1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,200
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:05,169 --> 00:00:08,070
A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

3
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:12,679
Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari.

4
00:00:14,140 --> 00:00:16,140
Surah al-Tawbah.

5
00:00:18,699 --> 00:00:24,690
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

6
00:00:24,690 --> 00:00:31,390
“The alms are only for the poor and the needy, and those who collect them, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free the captives and the debtors, and for the cause of Allah, and (for) the wayfarer; a duty imposed by Allah. Allah is Knower, Wise.” (9:60)

7
00:00:31,390 --> 00:00:34,350
And those employed to collect them.

8
00:00:34,350 --> 00:00:36,850
And those employed to collect them.

9
00:00:36,850 --> 00:00:39,350
And those whose hearts are to be reconciled.

10
00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:42,590
And for freeing captives and for those in debt.

11
00:00:42,590 --> 00:00:45,590
And for freeing captives and for those in debt.

12
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:50,689
And for the cause of Allah and for the wayfarer.

13
00:00:50,689 --> 00:00:55,189
An obligation from Allah.

14
00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:59,689
And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

15
00:01:00,659 --> 00:01:04,659
Zakat expenditures are only for the poor and the needy.

16
00:01:04,659 --> 00:01:07,659
And those appointed to collect them from their rightful owners.

17
00:01:07,659 --> 00:01:10,659
And those people whose hearts are to be reconciled to Islam.

18
00:01:10,659 --> 00:01:12,659
From among those whose support is not yet firm.

19
00:01:12,659 --> 00:01:16,159
To win them over for their own sake and for the sake of their kin.

20
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:18,159
Such as Abu Sufyan ibn Harb.

21
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:20,159
And 'Uyaynah ibn Badr.

22
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:23,659
And their peers among the tribal leaders.

23
00:01:23,659 --> 00:01:26,659
Zakat is also for those under a contract of manumission.

24
00:01:26,859 --> 00:01:30,859
And for debtors who incurred debt without committing an act of disobedience to Allah.

25
00:01:30,859 --> 00:01:34,980
And who then found no means to repay it, neither in cash nor in kind.

26
00:01:34,980 --> 00:01:37,980
And for spending in the support of the religion of Allah.

27
00:01:37,980 --> 00:01:39,980
By fighting His enemies.

28
00:01:39,980 --> 00:01:41,980
Which is the struggle against the disbelievers.

29
00:01:41,980 --> 00:01:46,019
And the traveler who passes from one land to another.

30
00:01:46,019 --> 00:01:49,019
A division that Allah has ordained for them.

31
00:01:49,019 --> 00:01:53,019
He has made it an obligation upon the wealthy to provide for them.

32
00:01:53,019 --> 00:01:56,019
And Allah is All-Knowing of the interests of His creation.

33
00:01:56,019 --> 00:02:00,069
All-Wise in the governance of His creation.

34
00:02:00,069 --> 00:02:05,069
“And of them are those who vex the Prophet and say: He is only a hearer. Say: A hearer of good for you, who believeth in Allah and is true to the believers, and a mercy for such of you as believe. Those who vex the messenger of Allah, for them there is a painful doom.” (9:61)

35
00:02:05,069 --> 00:02:08,069
And they say he is an ear.

36
00:02:08,069 --> 00:02:10,069
“And of them are those who vex the Prophet and say: He is only a hearer. Say: A hearer of good for you, who believeth in Allah and is true to the believers, and a mercy for such of you as believe. Those who vex the messenger of Allah, for them there is a painful doom.” (9:61)

37
00:02:10,069 --> 00:02:14,069
“And of them are those who vex the Prophet and say: He is only a hearer. Say: A hearer of good for you, who believeth in Allah and is true to the believers, and a mercy for such of you as believe. Those who vex the messenger of Allah, for them there is a painful doom.” (9:61)

38
00:02:14,069 --> 00:02:19,069
“And of them are those who vex the Prophet and say: He is only a hearer. Say: A hearer of good for you, who believeth in Allah and is true to the believers, and a mercy for such of you as believe. Those who vex the messenger of Allah, for them there is a painful doom.” (9:61)

39
00:02:19,069 --> 00:02:22,069
“And of them are those who vex the Prophet and say: He is only a hearer. Say: A hearer of good for you, who believeth in Allah and is true to the believers, and a mercy for such of you as believe. Those who vex the messenger of Allah, for them there is a painful doom.” (9:61)

40
00:02:22,069 --> 00:02:27,069
For them is a painful punishment.

41
00:02:27,069 --> 00:02:30,900
Among these hypocrites is a group.

42
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:34,900
Who harm the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

43
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:37,900
And say, "He is a listening ear."

44
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:40,900
He hears from everyone what they say.

45
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:42,900
And accepts it and believes it.

46
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:45,900
Say, "He is an ear of good, not an ear of evil."

47
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:48,900
He listens to the news and believes in it.

48
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:51,900
He believes in Allah alone.

49
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:54,900
And he believes the believers against the disbelievers.

50
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:56,900
And against the hypocrites.

51
00:02:56,900 --> 00:02:59,900
And he is a mercy to those among you who believe.

52
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:02,939
“And of them are those who vex the Prophet and say: He is only a hearer. Say: A hearer of good for you, who believeth in Allah and is true to the believers, and a mercy for such of you as believe. Those who vex the messenger of Allah, for them there is a painful doom.” (9:61)

53
00:03:02,939 --> 00:03:04,939
And they say, "He is an ear."

54
00:03:04,939 --> 00:03:06,939
For them is a punishment from Allah.

55
00:03:06,939 --> 00:03:11,250
A painful one in the fire of Hell.

56
00:03:11,250 --> 00:03:15,250
“They swear by Allah to you (Muslims) to please you, but Allah, with His messenger, hath more right that they should please Him if they are believers.” (9:62)

57
00:03:15,250 --> 00:03:20,250
“They swear by Allah to you (Muslims) to please you, but Allah, with His messenger, hath more right that they should please Him if they are believers.” (9:62)

58
00:03:20,250 --> 00:03:24,250
Even if they were believers.

59
00:03:24,250 --> 00:03:27,979
They swear to you, O believers.

60
00:03:27,979 --> 00:03:29,979
These hypocrites.

61
00:03:29,979 --> 00:03:32,979
By Allah and with false oaths.

62
00:03:32,979 --> 00:03:35,979
To please you regarding what reached you about them.

63
00:03:35,979 --> 00:03:38,979
Concerning their harming the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

64
00:03:38,979 --> 00:03:41,979
That they did not do that.

65
00:03:41,979 --> 00:03:44,979
And that they are upon your religion and with you.

66
00:03:44,979 --> 00:03:47,979
Seeking by that your pleasure.

67
00:03:47,979 --> 00:03:49,979
“They swear by Allah to you (Muslims) to please you, but Allah, with His messenger, hath more right that they should please Him if they are believers.” (9:62)

68
00:03:49,979 --> 00:03:52,979
Through repentance and turning back from what they said.

69
00:03:52,979 --> 00:03:55,979
If they were true in their belief in the oneness of Allah.

70
00:03:55,979 --> 00:03:58,979
Acknowledging His promise and His threat.

71
00:03:58,979 --> 00:04:02,560
Do they not know that?

72
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,560
“Know they not that whoso opposeth Allah and His messenger, his verily is fire of hell, to abide therein? That is the extreme abasement.” (9:63)

73
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,560
Then for him is the fire of Hell.

74
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,560
Abiding therein forever.

75
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,560
That is the great disgrace.

76
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,490
Do these hypocrites not know?

77
00:04:22,490 --> 00:04:25,490
That whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger.

78
00:04:25,490 --> 00:04:28,490
Then for him is the fire of Hell in the Hereafter.

79
00:04:28,490 --> 00:04:32,490
Remaining therein, dwelling without end.

80
00:04:32,490 --> 00:04:35,490
For his stay in the fire of Hell and his eternity.

81
00:04:35,490 --> 00:04:38,490
Therein is the ultimate humiliation and great disgrace.

82
00:04:38,490 --> 00:04:42,350
The hypocrites fear.

83
00:04:42,350 --> 00:04:45,350
That there might be sent down upon them.

84
00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:48,350
A surah.

85
00:04:48,350 --> 00:04:51,350
Informing them.

86
00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:54,350
Of what is in their hearts.

87
00:04:54,350 --> 00:04:57,350
Say, "Mock on."

88
00:04:57,350 --> 00:05:00,350
Indeed, Allah will bring forth.

89
00:05:00,350 --> 00:05:04,120
What you fear.

90
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,120
The hypocrites fear that there will be revealed about them.

91
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,120
A surah that exposes the believers.

92
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,180
Say to them, "Mock on."

93
00:05:14,180 --> 00:05:17,180
Indeed, Allah will expose to you, O hypocrites.

94
00:05:17,180 --> 00:05:20,180
What you were afraid would be revealed.

95
00:05:20,180 --> 00:05:23,180
So He disgraced them.

96
00:05:23,180 --> 00:05:26,980
And this surah came to be called "The Disgracer" (al-Fadihah).

97
00:05:26,980 --> 00:05:29,980
And if you ask them.

98
00:05:29,980 --> 00:05:32,980
“And if thou ask them (O Muhammad) they will say: We did but talk and jest. Say: Was it at Allah and His revelations and His messenger that ye did scoff?” (9:65)

99
00:05:32,980 --> 00:05:35,980
And we were playing.

100
00:05:35,980 --> 00:05:38,980
Say, "Is it Allah and His verses?"

101
00:05:38,980 --> 00:05:41,980
"And His Messenger that you were mocking?"

102
00:05:41,980 --> 00:05:46,069
And if you ask, O Muhammad.

103
00:05:46,069 --> 00:05:49,069
These hypocrites about what.

104
00:05:49,069 --> 00:05:52,069
They said of falsehood and lies.

105
00:05:52,069 --> 00:05:55,069
They will surely say to you.

106
00:05:55,069 --> 00:05:58,069
"We were only speaking in jest."

107
00:05:58,069 --> 00:06:01,069
"And we were merely engaging in idle talk and mockery."

108
00:06:01,069 --> 00:06:04,069
Say, O Muhammad.

109
00:06:04,069 --> 00:06:07,069
"Is it Allah, His book's verses, and His Messenger?"

110
00:06:08,069 --> 00:06:12,259
Make no excuses.

111
00:06:12,259 --> 00:06:15,259
You have disbelieved.

112
00:06:15,259 --> 00:06:18,259
After your belief.

113
00:06:18,259 --> 00:06:21,259
If We pardon a faction.

114
00:06:21,259 --> 00:06:24,259
Of you.

115
00:06:24,259 --> 00:06:27,259
We will punish a faction.

116
00:06:27,259 --> 00:06:30,259
We will punish a faction.

117
00:06:30,259 --> 00:06:33,259
Because they.

118
00:06:33,259 --> 00:06:36,259
Were criminals.

119
00:06:36,259 --> 00:06:38,829
Say to them.

120
00:06:38,829 --> 00:06:40,829
Do not offer false excuses.

121
00:06:40,829 --> 00:06:43,829
You have denied the truth by saying what you said.

122
00:06:43,829 --> 00:06:46,829
About the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

123
00:06:46,829 --> 00:06:48,829
And the believers in him.

124
00:06:48,829 --> 00:06:51,829
After your affirmation of him and your acknowledgment of him.

125
00:06:51,829 --> 00:06:54,829
If a faction of you repents.

126
00:06:54,829 --> 00:06:57,829
Then Allah will pardon them.

127
00:06:57,829 --> 00:07:00,829
Allah will punish a faction of you.

128
00:07:00,829 --> 00:07:03,829
For their refusal to repent and the persistence of their crime.

129
00:07:03,829 --> 00:07:07,829
And their slandering of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

130
00:07:07,829 --> 00:07:12,600
The hypocrite men and hypocrite women.

131
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,600
Are of one another.

132
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,600
They enjoin what is wrong.

133
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,600
And forbid what is right.

134
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,600
And they close their hands.

135
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,600
They forgot Allah, so He forgot them.

136
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,600
“The hypocrites, both men and women, proceed one from another. They enjoin the wrong, and they forbid the right, and they withhold their hands (from spending for the cause of Allah). They forget Allah, so He hath forgotten them. Lo! the hypocrites, they are the transgressors.” (9:67)

137
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,209
The hypocrite men and hypocrite women.

138
00:07:36,209 --> 00:07:39,209
Who show the believers.

139
00:07:39,209 --> 00:07:42,209
Faith with their tongues.

140
00:07:42,209 --> 00:07:45,209
And conceal disbelief, they are one class.

141
00:07:45,209 --> 00:07:48,209
And their affair is one.

142
00:07:48,209 --> 00:07:51,209
They enjoin disbelief in Allah and in Muhammad, peace be upon him.

143
00:07:51,209 --> 00:07:54,209
And in what he brought, and they deny it.

144
00:07:54,209 --> 00:07:57,209
And they forbid them from believing in Allah and His Messenger.

145
00:07:57,209 --> 00:08:00,209
And in what has come to them from Allah.

146
00:08:01,209 --> 00:08:04,209
And they withhold their hands from spending in the cause of Allah.

147
00:08:04,209 --> 00:08:07,209
They abandoned Allah by not obeying Him.

148
00:08:07,209 --> 00:08:10,209
And not following His command.

149
00:08:10,209 --> 00:08:13,209
So Allah abandoned them from His guidance.

150
00:08:13,209 --> 00:08:16,209
And His mercy and success.

151
00:08:16,209 --> 00:08:19,209
Indeed, those who deceive the believers.

152
00:08:19,209 --> 00:08:22,209
By showing faith in Allah.

153
00:08:22,209 --> 00:08:25,209
While they harbor disbelief within.

154
00:08:25,209 --> 00:08:29,009
They are those who have departed from faith in Him and His Messenger.

155
00:08:31,009 --> 00:08:34,009
And the hypocrite women and the disbelievers.

156
00:08:34,009 --> 00:08:37,009
The fire of Hell, abiding therein.

157
00:08:37,009 --> 00:08:40,009
It is sufficient for them.

158
00:08:40,009 --> 00:08:43,009
And Allah has cursed them.

159
00:08:43,009 --> 00:08:46,009
And for them is an enduring punishment.

160
00:08:49,009 --> 00:08:52,870
“Allah promiseth the hypocrites, both men and women, and the disbelievers fire of hell for their abode. It will suffice them. Allah curseth them, and theirs is lasting torment.” (9:68)

161
00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:55,870
And the disbelievers in Allah.

162
00:08:55,870 --> 00:08:58,870
The fire of Hell, that He will cast them all into it.

163
00:08:58,870 --> 00:09:01,870
Remaining therein forever.

164
00:09:01,870 --> 00:09:04,870
It is sufficient for them as a punishment and recompense.

165
00:09:04,870 --> 00:09:07,870
For their disbelief in Allah.

166
00:09:07,870 --> 00:09:10,870
And Allah has distanced them and cast them far from His mercy.

167
00:09:10,870 --> 00:09:13,870
And for both groups together.

168
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:17,669
The people of hypocrisy and disbelief, there is an everlasting punishment with Allah.

169
00:09:17,669 --> 00:09:20,669
Like those before you.

170
00:09:20,669 --> 00:09:23,669
They were stronger than you.

171
00:09:23,669 --> 00:09:26,669
In power and more abundant in wealth.

172
00:09:29,669 --> 00:09:32,669
And children.

173
00:09:32,669 --> 00:09:35,669
So they enjoyed their portion.

174
00:09:35,669 --> 00:09:38,669
So you enjoyed.

175
00:09:38,669 --> 00:09:41,669
Your portion as.

176
00:09:41,669 --> 00:09:44,669
“Even as those before you who were mightier than you in strength, and more affluent than you in wealth and children. They enjoyed their lot awhile, so ye enjoy your lot awhile even as those before you did enjoy their lot awhile. And ye prate even as they prated. Such are they whose works have perished in the world and the Hereafter. Such are they who are the losers.” (9:69)

177
00:09:44,669 --> 00:09:47,669
“Even as those before you who were mightier than you in strength, and more affluent than you in wealth and children. They enjoyed their lot awhile, so ye enjoy your lot awhile even as those before you did enjoy their lot awhile. And ye prate even as they prated. Such are they whose works have perished in the world and the Hereafter. Such are they who are the losers.” (9:69)

178
00:09:47,669 --> 00:09:50,669
Their portion.

179
00:09:50,669 --> 00:09:53,669
And you engaged in idle talk like that which.

180
00:09:53,669 --> 00:09:56,669
They engaged in.

181
00:09:56,669 --> 00:09:59,669
Those are the ones whose deeds have become worthless.

182
00:09:59,669 --> 00:10:02,669
In this world and the Hereafter.

183
00:10:02,669 --> 00:10:05,669
And it is they who are.

184
00:10:05,669 --> 00:10:09,340
The losers.

185
00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:12,340
Like those before you among the nations.

186
00:10:12,340 --> 00:10:15,340
Who did as you did, so Allah destroyed them.

187
00:10:15,340 --> 00:10:18,340
For they were stronger than you.

188
00:10:18,340 --> 00:10:21,340
In power and might, and more than you.

189
00:10:21,340 --> 00:10:24,340
In wealth and children.

190
00:10:24,340 --> 00:10:27,340
And they were content with that.

191
00:10:27,340 --> 00:10:30,340
From their share in this world.

192
00:10:30,340 --> 00:10:33,340
As a substitute for their share in the Hereafter.

193
00:10:33,340 --> 00:10:36,340
And you have followed, O hypocrites.

194
00:10:36,340 --> 00:10:39,340
Their path in enjoying.

195
00:10:39,340 --> 00:10:42,340
Your religion and your worldly life.

196
00:10:42,340 --> 00:10:45,340
Just as the nations who were before you enjoyed.

197
00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:48,340
Their share of their worldly life and their religion.

198
00:10:48,340 --> 00:10:51,340
And you engaged in lies and falsehood.

199
00:10:52,340 --> 00:10:55,340
Those are the ones whose deeds have gone to waste.

200
00:10:55,340 --> 00:10:58,340
And it is they who are the losers.

201
00:10:58,340 --> 00:11:01,340
Their transaction was selling the bliss.

202
00:11:01,340 --> 00:11:04,340
Of the Hereafter for their share of the world.

203
00:11:04,340 --> 00:11:08,269
The meager and insignificant.

204
00:11:08,269 --> 00:11:11,269
Has there not reached them the news of those before them?

205
00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:14,269
The people of Nuh and 'Ad.

206
00:11:14,269 --> 00:11:17,269
And Thamud.

207
00:11:17,269 --> 00:11:20,269
And the people of Ibrahim.

208
00:11:20,269 --> 00:11:23,269
And the people of Madyan.

209
00:11:23,269 --> 00:11:26,269
And the overturned cities.

210
00:11:26,269 --> 00:11:29,269
Their messengers came to them.

211
00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:32,269
With clear proofs.

212
00:11:32,269 --> 00:11:35,269
So it was not Allah who would wrong them.

213
00:11:35,269 --> 00:11:38,269
But they were themselves.

214
00:11:38,269 --> 00:11:41,269
Wronging.

215
00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:45,100
Has the news of those who came before them not reached these hypocrites?

216
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:48,100
The accounts of the nations that preceded them?

217
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:51,100
Did I not drown them in the flood?

218
00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:54,100
And the account of ‘Ad?

219
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:57,100
Did I not destroy them with a fierce, raging wind?

220
00:11:57,100 --> 00:12:00,139
And the account of Thamud?

221
00:12:00,139 --> 00:12:03,139
Did I not destroy them with the earthquake?

222
00:12:03,139 --> 00:12:06,139
And the account of the people of Ibrahim?

223
00:12:06,139 --> 00:12:09,139
Did I not strip them of their blessings?

224
00:12:09,139 --> 00:12:12,139
And destroy their king, Nimrod?

225
00:12:12,139 --> 00:12:15,139
And the account of the people of Madyan?

226
00:12:15,139 --> 00:12:18,139
And the account of those whose land was overturned upon them?

227
00:12:18,139 --> 00:12:21,169
So that its top became its bottom?

228
00:12:21,169 --> 00:12:24,169
Allah did not destroy these nations

229
00:12:24,169 --> 00:12:27,169
except for their criminality and their injustice toward their own souls.

230
00:12:27,169 --> 00:12:30,169
It was not an injustice from Allah,

231
00:12:30,169 --> 00:12:33,169
nor did He impose upon them a punishment

232
00:12:33,169 --> 00:12:36,169
for someone who did not deserve it.

233
00:12:36,169 --> 00:12:39,169
Rather, the people wronged themselves

234
00:12:39,169 --> 00:12:42,169
through disobedience to Allah and by denying His messengers,

235
00:12:42,169 --> 00:12:46,059
so the word of punishment was fulfilled, and they were punished.

236
00:12:46,059 --> 00:12:49,059
As for the believing men and believing women,

237
00:12:49,059 --> 00:12:52,059
they are allies of one another.

238
00:12:52,059 --> 00:12:55,059
They enjoin what is right,

239
00:12:55,059 --> 00:12:58,059
and they forbid what is wrong.

240
00:12:58,059 --> 00:13:01,059
They establish prayer,

241
00:13:01,059 --> 00:13:04,059
they give zakat,

242
00:13:04,059 --> 00:13:07,059
and they obey Allah and His Messenger.

243
00:13:07,059 --> 00:13:10,059
These are the ones

244
00:13:10,059 --> 00:13:13,059
upon whom Allah will have mercy.

245
00:13:13,059 --> 00:13:16,059
Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might,

246
00:13:16,059 --> 00:13:19,059
All-Wise.

247
00:13:19,059 --> 00:13:23,090
Those who believe in Allah and His Messenger,

248
00:13:23,090 --> 00:13:26,090
and in the verses of His Book,

249
00:13:26,090 --> 00:13:29,090
are supporters of one another.

250
00:13:29,090 --> 00:13:32,090
They call people to faith in Allah

251
00:13:32,090 --> 00:13:35,090
and His Messenger, and they forbid what is wrong.

252
00:13:35,090 --> 00:13:38,090
They perform the obligatory prayer,

253
00:13:38,090 --> 00:13:41,090
and they give the obligatory zakat to those entitled to it.

254
00:13:41,090 --> 00:13:44,090
They comply with the command of Allah and His Messenger,

255
00:13:44,090 --> 00:13:47,090
and they refrain from what He has forbidden them.

256
00:13:47,090 --> 00:13:50,120
These are the ones upon whom Allah will have mercy,

257
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,149
saving them from His punishment.

258
00:13:53,149 --> 00:13:56,149
Indeed, Allah is Mighty in His retribution

259
00:13:56,149 --> 00:13:59,149
against those of His creation who persist in disobedience

260
00:13:59,149 --> 00:14:02,149
and disbelief in Him; He is All-Wise

261
00:14:02,149 --> 00:14:06,299
in His retribution against them and in all His actions.

262
00:14:06,299 --> 00:14:09,299
“Allah promiseth to the believers, men and women, Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide - blessed dwellings in Gardens of Eden. And - greater (far)! - acceptance from Allah. That is the supreme triumph.” (9:72)

263
00:14:09,299 --> 00:14:12,299
Gardens

264
00:14:12,299 --> 00:14:15,299
beneath which

265
00:14:15,299 --> 00:14:18,299
rivers flow,

266
00:14:18,299 --> 00:14:21,299
abiding therein forever,

267
00:14:21,299 --> 00:14:24,299
and pleasant dwellings

268
00:14:24,299 --> 00:14:27,299
in Gardens of Eden.

269
00:14:27,299 --> 00:14:30,299
And approval

270
00:14:30,299 --> 00:14:33,299
from Allah is greater.

271
00:14:33,299 --> 00:14:36,299
That is the supreme success.

272
00:14:40,419 --> 00:14:43,419
Allah has promised those who believe in Allah and His Messenger

273
00:14:43,419 --> 00:14:46,419
gardens beneath whose trees rivers flow,

274
00:14:46,419 --> 00:14:49,419
remaining therein forever,

275
00:14:49,419 --> 00:14:52,419
and pleasant dwellings they shall inhabit

276
00:14:52,419 --> 00:14:55,419
in Gardens of Eden.

277
00:14:55,419 --> 00:14:58,419
Because they are gardens of eternity and residence,

278
00:14:58,419 --> 00:15:01,419
no one shall ever be removed from them.

279
00:15:01,419 --> 00:15:04,419
The promise of Allah to them is greater than all of that.

280
00:15:04,419 --> 00:15:07,419
These things promised to the believing men

281
00:15:07,419 --> 00:15:10,419
and believing women are the supreme success,

282
00:15:10,419 --> 00:15:14,159
than which there is nothing greater.

283
00:15:14,159 --> 00:15:17,159
O Prophet,

284
00:15:17,159 --> 00:15:20,159
strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites,

285
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:23,159
and be harsh with them.

286
00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:26,159
Their refuge is Hell,

287
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:29,159
and wretched is the destination.

288
00:15:29,159 --> 00:15:33,179
O Prophet, strive against the disbelievers

289
00:15:33,179 --> 00:15:36,179
with the sword and weaponry,

290
00:15:36,179 --> 00:15:39,179
and the hypocrites with your hand and tongue.

291
00:15:39,179 --> 00:15:42,179
For he was only commanded to fight those

292
00:15:42,179 --> 00:15:45,179
among the hypocrites who uttered the word of disbelief

293
00:15:45,179 --> 00:15:48,220
and persisted in manifesting

294
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,220
what they had displayed of it.

295
00:15:51,220 --> 00:15:54,220
As for those among them who, when it is discovered

296
00:15:54,220 --> 00:15:57,220
that they spoke a word of disbelief,

297
00:15:57,220 --> 00:16:00,220
their blood and wealth are spared.

298
00:16:00,220 --> 00:16:03,220
Be stern with them through jihad and combat,

299
00:16:03,220 --> 00:16:06,220
and intimidation; their dwellings are Hell,

300
00:16:06,220 --> 00:16:09,220
and wretched is the place to which they are turned—

301
00:16:09,220 --> 00:16:13,370
Hell.

302
00:16:13,370 --> 00:16:16,370
“They swear by Allah that they said nothing (wrong), yet they did say the word of disbelief, and did disbelieve after their Surrender (to Allah). And they purposed that which they could not attain, and they sought revenge only that Allah by His messenger should enrich them of His bounty. If they repent it will be better for them; and if they turn away, Allah will afflict them with a painful doom in the world and the Hereafter, and they have no protecting friend nor helper in the earth.” (9:74)

303
00:16:16,370 --> 00:16:19,370
“They swear by Allah that they said nothing (wrong), yet they did say the word of disbelief, and did disbelieve after their Surrender (to Allah). And they purposed that which they could not attain, and they sought revenge only that Allah by His messenger should enrich them of His bounty. If they repent it will be better for them; and if they turn away, Allah will afflict them with a painful doom in the world and the Hereafter, and they have no protecting friend nor helper in the earth.” (9:74)

304
00:16:19,370 --> 00:16:22,370
And they disbelieved after their Islam,

305
00:16:22,370 --> 00:16:25,370
and they plotted.

306
00:16:26,370 --> 00:16:29,370
“They swear by Allah that they said nothing (wrong), yet they did say the word of disbelief, and did disbelieve after their Surrender (to Allah). And they purposed that which they could not attain, and they sought revenge only that Allah by His messenger should enrich them of His bounty. If they repent it will be better for them; and if they turn away, Allah will afflict them with a painful doom in the world and the Hereafter, and they have no protecting friend nor helper in the earth.” (9:74)

307
00:16:29,370 --> 00:16:32,370
Allah and His Messenger enriched them

308
00:16:32,370 --> 00:16:35,370
out of His bounty.

309
00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:38,370
If they repent, it will be

310
00:16:38,370 --> 00:16:41,370
better for them, but if they

311
00:16:41,370 --> 00:16:44,370
turn away, Allah will punish them

312
00:16:44,370 --> 00:16:47,370
with a painful punishment

313
00:16:47,370 --> 00:16:50,370
in this world and the Hereafter.

314
00:16:50,370 --> 00:16:53,370
“They swear by Allah that they said nothing (wrong), yet they did say the word of disbelief, and did disbelieve after their Surrender (to Allah). And they purposed that which they could not attain, and they sought revenge only that Allah by His messenger should enrich them of His bounty. If they repent it will be better for them; and if they turn away, Allah will afflict them with a painful doom in the world and the Hereafter, and they have no protecting friend nor helper in the earth.” (9:74)

315
00:16:54,370 --> 00:16:57,370
They swear by Allah, lying,

316
00:16:57,370 --> 00:17:01,100
regarding a word of disbelief they uttered,

317
00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:04,099
that they did not say it.

318
00:17:04,099 --> 00:17:07,099
“They swear by Allah that they said nothing (wrong), yet they did say the word of disbelief, and did disbelieve after their Surrender (to Allah). And they purposed that which they could not attain, and they sought revenge only that Allah by His messenger should enrich them of His bounty. If they repent it will be better for them; and if they turn away, Allah will afflict them with a painful doom in the world and the Hereafter, and they have no protecting friend nor helper in the earth.” (9:74)

319
00:17:07,099 --> 00:17:10,099
And they disbelieved after their Islam.

320
00:17:10,099 --> 00:17:13,099
“They swear by Allah that they said nothing (wrong), yet they did say the word of disbelief, and did disbelieve after their Surrender (to Allah). And they purposed that which they could not attain, and they sought revenge only that Allah by His messenger should enrich them of His bounty. If they repent it will be better for them; and if they turn away, Allah will afflict them with a painful doom in the world and the Hereafter, and they have no protecting friend nor helper in the earth.” (9:74)

321
00:17:13,099 --> 00:17:16,200
The exegetes differed

322
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,200
as to who it was that plotted this,

323
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,200
and what the thing was that they plotted.

324
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,200
It is said it was a man among the hypocrites

325
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,200
who plotted to kill his stepson, who

326
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,200
had heard a word of disbelief from him

327
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,299
and feared he would expose him.

328
00:17:34,299 --> 00:17:37,299
It is said it was a man from Quraysh

329
00:17:37,299 --> 00:17:40,299
who plotted to kill the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

330
00:17:40,299 --> 00:17:43,299
And it is said it was ‘Abdullah Ibn Ubayy

331
00:17:43,299 --> 00:17:46,299
who plotted by his speech.

332
00:17:46,299 --> 00:17:49,359
“They say: Surely, if we return to Al-Madinah the mightier will soon drive out the weaker; when might belongeth to Allah and to His messenger and to the believers; but the hypocrites know not.” (63:8)

333
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,359
It was mentioned to us that the hypocrite who spoke

334
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,359
the word of disbelief was poor,

335
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,359
and Allah enriched him.

336
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,359
They found no fault with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

337
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,359
for anything, except that Allah and His Messenger

338
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,390
had enriched them out of His bounty after their poverty.

339
00:18:07,390 --> 00:18:10,390
If those who uttered

340
00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:13,390
the word of disbelief repent, their return

341
00:18:13,390 --> 00:18:16,420
and repentance will be better for them than hypocrisy.

342
00:18:16,420 --> 00:18:19,420
And if they do not repent, He will punish them with a painful punishment in this world,

343
00:18:19,420 --> 00:18:22,420
either by execution

344
00:18:22,420 --> 00:18:25,420
or by an immediate disgrace for them therein,

345
00:18:25,420 --> 00:18:28,490
and He will punish them in the Hereafter with the Fire.

346
00:18:28,490 --> 00:18:31,490
And these hypocrites will have no

347
00:18:31,490 --> 00:18:34,490
protector to shield them from the punishment of Allah,

348
00:18:34,490 --> 00:18:37,490
nor any helper to assist them against Allah

349
00:18:37,490 --> 00:18:41,799
and save them from His punishment.
