WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.080 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.539 --> 00:00:12.740 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 00:00:13.980 --> 00:00:16.140 Surah Al-Isra 00:00:18.250 --> 00:00:22.129 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:22.859 --> 00:00:25.980 We have honored the children of Adam 00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:29.100 We carried them on land and sea 00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:30.980 And We provided for them 00:00:30.980 --> 00:00:34.899 And We provided them with good things 00:00:34.939 --> 00:00:42.060 We favored them over many of those We created 00:00:43.009 --> 00:00:45.570 We have honored the children of Adam 00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:49.329 By giving them power over other creatures 00:00:49.329 --> 00:00:52.329 We subjugate the rest of creation to them 00:00:52.329 --> 00:00:55.890 We carried them across the land on the backs of animals 00:00:55.890 --> 00:00:59.689 And in the sea, in the ships that we made available for them 00:00:59.689 --> 00:01:03.689 We provided them with good restaurants and drinks 00:01:03.810 --> 00:01:08.250 We favored them over many of those We created 00:01:08.250 --> 00:01:11.090 By enabling them to work with their hands 00:01:11.090 --> 00:01:13.689 And take food and drinks with it 00:01:13.689 --> 00:01:16.209 And raise it to their mouths 00:01:16.209 --> 00:01:21.230 This is not possible for other people 00:01:21.230 --> 00:01:26.430 The day when we will call every people with their imam 00:01:26.430 --> 00:01:30.150 Whoever is given his book in his right hand 00:01:30.150 --> 00:01:34.629 They read their book 00:01:34.750 --> 00:01:41.459 They read their book and do not oppress a fuse 00:01:41.459 --> 00:01:44.260 The day when we will call every people with their imam 00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:47.260 whom they imitated in this world 00:01:47.260 --> 00:01:50.260 Whoever is given a book will do it with his right hand 00:01:50.260 --> 00:01:53.260 Those people read their book 00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:56.260 So they know everything in it 00:01:56.260 --> 00:02:00.260 And God does not treat them unjustly as a reward for their deeds 00:02:00.260 --> 00:02:04.260 It is the twisted one that is in the slit of the nucleus’s belly 00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:07.769 Whoever is in this is blind 00:02:07.769 --> 00:02:10.770 In the afterlife, he will be blind 00:02:10.770 --> 00:02:13.770 And I am astray 00:02:13.770 --> 00:02:17.379 Whoever is blind in this world 00:02:17.379 --> 00:02:20.379 About God's arguments that he is the only one 00:02:20.379 --> 00:02:22.379 By creating and managing it 00:02:22.379 --> 00:02:25.379 He is concerned about the afterlife, which he has not seen 00:02:25.379 --> 00:02:27.379 No blind person saw it 00:02:27.379 --> 00:02:30.379 And he is more misguided than him in matters of this world 00:02:30.379 --> 00:02:33.379 Which he has seen and seen 00:02:33.379 --> 00:02:39.860 Even if they almost tempt you away from what We have revealed to you 00:02:39.860 --> 00:02:42.860 To slander others against us 00:02:42.860 --> 00:02:46.860 And if they would not have taken you as a friend 00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:49.460 God mentioned that the polytheists 00:02:49.460 --> 00:02:53.460 They almost tempted the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:02:53.460 --> 00:02:55.460 What God revealed to him 00:02:55.460 --> 00:02:57.460 To work with others 00:02:57.460 --> 00:03:00.460 That is slander against God 00:03:00.460 --> 00:03:03.460 And if you did what they called you to do of sedition 00:03:03.460 --> 00:03:06.460 They would have taken you as a friend for themselves 00:03:06.460 --> 00:03:10.460 You were theirs and they were your friends 00:03:10.460 --> 00:03:20.490 If we had not strengthened you, you would have been dependent on them for a little while 00:03:20.490 --> 00:03:24.219 And had We not established you, O Muhammad 00:03:24.219 --> 00:03:27.219 By keeping us safe from what He called you to do 00:03:27.219 --> 00:03:30.219 These polytheists are from temptation 00:03:30.219 --> 00:03:32.219 I was drawn to them 00:03:32.219 --> 00:03:35.219 And reassure yourself a little 00:03:35.219 --> 00:03:39.219 That is what he, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, was concerned with 00:03:39.219 --> 00:03:43.219 Than to do some of what they asked him to do 00:03:43.219 --> 00:03:49.090 We would have made you taste the weakness of life and the weakness of death 00:03:49.090 --> 00:03:57.090 Then you will not find a helper against us 00:03:57.090 --> 00:04:01.699 If you would rely on these polytheists, O Muhammad 00:04:01.699 --> 00:04:06.699 Then we would have made you taste twice the torment of life and twice the torment of death 00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:11.699 Then, O Muhammad, you will not find a helper to help you against us 00:04:11.699 --> 00:04:15.699 He will save you from the punishment you have suffered from us 00:04:15.699 --> 00:04:24.269 They almost provoke you from the land to expel you from it 00:04:24.269 --> 00:04:29.269 Then they will only disagree with you for a little while 00:04:29.269 --> 00:04:38.199 These people are about to hide you from the land in which you are, in order to expel you from it 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:46.199 And if they had expelled you from it, they would not have stayed in it except for a short time until I destroyed them with an urgent torment 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:53.899 The Sunnah of Our Messengers whom We have sent before you 00:04:53.899 --> 00:04:58.899 Our tongues do not find any conversion 00:04:59.899 --> 00:05:05.610 If they expel you, they will only remain in conflict with you for a little while 00:05:05.610 --> 00:05:12.610 We will certainly destroy them with the torment We have imposed on those whom We have sent before you from among Our messengers 00:05:12.610 --> 00:05:18.610 This is what we used to do to nations when they brought out their messengers from among them 00:05:18.610 --> 00:05:23.610 There is no change in our tongues from what happened 00:05:23.610 --> 00:05:37.220 Establish prayer from the setting of the sun until the dusk of the night and the recitation of the dawn. Indeed, the recitation of the dawn is witnessed 00:05:37.220 --> 00:05:43.860 Perform the prayer as the sun approaches the approach of night 00:05:43.860 --> 00:05:52.860 And perform what you recite in the Fajr prayer, for what you recite in the Fajr prayer from the Qur’an has been witnessed 00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:56.860 It is witnessed by the angels of the night and the angels of the day 00:05:56.860 --> 00:06:03.860 And the prayer that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, ordered to be performed at the setting of the sun 00:06:03.860 --> 00:06:05.860 Dhuhr and afternoon prayers 00:06:05.860 --> 00:06:10.860 The prayer that occurs at dusk is the Maghrib prayer 00:06:10.860 --> 00:06:28.329 And from the night, perform it as a voluntary prayer for you. Perhaps your Lord will raise you to a praiseworthy position 00:06:28.329 --> 00:06:37.329 And from the night, wake up after your sleep, O Muhammad, with the Qur’an, in order to renounce your duties that have been imposed on you 00:06:37.329 --> 00:06:41.329 Purely without your nation, which is the night prayer 00:06:41.329 --> 00:06:48.329 Perhaps your Lord will raise you on the Day of Resurrection to a place where you will stand praised and rejoice 00:06:48.329 --> 00:07:05.939 And say, “My Lord, let me enter an entrance of truthfulness and bring me out an exit of truthfulness and grant me authority from You as a helper.” 00:07:05.939 --> 00:07:15.350 And say, O Muhammad, O Lord, let me enter Medina with an entrance of truthfulness, and take me out of Mecca with an exit of truthfulness 00:07:15.350 --> 00:07:24.350 And grant me authority and support over the people of the town whose people expelled me and over all those who are similar to them 00:07:24.350 --> 00:07:30.350 If he is given that, he will undoubtedly be given a clear proof 00:07:30.350 --> 00:07:41.569 And say, “The truth has come and falsehood has vanished.” Indeed, falsehood has vanished 00:07:41.569 --> 00:07:51.079 And say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists, the truth has come, and it is everything in which God has satisfaction and obedience 00:07:51.079 --> 00:08:01.079 Falsehood is gone, which is everything that was without God’s satisfaction or obedience. Falsehood was gone 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:19.170 And We reveal from the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy for the believers, and it only increases loss to the wrongdoers 00:08:19.170 --> 00:08:27.810 And We reveal to you, O Muhammad, from the Qur’an what is a cure by which one can recover from ignorance and from misguidance 00:08:27.810 --> 00:08:37.809 And a mercy for the believers, so they permit what is lawful and prohibit what is unlawful, and thereby admits them to Paradise, and it is a mercy for them. 00:08:37.809 --> 00:08:43.809 This Qur’an only increases destruction to those who disbelieve in it 00:08:44.809 --> 00:08:59.450 And when We bestow blessings upon man, he turns away and distances himself, and when evil touches him, he becomes miserable 00:08:59.450 --> 00:09:08.309 And when We bestow blessings upon man, We save him from distress. He turns away from Our remembrance and turns away from Us 00:09:08.309 --> 00:09:14.309 If evil and distress touch him, he becomes despondent of relief and spirit 00:09:14.309 --> 00:09:25.559 Say, “Everyone works in his own way, for your Lord knows best who is most guided in the path.” 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:38.360 Say, O Muhammad, to the people: You all work on your own side and your way, for your Lord knows best who among you is more guided to the path to the truth than others. 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:53.769 And they ask you about the soul. Say, “The soul is from the command of my Lord, and you have not been given knowledge except a little.” 00:09:53.769 --> 00:10:00.769 And the disbelievers in God, among the People of the Book, ask you about the soul. Tell them 00:10:00.769 --> 00:10:05.769 The soul is a matter that only God knows, not you 00:10:05.769 --> 00:10:14.629 And you and all people have not been given knowledge except a little of much of what God knows 00:10:14.629 --> 00:10:30.179 If we wish, we can go with what we have revealed to you, and then you will not find a representative over us with it 00:10:30.179 --> 00:10:39.620 And if We wished, We could take away the knowledge We have given you, which We have revealed to you from this Qur’an, so do not know it 00:10:39.620 --> 00:10:47.620 Then you will not find for yourself, because of what we do to you, a guardian who will stand up for you and prevent us from doing that to you 00:10:47.620 --> 00:10:58.870 Except for the mercy of your Lord. Indeed, His grace upon you was great 00:10:58.870 --> 00:11:07.700 And if we wanted, we could go, O Muhammad, with what We revealed to you, but he does not want that 00:11:07.700 --> 00:11:14.700 A mercy from your Lord and a favor from Him upon you. Indeed, His favor upon you was great 00:11:14.700 --> 00:11:20.700 By selecting you for His message and sending down to you His Book 00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:47.659 Say: If mankind and jinn were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur’an, they would not produce the like of it, even if they supported one another. 00:11:47.659 --> 00:11:55.529 Say, O Muhammad, to those who told you: We bring the like of this Qur’an 00:11:55.529 --> 00:12:06.529 Because mankind and the jinn gathered together to produce something like it, they will never produce the like of it, even if they were each other’s help and support. 00:12:06.529 --> 00:12:24.299 We have presented to the people every example in this Qur’an, but most of the people refused except as ungrateful 00:12:24.299 --> 00:12:44.000 We have made clear to the people in this Qur’an every example as a proof of all of that against them and a reminder to them of the truth so that they may follow it, but most people refused except to deny the truth and deny God’s proofs and evidence. 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:53.700 And they said, “We will not believe in you until you gush forth for us from the earth a spring.” 00:12:55.250 --> 00:13:05.250 And the polytheists said, “We will not believe you until you burst for us from this land of ours that will supply us with water.” 00:13:05.250 --> 00:13:20.889 Or you will have a garden of palm trees and grapes, and rivers will burst forth through it 00:13:20.889 --> 00:13:29.500 Or you will have an orchard of palm trees and grapes, and rivers will burst forth through the palm trees and vineyards 00:13:31.070 --> 00:13:46.070 Or will the sky be covered with coverings as you have claimed upon us, or will God and the angels come before us? 00:13:47.070 --> 00:13:59.870 Or will the sky fall upon us definitely, or will it bring God, O Muhammad, and the angels as our witnesses? We will meet them face to face, and we will see them closely. 00:14:01.740 --> 00:14:27.740 Or you will have an ornate house, or you will be promoted to heaven, and we will not believe in your advancement until you send down to us a book that we can read. Say, Glory be to my Lord, were you anything but a human messenger? 00:14:27.740 --> 00:14:46.440 Or, O Muhammad, you will have a house of gold or you will ascend a stairway to heaven, and we will not believe you for the sake of your elevation to heaven until you send down to us a published book for us to read in which we are commanded to follow you and believe in you. 00:14:46.440 --> 00:15:12.440 Say, O Muhammad, to her are the polytheists, who distance themselves from God from what they describe him as. Am I only one of His servants? How can I do what you asked of me? Rather, I am a messenger conveying to you what I sent to you, and what you asked me to do is in the hands of God, no one else can do that. 00:15:17.269 --> 00:15:31.070 When guidance came to them, they said, “God has sent good tidings to a messenger.” 00:15:31.070 --> 00:15:46.779 And what prevented, O Muhammad, the polytheists of your people from believing in God when the clarification came to them from God with the truth of what you call upon them only their saying out of ignorance on their part, God has sent the glad tidings of a messenger. 00:16:01.779 --> 00:16:27.350 Say, O Muhammad, to these are those who refuse to believe in you. If, O people, there were angels on earth walking in tranquility, we would have sent down to them from heaven an angel and a messenger, because you see the angels as angels like them, and only a messenger from them is sent to humans. 00:16:33.179 --> 00:17:00.889 Say, O Muhammad, to those who say: God has sent the good tidings of a messenger. God is sufficient as a witness between me and you, for He is the best Sufficient and Judge. Indeed, God has experience with His servants and knowledge of their affairs and actions. 00:17:00.889 --> 00:17:09.890 He is aware of their planning and behavior as He wills, and He is the one who reconciles all of them with what was presented when they came to Him 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:43.880 And as hard as hell is their abode. Whenever it subsides, We increase them in the Fire 00:18:02.650 --> 00:18:26.650 If God wants to punish them and gather them in the position of the Resurrection after they have been dispersed in the graves on their faces blind, mute and deaf, and their destination is to Hell, whenever it softens and settles, We will increase the burning of these infidels by scorching fire upon them and burning within them. 00:18:28.539 --> 00:18:47.539 That is their recompense, because they disbelieved in Our signs and said, “When we were bones and rubble, shall we then be raised up as a new creation?” 00:18:49.410 --> 00:18:57.410 This is what We described from our actions on the Day of Resurrection to these polytheists, their reward for their disbelief in this world of Our signs 00:18:58.410 --> 00:19:10.410 And by their saying, “If we were commanded to believe in the promise, ‘If we were worn out bones and became dust, then will we be resurrected after that as a new creation.’” 00:19:13.490 --> 00:19:16.490 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
