Translation

Here, help and friendship belong to Allah, the True One. And Allah is the One whose reward is the best and who gives the best of outcomes.

Tafsir

It is because people cannot find Allah and the truth on their own that Allah comes to their rescue. No one but Allah can provide the help and friendship that man deserves. This help and friendship is reserved for Allah. Whoever seeks refuge in Allah, recognizes Him as Creator and Owner, believes in Him as Lord of the worlds, and has a firm belief in the Hereafter, Allah is the Savior and Friend of such people.

Allah is the best rewarder. The rewards that people receive in this world remain in this world and do not reach Allah. But if a person does good deeds for the sake of Allah and strives for Allah's pleasure and gains the closeness of Allah, this is the greatest reward. With this reward in the Hereafter, he will earn eternal paradise.

It is Allah who also gives the best fate. For Allah is the Owner of the worlds and is One in His Essence. He has neither a partner nor a helper. Allah is the Possessor of justice. He will give them their rewards and their recompense without any injustice to anyone.

Allah is the sovereign. There is no one who can change His judgment. If, while living in this world, a person obeys the commands and prohibitions of Allah (swt), strives for the sake of Allah (swt) with his wealth and his life, treats the poor and the orphan well, and earns the pleasure of Allah (swt), then such people will be victorious and will attain Paradise, which is the best outcome that Allah (swt) will give. Because Allah's promise is true. Allah does not go back on His promise.

What is said in the video

In verse 44 of Surah Al-Kahf: Here, help and friendship belong to Allah, the True, alone. He is the best in reward, and the one who gives the best outcome is again He. Since people cannot find Allah and the right path on their own, Allah comes to people's aid. Apart from Allah, no one can provide a person true help and at the same time friendship. This help and friendship belong to Allah alone. Whoever takes refuge in Allah, knows Him as the Creator and his owner, and as the Lord of the worlds believes in Him, and firmly believes in the Hereafter, Allah is for such people the saviour and friend.

It is Allah who is best in reward. The rewards people receive in this world remain in this world. They do not reach Allah. But if a person does good deeds for Allah and works to earn Allah's pleasure, and gains Allah's nearness, then this is the greatest reward. With this reward he has received, he gains eternal Paradise in the world of the Hereafter. It is also Allah who gives the best outcome. Because Allah is the owner of the worlds and one in His essence. He has neither a partner nor a helper. Allah is just. Without wronging anyone, He gives them their rewards and wages in full, without letting them go to waste.

Allah is the Possessor of judgment. There is no one to change His judgment either. If a person, while living in this world, observes Allah Almighty's commands and prohibitions, makes jihad with his wealth and his life for Allah, treats the destitute and the orphan well, and gains Allah's pleasure, then such people have attained victory and have obtained the gardens of Paradise, the best outcome that Allah Almighty will give. Because Allah's promise is true; Allah does not break His promise. Because He says: who is more faithful to his word than Allah?
