Tafsir
Many commentators have interpreted this verse in different meanings. However, since there can be no deficiency in the Word of Allah, the interpretations of these commentators have been found to be incomplete over time. For example, some of them interpreted the increase in the lands of the Muslims by conquering the lands of the disbelievers as a decrease in the lands of the disbelievers. Others have pointed out that the earth is diminished by floods and rains and erosion of the earth's surface. The meaning of this verse is outside the interpretation of these commentators. It does not mean what they say it means.
The meaning of this verse is that the tribes who transgressed in disbelief and went to extremes will be wiped off the face of the earth. The souls of the Prophets were created from the soul of the Prophet (PBUH) and the souls of their people were created from the souls of those Prophets. Humans are descended from our father Adam and mother Eve on earth. Accordingly, human beings as a society are human societies. If these societies act in the direction Allah says and excel, they will earn paradise. If they act in the opposite direction, in the opposite direction to Allah's commands, they will earn Hell. The societies that go beyond the limits in disbelief and reach the point of destruction are the extremes of people in disbelief. The disappearance of people from the earth from these extremes is their diminishing.
(And He is the swift Reckoner): This is the transgression of the people in Allah's commands. In this case, Allah reminds us of the destruction of the tribes. Did they not see that in the events such as the destruction of the people of Lot, the people of Thamud, the people of Ad, the flood of Noah, the destruction of Pharaoh, We destroyed and diminished the extremes of these people, that is, those who excelled in disbelief and crossed the line?
There is no one who can overturn the judgment of Allah. Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, those who rebel against them, those who disbelieve in Allah and the Hereafter, and those who go beyond the limits in disbelief, Allah has wisdom in His judgment, and He destroys those people. There is no one who can stand against the judgment of Allah.
Allah is quick in reckoning. Because a thousand years in this world is like a day in the Hereafter. Therefore, in the Hereafter, a person's life in this world is like hours or minutes. In this respect, people's reckoning is very quick in the sight of Allah.
What is said in the video
Come on, tell me, look what it says: did they not see that We come to the earth and reduce it from its edges?
Allah judges as He wills, there is none to overturn His judgement, and He is swift in reckoning.
your (?), your scholar too, your scholar's scholar too, your scholars who interpret the verses, who do tafsir, look what they write now.
We are putting them here too.
Many commentators have interpreted this verse in different senses. Commentators. They interpret.
But I will interpret too.
You have reason. Use it.
Use your reason. When they say this man meddles with the verses a lot, they can't say this man explains the verses from the root of the truth. From its root. Yes. Many commentators have interpreted this verse in different senses. Yet since there can be no deficiency in Allah's word, these commentators' interpretations have, over time, been shown to be deficient. Their interpretations. For example, some as the Muslims taking over the unbelievers' regions, their lands increasing. Don't they say that? Yes. They interpreted it as the unbelievers' lands shrinking. Some, however: whereas Islam is constantly declining, the unbelievers are taking over lands, and since Islam will decline until the Day of Judgement, the lands will have passed into the unbelievers' hands. This now, well, Islam spreading and taking over lands.
Some others have pointed to the earth's layer diminishing through floods and rains, through erosion. The meaning of this verse lies outside these commentators' interpretations. It does not carry the meanings they stated. Now we explain it. The meaning of this verse is: the extreme peoples who overstep the limit in kufr being wiped off the earth. It is Allah Almighty destroying them. What does it say? Did they not see that We come to the earth and reduce it from its edges? From whose edges? Peoples exceeding kufr, overstepping the limit: Allah Almighty reducing them by destroying them. Wiping them off the earth: with kufr at its peak, the peoples being wiped off the earth.
In the realm of Lahut, from the spirit of the Prophet (peace be upon him), the spirits of the prophets, and from the spirits of those prophets the spirits of the peoples were created. People on earth descend from our father Adam and our mother Eve. Accordingly, people as a society are a human society. If these societies act in the direction Allah said and excel, they win Paradise. If not, if they act contrary, in the direction opposite to Allah's commands, they win hell.
So the societies overstepping the limit in kufr, reaching their points of destruction, are humanity's extreme parts in kufr. The extreme parts of kufr. In a verse too it says: do not push the limits. What does limit mean? Going to the end of a place and hitting the border. That is, you have come to its outermost part.
What happens if you overstep the limit? You are destroyed there. So their reaching the points of destruction is the edges of humanity. Of these edges of humanity, their being wiped off the earth is their reduction. And His saying He is swift in reckoning: we are coming to that now. It is not the earth's lands decreasing. And He will be swift in reckoning. Why? He went beyond kufr; in the hereafter He will be swift in reckoning. Is there any meaning of "the earth" here at all? Coming to the earth: look, it doesn't say "the earth's", but these are people who see the Alif backwards. We come to the earth: Allah says, I come to the earth.
What does it say? We come to the earth; yes, He comes. How does He come? He comes with His command. He gives His command and destroys. On earth, isn't it? He gave His command, He destroyed. So: did they not see that We come to the earth and reduce it from its edges? Did they not see the peoples We destroyed by Our command, it says. Yes.
Your commentators and your scholar: what will they understand from these verses? To unravel this verse a spiritual world is needed. Our Lord must raise him. He must show him those verses. He must give it to his heart through inspiration. And he must know the knowledge of ladun.
This man meddles with the verses. Of course I will meddle. They have inserted these (?). With these (?) they have steered people. Allah Almighty will make the truth heard to people. Since no more prophets are coming, will He leave the world unattended? Well, won't you say tomorrow: O my Lord, You sent prophets to all peoples, You sent scholars; if only You had sent us a scholar too; we chased after these superstitions; won't you say that? You will. So, since Allah Almighty says: We will not call anyone to account for a thing We did not make heard, if He sent a scholar over you, who opens the verses one by one and shows you the truth, is this man meddling with the verses?
Yes, they will miss us more. When we leave here, when we leave this world, the generation coming after will grasp it through the works we leave behind. And that saying He is swift in reckoning refers to these people overstepping the limit within Allah's commands. In this case Allah Almighty is reminding of the destruction of peoples. Among these, in events like the people of Lot, the Thamud, the Ad, Noah's Flood, the destruction of Pharaoh, from the upper parts of these people, that is, those who stood out in kufr and overstepped the limit, did they not see that We reduced them by destroying, that is, that We wiped them out, it says.
How beautifully it says it. So, there is none to overturn Allah's judgement. Once that judgement is issued, it is over. Look how beautifully the verses support one another. There is none to overturn Allah's judgement. Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, who rebel against them, who deny Allah and the hereafter: when they overstep the limit in kufr, since Allah is wise in His judgement, He destroys these peoples. And there is none to stand against Allah Almighty's judgement. Yes. Allah Almighty is swift in reckoning. Because a thousand years of this world are like one day of the hereafter. Therefore, in the hereafter, a person's life in this world is like hours or minutes. Therefore people's reckoning is done very quickly with Allah.
Yes.
What a fine answer to the question, wasn't it?
Did it become batini, esoteric? Batini. It goes everywhere.
