WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:05.169 --> 00:00:08.009 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari. 00:00:08.630 --> 00:00:12.710 Abridged by Dr. Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari. 00:00:14.220 --> 00:00:16.219 Surah al-Tawbah. 00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:26.579 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:26.579 --> 00:00:33.140 “The road (of blame) is only against those who ask for leave of thee (to stay at home) when they are rich. They are content to be with the useless. Allah hath sealed their hearts so that they know not.” (9:93) 00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:48.219 “The road (of blame) is only against those who ask for leave of thee (to stay at home) when they are rich. They are content to be with the useless. Allah hath sealed their hearts so that they know not.” (9:93) 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.320 What is the path to punishing those who have a valid excuse, O Muhammad? 00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:58.119 Rather, this applies to those who seek your permission to abandon the struggle alongside you. 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:02.280 Even though they possess wealth, strength, and the capacity for the struggle. 00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.200 They do so out of hypocrisy and doubt regarding the promise and warning of Allah. 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.400 They were content to remain behind you, sitting with the women in their homes. 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.959 Allah has set a seal upon their hearts because of the sins they have committed. 00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:20.599 Thus, they do not realize the evil consequences of their failure to join you. 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.480 “They will make excuse to you (Muslims) when ye return unto them. Say: Make no excuse, for we shall not believe you. Allah hath told us tidings of you. Allah and His messenger will see your conduct, and then ye will be brought back unto Him Who knoweth the Invisible as well as the Visible, and He will tell you what ye used to do.” (9:94) 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:35.040 “They will make excuse to you (Muslims) when ye return unto them. Say: Make no excuse, for we shall not believe you. Allah hath told us tidings of you. Allah and His messenger will see your conduct, and then ye will be brought back unto Him Who knoweth the Invisible as well as the Visible, and He will tell you what ye used to do.” (9:94) 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:50.760 “They will make excuse to you (Muslims) when ye return unto them. Say: Make no excuse, for we shall not believe you. Allah hath told us tidings of you. Allah and His messenger will see your conduct, and then ye will be brought back unto Him Who knoweth the Invisible as well as the Visible, and He will tell you what ye used to do.” (9:94) 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:56.599 He will inform you of what you used to do. 00:01:57.989 --> 00:02:00.870 These people who failed to join the struggle will offer you excuses, O believers in Allah. 00:02:01.230 --> 00:02:03.670 They will lie to you. 00:02:04.230 --> 00:02:06.829 When you return to them from your struggle. 00:02:07.510 --> 00:02:10.469 Say to them, O Muhammad, "Do not offer excuses." 00:02:10.949 --> 00:02:13.469 "We will not believe you regarding what you say." 00:02:14.110 --> 00:02:18.550 Allah has already informed us of your situation, through which we have come to know your lies. 00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:22.550 Allah and His Messenger will observe your actions hereafter. 00:02:23.110 --> 00:02:26.710 Will you repent from your hypocrisy, or will you persist in it? 00:02:27.310 --> 00:02:31.830 Then you will return after your death to the Knower of the unseen and the seen. 00:02:32.389 --> 00:02:36.789 He will inform you of all your deeds, both the evil and the good. 00:02:37.229 --> 00:02:38.830 And He will recompense you for them. 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:47.759 “They will swear by Allah unto you, when ye return unto them, that ye may let them be. Let them be, for lo! they are unclean, and their abode is hell as the reward for what they used to earn.” (9:95) 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:53.360 “They will swear by Allah unto you, when ye return unto them, that ye may let them be. Let them be, for lo! they are unclean, and their abode is hell as the reward for what they used to earn.” (9:95) 00:02:53.840 --> 00:03:01.560 “They will swear by Allah unto you, when ye return unto them, that ye may let them be. Let them be, for lo! they are unclean, and their abode is hell as the reward for what they used to earn.” (9:95) 00:03:03.090 --> 00:03:07.530 These hypocrites will swear to you, O believers in Allah. 00:03:08.169 --> 00:03:11.729 When you return to them from your expedition, so that you might turn away from them. 00:03:12.409 --> 00:03:18.210 So leave them alone, turn away from them, and let them choose disbelief and hypocrisy for themselves. 00:03:18.849 --> 00:03:21.849 They are impure, and their dwelling place is Hell. 00:03:22.370 --> 00:03:27.729 As a recompense for the deeds they used to commit in this world, which were acts of disobedience to Allah. 00:03:29.550 --> 00:03:32.830 “They swear unto you, that ye may accept them. Though ye accept them. Allah verily accepteth not wrongdoing folk.” (9:96) 00:03:33.349 --> 00:03:42.469 “They swear unto you, that ye may accept them. Though ye accept them. Allah verily accepteth not wrongdoing folk.” (9:96) 00:03:44.129 --> 00:03:48.530 These hypocrites will swear to you, O believers in Allah. 00:03:48.969 --> 00:03:51.810 Offering false excuses so that you may be pleased with them. 00:03:52.530 --> 00:03:57.250 But if you, O believers, are pleased with them and accept their excuses. 00:03:57.849 --> 00:04:01.289 Your pleasure with them will not benefit them at all before Allah. 00:04:01.889 --> 00:04:04.490 Because Allah knows the secrets of their affairs. 00:04:05.009 --> 00:04:08.530 And that they are those who have departed from faith to disbelief in Allah. 00:04:09.050 --> 00:04:11.129 And from obedience to disobedience. 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:17.759 “The wandering Arabs are more hard in disbelief and hypocrisy, and more likely to be ignorant of the limits which Allah hath revealed unto His messenger. And Allah is Knower, Wise.” (9:97) 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:23.399 “The wandering Arabs are more hard in disbelief and hypocrisy, and more likely to be ignorant of the limits which Allah hath revealed unto His messenger. And Allah is Knower, Wise.” (9:97) 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:30.600 “The wandering Arabs are more hard in disbelief and hypocrisy, and more likely to be ignorant of the limits which Allah hath revealed unto His messenger. And Allah is Knower, Wise.” (9:97) 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.839 And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. 00:04:36.500 --> 00:04:39.500 The Bedouins are the most hardened in denying the oneness of Allah. 00:04:39.540 --> 00:04:43.660 And the most intense in hypocrisy compared to the city dwellers in the villages and urban centers. 00:04:44.259 --> 00:04:48.459 And they are the most likely not to know the limits of what Allah has revealed to His Messenger. 00:04:49.060 --> 00:04:53.259 And Allah is All-Knowing of those who know the limits of what He revealed to His Messenger. 00:04:53.740 --> 00:04:56.459 And He knows the hypocrite and the disbeliever among them. 00:04:57.060 --> 00:04:59.579 He is All-Wise in His management of them. 00:05:00.060 --> 00:05:05.819 And in His forbearance regarding their punishment, despite His knowledge of their secrets and their deception of the allies. 00:05:07.470 --> 00:05:13.949 “And of the wandering Arabs there is he who taketh that which he expendeth (for the cause of Allah) as a loss, and awaiteth (evil) turns of fortune for you (that he may be rid of it). The evil turn of fortune will be theirs. Allah is Hearer, Knower.” (9:98) 00:05:13.949 --> 00:05:17.750 And he awaits for you the turns of fortune. 00:05:18.230 --> 00:05:23.149 Upon them is the turn of evil. 00:05:23.550 --> 00:05:27.269 And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:35.360 And among the Bedouins are those who consider what they spend in the struggle against the polytheists or in aiding a Muslim. 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:37.000 To be a loss and a burden. 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:42.240 They do not hope for any reward for it, nor do they ward off any punishment from themselves by it. 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:44.920 And they await for you the turns of fortune. 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:50.839 That the days and nights might turn against you with misfortune and the victory of your enemy. 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.279 Allah has brought the turn of evil upon them. 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:56.560 And the descent of misfortune upon them. 00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.920 And Allah is All-Hearing of the supplications of those who pray. 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.160 All-Knowing of their schemes. 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.319 And of the punishment of Allah that is descending upon them. 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.240 And of what they are destined for regarding His painful punishment. 00:06:10.709 --> 00:06:16.589 “And of the wandering Arabs there is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day, and taketh that which he expendeth and also the prayers of the messenger as acceptable offerings in the sight of Allah. Lo! verily it is an acceptable offering for them. Allah will bring them into His mercy. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (9:99) 00:06:16.589 --> 00:06:20.629 “And of the wandering Arabs there is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day, and taketh that which he expendeth and also the prayers of the messenger as acceptable offerings in the sight of Allah. Lo! verily it is an acceptable offering for them. Allah will bring them into His mercy. Lo!

Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (9:99) 00:06:38.509 --> 00:06:44.269 Indeed, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. 00:06:46.019 --> 00:06:50.420 And among the Bedouins are those who believe in Allah and acknowledge His oneness. 00:06:50.819 --> 00:06:52.459 And in the resurrection after death. 00:06:52.899 --> 00:06:54.500 And in the reward and the punishment. 00:06:55.100 --> 00:06:59.019 And he intends by what he spends in the struggle against the polytheists. 00:06:59.379 --> 00:07:02.980 Acts of devotion that bring him closer to the pleasure and love of Allah. 00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:08.420 And he seeks by his spending the supplication of the Messenger and his seeking forgiveness for him. 00:07:09.129 --> 00:07:13.850 Verily, the spending he makes is a means of nearness for them before Allah. 00:07:14.329 --> 00:07:18.129 Allah will admit them into the fold of His mercy and cause them to enter Paradise. 00:07:18.689 --> 00:07:21.129 Indeed, Allah is Forgiving of what they have committed. 00:07:21.529 --> 00:07:25.889 Merciful to them, that He would not punish them after their repentance and their reform. 00:07:27.339 --> 00:07:33.699 “And the first to lead the way, of the Muhajirin and the Ansar, and those who followed them in goodness - Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him, and He hath made ready for them Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. That is the supreme triumph.” (9:100) 00:07:33.699 --> 00:07:43.579 “And the first to lead the way, of the Muhajirin and the Ansar, and those who followed them in goodness - Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him, and He hath made ready for them Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. That is the supreme triumph.” (9:100) 00:07:43.579 --> 00:07:52.019 “And the first to lead the way, of the Muhajirin and the Ansar, and those who followed them in goodness - Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him, and He hath made ready for them Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. That is the supreme triumph.” (9:100) 00:07:52.019 --> 00:07:55.060 Abiding therein forever. 00:07:55.060 --> 00:08:00.259 That is the great success. 00:08:26.019 --> 00:08:30.740 Allah is pleased with all of them because they obeyed Him and responded to His Prophet. 00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:37.220 And the foremost, the first of the Emigrants and the Ansar, and those who followed them are pleased with Him. 00:08:37.740 --> 00:08:41.019 Because of the abundant reward He has granted them for their obedience. 00:08:41.700 --> 00:08:45.179 “And the first to lead the way, of the Muhajirin and the Ansar, and those who followed them in goodness - Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him, and He hath made ready for them Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever.

We, We know them, and We shall chastise them twice; then they will be relegated to a painful doom.” (9:101) 00:09:10.340 --> 00:09:20.860 “And among those around you of the wandering Arabs there are hypocrites, and among the townspeople of Al-Madinah (there are some who) persist in hypocrisy whom thou (O Muhammad) knowest not. We, We know them, and We shall chastise them twice; then they will be relegated to a painful doom.” (9:101) 00:09:22.649 --> 00:09:27.370 And among the people who are around your city of the Bedouins are hypocrites. 00:09:27.889 --> 00:09:32.610 And among the people of your city also are groups of hypocrites. 00:09:33.049 --> 00:09:35.210 They have become accustomed to it and trained in it. 00:09:35.889 --> 00:09:39.490 You do not know them, O Muhammad, these hypocrites. 00:09:39.970 --> 00:09:42.129 But We know them. 00:09:42.730 --> 00:09:45.929 We will punish these hypocrites twice. 00:09:46.370 --> 00:09:51.889 Then these hypocrites will be returned, after Allah punishes them twice. 00:09:52.289 --> 00:09:53.889 To a great punishment. 00:09:54.450 --> 00:09:56.450 And that is the punishment of Hell. 00:09:58.669 --> 00:10:13.309 “And (there are) others who have acknowledged their faults. They mixed a righteous action with another that was bad. It may be that Allah will relent toward them. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (9:102) 00:10:13.309 --> 00:10:17.110 “And (there are) others who have acknowledged their faults. They mixed a righteous action with another that was bad. It may be that Allah will relent toward them. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (9:102) 00:10:17.429 --> 00:10:23.070 Indeed, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. 00:10:48.200 --> 00:11:13.230 Take from their wealth a charity to purify them and cleanse them thereby, and pray for them; indeed, your prayer is a source of tranquility for them. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. 00:11:21.149 --> 00:11:29.149 A charity that cleanses them from the filth of their sins, causes them to grow, and raises them above the ranks of the hypocrites. 00:11:29.149 --> 00:11:32.149 And pray for them for the forgiveness of their sins. 00:11:32.149 --> 00:11:36.149 Indeed, your prayer and your seeking forgiveness is a source of tranquility for them. 00:11:36.149 --> 00:11:40.149 And Allah is All-Hearing of your prayer when you pray for them. 00:11:40.149 --> 00:11:43.149 And of other than that from the speech of His creation. 00:11:43.149 --> 00:11:50.080 All-Knowing of what you seek through your prayer and of other matters concerning His servants. 00:11:50.080 --> 00:12:09.100 “Know they not that Allah is He Who accepteth repentance from His bondmen and taketh the alms, and that Allah is He Who is the Relenting, the Merciful.” (9:104) 00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:13.100 Do these people who failed to join the struggle not know? 00:12:13.100 --> 00:12:19.100 That it is Allah who accepts the repentance of those of His servants who repent, or rejects it. 00:12:19.100 --> 00:12:25.100 And He takes the charity of those who give, or rejects it, not Muhammad. 00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:29.100 So let them seek by that His countenance, not Muhammad or anyone else. 00:12:29.100 --> 00:12:36.100 And let them know that Allah is the One who turns to His servants with pardon when they return to His obedience. 00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:42.220 The Merciful to them if they turn to His pleasure away from His punishment. 00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:50.220 “And say (unto them): Act! Allah will behold your actions, and (so will) His messenger and the believers, and ye will be brought back to the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, and He will tell you what ye used to do.” (9:105) 00:12:50.220 --> 00:13:04.220 “And say (unto them): Act! Allah will behold your actions, and (so will) His messenger and the believers, and ye will be brought back to the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, and He will tell you what ye used to do.” (9:105) 00:13:04.220 --> 00:13:10.830 And say, O Muhammad, to those who confessed their sins among those who failed to join the struggle. 00:13:10.830 --> 00:13:13.830 Work for Allah in a way that pleases Him. 00:13:13.830 --> 00:13:18.830 For Allah will see your work, as will His Messenger and the believers in this world. 00:13:18.830 --> 00:13:24.830 And you will be returned on the Day of Resurrection to the One who knows your secrets and your public deeds. 00:13:24.830 --> 00:13:27.830 And He will inform you of what you used to do. 00:13:27.830 --> 00:13:31.830 What of it was sincere and what of it was for show. 00:13:31.830 --> 00:13:35.830 And what of it was obedience and what of it was disobedience to Allah. 00:13:35.830 --> 00:13:38.830 And He will recompense you for all of that. 00:13:38.830 --> 00:13:53.980 “And (there are) others who await Allah's decree, whether He will punish them or will forgive them. Allah is Knower, Wise.” (9:106) 00:13:53.980 --> 00:13:58.980 And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. 00:13:58.980 --> 00:14:03.720 And among those who failed to join you, O believers. 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.720 Are others deferred for the command of Allah and His decree. 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.750 Either He will withhold them from repentance through His abandonment. 00:14:11.750 --> 00:14:14.750 And punish them for their sins. 00:14:14.750 --> 00:14:18.750 Or He will grant them success to repent, so they repent from their sins. 00:14:18.750 --> 00:14:23.750 And Allah is All-Knowing of their affair and what they are destined for. 00:14:23.750 --> 00:14:28.750 All-Wise in His management of them and the management of others among His creation. 00:14:28.750 --> 00:14:30.750 No flaw enters His judgment. 00:14:30.750 --> 00:14:46.490 “And as for those who chose a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime, they will surely swear: We purposed naught save good. Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.” (9:107) 00:14:46.490 --> 00:14:52.490 “And as for those who chose a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime, they will surely swear: We purposed naught save good. Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.” (9:107) 00:14:52.490 --> 00:14:58.490 And they will surely swear, "We intended nothing but good." 00:14:58.490 --> 00:15:04.490 And Allah bears witness that they are indeed liars. 00:15:04.490 --> 00:15:12.159 And those who built a mosque for harm against the mosque of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:18.159 And out of disbelief in Allah, for their opposition to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, by doing so. 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:21.159 And to cause division among the believers. 00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:28.159 And as a station for whoever had fought Allah and His Messenger before they built that mosque. 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:33.159 And the builders will surely swear, "We intended nothing but kindness." 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:36.159 And to provide ease for the weak. 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:42.159 And those who are unable to go to the mosque of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, to pray in it. 00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:47.159 And Allah bears witness that they are indeed liars in that oath of theirs. 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:50.769 “Never stand (to pray) there. A place of worship which was found upon duty (to Allah) from the first day is more worthy that thou shouldst stand (to pray) therein, wherein are men who love to purify themselves. Allah loveth the purifiers.” (9:108) 00:15:50.769 --> 00:15:59.769 “Never stand (to pray) there. A place of worship which was found upon duty (to Allah) from the first day is more worthy that thou shouldst stand (to pray) therein, wherein are men who love to purify themselves. Allah loveth the purifiers.” (9:108) 00:15:59.769 --> 00:16:05.769 “Never stand (to pray) there. A place of worship which was found upon duty (to Allah) from the first day is more worthy that thou shouldst stand (to pray) therein, wherein are men who love to purify themselves. Allah loveth the purifiers.” (9:108) 00:16:05.769 --> 00:16:10.769 And Allah loves those who purify themselves. 00:16:10.769 --> 00:16:17.629 Do not stand, O Muhammad, in the mosque that these hypocrites built, ever. 00:16:18.629 --> 00:16:25.629 A mosque whose foundation was laid upon the fear of Allah and His obedience from the very first day it began to be built. 00:16:25.629 --> 00:16:29.629 Is more worthy that you should stand in it praying. 00:16:29.629 --> 00:16:32.700 Within the presence of the mosque that was founded upon piety. 00:16:32.700 --> 00:16:38.700 Are men who love to cleanse themselves with water when they come from the call of nature. 00:16:38.700 --> 00:16:42.700 And Allah loves those who purify themselves with water. 00:16:42.700 --> 00:17:12.750 Is one who laid his foundation on piety from Allah and His pleasure better, or one who laid his foundation on the edge of a crumbling cliff, so it collapsed with him into the fire of Hell? And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. 00:17:12.750 --> 00:17:18.650 Which of these who built the mosques is better, O people, in your view? 00:17:18.650 --> 00:17:23.650 Those who began building their mosque upon the fear of Allah are better. 00:17:23.650 --> 00:17:28.650 Or those who began building their mosque upon the edge of a crumbling cliff? 00:17:28.650 --> 00:17:33.650 So the crumbling cliff collapsed with its building into the fire of Hell. 00:17:33.650 --> 00:17:37.650 And Allah does not guide to righteousness in his actions. 00:17:37.650 --> 00:17:41.650 Anyone who builds his structure in other than its right and proper place. 00:17:42.650 --> 00:17:50.450 The structure they built will not cease to be a cause of doubt in their hearts. 00:17:50.450 --> 00:17:57.450 “The building which they built will never cease to be a misgiving in their hearts unless their hearts be torn to pieces. Allah is Knower, Wise.” (9:110) 00:17:58.450 --> 00:18:04.119 The structure of those who took a mosque for harm will not cease. 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.119 To be a cause of doubt and hypocrisy in their hearts. 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.119 They think that they were doing good in building it. 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.119 Unless their hearts are severed, and they die. 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:20.119 And Allah is All-Knowing of what these hypocrites and others are upon. 00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:25.119 All-Wise in His management of them and the management of all His creation.
