Tafsir

Those who believe in Allah and the Hereafter, those who embrace the religion of Islam, those who judge by the judgments of Allah, those who are adorned with piety, these are the people who have believed in Allah. When these people are asked what Allah has sent down, they say, 'Allah has sent down good for us, a light to illuminate our way.

There are good rewards for those who behave well in this world. By good behavior, I mean those who are adorned with taqwa (taqwa), by ruling with Allah's Shari'ah, by reforming the soul, and by seeking Allah's pleasure, there are great rewards in this world as well as in the Hereafter. The reward in the Hereafter is better. Because the rewards of this world are temporary and the Hereafter is eternal.

(The abode of the owners of piety is indeed beautiful.) The people of piety are those who observe the lawful and unlawful. They seek Allah's pleasure and are kind to their relatives, relatives, spouses and friends. These people who get along well with them, because they seek Allah's pleasure in everything they do, Allah says to them, "My servant. That is, He says, "Ask and I will give you. For such people the abode of the Hereafter is indeed good and they will inherit the Gardens, the abode of eternal bliss.

What is said in the video

Surah An-Nahl, verse 30. When those who guard against evil are asked, "What has your Lord sent down?", they say, "He sent down good." Indeed, if a calamity was going to come and it does not, that is a good. Well, if your foot was going to hit a stone and it does not, that is a good. If a calamity was going to befall you and the charity you gave prevented it, that is a good. If it led you to dhikr, that is a good. If it led you to worship, it is a good because you are close to your Lord. Gaining the Hereafter is the greatest good. When those who guard against evil are asked, "What does your Lord send down?", they say, "He sends down good." For those who do good in this world there is a good reward.

And the abode of the Hereafter is better. Truly excellent is the abode of the God-fearing, it says. Who are the God-fearing? Those who have risen to the nafs al-mutmainna. The servants who are pleased with Allah Almighty, the servants who are pleased with Allah Almighty; these are servants pleased with Allah, they have adorned themselves with taqwa. They have attained (?). Those who believe in Allah and the Hereafter, who are honored with the religion of Islam, who are bound by Allah's rulings, those of taqwa and adorned with taqwa: these are people who have believed in Allah. When these people are asked what Allah has sent down, they say, "Allah has sent down to us good. He sent down a light, a radiance to illuminate our way." He sent down the Quran to us. He taught us what we did not know.

Yes. He gave us peace. With His verses He gave us life. For those who do good in this world there are good rewards. What is meant by doing good: for those who are bound by Allah's sharia rulings and adorned with taqwa, who seek Allah's pleasure by reforming the nafs, as in this world, so in the Hereafter there are great rewards. But the reward of the Hereafter is better. Because the reward of this world is temporary, while the Hereafter is everlasting.

Truly excellent is the abode of the God-fearing. People of taqwa are those who heed what is halal and haram. They observe Allah's pleasure and treat those close to them, their relatives, spouse and friends well. Because these people, who live in harmony with them, seek in everything they do Allah's pleasure, Allah says to them: Labbayk, My servant. That is, He says: You ask, and I will give it to you. The abode of the Hereafter of such people is truly beautiful, and of the gardens, the abode of eternal bliss, of the gardens they are the heirs.
