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-Anbiya
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
And who among them says that I am a god besides Him?
For that We reward Hell. Thus We reward the wrongdoers
Who says he is one of the angels?
I am a god without God
That will cause him to hell
And just as We reward those of the angels who say so
I am a god without God, hell
Likewise, We reward everyone who wrongs himself
So he disbelieved in God and worshiped someone else
Have not those who disbelieved seen that the heavens and the earth were joined together and We separated them?
And We made from water every living thing. Will they not believe?
Did not those who disbelieved in God look with the eyes of their hearts and believe it?
They know that the heavens and the earth do not contain a hole
Rather, they were attached
So we cracked them open and released them
The heavens were pure and no rain fell from them
The land was barren and no plants could emerge from it
So God separated them
And We revive everything with the water that We send down from the sky
Wouldn't they believe that?
They acknowledge the divinity of the one who did this and single him out for worship
And We have placed firm mountains in the earth, lest it move with them, and We have placed therein broad paths that they may be guided
Has he not seen these infidels?
We have placed firm mountains on the earth so that they cannot be sufficient for people
And let them be able to stand firm on its back
We have made paths easy on the earth for them to be guided to walk therein
And We made the sky a protected roof
And they turn away from its signs
And We made the sky a fixed roof for the earth
And We protected it from every accursed devil
And these polytheists ignore the signs of heaven
Its sun, moon and stars
They refuse to think about it
It indicates the oneness of its Creator
It is He who created the night and the day, the sun and the moon
Everyone swims in an orbit
It is God who created for you, people, night and day
A blessing from Him upon you
And an indication of his great authority
And that divinity belongs to him, to the exclusion of everything else
He also created the sun and the moon
All in a circle running
We did not assign immortality to humans before you
How do you understand the immortals?
Every soul will taste death
We will test you with evil and good as a trial
And to us you will return
We did not immortalize any of the children of Adam before you in this world, so we will immortalize you in it
You must die as our messengers died before you
Are these polytheists of their Lord the ones who will live forever in this world after you?
Rather, they are dead no matter whether you live or die
Every soul is created by Him
Treating death's throat and drinking its cup
We test you, people, with hardship, prosperity, and abundance
And they respond to us
They will be rewarded for their good and bad deeds
And when those who disbelieve see you, they will only take you in mockery
Is this the one who mentions your gods?
Is this the one who mentions your gods?
And in the remembrance of the Most Gracious, they are disbelievers
And when those who disbelieve in God see you, O Muhammad, they will not take you except as a mockery
They say to each other
Is this the one who mentions your gods badly and disgraces them?
They marvel at your remembrance, O Muhammad, of their gods who do no harm or benefit
And they are disbelievers in the remembrance of the Most Gracious, who created them and bestowed upon them
Man was created from a calf
I will show you My signs, so do not be in a hurry
Adam was created hastily and quickly at that
Because the setting of the sun appears in his creation
In the last hour of the day on Friday
I will show you, O you who are in a hurry, My signs just as I showed them before you among the nations that I destroyed
Do not rush your Lord
We will bring it to you and show you
And they say: When will this promise come, if you are truthful?
If only those who disbelieved knew when they would not keep the Fire from their faces
When they do not protect the fire from their faces nor from their backs
Nor behind their backs, nor will they be helped
And these people who are in a hurry say to their Lord about signs and punishment
When will this one who brings us back from torment come to us?
If you are honest in what you tell us of that
If these infidels who are hastening to know the punishment of their Lord, what calamity would be theirs?
When their faces are engulfed by fire
They will not protect the fire from their faces nor from their backs, so they can repel it
They do not have a supporter to support them
Then he will save them from God's punishment
When they remained in the state of disbelief in God
Rather, it comes to them suddenly and confuses them, so they are not able to return it
They cannot return it nor are they looking
This fire that burns the faces of the infidels does not come to them knowingly at its time
But it comes to them as a surprise that they do not realize is coming
Suddenly they faint
They cannot bear it when you want them to push it away from themselves
Nor do they delay the torment therein until they bring about repentance
Because it is not an hour of repentance
Rather, it is an hour of reward and reward
Messengers before you were mocked, so punish those who mocked them. They were mocking him
God Almighty says mentioning it to His Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
He mocked the messengers we sent before you
So it became necessary and the calamity and torment were inflicted on those who mocked them
These mockers will no longer be like their ancestors from the lying nations
Then God’s torment and wrath will be inflicted upon them by their mockery of you, similar to what was inflicted upon them
Say, O Muhammad, to her, those who are hastening to punish you
Who protects you and guards you at night when you sleep?
And during the day, if you take action from the command of the Most Gracious, if it descends upon you
Why do they not know that there is no reward for them from the command of God?
Rather, they turn away from mentioning the objections of their Lord and His proofs
They do not turn away from the remembrance of their Lord and His proofs
They do not consider this and are not considered
Or do they have gods that prevent them from leaving us?
They cannot help themselves, nor will they be accompanied by us
Those who are in a hurry to punish their Lord are gods besides us
Prevent them from us if we inflict upon them our torment
How can their gods, which they call upon other than us, prevent them from us?
They cannot defend themselves
Nor are they our neighbors or companions
And if they are not accompanied by the neighborhood
They had no objection to God's punishment despite God's wrath upon them
They were not accompanied by goodness, nor were they helped
Their parents until they lived a long life
Do they not see that We will come to the earth and reduce it from its outskirts?
I understand the overcomers
O polytheists, what gods do they have that prevents them from being apart from us?
But We gave them enjoyment of this worldly life and their fathers before them
Until their lives were prolonged while they remained in their disbelief
They forgot our covenant and were ignorant of the position of our blessing upon them
Do these polytheists not see God?
To come to the land and destroy it from all sides
We defeated its people, defeated them, evacuated them, and killed them with swords
They consider this and seek refuge in it
Are these polytheists the victors, and they have seen our oppression?
Not so
Rather, we are the victors
Say, Muhammad
I only warn you, O people, of the revelation of God which He reveals to me from Himself
And I fear you with its distress
The disbeliever does not listen to God by listening to his heart
To remember what is in God’s revelation of promises and remembrance
But he refuses to consider it and think about it
The act of a deaf person who does not hear what is said to him and acts on it
And if the whiff of your Lord’s punishment touches him, he will say, “Woe to us!”
They will say: Woe to us! Indeed, we have been wrongdoers
And if these people who are hasty in torment touch him, O Muhammad
A share and share of your Lord’s punishment for their denial of you and their disbelief
They will say: Woe to us! Indeed, we have been unjust in our worship of gods and equals
We abandoned the worship of God, who created us and bestowed blessings upon us
And We will set just balance for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be wronged in the slightest
Even if it is the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it
It is enough for us to be reckoners
And We will set up just scales for the people of the Day of Resurrection, so God will not wrong a soul in the slightest
By punishing him for a sin he did not commit, or depriving him of the reward for his work
Even if he has done good deeds or he has done bad deeds
The weight of a grain of mustard we brought, so we brought it to him
And according to the effort of that position, we will be held accountable
Because no one knows their deeds
And there is no good or bad from us in the past in this world
And We gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion and a bright light and a reminder for the righteous
God made a distinction between Moses and Aaron and Pharaoh in truth
And as a reminder to those who fear God by obeying Him and performing His duties and avoiding His sins
Those who fear their Lord in the unseen and are anxious from the Hour
We gave Moses and Aaron a reminder to the righteous
Those who fear their Lord in the unseen lest He punish them in the Hereafter
They are from the hour in which the Resurrection will take place
They are wary lest it rise up against them and they respond to their Lord. They have neglected what is obligatory upon them for God
He punishes them with punishment that they would not have accepted
This is a blessed remembrance which We have sent down. So, do you deny it?
This is the Qur’an that We sent down to Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
A reminder to those who are reminded of it and an admonition to those who are advised by it
Do you, O people, deny this book which We sent down to Muhammad?
