WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.160 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:05.190 --> 00:00:08.089 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari. 00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:12.820 Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari. 00:00:12.820 --> 00:00:16.570 Surah al-Mujadilah. 00:00:18.210 --> 00:00:22.850 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:22.850 --> 00:00:28.570 “Allah hath heard the saying of her that disputeth with thee (Muhammad) concerning her husband, and complaineth unto Allah. And Allah heareth your colloquy. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.” (58:1) 00:00:28.570 --> 00:00:31.570 And she complains to Allah. 00:00:31.570 --> 00:00:34.570 And she complains to Allah. 00:00:34.570 --> 00:00:38.570 And Allah hears your dialogue. 00:00:38.570 --> 00:00:44.570 Indeed, Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. 00:00:44.570 --> 00:00:50.310 Allah has indeed heard, O Muhammad, the speech of the woman who argues with you concerning her husband. 00:00:50.310 --> 00:00:56.340 She who was arguing with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, regarding her husband. 00:00:56.340 --> 00:00:58.340 She was a woman from the Ansar. 00:00:58.340 --> 00:01:05.340 Her argument with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, concerned her husband, Aws ibn al-Samit. 00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:08.340 It was her questioning him regarding his conduct toward her. 00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:10.340 And what he had said to her. 00:01:10.340 --> 00:01:13.340 "You are to me like the back of my mother." 00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:16.340 And her dialogue with him concerning that. 00:01:16.340 --> 00:01:19.340 The woman who was arguing was complaining of the distress she felt. 00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:22.340 Due to her husband’s zihar (declaring her unlawful like his mother) toward her, she complained to Allah. 00:01:22.340 --> 00:01:25.340 And she asked Him for relief. 00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:29.340 And Allah hears the dialogue of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:33.340 The woman who was arguing was Khawlah bint Tha'labah. 00:01:33.340 --> 00:01:40.340 Indeed, Allah is All-Hearing of what you both exchange and discuss, as well as all other speech of His creation. 00:01:40.340 --> 00:01:44.340 All-Seeing of what you do and what all His servants do. 00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:56.489 “Such of you as put away your wives (by saying they are as their mothers) - They are not their mothers; none are their mothers except those who gave them birth - they indeed utter an ill word and a lie. And lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (58:2) 00:01:56.489 --> 00:02:03.489 Their mothers are none but those who gave birth to them. 00:02:03.489 --> 00:02:11.490 “Such of you as put away your wives (by saying they are as their mothers) - They are not their mothers; none are their mothers except those who gave them birth - they indeed utter an ill word and a lie. And lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (58:2) 00:02:11.490 --> 00:02:17.490 And indeed, Allah is Pardoning and Forgiving. 00:02:17.490 --> 00:02:21.319 Those who declare their wives unlawful to themselves. 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:25.319 Allah has not made their mothers' backs unlawful to them. 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:30.319 Yet they say to them, "You are to us like the backs of our mothers." 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.319 That was how a man would divorce his wife during the pre-Islamic era (Jahiliyyah). 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:40.419 Their wives, whom they compare to their mothers, are not truly their mothers. 00:02:40.419 --> 00:02:42.419 Rather, they remain lawful for them. 00:02:42.419 --> 00:02:45.419 Those to whom they said that. 00:02:45.419 --> 00:02:51.419 And indeed, the men say a reprehensible statement that has no basis in truth, and a lie. 00:02:51.419 --> 00:02:55.419 Indeed, Allah is Pardoning and forgiving of the sins of His servants. 00:02:55.419 --> 00:02:58.419 If they repent from them and turn back to Him. 00:02:58.419 --> 00:03:02.419 He is Forgiving, so He will not punish them for it after repentance. 00:03:02.419 --> 00:03:08.479 “Those who put away their wives (by saying they are as their mothers) and afterward would go back on that which they have said, (the penalty) in that case (is) the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. Unto this ye are exhorted; and Allah is Informed of what ye do.” (58:3) 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:15.479 “Those who put away their wives (by saying they are as their mothers) and afterward would go back on that which they have said, (the penalty) in that case (is) the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. Unto this ye are exhorted; and Allah is Informed of what ye do.” (58:3) 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:23.479 Then [the expiation is] the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.479 That is what you are admonished with. 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:31.479 And Allah is All-Aware of what you do. 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.280 And those who say to their wives. 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.280 "You are to me like the back of my mother." 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:44.280 Then they seek to make lawful what they had forbidden to themselves, which Allah has made lawful for them. 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:48.280 Then upon them is the freeing of a slave, male or female. 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:55.280 Before the man who performed zihar touches his wife, whom he declared unlawful, or she touches him. 00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.280 Your Lord has obligated this upon you as an admonition for you to take heed. 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.280 So that you may desist from zihar and false speech. 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.280 And Allah, regarding the deeds you perform. 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:12.280 O people, is All-Aware; nothing of them is hidden from Him. 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.280 And He will recompense you for them. 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.949 So desist from reprehensible and false speech. 00:04:18.949 --> 00:04:28.949 Whoever cannot find [a slave] must fast for two consecutive months before they touch one another. 00:04:28.949 --> 00:04:34.949 “And he who findeth not (the wherewithal), let him fast for two successive months before they touch one another; and for him who is unable to do so (the penance is) the feeding of sixty needy ones. This, that ye may put trust in Allah and His messenger. Such are the limits (imposed by Allah); and for disbelievers is a painful doom.” (58:4) 00:04:34.949 --> 00:04:42.949 “And he who findeth not (the wherewithal), let him fast for two successive months before they touch one another; and for him who is unable to do so (the penance is) the feeding of sixty needy ones. This, that ye may put trust in Allah and His messenger. Such are the limits (imposed by Allah); and for disbelievers is a painful doom.” (58:4) 00:04:42.949 --> 00:04:47.949 And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment. 00:04:49.939 --> 00:04:54.939 Whoever among you who has performed zihar upon his wife and cannot find a slave to free. 00:04:54.939 --> 00:05:00.939 “And he who findeth not (the wherewithal), let him fast for two successive months before they touch one another; and for him who is unable to do so (the penance is) the feeding of sixty needy ones. This, that ye may put trust in Allah and His messenger. Such are the limits (imposed by Allah); and for disbelievers is a painful doom.” (58:4) 00:05:00.939 --> 00:05:10.040 The two consecutive months are those in which there is no break by eating during the day, except for a valid excuse. 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:16.040 Whoever among you is unable to fast, then he must feed sixty poor persons. 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:22.040 This is what I have obligated upon those of you who perform zihar, in the event that you are capable of freeing a slave. 00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:25.040 Then I have lightened it for him, in case of inability, by fasting. 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:29.040 And in case of inability to fast, by feeding [the poor]. 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:37.040 I have only done this so that people may affirm the oneness of Allah and the message of the Messenger, Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:43.040 And that they may believe in it, act upon it, and desist from false and lying speech. 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:53.040 These are the limits set by Allah for you, and the obligations He has clarified for you; so do not transgress them, O people. 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.040 And for those who disbelieve in them is a painful punishment. 00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:20.000 “Lo! those who oppose Allah and His messenger will be abased even as those before them were abased; and We have sent down clear tokens, and for disbelievers is a shameful doom” (58:5) 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:26.000 And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment. 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:34.399 Indeed, those who oppose Allah regarding His limits and obligations, and set limits other than His. 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.399 That is the opposition to Allah and His Messenger. 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:46.399 They shall be humiliated and disgraced just as those before them were humiliated and disgraced—those nations who opposed Allah and His Messenger. 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:51.399 We have sent down clear proofs and decisive signs. 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.399 Which point to the truths of Allah's limits. 00:06:54.399 --> 00:07:03.399 And for those who reject these clear signs that We have sent down to Our Messenger Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and those who deny them. 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:07.399 There is a humiliating punishment on the Day of Resurrection in Hell. 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:17.779 “On the day when Allah will raise them all together and inform them of what they did. Allah hath kept account of it while they forgot it. And Allah is Witness over all things.” (58:6) 00:07:17.779 --> 00:07:21.779 Allah has recorded it, while they have forgotten it. 00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:28.779 And Allah is Witness over all things. 00:07:28.779 --> 00:07:37.480 And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment on the day Allah resurrects them all from their graves for the standing of the Resurrection. 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.480 Then Allah will inform them of what they did. 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:45.480 Allah has recorded what they did, counted it against them, established it, and preserved it. 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.480 While those who did it have forgotten it. 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:53.639 And Allah—may His majesty be exalted—over everything they have done, and all other matters of His creation. 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.639 Is a Witness; He knows it and encompasses it. 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.639 Nothing of it escapes Him. 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:07.889 “Hast thou not seen that Allah knoweth all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth? There is no secret conference of three but He is their fourth, nor of five but He is their sixth, nor of less than that or more but He is with them wheresoever they may be; and afterward, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of what they did. Lo! Allah is Knower of all things.” (58:7) 00:08:07.889 --> 00:08:17.889 “Hast thou not seen that Allah knoweth all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth? There is no secret conference of three but He is their fourth, nor of five but He is their sixth, nor of less than that or more but He is with them wheresoever they may be; and afterward, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of what they did. Lo! Allah is Knower of all things.” (58:7) 00:08:17.889 --> 00:08:31.889 “Hast thou not seen that Allah knoweth all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth? There is no secret conference of three but He is their fourth, nor of five but He is their sixth, nor of less than that or more but He is with them wheresoever they may be; and afterward, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of what they did. Lo! Allah is Knower of all things.” (58:7) 00:08:31.889 --> 00:08:46.240 “Hast thou not seen that Allah knoweth all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth? There is no secret conference of three but He is their fourth, nor of five but He is their sixth, nor of less than that or more but He is with them wheresoever they may be; and afterward, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of what they did. Lo! Allah is Knower of all things.” (58:7) 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.519 Do you not consider, O Muhammad, with the eye of your heart? 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:55.519 That you see that Allah knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.519 Nothing of it is hidden from Him, whether small or great. 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:06.519 So how could the deeds of these disbelievers and their disobedience to their Lord be hidden from One whose attribute is this? 00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:12.519 Then He—may His majesty be exalted—described His nearness to His servants and His hearing of their private conversations. 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.519 And what people conceal of their speech. 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.519 Which they discuss secretly among themselves. 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:24.519 He said: There is no private conversation of three of His creation but He is the fourth of them. 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.519 Meaning that He is watching them with His knowledge. 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:31.519 While He is upon His Throne, hearing their secrets and private conversations. 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.519 Nothing of their secrets is hidden from Him. 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:39.519 Nor is there any private conversation of five but He is the sixth of them, likewise. 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:47.519 Nor is there any number less than three or more than five but He is with them when they converse privately. 00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:50.519 In whatever place or location they may be. 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.519 Then He will inform those who conversed privately, and others. 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:59.519 Of what they did—of deeds that He loves and deeds that He dislikes—on the Day of Resurrection. 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:03.519 Indeed, Allah, regarding their private conversations, their secrets, and the hidden aspects of their deeds. 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:08.519 And all other matters of theirs and the matters of His servants, is All-Knowing. 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:14.480 Have you not seen those who were forbidden from private conversation? 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:23.480 Then they return to what they were forbidden from. 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:29.480 And they converse privately about sin, aggression, and disobedience to the Messenger. 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:36.480 “Hast thou not observed those who were forbidden conspiracy and afterward returned to that which they had been forbidden, and (now) conspire together for crime and wrongdoing and disobedience toward the messenger? And when they come unto thee they greet thee with a greeting wherewith Allah greeteth thee not, and say within themselves: Why should Allah punish us for what we say? Hell will suffice them; they will feel the heat thereof - a hapless journey's end!” (58:8) 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:41.480 And they say to themselves. 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.480 “Hast thou not observed those who were forbidden conspiracy and afterward returned to that which they had been forbidden, and (now) conspire together for crime and wrongdoing and disobedience toward the messenger? And when they come unto thee they greet thee with a greeting wherewith Allah greeteth thee not, and say within themselves: Why should Allah punish us for what we say? Hell will suffice them; they will feel the heat thereof - a hapless journey's end!” (58:8) 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:55.480 “Hast thou not observed those who were forbidden conspiracy and afterward returned to that which they had been forbidden, and (now) conspire together for crime and wrongdoing and disobedience toward the messenger? And when they come unto thee they greet thee with a greeting wherewith Allah greeteth thee not, and say within themselves: Why should Allah punish us for what we say? Hell will suffice them; they will feel the heat thereof - a hapless journey's end!” (58:8) 00:10:55.480 --> 00:11:01.480 Have you not seen those who were forbidden from private conversation—the Jews—then they return? 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.480 Allah—the Mighty and Majestic—has indeed forbidden them from it. 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:10.480 And they converse privately among themselves about sin, aggression, and disobedience to the Messenger. 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:14.480 Then they return to the private conversation they were forbidden from. 00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:19.480 And they converse privately about what Allah has forbidden them of immorality and aggression. 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:25.480 That is contrary to the command of Allah and is disobedience to the Messenger, Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:30.480 And when they come to you, O Muhammad—those who were forbidden from private conversation. 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:35.480 They greet you with a greeting other than that which Allah has made for you as a greeting. 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:41.480 Their greeting with which they used to greet you was that they would say. 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.480 "Al-sam 'alaykum" (Death be upon you). 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:47.480 And those who greet you with this greeting among the Jews say. 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:53.480 "Why does Allah not punish us for what we say to Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him?" 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.480 "So that He hastens His punishment upon us for that." 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.600 Sufficient for the one who says that, O Muhammad, is Hell. 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:03.600 It is sufficient for them; they will enter it on the Day of Resurrection. 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:06.600 And wretched is the destination, Hell. 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:11.470 “O ye who believe! When ye conspire together, conspire not together for crime and wrongdoing and disobedience toward the messenger, but conspire together for righteousness and piety, and keep your duty toward Allah, unto whom ye will be gathered.” (58:9) 00:12:11.470 --> 00:12:24.470 So do not converse privately about sin, aggression, and disobedience to the Messenger. 00:12:24.470 --> 00:12:27.470 But converse privately about righteousness and piety. 00:12:27.470 --> 00:12:32.470 And fear Allah, to whom you will be gathered. 00:12:32.470 --> 00:12:37.429 O you who have believed in Allah and His Messenger. 00:12:37.429 --> 00:12:43.429 When you converse privately among yourselves, do not converse about sin, aggression, and disobedience to the Messenger. 00:12:43.429 --> 00:12:48.429 But converse privately about the obedience of Allah and what brings you closer to Him. 00:12:48.429 --> 00:12:54.429 And by fearing Him through performing the obligations He has charged you with and avoiding His prohibitions. 00:12:54.429 --> 00:12:57.429 And fear Allah, to whom is your final return. 00:12:57.429 --> 00:13:01.429 And with Him is your gathering regarding the neglect of His obligations. 00:13:01.429 --> 00:13:07.429 And the persistence in His disobedience, that He will punish you for it when you return to Him. 00:13:07.429 --> 00:13:19.549 “Lo! Conspiracy is only of the devil, that he may vex those who believe; but he can harm them not at all unless by Allah's leave. In Allah let believers put their trust.” (58:10) 00:13:19.549 --> 00:13:26.769 “Lo! Conspiracy is only of the devil, that he may vex those who believe; but he can harm them not at all unless by Allah's leave. In Allah let believers put their trust.” (58:10) 00:13:26.769 --> 00:13:32.769 And upon Allah let the believers rely. 00:13:32.769 --> 00:13:38.700 Private conversation among the hypocrites is only from Satan. 00:13:38.700 --> 00:13:42.700 That used to anger the believers and weigh heavily upon them. 00:13:42.700 --> 00:13:48.700 And private conversation does not harm the believers at all, except by the decree and predestination of Allah. 00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:53.700 And upon Allah let the people of faith in Him rely in their affairs. 00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:58.700 And let them not be saddened by the private conversation of the hypocrites and their plotting against them. 00:13:58.700 --> 00:14:03.700 And that their private conversation does not harm them if their Lord protects them. 00:14:24.470 --> 00:14:33.470 “O ye who believe! when it is said unto you, Make room! in assemblies, then make room; Allah will make way for you (hereafter). And when it is said, Come up higher! go up higher; Allah will exalt those who believe among you, and those who have knowledge, to high ranks. Allah is Informed of what ye do.” (58:11) 00:14:33.470 --> 00:14:38.470 And Allah is All-Aware of what you do. 00:14:38.470 --> 00:14:43.360 O you who have believed in Allah and His Messenger. 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.360 When it is said to you, "Make space in the assemblies." 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:51.360 The assembly of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and the assembly of battle. 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:54.360 Both places are called an assembly. 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.399 Make space, and Allah will make space for you in Paradise. 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:05.399 And when it is said, "Rise up," and you rise to fight an enemy, or for prayer, or for a good deed. 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.399 Or disperse from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.399 Then rise. 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.399 Allah will raise those who have believed among you, O people, by their obedience to their Lord. 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:21.399 And Allah will raise those who have been given knowledge among the people of faith by the virtue of their knowledge. 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:24.399 [By] degrees, if they act upon what they have been commanded. 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:28.399 And Allah, regarding your deeds, O people, is All-Aware. 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:32.399 The obedient among you to his Lord is not hidden from Him, nor is the disobedient. 00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:35.399 And He will recompense all of you for your deeds. 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.399 The doer of good for his good. 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:42.070 And the doer of evil for what he deserves, or He may pardon. 00:15:42.070 --> 00:15:45.070 O you who have believed. 00:15:45.070 --> 00:15:51.070 “O ye who believe! When ye hold conference with the messenger, offer an alms before your conference. That is better and purer for you. But if ye cannot find (the wherewithal) then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (58:12) 00:15:51.070 --> 00:15:55.070 “O ye who believe! When ye hold conference with the messenger, offer an alms before your conference. That is better and purer for you. But if ye cannot find (the wherewithal) then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (58:12) 00:15:55.070 --> 00:16:02.070 “O ye who believe! When ye hold conference with the messenger, offer an alms before your conference. That is better and purer for you. But if ye cannot find (the wherewithal) then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (58:12) 00:16:02.070 --> 00:16:06.120 O you who have believed in Allah and His Messenger. 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:09.120 When you converse privately with the Messenger of Allah. 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:16.120 Then offer before your private conversation a charity that you give to the people of poverty and need. 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:22.120 And your offering of charity before your private conversation with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:27.120 Is better for you in the sight of Allah and purer for your hearts from sins. 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:34.120 But if you do not find what you can give in charity before your private conversation with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:39.120 Then indeed, Allah is Pardoning of your sins if you repent from them. 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:43.120 Merciful to you, so He will not punish you for them after repentance. 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:49.120 And He will not hold you accountable for your private conversation with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:54.860 Before you offer charity before your private conversation with him. 00:16:54.860 --> 00:17:02.860 “Fear ye to offer alms before your conference? Then, when ye do it not and Allah hath forgiven you, establish worship and pay the poor-due and obey Allah and His messenger. And Allah is Aware of what ye do.” (58:13) 00:17:02.860 --> 00:17:09.859 “Fear ye to offer alms before your conference? Then, when ye do it not and Allah hath forgiven you, establish worship and pay the poor-due and obey Allah and His messenger. And Allah is Aware of what ye do.” (58:13) 00:17:09.859 --> 00:17:18.859 “Fear ye to offer alms before your conference? Then, when ye do it not and Allah hath forgiven you, establish worship and pay the poor-due and obey Allah and His messenger. And Allah is Aware of what ye do.” (58:13) 00:17:18.859 --> 00:17:23.660 It was difficult for you, and you feared, O believers. 00:17:23.660 --> 00:17:29.660 That you would have to offer charities before your private conversation with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:17:29.660 --> 00:17:33.660 So since you did not offer charities before your private conversation. 00:17:33.660 --> 00:17:37.660 And Allah granted you repentance for your leaving that. 00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:45.660 Then perform the obligations of Allah that He has made mandatory upon you and has not lifted from you, such as prayer and zakat. 00:17:45.660 --> 00:17:50.660 And obey Allah and His Messenger in what He has commanded you and what He has forbidden you. 00:17:50.660 --> 00:17:54.660 And Allah is All-Aware and knowledgeable of your deeds. 00:17:54.660 --> 00:17:58.660 And He is recording them for you so that He may recompense you for them. 00:17:58.660 --> 00:18:04.160 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
