Thus We recompense the criminal people 00:03:23.990 --> 00:03:27.110 Which shows the sincerity of the one who brought it 00:03:27.590 --> 00:03:32.229 These nations would not have believed and believed their messengers 00:03:32.710 --> 00:03:37.349 And just as We destroyed these centuries before you, O polytheists 00:03:37.830 --> 00:03:42.310 This is what they did to you, so I destroyed you for your polytheism with your Lord 00:03:42.710 --> 00:03:47.430 And by denying your Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:03:47.750 --> 00:03:49.909 By wronging yourselves 00:03:54.580 --> 00:04:06.740 Caliphs on earth after them, so that we may see how you act 00:04:08.020 --> 00:04:12.979 Then We made you, O people, successors after these centuries 00:04:13.539 --> 00:04:18.980 So that your Lord may see where your deeds compare to the deeds of those nations who perished before you 00:04:19.540 --> 00:04:22.500 You deserve the punishment they deserve 00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:27.220 Or do you differ from their path and believe in God and His Messenger? 00:04:27.620 --> 00:04:30.100 And you acknowledge the resurrection after death 00:04:30.579 --> 00:04:34.180 So you deserve a great reward from your Lord 00:04:35.620 --> 00:04:40.339 And when Our clear verses are recited to them 00:04:40.660 --> 00:04:45.379 Those who do not hope to meet us said 00:04:45.699 --> 00:04:54.899 Those who do not hope to meet us said, “Repent a Qur’an other than this or change it.” 00:04:55.300 --> 00:05:02.500 Say what I have to change on my own 00:05:02.819 --> 00:05:06.500 I follow only what is revealed to me 00:05:07.060 --> 00:05:14.060 I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the punishment of a great day 00:05:15.579 --> 00:05:19.980 And if he reads to these polytheists the verses of the Book of God 00:05:20.540 --> 00:05:24.060 What We have revealed to you, O Muhammad, is clear 00:05:24.860 --> 00:05:30.060 Those who do not fear our punishment and are not certain of the return to us said 00:05:30.779 --> 00:05:33.980 Bring a Qur’an other than this or something else 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:40.040 Tell them, O Muhammad, I cannot replace it with my own 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:45.639 What I follow in everything I command you, O people, and prohibit you from 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.759 Except what He sends down to my Lord 00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:54.600 I fear God if I disobey His command and change the provisions of His Book 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.560 The torment of a great and terrifying day 00:06:01.370 --> 00:06:10.810 By God, I did not recite it to you, nor did He make it known to you 00:06:11.449 --> 00:06:16.730 I stayed with you for a lifetime before that 00:06:17.290 --> 00:06:20.250 Do you not understand? 00:06:21.459 --> 00:06:22.819 Tell them, Muhammad 00:06:23.620 --> 00:06:28.100 If God had willed, I would not have recited this Qur’an to you, people 00:06:28.579 --> 00:06:30.100 I do not inform you of it 00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:35.699 I stayed with you for forty years before I recited it to you 00:06:36.259 --> 00:06:41.139 Do you not understand that if I were an impersonator I would not have any say? 00:06:41.620 --> 00:06:44.660 I had impersonated him in my younger days 00:06:45.060 --> 00:06:48.019 And before the time that I recited to you 00:06:49.990 --> 00:06:57.750 Who is more unjust than he who invents a lie against God or denies His signs? 00:06:58.149 --> 00:07:04.149 It does not prosper criminals 00:07:05.660 --> 00:07:08.540 Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists 00:07:09.100 --> 00:07:13.980 That is, a creation more transgressing than one who fabricates a lie against God 00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:18.459 Or he lied about his proofs, his messengers, and the verses of his book 00:07:19.100 --> 00:07:24.300 What you added me to is not more surprising than your lying to your Lord 00:07:24.939 --> 00:07:31.259 Those who committed disbelief in this world will not succeed on the Day of Resurrection when they meet their Lord 00:07:31.819 --> 00:07:33.819 They do not achieve success 00:07:35.220 --> 00:07:46.420 They worship instead of God that which neither harms them nor benefits them 00:07:46.420 --> 00:08:00.660 They say: These are our intercessors with God 00:08:01.139 --> 00:08:08.259 Say, “Do you inform God of what He does not know in the heavens or on earth?” 00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:15.540 Glory be to Him, Most High above what they associate with Him 00:08:17.379 --> 00:08:21.220 These polytheists worship Muhammad instead of God 00:08:21.699 --> 00:08:26.500 That which does not harm them at all or benefit them in this world or in the hereafter 00:08:27.139 --> 00:08:33.139 They say that they worshiped her in hope of her intercession with God 00:08:33.929 --> 00:08:39.610 Tell them, “Do you inform God of what is not in the heavens or on earth?” 00:08:40.250 --> 00:08:45.769 This is because the gods do not intercede for them with God in the heavens or on earth 00:08:46.580 --> 00:08:50.899 The polytheists claimed that it would intercede for them with God 00:08:51.620 --> 00:08:57.620 Rather, God knows that that is contrary to what you say and that it does not intercede for anyone 00:08:58.419 --> 00:09:05.860 His purity to God and his superiority to what these polytheists do by slandering him with lies 00:09:07.620 --> 00:09:15.620 People were only one nation, but they differed 00:09:15.940 --> 00:09:25.620 Had it not been for a word that had preceded from your Lord, it would have been decided between them concerning that in which they differed 00:09:26.950 --> 00:09:31.590 People were only people of one religion and one religion 00:09:32.230 --> 00:09:36.789 They differed in their religion, and their paths separated in that regard 00:09:37.590 --> 00:09:44.230 Had it not been that God had previously stated that He would not destroy a people except after their time had passed 00:09:44.710 --> 00:09:50.710 It was decided between them that the people of falsehood among them would perish and the people of truth would be saved 00:09:52.899 --> 00:10:14.539 And they say, “If only a sign had been sent down to him from his Lord.” So say, “The unseen belongs to God.” So wait. Indeed, I am with you among those who wait. 00:10:15.909 --> 00:10:26.309 These polytheists say: Should I not send down knowledge and evidence to Muhammad by which we can know that Muhammad is right in what he says? 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:37.240 So say, O Muhammad, no one knows about doing that except him, because no one knows the secret and hidden things except God 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:44.840 So wait, O people, for God’s judgment among us by hastening His punishment for the one among us who is negligent 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:51.159 And his rightful manifestation is that I am with you among those who are waiting for that 00:10:52.860 --> 00:11:12.059 And when We make people taste mercy after a hardship that has afflicted them, they will certainly plot against Our signs 00:11:12.379 --> 00:11:21.610 Say, “God is quicker to plot. Indeed, Our messengers write down what you plot.” 00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:30.779 And when We provide the polytheists with relief after distress, then they will mock and deny Our verses 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:40.519 Say to these polytheists, O Muhammad, may God hasten your attack, lure, and punishment from you 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:48.840 Our guardians whom we send to you, O people, will write down what you plot in Our verses 00:11:50.340 --> 00:12:09.460 It is He who guides you on land and sea, even when you are in ships and sailing with a good wind 00:12:10.019 --> 00:12:28.419 And they rejoiced because a stormy wind came and waves came to them from everywhere 00:12:28.419 --> 00:12:54.059 And they thought that they were surrounded. They called on God, sincerely in religion for Him, because if you came to us from this, we will certainly be among those who are thankful. 00:13:00.059 --> 00:13:12.179 Even when you are in ships and people are carrying them with a good wind on the sea, and the ship’s passengers rejoice in the good wind with which they are traveling. 00:13:12.179 --> 00:13:24.179 The waves came from everywhere and they thought that destruction had surrounded them. They prayed most sincerely to God there, not to their idols and gods. 00:13:24.179 --> 00:13:36.360 Because if you come to us from this hardship, we will be among those who are thankful to you for your blessings with our sincerity in worshiping you rather than the gods. 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:06.360 Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you did 00:14:09.379 --> 00:14:19.379 When God saved those who thought that they had been surrounded by the sea, they broke their promise to God and transgressed on earth. 00:14:20.340 --> 00:14:26.340 They do not stray into anything other than what God has permitted for them, such as disbelief and acting in disobedience 00:14:28.340 --> 00:14:32.340 O people, your aggression that you commit is against yourselves 00:14:34.340 --> 00:14:38.340 This is what you are communicating about in the immediate future of your world 00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:42.340 Then to us after that is your fate 00:14:44.340 --> 00:14:48.340 We will inform you on the Day of Resurrection of what you did in this world of disobedience to God 00:14:50.340 --> 00:14:53.269 For your previous deeds 00:14:55.269 --> 00:15:09.269 It is only like the life of this world as if We sent it down from heaven 00:15:11.269 --> 00:15:19.399 So the plants of the earth became mixed with it, which is what people and livestock eat 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:31.399 Even when the earth is taken, it is adorned and beautified 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:45.399 Its people thought they were capable of overcoming it. Our command came to it, day or night 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:58.360 So We made it a harvest as if it had not been sung yesterday. Thus We detail the verses for those who ponder 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:07.029 It is just like what you brag about in this world and boast about its adornments and wealth 00:16:09.029 --> 00:16:11.029 With all the annoyance and turmoil he has been entrusted with 00:16:11.990 --> 00:16:15.990 Like rain we sent from the sky to the earth 00:16:17.990 --> 00:16:21.990 With that rain, various types of plants grew, mixing with each other 00:16:23.990 --> 00:16:27.990 Even when the beauty and splendor of the earth appears and is adorned 00:16:29.990 --> 00:16:31.990 The people of the earth thought that they were capable of what it produced 00:16:33.990 --> 00:16:35.990 Our decree came upon the earth to fill it with plants 00:16:37.990 --> 00:16:39.990 Either day or night 00:16:41.990 --> 00:16:43.990 So We made what was on it cut off from its roots 00:16:45.990 --> 00:16:51.990 As if those crops and plants were not sprouting and standing on the ground before that yesterday 00:16:53.990 --> 00:16:55.990 As we have explained to you, people, it is like the world 00:16:57.990 --> 00:17:01.990 We also explain our arguments and evidence to those who think and consider 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:07.079 God calls to the abode of peace 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:11.079 And He guides whom He wills 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:21.079 He guides whomever He wills to a straight path 00:17:23.690 --> 00:17:25.690 O people, do not seek the world and its adornments 00:17:27.690 --> 00:17:29.690 Its fate is to extinction and extinction 00:17:31.690 --> 00:17:33.690 But he asked for the remaining afterlife 00:17:35.690 --> 00:17:37.690 God is calling you to His home 00:17:39.690 --> 00:17:41.690 These are His gardens that He prepared for His saints 00:17:43.690 --> 00:17:45.690 Who created him and guides him to the straight path 00:17:47.690 --> 00:17:51.690 It is Islam that made him a means to achieve his satisfaction 00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:57.220 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
