WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.039 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari. 00:00:08.589 --> 00:00:12.710 Abridged by Dr. Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari. 00:00:13.949 --> 00:00:16.149 Surah Muhammad. 00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:22.649 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:23.460 --> 00:00:32.500 Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those before them? 00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:36.020 Allah destroyed them completely. 00:00:36.219 --> 00:00:39.700 And for the disbelievers is something similar. 00:00:40.729 --> 00:00:44.570 Have these polytheists not traveled through the lands? 00:00:44.890 --> 00:00:50.609 So that they might observe how was the end of those who denied the truth among the nations that came before them. 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.479 Did We not destroy them and bring ruin upon their dwellings? 00:00:54.880 --> 00:01:01.640 And for the disbelievers among the Quraysh, there is a swift punishment similar to the end of those who came before them. 00:01:02.939 --> 00:01:07.939 “That is because Allah is patron of those who believe, and because the disbelievers have no patron.” (47:11) 00:01:07.939 --> 00:01:12.620 “That is because Allah is patron of those who believe, and because the disbelievers have no patron.” (47:11) 00:01:28.870 --> 00:01:36.469 Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds into gardens. 00:01:36.829 --> 00:01:43.670 Gardens beneath which rivers flow. 00:01:44.069 --> 00:01:53.590 “Lo! Allah will cause those who believe and do good works to enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow; while those who disbelieve take their comfort in this life and eat even as the cattle eat, and the Fire is their habitation.” (47:12) 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.799 Indeed, Allah alone possesses the divinity that is not appropriate for anyone else. 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:05.840 He admits those who believe in Allah and His Messenger into gardens beneath whose trees rivers flow. 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:13.080 As for those who reject the oneness of Allah, they enjoy the fleeting goods and adornments of this world. 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:19.360 They eat therein without reflecting on the Hereafter, just like the grazing livestock. 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.439 Which have no concern other than grazing and nothing more. 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:29.039 And the fire of Hell is their dwelling place to which they will return after their death. 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:45.439 “And how many a township stronger than thy township (O Muhammad) which hath cast thee out, have We destroyed, and they had no helper!” (47:13) 00:02:46.650 --> 00:02:51.129 And how many a city, O Muhammad, was stronger than your city. 00:02:51.650 --> 00:02:55.810 And its people were more powerful than the people of your city, which is Makkah. 00:02:56.449 --> 00:03:01.009 We destroyed them, and there was no helper to save them from the punishment of Allah. 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:16.240 “Is he who relieth on a clear proof from his Lord like those for whom the evil that they do is beautified while they follow their own lusts?” (47:14) 00:03:17.909 --> 00:03:24.110 Is he who is upon clear evidence, proof, and clarity from his Lord, and knowledge of His oneness? 00:03:24.870 --> 00:03:27.150 And he worships Him with insight. 00:03:27.789 --> 00:03:32.949 Like one to whom the evil of his deeds has been made attractive by Satan, so he sees it as beautiful? 00:03:33.710 --> 00:03:39.310 And they followed what their own souls invited them to, of disobedience to Allah and the worship of idols. 00:03:59.219 --> 00:04:06.259 And rivers of wine, a delight for the drinkers. 00:04:07.219 --> 00:04:11.780 And rivers of wine, a delight for the drinkers. 00:04:12.259 --> 00:04:16.180 And rivers of purified honey. 00:04:16.980 --> 00:04:23.620 “A similitude of the Garden which those who keep their duty (to Allah) are promised: Therein are rivers of water unpolluted, and rivers of milk whereof the flavour changeth not, and rivers of wine delicious to the drinkers, and rivers of clear-run honey; therein for them is every kind of fruit, with pardon from their Lord. (Are those who enjoy all this) like those who are immortal in the Fire and are given boiling water to drink so that it teareth their bowels?” (47:15) 00:04:24.100 --> 00:04:40.019 Like one who will abide eternally in the Fire and be given to drink scalding water that will sever their intestines? 00:04:41.230 --> 00:04:46.029 The description of the Paradise which those who feared the punishment of Allah in this world were promised. 00:04:46.430 --> 00:04:49.389 By performing His obligatory duties and avoiding His prohibitions. 00:04:50.209 --> 00:04:53.889 In it are rivers of water, the taste and smell of which do not change. 00:04:54.610 --> 00:04:57.649 “A similitude of the Garden which those who keep their duty (to Allah) are promised: Therein are rivers of water unpolluted, and rivers of milk whereof the flavour changeth not, and rivers of wine delicious to the drinkers, and rivers of clear-run honey; therein for them is every kind of fruit, with pardon from their Lord. (Are those who enjoy all this) like those who are immortal in the Fire and are given boiling water to drink so that it teareth their bowels?” (47:15) 00:04:58.129 --> 00:05:01.889 Because it was not milked from an animal, so its taste does not change. 00:05:02.529 --> 00:05:07.889 And in it are rivers of wine, a delight for the drinkers, who find pleasure in drinking it. 00:05:08.529 --> 00:05:12.449 And in it are rivers of honey that has been purified of all impurities. 00:05:13.170 --> 00:05:19.730 And for these righteous people in this Paradise are all kinds of fruits that grow on trees. 00:05:20.129 --> 00:05:23.009 And forgiveness from Allah for their sins. 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.920 Is he who is in this Paradise like him who will abide eternally in the Fire? 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:33.600 And those who will abide eternally in the Fire are given to drink water that has reached its boiling point. 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.240 So that water, due to its intense heat, severs their intestines. 00:05:39.810 --> 00:05:46.610 “Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.” (47:16) 00:05:46.610 --> 00:05:49.649 “Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.” (47:16) 00:05:50.129 --> 00:05:53.250 “Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.” (47:16) 00:05:53.569 --> 00:05:58.850 “Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.” (47:16) 00:05:59.329 --> 00:06:08.209 “Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.” (47:16) 00:06:09.649 --> 00:06:13.569 And among these disbelievers, O Muhammad, are those who listen to you. 00:06:13.730 --> 00:06:15.170 He is the hypocrite. 00:06:15.649 --> 00:06:19.170 He listens to what you say, but he does not comprehend or understand it. 00:06:19.490 --> 00:06:24.209 Out of negligence and disregard for what you recite to him from the Book of your Lord. 00:06:24.850 --> 00:06:27.009 “Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.” (47:16) 00:06:27.410 --> 00:06:31.970 They say to those who were present with them in your gathering from among the people of knowledge of the Book of Allah: 00:06:32.449 --> 00:06:35.250 "What did Muhammad say just now?" 00:06:35.810 --> 00:06:40.610 These are the ones upon whose hearts Allah has set a seal, and they have rejected the command of Allah. 00:06:40.930 --> 00:06:43.810 And followed what their own souls invited them to. 00:06:44.290 --> 00:06:49.250 So they do not return from what they are upon to any truth or proof. 00:06:58.459 --> 00:07:01.899 But as for those whom Allah has guided to follow the truth: 00:07:02.379 --> 00:07:06.220 Allah increases them in faith alongside their faith. 00:07:06.699 --> 00:07:10.220 And Allah grants these guided ones their piety. 00:07:13.069 --> 00:07:17.230 Except that the Hour will come upon them suddenly. 00:07:17.629 --> 00:07:21.629 For its signs have already appeared. 00:07:22.029 --> 00:07:28.509 So how will they be reminded when it comes to them? 00:07:29.470 --> 00:07:36.959 Do these deniers wait for anything except the Hour which Allah has promised His creation for their resurrection? 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.439 That it should come upon them suddenly, while they are unaware of its arrival? 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:48.240 For the Hour and its signs and precursors have already come to these disbelievers in Allah. 00:07:48.990 --> 00:07:54.910 So from what perspective will these deniers of Allah's signs have a reminder of what they have wasted? 00:07:55.629 --> 00:08:01.629 That is not a time when remembering and regret will benefit them; it is a time of recompense. 00:08:12.540 --> 00:08:18.220 So know, O Muhammad, that there is no deity worthy of or fit for divinity except Allah. 00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:22.540 And ask your Lord for forgiveness for your past and present sins. 00:08:23.660 --> 00:08:27.180 And for the sins of the believing men and women. 00:08:27.660 --> 00:08:32.460 For Allah knows your movements in whatever you are engaged in. 00:08:32.940 --> 00:08:36.299 And the knowledge of your Lord, and the knowledge of your Lord. 00:08:36.779 --> 00:08:39.980 And the knowledge of your Lord, and the knowledge of your Lord. 00:08:39.980 --> 00:08:44.539 For Allah knows your movements in whatever you are engaged in during your waking hours. 00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:49.340 And your resting place when you settle in your beds for sleep at night. 00:08:49.899 --> 00:08:52.620 Nothing of that is hidden from Him. 00:08:54.059 --> 00:08:58.779 “And those who believe say: If only a surah were revealed! But when a decisive surah is revealed and war is mentioned therein, thou seest those in whose hearts is a disease looking at thee with the look of men fainting unto death. Therefor woe unto them!” (47:20) 00:08:59.259 --> 00:09:06.700 “And those who believe say: If only a surah were revealed! But when a decisive surah is revealed and war is mentioned therein, thou seest those in whose hearts is a disease looking at thee with the look of men fainting unto death. Therefor woe unto them!” (47:20) 00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:13.179 “And those who believe say: If only a surah were revealed! But when a decisive surah is revealed and war is mentioned therein, thou seest those in whose hearts is a disease looking at thee with the look of men fainting unto death. Therefor woe unto them!” (47:20) 00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:22.860 “And those who believe say: If only a surah were revealed! But when a decisive surah is revealed and war is mentioned therein, thou seest those in whose hearts is a disease looking at thee with the look of men fainting unto death. Therefor woe unto them!” (47:20) 00:09:23.340 --> 00:09:25.340 So woe to them. 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.279 And those who believe in Allah and His Messenger say: 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:35.600 "Why has a surah not been sent down from Allah commanding us to wage jihad against the enemies of Allah from among the disbelievers?" 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:40.480 But when a surah is sent down, decisive in its clarity and obligations. 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.840 And in it is mentioned the command to fight the polytheists. 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:48.399 You see those in whose hearts is doubt regarding the religion of Allah and weakness. 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:53.759 Looking at you, O Muhammad, with the look of one fainting from the fear of death. 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.679 Fearing that you might send them out to battle and command them to perform jihad. 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:02.000 So woe to those in whose hearts is a disease. 00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:06.159 This is a threat with which Allah threatens them. 00:10:21.250 --> 00:10:25.490 Obedience and honorable speech before the obligation is imposed upon you. 00:10:26.129 --> 00:10:31.009 But when fighting becomes obligatory and the command of Allah comes to mandate it, you dislike it. 00:10:31.490 --> 00:10:35.889 If they had been truthful to Allah in what they promised before the surah regarding fighting was sent down. 00:10:36.210 --> 00:10:37.730 And fulfilled it for Him. 00:10:38.129 --> 00:10:42.450 It would have been better for them in the immediate life of this world and the delayed life of the Hereafter. 00:11:02.940 --> 00:11:06.860 So perhaps, O people, if you turn away from the revelation of Allah. 00:11:07.259 --> 00:11:08.940 You will commit corruption on earth. 00:11:09.259 --> 00:11:12.220 And disbelieve in Him and shed blood therein. 00:11:12.620 --> 00:11:14.539 And sever your ties of kinship. 00:11:15.019 --> 00:11:20.299 And return to what you were upon in your days of ignorance of fragmentation and division. 00:11:21.139 --> 00:11:23.539 These are the ones who do this. 00:11:23.860 --> 00:11:26.820 Allah has cursed them and distanced them from His mercy. 00:11:27.299 --> 00:11:31.860 And He has deprived them of understanding what they hear with their ears of the admonitions of Allah. 00:11:32.340 --> 00:11:33.860 And He has deprived them of their intellects. 00:11:34.179 --> 00:11:37.299 So they do not discern the proofs and signs of Allah. 00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:53.940 Do these hypocrites not reflect upon the admonitions of Allah in the verses of the Qur'an and ponder His proofs? 00:11:54.500 --> 00:11:56.740 Or has Allah locked their hearts? 00:11:57.059 --> 00:12:02.019 So they do not comprehend what Allah has sent down in His Book of admonitions and lessons. 00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:12.340 “Lo! those who turn back after the guidance hath been manifested unto them, Satan hath seduced them, and He giveth them the rein.” (47:25) 00:12:12.659 --> 00:12:19.700 “Lo! those who turn back after the guidance hath been manifested unto them, Satan hath seduced them, and He giveth them the rein.” (47:25) 00:12:21.250 --> 00:12:25.730 Indeed, those who turned back on their heels as disbelievers in Allah. 00:12:26.210 --> 00:12:29.730 “Many of the people of the Scripture long to make you disbelievers after your belief, through envy on their own account, after the truth hath become manifest unto them. Forgive and be indulgent (toward them) until Allah give command. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.” (2:109) 00:12:30.370 --> 00:12:34.129 Satan has made their apostasy attractive to them. 00:12:34.450 --> 00:12:37.330 And Allah has granted them respite in their life spans. 00:12:38.659 --> 00:12:48.019 “That is because they say unto those who hate what Allah hath revealed: We will obey you in some matters; and Allah knoweth their secret talk.” (47:26) 00:12:48.419 --> 00:12:51.299 And Allah knows their secrets. 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:55.039 Allah has given these hypocrites false hope. 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.279 And Satan has enticed them. 00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:03.840 Because they said to those who disliked what Allah sent down regarding the command to fight the people of polytheism: 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:11.519 "We will obey you in some of the matter," which is contrary to the command of Allah and the command of His Messenger, peace be upon him. 00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:17.519 And Allah knows the secrets of these two factions who are allied in hypocrisy. 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.759 Nothing of that or any other matter is hidden from Him. 00:13:23.580 --> 00:13:32.059 “Then how (will it be with them) when the angels gather them, smiting their faces and their backs!” (47:27) 00:13:32.299 --> 00:13:41.580 “That will be because they followed that which angereth Allah, and hated that which pleaseth Him. Therefor He hath made their actions vain.” (47:28) 00:13:43.230 --> 00:13:47.230 So how can He not know their state when the angels take their souls? 00:13:47.549 --> 00:13:50.429 While they strike their faces and their backs. 00:13:50.909 --> 00:13:54.669 Their state is also not hidden from Him at that time. 00:13:55.470 --> 00:13:59.230 The angels do that to these hypocrites. 00:13:59.710 --> 00:14:04.110 Because they followed what angers Allah, which is the obedience of Satan. 00:14:04.669 --> 00:14:08.509 And they disliked what pleases Him, which is fighting the people of disbelief in Him. 00:14:08.990 --> 00:14:12.350 So Allah has nullified the reward of their deeds and caused it to vanish. 00:14:23.629 --> 00:14:28.830 Do these hypocrites, in whose hearts is doubt regarding their religion, think? 00:14:29.309 --> 00:14:33.789 That Allah will not bring out the malice that is in their hearts against the believers? 00:14:34.269 --> 00:14:40.269 So He reveals it to them and makes it manifest until they recognize their hypocrisy and their confusion in their religion. 00:14:41.620 --> 00:14:49.059 “And if We would, We could show them unto thee (Muhammad) so that thou shouldst know them surely by their marks. And thou shalt know them by the burden of their talk. And Allah knoweth your deeds.” (47:30) 00:14:49.620 --> 00:14:55.220 “And if We would, We could show them unto thee (Muhammad) so that thou shouldst know them surely by their marks. And thou shalt know them by the burden of their talk. And Allah knoweth your deeds.” (47:30) 00:14:55.779 --> 00:14:58.659 And Allah knows your deeds. 00:15:00.100 --> 00:15:05.700 And if We willed, O Muhammad, We could show you these hypocrites so that you would know them. 00:15:06.340 --> 00:15:11.860 You would certainly recognize them by the signs of hypocrisy that appear in the content of their speech. 00:15:12.340 --> 00:15:16.419 And you would certainly recognize these hypocrites by the meaning of their words. 00:15:17.059 --> 00:15:19.139 And Allah knows your deeds. 00:15:19.620 --> 00:15:24.100 The one among you who acts in obedience to Him and the one who opposes that is not hidden from Him. 00:15:24.580 --> 00:15:27.139 And He will recompense all of you for them. 00:15:37.700 --> 00:15:44.909 And We will surely test you, O believers, with fighting and jihad against the enemies of Allah. 00:15:45.389 --> 00:15:49.950 Until We know those among you who are the party and allies of the people of jihad for the sake of Allah. 00:15:50.509 --> 00:15:52.909 And those who are patient in fighting His enemies. 00:15:53.549 --> 00:15:57.629 And He distinguishes those among you who have insight into their religion from those who have doubt. 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:23.360 “Lo! those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and oppose the messenger after the guidance hath been manifested unto them, they hurt Allah not a jot, and He will make their actions fruitless.” (47:32) 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:33.279 They will not harm Allah at all, and He will render their deeds worthless. 00:16:34.820 --> 00:16:37.059 Indeed, those who reject the oneness of Allah. 00:16:37.379 --> 00:16:40.820 And avert people from His religion with which He sent His Messenger. 00:16:41.220 --> 00:16:45.139 And oppose His Messenger, Muhammad, peace be upon him. 00:16:45.539 --> 00:16:50.340 And fight him and harm him after they knew that he was a sent prophet. 00:16:50.820 --> 00:16:52.820 They will not harm Allah at all. 00:16:53.299 --> 00:16:56.899 Because Allah will fulfill His command and grant victory to His Messenger. 00:16:57.539 --> 00:17:02.340 And He will cause their deeds to vanish, so they will not benefit them in this world or the Hereafter. 00:17:09.170 --> 00:17:11.170 Subscribe to the channel.
