WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 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. 00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:12.740 Abridged by Dr. Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari. 00:00:14.009 --> 00:00:15.890 Surah al-Nahl. 00:00:18.489 --> 00:00:22.609 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:23.620 --> 00:00:32.140 Indeed, He commands justice, excellence, and giving to relatives. 00:00:32.340 --> 00:00:35.299 And giving to relatives. 00:00:35.299 --> 00:00:40.659 “Lo! Allah enjoineth justice and kindness, and giving to kinsfolk, and forbiddeth lewdness and abomination and wickedness. He exhorteth you in order that ye may take heed.” (16:90) 00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:45.460 He admonishes you so that you may take heed. 00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.359 Indeed, Allah commands fairness in this Book. 00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.880 And excellence through patience in obeying Him during times of hardship and ease. 00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.079 Which is the fulfillment of His obligatory duties. 00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.759 And He commands giving to relatives. 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.040 The right that Allah has made mandatory due to kinship and blood ties. 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:06.000 And He forbids adultery. 00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.519 And transgression born of arrogance and injustice. 00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.640 Your Lord reminds you, O people. 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.359 So that you may remember, turn back to His commands and prohibitions. 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.680 And recognize the truth for those to whom it belongs. 00:01:19.459 --> 00:01:23.099 “Fulfil the covenant of Allah when ye have covenanted, and break not your oaths after the asseveration of them, and after ye have made Allah surety over you. Lo! Allah knoweth what ye do.” (16:91) 00:01:23.099 --> 00:01:27.819 “Fulfil the covenant of Allah when ye have covenanted, and break not your oaths after the asseveration of them, and after ye have made Allah surety over you. Lo! Allah knoweth what ye do.” (16:91) 00:01:28.260 --> 00:01:33.019 “Fulfil the covenant of Allah when ye have covenanted, and break not your oaths after the asseveration of them, and after ye have made Allah surety over you. Lo! Allah knoweth what ye do.” (16:91) 00:01:33.019 --> 00:01:37.340 “Fulfil the covenant of Allah when ye have covenanted, and break not your oaths after the asseveration of them, and after ye have made Allah surety over you. Lo! Allah knoweth what ye do.” (16:91) 00:01:37.819 --> 00:01:43.219 “Fulfil the covenant of Allah when ye have covenanted, and break not your oaths after the asseveration of them, and after ye have made Allah surety over you. Lo! Allah knoweth what ye do.” (16:91) 00:01:44.939 --> 00:01:47.980 And fulfill the covenant of Allah when you have made a pledge. 00:01:48.500 --> 00:01:51.500 Having thereby bound yourselves to a duty. 00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:53.579 And do not violate the command. 00:01:53.900 --> 00:01:56.939 After you have confirmed your oaths upon yourselves. 00:01:57.579 --> 00:02:00.780 Thus breaking your oaths and lying therein. 00:02:01.379 --> 00:02:05.299 While you have made Allah, by fulfilling what you have contracted. 00:02:05.299 --> 00:02:09.020 A witness over yourselves, watching over those among you who are faithful. 00:02:09.740 --> 00:02:11.460 Indeed, Allah, O people. 00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:13.900 Knows what you do regarding your covenants. 00:02:14.500 --> 00:02:17.300 Whether you fulfill them or break them. 00:02:17.860 --> 00:02:19.939 And other than that of your deeds. 00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:22.419 So fear Allah, lest you meet Him. 00:02:22.419 --> 00:02:25.340 While you have violated His commands and prohibitions therein. 00:02:27.250 --> 00:02:31.210 “And be not like unto her who unravelleth the thread, after she hath made it strong, to thin filaments, making your oaths a deceit between you because of a nation being more numerous than (another) nation. Allah only trieth you thereby, and He verily will explain to you on the Day of Resurrection that wherein ye differed.” (16:92) 00:02:31.210 --> 00:02:40.210 “And be not like unto her who unravelleth the thread, after she hath made it strong, to thin filaments, making your oaths a deceit between you because of a nation being more numerous than (another) nation. Allah only trieth you thereby, and He verily will explain to you on the Day of Resurrection that wherein ye differed.” (16:92) 00:02:40.210 --> 00:02:50.409 “And be not like unto her who unravelleth the thread, after she hath made it strong, to thin filaments, making your oaths a deceit between you because of a nation being more numerous than (another) nation. Allah only trieth you thereby, and He verily will explain to you on the Day of Resurrection that wherein ye differed.” (16:92) 00:02:50.409 --> 00:02:56.889 That one nation might be more numerous than another. 00:02:57.370 --> 00:03:01.490 “And be not like unto her who unravelleth the thread, after she hath made it strong, to thin filaments, making your oaths a deceit between you because of a nation being more numerous than (another) nation. Allah only trieth you thereby, and He verily will explain to you on the Day of Resurrection that wherein ye differed.” (16:92) 00:03:01.969 --> 00:03:11.330 “And be not like unto her who unravelleth the thread, after she hath made it strong, to thin filaments, making your oaths a deceit between you because of a nation being more numerous than (another) nation. Allah only trieth you thereby, and He verily will explain to you on the Day of Resurrection that wherein ye differed.” (16:92) 00:03:12.949 --> 00:03:17.750 And do not be, O people, in your breaking of your oaths after they have been confirmed. 00:03:18.229 --> 00:03:22.389 Like the woman who unravels her thread after it has been spun, breaking it into pieces. 00:03:22.949 --> 00:03:26.110 You make the oaths by which you swear. 00:03:26.110 --> 00:03:29.590 Claiming that you are fulfilling the covenant to those with whom you have contracted. 00:03:29.949 --> 00:03:33.030 A deception and a ruse, so that they may trust you. 00:03:33.469 --> 00:03:35.629 While you are harboring treachery toward them. 00:03:35.789 --> 00:03:37.669 And the abandonment of fulfilling the covenant. 00:03:38.270 --> 00:03:41.469 Because others are more numerous than them. 00:03:42.110 --> 00:03:45.430 Allah is only testing you by His command to you. 00:03:45.469 --> 00:03:48.389 To fulfill the covenant of Allah when you have made a pledge. 00:03:48.949 --> 00:03:53.789 So that the obedient among you may be distinguished from the disobedient who violates His command and prohibition. 00:03:54.620 --> 00:03:59.979 And your Lord will surely make clear to you, O people, on the Day of Resurrection when you arrive before Him. 00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:04.699 By rewarding each group among you for their deeds in this world. 00:04:05.180 --> 00:04:07.340 The righteous among you for their righteousness. 00:04:07.699 --> 00:04:09.539 And the evildoer for their evil. 00:04:10.219 --> 00:04:13.419 And that over which you used to differ in the world. 00:04:14.139 --> 00:04:18.620 For the believer used to acknowledge the oneness of Allah and the prophethood of His Prophet. 00:04:19.259 --> 00:04:22.220 And the disbeliever used to deny all of that. 00:04:22.699 --> 00:04:25.699 That is why they differed in the world. 00:04:44.339 --> 00:04:47.500 And had your Lord willed, O people. 00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:50.339 He would have been gentle with you through guidance from Him. 00:04:50.740 --> 00:04:56.860 And you would have all become one community, neither differing nor splitting. 00:04:57.459 --> 00:04:59.699 But He caused you to differ. 00:05:00.019 --> 00:05:02.339 And made you into various religious communities. 00:05:02.819 --> 00:05:06.819 By granting success to these to believe in Him and live. 00:05:07.180 --> 00:05:10.819 And despite that, you must be of various religious communities. 00:05:11.779 --> 00:05:16.100 By granting success to these to believe in Him and act in obedience to Him. 00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:19.779 And He abandoned those, depriving them of His success. 00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:23.689 And Allah will surely ask you all on the Day of Resurrection. 00:05:23.689 --> 00:05:26.250 About what you used to do in the world. 00:05:26.250 --> 00:05:28.410 Regarding what He commanded you and forbade you. 00:05:28.889 --> 00:05:31.610 Then He will surely reward you with a recompense. 00:05:32.009 --> 00:05:34.250 The obedient among you for their obedience. 00:05:34.490 --> 00:05:36.810 And the disobedient to Him for their disobedience. 00:05:41.910 --> 00:05:44.550 So you will not learn among yourselves. 00:05:44.550 --> 00:05:49.509 “Make not your oaths a deceit between you, lest a foot should slip after being firmly planted and ye should taste evil forasmuch as ye debarred (men) from the way of Allah, and yours should be an awful doom.” (16:94) 00:05:50.389 --> 00:05:53.509 “Make not your oaths a deceit between you, lest a foot should slip after being firmly planted and ye should taste evil forasmuch as ye debarred (men) from the way of Allah, and yours should be an awful doom.” (16:94) 00:05:53.509 --> 00:05:58.629 And you will taste evil because you hindered. 00:05:58.629 --> 00:06:02.310 And you will taste evil because you hindered. 00:06:02.310 --> 00:06:05.029 From the path of Allah. 00:06:05.029 --> 00:06:08.569 And for you is a great punishment. 00:06:09.209 --> 00:06:11.610 And do not take your oaths among yourselves. 00:06:11.610 --> 00:06:14.410 Deceiving people with them. 00:06:14.410 --> 00:06:18.410 So that you perish after having been secure from destruction. 00:06:18.410 --> 00:06:23.129 This is a parable for everyone who is tested after being in a state of well-being. 00:06:23.129 --> 00:06:25.529 And you shall taste the punishment of Allah. 00:06:25.529 --> 00:06:29.129 With which He punishes those who disobey Him in the world. 00:06:29.129 --> 00:06:32.889 And that is some of what He punishes the disbelievers with. 00:06:32.889 --> 00:06:36.009 Because you tempted those who wanted to believe in Allah. 00:06:36.009 --> 00:06:38.170 And His Messenger, away from the faith. 00:06:38.170 --> 00:06:41.209 And for you is a great punishment in the Hereafter. 00:06:41.449 --> 00:06:43.610 And that is the Fire of Hell. 00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:50.819 “And purchase not a small gain at the price of Allah's covenant. Lo! that which Allah hath is better for you, if ye did but know.” (16:95) 00:06:50.819 --> 00:06:56.899 “And purchase not a small gain at the price of Allah's covenant. Lo! that which Allah hath is better for you, if ye did but know.” (16:95) 00:06:56.899 --> 00:07:01.939 If you only knew. 00:07:03.100 --> 00:07:06.379 And do not break your covenants, O people. 00:07:06.379 --> 00:07:11.399 Seeking by that breaking a small worldly gain. 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.879 But fulfill the covenant of Allah. 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.920 Allah will reward you for fulfilling it. 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:21.000 For what is with Allah in terms of reward is better for you. 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.759 If you only knew the superiority of what is between the two compensations. 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.720 One of which is the small price. 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.779 And the other is the abundant reward. 00:07:31.779 --> 00:07:35.300 What you have will perish. 00:07:35.300 --> 00:07:40.180 “That which ye have wasteth away, and that which Allah hath remaineth. And verily We shall pay those who are steadfast a recompense in proportion to the best of what they used to do.” (16:96) 00:07:40.180 --> 00:07:45.699 And We will surely reward those who were patient with their recompense. 00:07:45.699 --> 00:07:50.180 According to the best of what they used to do. 00:07:51.269 --> 00:07:53.509 What you have, O people. 00:07:53.509 --> 00:07:55.990 Of what you possess in this world. 00:07:55.990 --> 00:07:57.269 Even if it is much. 00:07:57.269 --> 00:07:59.509 Is fleeting and perishing. 00:07:59.509 --> 00:08:02.230 And what is with Allah for those who fulfilled their covenant. 00:08:02.230 --> 00:08:05.430 And obeyed Him of the good things is lasting. 00:08:05.430 --> 00:08:08.709 And Allah will surely reward those who were patient with their recompense. 00:08:08.790 --> 00:08:11.509 On the Day of Resurrection for their patience upon it. 00:08:11.509 --> 00:08:13.829 And their hastening toward His pleasure. 00:08:13.829 --> 00:08:15.750 According to the best of what they used to do. 00:08:15.750 --> 00:08:18.470 Of deeds, not the worst of them. 00:08:18.470 --> 00:08:21.189 And Allah will surely forgive them their evil deeds. 00:08:21.189 --> 00:08:23.689 By His grace. 00:08:23.689 --> 00:08:29.930 Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female. 00:08:29.930 --> 00:08:34.169 While he is a believer. 00:08:34.169 --> 00:08:39.690 We will surely grant him a good life. 00:08:39.690 --> 00:08:43.929 And We will surely reward them their recompense. 00:08:43.929 --> 00:08:49.100 According to the best of what they used to do. 00:08:49.100 --> 00:08:53.100 Whoever acts in obedience to Allah, whether male or female. 00:08:53.100 --> 00:08:55.740 And is a believer in the reward of Allah. 00:08:55.740 --> 00:09:00.139 We will surely grant him a good life through contentment. 00:09:00.139 --> 00:09:04.779 This is because whoever Allah makes content with the provision He has allotted him. 00:09:04.779 --> 00:09:07.179 Will not tire himself excessively for the world. 00:09:07.179 --> 00:09:10.059 And his life will not be troubled therein. 00:09:10.059 --> 00:09:15.659 And We will surely reward them their recompense according to the best of what they used to do in the Hereafter. 00:09:15.659 --> 00:09:24.740 “And when thou recitest the Qur'an, seek refuge in Allah from Satan the outcast.” (16:98) 00:09:24.740 --> 00:09:30.580 “Lo! he hath no power over those who believe and put trust in their Lord.” (16:99) 00:09:30.580 --> 00:09:34.500 And upon their Lord they rely. 00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:40.820 “His power is only over those who make a friend of him, and those who ascribe partners unto Him (Allah).” (16:100) 00:09:40.820 --> 00:09:43.779 Upon those who take Him as their ally. 00:09:43.779 --> 00:09:49.940 “His power is only over those who make a friend of him, and those who ascribe partners unto Him (Allah).” (16:100) 00:09:49.940 --> 00:09:54.809 And when you, O Muhammad, read the Qur'an. 00:09:54.809 --> 00:09:58.330 “And when thou recitest the Qur'an, seek refuge in Allah from Satan the outcast.” (16:98) 00:09:58.330 --> 00:10:04.379 Indeed, Satan has no authority over those who believe in Allah and His Messenger. 00:10:04.379 --> 00:10:09.980 And upon their Lord they rely in whatever befalls them of their important affairs. 00:10:10.299 --> 00:10:13.820 His authority is only over those who worship him. 00:10:13.820 --> 00:10:18.649 And those who associate others with Allah. 00:10:18.649 --> 00:10:23.850 “And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, - and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say: Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not.” (16:101) 00:10:23.850 --> 00:10:27.049 “And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, - and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say: Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not.” (16:101) 00:10:27.049 --> 00:10:33.850 “And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, - and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say: Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not.” (16:101) 00:10:33.850 --> 00:10:39.799 But most of them do not know. 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.360 And when We abrogate the ruling of a verse. 00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:45.399 And replace it with another ruling in its place. 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:52.120 And Allah is most knowing of what is best for His creation in what He replaces and changes of His rulings. 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.039 The polytheists said. 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:57.080 You are only a liar, O Muhammad. 00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:00.840 Fabricating lies against Allah. 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:06.679 But most of these people do not know the reality of its truth. 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:11.399 “Say: The holy Spirit hath delivered it from thy Lord with truth, that it may confirm (the faith of) those who believe, and as guidance and good tidings for those who have surrendered (to Allah).” (16:102) 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:18.039 To strengthen those who believe. 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:24.279 And as guidance and good tidings for the Muslims. 00:11:25.909 --> 00:11:28.309 Say, O Muhammad, to those who say to you. 00:11:28.309 --> 00:11:30.549 You are only a fabricator. 00:11:30.549 --> 00:11:34.309 It was brought by Gabriel from my Lord with the truth. 00:11:34.309 --> 00:11:36.629 Its abrogating and its abrogated parts. 00:11:36.710 --> 00:11:40.789 As a confirmation for the believers and a strengthening of their faith. 00:11:40.789 --> 00:11:43.269 And as guidance for them away from misguidance. 00:11:43.269 --> 00:11:47.350 And good tidings for the Muslims who have submitted to the command of Allah. 00:11:47.350 --> 00:11:51.179 And yielded to His command and prohibition. 00:11:51.179 --> 00:11:59.419 “And We know well that they say: Only a man teacheth him. The speech of him at whom they falsely hint is outlandish, and this is clear Arabic speech.” (16:103) 00:11:59.419 --> 00:12:04.379 “And We know well that they say: Only a man teacheth him. The speech of him at whom they falsely hint is outlandish, and this is clear Arabic speech.” (16:103) 00:12:04.379 --> 00:12:09.659 “And We know well that they say: Only a man teacheth him. The speech of him at whom they falsely hint is outlandish, and this is clear Arabic speech.” (16:103) 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:15.080 And We certainly know that these polytheists say. 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.840 Muhammad is only taught this which he recites. 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.080 By a human being from the children of Adam. 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.659 “And lo! there is a party of them who distort the Scripture with their tongues, that ye may think that what they say is from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say: It is from Allah, when it is not from Allah; and they speak a lie concerning Allah knowingly.” (3:78) 00:12:23.659 --> 00:12:29.899 Indeed, the tongue of the one you point to as teaching Muhammad is foreign. 00:12:29.899 --> 00:12:32.779 And that is because, as mentioned. 00:12:32.779 --> 00:12:39.179 They used to claim that the one who teaches Muhammad this Qur'an is a Roman slave. 00:12:39.179 --> 00:12:44.470 And this Qur'an is in a clear Arabic tongue. 00:12:44.470 --> 00:12:53.029 “Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah, Allah guideth them not and theirs will be a painful doom.” (16:104) 00:12:53.029 --> 00:13:00.149 “Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah, Allah guideth them not and theirs will be a painful doom.” (16:104) 00:13:00.230 --> 00:13:04.309 Indeed, those who do not believe in the proofs and evidences of Allah. 00:13:04.309 --> 00:13:07.750 Allah does not grant them success in attaining the truth. 00:13:07.750 --> 00:13:11.350 Nor does He guide them to the path of righteousness in the world. 00:13:11.350 --> 00:13:16.500 And for them in the Hereafter is a painful, agonizing punishment. 00:13:16.500 --> 00:13:25.139 “Only they invent falsehood who believe not Allah's revelations, and (only) they are the liars.” (16:105) 00:13:25.139 --> 00:13:32.570 And those are the liars. 00:13:32.570 --> 00:13:38.570 Only those who do not believe in the proofs and signs of Allah fabricate lies. 00:13:38.570 --> 00:13:43.210 Because they do not hope for a reward nor fear a punishment. 00:13:43.210 --> 00:13:50.539 And those who do not believe in the verses of Allah are the ones who lie against the believers. 00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:55.899 “Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.” (16:106) 00:13:55.899 --> 00:14:09.740 “Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.” (16:106) 00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:21.100 “Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.” (16:106) 00:14:21.100 --> 00:14:29.179 “Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.” (16:106) 00:14:29.179 --> 00:14:33.580 And for them is a great punishment. 00:14:33.580 --> 00:14:38.940 That is because they loved the life of this world. 00:14:38.940 --> 00:14:45.340 Over the Hereafter. 00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:51.340 “That is because they have chosen the life of the world rather than the Hereafter, and because Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.” (16:107) 00:14:51.340 --> 00:14:55.620 “Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.” (16:106) 00:14:55.620 --> 00:14:58.179 Except for one who is forced to disbelieve. 00:14:58.179 --> 00:15:01.220 And utters the word of disbelief with his tongue. 00:15:01.220 --> 00:15:04.179 While his heart is firm in faith. 00:15:04.179 --> 00:15:06.179 Certain of its reality. 00:15:06.179 --> 00:15:08.759 His resolve is sound upon it. 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:11.639 “Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.” (16:106) 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:14.840 So he chose it and preferred it over faith. 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.320 Then upon them is the wrath of Allah. 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:20.440 And a great punishment is due for them. 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.960 Because they chose the adornment of the life of this world. 00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.120 Over the bliss of the Hereafter. 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.679 And because Allah does not grant success to a people who deny His verses. 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:35.110 While they persist in denying them. 00:15:35.110 --> 00:15:41.029 Those are the ones upon whose hearts Allah has set a seal. 00:15:41.029 --> 00:15:44.149 And their hearing and their vision. 00:15:44.149 --> 00:15:50.070 And those are the heedless. 00:15:50.070 --> 00:15:58.730 “Assuredly in the Hereafter they are the losers.” (16:109) 00:15:58.730 --> 00:16:00.889 These polytheists. 00:16:00.889 --> 00:16:04.649 Are the people upon whose hearts Allah has set a seal. 00:16:04.730 --> 00:16:07.210 So He has stamped them with His seal. 00:16:07.210 --> 00:16:10.169 So they do not believe and are not guided. 00:16:10.169 --> 00:16:15.289 And He has deafened their hearing so they do not hear the caller of Allah to guidance. 00:16:15.289 --> 00:16:19.610 And He has blinded their vision so they do not see with them the proofs of Allah. 00:16:19.610 --> 00:16:22.519 A vision of one who considers and takes heed. 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:28.039 And these are the ones who are neglectful of what Allah has prepared for their likes among the people of disbelief. 00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:30.440 And of what is intended for them. 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:34.279 There is no doubt that in the Hereafter they are the losers. 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:39.559 Who have cheated themselves out of their shares of the honor of Allah the Exalted. 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:51.639 “Then lo! thy Lord - for those who became fugitives after they had been persecuted, and then fought and were steadfast - lo! thy Lord afterward is (for them) indeed Forgiving, Merciful.” (16:110) 00:16:51.639 --> 00:17:01.799 “Then lo! thy Lord - for those who became fugitives after they had been persecuted, and then fought and were steadfast - lo! thy Lord afterward is (for them) indeed Forgiving, Merciful.” (16:110) 00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:09.779 Then indeed, your Lord, O Muhammad, for those who emigrated from their homes to the homes of the people of Islam. 00:17:09.779 --> 00:17:12.900 After the polytheists had persecuted them. 00:17:12.900 --> 00:17:17.460 Then they fought the polytheists after that with their hands by the sword. 00:17:17.460 --> 00:17:20.579 And with their tongues by disavowing them. 00:17:20.579 --> 00:17:23.059 And were patient in their struggle. 00:17:23.059 --> 00:17:29.299 Indeed, your Lord, after this deed of theirs, is forgiving of what they had done. 00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:34.819 Merciful to them, that He would punish them while they have turned back to Allah and repented.
