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 Imran
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Say, “I inform you of something better than that.”
For those who fear their Lord will have gardens beneath which rivers flow
They will abide therein and have purified wives
And satisfaction from God
And God sees the servants
Say, O Muhammad, to the people to whom the love of desires has been made beautiful
I will inform you and inform you of what is better for you than what has been decorated for you in this world
For those who feared God and obeyed Him
They will have gardens under whose trees rivers flow, with their Lord, wherein they will abide forever
And wives who have been purified of every sin with the women of the people of the world
From menstruation, semen, urine, and postpartum
And God is satisfied
And God has full insight into those of His servants who fear Him and those who do not fear Him
He rewards the doer of good with his good deeds and the wrongdoer with his evil
Those who say, “Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us.”
So forgive us our sins and protect us from the torment of the Fire
We believed in you, your Prophet, and what he brought from you
So cover us with your forgiveness and protect us from the torment of the Fire
The patient, the truthful, the obedient, and the spenders
And those who spend and seek forgiveness at dawn
Those who are patient in times of adversity, adversity, and times of hardship
And those who believed God in what they said
By achieving recognition of Him and His Messenger
And those who are obedient to him
And those who pay zakat on their wealth
And those who spend their money in ways that God has permitted
And those who ask their Lord to cover up their scandal at dawn
God bears witness that there is no god but Him
And the angels and those with knowledge
And the angels and those with knowledge stand with justice
There is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise
God bears witness that there is no god but Him
The angels and those with knowledge bore witness to this
It is God who follows justice among His creation
Nothing is worthy of worship except Him
The one who does not want anything prevented from him
Wise in his management
The religion before God is Islam
Those who were given the Book did not differ except on some of the knowledge that came to them out of envy among themselves
And whoever disbelieves in the verses of God, God is quick to judge
Obedience and humility are with God
It is obedience to Him
And tongues and hearts acknowledge his servitude and humiliation
And her submission to him by obeying what he commanded and prohibited
Those who were given the Gospel did not differ regarding the matter of Jesus and their slander against God
Except after they knew the truth regarding the matter in which they differed
They did not say that out of ignorance of his mistake
But they were encroaching on each other
He sought principalities and kingship
Whoever denies God’s proofs, God is quick to count
Every worker kept his job
There is no need for him to tie a knot as his creation ties it with their palms
Or help him with their hearts
If they dispute with you, say, “I submit my face to God and whoever follows.”
And say to those who were given the Book and to the unlettered ones, “Have you submitted?”
If they convert to Islam, they are guided
But if they turn away, then it is your duty to convey the message
And God sees the servants
Your argument, O Muhammad, is a group of Christians from the people of Najran
In the matter of Jesus, may God’s prayers be upon him
They disputed with you about it falsely
So say, “I lead God alone with my tongue, my heart, and all my limbs.”
And whoever follows me also submits, his face to God is with me
And say, O Muhammad, to those who were given the Book from among the Jews and Christians
The illiterate people who do not have a book are among the Arab polytheists
Have you singled out monotheism?
And you devoted your worship and divinity to the Lord of the Worlds
If they lead to singling out the oneness of God and sincerity of worship to Him
They have followed the path of truth
Even if they turn away and turn away from what you call them to of Islam
You are only a messenger who communicates
God knows who will obey you in Islam
And who among them takes care of an exhibition
They kill the prophets unjustly
And they kill those who command justice
And they kill those who command justice among the people
So give them good tidings of a painful punishment
Those who deny God's proofs deny them
They kill God's messengers unjustly
And they kill their commanders with justice in God’s commands and prohibitions
So tell them, O Muhammad, that they will have a painful punishment with God
Those whose deeds are worthless in this world and the hereafter
Those we mentioned
They are the ones whose deeds in this world are worthless
They did not receive praise from the people
In the afterlife, punishment is prepared for them
And the people’s allies have no helper from God to help them
So he took revenge on them
Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture?
They call for the Book of God to judge between them
Then a team of them takes over
And they are vulnerable
Have you not seen, O Muhammad, those who have been given a portion of the Book?
They called for the Book which they acknowledged was from God
In some of the disputes over the matter of Muhammad and his prophethood
Or the matter and religion of Abraham, the friend of the Most Merciful
Or what was obligatory for them to respond to in their religion
So they abstained from it
Then he turns away from the Book of God, turning away from it
That is because they said, “The Fire will not touch us except for a number of days.”
And what they invented deceived them in their religion
That's because these
They refused to respond to the ruling of the Torah to which they called
For what they say
The fire will not touch us for more than forty days
These are the days in which they worshiped the calf
Then our Lord will take us out of it
They were deceived by the lies and falsehoods they were making up
In their prayers, they are God’s children and loved ones
So what if we gather them for a day about which there is no doubt?
And every soul shall be paid in full what it has earned, and they shall not be wronged
What condition will be the condition of these people who said this?
If He gathers them on the Day of Resurrection, the coming of which there is no doubt
The day every worker will be paid the penalty for his work
And they are not wronged
The benefactor does not underestimate the reward of his benevolence
An offender is not punished for anything other than his crime
And You exalt whomever You wish and humiliate whom You wish. With Your hand is goodness
You are powerful over everything
Say, Muhammad
Oh God
O owner of the king
O He who has exclusive dominion in this world and the Hereafter, to the exclusion of anyone else
You give dominion to whomever you wish, you possess it and rule it over whomever you wish, you take it away from him, you honor whomever you wish by giving him kingdom and authority, and extending power over him, and you humiliate whomever you wish by taking away his kingdom and putting an enemy over him. All of that is in your hand and to you, and no one can do that. Because you are capable of everything
You cause the night to enter into the day, and You cause the day to enter into the night, and You bring out the living from the dead, and You bring out the dead from the living, and You provide for whomever You will without reckoning.
What is decreased in the hours of the night is included in the hours of the day, so you increase the decrease of this by increasing this, and what is decreased in the hours of the day is included in the hours of the night, so you add in the hours of the night what was decreased in the hours of the day.
And You bring forth living human beings, livestock, and livestock from dead sperm.
You give to whomever you wish, and you are generous to him without accountability.
Because you are not afraid of diminution entering your closets
Nor annihilation according to what is in your hand
Believers do not take unbelievers as allies instead of believers
Whoever does that has nothing to do with God unless you fear them and fear Him
God Himself warns you, and to God is the final destination
Do not, O believers, take the disbelievers as supporters and supporters
You support them in their religion and support them against the Muslims
And you show them their private parts
For whoever does that has been disowned by God
God absolved him of his apostasy from his religion
Unless you are under their authority and you fear them for yourselves
So you show your loyalty to them with your tongues and harbor hostility towards them
And do not help them against a Muslim by action
God makes you afraid of Himself, lest you commit His sins or associate with His enemies
For God is your return and your destiny after your death
So beware of him, lest he inflict upon you severe torment
Say whether you hide what is in your chests or reveal it, God knows it
And He knows what is in the heavens and what is on earth
God is capable of everything
Say, Muhammad
If you conceal what is in your breasts of allegiance to the infidels, then be happy
Or do you show that from yourselves through your tongues and actions, and so they become apparent?
God knows it and it is not hidden from him
He knows what is in the heavens and what is on earth, so nothing is hidden from Him
And God is capable of punishing you for your loyalty to them
And whatever he wants of all matters
On the Day when every soul will find present what good it has done
Whatever evil she has done, she wishes that there would be a long period of time between her and him
God Himself warns you, and God is Most Merciful to His servants
God himself warns you of a day when every soul will find the good it has done present and abundant
Whatever evil she has done, she wishes there was a distant goal between her and him
God Himself warns you not to displease it by riding what He displeases you with
So you go to him while he is angry with you
God is kind to His servants and merciful to them
Say: If you love God, follow me
God loves you and forgives your sins
God is Forgiving and Merciful
Say, O Muhammad, to the delegation from the Christians of Najran
If you claim that you love God and that you venerate Christ
So fulfill what you say, if you are truthful, by following Me
For if you follow me and believe in what I have brought to you from God
He forgives you for your sins
For He is Forgiving for the sins of His faithful servants
Merciful to them and to others of His creation
Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.”
If they turn away, then God does not love the disbelievers
Say, O Muhammad, to this delegation from the Christians of Najran
Obey God and the Messenger Muhammad
If they turn away from what I called them to and turn away from it
So teach them that God does not love those who disbelieve
He denied what he knew of the truth
