Translation

Now, exalt your Lord with all due Praises and be with those who prostrate (to your Lord, Allah).

Tafsir

Habibim, do not be troubled by those who mock and insult you. We are enough for you. So glorify your Lord with praise. Praise and adoration are reserved for Allah. For it is He who created the universe out of nothing and provides for every creation. Therefore, praise and thanksgiving belong to Allah. It is Allah who is worthy of worship and prostration.

What is said in the video

be left out. Don't say things like 'Can one even ask this?' Ask. Surah Al-Hijr, verse 98: Now glorify your Lord with praise and be among those who prostrate.

The Prophet (peace be upon him), whom He sent as a mercy to the worlds, He sent to perfect good character. In this case, again, what does Allah Almighty say to those who betray him? Now glorify your Lord with praise in the face of them. Whom? In the face of the idolaters. Tell them again that there is no god but Allah, He says. Glorify with praise. Say La ilahe illallah. Yes. Say Allahu Ekber. Nothing is greater than Allah. There is no god but Allah. Yes. And be among those who prostrate, He says. That is, among those who submit to their Lord, who join in prostration, who are servants of Allah. Do it in such a way that those who see you too (?) Yes.

My beloved, do not be distressed by those who insult you by mocking you. We are enough for you. Even if all

people, the whole world were on one side, if all turned their backs on you, say: Allah, the greatest of the heavens and the earth, (?) the Owner, is enough for me, (?).

So glorify your Lord with praise. Praise and glorification belong to Allah. Because He created the universe from nothing and gives sustenance to all He creates, so praise and thanks belong to Allah. It is Allah who is worthy of worship and salutation.
