Translation

Verily, Allah orders justice, goodness and helping the relatives and forbids lewdness, abomination and transgression. Allah gives you advice so that you will contemplate and follow (them).

Tafsir

Allah (swt) recommends three things and forbids three things for people to have life and peace.

First, he should rule with the justice of Allah and not tolerate injustice because he is my relative or close to me. Spread God's justice on earth.

Secondly, he should enjoin good and prevent evil. He should treat people with mercy and compassion.

Thirdly, it commands not to cut off relations with relatives and to help them if there are those among them who are poor and in need of help.

He forbids these three things.

Firstly, it forbids ugly deeds, i.e. fornication, homosexuality, livat, and touching the honor of others. They lead to corruption among people and the destruction of a nation.

Secondly, evil, i.e. people's arrogance and arrogance towards people, and their insulting and humiliating people, not respecting their rights and laws.

Thirdly, his transgression, i.e., such things as interest, unjust usurpation of people's property, under-weighing and under-measuring, and betrayal of trust.

If people pay attention to these, practice the first three, and avoid the other three, the life of a society will be peaceful and tranquil, with order and harmony.

What is said in the video

Surah An-Nahl, verse 90. Indeed, Allah commands justice, kindness, and helping relatives. And He forbids shameful deeds, evil and transgression. He admonishes you so that you may reflect and take heed. How beautifully Allah Almighty puts it: in a way befitting the dignity of people, to decency and good manners, to justice, to kindness to people, to relatives, to help, to keeping ties of kinship, He gives great importance. Accordingly, He also forbids evils and transgressions. He forbids them, because Allah Almighty has destroyed the people who overstepped Allah's limits. So, if Allah Almighty created the human being He made honorable as honorable above the worlds, He wants them to be very devoted to decency and good manners, to honor and dignity, to self-respect, and to morals and chastity, and to observe these.

Because the human, the human was created honorable above the worlds and was made the one addressed by Allah Almighty. If Allah Almighty had not forbidden transgressions and these evils, then Allah Almighty, in the same situation, Allah forbid, would like such people, and it would turn out that He Himself had such a trait; may Allah protect us from such a thought. Yes, for people to find life and live in peace, Allah Almighty proposes these three things to people. And He forbids people three things. First, one should judge with Allah's justice. One should not turn a blind eye to injustice because someone is my relative or close to me.

One should spread Allah's justice on earth. Yes, this too is a verse. Spread truth and justice on earth, it says. Second, one should command good and hold back from evil. One should treat people with mercy and compassion. Third, it commands not cutting ties with relatives and, if there are people destitute in their affairs and in need of help, helping them. And it prohibits these three things. First, shameful deeds, that is, adultery, (?), sodomy, and violating another's honor, it prohibits. These lead to corruption among people and to the destruction of a nation. Second, evil, that is, people being arrogant toward people, acting big, looking down on people and, without respecting their rights and law, tormenting and humiliating them.

Third, transgression, that is, things like usury, (?) people's property, (?), giving short weight and short measure, betraying a trust. If people pay attention to these, apply the first three and avoid the other three, then a society lives in order and harmony, in calm and peace. Yes.

If people observe these three prohibitions and the three beautiful qualities our Lord has made known to us, people will truly live in this world in a festive atmosphere.
