And say; “I am surely, a plain warner!”
Tafsir
The Prophet (PBUH) came as a messenger of Allah's commands to people. His duty is to inform people of Allah's commands. Every human being has written his/her destiny in the Hereafter in proportion to the covenant he/she made with Allah (swt). These destinies will never change again. In this respect, since no one can change anyone's destiny, Allah (swt) said to His Messenger: O Messenger! Say, "Verily, I am a clear warner." Allah (swt) has sent human beings to an unseen realm. Allah does not leave His creatures alone in the realm of property. He sends Prophets, Books and scholars to remind them of Allah and the Hereafter. It is through these that He warns people and informs them of the good and the bad. Otherwise, no one, not even the Prophets, is able to change the destiny that Allah has given to mankind. Except Allah. And Allah is not able to change what He has written. He has set everything in order according to a principle and a program. Everything has been written down in the Book, which is preserved in Allah's sight on the Levh-i Mahfuz.
So the Prophets come to people to inform them of Allah's commands, to give them glad tidings of Paradise, to frighten them of Hell and to warn them.
What is said in the video
Say: Indeed, I am a clear warner. The Prophet (peace be upon him) came as one who conveys Allah's command to people; his duty is to make Allah's commands known to people. Every person, in the world of the hereafter, in proportion to the covenant they gave Allah Almighty, has had their own destiny written, and these destinies will never change again. Therefore, since no one can change anyone's destiny, Allah Almighty says to His Beloved: O My Beloved, say: Indeed, I am a clear warner. That is, that you are in no position to pressure anyone and turn them to your own view, tell them that. Since everyone will live their own destiny: O people, we are telling you Allah's commands. Whatever covenant you gave Allah, by that covenant you will complete your life, because you, as the actor, had your destiny written there as a script; in the world, as an actor, the script of that destiny you will play. In that case, no one may force his own view on anyone through pressure and compulsion.
Your religion is yours, mine is mine. Just so, so that we can prove what kind of person we are on this earth, everyone is free in their own thinking and their own life. With the decisions and judgments they made freely, with the deeds they did, with the rewards and sins they earned, what kind of person they are, they will prove to themselves. Yes.
So every person, in the world of the hereafter, in proportion to the covenant they gave Allah Almighty, has had their own destiny written. These destinies will never change again. Therefore, since no one can change anyone's destiny, Allah Almighty says to His Beloved: O My Beloved, say: Indeed, I am a clear warner. Allah Almighty has sent people to an unseen world. Allah Almighty does not leave His creatures alone in His great world. Why? He does not leave them. O Allah, You sent me to an unseen world. Here I don't know anything at all. Me, in the world of the hereafter, You closed the program off to me.
If You had made Yourself known to me here, if You had sent me a prophet, look how I would worship You, he says. Yes. Where's my phone, gentlemen? There. On top of the thing. Bring it.
Give it here. Look, what does it say here now?
Yes.
If, it says, before this, Surah Ta-Ha, verse 134, We had destroyed them with a punishment. I'll read it again. If We had destroyed them with a punishment before this, that is, before the Quran. Let me explain it to you up to here. We'll continue. Are the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel in the Quran? In the Quran. When He says "We, before the Quran": you, before sending you to the world, before sending you to the world, in that realm of lahut, when He said to you "I am your Lord", had We destroyed you then, you would surely have said this, He says. They would surely have said this: O Lord, if only You had sent us a messenger, so that before this humiliation and disgrace, before falling into this humiliation and disgrace, we had followed Your verses.
So, since there He created man like His own Self, He says: come on, you couldn't believe in Me. Now I will send you to the unseen world. I will send you to a world where My Self is not seen. There I will send you verses and prophets. I will send you scholars, I will send you books.
Let's see what you will say after that. In that case, with man's denial of Allah in the world, that is, on the Day of Judgment, before Allah Almighty, will he have anything left to say to Allah, will he? It is explicit in the verse. The verses are clear. Yes.
Just so, We have sent down the punishment upon those who divide the Quran into parts. We've read this part here, I think, haven't we?
Yes. He does not leave the worlds, His world alone. He does not leave it alone. We stopped here, this is where we left off. Why does He not leave it alone?
He sent you to an unseen world. In an unseen world, "if only You had sent me a prophet, a messenger, a scholar, a book", you won't be able to say that. And Allah Almighty says: I too say to you, for a thing I did not announce in the world, I will not call you to account, He says. Therefore Allah Almighty will make it known. To remind people of Allah and the hereafter, He sends prophets, books and scholars. With these He warns people and makes good and evil known to them.
Otherwise no one, prophets included, can change again what Allah has written for people. He has set everything in order according to a rule and within a program. With Allah, on the Preserved Tablet, in the preserved book, everything has been written down. So the prophets make Allah's commands known to people, give glad tidings of paradise, warn of hell; as warners they come. They come as warners, that is, as conveyors. O My Beloved, I sent you as a conveyor, He says.
Not so that you use force, He says. Not so that you use force. I sent you to convey. So mercy is from Me, He says. That is, if there is anyone who can change destinies, it is Me. But a word has gone forth from Us. What is it? Nothing will ever again be added to or changed in that book. What is written is written. Destinies were written. Scripts were written. Things are done, and the world was programmed according to them, and in this order, He says, it will run. If you do not will, if We do not will, you cannot will, He says. That is Our willing: if there is, He says, a might and power that can change the destinies of Our creatures, it is Me, He says.
But a word has indeed gone forth from Us. What is it? Paradise and hell. We will never again change anyone's destiny, He says. In this case, in this case, to the people who say "I am a scholar" I am calling out.
I repeat these words of mine. Let those scholars listen well. I am calling out to the people who say "I am a scholar". The judgment I will have given with my will: if Allah Almighty removes my will from me and uses His own will over me, and if someone says of this "Allah increases a person's kufr", fitting it to which verse did you say this? Based on which hadith did you say this? That you know nothing of the verses becomes clear from this, and since by saying it this way you slander Allah and His Messenger, prepare your place as given in this verse. Whoever slanders Allah and His Messenger, let him prepare his place in the fire, it says.
So I say it again, I address the scholars, I address the wrongdoers who say "I am a scholar". Know the verses well, do not attribute qualities to Allah, and against Allah's, against Allah do not utter slander. Allah does not increase anyone's kufr. Allah does not remove anyone's will from him and use His own will over that person. And on top of that they shamelessly say: whatever you do, don't go into these matters. Why? That's what they say: there's danger in these matters. In which verse is there danger? If you don't know the verses, of course there's danger there. Why? Because that danger will increase your kufr, and since you are bound by superstitions, you will prepare your place in hell with fire, and that danger, Satan will make it look sweet as honey to you, show it like a (?) store in a beautiful hell, and pull you into that fire.
Again I say to those scholars: do not attribute qualities to Allah. Allah does not remove anyone's will from him and use His own will over that person. Do you think you will die without proving what kind of person you are, according to the verse? The verdict: with the decisions people make, the deeds they do, the reward and sin they earn. In the verse He says: today no one (?). What everyone earned, as the recompense of their own (?), will be given to them in full, so it said, according to the verse. By what reasoning, shamelessly attributing qualities to Allah, do you take a person's will away, use Allah's will over that person, and his kufr increase?
And you write the translation that way too. Yes.
Isn't that so, Habibi? It is, Hodja.
