00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:45.399 And what has been sent down of the truth, and they will not be like those who were given the Book before 00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:58.399 So a long period of time passed for them, and their hearts hardened, and many of them were transgressors 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:05.890 Has it not come for those who have believed God and His Messenger that their hearts be softened to the remembrance of God? 00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:10.090 So their hearts submit to him and to what was revealed from the Qur’an 00:01:10.290 --> 00:01:15.689 Those who believe will not be from the nation of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:01:15.689 --> 00:01:20.090 Like those of the Children of Israel who were given the Torah and the Gospel 00:01:20.290 --> 00:01:25.890 A long period of time passed between them and Moses, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:01:26.090 --> 00:01:28.489 Then their hearts hardened away from good things 00:01:28.689 --> 00:01:33.489 Many of those who were given the Book are disobedient 00:01:33.489 --> 00:01:40.290 Know that God revives the earth after its death 00:01:40.489 --> 00:01:48.290 We have made clear to you the signs that you may understand 00:01:48.489 --> 00:01:55.120 Know, O people, that God revives the dead earth that does not grow anything 00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:58.120 After its revolutions and lessons 00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:02.120 Just as we revive this dead land after its lessons 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:05.120 Likewise the sigh of the lost man 00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.120 So we guide him and guide him to faith 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.120 We have shown you the evidence and arguments so that you may understand 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:25.919 The male and female donors who give charity, and God brings a good loan to them, which He will multiply 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.919 And they have a generous reward 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:38.819 The men and women who give charity and give God a good loan by spending in His cause 00:02:39.020 --> 00:02:42.819 God will multiply for them the loans they lent 00:02:43.020 --> 00:02:45.819 He will give them its reward on the Day of Resurrection 00:02:46.020 --> 00:02:50.819 They will have a generous reward, and that is Paradise 00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:59.520 And those who believe in God and His messengers - those are the truthful 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:06.520 And the martyrs with their Lord have their reward and their light 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:15.520 And those who disbelieve and deny Our signs - those are the dwellers of Hell 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:23.159 And those who acknowledge the oneness of God and believe the messengers - those are the truthful 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.159 And the martyrs who were killed for the sake of God 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.159 They will have God's reward and light in the afterlife 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:38.159 And those who disbelieve in God and deny His evidence and arguments - those are the dwellers of Hell 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:51.770 Know that the life of this world is only a game and an adornment and adornment and boasting among you 00:03:51.969 --> 00:03:56.770 And increase in money and children 00:03:56.770 --> 00:04:11.770 Like rain, the growth of which the disbelievers admire, then it becomes agitated and you see it turning yellow, then it becomes debris 00:04:11.969 --> 00:04:21.769 In the afterlife, there is severe punishment and forgiveness and satisfaction from God 00:04:21.769 --> 00:04:27.769 The life of this world is nothing but the enjoyment of vanity 00:04:27.970 --> 00:04:33.540 Know, O people, that the hastened enjoyment of this worldly life is yours 00:04:33.740 --> 00:04:40.540 They are nothing but toys for you to show off and adornments with which you adorn themselves 00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:44.540 And brag among yourselves, making you proud of one another 00:04:44.740 --> 00:04:49.540 You brag to each other about your abundance of money and children 00:04:50.540 --> 00:04:55.540 Like rain, the plant of which the disbelievers liked, but then that plant withers 00:04:55.740 --> 00:05:03.540 You see it turning yellow after it used to look green, and then that plant is broken 00:05:03.740 --> 00:05:12.540 In the Hereafter, there is severe punishment for the unbelievers, and forgiveness from God and satisfaction for the people of faith in God and His Messenger 00:05:12.540 --> 00:05:19.540 The adornments of the worldly life that are presented to you, O people, are nothing but the enjoyment of vanity 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:51.370 Race, O people, to work that will earn you forgiveness from your Lord and a Paradise whose width is as wide as the heaven and the earth 00:05:52.370 --> 00:05:58.329 This Paradise was prepared for those who are one of God and believe in His Messengers 00:05:59.329 --> 00:06:03.329 This paradise is God’s grace bestowed upon believers 00:06:04.329 --> 00:06:09.329 And God bestows God’s grace upon the believers 00:06:10.329 --> 00:06:15.329 And God bestows His bounty on whomever He wills from among His creation 00:06:16.329 --> 00:06:24.329 And He is the One of great bounty over them because He extended sustenance to them in this world and then rewarded them in the Hereafter for obedience 00:06:25.939 --> 00:06:35.939 No calamity befalls on earth or in yourselves but it is in a book 00:06:35.939 --> 00:06:47.220 Except in a book before We exonerate it. Indeed, that is easy for God 00:06:49.060 --> 00:06:57.060 What calamity has befallen you, O people, in the land, with its barrenness, its drought, the disappearance of its crops, and its corruption? 00:06:58.060 --> 00:07:05.060 Nor in yourselves with pains and illnesses except in the Mother of the Book, before We created souls 00:07:05.060 --> 00:07:12.060 Creating souls and counting the misfortunes that befall God is easy and simple 00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:26.079 So that you do not grieve over what you missed and do not rejoice in what He has given you, and God does not like every arrogant and proud person 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:32.910 No calamity has befallen you, O people, in your wealth or in your souls 00:07:33.910 --> 00:07:38.910 Except in a book in which this was written before we created your souls 00:07:39.910 --> 00:07:42.910 So that you do not feel sad about what you missed from this world 00:07:43.910 --> 00:07:48.910 And do not rejoice in what your Lord, your king, and your ruler has given you 00:07:49.910 --> 00:07:53.910 God does not like anyone who is arrogant with what he has been given in this world 00:07:54.910 --> 00:07:56.910 Proud of him people 00:07:58.649 --> 00:08:03.649 Those who are stingy and command people to be stingy 00:08:04.649 --> 00:08:11.649 And whoever turns away, then God is the Rich, the Praiseworthy 00:08:12.649 --> 00:08:16.540 Those who are stingy with what they are given in this world 00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:21.540 They are stingy in fulfilling God’s rights that He has imposed on them 00:08:21.540 --> 00:08:25.540 While they are stingy with it, they also command people to be stingy 00:08:26.540 --> 00:08:29.540 And whoever manages to turn away from God’s preaching 00:08:30.540 --> 00:08:33.539 He left me to do what he called me to do by spending for his sake 00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:38.539 God is the One who is independent of his money, his expenses, and the need of others 00:08:39.539 --> 00:08:43.539 Praiseworthy to His creation for the blessings He bestowed upon them 00:08:45.220 --> 00:08:48.220 We have sent Our messengers with clear proofs 00:08:48.220 --> 00:08:54.220 And We sent down with them the Book and the Balance 00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:02.220 For people to do justice 00:09:03.220 --> 00:09:08.220 And We sent down iron in it with great force 00:09:09.220 --> 00:09:14.220 And benefits for people 00:09:14.220 --> 00:09:21.220 And let God know who will support him and his messengers in the unseen 00:09:22.220 --> 00:09:26.220 God is powerful and mighty 00:09:27.220 --> 00:09:32.240 We have sent our messengers with detailed explanations and evidence 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:36.240 And We sent down with them the Book with rulings and laws 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:38.240 And the balance is fair 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.240 Let people act justly among themselves 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:47.240 And We sent down to them iron, in which there is great strength and benefits for people 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.240 This is what they benefit from when they meet the enemy 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.240 And other benefits 00:09:55.240 --> 00:10:00.240 Let Hezbollah know who supports the religion of God and His messengers in His absence from them 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.240 God is powerful in defeating those who confront him with hostility 00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:08.240 He violated his command and prohibition 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.240 Aziz in his revenge on them 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:16.240 No one can escape from the punishment that befell him 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:21.850 We sent Noah and Abraham 00:10:22.850 --> 00:10:27.850 And grant us prophecy and the Book among their descendants 00:10:28.850 --> 00:10:30.850 Some of them are guided 00:10:31.850 --> 00:10:34.850 Many of them are immoral 00:10:35.850 --> 00:10:40.519 O people, We sent Noah to our creation 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.519 And Abraham, his friend, was a messenger to them 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.519 And so was the prophecy in their descendants 00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:54.519 And upon them were revealed the books, the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, and the Criterion 00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.519 And all other well-known books 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.519 From their descendants are those guided to the truth and clairvoyant 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:07.519 Many of their descendants are misguided, deviating from obedience to God and disobeying Him 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:15.740 Then we followed in their footsteps with our messengers 00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:21.740 We stopped by Jesus bin Maryam 00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:25.740 And We gave him the Gospel 00:11:26.740 --> 00:11:32.740 And put compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him 00:11:33.740 --> 00:11:38.740 And monasticism they invented, we did not prescribe it to them 00:11:39.740 --> 00:11:45.740 We did not prescribe it to them except seeking the pleasure of God 00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:51.740 They did not take care of it with the right to take care of it 00:11:51.740 --> 00:11:56.740 So We gave those of them who believed their reward 00:11:57.740 --> 00:12:01.740 Many of them are immoral 00:12:02.740 --> 00:12:07.379 Then We followed in the footsteps of Noah and Abraham with our messengers 00:12:08.379 --> 00:12:10.379 We were followed by Jesus bin Maryam 00:12:11.379 --> 00:12:15.379 We placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed Jesus 00:12:16.379 --> 00:12:18.379 And compassion is the most severe mercy 00:12:19.379 --> 00:12:21.379 And monasticism they created 00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:24.379 So we imposed that monastic order on them 00:12:25.379 --> 00:12:28.379 But they invented it seeking God's pleasure 00:12:29.379 --> 00:12:31.379 They did not take care of it with the right to take care of it 00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:37.379 So We gave those who believed in God and His Messengers among those who invented monasticism 00:12:38.379 --> 00:12:41.379 Their reward for seeking God’s pleasure 00:12:42.379 --> 00:12:44.379 And their belief in Him and His Messenger in the afterlife 00:12:45.379 --> 00:12:50.379 Many of them are sinners and deviate from obedience to Him and faith in Him 00:12:51.379 --> 00:13:16.460 O you who have believed, fear God and believe in His Messenger. He will give you two measures of His mercy and give you a light by which you walk, and He will forgive you. And God is Forgiving and Merciful 00:13:17.460 --> 00:13:24.039 O you who have believed in God and His Messenger, from the People of the Book, the Torah and the Gospel. 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:28.039 Fear God by obeying Him and confront us with His disobedience. 00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:38.039 And believe in His Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace. He will give you double the reward and give you a light by which to walk. 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.039 The Qur’an is with the followers of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:47.039 A light for those who believe in them, believe in them, and are guided 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:51.039 Because whoever believes in this has been guided 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:55.039 He will forgive your sins and cover them for you 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.039 God is the Possessor of forgiveness and mercy 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:02.840 Because the People of the Book do not know 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:08.840 That they are not able to do anything of God’s grace 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:14.840 That they are not able to do anything of God’s grace 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.840 And the credit is in the hands of God 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:22.840 And the credit is in the hands of God 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.840 He gives it to whomever He wishes 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.840 God is of great bounty 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:36.929 Your Lord will do this to you 00:14:37.929 --> 00:14:44.929 So that the People of the Book may know that they are not capable of anything of the bounty of God which He has given you and allocated for you 00:14:45.929 --> 00:14:49.929 Because they believed that God had favored them over all creation 00:14:49.929 --> 00:14:58.929 So God informed them that He had given the nation of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, more grace and honor than he had given them 00:14:59.929 --> 00:15:04.929 And let them know that credit is in the hands of God, not them or any other creation 00:15:05.929 --> 00:15:08.929 He bestows His grace upon whomsoever He wishes of His creation 00:15:09.929 --> 00:15:12.929 God is the Possessor of great bounty for His creation 00:15:13.929 --> 00:15:18.529 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
