Translation

They will say, “They (also) belong to Allah”. Say, “Won’t you abstain from Allah?”

Tafsir

Again, Allah (swt) Himself answers in their stead so that these people do not fall into disbelief. They will say that these are Allah's. Then tell them, 'Do you not fear Allah? Do you not fear Allah, Who is all-powerful and there is no other God but Him, Who gives life to all His creatures and feeds them and gives them food and drink and nourishment. How will you account for what you have done tomorrow in the Court-i Kübra, on the day of reckoning, in the presence of Allah?

What is said in the video

Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 87: They will say: These too belong to Allah. Then will you not fear Allah?

Allah Almighty, again, so that these people do not stray into denial, Himself answers in their place: They will say: These too belong to Allah. So say to them: Will you not fear Allah? Allah, who has power over everything, besides whom there is no other god, who gives life to all His creatures and feeds them, gives them drink and nourishes them – will you not fear Allah? Tomorrow at the Great Court, on this Day of Reckoning, before Allah, how will you account for what you have done? Yes. Every blessing you eat, every (?) life you live, the children, (?), the wealth given to you and property – are you yourself their owner, or do you own even an atom of your world? If that were so, he says to you, not even a seed of your world, the seed of an atom, would be given, he says.

In that case, if man were able to create even an atom, you, he says, would see to your own needs, and I, he says, they would give you nothing. But we are not able to create. We are in need of what the Creator has created.

We are in need of what our Lord has created. Through Him we find life. Through Him we live. And the final point we will reach is again His door. So if we eat and drink the blessings He gives and then set out to deny Allah, surely one day they will call us to account for it.
