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-Baqarah
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Do you hope that they will believe in you?
A group of them were listening
The word of God and then they distort it
Then they distort it after they have understood it
And they know
Have some hope, O community of believers?
That the Jews of Israel will believe in you
So they will believe in you what your Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, brought to you
It was a sect of Jews
They were given the opportunity to hear the words of God Almighty
What no one gave him except the prophets and messengers
So they heard from God His words, commands, and prohibitions
Then they changed it and distorted it after they taught it
Intentionally distorting
These people among you are the remnants of their descendants
It is better that they deny the truth you have given them
They do not hear it from God
But they hear it from you
And when they meet those who believe, they say, “We believe.”
And if they are alone with each other
They said you talk to them
They said: Will you tell them what God has revealed to you?
To argue with you
That they may dispute with you before your Lord about it
For example, do you understand?
And the Jews of the children of Israel
Meet those who believe in God and His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
They said: We believe in Muhammad and in what you believe in him
We acknowledged that
And if some of these Jews were alone with each other
They became empty of people
They said: Are you telling the Companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, about what God has revealed to you?
From what is found in our books about the mission of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
And the existence of his attribute
And he took the covenant by faith in it
It will be a proof for the Muslims against you before their Lord
Do you not, O people, understand and reason?
Don't do that
Do they not know that God knows what they conceal and what they know?
Do these people, except Emon among the Jews, know their brothers from their religion?
To inform the believers of what is in their books describing the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his sender
God knows what they conceal, so they hide it from their blaming among themselves
And what they announce from what they say
We believed in Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and in what he brought
Hypocrisy and deception of God, His Messenger, and the believers
Among these Jews are illiterate people who do not write or read and do not know what is in the Torah
They do not know what God has entrusted of His limits and rulings
But they tell lies and speak falsehoods
Thinking that they are right in his lies and false statements
So woe to those who write the book with their own hands and then say:
They say this is from God so that they can exchange it for a small price
So woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they earn
The torment that is drinking the pus of the people of Hell is at the bottom of Hell
For the Jews who distorted the Book of God
They wrote a book based on their interpretations
Contrary to what God revealed to His Prophet Moses, may God bless him and grant him peace
Then they sold him to a people who had no knowledge of it or of what was in the Torah
Ignorant of what is in the books of God
To ask for an offer from the world is vile
The torment for them is from what their hands have written
Woe to them for the sins they do
They commit sins and earn from what is forbidden
They said, “The fire will not touch us except for a few days.”
Say, “Have you made a covenant with God? God will not break a covenant.”
Or do you say about God what you do not know?
She said the Jews
Our bodies will not meet the fire
We will only enter it for a few days
Say, O Muhammad, to the Jews
You have taken what you say about that from God as a covenant
God does not break His covenant
He does not change his promise or contract
Or do you say falsehood against God out of ignorance and boldness against Him?
Yes, whoever earns evil and is surrounded by his sin
Those are the companions of the Fire, and they will abide therein forever
Indeed, He punishes those who associate others with God and disbelieve in Him and His Messengers
He committed many sins that came together against him
So he died before repenting and repenting
Those are the companions of the Fire
They will never reside there
And those who believe and do righteous deeds
Those are the companions of Paradise
They will live there forever
And those who believed what Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, brought
And they obeyed God
So they established his limits and performed his duties
And avoid incest
These are the companions of Paradise and will reside there forever
And when We took Mitha from the son of Israel
Do not worship anyone but God
And be kind to parents
Relatives, orphans, and the needy
Speak well to people and perform prayer
And they paid the zakat, then you turned away, except for a few of you, and you turned away
And remember also, O people of Israel
When we took your covenant, you shall not worship anyone but God alone, and not any other equal
And be kind to parents
And with a relative, you should maintain his ties of kinship and recognize his rights
And to the orphans, that you be kind to them with mercy and compassion
And to the poor who are humbled by poverty and need to be given their rights
And to tell people well
And perform the prayer with its due rights
And pay the zakat that was imposed on you on your wealth
Then you disobeyed his order in all of that
And you turned away from him, except for those among them whom God protected
So he fulfilled his covenant and covenant with God
And since we took your covenant, you will not shed your blood
And do not expel yourselves from your homes
Then you acknowledged it while you bore witness
And remember also, O people of Israel
Since we have taken your covenant
Do not shed your blood and kill one another
And do not expel one another from your homes
Then you acknowledged the covenant that we made with you
Then you kill yourselves
And you expel a group of yourselves from their homes
They demonstrate sin and aggression against them
And if they come to you as captives, you avoid them
It is forbidden for you to take them out
Do you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part?
What is the reward for those of you who do that?
Except disgrace in this worldly life
On the Day of Resurrection, they will be returned to the most severe torment
And God does not care about what you do
Then you, O community of Jews of the Children of Israel
After you acknowledge the covenant that I took from you
You kill yourselves
And you kill each other
And you expel a group of yourselves from their homes
Cooperating in expelling you from sin and aggression
And you, along with your killing, are those you kill
If you find a prisoner among you in the hands of your enemies, you will ransom him
Killing them and expelling them from their homes is forbidden for you
How do you permit killing them?
And you do not find it permissible to abandon their ransom from their enemy
There is no punishment for those who break God’s covenant and covenant
Except humiliation and smallness in this worldly life
And the day the Hour comes
Those of you who do this respond
To the most severe torment that God has prepared for His enemies
And God does not care about your evil deeds
Rather, he is its collector and preserver
So that He may reward you with it
Those who bought the life of this world for the afterlife
The torment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be helped
Those who believe in some of the Scripture and disbelieve in part
They bought the leadership of this worldly life
On the weak, ignorant and stupid people of their religion
And they bought vile, vile foods therein with faith
The torment will not be lightened for them
No one will support them in the afterlife
We gave Moses the Book, and he stayed with us after him with messengers
And We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs
We supported him with the Holy Spirit
Whenever a messenger comes to you with anything your souls do not desire,
You became arrogant, and you lied to some, and to some you killed
And We sent down to Moses, peace be upon him, the Torah
After Moses, We followed the messengers, one after another
We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear evidence of his prophethood
We strengthened him with Gabriel, peace be upon him
But God called Gabriel a spirit and added him to Jerusalem
Because it was God’s formation of a spirit from Himself without the birth of a father
He added it to Jerusalem, which is purity
And whenever a messenger from My messengers comes to you
Other than what your souls desire
You were arrogant against them, out of arrogance and transgression
So you lied to some of them and killed others
This is what you have never done to My Messenger
And they said: Our hearts are uncircumcised
So God cursed them for their disbelief, so they rarely believed
And they said, “Our hearts are in covers and covers.”
This is not what they claimed
Rather, God excluded them, removed them, and expelled them
And He disgraced them and destroyed them because of their disbelief and denial of the signs and clear signs of God
And their denial of his prophets
So little do they believe
And when a book came to them from God
Believing what they have
And before, they used to seek victory against those who disbelieved
When what they knew came to them, they multiplied it
May the curse of God be upon the unbelievers
When the Jews came to the Book of God, the Qur’an
Which was revealed to Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
And it confirms what they have of the books
Which God sent down before
These were the Jews
They ask God for help through the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
Against the Arab polytheist by his sender
When Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, came to them
They disbelieved in him when he was not one of the children of Israel
May God be disgraced and removed from those who strive
They did not know the truth
Evil is what they bought themselves for
That they disbelieve in what God has revealed out of transgression
May God send down His grace
On whomever He wishes of His servants
So they responded with anger upon anger
And for the disbelievers is a humiliating torment
The thing became worse, and the Jews sold themselves for it
Their disbelief in what God revealed
Transgression and envy
In order for God to send down His wisdom and signs
And his prophecy to Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
He is the son of Ismail
Not from the children of Israel
So the Jews returned with anger from God
For their disbelief and ingratitude
On the anger of Salif for their disbelief in Jesus
And their worship is the calf
Or for other past sins
And for those who strive is the prophecy of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
A punishment from God that humiliates its owner
Our humiliation and humiliation
Either in the afterlife or in this world
And if they were told
Believe in what God has revealed
They said: We believe in what was revealed to us
And they disbelieve in what is behind it
It is the truth confirming what they have
Say, “Why did you kill God’s prophets before?”
If you are believers
It was also said to the Jews
They believed in what God revealed of the Qur’an
They said: We believe in what was revealed to us of the Torah
And they deny everything else
And what is behind the book that was revealed to them?
It is the Qur’an
He is right
And it agrees with the book they have
Tell them, O Muhammad
Why did you kill God's prophets before?
If you, O community of Jews, believe in what God has revealed to you, as you claimed
