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
Surat Al-Shu'ara
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
They said, "Shall we believe in you?" and the vile people followed you
Noah's people said God
Do we believe in you, Noah, and acknowledge your belief?
Rather, those who follow you are despicable people, not honorable people
He said, “I do not know what they were doing.”
Their reckoning is only with my Lord
If you feel
And I will not deprive the believers
I am but a warner from where
Noah said to his people
I do not know what my followers were doing
I only have the outward appearance of their affairs, not the inwardness
Whoever shows goodness, I think he is good
And whoever shows bad, I think bad of him
The reckoning of their inner affairs rests with my Lord, if you perceive
He knows the secret of their affairs and his intentions
And I am not the only one who believes in God
Follow me in believing in what I have brought from God
I am nothing but a warner to you from your Lord
I have given you a warning
They said, “If you do not desist, O Noah, you will be among those who will be stoned.”
He told his people
If you do not stop, O Noah, from what you say and call for
It shames our gods
To be among the reviled
He said, “My Lord, my people are lying.”
So open a conquest between me and them, and save me and those who are with me from among the believers
Noah said
My Lord, my people are lying in the truth you have given them
So judge between me and them with a ruling from you, by which the invalid will be destroyed
Save me from that torment and those with me who believe in you and believe in me
So We saved him and those with him in the loaded ark
Then we drowned after the rest
So We saved Noah and those of the believers with him in the venerable, full ark
Then we drowned the rest of his people who denied him
Indeed, in that is a sign, but most of them were not believers
Indeed, your Lord is Almighty, Most Merciful
In what we did, O Muhammad, to Noah and those of the believers with him
It is a sign for you and for your people, those who believe you and those who deny you
Our practice is to protect our messengers and their followers
And destroy those who deny God
And so is my Sunnah regarding you and your people
And most of your people were not those who believed you
From what was mentioned above in God’s decree, they will not believe
Indeed, your Lord is Almighty in His vengeance on those who disbelieve in Him
Merciful to those who repent among them
When their brother Hud said to them, “Do not be fearful.”
I am a faithful messenger to you
So fear God and obey
I do not ask you for any reward for it. My reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds
The messengers of God returned to them
When their brother Hud said to them, “Do you not fear God’s punishment for your disbelief in Him?”
I am a messenger to you from my Lord commanding you to obey Him
And he warns you of your disbelief
Faithful to his revelation and message
So fear God by obeying Him and adhering to what He commands you and prohibits you
And obey what I command you to do regarding fearing God and warning yourself of His authority
I do not ask for any reward or reward from you
My reward and reward for my advice to you is only from the Lord of the Worlds
Do you build with all the revenue of a sign in vain?
And you establish factories that you may live forever
And if you attack, you attack the tyrants
Hood said to his people
Shall you build a structure in every high place of the earth, over whom will you play?
And you take a building as if you are immortal
It is permissible for the building to be built palaces and forts
It may be water outlets
If you rob, you will be robbed, killed with swords, and beaten with whips
So fear God and obey
And fear Him who has provided you with what you know
I will provide you with livestock and children
Cheeks and eyes
I fear for you the torment of a great day
So fear God's punishment, O people
By obeying Him in what He commands and prohibits you
And beware of the wrath of God, who has given you from Him what you know
I will help you with livestock and children
Orchards and rivers
I fear for you the punishment of a great day from God
They said, “It is the same for us whether you preach or not.”
This is nothing but the creation of the first two
And we are not tormented
She said: 'Ad returned to their Prophet Hud, may God bless him and grant him peace
Your preaching to us and your abandonment of preaching are moderate to us
We will not believe you and we will not believe you for what you have brought us
What we do is nothing but a habit on our part, according to their morals and religion
And God will not punish us for it
But they denied him, so We destroyed them
Indeed, there is a sign in that
And most of them were not believers
Indeed, your Lord is Almighty, Most Merciful
So Aad, the Messenger of their Lord, lied as Hud
So we destroyed Aad because they denied our Messenger
Our destruction of Aad is a lesson and a warning to your people, O Muhammad
We have destroyed more than those who believe in the foreknowledge of God
Indeed, your Lord is Almighty in taking revenge on His enemies
Merciful to those who believe in Him
Thamud denied the messengers
When their brother Saleh said to them, “Don’t you fear?”
I am a faithful messenger to you
So fear God and obey
I do not ask you for any reward for it. My reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds
Thamud lied to the messengers of God
When their brother Saleh called them to God
He said to them
O people, do you not fear God’s punishment for your disobedience to Him?
I am to you a messenger from God who sent me to you
By warning you of his punishment for disobeying his order
Amen to his message that he sent with me to you
So fear God, O people, and beware of His punishment
And I obey in warning you
I do not ask you for his advice and warning of any reward or reward
My reward and reward are only from the Lord of all that is in the heavens and on earth
And what is between them is His creation
Will you leave here safe?
In gardens and eyes
And crops and palm trees with digestive crops
And you carve luxurious houses out of the mountains
Will your Lord leave you, O people, in this world, safe and fearless?
In some gardens and springs
Plants and palm trees have broken-down crops, softening and moisturizing them
Either by touching hands
Or by riding on top of each other
And you make houses in the mountains, adept at carving them
Choosing where to carve it
So fear God and obey
And do not obey the command of the extravagant
Those who make mischief on earth and do not reform
So fear God’s punishment, O people, for disobeying your Lord
And obey me in my advice to you
If I warn you of God’s punishment, you will be guided
And do not obey, O people, the command of those who are extravagant in their persistence in disobeying God
They are the nine Rahat who were spreading corruption on earth with their sins
They do not improve themselves by working in obedience to God
They said, “You are one of those who are enchanted.”
You are only a human being like us, so bring a sign
If you are honest
Thamud said to their Prophet Saleh, peace and blessings be upon him
You are one of the created beings
Those who indulge in food and drink like us
You are neither a lord nor a king, so we obey you
You, Saleh, are nothing but a human being like us, human beings
You eat what we eat and drink what we drink
So provide proof and evidence that you are right in what you say
If you are among those who believe in his claim that God sent him to us
He said: This is a camel, she gets to drink, and you get to drink on a specified day
And do not touch her with any harm, lest the torment of a great day overtake you
Saleh said, “This is a camel, people.”
She has a share and a share of water, and you have the same
On the day of its arrival, you are not permitted to drink anything from it
And she may not drink anything of yours during your day
Do not touch it with anything that would harm it, such as slander, killing, or the like
Then the torment of a day, a great torment, will befall you from God
So they destroyed it and became regretful
Then the torment seized them. Indeed, there is a sign in that
And most of them were not believers
Indeed, your Lord is Almighty, Most Merciful
So they slaughtered the camel, and they regretted slaughtering it
Their regret did not help them
And the punishment of God, which He had threatened them with, seized them and destroyed them
The destruction of Thamud is a lesson for those of your people who consider it, O Muhammad
Most of them will not believe in the foreknowledge of God
Indeed, your Lord, O Muhammad, is Almighty in taking revenge on His enemies
Merciful to those of His creation who believe in Him
A people lied to the homeland of the messengers
When their brother Lutan told them: Do not be fearful
I am a faithful messenger to you
So fear God and obey
I do not ask you for any reward for it. My reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds
Lutan's people denied the messengers God sent to them
When their brother Lutan told them: O people, do you not fear God?
I am to you a messenger from your Lord, faithful to His revelation
So fear God within yourselves, lest His punishment befall you for denying His Messenger
And obey what I have called you to do
I do not ask you to give me any reward or reward for my advice
My reward for my advice to you is only from the Lord of the worlds
Do you come from the two worlds?
And you leave behind what your Lord has created for you from among your wives
Rather, you are a habitual people
Do you marry males from among the sons of Adam?
And you call on those whom your Lord created for you from among your wives
Rather, you are a people who transgress what your Lord has permitted for you and made permissible for you regarding private parts
To what has been forbidden to you
They said: If you do not stop, O Lot, you will be among the directors
He said, “I am one of those who speak to you.”
Lot's people said
Because, O Lot, you do not desist from our prohibition of male sexual intercourse
To be among the directors from among us and our country
Lot said to them
I swear by your work that you do in bringing the two reminders
From the haters who deny what he did
Lord, save me and my family from what they do
So We saved him and all his family
Except an old man among those who left behind
Then we destroyed the others
And We rained rain upon them
The rain of the warners
Lot said
Lord, save me and my family from your punishment
So we saved him and his entire family from our punishment
Except an old man among the rest
As the years passed, it became old
She was destroyed among the people of Lot
Because she used to show her people to the guests
It has been said
It was said from those who left behind
Because she did not die with her people in their village
And that the stone struck her after she left their village with Lot and his two daughters
She was one of those who remained behind after her people
Then God destroyed it with the stones that rained down on the remnants of Lot’s people
Then We destroyed the others of Lot's people with destruction
And We rained rain upon them
This is because God sent stones of shale from the sky upon them
How miserable is that rain, the rain of the people who were warned by their Prophet, but they denied him
Indeed, there is a sign in that
And most of them were not believers
Indeed, your Lord is Almighty, Most Merciful
Our destruction of the people of Lot is a lesson and a warning to your people, O Muhammad
Most of them were not believers before God knew
Indeed, your Lord is Almighty, Most Merciful to whoever believes in Him
The owners of the grove lied to the messengers
When Shuaib said to them: Do not be fearful
I am a faithful messenger to you
So fear God and obey
I do not ask you for any reward for it. My reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds
The people of the grove lied, and they were the people of Media
And the thorny tree
Shuaib said to them: Do you not fear God’s punishment for disobeying your Lord?
I am to you from God a messenger faithful to His revelation
So fear God’s punishment for your disobedience to His command, and obey and be guided
I do not ask you for my advice or reward
My reward and reward for that is only from the Lord of the Worlds
