WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.599 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:12.789 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 00:00:12.789 --> 00:00:15.820 Surah Al-Ahqaf 00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:23.059 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.059 --> 00:00:26.059 Protector 00:00:26.059 --> 00:00:34.210 Download the book from God the Mighty, the Wise 00:00:34.210 --> 00:00:44.210 We did not create the heavens and the earth and all that is between them except with truth and for a specified term 00:00:44.210 --> 00:00:50.210 And those who disbelieve turn away from what they are warned 00:00:50.210 --> 00:00:52.939 Hamim 00:00:52.939 --> 00:00:58.939 This is the revelation of the Qur’an from God Almighty in His revenge on His enemies 00:00:58.939 --> 00:01:01.939 The wise man is in his management of his creation 00:01:01.939 --> 00:01:07.040 We did not create the heavens and the earth and all the different parts of the world between them 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.040 Except to establish justice in creation 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.040 Otherwise, there is a deadline for all of that known to Him 00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.040 It will annihilate him if he reaches it 00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:19.040 And those who denied the oneness of God 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.040 They turn away from God's warning 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.040 They do not learn from it and do not think about it 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:40.000 Say, "Have you seen what you call upon other than God? Show me what they have created from the earth." 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.000 Or do they have a trap in the heavens? 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:58.000 Give me a book before this or some traces of knowledge if you are truthful 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:03.019 Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists in God 00:02:03.019 --> 00:02:08.020 Have you seen, O people, the gods that you worship instead of God? 00:02:08.020 --> 00:02:11.020 Show me what they created from the earth 00:02:11.020 --> 00:02:18.020 Or are the gods that you worship, O people, a polytheism with God in the seven heavens? 00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:23.020 Thus, you will also have an excuse in your worship 00:02:23.020 --> 00:02:30.090 One of my arguments for devoting worship to my Lord is that He has no partner in creating it 00:02:30.090 --> 00:02:35.090 Give me a book that came from God before this Qur’an 00:02:35.090 --> 00:02:40.090 That whatever gods and idols you worship were created from the earth 00:02:40.090 --> 00:02:44.090 Or that they have a partner with God in the heavens 00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:49.090 This will be an excuse for you to worship her 00:02:49.090 --> 00:02:56.090 Or bring me the rest of the knowledge that will lead to the knowledge of the validity of what you say about this 00:02:56.090 --> 00:03:01.090 If you are sincere in your claim, it will have what you claim 00:03:01.090 --> 00:03:06.819 Who is more astray than he who calls upon other than God? 00:03:06.819 --> 00:03:11.819 Whoever does not respond to him until the Day of Resurrection 00:03:11.819 --> 00:03:16.819 They are heedless of their supplication 00:03:16.819 --> 00:03:22.530 What servant is more misguided than a servant who calls upon gods other than God? 00:03:22.530 --> 00:03:25.530 His prayers are never answered 00:03:25.530 --> 00:03:28.530 And their gods are heedless of their supplications 00:03:28.530 --> 00:03:32.530 Because she does not hear, does not speak, or understands 00:03:32.530 --> 00:03:39.259 And when people are gathered together, they will have enemies 00:03:39.259 --> 00:03:44.259 And they were disbelievers in their worship 00:03:44.259 --> 00:03:48.000 And when people gather on the Day of Resurrection 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:53.000 These gods that they called in this world were their enemies 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:59.000 Their gods, which they worshiped in this world, were ungrateful in their worship 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.000 Because they say on the Day of Resurrection 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.000 We did not command them to worship us 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.000 We disavow you of them, O our Lord 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:13.699 And when Our clear verses are recited to them 00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:16.699 Those who disbelieved spoke the truth 00:04:16.699 --> 00:04:19.699 Those who disbelieved spoke the truth 00:04:19.699 --> 00:04:26.699 When this came to them, this is clear magic 00:04:26.699 --> 00:04:33.439 And when our clear and luminous arguments are read to these polytheists 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:39.439 Those who denied the oneness of God spoke of the truth when it came to them from God 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.439 This Qur’an is a deception that deceives us 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:49.439 He seizes the hearts of those who hear him as an act of magic that makes clear to those who contemplate it that it is magic 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:54.370 Or do they say he fabricated it? 00:04:54.370 --> 00:05:00.370 Say, “If I fabricate it, then you have nothing for me from God.” 00:05:00.370 --> 00:05:08.370 He knows best what you are discussing. He is sufficient as a witness between me and you 00:05:08.370 --> 00:05:12.370 He is the Forgiving, the Merciful 00:05:12.370 --> 00:05:16.910 Or do these polytheists say they are from the Quraysh? 00:05:16.910 --> 00:05:21.910 Muhammad fabricated this Qur’an, so you consider it a lie 00:05:21.910 --> 00:05:23.910 Tell them, Muhammad 00:05:23.910 --> 00:05:27.910 If you slander him and tell a lie about God 00:05:27.910 --> 00:05:32.910 You will not be able to protect me from God's punishment if He punishes me for my slander 00:05:32.910 --> 00:05:37.910 My Lord knows best what you say among yourselves in this Qur’an 00:05:37.910 --> 00:05:43.910 God is sufficient as a witness against me and against what you say about your denial of me 00:05:43.910 --> 00:05:50.910 God is Forgiving and Merciful to them by not punishing them for it after they repent from it 00:05:50.910 --> 00:05:59.810 Say, “I am not an innovator among the messengers, and I do not know what will be done to me or to you.” 00:05:59.810 --> 00:06:08.810 I follow only what is revealed to me, and I am only a clear warner 00:06:08.810 --> 00:06:15.379 Say, O Muhammad, you were not the first of God’s messengers that He sent to His creation 00:06:15.379 --> 00:06:21.379 There were many messengers before me who were sent to nations before you 00:06:21.379 --> 00:06:25.379 I do not know what will be done to me or to you in this world 00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:29.379 I will come out just as I brought out the prophets before me 00:06:29.379 --> 00:06:33.379 Or I will be killed as the prophets were killed before me 00:06:33.379 --> 00:06:37.379 A nation of liars or a nation of truthfulness? 00:06:37.379 --> 00:06:42.449 Tell them: I do not follow in what I command you except the revelation of God 00:06:42.449 --> 00:06:47.449 I am only a warner to you, warning you of God’s punishment 00:06:47.449 --> 00:06:53.449 He has made clear to you a warning and made clear to you his supplication for your advice 00:06:53.449 --> 00:07:01.180 Say: Have you seen if it is from God and you disbelieve in it? 00:07:01.180 --> 00:07:10.180 A witness from the children of Israel testified to something similar 00:07:10.180 --> 00:07:13.180 So he believed and you were arrogant 00:07:13.180 --> 00:07:19.819 God does not guide unjust people 00:07:19.819 --> 00:07:22.819 Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists 00:07:22.819 --> 00:07:28.819 Have you seen, O people, if this Qur’an was from God? He sent it down to me 00:07:28.819 --> 00:07:30.819 And you lied to him 00:07:30.819 --> 00:07:36.819 Abdullah bin Salam, one of the children of Israel, testified to such a Qur’an 00:07:36.819 --> 00:07:38.819 It is the Torah 00:07:38.819 --> 00:07:44.819 This is his testimony that Muhammad is written in the Torah that he is a prophet 00:07:44.819 --> 00:07:47.819 The Jews find it written in the Torah 00:07:47.819 --> 00:07:51.819 As it is written in the Qur’an that he is a prophet 00:07:51.819 --> 00:07:54.819 Abdullah bin Salam believed 00:07:54.819 --> 00:07:57.819 And you were too proud to believe 00:07:57.819 --> 00:08:02.819 God does not enable the truth to reach the disbelieving people 00:08:02.819 --> 00:08:07.459 Those who wronged themselves by disbelieving in Him 00:08:07.459 --> 00:08:10.459 And those who disbelieve say to those who believe 00:08:10.459 --> 00:08:15.459 If it were good, they would not have preceded us to it 00:08:15.459 --> 00:08:23.459 And if they are not guided by it, they will say: This is an old lie 00:08:23.459 --> 00:08:29.300 Those who denied the prophecy of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, said 00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:33.299 From the Jews of the Children of Israel to those who believed in him 00:08:33.299 --> 00:08:38.299 If your belief in Muhammad for what he brought to you were good 00:08:38.299 --> 00:08:41.299 What you have preceded us into believing 00:08:41.299 --> 00:08:46.419 And since they were not guided by Muhammad and what he brought from God 00:08:46.419 --> 00:08:52.419 They will say, “This Qur’an is a lie from the old news of the ancients.” 00:08:52.419 --> 00:08:59.159 And before him was the book of Moses as an imam and his mercy 00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:12.159 This is a book authenticated in Arabic language to warn those who have wronged 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:16.159 And good news for the doers of good 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.960 Before this book is the Book of Moses, which is the Torah 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.960 An imam for the children of Israel to follow 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:27.960 And as a mercy to them, We sent it down to them 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:33.960 This Qur’an confirms the Book of Moses that Muhammad is a sent prophet 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:40.960 In an Arabic language, this book warns those who have wronged themselves by disbelieving in God 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:45.960 It is good news for those who obeyed God and did good in their faith 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:53.889 Those who said, “Our Lord is God,” and then remained steadfast 00:09:53.889 --> 00:10:02.889 They have no fear, nor do they grieve 00:10:02.889 --> 00:10:17.889 These are the companions of Paradise, abiding therein as a reward for what they did 00:10:17.889 --> 00:10:23.460 Indeed, those who say, “Our Lord is God, besides Whom there is no god.” 00:10:23.460 --> 00:10:28.460 Then they remained firm in their belief in that and did not confuse it with polytheism 00:10:28.460 --> 00:10:32.460 They have no fear of the terror of the Day of Resurrection 00:10:32.460 --> 00:10:37.460 Nor do they grieve for what they left behind after their death 00:10:37.460 --> 00:10:44.460 Those who said this are the people of Paradise and will remain there forever 00:10:44.460 --> 00:10:50.460 As a reward from us for their good deeds that they did in this world 00:10:52.169 --> 00:10:58.169 We have enjoined upon man to be kind to his parents 00:10:58.169 --> 00:11:04.169 His mother bore him unwillingly and gave birth to him unwillingly 00:11:04.169 --> 00:11:09.169 His pregnancy and weaning are thirty months 00:11:09.169 --> 00:11:15.169 Even when he reached his peak and reached forty years 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.” 00:11:26.169 --> 00:11:36.169 And to do good deeds that will please you, and to do good for my descendants 00:11:36.169 --> 00:11:44.870 I repent to you and I am one of the Muslims 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 00:11:51.870 --> 00:11:56.870 His mother carried him in her womb with difficulty and gave birth to him with difficulty 00:11:56.870 --> 00:12:03.870 His mother carried him, weaned him from breastfeeding, and weaned him from drinking milk 00:12:03.870 --> 00:12:05.870 Thirty months 00:12:05.870 --> 00:12:10.899 Even when he reached his peak, which was thirty-three years 00:12:10.899 --> 00:12:15.899 He reached forty years old when God’s proof was complete against him 00:12:15.899 --> 00:12:19.899 He knew what was due to God from the right to honor my parents 00:12:19.899 --> 00:12:21.899 This human being said 00:12:21.899 --> 00:12:25.899 Lord, tempt me to thank Your blessings that You have bestowed upon me 00:12:25.899 --> 00:12:30.899 In making Him known to You alone and acting in obedience to You 00:12:30.899 --> 00:12:34.899 I was blessed and inspired by my father before me 00:12:34.899 --> 00:12:39.899 Encourage me to do good deeds that please You 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 00:12:44.899 --> 00:12:48.899 I repent of the sins that I committed 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 00:12:54.899 --> 00:13:06.419 Those from whom we accept the best of what they do 00:13:06.419 --> 00:13:13.419 And we will forgive their bad deeds among the companions of Paradise 00:13:13.419 --> 00:13:19.120 The promise of honesty they were promising 00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:26.120 These are the ones whose best deeds in this world will be accepted from them 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.120 He will reward them with it 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.120 He forgives them for their bad deeds and does not punish them for them 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:38.120 We do that to them as we do to the companions and people of Paradise 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:42.120 God promised them this promise, there is no doubt about it 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:47.019 Which they were promised by God Almighty 00:13:47.019 --> 00:13:56.019 And he said to his parents, “Do you think I should go out?” 00:13:56.019 --> 00:14:00.019 The centuries have passed before me 00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:06.019 They are asking God for help 00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:11.019 Woe to you, I hope God's promise is true 00:14:11.019 --> 00:14:14.019 God's promise is true 00:14:14.019 --> 00:14:20.019 He says: These are nothing but legends of the ancients 00:14:20.019 --> 00:14:25.909 Who told his parents that they called him to believe in God 00:14:25.909 --> 00:14:27.909 Dirty for you both 00:14:27.909 --> 00:14:30.909 Do you promise me to come out of my grave? 00:14:30.909 --> 00:14:33.909 Centuries of nations have passed before me 00:14:33.909 --> 00:14:36.909 They perished, but none of them were resurrected 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 00:14:42.909 --> 00:14:44.909 And they say to him 00:14:44.909 --> 00:14:47.909 Woe to you, you believed God's promise 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 00:14:54.909 --> 00:14:58.909 So the enemy of God says, answering his parents 00:14:58.909 --> 00:15:03.909 What is this that you are telling me that I am an envoy after my death? 00:15:03.909 --> 00:15:08.909 Except for the falsehoods written by the ancient people 00:15:08.909 --> 00:15:16.549 Those who have the right to have a say in nations 00:15:16.549 --> 00:15:24.549 It had been devoid of jinn and humans before them 00:15:24.549 --> 00:15:28.549 They were losers 00:15:28.549 --> 00:15:33.480 These are the ones who must be punished by God 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 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:44.480 Indeed, they were the ones who were deceived by selling guidance to misguidance 00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:51.250 And for every degree of what they did 00:15:51.250 --> 00:15:57.250 And He will recompense them for their deeds, and they will not be wronged 00:15:57.250 --> 00:16:00.889 And for both of these groups 00:16:00.889 --> 00:16:04.889 Team of belief in God and the Last Day 00:16:04.889 --> 00:16:07.889 And the team of disbelief in God and the Last Day 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 00:16:15.889 --> 00:16:18.889 And they are not all wronged 00:16:18.889 --> 00:16:23.889 The offender is not punished except as a punishment for his sin 00:16:23.889 --> 00:16:26.889 He does not bear the guilt of anyone else 00:16:26.889 --> 00:16:31.690 The benefactor among them does not underestimate the reward of his benevolence 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 00:16:43.690 --> 00:16:52.690 And you enjoyed it, today you will be rewarded with a humiliating torment 00:16:52.690 --> 00:17:03.690 Because you were arrogant on earth without right 00:17:03.690 --> 00:17:07.690 And because you were disobedient 00:17:07.690 --> 00:17:12.259 And the day those who disbelieved in God will be exposed to the Fire 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 00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:25.259 Today, O disbelievers, you will be rewarded with the torment of humiliation that humiliates you 00:17:25.259 --> 00:17:29.259 Because you were arrogant in this world on the face of the earth 00:17:29.259 --> 00:17:32.259 So you refuse to worship Him sincerely 00:17:32.259 --> 00:17:37.259 And since you were disobeying Him, you disobeyed Him 00:17:37.259 --> 00:17:43.250 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
