WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.160 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.139 --> 00:00:08.039 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.539 --> 00:00:12.740 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 00:00:14.009 --> 00:00:16.530 Surat Al-Qasas 00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:22.120 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.329 --> 00:00:29.489 We have conveyed to them the word so that they may remember 00:00:30.510 --> 00:00:34.270 O Muhammad, we have reached your people from the Quraish 00:00:34.469 --> 00:00:36.869 The Jews are children of Israel 00:00:37.229 --> 00:00:39.469 Telling the news of the past 00:00:39.869 --> 00:00:43.070 And the news of what We inflicted upon them of Our punishment 00:00:43.390 --> 00:00:47.070 And what we will do to those who follow in their footsteps 00:00:47.469 --> 00:00:50.549 So that they may remember, consider, and learn 00:00:51.899 --> 00:00:59.700 Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it believe in it 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:05.120 To whom We gave the Book before this Qur’an 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.719 They believe in this Qur’an 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.400 They acknowledge that it is a right from God 00:01:12.819 --> 00:01:20.780 And when it is recited to them, they say, “We believe in it. It is the truth from our Lord.” 00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:30.459 It is the truth from our Lord. Indeed, before him we were Muslims 00:01:32.219 --> 00:01:38.379 And when this Qur’an is recited to those to whom We gave the Book before the revelation of the Qur’an 00:01:39.099 --> 00:01:44.099 They said, “We believe in it. It is the truth sent down from our Lord.” 00:01:44.739 --> 00:01:48.859 Before the revelation of this Qur’an, we were Muslims 00:01:49.540 --> 00:01:53.620 This is because they believed in what the prophets brought 00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:58.260 Before the coming of our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:01:58.780 --> 00:02:00.379 And they have books 00:02:01.099 --> 00:02:04.099 In their books, the description and description of Muhammad 00:02:04.859 --> 00:02:10.659 They believed in him, his sender, and his book before the revelation of the Qur’an 00:02:12.289 --> 00:02:21.810 Those will be given their reward twice because they were patient, and they will ward off evil with good 00:02:22.330 --> 00:02:30.569 They avert evil with good, and spend from what We have provided them 00:02:32.210 --> 00:02:34.689 Those who have been described 00:02:35.169 --> 00:02:40.449 They will be given the reward for their work twice because they were patient according to the first book 00:02:40.969 --> 00:02:45.969 And their followers of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and their patience in that 00:02:46.689 --> 00:02:51.490 They repel the bad deeds of their actions with the good deeds they do 00:02:52.050 --> 00:02:56.569 And from the wealth We have provided them with, they spend it in obedience to God 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:14.439 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. 00:03:15.979 --> 00:03:21.699 And when these people to whom We gave the Book heard the false speech 00:03:22.259 --> 00:03:28.939 They did not listen to him and told us that our deeds were acceptable to us 00:03:29.580 --> 00:03:33.419 And you have your deeds which you have approved for yourselves 00:03:34.099 --> 00:03:39.620 You are safe from us not criticizing you or hearing from us what you do not like 00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:44.139 We do not want to dialogue with ignorant people and challenge them 00:03:52.460 --> 00:03:57.219 O Muhammad, you do not guide those whom you love to guide 00:03:57.699 --> 00:04:02.909 But God guides whomever He wishes to guide from among His creation 00:04:03.389 --> 00:04:06.629 With His success in believing in Him and His Messenger 00:04:07.110 --> 00:04:12.110 And God knows best who has ever had knowledge that he will be guided to guidance 00:04:12.909 --> 00:04:16.990 That is what God guides, guides, and grants success 00:04:16.990 --> 00:04:23.149 They said, “If I follow the guidance with you, we will be snatched from our land.” 00:04:23.629 --> 00:04:31.899 Have We not established for them a secure sanctuary to which the fruits of all things are brought? 00:04:32.220 --> 00:04:39.339 The fruits of everything as sustenance from Us will be brought to Him 00:04:39.819 --> 00:04:42.620 Their sustenance is from us 00:04:42.699 --> 00:04:46.139 Their sustenance is from us 00:04:46.620 --> 00:04:50.220 Their sustenance is from us 00:04:50.220 --> 00:04:54.540 But most of them don't know 00:04:56.189 --> 00:04:57.990 She said: The infidels of Quraysh 00:04:58.629 --> 00:05:01.149 If he follows the truth that you have brought to us 00:05:01.670 --> 00:05:04.189 We disavow our peers and gods 00:05:04.790 --> 00:05:07.069 People kidnap us from our land 00:05:07.310 --> 00:05:10.750 They all agreed unanimously against us and our war 00:05:11.540 --> 00:05:16.740 Did we not establish for them a country in which we prohibited the people from shedding blood? 00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:23.100 We protected his family from any attack, killing, or captivity 00:05:23.660 --> 00:05:26.379 He brings to him the fruits of every country 00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:29.500 We provided them with sustenance from Us 00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:37.379 But most of these polytheists do not know that it is We who have established a safe sanctuary for them 00:05:37.620 --> 00:05:39.139 And We provided them with it 00:05:39.620 --> 00:05:43.300 And We made fruits from every land collected for them 00:05:43.819 --> 00:05:48.180 Because of their ignorance, they do not thank those who blessed them with this 00:05:49.779 --> 00:05:55.660 How many villages have we destroyed, the livelihood of which has deteriorated 00:05:56.060 --> 00:06:03.379 Those dwellings were not inhabited after them except for a few 00:06:03.779 --> 00:06:07.899 We were the heirs 00:06:09.370 --> 00:06:13.209 How many villages have we destroyed that were oppressed by their livelihood 00:06:13.769 --> 00:06:17.370 Those were their houses and homes that were ruined after them 00:06:17.810 --> 00:06:19.490 She had no heir 00:06:20.009 --> 00:06:23.250 It returned to what it was before they lived there 00:06:23.649 --> 00:06:25.970 It has no owner but God 00:06:27.610 --> 00:06:34.930 Your Lord will not destroy the towns until He sends a messenger to their towns 00:06:35.290 --> 00:06:42.370 Until He sends to her mother a messenger who recites to them Our verses 00:06:42.370 --> 00:06:49.290 Your Lord will not destroy the towns until He sends a messenger to their towns 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:55.439 Your Lord will not destroy the towns until He sends a messenger to their towns 00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:00.879 Until He sends to her mother a messenger who recites to them the verses of Our Book 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:05.399 And We would never destroy a town that believed in God 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.319 We only destroy them because they wronged themselves and disbelieved in God 00:07:11.730 --> 00:07:19.529 Whatever you are given is the enjoyment and adornment of the life of this world 00:07:20.050 --> 00:07:27.129 And what is with God is better and more lasting. Do you not understand? 00:07:28.569 --> 00:07:33.129 And you people have not been given any money or children 00:07:33.730 --> 00:07:38.689 It is an enjoyment that you enjoy in this worldly life 00:07:39.290 --> 00:07:42.649 It is one of her adornments that he adorns himself with 00:07:43.449 --> 00:07:50.410 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 00:07:50.930 --> 00:07:53.290 Because it is permanent and inexhaustible 00:07:54.050 --> 00:07:57.889 Do you people have no brains to ponder upon? 00:07:58.410 --> 00:08:00.730 Through it you will know good from evil 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:20.040 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 00:08:21.670 --> 00:08:26.269 Is he whom We created promised Paradise for his obedience? 00:08:26.790 --> 00:08:31.310 By his obedience, he deserved for us to fulfill what we promised him 00:08:31.750 --> 00:08:33.509 He fulfilled what he promised 00:08:33.909 --> 00:08:38.990 It is like someone who enjoyed the worldly life and forgot to do what we promised the obedient people 00:08:39.830 --> 00:08:43.029 Then it is the Day of Resurrection when it is presented to God 00:08:43.590 --> 00:08:47.190 Among the two scenes is the punishment of God and the painful punishment 00:08:48.659 --> 00:08:57.379 And the day He calls them and says, “Where are my partners whom you claimed?” 00:08:59.049 --> 00:09:03.769 And the day the Lord of Glory will call those who have associated partners with Him and say to them: 00:09:04.490 --> 00:09:09.850 Where are my partners whom you claimed were my partners in this world? 00:09:11.129 --> 00:09:22.210 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 00:09:22.690 --> 00:09:29.169 We disavow before you what they used to worship 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.240 Those who are subject to God's wrath and curse, he said 00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:36.120 They are devils 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:39.600 Our Lord, those who deceived us 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:42.240 We seduced them as we seduced them 00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:46.120 We repudiate their mandate and support you 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:48.840 They were not worshiping us 00:09:50.480 --> 00:10:00.039 It was said, “Call your partners.” They called them, but they did not respond to them and they saw the torment 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:05.879 If only they were guided 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.480 And it was said to the polytheists of God 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:14.480 I call upon your partners whom you used to call upon other than God 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:19.159 So they called them, but they did not answer them, and they witnessed the torment 00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:25.159 When they saw the torment, they wished that they had been guided to the truth in this world 00:10:27.250 --> 00:10:32.889 And the day He calls them and says: What did you answer the messengers? 00:10:33.409 --> 00:10:42.889 They were blinded by the news on that day, so they did not wonder 00:10:44.779 --> 00:10:48.740 And the day God calls these polytheists and says to them: 00:10:49.500 --> 00:10:53.820 What did you answer the messengers regarding what we sent them to you? 00:10:54.379 --> 00:10:59.220 From your prayers for our unity and disavowal of idols and idols 00:10:59.860 --> 00:11:03.899 So the argument blinded them, and they did not know what they were using as evidence 00:11:04.659 --> 00:11:07.580 They had no argument to use 00:11:08.220 --> 00:11:11.659 They do not ask about lineage and kinship 00:11:24.750 --> 00:11:29.230 As for those of the polytheists who repent and are sincere in God’s divinity 00:11:29.789 --> 00:11:33.710 He believed in his Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:11:34.230 --> 00:11:36.070 And he did what God commanded 00:11:36.750 --> 00:11:40.590 He is one of the successful people who realizes his request to God 00:11:41.070 --> 00:11:43.190 Eternally in his paradise 00:12:01.370 --> 00:12:06.259 And your Lord, O Muhammad, creates whatever He wants to create 00:12:06.740 --> 00:12:11.179 He chooses for guidance, faith, and good deeds from his creation 00:12:11.179 --> 00:12:14.500 What he already knew was their choice 00:12:15.299 --> 00:12:20.620 For the sake of these polytheists, their gods had the choice of their money 00:12:21.100 --> 00:12:24.779 So is my choice of myself and my shunning of my state 00:12:24.779 --> 00:12:27.100 The choice of my kingdom and my creation 00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:30.940 In honor of God, my kingdom, and my kingdom 00:12:30.940 --> 00:12:37.220 It purifies God, disavows Him, and rises above the polytheism that the polytheists have added to it 00:12:46.580 --> 00:12:50.340 And your Lord, O Muhammad, knows what the breasts of His creation hide 00:12:50.820 --> 00:12:54.019 And what they express with their tongues and limbs 00:12:54.580 --> 00:12:56.139 But he means it 00:12:56.659 --> 00:12:59.460 It is the choice of whom to choose from to believe 00:12:59.820 --> 00:13:03.740 He is aware of the secrets and valleys of their affairs 00:13:18.860 --> 00:13:23.740 And your Lord, O Muhammad, the worshiped one, except to whom worship is not suitable 00:13:24.179 --> 00:13:26.460 Praise be to Him in this world and the hereafter 00:13:26.899 --> 00:13:28.940 And He has judgment among His creation 00:13:29.500 --> 00:13:34.299 To Him you will be returned after your death, and He will judge between you with justice 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:44.159 Say: Have you seen that God made the night eternal over you until the Day of Resurrection? 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:53.240 Eternal until the Day of Resurrection. Is there a god other than God who will bring you light? 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.559 Don't you listen? 00:13:58.210 --> 00:14:01.330 Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists in God 00:14:02.049 --> 00:14:03.049 People 00:14:03.690 --> 00:14:10.490 Have you seen that God made night perpetual over you, not day following it until the Day of Resurrection? 00:14:11.210 --> 00:14:15.490 Whoever is worshiped is not worshiped, to whom everything is worshiped 00:14:16.009 --> 00:14:19.809 He will bring you the light of day, and you will be illuminated by him 00:14:20.409 --> 00:14:25.490 Don't you pay attention to this and think about it and learn from it? 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:35.600 Say: Have you seen that God made the day eternal for you until the Day of Resurrection? 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:49.799 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? 00:14:51.490 --> 00:14:53.769 Say, O Muhammad, to the polytheists of your people 00:14:54.620 --> 00:15:04.340 Have you seen, O people, if God made for you an everlasting day with no night ever until the Day of Resurrection? 00:15:05.100 --> 00:15:09.340 Whoever is worshiped is not worshiped, to whom everything is worshiped 00:15:09.899 --> 00:15:15.139 He will bring you a night in which you will find peace and rest 00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:20.139 Do you not see with your eyes the difference between night and day upon you? 00:15:20.580 --> 00:15:29.659 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 00:15:31.250 --> 00:15:47.169 And out of His mercy, He made for you night and day, that you may rest therein and that you may seek of His bounty, and that you may be grateful. 00:15:49.049 --> 00:15:55.690 And out of His mercy toward you, O people, He made for you night and day, and He alternated between them 00:15:56.289 --> 00:16:03.490 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 00:16:04.330 --> 00:16:11.730 He made this day a light in which you can see and use your sight in it for your livelihood 00:16:12.289 --> 00:16:15.730 And thank Him for His blessings upon you 00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:26.139 And the day He calls them and says, “Where are my partners whom you claimed?” 00:16:27.460 --> 00:16:32.500 And the day your Lord calls, O Muhammad, these polytheists, and says to them 00:16:33.139 --> 00:16:39.700 Where are my partners whom you people claimed in this world to be my partners? 00:16:40.879 --> 00:17:00.080 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. 00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:09.019 And We brought from each group its witness, who is its prophet, who bears witness to what it responded to 00:17:09.779 --> 00:17:15.420 So We said to the nation of every prophet, “Bring your proof for associating yourself with God.” 00:17:16.289 --> 00:17:24.289 Then they knew that God’s decisive proof was against them, and that truth belongs to God and honesty is His experience 00:17:24.970 --> 00:17:28.130 So they were certain of a permanent punishment from God for them 00:17:28.890 --> 00:17:36.650 And they vanished, and those who were associating partners with God in this world, and who were not slandering and lying, went away 00:17:36.650 --> 00:17:42.650 It did not benefit them there, but rather harmed them and caused them to burn into Hell
