The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Their greeting on the day they meet Him will be peace, and He has prepared for them a noble reward”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Then Allah the Exalted said:
Their greeting the Day they meet Him will be, "Peace." And He has prepared for them a noble reward. تَحِيَّتُهُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُ سَلامٌ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا كَرِيمًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:44]
In this noble verse, there is proof of the Resurrection, as indicated by His saying:
on the day they meet Him يوم يلقونه
It also affirms the speech of Allah and that He speaks, as indicated by His saying:
Peace سلام
This is supported by His saying:
[And] "Peace," a word from a Merciful Lord. سَلامٌ قَوْلًا مِنْ رَبٍّ رَحِيمٍ
[Yasin:58] because He the Exalted speaks it and says it as a statement.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is the great glad tidings for the believers that Allah Himself (Exalted and Majestic is He) greets them with this greeting, as indicated by His saying:
Their greeting the Day they meet Him will be, "Peace." تَحِيَّتُهُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُ سَلامٌ
[Al-Ahzab 33:44]
If a king from among the kings of this world promised you and said that he would greet you with peace and offer you the noblest, finest hospitality, what would your joy be?
The student: ...?

The Shaykh : No, or would you fly between the sky and the earth? Yes, the point is that you would be joyful. How much more so if Allah the Mighty and Majestic informs us of Himself that He will greet the believers with this greeting while offering this great reward? Therefore, this verse contains glad tidings, and one of its benefits is the great glad tidings for the believers that Allah greets them and promises them the noble reward.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is that the Hereafter contains calamities and harm; whoever is saved from them is saved, and whoever is destroyed in them is destroyed, as indicated by His saying:
the Day they meet Him will be, "Peace." يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُ سَلامٌ
[Al-Ahzab 33:44]
As for others, there is no peace for them because they are punished in the Fire, may Allah protect us from it.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is the affirmation of recompense, as indicated by His saying:
And He has prepared for them a noble reward. وأعد لهم أجراً كريماً
[Al-Ahzab 33:44]
.
Among its benefits is that the reward Allah has prepared for the believers is a good reward; indeed, it is as Allah the Exalted said:
For them who have done good is the best لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا الْحُسْنَى
[Yunus:26] meaning the best of things,
And He has prepared for them a noble reward. وأعد لهم أجراً كريماً
[Al-Ahzab 33:44]
.
Then Allah the Exalted said:
O Prophet يا أيها النبي
This is the beginning of today’s lesson. If Allah wills, it is postponed to Saturday. Yes, and on Saturday, if Allah wills, the lesson will be in the new mosque, if Allah wills.
