Translation

Those deniers should not believe that they are saved, because they cannot incapacitate (Us).

Tafsir

Non-Muslims living comfortably in the world, and Allah (swt) granting them life, should not let them think that they are off the hook and that they are defying Allah (swt), gaining strength and making Allah (swt) powerless. Their enjoyment of the blessings of the world is their coming to life according to the verse of Allah (My mercy is for everyone in the universe).

The disbelief of the Kuffar in Allah, their disbelief in the Prophet (s.a.w.) and their rejection of the Holy Qur'an revealed by Allah. They cannot humble Allah, but only wrong their own souls.

(Every soul will taste death. To Allah is the final return. So on the Day of Judgment, when people are gathered before Allah, on that Day of Reckoning, everyone will be recompensed for what he has done. No soul will be wronged. Every soul will be questioned for what it has earned with its own two hands.

In this respect, Allah does not intend cruelty to the worlds. People wrong their own souls.

What is said in the video

Let those who disbelieve not think they have escaped. For they cannot render Us powerless, those who disbelieve. In the world, perhaps with a bribe, perhaps with a trick, perhaps with a ruse, you save your skin. But in Allah's sight you cannot save your skin. Yes, the non-Muslims living comfortably in the world, Allah Almighty granting them life — they should not think they have slipped free and, by opposing Allah, gained strength and rendered Allah powerless. You know those who boast of their lineage and descent; if there is a Paradise, they say, it is our right. Because we have wealth, we have property, our children and family, our lineage are many, they say.

This right is our right, they say. Seeing what Allah gave as his own strength, too wretched to know that Allah will never be in need of anything, the poor human; loving what Allah created more than Allah, thinking he will find life through it, although Allah needs nothing, showing Allah's creations to Allah, boasting of His being, of what He created, and seeing himself as a being over against Him, the poor human. The human who prides himself on his lineage, his wealth, his property. Such people. In the hereafter, Allah Almighty answers such people like this. When they see the punishment there, not this world, He says, another world's worth, He says.

If they had the wealth, they would want to pay it as ransom and be saved, He says. Allah has no need of these, He says.

In this case, in return for the covenant that a person, at (?), gave Allah Almighty with a rebellious spirit, that world of his, that covenant, his wish and desire — when he comes into the world, himself, making himself a witness before those around him and Allah. "Did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you are?" According to this verse, he proves himself very well indeed. Deceived by the few hours' (?) of this passing world, taking revenge on his own self, in Hell, which He calls "what an evil destination," he leaves himself exposed to the punishment. Let those who disbelieve not think they have escaped.

For they cannot render Us powerless. The non-Muslims living comfortably in the world, Allah Almighty granting them life — they should not think they have slipped free and, by opposing Allah, gained strength and rendered Allah powerless. Their (?) the blessings in the world — Allah Almighty's mercy in the universe is for everyone, He says — according to that verse, is how they find life.

Allah Almighty never commits injustice. Not even an atom's weight. On earth — look how He says it: We have distributed even the earth to you with justice, He says. Distributed with justice. Even the earth. But Hodja, people live in deserts. So what is the justice there? The oil under that desert — today the world depends on it. Yes.

In unknown places, Allah Almighty's substances created as valuable in the world, which people have not yet found; those people living in (?), people living, let's say, in urgency, people living in a way that makes them need other people — because of their indolence, because of their laziness, they do not own those underground treasures. Yes, Allah gives to the one who works. He is just.

In this case, even the earth, even the earth is distributed to people with justice. But if that eye does not see it, they remain subject to the words Allah Almighty spoke figuratively. They are blind, He says; they do not see.

Yes.

By the disbelievers' denial of Allah, their not acknowledging the Prophet (peace be upon him), their turning their backs on the Holy Quran that Allah sent down, they cannot render Allah powerless. They only wrong their own selves. Even if humans and jinn came and gathered, the worlds cannot harm Allah.

Every soul shall taste death. Every soul. And in the end the return is to Allah. Every soul shall taste death, and finally our return is to Me, He says. On the Day of Resurrection, when people are gathered before Allah, on that day of reckoning everyone will bear the consequences of what they did. Without any soul being wronged (?).

Every soul will be questioned for what it earned with its own two hands.

Allah Almighty, unlike people, toward those who deny Him, does not act out of the feelings of the self. He makes people bear witness with their own selves. He makes them bear witness against their own selves, and the requital of what they did in the world He lays out before them one by one, and with justice, in return for what they did, He shows them their places. Yes. So every soul shall taste death. In the end the return is to Allah. On the Day of Resurrection, when people are gathered before Allah, on that day of reckoning everyone will bear the consequences of what they did. So that no soul is wronged, every soul, for what it earned with its own two hands, will be questioned.

Therefore Allah does not will injustice to the worlds. In the verse: Allah Almighty does not will injustice to the worlds. It is people who wrong their own selves, He says. Yes.
