Surat al-A’raf, 151-159

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on A9 TV dated 18 April 2012

Verse 151

“He said, ‘My Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy. You are the Most Merciful of the merciful’.”

Verse 152

“As for those who adopted the Calf, anger from their Lord will overtake them together with abasement in the life of this world.” In other words, Allah says that the Darwinists and materialists will inevitably be defeated. The Qur’an indicates that. “That is how we repay the purveyors of falsehood.”

Because they spread lies.

Verse 153

“But as for those who do evil actions and then subsequently repent and believe, in that case your Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

The Qur’an indicates we also need to treat irreligious people with love and affection. Because people who make mistakes can still repent and come to faith. “in that case your Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

That is how our perspective will be, insha’Allah.

Verse 154

“When Moses’ anger abated he picked up the Tablets and in their inscription was guidance and mercy for all of them who feared their Lord.”

 A manifestation of Allah’s name of al-Hadi [the Guide], insha’Allah.

Verse 155

“Moses chose seventy men from his people for Our appointed time,” the Sanhedrin Council. Look, the establishment of the Sanhedrin after 3000 years is a portent of the coning of the Mahdi. This 70-member council mentioned in the Qur’an has been re-established. “and when the earthquake seized them he said, ‘My Lord, if You had willed, You could have destroyed them previously and me as well. Would you destroy us for what the fools among us did?” So it is shameful to blame a whole people. There may be foolish people, and they need to be distinguished. “It was only a Trial from You.” Allah’s test. “by which You misguided those You willed and guided those You willed.” Some are the antichrist, and some are the Mahdi. “You are our Protector so forgive us and have mercy on us. You are the Best of Forgivers.”

Verse 156

“Prescribe good for us in this world and the hereafter. We have truly turned to You.’ He said, ‘As for My punishment, I strike with it anyone I will. My mercy extends to all things but I will prescribe it for those who fear of Allah and give alms, and those who believe in Our Signs:”

Whose verses are the verses of the Qur’an? They are Allah’s. This is also adressed to the Prophet Moses (pbuh). Anyone who does not believe in the Qur’an, Christian or Muslim, is in a state of sin.

Verse 157

“those who follow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel,” who cannot read and write. The Mahdi is also illiterate. “commanding them to do right and forbidding them to do wrong,” illicit actions. “making good things lawful for them and bad things unlawful for them, relieving them of their heavy loads,” the nonsense produced by the bigots. “and the chains which were around them.” The chains produced by the bigots. “Those who believe in him and honour him and help him, and follow the Light that has been sent down with him, they are the ones who are successful.”

Verse 158

“Say: ‘Mankind! I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, of Him to Whom the kingdom of the heavens and earth belongs. There is no god but Him. He gives life and causes to die’.” He cannot read and write. Neither can the Mahdi read and write, and he knows no Arabic. “So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, who believe in Allah and His words, and follow him so that hopefully you will be guided.”

Verse 159

“Among the people of Moses there is a group who guide by the truth and act justly in accordance with it.”

Allah says the Jews have enemies in every century. What do they say? “We will kill whomever we find among the rocks and stones.” But what does Allah say? “Among the people of Moses there is a group who guide by the truth and act justly in accordance with it.”
