1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 2 00:00:05,169 --> 00:00:08,050 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,740 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 4 00:00:12,919 --> 00:00:15,980 Surah An-Nahl 5 00:00:18,570 --> 00:00:22,670 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 6 00:00:23,660 --> 00:00:29,620 And it will be said to those who fear, “What has your Lord sent down?” 7 00:00:29,940 --> 00:00:31,940 They said good 8 00:00:32,380 --> 00:00:36,979 For those who do good in this world is good 9 00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:40,619 And the home of the Hereafter is better 10 00:00:41,060 --> 00:00:44,439 And blessed be the abode of the righteous 11 00:00:45,820 --> 00:00:47,820 The other team was told 12 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,200 What has your Lord sent down? 13 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,640 They said: Send down goodness 14 00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:58,479 For those who believe in God in this world and His Messenger is an honor from God 15 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,640 The home of the Hereafter is better for them than the home of this world 16 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,560 And how blessed is the abode of those who fear God in this world 17 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,799 So fear His punishment by performing His obligations and avoid His sins 18 00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:25,010 They will enter the Gardens of Eden, beneath which rivers will flow 19 00:01:25,450 --> 00:01:30,569 They have whatever they want in it 20 00:01:31,170 --> 00:01:34,969 Thus God rewards the righteous 21 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,239 Orchards of shrines inhabited by rivers flowing beneath their trees 22 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:50,400 Those who do good in this world will have whatever their souls desire in the Gardens of Eden 23 00:01:51,189 --> 00:01:57,950 God also rewards those who did good in this world with what was described to you, people 24 00:01:58,510 --> 00:02:04,670 Thus God rewards those who fear Him by performing His obligations and who abstain from His disobedience 25 00:02:06,260 --> 00:02:13,900 Those whom the angels take to death are good, they say 26 00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:23,300 They say: Peace be upon you. Enter Paradise for what you did 27 00:02:25,069 --> 00:02:31,069 Thus God rewards the righteous whose souls are taken by the angels of God 28 00:02:31,669 --> 00:02:36,349 They are good because God blesses them with clean faith 29 00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:42,509 She says to them, “Peace be upon you, go to heaven.” 30 00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:46,870 Good news from God delivered to them by angels 31 00:02:48,699 --> 00:02:58,180 Do they wait for the angels to come to them or for the command of your Lord to come? 32 00:02:58,819 --> 00:03:11,620 So did those before them, and God did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves 33 00:03:13,580 --> 00:03:19,979 Are these polytheists waiting for the angels to come to them and take their souls? 34 00:03:20,539 --> 00:03:24,259 Or the command of your Lord will come to gather them to the place of resurrection 35 00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:32,180 As these people do, they wait for God’s angels to take their souls or carry out God’s command 36 00:03:32,780 --> 00:03:35,460 Their ancestors were disbelievers in God 37 00:03:36,139 --> 00:03:38,979 And God did not wrong them by causing His wrath 38 00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:42,139 But they were wronging themselves 39 00:03:42,580 --> 00:03:48,780 By their disobedience to their Lord and their disbelief in Him until they deserved His punishment, so He hastened them 40 00:03:50,229 --> 00:03:59,710 Then the evils of what they did befall them, and what they used to mock overtakes them 41 00:04:01,180 --> 00:04:09,860 Those of the past nations who did what these polytheists of Quraysh did were subject to the punishments for their sins 42 00:04:10,580 --> 00:04:14,780 And the punishment of God befell them, which they used to mock 43 00:04:16,629 --> 00:04:28,949 Those who associate polytheists say, “If God had willed, neither we nor our fathers would have worshiped anything other than Him.” 44 00:04:29,470 --> 00:04:38,029 Neither we nor our parents have been deprived of anything besides Him 45 00:04:38,509 --> 00:04:49,990 So did those before them. Is there anything other than the duty of the messengers except to deliver the clear message? 46 00:04:51,779 --> 00:05:00,100 Those who associate God with God said, “We do not worship these idols except because God has approved of our worshiping them.” 47 00:05:00,699 --> 00:05:04,459 We do not forbid what we have forbidden from the lakes and deserts 48 00:05:04,980 --> 00:05:10,459 However, God wanted us and our fathers to prohibit it, and He was pleased with it 49 00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:18,180 So did those before them from the polytheist nations, whose Sunnah these people followed 50 00:05:18,620 --> 00:05:24,060 They said the same thing as they said, and they continued their path in denying the Messengers of God 51 00:05:24,620 --> 00:05:27,819 And follow the actions of their misguided fathers 52 00:05:28,379 --> 00:05:34,019 Do our messengers have any duty other than to convey to you the message we have sent to you? 53 00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:40,740 A communication that explains its meaning to the person who communicates it and is understood by the person to whom it is sent 54 00:05:42,410 --> 00:05:53,930 And We have sent to every nation a Messenger to worship God and shun the tyrant 55 00:05:54,410 --> 00:06:01,610 Among them are those whom God has guided, and among them are those who have been led astray 56 00:06:02,050 --> 00:06:10,250 So travel through the land and see what was the end of the deniers 57 00:06:11,689 --> 00:06:17,009 We have sent, O people, to every nation that preceded you a messenger 58 00:06:17,529 --> 00:06:22,410 That they worship God alone, without partners, and devote obedience to Him alone 59 00:06:23,009 --> 00:06:26,850 Stay away from Satan and beware of him tempting you 60 00:06:27,449 --> 00:06:31,250 Among those to whom We sent Our Messenger are those who guide God 61 00:06:31,810 --> 00:06:35,170 So grant him success in believing in Him and acting in obedience to Him 62 00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:38,370 Others were misled 63 00:06:38,930 --> 00:06:41,569 So they disbelieved in God and denied His Messenger 64 00:06:42,250 --> 00:06:48,850 If you people do not believe our Messenger in what he tells you about these nations 65 00:06:49,370 --> 00:06:52,610 So they walked in the land they used to live 66 00:06:53,089 --> 00:06:55,769 So look at the traces of God in them 67 00:06:56,250 --> 00:07:00,449 How did their denial of the Messenger of God follow them? 68 00:07:01,980 --> 00:07:10,220 If you strive to guide them, then God does not guide those who go astray 69 00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:15,500 And they have no helpers 70 00:07:17,269 --> 00:07:22,550 O Muhammad, if you are keen to guide these polytheists to faith in God 71 00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:25,550 God does not guide those whom He leads astray 72 00:07:26,149 --> 00:07:28,350 Don't stress yourself about it 73 00:07:28,910 --> 00:07:34,189 And they have no helper to help them from God if He wants to punish them 74 00:07:55,149 --> 00:07:59,949 These polytheists from Quraish swore by God as hard as they could 75 00:08:00,389 --> 00:08:02,430 God does not resurrect someone who dies 76 00:08:03,269 --> 00:08:06,509 And they lied about the oaths they swore 77 00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:09,550 Rather, God will resurrect him after his death 78 00:08:10,269 --> 00:08:12,269 He promised to send them 79 00:08:12,949 --> 00:08:14,069 He promised his servants 80 00:08:14,509 --> 00:08:16,709 God does not break his promise 81 00:08:17,579 --> 00:08:21,819 But most of the Quraysh do not know God’s promise to His servants 82 00:08:22,420 --> 00:08:27,180 He will raise them alive on the Day of Resurrection after they die 83 00:08:31,170 --> 00:08:33,970 Rather, God will resurrect those who die 84 00:08:34,370 --> 00:08:36,129 A true promise 85 00:08:36,769 --> 00:08:42,460 To show those who claim that God does not resurrect those who die 86 00:08:42,940 --> 00:08:45,340 And for others in which they differ 87 00:08:45,820 --> 00:08:48,860 From God reviving His creation after their annihilation 88 00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:52,220 Let those who deny the truth of this know 89 00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:55,340 That they would resurrect God after his death 90 00:08:55,820 --> 00:08:57,820 And they will resurrect God after his death 91 00:08:58,299 --> 00:09:00,299 And they will resurrect God after his death 92 00:09:00,299 --> 00:09:02,299 And let them know that this is true 93 00:09:02,940 --> 00:09:04,940 They were lying in what they said 94 00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:07,500 God does not resurrect someone who dies 95 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:18,799 Our saying to something, if we want it, is that we say to it, “Be,” and it is 96 00:09:20,220 --> 00:09:23,100 If we want to resurrect someone who dies 97 00:09:23,740 --> 00:09:25,740 Don't be tired of us 98 00:09:26,220 --> 00:09:29,860 We only say to him, “Be,” and he is 99 00:09:30,179 --> 00:09:34,980 And those who emigrated for the sake of God after they had been wronged 100 00:09:35,379 --> 00:09:39,220 We will surely give them good news in this world 101 00:09:39,860 --> 00:09:42,740 And the reward of the Hereafter is greater 102 00:09:43,299 --> 00:09:46,500 If only they knew 103 00:09:47,059 --> 00:09:53,700 Those who are patient and put their trust in their Lord 104 00:09:55,549 --> 00:09:58,509 And those who left their people and their homes 105 00:09:58,909 --> 00:10:01,710 Enmity toward God for their disbelief 106 00:10:02,190 --> 00:10:04,190 To others besides them 107 00:10:04,509 --> 00:10:09,230 After what happened to them in their souls, which is hateful to God 108 00:10:09,789 --> 00:10:13,870 Let us settle them in this world in a good abode that pleases them 109 00:10:14,429 --> 00:10:18,590 And God’s reward to them for their migration therein is greater 110 00:10:19,070 --> 00:10:21,710 Because his reward is Paradise 111 00:10:22,350 --> 00:10:25,149 These are the ones we have described 112 00:10:25,470 --> 00:10:29,549 They are the ones who are patient for the sake of God over what befalls them in this world 113 00:10:29,950 --> 00:10:32,750 In God they trust in their affairs 114 00:10:34,529 --> 00:10:41,490 We did not send before you except men to whom We revealed 115 00:10:41,889 --> 00:10:48,929 So ask the people of remembrance if you do not know 116 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,559 We did not send before you, O Muhammad, to any nation 117 00:10:55,039 --> 00:10:59,679 To pray for our unification and fulfillment of our commands and prohibitions 118 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,679 Except for men from the children of Adam to whom We reveal 119 00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:09,759 And if you do not know that those whom We were sending to those before you were from the nations 120 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,879 Men from the sons of Adam, like Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace 121 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,440 And you said they are angels 122 00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:22,960 So ask the people of remembrance who have read the books before them 123 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,200 Such as the Torah and the Gospel 124 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,000 And other books of God that He sent down to His servants 125 00:11:31,570 --> 00:11:33,570 With clear evidence and truth 126 00:11:34,450 --> 00:11:47,169 And We sent down to you the Remembrance so that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them 127 00:11:47,490 --> 00:11:50,929 Perhaps they will think 128 00:11:52,580 --> 00:11:56,500 We did not send before you except men to whom We revealed 129 00:11:57,139 --> 00:12:00,179 We sent them with evidence, arguments and books 130 00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:04,080 And We sent down to you, O Muhammad, this Qur’an 131 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,120 A reminder to people and a preaching to them 132 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,639 So that they may know what was revealed to them of that 133 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,759 And let them remember therein and consider what We have revealed to you 134 00:12:17,549 --> 00:12:29,309 Do those who plot evil deeds feel safe that God will cause the earth to swallow them up? 135 00:12:29,309 --> 00:12:34,590 Or the torment comes to them from where they do not feel 136 00:12:35,070 --> 00:12:41,870 Or he takes them to task, but they are not miraculous 137 00:12:42,350 --> 00:12:51,149 Or he takes them out of fear, for your Lord is Most Compassionate, Most Merciful 138 00:12:52,690 --> 00:12:58,450 Are those who oppressed the believers among the companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, safe? 139 00:12:58,929 --> 00:13:01,490 They wanted to seduce them from their religion 140 00:13:01,970 --> 00:13:05,809 May God cause the earth to swallow them because of their disbelief and polytheism 141 00:13:06,370 --> 00:13:10,210 Or God's punishment comes to them from a place where they do not feel it 142 00:13:10,690 --> 00:13:12,769 He does not know where it comes from 143 00:13:13,409 --> 00:13:16,210 Or destroy them in their behavior in the country 144 00:13:16,529 --> 00:13:18,610 And their hesitation in their travels 145 00:13:19,169 --> 00:13:23,809 They will not be able to do that to God if He wants to take them as well 146 00:13:24,450 --> 00:13:26,370 Or destroy them with fear 147 00:13:26,929 --> 00:13:30,289 This is due to a decrease in their limbs and sides 148 00:13:30,769 --> 00:13:34,610 One thing after another until they are all destroyed 149 00:13:35,330 --> 00:13:41,490 Indeed, if your Lord does not punish those who plot evil deeds with a hastening punishment for them 150 00:13:42,049 --> 00:13:45,970 And death took them, and some of them diminished in each other's influence 151 00:13:46,529 --> 00:13:49,330 He is kind to his creation and merciful to them 152 00:13:50,049 --> 00:13:54,289 And because of His compassion and mercy towards them, the earth did not cause them to collapse 153 00:13:54,769 --> 00:13:56,769 Their torment was not hastened 154 00:13:57,250 --> 00:14:00,610 But it frightens them and diminishes them with death 155 00:14:02,340 --> 00:14:16,580 Have they not seen what God has created, whose shadows emanate from the right and the left? 156 00:14:16,580 --> 00:14:18,740 Prostration to God 157 00:14:19,059 --> 00:14:23,139 They prostrated to God while they were bowing down 158 00:14:24,620 --> 00:14:28,059 Have they not seen those who plotted evil deeds? 159 00:14:28,539 --> 00:14:31,340 To what God created of a standing body 160 00:14:31,659 --> 00:14:34,299 Tree, mountain, etc 161 00:14:34,860 --> 00:14:37,899 His shadow returns from place to place 162 00:14:38,379 --> 00:14:40,620 It is the beginning of the day anyway 163 00:14:41,019 --> 00:14:42,379 Then it shrinks 164 00:14:42,779 --> 00:14:46,379 Then he returns to another state at the end of the day 165 00:14:47,019 --> 00:14:50,539 It is the shadows of these things that prostrate 166 00:14:51,019 --> 00:14:55,820 Its prostration is its tilt and rotation from side to side 167 00:14:56,220 --> 00:14:58,220 And hand to hand 168 00:14:58,860 --> 00:15:01,100 They prostrate while they are humble 169 00:15:02,690 --> 00:15:11,730 To God prostrates whatever is in the heavens and whatever living creature is on the earth 170 00:15:12,210 --> 00:15:23,299 Of animals and angels, and they are not arrogant 171 00:15:24,580 --> 00:15:32,019 To God submits and submits to His command whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth, every animal that moves upon it 172 00:15:32,419 --> 00:15:34,899 And the angels in the heavens 173 00:15:35,220 --> 00:15:39,059 They are not too arrogant to submit to Him in obedience 174 00:15:40,259 --> 00:15:49,139 They fear their Lord above them and do what they are commanded 175 00:15:50,429 --> 00:15:54,110 He fears those angels in the heavens 176 00:15:54,350 --> 00:15:56,429 And there is no living creature on earth 177 00:15:56,909 --> 00:16:01,549 They fear their Lord above them, lest He punish them if they disobey His command 178 00:16:01,549 --> 00:16:06,429 They do what God commands them to do and fulfill His rights
