00:02:53.500 --> 00:02:57.939 Or do you say, “Our fathers were polytheists before.” 00:02:58.259 --> 00:03:00.900 We were descendants after them 00:03:01.340 --> 00:03:03.340 We followed those who attacked them 00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:07.539 Will you destroy us by associating those who polytheized among our fathers? 00:03:07.939 --> 00:03:11.939 Those who invalidated their claim to a god other than God 00:03:13.419 --> 00:03:20.379 And thus We detail the verses, and perhaps they will return 00:03:21.849 --> 00:03:26.090 And as we have detailed, O Muhammad, for your people, the verses of this Surah 00:03:26.569 --> 00:03:30.050 We explained in it what we did to the previous nations 00:03:30.729 --> 00:03:35.050 Likewise, We will detail other verses and explain them to your people 00:03:35.650 --> 00:03:38.330 Let them be encouraged to obey me 00:03:38.729 --> 00:03:40.729 And they repent from their polytheism 00:03:42.139 --> 00:03:50.180 And recite to them the story of the one to whom We gave Our signs and he broke away from them 00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:58.180 Then he slipped away from it, and Satan followed him, and he became one of the deviants 00:03:59.939 --> 00:04:01.939 And recite, O Muhammad, upon your people 00:04:02.539 --> 00:04:06.020 We inform you of what we have given, our arguments and evidence 00:04:06.620 --> 00:04:10.699 So he came out of the signs that God had given him 00:04:11.259 --> 00:04:12.620 So he disavowed her 00:04:13.419 --> 00:04:14.900 Then Satan followed him 00:04:15.379 --> 00:04:17.579 He became a follower of himself 00:04:18.220 --> 00:04:21.019 He ends up disobeying God 00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:23.540 He was among those who perished 00:04:24.980 --> 00:04:32.300 If We had willed, We would have lifted him up with it, but he remained on earth 00:04:32.620 --> 00:04:39.100 But he went down to earth and followed his desires 00:04:39.500 --> 00:04:46.779 He is like a dog, if you force him to pant or leave him panting 00:04:47.259 --> 00:04:52.939 That is like the people who denied Our signs 00:04:53.339 --> 00:04:58.699 So tell stories so that they might think 00:05:00.189 --> 00:05:06.509 Had We willed, We could have elevated this man to whom We have given Our signs with Our signs which We have given him 00:05:07.230 --> 00:05:12.029 But he settled for the life of this world on earth and leaned toward it 00:05:12.589 --> 00:05:15.949 He preferred her pleasure and desires to the afterlife 00:05:16.350 --> 00:05:19.230 He refused to obey God and followed his desires 00:05:19.870 --> 00:05:24.110 Such is the one to whom We gave Our signs and he became detached from them 00:05:24.589 --> 00:05:28.750 Like a panting dog you kicked out or left 00:05:29.310 --> 00:05:33.550 He is like him in his panting because of his abandonment of working according to the Book of God 00:05:34.029 --> 00:05:36.189 And his turning away from God’s preaching 00:05:36.670 --> 00:05:42.189 Whether he preached the signs of God that He had given him or not 00:05:42.670 --> 00:05:44.670 So he does not abandon disbelief in him 00:05:45.230 --> 00:05:51.709 He is like a dog that, regardless of its command, whether it is panting, is expelled or not 00:05:52.579 --> 00:05:58.339 This is the example that you gave of this one to whom We gave Our signs and he slipped away from them 00:05:58.899 --> 00:06:02.899 Like the people who denied our arguments and our arguments 00:06:03.620 --> 00:06:06.660 So they followed the path of this slaughterhouse 00:06:07.660 --> 00:06:11.500 So tell me, O Muhammad, these stories that I told you 00:06:12.139 --> 00:06:17.180 Of the information to whom We have given Our signs and the news of the nations which I have told you 00:06:17.740 --> 00:06:22.699 Let them think about this, consider it, and come forward to obey us 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:34.160 Miserable as me are the people who denied Our verses while they were wronging themselves 00:06:35.699 --> 00:06:41.620 The people who disbelieved in God’s arguments and evidence and denied them were as bad as me 00:06:42.339 --> 00:06:47.379 And they themselves were diminishing its presence and underestimating its benefits 00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:50.420 By denying them and nothing else 00:06:52.209 --> 00:07:03.250 Whoever God guides is the one who is guided, and whoever He leads astray - those are the losers 00:07:04.689 --> 00:07:10.050 Whoever God helps to obey Him is the one who is guided and follows the path of truth 00:07:10.850 --> 00:07:15.250 Whoever misleads and does not guide him to obey Him is doomed 00:07:17.089 --> 00:07:25.089 And We have created for Hell many jinn and humans 00:07:25.569 --> 00:07:32.850 They have hearts with which they do not understand, and they have eyes with which they do not see 00:07:33.329 --> 00:07:41.089 They have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear 00:07:41.810 --> 00:07:52.000 These are like cattle, nay, they are more astray.
