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-Hijr
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
A thousand, not my mother
These are the verses of the Book and a clear Quran
Perhaps those who disbelieve wish they were Muslims
A thousand, not my mother
These are verses of books that existed before the Qur’an
Such as the Torah and the Gospel
And verses of the Qur’an that show whoever contemplates and contemplates his guidance and guidance
Perhaps those who disbelieved in God and denied His oneness would like it
If they were Muslims in this world
Let them eat and enjoy themselves, and let them be inspired by hope, and they will know
Leave, O Muhammad, these polytheists eating in this world
They enjoy its pleasures and their desires in it
For their term which I postponed for them
Hope distracts them from taking their share of obedience to God in it
Tomorrow, when they respond to him, they will know that they were in loss and ruin
We destroyed not a single town except that it had a known book
No nation advances its term, nor does it delay it
O Muhammad, we have not destroyed any of the people of one of the villages that we destroyed in the past
Except that it has a temporary term and a known duration
So are the people of your village
We will not destroy the polytheists of its people except after their term has been fulfilled
What precedes the destruction of a nation before its term
Its destruction will not be delayed beyond the time limit set for it
And they said, O you to whom the message was revealed, you are crazy
If you had not brought us the angels, you were of the truthful ones
These polytheists said
O you to whom the Qur’an was revealed
The one who reminded God of the sermons it contained to his creation
You are crazy in your prayers for us to follow you and abandon our gods
Don't you bring us angels as witnesses to the truth of what you say?
If you are honest that God Almighty has sent you as a messenger to us
We do not send down the angels except with truth, and they are not speculators
We do not send down our angels except with the truth by sending a message to our messengers
Or by tormenting whomever we wanted to torture
If We had sent to these polytheists a sign and they would have disbelieved
They did not look and be delayed with torment
Rather, they hastened it just as we did to the nations before them when they asked about the signs
So they disbelieved when the signs came to them, so We hastened punishment upon them
It is We who sent down the Remembrance, and indeed We will preserve it
Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur’an, and indeed, we are guardians of the Qur’an
From adding to it the falsehood of what is not of it
Or what is missing from it is its rulings, limits, and obligations
We were sent before you among the sects of the ancients
No messenger comes to them but they mock him
O Muhammad, We sent messengers before you among the first nations
And what comes to the first two is a messenger sent by God
Except they were mocking the messengers
We also make it into the hearts of criminals
They do not believe in him, and the year of the first two has passed
Just as we cultivated disbelief in the hearts of the ancients by mocking the messengers
This is what we do in the hearts of those who committed crimes in disbelief in God
Your people, whose hearts have taken the path of denial, do not believe in this Qur’an
Until they see the painful torment
They took from them the Sunnah of their ancestors from the polytheists before them
From the nations that denied their Messenger
She did not believe in what came to her from God
Until God's wrath befell her and she perished
And if We had opened for them a gate from heaven, they would have continued to climb through it
They would have said, “Our eyes have been blinded.” Rather, we are an enchanted people
O Muhammad, if we had opened a door from heaven to these polytheists
So they remained in it, rising and rising
It was said that the angels kept ascending through it while they saw them with their own eyes
These polytheists would have said, “This is not true.”
It took our sight and enchanted it
Do not see a thing as it is
And We have placed constellations in the sky and decorated them for the beholders
And We have made dwelling places in the lower heaven for the sun and the moon
We decorated the sky with stars for those who looked at them and saw them
And We protected it from every accursed devil
Except for one who eavesdrops, and is followed by a clear shooting star
We protected the lower heaven from every devil whom God had stoned and cursed
But the devils may eavesdrop on what is happening in heaven
Then a shooting star from the Fire follows him, showing its impact on him
Either by ruining it or by burning it
We spread the earth and placed mountains in it and made it grow
And We caused therein to grow every thing in balance
We flattened the earth, spread it out, and placed stable mountains on its backs
And We caused everything to grow on earth with a decreed and known limit
And We have provided for you therein sustenance, and for those for whom you do not have provision
And make us a livelihood for you, O people, on earth
And make us therein those for whom you are not providers
Of slaves, female slaves, animals, and livestock
There is nothing but with Us its treasures, and We do not send it down except in a known measure
There is no rain but its stores are with Us, and We do not send it down except in proportion to each land whose limit and amount are known to Us.
And We sent the fertilizing winds, and We sent down water from the sky, and gave you water to drink, but you are not its keepers
And We sent the winds to fertilize, and they are fertilizing, and their pollinating is carried by water
And its pollination of the clouds and trees, it made it into it, and We sent down rain from the sky
So we gave you that rain to drink for your land and your livestock
You are not the storeper of the water that We sent down, so you prevent him from giving me water
Because that is in my hand, I can give it to whomever I want
Indeed, We can revive whoever is dead if We wish and kill whoever is alive if We wish
We inherit the earth and those on it by killing all of them, leaving no one alive except us
We have known those who came forward among you, and We have known those who are coming back
Indeed, it is your Lord who will gather them. Indeed, He is Wise and Knowing
We have already known that the dead among you, O children of Adam, are about to die
We have learned of the latecomers whose death was delayed
And indeed, your Lord, O Muhammad, will gather all the first ones and the last ones with Him on the Day of Resurrection
Your Lord is Wise in His management of His creation, Knowing of their numbers and deeds
The living among them, the dead, the early ones, and the late ones
We created man from clay from aged sludge
We created Adam from dry clay that had not been touched by fire
When I clicked on it, he prayed, and I heard a squeak of clay turning black
We created the jinn before from the fire of toxins
We created Satan before Adam from the fire of hot toxins that kill
And when your Lord said to the angels, “Indeed, I am creating human beings, human beings, from clay, from molten clay.”
When I have shaped him and breathed into him of My Spirit, then fall down and prostrate before him
And remember, O Muhammad, when God said, “Indeed, I will create human beings from dry clay that will change to black.”
If I created him, then prostrate to him
So, I created him and formed him, then modified his image
I breathed My Spirit into him and he became a living human being
They prostrated before him as a greeting and honor, not a prostration of worship
So the angels prostrated, all of them together
Except Satan, who refused to be with those who prostrated
When God created that human being and breathed the soul into him
The angels all prostrated themselves together
Except for Satan, for he refused to be with those who prostrated
He did not prostrate to him with them out of arrogance, envy, and transgression
He said, O Satan, why should you not be with those who prostrate?
He said: I would not prostrate to a human being whom I created from clay from aged sludge
God said, “What prevents you from being with those who prostrate?”
Satan said: I would not prostrate to a human being whom I created from clay and who I am from fire
And fire eats clay
He said, "Get out of it, for you are excommunicated."
And you will be cursed until the Day of Judgment
God said, come out of it, for you are cursed
And if God becomes angry with you by removing you from the heavens and expelling you from them
Until the day of reward and that is the Day of Resurrection
He said, “My Lord, wait for me until the day they are resurrected.”
He said, "You are one of the theoreticians."
Until the appointed day
Satan said, “My Lord, if you take me out of the heavens and curse me.”
So delay me until the day you raise your creation from their graves
So you gather them to the place of resurrection
God said to him, “You are among those who have delayed your destruction.”
Until the day of the appointed time for the destruction of all my creation
My Lord said, “Because you have led me astray, We will certainly beautify them on earth.”
And I will seduce them all
Except Your sincere servants among them
Satan said, “My Lord, you have tempted me.”
If they did good to them, they would disobey you
And we would love it to them on earth
And I will mislead them from the path of guidance
Except for the one whom You have saved with Your grace and whose guidance you have guided
This is something I have no control over and no power over
He said: This is a straight path for me
My servants, you have no authority over them except those of those who go astray who follow you
God said this is the way back to me
So I will reward everyone for his deeds
My servants, you have no argument against them
Except for those who follow you in the misguidance you have called them to, those who go astray and are destroyed
And Hell is the appointed time for all of them
It has seven doors, each of which has a divided section
Indeed, Hell is a rendezvous for all who follow you
Hell has seven dishes
For each dish of Satan's followers, there is a portion and a divided share
The righteous will be in gardens and springs
Enter it safely and securely
And We removed the rancor from their breasts, brothers
Brothers in beds facing each other
No calamity will touch them therein, and they will not be able to escape from it
Those who fear God by obeying Him and fear Him
In gardens and eyes
They are told to enter it in peace, safe from God's punishment
We brought out the hatred and grudge in the hearts of these pious people towards each other
Brothers facing each other
He does not turn around and look at his back
These pious people are not touched by fatigue
And there are no two exits from Paradise and its bliss
