Al-Kahf 48: And all of them, one by one, will be brought to the presence of your Lord. Verily, you will come to Us in the shape in which We first created you. But you thought that We did not appoint a time for you (in which the promises that were made to you would come true).

And all of them, one by one, will be brought to the presence of your Lord. Verily, you will come to Us in the shape in which We first created you. But you thought that We did not appoint a time for you (in which the promises that were made to you would come true).
Tafsir
On that Day of Judgment they will all be in rows. (wakaluntum al-aswajan selasa) all the descendants of the descendants of the descendants of the descendants of the descendants of the descendants of the descendants of the descendants of the descendants of the descendants of the descendants of the descendants of the descendants of the descendants of the descendants. And when He said, "I am your Lord" in Kalu Bela, all human beings were in the state of spirits. The human being has put on the body's garment in the worldly realm. In this respect, when He says, "You have come to us in the form in which you were first created," it means that we will be gathered before Allah with our spirits, again in three parts and without the disguise of a body.
In the Hereafter, people are already in the Hereafter with souls. In the Hereafter, they will not take on the guise of a body. They will enter Paradise or Hell with their souls. The bodies given to human beings are to ensure their physical appearance in the world. As we have explained this in the previous Verses, we will elaborate on this in the following Verses. For example, the verses in the Qur'ân al-karim, "We resurrect you twice and kill you twice", "When you come to rest with a driver", "When the souls are mated", "You are being returned to the first creator", will be explained when the time comes and it will be proved with these verses that people do not enter heaven and hell with their bodies. The gathering of people in the presence of Allah in the way in which they were first created is the gathering of people in the presence of Allah in the form of spirits without the disguise of bodies.
People! They thought that a certain time would not come when Allah (swt) would fulfill His will. That is, the Day of Judgment will not come and the Hereafter will not come again. People who have these thoughts, if Allah exists, I am a beloved servant of Allah, He will accept me with my mistakes and what I have done. Because that is how He created me. If I were to go to hell, they say, I would be tormented for no more than a few days. In rebellion against Allah (swt), they invent gods according to their own minds and seek help from them. They associate partners with Allah.
These are the people who deny the Hereafter, thinking that there will be no resurrection and no questioning. They are the ones who listen to the temptations of Satan by indulging in nafs. They are the people who make the devil, their enemy, their friend. When they realize that Allah's promise is true, their delusions will continue in the Hereafter. Even though they are confronted with the truth, they will still think that they will be saved, still waiting for their gods, which their own minds have made comprehensive. These are the ones who will spend eternity in hell.
What is said in the video
Surah Al-Kahf, verse 48: And they have all been brought before your Lord in rows. Indeed, you have come to Us as We created you the first time. He says, "So We turn you back into your first form of creation," doesn't He. What does He say? We turn you back into your first form of creation. The word of Allah Almighty is both outward and inward. The first worldly form of creation is weak and powerless. When we grow old, we are likewise turned back into a weak and powerless form. In the hereafter, that is, after tasting death, after soul and body have separated, in the realm of lahut one is turned back into the form we had when He first created us as souls.
What does He say? And they have all been brought before your Lord in rows. Indeed, you have come to Us as We created you the first time. You have come to Us as spirit, nafs and life, He says. You have returned to Us. The outward world is over.
The body you rode as a mount is gone too. That body-mount too will bear witness about you, He says.
Yet you thought that We had not set a time for what you were promised to come true, didn't you, He says. On that day of gathering, they have all formed rows. All the (?), the generations descended from one another, have become three groups. Indeed, you have come to Us as We created you the first time. Allah Almighty created our souls in the realm of lahut, and at Qalu Bala, when He said to us, "I am your Lord," all people were in the form of souls. Man put on the garment of the body in the earthly world. In this respect, His saying "you have come to Us in the form in which you were first created" means, again in three groups and without being clothed in the garment of the body, we will be gathered with our souls in Allah's presence, we say.
Indeed, in the hereafter people are everlasting as souls. In the hereafter they will not be clothed in the garment of the body. They will enter the highest paradise or hell as souls. The bodies given to man, the bodies given to man, are to provide his outward appearance in the earthly world. Just as we described this event in the previous verses, in the verses further on we will explain it in detail. For example, in one verse: We bring you to life twice and make you die twice. When you come into the presence with a driver, when the souls are paired, you are returned to (?). The verses will be explained when their time comes, and that people do not enter paradise and hell with the body will be proven by these verses.
So people being gathered in the presence as they were first created means being gathered, without being clothed in the garment of the body, as souls, in the presence of Allah Almighty. People had thought that a set time in which Allah Almighty's right and law (?) would be realized would not come. You know, what is this? Will we be brought back to life after we die? Their saying: is there life after death? That is, the Day of Resurrection will not come, and the thing called the hereafter will never come true. Their saying: sir, will these rotting bones of ours be brought to life again? So people with these thoughts say: if Allah exists, I am a servant whom Allah loves, He will accept me with these mistakes of mine, with what I have done.
Because He created me like this; even if I were to enter hell, no punishment would touch me except for a few days, they say; showing (?) toward Allah Almighty, they invent gods as far as their own minds can encompass, and expect help from them. They ascribe partners to Allah.
These are people who, falling into the assumption that the Day of Resurrection will not come and there is no questioning either, deny the hereafter. Carried away by the desires of the nafs, they listen to Satan's temptation. They are people who take Satan, their enemy, as a friend. When they see and face that Allah's promise is true, still these fantasies of theirs will continue in the hereafter too. Despite facing the realities, they will still, waiting for the gods their own minds encompass, think that they will be saved. These are the ones destined for hell forever. Yes.
