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
Surah An-Nisa
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Let those who exchange the life of this world for the afterlife fight in the name of God
And whoever fights in the cause of God, he will be killed or defeated
We will give him a great reward
Let those who sell their lives in this world for the reward of the hereafter be fought in the religion of God
And sell them to them
They spend their money seeking God’s satisfaction
And they gave their guidance to him about it
And whoever fights for the sake of God in order to establish the religion of God
Then the enemies of God kill him
Or he defeats them and wins them
We will give him a great reward
Why do you not fight for the sake of God when you are weak among men?
And the evening and the children who say, “Our Lord, take us out of this town whose people are oppressive.”
And appoint for us a guardian from Yourself
And make us a helper from You
And what is the matter with you, O believers, that you do not fight for the sake of God?
And about the weak people of your religion
Those whom the disbelievers have weakened and humiliated
In order to tempt them and turn them away from their religion
Of men, women and boys
Who say in their prayers
Oh God, get us out of this village
It is Mecca that has wronged us
And appoint for us from You a guardian who will be responsible for our affairs
And appoint for us someone from You who will help us against those who wronged us
Those who believe fight in the cause of God
And those who disbelieve fight in the name of the tyrant
So they fought the friends of Satan
Satan's plot was weak
Those who believe in God and His Messenger
They fight in obedience to God and according to the method of His religion
And those who denied the oneness of God and denied His Messenger
They fight to obey Satan, his path and his method
So, O believers, fight Satan’s friends
Satan's plot is due to his siding with his unbelievers against people of faith
He was weak
Do not fear Satan's friends
Have you not seen those who were told to hold back your hands and perform prayer?
And perform prayer and give zakat
When fighting was prescribed for them
So a group of them fear people as they fear God
Or more afraid
And they said, “Our Lord, why did you decree fighting for us?”
If it were not for our delay for a short time
Say the enjoyment of the world is little
The afterlife is better for those who fear
And you will not oppress a fuse
Did you not look with your heart, O Muhammad, at those who were told of your companions?
When they asked you to ask your Lord to force them to fight
Restrain your hands and refrain from fighting the polytheists
They performed prayers and gave zakat to those who deserve it
When the fighting they had asked for was forced upon them
If a group of them fear that people will fight them
Like the fear of God or more fear
They said they were afraid of the fighting
When you forced us to fight
Do you not delay us until they die on their beds and in their homes?
Say, O Muhammad, to these people
Your life in this world and your enjoyment of it are little
Because it is mortal
The bliss of the Hereafter is better for those who fear God
And God will not diminish the rewards of your deeds by a single ounce
Say it's all from God
What is the matter with these people who can hardly understand a word?
Wherever you are, death will strike you and you will die
Do not be afraid of death and be weak in meeting your enemy
Death will reach your souls
Even if you defend yourself against it with strong fortresses
And if they are blessed with prosperity, victory and conquest
They say this is from God and by His discretion
Even if they are distressed by defeat, wounds and pain
They say this is from Muhammad
He mismanaged and misconsidered
Say, O Muhammad, to these people
It's all from God
What is the matter with these people, they hardly know
The truth of what you tell them
Of everything that befalls them, whether good or evil
It is from God
Whatever good befalls you is from God
Whatever evil befalls you is from yourself
And We sent you as a messenger to the people
God is sufficient as a witness
What prosperity and blessing befalls you, O Muhammad
It is God's grace upon you
And whatever hardship, hardship and misfortune has befallen you
It is from yourself through a sin that you have acquired
We have only made you, O Muhammad, a messenger
If they accept what I was sent with, it is for themselves
If they respond, do so
May God be your witness in your statement
And to whom it was sent
Your matter and their matter are not hidden from him
He is your reward and their reward
Whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed God
And whoever turns away, We have not sent you as a guardian over them
Whoever among you people obeys Muhammad has obeyed me
And whoever turns away from obeying you, O Muhammad, then turn away from you
For We did not send you over them as a guardian and accountant of what they do
Rather, We sent you to explain to them what was revealed to them
It is sufficient for us to preserve their deeds
They have accountants for it
They say obedience
If they leave you, a group of them will come home other than what you say
And God writes what they spend the night
So turn away from them and trust in God
God is sufficient as a disposer of affairs
And they say to the Prophet of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, if he orders them to do something
Your command is obeyed
So if they leave you, O Muhammad
Change a group of them at night that you tell them
And God writes down whatever you say at night
In the books of their deeds that you write, you have preserved it
So, O Muhammad, turn away from these hypocrites
You delegate your affairs to God
And God is sufficient for you as a disposer of affairs in what He commands you
And defend and support you
They do not contemplate the Qur’an
Even if it was from other than God
They would have found a lot of difference in it
Will those who spend the night not contemplate other than what you tell them, O Muhammad, the Book of God?
So they know God’s argument against them in obeying you
And what I have brought to them is a revelation from their Lord
Because of the consistency of its meanings and the distortion of its rulings
If that were from someone other than God
Its rulings would differ and its meanings would be contradictory
Some of them revealed the corruption of others
If a matter of security or fear comes to them
They claimed it
Even if they returned it to the Messenger and to those in authority among them
He knows those who infer it from them
And had it not been for God’s grace and mercy upon you
You will not follow Satan except a little
And if this group came to spend the night
Other than what the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, says
News about an invasive Muslim secret
That they were safe from their enemy
Or their fear of their enemy
Disclose it and spread it among the people before the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
Even if they rejected the command that befell them from their enemy and the Muslims
To the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
And to their princes
They remained silent and did not broadcast the news that came to them
Until he is the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
Those in charge of their affairs are the ones responsible for reporting on this
They correct it if it is correct
Or invalidate it if it is invalid
Knowing this is one of those in authority who deduces it
And had it not been that God has bestowed upon you, O believers
Thanks to him and his success
So I saved you from what these hypocrites were afflicted with
You would have been like them, so you would have followed Satan
If a matter of security or fear comes to them
They broadcast it except a few of them
So fight in the name of God, and you do not burden anyone but yourself
He incited the believers
Perhaps God will stop the violence of those who disbelieve
God is more powerful and more severe in punishment
So fight, O Muhammad, the enemies of God among the polytheists in Islam
God does not burden you with what He has imposed on you of jihad against His enemy and your enemy
Except what carried you from that
And urge the believers to fight those whom I ordered you to fight
Perhaps God will stop the fighting of those who deny His oneness
God is more severe in spite of His enemy and more severe in punishment
Do not give up fighting them
I will monitor them with force, spite, abuse, and punishment
Whoever intercedes with a good deed, a share of it will be given to him
And whoever intercedes for a bad deed, a liability for it will be assigned to him
God is abhorrent to everything
O Muhammad, who will insist on interceding for the sins of your companions?
He will intercede for them in jihad against their enemy
For his intercession, he will receive a share of God’s reward
And who can intercede for the sins of the people of disbelief in God against those who believe in Him?
So he fights them with them, and he gets a share of the burden and the sin
God is the Protector and Witness of all things
It is not objectionable that the verse was revealed as we mentioned
Then it affected every intercessor, whether good or bad
If you are greeted with a greeting, greet with a better one or return it
Indeed, God is the Accountant of all things
If you are prayed for long life, survival and safety
So pray for the one who prayed for you better than what he prayed for you
Or return the greeting: God is over everything
What do you people do, whether obedience or disobedience?
To protect you until He rewards you for it
God, there is no god but Him
To gather you together until the Day of Resurrection, of which there is no doubt
Who is more truthful in speech than God?
The deity to whom worship is not appropriate
To resurrect you after your death
May all of you be brought to a stand of reckoning
In which people are rewarded for their deeds, there is no doubt about the truth of that
What speaker is truer in speech than God?
This is because the liar is just lying
To bring benefit or harm with his lies
God is the Creator of benefit and harm
