Translation

But We have sent it down as an advice for the muttaqi (the righteous).

Tafsir

But We have sent it down as an admonition for those who believe in Allah and the Hereafter, for those who seek Allah's pleasure and refrain from doing evil, and as an admonition and an admonition to show how believing people should behave and how to continue on the straight path.

People who do not believe in Allah and the Hereafter have already turned their backs on the Qur'an and Allah and are living their lives in this world without peace and hardship. When such people pass on to the Hereafter, they will be deprived of Allah's mercy, and when they are gathered before Allah, they will be subjected to Allah's torment without any helper or intercessor.

In this respect, the Qur'an is a counsel and an admonition to people. It is a guide in front of people to find Allah's pleasure.

What is said in the video

What does the third verse say? We sent it down as an admonition for those who fear. Wasn't the Quran sent down to the worlds? Here it says 'for those who fear' - there is a distinction.

Yes, the Quran was sent down to the worlds. It was sent down to the worlds, but although Allah Almighty created all our souls, although He says 'I created you', there the deniers - since they denied the Lord who created them, just as He says: (?) woe to them - likewise, although He sent the Quran to the worlds, saying: O people, the Quran, which shows you the paths of guidance, holds a light before you and brings you out of darkness into light, I send as a guide - despite His saying this, to those who turn their backs on the Quran what does Allah Almighty say? Only a guidance for those who fear Us, He says.

What does He say? We sent it down as an admonition for those who fear Us, He says. For those who fear. And the others? The others don't fear anyway. Since they don't fear, were He to say 'send down as much as you like', there would be a flaw in Allah's word. Now, the verses always complete one another, you see; look what it says here now - anyway, since people interpret the verses wrongly, wrong - on those wrong foundations they have always erected a building. Now let us read the seventeenth verse.

Their condition, that is, the hypocrites', it says, is the likeness of one kindling a fire on a dark night. Come on, can a hypocrite kindle a fire? Supposedly he kindles a fire on a dark night. A dark night is lit only by the light of Allah.

The hypocrite will kindle a fire. Listen. Now the errors come one after another here, look now. Their condition, the hypocrites', is the likeness of one kindling a fire on a dark night. When the fire lights up its surroundings - on the one hand the hypocrite kindles the fire. Why did he kindle it? Well, he kindled it so there would be light. And on the other hand, this time He puts the fire out. Now look, look at the matter. Does this make any sense at all? When the fire lit up its surroundings, Allah at once took away their light. Look how they attribute qualities to Allah. Wasn't it that Allah sent the Quran to the worlds?

Wasn't it that He made no distinction among people? So why would Allah put out their, well, their light? Why would He put out their fire? If He had put out their fire, why did He send us to the world? He would have settled our account there. He would have settled our account at the reckoning of Elestü bi Rabbiküm. Allah Almighty knew whether we were unbelievers or Muslims. But so that people would not say: O my Lord, had You sent me to a (?) world, I would have worshipped You there so beautifully - Allah, who is free of any deficient attribute, created the world solely for this. So then, O people, here is the challenge: take the Quran, take, well, a guide, take light and radiance, proof, He says - and despite His saying this, how do they characterize Allah?

He put out their light. Astonishing. And He leaves them in darkness, it says. Now I will read you the correct version of this verse, gentlemen. Since every person, with the good deeds and sins done by their own will, is to be called to account before Allah Almighty, and since He says: ve men ya'mel miskâle zerretin hayran yerah - (?) I will record his good - and ve men ya'mel miskâle zerretin şerran yerah - (?) I will record his evil - and per the verse saying: today, with no one being wronged, what each has earned, as the due of their own two hands, will be given to them in full - according to that verse, now this verse I explain. I explain this.

Their condition, the hypocrites', is the likeness of a fire burning on a dark night. The likeness of a fire burning on a dark night. Allah, that is, sends down His light. When the fire lights up its surroundings, those who put out the fire, those who put out the fire leave themselves in darkness; they no longer see.

All the verses support one another. Yes. You cannot attribute qualities to Allah. And you cannot (?) Him in your mind.

(?) in the verse, what do we say? In that first verse, in contrast to the ambiguous verses, the 10th verse, in Surah Al-Baqarah, goes like this. In their hearts is a disease. And Allah has increased their disease. Allah increases no one's disease. Do not attribute qualities to Allah. Whoever writes it this way, they themselves are the wrongdoers. These are the wrongdoers themselves. These are people like Hajjaj the tyrant. Yes.

And because of the lies they were telling, there is a painful punishment for them, it says. The correct version of this is as follows. In their hearts is the disease of hypocrisy and envy. Because of their lying, their disease has increased. By themselves. Because of their lying, they have increased their disease. For them there is a severe punishment. Yes.

Why are they silent before these verses? Because, although non-Muslims labored for centuries and (?) this in the Quran, to show the Quran as resting on foundations of superstition, and then to make Islam anarchy, the words they fabricated and wrote for centuries - when the truth comes and upon the falsehood we sprinkle the truth, their efforts will come to an end, so they fall silent. Why? If you are a Muslim. If you pursued knowledge for Allah. If you have reached a certain position for Allah. If you have seen the truth, how can you stay silent? Hajjaj the tyrant.

Yes.

But Allah Almighty says: the Quran, as an admonition for those who fear, We sent it down. For those who fear.

If you do not fear Allah, (?) occupy a certain office in opposition to the truth, and in this office meet the truth with silence, turn your back, and still carry on with superstition - if it pleases you that certain mindsets raised on these superstitions set up television and, with the same superstitions, tell people superstitions, then tomorrow at the Great Court, before Allah, what answer will you give?

Take note: Allah does not call anyone to account for a thing He has not made known.

I am making Allah's command known.

If I am on the wrong path, then you apply Allah's command to me. Tomorrow we will settle accounts at the Great Court.

Yes.

But We sent it down as an admonition for those who fear, He says. Only for those who believe in Allah and the Hereafter and, seeking Allah's pleasure, refrain from doing evil - let it be an admonition for them. To show how believing people should behave and how to continue on the straight path, We sent it down as counsel and as an admonition, He says. People who do not believe in Allah and the Hereafter have, anyway, on the Quran and on Allah turned their backs, and in this world, living both restless and in hardship, they fill out their lifetimes. When such people pass on to the Hereafter, deprived of Allah's mercy, when they are gathered before Allah, with neither a helper nor an intercessor, they will be subjected to Allah's punishment.

In this respect, the Quran is counsel and admonition for people. To find Allah's pleasure, they are a (?) before people.
