WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.039 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari. 00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:12.740 Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari. 00:00:13.949 --> 00:00:16.030 Surah al-Baqarah. 00:00:17.789 --> 00:00:22.870 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:27.239 “Have ye any hope that they will be true to you when a party of them used to listen to the word of Allah, then used to change it, after they had understood it, knowingly?” (2:75) 00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:31.440 “Have ye any hope that they will be true to you when a party of them used to listen to the word of Allah, then used to change it, after they had understood it, knowingly?” (2:75) 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.359 “Have ye any hope that they will be true to you when a party of them used to listen to the word of Allah, then used to change it, after they had understood it, knowingly?” (2:75) 00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:41.560 “Have ye any hope that they will be true to you when a party of them used to listen to the word of Allah, then used to change it, after they had understood it, knowingly?” (2:75) 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:43.960 ...while they know. 00:00:45.299 --> 00:00:47.659 Do you hope, O company of believers, 00:00:48.140 --> 00:00:50.939 that the Jews of the Children of Israel will believe you, 00:00:51.460 --> 00:00:56.659 and confirm what your Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has brought to you? 00:00:57.140 --> 00:00:59.579 Yet a faction of the Jews existed, 00:00:59.579 --> 00:01:03.539 who were granted the direct experience of hearing the speech of Allah the Exalted, 00:01:03.939 --> 00:01:07.579 such that no one else was granted it except the prophets and messengers. 00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:11.579 They heard from Allah His speech, His commands, and His prohibitions, 00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:15.659 then they altered and distorted it after they had known it, 00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:17.780 intentionally committing this distortion. 00:01:18.459 --> 00:01:22.579 So, these remnants of their descendants who are among you, 00:01:23.060 --> 00:01:26.620 are even more likely to deny the truth you have brought them, 00:01:27.219 --> 00:01:29.260 as they do not hear it directly from Allah, 00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:31.900 but rather hear it only from you. 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.879 When they meet those who believe, they say, "We believe." 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.560 “And when they fall in with those who believe, they say: We believe. But when they go apart one with another they say: Prate ye to them of that which Allah hath disclosed to you that they may contend with you before your Lord concerning it? Have ye then no sense?” (2:76) 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.159 They say, "Do you speak to them," 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:50.079 “And when they fall in with those who believe, they say: We believe. But when they go apart one with another they say: Prate ye to them of that which Allah hath disclosed to you that they may contend with you before your Lord concerning it? Have ye then no sense?” (2:76) 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.799 "so that they may argue against you with it?" 00:01:54.239 --> 00:02:02.010 “And when they fall in with those who believe, they say: We believe. But when they go apart one with another they say: Prate ye to them of that which Allah hath disclosed to you that they may contend with you before your Lord concerning it? Have ye then no sense?” (2:76) 00:02:02.010 --> 00:02:05.209 Do you not then use your reason? 00:02:06.150 --> 00:02:08.430 And when the Jews of the Children of Israel 00:02:08.629 --> 00:02:13.509 meet those who believe in Allah and His Messenger, peace be upon him, 00:02:14.189 --> 00:02:18.110 they say, "We believe in Muhammad and in what you believe in," 00:02:18.590 --> 00:02:20.150 and we acknowledge that. 00:02:20.789 --> 00:02:24.069 And when some of these Jews go aside to one another, 00:02:24.590 --> 00:02:26.870 and are in private, away from the people, 00:02:27.389 --> 00:02:35.069 they say, "Do you speak to the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, about what Allah has disclosed to you," 00:02:35.509 --> 00:02:40.830 regarding what is found in our books about the mission of Muhammad, peace be upon him, 00:02:41.310 --> 00:02:42.550 and the presence of his description, 00:02:42.990 --> 00:02:45.229 and the taking of the covenant to believe in him, 00:02:45.750 --> 00:02:49.789 so that it may be an argument for the Muslims against you before their Lord? 00:02:50.349 --> 00:02:53.710 Do you not understand, O people, and use your reason? 00:02:54.189 --> 00:02:55.710 Do not do that. 00:02:56.580 --> 00:03:04.539 “Are they then unaware that Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which they proclaim?” (2:77) 00:03:05.419 --> 00:03:10.900 Do these people not know—the unlettered among the Jews, their brethren of the same faith— 00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:18.900 regarding their informing the believers of what is in their books concerning the description of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and his mission, 00:03:19.419 --> 00:03:24.740 that Allah is aware of what they conceal, hiding it through their mutual blame, 00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:27.259 and what they declare of their saying, 00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:32.580 "We believe in Muhammad, peace be upon him, and in what he has brought," 00:03:33.180 --> 00:03:37.379 out of hypocrisy and deception toward Allah, His Messenger, and the believers? 00:03:49.689 --> 00:03:57.009 Among these Jews are unlettered ones who neither write nor read; they do not know what is in the Torah, 00:03:57.530 --> 00:04:01.530 nor do they know what Allah has deposited therein of His boundaries and rulings. 00:04:02.210 --> 00:04:06.810 Rather, they merely invent lies and fabricate falsehoods, 00:04:07.409 --> 00:04:12.729 thinking they are justified in their fabrication and false claims. 00:04:13.569 --> 00:04:21.449 “Therefore woe be unto those who write the Scripture with their hands and then say, "This is from Allah," that they may purchase a small gain therewith. Woe unto them for that their hands have written, and woe unto them for that they earn thereby.” (2:79) 00:04:23.529 --> 00:04:31.290 “Therefore woe be unto those who write the Scripture with their hands and then say, "This is from Allah," that they may purchase a small gain therewith. Woe unto them for that their hands have written, and woe unto them for that they earn thereby.” (2:79) 00:04:31.810 --> 00:04:40.970 “Therefore woe be unto those who write the Scripture with their hands and then say, "This is from Allah," that they may purchase a small gain therewith. Woe unto them for that their hands have written, and woe unto them for that they earn thereby.” (2:79) 00:04:41.980 --> 00:04:47.579 The punishment—which is drinking the pus of the people of Hell in the depths of the Fire— 00:04:47.939 --> 00:04:50.660 is for the Jews who distorted the Book of Allah, 00:04:51.180 --> 00:04:55.339 and wrote a book based on their own interpretations, 00:04:55.819 --> 00:05:01.139 contrary to what Allah revealed to His Prophet Musa, peace be upon him, 00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:06.300 then sold it to a people who had no knowledge of it nor of what was in the Torah, 00:05:06.740 --> 00:05:08.980 being ignorant of what is in the Books of Allah, 00:05:09.459 --> 00:05:12.139 for the sake of a paltry worldly gain. 00:05:12.779 --> 00:05:15.899 So, the punishment is for them because of what their hands have written, 00:05:16.459 --> 00:05:19.620 and woe to them for the sins they commit, 00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:24.420 and the transgressions they perpetrate, and the forbidden wealth they acquire. 00:05:25.459 --> 00:05:33.379 “And they say: The Fire (of punishment) will not touch us save for a certain number of days. Say: Have ye received a covenant from Allah - truly Allah will not break His covenant - or tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not?” (2:80) 00:05:33.819 --> 00:05:41.819 “And they say: The Fire (of punishment) will not touch us save for a certain number of days. Say: Have ye received a covenant from Allah - truly Allah will not break His covenant - or tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not?” (2:80) 00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:47.620 “And they say: The Fire (of punishment) will not touch us save for a certain number of days. Say: Have ye received a covenant from Allah - truly Allah will not break His covenant - or tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not?” (2:80) 00:05:48.790 --> 00:05:50.189 The Jews said, 00:05:50.829 --> 00:05:52.949 "Our bodies will not touch the Fire," 00:05:53.430 --> 00:05:56.709 "and we will not enter it except for a limited number of days." 00:05:57.430 --> 00:05:59.790 Say, O Muhammad, to the company of Jews, 00:06:00.430 --> 00:06:04.790 "Have you taken a covenant from Allah regarding what you say of that?" 00:06:05.269 --> 00:06:07.389 For Allah does not break His covenant, 00:06:07.790 --> 00:06:10.189 nor does He alter His promise and His bond. 00:06:10.910 --> 00:06:15.430 Or do you say about Allah that which is false, out of ignorance and audacity toward Him? 00:06:16.230 --> 00:06:24.790 Yes, whoever earns evil and his sin has encompassed him, 00:06:24.790 --> 00:06:36.709 those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally. 00:06:37.949 --> 00:06:43.389 Yes, He will punish whoever associates partners with Allah, disbelieves in Him and His messengers, 00:06:44.029 --> 00:06:47.110 and commits numerous sins that have gathered upon him, 00:06:47.629 --> 00:06:50.629 and dies in that state before repentance and turning back. 00:06:51.310 --> 00:06:53.230 Those are the companions of the Fire; 00:06:53.750 --> 00:06:56.149 they will dwell therein forever. 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.879 And those who believe and do righteous deeds, 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:06.360 those are the companions of Paradise; 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.560 they will abide therein eternally. 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:16.720 And those who believe in what Muhammad, peace be upon him, has brought, 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:18.360 and obey Allah, 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.720 establishing His boundaries and fulfilling His obligations, 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:24.000 and avoiding His prohibitions, 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.920 those are the companions of Paradise, abiding therein forever. 00:07:29.970 --> 00:07:34.689 And when We took the covenant of the Children of Israel, 00:07:34.689 --> 00:07:37.209 “And (remember) when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel, (saying): Worship none save Allah (only), and be good to parents and to kindred and to orphans and the needy, and speak kindly to mankind; and establish worship and pay the poor-due. Then, after that, ye slid back, save a few of you, being averse.” (2:83) 00:07:37.209 --> 00:07:43.290 and to parents, good treatment. 00:07:43.290 --> 00:07:47.970 “And (remember) when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel, (saying): Worship none save Allah (only), and be good to parents and to kindred and to orphans and the needy, and speak kindly to mankind; and establish worship and pay the poor-due. Then, after that, ye slid back, save a few of you, being averse.” (2:83) 00:07:48.529 --> 00:07:52.329 “And (remember) when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel, (saying): Worship none save Allah (only), and be good to parents and to kindred and to orphans and the needy, and speak kindly to mankind; and establish worship and pay the poor-due. Then, after that, ye slid back, save a few of you, being averse.” (2:83) 00:07:52.329 --> 00:08:00.689 “And (remember) when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel, (saying): Worship none save Allah (only), and be good to parents and to kindred and to orphans and the needy, and speak kindly to mankind; and establish worship and pay the poor-due. Then, after that, ye slid back, save a few of you, being averse.” (2:83) 00:08:00.689 --> 00:08:11.290 “And (remember) when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel, (saying): Worship none save Allah (only), and be good to parents and to kindred and to orphans and the needy, and speak kindly to mankind; and establish worship and pay the poor-due. Then, after that, ye slid back, save a few of you, being averse.” (2:83) 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.680 And remember also, O company of the Children of Israel, 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:22.800 when We took your covenant that you would worship none but Allah alone, without any partners, 00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.240 and to parents, good treatment, 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:30.120 and to relatives, that you maintain ties of kinship and acknowledge their rights, 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.159 and to orphans, that you show them kindness and compassion, 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:41.480 and to the poor, who are humbled by poverty and need, that you give them their rights, 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.279 and that you speak to people good words, 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.120 and perform the prayer with its obligations required of you, 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.720 and give the zakat which has been made obligatory upon you from your wealth. 00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:56.080 Then you violated His command in all of that, 00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.480 and turned away, except for those among them whom Allah protected. 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.039 So he fulfilled his covenant and promise to Allah. 00:09:06.110 --> 00:09:11.909 “And when We made with you a covenant (saying): Shed not the blood of your people nor turn (a party of) your people out of your dwellings. Then ye ratified (Our covenant) and ye were witnesses (thereto).” (2:84) 00:09:11.909 --> 00:09:20.990 “And when We made with you a covenant (saying): Shed not the blood of your people nor turn (a party of) your people out of your dwellings. Then ye ratified (Our covenant) and ye were witnesses (thereto).” (2:84) 00:09:20.990 --> 00:09:26.110 “And when We made with you a covenant (saying): Shed not the blood of your people nor turn (a party of) your people out of your dwellings. Then ye ratified (Our covenant) and ye were witnesses (thereto).” (2:84) 00:09:27.419 --> 00:09:30.460 And remember also, O company of the Children of Israel, 00:09:30.980 --> 00:09:32.779 when We took your covenant, 00:09:33.179 --> 00:09:37.059 that you would not shed your own blood, so that you would not kill one another, 00:09:37.580 --> 00:09:40.539 nor drive one another out of your homes. 00:09:41.059 --> 00:09:44.860 Then you acknowledged the covenant which We took from you. 00:09:45.580 --> 00:09:56.580 “Yet ye it is who slay each other and drive out a party of your people from their homes, supporting one another against them by sin and transgression? - and if they came to you as captives ye would ransom them, whereas their expulsion was itself unlawful for you - Believe ye in part of the Scripture and disbelieve ye in part thereof? And what is the reward of those who do so save ignominy in the life of the world, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be consigned to the most grievous doom.

For Allah is not unaware of what ye do.” (2:85) 00:10:17.019 --> 00:10:23.259 And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them. 00:10:23.259 --> 00:10:27.179 “Yet ye it is who slay each other and drive out a party of your people from their homes, supporting one another against them by sin and transgression? - and if they came to you as captives ye would ransom them, whereas their expulsion was itself unlawful for you - Believe ye in part of the Scripture and disbelieve ye in part thereof?

Their punishment will not be lightened, neither will they have support.” (2:86) 00:12:12.940 --> 00:12:20.840 “Such are those who buy the life of the world at the price of the Hereafter. Their punishment will not be lightened, neither will they have support.” (2:86) 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:26.000 Those are the ones who believe in part of the Book and disbelieve in part. 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.919 They purchased the leadership of the worldly life 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.840 over the weak, the ignorant, and the foolish among their own people, 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:38.879 and traded their faith for the base and vile sustenance of this world. 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.519 “Such are those who buy the life of the world at the price of the Hereafter. Their punishment will not be lightened, neither will they have support.” (2:86) 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.309 And no one will help them in the Hereafter. 00:12:45.350 --> 00:12:53.309 “And verily We gave unto Moses the Scripture and We caused a train of messengers to follow after him, and We gave unto Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah's sovereignty), and We supported him with the Holy spirit. Is it ever so, that, when there cometh unto you a messenger (from Allah) with that which ye yourselves desire not, ye grow arrogant, and some ye disbelieve and some ye slay?” (2:87) 00:12:53.309 --> 00:12:57.269 And We gave 'Isa ibn Maryam clear proofs, 00:12:57.269 --> 00:13:00.750 and supported him with the Holy Spirit. 00:13:00.750 --> 00:13:08.230 Is it that whenever a messenger came to you with what your souls did not desire, 00:13:08.230 --> 00:13:18.950 “And verily We gave unto Moses the Scripture and We caused a train of messengers to follow after him, and We gave unto Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah's sovereignty), and We supported him with the Holy spirit. Is it ever so, that, when there cometh unto you a messenger (from Allah) with that which ye yourselves desire not, ye grow arrogant, and some ye disbelieve and some ye slay?” (2:87) 00:13:18.950 --> 00:13:23.659 And We indeed revealed the Torah to Musa, peace be upon him, 00:13:23.659 --> 00:13:28.539 and We followed up after Musa with messengers, one after another. 00:13:28.539 --> 00:13:33.740 And We gave 'Isa ibn Maryam clear proofs indicating his prophethood, 00:13:33.740 --> 00:13:37.139 and strengthened him with Jibril, peace be upon him. 00:13:37.460 --> 00:13:42.340 Allah named Jibril a spirit and attributed him to the Holy, 00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:49.539 because he was created by Allah as a spirit from Him without the birth of a parent. 00:13:49.539 --> 00:13:53.220 And He attributed him to the Holy, which is purity. 00:13:53.220 --> 00:13:56.740 And you, whenever a messenger came to you from My messengers, 00:13:56.740 --> 00:13:59.620 with something other than what your souls desired, 00:13:59.620 --> 00:14:03.340 you grew arrogant toward them, out of tyranny and transgression. 00:14:03.340 --> 00:14:07.340 So you denied some of them and killed some. 00:14:07.340 --> 00:14:10.870 This has always been your conduct toward My messengers. 00:14:10.870 --> 00:14:13.990 And they said, "Our hearts are wrapped." 00:14:13.990 --> 00:14:21.870 So Allah cursed them for their disbelief, so little do they believe. 00:14:21.870 --> 00:14:25.789 And they said, "Our hearts are in coverings and veils." 00:14:25.789 --> 00:14:28.470 But it is not as they claimed. 00:14:28.470 --> 00:14:32.269 Rather, Allah has cast them far away, distanced them, and driven them out, 00:14:32.350 --> 00:14:38.149 and disgraced them and destroyed them for their disbelief and their denial of the signs and clear proofs of Allah, 00:14:38.149 --> 00:14:40.669 and their denial of His prophets. 00:14:40.669 --> 00:14:44.269 So, very little do they believe. 00:14:44.269 --> 00:14:51.509 “And when there cometh unto them a scripture from Allah, confirming that in their possession - though before that they were asking for a signal triumph over those who disbelieved - and when there cometh unto them that which they know (to be the truth) they disbelieve therein. The curse of Allah is on disbelievers.” (2:89) 00:14:51.509 --> 00:14:56.629 confirming what is with them. 00:14:56.629 --> 00:15:02.190 “And when there cometh unto them a scripture from Allah, confirming that in their possession - though before that they were asking for a signal triumph over those who disbelieved - and when there cometh unto them that which they know (to be the truth) they disbelieve therein. The curse of Allah is on disbelievers.” (2:89) 00:15:02.190 --> 00:15:12.190 But when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it. 00:15:12.190 --> 00:15:16.879 “And when there cometh unto them a scripture from Allah, confirming that in their possession - though before that they were asking for a signal triumph over those who disbelieved - and when there cometh unto them that which they know (to be the truth) they disbelieve therein. The curse of Allah is on disbelievers.” (2:89) 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.639 And when the Book of Allah, the Qur'an, came to the Jews, 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:25.039 which was revealed to Muhammad, peace be upon him, 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.440 and it is a confirmation of what they have of the Books 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.240 which Allah revealed before, 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.519 and these Jews used to 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.399 seek victory from Allah through the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.120 against the polytheists of the Arabs before his mission. 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.360 But when Muhammad, peace be upon him, came to them, 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:49.519 they disbelieved in him because he was not from the Children of Israel. 00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:52.679 So the disgrace of Allah and His distance are upon the disbelievers. 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.340 “When they listen to that which hath been revealed unto the messengers, thou seest their eyes overflow with tears because of their recognition of the Truth. They say: Our Lord, we believe. Inscribe us as among the witnesses.” (5:83) 00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:58.820 Wretched is that for which they sold themselves. 00:15:58.820 --> 00:16:08.419 “Evil is that for which they sell their souls: that they should disbelieve in that which Allah hath revealed, grudging that Allah should reveal of His bounty unto whom He will of His slaves. They have incurred anger upon anger. For disbelievers is a shameful doom.” (2:90) 00:16:08.419 --> 00:16:16.860 “Evil is that for which they sell their souls: that they should disbelieve in that which Allah hath revealed, grudging that Allah should reveal of His bounty unto whom He will of His slaves. They have incurred anger upon anger. For disbelievers is a shameful doom.” (2:90) 00:16:16.860 --> 00:16:22.340 upon whom He wills of His servants. 00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:27.059 “Evil is that for which they sell their souls: that they should disbelieve in that which Allah hath revealed, grudging that Allah should reveal of His bounty unto whom He will of His slaves. They have incurred anger upon anger. For disbelievers is a shameful doom.” (2:90) 00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:33.179 And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment. 00:16:33.179 --> 00:16:36.860 It is a wretched thing for which the Jews sold themselves: 00:16:36.860 --> 00:16:39.259 their disbelief in what Allah revealed, 00:16:39.259 --> 00:16:41.340 out of transgression and envy, 00:16:41.340 --> 00:16:44.899 because Allah revealed His wisdom and His signs, 00:16:44.899 --> 00:16:49.580 and His prophethood, to Muhammad, peace be upon him, 00:16:49.580 --> 00:16:51.620 and he is from the descendants of Isma'il, 00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:54.379 and not from the Children of Israel. 00:16:54.379 --> 00:16:57.059 So the Jews returned with wrath upon wrath from Allah, 00:16:57.100 --> 00:16:59.419 for their disbelief and denial, 00:16:59.419 --> 00:17:02.899 upon a previous wrath for their disbelief in 'Isa, 00:17:02.899 --> 00:17:05.099 and for their worship of the calf, 00:17:05.099 --> 00:17:08.339 or for other sins that preceded. 00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:13.220 And for those who deny the prophethood of Muhammad, peace be upon him, 00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:16.740 is a punishment from Allah that humiliates its bearer, 00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:18.339 bringing disgrace and ignominy, 00:17:18.339 --> 00:17:22.420 either in the Hereafter or in this world. 00:17:22.420 --> 00:17:24.180 And when it is said to them, 00:17:24.180 --> 00:17:27.259 “And when it is said unto them: Believe in that which Allah hath revealed, they say: We believe in that which was revealed unto us. And they disbelieve in that which cometh after it, though it is the truth confirming that which they possess. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Why then slew ye the prophets of Allah aforetime, if ye are (indeed) believers?” (2:91) 00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:36.220 “And when it is said unto them: Believe in that which Allah hath revealed, they say: We believe in that which was revealed unto us. And they disbelieve in that which cometh after it, though it is the truth confirming that which they possess. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Why then slew ye the prophets of Allah aforetime, if ye are (indeed) believers?” (2:91) 00:17:36.220 --> 00:17:44.940 and they disbelieve in what is beyond it. 00:17:44.940 --> 00:17:49.019 “And when it is said unto them: Believe in that which Allah hath revealed, they say: We believe in that which was revealed unto us. And they disbelieve in that which cometh after it, though it is the truth confirming that which they possess. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Why then slew ye the prophets of Allah aforetime, if ye are (indeed) believers?” (2:91) 00:17:49.059 --> 00:17:55.380 “And when it is said unto them: Believe in that which Allah hath revealed, they say: We believe in that which was revealed unto us. And they disbelieve in that which cometh after it, though it is the truth confirming that which they possess. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Why then slew ye the prophets of Allah aforetime, if ye are (indeed) believers?” (2:91) 00:17:55.380 --> 00:18:00.299 if you are believers. 00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:02.299 And also it was said to the Jews, 00:18:02.299 --> 00:18:05.819 "Believe in what Allah has revealed of the Qur'an." 00:18:05.819 --> 00:18:10.420 They said, "We believe in what was revealed to us of the Torah," 00:18:10.420 --> 00:18:13.140 and they deny what is besides it. 00:18:13.140 --> 00:18:16.500 And what is beyond the Book that was revealed to them, 00:18:16.539 --> 00:18:18.220 which is the Qur'an, 00:18:18.220 --> 00:18:19.460 is the truth, 00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:22.859 and is in agreement with the Book that is with them. 00:18:22.859 --> 00:18:24.940 Say, O Muhammad, to them, 00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:28.259 "Why did you kill the prophets of Allah before?" 00:18:28.259 --> 00:18:36.990 "If you, O company of Jews, are believers in what Allah revealed to you, as you claim." 00:18:36.990 --> 00:18:40.950 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
