He is the Hearer, the Knower.” (6:13) 7 00:00:28,510 --> 00:00:32,509 "And He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing." 8 00:00:33,340 --> 00:00:35,719 And to Him belongs the kingdom and ownership of everything, 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,119 For there is nothing in Allah's creation except that it rests and exists within the night and the day. 10 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,439 "And He is the All-Hearing" regarding what these polytheists utter about Him in their false claims that He has a partner, 11 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,439 "The All-Knowing" of what they conceal within themselves and what they manifest through their physical faculties; 12 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,479 Nothing of that is hidden from Him. 13 00:00:57,649 --> 00:01:04,769 “Say: Shall I choose for a protecting friend other than Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, Who feedeth and is never fed? Say: I am ordered to be the first to surrender (unto Him). And be not thou (O Muhammad) of the idolaters.” (6:14) 14 00:01:05,090 --> 00:01:10,689 “Say: Shall I choose for a protecting friend other than Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, Who feedeth and is never fed? Say: I am ordered to be the first to surrender (unto Him). And be not thou (O Muhammad) of the idolaters.” (6:14) 15 00:01:11,170 --> 00:01:16,930 “Say: Shall I choose for a protecting friend other than Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, Who feedeth and is never fed? Say: I am ordered to be the first to surrender (unto Him). And be not thou (O Muhammad) of the idolaters.” (6:14) 16 00:01:17,329 --> 00:01:22,370 "And do not ever be among the polytheists." 17 00:01:22,849 --> 00:01:29,890 "Say, 'Indeed, I fear, if I were to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day.'" 18 00:01:31,409 --> 00:01:34,049 Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists: 19 00:01:34,689 --> 00:01:40,049 "Shall I seek help and support against afflictions and misfortunes from any entity other than Allah? 20 00:01:40,609 --> 00:01:45,250 He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth, their Initiator, and their Creator. 21 00:01:45,730 --> 00:01:48,450 And He provides sustenance to His creation, while He is not fed." 22 00:01:49,180 --> 00:01:55,739 Say, O Muhammad: "Indeed, my Lord has commanded me to be the first to submit to Him in total worship, 23 00:01:56,219 --> 00:01:58,459 And to humble myself before His commands and prohibitions." 24 00:01:59,019 --> 00:02:03,099 And it was said to me: "Do not ever be among those who associate partners with Allah— 25 00:02:03,579 --> 00:02:07,180 Those who set up false deities and equals as partners alongside Him." 26 00:02:07,890 --> 00:02:14,530 And say, O Muhammad: "Indeed, I fear—if I were to worship idols—the punishment of a Day whose terror is immense, 27 00:02:14,930 --> 00:02:16,689 Namely, the Day of Resurrection." 28 00:02:18,110 --> 00:02:24,110 “He from whom (such retribution) is averted on that day, (Allah) hath in truth had mercy on him. That will be the signal triumph.” (6:16) 29 00:02:24,590 --> 00:02:28,750 "And that is the manifest triumph." 30 00:02:29,889 --> 00:02:34,610 Whoever among His creation has His punishment averted from him on that Day, He has surely shown him mercy. 31 00:02:35,090 --> 00:02:38,210 And if Allah averts punishment from a person on the Day of Resurrection, 32 00:02:38,449 --> 00:02:40,370 That is true deliverance from destruction, 33 00:02:40,689 --> 00:02:47,090 And the ultimate success that is plainly evident to anyone who witnesses it—a success marked by attaining one's need and fulfilling one's quest. 34 00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:56,400 "And if Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it except Him." 35 00:02:56,719 --> 00:03:05,360 “If Allah touch thee with affliction, there is none that can relieve therefrom save Him, and if He touch thee with good fortune (there is none that can impair it); for He is Able to do all things.” (6:17) 36 00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:12,259 O Muhammad, if Allah afflicts you with hardship in your worldly life and severity in your living, 37 00:03:12,979 --> 00:03:15,620 None can lift that from you except Allah. 38 00:03:16,259 --> 00:03:20,020 "And if He touches you with good" in terms of ease of living and abundance of provision, 39 00:03:20,580 --> 00:03:22,979 “If Allah touch thee with affliction, there is none that can relieve therefrom save Him, and if He touch thee with good fortune (there is none that can impair it); for He is Able to do all things.” (6:17) 40 00:03:23,539 --> 00:03:28,900 He is fully Capable of benefiting or harming you, and nothing He wills can ever frustrate Him. 41 00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:43,360 Allah is the Omnipotent Overlord over His servants, Humbling them and Exalted above them; 42 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:49,520 Allah is the All-Wise in His supremacy over His servants and in all His divine management, 43 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,520 The All-Aware of the benefits and harms of all things, 44 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,159 From Whom neither the ultimate outcomes nor the immediate beginnings of affairs are hidden. 45 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,199 Say to them yet again: "I do not bear witness." 46 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:39,519 “Say (O Muhammad): What thing is of most weight in testimony? Say: Allah is Witness between me and you. And this Qur'an hath been inspired in me, that I may warn therewith you and whomsoever it may reach. Do ye in sooth bear witness that there are gods beside Allah? Say: I bear no such witness. Say: He is only One Allah. Lo! I am innocent of that which ye associate (with Him).” (6:19) 47 00:04:41,019 --> 00:04:43,740 Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists: 48 00:04:44,379 --> 00:04:47,339 "What thing is greatest and grandest as a testimony?" 49 00:04:47,579 --> 00:04:55,740 Say: "Allah, Whose testimony cannot be affected by what may affect the testimony of His creation— 50 00:04:56,139 --> 00:04:58,860 Such as inattention, error, mistake, or falsehood." 51 00:04:59,699 --> 00:05:06,579 Then say to them: "The One Who is the greatest of all things in testimony is the Witness between me and you 52 00:05:07,220 --> 00:05:09,379 As to who among us is truthful and who is falsehood-bound. 53 00:05:10,019 --> 00:05:14,100 And this Qur'an has been revealed to me that I may warn you thereby of His punishment, 54 00:05:14,660 --> 00:05:18,019 And that I may warn thereby whomever it reaches among mankind beyond you." 55 00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:24,180 "Do you truly bear witness, O polytheists, that there are other deities alongside Allah?" 56 00:05:24,819 --> 00:05:30,899 Say, O Muhammad: "I do not bear witness as you bear witness that there are other deities alongside Allah." 57 00:05:31,620 --> 00:05:34,660 Say: "He is only One God, 58 00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:39,379 Having no partner in the worship that His creation is obligated to render unto Him; 59 00:05:40,180 --> 00:05:45,860 And indeed, I am free from every partner you invoke alongside Allah and worship with Him." 60 00:05:47,230 --> 00:05:55,149 "Those to whom We gave the Scripture recognize him as they recognize their own sons." 61 00:05:55,709 --> 00:06:01,870 "Those who have lost their souls, they will not believe." 62 00:06:03,410 --> 00:06:09,490 Those to whom We gave the Torah and the Gospel recognize that He is only One God, 63 00:06:10,129 --> 00:06:17,009 And that Muhammad is a sent Prophet whom they find written down in their presence in the Torah and the Gospel. 64 00:06:17,810 --> 00:06:21,889 They are the ones who have ruined their own souls and cast them into the Fire of Hell 65 00:06:22,449 --> 00:06:26,529 By denying Muhammad—refusing to accept that he is a messenger sent by Allah— 66 00:06:27,089 --> 00:06:29,569 Even though they are fully aware of the reality of that truth. 67 00:06:30,290 --> 00:06:34,129 Thus, through their self-destruction, they do not believe. 68 00:06:34,930 --> 00:06:40,610 It has been said that every servant has an abode in Paradise and an abode in the Fire; 69 00:06:41,329 --> 00:06:47,889 So when the Day of Resurrection arrives, Allah grants the people of Paradise the abodes of the people of the Fire in Paradise, 70 00:06:48,610 --> 00:06:52,370 And He assigns to the people of the Fire the abodes of the people of Paradise in the Fire. 71 00:06:53,089 --> 00:06:57,329 That is the utter ruin of the losers among them and their self-inflicted injustice. 72 00:07:00,430 --> 00:07:11,949 "And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allah or denies His verses? Indeed, the wrongdoers will not succeed." 73 00:07:13,420 --> 00:07:17,899 And who is more egregious in transgression than one who fabricates false statements against Allah, 74 00:07:18,459 --> 00:07:24,699 Or denies His proofs and evidence that He granted His messengers to demonstrate the truth of their prophethood? 75 00:07:25,339 --> 00:07:31,259 Indeed, those who speak falsehood against Allah and fabricate lies against Him will never succeed. 76 00:07:32,699 --> 00:07:50,300 “And on the day We gather them together We shall say unto those who ascribed partners (unto Allah): Where are (now) those partners of your make-believe?” (6:22) 77 00:07:50,860 --> 00:08:07,500 “Then will they have no contention save that they will say: By Allah, our Lord, we never were idolaters.” (6:23) 78 00:08:09,019 --> 00:08:12,540 On the Day when We gather these fabricators together on the Day of Resurrection, 79 00:08:13,180 --> 00:08:23,420 We shall then say to those who associated partners with Allah: "Where are your partners whom you used to claim were deities for you besides Allah, out of fabrication and falsehood? 80 00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:26,779 Bring them forth if you are truthful!" 81 00:08:27,649 --> 00:08:38,370 Then their defense upon Our testing them will be nothing other than saying: "By Allah, our Lord, we never invoked a partner with You, nor did we invoke anyone besides You!" 82 00:08:43,870 --> 00:08:50,509 And all that they used to fabricate will stray and vanish from them. 83 00:08:51,899 --> 00:08:58,940 Consider, O Muhammad, and learn how these polytheists lied against themselves when meeting Allah, 84 00:08:59,659 --> 00:09:02,059 And how their equals and idols departed from them! 85 00:09:02,860 --> 00:09:07,500 They disowned them and took a different path from them because those idols perished, 86 00:09:08,299 --> 00:09:12,139 And then they were called to account for the false statements they used to fabricate against Allah. 87 00:09:12,620 --> 00:09:17,500 Thus, their false deities failed them, and those who worshipped them were punished for their fabrication. 88 00:09:19,019 --> 00:09:24,299 "And among them are those who listen to you," 89 00:09:25,019 --> 00:09:33,980 "But We have placed covers over their hearts, lest they understand it, and in their ears a deafness." 90 00:09:34,539 --> 00:09:39,659 "And if they were to see every sign, they would not believe in it." 91 00:09:40,139 --> 00:09:47,259 “Of them are some who listen unto thee, but We have placed upon their hearts veils, lest they should understand, and in their ears a deafness. If they saw every token they would not believe therein; to the point that, when they come unto thee to argue with thee, the disbelievers say: This is naught else than fables of the men of old.” (6:25) 92 00:09:47,740 --> 00:09:54,620 “Of them are some who listen unto thee, but We have placed upon their hearts veils, lest they should understand, and in their ears a deafness. If they saw every token they would not believe therein; to the point that, when they come unto thee to argue with thee, the disbelievers say: This is naught else than fables of the men of old.” (6:25) 93 00:09:56,220 --> 00:10:00,379 And among these people who equate others with their Lord from your folk, O Muhammad, 94 00:10:00,860 --> 00:10:02,700 Is he who listens to the Qur'an from you, 95 00:10:03,179 --> 00:10:05,980 Yet does not understand what you say nor ponder it, 96 00:10:06,460 --> 00:10:09,659 Because Allah has placed coverings over his heart, 97 00:10:10,059 --> 00:10:15,100 And has placed heaviness and deafness in their ears against understanding what you recite to them. 98 00:10:15,740 --> 00:10:22,139 And even if these people were to see every proof and sign demonstrating Allah's oneness, they would not believe it; 99 00:10:22,779 --> 00:10:27,820 Until, when they come to you after witnessing the signs, they argue with you. 100 00:10:28,460 --> 00:10:31,019 Those who deny Allah's signs say: 101 00:10:31,340 --> 00:10:34,299 "This is nothing but the fables written by the ancients." 102 00:10:35,809 --> 00:10:39,330 “And they forbid (men) from it and avoid it, and they ruin none save themselves, though they perceive not.” (6:26) 103 00:10:39,809 --> 00:10:46,450 “And they forbid (men) from it and avoid it, and they ruin none save themselves, though they perceive not.” (6:26) 104 00:10:47,860 --> 00:10:50,179 They forbid others from listening to the Revelation 105 00:10:50,740 --> 00:10:54,019 And from following Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), 106 00:10:54,659 --> 00:10:56,820 Keeping people distant from you and from following you. 107 00:10:57,460 --> 00:11:01,539 Yet they destroy none by their barring from Allah's path except themselves, 108 00:11:02,259 --> 00:11:05,700 Because by doing so, they earn for themselves Allah's wrath, 109 00:11:06,419 --> 00:11:10,179 Unaware of the destruction and ruin they are incurring upon themselves. 110 00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:27,519 “If thou couldst see when they are set before the Fire and say: Oh, would that we might return! Then would we not deny the revelations of our Lord but we would be of the believers!” (6:27) 111 00:11:28,779 --> 00:11:32,539 And if you could but see, O Muhammad, those who set up equals to their Lord, 112 00:11:32,940 --> 00:11:34,620 Denying your prophethood, 113 00:11:35,179 --> 00:11:39,100 When they are detained before the Fire! These polytheists will say: 114 00:11:39,820 --> 00:11:44,620 "Oh, would that we were returned to the worldly life, so that we might repent and return to obedience to Allah, 115 00:11:45,259 --> 00:11:48,539 And not deny the proofs of our Lord, nor reject them, 116 00:11:49,179 --> 00:11:53,019 But be among those who believe in Allah, His proofs, and His messengers, 117 00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:55,580 Following His commands and prohibitions!" 118 00:11:57,139 --> 00:12:03,299 “Nay, but that hath become clear unto them which before they used to hide. And if they were sent back they would return unto that which they are forbidden. Lo! they are liars.” (6:28) 119 00:12:03,779 --> 00:12:11,620 “Nay, but that hath become clear unto them which before they used to hide. And if they were sent back they would return unto that which they are forbidden. Lo! they are liars.” (6:28) 120 00:12:12,830 --> 00:12:18,669 These people who set up equals to their Lord did not intend true sorrow or genuine regret for abandoning faith in you; 121 00:12:19,470 --> 00:12:23,870 Rather, they were overcome with dread regarding the imminent divine punishment descending upon them 122 00:12:24,429 --> 00:12:30,990 For their sins that they used to hide from the eyes of people previously in the worldly life. 123 00:12:31,789 --> 00:12:38,029 Even if they were returned to the world and granted respite, they would surely revert to the very same deeds they used to commit— 124 00:12:38,509 --> 00:12:41,230 Namely, denying Allah's signs and disbelieving in Him. 125 00:12:41,950 --> 00:12:44,429 Indeed, they are liars in what they say, 126 00:12:44,990 --> 00:12:50,429 For they only said it out of fear of punishment, not out of faith in Allah. 127 00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:58,720 “And they say: There is naught save our life of the world, and we shall not be raised (again).” (6:29) 128 00:13:00,019 --> 00:13:06,740 "And they say, 'There is nothing except our worldly life, and we will not be resurrected after death.'" 129 00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:12,659 Thus, in their denial, they care not what sins and transgressions they commit, 130 00:13:13,379 --> 00:13:17,620 Because they neither hope for reward nor fear punishment. 131 00:13:19,169 --> 00:13:26,129 “If thou couldst see when they are set before their Lord! He will say: Is not this real? They will say: Yea, verily, by our Lord! He will say: Taste now the retribution for that ye used to disbelieve.” (6:30) 132 00:13:26,690 --> 00:13:36,370 They will say: "Yes, by our Lord!" He will say: "Then taste the punishment because you used to disbelieve." 133 00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:40,019 If you could but see, O Muhammad, these people 134 00:13:40,659 --> 00:13:45,220 When they are detained on the Day of Resurrection for Allah's judgment and decree concerning them, 135 00:13:45,940 --> 00:13:53,700 And it is said to them: "Is not this resurrection and gathering after death—which you used to deny in the world—the truth?" 136 00:13:54,669 --> 00:13:58,669 They will answer and say: "Yes, by Allah, it is indeed the truth!" 137 00:13:59,740 --> 00:14:05,179 So Allah will say to them: "Then taste the punishment for your denial of it in the worldly life!" 138 00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:38,740 “They indeed are losers who deny their meeting with Allah until, when the Hour cometh on them suddenly, they cry: Alas for us, that we neglected it! They bear upon their backs their burdens. Ah, evil is that which they bear!” (6:31) 139 00:14:39,919 --> 00:14:42,159 They have indeed perished—those who denied the Resurrection— 140 00:14:42,860 --> 00:14:51,500 Until, when the Hour comes upon them suddenly, without prior knowledge of its unexpected arrival, 141 00:14:51,980 --> 00:14:56,700 They will say: "Oh, how great is our regret for what we neglected therein!" 142 00:14:57,490 --> 00:15:00,370 And these people who denied the meeting with Allah 143 00:15:00,929 --> 00:15:04,450 Will carry their sins and burdens upon their backs; 144 00:15:05,090 --> 00:15:09,409 Ah, evil indeed is the burden of sin they bear due to their disbelief in their Lord! 145 00:15:10,909 --> 00:15:16,190 “Naught is the life of the world save a pastime and a sport. Better far is the abode of the Hereafter for those who keep their duty (to Allah). Have ye then no sense?” (6:32) 146 00:15:16,669 --> 00:15:22,110 "And the home of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allah." 147 00:15:22,909 --> 00:15:26,110 "Will you not then understand?" 148 00:15:27,419 --> 00:15:30,940 The worldly pleasures brought close to you 149 00:15:31,340 --> 00:15:35,179 And presented before you in this abode of yours, O people, are nothing 150 00:15:35,659 --> 00:15:37,500 Except amusement and play, 151 00:15:38,059 --> 00:15:40,379 Because in a short while, it will all vanish; 152 00:15:40,860 --> 00:15:42,539 So do not be deceived by it. 153 00:15:43,179 --> 00:15:47,019 Working in obedience to Him and preparing for the Home of the Hereafter 154 00:15:47,580 --> 00:15:49,740 Is far better for those who fear Allah, 155 00:15:50,220 --> 00:15:53,740 Guarding against His displeasure by obeying Him and avoiding disobedience to Him. 156 00:15:54,460 --> 00:15:59,740 Do these deniers of the Resurrection not comprehend the reality of what We inform them? 157 00:16:00,850 --> 00:16:06,850 “We know well how their talk grieveth thee, though in truth they deny not thee (Muhammad) but evil-doers flout the revelations of Allah.” (6:33) 158 00:16:07,330 --> 00:16:17,090 “We know well how their talk grieveth thee, though in truth they deny not thee (Muhammad) but evil-doers flout the revelations of Allah.” (6:33) 159 00:16:18,350 --> 00:16:23,149 "We know well, O Muhammad, that what the polytheists say grieves you." 160 00:16:23,789 --> 00:16:26,990 Namely, their statement regarding him that he is a liar. 161 00:16:27,710 --> 00:16:32,029 Yet they do not truly accuse you of lying regarding the divine revelation you brought them; 162 00:16:32,590 --> 00:16:34,190 Rather, they know its authenticity, 163 00:16:34,830 --> 00:16:38,429 But they willfully reject the truth despite their knowledge, 164 00:16:39,070 --> 00:16:42,110 Calling you a liar out of stubbornness and envy. 165 00:16:42,830 --> 00:16:48,269 Indeed, the polytheists willfully deny Allah's proofs, the verses of His Book, and His Messenger, 166 00:16:48,830 --> 00:16:51,230 Refusing to acknowledge the truth of it all. 167 00:16:52,460 --> 00:17:05,420 “Messengers indeed have been denied before thee, and they were patient under the denial and the persecution till Our succour reached them. There is none to alter the decisions of Allah. Already there hath reached thee (somewhat) of the tidings of the messengers (We sent before).” (6:34) 168 00:17:05,980 --> 00:17:17,099 “Messengers indeed have been denied before thee, and they were patient under the denial and the persecution till Our succour reached them. There is none to alter the decisions of Allah. Already there hath reached thee (somewhat) of the tidings of the messengers (We sent before).” (6:34) 169 00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:22,700 If these polytheists among your people call you a liar, O Muhammad, 170 00:17:23,259 --> 00:17:27,500 Messengers before you were likewise denied and subjected to harm by their peoples, 171 00:17:28,140 --> 00:17:31,019 Yet they patiently endured their people's denial of them, 172 00:17:31,740 --> 00:17:34,779 And that did not turn them back from proceeding upon Allah's command, 173 00:17:35,339 --> 00:17:38,380 Until Allah judged between them and their rejecters. 174 00:17:39,180 --> 00:17:41,180 "And none can change the words of Allah." 175 00:17:41,980 --> 00:17:47,500 And His words refer to what Allah revealed to His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) 176 00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:51,099 Regarding His promise to grant him victory over those who oppose him. 177 00:17:51,740 --> 00:17:57,500 "And there has already come to you, O Muhammad, news of the messengers before you and news of their nations, 178 00:17:58,059 --> 00:18:03,900 And what I did to them when they rejected My signs and persisted in their transgression and error." 179 00:18:05,490 --> 00:18:30,690 "And if their aversion is difficult for you, then if you are able to seek a tunnel into the earth or a ladder into the sky to bring them a sign, do so." 180 00:18:31,170 --> 00:18:41,650 "And if Allah had willed, He could have gathered them upon guidance; so do not ever be among the ignorant." 181 00:18:43,099 --> 00:18:48,059 If the aversion of these polytheists from you weighs heavily upon you, O Muhammad, 182 00:18:48,619 --> 00:18:50,220 And causes you distress, 183 00:18:50,859 --> 00:18:56,140 Then if you are able to make a tunnel in the earth—like the burrow of a jerboa, 184 00:18:56,779 --> 00:18:58,299 Which is one of its underground holes— 185 00:18:58,940 --> 00:19:02,299 And go through it, or find a ladder by which to ascend into the sky, 186 00:19:02,940 --> 00:19:06,940 To bring them a sign and clear proof validating your truthfulness, 187 00:19:07,420 --> 00:19:08,140 Then do so! 188 00:19:08,980 --> 00:19:12,420 Had I willed to gather them all upon uprightness in religion 189 00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:15,220 So that your community would be a single unified one, 190 00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:17,380 I would have gathered them upon that; 191 00:19:18,099 --> 00:19:23,220 But I did not do so in accordance with My prior knowledge and decisive decree concerning them. 192 00:19:24,019 --> 00:19:30,579 So do not ever be among those who do not know that if Allah had willed, He would have gathered all His creation upon guidance, 193 00:19:31,299 --> 00:19:35,859 And that whoever disbelieves in Him does so only according to Allah's prior knowledge regarding him. 194 00:19:36,660 --> 00:19:38,900 For once you know the truth of this, 195 00:19:39,539 --> 00:19:45,220 You will no longer be grieved by the turning away of those polytheists who turn away from the truth to which you call them, 196 00:19:46,019 --> 00:19:48,180 Nor by the denial of those among them who call you a liar.
