00:05:53,149 --> 00:05:55,550 And what could make you know, O Muhammad. 97 00:05:55,550 --> 00:05:57,699 What Saqar is? 98 00:05:57,740 --> 00:06:00,620 It is a fire that does not leave anyone in it alive. 99 00:06:00,620 --> 00:06:03,620 Nor does it leave anyone in it dead. 100 00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:07,899 But it burns them whenever their creation is renewed. 101 00:06:07,899 --> 00:06:10,699 It alters the skin of its people. 102 00:06:10,699 --> 00:06:12,019 Over Saqar. 103 00:06:12,019 --> 00:06:14,660 Are nineteen keepers. 104 00:06:14,660 --> 00:06:18,620 And We did not make the keepers of the Fire except angels. 105 00:06:18,620 --> 00:06:21,540 And We did not make the number of these keepers. 106 00:06:21,540 --> 00:06:24,379 Except as a trial for those who disbelieved in Allah. 107 00:06:24,379 --> 00:06:26,259 From the polytheists of Quraysh. 108 00:06:26,259 --> 00:06:28,339 Because of their denial of it. 109 00:06:28,339 --> 00:06:30,740 And the statement of some of them to their companions. 110 00:06:30,740 --> 00:06:33,269 "I will suffice you against them." 111 00:06:33,269 --> 00:06:35,870 So that the People of the Torah and the Gospel may be certain. 112 00:06:35,870 --> 00:06:37,709 Of the truth of what is in their books. 113 00:06:37,709 --> 00:06:40,990 Regarding the report of the number of the keepers of Hell. 114 00:06:40,990 --> 00:06:43,350 Since it matches what Allah revealed. 115 00:06:43,350 --> 00:06:47,949 In His Book to Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 116 00:06:47,949 --> 00:06:50,470 And so that those who believe in Allah may increase. 117 00:06:50,470 --> 00:06:54,269 In belief upon their belief in Allah and His Messenger. 118 00:06:54,310 --> 00:06:57,910 By confirming the number of the keepers of Hell. 119 00:06:57,910 --> 00:07:00,589 And the People of the Torah and the Gospel will not doubt. 120 00:07:00,589 --> 00:07:02,069 The truth of that. 121 00:07:02,069 --> 00:07:07,589 Nor will the believers in Allah from the Ummah of Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 122 00:07:07,589 --> 00:07:11,470 And so that those in whose hearts is the disease of hypocrisy may say. 123 00:07:11,470 --> 00:07:15,110 And the disbelievers in Allah from the polytheists of Quraysh. 124 00:07:15,110 --> 00:07:17,750 "What did Allah intend by this as an example?" 125 00:07:17,750 --> 00:07:21,790 When He frightens us with these nineteen. 126 00:07:21,790 --> 00:07:26,310 Just as Allah leads astray these hypocrites and polytheists. 127 00:07:26,310 --> 00:07:30,990 Who say regarding Allah's report about the number of the keepers of Hell. 128 00:07:30,990 --> 00:07:35,069 "What did Allah intend by this report as an example?" 129 00:07:35,069 --> 00:07:38,230 When He frightens us by mentioning their number. 130 00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:40,389 And He guides the believers through it. 131 00:07:40,389 --> 00:07:45,279 So they increase in faith upon their faith through their confirmation. 132 00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:48,519 Thus, Allah leads astray whom He wills of His creation. 133 00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:51,240 Forsaking them from attaining the truth. 134 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,399 And He guides whom He wills among them, granting them success in attaining what is correct. 135 00:07:56,399 --> 00:08:00,759 And none knows the soldiers of your Lord, in their multitude, except Allah. 136 00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:07,149 And this Fire which I have described is nothing but a reminder to humanity. 137 00:08:07,149 --> 00:08:09,310 No, by the moon. 138 00:08:09,310 --> 00:08:11,829 And the night as it departs. 139 00:08:11,829 --> 00:08:14,750 And the morning as it brightens. 140 00:08:14,750 --> 00:08:18,589 Indeed, it is one of the greatest things. 141 00:08:18,589 --> 00:08:20,910 A warning to humanity. 142 00:08:20,910 --> 00:08:30,629 “Unto him of you who will advance or hang back.” (74:37) 143 00:08:30,629 --> 00:08:31,750 No. 144 00:08:31,750 --> 00:08:38,470 The matter is not as claimed by the one who thought he could suffice his polytheist companions against the keepers of Hell. 145 00:08:38,470 --> 00:08:40,990 Until he drives them away from it. 146 00:08:40,990 --> 00:08:44,190 Then our Lord, the Exalted, swore by the moon. 147 00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:46,830 And the night as it turns and departs. 148 00:08:46,830 --> 00:08:49,029 And the morning as it shines. 149 00:08:49,029 --> 00:08:51,750 Indeed, Hell is one of the greatest things. 150 00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:54,070 Meaning, the momentous affairs. 151 00:08:54,070 --> 00:08:56,350 A warning to the children of Adam. 152 00:08:56,350 --> 00:09:01,309 For whoever among you, O people, wishes to advance in the obedience of Allah. 153 00:09:01,309 --> 00:09:04,759 Or to lag behind in His disobedience. 154 00:09:04,759 --> 00:09:09,960 “Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds;” (74:38) 155 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,840 Except for the companions of the right. 156 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:20,120 In gardens, they will ask one another. 157 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,759 About the criminals. 158 00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:26,889 “What hath brought you to this burning?” (74:42) 159 00:09:26,889 --> 00:09:32,970 Every soul is bound by what it earned of disobedience to Allah in the world. 160 00:09:32,970 --> 00:09:35,409 Held hostage in Hell. 161 00:09:35,409 --> 00:09:37,490 Except for the companions of the right. 162 00:09:37,490 --> 00:09:39,929 For they are not held hostage. 163 00:09:39,929 --> 00:09:46,570 But they are in gardens, asking one another about the criminals who entered Saqar. 164 00:09:46,570 --> 00:09:50,539 "What led you into Saqar?" 165 00:09:50,539 --> 00:09:54,740 They will say: "We were not of those who prayed." 166 00:09:54,740 --> 00:09:58,500 "And we did not feed the poor." 167 00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:05,259 “We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,” (74:45) 168 00:10:05,259 --> 00:10:10,899 “And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,” (74:46) 169 00:10:10,899 --> 00:10:15,779 "Until the certainty came to us." 170 00:10:15,779 --> 00:10:17,980 The criminals will say to them. 171 00:10:17,980 --> 00:10:22,100 "We were not in the world among those who prayed to Allah alone." 172 00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:24,460 "And we did not feed the poor." 173 00:10:24,460 --> 00:10:28,980 Out of stinginess regarding what Allah bestowed upon us, and withholding it from its rightful recipients. 174 00:10:28,980 --> 00:10:32,899 "And we used to indulge in falsehood and in what Allah dislikes." 175 00:10:32,899 --> 00:10:35,340 "With everyone who indulged in it." 176 00:10:35,340 --> 00:10:40,100 "And we used to deny the Day of Recompense, reward, and punishment." 177 00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:44,379 So we did not believe in reward, punishment, or reckoning. 178 00:10:44,379 --> 00:10:48,769 Until death, which is certain, came to us. 179 00:10:48,769 --> 00:10:54,809 “The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.” (74:48) 180 00:10:54,809 --> 00:11:00,379 “Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,” (74:49) 181 00:11:00,379 --> 00:11:06,340 So the intercession of those whom Allah has permitted to intercede for the sinners among the monotheists will not avail them. 182 00:11:06,340 --> 00:11:08,980 For their intercession will benefit them. 183 00:11:08,980 --> 00:11:15,620 So why are these polytheists turning away from Allah's reminder to them through this Qur'an? 184 00:11:15,620 --> 00:11:20,139 They do not listen to it so that they might be admonished and take heed. 185 00:11:20,139 --> 00:11:26,179 As if they were frightened wild donkeys. 186 00:11:26,179 --> 00:11:29,580 Fleeing from a lion. 187 00:11:29,580 --> 00:11:37,820 “Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah).” (74:52) 188 00:11:37,820 --> 00:11:44,169 “Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter.” (74:53) 189 00:11:44,169 --> 00:11:49,009 So why are these polytheists who associate partners with Allah turning away from the reminder? 190 00:11:49,009 --> 00:11:54,450 Turning away from it like terrified donkeys fleeing from a lion. 191 00:11:54,450 --> 00:11:58,970 It is not that these polytheists, in their turning away from this Qur'an. 192 00:11:59,009 --> 00:12:02,490 Do not know that it is from Allah. 193 00:12:02,490 --> 00:12:08,929 But every man among them wants to be brought a scripture from the sky, revealed to him. 194 00:12:08,929 --> 00:12:11,090 The matter is not as they claim. 195 00:12:11,090 --> 00:12:15,730 That if they were given unfolded scrolls, they would believe. 196 00:12:15,730 --> 00:12:18,889 But they do not fear the punishment of Allah. 197 00:12:18,889 --> 00:12:23,009 Nor do they believe in the Resurrection, reward, and punishment. 198 00:12:23,009 --> 00:12:27,370 That is what prompted them to turn away from the reminder of Allah. 199 00:12:27,409 --> 00:12:32,710 And made it easy for them to abandon listening to His revelation and what He sent down. 200 00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:36,509 No, indeed, it is a reminder. 201 00:12:36,509 --> 00:12:40,830 So whoever wills, let him remember it. 202 00:12:40,830 --> 00:12:48,350 “And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.” (74:56) 203 00:12:48,350 --> 00:12:54,259 “And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.” (74:56) 204 00:12:54,259 --> 00:12:55,299 No. 205 00:12:55,340 --> 00:13:00,259 The matter is not as these polytheists say regarding this Qur'an. 206 00:13:00,259 --> 00:13:04,779 That it is magic inherited and that it is the speech of humans. 207 00:13:04,779 --> 00:13:09,500 But it is a reminder from Allah to His creation, by which He reminds them. 208 00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:14,539 So whoever among the servants of Allah, whom Allah has reminded through this Qur'an, wills. 209 00:13:14,539 --> 00:13:15,820 Let him remember it. 210 00:13:15,820 --> 00:13:20,220 And take heed of it, and act upon what it contains of Allah's commands and prohibitions. 211 00:13:20,220 --> 00:13:25,620 And they will not remember this Qur'an, taking heed of it and acting upon what it contains. 212 00:13:25,620 --> 00:13:28,820 Unless Allah wills that he remember it. 213 00:13:28,820 --> 00:13:31,779 Because no one is capable of anything. 214 00:13:31,779 --> 00:13:37,460 Except by Allah willing that he be capable of it and granting him the ability to do so. 215 00:13:37,460 --> 00:13:43,299 Allah is worthy that His servants fear His punishment for their disobedience to Him. 216 00:13:43,299 --> 00:13:47,419 So they should avoid His prohibitions and hasten to His obedience. 217 00:13:47,419 --> 00:13:51,740 And He is worthy to forgive their sins if they do that. 218 00:13:51,740 --> 00:13:57,309 And not punish them for them, provided they repent from them. 219 00:13:57,309 --> 00:14:01,470 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
