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-Shammari
Surah Al-Kahf
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Neither the creation of the heavens and the earth nor the creation of themselves made them witness
Nor did He create themselves, and I would not take the misguided as a support
Satan and his offspring did not create the heavens and the earth
Nor did I bear witness to the creation of some of them
So I seek His help in His creation
Rather, it was unique in creating all of this without any appointee or supporter
And I would not take anyone who does not guide to the truth as helpers and supporters
And the day He says, “Call my partners whom you claimed.”
So they called them, but they did not respond to them, and We made a crossing between them
And one day God says
I invite those who you claim are my partners in worship
To support you and protect you from me
So they called for help from them, but they did not help them
And He made us among these polytheists
And they did not call upon partners besides God as partners in this world, the cause of their destruction
And the polytheists saw the Fire on that day
They knew that they had entered it
They did not find anything about the fire that they saw
A rate to which they modify it
Because God has forced them to do so
We have presented in this Qur’an every example for people
The human being was the most controversial thing
We have presented every example in this Qur’an to people
And We exhorted them about it from every bite
We protested against them with every excuse so that they would remember and repent
Man was the most hypocritical and quarrelsome thing
He does not repent for what is right, nor is he rebuked for adversity
And what prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them
And they ask forgiveness from their Lord unless the Sunnah of the ancients comes to them
Or the torment will come to them before
O Muhammad, faith in God
When God's statement came to them
And seeking forgiveness from what they are doing to free themselves from their polytheism
Except for their coming, our example is from the nations who denied their Messenger before them
Or bring them the torment in plain sight
We do not send messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners
Those who disbelieve argue with falsehood in order to prove the truth
And they took My signs, and what they were warned of, they shook
We do not send Our Messenger except to give good news to people of faith and belief
With great reward in the afterlife
And to warn those who disbelieve in Him and deny Him, His punishment is great
He disputes with those who deny God and His Messenger falsely
We do not send our Messenger to argue and dispute
And you argue with them with falsehood in order to invalidate the truth, remove it, and take it away
The disbelievers in God took His arguments as evidence against them
And His book which He revealed to them
And the vows that I warn them with are mockery, and they mock them
Who is more unjust than he who is reminded of the signs of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forward?
Indeed, We have placed veils over their hearts so that they may understand it, and a deafness in their ears
And if you call them to guidance, then they will never be guided
Who is more unjust than the one who reminds him of his verses and arguments?
So guide him to the path of guidance and guide him to the path of salvation
So turn away from His verses and evidence
He forgot the fatal sins he had committed and did not repent
We have placed it on the hearts of those who turn away from the signs of God
Covers so that they do not understand him
And there is heaviness in their ears so that they do not hear him
And if you, O Muhammad, call upon those who turn away from God’s verses to adhere to the truth
They will never adhere to the truth
Because God has sealed their hearts, their hearing, and their sight
And your Lord, O Muhammad, covers the sins of His servants by pardoning them if they repent of them
The Most Merciful
If only those who turned away from His signs would be held accountable for the sins and misdeeds they have earned
To hasten their torment
But it is due to His mercy towards His creation
Unmerciful, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
But it is due to His mercy towards His creation
Not doing that to them
But they have an appointment
These polytheists will find no refuge to turn to
And with him they will be saved from the punishment of God
And those towns We destroyed because they wronged
And We have made a set time for their destruction
Those villages are from Ad, Thamud, and the people of the grove
We destroyed its people when they wronged and disbelieved in God and His signs
And We appointed for their destruction a time and a term
Thus We have made a meeting for these polytheists among your people, O Muhammad
If that date comes to them, we will destroy them
And when Musa said to his girl, “I will not leave until I reach the Bahrain Complex or spend a few days.”
And remember, O Muhammad, when Moses said to his servant, Joshua
I am still walking until I reach the complex of the Rum Sea and the Persian Sea
Or a prisoner for time and eternity
When he reached a gathering between them, they forgot their friendship
They forgot their lives, so he made his way into the sea in a swarm
When Musa and his boy reached the Bahrain complex
Forget their lives
So the whale took a path in the sea like a burrow
Until Moses returned to him and saw him
When he passed, he said to his girl, “Bring us our lunch.”
Bring us our lunch. We have found this to be a disappointment from our travel
When Musa and his servant passed the Bahrain complex
Moses said to his boy Joshua
We brought our lunch
We have experienced difficulty and fatigue from our travel
He said: Did you see that when we took shelter on the rock, I forgot the whale?
I forgot the whale, and no one but Satan makes me forget him
He made his way into the sea in amazement
His boy Musa said
Did you see when we took shelter in the rock?
I forgot the whale there
And no one forgets me to mention the whale except Satan
Moses marveled at the whale's path in the sea
He said that is what we wanted
Their traces wore stories
They found one of our servants
We gave him mercy from Us
We taught him knowledge from us
Moses said to his girl
Forget about you, Pisces, we asked
Because Moses was told
Your companion you want where you forget Pisces
So he returned to the path he had taken
They found a knowledgeable man from among our servants
We granted him mercy from Us
We also taught him knowledge from us
Moses told him
Do I follow you to teach me?
From what I learned from Rusha
He said that you will not be able to be patient with me
How can you be patient with what you have no knowledge of?
Moses told the world
Should I follow you if you teach me knowledge?
God has taught you what is guidance to the truth
And evidence of guidance
The scientist said
You won't be patient with me
This is because I work with inner knowledge
God taught me
You have no knowledge except the apparent meaning of things
Do not be patient with the actions you see
How can you be patient, Musa, with the actions you see from me?
Which you have no knowledge of
He said, God willing, you will find me patient
I will not disobey your command
He said, "Then you follow me."
Don't ask me anything
Until he mentioned it to you
Musa said
You will find me, God willing, patient with what I see from you
Even if it contradicts what I think is correct
I will do what you order me to do
Even if he doesn't agree with me
The scholar said to Moses
If you follow me now
Do not ask me about anything I do that you disapprove of
Until I tell you what you see of the actions that I do
I will show you what it is like
And I will tell you the news about her
So he set off until when they were boarding the ship he broke it
He said: You have destroyed it to drown its people. You have come to something terrible
So Moses and the scholar set out, walking with me, asking me for a ship to board
Even if they hit it, they board the ship
When they boarded it, the world broke the ship
Moses told him
I broke it after we went into the sea to drown its people
You have done a great thing and done a bad deed
He said, Did I not say that you will not be able to be patient with me?
He said, “Do not hold me accountable for what I have forgotten, and do not burden me with difficulty in my affairs.”
The scholar said to Moses
Did I not say that you will not be able to have patience with me based on what you see of my actions?
Because you see what you did not know about
Moses told him
Don't blame me for what I forgot
And do not make it difficult for me to be with you and my company with you
So he set off until he met a boy and killed him
He said, "You have killed a pure soul for another soul. You have done something reprehensible."
So he set off until he met a boy and the scholar killed him
Moses told him
I killed a pure soul who had no sin
You have done something reprehensible and done something unknown
