In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari
Surah Al-A'raf
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
And if their eyes are directed toward the companions of the Fire
They said, “Our Lord, do not place us with the unjust people.”
And if the eyes of the people of Al-A`raf are turned towards the people of Hell
So they looked at God's distortion of them
They said, “Our Lord, do not place us with the wrongdoing people.”
Those who wronged themselves
So they earned them your wrath and inherited from your torment they are in
The people of Al-A'raf called out men they recognized by their marks
They said, “Your gathering is of no use to you, and you were not arrogant.”
The people of Al-A'raf called men from the people of the land
They know them as the people of Hell
They said, “How much money and resources you have accumulated in this world is of no use to you.”
And your arrogance in which you used to be arrogant
Are these whom you swore that God will not receive mercy?
Enter Paradise, and you will have no fear, nor will you grieve
God told the arrogant people about acknowledging the oneness of God
O giants of the world
Are these weak people whom you swore that God would not have mercy on them?
He said
I have forgiven them and had mercy on them by My grace and mercy
Enter Paradise, O people of the norms
Thereafter, you will have no fear of punishment
Nor do you grieve over anything you missed in your world
The inmates of Hell called on the inmates of Paradise to pour water on us
If you pour water on us or of what God has provided for you
They said that God forbade them to the unbelievers
He called out to the companions of the fire after they entered it
Companions of Paradise after they inhabited it
O people of Paradise
They poured water on us
Or feed us with the food God has provided you with
The people of Paradise said
God forbade water and food to those who denied His monotheism
And they denied His messengers in this world
Those who took their religion as amusement and play, and were deceived by the life of this world
Today we forget them just as they forgot the encounter of this day of theirs
They also forgot the meeting of their day
And they did not deny Our signs
Those who took their religion as a mockery and a game
He deceived them and deceived them because of their livelihood
About taking their share of the afterlife
On this day is the Day of Resurrection
We will leave them in the clear torment
They also left work to meet their day
And just as they used to deny Our signs
We brought them a book and explained it with knowledge
We established it with knowledge, guidance and mercy for a people who believe
I swear, O Muhammad, we have brought the Qur’an to these people
Clarifying truth from falsehood
We are aware of the truth that was decided upon
From the falsehood in which he was distinguished
We have made it clear that he may guide and have mercy on people who believe in him
Through it, he saves them from misguidance to guidance
Do they only consider its interpretation?
The day its interpretation comes, those who forgot it before will say
The messengers of our Lord have come with the truth
Do we have any intercessors who can intercede for us?
Then they will intercede for us, or we will be sent back and do something other than what we were doing
They have lost themselves, and what they were inventing has gone astray from them
Are these polytheists waiting for anything except what their command tells them?
From their exposure to God's punishment
On the day when what their command says will come of God’s punishment
Those who have wasted what they were commanded to do say
The messengers of our Lord have come with the truth
Do we have any friends and guardians today who can intercede for us with our Lord?
Their intercession will save us from what has befallen us
Or we return to this world again
We work on it to his satisfaction
They have deceived themselves
By selling them money, he risked eternal bliss in the afterlife
With the vileness of the fleeting display of the world
And their friends, who used to worship them instead of God, were terrified of them
He is your master and the fixer of your affairs, people
He is the deity to whom worship is due
Who created the heavens and the earth in six days
Ten years ago
And ten years
Lays down land in six days
Then he ascended to the throne
Night turns into day
So he wears it
Until his gaze and light are gone
The night quickly demands the day
He created the sun, moon, and stars
God commanded them
So I obeyed his command
Indeed, all creation belongs to God
It is something that cannot be contradicted or rejected
Blessed be God, our God, to whom everything is worshiped, Lord of the Worlds
Pray to your Lord humbly and secretly. He does not like aggressors
O people, pray to your Lord in humility and submissiveness
And secretly, with the humility of your hearts, not openly or hypocritically
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
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
Do not associate anything with God on earth and do not disobey Him on it after God has restored it
By sending messengers as preachers of the truth
And pray and work sincerely for him, fearing his punishment and hoping for his reward
The reward of God, which He promised the doers of good, is near to them
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
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
It is He who sends the winds bringing good news of rain before His mercy and creates heavy clouds with them
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
Just as we revive this dead country, so we bring the dead out of their graves alive
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
And the one who is evil does not produce his plants except in disrepair, like an unbeliever
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.”
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
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
The torment of a day in which your affliction will be great by coming to you out of the wrath of your Lord
The leaders of his people said, “We see you in clear error.”
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.”
He said, “O my people, I am not misguided, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds.”
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?”
But I am a messenger to you from the Lord of the Worlds, acknowledging His oneness and disavowal of equals and gods
I convey to you the messages of my Lord and advise you, and I know from God what you do not know
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.
That his punishment will not be averted from the criminal people
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?
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?
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
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.
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.
