If Allah had desired, Allah would have made all of you a single nation. But those who wish from Allah go astray and those who wish from Allah go to the straight path. And you will be held accountable for the things you are doing.
Tafsir
If Allah (swt) had willed, He would have created us as a single Ummah. In other words, He would have programmed us to be obedient to Him and we could not deviate from His program. Allah has such servants. For example, he would have created us, like the angels and other created beings, as a single nation for the work we are to do.
However, the human being is the most distinguished creature that Allah (swt) has created and that He has made an interlocutor to His Essence by giving him His soul. Therefore, by leaving people free in their own will, He has willed that His Essence should be known through their own will.
People who have their will in their hands can either turn away from their Lord or follow the path shown by Allah and find life and salvation.
(You will definitely be asked about what you have done) According to the verse (Fe men ya'mel miskâle zerratin fan yerah. And man ya'mel miskâla zerratin sharran yerah), they will be held to account for the smallest iota of good and evil they have done.
What is said in the video
Surah An-Nahl, verse 93. A verse that is explained wrongly. First let us read the wrong interpretation, if you please, then let us read the right one. If Allah had willed, He would have made you all one single community. True, Allah Almighty (?) everything. Just as He created the angels the way He wished, just as He programmed the animals the way He wished, us too, the way He wished, He would have programmed. Is that so? Yes. But He leads astray whom He wills. Allah Allah. Allah leads astray what He created. Just look at that. He leads astray whom He wills, apparently. How can they attribute such a quality to Allah Almighty?
I can't understand it. So Allah will lead astray whom He wills. (?) sent us to this world. Then He shouldn't send us, that is. He would settle our account right there. And He guides whom He wills to the right path. Wasn't Allah supposed not to discriminate among His servants? Wasn't Allah Almighty supposed to be just?
The Prophet (peace be upon him) says it too. Who is called unjust? A father who discriminates among his children is unjust too, he says. If a human being equipped with feelings of the nafs, a person who has not reached maturity, becomes unjust when he discriminates among his children, how can Allah, who is free of any deficient attribute, discriminate among His servants? I don't expect people of sound mind to say okay to this. I mean, I don't expect a word saying fine to this. You will surely be held responsible for what you do. Now, for a person of sound mind, do these things they say, the sentences made of these words, hold together?
He will lead astray whom He wills. He will guide whom He wills to the right path. You will surely be called to account for what you do. Whatever I do, Allah makes me do it. Then He calls me to account. Here, the first wronged one: Allah is calling Himself to account. The second wronged one: Allah, with whomever He wills, uses (?) as He wishes. (?) that person, with what he did, let's say with what He made him do, He pushes into the class of wrongdoers. Can Allah be like this? Allah is not this anyway. I don't believe in the Allah they believe in this way. I don't believe in the Allah they believe in.
Because they wrote it this way, in the Allah that corresponds to what they wrote I do not believe. And, given what they wrote this way, that these people believe in Allah I don't believe either.
Yes. The Allah I know is not unjust. The Allah I know is just. The Allah I know never discriminates among His servants. Yes. The Allah I know has left the human being free in his own will; that with the partial will he exercises, through his actual deeds, a person earns reward and sin, and that an atom's weight of good and an atom's weight of evil will be written for him, He has made known, and here Allah Almighty has expected from people the duty of servanthood. That is, He left the will to the human being. He said He would call people to account for the deeds they actually do. In that case, if Allah will put whom He wills into Paradise and whom He wills into Hell, if He led astray whom He willed, if He did not lead astray whom He willed but guided them to the right path, then I too would now say to you: O people, look, Allah loves me very much.
Look, He guided me to the right path as He willed. Then look, (?) to you.
Now I'd call this the right path, wouldn't I? (?). I look like I'm on the right path. And let those who went astray come out and say: O people, Allah made me go astray, what does He want from me?
Is he right or wrong? May Allah (?) them, and those who write it this way, by giving them good perception and understanding, grant them to see the truth. They do see the truth; with feelings of the nafs, moving away from the truth, they turn their backs on Allah. Rank and position, fame and glory have clouded their eyes. These will no longer be with the truth; they are people who live with feelings of the nafs and will also face Allah's punishment in the hereafter. Yes.
If you go as an unbeliever, you will suffer punishment in eternal Hell. As for these, only their faith will save them from Hell, but they will also see its punishment. In that case, if a thousand years here are like one day of the hereafter, the punishment you will suffer there: a whim of the nafs that you live out here within hours is not worth it. It's not worth it. Because you live your life here within hours. So a person must be bound by Allah's command and be obedient, submitting to Allah's command.
You see the errors; of course people who build their foundations on errors and superstitions do not want to be with the truth. Especially in our time. In this case, when we speak the truth, these poor people who see that they are finished, instead of turning to the truth, instead of repenting and asking forgiveness, and instead of gaining knowledge in seeing the truth by a very short path, with feelings of the nafs, taking Satan as their guide, choose to move away from the truth. In that case they never embrace the true books that have been written. Yes. I talk this much.
And I insult people who (?) in this way. I insult them. So that maybe they will come to their senses and become Muslim. With all this, are there no scholars in Turkey or in the world to stand up against us?
Don't you have any scholar among you at all? Is there no one among the people who will say, what are you talking about? Among the Muslims.
Does no one come forward and say, you found a village without dogs and walk around without a stick?
Those who came forward got what they deserved, word by word, and each of them is looking for a corner to flee to. Each of them is looking for a corner to flee to. Blessed one, instead of fleeing (?), submit to Allah. Abide by what Allah says and give your life a direction. And win the hereafter too.
Yes. Yes, our dear daughter's computer broke down, so she is listening on the phone. Now verse 93 of Surah An-Nahl we read from here.
If Allah had willed, He would have made you all one single community.
But whoever wishes goes astray from it. Whoever wishes. And whoever wishes enters the right path. You will surely be held responsible for what you do. Look how beautiful. Whoever wishes will be held responsible for what he does. On the other side: Allah led astray whom He willed. He brought to the right path whom He willed. He will hold us responsible for what you have done. Just look at that. Look at these words, these words. Does it fit logic?
Yes. Does this statement fit into the human mind? And they write this here as a verse, (?).
(?)
Allah Almighty (?) would have created us too as one single community. That is, He would program us to be obedient to Him, and we could not step out of this program of His. He does have such servants, the noble angels; whatever He programmed them for, they carry out that program without ever deviating. Allah Almighty has such servants, we said. For example, like the angels and other created beings, (?) us too would create as one single community. But the human being is the most choice creation of Allah Almighty, to whom He gave of His spirit and whom He made His addressee, a being that is the noblest of creation.
So, by leaving people free in their own will, He willed that, through people's own will, His essence be known. The ownership of Allah Almighty's art of creation. Yes. So people, whose partial will (?), by their own wish and desire, if they want, turn their faces away from their Lord. If they want, by entering the path Allah has shown, they find life and attain salvation. You will surely be questioned about what you do. With this verse, all responsibility lies with the partial will in people's hands; on the paths they chose by their own wish and desire, whether good or bad, with all the deeds they have done, according to the verse Fe men ya'mel miskâle zerretin hayran yerah. Fe men ya'mel miskâle zerretin şerran yerah, they will be called to account for even the smallest atom's weight of good and evil they have done.
Yes. People, for the good deeds and kindnesses they did, for the actual deeds they did, for the judgments they gave by their own will, as long as they live, as long as the judgment is in a person's hands, for every judgment given, for every actual deed done, will be called to account. Yes.
