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-Ahqaf
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Protector
Download the book from God the Mighty, the Wise
We did not create the heavens and the earth and all that is between them except with truth and for a specified term
And those who disbelieve turn away from what they are warned
Hamim
This is the revelation of the Qur’an from God Almighty in His revenge on His enemies
The wise man is in his management of his creation
We did not create the heavens and the earth and all the different parts of the world between them
Except to establish justice in creation
Otherwise, there is a deadline for all of that known to Him
It will annihilate him if he reaches it
And those who denied the oneness of God
They turn away from God's warning
They do not learn from it and do not think about it
Say, "Have you seen what you call upon other than God? Show me what they have created from the earth."
Or do they have a trap in the heavens?
Give me a book before this or some traces of knowledge if you are truthful
Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists in God
Have you seen, O people, the gods that you worship instead of God?
Show me what they created from the earth
Or are the gods that you worship, O people, a polytheism with God in the seven heavens?
Thus, you will also have an excuse in your worship
One of my arguments for devoting worship to my Lord is that He has no partner in creating it
Give me a book that came from God before this Qur’an
That whatever gods and idols you worship were created from the earth
Or that they have a partner with God in the heavens
This will be an excuse for you to worship her
Or bring me the rest of the knowledge that will lead to the knowledge of the validity of what you say about this
If you are sincere in your claim, it will have what you claim
Who is more astray than he who calls upon other than God?
Whoever does not respond to him until the Day of Resurrection
They are heedless of their supplication
What servant is more misguided than a servant who calls upon gods other than God?
His prayers are never answered
And their gods are heedless of their supplications
Because she does not hear, does not speak, or understands
And when people are gathered together, they will have enemies
And they were disbelievers in their worship
And when people gather on the Day of Resurrection
These gods that they called in this world were their enemies
Their gods, which they worshiped in this world, were ungrateful in their worship
Because they say on the Day of Resurrection
We did not command them to worship us
We disavow you of them, O our Lord
And when Our clear verses are recited to them
Those who disbelieved spoke the truth
When this came to them, this is clear magic
And when our clear and luminous arguments are read to these polytheists
Those who denied the oneness of God spoke of the truth when it came to them from God
This Qur’an is a deception that deceives us
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
Or do they say he fabricated it?
Say, “If I fabricate it, then you have nothing for me from God.”
He knows best what you are discussing. He is sufficient as a witness between me and you
He is the Forgiving, the Merciful
Or do these polytheists say they are from the Quraysh?
Muhammad fabricated this Qur’an, so you consider it a lie
Tell them, Muhammad
If you slander him and tell a lie about God
You will not be able to protect me from God's punishment if He punishes me for my slander
My Lord knows best what you say among yourselves in this Qur’an
God is sufficient as a witness against me and against what you say about your denial of me
God is Forgiving and Merciful to them by not punishing them for it after they repent from it
Say, “I am not an innovator among the messengers, and I do not know what will be done to me or to you.”
I follow only what is revealed to me, and I am only a clear warner
Say, O Muhammad, you were not the first of God’s messengers that He sent to His creation
There were many messengers before me who were sent to nations before you
I do not know what will be done to me or to you in this world
I will come out just as I brought out the prophets before me
Or I will be killed as the prophets were killed before me
A nation of liars or a nation of truthfulness?
Tell them: I do not follow in what I command you except the revelation of God
I am only a warner to you, warning you of God’s punishment
He has made clear to you a warning and made clear to you his supplication for your advice
Say: Have you seen if it is from God and you disbelieve in it?
A witness from the children of Israel testified to something similar
So he believed and you were arrogant
God does not guide unjust people
Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists
Have you seen, O people, if this Qur’an was from God? He sent it down to me
And you lied to him
Abdullah bin Salam, one of the children of Israel, testified to such a Qur’an
It is the Torah
This is his testimony that Muhammad is written in the Torah that he is a prophet
The Jews find it written in the Torah
As it is written in the Qur’an that he is a prophet
Abdullah bin Salam believed
And you were too proud to believe
God does not enable the truth to reach the disbelieving people
Those who wronged themselves by disbelieving in Him
And those who disbelieve say to those who believe
If it were good, they would not have preceded us to it
And if they are not guided by it, they will say: This is an old lie
Those who denied the prophecy of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
From the Jews of the Children of Israel to those who believed in him
If your belief in Muhammad for what he brought to you were good
What you have preceded us into believing
And since they were not guided by Muhammad and what he brought from God
They will say, “This Qur’an is a lie from the old news of the ancients.”
And before him was the book of Moses as an imam and his mercy
This is a book authenticated in Arabic language to warn those who have wronged
And good news for the doers of good
Before this book is the Book of Moses, which is the Torah
An imam for the children of Israel to follow
And as a mercy to them, We sent it down to them
This Qur’an confirms the Book of Moses that Muhammad is a sent prophet
In an Arabic language, this book warns those who have wronged themselves by disbelieving in God
It is good news for those who obeyed God and did good in their faith
Those who said, “Our Lord is God,” and then remained steadfast
They have no fear, nor do they grieve
These are the companions of Paradise, abiding therein as a reward for what they did
Indeed, those who say, “Our Lord is God, besides Whom there is no god.”
Then they remained firm in their belief in that and did not confuse it with polytheism
They have no fear of the terror of the Day of Resurrection
Nor do they grieve for what they left behind after their death
Those who said this are the people of Paradise and will remain there forever
As a reward from us for their good deeds that they did in this world
We have enjoined upon man to be kind to his parents
His mother bore him unwillingly and gave birth to him unwillingly
His pregnancy and weaning are thirty months
Even when he reached his peak and reached forty years
He said, “Lord, enable me to be thankful for Your blessings that You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents.”
And to do good deeds that will please you, and to do good for my descendants
I repent to you and I am one of the Muslims
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
His mother carried him in her womb with difficulty and gave birth to him with difficulty
His mother carried him, weaned him from breastfeeding, and weaned him from drinking milk
Thirty months
Even when he reached his peak, which was thirty-three years
He reached forty years old when God’s proof was complete against him
He knew what was due to God from the right to honor my parents
This human being said
Lord, tempt me to thank Your blessings that You have bestowed upon me
In making Him known to You alone and acting in obedience to You
I was blessed and inspired by my father before me
Encourage me to do good deeds that please You
And set my affairs straight for me among the descendants of those whom You have given me
I repent of the sins that I committed
I am one of those who submit to you in obedience and surrender to your commands and prohibitions
Those from whom we accept the best of what they do
And we will forgive their bad deeds among the companions of Paradise
The promise of honesty they were promising
These are the ones whose best deeds in this world will be accepted from them
He will reward them with it
He forgives them for their bad deeds and does not punish them for them
We do that to them as we do to the companions and people of Paradise
God promised them this promise, there is no doubt about it
Which they were promised by God Almighty
And he said to his parents, “Do you think I should go out?”
The centuries have passed before me
They are asking God for help
Woe to you, I hope God's promise is true
God's promise is true
He says: These are nothing but legends of the ancients
Who told his parents that they called him to believe in God
Dirty for you both
Do you promise me to come out of my grave?
Centuries of nations have passed before me
They perished, but none of them were resurrected
His parents are crying out to God for him to believe in God and acknowledge the resurrection
And they say to him
Woe to you, you believed God's promise
The promise of God to His creation that He would raise them from their graves is true, beyond doubt
So the enemy of God says, answering his parents
What is this that you are telling me that I am an envoy after my death?
Except for the falsehoods written by the ancient people
Those who have the right to have a say in nations
It had been devoid of jinn and humans before them
They were losers
These are the ones who must be punished by God
In those whom God’s punishment befell from among the nations who passed before them, including the jinn and mankind
Indeed, they were the ones who were deceived by selling guidance to misguidance
And for every degree of what they did
And He will recompense them for their deeds, and they will not be wronged
And for both of these groups
Team of belief in God and the Last Day
And the team of disbelief in God and the Last Day
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
And they are not all wronged
The offender is not punished except as a punishment for his sin
He does not bear the guilt of anyone else
The benefactor among them does not underestimate the reward of his benevolence
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
And you enjoyed it, today you will be rewarded with a humiliating torment
Because you were arrogant on earth without right
And because you were disobedient
And the day those who disbelieved in God will be exposed to the Fire
It is said to them: You have consumed your good things in your worldly life and enjoyed them
Today, O disbelievers, you will be rewarded with the torment of humiliation that humiliates you
Because you were arrogant in this world on the face of the earth
So you refuse to worship Him sincerely
And since you were disobeying Him, you disobeyed Him
