Al-An'am 144: And (Allah has created) two from camel and two from cow. Say; “Did Allah forbid the males or the ones in the wombs of the females? Or did you witness Allah ordering you as such?” Who is a greater oppressor than the one who fabricates lies against Allah to lead people astray ignorantly? Verily, nations that continue with oppression cannot enter the right path of Allah.

And (Allah has created) two from camel and two from cow. Say; “Did Allah forbid the males or the ones in the wombs of the females? Or did you witness Allah ordering you as such?” Who is a greater oppressor than the one who fabricates lies against Allah to lead people astray ignorantly? Verily, nations that continue with oppression cannot enter the right path of Allah.
Tafsir
Of the eight pairs that Allah (swt) created, He created four from cattle and camels. Two of these are cattle and two are camels, male and female. Here again Allah (swt) asks people. Has Allah forbidden you the males or the females of these, or what is in the wombs of both? Or have you witnessed that Allah has willed this to you, showing how far these people are from Allah? Allah bestows upon mankind, through the Prophets, the words and knowledge that they will need and that will bring them out of darkness into light, as much as He wills. In this case, these people are subject to the stubborn devil who has no knowledge, and they harm themselves and the people around them with the words they make up in their own minds and worship as religion and are dragged behind them.
Therefore, who is more unjust than these people for inventing lies against Allah in order to mislead people, when they have no knowledge of anything. Had these people feared Allah and known Allah, they would not have invented such lies and used such words to lead people into error and misguidance. They obeyed Allah and His Messenger.
These polytheists, idolaters and disbelievers, are unjust to their own souls because of the lies they fabricate against Allah. Who is more unjust than these? In this verse, it is understood that they will taste the most severe and lasting torment. In this case, may Allah reform the person who rebels against Allah and oppresses his/her own soul, and may Allah protect the Ummah of Muhammad from falling into this situation. As long as they continue in this state, they will not come to the right path of Allah.
What is said in the video
To verse 144 of Surah Al-An'am. As I said a moment ago, below, Allah Almighty will count those four as well. What does it say now? He created two from camels and two from cattle. Say: Has He forbidden the males of these, or the young that are in the wombs of these two females? Or were you witnesses when Allah enjoined this upon you? That is, does Allah have such a verse? Who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allah to lead people astray without knowledge, it says. So, as I said a moment ago, who could be more unjust than the one who, again without knowledge, stands against the verses and hadiths and slanders, without knowledge, the person who explains Allah's verses and the hadiths, which are hadith and which are not hadith?
Who could be more unjust? I am not saying this; Allah is saying these things.
Who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allah to lead people astray without knowledge? Indeed, who is more unjust than the one who speaks, without knowledge, against the person explaining Allah's verses, to lead people astray? Surely, as long as the community of wrongdoers continues in that state, they will not come to Allah's right path.
As long as they continue on that path. But if they become repentant. Repentant. And unless they (?) forgiveness from Allah. Then what does Allah Almighty say? In a hadith, the Prophet says this: Even if your sins reached the clouds in the sky, when you repent with a sincere heart, Allah Almighty (?) them, he says. Yes. Bishr al-Hafi, too, used to never leave the tavern. The tavern. But one night on the road he finds a piece of paper. On that piece of paper the noble Basmala is written. He washes it well and cleans it. He hangs it at his bedside. He treats it with reverence.
Allah Almighty tells one of His saintly servants to take him out of the tavern. And finally that Bishr al-Hafi leaves the tavern and leaves his homeland. In Baghdad, for his sake, the animals (?) on the roads. He used to walk barefoot. When the animals began to foul the roads, they said Bishr al-Hafi had died. So, however many sins you have, however much you slander people, if those people are friends of Allah, they forgive you their rights. They are friends of Allah. They hold no grudge against people. If you too become repentant with your remorse, what does the hadith say? Even if they reached the clouds in the sky, We change them into good deeds, it says.
If our Lord says so, it is so. If the Prophet says so, it is so. Because the friends of Allah submit to what he says, they too forgive their rights. Yes.
Of the eight pairs Allah Almighty created, He created four from cattle and camels. From cattle and camels.
Two of these are cattle, and two are female and male camels. Here again Allah Almighty asks people. Exactly. Like with the sheep and goats, this time these four, the other four were sheep and goats. This time He asks about camels. The same thing. Is it the males of these or the females? Or has Allah forbidden you what is in the wombs of both? That is, has Allah forbidden you what is in the wombs of the camel and the cow, it says. Far from it. Do you have any proof before you? Did He give you such a command?
Or were you witnesses when Allah enjoined this upon you: His saying this shows how far these people are from Allah. Yes. Let a person once turn his back on Allah. Let a person once, in (?), turn his covenant with Allah Almighty into rebellion. Then no one in the world can bring him to what is right. Because his character and destiny were written that way. So however much you show them the truth, however much you prove the truth to them with knowledge, because their characters are rebellious against the truth, when they hear the word of truth they get to the point where the clouds in the sky would burst.
And they leave those places. So however a person has those characters, against Allah Almighty, against that Creator, against his Lord, can you now imagine his (?)? How he has become Satan's friend, and how, waiting for the Lord of his imagination, picturing the moment he will take revenge on Allah who created him, these people get to the point where, because of themselves, the clouds in the skies would burst against Allah Almighty.
Why does he not accept Allah, but waits for the Lord of his imagination? Because Allah's commands weigh heavily on these people's selves. Why do they weigh heavily? Because there is pride and arrogance. There is fame and glory. There is ego. Ego, a grandeur. Within these feelings, the command of the Lord who created him weighs on him, and he does not accept it. Who are you, he says. Who are you? He waits for the Lord of his imagination. What is the Lord of his imagination? One who will submit to what he says, do what he says, pat him on the back, say you are right, give him the places he wants.
He waits for such a Lord. So what does Allah Almighty say about the Lord of his imagination? They will not see their Lord, it says. Because there is no god other than Allah, so their Lord, that Lord they imagined, is not there for them to wait for. So within those fantasies, how, in what form, the Lord he imagines, if he imagines a Lord, if he imagines a Lord who does not exist, he carves it with (?), brings it into that shape, stands before it and worships it. In the end, if there were such an imaginary Lord, he would come: well done. You held me as one, even if in your imagination, (?); whatever you want, I will give you what you want, he will say.
And he too will take revenge on Allah who created him. So within those feelings they remain in eternal Hell. In eternal Hell.
Let those characters once settle in people. So the world is a stage. Where the good and the bad live together. A world of actors, each playing his script according to his own nature.
Yes. Play your role, play your role well. Play your role obediently. Because you do not know what covenant you (?) there. Use your reason here.
Yes. Or were you witnesses when Allah granted you this: His saying this shows how far these people are from Allah. Allah grants people, through the prophets, as much as He wills of His words and His knowledge that people will need and that will bring them out of the darkness into light. As much as He wills.
With our limited reason, if our Lord had not held before us that light, that radiance, we would have lived in this swampy world beside ourselves, unaware of ourselves, like drunkards staggering left and right. Yes.
As much as He wills, because He makes known as much as fits our limited reason and as much as we can bear. The key to the unseen is in Allah's hand. From those records, only by showing some wonders to His saintly servants and miracles to His prophet servants, by showing superhuman events, He makes known that His Being is the Truth. So Allah grants people His words and His knowledge that they will need and that will bring them out of darkness into light, as much as He wills, through the prophets. In that case these people, with the words they invent from their own heads, worship as religion and are dragged along by, harming both themselves and those around them, follow every ignorant, stubborn devil.
Yes, they follow every ignorant, stubborn devil. Because it pleases them.
Therefore, while they know nothing at all, who is more unjust than them, because of the lie they invent against Allah to lead people astray? They know nothing at all. That is, they know nothing of Allah's knowledge. Even though they themselves live in a dark world.
Look, the verse says so. What does Allah Almighty say? In a verse that was interpreted wrongly, we will correct this place. The verses always confirm one another anyway. They never contradict. Their state, the hypocrites', is in the dark night, it says. It is the example of someone who kindles a fire, it says. They cannot kindle a fire. It is the example of a burning fire. The example of a burning fire. The fire is the Holy Quran descending from the sky. That is, what gives light.
As soon as that fire burns and lights up its surroundings, Allah at once takes away their light.
Now this has been interpreted wrongly in two ways. One: or do you own a single speck of your world? If you owned that speck, we say, nothing of your world would be given to you. So if these have kindled the fire, that is, if they have come to a state that will enlighten them, Allah Almighty does not seize what He created for them. He gives it to them. And gives them nothing of the world either. So Allah does not extinguish their light. Now, here, those who turn their backs on that light, that is, although Allah, so that they would benefit from a light (?) and from His light placed before them, put their reason to work, and find life through Allah's verses, sends His verses to them, when they turn their backs on Allah's verses, they leave themselves in darkness.
Yes.
Therefore, while they know nothing at all, that is, while they cannot find the truth (?) the verses or with their reason, because of the lie they invent against Allah to lead people astray, who is more unjust than them? If these people had feared Allah and known Allah, they would not use words that lead people into misguidance and error by inventing lies from their heads. They would obey Allah and His Messenger. Yes. They would obey Allah and His Messenger.
So these polytheists, that is, the idolaters and unbelievers, because of the lies they invent against Allah, are unjust to their own selves. What a person does to himself, the two worlds together could not do. The reason: if a person is someone's enemy, at most he kills him. If that person is good, in the end, at the Supreme Court, after Allah Almighty settles his account, He sends him to Paradise. But worse than death: if a person opposes his Lord, rebels against Him and goes to the Hereafter as a non-Muslim, he will have bought (?) eternal torment, and so, without anyone wronging this person, he has wronged himself. Well, Hodja, did Satan not deceive him?
What can this man do? Well, did the rulers over him, the taghuts, not deceive him too? What can this man do? When you say that, what does Allah Almighty say? The earth is very wide. If you migrate even a span on earth, if you migrate even a span for Allah, you will be like those Companions who migrated. And Allah's earth is wide. Where you migrate, you will find Allah's provision more abundant, it says. Where you migrate. So, as I said a moment ago, it is a world in which actors play, the good and the bad, who had their scripts written in the world. Play your role well, I said. Play your role well.
Yes.
So these polytheists, that is, the idolaters and unbelievers, because of the lies they invent against Allah, are unjust to their own selves. In the verse where He says who is more unjust than these, it is explained that they will taste the greatest and most lasting torment for injustice. In that case, may Allah reform the person who wrongs himself by rebelling against Allah. And may He protect the whole community of Muhammad from falling into these states, we have said.
