The Summary of Tafsir al-Tabari,

3
00:00:08,539 --> 00:00:12,740
Abridged by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem al-Shammari.

4
00:00:13,949 --> 00:00:16,030
Surah al-Baqarah.

5
00:00:17,789 --> 00:00:22,789
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

6
00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:31,940
“The guiding of them is not thy duty (O Muhammad), but Allah guideth whom He will. And whatsoever good thing ye spend, it is for yourselves, when ye spend not save in search of Allah's Countenance; and whatsoever good thing ye spend, it will be repaid to you in full, and ye will not be wronged.” (2:272)

7
00:00:32,259 --> 00:00:39,539
“The guiding of them is not thy duty (O Muhammad), but Allah guideth whom He will. And whatsoever good thing ye spend, it is for yourselves, when ye spend not save in search of Allah's Countenance; and whatsoever good thing ye spend, it will be repaid to you in full, and ye will not be wronged.” (2:272)

8
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:46,500
“The guiding of them is not thy duty (O Muhammad), but Allah guideth whom He will. And whatsoever good thing ye spend, it is for yourselves, when ye spend not save in search of Allah's Countenance; and whatsoever good thing ye spend, it will be repaid to you in full, and ye will not be wronged.” (2:272)

9
00:00:47,020 --> 00:00:56,259
“The guiding of them is not thy duty (O Muhammad), but Allah guideth whom He will. And whatsoever good thing ye spend, it is for yourselves, when ye spend not save in search of Allah's Countenance; and whatsoever good thing ye spend, it will be repaid to you in full, and ye will not be wronged.” (2:272)

10
00:00:57,539 --> 00:01:01,060
You are not responsible, O Muhammad, for guiding the polytheists to Islam,

11
00:01:01,380 --> 00:01:03,619
such that you should withhold voluntary charity from them,

12
00:01:04,019 --> 00:01:08,420
nor should you give it to them merely to induce them to enter Islam out of their need for it.

13
00:01:08,980 --> 00:01:13,180
Rather, it is Allah who guides whom He wills among His creation to Islam,

14
00:01:13,459 --> 00:01:14,739
granting them success to embrace it.

15
00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:16,939
So do not withhold charity from them.

16
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:20,980
And whatever wealth you spend in charity is for your own souls,

17
00:01:21,379 --> 00:01:25,420
that it may be a stored treasure for you when you need it on the Day of Resurrection.

18
00:01:26,170 --> 00:01:30,090
Whatever wealth you give in charity, you will receive its recompense in full,

19
00:01:30,569 --> 00:01:33,849
and its reward will return to you complete and diminished in nothing.

20
00:01:34,370 --> 00:01:36,489
For you will not be wronged regarding its reward,

21
00:01:36,689 --> 00:01:38,849
nor cheated of it or shortchanged,

22
00:01:39,489 --> 00:01:43,769
rather, it is upon Allah to pay you your rewards and recompense in full for it.

23
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:59,239
“(Alms are) for the poor who are straitened for the cause of Allah, who cannot travel in the land (for trade). The unthinking man accounteth them wealthy because of their restraint. Thou shalt know them by their mark: They do not beg of men with importunity. And whatsoever good thing ye spend, lo! Allah knoweth it.” (2:273)

24
00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:11,240
“(Alms are) for the poor who are straitened for the cause of Allah, who cannot travel in the land (for trade). The unthinking man accounteth them wealthy because of their restraint. Thou shalt know them by their mark: They do not beg of men with importunity. And whatsoever good thing ye spend, lo! Allah knoweth it.” (2:273)

25
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:22,800
“(Alms are) for the poor who are straitened for the cause of Allah, who cannot travel in the land (for trade). The unthinking man accounteth them wealthy because of their restraint. Thou shalt know them by their mark: They do not beg of men with importunity. And whatsoever good thing ye spend, lo! Allah knoweth it.” (2:273)

26
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:31,080
“(Alms are) for the poor who are straitened for the cause of Allah, who cannot travel in the land (for trade). The unthinking man accounteth them wealthy because of their restraint. Thou shalt know them by their mark: They do not beg of men with importunity. And whatsoever good thing ye spend, lo! Allah knoweth it.” (2:273)

27
00:02:32,270 --> 00:02:34,349
And whatever wealth you give in charity,

28
00:02:34,830 --> 00:02:39,750
let it be for the poor whom their struggle against the enemy has confined,

29
00:02:40,310 --> 00:02:42,229
keeping them from moving about for trade,

30
00:02:42,590 --> 00:02:44,710
so that they are unable to conduct commerce,

31
00:02:45,310 --> 00:02:49,150
nor are they able to travel through the land and journey across countries

32
00:02:49,590 --> 00:02:52,189
seeking livelihood and pursuing earnings.

33
00:02:52,509 --> 00:02:58,310
One who does not know their true state would think them rich because of their dignified restraint from asking.

34
00:02:58,870 --> 00:03:05,150
You recognize them, O Muhammad, by their outward signs and marks; they do not plead with people importunately.

35
00:03:05,710 --> 00:03:08,139
And whatever wealth you spend, O people,

36
00:03:08,419 --> 00:03:12,300
giving voluntary charity to the non-Muslim subjects under your covenant,

37
00:03:12,740 --> 00:03:16,020
or giving it to those whom your Lord commanded you to grant it to—

38
00:03:16,340 --> 00:03:19,460
namely, the poor who are constrained in the path of Allah—

39
00:03:20,219 --> 00:03:23,060
from that which Allah has made obligatory upon you from your wealth,

40
00:03:23,699 --> 00:03:25,580
then indeed, Allah is fully aware of it.

41
00:03:26,060 --> 00:03:29,020
He records it for you and stores its reward with Him,

42
00:03:29,620 --> 00:03:33,020
until He renders to you your full wages for all of it

43
00:03:33,460 --> 00:03:36,860
and magnifies your recompense for it on the Day of Resurrection.

44
00:03:49,909 --> 00:03:56,349
﴾they will have their reward with their Lord,﴿

45
00:03:56,949 --> 00:04:01,150
﴾they will have their reward with their Lord,﴿

46
00:04:01,150 --> 00:04:05,509
﴾and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.﴿

47
00:04:06,860 --> 00:04:09,419
Whoever spends his wealth by night and by day,

48
00:04:09,819 --> 00:04:11,259
in secret and openly,

49
00:04:11,780 --> 00:04:15,139
giving it in charity seeking the pleasure of Allah and pursuing His reward,

50
00:04:15,699 --> 00:04:19,180
shall have the reward of his charity stored for him with his Lord,

51
00:04:19,579 --> 00:04:23,220
until He pays it to him in full on the Day of his Resurrection.

52
00:04:23,740 --> 00:04:26,980
And there will be no fear upon him on the Day of Resurrection of His punishment,

53
00:04:27,420 --> 00:04:29,300
nor amid the terrors of His Day of Judgement,

54
00:04:29,860 --> 00:04:32,379
nor will he grieve when he arrives before Him,

55
00:04:32,899 --> 00:04:35,620
as he beholds the immense honor from Allah

56
00:04:35,620 --> 00:04:37,060
which He has prepared for him,

57
00:04:37,540 --> 00:04:40,339
over anything he left behind in the worldly life.

58
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:51,910
﴾Satan from [his] touch.﴿

59
00:04:52,470 --> 00:04:58,550
“Those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom the devil hath prostrated by (his) touch. That is because they say: Trade is just like usury; whereas Allah permitteth trading and forbiddeth usury. He unto whom an admonition from his Lord cometh, and (he) refraineth (in obedience thereto), he shall keep (the profits of) that which is past, and his affair (henceforth) is with Allah. As for him who returneth (to usury) - Such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein.” (2:275)

60
00:04:59,029 --> 00:05:03,189
“Those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom the devil hath prostrated by (his) touch. That is because they say: Trade is just like usury; whereas Allah permitteth trading and forbiddeth usury. He unto whom an admonition from his Lord cometh, and (he) refraineth (in obedience thereto), he shall keep (the profits of) that which is past, and his affair (henceforth) is with Allah. As for him who returneth (to usury) - Such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein.” (2:275)

61
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:11,589
“Those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom the devil hath prostrated by (his) touch. That is because they say: Trade is just like usury; whereas Allah permitteth trading and forbiddeth usury. He unto whom an admonition from his Lord cometh, and (he) refraineth (in obedience thereto), he shall keep (the profits of) that which is past, and his affair (henceforth) is with Allah. As for him who returneth (to usury) - Such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein.” (2:275)

62
00:05:12,069 --> 00:05:17,910
“Those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom the devil hath prostrated by (his) touch. That is because they say: Trade is just like usury; whereas Allah permitteth trading and forbiddeth usury.

63
00:05:18,350 --> 00:05:24,709
“Those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom the devil hath prostrated by (his) touch. That is because they say: Trade is just like usury; whereas Allah permitteth trading and forbiddeth usury.

64
00:05:25,230 --> 00:05:27,790
﴾they will abide eternally therein.﴿

65
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,319
Those who consume usury

66
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,519
will not rise in the Hereafter from their graves

67
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,959
“Those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom the devil hath prostrated by (his) touch. That is because they say: Trade is just like usury; whereas Allah permitteth trading and forbiddeth usury. He unto whom an admonition from his Lord cometh, and (he) refraineth (in obedience thereto), he shall keep (the profits of) that which is past, and his affair (henceforth) is with Allah. As for him who returneth (to usury) - Such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein.” (2:275)

68
00:05:37,959 --> 00:05:39,800
striking him down with madness.

69
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,000
This which We mentioned that will befall them on the Day of Resurrection—

70
00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:48,120
of their repulsive state and the terror of their rising from their graves—

71
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,480
is because in the worldly life they used to lie and fabricate,

72
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,000
saying, "Trade which Allah permitted for His servants is just like usury."

73
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,279
That was because those who consumed usury among the people of the Pre-Islamic Ignorance,

74
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,759
whenever the payment of a debt owed to one of them fell due,

75
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,399
the debtor would say:

76
00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:11,920
"Grant me an extension of time, and I will increase your money."

77
00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:15,279
So it would be said to both of them when they did that:

78
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,600
"This is usury; it is not lawful."

79
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:18,759
They replied:

80
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:22,079
"It is all the same to us whether we increase the amount at the inception of the sale

81
00:06:22,399 --> 00:06:24,000
or at the time the debt falls due."

82
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:28,399
Yet Allah permitted profits in trade, buying, and selling,

83
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,040
and He forbade the usurious increase.

84
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,959
So whoever receives an admonition and warning from his Lord

85
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,920
and desists from consuming usury,

86
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,800
refraining from practicing it,

87
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:42,720
may retain what he consumed and took in the past before the admonition and prohibition came from his Lord.

88
00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:48,800
And the affair of the one who used to consume it, after the admonition has reached him, is left to Allah regarding his protection and guidance:

89
00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:53,480
if He wills, He will protect him from consuming it and keep him steadfast in desisting from it,

90
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,120
and if He wills, He will forsake him.

91
00:06:56,879 --> 00:06:59,399
But whoever returns to consuming usury after the prohibition,

92
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:01,720
those are the companions of the Fire;

93
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:05,319
meaning the Fire of Hell, wherein they will abide eternally.

94
00:07:13,819 --> 00:07:16,220
Allah obliterates usury, wiping it out,

95
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:21,540
and He multiplies the reward of charities for their giver, causing them to grow for him.

96
00:07:22,060 --> 00:07:26,699
And Allah does not like any persistent, ungrateful disbeliever in his Lord who clings to his denial,

97
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:29,819
deeming lawful the consuming and feeding of usury,

98
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:35,699
a habitual sinner who persists in sin concerning what He forbade of consuming usury and illicit wealth.

99
00:07:44,029 --> 00:07:49,230
As for those who believed in Allah and in His Messenger, and in what he brought from their Lord

100
00:07:49,709 --> 00:07:52,670
regarding the prohibition of usury and its consumption and other matters,

101
00:07:53,149 --> 00:07:56,910
and performed righteous deeds and established prayer,

102
00:07:57,389 --> 00:08:02,990
“Lo! those who believe and do good works and establish worship and pay the poor-due, their reward is with their Lord and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.” (2:277)

103
00:08:03,470 --> 00:08:11,120
they will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.

104
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:14,160
They did not deem usury or its consumption lawful, among other prohibitions,

105
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:20,959
and they performed righteous deeds and established the obligatory prayer within its prescribed limits, performing it according to its Sunnahs,

106
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:24,879
and gave the obligatory zakat due upon their wealth;

107
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:30,079
they shall have the reward of that for their deeds, their faith, and their charity.

108
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:37,279
And no fear will there be upon them on that Day of His punishment for whatever occurred from them previously in their Ignorance,

109
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:42,480
nor will they grieve over having abandoned the consumption of usury in the worldly life;

110
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,559
for their abandoning of what they left behind in this worldly life

111
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:49,200
was solely seeking His pleasure in the Hereafter,

112
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,639
so they attained what they were promised for forsaking it.

113
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,879
O you who have believed in Allah and in His Messenger,

114
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,519
fear Allah for your own souls,

115
00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:17,440
and be conscious of Him by obeying Him,

116
00:09:17,759 --> 00:09:25,679
and forgo seeking whatever remains due to you of surplus over the principal of your capital that was yours before you engaged in usury,

117
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,279
if you truly affirm your faith in speech

118
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:32,960
and confirm what your tongues have professed through your actions,

119
00:09:39,009 --> 00:09:41,889
O people of obedience to Allah and His Messenger!

120
00:09:42,210 --> 00:09:49,570
“And if ye do not, then be warned of war (against you) from Allah and His messenger. And if ye repent, then ye have your principal (without interest). Wrong not, and ye shall not be wronged.” (2:279)

121
00:09:49,570 --> 00:09:52,610
But if you do not give up what remains of usury,

122
00:09:53,090 --> 00:09:57,169
then be apprised and certain of a war from Allah.

123
00:09:57,649 --> 00:10:00,450
But if you repent and abandon the consumption of usury,

124
00:10:00,769 --> 00:10:04,850
then you shall have your principal sums from the debts owed to you by the people,

125
00:10:05,409 --> 00:10:07,970
without the increase that you newly introduced.

126
00:10:07,970 --> 00:10:11,570
You will not be wronged by taking your principal sums,

127
00:10:11,570 --> 00:10:16,570
nor will the debtor who pays you that deprive you of a right due to you from him,

128
00:10:16,570 --> 00:10:21,570
because whatever was in excess of your principal sums was never your rightful due.

129
00:10:21,570 --> 00:10:28,730
“And if the debtor is in straitened circumstances, then (let there be) postponement to (the time of) ease; and that ye remit the debt as almsgiving would be better for you if ye did but know.” (2:280)

130
00:10:28,730 --> 00:10:33,330
“And if the debtor is in straitened circumstances, then (let there be) postponement to (the time of) ease; and that ye remit the debt as almsgiving would be better for you if ye did but know.” (2:280)

131
00:10:33,330 --> 00:10:38,330
﴾if you only knew.﴿

132
00:10:38,330 --> 00:10:42,779
And if any of your debtors is in hardship regarding your principal sums

133
00:10:42,779 --> 00:10:45,779
that were owed to you before the usurious transaction,

134
00:10:45,779 --> 00:10:48,779
then grant them respite until a time of ease.

135
00:10:48,779 --> 00:10:52,779
And that you remit your principal sums as charity to this debtor in hardship

136
00:10:52,779 --> 00:10:56,779
is better for you than granting him respite until a time of ease,

137
00:10:56,779 --> 00:11:00,779
if you truly know the virtue inherent in charity

138
00:11:00,779 --> 00:11:05,779
and the reward Allah has made obligatory for whoever relieves his debtor in hardship.

139
00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:26,799
And beware, O people, of a Day when you will be returned to Allah,

140
00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:29,799
lest you meet Him with misdeeds that will ruin you,

141
00:11:29,799 --> 00:11:32,799
or with disgraceful deeds that will humiliate you,

142
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:34,799
tearing away your veils of concealment.

143
00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:37,799
Then every soul will be compensated in full on that Day

144
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:41,799
for whatever evil or good it put forward and earned;

145
00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:44,799
neither a small matter nor a great one will be omitted therein,

146
00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:47,799
of good or evil, except that it will be brought forth,

147
00:11:47,799 --> 00:11:49,799
and they will not be wronged.

148
00:11:49,799 --> 00:11:53,799
And how could one be wronged who is recompensed for an evil deed with only its like,

149
00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:56,799
and for a good deed with ten times its like?

150
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,799
Nay, rather, justice was dealt to you, O wrongdoer,

151
00:11:59,799 --> 00:12:02,799
and He was gracious to you, conferring excess favor and abundant bounty,

152
00:12:02,799 --> 00:12:04,799

189
00:14:59,779 --> 00:15:06,779
when you conduct a sale on credit or make a purchase deferred to a known, agreed-upon time among yourselves,

190
00:15:06,779 --> 00:15:12,779
then write down the debt that you have contracted for a specified term, whether arising from a sale or a loan.

191
00:15:12,779 --> 00:15:16,779
And let a scribe write the debt document with truth and justice,

192
00:15:16,779 --> 00:15:20,779
in a manner that does not prejudice the rights of the creditor or diminish them;

193
00:15:20,779 --> 00:15:22,779
so let the scribe write.

194
00:15:22,779 --> 00:15:26,779
And let the debtor dictate the document detailing what he owes of the debt,

195
00:15:26,779 --> 00:15:31,779
and let the dictating debtor who owes the right fear Allah, his Lord,

196
00:15:31,779 --> 00:15:36,779
and beware of His punishment if he shortchanges the creditor of any of his rightful due,

197
00:15:36,779 --> 00:15:41,779
lest he be held accountable for it where he cannot repay it except from his good deeds,

198
00:15:41,779 --> 00:15:44,779
or by carrying some of the creditor's sins.

199
00:15:44,779 --> 00:15:51,779
But if the debtor who owes the money is ignorant of the proper terms he must dictate to the scribe,

200
00:15:51,779 --> 00:15:55,779
or is feeble or unable to dictate the document,

201
00:15:55,779 --> 00:15:58,779
then let his guardian dictate the right in full truth and justice.

202
00:15:58,779 --> 00:16:02,009
And call to witness over your rights two witnesses

203
00:16:02,009 --> 00:16:06,009
from among your free Muslim men, excluding your slaves,

204
00:16:06,009 --> 00:16:09,009
and excluding your free non-Muslims.

205
00:16:09,009 --> 00:16:11,070
And if there are not two men,

206
00:16:11,070 --> 00:16:15,070
then let there be a man and two women for the testimony,

207
00:16:15,070 --> 00:16:18,070
from among the upright whose religious commitment and integrity are accepted,

208
00:16:18,070 --> 00:16:22,070
so that one of the two women may remind the other if she errs.

209
00:16:22,070 --> 00:16:30,070
And the witnesses should not refuse to answer when they are called to establish and deliver the testimony before an authority or a judge.

210
00:16:30,070 --> 00:16:35,070
And do not become weary, O you who enter into transactions on credit for a term,

211
00:16:35,070 --> 00:16:39,070
of writing down the right, whether it is small or great, along with its due date,

212
00:16:39,070 --> 00:16:43,230
for writing is more precise in recording both the term and the amount.

213
00:16:43,230 --> 00:16:46,230
That writing down of the debt until its term

214
00:16:46,230 --> 00:16:48,230
is more just in the sight of Allah,

215
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:50,230
more upright for establishing testimony,

216
00:16:50,230 --> 00:16:53,230
and nearer to preventing you from doubting the testimony.

217
00:16:53,230 --> 00:16:58,230
Unless it be a transaction conducted with spot cash, hand to hand,

218
00:16:58,230 --> 00:17:03,230
in which case there is no blame on you for not writing down their rights against their debtors,

219
00:17:03,230 --> 00:17:08,230
because each one of them—meaning the buyers and the sellers—

220
00:17:08,230 --> 00:17:11,230
receives what is due to him before they part company,

221
00:17:11,230 --> 00:17:14,230
so there is no need for them to write it down.

222
00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:19,230
But take witnesses over both the small and great of your transactions regarding your rights,

223
00:17:19,230 --> 00:17:23,230
whether immediate or deferred, spot cash or on credit.

224
00:17:23,230 --> 00:17:28,230
And let neither of them be harmed by the one who requests the writing or calls for the testimony:

225
00:17:28,230 --> 00:17:34,230
such as insisting that the scribe write for him while he is occupied with his own affairs,

226
00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:39,230
or insisting that the witness come forward to testify while he is not free.

227
00:17:39,230 --> 00:17:43,329
And if you cause harm to the scribe or the witness, defying what you were forbidden,

228
00:17:43,329 --> 00:17:46,329
it is indeed an act of sin and disobedience.

229
00:17:46,329 --> 00:17:52,329
Fear Allah, O you who enter into debts, regarding the scribes and witnesses, lest you harm them,

230
00:17:52,329 --> 00:17:56,329
and regarding all other limits set by Allah, lest you neglect them.

231
00:17:56,329 --> 00:18:01,329
He makes clear to you what is due to you and what is incumbent upon you, so act accordingly.

232
00:18:01,329 --> 00:18:05,329
And Allah is All-Knowing of all things, including your deeds and everything else;

233
00:18:05,329 --> 00:18:11,220
He keeps full account of them to recompense you for them.
