WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.039 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:12.740 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:16.820 Surat Al-Saffat 00:00:18.329 --> 00:00:23.010 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.789 --> 00:00:29.670 And among his followers are Abraham 00:00:29.870 --> 00:00:36.420 When he came to his Lord with a sound heart 00:00:36.740 --> 00:00:41.939 When he said to his father and his people, “What do you worship?” 00:00:42.219 --> 00:00:48.539 What gods besides God do you want? 00:00:48.859 --> 00:00:54.179 What do you think of the Lord of the Worlds? 00:00:55.659 --> 00:01:02.140 And whoever promoted Noah to follow his method and religion belonged to Abraham, the friend of the Most Merciful 00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:06.739 When Abraham came to his Lord with a heart free from polytheism 00:01:07.019 --> 00:01:09.019 Sincere to him is monotheism 00:01:09.299 --> 00:01:11.540 When he said to his father and his people 00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:13.939 Anything you worship 00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:17.859 Do you want any deity other than God? 00:01:18.290 --> 00:01:22.609 So what do you people think will be done to you? 00:01:22.810 --> 00:01:25.769 You threw him away while you worshiped someone else 00:01:27.209 --> 00:01:32.329 He looked at the stars 00:01:32.609 --> 00:01:36.250 He said I was stupid 00:01:36.489 --> 00:01:40.329 So they turned away from him, retreating 00:01:41.650 --> 00:01:43.849 He looked at the stars 00:01:44.290 --> 00:01:47.810 He mentioned that his people were astrologists 00:01:48.290 --> 00:01:50.290 He saw a star rising 00:01:50.689 --> 00:01:52.689 He twisted his head and said 00:01:52.969 --> 00:01:54.969 I'm stabbed 00:01:55.290 --> 00:01:58.530 Rather, Abraham wants them to leave him 00:01:59.140 --> 00:02:01.980 So they turned away from Abraham, turning away from him 00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:06.739 For fear that they would be infected with the disease he was reported to have 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.680 He turned to their gods and said, “Don’t you eat?” 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.759 Why do you not speak? 00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:23.120 What then to their gods after they departed from it and turned away? 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.560 So he brought the food to her 00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.039 When he did not see her eating 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.879 He said to her: Why don't you eat? 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.400 He did not see her speak 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.759 He said to her: Don't you eat? 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.240 Why do you not speak? 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.830 mocking her 00:02:43.830 --> 00:02:49.310 Spare them a right-hand strike 00:02:49.710 --> 00:02:53.789 So they came to him marrying 00:02:54.110 --> 00:02:58.030 He said: Do you worship what you degrade? 00:02:58.469 --> 00:03:02.550 God created you and what you do 00:03:03.699 --> 00:03:07.539 So he turned to his people's gods and struck them with his right hand 00:03:08.020 --> 00:03:10.500 With an ax in his hand he breaks it 00:03:11.210 --> 00:03:13.569 So they came to him in a hurry 00:03:14.169 --> 00:03:16.169 Abraham said to his people 00:03:16.689 --> 00:03:21.370 O people, do you worship the idols you put down with your own hands? 00:03:21.810 --> 00:03:25.169 God created you, people, and created you 00:03:25.610 --> 00:03:28.250 Or the one from which you make idols 00:03:28.729 --> 00:03:30.729 It is wood and copper 00:03:31.050 --> 00:03:34.889 And the things that they used to degrade their idols 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:43.000 They said, Build him a building and throw him into hell 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:50.759 They intended a plot against him, so We made them the lowest 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:56.280 Abraham's people said, "Build a building for Abraham." 00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.560 It was mentioned that they built a structure for him that resembled an oven 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.240 Then they brought the wood to him and lit a fire on it 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.479 So throw him into hell 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:08.680 And hell for the Arabs 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:13.400 Coals of fire, one upon another, and fire upon fire 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:19.079 So Abraham's people plotted against Abraham by burning him with fire 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.000 So We made the humiliated people of Abraham a proof 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.720 We defeated Abraham over them by argument 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:35.120 He said: I am going to my Lord and He will guide me 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.920 Lord, grant me among the righteous 00:04:41.529 --> 00:04:45.290 Abraham said when God saved him from their plot 00:04:46.009 --> 00:04:50.209 I am an immigrant from my country of origin to the Holy Land 00:04:50.850 --> 00:04:54.170 And when he departs from them, he withdraws from them to worship God 00:04:54.949 --> 00:04:57.790 He will keep me steadfast on the guidance that I have seen 00:04:58.069 --> 00:04:59.389 And he helps me with it 00:05:00.110 --> 00:05:03.870 O Lord, grant me a son from you who will be among the righteous 00:05:04.430 --> 00:05:07.110 Those who obey you and do not disobey you 00:05:07.750 --> 00:05:10.550 They are righteous in the land and do not cause corruption 00:05:12.540 --> 00:05:16.779 So we gave him good tidings of a gentle boy 00:05:17.220 --> 00:05:21.019 When he reached the end of the quest with him 00:05:21.220 --> 00:05:26.220 He said, “My son, I see him in a dream.” 00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:36.139 I will slaughter you, so see what you see 00:05:36.579 --> 00:05:40.300 He said, Father, do as you are told 00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:48.300 You will find me, God willing, among the patient ones 00:05:50.009 --> 00:05:54.410 So We gave Abraham good tidings of a dreamy boy when he grew up 00:05:55.259 --> 00:05:59.420 When the boy to whom Ibrahim gave the good news reached the work 00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:01.300 Ibrahim said 00:06:01.899 --> 00:06:05.540 My son, I see in a dream that I am slaughtering you 00:06:06.060 --> 00:06:08.259 So see what you order 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:10.199 His son told him 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:14.360 O father, do what your Lord commands you to do regarding my slaughter 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:18.639 You will find me, God willing, patient among those who are patient 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.959 What our Lord commands us to do 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:28.199 When they converted to Islam, he turned it to the forehead 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:34.120 And we called him, “O Abraham.” 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:37.160 The vision has come true 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:42.670 Indeed, We reward the doers of good 00:06:43.069 --> 00:06:49.970 This is the clear affliction 00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:54.019 When they surrendered, God commanded them 00:06:54.459 --> 00:06:56.100 And his epilepsy is for the forehead 00:06:56.620 --> 00:07:00.139 The two foreheads are together, the right and the left of the forehead 00:07:00.819 --> 00:07:03.660 And we called him, “O Abraham.” 00:07:03.660 --> 00:07:07.459 You have believed the vision that we showed you in your dream 00:07:07.899 --> 00:07:10.420 We ordered you to slaughter your son Isaac 00:07:11.180 --> 00:07:14.899 We rewarded you with our obedience, O Abraham 00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:19.180 Thus We reward those who do good and obey Our command 00:07:19.779 --> 00:07:23.300 If we command you, O Abraham, to slaughter your son 00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:27.180 It is a test that shows whoever thinks about it 00:07:27.540 --> 00:07:30.939 It is a severe affliction and a great ordeal 00:07:32.529 --> 00:07:36.449 We ransomed him with a great sacrifice 00:07:36.850 --> 00:07:41.170 We left it to others 00:07:41.610 --> 00:07:44.889 Peace be upon Ibrahim 00:07:45.290 --> 00:07:48.569 Thus do We reward the doers of good 00:07:49.009 --> 00:07:53.410 He is one of our faithful servants 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:56.879 We rewarded your son Isaac 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.000 By making the place of his slaughter the slaughter of a great ram 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:06.920 And We preserved for him and after him, until the Day of Resurrection, good praise 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.439 A security from God on earth for Abraham 00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:14.240 He will not be mentioned after him except with beautiful remembrance 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.519 We also rewarded Abraham for his obedience and kindness 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.360 Thus do We reward the doers of good 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.240 Abraham is one of our sincere servants who have faith 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:34.440 And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:40.039 We blessed him and Isaac 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:47.919 And from their descendants is a doer of good and a clear one who is unjust to himself 00:08:49.529 --> 00:08:52.649 And We gave Abraham good news of Isaac as a prophet 00:08:53.129 --> 00:08:56.049 Thank him for his kindness and obedience 00:08:56.690 --> 00:09:00.009 We blessed Abraham and Isaac 00:09:00.570 --> 00:09:05.610 Among their descendants is a believer who is obedient to God and virtuous in his obedience 00:09:06.129 --> 00:09:10.929 A disbeliever in God has made his own injustice clear by his disbelief in God 00:09:12.580 --> 00:09:17.340 And We bestowed favor on Moses and Aaron 00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:23.059 And We saved them and their people from great distress 00:09:23.500 --> 00:09:28.740 And We helped them, and they were victorious 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.879 We preferred Moses and Aaron 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.159 So We made them prophets 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.919 And We saved them and their people from grief and great calamity 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.720 In which they were among the servants of the family of Pharaoh 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.679 And from what We destroyed with Pharaoh 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:51.159 We granted them victory over Pharaoh and his family by drowning them 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.080 They were the ones who prevailed over them 00:09:55.399 --> 00:10:00.860 And We gave them the clear Book 00:10:01.179 --> 00:10:05.899 And We guided them to the straight path 00:10:06.340 --> 00:10:10.500 We left them to others 00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:15.019 Peace be upon Moses and Aaron 00:10:15.419 --> 00:10:20.360 This is how We reward the doers of good 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.080 They are among our faithful servants 00:10:27.570 --> 00:10:30.250 And We gave Moses and Aaron the Torah 00:10:30.730 --> 00:10:35.769 And We guided Moses and Aaron to the straight path in which Jag turned 00:10:36.289 --> 00:10:38.330 Islam is the religion of God 00:10:39.009 --> 00:10:43.929 We left others after them with good praise for them 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.080 Peace be upon Moses and Aaron 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.200 This is how we reward those who obey us 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:55.360 Moses and Aaron are among our servants who are sincere to us in faith 00:10:57.070 --> 00:11:01.990 And Elias is one of the messengers 00:11:02.429 --> 00:11:07.070 When he said to his people, “Do not be fearful.” 00:11:07.509 --> 00:11:14.190 Do you call on Baal and leave the best of creators? 00:11:15.580 --> 00:11:18.340 And Elias bin Yasin bin Finhas 00:11:18.740 --> 00:11:21.419 Ibn Al-Ezar bin Harun bin Imran 00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:23.860 To one of the senders 00:11:24.379 --> 00:11:27.460 When he said to his people about the children of Israel 00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:31.940 O people, do you not fear God and fear Him? 00:11:32.580 --> 00:11:37.700 Do you call upon God and claim to worship someone better than the one who is called a Creator? 00:11:38.379 --> 00:11:40.820 And Baal was said to be usury 00:11:41.379 --> 00:11:43.259 It is a language of the people of Yemen 00:11:43.860 --> 00:11:46.539 It was said that he is Zalm, called Baal 00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:48.899 This is why it was named Baalbek 00:11:49.690 --> 00:11:53.570 It was said that Baal was a woman they worshiped 00:11:55.259 --> 00:12:02.960 God is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers 00:12:04.450 --> 00:12:09.250 That is your deity, people, who deserves your worship 00:12:09.889 --> 00:12:11.889 Your Lord who created you 00:12:12.289 --> 00:12:15.250 And the Lord of your fathers who came before you 00:12:15.730 --> 00:12:20.250 An idol that does not create anything and does no harm or benefit 00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:26.720 But they denied him, for they will not be brought 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:31.080 Except sincere servants of God 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:34.960 We left it to others 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.200 Peace be upon Eliasin 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:44.039 This is how We reward the doers of good 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:51.330 He is one of our faithful servants 00:12:51.649 --> 00:12:53.409 So Elias lied to his people 00:12:53.929 --> 00:12:57.570 For they will be present at the punishment of God and will witness it 00:12:58.049 --> 00:13:01.850 Except the servants of God whom He saved from torment 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:07.320 We kept good praise for him from other nations after him 00:13:07.950 --> 00:13:10.629 A blessing from God for the Yassin family 00:13:11.149 --> 00:13:15.149 This is how we reward those who obey us and do good 00:13:15.750 --> 00:13:20.549 Elias is one of our servants who believed and united us 00:13:20.830 --> 00:13:23.110 They did not associate anything with us 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:29.639 Indeed, Lot was one of the messengers 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:35.080 When We saved him and all his family 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.519 Except an old man among those who left behind 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:44.960 Then we destroyed the others 00:13:46.259 --> 00:13:49.019 Indeed, Lot was one of the messengers 00:13:49.620 --> 00:13:52.340 When We saved Lot and all his family 00:13:52.340 --> 00:13:55.539 And it is from the torment that We inflicted upon his people 00:13:56.059 --> 00:13:58.340 Except an old man among the rest 00:13:58.740 --> 00:14:00.340 She is Lot's wife 00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:03.940 Then we threw stones at them from above 00:14:04.340 --> 00:14:07.460 So We destroyed them with that 00:14:08.059 --> 00:14:13.659 And you pass by them in the morning 00:14:14.059 --> 00:14:19.799 And at night, do you not understand? 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.000 God Almighty says mention it to the polytheists of Quraysh 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.799 And you are passing by the people of our homeland whom we have destroyed 00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.000 When you wake up during the day and at night 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:37.000 Do you not have minds with which to contemplate and think? 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.600 So you will know that whoever follows the path of these people 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:46.799 A punishment from God was inflicted on them similar to what was inflicted on them for their disbelief in God 00:14:48.370 --> 00:14:52.970 And Yunus was one of the messengers 00:14:53.169 --> 00:14:57.970 As he stayed to the charged ark 00:14:58.370 --> 00:15:02.169 So he contributed and was one of the lucky ones 00:15:02.570 --> 00:15:06.570 The whale swallowed it and it was a laxative 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:12.200 And Yunus was one of the messengers sent to their people 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:16.799 When he fled to the ark filled with the venerable cargo 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:21.000 So he fought and was one of the defeated 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:25.000 The whale swallowed him and he took the blame 00:15:26.690 --> 00:15:31.490 Had he not been one of those who praise Him 00:15:31.889 --> 00:15:37.289 To remain in his stomach until the day they are resurrected 00:15:38.789 --> 00:15:44.389 Had Yunus not been one of those who prayed to God, he would have accepted the calamity that afflicted him 00:15:44.990 --> 00:15:49.990 He would remain trapped in the belly of the whale until the day God resurrects his creation 00:15:50.789 --> 00:15:54.590 But he was one of those who remembered God before the calamity 00:15:54.990 --> 00:15:57.389 So God remembered him in times of calamity 00:15:57.789 --> 00:15:59.590 So he saved him and saved him
