Al-Furqan 69: Their sins will be summed up on the Day of Judgment and they will remain in it (punishment) eternally in humiliation.

We have already come to that. Now, Surah Al-Furqan, verse 69. What have they written? "On the Day of Judgment their punishment is multiplied many times, and they remain in it, in the punishment, forever, humiliated," it says. This verse ascribes attributes to Allah Almighty and makes Him unjust.

Not the verse, but the explanation. The explanation of this verse ascribes attributes to Allah Almighty, accuses Him of injustice, and they accuse Allah of tyranny. What is it? On the Day of Judgment their punishment is supposedly multiplied. Say I committed a hundred sins; if it is multiplied, two hundred, three hundred sins will be given to me. Yet if this world is the likeness and shadow of the hereafter, how will it be calculated? A person will be charged for the crime he committed. Nothing more is given. So the meaning of this verse is not that. Because we are freeing Allah Almighty from being accused, certain groups, fearing that we will do away with these writings, laboured over for a hundred years and recorded here, and that their hundred years of work, their two hundred years of work, would go to waste — a certain part of a certain group has formed armour around these verse translations; we cannot pierce it, get inside and explain this to people.

I don't know if I could explain it. I put it a bit indirectly. The meaning of this verse is this: on the Day of Judgment, for what they did, for whatever they did, their sins are added up. You killed a man: one sin. You killed another: two sins. So sins are added up. From this, from that. You consumed what is forbidden; that will be added. You wronged someone; that will be added. It will be added up. It will not be multiplied. Every crime you commit, and men ya'mel miskâle zerratin şerran yerah. That is, it is written. The meaning of the verse: every crime you commit, an atom's weight of evil, is written. These will of course be added up.

But it will not be multiplied. Yes. May Allah (?) you. Yes. "Their sins are added up, and humiliated in the punishment, they remain in it forever." That is the meaning of the verse. Yes.

What have you written here anyway? "On the Day of Judgment their sins are added up for what they did, and humiliated in the punishment they remain in it forever." Those who do not heed Allah's command, who do not fear Allah, who, while living the worldly life, take lives Allah has made sacred, draw near to adultery, who live immersed in things like alcohol and interest, forbidden things Allah has prohibited; Allah's verses are addressed (?).

Those who deny Allah's verses, abide by the ones that suit them, and of the ones that don't, say "they are out- dated, addressed to old times," and who live in the swamps that their nafs shows them — these remain forever in hell in punishment. When the verse was explained, (?), they ascribed attributes to Allah Almighty. Yes.

There's an extra letter y here. Let's delete it. The wrong explanation: their punishment is being multiplied. It has been explained as "will be multiplied". This explanation is wrong. The correct one is explained above. Allah multiplies no one's sins. Every soul will see the return for what it has earned.

The good deeds of people who do good, Allah multiplies many times as a gift from Himself. Here it exists. Multiplying. For whom? For those who do good deeds. Why? What does Allah Almighty say? In the hereafter, to His believing servants, His righteous servants: "O My servants, in the world you carried out My command. You pleased Me. You satisfied Me. You broke the neck of Satan, who is My enemy. This is what you have earned today. One villa. And from Me, this villa is a gift to you. A second villa. And from Me, this palace is a gift to you. And this, too, is a gift to you." What did He do? He multiplied it several times over.

He was pleased. He gives a tip. A tip. With us, when we have someone do a job and he does work we like — for how much did we have this job done? For fifty. One gives sixty. One gives seventy. "And this is your tip," I say.

Yes.

"Take on the moral qualities of Allah," says the Prophet. Abu Bakr says, "O Messenger of Allah, I wonder how many of them I have." "O Abu Bakr," he says, "you lack either six or seven of them," he says. Yes. This is what taking on Allah's moral qualities is like.

When a person gives a worker a little more money for the job, these days they either take him for a sucker, or take him for a fool, or they say, "This man has money to spare, he's throwing it around." That's what they say. They cannot know the truth of the matter.

Yes. We read it again. The good deeds of people who do good, Allah, as a gift from Himself, multiplies many times over. This is Allah's promise and His gift to His servants through His attribute of generosity. But when it comes to punishment, with the sins the people of hell committed, the sins they committed are added up, and they receive the exact due of their punishment. The adding up of their sins here is like this. Just as a person commits several crimes in the world, and before the law this person's crimes are added up — we see it now, don't we, his crimes are added up, from this crime, that crime, this crime, and they give him that. The world is the likeness and shadow of the hereafter.

Just as a person commits several crimes in the world, before the law this person's crimes are added up, added to one another, and his sentence is passed. In the hereafter too, since every crime committed has its due, their various crimes are added up, and they are sentenced to punishments for the crimes they committed. Their punishments are lasting and eternal. They have sought the eternal punishment of a realm where there is no more death. So, O man, be wise: just as you think of your tomorrow in the world, so think of the abode of bliss in the hereafter as well. This world is transient, but the hereafter is lasting and eternal. So by the rosy-looking beauty of this world do not be deceived.

Allah Almighty says: the world is the likeness and shadow of the hereafter. So do not waste your time dallying with this shadow. Here we have written one of our couplets. This world (?) this uproar, even if the mountains shift from their place. The whole universe is created by its Lord. Beware, never step out of His command. Shadows will be wiped away with death. Truths will come to light at the moment of death. When called to account at the Great Court, how will one get through that reckoning?

Yet man does not think of his tomorrow. He lives for the day. He gives his heart to this world. He turns his back on the hereafter. He denies Allah. He hopes there is no resurrection after death, and worships the world, takes as his god what his nafs shows him, and if he follows Satan, his enemy, and the taghut, these people will taste the various punishments of the hereafter and remain in these punishments forever. Yes.
