00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:05.169 --> 00:00:08.050
A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:12.740
Abridged by Dr. Aqil Ibn Salim al-Shammar.

00:00:12.740 --> 00:00:16.440
Surah al-Duha.

00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:22.679
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:24.160
By the morning brightness.

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.760
And by the night when it covers with darkness.

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.600
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased.

00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:35.179
“And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,” (93:4)

00:00:35.179 --> 00:00:39.560
“And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.” (93:5)

00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:44.119
Our Lord, may His majesty be exalted, swears by the morning brightness.

00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:46.119
Which refers to the entire day.

00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:50.259
And by the night when it settles over its inhabitants and remains in its darkness.

00:00:50.259 --> 00:00:54.219
Your Lord has not abandoned you, O Muhammad, nor has He detested you.

00:00:54.539 --> 00:00:58.380
And the Hereafter, and what Allah has prepared for you therein,

00:00:58.380 --> 00:01:01.740
Is better for you than this worldly life and all that it contains.

00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:04.939
So do not grieve over what you have missed of it,

00:01:04.939 --> 00:01:08.780
For what is with Allah for you is better than that.

00:01:08.780 --> 00:01:12.459
And your Lord will surely give you, O Muhammad, in the Hereafter,

00:01:12.459 --> 00:01:16.540
From the abundance of His favors until you are satisfied.

00:01:16.540 --> 00:01:21.659
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?

00:01:21.659 --> 00:01:28.260
And find you lost and guide you?

00:01:28.260 --> 00:01:33.659
And find you poor and make you self-sufficient?

00:01:33.659 --> 00:01:38.400
Did your Lord not find you, O Muhammad, an orphan?

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.879
So He provided you with a refuge to dwell in and a home to settle in.

00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.519
And He found you upon a state other than that which you are upon today,

00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.719
Among a people who were astray, so He guided you.

00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.879
And He found you poor, so He enriched you.

00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:58.359
“Therefor the orphan oppress not,” (93:9)

00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:03.920
“Therefor the beggar drive not away,” (93:10)

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:10.639
“Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.” (93:11)

00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.080
As for the orphan, O Muhammad, do not oppress him,

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.560
By taking away his rights due to your power over him.

00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:21.599
And as for the one who asks of you out of need, do not repel him,

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.199
But rather feed him and fulfill his need.

00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.319
“Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.” (93:11)

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.590
Meaning: remember Him.

00:02:31.590 --> 00:02:35.069
