Translation
Do not be inclined towards the oppressors, or fire will touch you (you will burn in hell). Do not have real friends other than Allah. Or you might not see help (from Allah).
Tafsir
Do not incline towards those who are cruel to their own souls, those who do not believe in Allah and His Messenger, those who have lust for Allah's creatures, those who deify matter and worship it, and those who travel in the earth in splendor. Do not be deceived by their ways and disobey the laws of Allah. Do not deviate from the right path for the sake of worldly goods. Then the Fire will touch you. You will be a sinner and you will be exposed to fire in hell.
A Muslim has no friend except Allah. A Muslim is a person who has given his heart to Allah and has become a confidant with Him. They know that their Lord sees them in everything they do and they fear Allah's presence. They expect Allah to help them in everything they do. The meaning here is that a Muslim who is ruled by Allah's commands, as long as he does what Allah says, has no secret affairs, knows that Allah is aware of his every situation, and is with Allah. Allah is the helper of such a person. He is his walking foot, his holding hand, his speaking tongue. Allah is with this person. This is a person who has taken their Lord as their guardian, appointed Him as their deputy and leaned on Allah. These are the friends. Although Allah knows everyone's secrets, this person knows in his heart that I am with Allah and that He is my deputy and my guardian. Allah knows my every situation. He does not deviate from His command.
If they incline to those who oppress them, they will not be helped by Allah, as long as they turn away from the right path and leave Allah's commands behind them, even in fear.
What is said in the video
Surah Hud, verse 113: Do not incline toward those who do wrong, or the Fire will touch you. And in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 24, the verse, it would probably be better if we read it. whose fuel is people and stones: guard yourselves against the fire of Hell, for that fire has been prepared for the unbelievers, for the unbelievers it has been prepared. So do not be with those who do wrong, that is, do not incline toward those who do wrong. Who are these wrongdoers? Those who wrong their own nafs and rebel against Allah, who do not acknowledge Allah and His Messenger, who do not care about the Hereafter, that is, the unbelievers; toward the fire prepared for the unbelievers do not, envying them, go over to their state, it says.
Do not incline toward those who do wrong. Then the Fire will touch you, it says.
You will burn in Hell. You have no friends other than Allah. Then you will receive no help from Him. We have no friend other than Allah. Well, if we have no friend other than Allah, in this world do we have no friends at all? Those who say "Allah", those who say "Allah", those who are Muslim, are the friends of the Muslim. Because they are with Allah. And those who are with Allah are brothers. If there is a Muslim at one end of the world, it says, they are brothers. Of one another. They are brothers. So at the oppression done to Islam, all our hearts bleed. All of us. So, then, the friend of Islam is Islam.
Islam has no friend other than its own friend. The non-Muslim is not a friend of Islam. And of the interest lobbies, of political affairs, of people's cultural thinking, of ideological divisions, of worldly greed, of people who deify their nafs and worship it, who commit crimes in this world, who tomorrow, in the Hereafter, will be thrown into the Fire: those who envy their state, are with them, and turn their back on their Muslim brothers, their fate in the Hereafter is to burn in the Fire. Therefore, (?), Islam is the friend of Islam. No people other than Islam is a friend of Islam. One must know this as such.
If there is a friend of Islam among that people, then surely he is, among them, a hidden Muslim. Yes.
Do not incline toward those who do wrong, or the Fire will touch you. You will burn in Hell. You have no friends other than Allah. Then you will receive no help from Him either. Yes.
People who are wrongful against their own nafs, those who do not believe in Allah and the Prophet, who (?) toward what Allah has created, who deify matter and worship it, to those who worship those who go about the earth (?), to those who go about the earth (?), do not incline. Do not let their state deceive you into going against Allah's laws. Do not leave the right path to obtain worldly wealth. Then the Fire will touch you. You become sinners and end up subject to the fire in Hell. The Muslim, the Muslim has no friend other than Allah. A Muslim is a person who has given his heart to Allah and become His confidant.
In everything they do, they know that their Lord sees them, and they fear the presence of Allah. In everything they will do, they are people who expect help from Allah. The meaning here is: the Muslim who is bound by Allah's commands, as long as he does what Allah says, having no (?) affair, he in this case is one who knows that Allah is aware of all his states, one who is with Allah: such a person. Allah is the helper of such a person. He becomes the walking foot, the holding hand, the speaking tongue of such people. Allah is with these very people. In these people: Hasbünallahu ve ni'me'l-vekîl, ni'me'l-mevlâ ve ni'me'n-nasîr.
They have taken their Lord as guardian, appointed Him as their trustee, and relied on Allah: such people they are. These are the friends. Although Allah knows everyone's secret, this person knows from the heart: I am with Allah and He is my trustee and my guardian. Allah knows my every state; he does not step outside His command. If one inclines toward those who wrong themselves, Muslims too, leaving the right path and casting Allah's commands behind them, even if fearfully, as long as they do so, will receive no help from Allah.
