In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari Surat Al-Qasas In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful We have conveyed to them the word so that they may remember O Muhammad, we have reached your people from the Quraish The Jews are children of Israel Telling the news of the past And the news of what We inflicted upon them of Our punishment And what we will do to those who follow in their footsteps So that they may remember, consider, and learn Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it believe in it To whom We gave the Book before this Qur’an They believe in this Qur’an They acknowledge that it is a right from God And when it is recited to them, they say, “We believe in it. It is the truth from our Lord.” It is the truth from our Lord. Indeed, before him we were Muslims And when this Qur’an is recited to those to whom We gave the Book before the revelation of the Qur’an They said, “We believe in it. It is the truth sent down from our Lord.” Before the revelation of this Qur’an, we were Muslims This is because they believed in what the prophets brought Before the coming of our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace And they have books In their books, the description and description of Muhammad They believed in him, his sender, and his book before the revelation of the Qur’an Those will be given their reward twice because they were patient, and they will ward off evil with good They avert evil with good, and spend from what We have provided them Those who have been described They will be given the reward for their work twice because they were patient according to the first book And their followers of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and their patience in that They repel the bad deeds of their actions with the good deeds they do And from the wealth We have provided them with, they spend it in obedience to God And when they hear the nonsense, they turn away from it and say, “We have our deeds and you have your deeds.” Peace be upon you. We do not seek the ignorant. And when these people to whom We gave the Book heard the false speech They did not listen to him and told us that our deeds were acceptable to us And you have your deeds which you have approved for yourselves You are safe from us not criticizing you or hearing from us what you do not like We do not want to dialogue with ignorant people and challenge them O Muhammad, you do not guide those whom you love to guide But God guides whomever He wishes to guide from among His creation With His success in believing in Him and His Messenger And God knows best who has ever had knowledge that he will be guided to guidance That is what God guides, guides, and grants success They said, “If I follow the guidance with you, we will be snatched from our land.” Have We not established for them a secure sanctuary to which the fruits of all things are brought? The fruits of everything as sustenance from Us will be brought to Him Their sustenance is from us Their sustenance is from us Their sustenance is from us But most of them don't know She said: The infidels of Quraysh If he follows the truth that you have brought to us We disavow our peers and gods People kidnap us from our land They all agreed unanimously against us and our war Did we not establish for them a country in which we prohibited the people from shedding blood? We protected his family from any attack, killing, or captivity He brings to him the fruits of every country We provided them with sustenance from Us But most of these polytheists do not know that it is We who have established a safe sanctuary for them And We provided them with it And We made fruits from every land collected for them Because of their ignorance, they do not thank those who blessed them with this How many villages have we destroyed, the livelihood of which has deteriorated Those dwellings were not inhabited after them except for a few We were the heirs How many villages have we destroyed that were oppressed by their livelihood Those were their houses and homes that were ruined after them She had no heir It returned to what it was before they lived there It has no owner but God Your Lord will not destroy the towns until He sends a messenger to their towns Until He sends to her mother a messenger who recites to them Our verses Your Lord will not destroy the towns until He sends a messenger to their towns Your Lord will not destroy the towns until He sends a messenger to their towns Until He sends to her mother a messenger who recites to them the verses of Our Book And We would never destroy a town that believed in God We only destroy them because they wronged themselves and disbelieved in God Whatever you are given is the enjoyment and adornment of the life of this world And what is with God is better and more lasting. Do you not understand? And you people have not been given any money or children It is an enjoyment that you enjoy in this worldly life It is one of her adornments that he adorns himself with And what God has for those who obey Him is better than what you have been given in this world and more lasting for its people Because it is permanent and inexhaustible Do you people have no brains to ponder upon? Through it you will know good from evil It is like someone who was given the enjoyment of the worldly life, then on the Day of Resurrection he will be among those who will be brought Is he whom We created promised Paradise for his obedience? By his obedience, he deserved for us to fulfill what we promised him He fulfilled what he promised It is like someone who enjoyed the worldly life and forgot to do what we promised the obedient people Then it is the Day of Resurrection when it is presented to God Among the two scenes is the punishment of God and the painful punishment And the day He calls them and says, “Where are my partners whom you claimed?” And the day the Lord of Glory will call those who have associated partners with Him and say to them: Where are my partners whom you claimed were my partners in this world? Those against whom the saying is true said: Our Lord, these are those whom We have misled, We have misled them as We have misled We disavow before you what they used to worship Those who are subject to God's wrath and curse, he said They are devils Our Lord, those who deceived us We seduced them as we seduced them We repudiate their mandate and support you They were not worshiping us It was said, “Call your partners.” They called them, but they did not respond to them and they saw the torment If only they were guided And it was said to the polytheists of God I call upon your partners whom you used to call upon other than God So they called them, but they did not answer them, and they witnessed the torment When they saw the torment, they wished that they had been guided to the truth in this world And the day He calls them and says: What did you answer the messengers? They were blinded by the news on that day, so they did not wonder And the day God calls these polytheists and says to them: What did you answer the messengers regarding what we sent them to you? From your prayers for our unity and disavowal of idols and idols So the argument blinded them, and they did not know what they were using as evidence They had no argument to use They do not ask about lineage and kinship As for those of the polytheists who repent and are sincere in God’s divinity He believed in his Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace And he did what God commanded He is one of the successful people who realizes his request to God Eternally in his paradise And your Lord, O Muhammad, creates whatever He wants to create He chooses for guidance, faith, and good deeds from his creation What he already knew was their choice For the sake of these polytheists, their gods had the choice of their money So is my choice of myself and my shunning of my state The choice of my kingdom and my creation In honor of God, my kingdom, and my kingdom It purifies God, disavows Him, and rises above the polytheism that the polytheists have added to it And your Lord, O Muhammad, knows what the breasts of His creation hide And what they express with their tongues and limbs But he means it It is the choice of whom to choose from to believe He is aware of the secrets and valleys of their affairs And your Lord, O Muhammad, the worshiped one, except to whom worship is not suitable Praise be to Him in this world and the hereafter And He has judgment among His creation To Him you will be returned after your death, and He will judge between you with justice Say: Have you seen that God made the night eternal over you until the Day of Resurrection? Eternal until the Day of Resurrection. Is there a god other than God who will bring you light? Don't you listen? Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists in God People Have you seen that God made night perpetual over you, not day following it until the Day of Resurrection? Whoever is worshiped is not worshiped, to whom everything is worshiped He will bring you the light of day, and you will be illuminated by him Don't you pay attention to this and think about it and learn from it? Say: Have you seen that God made the day eternal for you until the Day of Resurrection? Eternal until the Day of Resurrection. Is there a god other than God who brings you a night in which you can rest? Will you not see? Say, O Muhammad, to the polytheists of your people Have you seen, O people, if God made for you an everlasting day with no night ever until the Day of Resurrection? Whoever is worshiped is not worshiped, to whom everything is worshiped He will bring you a night in which you will find peace and rest Do you not see with your eyes the difference between night and day upon you? It is a mercy from God to you, so learn that worship is only appropriate for the one who bestowed this upon you and not anyone else And out of His mercy, He made for you night and day, that you may rest therein and seek of His bounty, and that you may be grateful. And out of His mercy toward you, O people, He made for you night and day, and He alternated between them So make this night darkness so that you can rest in it, calm down, and settle down so that your bodies can rest in it He made this day a light in which you can see and use your sight in it for your livelihood And thank Him for His blessings upon you And the day He calls them and says, “Where are my partners whom you claimed?” And the day your Lord calls, O Muhammad, these polytheists, and says to them Where are my partners whom you people claimed in this world to be my partners? And We removed from every nation a witness, so We said, “Bring your proof,” so they knew that the truth belongs to God, and what they had invented went away from them. And We brought from each group its witness, who is its prophet, who bears witness to what it responded to So We said to the nation of every prophet, “Bring your proof for associating yourself with God.” Then they knew that God’s decisive proof was against them, and that truth belongs to God and honesty is His experience So they were certain of a permanent punishment from God for them And they vanished, and those who were associating partners with God in this world, and who were not slandering and lying, went away It did not benefit them there, but rather harmed them and caused them to burn into Hell
