Translation

Allah cannot be questioned for what Allah does, but they will be questioned.

Tafsir

Allah is not held accountable for what He does. Just because Allah is imperfect like humans and acts as He pleases and oppresses humans or His creatures with His actions, it does not mean that Allah is not held accountable for His regret of being imperfect or His enjoyment of being oppressive because He is the Creator.

Allah is free from imperfect attributes. Allah does not intend injustice to anyone. Since every soul will be held to account for what it has earned, Allah will judge between His creatures as the judge of judges. No one will be able to bring Allah (swt) to account by accusing Him. In this respect, Allah is not held responsible for what He does because of His attribute of Godhood, because He is complete and perfect, free from deficiency and error, free from all imperfect attributes.

But Allah's creatures and human beings are responsible to Allah (swt). The Creator holds His creatures accountable to Himself for the life and sustenance He has bestowed upon them.

What is said in the video

Allah is not questioned about what He does, but Allah Almighty is not unjust, to wrong people and then say: I do as I please. What is Allah Almighty? Complete and perfect. What does that mean? Toward His creatures without flaw and without error, and at the same time toward His creations compassionate and merciful. What does He say? My mercy has encompassed the universe. Yes. So, since people are created deficient, a matter one has found right by one's own reason is in fact wrong. You cannot attribute a wrong to Allah. Allah has, after all, the attribute of being God. No one will be able to question Him.

Is the reason that Allah, wronging us and putting pressure on us, will say: you cannot question Me? No. All that we have done will come before us, and that we are guilty will be seen there. After that we will bow our necks before Allah Almighty.

Yes. So Allah cannot be held accountable for what He does. But they will be questioned. All beings Allah created will be questioned.

Animals too? Yes. They have no tongue, no language. The horned animal will take revenge on the hornless, the hornless on the horned, it will settle its score there. That too is a reckoning. Yes. All of this with justice; everyone will get their due. Then the animals will vanish. Except the first created ones. They will enter Paradise. The first created ones.

But Hodja, as matter they could not enter there, could they? Since these have no spirit, how will they enter? Just as the jinn have no spirit, Allah Almighty will create these too in that way, as beings of light. Of light, without spirit, into Paradise He will bring them. What is the reason?

There is a secret to the first created ones. This falls into the secret of the secret. With those created ones, since they were created in the first creation, an event comes about. In the face of that event, by Allah Almighty's promise and His true word, they enter Paradise.

I am a witness to one of them. But I cannot possibly say.

Well, the Hodja won't tell anyway, he is making it up. My word, Allah is witness. If you know the (?), then know it.

We cannot say that. Allah is not held accountable for what He does. But they will be questioned.

This much I can tell you. To what He has created do not object.

In the end you will enter Paradise anyway.

I tell it that too. I speak with it as well. It is not a human, though. A (?) creature. I know the creature. But there is no need for me to say. I cannot say more. Allah is not held accountable for what He does. But they will be questioned. Allah Almighty is not held accountable for what He does. It does not mean that Allah, deficient like people, acting as He pleases, with His actions wrongs people or His creations, and, committing faults, with regret, or taking pleasure in wronging, is not called to account because He is the Creator; that is not what it means. Allah is far above deficient attributes.

Allah wills injustice for no one. Since every soul will be called to account for what it has earned, Allah, among His creations, will judge as the Judge of judges. And no one will be able to accuse Allah Almighty and call Him to account. In this respect, since Allah, by His attribute of being God, is complete and perfect, and free of deficiency, error and all imperfect attributes, Allah is not held accountable for what He does. But Allah's creations and people are accountable to Allah Almighty. (?), in return for the life and provision He granted to His creations, has held His creations accountable to Himself.

Yes.
