WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.080 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.589 --> 00:00:12.710 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 00:00:14.050 --> 00:00:16.089 Surah Friday 00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:23.239 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:32.719 Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth glorifies God, the Holy King, the Mighty, the Wise 00:00:33.859 --> 00:00:40.340 Everything in the seven heavens and everything on the two earths of His creation glorify God 00:00:40.659 --> 00:00:43.140 He glorifies him willingly or unwillingly 00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.799 He who has the dominion and authority of this world and the hereafter 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.320 Whose command is effective in the heavens and the earth and all that is in them 00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.719 He is pure from everything that polytheists add to Him 00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.320 They describe him with something that is not one of his characteristics 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:01.719 Blessed 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.920 He is intense in his revenge on his enemies 00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.000 The wise man is in his management of his creation 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:13.200 He directed them to what he knew best of their interests 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:30.680 It is He who sent among the trustworthy a messenger from among themselves who recites to them His verses, purifies them, and teaches them the Book and wisdom 00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:40.560 And He teaches them the Book and the Wisdom, even though before that they were in clear error 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.359 God is the one who sent among the Arabs a messenger from among them 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.159 His saying is a metaphor for the name of God 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:54.799 He recites to these illiterate people the verses God revealed to him 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.519 And purifies them from the filth of disbelief 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:02.280 He teaches them the Book of God and what it contains of God’s commands and prohibitions 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.000 And the laws of his religion and the Sunnah 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:11.360 These people were illiterate before God sent among them a messenger 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:13.960 In intentionally unfairness 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:20.120 It becomes clear to those who contemplate it that it is a misguidance and an injustice away from the truth and the path of guidance 00:02:21.819 --> 00:02:25.979 And others of them when they catch up with them 00:02:26.419 --> 00:02:29.379 He is the Mighty, the Wise 00:02:30.020 --> 00:02:35.180 That is the grace of God, which He gives to whomever He wishes 00:02:35.740 --> 00:02:39.379 God is of great bounty 00:02:40.889 --> 00:02:44.250 It is He who sent among the illiterate people a messenger from among them 00:02:44.770 --> 00:02:53.169 And every successor is attached to those who accompanied the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in their conversion to Islam, from any race 00:02:53.569 --> 00:02:56.250 They have not come yet and they will come 00:02:56.930 --> 00:03:01.050 God Almighty will take revenge on those who disbelieve in Him 00:03:01.530 --> 00:03:03.849 The wise man is in his management of his creation 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:05.879 This is God's grace 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.560 Prefer it over these and not over others 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.919 And God bestows His bounty on whomsoever He wishes of His creation 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.960 He who has been forbidden by God does not deserve to be blamed 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.759 Because he didn't really stop him, he had it before him 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.280 There is no injustice to him in diverting it to someone else 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.479 But he knew who had family 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.840 So entrust it to him and keep it with him 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.719 God is the Possessor of grace to His servants 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.000 The good ones and the bad ones 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.960 The one who diminishes the merit of everyone who is favored by Him 00:03:42.870 --> 00:03:52.110 The example of those who carried the Torah and then did not carry it is like a donkey carrying books 00:03:52.750 --> 00:03:58.389 Miserable are the people who denied the signs of God 00:03:58.990 --> 00:04:02.990 And God does not guide the unjust people 00:04:04.590 --> 00:04:08.270 Like those who were given the Torah, both Jews and Christians 00:04:08.789 --> 00:04:12.629 So they decided to work with it and then did not work with what was in it 00:04:13.229 --> 00:04:16.629 And they lied about Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:04:17.149 --> 00:04:21.870 They were commanded to believe in him, follow him, and believe in him 00:04:22.509 --> 00:04:26.709 Like a donkey carrying books of knowledge on its back 00:04:27.230 --> 00:04:30.189 He does not benefit from it and does not understand what is in it 00:04:30.990 --> 00:04:37.550 So are those who were given the Torah, which contains an explanation of the command of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:04:38.149 --> 00:04:40.910 Like them if they do not benefit from what is in it 00:04:41.550 --> 00:04:45.310 Like a donkey that carries books containing knowledge 00:04:45.910 --> 00:04:48.790 He does not understand it and does not benefit from it 00:04:49.430 --> 00:04:55.670 How miserable this example is like the people who rejected God’s signs, evidence, and arguments 00:04:56.310 --> 00:05:02.389 And God will not grant success to the people who wronged themselves and disbelieved in the signs of their Lord 00:05:04.250 --> 00:05:32.410 Say, O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are friends of God rather than people, then wish for death if you are truthful. 00:05:34.019 --> 00:05:35.779 Say, O Muhammad, to the Jews 00:05:36.500 --> 00:05:43.060 O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are friends of God to the exclusion of people except you 00:05:43.620 --> 00:05:50.899 So wish for death if you are truthful in your statement that you are friends of God rather than people 00:05:51.459 --> 00:05:56.420 God does not punish His friends, but rather honors them and bestows blessings upon them 00:05:57.139 --> 00:06:10.100 And if you are right in what you say, then wish for death so that you may be relieved from the distress of this world and its worries and sorrows, and attain the spirit of Paradise and its bliss through death. 00:06:11.689 --> 00:06:24.009 And they will never wish for it because of what their hands have put forward. And God is All-Knowing of the wrongdoers 00:06:25.430 --> 00:06:33.589 The Jews never wish for death because of the sins they acquired in this world and the evil deeds they committed 00:06:34.310 --> 00:06:40.470 And God is All-Knowing of whoever among his creation wronged himself, so he punished it with his disbelief in God 00:06:41.800 --> 00:07:04.920 Say, “The death from which you are fleeing will meet you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you of what you used to do.” 00:07:06.620 --> 00:07:21.980 Say, O Muhammad, to the Jews: The death from which you are fleeing and which you hate and refuse to wish for will meet you and descend upon you. Then you will be returned to the world of the unseen and the witnessed. 00:07:22.540 --> 00:07:28.939 That is, then your Lord will return you after your death to the unseen world of the heavens and the earth 00:07:29.769 --> 00:07:36.170 Testimony is what was witnessed and appeared to the eye and did not escape the sight of onlookers 00:07:36.170 --> 00:07:53.850 Then He will tell you what deeds you did in this world, good and bad, because He encompasses all of them. Then He will reward you for that, the doer of good with His good, and the wrongdoer with what he deserves. 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:26.279 O you who are truthful to God and His Messenger, when the call to Friday prayer is made when the imam sits on the pulpit to deliver the sermon, then they go to the remembrance of God and work for Him and abandon buying and selling when the call is called for prayer during the sermon. 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:40.519 When the call to prayer begins on Friday, for you to seek the remembrance of God and forsake selling, is better for you than buying and selling at that time, if you know the benefits and harms of your souls. 00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:46.759 When the prayer is completed, spread out over the land and seek God’s bounty, and remember God often, that you may succeed 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:51.080 If you perform the Friday prayer on Friday, spread out throughout the land if you wish 00:08:51.080 --> 00:09:10.779 When the prayer is completed, spread out over the land and seek God’s bounty, and remember God often, that you may succeed 00:09:10.779 --> 00:09:21.419 If you perform the Friday prayer on Friday, spread out across the land if you wish. This is a permission from God for you to do so 00:09:21.419 --> 00:09:30.419 And seek the bounty of God, in whose hands are the keys to His treasures for your life in this world and your hereafter, and remember God with praise to Him. 00:09:30.419 --> 00:09:43.419 And thanks for the success He has bestowed upon you in performing His obligations, so that you may succeed, so that your requests may be fulfilled before your Lord, and you may attain eternity in His Paradise. 00:09:43.419 --> 00:10:07.029 And if they see trade or entertainment, they go to it and leave you standing. Say: What is with God is better than entertainment and than trade, and God is the Best of Providers. 00:10:07.029 --> 00:10:19.929 And if the believers see the shame or entertainment of trade, they go to it, meaning they hasten to trade and leave you, O Muhammad, standing on the pulpit. 00:10:19.929 --> 00:10:28.929 This is because of the trade they saw, so the people dispersed to it and left the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, standing 00:10:28.929 --> 00:10:44.090 It was oil brought by Dihya bin Khalifa from the Levant. Tell them, O Muhammad, who has the reward from God for whoever sits and listens to the prayer of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. 00:10:44.090 --> 00:11:03.039 It is better for him than amusement and commerce to which they devote themselves, and God is the best Provider. So to Him, seek your sustenance, and to Him, ask that He extend to you His bounty and no other. 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.039 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
