Translation

Today, I have given them the return, for their patience. They have truly achieved salvation.”

Tafsir

Allah will say to the inhabitants of Hell: "Those whom you mocked and despised, those who believed in Allah and the Hereafter, I have given them today the reward of their patience in the face of your oppression, that is, I have placed them in Paradise and granted them what they desired.

Why do people obey Allah (swt)? People should use their intellect to realize that all this creation did not come out of nowhere, that it has an owner and a creator, and that Allah, the creator, has told people that there is no other God but Himself, that Allah is the sovereign of property, and that He did not create people irresponsible and unattended, Since He has declared that He created mankind and jinn to worship Him and that He will give great rewards in Paradise to those who obey Him and punish those who disobey Him, people worship accordingly, believing in Allah and the Hereafter and the resurrection after death, in order to earn Paradise, which is their will from Allah. Allah will show those who obeyed Allah as examples to the people of Hell and inform them that His Word and His Promise are true, that those who obeyed have attained their goal, and that you, by denying Allah and the Hereafter, are destined for Hell, where Allah's Word is true.

What is said in the video

Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 111. Today I have rewarded them for their patience. Whom? The Muslims. The Muslims; they were patient. I have rewarded them for their patience. They are truly the ones who attain their wish. How does a person attain their wish? What does a young man say when it comes to wishes? "If only I could get married," right? A young girl also says, "If only I could get married too." They attain their wish. Did they get married? Wish. That is, their desires and wishes came true. He attained his wish. Someone says, "Oh, if only I had a car." He finds the money, buys the car and attains his wish.

People say, "You got your wish, you bought your car." So here, granting a wish means a person's desire and wish becoming reality. Here too Allah Almighty says: Today I have rewarded them for their patience. What were they patient about? The reward my Lord will give me in the hereafter — so that I may receive that reward, by doing in this world what my Lord said, and with what befalls me, with what befalls me from Allah, in return for my patience. How will you be patient? By the verse in which Allah says a burden you cannot bear is put on no one's back — if you are patient according to it, He will show you to other people as an example as well.

And in the hereafter, in return for your patience, the Paradise you longed for will be yours. Yes. Today I have rewarded them for their patience. They are truly the ones who attain their wish, it says. That is, they are the ones who obtain what they longed for. Allah Almighty will say in answer to the people of Hell: Those you mocked and looked down on, the people who believed, who believe in Allah and the hereafter — today I have given them the reward for their patience in the face of your oppression. That is, I have settled them in Paradise and granted them their wishes, He will say.

Yes.

Why do people obey Allah Almighty? Using their reason, people grasp that all these perfections could not have come about by themselves, that they have an owner and a Creator; and since the Creator, Allah, has told people that there is no other god besides Him, that sovereignty over all dominion belongs to Allah, that He did not create people unaccountable and aimless, that He created humans and jinn to worship Him, and that He will give great rewards in Paradise to those who obey Allah and punish those who do not obey, people accordingly believe in Allah, the hereafter and resurrection after death and worship to earn Paradise, which is what they wish for from Allah.

So Allah Almighty will show the people of Hell those who obey Allah as examples, showing that His word and His promise are true, that those who obeyed have attained their wish, and that you, by denying Allah and the hereafter and that Allah's word is true, have sought Hell — this He will make known to them.
