WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.160 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.169 --> 00:00:08.050 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:12.779 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammar 00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:16.079 Surat Al-Zumar 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:23.120 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.910 --> 00:00:30.309 If harm befalls a person, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him 00:00:30.309 --> 00:00:34.630 Then, if He grants him a blessing from Him 00:00:34.929 --> 00:00:39.490 Then, if He grants him a blessing from Him 00:00:39.490 --> 00:00:43.689 He forgot what he was praying for before 00:00:44.130 --> 00:00:48.369 He forgot what he was praying for before 00:00:48.369 --> 00:00:54.369 And He gave God equals to stray from His path 00:00:54.810 --> 00:01:02.689 Say, “Enjoy your disbelief for a little while, for you are among the inmates of Hell.” 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:08.040 If a person is affected by a calamity in his body, such as a disease 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.239 He sought help from his Lord because of the severity of this 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.959 Repenting to Him of the disbelief in Him that occurred before 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.159 Then if his Lord grants him well-being 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.159 So his harm was revealed to him 00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:27.400 He abandoned his supplication, which he had previously called upon God to reveal the harm that was afflicting him 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.599 And He gave God examples and similarities 00:01:30.859 --> 00:01:33.859 To remove those who wanted to unite God 00:01:33.859 --> 00:01:36.859 Say, O Muhammad, to the one who did that 00:01:36.859 --> 00:01:41.859 Enjoy your disbelief in God for a little while until you fulfill your deadline 00:01:41.859 --> 00:01:45.599 You are one of the people of Hell staying there 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.099 This is a threat from God 00:01:50.030 --> 00:01:59.530 Is he despondent at night, prostrating and standing? 00:01:59.530 --> 00:02:07.530 Prostrating and standing, he warns of the afterlife and hopes for the mercy of his Lord 00:02:07.530 --> 00:02:14.530 Say: Are those who know and those who do not know equal? 00:02:14.530 --> 00:02:19.979 Only people of understanding remember 00:02:21.939 --> 00:02:24.939 Is he despondent at night? 00:02:24.939 --> 00:02:27.939 Prostrating at one time and standing at one time 00:02:27.939 --> 00:02:29.939 He warns of the torment of the afterlife 00:02:29.939 --> 00:02:33.939 He hopes that God will have mercy on him and admit him to Paradise 00:02:33.939 --> 00:02:38.939 Are those who know equal the reward they have in their obedience to their Lord? 00:02:38.939 --> 00:02:42.939 And there are no consequences for their disobedience 00:02:42.939 --> 00:02:45.969 And those who don't know that 00:02:45.969 --> 00:02:48.969 Rather, he considers the arguments of God and becomes disgraced 00:02:48.969 --> 00:02:52.969 The people of reason and reasoning ponder it 00:02:52.969 --> 00:02:58.960 Say, O servants of those who believe, fear your Lord 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:03.960 For those who do good in this world is good 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.960 God's earth is vast 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:15.960 Only those who are patient will be given their reward without reckoning 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.889 Say, Muhammad 00:03:18.889 --> 00:03:22.889 O My servants who believe in God and believe in His Messenger 00:03:22.889 --> 00:03:27.889 Fear your Lord by obeying Him and protect us from disobeying Him 00:03:27.889 --> 00:03:31.889 For those who obey God there is good in this world 00:03:31.889 --> 00:03:33.889 Health and wellness 00:03:33.889 --> 00:03:36.889 And it was said: Paradise 00:03:36.889 --> 00:03:39.889 God's earth is spacious and vast 00:03:39.889 --> 00:03:43.889 So they migrated from the land of polytheism to the land of Islam 00:03:43.889 --> 00:03:48.889 God only gives people patience for what they face in this world 00:03:48.889 --> 00:03:51.889 Their reward in the afterlife without reckoning 00:03:51.889 --> 00:04:00.949 Say, “I have been commanded to worship God, making my religion sincere to Him.” 00:04:00.949 --> 00:04:05.949 I was ordered to be the first of the Muslims 00:04:05.949 --> 00:04:13.949 Say, “I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the punishment of a great day.” 00:04:13.949 --> 00:04:18.949 Say, “I worship God, sincerely, He has my religion.” 00:04:18.949 --> 00:04:23.000 Say, O Muhammad, to the polytheists of your people 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.000 God commanded me to worship Him alone and obey Him alone 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.129 I worship Him most sincerely 00:04:30.129 --> 00:04:32.129 Tell them, O Muhammad 00:04:32.129 --> 00:04:39.129 I fear, if I disobey my Lord in what He has commanded me to do of worshiping Him, the punishment of the Day of Resurrection 00:04:39.129 --> 00:04:42.160 Say, O Muhammad, to the polytheists of your people 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:47.160 I worship God as a single Savior who has my obedience and worship 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.160 I do not make him a partner in that 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:56.029 So worship whatever you want besides Him 00:04:56.029 --> 00:05:05.029 Say: The losers are those who lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection 00:05:05.029 --> 00:05:10.029 Except that is the clear loss 00:05:10.029 --> 00:05:15.120 So, you people, worship whatever idols you want 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.120 And other than what you worship 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:24.120 You will know the consequences of your worship when you meet your Lord 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.209 Tell them, O Muhammad 00:05:26.209 --> 00:05:32.209 Indeed, the perishers who were destroyed by the punishment of God, their family with their own souls 00:05:32.209 --> 00:05:37.209 Except that these polytheists will lose on the Day of Resurrection 00:05:37.209 --> 00:05:43.209 It is the destruction that makes clear to those who see it and know that it is loss 00:05:43.209 --> 00:05:51.949 They will have shades of fire above them and shades below them 00:05:51.949 --> 00:05:56.949 This causes God to fear His servants 00:05:56.949 --> 00:06:02.680 O servants, fear! 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.680 For those losers on the Day of Resurrection in Hell 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.680 Above them are shades of fire 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.680 Like the form of shadows built of fire 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:17.680 And beneath them of the Fire is what is above them until it becomes a shadow 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:24.680 This is what I told you, O people, about the punishment for the losers on the Day of Resurrection 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:30.680 A fear from your Lord towards you so that you may beware of Him and avoid disobeying Him 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:36.740 So fear Me by performing My duties upon you and avoiding sins 00:06:36.740 --> 00:06:41.740 And those who avoid the taghut should worship it 00:06:41.740 --> 00:06:45.740 And they turned to God for their humans 00:06:45.740 --> 00:06:49.740 So give good news to servants 00:06:49.740 --> 00:06:54.740 Those who listen to what is said and follow the best of it 00:06:54.740 --> 00:07:00.740 Those whom God has guided 00:07:00.740 --> 00:07:06.740 And those are people of understanding 00:07:06.740 --> 00:07:12.600 And those who avoid worshiping everything that is worshiped other than God 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:18.600 They repented to God and returned to acknowledging His monotheism and acting in obedience to Him 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:22.600 They have humans in this world and paradise in the afterlife 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:28.600 So give good news, O Muhammad, to the servants of those who listen to the word and follow its guidance 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:33.600 Those who listen to what is said and follow the best of it 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:38.600 They are the ones whom God has guided to guidance and to do what is right 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:43.310 These are the people of reason and wisdom 00:07:43.310 --> 00:07:52.980 Whoever is subject to the word of torment, will you save those who are in Hell? 00:07:52.980 --> 00:07:59.980 Is he the one for whom the word of torment was imposed before your Lord knew, O Muhammad, of his disbelief in it? 00:07:59.980 --> 00:08:05.980 Will you, O Muhammad, save the one who is in Hell from the one upon whom the word of torment is due? 00:08:05.980 --> 00:08:07.980 You save him 00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:15.560 But those who fear their Lord will have chambers above it 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:26.560 Built rooms with rivers running underneath them 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:35.259 God promised, God does not fail to promise 00:08:35.259 --> 00:08:41.259 But those who fear their Lord by performing His duties and avoiding His prohibitions 00:08:41.259 --> 00:08:48.259 They will have rooms in Paradise, above which are rooms built on top of each other 00:08:48.259 --> 00:08:52.259 Rivers flow from beneath the trees of its paradise 00:08:52.259 --> 00:08:56.259 We promised these rooms to these pious people 00:08:56.259 --> 00:09:00.320 God does not break His promise to them 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:13.320 Have you not seen that God sent down water from the sky and caused it to spring into springs on earth? 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:19.320 Then he produces crops of different colors 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:31.320 Then it becomes agitated and you see it turn yellow, then it turns it into debris 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:38.320 Indeed, in that is a reminder for those of understanding 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:44.210 Did you not see, O Muhammad, that God sent down rain from the sky? 00:09:44.210 --> 00:09:47.210 So he made eyes on the earth 00:09:47.210 --> 00:09:51.210 Then he grew different types of plants with that water 00:09:51.210 --> 00:09:55.210 Among wheat, barley, sesame and rice 00:09:55.210 --> 00:10:01.210 Then that plant withers after its greenness, and you see it as yellow 00:10:01.210 --> 00:10:07.210 Then he makes that planting, after it has become dry, young and broken 00:10:07.210 --> 00:10:13.210 God's doing this is a reminder and a warning for rational people to remember Him 00:10:13.210 --> 00:10:16.210 They know who did it 00:10:16.210 --> 00:10:20.210 It will not be impossible for him to cause whatever things he wants 00:10:20.210 --> 00:10:26.399 Is it someone whose heart God has opened to Islam? 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.399 He is on the light of his Lord 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:37.399 Woe to those whose hearts are hardened at the remembrance of God 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:43.399 Those are in clear error 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.039 Is he who God has opened his heart to know? 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.039 He has insight and certainty 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.039 As if God had hardened his heart 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:57.039 He is unable to listen to the truth and do what is right 00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:01.039 So woe to those whose hearts have dried up from the Qur’an 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:04.039 Who sent it down as a reminder to His servants 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:12.039 These people have hard hearts and are in clear error to those who contemplate it and contemplate it 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:18.870 God sent down the best hadith as a similar book 00:11:18.870 --> 00:11:26.870 It causes goosebumps on the skins of those who fear their Lord 00:11:26.870 --> 00:11:38.870 Then their skins and hearts soften to the remembrance of God 00:11:38.870 --> 00:11:44.870 That is God’s guidance, with which He guides whom He wills 00:11:44.870 --> 00:11:49.870 Whoever God leads astray, he has no guide 00:11:51.700 --> 00:11:55.700 God revealed the Qur’an, some of which resemble each other 00:11:55.700 --> 00:11:58.700 There is no difference or contradiction in it 00:11:58.700 --> 00:12:04.700 It includes information, reports, judgments, rulings, and arguments 00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:08.700 Hearing it makes the skin of those who fear their Lord shudder 00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:15.700 Then their skins and hearts will soften to act according to the Book of God and believe in it 00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:18.700 This is what afflicts these people 00:12:18.700 --> 00:12:22.700 May God grant them success 00:12:22.700 --> 00:12:26.700 God guides with the Qur’an whomever He wills among His servants 00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:31.700 And whoever God will let down from believing in this Qur’an and believing in it 00:12:31.700 --> 00:12:36.700 He has no one who guides him and guides him in following him 00:12:36.700 --> 00:12:45.500 Is he who will protect his face from the worst torment on the Day of Resurrection? 00:12:45.500 --> 00:12:53.299 And it was said to the wrongdoers, “Taste what you used to earn.” 00:12:53.299 --> 00:12:58.299 Is he who protects his face from the evil of torment on the Day of Resurrection better? 00:12:58.299 --> 00:13:00.299 He will be safe in Paradise 00:13:00.299 --> 00:13:04.299 On that day it will be said to the wrongdoers themselves 00:13:04.299 --> 00:13:10.299 Taste today, O people, the evil of what you have earned in this world by disobeying God 00:13:10.299 --> 00:13:19.909 Those before them lied, so the torment came to them from where they did not perceive 00:13:19.909 --> 00:13:24.909 So God made them taste disgrace in this worldly life 00:13:24.909 --> 00:13:32.909 And the torment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew 00:13:32.909 --> 00:13:40.000 Those before those polytheists from the nations who passed away lied 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:46.000 Then the punishment of God came to them from the place from which they did not know that it was coming 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:50.000 May God hasten humiliation in this world for these nations 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:57.000 And God’s punishment for them in the afterlife is greater than the punishment with which He punished them in this world 00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:01.000 If these polytheists from Quraish knew that 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:12.700 And We have presented for the people every example in this Qur’an, so that they may remember 00:14:13.700 --> 00:14:21.309 We have presented to these polytheists every example of the past centuries 00:14:21.309 --> 00:14:27.309 A warning to them so that they might remember and remove their blindness from disbelief in God 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:40.460 We have given people every example in this Qur’an 00:14:41.460 --> 00:14:47.460 An unambiguous Arabic Qur’an so that they can understand the meanings it contains 00:14:47.460 --> 00:14:53.460 So that they fear what God warned them about of His punishment, so they turn to worshiping Him 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:18.929 Praise be to God, but most of them do not know 00:15:18.929 --> 00:15:21.929 God set an example for this infidel 00:15:21.929 --> 00:15:26.929 A man who is between a group of different, disputing owners 00:15:26.929 --> 00:15:32.929 Each one of them uses it according to his share and ownership in it 00:15:32.929 --> 00:15:39.929 A man who is sincere to another means a monotheist believer who is sincere in his worship of God 00:15:39.929 --> 00:15:46.120 Is it equal to someone who serves a group of partners who have bad morals? 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:51.120 And whoever serves one person, no one will dispute with him 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:56.190 Which of these two is better, has a better body, and is less tired? 00:15:56.190 --> 00:16:01.279 Complete thanks to God alone, without every deity other than Him 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:07.279 Rather, most of these polytheists do not know that they are not equal 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:13.279 Because of their ignorance, they worship various gods other than God 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:22.309 You are dead and they are dead 00:16:22.309 --> 00:16:31.490 On the Day of Resurrection, you will dispute before your Lord 00:16:31.490 --> 00:16:36.039 O Muhammad, you will soon die 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:42.039 These people who denounce you and the believers among them are dead 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:50.039 Then all of you, believers and unbelievers, will dispute on the Day of Resurrection before your Lord 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:54.039 It will be taken from the oppressor among you for the oppressed 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:59.509 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
