Indeed, in that are signs for a people who reflect 00:01:17.739 --> 00:01:22.299 And He has subjugated for you whatever is in the heavens of the sun, moon, and stars 00:01:22.620 --> 00:01:30.299 And everything on earth of animals, trees, mountains, inanimate objects, and ships is for your benefits and interests 00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:34.459 All of these blessings I mentioned to you, people 00:01:34.780 --> 00:01:40.379 From God He bestowed it upon you and a favor from Him that He bestowed upon you 00:01:41.019 --> 00:01:47.700 There are signs and indications in God’s subjugation of you that you have no god other than Him 00:01:48.099 --> 00:01:53.180 For a people who ponder God’s signs and proofs and consider them 00:01:54.730 --> 00:02:09.770 Say to those who believe, “Forgive those who do not hope in the days of God, that He may recompense a people for what they used to earn.” 00:02:11.050 --> 00:02:14.409 Say, O Muhammad, to those who believe in God and follow you 00:02:14.969 --> 00:02:19.930 Forgive those who do not fear God's punishment, events, and vengeance 00:02:20.490 --> 00:02:23.129 If they harm them and deceive them 00:02:23.610 --> 00:02:27.770 May God reward those polytheists who harm them 00:02:28.250 --> 00:02:32.969 And His torment will befall them because of the sin they were earning in this world 00:02:34.939 --> 00:02:49.319 Whoever does good deeds, it is for his own soul, and whoever does evil, it is for him. Then to your Lord you will be returned 00:02:50.699 --> 00:02:55.500 Whoever acts in obedience to Him, he will do that good deed for himself 00:02:56.060 --> 00:03:00.219 And whoever does wrong in this world, his soul will be punished 00:03:01.129 --> 00:03:04.490 Then you will return to your Lord after your death 00:03:05.129 --> 00:03:09.129 He rewards the doer of good with his good deeds and the wrongdoer with his evil 00:03:11.099 --> 00:03:19.979 We gave the Children of Israel the Book, wisdom, and prophecy, and provided for them 00:03:20.460 --> 00:03:28.060 And We provided them with good things and favored them over the worlds 00:03:29.099 --> 00:03:34.060 And We gave them clear evidence of the matter 00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:43.180 They did not differ except after knowledge had come to them, out of envy among themselves 00:03:43.740 --> 00:03:52.780 Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding what they differed about 00:03:54.379 --> 00:03:59.180 O Muhammad, We have given the children of Israel the Torah and the Gospel 00:03:59.659 --> 00:04:02.300 Understanding the Book and knowledge of the Sunnah 00:04:02.939 --> 00:04:06.219 And We made them prophets and messengers to creation 00:04:06.860 --> 00:04:09.659 We fed them from the good things we provided 00:04:10.139 --> 00:04:13.340 We preferred them over the world of the people of their time 00:04:13.900 --> 00:04:17.740 And We gave the Children of Israel clear information about Our matter 00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:24.300 They did not differ except after knowledge had come to them, out of envy among themselves and seeking leadership 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:32.279 Your Lord, O Muhammad, will judge between the dissenters among the Children of Israel out of envy among themselves on the Day of Resurrection 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.639 In what they were in this world, they differed 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.240 Then the right person will escape from the wrongdoer 00:04:41.509 --> 00:04:49.019 Then We made you follow a law of command, so follow it 00:04:49.899 --> 00:04:57.420 So follow it and do not follow the desires of those who do not know 00:04:58.060 --> 00:05:04.139 They will not conceal anything from God from you 00:05:04.459 --> 00:05:10.699 Indeed, the wrongdoers are allies of one another 00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:14.860 God is the protector of the righteous 00:05:16.790 --> 00:05:22.389 Then We made you, O Muhammad, a method, a Sunnah, and a method of Our affair 00:05:22.949 --> 00:05:26.230 So follow that law that we have made for you 00:05:26.790 --> 00:05:30.149 Do not follow what those who are ignorant of God have called you to do 00:05:30.629 --> 00:05:33.589 Who do not know right from wrong 00:05:34.389 --> 00:05:39.430 These ignorant people will not avail you of God's punishment at all 00:05:39.910 --> 00:05:42.389 They will push him away from you and save you from him 00:05:43.029 --> 00:05:45.910 And the oppressors are supporters of each other 00:05:46.550 --> 00:05:51.430 God is the One who follows Him who fears Him by performing His obligations and avoiding sins 00:05:51.910 --> 00:05:53.509 So be among the pious 00:05:53.910 --> 00:05:57.829 May God protect you from what these polytheists put you through 00:06:04.819 --> 00:06:09.769 This is the book that we have sent down to you, O Muhammad 00:06:10.170 --> 00:06:14.089 Insights for people to see right from wrong 00:06:14.649 --> 00:06:20.490 Guidance and mercy for people who are certain of the authenticity of this Qur’an 00:06:36.100 --> 00:06:41.060 Or do those who commit evil deeds in this world think? 00:06:41.540 --> 00:06:46.579 To make them in the afterlife like those who believed in God and did righteous deeds 00:06:47.060 --> 00:06:49.589 Their faces are the same 00:06:50.069 --> 00:06:52.310 And their deaths are equal deaths 00:06:52.790 --> 00:06:54.790 Miserable is the judgment that they envisaged 00:06:55.269 --> 00:06:58.069 They are bad and their deaths are bad 00:06:58.790 --> 00:07:00.790 And their deaths are bad 00:07:01.269 --> 00:07:03.269 And their deaths are bad 00:07:04.149 --> 00:07:06.149 Miserable is the judgment that they envisaged 00:07:06.470 --> 00:07:11.829 That we make those who commit evil deeds and those who believe and do good deeds 00:07:12.310 --> 00:07:14.790 Both their lives and their deaths 00:07:16.329 --> 00:07:20.569 God created the heavens and the earth with truth 00:07:20.889 --> 00:07:25.050 And let every soul be rewarded for what it has earned 00:07:25.449 --> 00:07:29.930 And let every soul be rewarded for what it has earned 00:07:30.250 --> 00:07:32.250 And they are not wronged 00:07:33.990 --> 00:07:37.110 God created the heavens and the earth with justice 00:07:37.589 --> 00:07:41.670 It is right to disagree between the judgment of the wrongdoer and the good 00:07:42.230 --> 00:07:45.829 May God reward every worker for what he has done 00:07:45.990 --> 00:07:47.990 The philanthropist 00:07:48.310 --> 00:07:50.310 And the one who does wrong with what he deserves 00:07:50.790 --> 00:07:53.430 Not to deprive the benefactor of the reward of his benevolence 00:07:53.829 --> 00:07:55.829 We hold someone else responsible for his crime 00:07:56.310 --> 00:08:00.470 Or we give the wrongdoer the reward of being kind to others, so we honor him 00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:08.500 Have you seen the one who takes the god of his own desires and God sends him astray with knowledge? 00:08:09.060 --> 00:08:12.100 And God led him astray with knowledge 00:08:12.420 --> 00:08:15.459 He sealed his hearing and his heart 00:08:15.459 --> 00:08:18.980 And He placed a veil over his sight 00:08:19.540 --> 00:08:24.579 Who will guide him after God? 00:08:25.139 --> 00:08:27.779 Do you not remember? 00:08:29.350 --> 00:08:32.950 Have you seen, O Muhammad, who takes his desires as his deity? 00:08:33.429 --> 00:08:34.950 He worships what he is 00:08:35.509 --> 00:08:38.950 And take him from the path of the path in his previous knowledge 00:08:39.429 --> 00:08:44.149 Knowing that he would not be guided even if every sign came to him 00:08:44.710 --> 00:08:49.509 It was his nature to listen to God’s sermons and take them into consideration 00:08:50.070 --> 00:08:54.230 It was also imprinted on his heart so that he could not understand anything about it 00:08:54.710 --> 00:08:59.269 He placed a veil on his sight so that he could see the proofs of God 00:08:59.669 --> 00:09:02.389 This indicates his oneness 00:09:02.950 --> 00:09:05.269 Who will help him achieve the truth? 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.440 Do you not remember, O people? 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:13.960 So learn that whoever God does to him as we have described will never be guided 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:23.879 They said, “It is nothing but our worldly life. We die and live, and nothing destroys us except eternity.” 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:31.720 And they have no knowledge of that; they only assume 00:09:33.179 --> 00:09:35.340 These polytheists said 00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:42.299 There is no life except our worldly life in which we are, and there is no life other than it 00:09:42.779 --> 00:09:46.620 We die and our children live after us 00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:50.940 So they made the lives of their children after them their lives 00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:56.379 And nothing destroys us except the passing of nights and days and the length of our lives 00:09:56.940 --> 00:10:00.220 And the polytheists have no certainty of knowledge 00:10:00.700 --> 00:10:03.340 They only think so 00:10:03.820 --> 00:10:09.820 They are confused about their belief in the truth of what they say with their tongues 00:10:13.379 --> 00:10:31.700 And they do not have Our clear signs. Their only proof was that they said, “Bring our fathers if you are truthful.” 00:10:33.049 --> 00:10:39.690 And when Our verses are recited to these polytheists, they are clear and evident, banishing doubt 00:10:40.169 --> 00:10:46.730 They had no argument against our Messenger who was reciting that to them except what they said to him 00:10:47.210 --> 00:10:53.450 Bring us our fathers who perished if you are truthful in what you recite to us 00:11:11.110 --> 00:11:27.340 Say, O Muhammad, God, O polytheists, gives you life in this world, then causes you to die in it, then gathers you alive for the Day of Resurrection, of which there is no doubt. 00:11:27.899 --> 00:11:34.620 But most people who deny the resurrection do not know the truth of that 00:11:36.009 --> 00:11:47.370 To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and on the day the Hour comes, on that day the invalid will lose 00:11:48.889 --> 00:11:58.490 And to God belongs the authority of the seven heavens and the earth, and upon whomever you call other than Him among the gods and equals, His judgment is carried out 00:11:58.970 --> 00:12:07.450 And the day the Hour comes in which those who were vain in this world will be ignorant in their words and their supplication to God as a partner 00:12:08.580 --> 00:12:23.379 And you will see every nation kneeling, every nation called to its book. Today you will be rewarded for what you used to do 00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:34.940 And you will see, O Muhammad, on the day when the Hour will come, the people of every sect and religion will come together, brought to their knees by the terror of that day 00:12:34.940 --> 00:12:48.700 All people of a sect and religion will be called to her book, which she dictated to her memorizers. It will be said to her, “Today you will be rewarded and given the rewards for what you did in this world.” 00:13:06.409 --> 00:13:15.299 It will be said to every nation that is called on the Resurrection to its book: “Today you will be rewarded for what you used to do.” 00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:24.340 Do not be afraid of our reward for that, for it will be pronounced against you if you deny it with the truth, so read it 00:13:24.659 --> 00:13:31.620 We used to write down your deeds, so you would record them in the books and write them down 00:13:33.190 --> 00:13:45.509 As for those who believe and do righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. This is the clear victory 00:13:45.990 --> 00:14:00.230 As for those who disbelieved, did the verses recite to you, but you were arrogant and were a criminal people 00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:12.139 So they united with Him and did what God commanded them to do, and their Lord would admit them into His Paradise with His mercy 00:14:12.620 --> 00:14:22.620 Their entry into God's mercy on that day is the achievement of what they were asking for, and what is clear is their goal in it is victory 00:14:23.340 --> 00:14:32.059 As for those who deny the oneness of God, it will be said to them: Were not My verses recited to you in this world? 00:14:32.460 --> 00:14:40.379 But you were too arrogant to listen to it and believe in it, and you were a people earning sins and disbelief in God 00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:52.379 And if it is said that God’s promise is true and that the Hour is without doubt, you say, “We do not know.” 00:14:52.860 --> 00:15:03.899 You said, "We do not know what the Hour is. We only assume a suspicion, and we are not certain." 00:15:05.340 --> 00:15:15.740 And it will be said to them then, when it is said to you that the promise of God that He promised His servants that He would give them life after their death is true 00:15:16.460 --> 00:15:24.700 The Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it. You said, “We do not know what the Hour is,” as a denial of God’s promise on your part 00:15:25.259 --> 00:15:36.059 You said, “We do not think that the Hour is coming except as a guess, and we are not certain that it is coming or that it will happen.” 00:15:37.860 --> 00:15:46.740 The evils of what they had done became apparent to them, and what they mocked befell them 00:15:48.139 --> 00:15:54.059 There, the ugliness and evil of the deeds they had done in this world became apparent to them 00:15:54.539 --> 00:16:00.139 The punishment of God befell them at that time, which they mocked 00:16:01.590 --> 00:16:14.789 It was said, “Today we will forget you just as you forgot the meeting of this day of yours.” 00:16:14.789 --> 00:16:22.419 Your abode is the Fire, and you will not have helpers 00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:33.700 And it was said to these infidels, “Today we leave you in the torment of Hell just as you abandoned work to save yourself from this day of yours.” 00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:38.019 And your abode to which you seek refuge is the fire of Hell 00:16:38.500 --> 00:16:47.059 And you have no savior to save you today from the punishment of God, nor any victor to defend you from those who torture you 00:16:48.389 --> 00:17:05.109 That is because you took the signs of God in mockery and were deceived by the life of this world. Today they will not depart from it nor will they be reproached 00:17:06.490 --> 00:17:17.369 It will be said to them: This is what befell you from God’s punishment, that in this world you took God’s arguments and evidence as a mockery, mocking them. 00:17:17.849 --> 00:17:31.930 And the adornments of the worldly life deceived you, so you preferred them to work for what would save you from the punishment of God. Today they will not emerge from the Fire, nor will they be returned to this world to repent. 00:17:33.619 --> 00:17:41.140 Praise be to God, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, Lord of the worlds 00:17:41.140 --> 00:17:52.660 To Him belongs pride in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:18.200 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
