Allah knoweth what is in your hearts (O men), and Allah is ever Forgiving, Clement.” (33:51) 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.179 “Thou canst defer whom thou wilt of them and receive unto thee whom thou wilt, and whomsoever thou desirest of those whom thou hast set aside (temporarily), it is no sin for thee (to receive her again); that is better; that they may be comforted and not grieve, and may all be pleased with what thou givest them.

Allah knoweth what is in your hearts (O men), and Allah is ever Forgiving, Clement.” (33:51) 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.759 That is more likely to bring comfort to their eyes. 00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:46.560 And that they may not grieve, and may be pleased. 00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:52.679 “Thou canst defer whom thou wilt of them and receive unto thee whom thou wilt, and whomsoever thou desirest of those whom thou hast set aside (temporarily), it is no sin for thee (to receive her again); that is better; that they may be comforted and not grieve, and may all be pleased with what thou givest them.

And Allah is ever Watcher over all things.” (33:52) 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.960 For you are permitted to possess whom you wish from the slave-girls. 00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.879 And Allah is ever Watchful over what He has made lawful and unlawful for you. 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.080 Nothing of that escapes His knowledge. 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:40.759 “O Ye who believe!

Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet. O ye who believe! Ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation.” (33:56) 00:08:16.310 --> 00:08:25.009 “Lo!

Ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation.” (33:56) 00:08:25.129 --> 00:08:32.250 Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. 00:08:32.250 --> 00:08:39.649 It is understood that Allah bestows mercy upon the Prophet, and His angels pray for him and seek forgiveness for him. 00:08:39.649 --> 00:08:43.779 And greet him with the greeting of Islam. 00:08:43.779 --> 00:08:50.940 “Lo! those who malign Allah and His messenger, Allah hath cursed them in the world and the Hereafter, and hath prepared for them the doom of the disdained.” (33:57) 00:08:50.940 --> 00:09:00.639 “Lo! those who malign Allah and His messenger, Allah hath cursed them in the world and the Hereafter, and hath prepared for them the doom of the disdained.” (33:57) 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:05.480 Indeed, those who annoy their Lord by committing what He has forbidden them. 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:10.519 It has been said that this refers to those who make images. 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:15.360 This is because they seek to create a creation like the creation of Allah. 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:19.600 Allah has distanced them from His mercy in this world and the Hereafter. 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:25.679 And has prepared for them in the Hereafter a humiliating punishment, in which they will abide forever. 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:31.639 “And those who malign believing men and believing women undeservedly, they bear the guilt of slander and manifest sin.” (33:58) 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:41.990 “And those who malign believing men and believing women undeservedly, they bear the guilt of slander and manifest sin.” (33:58) 00:09:41.990 --> 00:09:49.629 And those who slander believing men and believing women, accusing them of things they did not do. 00:09:49.629 --> 00:09:53.990 They have burdened themselves with falsehood, a manifest lie, and a heinous fabrication. 00:09:53.990 --> 00:09:59.679 And a sin that is clear to the listener as being a lie and a falsehood. 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:09.840 “O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (33:59) 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:16.519 They should draw their outer garments over themselves. 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:23.080 “O Prophet!

Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (33:59) 00:10:33.179 --> 00:10:40.059 They should not resemble slave-girls in their dress when they go out of their houses for their needs. 00:10:40.059 --> 00:10:43.419 By uncovering their hair and their faces. 00:10:43.460 --> 00:10:47.059 Rather, they should draw their outer garments over themselves. 00:10:47.059 --> 00:10:53.580 So that no immoral person may bother them, knowing they are free women, by saying something. 00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:59.139 Their drawing their garments over themselves is closer and more likely to make them recognized by those they pass by. 00:10:59.139 --> 00:11:02.100 And they will know that they are not slave-girls. 00:11:02.100 --> 00:11:06.100 So they will refrain from harming them with offensive speech. 00:11:06.100 --> 00:11:09.539 And Allah is ever Forgiving for what they did in the past. 00:11:09.580 --> 00:11:13.740 Merciful toward them, not punishing them after their repentance. 00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:18.679 By drawing their outer garments over themselves. 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.879 The Summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
