Translation

And (while this is the case) they leave Allah and worship things that can neither benefit, nor harm them. And the denier keeps struggling against Allah.

Tafsir

In the face of such miracles, those who disbelieve in Allah make idols and worship them by carving the materials created by Allah with their hands and giving them shapes. People who think they are wise thus worship and serve these idols, even though they know that these idols are in no position to do them any good or harm.

In this case, those who disbelieve in Allah are always struggling against Allah's commandments. Since the beginning of the world, the disbelievers have been trying to remove Allah's commandment from the earth, taking sides against Allah and against those who fulfill Allah's commands, sometimes with violence. In the midst of these endeavors, they realize that their life is over and they have been subjected to the punishment of Allah.

On the other hand, in the world, the same events take place, the disbeliever continues his disbelief, and on the other side, the servants of Allah and the believers in Allah continue their struggle against them. This concludes with both sides moving on to the Hereafter, with the disbelieving unbelievers purchasing torment in Hell and the obedient people enjoying eternal peace in Paradise.

Allah responds to these people with a verse (do they (the disbelieving unbelievers) think that they can extinguish the light of Allah with the blowing of their mouths, Allah will complete His light until the Day of Judgment). Allah (swt) has programmed these worlds and these worlds will unfold within this program until the end. The disbelievers will buy the torment of Hell by continuing in their disbelief, while the obedient people will be included in Paradise by the mercy of Allah. Allah warns people with His Verses so that they will not be subjected to torment.

What is said in the video

We have come to Surah Al-Furqan, verse 55. Even so, the deniers abandon Allah and serve things that can give them neither benefit nor harm. And the denier keeps striving against his Lord, it says. Now Allah Almighty, in the verse, as we always say, says: Do you not use your reason at all? Do you never reflect? Reason is a great blessing to man, and although He gave man reason, man, caught up in the feelings of the nafs, overpowers his reason. When he goes the way his nafs likes, he falls into madness and misery.

Allah Almighty says in the verse: We do not intend injustice to the worlds.

You make an idol with your hand. From what Allah created, you make an idol with your hand. You toil at it. Then you serve it. Bring it food. Go and pray to it. Expect things from it. And spend your time serving it. Now look at the beauty of Islam. Our Lord, the Creator who created the worlds: "Serve Me," He does not say. He does not say: work and give to Me too. Hodja, why do we worship? By Allah, we do it for ourselves. In worship there is both the outward and the inward. Outwardly, the body needs movement. Look, we eat, we are fasting. The Prophet set, as his noble sunnah, twenty rakats, the witr wajib.

I said witr wajib. He set the tarawih prayer. We do twenty rakats. Down and up, down and up. Oh, our stomach digests. We feel relief.

Today, to melt the fat in the groin and the belly, people do exactly the movements of the prayer. Allah Almighty has you do them in the prayer. For yourselves, outwardly. And also, because you did what I said, He says, for doing what I said, for worshipping Me, He gives you reward. And in the hereafter He reserves a place for you. So you also get the return for what you did. You get the return for worship too. He prepares a place for you in the highest paradise. At the same time He feeds you, gives you drink, lays all blessings before you. When you are with your Lord, all difficulties you overcome with patience. And Allah, behind you, for you removes the iron (?) that seem insurmountable from your path and opens doors from an unknown direction.

You find relief. So then, look at the Muslim's consultation with his Lord. And the unbeliever: toiling with his hand, making an idol, that which has no power over anything, of no benefit to itself, nor able to benefit others, material that Allah created, serving it, and after that, against Allah Almighty, the One who created you, look at him striving. He struggles with this too.

Surah Al-Furqan, verse 55, sir. Even so, even so, the deniers abandon Allah and serve things that can give them neither benefit nor harm. And the denier keeps striving against his Lord, it says.

In the face of so many miracles, those who deny Allah, carving the materials Allah created with their hands, giving them shapes, make idols and worship them. People who think themselves clever, although they know that these idols are in no position to bring them any benefit or any harm, serve them and wait upon them.

So those who deny Allah, against Allah's commands, keep striving. Since the world was founded, the deniers, striving against Allah and taking a stand against those who carry out Allah's commands, as the case may be using violence, try to remove Allah's command from the earth. Amid these struggles, they suddenly see that life is over, and with their passing to the hereafter they are left (?) to Allah's punishment. Meanwhile, in the world, the same events keep appearing, denial goes on, and on the other side those who are servants of Allah and believe in Allah continue their struggle against them.

So, with both sides passing to the hereafter, as the denying unbelievers buy punishment in hell, and the obedient people eternal peace in paradise gain, what they did is brought to a close. So Allah answers these people with this verse.

He answers with a verse. Do they, the denying unbelievers, think that by blowing with their mouths they can put out Allah's light? Allah will complete His light until the Day of Judgment. Allah Almighty has programmed these worlds, and these worlds will unfold within this program until the end. While saying this verse, let me remind you of this. Do the denying unbelievers think that by blowing with their mouths they will put out Allah's light? Allah will complete His light until the Day of Judgment. About this, it says it is not a verse. Who says this? The Diyanet says it. The Diyanet. It says it is not a verse.

By its own reasoning it says this: By its own reasoning, of course. Because it does not understand the Quran, the verses. Allah completed His light in the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him). So, are more verses going to come, that He will complete it until the Day of Judgment? Well, Allah completed His light in the time of the Prophet, but those who today want to do away with this religion and, with these (?), turn religion into anarchy, well, this verse of Allah: they... Allah will complete His light until the Day of Judgment. What is this? Until the Day of Judgment, whatever they may want, Allah will complete His light.

Why? Because Allah does not call anyone to account for something He has not made known. Well, Allah's light was completed in the time of the Prophet. If it had stayed in that time, until this day, of this verse, I mean of these verses, you could not even find (?). (?). Which verse does this verse support? You say, by your own reasoning, that it is not a verse. This verse: We sent down the Quran, and We are its guardian until the Day of Judgment, it says, until the Day of Judgment. Neither is a single letter of it damaged nor is damage done, it says. In that case, if Allah Almighty is its guardian until the Day of Judgment, will He not, keeping His light steady like this until the Day of Judgment, complete it?

If He had not completed it, some Muslims would have judged by the Quran's (?), and others by a quarter, by three quarters, by two quarters. Whereas whatever the sharia ruling was from the Prophet's time, until the Day of Judgment it remains the sharia ruling.

Allah will complete His light until the Day of Judgment. Who? Through His scholars. Will the scholars bring verses? God forbid. The scholars will remove the superstitions that have entered the religion. Like the superstitions the Diyanet brought into the religion.

And the ones it keeps silent about.

What is that superstition? That Allah supposedly does not guide the people of unbelievers. Today, aren't there people like this from among the unbelievers who find guidance?

So, as long as that people of unbelievers remains in that state, they cannot reach Allah's guidance.

That Allah supposedly puts whom He wills into paradise and whom He wills into hell. Where did you hide verse 34 of Surah Ta-Ha? You wouldn't understand what that is anyway. If you knew, you would not still be claiming in this way that Allah does not put whom He wills into paradise, whom He wills into hell. In that case, if you remove partial will from man and apply Allah's will over man, why would Allah Almighty then put people into hell? Allah makes man do what He wills. And that person does what Allah wills. Why would Allah then put him into hell?

Do you never think? You have occupied that position. With that power, deeming yourself worthy of the office, against people who in this way open up the Quran, you follow your whims, chasing fame and glory, without breaking your pride and arrogance, and on top of that you oppose Allah's verses and try to spread superstition over the truth.

We gave the example of it in court too.

And shamelessly they put the verses we wrote into the 2016 edition. For many of them, they put them in the 2016 edition. They both oppose it and put it in there. We are not after gain from this. My reward belongs to Allah alone. To Allah. Come, learn the truth, tell people the truth, so that tomorrow at the supreme court, Eleysallahu bi ahkemi'l-hâkimîn, before the Judge of judges, your reckoning goes easily. Yes, and about this verse it says this is not the meaning of the verse: Allah Almighty has programmed these worlds, and these worlds will unfold within this program until the end. The deniers, by persisting in their denial, will buy the punishment of hell.

Obedient people, attaining Allah's mercy, will enter His paradise. So Allah, so as not to leave people (?) to punishment, with His verses warns people. Yes.
