Transliteration:( Wa lanuskinan nakumul arda min ba'dihim; zaalika liman khaafa maqaamee wa khaafa wa'eed )
And We will surely make you dwell in the land [36] after them. This is for those who fear standing before Me [37] and fear My warning.
It is reported in the Hadith Shareef that he who causes discomfort to his neighbour, Allah Almighty would make the oppressed person the owner of the oppressor’s home.
It should be remembered that any land on which Divine punishment descends becomes forbidden for the believers to reside in.
Thus, the meaning of the verse is not that the land on which Divine punishment would descend would be given for your dwelling. Rather, the concept is symbolic of justice and eventual victory for the oppressed.
This means that the infidels will be destroyed, and the believers will become masters of their territory.
This is not restricted only to the followers of the mentioned Prophets but is a universal principle that continues until the Day of Judgement—that the evil-doers shall be removed and the pious shall be established in their place as rightful stewards.

(14:14) and will then cause you to settle in the land[23] as their successors. That is the reward for him who fears to stand for reckoning and holds My threat in awe.”
23. This was to reassure the Prophets that they should not worry at all about the threat that the disbelievers would banish them from their country, as if to say: We will uproot them from their land, and establish you and your followers firmly in their place.
[652]- An alternative meaning is "the standing [for account] before Me."
