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

00:00:05,169 --> 00:00:08,050
A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

3
00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:12,759
Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil Ibn Salim al-Shammari.

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,339
Surah al-Tin.

5
00:00:18,620 --> 00:00:22,699
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

6
00:00:22,699 --> 00:00:26,059
By the fig and the olive,

7
00:00:26,059 --> 00:00:28,699
And by Mount Sinai,

8
00:00:28,699 --> 00:00:32,619
And by this secure city [Makkah].

9
00:00:32,820 --> 00:00:38,740
“Surely We created man of the best stature” (95:4)

10
00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:43,939
“Then we reduced him to the lowest of the low,” (95:5)

11
00:00:43,939 --> 00:00:48,140
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds.

12
00:00:48,140 --> 00:00:51,939
“Save those who believe and do good works, and theirs is a reward unfailing.” (95:6)

13
00:00:52,979 --> 00:00:56,179
Our Lord, may His glory be exalted, swears by the fig,

14
00:00:56,179 --> 00:00:58,659
Which is the fig that is eaten,

15
00:00:58,659 --> 00:01:01,859
And the olive, from which oil is pressed,

16
00:01:01,939 --> 00:01:05,200
And Mount Sinai, a well-known mountain,

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,799
And this city, secure from its enemies,

18
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:11,219
Who might otherwise fight its people or invade them.

19
00:01:11,219 --> 00:01:15,620
We have certainly created man in the best and most balanced form.

20
00:01:15,620 --> 00:01:18,500
Then We return him to the lowest of the low,

21
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:20,620
To the age of senility,

22
00:01:20,620 --> 00:01:24,379
Those whose faculties have departed due to old age and infirmity,

23
00:01:24,379 --> 00:01:26,900
For he is in the lowest of states,

24
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:29,859
In the decline of life and the loss of mental acuity.

25
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:32,700
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds,

26
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:35,500
During their health and youth,

27
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:39,260
For they shall have an uninterrupted reward after they grow old,

28
00:01:39,260 --> 00:01:43,180
Similar to what they were granted for their deeds,

29
00:01:43,180 --> 00:01:45,219
During the time they were active,

30
00:01:45,219 --> 00:01:47,739
When they were strong enough to perform them,

31
00:01:47,739 --> 00:01:49,980
For they shall have a reward that is not diminished,

32
00:01:49,980 --> 00:01:55,079
Just as it was for them during their days of health and youth.

33
00:01:55,079 --> 00:01:59,560
“So who henceforth will give the lie to thee about the judgment?” (95:7)

34
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:06,329
“Is not Allah the most conclusive of all judges?” (95:8)

35
00:02:06,329 --> 00:02:09,490
So who can deny you, O Muhammad, after these proofs,

36
00:02:09,490 --> 00:02:12,449
Which We have presented regarding the religion,

37
00:02:12,449 --> 00:02:14,490
Meaning obedience to Allah,

38
00:02:14,490 --> 00:02:18,050
And His recompensing of His servants for their deeds?

39
00:02:18,050 --> 00:02:19,810
Is Allah not, O Muhammad,

40
00:02:19,810 --> 00:02:22,449
The most just of all judges in His decrees,

41
00:02:22,449 --> 00:02:26,860
And the most decisive in His judgment among His servants?

42
00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:29,860
A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
