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 00:00:14.220 --> 00:00:16.500 Surah Al Imran 00:00:17.739 --> 00:00:22.059 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:22.809 --> 00:00:29.769 Say, “I inform you of something better than that.” 00:00:30.089 --> 00:00:44.170 For those who fear their Lord will have gardens beneath which rivers flow 00:00:44.170 --> 00:00:52.969 They will abide therein and have purified wives 00:00:52.969 --> 00:00:57.009 And satisfaction from God 00:00:57.170 --> 00:01:02.250 And God sees the servants 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:07.480 Say, O Muhammad, to the people to whom the love of desires has been made beautiful 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:13.200 I will inform you and inform you of what is better for you than what has been decorated for you in this world 00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.079 For those who feared God and obeyed Him 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:22.799 They will have gardens under whose trees rivers flow, with their Lord, wherein they will abide forever 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:27.920 And wives who have been purified of every sin with the women of the people of the world 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.040 From menstruation, semen, urine, and postpartum 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:32.599 And God is satisfied 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:38.519 And God has full insight into those of His servants who fear Him and those who do not fear Him 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:43.560 He rewards the doer of good with his good deeds and the wrongdoer with his evil 00:01:44.780 --> 00:01:52.980 Those who say, “Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us.” 00:01:53.540 --> 00:02:00.019 So forgive us our sins and protect us from the torment of the Fire 00:02:01.250 --> 00:02:05.730 We believed in you, your Prophet, and what he brought from you 00:02:06.409 --> 00:02:10.370 So cover us with your forgiveness and protect us from the torment of the Fire 00:02:11.379 --> 00:02:19.580 The patient, the truthful, the obedient, and the spenders 00:02:20.139 --> 00:02:27.180 And those who spend and seek forgiveness at dawn 00:02:28.699 --> 00:02:32.580 Those who are patient in times of adversity, adversity, and times of hardship 00:02:33.139 --> 00:02:35.620 And those who believed God in what they said 00:02:36.139 --> 00:02:39.139 By achieving recognition of Him and His Messenger 00:02:39.699 --> 00:02:40.979 And those who are obedient to him 00:02:41.539 --> 00:02:43.780 And those who pay zakat on their wealth 00:02:44.419 --> 00:02:48.060 And those who spend their money in ways that God has permitted 00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:53.740 And those who ask their Lord to cover up their scandal at dawn 00:02:55.169 --> 00:02:59.969 God bears witness that there is no god but Him 00:03:00.289 --> 00:03:03.889 And the angels and those with knowledge 00:03:04.530 --> 00:03:12.449 And the angels and those with knowledge stand with justice 00:03:13.090 --> 00:03:17.409 There is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:22.000 God bears witness that there is no god but Him 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.680 The angels and those with knowledge bore witness to this 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.960 It is God who follows justice among His creation 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.479 Nothing is worthy of worship except Him 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.000 The one who does not want anything prevented from him 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.400 Wise in his management 00:03:39.379 --> 00:03:45.460 The religion before God is Islam 00:03:46.180 --> 00:03:57.060 Those who were given the Book did not differ except on some of the knowledge that came to them out of envy among themselves 00:03:57.780 --> 00:04:05.780 And whoever disbelieves in the verses of God, God is quick to judge 00:04:07.069 --> 00:04:09.389 Obedience and humility are with God 00:04:09.949 --> 00:04:10.990 It is obedience to Him 00:04:11.629 --> 00:04:15.550 And tongues and hearts acknowledge his servitude and humiliation 00:04:16.110 --> 00:04:19.790 And her submission to him by obeying what he commanded and prohibited 00:04:20.430 --> 00:04:25.389 Those who were given the Gospel did not differ regarding the matter of Jesus and their slander against God 00:04:25.949 --> 00:04:30.029 Except after they knew the truth regarding the matter in which they differed 00:04:30.670 --> 00:04:33.629 They did not say that out of ignorance of his mistake 00:04:34.189 --> 00:04:36.910 But they were encroaching on each other 00:04:37.470 --> 00:04:39.470 He sought principalities and kingship 00:04:40.269 --> 00:04:44.509 Whoever denies God’s proofs, God is quick to count 00:04:45.149 --> 00:04:47.550 Every worker kept his job 00:04:48.110 --> 00:04:52.829 There is no need for him to tie a knot as his creation ties it with their palms 00:04:53.230 --> 00:04:55.230 Or help him with their hearts 00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:05.180 If they dispute with you, say, “I submit my face to God and whoever follows.” 00:05:05.819 --> 00:05:13.180 And say to those who were given the Book and to the unlettered ones, “Have you submitted?” 00:05:13.819 --> 00:05:17.019 If they convert to Islam, they are guided 00:05:17.500 --> 00:05:24.379 But if they turn away, then it is your duty to convey the message 00:05:25.100 --> 00:05:30.139 And God sees the servants 00:05:31.389 --> 00:05:35.470 Your argument, O Muhammad, is a group of Christians from the people of Najran 00:05:35.949 --> 00:05:38.430 In the matter of Jesus, may God’s prayers be upon him 00:05:38.910 --> 00:05:40.910 They disputed with you about it falsely 00:05:41.550 --> 00:05:47.470 So say, “I lead God alone with my tongue, my heart, and all my limbs.” 00:05:47.949 --> 00:05:51.629 And whoever follows me also submits, his face to God is with me 00:05:52.350 --> 00:05:56.750 And say, O Muhammad, to those who were given the Book from among the Jews and Christians 00:05:57.230 --> 00:06:01.230 The illiterate people who do not have a book are among the Arab polytheists 00:06:01.790 --> 00:06:03.389 Have you singled out monotheism? 00:06:03.870 --> 00:06:07.550 And you devoted your worship and divinity to the Lord of the Worlds 00:06:08.110 --> 00:06:12.750 If they lead to singling out the oneness of God and sincerity of worship to Him 00:06:13.310 --> 00:06:15.310 They have followed the path of truth 00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:20.220 Even if they turn away and turn away from what you call them to of Islam 00:06:20.860 --> 00:06:23.180 You are only a messenger who communicates 00:06:23.819 --> 00:06:27.019 God knows who will obey you in Islam 00:06:27.500 --> 00:06:30.060 And who among them takes care of an exhibition 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:45.600 They kill the prophets unjustly 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:51.120 And they kill those who command justice 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:57.120 And they kill those who command justice among the people 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.680 So give them good tidings of a painful punishment 00:07:03.220 --> 00:07:07.220 Those who deny God's proofs deny them 00:07:07.860 --> 00:07:10.420 They kill God's messengers unjustly 00:07:11.060 --> 00:07:14.899 And they kill their commanders with justice in God’s commands and prohibitions 00:07:15.379 --> 00:07:20.100 So tell them, O Muhammad, that they will have a painful punishment with God 00:07:21.149 --> 00:07:33.300 Those whose deeds are worthless in this world and the hereafter 00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:41.040 Those we mentioned 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.399 They are the ones whose deeds in this world are worthless 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.759 They did not receive praise from the people 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.360 In the afterlife, punishment is prepared for them 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.000 And the people’s allies have no helper from God to help them 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.480 So he took revenge on them 00:07:59.500 --> 00:08:04.699 Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture? 00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:12.699 They call for the Book of God to judge between them 00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:22.699 Then a team of them takes over 00:08:23.019 --> 00:08:25.980 And they are vulnerable 00:08:27.490 --> 00:08:31.490 Have you not seen, O Muhammad, those who have been given a portion of the Book? 00:08:32.049 --> 00:08:36.529 They called for the Book which they acknowledged was from God 00:08:37.009 --> 00:08:41.490 In some of the disputes over the matter of Muhammad and his prophethood 00:08:42.049 --> 00:08:45.090 Or the matter and religion of Abraham, the friend of the Most Merciful 00:08:45.649 --> 00:08:49.970 Or what was obligatory for them to respond to in their religion 00:08:50.450 --> 00:08:51.649 So they abstained from it 00:08:52.129 --> 00:08:56.370 Then he turns away from the Book of God, turning away from it 00:08:57.649 --> 00:09:07.809 That is because they said, “The Fire will not touch us except for a number of days.” 00:09:08.370 --> 00:09:14.769 And what they invented deceived them in their religion 00:09:16.029 --> 00:09:17.870 That's because these 00:09:18.350 --> 00:09:22.909 They refused to respond to the ruling of the Torah to which they called 00:09:23.470 --> 00:09:24.750 For what they say 00:09:25.309 --> 00:09:28.350 The fire will not touch us for more than forty days 00:09:28.909 --> 00:09:31.789 These are the days in which they worshiped the calf 00:09:32.350 --> 00:09:34.590 Then our Lord will take us out of it 00:09:35.070 --> 00:09:39.710 They were deceived by the lies and falsehoods they were making up 00:09:40.110 --> 00:09:43.950 In their prayers, they are God’s children and loved ones 00:09:45.179 --> 00:09:49.899 So what if we gather them for a day about which there is no doubt? 00:09:49.899 --> 00:10:00.210 And every soul shall be paid in full what it has earned, and they shall not be wronged 00:10:01.490 --> 00:10:06.529 What condition will be the condition of these people who said this? 00:10:07.090 --> 00:10:11.250 If He gathers them on the Day of Resurrection, the coming of which there is no doubt 00:10:11.889 --> 00:10:14.850 The day every worker will be paid the penalty for his work 00:10:15.409 --> 00:10:16.690 And they are not wronged 00:10:17.330 --> 00:10:19.970 The benefactor does not underestimate the reward of his benevolence 00:10:20.289 --> 00:10:23.490 An offender is not punished for anything other than his crime 00:10:51.169 --> 00:11:01.970 And You exalt whomever You wish and humiliate whom You wish. With Your hand is goodness 00:11:03.090 --> 00:11:09.039 You are powerful over everything 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.379 Say, Muhammad 00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:14.059 Oh God 00:11:14.460 --> 00:11:15.980 O owner of the king 00:11:16.539 --> 00:11:21.019 O He who has exclusive dominion in this world and the Hereafter, to the exclusion of anyone else 00:11:21.019 --> 00:11:50.059 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 00:11:50.059 --> 00:12:14.659 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. 00:12:14.659 --> 00:12:34.299 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. 00:12:34.299 --> 00:12:47.720 And You bring forth living human beings, livestock, and livestock from dead sperm. 00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:52.460 You give to whomever you wish, and you are generous to him without accountability. 00:12:52.460 --> 00:12:56.659 Because you are not afraid of diminution entering your closets 00:12:56.659 --> 00:13:00.139 Nor annihilation according to what is in your hand 00:13:00.299 --> 00:13:09.620 Believers do not take unbelievers as allies instead of believers 00:13:09.620 --> 00:13:24.580 Whoever does that has nothing to do with God unless you fear them and fear Him 00:13:24.580 --> 00:13:32.980 God Himself warns you, and to God is the final destination 00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:37.779 Do not, O believers, take the disbelievers as supporters and supporters 00:13:37.779 --> 00:13:42.700 You support them in their religion and support them against the Muslims 00:13:42.700 --> 00:13:45.620 And you show them their private parts 00:13:45.620 --> 00:13:49.500 For whoever does that has been disowned by God 00:13:49.500 --> 00:13:53.340 God absolved him of his apostasy from his religion 00:13:53.460 --> 00:13:58.539 Unless you are under their authority and you fear them for yourselves 00:13:58.539 --> 00:14:04.059 So you show your loyalty to them with your tongues and harbor hostility towards them 00:14:04.059 --> 00:14:07.700 And do not help them against a Muslim by action 00:14:07.700 --> 00:14:13.940 God makes you afraid of Himself, lest you commit His sins or associate with His enemies 00:14:13.940 --> 00:14:18.460 For God is your return and your destiny after your death 00:14:18.460 --> 00:14:22.559 So beware of him, lest he inflict upon you severe torment 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:30.919 Say whether you hide what is in your chests or reveal it, God knows it 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:35.799 And He knows what is in the heavens and what is on earth 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:42.480 God is capable of everything 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.320 Say, Muhammad 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:49.279 If you conceal what is in your breasts of allegiance to the infidels, then be happy 00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:55.039 Or do you show that from yourselves through your tongues and actions, and so they become apparent? 00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:58.120 God knows it and it is not hidden from him 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:03.399 He knows what is in the heavens and what is on earth, so nothing is hidden from Him 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:09.399 And God is capable of punishing you for your loyalty to them 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.470 And whatever he wants of all matters 00:15:13.509 --> 00:15:21.710 On the Day when every soul will find present what good it has done 00:15:21.710 --> 00:15:39.750 Whatever evil she has done, she wishes that there would be a long period of time between her and him 00:15:39.830 --> 00:15:50.409 God Himself warns you, and God is Most Merciful to His servants 00:15:50.409 --> 00:15:58.529 God himself warns you of a day when every soul will find the good it has done present and abundant 00:15:58.529 --> 00:16:04.769 Whatever evil she has done, she wishes there was a distant goal between her and him 00:16:04.809 --> 00:16:11.210 God Himself warns you not to displease it by riding what He displeases you with 00:16:11.210 --> 00:16:14.649 So you go to him while he is angry with you 00:16:14.649 --> 00:16:19.320 God is kind to His servants and merciful to them 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:28.720 Say: If you love God, follow me 00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:33.960 God loves you and forgives your sins 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:37.840 God is Forgiving and Merciful 00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:42.700 Say, O Muhammad, to the delegation from the Christians of Najran 00:16:42.700 --> 00:16:49.019 If you claim that you love God and that you venerate Christ 00:16:49.019 --> 00:16:56.220 So fulfill what you say, if you are truthful, by following Me 00:16:56.220 --> 00:17:02.419 For if you follow me and believe in what I have brought to you from God 00:17:02.419 --> 00:17:04.819 He forgives you for your sins 00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:08.579 For He is Forgiving for the sins of His faithful servants 00:17:08.579 --> 00:17:12.529 Merciful to them and to others of His creation 00:17:12.529 --> 00:17:16.890 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” 00:17:16.890 --> 00:17:26.230 If they turn away, then God does not love the disbelievers 00:17:26.230 --> 00:17:30.630 Say, O Muhammad, to this delegation from the Christians of Najran 00:17:30.670 --> 00:17:33.990 Obey God and the Messenger Muhammad 00:17:33.990 --> 00:17:38.309 If they turn away from what I called them to and turn away from it 00:17:38.309 --> 00:17:41.869 So teach them that God does not love those who disbelieve 00:17:41.869 --> 00:17:46.140 He denied what he knew of the truth 00:17:46.140 --> 00:17:50.220 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
