WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.209 --> 00:00:08.009 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.630 --> 00:00:12.710 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammar 00:00:14.369 --> 00:00:16.329 Surah An-Nisa 00:00:18.289 --> 00:00:22.609 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.070 --> 00:00:31.670 God does not like bad words to be made public except those who have been unjust 00:00:31.670 --> 00:00:35.630 And God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing 00:01:02.219 --> 00:01:10.950 If you show goodness, hide it, or pardon evil 00:01:11.269 --> 00:01:17.030 For God is Pardoning and Powerful 00:01:33.689 --> 00:01:35.450 To those who are good to you 00:01:35.769 --> 00:01:38.609 So show that as a thank you to him 00:01:39.010 --> 00:01:42.290 Or do not show it and do not show it 00:01:42.650 --> 00:01:45.209 Or forgive those who wronged you 00:01:45.209 --> 00:01:48.209 Do not speak ill of him loudly 00:01:48.569 --> 00:01:51.810 God is still pardoning His creation 00:01:52.049 --> 00:01:53.769 He pardons those who disobey 00:01:54.129 --> 00:01:57.129 He has the ability to take revenge on them 00:01:57.849 --> 00:02:03.049 Indeed, those who disbelieve in God and His messengers 00:02:03.049 --> 00:02:14.210 They want to differentiate between God and His messengers 00:02:14.210 --> 00:02:20.810 They say we believe in each other 00:02:20.810 --> 00:02:23.490 And we disbelieve in each other 00:02:23.490 --> 00:02:29.490 And they want to take a path in between 00:02:29.490 --> 00:02:35.370 Those are the truly unbelievers 00:02:35.370 --> 00:02:41.610 And We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating torment 00:02:42.889 --> 00:02:45.810 Indeed, those who disbelieve in God and His messengers 00:02:45.810 --> 00:02:47.689 Of the Jews and Christians 00:02:48.009 --> 00:02:51.530 They want to differentiate between God and His messengers 00:02:51.530 --> 00:02:53.530 That they deny the messengers of God 00:02:53.849 --> 00:02:58.530 They say we believe this and lie about this 00:02:58.530 --> 00:03:05.009 Just as the Jews did by denying Jesus and Muhammad, may God bless them and grant them peace 00:03:05.009 --> 00:03:07.330 And their belief in Moses 00:03:07.330 --> 00:03:13.129 And just as the Christians did by denying Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:03:13.129 --> 00:03:15.490 And their belief in Jesus 00:03:15.490 --> 00:03:19.490 And they want to take double what they say 00:03:19.810 --> 00:03:25.050 We believe in some prophets and disbelieve in others, leading us to misguidance 00:03:25.050 --> 00:03:28.330 They invite ignorant people to it 00:03:28.330 --> 00:03:31.330 These are the people who disbelieve in me 00:03:31.330 --> 00:03:36.250 And We have prepared for those who deny God and His Messenger a punishment in the Hereafter 00:03:36.250 --> 00:03:39.810 He insults the one who is tortured by him by remaining there forever 00:03:39.810 --> 00:03:44.120 And those who believe in God and His messengers 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:48.800 They did not differentiate between any of them 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.280 They did not differentiate between any of them 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.520 Those will be given their wages 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:03.710 God is Forgiving and Merciful 00:04:03.710 --> 00:04:06.909 And those who believed in the oneness of God 00:04:06.909 --> 00:04:10.469 They acknowledged the prophethood of all his messengers 00:04:10.469 --> 00:04:14.430 They did not lie to each other and believed each other 00:04:14.430 --> 00:04:17.990 These will be given their reward 00:04:18.029 --> 00:04:23.509 For God is ever Forgiving of the sins of those who turn to Him among His creation 00:04:23.509 --> 00:04:25.949 He was still merciful to them 00:04:25.949 --> 00:04:31.500 By His grace upon them by guiding them to the path of truth 00:04:31.500 --> 00:04:40.939 The People of the Book ask you to send down to them a book from heaven 00:04:40.939 --> 00:04:45.139 They asked Moses more than that 00:04:45.139 --> 00:04:48.540 They said, “Show us God clearly.” 00:04:48.579 --> 00:04:52.459 The lightning bolt caught them because of their injustice 00:04:52.459 --> 00:04:59.980 Then they took the calf out of some of the clear evidence that had come to them 00:04:59.980 --> 00:05:03.060 So they pardoned us for that 00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:08.459 And We gave Moses authority, our Prophet 00:05:08.459 --> 00:05:12.779 O Muhammad, the people of the Torah and the Gospel ask you 00:05:12.779 --> 00:05:17.019 To send down to them a book from heaven 00:05:17.579 --> 00:05:25.459 To send down to them a book from heaven, a miracle that all creation will never produce the like of it 00:05:25.459 --> 00:05:30.339 A witness to the truthfulness of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:05:30.339 --> 00:05:34.910 O Muhammad, do not make their question difficult for you 00:05:34.910 --> 00:05:39.029 They are due to their ignorance of God and their audacity against Him 00:05:39.029 --> 00:05:42.350 If you had sent down to them the book they asked you for 00:05:42.350 --> 00:05:44.350 To disobey God's command 00:05:44.589 --> 00:05:51.029 The ancestors of these Jews asked Moses, peace be upon him, greater things than they asked you 00:05:51.029 --> 00:05:56.670 They said to him, “Shall I see God as an eye so that we may see Him and look at Him?” 00:05:56.670 --> 00:05:59.740 They shocked themselves with their injustice 00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:06.259 Then those who asked Moses took the calf after God had given them life 00:06:06.259 --> 00:06:13.220 After the clear indications came to them that they would not see God openly 00:06:13.259 --> 00:06:18.420 Then they acknowledged that the calf was a god while they saw it with their own eyes 00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:25.500 So We pardoned the worshipers of the calf with the repentance they had made in repenting to their Lord by killing themselves 00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:29.300 And We gave Moses a proof that demonstrated his truthfulness 00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:34.850 These are the clear verses that God gave him 00:06:34.850 --> 00:06:43.490 And We raised the Mount above them with their covenant, and We said to them, “Enter the gate prostrating.” 00:06:43.490 --> 00:06:47.850 And We said to them, “Enter the door prostrating.” 00:06:47.850 --> 00:06:51.569 And we said to them, “Do not transgress the Sabbath.” 00:06:51.569 --> 00:06:55.569 And we said to them, “Do not transgress the Sabbath.” 00:06:55.569 --> 00:07:00.689 We took from them a strong covenant 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.680 And We raised the mountain above them because of what they gave God the covenant and covenant 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:08.879 Let us do what is in the Torah 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.079 So they refrained from working 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.560 And We said to them, “Enter the door prostrating.” 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.600 It means a door 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.920 When they were ordered to enter it prostrating 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.360 So they entered, crawling on their poles 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:29.120 And we said to them, “Do not exceed what is permitted for you on the Sabbath.” 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.920 He ordered the people not to eat whales on Saturday 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:34.879 And do not expose them to it 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.990 And I will tell them what is behind that 00:07:38.029 --> 00:07:41.709 We took from them a firm and strict covenant 00:07:41.709 --> 00:07:45.269 That they do what God has commanded them to do 00:07:45.269 --> 00:07:49.569 And they refrain from doing what God has forbidden them 00:07:49.569 --> 00:08:01.439 Because of their breach of their covenant and their disbelief in the verses of God 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:12.399 The prophets killed them unjustly 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.879 And they say: Our hearts are uncircumcised 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:19.560 Rather, God imposed a stamp on them due to their disbelief 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:24.300 They believe only a few 00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:28.259 So they broke their covenants that they had made with God 00:08:28.259 --> 00:08:31.459 And their denial of God’s knowledge and evidence 00:08:31.540 --> 00:08:36.179 Which he used as evidence against them regarding the truthfulness of his prophets and messengers 00:08:36.179 --> 00:08:40.779 And by killing the prophets without deserving of it 00:08:40.779 --> 00:08:46.820 And by what they say, our hearts are covered with a veil and coverings from what they call us to 00:08:46.820 --> 00:08:49.220 Don't understand what you say 00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:50.500 Rather, they lied 00:08:50.500 --> 00:08:53.980 It is not enveloped and does not have coverings on it 00:08:53.980 --> 00:08:57.299 But God put a stamp on it 00:08:57.340 --> 00:09:01.659 These people only have little faith 00:09:01.659 --> 00:09:05.220 They believed in some prophets and some books 00:09:05.220 --> 00:09:07.919 And they lied to each other 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:14.929 And their disbelief and their words against Mary are a great slander 00:09:14.929 --> 00:09:18.769 And the disbelief of those whose description he described 00:09:18.769 --> 00:09:23.129 And their slander against Mary and their accusing her of adultery 00:09:23.129 --> 00:09:25.450 It is a great slander 00:09:25.490 --> 00:09:29.559 Because they slandered her with falsehood 00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:36.720 And their saying: We killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of God 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:42.120 They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.639 But it resembled them 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:52.279 And those who disagree about it are in doubt about it 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:58.720 They have no knowledge of it except following suspicion 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.100 They certainly did not kill him 00:10:03.100 --> 00:10:08.460 And by their saying, “We killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of God.” 00:10:08.460 --> 00:10:11.179 They did not kill Jesus, nor did they crucify him 00:10:11.179 --> 00:10:13.419 But it resembled them 00:10:13.419 --> 00:10:18.659 Then the likeness of Jesus was cast on everyone who was in the house with Jesus 00:10:18.659 --> 00:10:21.659 May God shame the Jews with this 00:10:21.700 --> 00:10:24.740 Those who disagreed about it were Jews 00:10:24.740 --> 00:10:29.179 Those who surrounded Jesus and his companions when they wanted to kill him 00:10:29.179 --> 00:10:31.620 There is no doubt who killed him 00:10:31.620 --> 00:10:38.100 This is because they knew several people in the house before they entered as mentioned 00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:42.059 When they entered upon them, they lost one of them 00:10:42.059 --> 00:10:44.740 So confusion is a difficult matter for them 00:10:44.740 --> 00:10:47.860 But they said we killed Jesus 00:10:47.860 --> 00:10:51.460 He looks like the murdered Iss in the picture 00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:54.700 They had no idea who they killed 00:10:54.700 --> 00:10:56.980 But they followed their guess 00:10:56.980 --> 00:11:00.659 They killed him, thinking that he was Jesus 00:11:00.659 --> 00:11:04.340 They did not kill this man, with certainty that he was Jesus 00:11:04.340 --> 00:11:06.299 Nor is it other than him 00:11:06.299 --> 00:11:10.769 But they were of him in suspicion and suspicion 00:11:10.769 --> 00:11:14.289 Rather, God raised him to Him 00:11:14.289 --> 00:11:19.059 God is Mighty, Wise 00:11:19.059 --> 00:11:21.700 Rather, God raised Christ to Him 00:11:21.700 --> 00:11:24.580 So he purified him from those who disbelieved 00:11:24.580 --> 00:11:28.100 God is still taking revenge on His enemies 00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:32.820 He is wise in his management and management of his creation 00:11:32.820 --> 00:11:40.940 And there is not one of the People of the Book except that they will believe in him before his death 00:11:40.940 --> 00:11:46.929 On the Day of Resurrection, he will be a witness against them 00:11:46.929 --> 00:11:52.049 And none of the People of the Book believed in Jesus before his death 00:11:52.090 --> 00:11:57.570 On the Day of Resurrection, Jesus will be a witness over the People of the Book 00:11:57.570 --> 00:12:00.289 By denying those who lied to him 00:12:00.289 --> 00:12:03.940 And believe those who believe him 00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:07.460 It was unfair on the part of those who were Jews 00:12:07.460 --> 00:12:17.220 We have forbidden to them good things that are permissible for them 00:12:17.220 --> 00:12:23.220 And he turned them away from the path of God a lot 00:12:23.220 --> 00:12:27.100 So we forbade the Jews who broke their covenant 00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:30.299 Good foods and other things 00:12:30.299 --> 00:12:34.340 It was permissible for them to punish them for their injustice 00:12:34.340 --> 00:12:36.940 And they turned away the servants of God from His religion 00:12:36.940 --> 00:12:42.120 And the paths that He has legislated for His servants resonate greatly 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:45.440 He took usury from them and removed it from him 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:50.360 And they ate people’s money unjustly 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:57.179 And We have prepared for the disbelievers among them a painful punishment 00:12:57.179 --> 00:13:00.899 He took usury from them and prevented him from taking usury 00:13:00.899 --> 00:13:04.059 And they ate people’s money unjustly 00:13:04.059 --> 00:13:09.659 And We have appointed for the disbelievers in God and His Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:13:09.659 --> 00:13:15.090 One of these Jews is the painful torment of Hell 00:13:15.090 --> 00:13:20.250 But those who are well-grounded in knowledge and believers are among them 00:13:20.250 --> 00:13:28.690 They believe in what was revealed to you 00:13:28.690 --> 00:13:32.889 And what was sent down before you 00:13:32.889 --> 00:13:36.690 And those who pray 00:13:36.690 --> 00:13:38.889 And those who pay zakat 00:13:38.889 --> 00:13:42.929 And believers in God and the Last Day 00:13:42.929 --> 00:13:53.269 To those We will give a great reward 00:13:53.269 --> 00:13:58.149 Not all of the People of the Book have the same description that has been described to you 00:13:58.149 --> 00:14:03.149 But those who are firmly established in knowledge of God’s rulings 00:14:03.149 --> 00:14:08.909 And the believers among them believe in what has been revealed to you, O Muhammad, of the Book 00:14:08.909 --> 00:14:12.149 And according to what was revealed before you from My books 00:14:12.190 --> 00:14:15.710 And the angels who perform prayer 00:14:15.710 --> 00:14:20.190 Then he returns to the characteristic of those who are firmly rooted in knowledge and says: 00:14:20.190 --> 00:14:26.110 But those among them who are well-grounded in knowledge, believe in the Scriptures, and pay zakat 00:14:26.110 --> 00:14:32.190 And those who believe in the oneness of God, His divinity, and resurrection after death 00:14:32.190 --> 00:14:35.190 Those who have this characteristic 00:14:35.190 --> 00:14:37.909 We will give them a great reward 00:14:37.909 --> 00:14:41.779 And that is heaven 00:14:41.779 --> 00:14:44.779 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
