Translation

There is no sin for you in entering houses that are uninhabited, and in which there are your belongings. Allah knows what you reveal and what you keep secret.

Tafsir

People may have several houses in several places. They may furnish their houses with things for work or for recreation. In a house that belongs to him, if it is not rented or given to anyone for use, it belongs to him. There is nothing wrong with entering such a house without permission. Because the house is his.

Allah knows what people hide in their hearts and what they reveal. For Allah is the One who writes down for people what they intend as their destiny. He knows what those who will come until the Day of Resurrection will do. Therefore, Allah (swt) says in this verse that We know what you reveal and what you conceal. If we have an ulterior motive and, under the guise of doing good to people, do injustice to them or covet their honor and use them for our evil purposes, Allah sees us, even if no one suspects or sees us.

In this regard, if a person enters the private harems of people, which they are not allowed to enter, and gets to know their secrets, blackmails them, blackmails them, uses them, and uses them for his evil purposes, by fraudulent means and by following the steps of Shaytan, by justifying ourselves, Allah is certainly aware of these things, for Allah knows the hidden and the open.

So Allah's commands give life to people. Whoever deviates from Allah's commands, they will live in depression, distress, restlessness, and narrowness of heart. They will be losers in this world and in the Hereafter.

What is said in the video

Surah An-Nur, verse 29 Houses containing belongings of your own that are not lived in — there is no harm in your entering them.

Our belongings are in the houses we live in. I have a house in Samsun, I have a house in Ordu. Of course I go in there. There's no harm in that. Maybe others entered the house while I was away.

Even if they did, you have the key, it's your house. Those who entered are guilty because they entered without your permission. You can enter the house. I mean, in this situation, don't people go into some summer houses? They do. Don't they stay there? They do. And when the man comes to his house he sees that this has changed, that has changed, those have changed. These things do happen. In this case the owner is in the right and those who entered are guilty. Houses containing belongings of your own that are not lived in — there is no harm in your entering them. Allah knows what you reveal and what you conceal.

People may have several houses in several places. For work or for rest they may furnish their houses. Now, if a house belonging to a person has not been given to anyone as a tenant or for use, this house belongs to the person. And there is no harm in his entering such a house without permission. Because the house is his own.

Allah Almighty knows what people (?) in their hearts, what they hide in their hearts, and also what they reveal. Because Allah is the One who writes people's wishes for them as their destiny. Allah Almighty also says it like this, in a verse.

Who can change Allah's verse? That is, change the covenant He has given. No one can change it. Because it is Allah who gives the covenants. It is Allah who wrote the first destinies. It is Allah who gives people their characters. In this case no strength or power can change that destiny. In the verse it is like this: If We do not will, you cannot will. What does this mean? In response to the word you gave, that is, in response to your wish, We wrote your destinies. And We worked into you the characters you would act out within those destinies. When the time comes, through desires and wishes We will create attributes in you.

And you, through your actual deeds, will prove what kind of person you are, it says. No one is able to change his destiny, it says. In this case Allah Almighty knows what people hide in their hearts and the secrets of the hearts, it says. What is this secret? Hidden in the remotest corner of your heart, it says, states you do not know, states you do not know, We know, it says. What is this? What will befall me in the future, what will I do — though I do not know, my Lord knows what I will do throughout my life, how I will behave, what will befall me. Is there a verse for this? There is. What does it say?

There is not a single living being to come until the Day of Judgement whose deeds We do not know, it says. So much so that within what Allah has created, within this framework, the worlds are programmed; no one can step outside this program. Yes, now another verse comes to my mind. In that verse: people prepare a plan. I too prepare a plan, it says. But the plan I prepare, it says, is better.

Now, people prepare plans. That plan is outside their destiny. outside the persons', outside their destinies. So Allah Almighty says, in response to this I prepare a plan. That is, which will spoil his plan, Allah Almighty, the events that will appear within people's destinies, by reinforcing them for them, brings the destinies back into line. In this case no one can step outside his destiny. It is not that Allah prepares a plan and then uses that plan over people's will. Because Allah Almighty does not take away anyone's will from a person and use His own will instead. So Allah Almighty's plan takes the plan those people made outside the deeds they would do, and removes it.

He puts them into the plan within their own destinies. Thus "Did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you are?" — a person grasps the secret of the verse that says this. Otherwise, if he had prepared a plan outside his own (?), he would have fallen into a greater kufr. What happens when he falls into a greater kufr? Then he has stepped outside the program. In this case a person may perhaps (?) a great torment because of one mistake. Someone else suffers injustice because of the plan he prepared. As Allah Almighty programmed it, the world according to people's program, according to what they will do, the worlds are programmed.

No being can step outside this program. Yes.

He is the One who knows what those to come until the Day of Judgement will do. For this reason Allah Almighty says in this verse: We know what you reveal and what you conceal. We, with ulterior motives, do good to people — if under that guise we wrong them, or covet their honour, and make them tools of our evil aims, even if no one suspects us, even if they do not see, Allah sees us. He sees. For this reason, if a person, by deceitful ways and following Satan's footsteps, making ourselves look right, into people's private quarters that are theirs alone and which they have not permitted he enters, learns their secrets, blackmails them, uses them, makes them tools of his evil aims — since Allah knows the hidden and the open, of course Allah is aware of these too.

Yes. At the Great Tribunal, Allah Almighty will lay out before all people what they did. So Allah's commands give life to people. Whoever steps outside Allah's commands lives in depression, distress and unrest, restless, in tightness of heart. They are losers both in this world and in the hereafter.

Pay attention. When a person does an evil deed, he falls into unrest and depression. And if he later regrets it, he gets the deed he did stuck in his head, and Satan, too, keeps tempting him, makes him (?), holds him back. And note this. When a person does a good deed, he attains peace. How nice, he says. I did someone a good turn. Sir, even if the person had done you evil, even if he doesn't know it, the One who created him knows the value of that good deed and so rewards you. We do not do it so that people, in return for the good we have done, think well of us and love us. Nor do we do our good deed for the person.

To Allah's servant, to Allah — since we act in accordance with Allah's command, the help we give to the person we are giving to Allah.

And the person receives it not from me, not from Ahmet or Mehmet, but from Allah.

In this case both the one who helps and the one helped, without feeling any superiority or inferiority toward each other, as servants of Allah, know that they receive help from Allah and give to Allah. In this case, if both are Muslim brothers, he gives for Allah's sake. If I did not love Allah, like a non-Muslim, for a single penny I would sell my homeland too. I would betray people too. Where there is no law, I would commit every kind of evil too. The non-Muslim is like that. But the person who believes Allah is One and is honoured with the light of Islam, because he acts within Allah's command, leans his back on Allah, not on a person.

Of the help he gives a person, he expects nothing from that person; he simply does it. That is what help is, after all.

The other one, for the help that was given, says thank you. But he knows he received the help from Allah Himself.

The Prophet says in his hadiths: when someone gives you a gift, he says, thank him, he says. Yes.
