WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.169 --> 00:00:08.050 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.589 --> 00:00:12.710 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammar 00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:15.960 Surah Al-Kahf 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:22.390 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:22.390 --> 00:00:27.460 And hit them like two men 00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:33.020 We made for one of them two gardens of grapes 00:00:33.259 --> 00:00:38.259 We made for one of them two gardens of grapes 00:00:38.259 --> 00:00:41.259 And We surrounded them with palm trees 00:00:41.259 --> 00:00:44.780 And We placed between them crops 00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:48.780 The two gardens ate and paid off 00:00:48.780 --> 00:00:52.780 She was not wronged by him at all 00:00:52.780 --> 00:00:57.740 And We caused a river to flow through them 00:00:57.740 --> 00:01:02.740 And strike, O Muhammad, these polytheists in God like two men 00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:06.739 We made two vineyards for one of them 00:01:06.739 --> 00:01:09.739 We surrounded these two orchards with palm trees 00:01:09.739 --> 00:01:13.739 We placed crops in the middle of these two orchards 00:01:13.739 --> 00:01:19.739 All gardeners are nourished by its fruit and the trees and vines in it 00:01:19.739 --> 00:01:22.739 She did not miss anything from eating 00:01:22.739 --> 00:01:25.739 Rather, it came about completely and completely 00:01:25.739 --> 00:01:29.739 A river flowed through these two orchards 00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:37.799 And it had fruit, so he told his friend while he was talking to him 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:41.799 He said to his friend while he was interviewing him 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:47.799 I have more wealth than you and I am more powerful in people 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:52.569 And from his gardens there were various types of fruits 00:01:52.569 --> 00:01:56.569 He said: This is the one for whom We made two gardens of grapes 00:01:56.569 --> 00:02:00.569 To his friend who has no money and he is addressing him 00:02:00.569 --> 00:02:05.569 I have more money than you and I have a more powerful clan and family 00:02:05.569 --> 00:02:11.300 And he entered his paradise while he was unjust to himself 00:02:11.300 --> 00:02:16.300 He said, “I do not think that this will ever perish.” 00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:22.300 And I don't think the hour has come 00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:28.300 If I were returned to my Lord, I would find good 00:02:28.300 --> 00:02:35.300 I will find something better than it 00:02:35.300 --> 00:02:39.979 He entered his garden while he was unjust in his disbelief in the resurrection 00:02:39.979 --> 00:02:42.979 Thus, he incurred the wrath of God 00:02:42.979 --> 00:02:45.979 He said when he saw his paradise 00:02:45.979 --> 00:02:49.979 I do not think that this paradise will ever perish 00:02:49.979 --> 00:02:55.979 I do not think that the Hour that God promised His creation will come and happen 00:02:55.979 --> 00:02:58.979 And if I return to my Lord, I will return to Him 00:02:58.979 --> 00:03:03.979 I will find nothing better than this paradise with God 00:03:03.979 --> 00:03:06.979 He did not give me this paradise in this world 00:03:06.979 --> 00:03:11.979 Unless there is a guardian with Him who is better than her in the future, if she is returned to him 00:03:11.979 --> 00:03:17.259 His friend said to him while he was interviewing him 00:03:17.259 --> 00:03:25.259 You have been blessed by the One who created you from dust 00:03:25.259 --> 00:03:35.259 Then from a sperm, then a man 00:03:35.259 --> 00:03:39.259 But He is God, my Lord 00:03:39.259 --> 00:03:43.259 I do not associate anyone with my Lord 00:03:43.259 --> 00:03:48.180 He said to him, who is less than him in money and children 00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:51.180 He addresses him and speaks to him 00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:55.180 You disbelieved in the One who created your father Adam from dust 00:03:55.180 --> 00:03:58.180 Then He created you from the sperm of the man and the woman 00:03:58.180 --> 00:04:01.180 Then count you as human beings together 00:04:01.180 --> 00:04:04.180 A male, not a female 00:04:04.180 --> 00:04:08.180 As for me, I do not disbelieve in my Lord 00:04:08.180 --> 00:04:10.180 But I say 00:04:10.180 --> 00:04:15.180 He is God, my Lord, and I do not associate anyone with my Lord 00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:21.860 And had it not been that when you entered your Paradise, you said whatever He wanted 00:04:21.860 --> 00:04:26.860 No God, there is no power except in God 00:04:26.860 --> 00:04:33.860 If you see me as having less wealth and children than you 00:04:33.860 --> 00:04:41.079 May my Lord give me something better than your Paradise 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:50.079 He sends a reckoning upon her from heaven 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.079 It becomes slippery terrain 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:58.079 Or its water becomes deep 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:02.079 You will not be able to request it 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.660 And now I entered your garden 00:05:05.660 --> 00:05:07.660 So you liked what you saw from him 00:05:07.660 --> 00:05:10.660 I said, God willing, it was 00:05:10.660 --> 00:05:15.660 There is no power over what we try to obey except through Him 00:05:15.660 --> 00:05:17.689 If you see me, man 00:05:17.689 --> 00:05:20.689 I have less money and less children than you 00:05:20.689 --> 00:05:25.689 May my Lord bless me with something better than this garden of yours 00:05:25.689 --> 00:05:30.689 And He will send upon your Paradise a torment from heaven, with which you will be stoned 00:05:30.689 --> 00:05:34.689 Your paradise will become a smooth land with nothing in it 00:05:34.689 --> 00:05:38.689 It is slippery, and no foot can touch it 00:05:38.689 --> 00:05:42.689 And lessons that were not sprouting in them 00:05:42.689 --> 00:05:46.689 Or its water becomes drained and has sunk into the ground 00:05:46.689 --> 00:05:49.689 To be able to reach the water after it has subsided 00:05:49.689 --> 00:05:53.550 And surrounded by its fruit 00:05:53.550 --> 00:06:04.550 He began to turn his palms over what he had spent on it 00:06:04.550 --> 00:06:08.550 It is empty of its thrones 00:06:08.550 --> 00:06:14.550 And he says, “I wish I had not associated anyone with my Lord.” 00:06:14.550 --> 00:06:19.420 Destruction and pandemics befell its fruits 00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:23.420 This infidel began to turn his palms back to stomach 00:06:23.420 --> 00:06:29.420 Longing and regretting the loss of his expenses that he spent in his paradise 00:06:29.420 --> 00:06:33.420 It is empty of its plants and homes 00:06:33.420 --> 00:06:38.420 And he says, “I wish I had not associated anyone with my Lord.” 00:06:38.420 --> 00:06:50.220 He had no group to support him other than God, and he was not victorious 00:06:50.220 --> 00:06:54.220 There is the guardianship of the true God 00:06:54.220 --> 00:07:00.220 It is the best reward and the best punishment 00:07:00.220 --> 00:07:06.819 The owner of these two gardens did not have a group to protect him from God’s punishment 00:07:06.819 --> 00:07:10.819 He was not immune from God's punishment if He punished him 00:07:10.819 --> 00:07:14.819 And those who are loyal to God are the truth 00:07:14.819 --> 00:07:18.819 God is the best reward for those who repent in the present and the future 00:07:18.819 --> 00:07:24.819 The best of them is the outcome in the future if the one who is obedient to him comes to him 00:07:24.819 --> 00:07:40.500 And give them an example of the life of this world as if We sent it down from heaven 00:07:40.500 --> 00:07:46.500 So the plants of the earth mixed with it 00:07:46.500 --> 00:07:52.500 It became a thorn that was blown away by the wind 00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:58.500 God has power over all things 00:07:58.500 --> 00:08:04.389 And strike the lives of these arrogant people almost 00:08:04.389 --> 00:08:07.389 Like rain We sent down from the sky 00:08:07.389 --> 00:08:10.389 The water mixed with the plants of the earth 00:08:10.389 --> 00:08:16.389 The plant became dry and crumbling and was blown away and dispersed by the wind 00:08:16.389 --> 00:08:22.389 God has power over all things, and nothing He wants cannot prevent Him 00:08:22.389 --> 00:08:28.000 Money and children are the adornments of this worldly life 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:38.000 The everlasting righteous deeds are better for your Lord in reward and better in hope 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:44.610 Money and children, O people, are what adorn themselves with in this worldly life 00:08:44.610 --> 00:08:47.610 And not from the number of the afterlife 00:08:47.610 --> 00:08:52.610 And all the good deeds that remain for their doer in the afterlife 00:08:52.610 --> 00:08:59.610 Better, O Muhammad, with your Lord is a reward of money and children, of which these polytheists are proud 00:08:59.610 --> 00:09:01.610 And the best hope 00:09:01.610 --> 00:09:15.539 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 00:09:15.539 --> 00:09:24.539 And they were presented to your Lord in rows. You have come to Us just as We created you the first time 00:09:24.539 --> 00:09:32.179 Rather, you claimed that we will not make an appointment for you 00:09:32.179 --> 00:09:38.179 The Day We remove the mountains from the earth and make them scattered dust 00:09:38.179 --> 00:09:43.179 You see the earth visible, with no mountain or tree covering it 00:09:43.179 --> 00:09:49.179 We gathered them to the stand of reckoning, and we did not leave anyone under the ground 00:09:49.179 --> 00:09:53.179 And present creation to your Lord, O Muhammad Safa 00:09:53.179 --> 00:09:56.179 It is said to them when they were presented to God 00:09:56.179 --> 00:10:04.179 You have come to us, O people, alive as you were when we first created you 00:10:04.179 --> 00:10:11.179 Rather, you claimed that We will not make for you the resurrection after death and the gathering until the Resurrection as a date 00:10:11.179 --> 00:10:35.850 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.” 00:10:35.850 --> 00:10:39.850 And they found what they had done present 00:10:39.850 --> 00:10:44.649 And your Lord does not wrong anyone 00:10:44.649 --> 00:10:49.649 On that day, God placed the book of the deeds of His servants in their hands 00:10:49.649 --> 00:10:52.649 So you see the criminals who polytheize God 00:10:52.649 --> 00:10:57.649 Afraid of what is written about their bad deeds 00:10:57.649 --> 00:11:00.649 And they say if they read their book 00:11:00.649 --> 00:11:02.649 Woe to us! 00:11:02.649 --> 00:11:10.649 What is the matter with this book? It does not keep away any of our sins, whether small or large, without preserving them 00:11:10.649 --> 00:11:17.649 And they found whatever deeds they had done in this world present in their book, written and confirmed 00:11:17.649 --> 00:11:22.649 And your Lord does not reward anyone, O Muhammad, with anything other than what he deserves 00:11:22.649 --> 00:11:26.649 Only those who do good are rewarded with charity 00:11:26.649 --> 00:11:29.649 And no bad deeds except the people of bad deeds 00:11:29.649 --> 00:11:33.289 That is justice 00:11:33.289 --> 00:11:47.289 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. 00:11:47.289 --> 00:11:56.289 Do you take him and his descendants as allies instead of me and they are your enemies? 00:11:56.289 --> 00:12:00.700 Miserable for the wrongdoers 00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:04.700 And remember, O Muhammad, when we said to the angels: 00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:08.700 They prostrated to Adam, so they prostrated except for Iblis 00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:16.700 He did not prostrate to him out of arrogance before God and out of envy of Adam, and he was one of the jinn 00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:20.700 So he departed from the command of his Lord, turned away from it, and turned away 00:12:20.700 --> 00:12:25.700 O sons of Adam, will you seek refuge from someone who was arrogant and envious of your father? 00:12:25.700 --> 00:12:29.700 And you obey him and his descendants instead of God 00:12:29.700 --> 00:12:33.700 With his hostility to you, past and present 00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:40.700 Miserable is the compensation for the disbelievers in God, taking Satan and his offspring as allies instead of God 00:12:40.700 --> 00:12:46.590 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
