Translation

This (punishment) will come to them unexpectedly, without them noticing.

Tafsir

Those who deny Allah, His Prophet and the Qur'an, in the disbelief in which they are immersed, buy an eternal torment in the eternal realm with a death that comes to them suddenly. May Allah grant us all the opportunity to obey Allah and His Prophet, to obey the Qur'an as the truth, to believe in Allah in the light of the Qur'an, and to migrate to the Hereafter with faith in Allah, while we are in this world, before we are destined for this torment.

What is said in the video

This punishment will come upon them without their being aware, all of a sudden. Surah Ash-Shu'ara, verse 202. Death is right at the tip of a person's nose. Walking along the road, a brick falls on your head and you're gone. Crossing the street, a car hits you and you're gone. Or, walking along normally, a heart attack comes and you pass away, you're gone. While asleep, you board a train, a bus; if you never get off again, may Allah's peace be upon you, you pass away, you're gone. Yes. Death comes to a person suddenly. Hodja, what is there to laugh at here? I mean, is death something to laugh at?

Come on, death is liberation. From the ills and the humiliation of the world. Liberation, liberation. But Hodja, Allah Almighty, I mean, the Prophet says, "Do not wish for death." We do not wish for death. But we laugh at those who flee from death.

He says that remaining in the world for a moment is better than lying under the earth for a thousand years. That is, if you say "Allah" once, he says, Allah, Allah Almighty, (?) creating you, he says, it is better than lying under the earth for a thousand years. You earn a reward, he says. But since no one in the world remains forever, according to His verse "Every soul shall taste death and to Me is your return," our stay as guests in the world will end and we will migrate to our true homeland. So those who long for those places and those who flee from them and long for the world say different things.

Yes.

Those who deny Allah Almighty, the Prophet and the Quran, Surah Ash-Shu'ara, verse 202: those who deny Allah Almighty, the Prophet and the Quran, amid the kufr into which they have sunk, by a death that suddenly comes upon them, on passing to the eternal world will have bought an endless punishment.

So, before those who seek this punishment, while still in this world, with obedience to Allah and His Prophet, and the Quran being the truth, with faith in Allah under its light, to migrate to the Hereafter, may Allah grant this to all of us.
