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-Shammar
Surah Al-Kahf
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
And hit them like two men
We made for one of them two gardens of grapes
And We surrounded them with palm trees
And We placed between them crops
The two gardens ate and paid off
She was not wronged by him at all
And We caused a river to flow through them
And strike, O Muhammad, these polytheists in God like two men
We made two vineyards for one of them
We surrounded these two orchards with palm trees
We placed crops in the middle of these two orchards
All gardeners are nourished by its fruit and the trees and vines in it
She did not miss anything from eating
Rather, it came about completely and completely
A river flowed through these two orchards
And it had fruit, so he told his friend while he was talking to him
He said to his friend while he was interviewing him
I have more wealth than you and I am more powerful in people
And from his gardens there were various types of fruits
He said: This is the one for whom We made two gardens of grapes
To his friend who has no money and he is addressing him
I have more money than you and I have a more powerful clan and family
And he entered his paradise while he was unjust to himself
He said, “I do not think that this will ever perish.”
And I don't think the hour has come
If I were returned to my Lord, I would find good
I will find something better than it
He entered his garden while he was unjust in his disbelief in the resurrection
Thus, he incurred the wrath of God
He said when he saw his paradise
I do not think that this paradise will ever perish
I do not think that the Hour that God promised His creation will come and happen
And if I return to my Lord, I will return to Him
I will find nothing better than this paradise with God
He did not give me this paradise in this world
Unless there is a guardian with Him who is better than her in the future, if she is returned to him
His friend said to him while he was interviewing him
You have been blessed by the One who created you from dust
Then from a sperm, then a man
But He is God, my Lord
I do not associate anyone with my Lord
He said to him, who is less than him in money and children
He addresses him and speaks to him
You disbelieved in the One who created your father Adam from dust
Then He created you from the sperm of the man and the woman
Then count you as human beings together
A male, not a female
As for me, I do not disbelieve in my Lord
But I say
He is God, my Lord, and I do not associate anyone with my Lord
And had it not been that when you entered your Paradise, you said whatever He wanted
No God, there is no power except in God
If you see me as having less wealth and children than you
May my Lord give me something better than your Paradise
He sends a reckoning upon her from heaven
It becomes slippery terrain
Or its water becomes deep
You will not be able to request it
And now I entered your garden
So you liked what you saw from him
I said, God willing, it was
There is no power over what we try to obey except through Him
If you see me, man
I have less money and less children than you
May my Lord bless me with something better than this garden of yours
And He will send upon your Paradise a torment from heaven, with which you will be stoned
Your paradise will become a smooth land with nothing in it
It is slippery, and no foot can touch it
And lessons that were not sprouting in them
Or its water becomes drained and has sunk into the ground
To be able to reach the water after it has subsided
And surrounded by its fruit
He began to turn his palms over what he had spent on it
It is empty of its thrones
And he says, “I wish I had not associated anyone with my Lord.”
Destruction and pandemics befell its fruits
This infidel began to turn his palms back to stomach
Longing and regretting the loss of his expenses that he spent in his paradise
It is empty of its plants and homes
And he says, “I wish I had not associated anyone with my Lord.”
He had no group to support him other than God, and he was not victorious
There is the guardianship of the true God
It is the best reward and the best punishment
The owner of these two gardens did not have a group to protect him from God’s punishment
He was not immune from God's punishment if He punished him
And those who are loyal to God are the truth
God is the best reward for those who repent in the present and the future
The best of them is the outcome in the future if the one who is obedient to him comes to him
And give them an example of the life of this world as if We sent it down from heaven
So the plants of the earth mixed with it
It became a thorn that was blown away by the wind
God has power over all things
And strike the lives of these arrogant people almost
Like rain We sent down from the sky
The water mixed with the plants of the earth
The plant became dry and crumbling and was blown away and dispersed by the wind
God has power over all things, and nothing He wants cannot prevent Him
Money and children are the adornments of this worldly life
The everlasting righteous deeds are better for your Lord in reward and better in hope
Money and children, O people, are what adorn themselves with in this worldly life
And not from the number of the afterlife
And all the good deeds that remain for their doer in the afterlife
Better, O Muhammad, with your Lord is a reward of money and children, of which these polytheists are proud
And the best hope
And the day we moved the mountains and you saw the land sticking out, we gathered them together and did not leave any of them behind
And they were presented to your Lord in rows. You have come to Us just as We created you the first time
Rather, you claimed that we will not make an appointment for you
The Day We remove the mountains from the earth and make them scattered dust
You see the earth visible, with no mountain or tree covering it
We gathered them to the stand of reckoning, and we did not leave anyone under the ground
And present creation to your Lord, O Muhammad Safa
It is said to them when they were presented to God
You have come to us, O people, alive as you were when we first created you
Rather, you claimed that We will not make for you the resurrection after death and the gathering until the Resurrection as a date
And the book was placed, and you saw the criminals fearful of what was in it, and they said, “Woe to us, what is the matter with this book? It does not leave out the small or the big without enumerating them.”
And they found what they had done present
And your Lord does not wrong anyone
On that day, God placed the book of the deeds of His servants in their hands
So you see the criminals who polytheize God
Afraid of what is written about their bad deeds
And they say if they read their book
Woe to us!
What is the matter with this book? It does not keep away any of our sins, whether small or large, without preserving them
And they found whatever deeds they had done in this world present in their book, written and confirmed
And your Lord does not reward anyone, O Muhammad, with anything other than what he deserves
Only those who do good are rewarded with charity
And no bad deeds except the people of bad deeds
That is justice
And when We said to the angels, “Prostrate to Adam,” they prostrated, except for Iblis. He was one of the jinn, and he disobeyed the command of his Lord.
Do you take him and his descendants as allies instead of me and they are your enemies?
Miserable for the wrongdoers
And remember, O Muhammad, when we said to the angels:
They prostrated to Adam, so they prostrated except for Iblis
He did not prostrate to him out of arrogance before God and out of envy of Adam, and he was one of the jinn
So he departed from the command of his Lord, turned away from it, and turned away
O sons of Adam, will you seek refuge from someone who was arrogant and envious of your father?
And you obey him and his descendants instead of God
With his hostility to you, past and present
Miserable is the compensation for the disbelievers in God, taking Satan and his offspring as allies instead of God
