WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:05.169 --> 00:00:08.169 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari. 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:12.759 Abridged by Dr. Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari. 00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.050 Surah al-Fath. 00:00:16.250 --> 00:00:22.649 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:23.329 --> 00:00:26.329 “Allah was well pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance unto thee beneath the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down peace of reassurance on them, and hath rewarded them with a near victory;” (48:18) 00:00:26.530 --> 00:00:32.729 “Allah was well pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance unto thee beneath the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down peace of reassurance on them, and hath rewarded them with a near victory;” (48:18) 00:00:32.929 --> 00:00:35.329 “Allah was well pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance unto thee beneath the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down peace of reassurance on them, and hath rewarded them with a near victory;” (48:18) 00:00:35.329 --> 00:00:42.929 He sent down tranquility upon them. 00:00:43.130 --> 00:00:46.929 And rewarded them with a near victory. 00:00:47.130 --> 00:00:51.729 And many spoils which they will take. 00:00:51.929 --> 00:00:56.920 And Allah is Exalted in Might, All-Wise. 00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.119 Allah has indeed been pleased, O Muhammad. 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.920 “Allah was well pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance unto thee beneath the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down peace of reassurance on them, and hath rewarded them with a near victory;” (48:18) 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:07.519 This refers to the pledge of allegiance of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.319 While the Messenger of Allah was at al-Hudaybiyah. 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:12.319 Your Lord knew, O Muhammad. 00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:13.920 What was in the hearts of the believers. 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:16.719 Of sincerity of intention and patience alongside you. 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.120 So He sent down serenity and steadfastness upon them. 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:21.719 And compensated them in this world. 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.319 With a near victory, instead of the spoils of the people of Makkah. 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.319 This, according to some, refers to. 00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:28.920 The conquest of Khaybar. 00:01:29.180 --> 00:01:30.980 And Allah rewarded those. 00:01:30.980 --> 00:01:36.180 Those who pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). 00:01:36.379 --> 00:01:38.780 With many spoils which they will take. 00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:41.579 From the wealth of the Jews of Khaybar. 00:01:41.780 --> 00:01:44.579 And Allah is possessor of might in His retribution. 00:01:44.780 --> 00:01:47.180 Against those of His enemies whom He punishes. 00:01:47.379 --> 00:01:53.200 Wise in His management of His creation, in whatever He wills of His decree. 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.599 “Allah promiseth you much booty that ye will capture, and hath given you this in advance, and hath withheld men's hands from you, that it may be a token for the believers, and that He may guide you on a right path.” (48:20) 00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:58.200 You will take them. 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.000 He hastened this for you. 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.799 And restrained the hands of the people from you. 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:09.800 And that it may be a sign for the believers. 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.800 And guide you to a straight path. 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.659 Allah has promised you, O people, many spoils that you will take. 00:02:20.860 --> 00:02:22.659 Which is every bounty. 00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:26.659 That Allah has granted the believers from the wealth of the polytheists. 00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:29.659 Such as the spoils of Hawazin and Ghatafan. 00:02:29.659 --> 00:02:31.460 And Persia and Byzantium. 00:02:31.659 --> 00:02:32.860 It has also been said. 00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:36.460 These spoils are the spoils of Khaybar. 00:02:36.659 --> 00:02:39.960 He hastened these spoils of Khaybar for you. 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.759 This is because the Muslims had not yet taken any spoils after al-Hudaybiyah. 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.360 Closer than the conquest of Khaybar and its spoils. 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.159 And Allah restrained the hands of the polytheists from you. 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:56.360 And that His restraining of their hands from your families. 00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.159 Might be a sign and a lesson for those who believe in Him. 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:04.159 So that they may know that Allah is the One who undertakes their protection. 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.090 “And other (gain), which ye have not been able to achieve, Allah will compass it, Allah is Able to do all things.” (48:21) 00:03:08.289 --> 00:03:11.090 “And other (gain), which ye have not been able to achieve, Allah will compass it, Allah is Able to do all things.” (48:21) 00:03:11.289 --> 00:03:16.090 And Allah is over all things competent. 00:03:16.289 --> 00:03:19.860 And your Lord promised you, O people. 00:03:20.060 --> 00:03:23.860 The conquest of another land which you were not able to conquer. 00:03:24.060 --> 00:03:26.860 Allah has encompassed it for its conquest. 00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:31.659 Allah has encompassed it for you until He grants it to you. 00:03:31.860 --> 00:03:34.659 And Allah is, over everything He wills of matters. 00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:39.550 Possessor of power; nothing is impossible for Him. 00:03:39.750 --> 00:03:42.550 “And if those who disbelieve join battle with you they will take to flight, and afterward they will find no protecting friend nor helper.” (48:22) 00:03:42.750 --> 00:03:44.550 They would have turned their backs. 00:03:44.750 --> 00:03:51.319 “And if those who disbelieve join battle with you they will take to flight, and afterward they will find no protecting friend nor helper.” (48:22) 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.319 And if those who disbelieved had fought you in Makkah. 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:56.319 They would have been defeated before you. 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.120 These defeated disbelievers would have found no protector. 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.120 To support them in fighting you. 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.120 Nor any helper to aid them against you. 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.120 Because Allah is with you. 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:13.300 “It is the law of Allah which hath taken course aforetime. Thou wilt not find for the law of Allah aught of power to change.” (48:23) 00:04:13.500 --> 00:04:19.300 And you will never find in the Sunnah of Allah any change. 00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:24.100 “It is the law of Allah which hath taken course aforetime. Thou wilt not find for the law of Allah aught of power to change.” (48:23) 00:04:24.300 --> 00:04:27.100 For if these disbelievers had fought you. 00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:30.899 Allah would have humiliated them until He defeated them before you. 00:04:31.100 --> 00:04:33.899 Just as He did to their likes among the people of disbelief. 00:04:34.100 --> 00:04:36.899 From the nations that passed away before them. 00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:39.899 And you will never find, O Muhammad, in the Sunnah of Allah. 00:04:40.100 --> 00:04:43.769 Which He has established for His creation, any alteration. 00:04:43.970 --> 00:04:47.769 “And He it is Who hath withheld men's hands from you, and hath withheld your hands from them, in the valley of Mecca, after He had made you victors over them. Allah is Seer of what ye do.” (48:24) 00:04:47.970 --> 00:04:52.769 “And He it is Who hath withheld men's hands from you, and hath withheld your hands from them, in the valley of Mecca, after He had made you victors over them. Allah is Seer of what ye do.” (48:24) 00:04:52.970 --> 00:04:54.769 “And He it is Who hath withheld men's hands from you, and hath withheld your hands from them, in the valley of Mecca, after He had made you victors over them. Allah is Seer of what ye do.” (48:24) 00:04:54.970 --> 00:04:57.769 That I might grant you victory over them. 00:04:57.970 --> 00:05:03.410 Because Allah is All-Seeing of what you do. 00:05:03.610 --> 00:05:06.410 Allah restrained the hands of the polytheists. 00:05:06.610 --> 00:05:11.410 Who had gone out against the camp of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). 00:05:11.610 --> 00:05:13.410 At al-Hudaybiyah. 00:05:13.610 --> 00:05:16.410 Seeking to catch them off guard to strike them. 00:05:16.610 --> 00:05:21.410 So the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sent for them. 00:05:21.610 --> 00:05:23.410 And they were brought as captives. 00:05:23.610 --> 00:05:27.410 Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) released them. 00:05:27.410 --> 00:05:30.209 He had mercy on them and did not kill them. 00:05:30.410 --> 00:05:34.209 And Allah is All-Seeing of your deeds and their deeds. 00:05:34.410 --> 00:05:37.980 Nothing of them is hidden from Him. 00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:40.980 “These it was who disbelieved and debarred you from the Inviolable Place of Worship, and debarred the offering from reaching its goal. And if it had not been for believing men and believing women, whom ye know not - lest ye should tread them under foot and thus incur guilt for them unknowingly; that Allah might bring into His mercy whom He will - If (the believers and the disbelievers) had been clearly separated We verily had punished those of them who disbelieved with painful punishment.” (48:25) 00:05:41.180 --> 00:05:43.980 “These it was who disbelieved and debarred you from the Inviolable Place of Worship, and debarred the offering from reaching its goal. And if it had not been for believing men and believing women, whom ye know not - lest ye should tread them under foot and thus incur guilt for them unknowingly; that Allah might bring into His mercy whom He will - If (the believers and the disbelievers) had been clearly separated We verily had punished those of them who disbelieved with painful punishment.” (48:25) 00:05:44.180 --> 00:05:47.980 “These it was who disbelieved and debarred you from the Inviolable Place of Worship, and debarred the offering from reaching its goal.

And if it had not been for believing men and believing women, whom ye know not - lest ye should tread them under foot and thus incur guilt for them unknowingly; that Allah might bring into His mercy whom He will - If (the believers and the disbelievers) had been clearly separated We verily had punished those of them who disbelieved with painful punishment.” (48:25) 00:05:59.980 --> 00:06:05.779 That you might strike them, causing you harm without knowledge. 00:06:05.980 --> 00:06:11.779 “These it was who disbelieved and debarred you from the Inviolable Place of Worship, and debarred the offering from reaching its goal. And if it had not been for believing men and believing women, whom ye know not - lest ye should tread them under foot and thus incur guilt for them unknowingly; that Allah might bring into His mercy whom He will - If (the believers and the disbelievers) had been clearly separated We verily had punished those of them who disbelieved with painful punishment.” (48:25) 00:06:11.980 --> 00:06:18.779 “These it was who disbelieved and debarred you from the Inviolable Place of Worship, and debarred the offering from reaching its goal.

And Allah is Aware of all things.” (48:26) 00:07:31.389 --> 00:07:36.189 The pride of the Age of Ignorance. 00:07:36.389 --> 00:07:39.189 Then Allah sent down His tranquility. 00:07:39.389 --> 00:07:43.189 Upon His Messenger and upon the believers. 00:07:43.389 --> 00:07:46.189 Then Allah sent down His tranquility. 00:07:46.189 --> 00:07:48.990 Upon His Messenger and upon the believers. 00:07:49.189 --> 00:07:54.990 And bound them to the word of righteousness. 00:07:55.189 --> 00:07:58.990 “When those who disbelieve had set up in their hearts zealotry, the zealotry of the Age of Ignorance, then Allah sent down His peace of reassurance upon His messenger and upon the believers and imposed on them the word of self-restraint, for they were worthy of it and meet for it. And Allah is Aware of all things.” (48:26) 00:07:59.189 --> 00:08:03.990 And Allah is of all things Knowing. 00:08:04.189 --> 00:08:08.600 “When those who disbelieve had set up in their hearts zealotry, the zealotry of the Age of Ignorance, then Allah sent down His peace of reassurance upon His messenger and upon the believers and imposed on them the word of self-restraint, for they were worthy of it and meet for it. And Allah is Aware of all things.” (48:26) 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:10.600 The pride of the Age of Ignorance. 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:14.600 When Suhayl ibn Amr felt pride in his heart. 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.399 And refused to write in the treaty document. 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:22.399 Which was written in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.399 And the polytheists: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.399 And that it be written in it: "Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah." 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:32.399 And he and his people refused. 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:35.399 To allow the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) to enter. 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.399 That year. 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:39.399 So Allah sent down patience and serenity. 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.399 Upon His Messenger and upon the believers. 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.200 And bound them to the saying: "There is no god but Allah." 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.200 By which they protect themselves from the Fire. 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.200 And the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.200 And the believers were more entitled to the word of righteousness. 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:57.200 Than the polytheists and their people. 00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:01.200 And Allah has ever been of all things Knowing. 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:04.200 Nothing that is to come is hidden from Him. 00:09:13.259 --> 00:09:19.059 The Sacred Mosque, if Allah wills, in safety. 00:09:19.259 --> 00:09:24.059 “Allah hath fulfilled the vision for His messenger in very truth. Ye shall indeed enter the Inviolable Place of Worship, if Allah will, secure, (having your hair) shaven and cut, not fearing. But He knoweth that which ye know not, and hath given you a near victory beforehand.” (48:27) 00:09:24.259 --> 00:09:27.059 You do not fear. 00:09:27.259 --> 00:09:29.059 “Allah hath fulfilled the vision for His messenger in very truth. Ye shall indeed enter the Inviolable Place of Worship, if Allah will, secure, (having your hair) shaven and cut, not fearing. But He knoweth that which ye know not, and hath given you a near victory beforehand.” (48:27) 00:09:29.259 --> 00:09:35.059 “Allah hath fulfilled the vision for His messenger in very truth. Ye shall indeed enter the Inviolable Place of Worship, if Allah will, secure, (having your hair) shaven and cut, not fearing. But He knoweth that which ye know not, and hath given you a near victory beforehand.” (48:27) 00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:39.539 Allah has indeed fulfilled the vision for His Messenger Muhammad. 00:09:39.740 --> 00:09:41.539 That he and his Companions would enter. 00:09:41.539 --> 00:09:44.340 The Sacred House of Allah in safety. 00:09:44.539 --> 00:09:48.340 With some having their heads shaved and others having their hair shortened. 00:09:48.539 --> 00:09:50.340 Not fearing the people of polytheism. 00:09:50.539 --> 00:09:53.340 So Allah knew what you did not know. 00:09:53.539 --> 00:09:55.340 And that is His knowledge of what was in Makkah. 00:09:55.539 --> 00:09:58.340 Of believing men and women. 00:09:58.539 --> 00:10:01.340 Whom the believers did not know. 00:10:01.539 --> 00:10:04.340 And if you had entered it that year. 00:10:04.539 --> 00:10:06.340 You would have trampled them with horses and foot soldiers. 00:10:06.539 --> 00:10:10.340 So Allah granted His Messenger (peace be upon him). 00:10:10.340 --> 00:10:14.139 And those who were with him from the people of the Pledge of Ridwan. 00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:15.139 A near victory. 00:10:15.340 --> 00:10:18.139 Other than their entering the Sacred Mosque. 00:10:18.340 --> 00:10:23.139 And other than the fulfillment of the vision of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). 00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:28.139 The Treaty of al-Hudaybiyah and the conquest of Khaybar were before that. 00:10:28.340 --> 00:10:33.980 It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth. 00:10:34.179 --> 00:10:38.980 To manifest it over all religion. 00:10:38.980 --> 00:10:42.779 And sufficient is Allah as a Witness. 00:10:42.980 --> 00:10:47.769 It is He who sent His Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him). 00:10:47.970 --> 00:10:49.769 With the clear evidence. 00:10:49.970 --> 00:10:52.769 To invalidate all false religions through it. 00:10:52.970 --> 00:10:56.769 At that time, Islam will manifest over all religions. 00:10:56.970 --> 00:11:00.860 Your Lord makes you a witness, O Muhammad, over Himself. 00:11:01.059 --> 00:11:03.860 That He will manifest the religion with which He sent you. 00:11:04.059 --> 00:11:06.860 And sufficient is He as a Witness. 00:11:06.860 --> 00:11:12.399 Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:20.399 “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
