Translation

The servants of Rahman are those who humbly walk on earth and who say, “Peace be upon you!” when they are confronted by the ignorant ones.

Tafsir

The people whom Allah (swt) calls His special servants are those who have piety, who have attained the state of Nafsi Mutmainnah, who are pleased with Allah (swt) and Allah (swt) is pleased with them. These people are those who know Allah as the creator with the helplessness of their souls. People who realize that all creatures are the servants of Allah, and who see and forgive Allah's creatures as Allah's creatures.

These are the people who have broken their ego, their desire for self, glory, fame, pride, arrogance, greatness and the world, who have known the owner of wealth, who have realized that all this is Allah's, who have surrendered to Allah, knowing that their power is not enough for anything in the sight of Allah.

These are the people who walk humbly on the earth. They get along with people. They do not break anyone's heart. They respect the rights and laws of people. They do not break the hearts of others for their own benefit. As they think of their own interests, they put the interests of others above their own.

When such people are taunted by ignorant people or unbelievers, they say peace be upon them. So go to your work. Can't you find someone else to deal with? We don't have time to follow you and be with you. They bid them farewell and dismiss them.

Or when they see that the way of the disbelievers is bad, and they cannot speak to them, and they are taunted by these disbelievers, they say, 'Surely we are righteous people under the mercy of Allah. Instead of following them and going into disbelief, they say, 'May Allah's peace be upon us.

What is said in the video

Verse 63 of Surah Al-Furqan — let us explain it. The true servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when insolent people taunt them, "Go in peace," they say. They don't bother with them. "Go in peace." The people Allah Almighty calls His true servants are those who are God-fearing, who have risen to the nafs-i mutmainna, with whom Allah is pleased and who are pleased with Allah — such people. These people, through the helplessness of their nafs, know Allah as the Creator. They realize that all created beings are Allah's servants. People who see Allah's creatures as Allah's creation and who forgive.

These people — the egotism, glory, fame, pride, arrogance and grandeur in their own nafs — have broken their cravings for the world, know the Owner of wealth, have realized that all these perfections are Allah's, and, knowing that in Allah's sight their strength suffices for nothing, are people who have surrendered to Allah. These are the people who walk humbly on the earth. They get along well with people. They don't break anyone's heart. They respect people's rights and dues. They don't hurt others for their own interests. And as much as they think of their own interests, they hold others' interests above their own.

When the ignorant or deniers taunt and pester such people, "Go in peace," they say. That is: go about your business. Couldn't you find anyone else to bother? We have no time to follow you and be with you. "Well, farewell to you," they say, and they love them.

Or when they see that the path the deniers take is bad, since they cannot get through to them, because these deniers pester them, these people — "Surely we are sound people under Allah's mercy. Rather than following them and falling into kufr, let us keep away from them, and may Allah's peace be upon us," they say.
