Translation

Whether a man or a woman, whoever commits a salih deed, verily, We let them live a good life. And We give their returns with the best of what they were doing.

Tafsir

If a person, male or female, does good deeds, lives the religion of Islam, follows Allah's commands to the best of his or her ability, and attains the status of a believer, Allah will reward them for what they have done in this world by giving them a good life in this world and the best life in the Hereafter. Allah gives to such people until they are satisfied with Allah.

Allah loves people very much. Especially if one endures hardships in the world for the sake of Allah and does not complain to Allah, but accepts what comes from Allah and tries to gain Allah's pleasure, Allah will also show such people as an example to others.

What is said in the video

We have come to Surah An-Nahl, verse 97.

Male or female, whoever does good deeds as a believer, as a believer,

We will surely make him live a good life. How beautiful. Do you know what the good life here is?

Guess, then, what is a good life?

Who will solve "a good life"?

The believer is at peace. Because he has faith, he is at peace. That's a different meaning. Male or female, whoever does good deeds as a believer, We will surely make him live a good life, it says. Do you know what a good life is? People desire something.

When they cannot attain what they desire, they get distressed even amid wealth. They suffer. Well, what the believer desires, Allah Almighty, even if there are armors of iron, opens those doors and gives it to him. That is the good life. He wipes it from his mind and makes him live at peace.

That's why the Prophet says in a hadith: Do not promise a believer anything. If you have promised, fulfill it. The reason: he waits for that promise. It makes him uneasy. And the one who does not fulfill his promise is ruined too. Do not promise him anything. To a believer. Do not promise anything. If you promise, even if you are in a terrible rush, let's fulfill it.

Or let's surely explain the situation to him.

Yes. You've understood this.

Male or female, whoever does good deeds as a believer, We will surely make him live a good life. And We will surely give their reward by the best of what they used to do. Look, there's the reward. Yes. Whether male or female, they act well. They live the religion of Islam. They carry out Allah's commands as best they can. If these people attain the rank of believer, Allah, in return for what they did in the world, makes these people live both a good life in the world and, in the hereafter, the best life of all who are made to live there. Allah gives to such people until they are pleased with Allah.

Allah Almighty loves people very much. Especially if a person bears hardships in the world for Allah, does not complain to Allah and is content with what comes from Allah. If he tries to win Allah's pleasure, Allah Almighty also shows such people to other people as an example. Yes.

Gülay is answering the question I asked. She says, the life of the hereafter, Hodja, I think, she says. The life of the hereafter. Most likely, since Allah Almighty's word is both outward and inward, He will both bring you to your wishes and desires in this world and in the best way, in the hereafter, give you the places you desired. And even better. (?) Suat knows well. Isn't that right, Suat? When our way was blocked, for that transformer everything was over, wasn't it? Not half an hour passes, and the armors open. Yes, and here. Hodja, he says, so-and-so had a promise, what do you say? Not half an hour passes — why are you calling?

I'm there too. How does he know I'm there? That is, everything here with us is proven. The verses are proven too.
