00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:05.169 --> 00:00:08.009
A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:12.679
Abridged by Dr. Aqil Ibn Salim al-Shammari.

00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:16.420
Surah al-Ma'un.

00:00:18.410 --> 00:00:22.210
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:22.210 --> 00:00:26.410
“Hast thou observed him who belieth religion?” (107:1)

00:00:26.410 --> 00:00:31.010
That is the one who repels the orphan.

00:00:31.010 --> 00:00:36.490
And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.

00:00:36.490 --> 00:00:40.250
So woe to those who pray.

00:00:40.250 --> 00:00:45.929
“Who are heedless of their prayer;” (107:5)

00:00:45.929 --> 00:00:50.929
Those who show off.

00:00:50.929 --> 00:00:56.960
And withhold simple assistance.

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:01.560
Have you seen, O Muhammad, the one who denies the reward and punishment of Allah?

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.840
He does not obey His commands or prohibitions.

00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.870
This is the one who denies the Recompense.

00:01:07.870 --> 00:01:11.870
He is the one who pushes the orphan away from his rights and oppresses him.

00:01:11.870 --> 00:01:16.390
And he does not urge others to feed the needy.

00:01:16.390 --> 00:01:20.069
The 'Wail' is a valley flowing with the pus of the people of Hell.

00:01:20.069 --> 00:01:23.069
It is for the hypocrites who pray.

00:01:23.069 --> 00:01:26.870
They do not seek the pleasure of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, through their prayer.

00:01:26.870 --> 00:01:31.189
They are heedless of their prayer, neglecting it.

00:01:31.269 --> 00:01:34.269
They are distracted from it and preoccupied with other things.

00:01:34.269 --> 00:01:38.269
Sometimes they neglect it entirely, and at other times they miss its proper time.

00:01:38.269 --> 00:01:43.299
Those who show off to people with their prayers when they perform them.

00:01:43.299 --> 00:01:48.299
This is because they do not pray out of desire for reward or fear of punishment.

00:01:48.299 --> 00:01:52.299
Rather, they pray only so that the believers may see them.

00:01:52.299 --> 00:01:54.299
So the believers think they are among them.

00:01:54.299 --> 00:01:58.299
And thus they refrain from shedding their blood or taking their families captive.

00:01:58.379 --> 00:02:04.379
These are the hypocrites who lived during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:02:04.379 --> 00:02:08.379
They harbor disbelief inwardly while manifesting Islam outwardly.

00:02:08.379 --> 00:02:12.379
They withhold from people the common items they borrow among themselves.

00:02:12.379 --> 00:02:18.379
They withhold from the needy and the destitute the rights that Allah has made obligatory upon them from their wealth.

00:02:18.379 --> 00:02:21.379
For all of that falls under the category of benefits.

00:02:21.379 --> 00:02:24.379
Which people utilize from one another.

00:02:24.379 --> 00:02:29.180
A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

00:02:29.180 --> 00:02:31.259
From the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
