WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.160 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.150 --> 00:00:08.050 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:12.740 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:15.820 Surah Al-Kahf 00:00:18.410 --> 00:00:22.289 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.109 --> 00:00:30.309 He said, “Did I not tell you that you would not be able to be patient with me?” 00:00:30.629 --> 00:00:43.250 He said, "If I ask you about anything after that, do not accompany me. I have received an excuse from me." 00:00:44.770 --> 00:00:54.810 The scholar said to Moses, “Did I not tell you that you will not be able to be patient with me over the actions you see that I have not known about?” 00:00:54.810 --> 00:01:06.359 Moses said to him: If I ask you about something after this time and you leave me, do not keep me company, for I have reached an excuse in my affairs. 00:01:25.859 --> 00:01:47.260 So Moses and the scholar set off until when they came to the people of a town, the people of which were seeking food for themselves, but they did not feed them. They hosted them, but they refused to host them. 00:01:47.769 --> 00:01:54.969 They found a wall in the village that wanted to fall, so they adjusted its slope until it was back level 00:01:55.769 --> 00:02:05.290 Musa said to his companion, “If you wish, you will not protect her from the people’s loyalty until they give you a reward for your stay.” 00:02:06.659 --> 00:02:16.259 He said, “This is a separation between you and me. I will inform you about sheltering yourself for what you could not bear patiently.” 00:02:17.500 --> 00:02:34.379 The companion of Musa said: If you had wished, you could have taken a reward for him that would be divided between you and me. I will tell you what he will say to him about the consequences of the actions that you did, but you were not able to patiently refrain from asking about them. 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:54.680 As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea, so I wanted to destroy it. There was a king behind them who seized every ship by force 00:02:55.659 --> 00:03:14.300 As for what I did to the ship, it was because it belonged to poor people working at sea, so I wanted to spoil it with rags. There was a king in front of them who forcibly took every healthy ship and left every defective one. 00:03:15.930 --> 00:03:25.689 As for the boy, his parents were believers, so we feared that he would lead them to rebellion and disbelief 00:03:26.090 --> 00:03:35.210 So we wanted their Lord to replace them with something better in purity and closer in compassion 00:03:36.389 --> 00:03:49.349 As for the boy, he was born an unbeliever on the day he was born, and his parents were believers, so we know that he overwhelms them with transgression and arrogance against God and disbelief in Him. 00:03:49.909 --> 00:04:01.430 So we wanted their Lord to replace them with something better than the boy, more righteous and pious, and more merciful to his parents and more kind to them than the boy who was killed. 00:04:01.430 --> 00:04:32.279 As for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and underneath it was a treasure of theirs, and their father was righteous, so your Lord wanted them to reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:41.319 And what you did about my matter is the interpretation of what you did not gain patience with 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:54.439 As for the wall that I built, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and under it was hidden money, and their father was righteous 00:04:55.079 --> 00:05:05.959 So your Lord wanted to comprehend and attain their strength and strength, and then extract their treasure hidden under the wall that you had erected. 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:11.079 You did this with the wall as a mercy from your Lord for the orphans 00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:17.879 And I did not do, O Musa, all that you saw me do on my own mind and on my own 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:22.040 But I did it as God commanded me to do it 00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:29.800 This is what I mentioned to you among the reasons for which I did the actions that you denounced from me 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.240 It is actually healthy 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.199 And it leads to the right outcome 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:41.720 Who was not able to patiently abandon your question and your denial of it 00:05:43.060 --> 00:05:47.860 And they ask you about Dhul-Qarnayn 00:05:48.180 --> 00:05:52.579 Say, “I will recite to you a remembrance of it.” 00:06:06.009 --> 00:06:14.810 Indeed, We established him on earth and gave him a means for everything 00:06:15.209 --> 00:06:17.209 So I follow a reason 00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:33.829 Until when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring 00:06:34.310 --> 00:06:38.870 And he found people there 00:06:39.350 --> 00:06:48.230 We said, O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you will be punished or you will take people therein 00:06:48.470 --> 00:07:00.920 Until Dhul-Qarnayn reached the setting of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of hot, muddy water 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:03.480 And he found people there 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:11.399 We said, O Dhul-Qarnayn, either kill them, because they did not enter into acknowledging the monotheism of God 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:17.000 Or you capture them and teach them guidance and enlighten them 00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:35.060 He said: As for whoever is unjust, we will punish him, then he will be returned to his Lord and He will punish him with a terrible punishment 00:07:35.459 --> 00:07:43.139 As for whoever believes and does righteousness, he will receive the reward of good deeds 00:07:43.459 --> 00:07:47.459 We will tell him that our affairs will be easy 00:07:48.870 --> 00:07:57.589 He said: As for whoever disbelieves, we will kill him, then he will return to God and He will punish him with a great punishment 00:07:57.910 --> 00:07:59.910 That is the torment of Hell 00:08:00.550 --> 00:08:05.110 As for those of them who believe in God alone and act in obedience to Him 00:08:05.589 --> 00:08:09.589 He has good deeds from God as a reward for his faith 00:08:10.069 --> 00:08:16.550 We will teach him in this world what is easy for us to teach, which will bring him closer to God 00:08:16.709 --> 00:08:18.709 He softens his words 00:08:20.060 --> 00:08:23.579 Then follow a reason 00:08:23.980 --> 00:08:34.860 Until, when he reached the rising of the sun, he found it rising upon a people for whom We had not given any protection other than it 00:08:35.179 --> 00:08:40.299 Also, we have been informed of what he has 00:08:41.740 --> 00:08:46.139 Then Dhul-Qarnayn walked and took roads and houses in the land 00:08:46.620 --> 00:08:49.100 Even when it reaches sunrise 00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:56.059 Dhul-Qarnayn found the sun rising over a people for whom We had not given any cover other than it 00:08:56.460 --> 00:09:00.220 This is because their land has neither mountains nor trees 00:09:00.700 --> 00:09:03.820 It cannot bear a building, so they live in houses 00:09:04.379 --> 00:09:09.019 Rather, they sink into the water or leak in swarms 00:09:09.740 --> 00:09:13.419 Then he followed a path until he reached the rising of the sun 00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:16.940 He also followed a path and reached the setting of the sun 00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:20.940 We have taken note of what happens when the sun rises 00:09:21.419 --> 00:09:26.220 It is not hidden from us what exists among people, their conditions, and their causes 00:09:26.700 --> 00:09:28.460 And nothing else 00:09:30.169 --> 00:09:43.370 Then he followed a path until, when he reached between the two dams, he found besides them a people whose speech could hardly be trusted 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:52.120 Then he walked along paths and paths, until he reached two mountains with a dam between them 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:58.679 He found, apart from the two masters, a people who did not understand the words of any speaker other than their own words 00:10:00.259 --> 00:10:18.659 They said, O Dhul-Qarnayn, Gog and Magog are wreaking havoc on earth. Shall we grant you a tax on the condition that you put a barrier between us and them? 00:10:19.590 --> 00:10:40.549 They said, O Dhul-Qarnayn, that Gog and Magog, two nations behind the dam, will spread corruption on earth. Should we make a barrier for you such that you place between us and Gog and Magog a barrier that will block us and them and prevent them from coming out to us? 00:10:41.830 --> 00:10:55.750 He said: “Whatever my Lord has empowered me with is good, so help me with strength, and I will create a bridge between you and them.” 00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:15.159 Dhul-Qarnayn said, “Who enabled me to do what you asked of me, and to bridge between you and these people, my Lord, and granting him peace for me and my strength over him, is better than making you, and the reward you offer me for building that.” 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:26.679 But appoint me craftsmen who can build and work well. I will put between you and Gog and Magog a wall stronger and stronger than a dam. 00:11:45.960 --> 00:12:13.610 Dhul-Qarnayn said, “Blow me with pieces of iron until he leveled the two mountains with the iron rods he placed between them. He said to the workers, ‘Blow fire on these iron rods.’ They blew until he made what was between the tops and sides of the two mountains fire.” He said, ‘Give me that I may pour copper on it.’” 00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:36.379 Gog and Magog were not able to rise above the rubble that Dhul-Qarnayn had made as a barrier between them and the people below them, and they were not able to excavate it from below. 00:12:49.029 --> 00:13:17.929 When Dhul-Qarnayn saw that Gog and Magog were unable to reveal what we had built of the ruins and were unable to excavate it, he said, “This is what I built and leveled as a mercy from my Lord. He had mercy on it without the ruins of the people, so He helped me with His mercy for them until I built it and leveled it.” 00:13:17.929 --> 00:13:38.929 So when the promise of my Lord, which He made as a time for the emergence of this nation and its emergence, comes, He will fill it with the earth and give it to him. And the promise of my Lord, who promised His creation, is true in destroying this land and its emergence. O people of the people, He will not break His promise.
