Surat al-Alaq

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar’s live interview dated September 4, 2011

 

Surat al-Alaq

“Recite: In the Name of your Lord Who created,

created man from clots of blood.

Recite: And your Lord is the Most Generous,

He Who taught by the pen,

taught man what he did not know.

No indeed! Truly man is unbridled

seeing himself as self-sufficient.”

 “…seeing himself as self-sufficient”it says.

“Truly it is to your Lord that you will return.

Have you seen him who prevents

a servant when he goes to pray?”

To prevent him reading the Qur’an or praying or meeting with other Muslims. They are all covered by this, insha’Allah.

“Do you think he is rightly guided

or enjoins righteousness?”

If he serves Islam and the Qur’an and strives for Allah’s approval.

If he tells people to be the best they can and seek the best for Allah’s approval.

“Or do you see how he has denied and turned away?”

He who denies the sufficiency of the Qur’an and turns his back on Muslims.

“Does he not know that Allah sees?”

Pagans do not realize that Allah sees. They act according to their own lights. They would not do that if they knew that He sees.

“No indeed! If he does not desist, We will grab him by the forelock, a lying, sinful forelock.”

Allah says that He will seize him, even if he is wearing a turban or anything, insha’Allah. If he has a head covering, He will seize him by that.

“Let him call his attendants.”

“Let him call on his community, people, brothers or anyone” says Almighty Allah.

“We will call the Guards of Hell,”

In His words, do not allow him to prevent you. Do not submit to his refusal to allow you to read or discuss the Qur’an, to pray or to speak with other Muslims.

 “No indeed! Do not obey him, but prostrate and draw near.”

You must continue to pray and strive to serve Islam and the Qur’an. “…and draw near” says Almighty Allah.

“Truly, Man is unbridled.”

Bediüzzaman says this here; “it refers to the person of the dajjal and his sorcery and to his attacking the believers.” It refers to the way of the dajjal. The abjad [numerological] value of this verse gives the date of the death of Darwin. This is how Bediüzzaman interprets this verse, “Truly, Man is unbridled.” “It refers to him since Darwinism and materialism are opposed to people of faith, since he produces materialist, Darwinist and Leninist thinking against people of faith, together with an aggressive ideology.”
