In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari
Surat Al-Sajdah
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Say, “The Angel of Death, who has appointed you, will cause you to die, then to your Lord you will be returned.”
Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists
Your number is fulfilled by taking your souls, the Angel of Death, who has been appointed to take your souls
Then to your Lord on the Day of Resurrection you will be returned alive
So the good among you will be rewarded with his good deeds, and the evildoer with his bad deeds
If only you could see, when the criminals bowed their heads before their Lord, our Lord, we have seen and heard, so return us to do righteousness. We are certain.
Oh Muhammad, if only you could see these criminals
When they bowed their heads before their Lord, ashamed of Him, they said:
O our Lord, we have seen what we used to lie about as a result of Your punishment
We heard you confirm what your messengers were commanding us to do in this world
Bring us back to this world where we will work in obedience to you
We have now realized that we were ignorant of Your Oneness in this world
And it is not appropriate for anyone but you to be worshipped
But what I say is true: I will fill Hell with heaven and all people
And if We had wished, O Muhammad, We could have come to these polytheists of God among your people
And other people who disbelieve in God guide her and grant her success in believing in God
But it was necessary for me to punish them
I will fill Hell with heaven and all people with sins and disbelief in God among them
So taste what you have forgotten about this day of yours. Indeed, we have forgotten you
And taste the torment of eternity for what you did
These polytheists will be told if they enter Hell
Taste God's punishment because you forgot the meeting of this day of yours
Today we left you in Hell
They are also told
Taste a torment in which you will abide forever
Because you used to do disobedience to God in this world
Only those who believe in Our verses are those who, when they are reminded of them, fall down in prostration and glorify the praise of their Lord, and they are not arrogant.
What is true of our arguments and the verses of our book
Except for the people who, if they are reminded of it and are exhorted
They bowed down to God, prostrating with their faces humiliated
They glorified God in their prostration
They absolve him of what the unbelievers describe him as
They do this and they are not too arrogant to prostrate to Him
Praise and humiliate Him
Step aside from those who believe in the signs of God
It rises from their beds where they lie down to sleep
They do not sleep because of the night prayers
They pray to their Lord in fear and hope that He will pardon them
And from what We have provided them, they spend in the cause of God
They fulfill the rights that God has imposed on them
No soul will learn what is hidden from them as a reward for their eyes
Reward for what they did
No soul knows another soul
God did not hide from her those whose description Jalthanahu described in these two verses
Which will bring their eyes closer to him in Paradise on the Day of Resurrection
As a reward for their deeds that they did in this world
Is he who is a believer like he who is a transgressor? They are not equal
Is this lying infidel like this believer in God and the one who believes in His promise and threat?
No, the disbelievers in God and the believers do not treat each other equally with Him
As for those who believe and do righteous deeds, they will have Gardens of refuge for what they used to do
As for those who believed God and His Messenger and did what God and His Messenger commanded them
They will have gardens of dwellings in which they will live in the afterlife and where they will seek refuge
They sent down what He sent down to them as a reward from Him for what they did in this world in obedience to Him
As for those who are disobedient, their abode is the Fire
Whatever they wanted to get out of it, they were put back in it and they were told to taste it
And it was said to them, “Taste the torment of the Fire, which you used to deny.”
As for those who disbelieve in God, their abode to which they will seek refuge in the Hereafter is Hell
Whatever they wanted to get out of it, they were put back in it and they were told, “Taste the torment of the Fire.”
What you used to deny in this world is that God prepared it for those who associate polytheism with Him
And We will certainly make them taste the lesser torment rather than the greater torment, so that they may return
And We will make them taste the punishment that is less than the calamities in this world
Either severe famine, murder, or misfortunes befall them
Without the greater torment on the Day of Resurrection, so that they may return and repent by being tormented by the lesser torment
Who is more unjust than he who is reminded of the signs of his Lord and then turns away from them?
We are vengeful criminals
Which people are more unjust to themselves?
Of those whom God has advised with His proofs, His Book, and His Messengers
Then turn away from all of that
We are among those who committed sins and committed evil deeds, taking revenge
We gave Moses the Book, so do not be in doubt about meeting him
And We made it a guidance for the Children of Israel
And We gave Moses the Torah just as We gave you the Criterion, O Muhammad
Don't be in any doubt about meeting him
We made Moses a guide for the children of Israel, who were guided by following him
And they achieve the truth by imitating it
And We made of them imams who guided by Our command when they were patient and had certain faith in Our signs
And We made of the Children of Israel imams and leaders in goodness to be followed
They guide their followers if they are patient in obeying us
They distanced themselves from the pleasures and desires of this world
They were certain of what our arguments showed them
And people who believe what has been revealed to them of the truth
It is your Lord who will decide between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding what they differed over
Indeed, your Lord, O Muhammad, will make clear to all His creation on the Day of Resurrection
They differed in matters of religion and resurrection in this world
And reward and punishment
He separates them with a separate judgement
By offering Paradise to the people of truth
And for the people of falsehood is Hell
Haven't they been overtaken by our destruction over the past centuries before them?
They walk in their country and their land
Like Ad and Thamud
Indeed, in the emptiness of the dwellings of the centuries whom We destroyed before these deniers
For signs for them
Do they not hear God’s warnings and His reminding them of His verses?
Will they not see?
Have these deniers not seen the resurrection after death?
It is our ability to bring water to the dry, thick land that has no plants
With that water that we drive to it, we produce green crops that their livestock eat from
Their bodies are nourished with it and they live with it
Don't they see it with their own eyes?
So they know that the power with which they did it
It is not impossible for me to revive the dead with it
These polytheists say to God
When will this ruling come between us and you?
If you are honest in what you say
That we are being punished for denying Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
Tell them, O Muhammad
The day of judgment and the coming of torment
The faith that they proclaim at that time will not benefit those who disbelieve in God and His signs
Nor do they delay repentance and review
So, O Muhammad, turn away from these polytheists
And wait for what God will do with them
They are waiting for the torment we promise them and the coming of the Hour
