Say: Deem not your Surrender a favour unto me; but Allah doth confer a favour on you, inasmuch as He hath led you to the Faith, if ye are earnest.” (49:17) 00:03:09.250 --> 00:03:14.449 “They make it a favour unto thee (Muhammad) that they have surrendered (unto Him). Say: Deem not your Surrender a favour unto me; but Allah doth confer a favour on you, inasmuch as He hath led you to the Faith, if ye are earnest.” (49:17) 00:03:14.449 --> 00:03:19.969 “They make it a favour unto thee (Muhammad) that they have surrendered (unto Him).

Say: Deem not your Surrender a favour unto me; but Allah doth confer a favour on you, inasmuch as He hath led you to the Faith, if ye are earnest.” (49:17) 00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:39.500 Rather, it is Allah who has conferred favor upon you, O people, by guiding you to faith in Him and His Messenger, 00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:44.530 if you are truthful in your claim that you have believed. 00:03:44.530 --> 00:03:50.849 “Lo! Allah knoweth the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is Seer of what ye do.” (49:18) 00:03:50.849 --> 00:03:59.069 “Lo! Allah knoweth the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is Seer of what ye do.” (49:18) 00:03:59.069 --> 00:04:01.310 Indeed, Allah, O Bedouins, 00:04:01.310 --> 00:04:04.669 knows what is concealed within your hearts, 00:04:04.669 --> 00:04:07.389 and what you whisper to yourselves. 00:04:07.389 --> 00:04:09.389 He knows what is hidden from you, 00:04:09.389 --> 00:04:12.830 and what is tucked away in the depths of the heavens and the earth. 00:04:12.830 --> 00:04:16.029 Nothing of that is hidden from Him. 00:04:16.029 --> 00:04:20.269 And Allah is All-Seeing of the deeds you perform. 00:04:20.430 --> 00:04:23.470 He will recompense you for all of them: 00:04:23.470 --> 00:04:25.470 if it is good, then with good, 00:04:25.470 --> 00:04:29.550 and if it is evil, then with evil.
