(They do so) being ungrateful for what We have given to them. So, enjoy benefits for a while. Soon, you will know the Truth.
Tafsir
Those who were ungrateful for the blessings that Allah (swt) had bestowed upon them, who used to cry out to Allah (swt) when they were in distress, when they were in trouble, when they were in distress, and when Allah (swt) helped them, when Allah (swt) helped them, when Allah (swt) brought them to prosperity, as if nothing had happened, as if these people were not the ones who were in distress, their cry to Allah (swt) has been forgotten, and they have gone back to their old perversion. They have turned their backs on Allah and have taken their place beside their idols which they associate with Allah.
This is what these people do in order to be ungrateful to Allah. Allah (swt) says to them, 'Then enjoy yourselves for a little while longer,' meaning that they will live out their destiny that He has written for them in the lifetime that He has given them. In the end their return will be to Allah. As long as people live in this world, Allah (swt) gives each person the time to fill their lives with good and bad lives, according to their own desires, in order to keep themselves as witnesses to Allah (swt).
(But soon you will know the truth). Every soul will taste death. Human life in this world is but a few hours compared to the day of the Hereafter. In this respect, Allah's telling people that they will soon see is a notification and a threat from Allah to such people of the punishment they will suffer in the Hereafter after the Day of Reckoning, for such ungrateful and unbelieving people.
What is said in the video
Surah An-Nahl, verse 55: we have reached it.
They do so in order to be ungrateful for what We have given them. So enjoy yourselves a while longer. But soon you will know the truth, it says.
That is, non-Muslims; here the address is to non-Muslims. What does it say? They do so in order to be ungrateful for what We have given them. That is, such is their covenant, it says. They will surely do so, it says. Because no one can change his covenant. No one can change a person's destiny. Yes. So enjoy yourselves a while longer. That is, enjoy the world a while longer within your lifetime, come to a state where you fully prove yourselves. When you have fully proved yourselves, you, to yourselves, what kind of person you are (?); according to the verse, until they have proved themselves, Allah Almighty: We will, from your world, bless you. So you too benefit a while longer.
Then: but soon you will know the truth. When it says soon, perhaps we will lie under the earth for millions of years, until the time we are resurrected. Where does "soon" come from here? Or, let's say there are still hundreds of years until the Hour comes. Where does "soon" come from here? Look where "soon" comes from.
When we pass on to the hereafter... It says enjoy a while longer, doesn't it, but soon you will know. (?) When we die and our bodies are in the grave, when our souls are raised to the world of barzakh, when the Hour comes and the heavens become other heavens and the earth another earth, when the world is brought forth completely flat, when we sprout from there like plants and rise, you will ask one another: How long did we lie under the earth? Some of you, it says, a day; (?) we lay a little less than a day, you will say, it says. The ones on duty who keep count of how long you lay under the earth: it asks the noble angels.
So Allah Almighty, who creates time within time... Perhaps we will lie under the earth for millions of years and (?) wait. How long you lay under the earth, the count of it, it says, the angels on duty (?). This is what it means by "soon". For Allah nothing is far. In this case, if any person is deceived by the few hours of pleasure and enjoyment of this transient world, forgets Allah, associates partners with Him and is ungrateful, he will surely suffer the punishment for it on the Day of Judgment.
For what We have given them, they do so in order to be ungrateful; so enjoy a while longer, but soon you will know the truth, it says. Those who, for the blessings Allah Almighty gave them, are ungrateful; who, when in hardship, when a calamity befalls them, say "Allah" and open their palms, who ask Allah for help: when Allah's help reaches these people and He brings them to salvation, as if nothing had happened, as if these were not the people who fell into hardship, their opening their palms and pleading with Allah is forgotten; to their old error again they have quickly returned. They have turned their backs on Allah and, beside the idols they associate as partners with Allah, taken their place.
This is how these people act in order to be ungrateful to Allah. Yes. Allah Almighty speaks to them (?). By saying "So enjoy a while longer", it means that within a lifetime given to them they live out the destiny written for them. In the end their return will be to Allah. As long as they live in this world, so that people make themselves witnesses before Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty gives every person, by their own will, amid good and bad living, time to fill out their lifetimes.
Yes.
But soon you will know the truth. Every soul shall taste death. Compared to a day of the hereafter, a human's life in this world is no different from a few hours. Thus saying to man "soon you will see" is, for such ungrateful people who will depart without faith in Allah, in the hereafter, on the Day of Reckoning and after that Day of Reckoning, about the punishment they will suffer: it is Allah Almighty's notice and threat to these people.
