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-Shammari
Surah Al-An'am
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Only those who hear respond
And the dead are resurrected by God
Then to Him they will return
God Almighty says mentioning it to His Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
Do not let the symptoms of those who turn away from you become greater than you
Only those whose ears God has opened to listen to the truth will respond to your prayers
It is easy for them to follow guidance
And the infidels are sent by God with the dead
Then to God are the believers who responded to God and the Messenger
And the infidels whom God prevents them from understanding anything about you
And they said, “If only a sign had been sent down to him from his Lord.”
Say that God is able to send down a sign, but most of them do not know
They said: Has there not been sent down to Muhammad a sign from his Lord?
Say, O Muhammad, that God is able to provide proof for what they want and ask
But most of those who say that ask you for a sign
They do not know what will happen to them in the verse if calamity befalls them
They do not know why Turk directed this to you
If they knew the reason why I did not reveal it to you, they would not say that
But most of them don't know
There is no animal on the earth nor a bird that flies with its wings except nations like you
We have not omitted anything in the Book. Then to their Lord they will be gathered
Tell those who are exposed
O people, do not think that God is unaware of what you do
How can he ignore your work?
He is not heedless of doing anything on the ground, whether big or small
Nor did a bird fly with its wings in the air
Rather, he made all of this into classified categories
You know as you know
And behave with what you have been subjected to as you do
And whatever work she did for her and against her is preserved
All of her works are recorded in the Mother of the Book
The Lord, who did not waste, preserved the works of the beasts and animals on the earth
And the bird is in the air
I hope your work is not wasted, people
Until He gathers you and rewards you for it
And those who deny Our signs are silent and dumb in darkness
Whomever God wills, He will lead astray, and whomever He wills, He will place on a straight path
And those who deny God's arguments and evidence
Deaf from hearing the truth and from being told
In the darkness of disbelief, confused in it
God misleads whomever He wishes to lead astray among His creation from faith to disbelief
The one who guides to the straight path is the one who loves his guidance
He was successful thanks to him and his patience in believing in him
Say, Muhammad
Tell me, O people, if the punishment of God comes to you
Like those who came before you from among the nations
Or the hour has come to you in which you will be raised from your graves
Other than God, there you are praying to uncover the affliction that has befallen you
If you are right in your prayers
That the gods you call upon other than God benefit or harm
Rather, it is Him you call upon, and He reveals what you call upon, if He wills
And you forget what you associate with Him
Rather, you call there your Lord who created you
He will release you when you call upon Him for help and plead with Him
Great is the calamity that befalls you
And you forget when the punishment of God comes to you
Or the Hour will come to you with its horrors
What you associate with God
We were sent to nations before you
So We seized them with hardship and hardship
Maybe they will pray
And We have sent, O Muhammad, to groups and centuries
So we commanded them and forbade them
So they denied our Messenger
So we tested them with severe poverty and hardship in living
And diseases in bodies
We did this to them so that they would pray to me
They devote their worship to Me by submitting to Me with obedience
Had He not brought to them Our punishment, they had supplicated
But their hearts were hardened
Satan made what they were doing seem pleasing to them
So is it not, when Our punishment has come to these lying nations?
They supplicated and submitted to their Lord and submitted to His obedience
Then their Lord will turn away from them His punishment
But they were arrogant in regard to the command of their Lord
The hardness of their hearts
Satan pleased them with the deeds they were doing
Which God hates and displeases
When they forgot what they were reminded of
We opened the doors to everything for them
Until, when they rejoiced in what they had been given, We seized them suddenly
So they are confused
When they abandoned doing what we ordered them to do
We changed the place of sadness
Prosperity and abundance of living
And the place of hardship
Health and safety in bodies
Luring us to them
Even if these liars are happy that We have opened for them the doors of abundance and health
We brought them torment suddenly while they were jealous
Then they will perish, regretting what they did in the past
He cut off the roots of the people who had wronged
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
So the people who rebelled against their Lord and disobeyed His command were uprooted
About the last of them
None of them left except your family
Full praise and complete thanks to God, Lord of the worlds
For His blessings upon His Messengers and those who obey Him
By presenting their arguments to the disbelievers who disagreed with them
And fulfilling what they promised them despite their disbelief in God
Say: Have you seen that God took your hearing and your sight and sealed your hearts?
And a seal on your hearts is there any god other than God who will bring it to you?
See how We explain the verses and then they change
Say, O Muhammad, what have you seen, O polytheists?
If God made you deaf, thus taking away your hearing, and blinded you, thus taking away your sight
He sealed your hearts and imprinted them
So that you do not understand a word or see an argument
Is there any god other than God who will return to you what God has taken away from you?
See how we follow up on the arguments
We give them examples and lessons for them to consider
Then they show
Say: What do you think if the punishment of God comes to you suddenly or openly?
Intensely or openly, will any of them perish except the unjust people?
Say, Muhammad
Tell me if the punishment of God comes upon you for what you associate with Him by surprise
Or has the punishment of God come to you while you are witnessing it?
Will God destroy us and you except those who worship other than those worthy of worship?
We do not send messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners
Whoever believes and reforms, they will have no fear, nor will they grieve
We do not send our messengers except with the good news of Paradise for the obedient people
With a warning to those who disobey us, we will be punished
Whoever believes Our Messengers and accepts from them what they brought from God and does good deeds in this world
There is no fear for them when they come to their Lord of His punishment and torment
Nor do they grieve then for what they left behind in this world
And those who deny Our signs, the torment will touch them because they were defiantly disobedient
As for those who denied Our messengers and disobeyed Our commands and prohibitions
For they will be subjected to Our torment because they denied our proofs
Say, “I do not tell you that I have the treasures of God, and I do not know the unseen.”
I do not know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am a king
I follow only what is revealed to me
Say: Are the blind and the seeing equal?
Don't you think?
Tell those who deny your prophecy
I am not telling you that there is a Lord who owns the treasures of the heavens and the earth
I know the secrets of hidden things
So you disbelieve me in what I say about that
I am not telling you that I am a king
Because a king should not be visible in his image to the eyes of humans in this world
What I follow is what I tell you and call you to
Except for the revelation of God that He reveals to me
So he carried out his message and they performed Umrah according to his command
Tell them, O Muhammad
Are the blind from the truth equal to the one who sees it?
The blind is the unbeliever and the seeing is the believer
Don't you think about what I am using as evidence against you, O people?
So learn the truth of what I say about the corruption of what you are standing in of associating with idols
And warn with it those who fear that they will be gathered to their Lord, having no protector besides Him
They have no guardian or intercessor besides Him, so that they may fear
And warn, O Muhammad, with the Qur’an the people who fear that they will be gathered to their Lord
They believe in God’s promise and threat
They have no one to protect them from the punishment of God and save them from it
There is no intercessor who can intercede for them with God and save them from His punishment
Warn them to fear God within themselves
They obey their Lord and work for their enemy
And do not ape those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His face
You do not have to account for anything from them, nor do you have to account for them
And you do not have to account for them in any way, so you expel them and become among the wrongdoers
And do not expel, O Muhammad, those who call on their Lord and ask Him for His pardon and forgiveness
He reminded them of it on their tongues in the morning and evening
They thus seek closeness to God and closeness to His satisfaction
You do not have to account for the provision you have provided them with
And they do not have to bear any account for the provision I have provided you with
Then you expel them and become one of the wrongdoers
And thus We tried some of them with others so that they would say, “Are these people the gift of God upon them?”
To say: Are these people from among us whom God bestows upon them?
Doesn't God know those who are thankful?
Likewise, We tested and tested some of His creation with others
This includes his disagreement with them in what he allocated to them of livelihood and morals
He made some rich and some poor
Some are strong and some are weak
I need each other
To say: Who has been led astray by God?
Are these people whom God has bestowed guidance and guidance on?
They are poor, weak, and humiliated
I know who of My creation is thankful for My blessings and who is disbeliever
And when those who believe in Our signs come to you, say, “Peace be upon you.”
Your Lord has decreed mercy upon Himself that whoever among you does evil
Whoever among you does evil out of ignorance and then repents
Then he repented after him and succeeded, for He is Forgiving and Merciful
And when the people come to you, O Muhammad, who believe in our evidence and arguments
They seek guidance from their past sins
Do they have repentance, so do not despair of them
And tell them: God has protected you from your sins
To punish you for it after you repent of it
Your Lord, merciful to His creation, has decreed that whoever among you has committed a sin will be punished
Then he repents and makes amends, for his sin is forgiven if he repents
He is merciful to the repentant by punishing him for his sin after he repents of it
And thus We detail the verses to clarify the path of the criminals
We will also detail our information and evidence for you and explain them to you
Until it becomes clear what is right from what is wrong and what is right from what is wrong
And may the path of criminals become clear to you and to the believers
Say, “I am forbidden to worship those whom you call upon besides God.”
Say, “I do not follow your desires. I have gone astray, and I am not among those who are guided.”
Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists
God has forbidden me from worshiping those whom you call upon other than Him
I will not follow you on what you call me to do
I will not give you your love and desire for it
If you do that, you have abandoned the argument of truth
So I became astray like you, without integrity
Say, “Indeed, I have clear knowledge from my Lord,” and you have denied him
I don't have anything to rush you with
Judgment belongs only to God
He tells the truth and is the best of deciders
Say, O Muhammad, I am upon a statement that I have made clear
And proof has been made clear to me from my Lord
And you lied about your Lord
Why are you in a hurry to avoid God's wrath and torment at my hand?
Nor am I capable of that
What is the ruling on what you, O polytheists, hasten to do with God’s punishment?
Except God, who is not unjust in His judgment
He is the best of those who decide between us through His judgment and judgment
Tell me if I have something you are in a hurry with
To settle the matter between you and me
And God knows best the wrongdoers
Say, O Muhammad, if only I had the punishment that you can hasten
To settle the matter between you and me
So the separation was quicker
But that is in God's hands
Who knows best the time of His sending against the wrongdoers
He knows best when to take revenge on them
