Al-An'am 82: Those who believe and do not corrupt their belief with oppression; are the ones who have the right to be safe from fear and they are the ones who have attained divine guidance.

Surah Al-An'am, verse 82. Those who believe and do not taint their faith with wrongdoing — safety from fear is their right, and they are the guided ones, it says. That is, having become Muslim, having become Muslim — and since Allah Almighty starts it in the past tense, in the future tense, He says 'those who believe.' He takes them all, all those who believe. Now, since no prophet will come again after the Prophet, and since the religion of Islam will keep its rule until the Day of Judgment, now in our time we need to say it like this:

People honoured with Islam, who stand firm in Islam and do not mix falsehood into their religion, who fear Allah and worship and pray to Him, are those who are safe from fear. What fear is this? From the fear of Hell and the fear of being safe from Allah's wrath they are safe. The Muslims.

Those who believe and do not associate partners with Allah, who know Allah as Creator, and with Allah's light fulfil the command of their Lord — fulfil their Lord's command — are people safe from fear. That is, Allah Almighty will receive them on the (?) Day of Judgment with a smiling face, and the angels will say to them 'peace be upon you' — those people will be safe from fear. Because they love Allah, and Allah loves these people too. Those who declare Allah's creations, about which there is no proof at all, to be gods and worship them; who, although every mind knows its Lord, ascribe partners to Allah; who, in the (?), hope for help from Allah's creations and do not fear Allah — on that Day of Gathering, when they see the punishment, when they realize they cannot escape that punishment, and when they taste that fear, on a day when they have neither a friend nor any intercessors, when the fear of that everlasting punishment seizes them, then they will see who is safe from fear.

You know how in this world he lives by his own partial will, by his own decisions, how, again in this world, he says by his own lights that Muslims live like weeds; again, by their own minds they see themselves as very high and mock Muslims. Then they draw strength from one another and, so as to fear nothing, lean their backs against one another, and, sir, there are (?) people, aren't there — there, at the Great Court, when they see that punishment, those who lean their backs against one another and (?) will move away from one another. They will not want to see one another. That fear will be enough for them.

What does Allah Almighty say? When they realize they will be thrown into the punishment, that they will enter it, their eyes, He says, pop out like sky blue. They throw themselves face down on the ground, He says. Face down. Well then, in this situation, if we are believing people, I am asking you now. We all more or less know that this world is a temporary, sir, place of testing. If we know this world is a temporary place of testing, and our Lord tells us that a thousand years here are like one day of the hereafter, and we believe that too, then for an hour or two of worldly life — to end up in the punishment of the eternal hereafter — those who plunge into this world's pleasures and turn their backs on Allah: do they have minds or not?

I leave this to you. Are they wise or not?

A wise person is one who thinks of his tomorrow, who wants to be sure of his future. A wise person. So since this world is temporary, we must think of the sovereignty of the hereafter. We must gain that place. And to gain that place, what does our Lord tell us and what does He want from us? He does not lay on our backs the burden we can bear. He places no hardship on the sick, the lame, the blind. And on the healthy too He places nothing beyond their strength. So in this case, if toward your Lord, who throughout a whole life, never tiring, not even for a moment has failed to give you your provision, you play deaf, if you turn your back, you wrong your own self.

Allah will not have wronged you. Because Allah says He wrongs no one. They wrong their own selves, He says. Yes.
