(Oh My Messenger!) See what kinds of examplers they make of you. They have gone astray, and they will not be able to find a path (as long as they are on that same manners).
Tafsir
The fact that they deny the Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and say that they are following a bewitched person, and that they call Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) a madman or a lunatic, shows that these people will never find the way to guidance again.
Since these people had disbelieved in Allah in the past, they dictated their own desires and wishes to themselves as their destiny. They continued to deny Allah and His Messenger by playing out the scenario of their disbelieving destiny in the realm of property. People like them will not find guidance as long as they disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger.
Once people see that they have written their destiny as disbelievers by denying Allah. And wherever they may be in the world, they will not be able to find a way to correct their fate of denying Allah, which they have written for themselves, and they will not be able to find the path of the everlasting Truth and reach the Truth.
In this respect, Allah the Almighty, addressing His Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), says, "Look what kind of an example they have brought about you, and those who bring this example, those who deny the Messenger of Allah, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), they have gone astray, that is, they have taken their place among those who have gone astray, in the middle of the straight path, by denying the Truth, by choosing oppression over guidance, darkness over light.
Allah (swt) has given such people many calamities in the temporary world, and has prepared for them Hell, the place of eternal torment, on the Day of Reckoning in the Hereafter. What an evil place of return.
What is said in the video
Yes, we are reading the wrong version of the ninth verse. They have explained a verse wrongly. Here in the verse, Allah Almighty's description they have rendered such that — Allah protect us — "My Messenger, look what kinds of comparisons they made about you," He says. "They have now gone astray and can find no way to guidance," He says. They have now gone astray. And they can find no way to guidance. Now, as human beings, from what Allah Almighty has made known to us in His verse, He says: "We did not create mankind free of error." Is that so? If they had committed errors, if they had not committed errors, He would destroy them and create servants who commit errors.
In this case a person errs, goes astray, shows hostility to religion, and if in the end he regrets it,
Allah would not accept his regret, is that it? Wasn't Allah At-Tawwab, the Accepter of Repentance? So what does it say here now? They have now gone astray and can find no way to guidance. That is: I will remove the Quran from before them too. I will remove their scholars, their learned men too. They can find no way to guidance. Let them struggle as much as they like. Doesn't it come to mean that? Whereas, look, the correct version is this.
"My Messenger, look what kinds of comparisons they made about you." This part is correct. "They have now gone astray, and as long as they remain in that state, no way to guidance can they find." As long as they remain in that state, they can find no way to guidance. If he leaves it, he finds it. If he wants to return, he returns. If he repents, he repents. Allah is At-Tawwab. He accepts their repentance. Yes. Isn't it so?
Their speaking against Allah's Prophet, denying the prophethood of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and saying "you (?) a bewitched man", and also calling the Prophet (peace be upon him) mad or possessed — this shows that these people can no longer find a way to guidance. Where? As long as they remain in that state. They can no longer find a way to guidance. If they leave it, of course they find it. Indeed, since these people had also denied Allah in the beginning, their own desires and wishes they had written for themselves as their destiny. If there was denial in the beginning, there is no returning for them anymore.
What are we saying? Indeed, since these people had also denied Allah in the beginning, their own desires and wishes they had written for themselves as their destiny. Playing out in the material world the script of the denying destiny they had written for themselves, they went on denying Allah and the Prophet. People like them, as long as they deny Allah and His Messenger, can find no way to guidance. What are we saying? Pay attention here. People like them, as long as they deny Allah and His Messenger — if they return, there is no problem — as long as they deny, they can find no way to guidance.
Let people just once, by denying Allah, have their own destiny written as deniers. Then, in this state, wherever in the world they may be, since they will find no way ever again to correct the Allah-denying destiny they had written for themselves, they cannot find the eternal path of truth and reach the Truth. Is this correct too? It is. Because no human being is able to change their destiny. The people who made a covenant with Allah Almighty at the address "Elestü bi-Rabbiküm" — that is, in our spirits Allah Almighty, who made the covenant, wrote our desire and wish, our intent, for us as our destiny.
And that these destinies will never change again, that the worlds are programmed on this basis — Allah Almighty informs us of this. According to His verse in which He says: "With Us is a book, preserved in the Preserved Tablet; nothing is afterwards added to it or taken from it", and also in another verse: "If We did not will, you could not will." So then Allah Almighty's willing, too, over the worlds — His saying with His own essence "from now on I too will not will" — where does He say this verse? "With Us is a book, preserved in the Preserved Tablet." "Nothing is afterwards added to it or taken from it" — what does His saying this mean?
"And on these worlds that have been programmed We will never again make any deficiency, and since We do not, Our willing has been lifted." Everyone, with the deeds they have done — after all souls have tasted death — according to His verse "Your return is to Me", He says: you will come into My presence. There you will give your account. Yes. So those who had Allah Almighty write their destiny as deniers — people's minds cannot grasp these things. Let's open it up a bit more. Does a person have their destiny written as a denier? Right. When Allah Almighty addressed people at the address "Elestü bi-Rabbiküm", He appeared exactly in human form, one-to-one in human form.
In the form of His Essence. Those who, out of their pride and arrogance, denied Allah Almighty, that is, because they denied our Lord who created them, waited for the Lord they had conceived in their imagination.
So they will not be able to see their Lord. Because there is no god other than Allah. Let them see Allah Almighty. Let them see a creator other than Him. In this case they denied Allah. Out of pride and arrogance. As in: "We, to a human… well, this one is like us too, who says he created me?" — and so the Lord of his imagination he waited for. So in this case his desires and wishes, his intentions became his destiny, and because he denied the Lord who created him, they have no (?) becoming Muslim ever again. It's impossible. Because the destinies have been written. Yes.
What are we saying? Let people just once, by denying Allah, have their own destiny written as deniers. Then, in this state, wherever in the world they may be, since they will find no way ever again to correct the Allah-denying destiny they had written for themselves, they cannot find the eternal path of truth and reach the Truth.
In this respect Allah Almighty, addressing Habib-i Kibriya, the (?) Prophet, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), says: "Look what kind of example they brought about you," and about those who brought this example — against Allah's Beloved, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), those who deny him — "they have now gone astray." That is, in the middle of the straight path, by denying the truth, desiring oppression instead of guidance and darkness instead of light, they have taken their place among the misguided — this is what He declares.
Just as Allah Almighty gives the people in this state many afflictions in the transient worldly realm — like what? "We give them three or two afflictions a year." Why? "So that perhaps," He says, "they return, remember Me, and turn in repentance to their Lord, their Creator." But, He says, where are they? "If only they had asked help from their Lord as they help one another," He says. What a fine thing, He says. Yes. That is, at the Resurrection, in the hereafter, on that Day of Reckoning, hell, the place of eternal punishment, He has prepared. What an evil place of return it is.
