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-Shammar
Surat Al-Shura
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
He prescribed for you religion what he commanded Noah
Which We have revealed to you
And what We have revealed to you and what We enjoined upon Abraham, Moses, and Jesus
Or uphold religion and do not become divided in it?
What you call them to do is difficult for the polytheists
God brings to Him whom He wills and guides to Him whomever turns
He has prescribed for you, O people, of religion what He commanded Noah to do
He has legislated for you the religion that We have revealed to you, O Muhammad, and so We have commanded you to do so
What We enjoined upon Abraham, Moses, and Jesus is one commandment, which is to establish religion
And do not differ in the religion that you have been commanded to follow
It is difficult for the polytheists to do what you call them to do in terms of sincerity in worshiping God and singling Him out for divinity
God chooses to Him whom He wills from among His creation
Whoever accepts obedience to Him will be granted success in working by obeying Him
And review repentance from his sins
They differed only over some of the knowledge that came to them out of envy among themselves
Had it not been for a word that had preceded from your Lord for a specified time, it would have been decided between them
And those who bequeathed the Book after them are in grave doubt about it
The polytheists do not differ in their religions
Except after knowledge came to them
That what God commanded them to do was to establish the true religion
Hatred and envy of each other
Had it not been for a previous saying, O Muhammad, from your Lord, He would not hasten their torment
But he delayed that for a specified period
Your Lord has finished judging between these different people
By destroying the people of falsehood among them
And show the people of truth over them
And those to whom God gave the Torah and the Gospel
There is doubt about religion
So pray
And do as you were commanded
Do not follow their desires
And say, “I believe in what God has revealed of the Book.”
And I was commanded to be fair among you
God is our Lord and your Lord
We have our deeds and you have your deeds
There is no argument between us and you
God brings us together and to Him is our destiny
So to that religion that was prescribed for you
So pray to the servants of God
And be consistent in working on it
O Muhammad, do not follow the desires of those who doubt the truth
And tell them
I believed in what God revealed of the Book
Whatever that book is
And my Lord has commanded me to be fair among you, community of parties
So I will walk among you all in the truth that He commanded me to do
God is our owner and your owner
We have the reward we gain from our deeds
And you will be rewarded for it
There is no dispute between us and you
May God bring us together on the Day of Resurrection
He will judge between us with the truth regarding what we disagreed about
And to Him is the return
And those who argue about God after He has responded to Him, their argument is invalid
Their argument is invalidated by their Lord, and there is wrath upon them, and for them is a severe punishment
And those who dispute about the religion of God after the people have responded to it
Their dispute is invalid and goes before their Lord
And upon them is the wrath of God
And for them in the Hereafter is a severe punishment
It is the torment of hellfire
It is God who sent down the Book with truth and balance
And you don't know, perhaps the Hour is near
Those who do not believe in it are protected by it
Those who believe are wary of it and know that it is the truth
Indeed, those who dispute about the Hour are far astray
It is God who sent down this Qur’an with the truth
He sent down justice to judge people fairly
They will be judged by the rule of God that He commanded in His Book
And anything can tell you, perhaps the hour in which the Resurrection will take place is near
O Muhammad, those who do not believe in its coming ask you to hasten its coming
Those who believed in its coming are afraid of its resurrection
Because they do not know what God will do to them
They believe that its coming is true and certain
Except for those who dispute and argue about the Day of Judgment
There is injustice in the path of guidance that is far from the truth
God is kind to His servants and provides for whomever He wills
He is the Strong, the Mighty
God is kind to His servants and provides for whomever He wills
He is strong and cannot be defeated by anyone due to his strength
It is not forbidden for him if he wants to punish him with his power
The Mighty One is in his revenge when he takes revenge on the people who sinned against him
Whoever wants a letter of the Hereafter, We will increase his letter for him
And whoever wants the slightest bit of this world, We will give him it
We will give him thereof, and he will have no share in the Hereafter
Whoever wants the Hereafter through his work, We will give him an increase in his good work
So we give him ten for one
Whoever wants this world by his work and seeks it, not the afterlife
We give him from it what We have apportioned for him from it
And there is no share for anyone who seeks the world by his work and God does not want it
Or do they have partners who have legislated for them part of the religion that God has not permitted?
Were it not for the final word, it would have been decided between them
Indeed, the wrongdoers will have a painful punishment
Or are these polytheists partners with God?
They created for themselves religion that which God had not permitted for them
Had it not been for God’s precedence that He would not hasten their torment in this world
He has finished judging between you and them by hastening their punishment in this world
And those who disbelieve in God will have a painful punishment on the Day of Resurrection
You see the wrongdoers fearing what they have earned, and it is happening to them
And those who believe and do righteous deeds will be in the gardens of Paradise
They have whatever they want with their Lord
That is a great credit
You will see, O Muhammad, those who disbelieve in God on the Day of Resurrection, and will be completely afraid of God’s punishment
For what they earned in this world from their evil deeds
And what they are afraid of is the punishment of God that will descend upon them and they will inevitably taste it
And those who believe in God and obey Him in what He commands and prohibits
In garden gardens with many plants
They have whatever their souls desire and their eyes delight
That is the great victory that favors all bliss
That is what God gives good news to His servants who believe and do righteous deeds
Say, “I do not ask you for any reward except affection for your relatives.”
Whoever commits a good deed, We will increase his good deed
God is Forgiving and Thankful
This is the bliss and dignity I told you about
The skin that God gives good tidings to His servants who believe in Him in this world
And they acted obediently to Him in it
Say, O Muhammad, I do not ask you, O people, for what I call you to of the truth in exchange for your wealth
Say, “I do not ask you for any reward for it, O people of Quraysh.”
Unless you want me to be close to you and maintain the ties between me and you
Whoever does a good deed, We will multiply that good deed
So we give him ten in place of one
God is Forgiving of the sins of His servants
Thankful for their good deeds and obedience to Him
Or do they say he has fabricated a lie against God?
If God wills, He will seal your heart
God erases falsehood and establishes truth with His words
He is All-Knowing of the breasts
Or do these polytheists say?
Muhammad fabricated a lie against God
Then he brought this which he recited to us, fabricated by himself
If God wills, O Muhammad, He will seal your heart
So you forget this Qur’an that was revealed to you
God removes falsehood and destroys it
The truth is confirmed by His words that He revealed to you, O Muhammad, and He confirms it
God has knowledge of what is in the breasts of His creation
Nothing of their affairs is hidden from him
It is He who accepts repentance from His servants
He pardons bad deeds
And He knows what you are doing
It is God who accepts the servant’s review if he returns to the monotheism of God
He pardons and punishes him for his bad deeds
And your Lord knows, O people, what good and evil you do
He will reward you for all of that
He responds to those who believe and do righteous deeds, and He increases them from His bounty
And the disbelievers will suffer a severe punishment
God answers those who believe in God and His Messenger
They did what God commanded them to do
Praying for each other
And He increases those who believe and do righteous deeds of His grace
By giving them what they did not ask for
And those who disbelieve in God will have a severe punishment on the Day of Resurrection
