Maryam 75: Say; “(Within their given life span) Rahman (Allah the Merciful) gives time to whoever has gone astray. When they finally see the punishment, the Hour (the Day of Judgment) that was promised to them, they will know whose place (and status) is worse and whose army is weaker.”

Translation

Say; “(Within their given life span) Rahman (Allah the Merciful) gives time to whoever has gone astray. When they finally see the punishment, the Hour (the Day of Judgment) that was promised to them, they will know whose place (and status) is worse and whose army is weaker.”

Tafsir

Say: Whoever is in error, Allah, the Most Merciful, gives him respite (within his lifetime). The meaning of this Verse is that Allah (swt) says in another Verse: "If you had been caught immediately for the evil you have done, you would not have found a single living creature roaming the earth".

So, every soul has come to the realm of property in accordance with its covenant with Allah, to keep Him as a witness. Allah also gives respite to those who are in error within a certain lifetime. During this lifetime, the person keeps himself as a witness to Allah, to himself and to those around him. When he reaches the Hereafter, on the Day of Reckoning, he will have nothing to say to Allah for what he has done. According to the verse (what you do is the recompense of your two hands), every soul will be rewarded for what it has done.

Those who make bad covenants with Allah (swt), those who do not recognize Allah in the Hereafter while living in this world, those who act according to the verse (they betrayed me too), those who dictate their destiny according to their own will, are in a state of heart unrest. In this respect, all people who do not believe in Allah and the Hereafter are restless and their hearts are in disarray. They themselves are in torment. Such people, in order to relieve their own restlessness and to get rid of it for a moment, run after drinking, gambling and lust, leaving themselves exposed to darkness and swamps in this mortal world, increasing their restlessness even more.

When such people realize that Allah's promise is true, they will not only live in this world without peace and suffer their punishment, but after the Day of Judgment, in the Hereafter, when they see that Allah's promise is true, they will realize that their position and status is worse, that their place is Hell, that their soldiers are weaker, that people who deny Allah and the Hereafter, who boast of their lineage, who boast of a large congregation, who see themselves as powerful, who boast of their children and well-being, will realize that their pride in their children and well-being will not benefit them. Their repentance will not benefit them. Then they will realize that those who boast of their position and authority, their children and well-wishers, have no value in the sight of Allah. These are the ones whose soldiers are weak.

What is said in the video

Verse 75 is a verse that is interpreted wrongly. Let us first read its wrong version. The wrong one: Maryam Surah, verse 75.

Well.

Whoever is in error, may the Most Merciful Allah grant him respite. Either what was promised to them, either the punishment, when before the believers they are defeated, or when they see the Hour, they will learn who is worse in position and rank and weaker in soldiers. Now here it says: say, whoever is in error, may the Most Merciful Allah grant him respite. Now: say, whoever is in error, the Most Merciful Allah, to him, grants respite to people within their lifetime. However, not "respite to him", not "the misguided one". He grants him respite within people's lifetime. Finally, when they see what was promised to them, the punishment or the Hour, they will learn who is worse in position and rank and weaker in soldiers.

Say: whoever is in error, Allah grants him respite within his lifetime. From this verse, (?) Allah Almighty says in another of His verses: if, for the evils you have done, you were seized right away, not a single living being walking on earth would you find, He says. So every soul, to hold itself as witness according to the covenant it gave to Allah, has come to the world of mulk. Within a person's lifetime, Allah Almighty, so that he can hold himself as witness to himself, to his surroundings and to Allah Almighty, has given him a certain lifespan. Within that set lifespan everyone will prove themselves.

Once the proof is complete, his life ends anyway. He passes on to the hereafter. So every soul, to hold itself as witness according to the covenant it gave to Allah, has come to the world of mulk. Allah also grants respite to those in error, within a certain lifespan. Within this lifespan a person holds himself as witness before Allah, himself and his surroundings. When he passes on to the hereafter, on that Day of Reckoning, for what he did, to Allah Almighty he will have nothing to say. According to the verse "This is what you have done, the recompense of your (?)", every soul will see the recompense of what it did.

Those who gave Allah Almighty a bad covenant, while living in the world, those who in the realm of the hereafter did not recognize Allah, those who act according to the verse "they betrayed Me too", those who had their destinies written according to their own wishes, are in this unrest of heart. That is, these people, toward Allah Almighty, as (?), that is, as non-recognition, saying "I do not recognize You", recognizing the Lord of their own imagination, people who made their covenant that way are in an unrest of heart. For this reason all people who do not believe in Allah and the hereafter are restless, their hearts scattered.

They themselves are also in a torment. Such people, to relieve their unrest and to be free of this unrest even for a moment, run after drink, gambling and lust. Leaving themselves (?) to darkness and swamps in this transient world, they increase their unrest even more. So, Allah's promise being true, such people, who both suffer their punishment by living restless in this world, and, after the Hour, in the realm of the hereafter, when they see that Allah's promise is true — what is it, that Allah's promise is true? When they see that resurrection after death is true, that the children and family they took pride in bring them no benefit, they will realize it. Their regret will bring them no benefit.

That is when those praised for their position and rank, for their children and family, will see that in Allah's sight they have no value. These are the ones whose soldiers are weak.
