Translation

(Remember) Ismaeel, Enoch (Idris) and Isaiah (Dhul’kifl) too! They all were persevered patiently.

Tafsir

Allah (swt) intended that His righteous and patient servants, the Prophets who guided people in the way of Allah (swt) and showed their deeds as an example to people for as long as the world lasts, should also be remembered. In this respect, with the Holy Qur'an, which He sent to the Prophet (PBUH) by revelation, even though He told the Prophet (PBUH) to remember them, since the Qur'an has come down to all the worlds, He is saying to all who believe in the Qur'an to remember them. As Allah has mentioned His beloved people, Prophets and Prophets in the Qur'an, there are many other names of Allah's servants on earth, who are living as long as the world lasts, besides the Prophets and Prophets of the past, whose names are encrypted in the Qur'an but which we do not know.

What is said in the video

Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 85: Ishmael, Idris and Dhul-Kifl, remember them too. All of them were among the patient. Allah Almighty — His righteous and patient servants, who guide people on Allah's path, and who, as long as the world stands, shows their deeds to people as an example, Allah Almighty has willed that these prophets, the prophets, too be remembered. For this reason, with the Quran He sent by revelation to the Prophet (peace be upon him), although He tells the Prophet (peace be upon him) "remember these too", since the Quran was sent down to all the worlds, to everyone who believes in the Quran, to everyone, He is saying: remember these too.

People whom Allah loves: just as He mentions messengers and prophets in the Quran, besides past messengers and prophets who are in the Quran in coded form and whom we do not know, there are, as long as the world stands, many more living names, servants of Allah with duties on earth. Now something like this comes to our mind. Which of these prophets are we to remember, and how are we to remember them? Such a question sticks in our mind. How shall we remember them? It is very simple. Allah Almighty has made nothing hard for us. Allah does not wish hardship in religion anyway. Do not make religion hard, make it easy, it says.

So how shall we remember so many prophets?

All prophets are true, and all the prophets sent by Allah — what do we say?

How shall we remember all the prophets? All the prophets sent by Allah are true. We believed in all of them, we had faith — there, we have remembered them. See, Allah Almighty wishes no hardship at all for us. None.
