WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.039 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:12.740 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammar 00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:16.309 Surah Yunus 00:00:16.309 --> 00:00:22.690 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:26.019 And recite to them the news of Noah 00:00:26.019 --> 00:00:33.780 When he said to his people: O my people, if my calamities are too great for you 00:00:33.979 --> 00:00:39.380 O my people, if my position is difficult for you 00:00:39.380 --> 00:00:45.859 And remind me of God’s verses 00:00:45.859 --> 00:00:48.219 In God I trust 00:00:48.219 --> 00:00:55.380 So gather your affairs and your partners 00:00:55.380 --> 00:01:06.530 Then let your matter not be a burden upon you 00:01:06.530 --> 00:01:12.010 Then they judged me without looking back 00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:16.810 Recite to these polytheists the news of Noah 00:01:17.290 --> 00:01:24.609 When he said to his people, “O my people, if my position among you is too great for you and too difficult for you.” 00:01:25.090 --> 00:01:27.530 And I advise you with God’s arguments 00:01:27.969 --> 00:01:30.609 So you decided to kill me or expel me 00:01:31.209 --> 00:01:34.129 In God I rely and in Him I trust 00:01:34.689 --> 00:01:37.689 So prepare your affairs and call upon your gods 00:01:38.170 --> 00:01:41.890 Then let your matter not be ambiguous or problematic 00:01:42.409 --> 00:01:47.569 Then go ahead and finish what is in your mind, and do not delay 00:01:47.969 --> 00:01:50.450 Because he is not afraid of their plots 00:01:51.129 --> 00:01:56.489 This is an urging from God to His Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to punish him 00:01:58.140 --> 00:02:03.700 If you turn away, I will not ask you for any reward 00:02:04.219 --> 00:02:07.340 My reward is only from God 00:02:07.900 --> 00:02:12.419 I was commanded to be a Muslim 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.000 If you, O people, turn away from me 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.199 After conveying the message of my Lord to you, you will be in control 00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:25.240 So you will be lost and there will be a difference in the duty of God’s right upon you 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.520 Not because of me 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.919 For I did not ask you for any reward for what I called you to do 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.960 The reward for my work is only with my Lord 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.560 My Lord commanded me to be one of those who submit to Him in obedience 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.520 Those who submit to His commands and prohibitions 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.719 And We made them caliphs 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:57.400 And We made them caliphs 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.879 And We drowned those who denied Our signs 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.960 So look at what was the outcome of those who were warned 00:03:09.449 --> 00:03:11.210 So Noah lied to his people 00:03:11.810 --> 00:03:14.810 So We saved him and those who were carrying with him on the ship 00:03:15.569 --> 00:03:18.889 And put those of us who were saved with Noah in the ark 00:03:19.210 --> 00:03:22.650 Caliphs on earth from his people who denied him 00:03:23.330 --> 00:03:28.330 We drowned out those who denied our arguments and evidence of our monotheism 00:03:29.050 --> 00:03:34.530 So look, O Muhammad, what was the outcome of those whom Noah warned, God’s punishment 00:03:35.090 --> 00:03:38.849 For the consequence of those of your people who lie to you is Mado 00:03:39.330 --> 00:03:43.569 Like what was the end of Noah's people when they lied to him 00:03:43.889 --> 00:03:45.169 If they do not repent 00:03:46.729 --> 00:03:52.250 Then We sent messengers after him to their people 00:03:52.569 --> 00:03:56.689 So they came to them with clear proofs 00:04:01.969 --> 00:04:07.490 They would not believe what they lied to before 00:04:08.210 --> 00:04:13.969 We also print the hearts of the aggressors 00:04:16.610 --> 00:04:19.209 After Noah, messengers were sent to their people 00:04:19.850 --> 00:04:24.290 Bring them clear evidence and proof of their truthfulness 00:04:24.970 --> 00:04:28.889 They would not believe what their messengers brought to them 00:04:29.370 --> 00:04:33.889 What the people of Noah and the empty nations before them denied 00:04:34.649 --> 00:04:38.529 Just as We impressed upon the hearts of those people and sealed them 00:04:39.050 --> 00:04:42.610 Likewise, We seal the hearts of those who transgress against their Lord 00:04:43.170 --> 00:04:46.009 So he went beyond what he was commanded to do regarding his monotheism 00:04:46.490 --> 00:04:49.649 A punishment for them for disobeying their Lord 00:04:51.259 --> 00:04:58.300 Then We sent from some of them Moses and Aaron 00:04:58.300 --> 00:05:04.860 To Pharaoh and fill him with Our signs 00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:09.980 So they were arrogant and were a criminal people 00:05:11.649 --> 00:05:14.490 Then We sent after these messengers 00:05:14.970 --> 00:05:16.250 Moses and Aaron 00:05:16.769 --> 00:05:20.490 To the Pharaoh of Egypt and the nobles and masters of his people 00:05:20.930 --> 00:05:25.769 With our evidence of the truth of what they called them to in terms of submission to God 00:05:26.410 --> 00:05:30.850 So they were too arrogant to acknowledge what Moses and Aaron called them to do 00:05:31.329 --> 00:05:34.810 They were a sinful people because they disbelieved in God 00:05:36.389 --> 00:05:41.949 When the truth came to them from Us 00:05:41.949 --> 00:05:46.949 They said that this is clear magic 00:05:47.470 --> 00:05:53.949 Moses said, “Do you speak to the truth when it has come to you?” 00:05:54.430 --> 00:06:00.430 Magic this, but the magicians will not succeed 00:06:01.850 --> 00:06:06.050 When the explanation came to them of what Moses and Aaron had called them to 00:06:06.569 --> 00:06:09.449 These are the arguments he brought to them 00:06:10.050 --> 00:06:16.170 They said that this was magic, making it clear to those who saw it that it was magic 00:06:17.009 --> 00:06:23.290 Moses said to them, “Do you say that the truth that has come to you from God is magic?” 00:06:23.970 --> 00:06:29.089 This is what it was said: Moses enchanted this truth that you see 00:06:29.810 --> 00:06:32.769 Magicians do not succeed or survive 00:06:34.540 --> 00:06:47.740 They said, "You have come to us to turn us away from what we found our fathers upon." 00:06:47.740 --> 00:06:57.899 And you will have pride in the land 00:06:57.899 --> 00:07:01.579 And we are not believers in you 00:07:03.089 --> 00:07:05.569 Pharaoh and his entourage said to Moses 00:07:06.250 --> 00:07:13.529 You have come to us to turn us away from the religion we found our fathers upon before your coming 00:07:14.089 --> 00:07:17.970 And you will have greatness, kingdom, and authority on earth 00:07:18.490 --> 00:07:25.610 And we do not acknowledge to you, O Moses and Aaron, that you are messengers sent to us 00:07:27.220 --> 00:07:32.980 And Pharaoh said, “Bring me every knowledgeable magician.” 00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:48.360 When the magicians came, Moses said to them, “Throw away what you are throwing.” 00:07:49.790 --> 00:07:56.509 And Pharaoh said to his people, “Bring to me every sorcerer who knows magic.” 00:07:57.269 --> 00:07:59.470 When the magicians came to Pharaoh 00:07:59.949 --> 00:08:05.550 Moses said: Throw whatever ropes and sticks you throw 00:08:07.209 --> 00:08:14.129 When they threw it, Moses said, “You did not bring magic.” 00:08:14.689 --> 00:08:24.009 God will nullify it. God does not correct the work of corruptors 00:08:25.420 --> 00:08:27.860 When they threw what they had thrown 00:08:28.420 --> 00:08:34.379 Moses said to them: “Whatever you bring with magic, God will remove it.” 00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:40.019 So God Almighty mentioned him by giving him authority over Moses’ disobedience 00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:45.700 A serpent surrounded it, devouring it until there was nothing left of it 00:08:46.340 --> 00:08:52.980 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 00:08:54.649 --> 00:09:01.610 God establishes the truth with His words, even if the criminals hate it 00:09:02.860 --> 00:09:06.659 And God confirms the truth that I have brought to you from Him 00:09:07.179 --> 00:09:09.139 So he is superior to your falsehood 00:09:09.659 --> 00:09:14.500 Even if those who have earned sin against their Lord by disobeying Him hate it 00:09:16.009 --> 00:09:25.250 Only a few offspring of his people believed in Moses out of fear of Pharaoh 00:09:25.769 --> 00:09:32.129 Out of fear of Pharaoh and his leaders lest he tempt them 00:09:32.570 --> 00:09:41.129 Indeed, Pharaoh was arrogant in the land, and he was one of the extravagant 00:09:42.429 --> 00:09:49.509 Only a descendant of his people, the Children of Israel, believed in Moses after the death of their fathers 00:09:50.029 --> 00:09:56.590 They were afraid of Pharaoh and his leaders lest they tempt them with torment and turn them away from their religion 00:09:57.190 --> 00:10:01.350 Indeed, Pharaoh is tyrannical and arrogant before God in his land 00:10:01.909 --> 00:10:05.389 He is one of those who transgress the truth into falsehood 00:10:05.789 --> 00:10:08.629 This is his denial of the oneness of God 00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:27.509 And Moses said, “O my people, if you believe in God, then put your trust in Him if you are Muslims.” 00:10:27.990 --> 00:10:37.470 They said, “We trust in God. Our Lord, do not make us a trial for the unjust people.” 00:10:37.909 --> 00:10:44.070 And save us with your mercy from the disbelieving people 00:10:45.309 --> 00:10:53.990 And Moses said, “O my people, if you acknowledge the oneness of God, then trust in Him and submit to His command.” 00:10:54.509 --> 00:10:59.669 He will not let down his guardian if you submit to God through obedience 00:11:00.659 --> 00:11:06.059 They said, “O Moses, we trust in Him and in Him we entrust our affairs.” 00:11:06.620 --> 00:11:10.980 O our Lord, do not test these people who disbelieve in us 00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:16.899 They desired God to protect them from being a tribulation to Pharaoh’s people 00:11:17.299 --> 00:11:20.419 A scourge and deterrence from following Moses 00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:23.659 And acknowledgment of him and what he brought to them 00:11:24.419 --> 00:11:26.779 Save us, O Lord, by your mercy 00:11:27.299 --> 00:11:31.179 So we saved from the hands of the disbelieving people, the people of Pharaoh 00:11:31.700 --> 00:11:33.980 Because they were enslaving them 00:11:34.419 --> 00:11:38.460 And they use them for the dirty things of their service 00:11:39.700 --> 00:11:48.019 And We revealed to Moses and his brother: “You should appoint homes for your people in Egypt.” 00:11:48.019 --> 00:11:50.860 And make your homes a qibla 00:11:51.299 --> 00:11:57.179 Make your homes a qibla and establish prayer 00:11:57.620 --> 00:12:01.059 And give good news to the believers 00:12:02.580 --> 00:12:08.100 And We revealed to Moses and his brother, “Take houses for your people in Egypt.” 00:12:08.659 --> 00:12:12.179 And make your homes into places of prayer 00:12:12.659 --> 00:12:16.740 They performed the required prayers within their prescribed times 00:12:17.299 --> 00:12:21.500 And give good news to the obedient one who establishes prayer, O Muhammad 00:12:21.899 --> 00:12:25.100 Believers receive a great reward from Him 00:12:26.490 --> 00:12:35.690 And Moses said, “Our Lord, You have come to Pharaoh and his people with adornments and wealth.” 00:12:36.129 --> 00:12:45.490 Adornments and wealth in the life of this world, our Lord, so that they may stray from Your path 00:12:45.970 --> 00:12:51.730 Our Lord, destroy their wealth and strengthen their hearts 00:12:52.169 --> 00:13:00.129 And harden their hearts, so that they will not believe until they see the painful torment 00:13:01.539 --> 00:13:02.700 Moses said 00:13:03.340 --> 00:13:08.539 O our Lord, you have given Pharaoh and the leaders of his people and their nobles 00:13:08.899 --> 00:13:11.299 Of the world's goods and furniture 00:13:11.779 --> 00:13:16.179 And money from the most valuable gold and silver in this world’s life 00:13:16.779 --> 00:13:22.220 That you may tempt them and lead your servants astray from your path, as a punishment from you 00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:28.220 And he said, “Our Lord, destroy their wealth and strengthen their hearts.” 00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:30.899 This is a prayer from Moses 00:13:31.460 --> 00:13:34.620 May God change their wealth from its original form 00:13:35.059 --> 00:13:38.220 And change it to a different state than it is in 00:13:38.740 --> 00:13:43.659 Imprint on their hearts so that they do not soften or become overwhelmed with faith 00:13:44.179 --> 00:13:48.379 They do not believe in the monotheism of God and acknowledge His oneness 00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:51.419 Until they see the painful torment 00:13:53.250 --> 00:13:58.090 He said, “Your prayer has been answered, so stand up.” 00:13:58.610 --> 00:14:09.159 So be upright and do not follow the path of those who do not know 00:14:10.529 --> 00:14:11.850 God said to them 00:14:12.490 --> 00:14:16.769 Your prayer has been answered regarding Pharaoh, his people, and their money 00:14:17.370 --> 00:14:21.129 So be upright and steadfast in the supplication of Pharaoh and his people 00:14:21.129 --> 00:14:25.169 Do not lead me to respond to God’s monotheism and obedience 00:14:25.889 --> 00:14:29.970 And do not lead me to follow the path of those who are ignorant of the truth of My promise 00:14:30.450 --> 00:14:32.330 So you ask me to judge me 00:14:33.009 --> 00:14:34.850 For there is no breaking my promise 00:14:35.409 --> 00:14:37.889 And my threat is coming down to Pharaoh 00:14:38.330 --> 00:14:42.620 My torment will befall him and his people 00:14:43.539 --> 00:14:45.779 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
