We only send down angels with the Truth (and Justice). Then, (in that case) they will not be given time.
Tafsir
The Prophet (s.a.w.) is (vema erselnake illa rahmeten lil alemin). Since he came as a mercy to all the worlds, Allah (swt) will not fulfill the desires of the ignorant, for the sake of His Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.), He will never again cause destruction to people until the Day of Judgment. However, He will give two or three calamities a year so that people will come to their senses. If a people or a tribe asks Allah for a miracle, and Allah shows it to them, and after the miracle they go astray again and disbelieve in Allah, then Allah will destroy that people on earth. And in the Hereafter, hell, which is an evil place of return, will be their eternal abode.
Allah reminds them of this point and says: "We send down the angels with the truth. Then they will not be given respite. Since Allah (swt) knew that these people would not believe, since the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) was a mercy to the worlds, since Allah (swt) would not destroy people again, Allah (swt) did not take their request for angels into consideration. He did not send the angels because He was protecting them for the sake of His Messenger.
What is said in the video
We send down the angels only with the truth, He says. Then they are given no respite. Like what? As when Abraham came: we are going to the people of Noah, we are destroying them, as he said. There is no turning back again. The Prophet (peace be upon him) is ve mâ erselnâke illâ rahmeten li'l- âlemîn. Since he came as a mercy to all the worlds, and Allah Almighty, for the sake of the Beloved of the Most Majestic, the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad (peace be upon him), will never again until the Day of Judgment bring destruction upon people, He does not fulfil the wishes of those who do not know their place.
I underline this part. What are we saying? Let Him not fulfil the wishes of those who do not know their place. What does this mean? Is there anyone who will explain this?
We connect this here as a continuation of the words at the beginning of my talk. What are we saying? Let's read it once more. Since he came as a mercy to all the worlds, and Allah Almighty, for the sake of the Beloved of the Most Majestic, the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad (peace be upon him), will never again until the Day of Judgment bring destruction upon people, He does not fulfil the wishes of those who do not know their place. Is the Prophet (peace be upon him) alive? He is alive. Did he come as a mercy to the worlds? Then where he came as a mercy, there is no destruction. Pay close attention.
So, the words that those who do not know their place say like that — Allah Almighty does not take them into account and send down the angels. If they were to come down, they would not go back again. They would be destroyed.
It is all meaningful. Beautiful, that is. These words bind to one another. However, so that people come to their senses, Allah Almighty will give them two or three calamities a year. Two or three calamities. So that they come to their senses. If a community or a people asks Allah for a miracle, and Allah shows this miracle to people, and after this miracle people turn back to error again and deny Allah, then Allah destroys that people from the face of the earth.
Moreover, in the hereafter, Hell — what an evil place of return — will be their eternal abode. Now, I asked for a miracle. Like the people of Salih.
The yellow camel came out of the rock. You believed that Salih was a prophet. Then you denied Salih. That is, you cut the camel's legs. You killed the camel. So destruction became fard for you. A public case became wajib here. When I say this, people say the following. He ascribed attributes to Allah. He made it a public case.
I say to him: is this world the likeness and shadow of the hereafter? Its shadow. Are those who commit excessive crimes executed? Executed with their lives? They are. We see it that way today. Except for those who are innocent. I'm not saying it about the innocent. (?)
Traitors to the homeland. Those who divide the nation. Separatists. Now, in this situation, if a person does away with the miracle that Allah Almighty sent, he has made light of Allah. Allah is nobody's plaything. In this case, when what He sent is betrayed, destruction becomes fard for that people. Not wajib, it becomes fard. This is the public case. It is the continuation and confirmation of Allah Almighty's law. We should say application. Application.
Whatever Allah Almighty is in pre-eternity, He is that in eternity. However, for the sake of the Prophet (peace be upon him), since He sent him as a mercy to the worlds, mercy and then destruction — the two do not go together.
But He gives calamities. So that they come to their senses. Yes. So He does not fulfil the wishes of those who do not know their place. However, so that people come to their senses, He will give two or three calamities a year. If a community or a people asks Allah for a miracle and Allah shows this miracle to people, and after this miracle people turn back to error again and deny Allah, then Allah destroys that people from the face of the earth. Moreover, in the hereafter, Hell — what an evil place of return — will be their eternal abode.
So Allah, reminding of this point: We send down the angels with the truth. And then they are given no respite. Since Allah Almighty knows that these people will not believe, and since the Beloved of the Most Majestic, Muhammad (peace be upon him), came as a mercy to the worlds, and since Allah Almighty will not destroy people again, Allah Almighty did not take into account their demands to ask for angels in this way. Since He protects them for the sake of His Beloved, their angels have been sent.
That means man — for the sake of the Prophet who came as a mercy to the worlds (peace be upon him) — is not destroyed.
Mercy and destruction are not compatible. What is it like? Like Paradise and Hell being intertwined. Is that possible? It is not. Paradise is separate, Hell is separate. Could there be a flower of Hell in Paradise? It is impossible, that is. Likewise with mercy. That is, destruction does not stand together with it. It cannot be. Yes.
Here the verses support each other. The verse "I have made you alive" becomes manifest. How beautiful.
