WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.039 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:12.740 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammar 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.000 Surah Al-Nour 00:00:18.589 --> 00:00:22.670 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:27.780 God is the light of the heavens and the earth 00:00:27.980 --> 00:00:34.700 The likeness of His light is like a niche in which there is a lamp 00:00:35.140 --> 00:00:37.700 The lamp in a glass 00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:51.219 The bottle looks like a shining star lit from a blessed tree 00:00:51.219 --> 00:01:04.060 An olive tree neither native nor western, whose oil almost glows even if fire touches it 00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:07.219 Light upon light 00:01:07.700 --> 00:01:13.019 God guides to His light whomever He wills 00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:21.219 God sets examples for people, and God is All-Knowing of all things 00:01:22.819 --> 00:01:25.780 God is the guide of those in the heavens and the earth 00:01:26.219 --> 00:01:28.980 By His light, they are guided to the truth 00:01:29.579 --> 00:01:33.299 Just as the truth has been illuminated by this revelation in its explanation 00:01:33.739 --> 00:01:34.780 Like a niche 00:01:35.379 --> 00:01:38.379 It is the pillar of the lamp that contains the wick 00:01:39.019 --> 00:01:44.500 This is the equivalent of the niche that is in walls that have no opening 00:01:45.140 --> 00:01:47.140 The niche contains a lamp 00:01:47.739 --> 00:01:52.579 It is an example of what is in the heart of the believer from the Qur’an and the clear verses 00:01:53.180 --> 00:01:54.939 And the lamp is in the bottle 00:01:55.620 --> 00:01:57.739 This is an example of the Qur’an 00:01:58.260 --> 00:01:58.980 He says 00:01:59.620 --> 00:02:04.579 The Qur’an that is in the heart of the believer whose heart God has illuminated in his chest 00:02:05.180 --> 00:02:09.460 Then, like the chest, it is free from disbelief in God and doubt in Him 00:02:09.979 --> 00:02:12.099 And his enlightenment with the light of the Qur’an 00:02:12.699 --> 00:02:17.460 And he was humbled by the clear signs of his Lord and His exhortations therein 00:02:17.939 --> 00:02:19.379 On the bright planet 00:02:20.169 --> 00:02:20.810 And he said 00:02:21.490 --> 00:02:22.330 The bottle 00:02:22.969 --> 00:02:25.810 That is the chest of the believer, in which is his heart 00:02:26.370 --> 00:02:28.289 As if it were a bright planet 00:02:28.849 --> 00:02:31.169 That is, Satan is repelled and stoned with it 00:02:31.889 --> 00:02:35.729 The bottle lights its stove from a blessed tree 00:02:36.330 --> 00:02:39.210 The lamp is made from the oil of a blessed tree 00:02:39.810 --> 00:02:42.969 Olive is neither eastern nor western 00:02:43.569 --> 00:02:47.210 It will be in a place where nothing will protect it from the sun 00:02:47.729 --> 00:02:50.250 Look at it and wonder at it 00:02:50.969 --> 00:02:56.250 The oil of this olive tree almost shines due to its purity and good light 00:02:56.689 --> 00:02:58.409 Even if no fire touched him 00:02:58.969 --> 00:03:01.009 What if fire touches him? 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.639 So God Almighty made his remembrance clear to His creation 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:10.120 Its clarity and clarity almost illuminate those who think about it and consider it 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:12.800 Or turn away from her and her 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:19.000 Even if God had not increased their clarification and clarity by sending down this Qur’an to them 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.479 Warning them to his unification 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.719 So what if he alerted them to it and reminded them of its signs? 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:30.560 So he added evidence to his arguments against them before that 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.719 That is a statement from God and a light on the statement 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.840 And the light that he had placed for them and installed before his descent 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:44.599 God grants success to whomsoever of His servants He wishes to follow His light 00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:48.639 God represents examples and similarities to people 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.879 God gives proverbs and others 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:53.120 Knowledgeable 00:03:54.580 --> 00:04:01.180 In houses that God has permitted to be raised and His name to be mentioned in them 00:04:01.740 --> 00:04:09.300 His name is mentioned therein, and He is glorified therein in the mornings and the evenings 00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:16.740 Men who are not distracted by trade or sale from the remembrance of God 00:04:16.740 --> 00:04:24.060 And perform prayers and pay zakat 00:04:24.060 --> 00:04:34.139 They fear a day when hearts and eyes will be transformed 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:38.120 God is the light of the heavens and the earth 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.879 The likeness of His light is like a niche in which there is a lamp 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.759 In houses God has permitted to raise construction 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.319 He permitted His servants to mention His name in it 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:54.439 He prays for him in these homes in the mornings and evenings 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:59.720 Men do not occupy these men who pray 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.560 Trade or sale based on remembrance of God and sincere obedience to Him 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.160 They fear a day when hearts will be shaken by terror 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.800 Between the desire for salvation and the warning of doom 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.160 Eyes fluctuate whichever direction it is taken 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.160 Is it right or left? 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:22.800 Where do they get their books from? 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.480 Believe before the oath or before the good deeds 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.000 That will be the Day of Resurrection 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:37.439 May God reward them for the best of what they have done and increase them of His grace 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:45.199 And God provides for whomever He wills without reckoning 00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:50.540 Neither trade nor sale distracted them from the remembrance of God 00:05:51.060 --> 00:05:53.660 They established prayer and paid zakat 00:05:54.180 --> 00:05:58.699 They obeyed their Lord out of fear of His punishment on the Day of Resurrection 00:05:59.259 --> 00:06:05.220 So that God will reward them on the Day of Resurrection for the best deeds they did in this world 00:06:05.740 --> 00:06:07.500 And He increases their reward 00:06:07.939 --> 00:06:11.660 He bestows favor upon them with whatever dignity He bestows upon them 00:06:12.259 --> 00:06:17.620 God is gracious to whomever He wills and desires what He does not deserve by His deeds 00:06:18.019 --> 00:06:19.779 He did not inform him of his obedience 00:06:20.259 --> 00:06:23.899 Without being held accountable for what he did and gave to him 00:06:38.769 --> 00:06:44.649 Even when he came to him, he found nothing 00:06:45.170 --> 00:06:52.370 He did not find anything for him, and he found God with him and fulfilled his account 00:06:52.930 --> 00:06:56.129 God is quick to calculate 00:06:57.620 --> 00:07:00.060 And those who denied the monotheism of their Lord 00:07:00.579 --> 00:07:04.100 Their deeds that they have done are like a mirage 00:07:04.540 --> 00:07:06.899 In the one who spreads out the earth and expands 00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:10.779 Thirsty people think a mirage is water 00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:15.379 Even when the thirsty person comes to the mirage seeking water 00:07:15.860 --> 00:07:17.819 The mirage found nothing 00:07:18.459 --> 00:07:24.060 So are those who disbelieve in God due to their deeds that they did out of delusion 00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:28.500 They think that God will save them from His punishment 00:07:29.060 --> 00:07:33.259 And God found this infidel waiting for his death 00:07:33.819 --> 00:07:38.740 On the Day of Resurrection, He will give him an account of his deeds that he did in this world 00:07:39.259 --> 00:07:42.500 He rewarded him with the punishment he deserved 00:07:43.259 --> 00:07:45.100 God is quick to judge 00:07:45.579 --> 00:07:49.540 Because God Almighty does not require crossing fingers 00:07:50.019 --> 00:07:51.660 And do not memorize with a heart 00:07:52.259 --> 00:07:56.699 But he knew all of that before the servant did it 00:07:57.060 --> 00:07:58.699 And after what he did 00:08:04.019 --> 00:08:15.259 It is covered by waves, above it is waves, above it is clouds 00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:23.300 Boys, one on top of the other. When he took his hand out, he could hardly see them 00:08:24.019 --> 00:08:30.660 And whoever God does not give him light, he has no light 00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:38.360 Like the actions of these infidels, they were done wrongly and corruptly 00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:43.919 Like darkness in a deep sea full of water 00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:46.039 The sea is covered with waves 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.639 Above the wave another wave covers it 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.840 Above the second wave there are clouds 00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:56.399 So He made darknesses an example of their deeds 00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.120 The deep sea is an example of the heart of an infidel 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.399 He says he worked with the intention of a heart that was overwhelmed by ignorance 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.360 He is overwhelmed by misguidance and confusion 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:15.080 Just as this deep sea is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:20.679 If the observer stuck his hand out into this darkness, he would hardly see it 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:26.960 Whoever God does not grant him faith, guidance from misguidance, and knowledge of His Book 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:31.720 He has no faith, guidance, and knowledge of his book 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:58.159 Did you not look, O Muhammad, with the eyes of your heart? 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:05.120 So you know that whoever is in the heavens and the earth, from angels, humans, and jinn, prays to God 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.720 And the birds are also flying in the air, swimming to him 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.080 Every serum and rosary of them 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.240 God has taught his prayers and praises 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:21.639 And God is the One with knowledge of what every praying and praising God among them does 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:25.000 Nothing of their actions is hidden from him 00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.360 Surrounding it all 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.799 He rewards them for all of that 00:10:39.809 --> 00:10:43.450 To God belongs the authority and dominion of the heavens and the earth 00:10:43.970 --> 00:10:46.570 So be afraid of him, people 00:10:47.129 --> 00:10:51.529 After your death, you are your destiny and your return to Him 00:10:52.049 --> 00:10:54.730 He will reward you for your deeds 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:06.519 My heart is a cloud, then He unites it 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:12.360 Then he turns it into rubble 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:17.559 So you see the moisture coming out through it 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:23.320 And descends from the sky 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.720 From mountains in which there is cold 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:44.720 He afflicts with it whomever He wants and turns it away from whomever He wants. Its lightning almost takes away sight 00:11:44.720 --> 00:12:00.740 Have you not seen, O Muhammad, that God drives clouds wherever He wants, then combines the clouds, bringing together the scattered ones, then makes the clouds pile up one upon another? 00:12:00.740 --> 00:12:19.740 So you see the rain coming out from between the clouds, and His saying, “And it descends from the sky from mountains in which there is hail,” was said to mean that God descends from the sky from mountains in the sky of hail created there. 00:12:19.740 --> 00:12:46.899 The other saying is that God sends down from the sky the size of mountains of hail to the earth, and thus punishes whomever He wills, destroying him or his crops and wealth, and diverting it from whomever He wishes of His creation and from their crops and wealth. 00:12:46.899 --> 00:12:59.740 God turns the night and the day. Indeed, in that is a lesson for those with insight 00:12:59.740 --> 00:13:26.279 God alternates between night and day and disperses them. When this is gone, this comes. Indeed, in God’s creation of the clouds and His sending down of them is rain, and from the sky is hail, and in His altering of night and day is a lesson for those who consider it, because that foretells and indicates that He has a manager and a disposer of things. 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:53.340 God created every animal from water, and some of them walk on their stomachs, and some of them walk on two legs, and some of them walk on four legs. 00:13:53.340 --> 00:14:05.340 God creates whatever He wants. God has power over all things 00:14:05.340 --> 00:14:15.100 God created every animal from a sperm, and some of them walk on its stomach like snakes and the like 00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:38.100 And among them are those who walk on two legs like birds, and among them are those who walk on four legs like animals. God creates whatever He wills of creation. Indeed, God is able to bring about that and create it and create whatever things He wills. Other than Him, He has power. Nothing is impossible for Him. 00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:53.970 We have sent down clear verses, and God guides whomsoever He wills to a straight path 00:14:53.970 --> 00:15:12.799 O people, We have sent down clear signs that point to the path of truth, and God guides whomever He wills from among His creation by granting them success, so He guides them to the religion of Islam, which is the straight path on which Jaja has strayed. 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:36.629 And they say, “We believe in God and in the Messenger, and we obey.” Then a group of them turns away after that, but those are not believers 00:15:36.629 --> 00:15:58.110 The hypocrites say, “We believed in God and the Messenger, and we obeyed God and we obeyed the Messenger.” Then each group of them pondered after they had said this statement on the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and called for the trial to be taken by someone else, its opponent. 00:15:58.110 --> 00:16:11.110 Those who say this article do not believe in God and the Messenger, and we obey the believers because of their abandonment of seeking judgment from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. 00:16:11.110 --> 00:16:21.909 And when they are called to God and His Messenger to judge between them, then a group of them turns away 00:16:21.909 --> 00:16:39.519 And if these hypocrites are called to the Book of God and to His Messenger to judge between them regarding what they disputed with the judgment of God, then a group of them will turn away from accepting the truth and being satisfied with the judgment of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:46.320 If they have the right, they will come to him submissively 00:16:46.320 --> 00:17:00.740 And if the truth is for those who call to God and His Messenger to judge between them, they refuse and turn away. They come to the Messenger of God, submitting to his ruling and acknowledging it. 00:17:00.740 --> 00:17:16.539 Is there content in their hearts, or do they doubt, or do they fear that God and His Messenger will be unfair to them? Nay, those are the wrongdoers. 00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:29.589 Is it in the hearts of those who turn away when they are called to God and His Messenger to judge between them that there is no doubt in the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, that he is God’s Messenger? 00:17:29.589 --> 00:17:34.589 They refrain from responding to his ruling and being satisfied with it 00:17:34.589 --> 00:17:42.589 Or do they fear that God and His Messenger will be unfair to them if they resort to the ruling of the Book of God and the ruling of His Messenger? 00:17:42.589 --> 00:17:51.589 Rather, those who turn away from the rule of God and the rule of His Messenger are people who have wronged themselves by disobeying the command of their Lord 00:17:51.589 --> 00:18:13.680 The saying of the believers when they are called to God and His Messenger to judge between them is that they say, “We hear and we obey,” and those are the ones who will be successful. 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:35.380 Rather, the saying of the believers when they are called to the rule of God and the rule of His Messenger to judge between them and their opponents should be that they say, “We heard what was said to us, and we obeyed those who called us to that.” And those are the successful ones, who will live forever in the Gardens of God. 00:18:35.380 --> 00:18:51.440 And whoever obeys God and His Messenger, fears God, and fears God, those are the winners 00:18:51.440 --> 00:19:12.210 And whoever obeys God and His Messenger in what He commands and prohibits, fears the consequences of disobeying God, and fears God’s punishment by obeying Him in His commands and prohibitions, those are the ones who will attain God’s satisfaction with them on the Day of Resurrection and will be safe from His punishment. 00:19:12.210 --> 00:19:18.259 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
