WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.169 --> 00:00:08.050 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.589 --> 00:00:12.750 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:15.919 Surah Seven 00:00:17.969 --> 00:00:22.289 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.260 --> 00:00:30.620 Say, “Who provides for you from the heavens and the earth?” Say, “Allah.” 00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:38.380 We or you may be on guidance or in clear error 00:00:39.630 --> 00:00:42.590 Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists 00:00:42.829 --> 00:00:45.630 Who provides for you from the heavens and the earth? 00:00:45.869 --> 00:00:48.990 By sending down rain, life will be given to your crops 00:00:49.390 --> 00:00:53.549 And harness the sun, moon and stars for your benefits 00:00:53.869 --> 00:00:58.509 And the earth, by bringing forth from it your sustenance and the sustenance of your livestock 00:00:59.060 --> 00:01:01.060 If they say we don't know 00:01:01.380 --> 00:01:05.219 So say, “It is God who provides you.” 00:01:05.730 --> 00:01:09.810 Tell them: We are perhaps on guidance or in error 00:01:10.129 --> 00:01:13.090 Or are you on error or guidance? 00:01:14.540 --> 00:01:22.780 Say, “You will not be asked about what we have committed, and we will not be asked about what you do.” 00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:32.299 Say: Our Lord will bring us together, then He will open between us with truth, and He is the Opener, the All-Knowing 00:01:33.709 --> 00:01:35.709 Tell those polytheists 00:01:36.189 --> 00:01:40.349 One of our teams is right and the other is astray 00:01:40.829 --> 00:01:44.030 Do not ask what we have committed 00:01:44.430 --> 00:01:47.709 We do not ask about the work you do 00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:53.219 Tell them: Our Lord will gather us together on the Day of Resurrection with Him 00:01:53.780 --> 00:01:55.780 Then he will judge between us fairly 00:01:56.420 --> 00:02:00.340 Then it will become clear to us who is guided and who is astray 00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:05.140 God is the All-Knowing Judge of judgment between His creation 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:13.120 Say, "Show me those whom you have joined as partners." 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:19.120 No, but He is God, the Mighty, the Wise 00:02:20.900 --> 00:02:23.620 Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists 00:02:24.340 --> 00:02:28.180 Show me, O people, whom you have attached to God 00:02:28.659 --> 00:02:32.340 So you made them partners in your worship 00:02:32.979 --> 00:02:34.979 What did they create from the earth? 00:02:35.300 --> 00:02:37.300 Or do they have a trap in the heavens? 00:02:38.099 --> 00:02:40.819 They lied, it is not as they described 00:02:41.460 --> 00:02:44.180 Rather, He is the deity who has no partner 00:02:44.740 --> 00:02:48.180 And He is the Mighty in His revenge on those who associate Him with others 00:02:48.740 --> 00:02:51.219 The wise man is in his management of his creation 00:02:52.849 --> 00:03:02.610 We have not sent you except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner to all mankind 00:03:03.090 --> 00:03:11.729 A good tidings and a warner, but most people do not know 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.199 We did not send you, O Muhammad, to your people in particular 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:21.840 But We sent you to all people 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.919 Bringing good tidings to those who obey you and a warner to those who lie to you 00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:32.879 But most people do not know that God also sent you to all humans 00:03:34.610 --> 00:03:41.409 And they say: When will this promise come, if you are truthful? 00:03:41.969 --> 00:03:51.009 I will tell you the appointed day for which you will neither delay an hour nor advance 00:03:52.580 --> 00:03:58.419 These polytheists say that this promise will happen at any time 00:03:58.979 --> 00:04:04.020 If, in what you tell us of that, you are truthful that it exists 00:04:04.830 --> 00:04:10.750 Tell them, O Muhammad, there is a day when He will come to you, O people 00:04:11.389 --> 00:04:17.470 Do not delay it when an hour comes to you, and look for repentance and repentance 00:04:18.110 --> 00:04:24.430 And do not seek torment before it, because God has set a term for you for that 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:33.680 Those who disbelieved said: We will not believe in this Qur’an nor in what is before it 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:43.680 If only you could see, when the wrongdoers are detained before their Lord, some of them would return to each other’s words 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:52.319 Some of them return to each other saying that those who were weak say to those who were arrogant 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:59.839 If it were not for you, we would be believers 00:05:01.379 --> 00:05:07.620 And those who disbelieved said, “We will not believe in this Qur’an that Muhammad brought to us.” 00:05:08.180 --> 00:05:12.339 Nor with the book that someone else brought from his hands 00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:20.180 If only you could see, when the wrongdoers stand before their Lord, blaming each other and debating with each other 00:05:20.980 --> 00:05:25.860 The oppressed say to those who were against them that they were arrogant 00:05:26.500 --> 00:05:33.860 If it were not for you, O leaders and great people of this world, we would have believed in God and His signs 00:05:35.569 --> 00:05:42.930 Those who were arrogant said to those who were weak, “We have turned you away from guidance.” 00:05:43.329 --> 00:05:54.529 Did We turn you away from guidance after it had come to you? Nay, you were criminals 00:05:56.100 --> 00:06:03.620 Those who were arrogant in this world said to those who were weak in it that they were followers of the misguided people among them 00:06:04.180 --> 00:06:12.259 We have turned you away from guidance and prevented you from following the truth after it came to you from God, making it clear to you 00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:22.339 Rather, you were criminals, and your preference for disbelief in God over faith prevented you from following guidance and believing in God and His Messenger. 00:06:24.100 --> 00:06:32.740 And those who were weak said to those who were arrogant. Rather, they plotted night and day 00:06:33.220 --> 00:06:43.300 Rather, they plotted night and day when you commanded us to disbelieve in God and make equals to Him 00:06:43.699 --> 00:06:50.660 They were filled with remorse when they saw the torment 00:06:51.220 --> 00:07:03.709 And We placed shackles on the necks of those who disbelieved. Will they be rewarded except for what they used to do? 00:07:04.110 --> 00:07:10.589 Those who were weak and were followers of their leaders said to those who were arrogant in it 00:07:11.149 --> 00:07:23.149 Rather, your plotting against us day and night turned us away from guidance, when you commanded us to disbelieve in God and to make examples and similarities to Him in worship and divinity. 00:07:23.709 --> 00:07:31.629 They regretted their negligence in obeying God in this world when they saw the punishment God had prepared for them 00:07:32.189 --> 00:07:39.389 And the hands of the disbelievers in God are chained in Hell to their necks in pools of fire from Hell 00:07:39.870 --> 00:07:44.110 A recompense for what they disbelieved in God in this world 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:58.240 And We did not send any warner to any town except that its affluent people said, “Indeed, we disbelieve in what you have been sent with.” 00:07:59.569 --> 00:08:05.170 We did not send to the people of a town a warner warning them of Our punishment that would befall them 00:08:05.649 --> 00:08:14.370 Except that its leaders and leaders say in error, “Indeed, we are disbelievers in what you were sent with of the Oneness of God.” 00:08:16.370 --> 00:08:24.850 They said, “We have more wealth and children, and we will not be punished.” 00:08:26.529 --> 00:08:35.889 The arrogant people from every town said, “We have more wealth and children, and we will not be punished in the Hereafter.” 00:08:36.370 --> 00:08:45.009 Because if God were not satisfied with our religion and work, He would not have given us money or children 00:08:46.480 --> 00:09:03.840 Say, “Indeed, my Lord extends sustenance to whomever He wills and He determines it, but most people do not know.” 00:09:05.220 --> 00:09:15.139 Tell them, O Muhammad, that my Lord extends the provision of livelihood in this world to whomever He wills from among His creation, and restricts it to whomever He wills. 00:09:15.779 --> 00:09:26.659 There is no out of love for the One to whom He extends His blessings, nor out of hatred on His part for the One whom He has power over, but He does so as a trial and test for His servants. 00:09:27.539 --> 00:09:32.820 Most people do not know that God does this as a test for His servants 00:09:32.820 --> 00:10:03.340 Neither your wealth nor your children are those that will bring you closer to us as companions except those who believe and do righteous deeds. For those, they will receive a double reward for what they have done, and they will be safe in the chambers. 00:10:05.309 --> 00:10:19.870 And what is your wealth that you, people, boast about over people, or your children, about whom you are arrogant, which brings you closer to us, except those who believe and do righteous deeds? 00:10:20.590 --> 00:10:25.950 Their wealth and children will bring them closer to God by obeying God in that 00:10:26.590 --> 00:10:36.830 These people receive from God double the reward of the eleventh, and they are in the chambers of Paradise, safe from the punishment of God 00:10:38.460 --> 00:10:47.659 And those who strive in Our signs to be helpless, they will be brought to the torment 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:56.960 And those who work on our arguments and our book seek to nullify it and want to extinguish its light 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:06.720 They think that they themselves will miss us and will defeat us. They will be brought to the torment of Hell on the Day of Resurrection 00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:27.940 Say, “Indeed, my Lord extends sustenance to whomever He wills of His servants and decrees for Him, and whatever thing you spend, He will replace it with it, and He is the Best of Providers.” 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:38.960 Say, O Muhammad, that my Lord extends sustenance to whomsoever He wills among His creation, and expands it for Him out of honor and not out of honor. 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:48.720 He has power over whomever He wants, and He oppresses and oppresses them. It is an insult to him, and not an insult, but an ordeal and a test 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:56.399 And whatever expenses you spend, O people, in obedience to God, God will reward you with it 00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:00.960 He is the best of those who are said to be provided with and described with 00:12:02.529 --> 00:12:18.049 And on the Day when He will gather them all together, then He will say to the angels: “Was it you they worshiped?” 00:12:18.370 --> 00:12:31.809 They said, Glory be to You, You are our protector besides them. Rather, they were worshiping the jinn, and most of them were believers in Him 00:12:33.570 --> 00:12:43.169 On the Day when We will gather all these infidels together, then we will say to the angels: Did these people worship you instead of us? 00:12:43.809 --> 00:12:54.690 Then the angels disavowed them and said, “You are free, our Lord, and you are free from what these partners and equals have added to you.” 00:12:55.490 --> 00:13:08.289 You are our guardian instead of them. We do not take a guardian besides you. Rather, they worshiped the jinn. Most of them were believing jinn, claiming that they were daughters of God. 00:13:10.370 --> 00:13:29.490 Today, you do not have the power to benefit or harm one another, and We say to those who wronged, “Taste the torment of the Fire in which you used to deny.” 00:13:31.250 --> 00:13:39.169 Today, some of you, O angels, do not have the power to benefit or harm those who were in this world who worshiped you. 00:13:39.889 --> 00:13:52.850 And we say to those who worshiped other than God and put worship in a place other than its proper place, taste the torment of the Fire, which you used to deny in this world, for you have already entered it. 00:13:54.590 --> 00:14:16.590 And when Our clear verses are recited to them, they say, “This is nothing but a man who wants to turn you away from what your fathers worshiped.” And they say, “This is nothing but an inventor.” 00:14:17.230 --> 00:14:27.230 And those who disbelieved said to the truth when it came to them: This is nothing but obvious magic 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:48.080 And when the verses of Our Book are recited to these polytheists, making it clear that they are the truth from Us, they then say, “Do not follow Muhammad.” He is only a man who wants to turn you away from the idols your fathers used to worship. 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:56.639 These polytheists said, “O Muhammad, what you recited to us is nothing but a fabricated lie.” 00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:09.840 The infidels said to Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, when God sent him as a prophet, “This is clear magic,” which makes it clear to those who see it and contemplate it that it is magic. 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:22.690 We have not given them books to study them, nor did We send to them before you any warner 00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:38.799 We have not sent down to the polytheists books that they should read, nor have We sent down to these polytheists of your people, O Muhammad, what they say and do before you before you any prophet warning them of Our punishment for him. 00:15:40.299 --> 00:15:53.340 And those before them denied, and they did not amount to a tenth of what We gave them, so they denied My Messengers, so how was Nukir? 00:15:54.620 --> 00:15:59.340 And the nations before them denied Our messengers and revelations 00:15:59.820 --> 00:16:10.539 And your people, O Muhammad, have not attained a tenth of what We gave the nations before them in terms of power, hands, force, and other blessings. 00:16:11.019 --> 00:16:21.740 So they denied My messengers in what they had given me of My message, so We punished them. So look, O Muhammad, how they were changed and my punishment. 00:16:21.740 --> 00:16:27.440 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
