00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:26.879 Unless those before them were among the lying nations, they asked that like their question 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.879 When what they asked for came to them, they denied their Messenger 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.879 We did not send signs to your people 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:37.879 Because if We sent the signs, they would deny them 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:42.879 In hastening their torment, We followed the path of nations before them 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:47.879 The signs, O Muhammad, were asked by your people, Thamud 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:49.879 So we gave her what she asked for 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:55.879 We made that camel a shining example for all who see it 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:57.879 It was their injustice 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.879 This is because they killed her and mutilated her 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.879 So their injustice was by stripping her and killing her 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:09.879 We do not send lessons and reminders except to intimidate our servants 00:08:11.579 --> 00:08:17.579 And when we told you that your Lord surrounds people 00:08:17.579 --> 00:08:25.579 We did not make the vision that we showed you anything but a test for people 00:08:25.579 --> 00:08:33.580 Except as a trial for people and the cursed tree in the Qur’an 00:08:33.580 --> 00:08:40.580 We fear them, but it only increases their tyranny 00:08:40.580 --> 00:08:47.580 And remember, O Muhammad, when we told you that your Lord encompasses people with power 00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:49.580 They are in his grasp 00:08:49.580 --> 00:08:52.580 Do not fear anyone from them 00:08:52.580 --> 00:08:59.700 We did not make your vision that we showed you on the Night of the Night Journey from Mecca to Jerusalem 00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:01.700 Except a calamity for people 00:09:01.700 --> 00:09:07.700 Those who apostatized from Islam when they were told of the vision that the Prophet saw 00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:10.700 So they became more and more persistent in their wrongdoing 00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:14.860 We did not make the cursed tree in the Qur’an 00:09:14.860 --> 00:09:16.860 It is the Zaqqum tree 00:09:16.860 --> 00:09:18.860 Except as a temptation for people 00:09:18.860 --> 00:09:21.860 Their temptation was in the tree 00:09:21.860 --> 00:09:24.860 The saying of Abu Jahl and the polytheists with him 00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:29.860 Muhammad tells us that there is a growing tree in Hell 00:09:29.860 --> 00:09:32.860 And fire eats trees 00:09:32.860 --> 00:09:34.860 How do you grow in it? 00:09:34.860 --> 00:09:39.860 We frighten these polytheists with the punishments we threaten them with 00:09:39.860 --> 00:09:46.820 Their fear of us increases only by a great extent of their disbelief 00:09:46.820 --> 00:09:49.820 And when we said to the angels: 00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:54.820 They prostrated to Adam, so they prostrated except for Iblis 00:09:54.820 --> 00:09:57.820 So they prostrated, except for Iblis 00:09:57.820 --> 00:10:01.820 He said: Should I prostrate to Him whom I created from clay? 00:10:01.820 --> 00:10:05.590 And remember when we said to the angels: 00:10:05.590 --> 00:10:09.590 They prostrated to Adam, so they prostrated except for Iblis 00:10:09.590 --> 00:10:11.590 He was arrogant and said 00:10:11.590 --> 00:10:16.549 Do I prostrate to Him whom I created from clay? 00:10:16.549 --> 00:10:20.549 He said: Have you seen this person whom you honored? 00:10:20.549 --> 00:10:24.549 Because you delay me until the Day of Resurrection 00:10:24.549 --> 00:10:27.549 Because you delay me until the Day of Resurrection 00:10:27.549 --> 00:10:33.549 I will only be touched by his vow for a little while 00:10:33.549 --> 00:10:36.289 Satan said 00:10:36.289 --> 00:10:39.289 Did you see this person whom you honored? 00:10:39.289 --> 00:10:41.289 So she ordered me to prostrate to him 00:10:41.289 --> 00:10:45.289 Because I delay my destruction until the Day of Resurrection 00:10:45.289 --> 00:10:47.289 To seize them 00:10:47.289 --> 00:10:51.289 I will eradicate them and I will win them over 00:10:51.289 --> 00:10:55.090 He said: Go, whoever follows you 00:10:55.090 --> 00:11:09.090 Hell is your reward, a generous reward 00:11:09.090 --> 00:11:11.730 God said to Satan 00:11:11.730 --> 00:11:14.730 Go, I have delayed you 00:11:14.730 --> 00:11:18.730 Whoever follows you from the descendants of Adam, peace be upon him 00:11:18.730 --> 00:11:19.730 So he obeyed you 00:11:19.730 --> 00:11:25.730 Hell is your reward and their reward is an abundant and perfect reward 00:11:25.730 --> 00:11:31.460 And provoke whomever you can with your voice 00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:39.460 And bring upon them your horses and your foot 00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:44.460 He shared the money and children with them and promised them 00:11:44.460 --> 00:11:50.070 Satan promises them nothing but delusion 00:11:50.070 --> 00:11:55.070 Be dismissive and ignorant of anyone you can provoke with your voice 00:11:55.070 --> 00:11:59.070 And gather your soldiers and infantry against them 00:11:59.070 --> 00:12:02.070 Who brings her prayers to your obedience 00:12:02.070 --> 00:12:04.070 And turn away from my obedience 00:12:04.070 --> 00:12:06.070 Share the money with them 00:12:06.070 --> 00:12:10.070 By spending their money in disobedience to God 00:12:10.070 --> 00:12:13.070 And acquired without solving it 00:12:13.070 --> 00:12:15.070 The children shared with them 00:12:15.070 --> 00:12:21.070 It includes every child who disobeys God by calling him something that God hates 00:12:21.070 --> 00:12:25.070 Or by introducing him to a religion other than that which God has approved 00:12:25.070 --> 00:12:29.070 Or by adultery with his mother or by killing or infanticide 00:12:29.070 --> 00:12:35.070 Promise your companions from the descendants of Adam to help against those who wish them harm 00:12:35.070 --> 00:12:38.070 Satan promises them nothing but delusion 00:12:38.070 --> 00:12:44.070 Because it does not avail them of God’s punishment if He inflicts anything on them 00:12:44.070 --> 00:12:50.779 My servants, you have no authority over them 00:12:50.779 --> 00:12:54.779 Your Lord is sufficient as a disposer of affairs 00:12:54.779 --> 00:13:01.350 My servants who obeyed me followed my command and disobeyed you, O Satan 00:13:01.350 --> 00:13:03.350 You have no argument against them 00:13:03.350 --> 00:13:07.350 O Muhammad, your Lord is sufficient to protect you 00:13:07.350 --> 00:13:10.350 So obey his command and convey his messages 00:13:10.350 --> 00:13:12.350 And do not fear anyone 00:13:12.350 --> 00:13:26.120 Your Lord is the one who launches the ships into the sea for you so that you may seek of His bounty.
