Doth not thy Lord suffice, since He is Witness over all things?” (41:53) 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:42.399 We will show these deniers Our signs in the horizons. 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.120 Which is the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.160 In the regions of Makkah and its outskirts. 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:49.680 And in their own selves. 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:51.600 Which is the conquest of Makkah. 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:56.040 So that they may know the truth of what We revealed to Muhammad. 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.399 Is it not sufficient regarding your Lord, O Muhammad? 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:03.120 That He is a witness over everything His creation does. 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:07.139 And He is the One who recompenses them for their deeds. 00:06:07.139 --> 00:06:14.540 “How! Are they still in doubt about the meeting with their Lord? Lo! Is not He surrounding all things?” (41:54) 00:06:14.579 --> 00:06:23.180 “How! Are they still in doubt about the meeting with their Lord? Lo! Is not He surrounding all things?” (41:54) 00:06:23.180 --> 00:06:30.019 Indeed, these deniers of the signs of Allah are in doubt about the resurrection after death. 00:06:30.019 --> 00:06:35.699 Indeed, Allah is encompassing everything He created with His knowledge. 00:06:35.699 --> 00:06:42.639 Nothing of what He wills escapes His knowledge, so it does not elude Him. 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.639 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
