WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.160 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.139 --> 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-Shammari 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.039 Surat Al-Zumar 00:00:18.620 --> 00:00:23.100 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.949 --> 00:00:32.789 Who is more unjust than he who lies about God and denies the truth when it comes to him? 00:00:33.109 --> 00:00:39.070 Isn't Hell a abode for unbelievers? 00:00:40.210 --> 00:00:44.450 Who among God’s creation is greater in libel than he who lies against God? 00:00:44.729 --> 00:00:47.369 He claimed that he had a son and his companion 00:00:47.689 --> 00:00:51.530 He lied about the Book of God when He revealed it to Muhammad 00:00:52.130 --> 00:00:55.890 Is there not a refuge in Hell for those who disbelieve in God? 00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:07.439 And whoever comes with the truth and believes in it, those are the righteous 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:20.079 They have whatever they wish with their Lord. This is the reward of the doers of good 00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:31.599 So that God may atone for them the worst of what they did and reward them with their reward for the best of what they did 00:01:51.219 --> 00:01:55.379 They will have with their Lord on the Day of Resurrection whatever their souls desire 00:01:55.939 --> 00:02:04.900 This is what they have from their Lord, the reward of one who does good in this world and obeys God in it and refrains from what He has forbidden in it 00:02:05.620 --> 00:02:13.300 And the reward of these benefactors is due to their good deeds, in order to atone for them the worst deeds that they have done in this world 00:02:13.780 --> 00:02:21.300 He will reward them with the best of what they did in this world, doing what pleased God with them, and not the worst of them 00:02:22.819 --> 00:02:37.060 Is not God sufficient for His servant, and they fear you with those besides Him, and whoever God leads astray has no guide 00:02:37.060 --> 00:02:48.979 Whoever God guides, no one can mislead him. Is not God mighty in vengeance? 00:03:07.979 --> 00:03:21.419 Whoever God abandons, He leads him astray from the path of truth. He has no one but him as a guide and guide to faith in God 00:03:22.219 --> 00:03:30.699 And whoever God enables to believe in Him and act according to His Book, there is no deviation for him that will deviate him from the truth upon which he is 00:03:30.699 --> 00:03:40.620 Isn’t God, O Muhammad, mighty in taking revenge on the infidels of His creation in taking revenge on His enemies who strive for His Oneness? 00:04:02.539 --> 00:04:18.939 Are they removing His harm or intending me to have mercy? Are they withholding His mercy? Say: God is sufficient for me. In Him, those who trust put their trust. 00:04:21.069 --> 00:04:30.589 And if you asked, O Muhammad, who created the heavens and the earth, these polytheists, he would say, “It is God who created them.” 00:04:31.310 --> 00:04:40.110 So say, O people, have you seen this whom you worship instead of God, if God wants me so badly in my livelihood? 00:04:40.750 --> 00:04:51.310 Will they reveal from me the harm that my Lord will inflict on me, and if He wishes me, by His mercy, to grant me abundance in my livelihood and abundance of wealth? 00:04:52.029 --> 00:05:00.029 And prosperity and well-being in my body. Will they withhold from me the mercy he wanted to bestow upon me? 00:05:00.829 --> 00:05:12.110 They will say, “No,” so say, “Allah is sufficient for me above all other things. He is the One I worship and the One to whom I fear in my affairs.” 00:05:12.910 --> 00:05:18.509 In God, he who trusts trusts, and let him trust in Him and not in anyone else 00:05:20.269 --> 00:05:29.149 Say, “O my people, work according to your position. I am a worker, and you will know.” 00:05:29.870 --> 00:05:39.389 Whoever receives a torment that will disgrace him, and an everlasting torment will befall him 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.360 Say, O Muhammad, to the polytheists of your people 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:49.519 Work, O people, to enable you to do the work you do and your homes 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:51.839 I am a worker as well 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:56.639 You will know to whom a torment will come that will humiliate and disgrace him 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.560 A permanent torment befalls him that will not leave him 00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:09.420 We have sent down to you the Book for the people in truth 00:06:10.060 --> 00:06:24.220 Whoever is guided, it is for his own soul, and whoever goes astray, it is his own fault, and you are not a guardian over them 00:06:25.870 --> 00:06:30.829 We have sent down to you, O Muhammad, the Book as an explanation to the people of the truth 00:06:31.310 --> 00:06:40.509 So whoever acts according to what is in the Book that we have revealed to you, he does so for himself because he has earned it the pleasure of God 00:06:41.069 --> 00:06:49.470 And whoever deviates from the Book that we have revealed to you, he is unfair to himself because he earns it the wrath of God 00:06:50.029 --> 00:06:58.829 O Muhammad, you are not a watchdog over the people to whom I sent you to monitor their deeds. Rather, you are a messenger 00:07:01.699 --> 00:07:08.579 Because souls die when they die and those who did not die in their sleep 00:07:09.220 --> 00:07:26.579 Then He withholds the one for which death has decreed, and sends the other for a specified period. Indeed, in that are signs for a people who reflect 00:07:27.899 --> 00:07:34.939 An indication that divinity belongs to God, to the exclusion of everything else, is that He kills and gives life 00:07:35.500 --> 00:07:40.860 God takes souls at the time of their death and takes them away when their term expires 00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:47.899 The woman who did not die also dies in her dream, and he catches the woman whom death decreed 00:07:48.699 --> 00:07:56.060 It was mentioned that the souls of the living and the dead meet in a dream and come to know each other, God willing 00:07:56.620 --> 00:08:03.259 If He wanted them all to return to their bodies, God would hold the souls of the dead with Him 00:08:03.819 --> 00:08:09.899 And he sent the souls of the living to return to their bodies for a specified period 00:08:10.620 --> 00:08:18.220 In God taking the soul of the sleeping and dead person and sending him back after this, the soul returns to its body 00:08:18.699 --> 00:08:23.339 His imprisonment for others is an example for those who think and ponder 00:08:25.019 --> 00:08:31.019 Or have they taken intercessors other than God? 00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:37.899 Say: If they did not have anything and did not understand 00:08:38.460 --> 00:08:41.899 Say to God, intercession for all 00:08:42.460 --> 00:08:50.539 To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and then to Him you will be returned 00:08:52.110 --> 00:08:58.990 Or did these polytheists take their gods as intercessors to intercede for them with God regarding their needs? 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:05.679 Tell them, O Muhammad, do you take these gods as intercessors as you claim? 00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:11.840 Even if they do not have the power to benefit you or harm you, and do not understand anything 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:18.240 Tell them that you worship her for that reason and that she will intercede for you with God 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:23.519 So be sincere in your worship to God, for all intercession belongs to Him 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:33.200 To Him belongs the authority and dominion of the heavens and the earth, and then your destiny rests with God, and He will punish you for associating yourself with Him 00:09:35.169 --> 00:09:42.690 If God alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the afterlife revolt 00:09:43.090 --> 00:09:50.049 And when he mentions those besides him, then they rejoice 00:09:51.419 --> 00:09:58.620 If God is mentioned alone and is called alone, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Day of Resurrection will repel 00:09:59.100 --> 00:10:07.740 And when he mentions the gods that they call upon, those who do not believe in the afterlife rejoice in that and rejoice 00:10:09.580 --> 00:10:17.259 Say, O God, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed 00:10:17.820 --> 00:10:27.659 Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, You judge between Your servants in that in which they differ 00:10:29.059 --> 00:10:35.940 Say, O Muhammad, O God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed 00:10:36.419 --> 00:10:41.379 You judge between your servants and separate them with justice on the day you gather them together 00:10:41.860 --> 00:10:49.620 In what they used to do in this world, they differed in what they said about you and your greatness and other differences 00:10:50.340 --> 00:10:57.700 On that day, you will judge with justice between us and those whose hearts are disgusted when you mention it alone 00:10:58.340 --> 00:11:00.820 And when someone besides you is mentioned, rejoice 00:11:02.450 --> 00:11:09.649 Even if those who wronged had all that is on earth and something like it with it 00:11:09.649 --> 00:11:18.850 So that they may seek refuge from the evil of torment on the Day of Resurrection 00:11:19.409 --> 00:11:26.129 And it seemed to them from God that which they had not expected 00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:34.980 Even if on the Day of Resurrection these polytheists will have all of the earth’s wealth and adornments 00:11:35.539 --> 00:11:37.620 And the same is doubled 00:11:38.259 --> 00:11:41.379 He accepted that from them instead of themselves 00:11:41.940 --> 00:11:46.659 They sacrificed themselves in all this to escape the evil of God’s punishment 00:11:47.460 --> 00:11:55.620 And on that day, God’s command and punishment appeared to them, which they had not thought before that that He had prepared for them 00:11:57.090 --> 00:12:06.049 The evils of what they had earned appeared to them, and what they had mocked befell them 00:12:07.549 --> 00:12:14.190 And the evil deeds they earned in this world will appear to them on the Day of Resurrection 00:12:14.590 --> 00:12:17.230 When they gave their books in their hands 00:12:17.710 --> 00:12:23.710 Then it became obligatory for them to suffer the punishment of God, which they were mocking 00:12:24.110 --> 00:12:25.710 It surrounded them 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:45.200 If harm befalls a person, he calls upon us, then when we bestow upon him a blessing from us, he says, “I gave him only knowledge.” 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:52.799 Rather, it is a temptation, but most of them do not know 00:12:54.480 --> 00:13:04.879 If a person is afflicted with misery, he calls upon Us seeking our help. Then, when We give him hope, We replace it with harm, prosperity, and prosperity. 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:16.960 He said, “I only gave what I was given of prosperity and abundance with the knowledge of what I have from God that I am worthy of His honor and His satisfaction with my work.” 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:21.679 Rather, You gave us that blessing, even if We afflicted them with it 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:27.200 But most of them, due to their ignorance, do not know for what reason they gave that 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:37.679 Those before them said it, but what they earned did not avail them 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.919 So the evils of what they had earned befall them 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:58.320 And those who are unjust among these people will be afflicted with the evils of what they have earned, and they will not be able to do anything helpless 00:13:59.649 --> 00:14:01.649 This article has said 00:14:02.129 --> 00:14:07.649 We gave it to those before them from the empty nations with knowledge 00:14:08.370 --> 00:14:13.570 And when the punishment of God came upon them, the deeds they were earning did not avail them 00:14:14.129 --> 00:14:16.850 Their service to their gods did not benefit them 00:14:17.649 --> 00:14:23.490 Those who said this statement were afflicted with the evil of the deeds they had earned 00:14:24.129 --> 00:14:26.690 So they were quickly disgraced in the world 00:14:27.570 --> 00:14:30.690 And those who disbelieve in God, O Muhammad, are among your people 00:14:31.169 --> 00:14:34.769 They will also be afflicted with the evils of what they have earned 00:14:35.409 --> 00:14:41.889 They will not miss their Lord, nor will they precede Him in flight on earth from His torment when He descends upon them 00:15:03.629 --> 00:15:06.190 O Muhammad, did he not know these people? 00:15:06.750 --> 00:15:09.230 Distress and prosperity are in the hands of God 00:15:09.789 --> 00:15:13.230 He extends sustenance to whomever He wills and expands it for Him 00:15:13.710 --> 00:15:16.990 He controls that over whomever He wishes and makes it difficult for him 00:15:17.860 --> 00:15:20.659 Indeed, in God’s extension of sustenance to whomever He wills 00:15:21.059 --> 00:15:23.059 And limit it to whoever wants 00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:26.899 Connotations for people who believe in the truth 00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:29.779 They will acknowledge it when you find out 00:15:29.779 --> 00:15:35.309 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
