Translation

A group among the mu’min (believers) did not desire that your Lord took you out of your house for the sake of the Truth.

Tafsir

When the order of Allah (swt) came to fight the polytheists, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) gathered the believers and began to tell them about the war against the disbelievers of Quraysh. The believers asked the Prophet not to go to war, explaining that their forces were small and the polytheists were many and that they were in no position to fight them. However, if Allah promises something, it will surely happen. Because Allah does not go back on His promises. Here too, Allah's intention is to wage war against the polytheists in order to eradicate them. No matter how many these armies of polytheists may be, if Allah is with the people He has promised, and if Allah's intention is to destroy the polytheists, He will eradicate them by preparing causes for them and by the people who are with Allah.

Because these worlds are programmed with a program. While all human beings are living their wills, Allah creates causes for them. These worlds complete their course according to this program until the end. No force or power other than Allah can go beyond this program.

What is said in the video

Surah Al-Anfal, verse 5: That your Lord brought you out of your home for the sake of the truth, a group of the believers had not wanted.

In the verse, our Lord knows what passes through people's hearts.

He even knows what a person needs that is hidden in the finest part of his heart, but of which the person is unaware; He knows the secrets of those hearts. In this case, if Allah Almighty brings His Messenger out of his home for the sake of the truth, some of the believers put forward their own opinions. We said that Allah Almighty tells us about history, tells about the past, tells about human hearts, tells about human feelings, tells about His own being, and that His being is the Truth and, without producing any deficiency, flawlessly, how beautifully He shows us that there is wisdom in every matter.

They say the opposing polytheist armies are very strong.

This verse came for that. Although your Lord, in truth, to establish His religion firmly until the Day of Judgment, called you to war, some of those believers, unaware of this, were arguing with you, it says. What does it say? That your Lord brought you out of your home for the sake of the truth, a group of the believers had not wanted, it says. Yes, because the believer was unaware of this, unaware of life, he put forward his opinion. What does it say? When the order to fight the polytheists came by Allah Almighty's command, when it came, the Noblest Messenger and Honored Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him), gathering the believers, began to explain to them making war against the Quraysh disbelievers.

The believers, explaining that they were few in strength and the polytheists many in strength, and that they were in no position to fight them, asked the Prophet (peace be upon him), (?) of war, that they not go to war, not go to war. Not to go to war. A small force. They had left Mecca. Some of the Muhajirun, some of the Tabi'in, let's not say Tabi'in, of the Muhajirun and the Ansar, some were weak against the Meccan polytheist armies. Rightly, they put forward their opinions. Their opinions. For instance, they are unaware of the verse. The command comes to the Prophet, but they are unaware of this verse.

Yes.

Yet if Allah promises something, it will surely happen. Because Allah does not go back on His promise. And here Allah's will is, by fighting the polytheists, to have them uprooted. However numerous these polytheist armies may be, if Allah is with the people He promised and if Allah's will is to remove the polytheists and to establish Islam firmly in place, preparing means for the armies of Islam, with the people who are with Allah Almighty He uproots these polytheist armies. Allah's strength and power suffice for everything. He has programmed the worlds anyway, and according to people's wishes and desires Allah Almighty creates means, and within those means people, playing out their own wishes and desires, earn reward and sin.

Because these worlds have been programmed with a program. While all beings live out their own wills, Allah Almighty creates means for them. These worlds complete their course according to this program until the end. Apart from Allah, no strength or power can go outside this drawn program. This is not possible. Yes, if Allah Almighty does not will, people cannot will. Yes.
