WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:05.169 --> 00:00:08.050 Summary from Tafsir al-Tabari. 00:00:08.589 --> 00:00:12.750 Abridged by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shamri. 00:00:12.910 --> 00:00:16.589 Surah Al-Mu'minun. 00:00:18.269 --> 00:00:22.030 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:22.030 --> 00:00:26.030 The believers have certainly succeeded. 00:00:26.030 --> 00:00:30.910 “Who are humble in their prayers,” (23:2) 00:00:30.910 --> 00:00:35.710 “And who shun vain conversation,” (23:3) 00:00:36.859 --> 00:00:40.619 They have attained eternal life in the gardens of their Lord and have triumphed. 00:00:40.619 --> 00:00:43.500 Those who believed in Allah and His Messenger. 00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:48.859 Those who are humble in their prayers when they stand for them, submitting to Allah. 00:00:48.859 --> 00:00:54.460 And those who turn away from falsehood and from what Allah dislikes of His creation. 00:00:54.460 --> 00:01:00.000 “And who are payers of the poor-due;” (23:4) 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.400 And those who guard their chastity. 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:13.680 Except with their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed. 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:21.840 But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors. 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:29.040 And those who are diligent in paying the zakat of their wealth, which Allah has obligated upon them. 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.879 And those who guard their chastity. 00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:38.640 Except from their wives whom Allah has made lawful for them through marriage, or those their right hands possess. 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:45.439 For whoever does not guard his chastity from his wife and his possession and guards it from others of creation. 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.959 Then he is not to be blamed or reproached. 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:54.159 So whoever seeks a spouse for his chastity other than his wife and his possession. 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.640 Then those are the transgressors of Allah's limits. 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:01.599 Those who exceed what Allah has made lawful for them to what He has made unlawful for them. 00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:08.240 And those who are mindful of their trusts and their covenants. 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:13.360 “And who pay heed to their prayers.” (23:9) 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:18.159 Those are the inheritors. 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:24.479 “Who will inherit paradise. There they will abide.” (23:11) 00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:29.340 And those who are mindful of their trusts, which they have been entrusted with. 00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:32.300 And their covenants, which they have made with people. 00:02:32.300 --> 00:02:35.419 They are guardians, fulfilling all of that. 00:02:35.419 --> 00:02:39.580 And those who are diligent in observing their prayers. 00:02:39.580 --> 00:02:44.699 They do not neglect them nor are they heedless of them until they pass. 00:02:44.699 --> 00:02:47.900 These are the ones whose description is this. 00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:53.180 They are the inheritors of the abodes of the people of the Fire in Paradise on the Day of Resurrection. 00:02:53.340 --> 00:02:56.460 They inherit the beautiful gardens with vines. 00:02:56.460 --> 00:03:02.539 They will abide therein forever, not moving from it. 00:03:02.539 --> 00:03:11.219 “Verily We created man from a product of wet earth;” (23:12) 00:03:11.219 --> 00:03:14.819 And We have certainly created man from a sperm-drop of Adam's lineage. 00:03:14.819 --> 00:03:16.819 And it is the essence of his water. 00:03:16.819 --> 00:03:21.759 And Adam is the clay, for he was created from it. 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:29.599 “Then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging;” (23:13) 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:34.319 “Then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators!” (23:14) 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.520 Then We made the clinging substance into a lump of flesh. 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:44.400 Then We made the lump of flesh into bones. 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.280 Then We clothed the bones with flesh. 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:51.680 “Then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators!” (23:14) 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:57.469 “Then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators!” (23:14) 00:03:57.469 --> 00:04:00.990 Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging. 00:04:00.990 --> 00:04:05.389 Where the man's sperm-drop settled within it, in the womb of the woman. 00:04:05.389 --> 00:04:11.150 And a place of establishment, for it was made suitable and prepared for it to settle therein. 00:04:11.150 --> 00:04:14.830 Then We turned the sperm-drop into a clot of blood. 00:04:14.830 --> 00:04:18.589 Then We made that blood into a lump of flesh. 00:04:18.589 --> 00:04:22.430 Then We made that lump of flesh into bones. 00:04:22.430 --> 00:04:24.910 Then We clothed the bones with flesh. 00:04:24.910 --> 00:04:30.350 Then We produced him as another creation. Then blessed is Allah, the best of creators. 00:04:30.350 --> 00:04:34.879 Then blessed is Allah, the best of creators. 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:41.519 “Then lo! after that ye surely die.” (23:15) 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:49.089 “Then lo! on the Day of Resurrection ye are raised (again).” (23:16) 00:04:49.170 --> 00:04:55.170 Then indeed, you, O mankind, after your creation, will die. 00:04:55.170 --> 00:04:58.610 And you will return to dust as you were. 00:04:58.610 --> 00:05:04.209 Then indeed, after your death, you will be resurrected from the dust as a new creation. 00:05:04.209 --> 00:05:07.980 As We began your first creation. 00:05:07.980 --> 00:05:12.939 And We have certainly created above you seven heavens. 00:05:12.939 --> 00:05:18.540 “And We have created above you seven paths, and We are never unmindful of creation.” (23:17) 00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:23.100 And We have certainly created above you, O mankind, seven heavens. 00:05:23.100 --> 00:05:25.339 Some of them above others. 00:05:25.339 --> 00:05:28.939 And We were not in Our creation of the seven heavens above you. 00:05:28.939 --> 00:05:32.300 Unaware of Our creation beneath them. 00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:38.620 Rather, We were their guardians, lest they fall upon them and destroy them. 00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:44.779 “And we send down from the sky water in measure, and We give it lodging in the earth, and lo! We are Able to withdraw it.” (23:18) 00:05:44.779 --> 00:05:47.740 So We settled it in the earth. 00:05:47.740 --> 00:05:54.910 “And we send down from the sky water in measure, and We give it lodging in the earth, and lo! We are Able to withdraw it.” (23:18) 00:05:54.910 --> 00:06:00.269 And We sent down from the sky water, and We settled it therein. 00:06:00.269 --> 00:06:05.790 And indeed, We are able to take away the water that We have settled in the earth. 00:06:05.790 --> 00:06:10.019 So you would perish, O mankind, from thirst. 00:06:10.019 --> 00:06:16.100 “Then We produce for you therewith gardens of date-palms and grapes, wherein is much fruit for you and whereof ye eat;” (23:19) 00:06:16.100 --> 00:06:23.939 And We have produced for you therein many fruits. 00:06:23.939 --> 00:06:27.980 And from them you eat. 00:06:27.980 --> 00:06:32.300 So We brought forth for you, with the water that We sent down from the sky. 00:06:32.300 --> 00:06:35.259 Gardens of palm trees and vineyards. 00:06:35.259 --> 00:06:38.540 For you in the gardens are many fruits. 00:06:38.540 --> 00:06:42.350 And from the fruits you eat. 00:06:42.350 --> 00:06:49.709 And a tree that emerges from Mount Sinai, producing oil. 00:06:49.709 --> 00:06:56.269 “And a tree that springeth forth from Mount Sinai that groweth oil and relish for the eaters.” (23:20) 00:06:56.269 --> 00:06:59.949 And We have also produced for you the olive tree. 00:06:59.949 --> 00:07:03.230 It emerges from a mountain that produces trees. 00:07:03.230 --> 00:07:08.430 And it is the mountain from which Moses, peace be upon him, was called. 00:07:08.430 --> 00:07:11.629 This tree produces fruit with oil. 00:07:11.790 --> 00:07:13.949 And a dye for those who eat it. 00:07:13.949 --> 00:07:18.579 They dye themselves with the oil that they eat. 00:07:18.579 --> 00:07:22.899 And indeed, in the livestock there is a lesson for you. 00:07:22.899 --> 00:07:26.899 “And lo! in the cattle there is verily a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, and many uses have ye in them, and of them do ye eat;” (23:21) 00:07:26.899 --> 00:07:30.339 “And lo! in the cattle there is verily a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, and many uses have ye in them, and of them do ye eat;” (23:21) 00:07:30.339 --> 00:07:34.500 “And lo! in the cattle there is verily a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, and many uses have ye in them, and of them do ye eat;” (23:21) 00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:37.459 And from them you eat. 00:07:37.459 --> 00:07:42.610 And upon them and upon the ships you are carried. 00:07:42.610 --> 00:07:47.810 And indeed, for you, O mankind, in the livestock there is a lesson by which you take heed. 00:07:47.810 --> 00:07:51.329 So you recognize the favors of Allah upon you. 00:07:51.329 --> 00:07:55.170 We give you drink from what is in their bellies, from milk. 00:07:55.170 --> 00:07:59.089 And for you, in addition to that, in the livestock are many benefits. 00:07:59.089 --> 00:08:02.050 And that is like the camels upon which one rides. 00:08:02.050 --> 00:08:05.250 And its back is ridden, and its milk is drunk. 00:08:05.250 --> 00:08:07.889 And from their meat you eat. 00:08:07.889 --> 00:08:11.410 And upon the livestock and upon the ships you are carried. 00:08:11.410 --> 00:08:13.410 Upon these on land. 00:08:13.410 --> 00:08:16.779 And upon these at sea. 00:08:16.779 --> 00:08:20.459 And We had certainly sent Noah to his people. 00:08:20.459 --> 00:08:23.180 And he said, "O my people." 00:08:23.180 --> 00:08:25.899 He said, "O my people, worship Allah." 00:08:25.899 --> 00:08:29.339 You have no deity other than Him. 00:08:29.339 --> 00:08:32.940 Then will you not fear Him? 00:08:32.940 --> 00:08:36.220 And We had certainly sent Noah to his people. 00:08:36.220 --> 00:08:38.220 And Noah said to them. 00:08:38.220 --> 00:08:41.419 Humble yourselves, O my people, to Allah in obedience. 00:08:41.419 --> 00:08:44.220 You have no deity worthy of worship other than Him. 00:08:44.220 --> 00:08:48.779 Then will you not fear that His punishment will befall you? 00:08:48.779 --> 00:08:53.100 And the eminent among his people who disbelieved said. 00:08:53.100 --> 00:08:56.940 "This is not but a human being like you." 00:08:56.940 --> 00:09:01.820 “But the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved, said: This is only a mortal like you who would make himself superior to you. Had Allah willed, He surely could have sent down angels. We heard not of this in the case of our fathers of old.” (23:24) 00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:07.659 “But the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved, said: This is only a mortal like you who would make himself superior to you. Had Allah willed, He surely could have sent down angels. We heard not of this in the case of our fathers of old.” (23:24) 00:09:07.659 --> 00:09:13.820 “But the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved, said: This is only a mortal like you who would make himself superior to you. Had Allah willed, He surely could have sent down angels. We heard not of this in the case of our fathers of old.” (23:24) 00:09:13.820 --> 00:09:21.740 We have not heard of this in our forefathers. 00:09:21.740 --> 00:09:24.700 And a group of the chieftains of Noah's people said. 00:09:24.700 --> 00:09:27.730 Those who denied the oneness of Allah. 00:09:27.730 --> 00:09:31.889 "Noah is nothing but a human being like you, O people." 00:09:31.889 --> 00:09:35.169 He wants to gain favor over you. 00:09:35.250 --> 00:09:39.009 So that he may be followed, and you will be his followers. 00:09:39.009 --> 00:09:42.690 And if Allah had willed that we worship anything other than Him. 00:09:42.690 --> 00:09:46.929 He would have sent down angels to convey His message to you. 00:09:46.929 --> 00:09:50.450 We have not heard of this that Noah is calling us to. 00:09:50.450 --> 00:09:53.649 That we have no deity other than Allah. 00:09:53.649 --> 00:09:57.019 In past generations. 00:09:57.019 --> 00:10:01.259 “He is only a man in whom is a madness, so watch him for a while.” (23:25) 00:10:01.259 --> 00:10:04.860 “He is only a man in whom is a madness, so watch him for a while.” (23:25) 00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:10.059 He said, "My Lord, support me because they deny me." 00:10:10.059 --> 00:10:13.340 “Then We inspired in him, saying: Make the ship under Our eyes and Our inspiration. Then, when Our command cometh and the oven gusheth water, introduce therein of every (kind) two spouses, and thy household save him thereof against whom the Word hath already gone forth. And plead not with Me on behalf of those who have done wrong. Lo! they will be drowned.” (23:27) 00:10:13.340 --> 00:10:15.659 Under Our observation and Our revelation. 00:10:15.659 --> 00:10:21.980 And when Our command comes. 00:10:21.980 --> 00:10:33.820 “Then We inspired in him, saying: Make the ship under Our eyes and Our inspiration. Then, when Our command cometh and the oven gusheth water, introduce therein of every (kind) two spouses, and thy household save him thereof against whom the Word hath already gone forth. And plead not with Me on behalf of those who have done wrong. Lo! they will be drowned.” (23:27) 00:10:33.899 --> 00:10:39.259 “Then We inspired in him, saying: Make the ship under Our eyes and Our inspiration. Then, when Our command cometh and the oven gusheth water, introduce therein of every (kind) two spouses, and thy household save him thereof against whom the Word hath already gone forth. And plead not with Me on behalf of those who have done wrong. Lo! they will be drowned.” (23:27) 00:10:39.259 --> 00:10:47.490 And do not speak to Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned. 00:10:47.490 --> 00:10:50.690 Noah is not but a man possessed of madness. 00:10:50.690 --> 00:10:54.159 So you wait concerning him for a time. 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:59.840 Noah said, "My Lord, support me against my people for their denial of me." 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:01.440 So We said to him. 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:04.879 "Construct the ark under Our observation and Our instruction." 00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:08.080 And by Our teaching you, you constructed it. 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:12.879 And when Our decree comes for your people, with their punishment and their destruction. 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:14.720 And the furnace will gush forth. 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:18.639 Then embark on the ark of every pair, two, of the creatures. 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.679 And your family, and his family, and his women. 00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:28.000 Except for whom the word has preceded against him from Allah, that he is doomed among those who will be drowned from your people. 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.159 So do not let him carry you with you. 00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:34.639 And do not ask Me concerning those who have disbelieved in Allah that I save them. 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:40.000 For indeed, I have decreed that they will all be drowned. 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:47.519 “And when thou art on board the ship, thou and whoso is with thee, then say: Praise be to Allah Who hath saved us from the wrongdoing folk!” (23:28) 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:54.320 “And when thou art on board the ship, thou and whoso is with thee, then say: Praise be to Allah Who hath saved us from the wrongdoing folk!” (23:28) 00:11:54.399 --> 00:12:03.600 “And say: My Lord! Cause me to land at a blessed landing-place, for Thou art Best of all who bring to land.” (23:29) 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:12.659 “Lo! herein verily are portents, for lo! We are ever putting (mankind) to the test.” (23:30) 00:12:12.659 --> 00:12:20.340 And when you and those with you are settled in the ark, riding upon it, elevated above it. 00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:25.220 “And when thou art on board the ship, thou and whoso is with thee, then say: Praise be to Allah Who hath saved us from the wrongdoing folk!” (23:28) 00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:30.500 And say, when Allah delivers you and brings you out of the ark and you descend from it: 00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:38.340 "My Lord, let me descend a blessed landing place, and You are the best of those who bring others to land." 00:12:38.340 --> 00:12:41.940 Indeed, in what We did to the people of Noah, O Muhammad. 00:12:41.940 --> 00:12:47.299 Is a lesson for your people, by which they may be guided to Our way in similar cases. 00:12:47.299 --> 00:12:49.700 So they may refrain from their disbelief. 00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:54.500 And We had tested them by reminding them of Our signs. 00:12:54.500 --> 00:12:59.220 So that We might see what they would do before We bring Our punishment upon them. 00:13:00.110 --> 00:13:07.309 “Then, after them, We brought forth another generation;” (23:31) 00:13:07.309 --> 00:13:18.990 “And we sent among them a messenger of their own, saying: Serve Allah, Ye have no other Allah save Him. Will ye not ward off (evil)?” (23:32) 00:13:19.539 --> 00:13:24.740 Then We brought forth after the destruction of Noah's people another generation. 00:13:24.899 --> 00:13:28.659 And We sent among them a messenger from them, calling them. 00:13:28.659 --> 00:13:33.860 "Worship Allah, O my people, and obey Him, not the idols and statues." 00:13:33.860 --> 00:13:38.019 You have no deity worthy of worship other than Him. 00:13:38.019 --> 00:13:43.059 Then will you not fear Allah's punishment for worshipping something other than Him? 00:13:43.059 --> 00:13:52.190 “And the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, and whom We had made soft in the life of the world, said: This is only a mortal like you, who eateth of that whereof ye eat and drinketh of that ye drink.” (23:33) 00:13:52.190 --> 00:14:05.149 “And the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, and whom We had made soft in the life of the world, said: This is only a mortal like you, who eateth of that whereof ye eat and drinketh of that ye drink.” (23:33) 00:14:05.149 --> 00:14:14.100 “And the chieftains of his folk, who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, and whom We had made soft in the life of the world, said: This is only a mortal like you, who eateth of that whereof ye eat and drinketh of that ye drink.” (23:33) 00:14:14.100 --> 00:14:21.779 And the chiefs of Thamud, who disbelieved in the oneness of Allah and denied Allah in the Hereafter, said. 00:14:21.860 --> 00:14:27.460 And We had bestowed upon them in their worldly life with what We had provided for them in terms of sustenance. 00:14:27.460 --> 00:14:30.820 Until they became arrogant and transgressed against their Lord. 00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:36.179 They said, "Has Allah sent Salih to us as a messenger from among us?" 00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:41.220 "And He singled him out for prophethood over us, while he is a human being like us." 00:14:41.220 --> 00:14:47.889 "He eats from what we eat and drinks from what we drink." 00:14:47.889 --> 00:14:55.250 “If ye were to obey a mortal like yourselves, then, lo! ye surely would be losers.” (23:34) 00:14:55.250 --> 00:15:06.129 “Doth he promise you that you, when ye are dead and have become dust and bones, will (again) be brought forth?” (23:35) 00:15:06.129 --> 00:15:13.169 And if you obey a human being like yourselves, and follow him and accept what he says and believe him. 00:15:13.250 --> 00:15:19.809 Then indeed, O people, you would be losers of your share of honor and elevation in this world. 00:15:19.809 --> 00:15:27.409 They said to them, "Does Salih promise you that when you die and become dust in your graves." 00:15:27.409 --> 00:15:37.169 "And bones, after the flesh of your bodies has decayed, that you will be brought out of your graves alive as you were before your death?"
