00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.039
A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:12.740
Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammar.

00:00:14.150 --> 00:00:16.149
Surah al-Shura.

00:00:18.429 --> 00:00:22.629
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:23.589 --> 00:00:29.510
“And it was not (vouchsafed) to any mortal that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by revelation or from behind a veil, or (that) He sendeth a messenger to reveal what He will by His leave. Lo! He is Exalted, Wise.” (42:51)

00:00:29.710 --> 00:00:36.710
“And it was not (vouchsafed) to any mortal that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by revelation or from behind a veil, or (that) He sendeth a messenger to reveal what He will by His leave. Lo! He is Exalted, Wise.” (42:51)

00:00:37.109 --> 00:00:43.390
“And it was not (vouchsafed) to any mortal that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by revelation or from behind a veil, or (that) He sendeth a messenger to reveal what He will by His leave. Lo! He is Exalted, Wise.” (42:51)

00:00:43.710 --> 00:00:48.509
Indeed, He is Exalted, All-Wise.

00:00:50.210 --> 00:00:54.609
It is not given to any human being among the children of Adam that Allah should speak to him,

00:00:54.969 --> 00:00:58.570
except by revelation, where Allah reveals to him as He wills,

00:00:58.969 --> 00:01:02.969
or by speaking to him from behind a veil, such that he hears His speech but does not see Him,

00:01:03.369 --> 00:01:06.569
or by Allah sending a messenger from among His angels,

00:01:06.969 --> 00:01:13.569
who then reveals to the one sent, by the permission of His Lord, whatever He wills of commands and prohibitions.

00:01:13.969 --> 00:01:16.769
Indeed, He is exalted above all things.

00:01:16.969 --> 00:01:19.969
He is possessor of wisdom in the governance of His creation.

00:01:21.969 --> 00:01:27.370
“And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our command. Thou knewest not what the Scripture was, nor what the Faith. But We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen. And lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path,” (42:52)

00:01:27.769 --> 00:01:31.969
“And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our command. Thou knewest not what the Scripture was, nor what the Faith. But We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen. And lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path,” (42:52)

00:01:32.170 --> 00:01:35.569
Rather, We have made it a light.

00:01:36.170 --> 00:01:40.569
“And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our command. Thou knewest not what the Scripture was, nor what the Faith. But We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen. And lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path,” (42:52)

00:01:40.769 --> 00:01:44.569
“And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our command. Thou knewest not what the Scripture was, nor what the Faith. But We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen. And lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path,” (42:52)

00:01:45.170 --> 00:01:51.569
“And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our command. Thou knewest not what the Scripture was, nor what the Faith. But We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen. And lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path,” (42:52)

00:01:53.299 --> 00:01:56.299
And just as We revealed to the rest of Our messengers,

00:01:56.700 --> 00:02:00.700
so too have We revealed to you, O Muhammad, this Qur'an,

00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:02.700
as a mercy from Our command.

00:02:03.099 --> 00:02:07.900
You did not know, O Muhammad, what the Book was, nor what faith was.

00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:12.099
But We have made this Qur'an a radiance for the people.

00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:18.900
By this Qur'an, We guide whom We will of Our servants to the straight path.

00:02:19.099 --> 00:02:23.900
And indeed, O Muhammad, you guide our servants to a straight path,

00:02:24.099 --> 00:02:28.580
through calling them to Allah and clarifying the truth to them.

00:02:28.780 --> 00:02:34.780
“The path of Allah, unto Whom belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Do not all things reach Allah at last?” (42:53)

00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:42.659
“The path of Allah, unto Whom belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Do not all things reach Allah at last?” (42:53)

00:02:43.060 --> 00:02:48.060
The path of Allah, to Whom belongs the dominion of all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth.

00:02:48.460 --> 00:02:52.860
Behold, O people, to Allah shall all your affairs return in the Hereafter.

00:02:52.860 --> 00:02:55.860
And He will judge between you with justice.

00:02:55.860 --> 00:03:01.009
