Tafsir
Allah (swt) does not hold anyone to account for what He has not made known to people. In this respect, Allah (swt) sent the Holy Qur'an with the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) so that people would not be subjected to torment.
The Qur'an warns people; it is the glad tidings of Paradise and the fear of Hell.
It is for people to attain salvation by purifying themselves from the idols that they associate with Allah and that there is no God but Allah.
Allah (swt) has sent the Holy Qur'an to mankind and the worlds as a source of light and guidance so that every wise person may take counsel. The Verses sent by Allah (swt), telling people about the news of the unseen and giving them various examples.
Allah's declaration that He is the Before, the After, the Ahead and the West.
That He abides with His Essence with the attribute Hu, and that He is neither begotten nor begetted,
He declares that He gives life to His creatures with His attribute of life.
Allah (swt) sent the Holy Qur'an as a revelation to mankind and the worlds so that people would realize these points and turn to Allah.
Whoever turns away from the Qur'an, from the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and from Allah, then they will be like people who have wasted their souls and have bought the life of eternal hell. Whoever obeys this call, follows Allah, the Qur'an and the path shown by the Prophet (PBUH), obeys, fears Allah, knows Allah as the Owner of the One and only God, believes that the resurrection after death is true, that he will be held accountable on the Day of Judgment in the presence of the Almighty, and works to earn Allah's pleasure while in this world, such people will be the ones who attain salvation and will inherit the heavens, the abode of eternal bliss.
What is said in the video
Surah Ibrahim, verse 52:
Here, this Quran: that they may be warned by it. How beautiful. It doesn't mean the Muslims, mind you, some of our hodjas who don't know themselves, our hodjas, from the pulpit, say the Quran came to the Muslims. If the Quran came to the Muslim, then the Gospel came to the Christian; (?), let there be interfaith dialogue then, yes. The Quran came to the worlds, to the worlds. And the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not come to the Muslims either; to the worlds the Prophet came, to the worlds, yes. Here, this Quran: that they may be warned by it, that they may know that Allah is only one God, and that those of understanding may think deeply and take heed, it is a message sent to mankind.
How beautiful. That people may take heed. That is, what is it? Man, it says, should turn to himself. Who am I?
How was I created? Where did I come from? My mother, my father, my father's father, my father's father; there will be an end to that too. That too will have a creator. I am equipped with a knowledge. Did I come into the world unattended? He will ask himself this.
Once, I had a dream. A dream. I had gone somewhere, in a city outside the cities, at a hotel I'm going to have a room reserved for myself; that hotel clerk has two or three more people beside him, all official people, people of rank, and beside that clerk sits a personage as well. "Where have you come from, where are you going?" he says.
And I'm listening anyway. I say: my ears are a bit hard of hearing. "Could you repeat that once more?" I said.
"Where have you come from?" I said. "Where are you going?" "By Allah, we came from the Truth," I said. "From there we came, there we will go," I said. "They are inside, inside," he said. "Go inside," he said. "Allah and His Messenger are inside." I won't tell what happened after that.
Yes.
Man will think: where did I come from, where will I go? I have an owner. Just as my mother and father raised me, and the one who raised them, and the one who raised him, comes to an end, and if there is someone who created him, and if that Creator has told us how we were created since Adam, if in the Holy Quran, since the wet and the dry are in it, He tells us all of it, so that they think and take heed, it is a message sent to mankind, it says. Since in the meanings or the words of this verse called the Quran there is no word that would contradict another, that this is not a human fabrication Allah Almighty indeed proves with His verse too. If this were a human fabrication, many words not agreeing with one another you would find in it, it says.
Yes.
Allah Almighty does not call anyone to account for a thing He has not made known to people. Is that so? This is the verse. For a thing We have not made known, We call no one to account. Therefore, so that people too do not incur punishment, Allah Almighty, through the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad (peace be upon him), has sent the Holy Quran.
So that they do not incur punishment, out of His mercy, out of His mercy.
It is the warning of people by the Quran, giving them good tidings of Paradise, making them fear Hell.
That there is no god other than Allah, it is so that people, cleansed of the idols they set up as partners to Allah, attain salvation.
All people of understanding, so that they think deeply and take heed, as a source of light and guidance for people, Allah Almighty has sent His Holy Quran to people and to the worlds.
That with the verses Allah Almighty sent, news of the unseen is spoken of, that various examples are given to people, that it tells that Allah is the First, the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden, that with this attribute, with His Essence, He is self-subsisting, that He neither begets nor is begotten, and that with the attribute Hay He gives life to what He created; this it tells. So that people, grasping these points, turn to Allah, Allah Almighty has made His Holy Quran a message to people and to the worlds and sent it.
I'm not opening these parts up. We explain them openly anyway.
Yes.
After this, who? From the Quran. From the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad (peace be upon him). and if they turn their faces away from Allah, these will be people who have harmed their own souls and bought eternal life in Hell; that is the state they fall into. Yes.
And whoever heeds this call, enters the path shown by Allah, the Quran and the Prophet (peace be upon him), obeys, fears Allah, knows Allah, the One besides whom there is no god, as his owner, and believes that resurrection after death is true, that is, that on the Day of Judgement in the divine presence he will be called to account, and while in the world works to earn Allah's pleasure, such people attain salvation, and of the Gardens, the abode of eternal bliss, they become heirs.
Yes.
