Say; “Become either stones or iron!”
Tafsir
Those who deny Allah and the Hereafter deny that there is no resurrection after death. Therefore, when these people sarcastically say to the Prophet (SAW) that they deny the resurrection after death, which they think is impossible according to their own minds, and that we will be resurrected after we have become stinking soil, it is because they are a people who are incomprehensible because they deny Allah. Although they have knowledge about Allah, they still speak in this way because they disobey Allah in their egoistic rebellion. Otherwise, they know that there is a God who created them. However, when they made a covenant with Allah in the spirit world, they could not believe that He is Allah because Allah created people close to His Essence. In this respect, they denied Allah. Since the same feelings are destined for them, they act with the same feelings in this world. They are people who expect Allah to appear to them in another form of greatness, in a form they imagine, and they think that they will be helped by obeying Him.
These people do not want to believe in Allah, the Creator of these worlds, because their feelings in the Hereafter are the same as their feelings in the Hereafter when they came to this world. All their rebellion and hatred is to oppose Allah. That is why they disbelieve. Therefore, even if these people were stones and iron, Allah (swt) addressed the Prophet (s.a.w.) and said, "Habibim, tell them, whether you are dull and unfeeling like stones or hard and strong like iron, you will surely taste death one day and you will be held to account before Allah. And with this you will buy the eternal abode of Hell.
What is said in the video
Surah Al-Isra, verse 50. Say, it says, say. To whom? To people, to those non-Muslims. Even if you were stone or iron, whatever you may be, We will still, it says, raise you in your former state. Those who deny Allah and the hereafter also deny that there will be resurrection after death. Therefore these people, to the Prophet (peace be upon him), with mocking words, denying resurrection after death, which by their own reason they see as impossible, saying "Will we be resurrected after we have become rotten earth?" comes from their being a people whose minds cannot grasp, since they deny Allah. Although they have knowledge about Allah, still, with their selfish rebellion, because they oppose Allah, these people speak this way.
Otherwise they too know that there is an Allah who created them. But in the realm of souls, when they made the covenant with Allah, since Allah created people close to His essence, people could not believe that He is Allah. For this reason they denied Allah. Since the same feelings were written for them as destiny, in the world too they act with the same feelings. They are people who expect Allah, in another grandeur, in a form they imagined, to manifest Himself to them, and who think that by obeying Him they will receive help from Him. Therefore they worship idols they make with their own hands.
And by shaping their idols into the forms they imagined, they put into it the soul of a god that is not (?). We don't worship the idols, we worship that soul, it says. Yes. Look at the lies they made up.
So when these people come into the world with their feelings from the hereafter realm, since in the world too their feelings from the hereafter realm are the same, they do not want to believe in Allah who created these worlds. All their rebellion and hatred is to oppose Allah, to stand against Him. Their denial is also because of this. Therefore, even if these people were stone and iron – that is, Allah Almighty, addressing the Prophet (peace be upon him): My Beloved, tell them: whether you are like stone, insensitive and unfeeling, or hard and solid like iron, surely one day you will taste death and be called to account in the presence of Allah.
And in these states of yours you will buy the eternal abode of Hell. Yes.
