Tafsir
On the Day of Reckoning, when hearts and eyes will be confused, Allah (swt) will greet the people, the lamps of the earth, with a smiling face. Allah, who will give to every soul what every soul earns, will give to those who remember Allah, remember Him, worship and do good deeds, fulfill the conditions of Islam such as prayer, fasting, zakat, etc., and look out for the poor and the needy, and obey Allah's commands and prohibitions, Allah will give more out of His grace and mercy than the good and good deeds that people have earned. This is because Allah is the Almighty. He does not need anything. He has created what He has created to give to people. In this respect, Allah's grace and mercy are abundant.
Allah sustains those who ask of Him out of His bounty without calculation. People's actions depend on their intentions. Therefore, people's good deeds and good deeds are evaluated according to the status of their intentions. In return for these good deeds and good deeds, Allah (swt) will multiply them out of His grace and kindness.
If people's intentions and the good deeds they do are only for the sake of Allah and to gain His pleasure, Allah (swt) gives such people unaccounted sustenance. Because there is no God other than Allah, so that any other God can prevent Allah (swt) from giving untold sustenance to His servant in return for his worship. Allah is absolute power. The sovereignty of His property is in His power. He is the Wise in His judgment. There is no judge on the Day of Reckoning except Him.
What is said in the video
This is verse 38 of Surah An-Nur, a wrongly interpreted verse; we have corrected it here. Let's see what the wrong version looks. In Surah An-Nur, verse 38, let's read the wrong one from here.
Surah Al-Mu'min, (?) Surah An-Nur, verse 38. We are reading the wrong one. Because on that day Allah will reward them with the best of what they did. This part is correct. With the best of people. Whatever best you did in the life of this world, He will reward you with it. And He will give them abundantly out of His grace. "Allah provides for whom He wills without measure," it says here now. Provides for whom He wills. Now here they ascribe attributes to Allah Almighty. Allah provides not for whom He wills, but for the one who wills, the one who wills. For those of you who will, within their destinies, He provides without measure.
Now, the proof that it is "the one who wills" — as we always do, since there are also new listeners here, a repetition is useful. Allah Almighty, in Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172, says: Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. We from the children of Adam brought forth their offspring that would emerge from their offspring. We made a covenant with them. We said: We are your Lord. Elestü is a definite command. We said: We are your Lord. Here everyone's desire and wish, their aim, was written for them as destiny. Had He wished, Allah Almighty would have put pressure on people. He would have programmed these people in line with His own desire and wish.
He did not do so. What did He do? He left everyone free in their own desire and wish. According to each person's desire and wish, He wrote their aims for them as destiny. If here everyone's own desire and wish became their destiny, if people are to live their destinies, if through the actual deeds they do within their destinies they will receive reward and sin, then here, where did Allah Almighty's willing over that person go? What became of His willing? If Allah had a willing over us while we are in the world, verse 137 of Surah Ta-Ha. Give me my phone. We will find it faster there. Well, Surah Ta-Ha, Surah Al-Qasas and Surah Ta-Ha, verse 47 of Surah Al-Qasas and verse 134 of Surah Ta-Ha. Some of us know about this, but it is worth explaining to those who do not know.
If We had destroyed them with a punishment before this, that is, before the Quran — what does this mean? Now, if We, before this, that is before the Quran — before the Quran: where does the meaning of that lead? The Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel are in the Quran. When He says before the Quran: before people came into the world, first in the Lahut realm, Allah Almighty, who created our souls, when He said there "I am your Lord", when He said "I am your Lord", the One who wrote their desires and wishes, their aims, for them as destiny — Allah Almighty is pointing there. What does it say? Let's read it once more.
If We had destroyed them with a punishment before this, before the Quran — that is, those who did not obey, since they made themselves known there — if We had cast those who did not obey into Hell, they would surely have said this, it says. O Lord, if only You had sent us a messenger, so that before falling into this lowliness and disgrace we would have followed Your verses. So, since Allah Almighty is free of all deficient attributes, since no human can in any way question or interrogate Allah Almighty — Allah's attribute of being Allah — He created these worlds. He sent us to an unseen realm where His Being is not visible.
Now that is the (?) arena. Here is a prophet for you. Here is a book for you. And here is a scholar for you. Now do what you want. Here, where is Allah's willing over me? If He had willed — look what it says anyway. If He had willed. "If We had destroyed them with a punishment before this, before the Quran," it says. He knows what we will do. How does He know? In a verse Allah Almighty says: there is not a single living being to come until the Day of Judgment of which We do not know what it will do. In that case, since Allah Almighty knows what we do, the worlds are programmed accordingly; no being can step outside this program.
So everyone, in return for the covenant they gave to Allah Almighty, will live their destiny and, through the actual deeds they did with their desire and wish within that destiny, will receive reward and sin. Fe men ya'mel miskâle zerretin hayran yerah — his good of an atom's weight I will record, He says. Ve men ya'mel miskâle zerretin şerran yerah — his evil of an atom's weight, too, I will record, He says. In that case, if the good I did of an atom's weight and the evil I did of an atom's weight are to be recorded, where did Allah Almighty's willing over me go? You cannot ascribe attributes to Allah Almighty.
"My mercy in the universe is for everyone," He says. Making distinctions (?). "We have even divided your world equally among you," He says. Your world. Yes.
Having understood this part this way, we read the verse. Because on that day Allah will reward them with the best of what they did. How beautifully He says it. He will reward them with the best of what they did. He does not say: I made them do it and, how shall I put it, I will reward them. And He will give them abundantly out of His grace. Ah, this is Allah. If your good deed is worth three rewards, He will give five. If five, He will give seven. If seven, He will give seventy. What grace is this grace of Allah upon you? Deeds depend on intention. According to your intention. And on top of that, because we pleased our Lord — where?
He will make a gift. Don't we make gifts? Don't we give presents? So in this verse, our Lord, because of our obeying Him there, making a gift to us. Increasing our gift, giving a present. What is it? Out of this grace He will give them abundantly. Allah provides without measure for those of you who will, within their destinies. Whatever the one who wills has willed, He will give that to the person.
On that Day of Reckoning, on a day when hearts and eyes are turned upside down, Allah Almighty will personally welcome with a smiling face the people who are the lamps of the earth. Allah, who will give every soul in full what it earned — to those who in this world did not forget His Being and remembered Allah, who kept up worship and obedience, who fulfilled the pillars of Islam such as prayer, fasting and zakat, and who also looked after the poor and those in need,
to people who observe Allah's commands and prohibitions — Allah Almighty, out of His grace and mercy, will give more than the good deeds and good works people have earned. Because Allah is Ghani. Ghani. He has the attribute Ghani. He has no need of anything. He created what He created in order to give it to people. For this reason Allah's grace and generosity are abundant. The one who asks of Allah Almighty, Allah provides for out of His grace without measure.
The deeds people do depend on their intentions. For this reason, the good deeds and good works people do are judged according to the state of their intentions. In return for these good deeds and good works, Allah Almighty, out of His grace and generosity, increases them. So if people's intentions and the good deeds and good works they do are purely for Allah and to earn Allah's pleasure, to such people Allah Almighty gives provision without measure. Because there is no other god besides Allah, so that the provision without measure Allah Almighty gives His servant for the worship he does for Him could be blocked by another god.
Allah is absolute power. The sovereignty of dominion is in Allah's power. He is wise in His judgment. Besides Him, on that Day of Reckoning, no one has authority to judge. And in a verse it says: on that day judgment belongs to Allah alone. Yes.
