00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.399
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.

00:00:08.589 --> 00:00:14.109
Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari.

00:00:14.109 --> 00:00:18.219
Surah al-An'am.

00:00:18.219 --> 00:00:23.519
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

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)

00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:35.719
"...and trellised..."

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)

00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:50.719
"...and olives and pomegranates, similar..."

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:55.119
"...similar and dissimilar..."

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)

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)

00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.319
"...and do not commit excess..."

00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:12.659
"...Indeed, He does not like those who commit excess."

00:01:12.659 --> 00:01:14.659
Your Lord, O people,

00:01:14.659 --> 00:01:18.859
Has created gardens raised upon trellises made by people,

00:01:18.859 --> 00:01:21.659
And others untrellised, growing directly on the ground;

00:01:21.659 --> 00:01:25.659
Yet Allah causes them to rise, sprout, and grow.

00:01:25.659 --> 00:01:28.859
And He brought forth palm trees and crops of varying produce,

00:01:28.859 --> 00:01:31.260
As well as olives and pomegranates, similar in shape,

00:01:31.260 --> 00:01:33.659
Yet dissimilar in taste;

00:01:33.659 --> 00:01:36.290
For among them are the sweet and the sour.

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)

00:01:38.890 --> 00:01:42.290
"And pay its due on the day of its harvest..."

00:01:42.290 --> 00:01:44.489
And do not commit excess in giving away

00:01:44.489 --> 00:01:48.239
Your wealth to the extent that it harms you.

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)

00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.040
"Eat of what Allah has provided for you..."

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.840
"...and do not follow the footsteps of Satan..."

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:08.349
"...Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy."

00:02:08.349 --> 00:02:10.750
And He brought forth from livestock beasts of burden,

00:02:10.750 --> 00:02:12.949
Such as camels that carry loads,

00:02:12.949 --> 00:02:15.349
And small livestock fit for bedding, which are the young camels

00:02:15.349 --> 00:02:18.550
That have not yet reached the size to carry loads.

00:02:18.550 --> 00:02:20.550
"Eat of what Allah has provided for you..."

00:02:20.550 --> 00:02:22.349
O believers,

00:02:22.349 --> 00:02:25.150
"...and do not follow the footsteps of Satan..."

00:02:25.150 --> 00:02:27.150
Lest you prohibit upon yourselves

00:02:27.150 --> 00:02:29.150
The good provisions Allah has provided,

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)

00:02:31.349 --> 00:02:33.150
For he desires your destruction,

00:02:33.150 --> 00:02:36.849
And he has clearly shown his enmity to you.

00:02:36.849 --> 00:02:40.449
"Eight pairs:"

00:02:40.449 --> 00:02:42.250
"Of the sheep, two..."

00:02:42.250 --> 00:02:45.250
"...and of the goats, two..."

00:02:45.250 --> 00:02:49.250
"Say: 'Is it the two males...'"

00:02:49.250 --> 00:02:53.050
"'...He has forbidden, or the two females...'"

00:02:53.050 --> 00:02:55.449
"'...or the two females...'"

00:02:55.449 --> 00:02:58.250
"'...or that which contains...'"

00:02:58.250 --> 00:03:02.449
"'...the wombs of the two females?'"

00:03:02.449 --> 00:03:04.650
"'Inform me with knowledge...'"

00:03:04.650 --> 00:03:10.889
"'...if you are truthful.'"

00:03:10.889 --> 00:03:12.689
And from livestock We created

00:03:12.689 --> 00:03:14.689
Eight pairs:

00:03:14.689 --> 00:03:15.889
Of the sheep, two,

00:03:15.889 --> 00:03:17.689
And of the goats, two—

00:03:17.689 --> 00:03:19.490
Making a total of four.

00:03:19.490 --> 00:03:21.490
Say to them, O Muhammad:

00:03:21.490 --> 00:03:23.490
"Is it the two males that your Lord..."

00:03:23.490 --> 00:03:25.490
Has forbidden of the sheep and goats?

00:03:25.490 --> 00:03:27.490
If they claim that,

00:03:27.490 --> 00:03:29.490
They have demonstrated their ignorance,

00:03:29.490 --> 00:03:31.490
Because they make use of

00:03:31.490 --> 00:03:33.490
The meat and backs of the males.

00:03:33.490 --> 00:03:35.490
And if they say:

00:03:35.490 --> 00:03:37.490
"Our Lord has forbidden the two females"

00:03:37.490 --> 00:03:39.490
Of the sheep and goats,

00:03:39.490 --> 00:03:41.490
In that lies a refutation of their claim,

00:03:41.490 --> 00:03:43.490
Because they make use of

00:03:43.490 --> 00:03:45.490
The meat and backs of some of those females.

00:03:45.490 --> 00:03:47.490
And if they say:

00:03:47.490 --> 00:03:49.490
"Our Lord has forbidden..."

00:03:49.490 --> 00:03:51.490
"...that which the wombs of the two females contained,"

00:03:51.490 --> 00:03:53.490
Their argument is invalidated,

00:03:53.490 --> 00:03:55.490
Because they make use of

00:03:55.490 --> 00:03:57.490
Some of their males and females.

00:03:57.490 --> 00:03:59.490
Say to them, O Muhammad:

00:03:59.490 --> 00:04:01.490
"Inform me"

00:04:01.490 --> 00:04:03.490
With actual knowledge as to which of these

00:04:03.490 --> 00:04:05.490
Your Lord has forbidden to you,

00:04:05.490 --> 00:04:08.219
"If you are truthful."

00:04:08.219 --> 00:04:10.219
"And of the camels, two..."

00:04:10.219 --> 00:04:12.219
"...and of the cattle, two..."

00:04:12.219 --> 00:04:14.219
"Say: 'Is it the two males...'"

00:04:14.219 --> 00:04:17.279
"...He has forbidden..."

00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.279
"...or the two females..."

00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.279
"...or the two females..."

00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:23.279
"...or..."

00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.279
"...the two females..."

00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.279
"...or..."

00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.279
"...that which contained..."

00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.279
"...the wombs of the two females?..."

00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.279
"...Or..."

00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.279
"...were you witnesses..."

00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.279
"...when..."

00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.279
"...Allah enjoined this upon you?'..."

00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.279
"...So who is more unjust..."

00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.279
"...than one who invents..."

00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.279
"...a lie against Allah..."

00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.279
"...to mislead the people..."

00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.279
"...without knowledge?..."

00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.279
"...Indeed, Allah does not..."

00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.279
"...guide the wrongdoing people."

00:04:55.980 --> 00:04:57.980
"And of the camels, two..."

00:04:57.980 --> 00:04:59.980
"...and of the cattle, two..."

00:04:59.980 --> 00:05:01.980
These make four pairs.

00:05:01.980 --> 00:05:03.980
"Say: 'Is it the two males..."

00:05:03.980 --> 00:05:05.980
"...He has forbidden, or the two females..."

00:05:05.980 --> 00:05:07.980
"...or that which contained..."

00:05:07.980 --> 00:05:09.980
"...the wombs of the two females?'"

00:05:09.980 --> 00:05:11.980
Say to them, O Muhammad:

00:05:11.980 --> 00:05:13.980
"Did you speak based on knowledge that Allah..."

00:05:13.980 --> 00:05:15.980
Forbidden this—did He inform you of it,

00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:17.980
Or did His Messenger inform you?

00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:19.980
Or were you present before your Lord

00:05:19.980 --> 00:05:21.980
When He enjoined this upon you?

00:05:21.980 --> 00:05:23.980
For this which

00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:25.980
You claim cannot be known

00:05:25.980 --> 00:05:27.980
Except through divine revelation.

00:05:27.980 --> 00:05:29.980
Who, then, is more unjust to himself

00:05:29.980 --> 00:05:31.980
And further from the truth

00:05:31.980 --> 00:05:33.980
Than one who fabricates lies against Allah

00:05:33.980 --> 00:05:35.980
To turn people away from His path?

00:05:35.980 --> 00:05:37.980
Indeed, Allah does not guide to righteousness

00:05:37.980 --> 00:05:39.980
Anyone who fabricates falsehood and lies.

00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:42.560
"Say: 'I do not find...'"

00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.560
"'...in that which has been revealed to me...'"

00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.560
"'...anything forbidden to an eater...'"

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:48.560
"'...who eats it...'"

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.560
"'...unless it be...'"

00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.560
"'...carrion...'"

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:54.560
"'...unless it be...'"

00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.560
"'...carrion, or spilled...'"

00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:58.560
"'...blood, or the flesh...'"

00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.560
"'...of swine...'"

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.560
"'...or the flesh of swine...'"

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.560
"'...for indeed, it is...'"

00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.560
"'...an abomination; or an impious offering...'"

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.560
"'...or an impious offering...'"

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.560
"'...dedicated to other than Allah.'..."

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.560
"'...But whoever is forced by necessity...'"

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.560
"'...without desiring it...'"

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.560
"'...nor transgressing...'"

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:20.560
"'...then indeed, your Lord is...'"

00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:22.560
"'...Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'"

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.040
Say, O Muhammad,

00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.040
To these people: "I do not find

00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.040
In that which has been revealed to me of His Book

00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.040
Anything forbidden to

00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.040
An eater who eats it

00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.040
Among the things you claim He forbidden

00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.040
Of these livestock—

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)

00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.040
Except for carrion, or spilled blood that flows,

00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.040
Or the flesh of

00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.040
Swine, for it is impure

00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.040
And filthy;

00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.040
Or an animal slaughtered

00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:51.040
By the polytheists, the idolaters,

00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.040
Over which the name of an idol was invoked."

00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.040
"But whoever is forced by necessity"

00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.040
To eat what Allah has forbidden,

00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.040
Without desiring to eat it for pleasure,

00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.040
Nor seeking enjoyment in it,

00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.040
Nor transgressing in his eating by exceeding

00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.040
The limit Allah set

00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:07.040
That permitted it to him,

00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.040
Then there is no sin upon him

00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:11.040
In what he has done of that.

00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.040
For He conceals his fault by withholding

00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.040
Punishment for it,

00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.040
And He is Most Merciful in allowing

00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.040
Him to eat that in his time of need.

00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.040
Had He willed,

00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.040
He could have forbidden it to him and withheld

00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.779
It from him.

00:07:39.779 --> 00:07:41.779
"...or joined to a bone.

00:07:41.779 --> 00:07:43.779
Thus did We recompense them

00:07:43.779 --> 00:07:45.779
For their transgression,

00:07:45.779 --> 00:07:47.779
And indeed, We

00:07:47.779 --> 00:07:49.779
Are truthful."

00:07:51.779 --> 00:07:54.129
"And unto those who are Jews We forbade

00:07:54.129 --> 00:07:56.129
Every animal with undivided hoofs—among beasts

00:07:56.129 --> 00:07:58.129
And birds;"

00:07:58.129 --> 00:08:00.129
Namely, that which does not have cloven

00:08:00.129 --> 00:08:02.129
Toes, such as camels, ostriches,

00:08:02.129 --> 00:08:04.129
Geese, and ducks.

00:08:04.129 --> 00:08:06.129
"And We forbade unto the Jews

00:08:06.129 --> 00:08:08.129
Of cattle and sheep their fat,

00:08:08.129 --> 00:08:10.129
Except the fat of the flanks,

00:08:10.129 --> 00:08:12.129
Or what is attached to the back,"

00:08:12.129 --> 00:08:14.129
Such as the tail fat.

00:08:14.129 --> 00:08:16.129
Likewise, He did not forbid

00:08:16.129 --> 00:08:18.129
What is attached to the entrails,

00:08:18.129 --> 00:08:20.129
Which are the small intestines,

00:08:20.129 --> 00:08:22.129
Nor what is mixed with bone,

00:08:22.129 --> 00:08:24.129
Such as the fat of the tail fat, what is in the limbs,

00:08:24.129 --> 00:08:26.129
The flanks, and the head;

00:08:26.129 --> 00:08:28.129
Whatever is mixed

00:08:28.129 --> 00:08:30.129
With bone is lawful.

00:08:30.129 --> 00:08:32.129
"That is what We recompensed them with"

00:08:32.129 --> 00:08:34.129
By way of punishment for them,

00:08:34.129 --> 00:08:36.129
"And indeed, We are truthful"

00:08:36.129 --> 00:08:38.129
In this report of Ours concerning these

00:08:38.129 --> 00:08:40.129
Jews and what We forbade

00:08:40.129 --> 00:08:42.129
To them, whereas they are the liars

00:08:42.129 --> 00:08:44.129
In their claim,

00:08:44.129 --> 00:08:46.129
that this was only forbidden

00:08:46.129 --> 00:08:48.769
by Israel [Jacob] upon himself.

00:08:48.769 --> 00:08:50.769
If they deny you,

00:08:50.769 --> 00:08:52.769
then say, "Your Lord

00:08:52.769 --> 00:08:54.769
is possessed of mercy

00:08:54.769 --> 00:08:56.769
that is vast."

00:08:56.769 --> 00:08:58.769
Say, "Your Lord

00:08:58.769 --> 00:09:00.769
is possessed of vast mercy,

00:09:00.769 --> 00:09:02.769
and He does not avert

00:09:02.769 --> 00:09:04.769
His punishment from the people [who are guilty]."

00:09:05.769 --> 00:09:08.470
If these Jews deny you, O Muhammad,

00:09:08.470 --> 00:09:10.470
[peace be upon him],

00:09:10.470 --> 00:09:12.470
then say, "Your Lord

00:09:12.470 --> 00:09:14.470
is possessed of mercy toward us

00:09:14.470 --> 00:09:16.470
and toward whoever is a believer,

00:09:16.470 --> 00:09:18.470
and His mercy is vast,

00:09:18.470 --> 00:09:20.470
encompassing all of His creation,

00:09:20.470 --> 00:09:22.470
and He does not avert His might and His punishment

00:09:22.470 --> 00:09:24.470
from the people who have committed crimes,

00:09:24.470 --> 00:09:26.470
having acquired sins

00:09:26.470 --> 00:09:28.470
and perpetrated evil deeds."

00:09:28.470 --> 00:09:31.080
Those who

00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.080
associated partners with Allah will say, "If Allah had willed,

00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.080
we would not have

00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.080
associated partners, nor would

00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.080
our fathers,

00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.080
nor would

00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.080
our fathers, nor would we have

00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.080
forbidden

00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:47.080
anything." Just as they did,

00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.080
those who were

00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.080
before them denied, until

00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.080
they tasted Our punishment.

00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:55.080
Say, "Do you

00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.080
have any knowledge

00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.080
that you can bring forth

00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:01.080
for us?

00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.080
You follow

00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.080
nothing but conjecture,

00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.080
and you are

00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.080
doing nothing but lying."

00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:12.039
Those who

00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.039
associated partners with Allah will say,

00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.039
"If Allah had willed,

00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.039
we would not have made any partner for Allah,

00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.039
nor would our fathers have made

00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.039
that [forbidden] for Him,

00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.039
either by compelling us to believe,

00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.039
or by being gentle with us

00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.039
through His guidance."

00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.039
But He was pleased with what we are upon.

00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.039
Just as these people denied,

00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:34.039
O you polytheists, O Muhammad,

00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.039
likewise did those before them deny,

00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.039
from the wicked among the nations,

00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.039
until they provoked Our wrath,

00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:42.039
so We became angry with them,

00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.039
and We brought down upon them Our punishment,

00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.070
and they tasted it.

00:10:46.070 --> 00:10:48.070
Say, O Muhammad,

00:10:48.070 --> 00:10:50.070
"Do you have any knowledge for your claims,

00:10:50.070 --> 00:10:52.070
any certainty or proof,

00:10:52.070 --> 00:10:54.070
that you can show us

00:10:54.070 --> 00:10:56.070
and clarify?

00:10:56.070 --> 00:10:58.070
You are only saying what you say,

00:10:58.070 --> 00:11:00.070
O you polytheists,

00:11:00.070 --> 00:11:02.259
and you are not in all of that

00:11:02.259 --> 00:11:04.259
but fabricating

00:11:04.259 --> 00:11:06.259
falsehood against Allah,

00:11:06.259 --> 00:11:08.259
based on conjecture without certainty."

00:11:08.259 --> 00:11:11.000
Say, "To Allah belongs

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.000
the conclusive argument.

00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.000
For had He willed,

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.000
He would have guided you

00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.000
all."

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.480
Say, "To Allah,

00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.480
who has forbidden you

00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:25.480
to associate anything with Him, belongs

00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:27.480
the conclusive argument,

00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.480
which reaches His intended purpose

00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:31.480
in its establishment against those who use it as an argument

00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.480
from among His creation,

00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.480
and cuts off their excuse

00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.480
once it reaches them."

00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.480
For had your Lord willed,

00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.480
He would have granted you all the success to agree

00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.480
upon singling Him out in worship

00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:45.480
and abandoning the following of the footsteps

00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:47.480
of Satan.

00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:49.480
But He did not will that,

00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:51.480
so He differentiated between His creation

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.480
in what He willed for them;

00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:55.480
among them is the disbeliever,

00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.470
and among them is the believer.

00:11:58.470 --> 00:12:00.470
And [bring] your witnesses

00:12:00.470 --> 00:12:02.470
who testify

00:12:02.470 --> 00:12:04.470
that Allah

00:12:04.470 --> 00:12:06.470
has forbidden this.

00:12:06.470 --> 00:12:08.470
If

00:12:08.470 --> 00:12:10.470
they testify, do not testify

00:12:10.470 --> 00:12:12.470
with them,

00:12:12.470 --> 00:12:14.470
and do not follow

00:12:14.470 --> 00:12:16.470
the desires of those who

00:12:16.470 --> 00:12:18.470
denied Our signs,

00:12:18.470 --> 00:12:20.470
and those who do not believe,

00:12:20.470 --> 00:12:22.470
and those who

00:12:22.470 --> 00:12:24.470
do not believe in the Hereafter,

00:12:24.470 --> 00:12:26.470
while they

00:12:26.470 --> 00:12:28.470
equate others

00:12:28.470 --> 00:12:30.470
with their Lord.

00:12:30.470 --> 00:12:33.210
Say to them, O Muhammad,

00:12:33.210 --> 00:12:35.210
"Bring

00:12:35.210 --> 00:12:37.210
your witnesses who testify

00:12:37.210 --> 00:12:39.210
that Allah has forbidden

00:12:39.210 --> 00:12:41.210
for you what you claim."

00:12:41.210 --> 00:12:43.210
If they bring you witnesses,

00:12:43.210 --> 00:12:45.210
do not testify with them,

00:12:45.210 --> 00:12:47.210
for they are liars

00:12:47.210 --> 00:12:49.210
and false witnesses.

00:12:49.210 --> 00:12:51.210
And do not follow the desires of those who

00:12:51.210 --> 00:12:53.210
denied Our signs,

00:12:53.210 --> 00:12:55.210
and do not follow the desires of those who

00:12:55.210 --> 00:12:57.210
do not believe in the Hereafter,

00:12:57.210 --> 00:12:59.210
for while they deny the Resurrection,

00:12:59.210 --> 00:13:01.210
they equate idols

00:13:01.210 --> 00:13:03.210
and statues [with Allah],

00:13:03.210 --> 00:13:05.210
making them equal to Him,

00:13:05.210 --> 00:13:07.210
and taking them as rivals to Him,

00:13:07.210 --> 00:13:09.210
worshipping them instead of Him.

00:13:09.210 --> 00:13:12.679
The summary from

00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:14.679
the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
