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-Shammar
Surah Yunus
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
And recite to them the news of Noah
When he said to his people: O my people, if my calamities are too great for you
O my people, if my position is difficult for you
And remind me of God’s verses
In God I trust
So gather your affairs and your partners
Then let your matter not be a burden upon you
Then they judged me without looking back
Recite to these polytheists the news of Noah
When he said to his people, “O my people, if my position among you is too great for you and too difficult for you.”
And I advise you with God’s arguments
So you decided to kill me or expel me
In God I rely and in Him I trust
So prepare your affairs and call upon your gods
Then let your matter not be ambiguous or problematic
Then go ahead and finish what is in your mind, and do not delay
Because he is not afraid of their plots
This is an urging from God to His Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to punish him
If you turn away, I will not ask you for any reward
My reward is only from God
I was commanded to be a Muslim
If you, O people, turn away from me
After conveying the message of my Lord to you, you will be in control
So you will be lost and there will be a difference in the duty of God’s right upon you
Not because of me
For I did not ask you for any reward for what I called you to do
The reward for my work is only with my Lord
My Lord commanded me to be one of those who submit to Him in obedience
Those who submit to His commands and prohibitions
And We made them caliphs
And We drowned those who denied Our signs
So look at what was the outcome of those who were warned
So Noah lied to his people
So We saved him and those who were carrying with him on the ship
And put those of us who were saved with Noah in the ark
Caliphs on earth from his people who denied him
We drowned out those who denied our arguments and evidence of our monotheism
So look, O Muhammad, what was the outcome of those whom Noah warned, God’s punishment
For the consequence of those of your people who lie to you is Mado
Like what was the end of Noah's people when they lied to him
If they do not repent
Then We sent messengers after him to their people
So they came to them with clear proofs
They would not believe what they lied to before
We also print the hearts of the aggressors
After Noah, messengers were sent to their people
Bring them clear evidence and proof of their truthfulness
They would not believe what their messengers brought to them
What the people of Noah and the empty nations before them denied
Just as We impressed upon the hearts of those people and sealed them
Likewise, We seal the hearts of those who transgress against their Lord
So he went beyond what he was commanded to do regarding his monotheism
A punishment for them for disobeying their Lord
Then We sent from some of them Moses and Aaron
To Pharaoh and fill him with Our signs
So they were arrogant and were a criminal people
Then We sent after these messengers
Moses and Aaron
To the Pharaoh of Egypt and the nobles and masters of his people
With our evidence of the truth of what they called them to in terms of submission to God
So they were too arrogant to acknowledge what Moses and Aaron called them to do
They were a sinful people because they disbelieved in God
When the truth came to them from Us
They said that this is clear magic
Moses said, “Do you speak to the truth when it has come to you?”
Magic this, but the magicians will not succeed
When the explanation came to them of what Moses and Aaron had called them to
These are the arguments he brought to them
They said that this was magic, making it clear to those who saw it that it was magic
Moses said to them, “Do you say that the truth that has come to you from God is magic?”
This is what it was said: Moses enchanted this truth that you see
Magicians do not succeed or survive
They said, "You have come to us to turn us away from what we found our fathers upon."
And you will have pride in the land
And we are not believers in you
Pharaoh and his entourage said to Moses
You have come to us to turn us away from the religion we found our fathers upon before your coming
And you will have greatness, kingdom, and authority on earth
And we do not acknowledge to you, O Moses and Aaron, that you are messengers sent to us
And Pharaoh said, “Bring me every knowledgeable magician.”
When the magicians came, Moses said to them, “Throw away what you are throwing.”
And Pharaoh said to his people, “Bring to me every sorcerer who knows magic.”
When the magicians came to Pharaoh
Moses said: Throw whatever ropes and sticks you throw
When they threw it, Moses said, “You did not bring magic.”
God will nullify it. God does not correct the work of corruptors
When they threw what they had thrown
Moses said to them: “Whatever you bring with magic, God will remove it.”
So God Almighty mentioned him by giving him authority over Moses’ disobedience
A serpent surrounded it, devouring it until there was nothing left of it
It is not appropriate to do the work of one who strives on God’s earth in a way that he hates and acts in it by committing sins
God establishes the truth with His words, even if the criminals hate it
And God confirms the truth that I have brought to you from Him
So he is superior to your falsehood
Even if those who have earned sin against their Lord by disobeying Him hate it
Only a few offspring of his people believed in Moses out of fear of Pharaoh
Out of fear of Pharaoh and his leaders lest he tempt them
Indeed, Pharaoh was arrogant in the land, and he was one of the extravagant
Only a descendant of his people, the Children of Israel, believed in Moses after the death of their fathers
They were afraid of Pharaoh and his leaders lest they tempt them with torment and turn them away from their religion
Indeed, Pharaoh is tyrannical and arrogant before God in his land
He is one of those who transgress the truth into falsehood
This is his denial of the oneness of God
And Moses said, “O my people, if you believe in God, then put your trust in Him if you are Muslims.”
They said, “We trust in God. Our Lord, do not make us a trial for the unjust people.”
And save us with your mercy from the disbelieving people
And Moses said, “O my people, if you acknowledge the oneness of God, then trust in Him and submit to His command.”
He will not let down his guardian if you submit to God through obedience
They said, “O Moses, we trust in Him and in Him we entrust our affairs.”
O our Lord, do not test these people who disbelieve in us
They desired God to protect them from being a tribulation to Pharaoh’s people
A scourge and deterrence from following Moses
And acknowledgment of him and what he brought to them
Save us, O Lord, by your mercy
So we saved from the hands of the disbelieving people, the people of Pharaoh
Because they were enslaving them
And they use them for the dirty things of their service
And We revealed to Moses and his brother: “You should appoint homes for your people in Egypt.”
And make your homes a qibla
Make your homes a qibla and establish prayer
And give good news to the believers
And We revealed to Moses and his brother, “Take houses for your people in Egypt.”
And make your homes into places of prayer
They performed the required prayers within their prescribed times
And give good news to the obedient one who establishes prayer, O Muhammad
Believers receive a great reward from Him
And Moses said, “Our Lord, You have come to Pharaoh and his people with adornments and wealth.”
Adornments and wealth in the life of this world, our Lord, so that they may stray from Your path
Our Lord, destroy their wealth and strengthen their hearts
And harden their hearts, so that they will not believe until they see the painful torment
Moses said
O our Lord, you have given Pharaoh and the leaders of his people and their nobles
Of the world's goods and furniture
And money from the most valuable gold and silver in this world’s life
That you may tempt them and lead your servants astray from your path, as a punishment from you
And he said, “Our Lord, destroy their wealth and strengthen their hearts.”
This is a prayer from Moses
May God change their wealth from its original form
And change it to a different state than it is in
Imprint on their hearts so that they do not soften or become overwhelmed with faith
They do not believe in the monotheism of God and acknowledge His oneness
Until they see the painful torment
He said, “Your prayer has been answered, so stand up.”
So be upright and do not follow the path of those who do not know
God said to them
Your prayer has been answered regarding Pharaoh, his people, and their money
So be upright and steadfast in the supplication of Pharaoh and his people
Do not lead me to respond to God’s monotheism and obedience
And do not lead me to follow the path of those who are ignorant of the truth of My promise
So you ask me to judge me
For there is no breaking my promise
And my threat is coming down to Pharaoh
My torment will befall him and his people
