(Oh My Messenger!) Did you not see the blasphemers who are together with the devil (shaytan) who drives them (to rebellion)?
Tafsir
When people who rebel against Allah (swt) disbelieve in Allah (swt) and the Hereafter, when they dislike the paths of guidance that Allah (swt) has shown them, the devils give them temptations to lead them further astray and to rebel against Allah (swt). For those who deny Allah and the Hereafter, the temptations of Satan are pleasing to their ego, so they satisfy their ego in pride and arrogance.
Such people have betrayed Allah (swt) in the first place in the address (Elestu bi Rabbikum), leaving Allah (swt) who created them and expecting an imaginary Allah, and have written their will as their destiny. Such people are born as disbelievers, live as disbelievers and pass on to the Hereafter as disbelievers.
In one of his hadiths, the Prophet (s.a.w.) says, "When a child is in the womb, it is clear whether he is a shaki or a muttaqi". The fact that this is so is evident from the covenant that people made with Allah (swt) when they were in the state of spirits in the address (Elestu bi Rabbikum). This covenant has become his destiny. Allah (swt) is free from imperfect attributes. Having made a covenant with each and every human being by revealing His Essence to them in the Hereafter, Allah has sent them to the realm of the unseen. In a realm where His Essence is veiled, man should not say, "If you had sent me to a realm where Your Essence is invisible, see how I would worship You." Only so that man would not say this, Allah created the realm of property and sent people to this realm to be witnesses to Allah and to themselves in the Hereafter, in return for their covenant with Allah.
We said above that people who disbelieve in Allah come to this world as disbelievers, live as disbelievers and leave as disbelievers, whereas every human being comes to this world with the Islamic nature. This Islamic nature is contrary to the theology we have said above. If we distinguish between these two. Allah (swt) made a covenant with our souls in the beginning, not with our bodies. The covenant He made before man came to the realm of property was written in his destiny. This cannot be changed.
In the first sense, coming into the world of property on the Islamic nature, Allah has given man a body. The human body is completely obedient to the soul. Human bodies are the mounts of the souls. If a person wants to commit suicide, the body will not say no, and if a person goes to worship, the body will not say no. So whatever the soul's will is, the bodies are completely obedient to the soul. Since the realm of property is also a realm of the unseen, since Allah (swt) addresses all human beings with His Verses in this unseen realm, and since all bodies are created the same, all bodies obey the spirits and are of the Islamic nature.
In the second sense, coming upon the nature of Islam means that all human beings in the guise of a body in a realm of the unseen are servants created by Allah, and He sends Prophets and Books to people to make His Essence known. In the Hereafter, people are reminded of their promises and are asked to be servants of Allah and to continue their worship and obedience to Allah. Each human being then lives according to the covenant he or she has made, according to his or her character and nature, and either becomes a servant of Allah or becomes a disbeliever, denying Allah and the Hereafter, as in the Hereafter. He passes on to the Hereafter as a disbeliever. In the Hereafter, the human being will fulfill whatever covenant he has made with Allah. He makes himself a witness to the world and to Allah and passes on to the hereafter.
What is said in the video
Here in Surah Maryam there is a verse that is explained wrongly. Let's see how it has explained it wrongly here. Let's take a look at Surah Maryam.
What does verse 83 say? This one says: My Messenger, have you not seen that We sent upon the disbelievers the devils that drive them thoroughly into rebelliousness? How nice. Allah Almighty sends them upon the disbelievers so that they drive them thoroughly into rebelliousness. Then what does Allah want from these disbelievers?
Like this. Now, if we ask: is Allah capable of everything? Yes. Is Allah free from all deficient attributes? Yes. Does Allah Almighty judge with justice? Yes. Does Allah discriminate among His servants? No. No. Well then, in this case Allah Almighty does not discriminate among His servants. If He says no, if He sends devils to the disbelievers, is He not committing injustice here? And because they rebel, Allah, being their enemy, puts them into Hell. Is that so? Yet its meaning is (?). My Messenger, have you not seen the disbelievers being with the devils that drive them thoroughly into rebelliousness?
Yes. Yes. Partial free will is in man's hands.
Since people who rebel against Allah Almighty deny Allah and the hereafter, when, disliking the paths of guidance Allah Almighty has shown people, they abandon them, the devils, to drag these people further into misguidance and make them rebel against Allah, give them temptations.
Since the temptations Satan gives to those who deny Allah and the hereafter are pleasing to their nafs, they satisfy their nafs in pride and arrogance. Indeed, it was due to that pride and arrogance that at the Elestü bi-Rabbiküm address they rebelled against Allah Almighty.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) says in the (?) hadiths that while the child is in its mother's womb, it is already clear whether it is wretched or God-fearing.
When he said this, the Companions said: if it is clear whether he is wretched or God-fearing, why should we worship? And the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: it is not as you understand it, he said. For the wretched, the ways of the wretched are made easy. And for the God-fearing, the ways of the God-fearing are made easy. That is, according to each person's (?), Allah Almighty creates causes for them. And by acting on those causes they earn reward and sin. Yes. That this is so is evident from the covenants that people, earlier at the Elestü bi-Rabbiküm address, while in the state of spirits, gave to Allah Almighty.
This covenant has become his destiny. Allah Almighty is free from deficient attributes. Allah, who showed His essence to people in the realm of the hereafter and made a covenant with each person, sent people to the realm of the unseen. So that in a realm where His essence is veiled, man would not say: if You had sent me to a realm where Your essence is not seen, look how I would have worshipped You. So it is only so that man would not say these words that Allah created the material realm and, in return for the covenant people gave to Allah Almighty in the hereafter, so that they would take their surroundings, Allah and themselves as witnesses to themselves, He sent them to this realm.
Yes.
Now, earlier, even earlier, we had mentioned Surah Al-Qasas, verse 47, this one we mentioned: lest people say, "If You had sent me to a realm where Your essence is not seen, look how I would have worshipped You." And also Surah Ta-Ha, verse 134, those verses. I will not read them. Because I have explained them to you several times, many times.
Yes. So it is only so that man would not say these words that Allah created the material realm and, in return for the covenant people gave to Allah Almighty in the hereafter, so that they would take their surroundings, Allah and themselves as witnesses, He sent them to this realm. Above we said that people who deny Allah come to this realm as disbelievers, live as disbelievers and leave as disbelievers. Yet every person comes to this realm upon the fitrah of Islam. The word we said above contradicts his coming upon this fitrah of Islam.
If we are to distinguish between the two, Allah Almighty earlier made a covenant not with our bodies but with our spirits. Isn't that so? Allah Almighty created our bodies later. After creating the worlds, after creating the angels, He created our body. He created the body of Adam (peace be upon him). He made the angels prostrate. Satan included. When Satan did not prostrate, he was cursed. So our spirits were created earlier, at the Elestü bi-Rabbiküm address. Neither the angels know about this, nor Satan. Yes.
Allah Almighty earlier made a covenant not with our bodies but with our spirits. The covenant a person gave before coming to the material realm was written for him as destiny. It is not possible for it to change.
As for his coming to the material realm upon the fitrah of Islam: in the first sense, Allah has given man a body. The human body is completely obedient to its spirit. Human bodies are the mounts of the spirits. If a person wants to commit suicide, the body does not say, I won't go. Likewise, if a person goes to worship, the body again does not say, I won't go. That is, whatever the spirit wants, the bodies are completely obedient to the spirit. (?) when you come into My presence with a (?), We will, it says, bind your feet, hold your mouths, make your arms speak, it says. That is, the body will stand facing our spirit and bear witness about our spirit.
When he says, "Why are you speaking against me?", it says, "Allah, who makes me speak, makes me speak," it says. So it will bear witness about us. Even if you went down to the seventh depth of the earth, it says, even if you hid in the remotest corners, it says, even if you entered strong fortresses, We would still find you there. The body too will bear witness about us there. There is no escape in the body. Wherever you go.
Since He addresses all people through His verses, that is, since in the material realm there is an unseen realm, since Allah Almighty addresses all people through His verses in this unseen realm, and since all bodies were created the same, all bodies, by obeying the spirits, are upon the fitrah of Islam. Yes. The second point, then, is coming upon the fitrah of Islam. In an unseen realm, in the body's (?), since all people are the servants Allah created, so that His essence may be known, He sends people prophets and books. As people are reminded of the promises they gave in the realm of the hereafter and are asked to be servants of Allah and, by obeying Allah, to continue their devotions and acts of worship, people are upon the fitrah of Islam.
Then each person, living his own character and nature according to the covenant he gave, either becomes a servant of Allah or, as in the realm of the hereafter, denying Allah and the hereafter, becomes a disbeliever. And they pass on to the hereafter as disbelievers. So man comes upon whatever covenant he gave to Allah in the realm of the hereafter; himself, he takes his surroundings and Allah as witnesses, makes them witness, and passes on to the hereafter. Yes.
Here, in the second sense, coming upon the fitrah of Islam: in an unseen realm, in the body's (?), since all people are the servants Allah created, He sends people prophets and books so that His essence may be known. We put a full stop here. The meaning here: the realm of the hereafter was closed. To us, none of us here... do you know the realm of the hereafter, have you seen it? No. You have not seen it. Did you see in this realm that you made a covenant with Allah Almighty? But truly, you did make a covenant. I am a witness. Allah exists. Believe me or not. I also know my covenant. I also know the Elestü bi-Rabbiküm address.
Now, in this case, why did we come to this realm? So He started us from zero; in an unseen realm He made His essence known. He makes it known. And this is coming upon the fitrah of Islam. So, in an unseen realm, in the body's (?), since all people are the servants Allah created, so that His essence may be known He sends prophets and books to people. As people are reminded of the promises they gave in the realm of the hereafter, and they are asked to be servants of Allah and, by obeying Allah, to continue with devotions and acts of worship, people are upon the fitrah of Islam. What does it say? (?), it says, look.
We made a covenant. You do not know about it, but, it says, in this realm. You have to believe Me, it says. So believe now. Because you were created. You have reason, it says. This order, this system and regularity, did it really come about by itself? it says. Right? In this case, the person chooses his path according to his covenant there.
Yes.
