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 Yunus
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
If God hastened evil for people just as they hasten good, it would have been fulfilled for them
To fulfill their term
So we warn those who do not hope to meet Us in their villages to go blind
Even if God hastens for people to answer their prayers regarding evil
This is harmful to their lives or property
Such as his hastening to do good for them by answering them if they called him for it
They would have perished and death would hastened for them
So we call upon those who do not fear our punishment and are not certain of the resurrection or the resurrection
In their rebellion and arrogance they hesitate
If harm befalls a person, he calls us on his side, sitting, or standing
When We removed his harm from him, he passed away as if he had not called us to the harm that befell him
Likewise, what they used to do has been made pleasing to the extravagant
If a person is afflicted with hardship and effort
He asked us for help in revealing this to him
Lying on his side, sitting or standing
In the condition he is in when that harm befalls him
When we relieved him of the stress that befell him
Continue in the first way before harm befalls him
He forgot or forgot about the effort and tribulation he had undergone
And he left thanks to his Lord who released him
It was also adorned for this person to continue his disbelief after God revealed him
Likewise, it is adorned for those who lie to God and His prophets to excess
What they were doing was disobeying God and associating with Him
We have destroyed the nations that rejected God’s messengers before you, O polytheists
When they committed polytheism and disobeyed God’s command and prohibition
Their messengers came to them from God with signs and arguments
Which shows their daughters with clear evidence
Their messengers came to them with clear proofs
And they would not have believed. Thus We recompense the criminal people
Which shows the sincerity of the one who brought it
These nations would not have believed and believed their messengers
And just as We destroyed these centuries before you, O polytheists
This is what they did to you, so I destroyed you for your polytheism with your Lord
And by denying your Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
By wronging yourselves
Caliphs on earth after them, so that we may see how you act
Then We made you, O people, successors after these centuries
So that your Lord may see where your deeds compare to the deeds of those nations who perished before you
You deserve the punishment they deserve
Or do you differ from their path and believe in God and His Messenger?
And you acknowledge the resurrection after death
So you deserve a great reward from your Lord
And when Our clear verses are recited to them
Those who do not hope to meet us said
Those who do not hope to meet us said, “Repent a Qur’an other than this or change it.”
Say what I have to change on my own
I follow only what is revealed to me
I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the punishment of a great day
And if he reads to these polytheists the verses of the Book of God
What We have revealed to you, O Muhammad, is clear
Those who do not fear our punishment and are not certain of the return to us said
Bring a Qur’an other than this or something else
Tell them, O Muhammad, I cannot replace it with my own
What I follow in everything I command you, O people, and prohibit you from
Except what He sends down to my Lord
I fear God if I disobey His command and change the provisions of His Book
The torment of a great and terrifying day
By God, I did not recite it to you, nor did He make it known to you
I stayed with you for a lifetime before that
Do you not understand?
Tell them, Muhammad
If God had willed, I would not have recited this Qur’an to you, people
I do not inform you of it
I stayed with you for forty years before I recited it to you
Do you not understand that if I were an impersonator I would not have any say?
I had impersonated him in my younger days
And before the time that I recited to you
Who is more unjust than he who invents a lie against God or denies His signs?
It does not prosper criminals
Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists
That is, a creation more transgressing than one who fabricates a lie against God
Or he lied about his proofs, his messengers, and the verses of his book
What you added me to is not more surprising than your lying to your Lord
Those who committed disbelief in this world will not succeed on the Day of Resurrection when they meet their Lord
They do not achieve success
They worship instead of God that which neither harms them nor benefits them
They say: These are our intercessors with God
Say, “Do you inform God of what He does not know in the heavens or on earth?”
Glory be to Him, Most High above what they associate with Him
These polytheists worship Muhammad instead of God
That which does not harm them at all or benefit them in this world or in the hereafter
They say that they worshiped her in hope of her intercession with God
Tell them, “Do you inform God of what is not in the heavens or on earth?”
This is because the gods do not intercede for them with God in the heavens or on earth
The polytheists claimed that it would intercede for them with God
Rather, God knows that that is contrary to what you say and that it does not intercede for anyone
His purity to God and his superiority to what these polytheists do by slandering him with lies
People were only one nation, but they differed
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
People were only people of one religion and one religion
They differed in their religion, and their paths separated in that regard
Had it not been that God had previously stated that He would not destroy a people except after their time had passed
It was decided between them that the people of falsehood among them would perish and the people of truth would be saved
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.
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?
So say, O Muhammad, no one knows about doing that except him, because no one knows the secret and hidden things except God
So wait, O people, for God’s judgment among us by hastening His punishment for the one among us who is negligent
And his rightful manifestation is that I am with you among those who are waiting for that
And when We make people taste mercy after a hardship that has afflicted them, they will certainly plot against Our signs
Say, “God is quicker to plot. Indeed, Our messengers write down what you plot.”
And when We provide the polytheists with relief after distress, then they will mock and deny Our verses
Say to these polytheists, O Muhammad, may God hasten your attack, lure, and punishment from you
Our guardians whom we send to you, O people, will write down what you plot in Our verses
It is He who guides you on land and sea, even when you are in ships and sailing with a good wind
And they rejoiced because a stormy wind came and waves came to them from everywhere
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.
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.
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.
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.
Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you did
When God saved those who thought that they had been surrounded by the sea, they broke their promise to God and transgressed on earth.
They do not stray into anything other than what God has permitted for them, such as disbelief and acting in disobedience
O people, your aggression that you commit is against yourselves
This is what you are communicating about in the immediate future of your world
Then to us after that is your fate
We will inform you on the Day of Resurrection of what you did in this world of disobedience to God
For your previous deeds
It is only like the life of this world as if We sent it down from heaven
So the plants of the earth became mixed with it, which is what people and livestock eat
Even when the earth is taken, it is adorned and beautified
Its people thought they were capable of overcoming it. Our command came to it, day or night
So We made it a harvest as if it had not been sung yesterday. Thus We detail the verses for those who ponder
It is just like what you brag about in this world and boast about its adornments and wealth
With all the annoyance and turmoil he has been entrusted with
Like rain we sent from the sky to the earth
With that rain, various types of plants grew, mixing with each other
Even when the beauty and splendor of the earth appears and is adorned
The people of the earth thought that they were capable of what it produced
Our decree came upon the earth to fill it with plants
Either day or night
So We made what was on it cut off from its roots
As if those crops and plants were not sprouting and standing on the ground before that yesterday
As we have explained to you, people, it is like the world
We also explain our arguments and evidence to those who think and consider
God calls to the abode of peace
And He guides whom He wills
He guides whomever He wills to a straight path
O people, do not seek the world and its adornments
Its fate is to extinction and extinction
But he asked for the remaining afterlife
God is calling you to His home
These are His gardens that He prepared for His saints
Who created him and guides him to the straight path
It is Islam that made him a means to achieve his satisfaction
