Hud 109: Thus, do not be in doubt about (the fact that) what they are worshipping (will bring them to punishment). (This is) because they are worshipping just as their fathers had been worshipping before them. We will give their share (of punishment) completely.

Translation

Thus, do not be in doubt about (the fact that) what they are worshipping (will bring them to punishment). (This is) because they are worshipping just as their fathers had been worshipping before them. We will give their share (of punishment) completely.

Tafsir

O Habibim! The things they worship are idols, animals, the sun, the stars, the devil, and many other things created by Allah that we do not know. These things which they worship will surely lead them to torment. For although they know and have heard of Allah, out of pride and arrogance they worship what they have invented among themselves and what their souls like, leaving Allah behind. In this situation they turn their backs on Allah.

(They worship as their fathers worshipped before). These people, with their egoistic feelings and rebelliousness against Allah, do not want to understand the truth, even though they hear the truth. Because the word of truth does not suit them. He cannot compromise with what his nafs likes. Therefore, he cannot go beyond his covenant. That is why they can never turn to Allah by worshipping as their fathers worshipped.

O human being! If you are doing something, make sure that it is sound and not fabricated. Do not waste your time and regret what you have done. Do not become a sinner by wasting your time with fabricated objects that you worship as religion. Be with Allah, the One who created them, so that you may receive Allah's mercy.

Those who turn their faces away from Allah and worship inanimate objects made with their hands, which people have invented as religion, which they associate as partners to Allah, and which they have made with their hands, and who turn their faces away from Allah, Allah will recompense them for what they have earned, in the fullness of torment.

What is said in the video

In verse 109 of Surah Hud Allah Almighty says: “So have no doubt about the things they worship, that these things lead them to punishment.” “The things they worship.” The blessings Allah Almighty created, His servants — for trees, plants, all of them are servants Allah Almighty created, sustenance for people. If a person worships what Allah created as Allah, as a god — well, what does He say to them? “Have no doubt that these things lead them to punishment. For they worship only as their fathers worshipped before.” They worship as their fathers worshipped. That is, “We saw our fathers on this path.” Now we say, “from what our fathers or our ancestors worshipped”.

“Do you want to turn us to a single god?” it says. Yes. “We will surely give them their share of punishment in full,” it says. Of course, according to the verses “Fe men ya'mel miskale zerratin hayran yerah. Ve men ya'mel miskale zerratin şerran yerah.”, surely, in full, Allah Almighty, “Eleysallahu bi ahkemi'l-hâkimîn”, as the Judge of judges, will give them their punishment, of course, in full. Allah intends no injustice to any of His creatures; every soul wrongs itself. Verse 109 of Surah Hud: Allah Almighty in His verse decrees thus. “So the things they worship” — it goes on. What are the things they worship?

sir, idols,

“have no doubt that these things will lead them to punishment.” That is, have no doubt that these idols they worship will lead them to punishment. Why? Because the One who created the worlds is the One, that God (?) Allah. Allah created the worlds, our Lord created them. Well, in this case, Allah's created servants, which own nothing at all, some matter that is not even aware of itself — if you make them idols, that is, make them something to be worshipped, and associate partners with Allah, surely Allah Almighty will increase your punishment, of course. With what? Your punishment according to the sins you committed — however many sins you committed, He will gather them and in return for them leave you exposed to punishment.

“For they worship only as their fathers worshipped before.” You know, “We found our ancestors on this path,” it says. “Now will you turn us back from the idols our ancestors worshipped?” they say. That is, “Shall we believe in that one Allah of yours?” they say. “We will surely give them their share of punishment in full,” it says. So His saying “We will give it in full” means Allah Almighty, gathering every burden of sin they committed — as many sins as they have, that much. Allah Almighty will give their punishment in full.

Yes.

This world is a transient guesthouse. Every soul shall taste death. And according to the verse where He says “and your return is to Me”, all living beings — or let me put it this way, humans and jinn — will return to Allah Almighty, will make the return. And finally at the great court, on that Day of Reckoning, by Allah Almighty, who is “Eleysallahu bi ahkemi'l- hâkimîn”, they will be called to account. People who care about the splendid (?) of this transitory worldly realm, tomorrow at the great court, when they see that punishment, their saying “alas” and their regret will be of no use. Because he has returned to a realm that has no (?) again.

That is, now the place in the realm of the true residence — with the selfish feelings he had in the world or with his good deeds and kindnesses — their places in the realm of the Hereafter Allah Almighty will determine, and according to the actual deeds they committed, either for punishment or to be favored with mercy, He will send them to their places. Yes.

“O My Beloved! The things they worship” — by “things” are meant idols, animals, the sun, the stars, and those who worship Satan, those who worship many objects of Allah's creation that we do not yet know. Those (?) also worship fire. Yes. Because although they know and hear of Allah, out of arrogance and pride, leaving Allah, they worship what they invented among themselves, what their selves like. If they had not known Allah, probably — if they had not known that there is a being who created them, probably they would not worship these. That much. People who are aware of Allah Almighty's existence will not be able to say “I had no knowledge of You”.

Because if you had no knowledge, how did you worship this tree, this idol, this star, this sun, this moon, this Satan, fire? Why did you worship them?

yes they worship as their fathers worshipped before they too were worshipping idols; you know, as we said a moment ago, “Are you trying to turn us from the idols our fathers worshipped?” and, you know, “Your Allah, does He speak now?” they would say, and among themselves too, “Look,” they would say, “Muhammad's Allah speaks,” mocking. Yes. Whereas a person with reason — those who worship these lifeless objects among the beings Allah created, these creatures that have no harm or benefit even to themselves, (?) creatures, prove how helpless and wretched a state they are in.

These people, with their selfish feelings and their rebelliousness against Allah, despite hearing the truth, do not want to understand the truth. Because the word of truth does not suit them. Why does it not suit them? Because the people who, in the address “Elestü bi Rabbiküm”, when they made the covenant with Allah Almighty, denied Allah, who had their destiny written that way — when they hear Allah's word — our Lord in His verse decrees about them thus: They come to the state in which the clouds in the sky would burst, it says; to the state of the (?) in the sky about to burst, they come. They are that resentful. That is, they come to a state of bursting from within.

They come to a state from within.

He cannot give up what his self likes. Therefore he cannot step outside his covenant. This is why, worshipping as their fathers worshipped, they can never turn to Allah. Yes.

Because they are people who had their destinies written on the same covenant, on the same mindset.

And here we call out to people. O man! If you are doing a work, make sure that work is sound and not made up. Do not suffer regret for having wasted your time on what you did. Do not become sinful by wasting time with made-up objects you worship as religion. Be with that One Allah who created them, so that you may attain Allah's mercy. So, on such selfish and satanic paths, those who worship what people invented as religion, the partners they associate with Allah, lifeless objects they made with their own hands, those who turn their faces away from Allah — Allah will give them in full, in punishment, the recompense of what they earned.

(?). Yes.
