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 00:00:13.980 --> 00:00:16.140 Surat Al-Shura 00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:22.539 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.410 --> 00:00:28.449 He prescribed for you religion what he commanded Noah 00:00:28.449 --> 00:00:31.809 Which We have revealed to you 00:00:32.130 --> 00:00:40.090 And what We have revealed to you and what We enjoined upon Abraham, Moses, and Jesus 00:00:40.450 --> 00:00:45.210 Or uphold religion and do not become divided in it? 00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:50.409 What you call them to do is difficult for the polytheists 00:00:50.770 --> 00:01:00.090 God brings to Him whom He wills and guides to Him whomever turns 00:01:00.409 --> 00:01:06.549 He has prescribed for you, O people, of religion what He commanded Noah to do 00:01:06.870 --> 00:01:12.829 He has legislated for you the religion that We have revealed to you, O Muhammad, and so We have commanded you to do so 00:01:13.189 --> 00:01:20.510 What We enjoined upon Abraham, Moses, and Jesus is one commandment, which is to establish religion 00:01:20.750 --> 00:01:24.709 And do not differ in the religion that you have been commanded to follow 00:01:25.150 --> 00:01:32.790 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 00:01:33.349 --> 00:01:36.750 God chooses to Him whom He wills from among His creation 00:01:37.109 --> 00:01:41.310 Whoever accepts obedience to Him will be granted success in working by obeying Him 00:01:41.670 --> 00:01:43.950 And review repentance from his sins 00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:53.379 They differed only over some of the knowledge that came to them out of envy among themselves 00:01:53.819 --> 00:02:02.219 Had it not been for a word that had preceded from your Lord for a specified time, it would have been decided between them 00:02:02.659 --> 00:02:11.340 And those who bequeathed the Book after them are in grave doubt about it 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.479 The polytheists do not differ in their religions 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.439 Except after knowledge came to them 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.479 That what God commanded them to do was to establish the true religion 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.039 Hatred and envy of each other 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:33.639 Had it not been for a previous saying, O Muhammad, from your Lord, He would not hasten their torment 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.759 But he delayed that for a specified period 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.240 Your Lord has finished judging between these different people 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.080 By destroying the people of falsehood among them 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.039 And show the people of truth over them 00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.280 And those to whom God gave the Torah and the Gospel 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.840 There is doubt about religion 00:02:56.620 --> 00:02:58.379 Therefore, pray 00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:01.219 And do as you were commanded 00:03:01.740 --> 00:03:05.340 Do not follow their desires 00:03:05.900 --> 00:03:12.379 And say, “I believe in what God has revealed of the Book.” 00:03:12.939 --> 00:03:15.500 And I was commanded to be fair among you 00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:18.860 God is our Lord and your Lord 00:03:19.340 --> 00:03:23.259 We have our deeds and you have your deeds 00:03:23.780 --> 00:03:26.780 There is no argument between us and you 00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:32.900 God brings us together and to Him is our destiny 00:03:34.580 --> 00:03:37.419 So to that religion that was prescribed for you 00:03:37.659 --> 00:03:38.979 So pray to the servants of God 00:03:39.539 --> 00:03:41.219 And be consistent in working on it 00:03:41.740 --> 00:03:45.900 O Muhammad, do not follow the desires of those who doubt the truth 00:03:46.460 --> 00:03:47.580 And tell them 00:03:48.060 --> 00:03:50.900 I believed in what God revealed of the Book 00:03:51.259 --> 00:03:53.860 Whatever that book is 00:03:54.419 --> 00:03:58.419 And my Lord has commanded me to be fair among you, community of parties 00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:02.819 So I will walk among you all in the truth that He commanded me to do 00:04:03.379 --> 00:04:05.900 God is our owner and your owner 00:04:06.419 --> 00:04:09.340 We have the reward we gain from our deeds 00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:12.500 And you will be rewarded for it 00:04:13.180 --> 00:04:15.620 There is no dispute between us and you 00:04:16.180 --> 00:04:18.980 May God bring us together on the Day of Resurrection 00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:23.019 He will judge between us with the truth regarding what we disagreed about 00:04:23.420 --> 00:04:25.019 And to Him is the return 00:04:26.769 --> 00:04:36.050 And those who argue about God after He has responded to Him, their argument is invalid 00:04:36.529 --> 00:04:46.050 Their argument is invalidated by their Lord, and there is wrath upon them, and for them is a severe punishment 00:04:47.420 --> 00:04:52.420 And those who dispute about the religion of God after the people have responded to it 00:04:52.779 --> 00:04:56.540 Their dispute is invalid and goes before their Lord 00:04:57.139 --> 00:04:59.100 And upon them is the wrath of God 00:04:59.699 --> 00:05:02.379 And for them in the Hereafter is a severe punishment 00:05:02.779 --> 00:05:04.379 It is the torment of hellfire 00:05:05.730 --> 00:05:11.889 It is God who sent down the Book with truth and balance 00:05:12.410 --> 00:05:17.009 And you don't know, perhaps the Hour is near 00:05:17.529 --> 00:05:21.769 Those who do not believe in it are protected by it 00:05:22.209 --> 00:05:29.410 Those who believe are wary of it and know that it is the truth 00:05:29.930 --> 00:05:37.490 Indeed, those who dispute about the Hour are far astray 00:05:39.089 --> 00:05:42.329 It is God who sent down this Qur’an with the truth 00:05:42.889 --> 00:05:46.610 He sent down justice to judge people fairly 00:05:47.129 --> 00:05:51.290 They will be judged by the rule of God that He commanded in His Book 00:05:51.850 --> 00:05:57.569 And anything can tell you, perhaps the hour in which the Resurrection will take place is near 00:05:58.209 --> 00:06:03.410 O Muhammad, those who do not believe in its coming ask you to hasten its coming 00:06:03.970 --> 00:06:08.170 Those who believed in its coming are afraid of its resurrection 00:06:08.649 --> 00:06:11.730 Because they do not know what God will do to them 00:06:12.290 --> 00:06:15.610 They believe that its coming is true and certain 00:06:16.329 --> 00:06:21.129 Except for those who dispute and argue about the Day of Judgment 00:06:21.769 --> 00:06:25.649 There is injustice in the path of guidance that is far from the truth 00:06:27.170 --> 00:06:34.329 God is kind to His servants and provides for whomever He wills 00:06:34.889 --> 00:06:38.009 He is the Strong, the Mighty 00:06:39.709 --> 00:06:43.670 God is kind to His servants and provides for whomever He wills 00:06:44.149 --> 00:06:48.430 He is strong and cannot be defeated by anyone due to his strength 00:06:48.949 --> 00:06:52.910 It is not forbidden for him if he wants to punish him with his power 00:06:53.509 --> 00:06:57.509 The Mighty One is in his revenge when he takes revenge on the people who sinned against him 00:06:59.060 --> 00:07:04.779 Whoever wants a letter of the Hereafter, We will increase his letter for him 00:07:05.339 --> 00:07:10.459 And whoever wants the slightest bit of this world, We will give him it 00:07:11.019 --> 00:07:17.660 We will give him thereof, and he will have no share in the Hereafter 00:07:19.220 --> 00:07:24.220 Whoever wants the Hereafter through his work, We will give him an increase in his good work 00:07:24.699 --> 00:07:27.259 So we give him ten for one 00:07:27.899 --> 00:07:32.500 Whoever wants this world by his work and seeks it, not the afterlife 00:07:33.100 --> 00:07:36.060 We give him from it what We have apportioned for him from it 00:07:36.579 --> 00:07:40.779 And there is no share for anyone who seeks the world by his work and God does not want it 00:07:42.579 --> 00:07:51.139 Or do they have partners who have legislated for them part of the religion that God has not permitted? 00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:55.500 Were it not for the final word, it would have been decided between them 00:07:56.019 --> 00:08:01.740 Indeed, the wrongdoers will have a painful punishment 00:08:03.310 --> 00:08:06.389 Or are these polytheists partners with God? 00:08:06.389 --> 00:08:10.069 They created for themselves religion that which God had not permitted for them 00:08:10.670 --> 00:08:15.870 Had it not been for God’s precedence that He would not hasten their torment in this world 00:08:16.269 --> 00:08:21.870 He has finished judging between you and them by hastening their punishment in this world 00:08:22.670 --> 00:08:27.470 And those who disbelieve in God will have a painful punishment on the Day of Resurrection 00:08:29.170 --> 00:08:35.850 You see the wrongdoers fearing what they have earned, and it is happening to them 00:08:36.250 --> 00:08:43.850 And those who believe and do righteous deeds will be in the gardens of Paradise 00:08:44.450 --> 00:08:50.250 They have whatever they want with their Lord 00:08:50.850 --> 00:08:54.049 That is a great credit 00:08:55.710 --> 00:09:02.110 You will see, O Muhammad, those who disbelieve in God on the Day of Resurrection, and will be completely afraid of God’s punishment 00:09:02.710 --> 00:09:06.309 For what they earned in this world from their evil deeds 00:09:07.110 --> 00:09:14.110 And what they are afraid of is the punishment of God that will descend upon them and they will inevitably taste it 00:09:14.740 --> 00:09:19.139 And those who believe in God and obey Him in what He commands and prohibits 00:09:19.539 --> 00:09:22.740 In garden gardens with many plants 00:09:23.139 --> 00:09:27.139 They have whatever their souls desire and their eyes delight 00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:32.539 That is the great victory that favors all bliss 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:42.200 That is what God gives good news to His servants who believe and do righteous deeds 00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:48.600 Say, “I do not ask you for any reward except affection for your relatives.” 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:55.200 Whoever commits a good deed, We will increase his good deed 00:09:55.600 --> 00:10:00.799 God is Forgiving and Thankful 00:10:02.230 --> 00:10:05.830 This is the bliss and dignity I told you about 00:10:06.230 --> 00:10:11.429 The skin that God gives good tidings to His servants who believe in Him in this world 00:10:11.830 --> 00:10:14.230 And they acted obediently to Him in it 00:10:14.830 --> 00:10:22.830 Say, O Muhammad, I do not ask you, O people, for what I call you to of the truth in exchange for your wealth 00:10:23.429 --> 00:10:27.029 Say, “I do not ask you for any reward for it, O people of Quraysh.” 00:10:27.429 --> 00:10:34.029 Unless you want me to be close to you and maintain the ties between me and you 00:10:34.629 --> 00:10:38.629 Whoever does a good deed, We will multiply that good deed 00:10:39.230 --> 00:10:42.029 So we give him ten in place of one 00:10:42.860 --> 00:10:45.460 God is Forgiving of the sins of His servants 00:10:45.860 --> 00:10:49.259 Thankful for their good deeds and obedience to Him 00:10:50.659 --> 00:10:54.860 Or do they say he has fabricated a lie against God? 00:10:55.460 --> 00:11:00.059 If God wills, He will seal your heart 00:11:00.659 --> 00:11:05.860 God erases falsehood and establishes truth with His words 00:11:06.460 --> 00:11:12.259 He is All-Knowing of the breasts 00:11:13.769 --> 00:11:16.570 Or do these polytheists say? 00:11:17.169 --> 00:11:19.769 Muhammad fabricated a lie against God 00:11:20.370 --> 00:11:24.970 Then he brought this which he recited to us, fabricated by himself 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:29.600 If God wills, O Muhammad, He will seal your heart 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.200 So you forget this Qur’an that was revealed to you 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.600 God removes falsehood and destroys it 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:42.399 The truth is confirmed by His words that He revealed to you, O Muhammad, and He confirms it 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.399 God has knowledge of what is in the breasts of His creation 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.799 Nothing of their affairs is hidden from him 00:11:51.460 --> 00:11:55.259 It is He who accepts repentance from His servants 00:11:55.460 --> 00:12:01.259 He pardons bad deeds 00:12:01.460 --> 00:12:04.659 And He knows what you are doing 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:11.120 It is God who accepts the servant’s review if he returns to the monotheism of God 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.320 He pardons and punishes him for his bad deeds 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.720 And your Lord knows, O people, what good and evil you do 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.919 He will reward you for all of that 00:12:25.740 --> 00:12:33.940 He responds to those who believe and do righteous deeds, and He increases them from His bounty 00:12:34.539 --> 00:12:39.940 And the disbelievers will suffer a severe punishment 00:12:41.629 --> 00:12:45.230 God answers those who believe in God and His Messenger 00:12:45.830 --> 00:12:48.230 They did what God commanded them to do 00:12:48.629 --> 00:12:50.429 Praying for each other 00:12:51.230 --> 00:12:55.029 And He increases those who believe and do righteous deeds of His grace 00:12:55.429 --> 00:12:57.629 By giving them what they did not ask for 00:12:58.230 --> 00:13:02.830 And those who disbelieve in God will have a severe punishment on the Day of Resurrection
