Translation

And thus, Swear by your Lord, We will certainly gather them with the devil (Shaytan) (on the Day of Judgment). Then, We will keep them ready around hell while they will be on their knees.

Tafsir

Against those who do not believe in the resurrection after death, and who deny the Hereafter and Allah, Allah swears by His Essence that We will surely gather such people together with the devils in the Judgment.

In this Verse, Allah (swears by His Essence) that the Hereafter and the resurrection after death are true. Because Allah has proved His existence in the above verses, and He has informed every intelligent person about Himself in a way that leaves no room for denial, by bringing all kinds of examples and parables.

Therefore, if people follow the devil or submit to the taghut and turn their backs on Allah, by deifying their ego or by succumbing to the temptation of the devil, or if they follow the devil or submit to the taghut and turn their backs on Allah, Allah will gather them together with the devils in the Judgment.

Satan is a creature cursed for rebelling against Allah in the first place. He is a creature who has accepted hell in advance. Allah (swt) says that we will gather such rebellious people together with the devils in the Judgment; this means that these people will be eternal hellbent like the devil.

Then Allah will make them ready around Hell on their knees. The time promised by divine command has come. In the Hereafter, people have gathered at the Judgment and the time of accountability to Allah has come. Every human being now realizes that what Allah has promised is true. Those who are aware of Allah's existence but do not obey Him, who are subject to their nafs and Satan, who bow down to the taghut, how well they realize what they have done. They also realize that there is no salvation. They realize that their evil deeds will not go unpunished. Therefore, they will be made to fall on their knees like the people of the world who were taken captive and made to kneel on their knees. They will be made to stand around Hell ready to be reckoned with.

If you could see these people in this state, in the face of the horrible noise and violence of hell, in a state that boggles the mind, looking around with eyes full of fear, looking for a helper and a savior to help them. Even in this situation, they still do not recognize the God who created them, and they are looking for the God of their imagination. They are waiting for the Allah of their imagination to save them in the hope of salvation. In this state, they will spend eternity in hell.

What is said in the video

Surah Maryam, verse 68: So by your Lord, We will surely gather them together with the devils at the place of gathering. Oh, how beautiful. O man! In the world, where you thought yourself aimless and free, in that worldly realm, when you lived by your nafs, you turned your back on your Lord, forgot Him, denied the hereafter, the blessings your Lord gave you ate, you were ungrateful to Him. Did you think you were without responsibility? With His verse that says: every soul will taste death, your return is to Me — in the end, when we return to Allah Almighty, see, He says, together with the devils, around hell We will gather them. These verses, see, because people cannot grasp them, they build a bridge over hell.

Scoundrels. Where did you get the bridge from? Where did this bridge come from?

Yes. So, by your Lord.

I swear We will surely gather them together with the devils at the place of gathering. Then We will keep them, kneeling, present around hell, it says. We will keep them present around hell. Pay attention!

You who pass yourself off as a scholar, the Sirat bridge inventor, posing as a scholar yet ignorant of the verses — pay attention to this verse. Look what it says. Then We will keep them, kneeling, present around hell. From where? We will surely gather them together with the devils at the place of gathering, it says. At the place of gathering. What is the place of gathering? Do you know the place of gathering? Yes. That much you know, of course. That much you know. a place where people spring up from the ground as if bursting out; that is, the heavens another heaven. On the earth, it says, when the earth is another earth, when the world, flat, is brought there, it says, when it is brought, and when people, it says, are gathered from there, from the earth — no dodging with Israfil.

What does this mean? You will be gathered at the place of gathering together with Israfil. And what does it say? Let me read the verse again, maybe you'll come to your senses. Those poor people who pass themselves off as scholars. That bridge — maybe they'll finally do away with the bridge.

I swear We will surely gather them together with the devils at the place of gathering, it says. You invent this and drop the bridge into the (?) of hell, the verse that says: today no soul shall be wronged at all, everyone will be given in full what he earned, the return of his own two hands — where did you hide that verse, that you dropped this one into hell? Without questioning and interrogation — then you made Allah Almighty's verse be denied; after that injustice you brought him before your Lord. Woe to you, woe to you — to those who say there is a bridge of hell. yes (?) so by your Lord, We will surely gather them together with the devils at the place of gathering; then We will keep them, kneeling, around hell present. Why? The supreme court has been set up, their accounts will be settled, and when they realize they will go to hell, their eyes, it says, will pop out like sky blue, they will throw themselves face down on the ground; We, it says, will summon the Zabaniya, seize them by the forelocks — by forelock He means here, the nape — and have them thrown in through the gate of hell, it says.

So they haven't seen hell yet; they're coming from around hell. Those who put people inside hell, and there make the Prophet (peace be upon him) pass through, who invent non-burning fires, invent caves, invent hooks on the bridge — poor people, huh? poor people yes How else should I say it? (?) everything, a verse is clear. The verses are clear. These people have done their doctorates. What kind of doctorate this is.

Against those who don't believe in resurrection after death, who deny the hereafter and Allah, Allah Almighty, swearing by His Essence, declares: I swear We will surely gather such people, that is, people who rebel against His Essence, together with the devils at the place of gathering.

Yes.

In this verse too, that the hereafter and resurrection after death are true, Allah Almighty makes known by swearing by His Essence. Because Allah has proven His existence in the verses above, and to every person of reason, leaving no room for denial about His Essence, bringing every kind of example and comparison, He has made it known.

So, against Allah, who so soundly and with such roots, to every human mind proves that His Essence exists and that He is the absolute power and ruler of the universe, if people, deifying their nafs or falling for Satan's temptation, follow Satan or submit to Taghut — who is Taghut? Two-legged people who oppress — if they turn their backs on Allah, then Allah will gather these together with the devils at the place of gathering. Satan is a being cursed because he rebelled against Allah before. He has accepted hell in advance, that is, accepted hell in advance — a creature. Allah Almighty telling us that He will gather such rebellious people with the devils at the place of gathering shows that these people too, like Satan, are destined for hell forever.

Destined for hell forever. Moreover, although He created man capable, although He gave a part of His Essence and made him honored above the worlds, they do not use their reason, becoming Satan's buffoon and plaything, the poor people (?), who oppress humanity by Satan's command — taghuts. Yes.

Then Allah will keep these, kneeling, around hell, present. The time He promised for the divine command has come. In the world of the hereafter, people are gathered at the place of gathering; the time to give account to Allah has come. Now every person has grasped that what Allah promised is true. See, those aware of Allah's existence yet not obeying Allah, who follow their nafs and Satan and submit to taghut — they will grasp very well what they did, they will understand. Where? On the Day of Resurrection. On that day of gathering.

They will understand that resurrection after death is true. After death.

That they themselves were a machine of oppression they will also understand.

But these poor people, who cannot escape the pursuit of their carnal feelings, still — someone will save them. The Lord of their imagination they await will come and save them. And on the Judge of judges, our Lord, he will take revenge. See, when Allah Almighty says in His verse, if only they knew Me here — that is, it's not possible for them to know. Why does He say "if only"? Because He left them free in their will. He wrote their wishes and desires as their destiny and engraved those characters into them. Those characters will never change again. See, when He says if only they knew Me, if only they knew Me.

That is, when He says if only they weren't people of hell — how abundant Allah Almighty's mercy and compassion are. But alongside His justice, alongside Allah Almighty's justice, since He will not treat those who obey Allah and those who don't the same, Allah Almighty will give these the punishment due. They will also understand there is no more salvation. They will grasp that the evils they did will not go unpunished. For this reason, like people in the world taken captive and forced to their knees, they are made to kneel on the ground. Around hell, they are kept waiting, ready to give account.

See, while these people are in this state, before the terrible roar and fury of hell, in a state that takes a person's mind away — these people, with fear-filled eyes, looking around them, searching for a helper and a savior to rescue them — if only you could see it. How do you know, Hodja? My Lord makes me live it.

Anyway, the verses speak of its terrible roar. If you live them, you'll grasp them. Yes.

Just as you don't know the middle prayer, you can't know this either. If you know the middle prayer, you'll know this. If in the middle prayer you know you're praying in your Lord's presence, if you knew it, you wouldn't tie the middle prayer to one of the five daily prayers. Every prayer is the middle prayer, if you can perform it. See, if you can grasp these verses too, you'll live them there. Yes. Even in His presence, still not knowing Allah who created them, they are searching for the Allah of their imagination. In hope of salvation, they wait for the Allah of their imagination to save them.

In this state too, they are destined for hell forever.
