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 00:00:08.589 --> 00:00:12.710 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 00:00:14.019 --> 00:00:16.219 Surah Al-Ahqaf 00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:23.660 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:24.390 --> 00:00:26.510 I remember Aad's brother 00:00:26.510 --> 00:00:34.909 When he warned his people about Al-Ahqaf 00:00:34.909 --> 00:00:46.549 The vows came from before him and behind him 00:00:46.549 --> 00:00:49.990 Do not worship anyone but God 00:00:50.469 --> 00:00:56.310 I fear for you the torment of a great day 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.560 And mention, O Muhammad, to your people Hud, brother of Aad 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:06.319 God sent you to them like the one who sent him to Ad 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:09.640 When he warned his people of Aad with Al-Ahqaf 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.000 It is the rectangular sand 00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:14.680 They are their homes 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.959 The messengers proceeded to warn their nations before Hud and after him 00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:24.560 Do you not associate anything with God in your worship of Him? 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.519 I fear for you, people 00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:31.760 For your worship of other than God, God will punish you on a great day 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:33.840 It is the Day of Resurrection 00:01:51.379 --> 00:01:52.900 She said back to Hood 00:01:53.459 --> 00:01:57.659 You have come to us, O Hood, to distract us from worshiping our gods 00:01:57.659 --> 00:02:00.099 To worship what you call us to 00:02:00.659 --> 00:02:03.140 Bring us the torment you prepare for us 00:02:03.140 --> 00:02:05.620 If you are honest in what you say 00:02:07.299 --> 00:02:11.099 He said, “Knowledge is with God.” 00:02:11.099 --> 00:02:19.060 I will inform you of what I was sent with 00:02:19.060 --> 00:02:24.500 But I see that you are an ignorant people 00:02:25.819 --> 00:02:27.379 Hood said to his people 00:02:27.939 --> 00:02:31.180 Knowing the time of the coming is only what I promise you 00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:33.340 From the punishment of God from God 00:02:33.860 --> 00:02:36.900 I only know what he taught me 00:02:37.419 --> 00:02:40.460 But I am a messenger to you conveying information 00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:44.099 I will inform you of the message he sent me 00:02:44.659 --> 00:02:47.340 But I see that you are an ignorant people 00:02:47.340 --> 00:02:49.580 Places of presence of yourselves 00:02:49.979 --> 00:02:52.819 You do not know how harmful it is 00:02:52.819 --> 00:02:55.060 By worshiping other than God 00:02:55.060 --> 00:02:56.860 And in the haste of his torment 00:02:58.139 --> 00:03:03.379 When they saw him projecting the future of their valleys 00:03:03.379 --> 00:03:07.500 They said this is a rainy season 00:03:08.099 --> 00:03:11.340 Rather, it is what you hastened 00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:16.020 A smell in which there is a painful torment 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.960 When the punishment of God, which they had been hastening over, came to them 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:25.759 They saw it as a cloud rising to one side of the sky 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:27.759 The future of their valleys 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.199 They said this is a rainy season 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.520 They thought that rain had come to them to greet them 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:37.039 Hood said 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.199 Rather, it is the torment that you hastened 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.639 Rather, it is a scent containing a painful torment 00:03:45.050 --> 00:03:49.849 She destroys everything at the command of her Lord 00:03:49.849 --> 00:03:53.770 So, no one could see except their dwellings 00:03:54.370 --> 00:03:58.689 Thus We punish the people of criminals 00:04:00.219 --> 00:04:04.740 It destroys everything and destroys it from what it sent to destroy it 00:04:05.419 --> 00:04:08.580 Then the people of Hood were destroyed and destroyed 00:04:09.219 --> 00:04:11.500 Nothing is seen in their country 00:04:11.500 --> 00:04:14.860 Except for the homes they used to live in 00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:19.220 Just as We have rewarded Aad with punishment in the present world 00:04:19.699 --> 00:04:22.579 Thus We reward the people of the disbelievers in God 00:04:22.579 --> 00:04:26.220 If they persist in their transgression and transgress against their Lord 00:04:27.569 --> 00:04:33.569 We have empowered them in what we have empowered you in 00:04:33.569 --> 00:04:36.089 And We made them a hearing 00:04:36.649 --> 00:04:43.250 And We gave them hearing, sight, and hearts 00:04:43.250 --> 00:04:47.689 Their hearing and sight were of no use to them 00:04:47.689 --> 00:04:53.810 And they had nothing in their hearts since they denied 00:04:54.410 --> 00:04:58.129 Because they denied the signs of God 00:04:58.129 --> 00:05:03.850 And what they mocked befell them 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.279 O people, we have empowered Ad 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.079 In what We did not enable you to do in this world 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.839 Because of the abundance of money, the abundance of bodies, and the severity of bodies 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 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.759 And eyes with which they see the arguments of God 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.120 And hearts with which they understand what harms them and benefits them 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.879 What he gave them of hearing, sight, and heart did not benefit them 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:37.199 Because they did not use it to save them from God’s punishment 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.240 Because they were denying God's arguments 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:41.439 They are his messengers 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.240 What they mocked came back to them 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.839 And what they mocked befell them 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.759 So beware lest what happened to Aad happen to you 00:05:52.459 --> 00:05:56.660 We have destroyed the villages around you 00:05:56.660 --> 00:06:01.220 And We explained the verses so that they might return 00:06:02.709 --> 00:06:06.870 O people, we have destroyed the villages around your village 00:06:07.430 --> 00:06:11.189 Like the stone of Thamud, the land of Sodom, Ma'rib, and the like 00:06:11.829 --> 00:06:14.670 We preached to them with various types of sermons and arguments 00:06:15.110 --> 00:06:20.149 To return from what they were doing, to disbelieve in God and His signs 00:06:21.769 --> 00:06:28.889 Had they not been helped by those who took gods as sacrifices other than God 00:06:29.649 --> 00:06:31.610 Rather, they strayed from them 00:06:32.250 --> 00:06:37.089 That is the best of them, and they were not inventing them 00:06:38.860 --> 00:06:41.980 Had it not been for the victory of those whom we destroyed 00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:45.459 Or the second one, the one whose worship they took as an offering 00:06:45.459 --> 00:06:48.620 And whoever draws near to their Lord from us 00:06:49.180 --> 00:06:52.779 When Our punishment comes to them, then You will save them from Our punishment 00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:56.500 Rather, their gods left them and did not respond to them 00:06:57.180 --> 00:07:00.500 That is the lie they were telling 00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:03.620 They say these are our gods 00:07:04.379 --> 00:07:07.220 He is what they used to invent and say 00:07:07.779 --> 00:07:10.180 It brings us closer to God 00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:12.819 She is our intercessor with God 00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:21.699 And when We sent to you a group of jinn listening to the Qur’an 00:07:22.379 --> 00:07:27.100 When they attended him, they said, “Listen.” 00:07:27.699 --> 00:07:34.540 When it was decided, they turned to their people as warnings 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 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 00:07:47.569 --> 00:07:49.089 They said to each other 00:07:49.689 --> 00:07:52.089 Listen to hear the Qur’an 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 00:07:58.490 --> 00:08:01.970 They departed, warning of God’s punishment for disbelieving in Him 00:08:12.250 --> 00:08:22.610 Verifying what is before him, he guides you to the truth and to a straight path 00:08:24.149 --> 00:08:26.189 They said, “Our people are jinn.” 00:08:26.870 --> 00:08:30.870 We heard a book revealed after the book of Moses 00:08:31.470 --> 00:08:35.950 He confirms the previous books of God that He revealed to His messengers 00:08:36.590 --> 00:08:40.110 He guides you to the right path and to the path of foolishness 00:08:40.549 --> 00:08:41.750 It is Islam 00:08:43.070 --> 00:08:49.350 O our people, answer God’s caller and believe in Him and He will forgive you 00:08:49.990 --> 00:08:57.669 He will forgive you of your sins and save you from a painful punishment 00:08:58.269 --> 00:09:03.830 Whoever does not respond to God’s caller is not a miracle on earth 00:09:04.509 --> 00:09:12.269 He is not a miracle on earth, and he has no guardians besides him 00:09:12.870 --> 00:09:18.149 Those are in clear error 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 00:09:26.370 --> 00:09:28.769 And believe him in what he brought to you 00:09:29.250 --> 00:09:33.649 Your Lord will protect you from your sins and cover them for you 00:09:34.289 --> 00:09:39.129 He will save you from a painful torment if you repent of your sins 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? 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 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:57.320 He has no helpers besides his Lord to help him from God if He punishes him 00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:03.360 Those who did not respond to God's caller intentionally oppressed the path 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:06.879 It shows those who contemplate it that it is a misguidance 00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:28.480 Have these deniers not considered God reviving His creation after their death? 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 00:10:34.789 --> 00:10:38.549 He was not aware of their creation, so he was unable to invent them 00:10:39.070 --> 00:10:41.470 He is able to revive the dead 00:10:41.950 --> 00:10:44.870 He brings them out of their graves alive 00:10:45.350 --> 00:10:48.830 He revives the dead and revives the dead 00:10:48.830 --> 00:10:50.230 And he revives the dead 00:10:50.750 --> 00:10:53.309 He brings them out of their graves alive 00:10:54.029 --> 00:10:54.549 Yes 00:10:54.990 --> 00:10:59.110 He has power over everything He created and wanted to do 00:10:59.710 --> 00:11:03.909 He is powerful and nothing can make Him unable, nor can anything make Him weary 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? 00:11:12.820 --> 00:11:15.179 They said, “Yes, by God.” 00:11:15.740 --> 00:11:21.539 He said, “So taste the torment because you disbelieved.” 00:11:22.970 --> 00:11:26.809 And the day those who deny the resurrection will be exposed to the Fire 00:11:27.370 --> 00:11:29.169 They are told then 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? 00:11:36.970 --> 00:11:38.929 These infidels answer 00:11:39.490 --> 00:11:41.409 Yes, it is the truth, by God 00:11:42.129 --> 00:11:44.409 The rapporteur told them so 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 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 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 00:12:09.019 --> 00:12:10.779 Yes 00:12:11.220 --> 00:12:18.100 Will only the disobedient people perish? 00:12:19.700 --> 00:12:23.779 So be patient, O Muhammad, for the harm that befalls you for the sake of God 00:12:24.059 --> 00:12:28.019 The most determined messengers were also patient in carrying out God’s command 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 00:12:34.850 --> 00:12:35.649 And it was said 00:12:35.970 --> 00:12:37.690 Those who have resolve are among them 00:12:38.009 --> 00:12:42.090 They were the ones who tested God's essence in this world through tribulations 00:12:42.610 --> 00:12:46.129 The tribulations only increased them greatly in God’s command 00:12:46.730 --> 00:12:50.210 Like Noah, Abraham, Moses, and others like them 00:12:50.889 --> 00:12:54.610 And do not hasten their punishment by asking your Lord 00:12:55.049 --> 00:12:58.009 This will inevitably happen to them 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 00:13:04.299 --> 00:13:07.820 They only stayed in this world for an hour during the day 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 00:13:15.580 --> 00:13:19.500 This Qur’an is a message to them and sufficient if they consider it 00:13:20.139 --> 00:13:20.899 And it was said 00:13:21.299 --> 00:13:24.820 That is a message to them in this world for their term 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? 00:13:32.379 --> 00:13:37.870 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
