Tafsir
If you only knew that by marrying among yourselves the poor who cannot marry, you are giving Allah (swt) the wealth that you have given to these people. By marrying amongst yourselves those of our slaves or concubines who are eligible, you are not only preventing them from committing adultery, but you are also providing them with a warm home. Also, by fulfilling Allah's commandment, we gain Allah's favor.
Among them, the meaning of "suitable" is that slaves and concubines are those who are mature or of sound mind and capable of self-support and who are able to maintain their marriage.
If we do not marry these poor people because we fear that they will not be able to make a living because they are poor, we are stepping on the sustenance that Allah has ordained for people. Namely; Allah knows the unseen. We cannot know what will happen in the next moment. So if we are wealthy today, a moment later, a fire, a landslide or a flood, or a person is defrauded, the wealth will be gone and the person will be bankrupt. Since the sustenance of all people is in the providence of Allah, you look at the poor and you see that Allah opens the doors of sustenance on them from doors that people do not know, and they become wealthy.
Therefore, by not marrying these people amongst ourselves because they are poor and cannot provide for themselves, we are encouraging them to commit fornication. We are also making a decision about their sustenance instead of Allah (swt), which Allah forbid would be committing shirk. Many families today do not marry their children for fear of livelihood. In this way, these children are encouraged to commit adultery. If it were not for Allah's mercy upon us, if deeds were not based on intentions, we would not be able to save ourselves from Allah's wrath.
Allah's grace is wide. Allah has placed property at the disposal of human beings and made human beings equal to creation. In this respect, Allah is not stingy that He should deprive people of what He has created. Therefore, Allah's grace and mercy on us is great. If Allah does not give us the world, He is surely preventing us from evil. If He gives the world to man in abundance, he too is being tested. Allah is the owner of wisdom. In any case, if people consent to what comes from Allah, Allah will grant them His mercy both in this world and in the Hereafter.
Allah is all-knowing, all-knowing. Allah created this whole universe with knowledge. Allah, who created human beings in the realm of Lahut, made a covenant with them and gave the destiny of each soul to Him as destiny. So Allah, who has written the wills of people as destiny for them, knows what people will do and what they will be provided for during their lifetime, and He knows what people who will come until the Day of Judgment will do and what they will be provided for during their lifetime. If Allah did not program these worlds, but worked according to the actions of human beings, Allah would be characterized and the worlds would be confused. Allah is All-knowing, All-knowing.
What is said in the video
The unmarried among you, and those of your male and female slaves who are suitable, marry them off, it says. That is, do not keep unmarried people among you. One does not even pray behind an unmarried imam. An unmarried imam. In this case people, people are to carry out their marriages, which are Allah's command. What does it say? The unmarried among us, that is, those not in a position to marry, the unmarried, of your male slaves and female slaves those who are suitable, marry them off. If they are poor, Allah will make them rich out of His grace. Allah is vast in grace and all-knowing, it says.
So when we say, I'm poor, sir, I can't do this, I can't do that, are you meddling with Allah's provision for you? I mean, what do you know of what you'll be given tomorrow? You say, I'm poor, I can't get married. Look what Allah Almighty says. If they are poor, Allah will make them rich out of His grace. These are Allah's treasures; Allah's doors are many; He opens unknown doors upon people. You just carry out Allah's command once. Yes. Allah is vast in grace and all-knowing, it says.
If only you knew that by marrying off the poor who do not marry among yourselves, the property you gave to these people you gave to Allah Almighty. I mean, this one is poor, he can't marry. If only I could marry him off. Sir, when you married him off, you did not give him that money, that property you did not give to that person. Because you carried out Allah's command, you gave that property to Allah. In this case, in return for the property given to Allah, you have transferred the world to the hereafter. Now, they misunderstand this verse too. You transferred it to the hereafter. Meaning, he'll go to Paradise in this world.
It's not like that. In return for the property you gave, Allah Almighty will, more than abundantly, let you enjoy those radiant mansions in the highest Paradise; He will give. He will give more. Yes. By marrying off, among ourselves, those of our male or female slaves who are suitable, we both prevent these people from committing adultery and bring them to a warm home. Moreover, by carrying out Allah's command we attain Allah's grace and generosity. How beautiful. We are all guests in this world. In the world we are travellers, wayfarers. One day the decree of the Truth will come to pass. And finally, according to the verse that says every soul will taste death and your return is to Me, we will go to give account in the presence of our Lord.
When? When the Hour comes, when the mountains pass like clouds, when the seas swell, when the earth throws out what is inside it, when the sky flows like molten metal — then, there, the Hour has come. then when the earth is another earth, and the sky another sky, when the earth is brought out dead flat, with neither dip nor rise, (?) (?), it says. That is, our bodies will be raised again from there, when the souls are paired, that is, when soul and body come together, when you come with a driver into My presence, yes, We will silence your mouths, We will bind your feet, We will make your hands speak, He says.
So each person came to this realm to prove what kind of person he is. So we say: O man, in this swamp, blossomed like the flower of the zaqqum tree, this world — do not be (?) by its state and turn your back on Allah's commands. Yes. By "suitable" among them is meant: of male and female slaves, people with a maturity to carry the obligation of marriage, or who are of sound mind and age and can manage themselves.
These people who are poor and cannot marry — because they are poor, fearing they cannot make a living, by not marrying them off among ourselves we meddle with the provision Allah has ordained for people. That is, Allah knows the unseen. We cannot know what will happen a moment later. So if we are wealthy today, a moment later a fire, an earthquake or a flood disaster, a person being swindled, and the wealth flies out of hand and is gone; the person becomes (?). Since all people's provision is in Allah's decree, as for the poor one, you see that Allah Almighty, from His doors unknown to people, opens the doors of provision upon them, and they become wealthy.
Yes, for this reason, because these people are poor and cannot secure their livelihood, by not marrying these people off among us, we encourage them toward adultery. Moreover, in place of Allah, we decide about people's provisions, which, God forbid, means we commit shirk. Today many families do not marry off their children for fear of making a living. In this state these children are being encouraged toward adultery. If Allah had no mercy upon us, if deeds did not depend on intention, we could not save ourselves from Allah's wrath.
Allah's grace is vast. Allah has given dominion to people's (?) and made people the noblest of creatures. Therefore Allah is not stingy, that He would deprive people of what He created. So Allah's grace and mercy upon us are vast. If Allah does not give us the world, surely He is keeping us from evils. And if He gives the world to a person abundantly, that person too is going through a test. Allah is the Possessor of wisdom. In any case, if a person accepts what comes from Allah, Allah grants people His mercy both in this world and in the hereafter. Moreover, if a person in this world, in any case, puts his trust in Allah Almighty, he finds peace. And peace is in Islam anyway.
Yes, Allah is all-knowing, He knows everything. Allah created this whole universe with His knowledge. Allah, who created people in the realm of Lahut, made a covenant with them, and gave each soul its wish as its destiny. So Allah, who writes people's wishes for them as destiny — just as He knows of people, throughout their lives, for a whole lifetime, what they will do within these lifetimes and what provisions they will attain — He is the One who knows, of the people who, until the Day of Judgement, will come, what they will do in their lives and what provisions they will attain. What does Allah Almighty say in His verse? Until the Day of Judgement there is not a single living being to come whose deeds We do not know, He says.
If Allah had programmed these worlds and then acted according to people's actions, that is, if Allah had not programmed these worlds, not programmed them, and acted according to people's actions, Allah would take on attributes, and the worlds would collide. Allah is all-knowing, He knows everything. He programmed these worlds in proportion to people's destinies, and knows what every single living being to come until the Day of Judgement will do.
