Translation

(Oh Muhammad!) Be patient, Because Allah does not let go in vain the rewards of those with beautiful deeds.

Tafsir

Since our Prophet (PBUH) came as a mercy to the worlds, he wanted to announce Islam to all people and those among them who would become Muslims would turn away from disbelief and become Muslims as soon as possible. For this reason, he sent envoys to the four corners of the world and dictated letters to kings, heads of state and tribes to invite them to Islam. He made the whole world hear about Islam through these messengers.

Islam is the last and perfect religion. There is no religion other than Islam. Allah (swt) has gathered all religions in Islam. The Prophet (PBUH) was also in a hurry to fulfill his responsibility to Allah (swt) by announcing Islam to the people as soon as possible.

Allah (swt) says, 'Habibim, be patient: Nothing happens before its due time. Do not be saddened by people's denial of your Prophethood and their persecution of you, be patient, for you are the greatest of them. So pray, and be patient in the way of Allah with those who follow the truth with you.

(For Allah does not waste the reward of those who do good deeds). Allah prepares the reward of every good deed in His sight. He even gives them treats. He multiplies the good deeds by many times. This is a favor from Allah to people. He encourages people to do good. No matter what His creatures are, whether they are pagans or magi, as long as they live in the world, they are under the mercy of Allah (swt). He says, "My mercy has exceeded my wrath. That is why He does not want to oppress them. Therefore, Allah encourages those who do good and increases their rewards many times over.

What is said in the video

Allah Almighty says to the Prophet (peace be upon him): O Muhammad, be patient, for Allah does not let the reward of those who do good go to waste, He says. Surah Hud, verse 115. O Muhammad, be patient, for Allah does not let the reward of those who do good go to waste.

Surely, if our Lord who created us says to the one He sent us as a mercy to the worlds, the Prophet, "be patient", and through him addresses all people with this, since He says He does not let the reward of those who do good go to waste: good deeds, that is, those who are upright, who counsel the truth, who cheat no one, who to Allah's commands are (?), as long as they fulfil the duty of servanthood, Allah, it says, of these the duties they have performed, of the good deeds done, does not let the reward go to waste. "Well then, Hodja, are there also those whose deeds go to waste?" There are. Who? (?), it says.

No, and all the pleasant deeds they have done have gone to waste. So when, as Muslims, we fulfil the duty of servanthood to Allah, (?) from the unbelievers; since all the pleasant deeds they have done go to waste, the acts of worship we have done are not wasted. Plus, Allah Almighty gives even more out of His own grace. Now, as I said earlier, they have distanced us from the Quran. They tied us to the world. The world's goods they made people desire, and with them they made them try to live just the outward form of humanity.

Have we, as humans, ever reflected what difference there is between animals and us?

Have we ever reflected on this?

Yes. Now look. Between an animal and a human, a tremendous difference there is. The world, this world, if it were adorned with the most precious jewels, or full, with its rubies, its (?), its gold, its diamonds, adorned, full; not just this world, but if another world were full like this, the animal just lifts its leg, urinates on it, and walks on. That is the animal. It urinates on it, on that adornment, and walks on. It only knows, what? It knows to eat, and also it knows to fulfil the duty Allah Almighty has instilled in it. It knows nothing else. And since it carries out Allah Almighty's command and Allah has undertaken its provision, the animals' responsibility has been removed. Now if we compare ourselves with animals, the animal too lives in the world, eats, drinks, passes on.

But man, created honored above the worlds, to what Allah has created inclines; what the animal urinates on and does not look at, without saying halal or haram, he shoulders it, as if it were his own property he trusts in it, carries on his life with it, and on Allah who bestowed on him that adornment, that matter, he turns his back. What a sad affair. In this case we have fallen into a (?) lower even than the animal. May Allah protect us. May Allah protect us.

May Allah grant us good understanding. "Well, Hodja, shall we not work then?" We will work. He has placed the world at our command. Even though that jewel which the animal urinates on and does not look at, that your Lord gave it to you as a blessing, and that with it you help Allah's servants, and in this way raise your rank in the Hereafter: for this Allah placed those adornments at your command. He did not give you those adornments, those materials, so that you take them and forget Him. Allah Almighty says "those who wage jihad with their lives and their wealth" in the verse, in many verses. Those who wage jihad.

Those people to whom Allah has given those adornments, by spending them in the way of Allah, giving to Allah what Allah gave, their rank in the Hereafter they raise. That is what is in man. Man should sometimes compare himself with created beings. In this case, if he can use his reason, that he is a (?) in this universe, that of what Allah created he can take nothing to the Hereafter, but only with the actual deeds he has done, with the rewards and sins he has earned, he will go into the presence of Allah Almighty: the person who knows this is a human being. That person has known his helplessness, wanting to fulfil the duty of servanthood to his Lord; he is such a person. In this case Satan's temptation is foolish toward him.

"To My servant who knows Me," it says, "Satan's temptation is foolish," it says. In this case, ruled by Allah's verses, against the temptation Satan would give him, he has become as if clad in steel armor.

So in this case, Satan, and the imaginary, and the nafs, Hodja, Satan
