Al-Baqarah 81: Indeed, if someone accumulates sins (and is in denial) and if sins encircle the person from all sides; such people are the dwellers of hell. They will remain there eternally.

Yes, we passed 75, because I am aware of that too. We left off at 81. Let's bring up verse 81.

Allah Almighty says: no. No, 'bala', no.

Whoever does evil by denying, and whose sins surround him from every side, these are the people of Hell. They remain there forever. Now one must understand the word of Allah Almighty well. Understanding solves the matter anyway. What does it say? Whoever does evil by denying, and whose sins surround him from every side, that is, the person knows that this is a sin. His Lord also tells him: don't do it. But knowingly, turning his back on Allah, he has deified his own nafs, and with the whims of that nafs, wanting to please people, seized by the passion to be a leader, showing himself as great, thinking that by doing it he will be counted a hero, those wretched ones, by Satan's seduction, by this trickery, the wretched people stuck in that swamp, in that swamp which has surrounded them from every side, will not be able to save themselves. So they, it says, are the people of Hell.

Let's read what we wrote in the tafsir. This is a meaning from the essence. Yes. Whoever acts outside the command of Allah Almighty, does evil, and because of the evils he does considers his own nafs to be right, does not regret what he did, does not approve of the path Allah has shown, changes it according to his own reason and considers what he did to be right, because of these people's denial their sins surround them from every side.

Yes. Of course, we wrote this in a way the general public can understand. Well, what was the essence, the essence? The essence is that a person, denying Allah, by the whims of his own nafs, well, by Satan's seduction, approves of what he does, plus appears as if he were a hero, and by Satan deceiving him, making him overstep Allah's limits, letting him be carried away by the whim of showing off greatness among people, that is how they commit this. And they are pleased with it. Through this contentment their sins cover them from every side. These cannot bow their necks to the ground and submit to Allah.

That is their destiny too. That is why it says: We put collars (lale) on their necks. What was a lale? They put it on dogs' necks so that when they fight wolves, the wolf does not lunge and bite the neck. They reinforced the dogs' necks with nails like this. They cannot bow their necks to the ground.

These are the people of Hell. They will remain there forever.

Let's both read and correct some words in the writings. Yes, they are the people of Hell. They will remain there forever. Because of their hatred and arrogance, their pride and haughtiness, when they taste the punishment of Hell, because of the torments they suffer, against Allah Almighty their hatred will grow even more. And because of that hatred, since their nafs do not reach perfection, they will remain there forever.

Now you could ask a question like this. Hodja, a person sees the punishment, and there, against the one who threw me there, how could I bear a grudge again? I would make every kind of offering to get out of there. 'Give', I would do it. Who is this? The people of faith. One who is not of the people of faith can never feel what you feel. That is your word, Hodja. Is there a verse? Of course, I don't say anything without a verse. What does it say? Their hearts are restless and scattered. Where? My beloved, do not mind their calling you a liar. In their time they betrayed Me too, it says. Allah Almighty says: had We wished, had We used Our own will over you, We would have lowered angels to you from the clouds and made you prostrate. How great the value He gives to man is, we understand from this verse. He has left man free in his own will.

And within this will He willed that he know his Lord through his own being. In this case, if man, if He willed that he know his Lord by his own will, Allah Almighty, if man's wish and desire from Allah Almighty within this will, his intention, became his destiny, then going outside the intention of this wish and desire is not possible either. Here is another verse. 'Tell your Lord', they will say to Malik, the keeper of Hell. 'Tell your Lord to lighten the punishment on us a little.' And here is another verse for you, what does it say? They will not be able to see their Lord. Who? The polytheists, the disbelievers, those who pass to the hereafter outside the religion of Islam.

Well then, will they not see Allah? Allah Almighty does not mean that. So what does He mean? The Lord they imagined, the one they expected according to their own reason instead of believing in Me, that Lord they will not find. There is no such Lord; there is no god but Allah. Allah Almighty, with that verse too, La ilahe illallah (?). All the verses confirm and support one another. In this case, when these enter Hell, when they see the punishment there, with the feelings in their nature they will turn to rebellion, and their hatred toward Allah Almighty will grow. As the hatred grows, that is how they will remain there forever.

(?) a thousand years, it says? After suffering that punishment they will no longer feel or taste it. How will they no longer feel or taste it? How will Allah Almighty here bring that human body to a state where it does not feel or taste? Here, when they operate on you, they give you morphine. They give you anaesthesia, put you to sleep, cut you, slice you, and the pain you don't feel. Right? So when your nerve senses are removed, when He removes those nerve senses from you, you will not suffer pain there. Just as, it says, that which leaps like yellow sparks, into that (?), into that fire thrown, those people's skins, it says, like dried earth cracking, pitch-black crack, peel off, peel off, and from under those skins a new one, brand-new skin emerges, so there too they will remain as eternal logs of Hell, it says.

What does it say here now? These are the people of Hell; they remain there forever. Probably. Germen Kemal had asked again. So that I don't wrong him, or rather, so that I don't say something false, or else someone else asked it on this site. Hodja, is there a verse that they will stay in Hell permanently? Look, the verses are here. Be patient, be patient, keep on listening. You will learn everything. You will learn everything. So these are eternal people of Hell. A Muslim too will enter Hell because of his sins. He too will enter Hell. This person of Hell will say to the Muslim: you were a Muslim, why did you come here?

The Muslim, to the person of Hell: when I was in the world I was no different from you; perhaps I was doing worse things than you. This punishment my Lord gave me is even too little for me, he will say. Where will the Muslim say this from? He will say it from his faith. He will reflect and realize that he is guilty. He will bow his neck before Allah. Allah Almighty, who is aware of their talk, will say: O My servant, your nafs has reached perfection, come out of there. Who is this? The Muslim. Even with a little faith he will find perfection there. This is how the difference between a Muslim and a non-Muslim will appear.

For one, the more he sees punishment in Hell, the more his hatred toward Allah grows; the other, the more he sees the punishment, says 'this is my due', and his love for his Lord grows. Do you see the difference between the two? That is why no Muslim will remain in Hell forever. Here the verse about the Prophet (peace be upon him), 'he does not speak idly', will become manifest. According to this verse, 'he does not speak idly', he says: until not a single one of my ummah remains in Hell, I will intercede with Allah Almighty.

How beautifully the verses and hadiths all support one another like this. Yes. In this case a person takes pride in being a Muslim.

With his own being, for being honoured with the light of Islam he feels honoured. And even if he truly is to enter Hell, the light of Islam is in him, isn't it? That person truly is the most honourable of creatures.

At least, with this verse, no (?) remains. One: they are permanently the people of Hell. Two: they are like four-legged beasts roaming the earth. Even sometimes they are (?). Because these, up to a certain point, well, commit crimes, and then they stop. But, one, the non-Muslim,

for his crime to come to an end.
