Translation

Vow to that; the Prophets before you were also mocked. But the mockers are encompassed by which they mock.

Tafsir

You will not find any difference in the character of people who disbelieve in Allah (swt) towards Allah (swt). Because they are disbelievers in Allah, whenever Allah (swt) sends them a Prophet and a Book that introduces Him, they immediately disbelieve in Allah and mock His Prophets.

In this regard, Allah (swt) informs us of the state of the people of the past by saying, 'By His Essence, whenever We send a Prophet to them, they ridicule him.

And whichever people transgressed by ridiculing their Prophet, those who ridiculed their Prophet were overtaken by that which they ridiculed. They perished in their homeland, either by a shout, or by a rain of stones, or by the fire of the Abyssinians, or by the fire of the Abyssinians, or by the earth crashing together, or by a deluge, like a crop that has been sown, or like a fire that has been extinguished.

This is the punishment of those who mock Allah and His Messengers in this world. In the Hereafter, it is everlasting torment and torment in the bonds of fire from before them and behind them. The punishment of this world is nothing compared to the Hereafter. Allah shows people what the torment of Hell will be like by giving them some hardships and afflictions in this world. He shows how a pain or a disease that he cannot endure in this world can be endured in the Hereafter in an infinite and eternal way. In the worldly realm, man is freed from this pain and suffering through death. In the Hereafter, there is neither death nor relief from this pain and suffering. May Allah protect us from such a fate.

What is said in the video

Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 41. Indeed: Allah swears by His own Being, saying, Indeed, the prophets before you were also mocked. That is, I swear that the prophets I sent before you were mocked like this as well. So do not grieve because they mock you. Yes.

Indeed, the prophets before you were also mocked. But that which they mocked engulfed those who mocked them, He says. Why? Since they denied you and opposed My command, just as the (?) they did went to waste, their denial surrounded them on all sides; tomorrow at the Great Court, in My presence, together with what they did, they will be punished. Yes. In the character of people who deny Allah, toward Allah Almighty, you will not find any difference. You will not find one. That is, in the character of people who deny Allah, toward Allah Almighty, you will not find any difference. That is, these people are all roughly of the same character as one another.

Because they deny Allah, whenever Allah Almighty sends them a prophet and a book that make Him known, just as they immediately deny Allah, they likewise mock their prophets, (?). Yes.

Therefore Allah Almighty, concerning the state of past peoples, swearing by His own Being: Indeed, whenever We send them a prophet, they mock him; and so He informs us of their state. What do they say? Tales of the ancients, they say. What else do they say? This one has gone astray, he is possessed, they say. What else do they say? Look, he abandons so many gods and worships one single god, they say. Oh, how nicely they display and describe their own foolishness. Yes. Whichever people overstepped the bounds by mocking their prophet, those who mocked their prophets were engulfed by that which they mocked.

Either by a blast, or a rain of stones, or the Ababil birds' siccin, which is called hellfire, or the lands crashing into one another, or a flood, they were destroyed; like a mown crop or an extinguished fire, in their homelands they perished and were gone. This is the punishment in this world of those who mock Allah and His prophets. In the abode of the hereafter, they are, within a band of fire in front of and behind them, in eternal punishment and torment. The punishment of this world is as nothing compared to the hereafter. By giving people certain hardships and calamities in this world, Allah shows how the punishment of hell will be.

A pain or an illness he cannot bear in this world, in the hereafter, endlessly and eternally, how could he endure it? This He shows. In this world, man is freed from this pain and suffering by death. In the hereafter, however, there is neither death nor release from this pain and suffering. May Allah protect us from such an end.
