1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,160 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 2 00:00:05,169 --> 00:00:08,050 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 3 00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:12,779 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammar 4 00:00:12,779 --> 00:00:16,449 Surat Ghafir 5 00:00:16,449 --> 00:00:22,769 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 6 00:00:22,769 --> 00:00:33,270 Did they not travel through the land and see what was the end of those who were before them? 7 00:00:33,469 --> 00:00:52,070 They were stronger than them in power and influence on earth, so God seized them for their sins, and they had no protector from God 8 00:00:52,070 --> 00:00:57,880 Haven't these residents continued their polytheism in the country? 9 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:03,280 So they saw what was the end of those who were before them among the nations 10 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:09,280 Those nations were more brutal than them and left traces on the earth 11 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:17,280 The strength of their strength did not benefit them when the command of God came to them and seized them for the sins they had committed 12 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:24,280 And they had no protection from God’s punishment when there came to them a protector to protect them and ward it off from them 13 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:40,950 That is because their messengers used to come to them with clear proofs, but they disbelieved, so God seized them. Indeed, He is powerful and severe in punishment 14 00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:49,780 This is what you did to these nations, because God’s messengers used to come to them with clear proofs 15 00:01:49,780 --> 00:01:59,840 They denied her message, so God seized them with His torment and destroyed them. God is powerful and cannot be defeated by anything 16 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,579 His punishment is severe for whoever punishes those of His creation 17 00:02:04,579 --> 00:02:20,120 And We sent Moses with Our signs and clear authority to Pharaoh, Haman, and Qarun, and they said, “He is a lying magician.” 18 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:29,120 We sent Moses with clear evidence and arguments to those who see it as proof that achieves what he calls for 19 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:41,120 To Pharaoh, Haman, and Qarun, they said: This is a magician who enchants a stick, and the one who looks at it sees that it is alive and running 20 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,120 He lies about God and claims that He sent him to the people as a messenger 21 00:02:46,120 --> 00:03:13,759 When he brought them the truth from Us, they said: They killed the sons of those who believed with him and spared their women. And the plot of the unbelievers is nothing but error. 22 00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:25,439 When Moses came to those to whom God sent him with the truth from us, that is the monotheism of God and work in obedience to Him 23 00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:35,439 They said, “Kill the children of those who believed in God with him among the children of Israel, and spared their women for service.” 24 00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:46,460 And the unbelievers deceive the people of faith in God, except in the case of permissibility on the path of truth and preventing the intention of proving proof 25 00:03:46,460 --> 00:04:01,460 Pharaoh said, “Leave me to kill Moses and let him call on his Lord. I fear that he will change your religion or that corruption will appear in the land.” 26 00:04:03,389 --> 00:04:13,389 And Pharaoh said to his entourage, “Let me kill Moses, and let him call upon his Lord, who claims that he sent him to us, and prevent him from us.” 27 00:04:13,389 --> 00:04:27,389 I fear that he will change the religion you follow with his magic, or that the worship of his Lord, the One who calls you to worship Him, will appear in your land, and that would be corruption with him. 28 00:04:27,389 --> 00:04:39,930 Moses said, “Indeed, I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant person who does not believe in the Day of Judgment.” 29 00:04:39,930 --> 00:04:51,699 And Moses said to Pharaoh and his entourage: “O people, if you seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant person who is arrogant in his monotheism.” 30 00:04:51,699 --> 00:05:01,560 He does not believe in a day when God will hold His creation accountable and reward the doer of good with his good deeds and the wrongdoer with what he did wrong 31 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:18,560 A believing man from the family of Pharaoh who concealed his faith said, “Would you kill a man for saying, ‘My Lord is God?’” 32 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:45,560 He has come to you with clear proofs from your Lord, and if he is a liar then his lie is upon him, but if he is truthful then some of what he promises you will befall you. Indeed, God does not guide one who is an extravagant liar. 33 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:58,399 A believing man from the people of Pharaoh’s family said, “His faith was easy for fear for his life. O people, will you kill Moses because he says, ‘My Lord is God?’” 34 00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:10,399 He has brought to you clear verses that confirm the truth of what he says, and if Moses was a liar that God sent him, then the sin of his lying was on him rather than on you. 35 00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:25,399 And if he is truthful in that, then the punishment he promised you will befall you, then you have no need to kill him. God will not enable one to do what is not his right to do what is right. 36 00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:29,399 A liar against him, he lies and says falsehood 37 00:06:52,389 --> 00:06:55,959 O my people, you have the power and the kingdom today 38 00:06:55,959 --> 00:07:04,959 You are dominant over the children of Israel in the land of Egypt. Who will defend us from God’s might and power if it befalls us? 39 00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:15,060 Pharaoh said, “I do not offer you, O people, any opinion or advice except what I see for myself and for you as good and right.” 40 00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:21,060 I only call you to the path of truth and correctness regarding the matter of Moses and his killing 41 00:07:26,829 --> 00:07:46,720 I fear for you like the Day of Confederation, like the habit of the people of Noah, Ad, Thamud, and those after them. And God does not desire injustice for His servants. 42 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,720 The believer is from the family of Pharaoh 43 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:59,720 O my people, I fear for you if you kill Moses, like the day of the parties who joined forces against the Messengers of God, Noah, Hud, and Salih. 44 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:08,720 And those after them from the people of Abraham and the people of Lot, God destroyed them and He will destroy you as He destroyed them 45 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:18,720 God did not destroy these parties due to injustice on their part, without any crime, because He does not want or will the injustice of His servants 46 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,720 But he destroyed them because of their crimes and disbelief in Him 47 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:44,590 O my people, I fear for you on the Day of Calling, the day you turn away, you will have no protector from God, and whoever God leads astray, he will have no guide. 48 00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:57,389 O my people, I fear for you if you kill Moses, God’s punishment on the Day when people will call out to one another, either because of the horror of what they have witnessed. 49 00:08:57,389 --> 00:09:06,580 Or they will seek help from one another from one another on the day you turn away, fleeing through the land, beware of God’s punishment and punishment 50 00:09:06,580 --> 00:09:17,580 You have no objection from God to prevent you, and whoever is forsaken by God and does not guide him to his right path, then he has no one to help him succeed for him. 51 00:09:17,580 --> 00:09:43,539 Joseph had come to you before with clear proofs, but you were still in doubt about what he brought to you, until when he died you said, “God will not send a messenger after him.” 52 00:09:43,539 --> 00:09:51,539 Thus God leads astray those who are extravagant and doubtful 53 00:09:51,539 --> 00:10:02,179 And Joseph, son of Jacob, came to you before Moses with clear proofs from God, but you were still doubtful about what Joseph brought to you. 54 00:10:02,179 --> 00:10:10,179 Even when Joseph died, you said, “God will not send to you a messenger after Joseph.” 55 00:10:10,179 --> 00:10:20,279 This is how God prevents from attaining the truth and from aiming at the path whoever disbelieves in Him, doubts him, and doubts the truth of the reports of His messengers 56 00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:35,039 Those who dispute the verses of God without authority have come to hatred of God and those who believe 57 00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:44,039 Likewise, God puts a stamp on every arrogant and tyrannical heart 58 00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:54,809 Those who dispute His arguments that His messengers brought to them in order to refute them with falsehood without any evidence that came to them from their Lord. 59 00:10:54,809 --> 00:11:02,809 That controversy with which they debate over the verses of God is so detestable to God and to those who believe 60 00:11:02,809 --> 00:11:11,809 Just as God has set a seal on the hearts of the extravagant who dispute the verses of God without the authority He gave them 61 00:11:11,809 --> 00:11:19,809 Likewise, God places a stamp on every heart that is arrogant toward God and is too proud to follow the truth 62 00:11:19,809 --> 00:11:38,769 And Pharaoh said, “O Hama, let us build a tower for me, so that I may reach the heavens and see the God of Moses.” And I think he is a liar. 63 00:11:38,769 --> 00:11:53,769 Likewise, his evil deeds appeared pleasing to Pharaoh, and he was blocked from the path, and Pharaoh’s plot only resulted in ruin 64 00:11:53,769 --> 00:12:07,990 And Pharaoh said, “O Hama, let us build a building for myself, so that I may reach the causes of the heavens and cause them to cause me to see the God of Moses.” 65 00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:21,990 Be it roads, doors, houses, or anything else, and I think Moses is lying in what he says that he has in heaven a Lord who sent him to us. 66 00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:32,990 Thus, God made pleasing to Pharaoh the ugly of his deeds, blocking him from the path, and the deceit of Pharaoh, except in loss, loss of money, and injustice. 67 00:12:32,990 --> 00:12:45,850 Because his expenses that he spent on the edifice were in vain, and he did not obtain by means of what he spent anything of what he wanted, so that is loss and repentance. 68 00:12:45,850 --> 00:13:12,799 And he who believed said, “O my people, follow me. I will guide you to a right path. O my people, this life of this world is only an enjoyment, and the Hereafter is the abode of rest.” 69 00:13:12,799 --> 00:13:26,799 And the one who believed among Pharaoh’s people said to his people, “O my people, if you follow me and accept from me what I tell you, I will show you the right path that you will be guided to if you take it.” 70 00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:47,639 This worldly life is nothing but an enjoyment that you enjoy for a while, while you are adults, then you die and it departs from you. And the home of the Hereafter is the home in which you settle and do not die. It is for it, so work for it and seek it. 71 00:13:47,639 --> 00:14:16,639 Whoever does a bad deed will only be rewarded with the like of it, and whoever does a good deed, whether male or female, and is a believer - those will enter Paradise and will be provided therein without reckoning. 72 00:14:17,639 --> 00:14:44,440 Whoever acts in disobedience to God in this life of this world, God will reward him in the Hereafter only with an evil like it, and whoever acts in obedience to God in this world while believing in God, those are those who in the Hereafter will enter Paradise. God will provide them in Paradise with its fruits and the bliss and pleasures it contains without reckoning. 73 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:51,480 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
