Translation
We have not sent any Messenger before you without revealing to the Messenger: “There is no deity other than Me (Allah), so, worship only Me.”
Tafsir
Allah (swt) sent human beings to the realm of property veiled from His Essence. Allah, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted. Those who turn away from Allah out of pride and arrogance will not be able to say on the Day of Reckoning, O Allah, if you had sent a messenger to introduce us to Allah while we were in the world. It is for this very reason that Allah has sent mankind to a realm where His Essence is invisible, so that people there may know His Essence through faith in the unseen.
In this respect, Allah, through all the Prophets He sent before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), addressed people and informed them that there is no other deity besides Allah; He made His existence known to people through the Prophets He sent publicly, and through miracles and the excesses of some tribes, He destroyed them, thus Allah made His existence known to people and proved it.
In this case, Allah has made it clear to mankind through His Prophets that there is no other deity besides Himself and that Allah is the only one worthy of worship, the only one and the absolute power. He is now publicly inviting people to His Presence by announcing it through the Prophet of Hatemen Nebi, the Servant of two worlds, Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w.).
What is said in the video
We have come to Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 25.
We sent no Messenger before you without revealing to him that there is no god but Me, so serve Me, He says.
That is, however many prophets were sent, whomever We sent, We conveyed only this to them: Say to My servants, that is, say to My creations: there is no god but Allah. Let them know this. And I am Allah's servant and messenger. Let them grasp this. That is: eşhedü en la ilahe illallah, if it is the people of that time, and eşhedü enne Musa Resulullah, or eşhedü enne la ilahe illallah ve eşhedü enne İsa Resulullah; in this case, since the Quran has come down, we will say eşhedü enne la ilahe illallah ve eşhedü enne Muhammeden abdühü ve Resulühü. What about the others? The others: when we say Muhammeden Resulullah, it has encompassed them all. How has it? From his spirit they had come; the peoples created from his spirit too, as long as they obeyed their prophets, were on the fitrah of Islam; with Allah Almighty there is one religion, and that is Islam, He says. İnne'd-dîne indallâhi'l-islâm.
They complement each other nicely. Yes. So He says, what does He say? We sent no Messenger before you without revealing to him that there is no god but Me, so serve Me.
To all the Messengers that were sent, I said the same word. And I am saying the same to you, He says. That is: obey Me, and obey also My messenger, My servant whom I sent. So how will your obedience to Me and to My servant be? If you are ruled by the sharia rulings in the Book I sent to My servant, you will both have recognized My servant, that is, My messenger, and have obeyed Me; through your knowing Me and serving Me, to those who deny Me We will show you as an example, He says.
And this word of mine corresponds to this verse.
The Prophet Muhammad: what will He show to the prophets? A witness. And I will make you witnesses over the other nations, He says. What will He say? Look, these, that is, the Muslims, knew Me.
They knew the world is a passing time. They knew death is real. They knew that (?) is real. They knew they would be called to account. They served Me. What did you do? You waited for the Lord of your own imagination. You denied Me. Today, in view of the worship these performed, in view of their recognizing Me, what did you do? You rebelled. For the provision We gave them, these gave thanks. What did you do? You credited it to yourselves. You did not thank Me. Today, He says, you will be divided into two parts. One, Paradise; the other, Hell. Paradise for those who obey, Hell for those who do not obey.
Yes.
Allah Almighty has sent people into the world of mulk, veiled from His Essence. Allah, who is far above deficient attributes, to mankind, whom He sent to a world where His Essence is not seen, has sent prophets to make His Essence known. People who, out of pride and arrogance, turned their faces away from Allah, on that Day of Reckoning O Allah, while we were in the world You should have sent us a messenger to make Your Essence known to us, they will not be able to say. Why will they not be able to say it? Because, He says, had We destroyed you before this Quran, you would surely have said, He says: You should have sent us a messenger, so that we might have obeyed what You said.
Here is the life of the world now, He says.
Yes.
In this respect, Allah, also before the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), by having all the prophets He sent address people, made known that there is no god other than Allah. He made His existence known to people, manifest (?) manifest, openly, through the prophets He sent, with miracles too; when some peoples went to excess, He destroyed them; and thus Allah made His existence known to people and proved it. Yes.
So, by proving His Essence to people openly, clearly and plainly, Allah has made known that there is no other god besides Him, that the only one worthy of worship is the one and absolute power, Allah; this He announced to people through His prophets. Now, through the Seal of the Prophets, the master of the two worlds, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), making it known, He invites people openly to Himself. Yes.
