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-Shammari
Surat Al-Bayyinah
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Those who disbelieved from among the People of the Book and the polytheists were not to depart until clear proof came to them
A messenger from God reciting purified scriptures
It contains valuable books
Those who were given the Book did not disperse except after clear proof had come to them
They were commanded only to worship God, sincerely in religion and upright with Him
Hanafi, and they perform prayer and pay zakat
That is a debt of value
The disbelievers from among the People of the Book and the polytheists were not divided regarding the matter of Muhammad
Until there comes to them an explanation of Muhammad’s command that he is the Messenger of God
God sent him to them
Then he translated the evidence and said:
That clear evidence is a messenger from God
He reads newspapers cleansed of falsehood
In the purified newspapers were written from God a fair and upright value
There is nothing wrong with it because it is from God
The Jews and Christians did not differ regarding the matter of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, so they denied him
Except after clear proof had come to them
Meaning, after the clear proof came to these Jews and Christians
It means explaining the command of Muhammad
He is a messenger whom God sent to his creation
He says, when God sent him, they dispersed
Some of them lied to him, and some of them believed
Before he was sent, they were not sure that he was a prophet
And what did God command these Jews and Christians who are the People of the Book?
Except that they worship God alone in obedience to Him
Upright to God and faithful to His monotheism
And singling out obedience and worship to Him
They do not mix obedience to their Lord with polytheism
And let them establish prayer and pay zakat
This is what was mentioned as being commanded by those who disbelieved among the People of the Book and the polytheists
It is the upright and just religion
Without Judaism and Christianity
And the femininity of value because it was made an attribute of the religion
Those who disbelieve are among the People of the Book and polytheists
In the fire of hell, they will abide therein forever
Those are the evil of the wilderness
Those who believe and do righteous deeds
Those are the best of humanity
Their reward is with their Lord, the Gardens of Eden
Rivers flow beneath it
They will abide therein forever
May God be pleased with them and they be pleased with him
This is for him who fears his Lord
Those who disbelieve in God and His Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
The Jews, Christians, and polytheists denied his prophecy
They are all in hellfire
They will remain in it forever, they will not leave it, nor will they die in it
And those who disbelieve are from the People of the Book and the polytheists
They are the worst of those whom God has acquitted and created
Those who believe in God and His Messenger Muhammad
And they worshiped God, sincerely in religion
They established prayer and paid zakat
They obeyed God in what He commanded and prohibited
They are the best of the wild
The reward of those who believe and do righteous deeds will be with their Lord on the Day of Resurrection
Orchards where there is no loss
Rivers flow beneath its trees
They will remain in it forever, they will not leave it, and they will not die in it
May God be pleased with them for what they obeyed Him in this world
They worked to save them from his punishment
They were satisfied with him for the reward he gave them on that day for their obedience to their Lord in this world
He rewarded them with dignity
This is the good that I described for those who fear God in this world, both secretly and publicly
So fear Him by performing His obligations and avoid His sins
