00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200
In the Name of Allah, the entirely Merciful, the especially Merciful.

00:00:05.169 --> 00:00:08.070
The Summary of Tafsir al-Tabari,

00:00:08.589 --> 00:00:12.689
Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil Ibn Salim al-Shammari.

00:00:14.369 --> 00:00:16.269
Surah an-Nisa'.

00:00:18.269 --> 00:00:22.570
In the Name of Allah, the entirely Merciful, the especially Merciful.

00:00:23.260 --> 00:00:30.260
“Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (4:100)

00:00:30.660 --> 00:00:36.960
﴾...will find on the earth many places of refuge and abundance.﴿

00:00:37.460 --> 00:00:44.659
“Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (4:100)

00:00:45.259 --> 00:00:51.659
“Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (4:100)

00:00:51.859 --> 00:00:59.479
“Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (4:100)

00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.679
﴾And Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.﴿

00:01:05.180 --> 00:01:10.980
Whoever departs from the land of polytheism to the land of Islam, following the path and methodology of Allah's religion,

00:01:11.379 --> 00:01:15.579
this emigrant for the cause of Allah will find many places of refuge and escape,

00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:18.579
meaning vast spaces to move about in the land and diverse ways out.

00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:22.980
He will also find abundance in matters of his faith, abundance in sustenance,

00:01:23.379 --> 00:01:27.980
and relief from the constriction of distress, among other meanings of ample ease.

00:01:28.579 --> 00:01:30.780
Thus he earns the reward for his emigration.

00:01:31.180 --> 00:01:35.780
And Allah has ever been concealing the sins of His believing servants through pardon,

00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:38.180
being Merciful and gentle with them.

00:01:39.390 --> 00:01:47.590
“And when ye go forth in the land, it is no sin for you to curtail (your) worship if ye fear that those who disbelieve may attack you. In truth the disbelievers are an open enemy to you.” (4:101)

00:01:47.590 --> 00:01:54.989
“And when ye go forth in the land, it is no sin for you to curtail (your) worship if ye fear that those who disbelieve may attack you. In truth the disbelievers are an open enemy to you.” (4:101)

00:01:55.390 --> 00:02:02.790
“And when ye go forth in the land, it is no sin for you to curtail (your) worship if ye fear that those who disbelieve may attack you. In truth the disbelievers are an open enemy to you.” (4:101)

00:02:04.170 --> 00:02:06.969
"And when you travel throughout the land, O believers,

00:02:07.370 --> 00:02:10.569
there is no blame upon you for shortening the prayer,"

00:02:10.969 --> 00:02:12.370
meaning reducing its prescribed limits,

00:02:12.770 --> 00:02:15.569
by not performing its bowings and prostrations in the usual complete manner,

00:02:15.969 --> 00:02:19.569
and being permitted to perform it in whatever way is possible,

00:02:20.169 --> 00:02:24.169
"if you fear that the disbelievers may attack you during your prayer."

00:02:24.969 --> 00:02:29.370
Their attacking them refers to launching an assault against them while they are prostrating,

00:02:29.969 --> 00:02:32.370
so that they might kill them or take them captive,

00:02:32.969 --> 00:02:35.770
thereby preventing them from establishing and performing it,

00:02:36.569 --> 00:02:41.169
and coming between them and the worship of Allah and the sincere devotion to His oneness.

00:02:41.969 --> 00:02:45.969
Indeed, those who deny the oneness of Allah have ever been an enemy to you,

00:02:46.569 --> 00:02:48.770
having made their enmity toward you plain and clear.

00:02:50.370 --> 00:02:55.569
“And when thou (O Muhammad) art among them and arrangest (their) worship for them, let only a party of them stand with thee (to worship) and let them take their arms. Then when they have performed their prostrations let them fall to the rear and let another party come that hath not worshipped and let them worship with thee, and let them take their precaution and their arms. Those who disbelieve long for you to neglect your arms and your baggage that they may attack you once for all. It is no sin for you to lay aside your arms, if rain impedeth you or ye are sick. But take your precaution. Lo! Allah prepareth for the disbelievers shameful punishment.” (4:102)

00:02:55.770 --> 00:03:01.169
﴾...let a party of them stand with you,﴿

00:03:01.569 --> 00:03:07.569
﴾...let a party of them stand with you,﴿

00:03:07.770 --> 00:03:10.569
﴾and let them take their weapons.﴿

00:03:10.969 --> 00:03:16.169
“And when thou (O Muhammad) art among them and arrangest (their) worship for them, let only a party of them stand with thee (to worship) and let them take their arms. Then when they have performed their prostrations let them fall to the rear and let another party come that hath not worshipped and let them worship with thee, and let them take their precaution and their arms.

But take your precaution. Lo! Allah prepareth for the disbelievers shameful punishment.” (4:102)

00:03:16.169 --> 00:03:20.370
﴾...and let another party come forward...﴿

00:03:24.770 --> 00:03:30.370
“And when thou (O Muhammad) art among them and arrangest (their) worship for them, let only a party of them stand with thee (to worship) and let them take their arms. Then when they have performed their prostrations let them fall to the rear and let another party come that hath not worshipped and let them worship with thee, and let them take their precaution and their arms.

00:03:30.569 --> 00:03:34.370
﴾and let them take their precautions and their weapons.﴿

00:03:34.770 --> 00:03:38.169
“And when thou (O Muhammad) art among them and arrangest (their) worship for them, let only a party of them stand with thee (to worship) and let them take their arms. Then when they have performed their prostrations let them fall to the rear and let another party come that hath not worshipped and let them worship with thee, and let them take their precaution and their arms.

00:03:38.370 --> 00:03:41.370
﴾...of your weapons and your baggage...﴿

00:03:41.370 --> 00:03:50.169
“And when thou (O Muhammad) art among them and arrangest (their) worship for them, let only a party of them stand with thee (to worship) and let them take their arms. Then when they have performed their prostrations let them fall to the rear and let another party come that hath not worshipped and let them worship with thee, and let them take their precaution and their arms.

00:03:50.569 --> 00:04:01.370
“And when thou (O Muhammad) art among them and arrangest (their) worship for them, let only a party of them stand with thee (to worship) and let them take their arms.
