Say; “Is this better, or the paradise of eternity that is promised to the muttaqi? That place of reward and a peaceful destination (of salvation).
Tafsir
Allah (swt) addressed the people through His Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.), Habib-i Kibriya, Hatemen Nabi, and said: O people! Is it better to turn your back on Allah and the Hereafter for a little pleasure in this transient mortal world, or is it better for the owners of piety to fear Allah and fulfill His commands and prohibitions and live in eternal bliss and peace in the Hereafter? Of course, if every rational person thinks rationally and not egoistically, he will find the truth and say that the eternal bliss of the Hereafter is better.
So, O man! If Allah (swt) appeals to the minds of every human being, proves His existence in a way that every human being can understand, and clearly informs people that there is no other God but Him, and yet you do not fear Allah (swt), do not avoid His prohibitions, do not serve Him (swt), and follow the footsteps of Shaytan by deifying your ego (nafs), how can you endure eternal torment in the Hereafter when you cannot endure the slightest torment in this world?
So, if you avoid what tagut shows you that is pleasing to you, and the temptations that shaytan gives to man, and if you avoid following the desires of the human nafs, and if you turn to Allah, and if you take refuge in the Verses of Allah from these three traits that are enemies of man, when you turn to Allah, you will get rid of the syringes that these enemies give to people, which will drag people to eternal torment, which will ruin the world or the hereafter, and you will have peace in this world and the hereafter.
Paradise means eternal bliss and peace. To attain it, follow the path of the owners of piety. Avoid Allah's commands and prohibitions. Pay attention to halal and haram. Observe the rights and laws of Allah's creatures. Donate to the servants of Allah for the sake of Allah. Be constant in your worship and devotion to Allah and you will earn Paradise.
What is said in the video
Surah Al-Furqan, verse 15 Say: Is this better, or the Garden of Eternity promised to the God-fearing? That is, say to people, O My Beloved, say this to these people: is the state of the people subjected to this punishment in the punishment of Hell better, Or the God-fearing, that is, that there is no god besides Allah, Allah Almighty — the people who fulfil the duty of servitude, since the promise of Allah Almighty is true, in the eternal life of Paradise a state in which they attain every wish and desire — is that better, it says. Of course, who would not want to attain every wish and desire in Paradise? Even in worldly life we long to attain our wishes and desires.
Why should we not long for it in the eternal life? So, although this world is temporary, people whose wishes and desires of the carnal feelings never end cling to the world with worldly passion, struggling so much for a temporary passion — in the face of this, is it better to turn the life of the eternal and endless life into Hell, or else in an endless life to obtain the mercy of Allah Almighty and attain their wishes and desires — is that better? Here man will use his mind, will make a comparison. And here Allah Almighty has people make such a fine comparison. What does He say? Say: Is this better?
That is, is the life of Hell better? Or the Garden of Eternity promised to the God-fearing? That is for them a reward and a destination where they will find peace. Yes.
People, while in this world, with what they heard from their mother and father, believe in the Hereafter. In fact, every person — at this covenant of Alastu bi-Rabbikum we saw our Lord, we made a covenant with our Lord. We chose of our own wish and will in which time we would come. In this case, the person who comes here as a temporary traveller, as a guest — since in this world the Hereafter is closed off in his memory — those places he continues with the word he gave to Allah Almighty, as a result of that faith. As for unbelief, it continues in the direction of unbelief anyway. But if we think about it, the making of this universe, the earth, sun and moon system turning around their own axes and so bringing about night and day, the seasons and the years, and every living being knowing the duty it will do and working according to that duty; many miracles of the human body whose secret they have not yet solved coming together into a perfect human creation, and its being created on the basis of every science — that this is a product of chance is not possible. For a person of sound mind.
In this case, it means there is someone who created us. This Creator did not send us to this world to eat and drink like animals, well, have intercourse and go. So why did He send us? Allah Almighty, who created us so perfectly, Allah Almighty who created the noblest of creatures, our Lord who made us vicegerent on earth, created us so that His essence would be known. So our duty — in the face of our so perfect creation, in the face of our creation honored above the worlds, in the face of our being made addressees of our Lord's essence, surely, in return for the great glory and fame given to us, for this honor — to our Lord who granted this honor, who bestowed this glory and fame, so that we can surely fulfil our debt of gratitude, we worship Him.
We must not fall short and must be thankful for the state we are in, so that we have fulfilled our duty to our Lord.
Yes. There Allah Almighty — the Beloved of the Almighty, the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad (peace be upon him), too — addresses people. Say: O people! (?) turn your backs on Allah and the Hereafter. For a little pleasure and enjoyment of this temporary, perishable world, is the eternal punishment of the Hereafter better?
Or that the God-fearing, by fearing Allah, carry out His commands and prohibitions and live in the abode of the Hereafter in eternal bliss and peace — is that better? Of course, every person with a mind, if he thinks rationally and not carnally, will find the truth and surely say that the eternal bliss of the abode of the Hereafter is better. Yes.
So, O man, Allah Almighty, addressing every person's mind, proves His existence in a way every person can understand. He clearly informs people that there is no other god besides Him, and if still you do not fear Allah, do not avoid Allah's prohibitions, do not become His servant, and, deifying your nafs, follow the footsteps of Satan — while in the world you cannot bear the slightest punishment, eternal punishment in the Hereafter — how can you bear it?
So if one avoids what the taghut makes look pleasing to you, the temptations Satan gives man, and man following the passion of his nafs, and turns to Allah — from these three traits hostile to man, taking refuge in Allah's verses — when you turn to Allah, from what these enemies, who will drag people to eternal punishment, who will ruin the world or the Hereafter, do to people, the (?), you are saved and find peace in this world and the Hereafter. Paradise means eternal bliss and peace. To attain it, follow the path of the God-fearing. Be mindful of Allah's commands and prohibitions. Pay attention to halal and haram.
Respect the rights of the beings Allah has created. For Allah's sake, give to Allah's servants. Continue in obedience and worship to Allah, be constant, so that you may earn Paradise. Yes.
