WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.080 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.539 --> 00:00:12.740 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 00:00:13.949 --> 00:00:16.030 Surah Al-Baqarah 00:00:17.789 --> 00:00:22.789 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.449 --> 00:00:32.250 And when Abraham was told by his Lord, he fulfilled them 00:00:32.570 --> 00:00:38.450 He said, “I will make you a leader for the people.” 00:00:38.810 --> 00:00:42.289 He said, “And from my descendants.” 00:00:42.689 --> 00:00:47.329 He said: The covenant of the oppressors will not be attained 00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:51.140 And remember when God tested Abraham 00:00:51.619 --> 00:00:54.859 His test was a duty imposed on him 00:00:55.219 --> 00:00:56.740 He ordered him to do so 00:00:57.409 --> 00:00:59.490 Ibrahim completed the words 00:00:59.810 --> 00:01:03.210 Doing for God what He has commanded Him to do 00:01:03.729 --> 00:01:04.769 And God said 00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:06.450 Oh Ibrahim 00:01:06.890 --> 00:01:11.609 I am your destiny for people as a leader to be followed and followed 00:01:12.349 --> 00:01:13.510 Ibrahim said 00:01:14.069 --> 00:01:16.189 Oh my Lord and from my descendants 00:01:16.390 --> 00:01:18.790 So make imams to follow 00:01:19.390 --> 00:01:20.269 God said 00:01:20.829 --> 00:01:23.950 My covenant will not be violated by an enemy who disobeys me 00:01:24.629 --> 00:01:28.469 It is information from God Almighty that He mentioned it to Abraham 00:01:28.950 --> 00:01:33.469 Of his offspring are those who associate others with him and oppress himself and his servants 00:01:34.510 --> 00:01:41.510 And when We made the House a place of rest and security for the people 00:01:41.950 --> 00:01:47.310 They took the place of Abraham as a place of prayer 00:01:47.790 --> 00:01:54.750 We covenanted with Abraham and Ishmael to purify my house 00:01:55.189 --> 00:02:04.750 Purify My House for those who circle around, seclude themselves, and those who kneel and prostrate 00:02:06.030 --> 00:02:09.069 And remember when We made the House a reference for the people 00:02:09.349 --> 00:02:12.349 They come back every year and come back 00:02:12.789 --> 00:02:14.349 And we are safe 00:02:15.069 --> 00:02:19.110 O people, take the place of Abraham as a place of prayer 00:02:19.669 --> 00:02:25.389 You pray with him as an act of worship on your part and as an honor on my part to Abraham 00:02:26.150 --> 00:02:32.069 We commanded Abraham and Ishmael to purify my house of idols and idol worship 00:02:32.430 --> 00:02:34.830 For the sects who roam around 00:02:35.389 --> 00:02:39.030 And those staying at home without circumambulating or praying 00:02:39.590 --> 00:02:42.509 And the people kneeling and prostrating in it 00:02:43.650 --> 00:02:53.370 And when Abraham said, “My Lord, make this a safe country and provide its people with fruits.” 00:02:53.849 --> 00:03:02.210 And provide its family with fruits - whoever of them believes in God and the Last Day 00:03:02.650 --> 00:03:13.490 He said: And whoever has a lot, I will give him a little enjoyment, then I will force him to the torment of the Fire 00:03:13.969 --> 00:03:16.169 Good riddance 00:03:17.740 --> 00:03:19.780 And remember when Abraham said: 00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:25.939 Lord, make this country a safe country from the tyrants controlling it 00:03:26.580 --> 00:03:29.500 We were safe from God's punishment 00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:34.460 And provide the believers of the people of Mecca with fruits rather than the disbelievers 00:03:35.219 --> 00:03:36.340 God told him 00:03:36.939 --> 00:03:38.659 I answered your prayer 00:03:39.219 --> 00:03:42.939 And I will provide for the believers of the people of this country with their infidels 00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:49.659 So I will provide him with a little provision of fruits in this world until his time comes 00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:52.419 Then I will push him to the torment of Hell 00:03:52.939 --> 00:03:56.580 And I lead him to her, dragging and dragging his face 00:03:57.219 --> 00:04:02.020 And evil is the place to which the disbeliever finds himself in the torment of the Fire 00:04:21.069 --> 00:04:25.269 And remember when Abraham and Ishmael raised the foundation of the House 00:04:25.829 --> 00:04:26.750 They say 00:04:27.430 --> 00:04:32.269 May God accept our work, our obedience, and our worship of you 00:04:32.750 --> 00:04:36.470 When we finish your house that you ordered us to build 00:04:37.149 --> 00:04:40.470 You are the Hearer of our prayers and our requests 00:04:41.069 --> 00:04:45.829 The All-Knowing of what is in the consciences of our souls regarding our submission to You in obedience 00:04:46.350 --> 00:04:49.189 And what we reveal and hide of our deeds 00:04:50.329 --> 00:04:56.129 Our Lord, and make us Muslims for you and our descendants 00:04:56.129 --> 00:05:08.050 When we submit to you, show us our rituals and accept our repentance 00:05:08.529 --> 00:05:14.810 You are the Most Merciful 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:20.279 And make us submit to your command and submit to your obedience 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.839 We do not associate anyone with you in obedience except you 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.079 There is no one but you in worship 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.800 And from our descendants are two nations who have submitted to you 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.360 And show it to our eyes so we can see it 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.399 They castrated some of the offspring 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.240 Because God knew Abraham 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:44.360 There are those among his descendants who do not fulfill his covenant due to his injustice and immorality 00:05:45.220 --> 00:05:48.540 He showed our eyes the rituals and landmarks of Hajj 00:05:49.060 --> 00:05:54.180 And the places where he draws closer to you by doing good deeds that please you 00:05:54.899 --> 00:05:59.180 Either by sacrifice, or by prayer, circumambulation, or Sa’i 00:05:59.939 --> 00:06:05.779 And turn to us by pardoning us and pardoning our sins and forgiving us and being gracious to us 00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:09.699 It is You who returns favor to Your servants 00:06:10.220 --> 00:06:13.180 And He bestowed upon them pardon and forgiveness 00:06:13.819 --> 00:06:18.459 The Most Merciful to them, the One who rescues whomsoever You wish of them, by Your mercy 00:06:24.620 --> 00:06:28.379 And read your verses to them and teach them 00:06:29.019 --> 00:06:33.860 He teaches them the Book and wisdom and purifies them 00:06:34.660 --> 00:06:39.420 You are the Mighty, the Wise 00:06:41.170 --> 00:06:44.129 Our Lord sent among them a messenger from among themselves 00:06:44.889 --> 00:06:51.209 It is the call of Abraham and Ishmael to our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, in particular 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:55.160 He reads to them your book that you inspire them 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.000 And He will teach them Your Book which You reveal to them 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.759 And separate your judgment and rulings 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.879 It purifies them from polytheism and worship of idols 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:09.399 He develops them and increases them in obedience to God 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.079 You are the Mighty and Powerful 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.279 He who cannot do anything he wants 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:20.360 So do to us and our descendants what we asked and asked of you 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:25.600 The wise one is the one in whose management no defect or error enters 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.480 So give us what benefits us and our descendants 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.040 It will not diminish you nor will it diminish your treasures 00:07:34.060 --> 00:07:41.939 Whoever turns away from the religion of Abraham except one who fools himself 00:07:42.459 --> 00:07:45.779 We have chosen him in this world 00:07:46.339 --> 00:07:52.139 In the afterlife, he will be among the righteous 00:07:53.589 --> 00:07:57.509 He does not abdicate in the Muslim Hanifi religion of Abraham 00:07:57.990 --> 00:08:00.870 And he leaves her wanting to go to someone else 00:08:01.389 --> 00:08:07.990 Except a fool who is ignorant of the position of his soul’s share in what benefits it and harms it in its future 00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:12.259 We chose Abraham and chose him for his sake 00:08:12.899 --> 00:08:16.100 And his supporter in this world will be an imam after him 00:08:16.819 --> 00:08:24.180 In the Hereafter, Abraham will be among the righteous who fulfill the rights of God and among the saints 00:08:25.300 --> 00:08:34.500 When his Lord said to him, “I submit,” he said, “I submit to the Lord of the Worlds.” 00:08:35.590 --> 00:08:40.950 When his Lord said to him: Be sincere in worship and submit to Me in obedience 00:08:41.509 --> 00:08:43.750 Abraham said in response to his Lord 00:08:44.389 --> 00:08:49.190 I submitted in obedience and became sincere in worship to the Owner of all creatures 00:08:49.830 --> 00:08:51.830 And its manager and no one else 00:08:52.980 --> 00:09:02.899 And Abraham enjoined it upon his sons, and upon Jacob: O my sons, God has chosen the religion for you 00:09:03.220 --> 00:09:14.340 O my son, God has chosen the religion for you, so do not die unless you are Muslims 00:09:15.740 --> 00:09:18.860 Abraham entrusted his children with this word 00:09:19.500 --> 00:09:21.500 I surrendered to the Lord of the Worlds 00:09:22.299 --> 00:09:24.299 Jacob also gave instructions to his sons 00:09:25.019 --> 00:09:27.899 Then they told them after they knew him 00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:33.100 God has chosen for you this religion which He has entrusted to you 00:09:33.740 --> 00:09:37.179 So fear God, lest you die unless you are in charge of it 00:09:38.740 --> 00:09:53.220 Or were you witnesses when death approached Jacob when he said to his sons, “What will you worship after me?” 00:09:53.620 --> 00:10:05.139 They said, “We worship your God and the God of your fathers, Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac, one God.” 00:10:05.539 --> 00:10:13.059 One God and we submit to Him 00:10:14.629 --> 00:10:21.190 Were you, O community of Jews and Christians, the presence of Jacob and his witnesses when death attended him? 00:10:21.669 --> 00:10:25.350 So they learned what he said to his son and what his son said to him 00:10:25.990 --> 00:10:29.509 Do not pray against false prophets and messengers 00:10:30.149 --> 00:10:33.269 Judaism and Christianity dissolve them 00:10:34.179 --> 00:10:37.539 As Jacob said to his sons when he attended his death 00:10:38.179 --> 00:10:40.740 What will you worship after my death? 00:10:41.539 --> 00:10:42.659 His sons told him 00:10:43.379 --> 00:10:45.620 We worship your deity whom you worship 00:10:46.100 --> 00:10:50.019 The idol of your fathers is Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac 00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:51.860 One God 00:10:52.419 --> 00:10:56.019 So we devote our worship to Him and unite His divinity 00:10:56.659 --> 00:11:00.899 We do not associate anything with Him, nor do we take a usurer other than Him 00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:04.820 We are subject to Him through servitude and obedience 00:11:05.139 --> 00:11:06.980 Muslims to worship him 00:11:07.690 --> 00:11:12.330 That nation has passed away 00:11:12.809 --> 00:11:17.529 She has what she earned, but you do not earn 00:11:17.929 --> 00:11:24.730 And you will not be asked about what they were doing 00:11:26.309 --> 00:11:28.549 O community of Jews and Christians 00:11:29.029 --> 00:11:33.110 Let us mention Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, and Jacob 00:11:33.429 --> 00:11:35.429 And Muslims are their children 00:11:35.909 --> 00:11:39.590 Do not ascribe them to the disbelief of Judaism and Christianity 00:11:39.909 --> 00:11:41.909 So add it to them 00:11:42.309 --> 00:11:45.509 They are a group that has gone their way 00:11:45.909 --> 00:11:47.909 What good she did for her 00:11:48.230 --> 00:11:51.990 And to you, O community of Jews and Christians, for what you have done 00:11:52.470 --> 00:11:55.990 And you will not be held accountable for what they used to do 00:11:56.549 --> 00:12:00.789 Because every soul has what it has earned and it owes what it has earned 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:06.519 And they said, “Be Jews or Christians and you will be guided.” 00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:14.440 Say, “Rather, it is the religion of Abraham, a Hanif, and he was not of the polytheists.” 00:12:15.580 --> 00:12:20.379 The Jews said to Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his companions 00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:23.899 Be steadfast and follow the path of truth 00:12:24.470 --> 00:12:26.470 The Christians told them 00:12:26.950 --> 00:12:29.990 Be Christians and follow the path of truth 00:12:30.629 --> 00:12:31.909 Say, Muhammad 00:12:32.389 --> 00:12:35.990 Rather, let us follow the religion of Abraham upright 00:12:36.470 --> 00:12:40.870 He was not one of those who worshiped idols and idols 00:12:41.350 --> 00:12:44.470 He was neither a Jew nor a Christian 00:12:44.870 --> 00:12:46.870 Rather, he was a Hanif Muslim 00:12:47.990 --> 00:12:57.750 Say, “We believe in God and in what was revealed to us.” 00:12:57.750 --> 00:13:08.149 And what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes 00:13:08.149 --> 00:13:20.070 And what was given to Moses and Jesus, and what was given to the prophets from their Lord 00:13:20.070 --> 00:13:31.590 We do not differentiate between any of them and we submit to Him 00:13:32.870 --> 00:13:36.789 Say, O believers, to these Jews and Christians 00:13:37.269 --> 00:13:38.789 We believe in God 00:13:39.190 --> 00:13:44.629 We believed in the Book that was revealed to Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:13:45.110 --> 00:13:51.029 We also believed in what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, and Jacob 00:13:51.509 --> 00:13:53.990 And the prophets from the descendants of Jacob 00:13:54.629 --> 00:13:58.950 They also believed in the Torah that God gave Moses 00:13:59.350 --> 00:14:02.629 And with the Gospel that God gave Jesus 00:14:03.110 --> 00:14:06.389 And the books that he gave to all the prophets 00:14:07.029 --> 00:14:10.230 We do not believe in some prophets and disbelieve in others 00:14:10.710 --> 00:14:15.429 Rather, we bear witness to all of them that they were God’s messengers and prophets 00:14:15.909 --> 00:14:17.830 They were sent with truth and guidance 00:14:18.470 --> 00:14:20.789 We submit to Him in obedience 00:14:21.110 --> 00:14:23.429 They submit to Him with servitude 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:31.240 If they believe as you believe, then they have been guided 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:38.039 And if they turn away, then they are in discord 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:46.440 God's concern will be sufficient for you, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing 00:14:47.909 --> 00:14:51.509 If the Jews and Christians were truthful and acknowledged that 00:14:51.990 --> 00:14:55.750 Just as you believers have believed and declared 00:14:56.230 --> 00:14:57.990 They succeeded and guided 00:14:58.470 --> 00:15:00.870 They adhered to the path of truth and were guided 00:15:01.350 --> 00:15:05.669 And if they turn away and turn away, they do not believe in the like of your faith 00:15:06.309 --> 00:15:10.149 They knew that they were only in disobedience and separation 00:15:10.629 --> 00:15:13.590 A war for God, for His Messenger, and for you 00:15:14.230 --> 00:15:18.950 God will suffice you, O Muhammad, for these Jews and Christians 00:15:19.590 --> 00:15:23.750 God is the Hearer of what they say to you in their tongues 00:15:24.070 --> 00:15:26.389 From ignorance and supplication to disbelief 00:15:26.950 --> 00:15:31.830 The One who knows the envy and hatred that they harbor for you and your friends 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:45.960 Tell them, Muhammad 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.919 Rather, they followed God's religion, Islam 00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:51.720 Who is better in religion than God? 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.440 We are submissive to God in our following the religion of Abraham 00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:59.000 And our condemnation to him is that 00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:02.039 Not arrogant in following His command 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.679 And acknowledgment of the message of His messengers 00:16:05.750 --> 00:16:14.360 Say, “Do you dispute with us about God when He is our Lord and your Lord?” 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:24.600 He is our Lord and your Lord, and we have our works and you have your works, and we are sincere to Him 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:29.399 Say, O Muhammad, to the Jews and Christians 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:35.960 Do you dispute with us and argue with us about the religion of God, which He commanded us to follow? 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:42.519 He is our Lord and your Lord. In His hand are good deeds, and to Him is reward and punishment 00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:48.919 Each group of us has done and gained good and bad deeds 00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:57.480 We belong to God, the Savior of worship and obedience. We do not associate anything with Him, nor do we worship anyone other than Him 00:16:58.740 --> 00:17:10.259 Or do you say that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes were Jews or Christians? 00:17:10.819 --> 00:17:16.099 Say, do you know better or God? 00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:24.180 Who is more unjust than he who conceals a testimony he has from God? 00:17:24.579 --> 00:17:30.740 And God is unaware of what you do 00:17:32.220 --> 00:17:40.539 Or do you claim that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes were Jews or Christians of your religion? 00:17:41.180 --> 00:17:43.980 Your slander and lies are right for people 00:17:44.619 --> 00:17:51.900 Because Judaism and Christianity occurred after those whom God named from His prophets 00:17:52.380 --> 00:17:59.259 Tell them, O Muhammad, do you know more about them and the religions they followed, or God? 00:17:59.980 --> 00:18:05.019 And that someone is more unjust than them, while they have concealed the testimony they have from God 00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:09.500 That those whom God named were Muslims 00:18:10.140 --> 00:18:14.460 God is not unaware of what you do in concealing the truth 00:18:15.130 --> 00:18:18.329 Nor does he neglect to punish you for your actions 00:18:18.890 --> 00:18:25.529 Rather, He is protected from you until He rewards you with it in this present world and the hereafter 00:18:26.500 --> 00:18:44.099 That is a nation that has passed away. They have what they have earned, and you have what you have earned, and you will not be asked about what they used to do 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.960 Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes 00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:57.480 A nation that has gone on its way and has come to its Lord and is free of its deeds and hopes 00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:05.240 She is entitled to God for the good she earned during the days of her life, and she is entitled to the evil she earned 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:13.000 And you will not be asked about what they were doing, because every soul will be presented to God on the Day of Resurrection 00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:19.160 You are only asked about what you have earned and what you have lent, not what you have lent to anything else 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.400 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
