00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,399
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

2
00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:08,230
Summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari,

3
00:00:08,230 --> 00:00:12,820
Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari.

4
00:00:12,820 --> 00:00:17,739
Surah Al 'Imran.

5
00:00:17,739 --> 00:00:22,820
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

6
00:00:22,820 --> 00:00:28,820
"They rejoice in glad tidings of favor from Allah and bounty,"

7
00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:35,780
“They rejoice because of favour from Allah and kindness, and that Allah wasteth not the wage of the believers.” (3:171)

8
00:00:35,780 --> 00:00:39,780
Rejoicing in the immense honor He has bestowed upon them,

9
00:00:39,780 --> 00:00:43,780
And in the abundant grace and magnificent reward He has showered upon them,

10
00:00:43,780 --> 00:00:49,780
And because Allah does not invalidate the reward of whoever believes His Messenger and follows him,

11
00:00:49,780 --> 00:00:52,780
And acts in accordance with what he brought from Allah.

12
00:00:52,780 --> 00:01:02,289
“As for those who heard the call of Allah and His messenger after the harm befell them (in the fight); for such of them as do right and ward off (evil), there is great reward.” (3:172)

13
00:01:02,289 --> 00:01:08,290
“As for those who heard the call of Allah and His messenger after the harm befell them (in the fight); for such of them as do right and ward off (evil), there is great reward.” (3:172)

14
00:01:08,290 --> 00:01:12,959
“They rejoice because of favour from Allah and kindness, and that Allah wasteth not the wage of the believers.” (3:171)

15
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:18,959
Those who responded to Allah and the Messenger after being afflicted with wounds and injury;

16
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,959
For those among them who were mindful of Allah and feared Him,

17
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,959
Fulfilling His obligatory duties and obeying Him in His commands and prohibitions,

18
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,959
There will be a magnificent reward.

19
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:43,540
“Those unto whom men said: Lo! the people have gathered against you, therefor fear them. (The threat of danger) but increased the faith of them and they cried: Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust!” (3:173)

20
00:01:43,540 --> 00:01:54,540
“Those unto whom men said: Lo! the people have gathered against you, therefor fear them. (The threat of danger) but increased the faith of them and they cried: Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust!” (3:173)

21
00:01:54,540 --> 00:02:02,079
Those to whom the people said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you troops to confront you,

22
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:06,079
So fear them, for you are no match for them."

23
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:10,080
Yet that only increased them in their unshakeable certainty,

24
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:16,080
And it did not dissuade them from the course the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, had commanded them

25
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,080
To pursue.

26
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,080
Rather, they marched on until they attained Allah's good pleasure through it,

27
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,080
Saying, with firm reliance upon Allah, "Allah is sufficient for us,

28
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,849
And He is the best Guardian for whoever relies on Him and places himself in His care."

29
00:02:29,849 --> 00:02:39,849
“So they returned with grace and favour from Allah, and no harm touched them. They followed the good pleasure of Allah, and Allah is of Infinite Bounty.” (3:174)

30
00:02:39,849 --> 00:02:43,849
"No harm touched them."

31
00:02:43,849 --> 00:02:52,550
“So they returned with grace and favour from Allah, and no harm touched them. They followed the good pleasure of Allah, and Allah is of Infinite Bounty.” (3:174)

32
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:57,550
Thus, those who responded to Allah and the Messenger after being afflicted with wounds returned

33
00:02:57,550 --> 00:03:01,550
From marching in pursuit of their enemy to Hamra' al-Asad,

34
00:03:01,550 --> 00:03:05,550
Safe and sound by the grace of their Lord, having met no enemy,

35
00:03:05,550 --> 00:03:10,550
And earning profits through the trade they engaged in there,

36
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:12,550
In addition to the immense reward they earned.

37
00:03:12,550 --> 00:03:16,550
No harm or injury from their enemy touched them there,

38
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:19,550
And they pleased Allah by their deed,

39
00:03:19,550 --> 00:03:24,550
By obeying His Messenger in his call to pursue the retreating enemy,

40
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:26,550
And by their steadfast obedience.

41
00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:31,550
And Allah is full of bounty and benevolence toward them by turning their enemy away,

42
00:03:31,550 --> 00:03:34,550
Along with countless other favors He conferred upon them,

43
00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:38,550
Immense favors recognized by those among His creation upon whom He bestows them.

44
00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:46,539
“It is only the devil who would make (men) fear his partisans. Fear them not; fear Me, if ye are true believers.” (3:175)

45
00:03:46,539 --> 00:03:56,539
“It is only the devil who would make (men) fear his partisans. Fear them not; fear Me, if ye are true believers.” (3:175)

46
00:03:58,819 --> 00:04:01,819
That statement made to you, O believers,

47
00:04:01,819 --> 00:04:04,819
“Those unto whom men said: Lo! the people have gathered against you, therefor fear them. (The threat of danger) but increased the faith of them and they cried: Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust!” (3:173)

48
00:04:04,819 --> 00:04:07,819
Whereby they tried to frighten you with your enemy's gathered forces,

49
00:04:07,819 --> 00:04:09,819
Was entirely the work of Satan,

50
00:04:09,819 --> 00:04:12,819
Cast onto the tongues of those who said that to you,

51
00:04:12,819 --> 00:04:16,819
Intimidating you with his allies among the polytheists—

52
00:04:16,819 --> 00:04:19,819
Abu Sufyan and his comrades from Quraysh—

53
00:04:19,819 --> 00:04:22,819
So that you would dread them and cowardly retreat before them.

54
00:04:22,819 --> 00:04:25,819
So do not fear the polytheists, O believers,

55
00:04:25,819 --> 00:04:28,819
Nor let their formidable numbers overwhelm you;

56
00:04:28,819 --> 00:04:31,819
But rather fear Me alone, not the polytheists,

57
00:04:31,819 --> 00:04:33,819
Nor any of My creation,

58
00:04:33,819 --> 00:04:35,819
If you truly believe in My Messenger

59
00:04:35,819 --> 00:04:38,819
And in what he brought to you from Me.

60
00:04:38,819 --> 00:04:45,050
“Let not their conduct grieve thee, who run easily to disbelief, for lo! they injure Allah not at all. It is Allah's Will to assign them no portion in the Hereafter, and theirs will be an awful doom.” (3:176)

61
00:04:45,050 --> 00:04:51,050
"Indeed, they will never harm Allah at all."

62
00:04:51,050 --> 00:04:55,050
“Let not their conduct grieve thee, who run easily to disbelief, for lo! they injure Allah not at all. It is Allah's Will to assign them no portion in the Hereafter, and theirs will be an awful doom.” (3:176)

63
00:04:55,050 --> 00:04:57,050
In the Hereafter,

64
00:04:57,050 --> 00:05:01,050
"And for them is a tremendous punishment."

65
00:05:01,050 --> 00:05:03,720
Do not be grieved, O Muhammad,

66
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,720
By the disbelief of those who hasten into disbelief,

67
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,720
Turning back on their heels from among the people of hypocrisy;

68
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,720
For they will never harm Allah

69
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,720
By their hastening into disbelief in the least.

70
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,720
Allah intends to leave for them—

71
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,720
Those who hasten into disbelief—

72
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,720
No share in the reward of the Hereafter;

73
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,720
Therefore, He forsook them,

74
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,720
Leaving them to plunge into it,

75
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,720
And they shall have a tremendous punishment in the Hereafter,

76
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,720
Which is the torment of the Fire.

77
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:38,579
“Those who purchase disbelief at the price of faith harm Allah not at all, but theirs will be a painful doom.” (3:177)

78
00:05:38,579 --> 00:05:42,579
"They will never harm Allah at all,"

79
00:05:42,579 --> 00:05:46,579
"They will never harm Allah at all,"

80
00:05:46,579 --> 00:05:50,579
"And for them is a painful punishment."

81
00:05:50,579 --> 00:05:55,259
Indeed, those who purchased disbelief at the price of faith

82
00:05:55,259 --> 00:05:57,259
And chose disbelief in Allah

83
00:05:57,259 --> 00:06:00,259
And His Messenger in exchange for faith

84
00:06:00,259 --> 00:06:02,259
Will never harm Allah through their disbelief

85
00:06:02,259 --> 00:06:05,259
And apostasy from their faith in the slightest;

86
00:06:05,259 --> 00:06:08,259
Rather, they only harm themselves

87
00:06:08,259 --> 00:06:11,259
By bringing upon themselves an agonizing punishment.

88
00:06:11,259 --> 00:06:15,699
And let not those who disbelieve think

89
00:06:15,699 --> 00:06:20,699
“And let not those who disbelieve imagine that the rein We give them bodeth good unto their souls. We only give them rein that they may grow in sinfulness. And theirs will be a shameful doom.” (3:178)

90
00:06:20,699 --> 00:06:26,699
“And let not those who disbelieve imagine that the rein We give them bodeth good unto their souls. We only give them rein that they may grow in sinfulness. And theirs will be a shameful doom.” (3:178)

91
00:06:26,699 --> 00:06:31,699
"And for them is a humiliating punishment."

92
00:06:31,699 --> 00:06:35,339
Do not think, O Muhammad, that those who disbelieve—

93
00:06:35,339 --> 00:06:38,339
“And let not those who disbelieve imagine that the rein We give them bodeth good unto their souls. We only give them rein that they may grow in sinfulness. And theirs will be a shameful doom.” (3:178)

94
00:06:38,339 --> 00:06:41,339
We only prolong their lifespans

95
00:06:41,339 --> 00:06:43,339
So that they accumulate more sins,

96
00:06:43,339 --> 00:06:45,339
Increasing their misdeeds and multiplying them;

97
00:06:45,339 --> 00:06:49,339
And for these who disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger,

98
00:06:49,339 --> 00:06:53,660
There will be a humiliating and degrading punishment.

99
00:06:53,660 --> 00:06:56,660
“It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.” (3:179)

100
00:06:56,660 --> 00:06:59,660
“It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.” (3:179)

101
00:06:59,660 --> 00:07:03,660
“It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.” (3:179)

102
00:07:03,660 --> 00:07:07,660
“It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.” (3:179)

103
00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:17,660
“It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.” (3:179)

104
00:07:17,660 --> 00:07:20,660
Whom He wills.

105
00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:23,660
"So believe in Allah and His messengers."

106
00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:27,660
"And if you believe and fear Allah,"

107
00:07:27,660 --> 00:07:32,529
"Then for you is a magnificent reward."

108
00:07:32,529 --> 00:07:34,529
Allah was not to leave the believers

109
00:07:34,529 --> 00:07:36,529
“It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.” (3:179)

110
00:07:36,529 --> 00:07:39,529
In a state where the true believer is indistinguishable from the hypocrite among you,

111
00:07:39,529 --> 00:07:42,529
Such that one cannot be known from the other,

112
00:07:42,529 --> 00:07:46,529
Until He separates the hypocrite who conceals disbelief

113
00:07:46,529 --> 00:07:49,529
From the sincere believer of genuine faith

114
00:07:49,529 --> 00:07:51,529
Through trials and tribulations,

115
00:07:51,529 --> 00:07:53,529
Just as He distinguished between them on the day of Uhud

116
00:07:53,529 --> 00:07:55,529
Upon meeting the enemy.

117
00:07:55,529 --> 00:07:57,529
“It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.” (3:179)

118
00:07:57,529 --> 00:08:00,529
The inner secrets of the hearts of His servants,

119
00:08:00,529 --> 00:08:02,529
Such that you could identify the believer among them

120
00:08:02,529 --> 00:08:04,529
From the hypocrite and the disbeliever;

121
00:08:04,529 --> 00:08:06,529
Rather, He distinguishes between them

122
00:08:06,529 --> 00:08:08,529
Through trials and tests.

123
00:08:08,529 --> 00:08:11,529
However, He chooses from His messengers whom He wills,

124
00:08:11,529 --> 00:08:14,529
Selecting him and disclosing to him some of what lies

125
00:08:14,529 --> 00:08:16,529
Within the hearts of certain people,

126
00:08:16,529 --> 00:08:18,529
Through His revelation and message.

127
00:08:18,529 --> 00:08:21,589
So if you believe in whom I have chosen from My messengers

128
00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:24,589
And fear your Lord by obeying Him

129
00:08:24,589 --> 00:08:26,589
In whatever He has commanded you,

130
00:08:26,589 --> 00:08:28,589
And in whatever He has forbidden you,

131
00:08:28,589 --> 00:08:30,589
Then through that faith of yours

132
00:08:30,589 --> 00:08:32,590
And your reverence of your Lord,

133
00:08:32,590 --> 00:08:35,039
You will have a magnificent reward.

134
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,039
"And let not think"

135
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:39,039
"Those who withhold"

136
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,039
"That which Allah has given them"

137
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:43,039
"Of His bounty"

138
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:45,039
"That it is better for them;"

139
00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:47,039
“And let not those who hoard up that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty think that it is better for them. Nay, it is worse for them. That which they hoard will be their collar on the Day of Resurrection. Allah's is the heritage of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is Informed of what ye do.” (3:180)

140
00:08:47,039 --> 00:08:49,039
"They will be collared by"

141
00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:51,039
"What they withheld"

142
00:08:51,039 --> 00:08:53,039
"On the Day of Resurrection."

143
00:08:53,039 --> 00:08:58,039
"And to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth,"

144
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:01,039
"And Allah, of what you do,"

145
00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:03,039
"Is All-Aware."

146
00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:07,029
“And let not those who hoard up that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty think that it is better for them. Nay, it is worse for them. That which they hoard will be their collar on the Day of Resurrection. Allah's is the heritage of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is Informed of what ye do.” (3:180)

147
00:09:07,029 --> 00:09:09,029
From what Allah has granted them in this worldly life

148
00:09:09,029 --> 00:09:11,029
Of wealth,

149
00:09:11,029 --> 00:09:13,029
Such that they do not discharge the due right of Allah

150
00:09:13,029 --> 00:09:15,029
That He made obligatory upon them therein,

151
00:09:15,029 --> 00:09:17,029
Namely the zakat,

152
00:09:17,029 --> 00:09:19,029
That it is good for them before Allah on the Day of Resurrection;

153
00:09:19,029 --> 00:09:21,029
“And let not those who hoard up that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty think that it is better for them. Nay, it is worse for them. That which they hoard will be their collar on the Day of Resurrection. Allah's is the heritage of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is Informed of what ye do.” (3:180)

154
00:09:21,029 --> 00:09:23,029
With Him in the Hereafter.

155
00:09:23,029 --> 00:09:25,029
Allah will make what was withheld by

156
00:09:25,029 --> 00:09:27,029
Those who refuse to pay zakat

157
00:09:27,029 --> 00:09:29,029
A tight collar around their necks,

158
00:09:29,029 --> 00:09:31,029
Resembling the known shackles.

159
00:09:31,029 --> 00:09:33,029
Indeed, He is the Ever-Living Who never dies,

160
00:09:33,029 --> 00:09:35,029
The Everlasting,

161
00:09:35,029 --> 00:09:37,029
Remaining after the passing of all

162
00:09:37,029 --> 00:09:39,029
His creation and after they perish,

163
00:09:39,029 --> 00:09:41,029
When their possessions vanish from them,

164
00:09:41,029 --> 00:09:43,029
And all returns to Allah,

165
00:09:43,029 --> 00:09:45,029
The inheritances of these and all others

166
00:09:45,029 --> 00:09:47,029
Among His creation.

167
00:09:47,029 --> 00:09:49,029
He is Possessor of thorough knowledge and insight,

168
00:09:49,029 --> 00:09:51,029
Encompassing all of that,

169
00:09:51,029 --> 00:09:53,029
Compensating each of them fully

170
00:09:53,029 --> 00:09:55,539
According to what they rightfully deserve.

171
00:09:55,539 --> 00:09:57,539
"Allah has certainly heard"

172
00:09:57,539 --> 00:09:59,539
"The statement of those who said,"

173
00:09:59,539 --> 00:10:01,539
"'Indeed, Allah"

174
00:10:01,539 --> 00:10:03,539
"Is poor, while we"

175
00:10:03,539 --> 00:10:05,539
"Are rich.'"

176
00:10:05,539 --> 00:10:07,539
"We will record what"

177
00:10:07,539 --> 00:10:09,539
"They said and their killing of"

178
00:10:09,539 --> 00:10:11,539
"The prophets"

179
00:10:11,539 --> 00:10:13,539
"Without right,"

180
00:10:13,539 --> 00:10:15,539
"And We will say,"

181
00:10:15,539 --> 00:10:17,539
"And We will say,"

182
00:10:17,539 --> 00:10:19,539
"'Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire.'"

183
00:10:19,539 --> 00:10:21,539
"That is for what"

184
00:10:21,539 --> 00:10:23,539
"Your hands have put forth,"

185
00:10:23,539 --> 00:10:25,539
"And because Allah"

186
00:10:25,539 --> 00:10:27,539
"Is not unjust"

187
00:10:27,539 --> 00:10:29,539
"To His servants."

188
00:10:29,539 --> 00:10:32,759
Allah has certainly heard

189
00:10:32,759 --> 00:10:34,759
The words of the Jews:

190
00:10:34,759 --> 00:10:36,759
"Indeed, Allah is in need of us,

191
00:10:36,759 --> 00:10:38,759
While we are free of any need of Him."

192
00:10:38,759 --> 00:10:40,759
We will record the slander they uttered

193
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:42,759
And their killing of their prophets

194
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:44,759
Without any justification,

195
00:10:44,759 --> 00:10:46,759
And We will say to them:

196
00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:48,759
"Taste the torment of a consuming,

197
00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:50,759
Blazing Fire because of what your hands

198
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:52,759
Committed and earned

199
00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:54,759
During the days of your life

200
00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:57,269
In this world."

201
00:10:57,269 --> 00:10:59,269
"Those who said, 'Indeed,"

202
00:10:59,269 --> 00:11:01,269
"Allah has taken a covenant"

203
00:11:01,269 --> 00:11:03,269
"From us not to believe"

204
00:11:03,269 --> 00:11:05,269
"In a messenger until"

205
00:11:05,269 --> 00:11:07,269
"He brings us an offering"

206
00:11:07,269 --> 00:11:09,269
"Until he brings us"

207
00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:11,269
"An offering"

208
00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:13,269
"Consumed"

209
00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:15,529
"By fire.'"

210
00:11:15,529 --> 00:11:17,529
"Say, 'There already"

211
00:11:17,529 --> 00:11:19,529
"Came"

212
00:11:19,529 --> 00:11:21,529
"Messengers"

213
00:11:21,529 --> 00:11:23,529
"Before me"

214
00:11:23,529 --> 00:11:25,529
"With clear proofs"

215
00:11:25,529 --> 00:11:27,529
"And with that which you said;"

216
00:11:27,529 --> 00:11:29,529
"With clear proofs"

217
00:11:29,529 --> 00:11:31,529
"And with that which you said,"

218
00:11:31,529 --> 00:11:33,529
"So why did you kill them,"

219
00:11:33,529 --> 00:11:35,529
"If you should be"

220
00:11:35,529 --> 00:11:38,139
"Truthful?'"

221
00:11:38,139 --> 00:11:40,139
Those who claimed:

222
00:11:40,139 --> 00:11:42,139
"Allah has enjoined upon us"

223
00:11:42,139 --> 00:11:44,139
"And conveyed to us"

224
00:11:44,139 --> 00:11:46,139
"In His scriptures and through the tongues of His messengers,"

225
00:11:46,139 --> 00:11:48,139
"Not to believe in any messenger"

226
00:11:48,139 --> 00:11:50,139
in what he claims to have brought

227
00:11:50,139 --> 00:11:52,139
from Allah,

228
00:11:52,139 --> 00:11:54,139
of commands, prohibitions, and the like,

229
00:11:54,139 --> 00:11:56,139
until he brings us

230
00:11:56,139 --> 00:11:58,139
an offering consumed by fire."

231
00:11:58,139 --> 00:12:00,139
For the consumption of the sacrifice by fire

232
00:12:00,139 --> 00:12:02,139
in that era

233
00:12:02,139 --> 00:12:04,200
was proof of Allah's acceptance from him.

234
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,200
Say to them:

235
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,200
"Messengers have already come to you before me

236
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,200
with what you claimed

237
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,200
to be conclusive proof against you,

238
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,200
yet you killed them,

239
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,200
even though you acknowledged

240
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,200
that what they brought you

241
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,200
of such signs was indeed

242
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,200
a conclusive proof against you—

243
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,200
if you are truthful that

244
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,200
Allah commanded you

245
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,200
only to believe in whoever brought you,

246
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,200
among His messengers, an offering consumed

247
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,200
by fire as a proof

248
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,970
of his prophethood."

249
00:12:44,970 --> 00:12:46,970
Let it not grieve you, O Muhammad,

250
00:12:46,970 --> 00:12:48,970
that these people lie

251
00:12:48,970 --> 00:12:50,970
and fabricate falsehood against their Lord;

252
00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:52,970
for if they reject you,

253
00:12:52,970 --> 00:12:56,019
their forebears likewise rejected

254
00:12:56,019 --> 00:12:58,019
those who came to them with clear proofs

255
00:12:58,019 --> 00:13:00,019
that eliminated all excuse,

256
00:13:00,019 --> 00:13:02,019
and with every scripture,

257
00:13:02,019 --> 00:13:04,019
having brought the Torah and the Gospel,

258
00:13:04,019 --> 00:13:06,019
which is the illuminating Book—

259
00:13:06,019 --> 00:13:08,019
that sheds light and endures,

260
00:13:08,019 --> 00:13:10,019
continuously enduring,

261
00:13:10,019 --> 00:13:12,019
ever lasting,

262
00:13:12,019 --> 00:13:14,019
ever remaining—

263
00:13:14,019 --> 00:13:16,019
that sheds light and clarifies the truth

264
00:13:16,019 --> 00:13:18,019
for whoever finds it obscured,

265
00:13:18,019 --> 00:13:20,500
making it utterly clear.

266
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:22,500
"Every soul

267
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:24,500
shall taste

268
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:26,500
death,

269
00:13:26,500 --> 00:13:28,500
and you will only be

270
00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:30,500
paid in full

271
00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:32,500
your rewards on the Day of

272
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:34,500
Resurrection.

273
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:36,500
So whoever is drawn away

274
00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:38,500
from the Fire

275
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:40,500
and admitted into Paradise

276
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:42,500
has truly triumphed.

277
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:44,500
And the life of this world is nothing

278
00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:46,500
but the enjoyment

279
00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:48,500
of delusion."

280
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:51,179
Every

281
00:13:51,179 --> 00:13:53,179
single soul among them shall taste

282
00:13:53,179 --> 00:13:55,179
death, and shall be repaid in full

283
00:13:55,179 --> 00:13:57,179
for the recompense of its deeds:

284
00:13:57,179 --> 00:13:59,179
if good, then good;

285
00:13:59,179 --> 00:14:01,269
and if evil, then evil.

286
00:14:01,269 --> 00:14:03,269
So whoever is removed and distanced from the Fire

287
00:14:03,269 --> 00:14:05,269
has attained salvation and secured

288
00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:07,269
his ultimate desire.

289
00:14:07,269 --> 00:14:09,269
For the pleasures and desires of this worldly life are nothing

290
00:14:09,269 --> 00:14:11,269
but a fleeting gratification

291
00:14:11,269 --> 00:14:13,269
granted to you by delusion

292
00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:15,269
and vanishing deception,

293
00:14:15,269 --> 00:14:17,269
which possesses no reality

294
00:14:17,269 --> 00:14:19,269
when put to the test.

295
00:14:19,269 --> 00:14:21,269
Thus, you revel in whatever pleasures

296
00:14:21,269 --> 00:14:23,269
delusion has granted you in your worldly life,

297
00:14:23,269 --> 00:14:25,269
yet it only rebounds upon you

298
00:14:25,269 --> 00:14:27,269
with tragedies, calamities,

299
00:14:27,269 --> 00:14:29,269
and afflictions;

300
00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:32,940
so do not lean towards this fleeting world.

301
00:14:32,940 --> 00:14:34,940
In summary, from the Tafsir

302
00:14:34,940 --> 00:14:36,940
of al-Tabari:
