Translation
It is but a small benefit. Their destination after that is the hell. What a bad destination it is.
Tafsir
Their wandering in the worldly world is a little benefit. They are tested with the blessings of this world, created according to the desires and wishes of every soul according to its covenant. Their inclination towards the world, leaving Allah, and the deeds of rebellious people, they bear witness to themselves and Allah. Do not be like them, envying them, for they enjoy the blessings of this world temporarily and for a little while. (Then their destination is Hell) Allah, Who has made a covenant with each soul, knows their covenant and informs us of their condition in advance. Then the place of their return is Hell.
What is said in the video
It is a brief enjoyment. What is a brief enjoyment? The life of the world. A brief enjoyment (?) Why a brief enjoyment? A thousand years here are like one day of the hereafter. Even if you load the world's wealth on your back, it is not your property; according to the verse 'The inheritance of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah', they are the blessings He gave you in a temporary world of amusement. So if a thousand years here are like one day of the hereafter, then within your lifetime here, your living for about an hour and a half or two is of course a brief enjoyment. It is a brief enjoying.
It is a brief enjoyment. Then their destination is Hell. What an evil destination it is, He says. Yes, their roaming about in this world is a brief enjoyment. According to each soul's covenant, in the face of their desires and wishes, they were tested with the worldly blessings that were created. Their leaning toward the world, abandoning Allah — by the actual deeds that rebellious people commit, they make themselves witnesses against themselves and before Allah. Do not envy them and become like them.
I too sometimes visit historical sites.
Non-Muslims come there, tourists. Believe me, we refrain from mixing with them, we flee from there. We flee from there.
Every kind of immorality, every kind of filth is among them.
But if you can see it — if you cannot, you will envy them. Do you know what the one who envies is? Out of weakness of faith, for the craving of his nafs, he wants to be like them.
Whoever resembles them is like them, as Allah Almighty says in a verse.
Yes.
With the blessings they received in this world, for a temporary and short time they enjoy themselves. Then Hell, their place of return — what an evil place of return it is. Then their destination is Hell. Allah Almighty, who made a covenant with each soul, knows their covenant and informs us in advance of their condition. Then their place of return is Hell, He says. It is Hell. Yes.
