Translation

They are the ones who establish the prayer, pay obligatory alms and they believe in the hereafter with certainty.

Tafsir

Such soul-satisfied believers perform the prayer properly. That is, they pray with attention to the middle prayer. They pray in a state of awe in the presence of Allah (swt) and in contemplation of Him, surrendering their hearts to Him and asking Him alone.

Such believers give zakat as well as doing good deeds. When they give zakat, they do so with eagerness, as if they are handing over their wealth to Allah, the owner of the wealth, in peace, in surplus, to the poor and needy.

Thus, people whose souls are satisfied believe in the Hereafter with certainty. In this verse, Allah (swt) says that they believe with certainty because a soul that is contented is contented with the realization of manifestation. Those other than this are hesitant. Such people will never return to disbelief. Since they see the Hereafter as they see the unseen, they firmly believe in the existence of the Hereafter. In this respect, there is a difference between what people who are Muslims believe in the Hereafter and what these believers believe in the Hereafter.

Every Muslim has faith in the unseen. He is a believer. But he is always in doubt. Since his faith overcomes his doubt, he does not go out of Islam. As for those who are believers, since they have reached the Nafsi Mutmainnah, they have seen the Hereafter and have been blessed with Allah's Jannah, they have received the attributes of believers. There is a difference between the faith of people who are Muslims and the faith of a Muslim who has reached Nafs Mutmainnah. In the state of Nafs Mutmainnah, these believers are pure and clean people who are free from the masivas in their hearts, and they do good deeds for people. The rich fill their lives with their wealth, and those who do not have wealth give it away to those who do, helping people and performing acts of worship.

What is said in the video

The third verse of Surah An-Naml. Believers who perform the prayer rightly and give the zakat, and they the hereafter, in the hereafter, yes, they firmly believe in the hereafter, it says. So, such believers whose nafs has come to rest perform the prayer perfectly rightly. What does performing it perfectly rightly mean? They know: I am in the presence of my Lord. They do not wander around the marketplace much. Everything does come to mind, but they do not wander around the marketplace much. That is, they perform the prayer perfectly rightly. They are mindful of the middle prayer. That is, they perform it mindful of the middle prayer.

In the very presence of Allah Almighty, reflecting on this, surrendering their heart to Allah and asking from Him alone, they perform the prayer with khushu. Such believers, just as they do good deeds, also give the zakat. When giving zakat they eagerly, as if handing their wealth over to Allah, the owner of wealth, with peace of heart, give generously in charity to the poor and needy. So people whose nafs has become mutmainna also believe in the hereafter firmly. Allah Almighty saying "firmly" in this verse is because a nafs at rest has come to rest by witnessing divine manifestations; they believe firmly, He declares.

Everyone else is hesitant, hesitant, that is, they waver. Such people will never turn back to kufr. Since they see the hereafter outwardly (?), these are people who firmly believe in the existence of the realm of the hereafter. Therefore, between Muslims believing in the hereafter and these believers believing in the hereafter, there is a difference. Every Muslim has believed in the unseen. He is one of the people of faith. But he is in constant doubt. Since his faith overcomes his doubt, he does not leave Islam. The believers, however, since they have risen to the nafs al-mutmainna, see the realm of the hereafter, and since they have been honoured with the beauty of Allah Almighty, they have taken on the attribute of believer.

Between the faith of Muslims and the faith of a Muslim who has risen to the nafs al-mutmainna there is a difference. These believers at the nafs al-mutmainna, having freed their hearts from the masiwa, as pure and clean people, do good works for people. And the rich among them, with their wealth, giving to those who have none charity from their possessions, helping people and performing acts of worship, fill their lives. Yes.
