In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,039
A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

3
00:00:08,589 --> 00:00:12,710
Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil Ibn Salim al-Shammari.

4
00:00:12,949 --> 00:00:16,140
Surah al-Sharh.

5
00:00:18,539 --> 00:00:22,739
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

6
00:00:22,739 --> 00:00:25,620
“Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,” (94:1)

7
00:00:25,620 --> 00:00:29,579
"And We removed from you your burden,"

8
00:00:29,579 --> 00:00:33,579
"Which weighed upon your back,"

9
00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:36,740
"And raised high for you your repute."

10
00:00:36,740 --> 00:00:44,219
“But lo! with hardship goeth ease,” (94:5)

11
00:00:44,219 --> 00:00:47,820
"So when you have finished, then stand up [for worship],"

12
00:00:47,820 --> 00:00:50,820
"And to your Lord direct your longing."

13
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,240
Have We not expanded your chest, O Muhammad, for guidance,

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,960
And for faith in Allah and the knowledge of the truth?

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,439
We softened your heart and made it a vessel for wisdom.

16
00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:06,640
We forgave you your past sins,

17
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,799
And we removed from you the burden of the days of ignorance in which you lived,

18
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:14,950
Which weighed upon your back and weakened it.

19
00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:16,950
And We raised high for you your repute,

20
00:01:16,950 --> 00:01:20,180
So that you are never mentioned except that I am mentioned with you.

21
00:01:20,180 --> 00:01:24,819
For with the hardship you are experiencing, there is hope and relief,

22
00:01:24,819 --> 00:01:31,709
In that He will grant you victory over them until they submit to the truth you brought them, whether willingly or unwillingly.

23
00:01:31,750 --> 00:01:37,310
Then He commanded His Prophet to devote his leisure time away from all that had occupied him,

24
00:01:37,310 --> 00:01:41,870
Whether of worldly or otherworldly affairs that had previously engaged him.

25
00:01:41,870 --> 00:01:45,629
He commanded him to occupy himself with exertion in His worship,

26
00:01:45,629 --> 00:01:50,670
And to busy himself with that which draws him closer to Him and to ask Him for his needs.

27
00:01:50,670 --> 00:01:53,950
And to your Lord, O Muhammad, direct your longing,

28
00:01:53,950 --> 00:01:56,430
Rather than to anyone else among His creation,

29
00:01:56,430 --> 00:01:59,349
Since those polytheists among your people

30
00:01:59,349 --> 00:02:04,069
Had directed their longing for their needs toward idols and false deities.
