“Verily, the hell is the place that is promised to all of them (rebellers)!”
Tafsir
Allah is the Creator of the worlds and all this creation. There is no god or creator besides Him. Those who belittle the word of Allah, who has absolute power over the universe and His creatures, those who deny Allah and the Hereafter, those who mock His Prophets, those who hinder people from the path of Allah, those who forget their creation and live irresponsibly in pleasure, those who associate partners with Allah, those who worship other than Allah, Hell is the promised place for all of them. Allah never breaks His promises and no one is as faithful to His promises as Allah.
What is said in the video
Allah Almighty, in a verse of the Quran, says the following. Surely Hell is the place promised to all of them.
When it says all of them, it means people who, outside the religion of Islam, as non-Muslims, to the hereafter have passed on.
Here another meaning also emerges, but a subtle meaning; people may misunderstand it. When it is said that surely Hell is the place promised to all of them, that non-Muslims will enter Hell while Muslims will not enter Hell, such a meaning might be understood.
Rather than understanding it that way, its meaning is this. When it is said surely Hell is the place promised to all of them, it means the abode of those who as non-Muslims passed on to the hereafter and are the eternal people of Hell, that is what it means. Even though a Muslim too may enter Hell as his punishment, it is not his eternal property and place. He will come out of there. Since this world is the likeness and shadow of the hereafter, just as people who go to prison are not included there in life imprisonment and live a temporary prison life, they are set apart from those serving life sentences.
Life imprisonment means staying in that prison until the end of one's life. So when it is said Hell is the place promised to them, promised to all of them, the verse about non-Muslims remaining eternally in Hell clearly comes forth and tells us this plainly. Yes, it is Allah who brought the worlds and all these existing things into being. Besides Him there is neither a god nor a creator. Those who make light of the word of Allah, who has absolute power over the universe and His creatures, who deny Allah and the hereafter, who mock His prophets, who turn people from the way of Allah, who, forgetting their creation, in pleasure and amusement live (?), those who ascribe partners to Allah, who worship others besides Allah, surely Hell is the place promised to all of these.
Allah never breaks His promise, and no one can be as true to his promise as Allah. Yes, so since this worldly life is a temporary place of trial and a place of lodging, of (?) enjoyment, of lodging, if a person exchanges the eternal abode of bliss for this temporary lodging abode, for the (?) abode of enjoyment, in the end he will suffer loss.
