Ibrahim 14: (Oh you believers!), We will surely place you to that place after them. This is reserved for those who fear My status and who abstain from My threat.

A. Metin Saruhan · 3 April 2017 · Ibrahim

Translation

(Oh you believers!), We will surely place you to that place after them. This is reserved for those who fear My status and who abstain from My threat.

Tafsir

Allah (swt) says to those who believe in Allah and to His Prophets: "We will destroy those who seek to drive you out of your lands and transgress in injustice. We will settle you in your own homes after those wrongdoers.

There is also a good news here. It is pointed out that after the disbelievers forced the Prophet (pbuh) to migrate from Makkah to Madinah, the armies of Islam will enter Makkah and settle in Makkah.

This is for those who fear Allah and His station and avoid His threat. The meaning of the station of Allah here is the fear of the station of Allah (swt) by people who know that Allah (swt) is the Exalted, the All-Mighty, the All-Creating, the All-Powerful, the Almighty, that no creature can stand against the power of Allah (swt), that praise and adoration are reserved for Allah (swt) in His property, and that Allah (swt) is the One worthy of worship. Those who know that there is no other God but Him, and who avoid the threat of Allah (swt), fear Allah (swt), and as a result of their fear of Allah (swt), Allah (swt) protects such people and makes them superior to those who disbelieve. Allah's help is for those who fear Allah, for those who persevere in the way of Allah, for those who strive with their lives and their wealth, for those who have enough faith to give their lives to Allah in times of difficulty and hardship, for those who fight in the face of the enemy without becoming discouraged, for those who are stuck in the situation of the ancients until they say, "When will Allah's help arrive?" and do not move, and for those who long for the position of martyrdom.

What is said in the video

They made their own selves and those around them witnesses that they denied Allah.

We continue. Surah Ibrahim, verse 14 — Allah Almighty says this: And O believers! After them We will surely settle you in that land. That is, We will destroy them and settle you in their place. This is for those who fear My station and beware My threat. We will settle you in that land. Allah Almighty addresses the believers in Allah and His prophets. The people who want to drive you from your homeland and exceed the limits in oppression, We will destroy. After them, after those oppressors, We will settle you in your own homelands. Why does Allah Almighty destroy these people? After they have proven what kind of people they are, to give life to the generations coming after.

Lest those too, following these, away from their own covenant — because of their worldly, um, livelihood — obey them and, with full station, in the full sense, have difficulty finding their, um, station — to make it easy for them — Allah Almighty does not will oppression for people. He destroys that people, and with the others who come, Allah Almighty (?) people with His prophets. But not very long passes. Again, in worldly life, people begin idolatry and disbelief in their prophets. Thereupon verses come again. Although only a short time passed after the destroyed peoples, how they followed in their forefathers' footsteps and took the path they went, the verse says.

Yes. And we'll come to those, inshallah.

There is also good news here. It is indicated that after the disbelievers who forced the Prophet (peace be upon him) to emigrate from Mecca to Medina, the armies of Islam would enter Mecca and settle there. Yes. This is for those who fear Allah and Allah's station and beware His threat. The meaning of Allah's station here is: His majesty, His prevailing over everything, His creating from nothing, His possessing absolute power, no created being being able to stand against Allah's power, praise and glory in His dominion belonging to Allah, and people who know that worship is due to Allah fearing Allah Almighty's station, that is, His will.

Those who know there is no other god besides Him and beware Allah Almighty's threat — as a result of their fearing Allah, Allah Almighty protects such people and makes them superior over the deniers.

Allah's help to those who beware and fear Allah: those who stand firm on Allah's path, who wage jihad with their lives and wealth, who in hard and difficult moments, to give their lives to Allah, have enough faith, who before the enemy, without (?), fight, who in situations like those of the ancients, until they say "when will Allah's help arrive?", are hard-pressed and do not budge, and the people who long for the station of martyrdom — it is for them. Yes.

We're speaking (?), aren't we? It's nothing like their talk.
