Translation

“Make me among the inheritors of the paradises of Naeem.”

Tafsir

Hadrat Ibrahim 'alaihis-salâm' continued his prayer and said: "O Lord! He said, "Make me one of the heirs of Naim Paradise.

Allah (swt) describes Paradise Naim as a paradise with rivers flowing from its floors, but He also says that it is a paradise reserved for the owners of piety.

Also, in the heaven of Naim, Allah will manifest Himself to people and they will see Allah with His attribute of Jamal. By asking Allah (swt) for the heaven of Naim, which is a high station, Hazrat Ibrahim 'alaihis-salâm' is actually asking for Allah (swt)'s appearance and to be blessed with Him.

What is said in the video

We have come to Surah Ash-Shu'ara, verse 85. Make me one of the heirs of the Garden of Na'im, he says. Now, Allah Almighty says there are 7 paradises. 'Hodja, don't make a mistake, there are 8 paradises.' But the 8th does not belong to us. The eighth is Maqam Mahmud. It is exclusively for the Prophet (peace be upon him). People cannot even imagine it, it says. So can you know something that is unknown? Since we cannot even imagine it, now think of his station. (?) So: seven paradises. Of the seven paradises, the highest station — which paradise is it? The Garden of Na'im. What does he know, Hodja? Look, what is the great prophet saying now?

Make me one of the heirs of the Garden of Na'im. Would he say: give me the lower paradise? What is the highest paradise? The Garden of Na'im. Make me one of its heirs, he says. He asks for the highest paradise. Yes. Continuing his prayer, Abraham (peace be upon him) said: O Lord, make me one of the heirs of the Garden of Na'im. Allah Almighty describes the Garden of Na'im as a paradise beneath which rivers flow and, besides that, as a paradise reserved for the God-fearing, He makes known. That is, one reserved for His righteous servants, that is, a place reserved for the prophets. Righteous servants.

For example, the qutbs. Let's say

people risen to nafs radiya, having reached the state of (?), people. The Qutb al-A'zams. These are all righteous servants. They are in the Garden of Na'im.

Allah Almighty describes the Garden of Na'im as a paradise beneath which rivers flow and, besides that, as a paradise reserved for the God-fearing, it is made known. Moreover, in the Garden of Na'im Allah Almighty will be present to people through manifestation, and in His attribute of beauty they will meet Allah Almighty. If one meets Him in this world, if He manifests, there they will, at ease, manifest. So Abraham (peace be upon him), by asking for this (?) station, the Garden of Na'im, from Allah Almighty, in fact desires the beauty of Allah Almighty and to be honored with Him. Who wouldn't want this?

Why do we worship in this world?

Why do we do good deeds to win the pleasure of Allah Almighty? Then we will keep away from gossip, from backbiting, from eating what is forbidden. We will stay away from things Allah does not want. We will be bound by the rule of the Sharia and, with taqwa, adorn ourselves. We will be careful about halal and haram. Yes. So, whatever our rank, whatever our covenant, we will continue on our way up to our covenant.
