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-Shammar 00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:15.919 Surat Hud 00:00:18.379 --> 00:00:22.539 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.800 And to Thamud, their brother Salih 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:33.320 He said, O people of Abdullah, you have no god other than Him 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.719 He created you from the earth 00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:39.880 And colonize you there 00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:47.759 So ask Him for forgiveness and then repent to Him 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:53.869 Indeed, my Lord is near and responds 00:00:55.219 --> 00:00:58.420 We sent their brother Salih to Thamud 00:00:58.859 --> 00:01:00.020 He said to them 00:01:00.500 --> 00:01:03.700 O my people, Abdullah is alone and has no partner 00:01:04.019 --> 00:01:08.459 You have no god other than Him that requires you to worship 00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:11.299 He began your creation from the earth 00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:13.980 And He made you a building therein 00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:17.379 And I will dwell you therein for the days of your life 00:01:17.939 --> 00:01:22.700 Do something that will cause God to cover your sins 00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:26.700 Then they abandoned deeds that your Lord hates 00:01:27.140 --> 00:01:30.780 Indeed, my Lord is close to those to whom I devote sincere worship 00:01:31.180 --> 00:01:33.060 And he wanted him to repent 00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:35.659 He responds to him if he calls him 00:01:37.459 --> 00:01:45.060 They said, “O Saleh, you were among us as a hope before this.” 00:01:45.500 --> 00:01:51.379 Do you forbid us to worship what our fathers worshiped? 00:01:51.379 --> 00:01:54.299 We are in doubt 00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:02.879 There is no doubt about what you are calling us to 00:02:04.379 --> 00:02:07.060 Thamud said in favor of their Prophet 00:02:07.739 --> 00:02:14.620 O Saleh, we had hoped that you would be our master before this statement that you said to us 00:02:15.099 --> 00:02:18.139 That we have no god but God 00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:23.719 Do you forbid us to worship the gods that our fathers worshiped? 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:29.039 We do not know the validity of what you call us to regarding the Oneness of God 00:02:30.469 --> 00:02:39.110 He said, “O my people, have you seen if I am upon clear proof from my Lord?” 00:02:39.110 --> 00:02:48.550 And He has given me mercy from Him. Who will help me from God if I disobey Him? 00:02:49.030 --> 00:02:53.750 You give me nothing but loss 00:02:55.509 --> 00:02:57.150 Saleh said to his people 00:02:57.669 --> 00:03:03.069 O my people, have you seen if I have proof and clarification from God that I have known? 00:03:03.550 --> 00:03:07.110 He gave me prophecy, wisdom, and Islam 00:03:07.710 --> 00:03:12.870 Who will protect me from his punishment if he punishes me if I disobey him? 00:03:13.509 --> 00:03:17.229 You do not add to me the excuse you use 00:03:17.629 --> 00:03:21.349 Because you worship what your fathers worshiped 00:03:21.750 --> 00:03:26.349 Without losing you, it will make you lose your chances of God’s mercy 00:03:27.740 --> 00:03:32.340 O my people, this she-camel of God is a sign for you 00:03:32.900 --> 00:03:39.300 So leave it to eat on God’s earth and do not touch it with harm 00:03:39.780 --> 00:03:47.780 And do not touch her with any harm, lest a near punishment overtake you 00:03:49.250 --> 00:03:56.169 O my people, this is God’s she-camel for you as an excuse and a sign of the truth of what I am calling you to 00:03:56.729 --> 00:03:59.090 So leave it and eat it on God’s earth 00:03:59.610 --> 00:04:02.689 You are not responsible for its sustenance or provision 00:04:03.330 --> 00:04:06.530 And do not kill her, nor kill her with a slave 00:04:07.090 --> 00:04:09.569 If you touch her with evil 00:04:10.009 --> 00:04:14.530 A punishment from God will seize you not far away and destroy you 00:04:16.019 --> 00:04:23.220 So they licked it, and he said, “Enjoy yourselves in your home for three days.” 00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:27.579 Then Thamud hampered God’s she-camel, and Saleh said to them 00:04:29.220 --> 00:04:33.540 Enjoy your life in the abode of the world for three days 00:04:34.100 --> 00:04:38.019 This term is a promise from God in which He has not lied to you 00:04:38.420 --> 00:04:42.300 He promised you that it would end with destruction and the descent of torment 00:04:42.980 --> 00:04:50.180 When our command came, we saved Salih 00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:58.379 We saved Salih and those who believed with him by mercy from us 00:04:58.779 --> 00:05:03.939 With mercy from us and from shame on that day 00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:10.100 Your Lord is the Powerful, the Mighty 00:05:11.310 --> 00:05:13.790 When Thamud came, our punishment came 00:05:14.310 --> 00:05:17.350 We saved Salih 00:05:17.509 --> 00:05:19.949 When Thamud came, our punishment came 00:05:20.509 --> 00:05:26.350 We saved Salih and those who believed in him with the grace and favor of God 00:05:26.949 --> 00:05:29.750 And We saved them from the humiliation of that day 00:05:30.470 --> 00:05:33.029 Your Lord is powerful in His oppression 00:05:33.629 --> 00:05:38.149 The Mighty One cannot be overcome by a victor, nor can he be defeated by a conqueror 00:05:39.910 --> 00:05:47.910 Those who had wronged received a cry and became crouched in their homes 00:05:48.389 --> 00:05:51.110 As if they didn't sing it 00:05:51.509 --> 00:05:59.550 Indeed, Thamud increased their Lord, except for Thamud 00:06:01.089 --> 00:06:06.810 And those who did what they had no right to do, including tying God’s screaming she-camel, were afflicted 00:06:07.370 --> 00:06:12.129 Deaths have crippled them and left them dormant in their annihilation 00:06:12.569 --> 00:06:15.850 As if they did not live in it or live in it 00:06:16.410 --> 00:06:20.529 Indeed, Thamud multiplied the signs of their Lord, but they denied them 00:06:21.129 --> 00:06:25.649 May God not send Thamud far away because torment will befall them 00:06:27.050 --> 00:06:34.730 Our messengers brought Abraham good news, and they said, “Peace.” 00:06:35.170 --> 00:06:44.490 He said, “Peace.” He soon brought a young calf 00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:50.420 Our messengers from the angels came to Abraham with good news 00:06:51.060 --> 00:06:53.060 So they greeted him 00:06:53.579 --> 00:06:57.060 Ibrahim said to them: Peace be upon you 00:06:57.620 --> 00:07:00.779 He soon brought a calf that had been roasted 00:07:01.980 --> 00:07:07.819 When he saw their hands not reaching him, he hated them 00:07:08.180 --> 00:07:11.579 We hate them and are afraid of them 00:07:11.980 --> 00:07:18.899 They said, “Do not be afraid, for we have been sent to the people of Lut.” 00:07:20.370 --> 00:07:25.529 When Abraham saw that their hands could not reach the calf that he had brought to them 00:07:26.009 --> 00:07:26.850 We hate them 00:07:27.610 --> 00:07:30.649 Their abstention from eating it was reprehensible 00:07:31.250 --> 00:07:35.129 He felt in himself fear of them and harbored it 00:07:35.889 --> 00:07:40.250 The angels said do not be afraid of us and be safe 00:07:40.850 --> 00:07:45.009 We are the angels of your Lord sent to the people of Lut 00:07:47.009 --> 00:08:04.370 And his wife stood and laughed, so we gave her the good news of Isaac, and after Isaac, Jacob 00:08:06.110 --> 00:08:09.949 His wife Sarah was standing behind the curtain 00:08:10.509 --> 00:08:14.430 You hear the words of the messengers and the words of Abraham, peace be upon him 00:08:15.189 --> 00:08:19.029 It was said that she was serving the messengers 00:08:19.790 --> 00:08:27.230 I laughed and was astonished at the heedlessness of the people of Lut about the punishment of God that surrounded them and their neglect of it 00:08:27.910 --> 00:08:33.029 So We gave good news to Sarah, Abraham’s wife, that Isaac would be her son 00:08:33.710 --> 00:08:37.830 Ishaq's successor is Yaqoub, through her son Ishaq 00:08:39.620 --> 00:08:47.740 She said, “Woe to me, should I give birth when I am old, and this is my husband who is old?” 00:08:48.220 --> 00:08:52.899 This is a strange thing 00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:57.460 They said, “Are you amazed at God’s command?” 00:08:57.860 --> 00:09:03.379 May God’s mercy and blessings be upon you, family 00:09:03.379 --> 00:09:10.179 He is Praiseworthy and Glorious 00:09:12.019 --> 00:09:18.940 Sarah said, “Woe to me, should I give birth when I am old, and this is my husband who is old?” 00:09:19.460 --> 00:09:26.259 That a boy like me and my husband is at the age we are is a strange thing 00:09:27.179 --> 00:09:33.179 The messengers said to her, “Are you amazed at what God has commanded to happen?” 00:09:33.740 --> 00:09:37.940 May God’s mercy and happiness be upon you, the family of Abraham 00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:42.419 God is praiseworthy in His bestowal of blessings upon you 00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:48.100 And over all His creation He is full of glory, praise, and generous praise 00:10:04.210 --> 00:10:13.009 When the fear that had been instilled in him by Our messengers went away from Abraham 00:10:13.490 --> 00:10:15.889 The skin came to him with Isaac 00:10:16.370 --> 00:10:21.490 It was said that the skin came to him because they did not want it 00:10:22.009 --> 00:10:26.610 He continued to quarrel with us regarding the people of Lot in order to avert their torment 00:10:27.129 --> 00:10:29.490 Abraham is slow to anger 00:10:30.009 --> 00:10:32.450 Abraham is slow to anger 00:10:32.889 --> 00:10:35.490 Submissive to his Lord, submissive to Him 00:10:35.970 --> 00:10:37.330 Submissive to his command 00:10:37.730 --> 00:10:39.730 Return to obedience 00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:00.340 And the messengers said 00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:04.299 Leave aside arguing and quarreling about their affairs 00:11:04.899 --> 00:11:08.179 For the command of your Lord has come to punish them 00:11:08.820 --> 00:11:13.899 And the people of Lot were subjected to an unrepellent punishment from God 00:11:15.460 --> 00:11:22.860 And when our messengers came to Lot, he was displeased with them 00:11:23.379 --> 00:11:28.100 Bad for them and fed up with them 00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:32.259 He said this is a difficult day 00:11:33.769 --> 00:11:38.049 When our angels came to Lot, their coming displeased him 00:11:38.570 --> 00:11:41.409 He was saddened by their arrival 00:11:42.009 --> 00:11:45.570 This is because he did not know that they were messengers of God 00:11:46.250 --> 00:11:50.370 He learned from his people what they were doing in terms of committing immoral acts 00:11:51.169 --> 00:11:54.450 He was fed up with their arrival 00:11:55.090 --> 00:11:58.809 He knew that he would need to defend his guests 00:11:59.529 --> 00:12:05.210 He said: This day is a day of severe evil and great calamity 00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:11.039 His people came running to him 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:15.720 Before, they used to do bad deeds 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:22.919 He said, “O my people, these are my daughters. They are more pure for you.” 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:27.679 So fear God and do not be disgraced by my guest 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:32.679 Isn't there a rational man among you? 00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.519 Lot and his people came urging him 00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:42.440 They thunder at the speed of their walking, which makes them want immoral things 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.720 And before, they used to come to men in their backs 00:12:47.580 --> 00:12:52.980 Lot said, “O my people, these are the women of my nation, so marry them.” 00:12:53.460 --> 00:12:57.220 They are purer for you than what you want from immorality 00:12:57.940 --> 00:13:01.220 So fear God, O people, and beware of His punishment 00:13:01.860 --> 00:13:08.340 And do not humiliate me by riding from me to my guests what they hate for you to ride from them 00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:14.100 Isn't there a man of sound mind among you who would forbid any of my guests who want to commit indecency? 00:13:14.539 --> 00:13:16.860 It prevents them from doing so 00:13:18.549 --> 00:13:28.350 They said, “You know what right we have over your daughters, and you know what we want.” 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:31.120 Lot's people said 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:38.519 You know, O Lot, what right we have over your daughters, because they are not our husbands 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:47.440 O Lot, you know that our need is in something other than your daughters, and that what we want is what you forbid us from 00:13:48.899 --> 00:13:58.379 He said, "If only I had power over you or sheltered myself in a strong corner." 00:13:59.730 --> 00:14:01.250 Lot said to his people 00:14:02.009 --> 00:14:06.289 If only I had power over you with supporters that would help me against you 00:14:06.730 --> 00:14:08.409 And agents help me 00:14:08.889 --> 00:14:12.970 Or be joined to a clan that prevents me from joining you 00:14:13.529 --> 00:14:18.730 I settled among you and while you came to seek him from me in my hospitality 00:14:20.299 --> 00:14:28.419 They said, “O Lot, we are messengers of your Lord, and they will not reach you.” 00:14:28.940 --> 00:14:38.019 So go with your family for a part of the night, and none of you will turn around except your wife 00:14:38.620 --> 00:14:42.980 It is their misfortune that has befallen them 00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:50.820 Their time is dawn. Isn't dawn near? 00:14:52.250 --> 00:14:54.169 The angels said to Lot 00:14:54.889 --> 00:14:59.289 O Lot, we are messengers of your Lord sent to destroy them 00:14:59.929 --> 00:15:03.529 They will not harm you or your guest 00:15:04.090 --> 00:15:05.730 It's up to you 00:15:06.490 --> 00:15:11.090 So get out from among them, you and your family, with the rest of the night 00:15:11.809 --> 00:15:15.049 And none of you will pay attention except your wife 00:15:15.769 --> 00:15:18.289 For Lot had taken it out with him 00:15:18.929 --> 00:15:23.610 He forbade Lot and those with him from turning around except his wife 00:15:24.289 --> 00:15:26.889 And she turned around and perished because of that 00:15:27.610 --> 00:15:31.809 Your wife will be afflicted with the same torment that afflicted your people 00:15:32.529 --> 00:15:35.250 The time for your people to perish is morning 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.320 So Lot took their time and said to them 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.639 Rather, they hastened their destruction 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:45.519 They said, “Isn’t the morning near?” 00:15:47.190 --> 00:15:54.350 When Our command came, We made the high in it the low 00:15:54.909 --> 00:16:00.629 We made its high its low and rained stones upon it 00:16:01.190 --> 00:16:09.750 We rained down upon it stones of compacted shale 00:16:10.350 --> 00:16:13.590 Marked by your Lord 00:16:14.309 --> 00:16:19.830 And she is not far from the wrongdoers 00:16:21.309 --> 00:16:23.750 And when he came, he ordered us to be punished 00:16:24.309 --> 00:16:27.029 We made the high of their village low 00:16:27.710 --> 00:16:31.590 And We sent upon them stones of clay arranged in arrays 00:16:32.149 --> 00:16:33.870 A teacher with God 00:16:34.590 --> 00:16:38.669 What are these stones that rained down on the people of Lot? 00:16:39.149 --> 00:16:43.629 From the polytheists of your people, O Muhammad, it is far from raining on it 00:16:43.990 --> 00:16:46.269 Unless they repent of their polytheism 00:16:48.850 --> 00:16:51.529 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
