Translation

Don’t think that the deniers will incapacitate (Allah) on earth. Their destination is hell and how wretched a destination it is.

Tafsir

Those who disbelieve in Allah, His Messenger and the Hereafter, those who walk the earth in pride and arrogance, those who covet the worldly goods as if they will never die and make it a god for their souls, those who distinguish between classes of people and consider themselves superior to others, those who boast of their children and possessions, do they think that they can make Allah powerless on earth? Allah will complete His light until the Day of Resurrection. Every soul will taste death, and to Allah will be the final return. Those who deny the Day of Reckoning will be punished by Allah for what they have done in this world and will be sent to Hell for eternity. And hell is an evil place of return.

There is no creature that can render Allah incapable, Allah is the One who creates His creatures under His sovereignty and is the One who is sovereign over all creatures. The human beings and the jinn gathered together cannot harm Allah. In this respect, Allah is omnipotent.

What is said in the video

Surah An-Nur, verse 57. Do not think that those who disbelieve can render Allah powerless on earth. Their destination is Hell. What an evil destination, it says.

Allah Almighty says: even if humans and jinn gathered, they could not harm Allah. Yes. People who deny Allah, His Messenger and the hereafter, those who walk the earth with pride and arrogance, who, as if they would never die, covet worldly goods and make them the god of their nafs; those who, making class distinctions among people, see themselves as superior to others; who boast, drawing strength from their children and family: did they think they would render Allah powerless on earth? it says. Allah will complete His light until the Last Day. Every soul shall taste death. In the end, the return will be to Allah.

On that Day of Reckoning, those who disbelieve, as recompense for what they did in the world, incurring Allah's torment, will attain eternal Hell. And Hell, what an evil place of return it is, it says. What an evil resting place it is, it says. There is no created being that could render Allah powerless. Allah creates His creatures under His rule and is the One whose rule prevails over all beings. Even if the communities of humans and jinn gathered, they could not harm Allah. Therefore Allah has power over all things.
