Translation

(On that Day) paradise will be brought closer to the muttaqi.

Tafsir

Bringing Paradise closer to the owners of piety is used metaphorically. It is said that the people of piety are in the nearness of Paradise, so Paradise has been brought near to them.

In another sense, the reason for being close is that every soul will be held to account, and the owners of piety are reported to be heirs to the heavens upon the promise of Allah (swt), so these people are close to the heavens. That is, they will be included in the heavens as soon as their accounts are settled.

This also means that the people of Paradise will not be kept waiting long on the Day of Reckoning, that their accounts will be settled and they will be sent to their places of rest as soon as possible, which will indeed be the case.

What is said in the video

On that day Paradise is brought near to the pious, it says. To the pious. Paradise: that is, on that day those people who, because their Lord receives them with that smiling face, realize they have won their Lord's good pleasure, have understood that they will enter Paradise. Yes. Paradise being brought near to the pious is used in a figurative sense. Yes, regarding the people I told you about a moment ago entering Paradise, Allah Almighty says to them figuratively: Paradise, on that day Paradise is brought near to the pious. Paradise being brought near to the pious is used in a figurative sense.

Since the pious are in the nearness of Paradise, Paradise is said to have been brought near to them. In another sense, the reason for its nearness: since every soul is called to account, and the pious are told that, by Allah Almighty's promise, they are heirs to the gardens of Paradise, these people are near to the gardens of Paradise. That is, as soon as their accounts are settled, they will enter the gardens of Paradise. The Muslims will be resurrected first. Their accounts will be settled. That is, they will be called to account first. From this, the following meaning emerges. That the people of Paradise, on that Day of Reckoning, without being kept waiting long, will have their accounts settled, be brought to peace as soon as possible and sent to their places: this meaning also emerges. And indeed it will be so.
