00:02:18.189 --> 00:02:18.789 He said 00:02:19.389 --> 00:02:23.150 I have forgiven them and had mercy on them by My grace and mercy 00:02:23.789 --> 00:02:26.750 Enter Paradise, O people of the norms 00:02:27.389 --> 00:02:31.789 Thereafter, you will have no fear of punishment 00:02:32.349 --> 00:02:36.949 Nor do you grieve over anything you missed in your world 00:02:38.469 --> 00:02:46.669 The inmates of Hell called on the inmates of Paradise to pour water on us 00:02:47.110 --> 00:02:54.909 If you pour water on us or of what God has provided for you 00:02:55.310 --> 00:03:00.990 They said that God forbade them to the unbelievers 00:03:02.539 --> 00:03:05.580 He called out to the companions of the fire after they entered it 00:03:06.020 --> 00:03:08.819 Companions of Paradise after they inhabited it 00:03:09.500 --> 00:03:10.819 O people of Paradise 00:03:11.379 --> 00:03:13.259 They poured water on us 00:03:13.819 --> 00:03:17.379 Or feed us with the food God has provided you with 00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:19.620 The people of Paradise said 00:03:20.449 --> 00:03:25.050 God forbade water and food to those who denied His monotheism 00:03:25.530 --> 00:03:27.650 And they denied His messengers in this world 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:38.639 Those who took their religion as amusement and play, and were deceived by the life of this world 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:46.240 Today we forget them just as they forgot the encounter of this day of theirs 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:51.039 They also forgot the meeting of their day 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:55.400 And they did not deny Our signs 00:03:56.990 --> 00:04:00.270 Those who took their religion as a mockery and a game 00:04:00.750 --> 00:04:03.669 He deceived them and deceived them because of their livelihood 00:04:04.110 --> 00:04:06.750 About taking their share of the afterlife 00:04:07.349 --> 00:04:09.750 On this day is the Day of Resurrection 00:04:10.349 --> 00:04:12.389 We will leave them in the clear torment 00:04:12.909 --> 00:04:15.949 They also left work to meet their day 00:04:16.509 --> 00:04:19.750 And just as they used to deny Our signs 00:04:21.189 --> 00:04:28.350 We brought them a book and explained it with knowledge 00:04:28.829 --> 00:04:36.790 We established it with knowledge, guidance and mercy for a people who believe 00:04:38.269 --> 00:04:42.829 I swear, O Muhammad, we have brought the Qur’an to these people 00:04:43.350 --> 00:04:45.790 Clarifying truth from falsehood 00:04:46.509 --> 00:04:49.750 We are aware of the truth that was decided upon 00:04:50.110 --> 00:04:52.389 From the falsehood in which he was distinguished 00:04:52.990 --> 00:04:57.149 We have made it clear that he may guide and have mercy on people who believe in him 00:04:57.709 --> 00:05:00.750 Through it, he saves them from misguidance to guidance 00:05:02.290 --> 00:05:06.209 Do they only consider its interpretation? 00:05:06.689 --> 00:05:12.769 The day its interpretation comes, those who forgot it before will say 00:05:13.250 --> 00:05:23.329 The messengers of our Lord have come with the truth 00:05:23.810 --> 00:05:32.250 Do we have any intercessors who can intercede for us? 00:05:32.689 --> 00:05:40.009 Then they will intercede for us, or we will be sent back and do something other than what we were doing 00:05:40.610 --> 00:05:48.529 They have lost themselves, and what they were inventing has gone astray from them 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:54.519 Are these polytheists waiting for anything except what their command tells them? 00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.079 From their exposure to God's punishment 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.519 On the day when what their command says will come of God’s punishment 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.720 Those who have wasted what they were commanded to do say 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.519 The messengers of our Lord have come with the truth 00:06:08.490 --> 00:06:13.649 Do we have any friends and guardians today who can intercede for us with our Lord? 00:06:14.089 --> 00:06:17.490 Their intercession will save us from what has befallen us 00:06:18.009 --> 00:06:20.610 Or we return to this world again 00:06:20.930 --> 00:06:23.089 We work on it to his satisfaction 00:06:23.899 --> 00:06:26.139 They have deceived themselves 00:06:26.459 --> 00:06:30.660 By selling them money, he risked eternal bliss in the afterlife 00:06:31.139 --> 00:06:33.740 With the vileness of the fleeting display of the world 00:06:34.379 --> 00:06:39.500 And their friends, who used to worship them instead of God, were terrified of them 00:07:01.810 --> 00:07:05.089 He is your master and the fixer of your affairs, people 00:07:05.689 --> 00:07:07.970 He is the deity to whom worship is due 00:07:08.529 --> 00:07:12.529 Who created the heavens and the earth in six days 00:07:13.209 --> 00:07:14.689 Ten years ago 00:07:15.329 --> 00:07:17.009 And ten years 00:07:17.649 --> 00:07:19.610 And ten years 00:07:20.129 --> 00:07:22.540 And ten years 00:07:22.980 --> 00:07:24.300 And ten years 00:07:24.860 --> 00:07:26.420 And ten years 00:07:26.899 --> 00:07:28.540 And ten years 00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:30.620 And ten years 00:07:30.699 --> 00:07:32.339 Lays down land in six days 00:07:33.060 --> 00:07:34.579 Then he ascended to the throne 00:07:35.220 --> 00:07:37.180 Night turns into day 00:07:37.579 --> 00:07:38.779 So he wears it 00:07:39.100 --> 00:07:41.459 Until his gaze and light are gone 00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:44.420 The night quickly demands the day 00:07:45.180 --> 00:07:47.579 He created the sun, moon, and stars 00:07:48.339 --> 00:07:49.579 God commanded them 00:07:49.980 --> 00:07:51.100 So I obeyed his command 00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:53.579 Indeed, all creation belongs to God 00:07:54.060 --> 00:07:56.779 It is something that cannot be contradicted or rejected 00:07:56.779 --> 00:08:03.779 Blessed be God, our God, to whom everything is worshiped, Lord of the Worlds 00:08:03.779 --> 00:08:17.310 Pray to your Lord humbly and secretly. He does not like aggressors 00:08:17.310 --> 00:08:21.310 O people, pray to your Lord in humility and submissiveness 00:08:21.310 --> 00:08:26.310 And secretly, with the humility of your hearts, not openly or hypocritically 00:08:26.310 --> 00:08:35.309 Your Lord does not love someone who transgresses and exceeds the limit that he has set for his servants in his supplication and asking his Lord 00:08:35.309 --> 00:08:54.980 And do not cause corruption in the land after it has been put in order, and call upon Him in fear and hope. Indeed, God’s mercy is close to those who do good 00:08:54.980 --> 00:09:02.620 Do not associate anything with God on earth and do not disobey Him on it after God has restored it 00:09:02.620 --> 00:09:06.620 By sending messengers as preachers of the truth 00:09:06.620 --> 00:09:12.620 And pray and work sincerely for him, fearing his punishment and hoping for his reward 00:09:12.620 --> 00:09:18.620 The reward of God, which He promised the doers of good, is near to them 00:09:18.620 --> 00:09:39.230 It is He who sends the winds bringing good news before His mercy, until when they carry heavy clouds, we drive them to a dead land 00:09:39.230 --> 00:10:00.389 So We sent down water with it, and brought forth with it all kinds of fruits. Thus We bring forth the dead, so that you may remember 00:10:02.190 --> 00:10:09.190 It is He who sends the winds bringing good news of rain before His mercy and creates heavy clouds with them 00:10:09.190 --> 00:10:19.190 Even if God carried it, God would send it to revive a dead country, and He would send down rain on it and bring forth all kinds of fruits 00:10:19.190 --> 00:10:26.190 Just as we revive this dead country, so we bring the dead out of their graves alive 00:10:26.190 --> 00:10:35.190 So that you may consider and learn that whoever has the power to do so, it is within his power to revive the dead after they have perished 00:10:36.190 --> 00:10:54.149 And the good land brings forth its vegetation by the permission of its Lord, and the bad one does not come forth except with distress. Thus We convey the signs to a people who are grateful. 00:10:55.889 --> 00:11:05.889 And the country has good soil. Its plants grow when God sends down rain, with His permission, and its fruit is good in its season and time. 00:11:05.889 --> 00:11:15.889 And he who is wicked and spoils the soil does not produce his plants except with hardship and hardship. Thus We explain verse after verse 00:11:15.889 --> 00:11:26.889 We give example after example of people who thank God for bestowing guidance upon them and enlightening them on the path of the people of misguidance. 00:11:26.889 --> 00:11:36.889 This is a parable that God strikes for the believer and the unbeliever. The good country that grows plants with the permission of its Lord is a parable for the believer 00:11:36.889 --> 00:11:42.889 And the one who is evil does not produce his plants except in disrepair, like an unbeliever 00:11:46.779 --> 00:12:03.779 We said to Noah to his people, and he said, “O my people, Abdullah, you have no god other than Him. I fear for you the torment of a great day.” 00:12:03.779 --> 00:12:14.419 Our Lord swore that He sent Noah to his people and said to those of them who disbelieved, O my people, the servant of God is His, to whom worship belongs 00:12:14.419 --> 00:12:23.419 For you do not have a deity that requires you to worship other than Him, so I fear for you if you do not do that 00:12:23.419 --> 00:12:30.419 The torment of a day in which your affliction will be great by coming to you out of the wrath of your Lord 00:12:30.419 --> 00:12:40.320 The leaders of his people said, “We see you in clear error.” 00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:53.960 The group of men from Noah’s people said, “Indeed, we see you, O Noah, in a matter that departs from the truth. Its departure from the true intention is clear to those who contemplate it.” 00:12:53.960 --> 00:13:04.700 He said, “O my people, I am not misguided, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds.” 00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:15.179 Noah said, “O my people, why did I command you to profess monotheism for God out of my abandonment of the truth and misguidance from the path of truth?” 00:13:15.179 --> 00:13:25.179 But I am a messenger to you from the Lord of the Worlds, acknowledging His oneness and disavowal of equals and gods 00:13:25.179 --> 00:13:36.039 I convey to you the messages of my Lord and advise you, and I know from God what you do not know 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:49.549 He sent me to you, for I convey to you the messages of my Lord and advise you in warning you of God’s punishment, and I know from God what you do not know. 00:13:49.549 --> 00:13:54.549 That his punishment will not be averted from the criminal people 00:13:54.549 --> 00:14:16.769 Or do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord about a man from among you to warn you and that you may fear, and that you may receive mercy? 00:14:16.769 --> 00:14:27.500 Or do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from God and an admonition with a man from among you to warn you of God’s punishment and to make you fear His punishment? 00:14:27.500 --> 00:14:34.500 And so that you may fear God’s punishment and punishment, and may your Lord have mercy on you if you areware of His punishment 00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:56.460 But they denied him, so We saved him and those with him in the ark, and We drowned those who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a blind people. 00:14:56.460 --> 00:15:15.740 So Noah's people lied and disobeyed the command of their Lord, so God saved him in the ark and those with him who believed in him, and We drowned those who denied his arguments, if they were a people blind to the truth. 00:15:15.740 --> 00:15:19.740 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
