WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:05.129 --> 00:00:08.050 Summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari. 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:12.679 Abridged by Dr. Aqeel ibn Salim al-Shammari. 00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:16.280 Surah al-An'am. 00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:23.379 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:23.379 --> 00:00:29.940 “And with Him are the keys of the Invisible. None but He knoweth them. And He knoweth what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falleth but He knoweth it, not a grain amid the darkness of the earth, naught of wet or dry but (it is noted) in a clear record.” (6:59) 00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:33.340 “And with Him are the keys of the Invisible. None but He knoweth them. And He knoweth what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falleth but He knoweth it, not a grain amid the darkness of the earth, naught of wet or dry but (it is noted) in a clear record.” (6:59) 00:00:33.659 --> 00:00:39.979 “And with Him are the keys of the Invisible. None but He knoweth them. And He knoweth what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falleth but He knoweth it, not a grain amid the darkness of the earth, naught of wet or dry but (it is noted) in a clear record.” (6:59) 00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:49.659 “And with Him are the keys of the Invisible. None but He knoweth them. And He knoweth what is in the land and the sea.

Then He raiseth you again to life therein, that the term appointed (for you) may be accomplished. And afterward unto Him is your return. Then He will proclaim unto you what ye used to do.” (6:60) 00:01:57.650 --> 00:02:10.689 “He it is Who gathereth you at night and knoweth that which ye commit by day. Then He raiseth you again to life therein, that the term appointed (for you) may be accomplished. And afterward unto Him is your return. Then He will proclaim unto you what ye used to do.” (6:60) 00:02:11.289 --> 00:02:20.370 “He it is Who gathereth you at night and knoweth that which ye commit by day. Then He raiseth you again to life therein, that the term appointed (for you) may be accomplished. And afterward unto Him is your return. Then He will proclaim unto you what ye used to do.” (6:60) 00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:23.379 And say to them, O Muhammad: 00:02:23.979 --> 00:02:26.740 Allah takes your souls by night during sleep, 00:02:27.020 --> 00:02:29.060 Abstracting them from your bodies, 00:02:29.659 --> 00:02:32.740 And He knows what deeds you have earned by day. 00:02:33.379 --> 00:02:37.219 Then He resurrects you and awakens you from your sleep during the day, 00:02:37.819 --> 00:02:43.060 So that Allah may fulfill the appointed term decreed for your life—which is death— 00:02:43.699 --> 00:02:45.939 Reaching its full measure and ultimate end. 00:02:46.580 --> 00:02:49.379 Then unto Allah is your final return and destination, 00:02:50.020 --> 00:02:54.539 Whereupon He will inform you of all that you used to do during your worldly life, 00:02:55.099 --> 00:02:56.900 And then recompense you accordingly: 00:02:57.419 --> 00:03:00.699 If good, then good; and if evil, then evil. 00:03:22.949 --> 00:03:24.629 And Allah is the Vanquisher over His creation, 00:03:25.069 --> 00:03:27.069 Exalted above them in His omnipotence. 00:03:27.830 --> 00:03:33.150 He sends over you His angels, who succeed one another over you by night and by day, 00:03:33.669 --> 00:03:36.189 Guarding your deeds and recording them meticulously, 00:03:36.590 --> 00:03:38.310 Until death comes upon one of you, 00:03:38.750 --> 00:03:40.469 And the decree of Allah descends upon you. 00:03:41.259 --> 00:03:42.580 When that moment arrives, 00:03:43.099 --> 00:03:46.620 Our messenger angels, entrusted with taking souls, fully receive his soul, 00:03:46.979 --> 00:03:48.620 And they never neglect their duty. 00:03:55.819 --> 00:04:01.419 “Then are they restored unto Allah, their Lord, the Just. Surely His is the judgment. And He is the most swift of reckoners.” (6:62) 00:04:02.780 --> 00:04:08.379 Then the angels who took their souls return them unto Allah, their true Master. 00:04:09.099 --> 00:04:13.699 Unquestionably, His alone is the judgment and decree, to the exclusion of all His creation, 00:04:14.219 --> 00:04:17.500 And He is the swift in reckoning your number and your deeds, 00:04:17.660 --> 00:04:19.819 As well as all other matters pertaining to you; 00:04:20.300 --> 00:04:24.139 He has enumerated them, knowing their exact measures and totals. 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:32.000 “Say: Who delivereth you from the darkness of the land and the sea? Ye call upon Him humbly and in secret, (saying): If we are delivered from this (fear) we truly will be of the thankful.” (6:63) 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:37.879 You call upon Him in humble supplication and in secret, saying: 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:48.560 "If He delivers us from this, we shall surely be among the grateful." 00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:51.220 Say, O Muhammad: 00:04:51.860 --> 00:04:54.459 Who delivers you from the darknesses of the land, 00:04:54.779 --> 00:04:57.459 When you lose your way therein and become bewildered? 00:04:58.100 --> 00:04:59.660 And from the darknesses of the sea, 00:05:00.060 --> 00:05:03.540 When you navigate it and stray from the clear path, 00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:06.300 Such that the way becomes dark and obscure around you, 00:05:06.459 --> 00:05:07.980 And you cannot find guidance? 00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:15.019 None but Allah, whom you call upon in total humility, openly and secretly, pleading at times: 00:05:15.579 --> 00:05:16.500 You say: 00:05:16.980 --> 00:05:20.939 "If You deliver us from these darknesses in which we are trapped, 00:05:21.459 --> 00:05:25.860 We shall surely be among those who single You out in gratitude and devote our worship sincerely to You, 00:05:26.379 --> 00:05:29.980 Apart from those false deities we used to associate with You in our worship." 00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:41.379 “Say: Allah delivereth you from this and from all affliction. Yet ye attribute partners unto Him.” (6:64) 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:43.240 Say: 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:49.480 Allah alone is Able to deliver you from the great calamity that befalls you on land and sea— 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.319 From the distress of straying and the dread of perishing. 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.279 Yet after He removes the distress that befell you, 00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.759 You equate Him with your false gods and idols, 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.240 Associating them as partners in your worship of Him. 00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:12.180 “Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to bewilder you with dissension and make you taste the tyranny one of another. See how We display the revelations so that they may understand.” (6:65) 00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:18.620 “Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to bewilder you with dissension and make you taste the tyranny one of another. See how We display the revelations so that they may understand.” (6:65) 00:06:18.620 --> 00:06:21.139 "Or to confound you with sect divided against sect." 00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:28.420 “Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to bewilder you with dissension and make you taste the tyranny one of another. See how We display the revelations so that they may understand.” (6:65) 00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:35.899 “Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to bewilder you with dissension and make you taste the tyranny one of another. See how We display the revelations so that they may understand.” (6:65) 00:06:37.370 --> 00:06:38.370 O Muhammad, 00:06:39.050 --> 00:06:42.410 Indeed, the One who delivers you from the darknesses of the land and sea, 00:06:42.930 --> 00:06:45.209 Only for you to return to associating partners with Him, 00:06:45.769 --> 00:06:51.649 Is fully Able to unleash upon you a punishment from above you, by pelting stones or pouring down floods, 00:06:52.089 --> 00:06:56.569 Or whatever resembles that from what descends from above your heads, 00:06:57.209 --> 00:07:00.290 Or from beneath your feet, through swallowed earth and the like, 00:07:00.810 --> 00:07:05.209 Or to confuse you into conflicting desires and divided factions, 00:07:05.810 --> 00:07:07.930 “Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to bewilder you with dissension and make you taste the tyranny one of another. See how We display the revelations so that they may understand.” (6:65) 00:07:08.370 --> 00:07:10.410 Causing some of you to slay one another. 00:07:10.930 --> 00:07:13.170 Look, O Muhammad, with the eye of your heart, 00:07:13.689 --> 00:07:18.930 At how We diversify Our proofs to these deniers so that they may comprehend, 00:07:19.529 --> 00:07:24.610 And thereby refrain from what they persist in doing, which incurs the wrath of Allah. 00:07:25.819 --> 00:07:29.740 “Thy people (O Muhammad) have denied it, though it is the Truth. Say: I am not put in charge of you.” (6:66) 00:07:30.220 --> 00:07:34.540 “Thy people (O Muhammad) have denied it, though it is the Truth. Say: I am not put in charge of you.” (6:66) 00:07:35.019 --> 00:07:38.579 "For every news there is a fixed time." 00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:42.459 "And you will come to know." 00:07:43.779 --> 00:07:49.379 And your people, O Muhammad, have denied that which you say, convey, and warn them of regarding the impending punishment, 00:07:50.019 --> 00:07:53.420 Though it is the absolute truth, untainted by doubt, that will inevitably come to pass 00:07:53.779 --> 00:07:55.180 If they do not repent. 00:07:55.980 --> 00:07:57.379 Say to them, O Muhammad: 00:07:57.939 --> 00:08:00.740 "I am not a guardian or keeper over you; 00:08:01.339 --> 00:08:05.620 I am merely a Messenger conveying to you that with which I was sent." 00:08:06.259 --> 00:08:09.339 For every piece of news there is a appointed time in which it settles, 00:08:09.740 --> 00:08:11.779 And a final end to which it leads, 00:08:12.339 --> 00:08:16.259 Whereby its truth and veracity will be distinguished from its falsehood and vanity. 00:08:16.939 --> 00:08:22.699 And you shall come to know, O deniers, the truth of Allah's warning that I conveyed to you, 00:08:23.220 --> 00:08:25.459 When His punishment strikes you. 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:33.200 “And when thou seest those who meddle with Our revelations, withdraw from them until they meddle with another topic. And if the devil cause thee to forget, sit not, after the remembrance, with the congregation of wrong-doers.” (6:68) 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:38.799 “And when thou seest those who meddle with Our revelations, withdraw from them until they meddle with another topic. And if the devil cause thee to forget, sit not, after the remembrance, with the congregation of wrong-doers.” (6:68) 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:50.120 “And when thou seest those who meddle with Our revelations, withdraw from them until they meddle with another topic. And if the devil cause thee to forget, sit not, after the remembrance, with the congregation of wrong-doers.” (6:68) 00:08:51.409 --> 00:08:57.690 And when you, O Muhammad, see the polytheists engaging in mockery regarding the Revelation We revealed to you, 00:08:58.330 --> 00:08:59.850 Turn away from them, 00:09:00.490 --> 00:09:01.889 And do not sit with them, 00:09:02.409 --> 00:09:06.809 Until they engage in a discourse other than mocking the verses of Allah. 00:09:07.529 --> 00:09:11.210 And if Satan causes you to forget Our prohibition, and then you remember it, 00:09:11.730 --> 00:09:12.690 Rise and leave them, 00:09:13.169 --> 00:09:17.009 And do not sit, after remembering, with the wrongdoing people 00:09:17.490 --> 00:09:21.090 Who indulge in that which is unlawful for them to indulge in. 00:09:22.509 --> 00:09:31.470 “Those who ward off (evil) are not accountable for them in aught, but the Reminder (must be given them) that haply they (too) may ward off (evil).” (6:69) 00:09:31.950 --> 00:09:37.509 “Those who ward off (evil) are not accountable for them in aught, but the Reminder (must be given them) that haply they (too) may ward off (evil).” (6:69) 00:09:39.049 --> 00:09:40.970 And whoever fears Allah and remains conscious of Him, 00:09:41.529 --> 00:09:45.570 Obeying Him in what He has commanded and abstaining from what He has forbidden, 00:09:46.090 --> 00:09:53.210 Bears no sin for failing to turn away from those who indulge in mocking Allah's verses while they are actively mocking them. 00:09:53.850 --> 00:09:59.730 However, they must turn away from them as a reminder of Allah's command, so that they too may refrain from such mockings. 00:10:00.940 --> 00:10:09.419 “And forsake those who take their religion for a pastime and a jest, and whom the life of the world beguileth. Remind (mankind) hereby lest a soul be destroyed by what it earneth. It hath beside Allah no protecting ally nor intercessor, and though it offer every compensation it will not be accepted from it. Those are they who perish by their own deserts. For them is drink of boiling water and a painful doom, because they disbelieved.” (6:70) 00:10:09.980 --> 00:10:26.220 “And forsake those who take their religion for a pastime and a jest, and whom the life of the world beguileth. Remind (mankind) hereby lest a soul be destroyed by what it earneth. It hath beside Allah no protecting ally nor intercessor, and though it offer every compensation it will not be accepted from it.

Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah is Guidance, and we are ordered to surrender to the Lord of the Worlds,” (6:71) 00:11:47.379 --> 00:11:57.139 "And turn back on our heels after Allah has guided us, like one whom the devils have enticed?" 00:11:57.860 --> 00:12:02.259 “Say: Shall we cry, instead of unto Allah, unto that which neither profiteth us nor hurteth us, and shall we turn back after Allah hath guided us, like one bewildered whom the devils have infatuated in the earth, who hath companions who invite him to the guidance (saying): Come unto us?

Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah is Guidance, and we are ordered to surrender to the Lord of the Worlds,” (6:71) 00:12:10.820 --> 00:12:15.139 Say: "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the true guidance." 00:12:15.539 --> 00:12:20.500 “Say: Shall we cry, instead of unto Allah, unto that which neither profiteth us nor hurteth us, and shall we turn back after Allah hath guided us, like one bewildered whom the devils have infatuated in the earth, who hath companions who invite him to the guidance (saying): Come unto us? Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah is Guidance, and we are ordered to surrender to the Lord of the Worlds,” (6:71) 00:12:21.970 --> 00:12:26.129 Say, O Muhammad, to those who equate false idols with their Lord: 00:12:26.610 --> 00:12:32.690 "Shall we invoke, besides Allah, a stone or a piece of wood that has no power to benefit us or harm us, 00:12:33.169 --> 00:12:35.649 Devoting worship exclusively to it instead of Allah, 00:12:36.210 --> 00:12:39.730 And calling upon it instead of worshipping the One in whose Hand lies all harm and benefit? 00:12:40.289 --> 00:12:44.529 Shall we turn back on our heels, reverting backward into ruin, 00:12:44.850 --> 00:12:46.529 Failing to achieve our ultimate goal, 00:12:47.090 --> 00:12:50.049 After Allah has guided us and granted us success toward it? 00:12:50.610 --> 00:12:52.610 If we were to do so, our example 00:12:53.169 --> 00:12:56.769 Would be like that of a man travelling with a group along a clear path, 00:12:57.250 --> 00:13:00.529 Whom the devils enticed to follow them, so he followed them, 00:13:01.009 --> 00:13:02.850 Thinking he was upon something correct, 00:13:03.409 --> 00:13:06.850 Until morning came and the devils had thrown him into utter destruction— 00:13:07.330 --> 00:13:10.690 Where wild beasts might devour him, or he perishes of thirst. 00:13:11.330 --> 00:13:15.809 Yet this bewildered man has companions on the right path and upright road 00:13:16.370 --> 00:13:19.730 Who call him back to the clear track of guidance, 00:13:20.210 --> 00:13:23.009 Saying to him: 'Come to us and be with us!' 00:13:23.409 --> 00:13:24.929 But he stubbornly refuses." 00:13:25.570 --> 00:13:26.769 Say, O Muhammad: 00:13:27.330 --> 00:13:30.850 "Indeed, the path of Allah, which He has made clear and plain to us, 00:13:31.250 --> 00:13:34.769 Is the true guidance and upright path about which there is no doubt. 00:13:35.250 --> 00:13:37.649 And our Lord has commanded us to submit to Him, 00:13:37.649 --> 00:13:40.769 Surrendering to Him in humility and servitude, 00:13:51.570 --> 00:13:54.049 And to establish prayer according to its proper limits, 00:13:54.370 --> 00:13:56.289 And to fear the Lord of all the worlds— 00:13:56.529 --> 00:13:58.610 So fear Him and beware of His wrath, 00:13:59.009 --> 00:14:01.090 By yielding to Him in obedience. 00:14:01.649 --> 00:14:05.970 And He it is to whom you will be gathered and assembled on the Day of Resurrection, 00:14:06.450 --> 00:14:09.649 Whereupon He will recompense every worker according to his deeds." 00:14:11.230 --> 00:14:16.350 “He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in truth. In the day when He saith: Be! it is. His Word is the Truth, and His will be the Sovereignty on the day when the trumpet is blown. Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, He is the Wise, the Aware.” (6:73) 00:14:16.830 --> 00:14:21.389 “He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in truth.

Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, He is the Wise, the Aware.” (6:73) 00:14:21.870 --> 00:14:23.470 His word is the truth. 00:14:24.029 --> 00:14:29.549 “He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in truth. In the day when He saith: Be! it is. His Word is the Truth, and His will be the Sovereignty on the day when the trumpet is blown. Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, He is the Wise, the Aware.” (6:73) 00:14:29.870 --> 00:14:33.009 Knower of the unseen and the witnessed. 00:14:33.490 --> 00:14:37.970 And He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware. 00:14:39.409 --> 00:14:44.049 Allah alone created the heavens and the earth in ultimate truth and wisdom, 00:14:44.610 --> 00:14:48.129 As an absolute proof over His creation, so that worship may be sincerely devoted to Him alone. 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.399 And on the Day He says—when the earth and heavens are transformed— 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:57.679 "Be!" and it is, just as Allah will recreate it in the Hereafter. 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:00.240 This promise of His which He pledged 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:02.720 Is the absolute truth, untainted by doubt. 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.519 And to Allah belongs all sovereignty on that Day. 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.759 He is the Knower of that which you witness, O people, and see with your eyes, 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:14.639 As well as that which is hidden from your senses and vision, beyond your perception. 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:17.279 And He is the All-Wise in His governance, 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:22.960 The All-Aware of everything they do and earn, whether good or evil.
