Ar-Ra'd 27: The blasphemers say; “Should a miracle not be sent down to the Messenger from Allah?” Say; “Verily, those who desire (to be misguided) are misguided, and those who turn towards Allah, attain guidance.”

He said: the twenty-seventh verse they also rendered wrongly. Let's read that one to you too. In twenty-seven: "Those who disbelieve say: Should not a miracle from his Lord have been sent down to him? Say: Surely Allah leads astray whom He wills." Oh, how nice. He led astray whom He willed. He discriminated among His servants. He led astray whom He willed. Look, a human being, being human, builds a robot and programs it. If he can't get it to run with that program, for days, for months, on that program he tries to get the robot working. Isn't that so? He doesn't want to waste the effort he has put in.

Leave this robot aside — if this human does this, would Allah, among His creation, lead astray whom He wills like this and create human beings for Hell?

But they say He creates them.

In Surah Al-A'raf, verse 179: Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Ve lekad zere'nâ li cehenneme kesîran mine'l-cinni ve'l-ins. Here: "Indeed, We created many of mankind and jinn for Hell," it says.

Read it. Here.

Yes, like this, like this — I don't know if you'll be able to read it; here I'm showing it, look, in red writing we've marked it. "Indeed, We have created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell." Well, if you render the verse like this, if you give Allah the attribute of a tyrant, Allah forbid,

if you have Him oppress His creatures and make (?) His pleasure and delight, the verse you render will be like this too. He will lead people astray to put them in Hell and take pleasure in burning them there. The correct version: "Indeed, We created Hell — Hell, look, Hell — for many of the jinn and mankind." What did He create? He created Hell, Hell. Why? As a prison for those who defy Allah. Just as in a state, if a citizen rebels against a law and goes against it, steps outside the law, defrauds, kills someone, steals, is thrown into prison — likewise Allah Almighty will put those who defy His command into Hell.

What else would He do? This world is the likeness and shadow of the hereafter. But He did not create human beings for Hell. He did not create jinn for it. Remember — people's own wish, what they desired, became their destiny? If you don't know these things, you'll say: what is this man talking about? To you I'm speaking bird language. Bird language. According to whom? According to those superstitions. Whereas I am speaking the very verses of Allah. I am speaking the very verses.

Yes.

Well — "Surely Allah leads astray whom He wills, and guides whoever turns to Him." Guides him.

"Those who disbelieve say: Should not a miracle from his Lord have been sent down to him?" Now I'm reading the correct version. "Well, surely whoever wishes it from Allah goes astray, and whoever turns to Him finds guidance." Finds guidance. It always lies with the person himself, look.

Why with himself? If Allah is to guide whom He wills, gentlemen —

or if He is to guide the one who wishes, the one who wishes —

Today, Israel (?) striking Palestine, many people there praying to Allah, right? They wish: my Allah, grant us guidance too.

Is Allah deaf? Never! Is Allah a tyrant? Never! So, according to everyone's destiny, in the way he wished, he will prove himself here. He does not interfere with man in any way. Allah does not interfere with man in any way. He interferes on one condition. A single condition. He intervenes in events that would fall outside one's destiny. Outside one's destiny. "You are protected by many beings not yet known" — that is what the verse corresponds to. Yes. If I were to step outside my destiny — a person lives sixty, seventy years. No event is produced outside one's destiny. That is what he is protected from. Protected from that.

Why does He protect you? "Did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you are?" According to that verse, we will prove ourselves. Ourselves. So He does not interfere with us in any way. The one who dies and the one who kills, whoever did whatever, will live according to his covenant. Everyone will defend himself in this world. Through the deeds he has done, his actions, he will earn reward and sin. Yes. Tomorrow at the Great Court He will show us: this was your state in the world. And we will be called to account along with what we have done. "What you have earned is the recompense of your own selves" — that is what the verse corresponds to.

Yes. Do my words contradict the verses?

Let's read the verse once more. "Those who disbelieve say: Should not a miracle from his Lord have been sent down to him?" Wasn't a miracle sent down? The splitting of the moon — he split the moon in two. The greatest miracle of the world, of the universe. Yes. "Say: Surely whoever wishes it from Allah goes astray, and whoever turns to Him finds guidance."

Let people once deny Allah — even if thousands of miracles appear before their eyes, they will still want to see a miracle. Of the miracles they see, they either say it's magic, or, to see another miracle, they invent another excuse. So, people — although the greatest miracle that came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) is the miracle of the Quran, to those who still seek miracles say: surely whoever wishes it from Allah goes astray — that is, if at Qalu Bala a person gave Allah an evil covenant, this person will never again return to Allah. He is already on a deviant path. But a person who gave Allah a good covenant, in his period of ignorance, even if on a deviant path, will return to his Lord when he hears the truth.

That is why there is amr bil-maruf, that is, conveying the truth. Now, "surely whoever wishes it from Allah goes astray" — that is, if at Qalu Bala a person gave Allah an evil covenant, this person will never again return to Allah. He supports that verse with this verse. We support our words here with this verse. Of the peoples He destroyed He says anyway: they were astray. They were not going to come to the right path. That is, they were deniers, He says. Anyway, for them. How does He know? From the time they gave their covenant. He knows what they all are. So they were not going to come to the path anyway, He says.

In the verse too.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) showed many miracles. Just as the greatest of these miracles is the Holy Quran, besides it there is the splitting of the moon, the event of the moon splitting in two. Also in the Battle of Tabuk, making water flow like a spring from his five fingers, he gave the soldiers water to drink. Mountains, stones, wolves and birds spoke with him. If a person gave Allah a good covenant, such people, on looking at these miracles, believe in Allah and His Messenger. And these people, using their own will, find the truth. To the one who wishes Paradise from Allah, Allah gives His Paradise; to the one who wishes His Hell from Allah, Allah gives His Hell.

Whoever wishes whatever from Allah, Allah gives him what lies within that person's destiny. Calling each to account for what he did, people will not be able to blame Allah.

So whoever turns to Allah, believes in Allah and the hereafter, has faith — Allah guides such people. He places His light in their hearts; with this light the person separates truth from falsehood and engages in deeds that will earn Allah's mercy. Surah An-Nur, verse 35, I think. Allâhu nûru's-semâvâti ve'l-ard, meselü nûrihî ke-mişkâtin fîhâ misbâh, el-misbâhu fî zü câceh — in that verse, yes, let's see.

Yes. 35. Surah An-Nur, verse 35. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Allâhu nûru's-semâvâti ve'l-ard, meselü nûrihî ke- mişkâtin fîhâ misbâh, el-misbâhu fî zücâceh, ez-zücâcetü ke-ennehâ kevkebün dürriyyün yûkadu min şeceratin mübâraketin zeytûnetin lâ şarkıyyetin ve lâ garbiyyeh

Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth; His light is likened to a niche containing a lamp; the lamp is in a crystal glass; that glass is as if a pearl-like star, on which the shadow of the east and the west does not fall — of the east and the west the shadow does not fall. That is, the sun rises in the east; this corresponds to outward knowledge; in the (?) the sun sets, and this corresponds to falsehood. Over the people in whose hearts We place Our light, neither the shadow of the outward nor falsehood, He says, holds sway. So the man of whom they say he speaks bird language, from among the people in whose heart He has placed His light, the person who speaks on Allah's verses — on him neither the shadow of the outward, nor the (?) of superstition, nor the talk of falsehood has any effect.

If I am saying something wrong — I prove it with verses — let him convey the truth to me with verses too.

Yes. I stand behind everything I say. Every word, I stand behind every word. What did I say? I said I'd write a tafsir on most of the verses. I wrote it. If it has a shortcoming, show me. Of the 6600 verses — 6300-odd verses — I did the tafsir. And in no book will you find (?) my words — that is, in a book. I said I'd write a translation. A translation. I said I'd write the correct versions of what they wrote wrongly. Did you write it? I did. I said I'd write a tafsir, I said I'd (?) the superstitions, I've reached hadith number 543. I'm sifting them like this, sifting.

Was there never any brave man until now to sift these out? Was there never any scholar until now to speak of these? Did Allah never raise a scholar until now, so that these people imagined themselves scholars and ulema? They invented themselves as scholars. They put themselves in the place of Allah's scholar, laid their heads on the pillow and went to sleep.

Yes.

If they were scholars, why didn't they speak Allah's word? Why didn't they convey the truth?

Look at the state of these people. The Dajjal has carried people off with advertising. The one-eyed monster. What for? Some are exceptions. Some are exceptions. Because within every group Allah Almighty, people to set an example for them, raises and places. Rarely, these people are the exception within that Dajjal; for the Prophet says: all the prophets warned their communities about the Dajjal. The Prophet — would he lie? Allah forbid. Well, how did he warn — with these swindlers, these liars, these enemies of religion; the Dajjals are they; with the enemies of religion he warned. O my community, the Dajjal will appear in your time.

So the one-eyed screens will appear in your time.

The person who puts himself in a scholar's place.

Where are you? Why didn't you stand up for the verses, stand up against the errors? Why didn't you stand up against these superstitious hadiths? When it came to positions, you (?) the leading role. Behind me, thinking yourself a scholar, you cast yourself in the leading role as a scholar. But when told to explain Allah's knowledge to people, you looked for a hole to hide in.

Yes. I am afraid of no one. I speak the truth. Why do I speak the truth? All these years, all these writings, all these books, all full of (?). I prove it, so I don't shy away from it. If he knows the truth, if that person uses his reason — I am speaking the truth, I am saying what is right. If I'm saying something wrong, let him convince me with verses (?), and I will withdraw everything I've said and the books from the market — may Allah grant peace. I will move on and go.

I speak this plainly. I stand behind my word. Why does no brave man come forward?

Yes. I'm not addressing those here. I am addressing the whole world. The world. Because, it seems, it is the superstitions that interpret Islam. Superstitions are carrying it off.

We return to our lesson.

To those still seeking miracles say: surely whoever wishes it from Allah goes astray. That is, if at Qalu Bala a person gave Allah an evil covenant, this person will never again return to Allah. He is already on a deviant path. But a person who gave Allah a good covenant, even if in his period of ignorance he is on a deviant path, will return to his Lord when he hears the truth. That is why there is amr bil-maruf, that is, conveying the truth.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) showed many miracles. Just as the greatest of these miracles is the Holy Quran, besides it there is the splitting of the moon, the event of the moon splitting in two. Also in the Battle of Tabuk, making water flow like a spring from his five fingers, he gave the soldiers water to drink. Mountains, stones, wolves and birds spoke with him. If a person gave Allah a good covenant, such people, on looking at these miracles, believe in Allah and His Messenger. And these people, using their own will, find the truth. To the one who wishes Paradise from Allah, Allah gives His Paradise; to the one who wishes His Hell from Allah, Allah gives His Hell.

Whoever wishes whatever from Allah, Allah gives him what lies within that person's destiny. Calling each to account for what he did, people will not be able to blame Allah.

So whoever turns to Allah, believes in Allah and the hereafter, has faith — Allah guides such people, places in their hearts His light; with this light the person separates truth from falsehood and engages in deeds that will earn Allah's mercy.
