Ibrahim 28: Did you not see those who return Allah’s blessings with ingratitude and who at the end lead their people to the dwelling of destruction?

Yes.

Surah Ibrahim, verse 28. Have you not seen those who repay Allah's blessing with ingratitude and in the end drag their people to the abode of destruction? See, it has come just right. The verse has come just right: those who repay Allah's blessing with ingratitude: you stay in this homeland, the money of this homeland's nation you exploit, and in the face of this blessing Allah has given you you shelter under His blessing, and people you steer to speechlessness, wash their brains, go take this place's money to the land of unbelievers, squander the helpless orphan's money.

Those who repay Allah's blessings with ingratitude and in the end drag their people to the abode of destruction, have you not seen them? O community! Take a lesson from this verse. If you follow him: have you not seen those who drag their people to the abode of destruction, it says. Do not be dragged into destruction. You have reason, use your reason. The door of repentance is open until the soul reaches the throat, reaches it. As I said earlier, don't be prejudiced. Don't be the captive of your nafs. Don't fall for Satan's temptation. Decide using your reason. Be with your reason. If you say I am a Muslim, if you want to live as a Muslim, if you are wary of, fear Allah and His Messenger, if you want to embrace Islam, as soon as possible repent and turn back. Yes, we were deceived, but being deceived does not bring a person shamelessness or dishonour or embarrassment.

Because Allah created us imperfect. We are fallible. We make mistakes. But when we understand our mistake and turn back, when we ask Allah Almighty for pardon and forgiveness, since we conform to our Lord's purpose in creating us, our Lord forgives us. In that case, we may have been deceived. This is not an embarrassment. But the wrongdoing is that of those who, still knowingly following along, drag their nafs to destruction. What does it say? Those who repay Allah's blessing with ingratitude: eat, take this place's money, take the right of this helpless orphan for yourself, the zakat collect, take trillions, billions, billions of dollars from people, go and foist them onto non-Muslims.

And in the end, have you not seen those who drag their people to the abode of destruction? Have you not seen those who followed him, those who obeyed him? What happened? In the end they all got Allah's slap and finally perished and were gone.

Allah Almighty offers people His blessings in every respect. In every respect. People, however, are ungrateful toward Allah Almighty. They do not see the blessings He gives as given by Allah. They go and worship idols that Allah created and that they shaped with their hands, and from them they ask.

Believe me, idolaters, compared to these (?), are one degree higher.

These idolaters.

The unbeliever is one thing, the idolater another.

Our scholars, who cannot even distinguish these, say there is abrogation in the Quran, Allah forbid. Habib-i Kibriya, (?) Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), about him, with the verse that says he does not speak in vain, if He does not let a servant He created speak in vain, if Allah Almighty contradicted one of His words with another word, wouldn't He have spoken in vain? That's one. If He made one word He created, one word He spoke, do this to the other, and then realized it was not good and granted the next one a right in a higher, milder way, wouldn't He have done wrong to the others? They don't even know what abrogation is.

Allah Almighty: do not marry idolaters, polytheists, He says. Pay attention. Allah Almighty: do not marry polytheists. Who is a polytheist? An idolater. Because they call you to the Fire, He says.

You may marry from the People of the Book, He says. Aha! Allah Almighty abrogates this verse with this one. Oh poor man, look: if you are of a capacity unable to grasp these verses and yet, in the capacity of a scholar, at a certain place you sit with your label,

if you mix up these verses of Allah and turn people to (?), tomorrow in Allah's presence you'll bear the burden, His punishment you'll suffer. You'll have wronged your own nafs. One is the polytheist, the idolater. Do not marry these, says Allah Almighty. The other is the People of the Book. That is, the unbelievers. You may marry them. Now, the unbeliever is one thing, the idolater another. The unbeliever believes in Allah, but besides that, of Mary or Ezra, I mean David, or else Jesus, he says they are sons of Allah. And he calls Mary His wife. And he knows the Book, too, of the one who came from Him.

Because he is moderate. Moderate. You may marry from these, He says. But the idolater is not moderate. The idolater recognizes neither Allah, nor Book, nor Messenger. That's the idolater. He worships idols. Now, with what reason do you put the idolater and the People of the Book together, so that this verse is (?) by that verse?

Yes. Once upon a time, if you mix the Qurans with the old books: Allah Almighty invaded the Throne, it says. We said: for the love of Allah, I said, Allah Almighty, with what He created, did He not create it under His rule? Did what He created oppose Him, did He make war with the Throne, (?), and invade the Throne? We tried to explain. The Throne encompasses this universe; when it says Arşullah, that is, Allah's Throne, all this, from the atom to the sphere, whatever has been created; something that means Allah's creations, how can you say He invaded the Throne? Later on, praise be to Allah, they heard: He made istiva from the Throne.

Aha, that's it. And He made istiva from the Throne. That is, Allah Almighty, who is free of time and space, from beings that with time and space are free, separated Himself. That is, He used the attribute Hayy: the Living. Giving life to all beings, yet free from beings. Not in need of them. Just as he says, ah my brothers, doesn't he? His heart burns over what these people did to this state. My heart too burns at these people hanging superstitions on this Quran like this; over them I sigh, but, even though they know, even though they see the truth, it is impossible that they budge from their places.

I always, to people, to those scholars, call out. Always Allah Almighty says: enjoin what is right.

If you are a scholar, and I am explaining it wrongly, your duty is not to sit there and take money. (?), the one who turns away from you; not turning away, turning his face to you, and the person who comes to you: brother, I am explaining these things, but am I wrong or right? I want to be a servant to Allah and of the community of His Beloved. If I am wrong, bring me to the right path; if, despite our saying this, he turns his back and, seeing the truth, turns his back on the truth, we will have done our duty of enjoining what is right. In the Holy Quran there are more than 504 wrongly rendered verses.

They have ascribed attributes to Allah.

Brother, he says, the Arabic comes like this: Allah, he says, a person's, well, kufr He increases, he says. Well, look, let me read it to you, he says. There are witnesses. He reads; in the end: Allah increases no one's kufr. That person casts himself into his kufr, it says. He slaps his forehead. Oh, is it footnoted, he says; had you said so, fine. And brother, does this have a footnote? It does. This is Allah. How can you ascribe such attributes to Allah? Everyone's desire and wish has become destiny for his own intent. How do you pin this destiny on Allah Almighty? How do you say Allah steers a person by removing his will from over him?

How do you say Allah increases a person's kufr? In that case, aren't you accusing Allah? If He increases my kufr, what does Allah want from me? If He tells me go kill a man, I am carrying out His command. Am I the one committing a crime? Well, in that case, what does Allah want from me? Doesn't your mind work on this? You sit there in the capacity of the scholar of a certain place. Yes. Ah, we say; we too, our chest is burning, our chest. Yes.

Thus they will have shown ingratitude in return for the blessings Allah offered them, those who follow the taghuts. Who is this taghut? He has appeared in our time. Two-legged.

As one of our children told Adnan in Germany: you, he says, must surely be one of those who know me; in his dream he sees Fethullah. You, he says, must be one of those who know me; he grabs him by the throat. I, he says, almost, he says, made Satan prostrate to me, he says. And I, he says, don't respond to him at all. So that you learn yourself well, he says.

Those who follow the taghuts, and these taghuts, their peoples, what it calls the abode of destruction: perishing in the world, and in the hereafter dragged to the torment of Hell; have you not seen, it says. Have you not seen these taghuts dragging them to the torment of Hell? O community! Listen well. Do not follow the two-legged taghut. These are more satanic than Satan, and at least Satan cannot be seen. He whispers temptation to you. This one is in front of you. Tomorrow in Hell, in Hell, Allah Almighty reports your conversations exactly. What does He say? While in the world we followed you, ran after you; now, will you be able to take part of the punishment from us, it says.

Do not fall into the state of the people these verses describe. I am calling out to the community, the community. Do not fall into the state of the people these verses describe. We are one ummah, we are one nation, we are brothers, we are Muslims, (?) wake up; if they put you to sleep, from your sleep wake up. Tomorrow in the Supreme Court, when the soul reaches the throat and the moment all doors of repentance are closed, when Reality appears before you, once more: look, send me back, see how I will worship You; according to the verse saying this; were We to send you back not once but several more times, you would do the same again; according to the verse saying this, do not make the eternal Hell abode your dwelling.

Yes.

Some may get angry with me.

They may get angry. Everyone has a destiny they gave to Allah. Besides this, we'll mention some others too. The Selamet Party.

Going door to door. Door to door it's doing "give it to Tayyip and let it burn". This is just that. You, how are you a right-winger?

Even if my brother were in the right, even if from him I had something to collect, even if I had something to collect, even if I had laid a nice trap for him, even if I were going to beat him, if he faces an attack from outside, I stand by that brother of mine back to back, together with him. Back to back. The matter between him and me is separate. Against the enemy it is separate.

O my nation! Today we have been deceived among ourselves. There are our own brothers who are enemies to us.

Wake up! Wake up! Let us wake up.

Yes.

We read this verse once more. Have you not seen those who repay Allah's blessing with ingratitude and in the end drag their people to the abode of destruction? Isn't it beautiful? Right at the core of the lesson. Right at the core of the lesson. Yes.

Allah Almighty offers people His blessings in every respect. People, however, are ungrateful toward Allah Almighty. They do not see the blessings He gives as given by Allah. (?), they worship idols that Allah created and that they shaped with their hands, and from them they ask. Thus they will have shown ingratitude toward the blessings Allah offered them. Those who follow the taghuts, and these taghuts, their peoples: in the world He calls the abode of destruction, their perishing, and in the hereafter dragging them to the torment of Hell; have they not seen?
