Translation

We will slowly lead those, who deny Our verses, to destruction from a place that they will be unaware of.

Tafsir

Allah encompasses the universe with His Knowledge and Power. Those who rebel against Allah and deny His Verses, Allah (swt) bestows abundant blessings upon them. In such a situation, such people forget the existence of Allah (swt) more and more, and fall into misguidance. Gradually they will be subjected to calamities because they are in the middle of a misguided path. Because of the blessings and positions that Allah (swt) has given to such people, Allah (swt) is gradually moving away from the life to which these people are accustomed and gradually embracing them with calamities, and they are entering into a trap that leads them to destruction, and Allah (swt) encompasses them from unknown directions.

This situation is due to Allah (swt)'s omniscience and power, and Allah (swt) surrounds these people with calamities in ways that are inconceivable to the human mind and imagination in return for the actual deeds of the people. People are gradually dragged towards destruction in return for what they have done. If people turn back to the truth in the midst of these calamities, if they repent, Allah will forgive and forgive such people because He is Tawwab. But if they pass on to the Hereafter in the same state, that is where the real torment is. Since there is no more destruction, no more death, these people will be surrounded by eternal torment in the Hereafter.

What is said in the video

Surah Al-A'raf, verse 182: Those who deny Our verses We lead gradually to destruction from where they do not know, says Allah Almighty. Those who deny Our verses.

The people who deny Allah Almighty's verse are non-Muslims; a Muslim does not deny. His faith may be weak, he may turn a deaf ear, but he never denies, a Muslim. Because his name is Muslim. Yes, isn't it?

Only when he abandons the attribute of Muslim, then of course he denies. Allah Almighty knows that the non-Muslim will listen to his nafs and desire. His nafs and desire. Even if not non-Muslims, those with weak faith, those inclined to the world — that they will listen to their nafs and desire He knows; but a Muslim is not like a non-Muslim. The other fears Allah and stops. If non-Muslim, if those who deny Allah's verses — because they belie Allah, because they deny, all their being, their desire is the world. Their life is the world. Even if they believe in Jesus (?), even if they follow the People of the Book, according to what Allah Almighty has made known, they do not believe in Moses until they die, they do not believe. They do not believe until they die.

They don't believe in the hereafter either, in this case. Their whole desire is the world, their life is the world; and since their nafs and desire long for the world, even if they (?) the world — this world, not only this, even if another world were theirs, even if they owned these worlds, these people would not know what being full is. In this case, since they desire the world, love of the world surrounds them more and more, and they, with an unstoppable desire and wish, follow the world, (?) begins. It rises to the points it can reach. wants to take them. In this case he goes into debt too. Or else he writhes with love of wealth.

Satan's temptation drives him to stinginess. Love of wealth wraps his heart more and more. And he forgets Allah more and more. In this case, since his desire and wish never end, Allah Almighty surrounds him, begins slowly to encircle him, to send calamities, slowly, slowly. In every calamity there is rebellion, in every dead end there is rebellion. We increase his kufr more and more; as his kufr increases, his rebellion increases; as his rebellion increases, his kufr increases, and in this way he perishes. Yes, may Allah protect us.

Those who deny Our verses We will lead gradually to destruction from where they do not know, it says. Allah Almighty has encompassed the universe with His knowledge and power. To those who rebel against Allah, who deny Allah's verses, Allah Almighty gives abundant (?), we say. In this case such people, utterly forgetting Allah's existence, sink into misguidance. In this case, with these people sinking into misguidance, when they are secretly in the middle of a deviant path, they are slowly exposed to calamities. Allah Almighty, because of the blessings and positions He gave such people, in the life these people are used to, their slowly embracing calamities and dragging themselves to destruction by getting caught in a vise — this is Allah's surrounding them from unknown directions.

Shall we show you examples of it openly? Openly.

In a verse: We bring those (?) to (?) positions where they are, so that they go and increase their kufr. That is, so that they prove themselves within that kufr. Former police chiefs, the deep state, mafia bosses — if their faith had been strong — these were taking over the right of (?). These kill people unjustly. These lay their hands on the state's property. These, in a state recognizing neither truth nor justice, these people's property, if they seize it — and now (?) (?). If this isn't being surrounded, what is it? Is it this much from weak faith? Is this much from weak faith? And imagine if they were without faith.

When young, a person even sleeps on a stone.

If he can't find a place to (?), he sleeps outside too. If a person doesn't (?) his old age (?), when he grows old, he can neither stay outside nor sleep on a stone. Those forced to stay out there (?) — they perish too and are gone.

If a human being, just as he prepares for his future, thinking of tomorrow, putting money in his pocket, just as he works so as not to go hungry tomorrow, thinks like this about his old age, he prepares himself (?) so as to be at ease.

These people, out of weak faith — those who in their youth (?), launder black money, those who seize the right of (?), those who unjustly kill people, those who live as in an era of dictatorship, (?).

In this case, in this way, like the cicada, what passed spending it in pomp, not able to grasp what their end will be, the person who cannot, in this case, when they grow old, into every nook and corner they hide. Every nook and corner.

Now what good did their wealth do? What good did their life of pomp do? So these were slowly surrounded. Allah's verse, openly. Look how nicely the events unfold before our eyes, if you listen to the news. Yes, by getting caught in a vise and dragging themselves to destruction — this is Allah's surrounding them from unknown directions. This situation, as the return for a person's deeds, because of Allah Almighty's knowledge and power, from directions that would not occur to man's mind and memory, Allah Almighty surrounds these people with calamities. Would it ever have occurred to us? In Erdoğan's (?), those occupying the state's top positions would go into prisons.

Could you have imagined it? This is Allah Almighty's surrounding people from unknown directions; those who unjustly (?), those who live like dictators, those who use this state as a farm, those who seize the right of (?), those who launder dark money — their end, their end is unfolding before all our eyes. Yes, this situation, as the return for the deeds a person did, because of Allah Almighty's knowledge and power, from directions that would not occur to man's mind and memory, Allah Almighty surrounds these people with calamities. People slowly drift toward destruction in return for what they did.

Weren't there those who died? Weren't there those who committed suicide? Yes. If people, amid these calamities, return to the truth (?), make repentance, since Allah is Tawwab, He pardons and forgives such people. If not, and they pass to the hereafter in the same state, the real torment is there. Since there is no more destruction, that is, death, these people in the hereafter will be surrounded by an eternal torment.
