Translation

The blasphemers say; “You are not a Messenger.” Say; “Between you and me, Allah and those who have knowledge of the Scriptures are sufficient as witnesses.”

Tafsir

People who disbelieved in Allah and the Prophet denied the Prophethood of the Prophet (SAW) and insulted him by saying that you are not a person sent as a Prophet.

Allah (swt) addressed the Prophet (s.a.w.). Tell them that Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you. And it is enough for me to testify to you about my Prophethood with the Holy Qur'an, which was sent as a miracle of Allah, and the knowledge of that Book, which confirms my Prophethood and sheds light before people with its knowledge. Allah is sufficient between you and me as a witness as to who speaks the truth.

The mention of the knowledge of the Holy Qur'an means that everything wet and dry is in the Holy Qur'an. It is written what all the beings that will come until the Day of Resurrection, what man and jinn will do, what will happen in the universe and how people will go to heaven and hell. At the end of this world's life, people will wake up as if from sleep and the truth will be revealed. Then they will realize that the Qur'an has come to mankind as the truth and that it gives life and calls people to salvation. But it will be too late. They have begun a journey from which there is no return, namely migration to the Hereafter. The testimony of the Prophet will be sufficient for every rational person, along with the knowledge of the Qur'an.

What is said in the video

Let's open it.

Yes.

Those who disbelieve: you are not someone sent as a Messenger, they say. The disbelievers. Of course every person came into the world to prove what kind of person they are. First in the barzakh, first in the barzakh, those branded as disbelievers, people, that is, those who opposed Allah Almighty, those who said "You are not my Lord", will in the world too prove themselves. How will they prove it? By (?) the messengers Allah Almighty sent, by turning their backs on them, they will show what kind of people they are, they will prove it. Even if you showed thousands of miracles before their eyes every day, still they would not believe; they would say it is sorcery, it is magic.

Yes. Say: Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you, and the one with whom is knowledge of the Book, the Prophet, it says. Yes.

Now Allah Almighty is speaking of the knowledge of the Holy Quran here. Since the wet and the dry are in the Quran, the origin of all sciences is also in the Holy Quran. Since Allah Almighty's word is built on letters, what meaning a letter forms when it comes next to another letter, this is in Allah's knowledge. We cannot know these. And that we cannot know it is shown in the seventh verse of Surah Al Imran; it proves it. What does it say? Some verses of the Quran are muhkam, it says. That is, He sent them to us in a way we can understand. And some are muqatta'a, it says. But those with sickness in their hearts, it says, go after these muqatta'a verses.

Their knowledge is only with Allah, it says. So what are those muqatta'a verses? Muqatta'a verses such as Elif, Lâm, Mîm, Tâ, Hâ, Yâsîn are within Allah Almighty's knowledge. What is their meaning? Allah knows best. Whoever tries to give them a meaning becomes a poor person who has fallen for the desire to be a leader.

Yes. Those who disbelieve are people who do not believe in Allah and the Prophet. They denied the prophethood of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and saying "You are not one sent as a prophet", they insulted the Prophet (peace be upon him). Allah Almighty, addressing the Prophet (peace be upon him): Say to them, Allah suffices as a witness between me and you. Indeed. Allah will suffice for us as a witness among everyone. Where? At the Great Tribunal. And how will He bear witness for us? On that day, the judgment is Allah's alone. That day. The judgment is Allah's alone. In return. The deeds people have done on earth, just as when something is filmed on video, with people's images frozen, our life on earth and what we did before will, like a film reel, be shown to us. Allah Almighty is swift in reckoning.

Serîu'l-hisâb, it says. Swift in reckoning. If a thousand years of this world are like one day of the Hereafter, and if a life of a few hours here corresponds to sixty (?) years, then just think of serîu'l-hisâb there. In this case Allah Almighty, in a deadlock among people or in any (?) there, suffices as a witness. Also say to them: Allah suffices as a witness between me and you. Also, the Holy Quran, sent as a miracle of Allah, and with the knowledge in it that lights the way before people and confirms my prophethood, the knowledge of that Book being with me, it suffices that I bear witness to you about my prophethood.

As to who is telling the truth between you and me, again Allah suffices as a witness, it says. As a witness. This verse... anyway, all the verses support one another, don't they? No verse contradicts any other verse. They all confirm one another. In the verse: Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Even if all people were on one side and all turned their backs on you, say: Allah, Owner of the heavens and the earth and the great Throne, suffices me, it says. So it is: between people and him, Allah suffices as a witness. As for the mention of the Holy Quran's knowledge: since everything wet and dry is in the Holy Quran, what all beings until the Day of Judgment, humans and jinn, will do, what will happen in the universe, and in what state people will go to Paradise and to Hell, is written. This also supports the following verse. There is not a single living being to come until the Day of Judgment whose doings We do not know.

Yes. Anyway, what is said always corresponds to verses. At the end of worldly life, people will wake as if from sleep, and the truth will come to light. This here corresponds to the following verse. When you are resurrected on the Day of Judgment, you will ask one another: How long did we lie under the earth? Some of you will say a day, and the wisest of you: we lay a little less than a day. That is, they will rise as if waking from sleep. Yes. That the Quran came to people as the truth, came to people, and that it gave people life and called them to salvation, they will understand then. But by then it is too late.

They have migrated on a journey of no return, that is, to the realm of the Hereafter.

The migration on a journey of no return, that is, to the realm of the Hereafter, has begun. So for every person who uses their reason, the Quran, and the testimony of the Prophet who has the Quran's knowledge with him, will suffice us. Because the Quran is a miracle. What is the miracle of the Quran? The miracle of the Quran: so many verses, without ever contradicting one another, show people a way, and within this way the secrets of creation appear, which belong to Allah alone. Within this way, what He means by the muqatta'a verses again belongs to Allah alone. It informs us of His Sharia rulings and brings us out of this dark world into a bright light.

The knowledge of the Quran. Yes. And what else does this prove? It declares that there is no god but Allah, and that He is the absolute owner and might of all these worlds.
