Translation

Those who spend from their possessions night and day, openly and in private for good, their reward is with their Lord. There is no fear for them, and they will not be saddened.

Tafsir

Those who spend their wealth for the sake of Allah day and night, secretly and openly. The reward of such people is with Allah. Allah (swt) declares that such people are of great value in Allah's sight, and they spend their wealth day and night for the sake of Allah and for the sake of Allah's servants. Such people are people who are devoted to Allah. Those who know Allah closely.

People who do not look back at their worldly possessions, who take as much as they need and give away the excess. These are the people who invest in the Hereafter with their hands for each of the wealth they give away, and who invest in the Hereafter in advance, according to the verse produced by their Lord, who says, "It is like a grain that produces seven ears of grain, and in each ear there are a hundred grains". When they reach the Hereafter, when they meet there the excess of what they have sent, they will say, 'I wish I had worked harder and given to Allah's servants for Allah's sake.

When such people, those who are in love with Allah, pass on to the hereafter with the love of Allah in their hearts, Allah will welcome such people with a smiling face on the Day of Judgment, in that time of fear and terror, when everyone calls their nafsi nafsi and parents do not recognize their children, Allah will welcome such people with a smiling face, and they will not have any sorrow or blemish there. They will not grieve.

The meaning of "not to grieve" is that Allah will grant them the right of intercession and these people will ask Allah for their relatives out of the terror of that day. In order to please their hearts, Allah (swt) will grant them what they want from their relatives who passed away as Muslims.

Such people will be given the right of intercession by Allah (swt) from seven to seventy people according to their rank. These are the people whose hearts will be satisfied with saving their relatives, and who will be the recipients of the verse of Allah (swt) which says that no sorrow will befall them.

What is said in the video

To verse 274 of Surah Al-Baqarah. Those who spend their wealth by night and by day, secretly and openly, on good, their reward is with Allah. There is no fear for them, and they will not grieve.

Yes. If you were to live these verses, your eyes would (?), your nose would sting and your eyes would fill with tears. Those who spend their wealth by night and by day, secretly and openly, on good, these are people who have a reward with Allah; for them there is no fear, that is, these are the people to whom Allah Almighty says in Surah Ad-Duha: 'We will give to you and you will be pleased.' What? The station of intercession. 'We will give to you and you will be pleased.' So there is no fear for them. They will be received with a smiling face. They will be received sincerely. For them, they will not grieve either.

Allah Almighty will give them the right of intercession. And when they save those they love from punishment, their grief will turn into (?). So, can you understand the value of giving charity in the way of Allah? But in the right place, in the right place, everything in its right place. Such people are these: thirsty for knowledge, strong in faith. People who want to give charity for Allah and to spend their wealth on good; what sacrifices they made. Now those sacrifices are in others' hands, working against the religion of Islam. Yes.

What does Allah Almighty say? Those who spend their wealth by night and by day, secretly and openly, on good, their reward is with Allah. Yes. There is no fear for them, and they will not grieve. Those who spend their wealth for Allah by night and by day, secretly and openly: such people's reward is in Allah's sight. What does this mean? That is, aren't our rewards, our good deeds, in Allah's sight?

Here, because there is no Turkish equivalent, because Arabic has no Turkish equivalent, the meaning here, although by the rewards and sins of all people, so that they are not wronged, justly, against their own selves, I will give, and (?), these have a separate place in My sight. They have a privilege. These are more distinct.

He will give all of it, of course. The rewards and sins of all people. But such people are different in My sight. You know, for example, someone comes to visit, comes from outside like this. Let's say I am a governor. They come to visit me, they come. And one person I know, three people, five people, have also come from other cities. But what do I say? 'You stand on this side. You go over to this side, I will talk with you separately.' That is the privilege. Those who are friends of their Lord on earth. Those who are intimate with Him. In the hereafter, (?) this way, He says. In My sight. That is the meaning.

Their reward is with Allah. There is no fear for them. For such people. Because they became intimate with Him already while in the world. Can there be that fear? He will receive them with a smiling face. And to those who were friends of their Lord while in the world, of course there, as His guests, now they have gone into their Lord's presence, Allah Almighty honours them, (?) from those He loves. Reward. Yes, just as sultans in the old days gave feasts in Ramadan, feasts, they fed them, gave them drink. And as they left, to them they gave a purse of gold each as 'tooth rent', a purse each as a gift.

Oh, they would rejoice. Yes, the Sultan of sultans does the same. This world is a likeness and shadow of the hereafter.

Those who spend their wealth for Allah by night and by day, secretly and openly: such people's reward is in Allah's sight. Allah Almighty, declaring that such people have great value in His sight, those who give in charity the wealth Allah gave to Allah's servants for Allah by night and by day, such people are people who long for Allah, who know Allah Almighty with certainty, we said. These are the people we call friends of Allah.

The goods of the world they do not look back at, they take as much as they need and distribute the rest. They are people who, with every bit of wealth they distribute, invest in the hereafter with their own hands, and according to the verse where it says, like a grain produced by their Lord that grows seven ears, in each ear a hundred grains, are people who invest in the hereafter in advance. These.

Apart from this, these, because they are friends of Allah, with Allah Almighty constantly are in a state of (?). In the world of the heart they are in longing with Him. You know, in His verse: 'I have such servants that neither any buying and selling nor any trade keeps them from My remembrance,' He says.

Such friends of Allah, people who know they are tested with the people Allah created, who meet people's needs and, as their faces smile, pray to their Lord, 'for (?) this by my hand', and give praise and glory to Allah Almighty; these people, who in this way attain Allah Almighty's mercy, whose ranks are high.

When they pass on to the hereafter and meet there more than they sent, 'if only I had worked more and given charity to Allah's servants for Allah,' they will say. These people.

Yes.

So such people, who long for Allah, with the love of Allah in their hearts, when they pass on to the hereafter, (?) to Allah Almighty, on that Day of Gathering, when everyone says 'myself, myself', and when mother and father do not recognise their child, in that time of fear and terror, Allah will receive such people with a smiling face. There, neither grief nor any stain will touch them. They will not grieve either.

In the sense of not grieving, Allah will give them the right of intercession, and these people will ask Allah, pleading, for their relatives from the terror of that day. And Allah Almighty, to please their hearts, will grant them what they ask for of their relatives who were Muslims and passed on to the hereafter. To such people Allah Almighty, according to their own ranks, will give the right of intercession for from seven people up to seventy people. They will be pleased by saving their relatives.
