1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,200
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
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 --> 00:00:16,190
Surah al-Qari'ah (The Striking Calamity).

5
00:00:18,890 --> 00:00:22,850
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

6
00:00:22,850 --> 00:00:24,530
The Striking Calamity.

7
00:00:24,530 --> 00:00:26,289
What is the Striking Calamity?

8
00:00:26,289 --> 00:00:29,530
“Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!” (101:3)

9
00:00:29,530 --> 00:00:32,530
The Day when people will be.

10
00:00:32,570 --> 00:00:36,049
Like moths dispersed.

11
00:00:36,049 --> 00:00:42,289
“And the mountains will become as carded wool.” (101:5)

12
00:00:43,820 --> 00:00:45,299
The Striking Calamity.

13
00:00:45,299 --> 00:00:49,219
Meaning the Hour whose terror strikes the hearts of people.

14
00:00:49,219 --> 00:00:53,060
And the magnitude of the affliction that descends upon them at that time.

15
00:00:53,060 --> 00:00:56,619
That is a morning after which there is no night.

16
00:00:56,619 --> 00:00:58,299
What is the Striking Calamity?

17
00:00:58,299 --> 00:01:00,179
What is this Hour?

18
00:01:00,179 --> 00:01:02,939
Whose terror strikes all of creation.

19
00:01:02,979 --> 00:01:06,659
Meaning, how great, how terrible, and how horrifying it is.

20
00:01:06,659 --> 00:01:10,780
And what could make you know, O Muhammad, what the Striking Calamity is?

21
00:01:10,780 --> 00:01:14,420
The Striking Calamity is the Day when people will be like moths.

22
00:01:14,420 --> 00:01:17,939
Which are those that cast themselves into fire and lamps.

23
00:01:17,939 --> 00:01:20,700
They are neither mosquitoes nor flies.

24
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:24,019
And by "dispersed," it means scattered.

25
00:01:24,019 --> 00:01:29,060
And the mountains will be like carded wool.

26
00:01:29,060 --> 00:01:33,939
“Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),” (101:6)

27
00:01:33,939 --> 00:01:37,180
He shall be in a pleasant life.

28
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:41,739
“But as for him whose scales are light,” (101:8)

29
00:01:41,739 --> 00:01:45,459
His refuge will be the Abyss (Hawiyah).

30
00:01:45,459 --> 00:01:48,540
“Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -” (101:10)

31
00:01:48,540 --> 00:01:52,450
A scorching Fire.

32
00:01:52,450 --> 00:01:55,810
As for him whose scales of good deeds are heavy.

33
00:01:55,810 --> 00:01:59,689
He shall be in a life he is pleased with in Paradise.

34
00:01:59,689 --> 00:02:02,609
And as for him whose scale of good deeds is light.

35
00:02:02,609 --> 00:02:05,329
His refuge and dwelling place will be the Abyss.

36
00:02:05,329 --> 00:02:09,780
Into which he will fall headlong into Hell.

37
00:02:09,780 --> 00:02:12,180
The Fire is described as a "mother" (ummah).

38
00:02:12,180 --> 00:02:16,500
Because it has become his refuge, just as a mother shelters her child.

39
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:20,259
Since he has no other refuge, it is made for him.

40
00:02:20,259 --> 00:02:22,620
In the position of a mother.

41
00:02:22,620 --> 00:02:25,900
And what could make you know, O Muhammad, what the Abyss is?

42
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:28,580
Then He explained what it is, saying:

43
00:02:28,580 --> 00:02:31,979
A fire that has been intensely heated by fuel.
