WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.080 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari. 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:12.740 Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari. 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.859 Surah Hud. 00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.579 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:22.579 --> 00:00:28.629 Alif Lam Ra. 00:00:28.629 --> 00:00:36.909 “Alif. Lam. Ra. (This is) a Scripture the revelations whereof are perfected and then expounded. (It cometh) from One Wise, Informed,” (11:1) 00:00:37.869 --> 00:00:39.710 Alif Lam Ra. 00:00:39.710 --> 00:00:44.350 This Qur'an is a Book whose verses have been perfected by Allah, free from any flaw or falsehood. 00:00:44.350 --> 00:00:48.429 Then, He detailed them with commands, prohibitions, the lawful, and the unlawful. 00:00:48.429 --> 00:00:52.509 From One who is All-Wise in the arrangement and decreeing of all things. 00:00:52.509 --> 00:00:56.109 And All-Aware of the ultimate consequences of all matters. 00:00:56.909 --> 00:01:09.739 “(Saying): Serve none but Allah. Lo! I am unto you from Him a warner and a bringer of good tidings.” (11:2) 00:01:09.739 --> 00:01:14.780 Then, they were detailed with the command that you worship none but Allah alone, with no partner beside Him. 00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:20.459 Indeed, I am a warner to you from Allah, warning you of His punishment for disobeying Him. 00:01:20.459 --> 00:01:25.340 And I am a bearer of glad tidings, promising you abundant reward for your obedience to Him. 00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:39.379 “And (bidding you): Ask pardon of your Lord and turn to Him repentant. He will cause you to enjoy a fair estate until a time appointed. He giveth His bounty unto every bountiful one. But if ye turn away, lo! (then) I fear for you the retribution of an awful Day.” (11:3) 00:01:39.379 --> 00:01:47.140 Until a specified term, and He gives every person of grace their due grace. 00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:57.180 “And (bidding you): Ask pardon of your Lord and turn to Him repentant. He will cause you to enjoy a fair estate until a time appointed. He giveth His bounty unto every bountiful one. But if ye turn away, lo! (then) I fear for you the retribution of an awful Day.” (11:3) 00:02:18.139 --> 00:02:21.659 Until the time He has decreed for your death. 00:02:21.659 --> 00:02:27.979 And He rewards everyone who shows favor to others through their wealth, strength, or good deeds. 00:02:27.979 --> 00:02:33.659 Seeking thereby the countenance of Allah, He will grant them the most abundant reward and bounty in the Hereafter. 00:02:33.659 --> 00:02:36.780 And if they turn away from that to which I have invited them: 00:02:36.780 --> 00:02:44.419 Then, O my people, I fear for you the punishment of a Day whose affair is momentous and whose terror is great. 00:02:48.979 --> 00:02:55.330 To Allah, O my people, is your return and your final destination. 00:02:55.330 --> 00:02:58.689 And He is capable of resurrecting you after your death. 00:02:58.689 --> 00:03:05.810 And He is capable of punishing you for associating partners with Him and for all else that He intends for you and others. 00:03:19.650 --> 00:03:25.569 Behold, some of the hypocrites fold their chests to hide from Allah. 00:03:25.569 --> 00:03:32.270 “Lo! now they fold up their breasts that they may hide (their thoughts) from Him. At the very moment when they cover themselves with their clothing, Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which they proclaim. Lo! He is Aware of what is in the breasts (of men).” (11:5) 00:03:32.270 --> 00:03:38.590 Indeed, Allah has full knowledge of everything His creation conceals in their hearts, whether it be faith or disbelief. 00:03:38.590 --> 00:03:41.870 So beware of what you conceal within yourselves. 00:03:41.870 --> 00:03:46.990 And when they hide what is in their hearts—when they hide what is in their hearts— 00:03:47.069 --> 00:03:49.069 Of faith or disbelief. 00:03:49.069 --> 00:03:56.349 Beware that your Lord may see you while you are harboring doubt within your hearts. 00:03:56.349 --> 00:04:00.349 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
