00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,200
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,039
A summary from the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

3
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:12,740
Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari.

4
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:16,059
Surah Maryam.

5
00:00:18,179 --> 00:00:22,260
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

6
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:29,460
“And she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place.” (19:22)

7
00:00:29,859 --> 00:00:36,100
“And the pangs of childbirth drove her unto the trunk of the palm-tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died ere this and had become a thing of naught, forgotten!” (19:23)

8
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:44,659
“And the pangs of childbirth drove her unto the trunk of the palm-tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died ere this and had become a thing of naught, forgotten!” (19:23)

9
00:00:44,659 --> 00:00:49,740
"And I was a thing forgotten, consigned to oblivion."

10
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,399
She withdrew with the child she carried, who was 'Isa (Jesus).

11
00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:58,280
She moved away with him to a place far removed from the people.

12
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,640
The labor pains drove her to the trunk of a date palm.

13
00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:04,200
She said, while in the throes of childbirth,

14
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:06,359
out of shame before the people,

15
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,680
"Oh, would that I had died before this anguish I am in,

16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,879
and had been a thing forgotten and cast away."

17
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,719
So that you might be seen and forgotten.

18
00:01:17,109 --> 00:01:21,629
“Then (one) cried unto her from below her, saying: Grieve not! Thy Lord hath placed a rivulet beneath thee,” (19:24)

19
00:01:21,629 --> 00:01:25,430
“Then (one) cried unto her from below her, saying: Grieve not! Thy Lord hath placed a rivulet beneath thee,” (19:24)

20
00:01:25,909 --> 00:01:29,909
“And shake the trunk of the palm-tree toward thee, thou wilt cause ripe dates to fall upon thee.” (19:25)

21
00:01:29,909 --> 00:01:34,709
“And shake the trunk of the palm-tree toward thee, thou wilt cause ripe dates to fall upon thee.” (19:25)

22
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,640
Then the newborn called out to her from beneath her, and he was 'Isa,

23
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,200
"Do not grieve, O my mother."

24
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,319
“Then (one) cried unto her from below her, saying: Grieve not! Thy Lord hath placed a rivulet beneath thee,” (19:24)

25
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:47,319
Which is the small stream.

26
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,359
“And shake the trunk of the palm-tree toward thee, thou wilt cause ripe dates to fall upon thee.” (19:25)

27
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,159
"The date palm will drop upon you fresh, ripe dates."

28
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:59,909
“So eat and drink and be consoled. And if thou meetest any mortal, say: Lo! I have vowed a fast unto the Beneficent, and may not speak this day to any mortal.” (19:26)

29
00:02:00,549 --> 00:02:06,870
"So if you see any human being,"

30
00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:14,469
"say, 'Indeed, I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious.'"

31
00:02:14,469 --> 00:02:18,469
“So eat and drink and be consoled. And if thou meetest any mortal, say: Lo! I have vowed a fast unto the Beneficent, and may not speak this day to any mortal.” (19:26)

32
00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:23,159
"So eat of the dates that fall upon you,"

33
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:28,039
"and drink from the water of the stream that your Lord has placed beneath you."

34
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,599
"And be comforted and rejoice in your giving birth to me."

35
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:40,599
"And if you see any of the children of Adam who speaks to you or asks you about anything concerning your affair or the affair of your child,"

36
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:45,319
"then say, 'Indeed, I have obligated silence upon myself for the sake of Allah,'"

37
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,159
"'so I will not speak to any human being today.'"

38
00:02:50,740 --> 00:02:54,180
“Then she brought him to her own folk, carrying him. They said: O Mary! Thou hast come with an amazing thing.” (19:27)

39
00:02:54,740 --> 00:03:00,740
“Then she brought him to her own folk, carrying him. They said: O Mary! Thou hast come with an amazing thing.” (19:27)

40
00:03:02,569 --> 00:03:05,129
When 'Isa said that to his mother,

41
00:03:05,689 --> 00:03:09,129
her soul found peace and she submitted to the command of Allah.

42
00:03:09,770 --> 00:03:12,569
She carried him until she brought him to her people.

43
00:03:13,210 --> 00:03:16,169
When they saw Maryam and saw the child with her,

44
00:03:16,810 --> 00:03:17,770
they said to her,

45
00:03:18,409 --> 00:03:21,289
"O Maryam, you have indeed brought a strange thing,"

46
00:03:21,770 --> 00:03:24,009
"and have committed a grave matter."

47
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:37,639
"O sister of Harun (Aaron),"

48
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:40,520
attributing her to righteousness,

49
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,560
for she was attributed to a man of her people.

50
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,639
"Your father was not a man of evil who committed indecencies,"

51
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,360
"nor was your mother unchaste."

52
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,560
When her people said that to her,

53
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:09,080
she gestured to them toward 'Isa, that they should speak to him.

54
00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:11,240
Her people said to her,

55
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:14,280
"How can we speak to one who is in the cradle?"

56
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:21,079
“He spake: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He hath given me the Scripture and hath appointed me a Prophet,” (19:30)

57
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,639
"And He has made me a prophet."

58
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,920
"And He has made me blessed wherever I am."

59
00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:32,040
"And He has enjoined upon me prayer,"

60
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,800
"and enjoined upon me prayer and zakat,"

61
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,800
"as long as I live."

62
00:04:39,670 --> 00:04:42,550
'Isa said to them, speaking about his mother,

63
00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:44,709
"Indeed, I am a servant of Allah."

64
00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:47,910
And He decreed, on the day He decreed the affairs of His creation,

65
00:04:47,910 --> 00:04:49,589
that He would give me the Scripture,

66
00:04:50,069 --> 00:04:51,750
and make me a prophet,

67
00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:55,670
and make me a teacher of goodness wherever I may be.

68
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:58,550
And He decreed that He would enjoin upon me prayer,

69
00:04:58,949 --> 00:05:01,189
by maintaining its boundaries,

70
00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:04,550
and establishing it as He has obligated it upon me.

71
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:06,949
And He enjoined upon me the abandonment of sins,

72
00:05:06,949 --> 00:05:08,629
and the avoidance of disobedience,

73
00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:12,149
as long as I am alive and present in this world.

74
00:05:13,269 --> 00:05:16,230
"And [He has made me] dutiful to my mother."

75
00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:21,430
“And (hath made me) dutiful toward her who bore me, and hath not made me arrogant, unblest.” (19:32)

76
00:05:21,910 --> 00:05:25,189
"And peace be upon me the day I was born,"

77
00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:26,870
"and the day I die,"

78
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:29,509
"and the day I am raised alive."

79
00:05:30,939 --> 00:05:33,180
"And He has made me dutiful to my mother,"

80
00:05:33,740 --> 00:05:37,100
"and has not made me a wretched tyrant against Allah."

81
00:05:37,660 --> 00:05:40,139
Rather, He has humbled me to His obedience,

82
00:05:40,139 --> 00:05:42,060
and made me humble.

83
00:05:42,699 --> 00:05:47,579
And the security from Allah upon me from Shaytan and his soldiers on the day I was born,

84
00:05:48,060 --> 00:05:53,660
that they should reach me as they reach those born at the time of birth, by pricking them.

85
00:05:54,139 --> 00:05:56,620
And on the day I die, from the terror of the sight,

86
00:05:57,100 --> 00:05:59,819
and on the day I am raised alive on the Day of Resurrection,

87
00:06:00,220 --> 00:06:03,500
that the panic which befalls the people should befall me.

88
00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:07,959
That is 'Isa ibn Maryam,

89
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:12,600
the word of truth about which they dispute.

90
00:06:14,019 --> 00:06:16,420
This is he whose characteristics I have clarified for you,

91
00:06:16,740 --> 00:06:20,180
and whose story I have informed you of, regarding the affair of 'Isa ibn Maryam.

92
00:06:20,579 --> 00:06:21,699
The word of truth,

93
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:26,199
and the speech I have recited to you is the word of Allah and His report.

94
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,199
There is no report other than it in which delusion and doubt occur,

95
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:33,800
that which they dispute and differ over.

96
00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:41,430
“It befitteth not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should take unto Himself a son. Glory be to Him! When He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.” (19:35)

97
00:06:41,910 --> 00:06:43,430
Exalted is He.

98
00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:52,389
When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

99
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:57,319
Those who said that 'Isa is the son of Allah have lied,

100
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,399
and have fabricated a great falsehood against Him.

101
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,079
It is not befitting for Allah to take a son.

102
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:09,480
This is a declaration of Allah’s transcendence and an exoneration of Him from having what the disbelievers attributed to Him.

103
00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:11,959
Those who say, "Isa is the son of Allah."

104
00:07:12,899 --> 00:07:16,019
Allah merely initiated the creation of 'Isa from nothing,

105
00:07:16,579 --> 00:07:20,259
because that is how He originates and invents things.

106
00:07:20,819 --> 00:07:24,660
He only says, when He decrees the creation of a thing, "Be,"

107
00:07:25,139 --> 00:07:27,459
and it becomes existent and brought into being.

108
00:07:28,819 --> 00:07:34,100
"And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him."

109
00:07:34,579 --> 00:07:38,980
This is the straight path.

110
00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:44,629
And I and you, O people, are all servants of Allah.

111
00:07:45,189 --> 00:07:47,509
So worship Him alone, to the exclusion of others.

112
00:07:48,149 --> 00:07:52,069
This which I have enjoined upon you is the straight path,

113
00:07:52,629 --> 00:07:54,790
which whoever follows shall be saved.

114
00:07:56,180 --> 00:08:00,579
But the factions differed among themselves.

115
00:08:01,060 --> 00:08:07,860
So woe to those who disbelieve from the witnessing of a Great Day.

116
00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:11,899
The dissenters differed regarding 'Isa,

117
00:08:12,459 --> 00:08:16,139
and they became divided factions among his people.

118
00:08:16,779 --> 00:08:23,100
The valley of Hell, which is called "Woe," is for those who disbelieve in Allah on the Day of Resurrection.

119
00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:28,870
“See and hear them on the Day they come unto Us! yet the evil-doers are to-day in error manifest.” (19:38)

120
00:08:29,350 --> 00:08:36,149
“See and hear them on the Day they come unto Us! yet the evil-doers are to-day in error manifest.” (19:38)

121
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,399
If they were in the world blind to seeing the truth,

122
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,440
and deaf to hearing the verses of His Book,

123
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,159
how well they will hear on the day they come before their Lord in the Hereafter,

124
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:54,279
and how well they will see on that day, when seeing and hearing will not benefit them.

125
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,360
But the disbelievers are in a state of straying from the path of truth.

126
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:05,159
It is clear that it is a deviation from the path of guidance and righteousness for whoever contemplates and reflects upon it.

127
00:09:06,460 --> 00:09:12,220
“And warn them of the Day of anguish when the case hath been decided. Now they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not.” (19:39)

128
00:09:12,779 --> 00:09:19,659
“And warn them of the Day of anguish when the case hath been decided. Now they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not.” (19:39)

129
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,519
And warn, O Muhammad, these polytheists who associate partners with Allah,

130
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,159
of the day of their regret and remorse for what they neglected regarding the right of Allah.

131
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,960
And the dwellings of the people of faith in Allah were elevated from Paradise,

132
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,919
and they were entered into the dwellings of the people of faith in Allah from the Fire.

133
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,960
What a great regret and remorse it is!

134
00:09:42,730 --> 00:09:48,330
And these polytheists are in heedlessness of what Allah will do to them on the day they come to Him,

135
00:09:48,649 --> 00:09:51,929
and they do not believe in the Resurrection and the rising from the dead.

136
00:09:53,399 --> 00:10:01,000
“Lo! We, only We, inherit the earth and all who are thereon, and unto Us they are returned.” (19:40)

137
00:10:02,570 --> 00:10:09,129
Do not let the denial of these polytheists grieve you, O Muhammad, regarding the truth you have brought them.

138
00:10:09,860 --> 00:10:11,860
For to Us is their return,

139
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:17,379
and We are the Inheritor of the earth and whoever is upon it, through their passing away from it,

140
00:10:18,019 --> 00:10:20,980
and its remaining with no owner other than Us.

141
00:10:21,740 --> 00:10:25,580
Then upon Us is the recompense of every worker among them according to his deeds.

142
00:10:27,220 --> 00:10:30,659
“And make mention (O Muhammad) in the Scripture of Abraham. Lo! he was a saint, a prophet.” (19:41)

143
00:10:31,220 --> 00:10:37,059
Indeed, he was a man of truth, a prophet.

144
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,320
And mention, O Muhammad, in the Book of Allah, Ibrahim, the Khalil (Intimate Friend) of the Most Gracious.

145
00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:48,759
Indeed, he was among the people of truth in his speech, his reports, and his promises.

146
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:52,600
And Allah had made him a prophet and revealed to him.

147
00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:04,600
“When he said unto his father: O my father! Why worshippest thou that which heareth not nor seeth, nor can in aught avail thee?” (19:42)

148
00:11:06,169 --> 00:11:08,169
Mention him when he said to his father,

149
00:11:08,809 --> 00:11:18,169
"O my father, why do you worship an idol that neither hears a sound, nor sees anything, nor can avert any harm from you?"

150
00:11:19,899 --> 00:11:35,419
“O my father! Lo! there hath come unto me of knowledge that which came not unto thee. So follow me, and I will lead thee on a right path.” (19:43)

151
00:11:37,190 --> 00:11:39,190
Ibrahim said to his father,

152
00:11:39,669 --> 00:11:44,149
"O my father, indeed, there has come to me of knowledge that which has not come to you."

153
00:11:44,789 --> 00:11:49,429
"So accept my advice; I will guide you to the straight path,"

154
00:11:49,830 --> 00:11:52,789
"in which none strays except the one who is stubborn."

155
00:11:54,340 --> 00:12:05,690
“O my father! Serve not the devil. Lo! the devil is a rebel unto the Beneficent.” (19:44)

156
00:12:06,090 --> 00:12:25,769
“O my father! Lo! I fear lest a punishment from the Beneficent overtake thee so that thou become a comrade of the devil.” (19:45)

157
00:12:27,529 --> 00:12:33,529
"O my father, do not worship Shaytan; indeed, Shaytan has ever been disobedient to the Most Gracious."

158
00:12:34,309 --> 00:12:49,269
"O my father, I fear that if you die upon the worship of Shaytan, a punishment from the punishment of Allah will touch you, and you will become a companion to Shaytan instead of Allah, and Allah will disown you, and you will perish."

159
00:12:50,840 --> 00:13:05,799
He said, "Have you turned away from my gods, O Ibrahim? If you do not desist, I will surely stone you, so leave me for a long time."

160
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:28,679
The father of Ibrahim said to Ibrahim, "Are you turning away, O Ibrahim, from the worship of my gods? If you do not desist from mentioning them with evil, I will surely stone you with words, insults, and ugly speech; so leave me, and your honor will be safe from my punishment, and your body will be spared from my harm."

161
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:57,129
He said, "Peace be upon you. I will ask forgiveness for you from my Lord; indeed, He has ever been gracious to me. And I will withdraw from you and what you invoke other than Allah, and I will call upon my Lord; perhaps I will not be, in my invocation of my Lord, unhappy."

162
00:14:00,409 --> 00:14:30,330
"I have secured myself from you that I will return to you in what you dislike, but I will ask my Lord to cover your sins with His pardon; indeed, I have known my Lord to be kind to me, answering my supplication when I call upon Him. And I will avoid you and the worship of what you invoke other than Allah, the idols, and I will call upon my Lord with sincerity of worship to Him and singling Him out in Lordship; perhaps I will not be unhappy by the supplication of my Lord and His pardon."

163
00:14:30,409 --> 00:14:32,409
"And He will give me what I ask of Him."

164
00:14:33,909 --> 00:14:56,870
So when he withdrew from them and what they worshipped other than Allah, We gave him Ishaq (Isaac) and Ya'qub (Jacob), and each We made a prophet, and We gave them of Our mercy, and We granted them a high reputation of truth.

165
00:14:58,299 --> 00:15:26,779
When Ibrahim withdrew from his people and the worship of what they used to worship other than Allah, We comforted his loneliness from their separation and replaced them with those who were better than them; so We gave him his son Ishaq and his son's son Ya'qub, the son of Ishaq, and each We made a prophet, and We provided for them all from Our mercy, and that is what He expanded for them in the world of the vastness of His provision.

166
00:15:27,179 --> 00:15:31,980
And We provided them with good praise and a beautiful remembrance from the people.

167
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:44,789
“And make mention in the Scripture of Moses. Lo! he was chosen, and he was a messenger (of Allah), a prophet.” (19:51)

168
00:15:46,149 --> 00:15:51,590
And mention, O Muhammad, in Our Book which We have revealed to you, Musa (Moses) ibn 'Imran.

169
00:15:51,830 --> 00:15:59,590
And relate to your people that he was sincere, for Allah had purified him and chosen him for the Message and Prophethood.

170
00:16:00,230 --> 00:16:07,509
And he was a messenger of Allah to his people from the Children of Israel, and a prophet to whom He sent him.

171
00:16:08,809 --> 00:16:16,009
“We called him from the right slope of the Mount, and brought him nigh in communion.” (19:52)

172
00:16:16,649 --> 00:16:22,809
“And We bestowed upon him of Our mercy his brother Aaron, a prophet (likewise).” (19:53)

173
00:16:24,389 --> 00:16:30,549
And We called Musa from the side of the mountain to the right of Musa, and We brought him near, conversing.

174
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:36,860
And it is mentioned that Allah, whose glory is exalted, brought him near until he heard the scratching of the Pen.

175
00:16:36,860 --> 00:16:45,500
And We granted to Musa, out of Our mercy, his brother Harun, and We supported him with his prophethood and aided him with it.

176
00:17:08,619 --> 00:17:15,660
And it is mentioned that Isma'il (Ishmael) ibn Ibrahim would not break his promise to his Lord or His servants.

177
00:17:16,299 --> 00:17:20,700
And he used to enjoin upon his family the establishment of prayer and the giving of zakat.

178
00:17:21,180 --> 00:17:29,339
And he was, in the sight of his Lord, pleasing; his work was praiseworthy in what his Lord charged him with, not falling short in His obedience.

179
00:17:30,390 --> 00:17:45,369
And mention in the Book Idris; indeed, he was a man of truth, a prophet, and We raised him to a high station.

180
00:17:46,650 --> 00:17:53,930
And mention, O Muhammad, in this Book of Ours, Idris; indeed, he was a man of truth who would not speak a lie.

181
00:17:53,930 --> 00:18:05,450
A prophet to whom We reveal of Our command what We will, and We raised him to a place of highness and elevation, so he was raised to the fourth heaven.

182
00:18:25,269 --> 00:18:42,950
And of those whom We carried with Nuh (Noah), and of the descendants of Ibrahim and Isra'il (Jacob).

183
00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:46,869
And of those whom We guided and chose.

184
00:18:46,869 --> 00:18:55,990
“These are they unto whom Allah showed favour from among the prophets, of the seed of Adam and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Noah, and of the seed of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom We guided and chose. When the revelations of the Beneficent were recited unto them, they fell down, adoring and weeping.” (19:58)

185
00:19:17,940 --> 00:19:24,900
And of the descendants of Isra'il, and of those whom We guided to faith in Allah and the performance of His obedience.

186
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:29,380
And of those whom We chose and selected for Our Message and Our revelation.

187
00:19:29,380 --> 00:19:38,339
When the signs of Allah and His proofs, which He revealed to them in His Books, are recited to those whom Allah has blessed,

188
00:19:38,339 --> 00:19:42,180
they fall down in prostration to Allah, weeping.
