to answer to Allah.

(According to the verse, only Allah will take account of those who associate partners with Allah, but has Allah made helpers for Himself, and will these helpers take account of others on the Day of Reckoning?

This means that Allah will remove His mercy from the disbelieving people and they will have no helpers or intercessors therein. Alone, with empty hands and black faces, they will face the wrath of Allah in the presence of Allah.

Those who do not associate partners with Allah, the guardians of Allah who abstain from Allah's commands and prohibitions, and the Muslims who have passed on to the hereafter as sinners, will use the right of intercession granted by Allah (swt) to make supplication to Allah (swt) for these people. Allah (swt) will accept the intercession of these intercessors and forgive some people for the sake of their loved ones. This is what the disbeliever means when he says that their account is left to Allah alone, and that their account is left to Allah alone because they are in the presence of no one and no one takes care of them, and they are far away from the mercy of Allah (swt). Since they are eternally misguided, they are eternally hell-bound.

What is said in the video

Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 117: we have come to it.

Whoever worships another god along with Allah, that is, the Lord in his imagination, forgets his own Lord and associates a partner with Allah, that is, a person who denies Allah Almighty and waits for the Lord in his imagination, if he worships the Lord in his imagination as his Lord — there is no such Lord, after all — that is, if he worships it as creator, for which there is no proof at all. There is no proof at all. You won't find one. Nor in the address "Elestü bi Rabbiküm". Because no such proof comes out of it either. No such being exists either. There is no other god besides Allah. Now. It says: that person's reckoning is only with his Lord.

His reckoning. It is certain that the disbelievers will not prosper.

Yes. Now this part is somewhat meaningful. It says: that person's reckoning is only with his Lord. That is, someone got lost as a child and lives in a forest. He has heard nothing.

"I wonder who created me, where did I come from?" He worships a tree. Or he worships water. Or he worships the sun, whatever. Allah Almighty says, doesn't He, "I do not call to account anyone of a generation to whom I did not make it heard"; so if he dies in that state having heard nothing, his reckoning is now up to Allah. That is the meaning of that part. That is, it does not put that person among these. By saying this, it does not put him among those who deliberately deny Allah. Yes. His reckoning belongs to Allah alone. It also says this: this much is certain, it does not (?) the disbelievers.

Who is a disbeliever? The group who denied Allah Almighty at the address "Elestü bi Rabbiküm", and whom He calls "ashabü'l-meş'emeti mâ ashabü'l-meş'eme".

Allah Almighty has proven, in a way every person can understand, that besides Himself there is no other god, with evidence and proofs. Allah Almighty also does not call to account anyone to whom He did not make His verses heard. In this case, whoever the person may be, if he hears Allah's verses and yet worships another god besides Allah — for which there has been no proof to this day — his reckoning is left to Allah. According to the verse "his reckoning is left to Allah", a question like this may come to mind. Will Allah alone see to the reckoning of those who associate partners with Allah, while for the others' reckoning Allah has taken helpers for Himself, and will these helpers, on the Day of Reckoning, see to the others' reckonings? — so we have said.

Its meaning is this: Allah will lift His mercy from the community of disbelievers; neither a helper nor an intercessor of theirs will be found there. All alone, empty-handed and with blackened faces, in the presence of Allah, they will meet Allah's wrath. Those who do not associate partners with Allah, who heed Allah's commands and prohibitions, Allah's saintly servants, for the Muslims who passed to the Hereafter as sinners, using the right of intercession given by Allah Almighty, are the ones who, to Allah, on these people's behalf will plead. Allah Almighty, accepting the intercession of those in this station of intercession, will forgive some people for the sake of those they love.

To some people, to a servant He loves, He will give, for seven up to seventy people, the right of intercession. So its saying "the disbeliever's reckoning is left to Allah alone" means: they stand in His presence with no one, no one takes their side, and with their remaining far from Allah Almighty's mercy, their reckoning is left to Allah alone. Since they never came to the right path, they are people of Hell forever. In one sense, as I said earlier, when one is left alone somewhere — we did not write these here. It would go on and on. The meaning opens up more and more. We did not write it here.

In one sense, since He will not call to account anyone of a generation to whom it was not made heard, someone came into the world but reached the age of reason and passed away without hearing anything. His reckoning is left to Allah. Yes.
