WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.039 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari. 00:00:08.539 --> 00:00:12.740 Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari. 00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:16.280 Surah Fussilat. 00:00:18.210 --> 00:00:22.010 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.399 We have appointed for them companions. 00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:30.440 “And We assigned them comrades (in the world), who made their present and their past fairseeming unto them. And the Word concerning nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before them hath effect for them. Lo! they were ever losers.” (41:25) 00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:35.000 “And We assigned them comrades (in the world), who made their present and their past fairseeming unto them. And the Word concerning nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before them hath effect for them. Lo! they were ever losers.” (41:25) 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:36.439 And what is behind them. 00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:39.200 And the word has come into effect upon them. 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.359 “And We assigned them comrades (in the world), who made their present and their past fairseeming unto them. And the Word concerning nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before them hath effect for them. Lo! they were ever losers.” (41:25) 00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.399 [Nations] have passed away before them. 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.679 From among the jinn and mankind. 00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:54.320 Indeed, they were the losers. 00:00:55.780 --> 00:00:58.780 We sent them counterparts from among the devils. 00:00:59.219 --> 00:01:01.420 And We made them their companions. 00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:02.740 We bound them to them. 00:01:03.219 --> 00:01:06.099 They make their ugly deeds appear fair to them. 00:01:06.579 --> 00:01:08.859 “And We assigned them comrades (in the world), who made their present and their past fairseeming unto them. And the Word concerning nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before them hath effect for them. Lo! they were ever losers.” (41:25) 00:01:08.859 --> 00:01:10.060 Regarding worldly affairs. 00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:13.659 And they also made their life after death seem appealing to them. 00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:16.700 By inviting them to deny the Resurrection. 00:01:17.219 --> 00:01:19.579 And the punishment became inevitable for them, just as it did for nations. 00:01:19.579 --> 00:01:20.980 That had passed away before them. 00:01:21.379 --> 00:01:23.340 It became inevitable for them from Our punishment. 00:01:23.340 --> 00:01:25.819 Just as it became inevitable for these [later ones]. 00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:27.579 Some of them from the jinn. 00:01:27.579 --> 00:01:29.260 And some of them from mankind. 00:01:29.780 --> 00:01:32.260 Indeed, those nations were the ones who were cheated. 00:01:32.260 --> 00:01:34.659 By trading the pleasure of Allah for His wrath. 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.120 And those who disbelieved said: 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.040 “Those who disbelieve say: Heed not this Qur'an, and drown the hearing of it; haply ye may conquer.” (41:26) 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.760 And speak noisily during it, so that you may prevail. 00:01:46.230 --> 00:01:49.150 And those who disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger said: 00:01:49.709 --> 00:01:52.109 Do not listen to the reciter of this Qur'an. 00:01:52.109 --> 00:01:53.030 When he recites it. 00:01:53.390 --> 00:01:54.590 And do not pay attention to him. 00:01:55.109 --> 00:01:58.030 And make noise with false speech when he recites it. 00:01:58.430 --> 00:02:00.430 So that by your doing so, 00:02:00.430 --> 00:02:02.790 You may turn away those who wish to listen to it. 00:02:02.790 --> 00:02:03.790 So that they do not hear it. 00:02:04.269 --> 00:02:06.629 And thus you may prevail over Muhammad, peace be upon him. 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.280 We shall surely make those who disbelieved taste. 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.520 A severe punishment. 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.159 And We shall surely recompense them. 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.360 And We shall surely recompense them. 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:24.000 “But verily We shall cause those who disbelieve to taste an awful doom, and verily We shall requite them the worst of what they used to do.” (41:27) 00:02:25.530 --> 00:02:28.129 We shall surely make those who disbelieved in Allah taste. 00:02:28.169 --> 00:02:30.250 A severe punishment in the Hereafter. 00:02:30.729 --> 00:02:33.250 And We shall surely reward them for that action of theirs. 00:02:33.250 --> 00:02:36.090 And other [actions] with the worst recompense for their deeds. 00:02:36.090 --> 00:02:38.169 Which they committed in the world. 00:02:39.750 --> 00:02:47.669 “That is the reward of Allah's enemies: the Fire. Therein is their immortal home, payment forasmuch as they denied Our revelations.” (41:28) 00:02:48.210 --> 00:02:50.650 “That is the reward of Allah's enemies: the Fire. Therein is their immortal home, payment forasmuch as they denied Our revelations.” (41:28) 00:02:50.650 --> 00:02:58.129 “That is the reward of Allah's enemies: the Fire. Therein is their immortal home, payment forasmuch as they denied Our revelations.” (41:28) 00:02:59.460 --> 00:03:02.699 This recompense with which these people are repaid. 00:03:02.699 --> 00:03:04.060 Is the Fire. 00:03:04.060 --> 00:03:06.900 For them therein is the home of eternal stay and dwelling. 00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:09.219 We did this which We did. 00:03:09.219 --> 00:03:12.340 As a recompense from Us for their rejection of Our signs. 00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:16.419 “And those who disbelieve will say: Our Lord! Show us those who beguiled us of the jinn and humankind. We will place them underneath our feet that they may be among the nethermost.” (41:29) 00:03:16.419 --> 00:03:18.860 Show us those who misled us. 00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:22.020 From among the jinn and mankind. 00:03:22.020 --> 00:03:27.020 We will place them under our feet. 00:03:27.020 --> 00:03:30.539 So that they may be among the lowest. 00:03:31.979 --> 00:03:34.860 And those who disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger said: 00:03:35.379 --> 00:03:38.099 Our Lord, show us those who misled us. 00:03:38.099 --> 00:03:41.099 From Your creation, from their jinn and their mankind. 00:03:41.099 --> 00:03:43.659 We will place these two who misled us. 00:03:43.659 --> 00:03:45.419 Under our feet. 00:03:45.419 --> 00:03:47.580 So that they may be in the severest punishment. 00:03:47.580 --> 00:03:49.819 “Lo! the hypocrites (will be) in the lowest deep of the Fire, and thou wilt find no helper for them;” (4:145) 00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:54.939 Indeed, those who said, "Our Lord is Allah," 00:03:54.939 --> 00:03:57.259 Then remained steadfast. 00:03:57.259 --> 00:04:06.259 The angels descend upon them. 00:04:06.259 --> 00:04:09.819 [Saying], "Do not fear and do not grieve." 00:04:09.819 --> 00:04:14.780 And receive the good tidings of Paradise. 00:04:14.780 --> 00:04:19.699 Which you were promised. 00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:23.660 Indeed, those who said, "Our Lord is Allah," 00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:25.819 Alone, with no partner unto Him. 00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:28.699 Then remained steadfast upon the monotheism of Allah. 00:04:28.699 --> 00:04:31.019 The angels descend upon them. 00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:33.259 At the time of their death. 00:04:33.259 --> 00:04:36.060 [Saying], "Do not fear what lies before you." 00:04:36.060 --> 00:04:40.180 "And do not grieve for what you leave behind you." 00:04:40.180 --> 00:04:43.620 And they were gladdened that for them in the Hereafter is Paradise. 00:04:43.620 --> 00:04:48.180 Which you were promised in the world. 00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:52.220 We are your allies. 00:04:52.220 --> 00:04:56.339 In the worldly life and in the Hereafter. 00:04:56.379 --> 00:05:01.420 “We are your protecting friends in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. There ye will have (all) that your souls desire, and there ye will have (all) for which ye pray.” (41:31) 00:05:01.420 --> 00:05:05.819 “We are your protecting friends in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. There ye will have (all) that your souls desire, and there ye will have (all) for which ye pray.” (41:31) 00:05:05.819 --> 00:05:13.180 As a gift from the Forgiving, the Merciful. 00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:17.339 We are your allies, O people, in the worldly life. 00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:19.939 We were your guardians therein. 00:05:19.939 --> 00:05:23.620 And in the Hereafter, we are also your allies. 00:05:23.660 --> 00:05:27.459 And you have in the Hereafter, with Allah, whatever your souls desire. 00:05:27.459 --> 00:05:29.860 Of pleasures and delights. 00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:33.100 Your Lord has granted you that as a gift. 00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:35.899 From a Lord who is Forgiving of your sins. 00:05:35.899 --> 00:05:40.939 Merciful to you, that He would punish you after your repentance. 00:05:40.939 --> 00:05:46.860 And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah? 00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:51.500 And does righteousness. 00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:58.259 “And who is better in speech than him who prayeth unto his Lord and doeth right, and saith: Lo! I am of those who are muslims (surrender unto Him).” (41:33) 00:05:58.259 --> 00:06:03.139 And who, O people, is better in speech than one who says, "Our Lord is Allah," 00:06:03.139 --> 00:06:05.699 Then remains steadfast in faith in Him. 00:06:05.699 --> 00:06:09.740 And invites the servants of Allah to what he said and acted upon. 00:06:09.740 --> 00:06:15.329 And says, "Indeed, I am of those who submit to Allah in obedience." 00:06:15.329 --> 00:06:19.610 “The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend.” (41:34) 00:06:19.610 --> 00:06:22.529 Repel [evil] with that which is better. 00:06:22.529 --> 00:06:36.860 “The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend.” (41:34) 00:06:36.860 --> 00:06:40.779 And faith in Allah and acting in obedience to Him are not equal. 00:06:40.779 --> 00:06:43.980 To associating partners with Him and acting in disobedience to Him. 00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:48.019 Repel, O Muhammad, with your forbearance, the ignorance of those who are ignorant toward you. 00:06:48.060 --> 00:06:50.180 So that the one who does evil to you. 00:06:50.180 --> 00:06:52.899 “The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend.” (41:34) 00:06:52.899 --> 00:06:56.819 Will become as if he were [your] close friend, due to his gentleness toward you and his kindness to you. 00:06:56.819 --> 00:07:02.350 A relative of yours from among your cousins. 00:07:02.350 --> 00:07:06.910 “But none is granted it save those who are steadfast, and none is granted it save the owner of great happiness.” (41:35) 00:07:06.910 --> 00:07:15.240 “But none is granted it save those who are steadfast, and none is granted it save the owner of great happiness.” (41:35) 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.240 And none is granted the repelling of evil with good. 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:23.360 Except those who are patient for the sake of Allah against adversities and difficult matters. 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:25.839 And none attains this quality. 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:32.290 Except one who has a great share and a prior record of good deeds. 00:07:32.290 --> 00:07:38.649 And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan. 00:07:38.649 --> 00:07:46.779 “And if a whisper from the devil reach thee (O Muhammad) then seek refuge in Allah. Lo! He is the Hearer, the Knower.” (41:36) 00:07:46.779 --> 00:07:50.139 And if Satan casts into your soul, O Muhammad. 00:07:50.139 --> 00:07:52.699 A whisper from the inner self. 00:07:52.699 --> 00:07:57.019 An urge to make you retaliate for evil with evil. 00:07:57.019 --> 00:08:00.699 Then seek refuge in Allah and hold fast against his footsteps. 00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:04.699 Indeed, Allah is the All-Hearing of your seeking refuge from his whisperings. 00:08:04.699 --> 00:08:07.220 And of other than that of your speech. 00:08:07.220 --> 00:08:10.899 The All-Knowing of what he casts into your soul of his whisperings. 00:08:10.899 --> 00:08:15.800 And other than that of your affairs and the affairs of His creation. 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:21.759 “And of His portents are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or the moon; but prostrate to Allah Who created them, if it is in truth Him Whom ye worship.” (41:37) 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:25.720 “And of His portents are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or the moon; but prostrate to Allah Who created them, if it is in truth Him Whom ye worship.” (41:37) 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.759 And they prostrated to Allah. 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:32.639 And they prostrated to Allah who created them. 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:38.299 If it is Him that you worship. 00:08:38.299 --> 00:08:43.220 And among the proofs of Allah Almighty to His creation is the alternation of the night and the day. 00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:46.820 And the succession of each one of them by the other. 00:08:46.820 --> 00:08:49.019 And the sun and the moon. 00:08:49.019 --> 00:08:52.820 Do not prostrate, O people, to the sun nor to the moon. 00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:56.700 For although they run in their orbit for your benefit. 00:08:56.700 --> 00:09:00.980 They only run by the command of Allah, obedient to Him. 00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:05.940 Not because they are capable by themselves of movement and running. 00:09:05.940 --> 00:09:10.940 But prostrate to Allah who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. 00:09:10.940 --> 00:09:16.340 If you worship Allah and humble yourselves to Him in obedience. 00:09:35.500 --> 00:09:42.019 But if these people among whom you are, the polytheists of Quraysh, grow arrogant, O Muhammad. 00:09:42.019 --> 00:09:46.379 And consider themselves too great to prostrate to Allah who created them. 00:09:46.379 --> 00:09:51.259 Then the angels who are with your Lord do not grow arrogant regarding that. 00:09:51.259 --> 00:09:53.379 Nor do they consider themselves too great for it. 00:09:53.379 --> 00:09:56.059 Rather, they glorify Him night and day. 00:09:56.059 --> 00:10:02.279 And they do not tire of their worship, nor do they weary of praying to Him. 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:19.840 When We send down water upon it, it stirs and swells. 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:24.759 Indeed, He who revived it is the One who will revive the dead. 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:31.409 Indeed, He is over all things competent. 00:10:31.409 --> 00:10:36.889 And among the proofs of Allah also, and His evidence for His power to resurrect the dead. 00:10:36.889 --> 00:10:40.769 Is that you, O Muhammad, see the earth barren and dusty. 00:10:40.769 --> 00:10:43.409 With no vegetation or crops in it. 00:10:43.450 --> 00:10:47.690 Then when We send down rain from the sky upon this earth. 00:10:47.690 --> 00:10:50.809 It stirs with vegetation and swells. 00:10:50.809 --> 00:10:53.250 Indeed, He who revived this earth. 00:10:53.250 --> 00:10:58.370 Is capable of reviving the dead of the children of Adam after their death. 00:10:58.370 --> 00:11:02.809 Indeed, your Lord, O Muhammad, regarding the revival of His creation after their death. 00:11:02.809 --> 00:11:04.970 And regarding everything He wills. 00:11:04.970 --> 00:11:09.980 Is Possessor of power; nothing He wills can frustrate Him. 00:11:10.019 --> 00:11:16.899 “Lo! those who distort Our revelations are not hid from Us. Is he who is hurled into the Fire better, or he who cometh secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do what ye will. Lo! He is Seer of what ye do.” (41:40) 00:11:16.899 --> 00:11:26.740 “Lo! those who distort Our revelations are not hid from Us. Is he who is hurled into the Fire better, or he who cometh secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do what ye will. Lo! He is Seer of what ye do.” (41:40) 00:11:26.740 --> 00:11:34.700 “Lo! those who distort Our revelations are not hid from Us. Is he who is hurled into the Fire better, or he who cometh secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do what ye will. Lo! He is Seer of what ye do.” (41:40) 00:11:34.700 --> 00:11:39.460 Indeed, those who deviate from the truth regarding Our proofs and evidence. 00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:43.179 We are aware of them; they are not hidden from Us. 00:11:43.179 --> 00:11:45.940 And We are watching them. 00:11:45.940 --> 00:11:49.139 Is he who is cast into the Fire better? 00:11:49.139 --> 00:11:55.580 Or he who comes on the Day of Resurrection secure from the punishment of Allah due to his faith in Allah? 00:11:55.580 --> 00:11:59.740 Indeed, if he believes in the signs of Allah and follows the command of Allah. 00:11:59.740 --> 00:12:02.259 He will be secure on the Day of Resurrection. 00:12:02.259 --> 00:12:04.379 Do whatever you wish. 00:12:04.379 --> 00:12:07.139 This is also a threat to them. 00:12:07.139 --> 00:12:11.100 Indeed, Allah, O people, regarding the deeds you perform. 00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:13.059 Is All-Knowing and All-Aware. 00:12:13.059 --> 00:12:18.700 Nothing of them or of anything else is hidden from Him. 00:12:18.700 --> 00:12:25.820 Indeed, those who disbelieved in the Reminder when it came to them. 00:12:25.820 --> 00:12:30.620 And indeed, it is a mighty Book. 00:12:30.620 --> 00:12:37.700 “Falsehood cannot come at it from before it or from behind it. (It is) a revelation from the Wise, the Owner of Praise.” (41:42) 00:12:37.700 --> 00:12:44.259 “Falsehood cannot come at it from before it or from behind it. (It is) a revelation from the Wise, the Owner of Praise.” (41:42) 00:12:44.259 --> 00:12:49.700 Indeed, those who rejected this Qur'an and denied it when it came to them. 00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:54.700 And indeed, this Reminder is a mighty Book, honored by Allah. 00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:59.500 And protected from anyone who wishes to alter or distort it. 00:12:59.500 --> 00:13:03.139 No person of falsehood can change it by his plotting. 00:13:03.139 --> 00:13:06.860 Or alter any of its meanings from what they are. 00:13:06.899 --> 00:13:10.220 And that is by approaching it from before it. 00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:13.019 Nor by adding to it what is not from it. 00:13:13.019 --> 00:13:15.899 And that is by approaching it from behind it. 00:13:15.899 --> 00:13:20.259 It is a revelation from One who is Wise in the management of His servants. 00:13:20.259 --> 00:13:25.779 Praised for His blessings upon them and His favors toward them. 00:13:25.779 --> 00:13:32.340 “Naught is said unto thee (Muhammad) save what was said unto the messengers before thee. Lo! thy Lord is owner of forgiveness, and owner (also) of dire punishment.” (41:43) 00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:40.259 “Naught is said unto thee (Muhammad) save what was said unto the messengers before thee. Lo! thy Lord is owner of forgiveness, and owner (also) of dire punishment.” (41:43) 00:13:40.259 --> 00:13:44.100 Nothing is said to you, O Muhammad, by these polytheists who deny [the truth]. 00:13:44.100 --> 00:13:47.659 Except what was said by those before them from the nations. 00:13:47.659 --> 00:13:50.980 So be patient over what you have suffered of harm from them. 00:13:50.980 --> 00:13:54.820 Indeed, your Lord is Possessor of forgiveness for the sins of those who repent. 00:13:54.820 --> 00:14:01.059 And He is Possessor of painful punishment for those who persist in their disbelief and sins. 00:14:01.059 --> 00:14:04.899 “And if We had appointed it a Lecture in a foreign tongue they would assuredly have said: If only its verses were expounded (so that we might understand)? What! A foreign tongue and an Arab? - Say unto them (O Muhammad): For those who believe it is a guidance and a healing; and as for those who disbelieve, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness for them. Such are called to from afar.” (41:44) 00:14:04.899 --> 00:14:09.179 “And if We had appointed it a Lecture in a foreign tongue they would assuredly have said: If only its verses were expounded (so that we might understand)? What! A foreign tongue and an Arab? - Say unto them (O Muhammad): For those who believe it is a guidance and a healing; and as for those who disbelieve, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness for them. Such are called to from afar.” (41:44) 00:14:09.179 --> 00:14:13.059 A non-Arabic [language] and an Arabic [language]. 00:14:13.059 --> 00:14:20.200 “And if We had appointed it a Lecture in a foreign tongue they would assuredly have said: If only its verses were expounded (so that we might understand)? What! A foreign tongue and an Arab? - Say unto them (O Muhammad): For those who believe it is a guidance and a healing; and as for those who disbelieve, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness for them. Such are called to from afar.” (41:44) 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:28.279 “And if We had appointed it a Lecture in a foreign tongue they would assuredly have said: If only its verses were expounded (so that we might understand)? What! A foreign tongue and an Arab? - Say unto them (O Muhammad): For those who believe it is a guidance and a healing; and as for those who disbelieve, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness for them. Such are called to from afar.” (41:44) 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:38.409 “And if We had appointed it a Lecture in a foreign tongue they would assuredly have said: If only its verses were expounded (so that we might understand)? What! A foreign tongue and an Arab? - Say unto them (O Muhammad): For those who believe it is a guidance and a healing; and as for those who disbelieve, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness for them. Such are called to from afar.” (41:44) 00:14:38.409 --> 00:14:43.529 And if We had made this Qur'an which We revealed, O Muhammad, in a non-Arabic language. 00:14:43.529 --> 00:14:48.330 Your people would have said, "Why were its proofs and what it contains not made clear?" 00:14:48.330 --> 00:14:51.769 So that we could understand and know what it is and what it contains. 00:14:51.769 --> 00:14:54.490 And they would have said, in denial of it: 00:14:54.490 --> 00:14:56.970 "Is this Qur'an in a non-Arabic language?" 00:14:57.009 --> 00:15:00.539 "While the tongue of the one to whom it was revealed is Arabic?" 00:15:00.539 --> 00:15:02.659 Say, O Muhammad, to them: 00:15:02.659 --> 00:15:07.700 "The Qur'an is for those who believe in Allah and His Messenger, a clarification of the truth." 00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:09.860 And a healing from ignorance. 00:15:09.860 --> 00:15:13.059 And those who do not believe in Allah and His Messenger. 00:15:13.059 --> 00:15:17.340 In their ears is deafness toward listening to this Qur'an. 00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:22.820 And this Qur'an is, for the hearts of those who deny it, a veil. 00:15:22.860 --> 00:15:27.580 So they do not see the proofs against them and the admonitions it contains. 00:15:27.580 --> 00:15:31.259 They are like those who are called from a distant place. 00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:34.019 And did not understand what they were called to. 00:15:34.019 --> 00:15:40.929 And it was said that they will be called on the Day of Resurrection from a distant place. 00:15:40.929 --> 00:15:46.210 And We gave Moses the Book, but it was disputed. 00:15:46.210 --> 00:15:52.409 And had it not been for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them. 00:15:52.409 --> 00:15:59.029 And indeed, they are in doubt about it, in suspicion. 00:15:59.029 --> 00:16:01.789 And We gave Moses the Torah. 00:16:01.789 --> 00:16:06.389 But those who were given it from the Jews differed regarding acting upon what it contained. 00:16:06.389 --> 00:16:10.549 And had it not been for what preceded of the decree of Allah and His judgment regarding them. 00:16:10.549 --> 00:16:14.190 That He delayed their punishment until the Day of Resurrection. 00:16:14.190 --> 00:16:18.990 The matter would have been decided between them by His destroying the falsifiers among them. 00:16:18.990 --> 00:16:23.870 Indeed, the faction among them that follows falsehood is in doubt regarding what they have asserted. 00:16:23.870 --> 00:16:26.149 Their own claims about it cause them uncertainty. 00:16:26.149 --> 00:16:32.279 This is because they spoke without verification, relying merely on conjecture. 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:36.360 Whoever does a righteous deed does so for his own soul. 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:40.879 And whoever does evil, it is against his own soul. 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:47.019 “Whoso doeth right it is for his soul, and whoso doeth wrong it is against it. And thy Lord is not at all a tyrant to His slaves.” (41:46) 00:16:47.059 --> 00:16:50.460 Whoever acts in obedience to Allah in this world, 00:16:50.460 --> 00:16:53.259 does so for the benefit of his own soul. 00:16:53.259 --> 00:16:56.500 For he shall be recompensed for that deed. 00:16:56.500 --> 00:17:00.500 And whoever commits acts of disobedience to Allah, he has committed a crime against his own soul. 00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:03.980 For by doing so, he has brought upon it the wrath of Allah. 00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:10.339 And your Lord, O Muhammad, is not one to bear the punishment for the sin of a sinner upon one who did not commit it. 00:17:10.339 --> 00:17:17.859 Rather, He does not punish anyone except for the crime that he himself has committed. 00:17:17.859 --> 00:17:20.859 This is the summary from the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
