The benefits of the verse: “Say to those who disbelieve: You will be defeated and gathered into Hell, and wretched is the resting place.”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
Say to those who disbelieve, "You will be overcome and gathered together to Hell, and wretched is the resting place." قل للذين كفروا ستغلبون وتحشرون إلى جهنم وبئس المهاد
[Ali 'Imran 3:12]
In this verse: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is a servant to whom the commands are directed, as He said:
Say قل
He is a servant who is not worshipped, and a Messenger who does not lie. It also indicates the importance of this command or this news that Allah ordered His Prophet to convey to the disbelievers. Among its benefits: strengthening the believers, as it is said to their disbelieving enemies: You will be defeated in this world, and you have no outcome in the Hereafter, for you will be gathered into Hell. Among its benefits also: terrifying the disbelievers and warning them, as He said:
You will be overcome and gathered together to Hell ستغلبون وتحشرون إلى جهنم
[Ali 'Imran 3:12]
. Among the benefits of the verse also: that Allah the Exalted gathers the disbelievers between two punishments: the punishment of this world and the punishment of the Hereafter. As for the punishment of this world, it is in His saying:
You will be defeated ستغلبون
even if they spend a great deal of wealth
Indeed, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to avert [people] from the way of Allah. So they will spend it; then it will be for them a [source of] regret; then they will be overcome إن الذين كفروا ينفقون أموالهم ليصدوا عن سبيل الله فسينفقونها ثم يكون عليه حسرة ثم يغلبون
[Al-Anfal 8:36]
. And as for the second punishment, it is His saying:
And you will be gathered into Hell وتحشرون إلى جهنم
. As for the believer, if Allah punishes him in this world, He will not punish him in the Hereafter; Allah will not gather both punishments for him
And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much. وما أصابكم من مصيبة فبما كسبت أيديكم ويعفوا عن كثير
[Ash-Shuraa 42:30]
. Among the benefits of the noble verse: the glad tidings to us in this time that the disbelievers, if we were to be truthful to Allah the Exalted in faith, would be defeated, because He said:
Say to those who disbelieve, "You will be overcome قل للذين كفروا ستغلبون
[Ali 'Imran 3:12]
And who is it that will prevail?
Allah has written, "I will surely overcome, I and My messengers." Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might. كتب الله لأغلبن ورسلي إن الله قوي عزيز
[Al-Mujadila 58:21]
Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the life of this world إنا لننصر رسلنا والذين آمنوا في الحياة الدنيا
[Ghafir 40:51]
So if we were to return to faith truly in creed, speech, action, morals, etiquette, and all that pertains to the Islamic Shari'ah, the disbelievers would be defeated before us. This is witnessed by the reality that occurred with the Salaf of this Ummah, where they possessed the east and west of the earth. Among the benefits of the noble verse: establishing the punishment of the Fire, as He said:
And you will be gathered into Hell وتحشرون إلى جهنم
This is a matter established in the Book and the Sunnah and the consensus of the Muslims, and whoever denies it has committed disbelief. Among the benefits of the noble verse: that the destination of the sin, indeed the ultimate destination of the sin, is the Fire, as He said:
And evil is the resting place وبئس المهاد
