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 Al-Ahzab
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
O Prophet, fear God and do not obey the unbelievers and hypocrites
God is All-Knowing, All-Wise
O Prophet, fear God by obeying Him, performing His duties, and abstaining from His prohibitions
And do not obey the unbelievers and hypocrites
They are your enemies
God is aware of what their souls contain
Wise in managing your affairs and the affairs of your companions
And follow what is revealed to you from your Lord
Indeed, God is Acquainted with what you do
And do what God has revealed to you from His revelation
God is responsible for what you and your companions do from this Qur’an
He is experienced and nothing is hidden from him
He will reward you for that
And trust in God
God is sufficient as a disposer of affairs
And entrust your affairs to God, O Muhammad
God is sufficient for you in what He commands you, as your agent and guardian
God has not made a man two hearts inside him
And He did not make your wives any more than your mothers
And what makes your claims your children
That is what you say with your mouths
God speaks the truth and guides the path
God has not made a man two hearts inside him
This is a denial from God Almighty
According to the saying of someone who said to a man that he has two hearts within him, he can be rational with them
O men, God did not make your women not what you should say to them
That you groan upon us like the backs of our mothers, your mothers
Rather, it was made by you a lie
God did not make the one you claimed to be your son the son of someone else
That is what a man says to his wife, “You have my mother’s back.”
He who is not his son calls him to be his son
It is just your words with your mouths that have no truth
God is the truthful one who speaks the truth
And God makes clear to His servants the path of truth
He guides them to the path of guidance
Call them by their fathers, which is fairer with God
If you do not know their fathers
Your brothers in religion and your friends
There is no blame on you for what you did wrong
But what your hearts intended
God is Forgiving and Merciful
Lineage your claimants to those whose lineage you have linked to their fathers
He says to his Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
Zaid's lineage was traced back to his father, Haritha
And do not call him Zaid bin Muhammad
Your supplication for their parents is more just in the sight of God
If you do not know who his father is
He is your brother and your master
There is no blame or blame on you if you make a mistake in relating some of the people you attribute to his father
And you see him as the son of the one to whom they attribute his name
He is someone else's son
But the sin and embarrassment is on you in attributing his identity to someone other than his father
And you know that he is the son of someone other than the one to whom you attribute him
God was covering up the apparent sin of his wife
Whoever claims someone else’s son is his son
If he repents and returns to God’s command
And He has mercy on them
And his wives are their mothers
The relatives are more worthy of each other in the Book of God than the believers
Of the believers and immigrants, unless you do good to your friends
That was in the book
The Prophet Muhammad has more right to believers than to themselves
He may rule over them as he pleases
The sanctity of his wives is the same as their mothers
In that it is forbidden for them to marry him after his death
They are also forbidden from marrying their mothers
The relatives of relatives who inherited from one another
They are more deserving of the inheritance of some of them than the believers and immigrants, so that they inherit from each other through immigration and faith, rather than through family ties
Unless you do to your friends with whom the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was a brother between them and you, from the immigrants and the Ansar, as a kind of bequest to them.
Victory and reason are on their side
The relatives of the relatives were more worthy of each other in the written tablet
It was also hidden in the book
When we took the covenant from the prophets and from you, O Muhammad
We took from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus bin Maryam
We took from them a firm covenant that they would believe one another
That He may question the truthful about their truthfulness, and He has prepared for the unbelievers a painful punishment
We took from these prophets their covenant
In order to ask the messengers about what their nations responded to them
And what did their people do with the message that was conveyed to them about their Lord?
And He has prepared for the nations who disbelieve in God a painful punishment
Soldiers have come to you, so We sent upon them a wind and hosts that you did not see
And God is ever Seeing of what you do
O you who have believed, remember the blessings of God upon you which He bestowed upon your community
That was when the Muslims were besieged with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, during the days of the Trench
When the soldiers of the Quraish, Ghatafan, and Yahud ibn al-Nadir parties came to you
So We sent upon them the wind of youth until their pots filled their mouths
And you took away their cloaks until you weakened them and the angels, and you did not fight on that day
And God was in your deeds that day
This is their patience despite the effort and hardship they were experiencing
And their steadfastness towards their enemy is an all-seeing one, and nothing is hidden from that
When they came to you from above you and from below you
And from below you, when the eyes became distorted and the hearts reached the throats
And you have doubts about God
And God is ever Seeing of what you do
When the soldiers of the parties came to you from above you and below you
And when the eyes turned away from their place and the person of the aspirant
The hearts sprouted from their places of terror and fear and reached the throats
And you think false thoughts about God
Like those of them who thought that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, would prevail
But God promised him victory that it would not happen
Here for you, the believers were tested and suffered a severe earthquake
Then he tested the faith of the believers
They were greatly stirred up by sedition
And they were tested and tempted
And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease say:
God and His Messenger promised us nothing but delusion
And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts there is doubt about faith say:
God and His Messenger promised us nothing but delusion
This was said by hypocritical people
Muhammad was promising us the conquest of Persia and the Romans
We have limited it here
Even one of us cannot express his need
God and His Messenger promised us nothing but delusion
And when a group of them said, “O people of Yathrib, there is no place for you, so return.”
A group of them asked the Prophet, saying, “Our homes are naked.”
It is not ruggedness if they only want to escape
And when some of them said, “O people of Yathrib, there is no place for you to stay, so return to your homes.”
He ordered them to escape from the army of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and flee from it
Some of them asked the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, permission to leave him to his house
It is one of the enemy's enemies, and we fear thieves for it
But he wanted to flee and escape from the army of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
And if it had entered upon them from its lands and then they had been asked for temptation, they would have come to it, and they would not have tarried in it except for a little while.
Even if the city were entered, those who say
Indeed, our homes are rugged inside and around them.
Then they were asked to return from faith to polytheism
They did so and abandoned Islam and became polytheists
They did not refrain from responding to polytheism except a little
And they had covenanted with God before that they would not turn their backs, and God’s covenant was accountable.
Those who asked the permission of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, were reluctant
They had pledged to God before that that they would not turn away their enemy
They did not fulfill their promise
God's covenant was responsible
God asks that from the one who gave it to him from himself
Say, "Fleeing will not benefit you if you flee from death or killing. Then you will not have any enjoyment except a little."
Say, O Muhammad, to those who ask your permission to leave you
Fleeing will not benefit you if you are fleeing from death or murder
Because what God wrote of them will continue to you in any case
And if you escape from death or murder
Your escape has not increased in your lifetime
Rather, you will only enjoy this world until the time that has been written for you
Then what has been written for you and upon you will come to you
Say: Who is the one who protects you from God if He intends evil for you or desires mercy for you?
They will not find for themselves any protector or helper other than God
Say, O Muhammad, to those who ask your permission
Who is there to prevent you from God if He intends evil for you for yourselves?
From death, affliction, etc., or well-being and safety
These hypocrites do not find a guardian other than God who is sufficient for them
There is no helper from God to help them
So he protects them from the evil that God intended for them
