WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.039 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:12.740 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.000 Surat Al-Raad 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:23.620 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:24.730 --> 00:00:32.170 And if he wonders, then their saying is astonishing: “When we are dust.” 00:00:32.490 --> 00:00:37.810 So amazing is their saying, “If we are dust.” 00:00:37.810 --> 00:00:42.289 We are in a new creation 00:00:42.609 --> 00:00:47.810 Those who disbelieved in their Lord 00:00:48.130 --> 00:00:53.490 And those shackles are around their necks 00:00:53.810 --> 00:00:59.969 And those are the companions of the Fire 00:00:59.969 --> 00:01:04.730 They will live there forever 00:01:32.060 --> 00:01:35.819 Those will be the inhabitants of Hell on the Day of Resurrection 00:01:35.819 --> 00:01:38.819 They will remain therein forever 00:01:39.900 --> 00:01:44.340 They ask you to hasten the bad before the good 00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:49.420 Examples of examples have passed away before them 00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:57.859 Indeed, your Lord is willing to forgive people for their injustice 00:01:57.859 --> 00:02:03.780 Indeed, your Lord is severe in punishment 00:02:29.219 --> 00:02:36.229 Indeed, your Lord, O Muhammad, is the Coverer of their actions, whatever they did without my permission 00:02:36.229 --> 00:02:44.120 Indeed, your Lord is severe in punishment for whoever perishes and persists in his disobedience in the Resurrection 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:52.280 And those who disbelieve say, “If only a sign had been sent down to him from his Lord.” 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:57.599 But you are a warner 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.759 And every people has a guide 00:03:03.060 --> 00:03:05.460 And those who disbelieve say 00:03:05.460 --> 00:03:09.740 Should no proof be sent down to Muhammad from his Lord? 00:03:09.740 --> 00:03:13.180 But you, O Muhammad, are a warner to them 00:03:13.180 --> 00:03:16.219 Warn them of God's punishment that will come 00:03:16.219 --> 00:03:21.539 Every people has an imam whom they follow and a guide who precedes them 00:03:21.539 --> 00:03:26.750 He guides them either to good or to evil 00:03:26.789 --> 00:03:31.629 God knows what every female carries 00:03:31.629 --> 00:03:36.830 The wombs do not decrease or increase 00:03:36.830 --> 00:03:42.909 Everything has a measure 00:03:42.909 --> 00:03:51.020 The great, transcendent world of the unseen and the witnessed 00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:54.379 God knows what every female carries 00:03:54.379 --> 00:04:00.539 The wombs do not reduce their pregnancy during the nine months by sending menstrual blood 00:04:00.539 --> 00:04:04.539 Her pregnancy increases over the nine months 00:04:04.539 --> 00:04:07.500 Everything has a measure 00:04:07.500 --> 00:04:11.300 Nothing of his value exceeds his appreciation 00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:16.129 And no matter that He wills and plans falls short of His plan 00:04:16.129 --> 00:04:19.129 God knows what you have missed 00:04:19.129 --> 00:04:23.009 And whatever you saw, you saw with your eyes 00:04:23.050 --> 00:04:25.410 Nothing is hidden from him 00:04:25.410 --> 00:04:28.769 The great one without whom everything is 00:04:28.769 --> 00:04:33.579 The Most High over all things through His power 00:04:33.579 --> 00:04:46.139 Both the one who says it secretly and the one who speaks it out loud 00:04:46.139 --> 00:04:54.680 Who is deceitful at night and stealth during the day? 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:58.319 Moderate in the eyes of God are you, people 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.879 The one who spoke secretly and the one who spoke it out loud 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:06.680 And he who belittles the night in its darkness by disobeying God 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.680 It is visible during the day in its light 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.910 None of this is hidden from him 00:05:13.910 --> 00:05:24.509 He has obstacles in front of him and behind him who protect him from the command of God 00:05:24.550 --> 00:05:34.069 God does not change the condition of a people until He changes what is in themselves 00:05:34.069 --> 00:05:42.949 If God wants evil for a people, there is no turning it back 00:05:42.949 --> 00:05:51.009 And they have no way other than Him 00:05:51.009 --> 00:05:53.649 Either of you people 00:05:53.689 --> 00:05:57.810 Whoever secretly says and whoever declares it openly is before your Lord 00:05:57.810 --> 00:06:02.610 Whoever belittles his immorality and suspicion in the darkness of the night 00:06:02.610 --> 00:06:06.329 And Sarp comes and goes in the light of day 00:06:06.329 --> 00:06:12.970 He is abstained by his soldiers and guards who are pursuing him from in front of him and behind him 00:06:12.970 --> 00:06:19.410 They protect him from those who obey God and prevent him from what comes from that 00:06:19.410 --> 00:06:22.370 And to implement God's punishment for him 00:06:22.370 --> 00:06:26.970 God does not change the well-being and blessings of a people 00:06:26.970 --> 00:06:30.050 He removes that from them and destroys them 00:06:30.050 --> 00:06:35.610 Until they change what is within themselves by oppressing one another 00:06:35.610 --> 00:06:40.029 Then his punishment and change will befall them 00:06:40.029 --> 00:06:47.910 And if God intends for those who belittle the night and steal the day, destruction and disgrace 00:06:47.910 --> 00:06:52.149 No one else can refute that for them 00:06:52.149 --> 00:06:57.790 These people have no guardian who follows them and takes care of their affairs and punishment 00:06:59.389 --> 00:07:10.029 It is He who shows you the lightning for fear and hope and creates the heavy clouds 00:07:10.029 --> 00:07:19.350 The thunder praises Him, the angels praise Him, and He sends lightning bolts 00:07:19.389 --> 00:07:35.910 He sends thunderbolts and strikes with them whomever He wills, while they dispute about God, and He is severe in His impossibility 00:07:35.910 --> 00:07:40.149 The Lord is the one who shows his servants the lightning 00:07:40.149 --> 00:07:43.069 For fear of harm to the traveler 00:07:43.069 --> 00:07:46.829 The resident hopes that it will rain and benefits 00:07:46.990 --> 00:07:53.750 He stirs up the heavy clouds with rain, and causes the thunder to magnify and glorify God 00:07:53.750 --> 00:08:00.550 He praises him for his qualities and exonerates him from what the polytheists have added to him 00:08:00.550 --> 00:08:09.180 The angels glorify God out of fear and awe, and He sends lightning bolts and strikes whomever He wishes with them 00:08:09.180 --> 00:08:13.139 And these are those whom God struck with lightning 00:08:13.220 --> 00:08:20.259 He struck them when they disputed with God Almighty His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:08:20.259 --> 00:08:29.629 By God, it is severe in punishing those who are tyrannical, arrogant, and persistent in their disbelief 00:08:29.629 --> 00:08:43.789 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 00:08:43.830 --> 00:08:52.230 Except as one who extends his hands to the water to reach it, then it is not his reach 00:08:52.230 --> 00:08:59.710 The supplication of the unbelievers is nothing but misguidance 00:09:01.090 --> 00:09:06.129 From His creation belongs the true call, which is the unity of God 00:09:06.129 --> 00:09:11.169 And the gods that the polytheists call lords besides God 00:09:11.210 --> 00:09:15.889 Do not answer them with anything they want from benefit or harm 00:09:15.889 --> 00:09:19.570 Except as it is beneficial for someone to stretch his hands towards water 00:09:19.570 --> 00:09:25.129 She wore them to him without him raising them to him in Inna 00:09:25.129 --> 00:09:33.389 The supplication of one who disbelieves in God is only without integrity or guidance, because he associates others with God 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:45.080 To God prostrates whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly, unwillingly or astray 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:51.440 And they go astray in the mornings and the evenings 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:58.590 If those who call upon idols other than God refuse to release obedience 00:09:58.590 --> 00:10:03.429 To God the honorable angels in the heavens prostrate 00:10:03.629 --> 00:10:07.350 And whoever on earth believes in Him voluntarily 00:10:07.350 --> 00:10:14.309 As for those who disbelieve in Him, they prostrate to Him by force when they are forced to prostrate 00:10:14.309 --> 00:10:20.419 He also prostrates their error in the mornings and evenings 00:10:20.419 --> 00:10:24.139 Say from the Lord of the heavens and the earth 00:10:24.139 --> 00:10:27.019 Say God 00:10:27.019 --> 00:10:32.740 Say: Have you taken guardians besides Him? 00:10:32.740 --> 00:10:43.500 They do not have any benefit or harm for themselves 00:10:43.500 --> 00:10:51.860 Say: Are the blind and the seeing equal, or are darkness and light equal? 00:10:51.860 --> 00:11:00.740 Or did they assign partners to God who created you as His own, so that the creation was similar to them? 00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:09.340 Say: God is the Creator of all things and He is the Promiser, the Supreme 00:11:09.340 --> 00:11:13.179 Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists in God 00:11:13.179 --> 00:11:17.179 From the Lord of the heavens and the earth and its ruler 00:11:17.179 --> 00:11:22.299 So say, “O Muhammad, its Lord is the one who created it and created it.” 00:11:22.299 --> 00:11:27.419 He is the One to whom worship is not appropriate, and He is God 00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:33.500 Tell them: Have you taken guardians other than the Lord of the heavens and the earth? 00:11:33.500 --> 00:11:38.700 They have neither benefit to bring nor harm to repel 00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:42.740 And you abandoned the worship of those in whose hands is both benefit and harm 00:11:42.740 --> 00:11:48.580 Tell them, O Muhammad, is the blind man who does not see anything equal? 00:11:48.580 --> 00:11:52.940 And the one who sees the blind who guides the blind to the path 00:11:52.940 --> 00:11:56.299 They are shapeless and uneven 00:11:56.340 --> 00:12:01.259 Likewise, the believer who sees the truth and follows it is not equal 00:12:01.259 --> 00:12:07.590 And you, O polytheists, do not know the truth and do not see guidance 00:12:07.590 --> 00:12:11.710 Are the darknesses equal to those in which you do not see the way? 00:12:11.710 --> 00:12:15.110 The light by which you see things 00:12:15.110 --> 00:12:17.549 So is disbelief in God 00:12:17.549 --> 00:12:20.590 But his companion was confused about it 00:12:20.590 --> 00:12:25.370 Faith in God is accompanied by him in light 00:12:25.409 --> 00:12:28.889 Say, O Muhammad, these are the polytheists 00:12:28.889 --> 00:12:32.450 I create your idols as God created them 00:12:32.450 --> 00:12:34.929 So you are suspicious of her matter 00:12:34.929 --> 00:12:39.129 So you made them partners for him for that reason 00:12:39.129 --> 00:12:41.289 Tell them, Muhammad 00:12:41.289 --> 00:12:46.889 God is your Creator, the Creator of your idols, and the Creator of everything 00:12:46.889 --> 00:12:49.970 He is the individual who has no second 00:12:49.970 --> 00:12:55.899 The Almighty who deserves divinity and worship 00:12:55.899 --> 00:13:02.220 Water was sent down from the sky 00:13:02.220 --> 00:13:05.899 Valleys flowed as much as they could 00:13:05.899 --> 00:13:09.820 The torrent carried a thick foam 00:13:09.820 --> 00:13:14.139 And from what they kindle in the fire 00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:21.220 Seeking a piece of jewelry or something similar to it 00:13:21.220 --> 00:13:25.740 God also strikes truth and falsehood 00:13:25.740 --> 00:13:31.419 As for the foam, it disappears 00:13:31.419 --> 00:13:39.179 As for what benefits people, it will fail on earth 00:13:39.179 --> 00:13:46.049 God also sets parables 00:13:46.049 --> 00:13:50.210 This is like God striking right and wrong 00:13:50.210 --> 00:13:51.730 Like the truth 00:13:51.730 --> 00:13:55.809 Like water sent down by God from the sky to the earth 00:13:55.809 --> 00:13:58.809 The valleys bore him with their fullness 00:13:58.809 --> 00:14:02.809 The big one is big and the small one is small 00:14:02.809 --> 00:14:06.649 The torrent bore foam rising above the torrent 00:14:06.649 --> 00:14:09.769 The truth is the remaining water 00:14:09.769 --> 00:14:12.570 And foam is falsehood 00:14:12.570 --> 00:14:15.610 Another example of truth and falsehood 00:14:15.610 --> 00:14:20.250 Like silver or gold that people burn in fire 00:14:20.250 --> 00:14:23.929 Asking for a piece of jewelry or belongings to be taken away 00:14:23.970 --> 00:14:27.690 And some of these things they burn 00:14:27.690 --> 00:14:31.490 Foam like the foam of a stream is of no use 00:14:31.490 --> 00:14:34.940 And pure gold and silver remain 00:14:34.940 --> 00:14:38.419 God also represents faith and disbelief 00:14:38.419 --> 00:14:42.019 God also represents truth and falsehood 00:14:42.019 --> 00:14:47.139 As for the foam that is on the stream, the gold and the silver, it will go away 00:14:47.139 --> 00:14:52.049 As for the water that benefits people, it is destroyed on the ground 00:14:52.090 --> 00:14:55.730 Gold and silver remain for the people 00:14:55.730 --> 00:14:59.690 This is also a parable of faith and disbelief 00:14:59.690 --> 00:15:04.190 It also represents proverbs 00:15:04.190 --> 00:15:08.789 For those who responded to their Lord well 00:15:08.789 --> 00:15:11.789 And those who did not respond to him 00:15:11.789 --> 00:15:17.389 If only they had everything on earth 00:15:17.389 --> 00:15:22.750 If only they had everything on earth 00:15:22.750 --> 00:15:26.549 And a similar one with him so that they may seek refuge in him 00:15:26.549 --> 00:15:31.950 Those have bad judgment 00:15:31.950 --> 00:15:35.389 And their abode is Hell 00:15:35.389 --> 00:15:40.169 And miserable is the mulch 00:15:40.169 --> 00:15:45.289 As for those who responded to God, they believed in Him and followed His Messenger 00:15:45.289 --> 00:15:49.070 For theirs is goodness, and it is Paradise 00:15:49.070 --> 00:15:51.710 As for those who did not respond to God 00:15:51.710 --> 00:15:56.110 When he called them to unite him and they did not follow his Messenger 00:15:56.110 --> 00:15:59.669 Even if they had everything on earth 00:15:59.669 --> 00:16:02.549 And the same with him belongs to them 00:16:02.549 --> 00:16:04.909 Then he accepted the same from them 00:16:04.909 --> 00:16:08.669 Instead of the torment that God has prepared for them 00:16:08.669 --> 00:16:11.350 So they ransom themselves with it 00:16:11.350 --> 00:16:15.549 Those are the ones to be punished for all their sins 00:16:15.549 --> 00:16:18.830 They will not be forgiven for any of it 00:16:18.870 --> 00:16:22.230 And their abode on the Day of Resurrection will be Hell 00:16:22.230 --> 00:16:27.840 And miserable is the bed and the lowest place in Hell 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:31.240 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
