In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammar
Surat Ghafir
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
O people of Mali, I invite you to salvation
And you invite me to Hell
You invite me to disbelieve in God
And I associate with it what I have no knowledge of
I invite you to the Mighty, the Forgiving
God Almighty says mention him
Informing about what this believer said to his people from the infidels
Why do I invite you to escape from God’s punishment?
And you call me to the work of the people of Hell
You invite me to disbelieve in God
And associate idols with God in His worship
I do not know that it is appropriate for me to worship her
Because God did not humiliate me in this matter with any information or reason
I invite you to worship the Almighty in taking revenge on those who disbelieved in him
The Forgiver of those who repent to Him after disobeying Him
No offense to what you are calling me to do
He has no invitation
He has no calling in this world or the afterlife
And that we return to God
And the extravagant are the inmates of Hell
Indeed, what you are calling me to is an idol
He has no supplication in this world or in the afterlife
Our return and turning after we die is to God
And the polytheists of God transgress His limits
They are the companions of hellfire when we return to God
You will remember what I tell you, and I will entrust my matter to God
God sees the servants
You will remember, O people, if you witness God's punishment
The truth is what I'm telling you
I surrender my affairs to God
God knows the affairs of His servants
The obedient ones and the disobedient ones
May God protect him from the evils of what they plotted
A terrible torment befell Pharaoh's family
A fire to which they are exposed morning and evening
And on the day the Hour comes, Pharaoh’s family will be admitted to the severest torment
So God defended this believer
He hated the punishment and calamity that Pharaoh used to inflict on those who disagreed with him
So he saved himself from it
A terrible torment befell Pharaoh's followers and those who obeyed him
They are exposed to the Fire when they perished and God drowned them
Their souls were placed in the hollows of black birds
It is exposed to fire twice every day
Morning and evening
Until the Hour comes
And on the day the Hour comes, it will be said to the family of Pharaoh
Enter, O people of Pharaoh, the most severe torment
And when they argue in the fire, the weak will say
Then the weak say to those who were arrogant: We were your followers, so are you?
Are you protected from our share of the Fire?
As they quarreled in the fire
The weak among them say to their leaders
We were yours in this world as a consequence of your disbelief in God
Are you spared from us today a portion of the Fire?
So ease it for us
We were hasty in loving you in this world
Those who were arrogant said, “Indeed, we are all in it. Indeed, God has judged between His servants.”
Those who were arrogant said of the leaders who were followed
We, O people, and you, are all in this fire forever
There is no salvation for us from it
God has judged between His servants by determining His judgement
So the people of Paradise will reside in Paradise
And the people of Hell are Hell
And those in Hell said to the keepers of Hell, “I pray to your Lord to make light of it for us.”
He will relieve us of one day of torment
The people of Hell said of its treasury and strength
I pray to your Lord to ease for us the amount of one day of the world from the torment we are in
They said, “Did not your messengers bring you clear proofs?”
They said yes
They said, “Then pray.”
The supplication of the unbelievers is nothing but misguidance
The treasury of hell said to them
Did not your messengers come to you in this world with clear proofs?
They said, “Yes, our messengers have brought that to us.”
The safe told them
So pray to your Lord
The one whom the messengers came to you with an invitation to believe in
And they called
Their supplication is nothing but misguidance
Because it is a supplication that does not benefit them
Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe in the life of this world
In the life of this world and on the Day when witnesses will stand
A day when their excuses will not benefit the wrongdoers
And for them is the curse, and for them is bad blood
Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe in the life of this world
Either by us giving them victory over those whom we lied to
Or by taking our revenge on those who treated us harshly and harshly
And on the Day when witnesses will arise from the angels, the prophets and the believers
The nations who deny their messengers bear witness that the messengers have conveyed the messages of their Lord
That is a day when the people of polytheism will not benefit from their apology
Because they do not apologize if they apologize except falsely
This is because God has provided for them in this world
And for the oppressors there is a curse, which is distance from God’s mercy
And for them is the evil of what is in the afterlife
It is a painful torment
So ask forgiveness for your sin and praise your Lord
And glorify the praise of your Lord in the evening and early hours
So be patient, O Muhammad, for the command of your Lord
And carry out the message I sent you with
And be certain of the promise of God that He promised you
Ask Him to forgive your sins and pardon you for them
Express your gratitude to your Lord in the evening
This is from noon until night
And early
This is from the rise of the second dawn until sunrise
Those who dispute the verses of God without the authority given to them
In their chests there is nothing but arrogance that they cannot fully comprehend
So seek refuge in God, for He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing
Those who dispute with you, O Muhammad, regarding the verses you gave them without any justification
There is nothing in their hearts except arrogance because of which they are too arrogant to follow you
They are envious of the bounty that God has given you
What they envy you for is something that they neither realize nor attain
Because that is the grace of God, which He gives to whomever He wishes
So seek refuge in Allah, O Muhammad, from the evil of these people
God is the Hearer of what those who argue about God’s verses say
He sees what their limbs do
The creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of people
But most people don't know
To create the heavens and the earth, if He willed them, without anything
O people, you are greater than the creation of people
But most people do not know that creating all of this is easy for God
And the blind and the seeing are not equal, and those who believe and do righteous deeds
Little do you remember
The blind man who sees nothing is not equal
He is like an unbeliever who does not contemplate God’s arguments with his eyes
And the one who sees with his eyes
This is an example of a believer who sees with his own eyes the arguments of God
He thinks about it and learns
Nor are believers equal in God and His Messenger
Nor does he touch him while he is a disbeliever in his Lord
You people rarely remember God's arguments, so you consider and learn from them
The Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it, but most people do not believe
The hour in which God revives the dead is for reward and punishment
O people, there is no doubt about her coming
And you will be resurrected after your death
But most of the Quraish do not believe in its coming
And your Lord said, “Let me respond to you.”
Those who disdain My worship will enter Hell disgraced
And your Lord says
O people, leave me alone and worship me sincerely
I answer your prayers, so I pardon you and have mercy on you
Those who are too proud to worship Me alone will enter Hell in humiliation
It is God who made for you the night to rest therein and the day to be a sight
God is gracious to people
But most people are not thankful
God, for whom divinity is only suitable
What I described is that He made the night a resting place for you, people, so that you may rest in it
So they calmed down in their behavior
And he made the day bright with joy in it for his sustenance
God has not favored you, people
But most of them do not thank Him by obeying Him
And devotion to divinity and worship of Him
That is God, your Lord, the Creator of all things
There is no god but Him
I am making you laugh
Thus will those who denied the verses of God be damned
Who did these actions?
And I bestow this blessing on you, people
God is your owner and the fixer of your affairs
He is your Creator and the Creator of all things
There is no deity worthy of worship other than Him
Which direction will you take?
And where do you go?
He was your diverter from truth to falsehood
The nations before you left him
They lie with God's arguments and evidence
So you people of Quraysh followed their path
It is God who made the earth a resting place for you
He built the sky
And the heavens built and formed you
May He improve your image and provide for you
And He provided you with good things
That is God, your Lord
Blessed be God, Lord of the worlds
God is the one who made for you the land on which you live
A decision you settle on
He built the sky and raised it above you
He created you and created you best
And He provided you with lawful sustenance
It has the same restaurants and bars
The one who did these actions is God
The One Who does not deserve divinity except Him
And your Lord is the one for whom lordship is not appropriate
Blessed be God, Owner of all creation
He is the living, there is no god but Him, so call upon Him, sincere in religion
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
He is the living that never dies
Everlasting life
There is no true deity whom it is permissible to worship except Him
So, O people, call upon Him with sincere obedience to Him
Singling out his divinity
Thanks be to God, who is the owner of all creation
