1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,039 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 3 00:00:08,589 --> 00:00:12,710 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 4 00:00:14,019 --> 00:00:16,219 Surah Al-Ahqaf 5 00:00:18,780 --> 00:00:23,660 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 6 00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:26,510 I remember Aad's brother 7 00:00:26,510 --> 00:00:34,909 When he warned his people about Al-Ahqaf 8 00:00:34,909 --> 00:00:46,549 The vows came from before him and behind him 9 00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:49,990 Do not worship anyone but God 10 00:00:50,469 --> 00:00:56,310 I fear for you the torment of a great day 11 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,560 And mention, O Muhammad, to your people Hud, brother of Aad 12 00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:06,319 God sent you to them like the one who sent him to Ad 13 00:01:06,879 --> 00:01:09,640 When he warned his people of Aad with Al-Ahqaf 14 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,000 It is the rectangular sand 15 00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:14,680 They are their homes 16 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,959 The messengers proceeded to warn their nations before Hud and after him 17 00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:24,560 Do you not associate anything with God in your worship of Him? 18 00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:27,519 I fear for you, people 19 00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:31,760 For your worship of other than God, God will punish you on a great day 20 00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:33,840 It is the Day of Resurrection 21 00:01:51,379 --> 00:01:52,900 She said back to Hood 22 00:01:53,459 --> 00:01:57,659 You have come to us, O Hood, to distract us from worshiping our gods 23 00:01:57,659 --> 00:02:00,099 To worship what you call us to 24 00:02:00,659 --> 00:02:03,140 Bring us the torment you prepare for us 25 00:02:03,140 --> 00:02:05,620 If you are honest in what you say 26 00:02:07,299 --> 00:02:11,099 He said, “Knowledge is with God.” 27 00:02:11,099 --> 00:02:19,060 I will inform you of what I was sent with 28 00:02:19,060 --> 00:02:24,500 But I see that you are an ignorant people 29 00:02:25,819 --> 00:02:27,379 Hood said to his people 30 00:02:27,939 --> 00:02:31,180 Knowing the time of the coming is only what I promise you 31 00:02:31,180 --> 00:02:33,340 From the punishment of God from God 32 00:02:33,860 --> 00:02:36,900 I only know what he taught me 33 00:02:37,419 --> 00:02:40,460 But I am a messenger to you conveying information 34 00:02:40,460 --> 00:02:44,099 I will inform you of the message he sent me 35 00:02:44,659 --> 00:02:47,340 But I see that you are an ignorant people 36 00:02:47,340 --> 00:02:49,580 Places of presence of yourselves 37 00:02:49,979 --> 00:02:52,819 You do not know how harmful it is 38 00:02:52,819 --> 00:02:55,060 By worshiping other than God 39 00:02:55,060 --> 00:02:56,860 And in the haste of his torment 40 00:02:58,139 --> 00:03:03,379 When they saw him projecting the future of their valleys 41 00:03:03,379 --> 00:03:07,500 They said this is a rainy season 42 00:03:08,099 --> 00:03:11,340 Rather, it is what you hastened 43 00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:16,020 A smell in which there is a painful torment 44 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,960 When the punishment of God, which they had been hastening over, came to them 45 00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:25,759 They saw it as a cloud rising to one side of the sky 46 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,759 The future of their valleys 47 00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:31,199 They said this is a rainy season 48 00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:35,520 They thought that rain had come to them to greet them 49 00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:37,039 Hood said 50 00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:40,199 Rather, it is the torment that you hastened 51 00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:43,639 Rather, it is a scent containing a painful torment 52 00:03:45,050 --> 00:03:49,849 She destroys everything at the command of her Lord 53 00:03:49,849 --> 00:03:53,770 So, no one could see except their dwellings 54 00:03:54,370 --> 00:03:58,689 Thus We punish the people of criminals 55 00:04:00,219 --> 00:04:04,740 It destroys everything and destroys it from what it sent to destroy it 56 00:04:05,419 --> 00:04:08,580 Then the people of Hood were destroyed and destroyed 57 00:04:09,219 --> 00:04:11,500 Nothing is seen in their country 58 00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:14,860 Except for the homes they used to live in 59 00:04:15,620 --> 00:04:19,220 Just as We have rewarded Aad with punishment in the present world 60 00:04:19,699 --> 00:04:22,579 Thus We reward the people of the disbelievers in God 61 00:04:22,579 --> 00:04:26,220 If they persist in their transgression and transgress against their Lord 62 00:04:27,569 --> 00:04:33,569 We have empowered them in what we have empowered you in 63 00:04:33,569 --> 00:04:36,089 And We made them a hearing 64 00:04:36,649 --> 00:04:43,250 And We gave them hearing, sight, and hearts 65 00:04:43,250 --> 00:04:47,689 Their hearing and sight were of no use to them 66 00:04:47,689 --> 00:04:53,810 And they had nothing in their hearts since they denied 67 00:04:54,410 --> 00:04:58,129 Because they denied the signs of God 68 00:04:58,129 --> 00:05:03,850 And what they mocked befell them 69 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,279 O people, we have empowered Ad 70 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,079 In what We did not enable you to do in this world 71 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,839 Because of the abundance of money, the abundance of bodies, and the severity of bodies 72 00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:20,399 And We made for them a hearing aid by which they may hear the promises of their Lord 73 00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:23,759 And eyes with which they see the arguments of God 74 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,120 And hearts with which they understand what harms them and benefits them 75 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,879 What he gave them of hearing, sight, and heart did not benefit them 76 00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:37,199 Because they did not use it to save them from God’s punishment 77 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,240 Because they were denying God's arguments 78 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,439 They are his messengers 79 00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:44,240 What they mocked came back to them 80 00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:46,839 And what they mocked befell them 81 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,759 So beware lest what happened to Aad happen to you 82 00:05:52,459 --> 00:05:56,660 We have destroyed the villages around you 83 00:05:56,660 --> 00:06:01,220 And We explained the verses so that they might return 84 00:06:02,709 --> 00:06:06,870 O people, we have destroyed the villages around your village 85 00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:11,189 Like the stone of Thamud, the land of Sodom, Ma'rib, and the like 86 00:06:11,829 --> 00:06:14,670 We preached to them with various types of sermons and arguments 87 00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:20,149 To return from what they were doing, to disbelieve in God and His signs 88 00:06:21,769 --> 00:06:28,889 Had they not been helped by those who took gods as sacrifices other than God 89 00:06:29,649 --> 00:06:31,610 Rather, they strayed from them 90 00:06:32,250 --> 00:06:37,089 That is the best of them, and they were not inventing them 91 00:06:38,860 --> 00:06:41,980 Had it not been for the victory of those whom we destroyed 92 00:06:41,980 --> 00:06:45,459 Or the second one, the one whose worship they took as an offering 93 00:06:45,459 --> 00:06:48,620 And whoever draws near to their Lord from us 94 00:06:49,180 --> 00:06:52,779 When Our punishment comes to them, then You will save them from Our punishment 95 00:06:53,620 --> 00:06:56,500 Rather, their gods left them and did not respond to them 96 00:06:57,180 --> 00:07:00,500 That is the lie they were telling 97 00:07:01,060 --> 00:07:03,620 They say these are our gods 98 00:07:04,379 --> 00:07:07,220 He is what they used to invent and say 99 00:07:07,779 --> 00:07:10,180 It brings us closer to God 100 00:07:10,620 --> 00:07:12,819 She is our intercessor with God 101 00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:21,699 And when We sent to you a group of jinn listening to the Qur’an 102 00:07:22,379 --> 00:07:27,100 When they attended him, they said, “Listen.” 103 00:07:27,699 --> 00:07:34,540 When it was decided, they turned to their people as warnings 104 00:07:36,250 --> 00:07:41,290 And when We sent to you, O Muhammad, a group of jinn listening to the Qur’an 105 00:07:42,009 --> 00:07:46,889 When they attended the Qur’an and the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was reading 106 00:07:47,569 --> 00:07:49,089 They said to each other 107 00:07:49,689 --> 00:07:52,089 Listen to hear the Qur’an 108 00:07:52,850 --> 00:07:57,889 When the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, finished reciting the Qur’an 109 00:07:58,490 --> 00:08:01,970 They departed, warning of God’s punishment for disbelieving in Him 110 00:08:12,250 --> 00:08:22,610 Verifying what is before him, he guides you to the truth and to a straight path 111 00:08:24,149 --> 00:08:26,189 They said, “Our people are jinn.” 112 00:08:26,870 --> 00:08:30,870 We heard a book revealed after the book of Moses 113 00:08:31,470 --> 00:08:35,950 He confirms the previous books of God that He revealed to His messengers 114 00:08:36,590 --> 00:08:40,110 He guides you to the right path and to the path of foolishness 115 00:08:40,549 --> 00:08:41,750 It is Islam 116 00:08:43,070 --> 00:08:49,350 O our people, answer God’s caller and believe in Him and He will forgive you 117 00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:57,669 He will forgive you of your sins and save you from a painful punishment 118 00:08:58,269 --> 00:09:03,830 Whoever does not respond to God’s caller is not a miracle on earth 119 00:09:04,509 --> 00:09:12,269 He is not a miracle on earth, and he has no guardians besides him 120 00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:18,149 Those are in clear error 121 00:09:19,889 --> 00:09:25,850 O our people, respond to the Messenger of God, Muhammad, to what he calls you to do in terms of obedience to God 122 00:09:26,370 --> 00:09:28,769 And believe him in what he brought to you 123 00:09:29,250 --> 00:09:33,649 Your Lord will protect you from your sins and cover them for you 124 00:09:34,289 --> 00:09:39,129 He will save you from a painful torment if you repent of your sins 125 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:46,720 O people, who does not respond to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, Muhammad, to the Oneness of God? 126 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,519 It is not a miracle for his Lord to be dazzled by him if He wanted to punish him 127 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,320 He has no helpers besides his Lord to help him from God if He punishes him 128 00:09:57,919 --> 00:10:03,360 Those who did not respond to God's caller intentionally oppressed the path 129 00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:06,879 It shows those who contemplate it that it is a misguidance 130 00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:28,480 Have these deniers not considered God reviving His creation after their death? 131 00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:34,389 So they will see and know that it is God who created the seven heavens and the earth 132 00:10:34,789 --> 00:10:38,549 He was not aware of their creation, so he was unable to invent them 133 00:10:39,070 --> 00:10:41,470 He is able to revive the dead 134 00:10:41,950 --> 00:10:44,870 He brings them out of their graves alive 135 00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:48,830 He revives the dead and revives the dead 136 00:10:48,830 --> 00:10:50,230 And he revives the dead 137 00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:53,309 He brings them out of their graves alive 138 00:10:54,029 --> 00:10:54,549 Yes 139 00:10:54,990 --> 00:10:59,110 He has power over everything He created and wanted to do 140 00:10:59,710 --> 00:11:03,909 He is powerful and nothing can make Him unable, nor can anything make Him weary 141 00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:12,220 And the day those who disbelieve will be exposed to the Fire, is this not the truth? 142 00:11:12,820 --> 00:11:15,179 They said, “Yes, by God.” 143 00:11:15,740 --> 00:11:21,539 He said, “So taste the torment because you disbelieved.” 144 00:11:22,970 --> 00:11:26,809 And the day those who deny the resurrection will be exposed to the Fire 145 00:11:27,370 --> 00:11:29,169 They are told then 146 00:11:29,730 --> 00:11:36,250 Isn't this the torment that you are tormenting while you used to deny the truth about it in this world? 147 00:11:36,970 --> 00:11:38,929 These infidels answer 148 00:11:39,490 --> 00:11:41,409 Yes, it is the truth, by God 149 00:11:42,129 --> 00:11:44,409 The rapporteur told them so 150 00:11:45,049 --> 00:11:50,690 So taste the torment of the Fire now for what you denied and denied in this world 151 00:11:52,059 --> 00:11:58,740 So be patient as those of resolve among the messengers were patient, and do not rush them 152 00:11:59,340 --> 00:12:08,340 It is as if, on the day they see what they are promised, they have only stayed for an hour in the day 153 00:12:09,019 --> 00:12:10,779 Yes 154 00:12:11,220 --> 00:12:18,100 Will only the disobedient people perish? 155 00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:23,779 So be patient, O Muhammad, for the harm that befalls you for the sake of God 156 00:12:24,059 --> 00:12:28,019 The most determined messengers were also patient in carrying out God’s command 157 00:12:28,419 --> 00:12:34,139 Among his messengers whom he did not prohibit from influencing his command was the severity of it that befell them 158 00:12:34,850 --> 00:12:35,649 And it was said 159 00:12:35,970 --> 00:12:37,690 Those who have resolve are among them 160 00:12:38,009 --> 00:12:42,090 They were the ones who tested God's essence in this world through tribulations 161 00:12:42,610 --> 00:12:46,129 The tribulations only increased them greatly in God’s command 162 00:12:46,730 --> 00:12:50,210 Like Noah, Abraham, Moses, and others like them 163 00:12:50,889 --> 00:12:54,610 And do not hasten their punishment by asking your Lord 164 00:12:55,049 --> 00:12:58,009 This will inevitably happen to them 165 00:12:58,779 --> 00:13:03,860 It is as if they will see the day of the punishment of God, which He promises them that He will bring upon them 166 00:13:04,299 --> 00:13:07,820 They only stayed in this world for an hour during the day 167 00:13:08,460 --> 00:13:14,940 Because He makes them forget the severity of His torment that He will inflict on them for as long as they remained in this world 168 00:13:15,580 --> 00:13:19,500 This Qur’an is a message to them and sufficient if they consider it 169 00:13:20,139 --> 00:13:20,899 And it was said 170 00:13:21,299 --> 00:13:24,820 That is a message to them in this world for their term 171 00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:32,379 Will God destroy with His punishment when He sends it down except the people who disobeyed His command and disbelieved in Him? 172 00:13:32,379 --> 00:13:37,870 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
