Thus Allah maketh clear His revelations unto you, that haply ye may be guided,” (3:103) 00:08:48.629 --> 00:08:52.399 And hold fast to the ties of Allah, all together, 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.399 and adhere firmly to the religion of Allah which He commanded you to follow; 00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:02.399 and do not divide yourselves away from Allah's religion and His covenant that He pledged to you in His Book, 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.399 which requires affection and unity. 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.399 Remember, O believers, the favor of Allah upon you, 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.399 when you were enemies, killing one another, 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.399 so Allah united your hearts through Islam, 00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:21.399 and through Allah's uniting of you, you became truly loving brothers, 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.399 harboring neither malice nor mutual envy. 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.399 And you, O assembly of believers, were upon the very edge of the pit of Hellfire, 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.399 on account of the disbelief you were upon, 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.399 but Allah saved you from it through faith. 00:09:36.490 --> 00:09:41.490 Just as your Lord has clarified for you what He commanded and what He forbade, 00:09:42.490 --> 00:09:45.490 and the state you were once in compared to what you have now become, 00:09:46.490 --> 00:09:50.490 He likewise clarifies all His proofs for you in His revelation, 00:09:51.490 --> 00:09:53.490 so that you may be guided to the path of rectitude. 00:09:55.039 --> 00:10:02.039 “And there may spring from you a nation who invite to goodness, and enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency. Such are they who are successful.” (3:104) 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.039 “And there may spring from you a nation who invite to goodness, and enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency. Such are they who are successful.” (3:104) 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:10.039 "and forbidding what is wrong; 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.039 and it is they who are the successful." 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:24.769 And let there be among you, O believers, a community that calls the people to Islam and its laws that Allah ordained for His servants, 00:10:25.769 --> 00:10:29.769 commanding the people to follow Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:10:30.769 --> 00:10:33.769 and his religion that he brought from Allah, 00:10:34.769 --> 00:10:37.769 and forbidding disbelief in Allah and the denial of Muhammad; 00:10:38.769 --> 00:10:44.769 and it is they who are the triumphant with Allah, abiding forever in His gardens and bliss. 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:54.960 “And be ye not as those who separated and disputed after the clear proofs had come unto them. For such there is an awful doom,” (3:105) 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.960 “And be ye not as those who separated and disputed after the clear proofs had come unto them. For such there is an awful doom,” (3:105) 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:07.700 And do not be, O assembly of believers, like those among the People of the Book who divided, 00:11:08.700 --> 00:11:11.700 and differed concerning the religion of Allah, His commands, and His prohibitions, 00:11:11.700 --> 00:11:16.700 after clear proofs had come to them from Allah's evidences and the knowledge of the truth therein; 00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:20.700 so they deliberately opposed it and violated His covenant and pledge. 00:11:21.700 --> 00:11:25.700 And for those, there is a tremendous punishment from Allah. 00:11:27.019 --> 00:11:32.019 “On the Day when (some) faces will be whitened and (some) faces will be blackened; and as for those whose faces have been blackened, it will be said unto them: Disbelieved ye after your (profession of) belief? Then taste the punishment for that ye disbelieved.” (3:106) 00:11:33.019 --> 00:11:41.019 As for those whose faces turn black: "Did you disbelieve after your belief?" 00:11:42.019 --> 00:11:50.019 “On the Day when (some) faces will be whitened and (some) faces will be blackened; and as for those whose faces have been blackened, it will be said unto them: Disbelieved ye after your (profession of) belief? Then taste the punishment for that ye disbelieved.” (3:106) 00:11:51.019 --> 00:12:02.019 “And as for those whose faces have been whitened, in the mercy of Allah they dwell for ever.” (3:107) 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:10.600 For those, there is a tremendous punishment on a Day when some faces turn white and other faces turn black. 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:17.629 As for those whose faces turn black, it will be said to them: "Did you reject Allah's oneness and His covenant 00:12:18.629 --> 00:12:22.629 and His pledge that you solemnly affirmed, after you had believed in it? 00:12:23.629 --> 00:12:29.629 So taste the punishment for what you used to deny in the worldly life of the covenant Allah had taken from you." 00:12:30.629 --> 00:12:36.690 But as for those whose faces turn white, among those who remained steadfast upon Allah's covenant and never altered His religion, 00:12:36.690 --> 00:12:41.690 they will be in Allah's garden, abiding therein eternally. 00:12:42.690 --> 00:12:52.980 “These are revelations of Allah. We recite them unto thee in truth. Allah willeth no injustice to (His) creatures.” (3:108) 00:12:53.980 --> 00:13:01.330 These are the admonitions of Allah, His lessons, and His proofs which We recite to you and narrate with truth and certainty. 00:13:02.330 --> 00:13:14.330 And Allah, O Muhammad, in blackening the faces of these and whitening the faces of those, never intends to place anything where it does not belong. 00:13:15.649 --> 00:13:23.649 “Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; and unto Allah all things are returned.” (3:109) 00:13:24.649 --> 00:13:34.259 And to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth, and to Allah is the ultimate return of all His creation—the righteous and the wicked; 00:13:35.259 --> 00:13:42.259 so He will recompense each according to what they rightfully deserve from Him, without wronging anyone in the least. 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:51.679 “Ye are the best community that hath been raised up for mankind. Ye enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency; and ye believe in Allah. And if the People of the Scripture had believed it had been better for them. Some of them are believers; but most of them are evil-livers.” (3:110) 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:59.679 “Ye are the best community that hath been raised up for mankind. Ye enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency; and ye believe in Allah. And if the People of the Scripture had believed it had been better for them. Some of them are believers; but most of them are evil-livers.” (3:110) 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:10.679 “Ye are the best community that hath been raised up for mankind. Ye enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency; and ye believe in Allah. And if the People of the Scripture had believed it had been better for them. Some of them are believers; but most of them are evil-livers.” (3:110) 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:16.220 You are the best of communities that have passed and brought forth for mankind: 00:14:17.220 --> 00:14:22.220 you enjoin faith in Allah and His Messenger, and acting in accordance with His laws; 00:14:23.220 --> 00:14:26.220 and you forbid associating partners with Allah and practicing what He forbade; 00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:31.220 and you believe in Allah, devoting monotheism and worship sincerely to Him. 00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:38.220 And had the people of the Torah and the Gospel among the Jews and Christians believed in Muhammad, peace be upon him, 00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:44.220 it would surely have been better for them with Allah in their immediate worldly life and their ultimate Hereafter. 00:14:45.250 --> 00:14:51.250 Among the Jews and Christians are the believers who affirmed the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:14:52.250 --> 00:14:55.250 and followed what he brought them from Allah, 00:14:56.250 --> 00:14:59.250 while most of them have transgressed beyond following what is in the Torah and the Gospel, 00:15:00.250 --> 00:15:05.250 since both scriptures contain the description and character of Muhammad, peace be upon him. 00:15:06.250 --> 00:15:19.480 “They will not harm you save a trifling hurt, and if they fight against you they will turn and flee. And afterward they will not be helped.” (3:111) 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:28.019 These transgressive renegades from the People of the Book will never harm you, O people of faith, through their disbelief and rejection, 00:15:29.019 --> 00:15:33.019 though they will cause you annoyance through their polytheism and making you hear their disbelief; 00:15:33.019 --> 00:15:39.019 yet they will not harm you thereby, and if the People of the Book fight you, they will be defeated by you, 00:15:40.019 --> 00:15:45.019 turning their backs in flight, and then Allah will not grant them victory over you. 00:15:46.309 --> 00:15:54.309 “Ignominy shall be their portion wheresoever they are found save (where they grasp) a rope from Allah and a rope from men. They have incurred anger from their Lord, and wretchedness is laid upon them. That is because they used to disbelieve the revelations of Allah, and slew the prophets wrongfully. That is because they were rebellious and used to transgress.” (3:112) 00:15:55.309 --> 00:16:02.309 “Ignominy shall be their portion wheresoever they are found save (where they grasp) a rope from Allah and a rope from men. They have incurred anger from their Lord, and wretchedness is laid upon them. That is because they used to disbelieve the revelations of Allah, and slew the prophets wrongfully. That is because they were rebellious and used to transgress.” (3:112) 00:16:03.309 --> 00:16:10.600 “Ignominy shall be their portion wheresoever they are found save (where they grasp) a rope from Allah and a rope from men. They have incurred anger from their Lord, and wretchedness is laid upon them. That is because they used to disbelieve the revelations of Allah, and slew the prophets wrongfully. That is because they were rebellious and used to transgress.” (3:112) 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:26.600 “Ignominy shall be their portion wheresoever they are found save (where they grasp) a rope from Allah and a rope from men. They have incurred anger from their Lord, and wretchedness is laid upon them. That is because they used to disbelieve the revelations of Allah, and slew the prophets wrongfully. That is because they were rebellious and used to transgress.” (3:112) 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:31.600 That was because they persistently disobeyed and used to transgress. 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:39.240 Ignominy was struck upon them wherever they were found, except under a covenant from Allah and a treaty from the people; 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:43.240 and they drew upon themselves the wrath of Allah, bearing it, 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:47.240 and they were overwhelmed with the humiliation of destitution and the abasement of poverty, 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:53.240 in retribution for having rejected Allah's signs, proofs, and evidences, 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:58.240 and for killing His prophets unjustly, out of oppression and transgression. 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:07.240 We inflicted that upon them because of their disbelief, their slaying of the prophets, their disobedience to their Lord, and their transgression against their Lord's command. 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:14.190 Summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
