In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:08,589
Summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

3
00:00:08,589 --> 00:00:14,109
Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari.

4
00:00:14,109 --> 00:00:18,219
Surah al-An'am.

5
00:00:18,219 --> 00:00:23,519
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

6
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:30,120
“He it is Who produceth gardens trellised and untrellised, and the date-palm, and crops of divers flavour, and the olive and the pomegranate, like and unlike. Eat ye of the fruit thereof when it fruiteth, and pay the due thereof upon the harvest day, and be not prodigal. Lo! Allah loveth not the prodigals.” (6:141)

7
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,719
"...and trellised..."

8
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:45,119
“He it is Who produceth gardens trellised and untrellised, and the date-palm, and crops of divers flavour, and the olive and the pomegranate, like and unlike. Eat ye of the fruit thereof when it fruiteth, and pay the due thereof upon the harvest day, and be not prodigal. Lo! Allah loveth not the prodigals.” (6:141)

9
00:00:45,119 --> 00:00:50,719
"...and olives and pomegranates, similar..."

10
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:55,119
"...similar and dissimilar..."

11
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,320
“He it is Who produceth gardens trellised and untrellised, and the date-palm, and crops of divers flavour, and the olive and the pomegranate, like and unlike. Eat ye of the fruit thereof when it fruiteth, and pay the due thereof upon the harvest day, and be not prodigal. Lo! Allah loveth not the prodigals.” (6:141)

12
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,920
“He it is Who produceth gardens trellised and untrellised, and the date-palm, and crops of divers flavour, and the olive and the pomegranate, like and unlike. Eat ye of the fruit thereof when it fruiteth, and pay the due thereof upon the harvest day, and be not prodigal. Lo! Allah loveth not the prodigals.” (6:141)

13
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,319
"...and do not commit excess..."

14
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:12,659
"...Indeed, He does not like those who commit excess."

15
00:01:12,659 --> 00:01:14,659
Your Lord, O people,

16
00:01:14,659 --> 00:01:18,859
Has created gardens raised upon trellises made by people,

17
00:01:18,859 --> 00:01:21,659
And others untrellised, growing directly on the ground;

18
00:01:21,659 --> 00:01:25,659
Yet Allah causes them to rise, sprout, and grow.

19
00:01:25,659 --> 00:01:28,859
And He brought forth palm trees and crops of varying produce,

20
00:01:28,859 --> 00:01:31,260
As well as olives and pomegranates, similar in shape,

21
00:01:31,260 --> 00:01:33,659
Yet dissimilar in taste;

22
00:01:33,659 --> 00:01:36,290
For among them are the sweet and the sour.

23
00:01:36,290 --> 00:01:38,890
“He it is Who produceth gardens trellised and untrellised, and the date-palm, and crops of divers flavour, and the olive and the pomegranate, like and unlike. Eat ye of the fruit thereof when it fruiteth, and pay the due thereof upon the harvest day, and be not prodigal. Lo! Allah loveth not the prodigals.” (6:141)

24
00:01:38,890 --> 00:01:42,290
"And pay its due on the day of its harvest..."

25
00:01:42,290 --> 00:01:44,489
And do not commit excess in giving away

26
00:01:44,489 --> 00:01:48,239
Your wealth to the extent that it harms you.

27
00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:53,239
“And of the cattle (He produceth) some for burdens, some for food. Eat of that which Allah hath bestowed upon you, and follow not the footsteps of the devil, for lo! he is an open foe to you.” (6:142)

28
00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:57,040
"Eat of what Allah has provided for you..."

29
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,840
"...and do not follow the footsteps of Satan..."

30
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:08,349
"...Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy."

31
00:02:08,349 --> 00:02:10,750
And He brought forth from livestock beasts of burden,

32
00:02:10,750 --> 00:02:12,949
Such as camels that carry loads,

33
00:02:12,949 --> 00:02:15,349
And small livestock fit for bedding, which are the young camels

34
00:02:15,349 --> 00:02:18,550
That have not yet reached the size to carry loads.

35
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:20,550
"Eat of what Allah has provided for you..."

36
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:22,349
O believers,

37
00:02:22,349 --> 00:02:25,150
"...and do not follow the footsteps of Satan..."

38
00:02:25,150 --> 00:02:27,150
Lest you prohibit upon yourselves

39
00:02:27,150 --> 00:02:29,150
The good provisions Allah has provided,

40
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:31,349
“Lo! the devil is an enemy for you, so treat him as an enemy. He only summoneth his faction to be owners of the flaming Fire.” (35:6)

41
00:02:31,349 --> 00:02:33,150
For he desires your destruction,

42
00:02:33,150 --> 00:02:36,849
And he has clearly shown his enmity to you.

43
00:02:36,849 --> 00:02:40,449
"Eight pairs:"

44
00:02:40,449 --> 00:02:42,250
"Of the sheep, two..."

45
00:02:42,250 --> 00:02:45,250
"...and of the goats, two..."

46
00:02:45,250 --> 00:02:49,250
"Say: 'Is it the two males...'"

47
00:02:49,250 --> 00:02:53,050
"'...He has forbidden, or the two females...'"

48
00:02:53,050 --> 00:02:55,449
"'...or the two females...'"

49
00:02:55,449 --> 00:02:58,250
"'...or that which contains...'"

50
00:02:58,250 --> 00:03:02,449
"'...the wombs of the two females?'"

51
00:03:02,449 --> 00:03:04,650
"'Inform me with knowledge...'"

52
00:03:04,650 --> 00:03:10,889
"'...if you are truthful.'"

53
00:03:10,889 --> 00:03:12,689
And from livestock We created

54
00:03:12,689 --> 00:03:14,689
Eight pairs:

55
00:03:14,689 --> 00:03:15,889
Of the sheep, two,

56
00:03:15,889 --> 00:03:17,689
And of the goats, two—

57
00:03:17,689 --> 00:03:19,490
Making a total of four.

58
00:03:19,490 --> 00:03:21,490
Say to them, O Muhammad:

59
00:03:21,490 --> 00:03:23,490
"Is it the two males that your Lord..."

60
00:03:23,490 --> 00:03:25,490
Has forbidden of the sheep and goats?

61
00:03:25,490 --> 00:03:27,490
If they claim that,

62
00:03:27,490 --> 00:03:29,490
They have demonstrated their ignorance,

63
00:03:29,490 --> 00:03:31,490
Because they make use of

64
00:03:31,490 --> 00:03:33,490
The meat and backs of the males.

65
00:03:33,490 --> 00:03:35,490
And if they say:

66
00:03:35,490 --> 00:03:37,490
"Our Lord has forbidden the two females"

67
00:03:37,490 --> 00:03:39,490
Of the sheep and goats,

68
00:03:39,490 --> 00:03:41,490
In that lies a refutation of their claim,

69
00:03:41,490 --> 00:03:43,490
Because they make use of

70
00:03:43,490 --> 00:03:45,490
The meat and backs of some of those females.

71
00:03:45,490 --> 00:03:47,490
And if they say:

72
00:03:47,490 --> 00:03:49,490
"Our Lord has forbidden..."

73
00:03:49,490 --> 00:03:51,490
"...that which the wombs of the two females contained,"

74
00:03:51,490 --> 00:03:53,490
Their argument is invalidated,

75
00:03:53,490 --> 00:03:55,490
Because they make use of

76
00:03:55,490 --> 00:03:57,490
Some of their males and females.

77
00:03:57,490 --> 00:03:59,490
Say to them, O Muhammad:

78
00:03:59,490 --> 00:04:01,490
"Inform me"

79
00:04:01,490 --> 00:04:03,490
With actual knowledge as to which of these

80
00:04:03,490 --> 00:04:05,490
Your Lord has forbidden to you,

81
00:04:05,490 --> 00:04:08,219
"If you are truthful."

82
00:04:08,219 --> 00:04:10,219
"And of the camels, two..."

83
00:04:10,219 --> 00:04:12,219
"...and of the cattle, two..."

84
00:04:12,219 --> 00:04:14,219
"Say: 'Is it the two males...'"

85
00:04:14,219 --> 00:04:17,279
"...He has forbidden..."

86
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,279
"...or the two females..."

87
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,279
"...or the two females..."

88
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,279
"...or..."

89
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,279
"...the two females..."

90
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,279
"...or..."

91
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,279
"...that which contained..."

92
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,279
"...the wombs of the two females?..."

93
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,279
"...Or..."

94
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,279
"...were you witnesses..."

95
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,279
"...when..."

96
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,279
"...Allah enjoined this upon you?'..."

97
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,279
"...So who is more unjust..."

98
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,279
"...than one who invents..."

99
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,279
"...a lie against Allah..."

100
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,279
"...to mislead the people..."

101
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,279
"...without knowledge?..."

102
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,279
"...Indeed, Allah does not..."

103
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,279
"...guide the wrongdoing people."

104
00:04:55,980 --> 00:04:57,980
"And of the camels, two..."

105
00:04:57,980 --> 00:04:59,980
"...and of the cattle, two..."

106
00:04:59,980 --> 00:05:01,980
These make four pairs.

107
00:05:01,980 --> 00:05:03,980
"Say: 'Is it the two males..."

108
00:05:03,980 --> 00:05:05,980
"...He has forbidden, or the two females..."

109
00:05:05,980 --> 00:05:07,980
"...or that which contained..."

110
00:05:07,980 --> 00:05:09,980
"...the wombs of the two females?'"

111
00:05:09,980 --> 00:05:11,980
Say to them, O Muhammad:

112
00:05:11,980 --> 00:05:13,980
"Did you speak based on knowledge that Allah..."

113
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:15,980
Forbidden this—did He inform you of it,

114
00:05:15,980 --> 00:05:17,980
Or did His Messenger inform you?

115
00:05:17,980 --> 00:05:19,980
Or were you present before your Lord

116
00:05:19,980 --> 00:05:21,980
When He enjoined this upon you?

117
00:05:21,980 --> 00:05:23,980
For this which

118
00:05:23,980 --> 00:05:25,980
You claim cannot be known

119
00:05:25,980 --> 00:05:27,980
Except through divine revelation.

120
00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:29,980
Who, then, is more unjust to himself

121
00:05:29,980 --> 00:05:31,980
And further from the truth

122
00:05:31,980 --> 00:05:33,980
Than one who fabricates lies against Allah

123
00:05:33,980 --> 00:05:35,980
To turn people away from His path?

124
00:05:35,980 --> 00:05:37,980
Indeed, Allah does not guide to righteousness

125
00:05:37,980 --> 00:05:39,980
Anyone who fabricates falsehood and lies.

126
00:05:39,980 --> 00:05:42,560
"Say: 'I do not find...'"

127
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,560
"'...in that which has been revealed to me...'"

128
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,560
"'...anything forbidden to an eater...'"

129
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,560
"'...who eats it...'"

130
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,560
"'...unless it be...'"

131
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,560
"'...carrion...'"

132
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,560
"'...unless it be...'"

133
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,560
"'...carrion, or spilled...'"

134
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,560
"'...blood, or the flesh...'"

135
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,560
"'...of swine...'"

136
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,560
"'...or the flesh of swine...'"

137
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,560
"'...for indeed, it is...'"

138
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,560
"'...an abomination; or an impious offering...'"

139
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,560
"'...or an impious offering...'"

140
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,560
"'...dedicated to other than Allah.'..."

141
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,560
"'...But whoever is forced by necessity...'"

142
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,560
"'...without desiring it...'"

143
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,560
"'...nor transgressing...'"

144
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,560
"'...then indeed, your Lord is...'"

145
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,560
"'...Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'"

146
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,040
Say, O Muhammad,

147
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,040
To these people: "I do not find

148
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,040
In that which has been revealed to me of His Book

149
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,040
Anything forbidden to

150
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,040
An eater who eats it

151
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,040
Among the things you claim He forbidden

152
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,040
Of these livestock—

153
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,040
“Say: I find not in that which is revealed unto me aught prohibited to an eater that he eat thereof, except it be carrion, or blood poured forth, or swineflesh - for that verily is foul - or the abomination which was immolated to the name of other than Allah. But whoso is compelled (thereto), neither craving nor transgressing, (for him) lo! thy Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.” (6:145)

154
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,040
Except for carrion, or spilled blood that flows,

155
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,040
Or the flesh of

156
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,040
Swine, for it is impure

157
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,040
And filthy;

158
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,040
Or an animal slaughtered

159
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,040
By the polytheists, the idolaters,

160
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,040
Over which the name of an idol was invoked."

161
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,040
"But whoever is forced by necessity"

162
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,040
To eat what Allah has forbidden,

163
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,040
Without desiring to eat it for pleasure,

164
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,040
Nor seeking enjoyment in it,

165
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,040
Nor transgressing in his eating by exceeding

166
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,040
The limit Allah set

167
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,040
That permitted it to him,

168
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,040
Then there is no sin upon him

169
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,040
In what he has done of that.

170
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,040
For He conceals his fault by withholding

171
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,040
Punishment for it,

172
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,040
And He is Most Merciful in allowing

173
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,040
Him to eat that in his time of need.

174
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,040
Had He willed,

175
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,040
He could have forbidden it to him and withheld

176
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,779
It from him.

177
00:07:39,779 --> 00:07:41,779
"...or joined to a bone.

178
00:07:41,779 --> 00:07:43,779
Thus did We recompense them

179
00:07:43,779 --> 00:07:45,779
For their transgression,

180
00:07:45,779 --> 00:07:47,779
And indeed, We

181
00:07:47,779 --> 00:07:49,779
Are truthful."

182
00:07:51,779 --> 00:07:54,129
"And unto those who are Jews We forbade

183
00:07:54,129 --> 00:07:56,129
Every animal with undivided hoofs—among beasts

184
00:07:56,129 --> 00:07:58,129
And birds;"

185
00:07:58,129 --> 00:08:00,129
Namely, that which does not have cloven

186
00:08:00,129 --> 00:08:02,129
Toes, such as camels, ostriches,

187
00:08:02,129 --> 00:08:04,129
Geese, and ducks.

188
00:08:04,129 --> 00:08:06,129
"And We forbade unto the Jews

189
00:08:06,129 --> 00:08:08,129
Of cattle and sheep their fat,

190
00:08:08,129 --> 00:08:10,129
Except the fat of the flanks,

191
00:08:10,129 --> 00:08:12,129
Or what is attached to the back,"

192
00:08:12,129 --> 00:08:14,129
Such as the tail fat.

193
00:08:14,129 --> 00:08:16,129
Likewise, He did not forbid

194
00:08:16,129 --> 00:08:18,129
What is attached to the entrails,

195
00:08:18,129 --> 00:08:20,129
Which are the small intestines,

196
00:08:20,129 --> 00:08:22,129
Nor what is mixed with bone,

197
00:08:22,129 --> 00:08:24,129
Such as the fat of the tail fat, what is in the limbs,

198
00:08:24,129 --> 00:08:26,129
The flanks, and the head;

199
00:08:26,129 --> 00:08:28,129
Whatever is mixed

200
00:08:28,129 --> 00:08:30,129
With bone is lawful.

201
00:08:30,129 --> 00:08:32,129
"That is what We recompensed them with"

202
00:08:32,129 --> 00:08:34,129
By way of punishment for them,

203
00:08:34,129 --> 00:08:36,129
"And indeed, We are truthful"

204
00:08:36,129 --> 00:08:38,129
In this report of Ours concerning these

205
00:08:38,129 --> 00:08:40,129
Jews and what We forbade

206
00:08:40,129 --> 00:08:42,129
To them, whereas they are the liars

207
00:08:42,129 --> 00:08:44,129
In their claim,

208
00:08:44,129 --> 00:08:46,129
that this was only forbidden

209
00:08:46,129 --> 00:08:48,769
by Israel [Jacob] upon himself.

210
00:08:48,769 --> 00:08:50,769
If they deny you,

211
00:08:50,769 --> 00:08:52,769
then say, "Your Lord

212
00:08:52,769 --> 00:08:54,769
is possessed of mercy

213
00:08:54,769 --> 00:08:56,769
that is vast."

214
00:08:56,769 --> 00:08:58,769
Say, "Your Lord

215
00:08:58,769 --> 00:09:00,769
is possessed of vast mercy,

216
00:09:00,769 --> 00:09:02,769
and He does not avert

217
00:09:02,769 --> 00:09:04,769
His punishment from the people [who are guilty]."

218
00:09:05,769 --> 00:09:08,470
If these Jews deny you, O Muhammad,

219
00:09:08,470 --> 00:09:10,470
[peace be upon him],

220
00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:12,470
then say, "Your Lord

221
00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:14,470
is possessed of mercy toward us

222
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:16,470
and toward whoever is a believer,

223
00:09:16,470 --> 00:09:18,470
and His mercy is vast,

224
00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:20,470
encompassing all of His creation,

225
00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:22,470
and He does not avert His might and His punishment

226
00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:24,470
from the people who have committed crimes,

227
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:26,470
having acquired sins

228
00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:28,470
and perpetrated evil deeds."

229
00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:31,080
Those who

230
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,080
associated partners with Allah will say, "If Allah had willed,

231
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,080
we would not have

232
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,080
associated partners, nor would

233
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,080
our fathers,

234
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,080
nor would

235
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,080
our fathers, nor would we have

236
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,080
forbidden

237
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,080
anything." Just as they did,

238
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,080
those who were

239
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,080
before them denied, until

240
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,080
they tasted Our punishment.

241
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,080
Say, "Do you

242
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,080
have any knowledge

243
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,080
that you can bring forth

244
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,080
for us?

245
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,080
You follow

246
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,080
nothing but conjecture,

247
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,080
and you are

248
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,080
doing nothing but lying."

249
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,039
Those who

250
00:10:12,039 --> 00:10:14,039
associated partners with Allah will say,

251
00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:16,039
"If Allah had willed,

252
00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:18,039
we would not have made any partner for Allah,

253
00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:20,039
nor would our fathers have made

254
00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:22,039
that [forbidden] for Him,

255
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:24,039
either by compelling us to believe,

256
00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:26,039
or by being gentle with us

257
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:28,039
through His guidance."

258
00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:30,039
But He was pleased with what we are upon.

259
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:32,039
Just as these people denied,

260
00:10:32,039 --> 00:10:34,039
O you polytheists, O Muhammad,

261
00:10:34,039 --> 00:10:36,039
likewise did those before them deny,

262
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:38,039
from the wicked among the nations,

263
00:10:38,039 --> 00:10:40,039
until they provoked Our wrath,

264
00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:42,039
so We became angry with them,

265
00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:44,039
and We brought down upon them Our punishment,

266
00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:46,070
and they tasted it.

267
00:10:46,070 --> 00:10:48,070
Say, O Muhammad,

268
00:10:48,070 --> 00:10:50,070
"Do you have any knowledge for your claims,

269
00:10:50,070 --> 00:10:52,070
any certainty or proof,

270
00:10:52,070 --> 00:10:54,070
that you can show us

271
00:10:54,070 --> 00:10:56,070
and clarify?

272
00:10:56,070 --> 00:10:58,070
You are only saying what you say,

273
00:10:58,070 --> 00:11:00,070
O you polytheists,

274
00:11:00,070 --> 00:11:02,259
and you are not in all of that

275
00:11:02,259 --> 00:11:04,259
but fabricating

276
00:11:04,259 --> 00:11:06,259
falsehood against Allah,

277
00:11:06,259 --> 00:11:08,259
based on conjecture without certainty."

278
00:11:08,259 --> 00:11:11,000
Say, "To Allah belongs

279
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
the conclusive argument.

280
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
For had He willed,

281
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
He would have guided you

282
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
all."

283
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,480
Say, "To Allah,

284
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,480
who has forbidden you

285
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,480
to associate anything with Him, belongs

286
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,480
the conclusive argument,

287
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,480
which reaches His intended purpose

288
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,480
in its establishment against those who use it as an argument

289
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,480
from among His creation,

290
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,480
and cuts off their excuse

291
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,480
once it reaches them."

292
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,480
For had your Lord willed,

293
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,480
He would have granted you all the success to agree

294
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,480
upon singling Him out in worship

295
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,480
and abandoning the following of the footsteps

296
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,480
of Satan.

297
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,480
But He did not will that,

298
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,480
so He differentiated between His creation

299
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,480
in what He willed for them;

300
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,480
among them is the disbeliever,

301
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,470
and among them is the believer.

302
00:11:58,470 --> 00:12:00,470
And [bring] your witnesses

303
00:12:00,470 --> 00:12:02,470
who testify

304
00:12:02,470 --> 00:12:04,470
that Allah

305
00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:06,470
has forbidden this.

306
00:12:06,470 --> 00:12:08,470
If

307
00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:10,470
they testify, do not testify

308
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:12,470
with them,

309
00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:14,470
and do not follow

310
00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:16,470
the desires of those who

311
00:12:16,470 --> 00:12:18,470
denied Our signs,

312
00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:20,470
and those who do not believe,

313
00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:22,470
and those who

314
00:12:22,470 --> 00:12:24,470
do not believe in the Hereafter,

315
00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:26,470
while they

316
00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:28,470
equate others

317
00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:30,470
with their Lord.

318
00:12:30,470 --> 00:12:33,210
Say to them, O Muhammad,

319
00:12:33,210 --> 00:12:35,210
"Bring

320
00:12:35,210 --> 00:12:37,210
your witnesses who testify

321
00:12:37,210 --> 00:12:39,210
that Allah has forbidden

322
00:12:39,210 --> 00:12:41,210
for you what you claim."

323
00:12:41,210 --> 00:12:43,210
If they bring you witnesses,

324
00:12:43,210 --> 00:12:45,210
do not testify with them,

325
00:12:45,210 --> 00:12:47,210
for they are liars

326
00:12:47,210 --> 00:12:49,210
and false witnesses.

327
00:12:49,210 --> 00:12:51,210
And do not follow the desires of those who

328
00:12:51,210 --> 00:12:53,210
denied Our signs,

329
00:12:53,210 --> 00:12:55,210
and do not follow the desires of those who

330
00:12:55,210 --> 00:12:57,210
do not believe in the Hereafter,

331
00:12:57,210 --> 00:12:59,210
for while they deny the Resurrection,

332
00:12:59,210 --> 00:13:01,210
they equate idols

333
00:13:01,210 --> 00:13:03,210
and statues [with Allah],

334
00:13:03,210 --> 00:13:05,210
making them equal to Him,

335
00:13:05,210 --> 00:13:07,210
and taking them as rivals to Him,

336
00:13:07,210 --> 00:13:09,210
worshipping them instead of Him.

337
00:13:09,210 --> 00:13:12,679
The summary from

338
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,679
the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
