He sent it down to me 87 00:07:28,819 --> 00:07:30,819 And you lied to him 88 00:07:30,819 --> 00:07:36,819 Abdullah bin Salam, one of the children of Israel, testified to such a Qur’an 89 00:07:36,819 --> 00:07:38,819 It is the Torah 90 00:07:38,819 --> 00:07:44,819 This is his testimony that Muhammad is written in the Torah that he is a prophet 91 00:07:44,819 --> 00:07:47,819 The Jews find it written in the Torah 92 00:07:47,819 --> 00:07:51,819 As it is written in the Qur’an that he is a prophet 93 00:07:51,819 --> 00:07:54,819 Abdullah bin Salam believed 94 00:07:54,819 --> 00:07:57,819 And you were too proud to believe 95 00:07:57,819 --> 00:08:02,819 God does not enable the truth to reach the disbelieving people 96 00:08:02,819 --> 00:08:07,459 Those who wronged themselves by disbelieving in Him 97 00:08:07,459 --> 00:08:10,459 And those who disbelieve say to those who believe 98 00:08:10,459 --> 00:08:15,459 If it were good, they would not have preceded us to it 99 00:08:15,459 --> 00:08:23,459 And if they are not guided by it, they will say: This is an old lie 100 00:08:23,459 --> 00:08:29,300 Those who denied the prophecy of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, said 101 00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:33,299 From the Jews of the Children of Israel to those who believed in him 102 00:08:33,299 --> 00:08:38,299 If your belief in Muhammad for what he brought to you were good 103 00:08:38,299 --> 00:08:41,299 What you have preceded us into believing 104 00:08:41,299 --> 00:08:46,419 And since they were not guided by Muhammad and what he brought from God 105 00:08:46,419 --> 00:08:52,419 They will say, “This Qur’an is a lie from the old news of the ancients.” 106 00:08:52,419 --> 00:08:59,159 And before him was the book of Moses as an imam and his mercy 107 00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:12,159 This is a book authenticated in Arabic language to warn those who have wronged 108 00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:16,159 And good news for the doers of good 109 00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:20,960 Before this book is the Book of Moses, which is the Torah 110 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,960 An imam for the children of Israel to follow 111 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,960 And as a mercy to them, We sent it down to them 112 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:33,960 This Qur’an confirms the Book of Moses that Muhammad is a sent prophet 113 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:40,960 In an Arabic language, this book warns those who have wronged themselves by disbelieving in God 114 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,960 It is good news for those who obeyed God and did good in their faith 115 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:53,889 Those who said, “Our Lord is God,” and then remained steadfast 116 00:09:53,889 --> 00:10:02,889 They have no fear, nor do they grieve 117 00:10:02,889 --> 00:10:17,889 These are the companions of Paradise, abiding therein as a reward for what they did 118 00:10:17,889 --> 00:10:23,460 Indeed, those who say, “Our Lord is God, besides Whom there is no god.” 119 00:10:23,460 --> 00:10:28,460 Then they remained firm in their belief in that and did not confuse it with polytheism 120 00:10:28,460 --> 00:10:32,460 They have no fear of the terror of the Day of Resurrection 121 00:10:32,460 --> 00:10:37,460 Nor do they grieve for what they left behind after their death 122 00:10:37,460 --> 00:10:44,460 Those who said this are the people of Paradise and will remain there forever 123 00:10:44,460 --> 00:10:50,460 As a reward from us for their good deeds that they did in this world 124 00:10:52,169 --> 00:10:58,169 We have enjoined upon man to be kind to his parents 125 00:10:58,169 --> 00:11:04,169 His mother bore him unwillingly and gave birth to him unwillingly 126 00:11:04,169 --> 00:11:09,169 His pregnancy and weaning are thirty months 127 00:11:09,169 --> 00:11:15,169 Even when he reached his peak and reached forty years 128 00:11:15,169 --> 00:11:26,169 He said, “Lord, enable me to be thankful for Your blessings that You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents.” 129 00:11:26,169 --> 00:11:36,169 And to do good deeds that will please you, and to do good for my descendants 130 00:11:36,169 --> 00:11:44,870 I repent to you and I am one of the Muslims 131 00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:51,870 We enjoined upon the son of Adam that he be kind to his parents and that he be with them during the days of their lives 132 00:11:51,870 --> 00:11:56,870 His mother carried him in her womb with difficulty and gave birth to him with difficulty 133 00:11:56,870 --> 00:12:03,870 His mother carried him, weaned him from breastfeeding, and weaned him from drinking milk 134 00:12:03,870 --> 00:12:05,870 Thirty months 135 00:12:05,870 --> 00:12:10,899 Even when he reached his peak, which was thirty-three years 136 00:12:10,899 --> 00:12:15,899 He reached forty years old when God’s proof was complete against him 137 00:12:15,899 --> 00:12:19,899 He knew what was due to God from the right to honor my parents 138 00:12:19,899 --> 00:12:21,899 This human being said 139 00:12:21,899 --> 00:12:25,899 Lord, tempt me to thank Your blessings that You have bestowed upon me 140 00:12:25,899 --> 00:12:30,899 In making Him known to You alone and acting in obedience to You 141 00:12:30,899 --> 00:12:34,899 I was blessed and inspired by my father before me 142 00:12:34,899 --> 00:12:39,899 Encourage me to do good deeds that please You 143 00:12:39,899 --> 00:12:44,899 And set my affairs straight for me among the descendants of those whom You have given me 144 00:12:44,899 --> 00:12:48,899 I repent of the sins that I committed 145 00:12:48,899 --> 00:12:54,899 I am one of those who submit to you in obedience and surrender to your commands and prohibitions 146 00:12:54,899 --> 00:13:06,419 Those from whom we accept the best of what they do 147 00:13:06,419 --> 00:13:13,419 And we will forgive their bad deeds among the companions of Paradise 148 00:13:13,419 --> 00:13:19,120 The promise of honesty they were promising 149 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:26,120 These are the ones whose best deeds in this world will be accepted from them 150 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,120 He will reward them with it 151 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:33,120 He forgives them for their bad deeds and does not punish them for them 152 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:38,120 We do that to them as we do to the companions and people of Paradise 153 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,120 God promised them this promise, there is no doubt about it 154 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:47,019 Which they were promised by God Almighty 155 00:13:47,019 --> 00:13:56,019 And he said to his parents, “Do you think I should go out?” 156 00:13:56,019 --> 00:14:00,019 The centuries have passed before me 157 00:14:00,019 --> 00:14:06,019 They are asking God for help 158 00:14:06,019 --> 00:14:11,019 Woe to you, I hope God's promise is true 159 00:14:11,019 --> 00:14:14,019 God's promise is true 160 00:14:14,019 --> 00:14:20,019 He says: These are nothing but legends of the ancients 161 00:14:20,019 --> 00:14:25,909 Who told his parents that they called him to believe in God 162 00:14:25,909 --> 00:14:27,909 Dirty for you both 163 00:14:27,909 --> 00:14:30,909 Do you promise me to come out of my grave? 164 00:14:30,909 --> 00:14:33,909 Centuries of nations have passed before me 165 00:14:33,909 --> 00:14:36,909 They perished, but none of them were resurrected 166 00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:42,909 His parents are crying out to God for him to believe in God and acknowledge the resurrection 167 00:14:42,909 --> 00:14:44,909 And they say to him 168 00:14:44,909 --> 00:14:47,909 Woe to you, you believed God's promise 169 00:14:47,909 --> 00:14:54,909 The promise of God to His creation that He would raise them from their graves is true, beyond doubt 170 00:14:54,909 --> 00:14:58,909 So the enemy of God says, answering his parents 171 00:14:58,909 --> 00:15:03,909 What is this that you are telling me that I am an envoy after my death? 172 00:15:03,909 --> 00:15:08,909 Except for the falsehoods written by the ancient people 173 00:15:08,909 --> 00:15:16,549 Those who have the right to have a say in nations 174 00:15:16,549 --> 00:15:24,549 It had been devoid of jinn and humans before them 175 00:15:24,549 --> 00:15:28,549 They were losers 176 00:15:28,549 --> 00:15:33,480 These are the ones who must be punished by God 177 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:39,480 In those whom God’s punishment befell from among the nations who passed before them, including the jinn and mankind 178 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:44,480 Indeed, they were the ones who were deceived by selling guidance to misguidance 179 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:51,250 And for every degree of what they did 180 00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:57,250 And He will recompense them for their deeds, and they will not be wronged 181 00:15:57,250 --> 00:16:00,889 And for both of these groups 182 00:16:00,889 --> 00:16:04,889 Team of belief in God and the Last Day 183 00:16:04,889 --> 00:16:07,889 And the team of disbelief in God and the Last Day 184 00:16:07,889 --> 00:16:15,889 There will be stations and ranks with God on the Day of Resurrection based on the good and bad deeds they did in this world 185 00:16:15,889 --> 00:16:18,889 And they are not all wronged 186 00:16:18,889 --> 00:16:23,889 The offender is not punished except as a punishment for his sin 187 00:16:23,889 --> 00:16:26,889 He does not bear the guilt of anyone else 188 00:16:26,889 --> 00:16:31,690 The benefactor among them does not underestimate the reward of his benevolence 189 00:16:31,690 --> 00:16:43,690 And on the Day when those who disbelieve will be exposed to the Fire, you have taken away your good deeds in your worldly life 190 00:16:43,690 --> 00:16:52,690 And you enjoyed it, today you will be rewarded with a humiliating torment 191 00:16:52,690 --> 00:17:03,690 Because you were arrogant on earth without right 192 00:17:03,690 --> 00:17:07,690 And because you were disobedient 193 00:17:07,690 --> 00:17:12,259 And the day those who disbelieved in God will be exposed to the Fire 194 00:17:12,259 --> 00:17:19,259 It is said to them: You have consumed your good things in your worldly life and enjoyed them 195 00:17:19,259 --> 00:17:25,259 Today, O disbelievers, you will be rewarded with the torment of humiliation that humiliates you 196 00:17:25,259 --> 00:17:29,259 Because you were arrogant in this world on the face of the earth 197 00:17:29,259 --> 00:17:32,259 So you refuse to worship Him sincerely 198 00:17:32,259 --> 00:17:37,259 And since you were disobeying Him, you disobeyed Him 199 00:17:37,259 --> 00:17:43,250 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
