And exalted degrees are only for the ones who commit good deeds and who come to Allah as mu’min (firm believer).
Tafsir
And whoever believes and has faith in Allah and the Hereafter, and holds fast to the Prophets sent by Allah and His Books, and does not compromise Allah's commands for the sake of the life of this world and the desires of the soul, and strives towards taqwa, and abstains from the lawful and unlawful, and fulfills Allah's commands, then the higher degrees, i.e. Paradise and its blessings, are for such people only. They will abide therein forever. They will have Gardens of Adn from whose floors rivers flow. There their every desire will be fulfilled and people will not use empty words against each other. They just say hello.
What is said in the video
Surah Ta-Ha, verse 75: And whoever, as a believer who has done good deeds, comes to Him – the high ranks are solely for these, it says. Pay attention to the verse. And whoever, as a believer who has done good deeds, it says. Believer. That is, it is now addressing people who have risen to nafs-i mutmainne. that is, it addresses people who have become aware of the divine manifestations, that is: O tranquil soul, your Lord pleased with you and you pleased with your Lord, enter among My servants, enter My Paradise – the people to whom He says this, the verse addresses them, it addresses him. What does it say? And whoever, as a believer who has done good deeds, as a believer comes to Him, the high ranks are solely for these. If here it had not said believer but had meant Muslims, those who believe, then all the high ranks would be theirs.
That is, they would have come together with the righteous servants. And Allah's justice would be gone. So if the nafs has seven levels, according to the seven levels of the nafs there are seven paradises. The eighth is Maqam-i Mahmud; it belongs to the Prophet. Since He says you cannot even imagine it, I don't even want to imagine it. Because, (?) of my imagination, why should I imagine what I cannot imagine? So how beautiful: there is no flaw at all in Allah's words. They confirm each other so that you will never find among them one that contradicts.
If anything written contradicts, it is not in the verse; it is because people, their minds not grasping it, interpreted that verse wrongly. Otherwise, verses do not contradict one another. How beautifully it says: And whoever comes to Him as a believer who has done good deeds, the high ranks – are solely for these. It doesn't say high rank. High ranks. That is, ranks, ranks. Of mutmainne, of nafs-i raziye, of nafs-i marziye, of nafs-i safiye – their paradises. The ranks, the high ranks are theirs. And then? Then nafs-i emmare, that is, those who come out of hell and enter, nafs-i levvame, that is, those who normally keep to their prayers and supplications; nafs-i mülhime, well, those who in this world remained people of karamat (wonders).
Yes. These. After that, with nafs-i mutmainne, the high ranks. Nafs-i raziye, nafs-i marziye, nafs-i safiye. And whoever believes and has faith in Allah and the hereafter, clings tightly to the prophets Allah sent and His books, and for worldly life and the whims of the nafs does not compromise on Allah's commands, believes in taqwa, is careful about halal and haram, carries out Allah's orders – then the high ranks, that is, Paradise and the blessings of Paradise, are solely for such people. They will stay there forever. They have paradises with rivers flowing beneath. There every wish of theirs is met, and people do not use idle words with one another. They only keep saying peace.
What a beautiful life.
