In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari
Surah Fussilat
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
And We appointed for them companions
So they decorated for them what was before them
And what is behind them
They are right to say that
They have the right to say about nations
It had passed away before them
From jinn and humans
They were losers
And We sent them counterparts from the devils
So We made them their companions
We paired them with them
They make their deeds beautiful
So they decorated for them what was before them
From the matter of the world
And they also did good for them after their death
By calling them to deny the Day of Resurrection
And they must be tormented among nations
It had passed before them
They are entitled to our punishment
Like the one who is entitled to these people
Some of them are jinn
Some of them are human
Those nations were fools
By selling them, God was pleased with His displeasure
And those who disbelieved said
Do not listen to this Quran
And err therein that you may prevail
Those who disbelieved in God and His Messenger said:
Do not listen to the reciter of this Qur’an
If he reads it
And do not listen to him
And he distorts falsehood from the statement if he reads it
Perhaps you will do so
You deter anyone who wants to listen to it
He does not hear it
So you defeat Muhammad
So let us taste those who disbelieve
Severe torture
And let us reward them
The worst they used to do
Let us taste those who disbelieve in God
Severe torment in the afterlife
We will reward them for doing so
And others receive the worst punishment for their deeds
What they did in this world
That is the punishment for the enemies of God, Hell
They will have the abode of eternity therein
A recompense for what they denied Our signs
This is the punishment that is given to these people
It is fire
They have a place to stay and stay
We did this we did
As a reward from us for their ungratefulness, our signs
And those who disbelieved said, “Our Lord.”
Show us those who misled us
From jinn and humans
We put them under our feet
To be among the lowest
Those who disbelieved in God and His Messenger said:
O our Lord, show us those who misled us
Who created you from their jinn and made them human?
We make these two those who led us astray
Under our feet
To be in the most severe torment
In the lowest depths of fire
Those who said, “Our Lord is God.”
Then they straightened up
Angels descend upon them
Do not be afraid or beware
And give good tidings of Paradise
Which you were promised
Those who said, “Our Lord is God.”
He is alone and has no partner
Then they adhered to the monotheism of God
Angels descend on them
When death descends upon them
Not to be afraid of what is in front of you
And do not be sad about what you leave behind
And be pleased that in the afterlife you will have Paradise
Which you were promised in this world
We are your guardians
In this life and in the afterlife
You have in it whatever your souls desire
And you have in it whatever you call upon
They came down from the Forgiving, the Most Merciful
We are your guardians, O people, in this worldly life
We were taking care of you
And in the afterlife also, we are your guardians
And in the Hereafter you will have with God whatever your souls desire
Of pleasures and desires
Your Lord gave you that as a revelation for you
From a God who forgives your sins
He is merciful to you to punish you after your repentance
Who is better in speech than he who calls to God?
And he did good
He said that I am a Muslim
O people, who has better words than he who said, “Our Lord is God.”
Then he persisted in believing in him
He called on the servants of God to do what he said and did
He said that I was one of those who submitted to God through obedience
Neither good nor bad are equal
Pay with what is best
So, the one between you and whom there is enmity is as if he were a close friend
Faith in God and acting in obedience to Him are not equal
And polytheism and acting in disobedience to Him
O Muhammad, repel the ignorance of those who ignore you with your dream
He will become your abuser
The one between you and whom there is enmity
As if from his kindness to you and his kindness to you
I have one of your paternal uncles who is close to you
And none will attain it except those who are patient
Only someone with great luck will find it
What is given is repelling bad deeds with good deeds
Except those who are patient for God in the face of hardship and difficult matters
And what happens to this act?
Except one who has a share and has found a great precedent in the blessings
Or he will drive you away from Satan
So seek refuge in God, for He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing
Or Satan will throw us, O Muhammad, into yourself
Whispers of self-talk
The desire to force you to reward evil with evil
So seek refuge in God and refrain from His steps
God is the Hearer to restore you from His whims
And other than what you said
The All-Knowing of the whims He has thrown into your soul
And other matters of yours and the matters of His creation
Among His signs are the night and the day, the sun and the moon
Do not prostrate to the sun or the moon
And they prostrated to God
They prostrated to God who created them
If you worship Him
Among the proofs of God Almighty for His creation is the difference between night and day
And each one of them punishes its owner
And the sun and the moon
Do not prostrate, O people, to the sun or the moon
Even if they occur in astronomy, they will benefit you
They run by God's will, obedient to Him
Not that they are able to walk and run on their own
They prostrated to God, who created night and day, the sun and the moon
If you worship God and submit to Him in obedience
If the polytheists of Quraysh are arrogant, O Muhammad, those whom you are among are polytheists
They were too proud to prostrate to God who created them
The angels who are with your Lord do not inquire about that
And they are not proud of him
Rather, they pray day and night
They do not abandon their worship and do not tire of praying to Him
When We send water down on it, it shakes and shudders
The One who brought it to life erased the dead
He is powerful over all things
It is also God's arguments and evidence for His ability to raise the dead
O Muhammad, you see the earth covered with dust
There is no plant or planting there
When We send down rain from the sky on this earth
It shook with the plant and swelled
He is the one who revived this earth
He is able to revive the dead children of Adam after their death
Your Lord, O Muhammad, is responsible for reviving His creation after their death
And whatever he wants
He is powerful and cannot be prevented from doing anything he wants
Those who deny Our verses are not hidden from Us
Is the one who is thrown into the Fire better or the one who comes safe on the Day of Resurrection?
Do whatever you want. Indeed, He sees what you do
Those who turn away from the truth in our arguments and evidence
We know them and they are not hidden from us
We are on the lookout for them
Is this the one who is thrown into the fire better?
Or the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection safe from God’s punishment because of his faith in God?
If he believes in God's verses and follows God's command
His security on the Day of Resurrection
Do whatever you want
This is also a feast for them
O people, God is your deeds that you do
Experienced and knowledgeable
Nothing is hidden from him or anything else
Those who rejected the remembrance when it came to them
It is a dear book
Falsehood does not come to him from before him or behind him
Download from Hakim Hameed
Those who denied this Qur’an and denied it when it came to them
This memory is a book that is dear to God, as God blesses it
And protect it from anyone who wants to alter or distort it
No false person can change it with his machinations
Changing some of its meanings from what it is
That is what came from before him
Do not add anything that is not part of it to it
And that was coming from behind him
It is a revelation from one who has wisdom under the guidance of his servants
He is praised for his blessings upon them through his hands with them
What is said to you is nothing but what was said to messengers before you
Indeed, your Lord is the Possessor of forgiveness and the Possessor of a painful punishment
What do these lying polytheists tell you?
Except for what the nations before them had said
So be patient with whatever permission you get from them
Indeed, your Lord is willing to forgive the sins of those who repent
It is a painful punishment for those who persist in their disbelief and sins
Even if we made it a foreign Qur’an
They would have said, “If His verses had not been explained in detail.”
Non-Arab and non-Arab
Say: It is a guidance and a cure for those who believe
And those who do not believe, there is deafness in their ears, and it is upon them
They are calling from far away
And if we had made this Qur’an that We revealed, O Muhammad, non-Arab
Your people would have said, Have you not explained its evidence and what is in it?
So we understand it and know what it is and what is in it
And they were saying in denial about it
I translate this Qur’an
The tongue of what was revealed to him is Arabic
Tell them, O Muhammad
The Qur’an is for those who believe in God and His Messenger, an explanation of the truth
And a cure for ignorance
And those who do not believe in God and His Messenger
There is heaviness in their ears from listening to this Qur’an
This Qur’an is on the hearts of those who disbelieve in it and about it
They do not see his arguments against them and his sermons
Understand as with a distant voice calling
He did not understand what was called
It was said that they will call on the Day of Resurrection from a far away place
We gave Moses the Scripture, but they disagreed about it
Had it not been for a word that had preceded from your Lord, it would have been decided between them
And they are in doubt
We gave Moses the Torah
So there was disagreement regarding the work, including those who were given it from the Jews
Were it not for the previous decree and judgment of God over them
He delayed their torment until the Day of Resurrection
To hasten the separation between them by destroying the invalid ones among them
The incorrect group among them is in doubt about what they said about it
What they say about it makes them suspicious
Because they said it without proof, but they said it in conjecture
Whoever does good deeds, it is for himself
And whoever offends her
And your Lord is not unjust to His servants
Whoever works in obedience to God in this world
He did that work for himself
Because he will be punished
And whoever acts in disobedience to God, he will commit sin upon himself
Because he earned her the wrath of God
And your Lord, O Muhammad, does not bear the punishment for a sin committed by someone who did not earn it
Rather, he does not punish anyone except for the crime that he acquired
