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
Surat Al-Raad
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
And if he wonders, then their saying is astonishing: “When we are dust.”
So amazing is their saying, “If we are dust.”
We are in a new creation
Those who disbelieved in their Lord
And those shackles are around their necks
And those are the companions of the Fire
They will live there forever
Those will be the inhabitants of Hell on the Day of Resurrection
They will remain therein forever
They ask you to hasten the bad before the good
Examples of examples have passed away before them
Indeed, your Lord is willing to forgive people for their injustice
Indeed, your Lord is severe in punishment
Indeed, your Lord, O Muhammad, is the Coverer of their actions, whatever they did without my permission
Indeed, your Lord is severe in punishment for whoever perishes and persists in his disobedience in the Resurrection
And those who disbelieve say, “If only a sign had been sent down to him from his Lord.”
But you are a warner
And every people has a guide
And those who disbelieve say
Should no proof be sent down to Muhammad from his Lord?
But you, O Muhammad, are a warner to them
Warn them of God's punishment that will come
Every people has an imam whom they follow and a guide who precedes them
He guides them either to good or to evil
God knows what every female carries
The wombs do not decrease or increase
Everything has a measure
The great, transcendent world of the unseen and the witnessed
God knows what every female carries
The wombs do not reduce their pregnancy during the nine months by sending menstrual blood
Her pregnancy increases over the nine months
Everything has a measure
Nothing of his value exceeds his appreciation
And no matter that He wills and plans falls short of His plan
God knows what you have missed
And whatever you saw, you saw with your eyes
Nothing is hidden from him
The great one without whom everything is
The Most High over all things through His power
Both the one who says it secretly and the one who speaks it out loud
Who is deceitful at night and stealth during the day?
Moderate in the eyes of God are you, people
The one who spoke secretly and the one who spoke it out loud
And he who belittles the night in its darkness by disobeying God
It is visible during the day in its light
None of this is hidden from him
He has obstacles in front of him and behind him who protect him from the command of God
God does not change the condition of a people until He changes what is in themselves
If God wants evil for a people, there is no turning it back
And they have no way other than Him
Either of you people
Whoever secretly says and whoever declares it openly is before your Lord
Whoever belittles his immorality and suspicion in the darkness of the night
And Sarp comes and goes in the light of day
He is abstained by his soldiers and guards who are pursuing him from in front of him and behind him
They protect him from those who obey God and prevent him from what comes from that
And to implement God's punishment for him
God does not change the well-being and blessings of a people
He removes that from them and destroys them
Until they change what is within themselves by oppressing one another
Then his punishment and change will befall them
And if God intends for those who belittle the night and steal the day, destruction and disgrace
No one else can refute that for them
These people have no guardian who follows them and takes care of their affairs and punishment
It is He who shows you the lightning for fear and hope and creates the heavy clouds
The thunder praises Him, the angels praise Him, and He sends lightning bolts
He sends thunderbolts and strikes with them whomever He wills, while they dispute about God, and He is severe in His impossibility
The Lord is the one who shows his servants the lightning
For fear of harm to the traveler
The resident hopes that it will rain and benefits
He stirs up the heavy clouds with rain, and causes the thunder to magnify and glorify God
He praises him for his qualities and exonerates him from what the polytheists have added to him
The angels glorify God out of fear and awe, and He sends lightning bolts and strikes whomever He wishes with them
And these are those whom God struck with lightning
He struck them when they disputed with God Almighty His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
By God, it is severe in punishing those who are tyrannical, arrogant, and persistent in their disbelief
To Him belongs the call of truth, and those they call upon other than Him do not respond to them with anything except as one who spreads out His hands
Except as one who extends his hands to the water to reach it, then it is not his reach
The supplication of the unbelievers is nothing but misguidance
From His creation belongs the true call, which is the unity of God
And the gods that the polytheists call lords besides God
Do not answer them with anything they want from benefit or harm
Except as it is beneficial for someone to stretch his hands towards water
She wore them to him without him raising them to him in Inna
The supplication of one who disbelieves in God is only without integrity or guidance, because he associates others with God
To God prostrates whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly, unwillingly or astray
And they go astray in the mornings and the evenings
If those who call upon idols other than God refuse to release obedience
To God the honorable angels in the heavens prostrate
And whoever on earth believes in Him voluntarily
As for those who disbelieve in Him, they prostrate to Him by force when they are forced to prostrate
He also prostrates their error in the mornings and evenings
Say from the Lord of the heavens and the earth
Say God
Say: Have you taken guardians besides Him?
They do not have any benefit or harm for themselves
Say: Are the blind and the seeing equal, or are darkness and light equal?
Or did they assign partners to God who created you as His own, so that the creation was similar to them?
Say: God is the Creator of all things and He is the Promiser, the Supreme
Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists in God
From the Lord of the heavens and the earth and its ruler
So say, “O Muhammad, its Lord is the one who created it and created it.”
He is the One to whom worship is not appropriate, and He is God
Tell them: Have you taken guardians other than the Lord of the heavens and the earth?
They have neither benefit to bring nor harm to repel
And you abandoned the worship of those in whose hands is both benefit and harm
Tell them, O Muhammad, is the blind man who does not see anything equal?
And the one who sees the blind who guides the blind to the path
They are shapeless and uneven
Likewise, the believer who sees the truth and follows it is not equal
And you, O polytheists, do not know the truth and do not see guidance
Are the darknesses equal to those in which you do not see the way?
The light by which you see things
So is disbelief in God
But his companion was confused about it
Faith in God is accompanied by him in light
Say, O Muhammad, these are the polytheists
I create your idols as God created them
So you are suspicious of her matter
So you made them partners for him for that reason
Tell them, Muhammad
God is your Creator, the Creator of your idols, and the Creator of everything
He is the individual who has no second
The Almighty who deserves divinity and worship
Water was sent down from the sky
Valleys flowed as much as they could
The torrent carried a thick foam
And from what they kindle in the fire
Seeking a piece of jewelry or something similar to it
God also strikes truth and falsehood
As for the foam, it disappears
As for what benefits people, it will fail on earth
God also sets parables
This is like God striking right and wrong
Like the truth
Like water sent down by God from the sky to the earth
The valleys bore him with their fullness
The big one is big and the small one is small
The torrent bore foam rising above the torrent
The truth is the remaining water
And foam is falsehood
Another example of truth and falsehood
Like silver or gold that people burn in fire
Asking for a piece of jewelry or belongings to be taken away
And some of these things they burn
Foam like the foam of a stream is of no use
And pure gold and silver remain
God also represents faith and disbelief
God also represents truth and falsehood
As for the foam that is on the stream, the gold and the silver, it will go away
As for the water that benefits people, it is destroyed on the ground
Gold and silver remain for the people
This is also a parable of faith and disbelief
It also represents proverbs
For those who responded to their Lord well
And those who did not respond to him
If only they had everything on earth
And a similar one with him so that they may seek refuge in him
Those have bad judgment
And their abode is Hell
And miserable is the mulch
As for those who responded to God, they believed in Him and followed His Messenger
For theirs is goodness, and it is Paradise
As for those who did not respond to God
When he called them to unite him and they did not follow his Messenger
Even if they had everything on earth
And the same with him belongs to them
Then he accepted the same from them
Instead of the torment that God has prepared for them
So they ransom themselves with it
Those are the ones to be punished for all their sins
They will not be forgiven for any of it
And their abode on the Day of Resurrection will be Hell
And miserable is the bed and the lowest place in Hell
