In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammar
Surah Al Imran
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Among the People of the Book are those who, if you secure them with a Qanqar, will return them to you
He will return it to you, and among them are those who, if you entrust him with a dinar, will not return it to you
It will only lead you to it as long as you stand on it
That is because they said, “We have no way to treat the illiterate.” And they say
And they say lies about God while they know
And from the People of the Book
If you trust him, O Muhammad, you will receive a great deal of money
He will give it to you and will not betray you
Among them is the one who, if you entrust him with a dinar, he betrays you with it
It will not lead him to you unless you insist on litigation and demands
For what he says
There is no blame or blame on us for what we have acquired from the Arabs’ money
Because they are not right and they are polytheists
And they say lying about God is our religion of sin
Indeed, whoever fulfills his covenant and is pious, God loves the pious
It is not what these liars say about God
But whoever fulfills his covenant that he made in his book
So he believed in Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and believed in him
And fear what God has forbidden from disbelief
God loves those who fear Him and fear His punishment
Those who buy into God's covenant and their oaths
A little fat. Those will have no share in the Hereafter
God will not speak to them or look at them on the Day of Resurrection
He will not purify them, and they will have a painful punishment
Those who forsake God's covenant
And with their false oaths, which they use as permissible
What God has forbidden to them of people’s money
A vile substitute for the world's wealth and its ruins
Those have no share in the good things of the Hereafter
God does not speak to them about what pleases them
He does not show kindness to them, out of God’s abhorrence for them
It does not cleanse them of the filth of their sins and disbelief
And they will have a painful torment
And among them is a group who distort the Scripture with their tongues
So that you may think it is from the Book, but it is not from the Book
They say it is from God, but it is not from God
And they say lies about God while they know
Among the Jews there is a group who distort the Book with their tongues
So that you might think that what they are distorting is from the Book of God and its revelation
And what is that which they twisted their tongues from the Book of God?
They claim that they twisted their tongues with it out of distortion and lies
From what God revealed to His prophets
This is not what God revealed to any of His prophets
But it is something they created on their own
They deliberately tell lies about God
It is not possible for a human being that God should give him the Book, wisdom, and prophecy
Then he tells people
Be my servants instead of God
But be masters
Because you knew the book
And what you were studying
And no human being should
May God send down the Book to him
And teach him the season of wisdom
And gives him prophecy
Then he calls people to worship himself instead of God
But if God gives him that
He only calls them to knowledge of God
He urges them to find out how to buy his religion
And to be imams in obedience to him
By teaching them the Book of their Lord
What is permissible and forbidden in it
By reciting it and studying it
He does not command you to take the angels
And the prophets are lords
I order you to disbelieve after you are Muslims
It was not for the Prophet to command people
To take angels and prophets
They worship gods other than God
Does your Prophet command you, people?
By denying the oneness of God
After you are led by obedience to Him
They grovel to Him in slavery
When God took the covenant of the prophets
Because I have given you of the Book and wisdom
Then a confirming messenger came to you
Tell me what you have so that you may believe it
And you will support him
He said, "Should I approve of you and you took my insistence on that?"
They said we agreed
He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.”
And remember, O People of the Book
When God took the covenant of the prophets
What they trusted themselves with
Obedience to God in what He commands and prohibits them
Whatever I come to you, O prophets
From the book and wisdom
Then a messenger from me came to you
I believe what you have
You will believe him and support him
Did you acknowledge the charter?
Which you trusted me with
You took what you trusted me to do
My covenant and my will
The prophets from whom God took a covenant said
We acknowledged the faith required of us
Your messengers whom you send
Believing in what we have of your books and with their support
God said
So bear witness, O prophets
With what I took into your covenant
And upon your followers among the nations
I am with you among the witnesses
You and them should do that
Whoever turns away after that, those are the transgressors
Whoever turns away from believing in My Messengers
The covenant and covenant have not yet been victorious
These are those who depart from the religion of God and obedience to their Lord
Do they seek anything other than the religion of God?
And to Him is the safest one in the heavens
And to Him is the safest of all who are in the heavens and the earth
Voluntarily and involuntarily
And to Him they will return
Is there anything other than obedience to God that they seek and desire?
To Him is the humility of all who are in the heavens and the earth
So he submitted to him in obedience
Like angels, prophets, and messengers
It is disliked, like Islam. Whoever converts to Islam warns of the sword against himself
And to Him you will become after He has killed you
So I will reward you for your deeds
And Jacob and the tribes
And what was given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord
We do not differentiate between any of them
We are Muslims to Him
If they seek other than the religion of God
So tell them, O Muhammad
We believe in God that He is our Lord and our God, and there is no god but Him
We believed in what was revealed to us from His revelation and revelation
We also believed in what was revealed to Abraham
And his two sons, Ishmael and Isaac
And his son Jacob
And what was revealed to the 12 sons of Jacob
We also believed in what was revealed to Moses and Jesus
And what was revealed to the prophets from Him
We don't believe some of them and we lie to some of them
But we believe in them all and believe them
We are led by obedience to Him
Humiliated by slavery
And whoever desires a religion other than Islam
He will not accept it
In the afterlife, he will be one of the losers
Whoever seeks a religion other than the religion of Islam will follow it
God will not accept him
In the Hereafter, he will be one of the miserly. Their souls will be filled with God’s mercy
How does God guide a people who multiplied after they believed?
They increased after their faith
They testified that the Messenger is true and clear evidence came to them
And God does not guide unjust people
Their reward is that they are subject to the curse of God, the angels, and all people
They will abide therein forever; the torment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be respite
Except those who repent after that and amend, for God is Forgiving and Merciful
How does God guide us to what is right and grant us success in faith?
A people who denied the prophecy of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, after they believed him
After they acknowledged that Muhammad is truly the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace to his creation
Proofs came to them from God
God does not guide the unjust group to the truth and correctness
Those who changed truth into falsehood
Those are their reward if they are excluded and distanced from God, from the angels, and from all people
Not some of what God called
They remain in God's punishment
They do not reduce the torment in any way
Nor do they look at someone to apologise
Except for those who repent after abandoning their faith
And they did good deeds
God is for whoever does that after his disbelief
He covered his sin of apostasy
Show mercy to him
Indeed, those who increased in number after their belief and then increased in disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted, and it is those who are astray
Those among the Jews who disbelieved in Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, after his being sent
After their belief in him before his resurrection
Then they increased in disbelief because of the sins they committed in their disbelief and their standing on their misguidance
Their repentance for the sins they committed in their disbelief will not be accepted
Until they repent of their disbelief in Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
And those are the ones who have strayed from the path of truth
They made a mistake in his approach
Confusion about them and those about him
Indeed, those who multiplied and died while they were disbelievers, it will not be accepted from any of them that fills the earth with gold, even if he ransomes it. Those will have a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers.
Those who denied the prophecy of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and died accordingly
No reward or bribe will be accepted from anyone who had this quality in the afterlife for abandoning his punishment for his disbelief
If he had as much gold as would fill the earth from east to west
Those who disbelieved and died while they were disbelievers
They will have a painful punishment before God in the Hereafter
They have no relative, intimate, or friend to support them
You will not attain righteousness until you spend from what you love
Whatever you spend, God is All-Knowing of it
