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
Surah Al-Hijr
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Tell My servants that I am the Forgiving, the Merciful
And my torment is a painful torment
Tell my servants, O Muhammad
It is I who cover up their sins if they repent of them
The Most Merciful to them is that I punish them after they repent
I also told them that my punishment is for those who persist in sinning
It is a painful torment that has no other similar torment
And tell them about Abraham's guest
When they entered upon him, they said hello
He said, “We are of you and we fear you.”
They said, “Do not be impatient. We give you good tidings of a knowledgeable boy.”
Tell My servants, O Muhammad, about Abraham’s guest among the angels
Those who entered upon Ibrahim Khalil al-Rahman
When their Lord sent them to the people of Lot to destroy them
When they came to Abraham, they said, “Peace.”
Abraham said, “We are afraid of you.”
The guest, Ibrahim, said, “Don’t be afraid.”
We give you good news of a knowledgeable boy
He said, “You gave me good news that old age has befallen me, so what do you give good news to?”
They said: We have given you good tidings of the truth, so do not be one of those who are despondent
He said: Who is certain of the mercy of his Lord except those who are lost?
Abraham said to the angels
You gave me good news that old age has affected me
So what do you preach?
Ibrahim's guest said to him
We gave you good news of certainty
He learned from us that God has given you a knowledgeable boy
Do not be among those who despair of God's grace
They despair of him
But preach what we preached to you
And before the skin
Ibrahim said to the guest
And who despairs of God's mercy
Except for the people who have sinned from what is right
They preferred this to the religion of God
He said: What is the matter with you, O messengers?
They said: We were sent to a criminal people
Except the family of Lot. Indeed, we will save them all
Except for his wife. We have destined that she is among those who will remain behind
Abraham said to the angels
What is the matter with you, O messengers?
The angels said to him
We were sent to a people who have acquired disbelief in God
Except that Lot should be sold for what he owed
We will not destroy them
Rather, We save them from torment
Except Lot's wife
God decided that she was among the rest
Then it is destroyed yet
When the messengers came to the family of Lot
He said, “You are a denial people.”
They said, “Rather, we have brought to you what they were disputing about.”
And we have brought you the truth, and indeed we are truthful
When the messengers of God came to the family of Lot
He told them
We deny you, we do not know you
The apostles said to him
Rather, we are God's messengers
We have brought to you what your people were complaining about that God’s punishment would befall them for their disbelief in Him
We have brought you the certain truth from God
It is torment
And we are truthful in what we told you, O Lot
Because God will destroy your people
So flee from your family in parts of the night and follow their paths
And follow their paths, and let none of you turn away, and prophesy wherever you are commanded
And We decreed to him that matter, that we should turn around these people, cut off in the morning
So your family escaped with the rest of the night
And follow, O Lot, the paths of your people whom you led away
And be behind them
Walk behind them while they are in front of you
And none of you will look behind him
Go where God commands you
We finished that matter with Lot
And We revealed that the last of your people and the first of them
An uprooted monster in the morning of their night
The people of the city came rejoicing
He said: These are my guests, so do not expose me
Fear God and do not be disgraced
The people of the city of Sodom came
They are the people of Lot
When they heard that a guest had invited Lot
They were rejoicing about their arrival in their city
Their desire to ride immorality
Lot said to his people
These people whom you came to seek immorality
My guest
A man has the right to honor his guest
Do not disgrace me, O people, in my guest
Please honor me by not letting them harm you
And fear God in and in yourselves lest His punishment befall you
Do not humiliate me or insult me among them
They said: Did We not prohibit you from the worlds?
He said, “These are my daughters, if you do.”
He told his people
Aren't we tired of adding anyone from the worlds?
Lot said to his people
They married women and had sexual intercourse with them
And do not do what God has forbidden to you, namely sexual intercourse with men
If you do what I command you and follow my command
By your age, they are blinded in their drunkenness
So the shout took them shining
So We made the high therein the lowest and rained stones upon them
We rained down stones of shale upon them
And your life, Muhammad
Your people are from Quraysh
Because of their misguidance and ignorance, they hesitate
Then the thunderbolt of torment seized them when the sun rose
So We made the high of their land its low
We rained down stones of clay on them
What we did to the people of Lot
For signs and connotations for observers who consider signs of God
And a lesson on the consequences of the actions of those who sin and disbelieve in Him
And this city
The city of Sodom
For a clear resident penguin
The one who passes by it sees it and there is nothing hidden from it
Indeed, what we did to the people of Lot
A clear sign and indication for those who believe in God
To take revenge on the infidels
And saving him from his torment are people of faith
The owners of the gathered trees were disbelievers in God
So we took revenge on them
And it is the city of the people of the grove and the city of Lot
A penguin they take on their travels
He shows the one who has completed his integrity through him
The owners of the stone lied to the messengers
And We gave them Our signs, but they turned away from them
They would descend from the mountains into safe houses
So the shout took them in the morning
What they were earning did not avail them
The inhabitants of Hajar lied to the messengers
They are Thamud, a righteous people
We showed them our evidence and arguments
On the truth of what our Messenger, Salih, sent to them
But they turned away from Our signs
They do not consider it and do not learn from it
They would descend from the mountains into homes safe from the punishment of God
It was said that they were safe from destruction, lest their homes, which they had carved out of the mountains, be destroyed
It was said that they were safe from death
Then the cry of doom seized them when they woke up
The punishment of God was not warded off from them by the evil deeds they had committed before that
We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything between them except with truth
And the Hour will come
So browse the beautiful page
Your Lord is the Creator, the All-Knowing
We did not create all creatures
Its heaven and earth
And what is in them and what is between them is only justice and fairness
God Almighty did not wrong any of the nations whose stories were told in this Surah
And the Hour is coming
So turn away from the polytheists of your people in a beautiful way
He pardoned them well
Your Lord is the one who created them and created everything
He knows them and their plans
We have given you seven of the repeated verses and the Great Qur’an
And We have given you seven signs
Which contradicts some of its verses
Some of them follow each other with chapters separating them
It may be possible that he was told two times
Because the stories and news were repeated over and over again
So We gave you seven verses from the Qur’an
And other parts of the Qur’an
Do not extend your eyes to what We have enjoyed with pairs of them
Do not grieve for them and lower your wings to the believers
Do not wish, O Muhammad, for what we have made of the adornments of this world
A luxury item for the rich among your people
Those who do not believe in God and the Last Day
And do not be sad about what they enjoyed, so hasten to them
In the afterlife, you will have something better than him
And be on your side for those who believe in you, follow you, and follow your words
And do not be harsh with them
And say, “I am the clear warner.”
As We revealed to those who divided
Those who made the Qur’an an admonition
And say, O Muhammad, to the polytheists
I am the warner
Who has made clear His warning to you of calamity and punishment
May God bring you down
For persisting in your delusion
Like what God Almighty sent down of calamity and punishment
On the one who divided the Book of God
By disbelieving some and believing others
It is permissible for me to be divided
People of the Two Books
The Torah and the Gospel
Because they divided the Book of God
So the Jews accepted some of the Torah and denied some of it
And you lied about the Gospel and the Criterion
Al-Nassar acknowledged some of the Gospel
And you lied about some of it and the Criterion
It is possible that I am referring to the polytheists from Quraysh
Because it is divided into the Qur’an
He called it some poetry and some fortune-telling
And some legends of the first two
Those who divided the Qur’an and made it into two parts
And they bit him
Their defamation of the Qur’an falsely
They told them it was poetry and magic
And so on
For your sake, we will ask them all
What they were working on
So declare what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists
For your sake, O Muhammad, we will certainly question those who made the Qur’an an admonition
What they were doing in this world according to what We commanded them to do
And while We sent you to them
So he went ahead and recited the Qur’an and conveyed it to them
And stop warring and fighting the polytheists of God
We are sufficient for you against the mockers
Those who make another god with God
They will know
We are sufficient for you against mockers, O Muhammad
Those who mock and ridicule you
Who are made partners with God in worshiping Him
They will know what punishment they will face from God
When they are destined to Him in the resurrection
And what calamity befalls them
We know that you are distressed by what they say
So glorify the praise of your Lord and how many prostrate
And worship your Lord until certainty comes to you
We know, Muhammad
You are distressed by what these polytheists say
Because of their denial of you and their mockery of you
And that embarrasses you
So be horrified by what befalls you about something you hate from them
To thank God, praise Him, and pray
May God protect you from that which concerns you
And worship your Lord until death comes to you
Which you are sure of
