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
Surat Al-Shu'ara
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Give full measure and do not be among those who lose
They were weighed using a straight scale
And do not deprive people of their things
And do not act chastely on earth, spreading corruption
And fear Him who created you and those who created the first
Give people their due rights
Do not be among those who lack their rights
Weigh with a straight balance, in which there is no depreciation against whomever you weigh
People do not lose their rights to measure or weight
And do not spread corruption on earth
And fear, O people, the punishment of your Lord, who created you and created the first creation
They said, “You are one of those who are enchanted.”
You are only human like us, and you think that you are one of the liars
Then drop on us a piece of heaven if you are of the truthful ones
They said, “You, Shuaib, are just a reasoner.”
You explain food and drink as we explain them
I am not a king
You are only human beings like us who eat and drink
We do not expect you to do what you tell us and call us to
Except for those who lie about what they say
If you are honest in what you say, you are the Messenger of God as you claim
Then pieces of the sky fell on us
He said, “My Lord knows best what you do.”
So they denied him, so the torment of the Day of Shadow befell them
It was the torment of a great day
Shuaib said to his people
My Lord knows best what you do
He is surrounded by your deeds
And He will reward you with it
So his people lied to him
So the torment of the Day of Shadow seized them
It is a cloud that misled them
When they finished under it
A fire blazed over them and burned them
The torment of the Day of Shadow was the torment of a great day
Therefore, most of them were believers
Indeed, your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful
The people of Shuaib are torturing us
A sign for your people, O Muhammad
Most of them were not believers as far as we knew about them
Indeed, your Lord, O Muhammad, is the Mighty in His vengeance
Whoever took revenge on his enemies
Most Merciful to those of His creation who repent
It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds
The faithful Spirit descended upon him
On your heart so that you may be among the warners
In clear Arabic language
Indeed, it is in the penis of the ancients
This Qur’an was revealed by the Lord of the Worlds
Gabriel, the faithful spirit, sent him down
So he recited it to you, O Muhammad, until you understood it in your heart
To be one of God's messengers who used to warn those of their people sent to him
And warn your people in the Arabic language
It is clear to those who hear him that he is an Arab
Indeed, this Qur’an is in the books of the ancients
Did they not have a sign that the scholars of the Children of Israel should teach it?
Were they not those who turned away from the remembrance of your Lord that comes to you, O Muhammad?
An indication that you are the Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds
That the scholars of the Children of Israel know the truth and validity of this
Even if we revealed it to some foreigners
So he recited it to them as long as they were believers
Even if We sent down this Qur’an to some of the splendor of the unspeakable
So recite this Qur’an to the infidels of your people, O Muhammad
They would not have believed in him
Because of the misery that had happened to them previously
This is an entertainment from God, His Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, on behalf of his people
So that his distress would not become more intense by them turning away from him
And their refusal to listen to this Qur’an
Thus We have implanted it into the hearts of criminals
They will not believe in him until they see the painful torment
Then it will come to them suddenly and they do not realize it
They say: Are we theorists?
Likewise, We have introduced denial and disbelief into the hearts of criminals
We did this to them so that they would not believe in this Qur’an
Until they see the painful torment in the immediate future of this world
This was also seen by the nations whose stories God told in this Surah
Then suddenly a painful punishment will come to those who deny this Qur’an
They did not know before that of his coming
Until he surprises them suddenly
They say: Are we being spared the torment?
And in our time, let us repent
Are they hastening to punish us?
What do you think if we entertain them for years?
Then what they had been promised came to them
The enjoyment they had was of no use to them
Are these polytheists hastening to punish Us?
By their saying, “We will not believe in you until the sky falls as you claimed on us.”
What do you think if we entertain them for years?
Then came to them the torment that they were threatened with because of their disbelief in Our verses and their denial of Our Messenger
Anything that will save them from the delay that We delayed in their time
And the enjoyment we gave them from life
Because they did not repent of their polytheism
Is it of any benefit to them that we enjoy anything?
Rather, it harmed them by increasing their sins
We destroyed not a single town except that it had warners
Remember, and we were not unjust
We did not destroy any of the villages described in these surahs
Only after We sent to them messengers warning them of Our punishment
A reminder to them and a warning of what will save them from our torment
And we were not unjust to them in destroying them
And what the devils descended upon
What they should and what they can
They are isolated from hearing
The devils did not descend upon Muhammad with this Qur’an
And the devils should not bring it down upon him
And they can't afford it
The devils are isolated from hearing the Qur’an from the place in which it is in heaven
How can they get down with him?
Do not call upon another god with God, lest you be among those who are tormented
So, O Muhammad, do not call upon anyone other than Him to be worshiped with God
The torment that befell those who disobeyed our command and worshiped others will befall you
And warn your closest clan
And lower your wings to those of the believers who follow you
If they disobey you, say, “I am innocent of what you do.”
And warn your clan of people who are closest to you by blood
And warn them of our torment
And now your side and your words are for those of the believers who follow you
If your closest relatives disobey you, O Muhammad
So tell them that I am innocent of what you do of worshiping idols
And put your trust in the Mighty, the Merciful
Who sees you when you rise
And turn you into those who prostrate
He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing
And trust in the Almighty in his vengeance against his enemies
Merciful to those who turn to Him and repent of their sins
Who sees you when you stand up for your prayer
He sees your fluctuation among those who trust you between standing, kneeling, prostrating, and sitting
Your Lord is the Hearer of your recitation, O Muhammad, and your remembrance in your prayers
The One Who knows what you do in it and whoever changes with you does in it
So recite the Qur’an there and establish its boundaries
For you are a witness from your Lord and a listener
Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?
It descends on all your sinful axes
They listen and most of them are liars
Shall I inform you, O people, upon whom the devils descend from among the people?
It descends on every liar and sinner
The devils listen
It is what they hear from what they have eavesdropped on when it occurred from heaven
To all your sinful abominations among their friends among the children of Adam
And the devils descend upon them most
They are liars in what they say and tell
The poets are followed by the poets
Have you not seen that they wander in every valley?
And they say what they do not do
Except those who believe and do righteous deeds
They mentioned God a lot
And they were victorious after they were wronged
And those who wronged will know which way to turn
The poets of the polytheists are followed by the temptations of the people
And the rebellious devils and the disobedient jinn
Have you not seen, O Muhammad, that poets go to every valley?
Like a wanderer on his face unintentionally
Rather, he is unjust to the truth and the path of guidance
They falsely praise some people and insult others with lies and falsehood
Except those who believe and do righteous deeds
They mentioned God a lot in their words
And they were defeated by their method from the polytheist poets unjustly
They responded to what they attacked them with
And those who wronged themselves by committing polytheism with God will learn from the people of Mecca
Which reference do they refer to?
What place will they return to after their death?
For they will become a fire whose flames will never be quenched and whose flame will not subside
