WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.039 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:12.740 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 00:00:14.220 --> 00:00:16.500 Surat Al-Mu'minun 00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:22.059 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:22.579 --> 00:00:32.259 If We had mercy on them and removed their harm, they would fly away blind 00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.719 If only we had mercy on those who do not believe in the afterlife 00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:42.600 And We removed from them their suffering of drought, barrenness, and the affliction of hunger 00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:47.719 In their arrogance and audacity, they hesitate before their Lord 00:00:48.700 --> 00:00:57.299 And We seized them with torment, but they did not submit to their Lord, nor did they supplicate 00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:02.100 We have punished these polytheists 00:01:02.420 --> 00:01:09.420 We made their livelihood difficult, made their country barren, and killed their families with the sword 00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:16.099 They did not submit to their Lord and submit to His commands and prohibitions, and they did not submit to Him 00:01:17.219 --> 00:01:32.219 Until, when We open upon them a door of severe torment, they will be lost in it 00:01:33.790 --> 00:01:37.590 Even if we open the door to famine and harm to them 00:01:38.109 --> 00:01:45.189 These polytheists became sad and regretted what had happened before them in denying the verses of God 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:55.799 It is He who created for you hearing, sight, and hearts. You rarely doubt 00:01:57.219 --> 00:02:03.859 It is God who gave you the hearing with which you hear and the vision with which you see 00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:06.819 And the benefits that you understand 00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:11.819 How can it be impossible for whoever created it to begin with to bring it back? 00:02:12.539 --> 00:02:19.780 You are thankful, you liars, for God’s news of His giving you hearing, sight, and hearts a little 00:02:21.110 --> 00:02:26.509 It is He who produced you on earth, and to Him you will be gathered 00:02:28.150 --> 00:02:33.789 It is God who created you on earth, and to Him you will be gathered after your death 00:02:34.469 --> 00:02:38.349 Then you will be raised from your graves to a position of reckoning 00:02:39.659 --> 00:02:48.939 It is He who gives life and causes death, and to Him belongs the alternation of night and day. Do you not understand? 00:02:50.150 --> 00:02:54.870 It is God who gives life to His creation after they were dead sperm 00:02:55.430 --> 00:02:57.830 He will kill them after bringing them back to life 00:02:58.699 --> 00:03:02.060 He is the one who made night and day different 00:03:02.740 --> 00:03:04.900 Do you not understand, O people? 00:03:05.419 --> 00:03:09.300 The one who did these actions started without a foundation 00:03:09.860 --> 00:03:13.900 It is not impossible for him to revive the dead after they have perished 00:03:15.349 --> 00:03:19.389 Rather, they said the same as what the ancients said 00:03:19.909 --> 00:03:28.430 They said, "When we die and become dust and bones, will we be resurrected?" 00:03:29.849 --> 00:03:33.169 What do these polytheists think of God’s signs? 00:03:33.810 --> 00:03:37.009 But they said what their ancestors said 00:03:37.689 --> 00:03:40.729 They said: When we die, we will return to dust 00:03:41.210 --> 00:03:46.610 We will be resurrected from our graves, alive as we were before death 00:03:47.210 --> 00:03:50.009 This is something that does not exist 00:03:51.909 --> 00:03:57.789 We and our parents promised this before 00:03:57.789 --> 00:04:02.349 These are nothing but legends of the ancients 00:04:03.750 --> 00:04:08.110 They said: We were promised this promise that you promised us, O Muhammad 00:04:08.629 --> 00:04:14.629 Our fathers before us promised a people who mentioned that they were God’s messengers before you 00:04:15.189 --> 00:04:16.829 We didn't see it for real 00:04:17.550 --> 00:04:20.870 What is this that prepares us for resurrection after death? 00:04:21.350 --> 00:04:26.149 Except for what the ancients wrote in their books of hadiths and reports 00:04:26.589 --> 00:04:29.389 Which has no validity or truth 00:04:30.990 --> 00:04:37.870 Say, “Whose earth is it and who is on it, if you know?” 00:04:38.310 --> 00:04:44.670 They will say to God: Say, will you not remember? 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.600 Say, O Muhammad, to her are those who deny the Hereafter 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.279 Who owns the earth and all of its creation? 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.319 If you know who owns it 00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:01.279 Then inform him that they will acknowledge that she is God’s queen 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.839 So tell them, “Don’t you remember?” 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:09.240 So you know that whoever was able to create that in the first place 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:13.000 He is able to revive them after they die 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:20.720 Say, “Who is the Lord of the Seven Heavens and the Lord of the Great Throne?” 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:26.639 They will say to God: “Say, will you not fear God?” 00:05:28.019 --> 00:05:34.699 Tell them, O Muhammad, who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the Throne surrounding that 00:05:35.420 --> 00:05:39.779 They will say all of that to God, so tell them 00:05:40.459 --> 00:05:46.740 Do you not fear His punishment for your disbelief in Him and your denial of His news and the news of His Messenger? 00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:52.339 Say, “Who holds the kingdom of everything?” 00:05:52.579 --> 00:05:56.060 He is generous and he is not respected 00:05:56.459 --> 00:06:03.060 He is generous and He is not benevolent, if you only knew 00:06:03.459 --> 00:06:10.300 They will say to God, “Say, I will bewitch you.” 00:06:12.129 --> 00:06:16.329 Say, O Muhammad, who holds the treasures of everything? 00:06:16.850 --> 00:06:20.329 He protects whomever he wants from those who mean evil to him 00:06:20.970 --> 00:06:24.490 No one abstains from someone who wants him badly 00:06:25.009 --> 00:06:27.529 So his torment and punishment will be warded off from him 00:06:28.050 --> 00:06:31.009 If you know his character from that 00:06:31.769 --> 00:06:34.490 They will say that the kingdom of everything 00:06:35.009 --> 00:06:38.009 The power over all things belongs to God 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:40.319 So tell them, O Muhammad 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.959 In what way does the lie really come to you? 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.000 And the corrupt is true 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:54.839 So you turn away from acknowledging the truth to which our Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, calls you 00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:02.959 Rather, We gave them the truth, and they are liars 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:09.920 God did not have a son, nor was there any god with Him 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:17.560 Then every god would destroy what he created, and some of them would be superior to others 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.160 Glory be to God for what they describe 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:30.160 He knows the unseen and the witnessed, so He is exalted above what they associate with Him 00:07:31.990 --> 00:07:35.389 What is the matter as these polytheists claim? 00:07:35.990 --> 00:07:38.350 That angels are daughters of God 00:07:38.910 --> 00:07:42.269 And that gods and idols are gods other than God 00:07:43.029 --> 00:07:46.149 Rather, We gave them certainty, which is Islam 00:07:46.870 --> 00:07:50.829 Indeed, the polytheists are liars in what they attribute to God 00:07:51.189 --> 00:07:53.670 They remove it from the child and the partner 00:07:54.389 --> 00:07:55.870 God has no son 00:07:56.389 --> 00:08:00.029 There was no one with him in the past who was worthy of worship 00:08:00.750 --> 00:08:05.949 Even if things were with him in the past or at the time of his creation, it would be appropriate to worship him 00:08:06.470 --> 00:08:10.829 Therefore, each of them is not isolated from what He created and is alone with it 00:08:11.350 --> 00:08:15.029 And you will prevail, one against the other 00:08:15.670 --> 00:08:18.029 The strong among them defeated the weak 00:08:18.910 --> 00:08:24.430 Glory be to God and may He be above what these polytheists describe Him as 00:08:25.189 --> 00:08:28.269 He knows the things that are hidden from His creation 00:08:28.949 --> 00:08:32.870 So God exalted and exalted the polytheism of these polytheists 00:08:33.509 --> 00:08:36.070 He described them as they described him 00:08:46.419 --> 00:08:53.379 Say, O Muhammad, my Lord, if you show me in these polytheists what you promise them of your punishment 00:08:53.860 --> 00:08:57.340 Do not destroy me with what you destroy them with 00:08:57.899 --> 00:09:00.220 Save me from your torment and wrath 00:09:00.700 --> 00:09:03.340 Do not place me among the polytheist people 00:09:03.899 --> 00:09:07.820 But make me among the saints you are pleased with 00:09:08.539 --> 00:09:11.340 Do not place me among the unjust people 00:09:11.820 --> 00:09:16.299 And We are capable of showing you what We promise them 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:25.799 O Muhammad, we are determined to show you regarding these polytheists what we promise them of hastening the torment for them. We are capable of it 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.440 So do not be saddened by their denial of what we promised them 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:34.840 But we postpone that until the deadline for the Book reaches 00:09:36.139 --> 00:09:43.980 Repel with what is better than evil. We know best what they describe 00:09:45.299 --> 00:09:48.659 Pay, O Muhammad, with the trait that is better 00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:52.820 That is turning a blind eye and pardoning the ignorant polytheists 00:09:53.299 --> 00:09:55.059 And be patient with their harm 00:09:55.620 --> 00:09:59.460 This was his command to him before his command to fight them 00:10:00.019 --> 00:10:03.379 And He cursed us with evil deeds, as the polytheists harmed Him 00:10:04.100 --> 00:10:06.659 We know best what they describe God with 00:10:07.059 --> 00:10:10.419 They free him from the lies and slander against him 00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:13.379 And what they say about you is bad 00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:16.899 We reward them for all of that 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:24.679 And say, “My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the instigations of the devils.” 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:30.759 I seek refuge in You, Lord, lest they attend 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:38.840 And say, O Muhammad, my Lord, I seek refuge in You from the suffocation and whisperings of the devils 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.639 And say, “I seek refuge in You, Lord, lest they be present in my affairs.” 00:10:45.210 --> 00:10:52.409 Even when death comes to one of them, he says, “Lord, bring me back.” 00:10:52.889 --> 00:10:57.289 Perhaps I may do good with what I have left behind 00:10:57.850 --> 00:11:04.250 No, it is a word he said 00:11:04.730 --> 00:11:11.860 And behind them is an isthmus until the Day they are resurrected 00:11:13.340 --> 00:11:17.179 Even if death comes to one of these polytheists 00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:19.980 He said he regretted what he had missed 00:11:20.539 --> 00:11:24.059 Lord, bring me back to this world and bring me back to it 00:11:24.620 --> 00:11:28.700 So that I can do good with what I left off work before today 00:11:29.019 --> 00:11:31.179 I lost it and was alone in it 00:11:31.899 --> 00:11:35.179 No, it is not what he said 00:11:35.820 --> 00:11:39.500 This word is his saying, “O Lord, bring me back.” 00:11:39.980 --> 00:11:43.100 The word of this polytheist is the one who said it 00:11:43.659 --> 00:11:47.980 There is a barrier in front of them, preventing them from returning 00:11:48.299 --> 00:11:51.019 Until the day they are resurrected from their graves 00:11:52.309 --> 00:11:58.389 If the trumpet is blown, there will be no lineage between them on that day 00:11:58.789 --> 00:12:06.629 There will be no lineage between them on that day, and they will not ask questions 00:12:08.019 --> 00:12:09.700 If he blows the pictures 00:12:10.100 --> 00:12:14.580 So everyone in the heavens and everyone on earth was shocked, except those whom God willed 00:12:15.059 --> 00:12:18.899 There will be no lineage between them on that day through which they can communicate 00:12:19.220 --> 00:12:20.899 And they don't wonder 00:12:21.299 --> 00:12:26.100 They do not visit each other and ask about their conditions and lineages 00:12:27.509 --> 00:12:34.789 Those whose scales are heavy are the ones who are successful 00:12:35.269 --> 00:12:49.590 And whoever's scales are light, those are the ones who lost their souls in hell to abide forever 00:12:50.149 --> 00:12:55.830 Their faces will be engulfed in fire, and they will burn in it 00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:03.799 Whoever's good deeds are heavy, those are the ones who will live forever in the gardens of bliss 00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:12.039 And if the scales of his good deeds are light, then those who deceived themselves will receive their blessings from God’s mercy 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:18.679 They will abide in the fire of Hell forever. Their faces will be engulfed by the flame of fire, which will burn them 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:25.639 There they are with their lips pulled away from their teeth due to the fire burning their faces 00:13:35.110 --> 00:13:54.309 It will be said to them: Were the verses of the Qur’an not recited to you in this world and you used to deny them? 00:13:55.159 --> 00:14:02.519 They say, “Our Lord, we have overcome what preceded us in Your foreknowledge and wrote down for us in the Mother of the Book.” 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.720 We were a people who had strayed from the path of guidance and the goal of truth 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:15.960 Our Lord, take us out of it, and if we return, we will be wrongdoers 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.440 He said: Be humble about it and do not speak 00:14:21.929 --> 00:14:29.289 Our Lord, take us out of the Fire. If we return to the deeds that You hate from us, then we are wrongdoers 00:14:30.090 --> 00:14:35.450 The Lord said in response to them, “Sit in the fire and do not speak.” 00:14:37.190 --> 00:14:55.669 Indeed, there was a group of My servants saying, “Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy on us, and You are the Best of the Merciful.” 00:14:55.669 --> 00:15:09.350 So you took them as a mockery until I made you forget My remembrance, and you were laughing at them 00:15:11.179 --> 00:15:18.379 God Almighty says that there was a group of My servants who were people of faith in God 00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:26.059 They say in this world, “Our Lord, we believe in you and your messengers, so forgive us and have mercy on us.” 00:15:26.620 --> 00:15:31.580 You are better than those who have mercy on the people of calamity, so do not torture us with your torment 00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:37.580 So you have taken the people who believe in me in this world as a mockery and a toy for you to mock 00:15:38.139 --> 00:15:46.539 Your mockery of them continued until you made me forget to mention it and distracted you from it, and you were laughing at them 00:15:48.179 --> 00:15:57.460 I have rewarded them today for their patience. Indeed, they are the victors 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:06.279 Indeed, O polytheists of God, I reward those whom you took in this world as a mockery of the people of faith 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:10.840 Because they were patient with what they used to face when you made fun of them 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:16.840 They are the winners today of eternal bliss and lasting dignity 00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:22.500 He said: How many years did you stay on earth? 00:16:23.059 --> 00:16:31.620 They said, “We stayed for a day or part of a day, so ask the two numbers.” 00:16:32.179 --> 00:16:40.740 He said, “You only stayed for a short time, if only you had known.” 00:16:42.539 --> 00:16:48.009 He said to these wretches, how many years have you been in this world? 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:53.639 They replied, “We stayed there for a day or part of a day.” 00:16:54.279 --> 00:17:02.200 So ask the numerals who count the number of months and years, because we do not know, we have forgotten that 00:17:03.029 --> 00:17:08.309 God said to them, “You did not stay on earth except for a short time.” 00:17:08.789 --> 00:17:12.630 If you only knew how much you would have stayed there 00:17:13.980 --> 00:17:22.779 Did you think that We created you in vain and that you would not be returned to Us? 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:29.799 Did you think, O wretched ones, that We created you only as a game and in vain? 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:34.279 And you will not be returned to your Lord after your death 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:38.039 Then you will be rewarded for what you used to do in this world 00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:42.519 So exalted is God, the True King 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:47.480 As these polytheists describe him, that he has a partner 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:53.910 There is no deity to whom one should worship except Allah, Lord of the Noble Throne 00:17:54.549 --> 00:18:00.869 Whoever calls upon another god with God has no proof for it 00:18:01.349 --> 00:18:05.059 His account is deep 00:18:05.940 --> 00:18:11.779 Whoever calls upon another god with God has no proof for it 00:18:11.779 --> 00:18:20.019 His reckoning is with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed 00:18:21.579 --> 00:18:27.180 And whoever supplicates with the deity for whom worship is not appropriate, except for another deity 00:18:27.819 --> 00:18:32.299 There is no evidence for what he says or does regarding that, nor is it clear 00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:36.140 The account of his bad deeds is with his Lord 00:18:36.700 --> 00:18:39.740 He will pay his reward if it is brought against him 00:18:40.380 --> 00:18:43.660 People who disbelieve in God will not succeed with Him 00:18:44.140 --> 00:18:47.579 They do not realize immortality and survival in bliss 00:18:59.049 --> 00:19:04.250 And say, O Muhammad, my Lord, cover my sins by pardoning them 00:19:04.809 --> 00:19:06.970 And have mercy on me by accepting your repentance 00:19:07.529 --> 00:19:11.930 And say, O Lord, you are better than having mercy on a sinner 00:19:12.490 --> 00:19:15.289 He accepted his repentance and did not punish her
