WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.160 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.139 --> 00:00:08.039 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:12.740 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammar 00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:16.280 Surah Fussilat 00:00:18.190 --> 00:00:22.050 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:29.120 Say, “Do you disbelieve in Him who created the earth in two days?” 00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:33.619 And you make him equals 00:00:33.939 --> 00:00:37.979 That is the Lord of the worlds 00:00:39.210 --> 00:00:43.409 Say, “Do you disbelieve in Him who created the earth in two days?” 00:00:43.689 --> 00:00:46.490 This is on Sunday and Monday 00:00:46.929 --> 00:00:50.049 And you make equals to those who created this 00:00:50.750 --> 00:00:54.350 Who did this deed and created the earth in two days 00:00:54.710 --> 00:00:57.030 Owner of all jinn and humans 00:00:57.189 --> 00:00:59.149 And all other races of creation 00:00:59.469 --> 00:01:01.950 Everything below it is completely boring 00:01:02.390 --> 00:01:05.109 How is it possible for him to have a rival? 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:10.959 And He placed therein mountains above it 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:15.120 And bless her 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.799 He estimated its sustenance therein 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.840 In four days 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:30.000 In four days, all the same for those who ask 00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:36.239 And He placed mountains in the earth, solid mountains above the earth on its back 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.000 And bless the earth 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.040 So make it always good for its people 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.280 He determined the sustenance of its people on earth 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:48.760 This is what provides them with food and livelihood 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:50.760 In four days 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:55.239 He is emptied of the creation of the earth and all its causes and benefits 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.799 Of trees and water in four days 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.280 The first one is on Sunday 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.879 The last of them is on the fourth day 00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.319 Its sustenances are equal to those who ask for it 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.639 For what they need 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.030 And what works for them 00:02:13.030 --> 00:02:18.770 Then he turned to the sky while it was smoke 00:02:18.770 --> 00:02:24.129 The ruler of the land said to her: They came willingly or unwillingly 00:02:24.129 --> 00:02:29.770 She said: We came obediently 00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:33.319 Then he rose to the sky 00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.199 God said to heaven and earth 00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.159 Bring what I created in you 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.319 As for you, Sky? 00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:46.000 So reveal what I created in you of the sun, moon, and stars 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.240 And as for you, Earth? 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.919 So bring out what I created in you of trees, fruits, and plants 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.580 And break away from the rivers 00:02:55.580 --> 00:02:56.939 She said 00:02:56.939 --> 00:03:00.060 We brought what you created in us 00:03:00.099 --> 00:03:03.139 Responding to your command 00:03:03.139 --> 00:03:07.620 He spent seven heavens in two days 00:03:07.620 --> 00:03:12.300 And He revealed its command to every heaven 00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:19.900 And We adorned the lower heaven with lamps and protection 00:03:19.900 --> 00:03:25.210 That is the appreciation of the Almighty, the All-Knowing 00:03:25.210 --> 00:03:29.729 He created seven heavens in two days 00:03:29.810 --> 00:03:33.090 This is on Thursday and Friday 00:03:33.090 --> 00:03:36.650 And it was cast into each of the seven heavens 00:03:36.650 --> 00:03:39.000 What he wanted from creation 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.439 And We have adorned the lower heaven, O people, with stars 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.439 This is what I described to you 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.120 Appreciation of the Almighty in his vengeance against his enemies 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:54.060 He knows the secrets of His servants and their revelations 00:03:54.060 --> 00:03:58.539 If they turn away, then say, “I warn you about its attack.” 00:03:58.539 --> 00:04:03.379 Such as Saat Ad and Thamud 00:04:03.379 --> 00:04:08.699 When the messengers came to them from before them 00:04:08.699 --> 00:04:10.060 And behind them 00:04:10.060 --> 00:04:13.460 Do not worship anyone but God 00:04:13.460 --> 00:04:19.779 They said: If our Lord had willed, He would have sent down angels 00:04:19.779 --> 00:04:23.060 We will receive what you sent 00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:27.220 If these polytheists turn away from this argument 00:04:27.220 --> 00:04:28.699 So tell them 00:04:28.699 --> 00:04:32.120 I warn you people with a thunderbolt 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.879 You will be destroyed like the thunderbolt of Ad and Thamud 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:40.079 When the messengers came to Ad and Thamud from before them 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.240 They are the messengers who came to their fathers 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.040 And behind them 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.639 And behind the messengers who were sent are messengers 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.759 And behind the messengers who were sent are messengers 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.759 And behind the messengers who were sent are messengers 00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:01.480 The messengers came to them telling them not to worship anyone but God 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.600 They said to their messengers 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.279 If our Lord had willed, we would unite Him 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:09.319 To send down to us angels from heaven 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.480 Message what you are calling us to 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.199 He did not send you while you were human beings like us 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:22.500 For we deny what your Lord has sent you to us with 00:05:22.500 --> 00:05:28.259 As for Aad, they were arrogant on earth without right 00:05:28.259 --> 00:05:32.740 They said: Who is stronger than us? 00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:36.899 Did they not see that it was God who created them? 00:05:36.899 --> 00:05:39.740 He is stronger than them 00:05:39.740 --> 00:05:45.120 And they denied Our signs 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.480 As for 'Ad, the people were Hud 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.759 So they were arrogant before their Lord 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:51.360 And they were forced into the land 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:56.040 So We sent upon them a roaring wind 00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:00.800 In the days we taste them, we will taste them 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.279 They said: Who is stronger than us? 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:07.199 Did they not see that it was God who created them? 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.399 He gave them great character and intensity of brutality 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:12.399 He is stronger than them 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.240 They warn of punishment 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.720 And they denied our evidence and arguments against them 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:27.800 We will make them taste the torment of humiliation in this worldly life 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.959 And the torment of the Hereafter is more humiliating 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.639 And they are not helped 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.810 So We sent a strong wind on Ad 00:06:38.810 --> 00:06:42.089 In bad days 00:06:42.089 --> 00:06:45.250 And Our torment of them in the Hereafter is more shameful 00:06:45.250 --> 00:06:48.370 They are most insulted and humiliated 00:06:48.410 --> 00:06:52.730 And there will be no helper from God on the Day of Resurrection 00:06:52.730 --> 00:06:57.199 As for Thamud, We guided them 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:03.199 So they preferred blindness to guidance 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.759 Then the thunderbolt of humiliating torment seized them 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.120 With what they were earning 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:16.740 And We saved those who believed and feared 00:07:16.740 --> 00:07:18.339 As for Thamud 00:07:18.379 --> 00:07:22.259 So We showed them the path of truth and the path of righteousness 00:07:22.259 --> 00:07:26.379 So they chose misguidance over the clarification that I made clear to them 00:07:26.379 --> 00:07:31.980 So I destroyed them from the humiliating and humiliating torment that humiliated them 00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:36.379 Because of the sins they were earning due to their disbelief in God 00:07:36.379 --> 00:07:39.860 And We saved those who united with God from torment 00:07:39.860 --> 00:07:42.060 And they feared God 00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:47.569 So they believed his messengers and removed the gods and rivals 00:07:47.610 --> 00:07:55.649 And on the day when the enemies of God are gathered to Hell, they will be distributed 00:07:55.649 --> 00:07:59.689 Even if they come to her 00:07:59.689 --> 00:08:08.050 Their hearing and sight bore witness to them 00:08:08.050 --> 00:08:14.180 And their skins for what they used to do 00:08:14.220 --> 00:08:19.699 On the day these polytheists will gather the enemies of God into the fire of hell 00:08:19.699 --> 00:08:22.980 They imprison the first of them over the last 00:08:22.980 --> 00:08:25.779 Even when they come to Hell 00:08:25.779 --> 00:08:30.699 Their hearing testified against them as to what they used to listen to in this world 00:08:30.699 --> 00:08:34.220 And their vision of what they were looking at 00:08:34.220 --> 00:08:38.379 And their skins for what they used to do 00:08:38.379 --> 00:08:43.340 And they said to their skins, “Why did you testify against us?” 00:08:43.340 --> 00:08:50.340 They said, “God, who makes all things speak,” gave us speech 00:08:50.340 --> 00:08:58.139 He created you the first time, and to Him you will be returned 00:08:58.139 --> 00:09:04.419 These are those who will be gathered into the Fire because of their skins when they bear witness against them 00:09:04.419 --> 00:09:08.879 When you witnessed against us what we were doing in this world 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.279 Their skins answered them 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.559 God, who speaks everything, gave us speech 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.120 So we spoke 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:20.679 God created you as the first creation, and you were nothing 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:25.269 And to Him is your fate after your death 00:09:25.269 --> 00:09:31.350 And you were not hiding lest he bear witness against you 00:09:31.350 --> 00:09:37.750 Your hearing, your sight, or your skin 00:09:37.750 --> 00:09:48.159 But you thought that God does not know much of what you do 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.639 And you did not hide anything in this world 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.440 So they abandoned riding God’s prohibitions 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:58.519 Beware that your hearing, sight, and skin bear witness against you 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.000 But you thought, when you rode in this world, that you were disobeying God 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:08.110 God does not know much of what you do 00:10:08.110 --> 00:10:14.269 And that is your assumption that you thought about your Lord that has destroyed you 00:10:14.269 --> 00:10:19.230 So you became among the losers 00:10:19.230 --> 00:10:22.029 This is the belief that you have about your Lord 00:10:22.029 --> 00:10:24.110 He is the one who destroyed you 00:10:24.110 --> 00:10:27.190 Because you dared to violate God’s prohibitions 00:10:27.190 --> 00:10:31.080 Today you have become among the perished 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:37.440 If they are patient, then Hell is their abode 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:44.759 And if they ask for reproach, they are not among those who are blamed 00:10:46.190 --> 00:10:48.789 If these people are patient with the fire 00:10:48.789 --> 00:10:51.029 Fire is their home 00:10:51.029 --> 00:10:56.549 And if they ask that they return to the one they love by easing their torment 00:10:56.549 --> 00:11:00.509 They are not the people who will be returned to Paradise 00:11:00.509 --> 00:11:06.320 The torment they are in will be lightened for them 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:09.679 Conclusion from Tafsir al-Tabrine
