WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.150 --> 00:00:08.050 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:12.740 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:16.339 Surat Al-Anbiya 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:22.339 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:29.760 And who among them says that I am a god besides Him? 00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:39.759 For that We reward Hell. Thus We reward the wrongdoers 00:00:40.990 --> 00:00:42.990 Who says he is one of the angels? 00:00:43.490 --> 00:00:45.490 I am a god without God 00:00:46.109 --> 00:00:48.109 That will cause him to hell 00:00:48.810 --> 00:00:51.530 And just as We reward those of the angels who say so 00:00:51.530 --> 00:00:54.409 I am a god without God, hell 00:00:55.049 --> 00:00:58.250 Likewise, We reward everyone who wrongs himself 00:00:58.689 --> 00:01:01.170 So he disbelieved in God and worshiped someone else 00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:15.780 Have not those who disbelieved seen that the heavens and the earth were joined together and We separated them? 00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:24.939 And We made from water every living thing. Will they not believe? 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:31.760 Did not those who disbelieved in God look with the eyes of their hearts and believe it? 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:36.239 They know that the heavens and the earth do not contain a hole 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.799 Rather, they were attached 00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:41.640 So we cracked them open and released them 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.120 The heavens were pure and no rain fell from them 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.359 The land was barren and no plants could emerge from it 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:52.359 So God separated them 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.120 And We revive everything with the water that We send down from the sky 00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.719 Wouldn't they believe that? 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.280 They acknowledge the divinity of the one who did this and single him out for worship 00:02:06.939 --> 00:02:21.379 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 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.120 Has he not seen these infidels? 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.879 We have placed firm mountains on the earth so that they cannot be sufficient for people 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.879 And let them be able to stand firm on its back 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.719 We have made paths easy on the earth for them to be guided to walk therein 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:46.039 And We made the sky a protected roof 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.000 And they turn away from its signs 00:02:51.330 --> 00:02:54.650 And We made the sky a fixed roof for the earth 00:02:55.129 --> 00:02:58.330 And We protected it from every accursed devil 00:02:59.009 --> 00:03:02.090 And these polytheists ignore the signs of heaven 00:03:02.449 --> 00:03:04.930 Its sun, moon and stars 00:03:05.409 --> 00:03:07.610 They refuse to think about it 00:03:08.009 --> 00:03:11.250 It indicates the oneness of its Creator 00:03:12.770 --> 00:03:18.090 It is He who created the night and the day, the sun and the moon 00:03:18.530 --> 00:03:24.210 Everyone swims in an orbit 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.159 It is God who created for you, people, night and day 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.319 A blessing from Him upon you 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.039 And an indication of his great authority 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.599 And that divinity belongs to him, to the exclusion of everything else 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.439 He also created the sun and the moon 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.879 All in a circle running 00:03:45.770 --> 00:03:51.689 We did not assign immortality to humans before you 00:03:52.169 --> 00:03:56.729 How do you understand the immortals? 00:03:57.210 --> 00:04:03.409 Every soul will taste death 00:04:03.930 --> 00:04:08.729 We will test you with evil and good as a trial 00:04:09.250 --> 00:04:15.080 And to us you will return 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:21.879 We did not immortalize any of the children of Adam before you in this world, so we will immortalize you in it 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:26.800 You must die as our messengers died before you 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:32.279 Are these polytheists of their Lord the ones who will live forever in this world after you? 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.959 Rather, they are dead no matter whether you live or die 00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:40.019 Every soul is created by Him 00:04:40.500 --> 00:04:44.420 Treating death's throat and drinking its cup 00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:49.180 We test you, people, with hardship, prosperity, and abundance 00:04:49.620 --> 00:04:51.139 And they respond to us 00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:55.220 They will be rewarded for their good and bad deeds 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:03.079 And when those who disbelieve see you, they will only take you in mockery 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.560 Is this the one who mentions your gods? 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.199 Is this the one who mentions your gods? 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:15.079 And in the remembrance of the Most Gracious, they are disbelievers 00:05:16.709 --> 00:05:22.750 And when those who disbelieve in God see you, O Muhammad, they will not take you except as a mockery 00:05:23.350 --> 00:05:25.149 They say to each other 00:05:25.589 --> 00:05:29.550 Is this the one who mentions your gods badly and disgraces them? 00:05:30.029 --> 00:05:36.110 They marvel at your remembrance, O Muhammad, of their gods who do no harm or benefit 00:05:36.509 --> 00:05:41.350 And they are disbelievers in the remembrance of the Most Gracious, who created them and bestowed upon them 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.560 Man was created from a calf 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:52.199 I will show you My signs, so do not be in a hurry 00:05:53.649 --> 00:05:57.050 Adam was created hastily and quickly at that 00:05:57.490 --> 00:06:00.569 Because the setting of the sun appears in his creation 00:06:01.009 --> 00:06:04.129 In the last hour of the day on Friday 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:11.839 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 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.360 Do not rush your Lord 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.959 We will bring it to you and show you 00:06:19.430 --> 00:06:26.310 And they say: When will this promise come, if you are truthful? 00:06:26.829 --> 00:06:34.670 If only those who disbelieved knew when they would not keep the Fire from their faces 00:06:35.189 --> 00:06:42.790 When they do not protect the fire from their faces nor from their backs 00:06:43.310 --> 00:06:49.069 Nor behind their backs, nor will they be helped 00:06:50.730 --> 00:06:55.009 And these people who are in a hurry say to their Lord about signs and punishment 00:06:55.610 --> 00:06:59.170 When will this one who brings us back from torment come to us? 00:06:59.730 --> 00:07:03.810 If you are honest in what you tell us of that 00:07:04.529 --> 00:07:10.410 If these infidels who are hastening to know the punishment of their Lord, what calamity would be theirs? 00:07:10.930 --> 00:07:12.970 When their faces are engulfed by fire 00:07:13.490 --> 00:07:18.410 They will not protect the fire from their faces nor from their backs, so they can repel it 00:07:19.009 --> 00:07:21.129 They do not have a supporter to support them 00:07:21.610 --> 00:07:24.490 Then he will save them from God's punishment 00:07:24.970 --> 00:07:28.610 When they remained in the state of disbelief in God 00:07:30.300 --> 00:07:38.100 Rather, it comes to them suddenly and confuses them, so they are not able to return it 00:07:38.540 --> 00:07:44.899 They cannot return it nor are they looking 00:07:46.490 --> 00:07:53.689 This fire that burns the faces of the infidels does not come to them knowingly at its time 00:07:54.290 --> 00:07:58.889 But it comes to them as a surprise that they do not realize is coming 00:07:59.329 --> 00:08:00.930 Suddenly they faint 00:08:01.529 --> 00:08:05.689 They cannot bear it when you want them to push it away from themselves 00:08:06.170 --> 00:08:10.370 Nor do they delay the torment therein until they bring about repentance 00:08:10.930 --> 00:08:13.129 Because it is not an hour of repentance 00:08:13.529 --> 00:08:16.370 Rather, it is an hour of reward and reward 00:08:18.139 --> 00:08:33.100 Messengers before you were mocked, so punish those who mocked them. They were mocking him 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:39.320 God Almighty says mentioning it to His Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.399 He mocked the messengers we sent before you 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:50.720 So it became necessary and the calamity and torment were inflicted on those who mocked them 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:57.159 These mockers will no longer be like their ancestors from the lying nations 00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:04.000 Then God’s torment and wrath will be inflicted upon them by their mockery of you, similar to what was inflicted upon them 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:18.120 Say, O Muhammad, to her, those who are hastening to punish you 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.639 Who protects you and guards you at night when you sleep? 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:28.200 And during the day, if you take action from the command of the Most Gracious, if it descends upon you 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.600 Why do they not know that there is no reward for them from the command of God? 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:38.039 Rather, they turn away from mentioning the objections of their Lord and His proofs 00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:42.000 They do not turn away from the remembrance of their Lord and His proofs 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.200 They do not consider this and are not considered 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:52.179 Or do they have gods that prevent them from leaving us? 00:09:52.659 --> 00:10:01.220 They cannot help themselves, nor will they be accompanied by us 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:07.039 Those who are in a hurry to punish their Lord are gods besides us 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.039 Prevent them from us if we inflict upon them our torment 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:16.639 How can their gods, which they call upon other than us, prevent them from us? 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.240 They cannot defend themselves 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:23.360 Nor are they our neighbors or companions 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.960 And if they are not accompanied by the neighborhood 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.960 They had no objection to God's punishment despite God's wrath upon them 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:34.240 They were not accompanied by goodness, nor were they helped 00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:47.580 Their parents until they lived a long life 00:10:48.179 --> 00:10:55.340 Do they not see that We will come to the earth and reduce it from its outskirts? 00:10:55.820 --> 00:10:59.340 I understand the overcomers 00:11:00.809 --> 00:11:05.210 O polytheists, what gods do they have that prevents them from being apart from us? 00:11:05.809 --> 00:11:11.090 But We gave them enjoyment of this worldly life and their fathers before them 00:11:11.450 --> 00:11:15.769 Until their lives were prolonged while they remained in their disbelief 00:11:16.330 --> 00:11:20.090 They forgot our covenant and were ignorant of the position of our blessing upon them 00:11:20.769 --> 00:11:23.490 Do these polytheists not see God? 00:11:23.970 --> 00:11:27.210 To come to the land and destroy it from all sides 00:11:27.730 --> 00:11:33.370 We defeated its people, defeated them, evacuated them, and killed them with swords 00:11:33.970 --> 00:11:36.610 They consider this and seek refuge in it 00:11:37.330 --> 00:11:41.370 Are these polytheists the victors, and they have seen our oppression? 00:11:41.970 --> 00:11:43.610 Not so 00:11:44.090 --> 00:11:45.690 Rather, we are the victors 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:05.200 Say, Muhammad 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:11.360 I only warn you, O people, of the revelation of God which He reveals to me from Himself 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:13.879 And I fear you with its distress 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.399 The disbeliever does not listen to God by listening to his heart 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.519 To remember what is in God’s revelation of promises and remembrance 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:25.919 But he refuses to consider it and think about it 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:30.600 The act of a deaf person who does not hear what is said to him and acts on it 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:40.279 And if the whiff of your Lord’s punishment touches him, he will say, “Woe to us!” 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:48.399 They will say: Woe to us! Indeed, we have been wrongdoers 00:12:49.789 --> 00:12:53.789 And if these people who are hasty in torment touch him, O Muhammad 00:12:54.350 --> 00:12:59.149 A share and share of your Lord’s punishment for their denial of you and their disbelief 00:12:59.629 --> 00:13:06.070 They will say: Woe to us! Indeed, we have been unjust in our worship of gods and equals 00:13:06.629 --> 00:13:10.750 We abandoned the worship of God, who created us and bestowed blessings upon us 00:13:12.490 --> 00:13:20.889 And We will set just balance for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be wronged in the slightest 00:13:21.409 --> 00:13:28.409 Even if it is the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it 00:13:28.889 --> 00:13:33.090 It is enough for us to be reckoners 00:13:34.690 --> 00:13:41.049 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 00:13:41.529 --> 00:13:46.690 By punishing him for a sin he did not commit, or depriving him of the reward for his work 00:13:47.330 --> 00:13:51.769 Even if he has done good deeds or he has done bad deeds 00:13:52.090 --> 00:13:56.610 The weight of a grain of mustard we brought, so we brought it to him 00:13:57.169 --> 00:14:00.850 And according to the effort of that position, we will be held accountable 00:14:01.330 --> 00:14:03.970 Because no one knows their deeds 00:14:04.370 --> 00:14:08.450 And there is no good or bad from us in the past in this world 00:14:10.269 --> 00:14:20.750 And We gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion and a bright light and a reminder for the righteous 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.960 God made a distinction between Moses and Aaron and Pharaoh in truth 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:33.399 And as a reminder to those who fear God by obeying Him and performing His duties and avoiding His sins 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:43.440 Those who fear their Lord in the unseen and are anxious from the Hour 00:14:44.970 --> 00:14:48.250 We gave Moses and Aaron a reminder to the righteous 00:14:48.769 --> 00:14:53.210 Those who fear their Lord in the unseen lest He punish them in the Hereafter 00:14:53.850 --> 00:14:57.210 They are from the hour in which the Resurrection will take place 00:14:57.649 --> 00:15:04.090 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 00:15:04.610 --> 00:15:08.409 He punishes them with punishment that they would not have accepted 00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:21.940 This is a blessed remembrance which We have sent down. So, do you deny it? 00:15:23.580 --> 00:15:28.539 This is the Qur’an that We sent down to Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:15:29.019 --> 00:15:33.139 A reminder to those who are reminded of it and an admonition to those who are advised by it 00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:39.779 Do you, O people, deny this book which We sent down to Muhammad? 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:46.600 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
