Transcript
00:00And those whom these polytheists call other than Allah, do not say anything bad to them,
00:04lest they, too, should say anything bad to Allah without any respect or understanding.
00:09In this way We have made good the deeds of every nation in their eyes.
00:14Then they will have to return to their Lord, and then He will tell them what they used to do.
00:21And these people swear by Allah that if they have any sign, they will surely bring faith on it.
00:28Say that all the signs are with Allah.
00:32And, O believers, what do you know?
00:34They are so mischievous that even if the signs come to them, they will not believe.
00:40And We will turn their hearts and eyes.
00:43So as they did not believe in this Qur'an for the first time, they will not believe again.
00:48And We will leave them to wander in their rebellion.
00:52And if We had sent angels upon them, and the dead began to speak to them,
00:57and We had made all things absent before them, they would not have believed.
01:03But Allah willed it.
01:05The thing is that they are often foolish.
01:08And in the same way, We had made evil-minded men and jinn enemies of every prophet.
01:14They used to put things in each other's hearts to deceive.
01:20And if your Lord wanted, He would not have done this.
01:23So leave them and whatever they slander.
01:27And they used to do such things so that those who do not believe in the Hereafter,
01:32their hearts should be inclined to their words, and they should like them.
01:37And they began to do what they used to do.
01:40Say, Shall I look for anyone other than Allah?
01:44Although He has sent you a book with clear terms.
01:48And those to whom We have given the Book, that is, the Torah,
01:51they know that it has been revealed by your Lord.
01:55So you are not in doubt at all.
01:59And your Lord's words are complete in truth and justice.
02:03No one can change His words.
02:05And He hears and knows.
02:08And often people who are settled on the earth are misguided.
02:11If you listen to them, they will make you forget the way of Allah.
02:15They are just following their delusions and shooting arrows without thinking.
02:21Your Lord knows those who are lost in His way.
02:26And He is well aware of those who are on the way.
02:30So whatever is taken in the name of Allah at the time of death,
02:33if you believe in its verses, then eat it.
02:37And what is the reason that whatever is taken in the name of Allah, you do not eat it?
02:42Although He has stated the things that He has made forbidden for you one by one.
02:48No doubt, they should not eat it.
02:50But in the case that they become unable to eat it.
02:55And many people are misguiding people with their selfish desires.
03:01There is no doubt that your Lord knows very well those people who go beyond the limits set by Allah.
03:10And you should give up all kinds of physical and hidden sins.
03:14Those who sin will soon be punished for their deeds.
03:18And whatever is not taken in the name of Allah, do not eat it.
03:23Because eating it is a sin.
03:24And the evil people put in the hearts of their companions that they should quarrel with you.
03:30And if you follow their words, then no doubt you will also become polytheists.
03:34We have brought back the dead to life and made light for them.
03:39And through this light, they walk among people.
03:42Can there be a person who is lying in darkness and cannot come out of it?
03:48Similarly, the disbelievers who are doing good deeds, they feel good.
03:53And in the same way, we have given a chance to the big criminals in every settlement to cheat.
03:59And those who cheat, they are the ones who suffer.
04:04And they are unaware of this.
